I’m a flag waving American. But, these days, find our UK conservative friends across the pond are facing many of the same battles we fave here.

Their outcomes can help us know or understand our outcomes and vice versa. I follow UK politics pretty closely. With that thought comes this:

After the pummeling by the Supreme Court Boris Johnson, i n his disheveled way, valiantly returned to Parliament today and knocked it out of the park. Of course, that means it went over the heads of Jeremy Corbyn and his Labour lot.

Stumbled upon an obscure 2018 Asian cartoonish film, ‘Boonie Bears: Big Shrink’. Thought it was OK until a bad guy described as a “Golden haired buzzard” that wants to take everything “from us all” appeared.

Had to move all the websites and this one got hit hardest losing 3 months of cartoons. I’ll do my best to replace those as soon as I can!

The West Palm Beach, Florida, story below makes me crazy!!! Brief comments below!

Ibis HOA wants to remove 168 oak trees

by Andrew Abramson

Al Vazquez, chairman of West Palm Beach’s Green Task Force, wishes his neighborhood had the same luscious oak trees that line the streets in Ibis, an upscale West Palm community west of I-95 off Northlake Boulevard. So Vazquez was stunned to learn that Ibis officials were planning to remove 168 oak trees and replace them with palm trees.

“We should be so lucky,” Vazquez said. “What these people want to be removed is just insane.”

Remove that canopy of trees and the folks in that subdivision will watch their air conditioning bills double or triple. Palms of any kind cannot provide the shade and cooling an oak can.

Sounds like realtors at work here. Nothing costs tax payers more than realtors, road builders and developers trying to make a buck.

And who would vote for a candidate dumb enough to buy a home in a swamp, which is what all of those western neighborhoods were just a handful of years ago.

Listening to John Mica on Fox News yammering on and on about how we need private business to do TSA duties. He says the private security businesses campaign contributions have nothing to do with his yammering. Yet, when asked about whether specific procedures & equipment should be shelved, he waffles, won’t answer specifically and starts talking about needing private companies again. Proving he’s in bed with the private companies, he won’t specify what methods should or shouldn’t go, so if the private companies start they can do anything they want. Including full body scans. Only when a private company becomes the arm of Government, the taxpayers can’t complain to the private business, because they are private. If you go to the politician, then they don’t want to do anything for fear of losing campaign contributions. Mica has done this in the past.

I’ve seen myself how MUCH, MUCH more expensive and less effective private companies are than citizen accountable government workers. Sure Government workers can be lazy slugs. But you can fid their supervisor, or Commissioner, or Mayor, etc. With a private company they just finger point back to the Government who hired them. I’ve gone or seen others go to Government folks to complain and watch as they typically point back to the private company. It’s also a way where the everyone can say it’s everyone else’s fault … and be right!

John Mica has been and still is a lousy bug out to steal our tax money to pay off his contributor buddies. Shame this “RINO” was voted back in. I can only hope Tea Party folks target him next time.

I tried to tell folks that Amendments 5 & 6 & 4 were for us citizens to have a say in Government. I actually had a builder tell me he didn’t want 4 to pass because he didn’t want people in the way of his making money from Government projects.

Here we see with 5 & 6 passing and the Democrats and Republicans are challenging our vote, as if they aren’t one of us. They don’t want the people in the way of gerrymandering. We citizens need to make sure they are NOT successful. Only we can keep these political parties in line. After all, whether they like it or not, they are us!

Here’s the story:

US reps. challenge Florida’s redistricting law

We have been pummeled in Florida by political phone calls. Specifically what are known as “robo-calls”, which are automated phone calls where you pick up the phone and no one is there except some digitally enhanced voice hawking some candidate. I’ve been fuming about it. It wasn’t until I saw Facebook posts about the issue from three friends (G.K. Sharman, Jennifer Huber & I can’t remember who the other is) that I realized I wasn’t alone and made this cartoon.
