Happy to hear you got your wallet back intact. The world is lucky that the majority of the humans on it don't act on all their bad thoughts.

Trump is also constrained by his own morTality!

That certainly would've made more sense!

somewhere,

buried in a clogged artery

in the world's ugliest man,

there is a tiny little clot

struggling to break free.

I believe in you, little clot

go, be free

I can't take any credit....saw it posted somewhere and thought it deserved to be reposted. Glad you enjoyed it!

First and most important: YUMMMM!!! FOOD PHOTOS!!! Nice to see those tonight.

Second: Living in Minneapolis, I'm seeing a lot of comments about the recent murder, as well as about the safety of immigrants, that claim it's all about obeying the law; just obey the law, and you have nothing to worry about. This, from people who follow a man who claims he doesn't need to obey the law. So much WTF. I guess the law only applies to "liberals."

Earlier I saw the breaking news that the Pentagon committed 3 crimes when they attacked suspected drug boats, back in September--and learned a new word, "perfidy," referring to these war crimes. And, then I saw that word appear again here! (I'm trying to figure out a clever way to casually drop it in a conversation!)

"Asked in an interview with The New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Trump said, Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me." I find his answer downright terrifying. Between having no morality to speak of and an increasingly addled mind, I can only say, God help us!

On a positive note, glad you got your wallet back and it's nice to know that there are still good and honest people in this world of ours!

He has no morals, and his mind is turning to slime. Why is he still in office?? Who is REALLY running the show these days? Jeez, it's a miracle our country is doing as well as it is.

Blessings to the good patron(s) of Kickback Jacks! So glad you got your wallet back, and intact! :) Your meals look wonderful - great choice of the sweet potato fries, too. Not only yummy, but lower glycemic index and better for your blood sugar. Kudos on all that weight loss, Clay!! You're impressing us right and left!! <3

Who is really running the government? The peoples' choice; Steven Miller, of course. Or Peter Thiel.

Yesterday I read Rick Wilson's How it Stops, How it Ends, a prediction of all the work that will be involved restoring our country to what it was supposed to be before the advent of DJT. It's on substack and possibly free, but in any case while I was reading your blog I thought to myself how did we allow such corruption to overtake our country in the first place?

We have been shocked as each new horror took place only to be replaced by a new one so that it's been impossible to catch our breath. But for me the events last week and the killing of Renee Good are a step too far and something not to be forgotten or forgiven.

According to People Magazine, an August 2025 exposé by The Atlantic's Nick Miroff reported, "New deportation officers at ICE used to receive about five months of federal-law-enforcement training. Administration officials have cut that time roughly in half, partly by eliminating Spanish-language courses."

"Academy training was shortened to 47 days, three officials told me, the number picked because Trump is the 47th president."ICE training which was supposed to be 5 months has now been shortened to 47 days.

Speaking of which, where are the Epstein files?

When I first saw that comment that he would be constrained only by his "morality", my thought was the same as yours ... WHAT morality??? He has none! Great job on keeping your glucose down! Mine was 55 this morning and 490 tonight -- I need to do better! Good 'toon and great post, Clay!

Clay Jones's avatar

We must be using different methods to measure our glucose.

Jill Dennison's avatar

Nah, I'm just lazy about taking my insulin and eating regular, healthy meals these days. You're doing great, though!

What is scariest are those behind the BBB. How many years did it take for them to put all of this together, how to get around the law, put their henchmen in place, get dirt on people in high places so they can be controlled. Trump is a slime but just the creepy diversion. Someone recommended not to say "trump" but instead "republicans", (and the lower case is on purpose), to make it clear that we hold the entire republican party responsible.

David Yohalem's avatar

Mustn't forget Newt Gingrich, Richard Nixon, Lee Atwater. And, of course, that most pseudo of pseudo-intellectuals William F. Buckley. They, at least, can be named.

Clay, that list of Trump's lies was exhausting to read (and remember). But your food! Look at you, keeping on!!! So proud to see you keeping on!! I declare, Mr. Clay, losing weight, eating well, and tooning and blogging excellently! I wonder if he is just that dumb that he meant mortality cuz he has been wondering about heaven...Anyway, great one today. Keep on❤️

Great and very accurate cartoon.

I also got a letter from Neilson, I think it had $10 in it. I looked into what you have to do to participate. Get this, you have to wear a monitor that captures all sound around you. You wear monitor at ALL times. The monitor acts like Sound Hound and determines the TV shows and music that you hear. They said that they don't capture your voice,but I don't believe that. I kept the $10 and said no thanks!

Go Clay!

Still haven't spent my dollar from those radio ratings people I got in September. They then sent my wife a 20.

Perfect — the Liar, Cheat and Pedophile with multiple convictions for fraud and sex abuse wants us to believe he has any morality. He has zero constraints on his depravity. The only constraint now is that his lunacy and dementia are becoming more and more obvious as he goes off the deep end—hopefully to oblivion. Our hope is that he doesn’t take us with him.

Perfection. And I am terrified every minute of every day.

Good to hear of your progress on the health front, and of the honesty of whoever found and turned in your wallet.

On that other subject: if he didn't wield the awesome power of the US Presidency nobody would take this guy seriously about anything important. Spot-on cartoon.
