Former President Donald Trump bests President Biden in a hypothetical 2024 matchup, an Emerson College survey released this week found. The survey found Biden’s approval under water, as 52 percent disapprove of his job performance. Notably, most independent voters, 55 percent, disapprove of his job performance as voters choose the economy as a top concern on their lists. Biden’s souring ratings likely give Republicans an advantage on a generic ballot, as the survey showed Republicans leading Democrats 45 percent to 42 percent on a generic congressional ballot. In light of that, the survey asked respondents who they would support in a […]

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Friday skipped the National Rifle Association (NRA) conference and spent the day in Uvalde, providing an update on the tragedy at a Texas elementary school shooting that left 19 children and two adults killed, making it clear that he is “livid” at the misinformation he was initially given on the shooting. In the wake of the Robb Elementary School shooting, the Texas Republican skipped attending the NRA convention in Houston in person, providing pre-recorded remarks at the event instead. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) also skipped an in-person appearance at the event. “While a strong […]
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) on Thursday introduced a measure to stop overreach from the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), deeming the proposed “pandemic treaty” another instance of “dangerous globalist overreach.” The National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman introduced S.4305 — or a “bill to limit the authority of the World Health Organization on the United States and to oppose amendments to the WHO Constitution that have not been approved by Congress.” Ultimately, the bill would ensure that the W.H.O. would not be able to “unilaterally impose public health restrictions on the United States and violate America’s national sovereignty,” according to the senator’s press release. Senator […]
Gas prices reached another record high on Thursday as Americans continue to grapple with rising prices across the board, all while the Biden administration continues to toe the line that Russia — not administration policies — are responsible for rising prices. The national gas price average reached $4.60 on Thursday, reflecting a nearly 47-cent increase in the last month. For greater perspective, the national gas price average stood at $3.035 one year ago. But currently, mid-grade is approaching the $5.00 mark, with the national average standing at $4.979. Premium is now $5.267, and the national average price for diesel is $5.538. That […]

Most Americans have an unfavorable view of Critical Race Theory (CRT), a survey from The Economist/YouGov found. The survey, taken May 15-17 of this year among 1,500 U.S. adults, asked respondents whether they have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of CRT. Most respondents, 52 percent, said they have an “unfavorable” opinion of the Marxist ideology. Of those, 45 percent have a “very unfavorable” opinion.

That includes 81 percent of Democrats, but the vast majority of Republicans and independents — 88 […]
A plurality of Americans consider abortion the same as the murder of a child, a survey from The Economist/YouGov showed. Answers were split to the question of whether respondents were “pro-life” or “pro-choice,” as 27 percent identified as “pro-life,” while 35 percent said “pro-choice,” and 23 percent said “both.” Similarly, respondents were split on when they believe abortion should be illegal, as 11 percent said it should “never be allowed,” and 29 percent said it should only be legal in special circumstances such as preserving the life of the mother. Another 31 percent said abortion should be legal with some restrictions, such […]
Former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), the Republican gubernatorial candidate vying to defeat incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Tuesday, told Breitbart News Saturday that recent polls are likely misleading for a variety of reasons, expressing the belief that they are not capturing what his team believes to be thousands of new MAGA voters. The gubernatorial hopeful addressed recent attacks from his Republican opponent — namely, attacks suggesting that former President Donald Trump is no longer standing with Perdue. That is patently false, as Trump endorsed him and even put another $2 million behind the Perdue campaign. Perdue deemed the attack as […]
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) spoke about the record-high gas prices the country is experiencing, forcefully criticizing the Biden administration for reducing American energy independence and going to dictators for assistance. “I’m looking around and this gas is going up even more,” the governor said, explaining that he is seeing prices close to $5.00 per gallon in some parts of the state as the national gas price average reached another record high for the ninth consecutive day on Wednesday. “It was probably about $4.15 just a couple of weeks ago,” he said. “So it’s going up and you know, they’re not […]

