Marjorie Taylor Greene says NYC earthquake is a ‘sign from God’ to repent: The Georgia Republican also said Monday’s eclipse is a sign of things to come
independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-nyc-earthquake-sign-god-b2524196.html
Quick Glance: Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'Repent' Earthquake Tweet Sparks Internet Reactions
- Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) shook up the internet on Friday by suggesting the earthquake in New York and Monday’s pending eclipse were messages from God to repent.
- Although God was unavailable for comment (probably because he’s focused on picking winners for the NCAA Tournament), folks on social media offered their own takes on Greene’s tweet.
- One person noted that God may indeed be sending a message, considering how close the quake came to former President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club.
- Others suggested that if God is sending a message, maybe it’s for Greene to 'stop being a horrible person.'

Ramy Youssef wants God to free Palestine and 'all the hostages' in 'SNL' monologue
usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2024/03/31/snl-ramy-youssef-monologue-israel-palestine/73160223007/
Quick Glance: 'SNL' Satirical Opening Embraces Politics; Ramy Youssef Prays for Palestinians and Hostages
- Amid an election year with promises of divergent visions of America, 'Saturday Night Live' dove into the politics of 2024 to find punchlines. The show opened with a satirical television special celebrating Easter, 'The Resurrection', which recounts the story of three women who witnessed the return of Jesus.
- Comedian and actor Ramy Youssef hosted 'SNL', performing a monologue that extended the show's focus on politics and touched on the Israel-Hamas war. He shared his thoughts on seeing numerous Trump campaign materials in upstate New York, which made him hesitant to speak Arabic in public when his mother called.
- Youssef mentioned how he prayed for the freedom of Palestinians, the hostages taken by Hamas militants in an attack on Israel, his friend's suffering family in Gaza, and even his friend's dog in a custody battle after a breakup.
- He expressed his decision not to campaign for Biden, suggesting that a trans woman should take on the task. Youssef emphasized that praying is all he can do currently, as his friends ask him to pray for them, sometimes for vastly different goals.
