House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in Normandy to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day. She was asked about comments Donald Trump made about her during the trip, and she replied, "I don’t talk...

And we thought it was bad that Trump doesn't understand tariffs, but once again, the dumbest president in the history of presidents of any nation in any galaxy, made a tweet that left the rest of saying, "What the hell? Donald Trump took to Twitter and scolded NASA for focusing on returning to the moon... Continue Reading →
Straight Pride Parade
If you're straight, you did not have to break the news to your father. You were not ostracized by your family. You never had to hide your straightness in a closet. You were never discriminated against in your school, job, or elsewhere for being straight. You were never beat up for being straight (just for... Continue Reading →
The Do-Nothings
Former Broward County sheriff's deputy Scot Peterson was arrested and charged yesterday with 11 charges of neglect of a child, culpable negligence and perjury. Why? Because he sat outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in relative safety while a 19-year-old gunman killed 17 and injured 17 others. An investigation by the Florida Department of Law...

Race With Jared
In 2009, New York Post political cartoonist Sean Delonas drew a cartoon that made Vanity Fair write that he may be the "worst political cartoonist on the planet."

He's given, no pun intended, the royal treatment because foreign leaders understand his fragile ego soaks it up and it makes it easier for... Continue Reading →
Avocado Boom Boom
I give my conservative cartooning colleagues a lot of crap over their devotion to Trump, producing cartoons that are based on fear, hate, propaganda and conspiracy theories while being totally devoid of facts. Mostly, I give them hell for abandoning principles they held decades before Trumpism, such as patriotism, law and order, family values, democracy... Continue Reading →

The new normal is that it was not "unreasonable" to ask the Navy to hide a ship with the name "John McCain" on it in order to avoid offending a thin-skinned Trump and... Continue Reading →
An Offensive View
Today is my birthday. My birthday gift to you is a cartoon that my girlfriend, who patiently allowed me to do some work today, says is going to get me into trouble. Amanda took me out last night to a craft beer place here in Woodbridge. Minutes after sitting down, she pointed at the TV... Continue Reading →
Freedom Gas
And you thought "Freedom Fries" was ridiculous. Back when we invaded Iraq and France thought it was a bad idea, conservatives initiated an I-Hate-France-And-All-Things-French campaign, forgetting that without France, we wouldn't have won the American Revolution against our English overlords. I never heard the term "frog" for the French until the Iraq war. Maybe I... Continue Reading →
