This week, we continue this craziness, with Robert finally getting his day in court, on 4 murder charges. But the cult decides that he's trying to extort them, for a new lawyer, so he is excommunicated.

Meanwhile, the leader of the cult is being more accepted into polite society, and even the Florida business world, all while more tales of greed, sex, abuse, and outright violence begin to leak out from even more sources!!   Get ready for your quadruple murder trial, be told you're no longer welcome in the cult that you killed for, and watch as the man who ordered you to murder appears at Chamber of Commerce meetings with Robert Rozier - Part 3!!   Check us out, every Tuesday!

Episode 1645: I Don’t See Any Horns

In this episode of Double Down Michigan, Executive Director Henry Williams sits down with John, the manager of the Michigan Gaming Control Board's Criminal Investigations Section (CIS), for an inside look at one of the agency's most essential — and least visible — functions.The CIS serves as the MGCB's law enforcement and investigative backbone, working alongside the Attorney General's office, state police, and local agencies to investigate illegal gambling and protect the integrity of Michigan's gaming industry. The section also manages an anonymous tip line for the public, fielding hundreds of leads each year and turning credible information into action.Whether you're a Michigan resident curious about how illegal gambling is kept in check, a gaming industry professional, or simply someone who wants to understand how a regulatory agency enforces the law, this episode pulls back the curtain on a critical part of the MGCB's mission.  Facebook: MichiganGCBTwitter: @MichiganGCBInstagram:  @michigangcb)LinkedIn: michigangcb

During the Clone Wars, Darth Sidious and Count Dooku assembled the Dark Acolytes — a network of Dark Jedi and fallen Force-users who served the Confederacy as assassins, spies, and commanders, yet were forever barred from true Sith status by the Rule of Two. In this episode of Star Lores, we explore the most feared dark side adepts of the CIS, from Asajj Ventress and Savage Opress to Sev'rance Tann, Quinlan Vos, and Sora Bulq, and how Darth Sidious used them to corrode galactic faith in the Jedi Order.

CannCon and Ashe in America bring on cybersecurity expert Clay Parikh and retired Col. Shawn Smith to break down the CISA GitHub credential leak, in which AWS GovCloud server access keys and workspace passwords were stored in plain text in a CSV file and left exposed for up to six months. Col. Smith explains why CISA has never had the cyber talent or leadership to secure critical infrastructure, and why the damage from a breach like this is almost certainly unknowable and irreversible without burning the systems entirely. Clay Parikh walks through how credential exposure at the cloud level branches into full network access, compares the failure to the Colorado BIOS password scandal, and explains why Jenna Griswold's office violated CISA's own remediation guidelines after that breach. The conversation expands to Albert Sensors, the CIS public-private partnership backdoor, and how local election officials are given infrastructure far beyond their ability to secure or audit. Parikh also responds to The Atlantic hit piece targeting him, noting that his technical claims have never been technically refuted and that the pressure campaign against him escalated precisely as federal election investigations intensified.

This week, we continue this wild story, with the cult growing in power. They start to retaliate against anyone who isn't an enthusiastic member.

Robert is accused of 3 murders, and awaiting trial, while the cult is held under a microscope.

In this episode of PeaceCast, NJN's Maxxe Albert-Deitch is joined Yoni Shimshoni, retired IDF Brigadier General. Some of our listeners may be familiar with Yoni's work as part of Commanders for Israel's Security, a volunteer movement of over 550 retired IDF colonels and generals as well as Mossad, Shin Bet (Internal Security), Police, NSC and Diplomatic corps equivalents. He recently wrote the opinion piece "Israel cannot live securely on force alone," arguing that overreliance on force is likely to provide less – not more – security for Israelis in the long run.

Episode 1641: Primary Aggression

Episode 1640: Protect Your Mind

A new episode of the Center for Immigration Studies' podcast, Parsing Immigration Policy, examines the issuing of employment authorization documents (EADs), the use of executive discretion in granting work permits, and a proposed regulation affecting asylum applicants.The episode features CIS Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy Elizabeth Jacobs and Senior Legal Fellow George Fishman discussing how millions of immigrants, including illegal aliens, parole recipients, TPS beneficiaries, DACA recipients, asylum applicants, and temporary visa holders, have received work permits without Congress's authorization.According to CIS estimates, roughly 15 million individuals currently possess work authorization and 4.3 million illegal aliens may be eligible for work permits. As a result, USCIS reports that it faces more than 1.7 million pending EAD applications.The discussion also focuses on a recent DHS regulation that would tighten eligibility for asylum-based work permits by increasing the waiting period from 180 to 365 days and barring applicants who are prima facie ineligible for asylum from receiving employment authorization and requiring the agency to pause acceptance of asylum-based EAD applications when affirmative asylum processing times exceed 180 days. Currently, processing times average over 1,200 days, while a new affirmative asylum applicant could expect to wait decades, according to DHS, before receiving a final decision on their claim.The episode explains that lengthy asylum processing times have created strong incentives for individuals to file asylum claims primarily to obtain work authorization and remain in the United States for extended periods while cases are pending. USCIS currently faces massive asylum and EAD backlogs, contributing to longer processing times across the immigration system.The conversation also examines broader legal questions surrounding executive authority to issue work permits under the Immigration and Nationality Act and whether decades of expanding administrative interpretation have effectively allowed the executive branch to operate an immigration system outside the numerical and statutory limits established by Congress.In his closing commentary, Mark Krikorian, the Center's executive director and podcast host highlights Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons' recent announcement that ICE identified more than 10,000 foreign students in the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program who claimed employment with “highly suspect employers” and that this represents “only the tip of the iceberg.” OPT, which allows foreign graduates to work in the United States for up to 12 months, or up to 36 months for STEM graduates, was created through executive action rather than congressional authorization. The Center has called for the elimination of the program many times in the past.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestsElizabeth Jacobs is the Director of Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies. George Fishman is a Senior Legal Fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies.LinksDHS Proposes to Amend Asylum Work-Permit Rules to Reduce Fraud and AbuseDOJ: Asylum Applicants Are Skipping Immigration Court at Record Levels; Their goal all along was work permits, not protectionDHS Issues New Regulation to Automatically Extend the Validity Period of Many Work PermitsWork Authorization Expansion Attracts and Embeds Illegal ImmigrantsGovernment Data Reveal Millions of New Work Permits Issued in 2009OPT Needs to EndIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

What happens when you experience MS symptoms, but don't yet have a diagnosis? In this episode of Living Well with MS, we hear from Maureen Haith, who first experienced neurological symptoms in 2002 but wasn't diagnosed with multiple sclerosis until 2019. Along the way, she was told she had clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) – a term many people are unfamiliar with, but which can be an early stage of MS. Maureen shares her experience of recognising early symptoms, navigating uncertainty, and deciding when and how to tell others about her condition. She also reflects on how discovering the Overcoming MS programme influenced her lifestyle, from diet and exercise to building community through local support groups. This is a thoughtful and reassuring conversation for anyone facing MS diagnosis uncertainty, exploring practical ways to take control and make sustainable lifestyle changes over time.

This week, we finish up this crazy tale of a basketball player, that seemed to be working against his own interests. He is signed with a new team, but is deemed "too fat to play", and suspended.
