Despite the often-empty supermarkets and antagonistic relations with the Communist-run government, Cuba offered US diplomats a rare benefit for years: It was safe.

The Cuban government’s tight control over the island made […]

North Korea has launched 15 missiles in 22 tests in 2017.

When President Donald Trump took the stage in Alabama on Friday night to rally support for Sen. Luther Strange, you could tell he was in the mood to make some noise — and some news. His hopes for repeal and replace of the Affordable Care Act had been dealt a near-fatal blow just hours before […]

The Trump presidency is a test. Institutions like the courts, the news media and the business community have all been tested. Now it’s the NFL and the NBA’s turn. The president is embracing an “us versus them” conflict involving politics, patriotism and popular American pasttimes. And there is an unmistakable racial element at play, since […]

“Little Marco” wasn’t a despot. “Lyin’ Ted” didn’t have a missile program. “Crooked Hillary” wasn’t trying to develop a hydrogen bomb. But “Rocket Man,” North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, is, in fact, a despot with a missile program and pledges to develop a usable hydrogen bomb. So while the stakes are new and different for […]

One under-the-radar stat in Thursday’s new poll from CNN shows that Americans have matched the most positive they’ve been about the US economy in more than 16 years. And it turns out President Donald Trump is getting more and more credit for it. A broad 63% of Americans say the economy is in “very good” […]

It takes a special breed of cat to settle in the Florida Keys. The slivers of land atop an ancient coral reef hold a mixture of hedonism and high water, luring anglers and divers, bikers and burnouts, pirates and professionals down US 1 to forget about life for a weekend … or forever.
