America’s defenders of the First Amendment have decided that a comic strip criticizing President Joe Biden’s transgender policies is more freedom of speech than Americans ought to be allowed to see.
The media conglomerate Gannett, which formerly used the slogan “A World of Different Voices Where Freedom Speaks,” recently banned the strip “Mallard Fillmore” from its publications, according to a report in The Washington Times.
Bruce Tinsley, who created the comic strip, said King Features, which syndicates his work, told him about the latest episode of America’s cancel culture at work
“It was a big shock. From what I’m hearing, it was unprecedented. My syndicate had never seen anything like it,” Tinsley said.

Except, height, weight and muscle mass.
OK...
I’ll confess that my memory, at 87, isn’t quite what it used to be...
Name one time in human history when the people advocating for banning books, burning books, and or censorship have been the good guys. Just one time, any time in human history. When have these people ultimately turned out to be the good guys? I’ll wait...
Hey!! it is Cousin IT.
HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS!
***************
Our officials are 100% honest, infallible and beyond reproach. They act purely in our interest and their motives can never be questioned. /sarc
Gannett doesn’t let FR post excerpts of their stuff, either.
Screeeewwwwwww ‘em!
Boycott Gannett!
PING!
Heh, heh-heh, period, heh-heh-heh . . .
It would be sick and evil enough without the fact that he has grandchildren! Can you imagine the damage that’s being done to them due to the life choices of this demented freak.
Biden’s fall will be a spectacular one. His odd combination of detachment, radicalism and hubris is going to result in the mother of all political downfalls.

Better download these before the book-burners scrub them for good
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a Mallard Fillmore cartoon. Our local commie rag certainly wouldn’t carry it. I think I will start going to www.arcamax.com/thefunnies/mallardfillmore every day to see the cartoon.
Look at what I found while looking for something else.

JUDITH: I do feel, Reg, that any Anti-Imperialist group like ours must reflect such a divergence of interests within its power-base.
REG: Agreed. Francis?
FRANCIS: Yeah. I think Judith’s point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man—
STAN: Or woman.
FRANCIS: Or woman... to rid himself—
STAN: Or herself.
FRANCIS: Or herself.
REG: Agreed.
FRANCIS: Thank you, brother.
STAN: Or sister.
FRANCIS: Or sister. Where was I?
REG: I think you’d finished.
FRANCIS: Oh. Right.
REG: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man—
STAN: Or woman.
REG: Why don’t you shut up about women, Stan. You’re putting us off.
STAN: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?
STAN: I want to be one.
REG: What?
STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me ‘Loretta’.
REG: What?!
LORETTA: It’s my right as a man.
JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA: I want to have babies.
REG: You want to have babies?!
LORETTA: It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.
REG: But... you can’t have babies.
LORETTA: Don’t you oppress me.
REG: I’m not oppressing you, Stan. You haven’t got a womb! Where’s the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA: crying
JUDITH: Here! I— I’ve got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans’, but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG: What’s the point?
FRANCIS: What?
REG: What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can’t have babies?!
FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.
Agreed.
And then we’ll get President Harris.
Probably about the same time World War IV starts with Iran and her allies attacking Israel. That’s gonna be a spectacular end to Iran’s mullahs, of course.
[REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.]
Excellent. There’s a lot of good stuff in the cartoons I saw.
I never saw “Life of Brian” - just some excerpts. I might have to watch that part.
