FIRST ON FOX — Americans aren't necessarily quitting drinking, but they are drinking differently.Michelob Ultra Zero has surged to become the No. 1 top-selling and fastest growing non-alcoholic beer in the country, overtaking Heineken 0.0 just 12 months after launching in January 2025, according to new data from Circana. But industry observers say the milestone reflects something larger than a single brand's breakout year. The rapid ascent underscores a structural shift in how Americans socialize, moderate and think about alcohol. Rather than abstaining entirely, many consumers are alternating between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages — a practice known as "zebra striping" — allowing

Many have commented favorably on the speech that Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave recently at a security conference in Munich.  What they seemed to admire most was his willingness to look beyond some of the particular political and economic matters that preoccupy policymakers on both sides of the Atlantic — the Ukraine War, climate change, immigration, etc. — and to consider the cultural convictions that both Europe and America share. Secretary Rubio lyrically invoked Dante, the Cologne Cathedral, Shakespeare, the democratic form of government, the university system — even the Beatles and the Rolling Stones — as representations of that

For those who speak of the global perils to democracy, a grim milestone deserves their rapt attention and full-throated condemnation: The Feb. 9 sentencing in a Chinese court of Hong Kong dissident Jimmy Lai.In the imagination of the Chinese Communist Party, Lai’s sentencing closes the book on a troublesome man: a Catholic, a publisher, a democrat. Lai, 78 and in failing health, was condemned under the elastic logic of the Beijing-imposed National Security Law, and is meant to disappear quietly into history.We must hope that Lai’s story instead endures as an indictment of China’s regime.Not for violence, espionage or corruption.

I regret to inform you that Bono, the aging Irish pop star and front man for the band U2, is at it again, lecturing us poors as he always does.
