Nicolle Wallace covers how the latest attack within Iran is yet another betrayal of the MAGA base, who wants America to be put first. Back before the 2024 election, Stephen Miller, now Homeland Security Advisor to Trump, called Kamala Harris' campaign “war-mongering neocons [who] love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves.” Fast forward to 2026 under a second Trump presidency, the United States has upended Venezuela's regime, conducted air strikes in the Caribbean, and struck Iran, killing its Supreme Leader, all of which puts the U.S. military at risk. Later, Marc Elias and Tim Miller discuss Trump's unproven claims of Iran interfering in the 2020 election, leading to his loss to Joe Biden, and how Trump might use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms.

The world is exploding — Iran, Mexican cartels, border security, China infiltration — and Americans are asking one critical question: How do we defend our country WITHOUT repeating the disasters of Iraq and Afghanistan? This is a legitimate question to ask, and we thread the needle today with my friend Ammon Blair of the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Blair, a former Border Patrol agent and Iraq War veteran, takes us through the strategic plays of the Trump administration in Iran and the Caribbean, while also raising concerns about the shortsightedness of administration policies dealing with the Mexican cartels and prematurely declaring the border secure. America must project strength — but with discipline, clarity, and strategy. What does that balance look like?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Oscars hold a special place in popular culture, but the first Academy Awards ceremony, held in 1929, bore little resemblance to the spectacle most of us know today. In this episode, media expert Monica Sandler takes us from that first award ceremony – when both Los Angeles and the films made there struggled for respectability – to the modern extravaganza that draws tens of millions of viewers worldwide. Monica also breaks down the way voting has changed over time, the evolution of categories, and what she thinks was the greatest snub of all time. Dr. Monica Sandler is a film and media historian at Ball State University, specializing in the history of entertainment prizes and their influence on Hollywood.

This episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors comes straight to you from the Caribbean! We start off discussing the war in Iran (or, what little we know about it since it started the day we recorded): Do Americans want this? Do Iranians? Whose interests are being served by this war and by manufacturing consent for it? We talk about wieners for a while, and then spend the remainder of our time on a new segment of "Pastor Jack's Off," mostly being puzzled over what the hell he is attempting to say. But we think it has something to do with Iran and God's judgment but it's hard to tell with him.

Three memes allegedly found on Kouri Richins' phone the morning her husband's body was removed. "I'm rich." Their three sons were still upstairs, unaware their father was dead.The Kouri Richins murder trial has opened with explosive allegations—and immediate credibility problems for the prosecution's key witnesses.Prosecutor Brad Bloodworth laid out the theory: $4.5 million in debt, an affair with Josh Grossman, Caribbean vacation plans for one month after Eric's death, nearly two million in life insurance allegedly taken out without his knowledge. A fifteen-minute gap before the 911 call—phone unlocked six times while Eric lay dead. Internet searches about women's prisons and lie detector tests.But the foundation is shaky. Carmen Lauber, the woman who claims she sold Kouri fentanyl, has been granted immunity—and allegedly changed her story only after police threatened prison time. Her own dealer signed an affidavit claiming he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl. The Moscow mule glasses Eric drank from were never tested. No pills were ever recovered. The house was never searched for fentanyl. The death certificate lists manner of death as unknown.Defense attorney Kathryn Nester played Kouri's 911 call for the jury—raw, sobbing, barely coherent. She painted Eric as a man struggling with Lyme disease, chronic pain, and painkiller dependence.Eighteen days before his death, Eric allegedly told friends he thought his wife tried to poison him. That testimony is still ahead.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down where this case can be won—and lost.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

"I'm rich."Three memes allegedly found on Kouri Richins' phone the morning her husband Eric's body was removed from their home. Their three sons were still upstairs, unaware their father was dead.The prosecution's opening painted a devastating picture: $4.5 million in debt, an affair with Josh Grossman, Caribbean vacation plans for one month after Eric's death, nearly two million in life insurance taken out without his knowledge. And a fifteen-minute gap—Kouri's phone allegedly unlocked six times before she dialed 911. First responders noted Eric seemed like he had been dead a while.But the defense exposed cracks in the foundation. The key fentanyl supplier has recanted. Carmen Lauber allegedly changed her story only after police threatened prison time—and has now been granted immunity. Her own dealer signed an affidavit claiming he sold OxyContin, not fentanyl.

The state would show them the witch, she said. She'd reveal a widow.Eric's sister testified Kouri was composed and business-focused while the family collapsed in grief.

