On today's page, Menachot 45, we hear the spectacular story of Hananiah ben Hezekiah, the man who saved the Book of Ezekiel from being removed from the biblical canon. Hananiah famously holed himself up in an attic with 300 barrels of oil for illumination until he mastered the text. Guest Dr. Tevi Troy joins us to discuss this kind of scholarly obsession, drawing parallels to American presidents like Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, who went to extreme lengths to satisfy their own hunger for books. What does it mean to love a text so much that you'd risk everything to understand it? Listen and find out.

Les prochaines heures seront « décisives », s'exclame le Süddeutsche Zeitung à Munich : « Les États-Unis parviendront-ils à un accord avec l'Iran dans le différend concernant son programme nucléaire ? Ou bien Donald Trump ordonnera-t-il une attaque ? (…) Demain jeudi, précise le quotidien allemand, Abbas Araghchi, ministre iranien des Affaires étrangères, et Steve Witkoff, envoyé spécial du président américain, se rencontreront pour la troisième fois à Genève. Les discussions porteront sur la possibilité d'éviter une guerre. La question est de savoir si la partie iranienne présentera une proposition suffisamment conciliante pour que le président Trump s'abstienne de toute frappe militaire, du moins provisoirement. Parmi les questions en suspens, il y a le programme nucléaire iranien, mais aussi les missiles balistiques du régime et son soutien à des milices comme le Hezbollah libanais. » Signes avant-coureurs En effet, tout pourrait se jouer demain jeudi, relève L'Orient-Le Jour à Beyrouth. « Dans l'éventualité où ses émissaires reviendraient bredouilles des dernières négociations avec les Iraniens, Donald Trump pourrait lancer une opération limitée pour tenter d'obtenir plus de concessions, sur le nucléaire ou au-delà. Pression ou préparation, les rumeurs se multiplient en tout cas sur la possibilité d'une frappe imminente, affirme le quotidien libanais. Le Premier ministre israélien Benjamin Netanyahu a réuni lundi un Conseil de sécurité, indiquant que son pays traversait des temps “complexes et très difficiles“, tandis que les médias locaux faisaient état des préparatifs du système de santé national pour faire face à une guerre prolongée. Washington évacuait le même jour le personnel non essentiel de son ambassade à Beyrouth. » L'armada américaine Ce qui est sûr, c'est que les États-Unis ont considérablement renforcé leur présence militaire dans la région. Le Washington Post a fait les comptes : « Plus de 150 avions, avions de combat, avavionsargos et avions ravitailleurs, ont été déployés vers des bases en Europe et au Moyen-Orient depuis la semaine dernière, depuis la fin du deuxième cycle de négociations nucléaires entre les États-Unis et l'Iran, sans avancée significative. (…) Des dizaines d'autres appareils, note encore le Washington Post, sont stationnés sur le porte-avions Abraham Lincoln, positionné au large des côtes omanaises depuis début février, et sur le porte-avions Gerald Ford, qui croise actuellement au large de la Crète. Les deux navires sont accompagnés de destroyers lance-missiles qui transportent des dizaines de Tomahawks, les missiles que les forces américaines ont utilisé en juin dernier pour frapper des cibles nucléaires iraniennes. » Menaces et interrogations Alors, « l'ombre de la guerre pèse de nouveau sur le Moyen-Orient et, une nouvelle fois, les États-Unis en sont la cause », pointe Le Monde à Paris. « Donald Trump, qui avait fait irruption en politique il y a plus de dix ans, en partie en dénonçant l'aventurisme guerrier des administrations précédentes dans cette région, menace ouvertement l'Iran de frappes d'une ampleur bien supérieure à celle de la guerre de juin dernier, déclenchée par Israël et à laquelle Washington s'était joint. Le précédent vénézuélien a montré que la concentration actuelle de forces militaires américaines à la périphérie du Golfe, même sans moyens terrestres, doit être prise au sérieux. Elle vise un régime définitivement discrédité par son choix de noyer dans le sang, en janvier, la vague de colère qui a saisi les Iraniens face à l'effondrement de leur économie. » Toutefois, relève Le Monde, « les menaces américaines soulèvent de graves questions. Donald Trump évoque une guerre dont les objectifs restent pour l'instant indéfinis. S'agit-il de renforcer sa position en vue de nouvelles négociations, de détruire un programme nucléaire dont il assurait pourtant en juin qu'il avait été anéanti ? La cible est-elle le programme balistique développé par Téhéran, qui constitue une menace réelle pour l'ensemble des voisins de la République islamique ? Envisage-t-il un changement de régime (…) ? » Et il y a d'autres interrogations, souligne encore Le Monde : « Trump envisage une opération militaire d'une importance considérable, sans le moindre vote du Congrès, qui dispose seul du pouvoir de déclarer la guerre. De même, une telle attaque dépourvue d'un blanc-seing des Nations unies serait évidemment illégale du point de vue du droit international, aucune légitime défense ne pouvant être avancée par Washington pour la justifier. »

