Alright so this one's not very defamatory and it's mostly scripted - I was gonna put this in the last episode but it ran over time. I am being properly punished with uni work - really interesting stuff - but I really hope to get an episode up this week. Dunno what Jack wants to do, but I want to sink my teeth into this Joanna Howe drama and also look into the greater anti-abortion movement which appears to have gained a lot of traction (read: dodgy money) over the past little while. They usually leave some pretty big fingerprints behind but I gotta say - I saw the rabble outside NSW parliament house a couple weeks ago and it looked fragmented and confused. There was a stage though. And where there's a stage, there's a chequebook. If anyone has any leads or info please let me know via facebook, twitter DM (I rarely check but...) or theconditionalreleaseprogram@gmail.comEnjoy Kash Patel lettting the goatfuckers have their shot at being federal agents. First they came for the barnyard bangers and I said nothing because I don't fuck animals...

2026 Chico Attendees SeriesPhotographer Chris Muth joins Michael Chovan-Dalton from the 2026 Chico Review to talk about his landscape work and processing the varying critiques he received.My name is Chris Muth. I have been a photographer for over 12 years, exploring many different styles and disciplines within the medium, as you may be able to tell. I received my education in filmmaking, and have been photographing, originally, as a way to practice cinematography without a crew and equipment. It has now taken over my creative interest, really since I went to college. For the past few years, I have focused on the land around me, trying to find something within it that I cannot find through other photographic work about the subject. I have been working on a project titled Everywhere You Have Ever Been for about 5 years now, and am going to complete it before this next spring. This project is concerned with exploring our connection to the natural world by exploring the hostility between us. This website will serve as a constantly evolving catalog of that project, as well as a showcase of my previous commercial and creative work.Feel free to contact me for any freelance opportunities, I am open for business!

Bad Rental Applicants? Where Landlords Should Advertise + Condo Bylaws & Getting Started Where should landlords actually advertise rental properties? What should real estate investors look for inside condominium bylaws? And what do you do when you know you want to invest in real estate, but you just can't seem to take that first step? Today's Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show is a listener Q&A covering three very different problems that ultimately come back to the same thing: Good real estate investing requires good systems, good information and the confidence to actually take action. Where Should You Advertise a Rental Property? A listener wrote in after getting poor-quality rental applicants through Facebook Marketplace and wanted to know whether there is a better place to advertise. Wayne's answer: Know your audience. There is no single rental platform that is automatically best in every Canadian city. Facebook Marketplace may dominate one market. RentFaster may work better somewhere else. Another city may have a completely different platform tenants use. The first question should be: Where do tenants in MY market actually look for rentals? One simple exercise is to pretend you are the tenant. Google rental properties in your city. See which websites appear first. Look at where competing rentals are being advertised. That gives you a much better idea of where your potential tenants are actually searching. Bad Applicants May Not Be a Facebook Problem Gabby makes an important distinction. If Facebook Marketplace is where most tenants in your city search for rentals, getting bad applications does not necessarily mean Facebook is the problem. You want exposure. You want inquiries. You want enough applicants that you have choices. The real issue may be what happens after the inquiry comes in. Why Good Tenants Get Taken Quickly Wayne explains the rental process as a funnel. A good tenant may inquire about dozens of listings. They are comparing: Price Property condition Location Photos Communication Availability Landlord responsiveness If your listing is poorly presented, overpriced or you take six hours to respond, another landlord may already have booked the showing. The best applicants often disappear first. That leaves slower landlords competing over whatever applicants remain. Better Systems Produce Better Tenants Wayne's experience has been that landlords with better systems tend to attract and secure better tenants. That means: Great photos. Correct pricing. Fast responses. A desirable property. Professional communication. Strong screening. Efficient showings. Clear expectations. Wayne recently filled an Edmonton basement suite within days despite expecting the rental to be difficult. The successful applicant ended up being one of the strongest applications Wayne and Gabby had seen recently. The lesson: Where you advertise matters. How you operate matters more. Facebook Marketplace, RentFaster and Other Platforms Wayne does use Facebook. RentFaster is another commonly used option in Alberta. Other platforms may dominate other markets. But Wayne does not believe there is some