Marjorie Taylor Greene

Lawyers working on efforts to get Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) booted off the ballot as she seeks her second term filed a brief on Friday saying she lied under oath when talking about the Jan 6th insurrection with texts she exchanged with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows proving she was not being truthful.

Just over a week ago the controversial Georgia Republican sat before an administrative law judge in Georgia and was questioned about Jan 6th and statements she made before and during the Capitol riot that sent lawmakers fleeing for their lives.

On Friday, in a new video, far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) appeared to suggest that women who have abortions were manipulated into it by Satan, who promised them they would be married if they did so.

"It's whispered, softly and gently, into your ears and into your soul," said Greene. "And he tells you it's okay, and he says it's just this one thing, you're just going to get it done, get it over with, and then he tells you a promise. He promises you all these dreams that you have in your heart."

While Donald Trump appears to be having success at elevating the profiles of some of his supporters running for the Senate or the House, the New York Times is reporting that some of his avid followers' attempts to oust GOP governors are going nowhere with voters.

Case in point, wrote the Times' Reid Epstein is the campaign of Jim Renacci who is trying to replace Gov. Mike DeWine in Ohio as a Trumpian-outsider only to be such a non-factor he's has suspended trying to raise campaign contributions.

According to the Washington Post's Dana Millbank, the leadership of the Republican Party would like to see Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) go away so they won't have to answer for his almost daily antics including repeatedly being stopped for speeding while driving on an expired license to trying to take guns on planes to blurting out stories about drug-fueled conservative orgies in Washington D.C.

As the longtime political observer notes, even if voters in Cawthorn's district oust him -- there will be more Cawthorn's coming down the pike in the upcoming midterm election and elections beyond November.

President Joe Biden reportedly is planning an aggressive midterm campaign that will label Republicans obstructionists to his efforts to move the country forward amid the apparently waning coronavirus pandemic while at the same time rallying for Democrats to help his party retain control of the U.S. House and Senate.

CNN reports that the president has complained in recent private conversations that he is frustrated with what he sees as journalists' lack of reporting about how Republicans have ditched any and all GOP principles solely with the intent of reclaiming the representative branch of government.

Some political strategists have adopted a new idea for preventing former President Donald Trump from returning to power in 2024: just call him a "loser" — something that he both objectively is, having lost in 2020, and that he is pathologically afraid of being labeled as.

But on Friday, writing for The New Republic, Alex Shepard poured some cold water on the idea, arguing that — regardless of whether the "loser" moniker needles Trump — it wouldn't actually cost him support with the base, because it fundamentally misunderstands the reason why Trump appeals to the typical GOP voter in the first place.

In an extraordinarily vicious column for the National Review, conservative columnist Kevin Williamson went scorched earth on longtime business commentator Lou Dobbs for throwing away his career in the service of becoming a Donald Trump "sycophant."

Williamson's diatribe was in response to Dobb's unhappiness with another column by the author where he called out "moonbat" and "ghastly cretin" Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) -- saying voters in her district need to dump her -- that led Dobbs to sneer, "Who reads NR?"

According to a Politico report, there is grumbling and discord among members of the conservative Freedom Caucus that threatens to pull it apart with one former member saying it is devolving into an "extreme outrage machine" instead of attempting to influence policy and pass legislation.

Leading off with a squabble that broke out between Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) at a get-together last month where the two had to be separated, Olivia Beavers is reporting that the Freedom Caucus, once dedicated to conservative causes, changed drastically under Donald Trump and now there are fears it may lose whatever influence it once had.

According to a report from Politico's Olivia Beavers, despite all outward appearances, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are at odds with each other, with the Colorado Republican unhappy she is mentioned in the same breath as her Georgia colleague.

In a deep dive into squabbles that are pulling apart the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus, Beavers reports that at a recent conference the two had to be separated.

Donald Trump, Jr. ripped Ohio Senate candidate Josh Mandel one day before Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is set to begin a four-city tour backing Mandel.

On Friday and Saturday, Cruz is scheduled to stump for Mandel in Dayton, Toledo, Columbus, and Cincinnati. Cruz, like the Club for Growth, stuck with Mandel even after Donald Trump endorsed venture capitalist J.D. Vance.

The host of "Full Frontal" on TBS found a great deal of hilarity in the Republican Party's expanding text messaging scandal.

Samantha Bee broke down her views on the "let's destroy our democracy type of texts."

One of the eleven members of the Oath Keepers charged with seditious conspiracy may have deepened his legal problems with incriminating statements made over a recorded prison phone line.

In January, Magistrate Judge John Z. Boyle ordered Edward Vallejo held in jail pending trial.

On Thursday, the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights released a statement calling on Congress to sanction Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for her recent statements attacking the Catholic Church.

"Greene has a history of offending African Americans and Jews, so bigotry is something that is apparently baked into her," wrote Catholic League President Bill Donohue in the letter to House Ethics Committee leaders Ted Deutch (D-FL) and Jackie Walorski (R-IN).