In ancient astrology, eclipses were viewed as omens of the death or downfall of prominent people. In this episode, I want to go over some examples from recent history and current news that demonstrate that this ancient observation is still true to this day. I recorded this on February 19, 2026, right as the big news hit that Prince Andrew was just arrested in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files, which happened only two days after a solar eclipse in Aquarius. We'll dive into what I define as "eclipse season," a roughly month-long period that starts about a week before the first eclipse and ends about a week after the second eclipse. During this time, it is incredibly common to see prominent or political figures suffering some sort of public downfall. We are going to walk through several recent examples of this, from the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein in 2019, to the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto company FTX, to the raid on Sean "Diddy" Combs' mansions. We will also look at how this applies to major historical events, including the deaths of Princess Diana and Pope John Paul I, as well as the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. But as we'll discuss, a downfall is not always permanent. Because an eclipse is a conjunction, it represents the closing of one cycle, but also the laying of the seeds or foundations for something completely new to grow. Since our current eclipse season is not over yet, I highly recommend paying attention to the new beginnings taking root in your own life right now, even if they do not seem that momentous yet.

The guys bounce from 19th-century presidential conspiracies to the grim reality of the New York Jets' quarterback carousel. After debating whether modern society would actually care if a massive Abraham Lincoln assassination cover-up dropped today (and taking a quick detour into the FCC's rules on cursing inspired by George Carlin), it's back to the gridiron. The crew brutally assesses Zach Wilson's extinct NFL future, comparing his trajectory to Sam Darnold's redemption arc, and debates where a newly released Geno Smith fits into the backup QB landscape. Finally, they highlight the biggest under-the-radar offseason priority in New York: why re-signing offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker is an absolute must, regardless of his injury history or projected $14 million market value.

In 2021, a fatal confrontation in Morgan County, Tennessee, left one man dead and another behind bars. But as the case wound through the legal system over the next four years, it became one of the strangest files in the state's history. The reason? The defendant repeatedly and adamantly claimed in open court that he was the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

There is no shortage of books chronicling the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln, one of the most revered leaders in our nation’s history. But for all that’s been written on our sixteenth president, surprisingly little has focused on his faith and how it shaped the man who led our country during its most tumultuous years—until now. We will revisit a conversation with the late historian and scholar Joe Wheeler, who will bring to light the story of Lincoln’s enduring faith.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the episode, host Clay Edwards reacts to the death of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson at age 84, expressing mixed views on his legacy while focusing on Jackson's criticisms of Donald Trump and his supporters. Edwards highlights several controversial statements from Jackson, including a 2017 response to the Charlottesville events where Jackson accused Trump's rhetoric of fueling "ignorance and hate and fear and violence" from the White House, linking the "Make America Great Again" slogan to "make America segregated again." He cites Jackson's 2016 accusation that Trump voters were "complicit in racism" for supporting a candidate who espoused anti-Semitic tropes, anti-Muslim policies, and anti-Mexican sentiments, stating, "You're on the team... the racist team." Edwards also references Jackson's 2018 claim that the Trump administration advocated "authoritarianism, not decency, and white supremacy, not multiculturalism," and a 2018 column where Jackson contrasted Trump with Abraham Lincoln, accusing him of railing against immigrants, embracing neo-Nazis, assailing the free press, and dismantling governance. Edwards notes Jackson's involvement in pushing LGBTQ issues late in life, which he sees as hijacking the Rainbow Coalition, and mentions Jackson's role in the Jeffrey Dahmer case as a positive contribution. On Trump, Edwards shares the president's Truth Social post calling Jackson a "good man" with "lots of personality, grit, and street smarts" who "truly loved people," while debating whether Trump should lower flags to half-mast—predicting he will for virtue-signaling but hoping he won't, given Jackson's attacks and Democratic double standards. Edwards argues Trump's flaw is appeasing critics who constantly move the goalposts on racism accusations, emphasizing that pleasing Democrats is futile.

