The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
Joshua Becker is the founder of Becoming Minimalist, a New York Times bestselling author, and one of the leading voices in the world on intentional living. His work reaches more than 4 million followers across social media and over 1 million readers a month on his website. He spent 15 years as a pastor before discovering minimalism in his own driveway, and his newest book Uncluttered Faith makes the case that owning less isn't just practical, it's profoundly spiritual. The conversation starts with the Memorial Day garage cleanout where Joshua looked up and saw his five-year-old son swinging alone in the backyard, and goes into what he realized about Jesus' teachings on money, how he and his wife Kim navigated wanting to get rid of very different amounts, and the parable that showed him he wasn't the soil he thought he was. If you've ever spent a day off managing your possessions while your kids waited, this one will land. Timeline Summary [1:02] – Joshua on finally making the New York Times list with his fourth book [2:51] – The Memorial Day garage cleanout that started everything [4:40] – A neighbor named June changes his life in one sentence [5:23] – Seeing his son swinging alone and realizing possessions were taking him away [6:37] – Telling Kim, and starting Becoming Minimalist that Monday [7:02] – Why the very first thing he decluttered was the cars [8:57] – Starting with the easiest, most lived-in rooms instead of the garage [11:50] – Easier to clean, more money, more generosity: cataloging the benefits [13:11] – Owning fewer things means owning higher quality things [13:58] – Full introduction: 4 million followers, 1 million monthly readers, 15 years pastoring [16:32] – Realizing June wasn't the first person to tell him about minimalism, Jesus was [17:47] – Why Jesus wasn't inviting him to a boring life but a better one [20:56] – Knowing the verses for years without knowing how to actually live them out [22:39] – Five thousand advertisements a day and the world's definition of a good life [25:16] – Kim was on board, but she wanted to lose 40% and he wanted 80% [27:21] – It's always easier to see everyone else's clutter than your own [28:28] – Why men and women tend to accumulate differently [29:44] – The three moments it got hard, including "let me handle the children's clothes" [32:40] – Would he still be a minimalist if he weren't a Christian?

Managing, cleaning, and organizing them actively pulls you away from the people and purpose that do. Start With the Easy Rooms — Most people think decluttering means attacking the garage or the storage unit. Begin with the car and the most lived-in spaces, where you'll feel the benefit immediately and build momentum. Clean Up Your Own Clutter First — It's always easier to see your spouse's or your kids' excess than your own. You have little standing to ask anyone to let go of their things until you've dealt with yours. Owning Less Redefines Success — When you stop earning to accumulate, you're forced to answer what you're actually working for. That question reshapes your filter for nearly every decision. Worries, Riches, and Pleasures Choke Fruitfulness — In the parable of the four soils, Jesus names riches themselves, not merely the love of them. Many who assume they're the fourth soil are living as the third.

Any time Trump or one of his supporters brings up the 2020 election, insisting he didn't lose it, we hear the usual chorus of groans: why can't he get over it? He lost. Move on. The thing is, I can't get over it either. 2020 was the year everything changed. My entire world was turned upside down because I could see, for the first time, that I was in a bubble, a feedback loop that had shaped my perception of reality. It's just that it wasn't actual reality. It was a curated, hysteria-inducing delusion. It wasn't just me. Go on YouTube, and you'll find hundreds, if not thousands, of people whose lives were fundamentally transformed that year in one way or another. COVID made them quit their job and move into a van. COVID made them decide to divorce. COVID made them learn how to bake sourdough. And a lot of us were red-pilled. It was as though someone pressed the pause button and all of us froze in place for a time. Like in the movie Weapons where the kids suddenly wake up one day…Isolated and shut in, we all turned to social media and the internet, which meant more people were connected than ever before at a time when there were more people alive than ever before. We've never really fully processed what happened to all of us that year.It was the year we stopped trusting the science, the schools, Hollywood, the legacy media, and the government. Children were locked down and staring at their screens, with many of the lost boys finding their way into the dark corners of the internet and would emerge years later fumbling their way toward a rifle and a rooftop.That isn't all of it, or even half of it. None of us would emerge from that year unscathed. We can't talk about it as a country or a people because we are still so divided. The big things divide us, like the vaccine, the masks, the lockdowns, and most especially, the 2020 election.We were stepping into something we did not understand and weren't prepared for. Things have changed enough now that it will be hard to remember just how bad things got after Trump won in 2016. I remember because I was on the inside. I lived it with the Democrats and what would become a Doomsday Cult.We called ourselves “the resistance” even though we had all of the power. Trump and MAGA, they were the real resistance, or at least the revolutionaries going up against the most powerful machine in American