Alabama Announce Two Shows In Nashville With Martina McBride In 2021

Alabama has announced two new stops in Nashville in 2021 as part of their delayed 50th Anniversary Tour. The trio is set to perform at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on July 2 and July 3 with special guest Martina McBride.

Alabama had to postpone more than 25 shows on their 50th Anniversary Tour in 2019 as frontman Randy Owen dealt with vertigo and migraines.  The band planned to resume their tour in 2020, however, the COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to all touring and live shows.  Alabama’s show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena was originally scheduled for Nov. 20, 2019, then rescheduled for July 17, 2020, with an additional date set for July 18, 2020. The late Charlie Daniels, who died on July 6, had been slated to join Alabama at both Nashville shows.

Additional tour dates for Alabama’s 50th Anniversary Tour will be announced in the coming months. Tickets are on sale now.

Sara Haines To Return To “The View” As Co-Host

Sara Haines is officially returning to her role as a co-host on The View. The former co-host will be returning to the program for season 24, which is set to premiere after Labor Day on Tuesday, Sept. 8. Haines will be taking over the spot vacated by Abby Huntsman, who announced her exit after two seasons in January. The show is moderated by Whoopi Goldberg, with Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Meghan McCain also serving as co-hosts.

Haines said in a statement: “I grew up watching The View, and what this show stands for — different women, different backgrounds and different points of view — just speaks to my soul. I feel like I caught a shooting star twice. To once again be a part of the dialogue where I can share, discuss and disagree alongside these powerful and strong women is a tremendous honor. I feel very lucky.”

Haines previously served as a co-host for two seasons from 2016 to 2018. She left The View to helm GMA Day, the third-hour block of Good Morning America with Michael Strahan. It was rebranded as Strahan, Sara and Keke with the full-time addition of Keke Palmer in August 2019. However, the show was recently canceled after being sidelined in March for coronavirus coverage.

Seven Police Officers In Rochester, NY Suspended Over Death of Black Man Killed In Custody

Seven Police Officers in Rochester, New York were suspended on Thursday over the asphyxiation death of a black man who they arrested in March. The brutal incident was revealed in videotape footage made public this week, which was recorded by an officer’s body camera. The video captures a group of officers putting a mesh hood over Daniel Prude’s head as he kneels naked and restrained on a Rochester street and snow falls around him.

The recording was released on Wednesday by members of Prude’s family, who called for the arrest of the officers. Prude, 41, died seven days after the March 23 arrest in Rochester, NY. Protests broke out on Wednesday in downtown Rochester and on Thursday, some 300 miles to the south, several dozen people demonstrated in Times Square in New York City, demanding justice for Prude and police reform.

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, who is black, told reporters on Thursday, “Mr. Daniel Prude was failed by our police department, our mental health care system, our society, and he was failed by me. I’m filled with grief, and anger at myself for all the failures that lead to his death.” Rochester police chief La’Ron Singletary, who is also black, has said that internal and criminal investigations were underway.

House Speaker Pelosi, Treasury Secretary Mnuchin Reach Informal Deal To Avoid Government Shutdown

On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reached an informal agreement to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month. Both parties committed to a continuing resolution that would work to avoid a shutdown and be free of certain policy riders that have halted progress on other bills while the two sides also negotiate another round of stimulus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A timeframe for the continuing resolution has not been agreed upon, but a plan to fund the government at current levels could avoid a shutdown leading into November’s election and possibly through the end of the year. The informal deal comes as Pelosi and Democrats remain in a deadlock with Mnuchin and Republicans over a package to provide economic stimulus in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
