Saturday, November 23, 2024,

Good Morning! On this day in 1936, the first issue of the pictorial magazine Life was published, featuring a cover photo of the Fort Peck Dam’s spillway by Margaret Bourke-White.

In today’s edition, we have an item on Wayne, the 80-foot Sitka Spruce harvested from a remote Alaskan island and shipped nearly 5,000 miles by boat and truck to be the nation’s Christmas tree.

We hope you enjoyed reading today’s Flyover. Let us know how we’re doing by replying to Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com.

TAKEOFF,

NATO and Ukraine to Hold Emergency Talks,

NATO and Ukrainian officials will hold emergency talks Tuesday after Russia escalated hostilities with an alleged hypersonic missile strike on a military facility in Dnipro last Thursday.

Ukrainian officials stated the missile that struck Dnipro reached Mach 11 and carried six non-nuclear warheads, each releasing six submunitions on impact.

President Vladimir Putin confirmed Russia used its newly developed hypersonic “Oreshnik” ballistic missile in retaliation for Kyiv’s use of U.S. and British long-range missiles, claiming it is impossible to intercept.

U.S. officials say that the Russian missile did not reach NASA’s definition of hypersonic speed—Mach 5.

Poll: Majority of Country Approves of Trump,

A Pew Research Center survey released Friday revealed that more than half of the country approves of President-elect Trump’s plans and policies for his upcoming second administration.

Trump received positive feedback in several areas, including foreign policy, immigration, and the economy, where nearly 60% expressed confidence in his economic decision-making.

A majority of respondents now have a favorable opinion of Trump’s post-election conduct, increasing from 28% in 2020 to 53% today.

Overall, the percentage of Americans, post-election, satisfied with the country’s direction has increased since October, rising from 23% to 29%.

List: America’s 20 Deadliest Animals,

A list of the nation’s 20 most dangerous creatures has ranked deer as America’s deadliest animal, responsible for far more injuries and fatalities than any predator.

An analysis of official stats on animal interactions, attacks, and fatalities found deer cause 59,000 injuries and 440 deaths annually, with most fatalities from vehicle collisions, though rare direct attacks can occur during mating season.

Dogs, often called man’s best friend, ranked second on the list, causing over 4.5 million bites annually, with at least 100 proving fatal.

Rattlesnakes, livestock, and hornets round out the top five, with grizzly bears, alligators, and great white sharks ranking seventh, eighth, and sixteenth, respectively.

POLITICS,

A New York judge on Friday indefinitely postponed the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump in his criminal case, allowing his attorneys to file motions to dismiss the 34-count conviction.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz announced Friday that he will not rejoin Congress after withdrawing from attorney general consideration but plans to support the incoming Trump administration in another role.

The House passed H.R. 9495 on Thursday, authorizing the treasury secretary to revoke tax-exempt status for nonprofits supporting terrorism. The bill now heads to the Senate.

Mississippi’s public university governing board voted Thursday to remove the word “diversity” from several policies, including one requiring evaluations of university presidents on campus diversity outcomes.

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

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.