The national average for regular gas rose to $4.483 on Monday, reflecting a roughly 15-cent increase over the last week. According to AAA, has prices have risen over 40 cents during the last month. The national average for regular is also well over $1.40 more than it was one year ago. As of Monday, the average price for mid-grade stood at $4.845, and the average price for premium is now $5.132. The average price for diesel stands at $5.566, hitting […]
Likely voters are disillusioned by companies that jump into the political fray and openly advocate for political agendas that they personally disagree with, a Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey released Monday found. They survey asked respondents, “How likely are you to stop using a product or service of a company that openly advocates for a political agenda you disagree with?” Most, 87.1 percent, said it is at least somewhat likely they would stop using the product or service of the company in question, and of those, 51.8 percent said it is “very” likely. Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group Republicans and […]
David McCormick, the apparent frontrunner in the Pennsylvania Republican primary race for Senate, told Breitbart News Saturday that he is the real tried and true America First candidate, deeply committed to the American dream, American exceptionalism, and the forgotten men and women of the nation. Days ahead of the primary election, McCormick — the current frontrunner in the tight Senate race — defended himself as the true America First candidate, explaining that he has been putting America first since he was 18, attending West Point and ultimately serving in the 82nd Airborne Division. McCormick praised Trump’s America First agenda, explaining that […]
Most Americans are no longer worried about “experiencing” the Chinese coronavirus, a YouGov/The Economist survey released this week found. “Taking into consideration both your risk of contracting it and the seriousness of the illness, how worried are you personally about experiencing COVID-19?” the survey asked. Overall, most Americans, 57 percent, said they are not very worried about contracting the virus, and among those, 27 percent are “not worried at all.” In comparison, 43 percent are at least somewhat worried, but among those, only 15 percent are “very worried.” The survey also asked respondents to reveal how often they have worn a […]

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is reportedly considering implementing mask-only cars, pending concerns over the possible ramifications of mask enforcement. In April, Metrorail, Metrobus and MetroAccess made masks optional due to the ruling from a Trump-appointed federal judge in Florida, who deemed the Biden administration’s federal mask rule illegal. As a result, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) suspended enforcement. “Our mask mandate has been based on federal guidance,” General Manager and Chief Executive Officer Paul J. Wiedefeld said at the time. “We will continue to monitor this situation as it unfolds, but masks will be optional on Metro property until […]
President Joe Biden’s actions show he “doesn’t care” about rising gas prices, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Thursday as prices at the pump continued to reach record highs. “Americans are struggling with record gas prices – up over 50% since Biden took office – but he doesn’t care,” the governor said. “Rather than expand domestic energy production, he continues to reduce U.S. production capacity (increasing our reliance on foreign oil) by canceling our oil & gas leases,” he added: Americans are struggling with record gas prices – up over 50% since Biden took office – but he doesn’t care.

Incoming White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre once said that the 2016 election, which saw former President Donald Trump besting Hillary Clinton, was “stolen” — a claim that is ironic, given the fact that Democrats routinely dismiss questions regarding malfeasance in the 2020 presidential election. “Stolen emails, stolen drone, stolen election …..welcome to the world of #unpresidented Trump,” Jean-Pierre said in December 2016: Stolen emails, stolen drone, stolen election …..welcome to the world of #unpresidented Trump https://t.co/NI7vqPV6cu — Karine Jean-Pierre (@K_JeanPierre) December 18, 2016 After years of accusations and investigations, it was ultimately concluded that there was no such “collusion” between […]
Most Americans disagree with activist calls to protest at the private homes of Supreme Court Justices in light of the leaked draft SCOTUS opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, a Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey released Tuesday found. The survey asked respondents if they believe that “publishing the home addresses of the five U.S. Supreme Court Justices and calling for protests at their private homes is an acceptable way to protest” the forthcoming decision on the future of Roe v. Wade. The vast majority, 75.8 percent, said they do not agree with it, compared to 15.9 percent who do and […]
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said whoever leaked the Supreme Court draft opinion overruling Roe v. Wade should be punished “to the full extent” and told Breitbart News Saturday that the historic leak marked “opening day of primary season for the 2022 elections.” “Somebody chose to do this to betray the trust that has been placed upon them,” Blackburn said, noting that there is a “really small universe of people that have access to this.” “I think that the Marshal of the Court who’s conducting the investigation is going to very quickly hone down on who did this,” she said, adding that the […]
Most parents are hesitant to get their children under the age of five vaccinated for the Chinese coronavirus, an Economist/YouGov survey released this week found.

