A “shameful roster” of Republican House members overwhelmingly voted against holding Bannon in criminal contempt after he brazenly ignored a subpoena to testify as part of the investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection, the newspaper noted. The Republicans are “once again running interference for a lawless ex-president who tried to overthrow a valid election,” the editorial added. (Huff Post)….
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Cable news flickered on the flat screen television in Ruth and James Jones’s living room. The CNN ticker read: “Biden lowers spending bill price in effort to lure Manchin and Sinema.” The couple watched and listened.
They are raising two grandchildren, ages 10 and 17, on a limited income — James’s part-time earnings as an Applebee’s cook and Ruth’s Social Security payments. Like thousands of other West Virginians, their financial burden has been eased since July by monthly federal payments, championed by the Biden administration, to support families with children.

Pick and choose, if you wish, OR select all three, OR ignore the ravishes of selfish ignorance, the kind from which we eat our own and gorge on the sheer insanity of wishing that good never come our way! ------- So it seems Climate Change is just too icky to deal with now!

You AIN’T A BAD GUY, IF THE GUY YOU ARE BEING BAD FOR BRINGS IN THE VOTES! -------Ah, the sickening overly sour smell of a soiled Senator, still dank and dreary from bathing in the money that bribes can bring; kind of like a bad baloney sandwich, Senator Manchin, left out in the sunlight or is it the ashes of a polluted coal mine! Wealthy folk are in no mood for a Senator to represent all of the people!