President's Day is Monday, February 19th. We now celebrate all former presidents. We originally honored only George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, both whom had birthdays during the month of February, February 22nd and 12th, respectively. George Washington was the 1st and only president to be elected unanimously by the electoral college. He received all 69 of the votes. He was a first president with false teeth, and the first to appear on a postage stamp. He was our country's 1st president and was known as the father of our country. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican President and the first President to be assassinated. He was the first to support women's right to vote. There are four U.S. state capitals that are named after presidents. The president who have state capitals named after them are Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. Who is your hero president? Abraham Lincoln has been my presidential hero of faith since the days that I attended the one room country school. As I studied the lives of our presidents, it was Lincoln who became my hero president, a man of great faith, courage, and compassion, and a man of prayer. Who can forget that Gettysburg address of 286 words? Today, students and dignitaries still are able to recite that famous speech. His writings and speeches are often quoted to this day. Lincoln was a 16th president of the United States. Throughout the years, I have been inspired by his thoughts, which are biblical. He learned to read from the Bible. Something to remember…”You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.” Abraham Lincoln. It was in 1863 that Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer. Many churches throughout the land may observe a day of prayer on President's Day, at which time they pray for the leaders of our country. Praying for our nation and for our leaders is no new thought. Instead, it has been encouraged throughout the ages. C. H. Spurgeon stated, “Whenever God determines to do a great work, he first sets his people to pray.” Pray for the leaders of our nation.

In commemoration of Presidents' Day, our "Settle In" podcast asked a simple question: What would Abraham Lincoln do? Historian Matthew Pinsker uses this question as a framework to explore modern politics. He spoke with Geoff Bennett about that and his new book, "Boss Lincoln," which examines how Lincoln continues to shape our country today.

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, it’s fitting to reflect on the biblical perspective of leadership. Daniel 2:21 reminds us that God “changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Every president, past and present, serves under God’s sovereign hand. Recognizing their achievements, especially those guided by faith, is a way to honor God’s provision for our nation. Intersecting Faith & Life How can we honor God by recognizing the positive impact of leaders He places in office? In what ways can you personally pray for national leaders and their decisions? Reflect on moments in American history where prayer and faith intersected with leadership—how can this inspire your own spiritual practice? Do you want to listen ad-free?

