Wade, his department has seen a “really heightened” threat environment.

Drag performances can be a “good thing” to expose children to, according to a recent Salon piece that insists that “drag is for everyone” while claiming young children can be “mature enough” to handle the “language and sexual innuendo.” The Thursday essay — titled “Drag is not dangerous: How exposing your kids to drag performance can be a good thing” and penned by writer Heidi Klaassen — begins by noting the current popularity of drag queens and the criticisms leveled at parents who bring children to “family-friendly drag shows perceived to be inappropriate for children.” However, the author insists that “the art […]
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says he is pleased the Supreme Court issued a ruling allowing the agency to discontinue the Trump-era “Remain in Mexico” policy. Mayorkas says the Migrant Protection Protocols requiring migrants to remain in Mexico as their asylum claims are processed has “endemic flaws, and it has unjustifiable human costs.” Mayorkas made the remarks celebrating the end of the policy on CBS Face the Nation early Sunday saying, “We were very pleased with the Supreme Court’s decision supporting our termination of the ‘remain in Mexico’ program that the prior administration implemented. I have said from the […]
President Joe Biden’s border with Mexico is the deadliest land crossing in the world, according to a United Nations group, the International Organization for Migration. “More than 1,238 lives have been lost during migration in the [north, central and south] Americas in 2021, among them at least 51 children,” said the group’s July 1 report. “At least 728 of these deaths occurred on the United States-Mexico border crossing, making this the deadliest land crossing in the world,” said the IOM statement, which added: “The number of deaths on the United States-Mexico border last year is significantly higher than in any year prior, even […]

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) on Sunday reacted to the push from Democrats to end the Senate filibuster and pack the Supreme Court in response to the court’s recent rulings. Lee suggested in an interview on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that Democrats “hate the democratic process itself,” which is why they want to expand the court. “[T]his begs the question — why do they hate democracy? Why do they hate allowing people to elect their own representatives to make laws? That’s really what we’re dealing with here,” Lee explained. “All they’re saying is Congress has the power if it wants […]
A viral video shows Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) being booed off stage at a concert for Somalians in her home state of Minnesota. Hosted by Somali singer Soldaan Seraar, the concert went off the rails on Saturday night when the controversial congresswoman came out on stage and the audience greeted her with a chorus of boos and angry chants.

Sunday on MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation,” Democratic strategist James Carville sounded the alarm over the upcoming midterm elections. After sharing how “petrified” and “mortified” he was heading into the midterms, Carville said that “if this country does not have a voter intervention,” then he was “not optimistic about its future.” “I am not a voice of calm. I’m petrified,” Carville told host Al Sharpton. “And I will echo what my friend Congressman Clyburn said — if this country does not have voter intervention, I am not optimistic about its future.” “And if people, and particularly young people, if they care any about this country […]

Danish police confirmed multiple people were shot at the mall and that “several” have been killed, Breitbart News reported. Police inspector Søren Thomassen said, “We know that there are several dead…[and] several injured,” according to the Associated Press. The University of Sydney’s GunPolicy.org categorizes Denmark’s gun control as “restrictive,” and they note that “the right to gun ownership is not guaranteed by law.” An ambulance and armed police outside the Field’s shopping center, […]
President Joe Biden’s job approval rating is down to the lowest of his presidency, 30 percent, and 57 percent disapproval roughly 18 months into his presidency, according to the CIVIQS rolling job-approval average as of July 2.

