The Truth Unfolds
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.
TRTA-2025-132 | December 2025 | Oil on Canvas | 32" x 26"
December 2025 closes with a growing sense that narratives long defended were beginning to weaken under scrutiny. Investigations, document releases, testimony, policy outcomes, and the cumulative weight of the year’s events created an atmosphere in which facts were harder to contain or dismiss.
The Truth Unfolds captures that final movement toward revelation. December 28th Trump meets with Zelenskyy at Mar A Lago to discuss endgame to the Russia/Ukraine war. Talks include issues over territory, ceasefire terms and final approvals. Then on December 29th Trump meets with Netanyahu to discuss developments in Gaza and Iran. Netanyahu announces Isreal is awarding Trump "The Isreal Prize" the country's highest cultural honor and has not been won by a non-Isreali citizen in 80 years. Is Mar A Lago the new "Camp David?" Trump is still building that "Big Beautiful Ballroom!" Trump launches airstrikes in Nigeria on Christmas night targeting ISIS militants killing Christians. U.S.. siezes oil tankers off the coast of Venezuela. Iran protesters are chanting "This is the year of Blood and the Regime of Ali Khomenei the Butcher will fall." Jack Smith's connection to "Russia Collusion" is exposed as he is accused of witness tampering, planting evidence at Mar A Lago and malicious prosecution. AG Pam Bondi moves to launch a secret grand jury targeting Obama and Clinton claiming Obama manufactured and politicized intel with Hillary and with the help of then FBI Director James Comey. Muslim Democrat Socialist Mayor of NYC Zoran Mandami is sworn into office on the Quran taking the oath of office at the stroke of Midnight January 1st.
Fear is now bubbling up that Mandami will transform NYC into an Islamic Mecca. House Oversight subpoenas Tim Walz and Keith Ellison t0 testify under oath in February. What did they know and when did they know it? Fraud abounds in Minnesota. Nick Shirley an independent journalist has been instrumental in exposing the rampant fraud and now is receiving death threats that he will be "Kirked" referring to Charlie Kirk's murder. America is tired of these "Gimmiegrants."Gimmie free heathcare Gimmie free housing.
These Somali gimmiegrants did not come up with this fraud schemes all on their own... they had help and soon it could be revealed who also profited in government positions to facilitaate these schemes.
Marjorie Taylor Green announces she will resign from Congress and her last day will be January 6, 2026. and yes, she will receive her full retirement benefits. The year of the Snake is over. Just as the snake represents shedding his skin for growth it is hoped this year was a shedding of untruths, lies and deceit making way for better days in the future. The Truth Unfolds suggests a process rather than a single moment. Truth does not arrive all at once, but gradually through exposure, consequence, and time. The painting preserves the closing chapter of 2025 as a period when many Americans believed deeper realities were beginning to come into view.
