In 2024, Republicans may complete a historic foreign policy reversal
CNN — The GOP in 2024 is moving toward a reprise of its most consequential foreign policy debate ever in a presidential primary. Only this time, the results may be reversed. The 1952 GOP presidential nomination fight proved a turning point in the party’s history, when Dwight Eisenhower, a champion of internationalism and alliance with Europe to contain the Soviet Union, defeated Sen. Robert Taft, a skeptic of international alliances who wanted to shift America’s focus from defending Europe toward confronting communist China. A similar divide is opening within the GOP now. In a distant echo of Taft, former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the race’s two…

England suffer historic humiliation after France’s Twickenham tour de force | Six Nations 2023
Talk about a guillotine falling with brutal finality. England have endured some chastening days over the years but nothing on the scale of this record thumping by France, who had previously failed to win a Six Nations game in south-west London since 2005.

And both would be South Asian, specifically of Indian descent — which observers called a massive feat considering the community makes up only about 1{515baef3fee8ea94d67a98a2b336e0215adf67d225b0e21a4f5c9b13e8fbd502} of the country’s population and produced…

A historic show of Black political unity is light on policy
On Thursday, the Rev. Al Sharpton convened what he billed as a historic assembly of New York’s prime Black elected officials — which is also to say a conference of New York’s major elected officials. Blacks occupy just about every situation of main political affect in New York, from mayor to condition attorney general to the state’s two legislative leaders. And on Thursday they sought to get on the identical web page concerning the concern of community protection. “Never in advance of in the historical past of this point out have we noticed so several of our major officials come from the Black local community. And it was our concept…
