Jolly ‘N Joyful Green Monday!!!

Posted on by under animals, Bits 'n Pieces, cartoons, Holidays, Humour, Politic-Free Mondays

Good Monday morning, friends!  You’re all up bright and early and looking mighty perky this morning … must be that you’ve made up for the hour you lost a week ago, eh?  Well, we’re glad you’re here.  Did you have a good weekend?  It was bitterly cold here, so I stayed in while the girls went shopping to try to find Goose a new pair of shoes, and buy new pillows for their beds.  Then we had Chinese take-out on Saturday night, so overall it wasn’t a bad weekend.  And now, time to grit the teeth and get ready to face another week!  I think it’s supposed to be a bit warmer here this week, so maybe I’ll get out for a bit one day.  Joyful has been in the kitchen all morning preparing some treats for Jolly Monday, so let’s go see what’s on the table, shall we?   Oh … it looks like we’re just a few days late for St. Patrick’s Day!

Jolly wants to start with some cool pictures he found over at Phil’s Phun …

And we’ve got a few fun animal memes and puns for you …

Okay, okay … I hear you chanting “Cartoons, Cartoons, Cartoons” … so here you go!

Along with a few memes …

And we simply must have a cute critter video, yes?

Well, my friends, it seems our time is always too short!  But, we’ll be together again next Monday, so it gives us something to look forward to.  Keep safe this week, and be sure to share those gorgeous smiles!  Love and many hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!

Time For ‘Toons!

The time has come to share some of the political cartoons from the past week with you guys.  I must say that as much as we are bombarded with political drama, environmental crises, social disruption, it is a boon for the political cartoonists who NEVER have to go digging for a topic these days!  Oh, if only I had some artistic talent!  But alas … a five-year-old child can draw better than I can!  These ‘toons and artists show that we CAN find humour, even in the darkest of times.

As he usually is, Clay Jones is spot-on once again. Thanks, Clay, for setting the record straight. Now if only the Republicans would listen!

Silicone Valley Bank crashed Saturday with $212 billion in assets. It’s the second-largest bank failure in history. This prompted Cocaine Bear, I mean Donald Trump Jr, to tweet, “I don’t remember banks collapsing under Trump.”

Seaway Bank and Trust Company, Proficio Bank, First NBC Bank, Guaranty Bank, Fayette County Bank, The Farmers and Merchants State Bank of Argonia, Washington Federal Bank for Savings, The Enloe State Bank, Louisa Community Bank, Resolute Bank, City National Bank of New Jersey, Ericson State Bank, The First State Bank, First City Bank of Florida, Almena State Bank all collapsed during the Trump administration. In case you’re counting, that’s 15 banks that collapsed during the Trump administration. Just because Sniffles Jr doesn’t remember something doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Ten years from now and he won’t remember dating Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted, “They give money to Silicon Valley Bank. They give money to…

Jolly ‘n Joyful Monday Again!

Posted on by under animals, Bits 'n Pieces, cartoons, Humour, Politic-Free Mondays, Random

Good Monday morning, dear friends!  Did you all have a wonderful weekend?  I had a peaceful one, which is all I ask these days.  Chris and her band marched downtown in the St. Patrick’s Day parade on Saturday, so she was pretty tired after marching a couple of miles while carrying and playing a big bass drum!  Goose and I did mostly nothing.  But Jolly and Joyful had quite an adventure this weekend!  I’ll let them tell you about it …

We went ‘cwoss da pond to spend da weekend wif Uncle Woger and Aunt Sheila and help Uncle Woger do some yard work!  He calls it work, but I thought it was gweat fun!  We got to stomp ’round in da slush left by da snow, and dere was spiders an’ everything!  An’ we gots lots of good stuff to eat and yummy hot chocolate!

An’ while Jolly was stomping ‘round in the muck and slush outside, I helped Aunt Sheila in da house and we cooked and laughed and had da best time ever!  We love Uncle Woger and Aunt Sheila!  An’ guess what I learned?  On da other side of da pond, cookies is called ‘biscuits’!

Well, I hope you two are ready to work on Jolly Monday now … Joyful, don’t forget you promised the gang lots of bacon this week!  Let’s go see what’s on the buffet table this morning and then find some fun things to start this week out with a smile and a chuckle!

Let’s start the day with some interesting and funny signs …

And a few fun facts I’ve been collecting from over at Phil’s Phun …

Okay … okay … I hear you clamouring for the ‘toons!

And how ‘bout a few memes, too?

Well, folks, I think that leaves only one more thing … and that’s the cute critter video that Jolly scouted out for us this week!  I think you’ll really enjoy this adorable tiger cub …

We hope you’ve enjoyed your visit this morning and that those smiles I see on your faces will last you throughout the week!  Be sure to pick up a couple of spares from the basket by the door on your way out so you have some to share this week.  Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!!!

Every day there is something new that DeSantis or his henchmen have done to further stifle civil rights, human rights.  The latest is the board of trustees 9-3 vote to shut down one college’s diversity office.  Others will no doubt follow.  Seems to me that we can all see where this path ends.

Also in Florida there is Senate Bill 1316, titled Information Dissemination.  The bill would, in part, require political bloggers such as myself and some of you, to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics, else be subjected to a fine.  WHOA … think about that one for a minute.  Freedom of speech???  First Amendment???

Within the next 18 months, it is almost certain that DeSantis will have turned Florida into an authoritarian state where only straight, white, male, Christian people are welcome.  Why not just do it all at once?  Why doesn’t he just step up to his podium and say to the world …

“I hereby declare that the people of Florida are no longer free citizens, but wards of the state who will be strictly guided by the rules I and my brownshirts impose.  Those found in violation will suffer the harshest of penalties.  All federal laws are hereby revoked in the state of Florida and I will make all decisions from this point forward.”

Given his popularity in Florida and elsewhere, it would seem that a good number of people in this country are yearning for exactly such a dictatorship.

Meanwhile in Texas, U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales is facing censure by the Texas Republican Party.  Why?  Because he voted in support of the gun legislation last year that received bipartisan support in the wake of the mass shooting of children in Uvalde, Texas, that killed 19 children and two teachers.  Gonzales may also face ‘censure’ for his support of a bill to codify same-sex marriage.  I guess Texas plans to join Florida in being “the place ‘woke’ goes to die.”

Is all of this really what the people of this nation want?  If not, then why aren’t the people of Florida holding protests daily in front of the Governor’s mansion in Tallahassee?  Why aren’t they writing countless letters to their newspapers, peacefully making their voices heard?  By the time the nation wakes up, it may be too late.
