Donald Trump may or may not fix his campaign, and Hillary Clinton may or may not become the first female president. But something else happening before our eyes is almost as important: the complete collapse of American journalism as we know it. The frenzy to bury Trump is not limited to the Clinton campaign and the Obama White House. They are working hand-in-hand with what was considered the cream of the nation’s news organizations. The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America. The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC...

The Donald Trump campaign's boasts of a formidable fundraising month in July spooked Democrats who feared their financial advantage could be slipping.But a closer inspection of the campaign finance report filed just before Saturday's midnight deadline indicates the haul came at a steep price, and the campaign was still not dedicating resources to catching up on building the staff and field organization that all previous presidential efforts have required.Story Continued Below Though the campaign touted an $80 million figure for its July fundraising, just $36.7 million of that total went directly to the campaign. The rest came in through joint...

A senior staffer at the Republican National Committee (RNC) told Breitbart News Saturday GOP presidential candidate Donald J. Trump did not say or suggest that he was open to granting any legal status–amnesty–to any illegal aliens in the United States at his campaign’s National Hispanic Advisory Council meeting as reported in BuzzFeed and Univision. “Mr. Trump did not say he was in favor of legalization,” said Helen Aguirre-Ferre, who joined the RNC staff to help coordinate outreach to the Hispanic community and act as the GOP Hispanic communications director. Aguirre-Ferre told Breitbart News that she is Hispanic, but not a...

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia donated more than $10 million. Through a foundation, so did the son-in-law of a former Ukrainian president whose government was widely criticized for corruption and the murder of journalists. A Lebanese-Nigerian developer with vast business interests contributed as much as $5 million. For years the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation thrived largely on the generosity of foreign donors and individuals who gave hundreds of millions of dollars to the global charity. But now, as Mrs. Clinton seeks the White House, the funding of the sprawling philanthropy has become an Achilles’ heel for her campaign...

The western United States is chronically short of water and the situation can only get worse, barring some sort of major reversal of climate. I don't believe this is caused by climate change, but rather is an inevitable function of increasing population demands on a limited resource. With few exceptions, Lake Mead, designed to be a major supplier of water for southern California and Las Vegas, has been steadily dropping to the point where it may fail to produce any water in dry times of the cycle. Other reservoirs have been observed to dry up or lose over three quarters...

It’s remarkable how biased the mainstream media is against Donald Trump. If you listen to the media, all his polls look horrible and his odds of winning are remote. According to the biased liberal media, Team Trump should be in panic mode. Really? In reality it’s Hillary Clinton who should be in panic mode right about now. Let me explain. According to liberals…and Donald's critics…and the GOP establishment…and Ted Cruz’s “NeverTrump” crowd…and the mainstream media... Trump is ignorant...disorganized...offensive...his views are barbaric and simplistic... He's firing his campaign managers AGAIN…. He's made every rookie mistake in the book as the "non...

“Give a man a reputation as an early riser,” said Mark Twain, “and he can sleep ‘til noon.” Hillary Clinton finds herself in the opposite situation: She has a reputation for venality — the merits of which we can set aside momentarily — that forces her to a higher ethical standard. Her inadequate response to the conflicts of interest inherent in the Clinton Foundation show that she is not meeting that standard, and has not fully grasped the severity of her reputational problem. The purpose of the Clinton Foundation is to leverage Clinton fame into charitable donations. That purpose has...

New Trump campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, makes the case for why American women should vote for Donald Trump despite previous comments the candidate has made, including on abortion.

The Three Most Important Issues For 2016: Immigration, Immigration, Immigration America's most underrated -- and consequential -- challenge. August 19, 2016 Michael Cutler    In real estate it is said that the three most important factors to consider are “location, location, location.” When considering the candidates Americans should vote for in the upcoming elections, the key issue is simply immigration or, as I wrote in a recent article, “It’s the Immigration Problem, Stupid: Secure borders are synonymous with safety and that's what Americans want in 2016.” Elected officials and government employees, especially those in law enforcement and intelligence, hold positions of trust. They...

Stone also said he would continue to be publicly critical of former Trump campaign manager (and now paid CNN commentator) Corey Lewandowski if he continued to attack the campaign. Despite being fired from the campaign in June, Lewandowski has remained fiercely loyal to Trump and his candidacy.

