And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

//The Wire//2300Z May 28, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: BORDER SKIRMISH REPORTED BETWEEN CAMBODIA AND THAILAND. LOCAL UNREST CONTINUES IN SEATTLE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Southeast Asia: Border clashes erupted overnight between Cambodia and Thailand. A brief small arms skirmish in the vicinity of Chong Bok resulted in 1x Cambodian border guard being killed by Thai forces. Both Cambodia and Thailand have stated that the other party started the skirmish; Cambodia claims an entrenched position they were dug into was ambushed, while Thailand claims that Cambodia was digging a new trench on their side of the line and Thailand's soldiers were trying to warn Cambodian soldiers away from the area.-HomeFront-Washington: Low-level unrest has continued following the activation of ANTIFA elements to oppose the presence of Christian groups within the city. Yesterday, following the statements by city officials, Pursuit NW, the Christian Church group at the center of the recent concert/prayer vigil scandal decided to host a First Amendment Event on the steps of City Hall, to call for the resignation of the Mayor for the city's statements on the situation. As expected, their presence immediately sparked a riot which lasted until the evening. 8x rioters were arrested, all of which affiliated with ANTIFA.Virginia: Another boil water advisory has been announced for the Richmond area as the local water treatment plant experienced issues with increased turbidity and clogged filters.AC: This is a recurring issue for Richmond. Back in January the boil advisory was in place for five days, which resulted in most restaurants remaining closed during that time due to health code regulations.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: What actually happened along the Cambodian border is anyone's guess, however this area has been disputed by both nations for many years. Nevertheless, border clashes are usually one of the early indicators of old wounds being re-opened, so this will be a development to follow just in case it escalates. So far, both nations have begun moving more troops to this area, and have begun staging for posturing operations, so the potential for this to get out of hand remains a possibility.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

In a report earlier this month, the group Reporters Without Borders said, "Trump's second term as president has brought a troubling deterioration in press freedom." For two decades, the number of American journalists has been in decline. The Star-Ledger in New Jersey is an example of a high-profile newsroom that stopped producing a print edition and cut more staff in 2024.

SHOOTING REPORTED AT MILWAUKEE CITY HALL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Various diplomatic efforts continue as before. Ukrainian officials have met with Russian officials in Turkey, with little to no agreement being made so far. President Trump's visit to the Middle East continues, along with various trade agreements.-HomeFront-Texas: Yesterday an arrest was made in conjunction with the high-profile murder of an InfoWars employee in Austin. Authorities state that Eloy Adrian Camarillo shot and killed Jaime White as Camarillo was attempting to break into vehicles outside White's residence.AC: At the time this murder was reported, it was possible that this was a more targeted attack due to White's link to InfoWars. However, now this appears to be more of an instance of routine violent street crime.Wisconsin: This afternoon a shooting was reported at the Zeidler municipal building in Milwaukee, prompting a lockdown of City Hall.AC: As of this report, no details have been released and the lockdown continues. Some sources claim that the shooter may be a disgruntled employee but as this is a developing situation nothing is confirmed yet.Colorado: This morning the FAA issued a statement regarding a communications issue that emerged at Denver International Airport on Monday. Air traffic control personnel in the tower briefly lost radio contact with all aircraft for several minutes, due to an unspecified outage at a transmitter site.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The aviation incident in Denver is concerning due to how serious the crisis could have been. By pure luck alone, a separate radio system was used to contact one aircraft in the air on the Guard (emergency) frequency, who was then able to relay the explanation of the situation to aircraft approaching the airport. Though there are multiple ways for airports to communicate with aircraft, not all aircraft have these communications platforms (for instance, a small Cessna probably doesn't have an ACARS system, for basic text messaging between aircraft). The fact that somebody had to get ahold of a random aircraft on Guard is very telling. Most of the local news reports on the issue have cited closed-source "insider information" which obviously can't be independently confirmed. However, based on this speculative information, it sounds like multiple radio outages had already occurred, and that the fifth and final method of communicating with aircraft via radio finally died. This is concerning for a multitude of reasons, but especially because the aircraft already inbound to the airport had no idea what happened. It is only via this truly last-ditch emergency radio system that airborne aircraft were able to figure out what had happened. It's one thing when an aircraft itself suffers a radio outage or some other communications issue...but it's vastly more concerning when a whole airport goes dark, and can't communicate with aircraft that are already lining up to land.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

That's exactly how this episode begins—with a curious observation about a man spraying chemicals on a lawn without proper equipment, sparking questions about environmental safety and everyday awareness.The conversation quickly shifts to alarming territory as we explore a shocking case from Texas involving a mother who allegedly purchased weapons and military gear for her young son, encouraging his disturbing plan to commit violence at his middle school. With details about impromptu explosives and ammunition found by the grandmother, this story raises profound questions about parental responsibility and the early warning signs of potential violence.We also dive into the controversial decision by Providence, Rhode Island officials to fly the Palestinian flag at City Hall. This exploration of national symbols and government representation challenges our understanding of appropriate flag displays and what they communicate about our values and priorities as communities. Should government buildings display anything beyond American and state flags? The debate continues to divide opinions across the political spectrum.On a lighter but equally bizarre note, we share the story of a $640 Trump-themed watch that arrived with a manufacturing defect—missing the critical "T" to spell "RUMP" instead. This consumer complaint highlights the peculiar intersection of political merchandise, quality control, and customer service in our increasingly polarized marketplace.Throughout these seemingly disconnected stories runs a common thread about American identity, values, and the strange reality we navigate daily.

