Sunday, September 8, 2024,

Good Morning! On this day in 1930, the 3M company began selling one of its most iconic products, Scotch Tape, developed by engineer Richard Drew, the same man who invented masking tape.

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,

Man Arrested for Planned Attack on NY Jews,

Canadian authorities have arrested a 20-year-old Pakistani national for a planned mass shooting of Jews in Brooklyn. Shahzeb Jadoon was detained Wednesday in Quebec.

He planned the shooting on behalf of the Islamic State for October 7 to mark the first anniversary of the Hamas attacks in Israel.

Canadian law enforcement stopped Jadoon 12 miles from the U.S. border. Two undercover officers had been communicating with the suspect since late 2023 after he distributed ISIS propaganda, and they were tipped off to the planned attack.

Starliner Returns to Earth Unmanned,

Boeing’s Starliner successfully returned unmanned to Earth Friday. The spacecraft delivered astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the International Space Station in June, but due to issues on Boeing’s first crewed test flight, NASA determined it should return to Earth without its crew.

NASA commissioned a SpaceX craft to bring the astronauts home in February. Their mission was initially planned to last about eight days.

A livestream of the landing in New Mexico seemed to indicate Starliner returned without a hitch.

List: Countries That Drink the Most Beer,

Europeans dominate the world in beer consumption per capita, according to a study of 2022 data. Czechia tops the list for the 30th consecutive year, consuming 188.5 liters of beer per capita—almost 90 liters more than Austria, at number two.

The average Czech drinks more than one bottle of beer daily.

The top nine countries are all in Europe, with the African nation of Namibia claiming the tenth spot. The U.S. comes in at 31, and incidentally, Americans rank European beers as their favorites.

And Now, A word From one of Our Sponsors,

Before we go let me tell you about one of the books found on my Bookstore,

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.
