On January 6, 2007, Channon Christian (21) and Christopher Newsom (23) went on a date. They were young, in love, and planning to attend a friend's birthday party.They never arrived. What happened to Channon and Chris over the next 36 hours is known as one of the most brutal crime sprees in Tennessee history. But before we discuss the horror, we need to know who they were, the real people behind the headlines, the beloved children whose families would spend 18 years fighting for justice.This four-part series tells their complete story: the victims, the crimes, the trials, the judicial scandal that forced retrials, and the lasting legacy. In this episode, let's learn who Channon Gail Christian and Hugh Christopher Newsom Jr. were. Not as victims, but as the vibrant, beautiful people they were.Support ResourcesFor Survivors of Violence:https://www.rainn.org/ - RAINN (1-800-656-4673)https://www.thehotline.org/ - National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233)https://www.crisistextline.org/ - Crisis Text Line (Text HOME to 741741)https://988lifeline.org/ - 988 Suicide & Crisis LifelineFor Families of Murder Victims:https://www.pomc.org/ - Parents of Murdered Childrenhttps://victimsofcrime.org/ - National Center for Victims of Crimehttps://www.ncvc.org/ - National Crime Victim Law InstituteSources:https://www.newspapers.com/ (Historical archive - subscription required)https://www.knoxnews.com/ (Search "Christian Newsom" for extensive archive)https://abcnews.go.com/ (Search "Channon Christian")https://www.cnn.com/ (Coverage of trials and scandal)https://www.foxnews.com/ (Michelle Malkin coverage 2007)https://www.wbir.com/ (WBIR-TV extensive trial coverage)https://www.wate.com/ (WATE 6 On Your Side)https://www.wvlt.tv/ (WVLT Local 8 News)https://www.tncourts.gov/ (Tennessee State Courts)https://www.tsc.state.tn.us/ (Tennessee Supreme Court opinions)https://www.knoxcounty.org/criminal/ (Knox County Criminal Court)https://law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/ (Tennessee case law database)https://scholar.google.com/ (Search: "State v.

In a development that has raised serious questions about transparency and accountability, the Bureau of Prisons has reportedly terminated the employee who exposed Ghislaine Maxwell's preferential treatment while in federal custody. Rather than address why a convicted sex trafficker was receiving unusual accommodations — including a relocation that has never been fully explained — officials chose instead to penalize the individual who alerted the public. The agency's justification rests on claims of “policy violations” and unauthorized communication with the media, a defense that has done little to dispel concerns that the move was designed to suppress scrutiny rather than uphold procedure. For observers, the timing and severity of the response appear less like a personnel issue and more like a concerted effort to control the narrative surrounding Maxwell's conditions.The decision has intensified frustration among survivors, advocates, and members of the public who have demanded answers about how and why Maxwell has been treated differently from other federal inmates. Rather than clarifying who approved her transfer, why she was granted amenities rarely afforded to prisoners, or what internal discussions led to these decisions, the focus has shifted toward silencing the whistleblower. The optics are stark: a system that has repeatedly resisted transparency in the Epstein-Maxwell case now punishing the one person attempting to shed light on it. The unresolved questions remain central: Who authorized the move? What motivated it? And why has the response to legitimate inquiry been discipline instead of disclosure? Until those questions are answered, concerns about a deepening institutional coverup will only continue to grow.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com'source:Nurse is fired after revealing Ghislaine Maxwell's VIP treatment at comfortable new federal prison where she has access to puppy | Daily Mail Online

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: @NativeAmerican_ on X Code Talker Thomas H. BegayThomas H. Begay was born on November 26, 1926, in a traditional Navajo hogan in a remote area south of Gallup, New Mexico, near Chichiltah and is one of the two last surviving Code Talkers from WWII. He grew up speaking only the Navajo language until age 13, when he was sent to an Indian boarding school in Fort Defiance, Arizona, where he learned English. Inspired by the attack on Pearl Harbor, Begay enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at age 16 in September 1943, though his age was considered flexible at the time. Military Service Initially aspiring to become an aerial gunner, Begay was instead selected for the Navajo Code Talkers program due to his fluency in Navajo. He completed specialized training and was assigned to the 5th Marine Division's Signal Company, specifically the 27th Marine Regiment. As one of approximately 400 Navajo Code Talkers, he helped develop and use an unbreakable code based on the Navajo language (Diné) to transmit secure messages during World War II. He served in the Pacific theater, notably during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945, where he was sent as a replacement for a Code Talker killed in action. On the first day of the battle, two Code Talkers were killed and three wounded; Begay transmitted hundreds of error-free messages, contributing to the Allies' success by confounding Japanese codebreakers. He was honorably discharged from the Marines in July 1946. In 1947, Begay reenlisted in the U.S. Army as a communications specialist and paratrooper with the 7th Infantry Division. He saw intense combat during the Korean War, including surviving the brutal Battle of the Chosin Reservoir in late 1950. He left the military in 1953. Post-War Life and Career After his military service, Begay worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for 40 years on the Navajo Nation reservation. He began as an employment assistance officer, helping Navajos access jobs and education, and advanced to Agency Superintendent of the Chinle Agency, overseeing tribal trust programs. Motivated by his own experiences, he encouraged others, stating, "If I can be a Code Talker, any Navajo can go out and be anything." Begay has remained active in the Navajo Code Talkers Association, traveling to speak publicly, and has written and performed songs in Navajo about World War II. He resides in Window Rock, Arizona, and is described as a community leader and family man. Honors and Legacy Begay's military honors include the Presidential Unit Citation with three Bronze Stars, the Meritorious Unit Citation, and the Korean Service Medal with five Bronze Stars. In 2001, he was awarded the Congressional Silver Medal for his service as a Navajo Code Talker. In 2023, he served as the World War II Veteran Grand Marshal in the Phoenix Veterans Day Parade. As of November 2025, at age 98 (turning 99), Begay is one of only two surviving Navajo Code Talkers, alongside Peter MacDonald. His contributions symbolize Indigenous valor, resilience, and the pivotal role of Navajo Code Talkers in U.S. military history. honoringamericasveterans.org ___________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, and Monical’s PizzaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers President Trump's accusation of sedition against former intelligence and military officials, the deeper pattern of political activism inside America's security agencies, the White House's meeting with New York City's socialist mayor elect, new economic and immigration data, and a sprawling welfare scandal involving Somali migrants in Minnesota. Trump Accuses Former Intel and Military Officials of Sedition: A group of Democratic lawmakers and former intelligence and military officers released a video urging current service members to refuse "illegal orders" from President Trump. Senator Elissa Slotkin and Representative Jason Crow admitted they could not name any unlawful orders but again labeled Trump a fascist and a Nazi. Trump responded by calling their actions sedition and said they should be arrested and tried, adding that such offenses can be punishable by death. Bryan argues the video is part of a ten-year pattern of partisan activism from former security officials who wrap themselves in patriotism while advancing political goals. A Personal Warning About the Deep State: Bryan recounts cases involving Ned Price, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith, and the fifty one former intelligence officials who misled the public about Hunter Biden's laptop. He describes how some officials use the cachet of CIA or military service to shield partisan motives. He also reflects on his former boss, Jennifer Matthews, and objects to her being used for political gain. Trump Hosts New York City's Socialist Mayor Elect: President Trump will meet Zohran Mamdani, the mayor elect of New York City, who openly identifies as a Marxist. Mamdani insists the NYPD will not assist federal deportation efforts, even for violent offenders held at Rikers Island. He says the meeting will focus on public safety and affordability. Bryan questions the wisdom of giving such a figure a platform inside the White House. Economic Signals Improve for Housing and Jobs: Mortgage rates have fallen to about 6.25 percent. Rent prices are dropping in many cities and analysts tie the trend to Trump's deportation operations, which have reduced demand for rental units. Job growth in September exceeded expectations, with 119,000 new positions. Native born workers filled most new roles while foreign-born workers lost ground. Wages are growing faster than inflation. Manufacturing orders appear strong, but exact data are delayed due to the recent shutdown. Tariff Adjustments and Manufacturing Investments: The White House lifted remaining tariffs on Brazilian goods such as beef and coffee to ease grocery prices. GE Appliances will shift more production to Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee due to U.S. tariffs and competitive pressure from Whirlpool. China unexpectedly resumed large soybean purchases and placed a new wheat order, giving U.S. farmers encouraging news. Border Crossings Fall and Medical Strain Eases: Hospitals near San Diego report a dramatic drop in injuries among migrants who fall from the border wall. Emergency rooms say they can finally prioritize American patients because crossings have fallen to lows not seen since the 1970s. Judges Block National Guard Deployments: A federal judge in Washington blocked Trump's deployment of the National Guard to the capital despite clear data showing that Guard operations sharply reduced crime. Similar rulings in Memphis and other cities reflect what Bryan describes as political obstruction at the expense of public safety. Somali Welfare Fraud Funds Terrorism Abroad: City Journal reports that Somali migrants in Minneapolis defrauded Minnesota's Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program of hundreds of millions of dollars. The money was routed to clan networks and to al-Shabaab in Somalia, making Minnesota taxpayers one of the largest funders of the terror group. More than fifty individuals have been charged. Bryan warns that state leaders have tried to minimize or dismiss the scandal for fear of appearing xenophobic. FBI Analyst Fired After Displaying Pride Flag: An FBI trainee claims he was terminated for displaying a Pride flag at work. The Bureau denies this. Bryan discusses his own experience serving alongside gay and lesbian officers and argues that all personal politics, identities, and symbols should be left outside the workplace so that the mission remains the focus.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump sedition accusation Slotkin Crow, former intel officials illegal orders video, Deep State political activism, Zohran Mamdani socialist NYC mayor elect, mortgage rates falling deportation effect, GE Appliances reshoring tariffs, China soybean wheat purchases, San Diego border crossings ER cases, National Guard deployment ruling DC, Minneapolis Somali welfare fraud al-Shabaab, FBI pride flag firing claim

