What happened?
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning her seat in the House. I wonder if it has anything to do with her push to have the Epstein files released or is she getting ready to run for a higher office?
MTG
Wow, what a plot twist — applauding Marjorie Taylor Greene for courage. That’s like discovering the fire alarm is lecturing the arsonist about safety protocols. But yes, in this bizarre political timeline, MTG pushing back on Trump feels less like heroism and more like the moment when the side character finally realizes the main villain will absolutely throw everyone under the bus, even his biggest fans. Strange days when she is the one telling Trump to cool it … and she’s not wrong.
How about that?
All these alleged attacks from Democrats couldn’t stop Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for five years. But one week of being put on blast by President Trump and the far-right Republicans, and she’s heading for the hills.
Some timing
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene hung around just long enough to secure her pension and then dipped? Seems pretty clear who she’s most concerned about, huh?
Enough is enough
I am deeply alarmed by the growing trend of elected officials — particularly within the Democratic Party — openly encouraging servicemembers to ignore or “reinterpret” orders on the basis of what they personally consider “illegal.” While no member of the Armed Forces should ever carry out an unlawful order, it is dangerously irresponsible to promote confusion, hesitation, and selective obedience in our military ranks. Encouraging troops to second-guess every directive is not about integrity—it is about undermining the chain of command and weakening national security from the inside. Our military must never become a political tool, nor a playground for ideological manipulation. Any attempt by elected officials to politicize or disrupt lawful military leadership must be condemned and corrected immediately.
What’s not to like?
I can understand why some people don’t like President Trump. He can personally be obnoxious, outrageous and full of himself, but he truly loves the United States. What exactly do you think is wrong with his policies? Border control, energy development for future growth and security, gender identity with women sports, deportation of criminal immigrants, policies to avoid future and present wars, waste in taxpayer monies, military stability and the will to work with different adversaries. What’s not to like unless you just don’t like the person.
Please explain
It was so hilarious to see the post saying President Trump “never advocates for dialogue” and “has no respect for opposing opinions” just the day after he met with Zohran Mamdani in the White House.
