Wow! You must’ve hit their hot buttons. As far as I know, pardoning one’s family WOULD indicate crimes were committed!

Spare us the preening and self pity, Mr Varvel. Spare us the litany of falsehoods.

A few days ago you posted false accusations against Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass. You accused her of being responsible for thing the city supposedly did nearly a year before she was elected. You accused her of being responsible for actions taken by agencies which were not part of city government and not under her control. You have been called out for these falsehoods, and refuse to correct them. That is dishonesty.

The first time you posted this cartoon, you faulted Biden for allowing Michael Byrd, the officer defending the Capitol who shot Ashli Babbitt to "elude justice," citing pardons for the Jan 6 committee and its witnesses, even though Byrd was not a witness and did otherwise receive a pardon. You have not corrected this. That is dishonesty.

The Lord hates lying lips.

Too much of what you posted here is also dishonest. You claim that Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was unfairly treated because he was not in Washington on Jan. 6. Will you next tell us Osama bin Ladin was unfairly treated because he was thousands of miles away from.NYC, DC, and the whole USA on 9/11?

Enrique Tattoo was arrested on Jan. 4 On both weapons charges and for his role in Proud Boys attacks on four DC churches, including an incident where he is seen burning church property on video. As a bail condition, he was ordered to stay out of the city. He later pled guilty in a plea bargain. On Jan 6, he was in Baltimore, coordinating Proud Boy violence by telephone. That was part of the crime that got him his richly deserved two-decade sentence . "I was jyst giving the orders" is neither justification nor excuse. Caiaphas didn't hammer the nails in himself.

You say that very few of the "BLM"" protectors were arrested. But the AP reported nearly 10,000 arrests in the first week. Other estimates reach 14,000. As of June 2, 2020 LA reported 2700 arrests, Chicago and NYC each reported more than 1700, Dallas nearly 1000. That is not "very few."

You say that Biden's,pardons of his family members is an admission of guilt. That is a,morally shabby claim at best. Trump pledged to appoint a,special prosecutor to investigate the entire Biden family. JD Vance doubled down on the commitment. That some of the activities involved were unsavory exploitation of the family name is fair criticism, but unsavory exploitation of the family name is Trump's fundamental business model. After years of trying, Trump's Republican allies could find no evidence of illegal distribution of funds. And the Hunter Biden special counsel couldn't. Renewing these efforts would be the real "lawfare," and Biden's action just limits Trump efforts to hijack public funds for his own political profit.

Finally, it is absurd for you, Mr. Varvel, to claim a biblical basis for your support of Trump and opposition to Democrats. The only form of " biblical marriage" Trump supports is the p nd where rich a powerful rulers had multiple wives they could set aside and legions of concubines, behavior he emulated. While you claim followers of Jesus should reject *open border" polucies, you should remember that God burned Sodom and Gomorrah to the ground and slaughtered their citizens because "they did not help the poor and needy" And for their inhospitality to foreigners. You seem to forget the Word that Leviticus proclaimed and Ezekiel reinforced, "The stranger who resides with you Shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, For you were strangers in the land of Egypt, I am the LORD your God."

Mr Varvel, take your theology from the Bible's words, not from Jack Chick comic books.

Dear Gary?

Love the "The Pardon family" cartoon and your "For the record" is spot on! Thank you.

Liberals tend to suffer from poor memories or total disregard for hypocrisy. If the naysayers had the opportunity to draw a cartoon of what Biden did with his power of pardons, what would it look like?

Added to your "For the record" and the great comments you've received so far is the fact that President Trump requested but was refused to have the National Guard at the Rally to handle any mischief from folks attending the Rally for purposes other than expressing their peaceful discontent over the rigged election.

Keep the cartoons coming!

Thank you, Lou

I pray those who sent you hate mail will see the light of truth. I’m glad you answered & corrected the lies they spread from the fake media.

Maybe someday they will remember the woman who was killed by the capitol police Ashley Babbitt.

Thanks Gary for your work..Hypocrisy is running rampant..Liberals all of a sudden are experts on democracy and mlk jr and Christianity..They are all frauds along with the right and the only difference between them is their rhetoric Just one big grifting machine draining the treasury and spewing their lies while We the people must endure their bs..Tax revolt is the only way forward in my opinion..Start by calling them what they are greedy parasites..America has a parasite infestation and we like to give them names and make them our pets..Stop working stop buying their products and stop paying taxes and they will eventually turn on each other because a parasites gotta eat. The pain will continue until the students understand that they really Do Have Power but they will have to feel pain one way or the other.Let’s use our collective power and assist each other through the storm that’s how we take back Our country

He lost ME when he let those who clearly attacked Law Enforcement (like a taser to the neck) free. Wrong in so many ways.
