All-star American basketball star Brittney Griner has been in a Russian prison for over 140 days despite the fact she's not a criminal. And despite the fact she's not a criminal, she pleaded guilty this week and admitted wrongdoing in packing smoking cartridges in her luggage that contained less than a single gram of hashish...

Roughs, Volume 144
Despite taking a week off from the CNN Opinion newsletter last week for the holiday, I still produced a few roughs. There's a newspaper guy in Ohio who used to be an editorial page editor in Mississippi who subscribed to my self-syndication back in the mid-90s. When I lived in Mississippi, I self-syndicated to papers... Continue Reading →
Shinzo
Japan is in shock over the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. He was a towering figure in the nation having served as Prime Minister twice, stepping down both times for health reasons. He was shot while campaigning for the Liberal Democratic Party, which is actually the conservative party of Japan that consists of... Continue Reading →
Made Possible By The GOP
Part of the Supreme Court majority's argument in overturning Roe v. Wade was that this nation needs more children available for adoption.

Thems The Breaks
In a column in today's Guardian, Gaby Hinsleff writes that England's Conservative Party "owes this country a groveling apology." She writes "It should hang its head in shame for foisting on us a man so wholly unfit for office that he had to be dragged from it kicking and screaming and threatening to burn everything...

Well Ain’t That America…
When I grew up, Chevrolet had an advertisement that America was "baseball, hotdogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet." It was catchy and it worked. America is all of those things and much more...like racism, oppression, inequality, an economic system of the haves and have-nots...and mass shootings. The gun massacre at Highland Park yesterday during a Fourth... Continue Reading →
Fear For Your Life In Akron
Eight cops in Akron, Ohio shot a 25-year-old unarmed black man last week...60 times. That is not a typo. They shot the young man SIXTY FUCKING TIMES. We may find out later the number is greater than 60. Jayland Walker fled from the police during a routine traffic stop. He drove away, then abandoned his... Continue Reading →
Wreck-It Rudy
I'm using a little creative license here because Donald Trump is not paying legal fees for people called to testify before the January 6 Committee investigating his coup attempt. Hell, Donald Trump doesn't pay for his own lawyers. Ask Rudy. Donald Trump is not paying for witnesses' lawyers, but his political action committee and goon... Continue Reading →
Roughs, Volume 143
Ding-dong! New roughs are here. These were all drawn on June 23 and 24...I think. I did something else on Rinos and after it was published, I kinda wished that I had drawn this one. Someone commented on the published cartoon that I should have done something with Eric and Don Jr hunting rinos. I... Continue Reading →