He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” - Daniel 2:21 What does it take to be President of the United States of America? As our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we probably have a wide variety of thoughts and answers to this question. Still, throughout history, many men of various backgrounds, political leanings, religious beliefs, and stature have served as the President of the United States. Although we hold elections in the United States, we don’t want to ignore what Daniel explains: that God has a hand in who comes into leadership in our nation and that we really are not the ones in control. As we commemorate yet another President’s Day, it’s biblical to set time aside to honor the many men who have held the office, regardless of our political leanings. Being the President of the United States of America takes bravery and fortitude, as it comes with serious caution and risks to both the sitting president’s life and career. In Prayers and Presidents, author and historian William J. Federer presents statistics on the danger that being President holds: “Not every United States President left the White House on his own accord, with some dying in office and others murdered while serving. Four Presidents left office due to assassination, with the most famous and well-known account being that of the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, and the 35th President, John F. Kennedy. Along with them, lesser-recognized presidents were murdered while in office, including 20th President, James A. Garfield, and 25th President, William McKinley. As well, 40th President Ronald Reagan and soon-to-be re-elected Donald J. Trump survived assassination attempts on their lives. Reagan, while in office, and Trum,p while on the presidential campaign trail before taking office in his second nonconsecutive term as our 47th President at 78 years old.” Regardless of the risks, from the very beginning of our nation’s birth, prayer has been recognized and encouraged by many of our Presidents, including our very first President, George Washington, who carried a well-worn pocket-sized edition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Providence Forum executive director Dr. Jerry Newcombe describes how General Washington, during the Revolutionary War, felt the odds of winning were too great against us, so on July 4th, 1775—a year before independence—he sent the following order to his troops: “He requires and expects of all officers and soldiers, not engaged in actual duty, a punctual attendance on Divine service, to implore the blessing of Heaven upon the means used for our safety and defense.’" Some doubt God’s hand in America’s history and on America’s leaders. But Proverbs 21:1 reveals that, “In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that He channels toward all who please Him.” As well, Proverbs 8:15 reassures us that God has a hand in who reigns and rules on earth: “By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just.” God receives glory for directing ways presidents have honored Him, such as the 33rd President, Harry S. Truman, who initiated the National Day of Prayer as an annual observance in 1952, stating: “In times of national crisis when we are striving to strengthen the foundations of peace… we stand in special need of Divine support.” In April 1970, President Richard M. Nixon urged Americans to pray for the Apollo 13 astronauts who were in crisis. As well, after their safe return, he set aside Sunday, April 19, 1970, as a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving. President Ronald Reagan established the National Day of Prayer on May 5, 1988, to be commemorated each year on the first Thursday in May, saying: “Americans in every generation have turned to their Maker in prayer… We have acknowledged… our dependence on Almighty God.”Following the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina, our 43rd President, George W. Bush, declared Days of Prayer. Intersecting Faith & Life: We are honoring God when we honor His accomplishments achieved through the leaders He places into office as our presidents. By recognizing their godly accomplishments, we are expressing gratitude and glorifying God for His just decrees.

Both negative and positive examples are important in Scripture: bad guys are a warning, and good guys are a model. Kevin discusses his top five best and worst US presidents…the seven criteria for judging whether they were good or bad…the pattern to why righteous or unrighteous presidents appear at certain times…why Abraham Lincoln doesn't make either list…and which president was the worst in US history.

In this episode, I talk about my three favorite films regarding Abraham Lincoln to support "President's Day'.  They are from 1939 "Young, Mr. Lincoln, 140 Abe Lincoln in Illinois and from 2012 Lincoln.

Chris Hagenow and John Hendrickson kick off a Presidents' Day episode from the Hendrickson Library with a quick reset on the show's running trivia thread—last week's question on FDR's failed 1937 “court-packing” push—and a new prompt for listeners: who was Abraham Lincoln's political hero? They also trade a few studio-quality-of-life notes (and Chris's ongoing desire for better signage) before moving into the day's agenda.The conversation takes a detour into culture and Americana with news that Robert Duvall has passed away at age 95. John and Chris swap favorite Duvall roles and recommendations, landing on Open Range and Secondhand Lions as must-watches, with a few quick nods to The Godfather, MASH, Days of Thunder, and Gone in 60 Seconds.From there, they pivot into Iowa policy: the annual TIF (tax increment financing) report is out, and they walk through the basic mechanics of TIF—borrowing against projected future property-tax increments—while highlighting why the “free lunch” argument often collapses in practice. The top-line number that grabs attention: roughly $4.7B in TIF-related debt statewide, paired with concerns about permissive rules and the extent to which incentives become direct developer subsidies rather than targeted remediation or infrastructure.Finally, John previews his research on property-tax reform efforts nationwide, arguing Iowa isn't an outlier and that caps/limits are being explored even in places you wouldn't expect (often driven by education-cost pressure). They contrast true reform (reducing the growth of government costs so taxpayers actually pay less) with “shell game” approaches that simply swap one revenue source for another. The episode closes with a broader warning about high-tax states pursuing new levies (including wealth-tax proposals) and why Iowa's competitiveness hinges on resisting the spending trajectory that creates those shortfalls.0:00 Intro + Presidents' Day open1:44 Trivia recap + Lincoln question3:00 Robert Duvall segment5:29 TIF report reset + definition13:43 Property-tax caps spreading nationwide19:21 Why tax swaps fail without spending restraint22:15 “Seat at the table” + taxpayer focus29:28 States raising taxes + why it matters for Iowa32:34 Closing

NPR Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep talks about his new book on Abraham Lincoln and how he's preparing to cover a fraught year in American politics. 

