LOS ANGELES — In a wide-ranging interview aired Sunday, Harry and Meghan described painful discussions about the color of their son’s skin, losing royal protection and the intense pressures that led the Duchess of Sussex to contemplate suicide. The interview with Oprah Winfrey was the couple’s first since they stepped down from royal duties and the two-hour special included numerous revelations likely to reverberate on both sides of the Atlantic. Harry told Winfrey that he felt trapped by royal life and was surprised that he was cut off financially and lost his security last year. He also said he felt his family did not support Meghan, who acknowledged her naivete about royal life before marrying Harry, as she endured tabloid attacks and false stories.

The TV special was highly anticipated because Harry and Meghan are now allowed to … [Read more...] about Meghan reveals she ‘didn’t want to be alive anymore’ in bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey

close Video Biden rescinds Trump's ban on funding for overseas abortions Former NFL player Ben Watson expresses disappointment with the reverse of anti-abortion policy and previews his address to the March for Life on 'Fox & Friends.' Ambassador Wendy Sherman, who served as President Obama's under secretary of state for political affairs from 2011 to 2015, is not qualified to serve as our next deputy secretary of state . Sherman's appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Wednesday made this abundantly clear. In her confirmation hearings, the ambassador dodged substantive questions on her role in failed foreign policies, including the disastrous Iran nuclear deal that she helped negotiate. This alone should be disqualifying, but for anyone familiar with her past work, there is another enormous reason for concern: Sherman’s radical position on abortion . JAMES CARAFANO: BIDEN VS. IRAN – CAN PRESIDENT AVOID … [Read more...] about Sen. Marco Rubio: Biden nominee Wendy Sherman for deputy secretary of state? No way. Here’s why

More than eight in 10 Americans personally say the country is more divided than united. Similar polling numbers show most other Americans agree with them. Are these real disputes or confusion over what the other side thinks? Research by the think tank Populace suggests it’s confusion. This creates collective illusions, or gaps between an individual’s personal opinions and that same individual’s perception of what others think.