history, maybe ever.All I knew was that I had to fight for my side. I woke up every day like a good soldier for the cause and went to battle online, wasting precious time with my daughter, or doing anything else except sitting and staring at a screen and fighting with people I didn't even know over issues that didn't matter with arguments that had no end and went nowhere.Inside the Doomsday Cult, we were awash with mass hysteria because every single day, every time Trump tweeted, the legacy media sent out more waves of hysteria that pulsed through the hive mind and kept reinfecting anyone who scrolled Twitter or Facebook. It was a new emergency every day. We were stuck in an unending state of trauma.The legacy media desperately wants to forget what happened, how they lied and gaslit the public. The consequences for these moral crimes have been minimal. A slap on the wrist for ignoring Joe Biden's cognitive decline, but there has never been a reckoning for what they did to all of us, people who trusted them, in 2020.What Happened to MeMy daughter had to leave her senior year at college to have her graduation on my balcony, but we did it because we were doing our part to help save the country during this once-in-a-generation pandemic.Mobilizing for the cause meant sewing our own masks, displaying them proudly on Instagram. It meant mixing our own hand sanitizer because it was all out at the drug store. Some people were wearing face shields. We were living in fear. We were cowed into silence. Half the country fell into Mass Formation Psychosis. We weren't allowed to attend weddings, churches, or schools, but somehow on Memorial Day, the George Floyd protests became the most important thing in America for months.Systemic racism, they told us, was more urgent than COVID. Really? Bringing the whole country — the whole world — to its knees was less serious than George Floyd dying at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis? Yes. That's what they were telling us, and everyone was mandated to go along with everything that came next.These were our idols, we were told. It was the new state religion, even if Trump was still the president. This is the ideology we're allowed to gather for. This is worth tear ing down statues, burning buildings, carving out “autonomous zones” and demanding everyone put a black square on Instagram, capitalize the word Black and raise their fists to Black Lives Matter. The madness unfolding on the streets meant Democrats could actually lose in November, I believed. So why wasn't anyone trying to stop them? Why were the Democrats encouraging them? I started wondering what the hell was going on. It felt like unseen hands were manipulating events behind the scenes, and we were all expected to just go along with it.As I began to speak out and ask questions, I was turned into an enemy. “You've changed,” wrote Neera Tanden on Twitter. She was right. I had. By the time Twitter pressured the New York Times to back off their Tom Cotton essay, Send in the Troops, I was done. Maybe I was naive. I didn't understand the assignment. I'd seen too many Frank Capra movies. I'd begun to believe politics was like an Aaron Sorkin screenplay. I thought we were the good guys. We are the side with ethics and decency and fairness.I was like Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 when Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up, and she thinks he's a bad guy, but when he says, “Come with me if you want to live, she realizes that everything is backward. The people she thought were the good guys weren't. The guy she thought was there to kill her was actually there to save her. By the end of 2020, I was as black-pilled as Jack Nicholson in Chinatown, disillusioned and wide awake. Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.But what I saw them do - how we were all manipulated, how they rigged the election to be too big to fail - I could see for the first time that my side had too much power. So much power that American democracy was now beside the point.It didn't matter how the people voted, because we would decide who was allowed to win and who would become an existential threat to the world we were building, the utopia we were building online.When I left the party, I knew I couldn't be fully honest about what I believed happened, though I did say that the election had been rigged. I also couldn't be honest about what I knew about January 6th, at least not in the beginning. When I saw the riot break out, my first thought was, that's not MAGA. They don't do that.And anyway, even if they did, why couldn't the Democrats chalk it up to months of lockdowns and highly enraged, radicalized people on the Right just as there were on the Left that Summer. Why couldn't they? Because it was all still part of the long con, the mass delusion. These ideas were dangerous to hold for anyone in America but especially someone of the Left, and yet, I could not stop it. The truth began knocking. I ignored it as long as I could, but eventually, the knocking became a banging, and I had no choice but to open the door.How to Rig An ElectionOnce you start tugging on the question of why Twitter and Facebook censored the Hunter Biden laptop, you begin to unravel the bigger picture of just how deep the conspiracy went. But you don't need the whole story. You just need to know this: The FBI and the CIA worked against the sitting president to lie to the public that the laptop was “Russian Disinformation.” It was just a standard run-of-the-mill October surprise, timed to help ignite a scandal before the election. But it was also information the public had a right to know, as we would find out later. So anyone who shames Trump for calling the