About one of the Trump accusers in this piece:

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Eight Democratic/Dem-adjacent senators, in an act of breathtaking canniblisim - and enabled by doormat Chuck Schumer -have essentially thrown Tuesday's victorious election results under the bus.

A Headless Ancient Sculpture Just Turned Up in the Trash in Greece A headless and armless small marble Greek sculpture from the Hellenistic period turned up in the trash in Thessaloniki.

I have a fascination with all the historic art that ends up in thrift shops, the trash, or unidentified in old attics. There's so much of it, endless news stories, and I've never kept a list. I'm starting today: news.artnet.com/art-world/he...
