Daily cartoon / meme roundup: Happy New Year’s day and may your new year be grand

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Scotties world today

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It has been 100 years and we are still having the same hope. Lets hope this will be the year of decency and civility, reasonable discourse and understanding of reality. What is normal but wanting to live happy and well, wishing the best for others as we hope they are wishing for us. With malice for none but good will toward all. Scottie

My wishes to you and your family for a safe, healthy, science-based new year.

Republicans have perfected performative politics for the deplorables.

DeSantis is the opposite of leadership, totally derelict of his duty.

Here is my favorite Betty White Story.

1954.

She had a talk show which was very successful.

Then she hired a black tap dancer named Arthur Duncan.

CBS said “Fire him or show is canceled.”

Betty said “No.” Promoted Arthur instead.

Show canceled.

Last telecast: 12.31.1954
