News: Nielsen: Ad-supported content dominates TV viewing NFL sells NFL Media, including RedZone, to ESPN New Fox One streaming service to launch in August Other: How to Increase Storage on Google Chromecast With Google TV Howdy Subscription | Ad-Free Streaming | The Roku Channel Sony Crowned King of TVs for the Seventh Year Running at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout For the seventh consecutive year, Sony has claimed the title of “King of TVs” at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout, held at their Scarsdale, New York showroom. The winning model, the Sony Bravia 8 II OLED (K65XR80M2) $3000, emerged victorious in a fiercely competitive field of flagship OLED TVs from LG, Samsung, and Panasonic. This annual event, now in its 21st year, is a benchmark for videophiles, retailers, and manufacturers, offering a no-nonsense, side-by-side comparison of the best TVs on the market. The Value Electronics TV Shootout Founded in 2004 by Robert and Wendy Zohn, the Value Electronics TV Shootout has become well known for its rigorous and objective evaluation process. Each TV in the shootout is professionally calibrated and tested under identical conditions—same lighting, same content, and against professional-grade Sony BVM-HX3110 mastering monitors, which are the gold standard for video professionals. The TVs are judged on picture quality attributes like color accuracy, contrast, motion handling, and performance in both Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR). This year's competition was exclusively dedicated to OLED TVs, with no separate category for LCDs, reflecting the industry's shift toward OLED's superior black levels and color reproduction. The 2025 lineup featured four flagship 65-inch OLED models: Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED (K65XR80M2) $3000 Samsung S95F QD-OLED (QN65S95F) $3300 Panasonic Z95B WOLED (TV65Z95BP) $2000 US Model is Z95A LG G5 WOLED (OLED65G5WUA) $2900 A panel of ISF-certified judges, including display and film production professionals, evaluated the TVs using a mix of Blu-ray movie clips and specialized test patterns, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of their capabilities. Sony's Bravia 8 II QD-OLED won top honors for its exceptional SDR performance and consistency. Judges noted Sony's superior video processing, which delivered cleaner images and better upscaling than competitors. Kevin Miller, ISFTV president and display consultant, stated, “Sony's video processing is cleaner and handles upscaling better than Samsung's, despite both using the same quantum dot OLED panel.” This processing edge proved decisive. Panasonic's Z95B OLED marked its U.S. market return at the 2025 Shootout, narrowly winning the HDR category over Samsung's S95F by 0.01 points. Absent from the U.S. for years, Panasonic leveraged the event to showcase its OLED lineup, previously limited to Europe and Asia. Alex Fried, Panasonic's director of business development, emphasized the brand's renowned picture quality, saying, “It was great to be back in the shootout, reflecting Panasonic's legacy of top-tier performance.” Samsung's S95F QD-OLED came in a close second overall, splitting HDR category wins with Panasonic and performing strongly across the board. Its quantum dot OLED panel, shared with Sony, delivered impressive brightness and color volume, but it fell slightly short in SDR due to Sony's superior processing. LG's G5 WOLED, however, was a surprising disappointment, finishing last in both SDR and HDR categories. Despite LG's pioneering role in OLED technology and its use of RGB OLED panels from LG Display, the G5 struggled with color accuracy and EOTF (electro-optical transfer function) issues. Judge Chris Boylan, co-founder of Big Picture Big Sound, noted, “The LG was a little disappointing with some processing issues that lowered its overall scores in some categories. Some of these might actually be fixable with future software updates.” This outcome raised questions about LG's current standing in the OLED race, especially given its historical dominance in the category. Final Thoughts Sony's seventh straight “King of TVs” win at the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout reaffirms its position as a leader in premium display technology, driven by superior video processing and consistent performance. However, the tight competition—especially Panasonic's HDR upset and Samsung's close second—shows that the gap between top-tier OLEDs is narrower than ever. For consumers, this means more choices and exceptional quality across the board. Whether you're a videophile chasing the ultimate picture or a casual viewer seeking a top-tier TV, the 2025 Shootout proves that OLED is the technology to beat, and Sony's Bravia 8 II is currently leading the pack. Note - Hisense and TCL were invited to the 2025 Value Electronics TV Shootout but chose not to participate.