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.   ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

In this episode of *The Bullshit Filter*, Cameron and Ray dissect a world seemingly gone mad under the pressure of the Trump administration's “maximum pressure” foreign policy. The duo explores the unfolding humanitarian disaster in Cuba, where a modern fuel blockade has pushed the island's socialist experiment to the brink of collapse and triggered a “mini Bay of Pigs” skirmish. Beyond the Caribbean, they analyze the “Board of Peace”—a privatized, multibillion-dollar alternative to the UN Security Council run by Trump and a circle of luxury real estate developers. Finally, the conversation shifts to the global stage as the BRICS nations and the EU accelerate their “de-dollarization” efforts, launching digital payment systems like Wero to escape the reach of American financial weaponization. It's a deep dive into an era defined by “grifts within grifts” and the slow-motion collapse of the post-WWII global order. The post Sharks with Laser Beams – BS Filter 144 appeared first on The BS Filter.

Rum-brained and sunburned, Jonah Goldberg posts up poolside to ruminate on the Caribbean's cruise economy, Woodrow Wilson, how we think about history, Trump's condo-salesman vanity, the ongoing war in Ukraine, J.D.

Washington Post personal finance columnist, Michelle Singletary, tells the moving story of how a visit to her grade school by the Reverend Jesse Jackson inspired her life and career as described in her column, “How the Rev. Jesse Jackson Taught Me to Keep Hope Alive." Then Ralph welcomes Professor Eric S. Fish from U.C Davis School of Law to explain how grand juries are no longer rubber-stamping frivolous cases brought to them by the Trump Administration. Plus, Ralph gives us his take on Trump's marathon State of the Union speech and the Democratic response.Michelle Singletary writes the nationally-syndicated personal finance column “The Color of Money,” which appears in the Washington Post on Wednesdays and Sundays. In 2021, she won the Gerald Loeb award for commentary. She has written four personal finance books, including, What to Do With Your Money When Crisis Hits: A Survival Guide and The 21-Day Financial Fast: Your Path to Financial Peace and Freedom.The Trump administration's destruction of diversity, equity, and inclusion—they misunderstand what that means. It doesn't mean that you're giving jobs to people who are unqualified. It means that you recognize that the playing field wasn't even, and let's even this playing field. I liken it to a football team. You can't have a football team of all quarterbacks and win. You have to have a quarterback, a running back, a linebacker, you have to have a good kicker. It's the same thing—your team has to encompass people that represent all kinds of abilities to have a winning team. So DEI isn't a giveaway. It isn't charity. It recognizes that when you have people from different backgrounds and different perspectives and different skill levels, you have a winning team.Michelle SingletaryEric S Fish is professor of law at the UC Davis School of Law. Professor Fish's primary research is in criminal law, with particular focus on the ethical duties of participants in the criminal process, the structure of immigration crimes, and the system's emphasis on administrative efficiency. He has also served as a public defender, first with the San Francisco Public Defender's Office, and later as a Federal Defender in San Diego.This has been a really remarkable series of rejections of the Trump administration's prosecutions by ordinary people serving on grand juries, and one that is largely unprecedented in modern American history. I can't think of another example of grand juries rejecting such high-profile cases (and so many of them). Nothing really comes to mind. So in a certain sense, one might say this is the grand jury's original purpose…Initially they were a democratic institution of governance. They were a local check on the colonial oppression of the British (at least in the early colonial period). They refused to indict prosecutions under the Stamp Act, under the revenue laws. They were a tool of anti-colonial resistance to British oppression, and this seems at least broadly analogous to that—local grand juries in places like Minnesota, Chicago, Washington, D.C. are rejecting the Trump administration's attempts to prosecute its political enemies and bring trumped-up charges against protesters.Eric S. FishAll in all, [the State of the Union address] was fodder for political scientists for years to come. A dictatorial serial law violator, self-enriching chronic liar, cruel, vicious to vulnerable people and people without power (which is a majority of the people) elected dictator. This speech—which went for one hour and 48 minutes, the longest State of the Union speech ever—will be analyzed for a long time with the question at the center of the analysis being: How could so many tens of millions of voters be taken in by Trump's mouth, his lies, his false statements, his fantasies, his fake promises, his lack of any kind of record, whether as a businessman where he used bankruptcies as a strategy…and his record as a politician in his first term? That's the question we have to ask ourselves. And it's too easy to say that the Trump voters couldn't stand the Democrats who abandoned them. That's not enough. They could have not voted for Trump. They could have written in a vote. They could have voted for the Green, Libertarian, or other minor parties. They can't use the Democrats as a 100% excuse for voting for Trump. And a lot of them didn't. They just liked Trump. They liked his prejudices. They liked his lies. They liked his fantasies. They liked his fake promises.Ralph NaderNews 2/27/26* Our top stories this week come to us from our southern neighbor, Mexico. First, on February 22nd, Mexican authorities announced they had successfully conducted an operation resulting in the death of Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, aka “El Mencho,” who headed the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). In retaliation, the cartels launched a wave of violence throughout the country. Bafflingly, given the obvious enmity between the cartels and the government of Claudia Sheinbaum, Elon Musk implied that Sheinbaum is in the pocket of the very drug cartels with whom she is practically at war. Reuters reports Musk “responded to a 2025 video of Sheinbaum discussing cartel violence and alleged that she was ‘saying what her cartel bosses tell her to say.” Reuters notes that Musk did not provide further evidence. In fact, much of the strength of the Mexican cartels would actually be more accurately attributed to the United States. As USA Today writes, Mexican officials recovered a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, 10 long arm [rifles], handguns, and grenades, from El Mencho's weapons stockpile. Mexican Defense Minister, Ricardo Trevilla Trejo estimated that about 80% of the recovered weapons were purchased in the United States and smuggled into Mexico. This represents just the tip of the iceberg of the so-called “iron river” of firearms flooding Mexico's black market from the U.S. As opposed to the lax gun laws in the states, gun ownership in Mexico is “tightly restricted…[and] There is only one military-run gun store in the country.”* Meanwhile, President Sheinbaum is bucking American pressure by continuing to send humanitarian aid to the tiny, embattled island nation of Cuba. AP reports that last week, “Two Mexican Navy ships laden with humanitarian aid docked in Cuba…two weeks after…President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on countries that sell oil to the island.” These ships carried 800 tons worth of bundles of “Made in Mexico” goods, including rice, beans, amaranth and crackers — complemented by a bottle of oil, large cans of sardines and canned peaches. Another 1,500 tons of powdered milk and beans are expected to be sent to Cuba in the coming days. The U.S. has taken a more bellicose line with Cuba than it has in quite some time, even taking naval action in the waters surrounding the island, making Mexico's support that much more critical.