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

Clean up on Aisle 1

On Monday, Joe and Jill returned from another hard-earned Delaware vacation. While on that break, Joe “ordered” Congress to return from its vacation. Like so many things that seem to escape President Pudding Brain, there’s a thing called “separation of powers”. The president doesn’t have the authority to “order” Congress to do his bidding. While returning to the White House, First Enabler Jill and her empty suit Joe strolled toward Marine 1. It was about 100 feet in distance. With Jill leading that way, and maybe telling her husband “Left, right, left right” Joe struggled forward, like a frat-boy after an 18-beer bender trying to look sober. Left, right, left, right, left, right, left… I MADE IT JILL!!! https://t.co/PHBefWE8zU — Jim Thompson (@JimmySportToons) February 20, 2024   The media ignores his wooden-legged strolls as it ignores his wooden-headedness. Well, unless the media cleans up after he poops the sheets. Even by Biden standards, the smell of shit is getting hard to ignore.

Joe’s Dementia is Joe’s Dilemma

1 Comment /

1 According to Special Counsel Robert Hur Biden would not prosecuted. It wasn’t because Biden didn’t do the illegal acts alleged. He did. It wasn’t because Biden didn’t remove classified documents. He did. It wasn’t because Biden didn’t disclose classified documents to a third party. He did. It wasn’t because Biden stored classified documents in a secure location. He didn’t. In one case, Biden stored classified documents in a molding banker’s box in his Delaware garage; a place where his crack-addict son could rifle through them like he was looking for his lost bag of cocaine.  All of the things alleged, Joe did. But Hur let Joe off the hook because Joe wasn’t mentally capable of defending himself. A jury would likely see Joe as a sympathetic old man who needs a nurse not prison cell. Why send Joe to prison where he would just take up room in a prison cell? No, just let him walk. He won’t remember yesterday, let alone today. Biden uses his address on Navalny's death to bash President Trump, then his brain malfunctions pic.twitter.com/wOTNlzY8TK — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) February 16, 2024 The problem, of course, is that this doddering, clearly senile old man is the putative leader of the free world. So what to do? Perhaps if the election were not just months away, or if Kamala Harris wasn’t even dumber than Joe, Hur would have recommended prosecution but what we are left with is Joe mumbling and sleepwalking through the remainder of his presidency. He will, no doubt, take more vacations. 40% of his presidency has been a “va-ca” for Joe and Jill. The reality is, if Joe isn’t whisking off on AF1 to another vacation he will be calling a “Lid” a 7 PM – because Joe needs to retire to a warm glass of milk and bed. What runs through Joe’s melon at this point? Not a lot. Hopefully, he will be permanently “retired” come November.

Fani Got Paddled

1 I’ve practiced law as a trial attorney for 30 years. I’ve examined hundreds of witnesses.  I don’t recall anyone being as bad on the witness stand as Fulton County DA Fani Willis was on Thursday. It wasn’t on St Valentine’s Day, but it was a massacre just the same. On February 15, 2024, Fulton County DA, Fani Willis took the stand to refute the accusations of unethical and illegal behavior in her prosecution of Donald Trump, including appointing her secret lover Nathan Wade as special prosecutor. Instead of assuaging concerns, she managed to commit professional suicide. While on the stand, Willis did everything a witness is instructed not to do. She was rude, and condescending and added testimony that the examiner didn’t ask for. She was combative and ill-prepared. She threw papers and argued with the examiner and the judge. In short, she was a mess.  Fani inadvertently admitted to what appears to be clear violations of campaign finance laws and potential income tax evasion. She claimed that she used cash for just about every transaction including “paying back” her boyfriend-prosecutor. But “oddly” she kept no record of those transactions. She admitted to taking cash out of her campaign account taking that cash home and co-mingling it with her other piles of cash. None of added up. Everyone with two snapping synapses could see that she was lying.  Her testimony and that of her “special prosecutor” Nathan Wade were embarrassing at best and more likely admissions of illegal and unethical behavior. Either way, Willis and Wade have a few things in common. They both seem to have an allergy to telling the truth. They both love cash, hoarding that cash and they hate to keep records. And, they both appear to be incompetent at their jobs which may play to the benefit of Donald Trump. Both Willis and Wade are the types of attorneys that I love to have on the other side.
