MTG Alleges Trump Fueled Death Threats After Public Fallout Over Epstein Files

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Trump ally and outgoing Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene alleged in a “60 Minutes” interview that several threats against her family began shortly after President Donald Trump publicly branded her a “traitor.”

The Georgia lawmaker, who will leave Congress in January 2026, told CBS’s Lesley Stahl that the situation escalated after Trump withdrew his support for her reelection bid. Greene announced her upcoming resignation on Nov. 21, one week after Trump publicly cut ties with her politically.

According to Greene, a pipe bomb threat was made against her home, followed by what she described as “direct death threats” aimed at one of her adult sons. “After President Trump called me a traitor, I got a pipe bomb threat on my house. And then I got several direct death threats on my son,” she said. She did not previously mention threats to her son in public statements, including a Nov. 15 social media post referencing a “hot bed of threats” but offering no specifics.

Greene told Stahl that the threatening messages included the label “Marjorie Traitor Greene,” the same nickname Trump used on Nov. 16 when asked by a reporter about her earlier criticisms. At the time, Trump dismissed concerns about her safety, saying, “I don’t think her life is in danger. Frankly, I don’t think anybody cares about her.”

During the interview, Greene argued that the threats were “directly fueled” by the president’s rhetoric. She said she alerted both Trump and Vice President JD Vance, sharing the threats with them directly. Vance, she said, responded that he would “look into it.” She added that Trump also replied, but described his message only as “extremely unkind.”

The congresswoman also claimed other Republican lawmakers have taken note of her break with the president. Asked whether members of her party speak differently about Trump in private, Greene said their private remarks would “shock people.” She described colleagues who once mocked Trump but shifted to supporting him publicly after he secured the 2024 GOP nomination.

Greene further said that part of her falling-out with Trump stemmed from her push to release documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. She signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the “Epstein Files Transparency Act,” which ultimately passed with overwhelming bipartisan support and was signed by Trump on Nov. 19. Greene said Trump had opposed her efforts at first, arguing that releasing the documents would “hurt people,” though she said he did not specify whom he meant.

Stahl asked whether Republican lawmakers fear backlash from Trump’s supporters or from the president himself. Greene responded that many are reluctant to speak out because they fear public attacks from Trump, saying, “I think they’re terrified to step outta line and get a nasty Truth Social post on them.”

Greene’s resignation will take effect at the start of 2026, leaving her safely Republican district without its most controversial representative for the first time in six years.

Trump Explodes After Pardoned Texas Rep. Cuellar Launches Reelection Bid As Dem

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump ripped into Democratic Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar on Sunday after the lawmaker said he will seek reelection as part of the Democratic Party despite Trump pardoning him and his wife, Imelda.

Cuellar said Wednesday he will seek reelection as a Democrat, confirming the decision just hours after Trump pardoned him and his wife. In a Sunday post on Truth Social, Trump said Democrats during the Biden administration spent years trying to destroy Cuellar and his family through what he described as aggressive and politically motivated prosecutions.

“Can you imagine??? The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years, which I predicted these Radical Left Lunatics would do,” Trump wrote. “And they never stopped wanting to fulfill this evil quest! The Dems mercilessly went after Henry with everything they had!”

Trump said Democrats viciously targeted Cuellar and his family long after losing the 2024 election.

“They were looking to destroy him, his lovely wife, his two young daughters, and anyone close to them. When the Democrats overwhelmingly lost the 2024 Presidential Election, and power with it, they, regardless, did everything they could to keep going after the Cuellar family. The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY! He was against illegals pouring into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted.” (Read more from “Trump Explodes After Pardoned Texas Rep. Cuellar Launches Reelection Bid As Dem” HERE)

Trump Admin Dramatically Scales Back Work Permits For Asylum Seekers

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is dramatically scaling back the timeframe in which asylum seekers and other foreign nationals can have valid work permits in the U.S.

Work permits issued to foreign nationals who’ve applied for asylum or other humanitarian programs will only be valid for 18 months rather than five years, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Thursday. The decision marks the latest action by the agency tasked with managing the country’s immigration system, since two National Guard members were ambushed by an Afghan man shortly before Thanksgiving.

