In his new book Coming Clean, Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that most on the political left have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of “hatred,” and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground. Eric Heinze is Professor of Law and Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of The Most Human Right: Why Free Speech is Everything (MIT Press), among other books, and has published over 100 articles and has been featured in radio and television and other media around the world. His new book is Coming Clean: The Rise of Critical Theory and the Future of the Left.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 16 - The True Gospel is Exclusive, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. We discuss Comer's rejection of the exclusive claims of the gospel. Citing key passages such as John 14:6 and Matthew 7:13-14, Comer redefines the terms to support his claim that these passages are about human potential, not salvation or coming judgment.

Story of the Week (DR):Trump Demands Intel CEO's Resignation, Says He's ‘Highly CONFLICTED' AND Eric and Donald Trump Jr. to Own Millions of Shares in New U.S. Manufacturing SPAC MMESG Analyst Tom Cotton: Trump's attack, posted on Truth Social Thursday, came two days after GOP Sen. Tom Cotton flagged Tan's prior investments in Chinese companies and his previous leadership at Cadence Design Systems, which recently pleaded guilty to unlawfully selling its tech to a blacklisted military university in China.Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan (~$70M golden hello in March; max potential $400M) directly addressed employees on Thursday after Donald Trump demanded his resignation over national security concerns, saying he has the full support of the board.Tan set up a venture firm called Walden International based in San Francisco that pumped more than $5 billion into over 600 companies. More than 100 of those investments were made in China, including deals with once-obscure startups such as Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.—today China's largest chipmaker—where he served on the board for a decade and a half.Today, the executive is still chairman of Walden International. And he's the founding managing partner at Walden Catalyst Ventures, which focuses on investments in the U.S., Europe and Israel. He also serves in that role at another venture fund, Celesta Global Capital.Tan stepped out of the venture world and joined the chip industry full-time when he became interim head of San Jose, California-based Cadence Design Systems Inc. in 2008. The executive, who had previously served on the board, went on to take the permanent CEO job the next year. He stayed in the role until 2021, when he transitioned to executive chairman, and is widely credited with restoring the company's fortunes. In late July of this year, the Department of Justice announced a plea deal that cost Cadence more than $100 million in fines. Employees at Cadence's China unit allegedly hid the name of a customer—the National University of Defense Technology—from internal compliance in order to keep supplying it. That organization had been put on the Department of Commerce's blacklist in 2015. The Chinese university was one of a group of supercomputer operators there that had conducted simulations of nuclear explosions, the DOJ said.Shares of American Eagle surge 20% after Trump calls Sydney Sweeney campaign 'hottest ad out there' AND Epstein victims are a growing political threat to TrumpThe Fall 2025 campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," centers on a deliberate pun between "jeans" and "genes.""Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color...

Program admission is solely based on “merit and academic excellence,” but applicants still need Ivy League-level test scores to qualify. This includes at least a 1460 on the SAT or a 33 on the ACT, which are both above their respective 98th percentiles.According to Karp, the internship was created in direct response to the “shortcomings of university admissions.”Here's the problem: there ARE shortcomings to elite colleges, mostly that they exude exclusivism and a commodity - but it's still a pretty rich for a guy who WENT to Stanford where he met his future funder and mentor to talk about how bullshit it wasJohn Stankey and the re-rise of the Jack Welch man-directive manbabies MMIt is incredibly encouraging that 73% of our employees took the time to respond to the survey, with 79% of those respondents feeling committed and engaged with their work at AT&T.

In this motion to suppress, Bryan Kohberger's defense team argues that law enforcement violated his constitutional rights during his December 2022 arrest by relying on a legally insufficient arrest warrant. The defense claims the Idaho arrest warrant had no legal authority in Pennsylvania, where Kohberger was apprehended, and that Pennsylvania authorities were required to obtain their own warrant to lawfully enter the home. Citing both Idaho and Pennsylvania law, the defense argues that the forced entry into the home without a Pennsylvania-issued warrant rendered the arrest unconstitutional. The motion also criticizes the heavily armed SWAT raid, despite federal surveillance showing Kohberger to be unarmed and nonviolent, and seeks suppression of any statements or evidence gathered during and after the arrest on Fourth Amendment grounds.Furthermore, the defense alleges that the affidavit used to support the Idaho arrest warrant was flawed, asserting that it included information gathered through unconstitutional means — including the use of Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) and invalid cellphone data — and that it omitted material facts necessary for a fair probable cause determination. They have requested a Franks hearing, which challenges the integrity of the affidavit by asserting that law enforcement either recklessly or intentionally excluded key information. They argue that once tainted or improperly gathered information is removed, the warrant lacks sufficient probable cause, and therefore all resulting evidence and statements must be excluded from trial. The motion frames the arrest as a product of procedural shortcuts and overreach, violating both state and federal constitutional protections.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:111424-Motion-Supress-Memorandum-Support-ATT-First-Warrant.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Dr. Doug Lucas tackles a common myth: that topical estradiol increases stroke risk. After hearing his wife's OBGYN repeat this warning, he investigates where this misinformation comes from. He finds that even AI tools and FDA drug labels conflate oral and topical estrogen data. Citing multiple large studies, Dr. Doug explains that oral estrogen and synthetic progestins may increase stroke risk, but transdermal (topical) estradiol—especially when paired with oral micronized progesterone—does not. He emphasizes the importance of separating hormone types, delivery methods, and doses when assessing safety, and calls for better education to prevent fear-based decision-making in women considering HRT.*STUDIES*https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20670199/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4927222/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28626058/

In this fiery monologue, the speaker dismantles the mainstream media's long-standing grip on the Russiagate narrative, pointing to new poll data, grand jury developments, and widespread public skepticism as proof the tide is turning. Citing sources like Tulsi Gabbard, Miranda Devine, and Rasmussen, they argue the media's refusal to acknowledge explosive new evidence marks an existential crisis for Democrat-aligned outlets. With censorship failing and public awareness growing—across demographics—the speaker declares this moment a potential turning point not just for U.S. politics, but for global resistance against disinformation-driven censorship regimes.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on new information about the death of Ozzy Osbourne.

