As of now, we’re still heading towards economic chaos thanks to Republicans who want to score political points. Apparently it’s hard to work with the Party of Crazy and Insurrection. (Formerly known as the Republican Party.)

The Biden administration is easing travel restrictions for foreign nationals who want to fly to the United States. Instead of an outright Trump-era travel ban on specific countries, like India and China, people on international flights headed for the U.S. will be required to show proof of vaccination for COVID-19.

In the weeks leading up to the California recall election, Larry Elder and Republican leaders were planting the seeds of an imaginary fraud conspiracy. Sound familiar?
Read MoreLawsuit Vigilantes: Not Just For Texas Anymore!
The Texas abortion law that was recently enacted clearly runs counter to everything established by Roe v. Wade. Rather than get hung up on the legal precedent of that li’l case, the conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court seemed more enamored with the “novel” way the Texas law skirts judicial review.

Let’s call “vaccine passports” what they really are: documentation that you will not kill other people because you have selfishly chosen to not get a COVID vaccine. Sure, if you want to be like a right-wing radio host and roll the dice by not getting the shot, that’s one thing. (It hasn’t been working out too well for those guys.)
Read MoreHow Biden Ruined A Perfectly Good 20 Year War, Part II
In the second installment of “How Biden Ruined A Perfectly Good 20 Year War,” we take a look at the various ways the past three U.S. presidents have tried to get out of Afghanistan. Spoiler alert: not very successfully.
Read MoreHow Biden Ruined A Perfectly Good 20 Year War
All eyes (for a minute) are on Afghanistan after the U.S. pullout turned to chaos. Yes, President Joe Biden, his administration and the Pentagon clearly screwed up the final withdrawal. They should have acted sooner to help people who aided the U.S.-backed Afghan government and our earlier efforts to prop up the country.

Thanks to guys like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, the delta variant will have an even easier time causing sickness and death. Extremist politicians in Florida and Texas (and unfortunately a number of other states) are doing everything they can to block mask and vaccine mandates in government, schools and in the private sector.

Mandatory face mask restrictions are returning as the delta variant spreads across the country. COVID-19 vaccines are remarkably effective against the delta variant but unvaccinated people are getting infected with the new, more infectious strain of coronavirus. Far too many people still just don’t seem to get it.

If you were already furious about what happened on January 6th as violent Trump supporters took over the Capitol, listening to four police officers testifying before a House select committee will refresh your rage. Yes, there are two Republicans on the committee, but the leadership — and the party of Trump — wants nothing to do with investigating what happened on that terrible day.

As the delta variant sweeps across the United States and increases hospitalizations and deaths, far too many right-wingers are falling for anti-vaccine nonsense. Influential pundits and politicians on the right are undermining the push to vaccinate enough people to achieve herd immunity.
Read MoreThanks, Anti-Vaxxers!
Tucker Carlson of Fox News fame is leading the anti-vaxxer charge among the right-wing Republican set. Never mind that 99.5% of people who died of COVID-19 in the last six months were unvaccinated.
Read MoreBipartisanship in the Apocalypse
Amid a record-breaking heat wave in the Northwest and a long-lasting “heat dome,” President Biden and a handful of moderates in the U.S. Senate came up with a bipartisan plan for an infrastructure bill. Gone was nearly all of the climate change portion of the bill that Biden proposed, which would have rolled climate change solutions into a much larger bill.

Climate change and weather have once again collided in a way that is impossible to ignore. The “heat dome” currently sitting over the Pacific Northwest in the United States — and above this cartoonist — are offering homo sapiens another taste of what our future is if we don’t change our ways.
