In Washington, D.C. a new triumphal arch may be built across the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia, to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary. The proposal by architecture firm Harrison Design appears to be the same height—if not taller than—the Lincoln Memorial, which it would face. News of the arch circulated yesterday after Jim Watson photographed 3D-printed scale models of Harrison Design’s proposal at a meeting in the Oval Office between President Trump and Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb. Reporting in The Washington Post said Justin Shubow, president of the National Civic Art Society, presented the idea to Trump earlier this year.

Democrats aren't even hiding it anymore. They're openly threatening to weaponize the government against Donald Trump and anyone who dares stand with him if they manage to claw their way back into power next year. This isn't speculation or paranoia. They're saying the quiet part out loud, and we'd better start taking them seriously. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just laid it all out there during an MSNBC interview while reacting to the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James by a grand jury on mortgage fraud charges. His message: if Democrats win the midterm elections, Trump and his allies are in their crosshairs,

This is sure to make you think twice before you merge onto the interstate anytime soon. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it has arrested in Oklahoma an illegal immigrant named Anmol Anmol, who was driving a tractor trailer with a New York State-issued commercial driver’s license (CDL). While the license appears to have an actual photo of the driver, the name section just says “Anmol No Name Given.” That’s right. To get his CDL to operate an 18-wheeler, he either couldn’t give his name due to the language barrier or he refused to give his name.

This Saturday, October 11, 2025, Palm Beach County Commissioner Gregg Weiss along with Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) Major Christopher Keane and Captain Byron Smith are scheduled to participate in a conference titled “Mercy to Mankind: Celebrating the Life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.” The gathering will take place at the Al-Amin Center of Florida (ACF) in Boynton Beach and is co-sponsored by the South Florida Muslim Federation (SFMF) (of which ACF is a member) and the American Muslim Advocacy Network (AMAN). The participation of these public officials is troubling. SFMF has, in consecutive years, organized pro-Hamas conferences that glorified the perpetrators of the October 7

New York Attorney General Letitia James, long known for her partisan crusade against Donald Trump, has now hired one of Washington’s most notorious Democratic fixers to defend her from criminal charges of her own. James has hired Abbe Lowell — the same high-powered D.C. attorney who represented Hunter Biden — to fight off a federal indictment accusing her of mortgage fraud. According to the indictment, James falsified loan documents when she bought a home in Virginia, netting approximately $19,000 in savings. Lowell issued a brief statement Thursday, declaring that his client “flatly and forcefully denies these charges.”

Donald Trump began his promised mass purge of federal workers Friday, as more than 4,100 people were laid off as the government shutdown rolls on. The president previewed the pink slips in a press conference in the Oval Office earlier Friday, blaming them and the shutdown on the Democrats. 'It'll be a lot and it'll be Democrat-oriented because we figure they started this thing. It'll be a lot of people, all because of the Democrats,' Trump said. It's the biggest set of firings in government since Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) purge early in Trump's second term. The White House budget office said Friday that mass firings

One of the most famous divisions in the U.S. Army officially took over command of the Joint Task Force guarding the southern border on Friday. The 101st Airborne “Screaming Eagles” officially took over command of the JTF Southern Border mission from the 10th Mountain Division in a ceremony Friday at the JTF Headquarters in Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The task force combines more than 10,000 service members from across the Armed Forces to protect the border, which has seen zero migrant releases in the last four months. “This is a real world mission against a living, breathing threat,” Maj. Geoffrey Carmichael of the 10th Mountain Division told

Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills will challenge GOP Sen. Susan Collins' reelection bid in 2026, according to a report. Mills, who must leave her governor's post because of term limits, is tentatively expected to announce her candidacy on Tuesday, according to unnamed sources, the Associated Press reported. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has urged Mills to run, but she met with him only once to discuss the race early this year.

