Kim gets back on track with Scottish Open win

NORTH BERWICK, Scotland (AP) — Tom Kim played bogey-free during a tight race to the finish Sunday and closed with a 6-under 64 for a two-shot victory in the Scottish Open, his first PGA Tour title since the fall of 2023. It was the latest and best sign the 24-year-old Kim had his game on track after spending all season outside the top 100 in the world. He finished third in the U.S. Open, and then outlasted a strong field and a marathon day at The Renaissance Club. Kim, who reached as high as No. 11 in the world at age 21 when he won in Las Vegas nearly three years ago, delivered ...

The church fathers of early Christianity are showing their swag – on TikTok

It begins with the music: a late 1990s rap song. Then someone appears on screen, moving slowly into a pose that can only be called deeply, theatrically serious. Then comes the reveal: The video fades from the person into a medieval painting of a haloed man doing almost the exact same pose. Videos imitating "church fathers," bishops and theologians who helped shape early Christianity have been popping up across social media since late 2025. Several versions have drawn hundreds of thousands of views. In part, they're funny because of the incongruity: hoodies, bedrooms and phone ...

Spoiled Socialists

More young people vote for socialists. They believe socialism is good for the poor, and "pro-working class." But is it? In my new video, Leyla Taghiyeva, my latest Stossel Fellow, interviews psychologist Rob Henderson, who points out that few poor people want socialism: "When you actually see who supports socialism, these are people who are relatively well off," he says. Henderson grew up in foster homes before getting degrees from Yale and Cambridge. He calls socialism a "luxury belief," "an idea that confers status while ultimately inflicting costs on people less ...

Mamdani’s twisted view of America

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani delivered a Fourth of July message that sounded like America is on its death bed. Immigrant citizens standing on each side of him as he sat at a desk used by George Washington, were even more stoic. July Fourth is supposed to be a celebratory time. Not for Mamdani who looked as if he had lost his best friend. After some obligatory praise for the nation to which he immigrated, Mamdani said that for "the powerful, America is an arena of supremacy, where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, ...