Forty-eight percent however, said they plan to do so. The survey was taken April 30 to […]
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) told Breitbart News Saturday that the Biden administration is trying to “police speech” with its Disinformation Governance Board, or “DGB,” which she said “sounds a lot like the KGB from the Soviet era.” “I have been saying for years and as you said, warned back in February that what they were trying to do is to police speech,” Blackburn said. “So now that Big Tech realizes we have successfully carried out these hearings and are going to pass something on privacy, data security … Elon musk has purchased Twitter, Truth Social is out there, well, these guys can’t stand it.” […]
Pennsylvania Republican candidate for U.S. Senate David McCormick said he has no hard feelings against former President Trump after the president verbally attacked him during Friday night’s rally, and vowed to continue to fight for American First policies and give Trump all the credit he deserves for pointing America in the right direction. “No, listen, here’s the way I see it. I get where he’s coming from,” McCormick told Breitbart News Saturday when asked if there were “hard feelings” after Trump criticized McCormick, calling him a “liberal Wall Street Republican” and adding that he “may be a nice guy, but he’s not […]
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday signed a $1.2 billion tax relief package, the largest tax relief package in the state’s history, which, in part, makes key baby items tax free for one year. The governor signed what he described as the “largest tax relief in the history of the state of Florida,” giving relief to millions of Floridians on key items that have skyrocketed over the course of Biden’s presidency. That includes “really critical needs like gas, diapers, disaster supplies, tools for skilled trades, [and] recreational activities.” “Families are going to be able to save for things that that really […]

Former President Donald Trump’s estranged niece Mary Trump melted down over a leaked draft of a Supreme Court majority opinion overruling Roe v. Wade, calling the high court “illegitimate” and calling on people to “fight NOW.” “Fuck this illegitimate SCOTUS. Fuck the Republican party that enabled this. And if you don’t care that this decision makes women second-class citizens, fuck you too,” Mary Trump ranted. “We don’t have the luxury of time–we need to fight NOW. It’s Democrats vs. Fascists in 2022. Vote accordingly,” she said: Fuck this illegitimate SCOTUS. Fuck the Republican party that enabled this. And if you don’t […]
Author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza talked about his upcoming film 2,000 Mules, showing how the 2020 election was manipulated, in part, though the mass use of mail ballots and ballot harvesting, calling the discoveries a “smoking gun” during a Friday appearance on Breitbart News Daily. The upcoming film details how paid operatives, or “mules,” trafficked ballots, “typically in the middle of the night,” to mail-in drop boxes. In this July 7, 2020, file photo a woman wearing gloves drops off a mail-in ballot at a drop box in Hackensack, N.J., while holding others in her other hand. (Seth Wenig, File / […]
Dirty voter rolls, the mass use of mail-in ballots, and privately-funded drop boxes “combined together to create an easy pass lane for fraud,” as “mules” — or ballot traffickers — trafficked thousands of ballots, likely altering the outcome of the 2020 election, True the Vote president and founder Catherine Engelbrecht told Breitbart News Saturday.

