The relationship between President Trump and former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene grew so poisonous that the White House told the Secret Service that Greene may have tipped off Code Pink protesters about his surprise visit last fall to a D.C. restaurant she recommended, two sources on Trump's team tell Axios. That episode — which involved a chaotic confrontation between anti-war activists and Trump — embarrassed the president and intensified concerns in the White House about his safety, a year after he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt. Why it matters: Trump aides view the Joe's Seafood debacle as a point of...

Gov. Brian Kemp has set a special election for Tuesday, March 10, 2026, to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia’s 14th congressional district. On Nov. 21, 2025, Greene - who was elected to the northwest Georgia district in 2020 and overwhelmingly re-elected since - said she was resigning over her disillusionment with the nation’s current political climate, stemming from a recent political split with President Donald Trump. The election will decide who will fill the rest of Greene’s 2026 term. About an hour after Kemp’s announcement, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office announced the qualifying dates: Monday, Jan. 12,...

Some Democrats are grumbling at their party's largely oppositional stance to President Trump's raid to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, saying privately that their colleagues should be celebrating. Why it matters: These lawmakers argue it could be a major political miscalculation if the party fails to applaud the downfall of a brutal dictator with sufficient volume, even given grave concerns about the operation's legality and longer-term ramifications. Party leaders have raged at Trump for bypassing Congress and leaving them in the dark about the operation to capture Maduro, which involved striking several military targets in Venezuela's capital city. And many...

In the Lutheran church of the German city of Lübeck, on the eve of Christmas, the traditional service was complemented by a performance of a pole dancer. As reported by BILD, the "service," which included a pole performance, was held on December 22, 2025.At St. Mary's Church in Lübeck, the head of the studio and poledance trainer Anke Kestermann performed immediately after the sermon, showcasing her "art" on the pole.

Several beauty trends for conservative women have emerged this year, some with a certain underlying level of humor—from the so-called Mar-a-Lago face to the "conservative girl" makeup. What all these trends have in common under the umbrella of MAGA beauty is an emphasis on hyperfeminine attire—sky-high stilettos, fitting skirts, bouncy hair, full-coverage makeup, and conspicuous plastic surgery. Greene said that while she had not previously spoken up against these trends, she disliked them. “I believe how women in leadership present themselves sends a message to younger women,” she told The New York Times. In an interview with The New York...

Newsdump Alert: The United States Attacking Venezuela And Seizing Its President Nicolas Maduro New York Times Reports 40 Venezuelans Killed... A rehearsal for what might happen in Iran. President Trump made noise about Iran Friday morning to distract a bit from this IMHO. Many see this as distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein Files as well. Mr. Trump's rambling statement about the operation to capture Maduro reminded me of the kind of...

I’ve served on the Homeland Security Committee for the past three years. I’m 100% for strong safe secure borders and stopping narco terrorists and cartels from trafficking deadly drugs and human trafficking into America. Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border. Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs. If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) did not leave Washington as a martyr to principle. She left as a case study in how rank opportunism masquerades as populism, and how loudly proclaimed integrity can coexist with some of the most cynical behavior the D.C. swamp has on offer. Greene entered Congress in January 2021, branding herself as a sworn enemy of the political class, promising to drain the swamp and to stand shoulder to shoulder with working Americans. Five years later, she timed her exit to meet the minimum service threshold for securing a taxpayer-funded congressional pension. That benefit was locked...

While soon-to-be-former Georgia Republican Congresscritter Marjorie Taylor Greene continues her one-sided breakup from President Donald Trump, one of her favorite conspiracy theories just became reality in Israel. That's right: Jewish Space Lasers are real, everybody. Well, kind of. As of this week, there are lasers, and they are deployed for the defense of the Jewish homeland, but the Jewish lasers are not actually out in space. Although we're working on that as part of Trump's Golden Dome missile shield. More on that story soon, I hope. But you might recall that way back in 2018 — two years before her...

The suspected terrorist charged with gunning down two Israeli embassy workers in Washington Wednesday is associated with radical socialist groups funded by the far-left Chinese sympathizer, millionaire Neville Singham and his activist wife Jodie Evans. Elias Rodriguez, 31, who allegedly confessed to killing the couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum and chanted “free, free Palestine!” was part of that network through his association with the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a Communist political organization that has fielded presidential candidates since 2008. In 2018, Rodriguez also raised $240 in a GoFundMe campaign to join the March to Fight Poverty in...