Monday, 4 August 2025   that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: Matthew  12:17   “That it should be fulfilled, the ‘having been spoken' through Isaiah the prophet, saying,” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus was noted as admonishing the crowds not to make Him apparent. Next, Mathew says, “That it should be fulfilled.”   As has been seen several times already, Jesus is the Subject of prophecy. Things were declared concerning Him, His coming, His work, and the effects of His work toward those He was sent to deliver.   Matthew returns to Scripture to provide more insights into the proclamation of the prophets, saying, “the ‘having been spoken' through Isaiah the prophet, saying.”   As seen above, the last verse from Matthew noted Jesus not wanting to be made openly manifest at the time. Thus, we can conclude that something Matthew will draw from Isaiah will point to that.   Life application: Radio personality Joe Rogan made the news concerning his new idea concerning God. The article said, “he feared God ‘is actually created by human beings creating this infinitely intelligent thing that can essentially harness all of the available energy and power of the universe and create anything it wants.'”   The article also cited him, saying, “This whole idea of Jesus coming back, well maybe it's real. Maybe we just completely misinterpreted these ancient scrolls and texts and what it really means is that we are going to give birth to this.”   Citing another author, the article said, “Yampolskiy, an author and researcher in AI safety, added to Rogan's theory, suggesting that reality is just an ongoing cycle of Big Bangs - the explosion that kickstarted the universe - starting and restarting life over and over again.”   It's a problem when people don't take the time to think logically. These men are discussing infinites as being created by finites. Further, where is the Creator if something created does the creating? These are problems of logic that should be contemplated from time to time.   What is known as the First Principles will help a person to think logically about God. In understanding these First Principles, we can weed out errors in our thinking. In doing so, we can more fully appreciate the prophecies recorded in the Old Testament as they point to Jesus.   Was there a Creator? Could He tell the future? If so, what does this say about the coming of the Messiah and what He would do? Think about such questions as you study the word. As for the First Principles, a quick review of them is in order –   ‎1. Being Is (B is) = The Principle of Existence To say “There is no being” is self-refuting. One must exist in order to make the claim.   Being Is Being (B is B) = The Principle of Identity To say “Being isn't being” is self-refuting. One must be a being in order to make a claim about not being a being.   Being Is Not Nonbeing (B is Not Non-B) = The Principle of Noncontradiction If being exists (see Principle #1), then it cannot be non-being. The principle is self-evident and undeniable.   Either Being or Nonbeing (Either B or Non-B) = The Principle of the Excluded Middle If I exist (asking the question means I do), then I am being. If I am being, then I am not non-being. The principle is self-evident and undeniable; there is no wiggle room.   Nonbeing Cannot Cause Being (Non-B>B) = The Principle of Causality Something cannot come from nothing (and we cannot have an infinite regress in matter (or being) – see Einstein and Relativity). The principle is undeniable.   Contingent Being Cannot Cause Contingent Being (Bc>Bc) = The Principle of Contingency (or Dependency) This would lead to an infinite regress of causes, which is disproved by Relativity – Time, Space, and Matter came into existence simultaneously and are dependent upon each other. The principle is undeniable.   Only Necessary Being Can Cause a Contingent Being (Bn --->Bc) = The Positive Principle of Modality A being that cannot Not exist must, therefore, exist if contingent beings exist. The principle is reducible to the undeniable.   Necessary Being Cannot Cause A Necessary Being (Bn>Bn) = The Negative Principle of Modality The principle is undeniable. Only one Necessary Being can exist. Any being which exists apart from a Necessary Being is contingent and could Not exist. It is self-evident.   Every Contingent Being Is Caused by a Necessary Being (Bn--->Bc) = The Principle of Existential Causality The fact that there are contingent beings (I think, therefore I am, but I am not necessary) necessitates a Necessary Being. We exist. Therefore, a Being that cannot Not exist must exist. The principle is undeniable in and of itself.   Necessary Being Exists (Bn Exists) = Principle of Existential Necessity Contingent beings exist (see next principle); therefore, a Necessary Being must exist. The principle is reducible to the undeniable.   Contingent Being Exists (Bc Exists) = Principle of Existential Contingency The principle is undeniable. To say “I (a contingent being) don't exist” is self-refuting. I do exist (Principle 1), which is self-evident.   Necessary Being Is Similar to Contingent Being(s) It Causes (Bn ---similar --->Bc) = Principle of Analogy Nothing can exist that doesn't reflect the nature of the Necessary Being. To state something doesn't is self-refuting. The principle is undeniable.   Understanding the nature of God, reality, logic, etc., is indispensable in understanding why one religion is false and another may be true. Weeding out what is false through logic leaves us with one possibility concerning God. It is the God presented in Scripture who matches what is logically necessary.   It is our duty to read Scripture and see if what is presented there is an acceptable revelation of God. As fulfilled prophecy shows that the Bible is reliable, we can trust that the message of the Bible is from God, who knows the beginning from the end.   Lord God, help us to think clearly and logically as we approach theology. May our understanding of who You are and what You have done from the Bible give us reassurance for all of our days that what You have promised will, in fact, come to pass. Thank You for Your word, this wonderful word that reveals You. Amen.