White House communications director Kate Bedingfield, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, on Friday announced she tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus, noting she last saw President Joe Biden 48-hours earlier while taking precautions, such as wearing an N-95 mask and social distancing. “This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. I last saw the President Wednesday in a socially-distanced meeting while wearing an N-95 mask, and he is not considered a close contact as defined by the CDC,” Bedingfield wrote on Friday, crediting her “mild” symptoms to being both vaccinated and boosted. “Thanks to being fully vaccinated and boosted, I am […]
President Joe Biden is flopping on a series of key issues, likely boosting Republicans ahead of the midterms, a survey from The Federalist/Susquehanna found. Overall, 54 percent disapprove of the president, and among those, 44 percent “strongly” disapprove. However, the situation worsens when likely voters are presented with specific issues, demonstrating the Democrats’ vulnerabilities heading into the November midterm elections. For instance, 61 percent disapprove of Biden’s handling of inflation, and among those, 51 percent “strongly” disapprove. This is significant, as recent surveys suggest Americans view the economy as a top issue determining how they will vote in future elections. Biden’s […]
Blue states, including New York and California, used Democrat-passed coronavirus relief funds to usher in the Marxist ideology Critical Race Theory (CRT) into schools, according to reports. Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act in March 2021, which President Biden signed into law shortly after. Republicans did not support the measure, but it passed in both chambers, as Democrats hold a majority. It included billions supposedly allocated to “safely” reopen schools. In August, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said New York’s plan to use the funds to “support K-12 schools and students” laid “the groundwork for the ways in which an unprecedented infusion […]
Just two percent of Americans view President Joe Biden’s economy as “excellent,” a Gallup survey released Wednesday found. According to the survey, economic issues are at the forefront of Americans’ minds, as they identify it as a top issue facing the country today. Most U.S. adults, 80 percent, rate the economy as either poor or fair, and of those, 42 percent say the economic conditions are poor. In contrast, one in five have a more positive outlook of economic conditions, but of those, just two percent rate the conditions as “excellent” under President Biden’s leadership. One in five also say the […]
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed election integrity legislation, SB 524, on Monday, ensuring elections remain secure in the Sunshine State by taking a number of key actions, including increasing penalties for ballot harvesting as well as strengthening voter ID requirements. The bill takes several steps, including requiring the annual renewal of voter rolls. It also increases penalties for violating of election laws, and creates the Office of Election Crimes and Security “to investigate election law violations,” according to the governor’s office. “Before now, there was not a dedicated office to investigate all election crimes in Florida,” the governor’s office said in […]
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday said Elon Musk’s offer to purchase Twitter “raises the prospect” that free speech will return to the platform. “.@elonmusk’s offer to buy Twitter is a good deal for shareholders and raises the prospect that the platform will be a place where free speech can thrive, not a tool for narrative enforcement,” DeSantis said of the news: .@elonmusk’s offer to buy Twitter is a good deal for shareholders and raises the prospect that the platform will be a place where free speech can thrive, not a tool for narrative enforcement. — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) April […]
A majority of Americans say ending the federal mask mandate is a good decision, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Friday found. “A federal judge recently struck down a policy requiring airline passengers to wear masks to protect against COVID-19. Is ending the mask mandate a good decision or a bad decision?” the survey asked, referencing the decision of United States District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, who deemed the Biden administration’s mask mandate illegal. Most, 51 percent, said it is a “good decision, while one-third, 34 percent, said it is a “bad decision.” Opinions are divided along party lines, as 72 percent […]
Most Americans identify the economy as the top issue in determining how they will vote in the future election, a Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey released this week found. While President Biden continues to struggle with souring approval ratings across the board — a trend that has plagued his presidency — 58 percent of eligible U.S. voters say the economy is the top issue that will determine how they vote in the November 8, 2022 midterm election. No other issue came close, as 32 percent said “healthcare” will likely determine their vote, followed by immigration (28 percent), government spending (23 percent), the […]
Democrats are still under the impression that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, changing the outcome, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Thursday found. The survey cited twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who said “Russia succeeded” in influencing the 2016 election, where she suffered an unexpected defeat. “How likely is it that Russian interference changed the outcome of the 2016 election?” the survey asked. Across the board, voters remain relatively split, as 47 percent said it is likely and 46 percent say it is not likely. However, of those, 32 percent said it is “not at all likely,” compared to the 26 […]
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will continue to embrace forced masking at transportation hubs in New York, it announced on Tuesday. On Tuesday, the first full day of President Biden’s federal mask mandate being nixed, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced that it would “continue to follow the guidance of the New York and New Jersey public health authorities with respect to mask mandates at its public transportation facilities.” In other words, it is not deferring to United States District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle’s ruling, in which she deemed Biden’s mask mandate illegal.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) opened up his press conference in The Villages on Tuesday by celebrating U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle, a Trump appointee, nixing the Biden administration’s “unscientific mask mandate on airplanes.” “We are very happy that finally we have judicial relief for that unscientific mask mandate on airplanes,” DeSantis said. “They’ve treated these flight attendants horribly for so long — the passengers, horribly.” “It’s caused huge problems with just behavior because it, it really messes with people and when they announced on those flights yesterday that the judge had ruled. I mean, you saw some of these […]
The Florida Police Chiefs Association (FPCA) on Tuesday formally endorsed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) for reelection. “On behalf of the Florida Police Chiefs Association, we are honored to endorse Senator Marco Rubio for reelection to the U.S. Senate,” FPCA president and Daytona Beach Shores Public Safety Department Director Stephan Dembinsky said in a statement, deeming Rubio a “consistent supporter of law enforcement in our nation’s capital, standing not just for public safety but for the health and welfare of law enforcement officers, even when it hasn’t been politically popular.” “The Florida Police Chiefs Association is proud to support Senator Rubio, and […]

