Tuesday, September 16, 2025.
Good Morning! On this day in 1920, a horse-drawn cart pulled up across from the J.P. Morgan building in the heart of Wall Street and then exploded, killing more than 30 people and injuring hundreds. Federal authorities suspected Italian anarchists, but were never able to prove a case. The Wall Street bombing remains unsolved to this day.
Today, The Flyover reports on three elderly Austrian nuns who made their escape from a nursing home to return to their convent in the Alpine peaks. Give it a read—we’re already casting the movie in our imagination.
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.
US, China Near TikTok Deal.
U.S. and Chinese negotiators said Monday they’ve reached a framework to shift TikTok into U.S.-controlled ownership, with final terms set to be discussed Friday in a call between President Trump and Chinese President Xi.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the deal, pushed by a looming Sept. 17 deadline, would protect U.S. security concerns while preserving cultural elements China wants to keep.
Oracle is leading the list of potential buyers, with ByteDance expected to retain no more than 20% ownership.
Congress may still need to sign off, since lawmakers required divestiture last year over fears that Beijing could exploit user data.
US Strikes Venezuelan Traffickers Again.
President Trump said Monday that a U.S. military strike killed three terrorists tied to Venezuelan drug cartels in international waters.
Footage released on Truth Social showed a small boat exploding after being hit by a missile. Watch it here. Trump called the action the second “kinetic strike” against alleged traffickers in the Southern Command’s area of responsibility.
The president said the boat was carrying narcotics bound for the U.S. No Americans were harmed.
The strike follows a Sept. 2 attack that killed 11 alleged traffickers and comes amid rising tensions with Venezuela’s Maduro regime, which denies the smuggling claims.
Elderly Nuns Fight to Return to Alpine Convent.
Three elderly Austrian nuns have staged a dramatic return to their old convent in the Alps after fleeing a retirement home where they say they were placed against their will.
Sisters Bernadette, 88, Regina, 86, and Rita, 82, were the last members of the Kloster Goldenstein community near Salzburg, where they had lived and worked as teachers for decades.
After church authorities dissolved the convent in 2024, the women were moved to a Catholic care home, but earlier this month, they packed their belongings, called a locksmith, and went back.
The church says their old convent rooms are unsafe and insists they need professional care, but the nuns argue they were promised lifelong residence and feel far happier at home.
