    MTG Congressional Exit Sparks Intense Reactions

      The fallout continues…

      Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent announcement revealing her upcoming departure from Congress has sent shockwaves through the political sphere, triggering reactions from the Left and the Right.

      Greene said Friday she will leave Congress in January, citing her falling-out with President Trump. Earlier this month, the president withdrew his endorsement of Greene amid a disagreement over the Jeffrey Epstein files. 

      Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Sunday she was surprised by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announcing her resignation over the weekend.

      “Honestly, I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’” Crockett told host Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “You’re on the other side of the president for one week, and you can’t take the heat.”

      On Sunday, the Texas Democrat accused Greene of being an “instigator” of hateful rhetoric during her time in Congress. 

      “It’s just interesting that I don’t know if she really fully understood how bad she was making it for other people,” Crockett added. 

      Last Sunday, Greene acknowledged that she has taken part in the “toxic politics” that have “plagued” the country. 

      “I am committed, I’ve been working on this a lot lately, to put down the knives in politics. I really just want to see people be kind to one another,” she told host Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”

      In his Truth Social post revoking his endorsement of the Georgia congresswoman, Trump said the rift began when he showed Greene polling data indicating she would have low support if she were to challenge Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff (Ga.) or run to succeed Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in the Peach State in 2026. 

      Last Sunday, Greene denied on CNN that such a conversation with the president took place, saying her decision not to run for higher office next year was hers alone. 

      Watch:

      Prior to her announcement, the Georgia Congresswoman was reportedly considering a run for president in 2028 — a move that, if realized, could reshape the Republican Party’s post-Trump era and test the staying power of the “America First” movement.

      According to a new report from Notus, Greene privately expressed interest in following in Donald Trump’s footsteps to the White House. The outlet cited four sources familiar with her thinking, saying Greene believes she represents the “real MAGA” faction — the core conservative movement that has reshaped the GOP since 2016 — and that many Republican leaders have drifted away from those grassroots values.

      One source told Notus that Greene feels confident she has built the national donor network and grassroots support needed to mount a serious primary campaign, especially as the GOP’s base remains loyal to Trump’s populist agenda.

      However, it’s becoming increasingly clear Greene’s political capital is shrinking by the day — while a notable figure in Trump’s Make America Great Again movement — now comes in 12th in polling averages for the GOP presidential primary, according to Race to the WH. 

      Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton predicted that Greene’s political ambitions have been indefinitely put on hold as a result of her feud with President Trump and looming exit from Congress.

      “I’m thinking there’s some other opportunity, perhaps in the media ecosystem, that she’s looking at,” CNN political commentator Shermichael Singleton said Sunday on “State of the Union.” “But I think her future life in politics in over.”

      Trump Officially Designates Saudi Arabia A ‘Major’ Ally Of United States

        President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his administration is officially designating Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally, a move that deepens both the economic and military partnership between Washington and Riyadh.

        The announcement came during Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s high-profile visit to the White House. While the event stopped short of being an official state visit—Saudi Arabia’s king is still the formal head of state—the crown prince was welcomed with many of the hallmarks typically reserved for top U.S. partners.

        “We’re taking our military cooperation to even greater heights by formally designating Saudi Arabia as a major non-NATO ally, which is something that is very important to them,” Trump said. He also revealed that the two nations had just signed “a historic strategic defense agreement.”

        The designation signals a renewed commitment to a long-standing strategic relationship—one Trump has made clear he intends to strengthen after what many Republicans saw as the Biden administration’s misguided distancing from Riyadh. The previous administration had strained ties over controversies such as the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, even as Saudi Arabia remained a critical partner in regional security and global energy markets.

        Trump also affirmed that he plans to approve Saudi Arabia’s request to purchase F-35 stealth fighter jets, one of America’s most advanced military assets. “I am planning on doing that,” the president said. “They want to buy them. They’ve been a great ally.”

        For his part, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman emphasized Saudi Arabia’s growing economic commitment to the United States, announcing the kingdom intends to increase its investment from $600 billion to “almost $1 trillion”—a staggering figure nearly equivalent to the size of its sovereign wealth fund, according to The New York Times.

        The Trump administration has prioritized rebuilding and expanding America’s alliances in the Middle East, particularly in advancing the Abraham Accords, a major diplomatic achievement of Trump’s previous term. Saudi Arabia has expressed interest in joining the framework and normalizing relations with Israel, though the kingdom has stated that progress toward a viable two-state solution remains a core requirement.

