Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky came to town and Republicans said, "Nyet." President Joe Biden said, ""I will not walk away from Ukraine, and neither will the American people," but Republicans are. Republicans are offering up a litany of bogus reasons to deny further financial and military support in Ukraine's fight against Putin's illegal invasion. Some... Continue Reading →
One Rocket, Two Rocket, Good Rocket,Bad Rocket
Republicans are howling about the Biden administration "giving" Iran $6 billion and claiming that it's been used to make weapons for Hamas which they used in their sneak attack on Israel. As usual, Republicans are lying shitbags. The $6 billion belonged to Iran and it was frozen by South Korea. It was released back to... Continue Reading →
Freedom Puppets
The Biden administration just announced an additional $325 million to aid Ukraine in its war against Russia. This is added to the $75 billion we've already provided to Ukraine since Vladimir Putin illegally invaded that sovereign nation 19 months ago. Republican resistance to providing financial assistance to Ukraine is climbing. A Fox News poll from... Continue Reading →
Trump Is For Lovers
You know Russia isn't doing well in its war with Ukraine when it has to grovel to North Korea for ammunition. This is another sign that Putin underestimated Ukraine when he illegally invaded that sovereign nation. Who starts a war knowing he's going to run out of soldiers and bullets? Russia has hired mercenaries to... Continue Reading →
Putin’s Musky Puppet
Putin has a new puppet and his name is Elon Musk. The Russian president has been putting together a very disgusting friends list lately which includes Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, Ted Rally, Elon Musk, and Yevgeny Prighozin... No, scratch that last one. Starlink is a satellite internet service that's operated by SpaceX,... Continue Reading →
Prigozhin Office Pool
If you had "plane shot down by missile" in your Yevgeniy Prigozhin office pool, congratulations. You probably won. Probably won? What does that mean? Right now, it's speculated that Prigozhin is dead because his name was on the manifesto of the plane that suddenly nosedived into Russian turf outside Moscow. I was talking to my...

Trolling the Troll Farm
I previously wrote about the young man I met on the Sloop John B. Amtrak ride from Hell who told me he read on the "internet" that President Biden had been diagnosed with dementia. This young man wasn't stupid or uneducated and I believe he truly did read what he claimed on the internet. The... Continue Reading →
Wag the Dog
I think it's safe to say at this point that Russian President Vladimir Putin's illegal war with Ukraine is not going well. And who could have foreseen that hiring ruthless mercenaries would blow up in your face? The Wagner Group is a mercenary organization head by Yevgeny Prigozhin (who's a former hot dog salesman), who... Continue Reading →
Enemies of the Russian State
I'm sad about not winning recognition this year. No, I'm not talking about my failure to even place in any journalism awards for 2022 (what do they know anyway, right?). I'm talking about failing to make Vladimir Putin's enemy list. At first, you might think I'm crazy. Why should I make Putin's enemy list? I'm... Continue Reading →
Putin’s Enemies List
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday I'm going to cover this issue again, but next time for my newspaper clients. I'll blog about it then. Creative note: My editor chose this cartoon pretty early in the day last Friday, around 2 p.m. So... Continue Reading →