UFC Champion Israel Adesanya is calling for authorities to release the names of the elites linked to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein’s decades of sexually abusing young girls. There are reports that Maxwell had a list of the people for whom Epstein allegedly obtained women for sexual encounters and many expect the list will include the names of famous Hollywood elites as well as business giants and politicians. But this list has never been made public by prosecutors. During his comments on July 2 ahead of his UFC 276 win over opponent Jared Cannonier, Adesanya went off on a tangent demanding […]
New York Democrats are pushing legislation to require the social media accounts of concealed carry applicants to be scanned before a carry permit is issued. The push is part of the New York Democrats’ reaction to the June 23, 2022, SCOTUS ruling striking the state’s proper cause requirement for concealed carry issuance. The proper cause requirement forced law-abiding New Yorkers to prove they needed to carry a gun in order to receive their permit. On Friday, the Associated Press reported that New York Democrats are now pushing legislation “that would require people applying for a handgun license to turn over a […]
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that it would be “far more dangerous” for the Department of Justice not to investigate and potentially prosecute former President Donald Trump. Partial transcript as follows: BRENNAN: I want to also ask you, the vice-chair of the committee, Liz Cheney, said not prosecuting former President Trump over the attack on the Capitol would be a much graver constitutional threat to the country than the political difficulties involved with bringing charges. She said this in an ABC interview. She also said there are possible criminal referrals, not just one, but multiple. […]
Danish police have confirmed several people have been shot amid an ongoing incident at a shopping mall in Copenhagen. Police in the Scandinavian country advised people to stay away from the Fields shopping mall or shelter in place on social media, before further advising that one person has been arrested in connection with the incident and declaring that law enforcement has a “massive” presence in the area. Details of the shootings are scanty at present, with police claiming they “currently do not have the opportunity to tell more about the person’s identity.” Copenhagen Police advising everyone to stay away from the […]
During an appearance on Sunday’s broadcast of ABC’s “This Week,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas downplayed what has been panned as a lackluster effort by the Biden administration at the U.S.-Mexico border. Mayorkas told anchor Martha Raddatz he thought the Biden administration was doing a “good job.” RADDATZ: What is the plan on the border? You really do have migrants flooding that area. The peak was during the Trump administration, May of 2019, at 144,000 crossings. In May of this year, you hit 240,000 crossings. You may be telling people to stay away, but they keep coming. MAYORKAS: I […]
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Russia’s defence minister said Russian forces took control Sunday of the last major Ukrainian-held city in Ukraine’s Luhansk province, bringing Moscow closer to its stated goal of seizing all of Ukraine’s Donbas region. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin that Russia’s troops together with members of a local separatist militia “have established full control over the city of Lysychansk,” a ministry statement said. Taking Lysychansk constitutes “the liberation of the Luhansk People’s Republic,” one of two separatist regions in Ukraine that Russia recognizes as sovereign, the statement said. Ukrainian fighters spent weeks trying to defend […]
Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 riot could be giving the Justice Department “more than one” criminal referral. Anchor Jon Karl asked, “You’ve been clear since really January 6 itself that he bears responsibility, have these hearings demonstrated that Donald Trump needs to be prosecuted?” Cheney said, “Ultimately, the Justice Department will decide that. I think we may well, as a committee, have a view on that. And if you just think about it from the perspective of what kind of man knows that the mob is armed […]
Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that former President Donald Trump can never be near the Oval Office again. Anchor Jon Karl asked, “You’ve been clear since really January 6th itself that he bears responsibility, have these hearings demonstrated that Donald Trump needs to be prosecuted?” Cheney said, “Ultimately, the Justice Department will decide that. I think we may well, as a committee, have a view on that. And if you just think about it from the perspective of what kind of man knows that the mob is armed and sends the mob to attack the Capitol […]
We now have a perfect dollar-to-dollar comparison to prove how much Americans hate Hollywood’s fascist woketardery. Over three days, Minions: The Rise of Gru — the fifth title in the Despicable Me franchise and a prequel — is expected to gross $109.5 million. Over three weeks, Lightyear — the fifth title in the Toy Story franchise and a prequel — has grossed just $106.7 million. So, in three days, Minions will have grossed more than Lightyear has in three weeks. So what’s the difference between the two? Well, Minions (which will make a fortune) cost $85 million to produce. Lightyear (which […]
Four Swedish political parties have announced their support for a change to the country’s constitution that would guarantee women the right to have abortions. The Liberals, Centre Party, Greens, and the centre-right Moderates have all come out in support of change to enshrine the right of a woman to get an abortion in the country’s constitution. Ulf Kristersson, leader of the Moderates, explained his support for the proposal by telling the newspaper Aftonbladet: “Basically, we agree with what the Liberals have also demanded and which is actually quite a natural consequence of other free rights in Sweden that are constitutional. It is […]
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria,” Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) reacted to President Joe Biden’s declaration that gas prices will remain high for “as long as it takes” to stop Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by stating that the administration hasn’t given any sort of a plan for how to end the invasion. Garbarino stated, “I don’t think there is a plan. I don’t think the administration has a plan. We — it hasn’t been shared with us in Congress, and there should be — those discussions should be happening, but they’re not. But I love the […]
A 2024 Republican presidential primary poll shows former President Donald J. Trump holding a colossal 40-point lead over the rest of the potential field if he decides to run. The Harvard CAPS-Harris poll, obtained by the Hill, reveals that Trump drew 56 percent of respondents’ support, while 16 percent chose Gov. Ron Desantis (R-FL), making him the second leading candidate. Former Vice President Mike Pence garnered seven percent of the response if Trump were to run. Trump has repeatedly teased and hinted at a 2024 bid since December 2020, including at CPAC earlier this year and a Georgia rally in March. […]

