Graphic Images Justify Border Patrol’s Use of Deadly Force Against Rock Attacks
The images included below shed light on the dangers U.S. Border Patrol agents are facing from rock throwers along the U.S./Mexico border. The Border Patrol has come under an unprecedented level of fire from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and their allies in both government and media for the use of deadly force in response to some rock attacks from individuals and groups illegally entering the U.S. from Mexico. Breitbart Texas has reported extensively on the left-of-center campaign to restrict the ability of Border Patrol agents to defend themselves and on the false narratives such open-borders advocates use in their political and media attacks against the men and women of the Border Patrol. The reality being far from the false narrative of “kids throwing pebbles,” the life-threatening rock attacks against Border Patrol agents often occur in remote areas when a solitary Border Patrol agent may be up to a 90-minute drive from their nearest backup. The solitary Border Patrol agent’s radio often does not work due to insufficient communications infrastructure along the U.S./Mexico border–leaving the agent alone and unable to call for help. The attacks often come from illegal immigrants trafficking drugs or human beings, or from illegal immigrants
Uninvited II: Phyllis Schlafly–Sen. Sessions ‘Hero’ for Opposing Amnesty
Phyllis Schlafly, conservative icon and founder of the influential Eagle Forum, praised Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as a “hero” for being one of the few lawmakers in Congress who understands the devastating impact amnesty legislation would have on American workers. Speaking at “The Uninvited II” national security forum on “Amnesty and Open Borders: The End of America–and the GOP” panel across the street from CPAC, Schlafly said that “there have not been many in Congress who have gotten the message, but one of them has been Sen. Sessions, and he has been a hero.” She said that Sessions immediately called out the House GOP leadership’s “immigration principles” for being the “same recycled talking points” that were crafted by the same consultants and special interests who only guaranteed “amnesty and not the enforcement.” Sessions provided House Republicans with a “myth vs. fact” sheet that exposed the misleading talking points that amnesty advocates in

Hillary Takes Veiled Shots at Obama in McAuliffe Endorsement Speech
FALLS CHURCH, Virginia — While giving a speech endorsing Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s Virginia gubernatorial bid at a small concert and theater venue just outside Washington, D.C., former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took several veiled shots at President Barack Obama and the way her 2008 Democratic primary opponent has run Washington since being first elected five years ago. While Clinton never mentioned Obama by name, she used innuendo and some indirect references to try to separate herself from the president ahead of what is widely expected to be another run at the White House for her in 2016. “I thought hard about what I wanted to say to Virginians today,” Clinton opened her remarks by saying. “I’ve been out of politics for a few years now. I’ve had a chance to think a lot about what makes our country so great, what kind of leadership is required to keep it great.” Later in the speech, Clinton noted her work as Secretary of State and said she has come across leaders worldwide who divide and leaders who unite, a reference to Obama’s aloof and divisive style of politics and leadership. “I’ve spent four years traveling across the globe, a great honor
Secretary Kerry Will Sign UN Arms Trade Treaty
Obama administration officials say Secretary of State John Kerry will sign the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) “during annual United Nations General Assembly meeting this week.” As Breitbart News reported in March, the ATT hands the executive branch the power to work with other governments around the world to shut down portions of the U.S. import firearms market. Such shut downs will be possible by seizing on ambiguous terms and phrases within the ATT–like claiming certain classes of guns are “inappropriate” or claiming others endanger “women and children.” Moreover, because the treaty includes a focus on the movement of “small arms [and] light weapons” across borders, it will require some degree of gun registration if it is to be effective. Without the ability to ascertain the origins of these weapons how will enforcing agents know who is moving them across borders? The Associated Press reports that “more than 85 countries have

Lies upon Lies: How Anthony Weiner Went Down
Note from Senior Management: As former Rep. Anthony Weiner explores a return to politics, the mainstream media have been eager to help him rehabilitate his reputation–and to distort or ignore the role played by Andrew Breitbart in driving the story. Andrew’s victory in Weinergate was as much a triumph over the mainstream media as it was against a Democrat who had falsely claimed to be the victim of a crime–and who had suggested that Andrew could be the culprit. In spinning for Weiner, the mainstream media are attempting to restore their own tarnished reputations. As blogger Ace of Spades noted yesterday: “It was absolute smoking gun proof offered by Andrew Breitbart that did Weiner in on June 6th [2011], and not “questions from reporters,” that compelled Weiner to confess. Orwell wrote in 1984: “Who controls the past controls the future.” Whatever Weiner’s future, we will not allow the mainstream media to re-write history to suit their agenda. The following excerpt from the updated paperback edition of Andrew’s book, Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World (Grand Central Publishing, 2012–available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble), tells the Weinergate story precisely as it happened–not as the mainstream media wish it
