A new report exploring how restaurants are performing in the United States and which brands American diners prefer found that McDonald’s comes to mind first when most consumers consider eating fast food — even though other chains ranked higher for burger quality.In its survey, “Best Bites 2026: U.S. Restaurant Brand Rankings,” the international market research group YouGov sought to discover: “Which restaurant brands come out on top among American adults?”The group surveyed U.S. adults about restaurant considerations, food quality and dining preferences.FAST-FOOD GIANT DETHRONED AS CUSTOMER STUDY CROWNS AMERICA’S NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT CHAIN”One of the more interesting findings is that McDonald’s leads all fast-food brands in consideration when Americans are deciding where to purchase fast food, despite ranking behind several competitors on best-tasting burgers,” Ashley Brown, the Georgia-based senior director of YouGov, told Fox News Digital.”At the same time, McDonald’s is the clear leader when consumers are asked which restaurant has the best fries,” she added. “Taken together, the findings suggest consumers evaluate fast-food brands across multiple menu items and attributes, not just burgers alone, when deciding where to eat.”The YouGov survey asked respondents, “When you are in the market next to…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! EXCLUSIVE: Vice President JD Vance said years spent chasing academic, professional and financial success ultimately left him searching for something deeper, leading him back to Christianity and eventually to the Catholic faith he practices today.”I was really worried about where I went to school and what kind of job I had and what kind of money that I made. But I felt like that wasn’t making me a good person, whereas the Christians in my life seem to have it figured out,” Vance told Fox News Digital in an interview as his new memoir, “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” hit bookshelves. Whether they were rich or poor, whatever their background or education was. They were just much better people; they were much more gracious and much more kind.”Vance’s book debuted on Tuesday, recounting the path that took him from a Protestant childhood to atheism — and ultimately to the Catholic faith he embraces today. Vance’s reflections come as he is increasingly regarded as one of the Republican Party’s strongest potential presidential candidates for 2028.JD VANCE RELEASING BOOK ABOUT FAITH JOURNEY, CONVERSION TO CATHOLICISM “There have been so many people who have…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Vice President JD Vance is pulling back the curtain back on President Donald Trump’s strict rules for Cabinet members, specifically the traditional dress code.Speaking on the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast, Vance explained that Trump’s classic style rules — including a disdain for brown shoes — are rooted in the belief that public officials must honor the institutions they serve.”The president has a certain sense that you ought to respect the place, you ought to respect the institution, respect the office. And one of the ways you do that is by dressing like a normal person,” Vance said in the episode released Thursday. “And I think that’s — it’s a very old-fashioned thing.”NO MORE CASUAL: STATE DEPARTMENT IMPOSES FIRST-EVER DRESS CODE ON DIPLOMATS According to Vance, the president expects his team to always project professionalism, drawing a contrast with the style of many modern-day politicians. He laid out some of the rules, telling Hannity that Trump almost always wears a navy suit, black shoes and a solid tie.VANCE ADMITS INFAMOUS ‘CHILDLESS CAT LADIES’ COMMENT DISTRACTED FROM HIS MESSAGE TO AMERICANS”Well, I mean, he always has — it’s always a navy suit.…
Every armed citizen needs to understand the risks of civil liability after a self-defense shooting.Criminal acquittal or prosecutorial decision not to prosecute is not the conclusion of legal exposure following a self-defense shooting. The criminal and civil justice systems operate under fundamentally different rules and apply different standards of proof. A person can emerge from criminal proceedings without a formal charge and still face years of costly civil litigation. Understanding this distinction is a practical necessity for any citizen who carries a firearm.Two Parallel Systems, Two Different StandardsIn a criminal proceeding, the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, a standard that reflects the severity of criminal consequences. Civil litigation operates under no such constraint. In a civil action, the plaintiff need only establish negligence by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant’s conduct fell below the standard of a reasonably prudent person, meaning it is more likely than not that the defendant acted unreasonably. The evidentiary bar is lower, the procedural protections are fewer, and the financial consequences can be substantial.A person who uses force in self-defense may satisfy the legal standard for criminal justification and still be found civilly liable for the same conduct. The underlying…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison