Israel announced Wednesday that it is sending a team of firefighting experts to Los Angeles, following an inquiry on Tuesday by Breitbart News during a press briefing by the Office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Los Angeles area has been devastated over the past week by the intense destruction of the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire, among other, smaller blazes. Tens of thousands of homes have been lost, and many families displaced. The Times of Israel reported: The Fire and Rescue Authority will send a team of five fire protection experts to the United States this evening, to...

Labour MPs tonight voted down a Tory demand for a new national inquiry into grooming gangs. It was voted down by 364 votes to 111. The House of Commons opposed a call, fronted by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, for a fresh probe into historical child sexual exploitation. Chris Philp MP, Shadow Home Secretary, hit out at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer calling and accused the premier of using 'his supermajority in Parliament to block a national inquiry into the rape gangs scandal'. It came amid a furious political row over the issue, which has seen pressure piled on Sir Keir...

LONDON -- The U.K. government was ill-prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic and serious errors in planning failed its citizens, an inquiry found Thursday. Retired judge Heather Hallett, who is leading the ongoing inquiry, said the government wrongly believed in 2019 that it was one of the best-prepared countries in the world for an outbreak and it anticipated the wrong pandemic — influenza. “This belief was dangerously mistaken," Hallett said in releasing her first report. “In reality, the U.K. was ill-prepared for dealing with the whole-system civil emergency of a pandemic, let alone the coronavirus pandemic that actually struck.” The COVID-19...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday said he believes the “narrative” at the center of the House’s impeachment inquiry into President Biden is “falling apart,” arguing if there was a “smoking gun” in the inquiry, there would be more clear discussions. “If there were a smoking gun, I think we’d be talking about it,” Graham said on NBC News’s “Meet The Press.” “But… the narrative that Hunter Biden presented is falling part. The idea that Joe Biden knew nothing about the business dealings is falling apart. I’m not worried about impeaching the president right now,” Graham continued, adding he is...

The House will vote the week of December 10 on formalizing the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden to strengthen subpoena power over the stonewalling Biden administration, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) stated during a Tuesday press conference. The vote will be a test for House Republicans, who hold a slight majority over House Democrats. The measure will need nearly all Republican support. Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) opened an “impeachment inquiry” on September 12, but lawmakers did not vote to approve the measure. If the impeachment inquiry receives majority support on the House floor, the inquiry will be formally adopted,...

With the Covid Inquiry reaching boiling point, your co-pilots dissect the political finger pointing and blame shifting amongst the witnesses.

In light of said inquiry, strapping into the rocket this week is Professor of Epidemiology at Oxford University, Carl Heneghan who reveals how he felt ‘ambushed’ and subject to a ‘character assassination’ when he was called to give evidence.

The House Oversight Committee scheduled its first impeachment inquiry hearing into President Joe Biden for Thursday, September 28, a committee spokesperson told Breitbart News. “The hearing will focus on constitutional and legal questions surrounding the president’s involvement in corruption and abuse of public office,” the spokesperson said. In addition to the hearing, the spokesperson told Breitbart News the committee intends to subpoena Hunter Biden and James Biden’s bank records as early as this week.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy brutally savaged a reporter who questioned if there was any evidence to warrant an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. There are almost no words to describe how comical this is, as if there was any evidence to support the impeachment of former President Donald Trump. There was no evidence of Russian collusion, which turned out to be a hoax, the real big lie, and nothing to support the equally shoddy quid pro quo allegation regarding Ukraine aid and investigations into the Biden family.

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports” that House Republicans who want to move forward with the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden are “owned” by former President Donald Trump. Wasserman Schultz said, “Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans, the extreme MAGA wing. That’s what this is about. They are succumbing to Donald Trump, and they are allowing Donald Trump to hold our economy hostage. They are giving in to their extreme MAGA wing, and they will potentially, likely crash our economy.” She continued, “They are afraid. They know they have nothing there, that there has...

