Love the Pandas! At least the Chinese can have a sense of humor when they lie.

The US government would drop a fragmentation bomb on them.

While it's not as many civilians as Gaza, the invisible war in Ukraine continues. Yesterday Ukraine shelled a ten story apartment complex in Belgorod, north of Kharkov in Russia. A section of the building collapsed, and later the roof of the building as well.

It looks the Ukraine war nearer to Kharkov is escalating, but it's too early for me to make guesses.

hey OB, you are a sketch... more entertaining than a 'laurel and hardy meet groucho marx' sketch. this dates me as an octogenarian, of course, but one still appreciative of a clever comic like you. thank you for lifting my spirits by following-up w/ your penetrating humour after our viewing of the devastating, emotionally debilitating foto of those precious palestinian bantlings trapped, crushed, and dead-forever by the zionist israelis and their IDF myrmidons. please come visit us on the north coast of mindoro island in the philippines so we can do more than just 'buy you a beer' at one of the multitude of restobars scattered across this jungle-clad island.

I'd love to. The only Filipino island I ever visited was Luzon, but I honestly doubt I'll ever go overseas again, not on our budget.

Heard rumors today (Moon of Alabama sources) that Turkey, Colombia, and Egypt are joining South Africa ICJ charges on Israel.....South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has some truly powerful presentations - see the anti-apartheid conference - taking Israel to task - she, Lavrov and the student protestors (high school as well as college now) are what give me hope.

Me, too. I hope the rumors are true, PP.

Unlike rumors of anti-Semitic gangs assaulting Jewish students, there is substance behind that one. Turkey's already embargoed trade with Israel, Colombia's already cut off diplomatic relations, and Egypt, well, Egypt's getting desperate to do SOMETHING.

They'll do it.

Mother's Day is a day meant for slaughtering mothers and children according to the IDF.

Every word of this one was like an old friend hugging me and telling me that I'm not crazy for wondering if we are all nuts. What's happening here? The truth is released all bare assed and revealed... Oh, where was it all this time? And why won't people recognize how many cycles it's had hiding behind propaganda.

More and more people are seeing through the propaganda now, I think mainly because it's so patently ridiculous in light of what is actually happening.

The "liberals" I know automatically stick their fingers in their ears if one mentions the unpleasant truth. They want to be ignorant. I remind them that the NYT, CNN and all of the other main media lied to them over and over about Iraq and never explained why or apologized. Just like the hordes that believe the evangelists these people have faith and want to believe.

Most of the ones we knew don't talk to us anymore. Flat-out refusal to vote for Biden made us outcast unclean. Their loss, as far as I'm concerned.

Fortunately, their numbers are diminishing. I really do know coworkers who had fallen for the liberal line for years who are feeling as enraged at the Democrats as you and I were not all that many years ago. The genocide is too much for them.

You fucking nuts that put more energy into something you have no control over, and is none yo business, deserve to be drop shipped to the country of your favorite cause. You got a big opinion about the war in Ukraine that bidand caused, you move there. You gate us real, you move to Palestine ( wherever the fuck that is.) it’s time start looking at our nation, and how our nation is a mess due to lying press,the Feds, woke fucks. And stop minding everybody else’s business. I’m sorry but if you hadn’t noticed, the greatest stretch of peace on earth in the last 100 years, was four years ago. Why? We was minding our own business.