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) defended the Florida Department of Education for rejecting dozens of books due to what it says is the infusion of Common Core and Critical Race Theory (CRT), as the governor made it clear that such material “doesn’t meet the standards” in the Sunshine State. “We got rid of Common Core. As you know, we have B.E.S.T. [Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking] standards which is a better way to do a lot of things, but particularly math,” DeSantis said during the Q&A portion of a press conference in Jacksonville, Florida, Monday morning. “I mean one of the […]
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday sharply criticized members of the far-left who are pushing radical pro-abortion views by justifying abortions performed on babies who are full term, making it abundantly clear that it is “infanticide.” The governor signed a bill on Thursday banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, noting that it is “a time where these babies have beating hearts” and can move, taste, see, feel pain, and suck their thumbs. But some, the governor said, are continuing to push radical pro-abortion views, fighting to allow the murder of babies, even up to full term — something DeSantis made […]
A majority of likely voters across the country have a favorable view of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) — a telling figure given the establishment media’s constant attacks and attempts to frame his policies as appealing to only a fringe minority. Overall, 52 percent of respondents said they have a favorable impression of the Florida governor, and of those, 37 percent said they have a “very” favorable view. Opinions are sharply divided on party lines, as 76 percent of Republicans have a favorable impression of DeSantis, compared to 53 percent of Democrats who have an unfavorable impression.

Inflation in the United States, which is at a 40-year high, is the “absolute consequence” of bad federal policies, and the prices of goods are going up “significantly more” than 8.5 percent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said during a Tuesday press conference. “I think it’s important to point out that we had the worst inflation report that this country has had in 40 years in March, it keeps going up every month,” DeSantis said. “You know, you go back last year, they said inflation wasn’t a worry even though a lot of us were saying that this was gonna be […]
The City of Philadelphia could reinstitute its indoor mask mandate, over one month after the Health Department moved the city into the “All Clear COVID Response Level.” The city has experienced an uptick in Chinese coronavirus cases, more than 50 percent in the last ten days, prompting the possibility of reintroducing the city’s indoor mask policy over two years after the start of the pandemic. The city is currently using a tiered system to determine which restrictions should be in place. According to Fox 29 Philadelphia, the city is still in the lowest “All Clear” tier, which is as follows: “No vaccine […]
Most New Hampshire voters believe the country is on the “wrong track” and seem to be unsatisfied with President Joe Biden’s America well into the second year of his presidency, a Saint Anselm College survey released this week found. Overall, the survey found Biden’s approval underwater by double digits, as 57 percent disapprove and 43 percent approve. Further, 56 percent find him unfavorable, and of those, 50 percent do so “strongly.” It also asked respondents, “Would you say that things in our country are heading in the right direction, or have things gotten off on the wrong track?” A majority, 68 percent, […]
Nearly half of U.S. voters say they are “financially worse” than they were one year ago, shortly after the end of former President Trump’s four years in office, Harvard/Harris Poll’s March survey found. The survey asked respondents, “Would you say that your personal financial situation is improving or getting worse?” Nearly half, 49 percent, said their financial situation is “getting worse.” That is over two times higher than the 21 percent of voters who said the same exactly one year ago, in March 2021, less than two months after Trump left office. That coincides with the top issue for voters, as […]
A plurality of Americans blame rising gas prices on President Biden’s economic policies, despite his attempts to deflect and blame others, a Quinnipiac University survey released this week found. “Which of the following do you think is the most responsible for the recent rise in gas prices: oil companies charging more; the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia; the Biden administration’s economic policies; or the rise in demand as the coronavirus pandemic eases?” the survey asked. While Biden has cast blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin and oil and gas companies, Americans are not blindly buying his excuses. A plurality, […]
Over one-third of Americans say they have had to cut groceries in order to afford gas as prices skyrocket in the second year of Biden’s presidency, a Quinnipiac University survey released this week found. Gas prices have skyrocketed throughout President Biden’s time in office. As of Thursday, the national gas price average stood at $4.225 per gallon, although some parts of the country are seeing prices well over $6.00 per gallon. While Biden has deflected, continuing to blame Russia for rising prices and inflation rather than his own bad economic policies and determination to quash American energy independence, not all Americans are […]
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg spent nearly $400 million on the 2020 presidential election in an effort to bolster then-candidate Joe Biden and quash former President Donald Trump, a documentary film from Citizens United Productions, Rigged: The Zuckerberg-Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump, details. The 40-minute documentary blows the lid off the tech billionaire’s efforts, alongside left-wing operatives, to unseat Trump under the guise of providing aid to assist with safety in the wake of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. These leftists essentially dumped private funding into government elections, creating an artificial groundswell of get-out-the-vote efforts for Biden, whose public enthusiasm levels clearly waned throughout […]

