So much happening these days … the looming (almost-certain) government shutdown, a former president [sic] up on at least 91 charges of breaking the trust of the people, major storms and wildfires ’round the globe, corrupt politicians refusing to honour their oaths, and more.  I don’t know about you, but it exhausts me some days.  The upside, though, is that it gives the cartoonists so much material to work with that they are working day & night to find ways to present the news in an artistic manner, with a bit of humour thrown in.  My files are once again overflowing, and I’m only sharing about half of what I have today — saving the rest for another day (probably tomorrow!)  I must say, though, that I will be glad when someday, hopefully in my lifetime, we can have an entire week without mention of Donald Trump.  We’d all be much healthier!
