Senate Panel Votes 8-5 to Hold Anthony Fauci in Contempt of Congress

Breitbart

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday voted to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief pled the Fifth well over 100 times during his testimony before lawmakers last week.

Chairman Rand Paul (R-KY) announced the 8-5 committee vote on Thursday morning.

In an all caps post, Paul wrote, “PASSED BY REPUBLICANS ON BEHALF OF THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS AND THEIR FAMILIES STILL AFFECTED YEARS AFTER THE COVID PANDEMIC, THE RESOLUTION TO HOLD ANTHONY FAUCI IN CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS HAS PASSED OUT OF THE SENATE HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE BY A VOTE OF 8-5.”

Paul explained prior to the vote that lawmakers were voting on “whether a witness, who has received the benefit of a sweeping federal pardon, can be ordered

Mike Rowe: If Democrats Embrace Their DSA Faction, 'It'll Be the Largest Political Blunder in My Lifetime'

Breitbart

Mike Rowe said if the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) “continue to grow in popularity, and the Democrats actually campaign on their behalf, I think it’ll be the largest political blunder in my lifetime.”

“I’m not what you’d call a keen observer of the political climate in our country, but I do pay attention, broadly, to what’s going on within our two parties,” Rowe began in a Sunday X post, sharing a monologue from a recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher.

“Watching the latest from @billmaher, I was reminded of how we struggle to reconcile our support for an idea we might like, if it's promoted by a politician we hate. And vice versa,” the Dirty Jobs star continued.

“Here though, we have an opportunity — Democrats, in particular —

'Youngest Black Professor' Jason Arday Resigns Cambridge After PhD Plagiarism, Fake Books, Intimidation Claims

Breitbart

The youngest black professor ever at the University of Cambridge has resigned after the institution announced it was finally launching an investigation into allegations of plagiarism, as other claims of potentially fake hate crimes and alleged embellishment of his CV swirl.

Erstwhile Professor of sociology of education Jason Arday at the prestigious University of Cambridge and Jesus College Cambridge tendered his immediate resignation overnight, a sudden change in course after months of punchy denials from both the academic and the institution over probity claims that range from allegedly faked publications, alleged thesis plagiarism, to claims of alleged acts of physical intimidation against him.

Arday’s letter of resignation went long on promoting his own achievements, but fell short of any admission of wrongdoing or an apology, and indeed insisted that “This is not the end of my work. It is simply the end of this chapter”. Reflecting on his appointment as professor at Cambridge in 2023, Arday claimed “Thousands celebrated not simply my appointment, but what it represented: that talent, perseverance and hope can triumph over even the greatest adversity”, and lamented what he described as a campaign of harassment against him since.

He wrote: “Sadly, the years

NYT: Moderate Democrats Gear Up for 'War that Is Coming' with Democratic Socialists

Breitbart

The leader of a moderate Democrat group said members are gearing up for a battle with democratic socialists who may try to capture the presidential nomination in 2028, the New York Times (NYT) reported Thursday.

Some Democrats, including Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), have been warning against the rising influence of socialists and communists in the Democrat Party, Breitbart News reported Wednesday.

Indeed, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed beat establishment Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in Tuesday’s primary in Michigan, where “the radical transformation of the Democratic Party is center stage,” Breitbart News said Wednesday:

El-Sayed, a public health official and former failed candidate for governor in 2018, delivered the most high-profile win to date for the movement increasingly calling the shots in Democrat politics. While he is not a formal member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the ascendant power center of left-wing American politics, elected officials identifying as democratic socialists, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), campaigned hard for him over several months leading up to the August primary.

According to the Times article:

"We are preparing for the next war that is coming," said Jonathan Cowan, the president of Third

Report: Pentagon Updates U.S. Nuclear Strategy to Address War with China and Russia

The Department of War is reportedly drafting a revised nuclear strategy for regional conflicts with China and Russia, with more of an emphasis on limited deployments of short-range tactical nuclear weapons, instead of escalating immediately to all-out nuclear exchanges with intercontinental weapons.

The report on Wednesday came from NBC News, which cited "five people familiar with the plans." According to these sources, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby is driving the shift toward tactical weapons. Colby is scheduled to present his ideas during a visit to U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) headquarters in Nebraska on Wednesday.

Meta AI Model Escapes Testing Environment and Hacks External Service

Breitbart

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has disclosed that one of its AI models broke free from a cybersecurity test and accessed the internet to hack a third-party service, marking the latest incident in a growing pattern of autonomous AI systems evading their constraints.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta said the escape occurred because of a misconfiguration during a hacking test conducted by Irregular, an AI testing firm based in San Francisco. Meta learned of the incident when Irregular informed the company that its model had gained internet access and successfully breached an external system.

Meta declined to provide key details about the episode, including which AI model was involved, when the incident took place, which company was hacked, or how long the model operated on the internet without supervision. The company said it is investigating and plans to publish a report on its findings.

In a statement to Breitbart News, a Meta spokesperson wrote:

A misconfiguration by Irregular, an independent testing company Meta uses, inadvertently allowed one of our models access to the internet during evaluation. The model subsequently exploited a security vulnerability in a third-party service,

Thom Tillis Reveals New Book, Claims Trump Surrounded by ‘MAGATS’

Breitbart

North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis went on MS NOW Thursday to launch a book tour, calling Trump supporters “sycophants, spineless, and weirdos” while offering praise for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. 