China's economy is expected to maintain steady momentum in the second half of the year amid continuous policy support, with international institutions' raised growth forecasts reflecting strengthened confidence in the world's second-largest economy, economists and analysts said.经济学家和分析师表示，在持续的政策支持下，中国经济预计将在下半年保持稳定增长态势。国际机构上调的经济增长预测反映了对全球第二大经济体信心的增强。With the country's top leadership having clearly signaled consistent macro policy support to sustain the economic rally, they said that measures in the pipeline may include more consumption subsidies, additional public investment in urban renewal and accelerated reduction of housing market inventory.鉴于国家高层已明确表示将继续提供稳定的宏观经济政策支持以维持经济复苏态势，他们表示，即将出台的措施可能包括增加消费补贴、加大对城市更新的公共投资以及加快减少房地产市场的库存。Their comments came as the International Monetary Fund significantly raised its forecast for China's full-year economic growth to 4.8 percent in its World Economic Outlook Update report on Tuesday, up 0.8 percentage point compared with its forecast in April.就在他们发表上述言论之际，国际货币基金组织在周二发布的《世界经济展望更新报告》中大幅上调了对中国经济全年增长的预期，将这一预期值上调至4.8%，较其4月份的预测值高出0.8个百分点。The revision reflects the Chinese economy's stronger-than-expected activity in the first half of the year and the significant reductions in tariffs between China and the US, the IMF report said, as China received the largest upgrade in forecast among major economies.The IMF, which nudged the full-year global growth forecast for 2025 from 2.8 percent to 3 percent, also revised China's growth forecast for 2026 upward by 0.2 percentage point to 4.2 percent, due in part to lower effective tariff rates than previously assumed in the April forecast.More signs of de-escalation in Sino-US trade tensions emerged on Tuesday. Based on the consensus achieved during the third round of China-US economic and trade talks in Stockholm, Sweden, both sides will continue pushing for a continued extension by 90 days of the pause on 24 percent reciprocal tariffs of the US, as well as countermeasures by China.国际货币基金组织的报告称，此次修订反映了中国上半年经济活动超出预期的强劲表现，以及中美之间关税的大幅下调。报告指出，中国在主要经济体中获得了最大的经济预期上调幅度。国际货币基金组织将2025年全球全年经济增长预期从2.8%上调至3%，同时还将2026年中国经济增长预期上调0.2个百分点至4.2%，部分原因是实际关税率低于此前4月份预测中的水平。周二，中美贸易紧张局势缓和的迹象进一步显现。根据在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行的第三轮中美经济与贸易谈判达成的共识，双方将继续推动将美国对华24%的互惠关税暂停措施再延长90天，并采取中国的相应措施。The IMF's upward revision follows major international financial institutions, such as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, UBS and Nomura, which raised their expectations for China's economic growth, thanks to a 5.3 percent year-on-year expansion in the first half.国际货币基金组织此次上调预期，是由于包括摩根士丹利、高盛、瑞银和野村证券在内的各大国际金融机构提高了对中国经济增长的预期。这得益于上半年中国经济同比增长5.3%。Citing factors such as China's robust GDP growth of 5.2 percent in the second quarter, Goldman Sachs said in a report on Monday that it retains its overweight stance on Chinese equities in a regional context, while revising its 12-month target for the MSCI China Index to 90 from 85. The MSCI China Index is a stock market index that tracks the performance of large and mid-cap Chinese companies listed in both China and abroad.高盛在周一发布的一份报告中指出，鉴于中国第二季度经济增速高达5.2%等种种因素，其仍认为在区域范围内增持中国股票是合理的，并将摩根士丹利资本国际中国指数的12个月目标值从85调整至90。摩根士丹利资本国际中国指数是一个追踪在国内外上市的大型及中型中国公司表现的股票市场指数。Zhang Bin, a nonresident senior fellow at the China Finance 40 Forum and a national political adviser, said that China's economic growth has been resilient this year, as industrial production maintained solid momentum while exports to other regions offset the decline of exports to the US.张斌是“中国金融40人论坛”的非驻会高级研究员，也是国家政治顾问。他表示，今年中国的经济增长表现强劲，工业生产保持了稳定增长态势，同时对其他地区的出口弥补了对美国出口的下降。With 5.3 percent first-half growth, Zhang said that China's full-year GDP growth target of about 5 percent should be well within reach. However, he noted that the challenge of insufficient demand — and, therefore, pressures on the labor and capital markets — may intensify in the second half amid lingering property market weakness and the unfolding impact of US tariffs on exports.上半年经济增长率为5.3%，张表示，中国全年约5%的GDP增长目标应该完全能够实现。不过他指出，由于需求不足所带来的挑战（进而给劳动力和资本市场带来压力）在下半年可能会加剧，原因在于房地产市场持续疲软以及美国对出口产品加征关税所带来的影响仍在持续。This has necessitated further macro policy support, said Zhang, who suggested the issuance of additional government bonds in the second half to boost public investment in urban renewal.The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee held a tone-setting meeting on Wednesday that made arrangements for economic work in the second half of the year. The meeting emphasized that macro policies should continue to exert force and be strengthened at an appropriate time, calling for efforts to expand consumer demand by ensuring and improving people's living standards, carrying out high-quality urban renewal, and consolidating the capital market's trend of stabilization and improvement.张表示，这需要进一步的宏观政策支持。他建议在下半年发行更多政府债券，以促进城市更新领域的公共投资。中共中央政治局周三召开了一次具有指导意义的会议，对下半年的经济工作进行了安排。会议强调，宏观政策应持续发力，并在适当的时候加强力度，要求通过保障和提高人民生活水平、开展高质量的城市更新以及巩固资本市场稳定向好的趋势等方式，努力扩大消费需求。Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Golden Credit Rating International, said the meeting indicated that macro policies will continue to focus on growth stabilization in the second half.金信国际首席宏观经济分析师王青表示，此次会议表明，下半年宏观政策仍将侧重于促进经济增长的稳定。Anticipated measures include further interest rate cuts, consumption subsidies in more sectors such as travel, and greater advancements in using government bonds to purchase unsold property stock for affordable housing purposes, Wang said.王表示，预计采取的措施包括进一步降低利率、在更多领域（如旅游领域）提供消费补贴，以及在利用政府债券购买未售出的房产以用于保障性住房方面取得更大进展。 economic growth forecastn.经济增长预测/ˌiːkəˈnɒmɪkɡrəʊθ ˈfɔːkɑːst/macro policy supportn.宏观政策支持/ˈmækrəʊˈpɒləsi səˈpɔːt/