When my mom passed away recently, it came as a shock because she was so alive. At her wake, there were hardly any tears, but an overpowering sense of victory. The Apostle Paul said, “Absent from the body, present with the Lord.” We knew she was rejoicing in the Presence of her Saviour and surrounded by a company of saints. This whole episode has had me thinking about the common fate of mankind and what we need to do to prepare for it.

The sermon explores the often-overlooked reality of Christ's presence between his ascension and second coming, challenging the notion of absence despite scriptural passages suggesting otherwise. Drawing on passages from John, Colossians, and Romans, it reconciles apparent contradictions by emphasizing the indwelling of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—within believers, highlighting that Christ's promise to abide with his followers is fulfilled through the Spirit. Ultimately, the message underscores the profound significance of Christ's ongoing presence and encourages reliance on his character rather than fleeting feelings, affirming the reality of divine indwelling for all who have faith.
La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Lukita Ananda Putra dan Grace Larope from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar and Evelyn Lo and Christiana Lengkong from the Parish of Saint Therese in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Ecclesiastes 1: 2; 2: 21-23; Rs psalm 90: 3-4.5-6.12-13.14.17; Colossians 3: 1-5.9-11; Luke 12: 13-21.HOPE TO BECOME RICH The title for our meditation on this18th Sunday in ordinary timeis: Hope To Become Rich. Naturally people in the world tend to make things,their fellow human beings, and non-material things to be their possessions. Itnormal for humans to have tendency to become rich. This is an element inherentin the human person and family or group of people. Hoping to be rich in thisworld becomes a basic desire. There is a family that has a habit ofpraying together, especially at night before or after meal. Every one reminds oneanother for that special opportunity so that all can participate. When one ortwo family members are rather late due to work outside, those in the house arewilling to wait. For the one who is out of town, he or she will pray alone, sothat it will be the same as those at home. In essence, every family membermakes this prayer together as a quality time, a very valuable opportunity theytreasure. Absent means a loss for the person concerned. By taking advantage of this specialopportunity, that family truly enjoys the real wealth or richness every memberand the entire family can have. What we mean by wealth, richness orpossession, there are at least threeimportant elements we can reflect here. First is a sense of belonging to oneanother as a family. Here there is a family or home to be the first andfundamental element, therefore, people do not depend on the house, equipment,money and goods of this world. Every individual cares for each other and relateeach other so that they realize that none from them is excluded. Second, the sense of belonging issustained by the needs that unite every member to make a family. Notnecessarily people have a sense of belonging, create a strong binding amongthem and to be a very valuable home, if they do not strengthen their unity as afamily or community. The way to strengthen it is with regular meetings orencounters. Love and the need to complement each other will be stronger ifpeople regularly meet and interact. Third, a communion in and with God.Praying together, services and the priority for the glory of the kingdom of Godare the lifestyles of the followers of Christ. If Christians and followers ofChrist choose only the first two elements and are not complied with this third,they do not have the real wealth meant by God. We should hope for these richesto be our possessions: a sense of belonging as a neighbor, life in common aschildren of God, and the glory of God's kingdom. Don't make your life useless just because these threethings are ignored. Let's pray. In the name of theFather ... O God, bless us that this Sunday celebration will be a renewedrichness for our journey of faith, and to make You our fundamental wealth inlife. Hail Mary full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

Spencer discusses Psalm 88 and Paul leads us in communion. Spencer talks about the reality Psalm 88 seemingly has no resolution, but ends with darkness being the writer's only friend. Spencer talks about how the Psalm empathizes with the human experience where God feels absent while sorrow and darkness seem to fill our lives.But Spencer reminds us that while the writer expresses these emotions and feelings, he is still praying and still seeking God's life and blessing. God is still present, even though it seems like he is not, and faith continues to pursue God, even when despair seem to have overcome us.

