Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:47 GMT

MOBERLY, Mo. - The Missouri Public Service Commission approved plans for the state's involvement in a four-state, wind-powered transmission line project known as the Grain Belt Express. Plans call for the transmission to run through many communities north of Interstate 70, including around Moberly and St. Joseph. The Grain Belt Express would carry wind energy from Kansas across Missouri and Illinois before hooking into a power grid in Indiana that serves other states. It would stretch roughly 800 miles.MAP OF PLANSInvenergy Transmission, the Chicago-based company attempting to build the Grain Belt Express, last year proposed expanding the high-voltage power line's capacity after years of setbacks. Grain Belt Express spokespeople say the project should pave the way for lower bills and more reliable energy sources. “We thank the state leaders in Kansas, Missouri and Illinois who have thoughtfully considered the tremendous benefits of Grain Belt Express," said Shashank Sane, executive ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - It's an unimaginable grief. A Kansas City-area family is planning funeral services for a 26-year-old and her 2-year-old daughter. Prosecutors are accusing the toddler's father, 25-year-old Derrius L. Tolson, of driving 94 mph before crashing, leaving his girlfriend and child dead. “There are no words to explain what this is. No parent should ever have to bury their kids, much less their grandkids all in one swoop," Virginia Perkins, who lost her daughter and granddaughter, told FOX4. Tolson, who was driving his Jeep Grand Cherokee when it crashed, now faces two counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter. Jackson County issues counteroffer in Royals stadium negotiations Virginia Perkins said the hardest thing to do is explain to her 5-year-old granddaughter, who just started kindergarten, that she will never see her mom Deja Perkins or her little sister Amora again.Now, not only is this family grieving, they're also trying to make sense of a sudden...

Broncos coach Sean Payton says run game must be part of offense’s DNA. So what’s happened so far this season?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:47 GMT

Sean Payton felt frustrated with himself as soon as the Broncos’ loss to the Jets in Week 5 finished.One driving reason? Early success running the ball and a halftime lead couldn’t convince the Broncos coach — in his first year here but with decades of NFL experience — to stick with pounding the ball against a defense that hadn’t shown it could stop it.“I know better,” he said then. “I have to be more patient relative to how we run the ball, and it was that type of game.”Early on Thursday night against Kansas City, Payton and the Broncos showed signs of that patience as they ran it on 12 of their first 18 snaps.They picked up all four of their first-quarter first downs on the ground and had the ball for 9 minutes, 18 seconds.They used three running backs on the opening drive alone. Rookie Jaleel McLaughlin first, then Samaje Perine, then Javonte Williams. Fullback Mike Burton picked up a first down on a dive play.Once again, though, the plan went awry. This time it wasn’t all on Pay...

Destruction at Gaza hospital increases stakes for Biden’s trip to Israel and Jordan

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:47 GMT

By COLLEEN LONG, AAMER MADHANI and CHRIS MEGERIAN (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s efforts to tamp down tensions in the escalating war between Israel and Hamas faced a bloody setback Tuesday when, shortly before his expected departure for the Middle East, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas withdrew from scheduled meetings to protest an explosion at a Gaza hospital that killed hundreds.The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza blamed the blast on an Israeli airstrike but the Israeli military said it had no involvement and pinned the blame on a misfired Palestinian rocket.Abbas’ cancellation, disclosed by a senior Palestinian official, reflects an increasingly volatile situation that will test the limits of American influence in the region as Biden visits Israel and Jordan on Wednesday. Biden’s decision to put himself in a conflict zone — the same year he made a surprise visit to Ukraine — demonstrates his willingness to take...

Trump is appealing a narrow gag order imposed on him in his 2020 election interference case

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:47 GMT

By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER (Associated Press)Former President Donald Trump is appealing a narrow gag order that bars him from making statements attacking prosecutors, potential witnesses and court staff in his election interference case in Washington, according to court documents filed Tuesday. Trump’s lawyers said in court papers that they will challenge an order from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan that restricts Trump’s public statements about the case accusing him of scheming to subvert the results of the 2020 election. Special counsel Jack Smith’s team sought the order against the Republican 2024 presidential front-runner over a litany of verbal attacks from him on likely witnesses and others. Prosecutors say Trump’s incendiary rhetoric is designed to undermine the public’s confidence in the judicial process and taint the jury pool. During a court hearing on Monday, Chutkan said Trump can criticize the Justice Department generally and assert his bel...
