TAKEOFF,

Secret Service Fire on Man Targeting Trump,

Secret Service agents fired at a man who pointed a rifle at former President Donald Trump while he was golfing at his West Palm Beach club.

The suspect fled but was later apprehended on I-95 in a neighboring county. He was identified as Ryan Wesley Routh.

Trump was unharmed, and the FBI is investigating what it calls “an apparent attempted assassination.” Leaders from both parties condemned the use of violence in politics.

In an e-mail, Trump reassured followers he was safe. “Nothing will slow me down,” he wrote. “I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me.”

This incident follows an assassination attempt two months ago when Trump was shot and wounded at a Pennsylvania rally.

IRS Whistleblowers Sue Hunter Biden’s Attorney,

IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler have filed a $20 million defamation lawsuit against Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell.

They allege Lowell falsely accused them of criminal acts after they testified that the Department of Justice gave preferential treatment to President Biden’s son during an investigation into international business affairs.

Lowell responded by claiming Shapley and Ziegler violated grand jury secrecy rules and taxpayer protection laws—what the lawsuit names as an act of “clear malice” that has tarnished the plaintiffs’ reputations.

Polaris Dawn Returns to Earth,

Space X’s Polaris Dawn crew returned safely to Earth early Sunday morning, splashing down in Crew Dragon Resilience off the coast of Dry Tortugas, Florida.

The mission made history by performing the first commercial spacewalk and reaching the highest orbit since the Apollo 17 moon mission in 1972.

Crew member and violinist Sarah Gillis released a music video during the mission. Her space performance, sent to Earth via satellite, is accompanied by orchestras worldwide.

POLITICS,

Senate Democrats spoke out against President Biden releasing $320 million in military funds to Egypt, citing human rights concerns in Egypt.

New York City Hall’s chief counsel, Lisa Zornberg, announced her resignation Saturday after just over a year at the post.

Six high-ranking New York City education officials took their own kids and grandkids to Disney World on a trip meant for homeless students, according to an investigation.

After a word from one of our sponsors Jennifer will be Narrating the last half of the news.

And Now, A word From one of Our Sponsors,

Before we go let me tell you about one of the books found on my Bookstore,

Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Interactive Romans Road King James Version

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.

This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
