Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) dug into President Biden’s border policies Monday, arguing they will result in 9/11-style attacks “every few weeks.” “The Biden administration … is going to get us in so much trouble,” Tuberville said in an interview with Newsmax’s “The Balance.” “We’re going to have a 9/11 attack every few weeks if we don’t watch it.” “It is out of control, but this group could care less,” Tuberville continued, adding later, “I was an educator, and I’m up here, watching what’s going on — I’m thinking … who cares?

A source within the Israeli government told Breitbart News on Tuesday that U.S. President Joe Biden’s pressure would lead to Hamas surviving the war intact, rather than allowing Israel to destroy Hamas or remove its military and governing capabilities. In recent days, the White House has acknowledged that Israel intends to continue fighting Hamas after the current “pause,” sought by Biden to allow the release of hostages, ends later this week. “The Israelis have been pretty clear that once the pauses are complete and the hostage exchanges [sic] are over that they intend to continue their military operations against Hamas,”...

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona misinterpreted President Ronald Reagan when discussing the role of the government in people’s lives. Speaking alongside Govs. Mark Gordon (R-WI) and Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) at the 2023 Winter Meeting for the Western Governors' Association a few weeks ago in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Cardona said, “I think it was President Reagan who said, 'We're from the government. We're here to help.'” Cardona's mistake drew criticism from former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who said it was "terrifying" in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) also chimed in, writing on...

Peter Jennings, the late anchor of ABC’s World News Tonight, once remarked the following as host of a television investigation of unidentified flying objects: “We have a lot of skeptics—I am very skeptical—but we seriously investigated something a lot of people are serious about,” he said. “And when we come to the end, this is wonderfully interesting. “More than 80 million Americans believe intelligent beings from somewhere else have come here,” he said. “Forty million believe they have seen UFOs, so this is of deep interest to people.” Jennings said further in exploring the wide span of those interviewed who...

The World Health Organization (WHO) is telling Chinese citizens to wear face masks, keep physical distance, and stay home amid an outbreak of a “mystery respiratory illness.” Media reports say hospitals in Beijing and Liaoning are overwhelmed with cases of “undiagnosed pneumonia” primarily affecting kids.

If you want to improve your kid’s chances of getting into an elite university — and you can afford it — it certainly doesn’t hurt to start donating major cash to the school as early as possible. But some wealthy Jewish families who have done just that at schools like Harvard and Columbia, sometimes beginning when their children were in first grade, are now writing it off as a loss. Following an explosion of pro-Palestine rallies and anti-Israel sentiment in the Ivy League, some families of high-school seniors are crossing the schools off their application lists. “They’re not paying a...

News reports about witnesses to atrocities already have confirmed the beheading of babies, the violent rape of victims, sometimes even after...

All throughout the modern history of Israel – the hand of God in rescuing the remnant from the gas chambers and the death camps in Europe; the hand of God in bringing them back to a land that once was a barren wasteland and now is one of the most fertile grounds in the world; the hand of God in reviving the old forgotten Hebrew language as the only means of communication between people that come from more than 80 different diasporas; the hand of God in making sure that the efforts to destroy the newborn state will fail. God’s...
