Something completely different again: very first step for my next #portrait on a heptagonal, rigid carrier.
My second ‘heptagonal portrait’ is of Steven Crowder, the first was of Donald Trump.

Less politicians, more statesmen.
Short video with some quotes from the marvelous biography of the greatest statesman ever: Winston Churchill, by William Manchester and Paul Reid.
Concluding:
Nowadays civilization is threatened in a very different way but in my opinion also in an even more worrying and sinister way than 80 years ago.
Serious politicians should more frequently ask themselves: What Did Winston Do.

Very bad news and some good
The bad news is about the International Churchill Society, Zelensky and CO2 and the good news about Jordan B Peterson.

Thank you Google!
The short video speaks for itself.
Only after I made the video I noticed that this self declared 'best islam scholar ever' also mentions his mentor in the USA, after he had fled Turkey: a Mr. Khalifa. In my first book (Islamophobia?, 2011 - only available in Dutch) I dedicated a section, titled 19?, on page 119-120 to this guy. The number refers to the sacred number 19. Khalifa performed some numerology hocus-pocus on the Qur'an, with the result always being 19. For him the indisputable proof of the existence of god Allah and his inspiration for that famous book. Khalifa was murdered by members of the Fuqra sect.
It is a small world ...
My book showed below -IS, the Kurds and the Caliphate. (Turkey: from sick occupant to paranoid neighbor) is still available at Amazon. And can be acquired for a very low price! Tank you Amazon!

Once in a lifetime
Airplane landing at sunset: a spectacular show of sunlight, sea and canals.
I returned to the Netherlands by plane 11 times. Never before have I had such beautiful views during the landing. I am publishing this short video to draw attention to the photo and accompanying text that I published yesterday, about the great achievements of Dutch water management on the one hand and the madness of the Dutchman in the EU Commission, Frans Timmermans, on the other. He is the EU climate czar …

Rejoicing at Revelation horror

My father died a year before this church was demolished. A few years ago there was some kind of a contest in the Netherlands wherein this church was named as one of the most beautiful demolished buildings. My family regularly visited its rectory: she worked there and my parents met there during WW II.<br>\

Charles County and the mules
In 1963 and in 1991 parts of Charles County in Maryland USA, were very poor, I found out recently. In 2020 Joe Biden won with an amazing lead: much bigger than Clinton did in 2016. Most remarkable result: in this county Biden collected less than 9% of his votes on election day. How blue are these state and county? Or might one wonder how politically corrupt?

Bible reading: the Apex of Misogyny
Writing, reading and comments in Dutch, English subtitled.
Deliberately no English versions of the Old Testament were consulted for the literal quotes. I know, and probably you do too, that the differences are of minor importance.

My newest video is a short one (4:39) but is about a long text. The text has gotten some extra 'guidance' so to speak, through adding background colours.

Botanic behaviour: the Monstera Deliciosa
Only those who viewed a considerable number of videos from this Old Dutch Painter could have seen it coming: a video with observations and experiments with this special house plant, Monstera Deliciosa, especially its aerial roots.
And yes: its fruit is edible but you have to be careful!
To be honest I never had the privilege to eat one of those. However, I did enjoy the company of this house plant for over five years now.
