Fraudulent academic degrees. Involvement in a firm accused of a Ponzi scheme. Multiple evictions and a suspended driver’s license. All of it was in the report, which also said that Mr. Santos, who is openly gay, had been married to a woman. The report did not offer conclusive details, but some people briefed on the findings wondered whether the marriage was done for immigration purposes... “[T]he findings by a Washington research firm were far more startling, suggesting a pattern of deception that cut to the heart of the image he had cultivated as a wealthy financier.” “Some of Mr. Santos’s own vendors were so alarmed after seeing the study in late November 2021 that they urged him to drop out of the race, and warned that he could risk public humiliation by continuing. When Mr. Santos disputed key findings and vowed to continue running, members of the campaign team quit.” x Randall Enos, https://t.co/mCDBfqTnQr #GeorgeSantosMustResign pic.twitter.com/nEwe6QjZ3B — Editorial & Political Cartoons (@EandPCartoons) January 14, 2023 Of Days Gone By Attribution for the above image: Editorial & Political Cartoons @EandPCartoons Multiple Personalities x He’s more like George from Seinfeld than from Congress.

Jeff Beck, Rock’s Quiet Guitar Virtuoso, Dead at 78 JEFF BECK, THE blues-rock innovator and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee who revolutionized how the guitar is played, died Tuesday at the age of 78... Beck, an eight-time Grammy winner, was twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — both as a member of the Yardbirds as well as for his work with his own Jeff Beck Group. Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, Beck’s Yardbirds bandmate who inducted the guitarist into the Rock Hall in 2009, wrote on social media Wednesday, “The six stringed Warrior is no longer here for us to admire the spell he could weave around our mortal emotions. Jeff could channel music from the ethereal. His technique unique. His imaginations apparently limitless. Jeff I will miss you along with your millions of fans. Jeff Beck Rest in Peace.” — Rolling Stone Photograph Credit: Guardian (UK) x With the death of Jeff Beck we have lost a wonderful man and one of the greatest guitar players in the world.