Florida’s first lady Casey DeSantis thanked her husband, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), for signing the Parental Rights in Education act on Monday, which prevents classroom-led discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity for children in kindergarten through third grade. “As a mama of three little ones, thank you Dad for empowering parents, like me, and protecting Florida’s children, like ours,” she said. “Classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity with kindergartners is wrong – especially without a parent’s knowledge nor consent,” the state’s first lady added: Under @GovRonDeSantis’ leadership, parents will not be excluded from their child’s education … and here […]
Far-left Democrats Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) initially showed support for Will Smith after the famed actor slapped Oscars cohost and comedian Chris Rock onstage, only to later delete their apparent support of violence. Smith, who won an Oscar for his lead role in King Richard, stunned viewers Sunday night after walking onto the stage and slapping Rock across the face — a reaction apparently triggered by a joke about Smith’s wife’s bald head, as the comedian jokingly referenced “G.I. Jane 2.” Smith’s wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith, apparently has alopecia, which causes hair loss, and looked visibly annoyed […]
Lynne Patton, a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump and his Save America PAC, laid out the clear contrast between Trump’s America and President Biden’s, telling Breitbart News Saturday that minorities, specifically, “reaped the benefits of President Trump’s unapologetic America First Agenda.” Patton, a longtime family Trump aide and former Housing and Urban Development administrator for New York and New Jersey who became the “highest ranking black female in the Trump administration during his last year in office,” previewed Trump’s massive rally taking place Saturday in Commerce, Georgia. “Trump’s going to do what he does best which is, you know, light the […]

Kellie Jay Keen, a British Women’s Rights activist working to address the transgender absurdity across the United States, confronted a man who claimed to be a “mother” at the NCAA swim finals, explaining to him that his usage of female spaces makes women uncomfortable. “On the basis of the comfort and dignity of girls and women, I’m asking you, telling you, please do not use women’s spaces. It makes them feel uncomfortable,” Keen, who has attended women’s rights protests in various states in recent weeks, told transgender activist Dawn Ennis. It is of particular note that this occurred at the NCAA swim finals, […]
A plurality of Americans believe the country is more divided since President Joe Biden took office, a Monmouth University Poll released this week found. “Has the country become more united, more divided, or not really changed since President Biden took office?” the survey asked. A plurality, 48 percent, said the country has become “more divided,” compared to 15 percent who said “more united” and 35 percent who said it has “not really changed.” This serves as yet another blow for the commander-in-chief, who chose “unity” as one of his top priorities upon taking office. However, he has continued to drive wedges […]
Conservative Sarasota County School Board member Bridget Ziegler, who has been battling the left’s monopoly on education for years, told Breitbart News Saturday that school boards across the country follow a “playbook,” which furthers their monopoly. She urged fellow parents to push back, because they are “on the right side of history.” Ziegler, who works in the private sector, has served on the Sarasota County School Board for eight years — something she previously never thought she would do, not having thought about running for public office, although she said she has always been passionate about children’s issues. When a vacancy […]
A majority of Americans say the skyrocketing gas prices in President Joe Biden’s America have caused financial hardship, a Monmouth University Poll released this week found. The survey asked respondents if rising gas prices “caused you any financial hardship” and prompted them to indicate the level. Overall, 68 percent said rising gas prices have caused financial hardship, and of those, 38 percent said “a great deal.” The remaining 30 percent said “some,” followed by 18 percent who said “not much.” Just 14 percent said rising gas prices have not affected them in that way “at all.” The survey, taken March 10-14, […]
A plurality of Americans do not believe parents should be able to provide their children, who claim to be transgender, with puberty-blocking drugs, a survey from The Economist/YouGov found. The survey asked if they supported or opposed the following: “Allowing parents to provide their transgender children or teenagers with puberty-blocking drugs, which can temporarily prevent the effects of puberty that may not align with their gender identity?” A plurality, 49 percent, said they oppose allowing it, and of those, 37 percent “strongly” oppose. Just over a quarter, 28 percent, said they support it, and 22 percent are not sure. The vast […]
Most Democrats believe an individual can be either a man or a woman regardless of his or her biological sex, a survey from The Economist/YouGov found. The survey presented respondents with two scenarios and asked the respondents to choose “which statement comes closer to your views, even if neither is exactly right?” The choices were as follows: Whether someone is a man or a woman is determined by the sex they were assigned at birth Someone can be a man or a woman even if that is different from the sex they were assigned at birth Essentially the poll asked if […]
Most voters support Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill, which protects children in kindergarten through third grade from classroom discussions on gender identity and sexual orientation, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Thursday found. The survey found that three-fourths of voters have followed news about the measure, which the left has grossly mischaracterized with the cheap, inaccurate slogan, “Don’t Say Gay,” even though the word “gay” does not appear in the bill’s text. In reality, the bill asserts that “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or […]
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday said critics of the Parental Rights in Education bill need to “get out of their bubble and actually talk to parents in the state,” as they would find out they do not want their young children exposed to classroom discussions on sexual matters. “People actually said if you don’t have classroom instruction on sexual matters in grades K-3 that businesses don’t want to come to Florida,” DeSantis said in disbelief. “I think people need to get out of their bubble and actually talk to parents in this state because they do not want this […]
Most voters are not confident in President Joe Biden’s ability to prevent the Russia/Ukraine war from spreading, a Trafalgar Group survey released Monday found.

