House Representative Jackie Walorski (R- Indiana) was elected to the House as a Tea Party reformer in 2012 [CTH LINK]. She was a staunch advocate for the military and a key voice behind the Veterans Affairs reform that followed the scandals surfacing about the VA in Arizona. Mrs. Walorski and two members of her staff were killed today in a car accident. Mrs Walorski was 58-years-old.
Via Fox – “On August 3, 2022 at approximately 12:32 PM the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office responded to a two vehicle crash on SR 19 south of SR 119,” the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Digital in a statement. “A northbound passenger car traveled left of center and collided head on with a southbound sports utility vehicle. All three occupants in the southbound vehicle died as a result of their injuries: Jackie Walorski, 58, Elkhart, Indiana Zachery Potts, 27, Mishawaka, Indiana Emma Thomson, 28, Washington, DC The sole occupant of the northbound vehicle, Edith Schmucker, 56, Nappanee, Indiana was pronounced deceased at the scene.”
Two of the others killed in the crash, Zachery Potts and Emma Thomson, worked on Walorski’s staff.
“Dean Swihart, Jackie’s husband, was just informed by the Elkhart County Sheriff’s office that Jackie was killed in a car accident this afternoon. She has returned home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Walorski’s office said in a statement. “Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers. In addition to the devastating loss of Congresswoman Walorski, it is with a broken heart that I announce the passing of two dedicated members of her staff, Zach Potts and Emma Thomson. They were the epitome of public servants who cared deeply about the work they performed on behalf of the constituents of Indiana’s Second Congressional District.” (more)

Suspicious cat, where are you. Praying for the family of the loved ones lost.

I know.. my first instinct is.. they killed her…
🎯
Dead God, how sad. Please dear God support these families
Very sad. RIP
Motive: Was she investigating anything potentially incredibly damaging? Did she submit a bill, which had a good chance of passing, which would have either reformed something or exposed something?
Evidence: Is the SUV, which crashed into her, hackable? Can forensic be performed on the computer subsystem to detect intrusion or manipulation? The gateway to the system could be the bluetooth subsystem. Is there an unknown device registered?
May G-d bless her soul and comfort her family.
Ragle – Isn’t it a sad state of affairs that we have to ask these questions?? God Bless them all.
For me, it started with JFK’s assassination. Many, if not all, eye- witnesses who spoke out against government version, died.
Heart attacks at 26. Drove off a bridge, etc. It seems there were about 40 people who met “untimely” deaths.
Now it’s first thing that comes to my mind. We’ve seen it with witnesses or those about to fall on their swords to get to the bottom of things.
Thank you. All the right questions. Every incident like this must require extensive, intensive, investigations.
These days we should question everything.
So who investigates the investigators?
How convenient — Quis custodiet ipsos custodes
Today?
Themselves.
yeh it’s kind of like when some seemingly fit and healthy person just randomly drops dead for no reason at all the first thing that gets asked now is “were they vaccinated?” that was an unheard of question prior to this all this BS.
Yes, the lady who drove into the oncoming traffic may well have passed out due to the mRNA poison.
Yesterday during a routine Dr visit, my doctor of 30 years told me that “out of nowhere” one of his eyes developed a blood clot requiring emergency surgery. While being admitted for surgery, the same thing happened to his other eye leaving him temporarily blind. Surgery on both of his eyes were successful and his sight restored after a 3 week recovery period. This is a doc who told me up until now, he’d missed 2 days of work in 30 years. Has had zero health issues until now. Of course this was a Dr who was vaccinated and boosted and was 100% pro clot shot. Amazingly, he asked me if I had changed my mind about getting the jab and he himself has not made the connection between his emergency eye condition and the clot shots. Told him, no I still wasn’t interested in the jab
“Amazingly, he asked me if I had changed my mind about getting the jab and he himself has not made the connection between his emergency eye condition and the clot shots. Told him, no I still wasn’t interested in the jab.”
There is none so blind as those who WILL not see.
Literally!
Seeing often is admitting one was wrong. Not easy.
Some re: the Vax, are surely so afflicted.
You should have asked him if maybe the vaccine didnt cause those blood clots because there has been a lot on VAERS about the blood clot side effects of these mRNA vaccines
What an idiot
The scientists, doctors etc have lost the abiltiy of critical thinking
Moral Blinding: How the COVID-Prevention Fetish Killed Critical Thinking

What you are describing is SADS, Sudden Adult Death Syndrome. What Representative Walorski suffered was SCDS, Sudden Conservative Death Syndrome. This syndrome has many symptoms. The plane in which you are flying suddenly develops engine trouble. Your car either begins to steer itself or your car becomes a SUV magnet. Or, even more inexplicable, heavily armed lunatics suddenly show up at your baseball game (Rand) or home (Kavanaugh).
