YOUR SATURDAY CARTOONS: JANUARY 5, 2019

How is that for a major ouchie, dear Reader? 

A few days into the New Year and I am wishing all of you and yours the best possible in the year ahead. We have no idea what that involves; The Hill claims Trump will step down later this year rather than be impeached. I just know the man has major problems ahead.

There is just too much going on for this humble soul to predict or analyze with any conviction; time has taught us all to expect nothing more than the unexpected. Unless it involves Liberals or Democrats, of course; they never disappoint. 

As for my own nation, I can only pray Canadians pull together and boot out Trudeau. Many people seem to take offense at referring to him as "traitor" and support him but I have no idea who they are. But, the CBC Media, bought and paid for a month or so ago by the non-benevolent dictator claim Canadians everywhere still back him. Further down, note the results of his Christmas Message to Canadians! 

I just noticed a shiny new, brand new Jaguar in our building parking lot. This is assisted living housing meant for those living on a fixed income. Most of the tenants in our building are, like myself, living on limited monies and our vehicles show it. Most of us drive VERY humble vehicles over a certain age so this Jag stands out like a shiny new thumb. A year ago, an older Syrian couple moved into the building; due to availability they got the very best apartment in the building in terms of height, view, etc. That was their luck in play. But how, after a year, do poor Syrian refugees get a brand new Jaguar? Just asking.

I have dropped "Alternative" from the title of these offerings. At one time alternative was a defined term, now it is meaningless with the material I offer. It is just more conservative than most. 

This year I look forward to spending a lot of time with the handsomest smartest Grandson on the planet. Eat your hearts out! My resolution? I have made the same resolution for 55 years: to lose weight. Still have a little way to go but I have finally kept it! Perseverance. This coming year the resolution is to add gym time to swim time and get stronger muscles; and keep the weight off. I just feel so DAMN GOOD smaller. I bought a winter coat last week, 5 sizes smaller than the last one I bought. Let me show you how utterly GORGEOUS I am!  The blue plaid shirt is now a dress. The 2018 and then the 2019 models of moi.

Sorry for bragging. But someone has to do it! By the way, last year, for you alone, I posted 24, 576 cartoons/memes!

Not sure why but I do love this cartoon. It says so many things.

They sound like bursting grapes! 

Stilton says: Removing any lingering doubts that 2019 might not suck with the intensity of an immense black hole, yesterday Nancy Pelosi again wrapped her claw-like talons around a ceremonial gavel (which she refers to as "my precious") as she was restored to the lofty position of Speaker of the House of Representatives.

"Let each of us pledge that when we disagree, we will respect each other and we will respect the truth," said the aging harpy who recently showed her respect for the President of the United States by saying that listening to him was like being sprayed with skunk piss.

"Transparency will be the order of the day," she added ~ clearly not caring about the irony of her demands to turn off news cameras during her recent meeting with Trump, not to mention her famous quote about Obamacare that "we have to pass it so you can see what's in it." In other words, the only thing "transparent" about Nancy's tenure for the next two years will be the obviousness of her anti-American motives.

Nancy also promised that Democrats "will make America more American by protecting our patriotic, courageous Dreamers who aren't actually Americans and may, in a few cases, belong to violent gangs."

Okay, she didn't really finish the sentence like that, but we're sure she wouldn't mind us adding the additional facts for the sake of transparency.

And while she didn't specifically mention the controversial border wall which is currently the cause of a partial government shutdown, her inflexible position on the issue is already impacting a lot of lives...

 

The lack of a border wall tempts people to make a very dangerous journey...in hopes of eventually committing the crime of entering our country illegally, after which a huge percentage will survive on welfare.

But not everyone makes it. Many woman and children are routinely raped and abused during the journey, and still others simply die of various causes ~ nearly 400, just last year. We'd include the young girl and boy who recently died after being dragged over the border by neglectful parents. The United States tried to save the children's lives, but it was too late.

Refusing to build the wall is an open invitation to more suffering and death. But deaths ~ even those of women and children ~ are secondary to the political advantages Democrats intend to gain by flooding our country with government-dependent illegals.

So besides giving Nancy that gavel, maybe we should also give her a shovel with which to dig graves for those who she'll continue to sacrifice for her own ambitions.

Is it just me or does Mrs. Schumer resemble Austin Powers in drag?

Democratic Socialist Elizabeth Warren has announced the formation of an exploratory committee to test the waters for a 2020 presidential run. In response, the ever-subtle Donald Trump tweeted that "you'd have to ask her psychiatrist" if she really thinks she could win. Which reminded us of an old joke...

