Political cartoons / memes / and news I want to share. 5-2-2026

I apologize that this is such a short post for one of these.  I want everyone to know I really did try as hard as I could.  I am exhausted and very tired to the point that Ron has twice looked into my office and caught me sleeping.  I am also in a lot of pain.  Because of that right butt / leg pain Ron is again asking me to figure out how we can afford the back / spine surgery.  I am holding off hopeing that my pain doctors can do more epidurals/spine shots that will help me with that pain.  I do not want spine surgery f I can avoid it.  On the other side Ron held me today when he came back from his sister’s place and was very affectionate.  I asked if he wanted to have “relations” tonight and his answer was a strong yes if you want to my love.  So I need to finish this and go to bed to await my wonderful loving husband.  Hugs 

 

 

Ok maybe not the right place but with all the attacks by the right Christian nationalists I think it is a great place to put this.  Far too many men / people are now in the closet and denying their true selves because of the hate being pushed against them.  Us older LGBTQ+ people faced this hate before, this hate constantly driven by religious bigotry and we beat it / over came it.  The haters are having a last gasp resurgence, but that will wane and fade as even the non radical right doesn’t support discrimination against their LGBTQ+ children / grandchildren / friends / exstended family.   Hugs

The Senate today inched closer to confirming some pretty alarming U.S. attorney nominees.We're talking people who have never tried criminal cases, who fueled lies about the 2020 election being stolen from Trump + even participated in the Jan. 6, 2021 protests. http://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-…

HEGSETH: On Iran, we are in a ceasefire right now, which I understand means the 60 day clock pauses or stopsKAINE: I do not believe the statute would support that

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-04-30T18:02:54.848Z

Today, Pete Hegseth told the Senate Armed Services Committee that “the 60-day clock pauses or stops in a ceasefire” and therefore the Iran War is not subject to Congressional authorization. Here’s why he’s flat wrong:

Mike Levin (@mikelevin.org) 2026-04-30T22:55:06.632Z

 

 

 

 

The War Powers Resolution says the President has 60 calendar days to get approval from Congress or end the fighting.The U.S. Navy is blockading Iranian ports right now. You cannot claim the fighting is “paused” while American warships are stopping Iranian ships by force. Both things can't be true.

Mike Levin (@mikelevin.org) 2026-04-30T22:55:06.633Z

A naval blockade is an act of war. This is legally nonsense. If the war is over, then Iran won and US lost. By any strategic measure. Regime in place. They “own” the Straits. Uranium remains weapon-usable and in Iran.

Jon B. Wolfsthal (@jonatomic.bsky.social) 2026-05-01T18:47:26.913Z

 

In the decades since this law was written, no president of either party has ever tried this argument. Not Reagan, either Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden, or even Trump in his first term. Hegseth made it up because the deadline is tomorrow and he’s looking for an easy way out.

Mike Levin (@mikelevin.org) 2026-04-30T22:55:06.634Z

 

Susan Collins crossed the aisle today and said the 60-day clock is “not a suggestion. It is a requirement.”Pete Hegseth does not get to rewrite the law because following it is inconvenient.The clock does not pause. Tomorrow is the deadline.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​www.wsj.com/politics/pol…

Trump’s ICE Detention Scam | Katie Blankenship | TMR

This  guest is an immigration attorney with expertise in ICE tactics and in ICE detention.  She dispels the misunderstanding and the myths created by the tRump administartion.  These detentions are civil detentions not criminal and entering the country with out inspection is a class B misdemeanor.  Another thing she mentions is the ever-increasing costs for detention which is currently $200 a day per detainee and there are over 70 thousand detainees.  She gives a lot of other useful to know information including the brutality in the detention centers.  For example they are taking detainees out in the Everglades and forcing them to stand with hands shackled in the hot sun being eaten by misketoes and bugs.   They are putting people in “hot boxes” and leaving them there in the hot Florida sun with no water or medical treatment when they are let out.  She describes many more examples.  Hugs


Katie Blankenship, an immigration attorney from Sanctuary of the South, a grassroots legal services organization that provides critical, affordable legal defense to immigrant families affected by detention, deportation, and abuse, joins Sam to discuss abuses at the Alligator Alcatraz ICE detention center in Florida. To find resources or ways to help those targeted by ICE in your area you can visit Freedom for immigrants, American Immigration Council or visit the ACLU to find your local affiliate.

David Cross FED UP With Bill Maher’s BS

This is an important clip that exposes the fallacies that Maher and the right push about trans people and the democrats supporting the LGBTQ+ and progressive causes such as equality of religions and government working for the people.  Maher tried to push the idea that kids become trans only due to being pushed into it by adults, but when corrected with facts and examples he has no retort except to make more debunked claims.  The idea that simply buying a child the clothing they want is somehow making them transition.    Every study indicates that cultural issues that republicans try to use against democrats make no difference to how people vote.  Only die hard haters who were already going to vote republican care about the woke cultural issues supported by progressives.  Yet many Democratic candidates run from even tepid support for protecting minorities due to the made up idea of courting the center that doesn’t exist in any large size now.  People leaning right are not going to vote democrat who is republican lite when they can have the real full republican but any votes that are gathered by turning on the LGBTQ+ / Trans / minority communities are countered by the loss in left / progessive votes. Maher talks about how girls who were tomboys in the past would be “forced” today to become trans.  Emma talks about how she was a tomgirl who wanted to wear boys clothing and was allowed to do so but no one tried to suggest she needed to change her gender.  He mistakes allowing a kid to express themselves is some how forcing them to be trans.  I love how completely supportive of trans people / trans children and up on the facts / reality the people on the show are. Hugs

Health update for Scottie

I almost went to bed at 3 pm, as I had not gone to bed or slept today.  Ron begged me to please try to stay awake as he was at his sister’s and insisted when he got home he would make supper.  

I struggled to stay awake and fell asleep many times at my desk until Ron got home.  I helped him prepare supper while falling asleep.  He did offer that if I couldn’t stay awake, he needed me to try to eat a quick sandwich.  But I was able to help help by peeling the potatoes.  

Ron made the four pork chops we bought today with shake and bake that I love, and he made brown gravy to go with the potatoes.  And he made corn.  I was so excited that I took one pork chop and a huge amount of potatoes and gravy.   A big mistake but I was looking to what I most enjoy.  

I cut up and ate about a total of about five pieces of the pork which was grand.  But I wolfed into the potatos.  I ate most of them but soon ran out of steam.  I only had a couple of small spoons full of corn. Then I sat there trying to make myself eat more.  

Ron walked by my office and noticed I was struggling and asked me how I was doing.  I explained to him how happy I was for the meal and how good it tasted … but I was already full.  He looked at what I ate and was thrilled.  I was like why, I took too much and did not finish it all.  A sin in my childhood that could get you beaten.  

He picked up my stuff as I helped and told me “Scottie you ate and ate a lot for you at this time of night”.  “I was very afraid you would just go to bed with out eating like you have done for weeks”.  He was very happy I ate.  But I am so tired I have to go to bed.  He is taking care of everything because when I tried to help I almost fell down.  I wanted to do comments today and to tell the story of Ron’s catheterization, but instead I got two days of the cartoons / memes roundup done.  So if I fail tomorrow at least they will be there for everyone.  Again much thanks to Ali who has been so wonderful not only with her posting, comment answering but also in sending me encouraging emails.  I would have closed the blog if not for her efforts.   Hugs

Tyson makes great points how the privacy issues dealing with trans people and also the sports issues.  He suggests ways to handle each of these situations.  He explains it is better to solve the issues instead of forcing everyone to live as was done in the past.  Hugs
