Gary Varvel: Schumer shutdown and Trump's renovation
Paid subscribers get: Humor Me winners, time lapse videos and a timely cartoon from my archives
This cartoon simply visualizes President Trump’s words when he called the Democrats “kamikaze pilots.” It captures the reckless political strategy we’re seeing in Washington—Democrats seem willing to crash the entire system if it means taking Trump down with them. Rather than steering the country toward stability and prosperity, they’re on a self-destructive mission driven by partisanship and Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Trump’s White House renovation has infuriated the Democrats — especially since his idea of “remodeling” includes tearing down the wasteful and unconstitutional programs that have piled up for decades. When asked about the noise, Schumer and company are in a panic — but for taxpayers, that sound might just be the welcome noise of progress.
DEVOTIONAL
Verse of the Day: “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” — John 15:5 (NKJV)
Have you ever turned the key in your car and gotten… nothing? You might assume it’s a dead battery, but sometimes corrosion on the terminal posts prevents a good connection. Clean the corrosion, and the car starts right up. Similarly, are you connected to God?
Jesus uses the analogy of a vine and branches to teach us about spiritual vitality. A branch can’t bear fruit if it’s disconnected from the vine. Likewise, we can’t produce spiritual fruit—love, joy, peace, or good works—without staying connected to Him. So, inspect your fruit. Are you bearing “much fruit,” as Jesus desires? If not, check for corrosion in your connection to God.
What’s blocking you? Maybe you think you don’t have time to read the Bible or pray, yet hours slip away on social media or TV. If God feels distant, ask yourself: Who moved? Identify what’s weakening your connection, repent, and remove it.
Reconnect with Jesus today. Build a habit of daily Bible reading and prayer. Get involved in a Bible-preaching church. A strong connection to the Vine ensures you’ll bear fruit that glorifies God and enriches your life.
