VIP SNORKEL The story about Kash Patel snorkeling at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor surfaced again today with more details of the FBI Director’s tasteless recreation.

BLOTUS The latest consumer price report indicates US inflation has accelerated to an annual rate of 3.8%, the highest level of inflations since May 2023. Who should we blame for that?

Kash Out More news in the category of “you can’t make this stuff up.” Yesterday, the Atlantic published a story about how the Director of the FBI runs around the country handing out bourbon in personalized, custom Kash Patel bottles.

Judge Mental The federal judiciary is being loaded with MAGA freaks. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice is offering $25K signing bonuses for new federal prosecutors. It seems nobody wants to work there. The erosion of the federal judicial system under Trumpism continues apace.

Still the Right Answer The charges against James Comey filed today is the most banana republic nonsense we’ve yet seen from the organization that calls itself the US Department of Justice. I don’t know how these assholes can even look at themselves in the mirror.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Ballroomina Lindsey Graham is such a lickspittle, but, evidently, one helluva dancer.

Takeaway Dear Leader immediately seized Saturday night’s events at the White House Correspondents Dinner as an opportunity to pedal his bloated ballroom vanity project. That’s the first thing I was thinking about. How about you?

Many believe that Todd Blanche is auditioning to get the permanent Attorney General post. He’s now saying the quiet part aloud, freely acknowledging that it’s the AG’s job to go after whoever Dear Leader tells him to, and then lamely asserts this is exactly how the previous administration operated.

Trump Cards

Easter Greeting ICYMI, this is a quote from Dear Leader’s 2026 Easter Greetings, posted bright & early this morning. With all those evangelicals laying those hands all over him, they just don’t seem to be getting the job done, do they? And to think, there’s lots of time for him to sink even lower.

Unbondi Love His love knows no Bondis. Why does it seem him saying “We Love Pam” is even more humiliating than just being fired?

The Sword of Donaldcles I’ve had a break, been visiting some family. I haven’t been able to avoid the news, but took a long vacation from drawing. At least I didn’t entirely miss Trump’s war. Whatya know. It wasn’t over in two weeks. And Dear Leader’s reckless threats keep on coming.

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

Kristi Noem was deservedly removed as Secretary of Homeland Security. Dear Leader is nominating another likely incompetent sycophant to replace her, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, the only sitting US Senator whose education has not even attained a bachelor’s degree. Some of my Noem stuff:

The ridiculous variety of justifications from the Trump Administration for the unprovoked acts of war against Iran might even be funny if it wasn’t costing people their lives.

As Dear Leader is now hanging his ugly mug on Federal buildings, you have to wonder if these MAGA clowns have bothered to consider how bad this looks, how thoroughly un-American. Here, I’ve extracted a drawing I did four years ago as the 2024 campaign 1/2

A remembrance drawing of the great American actor Robert Duvall who passed on Sunday. Here he is as Gus McCrae in Lonesome Dove.

DHS Checklist A particularly unflattering piece in the February 13 issue of the Wall Street Journal about Kristi Noem and her alleged FWB Corey Lewandowski relates a particularly absurd episode illustrating Noem’s diva-like behavior in running the Department of Homeland Security.

Ape Shit He’s really disgusting, isn’t he?

Conway: If you want your lives to be better and you want this country to persevere for your kids, we need to impeach and remove this fascist fucker now, as soon as possible. And I know that language is tough, but that’s where we are.

Groundhog Sues His Shadow Of course he does. Happy Groundhog Day!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Assassin Nation A sunny, cold Saturday in January became a day of rage. The vile slanders spewed by the leadership of the American government today about the murder of Alex Pretti this morning is beyond infuriating.

Stephen Manipulator As bad as Dear Leader can be in his own right, as his seeming growing dementia progresses, I’m getting an increasingly uncomfortable impression that Stephen Miller is largely driving the bus.

Con Jabba I’m sure that we are all equally comforted by the notion that the only thing that constrains the Mango Mussolini is his “high grade morality.”

Scott Adams has passed, after battling cancer. There was a time, years ago, when I found his work quite entertaining, but in his later years, he took a pretty sour turn, at least from my perspective. Here are three panels that he “inspired” me to draw over the last several years.

Little Big Man

Klaus Play Barbie

The Brain The arrogance of the Deputy White House Chief-of-Staff is astonishing as this unelected humorless hack acts as if he is setting the foreign policy of the United States.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Unthinkable?

He gets so excited thinking about all that Venezuelan oil! And I bet you’re not thinking about those Epstein files! So, is our Congress going to sit idly by and allow the madman to invade other countries at will?

This Shit is Really Getting Old Swollen cankles and all, are we Great yet? Happy New Year, Bluesky!

No Class

Turning Points JD had a lot to say at the Turning Point USA gig over the weekend , this is but a sample. It’s clear that he’s angling to be the go-to guy to lead the far right after the inevitable sunsetting of Dear Leader. JD is one hell of an opportunist and as phony as they come.

Saucy Susie

Truth: POS Yes, the Mango Mussolini’s post about Rob Reiner was vile. But, consider the source.

Make America Pirates Of course, he’s keeping the oil. And isn’t it comforting that they say they got a warrant to seize the oil tanker in international waters. Our nation has been tarnished in so many ways by this regime, why not be pirates?

Not Falling For It Kegsbreath can dodge and weave, but it looks like even some Trumpublicans are not falling for it.

VETTING The incompetence of most all the cabinet secretaries in this administration makes just about anything possible. Here’s another dress-up option for Cosplay Barbie.

SLEEPY DO’ Or, should that be Sleepy, Doh!? It’s all so ridiculous.

EYE ROLL When the world is going to shit, why not indulge in some obscure literary humor? Please post a comment below if you get the reference. My wife tells me that nobody’s gonna get it.

We go to maybe 1 or 2 games every year, but I couldn’t help but get sucked into the playoffs this year with the Seattle Mariners making a good run at it. Game 7 of the ALCS was painful. I’m not even a huge fan, but have to admit I got a taste of what the true fans must’ve been feeling this week.

One of my impressions from Saturday’s No Kings march.

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now. YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday. Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms. While you still can. @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021."
