Biden’s defenders equate criticism of their president to support for Trump.
Cartoonist’s Dilemma
•
What’s better to draw about, something people care about? Or something people should care about it? Guess which one pays better.
Everyone Has an Opinion about Covid
•
I became sick and tested positive for COVID-19 on December 30. Within hours, everyone was expressing a strong opinion about it. Not that anyone was changing their mind about anything.
Press Freedom for Us, Not for Assange
•
A judge has ordered the New York Times to exercise prior restraint in publishing materials that originated with Project Veritas, the right-wing hidden-camera organization. Newspapers and First Amendment groups are understandably concerned, but it’s hard to take them seriously about press freedom when they ignore, underplay or outright smear WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, who is literally dying in a British prison awaiting extradition to the United States for espionage charges related to his journalism.
Both Political Parties Have Their Own Big Lie
•
Republicans adhere to the “big lie” that Joe Biden cheated Donald Trump out of the 2020 election. Meanwhile, Democrats adhere to a big lie of their own, namely that Donald Trump cheated Hillary Clinton out of the 2016 election. Clinton didn’t help when she recently read the speech she had prepared for her 2016 “victory.”
Sorry Your Flat Screen TV Is Taking a Little Longer Than Usual
•
Tens of millions of Afghans face hunger and starvation this winter due to the collapse of the Afghanistan economy. As Americans whine that supply chain issues have slowed their ability to receive consumer goods, Afghans have a real supply-chain problem: they can’t get food because the United States has frozen the new Taliban government’s funds and refuses to lift brutal economic sanctions.
Joe Manchin Just Destroyed Joe Biden
•
Not since Joe Lieberman has a single phony Democratic senator mnanaged to dupe so many naive progressive and centrist Democrats into looking like fools as he undermined a president’s not-that-ambitious agenda. Joe Manchin has killed Build Back Better and dashed Democratic hopes for the foreseeable future.
This Is the Military! No Violence Allowed!
•
The US military has announced an initiative to root out violent extremism within its ranks. Of course, violence and extremism are the very core of what it means to be in the military.
Student Loan Lenders Are Predatory
•
The student loan industry rakes in billions of dollars in profits on the backs of ignorant, impressionable teenagers who don’t know the first thing about finance and pay exorbitant interest rates. Then, when some of them have trouble repaying because they have trouble finding good jobs, the establishment smears them as irresponsible. Joe Biden was right to suspend student loan repayments due to COVID-19, but that’s temporary. Student loans shouldn’t exist at all, but until we go to all grants, it should be a zero-profit business.
Adult Crime, Not Adult Logic
•
Oxford Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley is merely the latest child, 15 years old, to be tried as an adult. If society wants to punish children as adults, it should grant them the same privileges to be consistent.
