As I write this a winter storm is hitting my windows with heavy winds and hard rains. I am grateful to not be snowed in by so many. The only nod to snow we had was an inch or so dropped on Christmas Eve that was gone before sun-up. But the rain, on the other hand, has been relentless.
I can only hope and pray that you, yes, YOU, dear reader, had as wonderful and warm a family time as I was blessed with this year. The food was beyond amazing although I ate very very sparingly and am now back on my health regime. I do admit to having a short, very unhealthy but delightful relationship with a tin of home made almond Rocha.
Somewhere during our rounds of "cheers" and "skolls" was one dedicated to how different I look due to my efforts to become healthier over the past year. It was so rewarding to have the family give me that emotional boost!
But family was where it was at. This is an exciting time for my little clan with so many changes and challenges for my girls ~ ooops now women full grown. On Christmas Day I was advised that I will become a (first time) Grandmother during the coming year. Now that is a serious Christmas gift!
My next post to you all will be next year ~ in 2018. The past year has been exciting to observe and share with you all and I want to thank every one of you for your support and visits. Collecting these cartoons truly is a labour of love and I will keep at it for as long as that feeling resonates.
And you all keep coming back, of course.
I truly hope that this 2018 is good to every one of you. Yes there is a lot of horror beyond belief in our world, issues that I could never have imagined back in the day, but there is still basic human goodness in the hearts and minds of so many. We can only do our best to keep fact-based common-sense knowledge alive, share it, and enjoy our lives.
Please make the best of all the time you are gifted with ~every minute of it. May a blessed and prosperous, healthy 2018 be Yours.
Mother has been looking a tad manic these days.
This is what happens when feminism takes over a nation and castrates its males.
This creature states: “Theologically, for instance, we know that God is beyond our gender determinations, God is not human.” Well, duh, Idiotwoman! That is not the point.
The Peoples' Cube never fails to put the news into proper Communist/Democratic perspective!
Although Trump had little to do with it, my family all being in Canada, I can truly say that this was the best family Christmas I have had in quite a few years.
Artist Comment: The Star of Bitcoin: The world of the likes of Bitcoin is one of the most divisive topics in
finance right now. While some call it a "fraud" and dub those trading it
"stupid", on the other hand, there are those who see cryptocurrencies
as one of the most revolutionary forces in finance
Except that Justin Trudeau is embracing and enforcing this damn Communist Environmental Yidiocy upon us in the Great White North.
Christmas in downtown Edinburgh.
As 2017 drags itself across the finish line, we find ourselves reflecting on the fact that this may well have been the worst year ever for American journalism ~ and that's a pretty high bar to clear.

We've got plenty of evidence to back up this proposition, not the least of which is a new article from Newsweek which is hilariously titled "HOW TRUMP AND THE NAZIS STOLE CHRISTMAS TO PROMOTE WHITE NATIONALISM" (hey, if they use all caps, we'll use all caps).
.
The article, tastefully published on Christmas Eve and likely written under the influence of heavily spiked egg nog, would be impossible for us to paraphrase. No, it needs to be read to be (dis)believed:

.
The article, tastefully published on Christmas Eve and likely written under the influence of heavily spiked egg nog, would be impossible for us to paraphrase. No, it needs to be read to be (dis)believed:
"Trump is promoting a version of the holidays which excludes members of other religions, and his crusade to bring back Christmas is part of a larger attempt by the President to define America as a country for white Christians alone.
.
Wishing people "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" is thus in line with Trump's decision to ban citizens of Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, critics say. It fits neatly with his refusal to condemn white supremacists when they march against diversity, and with his condemnation of athletes who protest police brutality against black men."
If you read far enough into the article, which we certainly don't recommend, Newsweek
finally gets around to saying that in pre-war Germany the Nazis
attempted to nationalize many holidays including Christmas. But they
then generously concede that "Trump's rhetoric differs from that of Nazi Germany's, most notably because he has never advocated genocide."
.
This is not journalism. It isn't even an editorial. It's an ugly, hate-filled, foam-at-the-mouth screed by people whom Trump would unsubtly but accurately describe as "losers."
.
We'd say more, but this piece of garbage article upset us so much that we need to calm ourselves with some relaxing music. We're thinking Bing Crosby singing "White Christmas."

Christmas tree in a War Zone
The stupidity is strong with this one.
Artist Comment: No photoshop was used in this picture. Honest!
Yes, it's an honest-to-gosh Donald Trump gingerbread cookie which
we received in the mail today, along with a bunch of other homemade
goodies from a special (and conservative) friend! We only took it out of
its cellophane wrap long enough to take this picture, then carefully
replaced it.
And while framing it seems appropriate, the reality is that it's probably not an option. So after a suitable period of Making the Cookie Jar Great Again, we'll have to eventually consume this spicy treat.
Interestingly, it isn't supposed to be dunked in milk. Rather, it should only be dunked in liberal tears ~ which, fortunately, are flowing freely these days.

