‘Historic progress’ on electric cars may turn into a historic rout in swing states. This week’s Environmental Protection Agency tailpipe rule amounts to an imminent ban on gasoline-powered cars Who else approves? The White House will point to a cheerleading automotive industry, but peek behind the pom-poms and you see an administration with a gun to carmakers’ heads... “They’re coming for your truck.” An energy trade group has already been up with ads making that point in swing states, calling on Americans to reject Biden’s “EPA car ban.” Today’s Democratic Party is entirely dedicated to the proposition that all Americans...

Controversial conservative commentator Candace Owens and the Daily Wire have parted ways. “Daily Wire and Candace Owens have ended their relationship,” Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) Friday. He did not elaborate on the circumstances behind the move. Owens, who joined the Daily Wire in 2021, could not immediately be reached for comment. Owens’s departure from the outlet comes after “months of tensions between her and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro over her promotion of various anti-Semitic conspiracy theories,” according to Mediaite. More to come.

The family of missing student Riley Strain says it has been shown unreleased surveillance video that captured him walking fast or “jogging” in the opposite direction of his hotel. Chris Whiteid, Strain’s stepfather, and Chris Dingman, a friend acting as the family spokesman, revealed that Metro Nashville Police on Sunday showed them the last known video of the University of Missouri student from the night of his disappearance. “We got to see him walking,” Whiteid told NewsNation in an interview that aired Thursday. “We got to see him kind of at a fast pace walk, almost a jog. And it...

Jeb Bush, then the presumed Republican presidential nominee, famously described illegal immigration as "an act of love". Because that's how these right-wing haters like to talk. As acts of love go, it doesn't appear to be entirely consensual: This is the moment when TX National Guard became overrun by migrants rioting to get across the border here in El Paso today We were there and saw it all happen. Absolute chaos here. pic.twitter.com/VN6Kf663ie — Jennie Taer (@JennieSTaer) March 21, 2024 The above happened in a country where law enforcement is not shy about using lethal force if you're pulled over...

New York Attorney General Letitia James reportedly has three ways to collect $454 million if former President Donald Trump does not post a bond to cover a civil fraud judgment by Monday. If Trump’s Monday appeal fails to reduce or hold off James from collecting the bond amount, she would have the power to go after the former president’s cash and real estate holdings. “We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers,” James told ABC News in February. To stave off James’ tactics, Trump must post a liquid (cash, securities) bond covering the full...

I rushed to hope that the U.S. would turn the Gaza port initiative into the first step in the move toward its comprehensive peace vision, in cooperation with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority. This was all based on the hope that Qatar, which is Hamas, would be ousted from any role in it, since it is a sponsor of Islamist terrorism worldwide. My hope was indeed consistent with the first reports about the port initiative. I termed it a "port of hope" and considered it a miracle that the Biden administration would take an actual...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Russia and China on Friday vetoed a U.S.-sponsored U.N. resolution calling for “an immediate and sustained cease-fire” in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza to protect civilians and enable humanitarian aid to be delivered to more than 2 million hungry Palestinians. The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 11 members in favor, three against and one abstention. Before the vote, Russia’s U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said Moscow supports an immediate cease-fire, but he questioned the language in the resolution and accused U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield of “misleading the international...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) called for a “ceasefire” in Gaza in a letter to California’s “Muslim, Palestinian American, and Arab American” communities on Thursday, a step back from his pro-Israel stance early in the war. As Breitbart News reported in October, Newsom paid a surprise visit to Israel on his way to China, meeting with Israeli victims of the Hamas terror attack of October 7. He did not equivocate in his support for Israel’s right to defend itself, as he recalled meeting in Isarel with “young soldiers fresh from bomb shelters and battlefields.”

Boeing is facing an investigation into a 737 Max 8 incident that took place last month. A United Airlines plane was flying from the Bahamas to Newark, New Jersey on February 6. It was delivered to the carrier a year earlier. All 161 people on board were uninjured. In its preliminary report released Thursday, the National Transportation Safety Board said the jet experienced "stuck" rudder pedals. The rudder pedals let pilots control the plane's yaw, meaning which direction the nose is pointing. When landing, they help keep the aircraft on the runway's centerline. In a post-incident statement, the flight's captain...