        Saudi Arabia played a significant role among Arab nations backing Trump’s brokered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas—a deal that, if successfully upheld, could bring an end to the conflict in Gaza and set the stage for the development of a future Palestinian state.

        Still, some foreign-policy analysts have raised concerns about sharing high-level U.S. technology, such as the F-35, with Saudi Arabia—especially given Riyadh’s continued defense relationship with China. According to Politico, experts warn that sensitive technology could be at risk of being accessed by Beijing. Nevertheless, supporters of the move argue that strengthening ties with a key Middle Eastern partner is essential to countering adversaries and stabilizing the region.

        Democrat Lawmaker To File Impeachment Articles Against Trump

          Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, announced Thursday morning that he plans to once again introduce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump — a move that highlights ongoing divisions within the Democratic Party over how to confront the president.

          “There will be articles of impeachment filed before the Christmas break. This, I pledge,” Green declared, framing the action as a test of Democrats’ willingness to oppose the Trump administration. “We have to participate. This is a participatory democracy. The impeachment requires the hands and the guidance of all of us.”

          Green said he will file the measure as a privileged resolution, a procedural maneuver that forces the House to consider the articles within two legislative days. Even so, the chamber can vote to table the effort before it reaches an actual impeachment vote — something that has happened repeatedly in the past.

          A Long Record of Failed Impeachment Attempts

          Thursday’s announcement marks Green’s fifth attempt to impeach Trump. Since 2017, Green has repeatedly pushed impeachment articles, often without the backing of House Democratic leadership. His previous filings — including charges such as “bigotry” and “bringing disrepute to the presidency” — were consistently tabled with bipartisan support, underscoring how little traction his efforts gained even before Trump’s two formal impeachments in 2019 and 2021.

          This history has led many observers to view Green’s actions as largely symbolic, aimed more at appealing to the party’s activist base than at producing any practical outcome.

          Progressive Frustrations with Democratic Leadership

          Green’s renewed push comes as the party’s progressive wing expresses growing dissatisfaction with Democratic leaders like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. Critics argue that leadership has failed to secure meaningful concessions during recent legislative battles — including a 43-day government shutdown — and has not mounted an effective resistance to Republican policy priorities.

          Some Democrats, such as Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, have even called for new leadership in Congress to more aggressively oppose GOP momentum.

          Dave Mytych, outreach lead for the activist group For Liberation and Resistance Everywhere (FLARE), joined Green at the press conference and directly criticized top Democrats.

          “This is what the American people want. They want fighters that hold the line. Democrats, are you listening? Leader Schumer, are you listening? Leader Jeffries, are you listening?” Mytych said.

          Questions About the Effort’s Purpose

          When asked whether another failed impeachment vote might reflect poorly on Democratic leadership, Green avoided directly answering. He instead noted that up to 80 House members have supported his proposals in the past.

          “Here’s my perspective. I believe in the Constitution,” Green said. “People who vote to table the articles are voting against impeachment.”

          He did not specify which charges he intends to bring this time.

          A Familiar Outcome Likely

          The House has impeached Trump twice before — first in 2019 over abuse of power and later in 2021 for inciting an insurrection. In both cases, the Senate ultimately voted to acquit. Green’s repeated attempts, none of which have succeeded or gained broad support, leave little expectation that this latest effort will produce a different result.

          Green also announced plans for a peaceful protest at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday alongside other advocates.

          Saudi Arabia Releases Jailed US Citizen Following Trump, Crown Prince Mohammed Meeting

          Saudi Arabia has released a United States citizen who was jailed over social media posts critical of the royal family after President Trump’s meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

          Saad Almadi, 75, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1976, was arrested in 2021 during a family visit over his remarks online. He was sentenced to more than 19 years on terrorism charges but was released in 2023 and hit with an “exit ban,” which prevented him from leaving the country.

          The terrorism charges were later decreased to “cyber crimes.”

          “This day would not have been possible without President Donald Trump and the tireless efforts of his administration,” the Almadi family said in a statement Wednesday. “We are deeply grateful to Dr. Sebastian Gorka and the team at the National Security Council, as well as everyone at the State Department.”

