Marjorie Taylor Greene

An Arizona former school teacher who was arrested last year for the alleged assault of two Phoenix junior high students will not be charged, News 12 reports.

Glendon Templeton, 62, previously a bishop in the LDS church, was accused of groping the teen girls while he was their volleyball coach.

In an analysis for the Washington Post, Philip Bump suggested that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's continuing attacks on U.S. funding to Ukraine to stave off the Russian invasion is less about international affairs and more about providing her with a platform to rile up her supporters with her fear-mongering over the U.S./Mexico border.

As the Post political analyst explained, Taylor Greene (R-GA) has her Ukraine numbers overstated but that is inconsequential since she is only using the war as a gateway to segueing into border complaints.

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told Trump supporters at a Sioux City, Iowa rally Thursday that Paul Pelosi is to blame for his own assault, just as the Speaker's husband was being released from the hospital after being bludgeoned with a hammer in a "near-fatal" attack that left him unconscious in a pool of his own blood.

As she made her remarks news broke that Pelosi had just been released from a six-day stint in hospital, where he was operated on for a skull fracture and damage to his arm and hands. The Washington Post reports court records reveal his attacker was trying to wrestle control of a hammer, "striking Mr. Pelosi in the head at full force with the hammer, which knocked Mr. Pelosi unconscious.”

On MSNBC Tuesday, former D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, who was severely injured in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, shredded House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) — and accused him of putting aside his morals in the quest for power.

In the initial aftermath of the attack, McCarthy condemned Trump's role in inciting it and even privately demanded he resign from office. However, he quickly went back to defending the former president, and sitting idly by as House Republicans like Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) characterize the people who invaded the Capitol with weapons, beat police officers, and threatened lawmakers as "tourists."

On Tuesday's edition of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House," former D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone tore into Kari Lake, the former Arizona news anchor turned Republican nominee for governor of Arizona, who has spent most of her campaign pushing conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, even outright saying she'll only accept election results if she wins the race.

Fanone's comments came in response to a newly released ad by the Republican Accountability Project targeting Lake, featuring the mother of deceased Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who defended the Capitol alongside Fanone and died shortly after.

A panelist on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" drew a straight line between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's conspiracy theories and the attack on House speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband.

Paul Pelosi was severely beaten by a hammer-wielding assailant in a politically motivated attack, and Florida prosecutor Dave Aronberg blamed Republican elected officials for encouraging violence.

In a blunt column for the Bulwark, longtime conservative writer Mona Charen dropped the hammer on Republicans for their tone-deaf response to the ugly assault inflicted on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and claimed that even moderate GOPer's failed miserably when addressing it.

While high-profile conservatives like Don Trump Jr., Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake have garnered the most attention for their jokes and comments about the savage hammer beating of the 82-year-old Pelosi, other Republicans have stepped in it with their "what about" approach to the attack.

President Joe Biden demanded that Republicans stop inciting violence by pushing Donald Trump's "big lie" about the 2020 election after Paul Pelosi was brutally beaten with a hammer by a conspiracy theorist.

After voting while vacationing in Delaware, Biden spoke with reporters about the attack that reportedly targeted Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

The Southern evangelical "Hell Houses" put on during Halloween are not an effective mechanism of scaring people into believing in Christianity, according to the "chief exorcist" for the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.

"This October some churches and ministries in the United States are once again hosting Christian versions of haunted houses, and nonbelievers and believers alike are lining up for some rather existential spine-tingling for the first time since the pandemic," the Catholic News Agency reported. "Popular among evangelical Protestant churches in the South, these 'judgment houses' typically stage dramatic representations depicting what happens after people die, leaving visitors to ponder whether they themselves are headed for heaven or hell, and presumably, to act accordingly."

During a segment of Friday's "Real Time With Bill Maher," viewers are prepped for the upcoming midterm elections with a run-down of "24 things you don't know about Marjorie Taylor Greene."

"One of the people I love to listen to on Twitter is Marjorie Taylor Greene," says Maher prior to the run-down of his humorous list. ". . .She's really having a moment. Trump is considering her as a running-mate in 2024, and she's also gotten a lot of incredible press. And when the Republicans take over Congress in 11 days, she's gonna be very important there. So we thought today would be a good time to do 24 things you don't know about Marjorie Taylor Greene."

According to a report from the Washington Post, it should come as no surprise that a man stormed the San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Friday where he violently assaulted her elderly husband while looking for her.

As the report notes, Republican lawmakers and conservatives have been painting a target on Pelosi's back for years -- including suggesting the 82-year-old lawmaker be assassinated.

On Friday's edition of MSNBC's "The ReidOut," Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) reacted to the news of Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, being violently attacked by a home invader looking for the Speaker of the House.

While the motives of the attacker haven't yet been confirmed by police, reports indicate that the alleged assailant, 42-year-old David DePape, prolifically spread right-wing conspiracy theories on social media. According to Swalwell, who himself has been subject to multiple death threats — including from a man who pleaded guilty this week — this can be attributed to the political atmosphere Republicans are encouraging.

There are already fissures in the House GOP Caucus ahead of an expected win of the House of Representatives by Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections, according to The New York Times.

"Since the day President Biden took office, Republicans have publicly called for his impeachment, introducing more than a dozen resolutions accusing him and his top officials of high crimes and misdemeanors and running campaign ads and fund-raising appeals vowing to remove the president from office at the first opportunity," the newspaper reported. "But in the homestretch of a campaign that has brought the party tantalizingly close to winning control of Congress, top Republicans are seeking to downplay the chances that they will impeach Mr. Biden, distancing themselves from a polarizing issue that could alienate voters just as polls show the midterm elections breaking their way."
