Old Man Yells From White House by Clay Jones

Making Twisters and Hurricanes Great Again Read on Substack

Of course, Donald Trump doesn’t take weather forecasting seriously. He thinks you can move a hurricane with a Sharpie. Or, he thinks only he can move a hurricane with a Sharpie, because everyone’s supposed to listen to the Almighty Trump, even hurricanes.

Naturally, the National Weather Service isn’t going to be spared from DOGE cuts. Who cares if we’re only about two weeks from hurricane season? Last season, there were 18 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and five major hurricanes. It was the first since 2019 to feature multiple Category 5 storms. Hurricane season 2024 also closed the most Waffle Houses (I made that up, but it’s a thing).

And it’s tornado season, bringing 42 deaths to Missouri, Kentucky, and Virginia over the weekend. Would there have been as many deaths if there hadn’t been cuts to our weather systems? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) are crucial for the nation’s emergency-response system. Hurricanes are easier to track, but tornadoes don’t give much time at all to prepare. And now, the offices that track them are understaffed because of Trump and Elon (an unelected billionaire bureaucrat).

Five former NWS directors from both Democratic and Republican administrations wrote an open letter on May 2, stating, “Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life.”

Climate scientist Daniel Swain said, “The net result is going to be massive economic harm. As we break these things, eventually it will become painfully and unignorably obvious what we’ve broken and how important it was. And it’s going to be unbelievably expensive in the scramble to try and get it back—and we might not be able to get it back.”

After the NWS’s first wave of firings and early retirements under the Trump regime, staffing at the service’s 122 field offices across the country has dropped to a 19 percent vacancy rate. Fifty-two offices are now considered “critically understaffed,” meaning a shortage of more than 20 percent. Some branches are down by more than 40 percent. The good news is that the budget for White House Sharpies has gone up.

There has also been huge reductions and cancellations of weather balloon launches, which are supposed to happen twice a day at every forecast office across the country. According to reports, they’re being saved for Trump’s birthday parade on June 14, which also explains the nation’s shortage of cakes and hot dogs (joke, but the parade is real). (snip-MORE, along these lines that should be read.)

Save Whitey by Clay Jones

Won’t you save an Afrikaner too? Read on Substack

Donald Trump set another trap for a foreign leader in the Oval Office. This time, it didn’t go like the trap set for President Volodymyr Zelensky (where Trump and JD harangued him for not surrendering to Putin), but more like the trap he set for a reporter, claiming a doctored pic of Abrigo Garcia with MS-13 labeled on his fingers was real.

This time, Donald Trump was trying to lecture South African President Cyril Ramaphosa about White genocide in his nation. This would be like me going to New York City and lecturing the locals that C.H.U.D.s are real.

I could tell them that I saw a documentary hosted by John Goodman on HBO back in the 80s proving that Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers are living in their sewers, leaping out at the right opportunities to grab old ladies while they’re walking their dogs for a late-night snack. The reason you’re not hearing about the C.H.U.D.s is that the liberal media and the Deep State are working together to hide it until you and your Schnauzer or C.H.U.D. meat. Why should they think they know NYC better than I do, because they actually live there? Hmph!

Did you know that last April, C.H.U.D.s ate 27,687 human beings, three Schnauzers, two poodles, and one of those skinny hairless cats that nobody is sure is an actual cat? I haven’t actually researched or verified these numbers, but someone on the internet said it’s true (that was me). And, most of those eaten were White people, because White people are the most persecuted segment of civilization in world history.

That has to be true because people like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Stephen Miller, Tucker Carlson, and crazy old White guys wearing MAGA caps on the city bus keep warning us about the Great Replacement theory, where White people are being replaced by Mexicans and other people with suspicious skin tones. It has to be true because I saw another documentary, this one hosted by Mel Brooks, showing a Black man screaming, “Where all the White women at?”

I’m telling ya, White people can’t catch a break anymore, especially the White billionaire president (sic). Just this week, he was forced to listen to a Black man in the Oval Office refuse to be browbeaten to agree with his conspiracy theory. What next? Is someone going to park a Venezuelan food truck in front of the White House on what was White Lives Matter Plaza (there’s one near L’enfant station and it’s amazeballs)?