We cannot wait until 2029 with a new Democrat president to somehow deal with political persecution when we have no tools in our arsenal. We must build for that today. Unfortunately, as Trump continues to make bad endorsements, we will be left with weak Republicans in red states to fight issues such as political weaponization. Moreover, we are not even changing things at the federal level. We're joined by former FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who is warning that the FBI has not structurally changed its modus operandi. He observes how problematic personnel under Biden have been given promotions, the open-ended investigatory mandate has not been limited, and at the same time, none of the misdeeds under Obama and Biden have been punished. Absent federal reform, Friend is advocating that state governments condition their working relationship with the FBI to a framework in which elected sheriffs are in charge of task forces targeting people locally. Friend also warns about the use of AI to turbocharge the very federal entrapment schemes that the FBI was using under Biden. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The 2025 Social Security Trustees Report is out and the news is bleak. This episode of the Power of Zero Show looks at the potential repercussions if nothing changes by 2033. If things don't improve, Social Security will face a cash flow deficit that triggers a 23% across-the-board benefit cut - and that's one year earlier than predicted. But that's not all… in fact, it gets far worse, says host David McKnight. The system is already $72.8 trillion in the red, an unfunded liability that's twice the size of the national debt and $10 trillion worse than 2024. This is by no means a temporary funding glitch, it's a permanent structural crisis. The first finding of the 2025 Social Security Trustees Report is that the Trust Fund goes insolvent a year earlier than anticipated in last year's report. And there's no wiggle room: Absent intervention on the part of Congress, benefits will drop automatically by 23% for all recipients. The next noteworthy aspect is the program's unfunded obligations, the present value of future benefits not covered by future taxes. That gap is a staggering $72.8 trillion, which is $10 trillion more compared to 2024. The cause for this $10 trillion jump? The removal of some pension offsets and benefit boosting by last year's Social Security Fairness Act… The final revelation of the report is that trustees chose to focus on the 75-year deficit and ignored the infinite horizon that is so relevant in a pay-as-you-go system. The main tool to try to change the status quo and fix the issue is either cutting benefits, raising taxes, or some combination of the two. David addresses all three scenarios. The first one revolves around Congress permanently okaying a 30% across-the-board cut starting today - alternatively, they could wait until 2033 and implement a 23% cut by default. The second scenario sees an increase of the Social Security's FICA payroll tax from 12.4% to 17.6%. Thirdly, a combination of smaller tax increases and moderate benefit cuts. David touches upon the possible consequences of not addressing these issues immediately. The 1983 Greenspan Commission only patched half of the long-term hole in Social Security, leading to the problem being 2.5 times bigger today and requiring even more aggressive solutions to create a permanent fix. David explains that, if you count all the government's off-the-book promises, Medicare, defense, debt service, the fiscal gap is around 7% of GDP. That translates to the country having a fiscal shortfall year in and year out of 7% of GDP FOREVER. How bad is the situation? "You'd have to fire every federal employee, cancel every NASA mission, basically shut everything down… and you still wouldn't plug in the hole in our long-term fiscal outlook," says David. David is very clear on what's needed: Major structural reform to healthcare entitlements, taxes and benefits. David shares two things to consider before you decide to draw your Social Security benefits early. A quote by Dr. Larry Kotlikoff highlights the fact that taking benefits early won't protect you from reduced benefits later, and that the reduction could indeed be less for those who waited in order to provide equity with those who collected early. David recommends saving as much as you can so that you can compensate for any future cuts to Social Security, as well as modeling multiple scenarios (drawing now vs. drawing later), keeping an eye on Congress and the news, and to focus on other risks your retirement may face - think longevity risk and tax rate risk, for instance. In conclusion: notwithstanding all that bad news from an actuarial standpoint, it still makes sense to push off Social Security just as long as you can.

