Wylie” portrait. 12in x 16in oil painting on canvas panel. One of my favorite subjects, my niece’s #cat, who sadly passed not too long ago. #petportrait #catportrait #catpainting #painting #art #traditionalart

JFC, this ghoul is absolutely soulless.

Tricia McLaughlin, asst sec at the Department of Homeland Security had this to say in response to Pope Leo insisting that Catholic detainees be allowed to receive Holy Communion.

Note to Trish: tough to administer the Sacrament when you’re being pelted with pepper balls and tear gas.

This turd Bovino is the spitting image of Sean Penn’s Col. Lockjaw.

Good question. Seems it was a legal issue. This is what Chat GPT had to say when I posed the question “Why didn’t Biden & the Democrats release the Epstein files when he was in office”:

Thousands in #OakPark IL coming out STRONG for #NoKingsRally! Happening now and growing by the minute.

Rain predicted for Chicago on Saturday’s #NoKings rally. Fortunately I have the perfect outfit ready to go and nothing can keep me away. #WearYellow Show up. Show out. #noFascists #NoTrump

I’ll be among the thousands expected to fill Scoville Park and lining Lake St at this weekend’s #NoKings protest in #OakPark IL. As a suburb adjoining Chicago, we’ve seen firsthand how Trump’s criminal ICE goons harass and abuse our neighbors and workers. Time to raise our voices and be heard!

inktober2025 day 5: Deer. This one’s in honor of possibly the least qualified Trump appointee, FBI Director Kash Patel (Pete Hegseth says “Hold my beer. No wait…gimme that back!”).

Happy Inktober2025 day 2: WEAVE.
Release the Epstein files! That is all.

Fired Natl Security Advisor John Bolton and “retired” WH atty. Ty Cobb found a sudden dose of honesty when discussing their ex boss.
Bolton deems him “unfit for office”.
Cobb says “We should be scared to death" by Trump's authoritarian action.

JUST finished sanding & prepping side steps for repainting, stopped in for a quick lunch break, and came back out to this apparent murder scene. No idea wtf could’ve caused this. A bird with severe digestive issues? 🤔

Well it’s about time! The Opulents have been so abashed lately (yes, this is a real cover). 🤮 #Hinsdale IL #HinsdaleLiving