As James Naughtie concludes his series about the ideas tying America's birth 250 years ago to the United States today, he examines freedom, asking whose freedom, and what kind?He begins in Gettysburg, attending a re-enactment on the battlefield made famous by an address from President Abraham Lincoln in which he asked whether the United States "could long endure". That question is being asked again now, as Americans experience profound disagreements over many of the ideas in this series - economic opportunity, justice, freedom; even what it means to be an American. As he hears, American history itself has become a battlefield. And so speaking to historians with different perspectives, and senior political leaders from both parties, James assesses how dangerous this moment is for United States.Producer: Giles Edwards

In the world of political commentary, especially for those of us who lean center-left, the modern Republican party often feels like an impenetrable monolith of rhetoric and “four-dimensional chess”. But every so often, a conversation comes along that forces you to tilt your head and look at the landscape from a different angle.I recently sat down for the fifth time with Michael Maxsenti, a man who has spent fifteen years in the political reform sector. Michael isn't your typical partisan hack; he's a veteran of the Common Sense and Forward parties who has reached a sobering conclusion: the only way to fix the system is to get inside the gates. Now, he's running for Congress as a Republican in a D+4 district, and his rationale is as provocative as it is unsettling for those of us comfortable in our ideological bubbles.The Myth of the Two-Party WarThe most striking part of our conversation was Michael's dismissal of the traditional Republican-versus-Democrat narrative. To him, the “duopoly” we see on the news is a convenient distraction designed to keep us from noticing the real struggle.“The real duopoly is the people, the populist, the people—eighty plus percent of Americans—against those global corporatist, those political economic elites who see themselves above our humanity.”This isn't just populist fire-breathing; it's a critique of a “closed-loop system” where corporate interests like Vanguard and BlackRock pull the strings regardless of who holds the gavel. Michael argues that both parties have “sold us out” over the last forty years, hollowing out the middle class and offshoring jobs for the sake of corporate margins.The “Art of the Deal” DefenseAs someone who grew up valuing integrity and “character matters” as a political slogan, I find it difficult to reconcile the current leadership of the GOP with those traditional values. I challenged Michael on the chaos and the apparent lack of precision in the current administration's implementation of policy—from tariffs on bananas to the “flamethrower” style of governance.His response was a common pattern I've seen in congressional Republicans in pragmatic reframing. He urged the audience to look past the abrasive style and view it as a series of tactical maneuvers.“What appears to be things that are opposite, opposed to... you've got to think of it in those broader terms of tacking into the winds, of navigating around those valleys and cliffs and stuff to get to your goal.”To Maxsenti, the tariffs aren't just economic tools; they are a strategic necessity to “rebuild our country” in an era where AI is stripping away swaths of traditional employment. It's a vision of “America First” that he traces back to the founding principles of Abraham Lincoln—the very principles he claims are buried in the modern party's DNA.Making America Healthy Again: A Radical Common Ground?Perhaps the most surprising area of alignment for a center-left audience is Maxsenti's focus on the “Make America Healthy Again” movement. He pointed out a sobering reality: Americans pay more than double what other developed nations pay for healthcare, yet we have lost six years of longevity compared to Europe over the last two decades.I critiqued the current system as a “fee-for-service” model that motivates providers to treat you only after you get sick. His solution? A radical overhaul of food standards and a focus on “healing” that transcends mere pharmaceutical intervention.“It's about healing, but on the medical level alone... taking away government dollars that is allowing people to, forcing people into poor choices. It's about freedom and it's about giving people healthier options.”While he supports Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s focus on chronic disease, Maxsenti wants to go further by codifying changes in pesticide laws and farming practices to ensure that the next administration can't simply “flip it back” because they've been bought off by lobbyists.Can an Independent Mind Survive the Machine?The central question for voters in his district—and for nerds like us watching from afar—is whether a man who claims to “only take a knee to God and our Constitution” can actually remain independent once he's inside the Congressional machine.Michael is running against Dave Min, whom he describes as a “prototypical career politician” who “rubber stamps every one of the democratic machine”. In a district where 30% of the voters are independents who left both parties out of dissatisfaction, Maxsenti is betting that his deep roots—as a business leader, coach of eighteen sports teams, and non-profit board member—will carry more weight than a party label.“We need people to go to congress who have proven credibility and skills to bring people together and create solutions to problems, who are not there to make a win; they're there to make a solution.”He admits that the execution of certain policies, like the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and ICE operations, has been “unfortunate” or “tragic” in its delivery. Yet, he remains committed to the core objective: a total system audit and a return to national sovereignty.Final ReflectionsWhether you find Michael's shift to the GOP a pragmatic necessity or a bridge too far, his perspective highlights the deep fractures in our political soul. He isn't offering the usual partisan comfort food. Instead, he's presenting a choice: continue the “downhill slide” of the last few decades, or take a gamble on an “insider-outsider” who believes the system can be reclaimed from the globalist elites.“At my age I'm obviously not going there to do anything other than help change the rules... so that we can have the long term results that the people can see and feel in their lives.”It's a sobering analysis for anyone who cares about the future of this republic. As we navigate the coming months, the question won't just be which party wins, but whether the people we send to Washington have the courage to stop “taking a knee” to anyone but the people they serve.If you enjoyed this deep dive and want to support the work we do here, please consider becoming a YouTube channel member.

