An executive order signed by President Joe Biden has focused on registering convicts to vote and exclusively involved left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs), an investigation from the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project revealed. In March 2021, Biden signed an executive order titled “Promoting Access to Voting,” which he billed as a “nonpartisan” government-wide effort to “expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process. Two months after the order was signed, the Biden administration held a “Listening Session” with several NGOs — all of which identified with the Democrat party or left-wing policy...

Former Republican congressional candidate Bryan E. Leib has officially entered the 2024 GOP primary in the Sunshine State’s 25th District, advocating for fresh leadership in Congress to uphold “common sense,” Judeo-Christian values, and Trump’s “America First” agenda; he is challenging long-serving Democrat Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Thursday, communications strategist Bryan E. Leib, a senior fellow at the Center for Fundamental Rights and a former Republican congressional candidate, announced his candidacy “because we don’t need more baby boomers serving in Congress,” he said. “They tear down our statues, they burn down police stations,...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says the FBI has his phone after someone tried to scam him by impersonating a communication from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), raising the possibility that one of the senators’ phones was hacked. “My phone is in the hands of the FBI now,” Graham said at the Hill & Valley Forum in remarks reported by The Washington Times. “So I get a message, I think, from Schumer, it ain’t from Schumer, and next thing you know, my phone’s, I don’t know what. Anything you can create apparently can be hacked.” Taylor Reidy, a spokesperson for...

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) received a stunning rebuke Wednesday on what should have been a slam-dunk resolution to oppose antisemitism followed by a rare procedural defeat on legislation to clarify mining regulations. The events, hours after Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) announced they would force a vote to expel Johnson, do little to show Johnson has a firm hand on the wheel. The Antisemitism Awareness Act, introduced by Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Jared Moskowitz (R-FL), would mandate that when the Department of Education enforces federal anti-discrimination laws it uses a definition of antisemitism put forward...

Former President Trump declined to commit to accepting Wisconsin’s November election results in an interview Wednesday, the latest instance of Trump hedging over whether he will contest the results of the election. “If everything’s honest, I’d gladly accept the results,” Trump told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview Wednesday. “If it’s not, you have to fight for the right of the country. “But if everything’s honest, which we anticipate it will be — a lot of changes have been made over the last few years — but if everything’s honest, I will absolutely accept the results,” he added. Trump...

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R), who has been under the microscope this week for an anecdote about killing her dog, defended her actions Wednesday, saying she shot the “dangerous” pup in order to protect her children. “It was a dog that was extremely dangerous,” Noem said Wednesday on Fox News’s “Hannity.” “It had come to us from a family who had found her way too aggressive.” “We were her second chance. And she was — the day she was put down was a day that she massacred livestock that were part of our neighbors,” she continued. “She attacked me....

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Monday on “Deadline” that freedom of the press could end if former President Donald Trump wins re-election in November. Wallace said, “The annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner is one of the symptoms, one of the signs of a healthy, functioning democracy.” She continued, “It’s a coming together and, at its core, the president doing everything right celebrates and honors the free press. Behind the levity, though, there was something darker, a darker undercurrent, if you will, and a point that the president had to make. And it was more profoundly serious. Because at this exact...

Vice President Kamala Harris continued her 2024 abortion tour in Jacksonville, Florida, to rail against the state’s six-week abortion restriction that went into effect Wednesday and to cast blame on former President Donald Trump. Harris spoke for about 15 minutes at the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center in Downtown Jacksonville, where she not only slammed the state’s heartbeat bill, but also decried abortion restrictions in other states that have been passed or gone into effect since the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs decision in June of 2022. The Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade — which had for 50...

Embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson, who will face a historic vote next week in the House of Representatives to remove his gavel and strip him of the Speakership, is plummeting among Republicans and supporters of former President Donald Trump and surging among Democrats and supporters of Democrat President Joe Biden. When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) calls the privileged resolution on a motion to vacate Johnson from the Speakership, Democrats intend to vote to save Johnson’s job by voting for the motion to table Greene’s resolution. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, the top Democrat in the House who has essentially...

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) criticized the motion to vacate that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is bringing against him next week in an effort to oust him from the Speaker’s office. After Greene announced at a press conference Wednesday that she would move on her motion, Johnson—who has repeatedly broken the Hastert Rule and caved on Ukraine aid with no border funding—called the motion “wrong.” “This motion is wrong for the Republican Conference, wrong for the institution, and wrong for the country,” he said, according to CNN Capitol Hill reporter Melanie Zanona.

Liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said Monday on CNN’s “The Source” that the college protests were a danger to President Joe Biden being re-elected in November. Partial transcript as follows: KAITLAN COLLINS: There’s a CNN poll that showed today 81 percent of voters, who are under the age of 35 disapprove of how President Biden has been handling this war. I mean, we’re seeing it on campuses. There is a question of what we’re going to see in November. I wonder what you think he should be doing differently to change those numbers. MOORE: Thank you for asking that question,...

Joe Biden’s aides spliced a 24-second scripted video of the president eight times, raising concerns about whether he can deliver simple remarks without mistakes. About one-third of Democrats doubt Biden’s mental fitness, a Harvard/Harris survey recently found. Another poll revealed 82 percent of Americans harbor concerns about his physical and mental health. Only about one-third of voters say Biden is physically or mentally fit to serve a second term, Quinnipiac found. Politicians often record remarks on camera for social media, but few short videos are as heavily edited as Biden’s 24-second video. The exception to the repeated jump cuts would...

Hillary Clinton is the latest Democrat to troll South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) after she detailed in a forthcoming book how she shot her dog. “Still true,” Clinton wrote Monday on the social platform X above a 2021 post that read, “Don’t vote for anyone you wouldn’t trust with your dog.” Noem, who has been discussed as a possible running mate for former President Trump, has come under fire in recent days after The Guardian reported on an excerpt from her book that detailed how she shot “Cricket,” her nearly 14-month-old dog. Noem shot the wirehaired pointer in a...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) pushed back on comparisons between the politically damaging dog stories that plagued both his and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem’s (R) potential bids for the White House. During Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, a decades-old story about him tying his dog Seamus to the roof of his car on a family road trip became a political headache for the then-Republican candidate for the White House. Now, more than a decade later, Noem faces a similar political firestorm that could doom her chances of being selected as former President Trump’s running mate in 2024. But Romney rejected the...

Some Democrats reportedly fear a political backlash in November from the increasing anti-Israel protests on university campuses. With election day on November 5 just 187 days away, the protests dominated news cycles for weeks, but it is unknown how long they will continue. It is also uncertain whether the protests will remain relevant in voters minds at the time of the election. To head off any potential blowback in November, Democrat lawmakers raised concerns about the growing threat to their political future.

Democratic Buffalo state Sen. Tim Kennedy defeated Republican West Seneca Supervisor Gary Dickson in Tuesday’s New York special election to replace longtime former Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY). Kennedy jumped out to a massive 78.4%-21.6% lead over Dickson when the Associated Press projected it to go in his favor, at 9:17 p.m. “We did it. We did it as a COMMUNITY,” Kennedy wrote on X. “Because that’s what this was all about since Day One. And that’s what it will always be about.” “I’m honored. I’m humbled. I’m ready to get to Washington and get to work,” he added.

Founder of Republican Voters Against Trump Sarah Longwell said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that former president Donald Trump’s plans for a second term were “terrifying.” Host Jake Tapper said, “What struck you most about the Time magazine interview?” Longwell said, “Just how much Donald Trump talked about what he wanted to do going forward. I got to tell you this piece was it is terrifying, but also so important that everybody go read it because there has been so little attention paid to what Donald Trump says. He’s going to do in his next time, there’s a lot of...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski stated that Columbia students breaking into a campus building overnight “looked exactly like January 6.” While Brzezinski’s fellow co-host Joe Scarborough stated that people who were justifiably offended by January 6 and Charlottesville are equivocating on the campus disorder. Scarborough said, “Well, what did that look like, what did those kids look like when they were breaking the windows?”

Documentarian Michael Moore has sent a warning to President Joe Biden, saying his chance of losing the election in November is “so great” due to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. Michael Moore appeared Monday on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins. During the segment, Collins referenced a recent poll showing that 81 percent of voters age 18 to 35 disapprove of Biden’s handling of the conflict in the Middle East.

Actress-turned-talk-show-host Drew Barrymore told Vice President Kamala Harris, “We need you to be ‘Momala’ of the country.” “I’ve been thinking that we really all need a tremendous hug in the world right now, but in our country, we need you to be ‘momala’ of the country,” Barrymore said, to which Harris replied, “Yeah, I mean, yeah, no, I know.” Watch Below: Drew Barrymore to Kamala Harris: “We need you to be ‘Momala’ of the country” pic.twitter.com/tnqM0huxrK — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) April 29, 2024 Barrymore’s bizarre comment was met with mockery and confusion among social media users. “No, we don’t.
