The Summary

Part 2 — This diary includes over 30 editorial cartoons covering issues like the usual clownish shenanigans of the GOP, new contenders for the presidency, the dangers of deregulation, and the disaster that is the State of Floriduh.

I’ll try to post another 20 or more editorial cartoons tonight in the comments section of this diary. The issues covered are artificial intelligence, the state of the Russia-Ukraine War, and shooting down objects in the sky.

In Part 1 of this diary, I highlight some of the achievements of the former President of the United States — a man of unimpeachable integrity and decency who never stopped advocating for peace both domestically and around the world. In doing so, he became the most-consequential ex-President in history. Both critics and supporters would freely acknowledge that Jimmy Carter has set an example of how public officials should conduct themselves. The high standards that he has set for public behavior over many decades are unlikely to be surpassed anytime soon.

Contrast this man of peace to the violent atmosphere that proliferates much of the country today. For the second time in three weeks, I am sorry to note that I have devoted almost an entire diary to senseless gun violence. The editorial cartoons express sorrow, disgust, anger, and a distinct sense of helplessness about the issue of gun control. Every mass shooting is followed by phony “thoughts and prayers” but nothing ever really changes. Political paralysis seems to have set in among our elected officials and no one, it seems, can do anything to stop this cycle of violence.

Shouldn’t our schools be free of terror, safe places of learning, and not some place where young students evade shooters with automatic weapons? Will the killings ever stop?

Between the text and comments section of Part 1, there are over 50 editorial catoons in the diary. Between both diary parts, there are over 100 editorial cartoons.

Thanks for supporting these diaries.
