“Dipsticks, Bribes & Bad Booze: Life in the Lemons Judge's Chair | Everyone Racers Podcast EP 396”In this hilarious and chaotic SS 396 episode of the Everyone Racers Podcast, the gang dives deep into the wild world of Lemons judging—complete with Chevelles, MG propaganda, Cadillac neck tattoos, and dollar store meat thermometers.

In this Wicked Problems – Climate Tech Conversations, we're joined by Gaia Vince, author of Nomad Century, a landmark work on climate-driven migration. From the existential realities of climate displacement to the politics of denial and adaptation, it's about what happens when we stop pretending everyone will stay where they are.It BadLast week, a catastrophic flood hit Kerr County, Texas. 30 cm of rain—four months' worth—fell in hours. The Guadalupe River rose 8 metres in under an hour, swamping the area around Camp Mystic. Over 90 are dead, many of them young girls at the camp. Some are still missing.Cue the blame game. Officials who refused to fund early warning systems claimed the event was unpredictable. Trump-era cuts had gutted the National Weather Service, yet some still pointed fingers at the agency. Others called it karmic justice or MAGA-targeted weather warfare. Conspiracy theorists went further, blaming imaginary geoengineering attacks. Marjorie Taylor-Greene tweeted: “We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.”Right-wing extremists, already attacking Doppler radar sites, turn tragedy into paranoia. In past hurricanes, conspiracy-fueled threats forced rescue crews to withdraw.Rapid attribution studies confirm what should be obvious: climate change makes these once-rare floods far more likely.OK DoomerIn a now-notorious quote, Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki said “it's too late.” Critics pounced, accusing him of defeatism. But, as we discuss with Gaia Vince, the real issue isn't optimism vs pessimism—it's whether we're brave enough to face what's actually happening.After decades in media and PR, I can tell when people are dodging the truth—even for good reasons. In climate comms, there's a lot of that. But we try something different here: saying what we think is true, even if it's hard to hear.On the MoveGaia Vince has been writing about climate and migration for over a decade. In Nomad Century, she argues:Migration is a natural response to climate change—always has been.By 2070, up to 3 billion people may need to move as habitable zones shrink.Governments that prepare for this now will fare better than those that deny it.The book isn't dystopian; it's clear-eyed and pragmatic. It insists we have a choice: chaos, or planned adaptation.In This Conversation01:54 Climate Change's Global Reach04:24 The Reality of Climate Migration09:24 Political Responses to Climate Change10:44 Economic Implications and Adaptation21:57 Innovative Solutions and Future Outlook26:10 Australia and Tuvalu27:06 UN, Sovereignty, and Vanishing Nations29:00 Climate Refugees30:05 Early Agreements30:56 Adaptation and Relocation34:21 Facing the Climate Reality46:55 Can Global Governance Step Up?Get the BookNomad Century: How to Survive the Climate Upheaval remains one of the most honest, practical guides to climate adaptation out there.

The globalist system will cease to exist the way we know it today. EU / Canada panicking, they are trapped in Trump's tariffs, no way out. The [CB] have been pushing more and more taxes on the people, Trump is reversing all of it. The [DS] is losing, they are now resorting to bribes, blackmail, they are deploying everything they have. They are now in a death spiral. Elon is now pushing a new party, this will not split the MAGA party, you will see the moderate D's, RINOS move into this new party, people will see the board very clearly. The D's have lost the power to cheat on scale they once did, they are struggling, this is their last stand and they are afraid because they are about to lose it all.   Economy https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1941566223847915802   expand 1.4% this year, down from the 2.3% projected earlier. Global growth in the first 7 years of this decade is on course to average 2.5%, the slowest for any decade since the 1960s. In total, the World Bank downgraded forecasts for ~70% of all economies. Global economic outlook is worsening. When an Intransigent Resistance Meets an Immovable Object – EU Trade Team Accepting Baseline Tariffs The intransigent European Union are hitting a dead end with immovable Trump on the issue of tariffs.  The resulting dynamic is what we would expect given 75 years of the Marshall Plan (European Recovery Plan) as part of the EU's only point of reference. In order for the EU to maintain their socialistic form of government, they need to continue the economic benefits from one-way tariffs that exploits the American consumer market.  President Trump's plan to force reciprocity is against their entire economic foundation.  The EU simply cannot fathom life without the status quo. In many ways the EU is in the same position as Canada. From their perspective, economic reciprocity is not sustainable; they would have to change their social compacts. This is the core of the conflict. The EU trade delegation hit a brick wall in Washington DC, as the U.S. trade team reiterated the baseline tariffs are not something within the negotiation dynamic. The EU has no power in this dynamic beyond their purchasing power, and if the EU doesn't want to level the purchasing – thereby maintaining a trade deficit, then Trump will equalize the financial imbalance with tariffs. Canada is in the same position, hence their alignment with the EU.

