by Jenn Carter On Monday, the world reacted in horror as the nearly 900-year old Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was nearly completely destroyed by fire. Horrific flames quickly engulfed the entire core structure, and after 2 hours, the iconic spire collapsed, along with most of the roof and its 210 tons of lead. That's what we know. Here's what we don't: What caused it? Well the media seems to have focused on one reason, and one reason only: the cathedral was "under construction" -- a reported $7 million project lasting years, and scheduled to complete just this year. Therefore...

by Sheri Urban Just when Joe Biden's #MeToo political nightmare was already dogging his imminent announcement to run for president -- it just DOUBLED in size. Two more women have come forward to accuse the former Vice President of touching them in a way that made them feel uncomfortable as Biden's touching scandal continues to grow. And he didn't "just" smell a woman's hair this time, as The View harpies tried to justify today. The New York Times reports that "Caitlyn Caruso, a former college student and sexual assault survivor, said Mr. Biden rested his hand on her thigh — even...

Once it became crystal clear that the Deep State operatives loyal to Barack Obama and to the preservation of the Washington political establishment had conspired against POTUS Donald Trump in an unprecedented attempt to remove him from office, we began using the “T” word to describe their behavior. “T” as in treason. What else do you call it when members of your own government secretly plot to overthrow you? But up to now, only this publication and precious few others dared to use the T-word to describe the actions of James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr,...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi scolded Americans late last week for being against a Democrat measure that allows illegal aliens the right to vote. During a press conference in Austin, Texas, Pelosi argued that America must not suppress the vote of newly arrived legal immigrants, including those who arrive in caravans at the U.S.-Mexico border.

For decades, liberal Democrats have tried to rid the world of nuclear weapons, but suddenly the Donkey Party seems to care more about exacting revenge on POTUS Donald Trump than helping him denuclearize one of the most potentially dangerous regimes on the planet. Talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh noted as his program opened on Wednesday that House Democrats scheduled the president’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to appear as POTUS was sitting down with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for their second summit. Kim is believed to have produced at least dozens of nuclear weapons and was hard at work...

Two black Nigerian men, both extras on Empire, have now been arrested… Key Detail In Investigation – How Police Knew Jussie Was Lying Sources close to Chicago reporters have said the police were able to crack the case after their request for Smollett’s call log was denied by the actor. They subpoenaed the phone records instead and continued to publicly treat Smollett as a victim of a hate crime. When he finally turned over a PDF file of his call log nearly two weeks later, investigators were able to examine which calls the actor omitted compared to their own official...

Democrat’s ‘compassion’ for illegals and murderers knows no bounds, the defenseless unborn take it on the chin Virginia’s unborn are discovering what can happen when leftists take over state government. Although Democrat’s ‘compassion’ for illegals and murderers knows no bounds, the defenseless unborn take it on the chin. This wouldn’t have happened if Trump had lost to Hillary. After the president threatened to drain their habitat, Swamp creatures in the Old Dominion united to elect leftists. If bears responded to the potential loss of habitat like Swampists did, park rangers would be forced to issue AR–15s to Yellowstone visitors.

On Friday afternoon, the Mueller team and the Special Prosecutors Office for the Southern District of New York submitted a series of memos dealing with their investigation on Russian collusion, obstruction, and campaign illegalities. In response, the left wing media went abuzz citing the damning implications of the release. One article by Erica Orden and Marshall Cohen of CNN claimed that “Federal prosecutors said for the first time Friday that Michael Cohen acted at the direction of Donald Trump when the former fixer committed two election-related crimes. . . ” It also claimed that the memos “exposed deeper entanglements than...

29-year-old Democrat Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be sworn in as a member of Congress come January 2019. She recently said that she couldn’t afford to land an apartment in Washington DC until her Congressional paycheck kicked in. “I have three months without a salary before I’m a member of Congress. So, how do I get an apartment? Those little things are very real.” She lied.

