Segment 1 • Pope Leo's use of Matthew 25 misapplies God's Word by turning an individual mandate into a government policy. • Learn from Speaker Mike Johnson's calm, biblical approach to hostile media questions—and why his tone matters for every Christian. • Get a crash course on what the Bible actually says about borders, nations, assimilation, and the role of civil authority. Segment 2 • Watch progressives contradict their past positions on immigration through a shocking AI-generated political montage. • Laugh (and cringe) at a satirical skit where a liberal time-travels to kill Hitler—only to discover eerie ideological overlaps. • Understand how worldview—not just politics—drives modern shifts in culture and moral reasoning. Segment 3 • John Macarthur's heartfelt worship should be a lesson for us all. • Reconsider everything you assumed about the Puritans—especially their deep focus on the love of God. • Hear how a forgotten Puritan voice might be the encouragement you need today if your faith feels more fearful than joyful. Segment 4 • Explore why love, not just justice or wrath, is the central attribute behind God's redemption plan. • Let Octavius Winslow's rich theology flood your soul with hope, assurance, and a fresh view of God's heart. • Fear of God and love from God must coexist—together, they fuel worship, holiness, and evangelism. ___ Thanks for listening!

Divorce can become significantly more complicated when culture, immigration status, or international law are part of the equation. I'm joined by family law attorney Diana Romanov for a conversation about what happens when divorce crosses cultural and international lines.  Diana brings a rare perspective to this work, shaped by her own immigration journey, her legal training, and practice across multiple countries. Together, we unpack how jurisdiction is determined when spouses live in different countries, how cultural norms shape power and decision-making in divorce, and why custody battles often look very different when one parent has been the primary caregiver for most of the marriage. We also dig into the realities of international relocation with children and how courts decide who can move, who can't, and why. At its core, this is about understanding how power, protection, and parenting are negotiated when the rules are shaped by more than one system. What you'll hear about in this episode: How Diana's international background and lived experience as an immigrant informs the way she practices family law and advocates for clients across cultural lines (2:06) What "jurisdiction" really means in international and cross-border divorce (5:00) How cultural norms around gender roles, finances, and marriage can deeply impact the divorce process (11:05) Strategic realities behind custody negotiations, including when equal timeshare is about optics or money rather than actual parenting (13:08) How international and long-distance custody and relocation cases are evaluated, including the factors courts use to decide whether a parent can move with children (24:46) What parents need to understand about documentation, communication, and evidence in high-conflict and cross-border cases (34:40) ✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.

Europe's illegal immigration crisis might be the warning America needs to fix its own before it's too late. According to Laura Ries, director of the border security and immigration center at The Heritage Foundation, America is “kind of on that same path” as countries like the France, Germany, and the U.K.  “The question is… Are we a sovereign nation? Do borders matter? Can we uphold the law? Can we enforce the law? What's happening to Western civilization? And this is a real question for our country.” Follow us on Instagram for EXCLUSIVE bonus content and the chance to be featured in our episodes: https://www.instagram.com/problematicwomen/   Connect with our hosts on socials!   Elise McCue X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=EliseMcCue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisemccueofficial/   Virginia Allen: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=Virginia_Allen5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginiaallenofficial/   Check out Top News in 10, hosted by The Daily Signal's Tony Kinnett: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjMHBev3NsoUpc2Pzfk0n89cXWBqQltHY Learn more about your ad choices.

Unleashed: The Political News Hour with Nate Cain – The show opens with Cain's analysis of how Democrats allegedly rely on cheating to win elections, citing recent events such as the FBI raid on Fulton County's clerk's office for 2020 election evidence and a federal judge blocking President Trump's executive order requiring proof of citizenship for voting. He argues that policies like...

Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy show that asks the important questions — like what genre is your life, why are all malls dying, and how did a World War I artillery shell end up in a man's body?The crew kicks things off by breaking down life as a movie genre. Is Rizz living a straight-up comedy? Is Lern trapped in a rom-com she didn't audition for? Is Moon starring in an action movie with jokes sprinkled in? And is Scott legally obligated to live inside a spaghetti western forever? Spoiler: Rafe's life may be a psychological thriller directed by someone who should not be allowed near a camera.From there, the show takes a nostalgic (and slightly depressing) turn as Eddie Bauer officially joins the retail graveyard. The gang runs through dead mall staples like Borders, Blockbuster, KB Toys, Gadzooks, Sports Authority, and basically your entire childhood. Crestwood Mall gets a full eulogy, Mid Rivers Mall gets absolutely roasted, and everyone agrees: online shopping killed the food court vibes.Then it's Super Bowl chaos. Kid Rock vs. Bad Bunny, alternative halftime shows, cultural representation, and why people are still mad about Maroon 5 years later. The crew also ranks the worst halftime performances of all time, and yes — Adam Levine's shirt removal is still haunting America.In news you didn't know you needed, February is statistically the safest month to not get punched in the face. Science says cold weather equals fewer fights, which leads to personal punch histories, parking-lot ego confessions, and a shocking chair-throwing fail from Australia where a guy absolutely destroys his own friend instead of a bouncer.And just when you think it can't get more unhinged, doctors in France discover a World War I shell inside a patient, triggering a hospital evacuation and a bomb squad visit no one wanted. It's a public service announcement wrapped in a cautionary tale wrapped in “please stop putting stuff there.”The episode also dives into rising U.S. life expectancy (good news!), Branson magician crime headlines (very bad news), and a man attempting to spend an entire year locked in one room to “get healthy,” which the crew debates is either inspiring discipline or a live-streamed mental breakdown.It's another daily comedy show episode that somehow educates, horrifies, and entertains — often at the same time. Laugh, cringe, and maybe stay indoors this February… for your face.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOAustralian man is hit with flying chair thrown by his friend outside strip clubFrenchman hospitalized after inserting WWI munition up his rearMan Has Locked Himself in a Room for 365 Days to Improve His Health — and Is Now Livestreaming His 'Isolation Year' 24/7106-year-old retailer closing US stores in Chapter 11 bankruptcySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pour one out for Eddie Bauer, because today's daily comedy podcast starts with the official death of yet another mall staple — and immediately spirals into a full-blown nostalgia spiral that only The Rizzuto Show could pull off. What starts as bad news for quilted jackets turns into an emotional support group for anyone who ever owned an Eddie Bauer Bronco, Explorer, or vest their dad still refuses to throw away.From there, the crew goes deep into the archives of dead retail dreams. Blockbuster. Borders. KB Toys. Gadzooks. Sam Goody. Tower Records. Crestwood Mall (but ONLY the correct year). Everyone has a store they'd resurrect if given the chance, and the list keeps growing until it becomes painfully clear that malls didn't die — we just stopped going. Mostly because now we can buy everything online while wearing sweatpants and avoiding eye contact.Then things get darker. Way darker. The show reacts in real time to shocking news out of Branson involving a once-famous magician duo now facing serious federal charges. It's uncomfortable, infuriating, and handled the only way this daily comedy show knows how — honest reactions, zero tolerance, and immediate career-ending “ta-da.”Thankfully, the mood rebounds with actual good news (we know, weird): America's life expectancy just hit an all-time high. The crew debates what that means, who's optimistic, who's pessimistic, and whether eating garbage fast food within 100 yards of your house might be holding us back as a nation. Spoiler: it is.But criminals aren't done stealing the spotlight. High-tech thieves are now planting hidden cameras in shrubs to case houses, cloning key fobs to steal luxury vehicles, and proving once again that crime is apparently a tech startup now. The gang swaps personal horror stories about lost keys, cloned cars, and the terrifying realization that someone may have broken into a vehicle… and left because they couldn't drive stick.We wrap with scam text warnings, why replying “STOP” is a trap, and one absolutely unhinged car wash story involving a man who tried to enter through the exit like rules are optional suggestions. All of it adds up to another beautifully chaotic daily comedy show where the news is weird, the nostalgia hurts, and no one should ever trust a magician again.Branson magicians accused of sexual exploitation of childrenBurglars planting hidden cameras to scout Bay Area homesN.J. auto theft ring stole "millions of dollars worth" of vehicles, used Bronx garages as showroomsNEVER respond to junk or spam text messagesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to our Polish Podcast. Hosts Roy and Anja discuss a series of "what if" scenarios — from the collapse of the EU, a third world war, rising pension numbers, human microchips and hidden cancer cures, to space tourism, internet control and home robots.   “Co jeśli” is the Polish way to ask “What if…?”—and in this bite-sized episode you'll say it like a native day-dreamer. First you hear the phrase at real speed, then slowed down so you can copy the soft “ć” and the gentle “jeśli.” We drop it into three imagination-ready sentences: – “Co jeśli zdam ten egzamin?” (What if I pass this exam?) – “Co jeśli się pomylę?” (What if I'm wrong?) – “Co jeśli to zadziała?” (What if it works?) Repeat-along track included—perfect while you stare out the window or plan your next big move. Challenge: DM us your boldest Polish “Co jeśli…” question and we'll answer it in next week's episode.  