Destroyer of Worlds
The Dictator
This is one lucky lively little girl.
The European nations standing solid against enforced migrations, who are protecting their own people from invasion, safe from migrant crime and cultural destruction, are now under strong attack, including in the public media. Below are three cartoons showing the comparisons to Nazism and/or sexual assault of "justice". (Justice for whom?)
Artist Comment: Nazilands: European countries struggle to defeat far-right parties in internal elections.
Thanks 90 Miles from Tyranny for so many images. Great blog.
Words of wisdom. The modern equivalent of "Don't cast your pearls before swine."
This image enlarges. If you can translate it I would be most grateful. I have found a good site for artistic imagery but there is not a word in English. This is, I believe, Farsi, but I don't know for sure.
The Truth is her name is #Ahed. It means the Promise. She was arrested for slapping an #Israeli Soldier because he shot her little brother dead at point blank range right in front of her for no reason.
A #Zionist Israhelli #Rabbi has called for her to be #Raped in custody as a punishment. She is in prison. She is a little girl.
And for all the #Americans reading this Post are you aware that 37% of the #Palestinian Victims are #Christians? So you can cut out the bullshit that this is happening to them because they are Muslims as well the #Palestinians.
Not that it should matter anyway. They look the same - they dress the
same, the Arabic word for God in Christianity is Allah, Allah is the
Arabic word for God. It's the same God and the NAZI Genocidal Mass
Murdering EVIL that is Zionism is FACTUALLY NOT #JUDAISM EITHER!!!!!
And why did Ahed Tamimi slap that soldier? Because this is what they had done to her brother just previously and she was beyond furious. I cannot find the larger version of this image I found earlier, but they have had to remove a good part of this boy's skull to be replaced in the future after his brain heals; that scar across his head is atrocious; one cannot even begin to imagine the pain this child is undergoing.
Egyptian media says this story was a joke because the donkey did not have proper Israeli ID. But then this took place in that Palestinian hotbed, Silwan. Apparently this is not the first time they have arrested donkeys.

When men were men...
The couple who refused to bake the cake have just been ordered to pay these creatures $135 000 damages and have been forced out of business in the meantime. Their lives have been destroyed by these two vindictive dykes who do NOT look even remotely feminine in most of their photographs as compared to these publicity photos.
I stumbled across this site a few days ago. It truly is unhealthy.
Ah, the power they give us!
This silly Communist Buzzfeed is just that ~ silly.
More of this "Jesus was a refugee" absolute IDIOCY.
Sometimes cartoons are just plain stupido.
I am in short term FB jail. It seems this image which I posted years ago finally upset someone enough so that I was punished for such indiscretion and.... anti semitism.
One has to call this cartoonist on his misguided message here considering the absolute outrageousness of the original claim. I did. So far, no response. However, over the holidays my family played some fun party games and it was imperative for me to just keep silent at times. It became apparent that my entire family is still enamoured of the Obamas and blind to the true politics of America and the world ~ they live the Conservative dream and have worked very hard in honourable professions to gain their success but they somehow maintain totally Dem/liberal values. For the sake of unity, I did not rise to the bait but realized I love them no matter what.

What on earth happened to this fellow? How far did he fall?
Then let us discuss whether he suffered brain injury.
Artist Comment: The Santa Scandal: 2017: the year than powerful white middle aged father figures have been
brought down due to sexual misconduct. Could Father Christmas avoid
that fate?
Artist Comment: Medals of Valor: In these dark days of war on the streets of America, cops are kissing
their loved ones goodbye and leaving for work not knowing if they're
going to return. And lately more and more don't.
Ever to the point.
Artist Comment: The Islamicist's New Teeth: A Center for the Study of Global Christianity report has drawn attention
to thousands of Christians killed by Islamist groups Boko Haram in
Nigeria and Al-Shabaab in east Africa over the last decade.
Artist Comment: Black Baubles: A grim reminder that there are animals out there who would like to blow us all to smithereens this Christmas.
Hope that is an all-beef wiener.
Greetings and best wishes for a happy new year from a sweltering Namibia where we're praying for a few drops of rain ... the sweet smell from distant clouds is so teasing ...
ReplyDeleteThank you for the work you do in collecting these gems and presenting them in one place - sometimes it takes a whole day to look at them all, because I often have to leave my computer - My cat and I have an ongoing battle for possession of the chair which he pounces on as soon as I leave; I have no qualms though in reclaiming it to continue looking at the toons.
2018 - hope you have a good one ...
I like the last cartoon, Noor. Here in Gatineau, we have been getting "extreme cold warnings" for days now, and the end is not in sight.
ReplyDeleteCartoons appreciated. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
