Love trumps hate, but Trump loves hate. While touring a disaster area created by a tornado in Alabama, Donald Trump signed bibles. He's never read the Bible. He wouldn't understand the Bible. But he signed them anyway. The book Trump should be signing is Mein Kampf by Adolph Hitler. I'm sure Trump has never read... Continue Reading →
Black Prop
Michael Cohen claimed during his congressional testimony last week that Donald Trump is a racist and he's heard him make racist comments over the years, including, "that black people would never vote for him because they were too stupid." Congressman Mark Meadows, a Republican on the House Oversight Committee, was expecting this and had a... Continue Reading →
MAGA Tolerance
Put on your thinking caps, kids, because it's quiz day. Yay, quiz day! For a change, this is going to make all the sense in the world to knuckle-dragging, non-book-reading, factually-challenged, science-denying, secretly fantasizing about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, troglodyte MAGA shitheads, but for the people who are higher educated, intellectual, and literate, ya'll are going to...

Ugly Sweater Day
It's getting harder and harder to create satire when reality gives us an orange face president, blackface governors, and blackface sweaters. Seriously. Gucci, a swanky and snooty overpriced fashion company released a turtleneck black wool balaclava sweater that resembled...I'm not making this shit up...blackface. If you're like me, your first question is, what the hell... Continue Reading →
A Virginia Lineup
What the hell, Virginia? When did we become Mississippi? No offense, Mississippi, but yeah. Every southern state has an ugly history when it comes to racism. There are still people in the south fighting the Civil War. My former editor of The Free Lance-Star, Ed Jones (no relation) used to tell a joke that here... Continue Reading →
Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid
I learned something yesterday during Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's press conference. It's very hard to get shoe polish off your face. Of course, why would I have known that? I've never felt the inspiration to put shoe polish on my face. I know that if you draw a mustache on someone's face with a Sharpie,... Continue Reading →
Governor Blackface
One of the biggest criticisms Ralph Northam received while running for the governorship of Virginia was that he's too boring. Problem solved. Perhaps he should have been a little more boring during his med school days. Late Friday afternoon, a photo emerged from a 1984 medical school yearbook that shows a man in blackface and...

DIY Racist Political Cartoon
As soon as Elizabeth Warren's name is mentioned, somewhere a political cartoonist starts drawing her with a tom-tom, tomahawk, smoke signal, war paint, etc. I'm surprised I haven't seen one of her campaign HQ being a teepee (there's a free one for ya', boys). Don't believe me? Do a Google image search for "Elizabeth Warren... Continue Reading →
Mississippi White Vote
Once upon a time in Mississippi, general elections were mere formalities. If you won your party's primary, you won the election. That is if your party was the Democratic Party. My career started in Mississippi and I lived there from 1990 to 1997. Once, I was present when some Democrats were on trial for something... Continue Reading →
Mr. Haterworth
Donald Trump has an issue with black women. He's said time and time again that Representative Maxine Waters has a low IQ, he's feuded with a Gold Star mother who is black and the black congresswoman who defended her, Frederica Wilson. He claimed Stacey Abrams was "unqualified" to be governor of Georgia, despite the fact... Continue Reading →