It's the Ranch It Up Radio Show Herd It Here Weekly Report!  A 3-minute look at cattle markets, reports, news info, or anything that has to do with those of us who live at the end of dirt roads.  Join Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt, the Boss Lady Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' by subscribing on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. EPISODE 108 DETAILS Meat Company CEO Warns of $10 Dollar Ground Beef How high can the price of beef go?  Some speculate 10 ground beef is not out of the question.  Omaha Steaks President and CEO Nate Rempe cautioned the nation's shrinking cattle supply and record demand are driving a $10 dollar a pound reality that could stretch family budgets for years.  He said "We are headed for what I'm calling … the $10-a-pound reality. By [the] third quarter of '26, families are gonna see $10 a pound [for] ground beef in the grocery store. So we're in for a bit of a haul here," he continued. "I don't believe we'll see price[s] come down in any meaningful way until sometime in 2027."  Beef prices are at a record high after a drought left cattle inventory at the lowest level in 70 years. According to the latest consumer price index data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, beef and veal prices rose 14.7% year-over-year in September, while uncooked ground beef was up 12.9%. Secretary of Agriculture Brook Rollins suggested former President Joe Biden's “literal war on cattle” is responsible for soaring beef prices.  During an interview on Fox Business Monday morning, Rollins said there were some “important factors” that have contributed to the average price of ground beef rising by 14% per pound since January.  Rollins said the first is this, we are suffering from the last administration's literal war on cattle.  They wanted to reduce the herd sizes because they believe that cattle caused climate change.   REFERENCES:  https://www.nj.com/politics/2025/11/top-trump-official-says-bidens-war-on-cattle-is-to-blame-for-soaring-beef-prices.html  https://www.fox4news.com/news/beef-prices-could-hit-10-pound-soon-omaha-steaks-ceo-warns  Upcoming Bull & Heifer Sales On RanchChannel.Com Lot's of bull and heifer sales coming up on the RanchChannel.Com sale calendar.  Check out the full line up HERE.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for November 20, 2025. 0:30 We are sounding the alarm because six Democratic members of Congress put out a video telling U.S. service members they can “refuse illegal orders.” That may sound fine on this surface, but this video isn’t about law at all. It’s about planting the idea that orders from President Trump himself are somehow optional. We break down what the Constitution says about following the president's orders and how this video is just another attempt to delegitimize President Trump. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Economy added 119,000 jobs in September. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has put a halt to a new California law that would have required companies all across the country to post on their website all of their carbon emissions. Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has been indicted for campaign finance fraud. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 The discussion of the "refuse illegal orders" video continues, and we're calling out the Democrats' hypocrisy. The Democrats want to label January 6th an “insurrection,” but that label is far more fitting for the video that these six Democratic lawmakers put out. And isn't funny that these lawmakers never identify any supposed unlawful orders? This isn't harmless political theater. 16:00 The American Mamas tackle a difficult listener question: When a couple divorces, should they tell the kids if infidelity was involved? Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson explore different perspectives on honesty, timing, protecting children, and how to handle complicated situations when emotions are high. The conversation highlights how every family’s circumstances are different — and why compassion and careful communication matter. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We react to Senator Bernie Moreno's claim that "the American dream is dead." While the last four years under Biden were undeniably brutal for working families, America’s promise isn’t gone—just bruised by bad policy. 25:30 We Dig Deep into a jaw-dropping investigation out of Minnesota that traces massive state-funded fraud back to the wave of Somali refugees resettled during the Obama administration. We walk listeners through explosive reporting from City Journal showing how tens of millions—eventually hundreds of millions—of taxpayer dollars from housing and autism-related programs were siphoned off through fake clients, fake services, and kickback schemes run predominantly by individuals tied to the Somali refugee community in Minneapolis. The numbers are staggering: programs that were supposed to cost a couple million ballooning to over $100 million… autism funding exploding from $3 million to $399 million… and remittances being funneled overseas at such scale that U.S. Somali residents send more money abroad than Somalia’s entire national budget. And the part that stops everyone in their tracks? DOJ tracing significant chunks of that money straight into the accounts of terrorist group Al-Shabaab—leading to the chilling conclusion that Minnesota taxpayers have become the largest funders of Al-Shabaab. 32:00 Get TrimROX from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:00 We break down how, throughout history, communist regimes have always feared religion—not because prayer is dangerous, but because faith gives people something the state can’t tolerate: hope, identity, and loyalty that doesn’t flow through government power. It's no coincidence that Zoran Mamdani said that no issue is too small for the government to meddle in. The lefts wants the government to become like God. 35:30 Plus, Thanksgiving dinner is actually getting cheaper this year, and that's a Bright Spot. We break down the newest numbers from the American Farm Bureau and talk about what the drop in costs says about affordability, the economy, and why it’s a bright spot worth celebrating. 40:00 We dive into Megan Rapinoe’s latest comments on transgender athletes in women’s sports—and, yes, her unexpected comparison involving Landon Donovan’s hairline. According to Rapinoe, men in women's supports is comparable to a coach wearing a hearpiece. Her argument has us saying, "Whoa."

