SOME OF THE CRIMES BEING INVESTI-GATED IN THE BIDEN IMPEACHMENT PROCESS.
CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION REVEALS THAT THE FBI HAS BEEN COVERING UP EVIDENCE OF BIDEN FAMILY’S INVOLVEMENT WITH BRIBERY SINCE 2008! FBI = Fuggeda Bout Integrity.
FBI SENIOR COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE MAN CHRIS MCGONIGAL, WHO WAS LINKED TO THE ATTEMPT TO FRAME PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FOR COLLUDING WITH RUSSIA, HAS HIMSELF JUST BEEN SENTENCED TO 50 MONTHS IN PRISON FOR HIS OWN ACTUAL COLLUSION WITH PUTIN’S RUSSIA. Sometimes the wheel turns slowly, but it turns. More HERE. Someday maybe the people fraudulently going after Trump now will face similar outcomes.
JOE BIDEN’S DAUGHTER ASHLEY IS THE LATEST BIDEN TO BE FOUND OWING BACK TAXES. But it’s difficult not to feel sorry for Ashley given the way her diary revealed that her father Joe took “inappropriate” showers with her when she was a child. The Bidens claimed the diary was stolen, you’ll recall, not that its contents were untrue. More HERE.
JOE BIDEN’S DISASTROUS ECONOMIC POLICIES HAVE DRIVEN HOMELESSNESS NUMBERS BACK TO THE SAME HIGH FIGURES AS UNDER GEORGE W. BUSH. More HERE.
A TERRIFIC ARTICLE CALLING OUT THE CLUELESS, OUTDATED AND UTTERLY USELESS PEOPLE WHO RUN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. We need alternate parties.
GERMANY’S FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONAL COURT RULES THAT VOTING IRREGULARITIES REQUIRE REDOING THE 2021 FEDERAL ELECTIONS IN 455 GERMAN CONSTITUENCIES. Yet many Americans still choose to ignore our own problems with election integrity.

A SESAME STREET CHRISTMAS CAROL (2006) – This 46 minute special, which presents Oscar the Grouch as the Ebenezer Scrooge substitute, opens and closes with some very Christmassy scenes of artificial snow falling on the Sesame Street set.

RUGGIERO AND THE ENCHANTRESS ALCINA – When we left off last time around, the Emperor Charlemagne and his armies were still engaged in their war against the recent Muslim invasion from North Africa and Spain, led by Agramant.
