(America First Report)—If there’s one thing radical leftists hate more than Republicans, it’s Democrats who often side with Republicans. Constitutional attorney Jonathan Turley is at the top of that list as a Democrat who often speaks out against radical policies, authoritarianism, and judicial tyranny.
On Friday, he was “swatted.” Law enforcement was called to his home to respond to false reports of violent actions in progress.
“Yes, I was swatted this evening. It is regrettably a manifestation of our age of rage,” the George Washington University law professor said in a statement on Friday. “However, we are grateful to the Fairfax police officers who were highly professional and supportive in responding to this harassment,”
According to NY Post:
Law enforcement responded to Turley’s Fairfax County home after an individual placed the bogus emergency call.
The Fairfax County Police Department confirmed that the caller falsely said somebody was shot at Turley’s address.
The incident comes one day after Turley spoke out against “swatting” during an interview with Fox News Digital.
This trend has been escalating in recent weeks as lawmakers and conservative figures have been victimized. While some on the left categorize it as a “prank,” there have been multiple instances of property damage, physical harm, and even death when law enforcement comes in hot to respond to reports of danger.
The Post continued, highlighting recent swatting events:
Cops were called to Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) home on Christmas Day after an individual phoned a suicide hotline claiming to have shot his girlfriend at the far-right politician’s home and threatening to kill himself, according to police.
Republican Georgia state Sens. John Albers, Kay Kirkpatrick and Clint Dixon, as well as Democrat Kim Jackson, were also “swatted” on Christmas Day, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
Republican Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones said on Thursday that his home was “swatted” and a “bomb threat was called” into his district office.
Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) had his upstate New York home “swatted” on Christmas Day just hours after Greene’s home was also visited by local law enforcement.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) became the third GOP member of Congress to be “swatted” during this week’s holiday recess when police responded to his home in Naples, Fla., on Wednesday.
Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu, a Democrat, was “swatted” two weeks after she hosted a controversial holiday party for the non-white city council members.
Police also responded to Republican Ohio state Rep. Kevin D. Miller’s the day after Christmas after fake reports of a shooting, according to local authorities.
Swatting is among the most cowardly and dangerous crimes one can commit. It’s not wonder the radical left has adopted it as a preferred attack against conservatives.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
