Pro-Second Amendment legislation is flooding the U.S. Capitol under President Donald Trump and Gabby Giffords’ gun control group, Giffords, best response to date is to claim Trump is protecting “gun CEO profits.” Giffords posted to X: What Giffords calls a “special interest task force” is, in actuality, a Second Amendment Task Force announced last week by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Breitbart News noted that task force was created to prevent 2A rights from being treated like second class rights. NBC News published parts of the memo Bondi used to announce the task force, wherein she emphasized, “For too long, the...

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Donald Trump would continue to work at “break-neck speed” when Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle asked about the president’s swift pace during Tuesday’s press briefing. Boyle and Axios co-founder Mike Allen received the first two questions of the first briefing of the second Trump adminsitration after Leavitt announced a “new media seat,” which is situated where White House press secretary staff usually sits. “You laid out several of the actions that President Trump has taken. Obviously, it’s a stark contrast from the previous administration, the break-neck speed from President...

President Donald Trump revealed that he would be “working with Congress to get a bill” on his desk that passed a “massive tax cut for American workers and families,” and kept his promise on “no tax on tips.” During a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, Trump spoke about how one of the things at the top of his administration’s agenda was to work to pass a bill to make the Trump tax cuts permanent and keep his campaign promise on ending the taxation of tips. Trump added that for restaurant workers, servers, valets, or bartenders, or “any other...

Democrats are trying to figure out how they lost massive numbers of working class voters in historically blue areas across the country — but the evidence shows that the party simply left them behind. USA Today interviewed multiple former Democrats in the liberal enclave of Massachusetts who cast their votes for President-elect Donald Trump in the recent election, and their main reason was the economy. Mark Callahan, a 67-year-old from Lynn, a suburb of Boston, voted Democrat in nearly every presidential election prior to this year. Now, he said he hopes that Trump will “make a change.”

You want some hard truths about the democrat party? Well, allow me to give you some. I am a historian, and I have the paperwork to prove it and I have been involved with politics since I worked on Reagan's first campaign. I know the democrat party's history- pretty interesting stuff when you get into it. The democrat party has ALWAYS been the party of the wealthy elite- the plantation owners with their feudalistic, two tier caste system and slavery. They were willing to kill 300k o their own citizens and 340k of OURS to hold on to it with...

He feels berned by the Dems. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) unleashed a blistering takedown of the Democratic Party in the wake of its dramatic spate of losses on Election Day. “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” the Democratic socialist said in a fiery statement on X. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And...

McDonald’s released a statement Sunday admitting it has no record of Kamala Harris ever working there, as she has repeatedly claimed. This deepening scandal, which social media has dubbed Stolen McValor, finally got the spotlight it deserved Sunday when former President Trump spent some time making French fries and working the drive-thru at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s. It was a win-win for the man now widely seen as the 2024 frontrunner. He had the opportunity to show off his charming side and ability to connect with everyday people while pointing to what looks more and more like a shameless lie in...

A top globalist politician once hailed as the “Trump whisperer” who is now the Secretary General of NATO says he foresees a good relationship with whoever wins the U.S. Presidential elections next month, disarming some legacy criticism that Donald Trump is somehow a danger to the Western alliance. Former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has been the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) for 11 days, a position he secured to some extent on his strength as a rare internationalist-globalist who publicly made nice with President Trump while he was in office. He visited London on Thursday...

Many companies have fired Gen Z workers just months after hiring them and several business owners said they are hesitant to bring on recent college graduates due to concerns about their work ethic, communication skills and readiness to do the job, according to a new survey. Six in 10 employers said they have already let go recent college graduates this year, while one in seven said they are inclined to refrain from hiring new graduates next year, according to a survey conducted by Intelligent.com. Close to 1,000 business leaders participated in the Intelligent.com survey, the results of which were first...

President Biden said he believes a cease-fire deal in the Israel-Hamas war is “still possible” before the end of his Oval Office term in just more than five months. When asked on “CBS News Sunday Morning” if a cease-fire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas is attainable, Biden said, “Yes, it’s still possible.” “The plan I put together endorsed by the G7, endorsed by the … U.N. Security Council, et cetera, is still viable,” Biden added in the interview. “And I’m working literally every single day to — and my whole team, to see to it that it...