What happens to Hillary Clinton? Not that us, Frenchmen, have the right to look into this matter, but knowing that she could be elected president of the United States next November and, so, become one of the most powerful people on the planet, her health, in case she would have an influence on her decisions, have an importance automatically to each of us. A recent video captioned in French has something to worry about. It can be seen that, indeed Hillary is suffering from what well seems to be a crisis of partial convulsions, very evocative of a partial epilepsy...

"It's obvious that recent events — from Dallas and Baton Rouge to Milwaukee and across the country — underscore how difficult and important the work is ahead of us to repair the bonds of trust and respect between our police officers and our communities," Clinton said. "We have to be clear-eyed about the challenges we face. We can't ignore them, and certainly we must not inflame them."

"Today, Mr. Trump convened a meeting of some of the top foreign policy and national security experts in the country to discuss how to win the war against Radical Islamic Terrorism. The participants talked about improving immigration screening and standards to keep out radicals, working with moderate Muslims to foster reforms, and partnering with friendly regimes in the Middle East to stamp out ISIS. This is a stark contrast to Hillary Clinton who wants to bring in 620,000 refugees with no way to screen them, who refuses to say radical Islam, and who bears direct responsibility for the rise of...

A history of repeated thrombosis in the brain in a woman age 50-70 usually means an occult brain tumor.There was no indication in Dr. Bardack’s report that Hillary was even worked up for a glioblastoma at Columbia Physicians and Surgeon Hospital where she had been hospitalized for weeks, if not months. Hillary may not be medically/physically/mentally fit to undertake the strenuous job of POTUS and she knows this fact extremely well. Yet, she has subordinated all personal malfeasance and external impediments toward one specific goal: to become the first woman POTUS.

TV personality Dr. David Andrew Pinsky said Wednesday that he is “gravely concerned” about Hillary Clinton’s health and the treatments she’s received, which he described as “1950-level care.” Appearing on KABC’s “McIntyre in the Morning,” Dr. Pinsky, a board-certified internist more commonly known as Dr. Drew, said he and another doctor reviewed Mrs. Clinton’s medical evaluations and came to some startling conclusions. “Based on the information that she has provided and her doctors have provided, we were gravely concerned not just about her health, but her health care,” he said in the interview, transcribed by the Washington Free Beacon. “Both...

n an interview on KABC-TV, Dr. Drew Pinsky of “Loveline” and “Celebrity Rehab” fame said a recent report on Hillary Clinton’s health from Breitbart raised serious questions as to whether Hillary could complete her term if elected president. The report indicated that the Democrat front-runner “could be suffering from long-term health issues stemming from a concussion and blood clot,” which Clinton’s doctors denied. Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton’s doctor and chair of internal medicine at the Mount Kisco Medical Group in New York, said the former secretary of state and first lady was “healthy” and would be able to serve. Pinsky,...

Lou Dobbs announces volunteering to be poll watchers for Trump and 7000 lawyers on the ground for election. 11:05 - 13:28 in the video

It’s no secret that Democrats really want to dominate with the Hispanic demographic. It contributed to their victory over Mitt Romney in 2012, and with Trump proudly declaring he’ll build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants—they view winning these folks again to be a cakewalk. There’s also a bit of trolling going on, especially since Hillary Clinton tapped an illegal alien to assist in Hispanic voter outreach. She’s also reaching out to “Dreamers,” children brought over into the United States illegally, along with their parents (via Associated Press): The 730,000 young people brought to the U.S. as children without...

GOP nominee Donald Trump is poised to receive his first classified intelligence briefing in New York City on Wednesday. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence will give Trump a "fairly general" report, says Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.   Retired Gen. Michael Hayden emphasized this latter point, noting the secret meetings will be "secret-light." Many have voiced their concerns about Trump having knowledge of important national security intel, especially after he invited Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's emails. the words "Trump" and "classified intelligence briefing" are so hard to write in the same tweet.— Edward Luce (@EdwardGLuce) August 17, 2016 Others pointed out that...

Donald Trump is peddling a “deranged conspiracy” about Hillary Clinton’s health — suggesting she may not be physically fit enough to be Leader of the Free World, the Democrat’s campaign is alleging. “[W]ith the help of his well-oiled network of conspiracy peddlers – from Roger Stone to Sean Hannity – Trump is desperately trying to give life to already busted myths about the health of a woman whose stamina and focus was publicly lauded following an 11 hours long hearing about the tragedy in Benghazi,” the Clinton campaign said in a Tuesday night press release. Trump has criticized Clinton’s physical...
