House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) scheduled a markup hearing for May 16 to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, a source confirmed to Breitbart News. Garland defied a final warning on April 26 to comply with a subpoena for the audio of Biden’s interview with Hur. If Garland did not comply with the subpoena, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) and Jordan warned Garland on April 17 that he would face contempt of Congress proceedings. The markup is...

We asked the Trump campaign attorney for proof of her bombshell claims. She gave us nothing. On Thursday, Rudy Giuliani and a number of President Trump's other lawyers held a press conference on the topic of voter fraud. If you didn't actually see it, you've probably heard about it by now. Giuliani, along with former federal prosecutor called Sidney Powell and a number of others, alleged that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. To demonstrate that, they exhibited some of what they found after two weeks of investigating. The presentation went on for 90 minutes with many different...

Syria devalued its currency by 44% on Wednesday, announcing a new official exchange rate for the pound amid chaos in the market, hours before new U.S. sanctions aimed at cutting off revenue for Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government took effect. The sanctions, known as the U.S. Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, are the toughest set of measures to be imposed on Syria yet, preventing anyone around the world from doing business with Syrian officials or state institutions or from participating in the country’s reconstruction... Syria’s already troubled economy has sharply deteriorated, prices have soared and the national currency, the Syrian...

Televised Meeting to talk about healthcare..........

HAS Britain's standing in the world ever been lower? The country that was once a byword for freedom is now seen as a bully and a weakling. Bully enough to follow America's lead and cause mayhem in Iraq, but weak enough to stand meekly by while 14 British men and one woman are exhibited like trophies and gloated over by the mad thugs of Iran. Our 15 British hostages are forced to act like performing seals for one of the vilest regimes on the planet, and the bitter truth is that our chums in the civilised world do not give...

A law passed nearly a year ago to help curb human trafficking in the state still has never been used to prosecute those suspected of enslaving immigrants, proponents of the bill said. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he hoped the bill would be a national model in countering modern day slavery when he signed it into law last year. The bill, he said, would end "a horrific crime that our society cannot abide." But authorities say the law makes it too difficult to prove immigrant workers were being held against their will, one of the criteria for classifying victims of human...

So...what HAVE you learned in the last 25 years?

It was on this day in 1865 that Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant in the Virginia town of Appomattox Court House, marking the end of our Second War for Independence. But April 9 holds an even greater significance: it is the 139th anniversary of the death of these United States of America. The signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, saw the birth of a new nation. It was not a single, monolithic entity but a confederation of free and independent states. Although the original 13 colonies had existed in relative unity...

Canada's next government will face an unavoidable foreign policy crisis. It must find a way to protect Canada's interests and to act responsibly without military means in a world where military capabilities are increasingly central to foreign policy. However, the lack of the hard assets of international affairs is only the underlying cause of this crisis, but not the immediate dilemma confronting the next prime minister. Rather, the next government will find itself trapped by the defence policies and commitments of the outgoing government but unable during its term in office to find a policy fix to avoid the coming...
