Tuesday, August 27, 2024,

Good Morning! On this day in 1776, the Maryland 400, members of the 1st Maryland Regiment, charged a larger British force during the Battle of Long Island. They suffered heavy casualties while allowing General Washington to evacuate most of his troops to Manhattan.

NASA will spend $14.6 million on studying the challenges faced by astronauts during lengthy space missions. It might be cheaper to consult stranded astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams while they wait for a ride back to Earth.

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,

Trump, Harris Battle Over Debate,

Former President Trump suggested on Sunday that he may pull out of the scheduled September 10 debate on ABC with Vice President Kamala Harris after both campaigns disagreed about the format.

The Trump campaign had accepted the ABC debate under the same terms as the CNN debate when President Biden was the presumed Democratic nominee.

The Harris campaign has since proposed altering the rules, including requiring both candidates’ microphones to be live throughout the debate.

The Trump campaign pushed back and demanded a debate on the agreed-upon rules.

Authorities suspended the search overnight due to dangerous conditions before resuming Monday morning.

This is a One Year Bible of the King James Version.
