This original sketch by the late great Pat Oliphant hangs in my home. He spoke at a cartoonists convention I was intending. He was as gracious as he was sharply brilliant. Damn I am so grateful I got to meet him in this life.

This from a reader: "You have been one of my favorite cartoonists since I arrived in Tucson 43 years ago but your "wordsmithery" is even more sublime. I look forward to reading many more delightful rants, heart rending reflections, and snarky columns!" daviwfitzsimmons.substack.com

I represent America. The first Fitzsimmons came to NYC in 1861 and settled n Five Points. In a decade he was arrested for armed robbery and sentenced to 10 in Sing Sing. Got out. Started a construction business, bought a home with a view of the State of Liberty as she was being assembled in 1886.

Why's the Right apoplectic over the victory of Zhoran Mamdani?Trump the bloated billionaire gasbag was never a "populist". The Fascist oligarchs and Theocrats fear the rise of a true populist.

Trump the lazy corporate welfare parasite is more of a socialist than NYC's Mamdani could ever hope to be.