In an appearance on Morning Joe, Tillis said he was proud to “stick a fork” in the 1776 Fund, which was part of a settlement President Trump's lawyers reached with the Internal Revenue Service after a contractor leaked tax returns to news organizations. 

He defended his support of Blanche following his and Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) opposition in the Senate Judiciary Committee before finally moving the nomination forward earlier this week. 

“I got to yes because Todd Blanche operated in good faith, exactly the way he did to de-escalate and resolve the problem I had with the president and Jay Powell,” said Tillis in the interview. 

The two-term senator went on to criticize the Trump administration, saying it was a “difficult administration to work in,” continuing his years-long attacks against administration officials. 

“The big problem I have with this administration

Poll: Venezuelans 'Confused' by Friendliness Between Socialist Regime and Trump Administration

A poll published on Wednesday by the Venezuelan firm Meganálisis found that a majority of the nation's citizens are "confused" and "concerned" over President Donald Trump's support of the socialist regime led by Delcy Rodríguez.

Meganálisis's latest study is the first published by the firm since the devastating double earthquake that struck Venezuela on June 24. According to the most recent update disclosed by the Venezuelan socialist regime, the earthquakes left 6,125 dead and nearly 61,000 injured. Meganálisis explained that the survey was conducted between July 18 and 28 and has a margin of error of 2.84 percent.

Colombia: Police Intercept Bus Full of Bombs Hours Before Abelardo de la Espriella's Inauguration

Breitbart

Colombian National Police officers on Wednesday found and neutralized a bus loaded with nearly half a ton of explosives a few kilometers away from Cali — the city that will soon host the inauguration of conservative President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella.

According to authorities from Colombia’s outgoing government, a commander of the Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) terrorist group is believed to be behind the explosives-loaded vehicle, with the intended goal of killing local civilians and law enforcement officials.

The Colombian newspaper El Colombiano reported that the explosives-laden bus was found by police officers on Wednesday. Initial investigations determined that the vehicle was bound for the city of Cali and was some 20 minutes away from reaching its destination. Explosive ordnance disposal technicians safely carried out a controlled neutralization of the bombs found in the vehicle, preventing any risk to the local population.

According to Caracol Radio, seven cylinders containing 420 kilograms of ammonium nitrate were found inside the bus. Additionally, the bus had been fitted with seven concealed launch ramps presumably intended to fire the explosives.

The detection of the bus occurred at a time when over 11,000

Anthony Fauci's Lawyer: Contempt of Congress Vote a 'Crude Political Stunt'

Breitbart

Anthony Fauci’s lawyer claims the Senate panel decision to hold the former White House chief medical adviser in contempt of Congress is nothing more than a “crude political stunt.”

In a statement following the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s 8-5 vote to hold Fauci in contempt, Fauci’s lawyer David Schertler said, “Today’s partisan committee vote is a crude political stunt intended to punish Dr. Fauci for exercising his constitutional rights.

“The Senate should reject Senator Paul’s meritless and politically motivated contempt resolution,” he added.

Paul, chairman of the committee, explained that it would have been very simple for Fauci to simply answer questions during the hearing rather than plead the Fifth more than 100 times. All Fauci had to do, the senator emphasized, was tell the truth.

“A million Americans died, and I think they deserved to know truth. Anthony Fauci has advocated for dangerous gain of function research for two decades now. The question ‘why’ is not a question that he can have liability for,” Paul told reporters. “He was given a pardon. Interestingly, the pardon starts in 2014. That’s when the funding of the lab in Wuhan started.”

“So I think he should answer

VIDEO — Canadian Illegal Alien Accused of Hitting Pro-Trump Teen Ordered Deported: 'ICE Will Return Her Home'

Breitbart

An immigration judge in Texas has ordered the illegal alien from Canada accused of attacking a pro-Trump teenager be deported.

The decision regarding Kaitlyn Tracey was made Tuesday after she allegedly smacked a young woman over the Fourth of July weekend at a New Jersey boardwalk, Fox News reported Thursday.

Video footage of the incident showed what was reportedly the suspect slapping a young woman wearing a black top and blue shorts before walking away:

After she was arrested and charged, Tracey was held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody at the Delaney Hall immigrant detention center in Newark, where Breitbart News noted “federal officials and local law enforcement have dealt with protests and Antifa rioters outside the building.”

Nolte: ‘Supergirl’ Exits Theaters a ‘Howard the Duck’-sized Failure

Breitbart

DC's girlboss Supergirl movie has ended its theatrical run as a historic and epic failure.

After a six-week run, this stinker grossed a pathetic $72 million domestic and an even more pathetic $53.8 million overseas. That brings its global total to $126 million.

That's it. That's all the money this dead-cat-bounce is gonna make in theaters, even after a ton of publicity, an attachment to one of the most popular superheroes ever, and a wide release in 3,600 U.S. theaters along with thousands of screens more around the globe.

If you figure in inflation, the $38 million that Howard the Duck grossed in 1986 adds up to $116 million today, which is only $9 million less than Supergirl. That's hilarious.

Halle Berry's 2004 catastrophe, Catwoman, grossed $82.4 million at the time, which adds up to $146 million in today's dollars, or $20 million more than Supergirl.

Morbius grossed $167.4 million globally in 2022.

Joker: Folie à Deux grossed $207.5 million planet-wide in 2024.

Never in a million years did I expect Supergirl to flop this hard. Had Supergirl grossed that $125 million worldwide on
