Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) criticized House Democrat leaders after Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) admitted that she had spoken to ambassadors from Mexico and other countries to get oil to Cuba. During a press briefing on Cuba on Tuesday, Jayapal spoke about how, in January, President Donald Trump had signed an executive order “declaring a national emergency over the threats to America posed by Cuba.” In a post on X, Scott responded to Jayapal’s comments in which she described the sanctions against countries giving oil to Cuba, and firms and banks working with Cuba, as “an economic bombing of the infrastructure of…
The Department of Homeland Security has restarted processing visas for thousands of foreign doctors from 39 high-risk countries who have been hired by U.S. hospitals. Pro-migration advocates are celebrating what they hope will be a greater foreign inflow into American hospitals: It “is a great development for physicians and health care in the U.S.,” lawyer Curtis Morrison, who works for employers, told the New York Times. But the renewed inflow is bad for American patients and bad for the many Americans who want to become doctors, said Kevin Lynn, the director of the Institute for Sound Public Policy. “This year, over…
Rep. Ken Calvert (R-CA) picked up a valuable endorsement Tuesday in his incumbent-on-incumbent primary from a rising Republican star. Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) endorsed Calvert over Rep. Young Kim (R-CA), he told Breitbart News exclusively. “It comes down to two things,” Gill explained to Breitbart. “One is that Ken Calvert is a huge defender and supporter of the president. And number two, he’s got a fantastic record on immigration, which I think is the most important issue that we have in front of us today.” Calvert and Kim are running in California’s 40th Congressional District after mid-decade redistricting further gerrymandered…
The desecration in southern Lebanon follows earlier incidents in which Israeli troops were accused of damaging Christian sites A photograph appearing to show an Israeli soldier placing a cigarette in the mouth of a statue of the Virgin Mary in southern Lebanon has sparked outrage online. The image, which surfaced on Wednesday, was reportedly taken in the predominantly Christian village of Dibil, near the border with Israel, and uploaded to social media by IDF soldiers. In a statement to RT, the IDF said it views the incident “with utmost severity” and that the soldier’s conduct “completely deviates” from its values. The…
Steve Hilton, the leading Republican candidate for California governor, told voters on Tuesday that he wants to grow the state’s economy through innovation and productivity, not by increasing the state’s illegal migrant population. Hilton’s economic strategy is very different from that of Democrats, who want to grow California’s economy by extracting low-wage workers, welfare-funded consumers, and apartment-sharing renters from poor countries, and then shielding them from federal law enforcement within Democratic-enforced “sanctuary state” amnesty-enclave laws. The Democrats’ strategy was described by Katie Porter, one of the Democratic candidates in the TV debate on Tuesday night: The sanctuary state policy is…
Bill Wells, the Republican mayor of El Cajon, California, said leftist immigration policies have made the state unsafe, discussing the consequences of Democrat open border policies during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily. Wells spoke about these realities in light of a lawsuit regarding their police department. Essentially, the lawsuit states that their police officers are always “violating some law” every day – whether federal law or state law, as they both conflict. “Federal law is very clear that anybody who aids or abets somebody illegally here in this country is committing a felony, and vice versa. If they do follow…
Pussy Riot and FEMEN’s Venice Biennale protest showed the version of Ukraine the EU knows how to consume: obedient and stripped for export Yellow and blue smoke rose, and out of it appeared a pair of breasts with “RUSSIA KILLS” written across bare skin. The performance was optimized for the press preview circuit, providing free self-pleasuring material for the Ukrainian-flags-in-bio crowd and their patriarchy-fighting-for-easy-body-access comrades alike.The Venice Biennale! A handful of balaclava-wearing half-naked performance artists from Pussy Riot and FEMEN barricaded the Russian pavilion for all of 30 minutes to protest against its opening in support of Ukraine. Nadya Tolokonnikova, Pussy…
I have said for years that people misunderstand the global monetary system. It is not driven by trade balances. It is driven by capital flows and access to dollar liquidity. The discussion of a currency swap between the United States and the United Arab Emirates shows how the system actually works under stress. The United States is now considering a currency swap with the UAE as tensions around Iran rise. This is not about trade policy. It is about liquidity. When uncertainty increases, capital begins to move. Countries need dollars to stabilize their financial systems and maintain confidence. Currency swaps…
On Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN NewsNight,” CNN Senior Commentator Van Jones responded to some Democrats demanding the Trump administration disclose Israel has a nuclear program by saying that there’s no national security purpose behind the move and “it just seems like there are a whole bunch of people in my party who just like throwing rocks at Israel.” Jones said, “What is the point? We already know that they have nukes. If the United States forces them to cough up the furball, how is that in the interests of the United States? I just don’t — I’m sure there’s some…
The Trump administration released a report on Tuesday that estimated that President Donald Trump’s deals with pharmaceutical companies would save $529 billion over the next ten years. Affordability has become a top issue for voters as the country moves ever closer to the November midterm elections, which could determine if Republicans will continue to hold the House and Senate majorities. Trump has focused his efforts on cutting deals with drug companies so that the cost of prescription drugs in the country would no longer be substantially higher than other developed nations. The White House Council of Economic Advisers found that…
