It really shouldn't surprise anyone that Republicans are defending Brett Kavanaugh, Trump's Supreme Court nominee who is accused of sexual assault and attempted rape. They've already defended Nazis. Donald Trump says "Judge Kavanaugh is one of the finest people he's ever known," but Trump has known people like Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Stephen Miller, Roy... Continue Reading →
Bad Behavior Defense
Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein did not get the Hollywood red-carpet treatment when he entered a New York City courthouse to face charges of raping one woman and forcing another to perform oral sex. Instead, he entered wearing handcuffs. Three pairs in fact, because he's kind of a big guy. It was being a big guy... Continue Reading →
Skins Peddle Skin
This cartoon was published last Friday, May 4, in The Costa Rica Star. The Washington Redskins are disgusting. First off, they have a racist name. They totally suck. They let their star quarterback sign with Minnesota in free agency. Now, they're pimping their cheerleaders. You would think a scandal like this would have happened in... Continue Reading →
Schneiderman
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman resigned this week after four women accused him of physical abuse. The women say Schneiderman had repeatedly choked, hit or violently slapped them, all without their consent during his tenure as Attorney General. These women were romantic partners with the 63-year-old Schneiderman and the abuse often occurred in bed. Schneiderman... Continue Reading →
A Cosby Sweater
The man once revered as America's dad was convicted Thursday on three counts of sexual assault. The 7-man, 5-woman jury took less than two days to convict Bill Cosby for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand, a Temple University women’s basketball operations director who is three decades younger than the man who used to appear in...

Due Process
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 →
West Wing Beaters
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 →
Wife Beaters For Trump
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 →
Complicit Olympics
I've always been amazed at the harsh and inhumane treatment tyrannical nations will put their Olympic athletes through for medals. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and its Communist Bloc allies would put their athletes through hell. In addition to juicing their athletes with banned chemicals, athletes were stripped from their families at young... Continue Reading →
Ivanka’s Resistance
Ivanka Trump has such grace, such beauty, such poise. Why she could be a model...for nepotism. The only reason Ivanka is working as an unpaid adviser to the president is because her daddy is the president. And, as an unpaid adviser, she is worth every penny. Her presence in the White House was reasoned by... Continue Reading →