As many as 10 countries have granted Chinese passport holders visa-free entry since 2021, a result of the country's efforts to expand visa-free access for Chinese citizens, an official of the National Immigration Administration said on Wednesday.国家移民局的一名官员周三表示，自2021年以来，多达10个国家给予中国护照持有人免签证入境，这是该国努力扩大中国公民免签证入境的结果。Over 90 countries and regions have granted visa-free entry or issued visa-on-arrival policies for Chinese passport holders, Xiong Shuren, head of the administration's Citizens Exit-Entry Management Department, told a news conference in Beijing.国家出入境管理局公民出入境管理处处长熊树人在北京举行的新闻发布会上表示，已有90多个国家和地区给予中国护照持有人免签证入境或落地签证政策。Travel convenience for Chinese passport holders has increased during the period under the 14th Five-Year Planfrom2021 to 2025, he said.他说，在“十四五”规划（2021-25）期间，中国护照持有人的旅行便利性有所提高。Citing international consulting agency rankings, Xiong said the global mobility score of Chinese passports rose from 72nd in 2021 to 60th.熊援引国际咨询机构的排名表示，中国护照的全球流动性得分从2021年的第72位上升到第60位。Xiong noted that Chinese people's demand for cross-border travel has continued to grow.熊指出，中国人民对跨境旅游的需求持续增长。During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the administration has issued more than 300 million exit and entry documents for Chinese citizens, Xiong said.熊说，在“十四五”期间，政府为中国公民发放了3亿多份出入境证件。At the same time, through its hotline, website, smartphone application and other channels, the administration has provided assistance more than 480 million times to Chinese citizens around the world, he said.他说，与此同时，通过热线、网站、智能手机应用程序和其他渠道，政府向世界各地的中国公民提供了4.8亿多次援助。China has also taken a series of measures to attract inbound travel by foreigners, encouraging them to not only visit for the purpose of sightseeing, but also stay for work and business.中国还采取了一系列措施吸引外国人入境旅游，鼓励他们不仅以观光为目的，而且以工作和商务为目的。Liu Jia, an official at the administration's Foreigners Management Department, said that the number of international professionals who have been granted permanent residence in China has "increased substantially" during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.政府外国人管理部官员柳佳表示，在“十四五”期间，获得中国永久居留权的国际专业人员数量“大幅增加”。Since 2021, the administration has worked to attract foreign talent by establishing a system that facilitates their visa process, their stay in the country and inclusion in Chinese society, Liu said.柳说，自2021年以来，政府一直致力于通过建立一个有利于外国人才签证程序、留在中国和融入中国社会的制度来吸引外国人才。As part of the efforts, the country issued a new version of its foreign permanent resident ID card in December 2023, enabling financial, transport, health and other service providers in the country to verify foreigners' identities and provide services to them.作为努力的一部分，该国于2023年12月发行了新版外国永久居民身份证，使该国的金融、交通、卫生和其他服务提供商能够验证外国人的身份并为他们提供服务。Also, carrying the card and a valid passport with them, foreigners can enter China visa-free multiple times.此外，携带该卡和有效护照的外国人可以多次免签证进入中国。China has reached comprehensive mutual visa exemption arrangements with 29 countries, adopted unilateral visa-free policies for people from 46 countries and allowed citizens of 55 countries to transit in China without a visa, Liu also said.柳还说，中国与29个国家达成了全面的互免签证安排，对46个国家的人采取了单边免签证政策，允许55个国家的公民免签证在中国过境。Visa-free entry has become a major means of entry for foreigners who come to China for tourism, business and trade, he said.他说，免签证入境已成为来中国旅游、经商的外国人的主要入境方式。permanent residencen.永久居留/ˈpɜːmənənt ˈrɛzɪdəns/visa-freen.免签的/ˈvɪzə friː/

In this week's episode of America on the Road, Jack Nerad and Chris Teague each test drive fascinating small cars — the 2025 Volvo EX30 and the 2025 Hyundai Kona. Depending upon how you look at it, each one could be considered a big bargain … or a disappointment. We'll tell you our opinions and break down the biggest auto industry news of the week. Let's dive into what's on tap: Road Test 1: 2025 Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance Ultra Host Jack Nerad puts the 2025 Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance Ultra to the test, a compact electric SUV that delivers sports-car acceleration—0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds—while wrapped in sleek, minimalist design. Its dual-motor AWD setup generates 422 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, with up to 253 miles of range. Tech takes center stage inside with a single 12.3-inch touchscreen that controls everything—no gauge cluster or physical buttons in sight. While fast and feature-rich, Jack notes the interface can feel unintuitive, and the lack of tactile controls may frustrate some drivers. Sustainable materials, 5G connectivity, Google Built-in, and standard driver-assist features give it a modern edge. However, with final assembly and sourcing in China, the EX30 won't qualify for U.S. EV tax credits. It's a compelling, tech-forward EV for early adopters, but traditionalists may find it too digitally driven for daily use. Road Test 2: 2025 Hyundai Kona Chris Teague reviews the redesigned 2025 Hyundai Kona, now larger, smarter, and more refined than ever. The new model rides on an updated platform that improves ride quality, interior space, and driving dynamics. Its bold exterior features futuristic light bars and sharper lines, while the interior offers dual 12.3-inch displays, upgraded materials, and improved tech across trims. Powertrain options include a 2.0L base engine and a punchier 1.6-liter turbo, both delivering solid fuel economy. Chris highlights the Kona's strong value, easy drivability, and appeal to urban drivers and small families. Wireless smartphone connectivity and over-the-air update capability enhance its appeal. Downsides include some budget interior materials and AWD availability limited to certain trims. Overall, the 2025 Kona blends style, practicality, and features in a way that makes it one of the top choices in the subcompact SUV segment. Guest Interview: Jonny Grunwald, Pennzoil Spokesperson & Custom Car Builder This week's guest is Jonny Grunwald, a Pennzoil ambassador and respected automotive builder with a deep love for performance tuning and wrenching on machines. Jack and Chris talk with him about his path in the industry, his latest projects, and what he sees ahead for car enthusiasts and garage tinkerers alike. Industry News Roundup: Tesla Turmoil: Executives Exit Amid Falling Sales Tesla is in disarray as a string of high-profile executives has exited, including North American sales chief Troy Jones and key figures close to Elon Musk. With deliveries dropping and Musk's political foray stirring backlash, the company's direction—and stability—are being questioned. Stellantis Abandons Hydrogen Bet Stellantis is walking away from Symbio, its hydrogen fuel cell venture, just two years after buying in. Despite hydrogen's long-haul benefits, Stellantis is redirecting funds toward battery-electric vehicles, leaving Symbio's future in limbo. GM Flips Orion Plant from EVs to Gas Trucks In a surprising pivot, GM will convert its Orion Assembly plant from EV production to building gas-powered pickups like the Escalade, Silverado, and Sierra by 2027. Citing sluggish EV demand, the automaker is leaning back into its internal-combustion cash cows while maintaining battery module production on-site. Made in America Tour Update Jack shares the latest from the “Made in America” tour, highlighting domestic manufacturing, American-made vehicles, and other American-made items, including rock'n'roll, baseball, and football.

