There is a national teacher shortage in the United States and just because you're only hearing about it now doesn't mean it's new. Teachers have been leaving the profession for years, it was only exacerbated by COVID and the politicization from the GOP that followed. States and school districts are getting creative in handling the... Continue Reading →
Governor Crackers
I shouldn't have to write a long blog for you today since it's nearly 4 p.m. on a Sunday and all I've done since I woke up has been working on cartoons, videos, and other in-house stuff for my little syndication business, but since I wing these things anyway, let's see what happens. I've been... Continue Reading →
87,000 Conspiracy Theories
Sometimes I'm asked by people in the real world (like in person and not on social media), "why are you a liberal?". I'll also occasionally get, "Why can't you be conservative?". The reason I'm a liberal and I can't be a conservative is for several reasons. I don't think cruelty is funny. I have empathy.... Continue Reading →
Bibbidi Bobbidy Hamberder
Either Donald Trump is a dumbass and doesn't know how the president declassifies information, despite being president (sic), or he's lying. Obviously, it's both. He's a lying dumbass. There's a talking point among MAGAts that Donald Trump had a standing order while he was president (sic) that any document brought from the Oval Office to... Continue Reading →
Pence and the FB-Fly
For only the second time in his life, Mike Pence committed a noble act and called on his Republican Party to stop attacking the FBI. But I think Mike Pence forgets this is the same party that called for his hanging after he committed the first noble act of his life. When Mike Pence refused... Continue Reading →
Treasonous Squirrels
While I don't believe the raid on Mar-a-Lago was an intentional distraction, it can serve as one. Maybe that shitty thing will distract voters from all the other shitty things Republicans do. Maybe the revelation that Donald Trump is a traitor to this nation and only cares about himself...OK, a reminder that Donald Trump is... Continue Reading →
Trump Whine
So yesterday, another political cartoonist made a public post rhetorically asking who could have predicted there would be 100 toilet cartoons after the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, and then he praised himself saying it was he who made that prediction. He failed to mention he was one of the hundred who drew a Wizard of... Continue Reading →
Lessons From Kansas
Indiana lawmakers made sure not to do one thing last Friday when they banned most abortions in their yee-haw state. They made sure not to let their citizens vote on it. It's a lesson they learned from Kansas. Indiana is the first state to create new limits on abortions after the Supreme Court overruled its... Continue Reading →
Primarying Democracy
It's always a mixed bag from my readers anytime I criticize Democrats. Some will agree with me, most won't, and even more will just stay silent. I don't get a lot of shares on social media when I hit Democrats. And then Trumpers will claim the next day that I never hit Democrats, or even... Continue Reading →
Toast Our Troops
Last June, the United States Senate passed a bill that would provide health care and benefits for millions of veterans injured by exposure to toxins, from Agent Orange in Vietnam to burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. It had bipartisan support, passing 84-14, but a technical error required another vote. No problem, right? It's already... Continue Reading →
