.
Another GOP winner, folks.
Please meet Congressfool Mark Meadows from North Carolina. Hes a nut job. Hes also chairman of the Freedom Caucus. I do not know which came first the nut or the caucus. Its one of those chicken and egg things.
Meadows believes that dinosaurs and Jesus had a relationship. Yep, hes a creationist and has been dabbling in real estate where dinosaur bones have been found.Three years ago, the North Carolina congressman Mark Meadows sold a hundred-and-thirty-four-acre property in Dinosaur, Colorado. The buyer was Answers in Genesis, a Christian nonprofit based in Kentucky, which was founded by the Australian creationist Ken Ham. Answers in Genesis is dedicated to promoting young-Earth creationism, which holds that the Earth was created in six days, several thousand years ago.
The selling price was about $200,000, which does not seem extraordinary. However, Meadows did not claim the extra income on his congressional financial disclosure. Hes a three term senator. He knows the rules. This wasnt an accident or ignorance.
Public Citizen has filed a request for an investigation and includes this ..Public Citizen further requests that the Clerk of the House investigate whether Meadows has a history of failing to report his investments and transactions. According to Brett Kappel, a campaign finance lawyer quoted in the news story, [t]here appear to have been multiple reporting violations that occurred over a long period of time by Meadows.
Oops one cover-up can unearth a lot of problems.

If they're willing to substitute their own fantasies for reality, it's a small step to ignoring inconvenient laws.

Meadows is a representative, not a senator.
Either way, he's a dingbat. And thoroughly dishonest.
