Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) says the Department of Justice declined to prosecute threats against his family in contrast to how it has handled similar threats against Democrats. Banks questioned Attorney General Merrick Garland about the seeming disparity in response to threats against Banks and threats against Democratic members of Congress. Banks wrote in a letter to the Justice Department chief that the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana “declined” to prosecute a man despite “clear evidence” of threats against Banks’ family, according to ABC News, which obtained a copy of the letter. “When Capitol Police referred the criminal case against Aaron Thompson to the U.S. Attorney for Northern District of Indiana, they declined to prosecute despite clear evidence that Thompson violated federal law,” Banks wrote. Banks received several threatening voicemails from Thompson, who was later prosecuted by a local district attorney in Indiana and sentenced to two years of probation. “Three daughters. Hey, hey, hey, three bullets hey, hey, hey one wife yay. Oh yeah, yeah, we’ll give her two bullets,” Thompson said in one message, according to Banks’ letter. In an interview with U.S. Capitol Police, Thompson admitted to calling and threatening Banks over disagreements with his political views. Thompson said he was intoxicated during the calls. The DOJ’s treatment of Banks’ case contrasts with how the department handled threats leveled against Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California, according to Banks, who asked Garland why the cases were treated differently. A man accused of threatening the California Democrat pleaded guilty in May after being charged by federal prosecutors in January.

The man also threatened Swalwell’s kids, saying, “I’m gonna kill your children.” The man said he was intoxicated at the time he left the messages for Swalwell. In a case this week not featured in Banks’ letter, federal prosecutors secured a sentence of 33 months in prison and a $10,000 fine for a Texas man who was convicted of making threats against Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters of California. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced the sentence against Brian Michael Gaherty of Houston on Monday. Gaherty pleaded guilty to leaving four threatening messages for Waters in August and November 2022. In one of the messages, Gaherty threatened to “put a cap” in Waters’ head, “cut [her] throat,” and “stomp” her.

After spending decades as a Stevie Nicks impersonator, a brave woman sings one more song from her hospital bed. Marirose Powell was the lead singer for Marirose & The Gypsies. So many people told her that she sounded a lot like Stevie Nicks. She became an impersonator, and the band added more Stevie Nicks songs to their sets. Marirose wanted to belt out one last song, so from her hospital bed, she sang “Landslide.” @samxenos there isnt a day that goes by that i wish we’d had more time with her. she was truly the only person i’ve ever known to leave people better than she found them. until we can be together again mama… ♬ original sound – samxenos About a year ago, the singer and her band joined forces with another band, the Sweet Taunts. Christine Taunton, lead singer for the Taunts, performs many of Christine McVie’s songs. As you know, Nicks and McVie were great friends, and their voices together are magical. The new band, Mystic Moon, performed a set called “A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac.” @samxenos Replying to @user9238255780117 @Stevie Nicks truly your biggest fan ♬ Gypsy – Fleetwood Mac Marirose was a true performer until the end. She passed away peacefully on April 10, 2024, about a week after singing from her hospital bed. We’re unsure who the two guitar players in the video are. Her daughter-in-law, Sam Xenos, recorded and posted the video on TikTok. There is a longer version on the Marirose Tribute page on Facebook. Even while suffering health issues, Marirose’s talent shone through. Her voice falters a bit while singing the line, “I’m getting older, too.” It was a perfect song selection for the moment, although sad. Marirose Powell passed surrounded by family and friends. Her family posted on Facebook to pass the message to fellow performers and fans. The page “Remembering Marirose Powell” is full of heartwarming messages, photos, and videos of Marirose. There is love flowing there. As a Stevie Nicks impersonator, Marirose was one of the best. She will be fondly remembered. Please share her final song.