election rigged and denying it was legit will have to answer for this. But if you keep pulling on that string, you'll find the why of it. They were trying to fix all of the problems they believed caused Hillary Clinton's loss. This would be payback for the email scandal that hit her campaign, which she called “Russian Disinformation.” That would also turn out to be untrue.But there were other problems that needed correcting, like lazy voters who assumed Hillary would win because she was so far ahead in the polls and didn't bother turning out. They would fix this problem using COVID as the pretext to change everything about how people vote and how those votes are collected.They knew they had Pennsylvania won long before Election Day and it would only be a matter of convincing the public not to get too excited about a “red mirage.” To all of them, that's the right way to win an election.Trump won Iowa, Ohio and Florida, not to mention the bellwether counties that have decided our elections. The only other time anything like this happened was in 1960, when JFK won in a squeaker. Compare that to 2020, and you can see that something was very off about the numbers. Since the Democrats believed Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook had handed Trump the win in 2016 by using their marketing machine (the Clinton campaign refused their help), it was time for Zuckerberg to undo that damage, which came in the form of a $400 million slush fund used to “fortify” the election but mostly in the heavily blue districts. Had all of this been shared with the whole country as a way to improve our elections overall, that would have been one thing. But it was all done behind the scenes, in the shadows, far from the reach of anyone who might dissent. It was anything but ethical and anything but fair.It was all part of a grand scheme to stay one step ahead of Trump. If they already knew he would claim it was rigged, why not just rig it? Who would the people believe? Trump or the “bipartisan cabal” of unelected bureaucrats hiding in the shadows?The truth is that Trump was pulling ahead because the Left was losing its mind, and Trump picked up on it. He changed his campaign; no matter how many ways they tried to keep him from his rallies, he got the word out anyway. That would explain why he won those key states but lost so much in the popular vote. Our elections should not be decided months before Election Day. Candidates should have to make their case to the people, not hide in the basement and let the system do the work. It's the candidate's job to inspire the voters to vote for the kind of government they want, and it's the voters responsibility to be motivated enough to turn out to the polls and cast their vote. But with an easily manipulated hive mind like the Democrats had cultivated for ten years they didn't need any of it.The Year That Broke AmericaI've never been able to convince anyone of what I believed happened in 2020. If you were on the Left, chances are, you wouldn't be able to see it either. You would have trusted the same people I used to trust: CNN, New York Times, MSNBC, your social media feed.You would have come out of that year thinking Joe Biden won the 2020 election fair and square and that Donald Trump refused to lose, so he led a dangerous assault on the Capitol, putting our democracy under threat. Yet, after everything they did to Trump that year and for the four years prior, what else could he have done except protest? It was just a little too convenient that there happened to be a riot at the same time, a Reichstag Fire that handed absolute power to Team Blue.If you were still trapped inside the Doomsday Cult, you'd have been primed and ready to go to war on your fellow Americans because Vice President Kamala Harris would tell you January 6th was like 9/11 and Pearl Harbor. You would have thought Liz Cheney and the Prime Time Show Trial was legit. What an easy mark you'd be.If you never escaped, as I did, you'd still be trapped inside the Doomsday Cult and never have any idea that none of this is your fault. You were put into a kind of trance in 2020, even before, like the kids in the movie Weapons, frozen in place and used as an army to do the bidding of the Democratic Party.They made you believe, like they made me believe, that every day really was the end of the world as long as Donald Trump was in power. But it was never true, none of it. All the Democrats ever had to do was offer the people something better. If everything Molly Ball wrote about the election the “Secret Bi-Partisan Cabal” supposedly saved, how did Trump win again? In Weapons, the children are put under a spell and aimed at the enemies of the witch. Once the spell is broken, the children wake up and realize the person they should be mad at isn't the one she made them attack, but instead the witch herself for robbing them of their ability to think for themselves. And so it goes with the Democrats.// This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.sashastone.com/subscribe

Our card this week is Terrance "Konomi" Plummer, the Ace of Spades from North Carolina. It was Memorial Day weekend in 2010, and hot as hades in North Carolina, when 22-year-old Terrance “Konomi” Plummer Junior was found murdered in a crime so brutal—and so deliberate—that it stayed with everyone who touched the case—especially Lt. Jeff Locklear. What began as another homicide investigation became the one case he could never shake—his White Whale. More than a decade later, the answer would come from something investigators had possessed all along. And information they never knew existed—finally solving Plummer's murder and giving Locklear something he'd spent years chasing: closure.