secret website where only great tenants are waiting. Research where your local tenants actually search and make sure your property appears there. Then outperform competing landlords once the inquiry arrives. What Should Investors Look for in Condo Bylaws? The second listener question comes from Carmen, who asks for a simplified breakdown of what investors should look for inside condominium bylaws. Gabby's approach is straightforward. Ask: What rules could prevent me from operating this rental property the way I intend to? That is the lens investors should use when reviewing the bylaws. Rental Restrictions Some condominium corporations restrict how many units within the complex may be rented. Before purchasing, determine whether: Rentals are allowed There is a rental cap Owner occupancy requirements exist Your specific unit can currently be rented Buying a condo and discovering afterward that you cannot legally operate it as a rental creates an obvious problem. Short-Term Rental Restrictions If your plan involves Airbnb or another short-term rental strategy, check this immediately. More condominium corporations are restricting or prohibiting short-term rentals. Do not assume they are allowed simply because municipal rules permit them. The condo corporation can have its own restrictions. Business Restrictions Another issue is operating businesses from condominium units. This can create insurance and liability complications. It can also violate condominium bylaws. If a tenant begins operating a business and the condo corporation prohibits it, the landlord may suddenly be stuck dealing with a lease that conflicts with the condo rules. Understand the restrictions before leasing the property. Pet Restrictions This is one of the biggest issues Wayne and Gabby look for because they operate pet-friendly rentals. Condo bylaws may restrict: Number of pets Size Weight Breed Type of animal That can dramatically reduce your tenant pool. It can even affect fix-and-flip investors. Wayne shares an example of an investor who received a full-price offer on a renovated condo, only to lose the buyer because the condo bylaws prohibited large dogs. The bylaws can affect more than landlords. They can affect resale value too. Who Is Responsible for What? Do not assume the condominium corporation automatically takes care of everything outside the unit. Responsibilities vary. One corporation may cover every exterior window. Another may cover only certain windows. Doors, fences, windows, balconies and other components may have different maintenance responsibilities depending on the bylaws. Understand exactly what belongs to: The condo corporation versus The individual owner. Then compare those responsibilities against the condition of the property and the condo corporation's financial documents. "I Want to Invest, But I Can't Get Started" The final listener question came from someone who knows they want to invest in real estate but feels stuck. Wayne believes the biggest obstacle is usually: Uncertainty. You do not know exactly what happens next. That creates fear. Then fear creates hesitation. You wonder: How do I finance it? What if I buy the wrong thing? What if nobody rents it? What if something breaks? How does insurance work? How do utilities work? How do I screen tenants? How do I know the numbers are right? Eventually you have so many unanswered questions that doing nothing becomes more comfortable than moving forward. You Will Never Feel 100% Ready Wayne's message is that there is a limit to what education can do before experience has to take over. You can read. Watch videos. Take courses. Listen to podcasts. Study spreadsheets. But eventually you need to actually purchase the first property. Confidence comes from doing. Your first deal may feel intimidating. Then you finish it and realize: "That actually wasn't as bad as I thought." The second one becomes easier. Then the third. Sometimes You Need Someone to Hold Your Hand Some investors can educate themselves and eventually take the leap. Others need somebody experienced beside them. That is one of the biggest roles Wayne sees coaching and mentorship playing. It is not simply more information. It is having someone available when the next uncertainty appears. Instead of sitting on the question for six months, you ask it, get an answer and keep moving. The goal is: Confidence. Clarity. Action.

In this episode of United Flight Systems, Bobby Doss continues his conversation with DPE Wally Mulhearn in part two of Ask the DPE. They dive deep into what makes an examiner nervous during checkrides, particularly during simulated engine failures and low altitude go-arounds. Wally explains the importance of proper go-around procedures versus touch-and-goes and why examiners avoid the latter on checkrides. The discussion covers the fine line between an ugly maneuver and an unsafe pilot, emphasizing crew resource management and speaking up early. Applicants learn about checklist discipline as a critical factor, the value of accurate but not overly precise calculations like density altitude, and how decision-making skills are tested from the start. Wally shares insights on common failures, pet peeves with scheduling, and best recoveries after mistakes. The episode wraps with lightning round questions and advice for applicants the night before their checkride. Tune in for invaluable tips to succeed on your next checkride.

