An Egyptian-brokered cease-fire began Sunday evening at 11:30 p.m. local time between Israel and the Iranian-backed terrorist militia known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) after two days of fighting in which Israel had the clear upper hand. PIJ fired hundreds of rockets at Israel — including at the major cities of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv — none of which caused any direct casualties, thanks to Israel’s Iron Dome system, which knocked down rockets aimed at the country’s population centers. One PIJ rocket landed on a home in the Israeli town of Sderot, but the family was sheltering inside their home’s “safe […]

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) defeated fellow incumbent Rep. Andy Levin (D-MI) in Michigan’s 11th congressional district in suburban Detroit in Tuesday’s primary, after the issue of Levin’s hostility to Israel became a defining issue in the contest. The two incumbents, both in their second terms in Congress, were pitted against each other after new district boundaries made Levin’s district in Oakland County more favorable to Republicans, and he challenged Stevens rather than defending his seat. Levin is also the nephew of former Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI), who represented the state in Washington for nearly four decades. Among other statements critical of Israel, […]
President Joe Biden is set to announce Monday that the U.S. has killed Al Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri, after slamming President Donald Trump when he announced that the U.S. had taken out ISIS and Iranian terrorist leaders in 2019 and 2020. When Trump confirmed in October 2019 that U.S. special forces had found and killed ISIS founder and leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Biden did not offer simple congratulations, but said the operation had succeeded despite Trump’s “erratic” behavior Former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading 2020 White House hopeful, said on Monday that ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in a U.S. […]
Billionaire left-wing mega-donor George Soros has written an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal justifying his support for electing radical prosecutors across the country amid a rise in violent crime and recall elections by angry urban residents. Since 2018, Soros has been responsible for electing dozens of prosecutors in big-city jurisdictions, often ousting centrist Democrats. Their arrival has been accompanied by spikes in violent crime and social disorder, prompting an urban exodus. In June, voters in the left-wing stronghold of San Francisco ousted radical prosecutor Chesa Boudin in a rare recall vote. Now, voters in Los Angeles are poised to hold a […]
A comprehensive study by Harvard University of the motivations of those who participated in the January 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol found that only 8% wanted to start an insurrection or civil war — contrary to claims by the January 6 Committee. The Harvard Crimson reported last week: In the most comprehensive study to date of what motivated the Trump supporters to attack the Capitol, Shorenstein Center researchers found that 20.6 percent of the rioters, a plurality, were motivated to take part in the riot because they supported Trump. Another 20.6 percent of the rioters cited Trump’s fraudulent claims that […]
Los Angeles County will not re-impose a mask mandate, as it had threatened to do, because coronavirus cases began to fall and the hospitalization rate fell below the threshold of ten cases per 100,000 residents, public health officials said Thursday. As Breitbart News reported earlier in July, the county reached the threshold for “high” community levels of COVID-19, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), beginning a two-week countdown to new mask mandates. But local businesses protested loudly, and city governments in El Segundo, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, and Pasadena announced that they would not comply with […]
The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) served a complaint Tuesday on a bar in Miami that offers drag shows to children, and which was recently featured in viral videos showing a topless drag queen attempting to entertain a young girl. The R House bar, located in the Wynwood area of Miami, has 21 days to respond to the administrative complaint. If the bar is found to be in violation of local laws and codes, it could then lose its liquor license, effectively putting it out of business. Video posted earlier this month by the “Libs of Tik Tok,” […]
Former White House adviser Stephen K. Bannon was found guilty Friday in federal court in Washington, DC, on both counts of contempt of Congress, after the jury deliberated for about three hours. Bannon’s defense team, anticipating a possible guilty verdict, had said earlier in the week that they intended to appeal, given that Judge Carl Nichols barred many defenses, including legal challenges to the validity of the subpoenas of the January 6th committee, which he was accused of defying. Bannon had served as the CEO of the Trump campaign in late 2016, steering it to victory against the odds. He later […]
CLAIM: President Donald Trump failed to stop rioters who were “savagely beating and killing law enforcement officers.” VERDICT: FALSE. While some rioters attacked police, they did not kill any; the only person killed was a fellow rioter. The January 6 Committee held its eighth public hearing on Thursday, and its second in prime time. The event was billed as a crucial moment, the last scheduled hearing and one in which damning evidence would be revealed about Trump’s role. Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the chair of the committee, opened proceedings by addressing the hearing remotely, since he was recently diagnosed with COVID-19. […]
The January 6 Committee’s eighth public hearing Thursday produced testimony that there was a “heated discussion” between then-President Donald Trump and the Secret Service during the Capitol riot — not that Trump tried to seize the wheel of the presidential vehicle. The testimony was a significant step back from claims last month by former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson — based on hearsay — that Trump had tried to wrest control of the vehicle from the Secret Service. Hutchinson’s claimed were immediately disputed by the Secret Service agents she named, Tony Ornato and Bobby Engel. Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA) cited Ornato […]
Several journalists erroneously tweeted that Stephen K. Bannon was found guilty of contempt of Congress in federal court in Washington, DC, on Thursday afternoon — before closing arguments in the trial Friday morning. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell tweeted: “BANNON GUILTY.” His colleague Chris Hayes tweeted “Bannon found guilty,” citing a tweet by CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane, who was covering a different case.

