With the number of security breaches we've seen in recent years, it's a good idea to check your bank transaction record frequently as you can't be certain whether someone out there is holding your credit card number.

However, did you know some criminals are more interested in your medical records.

Thousands of fraudulent credit and debit transactions take place every year while innocent victims go on through life oblivious. If criminals can sneak those right by, imagine what they can do with access to your insurance.

One of President Trump's most ardent supporters fired a warning shot across the commander-in-chief's bow.

He has pushed back, most recently, by installing retired General John Kelly as White House Chief of Staff, in an effort to bring order and discipline to the West Wing. Kelly is one of a handful of retired Generals appointed to key positions in the Trump administration.