The source said the increase in apprehensions is forcing the agency to […]
Friday, FNC host Greg Gutfeld responded to long-running “Friends” sitcom co-creator Marta Kauffman lamenting not casting a black character on the show. Gutfeld mocked Kauffman and argued casting shows based on race rarely works. Partial transcript as follows: The white guilt never ends.

Uvalde school district Police Chief Pete Arredondo resigned from his newly elected seat on the City Council. The chief is blamed by Texas Department of Public Safety officials for delays in responding to the Robb Elementary School Shooting on May 24. Just weeks before the school shooting that left 21 people dead, voters in Uvalde elected Arredondo to a seat on the City Council, the Uvalde Leader-News reported. In the days that followed the shooting, officials delayed the swearing-in ceremony. “After much consideration, I regret to inform those who voted for me that I have decided to step down as a member […]
Democrats in Pima County, Arizona, scrubbed a social media post advertising an event called “Fuck the Fourth” after taking heat for the move. The event that was to be hosted by the Tucson Women’s March was advertised by the Pima County Democratic Party, Fox News reported Friday. Juan Ciscomani, a Republican running for the United States Congress, shared a screenshot of the party’s tweet, writing, “THIS is who is supporting our opponents.” “These are the crowds they run in. THIS is what we are up against. I love this country and THIS is why we need to win in November,” he […]
ROME (AP) — Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose $44 billion bid to buy Twitter remains in limbo, used the social media platform to announce he had met with Pope Francis. “Honored to meet @Pontifex yesterday,” Musk tweeted of the Friday afternoon audience, alongside a photo showing Musk, Francis and four of Musk’s teenage children.

