Biden CONFRONTED by Fox About Classified Docs in Garage
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy recently confronted President Biden about the controversy over his being in possession of classified documents. Biden said that he takes classified documents and sensitive material seriously and that he and his lawyers are cooperating fully with the Justice Department's review. His lawyers reviewed other places where documents from his time as vice president were stored and their review has now been finished. But the president’s explanation was not good enough for Doocy. Peter blurted out, “classified materials next to your Corvette? What were you thinking?” The president kept his cool and followed up, “by the way, my Corvette’s in a locked garage. Okay? So it's not like it’s sitting out on the street.” The attempt to make any sort of scandal out of this or compare this to Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents makes no sense and ought to be confronted at every turn.
Matt Gaetz Interviews George Santos, Goes Horribly Wrong
Congressman Matt Gaetz interviewed liar Congressman George Santos on Real America’s Voice this week and did his best to rehabilitate Santos’s image. Among the wackiest takeaways was Santos claiming that he’s lived an “honest life” and has “never been accused of any bad doing.” During the interview, Santos acted as if he hasn’t already admitted to embellishing his résumé. Matt Gaetz, for his part, did his best to make Santos look good by saying other people in Congress have also been untruthful about their qualifications. Santos also avoided answering where his campaign funding came from, and instead just said it didn't come from Ukraine, Russia, China, or Burisma. Plenty of Republican lawmakers have distanced themselves from Santos and some have asked him to step down. But apparently, Matt Gaetz is perfectly fine leading the charge to allow him to stay in power.

Alabama AG: Women Can Be Prosecuted for Taking Abortion Pill
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall says that women in Alabama who use abortion pills to end pregnancies could soon be prosecuted. Alabama's new Human Life Protection Act criminalizes abortion providers however it also prevents it being enforced against people receiving abortions. Instead, Marshall’s office stated that Alabama could rely on an older law, the chemical endangerment law, to prosecute a woman who ingests an abortion pill to end a pregnancy. This goes to show that whenever you criminalize abortion, you directly attack the autonomy and sovereignty that women should have over their own bodies. Republicans used to claim that they wouldn’t try to punish women in a world where Roe vs. Wade was overturned. Now that Roe has been struck down, they even want to go after women who seek to end a pregnancy via a pill at the very early stages.

George Santos Apparently Lying About COVID Diagnosis
Pathological lying Congressman George Santos may have made up claims about being one of the first people in the United States to get the coronavirus. Santos has told a story about his supposed diagnosis multiple times on the record and each time he told the story he used different details. This goes to show the extent to which Santos was willing to lie about his life during his 2022 campaign. The COVID story would be somewhat interesting if it were true, but it certainly does nothing to make him more qualified to hold public office. This is just the latest addition to a long list of lies Santos told on the campaign trail that has recently been brought to light. Santos has also been untruthful about his employment history, educational history, athletic acumen, and Jewish heritage. Now there’s suspicion that even the name he goes by is a lie and that he actually lived as Anthony Devolder before deciding to run for public office. Santos should step down immediately as he clearly doesn’t have the qualifications or integrity to be a US representative.