Matthew 17:1-9 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became bright as light. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will set up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.” And when they raised their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” That's how Charles Dickens opens A Tale of Two Cities.It's also how comedian Anthony Griffith begins a story on The Moth about the season when his career was taking off and his daughter was dying. He had just moved his family to Los Angeles for stand-up. And almost immediately he got two phone calls.The first was from a talent coordinator offering him his first appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The moment he moved there for.The second was from his daughter's doctor telling him her leukemia had returned.It was the best of times.It was the worst of times.During the day, Anthony cared for his daughter — watching the heart monitor, giving her medication, driving back and forth for blood work and platelets.At night, he was in comedy clubs, working and reworking his set, trying to get it perfect for The Tonight Show.Finally the night came. He's backstage waiting to be introduced, thinking to himself, Don't screw this up. Don't screw this up. The curtain goes up. He is terrified. And for the next six minutes he doesn't even remember what he said — but he gets six applause breaks. He cooked, as the kids say.In the parking lot Johnny Carson tells him, “You're extremely funny. Start working on your second Tonight Show. I want you back.”It was the best of times.But by the time the official call came for that second appearance, his daughter had been admitted to the hospital.It was the worst of times.Peter, James, and John knew that rhythm too — the worst of times pressing in on the best. Because just six days earlier Jesus had told them that everything was about to fall apart. That he was going to Jerusalem to suffer and be killed. And that if they were going to follow him, their road would look the same.These were men who had already left their homes, their work, their security for him. And now the one they trusted most was talking about crosses and death. They had six long days of despair to sit with that.But on that sixth day, Jesus took Peter, James, and John up a mountain. And suddenly his appearance changes — his face shining, his clothes dazzling white. And he's not alone. Moses and Elijah are there — the heroes of their faith, the ones their parents told them stories about at bedtime. No wonder Peter blurts out, “Lord, it is good for us to be here.”Of course it is.This would be like us seeing Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Oprah standing together atop the Rockies. You'd want to set up camp and stay awhile.After six long, confusing days — here it is — a moment that makes sense of everything.Now they see who Jesus really is. Not just another teacher of the law. Not just another prophet pointing to the promises they made with God. But the one who is the fulfillment of both.It is the best of times. And Peter wants to hold on to it.While Peter is still talking, a cloud comes and covers the mountain. And a voice — “This is my Son, the Beloved… listen to him.” And just like that, the moment is over. The disciples fall to the ground, terrified.But Jesus comes to them. He touches them. “Get up. Do not be afraid.” Because it is time to go back down the mountain. Back to the valley. Back to the hard days he has already told them are coming.The best of times gives way to what they could only imagine would be the worst of times. This is not the mountain where the story ends: the cross and the empty tomb are still ahead.”That's how life is.You plan a wedding, get married — and then you find yourself signing divorce papers.You finally hold the baby you prayed for — and then you're walking through postpartum depression. Your loved one makes it through chemo and radiation and is declared cancer free — and six months later the cancer is back.The best of times. The worst of times. Over and over again.And just like Peter, James, and John, we too can faint — knocked down by the fear or sheer exhaustion of it all. The constant movement from the best of times to the worst of times, the interruptions that come whether we want them or not, can bring us to our knees.And that is exactly where the disciples are in this story. But when they look up, the only person standing there is Jesus. That's what our text tells us: “When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself.”Jesus himself, ready to go back into the valley with them.Jesus himself, ready to face the difficult days with them.Jesus himself, who is with his disciples — then and now — at every moment of the journey.And we see exactly this in Anthony's life.By the time he appeared on The Tonight Show for the third time, Brittany had died — not yet three years old. For ten years, Anthony says, he and his wife walked around like zombies, shells of who they once were. It was their church community that endured those dark days with them. Someone eventually suggested that Anthony teach Sunday School. He knew it wouldn't bring Brittany back, but not long after he said he began to feel her presence more powerfully than ever.About that same time, The Moth called and asked him to tell a story. He knew which one it had to be.In the memoir he wrote with his wife, Anthony says, “Life is cruel sometimes, and it's okay to have whatever emotion you have when you lose someone you love. If you want to cry, if you want to get mad, if you want to shout out — God's shoulders are big enough. It's okay. God still has you.”I hope and pray that we are that kind of extraordinary community: gathered by Jesus, helping one another endure the dark days we all will face, and catching small mountaintop glimpses of his glory along the way.That this place is one where, whether you are in the best of times or the worst of times, you find yourself saying, “It is good for us to be here. It is good for me to be here” Because I believe it is.When we get it right, we walk with one another through a whole life: from the first promises spoken at baptism, to weddings and graduations, to hospital rooms and funeral homes, and everything in between.Above all, rest in this truth and promise: when we leave this place and come down from this mountain, or any other, all that is left for us, for you, is Jesus himself.Jesus himself, coming to us and raising us up, again and again, never leaving us to face the perils and the joys of this life alone.Amen.

