Wow! In the unedited answer, Sen. Marsha Blackburn claims to recall campaign forums - plural - where she has stood side by side with her fellow candidates for Tennessee governor. She remembers something no one else can recall. Do you have a photo of these events, Sen. Blackburn?

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.)

Another day of dealing with Andy Ogles’ shenanigans! We were invited to an event at a Metro Nashville Head Start program with RFK Jr. and Ogles. The congressman’s comms director made up some story about why we could not come in - which, as you will see, quickly fell apart. 🙄

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!

ICYMI: They want to go back to an America before the civil rights movement "ruined everything." They want to kick out immigrants even if they became U.S. citizens decades ago. And they want to put women back where they think they belong. (Part 1)

We were invited to a Franklin mayoral forum at Westhaven, but Gabrielle @HansonforMayor supporters became quite agitated and attempted to keep us from entering the room. One kept backing into me and then accused me of assaulting him.
