Jim Thompson

Jim Thompson drew his first cartoon at the age of four. It was Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble and it resembled a Pablo Picasso sketch. It took another 20 years and several rejections before a newspaper editor was impressed with his cartoons. He was hired by the Los Angeles Daily News as an editorial sports cartoonist and feature artist, freelancing with the Daily News for over two decades. Following the Daily News, Jim then freelanced as an editorial sports cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times. While cartooning for the L.A. Times, Jim collaborated with author and former Marketing Director for the International Olympic Committee, Michael Payne. Jim was asked to produce cover art for the award-winning book “Toon In”. Jim produced the cover art (and came up with the book’s title) and has several of his sports cartoons featured in Payne’s book. After leaving the L.A. Times, Jim had the itch to do political cartoons. He was hired by Townhall/RedState editor Jennifer Van Laar. Jennifer hired Jim to produce political cartoons and to write political commentary. Although Jim has earned several accolades and awards for his art, it was at RedState that Jim learned (via angry, grammar-challenged emails from leftists) that he “sucked” at art. During his decades-long career as a cartoonist, Jim filled the rest of his time as a trial attorney, a husband, and father of three. And, occasionally golfing. Jim and his wife Katrina have three sons. Their eldest is retired decorated Navy SEAL who served nine years in the SEAL Teams. Their second son is a music director and teacher, and their “baby” recently earned his PhD. If you want to contact Jim to let him know he sucks or, if you have a suggestion or have an occasional compliment, drop him an email at: jimmyTWriter@gmail.com

Pete Hegseth Carpet-Bombed Democrats Senators With a Masterclass in Discipline.

1 Trying cases was a mixture of fun and terror. Fun – when I was examining witnesses and terror when clients or my own witnesses would forget everything I told them. Occasionally witnesses would act like they were channeling Jack Nicholson’s character in a Few Good Men. Arrogant, condescending and rude with bursts of stupidity.

Cockroach Law

IF you want to sound “smart”, quote Shakespeare. “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers”. That sentence from Henry might  be the most quoted line from any Shakespearean play. An accurate sentiment to be sure but not a terribly practical thing to wish for. The line is uttered by a thick-headed murderous

Race Hustler ‘Smolletts’ For Votes, Get Busted By Texas Rangers

Jussie Smollett’s last name is now a verb. “Smolletting” connotes a race hoaxer. The invention of false racism didn’t start with Jussie Smollette. Getting sympathy from fake racism has been around for decades. The progenitor isn’t Smollett, he is just the most “famous” race-hoaxer. Even after he was found guilty he has never given up