Last week on Fox News the network overhyped an Instagram post of seashells by the seashore, downplayed a flagrant violation of the emoluments clause while barely mentioning that a major a financial services company downgraded the credit rating for the United States.The network also spent an inordinate amount of time trashing the Democratic Party while promoting the idea of a vast conspiracy to cover up Joe Biden's cognitive decline during his presidency.Sean Hannity and Jesse Watters staunchly defended the president's plans to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari government even while their co-hosts and Republican elected officials expressed their doubts.

The timing seems odd and points to political motivations.

-- On the Show: — Trump talks about suspending habeas corpus, a mayor is arrested for protesting, and much of the country shrugs. We explain how normalization is the point—and how authoritarianism doesn't need shock, just your resignation. — From judges being stalked to school boards under threat, we unpack what modern civil war actually looks like—and how the U.S. may already be in one. — Trump's team is openly considering prosecuting Democrats. — Trump's orange spray tan gets more protection from Republicans than the Constitution. A student asks why he's orange—and a GOP rep panics. — We ask the uncomfortable question: what if Trump doesn't even need to finish his term? We explain how Trump was always the vehicle, not the destination—and why J.D. Vance is the backup plan. — RFK Jr. casually admits Trump took $100 million from Big Pharma—and Trump nods. Then the pharma stocks go up. But sure, he “can't be bought.” — MAGA civil war explodes as Trump names a new Surgeon General who's too moderate for the fringe. Anti-vaxxers turn on Trump. RFK Jr. branded controlled opposition. — Rand Paul goes rogue, saying Trump shouldn't accept Qatar's $400 million plane, and admitting tariffs hurt Americans. Somewhere, Jesse Watters faints. — Friday Feedback returns: We respond to questions about the MAGA economy, Trump's spiral, the illusion of civil discourse, and the future of this show. -- On the Bonus Show: Right-wing reactions to Trump getting gifted a $400 million plane from Qatar, and much more...

American taxpayers may have flown Donald Trump to the Middle East, but he's not there to negotiate on behalf of our strategic or national interests—he's on the prowl for goodies, and happy to make policy changes in return. Like, the new Syrian president offering a Trump Tower in Damascus: Zap, sanctions on Syria are over. Or the jumbo jet-giving Qataris requesting that Trump go 'easy' on Iran: 'Not a problem, no sirree.' Sorry to all the hawkish Trump voters out there who thought he'd deliver a maximum pressure campaign on Tehran. Plus, Russia's Potemkin peace talks with Ukraine, and another installment from ICE's cold-blooded deportation campaign.

We go back to the Egyptians, Popes, and even some American scandals to see bribery history and then explore whether the Qatari "gift" of a jet is a bribe.  

This week on The Professional Left, we're asking the question that's suddenly on everyone's mind: "Does motivated reasoning have any limits?" When a president accepts a $400 million jet as a "gift" from Qatar and his administration floats suspending habeas corpus, are we finally reaching a tipping point?We'll explore why even some of the most devoted right-wing voices are squirming uncomfortably as Trump's corruption moves from the shadows into broad daylight. Is this his "Katrina moment," or just another Tuesday in America's descent into authoritarianism?Join us for a deep dive into cults, corruption, and the Constitution as we continue broadcasting from the Cornfield Resistance. Plus, what a little-known DC Comics villain can teach us about the emotional spectrum of greed in politics today.Links for this episode: Oxford Research Encyclopedias, 'Motivated Reasoning and Politics' https://oxfordre.com/politics/politics/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780190228637.001.0001/acrefore-9780190228637-e-923Capitol Fax, Former Gov.

The  Defense:During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, his defense team, led by attorney Teny Geragos, acknowledged Combs's history of violence and temper but firmly denied that his actions constituted sex trafficking, racketeering, or prostitution. Geragos portrayed the case as one centered on "love, jealousy, infidelity, and money," arguing that the relationships in question were consensual adult interactions, including participation in a "swinger's lifestyle." She emphasized that while Combs may have exhibited abusive behavior, the prosecution's attempt to classify these personal relationships as criminal enterprises was a mischaracterization.The defense also sought to humanize Combs, reminding jurors that he is not on trial for being "mean" or a "jerk," but for specific criminal charges that they argue are unfounded. Geragos highlighted that the government's case intrudes into Combs's private life without sufficient legal basis, asserting that the alleged victims were capable individuals who made their own choices. She contended that the prosecution's narrative was an overreach, attempting to criminalize consensual activities and personal flawsto contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:(4) Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial opening statements | CNN

The Prosecution:   During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, prosecutors portrayed him as a powerful figure who led a criminal enterprise over two decades. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson described Combs as having a "larger than life" public persona with a darker side that involved coercing women into drug-fueled sexual encounters and using violence to maintain control. The prosecution alleged that Combs's inner circle, including bodyguards and high-ranking employees, assisted in committing and concealing crimes such as kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. Key evidence includes testimonies from three women—ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, a woman referred to as "Jane," and a former assistant named "Mia"—as well as surveillance footage from a 2016 incident showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.Prosecutors detailed disturbing allegations, including Combs orchestrating events known as "freak-offs," where women were allegedly forced into degrading acts with male sex workers. One specific claim involved Combs instructing a sex worker to urinate in Ventura's mouth during such an event. The prosecution contends that these acts were part of a broader pattern of abuse and exploitation facilitated by Combs's entertainment empire. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:(1) Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial opening statements | CNN