When I last checked in on the Main Stream Media and Joe Biden, the MSM was happily running interference for him, denying, for example, that the 46th president was anything like the 39th president, that disastrous Democratic one-termer Jimmy Carter. However, as Biden’s approval rating keeps falling–even as inflation keeps rising–the MSM is giving up on its man, conceding that yeah, he is a lot like Carter. Yet now there’s another parallel looming: between Biden and the 44th president, Barack Obama. But first, let’s catch up with Biden=Carter. The 46th and the 39th Here’s a story in the June 5 Politico, informing […]
U.S. Supreme Court Marshal Gail A. Curley has penned letters to Maryland authorities, including Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD), imploring them to “enforce laws that prohibit picketing outside of the homes of Supreme Court Justices who live” in the state, per copies of the letters tweeted by Fox News host Shannon Bream. In her Friday letter to Hogan, obtained by Fox News, the marshal cites state and county laws that make picketing outside of the justices’ homes illegal. She first references Maryland Criminal Code Law § 3-904 (c), which states that “[a] person may not intentionally assemble with another in a manner that […]
The Texas Supreme Court reversed a lower court on Friday evening and allowed a pre-Roe 1925 law prohibiting abortions to go into effect. The state supreme court’s order is the latest addition in an ongoing feud between Texas government officials and abortion providers following the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Although the 1925 law prohibiting abortions was not enforced after Roe was decided in 1973, the law remained on the books. A Harris County judge temporarily blocked the abortion ban after abortion clinics sued. The abortion clinics argued the law was effectively repealed when the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade, but the […]
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Senior Adviser to President Joe Biden Gene Sperling stated Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is “a star” in the Cabinet that they have “enormous confidence in” based on his accomplishments of doing “an enormous amount to get funds out” from the infrastructure bill and getting “funds out to aviation manufacturing that was part of the American Rescue Plan that has strengthened supply chains across the board.” Sperling stated, “We have enormous confidence in Secretary Buttigieg. He is a star in this Cabinet.” Host Martha MacCallum then cut in to ask, “What is […]
On Friday’s broadcast of “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued that the 2022 midterm elections are ultimately going to be about the state of the economy and not abortion. Brooks stated that the lasting electoral impact of the court’s ruling and the subsequent debate on abortion will be “Limited. I mean, it’ll mobilize some voters clearly in some places.” He added, “My feel is, the election’s going to be about inflation, about the economy. 83% of the country thinks the economy’s in bad shape. That’s an unprecedented number. And so, that’s just, I think, going to be the dominant issue. […]
Megan Rapinoe, anthem kneeler and outspoken advocate of almost every left-wing cause, is set to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Joe Biden. The announcement came Friday that Rapinoe, a captain on the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT), and 16 others had been selected to receive the nation’s highest civilian honor. While the USWNT has reigned as one of the top women’s teams in the world during Rapinoe’s time on the roster, the decision to award her with such an honor most likely stems from Rapinoe’s relentless advocacy of liberal causes. Most recently, the USWNT vet made waves by blasting […]

The establishment media this week aired grievances against President Joe Biden, marking his failed leadership on a variety of issues throughout his tenure. As Biden’s polling numbers tanked to the lowest level of his presidency on Saturday (31 percent approval), Politico Playbook headlined on Saturday that Democrats have “growing doubts” about Biden running in 2024. “Whether the specific issue is abortion rights, court reform, voting rights, the filibuster, or the DOJ’s investigation into DONALD TRUMP’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election, ‘[m]any Democrats share a sense that … Biden and his team have been following, not leading,’” Playbook wrote, quoting an Atlantic article […]
Seven in ten American voters say they do not want President Joe Biden to run for reelection in 2024, a recent survey from Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll found. The poll, which was shared with the Hill, revealed that 71 percent of voters do not want the president to run for a second term, whereas 29 percent believe he should. The poll also found that only 30 percent of Democrats are willing to vote for the president in a Democrat presidential primary for 2024, according to Mark Penn, the co-director of the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey. Among the reasons why respondents think Biden should not run […]
During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Wall Street Week,” Harvard Professor, economist, Director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton Larry Summers stated that the risk of a recession this year “are significantly higher than I would have judged six or nine weeks ago.” Summers said, “I think you have to say that whatever you thought about recession risks a month ago, the recession risks through the year 2022 have to have gone up in a quite material way. I felt for a long time, as you know, David, […]
During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Wall Street Week,” Harvard Professor, economist, Director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton Larry Summers said that he believes there is “probably close to a 50-50 chance, maybe it’s a bit less than that,” that the GDP growth in the second quarter of 2022, which ended Thursday, will be negative and the economy will post a second straight quarter of GDP growth, which would mean that, under some definitions of a recession, the U.S. economy is in a recession. Summers stated, “Look, […]

One-third of Americans have changed their Fourth of July plans due to high gas prices, an Emerson College Poll released Friday found. The survey, taken June 28-29 among 1,271 registered voters, found that 33 percent have actively changed their travel plans this holiday weekend due to consistently high gas prices. “Regarding airfare, 18% have changed plans because of issues with plane travel,” the survey found.

