The process is expected to be completed by the end of the...

A well-coordinated, well-funded, and high-powered network of leftist organizations, led by a group whose efforts 2016 Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton promoted, is behind the push to remove former President Donald Trump, the 2024 frontrunner for president from any party, from the ballot, Breitbart News has learned. But it’s much broader than that: For years, this network of leftists grew from a powerful vast left-wing conspiracy unmasked a decade ago into now being the dominating force on the left determined to stop Trump at all costs. What’s more, these leftists clearly control what top Democrats are saying, forcing their...

A teenage swimmer is facing a Kafkaesque sexual misconduct investigation over allegations that he slapped another swimmer on the butt as a middle schooler. According to a story in the Associated Press (A.P.), an organization designed to protect athletes from horrific abuse has devolved into a bureaucratic nightmare for others, who can find themselves dragged into opaque investigations over minor allegations of wrongdoing. "I think the guilty-until-proven-innocent aspect is what bothers me the most, because right now, he's still [considered] guilty until the case is finalized," the teenager's mother told A.P. The U.S. Center for SafeSport is a nonprofit organization...

A half-century before Donald Trump dismissed the four criminal cases against him as a “witch hunt,” a defensive President Richard M. Nixon famously declared, “I’m not a crook.” Nixon made the comment 50 years ago Friday, on Nov. 17, 1973, at Disney World in Florida as the Watergate scandal was swirling around him. It came a month after the Saturday Night Massacre, when Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus resigned rather than carry out Nixon’s order to fire Watergate special prosecutor Archibald Cox. Then Solicitor General Robert Bork fired Cox. Now Nixon was addressing 400 people...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) called for an “independent investigation” into the bombing of a Gaza Strip hospital on Monday, continuing her refusal to accept US and Israeli findings they say show Islamic Jihad terrorists were behind the atrocity. “Media outlets and third-party analysts have raised doubts about claims and evidence offered by both Israel and the Gaza Ministry of Health, and I agree with the United Nations that an independent investigation is necessary,” Tlaib said in a statement. “I cannot uncritically accept Israel’s denials of responsibility as fact, especially in light of confirmation from the World Health Organization that Israel...
