[FBI Director Kash Patel @FBIDirectorKash]

New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie:

Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors - including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.

Working with our partners - as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance.

Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit https://t.co/m55w5cqC7Y

Concord Christmas lighting shooting- the city says this was not a random act of violence. 18-year-old Nasir Bostic was identified as one of the shooters. The city says the second suspected shooter is a juvenile @wsoctv

Charlotte Amber Alert:

10-month-old Nalaya Crew

Crew was wearing a light gray shirt with cheetah print in black, white pants with a pink bow, and may have pink lining around the collar and sleeves of her shirt.

Police say Crew may be with Michelle Hemphill and Timothy Lee Smith.

CMPD said Hemphill is a “distant family member” of the victim, and Smith is her boyfriend. CMPD says the family believes Crew is in danger with Hemphill, who was reported to be currently homeless.

They were last seen on Monroe Road, just south of Rama Road. They’re believed to be in a blue minivan.

Woodshop, mechanical, and 4H classes should all be available. Not everyone can function 45 years in a cubical.

[The Real Mike Rowe @mikeroweworks]

I just visited a shop class in Great Falls, Montana where high school students are building houses for people who need a place to call home.

Let that sink in for a moment.

High schoolers in Great Falls Montana, under the guidance of an excellent shop instructor and lots of community support, are building actual houses. Not birdhouses or doll houses – real homes, built to code from the ground up for real people, and move-in ready.

Yesterday, I toured the latest home these kids are in the process of building. It’s the 48th such home built since 1998, through this remarkable program. While I was there, I ran into @GregForMontana. Like me, the Governor was blown away by what these kids were doing and took the time to talk to each one of them, thanking them for their hard work and congratulating them for what they’d accomplished. I was then invited to join the Governor on stage at Great Falls High, where I answered a few questions about mikeroweWORKS, talked about the many opportunities in the skilled trades, and discussed the ways we might be able to encourage more projects like this one, in Montana and beyond.

It's encouraging to see public/private partnerships done right. And really, it’s not that complicated; it just takes a few stubborn people in various organizations who won't take no for an answer. In this case, too many to name, but a quick shout out to Pete Pace, the shop teacher at the center of High School Homes, the administrators in the school district, the principal at Great Falls High, Sherrie Arey and her devoted crew at @neighborworks, the incredibly generous executives at @WellsFargo who offered another round of financial support, and a Governor with the good sense to push through the normal bureaucratic nonsense that kills programs like this. Bravo to all!

Mike
PS. This is the third time in two months I’ve seen a program like this in action. The first was in Western North Carolina, (Rebuilding the Hollars), the second was in New Orleans, (@uCCNOLA.) The projects all have one thing in common - a shop class with an exceptional instructor. Like I said, it takes support from every direction, but a high school shop class is always where it starts.

For years, I’ve argued that removing shop class from high schools was a mistake that would deny a whole generation of students’ critical exposure to a long list of essential careers and rob them of an opportunity to prepare for the all-important apprenticeships on which most skilled careers are built. Today, standing in the shop class at Great Falls, watching dozens of engaged students cutting, hammering, measuring, and fabricating, it occurred to me that I was wrong. Taking shop class out of high school was not merely a mistake - it was the single dumbest decision in the history of modern education. We didn't just rob a whole generation of students, we robbed ourselves, in a colossal, self-inflicted wound that's led directly to a host of unintended consequences - including the current shortages in every essential skilled trade.

Correcting it, should be at or near the top of every Governor’s agenda in every single state. Because tomorrow’s skilled workforce is currently in the 8th grade, and if we don’t meet these kids where they are - right now - with programs like this, we’re in for a world of hurt.

@AmericaPapaBear Yep. When your kid starts school they make you aware of a cut off time for early dismissal for reasons including safety. You sign papers stating you understand the rules.

This is horrific, these 3 Black thugs attacked this elderly White woman who was a widow that was her barbecue eating alone. This video speaks volumes about the racism in America.

@raphousetv2 So sad. It reminds me of this scripture-
A person’s spirit can endure sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit? Proverbs 18:14

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

@SoufParkMack @pancakewafflem I charged my daughter rent. $500 a month. It went into a savings account she had complete control over once she left for college.

@Raindropsmedia1 It’s ok to expect your kids to be helpful. It’s not ok to expect your kids to raise their siblings. Ever try studying while taking care of little kids? Especially since a work event after 5 is usually usually translates into a party.