Send us a textIn this episode, we explore President Trump's nomination of longtime law-enforcement veteran Robert Cekada to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. We break down Cekada's extensive background inside the ATF, the response from gun-rights organizations, and the potential impact of his leadership on the agency's future. We also look at the historical challenges that have made confirming an ATF director one of the most politically difficult appointments in Washington — including decades of stalled nominations, lobbying pressure, and long stretches without a Senate-confirmed leader. This episode gives listeners clear context, deep analysis, and a grounded understanding of why this nomination matters and what it could mean for firearms policy, enforcement, and national security moving forward.saf.orgsubscribe to my newsletterFollow this link and get $25 in ammo.Fountain Podcast AppFollow me on FountainFollow twitter @JeffDowdleFollow me on Truth Social - @JeffDowdleConvention of States ProjectPresearch search engine sign up.Brave BrowserFind our Representativeemail me at jeff@livetoshoot.comSupport the showSupport the show

GB2RS News Sunday, the 23rd of November The news headlines: Could your skills and experience support the RSGB Board? Let the Society know your plans for British Science Week 2026 The RSGB is looking for a volunteer Accessibility Champion Do you have skills and experience that would make you an asset to the RSGB Board? The RSGB elections process has begun, and there are two routes to becoming a Board Director. This week's focus is on Nominated Directors, and there are two vacancies this year. Nominated Directors are selected by the Society's Nominations Committee, and then the RSGB membership votes to endorse them at the AGM. The closing date for these vacancies is the 5th of December 2025, so don't delay! There is no functional difference between a Nominated or Elected Director, and all serve the Board in the same way for a three-year term. If you'd like to know more about what is required of an RSGB Board Director, the first step is to read the candidate pack for Elected Directors on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/elections  After that, if you'd like to express your interest in being a Nominated Director or would like an informal chat, email the RSGB Company Secretary, Stephen Purser, GW4SHF via company.secretary@rsgb.org.uk Preparations for British Science Week 2026 are already well underway. RSGB British Science Week Co-ordinator Professor Ian Neal, G7IGN, is working on guidance and activity suggestions that you could use to get involved. The annual event is a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths and is run by the British Science Association. It has chosen ‘curiosity' as its theme for 2026, which fits perfectly with amateur radio. This campaign is a brilliant opportunity for radio amateurs to share their passion with others. This could be through organising an open day for the local community, setting up a buildathon for a club evening, operating a special event station from your local library or even supervising your friends and family in making their first QSO – the options are endless. If this has piqued your interest, and you would like to share your thoughts, ideas and plans with Ian, get in touch via bsw@rsgb.org.uk. You can see what other people did last year and find the RSGB's resource bank at rsgb.org/bsw The RSGB is looking for a proactive and knowledgeable volunteer to serve as its new Accessibility Champion. This important role will focus on ensuring that people with disabilities can fully participate and enjoy everything that amateur radio has to offer. Key responsibilities of the role will be engaging with the amateur radio community, serving as a point of contact and signposting people to resources that can help them, as well as raising awareness of the challenges faced by individuals and sharing inspiring stories. If you have a strong understanding of accessibility issues, ideally with personal experience or professional expertise, and are passionate about inclusion within amateur radio, the Society would love to hear from you. If you're interested in finding out more, including having a chat about the role, please firstly read the full role description on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/volunteers  and then contact RSGB Board Director Nathan Nuttall, 2M0OCC. Did you see the Meteor Beacon Project presentation by Brian Coleman, G4NNS, at the RSGB Convention or on the Convention livestream? Would you like to explore the science that the project supports and be involved in the technical research and activities? Brian is creating a small group to contribute to the ongoing development of the project and will start to record, classify and analyse the data the system can already gather. If you'd like to know more about the project, you can watch Brian's presentation on the RSGB YouTube channel at youtube.com/theRSGB  If you'd like to be part of the ongoing development group, please contact Brian via brian@brcg4nns.org  for a chat about what would be involved. Today is the last day to give the RSGB HF Contest Committee your comments to help shape the rules for HF contests in 2026. The online survey includes questions on ‘Self-Spotting' and ‘Slow speed CW'. You can find the survey online via tinyurl.com/hfcontests Please send details of all your news and events to radcom@rsgb.org.uk. The deadline for submissions is 10am on Thursdays before the Sunday broadcast each week.  And now for details of rallies and events On Sunday, the 30th of November, Bishop Auckland Radio Amateur Club's Rally is taking place at Spennymoor Leisure Centre, County Durham.

