The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – That's right, Washington, D.C., has used embezzled funds to bribe Americans into dependency on their ill-gotten gains. It's not just federal fiscal malfeasance that's the problem. Obamacare's promise of more affordable healthcare has proven false, and more evidence is coming to light about fraud in the system.

It's not just federal fiscal malfeasance that's the problem. Obamacare's promise of more affordable healthcare has proven false, and more evidence is coming to light about fraud in the system.
The veteran media strategist reflects on Chuck Schumer's once-golden Sunday pressers and how his "price-of-milk politics" model needs updating for 2025. He discusses New York Democrats' strategic silence in the Mamdani race, Hillary Clinton's 2000 outreach to Hasidic women, and why he can praise Trump's Middle East diplomacy without voting for him. Plus, an inquiry into which seven wars Trump claims to have ended, including the murky Kosovo-Serbia "peace," and the legacy of Dick Cheney, measured against the one war he chose to start.

Today marks 46 years since November 4, 1979—the day the Iranian Hostage Crisis began. To honor this significant moment in history, this week's Encore Episode of The Professional Noticer revisits Andy's powerful conversation with U.S. Marine Sergeant Rocky Sickmann, one of 65 Americans taken hostage when militants stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

May 1871: Bloody Week and Morisot's Transformation Into a Professional Artist. Sebastian Smee discusses how the Commune began to fall when French government forces returned to retake the city, resulting in Bloody Week in May 1871. The civil conflict was atrociously violent, with the Communards retreating street by street and systematically burning important Parisian buildings. The atmosphere was toxic, resulting in summary executions on a massive scale. Berthe Morisot and her family witnessed the smoke and were stunned by the devastation upon returning. The traumatic events had a profound effect on Morisot, intensifying her resolve to carve out a career as a professional painter—a radical decision for a woman of her background. In subsequent years, Morisot emerged from Manet's shadow, becoming more radical and innovative in her subject matter. 1870

The Conservation of Charge and the Practical Genius of the Lightning Rod. Richard Munson discusses how Benjamin Franklin was an endlessly busy experimenter who began his famous work by studying the Leiden jar, a rudimentary battery. Franklin conducted fundamental research and developed the law of the conservation of charge: the idea that positive and negative electrical charges always seek balance. On Christmas Day 1750, he exposed himself to danger by touching the terminals of two Leiden jars, which violently threw him across the room. In 1751, Franklin published his pamphlet, Experiments and Observations on Electricity Made in Philadelphia, America, which generated international fame before the kite experiment. Franklin sought a practical solution to the danger posed by lightning, and his experiment confirmed the connection between lightning and electricity, leading to the invention of the lightning rod, which became a great practical discovery saving lives and buildings. Franklin also invented the Franklin stove and refused a patent, viewing the invention as a public benefit. He pursued observation and experimentation with "joyfulness," viewing unexpected results as new possibilities.
The Fateful Secret: Mackenzie's Panic and the Wardroom's Verdict of Death. Richard Snow discusses how the crisis began on Friday, November 24, 1842, when Philip Spencer detailed his plot to crew member Wales, claiming to have recruited at least 20 people to turn the Somers into a pirate ship. Wales reported the plot to First Lieutenant Gansevoort, who reported to Captain Mackenzie. Mackenzie initially dismissed the claim but quickly became convinced and panicky, ordering Gansevoort to spy on Spencer. On Saturday, Mackenzie confronted Spencer and had him put in irons. Mackenzie grew increasingly suspicious, eventually arresting Boatswain's Mate Cromwell and Seaman Small. The ship's environment became one of "collective insanity" and extreme paranoia. Mackenzie suspiciously delegated the choice by asking his wardroom officers to convene an investigation, and the officers delivered a verdict: for the safety of the vessel, Spencer, Small, and Cromwell had to die. Despite being only hours from fortified land in the Virgin Islands, the verdict was executed.