          The statement came shortly after Trump’s Wednesday speech at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum. 

          The Almadi family said the release “would not have been possible” without the work of the president and the “tireless efforts” of the administration, expressing gratitude to the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh for keeping Almadi “safe.” 

          One of Almadi’s posts on social media that landed him in trouble called for a street in the nation’s capital to be renamed after Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who was murdered in 2018 while at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. 

          Crown Prince Mohammed has denied involvement in the killing of the journalist, who fled Saudi Arabia in 2017, but U.S. intelligence reports in 2021 stated the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia “approved” the operation to detain or kill the columnist.

          The 9/11 Families United organization shared similar sentiments in regards to Trump’s interactions. 

          “The crown prince knows nothing of the pain of the 9/11 families. He is actively working to impede our efforts to ensure extensive evidence of Saudi government support for al-Qaeda and the terrorist hijackers are brought to light, harboring a former agent that produced a casing video of the U.S. Capitol building, and trying to rewrite history with investments,” 9/11 Families United  told The Hill in a statement. 

          Trump said Tuesday that the crown prince “knew nothing” about Khashoggi’s murder, triggering harsh criticism from press groups. 

          “We are so excited for the family that Mr. Almadi is finally on his way back to the United States! We know how long and hard the family fought to make this day possible,” the Foley Foundation, which advocates for American hostages and wrongful detainees held overseas, said Wednesday in a statement to The Hill.

          Trump Issues Pardon To Athlete Convicted After Record-Breaking Run

            President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to Michelino Sunseri, an endurance athlete who was convicted last year for descending the Grand Teton via a “restricted” trail during a record-breaking run. Sunseri’s case had become a flashpoint in the debate over federal overreach and the growing tendency of unelected bureaucrats to criminalize harmless behavior.

            Sunseri reacted to the news with relief on Monday, writing on Facebook:
            “IT’S FINALLY OVER. The trail trial of the century is officially over. In a twist even Hollywood couldn’t write, I woke up this morning to find out I’ve been given a PRESIDENTIAL PARDON from Donald J. Trump — over the Grand Teton FKT and my use of the Old Climber’s Trail.”

            A Record Run Turned Legal Battle

            In September 2024, Sunseri ascended and descended the 13,775-foot Grand Teton in an astonishing 2 hours and 50 minutes, setting a new fastest-known time. But instead of celebrating the athletic achievement, federal authorities charged him days later for taking a “prohibited” route—the Old Climber’s Trail—during his descent.

            Although the trail has long been used by climbers and is not inherently unsafe, the National Park Service classified it as “restricted,” and Sunseri was prosecuted under rules that critics say lack proper legal grounding.

            A Case of Bureaucratic Overreach?

            The Pacific Legal Foundation, which took up Sunseri’s defense, argued that the federal government had overstepped its authority. According to PLF, the regulations used to charge Sunseri were created by low-level park staff—not by Congress or any properly authorized rulemaking process.

            “We are thrilled that Michelino’s nightmare is over,” said PLF attorney Michael Poon. “But we’re not done fighting unconstitutional regulations that let unelected officials criminalize harmless conduct. We stand ready to help other Americans facing similar prosecutions.”

            This theme—federal agencies creating de facto laws without accountability—has become a major concern among conservatives, especially as executive-branch rulemaking grows in scope and impact. Sunseri’s case, many argue, is a prime example of ordinary Americans being punished by faceless, unaccountable bureaucrats.

            Sunseri: “They Tried to Make an Example of Me”

            Sunseri was convicted last September despite his defense showing that many climbers had used the same trail over the years. He said officials seemed determined to “make an example” of him rather than apply common sense.

            “This case was a massive waste of taxpayer money and government energy from the start,” Sunseri said. “Unfortunately, instead of working with me, the system tried to make an example of me. I know this pardon might get swept up in politics in this heated time, and that’s unfortunate—because this particular case is about fairness and common sense.”

            GOP Senator Swatted Hours After He’s Branded ‘RINO’ By Trump

            President Donald Trump is threatening to primary Indiana Republicans for declining to gerrymander the state and add GOP seats to Congress.

            The president has repeatedly urged GOP-led states like Indiana to redistrict and give Republicans an advantage in the 2026 midterms.

            Trump took to Truth Social Sunday to put “RINO Senators” on notice for “depriving” Republicans of a House majority.

