Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has pivoted from a bonkers approach to foreign affairs to backward fiscal policy in her continued attempt to achieve relevance despite her attacks on President Donald Trump‘s administration. “We need to completely abolish property taxes,” Greene said in an Aug. 19 X post. “It forces us to pay ‘rent’ to […]
Republicans in Fulton County, Georgia, are embroiled in a political fight with Democrats over representation. The county’s Board of Commissioners refuse to appoint two Republicans to the county election board. According to the RNC, Georgia state law mandates that the Fulton County Board of Commissioners appoint Republican nominees to two seats that are allocated for […]
As Democratic politicians prepare their shadow campaigns for the 2028 presidential nomination, voters face a disturbing prospect: a lack of solutions for America’s out-of-control debt. While eight Democratic governors are considered likely candidates, only Govs. Andy Beshear (D-KY), Gavin Newsom (D-CA), JB Pritzker (D-IL), and Josh Shapiro (D-PA) have raised money outside their home states.

I became a TV critic in 1998, at heart if not in practice. The occasion was the world premiere of Merlin, a two-part NBC miniseries starring Sam Neill and Isabella Rossellini.

Terence Stamp didn’t just walk onto the screen. He smoldered through it, those piercing blue eyes and chiseled cheekbones carving a place in cinema history as indelible as London’s East End, where he was born. The actor, who died on Aug. 17 at 87, was the very pulse of the Swinging Sixties: a working-class kid […]
The excitement generated around the Baltimore band Turnstile since the release of its fourth album, Never Enough, in June is best summarized by the review headline in Metal Hammer magazine declaring it “Hardcore’s answer to Nevermind.” Taken literally, a chorus of “Wait, what?” is only sensible. The popularity Nirvana gained at stupefying speed and unmanageable […]
On Aug. 15, the neo-noir Americana was given a long-deferred wide release after first being exhibited at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film & TV Festival in March 2023 — long before denim garments came to define the star. Yes, before Sydney Sweeney became a purveyor of blue jeans, a figurehead in the latest iteration […]
A veteran Texas Democratic congressman said Thursday he’ll dodge a reelection bid if the state’s new partisan congressional map is enacted. Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) says he will only run for reelection if the new Republican-drawn map is voted down. If not, he’ll pave the way for Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) to win the Democratic […]
