My sweet boy is home. He’s still not feeling too great. No seizures since last night, but possible liver damage to monitor.
If we wouldn’t have gotten him help when we did, he definitely wouldn’t have made it.
Thank you again for all your love and well wishes for him!
Any positive vibes or prayers you can spare would be greatly appreciated. Been at the emergency vet all day.
Charlie had a severe heat stroke and isn’t doing so well. He’s currently stable but not out of the woods yet. Praying we’ll get good news in the morning.
So, everyone's up in arms over the latest scare, hantavirus. It's the viral sensation-a-sweeping the nation, with the usual gang of idiots scared "tharn" over it. The same fools scared over this hootenany are the ones still wearing masks over the last overexaggeration.
This one has extended so far as to have three deaths on the good ship Hondius, a cruise ship that no longer has a friendly port to call in, due to their brush with the en vogue communicable disease of 1993. Now, I was there, in New Mexico, when the Four Corners Outbreak occurred. There was quite the panic then, along with some extensive, Dalek levels of exterminations of the rodent population, as it is caught through their excrement.
If this is the next pandemic to come down the pike, it doesn't bode well for their plans. Hantavirus has been with us in America since the outbreak in 1993, and we have weathered the storm. This, too, shall pass, I think.
Now, they claim it is a strain that passes between humans, but how long has this disease been around? This would be something that Toni-Tone Fauchi would be grinning ear to dopey ear over, yet it's something we peeps have been dealing with for a looong time.
But I suppose we can call the plague ship "The HANTIUS," eh?

This one is liable to ruffle feathers.
Something that I have been noticing in recent months is the proliferation of bad blood posts on here, full of spite and vitriol. I noticed it first on @RazorFist 's replies, but these attacks extend to my Instagram friend Melina (melinasconservativeclubhouse) with a moderatesized following, where someone accused her of being A.I. I don't get much hate, for the most part, as I am too small , but I do catch some flack when I respond positively to those folks that are on the zeitgeist naughty list.
Then I started doing some delving and saw something peculiar. I would check out their profile and see that their follower count was almost invariably small, only dozens to single digits. It seemed odd to me.
While there are legitimate reasons for puny numbers, my theory is that many of them are sock puppet accounts, for the sake of anonymity due to their vileness, and also to falsely inflate the contra-stance's numbers.
What is their endgame? Do they hope to drive them off the internet? Do they expect them to run away like craven cowards? Not likely, as these are seasoned campaigners, all.
Due to my alignment with these folks, I am certain that people will get angry. I just hope that it is merely disagreement, and not friendship ending.
Suggestions for future cartoons are always appreciated in the comments.
I was trying to figure out a way to put a twist to the headline of the day, that being Eric Swalwell vacating his congressional seat, when @RubenGallego dropped this pearl in my lap.
Gallego claims that he was "deceived" by Swalwell, stating that his flatulency was leading a cunningly hidden double life, carousin' and a-whorin' with reportedly dozens of female staff. Lemme posit this query: Do you buy that line? 'Cuz I sure don't.
Dudes were best buds, enacting a bromance for the ages. Running campaigns, contributing to said campaigns, attending weddings, riding camels shirtless in the Qatari desert (no, really!).
These bosom buds are so linked, I can't help but wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes, what the man from Galicia really knows.

Saw this one from @SebGorka , and couldn't resist.
The folks that track oil tankers have noticed an interesting occurrence. Many have changed their headings, and instead of going to the Persian Gulf, they're heading to OUR Gulf.
Now why on earth would that happen?

Now, I don't want you to think that I am a regular peruser of @politico , but a headline from Google caught my eye, stating that Brian Cole, the (alleged) January sixth bomber, was trying to get out of prosecution by, get this, claiming the aegis of the blanket pardon to the J. sixers, who were rounded up, railroaded, and jailed for years for being ushered through the Capitol Building.
Of course, this is as re-re-ridiculous as the kid that eats paint for fun.
Several discrepancies exist with this, chiefest of which is that Cole's misdeed was done on the FIFTH, not the sixth, and he was charged AFTER the pardon was issued. Now, I understand that the defense lawyers have a fiduciary responsibility to their client, and must attempt all avenues to clear their client, but this tactic is laughable, it screams "last ditch" to me.
One cannot blame the defense of at least not trying.