Kyle Crooks sits down with assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Padyn Borders to recap the Huskers last matchup with Illinois and look ahead. Both dive into his recruiting responsibilities and how the landscape has changed nationally.

In this episode, Allie confronts the growing accusations of “Christian nationalism” against conservative Christians, especially over immigration enforcement and support for ICE, by responding directly to viral posts from progressive Christian figures like Ben Cremer and John Pavlovitz. She defines what Christian nationalism actually is (and isn't), explains why every worldview inevitably shapes law and public policy, and lays out a biblical case for national borders, pro‑life laws, and a Christian view of government. Allie exposes how progressive Christians often conflate the kingdom of God with America, misuse “welcome the stranger” passages to justify open borders, and deploy toxic empathy and inflammatory rhetoric that unfairly paints white evangelicals as the source of America's problems. Progressive Catholics aren't safe either, as Allie highlights Catholicism's social justice problem by examining statements by figures like Pope Leo XIV. This episode is a must‑listen for anyone wrestling with the debate over Christian nationalism, the Anti-ICE riots in Minnesota, abortion, biblical justice, and politics in the church.

Spain's government will grant legal status to undocumented migrants currently living in the country. The decree, passed after years of grassroots campaigning, will potentially impact about 500,000 migrants and comes in stark contrast to the anti-immigration sentiment in other EU countries. Why has the Spanish government decided to embrace its migrant population now?

In this episode, we examine proposals that would restrict or revoke U.S. citizenship, including the constitutional limits on forced renunciation, dual citizenship, and the government's authority to define who belongs. We discuss population policy, free movement in Europe, and Supreme Court precedents that constrain state power over individual status. We also break down a sharp drop in the dollar, revisit the failures of mercantilism, and touch on the cultural politics surrounding Bill Belichick and the Hall of Fame. We then turn to firearms, protest, and political hypocrisy, looking closely at gun violence data, international bans, and the selective application of constitutional principles. We close by exploring free speech, due process, religious freedom, and what happens when rights give way to raw power, from domestic politics to authoritarian regimes abroad. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:32 The Exclusive Citizenship Act Explained 01:16 Forced Renunciation and Dual Citizenship Risks 02:30 Could the Government Strip Citizenship? 03:47 Population Reduction and the “100 Million Americans” Idea 05:20 European Passports, Borders, and Free Movement 06:57 Supreme Court Limits on Revoking Citizenship 08:32 Compelled Speech and Constitutional Conflicts 09:46 The Dollar's Worst Day and Weak Currency Politics 11:17 Mercantilism and Why Economists Rejected It 12:51 Bill Belichick and the Politics of the Hall of Fame 15:34 Minnesota Shooting and the Second Amendment Flip 16:46 When and Why People Carry Guns 18:32 What the Data Really Says About Gun Violence 21:01 International Gun Bans and Substitution Effects 22:11 Protests, Firearms, and Political Hypocrisy 24:12 Republicans, Democrats, and Reversed Principles 27:39 Principles vs Preferences in Constitutional Rights 30:11 Do People Actually Believe in Free Speech? 31:35 Rights as a Defense Against Totalitarianism 32:14 Religion, the First Amendment, and Equal Treatment 33:58 The Taliban, Education, and Religious Absolutism 37:09 Why the Second Amendment Became Politically Unique 39:03 Political Violence and State Power 41:16 Due Process, Federal Force, and Law Enforcement Norms Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we'll be talking about the dangerous level of pollution in Bangkok as the city pushes for more work-from-home measures, Thai political parties riding nationalist currents amid rising border tensions, and a little later, a Thai fugitive being extradited to the US for murder charges after nearly 30 years on the run.

