    10/31/25 - Polls Don't Lie: Republicans on the Rise Amid Shutdown

    On Friday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. It's chilling that anti-American Senate Democrats voted against pay for military and essential workers amid the 31-day government shutdown. These Democrats are making them political pawns. President ​Trump ​is doing what he can - he ​ordered ​​all ​available ​funds ​to ​be ​identified ​and ​allocated ​to ​cover ​the ​$5.3 ​billion ​​payday. The average American hasn't felt this shutdown and Republican polling has surged during it. This ​is ​the ​second ​longest shutdown, ​closing ​in ​on ​those ​35 ​days ​of ​the ​longest ​that ​we ​had ​back ​in ​2019 ​during ​Trump's ​first ​term. ​You ​don't ​even ​remember ​that and 2019 was a great year. Later, two federal judges expect the Trump administration wave a magic wand and come up with money to pay SNAP, which expires Saturday. It's also chilling that Jack Smith weaponized the DOJ by issuing 197 subpoenas to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, targeting records of over 430 Republicans and entities creating an "enemies list.” This government overreach against political opposition is unsurprising after the Trump-Russia hoax and impeachments. Afterward, in the past 31 days, Trump has neutralized nearly a third of drug-running boats entering the US, secured $5 billion in tariffs and most-favored-nation status, negotiated AstraZeneca's prescription drug pricing to save Americans over $15 billion annually while attracting $50 billion in domestic R&D investments, finalized a Chinese trade deal ending the US soybean embargo and promising a fentanyl crackdown, and lifted the estimated economic growth rate to 3.9% per the Atlanta Fed GDP tracker.

    pWotD Episode 3104: Prince Andrew Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 378,085 views on Friday, 31 October 2025 our article of the day is Prince Andrew.Andrew Albert Christian Edward Mountbatten Windsor (born 19 February 1960), formerly known as Prince Andrew, Duke of York, is the third child and second son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and a younger brother of King Charles III. Andrew was born second in the line of succession to the British throne and is currently eighth.Andrew served in the Royal Navy between 1979 and 2001 as a helicopter pilot and instructor and as the captain of a warship. During the Falklands War he flew on multiple missions including anti-surface warfare, casualty evacuation and Exocet missile decoy. Andrew married Sarah Ferguson in 1986, and was created Duke of York on his wedding day. They have two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Their marriage, separation in 1992 and divorce in 1996 attracted extensive media coverage. Andrew served as the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment from 2001 to 2011, resigning amid scrutiny over his expenses and associations with figures including Saif al-Islam Gaddafi and the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He continued to undertake official duties on behalf of Elizabeth II until 2019.In 2014, Virginia Giuffre alleged that, as a 17-year-old, she had been sex trafficked to Andrew by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the latter of whom was convicted of child sex trafficking in 2021. Andrew denied any wrongdoing. Amid growing criticism of his associations with Epstein and Maxwell, he permanently stepped back from public roles in May 2020. Between August 2021 and February 2022, he was the defendant in a civil lawsuit over sexual assault filed by Giuffre in the United States. The lawsuit was settled out of court, and Andrew paid an undisclosed sum to Giuffre without admission of liability. In 2022, Elizabeth II removed his honorary military affiliations and royal charitable patronages, and he stopped using the style "His Royal Highness". In October 2025, amid ongoing controversy surrounding Andrew's association with Epstein, Buckingham Palace announced that "a formal process" to remove his style, titles, and honours had been begun by Charles III. He was also served with a formal notice to leave his home, Royal Lodge.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:50 UTC on Saturday, 1 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Prince Andrew on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.

    Britain's King Charles has begun the process of removing his younger brother's "prince" title and told him to vacate the Royal Lodge in Windsor. It comes as controversy swirls over Andrew's friendship with the late child sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, and allegations of sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre. In a statement, Giuffre's family call her "an ordinary American girl who brought down a British prince". Andrew has denied, and continues to deny, all allegations made against him.

    On this episode of The Business of Watches Podcast we drop in on Niels Eggerding, the CEO of Frederique Constant (and sister marque Alpina), at the brand's headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland near Geneva. Eggerding has been in the corner office since 2018 and has steered FC through a series of challenges and triumphs during his time leading the company. The Dutchman has brought more high horology and cool collaborations to the value and volume-driven brand, including perpetual calendars and tourbillons as well as more precious-metal cases. But it's a delicate balance for Frederique Constant as value-priced watches still account for more than 90% of its production volumes. Amid rising input costs and a strong Swiss franc, not to mention the challenge of U.S. tariffs, Eggerding's biggest challenge is maintaining FC's value proposition while burnishing its reputation as a serious watchmaker able to produce high-end timepieces. At the same time, he has to keep delivering sales and profit for the brand's owner, Citizen of Japan.  On this episode of The Business of Watches Podcast, we drop in on Niels Eggerding, the CEO of Frederique Constant (and sister marque Alpina), at the brand's headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland, near Geneva.We hope you enjoy our conversation with Niels Eggerding.

