Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia advocated for the abolition of property taxes and described health insurance as a big "scam." "We need to completely abolish property taxes. It forces us to pay ‘rent’ to the government on property that we own, but if we don’t pay property taxes, the property that we own gets taken away from us. That should never happen in a free country," Greene declared in a post on X. "Secondly, health insurance is a giant scam that has become completely unaffordable. And it doesn’t make any sense and I don’t know anyone, and I...

Two shots to the face of a felonious attacker solves a lot of problems for a lawful and responsible gun owner whose life is being threatened. Traditionally, many trainers teach the Mozambique drill as two to the chest and one to the head. But sometimes you have to improvise when under attack and two to the face works well, too. A man riding a Greyhound bus did just that when an armed robber struck at 5:30am outside Atlanta’s bus station. Somehow the story of a good guy with a gun thwarting a violent perpetrator committing a felonious attack doesn’t sell...

Republican Sen. Tim Scott's goal in next year's midterm elections is not only to defend the GOP's 53-47 margin in the Senate, but to expand the majority. Scott, the conservative senator from South Carolina, told Fox News Digital soon after taking over late last year as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) that he aimed to increase the GOP's control in the chamber to at least 55 seats. And he's standing by his goal. "The bottom line is, I believe that we can defend our current seats while adding at least two more seats to our numbers," the...

WLWT said each suspect faces up to 29.5 years in prison if convicted on all eight charges. "What I saw on video is not the Cincinnati I know and love," Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich said when announcing the indictments, the station reported. "These charges hold those involved in the attack accountable." WLWT said the following five...

Many enemies of Israel, including some in the United States Congress, see the U.S.-Israel relationship as one-sided. This is true of Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who, in interview with Steve Bannon earlier this month, stated, “I’m entering amendments to strike 500 million more dollars for nuclear-armed Israel. .... The $500 million Rep. Greene is speaking of is for missile defense cooperation, and the U.S. Defense Department is a major beneficiary of Israeli research and development. As a result of the experience Israel has garnered from employing various missile defense systems — such as the Iron Dome, David Sling, and Arrow...

CIA Director John Ratcliffe told the press that officials from the Barack Obama administration—including former CIA chief John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey—may be charged for their role in Russiagate, the spy operation designed to topple the first Donald Trump administration. With FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly overseeing a criminal conspiracy case involving Brennan, Comey, and others, there’s reason for optimism that those who targeted the president, his aides, and supporters from 2016 to 2024 will finally be held accountable. Naturally, those with the most to lose, such as former Obama officials implicated in the biggest political scandal in...

When asked how far the US government has plunged into the red, many fiscally-conscious Americans will tell you the national debt has reached $37 trillion. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.That huge discrepancy springs from the fact that the federal government doesn’t hold itself to the same accounting standards it imposes on businesses. Rather than using accrual accounting — which recognizes expenses when they’re incurred — our Washington overlords self-servingly...

@RepMTG Nuclear-armed Israel is not hurting, and they've already proven that they are more than capable of not only defending themselves, but annihilating their enemies to the point of genocide. The reason why AIPAC is attacking me is because I dared to tell the truth. We’re $37 TRILLION in debt. I’m fighting for America’s future generations. AMERICA ONLY now.

Are Jewish patients safe in hospitals from pro-Hamas medical professionals? Antisemitism in health care is causing many Jews to wonder if they are safe under hospital care, as it has grown to outrageous levels in the West. Last March, Israeli new site ynet news reported: OHSU [Oregon Health and Science University Hospital] fires nurse Camesha Hart after antisemitic posts, including refusal to treat Jews and praise for Hamas, saying Bibas family should be 'grateful' their bodies weren’t returned in body bags; her nursing license remains valid through 2025. From Australia, the BBC reported: A second Sydney nurse who allegedly appeared...