This one is courtesy of reporting by @TheQuartering , so thanks, Jeremy.
AOC is under investigation for misuse of her campaign war chest. She spent over $20K on "leadership training," with a psychiatrist. Thing is, this particular psychiatrist has no training in leadership, but PTSD and anxiety. He's also notorious for his extensive prescribing of ketamine, a substance that Cortez mocked @elonmusk for using.
So, do we have a prairie dog called irony poking his nose out of a hole in some remote pasture in the Great southwest? It might be chittering a tune that spells discomfort for the squadette, though since I know how congress works, fingers will wag, but not much else.
Suggestions welcome in the comments.
Someone on X said that "MAGA didn't win the Civil War." Maybe. Maybe. But they sure weren't Democrats!

Part the second of our fashion inspired journey, we have the poodle skirt. Guaranteed to keep those paradise minded little chauvenists at bay. DOWN, BOY!!! BEHAVE! accompanied with a fetching little sleeveless blouse, Bobby socks, and wingtips, and you have your go-to number for the spring season. Available in sizes teacup to royal.
Thanks again to the lovely Melina (melinasconservativeclubhouse on IG) for modeling this truly beautiful and functional ensemble.
I have at least one more in this series, so stay tuned!
Yet another one for our canine fashion week. For those who do not care to carry pups with you... well, for one thing, what on earth is wrong with you!? For the second thing, perhaps this scent might be in order, able for any potential religious zealot assailants to back away, pointing and shouting "haram!" to any passerby, whether they care or not.
Of course, the incomparable Melina (Melinasconservativeclubhouse on IG) will take it in stride, knowing that only fools don't like dogs.
Nose plugs and shampoo sold separately.
I have one more, to close out doggie fashion week, and then more political topics to tackle. If you have an idea, like this one suggested by Ms. Melina's ever so clever mother, drop them in the comments.
And so, we conclude our canine cavalcade of Haute Couture with the prime exemplar of why we do this in the first place.
We have here the "barka," for nights when three dogs just won't do. Designed to be both warm and repulsive to those that would wish to share the primitive song of their people with you at the point of a scimitar, it truly represents the cutting edge of design and fashion. How do the pups stay, you ask? We'll, we tell them to, in a commanding and authoritative voice. They are very well-trained.
The talented and beautiful Melina (melinasconservativeclubhouse on Instagram) has been a sport all week, putting up with shenanigans.
Just so you know, if I see any of my designs walking down the runway next year, I'ma sue yo' butt.
Suggestions welcome for next week's cartoons in the comments.
As many who frequent my feed know, I love using personifications of nations when I can, and this one is no exception. I have drawn Columbia (U.S.), Marianne (France), and Britannia (England) several times each, and while this old cartooning device is outdated, I don't care.
Meet Hispania, Spain personified. Her Castle-like crown is the giveaway in this case, wholly unique in the nation's pantheon. While I prefer to admire them when I depict them, this one isn't a very happy occasion.
For, you see, Spain is in the thrall of a cloud-cuckoo-lander communist named Pedro, who has crossed paths with the good ol' US of A. He's refusing use of Spain's bases for the liberation of Iran, which, in my opinion, is no bueno. It seems to out of sheer cussedness that such a churlish act is perpetrated, especially to a NATO ally.
And so @realDonaldTrump has pulled the plug on trade with Spain. How effective it will be, remains to be seen, but Hispania might be finding out soon.
Suggestions welcome in the comments.
This week, as a post Fashion Week denouement, I thought I would propose some ideas, out of both esthetics and practicality. The model, the charming Melina (melinasconservativeclubhouse on Instagram) will be taking us through some fashion ideas that will look fetching and repels any Islamic enthusiast that may wish to... eherm... be a bit too forward with her virtue.
So prepare for a week of avant-garde shenanigans that would be at home in New York, Milan, Paris, or Sheboygan, cranking the dial up to fatwa levels of offense.
