Yesterday morning, I published two cartoons about Donald Trump getting indicted. I actually wrote it the night before, but published it early the next morning. And lo and behold, a few hours later, Trump was indicted. Coincidence? I like to think not! But I know what you are thinking. Trump has been able to wiggle […]
Two stories paint a dismal picture of the good old USA. The first is a study that shows that while life expectancy around the world decreased in 2020 due to COVID-19, most countries were able to reverse the trend and increase life expectancy by 2021, while the US continued to drop precipitously, down to the […]
Former VP Mike Pence is not the first member of the administration of Donald Trump to attack their former boss, but he is the first presidential contender to do so. At the annual Gridiron dinner for journalists, Pence said: History will hold Donald Trump accountable for Jan. 6. Make no mistake about it: What happened […]
I have not watched a State of the Union speech for a long time, but for some reason I felt like watching Joe Biden’s speech tonight. I’m really glad I did. If you didn’t see it, you should. It starts off a little slow, but gets going soon. It had just the right amount of […]
I fear that US politics is so crazy, that most voters have just tuned completely out. Not everyone is hurt by all this chaos, some thrive on it. You might have had problems affording gasoline, but Exxon Mobil had their most profitable year ever in 2022. Donald Trump did no campaigning until last weekend, instead […]
I’d like to share an interesting source on the internet with you. I’ve been enjoying watching videos on YouTube from Sabine Hossenfelder. Sabine is a physicist who mainly posts videos explaining physics (such as quantum mechanics) in her series “Science without the Gobbledygook”. She does a good job of simplifying complex subjects (similar to what […]
Why does the economy change? Why do we have economic recessions and even depressions? Tom the Dancing Bug explains it all with a simple example. Now we just have to figure out why most extremely rich people seem to do fine anyway (Hint: see last frame).
A federal judge exercised his right to free speech, and told Florida gov Ron Desantis to sit down and STFU. The judge blocked state officials from enforcing a key part of the new “Stop WOKE Act”, saying it was “positively dystopian”. Comparing the law to the book “1984” by George Orwell, the judge wrote that […]
Republicans love to blame everyone else (Democrats, emigrants, gays, Jews, Blacks, and on and on) for their problems, but they are now turning on each other. And (hallelujah!) they are especially attacking Donald Trump. According to Maggie Haberman and Michael Bender in the NY Times: Donald Trump faced unusual public attacks from across the Republican […]
The Democratic Party tried a rather risky gambit during the midterm election. During the primaries, they promoted far-right Trump-loving candidates (even running ads for them), assuming that such candidates would be easier to defeat in the election. At the time, there was much concern that it might blow up in their face. But did it […]
Hopefully I’m not being premature (it isn’t even midnight on the East Coast yet), but there seem to be two pieces of good news happening in the midterm elections. First, a “red wave” was strongly predicted. After all, traditionally the party in power in the White House loses many seats in Congress – Obama lost […]
I’m back from my big vacation in Australia (had a wonderful time!), just in time to vote. I just wanted to make sure that everyone else voted. It is the least you can do for your country!
It seems like Florida governor, Trump wannabe, and potential presidential aspirant in 2024, Ron DeSantis, likes to use stunts to get attention. There’s just one problem — they seem to backfire on him. Yes, I’ve seen it written that DeSantis is a smarter version of Donald Trump, but that must be an awfully low bar. […]
Last week, Joe Biden laid a trap for Donald Trump, as well as the entire Republican Party, and TFG fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. As has been noted repeatedly, Republicans desperately wanted the upcoming midterm elections to be a referendum on Biden: the withdrawal from Afghanistan, inflation, gas prices, the border, race, and […]
Whatever you want to call it: Swindling the swindlers, or grifting the grifters. We already know that Donald Trump was illegally keeping confidential, highly classified documents at his private home and club. And lying about it — in June, one of Trump’s attorneys declared that no classified documents remained at Mar-a-Lago. The next question is, […]