lashed out when asked about his handling of the Minnesota fraud scandal following Vice President JD Vance’s threat to refer him to the Justice Department, while pushing back on a widely cited $8 billion figure as only mentioned by those “aligned with the Trump Administration.””That is a false number,” Ellison said. “The fact is, is that fraud is always wrong.” “Why don’t you give me a break, man?” he continued.The comments come as Vance, the head of the Trump administration’s new anti-fraud task force, threatened to press the Justice Department to open an investigation into Ellison’s alleged knowledge of the widespread fraud scheme in Minnesota.VANCE REFERS TIM WALZ, MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL TO DOJ FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OVER STATE’S ALLEGED FRAUD When asked about the common estimate of Minnesota fraud ballooning to about $8 billion, Ellison grew visibly frustrated with the reporter and ended the interview, claiming the number is only used by those of a certain political affiliation.”If you ask the newspapers for a forensic accounting, the number you mentioned is tightly identified with people of a very unique political persuasion aligned with the Trump administration,” Ellison told…

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter turned up the heat on day one of Coachella.The 26-year-old singer delivered a star-studded spectacle Friday night, turning the desert into her own “Sabrinawood” — with a glittering playground, Hollywood fantasy, Broadway spectacle and a cheeky house party.Carpenter saved one of her boldest statements for the final stretch, rocking a sizzling, see-through black lace bodysuit that left little to the imagination.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday posted on social media that the United States military has started to clear the Strait of Hormuz, and that all of Iran’s minelaying ships have been sunk.“We’re now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post, adding that “all 28” of Iran’s “mine dropper boats are also lying at the bottom of the sea.” Minutes before Trump’s post, reports started to emerge about the presence of U.S. Navy ships in the strait.An Axios journalist, citing an unnamed U.S. official, posted that “several” U.S. ships had crossed the strait on Saturday, though Iranian state TV soon after reported a denial from an official with Iran’s military. Trump has repeatedly said that American forces have destroyed Iran’s navy and air force while crippling its ballistic missile and nuclear programs. But fear of Iranian attacks on shipping over the past several weeks has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical conduit for global oil supplies. Throttling the strait has disrupted global energy markets. U.S. gasoline prices have spiked even though most of the oil that flows through the waterway does not go to the United States.

Military aircraft design of the Cold War era could be described as akin to physics, or, more specifically, to Newton’s Third Law of motion, which states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” From lessons learned in the Vietnam War, the United States Air Force determined it needed both “superior” air superiority fighters and cheaper, agile multi-role fighters. That led to the development of the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, designed to dominate air-to-air combat, and the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon, which filled the gap as a more versatile, cost-effective fighter. A Polish air force MiG-29 jet fighter aircraft escorts a U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules aircraft out of Ramstein Air Base, Germany in 2021. Image: U.S. Air Force The programs were successful, as both the Eagle and the Fighting Falcon have been continually upgraded and remain in service for more than five decades. The latest version of the F-15, produced by Boeing (which merged with McDonnell Douglas), is the F-15EX Eagle II, and Lockheed Martin (which acquired General Dynamics’ aviation business) is now producing the Block 70/71 models of the Fighting Falcon for export.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., released a video Friday evening strongly denying the allegations of sexual assault made against him, calling the accusations “flat out false” and “absolutely false.”Swalwell, who is the leading Democratic candidate in California’s gubernatorial race, was accused by a former female staffer of sexually assaulting her while she was intoxicated on multiple occasions. The bombshell allegations, which included reports of sexual harassment against other female staffers, were reported by the San Francisco Chronicle on Friday.The unnamed female accuser reportedly worked for Swalwell for about two years and said he pursued her shortly after she was hired as a 21-year-old staffer in his district office — despite him being married.”A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations and I thought it was important that you see and hear from me directly. These allegations of sexual assault are flat out false,” Swalwell said in a video on social media. “They are absolutely false. They did not happen. They have never happened. And I will