Ramaphosa was sitting next to Trump, engaging in fake pleasantries, talking about golf and other assorted bullshit, knowing he was sitting in a trap. Fortunately for the South African prez, the trap springer is a moron (person, woman, man, camera, TV). Ramaphosa said “listening to the stories” of South Africans would help Trump better understand the bullshit he was talking about, except Trump doesn’t listen. But then, Trump had the lights dimmed (It’s a trap!), as a MAGAt aide turned on the TV and played a video of South African opposition politicians singing apartheid-era songs about shooting Boers, a term that refers to farmers or Afrikaners (the term for White South Africans). The video was several years old.

Drone footage showed supposed Afrikaner graves marked by white crosses. Then Trump whipped out newspaper clippings (probably all from Breitbart) about recent killings in South Africa, muttering, “Death, death, death, horrible death.” My gosh. It sounds like there might be an agenda here.

It must have been tough for Ramaphosa to sit still when Trump said White genocide is “sort of the opposite of apartheid.” Read the room, Grandpa.

Trump got distracted when he called NBC reporter Peter Alexander a “jerk” for asking why he accepted a $400 million plane from Qatar.

Trump said rhetorically, “Why did a country give an airplane to the United States Air Force? So they could help us out, because we need an Air Force One. That’s what that idiot talks about, after viewing a thing where thousands of people are dead,” that Trump had made up. He’s so touchy when called out for taking a bribe.

Seizing the moment and embarrassing Trump, Ramaphosa said, “I’m sorry I don’t have a plane to give you.” Not realizing that Ramaphosa basically said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have a bribe for you,” Trump said, “I wish you did. I would take it. If your country offered the United States Air Force a plane, I would take it.”

Trump is an idiot.

There is no White genocide. It’s a lie that racist Elon Musk (who was in the room with Trump and Ramaphosa) has been pushing for years. (snip-again, MORE along the same lines; it ought to be read.)

I See Stupid People by Clay Jones

There should be a test Read on Substack

There should be a test before seeking public office. I understand there’s on-the-job training, but this isn’t Taco Bell.

Even before Kristi Noem was the Director of Homeland Security, she was a governor. No governor in this nation should be as ignorant of the Constitution as Noem displayed yesterday. Don’t we already have too many Jeff Sessions in government? Even college football coaches should know what the three branches are.

Even at Taco Bell, I’m sure you’d eventually get shit-canned if you couldn’t keep track of the difference between a Chalupa and a Gordita. Fuck. Now I want some Taco Bell. Anywhos…

Democratic New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan is considered one of the mildest members of the U.S. Senate. I bet at least a quarter of my blog followers couldn’t name what state she represented until they read the previous sentence. Honestly, I might have fumbled it. Despite being one of the nicest in the Senate, Hassan still scorched Kristi Noem during a hearing yesterday. And Hassan wasn’t even trying. It’s Noem’s fault for not knowing her shit.

Maybe instead of doing photo-ops in front of a Salvadoran prison while wearing a $60,000 Rolex or doing those $200 million taxpayer-funded commercials of her saying, “Thank you, President Trump,” Noem should study up on the Constitution.

Hassan asked Noem a question a simple question. It wasn’t like she asked something difficult, like how many women have accused Donald Trump of rape and sexual assault. You don’t have to be a genius to know the answer either. Hassan didn’t hit her with a Navier-Stokes equation.

The question was: What is habeas corpus? Her answer was more embarrassing than that time Katie Porter asked Ben Carson about REO rates, and he thought she was talking about Oreo cookies. Dammit. Now I want some Oreos.

Noem’s reply was, “Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.”

Wrong. Not even close. It’s not even a nice try. If you asked this question as a part of a bar bet, you’d probably get a better answer and still win a beer. Hassan should have made this a bar bet, because at least she would have won a beer. My go-to question in a bar bet is: Name the only American president who was never elected.

Noem got her bachelor’s degree by taking online courses and earning college intern credits from her position as a member of Congress. That’s still better than Sarah Palin.

