Just asking some insight on BP. For years I have had high blood. Never did anything with it even when told I was in danger. Last month my legs begin to feel weak and painful and tingling.

The next day I would again wake up with nothing but then it would start in my arms and hands. Legs would be slightly weak but no pain. My job is...

Video Link A student at Stafford Elementary is recovering Wednesday after being beaten by several of his classmates. He says it was during a mock election when the class was asked, “Who voted for Donald Trump?” In an exclusive interview with FOX 26, the 11-year-old boy involved and his family tell us what happened. “This is America,” said Mary Lemmon, the mother of the student beaten. “Everyone has the right to their own opinion, and they shouldn’t be beat up for it.” But just a day after Donald Trump was elected President, that’s exactly what happened to her son at...

Video Link One Peninsula high school student's support of Donald Trump may have made her a target. The Woodside High School student and her family are shocked something like this could happen.

Last year one expert told UK newspaper The Independent: “Out of the seven channels of communication that I observed, he was consistent in all – therefore I conclude he was making statements that appeared to be consistent with his belief system.”

Donald Trump’s three oldest children – Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Trump Jr. – have made regular appearances with their father on the campaign trail. Yet considering their father’s political affiliation, and the fact that his children clearly support him for president, some might find it surprising to learn that not all of his children are registered Republicans. According to records from the New York State Board of Elections, neither Ivanka nor Eric Trump are registered Republicans, making Donald Trump Jr. the only Republican of the three.

Five to six Trump supporters jumped on the man. It was when he was on the ground, witnesses said, that there were shouts of "he's got a gun" One witness tells me he thinks that a folded up poster or sign that he saw the man holding was misidentified as a weapon, sparking panic. Crites’ Facebook page indicates that he’s a Republican who is voting for Hillary Clinton. Shortly after the incident at the rally, Crites replaced the cover photo with one of an American flag. The original cover photo referred to Nevada Republicans proudly voting for Clinton.
