Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) unleashed her outrage on Pete Hegseth following the deaths of two U.S. service members. On Saturday, the secretary of defense took to X to repost the news of the military personnel killed and injured on Friday. "Godspeed, heroes," Hegseth, 46, declared. "Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve." In response, Greene, 52, sent a scathing message of her own. "Sacrifice?? What the f"k are you talking about??" she wrote on X. "They did not willingly sacrifice themselves." Greene " who resigned from Congress in January 2026 and announced she was done supporting the Republican Party " continued: "They were killed because of the war you, Trump and the admin, are waging on behalf of a FOREIGN COUNTRY, Israel."
Between 2007 and 2024, Florida attempted to rebuild the Gulf of Mexico's ecosystem in an unusual way: dumping over 500,000 tons of recycled oyster and clam shells straight back into the water. These shells were gathered from seafood restaurants (quite literally scraped off of plates) as well as seafood plants. So essentially, a massive amount of sinking, rotting garbage was supposedly going to bring the struggling sandy seafloors back to life.

Iran's improving ability to strike sensitive targets has raised concerns among U.S. officials that the regime may be receiving targeting assistance from China or Russia, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported, as Iran killed two U.S. service members and left a third missing in an attack on a Jordanian air base.
It's no secret that JD Vance has lost the confidence of many Jewish Republicans, who have taken issue with the vice president's reprimanding of Israeli officials, indulgence of anti-Israel conspiracy theories and silence on Tucker Carlson, the prominent pundit who has turned against Israel. But Vance is still thought by many to be Donald Trump's likeliest successor at the top of the party's ticket in 2028, leaving the GOP's Jewish supporters with the question of whom to back when Trump's second term ends.

They were the big losers from Brexit -- and they weren't even allowed to vote. A full decade after Britain's shock decision to leave the European Union, young Brits are clamoring for rapprochement. First and foremost, they want to be allowed to live and work in Europe -- just as their parents could.
Israel is spending about $50 million on a US influence campaign to improve its tarnished image as American support has fallen over its genocidal wars against the Palestinian, Lebanese, and Iranian people. The PSYOP campaign, led in part by former Dummkopf Trumpf adviser Brad Parscale, uses AI-generated text messages, conservative media advertising, influencer outreach, websites, and AI chatbots to spin positive information about Israel. This is part of a broader $700 million diabolical Israeli effort to strengthen its terrible, but accurate, global image as a Pariah nation of mass murderers and ethnic cleansers.
Israel is using part of our own billions of dollars we give them for free every year against us: "You're good people."
Influencer brothers Andrew and Tristan Tate, whose social media empire promoting wealth, male dominance and misogyny has made them among the world's most polarizing internet personalities, were arrested Saturday in Miami as British authorities sought their extradition on rape and sex trafficking charges.

Two U.S. servicemembers were killed and several were wounded in an Iranian attack on an air base in Jordan, further escalating a weeklong exchange of fire where both sides have been striking a broader array of targets. U.S. Central Command, which oversees American forces in the Middle East, confirmed the deaths and said another servicemember is missing as a result of the attack. Four servicemembers were medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals and have since been discharged, according to Centcom. Other personnel who were evaluated for minor injuries have been returned to duty, Centcom added.
As Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian walked alongside the coffin of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Tehran last week, some of the black-clad mourners surrounding him chanted not in tribute to the late leader, but directly at him " "death to the compromiser." Not far from that site, Abbas Araghchi, Iran's top diplomat who negotiated a ceasefire with the Trump administration and lifted some sanctions on the Islamic Republic, was forced to flee the funeral after a mob pelted him with rocks amid death chants accusing him of being a "traitorous sellout."

Israel's defence and finance ministers announced plans for three illegal settlements in Gaza and more than $400m (300m) in funding to expand construction in the occupied West Bank, as Israel's military commander for the region celebrated violent outposts as his "security partners". Read more
Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a Democrat, faced a week of hell thanks to the release of multiple bombshell reports about him and his allies. The first report revealed that LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, a prominent billionaire venture capitalist, donated $10 million last month to a PAC supporting Talarico's campaign. This is problematic because Hoffman has ties to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. "The release of the Epstein files' showed Hoffman maintained contact with Epstein after the financier pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in 2008," according to The Texas Tribune. Yet Talarico has repeatedly insisted in his attacks on Republicans that "the Epstein class has no place in Texas." Unless, it appears, the so-called "Epstein class" is donating to one's campaign?

Oligarch and freshman US Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) will introduce legislation to sanction Canada and Canadian officials over the huge wildfires that have poured smoke and haze across the US, creating hazardous air-quality conditions. In addition, White House hobgoblin Stephen Miller's wife, Katie, posted on social media that the wildfire smoke over America somehow absurdly proves that Canada should be an American state.
