(Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)Getty ImagesGas prices are no longer climbing as fast as they were a few weeks ago, but they remain much higher than they were last summer — a fact that is sharpening the debate over gas taxes.AAA put the national average for regular gasoline at $4.26 per gallon on June 3, down from $4.46 a week earlier. Still, that is more than a dollar above the year-ago average of $3.14. For drivers, the distinction between crude…

Breitbart News International Editor Frances Martel said on Sunday during the Breitbart Founders’ Roundtable that Chinese communists cannot understand how a human soul is more valuable than AI — and that’s to the advantage of the United States.

Near the end of the event, Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow asked Martel…

A Conservative Peer has claimed that Brexit boss Nigel Farage has been banned by one of the BBC’s top music programmes, despite it hosting other top party leaders and supposedly being bound by the public broadcaster’s commitment to impartiality. According to an upcoming biography of Lord Ashcroft, BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs programme will never host Reform UK leader Nigel Farage as it did with Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, the Times of London reports. The Tory peer, citing sources from within the British public broadcaster, claimed that Farage has “effectively been blacklisted”…

Remember watching Victoria’s Secret commit suicide a few years ago after it decided to go woke with transvestite models and chubby models and aging models and fat guys in the place of the astonishing beauties that appealed to Normal People and made Victoria’s Secret a household name? Back in 2023, the stock price had nose-dived to less than $15.00. Today, after bringing back classic beauty, the stock sits at over $70.00. Why? Simple. Victoria’s Secret stopped polluting its ads and catalogues with pictures of ugly people in lingerie. Hey, I’m not being mean. No one wants to see me in…

President Donald Trump’s Homeland Security chief trashed Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), who had claimed his agency “is breaking the law at scale.” “I do have an opening statement here, but wow, Senator Murphy, the dangerous claims you made there are flat wrong,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Murphy, in a June 2 afternoon hearing at the Senate Appropriations Committee. Mullin continued: We’re doing the job that Congress gave us the authority to do, and our men and women out there every single day is enforcing laws. If you don’t like the laws, you can change them. We’re not choosing…

Rep. Jay Obernolte is aiming to, by week’s end, unveil a long-awaited discussion draft of bipartisan legislation to impose a federal regulatory framework on artificial intelligence. In an interview Wednesday, the California Republican said negotiators are seeking to resolve some “minutia” pieces of the proposal he’s been working on primarily with Rep. Lori Trahan (D-Mass.). Members involved in talks around the bill have in the last few days started circulating text with some rank and file colleagues, party leaders and industry representatives. GOP leaders are helping to shape the framework, with Speaker Mike Johnson saying in a separate interview Wednesday…

The British government is coming under growing pressure to end longstanding “positive discrimination” policies which sanction the police treating people from various races differently, while cracks appear in the official position that two-tier policing doesn’t exist. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told Parliament on Wednesday that two-tier policing doesn’t exist, a dogged cleaving to the official position even as his own ministers shift beneath him, tacitly accepting that things have to change. The Prime Minister’s insistence on the point in Parliament was followed by an angry haranguing of Brexit pioneer Nigel Farage, whom he accused of “exploiting” the death…

WASHINGTON—Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced on Tuesday that 160 more drugs are being added to the TrumpRx website, where Americans can purchase discounted prescriptions and compare prices. Oz told reporters during Tuesday’s White House press briefing, where he stood in for press secretary Karoline Leavitt, that the additions will now bring the total number of prescriptions offered via TrumpRx.com to more than 750. “I’ve got an announcement that today we are adding 160 more drugs to this site.

The BBC and CNN have rejected an invitation to visit the site of the deadly Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian college dorm Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has urged the participants of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) to begin every conversation with Western journalists with the word “Starobelsk.” Starobelsk is a town in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic where 21 people, mostly teenage girls, were killed and dozens more injured in a multi-wave Ukrainian drone attack on a college dorm on May 22.Western politicians turned a blind eye to the atrocity, while the BBC and CNN rejected an…

New factory orders data released Wednesday by the Census Bureau show the enormous scale of America’s AI infrastructure buildout, with manufacturing orders for computers, networking equipment, power generation, and cooling systems all surging at double-digit rates compared to a year ago. The Census Bureau’s report on manufacturing orders for April showed headline factory orders up 4.8 percent from March — a figure dominated by a one-month surge in commercial aircraft orders. But running beneath the headline number, the year-over-year trend data reveal a coherent, sustained explosion in demand for precisely the goods needed to build, power, and cool AI data…
