TAKEOFF,

Massive Flooding Kills 158 in Spain,

Historic flash flooding in Spain devastated coastal cities this week, killing at least 158 people in one of the country’s deadliest natural disasters.

The Valencia area was the hardest hit as heavy rains on Tuesday night caused a river to overflow, sweeping away debris and cars, and leaving residents trapped by the surging tides.

Buildings, bridges, and businesses have been destroyed, suspending rail services and forcing people to leave their homes for the safety of friends, family, or emergency shelters.

As of Thursday, crews continued to search for people in stranded cars and waterlogged buildings as an unknown number of people remain missing.

Dodgers Celebration Turns Violent,

Authorities made several arrests in Los Angeles on Wednesday night after violence and looting erupted as residents celebrated the Dodgers’ eighth World Series title in franchise history.

The Los Angeles Police Department also issued a warning about a hostile crowd that allegedly surrounded a city bus and set it on fire.

Other images showed revelers throwing objects at police and running from a boarded-up Nike store with armfuls of merchandise.

At a news conference Thursday, Mayor Karen Bass said the majority of celebrations were peaceful and discussed today’s planned victory parade.

List: Most Haunted States in the U.S.,

New Mexico was named the most haunted state in the U.S. according to a new ranking of states by how scary, spooky and creepy they are.

MoveBuddha, an online relocation site, ranked all 50 states using a formula to calculate the number of haunted locations, cemeteries, unsolved murders, and ghost towns, among other factors.

But while New Mexico was listed as the most haunted state because of its ancient Indian burial grounds, New York was recognized as the state most likely to give you the creeps.

Rather not get spooked? Head for Nevada, Hawaii, or Minnesota, the three least haunted states of all.

POLITICS,

The lawsuit against Elon Musk’s $1 million voter giveaway was halted by a Pennsylvania judge Thursday, pausing the case while a federal court considers it.

Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance appeared on the popular “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast Thursday, discussing the election and the first assassination attempt on former President Trump.

A Russian court has hit Google with a symbolic fine of $20 decillion—which is 20 followed by 33 zeros—for blocking content from 17 Russian television channels and other outlets on YouTube. That’s far more than the world’s entire GDP.

Creativity on Demand 11/1/2024

Send to Kindle

by Staci Stallings,

Narrated by Artificial Intelligence, Jenny,

Click Above to Read/Listen to the Devotional,

Creativity is an odd animal.

It has to be constantly fed, but there is no routine to its needed diet.

You cannot coddle it nor coax it.  It will come out and play when it’s ready and not a second before that.

Forcing it to do anything will result in it immediately shutting down completely.

That’s why being creative on demand just doesn’t work.

It’s like this post.  I want it to be creative and mesmerizing.

I want you to love it so much you will remember it forever.

Yet…. Sometimes, creativity seems to remain one half-inch out of my grasp.

That’s how it is right now with writing, and it’s one of the most frustrating seasons of writing there is.

People have asked me, “What’s the most difficult part of writing and publishing?” To which I answer, “Whatever part you happen to be doing at the moment.”

It’s weird because after 45 novels, you would think I would have this creativity thing down to a science—or an art.  Either way, after all this time and all this practice, it should be easy.

And yet, it’s frustratingly…. Not!

The good news is, I’m finished with Book #6 which will go on preorder at the end of the month.

The better news is that Book #5 (Only Together) which goes on sale June 1 is finished and ready-to-go.

That leaves Book #7, which I’m writing and Book #8 which is currently on permanent-swirl in my head.

Strangely, I have many parts in mind for both books. I just have to sit down and write them—or so it seems. But first, somewhere I have to find that creativity that somehow seems to have gotten lost.

Don’t worry, dear reader. I’m sure I shall find it somewhere.