Recently, the station was spotted using FT8 on the 40m band. QSL directly to M0KZT. See QRZ.com  for more information. Special callsign GB70RS is in use to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the RSGB's weekly news service GB2RS, which has been running continuously since the 25th of September 1955. A team of amateurs is using the callsign on a variety of bands and modes. QSL via the Bureau, Logbook of the World and eQSL. For more information, visit the GB70RS page at QRZ.com Now the DX news Phill, C21TS, is active from Nauru, OC-031, until the 30th of November. The station is often spotted on the HF bands using FT8. QSL via Logbook of the World or OQRS. Darek, TJ1GD, is operating as TL8GD from the Central African Republic until the 30th of November. He is using CW, FT8 and SSB on the HF bands. QSL via Club Log's OQRS, Logbook of the World or via SP3EOL. Now the contest news On Tuesday the 25th, the RSGB SHF UK Activity Contest runs from 1930 to 2230UTC. Using all modes on the 13cm band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Wednesday the 26th, the UK and Ireland Contest Club 80m Contest runs from 2000 to 2100UTC. Using CW on the 80m band, the exchange is your six-character locator. On Thursday the 27th, the 3.5MHz RSGB Autumn Series CW Contest runs from 2000 to 2130UTC. Using CW on the 80m band, the exchange is signal report and serial number. The CQ World Wide DX CW Contest starts at 0000UTC on Saturday, the 29th and ends at 2359UTC on Sunday, the 30th of November. Using CW on the 160 to 10m bands, where contests are permitted, the exchange is signal report and CQ zone. The UK is in Zone 14. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 20th of November After the solar mayhem we reported in last week's GB2RS News, the Sun has been relatively quiet over the past week. The maximum Kp index we saw was 4, on Monday, the 17th of November, but otherwise it was often below 1 or 2. The result is that the ionosphere has been more stable and DX has been more forthcoming. Unfortunately, this coincided with a drop in sunspot numbers, and the solar flux index fell from 163 on the 12th to 123 on Thursday, the 20th. However, 123 is still enough to get things moving, and we have seen some good DX being worked. CDXC's Slack chat group has reported several impressive contacts. VK9DX on Norfolk Island was worked on the 15m band using CW; ZL7/LZ1GC on the Chatham Islands was logged on the 40m band using CW; and S79/OK6RA in the Seychelles appeared on the 10m band using CW. Another interesting spot was JA7BXS on the 80m band using CW on the morning of Thursday, the 20th, showing that the low bands are becoming more interesting as we head into winter. DX on the 80m band has little to do with the solar flux index but can be influenced by geomagnetic disturbances; hence, these quieter periods have allowed the 40 and 80m bands to shine. For the coming week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index may decline even more, perhaps down to 105 or 110. However, it does look like our run of quiet geomagnetic indices may come to an end, with a Kp index of 5 predicted for the 24th to the 27th of November. In fact, we could have unsettled geomagnetic conditions until the end of the month. So, this may be a good time to start concentrating on the lower bands, such as 40 and 80m. You never know, they might surprise you! And don't forget, the CQ World Wide CW Contest is taking place during the weekend of the 29th and 30th – always a good opportunity for DX. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The current spell of unsettled weather is very much in a cold phase, but although it continues to be unsettled, it will be milder and wetter in the coming week. Perhaps more important is that at times it will be very windy with gales in some areas. For propagation, this means that the one feature absent from the present charts is any high pressure to bring tropo conditions. This means that other modes take on more importance. Auroras have provided some recent interest and, although there's nothing dramatic in the immediate future, keep a watching brief for a rising Kp index. A good guide for impending activity is if the Kp index increases above 5. The rain scatter prospects are likely to be good during the coming week as several active frontal systems cross the country. Notably, the evening of Wednesday the 19th saw trans-North sea propagation visible on the Margate 24GHz WebSDR. This extended into the morning of Thursday the 19th, but unfortunately, no coastal stations were around to make QSOs. While rain scatter is a GHz band activity, on the lower band,s you may find some increase in static levels due to lightning activity or even snow static before the weather turns milder. There is not expected to be a strong showing of Sporadic-E in the coming week since we are well out of season. Southern UK stations should continue to watch out for fleeting F-layer DX openings on 50MHz, especially to Africa and Asia. For EME operators, the Moon's declination is at its lowest and negative all week, so Moon window lengths are short and peak elevation is low. We passed apogee on the 20th of November, so path losses are decreasing again. 144MHz sky noise is high today, the 23rd, but will become lower as the week progresses. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Mamdanism President Trump will meet New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani at the White House, a high-profile sit-down that underscores deep ideological divides. Buck analyzes Mamdani’s progressive agenda, including proposals for rent freezes, free public buses, and universal childcare, arguing these policies mirror failed socialist experiments and will worsen housing scarcity in New York City. He explains how government intervention in markets—such as rent control—creates artificial constraints that drive up costs and reduce housing availability, citing economic principles from Hayek’s Road to Serfdom. Buck warns that Mamdani’s tax-hike plans targeting corporations and high earners will further destabilize the city’s economy. FL Gov. Ron DeSantis Buck welcomes FL Governor Ron DeSantis for an in-depth discussion on Florida’s bold proposal to eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties. DeSantis explains the economic rationale: skyrocketing property valuations are squeezing young families, while local governments have ballooned budgets from $32 billion in 2019 to $56 billion today. He argues that cutting homestead property taxes would protect true homeownership, reduce market distortions, and leverage Florida’s unique tax base, which relies heavily on non-resident property owners. DeSantis outlines plans for a 2026 ballot initiative, addresses concerns about special interests, and contrasts Florida’s lean, results-driven governance with New York’s bloated spending under progressive leadership. The conversation also touches on New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s agenda, warning that policies like rent freezes and anti-police measures will accelerate urban decline. WI Sen. Ron Johnson Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who discusses alarming revelations about the FBI’s handling of the Thomas Crooks assassination attempt on President Trump. Johnson suggests the Bureau may have withheld critical information about Crooks’ online activity, including radicalization indicators, and criticizes the lack of transparency despite bipartisan efforts to investigate. He confirms his committee is pursuing independent inquiries and warns that more details will surface. The conversation shifts to the Epstein Transparency Act, which passed Congress with near-unanimous support. Johnson explains why the Senate fast-tracked the measure and outlines concerns about protecting victims while ensuring public disclosure. He predicts the DOJ will release files within 30 days of Trump’s signature, though some material may remain withheld for legal reasons. Buck and Johnson agree this rare bipartisan moment reflects overwhelming public demand for accountability in the Epstein case. Johnson also tackles FBI abuses under “Operation Arctic Frost,” describing it as a partisan dragnet targeting Trump allies, Republican groups, and even ordinary citizens in Wisconsin. He calls for full exposure of communications between Biden officials and outside legal operatives, framing the probe as an attempt to criminalize lawful political activity. The senator further advocates ending the Senate filibuster, aligning with Trump’s position to secure election integrity, repair Obamacare’s failures, and advance conservative reforms. Bye, Bye, Dept. of Ed? Buck analyzes Karoline Leavitt’s fiery White House briefing, where she announced a major step toward dismantling the Department of Education. Leavitt detailed plans to redistribute its functions across other agencies, moving toward Trump’s campaign promise to return education control to states and eliminate federal overreach. Buck applauds the move, arguing the Department has long served as a progressive policy arm rather than an educational necessity. The show also previews Trump’s upcoming meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, which Levitt characterized as a stark contrast between Trump’s pragmatic leadership and Mamdani’s far-left agenda. Buck predicts fireworks from the meeting and critiques Mamdani’s socialist proposals, including rent freezes and free public transit, as disastrous for New York’s economy.

Nvidia reported earnings yesterday after markets closed, and it did not disappoint. Nvidia makes 90% of all chips used in AI. Tech stocks, including Nvidia, have been carrying a lot of weight in markets, and investors had started getting a little nervous about whether the AI boom was a bubble — but Nvidia's results have been pretty reassuring. Also: stale data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Japan's tensions with China.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 119,000 nonfarm payroll jobs added in September, far above economists' 50,000 estimate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former President George W. Bush says at the funeral service for his Vice President Dick Cheney that Cheney was "totally devoted to protecting the United States and its interests", while daughter Liz Cheney says her father knew "that bonds of party must always yield to the single bond we share as Americans"; President Donald Trump in online posts calls for six House & Senate Democrats to be arrested, tried and hanged for "seditious behavior at the highest level" after they urged U.S. military and intelligence community members not follow unlawful orders; Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the September jobs report six weeks late due to the federal government shutdown. It shows 119,000 jobs created and the unemployment rate rising to 4.4%. Vice President JD Vance says that shows “Trump economic policies are actually working”; Rep. Sheila Cherfilus McCormick (D-FL) says the federal charges she is facing for allegedly stealing $5 million in federal disaster aid are unjust, and she looks forward to her day in court. Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) is calling for her to be expelled from the U.S. House; President Donald Trump meets at the White House with former hostages held by Hamas; an update from the White House on a new U.S. peace plan presented to Ukraine to end that country's war with Russia; House Foreign Affairs Committee holds a hearing on religious violence in Nigeria.

US Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer reacts to the "solid" September jobs report and says the Federal Reserve needs to cut rates again. Nonfarm payrolls increased 119,000 after the prior month was revised lower, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, and the unemployment rate ticked up to an almost four-year high of 4.4% as the labor force grew. She speaks with Bloomberg's Matt Miller and Dani Burger. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

« Signe de dégel », s'exclame le site d'information Seneweb. « Le président de la République, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a rencontré avant-hier les membres du Bureau politique de Pastef, son parti, pour aborder, entre autres, sa relation avec son Premier ministre Ousmane Sonko et les récentes nominations contestées, notamment celle d'Aminata Touré. » En effet, rappelle Le Monde Afrique, « le 11 novembre dernier, Bassirou Diomaye Faye avait précipité la crise en annonçant retirer à Aïda Mbodj, une proche du Premier ministre, la direction de la coalition “Diomaye président“. Et nommer à sa place Aminata Touré, sa conseillère spéciale, elle aussi une femme politique expérimentée, plusieurs fois ministre. » Une éviction et une nomination qui n'ont pas été, du tout, du goût du Premier ministre qui avait alors rué dans les brancards… « Dans le viseur du Premier ministre également, pointe Le Monde Afrique : le ministre de l'Environnement, Abdourahmane Diouf. Réputé proche du président Faye, à la tête d'un petit parti allié au Pastef, Abdourahmane Diouf avait récemment appelé à se montrer clément à l'égard des cadres en poste du temps de l'ancien président Macky Sall. Un propos qui va à l'encontre des positions défendues par Ousmane Sonko. » Et déjà, rappelle encore Le Monde Afrique, « dès juillet, une première divergence était apparue entre les deux dirigeants. Le Premier ministre, violemment attaqué par l'opposition, s'était publiquement demandé alors pourquoi son camarade ne se montrait pas plus ferme avec cette dernière. » Réconciliation de façade ? Avant-hier, donc, le président Diomaye Faye a joué l'apaisement… « Je ne ferai jamais de mal à Ousmane Sonko, et je sais qu'il ne me fera jamais de mal », a-t-il notamment déclaré. Des propos repris par toute la presse sénégalaise, à l'instar du site Dakar Matin qui estime qu'il s'agit là d'une « phrase lourde de sens, destinée à couper court aux rumeurs de froid, de rupture ou de prises de distance entre les deux figures majeures du parti. » Commentaire d'Afrik.com : « si les tensions persistent, le rapprochement affiché entre Diomaye et Sonko marque un moment important. En réaffirmant leur cohésion au cœur de la tempête, les deux figures fondatrices de la majorité envoient un message qui peut ainsi être décrypté : malgré les divergences, l'ossature du pouvoir reste solidaire. » Reste, tempère Seneplus que « le président a confirmé qu'il campait sur sa position de maintenir Aminata Touré à la tête de la coalition “Diomaye président“. Cette nomination apparaît désormais comme un fait accompli. » En attendant les élections… Et pour une partie de la presse sénégalaise, rien n'est réglé… « Diomaye intraitable », s'exclame WalfQuotidien en première page. « La crise est loin de s'estomper au sein de la majorité présidentielle, affirme le journal. Malgré l'implication du Bureau politique de Pastef, le Président Diomaye semble inflexible face aux exigences du chef de file du parti, le Premier ministre Ousmane Sonko. » Pour l'analyste politique, Ibrahima Bakho, interrogé par Walf, « les deux leaders sont dépassés par les violences verbales des deux camps. Il faudra du temps pour régler cela. Et ce temps, regrette l'analyste, on ne l'a pas, parce que les élections, c'est en 2027 pour les locales et en 2029 pour la présidentielle. Toutefois, souligne-t-il, cette période au Sénégal a toujours été marquée par des campagnes électorales déguisées. » Alors, résume Le Quotidien, toujours à Dakar, « si l'élection de Bassirou Diomaye Faye et Ousmane Sonko a été perçue comme un geste de décrispation majeure, le processus de réconciliation politique reste délicat. Le dialogue s'étend aux anciens adversaires, mais les défis persistent, y compris au sein de Pastef, la coalition au pouvoir, où il y a des divergences sur l'exercice de l'autorité. La mission reste d'éviter que les querelles politiciennes n'entravent le projet de transformation du pays et de maintenir le cap sur les attentes du peuple. » En effet, prévient Le Monde Afrique, « d'ici à l'élection présidentielle de 2029, la recomposition du paysage politique sénégalais pourrait se concentrer essentiellement à l'intérieur même du Pastef, au risque de voir ce parti, autrefois capable de réunir des sensibilités différentes de la gauche jusqu'aux libéraux, finir par se scinder. »

A federal union is suing the Bureau of Prisons over the recent cancelation of its collective bargaining agreement. The lawsuit comes after BOP ended its contract in September, arguing that the union had become an "obstacle to progress." The American Federation of Government Employees is now alleging that the agency's decision violated the law.

‘New Yorker' staff writer Marc Fisher says Kash Patel became FBI director without senior law enforcement experience because of his loyalty to Trump and willingness to seek retribution for his perceived enemies. “There are some ways in which many FBI agents like the fact that Patel has steered the agency back towards what they see as basic crime fighting,” Fisher says. “But the overwhelming sentiment, I think, is that he has more than shaken up the Bureau—he has gutted it.”Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This week: National parks reopen after the government shutdown — but not before one of them gets hit with a rash of graffiti. Winter closures are rolling in across the park system, including some big changes at Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. The Park Service is trying to hire 500 new law enforcement rangers with an eye-popping $70,000 bonus… while a new academic study shows national parks are still some of the safest places you can visit. We'll also look at the Justice Department's renewed crackdown on marijuana use on federal land, the controversy surrounding the nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management.

