  • Wherefore, Cincinnatus? A Tale of Staggering American Political Corruption.

    A little over 2,500 years ago, there lived a man named Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. If his name seems familiar, that's because one of the United States' great cities is named after him. Cincinnatus had served the Roman Republic in several capacities, including Consul of the Senate of Rome. But in 458 BC, the Roman Army was struggling to defeat the Aequi, an Italic tribe to the east of the city of Rome. Cincinnatus had retired to a farm, but when Rome called, he answered. He was appointed Dictator by the Roman Senate, giving him absolute power over the city -...

    Don’t Sell Off Our American Birthright By Johnny Morris and Collin O’Mara June 27, 2025 America's public lands embody a revolutionary promise. Rejecting the European model that reserved the best lands and wildlife for the crown, our nation established that our majestic natural treasures⁶ would be the birthright of every American. These lands are not only central to our identity—the places we hunt, fish, and recreate across generations—they also serve as the foundation of America’s outdoor recreation economy, which supports more than five million jobs and contributes mightily to our US economy. A recent proposal in the Senate’s budget reconciliation...

    The Shining and It author Stephen King reacted to last weekend’s targeted shootings in Minnesota via an X post where he claimed the “real culprit” in the attacks was “the gun.” Breitbart News reported that Vance Boelter allegedly killed Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband in their home after shooting and severely wounding state Sen. John Hoffman (D) and his wife in theirs. Boelter allegedly dressed like a police officer and parked a car that resembled a police vehicle in the driveway of both homes as he carried out his attacks. King used an X post to...

    Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show” that the “Democratic Party has been the most effective political party in the history of the world.” Host Will Cain said, “I think you’ve got a deeper problem in the way that the left is talking about America.” Carville said, “If I take everything that they all said, it wouldn’t amount to what Mike Lee said, who’s actually a United States Senator who actually said something very harmful and very hurtful and is not apologize for it. So, I mean, we can go on. I mean,...

    VATICAN CITY (AP) – Pope Leo XIV criticized the surge of nationalist political movements in the world as he prayed Sunday for reconciliation and dialogue – a message in line with his pledges to make the Catholic Church a symbol of peace. The pope celebrated Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square in front of tens of thousands faithful, and asked the Holy Spirit to “break down barriers and tear down the walls of indifference and hatred.” “Where there is love, there is no room for prejudice, for ‘security’ zones separating us from our neighbors, for the exclusionary mindset that, tragically,...

    On Saturday on MSNBC’s “Velshi,” one of President Donald Trump’s former lawyers, Michael Cohen, said Tesla CEO Elon Musk will lose in his feud with the president. Cohen said, “Elon said that he’s the one that delivered the election. I’m not so sure we can say that, but he certainly didn’t hurt.” He continued, “You know where Elon Musk is making a mistake? The feud should not have gone on the way that it did. And I say that because while Elon Musk may be the richest man in the world, Donald Trump is the most powerful man in the...

    Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said President Donald Trump was ignoring the “guardrails” of the presidency by pardoning supporters convicted of political corruption and white-collar crime. Christie said, “I think his view of this is that the biggest mistake he made in the first term was not to go further, was to have any type of guardrails placed upon him by either the people he puts around him or by recognition of the law and norms and customs for the position of the presidency. And so you see it in a whole bunch of different...

    Right-wing pundits ripped New Jersey Senator Cory Booker for making a gesture that they likened Nazi salute at the conclusion of a speech Saturday night — and compared it to the move Elon Musk made that was ripped by liberals. The Garden State Democrat made the gesture at a Democratic convention in California — placing his hand over his heart and then gesturing to the crowd with a straight arm and an open hand above shoulder height. Internet influencers were quick to jump on Booker’s salute, and wonder where the outrage is when there was so much criticism by Booker’s...

    Former CNN contributor Chris Cillizza’s Tesla was defaced with a sign reading “Musk is a Nazi” during his son’s soccer tournament, prompting him to reflect on the increasing politicization of everyday products and its impact on American society. In a recent Substack post, former CNN commentator Chris Cillizza shared an incident involving his Tesla being defaced with a sign reading “Musk is a Nazi.” The incident occurred over the weekend while Cillizza was attending his son’s soccer tournament. The leftist used this experience as a springboard to discuss the growing trend of politicizing everyday products and how it is “making...

    There seems to be a clash of views within the ABC daytime talk show "The View" over the hyper-political coverage it has become known for. The Daily Beast reported about an apparent rift between the ladies of "The View" and the top brass at the company, going all the way up to Disney CEO Bob Iger, about a desire for the hosts to cool off the politics. Notably, all six of the co-hosts (Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro) voted for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election and are outspoken critics...

