Investigation underway after Christian singer, 'American Idol' alum Mandisa found dead

tennessean.com/story/entertainment/music/2024/04/19/american-idol-alum-christian-singer-mandisa-has-died-in-nashville/73382383007/

Quick Glance: Mandisa, 'American Idol' Singer and Grammy Winner, Passes Away at 47

Grammy-winning singer Mandisa, who rose to fame on season five of 'American Idol,' has passed away, her representative confirmed on Friday.

Mandisa, whose full name is Mandisa Lynn Hundley, shot to stardom after placing ninth on 'American Idol.' She went on to win a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album in 2014 for her album 'Overcomer.'

In 2017, the singer told 'Good Morning America' that she fell into a deep depression in 2014 and almost took her own life following the death of her close friend, Lakisha Mitchell, who had breast cancer.

Tributes poured in following news of Mandisa’s passing, with colleagues like Robin Roberts and Matthew West expressing their sorrow and reminiscing about their time spent with the late singer.

Quick Glance: Texas and California Lead Wind and Solar Power Generation in 2023

States like Texas and Oklahoma, known for their oil production, dominated wind energy generation in the U.S. in 2023. Texas also stood out as a top state in solar energy generation, according to a report from Climate Central.

Solar power production in the U.S. reached nearly 240,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) last year, marking an eightfold increase from 2014. California led in solar generation with just under 69,000 GWh, followed by Texas with over 31,700 GWh.

The wind power sector saw an estimated 425,000 GWh in electricity production from wind energy. Texas led the way in wind power generation, followed by Iowa, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

Wind and solar together generated sufficient power last year to meet the energy needs of 61 million American households, as per the report. The Energy Department foresees solar and wind energy surpassing coal-fired electricity generation this year.

Oklahoma official with white nationalist ties is ousted in recall vote

nbcnews.app.link/Z7wRyWntuIb

Quick Glance: Enid, Oklahoma Residents Remove Council Member Associated with White Nationalism

In Enid, a city in northwest Oklahoma, residents ousted a city council member with ties to white nationalism, as indicated by unofficial results released on Tuesday on the Oklahoma Election Board website.

Following the reporting of results from all four precincts in Ward 1 in Enid, it was revealed that voters decided to remove 42-year-old Judd Blevins. Instead, Cheryl Patterson, a grandmother and longtime youth leader at a local church, was chosen to take his place.

Despite his connections to white nationalist groups, Blevins, an Iraq War veteran, was narrowly elected to the position last year.

The initiative for the recall in Oklahoma was instigated by two long-time Enid residents, close friends Connie Vickers and Nancy Presnall, both Democrats in a region where Republicans hold a voter registration advantage of nearly 4-to-1.
