ST. LOUIS - Striking Boeing union members have approved a new union proposal offer on Friday morning, Sept. 19, 2025, via a vote that could potentially end their walkout. The offer, approved by 90% of union voters, now heads to Boeing’s company leadership for review. Some of the 3,200 members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM District 837) have been on strike since August 4, 2025. Following the union-proposed offer ratified by union members, Boeing shared this statement: “It’s unfortunate that union leadership led its members to vote on something that isn’t real. Our previous offer is real and would make our team among the highest-paid manufacturing employees in the St. Louis area. Most people would not consider a 45% average wage increase, free primary care, and more vacation time unfair or disrespectful. We want all 3,200 of our teammates back at work, but that has to happen with a contract that makes sense in the Midwest

ALTON — A rally in memory of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk is scheduled from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Alton Visitor’s Center, organizers said. Kirk, an American conservative political activist, was fatally shot while addressing an audience on the campus of Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, 2025. Michelle Nitzsche, who helped organize the event alongside Matthew Morales, said the rally is not political. “We went back and forth and started putting it together, and it just took off,” Nitzsche said. "Attendance estimates range from about 300 to 400 people." The event is intended as a call for peace and a celebration of Kirk’s life. “The rally is all about freedom of speech and being able to come together for a gathering and celebrate his life and mourn his death and keep his voice alive,” she said. Nitzsche hopes attendees will be motivated to continue speaking out and to overcome mourning. “I hope people take away

Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison is accusing the federal government of blocking information about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).
UAP is a term used to describe unknown objects in the air, sea, or space that we cannot easily explain. It is what used to call “UFO” or Unidentified Flying Object, but was updated by the Pentagon in 2022. This was done to make it broader, to help cover things beyond just flying objects, such as those found in the sea or in outer space.
