Awe, shucks, it´s just a little nepotism.

Wasn´t there an article, long about the last election that Karen Waters´ cumulative salary from her mother´s campaign funds reached $700,000.

And all of it was to pay for "slate mailers."

Ms Waters is as clean as the driven dirt. The funds in point are peanuts compared to the money that ended up helping a bank her husband was involved withl. based on her legislating activities in congress. A corrupt person doesn´t change their ways unless punished.

I could deal with nepotism if the people involved actually did something of equivalent value to their compensation, rather than just collecting a check.

When are we going to understand that democrats and many Republicans primarily get into politics to make millions and live large. They make millions behind the scenes, enjoy incredible health care plans and retire with golden pensions all paid for by taxpayers. These people are not public servants, they are parasites. The added bonus is they also get to rule over the rest of us and enjoy a fawning media who makes them feel so important.

At the moment, I have zero respect for all democrats and very little respect for many Republicans. They are corrupt because we do not hold them accountable. Quit voting for more of the same. They are not Demi-gods. Most are self-serving narcissists. Bring accountability to Washington. Start asking the hard questions about their accumulated wealth and start demanding transparency. Who are they to expect to live large off taxpayer money without an accounting? The American taxpayers have been chumps for far too long.

ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York State attorney general accused the Cuomo administration of undercounting coronavirus-related deaths at nursing homes by as much as 50 percent, according to a report released on Thursday. The count of deaths in state nursing homes has been a source of controversy for Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and state Health Department officials, who have been sensitive to any suggestion that they played any role in the number of nursing home deaths, which the state put at more than 8,500. They have also been accused of obscuring a more accurate estimate of nursing home deaths, because the state only counted deaths at the actual facilities,

After months of stoking anger about alleged election fraud, one of America's largest talk-radio companies has decided on an abrupt change of direction. Cumulus Media, which employs some of the most popular right-leaning talk-radio hosts in the United States, has told its on-air personalities to stop suggesting that the election was stolen from President Donald Trump - or else face termination. A Cumulus executive issued the directive on Wednesday, just as Congress met to certify Joe Biden's election victory and an angry mob of Trump supporters marched on the Capitol, overwhelmed police and briefly occupied the building, terrorizing lawmakers and leading to the deaths of five people.

Dr. Anthony Fauci reportedly said in a phone interview that he has been deliberately changing his public statements regarding the COVID-19 pandemic because he didn’t think people were ready to hear his true beliefs, according to the New York Times. Fauci has been slowly increasing the number of Americans he says need to be vaccinated for the U.S. to reach “herd immunity” in public statements, the New York Times reported Thursday morning. He reportedly told the Times he has done so “partly based on new science, and partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.”

WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. His comments in an interview with The Associated Press come despite President Donald Trump’s repeated baseless claims that the election was stolen, Trump’s effort to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election and his refusal to concede his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden. Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they’ve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