On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends First,” Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) reacted to the Supreme Court’s rulings on EPA authority and the Biden administration’s quest to Remain in Mexico policy by stating that Congress has given far too much power to the executive branch and unelected bureaucrats and “We need to enumerate exactly what we want on immigration” by making Remain in Mexico the law. Gimenez stated, [relevant remarks begin around 2:40] “Congress has not done a good job in establishing exactly what it wants and it gives way too much power and delegates way too […]
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Russian forces are pounding the city of Lysychansk and its surroundings in an all-out attempt to seize the last stronghold of resistance in eastern Ukraine’s Luhansk province, the governor said Saturday. Ukrainian fighters have spent weeks trying to defend the city and to keep it from falling to Russia, as neighbouring Sievierodonetsk did a week ago. The Russian Defence Ministry said its forces took control of an oil refinery on Lysychansk’s edge in recent days, but Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai reported Friday that fighting for the facility continued. “Over the last day, the occupiers opened fire from […]
Illegal migrant crossings of the English Channel have hit their highest monthly total for the year as people-smuggling efforts ramped up during the warmer weather. A total of 3,136 illegal migrants in 76 boats landed on British shores in the month of June, the highest total for a month so far this year, according to analysis from the PA News Agency as reported by ITV News. June’s crossings take the known total for the year to 12,690, more than five times the number that had crossed at this point of the year in 2020 (2,493) and over double that recorded in […]
NICE, France (AP) – Tourism is booming again in France – and so is COVID-19. French officials have “invited” or “recommended” people to go back to using face masks but stopped short of renewing restrictions that would scare visitors away or revive anti-government protests. From Paris commuters to tourists on the French Riviera, many people seem to welcome the government’s light touch, while some worry that required prevention measures may be needed. Virus-related hospitalizations rose quickly in France over the past two weeks, with nearly 1,000 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized per day, according to government data. Infections are also rising across […]
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Senior Adviser to President Joe Biden Gene Sperling stated that the Biden administration’s plan to allow some more drilling on federal land is “not at all” an admission that previous blocking of drilling leases was a mistake. Host Martha MacCallum asked, [relevant remarks begin around 3:40] “The oil industry has made it clear that they feel like the administration has basically condemned their industry and doesn’t want them to grow, wants them to shrink over time. … I could put up a whole litany of soundbites that back that up. But […]
Indonesian President Joko Widodo, commonly known by the nickname “Jokowi,” said on Friday after meeting with the leaders of Ukraine and Russia that the situation between them is “still very difficult.” Jokowi met with Ukrainian President Zelensky in Kyiv on Wednesday, then traveled to Moscow for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday. Jokowi was the first Asian leader to try acting as an intermediary since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, and since Indonesia will host the annual G20 summit in November, he seemed well-positioned to make the attempt. Putin has been shunned from many international gatherings since he […]
The board of Ben and Jerry’s brand ice cream had decided not to renew a license with American Quality Products (AQP), which sells the product in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, when it expires at the end of 2022. But the ice cream’s parent company, Unilever, reported it has sold the Israeli arm of the company to Avi Zinger, who owns AQP. So the boycott of those parts of Israel is essentially gone and the product will once again reach consumers in that part of the country. The Guardian reported on the distribution of the product, which does not use […]
A price transparency rule for American consumers to more easily view what health care services will cost takes effect today after having been imposed by former President Trump. In October 2020, Trump finalized a rule that requires health insurers and self-insured plans to disclose their prices and cost-sharing information for consumers to view. The rule is set to give 200 million Americans insured by private healthcare providers access to real-time pricing information and costs. “Donald Trump really does deserve credit for this anti-monopoly rule on price transparency for insurers, hospitals, doctors, et al,” said Matt Stoller who writes an anti-monopoly newsletter […]
Back when Jesse James prowled the land, the savings of the citizenry was constantly under threat by bandits looking to heist their money. These days, the money itself is stealing the savings of people in the form of high inflation and crashing financial markets. Yesterday, we pointed out that the first half of the year was the worst for stocks since 1970. The S&P 500 dropped by around 20 percent, just shy of the 1970 bear market record of 21 percent. The Nasdaq Composite was down by 29.5 percent, the worst decline ever. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 15.3 percent, […]
A Raaumessen Reports poll reveals that a generic Republican candidate holds the same 5-point lead over a generic Democrat candidate as the week before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The poll, published Friday, shows that 47 percent of respondents would cast a ballot for a Republican candidate if the midterm elections were held when they were surveyed. Conversely, 42 percent of those surveyed would back a Democrat.

