CARLSBAD, CALIF - A recent order by the city manager forbids fire and police chaplains to pray using the words 'in Jesus name.'
Pastor J.C. Cooper has been volunteering as the police chaplain in Carlsbad, CA, for the past six years. His father, Denny Cooper has volunteered and served as chaplain for the fire department for 18 years.
At the beginning of March, the police asked J.C. to deliver an invocation at the Carlsbad Police Department Awards Ceremony. Happy to do so, without thinking J.C. ended his prayer with "in Jesus' name, Amen."
Within a month, the Police Chief, Christie Calderwood, told J.C. that the city council made a decision when it comes to public prayers. The council said that unless the chaplain removed the words 'in Jesus' name' from any future prayers, there would be disciplinary actions taken.
Fire Chief Mike Calderwood told J.C.'s father, Denny, the same thing around that time as well. Click here to read more.
DENVER, COL - he Horse Heaven Clean Energy Center generating wind and solar energy south of the Tri-Cities in southeastern Washington was expected to begin construction in 2021. Three years later, the project is still in the planning phase, with Gov. Jay Inslee most recently sending the proposed site certification agreement back to the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council for reconsideration.
Meanwhile, the process has drawn concern from local officials for its potential impact to natural resources in addition to what some perceive as skirting state environmental regulations. In 2021, Boulder, Colorado-based Scout Clean Energy filed an application for the project, which, if completed, would generate 1,150 megawatts of energy and have up to 231 wind turbines. It would also include solar arrays that generate no more than 800 MW of energy. The project would encompass approximately 72,428 acres of privately owned land that is otherwise used for dryland wheat farming.
EFSEC eventually reduced the project's scope from its original design out of environmental concerns, such as protecting historic hawk nest sites by creating a buffer zone between them and wind turbines. Click here to read more.

WASHINGTON D.C. - The Biden Administration, concerned about the impact of a bird flu virus (H5N1) that started in late 2020 but infected a Texas dairy worker in April and a Michigan dairy worker in May, is reportedly “looking closely” at vaccinating farm workers and others.
On May 10, the Food and Drug Administration reported, “Last week we announced preliminary results of a study of 297 retail dairy samples, which were all found to be negative for viable virus. The FDA is today announcing that all final egg inoculation tests associated with this retail sampling study have been completed and were also found to be negative for viable HPAI H5N1 virus.”
Yet Reuters reported that U.S. officials acknowledged they were transporting bulk vaccine from CSL Seqirus matching H5N1 that could create 4.8 million doses of vaccine. European health officials also said they were discussing acquiring CSL’s prepandemic vaccine. Click here to read more.
WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — Congress is scrambling to address foreign threats on American agriculture after a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report revealed that Chinese investors own a fraction of all foreign-owned agricultural land in the nation.
China owns nearly 350,000 acres of farmland across 27 states, according to the latest data from the USDA. As of 2022, foreign entities and individuals held 43.4 million acres of U.S. agricultural land, which is 3.4% of all privately held agricultural land and nearly 2% of all land in the U.S., per the USDA.
Some lawmakers argue this is a security risk because the land purchases are near U.S. military installations. Now, lawmakers are moving to crack down on such instances using the farm bill. Click here to read more.
NASHVILLE, TN - A class of high schoolers managed to solve the 35-year-old cold case of the Redhead Murders in Tennessee and surrounding states.
It started at Elizabethton High School in Tennessee, where teacher Alex Campbell was looking to engage and inspire the students through an unorthodox sociology assignment.
What started as an experiment on profiling—how can you build a picture about someone based only on known actions taken by them but with no other details—quickly turned into a true crime investigation, based partly on Campbell’s wife’s fascination with the subject which had rubbed off on the teacher.
Pulling out the old case files and looking at 6 of the 11 victims murdered between 1983 and 1985, the students started to use details of the case like the character of the victims, the places they were found, their age, and occupations to try and work out what would the murderer’s demographic details be like.
They determined he was likely a white, male, heterosexual with long hair on the wrong side of 30 or even in his 40s, and perhaps a truck driver. Click here to read more.
