I believe government should support the common good.

I will not give into the lies.
I will not give into the fear.

Arrest Musk. Impeach Trump. Defeat Republicans. I don’t care in which order.

My dog has learned we can’t go for a walk until I’ve put on my shoes and tied them, but that process takes SO LONG!

My newspaper only publishes Doonesbury on Sundays. I think it's some sort of compromise with the conservatives in their readership.

From today - seems pretty relevant.
“Doonesbury” cartoon by Garry Trudeau. Six panels. Panel 1: Two men are working in the marijuana growing greenhouse. Zipper has a beard and mustache and is caucasian. Billy is wearing a handkerchief tied around his head and is Native American. Zipper: “So how’s your mom holding up, Billy?” Billy: “Not so good. She’s still upset about her firing…” Panel 2: A man and a small boy are at an overlook in a national park. They are reading an historical marker describing the area. A caption in the upper left of the panel says “Her Firing”. Man reads out loud, “By 1882, the Ute People had been forcibly removed from this area…” Voice from someone off screen, “Stop! Don’t read that marker!” Panel 3: Silhouettes of the man and boy looking out over the vista. A Native American woman has entered the scene. She has dangly earrings and long single braid and is wearing a park ranger uniform and hot. Man: “Uh…why not?” Park Ranger: “The President thinks the American people are all snowflakes…” Panel 4: The Park Ranger is replacing the sign on the historical marker while the man and boy look on. Park Ranger: “…and can’t handle the history of how Native Americans have been treated.” Panel 5: The Park Ranger turns to the visitors and says..” Here’s the revised patriotic version. Enjoy!” A voice from off screen: “Hey Nina!” Panel 6: The man and boy begin reading the new sign as the Park Ranger walks away. Man reading: “By 1882, the area had been cleared of homeless tents…” Nina, the Park Ranger answers the offscreen voice: “What’s up?” Offscreen Voice: “You’ve been fired. For being too equal.”

1/ Headline from my afternoon read of my local newspaper. They borrow a lot from the NYT. My take - Equifax wins; tax payers lose.

Business section:
"Equifax eyes profit from Medicaid cuts. Income data firm aims to help states enforce new work requirements for benefits".

Sunday afternoon with John Deering.

(Screenshots of today’s Arkansas Democrat Gazette)

First, John’s serious side.
Editorial cartoon by John Deering. The setting is the Oval Office. In the background from left to right are an American flag, a flag of the presidential seal, and on the far right is a crowd of four people leaning over a supine, distressed Uncle Sam. In the foreground, facing the viewer, is President Trump standing behind his desk. On top of the desk is an open book, a telephone, and a plaque on the desk says, “First Responder”. His thought bubble says, “I know nothing about that…”

John Deering this morning.
Editorial cartoon by John Deering. Beyond a partially open door, we see a balding man in a business suit and tie. He is watching a news report on tv. He has beady eyes and an evil grin. The sign on the door says “STEPHEN MILLER, White House Deputy Chief of Staff”. The caption of the tv announcement is, “Agents used flashbang grenades, broke down doors, and led children, including U.S. citizens, out of the Chicago apartment building with their hands bound by zip ties…”

John Deering yesterday.
Editorial cartoon by John Deering. Giants wearing military uniforms and boots standing in a row, only their legs and feet are visible. Staring up at them are two tiny men wearing suits. One man is pointing and shouting, “Suck in that gut, General!” He is holding a sheaf of paper labeled “Secretary of War”. Two pieces of paper have slipped out and lay at his feet. One says “Fat Is Woke”. The other says “Hegseth Rules”. Standing behind Hegseth is a fat, smiling blonde haired man wearing a too long red tie.

John Deering gets it right (this was printed in the newspaper before Hegseth’s speech this morning.)
Editorial cartoon by John Deering. Pete Hegseth dressed like General Patton standing on a stage giving a speech to a roomful of generals and admirals. The backdrop is an American Flag. One general whispers to another general, “I guess this covers their Epstein distraction for today. What about tomorrow.”

Not all heroes wear capes.

1 year ago Guardian Angel bought 6 nursing puppies from a man who had stolen them from a mama dog, then abandoned her to fend for herself in the streets.

Guardian Angel then searched for and rescued mama dog and cared for her & pups until they were weaned.
