WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump believes that Democrats’ focus on affordability is more of a means to try to win midterm elections to begin the impeachment process than it is sincere. During an Oval Office event on deregulation Thursday, Breitbart News asked Trump whether he believes Democrats are genuine in their focus on affordability or if their focus on affordability is rooted in a desire to win the midterms so they can start the impeachment process. The president said he believes the Democrats’ focus on affordability is about the midterms. “Yeah, the second. The Democrats had the highest inflation in the history of…

After losing his primary to former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein,  incumbent U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is about to have a lot more time on his hands to hate Jews and pretend he cares about Jeffrey Epstein’s victims. While it’s glorious that this self-regarding narcissist lost, even more glorious is that he got himself humiliated by a ten-point margin — ten points — 55 to 45 percent, with 99 percent of the vote counted. Wait, there’s more… If you want to understand President Trump’s ability to deliver votes, the math is pretty remarkable. In his 2024 primary battle, Massie won…

Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN) is urging United States Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer to block China from infiltrating the U.S. auto industry by using Mexico and Canada to ship to the U.S. tariff-free, Breitbart News exclusively learned. In a letter to Greer ahead of next week’s U.S.-Mexico bilateral United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) meetings, Banks asked Greer to “prioritize strengthened guardrails that protect American automakers from China’s efforts to gain market  share within the North American auto industry.” “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has Canadian markets with subsidized autos, and displace American workers in the process.

Ron Wyden (D-OR), also a member of the committee, to send a letter to Gabbard and the Justice Department to declassify a 702 court opinion. The Brennan Center for Justice wrote that the Justice Department learned in August…

Anti-communist dissidents throughout Cuba organized a campaign on Wednesday, the anniversary of the nation’s independence from Spain, praying for divine intervention to free the island and calling for President Donald Trump to aid their cause. The campaign consisted of Cubans on the island holding up signs in public reading “God Save Cuba, SOS Trump.” Such public displays of support for the American president and opposition to the Communist Party are highly dangerous under the Castro regime, which violently punishes any perceived defense. The Party regularly engages in public beatings of dissidents and mass arrests of individuals suspected to oppose the…

Business investment tied to information processing equipment, software, data centers, manufacturing, and power facilities now amounts to nearly six percent of GDP, according to a recent analysis from Renaissance Macro’s Neil Dutta.

Caterpillar, Vertiv, Eaton, Cummins, GE Vernova, and other industrial firms now move closely with semiconductor stocks because, as Dutta put it,…