Hodges decision (2015), which legalized gay marriage across the U.S. Reflecting on an article by Noah Hickey in The Dispatch, Becket Cook, a former member of the gay community turned Christian, explores why marriage equality has seemingly faded from LGBTQ activism. Citing cultural shifts toward intersectional issues like trans liberation and racial justice, the discussion critiques the prevalence of non-monogamy in gay male relationships and questions the impact of same-sex marriage on traditional values. With personal anecdotes, references to influential figures like Andrew Sullivan, and a conservative Christian lens, the video challenges viewers to consider whether the "experiment" of gay marriage has succeeded or failed, while speculating on its future. A compelling blend of cultural analysis, personal testimony, and social commentary.

Donald Trump has decided to pull the United States out of the "woke" and "divisive" U.N. culture and education agency UNESCO, the White House said on Tuesday, repeating a move he took in his first term that was reversed by Joe Biden. The withdrawal from the Paris-based agency, which was founded after World War Two to promote peace through international cooperation in education, science, and culture, will take effect at the end of next year.

Edition No200 | 24-07-2025 - Stalin's Camps to Putin's Russia — The hint of a new Gulag Archipelago takes shape. Remember the Gulag? That grim and terrifying institution of forced labour, mass arrests and industrial scale torment that Stalin used to apparently modernize Russia. It wasn't just camps—it was terror, ideology turned into watch towers and razor wire, and millions of lives drained into Russia's unforgiving soil, for what seemed like capricious and measly ends. Above all, the Gulag was a mindset – of horror for incarcerated, and terror for those threatened with it. But it also served as a projection of power for the Russian state on the international stage. It said ‘look at the horrors we are prepared to inflict on our own people. Imagine, if we are capable of this, then what we can do to you, and your loved ones.' This is where so many people get Russia's rulers wrong right down to Putin. Russia's power, its existence does not come from the raw exercise of power, because in monetary term and most other indices that denote powerful countries, Russia trails far behind. No, Russia's power, its sense of worth, its status, its very existence cones from the idea that is feared. If Russia is not feared, Putin believes, and has hinted at many times in speeches, then it is not. To be fear is to exist, and to be ignored is the real existential threat to Putin and by extension all of Russia. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: CEPA, Gulag 2.0 — Russia Reopens the Camps (June 23, 2025)The Guardian, Gulag History Museum… closed (Nov 14, 2024) The Moscow Times, Kremlin & FSB order museum closure (Nov 14, 2024) Meduza, Citing ‘fire safety violations'… museum shutters (Nov 15, 2024)The Art Newspaper, Battle for memory at Russia's Gulag Museum (Mar 5, 2025) Barents Observer, FSB wants its own pre-trial detention centres (Feb 28, 2025) Meduza, The End of a Life Cycle (Jan 15, 2025) Wikipedia, Gulag Museum, Solovki prison campThe Guardian, Skobov sentenced to 16 years (Mar 21, 2025)Vox, Kara‑Murza's experience (Dec 1, 2024)Memorial (society) Wikipedia entry----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

 President Trump weighed in yesterday on “Obamagate” – the nation's most serious political scandal, ever. Citing evidence released last week by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Mr. Trump declared that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had personally led an effort to “rig the 2016 election,” then did rig the 2020 one and was guilty of “treason.” An Obama spokesman responded: “Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election, but did not successfully manipulate any votes.” This contention does not address, let alone rebut, the documented pattern of behavior by the then-President and his national security team in the aftermath of Trump's win that year.  DNI Gabbard has made a criminal referral to the Justice Department of President Obama and his alleged co-conspirators, saying “every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”  Amen.  This is Frank Gaffney.

This episode of STRAT delivers a critical wake-up call: our current emergency preparedness planning process isn't enough for higher levels of government. Retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer discusses how military-style decision support, operational planning, and intelligence integration can be better adapted for civilian use—before another catastrophe strikes. Citing real-world failures like the Palisades Fire, Guadalupe River flood, and Montecito mudslides, Kempfer illustrates how a lack of holistic planning and intelligence preparation results in unnecessarily devastation. He illustrates how concepts in military planning processes can be adapted to better enable the Incident Planning Process used by first responders and emergency managers to get far better results in mitigation and preparedness, and minimize deadly failures. It's time to demand more robust, proactive planning at state and local levels—and to ensure those plans are understood and executed, not just filed away. If preparedness is the key to saving lives, this episode is your roadmap to doing it right.Takeaways:Military decision support templates offer critical planning clarity.Civilian emergency systems often lack depth and proactive detail.Operational planning must include evaluating multiple courses of action.First responders often operate tactically, not strategically.Intelligence Preparation of the Environment (IPOE) is vital.FEMA's past efforts at deeper planning were derailed by politics.Plans without training, exercises, and understanding are ineffective.Enforcement against waste and misuse of preparedness funding is essential.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #EmergencyPreparedness #DisasterPlanning #IntelligenceSupport #IPOE #MilitaryPlanning #CrisisManagement #FirstResponders #FEMA #HomelandSecurity #RiskMitigation #PublicSafety #FloodPreparedness #WildfireResponse #OperationalReadiness #ContingencyPlanning #DecisionSupport

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy delves into the impact of smartphone use on children's mental health, particularly those under the age of 13. Citing a significant study published in the Journal for Human Development and Capabilities, she discusses how early smartphone exposure is linked to suicidal thoughts, emotional regulation issues, and lower self-worth, especially in girls. The study, which analyzed data from nearly 2 million individuals across 163 countries, highlights the detrimental effects of social media, sleep disruptions, cyberbullying, and strained family relationships associated with early smartphone use. Dr. Kathy emphasizes the importance of observing children's behaviors and interests to guide their development, advocating for mindful engagement and opportunities for discovery away from screens.

