BEDMINSTER, New Jersey — Former President Donald Trump, the leading 2024 GOP presidential candidate, told Breitbart News that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is a “loser.”Trump made the comments about Romney, who carpet-bagged his way into a U.S. Senate seat from Utah after he lost the 2012 presidential election after his governorship in the northeastern Bay State, Massachusetts, during a nearly hour-long exclusive on-camera interview last week at his golf club here.“Mitt’s a loser. He’s been a loser for a long time,” Trump said when asked to respond to Romney’s recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in which the...

IDF officers directed harsh criticism at a civics lesson with Reserve Major Professor Yishai Bar, which is required for those hoping to advance in rank. The officers claim Professor Bar spoke against the government's judicial reform plan and religious education.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Friday it needed actions, not promises, from the United States to meet the conditions it has set for a return to the Black Sea grain deal.Russia last month declined to renew the deal that had allowed Ukraine to ship grain from its Black Sea ports despite the war, saying not enough had been done to remove obstacles to its own exports of food and fertiliser. It said it was ready to return to the agreement as soon as those issues were addressed."If they want to contribute to fulfilling the part of the grain deal...

With the transcript of Devon Archer’s testimony released, New York Rep. Dan Goldman stands exposed as shamelessly deceptive in his claims that Archer’s account mainly cleared President Joe Biden of any wrongdoing in connection to son Hunter’s lucrative influence-peddling. Among the revelations: Between meetings and phone calls, then-Veep Joe chatted repeatedly — 20 times, to Archer’s knowledge — with Hunter and his overseas clients, usually for periods longer than the cup-of-coffee or just-a-handshake that Joe’s defenders have claimed. Notably, Archer debunked the pro-Biden lie that Joe barely stopped by an April 2015 dinner with a pack of Hunter clients. Goldman...

Monark, "Brazil's Joe Rogan," is now being criminally investigated and fined ~$75,000 for online conduct—fully silencing the once mega-popular podcaster without any due process. This is what's coming for everyone. The West is using Brazil as its censorship laboratory, learning how to implement and escalate their totalitarian assault on free expression.

Less than one day after being arraigned on charges of trying to subvert the 2020 presidential race, former President Donald Trump on Friday called for the U.S. Supreme Court to step into the 2024 contest. Trump, the top contender in the Republican presidential primary, claimed that dealing with numerous ongoing legal battles amounts to “election interference” — the very thing he is accused of conspiring to do in his latest indictment. “My political opponent has hit me with a barrage of weak lawsuits, including D.A., A.G., and others, which require massive amounts of my time & money to adjudicate,” Trump...

Florida State University criminology professor Eric Stewart was a guru of the claim that “systemic racism” infests America’s police and American society. Now he’s out of a job on account of “extreme negligence” in his research. The academic was fired after almost 20 years of his data — including figures used in an explosive study, which claimed the legacy of lynchings made whites perceive blacks as criminals, and that the problem was worse among conservatives — were found to be in question. College authorities said he was being fired for “incompetence” and “false results.”

The Florida Python Challenge draws in hundreds of participants each year from as far away as Canada, Belgium and Latvia who are charmed by the prospect of fame and fortune, including up to $30,000 (£23,600) in prize money. Recent Python Challenge winners include a deaf science teacher who bagged a nearly 16ft snake with his bare hands, a father-and-son duo who rapidly despatched 41 snakes and a 19-year-old who said he would use his $10,000 prize to buy better snake-spotting lights for his truck. ..."Once it slithered out in the road, I got to see the massive size of this...

If it is DOJ policy that all trials against a candidate must be suspended at least 60 days BEFORE an election won't that mean the Trump trials MUST be halted this NOVEMBER since the first primary ELECTIONS are in January 2024? And they must remain halted until the primary elections are OVER.Yeah, I get that the current CORRUPT DOJ won't abide by this general rule because of... Trump but that is the RULE. This looks like a matter for the Supreme Court to decide. To me all these indictments of Trump are obviously ELECTION INTERFERENCE and the Supreme Court should...

How can a thinking person thrive in Taliban-terrorized Afghanistan? The short answer is he – or she – can’t. The country is now run by simple-minded Muslim fanatics, and they are determined to transform the country’s universities into academies of ignorance, appointing those just as troglodytic as themselves, the graduates of madrasas, to head the country’s remaining institutions of higher education. More on this latest demonstration of the terror group’s determination to destroy what life of the mind still exists in Afghanistan can be found here: “Afghan Professors Say Taliban-Appointed Clerics Taking University Jobs,” Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, July 19,...

Why do conservative media feel the need to kowtow to the Democrat Party's biased and partisan (not to mention self-serving and … hateful) rhetoric? Have the many troubling events of election night already been forgotten? Once and for all, fellow journalists and fellow citizens, conservative and liberal alike (although I hardly expect the latter to follow this piece of — friendly — advice), stop saying "Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election" and stop referring to "the election that Trump lost", to "Trump's defeat", to "Trump tried to change the results", and to "false claims". The way that even conservative...

Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein's daughter, Katherine, a former San Francisco judge, has a power-of-attorney agreement that grants her at least some say over the senator's affairs. Last month, the younger Feinstein, now a San Francisco fire commissioner, filed a suit against the trust of the investor Richard Blum, the senator's late husband. In the legal filing, she identified herself as an "attorney in fact" for the Democratic lawmaker. The agreement allowed the former judge to file the suit on behalf of her mother. It's unclear to what extent the younger Feinstein holds power over the 90-year-old lawmaker. ... The New...
