I just blocked him because he is just too ridiculous. Calling Giselle Fetterman and Marla Maples and Jill Biden “gold diggers” and other nasty names. Warning men to be careful who they marry. He’s an asshole jerk. Blocking is really starting to feel good. ---

We have a new lying Congressman. Andy Ogles of Tennessee claims to be not only a businessman, he’s also an economist, a nationally recognized expert in tax policy and health care, a trained police officer, even an expert in international sex crimes. Middle Tennessee State, where he claims to have gotten his economics degree, says it can’t confirm that because Ogles has blocked that information. If he is an economist, why doesn’t he want his constituents to know that? He claims to have studied foreign policy and the constitution at Western Kentucky University, but that school says he studied English and Language Arts. He claims to be an expert in economics who wrote for _The Wall Street Journal_ and \*Investor’s Business Daily.", but there are only three articles under his name and nothing to indicate that he’s an expert. Despite his claims of being a police officer and working in international sex crimes, his only law enforcement experience was two years as a volunteer with a Tennessee sheriff’s office, where he was let go for failing to meet minimum standards. He claims to have been chief operating officer for a charity run by a gospel singer, but the organization’s tax records only show him as a part time worker who was paid $4000. > **[Businessman, economist, cop, international sex crimes expert?