Maybe it’s hiding in the Game of Thrones videos I’ve somehow become so interested in watching even though I’ve only known of the show in passing these last eight seasons. (And no, I’m not going to watch the whole thing. I’d never make it through it, but it is fascinating nonetheless from a story person’s point of view. For a mesmerizing take on that for all you writers out there,

Maybe it’s hiding in one of the myriad of TED and TEDx talks I’ve watched over the last month or so, trying to find just the right ones for my sixth grade life skills class. Lots of amazing people in this world—that much I now know.

Maybe it’s in those snippets of dreams I get at three a.m. when I’m just too enthralled with trying to, you know, actually sleep to get up and write something down. Though I did stumble out to the kitchen and find my white board the other night to write this part down:  My old man was a thief, a drunk, and a liar, and now here I am raising a doctor. I guess it just goes to show you what one generation can do to change the world.

Crazy thing is, when I re-read it, it sounds so motivational, and yet, I know in the story it is so not.almost see it, almost feel it, almost experience it, and then it’s gone again.

I think that’s why I started writing in the first place, or at least one of the reasons—because I wanted to try to capture the ephemeral nature of the splashes of insight God had seen fit to send into my life.

And oddly, I think one of those insights is that creativity is a blessing that must be recognized and used at the moment it shows up. Because there is no guarantee you’ll ever come across it again.

How about you, dear reader, how do you experience creativity in your life?  What things do you do to get it to show itself?  What is your most creative endeavor?

I’d love to know….  Maybe that will be the thing that will spark my own creativity and get it to come out and play. It’s worth a shot!

Only Together

The Thursday Flyover Replay : Political Garbage, Dodgers Win World Series, and Animals Who Drink

Presented by Russell Sherrard,

Narrated by Artificial Intelligence, Our Hosts are Christopher and Jenny,

THE FLYOVER,

Thursday, October 31, 2024,

Good Morning! On this day in 1864, Nevada was admitted as the 36th state, despite having only 40,000 inhabitants—short of the 60,000 typically required—thanks to the wealth generated by Virginia City’s rich silver deposits discovered in 1859.

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,

Biden Tries to Clean Up ‘Garbage’ Remark,

The Biden administration continued its efforts to clarify President Biden’s remarks on Tuesday where he called supporters of former President Trump “garbage” during a call with Voto Latino.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre fielded several questions at Wednesday’s briefing, stating Biden was misinterpreted and that he was commenting on a joke made at Trump’s New York rally.

Vice President Harris was also questioned about Biden’s characterization of Trump supporters and said she was against, “any criticism of people based on who they voted for.”

In response to Biden’s comments, Trump introduced a new vehicle to his motorcade in Green Bay: a campaign-themed garbage truck. Trump spoke to reporters from inside the truck, comparing the “garbage” comment to Hillary Clinton’s famous “deplorables” gaff.

Trump then motored to his rally in the garbage truck and kept his orange safety vest on for his speech.

Supreme Court: Virginia Can Purge Registrations,

The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted Virginia’s emergency request to remove over 1,600 voter registrations, aiming to prevent non-U.S. citizens from voting, and sent it to a lower appeals court for consideration.

This decision reverses a federal court’s Friday order granting the U.S. Justice Department’s request for an injunction blocking Virginia’s registration purge.

Justice Department lawyers argued that Virginia violated a “quiet period” before the election by moving so late to remove the names of voters it suspects aren’t U.S. citizens.

State officials said that even if the registrations of some U.S. citizens were purged by mistake, Virginia’s same-day voter registration policy ensures that they could still vote on Election Day.

Dodgers Win World Series in 5 Games,

The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series Wednesday night, beating the New York Yankees 7-6 in a come-from-behind victory filled with Yankee errors and mistakes.

The Dodgers dominated the Yankees throughout the Series, taking the first three games behind the powerful hitting of Freddie Freeman. Freeman ended Game 1 with a 10th-inning walk-off grand slam and then set a record by hitting another home run every night until last night.

In Wednesday’s final game, the Yankees jumped out to an early 5-0 lead that lasted until the 5th inning, when three errors led to five unearned runs, tying the game 5-5. The Dodgers took the winning 7-6 lead in the 8th.

