A sitting Republican congresswoman now claims Donald Trump “directly fueled” death threats against her family—after she spent years building her career on his movement. MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE’S BETRAYAL AND THE MEDIA PLOT Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s decision to use the hostile platform of “60 Minutes” to accuse Donald Trump of “directly fueled” death threats against her family is not a confession—it is a devastating act of betrayal of public trust and a calculated maneuver designed to provide the left-wing media with the irrefutable proof they need to destroy the America First movement. By prioritizing a personal feud on prime-time television, Greene has handed the Deep State agenda a massive propaganda victory. This is the ultimate act of institutional subversion. Greene, who built her career on the Trump movement, has chosen to validate the media’s long-standing narrative that strong conservative criticism is equivalent to violence, dangerously blurring the lines between protected political speech and criminal acts. Her narrative conveniently ignores the broader, toxic online environment and the media’s own role in constantly amplifying political conflict. Watch my full interview on 60 Minutes. I’m America First America Only and no one can get in the way of that. pic.twitter.com/MkXAfHvvaU — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) December 8, 2025 ELITE ARROGANCE AND THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF FOCUS Legacy outlets like “60 Minutes” thrive on this intra-party drama, gaining a sympathetic storyline that paints the entire America First movement as reckless and dangerous. This is a deliberate act of regulatory malice, shifting the public’s focus away from critical policy debates—like border chaos, inflation, and executive overreach—and onto Republican personalities warring for the cameras. The media is allowed to present itself as the “responsible adult” while ignoring its own role in fanning partisan flames. Greene’s elite arrogance in taking her dispute to corporate media allies of the left creates a sense of profound betrayal among grassroots conservatives. They see this move less like courage and more like self-preservation at the disastrous cost of the movement’s mission. The catastrophic failure here is the refusal of elected Republicans to stay focused on the core priorities—securing the border, restoring energy dominance, and defending fundamental rights—instead of feeding the media’s appetite for personal grudges. INSTITUTIONAL SUBVERSION: THE DOUBLE STANDARD ON SPEECH The narrative surrounding Greene’s claim exposes the media’s profound double standard. When Democrats face threats (e.g., Justice Brett Kavanaugh), the media frames it as protest gone too far; when a Republican figure criticizes an ally, the media immediately jumps to accusations of “stochastic terrorism.” This dangerous standard is the final shocking plot designed to erode the First Amendment rights of conservatives. The foreseeable catastrophe is that this manufactured drama will be used as a backdoor argument for regulating conservative speech and punishing political opponents for the actions of isolated extremists. The conservative base demands accountability, not performance. Every minute spent on a “60 Minutes” segment is a minute not spent reversing the damage of the last administration.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, FROM DHS ... DHS: YOU’RE GOING HO HO HOME.

Former Democratic Texas Rep. Colin Allred suspended his run to unseat Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn on Monday, citing the need to prevent a contested primary that could hurt the eventual Democratic nominee. Allred, who launched a second Senate run following a failed 2024 bid, said he would run for a newly-drawn Dallas-based congressional district created by […]

News The Boys The Boys Season Five Trailer Teases Its Supernatural Reunion They’re in fear for their lives and I don’t think the long arm of the law is the problem here By Molly Templeton | Published on December 8, 2025 Screenshot: Prime Video Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Prime Video The end is coming for The Boys, Prime Video’s adaptation of the comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson. It feels as if this show has been on forever, but this final season is only its fifth—though of course there’s the Gen V spinoff, the upcoming Vought Rising spinoff, the animated The Boys Presents: Diabolical anthology series, and a yet-to-come series set in Mexico. But first, Butcher (Karl Urban) and company need to save the world. That is the primary focus of this trailer—saving the world, what it costs, how it’s worth it even if everybody dies—and to that end, said trailer involves a lot of shots of individual characters looking angry and/or worried. The synopsis says: In the fifth and final season, it’s Homelander’s world, completely subject to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a “Freedom Camp.” Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It’s the climax, people. Big stuff’s gonna happen. But the secondary focus—or the primary focus, depending on your feeling about a certain long-running CW series—is that this season includes a Supernatural reunion. Jensen Ackles has been on The Boys for a while now, playing Soldier Boy (who will be central in Vought Rising). But now here comes Jared Padalecki to join him! Padalecki, whose character is still a mystery, appears to walk into a room where Soldier Boy looks mighty confused by his arrival. (This could be tricky editing; it’s not entirely clear if Padalecki’s arrival is what Ackles’ expression is about.) In Soldier Boy’s defense, Padalecki kind of looks like a serial killer who stole Michael Sheen’s wig from the Underworld movies. To underscore this momentous occasion, the trailer is set to a vamped-up version of Styx’s “Renegade,” a song which memorably appeared in a second-season episode of Supernatural. The Boys is created by Eric Kripke, and along with everyone mentioned above, it also stars Antony Starr, Jack Quaid, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Giancarlo Esposito, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Cameron Crovetti, Susan Heyward, and Valorie Curry. The final season begins April 18, 2026.[end-mark] The post <i>The Boys</i> Season Five Trailer Teases Its <i>Supernatural</i> Reunion appeared first on Reactor.

