The National Guard is deploying in Albuquerque, aiming to help tackle the city's crime problem by freeing up more police officers. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham declared an emergency through an Executive Order in April, after receiving a letter from Albuquerque's Police Chief, who requested additional resources to combat what he described as a crime problem that "continues to be an emergency" in the city. APD says integrating Guardsmen and women will allow officers to be more present in high-crime areas, particularly along Central Avenue. But how will this work? What will the National Guard be doing or not doing? Maj. Gen. Miguel Aguilar, the Adjutant General overseeing New Mexico's National Guard, joins Chris and Gabby to explain everything you need to know.  Thanks for listening.

In this episode of What Makes You Wonderful, we talk with Erin Noon from Charleston Area Alliance to discuss the upcoming Elevations luncheon. This event highlights the achievements and stories of women leaders in the military. The luncheon is slated Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Embassy Suites in Charleston and offers an inspiring lineup of speakers and provides attendees with a chance to connect and network. Erin also shares how Charleston Area Alliance supports the local business community and the resources available.  For more information you can go to their website: https://charlestonareaalliance.org/ Text Version Tiffney It's time for the What Makes You Wonderful podcast! Hey there everyone! I'm your host, Tiffney Lopez, and this is where we talk about what makes Almost Heaven amazing. Be sure to check out the hashtag WMYW to find all the cool things that we talk about right here on the podcast. Today, we're going to talk about an event called Elevations. It's November 13th at Embassy Suites in Charleston, and I'd like to introduce all of you to Erin Noon. She's the Communications and Events Coordinator at Charleston Area Alliance. Erin, thank you so much for being here. Erin Tiffney, thank you so much for having me. I'm really, really excited to be here today Tiffney  And I'm excited for what we're getting ready to talk about. It's this Elevations luncheon. This is pretty exciting. Erin Absolutely. Elevations is a series that we do periodically throughout the year, usually quarterly, and it features female speakers and unites Charleston's professionals, both women and men, to learn and be inspired by the journeys, challenges, and accomplishments of strong female leaders and role models. So this upcoming one is, like you said, November 13th, and it's going to be at Embassy Suites, and we're going to actually feature four women who are in the military—two who are currently serving and two who have served and have since gotten out of the military. They are Brigadier General Michaelle Munger. She's the Special Assistant to the Adjutant General of West Virginia, Major Caroline Muriama, and she's the West Virginia National Guard Recruiting and Retention Battalion Commander. And then we have Lee Ann Haley, who was a former Army captain, and Mara Boggs , who is a former Army major and very distinguished. Inspiring women who I think will share some really cool stories and insights from their time in the military. Tiffney  What do events like this provide for people when they come and they hear these speakers? What do you see happening by the end of it? Erin I think it really inspires those who are in the room, and it gives them an opportunity to relate to maybe something that they've been through or take away a message of resilience and perseverance. And it gives women—and men alike—an opportunity to network with one another and see what everybody's going through and what they have going on in their personal lives and professional lives. It's a really good way to connect with someone and take something away from it, whether it's, you know, you're inspired by their story or something that they've done in the past. Just taking away something with you is really the goal. Tiffney  Like you said, this isn't the only event you have. But for those who don't know, Charleston Area Alliance is a way that you guys bring businesses together, right? Explain to me how that works. Erin We're a very unique organization. We bring all of our county's community and economic development communities together, and then we're also a traditional Chamber of Commerce. We're all under one roof. We were built on a legacy of three different organizations that came together back in 2004. We're on our 20th anniversary and we really try to bring the business community together and have them have an alliance with one another. Tiffney  What's your favorite part about whether it's events like this or being part of that larger networking? What's your favorite part about doing all this? Erin I think just being out in the community, you know, meeting different people, seeing what they're going through, and learning about, you know, economic and community development. It's not something that I was familiar with when I took this role. And I think learning about the different challenges that the business community faces, whether it's a large corporation or a small, small little business that started from the ground up. They all do share common, you know, goals and struggles alike. So it's been really fun just to get out there and learn about the business community. Tiffney  And you guys have those resources to help each business. So my next question is whether somebody is interested in this event that's happening November 13th or they're just interested in the Charleston Area Alliance. Where can they go for more information? Erin I would say the easiest way to check us out would be to go to CharlestonAreaAlliance.org. We have all of our information on there, stuff that we've done in the past, stuff that we're currently doing. We have a community calendar of events like Elevations and other things that we have going on, or stuff that our members post on there. So that's probably the easiest way to check us out or just call (304) 340-4253 and ask for any of our staff members. We're a small but mighty team, and we're willing to help out in any capacity that we can. Tiffney I like it, "small but mighty." Just like West Virginia.  Erin You're right!  Tiffney  Erin, thank you so much for being here today. And thank you for telling us what makes you wonderful. Erin Thanks for having me, Tiffney. I had fun. What Makes You Wonderful is a feature of the daily304, your window into wonderful Almost Heaven, West Virginia.