I Was There When Quality Monitoring Began—Now I'm Watching AI Transform It All Over Again What if the biggest changes in contact centers aren't really new at all—just lessons we keep relearning? For over 30 years, we've been chasing the perfect balance between quality and quantity, the same tension that started when call monitoring was done with cassette tapes. Now, AI promises to revolutionize quality monitoring again—but unless leaders understand the five unchanging truths of this industry, they risk repeating the same mistakes with newer tools. In this milestone 150th episode, you'll discover: How lessons from the early days of quality monitoring reveal what AI must do differently to actually deliver faster, better, cheaper results. Why technology should always be treated as the driver, not the destination—and how that mindset changes everything. The five timeless truths every contact center leader must embrace to create a thriving, not just surviving, organization.
Welcome to the finale of our series in the book of Acts! We hope you were encouraged and are more familiar with the birth of the church in the New Testament. In this last sermon, Pastor Bryan discussed the seemingly anticlimactic end to Acts but highlighted the word "unhindered." This is a word with a very climactic meaning. The advancement of the gospel has continued "unhindered, unstoppable... but still unfinished!" That's where the church today comes in. We're to continue the mission. Acts 1:8 is still our roadmap for today: Be a witness in your Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and end of the earth. -Featuring Bryan Ost
If you like coffee, you're going to love Mike Ayar's second act. Mike ran a highly successful software company for 24 years. With a niche focus, his organization served pest control companies, an industry Mike describes as "the absolute best service business in the world in terms of recurring revenue." In 2002 a private equity company began pursuing the purchase of his company and in 2006 they made him a financial offer "he couldn't refuse." After the purchase, he continued to run the company but finally departed in 2009. Mike had "no idea" what he wanted to do next. A few years earlier, Mike had developed an intense interest in speciality coffee and in particular coffee roasting. Surprisingly, he had never tasted coffee until he turned 45. Waiting for a flight, he entered an airport Starbucks and ordered a double espresso. He was hooked. Mike took a range of courses and seminars from coffee experts around the country. In 2011, he launched Turnstile Coffee Roasters in Belmar, NJ. The company has grown into a thriving cafe which also offers online coffee sales and wholesale services to other coffee shops and area restaurants. It's a family affair with his nephew and two daughters actively engaged in the company. Click here to learn more about Turnstile Coffee Roasters and their seventeen different blends of coffee from Costa Rica, Brazil, Guatamala, Ethiopia, Columbia, Nicarauga, Peru and Indonesia.
Ray is an entrepreneur who grew up in Turkey and now lives in Mexico with his family. Like many, he once believed there was a path he was supposed to follow: after college, he expected to become a computer engineer, build a retirement plan, and retire at 66 to “finally start living life.” But fate had other plans. In 2006, a television commercial changed the course of his life. It posed the question: “If they were to write a book about your life, would anybody want to read it?” Sitting in his condo in Cleveland, Ray realized that on the path he was on, even he wouldn't want to read his own story. That moment sparked a dramatic shift. Within 90 days, he had quit his job, sold everything he owned, and moved to Mexico to volunteer at a research center near the Guatemalan border, serving indigenous communities. It was there that he met his future wife, who happened to be his Spanish teacher. In what he jokes was another case of “impulse control issues,” they decided to get married and start a business together at the same time — a risky move he doesn't necessarily recommend, though it worked out for them. Since 2008, Ray has launched more than 20 profitable companies and sold four of them, many in partnership with his wife. Despite his track record, he admits he still often feels like he doesn't fully know what he's doing — a reminder, he says, that the more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know.

Tune is as Pastor Loïs looks at Paul's journey to Rome in the light of the gospel. Paul faced circumstance, displayed confidence, and experienced God's providence as he went through a severe storm and shipwreck. Through his ordeal, he displayed great balance between spirituality and sanity. Pastor Loïs encouraged us to change our questions, prayer, and interpretation so we better live our calling to go and tell of the good news of Jesus. -Featuring Loïs Renaud
It started with a simple Facebook notification — a reminder to wish her old friend a happy 30th birthday. But there was one problem: he'd been dead for three years. Haunted by guilt for the friendship that ended in silence, she began to notice impossible coincidences — songs playing that mirrored her thoughts, strangers repeating her friend's name, and dreams that felt more like visitations than imagination. When she visited his grave, a bouquet of daffodils — his birth flower — rolled down the hill and stopped at her feet. Soon after, a song came over the radio: “Lace and Flowers on My Grave.” Then came the monarch butterflies, the white feather falling from the sky, and even another dream — this time a final goodbye, with her friend smiling and saying it was all okay. Some would call it coincidence. Others would call it connection. Either way, the message was clear: love doesn't end with death — it simply changes the way it speaks. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #AfterlifeSigns #MessagesFromBeyond #Synchronicity #TrueHaunting #SpiritualConnection #ButterflySigns #DreamVisitations #DaffodilMiracle #GhostStories #LifeAfterDeath #Ghosts Love real ghost stories?