Jeff & Shannon rip open the DOJ Epstein files dump, global resignations, Bannon ties, Pam Bondi tracking Congress, and why the depravity is darker than anyone thought. Hour 2 (Rumble Premium only) follows the bloodlines—Collins family, John Todd audio, Illuminati genetics obsession, and “M = Maria Abramovic?” Common sense is winning. Why we fight—tune in now!     Patriots, gear up for the takedown—Season 8 Episode 030 “DOJ Epstein Files Dump Draining Global Swamp; Part 6: Follow the Bloodlines” unleashes a double-barreled truth bomb on Abraham Lincoln's 217th birthday, February 12, 2026! @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove kick off with a straight-from-the-heart “why we fight” message from both hosts as the unfiltered dynamos exposing elite lies.   HOUR 1 – Public Fire The DOJ Epstein files mega-dump is exploding worldwide. Jeff and Shady lay out the avalanche: Data Set 12 victim journals naming the real players (Leon Black, Steve Case, and more), the wave of resignations hitting banks, law firms, governments, and diplomats across the globe, and the networks working overtime to silence everything. They expose Steve Bannon's alleged role as Epstein's “top PR guy,” foreign money trails into his media empire, and Attorney General Pam Bondi dropping bombshells about tracking congressional members' searches in the files—causing full-blown panic on Capitol Hill. The depravity is darker than thought, but common sense is winning and the truth is bad enough on its own.   HOUR 2 – Rumble Premium Exclusive The bloodlines deep dive goes nuclear.

It is a most striking thing how personal and national suffering drew Abraham Lincoln into the reality of God, rather than pushing him away.