David Schoen, the defense lawyer who is representing Stephen K. Bannon in his ongoing trial for contempt of Congress in federal court in Washington, DC, told Breitbart News Tuesday evening that basic civil liberties were at stake in the outcome. “This could happen to any American,” Schoen said. Schoen spoke to Breitbart News after both sides had presented opening arguments in the trial. Prosecutors argued that Bannon thought he was “above the law”; defense attorneys said that, on the contrary, Bannon tried to follow the law by seeking legal advice and waiting for the courts to resolve executive privilege claims. “When […]

A federal court approved 22 potential jurors Monday in the trial of Stephen K. Bannon for contempt of Congress, after a long day of questioning in which many jurors were excused because the January 6 Committee had biased them against Bannon. The Washington Examiner reported: The overwhelmingly liberal constituency in Washington has long put conservative defendants at a disadvantage when they stand trial in the nation’s capital, a dynamic that’s potentially amplified for Mr. Bannon by news coverage of the Jan. 6 committee and the Capitol riot. Out of dozens of potential jurors interviewed in the courtroom, roughly three said they were […]
The City of West Hollywood, California, is employing a man once convicted of manslaughter to help provide security after the city council voted to “defund” four police jobs last month and replace them with unarmed “ambassadors” instead. As Breitbart News reported in June: The city council of West Hollywood, California, voted Monday night to cut the number of armed sheriff’s deputies by four, replacing them with 30 unarmed “ambassadors,” despite a crime wave and a national backlash over “defund the police.” The Democrat-dominated haven, whose mayor once tried to ban Donald Trump from speaking in the city, and which honored porn […]
Los Angeles County has reached a “high” level of COVID-19 and has begun a countdown to the re-imposition of indoor mask mandates, according to county health director Barbara Ferrer on Thursday. As Breitbart News reported earlier in the week, county officials had warned that a mask mandate could be re-imposed by month’s end if the ongoing surge of highly contagious variants of coronavirus continued: The county’s public health website is registering a dramatic rise in test positivity rate and hospitalization, though deaths remain flat. According to a briefing Thursday by L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer, authorities will reimpose the indoor […]
Embattled Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is to disband a group of victims’ advocates within his office known as the “Lifer” unit that notifies victims when the people convicted of harming them are about to begin parole hearings. Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported: The Parole Unit, also known as the “Lifer Unit,” will be disbanded by the end of the year. The move comes after Gascon has banned prosecutors from attending parole hearings. Gascon’s office confirmed the move to Fox News, saying that notifying the victims can be “triggering” to them, that it bogs down resources, and that ultimately, […]
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has warned power consumers in Texas to conserve energy on Monday afternoon and evening because there will not be enough wind power to operate the power grid reliably in peak demand.

President Joe Biden attacked the six Supreme Court justices who recently voted to repeal Roe v. Wade, telling the nation on Friday that they had not delivered a “constitutional judgment” but rather “an exercise in raw political power.” He did so the morning after Justice Brett Kavanaugh was forced by pro-abortion activists to leave a Washington, D.C., restaurant through the back door, just weeks after a radical gunman was arrested for attempting to assassinate Kavanaugh at his private home. Though the White House condemned the assassination attempt, Biden himself was reluctant to deliver the message himself. And throughout the controversy over the Dobbs […]
The State of California has decided not to re-impose mask mandates on children attending school when they return in the fall, a decision that may have had as much to do with looming elections as with the science of COVID-19 transmission. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday: California kids will be allowed to go to school without face masks when classes resume in the fall. But public health officials still will recommend face coverings for students and staff in an effort to prevent COVID-19outbreaks at K-12 schools. The state’s guidance, updated last week, allows a continuation of the mask-free classrooms that returned […]
The campaign to recall Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón handed in 717,000 signatures to the county registrar on Wednesday — 26% more than the required target of 566,857 voters, in case some of the signatures are rejected. NORWALK, CA – JULY 06: Imelda Hernandez, whose son Christian David Silva was murdered Feb. 22, 2020, cheers after a truck arrives with over 700,000 petition signatures in an effort to recall Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón to be submited to the County of Los Angeles Registrar Recorder/County Clerk office on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 in Norwalk, CA.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is on a personal vacation to Montana despite California’s ban on state-funded travel to the state over its conservative social policies. Newsom’s vacation was first reported by CalMatters reporter Emily Hoeven, who noted that Newsom’s office had not disclosed his destination before the trip, as it usually does. The Fox News Channel also confirmed Wednesday that Newsom was in Montana, where his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, has relatives who own a ranch. The two were married there in 2008. California applied a travel ban to Montana in 2021 after the state adopted legislation to protect women’s sports from […]
KLEIN KAROO, South Africa — I am writing from a game reserve in the African bush, where we still have electricity in a nationwide blackout, thanks to a private generator. Twenty years ago, South Africa’s trade unions resisted efforts to privatize the state power company, Eskom, which was then highly efficient and profitable. The ruling party then stacked the company with cronies, and plundered it with corrupt contracts. Now South Africa has private electricity by default — for those who can afford it. We in the United States can no longer observe such tragicomic events with a sense of detachment. […]
