Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you!It's not that I'm cynical; really I'm not. But sometimes I just need a little extra testimony to convince me that things are as they present themselves. And that's not a bad thing. Today we'll discuss how to get confirmation of our eternal destiny; how God's claims are even more outrageous than those of a professional athlete – and that's saying something; how God speaks to us to tell us we're on the right track (or not); and the risks we take in games and in life when we take people at their word.Check out Hal on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@halhammons9705Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

In today's episode, Cormac, Cole and Lucia catch you up with all things Citizen Science. In the epoch of ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini (no, not the telescope), it's easy to forget about the 20 Watt computer you're using to read this sentence. Yes, even YOU can contribute to cutting-edge astronomical research, as we present two examples of cosmic crowdfunding in action. Cole convinces us that nearby galaxies need some Clump Scouts, and Lucia shows us how volunteers have been the (tur)key to finding a new star-studded dwarf galaxy.

The Texas House gave initial approval to a bill Thursday that would ban citizens of China, Iran, North Korea and Russia from owning properties in Texas, moving the state one step closer to creating barriers for property ownership to people from countries deemed hostile. On a largely partisan vote of 85-60, the House approved the bill, making it the latest Republican-led policy once considered too extreme for the House now on a direct path to becoming law as the chamber shifts further to the right. In other news, North Texas' Catholic community reacted with surprise and excitement to Thursday's news that Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church; separate bills making their way through the Texas Legislature have banks and consumer advocates on edge, posing challenges to the state's financial infrastructure and its pro-business bent. At issue are two sets of bills regulating credit card processing fees, which collectively set a record of nearly $188 billion last year, according to Nielsen Report data; and the Academy of Country Music Awards — colloquially dubbed country's “party of the year” — assembled many of the genre's biggest stars in Frisco Thursday.

In middle Scotland is an area of Earth that doesn't play by the rules of physics—or sanity. The locals call it the Falkirk Triangle. This week on Creep Street, we chase the shimmering tailpipe of madness through Bonnybridge, Gorebridge, Camelon and beyond—where flying black pyramids purr above the villages and fields biomechanical greys march across the land like ants. It's part tabloid, part eerie testimony, and entirely terrifying. Was King Arthur's ghost really seen wandering the hills while UFOs buzzed his crown? Did an entire Scottish family witness a faerie nest built from hay and spit while a glowing triangle hovered above them?… Indeed. We've got exopolitians, we've got changelings, we've got flaming orbs buzzing 737s and a man who begged his captors not to be frozen in a glass jar. So grab your thermos, check your electromagnetic pulses, and keep one eye on the ley lines—we're going into the highlands, baby. And something ancient is waiting.

We discuss breaking news in the fight to save Medicaid this week as House Speaker Mike Johnson rules out cutting the federal match to states for Medicaid Expansion states. This is huge for Governor Tony Evers' plan to accept federal money to expand BadgerCare in the state budget. We renew our call for the Governor to publicly declare that he will veto any state budget that fails to expand BadgerCare. Despite the victory in Congress for Medicaid Expansion, Speaker Vos and Republicans in the Joint Finance Committee deleted expanding BadgerCare from their state budget Thursday afternoon. It's time for the Governor to fight for his budget. We urge our listeners to call Governor Tony Evers at 1 (608) 266-1212 and urge him to use his most powerful in the nation veto and publicly declare that he will veto any state budget from the Legislature that does not include proper funding for our public schools and BadgerCare expansion. Citizen Action member and child care provider, Julia Bennker, joins us to discuss the Joint Finance Committee's disastrous decision to remove child care funding from their state budget. Julia tells us about how child care providers are organizing a strike that will start Tuesday. Listen to the show. Read Citizen Action's statement on the removal of BadgerCare Expansion from Legislative Republican's State Budget. Citizen Action calls on Governor Tony Evers to use veto powers to leverage BadgerCare Expansion. Attend a “Hands off Medicaid” Town Hall this week. Learn about what's at stake for all of us, hear from our neighbors who are directly at risk, and talk about what we're doing to fight back and how you can get involved. Questions?

