THE FLYOVER REPLAY,
Wednesday, January 22, 2025,
Good Morning! On this day in 1984, Apple’s iconic 1984 commercial aired during the Super Bowl. Directed by Ridley Scott, the ad is considered one of the most effective commercials of all time.
Our readers helped write today’s edition by sending us their favorite life advice in response to our request last week. Instead of our usual Wednesday Wisdom section, today we offer wisdom from our readers. We’ve selected four to share, but rest assured—we’ve read and appreciated every single one. Please let us know how you liked it.
We hope you enjoyed reading today’s Flyover. Let us know how we’re doing by replying to Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com.
The sponsors keep the tanks full around here. Be sure to check out today’s sponsors.
TAKEOFF,
Trump Declares Energy Emergency,
President Donald Trump declared a national energy emergency on Monday, signing an executive order pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement and erasing several Biden-era fossil fuel restrictions
Trump revoked Biden’s order setting targets for electric vehicle sales and froze money earmarked for EV charging stations.
The action also directed federal agency heads to identify emergency authorities to expedite energy production and processing. According to Trump, the goal is to make the U.S. a “manufacturing nation once again.”
In addition, Trump signed orders reversing bans on coast water drilling and electric vehicle adoption and lifting the freeze on LNG export permits.
Laken Riley Act Passes Senate,
The Senate voted 64-35 on Monday to approve an amended Laken Riley Act, sending the legislation back to the House for final consideration and expected passage.
Named after a 22-year-old nursing student who was murdered by an illegal Venezuelan immigrant last year, the act would allow for the mandatory detention of non-citizens convicted of, or charged with, burglary, larceny, theft, or shoplifting.
Some Senate Democrats, despite the bill’s bipartisan support, were frustrated by their inability to amend the legislation as it surpassed the 60-vote filibuster threshold.
The bill will mark the first policy legislation of the new Congress. President Donald Trump said he would sign it “within a week or so.”

POLITICS,

Judge Aileen Cannon blocked special counsel Jack Smith from releasing his report on President Trump’s classified documents case to Congress, arguing that it could deny two former co-defendants a fair trial.

And Now, A word From one of Our Sponsors,
Promote your book/ebook on twitter and anything digital. For example, Christian Apps. I can hear all the naysayers say that twitter is a cesspool and you can’t sell anything on twitter. I have been on twitter since August 2012. I am an author and I can tell you this is false. I have sold many, many books that I can track back to twitter. I have 14 thousand 190+ followers on twitter and it all depends on who you follow. My followers are about half political and half writers, authors and readers. Now there are some writers, and especially christian writers say that they don’t feel right selling their books. You mean to tell me that God led you to write the book and all that goes into it and not mean for you to not tell people about it? I just don’t buy it.
I will send your messages either manually or scheduled. Will gain followers daily which could turn into customers. I will boost your traffic and business. I will do my research in order to understand your niche and I will make sure I can help you boost your business.
For more information or to schedule one of these plans send email to Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com

And Now a Word from Our Sponsor, Interactive Romans Road – King James Version
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.