Unfortunately, Walorski is now on a rather long list of conservatives suddenly dying.
I do not know what happen. But, this SCDS is eerie.
Let’s wait until the details, the report, comes out. It is a conservative county, bordering Amish country in Indiana.
People can have a medical emergency while driving, get flustered at a roundabout and choose the wrong lane…we don’t know.
A horrible blow to all four families.
Prayer needed.
Actually, you are entirely correct. My cynicism is bleeding through.
Was she against gun control?
Yes
Wikileaks Vault 7
They are all hackable. By design
CIA software.
Maybe she had something on John Brennan, like Mr. Hastings?
Not kidding.
This is war. She and her aides fell in service to our country. May they RIP, and let us not forget the innocent driver of the hacked vehicle as well.
IMHO
Unfortunately my thoughts immediately went where you are thinking. The vehicle with the single occupant, the 56 year old woman, was apparently the one that crossed over the center line. If it was hacked, and steering was controllable by the computer, were there any other vehicles within 1/4 or 1/2 mile range, or any drones flying nearby. There would need to be eyes-on surveillance, real-time control of the hacked vehicle to steer it into Walorski’s vehicle at the right moment.
Most likely this was simply a fatal accident that would have involved whoever was traveling southbound at that location at that moment in time. We’ll see what the investigation produces..,or rather what they announce it produced.
My suspicions would lean more toward a two-word question about the other driver: Recently Vaxxed?
Yes, that too. Absolutely that should be determined. But the timing of her reaction – if she had one – was most unfortunate and could be suspicious.
Or on their phone???
“The woods are lovely dark and deep, and I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.” — Telefon
That’s what I was thinking.
I know a family where the mom turned around to give a crying baby a bottle while driving down a street.
The baby is an orphan now.
Or…was the driver of the other vehicle vaxxxed? Sudden heart issues and strokes are known adverse effects. Tragically, there has been a large increase in car accidents recently.
This news is devastating for four families. May Almighty God be with them in their grief.🙏
You and Sherri are on the same wavelength here. I thought about it but then dismissed it thinking about the too-coincidental timing… But yes it should be right up there in the investigation.
I do have doubts that the authorities will disclose that information…. if they even look into it.
And it won’t bring back any of the deceased victims… but it’s a nagging and valid question.
It’s just terrible, GB. And I debated whether in the face of this tragedy to post it.
But the question becomes more relevant every day and must be asked, even if, as you say, there will be no information released as to the answer.
They can track realtime via gps and satellite for visual.
Many cars now have cameras and radar as part of their assisted driving systems.
Combined with GPS and spook tech I’m not so sure true eyes on would be necessary.
Both vehicles could be hacked simultaneously to use sensors and controls of both vehicles to accomplish a hit.
Yes, but I don’t think the majority of vehicles now operating on the roads are there yet. That tech – Adaptive Cruise Control – is being put in the more costly models in prep for autonomous control. Today only the more expensive makes and models include steering in their ACC packages.
Vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that automate some tasks — braking, acceleration and steering in some situations — are more common at all price levels for 2022, but still not in the majority of models. Looking backwards, this technology is not very old in middle and lower priced vehicles.
So, unless the 56 year old woman’s vehicle is very new and/or very expensive, it likely did not have assisted steering control.
My Subaru has all those goodies.
Guess I need to put in a kill switch in case it goes all HAL on me.
That’d be an excellent idea.
Was there a drone in the area? What other cars were nearby? Who was driving them?
Were both cars able to be hacked and geolocated on an accurate real time map, just via car computer systems, or would you need a line of sight?
Questions, questions.
All modern cars are connected just like cell phones, speaking to eachother and pinging, etc.
She and her staff were in the SUV. Head on with a car in the wrong lane:
“A northbound passenger car traveled left of center and collided head on with a southbound sports utility vehicle. All three occupants in the southbound vehicle died as a result of their injuries: Jackie Walorski, 58, Elkhart, Indiana Zachery Potts, 27, Mishawaka, Indiana Emma Thomson, 28, Washington, DC
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/indiana-gop-congresswoman-jackie-walorski-killed-car-crash?yptr=yahoo
Will we ever know the truth?
NO.
Quite possible that the truth will be revealed but we are now too jaded to receive it. Sad!
Good questions. I remember a man who told his family he was afraid the FBI was going to kill him had his car accelerate to over 100MPH before it crashed and burned. Yes, modern vehicles can indeed be hacked. Even aircraft can be hacked and flown into the ground. Where oh where is suspicious cat?
It’s the computers , which are in everything. Even one’s robo vac can be hacked.
Electric assisted steering is not a good option for your car or your health it seems.
Michael Hastings?
