Georgia’s best waterfalls explored | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, and Georgia offers great outdoor activities, including hikes to stunning waterfalls. FOX 5’s Lauren Robinson explores Amicalola Falls State Park in Dawson County, home to the 729-foot cascading Amicalola Falls, taller than Niagara Falls. The waterfall’s name means “tumbling waters” in Cherokee. Visitors can hike up a paved path with 604 stairs or take an ADA-accessible trail. The mountain water stays cold year-round, popular for summer polar plunges. Besides hiking, the park offers fishing, archery, and hatchet throwing. On clear days, panoramic views include the Atlanta skyline.

This summer, we’re taking you all across Georgia and showing you some great hikes along with way.

Popular yogurt recalled; could contain sharp plastic pieces
SUMMARY: Danone U.S. is voluntarily recalling over a dozen varieties of YoCrunch yogurt due to the potential presence of sharp, transparent plastic pieces in the dome toppers containing toppings, posing choking hazards. The recall, announced by the FDA, affects all flavors and sizes sold nationwide, but only the separate topping compartments are impacted—not the yogurt itself. Plastic fragments range from 7 to 25 mm. Retailers are removing affected products, which cover various flavors and expiration dates through September 2025. Consumers are advised not to consume these products and can contact YoCrunch Consumer Care at 1-877-344-4886 for refunds.

Did Biden use autopen on pardons? | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Republicans are investigating former President Biden’s use of an autopen to sign pardons at the end of his term, questioning his cognitive abilities and decision-making. Biden defended his use of the device in a New York Times interview, explaining it was due to the large volume of pardons and asserting he personally made all decisions. He called Republican claims about his mental sharpness lies and said pardons were meant to protect staff and family from politically motivated prosecutions. Biden’s doctor invoked the Fifth Amendment during congressional testimony, fueling speculation of a coverup. The House Oversight Committee continues probing, with more witnesses expected.
Former President Biden is calling Republicans liars for claiming someone else was actually calling the shots on the pardons granted that were signed in his name by autopen. In a new interview Biden says he made every decision, but Republicans are demanding answers under oath from his aides.