    In February, the Trump administration announced cuts to more than 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts and $60 billion in overall assistance around the world. In July, the agency’s remaining programs were brought under the control of the State Department. Thousands of USAID staff and contractors working in the US and around the world have been fired or laid off, including Portlander Leah Petit. A global health professional for nearly 20 years, Petit was a senior program advisor at USAID’s Office of HIV/AIDS when she lost her job in late January. Her projects focused on strengthening local health systems in Africa and Asia to sustain long-term HIV prevention, monitoring and treatment efforts.    In August, Petit embarked on a new career when she launched “Global Development Interrupted,” a podcast she hosts and produces featuring former USAID workers who help dispel misconceptions about the agency’s work overseas and how it has benefited Americans here. Established nearly 65 years ago, USAID has delivered lifesaving humanitarian assistance and medicines, mobilized to halt the spread of deadly diseases like Ebola, expanded access to clean drinking water and sanitation, along with countless other relief and development programs. Petit joins us to share more details about her podcast and what’s at stake when the US reverses its leadership on international aid, including the millions of lives that are expected to be lost with the dismantling of USAID.

    The Superhero Show #605Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: Death RayThe Superhero Show: Death Ray – Laser Beams, Betrayal, and Mammoth MayhemThis week on The Superhero Show, the hosts fire up their engines for a thrilling look at “Death Ray,” episode 1.03 of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. As Jack Tenrec and Hannah Dundee set out to escort the eccentric Dr. Fessenden into dangerous Grith territory, the group finds themselves caught in one of the show's most suspenseful and explosive adventures yet. With high-tech weapons, shocking betrayals, and prehistoric chaos, this episode turns the heat all the way up in Sea City.A Mission into the UnknownThe story kicks off when Dr. Fessenden reveals a mysterious satellite laser to Wilhelmina Scharnhorst—technology he claims could transform civilization. However, to activate it, he needs to reach an abandoned station hidden deep in Grith territory. Despite her doubts, Wilhelmina recruits Jack to guide Fessenden safely through the dangerous terrain, trusting his uneasy alliance with the Grith to keep everyone alive.Their journey quickly becomes perilous as they face a lurking shivat, a monstrous one-eyed creature that tests their resolve. This pulse-pounding encounter sets the tone for the rest of the episode, where survival and trust are in constant tension.The Talisman and the TrapAlong the way, the Grith present Jack with a talisman—an ancient token whose meaning remains unclear. Is it protection, or a warning of what's to come? Meanwhile, Hammer and his crew catch wind of Fessenden's true mission and decide to seize the Death Ray for their own destructive purposes.The hosts discuss how this moment flips the story from a simple escort mission to a tense race for control of unimaginable power. The stakes skyrocket as Jack, Hannah, and Fessenden are pulled into a web of deception and danger.Captured by HammerThe tension hits its peak when Hammer captures the group at the satellite station. Jack and Hannah are bound and helpless, forced to watch as the Death Ray powers up, aimed directly at them. Fessenden's hidden agenda comes to light, revealing that the technology's potential for good was only an illusion.The hosts highlight how this sequence builds nail-biting suspense—every second counts as Jack's quick thinking and the mysterious power of the Grith talisman become their only hope for survival.Chaos, Carnage, and MammothsJust as all seems lost, chaos erupts. A herd of mammoths stampedes through the facility, scattering Hammer's forces and throwing everything into disarray. Hannah manages to re-aim the Death Ray, turning Hammer's weapon against his own operation. Amid the destruction, Jack risks his life to rescue a baby Zeke, proving his heart and courage once again define him as the hero of this world.In a dramatic finale, the station explodes in a fiery spectacle, ending both the Death Ray threat and Hammer's ambitions—for now.A Fragile Peace RestoredWith the danger behind them, Jack returns the talisman to the Grith, closing this chapter on a note of fragile peace and mutual respect. It's a powerful symbol of how humanity and nature remain forever intertwined in this strange, post-apocalyptic world.Final Thoughts: Death Ray Shines Bright in Cadillacs and DinosaursThe Superhero Show hosts agree that “Death Ray” stands out as one of the most intense and cinematic episodes of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.