The January 6 Committee issued a subpoena to former White House counsel Pat Cipollone on Wednesday, despite the fact that he has already spoken to the committee, a day after testimony by surprise witness Cassidy Hutchinson fell apart. Hutchinson, a former aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, testified on Tuesday that she had heard others say that they had heard President Donald Trump tried to seize control of the car in which he was being driven by the Secret Service to reach a Capitol besieged by armed supporters. Democrats and the media celebrated Hutchinson’s testimony — until the […]
The city council of West Hollywood, California, voted Monday night to cut the number of armed sheriff’s deputies by four, replacing them with 30 unarmed “ambassadors,” despite a crime wave and a national backlash over “defund the police.” The Democrat-dominated haven, whose mayor once tried to ban Donald Trump from speaking in the city, and which honored porn star Stormy Daniels with the key to the city during her crusade against Trump, has seen crime rise 137% in one year. Nevertheless, NBC Los Angeles reported, the city council voted 3-2 to cut police funding in deference to the “Black Lives Matter” […]
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and the Democrat-run state legislature struck a deal late Sunday to send cash rebates to California families to help them afford high gas prices. It is the third stimulus plan that California has enacted in less than two years. California’s surging gas prices are the highest in the nation, at nearly $6.32 per gallon on average, versus $4.90 nationwide, according to the American Automobile Association. Earlier this year, Newsom proposed a $400 rebate for California drivers, and asked the state legislature to postpone a gas tax hike of three cents per gallon that was scheduled by an […]
Attorney Ken Klukowski is accusing the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol of withholding evidence, saying that it falsely accused him of participating in a plot to overturn the 2020 election. Klukowski was one of over 1,000 witnesses called to testify before the committee behind closed doors. He sat for several depositions, and for several hours at a time. WASHINGTON, DC – DECEMBER 15: Former U.S. Justice Department official Ken Klukowski (R) arrives at Thomas P. O’Neill Jr. Federal Building for a deposition before the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack […]
President Joe Biden repeated a falsehood known as the “fine people hoax” in an interview this week with the Associated Press, falsely claiming that his predecessor praised a mob of neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017. Biden has relied heavily on the hoax for the past three years, citing it as his reason for running for president, and reciting it to NATO leaders in Brussels earlier this year. But it is false: Trump had said the neo-Nazis should be “condemned totally.” Video of my confrontation with @JoeBiden over Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax. Note he always uses same script […]
The January 6 Committee hearings backfired on Thursday when a key witness against former President Donald Trump noted that Democrats, including Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), had attempted to block the certification of past election results. Retired U.S. Judge J. Michael Luttig, a former appellate judge on the Fourth Circuit, and a respected conservative voice, was one of several legal experts who testified on the third day of public hearings. The goal of the hearing was to argue that Trump had pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to follow what they considered an constitutional path of refusing to certify the Electoral College vote […]
The campaign to recall George Soros-backed Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Wednesday that it had gathered the 566,857 voter signatures necessary by the deadline to put a recall on the ballot in the next election. The announcement came a week after San Francisco recalled their own left-wing district attorney, Chesa Boudin, who was Gascón’s successor in that city, and also received $100,000 from Gascón’s political action committee to fight that recall. In a press statement, the campaign to recall Gascón said: Today, the Recall DA George Gascon campaign announced it has surpassed 566,857 signatures collected as of June 14th, which […]

California Governor Gavin Newsom tried to reframe the political narrative on crime Saturday, claiming that America has a “red state murder problem,” rather than a problem of homicide in Democrat-controlled cities across the nation. Newsom was speaking with Elex Michaelson, host of The Issue Is podcast, on the occasion of the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles. He claimed the media had inflated the broader significance of the recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin. Newsom, a former mayor of the city, said that the recall had been “so predictable,” and that he had “enjoyed it,” though he argued that […]
A bipartisan group of senators announced a deal on gun control legislation Sunday in the wake of recent mass shootings — though the compromise excludes President Joe Biden’s “assault weapons” ban and a raised minimum age for rifle purchases. The deal includes Republican priorities such as expanded mental health services and school safety. It nods to Democratic priorities by adding expanded background checks for those under the age of 21, who will now have juvenile records screened before gun purchases. A press released from the bipartisan group outlines the contours of the proposed legislation (original emphasis) : BIPARTISAN GROUP OF SENATORS […]
Former White House economic adviser Peter Navarro filed a motion in federal court in Washington, DC, on Friday, claiming that the FBI agents who arrested him last week failed to read him his Miranda rights or to provide him access to his attorney. Navarro was arrested last week for contempt of Congress as he was boarding a flight at Reagan National Airport. He has declined to cooperate with the January 6 Committee, citing claims of executive privilege and constitutional objections. Navarro is asking the court to compel the FBI to provide documents pertaining to his arrest. In his motion, he alleges: To […]
