TAKEOFF,

ABC Settles With Trump for $15 Million,

BC News and anchorman George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement with President-elect Donald Trump in his defamation suit, with the network paying Trump $15 million.

ABC News will make the payment as a charitable contribution to a “Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past.” ABC will also pay $1 million in Trump’s attorney fees.

Trump filed the suit against Stephanopoulos after a March 10 interview with South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace in which Stephanopoulos asserted that Trump was found “liable for rape” in a civil case.

Trump spent Saturday afternoon at the Army-Navy football game, joined by Vice President-elect JD Vance, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and other high-profile supporters.

U.S. Citizen Freed From Syrian Prison,

American citizen Travis Timmerman was freed from a Syrian prison on Friday and taken out of the country by the U.S. military amid the downfall of President Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship.

He was transported to the Al Tanf U.S. military base and then flown out of Syria by helicopter and handed over to the U.S. State Department.

Timmerman went to Syria for a religious pilgrimage but disappeared into Syria’s prison system about seven months ago.

Meanwhile, U.S. officials continue to search for Austin Tice, an American journalist who disappeared 12 years ago near Damascus. A member of U.S.-based Hostage Aid Worldwide said he had visited detention centers and the houses of prominent figures in Assad’s circle, but the search had so far not produced results.

Some U.S. officials fear that Tice could have been killed during a recent round of Israeli airstrikes.

Ice, Snow Causing Dangerous Conditions,

Close to 40 inches of snow fell across parts of western New York and Michigan on Friday and Saturday.

Freezing rain created dangerous travel conditions in the Midwest and Plains on Saturday morning with hours-long closures of major interstates and dozens of crashes. Temperatures fell to the single digits in the Midwest, and wind chills were in the teens from Philadelphia to Boston.

Winter storm warnings were in place for California’s Sierra Nevada mountains on Saturday, where 6 to 24 inches of snow were possible.

And Now a word from our sponsor, The Life of Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on The Life of Charles Haddon Spurgeon

In publishing the life of the late CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON, the publishers feel a peculiar pleasure and believe themselves especially fortunate in having secured the Rev. Russell H. Conwell, D.D., LL.D., pastor at The Temple, of Philadelphia, to prepare the work. There are many reasons why the popular preacher, who might justly be called the Spurgeon of America, should in this way pay a loving tribute to the memory of his great English ecclesiastical brother, and why such a book must have an absorbing interest for all readers. Foremost among these might be considered his personal acquaintance with the great divine of gigantic efforts and wonderful achievements, and the deep study he has ever given to his popular brother preacher’s life and the measure of its successes.

As a fellow-preacher of the Gospel, he knew better than any layman how to interpret the hidden springs of success to count the cost of Herculean efforts made, and better, understand the great man’s life-work in all its thousands of minute details which he, as an intimate personal friend had the opportunity to observe.

Like Spurgeon, he has the power to earn and raise large sums of money, but he devotes every dollar beyond a reasonable living expense to the cause he has so much at heart. His remarkable line of work, also, in many ways corresponds with that of Spurgeon,

The similarity in the work of the English Spurgeon and the American Conwell has often been commented upon by press and people. Spurgeon made, and Conwell is making, a complete sacrifice of talents, time and health to the one aim in life-the salvation of souls. Each commenced life a poor boy, and had an early life fraught with discouragements and temptations.

The author’s grand work for the Grace Baptist Church, of Philadelphia, has justly distinguished him as the greatest preacher of his denomination in this country. He was a student at Yale College, and graduated in the Law Department of Albany University and was admitted to the New York bar in 1865. His health not permitting the practice of law, he began as traveling correspondent of the Boston Traveler and the New York Tribune, during which his constant companion and warmest friend was Bayard Taylor, with who he traveled all over the world, and obtained distinction as a journalist.

In addition to the pastorate of a church which has one of the most remarkable houses of worship in the world, open every hour of every day and night in the year, and is never untenanted, Dr. Conwell is the head of Temple College, connected with the church fostered by him, which is for the free education of working-men and women in the classic collegiate branches, with fourteen professors, a preparatory department that sends pupils to Yale, Harvard and Amherst, and giving itself decrees equal to those of Princeton. He is the head of the Samaritan Hospital, also an outgrowth of his personal effort and example, which is doing incalculable good in Philadelphia.

In addition. to his church work, Dr. Conwell lectures all over the United States, to large and delighted audiences.

He is also a prolific author, The most important of his works are a ” Life of Garfield,” which he wrote at the home of the martyred President, in Mentor; “Why and How the Chinese Immigrate,” the material for which he gathered in the Chinese Empire Life of Hon. James G. Blaine,” Life of Bayard Taylor,” and “Acres of Diamonds,” each of which has been appreciatively read by thousands of readers in this and other countries.
