Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
President Bill Clinton hugged and consoled survivors of the terrorist attack in Oklahoma City. President George W. Bush put his arm around the shoulders of people digging for survivors and bodies in the rubble of the World Trade Center. President Barack Obama sang Amazing Grace at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Donald Trump went to... Continue Reading →
Donald Trump issued a statement denouncing hatred and white supremacy in a prepared speech written by someone else who is probably not Stephen Miller. Trump said, "In one voice, our nation must renounce, racism, bigotry, and white supremacy." In other news, David Duke is now celebrating Kwanza. Donald Trump denouncing white supremacy would be like... Continue Reading →
One of my Trump cultist troglodyte Facebook friends (this one's not related to me) who is really big about defending racists, deflection, and false equivalency posted yesterday about Democrats politicizing mass shootings. How dare politicians try to create legislation that'll stop murders. What do they think we sent them to Washington for anyway? To be... Continue Reading →

I thought, if that violates your standards then you need to reevaluate your standards. I submitted it for a review and Facebook unblocked and apologized for the ban. What I suspect happened was, a Trump... Continue Reading →

The Republican Party has been exercising racism for decades, but until now, there were always people like Will Hurd among its members, other than the black thing of course. For example, before Donald Trump came along, you could easily get a hell of a lot more than four votes from Republicans in the House of... Continue Reading →
Trump's pick to be the new director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe, has multiple embellishments on his resumé. He claims on his website and in campaign material that he tried suspects accused of funneling money to Hamas. As it turns out, that's not true. He never prosecuted a case in the matter. He was an...

The United States is facing a new threat that the new Director of National Intelligence needs to identify, and that threat is the new Director of National Intelligence. Donald Trump likes to use the phrase, "I never was a fan of..." in regards to some person or some thing. Like, "I never was a big... Continue Reading →
