A House bill that would drastically tighten screening procedures on refugees from Syria was only a few hours old by the time Stephen Colbert sat behind his desk to
film The Late Show on Thursday. And Colbert and his staff were not going to let H.R. 4038–a bill that had already caused widespread outrage–go ignored. Acting quickly, he used it as an intro to a segment cutting through the hypocrisy of Republican's Syrian refugee fear-mongering. While Colbert doesn't spend much time ...

A cursory analysis of the historical evolution of Philosophy and Theology, even the most radical and primary histories of both disciplines, reveal an â
€˜ecstatic’ romance successfully penetrating to the very basis of their real existence. This becomes even more evident from the product of Karl Rahner’s analysis of the Philosophy and Theology: ‘there is a theological element inescapably present in every philosophy’. This is quite instructive from the very fact...

With the long black robes, red velvet curtain and secret conference room, the Supreme Court can seem like a pretty weird place. But the court is
never weirder than when the death penalty is being discussed, as it was in Wednesday's oral arguments. On the surface, the justices must decide whether co-defendants can have their sentences determined in a single hearing, and whether a jury must be told that factors mitigating against a capital sentence don't need to...

It was exactly one year ago today that Donald Trump suggested he was prepared to accept Russian President Vladimir Putin’s denials about attacking American elections
. This, evidently, helped convince the American president that he should trust his Russian counterpart’s word over that of U.S. intelligence agencies.

Russia could take a lesson from the U.S. on the matter of adopting abandoned children, children's ombudsman Pavel Astakhov said Monday

Candidate Richard Charbonneau has no visions of winning a seat on the Brevard County Commission this year. Rather, Charbonneau says
his entry Monday into the race as an official write-in candidate is a ploy to help Republican Trudie Infantini win an Aug. 28 GOP primary against incumbent Curt Smith.

HARTFORD -- When you average 30 goals a year and the meter hasn't started to click in the first six games, no doubt even
center Cory Larose had to be wondering a bit when the first one might find the net.

His numbers changed after Sunday's 2-2 tie with the Lowell Lock Monsters. N...

As I revisit some songs and voices that caught my attention when I was first learning about gospel music, I’m going to try to do
something a little different from simply talking about why I liked them.

I can v...
Whatever the outcome of this weekend’s PN leadership election, one result is already in. On Friday, Simon Busuttil addressed the
PN council for the last time as party leader. This brought to a close a short but eventful chapter in the Nationalist Party’s recent history. It is probably too early to make a thorough assessment of the Simon Busuttil era. Judged only on the basis of electoral results, the immediate verdict is unlikely to be positive...

Some rare good news as we emerge from an intense and exhausting political season: In 2017, investment in broadband rose by $1.5 billion to
$76.3 billion. This reversed a decline of approximately $3.2 billion in 2015-16. What made the difference? Regulation. Specifically, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed the rules it unwisely imposed in 2015 that treated broadband as a monopoly and restored the rules that had been in place for nearly 2...

A Stanford scholar found that talking about social class helped first-generation college students reduce the social-class achievement gap by as much as 63 percent.
Using a "difference-education" approach, these students had higher grade-point averages and took better advantage of college resources than peers who didn't participate in the discussion. Research has shown that first-generation college students – those who do not have a parent with a college degree – often lag behind...

I remember feeling as though Goldwater looked like the strictest principal I could envision, and now I com...

The original CSI may have ended its run just a few short days ago, but for one main CSI cast member, the ride isn’t
over yet.

That’s right, Ted Danson is heading to CSI: Cyber, where he has been added to the ca...

of Baghdad Wednesday, American military officials "had absolutely no doubt whatsoever" that they had at last found their man. The statement by Maj. Gen. William Caldwell was as provocative as it was vague. The effort was, he told reporters, an "exploitation of intelligence, information gathering, human sources, electr...

Researchers found noticeable differences in the brains of CFS patients, offering a small antidote to the skepticism often given to this medically unexplained condition. Ch
ronic-pain conditions are really hard to figure out. Pain is tough to measure, its sources are often plural, and our perception of how much pain is tolerable varies widely by culture.
