Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
Hillary Clinton doesn't have to do anything newsworthy for Republicans to obsess over her. They haven't stopped talking about her on a daily basis since 2016. Donald Trump's not over her and continues to tweet and talk about her at his hate rallies. Last week, I saw at least three cartoons by Republican political cartoonists,... Continue Reading →
Baltimore congressman Elijah Cummings was more gracious, generous, and better than most. There's no better example of that than his friendship with Republican and staunch Trump defender Mark Meadows, who sat on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which Cummings chaired. Earlier this year after Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib implied Meadows committed a racist act,... Continue Reading →
Here are several roughs I pitched for last week's CNN Opinion newsletter. A few later grew up to become real live cartoons. This is the cartoon we went with which was also the last I pitched. I started on Thursday afternoon and this was sent early Friday afternoon. I think we picked the right one.... Continue Reading →
Maybe I'm just naive and don't understand diplomacy or foreign policy, but it seems to me if you're going to have a successful ceasefire, then both sides have to agree on the definition of "ceasefire." Donald Trump, the self-described "stable genius" and "great negotiator" with "unmatched wisdom," sent sycophant Mike One and sycophant Mike Two... Continue Reading →
Out of the multiple times I shouted at the TV yesterday during acting-chief-of-staff Mick Mulvaney's disaster of a press briefing yesterday was when he was answering a question about the House investigating Trump awarding the next G7 summit to himself. He said they were expecting the House to look into it because this administration has... Continue Reading →
Warren Harding was not a good president. Even during his term, he was regarded as a failed president and that perception remains with today's historians who rank him among the worst. His administration was visionless, ineffectual and corrupt. He slashed immigration quotas, appointed his cronies, one of whom accepted bribes from oil companies in what... Continue Reading →
Washington, D.C. has not sent a baseball team to the World Series since 1933 (which they lost). In fact, the city was without a baseball team from 1971 to 2005 because their team, the Washington Senators, fled to Texas to become the Rangers. The Washington team that went to the series in 1933, also named... Continue Reading →
Nobody liked the idea of John Bolton as Trump's national security adviser. Bolton, a longtime war hawk who has publicly endorsed starting a war with every nation hostile to the United States, was now in an influential position close to a president who could be influenced by the slightest flattery. "Wow! That was some insightful... Continue Reading →
It doesn't take a lot to receive Twitter attacks from the current president (sic) of the United States if you're a journalist on a national news network, but it's significant if that news personality is on Fox News, a.k.a., Trump TV. This may come as a shock to you but there are journalists at Fox... Continue Reading →
More impeachment stuff for last week's CNN Opinion newsletter. I think I only sent about ten cartoons. Funny thing. After the fifth cartoon, my editor quit for the night and said we'd decide the next morning. He thought the five were really good and we should pick from those. I kept getting ideas and continued...
