Great American Reset
Every painting in Chronicle of an Unquiet Age documents the defining events, people, and issues that shaped its moment in history. Created in real time as events unfolded, each work serves as both an original oil painting and a historical record, reflecting the belief that the news of today is the history of tomorrow.

April 2025, the themes introduced at the start of the year had taken firmer shape. Structural reforms, executive action, economic repositioning, and renewed arguments over national identity all fed the sense that the country was being remade in real time. Great American Reset directly echoes the larger yearly theme of The Great Reset 2025. We are also seeing "The Trump Effect" in real time. The Trump Administration is resetting the table for America. Many Chinese ports are now closed and containers are piling up. No ships are leaving China as Xi and the Chinese cannot rerplace the U.S. Market. Trump orders full audits of all members of Congress to see who's stealing from the U.S. Lawfare is boomeranging as Leticia James is referred to the DOJ for Mortage Fraud. James faces 30 years in Prison and $1 million in fines. "No one is above the law." "Crossfire Hurricane" is declassified and released to the public. Hillary, Obama and Biden and others spied on Trump and fabricated the Russia Collusion. Globalism is in collapse. WEF founder
Klas Schwab resigns after 50 years. Abrego Garcia known MS-13 gang banger, human trafficer and wife abuser as President Bukele says we will not return Garcia as he is an El Salvadorian citizen.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen travels to El Salvador to meet with the now "Maryland Man" Garcia and seeks his release on taxpayers dime. Calls for Van Hollen to be charged with "assisting a foreign terrorist organization." Zelenskyy demands Trump visit Ukraine before peace talks with Russia can begin. No! Would be assassin Ryan Routh pursued buying a rocket launcher from Ukraine to take out Air Force One. Wonder who his contact was? 17 year old Karmelo Anthony admitted murderer of Austin Metcalf in Texas claims self defense and has raised $400,000 online. He will be tried as an adult and face life in prison. Dems hit rock bottom as they choose illegals, murderers and gang bangers over U.S. citizens. Pope Francis passes away at 88 years old and the Vatican prepares for 9 days of morning and Conclave to select a new Pope. RIP.
Great American Reset is both slogan and statement. Whether praised as restoration or criticized as disruption, the painting preserves a moment when many Americans believed the old order was being challenged and a new one was emerging.