X: @MarioAndretti @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Mario Andretti — an American icon, pioneer and legend in motorsports. Mario Andretti's American Dream story is especially compelling because it goes beyond motorsports. His family's experience as refugees, their emigration to the United States, and his rise to become one of the greatest race car drivers in history make him a powerful example of perseverance and opportunity. The conversation also focuses on Mario's journey from communist Yugoslavia to America and taking a visit to his birthplace in Montona, Italy (ceded to Yugoslavia in 1945 after WWII and now present day Motovun, Croatia). His family lost over 2,100 acres of ancestral land when the communists took over the Istrian peninsula in the northern Adriatic region. Through hard work, perseverance, risk-taking and the pursuit of excellence fueled by creativity and innovation, Mario was more than a pioneer and high-achiever. Mario's professional record when reflecting on his stellar career includes 111 major professional race wins. Mario Andretti remains the only driver ever to win all three of these prestigious races: Daytona 500 Indianapolis 500 A Formula One Grand Prix President Trump formally recognized Andretti's legendary racing career as an inspiration for the America's 250th Anniversary celebration through the forthcoming Freedom 250 Grand Prix that will take place on August 22-23, 2026, marking the first‑ever NTT INDYCAR SERIES race on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

Trump's Executive Order launching the Freedom 250 Grand Prix of Washington, D.C. – the first ever INDYCAR street race in the Nation's capital, to be held near the National Mall in honor of America's 250th birthday. SHOWCASING AMERICA'S MOTORSPORT LEGACY: President Trump is bringing world-class American motor racing to the heart of the Nation's capital to celebrate our history, inspire future generations, and highlight the enduring spirit of American innovation and achievement. American INDYCAR racing has thrilled Americans for over a century, producing legends like A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti and drawing global attention to the Indianapolis 500 each Memorial Day weekend. The Freedom 250 Grand Prix will be the first motor race ever held in our Nation's capital near the National Mall, uniting Americans in celebration of our 250th anniversary of independence. The race will showcase the beauty and grandeur of Washington, D.C., while demonstrating the power of American ingenuity in engineering, technology, and high-performance racing. americasrt.com https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @MarioAndretti @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 15, is the Memorial Day of Saint and mystic Bonaventure, Bishop and Doctor of the Church (1221-1274), a thirteenth-century Italian saint, known as the Seraphic Doctor.As the General of the Franciscan Order, he consolidated the institution and was even considered a second founder.Teacher and preacher, he was a unique personality, beloved by God and men alike, who attracted everyone who saw him.Unsurpassed in sanctity, wisdom, and eloquence, he was gifted, as with a skill of accomplishing things. St. Bonaventure had not only a winning disposition, but a heart full of love, pious, charitable, and rich in virtue and wisdom.His contemporaries are said to have believed that no one was "more handsome, more holy, or more learned" than he.In philosophy, he was the principal leader of the Platonic-Augustinian school of Franciscan thought; as such, he stood opposed to the Aristotelianism that was making its way into the schools of the time (represented by Thomas Aquinas).Bonaventure's Life of St. Francis was a favorite book of the Middle Ages.Dante had already included him among the inhabitants of his "Paradise."Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Mireille Cameron, his Zendesk account manager, to Set Lusting Bruce to discuss her South Louisiana and North Carolina upbringing, early musical influences (Cajun, Zydeco, jazz, bluegrass, Prince), and how music shaped her life. Mireille shares why she finally saw Bruce Springsteen for the first time on the current tour in Cleveland over Memorial Day weekend, drawn by his longevity, message, and the communal, family-oriented concert culture. They talk about the show's powerful opening, standout moments like “Long Walk Home,” the band's energy and size, Bruce's three-hour no-break performance, and audience reactions. Mireille and her husband compare the experience to other live-music bucket list shows, discuss artists they've seen and hope to see, and she answers the podcast's “Mary” question. 00:39 Work Worlds Collide 01:57 Growing Up Musical 03:57 Louisiana Culture Vibes 06:28 No Music Rebellion 09:00 First Bruce Show Plans 10:45 Arena Family Energy 12:17 Opening Punch War 15:59 Surprises And Stamina 19:18 Band Highlights And Encore 22:58 Balancing Fans and Growth 24:21 Hopeful Songs and Unity 26:01 Bucket List Concerts 28:51 Local Shows and Folk Finds 30:00 New Orleans Music Trip 31:23 Festivals Food and Family 32:48 Clifton Chenier VIP Moment 34:48 Thunder Road Car Debate Learn more about your ad choices.