When most federal technology leaders look at preventing cybersecurity attacks, they rarely go beyond the network. Today we are looking at a new breach vector: the resume. Patricia Titus from Abnormal AI begins the interview with a shocking story about a recently discovered exploit. In the summer of 2026, the FBI confirmed that a North Korean operative spent months working inside a federal agency as an authorized employee. Because of this incident, Titus makes the case for why the security perimeter must extend upstream to the resume. During the interview, she details how VOIP numbers are used to mask origins. Beyond that, advances in voice duplication (vishing) allow HR personnel to be duped.  Not only that, but today's AI technology allows a single actor to manage several accounts. In other words, today we have a scenario playing out where a naïve hiring manager can have several fake resumes from the same individual competing for the same position. Once a system is compromised, lateral movements are enabled to gain access to sensitive areas of the network. There are attempts to block this system, commonly called Application Tracking Systems (ATS).  Gaps in the ability of this system can be addressed by establishing a formal partnership between the cybersecurity team and the HR department.  From there, behavioral patterns can be used to detect abnormal patterns.  The conclusion is obvious; can public sector leaders effectively validate identity without relying solely on automated systems that may be deceived by high-quality synthetic data?

In this episode of The Spear, host Charlie Faint sits down with the command team of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, Colonel Sean Karrels and Command Sergeant Major Julio Santos, for a conversation about the people, leadership, and culture behind the Night Stalkers. Drawing on decades of experience in Army aviation and special operations, the two discuss their paths into the regiment, what the 160th looks for in its soldiers and leaders, and why teamwork, disciplined initiative, accountability, and mastery of the fundamentals remain central to its success. They explore how the regiment practices mission command, learns from failure, maintains demanding standards, and balances technological innovation with the tactical skills required to operate in the world's most challenging environments. Looking toward future conflicts, they also discuss artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, contested operating environments, and why the regiment's greatest advantage remains its people. Throughout the conversation, Sean and Julio return to a defining idea of the culture in the 160th: Night Stalkers don't quit.

Send us your admissions questions!How can military veterans translate their service, leadership, and clinical experience into a strong PA school application? In this episode of Admissions Straight Talk, host Dr. Valerie Wherley speaks with Brandon R. Beattie, MMSc, PA-C, assistant professor and program director, about the George Washington University (GW) PA Program, the military roots of the PA profession, and the opportunities and barriers veterans face when applying to PA school.Brandon brings both admissions expertise and lived experience to the conversation. Before becoming a PA, he served as a U.S. Army combat medic during multiple overseas tours. He later completed his PA training at Yale and now leads one of the country's long-standing PA programs, which was founded in 1972 and was ranked sixth (tied with Baylor College of Medicine) in U.S. News & World Report's 2025 Best Physician Assistant Programs rankings.The conversation focuses on how veterans can tell their stories in ways that admissions committees will understand. Brandon explains why military jargon, acronyms, and modesty can sometimes hide the depth of an applicant's experience. He also shares practical advice for the PA application process, including proofreading, clarifying military roles for civilian readers, choosing recommendation writers strategically, and showing evidence of grit, teamwork, communication, coachability, and mission fit.If you are a veteran considering PA school, this episode offers a clear framework for presenting military service as a strength, not a complication.0:00 From Military Service to PA School01:32 What Sets the GW PA Program Apart03:25 Veterans and the Origins of the PA Profession05:27 Strengths Veterans Bring to PA School07:03 Barriers Veterans Face in the Application Process15:06 Strategies for a Strong PA Application18:12 Choosing the Right Recommenders20:21 What GW Looks for in Competitive ApplicantsRelated Resources:Brandon R.

