Government Sh*tdown

REPUBLICANS HAVE CHOSEN TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT RATHER THAN EXTEND HUGELY POPULAR TAX CREDITS THAT HELP TENS OF MILLIONS PAY FOR HEALTH INSURANCE.

Sign: Sorry, Were CLOSED
YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK
HAS GREAT HEALTH COVERAGE

PREMIUMS WILL SOAR FOR FARMERS, RANCHERS, SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND SELF-EMPLOYED PEOPLE.

Farmer: I MAY BE SELF-RELIANT, BUT I CAN'T DO SURGERY ON MYSELF!

MEANWHILE, TRUMP IS GIVING $40 BILLION TO AN ARGENTINIAN MADMAN WHO WRECKED HIS OWN ECONOMY.

Milei with chainsaw: WHEEEE!
RRRR! RRRR!
PLEASE HELP.

THERE'S A MORAL IN HERE SOMEWHERE:
IF YOU HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO FANTASIZES ABOUT DUMPING FECES ON AMERICANS…

#USA #Trump #ShutDown #SNAP #cartoon #karikatur

Karikatur. Uncle Sam rennt und hält sich dabei einen Teller mit der Aufschrift SNAP über seinen Kopf. Ihm folgt ein Junge, der ebenfalls Teller und Besteck mit sich führt, einen der Teller hält er sich schützend über seinen Kopf. Nur ein schwarzes Mädchen bleibt wie angewurzelt stehen und blickt in den Himmel, von wo eine braune Masse hinabstürzt. Abgeworfen von einem Düsenjet, der als schwarze Silhouette am oberen Bildrand sichtbar ist. Der Teller des Mädchens ist ebenfalls mit SNAP beschriftet. Uncle Sam, der seinen rotweißgestreiften Zylinder beim Fliehen verliert, ruft den Kindern zu: Kids, the President! Run!!

On this day in 1920, KDKA in Pittsburgh began regular broadcasting. It is considered by many to be the start of commercial radio broadcasting in the U.S,

Here's a cartoon I did for CQ Magazine in November 2020:

#hamradio #cartoon #history #KDKA #radio

1. Westinghouse engineer Frank Conrad, 39, got into ham radio to win a bet! “I’ll bet my watch is more accurate than yours!”
2. In the workshop above his garage in Wilkinsburg, Pa., Frank built a receiver to pick up the time signals from the U.S. Naval Observatory and verify his watch’s accuracy.
3. In 1916, Frank got his license (8XK) and was soon a popular leader in local ham circles.
4. Frank tested the 8XK transmitter with music from records the family piano.
5. Schedules for 8XK’s regular “air concerts” were printed in the local newspapers.
6. In the fall of 1920, the ARRL set up an experimental nationwide network to relay results on election night … and they included Frank’s station, 8XK.
7. By then, however, Frank’s employer had applied for a commercial license and was ready to take over his broadcast schedule.
8. On election night, Frank was standing by at 8XK in case there were any technical problems … but KDKA’s first broadcast on Nov. 2, 1920, was “F.B.” (“fine business”) and the station has now been on the air 100 years!
