News and commentary are full of coverage of Canada’s potential to become the first “associate member” of the European Union, and Loper provides a simple explanation of a complex situation. Misused and insulted by its nearest neighbor and largest trading partner, the geese are stretching their wings and seeking safe harbor elsewhere.There have been a […]
What if they gave a big convention, the first party convention held before a midterm, and nobody came?That seems to be the prospect facing Dear Leader. He planned an extravaganza starring himself (naturally) and JD, that would be televised to rally the GOP, and it was going to be fabulous, except it looks like yet […]
We’ll start with some good news, since that’s in such short supply lately: Palestinian cartoonist Safaa Odah, winner of the 2026 Kofi Annan Courage in Cartooning Award from Freedom Cartoonists, has left Gaza and arrived in Paris. Odah had been living in a tent in Gaza after her home in Rafah was destroyed and gave […]
Wuerker is right that the GOP is trotting out the tried-and-true fear-mongering that has worked in the past, and I guess we’re going to see how it works today. Certainly, these shopworn insults keep the faithful fired up, but as we watch Trump’s poll numbers slide, and with them, the polls for various old guard […]
Largely unrelated cartoons today as I clean out my cache, starting with a colorful Odyssey piece by Hajjaj. I’m about done with Odyssey references but that doesn’t mean a particularly apt piece won’t still catch my eye. A cartoonist would have to come up with something astoundingly brilliant for yet another wooden horse cartoon to […]
The leftists who have always attacked centrists are beginning to seem less extreme these days. In the days of Clinton and Obama, it was easy enough to say that, while there were things you wished they would or wouldn’t do, on the whole, they served well and had a broad sense of how a decent […]
The big news of the day is that Senators Tillis and Cornyn have resolved their doubts about confirming Todd Blanche as attorney general, since he has fulfilled two conditions: One, to sit down and talk with a group of Epstein victims, and the other, to certify an end to the proposed slush fund for paying […]
The latest chapter in the ongoing farce does not reflect well on Dear Leader, but Anderson should have flipped this one, because the clown is what everyone else sees, while how he sees himself is not just as a normal man but as a hero.Seriously. He posted this on his Truth Social page. The man […]
Nothing grabs public attention like poop, and there have been a whole lot of cartoons showing Uncle Sam or Liberty or Donald J. on the toilet. The source of all this is interesting, because it’s a parasite rather than a bacterial outbreak, and I heard an interesting conversation about it on 1A, but it seems […]
Cathy Wilcox brings some class to the topic of Lindsey Graham’s death. We’ve seen a flood of cartoons from cartoonists who didn’t like or respect him and were eager to depict him in the fires of Hell or being rejected at the Pearly Gates.Cartoonists could save some effort by creating a Pearly Gates template so […]
First, here’s the Red Card Menace:Just when you think Dear Leader has run out of ways to make everyone in the world hate us, he pulls this. They all laughed at him when he got that stupid pretend Peace Prize, but everybody assumed that was going to be the end of it. As I’ve said […]
I wasn’t going to revisit Trump’s state fair or run anymore July 4 cartoons, but Deering’s commentary is not only funny but thought-provoking, combining Dear Leader’s mentally-questionable assumption that the world revolves around him with the growing sense that fewer and fewer people care. He’s still got an active sucker list, but he’s losing some […]
Here a generally liberal and a generally conservative cartoonist offer a similar take on the Supreme Court’s finding that, because Roundup’s label doesn’t say it causes cancer, you can’t sue in state courts for Bayer failing to warn you that it causes cancer.Which sounds ridiculous, and there’s a more complex explanation, but it boils down […]
The future is fun! … The future is fair! … You may already have won! … You may already be there! — I Think We’re All Bozos On This BusWhat if they gave a Great American State Fair and nobody came? That was more or less the scenario on the National Mall this weekend, as […]
There’s a lot to grouse about these days, and Wiley does a nice job of summing it up: We’ve got people regretting previous statements and people boasting over their insights, and a significant amount of it all is unearned. I wouldn’t attribute it all to podcasters, but they’re about the only commentators who revisit past […]
