Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Sunday that Democrats used the impeachment of former President Donald Trump as a tool to paint all of his supporters with the brush of Capitol breach-related criminality. Johnson told Breitbart News in an interview on Feb. 14 that the ultimate aim of impeaching Trump a second time was to associate the 75 million Americans who voted for him with those individuals who on Jan. 6 broke the law. “They really wanted to use impeachment as a vehicle because they wanted to equate all those tens of millions of Trump’s voters and all of his supporters...

A recent Gallup poll indicates that a higher percentage of Americans than ever before prefer the formation of a legitimate, national third party. In the latest survey, just 33% of Americans say they are satisfied with the current two-party system. With 5% undecided, that means an all-time record 62% want to see a viable third option. While some political experts believe the increasing polarization of Republicans and Democrats is what has led to such a dramatic surge of third-party interest, it seems former President Donald Trump's passing reference to forming his own "MAGA" party has generated a significant rise in...

For months, Gov. Gavin Newsom communicated about the COVID-19 pandemic via frequent webcasts in which he cited the latest statistics and beseeched Californians to wear masks, wash their hands and avoid crowds. In the last couple of weeks, however, Newsom has shifted venues to orchestrated outdoor events at sports arenas and other mass vaccination sites. Newsom’s change of background scenery attracts more attention from television news crews than his staid webcasts, which is probably its true purpose. It coincides with an escalating recall campaign aimed at short-circuiting Newsom’s political career and polls showing that his approval rates have taken a...

In a study designed to gather more data about how "sexual minorities" -- lesbians, gays, and bisexuals -- are affected by COVID, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that LGB persons have higher rates of health conditions associated with severe COVID illness than heterosexual persons -- conditions such as asthma, kidney disease, and cancer.

A California police officer urged his city council on Thursday to sign a petition to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom because his administration represents the culmination of years of bad policy decisions that are hurting the state. Adam Garcia, who has worked in law enforcement for nearly 20 years, cited failed policies that have made the state a "safe haven for criminals" and caused violence to skyrocket – problems that have been made worse by the pandemic and Newsom’s response to it. Garcia downplayed the idea that the recall against Newsom is being driven by partisan politics, and is instead being...

The arrival of COVID-19 has changed the way we travel. While the number one priority of airlines is the safety of its passengers and crew, COVID-19 presented airlines with a whole new set of safety-related challenges to deal with. From mandatory mask-wearing and blocking middle-seats to reduced in-flight service, new safety measures have become standard in most cases. However, one airline, Cathay Pacific, created quite a stir when it announced it will be giving its business and first-class passengers the option to remove their masks. Cathay Pacific is the fifth largest airline measured by sales, and fourteenth largest measured by...

The mayor, police chief, city clerk and a former city clerk of a small Midwest town were all arrested for allegedly abusing their power — with crimes including stealing money, falsifying records and strong-arming civilians, officials said.

For decades, discussions of “family policy” in the U.S. have been associated with the broader liberal agenda, from raising the minimum wage to universal childcare and paid leave mandates. The default conservative response has been to resort to the usual talking points: too expensive, too heavy-handed, too much of a threat to liberty.

After stealing the 2020 election for President, Joe Biden and this gang are scared to death of the American people. It’s evident for anyone who still trusts their own eyes that Joe Biden didn’t win the 2020 election for President, he stole it. The number of records President Trump attained, most votes ever for any candidate prior to the election by 6 million votes or a 10% increase over Obama’s 69 million in 2008, etc., etc., etc…
