Iranian Minister of Information and Communications Technology Sattar Hashemi is set to visit Havana next week. The United Nations General Assembly voted by a large margin on Wednesday to denounce the decades-old American embargo against Cuba for the 32nd time since 1992, with only Israel (and the United States) opposing the resolution, and Moldova abstaining, the AP reported.

In 2009, Rupert Everett famously told The Observer that any actor planning to come out of the closet should promptly go back in. “It's not that advisable to be honest,” he said of his sexuality being public, “It's not very easy. And, honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out."

Bonus points if you’re in a Luca Guadagnino movie, or land a...

Rockefeller, who founded the Rockefeller Foundation in 1906 as a means to cloak his monopolistic venture capitalism in a veil of purported charity. Like Rockefeller, who attempted to rebrand his...

A church in the UK has been branded as “embarrassing” by Anglican church leaders and reprimanded by a church court after they purchased a new gas heater to heat their building, rather than seek out a more environmentally-friendly solution. Earlier this year, Holy Church Cross in Fenham, Newcastle, needed to upgrade its heaters, which it estimated to cost $42,500. They put down a $22,000 nonrefundable deposit to purchase new gas heaters but failed to get permission from the Diocese beforehand, which was livid at hearing the news. The Consistory Court of the Diocese of Newcastle caught wind of this purcahse...

Comments by former President Donald Trump about immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, insulted Haitians and those living in Springfield dealing with what has become a difficult situation, said a local Catholic official.

Trump's remarks, during the Sept. 10 debate, offered no proof, and anyone in a position to know, including Springfield city manager, said they were pure fabrication. Television comics used the remarks as fodder and some...
