NIghtmare At The White House: Strong Women

I knew I had to draw something about this.  The 116th Congress saw more women representatives being sworn  in this January than ever before, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi. I find it exhilerating and hopeful. Others may not, and so I drew this three panel cartoon about what the current occupant of the White House might be worried about.  Trump may not be thrilled about this change in Congress. 

Everything Seems To Be About Winning

I cannot help but think that to Trump, everything seems to be about “being a major player,” making deals, setting up companies, winning, winning, winning. Some of his cabinet appointments point in that direction. Every now and then, Trump talks about other things, but rarely does he talk about freedom of expression, ideals, and what makes America truly great (and always has): inclusion, diversity, idealism, freedom.
I probably could have gone even further with this drawing, and made Lady Liberty encrusted in gold, like the woman in Goldfinger. That woman in the movie died of suffocation from the gold on her skin.
I have hope for America.

The Tyranny Of Email: Hillary knows best

hillary-and-email

With the latest scuffle over Secretary Hillary Clinton’s server and her long-ago admitted-to poor choices in that regard, we are hearing about emails again. Not Hillary’s, but someone who wrote to someone who is close to her. We think. We don’t know, the FBI isn’t sure. Rumor has it that Anthony Weiner is somehow involved, a man with shockingly (possibly criminally) poor choices when it comes to sending things out into cyberspace.

We don’t know what the latest emails contain, they may be duplicates. What we heard from the FBI is simply that they exist. But it has stirred up Donald Trump and his supporters, that we know. We’ll see whether or not there is any there there; Mr. Trump, a man with plenty of his own there there, is certain there is.

Remember the photo of Secretary Clinton on her blackberry and her dark glasses, and many of us were proud of a woman in her fifties being so hip (and still is)? Now I bet she wishes all along she was a ludite.

Emails are burdensome to all of us. But our burdens are nothing compared to Secretary Clinton’s email headaches.