“Reducing the maximum validity period for employment authorization will ensure that those seeking to work in the United States do not threaten public safety or promote harmful anti-American ideologies,” USCIS Director Joe Edlow said in a public statement.

“After the attack on National Guard service members in our nation’s capital by an alien who was admitted into this country by the previous administration, it’s even more clear that USCIS must conduct frequent vetting of aliens,” Edlow continued.

The maximum validity period for initial and renewed Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) will be scaled back for foreigners admitted as refugees, granted asylum and granted a withholding of removal order, according to USCIS. The timeframe will additionally change for aliens with pending applications for asylum, withholding of removal, adjustment of status and suspension of deportation, among other categories.

Trump Suggests Rep. Ilhan Omar Be Thrown ‘Out Of’ U.S. Over Claims She Married Her Brother

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump suggested that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) should be removed from the United States, referencing allegations that she “supposedly” entered the country by marrying her brother.

“Somalia, where you have a Congressman goes around telling everybody about our Constitution, yet she supposedly came into our country by marrying her brother,” Trump said while speaking to reporters on Air Force One. “Well, if that’s true, she shouldn’t be a Congressman, and we should throw her the hell out of our country.”

While talking to reporters, Trump also stated that the U.S. doesn’t need people coming into the country, “telling us what to do.”

Trump’s comments come as Omar and other Democrats have defended Minnesota’s Somali community, despite reports that there is evidence of “widespread fraud of taxpayers’ healthcare programs” taking place. Trump has previously announced that he would be terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty for Somalians, over reports that billions of dollars are missing.

Trump Declares Venezuelan Airspace “Closed in Its Entirety,” Prepares for Land Strikes

/4 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump has escalated U.S. pressure on Venezuela, declaring Saturday that all airspace over and surrounding the country should be “considered closed in its entirety.” The announcement, made in a post on Truth Social, warned airlines, pilots, and criminal traffickers to avoid the region.

“To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY,” Trump wrote.

U.S. carriers have not flown to or from Venezuela since 2019, when commercial flights were suspended amid safety and political concerns. However, some international and transit flights continued to cross high-altitude routes over Venezuelan airspace.

The new directive comes alongside recent guidance from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which on Nov. 21 issued a notice urging airlines to avoid flying over Venezuela because of increased military activity and security risks in the region.

Trump’s airspace closure is part of a broader escalation: in remarks just days earlier, he said that land strikes on Venezuela would begin “very soon.” The administration frames the move as an effort “to deter Venezuelan drug traffickers.”

Since early September, the U.S. has carried out a series of naval strikes on vessels alleged to be involved in narcotics smuggling in Caribbean waters; U.S. officials claim the strikes have killed dozens of suspected traffickers.

The government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro swiftly condemned Trump’s announcement, calling it “a colonialist threat” and a “hostile, unilateral, and arbitrary act” that violates international law and Venezuelan sovereignty.

Venezuela also cited the closure to suspend deportation and migrant-return flights previously coordinated with the U.S. government.

With U.S. military presence mounting in nearby Caribbean waters, and the administration signaling possible land operations, tensions between Washington and Caracas remain extremely high. Analysts warn that further steps — including possible air or ground strikes — may dramatically escalate the conflict.

‘Get Off YOUR Ass’: MTG, Mike Cernovich Get Heated Over Her Resignation From Congress

/1 Comment/in , /by

Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene got into a heated exchange with conservative commentator Mike Cernovich on X this past week following Greene’s resignation announcement.

The exchange began when Greene posted about the percentage of American-based accounts on X. “Many accounts are paid and many are foreign and they post and comment all day with targeted talking points in order to sway your opinion…Real life is tangible, involves relationships with people, productive work, and all the fun amazing adventures the beautiful world has to offer.” Cernovich responded to the post by saying “You need to serve out your full term.”

Greene responded the following morning, saying “[s]hit posting on the internet all day isn’t fighting. Get off YOUR ass and run for Congress.” Her response was viewed by over six million people. The heated exchange continued with Cernovich reiterating his opinion that Greene must serve her full term, and Greene pushing back.

Trump Stands by Calling Tim Walz ‘Retarded’: ‘There’s Something Wrong with Him’

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump on Sunday stood by his comments Thursday in which he called Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the 2024 Democrat vice presidential nominee, “retarded.”