* In another Cuba story, a diplomatic incident is unfolding this week regarding a Florida-registered speedboat. According to the island's government, the boat, carrying 10 passengers, entered Cuban territorial waters and opened fire on Cuban soldiers. The Cubans responded in kind, killing four people aboard the craft and wounding six others. According to the Cuban authorities, most of the passengers “have a known history of criminal and violent activity.” These include Amijail Sánchez González and Leordan Enrique Cruz Gómez, both wanted by Cuban authorities based on their involvement in “the promotion, planning, organization, financing, support or commission of…acts of terrorism.” The Cubans also claim to have arrested one Duniel Hernández Santos, who was supposedly “sent from the United States to guarantee the reception of the armed infiltration.” They claim Hernández Santos has confessed. American authorities have so far evinced confusion more than anything else, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying “We're going to figure out exactly what happened.” This from AP.* Whatever cloak and dagger games the administration may be playing in the Caribbean, they have been pointedly unsubtle about their saber rattling regarding Iran – and the reaction from Congress has been meager. While anti-war members in the House and Senate are pushing war powers resolutions, namely Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie along with Senator Tim Kaine, not even the nominal opposition party is supporting these efforts. According to Capital & Empire, Democrats are seeking to “dampen momentum” and even “prevent the Iran war powers vote from advancing.” Democrats Josh Gottheimer and Jared Moskowitz, both arch Iran hawks, have publicly stated they will not back the war powers resolution, and many others have sought to split the difference, saying Trump should only move on Iran after consulting with Congress. As the Hill notes, the Senate did pass a war powers resolution restricting the president's use of military force against Iran without congressional approval during Trump's first term, with eight Senate Republicans backing the Democrats in support of the bill. It is hard to imagine such a bipartisan show of force this time around.* In more disappointing congressional news, on Tuesday the House voted down the bipartisan ROTOR Act, which would have beefed up aviation safety standards, NPR reports. This bill was drafted in the wake of the deadly midair collision over Washington D.C. last year. This bill, principally authored by Senator Ted Cruz, who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee which oversees transportation, would have required wider use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast – safety technology designed to transmit an aircraft's location to other aircraft. The Senate unanimously passed the bill in December, with the support of the Defense Department – now styling itself the Department of War – but the Pentagon yanked its support just before the House vote, citing “unresolved budgetary burdens and operational security risks.” The final House vote was 264 in favor and 133 opposed, 132 Republicans and Democrat Lizzie Fletcher of Texas. Despite the lopsided majority in favor, the bill needed a two-thirds vote to pass and was therefore defeated by the minority.* In another aviation related story, FBI Director Kash Patel is embroiled in a new scandal based on his alleged misuse of the FBI's Gulfstream jets for personal travel. CNN reports Patel's frequent jetsetting has even caused delays or issues in high-profile investigations, such as the assassination of rightwing commentator Charlie Kirk and the Brown University shooting last December. According to a letter authored by Senator Dick Durbin, Patel's incessant misuse of the official FBI planes for personal travel “has even frustrated White House and DOJ senior staff.” This story hits particularly hard at the present moment, with images of Patel chugging beer in the locker room celebration of the Olympic men's hockey team going viral. The FBI then had to spend days running cover for Patel, claiming the director was in Italy for “long-planned official business,” which just happened to coincide with the occasion.* Our next two stories concern AI. First, a new Public Citizen report documents how the AI industry is deploying a veritable army of lobbyists on Capitol Hill, absolutely dwarfing not only their opposition, but practically every other industry as well. According to this report, more than one quarter of all federal lobbyists are now lobbying on AI issues, representing a rise in lobbyist activity on AI issues of more than 265 percent over the past three years. This report finds the Chamber of Commerce hired the most AI lobbyists in 2025 at 91, followed by Microsoft at 63, Meta at 55, Intuit at 51, and Amazon at 48. This meteoric rise in AI lobbying activity is sure to give the industry massive firepower in the halls of Congress, ensuring a favorable regulatory environment for years to come. This will be particularly critical for data centers, which have faced a rash of local opposition. Per this report, that particular subset of the AI lobbying industry has expanded by a staggering 500 percent since 2023.* For all its newfound political clout however, the AI business seems to have found itself a formidable new opponent – Pope Leo XIV. This week, Pope Leo addressed priests from the Diocese of Rome and implored them to resist “the temptation to prepare homilies with Artificial Intelligence.” The pontiff argued “Like all the muscles in the body, if we do not use them, if we do not move them, they die. The brain needs to be used, so our intelligence must also be exercised a little so as not to lose this capacity.” He added that “to give a true homily is to share faith,” and that AI “will never be able to share faith.” This from Vatican News.* Turning to media news, this week, Paramount submitted a new offer to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Paramount's new bid amounted to $31 per share and, following a period of consultation with the Warner board of directors, this offer was deemed “superior” to the proposed deal with rival bidder Netflix. This triggered a clause in the Netflix merger agreement giving the streamer four days to submit a new, superior offer. However, that same day Netflix issued a statement officially declining to submit a new, higher offer, with representatives writing “the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer,” means “the deal is no longer financially attractive.” With Netflix out of the way, Paramount, led by Trump-aligned billionaire scion David Ellison, will now proceed with their acquisition of Warner Bros., including their prodigious intellectual property back catalogue and the cable news titan, CNN. A friendly relationship with the Trump administration means regulators are unlikely to hold up this deal. The Ellisons have already acquired CBS News, installing Bari Weiss as “editor-in-chief.” It seems likely they will follow a similar playbook regarding CNN.* Our final stories this week concern the continuing fallout of the Epstein scandal. This week saw the arrest of former British-U.S. ambassador Peter Mandelson, joining Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) in the collection of high profile British individuals arrested in connection with the Epstein scandal. Meanwhile, at Harvard, former University President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments, including his University Professorship, at the Ivy League school following the conclusion of this academic year. Until then, he will remain on leave, per the Crimson. Summers regularly exchanged messages with Jeffrey Epstein about topics ranging from women, to politics, to Harvard-related matters as late as July 2019, the day before Epstein's final arrest. But the most noteworthy Epstein-related news this week came from Chappaqua, New York. On Thursday and Friday, Bill and Hillary Clinton testified about their relationships with the late financier and sexual predator. After much wrangling, these potential blockbuster hearings were held behind closed doors on the Clintons' home turf. What exactly was said remains shrouded in mystery. According to the BBC, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said he hopes to make videos of both Hillary and Bill Clinton's depositions publicly available soon. Robert Garcia, the Democratic Ranking Member on the committee, said a “new precedent” had been set by calling a former president to testify and demanded that Trump be called to testify before the committee next.

