American settlers created the United States’ freedom culture, not just the Founders’ words, President Donald Trump said Friday in a Mount Rushmore speech that celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. “There is no American freedom without American culture, and there is no American founding without the American people,” Trump declared. That pitch is very different from progressives’ claims that America’s culture of freedom can be re-created or absorbed by any diverse migrant populations that agree to the civic creed outlined in the Declaration of Independence.  The progressives’ “creedal nation” theme has been pushed by pro-migration advocates such…

After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, two concepts entered common political usage, the “war of necessity” and the “war of choice.” The first meant territorial defense and national survival and the second, a war launched not in response to an immediate attack but by calculation and design. The terms were popularized by the American commentator Charles Krauthammer, and later developed by Richard Haass, who used them to assess the US intervention in Iraq in 2003.The Bush administration launched that war not because Iraq posed an immediate threat to the United States, but because Washington chose to act, guided…

According to the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, an unattended vehicle parked along Yount Street was struck, leaving it with heavy damage to the rear.

Hakeem Jeffries is signaling how he’ll handle the issue most deeply dividing his party. In short: very carefully. U.S. support for Israel has emerged as a major internal Democratic fault line and portends to be a stinging headache for Jeffries next year as Israel skeptic after skeptic wins the party’s primaries. Jeffries’ unenviable position came into starker contrast last week. The minority leader barely dodged a Democratic reckoning as his party debated whether to support a Republican-led measure to cut off aid to Israel. As Democrats wrestled with how to approach that politically thorny vote, Jeffries offered little guidance, preferring…

A 22-year-old man born in Italy to migrant parents allegedly stabbed a 55-year-old man in Milan over the weekend before reportedly proclaiming “I had fun, as soon as I get out, I’ll do it again” to the police officers that arrested him. Italian outlets described the perpetrator on Sunday as Lamin Saidilly, a man born in the town of Conegliano, Veneto, to migrant parents from Gambia. Saidilly suddenly stabbed Gerardo Pastore, 55,  while the victim was having breakfast and conversing with his elderly father at La Giada, a cafe in Milan. Rai News reports that on Saturday morning Saidilly inflicted “about twenty”…

As Americans celebrate Independence Day and the nation’s 250th birthday, patriotic artist Scott LoBaido is creating what he says is the largest oil painting of the American flag on canvas in the United States as thousands of visitors watch each day at the Great American State Fair’s Made in America Pavilion on the National Mall, paying tribute to Old Glory and the ideals it represents. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, LoBaido said the project, titled Forever, commemorates America’s Semiquincentennial while honoring the service members, veterans, first responders, and generations of Americans whose sacrifices safeguarded the nation’s freedoms. “As…

It happens quickly, in just a blink…

Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles claimed her country is meeting the “capability targets” set by NATO — despite President Donald Trump’s repeated warnings the Socialist government in Madrid keeps failing to uphold the bloc’s spending commitments. Spain, led by the administration of socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is one of the worst-contributing members of NATO. The European nation has repeatedly refused to fulfill NATO’s five percent GDP in defense spending goal, prompting fierce criticism from President Trump over the past year. In June, speaking at the White House alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Trump described Spain as a “horror show” over…

America is amazing because we acknowledged God as a country at our founding and recognized that rights came from Him – our Creator – allowing “ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.” The words of “America’s Real Anchorman,” the late Rush Limbaugh, still ring true as America celebrates its 250th anniversary. During one of his broadcasts, Limbaugh discussed the mystery of what makes America so special. “You ever wonder how it is, and why it became so that a population at any one time of less than 300 million people created the highest standard of living, progress, economic, political, education – any standard…

A giant wave of departures is set to hit Capitol Hill’s tax writing committees in the next Congress, jumpstarting the competition to fill some critical gaps in institutional knowledge and ideological representation across two powerful panels. On the House Ways and Means Committee, three Democrats plan to leave office next year: Reps. Lloyd Doggett of Texas, Danny Davis of Illinois and Dwight Evans of Pennsylvania. Two others — Reps. Tom Suozzi of New York and Steven Horsford of Nevada — are not guaranteed to prevail in tight races, which would create additional openings. Four Ways and Means Republicans — Reps.…
