Belarus is in the process of readying missiles for combat as the war in Ukraine enters its second year. In a Telegram post on Friday, the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus shared a video of several vehicles transporting missiles and wrote that "as part of combat readiness measures, one of the missile units is moving to the designated area." Friday marked the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, after President Vladimir Putin announced the "special military operation" on this day last year. Since the start of the war, Russian troops have been stationed in Belarus, which...

Russia told the West on Friday that it would view as an attack on itself any actions that threatened Russian peacekeepers in Moldova's breakaway Transdniestria region, one day after Moscow accused Ukraine of planning an invasion. In Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy rejected Moscow's assertion that Ukraine wanted to take over the region, while Moldova reiterated there was no truth to the allegations. The warning comes amid increased concerns in Moldova, a small ex-Soviet republic bordering Ukraine, of a possible Russian threat. Its pro-European President Maia Sandu this month accused Moscow of plotting a coup. On Thursday, Russia accused Kyiv of...

Vice President Kamala Harris is getting bombarded with criticism for touting that the Biden administration has reduced electricity bills for working families. One California restaurant owner, Jeff Kacha, is particularly frustrated with the Vice Presidents' comments, arguing on "Fox & Friends First" that his restaurant's electric bill has risen to $8,000 a month. "For working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like schools supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation," Harris said during a speech Wednesday on efforts to lower costs for homebuyers at Bowie...

Corporate ethics watchdog National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) filed an exempt solicitation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday that urged fellow Apple shareholders to vote against Gore as a director nominee at the tech giant's annual meeting, which is slated for March 10, arguing that the former U.S. vice president is not qualified for the role and that "his political activism poses to Apple a reputational risk that is not worth his limited...

The recent rescriptum approved by Francis and the Prefect of the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Cardinal Roche, continues to elicit reactions. The new document, which reinforces the Motu Proprio, Traditinis custodes, establishes that the use of a parish church or the erection of a personal parish for the celebration of the Eucharist according to the Missale Romanum of 1962 and the granting of licence to priests ordained after the publication of the Motu proprio Traditionis custodes to celebrate according to the Missale Romanum of 1962, will be the responsibility of Rome.

Butler County, Pennsylvania has terminated its designation as a “sanctuary county” for illegal aliens. County officials announced the move on Tuesday, prompting Butler’s prison board to announce that it will now accept Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers that include a warrant. “Borders don’t count, anymore,” Pennsylvania State Rep. Stephanie Scialabba (R) said Friday in an interview with “Fox & Friends First,” when she was asked why the sanctuary issue was even a concern for a county located so far from the southwest border. …

— You have repeatedly said that, in your opinion, Putin will not stop in Ukraine. What exactly do you have in mind? Moldova, the Baltic States, or a self-destructive war with the United States? — In principle, such a worldview has no boundaries. This formula has been adopted almost officially: Russia doesn't end anywhere. This is the standard definition of an empire, because an empire doesn't recognize any borders. Borders in Europe appear in 1648, when the Westphalian system was formed, which later gradually ends with empires. There is an idea that there are borders between countries: "Here we are,...

A small Ohio pizzeria is gaining nationwide attention after their hiring sign seeking “non-stupid people” went viral. The owner of Santino’s Pizzeria joined “Fox & Friends” to discuss his eye-catching effort to get quality applicants at his Columbus restaurant. “The intention behind the sign was to use humor to funnel more applicants to us and, you know, set aside from the other businesses in the area,” Rob said Friday. “We have not had much luck traditionally on Monster or Indeed, or even flags in a front yard bringing people in. So we just thought it’d be something more untraditional, and...

A man in his 80s died after he was savagely mauled by three dogs including several pitbulls in the west side of San Antonio on Friday afternoon.

A mega-prison in El Salvador has opened its doors for its first 2,000 inmates of suspected gang members - who upon their arrival found out there are not enough beds for everyone and there are no mattresses at all. The facility is designed to house 40,000 suspected gangsters and the security minister for the Central American country warned inmates they 'will never walk out of here'. The move to the high-tech prison follows President Nayib Bukele's 'war' on crime. Bukele tweeted that 'at dawn, in a single operation, we transferred the first 2,000 members to the Center for the Confinement...

Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's decision to release 41,000 hours of video from the Jan 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol has struck fear into some leading Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called it "a grave mistake. There were very good reasons why former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) declined to make these videos available for public viewing. I can't tell you why she refused to air them, but trust me, she had good reasons. The American people have to have faith that their government is looking out for their best interests. Widespread viewing of these videos could...

The migrant shot dead by an Arizona rancher on his land last month was likely a cartel drug smuggler or scout, according to a former Border Patrol chief, who says the area is known for 'violence'.

That charge has now been downgraded to a second degree murder charge. He denies the murder, insisting he only ever fired warning shots when he saw what he perceived to be a gang of cartel smugglers on his land. Former Border Patrol...