In this episode of AUA News Inside Tract, Dr. Mark Gonzalgo, professor of urology at the University of Miami and Chair of the AUA Office of Education, speaks with Dr. Rigoberto Pallares-Mendez, attending urologist at Hospital General Tijuana and Hospital Ángeles Tijuana, about his experience as an AUA Exchange Scholar. Dr. Pallares-Mendez shares his path into urology, his passion for robotic surgery, and insights gained from training in Miami. Together, they explore differences between U.S. and Mexican healthcare systems, the importance of mentorship and systems-based practice, and how global exchange programs help elevate patient care across borders.

What if the numbers don't lie—but the system does?

Alex Tsepaev, Chief Strategy Officer at B2Prime, shares how the firm is scaling global crypto and TradFi operations under a unified compliance model.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we're serving up a mix of quirky industry moves, regulatory updates, and progress on medical access across the UK and beyond: Macky kicks things off with a slightly unexpected crossover, as the cannabis industry teams up with chefs in a push to stand out. Including one story involving mustard that definitely raised a few eyebrows. A reminder that branding and creativity are becoming just as important as the product itself. Dr. Margaret brings some serious industry news, as Aurora secures EU Community Plant Variety Rights for two of its genetics. A move that highlights how intellectual property and plant protection are becoming increasingly important in the European market. John covers political developments in the US, where a new bipartisan congressional bill aims to regulate hemp-derived products. A sharp contrast to a recent ban signed by Trump. We look at what this could mean for consumers, producers, and the wider regulatory landscape. And Smee returns to rounds things out closer to home, with news that SOSE and the Scottish Borders Council are supporting a medicinal cannabis facility in the Borders. A potentially significant step for regional development and patient access. Another packed episode blending the strange, the serious, and the genuinely promising developments shaping the industry.

Crypto Power Shift: XRP | Canada Losing Alberta | Europe Exposed Crypto is no longer on the sidelines — it's moving into the center of global power. In tonight's On The Chain livestream, we break down the Crypto Power Shift, including why XRP and digital assets are increasingly tied to institutional adoption, regulation, and national strategy. As the United States positions itself as the global crypto capital, the ripple effects are being felt worldwide. We then turn to Canada, where growing tension between Alberta and Ottawa is raising serious questions about political alignment, economic sovereignty, and the future of the federation. Alberta's pushback is no longer theoretical — it's becoming a real pressure point with national consequences. Finally, we expose what's happening across Europe. From Germany and Hungary to the UK and beyond, cracks are forming between leadership, policy, and public reality. Immigration, borders, elections, and economic control are all converging into a moment of reckoning. This episode connects: • XRP and the crypto power shift • U.S. crypto policy and global influence • Alberta's role in Canada's internal struggle • Europe's political and economic exposure • Borders, sovereignty, and voter integrity This isn't about headlines or hype. It's about who controls money, borders, and legitimacy in a rapidly changing world.

