close Video Wounded veterans climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness for veterans’ charities Wounded military veterans Cameron West, Adam Kisielewski and Steven Curry trekked Africa's tallest peak for charities that supported them in their recoveries. An Arizona community is rallying around a 91-year-old Army veteran by raising more than $10,000 after he was robbed of a large sum of cash. Floyd Barber, who served in the Korean War, first on the front lines and then as a welder and mechanic, said he had saved up $7,000 — just enough money to "get his teeth fixed" — and was driving to make a bank deposit on Wednesday, March 8. "I was on my way to Chase Bank," the lifelong Tucson resident told Fox News Digital. "I stopped at Fry’s service station to get some gas and my money was in an envelope in my pocket."

HELENA, Mont. — Work crews burrowed through thick ice and set up containment booms Tuesday in a struggle to vacuum up 50,000 gallons of oil that spilled into the Yellowstone River from a ruptured pipeline, contaminating drinking water. The 12-inch steel pipeline, which burst Saturday morning near Glendive, Mont., about 400 miles east of here, sent light crude oil flowing downstream as far as the confluence with the Missouri River, 60 miles away in North Dakota. Health officials warned people not to use tap water in Glendive and surrounding towns after traces of benzene from the leak were found in a water treatment plant. Gov. Steve Bullock visited the area on Monday and declared a state of emergency for Dawson and Richland Counties. The Bridger Pipeline Company, which operates the line, has shut it down, company officials said. The line is part of a system that passes across eastern Montana from the Canadian border. Federal officials have said short-term exposure to the … [Read more...] about Traces of Montana Oil Spill Are Found in Drinking Water

T he last stranger Adriene Mishler hugged before the pandemic was a woman who may or may not have sideswiped her car. It was Friday, the 13th of March, and Mishler, a YouTube yoga celebrity with more than eight million subscribers, was driving back to her house in Austin, Texas. It was exactly a week after the city canceled the annual South by Southwest festival. A female driver in a tan or gold sedan scraped the side of Mishler’s vehicle and, instead of pulling over like a decent person, raced off. The yoga guru gave chase. “I was not going to chew them out,” Mishler said a few weeks later, reflecting on the incident. “I didn’t give a [expletive] about exchanging insurance or anything — well, obviously I did.” But that wasn’t the point of catching the driver. The point was to have a conversation with that person about the importance of goodness and accountability … [Read more...] about The Reigning Queen of Pandemic Yoga

“Make one solid case, one solid point for why this should go through.” — Jeanne Crumly PAGE, Neb. — The fight seemed over. Plans to bury an oil pipeline in the Nebraska dirt, through hilly grazing land near the Elkhorn River and flat expanses of corn farther south, had been halted. Farmers and ranchers who spent years opposing the project moved on with their lives. But suddenly the pipeline from Canada to Nebraska, known as Keystone XL , is back on the table. As President Trump promised on the campaign trail, he has cleared the way for the project, which his predecessor had blocked . Republican politicians, many union members and some landowners are cheering the pipeline as a way to create jobs and bring more North American oil to market. But in spots along the proposed route through Nebraska , including here on the sandy soil of the Crumly family farm, the president’s decision is being met with frustration and resolve to resume the fight.