The survey asked respondents to reveal how concerned they are by the prospect of Russia using nuclear weapons in its invasion of Ukraine. Overall, 77 percent are concerned, and of those 41 percent are “very concerned.” Just 21 percent expressed little concern, but only five percent said they are “not at all concerned.” A majority of Democrats (81 percent), Republicans (75 percent), and independents (73 percent) share that concern as well. Ukrainian soldiers and firefighters search in a destroyed building after a bombing […]
Most Americans believe leaders are suddenly lifting remaining coronavirus restrictions because of political reasons — not science — an I&I/TIPP Poll released this week found. Over the past month, blue state leaders have moved to lift the remaining restrictions in their states, removing statewide mask mandates and in some cases, unmasking school children as well. Hawaii marked the final state in the nation to announce the end of its statewide mask requirement, which ends Friday, March 25. However, Hawaii Gov. David Ige (D) made it clear that he will be “ready to reinstitute the mask policy if COVID case numbers surge.” Meanwhile, […]
President Biden did not receive a game-changing approval bounce after the State of the Union address (SOTU), as his approval rating remains underwater by double digits, a Wall Street Journal survey released Friday found. The survey, conducted by Impact Research and Fabrizio, Lee & Associates after Biden’s SOTU address, found 57 percent disapproving of Biden’s job performance, compared to 42 percent who approved — a net negative of -15 percent. WSJ said these figures come “despite favorable marks for the president’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a recent State of the Union speech, which provided him an opportunity to […]
Parents around the country are reporting instances of “mask mouth” — including staph infections and tooth decay — among their children due to forced masking, Moms for America president and founder Kimberly Fletcher told Breitbart News during an exclusive interview at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida. When asked about the issues that parents are most concerned about, Fletcher pointed to comprehensive sex education, intimidation and bullying from administrators to teachers and children, and mask mandates in schools. “We get stories from moms all over the country who are telling us that their children — ‘mask mouth’ is […]
President Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is encouraging vaccinated Americans to enroll in “v-safe,” a voluntary “after vaccine health checker” to report how they feel post-jab. “After getting your #COVID19 booster shot, be sure to use v-safe to get your personalized and confidential text message check-ins about how you feel,” Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Rachel Levine — born Robert Levine — said on Tuesday. “Learn more about v-safe and sign up if you haven’t already: http://vsafe.cdc.gov,” he added. After getting your #COVID19 booster shot, be sure to use v-safe to get your personalized and confidential text message […]

The survey asked, “Is requiring photo ID to vote a reasonable measure to protect the integrity of elections?” Overall, nearly three-quarters of likely voters say it is a reasonable measure, while 20 percent say it is not.

