The First Cowboy Song

A ribbon of chip seal traces the U.S.-Mexico border through an archaeological landscape almost beyond time. Here, where civilization in North America arguably began, the federal government plans to build a wall — an insult to the history embedded in every layer of stone along the Rio Grande.

You've Got to be Carefully Taught

A lot of teaching going on right now.

Flies With Honey

Does anyone think this is working?

Worshipping the Golden Jackasses

The boys who commissioned the statue and put money down couldn't seem to come up with the balance. The artist knew the administration's playbook all too well and hid the sculpture in a warehouse until the balance was delivered and the check cleared.

Yippee-Ki-Yay Wolf Blitzer!

After this, how many anchors and reporters can ABC and NBC hire?

A Plunger! My Kingdom for a Plunger!

I'm surrounded by disloyal officers...like Bondi.

Mighty Big Shoes and Banksy Unveiled

They lob insults at each other, immigrants, women, minority groups, the LGBT community, RINOs, and Dems - casting blame for high gas prices, inflation, unaffordable healthcare, skyrocketing Rx prices...yet they're too afraid to tell daddy to stick his Florsheims up his fat, mango-tinted butt.

This little adventure is worth every penny, eh?

Why We Fight...Oh, Hell, Who Knows?

So, really. Where is this going?

Operation Epstein Fury

Iran will no doubt retaliate by bombing the FBI filing cabinet.

Big Bend
