Peruvian lawmaker Ilich López on Wednesday announced he will collect signatures from his peers to start an impeachment process against Marxist interim President José María Balcázar over his handling of an F-16 fighter jet deal with the U.S. López, who serves as third vice president of the Peruvian Congress, spoke with RPP on Wednesday and accused Balcázar of violating his constitutional obligation to guarantee Peru’s national defense in his handling of the F-16 deal with the United States. A series of conflicting public statements has so far led to the resignation of Balcázar’s defense and foreign ministers. Both ministers left from their positions on…

Borrowing costs for U.S. homebuyers continued their downward slide, with the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate falling to 6.23 percent from 6.3 percent a week earlier, according to data released Thursday by Freddie Mac. The rate stood nearly six-tenths of a percentage point below its level of 6.81 percent a year ago. The sustained decline marks a reprieve for a housing market still adjusting to the volatility that followed the outbreak of the Iran conflict in late February. That escalation sent rates higher as investors priced in the odds of the Fed delaying interest rate cuts, temporarily stalling momentum in…

The Supreme Court of Spain on Wednesday accepted an appeal request spearheaded by Isabel Díaz Ayuso, President of the Community of Madrid, against the mass amnesty plan for illegal migrants being executed by the socialist government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Heavily skewed towards individual consumerism, they downplay tradition and paint the growth of human population as a problem – to the point where family is seen as an atavism and ‘child-free’…

Iranian leaders insisted on Thursday that they could not allow the free flow of commercial transit in the Strait of Hormuz because the United States has continued to enforce a blockade on Iranian ships using the maritime byway, indicating continued Iranian intransigence hampering attempts at peace talks. The commentary followed the initial conclusion, and then extension of, a two-week ceasefire initiated by the United States against Iran to create space for talks to end the current conflict. The conflict began on February 28, when President Donald Trump announced that the Pentagon had launched Operation Epic Fury to degrade Iran’s ability…

Pretty Vacant: The End of Powell’s Term Is Three Weeks Away It is not clear who will run the Fed after the expiration of Powell’s term if the Senate has not confirmed Kevin Warsh. As we explained yesterday, Senator Thom Tillis, the Republican of North Carolina, is sticking to his script about holding back Warsh’s confirmation so long as U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s investigation of the Fed continues. And Pirro says she’s not dropping the investigation. So, the end of Powell’s term without a confirmed successor is looking more and more like a real possibility. Time is running out. Powell’s term…

DELPHI, Greece — Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told Breitbart News he is pulling for U.S. President Donald Trump to secure a deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran to end hostilities in the Middle East and restore stability to the region, opening the Strait of Hormuz and helping the world’s energy markets recover from the last couple months of “economic fallout.” Mitsotakis sat down with Breitbart News for an exclusive interview on the sidelines of the Delphi Economic Forum, an annual gathering of world leaders held here in the mountains of Greece. Mitsotakis’s interview comes about a year after…

The Prime Minister paradoxically used the feast day of England’s patron saint to simultaneously insist “unity” is key while ranting about Englishmen he feels betray the multicultural project. Thursday is Saint George’s Day, a feast commemorating the day of the execution of the warrior saint and Christian martyr who through ancient Royal involvement in the Crusades and veneration of his example latterly became the national day of England. The St. George’s Cross and banner also became the symbol and later of England, albeit by a slightly different route as a maritime flag of convenience. While other saint’s days of the…