Throughout the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, the data has not backed extremist policies such as extended lockdowns and mass masking, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said during Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) roundtable discussion on ending “COVID theater” on Monday, where he noted the mental gymnastics the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has employed in updating its guidance. The roundtable featured Ladapo, DeSantis, and physicians nationwide, all of whom discussed the importance of ending COVID theater “once and for all.” “We’ve had a lot of people with great degrees hang their reputations on the false statement — and I say false […]
Moms for America has joined the People’s Convoy of semitruck drivers — and debuted their own pro-liberty truck — in what founder Kimberly Fletcher says is a protest against coronavirus mandates and vaccines, as well as the “draconian mentality” embraced by the left. Speaking to Breitbart News during an exclusive interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Orlando, Florida, Fletcher discussed the group’s decision to join the freedom trucker movement, the People’s Convoy, to send a “strong message of freedom.” During the four-day conference, the group launched their “big rig” — a “purple truck with a Statue of Liberty and Constitution and […]
President Joe Biden on Tuesday called on Americans to “stop seeing each other as enemies” in the context of the Chinese coronavirus, despite scolding unvaccinated Americans and warning that his patience was wearing “thin” mere months ago in an angry and divisive speech. “We have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life,” Biden said. He failed to mention that in October 2020, during a presidential debate between himself and former President Donald Trump, he sharply criticized the number of coronavirus fatalities occurring under Trump’s watch. “220,000 Americans dead. If you […]
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday asserted that President Biden’s “weakness” has bred the disorder across the globe in Ukraine and Russia, noting that both Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama were weak when it came to defending Ukraine. “My feeling is they haven’t done enough —Europe or Biden’s administration — to really hit Putin where it counts, and that’s because they have been so weak on domestic energy,” DeSantis said during a press conference on Monday, blasting Biden for stripping the United States’ status as energy independent. “So let’s get back to where we need to get to […]

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Tuesday directed the state to investigate transgender procedures on children, citing the Office of the Attorney General (OAG), which has confirmed that “a number of so-called ‘sex change’ procedures constitute child abuse under existing Texas law.” In a letter addressed to Jaime Masters, commissioner of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), Abbott affirmed that the OAG determined that many of the so-called sex-change procedures done on children “constitute child abuse,” thereby directing the agency to “conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of any reported instances of these abusive procedures in the State of Texas.” […]
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) will deliver the GOP’s response to President Biden’s State of the Union address (SOTU), Republican leaders announced on Tuesday.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday suggested that a Workers’ Bill of Rights may be necessary to alleviate workers from mask mandates continually imposed upon them by their employers. Speaking on Florida’s record-breaking domestic tourism numbers during a press conference in Fort Walton Beach, DeSantis talked about the restaurant industry in the state and the uphill battle the industry has faced throughout the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Many restaurants in other states went out of business due to extended lockdowns and restrictions, the governor said, noting that you “have to have a shot record to even be able to sit down in […]

President Joe Biden on Sunday said it is “probably premature” to remove coronavirus mask mandates, despite originally pitching “just” 100 days of masking prior to taking office. During his lengthy interview, part of which aired on Super Bowl Sunday, Biden remarked about blue state governors who recently decided to lift mask restrictions in their states, calling it “probably premature” and a “tough call” to make. “Every day that goes by, children are more protected,” Biden said, referencing vaccine availability.

The state-sanctioned school mask mandate will not extend beyond February 28, the governor announced. “Given the extremely low risk to young people, the widespread availability and the proven effectiveness of vaccines, and the distribution of accurate test protocols, and tests, it’s time to give our kids a sense of normalcy and lift the mask mandate on a statewide basis for schools,” Baker said.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on Wednesday asked for unanimous consent to call up and pass his bill to effectively end forced masking in schools, pointing to the mask hypocrisy of his Democrat colleagues and noting that “the science hasn’t changed.” “For the past two years, our nation’s kids have suffered. They’ve suffered socially, academically, and psychologically, at the hands of the Biden administration and their political bosses in the teachers’ unions,” Cotton said on the Senate floor, explaining that children have suffered perhaps the most “excessive, extreme and suffocating COVID restrictions of any population in our country.” Throughout the pandemic, Cotton […]
