MIDWEEK CARTOONS: HALLOWEEN!: OCTOBER 31, 2018

Scary stuff.
.
It was a toss-up for which of these two deserved top billing. You decide. Both are just so eloquent in their own way.










This meme began to do the rounds the day before the Pittsburgh shootings.





NO ONE should ever be killed in a house of prayer, despite your personal feelings towards their personal religion. However, I believe the ramifications of this event will be blown to holocaustic importance and that the world will be paying a very high price for this in terms of freedoms. The fact that Gab.ai has been taken down simply because the perpetrator spoke his filth there is just the beginning. "Anti semitism" will be taken to a whole new level resulting in censorship beyond that described in the most dire of Utopian stories.


I was a liberal back then; this is SO very true.




















An idiot or fanatic can be triggered by anything but the media was pushing this conspiracy from the get-go, never mind that he hated Trump; cruel to pittbulls to be included in this ridiculous cartoon.












Bolsonaro is considered Far Right. This automatically makes him a Nazi and guarantees him entry into the "bad boys of the world" club along with Putin, Trump, Orban and Salvini. The "Not-See" attitude was reflected in every cartoon; cutesy delivery but the message the same.




Another sacrificial cow to be sacrificed on the altar of globalism?














Permission must be requested before entering negotiations with China.


The Maple Leaf Canadian flag was not adapted until 1963. Is this little article actually this recent?






























Who pays for those trucks so well inter-spaced further back in the crowd? The Campbell's Soup executive above who posed this question was relieved of his position with the company as a result. The Tweet below is from the one who "hunted him down" and made a huge fuss over this "anti semitism". A modern day on-line bounty (Nazi) hunter mentality in full bloom. He makes it his purpose to seek these things out and use such comments as weapons which effect real lives and jobs. Most saddening is that he has a huge following who agree with him and help him do what he does.





Now THIS cartoon blew me away; the artist is foolish enough to portray Globalism as the Garden of Eden! I. Don't. Think. So. I had to post it just to show the international aspect of this agenda against individual freedom.




































I saw this photo of the Rev posing somewhere at a tragedy this week and all I could see was the natural set of horns so I painted out the folks around him.


The night of the elections should prove to be riveting entertainment. The Blue Wave will not happen; a few key members will retain their position (Pelosi, Mad Max, Chuck); change will come however; this terrifies them. Good. Personally I plan to channel surf results all night and pray I go to sleep with a smile from watching Liberal meltdowns.









































































Bye Angela. You have served your masters well. I am sure you will not exit the world stage, alas. However, things might change for the better in Germany without you at the helm. Then there is the betterment of the rest of Europe with you gone; Macron is not strong or credible enough to take over the mantle you plan to drop.






I post this to make a statement here: This cartoon has it backwards. The overt word being fought against might be those of Islam, but behind all of this is from (((the other))) Abrahamic Tribe.










































































Do you notice that the lower demon resembles Bibi?




























Is insanity the new normal? We hope not, but we're starting to have serious concerns. No sooner do authorities collect a Trump-obsessed bomb maker than the story is blasted out of the spotlight by another hate-filled maniac who went on a killing spree in a quiet Jewish synagogue, leaving 11 dead and more wounded. This is tragic and unacceptable craziness.



Following hard on their heels, legions of "news" people and social media gadflies are weighing in on whether Trump's "rhetoric of violence" (which mostly seems to be an unfortunate appreciation of rough-housing and fist fights) caused one or both of the incidents cited above. Spoiler alert: no, it didn't ~ except to the extent that the mentally unstable can get inspiration from almost anyone or anything before acting out. Do we know for a fact that neither of the crazed individuals was inspired to action by Hillary Clinton's impassioned call to treat your political enemies with "incivility" when they "want to destroy everything you stand for?"



We'll happily concede a scintilla of nuttiness in Trump, but considering the fact that the Obama administration wrapped a thick fog of insanity around every aspect of government (thus normalizing it), and Hillary "Guilty of Literally Everything" Clinton was set to continue our straightjacketed march into Hades, conservatives' only "rational" choice in 2016 was to choose Clinton's irrational opponent. The fact that he's still been spectacularly successful only underscores that we're not in Kansas anymore.



News people and politicians regularly demonize their opponents now in more-or-less Biblical terms, and preach that if you're not against the "evil" and actively fighting it ("Get in their faces! Let them know they're not welcome anywhere!"), then you're evil yourself and damned to political perdition. Unless you do penance by repeating (or acting upon) slogans like "Punch the Nazis" and "Kill White People."



Is anyone sane on college campuses these days? Conservative speakers are physically attacked, fires are started, and windows smashed. Minority students falsify racist attacks by scrawling graffiti and hanging nooses. "Safe spaces" are needed for students to recover after experiencing "micro aggressions" like, presumably, gnat farts. And a recent study suggested that as many as 26% of all college students may now be experiencing PTSD symptoms left over from their candidate losing in 2016. Snowflakes, indeed.



And while we hate to say it, we've recently seen a disturbing amount of craziness offered up by people who are good friends, as they cite wild conspiracy theories denying the obvious realities surrounding both the pipe bombs and the steroid-fueled whacko living in a van which looked like a Trump parade float. "He's too stereotypical to be real," "His window stickers don't look faded enough," "Anonymous Internet sources say he was a Democrat right up until the day this happened," "How did he drive all those bombs to the mailboxes in one day," and on and on.



With love in our hearts, we encourage anyone with this mindset to take a deep cleansing breath, think of the mantra "Sh*t Happens" on your exhale, then rejoin the less dramatic world of the marginally sane.



Yes, there are real conspiracies (the whole Mueller Russian investigation is a fine example), but it's a bad idea to develop an entire cosmology based on the idea that nothing that we see is real, and nefarious puppet-masters like the Bilderbergs, Zionist Jews, Globalists, or the Illuminati are constantly pulling the invisible strings running from the 9/11 attacks to Sandy Hook to the crowded secret cemetery in Arkansas that holds the bodies of Clinton murder victims.



More than any time in living memory, we are being bombarded by nuttiness, conspiracies, and calls to violence. We are pressured around the clock to replace reasoned discourse with emotional actions. It is a contagious fever ~ and an exceedingly dangerous one.



For all of this, we have no answers. But we can at least point out that somehow all of this madness must end ~ and soon ~ if the American experiment is to outlive us all. Until then, "be sane" and encourage sanity in others.

And speaking of hope springing eternally, we'd like to share the graphic below from our good friend Johnny Optimism. Every year on that site, we post a collage of decorated Halloween wheelchairs as a reminder that when Life gives you lemons, you should kick Life in the ass and throw your lemons at it, then do something totally awesome.

Considering the all-too-spooky news lately, we think it's a timely bit of advice. So enjoy Halloween, and take optimism and inspiration from these kids (and their wonderful parents)!
