Posting this from WKRN because Marsha Blackburn is counting on journalists not asking the RIGHT questions in following up on my story about the ethics investigation of her office last year. NO ONE is saying that she was disciplined by the Senate Ethics Committee - so she is denying a claim that no one has made. That’s because the Senate Ethics Committee has not disciplined one of their own in many, many years. Instead, when it finds wrongdoing, the Ethics Committee usually makes the senators fix the problem and promise to never do it again! Here are the right questions: If this ethics investigation was politically motivated as you claim, why not release your correspondence with the Senate Ethics Committee to prove that the committee investigated and found nothing? If you refuse to release correspondence with the Senate Ethics Committee, why should votes not assume that you are hiding something? @ There was an ethics complaint against you last year for voting for legislation from which you could profit. Will you release any correspondence with the Senate Ethics Committee about that complaint? There was an ethics complaint against you in 2021 for using your position to help an aide get out of a traffic ticket. Will you release any correspondence with the Senate Ethics Committee about that complaint? ONE MORE NOTE: No journalist should accept an interview with Marsha Blackburn under the condition that they not ask about the ethics investigation.

MUST WATCH: My investigation of the conspiracy cops in Millersville, Tennessee, gets even stranger. Asked about the reason for my investigation of his department, the chief says: "The only thing I can think is: you are a pedophile or you are covering for somebody that is."

MUST WATCH: This call from @HansonforMayor - asking about the pic she posted of "supporters" who say they don't know her - is one of the more unusual phone calls I've ever received. Franklin, Tennessee, this is one of your candidates for mayor. (Details in story below.)

This Kash Patel interview shared by Musk is absolutely insane! It is NOT FBI “government gangsters” blocking Metro Nashville PD from releasing the shooter’s writings! It is a lawsuit filed by the Covenant families! (And it’s NOT a Catholic school, btw.) Patel has no clue!

Apparently stung by Ben Hall’s questions about her ducking interviews, Sen. Marsha Blackburn gives 20-minute interview to the incomparable Joe Birch - and implies that she has done candidate forums with her GOP gubernatorial competitors. Fact Check: She has NOT!