The term “un-American” has been abused in recent years, but it certainly applies to Thursday night’s show trial by the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol. Democrats apparently believe that having a one-sided inquisition with doctored evidence in prime time will help boost their party’s fortunes in the midterm elections. It should have the opposite effect, showing Americans that Democrats are violating the Constitution while ignoring real issues. The hearing revealed nothing that Americans did not know before; even the “new” footage of the Capitol riot felt old, after Democrats used similar footage […]
The January 6 Committee played a deceptively edited video of the Capitol riot on Thursday evening, dubbing audio of former President Donald Trump describing the peaceful part of the rally over footage of violent clashes a mile away. The video was presented during the committee’s first public hearing as part of a montage that Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said included never-before-seen footage. The audio was from a Fox News interview of Trump on July 11, 2021. The committee played Trump’s comments — which referred to his peaceful rally, over a mile away — over visuals of clashes between rioters and police. […]
The first testimony shown at the first public hearings of the January 6 Committee on Thursday evening was a recorded deposition of former Attorney General William Barr, who had voluntarily agreed to testify in closed-door proceedings. It was not clear whether Barr understood that in providing a deposition, he was agreeing to an on-camera appearance in public, without context, without the protections of legal counsel, and without cross-examination by the opposition. Barr was shown saying that he tried to explain to then-President Donald Trump that he believed claims of election fraud were “bullshit,” after the Department of Justice had said that […]
The U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol has yielded little new information, on the eve of its first public hearing, beyond what was already known when Democrats put former President Donald Trump on trial. Trump acted provocatively when he called for tens of thousands to protest the certification of the 2020 presidential election. But he did not “incite” the riot at the Capitol — not within the legal definition of the term, or even the common one. As the impeachment trial — which was arguably unconstitutional, and which the Chief Justice of […]
Chesa Boudin, the San Francisco district attorney who was recalled by voters Tuesday by a 60%-40% margin, blamed “right-wing billionaires” for his ouster, rather than the soaring crime rates and urban filth that made the city a national disgrace. The rejected Boudin, the son of a convicted Weather Undergound militant, told supporters in a concession speech: “The right-wing billionaires outspent us three to one” and that his critics “took advantage” of public frustration with crime. But San Francisco Chronicle columnist Heather Knight disagreed in a piece titled “Chesa Boudin blamed the recall on the right wing. But S.F. voters who ousted him […]
California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) celebrated news of his early primary victory on Tuesday by declaring his state to be the “antidote” to what ails America — which, in his view, is the Republican Party and the things for which it stands.

Billionaire businessman Rick Caruso jumped to an early lead over rival Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) as votes were counted Tuesday evening, leading by 8,000 votes, or roughly 41% to 38%. The left-wing Bass is the choice of the Democratic Party establishment, and was nearly selected as Joe Biden’s running mate in the 2020 election. Caruso, a Republican-turned-Independent-turned-Democrat, is running on a promise to fix crime and homelessness, pointing to his successful career as a real estate developer — a tactic that has earned him comparisons, from critics, to Donald Trump. The race has divided the Hollywood elite, as Breitbart News has […]
San Francisco voters have recalled radical District Attorney Chesa Boudin, according to the Associated Press, NBC News, and the San Francisco Chronicle, with the “yes” vote running in excess of 60% as early results were counted Tuesday night. Boudin, the son of convicted Weather Underground militant David Gilbert, was among the first of a cohort of left-wing prosecutors elected on to pursue “criminal justice reform,” vowing to stop prosecuting “quality of life” crimes. His recall — in the country’s most left-wing city — sends a warning to left-wing prosecutors nationwide, dozens of whom have been elected in the past few years with […]

CLAIM: President Joe Biden claimed that “nothing” was done after mass shootings like the one in Parkland, Florida in 2018. VERDICT: FALSE. The Parkland attack prompted the Republican-led state to pass a red flag law and improve school safety. The Parkland shooting at the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School involved a mentally disturbed former student who had been sheltered from prosecution despite numerous violent outbursts and encounters with police. Police, including a school resource officer, waited to go into the school to stop the shooting as it was in progress. Seventeen people were killed. Far from doing “nothing,” the Republican legislature […]
The State of California, which entered the Union in 1850 as a free state, has issued a 492-page interim report recommending the state pay reparations for slavery and for other acts of racial injustice, nationally and locally, over the last two centuries. The report, issued by the California’s Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans, is the outcome of deliberations that were launched last June when Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed AB 3121 into law. The nine-member panel, which is predominantly black, deadlocked for months over the question of who should benefit from proposed reparations — whether all […]
Johnny Depp’s victory Wednesday in his defamation lawsuit against ex-wife and fellow actor Amber Heard marks the end of the “believe all women” era in Hollywood, when the #metoo movement could end a male actor’s career on accusations alone. Many of those accused during the #metoo era were, in fact, guilty — and brutally so. Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, a Clinton crony who lorded over Tinseltown, could spend the rest of his life in prison after being convicted of rape in 2020. Though the movement began as a reaction to the presidency of Donald Trump, whom many on the left believed […]
The jury in a Fairfax County, Virginia, courthouse decided Wednesday that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard each wronged the other, though Depp was the more aggrieved party, in a defamation suit and counter-suit that captivated the country. Depp sued Heard, his former wife, for a 2018 op-ed in the Washington Post that claimed she was a victim of domestic abuse. She did not name Depp directly, but it was clear from the context that she was accusing Depp of having abused her. Depp sued Heard for $50 million. Heard filed a counterclaim for $100 million, complaining about statements his lawyers had made […]
