The New York grand jury investigating whether former President Donald Trump should be indicted for allegedly making an illegal hush money payment to pornographic actress Stormy Daniels is reportedly expected to reconvene Monday. The grand jury last met Tuesday — the day Trump claimed he would be arrested — and did not deliberate the case on Wednesday and Thursday as expected. The 23 jurors will likely reconvene Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter. A majority vote from the jury is required for Trump to be indicted. The potential charges stem from Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen paying Daniels $130,000 before the 2016 election to keep her from speaking about an alleged affair with Trump. In 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance laws when making the payment.

Pairing Wine And Food At Oriole, A Michelin Two-Star In Chicago
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Creating the ideal pairing of wine and food is something that many of us struggle with, and would love to know more about how to make this task a bit more simple. So where to turn to for guidance? How about the wine director at Oriole, a Michelin two-star restaurant in Chicago? Her name is Emily Rosenfeld, and I sat down recently with her to learn her thoughts about what makes for a great wine and food pairing, both specifically with the food at Oriole where she selects all the wines, but also in general, regarding more common dishes consumers enjoy at home.

Always looking to learn more, she would make the short trip to Chicago often to discover top restaurants and try new wines. Eventually realizing that there would be a greater selection of prized wines from around the world in Chicago compared to her hometown, she moved … [Read more...] about Pairing Wine And Food At Oriole, A Michelin Two-Star In Chicago

‘Succession’ Season 4, Episode 1 Review: Rummage Sale
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Succession is back for its fourth and final season and that makes me both tremendously happy and a little bit sad. Happy to get one more delicious season of family drama, backstabbing and plotting that makes House Of The Dragon almost look tame by comparison; sad that it’s almost over, of course. I could handle a couple more seasons of Succession. In any case, there’s blood in the water. Logan Roy is making his last gambit and the sharks are circling. Who will end up sitting on the Iron Waystar RoyCo Throne? Who will bend the knee? Let’s talk about it. The Revenge Of The Kids When we left off at the end of Season 3, Logan Roy (Brian Cox) had just made a surprise play. After meeting with GoJo creator Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgard) the Roy patriarch decided that now was the time to sell rather than acquire. Matsson would take over both companies—instead of one of Roy’s idiot children—and Logan would walk away … [Read more...] about ‘Succession’ Season 4, Episode 1 Review: Rummage Sale
Polymath Of Rap, IDK, Applies Both Sides Of His Brain
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin IDK’s creative acumen, his savvy for business, and his thoughtful airs pierce. His inner seas are oceans of song, direction, and rhymes of personal revolution. IDK is a polymath. He performs as musician and manager alike, handling the economics of his artistry, negotiating his deals firsthand. It’s as unusual as it is laudable and difficult. He’s collaborated with The Neighborhood, Saba, KAYTRANADA, Domo Genesis, Young Thug, A$AP Ferg, Denzel Curry , and Bas. Dancing with his right brain, he turns silence into capturing sound. Balancing his left brain, he confers with the powers of bureaucracy, law, and record labels. “Most artists that I meet are focused on the right brain. They tend to struggle a lot. They feel restricted. And there's a tendency to rely on their team or their manager. It’s good to have people like that, but dependence could affect your livelihood because you can't control anyone else,” said IDK. … [Read more...] about Polymath Of Rap, IDK, Applies Both Sides Of His Brain
PCSO to expand charity operations
MANILA, Philippines—The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office plans to widen the reach of its operations in 2012 by setting up offices in Mindanao and other places where poor residents could use the financial assistance the agency provides for citizens in need.