Episode Summary Welcome back to Grifty Pod. If you are listening to this episode without a helmet or a seatbelt, you are far braver than we are. This week felt like the entire nation had a stroke while standing upright. The Epstein documents dropped and inside that cursed file dump we discovered the soul bending phrase Trump and Bubba which was not on any of our bingo cards. Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to pick a political fistfight with Trump and it looked like two malfunctioning Roombas colliding in a hallway. Every headline seemed to be written by a bored demon trapped in a newsroom. So today we are taking you on a tour of American unreality. First we slide back into the nineties to revisit the DARE program which gave entire generations a deeply misplaced sense of safety. Then we blast forward to the current moment where right wing influencers are turning on their own in something called transvestigation which is exactly as deranged as it sounds. The circus is in town. Let us begin. What You'll Learn in This Episode The DARE Program and the Comforting Lie That Posters Fix Everything Charlie and Erika Kirk and the Digital Fever Dream of Transvestigations Is it A Grift? Real News or Fake Grift Fever Dream? The DARE Program and the Comforting Lie That Posters Fix Everything What DARE Was Selling The DARE program arrived in Los Angeles in 1983 and quickly metastasized into a national tradition. A smiling uniformed officer would walk into an elementary school classroom and deliver a series of highly scripted moral lectures about resisting drugs, alcohol and peer pressure. Children signed pledges. Children received neon yellow T shirts that glowed like irradiated dandelions. Children were assured that they were now fortified against the evils of the world. By the mid nineties DARE had infected more than seventy percent of school districts across the United States. It was not a curriculum so much as a branding operation. Parents adored it. Politicians bragged about it. The police treated it like a goodwill tour. The problem is that the entire thing did not work. Multiple meta analyses found that DARE had either no measurable effect on future drug use or effects so small they barely registered. A few studies found that students who completed DARE even experimented more possibly because children are curious, confused and easily entertained by forbidden concepts. The program was built on slogans rather than science. It substituted good intentions for meaningful intervention. It made addiction look like a moral failure instead of the complex social crisis it is. DARE was America in miniature. A shiny T-shirt pretending to be a solution. Why This Matters Today DARE is a perfect case study in institutional showmanship. It demonstrates our national desire for easy answers. It teaches us that if something feels helpful enough people will stop asking whether it is actually helpful. This is how grifts survive. This is how nostalgic myth becomes public memory. ⸻ Charlie and Erika Kirk and the Digital Fever Dream of Transvestigations What Transvestigation Actually Is Transvestigation is a conspiracy subculture devoted to claiming that public figures are secretly transgender. The reasoning is not medical, psychological or scientific. It is forensic fan fiction. These groups analyze photos of celebrities and politicians and apply invented rules about jaw shape collarbone angle shoulder width rib cage length wrist thickness and something they ominously call skull markers. There is no science behind it. There is no method behind it. There is only paranoia amplified by people who believe they are citizen detectives protecting the world from a conspiracy that does not exist. For years this fringe movement targeted women on the left. Michelle Obama was their white whale. They also went after celebrities like Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, Serena Williams and Adele. Any woman with a strong jawline or athletic build was declared part of a secret gender agenda. The harassment has been relentless. But now the movement has turned inward. They have run out of enemies and begun pointing their microscopes at their own heroes. What They Are Saying About Erika Kirk According to the THEM article and recent digital surveillance here are the claims: They say her jawline fits what they insist is a male coded shape. They circulate side by side photos comparing her face to older images of male celebrities and trans women in transition even though none of the comparisons are coherent. They insist her collarbones sit too high and too straight. They point to photos where her shoulders look square in certain angles and treat this as biological evidence. They claim her wrists appear too thick in one photo where she is holding a water bottle. They argue that the way her thumb rests on a plastic bottle is masculine. This is considered a smoking gun in transvestigation circles. They point to her rib cage and claim it is too long for a woman which is a concept that has no scientific foundation but is treated as gospel by these content creators. Some go further. They say Erika Kirk is part of a hidden elite trans infiltration network. They call it the trans deception agenda. They never define it. They just insist it exists. What They Are Saying About Charlie Kirk The conspiracists accuse Charlie of similar fabricated markers. They say his shoulder to hip ratio aligns with what they consider feminized skeletal patterns. They claim his skull structure shows traits they have decided indicate a trans woman who transitioned early in life. They circulate old photos of him and create imaginary transition timelines like they are solving a case on CSI That Makes No Sense. They say his face changed shape over time and they treat normal aging as a covert biological anomaly. Why They Are Doing This The THEM article explains that this is what happens when you cultivate distrust as a political currency. The right wing has spent years fueling suspicion of trans people. They turned gender into a battlefield where everything is a clue and everyone is a suspect. Now the machine they built has turned back toward them. This is not about Charlie or Erika. This is about a conspiracy algorithm that can never be satisfied. When you reward content creators for uncovering hidden enemies eventually they will manufacture enemies from your own supporters. The Broader Crisis Transvestigation is not just ridiculous. It is dangerous. It treats gender identity like scandal material. It promotes body shaming disguised as detective work. It turns the public into unpaid inquisitors. And now the movement is eating itself alive. This is the logical endpoint of conspiracy thinking. When truth stops mattering the accusation becomes a spectacle. ⸻ GRIFTY GAME - Real News or Fake Grift Fever Dream? Three stories. One true. The other two were born from the national imagination which is not exactly a safe place to be. ⸻ That concludes our weekly descent into the archives of American absurdity.

Pour pallier le manque de main-d'oeuvre, le secteur du tourisme a développé une formation hôtelière destinée à intégrer et fidéliser des étrangers en situation régulière, ou en voie de régularisation, dans les métiers en tension.  Apport économique de l'immigration : au Portugal, la preuve par l'exemple Après une longue bataille juridique, le Parlement portugais a durci cet automne les conditions d'entrée des étrangers dans le pays, suite à un accord entre le gouvernement et l'extrême droite. La nouvelle loi immigration stipule, par exemple, que les visas de recherche d'emploi seront désormais réservés aux travailleurs hautement qualifiés. Pourtant, sur le terrain, les besoins de main-d'oeuvre sont tout autres. Le Bureau national du Tourisme, en partenariat avec le Bureau de l'Immigration, et l'organisation patronale du secteur a développé une formation destinée à former et intégrer des étrangers en situation régulière ou en voie de régularisation dans des restaurants, des bars et des hôtels qui manquent de bras. Et c'est jusqu'à présent une réussite, comme l'a constaté à Lisbonne, Marie-Line Darcy.   En Hongrie, le secteur de la restauration est en plein marasme Ces dix dernières années, un quart des restaurants et des bars du pays ont fermé, y compris dans les régions les plus touristiques. Les patrons ont, là aussi, beaucoup de mal à trouver du personnel. Mais ce n'est pas la seule raison de cette crise. Les explications à Budapest de Florence La Bruyère.   La ministre, la guerre et l'Europe, ou comment Olha Stefanishyna a tracé la route de Kiev vers l'UE Elle vient d'avoir quarante ans et elle a déjà derrière elle une carrière impressionnante :  vice-Première-ministre de l'Ukraine en 2020, Olha Stefanishyna a été en charge de l'intégration européenne jusqu'en juillet 2025. Elle vient d'être nommée ambassadrice à Washington. En acceptant, lorsque l'Ukraine se retrouve dans le noir, le 24 février 2022, d'être suivie par la caméra du réalisateur suédois Viktor Nordenskiöld, elle nous permet de découvrir les coulisses des discussions avec Bruxelles, mais aussi de la vie de femme sous pression. Olivier Favier.  La ministre, la guerre et l'Europe, réalisation : Viktor Nordenskiöld, à voir sur la chaîne Arte jusqu'au 26 janvier 2026.   En Ukraine, la perception de la guerre chez certains jeunes fait débat En Ukraine, la guerre est omniprésente autant dans la société civile que sur le front. Mais elle dure depuis presque 4 ans et certains jeunes ont presque «grandi» avec. Récemment, l'humour indélicat sur les réseaux sociaux d'un influenceur connu des Ukrainiens a suscité une vaste polémique. Oleg Baryshevsky, 22 ans, a quitté Kiev pour Paris l'an dernier, et l'uniforme de soldat qu'il arborait récemment pour Halloween n'a pas fait rire dans son pays. Les précisions d'Emmanuelle Chaze.   À Sofia, la crise du ramassage des ordures s'éternise Depuis des mois, des quartiers de la capitale bulgare sont envahis par les ordures qui ne sont plus ramassées. En cause, un bras de fer entre la mairie et les entreprises du secteur, sur fond de pressions et de corruption. Pendant ce temps, les habitants et la mairie gèrent l'urgence,tant bien que mal. Reportage, Damian Vodenitcharov.

Tomorrow's when we're supposed to learn more about how imports and exports have been faring from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, though the 43-day government shutdown may still delay that data release. What might those numbers be able to tell us (whenever they do come out) about some of the impacts of the president's tariffs? Plus, China has a glut of EVs, and that oversupply is starting to spill over into the rest of the world.

With the government shutdown now over, the next battle in Congress is healthcare. Rising premiums, questions about extending ACA subsidies, and concerns about access and affordability are all back on the table. Missouri Congressman Jason Smith, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, joins the Rundown to explain why Republicans want broader reforms beyond Obamacare exchanges, how they hope to lower costs for every American, and what policy fights may be coming as both parties head toward the 2026 midterms. After years on the front lines of major cases, a former FBI special agent says the Bureau is no longer the agency she joined. Fox News Contributor, Nicole Parker, joins the Rundown to explain why she believes the FBI has become divided, what she witnessed inside the culture of the Bureau, and why restoring trust, focus and accountability is critical for its future.