LOS ANGELES, California — L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, a billionaire real estate developer who is surging in the polls, told Breitbart News on Tuesday that an outsider candidate can win, and succeed, despite resistance from entrenched interests. “Well, [former mayor] Dick Reardon was an outsider, and I think he was regarded as a very good mayor, accomplished a lot,” Reardon said. “And by the way, Tom Bradley was an outsider. He was a cop before he became mayor. So, yes, outsiders can win, outsiders can do a great job, and I’ve got a track record of accomplishing quite a bit.” […]
Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann was acquitted Tuesday of lying to the FBI when he fed it false information about supposed “collusion” between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia during the 2016 campaign. Sussmann gave the FBI data that had been produced by researchers working with the campaign and that purported to link Trump to Russia via Alfa Bank. The accusation was soon found to be groundless, but was part of the overall “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory that the Clinton campaign used to smear Trump during the campaign and after his victory. Sussmann was accused of presenting himself to the […]
An election to the Compton, California city council has been overturned due to the discovery of election fraud in a close race in which the winning candidate has been charged with voter fraud and bribery. Compton City Council member Isaac Galvin, who appeared to win his seat by the slimmest possible margin of one vote, was arrested last year, along with five other people, and charged with conspiracy to commit election fraud. He will be replaced by his challenger, Andre Spicer, after a judge ruled Friday that four of the votes in the election were invalid because they were cast by […]
Gun control might have had a political chance in the wake of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting last week, but Democrats ended the prospect of major changes when they backed Black Lives Matter and “Defund the Police” in the riotous summer of 2020. The spectacle of mobs rampaging through America’s cities, while police were demonized and told to stand down, convinced millions of ordinary people that unless they owned a firearm, they would not be able to defend their businesses and families. Moreover, many Democrats backed calls to cut funding to police or to abolish them entirely. The pushback from moderate […]
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) reported Thursday that there was no armed school resource officer at the Uvalde school when a gunman entered — through an unlocked door — and began killing 19 children and two teachers. As Breitbart News reported, a DPS spokesman overturned much of what the public had been told before during a stunning press conference on Thursday. The proverbial “good guy with gun” had not failed; he simply never had been present. As local NBC affiliate KXAN reported: The shooter who killed at least 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday […]
Former White House national security official Kash Patel said Thursday that the only tactic the defense had left in the Michael Sussmann trial was “jury nullification,” in which they would urge the jury to look past the evidence presented. Patel spoke to Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM Patriot 125, one day after the prosecution rested its case. The final piece of evidence was the interview that Patel himself had conducted with Sussmann four years ago, when he was helping then-Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) run an investigation into “Russia collusion” on the House Intelligence Committee. Sussmann had […]
As many as three donors to Hillary Clinton’s past presidential campaigns are members of the jury in the trial of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann in Washington, D.C., who faces the sole charge of lying to the FBI. Prosecutors working with Special Counsel John H. Durham contend that Sussmann concealed his work for the campaign when passing along information to the FBI about an alleged link between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia, via Alfa Bank. The Alfa Bank claim was later found to be baseless, and witnesses said this week that Sussmann’s alleged deception gave him status as a confidential […]
Hillary Clinton approved an effort to leak allegations that Donald Trump was colluding with Russia via Alfa Bank, according to her 2016 presidential campaign manager, Robby Mook, who testified Friday in federal court in Washington, DC. The Alfa Bank allegations were later disproven, as was the broader “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory that they supported. 2016 Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook confirms #Hillary Clinton approved release of Trump-Alfa Bank allegations. Following the OK, “My recollection is it was a still-unnamed campaign staffer … with our press department” who contacted media. #SussmannTrial — John Haughey (@JFHaughey58) May 20, 2022 Mook said he told […]
Former FBI general counsel James A. Baker testified Thursday that former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann told him that he was not working for a client when conveying claims Donald Trump was colluding with Russia. The testimony is crucial to Special Counsel John H. Durham’s case against Sussmann, who alleged that Trump was linked to Russia via Alfa Bank. The FBI investigated the claim and found it to be baseless. Durham’s prosecutors have claimed in court that Sussmann intended to reveal an “October surprise” against Trump in the 2016 election. Indeed, Clinton aide — now National Security Advisor — Jake […]
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has reportedly approached the House Select Committee to Investigate January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, asking for transcripts of interviews that it can use in prosecutions, the New York Times reported Tuesday. The committee is barred by the Constitution’s separation of powers from exercising law enforcement powers. Congress can convene investigative committees, but they must have some relation to a legislative purpose, or to an impeachment purpose. The Times reported: The Justice Department has asked the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack for transcripts of interviews it is conducting behind closed doors, including some with associates […]