Michael Hastings
RIP
Car northbound – Edith Schmucker, 56, Nappanee, Indiana.
SUV southbound – Jackie Walorski, 58, Elkhart, Indiana Zachery Potts, 27, Mishawaka, Indiana Emma Thomson, 28, Washington, DC.
40k a year die in car wrecks in this country. Does each and everything that sucks like a fatal car wreck have to be seen as some sort of conspiracy?
It is the times we live in. The Congresswoman served on the Ethics Committee, Pelosi is out of the country, just saying.
Very bad /sad – head on collision on 2 lane road at 12:30 in afternoon ! Other driver distracted ? Crosses over and smashes onto Congresswoman’s car – what can you say …
Could have been medical.
That would be quite the coincidence.
Yes, I was wondering if the other driver had a vax-induced heart attack?
Pictures of scene show it happened on a curve.
Yes. In some pictures on https://nypost.com/2022/08/03/us-rep-jackie-walorski-killed-in-indiana-car-crash/ you can see the curve, which was pretty sharp for a 55 mph zone. And the curve is just after a slight hill, which would partially block your vision of oncoming cars.
I wonder if the other driver (56-year-old Edith Schmucker) was going too fast to stay in her own lane, on that curve.
Forgive me, but Edith is an odd name for a 56 year old…
May God comfort her family and her constituents. We need more like her. Let’s pray for good to come out of this sadness.
looks like a real accident
So do most set up accidents.
That’s true, but here, “they” would have had to pick a Manchurian candidate and program her car in sync with the congresswoman’s. That’s quite a needle to thread. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
If it is a real accident why are so many conservatives killed in REAL accidents?
Prayers for their families….
Something Fuddy about this .
God give comfort to her family. RIP Amen
Sad news. Prayers for the families.
As a Hoosier, this is very sad news indeed. Rep. Walorski was a wonderful leader. She also served in the IN State House for a number of years and she and her husband were missionaries in Romania for many years prior to her political career.
My heart breaks for her family as well as the familes of her staff, Zachary Potts and Emma Thompson.
RIP, Jackie.
Wow we lost a good one.
https://walorski.house.gov/
This just sucks.
https://heavy.com/news/zachery-potts-emma-thomson/
Wow. The aids were very young, both under 30.
Very sad all around.
the guy driving the other vehicle was texting. I guarantee it.
I see it where I live more and more. Is terrifying. I even see it on the freeway. Usually young people.
It was a 56 year old woman driving the other vehicle.
Schmucker?
It was destiny. .
Highly doubtful.
Destiny will become involved though.
I see people of all ages screwing around on their phones while driving, and it seems like a lot of them are older women. Younger kids seem better at hiding it.
The driver of the other vehicle was neither young nor a guy.
More than a little suspicious I’d say, coming the day after so many MAGA wins in the primaries. I hope it gets thoroughly investigated.
And very sad. Prayers for the family.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend, Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, her aide Emma Thomson, and community leader Zachery Potts. Jackie was a wonderful woman and an impassioned advocate for the people of Indiana. We worked together very closely, and I was privileged to know her for many years. May the families and loved ones of Jackie, Emma, and Zachery find comfort during this tragic time. They will be greatly missed!
God rest their souls. 😔
From all I know of her, she was a one of the good people in D.C.
I’m certain we will learn the other vehicle crossed the centerline because the driver had a medical emergency. Most likely a heart attack.
I’m betting cell phone.
AT THE SAME TIME AS WALORSKY?
Rest In Peace fellow patriot.
Life. Each of us never knows when it will end on earth. Live your life to the fullest, greatest self-expectation and have no regrets. I believe that she lived her life to its fullest expectation … no matter the difficulties, she is now an Angel for eternity, spreading her joy and God’s word to all. Life means to Live, Love, Give and Spread joy everywhere. There lies peace, love and harmony. What you give is what you get … make giving from a place of joy and love, no matter when life on earth ends. She was a giver and a joy. Amen
I think she was one of the good ones.
texting?
Heartfelt prayers and sympathy for friends and family of all the victims.
Wasn’t there a similar accident a few years ago? It seems like there was a candidate — either imcumbent or challenger — who was killed in a head-on collision when the driver of the other vehicle crossed over into the candidate’s lane. IIRC, it was a divided highway at that point. Also seems like the accident occurred in either Florida or Georgia, but could be wrong on this.
Kattie Arrington was almost killed in a car accident when the other car crossed into her lane. Had to finish campaigning from a hospital bed and lost.
That might be the one.
Thanks.
Vaccident? Had Edith Schmucker gotten her 2 jabs + booster, I wonder?
Dear God, prayers for the blessed departws and their poor families for thei loss!!