In the immediate aftermath of her conviction, there was significant debate and scrutiny over where Ghislaine Maxwell would serve her prison sentence following her 20-year federal judgment for sex-trafficking and related charges tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Initially, Maxwell was placed at the low-security women's federal prison, Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee in Florida. The placement raised questions because, given the severity of her crimes and high-profile nature of the case, many observers expected her to be assigned to a facility with stricter security settings. Critics argued that a low-security placement might not reflect the gravity of her offenses or adequately account for necessary protections and oversight.The debate intensified when, in 2025, Maxwell was unexpectedly transferred from FCI Tallahassee to the minimum-security camp Federal Prison Camp, Bryan in Bryan, Texas—one of the most lenient levels of federal prison. The transfer occurred shortly after she met with the Deputy U.S. Attorney General, and it sparked concerns among lawmakers who questioned whether this move constituted preferential treatment for someone convicted of facilitating the sexual abuse of minors. Some called for transparency and accountability, demanding records about how security designations are decided and whether her placement adhered to normal Bureau of Prisons policy or was outside standard procedure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants: Retired FBI Agent Speaks. Special Episode. “This is a part of FBI work the public almost never sees,” Vinton explains. “When you're Tackling The Mafia And the Dangers of Informants, you're operating in a world where loyalty is a currency, and betrayal can cost lives or careers.” Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In a powerful Special Episode now streaming on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform, retired FBI agent and author Tom Vinton offers a rare, firsthand look into the world of organized crime, dangerous informants, and the internal risks faced by federal investigators. Promoted across Facebook, Instagram, and other News outlets, the episode takes listeners deep into the heart of New York's most violent Mafia crime families, and into the shadows where informants and agents walk a thin line between justice and treachery. Inside the Mafia Wars of the 1980s The episode dives into the turbulent 1980s, a decade defined by upheaval within the Gambino Crime Family, from the Crime Boss's leadership to his shocking 1985 assassination and the meteoric rise of another Boss. Vinton recalls the era as one marked by international heroin trafficking, brutal territorial battles, and the historic Mafia Commission Trial, which took aim at the leadership of all five New York Mafia families. Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants: Retired FBI Agent Speaks. Special Episode. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “The Commission Trial was a seismic shift,” Vinton says. “For the first time, the FBI could expose how the families cooperated, organized, and profited. It changed the direction of organized crime investigations forever.” The Perils of Informants: “A Necessary Evil” Vinton's book, Sanctioned Treachery: Portrait of a Drug Informant, becomes a centerpiece of the episode. Based on his decades-long career investigating organized crime and supervising the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, the novel brings to life the dangerous dance between agents and the informants they rely on. “Informants are both indispensable and incredibly risky,” Vinton notes. “Some agents have had their careers destroyed, or even ended up in jail, because they trusted the wrong person.” Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants: Retired FBI Agent Speaks. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. The book follows fictional FBI agent Eddie Michaels and his informant Alonzo “King” Curtis, a charismatic but ruthless operator whose moral compass is as fluid as the criminal underworld he moves through. Drawing on real-life cases, Vinton reveals how informants can both solve major crimes and simultaneously jeopardize investigations, or the agents themselves. “This could have happened,” Vinton says plainly. “Some of it did.” A Career Built on Crime-Fighting and Storytelling Tom Vinton's own story is as compelling as the cases he describes. Born in New Rochelle and a graduate of Holy Cross, he served as a Marine Corps infantry officer before joining the FBI. His assignments took him ultimately to New York, where he supervised massive organized crime and drug investigations. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. After retiring from the Bureau, Vinton became Deputy Commissioner of the Westchester County Police and launched a consulting business. But writing remained a passion. Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants. “A professor once told me that writing would serve me no matter what career I chose,” Vinton recalls. “He was right. These stories needed to be told.” Originally published in 2005, Sanctioned Treachery was lost when the publisher went bankrupt. Now updated, re-edited, and released, it's earning renewed praise. One early review called it “a grand thriller… an exciting breath-holding adventure disguised as fiction.” How the FBI Fights Organized Crime Throughout the episode, Vinton breaks down how the FBI tackles criminal enterprises, not just individuals, using tools like: Undercover operations Court-authorized wiretaps and surveillance Asset forfeiture Informants and cooperating witnesses Inter-agency task forces RICO statutes “The goal is to dismantle the entire infrastructure of a criminal organization,” Vinton says. “Not just arrest a few people. We target the enterprise, its money, its leadership, its operations.” Tackling The Mafia And Dangers of Informants: Retired FBI Agent Speaks. Special Episode. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. A Must-Listen Episode for True Crime Fans For those interested in the FBI, Mafia history, or the high-stakes world of criminal informants, this Special Episode delivers unmatched insight. “It's a reminder,” Vinton says, “that the line between justice and danger is thinner than the public ever realizes.” Listeners can tune in on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform and follow updates on Facebook, Instagram, and other major News outlets.