It's mid-July. You started the summer with good intentions. And somewhere between the cookouts, the vacations, the late nights, and the "just this once" moments that have been stacking up since Memorial Day - your routine quietly dissolved.You're not tracking. You're not hitting your protein. You're eating whatever is fastest because the day got away from you again. And you've been saying "I'll reset after this weekend" for six weeks.This isn't a discipline problem. This is what happens when you spend an entire season with no structure and no plan. And today I'm giving you three specific steps to refocus before August arrives and the whole summer is gone.You'll learn:Why mid-July is its own specific challenge - and why the "just this once" events that have been stacking since Memorial Day are not a moral failing, they're a predictable response to an unstructured seasonWhy avoiding the scale and the food log is quietly making everything worse - and what looking at the number actually does for your momentumHow to pick one anchor habit for the next two weeks that keeps you connected to your goals while summer swirls around youWhy the "what's for dinner" problem is the single most underestimated driver of off-rails eating in summer - and the exact fixThe 60-second AI trick I use to solve dinner before it becomes a crisis: the exact prompt to type into ChatGPT or Claude to get five high-protein, under-30-minute summer meals built around what you actually have in your kitchenWhy the women who arrive at Labor Day feeling strong are not the ones who were perfect all summer - they're the ones who noticed the slide in mid-July and did something about itIt is not too late to salvage the second half of your summer. Not even a little bit.Three things. That's all this takes. Let's do it.AI Prompt: "I need dinner ideas for this week. I want meals that are under 30 minutes, high in protein, and light enough for summer because I don't want to stand over a hot stove. I have chicken, shrimp, and ground turkey in my freezer. I need options that work for a busy woman who might be coming in from outdoor activities and needs something fast. Can you give me five ideas with a quick description of each?"Join us in Inspire Nutrition! Use the link here and code JULY30 and save $30 instantly! https://inspirehw.com/nutritionLegion Supplements.

Boss Your Business: The Pet Boss Podcast with Candace D'Agnolo
July has always been known as one of the slower retail months so Candace made a strategic decision: go big or go home. Dante and Dory's threw a patriotic pet sale from Friday, July 3rd through Monday, July 6th. The result? $3,000 more in sales than Memorial Day weekend (about a month earlier), driven by 100 additional transactions. This episode is a complete behind-the-scenes walkthrough of how she planned it, executed it, and what she learned - plus strategies you can apply to your own holiday sale. Listen now to hear:
Grief is a strange thing to show up for publicly when you're still right in the middle of it, and honestly, parts of what I'm going through right now feel so private and so deep that I'm not even sure I have the language for it yet. But I felt called to share, because some of this might help someone. A few weeks ago I recorded an episode about losing Huxley unexpectedly on Memorial Day. If you haven't heard that one yet, go back and listen first. This episode is what's come after and what I've leaned into to heal and process my loss. It feels like I'm in the middle of a big spiritual awakening. Something about grief this deep, when you actually let yourself feel it instead of escaping it, has a way of shaking loose everything you thought you knew about yourself. My values, my worldview, my identity, how I want to show up in this work is all up for questioning. In this episode I'm sharing four specific things that have been genuinely helping me move through loss. IN THIS EPISODE Why I deleted the games off my phone and started auditing where I was unconsciously checking out The 14 books I read last month and why grief sent me deep into Jungian analysis, shamanic practices, and dream interpretation What dream interpretation has opened up for me, including a dream where Huxley showed me something I needed to hear The signs Huxley keeps sending me and why I've stopped dismissing what my intuition points to The February knowing I had about Huxley's time, and what that's taught me about trusting what I feel even when my logical brain argues back Why writing, including poetry that I haven't written since high school, has been the most healing thing of all What writing my second book from a coffee shop overlooking the ocean has felt like during all of this Thank you for the outpouring of love and messages since the last episode. Over four hundred of you reached out to share your love and sympathy. It has meant everything. This community is something I don't take for granted.

