Thursday, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) told FNC’s “Fox & Friends” he had not gotten a satisfactory answer from FBI Director Christopher Wray about the perceived double standard within the Department of Justice. Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, referred expressly to how the DOJ handled Hillary Clinton’s email server versus the raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, FL. Partial transcript as follows: BRIAN KILMEADE, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: Meanwhile, let’s go out to — let’s go out to Iowa, where Senator Chuck Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee is joining us now.

Those clips - her fairy-tale courtship with Prince Charles, their "wedding of the century," the ensuing troubled marriage and breakup, her transformation from fey English rose to paparazzi catnip and, finally, her martyrdom at the hands of the media she both hid from and … [Read more...] about New movies to stream this week: ‘The Princess,’ ‘Day Shift’ and more

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 NEW YORK (AP) — Having used songwriting to navigate her own trauma, Mary Gauthier is putting those skills to work helping others do the same. The Nashville-based musician has collaborated with war veterans to write about what they've been through, even producing a disc of the music, and more recently sat with health care workers who were on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gauthier still writes for herself, and her most recent album “Dark Enough to See the Stars” reflects the love found with partner and fellow musician Jaimee Harris, and the sadness of losing friends like John Prine and Nanci Griffith. Yet through her workshops and the book she wrote, “Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting,” Gauthier has become increasingly interested in how music can mean more than something to listen to. “I couldn't make sense of a lot of things in my life, and I use … [Read more...] about Mary Gauthier uses songwriting to help people through trauma