President Joe Biden’s border chief says the White House’s border plan “is working.” But the plan is not intended to reduce migration into U.S. communities, homes, and jobs, according to May0rkas, who was impeached in February by the House of Representatives. Instead, the border plan is intended to divert the flood of economic migrants from the cartel-run “irregular migration” pipeline into many expanding government-run quasi-legal pipelines, Mayorkas told NPR Morning Edition‘s Steve Inskeep during a May 10 interview: Inskeep: Do you also have a policy goal to cause fewer people to arrive, fewer people to get in, fewer people to...

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said Friday that the “current approach is not working” in Gaza as he called to increase the flow of humanitarian aid into the besieged strip and provide only defensive weapons to Israel going forward. Kaine said he remains “deeply distressed” by the more than 33,000 Palestinians who have died as Israel fights against the militant group Hamas, along with the tens of thousands of displaced Israeli citizens in northern Israel and the roughly 100 Israeli hostages still believed to be held alive in Gaza. The senator, who sits on both the Armed Services and Foreign Relations...

Gov. Kathy Hochul defended her controversial initiative to flood the city’s public transit system with National Guardsmen, saying it’s going as planned — even as terrified straphangers vowed to avoid the rails after this week’s shooting on a packed A-train. “My objective was to make sure [the National Guard is] in our main transit hubs – you see them at Grand Central [Station] and other places, so they can free up [NYPD cops],” Hochul told reporters at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Midtown Saturday. “So the plan is working as we had expected.”

“Our plan is working,” President Joe Biden told police chiefs in a White House meeting about his crime policies The Wednesday announcement, however, arrived amid a rush of media reports about brutal crimes committed by the unvetted and unidentified migrants that Biden is releasing into the United States. In Georgia, for example, nurse in training Laken Riley was murdered on February 22, and the suspect is a Venezuelan migrant who was welcomed into the United States by Biden’s border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas.

He got iced. Starbucks fired a barista who was toiling to pay for paramedic school after he helped subdue two robbers who pistol-whipped him. Michael Harrison, 20, told The Post he was manning the drive-thru last month when two masked men entered his downtown St. Louis location around noon and told everyone to get on the ground. With one of the invaders waving what appeared to be a gun, the roughly ten employees and one customer present got on their stomachs in terror. Many of them, the aspiring EMT said, were crying in fear.

Wednesday, during an appearance on CNN, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declared that Bidenomics was working. The Biden spokeswoman claimed inflation and wages were going in the right direction, therefore the economic policy was having some success. “We know the polls show that people are pretty sour — at least half of the American people are sour on the economy,” CNN host Victor Blackwell said. “Isn’t that just dangerous getting closer to the election if things take a downturn? I mean, as the CBO predicts, unemployment will get closer to 4.7% by Election Day. That you’ve got a narrative...

During the pandemic, US employers embraced the new––and necessary––normal of working from home. But in the past year, the situation has begun changing rapidly. Major employers like Disney and Amazon have been moving employees back into the office for a few days a week––while over at Twitter, last November Elon Musk scrapped its work from home policy. As for what the wider landscape looks like in the US, a recent study from Pew Research Center shows that while the number of solely remote workers is dropping, hybrid working is becoming increasingly attractive.

Millions of Americans stopped working from home in 2022, with the number of employers reporting some teleworking falling to near pre-pandemic levels, according to a Labor Department report released this past week. About 72 percent of private-sector establishments reported little to no telework among employees in August to September 2022, compared to about 60 percent from July to September of 2021.

The University of Cambridge has been accused of being a “bit racist” after it was revealed that it had initially blocked working-class white students from a post-graduate programme designed for students from underrepresented groups. A post-graduate “participation project” initially barred white students from applying. The programme would offer free accomodation on campus for six weeks, as well as an intern’s wage for 35 hours per week while the students trained in research skills.

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs will be the next governor of Arizona, barring a recount that says otherwise. And when the Democrat is sworn in, she’ll likely thank her handlers privately for their media strategy in getting her over the finish line after looking like the underdog going into Election Day against outspoken Republican Kari Lake. Hobbs embraced the same strategy that served Joe Biden as a candidate and continues to serve him as president: almost entirely avoiding the media, shunning any interviewer who may ask a tough question and rejecting the opportunity to debate an opponent. Hobbs did...