3. Return of Exiles and Rise of Sectarian War American blunders included disbanding the army and Ba'ath party while returning exiles "frozen in time" whom Iraqis distrusted but Americans relied upon. Resistance began with nationalists like Hamid fighting to restore honor, recognizing danger from foreign jihadis flooding borders seeking Islamic state rather than preserving Iraq. Zarqawi facilitated sectarian quagmire but conditions were created by Americans, exiles, and jihadis, with Mahdi Army becoming death squads dumping hundreds of Sunni bodies at Sada dam.
Chapter 10 in this book focuses on faith. It deals with several important questions: Are faith and intellect mutually exclusive? Does Darwinism require faith too? Does believing in intelligent design require a small step of faith or a gigantic leap? Does belief in Darwinism require a small step of faith or a gigantic leap? For skeptics, is your lack of faith in God the result of objective analysis of the evidence or based on your fear of being accountable to Him? purchase book here I'm Gary Zacharias, a professor of English, avid reader, and passionate follower of Jesus Christ.

This week we look at Paul's response to accusations against him as he gives a defense to three main groups— a crowd, a council, and a court. In each encounter, Paul displays great boldness as he respectfully articulates true and rational words. We see purpose in his persecution: the mission of Jesus and the desire to see people come to faith in him. Let's join the mission and allow the Holy Spirit to equip us with moral conduct, conviction, and courage to live and declare biblical truth among a deceived culture, having the desire to see people give their lives to Jesus. -Featuring Ray Grubbs

5. Tarawa, Towers' Rivalry, and the Kwajalein Calculated Risk AUTHOR: Professor Craig Symonds BOOK TITLE: Nimitz at War: Command Leadership from Pearl Harbor to Tokyo Bay The Central Pacific campaign began with the bloody amphibious landing at Tarawa in November 1943. High casualties resulted from a neap tide stranding landing craft on a coral shelf, infuriating Marine General Holland "Howling Mad" Smith. Nimitz had to manage internal conflicts, including Deputy Commander Admiral John Towers, who was foisted upon him by King. Towers was difficult because he believed only aviators should hold carrier command, creating tension with black shoe officers like Nimitz and Spruance. Nimitz, believing in second chances, restored Marc Mitscher to a carrier command, against Spruance's wishes. Learning lessons from Tarawa's bloodshed, Nimitz applied a calculated risk by overriding his subordinates and attacking the main Japanese base at Kwajalein directly, succeeding quickly with minimal loss.
Send us a textTaylor Vogel thought the Marine Corps would give him structure when life had none. After three deployments and a devastating IED blast, he survived but came home unraveled—TBI, PTSD, a bottle within reach, and a family on the line.This isn't a polished comeback—it's a raw story of drifting without roots, wrestling with faith
When a young couple bought their first home in Denver, Colorado, they thought they were starting a dream life — a cozy 1950s ranch with a big backyard for their dog and cat. The previous owner, a 99-year-old woman of Irish heritage, had raised her family there, and the place felt full of history but harmless… at first. The basement was always unsettling — cold, dim, and oppressive — but things turned sinister during a remodel. While tearing out old shelves under the stairs, they discovered a shillelagh, a polished wooden Irish walking stick with green-and-gold tassels, tucked deep into the foundation ledge as if hidden there decades ago. Later, while preparing the house for sale, another disturbing find surfaced: jars hidden above the basement ceiling tiles — one with hair, a nail, and dried liquid; another with a lone dime. Online searches linked them to old “witch bottles” or “witch jars.” Was it coincidence, or had the couple uncovered a decades-old curse or protective spell buried in the basement? The discovery of the shillelagh, the jars, the strange dreams, even the dog's fear of the basement — all seemed connected. This chilling true story asks: Can objects carry dark energy… and can they change the people who disturb them? #HauntedBasement #ShillelaghCurse #DenverHaunting #WitchJars #HauntedHouseStory #BasementSecrets #RealGhostStories #ParanormalObjects #IrishFolkMagic #CreepyDiscoveries Love real ghost stories?