On today's wide-ranging program, Ralph welcomes David Dayen of “The American Prospect” to discuss the Democrats caving on the shutdown. Then, Ralph speaks to Dani Noble from Jewish Voice for Peace about their BDS campaigns, efforts to block weapons shipments to Israel, and the state of the ceasefire in Gaza. Finally, Ralph speaks to original Nader's Raider Sam Simon about his new memoir, “Dementia Man: An Existential Journey.”David Dayen is the executive editor of the American Prospect, an independent political magazine that aims to advance liberal and progressive goals through reporting, analysis and debate. His work has appeared in the Intercept, HuffPost, the Washington Post, and more. He is the author of Chain of Title: How Three Ordinary Americans Uncovered Wall Street's Great Foreclosure Fraud and Monopolized: Life in the Age of Corporate Power.If Congress is saying: We have the power of the purse, and we have the ability to dictate to the President what he is able to do or not do with federal funding, then why not go the whole way? To me, that was the entire purpose of the shutdown— to stop the President from ignoring Congress and initiating his own prerogatives as it relates to government funding. It is really making Congress completely irrelevant in the process which they constitutionally are supposed to dictate.David DayenEvery time Trump has been in power and there's been a national election, he's lost it. He lost the midterm elections in 2018. He lost the presidential election in 2020. He lost the off-year elections in 2017 and 2019. He lost (just last week) the elections in 2025. He is not equipped to have an agenda that appeals to the American people when he's in power. And so I firmly agree that Democrats are likely to do well in the elections next year, as they just did. The one thing that can stop that is: completely punching your base in the face, after you succeed politically in backing Republicans into a corner.David DayenDani Noble is a Strategic Campaigns Organizer at Jewish Voice for Peace.Israel bonds (which very few people know much about) are direct loans to the Israeli military and government. They are unrestricted. They have no guardrails around what those funds can be used for, et cetera. And this is a main way that the Israeli military and government generate an unrestricted slush fund to be able to continue their genocidal assault on Gaza, to continue funding for the atrocities being committed against Palestinians—even as their government and economy suffers and/or operates with a massive deficit.Dani NobleThis bill would essentially block the Trump administration from delivering some of the deadliest weapons to Israel. So it's an essential, essential step in what we need to do fundamentally—which is a full arms embargo to stop arming the Israeli military and government…It's the most supported piece of legislation in support of Palestinian rights that we've ever seen.Dani NobleSam Simon is an author, playwright, and attorney. His new book Dementia Man: An Existential Journey is based on his award-winning play of the same name.There's also a social cost. A sense that everything I've ever built personally—my cars, my homes, my savings—that were all going to be available as a legacy to my family, they have to be spent in my few years of my life just to keep me alive. There needs to be a community response to that—and that's shorthand for the government. It doesn't force people to go broke to stay alive.Sam SimonNews 11/14/25* This week, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a new tranche of over 20,000 pages of documents related to infamous financier and sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein. These documents include damning emails between Epstein and various high-power individuals like Steve Bannon, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and current U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack. However, the emails that have received the most attention are those regarding President Donald Trump. In these emails, Epstein claimed Trump “knew about the girls,” and claimed that, “i [i.e. Epstein] am the one able to take him [i.e. Trump] down.” Perhaps most shocking, Epstein claims to have been with Trump during Thanksgiving in 2017, according to NBC. If true, it would directly contradict Trump's repeated insistence that he had no contact with Epstein since their falling out in the mid 2000s, either 2004 or 2007, per PBS.* The newly released Epstein files reinforce another narrative as well: that Epstein was an asset for Israeli intelligence. Drop Site news has done excellent reporting on Epstein helping to “Broker [an] Israeli Security Agreement With Mongolia,” “Build a Backchannel to Russia Amid [the] Syrian Civil War” and “Sell a Surveillance State to Côte d'Ivoire.” Most recently the independent outlet has published an expose on Epstein's relationship with known Mossad spy Yoni Koren. According to this piece, “Epstein's personal calendars reveal that…[Koren] lived at Epstein's Manhattan apartment for multiple stretches between 2013 and 2016.” There is also evidence that Epstein wired money to Koren. However, the reasons behind this transfer, and the details of their relationship, remain murky.* More Epstein information is likely to be released in the coming days. This week, the longest ever government shutdown in American history concluded with capitulation by centrist Democrats in the Senate. However, the conclusion of the shutdown finally broke the logjam over the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newly elected Democratic Congresswoman from Arizona. Grijalva immediately fulfilled her vow to be the 218th signature on the Discharge Petition forcing a vote on the release of the Epstein files, joining all 213 other House Democrats and four Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace, per the Hill. In her first speech, Grijalva emphatically stated, “Justice cannot wait another day.” House Speaker Johnson has promised to bring the matter to a vote next week and many Republicans who did not sign the petition are expected to vote for it, with sponsors angling for a veto-proof majority. At that point, all eyes will turn to the Senate.* Even still, the Democrats blinking in the government shutdown showdown has infuriated many members of Congress, candidates and Democratic-aligned organizations, who are now calling for Chuck Schumer to step aside as Senate Minority Leader. Journalist Prem Thakker is keeping a running tally of these calls, which so far includes 12 Congressional Democrats – with major names like Pramila Jayapal, Mark Pocan, Rashida Tlaib, and Ro Khanna among them – along with candidates like Seth Moulton, Mallory McMorrow, Saikat Chakrabarti and Graham Platner. Beyond these individuals however, this call has been echoed by groups ranging from Our Revolution to Social Security Works to College Democrats of America, among many others.* Moving to economic matters, one other consequence of the protracted government shutdown is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics was “largely idle,” meaning it did not collect the crucial fiscal information it is responsible for gathering, including October jobs numbers and Consumer Price Index changes. According to POLITICO, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said this information is unlikely to ever be released. She of course blamed that on the opposition in Congress, saying “Democrats may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system.” This is somewhat laughable, as the Trump administration has all but gone to war with the economic data collection functions of the federal government whenever that data has made him look bad.* Another bad sign for the economy in general, and for consumers in particular, is the rise of what are generously called “Flex Loans.” A new investigation by ProPublica in partnership with the Tennessee Lookout, examines the rise of this new strain of ultra-high-interest loan, with annual interest rates as high as 279.5%. This, combined with a lending cap of $4,000 – nine times higher than a traditional payday loan – has led to Advance Financial, the leading lender in Tennessee, suing over 110,000 people across the state since 2015. According to the data, judgments against consumers usually end up in the thousands, and 40% result in garnished wages. Loans of this variety were illegal before 2015, but the Tennessee legislature allowed them through and while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has sought to protect financial services consumers from these types of predatory lending schemes, the Trump administration's attempts to kneecap the agency have rendered it powerless.* Meanwhile, a dearth of consumer protections is yielding horrific consequences in a completely different area: AI. A new CNN report details how ChatGPT encouraged a Texas 23-year-old, Zane Shamblin, to kill himself. In heart-wrenching detail, this story paints a picture of Shamblin on the edge of suicide, and the AI chatbot helping to push him towards death. As Shamblin held a gun to his own head, the bot wrote, “You're not rushing. You're just ready,” later adding, “Rest easy, king…You did good.” According to this piece, the chatbot “repeatedly encouraged [Shamblin] as he discussed ending his life” for months, and “right up to his last moments.” Shamblin's parents are now suing ChatGPT's parent company, OpenAI, alleging the company endangered their son's life by, “tweaking its design last year to be more humanlike and by failing to put enough safeguards on interactions with users in need of emergency help.” The victim's mother, Alicia Shamblin, is quoted saying, “I feel like it's just going to destroy so many lives. It's going to be a family annihilator. It tells you everything you want to hear.”* In more positive consumer protection news, former Biden FTC Chair Lina Khan has hit the ground running in her new role helping to manage the transition for New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Per Semafor, Khan has been “scouring city and state laws — some overlooked by past mayors and some too new to have been tested yet — for legal footing for Mamdani's priorities.” Apparently, “Khan has privately discussed targeting hospitals that bill patients for painkillers available more cheaply at corner drugstores and sports stadiums charging nosebleed prices for concessions,” and “Other avenues for enforcement include a new state law that requires companies to tell customers when they are using algorithmic pricing. The law took effect this week, forcing Uber and DoorDash to start disclosing, but the incoming Mamdani administration plans to police laggards.” In short, it seems like the incoming Mamdani administration will use any and all legal and administrative means at their disposal to bring down costs for New Yorkers – as he promised again and again during the campaign. And, if there is one consumer regulator who can accomplish this, it is Ms. Khan.* Turning to Hollywood, Variety has published a major new piece on newly-minted Paramount CEO David Ellison's first 100 days. This piece covers everything from his attempts to curry favor with President Trump to the battle to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. Buried within this story is an indication that “Paramount maintains a list of talent it will not work with because they are deemed to be ‘overtly antisemitic.'” The criteria for this modern blacklist however is opaque, especially troubling given that Ellison has deputized Bari Weiss – an ardent Zionist and censor of pro-Palestine speech – as the “Editor-in-chief” of CBS News. According to Drop Site, the studio “recently condemned a filmmakers' boycott of Israeli institutions signed by Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, and Olivia Colman, among more than 4,000 others, declaring that Israel is carrying out genocide and apartheid.” Would Ellison blacklist these stars for “overt antisemitism”?* Finally, for some good news, the Economist is out with a stunning article on the success of China's transition to renewable energy. In the much-quoted opening paragraph, this piece reads “The SCALE of the renewables revolution in China is almost too vast for the human mind to grasp. By the end of last year, the country had installed 887 gigawatts of solar-power capacity—close to double Europe's and America's combined total. The 22m tonnes of steel used to build new wind turbines and solar panels in 2024 would have been enough to build a Golden Gate Bridge on every working day of every week that year. China generated 1,826 terawatt-hours of wind and solar electricity in 2024, five times more than the energy contained in all 600 of its nuclear weapons.” If that doesn't demonstrate the horizon of what is possible, given the requisite political will and determination, I don't know what will.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
