PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — Ira “Ike” Schab, a 104-year-old
Pearl Harbor attack survivor, spent six weeks in physical therapy
to build the strength to stand and salute during a remembrance ceremony honoring those killed in the Japanese bombing that
thrust the U.S. into World War II some 83 years ago.

On Saturday, Schab gingerly rose from his wheelchair and raised
his right hand, returning a salute delivered by sailors standing
on a destroyer and a submarine passing by in the harbor.

“He’s been working hard because this is his goal,” said his
daughter, Kimberlee Heinrichs, who traveled to Hawaii with
Schab from their Beaverton, Oregon, home so they could
attend the ceremony. “He wanted to be able to stand for that.”

Cyber Monday is a marketing term for e-commerce transactions
on the Monday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It was
created by retailers to encourage people to shop online.

The term was coined by Ellen Davis of the National Retail
Federation and Scott Silverman, and made its debut on
November 28, 2005, in a Shop.org press release entitled
"Cyber Monday Quickly Becoming One of the Biggest
Online Shopping Days of the Year.

Biden pardons son Hunter Biden ahead of exit
from Oval Office.

President Biden previously said he would not pardon his son.

(TNND) —  Hunter Biden, was facing possible prison time for
federal felony gun and tax convictions.

The decision, which reverses Biden’s past promises not to use
the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his
family members, comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to
receive his punishment after his trial conviction in the gun case
and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump
is set to return to the White House.