John Kasich (R-OH) said Friday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that the hearings by the House Select Committee investigating January 6, 2021 are causing former President Donald Trump to melt like the Wicked Witch of the West.

I said he reminds me of the Wicked Witch of the West. When they threw a bucket of water on her, she started melting. He is losing influence, and people beginning to say […]

On Friday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Eric Bolling The Balance,” New York gubernatorial candidate and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) contrasted New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) declaration that she doesn’t “need to have numbers” to justify gun control proposals with her hesitation to repeal cashless bail due to a lack of data to justify repealing cashless bail.

I don’t need to — I don’t have to have a data point […]

A jury found a vegan mother guilty of murder for the death of her malnourished 18-month-old son after she fed him only raw vegetables, fruits, and breastmilk. Shelia O’Leary, a 39-year-old Florida mother, could be sentenced to life in prison after the week-long trial concluded on Tuesday.

As passengers are experiencing delays and canceled flights more than usual over the Fourth of July, an Axios report revealed that airlines knew ahead of time there would be problems. Axios’s Joann Muller reported that Delta Air Lines knew it would face “operational challenges” over the Fourth of July holiday weekend when millions of people travel. However, the airline attempted to get ahead of a potential problem by allowing customers to change their plans with free rebooking, normally at a fee as high as $200 a ticket. Delta’s systemwide travel waiver allows customers the opportunity to “rebook their trip to before or after potentially challenging weekend travel days – […]
The housing market is showing signs of softness after the pandemic-era boom. Spending on construction fell 0.8 percent in May, the Commerce Department reported Friday. This was the first decline since September 2021. Economists had forecast a 0.5 percent increase. Over the past year, construction spending is up 9.7 percent. Total private sector construction was flat. Private residential construction rose 0.2 percent, while private nonresidential spending fell 0.4 percent. Most strikingly, spending on new single-family construction—where the real estate boom has been most extreme—was flat for the month. These figures are not adjusted for inflation. On an inflation-adjusted basis, the declines […]

Former President Trump’s lead on President Joe Biden increased over the last month, an Emerson College Polling survey released Friday found. Biden’s approval rating is underwater, down 13 percent as 40 percent approve and 53 percent disapprove of his job performance. However, that reflects a two-point uptick in approval since last month.

According to the survey, 44 percent choose Trump in a hypothetical 2024 presidential matchup, compared to 39 percent who said the same for Biden. Another 12 percent indicated they would vote for […]
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday she will endorse President Joe Biden if he runs for the White House in 2024. “I would endorse our sitting president, yes, of course,” Clinton told NBC News reporter Yamiche Alcindor, according to the Hill. “I mean, this is a silly question,” the longtime Democrat then quipped. “Let’s go with the person most likely to win.

Wyoming Republican primary congressional candidate Harriet Hageman on Thursday night’s debate stage slammed opponent Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) for miscalculating who is a threat to the nation’s liberty. While Cheney, a critic of Trump and his policies, said the former president has endangered the nation, Hageman responded, “Our republic is not in danger because of President Donald J. Trump,” but from other sources, including Hunter and Joe Biden and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. “President Trump was an excellent president for the United States of America and especially for the state of Wyoming,” Hageman said on the debate stage in Wyoming. “The […]

A new allegation has emerged against actor Ezra Miller from a former friend who claims he harassed her in Germany. Meanwhile the woman whom Miller was filmed choking at a bar in Iceland has publicly spoken out for the first time. The allegations against The Flash star were profiled in an article for Variety on Thursday, (which is at times difficult to read due to the publication’s insistence on using Miller’s preferred “they/them” pronouns to respect his “non-binary” identity). The incident in Germany allegedly occurred in February of this year when Miller was visiting with his friend, identified only as Nadia, who […]
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. […]
On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) reacted to the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing the Biden administration to remove the Migration Protection Protocols (MPP), which are also known as the Remain in Mexico policy by stating that people who are claiming asylum should stay in Mexico while their claims are adjudicated as long as they can have an attorney present their case and they can stay in Mexico safely, and not doing so means giving most people false hope by allowing them to enter the United States when only “10-12% are going to be […]

