Can Glenn Beck and the LDS do anything right, is also under the same cloud.

“Can a caucasian do anything right?”

Apparently, a Christian cross in a bucket of urine is not culturally clueless.

May God Bless “Jon McNaughton” and his family.

He does such powerful work, may it long be remembered and cherished.

I didn't know...

**....on McNaughton says, “Sean Hannity just purchased my painting “The Forgotten Man” to give to Donald Trump to hang in the White House.” I would imagine he did this to serve not only as a reminder to Donald Trump of the promises he made to the voters, but also remind any establishment politicians of their failure to acknowledge a large portion of America, and what happens when politicians put their own interests ahead of the forgotten men and women of this country.**

So, this is where I've seen the artist's work before.

I’ve never seen his painting directly.

I have seen them on the web for a long time. They are powerful.

If Hannity bought the painting, good. If he gave or loaned it to Trump. Good.

I doubt my faith is exactly the same as McNaughton, makes no difference.

Yes, such accurate mockery.

Love that one too.

All business?

His thoughts are deeper than his natural speech.

His delivery has certainly improved over past 10 months.

I say *bully good* for him. Compared to the art work of the radical far left....McNaughton is on the right track.

Originals [if you have deep pockets, like Hannity] or more economical lithos are available.

I think he *abbreviates* things ....stylistically, for the Rio Linda crowd, that is problematic.

Perhaps he is learning to slow things down when he speaks, as you point out.
