ART / PAINTING / AKIANE
The artist Akiane Kramarik, as a CHILD artist, made a portrait painting of Jesus that many consider to be the most accurate portrayal of Christ ever done.
Various kinds of prints are available of this painting from her website. If I had the money, I would buy hundreds of these, and plaster them all over my house, and give them away as gifts.
She is an amazing artist, taught directly by God and the angels....no joke.
Her website: Akiane Gallery

MUSIC / ROCK / THE TALKING HEADS
I give you one of the greatest LIVE performances ever caught on film. David Byrne and The Talking Heads perform their iconic 80's song "Life During Wartime". This clip is from their full length movie entitled "STOP MAKING SENSE", one of my all time favorites.
Can't tell you have many times I've listened to this song, as I never get tired of it.

CURRENT EVENTS / DEUTSCHE BANK / JEFFREY EPSTEIN
Just saw this news story in the NY Post:
Deutsche Bank has agreed to pay $75 million to settle a lawsuit claiming the bank played a key role in facilitating Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring.
An unnamed “Jane Doe” plaintiff in court documents filed the suit in New York in November on behalf of herself and other alleged victims of the convicted sex offender, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The Doe plaintiff alleged that Deutsche Bank did business with Epstein for five years, knowing that he was using his funds to support his abusive regime of girls and young women.
The suit said Deutsche “provided the most critical service for the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking organization to successfully rape, sexually assault and coercively sex traffic plaintiff Jane Doe” between 2003 and 2016.
She claimed to have been trafficked to Epstein’s friends as well, lured by Epstein’s “guise of being a wealthy philanthropist, able to provide them … cash money, advancement of careers, education or other life necessities.”
So basically everyone KNEW what Epstein was up to, and not only turned a blind eye, but actively supported his life-style....if you get my drift...