They say there are no stupid questions, but there are some real dumbass answers. Kristi Noem is a fucking moron.

Habeas corpus is a bedrock constitutional legal principle that safeguards individuals from unlawful imprisonment by enabling them to petition the court to review the legality of their detention. Or the short version, it’s the right to due process. That’s an acceptable answer. It’s an easer answer, and it’s definitely isn’t that Donald Trump doesn’t get to do whatever the fuck he wants.

Noem thought the answer was specific about deportations. It’s not.

After explaining habeas corpus to Noem, Hassan asked her if she supported it. Noem answered wrong again.

Noem said, “Yes, I support habeas corpus,” but she couldn’t stop there. She went on to say, “I also recognize that the President of the United States has the authority under the Constitution to decide if it should be suspended or not.”

Wrong again, Dumbo. That doesn’t even make sense if she believed in her first answer. She thought habeas corpus was the right of the president to deport people, and the Constitution gave him the right to suspend that right. What? It’s not surprising she’s dumb enough to carry $3,000 in her purse, and then to have it stolen right from under her in a cheeseburger restaurant. Shit. Now I want a cheeseburger. Anyways.

Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the suspension of habeas corpus “unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.” That’s not happening. And, the president needs the approval of Congress to suspend habeas corpus.

Trump is violating due process, he’s ignoring court orders, there was another ruling today that he’s violating court orders, he has placed a giant image of his face in the capital which surprises me that there hasn’t been a sudden rash of car crashes in the city, he’s taking bribes, and Kristi Noem is a puppy killer.

I believe that if you gave a citizenship test to assholes like Trump, JD Vance, Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, or any of the other idiots in this regime, they would all flunk.

If you have to take a test to be a citizen of this nation, then there should be a test for people who want to represent the citizens of this nation.

These tests are not difficult unless you’re a MAGAt dumbass.

Creative note: I’m kinda going through a fit this week with ideas. No, it’s not writer’s block, but too many subjects. I have several subjects I believe are nearly equal in importance, but I don’t have enough days. And no, I don’t want to draw several cartoons a day. When you draw too many cartoons a day, they will start to look like you drew too many. I can burn out.

I went with this one today because it’s timely, funny, I really liked it, and I’ll take almost any opportunity not to draw Trump.

I used five layers in Procreate to draw this cartoon. I hate using lots of layers while other cartoonists love them.

American Cancer by Clay Jones

America has a sickness Read on Substack

The Trump Cancer isn’t new. We got an early prognosis before he even ran in the 2016 presidential election, back when he began his birtherism campaign. He was a cancer before he went into the White House with Putin’s assistance in 2016, he was a cancer during the Biden administration, and he’s a cancer now.

Instead of 86ing this cancer (see what I did there?), nearly half of this nation let it rot and fester. This cancer will do what cancer does if not combated. It will destroy us.

Creative note: I got this idea while drawing my weather cartoon this morning. After yesterday’s Biden/Democrat cartoon, I felt good about it. I even nearly stopped the weather cartoon to do this instead (but I really loved “Old Man Yells at Cloud).

I was finally able to get to the post office today (your print is finally on the way, Greg, and Kathy…I got your check. Thank you), and started drawing this at a coffee shop downtown on Caroline. It didn’t take long to draw, and I colored it at home after taking the Fred Bus.

I didn’t know if this would work when I first thought of it. I didn’t know if the image would be clear. I didn’t know if a tiny Trump in the rump would be clear. But now, I do think it works.

Music note: I listened to Counting Crows, which isn’t a band I’m super crazy about, but Anna Begins reminds me of a past relationship. She talked in her sleep, she changed her mind, she changed my mind, and then she faded away.

Bone Spurs meets Bone Saw by Clay Jones

How does Trump sleep? Probably with a lot of fartin’ and snorin’. Read on Substack

Donald Trump loves asskissers because he is an asskisser. That explains why his lips are constantly puckered.

