Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene recently slammed “fake” supporters of the “America First” movement, whom she says have been “slobbering” over the United States engaging in another regime change war in the Middle East.

Greene’s (R-Ga.) social media post highlights a current split in the “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement, as the very essence of the political movement is said to be the rejection of foreign interventionism previously adopted by the neo-conservative perspective, which analysts say heavily influenced former President George W. Bush’s foreign policy.

“Everyone is finding out who the real America First/MAGA and who were fake and just said it [because] it was popular. Unfortunately, the list of fakes is quickly becoming quite long and quickly exposed,” she began.

“Anyone slobbering for the U.S. to become fully involved in the Israel/Iran war is not America First/MAGA. Wishing for the murder of innocent people is disgusting. We are sick and tired of foreign wars. All of them,” Greene continued. “And this one will quickly engulf the Middle East, BRICS, and NATO as countries are required to take a side.”

“Real America First/MAGA wants world peace for all people and doesn’t want our military killed or forever injured physically and mentally. We love our U.S. military and love them helping to secure our borders and our cities for the defense of OUR PEOPLE AND OUR COUNTRY.”

Greene went on to point out the disastrous reverberations the previous wars in the Middle East had on American soldiers returning to the United States, while also pointing out the massive debt crisis currently crippling the nation.

“We have spent TRILLIONS in the Middle East and we are dealing with the aftermath of death, blown apart bodies, never ending suicides, and disabling PTSD. All because they told us propaganda as to why we must sacrifice our own to defend some other country’s borders.”

According to a 2021 study by Brown University’s Cost of War Project, 30,177 active-duty U.S. service members and veterans of the post-9/11 wars have committed suicide as of June 2021, which is significantly more than the 7,057 service members who died in the post-9/11 wars.

“I don’t want to see Israel bombed or Iran bombed or Gaza bombed. I don’t want to see Ukraine bombed or Russia bombed. We do NOT want to be involved or required to pay for ANY OF IT!!! We are $36+ TRILLION in debt and have mountains of our own problems. We have giant planks sticking out of our own eyes while we complain about splinters in other’s eyes.”

“Taking this position is NOT antisemitic. They’re rational, sane, and loving toward all people. Taking this position of peace and prosperity for all is not isolationism, it leads to GREAT trade deals and GREAT economies that help ALL PEOPLE,” Greene added.

Greene’s post follows after Israel issued “preemptive” strikes on Thursday, targeting Iranian military leaders and their nuclear facilities. They justified the attack by arguing that the regime was too dangerously close to developing a nuclear weapon, representing an existential threat to Israel.

“Netanyahu [utilized his] statement overnight, invoking the darkest chapter in Jewish history, to insist that Israel would never allow itself to be vulnerable to a 'nuclear holocaust,'” The Guardian reported.

Iran has also been accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. The Justice Department announced in November 2024 that it had filed charges related to an Iranian plot to kill Trump before the presidential election that year, according to NPR.

Nonetheless, Iran has since responded in retaliation, launching a barrage of ballistic missiles, ultimately overwhelming Israel’s missile defense systems and pounding into multiple areas across Israel. The two nations continue to lob airstrikes at one another, while Israeli leaders have reportedly urged the United States to join the fight against Iran.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has repeatedly called on the two sides to “make a deal.”

“We will have PEACE soon between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place,” Trump wrote in a Sunday Truth Social post. “MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!”

Walmart could become the target of another MAGA-led boycott after a woman who inherited the retail fortune funded a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for a nationwide protest movement against President Trump.

The anti-Trump ad, run by the “No Kings” movement, calls for Americans to “mobilize” on Saturday, which is Flag Day and the president’s birthday, in order to “reject authoritarianism.”

The heiress is Christy Walton, the widow of John T. Walton, who is the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton.

Despite not possessing an active position in Walmart’s operations, she retains an almost 2% stake in the company and has a net worth of $19.3 billion, according to Forbes.

The “No Kings” movement is planning up to 1,500 protests across the country in a move to counter Saturday’s military parade, but Washington, D.C. was not listed for protest sites.

The ad, which was in Sunday’s edition of the Times, doesn’t name Trump but criticizes moves that undermine civil rights and democratic values.

Part of the ad reads, “The honor, dignity, and integrity of our country are not for sale,” and includes a QR code linking to a map of more than 1,800 planned protests across America.

“Great, a left-wing billionaire feels like burning some of her inheritance on a PR stunt,” White House spokesman Kush Desai told the New York Post on Wednesday.

