I find that I am often the first commenter when a new ‘toon inspires.
It is not that I want to be first, quite the opposite as I prefer to respond to others as well as the episode itself.
But here is what has happened over these last years; this place and this creation of Muir’s has become a daily need as it speaks to me as it speaks to so much of what is important in the world and my world. So my daily habits have changed to accomodate the new posting, staying up until midnight to see it where otherwise I might hit the sack a half hour or even an hour earlier.
But I’m old and midnight to midnight thirty is about my limit, so therefore I find myself reading and often commenting soon after it hits the presses so to speak. That’s a little weird I guess but I really wouldn’t have it any other way. DBD has become just that important to me and I would sorely miss it if it were gone. Thanks CM.

While they do have voices, they are not reasonable and are more attune to nails on a chalk board.
Someone, possibly a guy, got a vasectomy to avoid bringing children into this era of climate chaos.
Between this and the abortions I can see why libs need the illegals to replenish their numbers. Better to have a stream of migrants suffer to support them in the hell to come than their own kids.

Wasn’t that what France was trying to do with immigration when they created their NoGo Zones for native French people?

It’s also the reasoning given by the leftists in German government.
You skipped a step. The French were trying to bring migrants in as servants. They overshot and the migrants took over portions of the country. The NoGo Zones weren’t official, just the end result of normal humans walking through Sharia districts.

When I was younger I wasn’t particularly interested in having kids. I thought why bring them into this world? Well if WE don’t replace ourselves, THEY will replace us. To an extent there is a duty to leave behind the best replacements we can. Having no kids also promotes a certain amount of apathy about the future… “as long as I get mine, who cares”. Not a good outlook, and it’s shared by too many today. Having kids means we DO care about the future.

I’ve put off having children out of concern of the financial aspects of raising them. Popular figures thrown around put the cost of raising a child at around $250k. Just recently I went digging and realized that the popular number is BS as it counts the child in for an equal share of your housing, transportation, and similar costs…things that you’d already be paying for as a single or a couple.
I have sneaking suspicion the “popular” number has been pushed as a subtle way of discouraging us to have children when younger, or having them at all.

“Someone, possibly a guy, got a vasectomy…”
Well, who can tell anymore? In today’s America, things that aren’t physically possible are still politically possible.
Remember when this was considered humor, before it became a deadly serious part of the DNC platform?
Who cares or knows what the hell France thinks or does? They usually serve as a great example of what NOT to become and what NOT to do. Their WWII surplus rifles are always a good deal, though–never fired, and dropped once. As Charles De Gaulle once said himself–“How do you govern a nation that has 240 kinds of cheese?”
I am not pessimistic about the USA’s future. Conservative-to-moderate Americans will not sit still for the refried Bolshevism being belched by much of the Demmunist avant garde of late. These same hard-working tax-paying folks will not pick up the rifle until and unless the Bolshies start the music first, and the response to such idiocies will be short, immediate, and violent if the Hammer & Sickle Psychos shift their delusions from pipe-dream status to operational/action. “A rifle behind every blade of grass…..” And that is why the antis clamor so loudly to disarm law-abiding citizens so incessantly–unplowed killing fields are dangerous places to enter.

The EU is destroying the culture of the member nations.

Governor Newsom is a Bay Area guy. I doubt if he could find Los Angeles City Hall if it fell on his foot. We’re only the biggest city in his state, but he seems to think L.A. is part of some foreign nation.
The good news? Rats are showing up in government buildings in Sacramento, too. It turns out we ARE part of the same state.
The voice of reason… so many jokes just write themselves…
If only I wasn’t so distracted by the news of the apparent “suicide” of Jeffrey Epstein which apparently occurred shortly after a ton of documents about him were released… and he was removed from suicide watch only a few short days after his previous apparent suicide attempt… and a mysterious dysfunction/failure of the cameras in his cell…
