Sources tell Breitbart News that the three candidates vying to replace Speaker Boehner—Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) , and House Majority Leader Rep.

It’s Economics 101: Support the Deny Amnesty Credits Act

President Obama rewrote our nation’s immigration laws with just the stroke of his pen. This may turn out to be the most dangerous and disruptive action of his presidency.

Leftists Celebrate Tax Day by Protesting for Higher Minimum Wage
