The current longest-serving GOP representative had not been on record voting for or against any matters since July.
Missing since July, she was found disoriented near her former district. She has been staying at a memory care facility, as confirmed by staff to a Dallas, Texas-based news outlet.
Carlos Turcios, a reporter for a local outlet, The Dallas Express, started to do some research by contacting her offices, which never once responded to calls and went directly to voicemail.
Granger’s constituency office was also a complete ghost town upon a visit, with no signs of anyone working there.
Eventually, one of Granger’s constituents suggested to the Dallas Express that the Congresswoman was living in an assisted living facility.
She was reportedly living at a care home that specializes in memory loss after she’d been ‘found wandering, lost and confused’ in her district.
A visit to the Tradition-Clearfork in Fort Worth resulted in two employees confirming that Granger lives there. She was ‘working’ with Speaker Johnson to push conservative values until this past election. At least she is not running again.
She didn’t suddenly develop dementia. Who was voting for her in 2023 and 2024 when she chaired the all-important appropriations committee?
Who can forget the druggist in DC who admitted he regularly delivered dementia and Alzheimer’s drugs to the House of Representatives?
Of course, Democrats thought it was okay to have a seriously demented person as president. They also used to wheel former KKK Robert Byrd in and help him push buttons.
Opinion
This is a disgrace.
Some people are Sen. Grassley at 90, and others are Joe Biden or Kay Granger in their early eighties.
We need term limits or testing on the elderly, or general psych evaluations might be a good addition.

Don’t test just elderly. Probably unconstitutional anyway. Test them all including IQ and memory tests.
This country’s Founding Fathers never envisioned that members of Congress would stay there for the rest of their lives. The intent was that people from each district would be elected, serve a term in Congress, then return and resume their normal lives at home.
That’s how it was back then, but it didn’t last. Soon, these elected representatives discovered how good it felt to have the power their positions gave them, and they don’t want to give it up. Many stay there well past their ability to function productively, and we get situation like this one.
And even term limits wouldn’t fix it if someone already beginning to have cognitive issues gets elected for a first term. Only psychological evaluation would prevent this from occurring.
Thanks for the reminder of the Capitol Hill pharmacist and his delivery of dementia meds. I’d long thought that Biden, Pelosi, The Turdtle, Feinstein and many more were among his more prominent customers.
It is a disgrace, in any another position they would be retired. And when it’s overly apparent that they cannot function and are to the point of being cognitively impaired, it’s past time to call it quits. Term limits is the only reasonable solution.
It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever that they’ve already figured that out for the potus posistion but not for the other oficices, it would absolutly hinder a slew of problems, from long term deep seated coruption, hence the reason why term limits have been exiled by the governing. Too there not being a clown show of senile comprimised reprsentives; miserably failing at calling the shots.
