ROME – Pope Francis said that international organizations, such as the United Nations, have proven to be useless in stopping violence and atrocities in the war in Ukraine. Speaking on Wednesday about the massacres in the recently freed city of Bucha, on the outskirts of Kyiv, the pope denounced the “increasingly horrendous cruelties [that] are also committed against civilians and defenseless children. They are victims whose innocent blood cries out to the heavens and implores: Put an end to this war, silence the weapons, stop sowing death.” Speaking about his trip to Malta last weekend, he said the Mediterranean nation...

Nikole Hannah-Jones, 1619 Project creator and professor, said Wednesday on the CNN+ show “Who’s Talking” that parents were wrong when they complained about her work claiming America was founded as a racist country.

Are you saying parents are wrong?”

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) predicted that the border and illegal immigration will be “huge” in the 2022 elections and were going to be major issues even before the Biden administration announced its decision to revoke Title 42.

What would happen if a major disaster hit America, millions died, air traffic ground to a halt, electricity was down and Congress needed to act? And what if half the members of Congress were among the dead or missing? These aren't pitches for a disaster movie set in Washington. These were all serious scenarios floated by members of Congress tasked with coming up with ways to bring Congress into the modern world--a world where cyber threats, pandemics, nuclear war and political violence are all well within the scope of possibility. "This isn't just hypothetical anymore," said Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Colo.,...

California politicians of both parties are finger-pointing in the aftermath of a downtown Sacramento gang shootout that left six people dead. Democrats want to see more action on gun restrictions, and Republicans want to see the state take a harder stance on criminal justice issues.

It said Newsom and his parole board appointees were to blame, which...

NEW ORLEANS -- President Joe Biden’s requirement that all federal employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 was upheld Thursday by a federal appeals court. In a 2-1 ruling, a panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court and ordered dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the mandate.

Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “There is a question that I have had on my mind, and you’re the only person that can answer it.
