The newly-passed PACT Act includes almost $300 billion in new financial benefits for veterans suffering from illnesses caused by burn pit smoke in Iraq and Afghanistan, Agent Orange spraying in Vietnam, and several other military toxic exposure events. It also contains provisions known the “Camp Lejeune Justice Act,” which allows civil suits against the government... Continue Reading →
MAGA Masters
This is my concern...or another one of my concerns. If a Trump-appointed judge can install a Special Master to go over every single document the FBI seized from Trump's bedbug-ridden country club (MAGA-Lard-O is it?) to decide what the Justice Department can and can't use as evidence (mostly can't here), then who will she pick?...

Special Master’s Master
A federal judge intervened yesterday in the case of Donald Trump stealing government documents, many of which are classified, and appointed an independent arbiter, known as a "Special Master," to review the over 11,000 documents to determine which should be deemed attorney/client privilege and executive privilege. On paper, this sounds fair. Golly gee wilikers, this... Continue Reading →
Trump and Tories
If our system to choose a president was like the United Kingdom's in selecting a prime minister, then in 2023, the Republicans would most likely install Trump as president if they retake the House this November. In the United States, the Republican Party consists of sycophants and Donald Trump chooses who will be the nominees... Continue Reading →
Sympathy for the Symphony
I blogged some roughs this morning, made a YouTube video of them being drawn, wrote this cartoon, then drew it, and now it's after 3 p.m. on a Sunday. So, I'm taking the rest of the day off which means you're not getting a real column in today's blog. However... I don't want to hear... Continue Reading →
Roughs, Volume 152
CNN Opinion didn't work me too hard week before last and I was only required to draw four roughs before they picked an idea. That actually gave me most of Friday off and I was able to go to a minor league baseball game. Go, FredNats. I seriously considered drawing this cartoon but shoved it... Continue Reading →
Fascists Pardons
Ya' know, for a bunch of fascists, they sure are whiny snowflake babies. President Biden called out MAGA fascists in a major primetime address from Liberty Hall in Philadelphia. Biden called out MAGA fascism as a threat to democracy and framed the midterm elections as a battle for the "soul of the nation." He's right.... Continue Reading →
Check For Cops
Columbus, Ohio cops shot and killed twenty-year-old Donovan Lewis, an unarmed Black man, this week during a nighttime raid while he was in bed. The police burst into Lewis' apartment with dogs to serve Lewis with arrest warrants on charges of domestic violence, assault, and improper handling of a firearm. In body-camera footage of Tuesday’s... Continue Reading →
Classified Crocodiles
Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know. You'll probably find alligators and not crocodiles at Mar-a-Lago, but there are some crocs in the most-southern part of Florida and they're moving north. Hopefully, they'll be hungry by the time they make it to Mar-a-Lago. When Donald Trump and his legal team requested a Special Master to be a third... Continue Reading →
Gorby and Pootie
When I was a kid, I accepted that the world was going to end in my lifetime through nuclear war. In a way, it was kinda like the kids today who have never lived in a world before 9/11. Until 1990, I had never lived in a world without the Cold War. It was part... Continue Reading →
