The mean-spirited attitude infecting America is hurting America. The truth is that America needs migrants and the administration is making them afraid to get a visa and come to America. FoxNews.com has featured Olympic athletes that have vocally supported the Trump Administration.

Kentucky’s hardworking taxpayers are getting royally ripped off by their Democrat governor’s administration, and now they have the receipts to prove it. Republican State Auditor Allison Ball just dropped a bombshell report exposing the absolutely outrageous luxury spending happening in Andy Beshear’s executive branch, according to Fox News.

She pointed out that while governors absolutely need security, there’s a huge difference between necessary protection and living like royalty on the taxpayers’ tab. This is the same Democrat who thinks he can lecture America about “restoring the American dream” while burning through millions in public funds on luxury trips and VIP parties.

But the NFL also has the power to interrogate Tisch, and to determine whether it believes he’s telling the truth if/when he denies everything.

One senior newsroom staffer recalls the last conversation they had with Murray before leaving the Post.