The bill “explicitly clarif[ies] that it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of…gender identity or sex characteristics in public accommodations and services on religious […]
Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei has not spoken to U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris since January and says “greater communication” is needed between Guatemala and the United States to address the countries’ ongoing migration crisis. Giammattei told Breitbart News during a wide-ranging interview in Washington, DC, on Tuesday that the last communication he had with Harris — a phone call in January — was not focused on migration. “She told me she didn’t want me to appoint my attorney general. We didn’t talk about human trafficking. That was the only time that I spoke to her since she went to Guatemala, and […]
A majority of Hispanic voters support former President Donald Trump’s Title 42 immigration policy that makes it easier for the federal government to deport border crossers and illegal aliens, according to an Axios-Ipsos poll released Thursday. Axios found that 51 percent of Hispanic Americans support keeping Title 42 in place. On the other hand, just 44 percent are opposed to the policy. “I think because it’s a COVID mitigation thing, we do see sort of higher support for it, than if it were just sort of a pure immigration concern,” Ipsos pollster and senior vice president Chris Jackson told Axios. Jackson was reportedly “surprised” that […]
The union representing immigration judges working for the federal government is speaking out against the firing of at least five judges who were appointed by former President Donald Trump. As Breitbart News reported, some of those dismissed judges have said they believe the firings are political and that the Biden administration wants sitting judges who are pro-amnesty. The union wrote a letter to the Biden administration and said it is concerned about transparency and about what judges were told about why they were terminated. Most of the judges were let go at the end of a two-year probation period when they […]

Caraveo, who is running in Colorado’s Eighth Congressional District as a Democrat, is a part of a practice at Peak Pediatrics, Fox News first reported. On Peak Pediatrics’ website, there is a “Speaking on Race & Racism with Kids” section under its “resources” tab, which shows different organizations and websites in addition to a town hall on “racism” held by CNN and Sesame Street. One of the organizations also being promoted under the section is EmbraceRace, which is described as fighting “systemic racism by supporting parents to […]
Installation of abortion clinics on federal lands would “guarantee” Democrats lose the presidency, Marjorie Jones Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, said on Thursday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with host Alex Marlow. Breitbart News reported on the Biden administration’s stated consideration of constructing abortion clinics on federal lands in response to the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe. v. Wade. The administration regularly describes the termination of pregnancies as “women’s reproductive healthcare.” “It just ramps up the outrage,” Dannenfelser said of the White House’s tentative proposal. “That’ll motivate our base a lot, and they will not accomplish that. […]
Firearms Policy Coalition, a gun rights group, sent a letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James and New York City Mayor Eric Adams over their attempt to “use an over-broad New York regulatory scheme” along with a “tortured and incorrect reading of federal law” so they can “unconstitutionally and immorally steal the profits and livelihoods of individuals across this nation.” “Your respective related lawsuits directed against ten private purveyors of lawful products have come to our attention,” FPC’s policy counsel Matthew Larosiere wrote, referring to People of the State of New York v. Arm or Ally, LLC, et al. and City of New […]
Thursday, during an appearance on CNN’s “Newsroom,” National Economic Council Director Brian Deese defended President Joe Biden’s remarks earlier in the day, claiming Americans may have to deal with higher prices as the world grapples with an aggressive Russian President Vladimir Putin setting his sights on Ukraine. Deese called Biden’s remarks a claim about what was at stake, which he called the “future of the liberal world order.” “What you heard from the president today was about the stakes,” he said. “This is about the future of the liberal world order, and we have to stand firm. But at the same time, […]
New Mexico Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, the chairwoman of the national Democrat gubernatorial group the Democrat Governors Association (DGA) and a vulnerable Democrat up for reelection this year, is singing two different tunes when it comes to radical late-term abortions in her state, depending on the audience. On CNN this week after she signed an executive order promoting abortion in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, Lujan Grisham told host Jake Tapper that in her New Mexico “there are no restrictions” on abortion: Given that we interpret, and I agree that the pre-this new Supreme […]
Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports” that the Supreme Court ruling against an Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ability to regulate power plant emissions has put the “entire planet is in jeopardy.” Markey said, “Well, this is a historic evisceration of the authority of the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. Our country and the planet is right now suffering from a four-alarm fire. The planet is running a fever. There are no emergency planets. We have to put it into — we have to put it into preventative care. And what the Supreme Court said today is that […]
President Joe Biden refused Thursday to ask Saudi Arabia to produce more oil to bring down the cost of gasoline in the United States and around the world. Biden was specifically asked during his press conference in Europe about what he would say to Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud or Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about oil during their scheduled meeting in July. “No, I’m not going to ask them,” he said, noting that he already “indicated” to all the Gulf heads of state his desire for them to produce more oil. “I hope we see them, in their own […]
The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled that President Joe Biden’s administration can end the Migration Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly known as the “Remain in Mexico” program, but is sending a key part of the case back to a lower court. In a 5-4 decision, SCOTUS ruled that the Biden administration did not violate the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) when it sought to end the Remain in Mexico program, which was first imposed by former President Trump’s administration. The Remain in Mexico program allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to quickly return border crossers to Mexico while […]
Salmonella has been detected in the world’s largest chocolate factory run by Barry Callebaut in Belgium, but the majority of the products affected remained on site.

