Nationally Syndicated Editorial Cartoonist
As predictable as conservative political cartoonists drawing crying Uncle Sams after this week's school shooting in Parkland, Florida, Republicans tweeted out "thoughts and prayers." Thoughts and prayers are very nice. I'm not against thoughts and prayers. I am against only offering thoughts and prayers. Republicans are bad about offering thoughts and prayers while aiding a...

I'm too exasperated over this happening again and again to columnize about it today. What else is there to say about it anyway? You know the drill. Brown guy, we gotta change policy with something racist. White guy, thoughts and prayers. The thoughts-and-prayers people are totally thoughtless. Here's the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6m0lVlQ17o&t=123s I want to thank... Continue Reading →
During the presidential campaign, and repeated as a deflection from Trump corruption ever since, Republicans argued that Hillary Clinton wasn't fit to be president because she potentially exposed classified information on her email server. This week, the what-about-her-emails crowd has more complaints about the Obama portraits than the lackadaisical attitude Donald Trump has toward classified... Continue Reading →
Rachel Brand is not stupid. Brand is the Associate Attorney General and the third-ranking official in the Trump/Sessions Justice Department. That means, if Trump gets rid of Rod Rosenstein then Brand would take oversight of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. Dealing with the Special Counsel is one thing. Dealing with Donald Trump's public bullying,... Continue Reading →
No one expects Donald Trump to be a bleeding heart. The man doesn't possess a trace of compassion or empathy, at least not for those who need it. At this point, we should all give up on the guy being any sort of decent human. When it comes to violence against women, he doesn't care.... Continue Reading →
In a normal world where right-wing lunatics don't base their political beliefs upon ridiculous conspiracy theories, the Democrats in Congress wouldn't have to release a memo to counter the cherry-picked blatant partisan one put out by the GOP. The entire gist of the Republican memo is that the FBI broke rules and procedures by using... Continue Reading →
Earlier in the week, Deputy White House Press Secretary Raj Shah addressed comments made by Omarosa Manigault about the turmoil in the executive branch by saying, "Omarosa was fired three times on The Apprentice, and this is the fourth time we let her go." I am not defending Omarosa, who has gone from the West Wing... Continue Reading →
I have a confession to make and I'm not ashamed of it one bit. I hate the Neil Diamond song, Sweet Caroline. There is nothing more annoying than a room full of drunk people all shouting together "bom bom bom." Screw those people. As an immigration issue is red meat for racist Republican voters, Sweet...

Rob Porter is the staff secretary for the White House, a title that downplays the significance of the position. The staff secretary is really the assistant to the chief of staff, which makes him a gatekeeper to the Oval Office, who gets to see the president, and what information gets to the president. Porter even... Continue Reading →
Question: How in the hell can we hold a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to show the world the might of our armed forces when our military is depleted like Donald Trump claims Obama left it? Trump plans to increase military spending and reignite the Cold War by building up our nuclear arsenal. Apparently, nuclear... Continue Reading →