Column SFF Bestiary Marine Life Weirder Than Space Aliens Colonial animals like the Portuguese Man o’ War push the boundaries on life as we know it… By Judith Tarr | Published on December 8, 2025 Photo by Sebastian Schuster [via Unsplash] Comment 0 Share New Share Photo by Sebastian Schuster [via Unsplash] I have learned so much while researching and writing this chapter of the SFF Bestiary. I’m endlessly intrigued by the sheer range and variety of creatures that live in the ocean. Some, like cetaceans, are alien but still relatable to our mammalian brains. Others are as weird and truly other as anything we can imagine on another planet. When I started researching this topic, I was surprised to discover that the Portuguese man o’ war is not a jellyfish. It looks like one, with its shimmering, clear-plastic-like inflatable bladder and its trailing tentacles, not to mention its notorious stingers, but it’s something else. It’s a siphonophore. Jellyfish and siphonophores are related. They’re both classified as Cnidarians. They share a gelatinous body, stinging tentacles, and no blood or brain. But structurally they’re very different. A jellyfish has a bell or hood, tentacles, arms, and a mouth. Sometimes it has eyes or eye-like structures. It’s an animal in the way we are, a collection of specialized organs that add up to a single creature. A siphonophore is what’s known as a colonial animal, a community of tiny creatures called zooids. Every member of the colony has a specific and separate function. Some feed, some swim, some reproduce. They’re joined together along a central stem, through which they share energy and nutrition. Individual zooids can’t survive apart from the colony, but if some are separated, the rest of the colony can survive and generate new zooids. All the zooids in a siphonophore are clones of a single fertilized egg. The egg develops into a polyp, which buds off copies of itself, specialized according to its location in the colony. The ones that eat can’t swim, the ones that swim can’t eat, and so on. Siphonophores of the same species grow their zooids in the same order, but different species have different arrangements. Many have swimming zooids called nectophores that propel them through the water. Some species, including the man o’ war, have a gas-filled bladder or pneumatophore at or near the front. Some have pneumatophores but not nectophores. They all have feeding polyps with long tentacles that capture and usually sting prey and then consume it, and reproductive zooids that can be either all male or all female or both. A man o’ war’s balloon or float is fairly small, around six inches (15cm) high, but the stinging tentacles can extend as far as 100 feet (30 meters). Hundreds of man o’ wars can congregate in a single area, just like a jellyfish bloom, with similar effects on swimmers and beachgoers. What you see on the beach or above the water is a tiny fraction of the whole animal. The man o’ war is far from the largest or longest of its kind, and it’s one of the few that lives on or near the surface of the ocean. Most siphonophores live in the twilight zone, down 2000 feet (700 meters) and more. That’s where the giants are. The giant siphonophore, the praya dubia (doesn’t that sound like an alien species?), is one of the longest creatures in the ocean, longer than the blue whale. Supposedly it can reach 50 meters (160 feet). It’s an apparently endless ribbon, glowing with bioluminescence, transcribing enormous spirals in the darkness of the deep sea. Seeing it and its fellow siphonophores on video, it’s hard to comprehend the scale. What looks like a hollow sea cucumber or a textured wind sock moves into the frame with human divers, and dwarfs them. We’ve seen something like it on Star Trek, in “The Doomsday Machine”. The way it’s constructed, as a colony of individual organisms rather than a single entity, is about as far from our experience as it can be. Its body is toxic to us, and it lives in an environment that cannot support human life. It’s beautiful and weird, and proves yet again that nature is stranger than we humans can imagine. If we find living creatures on other planets, we might encounter a being, or colony of beings, remarkably like this. Or it might even appear in space. The question then might be, is it sentient? Will we communicate with it? Can we? Or will it be as mysterious as our own terrestrial alien?[end-mark] The post Marine Life Weirder Than Space Aliens appeared first on Reactor.