7. Guest Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Headline: Globalist Elites and the End of Sovereignty. Summary: Hanson characterizes "Davos Man" as a global elite class seeking to transcend national borders and impose a technocratic, one-world government. He argues these elites use crises like climate change and the pandemic to seize power and bypass democratic consent, aiming to erase national distinctiveness.1927 MANHATTAN LINDBERGH AND MAYOR JIMMIE WALKER

Though Wisconsin hasn't been faced with the major ICE raids as we've seen in LA, Chicago, and Minneapolis, there is growing concern that ICE will arrive in Wisconsin. Governor Evers said this week that the state is preparing for this inevitability. To talk about ICE raids and the larger context of anti-immigrant sentiment in the US, host Allen Ruff is joined by Armando Ibarra.  Ibarra works with Voces de la Frontera, an organization with deep roots in Wisconsin. Founded in 1994, the organization responded to the displacement of people from NAFTA. Over the years Voces has helped more than 16,500 families create “family disruption plans” and has held “know your rights” sessions for more than 30,000 people across Wisconsin. Voces de la Frontera will be holding its annual assembly this weekend. Ibarra also discusses the US as a land of immigrants in a land of anti-immigrants, from colonization,  Westward expansion, and the Chinese Exclusion Act, to the present. Ibarra says that the US is no longer pretending not to be an empire, as we've seen with the Trump  administration's aggression in Latin America.  They also discuss the Supreme Court ruling that legitimizes racial profiling, the reframing of protest as “domestic terrorism,” the rise of state-sanctioned violence against immigrants, and the 287(g) programs that deputize local law enforcement to act as immigration agents. Voces organizes a 24-7 emergency ICE hotline at 1-800-427-0213. Armando Ibarra is a Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor in the School for Workers. He's the co-author of the award winning book, The Latino Question: Politics, Labouring Classes and the Next Left.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we tackle the pressing issue of trade enforcement and the crucial legislation aimed at leveling the playing field with China. Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne joins us to discuss her pivotal Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act, which seeks to address the unfair advantages that have allowed China to manipulate trade practices at the expense of American workers. She explains how the legislation aims to close loopholes that have enabled Chinese goods to circumvent tariffs and emphasizes the bipartisan support it has garnered in Congress.As the conversation unfolds, we delve into the broader implications of trade practices and the urgent need for accountability in how taxpayer dollars are being utilized. Congresswoman Van Dyne sheds light on the ongoing investigations into nonprofit organizations and their potential connections to fraudulent schemes, particularly in Minnesota. She emphasizes the importance of ensuring that taxpayer money is not funneled into corrupt operations that undermine American values and security.Furthermore, we discuss the potential historic moment in Congress regarding former President Bill Clinton's refusal to testify and the implications of holding a former president in contempt. Congresswoman Van Dyne shares her thoughts on the need for accountability and the expectation that no one is above the law, highlighting the critical role of transparency in government.Next, we welcome the acclaimed investigative journalist Peter Schweizer, whose latest book, "The Invisible Coup," exposes the alarming realities of weaponized immigration in America. Schweitzer reveals how foreign entities, particularly from China and Mexico, have established extensive political networks within the U.S. aimed at undermining American sovereignty and advancing their own interests.We delve into the historical context of these tactics, tracing their roots back to the 1970s and highlighting significant events like the we welcome the acclaimed investigative journalist Peter Schweitzer, whose latest book, "The Invisible Go," exposes the alarming realities of weaponized immigration in America.

Schweizer details how the Biden administration's policies have exacerbated this crisis, opening the floodgates to mass migration that he argues is part of a broader strategy to reclaim lost territories.Schweizer sheds light on the vast political infrastructure of Mexico in the U.S., including an impressive number of consulates actively engaging in domestic politics and supporting Democratic initiatives. He emphasizes the unacceptable nature of foreign interference in American elections and discusses the implications of birthright citizenship, particularly as it relates to organized efforts by foreign governments to manipulate U.S. immigration laws.