This marked the 12th time the two great baseball rivals have met, and only the fourth time that the Dodgers emerged as winners. The last time they played, in 1981, the Dodgers also won, four games to two.

POLITICS,

The Washington Post reported it had lost 250,000 subscribers—an increase from the previously reported 200,000—following its decision not to endorse Vice President Harris, resulting in a 10% decline in readership.

Authorities say evidence in the ballot box fires set in the Northwest point to the culprit being a balding man aged 30 to 40 with metalworking experience, partly based on the type of incendiary devices used, which were marked with the message “Free Gaza.”

U.S. officials confirmed on Wednesday that they conducted military airstrikes in central Syria’s desert, killing as many as 35 militants from the Islamic State group.

TAKEOFF,

Supreme Court: Kennedy Stays on the Ballot,

The Supreme Court rejected a last-minute appeal on Tuesday to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name from the ballot in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Kennedy sought to have his name withdrawn from these battleground states after dropping out of the race and endorsing former President Donald Trump. Votes cast for Kennedy could impact a close race, even though he’s no longer running.

The court provided no reason for rejecting Kennedy’s appeal. However, election officials in Wisconsin and Michigan described the ballot change as impossible because early voting is already well underway.

More Newspapers End Endorsements,

USA Today announced Monday that it will not endorse a presidential candidate this election cycle, joining the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post in sidestepping the traditional journalism practice.

The Minnesota Star Tribune, Sun Sentinel, Tampa Bay Times, and the Omaha World-Herald, are among other larger regional and national newspapers not endorsing a candidate. The move may be motivated by papers unwilling to lose revenue and readers, according to an industry expert.

The Washington Post reportedly lost over 200,000 digital subscriptions—about 8% of its digital and print subscribers—since deciding not to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

Jeff Bezos, the Washington Post owner, on Monday defended the decision, calling it “principled,” as Americans believe the media is biased.

Comedic Actress Teri Garr Dead at 79,

Teri Garr, an Oscar-nominated comedic actress renowned for her roles in Young Frankenstein, Mr. Mom, and Tootsie, has died from complications related to multiple sclerosis. She was 79.

In a career spanning over 40 years, Garr captivated audiences with her quirky persona and quick wit, becoming a familiar face in movies and on sitcoms and late-night shows. Television host David Letterman called her one of his favorite guests.

Mr. Mom co-star Michael Keaton described Garr as legendary and her comedic work, especially in Young Frankenstein, as “great.” You can see a clip here.

Garr is survived by her daughter, Molly O’Neil, and a grandson, Tyryn.

POLITICS,

Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday refused to recuse herself from the case against suspected would-be Donald Trump assassin Ryan Routh, dismissing his claims of bias and partiality toward the prosecution.

The FBI is investigating two ballot box fires in the Portland, Oregon, area, saying the incidents were connected and “very similar” to an unsuccessful attempt to burn a ballot box in the area earlier this month.

Terrorist group Hezbollah has named Naim Qassem, one of its few remaining senior leaders, to replace former leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike last month.

The resulting disfigurement inflicted emotional wounds that haunted her throughout her childhood and adulthood.

One fateful day, Marni ventured into the heart of the mountains, accompanied by her faithful wolf companion.

Time slips away, and darkness descended upon the dense forest.

Exhausted and disoriented, Marni seeks refuge. Curling up in a hidden nook, she falls asleep.

On awakening, her treasured pet was nowhere to be found.

Overwhelmed, Marni turns to heaven, beseeching the Lord for guidance and assistance.

A hauntingly beautiful figure clothed in pristine white appears before her.

This mysterious woman calls out Marni’s name and beckoned her to follow to a lone cabin.

In the heart of the mountains, the MYSTERY Healer and Marni embarked on an extraordinary journey of restoration and self-discovery.

TAKEOFF,

Americans Hitting the Polls Early,

With one last week to go before Election Day, over 45.5 million Americans have already cast their ballots either in person or via mail.

