The Magic Mikes


Maybe I'm just naive and don't understand diplomacy or foreign policy, but it seems to me if you're going to have a successful ceasefire, then both sides have to agree on the definition of "ceasefire." Donald Trump, the self-described "stable genius" and "great negotiator" with "unmatched wisdom," sent sycophant Mike One and sycophant Mike Two... Continue Reading →

Trump’s Turkey Letter


Warren Harding was not a good president. Even during his term, he was regarded as a failed president and that perception remains with today's historians who rank him among the worst. His administration was visionless, ineffectual and corrupt. He slashed immigration quotas, appointed his cronies, one of whom accepted bribes from oil companies in what... Continue Reading →

As ambassador Andrei Karlov lay dying on the floor the gunman shouted “Don’t forget Aleppo! Don’t forget Syria!” The image was captured in photos... Continue Reading →

War With Russia


I resisted joining the herd of political cartoonists drawing turkeys to symbolize the nation of Turkey. Did Turkey plan to jump in American news the week of Thanksgiving?
