A new wave of polls shows Joe Biden is still winning Pennsylvania, the state that could decide the election, as some Pennsylvanians start voting and the campaign reaches its final stages with the first presidential debate Tuesday. And his lead appears substantial. Three new polls found Biden leading President Donald...

Adam Lambert is not Freddie Mercury. Nor, to his credit, does he try to be. What he is, though, is the perfect successor to the iconic Queen vocalist, seemingly predestined to revive the supergroup with his own impossible vocals and over-the-top showmanship. “Live Around the World,” culled from every tour...

Many bars, restaurants and businesses have been under restrictions for almost seven months. The governor’s early orders strongly discouraged church gatherings. Is it science? Is there some logic? Please answer me this: 1. What kind of germs grow on a bar top that don’t grow on a table top? 2....

Question: My husband and I are not on the same page when it comes to our just-turned 4-year-old son. He thinks our son’s behavior is a phase that he will outgrow. To me, his defiance and tantrums are alarming and need to be dealt with now to prevent them from...

In 2016, President Trump said the elections were rigged. He was right. All intelligence agencies and investigations confirmed that Russia interfered with the elections.
