New Speaker of the House MAGA Mike Johnson has refused to attach aid to Ukraine to Aid to Israel, but he has attached cuts to the IRS. How does that work? Johnson said standing with Israel is a "more immediate need than IRS agents." But it's not about new IRS agents. Republicans have been barking... Continue Reading →
Bibi Draws A Crowd
Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said on CNN today that Hamas is a terrorist organization that lies, so we can't trust any "information" from them. He's absolutely right. We can't trust Hamas. They are indeed terrorists. Then Conricus said that the Jabalia refugee camp that the IDF bombed today and yesterday was... Continue Reading →
The Antisemitic Party
I've seen a lot of headlines, cartoons, and comments that protests on college campuses are pro-Hamas. But I think accusing everyone who protests in support of Palestinians of being pro-Hamas is bigoted. There are some protests with signs and chants using a poor choice of words. Some are guilty of bad timing and of being... Continue Reading →
Wrong Protest
There have been a lot of protests lately at universities across the country over the war in GAZA. Most appear to be in support of Palestinians and against what they call Israel's Apartheid-like treatment of Gaza. Republicans and even some headlines from right-wing outlets are accusing the students of supporting Hamas and terrorism. Republicans, the... Continue Reading →
The Jim Jordan Jim Jordan Investigation
I drew a lot of roughs yesterday and several of them were on Jim Gym Jordan and his attempt to become Speaker of the House. His run for the job was over in the afternoon thus eliminating every rough I had drawn on him from consideration. I'll go ahead and share those with you in... Continue Reading →
Selective Intelligence
Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan is taking a lot of heat for her support of Palestinians, but after all, she is a Palestinian American. Tlaib is against the United States supporting Israel's war effort against Hamas, not because she's supporting Hamas but because she doesn't like the way Israel's targets often include innocent civilians. I... Continue Reading →
The Return of Islamophobia
Muslims fear the islamophobia that ran rampant after September 11, 2001, has returned. Actually, it never really left. When a Muslim community center and mosque was proposed for a site that already contained a place for Muslim prayer in lower Manhattan in 2009, right-wingers went insane, dubbed it the "Ground Zero Mosque," and began a...

Death Potato, Death Potahto
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 →
Five Stars For Elon
Elon Musk doesn't understand free speech. He believes that the United States Constitution guarantees free speech on private platforms. It does not. Also, Twitter/X extends beyond the United States. 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 →
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 →