Two cases where the evidence tells competing stories. Both reaching moments that will define what comes next.In the Kouri Richins trial, both realities exist at once. The prosecution has motive evidence that stacks to the ceiling: five times the lethal fentanyl dose, a forged life insurance policy, a boyfriend she booked a Caribbean vacation with for the month after Eric's death, texts wishing her husband would "just go away." Two weeks before he died, Eric told a friend he thought his wife was poisoning him.But the defense has something too: four years of investigation and no proof of how fentanyl actually got into Eric's body. Untested cups. Unsecured kitchen. White specks never analyzed. An "undetermined" death certificate. Can overwhelming circumstantial evidence survive when the physical link is missing?Then there's Nancy Guthrie. Twenty-five days. No suspect identified. No body recovered. The evidence pattern suggests a burglar who got surprised—someone who cased the house, came back, didn't know about the camera, and improvised with weeds to cover the lens.Arizona's felony murder statute doesn't care about intent. If Nancy died during a burglary, that's murder. Defense attorney Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor, breaks down what surrender buys versus getting caught, why the person who hid the body also hid their own defense, and how the legal walls are closing daily.Two cases. Two critical moments. The legal reality of what's coming.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send a textGUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, president, Liberty Sentinel MediaFor a man who was a convicted sex offender and shady financier, Jeffrey Epstein sure had tight connections with many of the world's rich, famous, and powerful, like former president Bill Clinton, billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and the King of England's brother, Prince Andrew, to name just a few.Jeffrey Epstein is most known for owning Little Saint James, a small private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands directly to the east of Puerto Rico, to which he would fly in rich and powerful men to engage in sexual immorality with underage women. Now through the recent release of the immense Epstein files, the world is finding out that the iniquity taking place there and other places owned by Epstein was unspeakably depraved.But there's far more to this sordid affair than egregious sexual sin that pulls back the curtain on the world's elite and their mission for mankind.Columnist Andrew Muller writes, “The files confirm that Jeffrey Epstein was far more than a playboy blackmailer. He did traffic underage children; he lured politicians, businessmen, and academics to his island to commit debauchery; he did possess leverage on elites. But he was also at the heart of the Insider's operation in a big way, serving as an advisor, confidant, networker, and consultant for outfits that exist to destroy Americanism and usher in a global gulag.”Did you know that Epstein was on the globalist Trilateral Commission, closely associated with the Rothschild banking family, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and some of the top institutions of higher education, and was on the front lines of transhumanism, genetic engineering, and eugenics? In short, Epstein was connected to the Deep State cabal that seeks to rule and enslave the world in rebellion against God.One might think that with Jeffrey Epstein's death in a New York jail cell in 2019 that his dastardly life and legacy would fade from memory. But the opposite is happening— calls for transparency and justice are growing.Alex Newman, author and award-winning international journalist and founder of Liberty Sentinel Media, joins us to explain why the Jeffrey Epstein scandal is about far more than salacious secrets on a Caribbean island and what Christians need to know.---------------------PROGRAM NOTES:Alex is president of Liberty Sentinel Media and host of the podcast Conversations That MatterAlex is a foreign correspondent and senior editor for The New American