Pr. Timothy Good, author, “Lincoln For President” The post The Religious Beliefs and Practices of Abraham Lincoln – Pr. Timothy Good, 2/12/25 (0433) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Jeff & Shannon celebrate Jeff's birthday (shared with Lincoln's 217th), shred Dataset 12's coded journals exposing a teenage victim's nightmare as a human incubator in Epstein's depraved breeding program, connect Bannon's Epstein ties, and call out elite protection rackets. Tune in at Rumble, YouTube, X and Red State Talk Radio! Patriots, hold on tight—this episode packs a patriotic punch from start to finish in **Season 8, Episode 029, "The Coded Journals in the Epstein Files That Hide a Teenage Girl's Horrific Story"**! @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove kick things off with a massive surprise birthday bash for Jeff (@intheMatrixxx), who shares the date with Abraham Lincoln's 217th birthday. Custom songs from Mikey Mariano, AARP memes, viewer Rumble rants, gift subs, and even a special "Happy birthday, Jeffrey, you're a true patriot" text straight from President Trump set the high-energy tone. Jeff reflects on his premature birth in the Land of Lincoln, breech at 5.7 ounces, and growing up with the Emancipation Proclamation on the wall—perfect backdrop for honoring the man who kept America from being torn apart by globalist bankers. Then the show dives straight into the gut-wrenching core: **Dataset 12** from the justice.gov/Epstein files, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. These are the raw, coded journals of a teenage victim starting at age 16—magazine cutouts, glued birthday cards for her 16th, sonograms, Sylvia Plath poems with underlined lines, and vertically readable handwritten codes documenting years of sexual slavery, repeated forced pregnancies, and babies ripped away minutes after birth, sometimes with Ghislaine Maxwell in the room ordering her to "close your eyes." She names the monsters: Leon Black (violent rapes), George Mitchell, Ted Leonsis, Steve Case, James Kimsey, John Colgan, "The Gregorys," and more from the flights and yachts of horror. The victim describes being used as a "human incubator" for a so-called superior gene pool—Epstein's eugenics obsession tied to hair color, eye color, musical talent—feeling "very Nazi-like" in her own words. This isn't speculation; it's her documented trauma, provable in court, exposing a systematic breeding program the mainstream media blackouts while obsessing over distractions. Jeff and Shannon connect the dots they've been targeted for years over: genetics, bloodlines, MKUltra-style programming, hot/cold treatment, compartmentalized minds, and the "born in" pattern from historical operations like Paperclip. They contrast this hard evidence against Pizzagate-style noise, slam the two-tiered justice system protecting elites, and spotlight networks working overtime to silence the truth—including deep ties like Steve Bannon borrowing Epstein's plane (not friendship, but partnership and cohorts), his silence on the files, and contradictions to his public MAGA persona. They also break down the Super Bowl LIX Bad Bunny halftime viewership crash (nearly 20% drops in markets like Boston and Seattle), elite disconnect, virtue-signaling rage bait, and the NFL's shame—plus a quick hat tip to Pam Bondi's congressional "Anons" gesture on Brennan indictments. After 8 years of fighting censorship, deplatforming, and attacks for exposing bloodline control and child protection, the message is clear: enough is enough. The truth is learned, never told.

Facts about Abraham Lincoln you might know

Some mornings you wake up ready to talk about the Super Bowl… and somehow end up debating porta potties, AI surveillance, toddlers inside claw machines, and whether humanity has officially peaked. Welcome to The Rizzuto Show — a funny podcast where nothing stays on track and no topic is safe.We kick things off breaking down the most talked-about Super Bowl commercials, including which ads actually worked, which ones tried way too hard, and why AI finding lost dogs might also be the beginning of the end. Is it heartwarming? Sure. Is it creepy? Absolutely. And we argue about it like only a morning show can.From there, things spiral quickly. Neighborhood construction hits a new level when porta potties appear like ominous lawn decorations. Rafe shares home improvement stress that feels a little too relatable. And then we discover a new “sport” from Australia where two grown adults sprint directly into each other at full speed. No ball. No goal. Just vibes and concussions.This funny podcast also dives into local chaos, including a toddler who somehow climbed into a claw machine and treated it like a personal toy kingdom while adults panicked. There's flannel talk. Sweatpants debates. Historical figures reimagined in athleisure. And plenty of sarcasm aimed directly at ourselves.If you're looking for a funny podcast that blends pop culture, weird news, local stories, and completely unnecessary arguments — congratulations. You found it. This is The Rizzuto Show, and this episode is exactly as unhinged as it sounds.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Footage of sickening hits goes viral, slammed as ‘dumbest sport': ‘Should be banned'National Flannel Day is on February 10Toddler climbs into claw machine at Soccerdome in Webster GrovesAccused cat puncher charged with animal abuseParamedic faces charges after allegedly urinating on supervisor's desk, in pot of chili at workGainesville man arrested after argument with teens at McDonaldsBeware of ‘Red Tuesday,' the most common day of the year for break-ups: Here's why you might get dumped todayDHS warns of increasing trend in domestic partner poisoningsThe Cost of a Dozen Roses in Each StateSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
