James    Newt Gingrich is not only one of the best-known and respected speakers of the U.S. House of Representatives, he’s also a noted historian and longtime friend of The Heritage Foundation. At a time when the nation is deeply divided and many Americans seem willing to throw away our future to politicians promising a socialist utopia, he has come up with a truly exceptional idea. It’s a plan for rekindling a deep sense of patriotism in the American people, for creating a profoundly unifying understanding of their shared history, and for helping them to realize how truly blessed they are to have inherited the most successful experiment in self-government the world has ever seen.

For nearly two decades, she has produced what is often called “warrior art” on antique ledger paper in her studio north of Santa Fe. ...................... Purdy was one of many artists shuttered when the Santa Fe Indian Market closed during the pandemic. She often injects a note of humor into her work, knitting together traditional imagery with contemporary forms, always immersed in her Native American heritage. Traces of Pop artist Peter Max and the psychedelic poster movement influence her work, as well as the Art Deco movement and Japanese textiles.