Recently released federal documents revealed that Jeffrey Epstein had been the subject of a previously undisclosed Drug Enforcement Administration investigation beginning in 2010 that examined potential drug trafficking and prostitution-related financial activity tied to the U.S. Virgin Islands and New York. The 69-page memo, heavily redacted and marked “law enforcement sensitive,” identified Epstein and more than a dozen others as targets within an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces probe that reportedly remained active for years. Despite the scope suggested by the document, no drug trafficking charges were ever brought, prompting Sen. Ron Wyden to demand fuller disclosure and an explanation of why the investigation did not result in prosecutions.Separately, documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act included a photograph of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick standing with Epstein on Little St. James, Epstein's private Caribbean island. The image was initially made public within the Justice Department's online archive before being temporarily removed and later restored, raising questions about how Epstein-related records are curated and reviewed. The brief removal triggered bipartisan calls for clarification, with critics questioning the explanation that the image had been flagged under standard review procedures. Together, the disclosures added to broader concerns about transparency, oversight, and the handling of evidence connected to Epstein's network and associations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation - CBS NewsPhoto of Lutnick on Epstein's island removed from Justice Department files now restored - CBS News

Whalehead Deadbear Brainworm-Lamprey went to Austin (where his pal who wants people to get Polio lives) and told the peasants to eat more cheap, nasty cuts of meat. He wasn't talking that way back when he ate veal from my plate aboard a cruise ship in the Caribbean. Bill Clinton puts the lie to Nitwit Nero's claim about when he stopped having anything to do with Epstein. And since they subpoenaed Hillary, they opened the door to deposing Melanoma. And she IS in the TrumpStein files!