An in-depth interview with Adutant General Gent Welsh, who leads the Washington National Guard, Military Department and Emergency Management Division.

Dave Whamond, Canada, PoliticalCartoons.com On our political radar this week: This week's guest: General William Enyart. Before his election to Congress,  Enyart was Adjutant General of the Illinois National Guard. General Enyart served 43 years in the Air Force and National Guard. Donald Trump's increasingly bizarre behavior peaked at a bizarre campaign town hall in which he only answered 4 questions and then spent 39 minutes playing D.J. and doing his Fred Astaire impression.  Trump has demanded that Kamala Harris be tested for mental acuity – a clear case of projection, with growing calls that Trump get tested as he shows signs of advancing dementia. Kamala Harris got another presidential debate on Fox News, but with alleged journalist Bret Baier substituting for Donald Trump. Trump continued to hide from any media that might ask him a tough question, limiting his interviews to friends and allies … a.k.a. The Sean Hannity Fan Club Dozens of leaders of America's national security system are warning that Trump poses a massive security risk. We'll be joined by two of them: former Democratic congressman General William Enyart, and former Republican congressman Christopher Shays. The already heated race for U.S. Senator from Michigan is getting more heated. Elissa Slotkin continues to hold a narrow lead over Mike Rogers who continues to take blows over his residency, the January 6 insurrection, his changing views on abortion rights and his call to pull a half-billion in federal funding for a job-creating GM plant renovation in Lansing The Trump campaign is running targeted ads saying Kamala Harris is totally pro-Israel and totally pro-Palestine. A Trump Super Pac funded mailer makes a total lie: that Medicare had been canceled —along with a scrawled add-on in cursive: “I hope you can afford to lose your insurance! — Kamala Harris XOXO.” Keeping our democratic republic had some major victories in court this week in both Alabama and, more significantly, in Georgia.  Marlinga plots a comeback against James - Punchbowl News Will EVs mean fewer auto jobs? - Detroit News $$ Elon Musk and other billionaires invest staggering sums into electing Trump, plus other takeaways from third-quarter filings - CNN Politics  National Security Leaders for America leads a bipartisan collection of 741 former senior national security leaders supporting Kamala Harris. The organization includes 230 general and flag officers including 15 retired four-star generals and admirals, 10 cabinet secretaries, 10 service secretaries, and 148 ambassadors. They view Donald Trump as an existential threat to our national security. We are joined by two of those leaders, both former members of Congress. =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management Anne Telnaes, Washington Post

Welcome to Supreme Court Opinions. In this episode, you'll hear the Court's opinion in Ohio Adjutant General's Department v Federal Labor Relations Authority. In this case, the court considered this issue: Does the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 empower the Federal Labor Relations Authority to regulate the labor practices of state militias? The case was decided on May 18, 2023.  The Supreme Court held that The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) had jurisdiction over this labor dispute because the state militia was acting as a federal agency when it hired and supervised dual-status technicians serving in their civilian roles. Justice Clarence Thomas authored the 7-2 majority opinion of the Court. Under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (FSLMRS), the FLRA has jurisdiction only over labor organizations and federal agencies. The FSLMRS defines “agency” to include the Department of Defense. Dual-status technicians are defined by statute to be employees of the Department of the Air Force or Department of the Army—both of which are components of the Department of Defense and thus plainly within the jurisdiction of the FLRA. By hiring and supervising these employees, the Ohio National Guard and its Adjutant General were acting as a federal agency. Justice Samuel Alito filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justice Neil Gorsuch joined, arguing that while the Guard may act as a federal agency, exercise the authority of such an agency, and function as an agency, is not actually an agency and thus is outside the jurisdiction of the FLRA. The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted. If you appreciate this episode, please subscribe.

