#TodaysBeauty is one of the angels (specifically, the Angel With the Sudarium) on Bernini's Bridge of Angels in Rome. With a companion. Taken December 2019.

Back in 2017, he was particularly associated with the white-supremacist Rise Above Movement. Here he is doing a video with them, talking about the white-supremacist credo "the 14 Words."

Why, who should turn up at the most recent meeting of the North Idaho College Board of Trustees--currently in the hands of a far-right cadré--to voice his support for the board's demolition of the college's academic standing, but nationally prominent white supremacist Vincent James Foxx, who now runs his Red Elephants propaganda operation out of Post Falls these days.

This is what an insurrectionist movement looks like. Steve Bannon at TPUSA's America Fest 2022: 'Are we at war? Are you prepared to take this to the ultimate conclusion?' Later: 'Impeachment is too good for Joe Biden!' 'All these traitors must go to prison!'

Also, you are a demonic blood-sucking pedophilic groomer.'

I'm not sure if there's a deeper relevance to this fact, but Joe Biggs, Enrique Tarrio, and Ethan Nordean -- who are all on trial now for seditionist conspiracy in the Jan. 6 insurrection -- were also all present at the Proud Boys march in Portland on Aug. 17, 2019.
