The Washington Post published then deleted a political cartoon depicting a spokesman for Hamas after the paper received backlash. Many readers felt the cartoon, which was published on Wednesday, was racist and offensive — promting WaPo opinion editor David Shipley to issue an apology. The cartoon by Michael Ramirez, which can still be found online...

Another Joe Biden staffer is apologizing for past insensitive remarks, including one in which he said he wanted to tell a girl to make him a sandwich “just to see the look on her disgusted feminist face.” Michael Ramirez was recently hired as a “digital organizing director” in Arizona, and the Arizona Daily Independent found a number of tweets that would likely trigger any leftist. “I want to tell a girl to make me a sandwich just to see the look on her disgusted feminist face,” he wrote in 2012. “Let’s talk about dat ass….lmaooo,” Ramirez said in 2014. “It’s...

On Tuesday Joe Biden announced another round of staff hires in Arizona including Digital Organizing Director Michael Ramirez, who over the last decade has tweeted statements that are sexist, racist and anti-cop.

DUMPING DOLPHINS I have to say, after the pathetic display by the Miami Dolphins yesterday - and I'm not just talking about their usual pathetic play on the field, but rather, the silly seated protest during the national anthem - I am sad to say, the time may have come to finally hang up my fins. To be completely fair, I must confess, I actually stopped watching professional football almost two decades ago... Don't get me wrong, I am still a longtime Dolphin fan... It's just they haven't played professional football since 2002. I remember the golden days of the...

Michael Ramirez talked about his career as an editorial cartoonist and his book, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Obamacare.

By John Beifuss of The Commercial Appeal Already a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Michael Ramirez, former editorial cartoonist for The Commercial Appeal, this weekend received the cartoon industry's highest honor. Ramirez, 55, won the Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year during the 70th annual "Oscars of cartooning," the awards ceremony of the National Cartoonists Society, the world's oldest, largest and most prestigious organization for professional cartoonists. The black-tie event took place Saturday night at The Peabody, marking the first time the cartoonists had met in Memphis. As the 73rd winner of the Reuben Award (a total...

A Letter From Michael: It's with great sadness that I announce the end of the Investor's Business Daily daily print edition and the end of a great editorial page, as you know it. I am proud of the work that we've accomplished over the last ten years that I have been co-managing the page and the many years before that. Wes Mann & company have constituted the finest editorial team- one that delivered real news and real issues without the filter of political correctness. It was a beacon for the truth. I was proud to work with them and our...

Word came this week that the National Institutes of Health has suspended therapy-dog visits to sick children at its clinical center because of a 25% reduction in staff, even though volunteers run the program. It's comforting to know, however, that the House and Senate gyms are still open, that the government had enough money to buy a mechanical bull and, while the feds barricaded the open-air National Mall and threatened to fine and arrest those who walk there, they'll let an immigration amnesty rally take place on those same grounds.

No one can accuse two-time Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist Michael Ramirez of holding back — or of Investors Business Daily of a lack of courage in publishing him. His latest take on the Democrats’ headlong rush to electoral oblivion in the midterms, and perhaps beyond, is dead-on accurate. Backbenchers are being asked to blow up their political careers in order to save President Obama’s term in office. But expect people to strongly object to the imagery and the declaration Ramirez uses. Provocative? Absolutely. But this isn’t insinuating that Obama is a secret Muslim or that Democrats are terrorists. It...

Investor's Business Daily cartoonist and Senior Editor Michael Ramirez won a Pulitzer Prize on Monday, his second win of the nation's most prestigious journalism award and the newspaper's first in its 24-year history. Ramirez won the 2008 award for a "distinguished cartoon or portfolio of cartoons published during the year, characterized by originality, editorial effectiveness, quality of drawing and pictorial effect." In awarding Ramirez, the Pulitzer panel lauded his "provocative cartoons that rely on originality, humor and detailed artistry." We couldn't agree more. "Michael is in a league of his own and at the top of his game," said Wesley...