The Trump administration’s approval of a Qatari air force base in Idaho isn’t popular with either of America’s political parties. Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the forthcoming Qatari Emiri Air Force facility in America’s heartland Friday morning, thanking the Middle Eastern nation for playing a “core part” in negotiating the ceasefire between Israel and Palestine. Mountain Home Air Force Base will host Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots, and allow Qatari forces alongside American troops for F-15 pilot training. The move, which stands in stark contrast to the president’s “America first” agenda, seriously rattled some of Donald Trump’s most outspoken supporters. “Never thought I’d see Republicans give terror financing Muslims

Let’s not forget how the Letitia James drama started… Letitia James built her entire career on one promise: to take down President Donald Trump. (snip)Our friends at The Gateway Pundit have done a meticulous deep-dive investigation into Letitia’s financial dealings, and it’s far worse than most people realize. This isn’t some silly oversight or one bad mortgage… not even close. It’s a long-running pattern of deception spanning two states, many properties, and decades of lies.

Well, good news, folks. Things are finally heating up in the DC Swamp, and it’s starting to look like the long arm of justice is stretching in a direction Dems never expected. The swamp’s most protected bad guys are suddenly playing defense, and FBI Director Chris Wray may be next in line. (snip)Now comes word that the Justice Department is running a national security investigation into FBI leadership during Wray’s shameful leadership. This is a massive development that could expose what was really happening inside the Bureau while the Deep State was waging war on President Trump and his supporters. According to reports, investigators are digging into the destruction or mishandling

Like the fictional Captain Ahab in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, New York Attorney General Letitia James had one overriding goal: to destroy the great white creature known as President Donald Trump. And like Ahab, she thought at one point she had succeeded. But if James had been better read, she might have known that she was going to destroy herself and her ship, while “Moby” Trump happily swam off into the sunset. Letitia James ran to become New York State’s attorney general on a single issue: she would destroy Donald Trump.

When Jarred Shaw, an American basketball player in Indonesia, stepped down to the lobby in his apartment complex earlier this year to collect a package containing illegally imported cannabis gummies, he thought that the medicine to ease his Crohn’s disease had arrived. It had – but so too had 10 undercover police officers. A video on social media shows Shaw, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, shouting for help as the swarm of officers move to apprehend him. The 35-year-old from Dallas, Texas, is facing the possibility of the death penalty or a long spell behind bars. He was a key member of Prawira Bandung, who won the Indonesian Basketball League (IBL)

The indefatigable Trump team looks to have achieved the impossible. They secured the support of a diverse and conflicted world for a peace plan in Gaza, they persuaded the parties who mutually hate one another to accept it, and they got it signed. All remaining hostages are being released by Hamas, the Israelis are freeing over 1,000 terrorists and prisoners of war, and Israel has commenced a cease fire and partial withdrawal from Gaza. People are jubilant – in both Israel and Gaza. How many wars end with jubilation on both sides? In Tel Aviv, they’re chanting “Donald Trump!” In Gaza City, they’re chanting . . . well . . . “Donald Trump!”

A man threatened conservative influencer Benny Johnson as part of an 'Antifa' plot to emulate Charlie Kirk's assassination, Pam Bondi said at a fiery press conference Friday. The Attorney General announced charges against a suspect named as George Isbell Jr. as part of a White House crackdown on political violence. Isbell will be prosecuted in connection to threatening communications mailed to Johnson and his wife Kate, which talked about wanting to orphan their children and strangling Johnson 'with an American flag'.

The Pennsylvania Department of State, continuing to defy common sense, is back in court defending its illogical 2018 directive instructing county election boards not to bother verifying mismatched identification at voter registration. Wannabe voters in Pennsylvania must provide either a driver’s license or a Social Security number when registering to vote. The federal Help America Vote Act, HAVA, requires county election officials to collect these identifying numbers and compare them with government databases. Traditionally in Pennsylvania, when the numbers didn’t match, it meant the voter’s identity could not be verified and the voter registration request was denied.

A Virginia grand jury indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, according to reports. A jury of her peers in the Eastern District of Virginia made the decision to indicte James, and while the details of James’ indictment were not immediately available, Reuters reported James was indicted for bank fraud, citing a source familiar with the matter.Notably, James was hit with a criminal referral just recently for alleged mortgage fraud. James allegedly misrepresented property details to secure favorable loan terms — the same thing she took Trump through the wringer for just last year.

Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger was given the chance to withdraw her endorsement of Democrat Attorney General candidate Jay Jones over his fantasies about assassinating a Republican lawmaker — and on multiple occasions, she refused to do so. The moment came Thursday night during the commonwealth’s only gubernatorial debate between Spanberger and GOP Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. The discussion quickly broached the reported past text messages by Jones, in which he mused about assassinating then-Republican State House Speaker Todd Gilbert and wished death upon his children.

First Lady Melania Trump announces the initial results from her joint collaboration effort to reunify displaced children during the Ukraine/Russia conflict. Announcing that she holds a direct line of communication between herself and Russian President Vladimir Putin, First Lady Melania Trump also noted that a personal representative acting on her behalf (perhaps Ric Grenell) has coordinated the safe transfer process for reunification of children both from Ukraine to Russia and from Russia to Ukraine.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Friday that “there seems to be no reason” to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping as part of an upcoming trip to South Korea after China restricted exports of rare earths needed for American industry. The Republican president suggested that he was looking at a “massive increase” of import taxes on Chinese products in response to Xi’s moves. “One of the Policies that we are calculating at this moment is a massive increase of Tariffs on Chinese products coming into the United States of America,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “There are many other countermeasures that are, likewise, under serious consideration.”

Sex offender Richard Kenneth Cox claimed to be transgender in order to access women’s bathrooms and locker rooms in Virginia where he exposed himself to women and young girls. When he reached out to a local school board member using an alias to complain about a pool’s locker-room policy and the alleged transphobic treatment he faced, he received a sympathetic reply. Arlington School Board member Kathleen Clark told Cox that she hoped he “did not experience transphobic statements from the staff. You should be able to use the showers

The cost for that Disney magic is going up. Walt Disney World has confirmed that it is raising prices on its theme park tickets, annual passes, and on some annual pass renewals. Disney World previously implemented "dynamic pricing," which means daily tickets to its theme parks vary by theme park, day, and demand. That will continue. Beginning during the 2026 holiday season, Disney confirmed that the highest ticket price point – only on its busiest days – could top $200 per person for a one-park, one-day ticket.

On Tuesday, the Minnesota Star Tribune sponsored an event for wealthy liberals at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. It featured JB Pritzker, the Governor of Illinois, and our own Tim Walz. Walz is a lot like Pritzker, except for the billionaire part. Pritzker and Walz portrayed themselves as valiant resistance fighters: Govs. Tim Walz and J.B. Pritzker told an audience in Minneapolis on Tuesday they believe their criticism of President Donald Trump could result in both of them being arrested by the federal government. The Democratic governors of Minnesota and Illinois also said they fear the Trump administration will try to use military and National Guard troops to target

Katie Porter’s “unhappy experience” in a viral interview has become the news cycle from hell. The bipartisan pile-on following the widely-circulated clip of her contentious sit-down with a local CBS news reporter was only hours old when a new video surfaced from POLITICO of the former House member berating a staffer in 2021 — the two clips fueling long-simmering concerns about her temperament and judgment. Together, they suddenly boiled over into the broader political zeitgeist, raising questions about just how durable Porter’s lead in California’s gubernatorial race really is. “Is this a disaster? Yes,” said Gale Kaufman, a veteran Democrat

Abigail Spanberger’s campaign for governor of Virginia took a major hit Wednesday night when she refused—repeatedly—to answer a simple question during the Virginia gubernatorial debate: does she still endorse Jay Jones for attorney general after his violent text messages came to light? The exchange, moderated by Deanna Allbrittin of WRIC, was terrible for Spanberger as she twisted herself into rhetorical knots to avoid giving a clear answer. Her opponent, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, wasted no time pointing out what everyone watching could see—Spanberger was dodging. It began when the moderator tried to clarify an earlier non-answer. “Thank you, Ms. Spanberger. I just… I didn’t hear an answer there on the endorsement issue,

October is a month for political surprises, it’s been said. But one turn of events this month was not the least bit shocking. We’ve been following the flameout of the electric vehicle for years. It was quite predictable. Up until Oct. 1, Americans could reel in generous federal subsidies in exchange for buying an electric vehicle. A new EV or plug-in hybrid pulled down a $7,500 tax credit. A used EV or plug-in got $4,000. Now those subsidies are gone, thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, and EV sales are expected