Elizabeth Warren went to the psychiatrist and said, "Ever since I decided to run for president, I've been having weird dreams. One night I dream I'm a tepee, and the next night I dream I'm a wigwam! And that's how it goes, night after night - tepee, wigwam, tepee, wigwam..."

"The problem," the psychiatrist interrupts, "is that you're two tents."

Why they hate Flynn.

Can you name these First Ladies?

She died a few weeks later, not the same day. But the image itself is interesting.

The ordinary people of France. We didn't have to get too far into 2019 for President Macron to put both feet in his mouth. A Blood Feud with Italy and a pending Euro collapse in 2019 ~ What could go wrong? The little fop called everyone in a yellow vest members of "a hateful mob" in his New Year address to the nation. It did not go down too well. 

Paris is, indeed, burning. The Eiffel Tower over the recent holiday season.

#MeToo movement or not, the above three cartoons represent situations familiar to most women. We have ALL faced harassment at times in our lives. But we certainly do not have to make ourselves victims over these issues.

When I was younger I always had a large dog as a companion; for 14 years it was Lucy, an Old English Sheepdog. My apartment in the downtown core of Toronto was in a seedy area that I had to walk through four times a day/late night for work several long blocks away. I walked a street where the really low-life types came to pick up the lowest level hookers, frequently glue-bag sniffing trannies. Sorry, but that is what they were, so back down if you are offended. 

It was a long intimidating walk especially in certain areas. The third cartoon is familiar. But a long walk around the area was impossible; why should I be intimidated and forced to walk out of my way when my route was a straight line? Especially after a long day of work on my feet? I never even considered such a thing.  However, I always wore dark glasses so they could not see my eyes. Always. Even at 1 AM after my business was closed.

Big dog or no big dog, men drove by, hissed, whispered, whatever; I ignored the ones slowing their cars. Even when I was a waddling 9 months pregnant they slowed down and whispered! "Psst! Pssssst!" Apparently in some cultures pregnant women cut their husbands off and they have... er... desires and curiosity. Learned that from a Lamaze friend whose husband was a cop. 

If any approached me, my dog, a big fluffy thing, went into protective mode and, since most of these were immigrant males from lower echelons of the societies they had come from, they drew back. Only once did I have to whiz a smooth rock (always a few in my pocket) at a forehead and my aim was good. Another time I had Lucy's other choke chain in my pocket and when the fellow persisted aggressively despite my warning, I whipped him across the face. He ran, bloodied; I ran, terrified at what I had done. 

I only tell these things because we all have our stories. All women have them, but these things are certainly not to be dwelt upon and lain at the feet of all males! I never really thought about this making special routes to avoid harassment, simply, as stated earlier, I always took great comfort in the companionship and protection afforded by a beloved dog.

This foolish threat eventually caught up with this nasty Palestinian American doctor who made it and cost her her position at a reputable hospital where she had worked for years. She made it specifically against Jews; not a very smart idea.

Comments?

Again, comments? Selfishness personified? And this happens every day to women.

 Find the spelling mistakes. There are two of them. What a moron!

Flugennock Says: 

As the 2020 Presidential campaign cycle rumbles to life, let’s consider this sage advice from Robby Mook ~ famous to many as the guy who ran a $1.5 billion Presidential campaign into the ground:

Beware: Russian operatives will try to divide Democrats again in the 2020 primary, making activists unwitting accomplices. 

 2020 resolution: think before you like or share. It might be foreign propaganda, not “news”.~ Robby Mook, on Twitter, 12.19.18

…and there you have it ~ a big, hot sloppy load of Cold War drama queen queefage. Cripes, did he compose this himself, or was it an intern? It’s as if he was trying to channel Stan Lee or something. The only thing missing is “evildoers”, but Junior Bush pretty much used that one up.

So, the next time some devious stranger tries to attack Beto O’Rourke by bringing up his piss-awful voting record, remember: they might be Russian. And if you pause to consider Beto’s entirely non-progressive voting record instead of blindly buying into the hype, then you might be a Russian, too. Mwwoooooaaahhh ha ha ha ha ha haaaahhhhh. Now, ve are takink care of Moose and Squirrel.

Those toads were hoping for more than a ride from this snake. Apparently male cane toads have problems when it comes to discerning the female of the species in the heat of their need to breed.

 Dragon Power?

This is an impressive portrait of the President. An accurate assessment of things today.

Spring will come.
