Trump Stops Art Ed For Afghans

How thoughtless of Fascist white supremacist Adolf Trump, to prevent Mrs. Stewart teaching Afghans about collective West modern toilet art. Rory may give up all and return to the Magic Roundabout.

I portrayed Rory Stewart several years back, 13 June 2018, for the UK Column News. After Trump’s ending of Rory’s wife’s USAID funding, I couldn’t resist and Florence of Arabia is back.

Rory Stewart is mentioned in 2018 at 21 mins in…

My artwork is featured at 46 mins in about a different issue.

For those not in the know, Florence of Arabia’s UK Column nickname derives from an English childhood TV programme and a character called Florence.

I’d included Marcel Duchamp’s toilet ‘art piece’ in my last Substack post artwork before I’d seen this…
‘@RoryStewartUK upset that Turquoise Mountain his wife runs will no longer get the million dollars from the US taxpayers. What exactly does Turquoise Mountain do anyway??’

Why is the US taxpayer funding Mrs. Stewart to the tune of £million+ to teach Afgan’s collective West modern art? That Rory Stewart is so out of touch with the common man that he complains about it in public, highlights more than he perhaps appreciates.

This ‘out of touch’ mentality is not restricted to Rory Stewart. Currently, the BBC and UK government have their knickers well and truly in a twist about Trump-Putin-peace and the wrong political party gaining traction in democratic elections. ‘Far-right, far-right, far-right’ has become a familiar mantra of the BBC.
Far-right AfD surge is warning for Germany's other parties, says winner Merz

I saw a note on Twitter X:
New chancellor Friedrich Merz
Ex Chairman of Blackrock Germany.
Dedicated to deeper EU integration.
Regular attendee WEF in Davos.
Attended Bilderberg Group meetings.
Advocated for digital ID in Germany.
Do you remember those corporate villains in dystopian movies?
Thank goodness Merz isn’t far-right, eh?!

I always seem to have one I did earlier…

Changing tack, but keeping in mind Trump’s buddy Elon Musk and his apparent use of AI to scan and analyse USAID funding, I noted Dr. Jay Couey make comment on AI.

33 mins in Couey says…
‘Machine learning. We shouldn’t call it Artificial Intelligence. That’s so stupid. A machine learning algorithm to sort out patterns.’

Perhaps AI is not destined to take charge of all our lives after all.

To finish, those forgotten artworks I only re-discovered by searching the UK Column 13 June 2018.

Hello the Hofschröer case and Alex Thomson!

As they say about jokes in England, you had to be there.
