Hurricane Hilary is headed for Mexico and the west coast and expectations are that California, along with parts of Arizona and Nevada, will receive a year’s worth of rain in a day. Isn’t that the thing about California? It either receives too much rain or not enough and when it does get the perfect balance, the state gets hit with an earthquake. Still, I’d rather live there than in Texas.
Hilary has weakened from a category 4 to a category 3 and will probably be a tropical storm by the time it hits the United States, coming up through Baja California (in case you’re a Republican, that’s in Mexico). This will be the first tropical storm to hit California since 1939 (in case you’re a Republican, back when America was great).
I kinda half expect Trump and MAGAts to confuse Hilary with Hillary, and claim, again, that we have a two-tiered system of justice, never mind the fact that Donald Trump earned each and every one of his 91 criminal charges. You can’t steal classified documents, obstruct justice, try to illegally overturn an election you lost, start a white nationalist insurrection, then claim the system is politicized against you.
You can hashtag “Biden Crime Family” for the rest of your life, but it doesn’t change the fact that nobody in that family has an indictment, at least not yet.
Here’s hoping for less bad weather for the west coast, Maui, Canada, and more Stormy weather for Donald Trump.
On another note, one of my best friend’s name is Hilary. In fact, she’s one of the proofers of the cartoons (not the blog). Hilary went with me to a Trump rally in 2016 and told me not to use her name while we were there. You may think that’s a little silly that a Republican would hear the name “Hilary” and get weird about it, but Hilary was right. She was the editor for the letters-to-the-editor at the paper where we worked, and when some right-wing letter writers would see her name, they’d accuse her of using a liberal bias in editing their letters because of her first name. Immature and stupid, yes? To this day, Republicans still try to insult me by calling me “Clay Aiken.”
Many years ago when Hilary’s daughters were itty bitty tiny things (they’re adults now and I’m old), one of them, Lindsey, visited our office right when I was doing a cartoon on Hillary Clinton and informed me that I had misspelled “Hilary.” Hilary’s daughters could read at a very early age. I expect some readers to inform me that I have a typo in today’s cartoon.
Trump Indictment Tour note: I’m flying to Atlanta this Wednesday for what may be the last left of the Trump indictment tour (I hear Arizona might do something, but that won’t be anytime soon). I’m flying out of Baltimore very early which means I’m taking the train Tuesday afternoon and will spend the night there. I appreciate all the financial support for these trips and again, all supporters will get the password for the secret Atlanta diary.
Music note: I listened to The Black Keys and Kings of Leon.