            “Very disappointed in Indiana State Senate Republicans, led by RINO Senators Rod Bray and Greg Goode, for not wanting to redistrict their State, allowing the United States Congress to perhaps gain two more Republican seats,” Trump wrote.

            “The Democrats have done redistricting for years, often illegally, and all other appropriate Republican States have done it. Because of these two politically correct type ‘gentlemen,’ and a few others, they could be depriving Republicans of a Majority in the House, A VERY BIG DEAL!”

            Trump took a shot at California’s Prop 50 redistricting measure that passed overwhelmingly and allows the state to redraw congressional districts in favor of Democrats. Prop 50 was proposed after Texas approved redistricting in favor of Republicans.

            “California is trying to pick up five seats, and no one is complaining about that. It’s weak ‘Republicans’ that cause our Country such problems — It’s why we have crazy Policies and Ideas that are so bad for America,” Trump wrote, continuing:

            Also, a friend of mine, Governor Mike Braun, perhaps, is not working the way he should to get the necessary Votes. Considering that Mike wouldn’t be Governor without me (Not even close!), is disappointing! Any Republican that votes against this important redistricting, potentially having an impact on America itself, should be PRIMARIED. Indiana is a State with strong, smart, and patriotic people. They want us to see our Country WIN, and want to, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Senators Bray, Goode, and the others to be released to the public later this afternoon, should DO THEIR JOB, AND DO IT NOW! If not, let’s get them out of office, ASAP.

            The Indiana state lawmaker was the target of a “swatting” incident just hours later, according to local authorities.

            Sheriff Derek Fell said deputies were dispatched around 5 p.m. on Sunday after Terre Haute police received an email “advising harm had been done to persons inside a home, located in southeastern Vigo County.” Officers struggled to make contact at first, Fell said, but eventually confirmed the residents, including the senator, were safe.

            Goode and his family “were secure, safe, and unharmed,” Fell said, adding that an investigation showed the threat was a hoax, “also known as ‘swatting.’”

            In a brief statement, the senator said he and his family were “victims,” offering thanks to the sheriff and Terre Haute Police Chief Kevin Barrett for their “professionalism.”

            The incident lands amid a tense and unusually public fight over redistricting in Indiana. GOP leaders froze the process on Friday when Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray refused to reconvene lawmakers to draw new maps favoring Republicans.

            Earlier Sunday, Trump threatened to publish a list of GOP holdouts “later this afternoon,” though the promised names did not emerge.

            Ted Cruz Tees Up 2028 White House Campaign

              Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is quietly but unmistakably preparing for a 2028 presidential run — a move that could put him on a direct collision course with Vice President JD Vance in the next Republican primary. According to reporting from Axios’s Alex Isenstadt, Cruz has been meeting with donors, stepping up his presence on the national speaking circuit, and engaging deeply in Republican efforts ahead of next year’s midterm elections, all part of a broader effort to position himself for another bid for the White House.

              Gage Skidmore from Surprise, AZ, United States of America,

              A key part of Cruz’s early strategy, Isenstadt notes, involves leaning into his ongoing feud with Tucker Carlson, a prominent conservative voice and close ally of Vance. From the Axios story: “Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is laying the groundwork for a 2028 presidential bid by leaning into his feud with Tucker Carlson — and staking out turf as a traditional, pro-interventionist Republican.” The report states that by challenging Carlson’s isolationist foreign-policy views and calling out what he sees as dangerous rhetoric, Cruz is deliberately drawing a contrast with Vance, who many observers — including President Trump — view as one of the early frontrunners for the 2028 GOP nomination. In recent comments, Trump has suggested that both Vance and Senator Marco Rubio are likely to be central contenders in the next Republican race, underscoring how competitive the field may quickly become.

              Axios quotes Cruz as saying: “We have a responsibility to speak out even when it’s uncomfortable. When voices in our own movement push dangerous and misguided ideas, we can’t look the other way. I won’t hesitate to call out those who peddle destructive, vile rhetoric and threaten our principles and our future. Silence in the face of recklessness is not an option.”

