THE FLYOVER,

Friday, September 20, 2024,

Good Morning! On this day in 1519, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan set sail on the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe. He crossed the Pacific before his death in the Philippines in 1521, with only one of his ships completing the round-the-world voyage.

In today’s edition, we feature a story of a sheriff’s deputy making a heroic rescue by jumping into a moving car. Deputy Miron’s feat is the stuff of action sequences.

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,

Hezbollah, Israel Escalate Attacks,

Hezbollah and Israel exchanged cross-border attacks on Thursday after two days of remote-detonated explosions of pagers and walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah.

In a televised speech, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said the attacks crossed a “red line” and declared them an act of war. Israel launched a new wave of airstrikes in Lebanon while he was speaking.

According to sources, Israel spent 15 years planning the pager bombings, using a complex system of intelligence officers, shell companies, and unwitting participants.

The communication devices were triggered remotely and reportedly killed at least 37 people and wounded up to 3,000. Israel has declined to comment on the allegations.

Kamala Parody Creator Sues California,

The creator of an AI-generated parody video mocking Vice President Kamala Harris filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday seeking permanent injunctions against California’s new laws restricting political deepfakes.

Christopher Kohls, known as “Mr Reagan” on X, alleges the laws signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom violate First and 14th Amendment rights.

Newsom signed California’s law banning political deepfakes, set to take effect before the November 2024 election. The legislation aims to combat election misinformation.

Deputy Jumps into Moving Car, Saves Man,

Traffic cameras captured the moment when a Michigan County Sheriff’s deputy jumped into a moving vehicle to help a driver experiencing a medical emergency.

Deputy Nicole Miron and trainee Anthony Gross responded last week to a report of a car driving erratically. The driver failed to acknowledge the deputies’ lights or siren, forcing Miron and Gross to pull up beside the car.

Miron then leaped from her moving squad car into the other vehicle. “I don’t think I even hit the side of the truck or anything,” she said. “I did a clear jump in and put the vehicle in park, and here we are.”

The driver received medical attention and is recovering.

POLITICS,

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cited the migrant crisis as contributing to rising U.S. unemployment, saying the number of potential workers crossing the border is overwhelming the number of available jobs.

A Kentucky district judge, Kevin Mullins, was fatally shot in his chambers at the Letcher County courthouse, with one person in custody and the motive unclear, officials said.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday that he intends to advance a bipartisan government funding bill after Speaker Mike Johnson’s proposal failed to pass the House. Funding for many federal departments is due to expire on Sept. 30.

Israeli authorities arrested a citizen suspected of accepting payment in an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Prime Minister Netanyahu and other officials.

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.
