Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump served as a “breaking point” for many voters on the fence in the 2024 election, former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said during a sit-down interview with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Boyle pointed out that many at the convention are keenly aware of God intervening to save Trump’s life on Saturday, as a bullet grazed his ear milliseconds after he turned his head. Zeldin agreed. “A lot of people feel like God’s hand was on his shoulder, that there was...

Having condemned the Hamas terrorist organization for its brutal Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Krystal Ball, co-host of the American political podcast “Breaking Points,” figures it is only “morally consistent” to denounce Israel for what she called a genocide against “all 2.2 million citizens of Gaza, and Palestinians living in Gaza.” In the antisemitic tirade, the host doubled down in response to questions from premium subscribers about the show’s anti-Israel posture. “I don’t think you can really cover those details in a way that looks good for Israel right now if you’re being honest,” Ball said. Co-host Saagar Enjeti—who had...

After two solid years of COVID restrictions, many of us have reached a breaking point. Witness the mass exodus to other states from sunny California. Who wouldn't want to get out of here, away from this strangling, prison-like "reality"? Malaise is now spreading throughout the country, as a direct result of Biden's mass migration. How do you know that your chosen destination hasn't been set upon by a horde of unknown, unemployed migrants? This makes moving elsewhere less attractive. You can't know what you'll find when you get there, but it might be just as bad — or if clandestine...

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Board is said to be considering removing former president Ronald Reagan’s name from the City’s airport. “National monuments should reflect an accurate picture of a society’s character and core values,” said Board Chairman H.R. Crawford. “Reagan symbolized a kind of ‘cowboy individualism’ that ran counter to the mainstream of American history. His political ascendancy was an aberration, a detour, so to speak, on the nation’s road to greater social consciousness. We shouldn’t be exaggerating that detour by having the City’s airport named after him.” Crawford suggested that “if we have to personalize it, LBJ or...

In the times we live, I am often reminded of the men who gave all, so that I can enjoy the freedom I do. I guess that is why I get so angry when I see what the current rulers of this country have in store for me, you, and our descendants. Men, greater than I could ever hope to be, offered everything they had in this world, because they wanted freedom for their descendants, us. Freedom that Obama and his socialist friends desire to take away from us all. Well, I have only one question to ask, "Where Are...

There's no mistaking the larger message behind the results of Tuesday's special election. Despite campaigns that spent more than $250 million, every one of the eight ballot initiatives was defeated. It was a rejection not only of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, but of the entire political process. Interestingly, this vote did not break down along party ideologies. Voters uniformly rejected both the conservative initiatives such as the abortion-notification law, Proposition 73, and the liberal proposals to punish pharmaceutical interests, Proposition 79, and tighten energy regulations, Proposition 80. Obviously, Californians were fed up. They were fed up with the months of deceitful...
