President Biden wants to transform the character of many American cities and suburbs by building more apartment buildings in quiet and frequently disproportionately White neighborhoods of single-family homes. The Biden administration sees remnants of America’s segregationist past in what it calls “exclusionary” zoning laws, which allow only single-family homes in large swaths of cities and suburbs. As part of a racial equity agenda the president is pursuing in his massive infrastructure plan, Mr. Biden would send federal grants to cities if they eliminate those zoning laws and allow more lower-income people, often minorities, in areas that typically have better schools...

Kiev, April 28, Interfax - Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky believes that a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin could take place at the Vatican. "Yes, indeed, it could be the optimal venue from all standpoints.

This is why historically the Apostolic capital has often been appealed to to help resolve conflicts between states and to promote...

President Joe Biden plans to ban menthol cigarettes despite concerns from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that it would fuel racial injustice.

But some...

Amidst the pomp-and-circumstance introductions of Tuesday night's Jeopardy!, a three-day returning champion flashed an 'OK' sign with three fingers, sending the Twitter world into a frenzy. When Kelly Donohue was announced by guest host Anderson Cooper, Donohue smiled and made a gesture of the sideways 'OK' gesture with three fingers out. This hand gesture has been used by far right-wing groups to represent white supremacy, and The Anti-Defamation League classified it as an official symbol of hate in 2019. But, this is not the only use of the symbol and Donohue has made very clear there was no 'hidden agenda...

IRVINE, CA—Tragedy has struck once again. The entire men's U.S. water polo team has drowned after kneeling during the national anthem in an exhibition game today, sources confirmed moments ago.

"Yes, this is a...