“It’s not going to change the fact that over 77 million Americans voted for mass deportations, border security, and America First trade policies — a mandate that the Trump administration is committed to using every lever of executive power to deliver on.”

After reports of the ad came to light Trump’s MAGA allies began calling for a boycott of Walmart.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) wrote on X: “Walmart heiress Christy Walton is funding full-page color ads in the New York Times for ‘No Kings Day,’ a nationwide counter-protest scheduled for Trump’s birthday, organized by the far-left group Indivisible.”

“Looks like the Walmart dynasty is big mad about China tariffs,” the lawmaker wrote.

Kari Lake, a former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and now a White House special adviser, posted on X: “Do you shop at Walmart?”

On Wednesday, the hashtag @BoycottWalmart picked up momentum across X, with social media users branding Christy Walton a “traitor.”

“Boycott Walmart!” wrote longtime Trump supporter Roger Stone, who added: “The Walmart Heiress subsidizes insurrection. Next up peaceful protest outside all of their stores to encourage people not to shop there. Essentially what left-wing stooges did to Tesla. Let’s go.”

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the heiress said she funded the ad to encourage “people to engage peacefully and civically” on Saturday.

Additionally, the spokesperson said that Christy’s ad does not encourage the violence that has damaged Los Angeles and has spread to other cities after immigration raids were carried out by ICE over the weekend.

“Christy has provided no funding to organizations or individuals involved in the demonstrations in Los Angeles or other cities, nor has she provided any funding to those organizing the upcoming events,” the spokesperson said.

“Her interest is simply in encouraging people to listen to one another, participate in their communities, and productively engage in the issues they care about. She believes while we have the right to protest, we do not have a right to violence. She condemns violence in all forms and her message promotes civic engagement, peaceful dialogue, and the sharing of diverse views and voices.”

Those who helped set up the No Kings protest say the decision to not hold a protest in D.C. is intentional, saying they don’t want to give into a political spectacle. Additionally, the parade is expected to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US Army and Trump’s 79th birthday.

The 47th president has already stated that anyone who plans on protesting the parade will be handled with a “very big force.”

Trump’s Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that the commander-in-chief “supports the right of Americans to peacefully protest” and that “is not the majority of the behavior that we have seen taking place in Los Angeles.”

Leavitt also brushed off reports that Trump sees himself as a king, telling reporters at the White House on Wednesday: “The president views himself as the president of the United States of America. This is a constitutional republic, and we want to see all of our citizens be proud of the country in which they are given the privilege and the blessing to live…”

Christy Walton inherited her fortune after her husband died in a 2005 plane crash.

In a move to separate themselves, Walmart issued a statement to the New York Post.

“The advertisement from Christy Walton [is] in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart,” said spokesperson Joe Pennington, who added that Walton “has no active role in company decisions.”

“We condemn violence, including when it’s directed toward law enforcement and the damaging of property,” Pennington added.

“As a company with associates and customers in the Los Angeles region, we remain focused on their safety and that of impacted communities.”

MAGA Foreign Policy: The Iranian Regime | Victor Davis Hanson

For the first time in decades, the Iranian regime is defenseless. Will President Donald Trump seize on the moment and finally depose the brutal theocracy before it gets “the bomb,” or instead pursue another “maximum pressure” campaign, cutting the ayatollah off from the rest of the world? Victor Davis Hanson lays out these options and what role the MAGA worldview may play in the Trump administration’s decision-making on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “Remember that fable from our youth when the mice got together and they said, ‘The cat is picking us off one by one. We need to put a bell around his neck so we could be warned.’ And everybody said, ‘That's a great idea.’ “The next item of business among the mice assembly was, who will bell the cat? What I'm getting at is the Europeans, I think even the Chinese and Russians, don't want on their border a nuclear Iran. The Americans, the Israelis, everybody knows they should not—that theocratic regime should not get the bomb. But who bells the cat? ... “Maybe the correct stance of the incoming Trump administration is to go back to the maximum-pressure campaign of Mike Pompeo and Donald Trump and have strict sanctions on oil exports, maybe even a blockade, to put the pressure on so the people then throw the theocracy out themselves. “But on the other hand, people are going to argue, 'Wait a minute, there are no Iranian air defenses. For one of the few times in history, that regime is naked. There is no Assad. There is no Hezbollah. There is no Hamas. There is no Houthis that are capable of, as surrogates, attacking the Israeli state. “‘So, maybe you could attack Iran—just this brief window—because Israel, in a series of brilliant air responses, has destroyed its ability—Tehran's ability to defend itself.”