Democrats lead Republicans in early voting 42% to 40%, with the other 18% unknown, and early voters have favored in-person voting over mail-in ballots.

Fifty-three percent of early voters are women and 45% are men, and nearly half of all early voters were aged 65 or older.

In 2020, a record number of Americans voted early. By election day that year more than 101,450,000 people had already voted.

Philadelphia DA Sues Musk to Halt $1M Payouts,

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is suing Elon Musk to halt his $1 million daily giveaways to Pennsylvania voters, funded by Musk’s pro-Trump America PAC.

Krasner’s lawsuit claims the Musk’s lottery, which awards cash randomly to swing-state voters who support a constitutional petition, is an illegal attempt to influence the Nov. 5 presidential election.

Musk’s giveaways have already awarded $1 million each to nine voters across key swing states, with more winners to be announced daily.

A court hearing on the matter is set for Friday, as Krasner seeks an injunction to stop further payments.

List: World’s Most Valuable Media Brands,

Google retained its title as the world’s most valuable media brand for the fourth year in a row, with U.S. companies holding nine of the top ten spots on Brand Finance’s annual list.

Traditional broadcasters such as Disney, Fox, and CBS have lost brand value and strength amid a consumer shift to online streaming and social media, with the most valuable brands now focused on user-generated or third-party content.

Google far outpaced other companies with a $333 billion valuation. TikTok was second with a $84 billion valuation. Instagram, No. 4, was the fastest-growing brand, increasing its value by 49% to $70 billion.

American companies largely dominated the top ten, except for Chinese brands WeChat, Tencent, and TikTok.

POLITICS,

Steve Bannon, former Trump administration strategist, will be released from a Connecticut prison today after completing a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.

President Biden participated in early voting Monday, submitting his ballot near Wilmington, Delaware, where he spent the weekend, before returning to the White House.

NATO officials confirmed that North Korean troops have been deployed to Russia, operating in the Kursk border region where Ukrainian forces are also present.

Not a Sparrow 10/29/2024

Send to Kindle

by Suzanne D. Williams

Narrated by Artificial Intelligence, Jenny,

Click Above to Read/Listen to the Devotional

THERE IT WAS on the screen, from our White House, those in quote-unquote political power, a multiple picture post justifying abortion as contraception, and what I expected to happen didn’t happen. There was no rage, no voice of judgment, instead all of heaven paused. God took a breath. What have we done to cause Him who created mankind to stop speaking? He came as an infant, our Savior, our Messiah, was born of a woman. She carried him nine months; she gave birth to Him in a stable. He was the eldest of a large family. He saw His brothers and sisters come into this earth. They laughed together, they cried together, they ran the hillsides of Nazareth together. 

“Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.” (Mark 6:3)

It’s not the first time. Israel decided, ages ago, to sacrifice their children to the god Molech. A no-god at all. And David wrote of it in the psalms as a valley of death. An actual valley of actual death, of the most precious among us. Other civilizations have done the same, and yet we, here in 2024, still can’t see how distorted and disgusting it is. We can’t look Him in the eye and admit what we’ve done. Oh, not all of us. Many of us are against it. Many have repented and been forgiven. But I’ll have you know God doesn’t lose a life. Not one. Not a sparrow. Not a fetus. 

I wish I could find it. The hatred, the anger, but right now, I weep because the God who saved me, who delivered me, who healed me of what was impossible and could not be done, without doctors without drugs without any intervention, just His mercy. That God didn’t speak, but I felt His weight, and I wept His tears. Then I looked up the photos of my daughter that I have stored on social media and His smile returned. She’s turning ahead another year today, and I can’t imagine life without her. I can’t imagine. I don’t want to imagine. 

Yet there it is. Though I’ve hidden it, though I won’t see it again, it remains an imprint in my thinking, and the memory poised, my finger in midair and the God of heaven rushing over me, unable to move. God Himself, who spoke light into being, couldn’t move because of what man had done. And justified it.

