He’s only a bird in a gilded cage, Rowe says, but it’s a cage of his own devise, and while, as the dove of peace says, we’ve heard it all before, the telling aspect is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action he uses as a paper at the bottom of that cage.You don’t have to […]

I had been looking forward to the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, but it seems to be falling flat, and Anderson pinpoints the issue. It doesn’t seem to be widely known, but there are two very different groups set up for the commemoration: America250 is a non-partisan group set up by Congress to […]

Indeed c’est le weekend, and while there are a lot of very important political issues to address, to quote Shakespeare or possibly Harold Pinter, “Tragedy tomorrow; Comedy tonight.”Besides, I don’t have enough information about the president’s physical beyond the release from the White House, where they report that he’s 6’3″ and weighs 238 pounds, so […]

I choose “Neither.” There’s a lot of news today, but it’s extensions of yesterday’s news and I had enough of that yesterday. Though, to contradict this cartoon, there are politicians trying to do something to stop it, but their legal cases are all pending at the moment, and it’s not clear that Dear Leader has […]

I gather it happened, though I don’t subscribe to Paramount+ and I wouldn’t have stayed up that late anyway. But from what I’ve read, it came off and people who made the effort to be there had a good time, which is unsurprising. If they were apt to view it the way Rowe did, they […]

It is a truism that the deficit falls under Democratic administrations and rises under Republican administrations, and that the last three presidents to lower the deficit were Clinton, Obama and Biden.It is also a truism that if you laid every economist in the country end to end, they would not reach a conclusion. It’s a […]

Today is Victory Day in Russia, though yesterday was VE Day elsewhere in the world. Russia marks the day the papers were signed, rather than the day the war ended. And today, as mentioned before, they’re marking the day with a parade that, Adams notes, doesn’t feature the usual display of weaponry, because their tanks […]

Golding channels Groening with this commentary on the upcoming 250th celebrations. I have been hesitant to comment because, while I’m astonished that anybody watches some of the braindead programming on TV, apparently they do.It seems elitist to mock people for not having your own refined sense of style, but that’s another chance to say, “Seems,” […]

I’d have liked to have seen more cartoons about yesterday’s Meet the Press interview, in which Kristin Welker pressed Trump for evidence of his claims and he reacted with the insult captured by Boris, Goris and Rapé, but it having occurred on a Sunday, a lot of cartoonists either decided to wait to make their […]

It’s true and it could trigger a whole rant, but instead let’s put aside the bad vibes for a day and have a few laughs.You can decide for yourself whether this is bad vibes or a laugh, but IMHO it’s only funny when everything else in the relationship is working. Which is true of all […]

Poor Volodya had to cut back the annual Victory Day Parade in Moscow this coming Saturday, reportedly because all the impressive arms and armor normally seen at that time are in Ukraine and can’t be spared, or, in some cases, made operative.But what are friends for? After a 90-minute phone call, his pal Donald announced […]

Having deleted several cartoons, both strips and political, that referred to Dear Leader’s now-moribund slush fund, it was a surprise to find a case of coincidental timing that did apply to something in the news. Not that it’s all that encouraging, but these days you have to take whatever you can get. Enough politics: It’s […]