The new center will have office areas, recipe design spaces and a test kitchen. Adjutant General for the State of West Virginia William Crane said the new funding will allow the National Guard to expand current entrepreneurial resources within the state's veteran community and beyond. The hub will find good company in Charleston, a city already home to multiple other small business incubators — like the University of Charleston Downtown Innovation Hub and the West Virginia Small Business Development Center.

The scenic footpath stretches from the Pennsylvania border to the Virginia border, connecting to the Appalachian Trail at Peter's Mountain in Monroe County. It's a great trek any year, but 2024 is special. That's because in September, the trail's primary stewardship organization, the West Virginia Scenic Trail Association, is turning 50, and the nonprofit is going all out to celebrate. Hikers who hit the trail this year will have their pick of events, group hikes, fitness challenges, and community trail-work days to choose from. Fall is the best time to visit, says trail hikers.

This is episode 170 and the sound you're hearing is the cheering and the flaming hot emotion because Sir Harry Smith is back in town! The town is Cape Town — Sir Harry won't hang around there for too long, he as you know from the previous episode, has returned to South Africa to take up his new position as Governor of the Cape. Sir Harry was the former civil commissioner of the de-annexed Province of Queen Adelaide in the Eastern Cape and in June 1840 he'd left Cape Town to take up a post as Adjutant-General in India. There is this incredibly long history of connection between India and South Africa, and people like Smith were part of that history. Others of course are people like Gandhi, but that's a story for further down the road. Smith was courageous, whatever other faults he may have had, and was involved in a sensational victory at the Battle of Aliwal in India on 28 January 1846 during the first Anglo-Sikh War. That victory led to a promotion to Major General, and he was offered an accepted a baronetcy. The British parliament formally thanked Smith, and then returned to England where the extremely bloated ego he'd developed over the past few decades was further fluffed up. While in England he'd spent a lot of time with the Duke of Wellington who'd defeated Napoleon, and with the Duke's support, he convinced the British government that the festering sore of the Eastern Cape of South Africa could be healed. This expensive disaster after disaster he said could be resolved quickly, and even more importantly, cheaply. When he returned to England in 1847, Harry Smith was treated like royalty, greeted at Southampton by artillery salutes, church bells rang, thousands of people cheered him, a special train was laid on to take him to London, where he received the freedom of the Guildhall. He dined with Queen Victoria, and was pretty much the first authentic military hero of the Victorian era. Waterloo was 30 years earlier, a long way off, and there'd been very little military glory since. Thus, Wellington whispered in the ears of the powerful, and that is how Harry Smith was appointed the new Governor of the Cape, strategically important but infuriatingly complex. All settlers agreed, the Queen had made a perfect appointment. As we're going to hear, this was going to be possibly her worst appointment anywhere up to then. All the hero worship was going straight to this little man's head. He was short, so by little I mean horizontally challenged. Doing the hard work of making sense of negotiations were the translators. These were men, black and white, who had a vast influence on our history. Smith said to Sandile that he should leave Grahamstown and go to his people, whereupon the translators claim Sandile said “No — I will stay today near you, my former and best friend…” Historians believe these exchanges were embroidered, altered, and added to the misunderstandings. Many of the translators were sons of missionaries, or settlers who'd grown up speaking amaXhosa fluently. But they fed Smith what he wanted to hear. The very same translators had been at work when Sandile was taken into Grahamstown to be placed under house arrest so you can see that their editorialising was having an effect on history.

There has also been a good relationship to help with the training of many of the military members in those countries.  General Bill Crane, head of the West Virginia National Guard, said it's an extremely important relationship to build with young and emerging democracies. “The Governor understands the importance of Africa. It is a very wealthy continent, three and a half times larger than the United States. They are full of natural resources and the United States absolutely wants to make sure the citizens of Africa get the benefit of those resources,” he said. Along with training for disaster preparedness and humanitarian relief, Crane said basic military techniques are also part of the plan. The idea is to develop allies as the democracies mature.
