Its a beautiful day here in Florida
I am going to make a banana bread tonight. My neighbor brought me a bag full of Florida finger bananas. We will see how it comes out. I’m adding extra sugar to it because , it can never be sweet enough. Hey does anyone have a favorite recipe for banana bread?
DAILY MAIL: School board meeting descends into chaos over teachers comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk
This is the rights version of civil discourse under thug mob boss wannabe tRump. They shout disregard rules, insult Mike threaten and make people afraid but blame the left for it all. They ar thugs who get rewarded by being ever more oppressive. They do not want democracy and rules, they want their own way and the right to force others to live as they demand. It is the horrifying society they want and seems to be the plot of every dystopian move. They want warlords running the show Mad Max movie style. I want to know why the police were not directed to remove the man when he refused to follow the rules. Hugs

Political cartoons / memes / and news I wish to share. Bonus page 1 9-18-2025
Hello Everyone. First two notes before I do the cartoons. One I have not replied to comments in a week of so. I was not up to it and busy. But I should be able to start replying this after noon and tomorrow. Don’t worry if I don’t reply right way. I do love to hear what you all have to say and enjoy reading them.
The other thing is a few people have said that some of the cartoons don’t display and that the link is broken. Barry in New Zealand is an IT expert who has sent me an email on it. I will post it after this for anyone that can use the method he describes. These cartoons are all from the same site the one that Barry tells me is the one that the links are broken unless he uses a VPN. Cagle.com, and that is sad because those are some of the best ones. I have been posting them in the classic mode. This batch of cartoons will only be from the Cagle site but I will do it on the block editor mode to see if that will solve the problem. Plus I will be posting two versions of each one to see if that makes a difference. I just realized that there may be a way to embed them that automatically does to the URL what Barry suggested after the first two. One thing that would help is if the cartoons don’t display for you leave a comment and let me know the country you are in. Thank you. Best wishes for all and hugs for those that want them.
Hi Scottie. Not sure of this helps, A large number of image links are broken and won’t show unless I use a US hosted VPN, as I have described before. But I have found another way, and that is to slightly modify the URL:
https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299916/830/becs_robert-f-kennedy-jrs-hobby-.png?ssl=1
is a broken link. Trying to open it directly results in the message “We cannot complete this request, remote data could not be fetched”, but truncating the URL to:
https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299916/830/becs_robert-f-kennedy-jrs-hobby-.png
and bingo! Just chopping off “?ssl=1” is all it takes to allow the image to display correctly. Likewise, changing:
https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299938/830/rick-mckee_avoiding-the-state-of-the-world.png?ssl=1
to
https://i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com/299938/830/rick-mckee_avoiding-the-state-of-the-world.png
allows that image to display. All the broken links are the same: All begin with “i0.wp.com/image.cagle.com” and end with “?ssl=1”
Now for the cartoons
virgin author , honest !
I’m on now. I think I might start by saying how my mother greeted me in the morning. “Good Morning Merry Sunshine”
THE GUARDIAN: Texas State expels student who reportedly mocked Charlie Kirk shooting at campus vigil
They are trying to silence the free speech of the left, while embolden their side to become even more vile. Patel the FBI deputy Director called democratic senators Cowards and barons, shouted down and mocked democratic senators. The right seems to want the ability to say what ever horrible insults, lies, and misinformation they want about the left / minorities / the LGBTQ+ community but when the left points out what the right is saying it is the left who the right attacks as inciting riots or crime. Authoritarian play book 101. Vilify the other side and when they react make them the boogie man. Hugs