              The Texas senator has been explicit about his concern over what he calls a “growing cancer” of anti-Semitism on the Right — an issue he argues is being fueled in part by isolationist arguments gaining traction among younger conservatives. In a speech last month, Cruz warned: “This poison of anti-Semitism on the right, it is spreading with young people. It is gaining traction. But I will tell you, there is a movement among Christians, particularly young Christians. The public polling numbers of support for Israel among young Christians is plummeting. And they’re being spread lies. They’re being spread lies, isolationist lies that we should withdraw from the world because nobody wants to hurt us. But they’re also being spread theological lies.”

              Vance, for his part, has criticized extremist figures like Nick Fuentes but has said nothing publicly about Carlson, who reportedly advocated for Vance during the 2024 vice-presidential selection process. And at a Turning Point USA event last month, Vance appeared to entertain the underlying assumptions of a student’s comments suggesting that Jews support the “prosecution” of Christianity while asking a question about America’s relationship with Israel.

              As both Cruz and Vance work to define themselves in a post-Trump Republican Party — one where debates over foreign policy, Israel, and America’s engagement with the world are increasingly central — the early contours of the 2028 primary are already taking shape.

              Special Prosecutor Assigned To Trump 2020 Election Case

              A new twist has emerged in the Fulton County election interference case against President Donald Trump. On Friday, a special prosecutor was appointed to replace embattled District Attorney Fani Willis (D), who was disqualified after a court found her romantic relationship with a top prosecutor created an appearance of impropriety.

              Peter Skandalakis, executive director of Georgia’s Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council (PAC), announced that after failing to find another willing candidate, he would step in personally to oversee the case.

              “Several prosecutors were contacted and, while all were respectful and professional, each declined the appointment,” Skandalakis said in a statement. “Out of respect for their privacy and professional discretion, I will not identify those prosecutors or disclose their reasons for declining.”

              The move came just as a judge-imposed deadline loomed for PAC to name a new prosecutor—or risk seeing the entire case dismissed.

              Skandalakis explained that while “it would have been simple” to let the deadline expire, he believed “that was not the right course of action,” citing the public’s interest in ensuring the matter is resolved properly.

              The Georgia court’s decision to remove Willis cast major doubt on the future of the case, which accuses Trump and several allies of racketeering and other charges related to challenging the 2020 election results. Trump and most of his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty, maintaining that they did nothing wrong in questioning the outcome of the election. Four others accepted plea deals.

              With Willis out, Skandalakis now has full discretion over whether to continue pursuing the case or to drop the charges entirely.

              “My only objective is to ensure that this case is handled properly, fairly, and with full transparency—discharging my duties without fear, favor, or affection,” he said.

              This isn’t the first time Skandalakis has been involved in a high-profile matter stemming from Willis’s conduct. After she was previously barred from investigating Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones (R) due to her involvement in a political fundraiser against him, Skandalakis also took over—and ultimately declined to bring charges.

              Citing that past experience, he said his familiarity with similar issues makes him the best candidate to take over the Trump case.

              The original indictment accused Trump and more than a dozen associates of an “unlawful conspiracy” to challenge President Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia. The case is one of several politically charged prosecutions targeting Trump during his campaign to return to the White House—the first criminal cases ever brought against a then-former U.S. president.

              Trump was previously convicted in New York on business record charges tied to a 2016 hush money payment. Meanwhile, his two federal prosecutions—for alleged election interference and mishandling classified documents—were dismissed following his reelection to a second term.

              PAC officials had confirmed as late as Thursday that no replacement had been found, suggesting the decision came together quickly.

              On Monday, Skandalakis addressed Trump’s recent presidential pardons for several allies charged in the Georgia case, saying his office had “diligently” worked on the matter since Willis’s removal and would continue to do so “without being influenced by matters outside the scope of our assigned task.”

              He also clarified that Trump’s pardons apply only to federal charges, not state cases.

              “Therefore, the task before my office remains unchanged,” Skandalakis said.

              Tucker Carlson Says He Was Attacked By A Demon, Sparking Debate Over His Fitness For Leadership

              Leaving him with bleeding claw marks and…

              Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson says he was the victim of what he describes as a “demonic attack,” an incident he claims left him with bleeding claw marks and struggling to breathe. The account, shared publicly for the first time during a Megyn Kelly Live Tour event in New York, has prompted concerns about his mental health and overall fitness for leadership.

