We'll be right back   Break 2: TOM WAGES   ***THE STRIPERS REPORT***   We'll be back in a moment   Break 3: INGLES 4   STORY 6: Junk food binges may lead to memory problems or stroke New research indicates that consuming junk food like crisps and biscuits is linked to memory issues and a higher risk of stroke in later life. The study, published in *Neurology*, found that ultra-processed foods, high in sugar, fat, and salt, and low in protein and fiber, are associated with these health problems. Examples include processed meats, ice cream, and fizzy drinks. The study followed over 30,000 participants aged 45 and older for 11 years, noting dietary habits. Those with higher ultra-processed food intake showed increased risks of cognitive impairment and stroke. Black participants experienced a greater stroke risk increase. The findings highlight the potential impact of food processing on brain health, though causation isn't confirmed. Further research is needed. STORY 7: Discovery High JROTC Female Drill Team Wins State Title Discovery High School's U.S. Army JROTC female drill team won first place at the JROTC State Championship drill competition for the first time in its history. The Titan Battalion had placed second for the past three years but achieved this milestone after seven years. Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Khin Iang expressed pride in their accomplishment, attributing their success to learning from past failures and hard work. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Rob Rooker, the team excelled in categories like precision marching and color guard. Competing against 85 schools, Discovery High qualified in seven of eight categories, with the boys' team also winning the regional championship.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Mario and Eric talk about how the Army JROTC class is coming to Downey & Warren High Schools as an elective course credit.

Hour 2 -  Good Wednesday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:  Shelly Pettit, Major Cazier, and Christina Tonsing join Nick Reed this morning. The three share concerns with the Ozark School district.  Major Cazier was a part of the Army JROTC program in Ozark. Mr. Cazier began to experience issues with the district after several cadets received nose piercings in 2021. The district directed Major Cazier to disregard Army regulations and to permit students to wear their nose rings in uniform. After that, multiple situations arose that eventually lead to the suspension of Major Cazier.  Shelly Pettit started working in the Ozark School District in 2011. Shelly brought up environmental issues in the middle school building where she taught. She began to be harassed for putting in work orders to have mold removed from the building.  Christina Tonsing is a concerned parent who used to volunteer tutor students. After raising concerns with the district, Tonsing says she was ousted and no longer allowed to tutor.  You can read more at the Save Ozark Schools website. 

The murders of Philando Castile and George Floyd open the nation's eyes and unsettled many people's conscious to police abuse and misconduct here in Minnesota, where shouts for defund the police and criminal justice reform are shouted in waves of defiance yet showing little or no application of rural progress. I've tried to fight for my position from behind the walls of injustice. I have become the answer to Langston Hughes' question: what becomes of a dream deferred? Once known as the young man with limitless potential to succeed, as I graduated from Chicago Vocational High School and got recruited to attend the University of Minnesota, Morris on a full scholarship, I stood out as one of 31 finalists to receive the Future Leaders of Chicago award, being the battalion commander in the Army JROTC program, being an all-state wrestler, and being an academic scholar. But none of that had meaning as I was stripped of my name and humanity and reduced to a number: Minnesota inmate number 210006. I was then forced to live in a cell due to being found guilty of a crime I did not commit. Sadly, I have sat in this cell the past nine years filling the devastating effects of systemic racism and legal injustice. I refused a plea bargain, opting to go to trial because I knew I was innocent, and I wanted to see justice work for an innocent black man in America. I was charged and later convicted of a kidnapping and rape of an adult woman that never occurred.  In the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis, I was issued a predominantly white-seated jurors, with one black man, to decide my fate, so I didn't start with a jury of my peers. Most alarming in my case was the level of admitted police misconduct and negligence. The Minneapolis Police Sergeant investigating my case for prosecution admitted in trial testimony that in spite of knowing he was investigating a sex crime, he failed to look for any sort of biological specimens: blood, DNA, or fingerprints, to corroborate that a sexual assault took place and my vehicle is alleged. He noted that he made several mistakes investigating my case, failing to collect evidence was one, and then oversight because he forgot to include it on his search warrant. But it's a simple mistake he made in this one case, he claims, but there was no evidence ever to support that a sexual assault took place in the back of my vehicle. Beyond that, there are a host of other issues in my case, like the presence of a surveillance video that doesn't show or corroborate a kidnapping take place, or the testimony of the alleged victim's account. I have filed a number of appeals just to be denied relief by the Minnesota Appellate Courts, even in the face of them recognizing that my principal brief was very well-supported. I've never understood how a brief can be well-supported and not receive any relief. So it's been an uphill battle and struggle to attain justice and clear my name. I am continuing my fight in spite of the odds against me. And in Minnesota, it is difficult for any African-American person to show the courts that they didn't commit a crime and be taken seriously, especially you become a threat when they figure out that you have any sort of intelligence. And that's been one of my crutches, that I have a certain amount of intellect and I'm not an attorney. Therefore, the courts are willing to hear my arguments as much as they would if I had an attorney representing me. So therefore, if you're listening to this and you can offer any support or legal help, um, you definitely can reach out to me. My name is Izell Robinson, number 210006. And I can be emailed through the JPay app or the website. Or I can be mailed directly through snail mail. My mailing address is Izell Robinson, number 210006, 7600 525th Street, Rush City Correctional Facility, Rush City, Minnesota 55069. Thank you. These commentaries are recorded by Prison Radio.