Dr. John Cheng, a 52-year-old sports medicine specialist, is being hailed as a hero for charging the gunman who targeted the Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, Orange County, California, on Sunday, saving lives at the cost of his own. The Los Angeles Times reported: The churchgoer killed when a gunman opened fire at a Laguna Woods church Sunday was a sports medicine doctor and master of martial arts who was slain while trying to stop the shooting, authorities said Monday. Orange County sheriff’s officials said that when the suspect began shooting, Dr. John Cheng put himself in the line of fire […]
Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gloated Monday as the prosecution in his corruption trial asked the court for permission to amend its indictment against him when a key witness backtracked on his earlier testimony against him. “In your face,” Netanyahu told reporters. התגובה של נתניהו לבקשת תיקון כתב האישום: “זה מה שנקרא In your face”@almog_tamar pic.twitter.com/dk9M0xXUhq — כאן חדשות (@kann_news) May 16, 2022 He faces three charges, which have been described by critics from the beginning as bogus, and as an apparent effort by Netanyahu’s political enemies in the Israeli legal fraternity to remove him from power. In what is […]
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said goodbye on Friday, May 13, closing a curious run as the main voice of the Biden administration. She left Biden at a low point, suffering in the polls amidst inflation and shortages at home, and chaos abroad. Yes some — particularly in the establishment media — have called her the “best ever,” perhaps because the job of explaining Joe Biden’s failures is simply so difficult. Here are the 10 most memorable moments of her tenure, for better or for worse: 17. COVID and masks. Despite sanctimonious lectures about pandemic precautions, Psaki somehow managed to contract […]
Liberal, Democratic Party-aligned strategists, pollsters, and think tank experts spent six months coming up with the “ultra MAGA” label that President Joe Biden has begun to deploy against Republicans ahead of a difficult midterm election. Biden’s attempt to appropriate the “MAGA” brand as a political attack was hardly accidental. It arose from a six-month research project to find the best way to target Republicans, helmed by Biden adviser Anita Dunn and by the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal group. In battleground areas, more than twice as many voters said they would be less likely to vote for someone […]
White House press secretary Jen Psaki leaves her job Friday, and while she departs amidst the praise of the press corps, she is also departing after her boss has dropped from 20 points net positive approval to 12 points net negative approval in the polls. Former White House political adviser David Axelrod told Vogue magazine recently that Psaki is the best press secretary of his lifetime. But certainly the best press secretary would prevent the president from tumbling 30 points in net approval? In these deeply divided times, it might be expected that presidents would be disliked by a significant portion of […]
Convicted transgender child sex molester James “Hannah” Tubbs, who was given a light juvenile sentence by George Soros-backed Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, has been booked for murder in Kern County to the north. Tubbs pleaded guilty to choking and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl in a bathroom stall in 2014, a crime that shocked Los Angeles at the time. Gascón declined to prosecute Tubbs as an adult because the crime took place just before Tubbs’s 18th birthday. The juvenile sentence meant Tubbs would not have to register as a sex offender. One of Gascón’s criminal justice “reforms” was […]
Two of California’s dams are at “critically low” levels at a time of year when they are usually full-to-overflowing, signaling that the Golden State is about to enter a brutal phase of a drought that has lasted three years thus far and has no end in sight. The Los Angeles Times reported Monday: At a point in the year when California’s water storage should be at its highest, the state’s two largest reservoirs have already dropped to critically low levels — a sobering outlook for the hotter and drier months ahead. Shasta Lake, which rises more than 1,000 feet above sea level […]
The late feminist and anti-apartheid activist Rhoda Kadalie, who died in April, led the fight to include abortion rights in the South African Constitution, but became more skeptical of the pro-choice movement once she arrived in the U.S. The reason: Kadalie presumed that a woman’s right to an abortion would apply to the early stages of pregnancy, and was shocked by the insistence among American pro-choice activists that abortion should be available up to the moment of birth itself. “I’m 150 percent pro-abortion,” Kadalie said in 1996. “Women have had abortions for centuries and in a country like ours where many […]
LOS ANGELES, California — Parishioners confronted several pro-abortion protesters in costumes from The Handmaid’s Tale who attempted to disrupt Sunday mass at Our Lady of the Angels, the “mother church” of the L.A. archdiocese. Video of the confrontation went viral on social media on Sunday evening: Marxists try to disrupt Mass at Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels. Security, ushers and parishioners said they were not having it.#cathedral #Catholic pic.twitter.com/HlN8yHxPKL — Romangod7 (@Romangod7) May 8, 2022 The scuffle continued near the exit: The left-wing protesters continued to resist being moved out of the Cathedral in Los Angeles after failing to shut […]
The New York Times published a lead editorial on Sunday in which it warned that overturning Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 abortion law, would mean ending interracial marriage, repeating an erroneous argument the left has spread for days. As Breitbart News reported last week, some Democrats reacted to the leak of Justice Samuel Alito’s draft decision by claiming that all other social rights were at risk if Roe were to be reversed, and states could even ban interracial marriage. But Justice Alito specifically distinguished abortion from all other cases, because it involves a potential human life, adding: “Nothing in this opinion should be […]
Critics are complaining that “Dave,” the new black character in the Dilbert cartoon strip, is “anti-trans” because he “identifies” as white. I’m still not cancelled? Day 2.

