Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
This cartoon first ran Friday, August 31, 2018, in The Costa Rica Star. What is it with strongman-type leaders, dictators, and dictator wannabes that they feel they can force their will on people who don't have to bend to their demands? Daniel Ortega, the president of Nicaragua whose wife is vice president, is demanding Costa... Continue Reading →
I honestly thought the identity of "Anonymous," the White House staffer who wrote an op-ed published by The New York Times Wednesday night, would have been discovered by noon on Thursday, and by 6:00 P.M., there would have been a very public firing. But, I forgot who we're dealing with here? Donald Trump finding Mr.... Continue Reading →
Brett Kavanaugh should not be confirmed for the Supreme Court, where Trump's last nominee, Neil Gorsuch also shouldn't be currently sitting for the rest of his life. The Republicans stole an appointment from President Barack Obama. They wouldn't even let his nominee, Merrick Garland, a man they had previously confirmed for a lower court, on... Continue Reading →
There are two things Republicans in Congress and Trump sycophants need to give up; the fantasy there is a "deep state" within and outside the government conspiring to destroy Donald Trump, and the fantasy that Trump is anything other than a narcissistic dysfunctional human being with the intellect of a toddler who has any grasp...

This Thursday is the start of the NFL's regular season, but as we all know, racism doesn't have an off-season. The Republican gubernatorial candidate in Florida said voting for his black opponent will be "monkeying" it up. There are racist robocalls in Florida targeting those like-minded with a "we the Negroes" theme. The president of... Continue Reading →
If you're ostracized, blacklisted, shut out, and generally just avoided and uninvited by anyone with the least modicum of decency, maybe the issue isn't with them but with you. At what point do you ask yourself, "am I really that unpleasant of a person?" Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, but it's when everyone who... Continue Reading →
This cartoon was first published August 24, 2018, in The Costa Rica Star. There were several protests in Costa Rica by white nationalists and even a few Neo-Nazis protesting against refugees coming to their country to escape the violence in Nicaragua. Most people in Costa Rica are welcoming the refugees and trying to help them.... Continue Reading →
The FBI arrested a 68-year-old man in Encino, California Thursday for making repeated threats against The Boston Globe, which included the catchphrase "enemies of the American people." Where have we heard that phrase before? It's one of Donald Trump's favorites which he uses against news outlets that print information he considers critical of him, like... Continue Reading →