I was a member of Saint Louis' Army JROTC and a proud member of the Ranger Club. It was extremely hardcore (er, hardcorp, if you will). I had done some writine about it and I will share it here: Charlie was older. He was one of the coolest kids in the school. He was respected both in JROTC as well as in the school. He was pretty bad ass. He was a junior the year I met him. The first Thursday I saw him come into the class was dressed differently than everyone else. He wore the same class As that the rest of us wore but there were several important distinctions. He wore jump boots and a black beret. The boots were old and looked cracked but there was a rich shine on the toe. The pants were bloused into the boots, showing off the tall sides, the endless zigzagging laces. The boots were old but well cared for and lustrous. There glinted like opals. His hair was short off his brown head. His face was set in a permanent grin. A shit-eating grin. But not that of a fool as his eyes were cruel. He was never cruel with me but he was stern. He cheeks were broad and set high. On this head he wore a felt beret rakishly. A military crest in our school colors was stitched into the peak. It was formed to his head and when he was indoors, he doffed beret and rolled it, stored it under the epaulet of his shirt. The shirt that showed he was a Ranger. He was a Saint Louis Ranger. He was member of the Ranger club and this club earned the right to wear jump boots and a black beret. The Rangers turned out to be much more than a simple club. The Rangers was a secret society with a code of honor that was effectively a code of silence. Every Ranger was told of the awful things that could and would befall the Ranger who broke the code. This defilement was the thing of legend. These defilement were legendary and strictly adhered to because each of us held a secret that could not only get us kicked out of school but could also have the Ranger program disbanded and have our Sergeant Major – the man who held all of this together – fired and have the JROTC program disbanded and probably even ruin the reputation of the entire school. Were this secret to ever come out in the school paper or – heaven forbid – in the Advertiser or Star Bulletin, the jig was up. We didn’t talk about the fact that every other weekend, we Rotsee Rangers were for hire. We were hired out by the US National Guard and the US Army Reserves. We were sometimes taken by Force Recon Reserves of the US Marines. Mostly we were hired as OPFOR soldiers for war games, rife with M-16s and M-60s, rife with Alice Packs and field jackets, rife with web gear and L flashlights, rife with cammie paint and canvas pouches designed for 30-round clips. We would bring home a standard form for a field trip to our parents. A form that when signed allowed their fourteen year old son to be issued a 100-percept operational NATO weapon. A weapon that could (and was) fed real armor-piercing rounds. A weapon that was rendered a training aid simply (and only) by affixing a screw-in fuck me red blank adaptor to the tip of the barrel, right onto the flash suppressor. And the 30-round banana clips that we bought at the surplus store didn’t require any adaptation before loading in the shiny brass blanks. We would stuff our cargo pockets full of blanks and bring them home with us. We would get home and we would buy 30-round clips from the surplus store and we taped two of them together so that the clip protruded low from the gun, so that there was always fresh ammo on the gun. So that all you needed to do to reload was to grab the clip, turn the clip upside-down, and load a fresh clip of ammo into the chamber. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app · Charity Promotion: Democracy Works: This advertisement is part of a charitable initiative in partnership with Democracy Works. howto.vote · Charity Promotion: BallotReady: The goal of this initiative is to increase voter education and encourage your listeners to get the vote out during the 2020 General Election this November. https://www.ballotready.org/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/chrisabraham/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/chrisabraham/support

"Top"  Albert Phoenix has been a JROTC instructor for 13 years.  He discusses the U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) which is one of the largest character development and citizenship programs for youth in the world. Army ROTC was established in  1916.  JROTC was expanded to all military services in 1964. JROTC’s mission, "To Motivate Young People to be Better Citizens", is the guide post for the program’s success. First Sergeant Albert Phoenix (ret) discusses Army JROTC with host Jim Fausone. The U.S. Army’s JROTC program currently operates in more than 1,700 public and private high schools, military institutions, and correctional centers throughout the United States and overseas. Approximately 40% of JROTC programs are in inner city schools, serving a student population of 50% minorities. Female Cadets make up 40% of the Cadet population. The JROTC faculty is led by nearly 4,000 instructors who are retired from active duty, reserve duty, or National Guard Army service. Instructors are trained and qualified in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act 2007 to teach and mentor approximately 314,000 JROTC Cadets annually

Cadet Hannah Yee says the T.C. Williams' Army JROTC program has provided her with a solid foundation, turning her from a misguided kid a few years ago into a leader.

Jordan, talks with Hannah about the changes he’s seen in her these past four years as an Army JROTC cadet.
