President Donald Trump said, “We’re building a wall in Colorado” when talking about border wall progress on Wednesday afternoon. Trump was speaking in Pittsburgh at the Shale Insight Conference when he made the comments. “And we’re building a wall on the border of New Mexico and we’re building a wall in Colorado, we’re building a beautiful wall, a big one that really works that you can’t get over, you can’t get under and we’re building a wall in Texas. We’re not building a wall in Kansas but they get the benefit of the walls we just mentioned,” said Trump.

The unidentified whistleblower whose bombshell complaint is at the center of the Democrat’s impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump has suggested they may be accused of political bias for a third, unreported reason. The whistleblower acknowledged to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) that bias against President Trump might be alleged against him or her for a reason that was previously unreported, sources familiar with the ICIG investigation revealed to Fox News. However, the nature of that third reason has not been disclosed. Two previous reasons for potential political bias against the mystery whistleblower have been reported - firstly, that...

Kennedy to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev to mock President Trump's recent, casually worded missive to Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan, but the Twitter mockery quickly blew back in Clinton's face, with commentators across the political spectrum suggesting the former secretary of state shouldn't relish so openly in Twitter trolling. What's more, users quickly noted that Clinton's team had lifted the letter, without attribution, from a segment on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" that aired this past Wednesday night. The kerfuffle came as Clinton's feud with Tulsi Gabbard has prompted...

Editor’s Note: This is the first of two profiles of candidates for Kentucky attorney general. Daniel Cameron, the Republican nominee for Kentucky attorney general, is young and lacks much courtroom experience as a lawyer. But he has waged an aggressive political campaign this year with an endorsement from President Donald Trump, who is popular across the state, and conservative stands on highly charged social issues like immigration and abortion. “Daniel Cameron supports Trump’s border wall,” declares the narrator in one of Cameron’s television commercials. “I’m proud to be 100 percent pro-life,” the candidate himself says in another.

As the country watches in horror a Texas father’s legal battle to prevent his ex-wife from “transitioning” their seven-year-old son into a girl, a growing chorus of Americans is demanding state and federal leaders intervene to save James Younger. On Monday, a Dallas jury ruled 11-1 against father Jeffrey Younger in his fight against his ex-wife, Dr. Anna Georgulas, who wants to subject young James to puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones as well as legally force his father to treat him as a girl. Mr. Younger contends that all of this is being pursued against his son’s will. “Conservatives would...

While Clayton Kershaw shows that he is a good sport when it comes to losing, not all athletes have gracefully accepted loss as well as him. Larry goes through a list of historical athletes, some who have been good sports, others who have dealt with their loss in less than admirable ways.

Democrats are increasingly worried by the spending chasm between the two sides — and its implications for 2020. Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have raised more than $300 million this year for his reelection — more than any other sitting president in history at this point in the campaign. Trump has nearly twice as much cash on hand — $158 million, between his campaign account and the RNC — as Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee had at this time in his successful re-election run. Already this year, Trump’s campaign operation has spent close to $23 million...

The Democratic debates have been a lackluster auction of government handouts using other people’s money. But the next one proves to be something special as the DNC has decided to drop the ostensibly civilized environment of a debate with the gritty surroundings of the mixed martial arts octagon arena. The headline fight will be between Tulsi Gabbard and Hillary Clinton who has yet to officially declare herself a nominee but who is seriously thinking about losing to Trump in 2020. “We thought that our ratings would be better if we just cut the crap and let these two women duke...

The San Francisco city government has banned business travel for its employees to "certain states" that are not sufficiently pro-abortion, a decision that Rev. Franklin Graham said was based on "the lie that abortion is a woman's right," when, in fact, "abortion is murdering a child in its mother's womb." Last week, San Francisco Mayor London Breed said, “Every day in this country, women’s reproductive rights are threatened, and we have to fight back. Just as we restricted spending with states that have laws that discriminate against LGBTQ people, we are standing up against states that put women’s health at...

On Tuesday, the social media giant announced that it would invest $1 billion to spur the construction of 20,000 new housing units in Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area.

The announcement received a glowing endorsement from California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who said in...

Kamala Harris is an ardent abortion activist — no pro-life voter could be addlepated about that. But Harris wants to make sure Democrat presidential primary voters know she’s staunching in favor of abortion as many babies as possible, right up to birth. Harris is so pro-abortion she just told an audience that killing babies in abortions is something that should be declared “a priority.” Naturally, Harris wrapped this horrific reality in language about so-called “reproductive rights.” Here’s more: “We need to have presidential candidates indicate where they stand on it, and we need to declare it a priority like any...
