TAKEOFF,

CEO Shooter No Longer in NYC,

Authorities believe the suspect in Wednesday’s deadly shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has left New York City, boarding a bus at a Manhattan terminal bound for Atlanta shortly after the incident.

Investigators confirmed the suspect arrived in New York City days earlier on a bus from Atlanta. The Atlanta Police Department said they were contacted by the NYPD and will provide assistance as needed.

Police have continued to recover evidence, including what appears to be the backpack carried by the suspected shooter, Friday evening in Central Park.

Possible DNA evidence has also been collected. Authorities have confirmed that they recovered a water bottle at the scene, along with a fake ID and a cellphone.

Economy adds 227,000 Jobs,

The U.S. economy rebounded in November, adding 227,000 jobs despite unemployment rising to 4.2%, the Labor Department reported Friday.

The new numbers surpassed October’s gain of 36,000 jobs, with hourly wages rising 0.4%, but the job market is showing signs of a gradual slowdown.

According to one economist, the increase in the unemployment rate against job and income gains could trigger a new cut in interest rates this month.

College Football Preview,

It’s championship weekend in college football, where all conference titles will be determined, and some games will affect the final playoff seeding.

The Power 4 conferences have their championship games today—No. 16 Iowa State faces No. 15 Arizona State in the Big 12 Championship, and No. 5 Georgia takes on No. 2 Texas in the SEC title match.

No. 3 Penn State battles top-ranked Oregon in the Big Ten Championship, and No. 17 Clemson will conclude the day against No. 8 SMU in the ACC title game.

The NCAA is expected to release the final selection committee rankings Sunday, along with the 12-team playoff bracket and game locations.

POLITICS,

President Biden and aides have discussed issuing preemptive pardons for individuals they believe President-elect Donald Trump may target for retribution, sources say.

President-elect Donald Trump expressed confidence in defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth Friday, saying he is doing well and has more support than media reports suggest.

The manslaughter charge against Daniel Penny in the death of Jordan Neely was dismissed Friday after the jury was deadlocked. Deliberations will continue on the lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide.

A federal appeals court upheld a law banning TikTok in the U.S. next year unless its Chinese parent sells its stake, affirming the law’s constitutionality.

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.
