Der Charlottenburger Maler Ernst Fritsch (23. August 1892 - 8. Dezember 1965) erhielt 1933 ein Ausstellungsverbot.
1937 wurden mehrere seiner Werke beschlagnahmt und ein Großteil wahrscheinlich verbrannt.
Sein Grab findet sich auf dem Waldfriedhof Zehlendorf in Nikolassee.

Two terriers not been enough of a challenge for the past ten years, so the missus is suggesting we rescue another in the New Year, to make it a triumvirate of terror. Sounds legit 👌

Today I will be pondering upon John Piper, who came into this world 122 years ago today. A wonderful artist who saw the world through a unique perspective, one that I find captivating 🙂

The reform party nativity scene.

No unmarried mothers. No Middle Eastern people. No refugees. No people seeking emergency accommodation.

The Reform Christian Church:
Its patron saint is of course St. Judas Iscariot.

Let us pray: 🙏🏻
‘Our Nigel, which art in parliament,
Farage be thy Name;
Thy fascism come;
Thy will be done
in Dubai, as it is in Clacton.’

As for that Jesus bloke, he’s a bloody leftard.😤

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.
