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 😂.
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.”
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.
Seven months ago, extremist demonstrators were only too happy to display their undying loyalty to Donald Trump by marching on the U.S. Capitol and storming the building, which led to the deaths of five people, including a police officer.
Now, however, some of those same once-loyal Trump worshipers are calling the president a “coward” and insisting that he either needs to be arrested or executed, according to a report from Jesselyn Cook of HuffPost:
“In online havens for MAGA extremists, including Gab, CloutHub, MeWe, Telegram and far-right message boards such as 8kun, the tone toward Trump is shifting. HuffPost reviewed thousands of messages across these platforms and found that a growing minority of the president’s once-devout backers are now denouncing him and rejecting his recent pleas for peace. Some have called for his arrest or execution, labelling him a ‘traitor’ and a ‘coward.’ Alarmingly, many of those who are irate about Biden’s supposed electoral theft are still plotting to forcibly prevent him from taking office – with or without Trump’s help.”
What led to the shift in opinion among the extremists who have supported Trump since he first labeled Mexican immigrants as “rapists”? Apparently it was the video the president made in which he called for a peaceful transfer of power and an end to the violence that had taken place at the Capitol.
“’So he basically just sold out the patriots who got rounded up for him,’ one person wrote in a 15,000-member pro-Trump Telegram group. ‘Just wow.’
“’We don’t follow you,’ another Telegram user wrote, addressing Trump, after the president put out his video urging calm and order. ‘Be quiet and get out of our way.'”
There have also been messages such as this one:
On other forums, there are calls to “burn down” the Capitol and “pop some libtards”:
“WHATEVER IT TAKES!!” Some posts are more specific:“Civil War is here. Group up locally. Take out the News stations,” one person declared. “LET’S HANG THEM ALL,” another implored. “LET’S FINISH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.”
The Boogaloo Boys, a far-right extremist group that openly advocates for civil war, have also issued a call to arms:
“Theres a war coming, and cowering in your home [while] real patriots march with rifles … will make you a traitor,” commented a member of an encrypted Boogaloo chat.
Other postings are aimed directly at Trump, and suggest that he too may be a part of the problem that the extremists call for neutralizing:
Among the recent messages excoriating Trump in dedicated pro-Trump networks: “tbh I hope they hang Trump at this point”; “He deserves what’s coming to him”; “he is literally done he will die in jail”; “Seriously hoping they’ll lock him up or lynch [him]”; “Guy is the biggest cuck ever at this point” “Can’t wait til the left locks up his bitch ass. Rot in prison.” Several people have proclaimed that at this point, Trump can only redeem himself by declaring martial law to maintain power by force.
Clearly, and that could well wind up being a direct threat to him and anyone associated with his administration. But the only person to blame for what’s become of some of his former acolytes is the man-child Trump sees whenever he looks in the mirror.