An illegal alien from Honduras is reported to have stabbed a man on a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Suspect Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia is in custody and has been charged with attempted first-degree murder. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has logged an arrest detainer for the man.   The incident marks the second stabbing on Charlotte’s transit systems in five months.   “Another stabbing by an Illegal Migrant in Charlotte, North Carolina,” President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social over the weekend. “What’s going on in Charlotte? Democrats are destroying it, like everything else, piece by piece!!!”  Decarlos Brown Jr. was arrested over the summer and later indicted by a grand jury in the stabbing death of Ukrainian woman Iryna Zarutska. If convicted, Brown could face the death penalty.   Charlotte is a Democrat-run city with Democrats holding the majority of city council positions and controlling the school board. Vi Lyles, a Democrat, currently serves as the mayor of Charlotte. The city has not had a Republican mayor in over 15 years.  “Everyone deserves to be and feel safe in our city, and there is no room for violence in our community,” Lyles wrote on X after the Friday stabbing incident. “There are several aspects of public safety that are outside of the city’s jurisdiction, including immigration policy and enforcement, but we will continue to focus on public safety and ensuring a safe and vibrant community,” the mayor added.   The man stabbed in the most recent incident was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. A spokesperson for the Charlotte Area Transit System said the violence does not appear to have been random but the result of an “altercation between two individuals that escalated,” according to the local outlet WBTV 3.   Since Zarutska was stabbed on a Charlotte light rail train in August, the Charlotte Area Transit System has “taken a proactive and robust approach to keep employees and passengers as safe as possible by deploying additional off-duty [Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department] officers, private security personnel, new technology and safety reporting tools,” the train system Interim CEO Brent Cagle said.   Authorities arrested Honduran Solorzano shortly after the stabbing on Friday.   Suspect Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia. (DHS) In 2018, Solorzano was issued a final order of removal from an immigration judge and was removed in March 2018, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Authorities apprehended him crossing the border illegally in 2021 and he was removed but reentered the U.S. at an unknown time.   “This heinous stabbing by this twice removed illegal alien should have NEVER happened,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said. “ICE lodged an arrest detainer to ensure Oscar Gerardo Solorzano-Garcia is not released back into North Carolina neighborhoods. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the county will honor the detainer since they have a history of not cooperating with ICE,” she said.  Charlotte is not a “sanctuary city,” but Sheriff Garry McFadden has a reputation of not willingly cooperating with ICE. Despite opposition from local leaders, immigration officials are carrying out enforcement efforts in the community.   In November, DHS launched Operation Charlotte’s Web in North Carolina to “target the criminal illegal aliens who flocked to the Tar Heel State because they knew sanctuary politicians would protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets,” according to DHS.   “Under President Trump, ICE is being unleashed to ensure public safety for all Americans,” Noem said. “Make no mistake: We will not rest until every depraved criminal illegal alien is removed from our communities.”  The post Trump Bashes Charlotte Democrats After Second Stabbing on Train   appeared first on The Daily Signal.