She emphasized that while Combs may have exhibited abusive behavior, the prosecution's attempt to classify these personal relationships as criminal enterprises was a mischaracterization.The defense also sought to humanize Combs, reminding jurors that he is not on trial for being "mean" or a "jerk," but for specific criminal charges that they argue are unfounded. Geragos highlighted that the government's case intrudes into Combs's private life without sufficient legal basis, asserting that the alleged victims were capable individuals who made their own choices.

The Prosecution:   During the opening statements of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking trial, prosecutors portrayed him as a powerful figure who led a criminal enterprise over two decades. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson described Combs as having a "larger than life" public persona with a darker side that involved coercing women into drug-fueled sexual encounters and using violence to maintain control. The prosecution alleged that Combs's inner circle, including bodyguards and high-ranking employees, assisted in committing and concealing crimes such as kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. Key evidence includes testimonies from three women—ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, a woman referred to as "Jane," and a former assistant named "Mia"—as well as surveillance footage from a 2016 incident showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway.Prosecutors detailed disturbing allegations, including Combs orchestrating events known as "freak-offs," where women were allegedly forced into degrading acts with male sex workers. One specific claim involved Combs instructing a sex worker to urinate in Ventura's mouth during such an event. The prosecution contends that these acts were part of a broader pattern of abuse and exploitation facilitated by Combs's entertainment empire. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:(1) Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial opening statements | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The trafficking of weapons meant for warzones often involves complex networks of arms dealers, corrupt officials, and organized crime groups. Here's a summary of how this process generally unfolds:AcquisitionConflict Zones: Weapons are initially acquired from conflict zones, where they are often plentiful due to ongoing wars or civil unrest.Military Surplus: Arms dealers obtain surplus weapons from military stockpiles. These might be obsolete or excess to the needs of the armed forces.Black Market: Weapons can also be sourced from the black market, where they are sold illegally by corrupt military personnel or officials.TransportationSmuggling Routes: Arms dealers use established smuggling routes to transport weapons. These routes often overlap with those used for drug trafficking.Bribes and Corruption: Bribes are paid to corrupt border officials, customs agents, and police to facilitate the smooth transit of weapons across borders.Disguised Shipments: Weapons are hidden in shipments of legal goods, such as food or machinery, to avoid detection.DistributionCriminal Networks: Weapons are sold to organized crime groups, gangs, or other non-state actors. These groups use their existing distribution networks to move the weapons further.Drug Cartels: Arms dealers often trade weapons directly for drugs. This is particularly common in regions where drug cartels operate, as they have both the resources and the demand for firearms.Barter System: In some cases, weapons are bartered for other illicit goods or services, including drugs, making it a mutually beneficial exchange for both parties.Final Sale or TradeEnd Users: The end users of these trafficked weapons can range from gang members and drug cartels to terrorist organizations and insurgent groups.Profit Generation: The sale or trade of weapons for drugs allows arms dealers to profit significantly, which they reinvest into further illegal activities.Market Dynamics: The illicit arms market is influenced by supply and demand. As conflicts flare up or as the need for drugs increases, the trafficking patterns and prices fluctuate accordingly.ImpactViolence and Instability: The influx of trafficked weapons exacerbates violence and instability in both conflict zones and areas plagued by drug-related crime.Enforcement Challenges: Law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in tracking and intercepting these illegal arms due to the sophisticated methods used by traffickers.About a year ago we were having the discussion about MANPADS and other shoulder fired systems falling into the hands of the cartels and the legacy media was quick to deny it.   Well, like usual, it would seem as if the legacy media wasn't exactly telling you the truth.    So in this episode, we are going to swim through the muck and find some clarity.(commercial at 12:59)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Mexican cartels boast of increased firepower, including U.S. weapons (usatoday.com)

Is MAHA being invaded? X users noticed a strange pattern of MAGA influencer accounts posting near-identical oppositions to the removal of sugary soda drinks from the SNAP program. Journalist Nick Sortor alleges the campaign was funded by Big Soda organizations in an attempt to subvert the MAHA movement via a secretive agency called Influenceable. Though it was likely a legitimate sponsorship, the posts did not include FTC disclosures and misleadingly excluded any indications that they were paid promotions. “I strongly lean libertarian and don't care what choices people make – UNLESS they impact others,” writes attorney Tom Renz. “We pay for SNAP and if you are on SNAP you may well also be on Medicaid. I don't want to pay for unhealthy food and then have to turn around and pay for your healthcare because you ate it.” Tom Renz is an attorney from Ohio dedicated to fighting corruption and defending freedom.