THE FLYOVER,

Monday, October 28, 2024,

Good Morning! On this day in 1886, the final rivet was driven during the dedication ceremony of the Statue of Liberty. New York City’s first-ever ticker tape parade celebrated the occasion.

Like millions of storm-seasoned Floridians, a bald eagle named Clive showed true grit during Hurricane Milton, white-knuckling it through fierce winds from his treetop perch.

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 Rally Hits Madison Square Garden,

Former President Donald Trump held a packed rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday, drawing nearly 20,000 supporters inside and reportedly turning away tens of thousands more.

The six-hour event featured appearances by several high-profile guests, including Hulk Hogan, Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and a rare campaign appearance by former first lady Melania Trump.

Performers earlier in the rally included a comedian who drew extensive media criticism for ethnic and racial jokes. Trump’s campaign said the jokes didn’t reflect the views of the campaign.

During his speech, Trump announced a new policy proposal to support tax credits for family caregivers, outlined his immigration proposals, including enhanced deportation measures, and suggested legislation that would make burning the American flag punishable by one year in jail.

He concluded the rally with Frank Sinatra’s New York, New York, expressing his desire to win the traditionally Democratic state.

Major Papers Drop Presidential Endorsements,

Significant internal upheaval erupted at The Washington Post after the paper withdrew its planned endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris Friday, just days after the same move at the Los Angeles Times.

The Post, founded over a century ago but only endorsing presidential candidates since 1976, has now announced it will permanently end its endorsements, leading to the resignation of editor-at-large Robert Kagan.

At the L.A. Times, similar tensions arose when editorial board head Mariel Garza and two other board members resigned after owner Patrick Soon-Shiong blocked the endorsement process.

This trend mirrors industry concerns about how endorsements affect public perception of news. In 2020, 44 newspapers chose not to endorse any candidate—nearly matching the 47 that endorsed Joe Biden.

American Dream Carries $4.4M Price Tag,

Living the American Dream will cost households $4.4 million, according to a new analysis.

The biggest expense is a comfortable retirement, estimated at nearly $1.6 million for a 20-year period.

Homeownership follows at $930,000 over a lifetime, while raising two children and funding their college education totals $832,000. Vehicle ownership rounds out major expenses at $811,000.

These costs exceed typical lifetime earnings, with men averaging $3.3 million and women $2.4 million over their careers.

POLITICS,

Political ad spending is increasingly shifting to streaming, with House super PACs investing nearly $70 million on digital platforms. Traditional TV, however, remains crucial, especially for live sports like NFL and MLB, to reach key demographics.

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman described former President Donald Trump’s impact in Pennsylvania as “astonishing,” comparing high-visibility sales of Trump merchandise to that of Taylor Swift.

Recent betting data from Star Sports shows 95% of bets favor former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, giving him 60% odds versus Harris’ 42%.

CrossReads Weekly Devotional: Faith’s Checkbook: Sins of Ignorance 10/28/2024

Faith's Checkbook

by C. H. Spurgeon,

Narrated by Artificial Intelligence,

Click Above to Read/Listen to the Devotional

And it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance. (Numbers 15:25)

Because of our ignorance we are not fully aware of our sins of ignorance. Yet we may be sure they are many, in the form both of commission and omission. We may be doing in all sincerity, as a service to God, that which He has never commanded and can never accept.

The Lord knows these sins of ignorance every one. This may well alarm us, since in justice He will require these trespasses at our hand; but on the other hand, faith spies comfort in this fact, for the Lord will see to it that stains unseen by us shall yet be washed away. He sees the sin that He may cease to see it by casting it behind His back.

Our great comfort is that Jesus, the true priest, has made atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel. That atonement secures the pardon of unknown sins. His precious blood cleanses us from all sin. Whether our eyes have seen it and wept over it or not, God has seen it, Christ has atoned for it, the Spirit bears witness to the pardon of it, and so we have a threefold peace.

O my Father, I praise Thy divine knowledge, which not only perceives my iniquities but provides an atonement which delivers me from the guilt of them, even before I know that I am guilty.
