On Friday, the 30th of August 2019, US President Donald Trump, who had been engaged in a rattling battle all over the world with Beijing over tariffs, prodded No. 1 US automaker, General Motors Co., the Detroit-based US multinational automotive corporation to shift its manufacturing hubs back into the United States. Meanwhile, criticising the Detroit-based automaker’s move to shift a majority of its larger plants to China aimed at averting China tariff on US-based autos, while remaining competitive in the largest auto market in the world, China, Trump tweeted in a post earlier on Friday (August 30th), “General Motors, which...

Colorado is full of many man-made marvels — some weird and wacky, like Swetsville Zoo, and others simply wondrous, such as the United States Air Force Academy Chapel in Colorado Springs. But if you want to see that particular marvel, plan on making a quick trip over Labor Day weekend: The chapel will close to the public on September 3 for a major renovation that is slated to last three years.

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. (KKTV) - A Colorado woman was found guilty of killing her own newborn daughter and tossing the body into a neighbor's yard. Camille Wasinger-Konrad, 25, is expected to spend the rest of her life in prison after she was found guilty on Tuesday of first-degree murder after deliberation, tampering with physical evidence and the position-of-trust murder charge. “Of all the many emotions of the magical first moments of a baby’s life, of all the many tender moments a mother shared in that first embrace with a completely helpless and fragile life, smothering a newborn, and pitching its...

Hi all, I am asking for immediate prayer for a friend of mine's daughter GRACIE. She is 20 and pregnant. She had a reaction to a fungal infection cream and went to the hospital. In the hospital she got a bed sore which turned into a staph infection. Her legs are so swollen she can 't walk and they have her on a high dosage of morphine. The minute they lower it she loses it...too much pain. The doctors are very concerned she may not make it. Would truly appreciate any prayer warriors out there to take a moment...Thank you...

The Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment claimed on Friday that the trade war between the U.S. and China is making it difficult for the latter to hit carbon emissions targets, even though Chinese researchers claimed just two weeks ago they were well ahead of schedule on meeting their emissions goals.

Kim Campbell, Canada’s former prime minister for a coffee break, desperately wants to be relevant. She’s been searching for it since 1993 when her political career went down in flames along with the Progressive Conservative Party she led at the time. When she was finished, two seats in the Commons were all the PCs had left after nine years of majority government under Brian Mulroney. There haven’t been many humiliating defeats like that in Canadian political history, although Donald Trump’s shocking win over Hillary Clinton to become U.S. President in 2016 rivals it. Campbell has kept busy over the years...

I see and hear a lot of talk about how a national gun registration and/or confiscation would be the trigger that would spark a second American Revolution, as patriots rise up to resist the jackbooted thugs who are going door-to-door taking away people’s arms. I have bad news for everyone who’s waiting for national registration or a mass confiscation so they can get their armed rebellion on: a national database of gun owners already exists, and a national confiscation effort will never happen. Ever. Instead, you’ll hand over your firearms peacefully. All of them, even the ones you paid cash...

This is no time to be on the sidelines. Stacey Abrams: Stand up and be counted. "I do not want to serve in the Senate," says the hugely popular former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee. Steve Bullock: Stand up and be counted. "My talents are best suited" to an executive role, says Montana's well-liked Democratic governor. Beto O'Rourke: Stand up and be counted. "That would not be good enough" to serve in the Senate, says the gifted former Democratic congressman from Texas. Sorry, but what's not "good enough" are those answers. The three could make all the difference in Democrats' uphill...

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held yesterday that a Los Angeles Police Department officer is entitled to qualified immunity in an action based on his nonfatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy who was in a group of four youths in an alley, one of whom was perceived by the officer to be holding a gun on one of the others. Officer Miguel Gutierrez fired his weapon, grazing the back of Jamar Nicholson Green, who was the boy believed to be holding a weapon (which was actually a toy pistol with an orange cap). Gutierrez participated in the decision...

An armed man who allegedly tried to rob a mobile phone store in Philadelphia on Monday was shot and killed by an employee in a dramatic moment captured on video. The Philadelphia Police Department said the incident happened just after 4 p.m. at a Metro PCS store in the southwest part of the city when an unidentified man who appeared to be in his late 30s entered the business. The man was trying to rob the store when the lone employee inside – who has a permit to carry a firearm – fired at the would-be robber multiple times, striking...

        YOU'RE THE ONE Les tells the story proudly now, with an ending that few would have ever predicted when he was in high school. He remembers the turning point as though it were yesterday. Just a chance encounter and an offhand comment... but it changed his life forever. He had slipped quietly into the back of a classroom to wait for a friend that day. The last thing he wanted was to be noticed, but the teacher asked him to go to the board and work out a problem. Les pointed out that he wasn't...

An active shooter in Saturday's deadly attack in Odessa has been killed, according to Midland police. Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke said five people were killed and 21 shooting victims in the area of Midland and Odessa. At a news conference Saturday, Gerke also says that at least three law enforcement officers were among those shot. The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-30s. He spoke after a chaotic afternoon during which police reported that a suspect hijacked a U.S. Postal Service vehicle and began firing at random in the area of Odessa and Midland, hitting multiple...

US police fired pepper spray Saturday after counter-demonstrators accused them of protecting "Straight Pride" advocates who support President Donald Trump, and refused to let officers re-open a road. The unrest came after the counter-protesters and "Straight Pride" group -- considered homophobic extremists by their opponents -- staged dueling rallies in Boston. There was no serious violence during the rallies themselves, which involved groups of several hundred.

Perhaps the censors at Twitter don’t like to admit that a socialist/environmentalist who hates capitalism can also be a racist.

A Trump supporter in Oregon was stripped of his firearms under the state’s red flag laws for declaring that his rights wouldn’t be trampled upon by ANTIFA terrorists who have rampaged throughout Portland during the summer. “If ANTIFA gets to the point where they start killing us, I’m going to kill them next,” said Shane Kohfield, a 32-year-old former Marine. “I’d slaughter them and I have a detailed plan on how I would wipe out ANTIFA.” This statement triggered the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task to revoke Kohfield’s 2nd Amendment rights and take his firearms away. In addition, they forced the...

They’re Will and no Grace. Stars from the hit NBC series “Will and Grace” are upset about an Emmy week fundraiser in Beverly Hills for President Trump next month — and vow to name and shame anyone who dares to show up, hoping to blacklist participants from working in Hollywood. “Please print a list of all attendees please. The public has a right to know,” Debra Messing tweeted Friday night in response to a Hollywood Reporter story on the upcoming event. She and co-star Eric McCormack called for the outing of all Trump supporters who attend. “Hey, @THR,” McCormack posted...