The Dutch special municipality of Bonaire in the Caribbean is already experiencing dangerous heat and could see a fifth of its land disappear under rising seas by 2100. But the Netherlands is discriminating against these overseas citizens by failing to adequately reduce global warming emissions and develop adaptation plans to help them cope, according to a January 2026 Dutch court decision.   Also, poet and author Jason Allen-Paisant left his native Jamaica to gain a graduate school education and prize-winning poetry career in England and France. He now looks back with wonder at the green of Jamaica where generations of his ancestors fed and healed his family. He shares this history in his book The Possibility of Tenderness: A Jamaican Memoir of Plants and Dreams.   And urine is packed with nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen, which can be pollutants when they enter the environment unchecked.

The prosecution's case against Kouri Richins isn't just about fentanyl. It's about a timeline that points to planning.Months before Eric's death: Kouri books an all-inclusive Caribbean vacation for herself and her boyfriend—checking in the month after her husband would be dead.Weeks before: She texts that boyfriend, "If he could just go away and you could just be here, life would be so perfect." She allegedly forges Eric's signature on a $100,000 life insurance policy.Valentine's Day, two weeks before his death: Eric calls a friend and says "I think my wife is trying to poison me" after eating a sandwich she left him.The night he dies: She texts the boyfriend "Love you," then makes her husband a Moscow mule.After his death: Her internet searches include "can cops uncover deleted messages iPhone" and "how long do life insurance companies take to pay."Prosecutor Brad Bloodworth told the jury Eric had five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in his system—"intentional, not accidental." Kouri owed $4.5 million and Eric's estate was worth $4 million.Defense attorney Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor, analyzes how the state is weaving financial desperation, digital evidence, and prior bad acts into a narrative of premeditated murder.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Prosecutor Brad Bloodworth is building his case piece by piece. And the pieces are damning.Five times the lethal dose of fentanyl. A forged insurance policy. A boyfriend she texted "Love you" the night Eric died. Internet searches about lethal fentanyl doses and whether cops can recover deleted messages. A Caribbean vacation booked for the month after her husband's death. And a Valentine's Day incident where Eric allegedly told a friend "I think my wife is trying to poison me."Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers Live to break down the prosecution's strategy in real time. How do you prove premeditation through circumstantial evidence? How do you present financial desperation without the jury thinking "lots of people have debt"? How do you use prior bad acts like the Valentine's Day sandwich incident? And can all of this overcome the defense's attacks on untested evidence and chain of custody failures?We're taking your questions and analyzing what the prosecution needs to prove—and what could still go wrong.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For sixty years Washington and Havana have been having a geopolitical tango fuelled by obsession and ideology. The island nation of Cuba has been a socialist splinter in the finger of the Florida coastline, its regime infecting the region. Now, with the toppling of Nicolás Maduro and Venezuelan oil tightly controlled by the US, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel could be next. To get into the finer details of the US's new found dominance in the Caribbean, Venetia is joined by The Telegraph's foreign reporter, Lily Shanagher.Plus, former national security advisor John Bolton, voices the need for regime change in Venezuela, Iran and Cuba. Coining the phrase ‘Troika of Tyranny' in 2018, Bolton has had Cuba in his sights for many years as a rogue state. So what should happen next in the region? John Bolton lays bare the truth about Trump's decision making and the need for swift action.Producer: Peter ShevlinExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Today, Jess, Les, and Andy unpack a deadly and still-unfolding incident off the coast of Cuba, where Cuban authorities opened fire on a Florida-registered speedboat, killing one U.S. resident. Havana claims the vessel carried weapons and gear that could have been used for a terrorist attack and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has described the episode as an “unusual incident.” What exactly do we know about the incident? Is this an isolated maritime confrontation or the kind of flashpoint that could provoke a major U.S. response?