Former President Barack Obama on Thursday hailed the Gaza cease-fire deal brokered by President Trump – but failed to mention the commander in chief’s name. The glaring omission of “Trump” in Obama’s social media post celebrating that the “end to the conflict is within sight” outraged administration officials, the president’s supporters and members of his family on X. “After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families;

In yesterday’s Breitbart Business Digest, we examined a new working paper from Jared Bernstein and Daniel Posthumus that documented the decline of U.S. manufacturing employment, particularly the devastating 2000-2010 “China Shock” period when 5.7 million factory jobs disappeared. While the authors called this period “destructive” and urged preventing future shocks, they insisted that “sweeping” tariffs were not the right policy. Their reasoning was undermined by a significant contradiction: they claim tariffs would disrupt American manufacturing because we’re too dependent on foreign inputs, yet they simultaneously advocate for subsidies for sectors vulnerable to foreign export controls.

The committee chose to focus on Venezuela in a year where U.S. President Donald Trump featured heavily in speculation as to the overall winner, given his unceasing efforts to bring peace to a variety of conflicts around the world. Trump said previously it would be an “insult” to the United States if he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize and he has been backed in his quest by a host of other nations, as Breitbart News reported. “She is receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela, and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,”

Pro-Palestinian agitators accused of being behind a riot Tuesday are now being charged with "promotion of anarchy" after the melee left several officers injured. The Boston Herald reported that the Suffolk District Attorney’s Office on Thursday upgraded charges for all 13 suspects, who are now accused of violating a state law that makes "promotion of anarchy" illegal and is a felony charge, according to court documents. Between 200 and 300 people participated in a pro-Palestinian demonstration in downtown Boston that quickly descended into a riot. The DA's office upgraded charges after a review of posters promoting the so-called protest, which feature a quote from a Hamas spokesperson and a burning

Los Angeles firefighters did not use thermal imaging technology to detect lingering embers underground after a New Year’s Day fire in Pacific Palisades that flared up days later to become one of the most destructive infernos in the city’s history. Interim Fire Chief Ronnie Villanueva said in an interview Wednesday that fire officials decided against employing the technology, which would have pinpointed heat underground, because of the fire’s eight-acre size. In the 36-plus hours that crews spent mopping up, firefighters “cold trailed” the perimeter, chopping a line around the fire and feeling for residual heat. They packed up and returned the next day, after a report of smoke

The Washington Post, even after owner Jeff Bezos's shakeups, is anything but a publication friendly to Republicans or the Trump administration. But even members of the legacy media sometimes have to admit the obvious. One of those is Washington Post Marc A. Thiessen, who on Thursday penned a piece making the case for President Trump being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This isn't a new notion; the idea's been kicked around before. But the calls seem to be getting louder. Not only does Donald Trump deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, but there has arguably never been an American president who deserved it more.

MELBOURNE, Florida — The Florida man accused of sparking the flames that burned swaths of Los Angeles to the ground in the Palisades Fire posted on social media about how global warming causes wildfires. Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, regularly took to Facebook to share posts about eco-apocalypses, mocking President Trump and his supporters, and pushing people to become vegans. One article he shared – “Climate Change Will Force a New American Migration,” from ProPublica – even included a thumbnail showing wildfires raging across a California hillside neighborhood. That 2020 story opened by discussing blazing West Coast temperatures. It’s eerily – and ironically – similar to the situation Rinderknecht is accused

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made a shocking announcement about enlistment after ridding the U.S. military of its woke invasion, and he credited President Donald Trump's leadership as the main reason. During Trump's cabinet meeting at the White House on Thursday, Hegseth revealed that recruitment and reenlistment were at record levels, exceeding goals they had set for the year. "We saw record recruitment in 2025, Mr. President," Hegseth said in front of the press. "The first two weeks of [Fiscal Year] 2026 [which starts in October] already blows that out …[FY 2026] already blows it out the water." "In fact, reenlistment has already reached
