Game On
Every painting in Chronicle of an Unquiet Age documents the defining events, people, and issues that shaped its moment in history.

January 2024 quickly makes clear that the contest ahead will be fought without pause. Early primaries, legal maneuvering, fundraising battles, polling shifts, and nonstop media coverage signaled that the race for power had fully accelerated and the Time Has Come. Game On captures the atmosphere of competition as the election year moved from anticipation into active combat. The number one issue in the election is immigration and border security. Will the it be Biden VS Trump in a rematch? Many voters are asking who is Niki Haley really? Rino, Neocon, Globalist, Democrat and why are so many Democrats voting for her? And who is buying these votes? Trump accuser E. Jean Carrol is financially backed for her legal fees by Epstein friend and Democrat donor Reid Hoffman. Know who else is backed by Reid? Niki Haley. Hunter Biden's "Sugar Brother" Kevin Morris testifies before Congress and claims "he's just helping a friend." Fani Willis and her lover Nathan Wade are still in trouble and the drama could get the Trump case disnmissed. The Supreme Court rules for the Biden Administration and Texas must remove razor wire from the Southern Border. Question is why did Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts vote for open border invasion. The Why is everything. Texas Gvernor Abbott goes "Negan " and declares he will not comply. Don't mess with Texas as many Texans are flying the American flag upside down as a signal of "Danger or Distress to Life or Property." and it looks like it is true. Nancy Pelosi and the January 6 Committiee are in trouble as the GOP finds 100 encrypted deleted files as Trump declares the "deleted files exonerate him completely.." Trump wins New Hampshire as Ron Desantis drops out and endoesses Trump. A New York jury awards E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in the defamation case and Trump vows to appeal. Game On is direct and deliberate. The painting preserves a moment when rivals, supporters, and opponents alike understood that the long buildup was over, the stakes were rising, and the real contest had begun.
