COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Many thought Dante Cephas would make an instant impact. When he was at Kent State, he was one of the best wide receivers in the Group of Five. And when he committed to Penn State in January, he was one of the top targets in the...

The Democratic National Committee is harming the party by not sponsoring debates among presidential candidates. Let us hear what Joe Biden, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson have to say. What are you afraid of? We are Americans. We can take in debates. If Kennedy gets the nod from...