              Carlson’s Account

              Carlson said the episode occurred about 18 months ago, around 2:30 a.m., while he and his wife were asleep with their four hunting dogs. He said he woke up unable to breathe and felt as though he was “graying out.” Moments later, he experienced sharp pain under his arms and along his ribs, “as if ripped with a knife.”

              When he turned on the light, Carlson said, he saw bleeding claw marks on both sides of his chest. His wife awoke and, according to Carlson, immediately concluded that “something attacked you.” None of the dogs stirred during the incident, a detail he said made it even more unsettling.

              Aftermath and Reflection

              Carlson described feeling an overwhelming urge to read the Bible before falling asleep for a few minutes and waking to believe it had been a dream — until he discovered blood on the bedsheets and noticed the same marks again.

              He told Kelly that an assistant later suggested the incident was a form of “spiritual warfare,” echoing his wife’s interpretation. Carlson said he does not expect skeptics to believe him but remains convinced that “something real” took place.

              “I can’t explain it, but it was not a dream,” he told Megyn Kelly. “It was something that happened in the physical world.”

              Reaction and Ridicule

              Critics, including Project 2025 contributor and The Origins of Woke author Richard Hanania, questioned Carlson’s mental state and credibility. “This is not the kind of thing a stable person says publicly,” Hanania wrote on X.

              Observers suggested the incident described by Carlson is consistent with a “nocturnal panic attack,” a phenomenon that occurs during deep sleep and can cause sudden awakenings marked by intense fear and physical distress. Unlike nightmares, these episodes are not typically tied to a specific dream or outside stimulus.

              Medical experts note that while panic attacks do not usually cause self-harm, people may inadvertently injure themselves if they move violently or attempt to “escape” a perceived threat while half-awake and disoriented.

              Other scientific explanations for self-inflicted marks during sleep include severe anxiety, night terrors, and REM behavior disorder — in which people act out dreams — and coexisting mental health conditions such as obsessive-compulsive or trauma-related disorders.

              Other conservative critics were equally bemused, relying on the principle of Ockham’s Razor — the idea that the simplest explanation is usually correct.

              Supporters, many of them evangelical Christians, framed Carlson’s experience as evidence of the spiritual conflict they believe lies at the heart of America’s cultural and political divide. They praised his willingness to speak openly about faith, calling it a sign of moral courage.

              Implications for Carlson’s Role

              Even after the controversy surrounding his friendly interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, Carlson remains one of the most influential figures in digital media, commanding a broad following across multiple platforms. However, critics argue that promoting claims of a demonic attack risks alienating mainstream voters and undermining the credibility of both the conservative movement and conservative journalism.

              Carlson also claimed in an interview during the final day before the 2024 election that demonic forces created nuclear technology, linking the dropping of the atomic bomb that forced Japan’s unconditional surrender to the rise of secularism.

              Carlson did not address how the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — combined with Russia’s declaration of war and invasion of Manchuria — eliminated the need for a costly invasion of Japan’s home islands (Operations Olympic and Coronet) or a prolonged blockade, actions that historians widely agree would have caused millions of additional deaths.

              He also did not mention that in the early 1900s, church membership and attendance were relatively modest. In 1890, the census found that 33% of Americans identified as belonging to a church.

              After World War II, however, the United States experienced a remarkable religious revival. Church membership grew from ~43% attended church before the war to “more than 55%” by 1950, rising to 69% by the end of the 1950s. Gallup polls from the era show about 45% of adults reported attending church or synagogue weekly, a sharp increase from earlier decades.

              The revival spanned denominations: Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish congregations all saw dramatic growth. Many Americans tied this renewed faith to national identity — a Cold War-era contrast with “godless communism.”

              Despite the backlash, Tucker Carlson’s fans aren’t backing down. They say his openness about faith isn’t weakness — it’s courage.

              To them, his honesty reflects humility and conviction — the very traits America needs in an age that has grown increasingly secular in recent decades.

              What’s Next

              Carlson has not provided photos or medical documentation of the alleged injuries, and there is no verifiable evidence to support his account.

              Whether the story ultimately strengthens or weakens his influence may depend less on the broader electorate than on how conservative audiences interpret it — as a test of faith or a question of credibility.

              Republicans Uncover Epstein’s Coordination With Reporters To Smear Trump

              Just hours after the White House publicly accused congressional Democrats of selectively leaking emails related to Jeffrey Epstein on Wednesday, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released tens of thousands of additional pages of documents. These include email exchanges between Epstein and prominent journalists.