The Department of the Air Force is updating its rules for determining whether civilian applicants are a good fit for federal jobs. New interim guidance says candidates must be deemed initially favorable before receiving a firm job offer and must earn a final decision that they are suitable for employment in order to retain the job. “It is important to ensure individuals hired are loyal, trustworthy and of good character,” the memo says. The memo follows a broader Trump administration directive on the same topic and will be replaced with a permanent rule.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kewanee Area United Way Expands "Shoes for Kids" Program to Meet Local Need The Kewanee Area United Way is continuing its Shoes for Kids program, an initiative designed to provide local children with new shoes and help ensure they have what they need to participate fully in school and everyday activities. During an interview on Wake Up Tri-Counties, Kewanee Area United Way Executive Director Linda Blair discussed the program's continued growth and the significant need identified by local schools. Blair said the program was created after conversations with area schools revealed that some children were coming to school with worn-out, ill-fitting, or damaged shoes. In some cases, students had blisters or other foot problems and were unable to participate in physical education because they did not have appropriate footwear. The program began by providing about 200 pairs of shoes in its first year. This year, the United Way expects to provide more than 300 pairs, with the first major order already exceeding 100 pairs. Blair said the need has always been present, but it was often less visible because families and schools found ways to cope. As the Shoes for Kids program has become better known, more families have reached out for assistance, and more community members and organizations have stepped forward to help. One of the program's key partners is Breedlove's Sporting Goods, which helps the United Way manage large shoe orders. Blair said Breedlove's developed a system that allows the organization to organize the shoes by family codes and efficiently distribute them. Other community partners include Kewanee Rotary, Galva Rotary, Kiwanis, Union Federal, the Elks, the Ministerial Association, St. John's, and St. Peter's, along with numerous individual donors. Kiwanis and OSF HealthCare Saint Luke Medical Center are also helping provide socks to accompany the shoes this year. Who Can Apply? Families seeking assistance must meet the program's eligibility requirements. Applicants can qualify by providing proof that the family receives SNAP/EBT benefits or Medicaid. Parents or guardians must also know the child's correct shoe size. Shoes are ordered specifically for each child and cannot be returned, making accurate sizing especially important. The program is available to eligible children attending participating schools, and applications are limited based on available funding. Community Support Makes the Program Possible Blair emphasized that every donation makes a difference. Contributions can range from a few dollars to larger gifts, with all funds helping provide shoes to local children. Donations can be made online at www.kauw.org by selecting the Shoes for Kids program. Checks may also be mailed to PO Box 426, Kewanee, IL, 61443, or dropped off at the Kewanee Area United Way office at 200 E. South Street. A recent example of community support came from the Kewanee High School Class of 1966, which organized a fundraiser for Shoes for Kids as part of its upcoming reunion. The group had already raised more than $1,800 and planned to continue fundraising through September. Blair encourages other organizations, clubs, card groups, and community members to consider organizing their own fundraisers to support the program. More Than Just a Pair of Shoes Blair described the program with the slogan, “A pair of shoes is the cost of safety and a sense of belonging.” She explained that having appropriate shoes can mean much more to a child than simply having a new pair of footwear. It can mean being able to participate in physical education, avoid embarrassment, and feel comfortable and confident alongside classmates.

What can private companies learn from government caseworkers about adopting automation and using data more effectively? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with David Turner, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Government Services at Equifax Workforce Solutions, about public sector automation, data modernization, and the people responsible for delivering social services. The conversation begins with a surprising finding from an Equifax Government Services study of over 500 U.S. government employees. Every respondent expected efficiency to improve during the following year, while 95% believed automation would free time for higher value, human centered work. David explains why government employees may be more receptive to modernization than many people assume. Caseworkers operate under rising demand, staffing pressures, changing policy, and limited budgets. When technology removes repetitive administration or supplies information faster, they can see an immediate connection between the tool and the person waiting for support. We discuss how the meaning of automation has changed inside social services. A few years ago, it might have meant entering information into an online portal. Today, integrated connections can search data sources behind the scenes and return verified information during the caseworker's existing process. David describes continuous evaluation, which can identify when circumstances within a caseload have changed. Instead of searching every case for a possible update, a worker can direct attention toward the people whose income, address, or employment data indicates that further review may be needed. Income verification provides another example. Equifax says it can return income information in under one second, helping prevent the delays created when an applicant must leave the process to find a document. Those