I had a great time doing a Q&A with Don of “Know Your Meme”. The interview was professional and fair and clearly tells my story of unwanted fame on the internet. You can read the whole interview here at “Know Your Meme” Thanks to Don and the rest of the staff!!
Know Your Meme Interview with Ben Garrison
Who is Ben Garrison?
A great big Montana thank you to David for telling my story so well! I love the way David drew me. Check it out at https://thenib.com/the-internet-s-most-trolled-cartoonist-91a92d9b7585
We haven’t had a new cartoon in a while, so Lewis C. contacted us and offered his work for posting. Many thanks to Lewis for his contribution! —Ben Garrison
Trump speaks what no one dare utter
Since when did wanting a secure border make one ‘crazy?’ How can one be ‘racist’ when the president refuses to uphold his sworn duty to protect the border and the lives of American citizens? Even worse, the president has become a traitor who openly encourages illegal immigration. If one objects, they are scorned and ridiculed as being crazy. That’s what has happened to Trump.
Like Trump, we’re for legal immigration, but the government allows millions to freely cross the border illegally. The newcomers drive down wages and soak up free social services. Perhaps Obama and Big Government want them here. They need more people to move in and vote for more big government no matter what—as well as voting to take away more liberties such as the 2nd Amendment. These illegal immigrants can’t be deported from ‘sanctuary cities’ despite heinous crimes committed (the recent murder in San Francisco, which Obama ignored). American citizens are treated like terrorists and when we complain we’re called racist. That’s what’s crazy!
Thanks to our guest cartoonist Lewis for another timely cartoon!
Donald Trump was so much fun to draw Lewis wanted to do another cartoon..Jeb looks pretty funny as the tortoise, great idea Lewis! Enjoy!
The Tortoise and the Hair
One thing you rarely hear about in the MSM–or from Obama–is Fukushima. Multiple core meltdowns have occurred and tons of radioactive water are dumped daily into the Pacific Ocean. Yet what do Obama and Hillary want to focus on? Climate change. Why? Because climate change will enable them to push a carbon tax in order to line the capacious pockets of globalists. It aligns with Agenda 21 and other UN plans to make humans feel guilty for being alive. Do you breathe? Oh my goodness…you are putting carbon into the atmosphere. You dirty human! Pay up!
Fox News attack dog Megyn Kelly
First of all: I’m not necessarily endorsing Trump. It’s just that the more he’s attacked by the neocon conservatives who run the Republican party, the more I want to root for him. Last night was example. All the other candidates fielded standard ‘presidential’ questions while Trump was mercilessly attacked—especially from Megyn Kelly. It was painfully obvious what she was doing—she had her marching orders from the neocons to make Trump look bad. Instead Fox News looked bad. More credibility lost from the mainstream media.

Trump the dragon slayer
One of the reasons for Donald Trump’s popularity is he speaks from the heart and not a teleprompter. He doesn’t need a script and he’s not afraid to speak bluntly. Most of all, he’s not afraid of ‘political correctness.’ He’s not afraid to say “Merry Christmas” or call illegal immigration ‘illegal.’ He’s for respecting our laws, which includes closing down the currently wide open borders. For that he’s called a nut and a racist and a hater and all sorts of things. He doesn’t care.
For too long we’ve been subjected to cynical, pre-packaged political robots who are installed to further the agenda of globalists at the top. They buy out and own the politicians. Well, Trump can’t be bought out. He’s already rich. Lobbyists will not be able to control him. Personal scandals? He’s fearless. His life is already an open book. We know about his marriages and affairs and it doesn’t matter. Because instead of walking delicately on politically correct eggshells, he fearlessly stomps his feet and says “Enough!” He wants to stop exporting jobs overseas. He wants to stop making crappy deals such as the one Obama and Kerry just made with Iran—a deal that didn’t even return American captives. A deal that allows Iran to do their own inspecting. Deals where we give our leverage away for nothing while giving billions back to a country bent on hating America and destroying Israel. I doubt Trump would have made that deal.
Trump is used to dealing and getting things done. Telling blunt truths is apparently is not politically correct in either party, but so be it. Many Americans find Trump’s approach to be very refreshing—including me!
It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club.” –George Carlin