This week the Citizen screened a powerful documentary featuring witnesses of the MOVE bombing, one of the darkest moments of Philadelphia's racial history.

We are living through a time between stories—where the old economic narratives of scarcity, extraction, and separation are crumbling, and a new one is seeking to be born. At the heart of this transition is the question: What do we truly value, and how do we express that value in ways that nourish life?Imagine a society where every act of care, contribution, and kindness is not only appreciated but economically recognised. Schools, councils, and local businesses become part of an ecosystem where value flows back and forth amongst the people who create it. This doesn't replace wages or public services—it enhances them.This is a good step of the way towards a culture that's predicated on solid core values of compassion, integrity and generosity of spirit, and where we value what we care about, rather than what we can grab.  So how do we build this in ways that work - and do so inside the current system? This week's guest, Peter Kemp, calls himself a professional dot-joiner.  Peter is a UK-based digital innovator and social entrepreneur whose career has spanned web technology, media production, civic engagement, and alternative economics. He was a co founder of HullCoin, and currently serves as CEO of Value Squared (V2) Ltd and the Social Value Academy, organisations dedicated to reimagining how we understand, measure, and reward social value.As part of his work, Peter has helped to establish Citizen Coin - a digital, values-led complementary currency designed explicitly to recognise and reward social, environmental, and civic contributions that often go unpaid and undervalued in the mainstream economy.  He says, 'The current economic model—predominantly built around fiat currencies and centralised systems—is increasingly failing to deliver equitable outcomes, community cohesion, or environmental resilience. Citizen Coin offers a new approach: a digital token earned through pro-social actions—such as volunteering, participating in community initiatives, or engaging in sustainable practices. These actions are verified by local authorities, public sector bodies, or accredited third-party partners. Unlike traditional money, which is often scarce and controlled, Citizen Coins are abundant where social value is being generated.'Crucially, Citizen Coin is not a replacement for fiat currency. Instead, it operates as a complementary economy—a parallel system that strengthens local resilience, incentivises positive behaviour, and redistributes recognition for care work and civic participation.  More than a technology, this offers a shift in worldview—a move from scarcity to abundance, from extraction to contribution. As we face overlapping crises of inequality, climate, and mental health, complementary economies like this are no longer radical—they are necessary.  Citizen Coin is not just about digital infrastructure or economic reform. It is about choosing a new story—one where we honour the unseen, uplift the essential, and move from domination to stewardship. It is about birthing an economy in service to life.Value Squared https://www.value-squared.com/#aboutCitizen Coin https://www.citizencoin.uk/If you're interested in joining us at a Gathering, or in the Membership, please follow the links below: Accidental Gods Gatherings https://accidentalgods.life/gatherings-2025/Accidental Gods Membership https://accidentalgods.life/join-us/

How can people who want to become more involved in developing public policy do so in tangible ways? Two national organizations say their approach to that question is unique. Civic Genius and YOUnify have teamed up to develop what they call citizen assemblies, where participants engage in deep, long-form discussions; develop solutions to common problems; and then give their recommendations to decision-makers. The model is meant to be different from traditional town halls, where the loudest voices often dominate meetings. The organizations are bringing their model to the University of Rochester Democracy Center, and they are inviting local residents to participate. This hour, our guests explain how the process works, how it has brought about change in other cities, and how you can get involved. Our guests: Jillian Youngblood, executive director of Civic Genius at the National Civic League Stu Jordan, Ph.D., associate professor of political science and associate director of the University of Rochester Democracy Center  Brandyn Keating, CEO of YOUnify Margaret Hill, past participant in a deliberative process in Deschutes County, Oregon

Whanganui District Council is trialling a so called citizens assembly to help it decide the future of the city's public pools. Almost 400 people applied and 40 have been randomly selected, using demographic information to get a good cross section of residents. They'll be paid $500 to attend up to five meetings. Whanganui District Council chief executive David Langford spoke to Lisa Owen.

