As desperate presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tries to match the momentum of opponent Donald Trump, she’s also battling two shocking secret health issues! In a bombshell exclusive, The National ENQUIRER has learned the 68-year-old Democratic front-runner is suffering from the early stages of the debilitating disease multiple sclerosis — and has endured a series of strokes! “Hillary’s past health problems are down to MS,” a political insider close to both Hillary and husband Bill Clinton told The ENQUIRER. “She’s been working with her staff to keep the medical drama under wraps, and she’s doing her best to deal with it.”...

It's been a little over a year now. It's been a year of spectacle and showmanship, fury and farce, demagoguery and disaster. A year in which Donald Trump's con game tricked about 35% of Republicans into voting for him, before Vichy Republican leaders meekly bowed to his will. The single worst major party nominee in modern history — a man who has no political core, lies practically every time he speaks and is patently unstable — reached this point because every leader and institution in my party, the Republican Party, has failed again and again to grapple with the grim...

Robert H. Scales is a retired Army major general, a former commandant of the U.S. Army War College and the author of the forthcoming book “Scales on War.” In November, while visiting the headquarters of the U.S. Army in Europe, I received a briefing on the performance of the Russian army in Ukraine. In a perfunctory tone, the young intelligence briefer recited the details of the July 2014 Battle of Zelenopillya, in which a single Russian artillery “fire strike” almost destroyed two Ukrainian mechanized battalions in a few minutes. I couldn’t help imagining a U.S. armored battalion subjected to a...

I was thrilled to hear our Republican presidential nominee pronounce himself "the law and order candidate." Talking about crime is something I've been urging on the GOP for a very long time. What remains to be seen is whether Donald Trump will go from talking to thinking about crime, and thence to actually doing what is necessary to reach his stated goal: "The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon – and I mean very soon – come to an end." In American history, we find many cases where rampant lawlessness was abruptly squelched. Unfortunately, they all...

Hillary Clinton needed to be physically helped up a moderate flight of stairs by her team of staffers and handlers, according to campaign-trail photos that made the rounds on the Internet Sunday.

Donald Trump Economic Speech Live coverage of presidential candidate Donald Trump's economic address.

The first week of August was a rough one for Donald Trump's campaign; by coincidence, it was also a busy one for Trump supporters, who see a media coverup protecting Hillary Clinton. Over the weekend, the Trump campaign released a Web ad that mocked Clinton's admission that she "short-circuited" by giving a misleading answer about the investigation into her emails. "She took a short-circuit in the brain," Trump said at a Saturday night rally. "She's got problems. Honestly, I don't think she's all there." At the same time, the Drudge Report, WorldNetDaily and a small army of would-be Twitter sleuths...

Rudy Giuliani joined the "Fox and Friends Weekend" co-hosts today to react to the revelation that Hillary Clinton has "snubbed" the largest police union in the country. Giuliani said the fact that Clinton isn't seeking the endorsement of the National Fraternal Order of Police is indicative of a shift among Democrats. "The Democratic Party has become an anti-law enforcement party," Giuliani said. "And this is the best demonstration of it." He accused the Democrats of stoking the flames of anti-police sentiment across the country, leading to the rise of groups like Black Lives Matter and an increase in violence against...

NEW YORK — Taken aback by the size of Donald Trump’s July fundraising haul, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is quickly working to beef up its efforts to raise campaign cash before the fall — sending the candidate, running mate Tim Kaine, and former President Bill Clinton on an all-out financial sprint through August while explicitly warning top fundraisers this week that they need to pick up the pace. In an internal memo, first obtained by POLITICO, that will be circulated to high-level donors on Monday morning, campaign manager Robby Mook specifically writes that the Republican nominee’s July haul overshot the campaign’s...

epublican presidential candidate Donald Trump will propose imposing a temporary moratorium on new federal regulations, reviving the Obama-stalled Keystone oil pipeline project, slashing business tax rates and making childcare expenses fully tax-deductible, in a landmark economic speech Monday.

Democratic and Republican nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump agree that the U.S. tax code needs major changes, but their proposed changes have drastically different effects on Americans’ pocketbooks. Clinton wants to increase taxes on individuals, specifically wealthy Americans, and businesses. She also proposes a significant change to the capital gains tax and wants to expand the estate tax, according to analysis by the Tax Foundation. Trump wants to abolish the estate tax and wants an income tax reduction that encompasses most American families. Let’s get into the specifics of each tax plan and how they impact America’s bottom line....

Nationally syndicated radio and HLN television host Dr. Drew Pinsky said he’s concerned about the “sophistication” of the healthcare that Democrat frontrunner Hillary Clinton is receiving. “Why is somebody who’s running for the President of the United States getting such shoddy care?” Drew stressed on KABC’s Midday Live. “My problem is the quality of the overall care she is getting,” he added.

Breaking Video: Hillary Clinton's Security and Medical Detail Appear to be integrated. In Las Vegas on August 4th, 2016 she appears to have a moment of confusion and a peculiar reaction by her security staff shows one of them pull out a Diazepam Autoinjector before being waved off by her Chief Medical Officer in the security detail. The same medical officer is shown in another picture holding the same object, which clearly is a Diazepam Autoinjector used to treat seizures as they happen. Hillary Clinton is barely holding it together. She is unfit for office, and we have to ask...

Hillary Clinton will be 69 years old in October. She's had some major medical issues over the last several years. What kind of prescription drugs is she taking? The voters of America need to know, and WANT to know. Why is Hillary Clinton holding out on us? I'm sure Donald Trump would have no trouble sharing that information with us - AFTER the more obviously ill candidate coughs up her secret prescription drug needs. Scott Adams (Dilbert), also covers this topic, albeit with more humor, in his blog post from Saturday:Drug Testing Presidential Candidates Saurday, August 7, 2016 - Scott...

December 18, 2012 Where’s Hillary Clinton’s medical report? Jim Treacher We’re told she collapsed and hit her head and got a concussion, and that’s why she can’t testify about Benghazi this week. And we’re supposed to just take her word for it.Investor’s Business Daily editorializes: Outside the frothy bubble of U.S. political concerns lie only the hard realities of the real world. That’s why hard questions should be asked — and real answers demanded — of U.S. secretaries of state and those who would be them.That’s not the case with either Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who puts up excuse...

Blacks have long been one of the Democrat party's most reliable voting blocs, despite its history as the party of slavery, secession, segregation, Jim Crow, lynchings, poll taxes, and literacy tests. Indeed, it was more than 50 years ago already that President Lyndon B. Johnson declared his Democrat policies would have "them n****rs voting Democratic for the next two hundred years," -- and, so far, President Johnson's prediction has proven out. But could it be that some blacks are waking up to the fact that Democrats seem to "care" about them only during election season, when they need blacks to...