In this sermon, Larry speaks from a place of wisdom, experience, and heartfelt concern for relationships. Drawing on decades of pastoral ministry and premarital counseling, he shares one of eight key principles he believes are essential for building, strengthening, or healing relationships: the incredible power of our words. Larry begins by pointing out how many relationships feel like they control us, dragging us along rather than us leading them. But biblically, especially through Jesus' example, we are meant to lead in our relationships—not by force, but with service and intention. One of the most powerful ways to lead, he says, is through our words. Larry emphasizes that words have the power to create or destroy. From the opening verses of Genesis, where God speaks creation into being, to Genesis 3, where Satan uses words to usher in destruction, Larry shows how scripture affirms this power. He uses two stories from the book of Judges to contrast wise, humble speech (Gideon's response to angry tribesmen, which prevented conflict) with rash, defensive speech (Jephthah's reaction, which led to war and 42,000 deaths). The message is clear: how we speak matters—deeply. Citing both Paul (Ephesians 4) and Peter (1 Peter 3), Larry teaches that words can either invite the Holy Spirit's presence and blessing or open the door to evil. He underscores that our speech is never neutral—it brings either life or death (Proverbs 18). Words of comparison, belittling, shaming, lying, and arrogance corrode relationships, while words of encouragement, truth, blessing, and humility bring healing. Larry shares personal insights about how being a “non-mentioner” (someone who doesn't naturally share feelings or thoughts) can inadvertently harm loved ones. He urges everyone—especially those who find verbal expression difficult—to speak anyway. Love and trust can only grow when people know each other's hearts, and hearts are revealed through words. He closes with practical wisdom: avoid “death words,” don't tarnish people's dignity, don't lie (even in the name of kindness), and intentionally speak life-giving words—words that build, heal, and express love. Even if we struggle to use words well, Larry encourages us to start speaking anyway—clumsily if necessary—because silence cannot communicate love or truth. Discussion Questions Reflect: What kinds of words do I most often use in my closest relationships—life-giving or life-taking? How do others experience my speech? Apply: Can I recall a time when someone's gentle, wise words de-escalated a conflict in my life? What made their words so effective? Repent: Are there “death words” I've used recently that need to be confessed and repaired? Who might I need to apologize to this week? Act: What are some specific ways I can be more intentional about speaking life-giving words to my spouse, kids, friends, or coworkers? Grow: If I struggle with verbal communication, what are one or two small steps I can take to begin expressing my heart more openly?

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about victory and momentum—both in politics and in the broader cultural fight for America’s future. With characteristic passion, he reminds listeners that a win isn't truly a win unless it breaks the opponent’s will to resist. Citing figures like Ulysses S. Grant and Sun Tzu, Brett underscores the importance of pushing through resistance and securing lasting change, not just symbolic triumphs. He challenges listeners not to settle for temporary applause or half-measures but to pursue real, definitive outcomes. Later Brett is joined by New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa to discuss his radical competitors and his plan for NYC if elected. From the perspective of outsiders, it appears that New York is filled to the brim with radical leftists who voted for Mamdani, the self-described communist, but Sliwa calls on the millions of everyday conservative Americans who keep NYC running day in and day out. These are the people who built America's greatest city, and they're the people who will cast their vote for a better, safer New York City. "I am the candidate who can do it because I am the consummate New Yorker," Sliwa said. Sliwa sees no difference between the communist Mamdani and the liberals Cuomo and Adams. They all support allowing illegal immigrants to vote and many other radical policies. Curtis Sliwa is the only common-sense candidate in this race. Listen here for all of this and more on the Brett Winterble Show! For more from Brett Winterble check out his YouTube channel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III discusses the vital role of persistence in achieving success. He emphasizes that new ideas or vision boards aren't what you need to thrive in business or life; it's about consistently pushing through challenges.

He advises listeners to create a plan for maintaining persistence, even when feeling stuck or discouraged. The episode encourages reframing setbacks and using accountability to sustain momentum.

Citing striking data from Crisis Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, Mother Miriam shows that homeschooled children are far more likely to keep the faith, attend Mass, and pursue vocations. She warns that choosing convenience over conviction is not just irresponsible, it's diabolical.

In this explosive segment, hosts Tara and Lee break down newly revealed evidence showing that the FBI under James Comey concealed proof of Hillary Clinton's criminal mishandling of classified information while simultaneously launching the unsubstantiated Russia collusion investigation into Donald Trump. Citing reporting from John Solomon at Just the News and Inspector General findings buried for eight years, they outline how top intelligence officials, including John Brennan and James Clapper, knowingly advanced false narratives that helped shape elections and fuel geopolitical conflict. They argue this coordinated deception not only corrupted U.S. democracy but also escalated tensions leading to the war in Ukraine. The hosts call for a special prosecutor, declassification of critical documents, and prosecution of those responsible to finally break what they describe as a long-running conspiracy to rig elections and mislead the American people.

