    NEW YORK CITY, New York — Donald J. Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has sided with the sovereignty of the American people against international elites yet again by coming out in public opposition to President Barack Obama’s internet giveaway to a United Nations globalist body. Stephen Miller, Donald Trump’s chief policy adviser, said in a Wednesday statement: Donald J. Trump is committed to preserving Internet freedom for the American people and citizens all over the world. The U.S. should not turn control of the Internet over to the United Nations and the international community. President Obama intends to do...

    This morning, the Tea Party Patriots’ super PAC endorsed Donald J. Trump for president. Jenny Beth Martin, CEO of the organization, announced the news in a statement and on “Fox and Friends” Thursday morning. “On the question of whether to support Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund — the super PAC affiliated with the largest Tea Party organization in the country — has made its choice,” Martin said in her statement. “Hillary Clinton stands opposed to everything the Tea Party stands for, on the policy, political, and personal fronts. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has...

    The latest reported sexting episode from disgraced former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner allegedly involved a 15-year-old girl, and now the NYPD is reviewing the case. According to a law enforcement source, both Manhattan NYPD special victims unit and the Manhattan District Attorney office are reviewing the case since the allegations involve a defendant from New York. “Both Manhattan SVU and the DA prosecutors are reviewing the case over the allegations regarding the online messages the minor brought forth to the online publication,” the source tells Breitbart News. “A review is being done to determine if a criminal investigation is...

    Hooray, we’re number . . . 16!? The latest Index of the Economic Freedom of the World was released last week, and the United States held its ranking as the 16th freest economy (see page 8 of the report), the same ranking as last year. I suppose it could have been worse. The Economic Freedom of the World report is put together every year by a consortium of more than 70 think tanks from around the world. It rates countries on a variety of policies from the size of government and the tax and regulatory burden to the soundness of...

    <p>The United States and Russia abandoned diplomatic niceties Wednesday in a fractious public debate over Syria, blaming each other for spoiling the country’s cease-fire and offering only temporary patches to stem the bloodshed. Secretary of State John Kerry called for all warplanes to halt flights over aid routes, while Russia’s chief diplomat spoke of a possible three-day pause in fighting.</p>
  • Footnote Reveals DHS Actually Gave Citizenship To 1,800 Illegals

    The real number of people who got citizenship instead of deportation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is more than double what the media initially reported, a footnote in the report reveals. More than 1,800 people who were supposed to be deported were mistakenly granted citizenship, the footnote discovered by CNN’s Jake Tapper in the DHS Inspector General report shows. That’s more than double the 858 number initially reported by the media. The report focuses on the use of digital fingerprinting by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which may explain why the 1,800 number was buried. The IG report...

    On Tuesday Hillary Clinton canceled her campaign fundraiser in North Carolina. The campaign offered no explanation for the cancellation. Hillary Clinton canceled several events after she collapsed at Ground Zero on 9-11. The campaign said she had overheated, the flu, pneumonia. On Saturday night Hillary looked exhausted, drained while speaking with reporters on the terrorist bombing in New York City and the terrorist stabbing spree in Minnesota. Now this… A conservative leader wrote The Gateway Pundit Wednesday morning to share this news: Hearing smart guys say that Hillary may cancel the debate on Monday … Hillary may be trying to...

    WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (UPI) — A U.S. Air Force general says North Korea will soon be developing an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the United States. Gen. John Hyten, who was nominated to lead the U.S. Strategic Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday while it is impossible to give a specific timing to future provocations, North Korea could soon deliver an ICBM equipped with a nuclear warhead, South Korean newspaper Donga Ilbo reported. Hyten said he is concerned about what North Korea would do after it has mastered the ability to mount an ICBM with a...

    The Huffington Post is no longer buying the idea that Hillary Clinton will coast to victory in November — and it has already made a list of “where Democrats will point the finger if she loses” to Donald Trump. And it’s not from volunteer contributors; the byline includes Global Editorial Director Howard Fineman and editors Jason Linkins and Lauren Weber. From the Huffington Post: On the high, crenelated ramparts of Castle Clinton, a chill breeze is stirring ― a faint but gnawing sense that the White Walkers are coming, wearing “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” baseball caps on their skinless noggins....

    The neighbors gathered in Hurricane Sandy’s drizzly aftermath, surveying the damage: tree limbs crushing the roof of a car, telephone poles snapped in half, power lines strewn across the street. It was, for all the unpleasant circumstances, a nice communal moment. It made me think, oddly enough, about what it is that bothers me about early voting.More precisely, it reminded me about what I like about Election Day — the neighborly lines at the local elementary school, the sense of common purpose, the we’re-all-in-this-together ritual of the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. I like wearing my corny...

    STRUTHERS, OHIO — On a recent Saturday, standing in her driveway, Halle Minchin Skook could not fathom why her neighbor was pissing on Youngstown’s Democratic tradition and voting for Donald Trump this election cycle. “He literally pees out his window,” Skook said, gesturing toward the house next door on Como Street, occupied by a Trump backer. The 26-year-old special education teacher at Struthers Middle School didn’t even want to mow the strip of grass between her home and that of her neighbor. “The stench of urine on the grass is awful,” her mother piped in. Standing in the driveway outside...

    A decision about whether McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna will be disqualified from prosecuting Twin Peaks biker cases likely will be delayed because Reyna refuses to answer questions about who is picking up his legal tab for civil lawsuits. Attorneys for two bikers indicted in the May 17, 2015, shootout between rival groups filed a motion Tuesday asking 54th State District Judge Matt Johnson to compel Reyna to answer the questions or to hold another hearing to resolve the dispute. Johnson ordered the parties to get together after a hearing in August to work through questions that Reyna would...