pauses matter when an eligibility decision already involves several stages and numerous external systems. The gig economy makes this work harder. Applicants may receive income from employment, contract work, digital platforms, and several side projects. Agencies need access to a fuller income picture without sending people back toward paper forms and manual verification. David also shares what Equifax has learned through its Day in the Life program. The team spends time with caseworkers to understand their processes, policy restrictions, and information constraints. He believes public sector leadership can remain closely connected to employees in the field because many agency executives previously performed those roles themselves. AI introduces further possibilities. David discusses how data and AI could eventually identify signs that someone who has left an assistance program may be experiencing financial difficulty again. Community groups, food banks, or other services could potentially offer support before that person returns to crisis. Such a system would also require careful decisions around consent, privacy, accuracy, and responsibility. The central lesson is refreshingly human. Technology creates value when it removes administrative pauses and gives experienced caseworkers additional time to understand someone's circumstances. Could public sector automation teach private companies how to connect technology investment with human outcomes? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

It's Tuesday, July 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed and Adam McManus U.S. condemns Nigerian Islamic massacre of Christian family The U.S. government is condemning the Islamic massacre of a Nigerian pastor's family in northern Nigeria that occurred earlier this month.   Nine family members of Pastor Ezekiel Dachomo were killed in the recent attack. Pastor Dachomo was known throughout the country for his assigning blame to the Nigerian government for escalating violence against Nigerian Christians.   According to TruthNigeria, which first reported the killings, dozens of others were killed by radical Islamist groups in northern Nigeria on July 11th. President Trump himself had re-posted Pastor Dachomo's recent video where he was crying out for international help, while he stood in a mass grave of dead Christians. Some now suspect the Nigerian government as complicit in the murder of Pastor Dachomo's family as punishment for the video. And now, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has criticized the Nigerian government. On an X post, he wrote, “Nigerian officials have created an environment that facilitates mass violence against Christians and religious minorities by imposing blasphemy and Sharia laws and looking the other way at jihadist atrocities. The U.S. government knows the Nigerian officials responsible for these policies, I have been pushing my bill to sanction them.” Let us remember this sober spiritual lesson from Psalm 9:17: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Are Europe's worst fires connected to perversion and hostility to homeschoolers? Meantime, Spain and France are suffering through the worst fires of the century as 300,000 people have been evacuated so far. That's the largest evacuation since World War II, reports ABC News. Specifically, 13,566 fires have swept across 448 square miles in France. And in Spain, 591 square miles have burned this year which is six times the amount that burned through the first half of 2025. It has resulted in the displacement of 250,000 French and 50,000 Spaniards. Spain approved of faux-homosexual marriage in 2005. And France approved of sexually perverted marriages in 2013. Plus, homeschooling was also recently banned in France. Micah 3 speaks of this tyranny: “And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know judgment? Who hate the good, and love the evil . . . Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them;. . . Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but He will not hear them:” Sweden, Germany and Netherlands oppose homeschooling The same has occurred in Sweden, Germany, and now the Netherlands. Two months ago, the Netherlands' highest court ruled that parents can only claim the homeschool exemption if there is no suitable school nearby, virtually making it impossible to homeschool. And now, England has also adopted a new restrictive homeschool law, signed by King Charles III in April. According to the U.S.-based Homeschool Legal Defense Association, the new law “grants local authorities the power to prevent families from homeschooling if officials believe a proposed home education program is unsuitable.” Micah 3:2-4 speaks of this tyranny: “And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and you princes of the house of Israel: Is it not for you to know judgment? You who hate the good, and love the evil. … who also eat the flesh of My people, and flay their skin from off them. … Then shall they cry unto the Lord, but He will not hear them.” Nuclear power coming to the Islamic world Nuclear power is coming to the Islamic world. The United States has signed an agreement with the Islamic state of Saudi Arabia, providing a legal framework for U.S. companies to participate in Saudi Arabia's civilian nuclear power program. The Muslim countries of Pakistan and Iran have already built a nuclear program. The Muslim-dominated countries of Turkey and Egypt are also in the process of building a nuclear program. Iran and South Korea began their nuclear program in the 1970s, Pakistan in the 1960s, and now, Turkey in 2018, and Egypt in 2022.  Nicaraguan communist president suspended elections Nicaragua's communist president, Daniel Ortega, has suspended his country's elections indefinitely.  The Central American country continues to suffer under the iron grip of communism, and conservative outlet Human Events notes that, “Nicaragua's last election in 2021 was widely disputed after Ortega's government arrested opposition candidates, activists, and members of the business community ahead of the vote.” Of the 43 nations in Latin America, Nicaragua has the second worst Gross Domestic Product per capita — right next to the other communist country — Cuba, and also, Haiti. Forest fires in Northwest America California, Washington, and Oregon are already lit up in forest fires this season. That's well ahead of last year.  