What If Trump Is Nuts? - LA Progressive — That’s just disturbing

During his speech in Saudi Arabia at the Investment Forum, he spent a good portion of it waxing non-eloquently about the awesomeness of Mohammed Bin Salman, the Crown Prince.

Trump said, “Riyadh is becoming not just a seat of government but a major business, cultural, and high-tech capital of the entire world.”

MBS was sitting in the audience directly across from Trump, and Trump asked rhetorically, “Mohammed, do you sleep at night? How do you sleep? Critics doubted that it was possible, what you’ve done, but over the past eight years, Saudi Arabia has proved the critics totally wrong.”

“He’s your greatest representative, greatest representative. And if I didn’t like him, I’d get out of here so fast. You know that, don’t you? He knows me well. I do — I like him a lot. I like him too much.”

The crowd applauded and giggled as Trump flirted with the man who directed the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist living in the United States for his safety. The crowd was made up of the world’s most powerful CEOs, like Jensen Huang, Larry Fink, and Sir Shit-for-Brains Elon Musk. So naturally, this audience lacked morals and integrity. What’s a little murder when it comes to making billions of dollars? These people, like Trump and MBS, aren’t the biggest fans of journalists.

I shouldn’t have to refresh your memory, but just in case, in 2018, Jamal Khashoggi was lured into the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, murdered and hacked up with bone saws by Saudi agents on the orders of Trump’s buddy, Mohammed Bin Salman.

After the murder, Trump said it was a “bad event,” and went on to defend MBS. He said, “Nobody has directly pointed a finger.” That’s a lie. Our intelligence agencies have “directly pointed a finger at him.” The United Nations has “directly pointed a finger at him.”

Trump also said that MBS is “innocent until proven guilty.” But MBS will never be proven guilty because they don’t have fair trials in Saudi Arabia. The nation doesn’t have due process, freedom of speech, human rights, or elections. Those are things Trump hates, which is probably why he spent another portion of his speech whining and lying about our elections. He lied that he won the 2020 election to people who don’t hold elections.

There will never be an investigation into Khashoggi’s death in Saudi Arabia. MBS will never stand trial. This man didn’t just order the murder, but that Khashoggi be cut into pieces with bone saws. Mohammed Bin Salman is a sick murderous fuck.

When Jared Kushner, who worked directly with MBS as a White House adviser, was asked about the murder last year, he said, “Are we really still doing this?” Jared said he hadn’t seen the US Intelligence report that concluded MBS ordered the murder of Khashoggi, finding fault with it because it was made during the Biden administration.

Of course, not reading the report made it a lot easier for Jared to accept $2 billion from MBS. Jared acts like being made to feel uncomfortable about accepting a $2 billion gift from a murderer is worse punishment than being sliced apart by a bone saw.

Under the Trump regime, our nation feels it’s more important to secure arms deals with Saudi Arabia than to stand up for our American principles. Plus, those arms deals deliver a quid pro quo as the Saudi Government will conduct golf tournaments at Trump golf courses, and invest in new Trump resorts in their nation.

Just remember that all the money Trump and Jared take from MBS is blood money.

How does Donald Trump sleep at night? Probably in a bed full of KFC and Big Mac crumbs.

Did I do that? ToonAmerica, the site using AI to steal my cartoons, is down.

Why is it down? Because of this.

The thieves can’t fight my reports or those from my colleagues, so they remove the videos, avoiding copyright strikes and saving their channel from deletion. They saved the channel, but now there’s no content because all their content was stolen copyright. That’s all they had.

I’m not declaring victory yet because I don’t know if the ToonAmerica YouTube channel will start over, create a new channel, find another scam to fuck people over with, or give up. But for now, they can’t monetize the cartoons they stole, at least not on YouTube.

But TikTok is something else.

Now I have to take them down on TikTok.

AmeriSatire, the other one stealing cartoons with AI, is still up, but they’re next on my target. Thanks to my friend and colleague, Pedro Molina, I now know that they’ve stolen one of my cartoons.

That means I can file a report on them. And why did AI make Flynn a donkey?

Creative note: I almost did my bone saw cartoon yesterday, but went for the Pete Rose one instead. I think this cartoon is better and more important.
