Marjorie Taylor Greene is beginning to sound more and more like a quitter. Investigative reporter Mike Chernovich told her she should finish her term which many of us agree with. She let people down. She is leaving a day after she receives her pension and benefits, while exposing the House to losing key voting power.

Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro headed to a West Philadelphia hair salon to sign a bill that would prohibit “hair discrimination” in the state. The CROWN Act, which stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” explicitly calls for protections for “natural” hairstyles, including locs, braids, twists, afros, and more. The legislation passed the state Senate with a 44-3 vote. “Real freedom means being respected for who you are — no matter what you look like, where you come from, who you love, or who you pray to,” Shapiro said. “For too long, many Pennsylvanians have faced discrimination simply for hairstyles that reflect their identity and culture — that ends today.” House Speaker Joanna McClinton and U.S. Democratic Rep. La’Tasha D. Mayes have been working to get the CROWN Act implemented since 2019.  Both women said the motivations were personal.  “I never wore braids from law school to being a public defender for seven years in this city, because I always had a perception that it would not be respected,” McClinton said. “They will not look at your hair and say you cannot work here. They will not look at your hair and say you do not belong.”  “Hair discrimination has taken confidence from our children, but that ends today,” Mayes added. “Hair discrimination has taken dignity from workers, but that ends today. It has taken access to economic opportunities, hopes and dreams, but that begins to end today.” The CROWN Act was introduced in the House of Representatives in 2021 and was approved in 2023. It was reintroduced in both the House and Senate last year, but has not passed. Twenty-eight other states have similar legislation on the books. Black hair has been a hot topic of conversation lately, especially during former first lady Michelle Obama’s book tour.  Obama said that black women are “trapped” by societal pressure regarding their looks and feel compelled to keep their hair straight, meaning they can’t participate in everyday activities. “Let me explain something to white people. Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern,” the 61-year-old said earlier this month. “When we straighten it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness.” “That’s why so many of us can’t swim, and we run away from the water. People won’t go to the gym because we’re trying to keep our hair straight for y’all! It’s exhausting, expensive and takes up so much time.” Obama concluded by effusively telling society to “get out of” her hair. “So why do we need an act … an act of law to get white folks out of our hair? Don’t tell me how to wear my hair. Don’t wonder about it. Don’t touch it. Just don’t. It just is.” RELATED: California Becomes The First State To Ban Racial ‘Hair Discrimination’ Against Braids, Cornrows, And Dreadlocks

WASHINGTON—The Federal Bureau of Investigation says it has seen a dramatic 490% increase in “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” arrests during the past fiscal year, The Daily Wire can first report — an almost fivefold increase in the 2025 fiscal year. These arrests are mostly associated with 764, an online network that preys on young children, The Daily Wire has learned. “Members of ‘764’ use known online social media communications platforms as mediums to support the possession, production, and sharing of extreme gore media and child sex abuse material with vulnerable, juvenile populations,” the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland explained in a Nov. 20 release. “These individuals often conduct coordinated extortions of teenagers, blackmailing the victims to comply with the group’s demands.” The total number of state, federal, and foreign arrests that occurred as a direct result of FBI investigations and actions resulted in a 490% increase during fiscal year 2025, the FBI shared. Nihilistic Violent Extremism (NVE) is a law enforcement term describing individuals who are motivated to violence, mainly out of a hatred for society and a desire to see society collapse. An FBI spokesman explained that not every Nihilistic Violent Extremism case they are looking at was specifically related to 764, but many of them are. The bureau views 764 cases as a subset of the Nihilistic Violent Extremism category. “This FBI is fully engaged in dismantling NVE networks and violent groups like 764 – who prey on young children using online platforms like gaming systems or social media,” FBI Director Kash Patel told The Daily Wire. “As we speak, we have over 300 cases nationwide related to 764 alone, with more to come, and have surged NVE-related arrests almost 5-fold from the year prior. We won’t stop until we get the job done.” Deputy Director Dan Bongino also emphasized that saving children was “one of the first issues” that he and Patel “put a premium on addressing” when he joined the FBI. In the past year, they’ve located or recovered 5,400 child victims, a 22.7% increase from the same time last year. “The scourge of 764 networks targeting children online is a deeply important issue in our country that not enough people are aware of,” Bongino said. “We are asking all parents to please be on guard – check in with your kids, report suspicious activity to law enforcement, and consider your options on monitoring your children’s internet usage to limit what these networks can reach. In the meantime, your FBI will be working day and night to crush this violent movement and bring them to justice.” In Baltimore, the FBI worked with partners to arrest an individual who allegedly targeted five victims, including one who was as young as 13. In Arizona, they snagged an individual who had allegedly targeted nine children between the ages of 11 and 15 as an affiliate of 764. Some of the allegations against that individual include distributing “child pornography, cyberstalking, animal crushing, and even conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.” FBI Jacksonville recently caught an individual attempting to coerce children into sexual acts online — a case that was not entirely affiliated with 764, but in the same genre, and in April, the FBI arrested two leaders of the 764 network: 21-year-old Leonidas Varagiannis, who is also known as “War,” and 20-year-old Prasan Nepal, also known as “Trippy.” Both were charged with operating an international child exploitation enterprise (764).

BOSTON — “We were not going to get to Thanksgiving.” That’s the assessment of Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, the man who was in charge of keeping planes in the sky as Democrats kept the government shutdown for the longest period in American history. “Had the shutdown not ended, we were not going to get to Thanksgiving,” Duffy told The Daily Wire from the Secretary’s Cup at Fenway Park in Boston. “Would have been not just mass chaos, I think we would have seen airlines actually ground their fleets.” “It was getting bad fast,” he said. “So what we’ve seen now is our controllers have come back online. We have more normal staffing levels. We’re almost back to staffing levels that we had before the shutdown. So what we’re doing now is analyzing the data to make sure that we have the numbers going in the right direction towards safety.” “And when that happens,” he added, “we’re going to allow the number of flights to go back up again.” The government shutdown, which began on October 1, ended on November 12 when President Donald Trump signed the funding bill passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It was the longest shutdown in American history, and Duffy, as well as other administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance, had warned of significant Thanksgiving travel issues if it had continued. As it is, the FAA predicted on Friday that this Thanksgiving travel season would be the busiest in 15 years, also predicting that Tuesday would be the peak travel day for those flying, with more than 52,000 flights.

Even through a period of record-high traffic, their unwavering commitment keeps the system running safely.” Right now, DailyWire+ annual memberships are fifty percent off during our Black Friday sale.

The FAA said air traffic controllers would use a range of strategies to keep flights operating safely, encouraging passengers to be “patient, be kind and follow crew member instructions.” According to AAA, almost 82 million Americans are projected to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday. That’s an increase of 1.6 million travelers compared to last year, “setting a new overall record.” For his part, Duffy is encouraging those flying for the holidays to dress well to bring “civility” back to air travel. “People dress up like they’re going to bed when they fly,” Duffy shared on Fox News earlier this month. “We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up.” A video released by the Transportation Department shows passengers flying in business suits and dresses, then pans to modern-day passengers in pajamas, sweatpants, and other casual garb. “Things aren’t what they used to be,” Duffy said. “Let’s bring civility and manners back.” WATCH THE FULL VIDEO WITH SEAN DUFFY: I spent a day at Fenway Park with @SecDuffy attending the Secretaries’Cup!
