My wife Loes in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp, Belgium, 2024.
My firts post on Pixelfed must of course be a photograph of the two things a hold most dear in live, apart from my two lovely daughters, and those are: my wife Loes and the mother of all arts…architecture.
It is said that the mirror is the symbol of imagery or of awareness. The mirror has the ability to copy the visible reflections of the world in its own figural reality. Scheler and other philosophers associated mirrors with thought because it is a mental instrument that is the reflection of the universe and enables you to observe yourself. Frequently mirrors emerge in legends and fairytales, showing what happened in the past or what will happen in the future or what is happening now from a very far distance.
The mirror always tells the truth. Without need for the masks we people wear to protect ourselves, mirrors reflect only what they see. In a way mirrors are able to perceive the soul of ourselves, as well as of the people and things surrounding us, as they are without cover. This is partially due to the fact that what we see when we look into the mirror is actually not reality. Rather, the reflection in the mirror is an inverted version of the world we live in. Or is it the other way around?

#Biden calls for #termLimits on #SCOTUS under a system in which the sitting president would appoint a justice every 2 years for a fixed tern of 18 years.
He also wants a code of #ethics for justices to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity #upsideDown flag, and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their *spouses* have conflicts of interest #insurrection
Finally, he asks to reverse the #SupremeCourt’s immunity ruling on former presidents.

That iconic photo of #Trump sticking his neck out and raising his fist was posted by his son, #DonaldTrumpJr with the words "He'll never stop fighting to Save America 
"
Uncanny, that flag looks #UpsideDown from that angle

"Martha-Ann #Alito can be heard bemoaning a #WAPO-style reporter [critical of] her, and goes on to complain about #femnazis, who she says “believe (#Justice #Alito) should control” her
“So they’ll go to hell,” Martha-Ann Alito says in the recording. “He never controls me.”
So, the out-of-control #DeutscheDame controls a #SupremeCourtJustice and wants him to control OTHER women.
#SCOTUS #TwoTurds are obliging their wives at our expense.

>> Vengeful unrepentant wife of #SCOTUS #Justice Samuel #Alito wants to get back at US “who raised a controversy” over flying an #UpsideDown flag
This is classic #victimBlaming.
WE didn’t raise the controversy. #SamuelAlito household did.
While I thought #Justice Alito was horrible in throwing his wife under the bus, she surpassed him and threw ALL of us under the bus.
The USofA isn’t your household, you b*itch, and we aren’t your slaves (yet). So stop cracking the whip 
>> “Justice Alito’s wife vows revenge for flag controversy in secret recording’
Vengeful unrepentant wife of #SCOTUS #Justice Samuel #Alito wants to get back at US who raised a controversy after she and the justice were criticized last month for flying an #UpsideDown flag — a symbol of treachery against The #UnitedStates in the wake of #Jan6 #insurrection, while the #White wife of another, #GinniThomas gleefully fueled the insurrection.
Shut down this illegitimate Court

The most pivotal question about the #UpsideDown American #flag has yet to be fully answered: #MarthaAnnAlito’s motivation for flying it.
…The Alitos have not explicitly addressed whether the upside-down flag had a connection to #Jan6 or “Stop the Steal,” & Justice #Alito’s comments about his wife’s motivation for flying it have shifted.

Baden said…that…it was actually she who uttered the epithet, an acct corroborated by a neighbor who heard it.
#Alito told Fox that following the exchange his wife was “distraught” & raised the upside-down flag. A photo…showed the #flag flying on Jan 17, 2021.
The encounter between #MarthaAnnAlito, Baden & her boyfriend occurred a month AFTER the #UpsideDown flag was raised, acc/to a phone call placed to police that day. A VA govt spox confirmed that call was on Feb 15, 2021.

#Alito has yet to fully explain some key aspects of the controversy: How long did an #UpsideDown American #flag fly at the Alitos’ Virginia home? Where did they get the “#AppealToHeaven” flag that flew at their New Jersey beach house? And more. Here are the major discrepancies in Alito’s telling & what he still has not fully answered. Neither he nor his wife, #MarthaAnnAlito, responded to a request for comment.

>> #Durbin’s defeatist attitude in statement above— “I don’t think there’s much to be gained with a hearing at this point [regarding #Alito]”— is emblematic of the fatalism in the #DemocraticParty from the TOP-down.
Durbin and #Democratic Party leadership (including #Biden) MUST wake up and give this #UpsideDown flag issue the serious attention it deserves.

Interesting intersection of #Iran and #US events
ANOTHER #insurrectionBrewing in US.
Prominent #Trump supporters Marjorie Taylor #Greene & Michael #Flynn posted pictures of #upsideDown flags on social media.
By Friday, pro-Trump accounts were awash with images of inverted flags hanging on porches and lawns across the country. The #HeritageFoundation, a conservative think tank, posted an image appearing to show the flag hanging upside down above its DC headquarters
