Violent Crime, Once-In-A-Generation Buying, and Turley Swatting

California's Law Will Prohibit Police From Asking This Question

Good morning. It's Saturday, Dec. 30, and we're covering the Jonathan Turley swatting, dunking Joe Biden in the most Louisiana way, NBA superstars, and much more. First time reading? Sign up here.

American Fact of the Day!

They call it Lake Superior for a reason: Everyone knows Lake Superior is big (they don’t call it one of the Great Lakes for nothing), but few people know exactly how large it really is. Not only is Lake Superior the largest freshwater lake in the world, but it holds three quadrillion gallons of water. That’s enough liquid to completely cover both North and South America under a foot of water.

Jonathan Turley Spoke Out Against Swatting, and Then He Got Swatted

There is a full-scale war of intimidation being waged by the far-left, and it has targeted yet another prominent figure on the right. Legal analyst Jonathan Turley was swatted on Friday, according to Alan Henney, who reports on various crimes and police responses around Washington, D.C.

That follows the swatting of three Republican lawmakers since Christmas. Specifically, Sen. Rick Scott, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Rep. Brandon Williams all reported incidents. Jonathan Turley then spoke out against the trend, noting that a lack of prosecutions is leading to an increased number of swatting calls because there is no deterrent.

"Swatting constitutes a false police report that can be criminally charged," Turley said. "Virginia recently passed a new law making swatting specifically a criminal misdemeanor. It can also be charged as a form of criminal threats."

Apparently, that criticism was enough to make Turley a target himself. Thankfully, this situation seems to have been quickly de-escalated rather quickly, as the police ascertained there was no merit to the call once they arrived on the scene.

Turley will no doubt speak out about this soon enough, and I doubt he'll be pushed into quashing his criticisms, nor should he

Sen. John Kennedy Dunks Joe Biden Over the Border Crisis in the Most Louisiana Way Possible

The topic under discussion was President Joe Biden's border crisis, and the Biden administration's threat this week to sue Texas and its Republican governor, Greg Abbott, over measures they've been taking to secure their border since Joe Biden won't.

Kennedy used Biden's snippy comments made to a reporter about media coverage prior to him scooting off on yet another vacation to springboard into a discussion on how not even the left-wing media can help Biden at this point in his presidency when it comes to the dire issues going on at the southern border, with record numbers of illegal immigrants pouring through.

With his customary flair, Kennedy zeroed in on Biden's disastrous border failures as only he can:

Number one, the people of Louisiana are not stupid. Number two, they think the Biden administration is. They think that its stupidity runs from the river to the sea. Exhibit A is the open border. President Biden has dissolved the southern border. Our problems at the southern border are man-made, and that man’s name is Joe Biden, and the people of Louisiana and the American people know it. Yet he blames the media for his unpopularity. It’s hard to believe that the president could be that obtuse. I guess if you ask him where Jordan is, he would say retired. But that’s where we are in America today.

Kennedy is of course not wrong on this. Biden has consistently polled poorly on the issue of illegal immigration, with voters also ranking it as a top issue they will take into consideration before heading into the ballot box.
