An AI-controlled fighter jet took the Air Force leader for a historic ride. What that means for war

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) — With the midday sun blazing, an experimental orange and white F-16 fighter jet launched with a familiar roar that is a hallmark of U.S. airpower. But the aerial combat that followed was unlike any other: This F-16 was controlled by artificial intelligence, not a human pilot. And riding in the front seat was Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall.

Texas Republicans are criticizing a Biden administration parole program for four nationalities after it was revealed this week that three of the top destinations for migrants under the program are in Texas -- on top of the numbers it is already seeing coming across the border.

"It's just another layer to the entirety of what we're dealing with," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas told Fox News Digital in an interview. "But that's what people need to understand, it's a very specific program designed to flood the system, misusing parole to do it."

Just What Kind of a Third-Party Candidate Is R.F.K. Jr.?

With six months to go until the election, it’s still too early to judge whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Democrat-turned-independent candidate for president, will prove to be more than a mere spoiler.

He starts out with roughly 10 percent of the vote and one of the most famous names in American politics. It’s enough to at least contemplate whether he’ll be the kind of third-party candidate who makes a lasting mark.

Even without having won the presidency, third-party candidates have often played an important and even healthy role in American...

Jerry Seinfeld Can No Longer Be About Nothing

Jerry Seinfeld became a mic-cradling, cereal-eating, “did-you-ever-notice”-ing avatar of American Jewish life with a brazenly shrugging persona: a merry indifference to weighty material as a comedian and in his megahit TV show about nothing, as petty and apolitical as he seemed to be.

Now — off-camera, at least — Mr. Seinfeld appears to have reached his post-nothing period.

Since the attacks of Oct. 7 in Israel, and through their bloody and volatile aftermath in Gaza, Mr. Seinfeld, 70, has emerged as a strikingly public voice against antisemitism...

When Donald J. Trump held a rally in Rome, Ga., in March, his audience included a second-generation supporter and first-time rallygoer named Luke Harris.

“My parents were always supporters of him — especially when he was going against Hillary,” recalled Mr. Harris, who was in sixth grade in Cartersville, Ga., when Mr. Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 to win the presidency.

Mr. Harris, now a 19-year-old student at Kennesaw State University, “just grew up looking at him, listening, watching him,” he said. “I kind of grew into it.”

Kaye Peterson, a 66-year-old retired librarian, is a direct beneficiary of one of President Biden’s proudest domestic policy achievements: lowering the cost of insulin for seniors.

A longtime diabetic, Ms. Peterson for much of her life spent around $300 a month on insulin to keep her blood sugar at a safe level. Now she pays $35 and uses the savings to help fund her room in an assisted living facility in Kentucky.

Mr. Biden’s policy, she said on a recent afternoon, was a “godsend” because it enshrines into law that Americans on Medicare, the...

Walter Prescher is a Methodist pastor in rural Texas who served three Army tours in Iraq. He’s also a father of 12 grown children, with nine still at home. And he’s one of 23 million Americans who could lose a critical government subsidy allowing them to have internet access when it expires at the end of May.

"That just gave us $50 a month to pay for the kids to do sports or band or whatever they wanted to do, so it helped out the budget," Prescher told Fox News Digital.

Millions of people in low-income households are at risk of losing a $30 to...