Chris Lawrence broadcasts an entire episode live from the deck of Ed Powell's bass boat on Lake Erie near Buffalo, New York, during a Memorial Day weekend pre-spawn smallmouth trip. After enduring miserable 48-degree, windy, rain-soaked conditions on day one, the pair land an extraordinary haul on day two, boating over 50 smallmouth with five fish topping four pounds, including a 4-pound, 11-ounce standout — what Lawrence calls the best day of fishing in his life. Powell, who is pre-fishing the stretch ahead of a Bassmaster Open in August, walks through his drop shot technique on vertical seawalls, braided line setup, and the role of forward-facing LiveScope sonar, discussing both its advantages and the ongoing debate over whether it makes competitive fishing too easy. The conversation also touches on Powell's season on the Bassmaster Opens circuit, including a top-10 finish at Lake Norman, and the Tour de Coal float trip on the Coal River back home in West Virginia.
The crew debates the best holidays, diving into a legendary 1995 Detroit Halloween story and the awkwardness of traditional Memorial Day greetings. Plus, they break down why Tigers Opening Day is treated like a massive local event—despite the $100 parking fee
One year after Disney announced the live-action Lilo & Stitch sequel, we're checking in on everything we know so far. The biggest news is that Chris Sanders is directing. He co-created the original 2002 animated film and has voiced Stitch from the very beginning, so this property is in the hands of someone who truly knows what ohana means. Disney has also locked in a release date of May 26, 2028, the same Memorial Day window where the first live-action film opened to $183 million on its way to breaking $1 billion worldwide.We also cover what's coming next: filming starts this year, likely back on Oahu, and the sequel will be a completely new story rather than an adaptation of Stitch Has a Glitch. That fresh start opens the door for some repair work after the first film's divisive ending that separated the sisters. Plus, star Maia Kealoha is pushing for Angel, Stitch's female counterpart, to join the cast, and a new Lilo & Stitch short featuring Lilo adopting a cat could hint at where the family dynamic goes next.Timestamps:00:00 Chris Sanders tapped to direct the sequel00:20 Release date locked for May 26, 202800:29 Filming starts this year, likely on Oahu00:36 A brand-new story, not Stitch Has a Glitch00:47 Repairing the first film's ending and reuniting the sisters00:57 The case for Angel and the upcoming Lilo & Stitch shortKey Takeaways:Chris Sanders, co-creator of the 2002 original and the voice of Stitch, is directing the live-action sequel.The release date is set for May 26, 2028, hitting the same Memorial Day window where the first film earned $183 million on opening weekend.Filming begins this year, likely returning to Oahu.The sequel will tell a completely new story instead of adapting Stitch Has a Glitch.The first live-action film crossed $1 billion, which is why the sequel got fast-tracked.Maia Kealoha wants Angel, Stitch's counterpart, in the sequel, and a new short featuring Lilo adopting a cat could set up the family's next chapter.Memorable Quotes:"He knows what Ohana means.""They got to get the sisters back together again.

This week, we're celebrating our nation's birthday and an incredible miracle.Two-year-old Annelise Camp nearly drowned on Memorial Day. Soon after arriving at the hospital, doctors said they wanted to stop treatment and sought to declare her brain dead. Refusing to give up on their daughter, they connected with Texas Right to Life for help.After weeks of legal battles, a transfer to another hospital, and countless prayers from people across the country, Annelise is alive—and improving.In this episode, we discuss what "brain death" really means and why we need better laws to protect patients.