The entire congressional agenda is about sophistry and small-ball items with no narrative or vision to take to the voters. Yet when it comes to Real ID, something all voters, including liberals, hate, suddenly there is a rush to implement it after 20 years of delays. We're joined today by Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), who is one of the few members raising concerns about the Trump administration's implementation of Real ID. As someone who follows the issue of gun registries, Burlison is concerned that a Democrat president will turn Real ID into a mass surveillance state and eventually use it as a global ID that could lead to policies like vaccine passports. This is part of a broader anarcho-tyranny whereby our government casts a wide net around civil liberties under the guise of security but then fails to actually deliver when it comes to security issues. Burlison also warns that leadership is telling the RINOs the spending cuts are not real or will be gutted by the Senate. Finally, we discuss the disturbing decision from the Trump DOJ to keep Biden's dangerous abortion pill regulation that turns every mailbox into an abortion clinic and plans to fight red states seeking to overturn it.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1892, Homer Plessy, a mixed race shoemaker in New Orleans, was arrested, convicted and fined $25 for taking a seat in a whites-only train car. This was not a random act. It was a carefully planned move by the Citizen's Committee, an activist group of Free People of Color, to fight a new law being enacted in Louisiana which threatened to re-impose segregation as the reforms made after the Civil War began to dissolve.The Citizen's Committee recruited Homer Plessy, a light skinned black man, to board a train and get arrested in order to push the case to the Supreme Court in hopes of a decision that would uphold equal rights. On May 18, 1896 the Supreme Court ruled on the Plessy v. Ferguson case establishing the "separate but equal" doctrine, upholding the constitutionality of racial segregation. The case sharply divided the nation racially and its defeat “gave teeth” to Jim Crow. The “separate but equal” decision not only applied to public transportation it spread into every aspect of life — schools, public toilets, public eating places. For some 58 years it was not recognized as unconstitutional until the Brown v. Public Education case was decided in 1954.Homer Plessy died in 1925 and his conviction for breaking the law remained on his record. In 2022, 125 years after his arrest, the Louisiana Board of Pardons voted unanimously to recommend that Homer Plessy be pardoned for his crime. The pardon was spearheaded by Keith Plessy, a descendent of Homer Plessy, and Phoebe Ferguson, the great-great granddaughter of John Howard Ferguson, the convicting judge in the case. The two have joined forces digging deep into this complex, little known story – setting the record straight, and working towards truth and reconciliation in the courtrooms, on the streets and in the schools of New Orleans and across the nation.The Plessy and Ferguson Foundation is responsible for erecting plaques throughout New Orleans commemorating African American historic sites and civil rights leaders.  

Investment in data is the hallmark of successful Gen AI implementations, according to Citizens' Chief Data and Analytics Officer, Krish Swamy. Giving us a system wide view of how Citizens is leveraging Gen AI, Swamy joins the podcast to talk about harnessing the power of data to drive decision-making, enhance customer experiences, and navigate the complexities of digital transformation in the banking sector.

TOP STORIES - Democrats voice outrage as Legislature passes bill on citizen-led amendments; Florida school cell phone ban expansion passes Florida legislature, may stretch to high schools; Lamborghini boat with 32 people on board takes on water near Star Island; Byron Donalds cautious on property tax cuts; DeSantis said Hope Florida experts are in every sheriff's office; Woman accused of hitting 3-year-old with soda can at Florida gas station.

Dr. Dan Stock of Citizens' Coalition for Legislature Accountability joined the program to discuss the disastrous 2025 Legislative Session in Indiana. When it came to Governor Mike Braun, he didn't hold back. According to Stock, Braun suffers from "Psychosis of Tyranny" in which he is capable of ignoring facts other than the ones that help the position he wants and is capable of saying anything to the public. In the case of his failed property tax reform bill, "Psychosis of Tyranny" is causing Braun to be reviled by his base and damage that may not be reversable.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Checks and balances rely on friction among branches of government. From judicial pushback to executive oversight, constitutional accountability demands robust challenges. When legislatures, executives, and courts clash, we witness governance principles in action. Citizens must scrutinize these confrontations to ensure each branch upholds the rule of law and...