"They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” These words were spoken by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in his unprecedented speech last week calling for the end and replacement of Israel’s democratically elected government. How ironic is it then that the policy Schumer championed so much during his speech is precisely that. The two reasons Schumer claimed Benjamin Netanyahu can no longer remain the Prime Minister of the State of Israel and must now be considered an “obstacle to peace” are his empowerment of parties to the right...

Neuralink posted a livestream on X featuring Noland Arbaugh, the first person to use Neuralink's technology that enables control of a computer via thought. In the video on Wednesday, Arbaugh said that he is 29 years old and noted that he is paralyzed below his shoulders due to a "diving accident" around 8 years ago. He demonstrated his ability to move the cursor on the computer screen and play chess using the Neuralink technology. And at the request of the Neuralink engineer who was also on the video, Arbaugh paused music that had been playing. In an apparent reference to...

A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit challenging a District of Columbia law allowing “noncitizen residents” to vote in local elections. Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an appointee of President Barack Obama, found that a group of seven citizen plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the legislation. Their lawsuit against the D.C. Board of Elections, filed on March 14, aimed to block the 2022 law passed by the Council of the District of Columbia. They argued that “noncitizens” do not have a fundamental right to vote in the United States and that allowing them to cast ballots and hold office in...

A TikTok video by a Venezuelan illegal alien has gone viral, with the man in the video instructing other illegals on how to take advantage of squatting laws in the United States to invade American homes. Fox News reports that the illegal in question is named Leonal Moreno, who narrates the video in Spanish for his fellow illegals. “I have thought about invading a house in the United States,” says Moreno in the video. “I found out that there is a law that says that if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it.” Moreno goes on to say...

David Spring is a former leader of the Washington State Democratic Party. He was the East King County Representative to the King County Central Committee and Training Advisor for King County Democrats – where he taught hundreds of volunteers how to run political campaigns using the Democratic Database called Votebuilder. Spring was on the Board of the WA Progressive Caucus – which is the largest caucus in the WA Democratic Party and ran the WA for Bernie Sanders website, where he published articles and videos teaching thousands of Sanders supporters (most of whom had never been Democrats) how to take...

WASHINGTON. Monday, March 21. The adjourned meeting of the Union caucus of last week met to-night, but owing to the slim attendance no definite action was had upon any of the matters under discussion. The chairman was authorized to call them together whenever it was deemed expedient. The principle subject under consideration was the duty of Union members generally to stand by the action of committees on all important measures, which was fully acquiesced in by all those present. An extract from a rebel paper sent here by Gen. MEADE contains full details of the proposed reorganization of the army....

As is well known, the senior leadership of Hamas takes good care of itself. Just three of its leaders — Ismail Haniyeh, Mousa Abu Marzouk, and Khaled Meshaal — have between them squirreled away $11 billion, stolen from the aid money that was meant for the people of Gaza. They all now live in lavish apartments in Doha, Qatar, watching the war from a safe distance, while egging on those who are doing the real fighting, and dying.Qatar has been the main financial supporter of Hamas, and it isn’t just money it provides. Qatar thoughtfully built luxury apartments for the...

The Biden regime is in a tough spot. Its far-left base is enraged over its ongoing ostensible support for Israel. Instead of acting with integrity despite the electoral cost and standing by a loyal ally in its time of need, the regime is making a series of moves to betray Israel and give aid and comfort to its enemies.Now it’s mulling over a step that would constitute the biggest betrayal of all and would hand victory to the Hamas jihad terror group. For the unprincipled Biden regime apparatchiks, it’s all about winning in November.The New York Sun reported Monday that...

OAKLAND, Calif. - Runaway graffiti, sometimes called urban art, has often been cited as a major sign of urban decay and disrespect for private and public property. While there are rules against graffiti, enforcing it sometimes causes more trouble than it might be worth.

Johnson’s invitation was the perfect response to these craven moves by the Biden administration and Schumer to throw Prime Minister Netanyahu under the bus to boost Biden’s reelection chances. Kudos to House Speaker Mike Johnson, who yesterday extended an invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the U.S. House of Representatives. This was an important and much-needed gesture to reassure the Israeli people that the vast majority of Americans stand with Israel in its war against the Hamas terrorists and do not agree with the surge in hostility toward the Israeli government by the Biden administration and some...
