Hi! You know, Friday Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) had to testify under oath. She is the one who ran after two students who had just survived a high school shooting telling them she had a gun in her purse. Members of the House have moved their offices away from her office. She and another representative heckled President Joe Biden during his first State of the Union address.
If you get a chance, it is really interesting to watch (C-SPAN). It is hard to imagine that she is a wife and mother. I would have thought she ate her young. When she had to tell the truth, it looked as if her tongue was on fire! But see what you think?
Then, there is the Russian invasion of Ukraine and ensuing atrocities. It hurts my heart, but it is what we must cover. The Ukrainian people have been magnificent examples of patriotism. We must hurry to retain our own democracy.
Enjoy your weekend and remember the 2nd booster shot is available!

Marjorie Greene Suffers A Sad After Judge Allows Re-Election Challenge
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has a habit of belligerently attacking her fellow members of congress. On cue, after a federal judge allowed a challenge her re-election, Greene was upset. The judge has decided to take on a case by Georgia voters after they launched an attempt to disqualify her over the January 6 attack.
‘REP. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE (R-GA) IS NOT HAPPY THAT SOME VOTERS ARE SUING TO DISQUALIFY HER FROM RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION, CITING HER ROLE IN THE JAN. 6 INSURRECTION: “I HAVE TO GO TO COURT ON FRIDAY AND ACTUALLY BE QUESTIONED ABOUT…SOMETHING I WAS COMPLETELY AGAINST.”’
Powerful Russian Oligarch Flips & Tells Putin To End ‘Insane War’
It appears that President Joe Biden’s sanctions against Russia have begun to pay off. One targeted oligarch, Oleg Tinkov, is a billionaire and founder of a major digital bank in Russia. He advised Americans to help his President Vladimir Putin find an exit plan and “stop this massacre,” according to CNN’s Edition.
Tinkov owns 35 percent of the bank’s umbrella organization, TCS Group. In addition, his wealth is valued at approximately $3.5 billion on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. He founded the Tinkov Bank in 2006 and wrote on Instagram:
‘NINETY] PERCENT OF RUSSIANS WERE AGAINST THE WAR AND THAT KREMLIN OFFICIALS WERE IN A STATE OF SHOCK THAT THEY WOULD NO LONGER BE ABLE TO SPEND THEIR SUMMERS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. I DON’T SEE A SINGLE BENEFICIARY OF THIS INSANE WAR
Trump Obsessed Rioter Busted After Bragging On Ride-Share Dashcam
One man made the mistake of assuming his Uber driver shared his hatred. Jerry Daniel Braun was one of those who invaded our U.S. Capitol Building and desecrated it on that fateful day, January 6, 2021. And it appears the alleged insurrectionist just could not keep from boasting. That was the beginning of events that led to his arrest by the FBI.
Court documents were unsealed showing that the California Uber driver went to the FBI and reported Braun. The alleged seditionist told the Uber driver all about ripping down a police barricade. And all the while, the cab was recording Braun on its dashboard camera.
On January 6, right after 7 p.m., one of Trump’s most ardent fans hiked the mile from the Capitol to downtown Washington D.C. and grabbed an Uber, NBC News reported.
Trump Reports Losses Despite Large Donations, As Grift Continues
Even though Donald Trump continues to bring in the big bucks, his Make America Great Again (MAGA) PAC continues to leak like a sieve. For the last three quarters, his fundraising showed a loss. In the third quarter of 2021 alone, it lost $1.2 million. So where has the money been going?
It appears that Trump’s attorneys have been sucking up the big bucks. And this looked like a win-win for the former president, since he notoriously leaves his attorney’s fees hanging. The PAC’s total expenses ran $2.6 million. Unfortunately, the attorneys ate up 40 percent of his total take, according to The Daily Beast.
That meant that his available remaining cash was $6.66 million at the end of 2021. By March it was just $5.47 million. Since he left office, his PAC has already spent half of the money from the amount he had when he began 2021, $10.7 million.
GOP Congressman Put Under Investigation For Hiding 90 Stock Transactions
The House Ethics Committee is investigating first-term Representative Pat Fallon for not reporting significant stock trading, according to The Dallas News. We are not talking about a minor error. He traded a minimum of seven million dollars in over 90 stock trades just between January and April 2021. To comply with The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act or STOCK Act, an individual must report any securities transactions to the House Clerk’s Office. And all that must happen within 45 days. Fallon’s were not, according to The Forbes Magazine.
When the Ethics Committee gets a referral from the Office of Congressional Ethics, it is required to either make a statement that it was received within 45 days or release the OCE’s report. At this time, the Ethics Committee has not indicated the reason it opened an investigation into Fallon. However, the panel’s inquiry noted that it was about stock trades.
