‘TARGETED ATTACK’: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese calls mass shooting at Hanukkah event, which has left at least 11 dead, “an act of evil antisemitism, terrorism that has struck the heart of our nation.”

Watch a few of the powerful stories we heard yesterday in Knott County, Kentucky, as we dedicated 18 new homes @SamaritansPurse built for families who lost theirs in devastating flooding. Thank you to Joe and @KellyCraftKY for all they did to make this possible and for being there. What a privilege to help in Jesus’ Name—and we give all the glory to God!

Today I went to Knott County in eastern Kentucky, where under a light coating of fresh snow, we dedicated 18 new homes in Jesus’ Name. These families had lost everything in catastrophic flooding, and we came to welcome them into their new homes just in time for Christmas. I’m grateful to Joe and @KellyCraftKY, the many @SamaritansPurse volunteers, our host church, and all those who helped, prayed, and gave to make this possible. The first homeowner that I met is a man who was taken off a lung transplant list when he lost his home and had to move into an RV. Now that he’s back in a home, he can get back on the organ transplant list. And the last family that I met today has 10 children! God has provided these homes, and we give Him all the glory. We want this subdivision to be a beacon of light that reminds each one of these families how much God loves and cares for them.

Mark Stoops reset the culture of Kentucky football. He brought toughness, physicality, and grit at a time when the program desperately needed all three. More than that, the high points of his tenure here fostered belief. Streaks ended. Bowls won. Standards risen. Under his leadership, Kentucky became a program that, at our best, could compete with anyone. I’ll remember his era as one defined by competitiveness and genuine excitement. I was in the stands for much of it, and saw with my own eyes the energy around our state and inside Kroger Field on gameday when Kentucky football was right. For a long stretch, Coach Stoops made it right. I am personally grateful to Mark for everything he has dedicated to this program over the last 13 years. Recent seasons have been disappointing. The combination of factors required to win at the highest level of college football has shifted dramatically. For Kentucky football to take the next step, it’s time for the next chapter. Let’s go make it happen.

After witnessing the disastrous effects of Ontario Premier Doug Ford's advertisements in the US causing the collapse of all trade talks, BC Premier David Eby now says that he will still proceed with his own similar ad campaign in America. My God these people are complete morons.
