Firebrand Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has issued a surprising statement critical of President Donald Trump. The Georgia congresswoman is known for her loyal support of the two-time president and her devout defense of his MAGA policy platform.

'I represent the base and when I'm frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,' Greene, wrote on X alongside a...

THIS is Why People Think 'The Homeless' May Have Started the California Fires

Multiple prominent conservative Catholic social media personalities have joined their voices to online conspiracy theorists who believe that the United States government controls the weather. The outlandish claims gained traction in the wake of the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene and picked up steam during the unprecedented strengthening of Hurricane Milton — but did not reach mainstream social media until Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) proclaimed on X: "Yes, they can control the weather." There is no evidence that the government or any other entity can control, manipulate or route a hurricane or storm in a specific direction. Officials warn...

That request went to M. Kaleo Manuel, Deputy Director of Hawaii's Commission on Water Resource Management, and he delayed approval of that water for five hours - five hours in which the once-contained fire exploded. By the time the approval was received, workers were unable to reach...

Commander Hoot Gibson and pilot Guy Gardner flew the approach, while mission specialist Mike Mullane, at the other end of the flight deck, readied the shuttle’s robot arm for a capture. Downstairs in the airlock, mission specialists Jerry Ross and Bill Shepherd waited in their spacesuits for Gibson’s order to go outside and attempt a rescue.
