MTG’s Main Squeeze: Eclipse May Lead To ‘Infestation Of Locusts’ And The End Of The World

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.

Kanye West Tells Proud Boys Founder That Jews Need To ‘Forgive Hitler’ In Latest Rant

Rapper Kanye West (a.k.a. Ye) doubled and tripled down on his recent vile anti-Semitic comments, telling Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes on Monday that Jews need to “forgive Hitler” for the Holocaust.

Rolling Stone reports that West made his remarks on Censored.TV, a right-wing platform, with McInnes telling his guest that he was hoping to “talk him off the ledge” and keep him from “becoming an anti-Semite or a Nazi.”

But rather than take the olive branch being offered to him, West told the host:

“Jews should work for Christians. I’ll hire a Jewish person in a second if I knew they weren’t a spy and I could look through their phone and follow through their house and have a camera all in their living room.”

West added:

“We make our reputations, that was made by Jewish people. But some of it’s incorrect. Also, the Holocaust is not the only holocaust, so for them to take that and claim — we have abortion right now. That’s eugenics, that’s genocide. That’s a holocaust that we’re dealing with right now, so because Jewish people control the majority of the media, along with banks, along with real estate, along with malls.”

McInnes then told the rapper that he believed Jews were “liberal elites,” along with former President Barack Obama and current Vice President Kamala Harris, which led West to blame Jews for pornography, which he called a “gas chamber,” a clear and disgusting reference to the deaths of over 6 million Jews in Nazi concentration camps and crematoriums.

“They can control the narrative. History is written by the winners.”

Last week, West told InfoWars host Alex Jones that Hitler and the Nazis did “good things.”

“Well, I see good things about Hitler, also. I love everyone. The Jewish people are not going to tell me, you know, you can love us and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography.

“But this guy that invented highways and invented the very microphone that I use as a musician. You can’t say out loud that this person never did anything good and I’m done with that, I’m done with the classifications, and every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

Financial Weight Of Multiple Lawsuits Has Alex Jones On The Brink Of Bankruptcy: Report

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is on the verge of filing for bankruptcy as the weight of multiple lawsuits against him is causing severe financial stress, according to a report from Bloomberg.

Companies owned by far-right radio host Alex Jones are getting advice from restructuring advisers and considering options including a potential bankruptcy filing after being hit by lawsuits over Jones’s conspiracy theories, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

A Chapter 11 filing would aim to allow Jones’s businesses, such as Infowars and Free Speech Systems, to keep operating while pausing civil litigation against them, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private.

Just last year, Jones and his companies were found liable of defamation in a lawsuit brought by relatives of the 20 children who died in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. Jones labeled the shootings fake and a hoax, suggesting they were part of a “false flag” operation that would allow the U.S. government to impose new gun control regulations. The full value of the damages that will be imposed on Jones has not yet been decided, but could well total in the tens of millions of dollars.

Attorneys for Jones have asserted that their client’s First Amendment rights are being violated and that he had an absolute right to make the comments about the Sandy Hook massacre.

However, legal experts have noted that no one has a right to spread outright lies and bogus conspiracy theories in order to get ratings and raise money. Such actions are clearly beyond the scope of the protections afforded by the Constitution.

Jones has also been accused of transferring money from his company in an effort to hide his assets. According to attorneys for the Sandy Hook families, Jones began those transfers shortly after they filed their defamation suit in 2018. He allegedly transferred $18 to an entity called  PQPR, which is said to be controlled by Jones or members of his family.