Sad…so sad…driving is SO very dangerous….please all conscientiously exercise greater caution while driving…I drove trucks eight years….tankers loaded heavy over the road and locally in Houston and work in an oil refinery now on a Hydro cracker unit….1880 PSI of hydrogen…a huge system…and it is more dangerous for me to GET to work than it is to BE there…driving is not a safe activity no matter how we dismiss it…please be cautious…
Oh, not again! Sickening.
Too soon to do anything other than be respectful of their loss, and offer solemn prayer and privacy for the loved ones.
And after time has passed, no questions will be allowed. God rest their souls, what a horrible shame.
Prayers for all…So sad.
Our prayers for those killed and may those mourning them find comfort in kind .
Our suspicions do need to be on alert as the investigation moves thru the normal phases . However the very nature of the leftist agenda murder and treason are not beyond the scope of probabilities .
The easier it is to pass off as a tragic unfortunate event the deeper investigators need to dig !
The “investigators,” if in gummint, are not to be trusted. Never again (and never could be in my long-term opinion).
There are people in our independent media who, if they look into it, might have a chance of getting at the truth. But that’s all.
Democrats will once again show that they’re the most hateful violent and intolerant people on the planet with many of their comments . Soulless bastards
Very sad and tragic, she looks so young and vibrant. Prayers and sorrow for all concerned, family, friends, co-workers.
Condolences and prayers for the families. 🙏 RIP.
so sad about those people,praying for The Family,
Lord God,
protect and keep the souls who have departed
the physical existence of earth.
Guide and keep the families of
the deceased.
Amen
So this is some Dem jerk pointing out what’s “wrong” with her record.
But if what he says is true, my goodness, this woman was absolutely AMAZING!
We need 400 more just like her.
What a terrible loss.
GOOD LADY. Didn’t Agree with EVERYTHING, BUT MY GOOD REPRESENTATIVE in IN-2.
Going to MISS HER and HER ” HOOSIERS FIRST ” – FARMERS and VETERANS AGENDAS.
–> i LOOKED on the Indiana SoS Website and Can’t Decipher HOW the District will Fill HER Seat <– Anyone Help me with this question ?
A Turning ” Traffic ” Circle Area and the Preliminary Reports are that the Single Occupant Northbound vehicle crossed the center line.

IF it would have been reversed and a demon-crat and aides we would have had to put up with 2 weeks of tv mourning and 4 funerals.
Prayers and condolences, for the Walorski family. And RIP Rep. Walorski
Zachery Potts and Emma Thomson and their families are also in my prayers. My condolences to their families as well.
She may have been part of the Tea Party, but the longer she stayed in Congress, the more RINOy she became with a Liberty Score of 52% or an “F” grade. Very sorry for her family. RIP.
This is so sad. RIP Congresswoman Jackie Walorski, and staff.
I strongly suspect a cell phone was the cause.
Sad to admit that I had day dreamed for this outcome earlier in the day for the worst RINO there is… and then this happens to a real Conservative. My sincere condolences to the family!
At face value we have to believe what we are told but if the car which caused the accident has systems that can be hacked or self steer or backup it wouldn’t be the first time this kind of accident deliberately happened.
The Clowns In Action attempted to kill Putin years ago taking control of a car and ramming his head on.
we have to believe what we are told
Uh, no. Let’s not!
Rest is peace Ms. Walorski, Ms. Tompson and Mr. Potts. May God grant comfort and peace to your loved ones.
June 2018: South Carolina congressional candidate seriously injured in head on collision.
“South Carolina Republican congressional candidate Katie Arrington, who ousted incumbent U.S. Representative Mark Sanford in a primary this month, was seriously injured in a car crash that killed the driver of a second vehicle
Arrington, a state representative, defeated Sanford, who at times was critical of U.S. President Donald Trump in a primary on June 13. She made Sanford’s criticism of Trump a theme of her campaign, “
I am so suspicious of these car accidents when conservative Tea Party supporters are killed
RIP.
Walorski had just concluded a ribbon cutting ceremony in Claypool, Indiana and was en route to a 2:00 p.m. town hall event in North Liberty, IN. Google Map driving directions from Claypool to NL – she was traveling north not south.
And her driver, Zachery Potts, chose his own route instead of following GPS directions.
Why is it always the good people. I guess we haven’t suffered enough yet.
First of all, RIP to Congresswoman Walorski, a real tragedy indeed.
I must say however that being simultaneously a staunch defender of the MIC and a Tea Party enthusiast never made sense to me. They should be mutually exclusive if America ever has a chance of becoming America again.
Given the police reports, I would think this was what it was – an accident, with the driver who crossed over probably on the telephone texting while driving.
I think such Republicans as Rep. Walorski might be more susceptible to car crashes simply because they are out more on the road to meet voters in small towns and rural areas.
