Donald Trump plans to make his horrible selection for the Supreme Court either today or tomorrow. Because he takes the responsibility of a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the last about as seriously as he takes firing Gary Busey, he plans to make the announcement Monday during prime time. Staunch conservatives are bickering... Continue Reading →
I find today very ironic and hypocritical. We celebrate a holiday that commemorates our freedom and Independence while our nation separates families, throws children in detention centers, and holds them hostage for the parents to choose between their legal rights to seek asylum or being reunited. I'm a glass-is-a-little-less-than-half-empty kind of person. It's really hard... Continue Reading →
If I was a sycophant and worshiped a leader, then at the very least that leader should possess a mind like a steel trap, and he wouldn't be anyone's fool. But then again, I'm not a sycophant because sycophants follow people like Donald Trump who can be bamboozled by a prank phone call perpetuated by... Continue Reading →
LeBron watch is over and King James is headed for Los Angeles. Of course, he's not going to the Clippers. LeBron James is a divisive figure, even though he's never done anything bad other than win games, fail to win other games, and exercise his options in free agency. We could point at his politics,...

This cartoon was published June 22, 2018, in The Costa Rica Star. There's a huge crisis happening in Nicaragua, a nation that borders Costa Rica. There is not a civil war going on, but a civic uprising where the president's goons have killed more people than the dictator has in Venezuela. The protests started over... Continue Reading →
I looked up pictures of anatomically correct dolls that are used for victims of child abuse to identify where their attackers touched them. I immediately regretted it. Can you think of anything more horrifying for a child to be put through after the experience of being abused? What probably comes close is being ripped apart... Continue Reading →
Journalists are used to taking hits. Politicians left and right, have always argued and fought with news organizations. There were bumper stickers decades ago that read, "Annoy the media. Vote Republican." The media even comes in with lower approval ratings than Congress. Most ordinary people have issues with their local newspapers, and you probably know... Continue Reading →
The stealing of a Supreme Court appointment from President Barack Obama should not have been allowed to happen, because Republicans are hypocrites and liars. Within the first 24 hours after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he wouldn't allow a confirmation process for any Obama appointment. He kept the...

We've been so consumed with Donald Trump's racism toward Hispanics that we almost forgot his hatred toward Muslims. Yesterday, the Supreme Court, in another infamous 5-4 ruling, gave a victory to Trump's travel ban on people from specific Muslim nations. In doing so, they chose to ignore Trump's own words about banning Muslims. During his... Continue Reading →
Sometimes an angry conservative reader will tell me that I'm adding to the discourse in American politics and society. My response to that is always, yep. It's what political cartoonists do, even the ones you agree with. It's not new. Thomas Nast did it back in the 1800s. But we don't create it. We're just... Continue Reading →