Pulitzer-winning writer and reporter Glenn Greenwald castigated the state of modern journalism in a tweet thread yesterday, arguing that the progressive ideological echo-chamber that currently governs the industry is responsible for the repeated spread of untrue stories like Russiagate and Cassidy Hutchinson’s now-infamous claim that Donald Trump grabbed the steering wheel of a presidential limo. “As any lawyer will tell you (if being honest), few things are less reliable than a proceeding with no adversarial component. These hearings have zero,” Greenwald said of the increasingly farcical of the January 6th committee. “One can assign whatever blame one wants for that, but […]
Substack, the subscription newsletter platform loathed by corporate media companies, is laying off staff amid the economic downturn, the New York Times reports. According to the Times, the platform aimed to raise venture capital to cover its costs, but had to drop the plan after the market for funding cooled amid the widening economic turbulence of the Biden era.

He said […]

We’re all angry. And let’s remember why: it starts with the seat of the president of the United States. He has wronged this nation’s glory. He has taken down our morals, our true gift of the land of the free. He must be impeached,” he said. “We cannot wait another second […]
New York Democrats, still seeking to constrain concealed carry as much possible in the wake of the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) striking down the New York proper cause requirement, are finalizing legislation to bar concealed carry in all businesses, save those which explicitly invite concealed carry on their premises. The Associated Press reports that Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and Democrat legislators are pushing a piece of legislation to ban concealed carry in New York businesses. The exception would be businesses that post signs explicitly stating, “Concealed Weapons Welcome Here.” Hochul commented on the push saying, “We’re going to protect the rights of […]
President Joe Biden made a pointed effort Thursday to criticize two branches of the American government during his trip to Europe. The president first voiced his frustration with the Supreme Court during his press conference in Spain, scolding them for their “outrageous behavior” by overturning Roe v. Wade and ruling in support of the Second Amendment. He described the Supreme Court as “destabilizing” to the global order. “We’ve been a leader in the world in terms of personal rights and privacy rights and it is a mistake in my view for the Supreme Court to do what it did,” he said. […]
Gun rights groups, together with five private citizens, are seeking a preliminary injunction against New York City’s proper cause requirement for concealed carry issuance in the wake of the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling against a similar policy at the New York state level. On June 23 Breitbart News reported that SCOTUS ruled against the state-level statute in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA) v. Bruen. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the majority opinion, in which he observed, “We too agree, and now hold, consistent with Heller and McDonald, that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside […]