A strong project kickoff strategy can make or break your software project. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit and expand upon their earlier episode, Mastering the Project Kickoff – Setting the Stage for Success. This time, they use AI not to redefine strategy, but to reflect on what worked, what's changed, and what new insights can improve how teams approach kickoffs today. The result is a deeper, more refined look at launching software projects with intention and clarity—before writing a single line of code. Why Your Project Kickoff Strategy Still Matters “Two weeks in, and no one agrees on the goal.” It's a story most developers know too well. The reason? A weak or nonexistent project kickoff strategy. Rob and Michael break down how early misalignment on goals, responsibilities, or MVPs can derail projects quickly. To avoid this, teams need a consistent, structured approach that starts before the first line of code is written. How AI Improves Your Project Kickoff Strategy AI can't replace a good team conversation, but it can support a better project kickoff strategy by helping structure discussions, define deliverables, and highlight gaps in planning. Some examples AI tools can generate: Stakeholder role outlines Risk assessment prompts Project objective statements Kickoff meeting checklists With good prompting, AI becomes a partner in better planning. Core Elements of a Strong Project Kickoff Strategy A repeatable project kickoff strategy should include the following: 1. Purpose and Objectives What are we building, and why? Define the business problem and expected outcome clearly. 2. Team Roles and Ownership List all stakeholders, assign responsibilities, and clarify decision-makers. Misunderstood roles create avoidable blockers. 3. Process and Delivery Plan Establish your delivery method (Agile, Scrum, Kanban) and how progress will be tracked, tested, and shared. 4. MVP and Scope Control Rob and Michael emphasize: everything must map to the MVP. If it doesn't, reconsider the feature. 5. Documentation and Visibility Centralize everything. Use Notion, Confluence, or shared drives, and record meetings for searchability and auditability. Warning Signs of a Poor Kickoff Strategy Michael and Rob call out red flags that reveal when your project kickoff strategy is weak or broken: No written MVP or goals Absent stakeholders during planning Overlapping roles with unclear boundaries “We'll figure it out later” mindset No documentation or decision logs Ignoring these signs leads to confusion, rework, and a breakdown in team trust. Anchor Your Kickoff Strategy with an MVP “If your feature doesn't pass a test, it's not part of your MVP.” Michael shares a practical tip: create user stories first, then turn them into pass/fail tests. This ensures that your project kickoff strategy stays laser-focused on outcomes—not distractions like UI polish or edge-case bells and whistles. Challenge: Audit Your Project Kickoff Strategy Before your next launch, hold a quick strategy review. Ask: Do we have a clearly defined MVP? Are team roles written and confirmed? Are meeting notes and decisions documented? Does every feature connect to project goals? If not, revise your strategy now—before you waste time.

Fishback, Founder and CEO of Azoria, a free-thinking investment firm“We have an anti-American subculture that cancels the science fair in favor of drag queen story hour, forces colleges to spend more time teaching micro-aggressions than microbiology, and teaches kids in America that Cardi B is a role model and Thomas Jefferson is a racist.”“Fishback will become a major Gen Z star in our pro-American movement.” — Vivek Ramaswamy, 2024 Presidential Candidate.“dropped out of Georgetown University to establish a hedge fund at 21 years old”Azoria partner Sol Ehrlich:“For my last day at Spectra, it's important that I share just how much this opportunity has meant to me. In June of 2023, I was a 28 year old mediocre Euro League baseball player with no job prospects outside of coaching. My only qualification to work in finance was my work ethic, which Brent Donnelly recognized when he met with me over Zoom and saw the litany of Post-It tabs I used to annotate his book”“It's with great excitement that I'll be taking this skillset to Azoria as a partner and its Head Trader- an opportunity I couldn't have imagined 18 months ago.”While the internet was introduced to James Fishback's talents this year, I've been aware of them since 2009 when we competed against each other in high school debate. (His meme game was A+ even then- I still remember him closing a speech on U.S. sanctions with 4 Russian leader puns.)”Me. Because somehow I'm connected to Fishback on linkedin.Greenlight Capital, for making James angry:In a lawsuit: “Greenlight Capital says James Fishback is a liar. The 29-year-old hedge fund manager and former employee, contrary to his own proclamations, was never “head of macro” at Greenlight, never had any “authority or discretion” over investments, and certainly wasn't responsible for an “insane” $100 million in profits as a mere research analyst. In fact, his contributions were so not “insane” that the hedge fund was about to fire him before he chose to leave of his own accord.”Greenlight's alleged former head of macro is hoping to get at least $5 million from David Einhorn, claiming age discrimination"Mr. Einhorn dismissively told Mr. Fishback that his compensation was 'a lot of money for a kid,'" the filing states, and Fishback argues the comment "demonstrates that Defendants' decision about Mr. Fishback's compensation was driven largely by his age — a protected characteristic."Tech founders call on Sequoia Capital to denounce VC Shaun Maguire's Mamdani commentsMaguire, an outspoken supporter of President Trump, posted on X over the weekend that Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani “comes from a culture that lies about everything.”WHO DO YOU BLAME?Shaun Maguire: “My whole life I've sought out people that I think are really talented but a little bit off the radar.”Shaun Maguire: “[E]ven more important to me is someone that's just irrationally motivated. For whatever reason, it's their life mission to try to revolutionize the industry they're going after.”Shaun Maguire: “Should I go public with the story about the time I was told I can't be promoted for being a white man?

