Ever since I was a kid I’ve wondered what the hell happened to all those beautifully carved ancient statues with their noses, eyes and extremities chopped off. Then I studied the history of the Roman Empire and discovered the sad truth: it was the Christians that done it! Christianity did not grow from quiet proselytizing […]

Former NFL star, wife-beater and serial philanderer Herschel Walker is a perfect example of this strategy, but he is certainly not the only one. The Republican nominee for the US […]
Jan van Eyck’s THE ANNUNCIATION [1434-36] and the MERODE ALTARPIECE [1425-28] by Robert Campin [with the help of an unknown assistant] have many similarities in both subject and content, yet there are several other aspects of the paintings which are unique. The subject in both works is essentially the same: the Annunciation from the biblical […]

“President” Joe Biden’s measly ten thousand dollar student forgiveness program doesn’t go nearly far enough to actually fix the student debt crisis. It’s just another half-assed attempt by Our Rulers to appease the unwashed masses with the few “crumbs” that the Elite are willing to throw our way. One of the most important lessons I […]