In California, there are 3,338 wildfires which have burned 195,000 acres. And in Oregon, 34 major blazes have burned 1.3 million acres, reports The Statesman-Journal. Oregon has burned more acreage than last year and the season's not over. Mostly the fires have been started by an act of God — that is, lightning strikes, reports FoxWeather.com. America ready to deport hundreds of thousands of Haitians The temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of Haitians in America is expected to end this week, according to CBS News.  U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is preparing to launch operations to deport these immigrants, though there is still an option for immigrants to leave on their own.  The Department of Homeland Security explained, “What we would say now is it's closing time which means you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here."  Inflation plagues America Inflation fears have saddled the U.S. economy. Thirty-year U.S. bond yields are up to 5.2%. It's been 20 years since the yields have been in that territory.  Thirty-year mortgage rates hit 6.77% --the highest rate in about a year. MoneyLion.com analyzed pay increases versus cost-of-living increases over the last five years across the U.S. and found 30 states are losing ground. This is impacting the middle class more than anybody else.   Folks in Massachusetts and New Jersey have lost 23% to inflation while Louisiana and Mississippi gained a little ground with a 10-11% bump.  Worldwide government debt increased by 6% In other economic news, government debt for the developed nations of the world has popped up another 6% overall this year.   Fitch Ratings is forecasting a $4.2 trillion bump this year, of which the United States is at the forefront.  Top debtor nations are the United States with a forecasted deficit of 7.8% of our Gross Domestic Product, which is the total market value of goods and services produced within America in a year. The United States is followed by France at 5% of their Gross Domestic Product, Britain at 4.8% of their GDP, Germany at 3.7% of their GDP, and Japan at 3.1% of their Gross Domestic Product. For the first nine months of this fiscal year, President Donald Trump's spendy government exceeded the 9-month average of deficits for 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — the four years for which President Joe Biden was responsible.  The U.S. deficit topped $1.4 trillion for the first nine months, and now is on track for a $2 trillion deficit this year. That compares to the Biden four-year average of $1.67 trillion. That's a 20% increase on the deficit now, in this first year of the Trump administration's fiscal action in his second term.  New York Worldview listener inspired to give $347 Here at The Worldview newscast, Frances in Beacon, New York wrote, “Adam, I was very touched by the story of the McVeda Family in Great Falls, Montana whose kids contributed $347 through their fundraisers on their dairy farm by making chocolate chip cookies, iced tea and hand-crocheted puppets. "What an absolutely beautiful family. I already have a recurring donation for The Worldview, but felt the need to do more to keep you going for another year.  So, I gave another $347. Happy to be one of the 108 listeners you challenged to step up to the plate last week.” Iowan kids raised money for The Worldview with a lemonade stand And Rachel Noland in Ames, Iowa wrote and said, “Adam, last week, there was a massive bike ride across Iowa with 20,000 bicyclists who rode past our house. Our kids set up a lemonade, banana, and hardboiled egg stand for the bikers. They are sending a gift from their earnings to The Worldview in 5 Minutes.  “As a homeschool family, we listen to the newscast almost every morning at breakfast. We listen all the way through to the end and always say loudly with you together, ‘Seize the day for Jesus Christ!' “It's a great start to our day, reminds us to pray for the persecuted church, opens up conversations about world events, and keeps us informed about news from a Biblical perspective.  “Thank you for what you are doing. My son Henry said, ‘Mr. McManus, Keep up the good fight!'” 23 Worldview listeners gave $9,364 And finally, by Monday night at 7:45pm Central, 23 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

Extra print stories Shooter in Seattle killed three people A mass shooter in Seattle, Washington, killed three people and wounded several more on Sunday, CNN reported.  A suspect has been taken into custody, two weapons have been recovered,  and one report indicated that there was a firefight between more than one shooter.  In a statement the night of the shooting, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson promised, “In the days ahead, we will establish what happened and be transparent with the public about what we have learned. Tonight, our attention belongs to the people whose lives were taken, those fighting to recover, and the families beside them.”  Genesis 6:11 reminds us, “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.” Minnesota GOP candidate Mike Lindell gets backlash over amnesty plan Mike Lindell, CEO of My Pillow and GOP gubernatorial candidate in the state of Minnesota, has come under backlash for his amnesty plan for illegal aliens. Lindell suggested ending deportations in Minnesota for six months, and per the Dallas Express, “Lindell proposed giving illegal aliens six months to register with the government, submit fingerprints, undergo background checks, and receive a conditional work visa. Applicants would not receive citizenship or voting rights.” However, under Lindell's plan, these conditional visas would not expire, and the immigrants would “never have to leave.”  Immigration continues to be a major issue in conservative circles, and many have seen Lindell's views as a betrayal.
