Marjorie Taylor Greene targeted by attempted swatting call for roughly 8th time, this one on Christmas Day

Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was the target of a swatting attempt at her Georgia residence on Christmas morning, the congresswoman and local police said, marking the latest instance of someone calling in a fake emergency to try to draw armed officers or SWAT teams to her home.

The Rome (Georgia) Police Department quickly verified that the call was a hoax and didn't send officers to the house, department spokesperson Kelly Madden said.


"I was just swatted. This is like the 8th time. On Christmas with my family here. My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn't have to deal with this," Greene wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

A man in New York called the Georgia suicide hotline just before 11 a.m. Monday, claiming he'd shot his girlfriend at the address of Greene's home and was going to kill himself next, Madden said. The call was quickly transferred to police when suicide hotline responders recognized the Georgia congresswoman's address.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went full what-about when pressed about election denialism

In an interview on ABC’s This Week Sunday, anchor Pierre Thomas — filling in for George Stephanopoulos — confronted the South Carolina senator about Trump’s continued insistence that he was victorious in 2020.

“ He claims to be an election denier, proudly,” Thomas said. “We teach our children when they lose something to shake the opponent’s hand and move on. Are you concerned that the president is a former president is not setting the proper standard going forward here, sir?”

Graham drew a breath and set about the task of equating Hillary Clinton’s rhetoric and actions after the 2016 election to Donald Trump’s.

“Well, you know, Hillary Clinton had the same view that she was cheated,” Graham said. “He’s not the first politician to claim to have been denied a fair election.”

The Senator did, however, go on to say that he flat out believes Trump will lose the 2024 election if he continues to dwell on 2020.

Who believes he would only be dictator on day one?
Yes he will be dictator on day one and every day beyond. Why is it so difficult for people to see that?

They were so quick to blame Biden for high gas price. Not hearing anyone giving him praise for lower prices.

Not that I believe he is responsible, but those that do need to step up.


Gas was $2.89 just outside Charleston South Carolina

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley suggested Sunday that former President Donald Trump’s campaign sent her a birdcage a couple of days after Trump posted a social media rant calling Haley a “birdbrain.”
“After a day of campaigning, this is the message waiting for me outside my hotel room,” Haley posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Every conversation the republicans have, they turn it into an attack on Biden

Their entire strategy is to destroy the current administration!

Watching the Sunday news talk shows, otherwise known as the republican parade and every time one is asked a question, the respond with a Biden this or Biden that comment some not even based in reality, but they do it and by doing so avoid answering the question and building their bases hate for Biden.

Gallbladder removed, now I need to relearn my digestive process

Surgery went well, sent home an hour after anesthesia wore off. Laparoscopic surgery and anesthesia is a medical miracle.

They tell me fatty foods will cause diarrhea.

Interested in hearing others experiences if you are willing to share.

Barr calls Trump indictment 'tip of the iceberg' in Jack Smith's case

Former Attorney General Bill Barr called former President Trump’s Jan. 6 indictment the “tip of the iceberg,” arguing that special counsel Jack Smith and the Justice Department (DOJ) have “a lot more” evidence to come on Trump’s state of mind.

“The government, in their indictment, takes the position that [Trump] had actual knowledge that he had lost the election and the election wasn’t stolen through fraud,” Barr told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday night. “And they’re going to have to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt, which is a high bar of course. … Now that leads me to believe that we’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg on this.”

When asked if he thinks Smith has more in connection with the indictment, he said he believes DOJ has “a lot more.”

“And that’s one of the things that impressed me about the indictment,” he continued. “It was very spare, and there were a lot of things he could have said in there and I think there’s a lot more to come and I think they have a lot more evidence as to President Trump’s state of mind.”