When you have a system where ministers almost never understand their portfolios, civil servants change jobs every few months, and MPs don't grasp parliamentary procedure even after decades in office — is the problem the people, or the structure they work in?Today's guest, political journalist Ian Dunt, studies the systemic reasons governments succeed and fail.And in his book How Westminster Works ...and Why It Doesn't, he argues that Britain's government dysfunction and multi-decade failure to solve its key problems stems primarily from bad incentives and bad processes. Even brilliant, well-intentioned people are set up to fail by a long list of institutional absurdities that Ian runs through — from the constant churn of ministers and civil servants that means no one understands what they're working on, to the “pathological national sentimentality” that keeps 10 Downing Street (a 17th century townhouse) as the beating heart of British government.While some of these are unique British failings, we see similar dynamics in other governments and large corporations around the world.But Ian also lays out how some countries have found structural solutions that help ensure decisions are made by the right people, with the information they need, and that success is rewarded.Links to learn more, video, highlights, and full transcript. Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)How Ian got obsessed with Britain's endless failings (00:01:05)Should we blame individuals or incentives?

(00:46:14)Is rushing inevitable or artificial? (00:57:20)How unelected septuagenarians are the heroes of UK governance (01:01:02)How Thatcher unintentionally made one part of parliament work (01:10:48)Maybe secrecy is the best disinfectant for incompetence (01:14:17)The House of Commons may as well be in a coma (01:22:34)Why it's in the PM's interest to ban electronic voting (01:33:13)MPs are deliberately kept ignorant of parliamentary procedure (01:35:53)“Whole areas of law have fallen almost completely into the vortex” (01:40:37)What's the seed of all this going wrong?

On the craggy coast of Wexford, Ireland stands a house with a reputation as grim as its weather. Once a manor of power and prestige, Loftus Hall is now remembered for something far stranger — a visit from a mysterious stranger, a terrified young woman, and a secret so dark it left an unfixable hole in the ceiling… and maybe even a body in the walls. This week, the Hosts dive headlong into one of Ireland's most infamous hauntings — where folklore, family shame, and the devil himself collide in a storm of spectral sightings and centuries-old scandal. From locked rooms and poltergeists to a priest's final showdown with something infernal, Loftus Hall remains a place where not even the dead rest easy. So grab your rosary, stoke the fire, and don't look too closely at what's sitting across the card table. Because at Loftus Hall — the Devil came calling… and someone let him in. Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Devil Came To Loftus Hall! Music and Editing by Gage HurleyCheck out VaporVerse: https://www.youtube.com/@vaporversemusic(0:00) - “OnlyKin”(2:17) - Intro(5:23) - Episode Start(25:40) - Loftus Hall's Most Infamous Legend(32:44) - Night of the Devil's Reveal(01:36:15) - Hellfire Club(01:41:11) - Final Thoughts++++Check out our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/creepstreetpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/creepstreetpodcastYouTube: https://youtube.com/@creepstreetpodcast5062?feature=shared TikTik: https://www.tiktok.com/@creepstreetpodcast#ParanormalPodcast #CryptidEncounters #ScaryStoryTime #TrueScaryStories #StayParanoid #MidnightShiftHorror #CreepStreetPodcast #ParanormalEncounters #ParanormalActivity #UnexplainedMysteries #CreepyStories #AlienEncounters #UrbanLegends #WeirdButTrue#SupernaturalMysteries #ScaryPodcast #HorrorCommunity #HorrorPodcast #CreepyTales #SpookySeason #ExploreTheUnknown #MythAndMystery #ComedySketch #Comedy #ComedyShorts #HorrorComedy #WitchTok #ParanormalTikTok #WeirdHistory #CursedObjects #SpookySeason #GhostsAndGhouls #ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight #IntoTheUnknown #OccultMysteries #ScreamingSkulls #HauntedSkulls #HauntedArtifacts #OccultFolklore #DarkFolklore #AncientCurses #CelticMythology  #SupernaturalLore #StayFreaky #LoftusHall #TheDevil #Devil #Satan #Lucifer

Then, John jokes with comedians Rhonda Hansome and John Poveromo as they chat with the Evil Army of the Night about current news, crazy politics, and the latest viral trends.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