    In an exclusive to Breitbart News, the latest public opinion survey from Rasmussen Reports (a rare reputable pollster) shows Regime Media polls no longer fool anyone. Now that President Donald Trump has reached 100 days in office and we are more than 18 months away from an election that will expose how good or bad media polling is, the fake media feel comfortable releasing a slew of fake polls looking to undermine Trump. We’re told he’s sliding, hitting record lows, putting his party in danger for the upcoming midterms. Everyone hates his agenda, everyone hates him, and blah-ditty-blah, blah, blah.

    Starting in 2016, how many of us heard the phrase “bash the fash” or “punch a Nazi” somewhere? I know I heard it or saw it all over the place. Those who espoused such things argued that this kind of thing was acceptable because the threat was so dire. They had every right to resort to violence in the face of what they argued was violence. Of course, no one actually did anything to hurt them, but it didn’t matter because they’d already rationalized it in their minds. Most of those who said it were big on talk, short on...

    President Trump issued a memo Friday rescinding the security clearances of more than a dozen individuals, including former President Joe Biden and his entire family, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton. “I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information,” Trump wrote in the memo to the heads of executive departments and agencies, before naming those he’s barring from receiving classified information. The list includes his three past presidential election opponents — Clinton, Biden and Harris — as well as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New...

    “I am staying in this fight” is the message failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris has delivered when asked about her political future, with a run for California governor reportedly not out of the question. Politico cited sources familiar with recent conversations Harris has had, including those with knowledge of what she apparently told an individual at a pre-Oscars party, who inquired about when she would make a decision about a gubernatorial run in the Golden State. “She gave a definitive answer, according to two people with knowledge of the conversation: the end of the summer,” Politico reported. And in calls...

    Whoa. If there was one thing I didn’t expect to hear today, it was former “Meet the Press" and NBC News political pundit Chuck Todd blasting former President Joe Biden in deeply personal terms. But he did exactly that on Sunday and sure didn’t hold back, saying that Biden’s image as a family man was utter bull droppings and that “he never should have been there [in the Oval Office] in the first place. He was speaking with Steve Schmidt, co-founder of the odious Lincoln Project, on "The Warning" podcast, and the two were talking about why the Democrats lost...

    Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) announced Saturday afternoon that he’s entering New York City’s mayoral race, adding a big name to the already busy Democratic primary challenging Mayor Eric Adams (D). “Our city is in crisis. That’s why I am running to be Mayor of New York City,” he wrote on social platform X, along with a video. “We need government to work. We need effective leadership.” He also included a link to his campaign website. Cuomo’s entrance comes as little surprise after months of speculation that he would attempt a political comeback years after resigning as governor...

    The Trump administration has ordered four left-leaning news organizations including the New York Times and NBC News to vacate their dedicated office space at the Pentagon, making room for new media outlets such as The Post and the right-leaning Breitbart News and One America News. The decision was announced late Friday in a Department of Defense memo issued by spokesman John Ullyot, who wrote that the Times, NBC News, NPR and Politico must relinquish their Pentagon office space by Feb. 14. According to Ullyot, the move is part of a new annual media rotation program designed to allow access by...

    Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that “nobody in the civil service can be fired because of political reasons.” Raskin said, “The attack on the FBI is extraordinary because for decades it really has been an apolitical operation. There are Republicans who work there, Independents, Democrats. They’ve served all administrations. and now, just because they were assigned to work on the most massive attack on the U.S. Capitol in American history and to prosecute cop assaulters they’re being fired or they’re being investigated. So there’s this mass purge taking place, obviously, coming from the top. What their...

    Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that President Donald Trump had “legitimized” political violence against Democrats. When asked about the J6 pardons, Murphy said, “I mean, let’s let’s really talk about who he let out of prison this week, who walked out of prison. The guy walked out of prison this week that pepper sprayed multiple officers to the point where one had a heart attack, he let out of jail this week. People who were beating police officers over the head with poles he let out of jail. Someone who said when he arrived...

    Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) slammed President Trump’s decision to grant sweeping pardons to those convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, suggesting they are “political foot soldiers” for Trump. “Are they being released as a reserve army of political foot soldiers to act on behalf of MAGA and Donald Trump?” Raskin told CNN’s Erin Burnett during an appearance on the network Tuesday night. “I think that’s what’s so profoundly troubling to a majority of the American people who rejected the idea of freeing at least the violent criminals and the ones who were convicted of seditious conspiracy, which means...
