As the solar eclipse reaches its apex this afternoon across the United States, you may want to keep a close eye on the skies for another site: A swarm of locusts. And those may be followed by the end of the world.
That’s the prediction from Brian Glenn, program director for conservative network Right Wing Broadcasting who also happens to be Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) boyfriend.
Glenn made his comments in a frantic video he posted on Twitter in which he warned, “This might be the last normal weekend we have for some time. I mean, we’ve got this solar eclipse on Monday, this very rare solar eclipse, who knows what the fallout from that will be.”
“Plus, that will be combined with several earthquakes, we’ve already seen a few already. Oh, and why not sprinkle in this infestation of locusts that have been dormant for years and all of sudden will attack mankind,” he added.
“And then throw in Joe Biden trying to get into a war with Eye-ran for whatever reason he wants to do that.
“So on that note, have a great weekend. We’ll see you next week. Or maybe NOT.”

The “locusts” Glenn referenced are actually cicadas. Two broods of the insects will emerge this spring. They are harmless and don’t cause the same destructive threat locusts do.
Glenn’s rant was righteously mocked on social media.
What kind of shrooms is he on? 🤣

From the swelling in his eyes, he either has a major issue with alcohol, kidney/liver issue and/or both. Explains the psychosis & the relationship with the psychotic MTG.

Hmmm, @brianglenntv looks like he didn't get much sleep last night! Looking a little puffy and sounding a little pissy there Brian. Must be all that good "lovin' you're getting from the screeching hyena you've been shacking up with…@mtgreenee 😂.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) admitted Sunday that some members of his party are actively engaged in spreading Russian propaganda, especially when it comes to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
CNN host Jake Tapper noted that Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) had recently said that Russian propaganda had “infected a good chunk of [his] party’s base.”
“He singled out primetime shows on conservative channels,” Tapper said. “Do you agree with him? And how big is this problem?”
“Oh, it is absolutely true,” Turner concurred. “We see directly coming from Russia attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor.”
“I mean, there are members of Congress today who still incorrectly say that this conflict between Russia and Ukraine is over NATO, which, of course, it is not,” Turner added. “Now, to the extent that this propaganda takes hold, it makes it more difficult for us to really see this as an authoritarian versus democracy battle, which is what it is.”
Will the Republican Party ever rid itself of the Russian apologists who populate its ranks? Or is the GOP too afraid of what happens if they do?
Dime store theologian and full-time crackpot Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says she knows why there was a 4.8 magnitude earthquake felt across the East Coast on Friday and the reason there will be a solar eclipse next Monday.
According to Greene, it’s God telling us to repent.
Yep, she actually said that.
Taking to Twitter, Greene proudly declared, “God is sending America strong signs to tell us to repent. Earthquakes and eclipses and many more things to come. I pray that our country listens.”

As the note from other Twitter users rightly suggests, the eclipse is a regular phenomenon and earthquakes of varying intensity happen daily worldwide. There’s nothing unique, special, or spiritual about them. And they aren’t punishments from a deity.
Ironically, the epicenter of the earthquake felt in New York City was close to failed former president Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club, which led to endless mockery by others on social media, who also took time to swat down Greene for her attempt to interpret the will of God.
Moron: the EQ was "sent" 10 miles from Trump's Crapshack in Jersey. If you were right – which you aren't – and if you were smart – which you aren't – you'd see the warning to repent is for those who are slaves to Traitor Trump. Watch out for lightning Margie
With her political future now more uncertain than ever, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is once again resorting to the kind of behavior that got her negative headlines last September.
According to a report from CNN, Boebert had her mixed drinks cut off at a fundraiser for failed former president Donald Trump just three months later after she became unruly and completely humiliated herself.
“At the December soiree, which was the New York Young Republican Club’s annual gala, multiple witnesses saw a server tell Boebert they would not bring her any more alcohol, with one witness telling CNN the server told the congresswoman they believed she had been overserved. Throughout the night, Boebert also kept attempting to snap selfies with Trump, who was sitting at the same table as her. Eventually, Trump’s security detail stepped in and asked Boebert to stop, according to the witnesses, who attended the event and saw the interaction take place.”
Boebert changed congressional districts in January after it became clear her chances of reelection in her previous district had faded significantly as voters grew sick and tired of her antics, highlighted by her making out with a date during a Colorado theater production of “Beetlejuice.” The congresswoman was forced to leave the musical after she was caught vaping and fondling a man’s crotch in the full view of children who were also in attendance at the theater.
After the incident, Boebert attempted to excuse her actions by issuing a sarcastic statement on Twitter:
“It’s true, I did thoroughly enjoy the AMAZING Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre and I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!” Boebert Tweeted. Everyone should go see it if you get the chance this week and please let me know how it ends!”
Boebert later apologized for her behavior, but tried to blame it on the stress of her divorce.
“There’s no perfect blueprint for going through a public and difficult divorce, which over the past few months has made for a challenging personal time for me and my entire family. I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday. That’s unacceptable and I’m sorry.”
And now we have the boozy Boebert news, which is also unlikely to endear her to voters, CNN notes.
“But as Boebert desperately fights to keep her congressional career alive, the MAGA firebrand will need to dispel concerns about her controversial behavior – and accusations of carpetbagging – as she tries to convince voters in an entirely new district that she is best suited to represent a rural seat in eastern Colorado.”
One thing is absolutely certain: The House of Representatives would be a much saner and smarter place if Lauren Boebert doesn’t manage to win a another term in office.
You remember Stephen Miller, don’t you? He’s the sort of person who’s difficult to forget.
Miller oozes malevolence and smarminess, and was one of the principal architects of the Trump administration’s immigration policies, which included separating migrant children from their parents and placing them in 21st-century concentration camps. Some of those families have yet to be reunited thanks to the barbaric orders given by Miller’s former boss.
And now Miller is back in the headlines for a posting he made on social media regarding a quote attributed to failed former president Donald Trump, who predicted a “bloodbath” if he doesn’t win in November.
Here’s what Miller shared on Twitter:
“The Biden campaign invented a completely fabricated quote for the purpose of defending the illegal alien charged with murdering Laken Riley (of whom Trump was speaking). Doesn’t get more depraved.”

Of course, if you watch the attached video, Trump does indeed call immigrants “animals”
The disgraced ex-president made similar comments last month while campaigning in Ohio, ABC News reported at the time.
“At the Saturday rally, Trump also claimed some unauthorized immigrants are ‘not human’ while making unfounded claims that other countries were letting criminals out of prisons to cross into the United States.”
So while Miller may try to deny what came out of Trump’s mouth, multiple reports prove he’s lying almost as much as the man he used to call his boss.
The former Trump adviser was raked over the coals on social media.
He used they pronouns. That means more than one, Einstein. That spray-on hair shorting out your brain?
How fucking stupid are you? You say he didn’t say it and then share a clip of him saying it! I suggest you go see a neurologist, your abject stupidity might be a tumor. #Trump2024#idiot
