For the first time in more than 100 years, the laughing red cow has traded her trademark smile for a somber expression on select packages of The Laughing Cow Creamy Original cheese wedges rolling out nationwide. Bel Brands told Fox News Digital the frown is only temporary and promised the mystery will begin to unravel in the coming days.

“Ijust want what’s best for you.” My parents said that to me countless times when I questioned a decision they made on my behalf. Most parents say some version of that. Even though as children we may not understand why our parents did something, we could trust that our parents were in fact doing what was best for us and were trying to put us first. But Nikole Hannah-Jones’ daughter cannot say the same. For, as Hannah-Jones herself writes in a New York Times op-ed, she “had not chosen [her daughter]” nor had she given her “what she needed to...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In the latest wave of legal turmoil enveloping the nation's capital, cable network CNN sued the Trump administration for allegedly violating its First Amendment rights to fabricate the news. CNN, MSNOW, and Politico expressed outrage after President Donald Trump expelled the outlets from the White House, arguing that his administration was denying them their constitutional rights to make things up and report them as facts. "He has no right to keep us from making things up," said CNN personality Kaitlan Collins. "It is the right — and indeed the duty — of major news outlets in the...

A Florida couple were hit by lightning while walking hand in hand – and they hailed a quick-thinking group of good Samaritans who helped save their lives. Aaron Walenga, 48, and his wife of 17 years, Clare Walenga, had just dropped their kids off at church and were walking along the West Orange Trail in central Florida when they were struck by the bolt on Sept. 2, WHSV reported. CPR was given to Clare Walenga, 43, after she was struck, while Aaron was hospitalized, but both survived the near-death experience thanks to the actions of four pals on their weekly...

I listened to a missionary to the Ukraine in church today. He showed some pictures of Christians living in Crimea, now under Russian control, who had to worship in secret because Putin has outlawed Christianity. I also heard from a different preacher that Christians are no longer allowed to worship and assemble freely in Russia. Is that true? I was there in 1995 and Protestants and Catholics could worship freely.

Disney+ has revised its Subscriber Agreement to explicitly permit advertising before and after movies and shows across every subscription plan, including the ad-free Premium tier that customers pay a premium specifically to avoid commercials. According to the updated terms, which Disney began emailing to subscribers and requiring them to accept via an on-screen prompt, all plans “may include limited advertising content, ads before or after content playback, clips, and trailers for Disney content, products, and services, as well as branded or sponsored content.” Disney describes the update as a “clarification” of existing language rather than an entirely new policy, and...

During the 2012 presidential campaign, Barack Obama infamously told business owners, “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that.” Obama argued individual success was fake, instead, success depended on other people. Republicans heard the real point: Obama was trying to diminish the work, sacrifice, and legacy of successful business owners. Dan McLaughlin understood the problem at the time. “If you convince people that success has little to do w/work & merit, you justify more burdens on successful.” Fair point. People who build something deserve credit for building it. But that principle should apply not just when the achievement...

I know that there was an X post during the 2024 election where someone (I think it was Brennen or Clapper) was calling for Trump's death. Now I can find no reference to that. Can someone help me out?

U.S. President Donald Trump announced the United States, Denmark, and Greenland had reached an agreement giving the U.S. permanent rights over SECURITY matters on the island. One of Trump’s first acts in his second term was to offer Denmark the chance to sell Greenland to America, an offer accompanied by a threat to take the island by force if necessary. Call it the opening bid—and it set the Euroweanies wild. Now, two years later, Trump has secured all of his goals.

Some bros thought they could get away with $250,000 in fried chicken, but ended up giving us all a great story about how stereotypes are extremely on point. According to authorities, officers rolled up on the group as they were transferring pallets of poultry from an 18-wheeler in the back parking lot of the Economy Inn in Memphis. The suspects, as you might imagine, promptly fled the scene. All 13 were eventually caught. Police recovered three handguns, about $110,000 worth of the stolen poultry, and, for good measure, some cocaine and fentanyl. We're not sure whether this chicken was meant...

After all the atrocities they have inflicted on this nation since their formation roughly 160 years ago, a white, unnervingly pointy hood evokes, without a doubt and without much room for interpretation, the Ku Klux Klan. So much so that even the slightest resemblance can make the hair on the back of one’s neck rise. A new ad campaign by Converse is proving that. In late August, the legacy shoe brand began rolling out images from its latest campaign for the Chuck 70 X, a modern spin on its classic high-top. Weeks later, they are apologizing after one of those...