Nelda's background is in hydraulics and metals with a degree in mechanical engineering, so she's probably too “nerdy” for rap anywayChristine Duffy, the head of Carnival Cruises, whose prior role was President of the Cruise Lines International Association which put out a report in 2008 showing that 93% of cruise passengers were white, and in 2025 said that 1 in 4 passengers came from either Texas or Florida.

Absent an affirmative, godly political movement, we are headed down a dark path. Today, I explain how the hyper-conspiratorial online Right breaks the brains of people and, mixed with the grift motive, is acculturating a new generation into reactionary desperation. I tie together the theories behind Epstein and the Trump assassination attempt and how these same people who simped for Trump are now confronted with their own man going to the other end of the spectrum on some of their theories. Meanwhile, at the policy level, we continue suffering so many left-wing policies, often with the support of Trump, but there is no movement or strategy to counter it. This is creating a degenerative spiral in which the more the failure theater perpetuates leftist policy, economic, and cultural successes, the more desperate and conspiratorial the right becomes. I shudder to think we are headed for a “European Right” dynamic in which we get the governance of Mitch McConnell with the subculture of neo-Nazis. Learn more about your ad choices.

God is never named in the book of Esther — and yet He is all over it. Esther becomes queen through a series of unlikely events. God's hidden work through the ordinary, even in secular settings. God's grace is not always spectacular but always present — especially in weakness and mystery. Esther 2:5–11, 15–18 (ESV)Now there was a Jew in Susa the citadel whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjaminite, who had been carried away from Jerusalem among the captives carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away. He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his uncle, for she had neither father nor mother. The young woman had a beautiful figure and was lovely to look at, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter. So when the king's order and his edict were proclaimed, and when many young women were gathered in Susa the citadel in custody of Hegai, Esther also was taken into the king's palace and put in custody of Hegai, who had charge of the women. And the young woman pleased him and won his favor. And he quickly provided her with her cosmetics and her portion of food, and with seven chosen young women from the king's palace, and advanced her and her young women to the best place in the harem. Esther had not made known her people or kindred, for Mordecai had commanded her not to make it known. And every day Mordecai walked in front of the court of the harem to learn how Esther was and what was happening to her.When the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his own daughter, to go in to the king, she asked for nothing except what Hegai the king's eunuch, who had charge of the women, advised. Now Esther was winning favor in the eyes of all who saw her. And when Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign, the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she won grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. Then the king gave a great feast for all his officials and servants; it was Esther's feast. He also granted a remission of taxes to the provinces and gave gifts with royal generosity.John 6:25–34 (ESV)When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'” Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
On this cosmic Fourth of July, we salute an Emperor—not of fireworks and flags, but of feelings and frequency. Today's collective pulls the Emperor card, and baby, he's deep in his spirit bag. This isn't just a man in love—it's a man on a mission. He's spiritually strapped and ready to protect the one he adores. But here's the kicker: her energy? Silent. Absent. Not even a ping from the ethers. Is she unaware, emotionally distant, or just… hiding in plain sight? This reading is about divine masculine love that doesn't just watch over you—it watches over your soul. Tune in if you've ever felt like someone's got your back on a realm you can't even see. #DailyCollectiveReading #EmperorEnergy #DivineMasculine #SpiritualProtector #ClairLovevoyance #TarotDownload #EnergyUpdate #SpiritLove #SeerineTarotFM #SeerineTarot #HeFeelSheSilent #InvisibleConnection #SpiritualLoveStoryBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/seerine-tarot--5349584/support.

