 | Tuesday, December 3, 2024 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1910, the world's first neon lights were turned on for public display at the Paris Motor Show by French inventor Georges Claude. Take a look at the video here. Today is Giving Tuesday, and we're working with two charities dedicated to helping children in Africa: World Concern's mission to provide emergency nutrition to children in Somalia (we'll send you their message later today), and OneHope, today's edition sponsor supporting Christian children in Nigeria. Let's make this Giving Tuesday count and transform young lives. | | | |  Trump Issues Gaza Hostages Ultimatum
President-elect Donald Trump demanded on Monday the immediate release of Israeli hostages in Gaza via Truth Social, announcing there would be "HELL TO PAY" if they weren't freed before his Jan. 20 inauguration. Trump's emphatic warning came after confirmation of U.S.-Israeli citizen Omer Neutra's death, shown in footage of Hamas fighters pulling him and others from a burning tank during the Oct. 7 attack. Hamas also released a recent hostage video featuring captured Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. In the video, Alexander, under apparent duress, appeals to Trump to negotiate the hostages' release. Of 251 total hostages taken following Hamas's Oct. 7 attack, 97 remain in Gaza, with 35 confirmed dead. | Hunter Biden Pardon Rattles Democrats Democratic leaders expressed disapproval Monday of President Joe Biden's decision to reverse his previous pledges and grant his son, Hunter Biden, a "full and unconditional pardon."
Members of both parties agreed that by accusing the justice system of running a politicized witchhunt against his son, Biden echoed the same accusations President-elect Donald Trump made for years. Several prominent Democrats pushed back against Biden's justification for the pardon. "Hunter brought the legal trouble he faced on himself, and no one is above the law, not a President and not a President's son," said Colorado's Democratic Gov. Jared Polis. Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) said on X, "This wasn't a politically-motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers." | FBI's Most Wanted Domestic Terrorist Caught After 21 Years A fugitive on the FBI's most wanted terrorist list for 21 years was arrested in North Wales, ending a decades-long international manhunt. Daniel Andreas San Diego is accused of two bombings targeting companies associated with animal testing in California in 2003. The FBI had offered a $250,000 reward for his arrest. San Diego now faces extradition to the U.S. to stand trial. He operated under aliases, including "Danny Webb," which he used to purchase a £425,000 secluded property near a wooded area in Llanrwst, Wales. The remote location likely provided natural cover and isolation, but the property purchase left a digital trail that led to his capture. | |  | | ➤ Capitol Police arrested the communications director for Democratic Rep. Joe Morelle of New York Monday morning after he was caught trying to bring four magazines of ammunition into the U.S. House. Morelle's office said they fired him, effective immediately.

Be the Light in Nigeria Many children in northern Nigeria woke up today to terror and the threat of worse. Boko Haram continues its reign of violence—abducting, trafficking, and killing—targeting young children and Christians. Survivors are left displaced, hungry, and grieving. Nigeria now ranks No. 6 on the World Watch List of the most dangerous places to be a Christian. Yet, amid this darkness, OneHope and local churches are unwavering in their mission to deliver the Good News of Jesus. This Giving Tuesday, give hope to children living in fear. A $33 gift reaches 100 children with life-changing resources. And through a $3,000 matching challenge, your impact can be doubled. | |  | | ➤ AP Top 25: Ohio State and Miami both experienced significant drops in the rankings after losing to unranked opponents on Saturday.
