You can't win commenting on the current war between Israel and Hamas. If you criticize Hamas for being terrorists as they are, you'll be attacked for ignoring the brutal Apartheid-like treatment that Israel's government has been delivering to Palestinians. And if you do bring up Israel's treatment of Gaza and the West Bank, then you'll... Continue Reading →
Pumpkin Gag
Donald Trump was slapped with a SECOND gag order yesterday. This one was issued by federal Judge Tanya Chutkan who is presiding over the trial for Trump's attempt to steal the 2020 election and insurrection attempt on January 6, 2021. Judge Chutak issued the order after Trump made repeated attacks against the prosecution, potential witnesses,... Continue Reading →
Baby Santos
Child Protective Services should be called on whoever the idiot is who allowed George Santos to hold his or her baby. That's bad parenting. It was already a wild and crazy week for the Republican House, but then we got an angry public screaming tirade from George Santos in one of the Congressional office buildings.... Continue Reading →
Republican Dummies
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion Newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday I drew a cartoon last week on Jim Gym Jordan vying to become Speaker of the House.

Rocks For Gym
Republicans are not serious about government in Congress and the proof of that is they have nominated Jim Gym Jordan to become Speaker of the House. Never mind that he can't get enough votes to become Speaker, but he's the designate at this time. Republicans, here's a free tip: don't nominate the guy who's the... Continue Reading →
Five Stars For Elon

Twitter was a great platform until Elon purchased it and started fucking things up. He started charging for the blue check mark which was originally for... Continue Reading →
Roughs, Volume 200
Holy crapolla! Can you believe we're at blog entry 200 for the roughs? Can you imagine just how many roughs that contain? It's about 2,400. I've been drawing roughs for my cartoons since 1990, but I was drawing less after I was laid off in 2012 because I didn't have to submit ideas for approval.... Continue Reading →
Swifting Through Gaza
I like Taylor Swift. I really do. I would like her as a person even if I didn't like her music, like Tim McGraw. He seems like a nice-enough dude and he's on the right side of the issues, but damn if I want to hear songs full of lazy tropes that pander to a... Continue Reading →
You Could Do Worse
Republicans have nominated Louisiana representative Steve Scalise to become the next Speaker of the House. Scalise is a typical Republican in today's world. He condemned the attack on the Capitol while refusing to admit Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He condemned Liz Cheney and helped oust her from GOP leadership for voting to impeach...

Hummus Attack
If you listen to Donald Trump, you might be fooled into believing that nobody knows more about anything on any subject than him. But you have to be a Kool-Aid-drinking MAGA cultist not to realize that Donald Trump doesn't know anything about anything better than anyone. In layman's terms, Donald Trump is a dumbass. Donald...
