Establishment Republican Congressman Van Taylor (Texas — 3rd District) is dropping out of his re-election race after NATIONAL FILE exclusively broke the story that Van Taylor had an extramarital affair with an ISIS bride, abusing his power by requesting a “slow rim job” from the woman and trying to keep her quiet with lavish money offers. Van Taylor was held to less than 50 percent of the vote in his primary on Tuesday night and forced into a runoff against second-place challenger Judge Keith Self and now the Republicans do not see any path forward for the sitting Congressman. Van...

There’s no gentle way to say it, but the truth is that a lot of us hate our elites far more than we hate some foreign dictator.Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine Thursday. He’d been fixing on it for a while. Most of the world knew it was coming. By nightfall, their advanced forces had reached the capital city of Kyiv, and the situation looked dire. In the ensuing bloodshed, the internet was awash in hot takes. Not insignificant among them: That treason is amiss on the right, where our elites detect an insufficient support for the...

This installment in the series documents the truth about face masks while drawing on expert interviews familiar with the regulatory codes for personal protective equipment (PPE) to examine the health impact that masks have on the youth.The medical establishment has long known that surgical and cloth masks offer no protection from viruses and are fertile breeding grounds for harmful bacteria.We must put an end to the barbaric practice of masking children. Kids are bearing the brunt of this foolish, unscientific practice as they are...

Conservative Party interim leader Candice Bergen demanded an end to trucker-led “Freedom Convoy” protests blockading international borders on Thursday, urging anti-mandate demonstrations to end. Her statement in the House of Commons appeared to be a dramatic shift from her initial support for the protests, which have lasted nearly two weeks in the national capital, Ottawa, but have begun to dispute Canada-U.S. supply chains through blockades along Canada’s southern border. Ambassador Bridge, the largest American-Canadian crossing, has come to an ongoing standstill this week as hundreds of trucks park themselves on and around it, inhibiting international traffic.

Omicron should be a cause for celebration, not fear. Its symptoms are mild to nonexistent in the majority of the infected, especially the vaccinated; hospitalization rates are over nine times lower than for previous COVID strains; deaths are negligible. The only public health experts whom the media quote are those determined to put the most dire spin on Omicron. There are apparently no circumstances that would warrant a less-than-totalitarian response in advance of any actual disaster. The yearning for more draconian lockdowns and more control over the private sector is palpable. The South African data should lead any coverage of...

I Warned You About What We’re Living Through TodayJan 7, 2021 RUSH: Hey, folks, it’s great to be back. Really great to be back, and I need to ask you a favor. I need to you to give me a few minutes here just to get my sea legs. This has been a very, very bad couple of weeks for me. I don’t want to get into any more detail about it. Those of you have been through this know exactly what I’m talking about. But it has not been a break in the sense that it hasn’t been restful...

Ex-Democrat Illinois governor turned “Trumpocrat” Rod Blagojevich said he believes current Gov. J.B. Pritzker tried to keep him in jail because the Democrat establishment is “afraid of what he knows” and “what [he] will say soon.” In a video obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, Blagojevich, who was Illinois governor from 2003 to 2009, can be heard talking about his relationship with the current governor, some of the events leading up to his time in federal prison, and his standing with the party he left behind.

Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that spreading the lie that the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was a false flag operation is “un-American.” Anchor Chris Wallace said, “We’ve always argued about policy. What strikes me as was different now but not just now but in recent years is that we argue over facts. We argue over the truth. Congresswoman Cheney, there is talk now that January 6 was a false flag operation. It was a case of liberals in the deep state setting up conservatives and Trump supporters. Is there...

CNN's Jim Acosta blasted Fox News host Tucker Carlson and the Murdoch family for a new mini-series focusing on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, a project which Acosta referred to as "proud boy porn." A trailer for the series, which debuts in three parts this week and will be streamed exclusively on Fox Nation, the company's streaming service, showed interviewees suggesting the attack on the U.S. Capitol was a "false flag operation." The trailer also shows Carlson warning viewers that the government may be waging "a war" on "patriots." "The worst part of what Tucker is doing...

For the sake of our two-party system, I would have liked to believe that Republican Glenn Youngkin, should he win the Virginia governor’s election on Tuesday, could show the way to a post-Trump restoration of the GOP, away from the crazy and the culture wars. After all, Youngkin is a moderate businessman who has long been a traditional Republican. But I can’t, because that’s not how he’s campaigned against former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe. Youngkin is no Donald Trump, but neither is he disavowing the worst of Trump. He’s using weasel words, but all the same he’s corroding faith in...