Aboard Air Force One, en route from Palm Beach to Washington, DC, a reporter asked Trump if he stood by slamming Walz as “retarded” in a Thanksgiving Truth Social post.

“Yeah, I think there’s something wrong with him,” Trump said. “Do you have a problem with it?”

“I think there’s something wrong with him … Anybody that would allow those people into a state and pay billions of dollars out to Somalia. We gave billions of dollars to Somalia — it’s not even a country because it doesn’t function like a country. It’s got a name, but it doesn’t function like a country. Yeah, there’s something wrong with Walz,” he added.

Trump said in his post on Thanksgiving that the country’s “refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II,” before he bashed Walz.

Trump Gives Maduro Ultimatum: Resign and Leave Venezuela or Face U.S. Action, Report Says

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump reportedly delivered a stark ultimatum to Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro during a tense phone call, warning the longtime socialist ruler to resign and leave the country or face consequences, according to a report from the Miami Herald.

Sources cited in the reporting say Maduro demanded key conditions in exchange for stepping aside — including global amnesty for crimes he is accused of and the ability to retain control of Venezuela’s military while allowing free elections. The United States rejected both proposals immediately.

Instead, Trump is said to have offered a narrow path: Maduro, along with his wife and son, would be permitted safe passage out of Venezuela — but would need to depart immediately. Amnesty would also be extended to top Maduro allies, the report states.

The failed phone call reportedly took place late in the week of Nov. 16, just days after Trump publicly signaled he was open to speaking directly with Maduro. The discussion included what a formal surrender might look like, given that the U.S. State Department has a $50 million bounty on the Venezuelan leader.

After the call broke down, Trump intensified military and diplomatic pressure on Caracas. The president declared Venezuelan airspace “closed in its entirety” and warned that U.S. operations inside the country could begin “very soon.”

The directive came as the USS Gerald R. Ford — America’s largest aircraft carrier — and a Marine Expeditionary Unit remained positioned offshore, capable of amphibious deployment.

Trump later acknowledged the conversation to reporters, saying only: “I wouldn’t say it went well or badly.”

U.S. leaders have tied the escalation to Venezuelan drug-trafficking networks, which Trump has increasingly blamed on Maduro’s government.

As pressure mounts and diplomatic options narrow, concerns rise over a possible U.S. military intervention in the country of 28 million.

Trump has repeatedly hinted that additional action — including strikes “by land” — may be imminent.

Country’s President Declares Security Emergency Amid Slaughter Of Christians

/0 Comments/in , /by

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu declared a nationwide security emergency Wednesday after President Donald Trump put pressure on Tinubu due to the mass kidnappings and murders of Christians in the region.

The declaration also included an order for the country’s armed forces to increase recruitment numbers, and it called on police to recruit 20,000 more officers, making the total 50,000.

“My fellow Nigerians, this is a national emergency, and we are responding by deploying more boots on the ground, especially in security-challenged areas,” the order said. “The times require all hands on deck. As Nigerians, we should all get involved in securing our nation.”

This will be accomplished by utilizing the National Youth Service Corps as training depots, and the order directs officers away from VIP guard duties so they can focus on “security-challenged areas.” Nigeria’s government is also deploying trained forest guard members to “flush out the terrorists and bandits lurking in our forests.”

“There will be no more hiding places for agents of evil,” the declaration continued. (Read more from “Country’s President Declares Security Emergency Amid Slaughter Of Christians” HERE)

Trump Rages Over ‘Seriously Retarded Governor’ Tim Walz in Furious Thanksgiving Message

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Trump ripped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” — and suggested Rep. Ilhan Omar “probably came into the USA illegally” — in a rage-filled Thanksgiving message about immigration.

Trump, 79, hurled the insult as he accused Walz, who had been Kamala Harris’ running mate in her failed presidential election bid, of allowing an influx of hundreds of thousands of Somali migrants to take over his “once great state.”

“Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for ‘prey’ as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone,” he wrote in the blistering late-night Truth Social post.

“The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both.”

Trump also zeroed in on Minnesota progressive Omar, describing her as the “worst ‘Congressman/woman’ in our country” who is “always wrapped in her swaddling hijab.” (Read more from “Trump Rages Over ‘Seriously Retarded Governor’ Tim Walz in Furious Thanksgiving Message” HERE)
