SIMI VALLEY, California — GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson, who has surged to second place in the polls since the first GOP presidential primary debate, spoke exclusively to Breitbart News before the second GOP debate tonight hosted by CNN saying he’s camera ready with a haircut and fresh smile.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, national security expert Liz Cheney, warn readers in their new book, Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America, that it will be very difficult to undo the damage that President Barack Obama has caused the United States through a deliberate policy of weakening America.
On Sunday, former Speaker of the House and 2012 presidential candidate Newt Gingrich (R-GA) appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” and discussed Donald Trump’s candidacy, asserting that Trump’s appeal revolves around his focus on making Americans winners again.
CNN Senior Political Analyst David Gergen argued that talk radio host Hugh Hewitt’s interview with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump did have “gotcha questions” on Thursday’s broadcast of “AC360.” Gergen said, “I think you should know basically a lot about
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News inside the Prince William County GOP headquarters, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said that if he’s nominated as the GOP’s presidential candidate in 2016 he can beat either former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Vice President Joe Biden in a general election.
For the next phase of his campaign for President of the United States, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker will deliver to the nation a key speech laying out his foreign policy ideas.
Donald Trump has produced the most credible response yet of any Republican presidential candidate thus far to the Iran deal.
There are, as Isaiah Berlin said, foxes who try to do many things, and hedgehogs who do only one. In foreign policy, Americans are hedgehogs: we win wars. The best foreign policy for the U.S. is an ever-stronger military. Beyond that, we are adrift.
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush spoke at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley on Tuesday night, focusing on foreign policy.
A vote against the Iran deal will not bring war, in spite of what President Barack Obama says.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said during the GOP undercard debate Thursday that, unlike President Obama, he would first fight ISIS by actually naming the enemy.
The Iran deal will “likely and necessarily” lead to war, according to Yaakov Amidror, a former national security adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) posted a 40-day public comment period late August 3 aimed at transferring the oversight of the Internet to a not-for-profit entity.
GOP presidential candidate Carly Fiorina came out swinging on foreign policy at the candidate forum in New Hampshire Monday night hosted by C-SPAN and the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Critics of the Iran deal have pointed out that President Barack Obama has imposed a false choice on Congress: accept a bad deal, or go to war—as if those are the only two alternatives. In fact, Obama has imposed a second false choice: either cooperate with the international community, or go it alone.
Republican Presidential candidate and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina will deliver a speech Monday evening at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library that will call for the United States to maintain its military supremacy, reject the Iran nuclear deal currently being debated, and “push back against rising Chinese aggression,” according to prepared remarks provided to Breitbart News by the Fiorina campaign.
First, there was an interview with Jake Tapper of CNN, in which she handled the Trump surge (saying that she shares the anger at professional politicians she feels Trump is tapping into), immigration policy, domestic security, and the Planned Parenthood videos. “Politics is not a game,” Fiorina said on Fox & Friends, “and it’s not entertainment. It’s deadly serious now. Because unless we solve some of these festering problems, and exhibit leadership to challenge the status quo in Washington, D.C., and exhibit leadership around the world, these times will continue to be perilous.”
In sum: as a purely nuclear deal, the Iran agreement is very weak but debatable, depending on whether you believe it can be enforced. The non-nuclear part of the deal, however, concerning the arms and ballistic missile provisions, is a complete disaster.
Several Republican presidential candidates have already reacted to the Iran deal by declaring that they will “terminate” it immediately upon reaching office. That may be an effective way of conveying the depth of GOP opposition to an agreement that facilitates Iran’s emergence as a regional hegemon and potential nuclear power. It is also a constitutionally valid policy, since President Barack Obama has absurdly declared that the Iran deal is an executive agreement, and not a treaty, to minimize scrutiny and opposition. It is not, however, the best response.
“I hope Secretary Clinton will evolve her views, as she has evolved on other issues, and come out against this very bad deal,” Jindal said, adding that the current administration could “start a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.”
As Breitbart News reported, world leaders announced the deal from Vienna on Tuesday. The 159-page deal drops all financial and economic sanctions against Iran, and imposes a special dispute resolution process before the United States or European Union can impose any new sanctions. Iran agreed to limits on its nuclear enrichment activities for eight years, its stockpile of enriched uranium, and its research and development efforts.
Former Obama campaign foreign policy adviser David Tafuri stated that while “American standing is much stronger right now,” “there may not be many countries where we have a much better relationship as a result of President Obama” and that there
President Barack Obama’s administration has aggressively pushed for normalizing relations with the island nation. In April the State Department removed Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, despite ongoing concerns about its support for terrorism and human rights violations. This decision was heavily criticized by both Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Rubio’s fellow Republican in the Senate and competitor for the GOP presidential nomination.
