Report: More than 50 jihadist cases in 29 states show ‘persistent terror threat’ | National
SUMMARY: A U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security report highlights a persistent terror threat from foreign jihadist networks and homegrown extremists, identifying over 50 cases across 29 states from April 2021 to September 2024. The report notes increased threats following the August 2021 ISIS-K attack and the October 2023 Hamas assault. Committee Chairman Mark Green criticizes the Biden administration’s approach, citing vulnerabilities from policy failures and open borders. Convictions include various individuals involved in terrorism, material support for Islamic terrorist organizations, and attempts to commit violent acts. The report emphasizes serious deficiencies in the Department of Homeland Security’s capabilities and screening practices.

SUMMARY: A cold front is bringing rain, drizzle, and snow to Central Kentucky, particularly in areas like Mount Sterling, Morhead, and Paris. The rain will transition to snow showers later today, with some minor accumulations expected, particularly in Southeastern Kentucky’s higher elevations. A winter weather advisory is in effect for certain counties. Temperatures, currently in the mid-30s, will drop as winds shift, creating wind chills in the low 30s. Snow flurries may persist into tomorrow morning, with the heaviest snow in Southeast Kentucky. The weather will clear up by the weekend, with sunshine expected on Saturday and Sunday.
It may not be Christmas yet, but some snow falling this time of year just feels right. A fast-moving clipper system will make for some slight wintry accumulations, particularly in elevated areas of Kentucky. Stay safe!

New job opportunities lead to slight uptick in Kentucky unemployment rate | Kentucky
SUMMARY: Kentucky’s unemployment rate rose to 5.1% in November, up from 4.3% a year earlier, exceeding the national rate of 4.2%. Despite 2.1 million residents in the workforce and a monthly increase of 5,500 nonfarm jobs, the number of unemployed also grew. Experts note more workers are entering the labor force than gaining jobs, causing the unemployment rise. Governor Andy Beshear recently highlighted the state’s economic success, with 170 companies planning to create over 9,400 jobs and invest nearly $7 billion. Beshear attributes this growth to a strong economy, while Republicans credit tax-cutting policies for boosting job creation.

SUMMARY: The weather will be colder this weekend with temperatures dropping near freezing at night and staying in the 30s during the day. Gusty winds from the west will shift to the north, bringing a mix of rain, snow, and wintry mix starting tomorrow. Snow is expected to accumulate, with some areas possibly receiving up to an inch, especially in southeastern Kentucky. Saturday will be very cold, with highs just above freezing, and snow flurries may continue into the weekend. By Sunday, temperatures will rise slightly, but snow is unlikely to last. Christmas weather is uncertain, with scattered showers possible.