A campaign to force a recall election of George Soros-backed Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón has gathered 400,000 signatures, more than two-thirds of the number necessary, as public outrage against crime continues to grow. The petition effort, the second since Gascón took office in December 2020, looks likely to succeed, and is receiving greater attention thanks to high-profile cases. On Thursday, Gascón’s office declined to prosecute the man who rushed the stage and attacked comedian Dave Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl earlier in the week, even though he was armed with a knife that was embedded in a replica semi-automatic […]
President Joe Biden has reacted to the leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision reversing Roe v. Wade this week by citing his own role in blocking Judge Robert Bork from the Court in 1987, a notorious episode that launched the nation’s judicial wars. Bork, widely considered one of the finest legal minds of his generation, was a conservative jurist nominated by President Ronald Reagan to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. Until then, Supreme Court nominees were approved or rejected on the basis of qualifications; Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the most iconic conservative jurists of the era, had been confirmed […]
Special Counsel John H. Durham won a victory Wednesday when a federal judge in Washington, DC, agreed to compel the production of documents that Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign said were protected by attorney-client privilege. Durham is prosecuting former Clinton lawyer Michael Sussmann for lying to the FBI when he claimed to be acting as a private citizen in providing false information purporting to link then-candidate Donald Trump to the Russian government via Alfa Bank. As the New York Post noted earlier in the week: In court papers filed last month, Durham said the Democratic National Committee, Hillary for America, the Fusion GPS […]
Violent demonstrators attacked police, vandalized a sidewalk, and smashed a local business on Tuesday evening during a protest against the Supreme Court’s impending decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 abortion decision. The gathering was initially peaceful, as several hundred people gathered in front of the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles to share their outrage at a leaked majority decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case. Pro-choice activists march in protest after gathering outside the US Courthouse to defend abortion rights in downtown Los Angeles on May 3, 2022. – The Supreme Court is poised to strike down […]
Supporters of Roe v. Wade are spreading fears that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s draft decision overturning the landmark abortion case would mean that other Court precedents, including interracial marriage, could also be canceled. The Republicans won’t stop with banning abortion. They want to ban interracial marriage. Do you want to save that? Well, then you should probably vote. https://t.co/MRytdsjUBP — Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) May 3, 2022 The right to an abortion has about as much legal precedence in America as the right to interracial marriage, which is to say, apparently, none at all. — Derek Johnson (@derekjGZ) May 3, 2022 […]
Rev. Franklin Graham praised the leaked draft decision of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade on Monday evening, describing it as “an answer to may years of prayers” since the decision declaring abortion a right was made in 1973. In a Facebook post, Graham wrote: “Praise God! The Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade according Politico, which received a supposedly leaked copy of the opinion draft. I don’t know if this report is true, but if it is, it’s an answer to many years of prayers.” Graham was commenting on a Politico report that presented a draft opinion in […]
Pro-choice activists called on Congress to “pack the courts” in a spontaneous demonstration outside the barricaded Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. on Monday evening, after a draft opinion leaked overturning the Roe v. Wade (1973) decision. As Breitbart News noted, Politico obtained a leaked draft majority opinion by Justice Samuel Alito, holding narrowly that Roe v. Wade was no longer precedent, that there is no constitutional right to abortion, and that states must decide the issue. Barricades were immediately set up outside the Court to prevent attacks on the building, and demonstrators soon arrived. Some were inclined to hold silent vigil. Others vented their […]
Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) called for Congress to “expand” the Supreme Court on Monday, as activists chanted “pack the Court!” outside the building after a draft decision leaked that would overturn the Roe v. Wade (1973) decision on abortion. Court-packing refers to the idea of adding seats to the Supreme Court and immediately filling the vacancies with reliably loyal justices. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt threatened to pack the Court in the 1930s; left-wing Democrats revived the idea after the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, which gave the Court a nominal 5-4 conservative majority that has since expanded to 6-3 since […]
Former Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton went maskless at the 2022 Met Gala in New York on Monday night, as a masked black staffer attended the length train of her shimmering red evening gown.

President Joe Biden’s garbled request for Congress to authorize an additional $33 billion in spending for weapons to send to Ukraine came without any explanation as to what U.S. goals in the ongoing war might be, or what victory might look like. The answer may be in the spending proposal itself: the Biden administration may hope to defeat Russia, not just by stopping its advance in Ukraine, but by causing Russia’s ailing military to collapse and forcing President Vladimir Putin out of power. That is the goal that Biden let slip during his address in Warsaw, Poland, in lat March, which […]
Nina Jankowicz, the newly-appointed head of the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board, told Congress in October 2020 that she saw no role for the federal government in policing disinformation online. “I do not think government should be in that business,” she said during testimony before the House Intelligence Committee. Jankowicz, who has since argued for a strong government role in pushing back against “disinformation,” was questioned by Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), who said that his experience growing up in tyrannical countries in Latin America had made him “violently allergic” to governments that claimed to be regulating the flow of information. “We start […]
The editorial board of the Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper at the nation’s oldest university, called for a boycott of Israel for alleged “crimes against humanity,” and demanded a “free Palestine,” meaning the destruction of the State of Israel. The phrase “free Palestine” is typically used to mean the creation of a Palestinian state on all of the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, including not only Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) and Gaza, but all of Israel itself. The editorial says nothing about Israel’s right to exist, or what the boundaries of a “free” Palestine would be. […]
California’s long-delayed and partially-canceled high-speed rail project received some welcome news Thursday, when state regulators approved the construction of a 90-mile stretch from San Jose to the rural town of Merced in the Central Valley. The San Francisco Chronicle reported: A 90-mile stretch of California’s high-speed rail project between San Jose and Merced was unanimously approved on Thursday by the state’s High Speed Rail Authority. The authority board of directors also certified the Final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement, which gives clearance for nearly 400 miles of the project’s 500-mile Phase 1, which stretches from San Francisco to Los Angeles/Anaheim, “including […]
Staff of the California Coastal Commission have recommended that a proposed desalination project in Orange County be rejected ahead of a deciding vote on May 12, despite urgent water needs highlighted by an ongoing drought in the region. The Orange County Register noted on Monday that a staff report advised against allowing the company, Poseidon Water, to built a desalination plant in Huntington Beach, despite the success of similar plants in nearby San Diego and Santa Barbara: Citing a range of economic and social factors, including environmental damages from the proposed plant and the company’s track record for slow-walking environmental projects that […]
California’s drought continues, with the state’s snowpack only at 35% of the historical average, despite heavy snows in the Sierra Nevada that doubled the entire snowfall for the first quarter of the year.