The Positive Aging Community recently hosted a dynamic discussion on one of the most pressing questions facing older adults and their families: should you age in place or consider making a move? Moderated by Steve Gurney, the session drew on recent survey data, expert insights, and robust audience participation to explore the nuanced factors that shape this deeply personal decision.Desire to Stay vs. Need to MoveA central theme emerged from the discussion: most older adults want to remain in their homes as they age. Citing the December 2024 AARP “Aging in Place in Community” study, Gurney noted that 75% of adults age 50 and older wish to stay in their current homes, while 73% hope to remain in their communities, even if that means moving to a different type of residence within the same area1. This distinction—between “aging in place” and “aging in community”—reflects a growing recognition that while the desire for continuity is strong, practical needs may prompt changes in living arrangements.Key Factors Driving DecisionsThe conversation highlighted several major considerations:Cost of Living: The primary driver for those contemplating a move is affordability. Sixty-five percent of adults aged 50+ would relocate for a lower cost of living, and 71% of those anticipating a move cite rent or mortgage expenses as a key factor1.Social Connections: The importance of social opportunities and avoiding isolation is on the rise. Loneliness and lack of engagement are now widely recognized as significant health risks, prompting many to seek out communities with more robust social infrastructures1.Home Maintenance and Accessibility: The cost and effort of maintaining a home, as well as the need for modifications to address mobility or safety, are major concerns. Forty-three percent of older adults expect they'll need to make their homes more accessible as they age1.Attitudes Toward Age-Restricted Communities: While age-segregated communities offer services and amenities, they are less appealing to many older adults, who prefer to remain integrated within broader, intergenerational neighborhoods1.A Four-Legged Stool: Planning for Meaning and PurposeGurney introduced a helpful metaphor for decision-making: the “four-legged stool.” The seat represents living with meaning and purpose, supported by four legs:Mobility: What if you can't drive or don't want to drive?Home Accessibility: What if you can't easily move around your home?Social Connections: What if you're not connected to neighbors or your community?Cognitive Health: What if you experience cognitive decline, such as dementia?Participants were encouraged to reflect on these questions as a framework for planning, emphasizing that having a plan—rather than simply hoping to age in place—is crucial for positive outcomes.Financial Stability and Community OptionsThe discussion also addressed concerns about the financial stability of senior living communities, particularly in light of recent bankruptcies among life plan communities. Gurney advised potential residents to be cautious consumers: ask about entry fee refunds, review financial health documents, and consult with professionals before making a decision.Watch the recording and review chat, etc. https://www.retirementlivingsourcebook.com/videos/aging-in-place-or-making-a-move-open-forum-and-q-aFor more information, resources, and the latest research, visit the AARP Aging in Place Study and the Positive Aging Community.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on a new set of tariffs from the Trump administration.

In this fiery and controversial broadcast, the host warns of a national turning point, alleging that Democratic leadership is fostering a climate of political violence and societal breakdown. Citing an Axios article featuring anonymous House Democrats, the segment claims the left is inciting unrest through inflammatory rhetoric, normalization of violence, and complicity with criminal elements like MS-13. The show connects these themes to broader accusations of media manipulation, economic misinformation surrounding tariffs, and elitist deception. A scathing critique of establishment narratives, the episode frames the American people as wiser than the ruling class, and suggests the country is at the brink of internal conflict. Viewer discretion advised.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his exploration of generosity, focusing on Day 96 from Orchos Tzaddikim (page 567, Treasure for Life edition). He emphasizes that generosity is a habit, a muscle strengthened through consistent giving, regardless of one's financial means. Citing the Rambam, he explains that giving small amounts frequently, like a dollar a million times, builds this habit more effectively than a single large donation. Rabbi Wolbe shares personal anecdotes, such as a man who always donates to the synagogue's charity box despite limited means, and his own efforts to give eagerly during the Torch campaign, highlighting the importance of giving with joy and humanity, not reluctance or kvetching, to instill a culture of generosity in future generations.Rabbi Wolbe stresses the highest form of charity: giving anonymously, where neither the giver nor the recipient knows the other's identity, as exemplified by organizations like Tomche Shabbos, which discreetly supports families in need. He recounts stories, including one where he fulfilled a friend's request to feed a hungry person in Israel, underscoring the privilege of giving with kindness. Quoting scriptures and sages, he warns against giving with a sour expression or avoiding charity, equating such avoidance to idolatry, as it prioritizes money over God's will. The episode concludes with a call to treat the poor with love, as they may be God testing one's generosity, with rewards proportional to the kindness shown.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 10, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on July 8, 2025_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about tariffs and inflation, asserting that the U.S. holds economic leverage due to its massive consumer market and production flexibility. He emphasizes that recent tariffs have not led to inflation or rising consumer prices, calling the economic situation "extremely benign. Later, Brett dives into the ongoing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that a real resolution would come from prosecuting high-profile figures like Bill Gates, who allegedly had connections to Epstein. He emphasizes the seriousness of the matter, dismissing any notion that it should be overlooked, and argues that targeting powerful individuals could finally bring accountability. From there, Brett shifts to a chilling discussion about scientific advancements in synthetic human DNA. Citing reports on scientists attempting to build synthetic genomes and potentially creating designer humans, he warns of the ethical and existential risks. Drawing comparisons to the Wuhan lab and past genetic experiments, Brett raises concerns about “playing God” and the potential for catastrophic consequences. He frames these developments as part of a broader pattern of elite overreach and unchecked scientific ambition, urging listeners to stay alert and informed. The segment reflects his trademark mix of skepticism, concern, and provocative commentary. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

A clear message: “Generosity is not dead—it's transforming”, says Ann Fellman, Chief Marketing Officer at Bloomerang. As headlines churn out fatigue-inducing stories of donor decline and uncertainty, Ann injects much-needed optimism rooted in data and strategy.“We are in it now,” Ann declares about the $70 trillion wealth transfer, urging nonprofits to act instead of waiting for the perfect moment. Drawing from the latest Giving USA 2024 findings, she reminds us that individual giving reached a staggering $592.5 billion, with 66% of that coming directly from individuals. “Individual Americans are ready and willing to support,” she tells us.This recent conversation navigates beyond donor behavior into practical strategy. Ann challenges fundraisers to rethink short-term vs. long-term planning and ‘get real about programming priorities: What must be done, what should be done, and what would be nice to do?' She lays out a compelling scenario-based approach to planning for revenue shifts, especially in a landscape threatened by grant losses and funding uncertainty.She also makes a strong case for recurring giving. “Would you rather have a one-time $100 gift or $10 a month for years?” she asks. Despite the low adoption rate, recurring programs offer sustainable, predictable revenue and are easy to implement with today's tech. She even floats the bold concept of creating a “monthly giving officer”—a role few, if any, nonprofits have embraced but one that could radically improve outcomes.Transparency, too, is no longer optional. Citing data from Bloomerang's Mission: Retainable report, Ann points out that while 65% of donors crave regular impact updates, only 36% of nonprofits actually deliver them. In an era when trust is easily eroded, communicating funding gaps and showing how you're responding builds confidence and inspires donors to act.As Ann beautifully puts it: “There is generosity.