              A significant portion of the new material shows correspondence between Epstein and writer-turned-biographer Michael Wolff. Wolff reached out to Epstein multiple times, discussing not only Epstein’s public image but how to leverage criticism of Donald Trump for strategic benefit.

              In February 2016, Wolff wrote to Epstein:

              “NYT called me about you and Trump,”
              “Also, Hillary campaign digging deeply. Again, you should consider preempting.”

              A month later they discussed plans ahead of the release of Filthy Rich — a true-crime book by James Patterson about Epstein, who was Patterson’s neighbor in Palm Beach. Wolff suggested to Epstein:

              “Becoming an anti-Trump voice gives you a certain political cover which you decidedly don’t have now.”
              And he added:
              “Patterson can be counted on to produce a bestseller, and while he isn’t regarded as a serious writer, he’ll surely be unloading a lot of tabloid copy … Because this will be tied to the election, the Trump-Clinton angle will amp up the attention 10-fold, in fact, possibly, a hundred fold. Possibly more than anything you’ve encountered before.”

              When Epstein asked Wolff what he should say publicly about his relationship with Trump, Wolff’s advice was pointed:

              “If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, then that gives you a valuable PR and political currency,”
              “You can hang him in a way that potentially generates a positive benefit for you, or, if it really looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt. Of course, it is possible that, when asked, he’ll say Jeffrey is a great guy and has gotten a raw deal and is a victim of political correctness, which is to be outlawed in a Trump regime.”

              In further correspondence, Wolff requested introductions for Epstein to two figures close to Trump: business leader and inaugural-committee chair Tom Barrack and former federal prosecutor Kathy Ruemmler. He told Epstein he sought “an off-the-record perspective on White House procedures,” while researching his book about Trump’s first 100 days in office. He also asked whether former President Bill Clinton would confirm he had never been to Epstein’s private U.S. Virgin Islands island, Little St. John — a place Clinton has publicly denied visiting. Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell has also denied seeing Clinton there.

              The documents show that Epstein and Wolff planned to meet as recently as May 2019 — months before Epstein died in a federal jail cell while awaiting trial.

              Read some of the emails below:

              Some of the newly released material included a short video of a dog and what appear to be chew toys modeled after Trump and the 2016 presidential rival Hillary Clinton. Others appear to be slides from an adviser working to generate positive search-engine results for Epstein following his 2008 conviction for child-sex crimes.

              Earlier, Democrats had released documents that included an especially cryptic email from Epstein to Maxwell — one that mentions Trump by name, and refers to an unnamed victim of Epstein’s trafficking network. The email read:

              “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” Epstein wrote on April 2, 2011.
              “[VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him…he has never once been mentioned. Police chief. etc. I’m 75% there.”

              Officials later identified the “unnamed victim” as well-known Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year. Giuffre repeatedly stated that Trump was not involved in wrongdoing and “couldn’t have been friendlier” to her in their limited interactions. The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded:

              “The fact remains that President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Giuffre.”

              In his own post on Truth Social, Trump weighed in:

              “The Democrats cost our Country $1.5 Trillion Dollars with their recent antics of viciously closing our Country, while at the same time putting many at risk — and they should pay a fair price,” he wrote.
              “There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else, and any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!”

              As a reminder: Epstein secured a highly-controversial so-called “sweetheart” deal in 2008 for child-sex crimes. He was arrested again in 2019 on more serious trafficking charges — but died before the case went to trial. Maxwell was convicted of grooming and procuring girls and young women for Epstein; she is appealing and continues to assert her innocence.

              Key Takeaways for a Republican Audience

              • The timing of the document releases and allegations of selective leaking by Democrats raises questions about political motive and media stratagem.
              • The correspondence shows efforts to frame Epstein’s narrative around Trump — part of a broader attempt to tie the story to the 2016 presidential election and cast Trump in a negative light.
              • Trump’s defenders argue the documents reinforce his long-standing disassociation from Epstein, as well as serve to remind voters of Democrats’ role in political maneuvering, rather than holding criminals accountable.
              • For Republicans focused on institutional integrity and media accountability, the episode reinforces concerns about selective exposure of documents, agenda-driven leaks, and manipulation of public perception.