While Bill is on a research and writing sabbatical for the next 2 weeks we decided it's important to revisit the horrors we laid out in our Project 2025 podcast series, Trump's Project 2025: Up Close and Personal – and tie them to what's actually happened so far. The story in this chapter follows fictional Private Troy Marquis, who attends a tense early morning briefing at a military reserve base in Philadelphia. Troy is told that a radical group, Antifa, has invaded the city, prompting a second-term President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. US law currently prohibits the military from operating on US soil. However, the Insurrection Act of 1807 gives the president broad and sweeping authority to use the military to quell domestic violence or conspiracy that the president thinks is a domestic rebellion or insurrection. Donald Trump tried use the Insurrection Act against Black Lives Matter protests in his first administration and has threatened use the U.S. Military to shut down protests against him in a second term.As the soldiers in Troy Marquis company advance towards City Hall, tensions rise with the conflict between what the soldiers were told and what they see with their own eyes. In the midst of a peaceful protest against police violence, the situation escalates when one soldier purposely makes up a perceived threat, leading to gunfire. The chaos results in the deaths of dozens and many injuries, including their own soldiers. Overcome with horror and guilt, Troy grapples with the aftermath of their actions and the brutal reality of their mission.In a view from the other side, the fictional Julie Brown joins that protest in Philadelphia calling for justice after the police killing of two Black students. Despite her parents' concerns about the increasing hostility towards protesters, she feels compelled to stand up for her beliefs. The protest initially unfolds peacefully, filled with songs and chants, until military forces arrive with orders to disperse the demonstrators. As the military's authoritative tone becomes increasingly menacing, panic ensues when gunfire breaks out, resulting in casualties among the protesters. Julie is injured in the chaos and wakes up in the hospital, facing a representative of military intelligence who informs her that the protest group is being investigated for allegedly attacking the military. Once again in a trump administration up is down and down is up.We'd like to thank all the artists who volunteered their time to make this episode:Mark Hamill and Andrea Guidry who read the chapters and others who contributed character voices.

A recent state Supreme Court ruling stripped the Rochester Police Accountability Board (PAB) of its investigatory power. The decision was made following a complaint by the Rochester Police Locust Club. The PAB was already lacking disciplinary power. As reported by WXXI's Gino Fanelli, "The ruling allows for the PAB to do two things: it can exist, and it can review and recommend changes to department policy." The board can appeal, but there are still questions about what it will be able to accomplish in the future. We discuss that future with PAB Executive Director Lesli Myers-Small and Gino Fanelli.

Galva Mayor Volkert joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to recap the Monday City Council meeting. Galva's City Council welcomed three members following April's election—John Wirth joins for Ward 2, while Doug Anderson and Jayme Hopping continue serving their wards. The American Legion begins poppy sales for Memorial Day and invites volunteers to place flags at Galva Cemetery on May 11, 2025, meeting at 7 AM. Citywide cleanup runs June 16–21, with pickup available on June 16th; contact Galva City Hall at 309-932-2555  for details, especially regarding tire disposal fees. Galva acquired 44 acres near the park district, and the park district is looking to expand recreational areas. The park district intends to use the five acres to add a parking area, soccer field, and ball diamond. The city is still installing the solar arrays, and when completed, residents will have the option to purchase electricity from the solar array. Mayor Volkert said the city will never ask you for financial information. If you have questions regarding individuals going door-to-door selling electricity, contact City Hall. The city has demolished some dilapidated buildings, and they have one building left. Anyone interested in opening a business in the final building or building on the land from demolished buildings should contact Galva City Hall for more information. The park district taxing boundaries need to match the city boundaries, so land around the ethanol plant has been annexed into the city, allowing for a larger tax base for the Galva Park District. Galva added a couple of trinkets and pictures to the Henry County time capsule, which will be opened far into the future.

Donald Trump's tariff policies pose an economic threat to Rochester Hills, Michigan — and Republican Mayor Bryan Barnett has not been shy about speaking out. “More robots are made in my city than in any other city in North America,” Barnett told Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and former Philly Mayor Michael Nutter, along with Citizen Co-founder Larry Platt, in the latest episode of the podcast. “Our two biggest trading partners — and it's not even close — are Canada and Mexico.” Barnett has held onto the mayoral office for an astounding 18 years — in no small part because of his unique style of “governtainment,” as well as the realization that cities are firmly in the business of customer service. “Our competition isn't who you think: It's Amazon,” Barnett says. “If you can get something delivered to your house from across the world in 24 hours, but it takes four or five visits to city hall to get a dog license, people say this just doesn't make any sense. Most mayors are more practical than political, so while I am Republican, most of my day-to-day work is solving problems for our community.” “What you're doing is good for the soul of the country,” Reed tells him.

The next day, she sees that same hunk from six months ago... and realizes she knows him. It's Ryan, and his son, Simon, is a student at the school. Turns out Simon's been having some trouble.Jo and Ryan get into an argument, and he storms off. That's when it hits her—not only does she know him... he's her ex-husband.She tells the Love Club that she spontaneously married Ryan at 18, and it was a huge mistake.Then Karim proposes via Yahtzee, and Jo tells him she needs time to think. The Love Club suspects Jo still has feelings for Ryan. So Tory drags her over to his house—where he's washing car mats with his shirt off (of course). Sparks start to fly over the car... until a massive argument breaks out about who actually ended their marriage. Jo storms off and calls Karim. She says yes.But just as she starts planning another wedding, she finds out... she's still married to Ryan.She confronts him and asks him to come to City Hall to finalize the annulment. But first, he takes her on a surprise detour—to their old high school. Cue the nostalgia. Cue the flying sparks.Ultimately, Jo decides to break things off with Karim. But when she shows up to talk to Ryan—his baby mama is there.Heartbroken, she decides to move forward with the annulment.But then, Simon sees the papers and decides to play matchmaker.
