Donald Trump is issuing illegal orders to the military Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) addresses the failure to obey orders, stating that service members must obey lawful orders. An order is considered unlawful if it requires a service member to commit a crime, violates the Constitution, or is otherwise illegal. Service members have a duty to refuse … [Read more...] about Legal Orders
American Thanksgiving: Speaking American
The advanced wrote this morning: In October, Clay Jones suffered a stroke. Through the generous support of the cartoonist community across the country and local citizens, and with the expertise of the physicians at Mary Washington Hospital and the healthcare workers supporting his recovery, Clay is slowly making his way back. While he’s not ready to pick up the demands of … [Read more...] about American Thanksgiving: Speaking American
QUIET PIGGY (CARTOON AND COLUMN)
I initially did not want to draw Donald Trump as a pig. I thought that was too easy and was the type of thing that would be every other political cartoonist' first idea. One of the first rules of cartooning is that you don't go with your first idea. Of course, drawing Donald Trump as a pig is very irresistible. While this was not my first idea, I could not resist drawing Donald … [Read more...] about QUIET PIGGY (CARTOON AND COLUMN)

ICE AND CHILDREN
COMEDIANS CANCELLED BEFORE JIMMY KIMMEL
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) should not be political. FCC Chairman Brandon Carr is making it very clear that this is political. He made it clear by going on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show right after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! And all those counter-culture warriors who championed Charlie Kirk as a champion of free speech are cheering this move by the Trump … [Read more...] about COMEDIANS CANCELLED BEFORE JIMMY KIMMEL
SORRY CHARLIE
Famous last words I don’t wish death on anyone. I’ve scolded more than one friend for posting in my comments on Facebook death wishes for Donald Trump. I don’t do that, and I don’t think liberals or Democrats should do it either. Let the other side be vile. Half of the reason I don’t want political opponents dead is that I don’t wish bad things to anyone. ANYONE. The other … [Read more...] about SORRY CHARLIE
Vaccines and Blockheads
I'd rather Lucy's medical advice for a nickel than anything RFK Jr. has to say Five weeks ago, a shooter opened fire on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) headquarters in Atlanta and killed James Rose, a DeKalb County police officer. The shooter wasn’t an immigrant or trans, that we’re aware, so the Trump administration hasn’t said much about it. After … [Read more...] about Vaccines and Blockheads
Stash in the Stache
Trump is going after his enemies The FBI raided John Bolton’s home and office today as part of a criminal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information. Bolton served 17 months as Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser in his first term, and has been a harsh critic of his ever since. A lot of people who worked for Trump are now critics. Remember, … [Read more...] about Stash in the Stache
ROOF TOP FELON
DC is so crime-ridden, that the top federal official is a 34-count felon Despite the nation’s capital being at a 30-year low in crime, Donald Trump has now federalized it, installing 800 National Guard troops to patrol the city because a former DOGE guy (white dude) got slapped around by some kids. Fun fact: National Guardsmen are NOT cops. They have not been trained in … [Read more...] about ROOF TOP FELON
Dr. Robert
On Tuesday, it was announced that the Trump Regime, which is a petri dish of conspiracy theories, is canceling almost $500 million in contracts to develop mRNA vaccines to protect the nation against future viral threats. The federal Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA, which is also the noise Pete Hegseth makes when throwing up in a back alley … [Read more...] about Dr. Robert
OBAMA TREASON (COLUMN AND CARTOON)
Last Friday, Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence (sic), released a report she claims showed a “treasonous conspiracy in 2016” by top Obama administration officials to harm Donald Trump. (SEE UPDATE ON THIS STORY HERE) This is bizarre because over the past eight years, the entire Intelligence network agreed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to … [Read more...] about OBAMA TREASON (COLUMN AND CARTOON)
Epstein Client List (Cartoon and Column)
The Justice Department posted a memo saying there is no evidence that the late pedophile and Trump party buddy Jeffrey Epstein was murdered or that he kept anything amounting to a much-anticipated “client list.” A DOJ spokesgoon told CNN that the department does not plan to release any new documents on the matter. If you’re not surprised that there’s not a list of Epstein’s … [Read more...] about Epstein Client List (Cartoon and Column)
BOMBS OVER BROADWAY
I gotta be honest with you. I didn’t think Trump’s F-bomb was anything unique or scandalous in the New Normal. Sure, it’s not presidential for a president to say, “They don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” to reporters while standing in the White House driveway, but none of this has been presidential. So, I didn’t think it was cartoon worthy, but then I saw one yesterday, … [Read more...] about BOMBS OVER BROADWAY
JOURNALISTS IN CROSSHAIRS
Press freedom is an issue close to my heart. Here in America, Journalists have never had to worry so much for their physical safety....There are other places outside the United States where being a journalist can be very dangerous. Mexico can be a very bad place for journalists, not so much from the government but from drug cartels. Murderers of journalists in Haiti are … [Read more...] about JOURNALISTS IN CROSSHAIRS
HOW TO TALK TO WHITE MEN (CARTOON AND COLUMN)
Democratic donors are about to spend $20 million on a “strategic plan” called “Speaking with American Men” to figure out their problem with men, and mostly White men. The plan includes “study(ing) the syntax, language, and content that gains attention and virality” in male “spaces.” I’m non-partisan, but I will offer to help the Democrats figure out their White dude problem … [Read more...] about HOW TO TALK TO WHITE MEN (CARTOON AND COLUMN)
TRUMP VS HARVARD (Cartoon and Column)
Along with Vladimir Putin, Walmart, Apple, Bruce Springsteen, every nation that’s a US ally, Donald Trump is at war with Harvard, and trying to remove government funding from the institution. Now, Trump wants to redirect $300 billion from Harvard to trade schools. Trump’s war with Harvard is Stupid vs Smart. Trump is stupid. For example, Trump doesn’t know that government … [Read more...] about TRUMP VS HARVARD (Cartoon and Column)
Fly The Grifter Skies (Cartoon and Column)
Donald Trump is a crook, and since he gets away with everything, he’s not even trying to hide it. The royal family of Qatar is going to gift a luxury 747-8 Boeing jumbo jet, which will be used as Air Force One. The jet, described as a “flying palace,” will have to be refitted to serve as Air Force One, and won’t be ready until shortly before Trump is “supposed” to leave … [Read more...] about Fly The Grifter Skies (Cartoon and Column)
NEGATIVE CRIMINALS (CARTOON AND COLUMN)
One reason Donald Trump will never be a good negotiator is that he cares about the polls too much. Before he shut down the government in his first term, he boasted to Nancy Pelosi that he would take the blame. After he shut down the government and the polls blamed him, he couldn’t take it, and he caved. He got none of his demands, and Nancy played him like a cheap pair of … [Read more...] about NEGATIVE CRIMINALS (CARTOON AND COLUMN)
CHUNKY CULT (CARTOON AND COLUMN)
There's something wrong with Trump's scale Rep. Jack Kimble tweeted that “President Trump is now 6’3” 224 pounds with 4.8% body fat. We might lose him to the NFL draft.” Captain Barbarella, the physician to the president (sic), failed to hide in his memorandum about Donald Trump’s physical that he’s a Trump sycophant. Or at least he failed to hide that he was controlled … [Read more...] about CHUNKY CULT (CARTOON AND COLUMN)
