TAKEOFF,

Trump Issues Gaza Hostages Ultimatum,

President-elect Donald Trump demanded on Monday the immediate release of Israeli hostages in Gaza via Truth Social, announcing there would be “HELL TO PAY” if they weren’t freed before his Jan. 20 inauguration.

Trump’s emphatic warning came after confirmation of U.S.-Israeli citizen Omer Neutra’s death, shown in footage of Hamas fighters pulling him and others from a burning tank during the Oct. 7 attack.

Hamas also released a recent hostage video featuring captured Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. In the video, Alexander, under apparent duress, appeals to Trump to negotiate the hostages’ release.

Of 251 total hostages taken following Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack, 97 remain in Gaza, with 35 confirmed dead.

Hunter Biden Pardon Rattles Democrats,

Democratic leaders expressed disapproval Monday of President Joe Biden’s decision to reverse his previous pledges and grant his son, Hunter Biden, a “full and unconditional pardon.”

Members of both parties agreed that by accusing the justice system of running a politicized witchhunt against his son, Biden echoed the same accusations President-elect Donald Trump made for years. Several prominent Democrats pushed back against Biden’s justification for the pardon.

“Hunter brought the legal trouble he faced on himself, and no one is above the law, not a President and not a President’s son,” said Colorado’s Democratic Gov. Jared Polis.

Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) said on X, “This wasn’t a politically-motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers.”

FBI’s Most Wanted Domestic Terrorist Caught After 21 Years,

A fugitive on the FBI’s most wanted terrorist list for 21 years was arrested in North Wales, ending a decades-long international manhunt.

Daniel Andreas San Diego is accused of two bombings targeting companies associated with animal testing in California in 2003. The FBI had offered a $250,000 reward for his arrest.

San Diego now faces extradition to the U.S. to stand trial. He operated under aliases, including “Danny Webb,” which he used to purchase a £425,000 secluded property near a wooded area in Llanrwst, Wales.

The remote location likely provided natural cover and isolation, but the property purchase left a digital trail that led to his capture.

POLITICS,

Capitol Police arrested the communications director for Democratic Rep. Joe Morelle of New York Monday morning after he was caught trying to bring four magazines of ammunition into the U.S. House. Morelle’s office said they fired him, effective immediately.

More Democrats have joined the race for chair of the Democratic National Committee, including Robert Houton, a former Senate candidate from Maryland. He adds to a growing field of contenders.

California lawmakers kicked off a special legislative session Monday in an effort to “Trump-proof” the state from potential “unlawful federal government action.”

TAKEOFF,

Biden Gives Surprise Pardon to Son Hunter,

President Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter Sunday night after promising he wouldn’t use his executive authority to pardon or commute his son’s conviction on federal gun charges.

In a statement accompanying the pardon, Biden blamed Hunter’s conviction on his political enemies. “Hunter was singled out only because he was my son—and that is wrong,” Biden said.

Both David Weiss, the special counsel prosecuting the case, and Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell declined to comment. The White House said as recently as last Monday that the president wouldn’t pardon his son.

Biden said he believed in the justice system but that his son’s conviction was “infected” by “raw politics,” adding “I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.”

Trump Taps Former Aide for FBI Chief,

President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to name former White House aide Kash Patel as FBI Director, calling the 44-year-old lawyer an “‘America First’ fighter.”

Patel, a former national security prosecutor and chief of staff to the acting defense secretary, drew praise from Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans.

He faced criticism over his limited law enforcement experience from some in that field.

If confirmed by the Senate, Patel would replace Chris Wray, appointed by Trump in 2017, whose term runs until 2027 unless removed.

Football Conference Championships Set,

College football’s conference championship games are set after a wild, brawl-filled rivalry weekend.

Ohio State’s fourth straight loss to rival Michigan, a stunning 13-10 upset, paved the way for Penn State to take on undefeated Oregon in the Big Ten title game and for a post-game brawl when Michigan players planted a flag on the Buckeyes’ field.

