TAKEOFF,

Troops Sent to Help Helene Recovery,

The federal government is deploying an additional 1,000 active-duty soldiers to join the 6,000 National Guard members and 4,800 federal aid workers already engaged in relief efforts to help people affected by Hurricane Helene.

The Category 4 storm caused catastrophic damage and flooding across six Southeastern states, killing over 180 people. Over 1 million homes are still without power.

President Biden surveyed storm damage in South Carolina on Wednesday, a week after the storm hit, meeting with officials and planning visits to other states affected by Hurricane Helene, aiming to counter criticism of the administration’s response.

Footage Shows Sheriff Shooting Judge,

Surveillance footage played at a preliminary hearing showed Kentucky Sheriff Mickey Stines repeatedly shooting District Judge Kevin Mullins in his chambers on Sept. 19, eliciting emotional reactions from the courtroom.

In court testimony Tuesday, it was revealed that Stines shot Mullins after seeing his teenage daughter’s number on the judge’s phone.

Stines allegedly told officers he acted due to a threat to his family, though investigators have not confirmed a motive.

The judge and the sheriff had been longtime friends and co-workers, but police did not clarify the significance of the daughter’s number. The case has shocked the residents of small-town Letcher County.

List: Forbes 400 Richest Americans,

The latest Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans list includes billionaires from nearly every state, with a combined record worth of $5.4 trillion.

That total is up nearly $1 trillion from last year. The minimum net worth needed to make the 2024 list is $3.3 billion, up $400 million from last year.

Tech giant Elon Musk topped the list for the third consecutive year with a net worth of $244 billion. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Warren Buffett rounded out the top five, representing Florida, California, and Nebraska.

Alabama, Alaska, Delaware, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia were the only states without a resident billionaire.

POLITICS,

A federal judge released Special Counsel Jack Smith’s revamped indictment against former President Trump Wednesday, alleging Trump’s actions were private and exempt from presidential immunity.

President Biden recognized Israel’s right to respond to Tuesday’s Iranian missile attack but opposed striking Iran’s nuclear sites, stating G7 allies agreed Israel should respond proportionally.

Former President Trump clarified Tuesday he would veto a federal abortion ban, supporting exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother while opposing Democrats’ late-term abortion stance.

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 Interactive Romans Road New 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.
