Good morning! On this day in 1971, the London Bridge was dedicated in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, after being dismantled in Great Britain and reconstructed in the U.S.
Is the government really about to hand you $1,000 a year for retirement? The IRS has started mailing notices to millions of Americans about a new program that deposits federal matching money directly into retirement accounts, rather than just shave it off your tax bill. But there’s a catch. Plenty of savers will get the full $1,000, while others won’t see a dime, and the difference comes down to a few details on your tax return. So who qualifies, and how do you actually claim the money? Amy has the full story on today’s episode of The Flyover Podcast. Tune in here!

 Military Execution to Be Live-Streamed
The Pentagon plans to live-stream the Dec. 3 execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army major who killed 13 people and wounded 32 in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting.
Hasan will face an Army firing squad at 1 p.m. at Fort Hood, the hour chosen to roughly match when the attack began. President Trump approved the method on the recommendation of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public,” Hegseth said. It would be the military’s first execution since 1961.
The idea of a public execution drew bipartisan pushback, with Vice President JD Vance expressing doubts about the plan, and saying if it was live-streamed, he wouldn’t watch it.

Isaias Barrels into Panhandle
Hurricane Isaias strengthened into a major Category 3 storm Friday and was expected to come ashore near Pensacola between 8 and 10 p.m. last night, with 120 mph winds, storm surge up to 9 feet, and as much as 15 inches of rain.
Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for 27 counties and mobilized about 5,000 National Guard troops. Okaloosa County ordered mandatory evacuations and opened shelters.
Two Miami-based search and rescue teams, 168 responders in all, deployed to Tallahassee for a two-week stay. Forecasters also warn of flash flooding and tornadoes into Saturday.

Bears Legend Mike Ditka Dies at 86
Mike Ditka, who coached the 1985 Chicago Bears to the franchise’s only Super Bowl title, died at age 86, his family announced Friday.
The son of a welder, Ditka earned the nickname “Iron Mike” as a football star in Pennsylvania’s steel country. As a coach, he became known for his fiery temper, and his 1985 Chicago Bears shared his larger-than-life image, captured in the team’s Super Bowl Shuffle music video.
In 1988, Ditka became the first tight end inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He and former Oakland Raiders coach Tom Flores are the only men to win Super Bowls as a player, assistant, and head coach.
Off the field, Ditka became a Chicago icon through restaurants, commercials, and a Saturday Night Live skit paying tribute to “Da Bears.” He also worked as a TV analyst and founded a fund to help struggling former players.

The overlooked mineral linked to memory slips, low energy and poor libido
Here’s something your doctor may not bring up at your next checkup. A shortfall in one common mineral has been linked to fuzzy memory, low energy, mood swings, a sagging sex drive, and weaker bones.
