Staff ReportsThe latest news from the swamp reveals the absurdity of government spending, the mysterious disappearance of a Texas Congresswoman, and the remarkable ability of Donald Trump to school the media with humor and finesse. While some laugh, others shake their heads in disbelief, illustrating the absurd circus that is modern politics.
The first story chronicles the bewilderment of residents in Washington, D.C., who recently learned just how ludicrous their tax dollars are being squandered. Reports highlighted absolutely ridiculous expenditures, including a staggering $750,000 study just to resolve the age-old debate of whether Neil Armstrong took “one small step for man” or “one small step for a man” during the moon landing. One can only wonder how many potholes and crumbling roads could have been fixed with that money. Another laughable expenditure? A cool million to determine if cocaine makes quail more promiscuous. Remarkably, one D.C. resident couldn’t believe his ears, and the bewilderment didn’t stop there. Who knew sunfish aggression could also warrant a hefty $100,000 investigation into whether tequila or gin played a role?

Meanwhile, in a disappearance worthy of a detective novel, Congresswoman Kay Granger, who represents Texas’ 12th District, has gone dark. Her last vote echoed through the chamber back in July, and after that, she seemingly vanished into thin air. Local journalists attempted to solve this head-scratching mystery only to find her district office not only closed but completely abandoned, its windows covered in secrecy. The final piece of the puzzle appeared to be her impending retirement, as there are whispers that she had begun packing up well before the holidays. This escapade raises eyebrows and drives home the point about how elected officials often abandon their posts when they no longer want to be part of the messy political game.
Then there’s Trump demonstrating once again why he is the master of the media battlefield. Faced with a ridiculous question from a reporter regarding hypothetical military actions, he deftly turned the moment into a showcase of what a real leader looks like. Rather than fall into the traps laid by the media, he chose to highlight the absurdity of the question itself, leaving even fellow journalists chuckling at the back-and-forth. It’s easy to imagine how President Biden or Vice President Harris would have floundered in the same situation, likely resulting in some incoherent word salad and just enough cackling to raise alarms.
On the comedic front, Chris Rock took to the “Saturday Night Live” stage to deliver a monologue that ventured into territory rarely seen in today’s ultra-sensitive environment. By opting to roast both sides of the political divide, Rock challenged the woke culture that has taken hold in so many comedic spaces. The crowd of Manhattan liberals appeared caught off-guard, unsure of how to react as he peppered his routine with brutally honest jabs at everyone involved, from Trump to the liberal elite. Rock’s performance showcased the courage needed to transcend political correctness—a refreshing change in a world that often stifles free expression.
Lastly, Jill Biden’s retirement announcement has been met with a collective sigh of relief across various circles. After her last class, she indicated a desire to step away from the political stage, conveniently escaping the spotlight just as her party’s integrity is called into question. Her remarks about her husband and Kamala Harris were met with skepticism, and many are left counting down the days to when the spotlight might finally fade on the Bidens. The carousel of political figures continues to spin, raising the question of who will fill the void left behind as the current crew takes their exit.
As the year winds down, it becomes increasingly evident that the narrative of governance, celebrity, and disbelief continues to paint a vivid picture of the American political landscape.