There's a blunt-force clarity to “The Bluff.” Cannons roar, cliffs loom, and survival comes down to grit, guns, and one badass mother who refuses to bend. Directed by Frank E. Flowers, the 19th-century Caribbean thriller follows Ursell (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), a former pirate whose quiet life is shattered when Connor (Karl Urban), a betrayed former ally, arrives with vengeance and unfinished business on his mind. What unfolds is part Pirate-themed, “Die Hard”-esque siege movie, part reckoning with empire, and, in Urban's words, “actually a love story with the volume turned up.” The film hits Prime Video on February 25 and also stars Temuera Morrison, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, and more.On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Karl Urban to talk about the sweat, the history, and the franchise futures looming on both of their horizons.When asked just how physically punishing the shoot for “The Bluff” was, Urban did not romanticize it. “At the end of every single day, I would go and get all the stuff taken off, and I would have a double tequila ready to go and ready for that car ride home,” he said. Chopra-Jonas raised the stakes. “I definitely needed a tetanus shot, and margarita, and a bottle of wine.” The production was shot entirely on location, on a tight schedule, and there was “no time for anybody to fall sick. There was just no room.” Chopra Jonas admitted. “But, I mean, it looks great, and it turned out great.”

From the BBC World Service: The United States says it will allow some small Venezuelan oil shipments to reach Cuba, providing a lifeline to the Caribbean island. Cuba's electricity grid runs on foreign oil, and without it, the lights simply don't stay on. Then, we'll head to one small town in the north of England, where a collection of 13 charity thrift shops on its Main Street is attracting visitors from far and wide.

From the BBC World Service: The United States says it will allow some small Venezuelan oil shipments to reach Cuba, providing a lifeline to the Caribbean island. Cuba's electricity grid runs on foreign oil, and without it, the lights simply don't stay on. Then, we'll head to one small town in the north of England, where a collection of 13 charity thrift shops on its Main Street is attracting visitors from far and wide.

Conversions still beat new construction in a lot of markets right now, so I wanted to get specific on what Bruce Ford sees across the Americas pipeline. I talked with Bruce Ford (SVP, Lodging Econometrics) about where projects are moving, where they're stalling, and what owners/operators/investors should watch in Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the U.S. for #NoVacancyNews.

Ta-ta-ta-da! David Waldman and Greg Dworkin serve up a tasty KITM that you'll prefer to the high-price spread! People are still talking about Trump's boring lying in the SOTU. The bits tying the lies together got some attention, but they weren't the point and weren't why anyone was tuning in or tuning out. Trump voters are so embarrassed, that they are pretending not to be Trump voters. Many are getting sick of pretending that they are winning. Many importers are tired of pretending tariffs worked. At least Mike Johnson only needs to pretend for a few more months. Hey, Cubans are now killing Caribbean boaters! Is that even legal? Whoa! Gops don't know what's going on in Texas, neither do Dems. When in doubt, throw money at it. Things are much more clear in the New York Governor race, and out in Pennsylvania. ICE remain the manifestation of MAGA weenie ethos. The SAVE act is dying, and the talking filibuster won't save it. Howard Lutnick is Trump's favorite dealmaker, so it probably doesn't matter if he can make deals. Jeffrey Epstein remains a concern as more villains are exposed, and more villains try not to be exposed. MAGA are reaching down and finding cognitive dissonance they didn't know they had. Kansas demands that trans residents behave how they want them to, until they do, then they'll demand that they act a different way. The FBI raided Los Angeles Unified School District Supt. Alberto Carvalho's home and office in relation to an AI chatbot company, which is the new hot place to do felony scams.

Send a textOn a recent cruise in the Caribbean, God began speaking to me about something I didn't realize I was missing — margin.Not more productivity.Not more opportunity.Margin.The space between my load and my limit. The breathing room in my time, finances, and emotional energy.In this episode, I share how Jesus modeled margin for ministry, Mark 1:35, why interruptions are often divine assignments, and how living too full can cause us to miss the very people God places in front of us.Because love requires availability.And availability requires space.I'll also give you practical ways to build intentional margin in this season and reflection questions to help you discern where you may be overfilled.If you're longing to slow down and hear God more clearly, this episode is for you.And if you want guided space to practice listening and creating with Him, explore my Creative Healing Bundle, Refreshing the Soul, or Ashes to Bloom.God still speaks. Sometimes we just need to make room.