We delve into the implications of this event and discuss the broader context of religious freedom in America.Joining us is JP De Gance, founder and president of Communio National Ministry, who shares his insights on the stark contrast between the current administration and its predecessor regarding support for the faith community. J.P. highlights the positive steps taken by President Trump to bolster Christian values, including the establishment of the White House faith office and the open discussions of faith among administration officials.As we reflect on the challenges faced by Christians today, JP emphasizes the need for swift action against those who threaten religious liberty. He argues that the Minneapolis incident represents a troubling escalation in the left's war on Christianity, calling for decisive legal repercussions to deter future attacks on places of worship.Furthermore, we discuss the responsibilities of pastors and church leaders in advocating for their congregations and the importance of engaging with elected officials to safeguard religious freedoms. JP stresses that the protection of religious liberty must be prioritized and that the community must hold authorities accountable to prevent such disruptions from occurring again.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

China's Quest for Legitimacy and Defense. Guest: GREGORY COPLEY. The Chinese Communist Party yearns for ancient China's legitimacy while defending its modern borders. Rather than traditional imperial expansion, Chinaemploys "total war" non-military means. However, the state currently faces a crisis of sovereignty as it implodes internally under disproven totalitarian models and intensifying defensive pressures.1903 QING DYNASTY DOWAGER EMPRESS

Lessons from the Superpower's Economic Resurgence. Guest: GREGORY COPLEY. The 21st century reveals that nations prioritizing energy security and enforced borders tend to succeed. President Trump's focus on manufacturing and cheap energy has bolstered the U.S. economy, positioning it as an unchallenged superpower. However, his dynamic approach often alienates allies while redefining grand strategy.1940 ALLENTOWN BUS

In this episode, Alex traces a straight line from Whren v. United States to today's visa regime. He begins with the Supreme Court's decision in Whren, a case that formally declared motive irrelevant—so long as the government can point to a legal justification. That ruling didn't just reshape policing; it normalized pretext as a governing principle. From there, Alex turns to the State Department, where that same logic quietly operates at a global scale. Visa decisions are framed as neutral exercises of discretion, but in practice they rely on opaque standards, unchecked power, and assumptions that map closely onto race, nationality, and perceived threat. Like traffic stops after Whren, denials don't need to admit bias—only a technically lawful reason. This episode argues that what looks like bureaucratic routine is actually the afterlife of Whren: a legal architecture that insulates discrimination by calling it discretion. From domestic policing to border control, we examine how law creates plausible deniability—and how entire populations pay the price.

How did modern territoriality emerge and what are its consequences? From Frontiers to Borders: How Colonial Technicians Created Modern Territoriality (Cambridge UP, 2025) examines these key questions with a unique global perspective. Kerry Goettlich argues that linear boundaries are products of particular colonial encounters, rather than being essentially an intra-European practice artificially imposed on colonized regions. He reconceptualizes modern territoriality as a phenomenon separate from sovereignty and the state, based on expert practices of delimitation and demarcation. Its history stems from the social production of expertise oriented towards these practices. Employing both primary and secondary sources, From Frontiers to Borders examines how this expertise emerged in settler colonies in North America and in British India – cases which illuminate a range of different types of colonial rule and influence. It also explores some of the consequences of the globalization of modern territoriality, exposing the colonial origins of Boundary Studies, and the impact of boundary experts on the Paris Peace Conference of 1919–20. Dr Kerry Goettlich is an International Relations scholar whose work draws on original historical research to reframe theoretical debates about international politics, particularly around issues of territory and borders. His current work deals with the history of the legal and moral prohibition of territorial conquest. He is an associate professor at City St George's, University of London. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Headlines shout about border crises while our feeds trade compassion for outrage, but the deeper question remains: how do we love the stranger without surrendering the order that protects the weak? Jack takes a hard look at the images and ideas shaping public imagination, starting with the Holy Family's flight into Egypt and what it actually means for modern immigration debates. Egypt was a Roman province, not an alien nation; the story teaches refuge from a tyrant, not a mandate for lawlessness or open borders.Drawing on St. John Paul II's distinction between emigrants and immigrants, we examine how language quietly shifts blame from failed regimes that expel people to host nations struggling to respond. Borders exist to serve justice, not to erase it; ordered hospitality protects both citizens and newcomers.The goal is a community able to welcome the stranger while preserving the very foundations that make welcome possible—family, faith‑shaped virtues, and the common good.Read Jack's Article: Charity Without Illusion: Immigration, Prudence, and the Christian MemoryFollow us on XIf this conversation challenged you or clarified something you've felt but couldn't name, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review with the one question you want us to tackle next.Support the show

