Democrats don’t cry for U.S. citizens — or aborted babies

The left has certainly been crying their share of tears over the border kids who've been pulled from their illegally crossing parents' sides -- in fact, almost as many tears as the little kids themselves. Who knows. Maybe they really are that sad.

Facebook fundraiser rakes in $6 million to reunite border kids

Facebook, in just the span of a few days, raked in more than $6 million in donations to help reunite families who were detained then separated at the border because they tried to enter the country illegally. That's the power of a crying child -- a price tag of $6 million.

Donald Trump stock soars: ‘I beat Clinton dynasty. I beat the Bush dynasty’

President Donald Trump, in a somewhat freewheeling interview on Friday with Fox News' Steve Doocy, told the watching and listening cable news audience that he's clearly beaten many of the political world's entrenched players at their own game.
