CNN confirmed Thursday that its presidential debate next week will go forward with just Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.

Former President Donald Trump will be nominated as the Republican nominee for the presidency, even if he's sentenced to jail when the party's convention is held in Milwaukee, according to his daughter-in-law, Republican National Committee co-chairwoman Lara Trump.

President Joe Biden appears to be losing ground among voters who say they will "definitely vote" in the 2024 election, according to an NPR/PBS News/ Marist poll released this week.

Migrants from Tajikistan, a country known for being an ISIS breeding ground, have increased greatly in number crossing the southern border under President Joe Biden, the New York Post reported Thursday.

With crispy and slightly tart fried green tomatoes, a mound of gooey cheese, and several slices of bacon, this Fried Green Tomato and Bacon Grilled Cheese is the ultimate southern grilled cheese sandwich. Ok,ok, maybe not quite the ultimate. That would include pimento cheese. But this is pretty close. Fried Green Tomatoes The real star of this sandwich is the fried green tomatoes. They are one of my absolute favorite foods. I love them served as an appetizer, Fried Green Tomatoes with Peach Pepper Jelly Sauce , on a burger, or in a grilled cheese sandwich. I love the crispy coating and the tart flavor of a fried green tomato and could eat them all summer long. They only improve when paired with bacon and covered in gooey cheese. How To Choose Green Tomatoes Green tomatoes are unripe tomatoes and they should be very firm and completely green in color. Once you bring them home, they tend to ripen fairly quickly so plan to use them within a day or two. Stor them in a cool, dry place and don’t let them touch each other. They ripen faster if they are close together. Choose A Sturdy Bread I wanted to use Texas Toast for this sandwich, but I went to 2 stores and couldn’t find any. How can that be? It’s a shame too because 2 flimsy pieces of white bread can hardly contain all the yumminess in this sandwich. Fried Green Tomato and Bacon Grilled Cheese Recipe Tips Fried green tomatoes are best cooked in bacon grease in a heavy cast iron skillet. But you can also use vegetable oil and a regular skillet. They will be delicious either way. If you want to add some spice, add half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.

The time of the annual summer solstice will be the earliest it's been for centuries and will continue to creep forward every leap year until 2100. But why?

In the entertainment world, some last names pop up multiple times as one generation follows in the footsteps of their forebears. Kevin Costner has recently come under fire for recruiting his son, Hayes, in his new movie, Horizon: An American Saga, as opposed to industry veterans. Costner is the father of six children across different relationships. Costner and his wife, Christine Baumgartner, share 13-year-old Hayes, as well as Cayden, 15, and daughter Grace, 12. He is also the father of sons Joe and Liam and daughters Annie and Lily from past relationships. Here is how Hayes fits into Costner’s upcoming four-part Western epic and his response to the strong criticism he’s received for bringing Hayes on board. Kevin Costner discusses his son Hayes being involved in ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ Kevin Costner cast his teenage son, Hayes, in his new Western epic, Horizon / © Warner Bros. /Courtesy Everett Collection Horizon is a four-part film series starring Costner in a script he wrote with Jon Baird, inspired by an original story authorized by Costner, Baird, and Mark Kasdan. Hayes will be playing a particularly meaningful role in the epic too. RELATED: Kevin Costner’s Youngest Daughter Is A Huge Daddy’s Girl—Meet Grace “He’s very good,” gushed Costner, “Hayes plays the namesake character that I actually play in the movie. He’s 13 years old and the screenplay’s been around longer than that.” Recruiting Hayes, Costner admitted, had the special bonus of enabling more father-son bonding time. “I kind of did it on purpose, so he could be hanging out with me,” Costner confessed. “And the same thing for Cayden, same thing for Grace. I’m like any other parent, I’m trying to figure out, like, ‘This is really neat. You should come be with me.’” The actor and father addressed nepotism concerns He and his wife Christine Baumgartner share three children together / ImageCollect Hayes does not have previous acting experience coming into this series, a fact that is often coupled with his direct relation to Costner, which has received ire from critics. “He’s a beautiful boy, and he’s quiet,” said Costner, adding, “And I have not shoved my children into the business.” Costner did go onto acknowledge, “I realize there are so many young actors out there that would just kill to be in this movie,” before assuring, “And I don’t want to take those parts away from them just cause I can place my own children in.” Hayes required half a month to film his part. Hayes makes his acting debut in Horizon: An American Saga / Warner Bros. / YouTube via Yahoo! News “But, in a sense, it was a smaller part,” Costner went on to confirm. “I selfishly wanted him with me for the week, two weeks, he was with me. And we would drive to the set every day and he would whisper.” As for how Hayes did acting in front of the camera, Costner likes what he’s seen. “It’s a really complicated scene,” he shared. “In the end, there’s a nobility, there’s an absolute fatalness about it. It’s what you want in a son. It’s what you don’t want a son to do, and at the end of the day, you’re proud that he would make that choice.” Should Hayes have been cast in Horizon: An American Saga starring his dad, Kevin Costner?   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Quién (@quiencom) RELATED: Kevin Costner Questions Estranged Wife’s Claim That She ‘Felt Pressured’ to Sign Prenup Click for next Article The post Kevin Costner Defends Against Backlash After Casting His Son In ‘Horizon’ appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
