OOPS: Marjorie Taylor Greene Committed Heavy Perjury
Marjorie Taylor Greene likely committed heavy perjury when she testified at a hearing on Friday about her role in the January 6th insurrection and whether she should be disqualified from holding office. Time and time again, when Greene didn’t want to answer a question from opposing counsel, she’d say “I don’t recall” or “I don’t remember” which is a typical response from a witness who has something to hide. In one instance, Greene was asked if she supported Trump using martial law, which she said she couldn’t remember doing. In fact, MTG advocated for just this in texts with Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows (even though she misspelled it as “Marshall law”). Greene also testified at the hearing that she believed Antifa and Black Lives Matter were breaking into the Capitol when the riots began on 1/6. This statement also doesn’t match her texts with Meadows, wherein she said, “Please tell the President to calm people This isn’t the way to solve anything.” Greene will probably get away with what was likely perjury, just as she will likely get away with her role in riling up Trump supporters in the wake of the 2020 election.
Dr. Oz Senate Debate a House of Horrors
Pennsylvania has a US Senate election in November that may end up tipping the balance of power in the upper chamber and last night, the Republican candidates squared off for their first debate. The participants included Mehmet Oz, Kathy Barnette, Jeff Bartos, Dave McCormick, and Carla Sands. The debate opened with a dispute over who is really from Pennsylvania, which seemed targeted at Mehmet Oz who only moved there so he could run for the seat. Then there was a section about who could grovel over Donald Trump the best, which Oz performed the strongest in since he was the only candidate who could say that Trump endorsed him. This is shaping up to be a tight race between frontrunners Mehmet Oz and David McCormick, with the winner likely going on to face Democrat John Fetterman in the general election.

Out of Breath Mike Pillow is Crazier Than Ever at Trump Rally
Donald Trump held a rally in Delaware, Ohio over the weekend and in attendance was none other than MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. An out-of-breath Lindell explained to Right Side Broadcasting that America was coming off of an historical day because he had just filed a preliminary injunction in Arizona “to get rid of the machines once and for all.” He went on to explain that his ultimate goal is to get rid of the voting machines in all fifty states. Addressing the obvious reality that his attempts to overturn the 2020 election is an uphill battle, Lindell pointed to the federal judge who struck down the mask mandate on planes and public transportation as a symbol of hope that the impossible can be achieved. For as crazy as Lindell sounds, he does have a real following and Trump continues to single him out and praise him at every rally the pillow tycoon shows up to.

Top Republican CAUGHT ON TAPE Saying Trump Should Resign
Kevin McCarthy has been caught in a lie over what he thought the appropriate course of action was for Donald Trump following the January 6th insurrection. The New York Times reported that McCarthy was going around in the aftermath of the Trump riots saying that the then-president should step down. This prompted the House Minority Leader to release a statement reading in part, “The New York Times’ reporting on me is totally false and wrong. It comes as no surprise that the corporate media is obsessed with doing everything it can to further a liberal agenda.” Then audio surfaced between McCarthy and Liz Cheney from a few days after the January 6th insurrection definitively proving it was McCarthy who was the one lying. He said in the recording, “it would be my recommendation that [Trump] should resign. I mean, that would be my take, but I don’t think he would take it.” Once McCarthy realized the Republican voter base wasn’t willing to ditch Trump after putting lawmakers’ lives in danger, he quickly changed his tune to get back on the ex-president’s good side.