“Inflation? It doesn't matter when the crisis hits — only that it will,” says Jeff Clark, veteran gold analyst and author of Paydirt. Speaking with Daniela Cambone at the Rule Symposium, Clark warns that the vulnerabilities in today's financial system — from surging deficits to ballooning debt — make a major disruption inevitable. His solution? Physical gold. Citing long-term studies, he argues that a 20% allocation to gold provides the best balance of risk protection and upside.Clark reflects on past bull markets, where gold stocks delivered massive gains — including 141 ten-baggers between 2009 and 2011 — and says he's hunting for the next wave of outsized winners. “If we can just catch 5% of them, the payoff could be enormous,” he says. He also makes the case for silver, noting the historic gold-to-silver ratio remains at extreme highs and hinting at silver's potential to outperform gold before the current bull run is over. “The goal isn't to predict the storm,” Clark says. “It's to prepare for it.”✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload the Ultimate Decision-Making Guide on Gold & Silver plus Daniela Cambone's Top 10 Lessons to safeguard your wealth (FREE)

Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America by Ann Coulter. French Revolution chapter 6 All of Ann Coulter's Books are a must have on every Conservatives' bookshelf. Buy them Today... All of them!   The demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic. The Democratic Party activates mobs, depends on mobs, coddles mobs, publicizes and celebrates mobs—it is the mob. Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to understand liberals.   In her most provocative book to date, Ann Coulter argues that liberals exhibit all the psychological characteristics of a mob, for instance:   Liberal Groupthink: “The same mob mentality that leads otherwise law-abiding people to hurl rocks at cops also leads otherwise intelligent people to refuse to believe anything they haven't heard on NPR.” Liberal Schemes: “No matter how mad the plan is—Fraternité, the ‘New Soviet Man,' the Master Race, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Building a New Society, ObamaCare—a mob will believe it.” Liberal Enemies: “Instead of ‘counterrevolutionaries,' liberals' opponents are called ‘haters,' ‘those who seek to divide us,' ‘tea baggers,' and ‘right-wing hate groups.' Meanwhile, conservatives call liberals ‘liberals'—and that makes them testy.” Liberal Justice: “In the world of the liberal, as in the world of Robespierre, there are no crimes, only criminals.” Liberal Violence: “If Charles Manson's followers hadn't killed Roman Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, Clinton would have pardoned him, too, and he'd probably be teaching at Northwestern University.”   Citing the father of mob psychology, Gustave Le Bon, Coulter catalogs the Left's mob behaviors: the creation of messiahs, the fear of scientific innovation, the mythmaking, the preference for images over words, the lack of morals, and the casual embrace of contradictory ideas. Coulter traces the history of the liberal mob to the French Revolution and Robespierre's revolutionaries (delineating a clear distinction from America's founding fathers), who simply proclaimed that they were exercising the “general will” before slaughtering their fellow citizens “for the good of mankind.” Similarly, as Coulter demonstrates, liberal mobs, from student radicals to white-trash racists to anti-war and pro-ObamaCare fanatics today, have consistently used violence to implement their idea of the “general will.” This is not the American tradition; it is the tradition of Stalin, of Hitler, of the guillotine—and the tradition of the American Left. As the heirs of the French Revolution, Democrats have a history that consists of pandering to mobs, time and again, while Republicans, heirs to the American Revolution, have regularly stood for peaceable order. Hoping to muddy this horrifying truth, liberals slanderously accuse conservatives of their own crimes—assassination plots, conspiracy theorizing, political violence, embrace of the Ku Klux Klan. Coulter shows that the truth is the opposite: Political violence—mob violence—is always a Democratic affair. Surveying two centuries of mob movements, Coulter demonstrates that the mob is always destructive. And yet, she argues, beginning with the civil rights movement in the sixties, Americans have lost their natural, inherited aversion to mobs. Indeed, most Americans have no idea what they are even dealing with.             Only by recognizing the mobs and their demonic nature can America begin to defend itself.

In a harrowing exposé, Tara reveals how over 300,000 illegal immigrant children trafficked into the U.S. under the Biden administration have gone missing—many handed over without ID checks or DNA verification. Citing whistleblowers, RFK Jr., and DHS data, she details how children as young as toddlers were placed in the hands of traffickers, facing horrific abuse and shortened life expectancies. The administration's alleged cover-up—including the suspension of DNA testing—is described as a return to the darkest roots of Democratic Party history. The show then pivots to Iran, with Tara warning that the Biden administration's and Trump's recent wavering on Israel's military actions could embolden Iran's theocracy. As the Tehran Times declares victory, she argues that failing to “kill the king” invites continued terror, assassinations, and nuclear threats. From trafficked children to Iranian escalation, this episode calls for moral clarity—and action—against institutional evil, at home and abroad.

President Donald Trump says the leaked U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency report suggesting Iran's nuclear program has been set back only a few months after the recent U.S. bombings is wrong, the nuclear sites have been destroyed – in his word 'obliterated' - and the reporters who published the DIA reports finding are 'bad people', 'sick' and are demeaning the hero pilots who carried out the U.S. attack; CDC Director nominee Susan Monarez says at a Senate confirmation vaccines are  "life-saving" and she has not seen evidence linking them to autism; Senate Commerce Committee approves Bryan Bedford, CEO of a regional airline, to be FAA Administrator; Claims of a Justice Dept whistleblower who says the Trump Administration planned to disregard court orders that would hinder immigrants deportations come up at several Senate hearings today, with the Attorney General Pam Bondi and former top Justice Dept official Emil Bove, nominated for a federal appeals court judgeship; Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell again points to the threat of inflation from President Trump's tariffs for not cutting interest rates; surprise win in the New York City Mayoral Democratic primary by Zohran Mamdani, a self-described Democratic Socialist.
