Marjorie Taylor Greene has suddenly decided to leave Congress – just days after being called a “traitor” by the president she supported relentlessly for the past several years. Including the years after the election that was engineered to replace him.
She perhaps thought it might do some good to see him re-elected.
She has changed her mind – along with probably half (maybe more) of the people who voted for Trump and got something else. Well, who let themselves believe they were going to get something else. Who put out of their minds his atrocious enabling of the pushing of drugs on Americans – which he continues to insist “saved millions of lives.”
People didn’t vote for Trump personally. They voted for an America First national policy, which is what Trump promised but has repudiated – for the sake of Greater Israel. Did you know that Trump has appointed a Zionist rabbi – Yehuda Kaploun – to be America’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism?
Americans who voted for Trump wanted an end to the wars that are egged on by the Deep State and financed by Americans’ tax dollars. The war in Ukraine continues – largely because Trump has kept the IV of military aid flowing. The atrocity – mass murder, literally – in Gaza continues, approved by Trump – who could act to end it but doesn’t because doing that might offend Miriam Adelson and The Lobby. Trump may himself be more than just the usual cynical poll who takes dirty money in return for dirty deeds. He may actually believe in the rightness of what he’s doing for the sake of Greater Israel. In which case he is even more dangerous than the usual corrupt pol whose favors are available to the highest bidder.
I think I know why Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned. She is leaving Congress partially because she is disgusted by Trump and the clear futility of Voting Harder. Trump won a resounding victory just one year ago; he entered office with both houses at least nominally under the control of his party – but far more importantly, with the kinetic energy of a mandate from the electorate.
Does anyone remember the energy of the first few weeks? When Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency publicly began to gut USAID and threatened that was just the beginning?
Whatever happened to DOGE?
Whatever happened to Trump’s entire agenda? It has been replaced with a new one: Delusional Tweets about how inflation is under control and he has ended so many wars that how could anyone be upset with him? Obamacare has been made even worse than it was. Federal goons are snatching people off the street and throwing them into unmarked minivans and some of the less addled among us see this as normalizing the kind of “action” that one used to have to go to Paraguay under Stroessner or Argentina under Peron to see. Instead of more freedom we’re getting more surveillance and REAL ID. Also the largest tax increase in decades, which Trump styles tariffs – as if that makes them cost Americans less. He offers to counterbalance these taxes by sending out $2,000 checks sometime next year – by which time $2,000 will probably have the buying power of what $1,000 has right now.
Maybe less.
MJT senses the poo hitting the fan and has wisely – and nobly – elected to get out of the way. Can anyone recall the last time an elected politician resigned on account of principle? MJT seems to have decided not to become part of the problem by pretending it can be fixed by Voting Harder Next Time. She has had a moment of clarity. She realizes it cannot be fixed so why bother. Exactly so.
You cannot polish a turd.
The turd must be flushed. This includes Trump, who has proved to be just that. It does not matter whether he is in the “files” because even if he is not, few will ever believe he wasn’t. Nothing he does now will change that. He is ruined, politically. It happened at Warp Speed, too.
And things are speeding up.
MJT wants more than just out. She wants out of the way. By leaving Congress now – and for the reasons she has stated – she will avoid the guilt by association that is going to be hung around the neck of everyone who continues to pretend all is well and that Trump isn’t going to destroy the nationalist-populist movement.
There is a historic remembrance worth remembering at this moment. Do you remember Carl Gustav Mannerheim? He was the leader of the Finns during World War II. Under his leadership, the Finns managed to hold back the Red Tide – Stalin’s armies – when they tried to invade Finland. Mannerheim allied himself with Germany but did not link Finland’s fate with Hitler’s. When it was clear to anyone not in the grip of sieg heiling delusion that Germany was going to lose the war – and lose everything – because of Hitler’s refusal to deal with reality, Mannerheim eased Finland out of harm’s way.
America can be Great Again.
But it will take Americans doing what they must to make it great again. MJT has just done something like that.
No compromise with evil. No more pretending it ain’t. That’s how you win.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
