Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 04:40:27 GMT

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump on Saturday blasted his historic federal indictment as “ridiculous” and “baseless,” saying in his first public appearance since the charges were unsealed that the 37 felony counts were an attack on his supporters as he tried to turn legal peril into political advantage.Speaking at the Georgia Republican Convention, Trump cast his indictment by the Department of Justice as an attempt to hurt his chances of returning to the White House as he campaigns for a second term in office.“They’ve launched one witch hunt after another to try and stop our movement, to thwart the will of the American people,” Trump said, later adding, “In the end, they’re not coming after me. They’re coming after you.”The strategy is a well-worn one for Trump, who remains the front-runner for the 2024 GOP nomination despite his mounting legal woes. He planned to speak to a Republican audience in North Carolina later Saturday.The indictment unsealed Fr...

Maura Healey, one of the nation’s first two openly lesbian governors, said ahead of the parade that she was excited to participate.“This is a particularly special one to be marching in th...

NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — A Native American tribe in North Dakota bought an idle pipeline from the energy company Enbridge to help deliver oil from wells on its reservation to the broader market.The Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation announced the deal Friday but didn’t disclose how much it paid. The tribe said it expects the pipeline, which will connect its oil facilities on its Fort Berthold Reservation to Enbridge’s large pipeline network, will be up and running within a year. “This is a major step in enhancing our ability to get our trust assets of oil and gas out to market,” tribal chair Mark Fox said to the Bismarck Tribune.There are more than 2,600 active oil and gas wells on the reservation that produced an average of 144,190 barrels of oil per day in February, according to the most recent figures from the state Department of Mineral Resources. Regulators estimate there is potential for 3,911 additional oil and gas wells on the reservation.The 31-mile pipeline is the...

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 04:40:27 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – Making an Old Fashioned isn’t difficult. You only need a few ingredients, unlike some of the more complicated cocktails on the market. Depending on your bartender, and what state you’re in, what your Old Fashioned looks like may be a bit different. The history of the whiskey cocktail is a little muddled but many agree its roots reach into the late 1800s.The first printed reference to the drink is said to date back to 1862 when a recipe for an “Old Fashioned Holland Gin Cocktail” was included in “Jerry Thomas’ Bartenders Guide: How to Mix Drinks.” The recipe called for mixologists to crush a small lump of sugar in a whiskey glass with a little water, according to Thrillist. Then, “add a lump of ice, two dashes of Angostura bitters, a small piece of lemon peel, one jigger Holland gin.” The drink was to be mixed, then served.  Hungover? Avoid your cravings — try these foods, drinks instead Despite Thomas’ recipe, others say Louisville, Kentucky is the birthplace...
