Lately, I have been walking about 10-15 miles everyday. I started this around Memorial Day. I have been doing this, so that I can get into shape, because I might have to donate a kidney to a woman at my church, and I thought it would be best to be in better shape than I was before going into surgery. I thought it might help fight off complications if they happen with the procedure. I lost 17lbs in 5 weeks. Anyway, I was about 5 miles away from my house on a through road that I have walked on about...

What did CNN lie about that got them locked out of the press meeting with Mr. Spicer? I know that they heavily bias, incompetent, devious, and gave Hillary the debate questions.

When the subject came up about Trump's tax returns how come the names Timothy Geithner and Al Sharpton were never brought up. Has either ever paid up?

Brian Williams, the disgraced former golden boy anchor of NBC’s “Nightly News” knows a thing or two about “fake news,” which may explain why the MSNBC anchor decided to tackle the hot-button topic and provide his own unique perspective on the dangers of failing to report the truth. “As we talked about here last night, fake news played a role in this election and continues to find a wide audience,” said Williams during the Wednesday broadcast of MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour.

Isn't this grand larceny?

Supports the efforts by President Poroshenko and the people of Ukraine to establish a lasting peace for Ukraine that includes: full withdrawal of Russian forces from its territory, full control of its international borders, disarming of separatist and paramilitary forces in eastern Ukraine, adoption of policies to reduce the Russian Federation's ability to use energy exports and trade barriers as weapons to apply economic and political pressure, and an end to interference by the Russian Federation in Ukraine's internal affairs.

Daniel Holtzclaw's release Friday comes two days after his bond was reduced from $5 million to $500,000 and a prosecutor labeled him a danger to the community. The 27-year-old is accused of using his badge to fondle women or force them to perform sex acts while he was on patrol over a four-month period. An Oklahoma City police officer accused of using his badge to sexually assault at least eight women in a four-month period is free on $500,000 bond. Daniel Holtzclaw's release Friday comes two days after the 27-year-old's bond was reduced from $5 million and a prosecutor labeled...

I haven't heard anyone discuss the possibility that ISIS possesses chemical and biological weapons. I was wondering what anyone's concerns were about them.

In a video posted Sunday at the Gateway Pundit, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told ABC News' Diane Sawyer it doesn't matter if Bowe Bergdahl deserted his unit. “If you look at what the factors were going into the decision, of course there are competing interests and values. And one of our values is we bring everybody home off the battlefield the best we can. It doesn't matter how they ended up in a prisoner of war situation,” Clinton said, coming perilously close to her now infamous "what difference does it make" line.

Navy Cmdr. Michael P. Ward II, who has been accused of having an affair with a 23-year-old Chesapeake, Va., woman and faking his death as a means of ending it, has been relieved of his duties as the commanding officer of the USS Pittsburgh, just one week after he was put in command. The woman said she met Ward, 43, on a dating website in October. She said Ward, who is married with children, told her her he was separated and that he worked in "special ops." She said he got her pregnant then, in an effort to end the...

Today at 8pm Eastern time there was a show on the History Channel called "Targeting Bin Laden". Surprisingly, Obama came on and gave us his perspective. I don't believe I ever seen a sitting President do this, other than interviews on NBC and CNN and so on. In addition, I don't believe it is common to see former Presidents do such a thing after leaving the White House. I do not remember Presidents Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush doing such a thing. I am aware that George W. Bush has made T.V. appearances regarding 9/11. In conclusion, I am...

WASHINGTON – After a sleepless, overnight flight to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this month, President Barack Obama made a not altogether surprising admission. He was tired. Who could blame him? The president was on his ninth foreign trip to his 21st country; he added a 10th trip the following week. The year had been bookended by the two most intense periods of his young presidency — the early decisions to bail out the nation's banks and automobile industry, steps the president deemed unpopular but necessary, and his December orders to deploy 30,000 additional U.S. troops to...

Rep. Parker Griffith, a freshman Democrat from Alabama, is switching parties to become a Republican, Fox News has confirmed. Griffith is expected to make a formal announcement in an afternoon press conference on Tuesday. Griffith succeeded former Democratic Rep. Bud Cramer of Alabama, who retired earlier this year in a hard-fought contest for his northern Alabama seat. Republicans thought that district would be hard for Democrats to hold without Cramer on the ballot, but Griffith defeated Republican Wayne Parker by four percentage points -- even though Republican presidential nominee John McCain won every county in the district. Former President George...

WASHINGTON - President Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, likes to say that the only thing that is not negotiable is success. The last 48 hours offered a case study in how the president applies that maxim to governing. After weeks of frustrating delays and falling poll numbers, Mr. Obama decided to take what he could get, declare victory and claim momentum on some of the administration’s biggest priorities, even if the details did not always match the lofty vision that underlined them. From Copenhagen to Capitol Hill, the president determined the outer limits of what he could accomplish on...

The dream, as a rather famous Democrat once said, shall never die. In this case, I'm not referring to the dream of a progressive future full of high-paying jobs, plentiful health care, and extremely large polar ice caps, although in the minds of its adherents, I'm sure these developments would be part of the deal. I'm referring to the dream of Howard Dean─or, more precisely, President Howard Dean.

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's president on Tuesday dismissed a year-end deadline set by the Obama administration and the West for Tehran to accept a U.N.-drafted deal to swap enriched uranium for nuclear fuel, and claimed his government is now "10 times stronger" than a year ago. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's remarks underscored Tehran's defiance amid the nuclear standoff — and also sought to send a message that his government had not been weakened by the protest movement sparked by June's disputed presidential election. His comments came a day after the latest opposition protest by tens of thousands mourning a dissident cleric who...

As the Copenhagen Climate conference comes to a conclusion amidst riots by demonstrators and scrambling by policymakers, Czech President Vaclav Klaus has a message for the world: Global warming is a "new religion," not a science.

The U.S. has launched two missile strikes against Al Qaeda targets in Yemen, two U.S. officials told Fox News, signaling an escalation of the Obama administration's fight against the terrorist organization. The politically sensitive strikes Thursday, first reported by ABC News, supplement efforts already under way by the government of Yemen to go after Al Qaeda in the country, the officials told Fox News, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the operation. Such an operation is particularly sensitive in Yemen. "It's very difficult for Yemen to ask the U.S. for help given the nature of their...