The Trump Tango
Donald Trump continues to increase his commanding lead in the polls. There are a variety of reasons for this. For one thing, he’s not politically correct. I suspect most Americans, like me, are becoming very tired of being called ‘racist’ merely because they don’t want to go along with the New World Order. That phrase was first voiced by the first George H. W. Bush. To be sure, Trump comes from the 1 percent, but he’s not controlled by them. Trump seems to care about bringing back jobs and self-respect to the middle class. Will he do that? Can he do that? It remains to be seen.
Most Americans are sick of the Bushes. We’re sick of the Clintons. We do not want dynasties. America is not set up to be run by royal families. We are not supposed to be a monarchy. We are tired of politicians who speak from a teleprompter. We are tired of politicians who are afraid to debate without first running issues through focus groups. We are tired of the fake liars who say one thing then do the opposite. We are tired of the phony baloney politicians who are run by lobbyists, special interests and the big-moneyed oligarchs who really run the show. Trump, for all his many flaws, is genuine. He does not dance around issues; he wants to solve them. Americans are saying, “Let’s face the music and dance.” They want to do the Trump Tango. —Ben Garrison

Lew Rockwell writes,
“Once again the Fed’s bite has failed to live up to its bark. Despite months of expectations that it would finally raise rates for the first time since 2006, the Fed continued to sit on its hands while pointing to some unspecified date in the future when all the economic and financial stars will align in a way that makes a 25 basis point increase appropriate. Am I the only one getting bored by the repetition?”
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2015/09/peter-schiff/the-weak-and-utterly-dependent-economy/
No, Lew, you aren’t the only one. I’ve been following their farce for quite a while. The Fed keeps barking about a rate hike wolf, but that’s all it is—barking. If the rate hike cycle DID return, the wolf would blow down the Fed pigs’ house of straw. There’s simply way too much debt built up and rising rates would make that debt worse. It would crash the economy still further.
Savers are desperate to get some kind of return on their money. They get a fraction of a percentage while at the same banks gouge people with an average of 18 percent on their credit cards. The banks create money out of thin air due to fractional reserve banking and the people get the shaft. And before you tell me it’s the peoples’ fault for getting in credit card debt to start with, let me say many can’t find a job and if they can it’s part time and/or close to minimum wage. The under 5% employment the Fed brags about? More smoke and mirrors and data distortion. In other words, they’re lying. The economy is not humming along, or they would have raised interest rates years ago.
A record number of years at zero interest rates has not helped the economy. It has only helped the the super rich get richer. Besides, if things are so rosy as the Fed tells us, why the perpetual ‘emergency’ zero rate position? The Fed continues to lie about economic data to help prop up their market and to pretend they’re ‘in control.’ They’re losing control and they have no more ammo. They have no leverage. They no longer have any credibility. They can’t lower rates without raising them first. They’re pushing on a string. They’re kicking a can down the road. They’re pretending they’ll raise rates while remaining terrified by the prospect. They want to keep their corrupt casino game going for as long as possible. It’s a game that benefits an elite at the top while impoverishing the middle class.
Yellen even talked about sparking inflation. That is clearly against the Federal Reserve Act and when the Fed says its inflation goal is 2 percent annually they’re really saying, “If you save $10,000 today, we want it to be worth $9,800 at the end of the year. The missing $200 is theft. Quoting Karl Deninger, “It is a giant middle finger erected toward every person in this nation and has stolen trillions of dollars of your, my, and everyone else’s money over the last 100 years.”
http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=230679
The Fed’s mandate is to keep money stable. Instead, since the Fed got established just over 100 years ago, they devalued the dollar 98%. They installed a gestapo-IRS to intimidate Americans. The IRS is the real wolf in this situation. The Fed also created booms and busts instead of preventing them. The Fed is an abject failure.
It’s time to end the destructive sham known as the Federal Reserve along with the pernicious IRS. Return the oversight of money to Congress where it belongs. —Ben Garrison