Dominique and I spent a very hot June afternoon recording this three part conversation. In the previous episode we talked about the weather because when it's over a hundred degrees, it's hard to think about anything else. We shared what we do to keep our horses comfortable in this extreme heat. We also talked about neck ropes. I described what you can use them for and how you introduce neck ropes to your horse. We ended with the neck rope evolving into a trailer loading lesson and then into ground driving. At the start of this lesson Dominique is asking about the difference between handlers who are absent versus handlers who are light. This leads to a discussion of riding on a release versus riding on contact. We talk about the difference between describing what an experienced riding is doing to influence her horse versus describing the process that got her to the result you're admiring. We also talk about mounting blocks and how to teach your horse to line himself up next to the mounting block.

As we enter the second half of Blackest History Month 2025, we reflect on themes of power, influence, culture, and resistance, particularly within the context of Black thought, history, and contemporary developments in the US and global social structures. The contrast between figures like Kendrick Lamar (highlighted during the Super Bowl) and Donald Trump illustrates how power often intersects with whiteness, capitalism, and entertainment to shape public consciousness. This is especially evident in major advertising events like the Super Bowl, where creating a cultural moment and capturing attention become paramount. Meanwhile, the increasing channeling of public resources into promoting visions of white supremacy and hypercapitalism has intensified to the point of impunity, daring the rest of us to resist it.Martin Kilson's observation about shifts in African American intellectual and creative circles from pursuing power to emphasizing and commoditizing culture provides a lens through which we can examine intersections of cultural meaning-making and struggle. What happens when contemporary power dynamics—particularly regarding white nationalism and the redirection of both public and private resources—reduce Black Power to mere cultural posturing? Absent the deliberate connection of Movement and Memory to strengthening Africana Governance formations, can cultural influence contribute meaningfully to organizing, resisting, and building for the long term? Or is “playing the great American game” a never-ending cycle of diminishing returns?JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

G-7: ABSENT RUSSIA AND CHINA. REBECCA GRANT AND GORDON CHANG 1791 WHIPPING CATHERINE II
A Close Look At The Evidence Karen Read CAN'T Explain DESCRIPTION: THE SMOKING GUN: Former prosecutor Eric Faddis zeros in on the evidence that Karen Read and her million-dollar defense team simply cannot explain away. While they throw around physics theories and frame-up fantasies, these concrete facts remain unchanged and unexplained. Eric's prosecutorial analysis focuses on: The taillight debris field that perfectly matches the point of impact O'Keefe's DNA embedded in the damaged portion of Read's bumper Her Google search "hos long to die in cold" (yes, she misspelled it while drunk) The victim's hair tangled in the rear quarter panel Multiple witness statements of Read saying "I hit him" Cell tower data placing her at the scene during the killing The victim's injuries consistent with vehicular strike and road rash Read's changing stories about the taillight damage Missing footage from Read's Ring camera during crucial hours Her failure to render aid or call 911 upon "discovering" the body Each piece of evidence is examined with prosecutorial precision. Eric explains how defense teams try to complicate simple evidence with expert testimony, but can't change physical facts. DNA doesn't lie. Google searches are timestamped. Witness statements were given before any alleged conspiracy. Most revealing: Eric discusses what evidence is conspicuously ABSENT from the defense case. No alternative DNA. No evidence of O'Keefe inside the house. No blood where their theory requires it. When your defense is all about what's missing rather than what's present, you're in trouble. This isn't about theories or possibilities - it's about evidence that points to only one conclusion: Karen Read killed John O'Keefe. #EvidenceAnalysis #KarenReadTrial #DNADoesntLie #EricFaddis #ProsecutorInsight #PhysicalEvidence #TaillightProof #GoogleSearchGuilty #TrueCrimeEvidence #FactsNotFiction Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
