Gary Varvel: Love, hate relationship with Tesla
New Humor Me cartoon and devotional on the meaning of life
LEFTIST LOGIC
Remember when Democrats loved electric vehicles (EV) like Tesla and they wanted a EV mandate so that everyone would be forced to drive them?
Now radical Dems are burning Tesla car dealerships and terrorizing Tesla owners. Why? Elon Musk said, “They basically want to kill me because I’m stopping their fraud…they want to hurt Tesla because we’re stopping this, this terrible waste and corruption in the government.”

RIGHT VIEWS
VIDEO - Chuck Schumer admits to lawfare, “We did put 235 judges—progressive judges … last year on the bench, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time.”
The Federalist - Justin Evan Smith: Judge Boasberg’s ruling is just the latest example of a judge substituting his own political preferences for executive decision-making.
MEANING OF LIFE
I was interviewed for a documentary about editorial cartoonists recently and the last question I was asked was this: “What is the meaning of life.”
How would you answer that question?
Joseph Campbell said, “Life has no meaning. YOU bring the meaning to it.”
Leo Tolstoy said: “The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.”
Charles Schulz said it this way, “Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.” That is a true statement.
Albert Einstein said, “A life directed chiefly towards the fulfillment of personal desires sooner or later always leads to bitter disappointment.”
Comedian/actor Jim Carrey said, “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they never dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”
King Solomon said, “Meaningless! Meaningless! All is meaningless
Max Lucado said, “Philosophers can debate the meaning of life, but you need a Lord who can declare the meaning of life.”
So what IS the meaning of life? How would you answer that question? Let me ask it another way. What makes your life worth living? And before you answer that, let me ask this question. Will your answer to that question be the same when you are on your deathbed? That’s right. I said it. The fact of life is death. We’re all gonna die and then what.
Jesus Christ said it this way, “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their own soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?” (Matthew 16:26)
Hmm. To quote a line from our movie, “The War Within, “The value of stuff changes when you know you’re dying.”
Which brings me back to my answer to the documentary filmmakers question. “What is the meaning of life?”
The thing that gives my life meaning. That makes my life worth living will be the same today, tomorrow and a thousand years from now. My answer is, “Jesus Christ.”
In John 14:6, Jesus said: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one gets to the Father except through me.” He also said, “I am the resurrection and the Life.”
The Bible says in Colossians 1, “For by Jesus all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
So I said, Jesus created us. He sustains us. He loves us. He died for us to save us because he wants to live with us forever. Therefore, in quoting the Apostle Paul, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.”
When the philosophers of this world try to define life apart from the Giver of life, they may proclaim themselves to be wise, but they have become fools. (Romans 1:22)