The salient point of our discussion centers on the notion that while the customer remains present in the marketplace, their engagement is contingent upon the provision of compelling reasons to act. This assertion is substantiated by an analysis of recent earnings reports from prominent furniture retailers, revealing that despite a lackluster sales performance, there exists a notable uptick in written sales, indicative of underlying demand. We scrutinize the strategic maneuvers employed by Bassett Furniture, whose successful Memorial Day promotion exemplified the effectiveness of well-constructed offers in stimulating consumer activity amidst a challenging economic landscape. Furthermore, we delve into the broader implications of consumer confidence metrics, highlighting the dichotomy between rising optimism regarding income and persisting anxieties surrounding job security, which may influence purchasing behaviors. Ultimately, our discourse underscores the imperative for retailers to articulate clear value propositions and financing options to navigate the complexities of the current economic climate effectively.Takeaways:The recent earnings reports from Bassett Furniture reveal that despite a flat revenue surface, underlying demand has significantly risen, indicating a potential uptick in future sales performance.Culp's fiscal year-end report illustrates a duality in the market, with bedding sales thriving while upholstery suffers, directly correlating to fluctuations in the housing market.Consumer confidence has shown a slight improvement, yet concerns regarding job security persist, leading to cautious consumer spending behavior, particularly in large purchases like furniture.The success of Bassett's promotional strategies during Memorial Day underscores the necessity for retailers to craft compelling offers that resonate with consumer needs and encourage spending.The data surrounding recent shopping events reveals a trend towards comparative shopping, necessitating retailers to establish a strong, defensible pricing strategy to attract discerning customers.The integration of artificial intelligence in the workforce is becoming increasingly prevalent; however, the fundamental need for human employees remains critical, particularly in customer-centric sectors.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #308 Title: Blood That Cries to God From the Ground Web Description: If you want God to hear your prayers, then remember that there is nothing God hears more than the blood that cries to Him from the ground. The cry from the spilled blood of those who gave their lives for God is still rising up to Him from the earth. We join with their cry to see the full redemption by the blood of Christ that removes the pollution and futility that was imposed on the earth by man's shedding of innocent blood. Show Notes: Memorial Day is a time to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. But we should have a daily gratitude in our hearts for the ones who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy. Those freedoms were secured by the blood of men and women who fought and died to preserve this country that was dedicated in its foundations to God. And the tragedy today is that the love for this country is being eroded away. It is appalling to see so many who are tearing down our nation and tearing down what it stands for. They are literally spitting on the blood of those who died for this nation to exist. God said to Cain, who had murdered his brother Abel, "Your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground." And there is a cry going up from those whose blood was spilled fighting for this country. They may be dead, but they are still praying. Their blood is crying out to God from the ground. It is crying out to see the purpose for which they gave their lives fulfilled. They gave their lives for a vision. And that vision is that the United States of America would be a righteous nation that does the will of God in the earth. We know that our personal salvation comes from the shedding of Christ's blood. But we also know the ground was cursed when it received Abel's blood at Cain's hand. And the Scriptures tell us that the land is polluted by bloodshed. So the blood of Christ was also spilled on this earth to cleanse it of the pollution and the curse that began with the blood shed by Cain. Even in His agony before the cross, His sweat fell as drops of blood on the ground. The greatest way we can pray for our country today is to join our hearts with this cry of the blood that is going up to God. God hears that cry, and He will bring justice because of it. Key Verses: • Romans 5:6–8. "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." • John 15:12–14. "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." • John 10:11–15. "The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." • Genesis 4:8–12. "The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground." • Luke 22:39–44. "His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground." • Genesis 9:3–6. "Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed." • Numbers 35:33–34. "You shall not pollute the land in which you are; for blood pollutes the land." • Deuteronomy 21:6–9. "You shall remove the guilt of innocent blood from your midst." • Revelation 6:9–11. "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood?" Quotes: • "If you're going to criticize this country, if you're going to tear down the symbols and statues of heroes who have given their life and stood to create this country, the first question before you start speaking under these liberties should be, 'Are you willing to spill your blood for it to survive or are you just tearing it down?'" • "You can look for weather patterns and this and that and explain the change in the earth and all that's going on. But if you really want to see where it comes from, it's the cry of the blood. It's the earth refusing to be a partner with that which is spilling the blood on the earth." • "We need to pray for the land. We need to pray for this nation as the ground that God has given us that is bound by futility because it has received the pollution that comes from the blood being spilled upon it." Takeaways: 1. When we talk about Memorial Day, we are talking about those who have given their lives for this country. There must be a daily remembering of those who paid the ultimate price of death for the principles of freedom, of faith, and of knowing that this country was dedicated to God. 2. God never forgets the spilled blood of Abel that is crying out to Him. If we believe God hears our prayers for this country, how much more is God hearing the cry of the blood of our brothers and sisters that was spilled for the vision of this country? 3. The land is polluted, and the nations are oppressed under the futility of the earth caused by the spilling of blood. Our redemption by the blood of Christ must result in the release of the earth from the futility and pollution that man's bloodshed has brought to God's creation.

