Strange things are happening in Russia these days. In early October, the country inked a deal to sell chickpeas to Pakistan in exchange for mandarin oranges. A few weeks later, the Russian government advised international participants traveling to the southwestern city of Kazan for the BRICS summit to bring cash in U.S. dollars or euros, as major credit card companies such as Visa and Mastercard have suspended operations on Russian soil since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022.

Video NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Parents may want to avoid talking about politics with their kids (and each other!). But in an election year, that’s easier said than done. Social media bursts the information bubble that once protected children and debates over curricula and reading lists put politics front and center in the classroom, leading parents to ask what their children are learning in school.

For the last 10 years, India has been the site of a natural experiment. It’s as if a social scientist was testing to see how long it would take for a determined state to bring the mainstream media to heel in a large parliamentary democracy, where newspapers and broadcasters were privately and diversely owned. The provisional answer to that question is less than a decade.

From George Washington to Joe Biden, Cohen unpacks a pithy quote from each U.S. president in succession. Some of the author’s choices resound down the years—“We hold these truths to be self-evident…” “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”—and most still carry some relevance even when they focus on issues more of the day than of all time.

"Three-Inch Teeth: A Joe Pickett Novel"Don't run with scissors. Be careful with that pocketknife; it'll cut you. That kitchen cleaver will slice your finger. So will paper, for that matter, but you never give it the same respect you do with something, as in the new novel, "Three-Inch Teeth" by C.J. Box, that sports a serious blade or sharp points.

We all have opinions about the best and worst presidents in US history. But – save for the eight who died in office – America’s commanders in chief have gone on to do plenty of good, and some bad, after the White House as well. So, who were the best and worst former presidents? Let’s start with the bottom of the barrel. John Tyler may take the cake on this one, which is an ironic fact, given that he was never supposed to be president in the first place.

In the year of 2024, we may witness the most divisive presidential election in American history since… 2020. With a rematch between Donald Trump and Joe Biden looking likelier every day, America is polarized. These days, Pew surveys show that "Republicans and Democrats view not just the opposing party but also the people in that party in a negative light." Meanwhile, the share of Americans with a negative opinion about both major political parties is at an all-time high.

EXCLUSIVE: If you ask a friend what they know about Herbert Hoover, you’ll get a few quick responses: "The Great Depression," "the stock market crash," "Hoovervilles!" But that’s only part of the story. Hoover lived until the age of 90, even if he’s just remembered for his four years in the White House. What was he doing for those 86 years when he wasn’t at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

EXCLUSIVE: The White House and the Supreme Court have a complicated relationship these days. When President Biden took office, he launched a commission on reorganizing the court, responding to calls for structural reforms — and the court has pushed back on many of his most far-reaching policies. At the same time, former President Trump, who nominated three people to the Supreme Court, faces multiple legal matters that may end up before the justices.
