- Part 1 has about 35 editorial cartoons and images on the Republican propensity to invent phony issues of no use or relevance to anyone; the ongoing saga of George Santos with each day producing embarrassing revelations; the coming slew of Republican investigations ala “Benghazi”; movie clips from the Best of Peter Sellers as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau; and two clips from a fantastic movie and one of my all-time favorite films — The Remains of the Day.
- Part 2 has over 35 cartoons and focusses on the clown show that is the new Republican majority in the US House of Representatives; the Climate Change issue which isn’t receiving the attention it deserves; the role of education and lack of women’s rights in Afghanistan and Iran; the passing of rock legend David Crosby; and an incredible recreation of biblical paintings by an Italian theatre group to the accompaniment of Mozart’s Requiem.
- I will post at least another 10-15 more editorial cartoons in each diary on a number of other issues in the news. So, you’ll get to see over 100 cartoons this evening. Thanks for supporting these diaries.

Accountability
With the Republicans’ call for investigations into President Biden’s classified documents and for hearings into so-called “Weaponization of the Federal Government,” their mission to erase former President Donald Trump’s role in the seditious attack begins.
