Holiday travel is being disrupted by severe winter weather. So far over nine-thousand flights have been delayed and more than 650 have been canceled according to Flight Aware. Boston Logan and New York LaGuardia are two of the hardest hit airports. Over eight million Americans are expected to fly domestically this holiday season.        President Trump says the U.S. is retaliating against ISIS with military strikes in Syria. The president posted on Truth Social the strikes are against the "murderous terrorists" responsible for the killing of three Americans in Syria last weekend. Two National Guardsmen from Iowa and a civilian interpreter were killed. There are reports the U.S. struck dozens of targets, using fighter jets, helicopters and artillery.        Newly-released Epstein files include multiple photos of former President Bill Clinton. One shows Clinton in a hot tub next to someone whose face has been redacted. Another shows the former president and Mick Jagger with a woman whose face has been blacked out. The photos were released without any background information, so it's not clear when or where they were taken.        President Trump isn't ruling out war with Venezuela. Trump made the comment in a phone interview with NBC News on Thursday. Earlier in the week, the President ordered a blockade of sanctioned oil tankers coming and going from the South American country. Trump didn't rule out seizing more oil tankers after the U.S. seized one recently near Venezuela. In the interview, Trump wouldn't say if ousting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is his ultimate goal but he added "he knows exactly what I want."        Officials have confirmed the suspect believed to have opened fire at Brown University also killed an MIT professor. Claudio Neves Valente was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Thursday in a New Hampshire storage unit. U.S. Attorney Leah Foley said at a news conference authorities had probable cause to charge the Portuguese national in the deaths of the two students at Brown and the MIT professor. The professor was shot Monday in his home outside Boston.        The College Football Playoff is kicking off this evening. Number eight Oklahoma is hosting number nine Alabama in a first round game at Memorial Stadium in Norman. The winner will take on number-one Indiana in the Rose Bowl on New Years Day. Elsewhere, Western Michigan throttled Kennesaw State 41-to-6 in the Myrtle Beach Bowl.