fight them with everything that I have.”PELOSI, CALIFORNIA DEMS SLAM SWALWELL OVER BOMBSHELL SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS: ‘INDEFENSIBLE’ The alleged victim accused Swalwell of…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is facing backlash on social media after it was reported that his lawyer was sending cease-and-desist letters to Swalwell’s accusers a day before multiple bombshell allegations were published on Friday.Swalwell, who once called on lawmakers to hear out women raising allegations against Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh during his 2018 confirmation hearings and said they “deserve to be heard,” is now being slammed for hypocrisy.”I saw continued demeaning of victims of sexual assault, people who deserve to be heard, people who deserve their allegations to be investigated and a president who wants to rush this through,” Swalwell said in an interview with MSNBC at the time.”And so, for Brett Kavanaugh’s sake, if he is innocent, I hope tomorrow he opens his statement and says, ‘You know what? Bring in all the victims, all of them to be questioned.’ That will clear his name if he is indeed innocent,” Swalwell added.SWALWELL VOWS TO MAKE ICE AGENTS ‘UN-HIRABLE’ IN CALIFORNIA STATE GOVERNMENT POSITIONS The resurfaced clip comes as Swalwell has made efforts to downplay allegations against him as he leads a crowded field of gubernatorial hopefuls…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A viral new treat at Yankee Stadium in New York City was gobbled up almost as soon as it arrived last weekend — flying off concession stands in one inning.The team’s Mini Dessert “Chicken” Bucket — ice cream designed to resemble a fried chicken drumstick — sold out after drawing intense fan demand during the opening homestand, according to reports.The dessert features vanilla ice cream coated in caramelized white chocolate and candied cornflakes with a chocolate-covered pretzel “bone.” It quickly became a social media sensation after it was previewed ahead of the 2026 season, as The New York Post reported. MLB OPENING DAY SERVES UP ALL-STAR FOOD LINEUP THAT KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARKThe $10.99 dessert, which comes in a mini souvenir bucket, drew long lines from the outset. Fans packed concession areas at Yankee Stadium, with some reporting waits of 20 minutes or more just to try the limited-time item. “Given how well-received the item was on media day, interest from fans was tremendous, and we sold out of the item by the first inning of Saturday’s game,” Yankees senior director of communications Michael Margolis said in a statement to The Athletic…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Trump recently complained, “I get 93 percent bad publicity,” and studies from the Media Research Center, where I work, have shown time and again that evening news coverage on the broadcast networks is around 90% negative, month after month. How can that be? It’s because these networks will find something negative no matter which direction the president, or the country, takes.The motto might seem like “Good news is not news.” Or maybe it’s not the big story.Take the Artemis space mission to the moon. On April 1, during what may have been the most important moment in American space history since 1972, ABC’s “Good Morning America” aired seven anti-Trump reports for over 15 minutes before it finally started covering space. ABC was especially interested in arguing that Trump was out to undermine confidence in the midterm elections by pushing back on the inadequacies of mail-in voting.Later in the day, when it was clear that the Artemis launch was a success, NBC reporter Tom Costello didn’t want any flag-waving for the USA: “I think it’s important and relevant to take a moment and say wow, we should be collectively, not as Americans,…
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! One of President Donald Trump’s top Democratic foes running for the Senate is taking a page from his and conservatives’ playbook in their pitch to reform the filibuster.Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills, who is running to unseat longtime Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, released her policy platform in recent days. Among several pitches to voters is a call to reform the filibuster. Mills, if elected, said in the 19-page document that she would require “Senators to remain on the Senate floor and actually speak, rather than simply threatening a filibuster to delay action.”The filibuster has become a flashpoint in the Senate, particularly for Republicans, given that its current 60-vote threshold requires legislation to be bipartisan in nature. And Mills’ position, which has been previously supported by Democrats, is one Trump and some in the GOP are pushing for to pass a massive election integrity bill.GRAHAM EYES ‘DOWN PAYMENT’ ON TRUMP-BACKED SAVE ACT WITHOUT DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT Her desire to change the filibuster echoes one made by Trump and conservatives, both in Congress and online, that have demanded Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., launch a talking filibuster to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE)…