Episode #111 – Gil Gillenwater: Hope, Borders & Helping Without Handouts In this episode, I sit down with Gil Gillenwater — author, traveler, and humanitarian — to talk about his book Hope On The Border and the life experiences that led him to write it. Gil has spent years working in Mexico and along the U.S.–Mexico border, where he's seen firsthand what meaningful help actually looks like. We talk about service that empowers instead of enables, the realities of cross-border work, and the personal cost of choosing to show up in difficult places. Gil also shares stories of intense and sometimes scary travel encounters that shaped his worldview and reinforced why hope isn't passive — it's practiced. In this episode, we talk about: ·         What inspired Hope On The Border and the stories behind it ·         Working in Mexico and navigating cultural, emotional, and logistical challenges ·         Helping people without taking away their dignity or self-reliance ·         Scary and unpredictable moments while traveling — and what they taught him ·         Why real hope shows up through presence, not handouts About Gil Gillenwater Gil works with communities in Mexico through Rancho Feliz, focusing on connection, empowerment, and long-term impact rather than quick fixes. His approach centers on listening first and serving in ways that respect people's humanity. Learn more about Gil and his work here:

SHIFTING BORDERS AND THE FIGHT FOR GALICIAN IDENTITY Colleague Professor Eugene Finkel. Finkel shares the story of his grandfather, Israel (Lev), a Jew from Galicia who was drafted into the Red Army despite growing up in Poland without speaking Russian. This illustrates the complex history of western Ukraine, which experienced Austrian tolerance regarding language compared to Russian repression and forced assimilation elsewhere. Finkel notes that Russian fear of Ukrainian nationalism in Galicia was a key driver for World War I. Following the 1917 Russian Empire collapse, a short-lived Ukrainian state emerged, but the region was eventually partitioned between the Soviet Union and Poland in 1939. NUMBER 21863 UKRAINE

The Growing Tax Strike Movement. Thousands Refuse to Pay Taxes. The Scam That Revealed How Broken the AMERICAN TAX System Is! The Minnesota daycare fraud didn't just steal billions — it shattered the social contract. People work, pay taxes, and expect basic enforcement. What they got instead was a system with no guardrails, no urgency, and no accountability. When fraud is tolerated at scale, trust collapses — not just in government, but in the entire structure holding society together.

In 2026 a return to our core principles as a nation will be the paramount goal. Constraints on power are reasserting themselves. System memory returns. Back to the founder's concepts. Federalism by friction. Borders will be redrawn not in ink, but in practice. Somali's were targeted for specific reasons. We'll hear about currency zones and sovereignty blocks. Europe is changing fast too. UK won't dissolve but unity is weakening. The world sees old rules no longer apply. Conformity is unenforceable. The eighth and ninth Amendments will be key. Power will flow back to the states. This is basic political physics and not rebellion. The economic hardships are real. Traditional structure will win and systems will stop pretending. America 250 matters. Trump's statements on the new year give hints. He won't be around forever. Since 2013, the power has returned to the people. Ohio minimized it's own state's constitution and invited federal overreach. That's important. Empires last about 250 years. Traditional colonialism is returning. China security buildup happening in the Sahel. There's South America and aliens too. Hardships are lessons. So much reckoning is coming. Above it all, President Trump is slowly and carefully returning power to the people.
