Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has continually called for officials in her state to launch a criminaI probe into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as allegations of corruption have surfaced. Greene has specifically pushed for Georgia Gov. Kemp to investigate Willis, claiming he has the uItimate authority to lead such an initiative.
However, Kemp recently dismissed MTG’s request for a criminaI probe, directing the congresswoman to file a complaint with Georgia’s oversight committee.
The American Tribune covered the news, reporting on the comments from a spokesperson of Gov. Kemp.
The Congresswoman has every right to refer her complaint to the oversight commission once the legislative process concIudes this session and the commission begins full operations.
Just last year, the Georgia General Assembly laid out a specific oversight process for district attorneys that is transparent and unbiased, which the governor supported and signed into Iaw, the spokesperson said. The spokesperson continued, These allegations are deepIy troubling and evidence should be presented quickly. Georgians must have confidence in our legal system and its procedures, and these allegations — in addition to the Iack of direct response from District Attorney Willis — jeopardize that confidence.
This man bought the home from an elderly couple who built it in the 1970s: He sees a hole in his front yard, examines it closer, and is surprised where it leads
The allure of old buildings lies not only in their physical structures but also in the historical tales they hold. While the phrase “If these walls could talk” may be a bit cliché, it sparks the imagination to envision the lives and stories embedded within those timeworn walls. As a child, I was captivated by the charm of my grandparents’ 18th-century mansion, a dwelling that had exchanged hands multiple times over the centuries.
Contemplating the lives of those who inhabited the house in the 1800s and visualizing the landscape before its construction fueled my curiosity. It’s intriguing how many individuals remain oblivious to the secrets concealed within their own homes. A similar sense of astonishment struck Simon Marks from Luton, England, when he unwittingly stumbled upon a hidden piece of history in his front yard.
Several years ago, Simon Marks discovered an unexpected feature beneath his property: a two-roomed World War II air raid shelter. The incident unfolded as Simon drove into what he initially believed to be a flowerbed, only to realize that his vehicle had descended into the concealed structure. “A large hole developed. I thought it was a sinkhole or a badly constructed garden”, recounted Simon, 37, to The Sun.
Fearful that his entire house might disappear into the unexpected void, Simon investigated further. To his surprise, he uncovered a ladder and, upon using a selfie stick to peer into the depths, identified the underground relic as a World War II air raid shelter. His father, upon seeing the images, immediately recognized the structure and informed Simon of its historical significance.
Acquiring the home from an elderly couple who had constructed it in the 1970s, Simon speculated that the previous owners must have been aware of the shelter’s existence. “The previous owner must have known it was there, and when he built the house and put a garden in, he must have filled it in”, Simon surmised. Undeterred by the unexpected discovery, he expressed a keen interest in preserving and restoring the bunker, considering it a remarkable piece of history.
Motivated by their newfound historical treasure, Simon and his father embarked on a venture to uncover the entire two-room construction, digging with buckets to reveal the structure in its entirety. The process, captured in a video showcasing the shelter and its restoration, serves as a testament to the unexpected historical gems hidden beneath the surface of our everyday lives.
