"Nailed it," far-right Ric Grenell joked. The former acting director of the U.S. Department of National Intelligence greeted Nevada at the start of his speech in Mesa, Arizona on Sunday.

In an interview at the Republican rally in Arizona Sunday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) gives a kind of eulogy to the First Amendment of the Constitution.

"Part of my message today in my speech is I'm going to be talking about how the First Amendment is dead," Green said as the public assembled for the political rally. "They've destroyed free speech, the left has. They've canceled our voices. They cancel our businesses, whether you're a baker trying to bake cakes in Colorado."

Pillow vendor Mike Lindell claimed that he sent a number of subpoenas to people, which includes retired Lt. Gen. James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence under Barack Obama's administration and Former director of the CIA John Brennan.

The problem with the claim is that an individual citizen can't randomly send subpoenas without filing lawsuits and having those subpoenas approved by the court. He has claimed that he's launching a lawsuit against the FBI after they seized his cell phone as part of the Justice Department probe around fake electors.

An Alabama police officer who shot and killed his neighbor is being saved from litigation after claiming that the 34-year-old cancer patient was behaving erratically after having brain surgery, said AL.com.

“The Court recognizes that Spivey’s erratic, aggressive, non-compliant behavior may have been due to his medical condition,” U.S. District Judge Emily C.

Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) is reportedly going to resign. Sasse has become a frequent target of the Trump-wing of the Republican Party claiming that he's nothing more than a "RINO" (Republican in Name Only) and that he isn't loyal enough to former President Donald Trump.

In a video just released by the White House, President Joe Biden says, "First: I’m pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. There are thousands of people who were previously convicted of simple possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My pardon will remove this burden."

The zombies aren't in the streets and the four horsemen haven't been spotted yet, but many Christians believe that the end is nigh. Any time there are natural disasters like major weather events and outbreaks of disease like COVID-19 or major international events such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it piques speculation about the Biblical end times. But that isn't what's causing an increase in interest of the end of the world, according to a new analysis.

Citing Publishers Weekly, slate noted a number of apocalypse books are coming out to meet the demand. It isn't the first time, however.

The co-hosts of "The View" unleashed on the hypocrisy of Georgia Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker, who is denying the check and get-well-soon card he sent to an ex-girlfriend was for an abortion.

Republican Ana Navarro compared it to the Shaggy song, "It wasn't me," where the wife catches him with another woman in various places around their home and he keeps claiming "it wasn't me."