I sit down with Puerto Rican comedian, writer, actress, and activist Corinne Irizarry for a deep‑dive discussion about Puerto Rico—an unincorporated territory of the United States, an annexed island that gives the U.S. some Caribbean street cred. As a native New Yorker, Corinne brings several nuanced perspectives on the Puerto Rican diaspora, from mainlanders to island‑born Boricuas. She holds nothing back, expressing her deep passion for her culture and her people in the way only truly proud puertorriqueños can.We also discuss the Bad Bunny phenomenon and that incredible cultural benchmark: the Super Bowl LX performance. In that moment, a slice of Puerto Rican lifestyle, history, and culture was on full display for the world to see. Irizarry speaks candidly about what it feels like to be treated as a “semi‑American,” to be seen as non‑citizens when Puerto Ricans are not only U.S. citizens but an integral part of the nation's culture and identity. Corinne Irizarry is a proud Spanish‑speaking Puerto Rican who also happens to be a proud American.

In this episode of The LatinNews Podcast, we assess Cuba's deepening economic crisis under intensifying US pressure and ask a central question: does severe hardship necessarily lead to regime collapse?The grinding strategy targeting oil supplies has sharply reduced fuel availability, paralysed transport and worsened daily life on the island. Yet despite visible deterioration, public order remains intact and the Cuban state continues to function.Joining us is Dr Jorge Domínguez, retired professor at Harvard University and a leading expert on Cuba, who has just returned from Havana. Drawing on first-hand observations, he examines the gap between economic collapse narratives and the resilience of the Cuban state.We discuss the evolving nature of US pressure, the distinction between embargo and blockade, China and Russia's limited roles, the political durability of the regime under President Miguel Díaz-Canel, and the possible short-term scenarios ahead.Follow LatinNews for analysis on economic, political, and security developments in Latin America & the Caribbean.

Veronica Ryan talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work.Ryan was born in 1956 in Plymouth on the Caribbean island of Montserrat and came to the UK as an infant. She now lives between London and New York. She explores personal, collective and historical memory through a range of sculptural materials and processes. Her installations and individual sculptures combine a wealth of things and techniques, often all at once, from found objects to time-honoured sculptural materials like bronze and marble; and from carving to casting and crocheting. Colour plays a vital role in her work, in the varied hues of textiles or plaster. And she creates forms as diverse as seeds and fruits, mats and nets, pillows and blankets and architectural structures. Through arresting and often multilayered arrangements, she evokes the minutiae of everyday experience (often with a profoundly personal meaning), makes reference to resonant historical events and their legacies, and addresses major human themes and rites of passage. She reflects on the meanings embedded in her materials, her relationship with psychoanalysis and unconscious processes, and her distinctive approach to displaying her work. She discusses the early influence of her mother's textiles, her visits to the British Museum and her epiphanic encounter with the work of Eva Hesse and Louise Bourgeois. She reflects on the importance of the poetry of Maya Angelou and chamber music and reggae, and she answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Veronica Ryan: Multiple Conversations, Whitechapel Gallery, London, 1 April – 14 June 2026 Hosted on Acast.

Day 1 of the Kouri Richins murder trial delivered competing narratives that will define the next five weeks in a Park City courtroom.Prosecutor Brad Bloodworth opened with a gut-punch — three memes allegedly found on Kouri's phone the morning Eric Richins' body was removed from their home. One read "I'm rich." Their three boys hadn't been told. Bloodworth presented alleged evidence of $4.5 million in debt, an affair with Josh Grossman, text messages about marriage and Caribbean vacations, internet searches for luxury prisons, and a fifteen-minute delay before calling 911.Defense attorney Kathryn Nester countered with the raw 911 audio of Kouri sobbing and telling the dispatcher her husband was cold. She dismantled the prosecution's reliance on key witness Carmen Lauber, who allegedly never mentioned fentanyl in her original statement and changed her story only under threat of prison. Lauber's own dealer recanted in a sworn affidavit. No fentanyl was found in the home. The Moscow mule glasses were never analyzed. The death certificate lists manner of death as unknown. And at 10 p.m. on the night Eric died, his friend said he sounded completely normal on the phone.Katie Richins-Benson's testimony anchored the day emotionally, describing Kouri as composed in matching pajamas while the family shattered around her — allegedly pushing to close on a mansion and sell their home while her brother's body was barely out the door. The defense challenged Katie's recollections and flagged the family's $100,000 private investigator as evidence of a coordinated effort.Nester showed the jury an optical illusion and told them the prosecution would see a witch where she sees a widow. Carmen Lauber and Josh Grossman have yet to testify.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