For far too long in our country serving in federal office has been nothing more than the top rung of the ladder for most of our elected officials' chosen career. Some young city councilman joins the legislature, biding their time till a house seat opens up, so they can get enough name ID to jump in a Senate race. These campaigns always ran the same lines, “I can compromise”, “it’s time to work across the aisle” and “let me be your voice and break up the partisan gridlock.”. Despite sounding cute, and making us feel good, most of these campaigns...

Let’s go, Brandon, and all you establishment jerks are Brandon. The beauty of “Let’s Go, Brandon” is how it not only captures the utter contempt that America has for our alleged president, who is currently polling about as well as Michael Moore would be among Golden Corral managers, but how it captures what is either unbelievable cluelessness among the media, or unbelievable mendacity. Probably some of both. NASCAR driver Brandon Brown, who had more successfully driven in circles than the other guys he was driving in circles with in whatever the Xfinity Series at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama is, was...

The establishment media reported Tuesday the White House is “currently overwhelmed by the Afghanistan crisis,” while facing the southern border crisis, debt limit crisis, and an uncompromising infrastructure fight on Capitol Hill. “Yet with this intraparty battle brewing, the president and top White House officials are currently overwhelmed by the Afghanistan crisis,” Punchbowl News wrote Tuesday after the total collapse of Kabul, Afghanistan. “That’s not surprising, considering the gravity of what’s transpiring in Kabul and throughout Afghanistan. But for Biden and his senior staff, the timing of this foreign policy disaster couldn’t occur at a worse time.”

Appearing on CNN's New Day this morning, a Democrat strategist accused Republicans of wanting "to basically turn Florida into a morgue."But in a mark of just how deep CNN and the Dems have dived into loony-left extremism, the guy, Michael Starr Hopkins, was brought on to represent the centrist wing of the party!Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The establishment media on Sunday blamed the coronavirus for disrupting supply chains and causing President Joe Biden’s inflation woes. Vox blamed American workers for the increase in prices due to disrupting supply chains during the Chinese coronavirus. “The pandemic, of course, meant a disruption in supply chains and habits. All of a sudden, millions of Americans were stuck at home, hoarding toilet paper and clearing grocery store shelves,” Vox wrote. “According to economists who expect the robust post-pandemic economic recovery to fuel brisk price increases for a while,” the Wall Street Journal claimed, “Americans should brace themselves for several years...

The long-time partner of the US Capitol police officer who died following the Jan. 6 insurrection penned an emotional op-ed Wednesday that detailed her grief and her efforts to see a full investigation into the siege. Sandra Garza, who spent 11 years with Officer Brian Sicknick, wrote in the opinion essay published on CNN that initially following his death, she couldn’t bear to watch any of the news coverage of the insurrection, but once she did, she couldn’t believe her eyes. “I saw officers being brutalized and beaten, and protesters defying orders to stay back from entering the Capitol. All...

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) says Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) was kicked out of her leadership position because of “cancel culture.” During an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Friday, Ernst explained, “While there are a number of things that I may not agree with her on, for her to come forward, stand up and say what she feels is important to say is OK.” “People may not like it, just as I may not like AOC and some of the things that she says out there. But for everyone to try to silence her voice, she has a voice, and...

During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Hogan was asked if he shared Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) view that Trump is an “ongoing threat to American democracy.” “I think he’s toxic for the Republican Party and for the country,” Hogan responded. “And I think we’ve got to find a way to get the Republican Party back to the party of Lincoln and Reagan, get back to the more traditional big-tent party that can appeal to a majority of people.” He added, “Otherwise we simply aren’t going to have control, we’re not going to get the White House...

Meghan McCain on Wednesday slammed Republicans working to oust Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from her House GOP leadership position, promising “consequences one way or another” if she is forced out of her post. “I feel very defensive of Liz Cheney and if you do this, which it looks like they're gonna do, I promise you there will be consequences, one way or another there's going to be consequences,” McCain said on “The View.” In the fiery segment, McCain called the group of Republicans supporting the ouster of Cheney a “sausage fest of MAGA.” “Go ahead in this sausage fest of...
