Additional documents from law enforcement provide an essential detail not initially reported in the suicide of a former special assistant to President Bill Clinton. In May 2022, a Perry County, Arkansas, sheriff’s deputy found Mark Middleton’s body dangling from a tree. Using a bench to rope an electrical cord tied around his neck to a nearby limb, Middleton simultaneously hung himself while discharging a shotgun point-blank into his chest. Middleton left the White House in February 1995 after misleadingly implying he was a mover and shaker. During his tenure, he signed sex offender Jeffrey Epstein into the White House seven times.…

Marjorie Taylor Greene stirred up a political storm with her “national divorce” comments. Greene tweeted her proposal to separate red and blue states on Presidents’ Day. “The last thing I ever want to see in America is a civil war,” Greene told Sean Hannity Tuesday night. “But it’s going that direction, and we have to do something about it.” While Hannity was sympathetic, fellow Fox News host Laura Ingraham systematically dismantled Greene’s idea yesterday evening.

For some, there are more questions than answers today — months after the death of an ex-White House staffer linked to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In May 2022, authorities found Mark Middleton, a Little Rock business executive who rode Bill Clinton’s coattails to the White House, hanging from a tree with an electrical cord wrapped around his neck and a shotgun blast through his chest. Middleton, a special assistant to President Bill Clinton and assistant to Chief of Staff Thomas ‘Mack’ McLarty, signed Epstein into the White House on seven occasions. Ultimately, Epstein visited the White House 17 times for…
A highly controversial Republican Member of Congress appears to have won over Sean Hannity. The Fox News host sympathized with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s idea of a “national divorce” between liberal and conservative states. Before the interview, Hannity outlined what he liked about Greene’s plan: https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1628224610779992064 After receiving bipartisan condemnation, Greene received several minutes of prime-time air to explain her remarks. Mediaite further reports: “Most people instinctively want this to be the United States of America,” he opened before asking, “How did you get to this point?” He then listed several divisive topics like “How do you reconcile ‘defund…