The White House blasted Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) Tuesday move to direct House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden, calling it “extreme politics” of the worst kind. “House Republicans have been investigating the President for 9 months, and they’ve turned up no evidence of wrongdoing,” Ian Sams, White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, said on X. “His own GOP members have said so. He vowed to hold a vote to open impeachment, now he flip flopped because he doesn’t have support,” Sams said, referring to McCarthy. “Extreme politics at its worst.” McCarthy said that the...

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Tuesday said he will seek to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden based off the House GOP’s investigations into his family’s foreign business dealings. “Today, I am directing our House committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden,” McCarthy said. McCarthy said the probe will be led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) in coordination with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.), who have been leading the investigations. “I do not make this decision lightly. And regardless...

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will endorse an impeachment inquiry into President Biden this week, a source familiar confirmed to The Hill, setting the scene for a formal vote in the chamber — even though it remains unclear that there is enough support to launch a formal investigation. McCarthy intends to tell Republican lawmakers that House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) have found enough information to back up the need for a formal impeachment inquiry, the source said. He will also argue that the launching for a formal inquiry will aid in their effort...

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made clear to Breitbart News on Friday that if House Republicans move forward with an impeachment inquiry into Democrat President Joe Biden, the move would come not as an announcement from him or anyone else, but from a formal vote on the floor of the House. “To open an impeachment inquiry is a serious matter, and House Republicans would not take it lightly or use it for political purposes. The American people deserve to be heard on this matter through their elected representatives,” McCarthy told Breitbart News. “That’s why, if we move forward with an impeachment...

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Sunday signaled that an impeachment inquiry of Attorney General Merrick Garland would be imminent if whistleblower allegations that U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware David Weiss wanted to appoint a special counsel in the Department of Justice’s Hunter Biden probe are true. McCarthy retweeted allegations made by the whistleblower, IRS Criminal Supervisory Special Agent Gary A. Shapley Jr, noting if his allegations are true, “this will be a significant part of a larger impeachment inquiry into Merrick Garland’s weaponization of DOJ.”

Residents and businesses were casualties of almost encyclopedic misjudgments by police, the city, the province and the federal government.... After four days, there were no terrorist incidents, no deaths, no injuries and no arrests. “If they’d left after that weekend, it would have been an insignificant event,” he said. “We’d have cleaned up the city and moved on.” However, the fateful decision by Ottawa Police Service (OPS) to allow trucks on to Parliament Hill, and to let protestors build what Kanellakos called a “logistical compound” at the city-owned parking lot next to a baseball stadium, ended any hopes of a...

In the early 17th century, the English philosopher and statesman Francis Bacon envisioned a bold, multiphase program to accumulate knowledge of the natural world. A critical part of this plan was Novum Organum, which celebrates its 400th anniversary this year. In this work, Bacon attempted to undo the centuries-old dominance of Aristotelian forms of inquiry, encouraging readers to instead apply inductive reasoning to carefully curated observations of the natural world. “Book One” of Novum Organum addressed why so little progress had thus far been made in understanding nature. Here, Bacon cautioned against “idols and false notions” that can interfere with...

Rep. Jerrold Nadler was hoping for redemption yesterday, having earlier been so inept that Nancy Pelosi gave the Adam Schiff’s House Intelligence Committee the opportunity to hold “impeachment inquiry” hearings, even though Nadler’s Judiciary Committee would have the responsibility of drawing up articles of impeachment. But yesterday’s hearing continued excavating the hole that the Democrats’ collective Trump Derangement Syndrome has dug for themselves. Nadler’s first mistake was to start with law professors lecturing us on their hatred .. for Donald Trump. ... they displayed their own contempt, epitomized by Stanford Professor Pamela Karlan’s .. nonsensical but nasty attack on President...

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., appeared on "The Story" Wednesday, making the case for the minority party to present witnesses as House Democrats continue to push toward impeaching President Trump. "If we can prove that the president's questions about Hunter Biden, about Burisma were legitimate, that they were well-founded in what our diplomatic corps and what other professionals believe, that it can't possibly be this, you know, this shakedown that Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi are spewing to the American people," Gaetz told guest host Ed Henry. "And so that's why getting that exculpatory evidence into the record is so important."...
