ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Mikel Oyarzabal scored from the penalty spot after a heady play by teenager Lamine Yamal, Pedro Porro added another goal and Spain advanced to its first World Cup final since winning in 2010 with a 2-0 victory over France on Tuesday. A day after his 19th birthday, ...
HAMPTON, Ga. — A late brush with the wall wasn't enough to send Ryan Blaney to pit row. The decision paid off with a dominant victory. Blaney emerged from a three-wide battle on the final lap of overtime in the weather-delayed NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta early Monday.

Carson Hocevar and Ty Gibbs rounded out the top four. Wallace was penalized for passing ...
There are moments when history reaches across the centuries with startling clarity. Standing in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, Italy, and looking at Ambrogio Lorenzetti's "Allegory of Good and Bad Government," I had one of those moments.

To conquer a nation, first rob it of its history and heroes. That's a quick summary of Marxist strategy. President Donald Trump used the 250th-anniversary celebration of our nation's independence to call out communism as the gravest threat we face, and to warn that Marxists are trying to cancel our heroic founders and attack our longstanding values. "You can be loyal to Karl Marx, or you can be loyal to America. You can be a communist, or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both," he told the Mount Rushmore audience. He's right. Under communism, there are no heroes -- only ...