The Orange County coroner’s office has been ordered to pay $1.5 million to the family of a homeless man whom they were told was dead — though he was actually still alive, and a different homeless man had been buried in their loved one’s grace. The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday: Frankie Kerrigan, 57, had profound schizophrenia, and had been on and off the streets for a decade. He resisted taking his medication, and tended to bolt if his family pushed. It looked like he had died violently on May 6, 2017. … A body was delivered to the Kerrigans. There was […]
The man who pleaded guilty to murdering black philanthropist Jacqueline Avant last year laughed in a jailhouse call laughed about shooting her in the back and bragged that he would leave prison early because Los Angeles prosecutors did not ask for sentence enhancements. Aariel Maynor (CDC via Fox LA) The Los Angeles Times reported Monday on the call by Aariel Maynor, which is the latest revelation about the contempt that criminals have for the justice system under L.A. District Attorney George Gascón. The Times noted: The man who pleaded guilty to the murder of Jacqueline Avant in her Beverly Hills home last year shot […]
The San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday that a growing number of lawmakers are concerned that Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who is 88 years old, is in a state of mental decline so severe that she may need to resign in the near future. Critics have raised such concerns about Feinstein before, notably when she showed some civility toward Republicans during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett in 2020. Feinstein also rankled Democrats by praising one of Barrett’s answers to her questions. Feinstein, who was the ranking member of the minority party on the committee, […]
U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper denied a motion by Michael Sussmann on Wednesday to dismiss the charge he faces of lying to the FBI, confirming that the prominent “Russia collusion” trial will begin in May in federal court in D.C. Sussmann is accused of lying to the FBI when he said he was merely acting as a private citizen in reporting information that purported to connect then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia via Alfa Bank in 2016. The information was false, but formed part of the “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory that turned the political world upside-down, led the FBI to conduct […]
A new bill under consideration by the California State Legislature would allow the state’s medical board to discipline doctors who provide what is considered “misinformation or disinformation” about COVID-19 — and even strip them of their licenses. The bill, AB 2098, introduced in February, “would designate the dissemination or promotion of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or ‘COVID-19,’ as unprofessional conduct. The bill would require the board to consider specified factors prior to bringing a disciplinary action against a physician and surgeon. The bill would also make findings and declarations in this regard.” The legislation also declares: “Major […]

A model New Jersey state curriculum provided to parents in the Westfield school district and released by State Sen. Holly Schepisi (R-39) suggests that students should begin learning about gender identity as early as the first or second grade. Transgender activists believe that gender identity is different from biological sex, and that individuals may switch genders. While there is growing tolerance for that idea among adults, including in Supreme Court decisions, many Americans believe it should not be introduced to young children, for whom discussions of sex, gender, and sexuality are inappropriate. As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, Sen. Schepisi released […]
Los Angeles County banned official travel Tuesday to the states of Texas and Florida over those states’ legislation protecting the youngest children from being instructed about sexuality and gender — what the left calls “Don’t Say Gay” laws. Florida’s law, the Parental Rights in Education Act, was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) last week, while Texas Lt. Gov Dan Patrick (R) says that he will support similar legislation in the Lone Star State. The word “gay” is not mentioned in the legislation and does not prevent students from talking about their own families or interests. It allows parents to […]

Fox News’ White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House press secretary Jen Psaki Monday whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will turn himself in for war crimes, now that U.S. President Joe Biden has called for a prosecution. Doocy was asking about the practical consequences of Biden’s declaration earlier Monday that Putin is a war criminal due to alleged atrocities in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha. Biden said Putin was guilty — but then added that there had to be a trial. It is unclear how such a declaration would be enforced, without the U.S. winning a war against Russia, or […]

Former Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was fined last week by the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) for paying for the fraudulent “Russia dossier” — but NBC’s Chuck Todd failed to ask her about it on Sunday morning. As Breitbart News reported last week: Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and the Democrat National Committee were fined on Tuesday $113,000 by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for hiding their spending on the fraudulent Russia “dossier.” Hillary’s campaign and DNC allegedly reported payments to Democrat law firm Perkins Coie as legal expenses instead of earmarking them accurately as “paying Fusion GPS through Perkins Coie to […]
