DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST ROUND-UP OF NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS

A current events roundup here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog coming to you from an America where Republicans need doused with a bucket of cold water and forced to look at their barely-existent “majority” in the House now that the California Slow Count is over. They don’t have the same numbers they thought they had on election night.

JOURNALIST SHARYL ATTKISSON ONCE AGAIN EXPOSES THE BIASES OF THE CORPORATE MEDIA’S MAKE-BELIEVE “FACT CHECKERS.” I still consider Attkisson to be America’s greatest actual journalist since Ida Tarbell.

CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE COURAGEOUSLY ADDS HER VOICE TO THOSE CALLING TO EXPOSE ALL THE CONGRESSMEN – FROM BOTH PARTIES – WHO USED TAXPAYER MONEY TO PAY SEXUAL (AND OTHER) HARASSMENT SETTLEMENTS WHILE IN OFFICE.

FOR OVERSEAS READERS, this Slush Fund that goes back years has long been exposed but because figures from BOTH gangs of white-collar criminals are involved Congress has “bipartisanly” ignored it. At least SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer money was spent on those settlements and representatives like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others who keep speaking out about it get attacked and ostracized and ridiculed.

Greene, Thomas Massie and Lauren Boebert are among the few demanding names of the offenders be made public since taxpayer funds were used. This is just one of the reasons why Greene and Boebert in particular get subjected to so much trashing and ridicule by their colleagues, especially through dubious leaks against them.

FOR JUST A FEW OTHER REMINDERS OF THESE BIPARTISAN COVERUPS OF ATROCIOUS CONGRESSIONAL CONDUCT: The Congressional Bank Scandal more than 30 years ago, in which elected white-collar criminals FROM BOTH PARTIES were sticking taxpayers with overdrafts on checking accounts of Congressmen. *** The BCCI Scandal and the earlier Savings & Loan Crisis saw members of both major parties involved in wrongdoing and/or questionable ethics.

AND YET ANOTHER DEMOCRAT COURAGEOUSLY LEAVES THAT INTOLERANT PARTY BEHIND AND BECOMES A REPUBLICAN. Representative Hillary Cassell joins so many of us in leaving the irrational, hatemongering mess that the Democrats have become.

DEMOCRAT JOHN MORGAN – A MEGADONOR TO JOE BIDEN – CONSIDERS LEAVING THE DEMOCRATS TO RUN FOR OFFICE AS A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE. Hopefully he will. Morgan praised Trump’s transformation of the Republican Party and called him “a f**kin’ genius.”

CHINA’S GOVERNMENT HACKED THE U.S. TREASURY. This happened on December 8th, but the outgoing Biden-Harris Regime covered it up until now. Have I mentioned lately that buying Joe Biden long ago was the best investment that China’s government ever made?

LATEST REPORT ON HOW JOE BIDEN WAS OBVIOUSLY UNFIT FROM DAY ONE. All of us who were paying attention noticed it during the 2020 campaign.

MORE BRUTAL TRUTH ABOUT JOE BIDEN’S UNFITNESS FOR OFFICE. Remember, he was marked mentally unfit to stand trial, but he somehow remained in the Oval Office.

GEORGIA ATTORNEY GENERAL TRASHES FANI WILLIS, ONE OF THE POLITICAL LAWFARE PERSECUTORS OF DONALD TRUMP.

AND MORE ABOUT JOE BIDEN’S LEGACY OF FAILURE AND DISASTER. Do the words “unfit and illegit” ring a bell?
