THE FLYOVER,

Sunday, October 20, 2024,

Good Morning! On this day in 1803, the Senate ratified the Louisiana Purchase Treaty, doubling the size of the United States for $15 million, possibly the greatest real estate deal in history.

Floridians are recovering from two ghastly hurricanes, and there’s one brave soul who refused to leave his sailboat during either storm. Read more about Florida’s “Lieutenant Dan” in today’s Takeoff section.

TAKEOFF,

Israeli Leader Avoids Drone Strike,

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not harmed by a drone strike on his house on Saturday.

Netanyahu and his wife were not in their home in the coastal city of Caesarea during the early morning strike. The Israeli military said approximately 55 rockets were fired into Israel from Lebanon on Saturday as Israel continues to attack targets linked to the Iran-backed Hezbollah group.

It is not the first time recently that Netanyahu has come under fire: In September, Israel intercepted a ballistic missile that was headed to Ben Gurion Airport as Netanyahu’s plane was landing.

More Blackouts in Cuba,

As Cuba struggled to recover from an island-wide electrical blackout, the system suffered a second malfunction Saturday.

More than 10 million people were left without power after the first failure on Friday afternoon. Workers restored some power by Saturday, but the malfunction slowed their progress and the nation experienced a second total blackout. Water supply was also interrupted, as there was no electricity to power the pumps.

Cuba’s government has blamed unreliable service on aging infrastructure, rising demand and fuel shortages, which were made worse when Hurricane Milton interrupted deliveries.

“Lieutenant Dan” Lands in Jail,

Two hurricanes couldn’t drive the Florida man known as “Lieutenant Dan,” from his makeshift dockside home in Tampa.

But police caught up to Joseph Malinowski on Friday.

Malinowski, a 54-year-old amputee, became a TikTok celebrity when he rode out Hurricanes Helene and Milton on his 20-foot sailboat. He refused to leave, even after high winds caused his boat to crash into a wall.

Officers warned Malinowski Thursday that he was creating a health hazard because he did not have a proper sanitation system on his unregistered vessel, police said.

He was charged on Friday with trespassing and failure to appear in court on previous charges of operating an unregistered vehicle and having no valid driver’s license. On Saturday, he remained in jail.

After a word from one of our sponsors Jenny 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 Treasury of David.

This work was first published in weekly installments over a twenty-year span in the London Metropolitan Tabernacle’s periodical, The Sword and the Trowel.

Completed sections were released volume by volume, until the seventh and final volume was released in 1885. Within a decade more than 120,000 sets had been sold. The Treasury of David is a superb literary achievement. Eric Hayden, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle a century after Spurgeon’s ministry began there, calls this work “Spurgeon’s magnum opus.” Spurgeon’s wife said that if Spurgeon had never written any other work, this would have been a permanent literary memorial.
