Drag Queen George "Kitara" Santos Lies Again
Disgraced lying Congressman George Santos is accused of having performed in drag many years ago. The story broke when journalist Marisa Kabas published a Substack post with photos and testimony from a former friend of the Congressman, who claimed to have known him when he was performing under the name “Kitara Ravache.” Santos initially denied the allegations, but true to form, this was yet another lie by him. He eventually admitted to dressing in drag once the evidence against him became insurmountable. This really shouldn’t be a scandal, but it’s possible that Republicans will make it one because they view drag queens as somehow a threat to society. Now it turns out that one of their own has a history of participating in the very thing they have been demonizing over the last few months. House Republican leadership has failed to hold Santos accountable for his pathological lying, and it remains to be seen whether they will take issue with this matter.
Trump Now LEADS Biden in 2024 Polling
Donald Trump has now taken the lead over Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 presidential matchup. A new poll from Emerson College shows Trump leading Biden 44% to 41%, but it also has 14% of respondents saying they’re not in either camp yet, with 10% saying they would support someone else and 4% being undecided. Other polls have different results in a hypothetical Trump vs. Biden or DeSantis vs. Biden face-off. So far, Trump is the only person out of the three who has announced his candidacy. The groundwork is set for a contentious primary race on the Republican side between Trump and DeSantis. And if Biden chooses not to run, there could also be a bunch of people running on the Democratic side. The truth is that the 2024 election is a long way away, and these early polls do very little to help predict who is going to be the next president of the United States.

Classified Docs Stuff is Suddenly "Treason" on Fox News
The right wing is shamelessly trying to pretend as though the Joe Biden classified documents scandal is possibly treasonous whereas Donald Trump did nothing wrong when he took sensitive material to Mar-a-Lago after leaving office. Maria Bartiromo had House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman James Comer on her Fox News show to talk about the Biden documents and asked the Congressman “is this treason?” Comer followed up, “It's very concerning. We're not going to let up. I think that we've got plenty of information to move forward. This would be a lot easier if the White House would work with us.” Much like with government shutdowns and the debt and deficit conversations, this issue is a political football that so clearly highlights Republican hypocrisy. Even though Trump was objectively much worse on this matter, the right is acting as though it was he who was poorly treated and Biden who should potentially be prosecuted over possessing classified material at his residence.
From yesterday’s show:
George Santos BRUTALLY Heckled at Laguardia Airport
Republican Representative George Santos was met with heckling at LaGuardia Airport over the countless lies he has told during his congressional campaign and since taking office. The latest scandal Santos is facing is that years ago he dressed in drag, which shouldn’t be a problem except that Republicans have been claiming recently that drag queens are a threat to America. A reporter confronted Santos at LaGuardia and Santos tried to ignore her by saying she should reach out to his congressional office. The reporter retorted that his office hadn’t been answering her calls and that this was the only opportunity to get answers from him. Santos was also met with jeers by passers-by at the airport. The disgraced congressman deserves this treatment, so long as it remains non-threatening, since he has no place holding public office and should resign immediately like his constituents want him to.
