Unlike in school, most voters probably don't mind when governors copy each others' homework -- especially when it comes to important issues like national security. Well, it appears Florida Gov.

Critics of the College Football Playoffs will often cite the somewhat arbitrary and wholly subjective nature that the committee selects the playoff field as a criticism. It's a tale as old as college football itself, especially in the prior Bowl Championship Series format, where you'd often end up with three...

Don't call them Islamist countries. Call them "fiery but mostly peaceful democracies" instead. Sound ludicrous?

With Russia's war against Ukaine approaching its fourth year, President Donald Trump had some harsh words Monday for Ukraine's defiant president.