Far-right podcaster and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has taken aim at Israel again, accusing the Israeli government and its supporters of engaging in a campaign to promote fear of Islamic extremism and terrorism, while he downplayed the threat of violence by radical Islamic groups. On Friday, Carlson spoke by phone with Harrison Berger in an interview published by The American Conservative magazine. The magazine was established by former Republican strategist and presidential hopeful Pat Buchanan to promote his isolationist brand of paleoconservatism after he split with the Republican party. Berger, a correspondent for The American Conservative, is also...

Eleven days after Charlie Kirk was killed in September, Marjorie Taylor Greene, the third-term Georgia congresswoman, was watching his memorial service on TV as the luminaries of the conservative movement and the Trump administration gathered to pay tribute to the young activist. What stayed with Greene long afterward were the last two speakers who took the stage. First there was Kirk’s widow, Erika, who stood in white before the crowd filling the Arizona stadium, lifted her tear-filled eyes and said that she forgave her husband’s killer. And then there was President Trump. “He was a missionary with a noble spirit...

Jennings: MTG Became a ‘Lib,’ She Went ‘Off the Deep End’ Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” CNN political commentator Scott Jennings said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went “off the deep end” and became liberal. Host Jonathan Karl said, “The, kind of, divide in MAGA, which is a relatively new phenomenon — I mean, there was always a little bit there, but if I were to say what the most surprising story was, I would say Marjorie Taylor Greene becomes not just a Trump critic, but a—” Jennings said, “MTG becomes a lib. I mean, that is what happened...

Marjorie Taylor Greene and her new fiancé spent Christmas all loved up in Costa Rica, the Daily Mail can reveal The congresswoman appeared de-mob happy as she prepares to step down in the new year, strolling hand-in-hand with Brian Glenn along the beach on Christmas Day.

PHOENIX—All eyes were on Gen Z this weekend as more than 10,000 students gathered at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, where speakers and panels discussed the issues motivating Gen Z heading into a pivotal election year. After making impressive inroads with young voters in the 2024 presidential election, the conservative movement is vigorously debating how to address young voters’ concerns heading into the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election. From the main stage to The Daily Signal’s interviews with students in attendance, one issue rose above the rest: affordability. Affordability Is Everything “Probably the most important economic issue of our...

Bondi Beach is meant to be neutral ground. A place without history. A democratic beautiful stretch of sand where politics dissolves into sunlight, surf, and families pushing strollers toward the water. That illusion died when Jews gathered there to light Hanukkah candles—and were slaughtered for it. The massacre belongs to a broader pattern that has accelerated since Oct. 7, 2023: Jews targeted far from any battlefield, in the ordinary spaces of civic life. Synagogues, campuses, cafés, city streets—and now a beach—have become killing fields aimed not at a state, but at a people. The mass murder at Bondi did not...

Summary A few Republicans join Democrats in criticizing Epstein release as inadequate Justice Department missed deadline for full Epstein file disclosure Critics say redactions fuel conspiracy theories, erode Trump support The U.S. Justice Department released a partial, heavily redacted set of Epstein-related files on December 19-20, 2025, missing a congressional deadline for full disclosure under a bipartisan law signed by President Trump in November. The release included approximately 300,000 pages of documents, photos, and materials, with extensive redactions—including entirely blacked-out sections—and featured prominent references to former President Bill Clinton but few to Trump. Criticism came from both parties: Democrats accused...

The House GOP passed a bill outright banning transgender surgeries for minors, yet some Republicans still objected. Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill Protect Children's Innocence Act passed in a 216-211 late-night vote on Wednesday. This legislation would make it a felony to perform sex changes or provide puberty blockers and hormone therapy to children.

Mike Lawler of New York, Mike Kennedy of Utah, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and Gabe Evans of Colorado voted against criminalizing transgender surgeries...

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A former Voice of America employee pleaded guilty Thursday to making threats against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) for the District of Columbia. Seth Jason, 64, was charged with one count of interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure and one count of anonymous telecommunications harassment. According to court documents, Jason called in eight threats targeting Greene, her office, her family and her staff between Oct. 2023 and Jan. 2025, with the severity of the threats increasing over time.

The House of Representatives voted on Wednesday evening to pass the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, which will make it a crime for sex-change surgery and hormonal treatments to be provided to minors. The bill, authored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), makes it criminal to “knowingly perform, or attempt to perform, genital or bodily mutilation on another person who is a minor” with penalties of up to ten years in prison. It further protects minors from chemical castration or hormonal treatments. Parents who facilitate, consent to, or transport the minor to receive sex change surgeries could also be charged. This...