President-elect Donald Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago on Friday evening, where they discussed tariffs, drug policy, and immigration.

The meeting came after Trump signaled potential 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada until the countries stop the flow of drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States.

Trudeau has cited the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement negotiations as a sign he believes he can work with Trump on trade and avoid a trade war.

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.

TAKEOFF,

Trump Cabinet Picks Get Bomb Threats,

Several of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees and administration appointees faced bomb threats and “swatting” attacks on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, Trump’s nominee for U.N. ambassador, was among those targeted while traveling with her family, while former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who recently withdrew his bid for attorney general, had a bomb squad respond to his Florida home.

The FBI is investigating the numerous threats targeting appointees for departments including Agriculture, Housing, and Labor, with some receiving pro-Palestinian-themed messages and others having bomb squads dispatched to their homes.

None of the incidents involved Trump or Vice President-elect JD Vance, who are under Secret Service protection, while transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt condemned the threats as “violent, unAmerican threats.”

China Releases Three American Prisoners,

The Biden administration secured the release of three Americans detained in China through a prisoner swap involving at least one Chinese citizen held in U.S. custody.

U.S. officials confirmed Mark Swidan, Kai Li, and John Leung were freed following years of imprisonment on alleged spying and drug-trafficking charges.

The U.S. had classified Li and Swidan as wrongfully detained, engaging in numerous talks with Chinese officials over the past four years regarding a possible release.

The White House has not disclosed who, if anyone, was released in exchange for the three U.S. citizens.

How America Celebrates Thanksgiving,

Americans are regionally divided on trends, family traditions, and what makes a city a festive destination, according to studies on how the nation celebrates Thanksgiving.

One study found that Americans even pronounce Thanksgiving in three distinct ways: “THANGS-giv-ing,” “THANKSgiving,” and “thanksGIVing,” reflecting regional differences in speech.

Thanksgiving side dishes also had regional preferences, with candied yams favored in the West, green bean casserole in the Midwest, cornbread dressing in the South, and potato casserole in the East.

A recent survey named San Diego, California, as the best city to visit for Thanksgiving, citing its numerous highly rated restaurants. Atlanta, Georgia, also made the list for its holiday decorations and airport.

POLITICS,

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford University health policy professor known for opposing COVID-19 lockdowns, as director of the National Institutes of Health.

Speaking of the president-elect, Emerson College’s first post-election poll revealed Trump’s favorability increased by six points to 54%, while President Joe Biden’s job approval fell to a four-year low of 36%.

Meanwhile, the Harris campaign admitted internal polls never showed her defeating Trump, despite assuring donors they could win and secure three to four of the swing states.

After a word from one of our sponsors Jenny will be Narrating the last half of the news.

Thanks Christopher,

DEAR FLYOVER REPLAY READER,

The Flyover Replay believes that—like us—everyday Americans are fed up with the daily barrage of biased corporate media. Some of you have been flying with us from the start, and others have boarded along the way. I am so grateful you’re here.

Since our launch, the mainstream media has gotten worse—with celebrity journalists pushing their agendas and favorite candidates under the guise of impartial reporting. We aren’t perfect, but when we miss the mark, we own it and correct it because your trust is essential to our success.

What I’ve learned since our launch is that millions of Americans still value straightforward, fact-driven journalism—something that’s hard to find among the circus of today’s broadcast, cable, and print outlets.

But let me be candid. To keep delivering free, unbiased news, I need your support. Although I appreciate our advertisers, they don’t cover all our costs. Many of you have asked how you can help. The Flyover Replay is, and will always be, 100% free. But to maintain that, I’m asking readers who are able to make a special contribution to consider doing so.

I understand that not everyone is in a position to give, and for some, even $15 is a big sacrifice. Any amount, however large or small, will go a long way in helping us continue to provide fair, unbiased news and meet our financial goals by the end of the month. Will you make a special contribution today? EMail Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com and I will send you a link where you can contribute any amount.

Now, back to the News.