As usual in these situations, the criminal's Facebook and social media gets purged, often before anyone outside of state-controlled media and police can verify what was actually posted. However, there are reports that Ian David Long, a former Marine, wrote a final post on his Facebook page before going into the Borderline Bar & Grill and murdering a dozen people before turning the gun on himself. In that post, he allegedly wrote, "Yeah... I'm insane, but the only thing you people do after these shootings is 'hopes and prayers.'" This doesn't sound like the words of a Marine to me....

On Sunday the United Nations admitted they are supporting the illegal immigrants and caravans from Central America marching towards the US southern board. In another report, the UN admitted they had mobilized extra staff and resources to help the illegal immigrants in the caravans. Back in 2016, Breitbart obtained a leaked document from Soros' Open Society Foundation revealing close links to UN migration representative and former Goldman Sachs executive Peter Sutherland.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani urged the U.S. to reconsider its abandonment of the JCPOA nuclear deal while accusing the nation of waging “economic war” with sanctions. While speaking at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday Rouhani warned of rulers who have “xenophobic tendencies resembling a Nazi disposition”, and claimed that “those seeking dominance and hegemony are enemies of peace and perpetrators of war.” “We invite you to come back to the negotiating table you left. If you dislike the JCPOA because it is the legacy of your domestic political rivals then we invite you to come back to the Security...

The leftist organization that confronted Senator Ted Cruz and his wife in a D.C. restaurant on Monday night has continued the harassment on Tuesday with a tweet addressing the Senator and other Republicans which reads, “You are not safe. We will find you.” “This is a message to Ted Cruz, Bret Kavanaugh, Donald Trump and the rest of the racist, sexist, transphobic, and homophobic right-wing scum: You are not safe. We will find you. We will expose you. We will take from you the peace you have taken from so many others.” As Paul Joseph Watson notes, the tweet is...

McAllen Station agents are being inundated with migrant families and unaccompanied minors illegally crossing the border from Mexico. Once across the border, the migrants turn themselves in to the first Border Patrol agents they can find, according to information provided to Breitbart Texas from Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol officials. “The continued flow of migrants turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents is creating an unsustainable situation,” Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Manuel Padilla, Jr. said in a written statement. “The transnational criminal organizations exploit family units and unaccompanied children populations and create diversions for agents, leaving...

After coming under accusations of having sex with a minor, it appears that Cody Wilson, the man behind the 3-D Printable firearms company Defense Distributed, is somewhere in Taiwan being pursued by local police. According to reporting by Chinese-language media outlet United Daily News, Wilson has skipped his flight home to the U.S. and has attempted to rent an apartment in Taiwan. He appears to have initially passed himself off as an American student living in the city but has since been turned away by a prospected landlord who recognized him and called the authorities. United Daily News reports that...

This information will likely not be a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to Big Tech’s increasing propensity to violate the privacy of users and use their data for questionable reasons, but here we are. Two days ago, the tech website Venture Beat noticed an eyebrow-raising bit in the latest update to Apple’s privacy policy: "Apple’s promise of transparency regarding user data means that any new privacy policy update might reveal that it’s doing something new and weird with your data. Alongside yesterday’s releases of iOS 12, tvOS 12, and watchOS 5, Apple quietly updated some of its...

James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has released the second installment of its undercover video series unmasking the deep state within the United States Federal Government. This time the investigation covers Department of Justice paralegal Allison Hrabar and Jessica Schubel, the former HHS Chief of Staff for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services during the Obama administration.

Leading congressional Democrats are looking to stall the process to release documents related to the Russia investigation, which President Donald Trump ordered declassified on Monday. Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and Sens. Chuck Schumer and Mark Warner, sent a letter Tuesday asking Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats to provide an “immediate briefing” to the Gang of Eight before declassifying and releasing the documents.

The first estimates from the Air Force on the proposed new Space Force branch of the military put the cost at around $13 billion over 5 years. On Monday, The Associated Press obtained a memo dated Sept. 14 from Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, which called for “a lethality focused organization that will field space superiority capabilities.” “The President has clearly communicated his desire for a military department for space,” Wilson wrote. “Strategic competition with Russia and China is the focus of our approach.” The memo states that in its first year the Space Force would cost $3.3 billion. The...
