That was when Airbus, as part of European consortium EADS, worked with Northrup Grumman to get in on the new, next-generation Air Force tanker deal, promised to build the bulk of the airframes in the United States, and won the initial contract for the project. Long story short, screaming and kicking by Boeing, years of skullduggery and John McCain machinations went on, and by 2011, EADS and Airbus had lost the...

    In 2020, California imported about 25% of its demand for electricity from Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona due to the capacity limitations of the three utilities that serve the State (Pacific Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison, and San Diego Gas and Electric). These capacity limitations resulted from the closure of fossil fuel plants and environmental restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities in California to meet climate change standards. New England, New Jersey, and New York combined imported about 30% of their demand from either neighboring states or Canada. Many utilities in PJM and MISO import electricity from TVA and the...

    ESPN host and analyst Paul Finebaum might run for office because of Charlie Kirk despite never being involved in politics. The SEC Network personality and host of "The Paul Finebaum Show" said in a recent interview that he is "considering" leaving the Disney-owned network to run for the United States Senate. Perhaps surprisingly, Finebaum said that he would run on the Republican ticket in Alabama, finding inspiration after Kirk was assassinated on Sept. 10. "I spent four hours numb, talking about things that didn't matter to me. And it kept building throughout that weekend," Finebaum said. "I felt very empty...

    ESPN SEC Network host and analyst Paul Finebaum said he is “considering” leaving the Worldwide Leader to run for the US Senate on the republican ticket following the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. In a recent interview with OutKick’s Clay Travis, the 70-year-old Finebaum explained that “one or two people in Washington had reached out” to gauge his interest in politics — and that Kirk’s murder fueled a desire for him to be involved. “It’s hard to describe, not being involved in politics, how that affected me and affected tens of millions of people all over this country....

    GORDO, Ala. — A photo in a Facebook post deemed racially insensitive that sparked an outrage in the community and resulted in the cancelation of the 101st edition of one of Alabama high school football's greatest rivalries originated not from a Gordo High School dress-up day, as the principal indicated in a statement, but rather came from the website of a faith-based camp more than 1,000 miles away, The Tuscaloosa News has learned. Gordo was scheduled to host Pickens County, its rival located 8 miles down the same country highway in rural West Alabama, on Friday, Sept. 26. The game...

    The department chair of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Alabama in Huntsville expressed strong resentment in recent social media posts for fallen Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, attempting to belittle Kirk's well-established Christian faith. Leslie Maxwell Kaiura is a self-proclaimed "progressive Christian feminist and LGBTQ ally." "It is spiritually exhausting and demoralizing to see Christians praising a man who used racist, sexist, homo/transphobic language and minimized the problem of gun violence," she wrote. "Jesus never treated the marginalized people or the 'sinners' of his day with mockery or rejection." Kaiura shared a post, again attacking Kirk's...

    Larisa Thomason has been listening to Huntsville public radio station WLRH for almost 50 years. Now, she’s threatening to change the dial. “My daughter calls WLRH the soundtrack for her childhood,” Thomason said. “It was always on.” Thomason started listening to WLRH in the 1970s to learn more about politics and she became a dues-paying member in the 1980s. She said she may start supporting a different public radio station after she heard that WLRH is dropping its National Public Radio (NPR) programming due to federal funding cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. WLRH is a branch of Alabama...

    A beloved ex-veterinary professor was hacked to death while walking her dog in an Alabama park — where she took her pet to exercise almost every day.

The body of Dr. Julie Gard Schnuelle, 59, a former professor of Large Animal Medicine at Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, was discovered in a wooded area of Kiesel Park in Auburn on Saturday afternoon. She had driven to the park with her dog in her red Ford F-150 pickup truck. The...