A 19-year-old Cal Poly freshman leaves a Memorial Day party in 1996 and never makes it back to her dorm. No body, no crime scene – just one last person seen walking beside her in the dark. For nearly 25 years, the case of Kristin Smart went cold — kept alive only by a family that refused to stop asking questions. It took a small-town sheriff willing to break silence and an outsider podcaster methodically knocking on doors to finally crack open what happened that night — and why so many people stayed quiet for so long.

The Author Events Series presents Geraldine Brooks | Memorial Days In Conversation with Tamala Edwards Barbara Gohn Day Memorial Lecture A heartrending and beautiful memoir of sudden loss and a journey towards peace, from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Horse. Many cultural and religious traditions expect those who are grieving to step away from the world. In contemporary life, we are more often met with red tape and to-do lists. This is exactly what happened to Geraldine Brooks when her partner of more than three decades, Tony Horwitz – just sixty years old and, to her knowledge, vigorous and healthy – collapsed and died on a Washington, D. C. sidewalk. After spending their early years together in conflict zones as foreign correspondents, Geraldine and Tony settled down to raise two boys on Martha's Vineyard. The life they built was one of meaningful work, good humor, and tenderness, as they spent their days writing and their evenings cooking family dinners or watching the sun set with friends at the beach. But all of this ended abruptly when, on Memorial Day 2019, Geraldine received the phone call we all dread. The demands were immediate and many. Without space to grieve, the sudden loss became a yawning gulf. Three years later, she booked a flight to a remote island off the coast of Australia with the intention of finally giving herself the time to mourn. In a shack on a pristine, rugged coast she often went days without seeing another person. There, she pondered the various ways in which cultures grieve and what rituals of her own might help to rebuild a life around the void of Tony's death. A spare and profoundly moving memoir that joins the classics of the genre, Memorial Days is a portrait of a larger-than-life man and a timeless love between souls that exquisitely captures the joy, agony, and mystery of life. Geraldine Brooks is the author of six novels, including Horse, People of the Book, Year of Wonders, and the Pulitzer Prize–winning March. She has also written acclaimed works of nonfiction, including Nine Parts of Desire and Foreign Correspondence. Her books have been translated into more than thirty languages and have sold millions of copies around the world. Born and raised in Australia, Brooks divides her time between Sydney and Martha's Vineyard. Tamala Edwards joined 6abc in January of 2005. She is the weekday co-anchor of Action News Mornings from 4 a.m to 7 a.m. and is a regular co-host of Inside Story, conducting probing interviews with newsmakers like Governor Tom Corbett, Senator Bob Casey, Mayor Michael Nutter and others, as well as moderating many election debates. Prior to joining 6abc, Tamala Edwards was the anchor of ABC's World News Now, and World News This Morning.

Dr. Jessica Taylor has spent years helping survivors understand abuse, coercive control, and stalking. Then she found herself living it. What started as online harassment grew into a relentless campaign of stalking and surveillance. People she had never met seemed to know intimate details about her life, her family, and her movements. As the harassment escalated, a whistleblower came forward with evidence that exposed just how closely she had been watched. Today, Jessica shares her experience surviving online stalking, the impact it had on her life, and how it led her to write Click. Stalk. Destroy.

Bonus Episode: The GOAT of competitive eating, Joey Chestnut, joins us live from Charlotte Motor Speedway on Memorial Day race weekend. Joey pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to eat 70+ hot dogs in 10 minutes: the cleanses, the jaw training, the rhythm, the film study, and why it's a lot more like racing than people realize.We cover the 76 hot dog world record, the time he grabbed a protestor mid-contest and still won, the Kobayashi rivalry, the "999" baseball challenge, his first-ever win (deep-fried asparagus, somehow), and what the end of a career looks like for the best to ever do it. He also tries a Gleezy dog for the first time and weighs in on the great ketchup debate.Equal parts hilarious, surprising, and oddly inspiring.
