As It Turns Out, President Trump Took Out Maduro – And Perhaps a Somali Warlord in MinnesotaYeah, that's right – Trump bags the big bad Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in a ballsy midnight raid on January 3, 2026, hauls him and his wife straight to New York for those long-overdue narco-terrorism charges. Blindfolded, handcuffed, perp-walked like a common cartel thug. Trump watches the whole thing live from Mar-a-Lago, probably with a Diet Coke in hand, grinning ear to ear. Victory lap complete.And just two days later? Boom – Tim Walz, Minnesota's own homegrown warlord presiding over a fraud empire that makes Maduro's schemes look like pocket change, suddenly "decides" he's not running for reelection. Coincidence? Please. The guy's staring down a tidal wave of investigations into billions vanished from child nutrition, autism programs, housing, and those ghostly childcare centers. Walz bails faster than a rat off a sinking ship, citing he can't "fully commit" – translation: the feds are closing in, and an indictment would make campaigning awkward.This isn't oversight failure; it's a full-blown Somali-linked grift network thriving under Walz's watch. Feeding Our Future alone: $250+ million stolen, dozens convicted, mostly Somali defendants turning relief funds into luxury cars and wire transfers. Then the childcare explosion – empty buildings raking in millions, viral videos exposing the scam, feds freezing funds and surging agents into Minneapolis. And who's in the mix? Keith Ellison, the AG who allegedly had to personally sign off on fraud probes – talk about a bottleneck designed for bottlenecks. Ilhan Omar, queen of the district where it all went down, with fraudsters mysteriously donating to her campaigns. Ties? Mountains of circumstantial smoke, and where there's smoke, indictments are usually cooking.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Venezuela operation has been marketed as a flawless military achievement, and from a purely tactical standpoint, that assessment may be fair. The operators involved are unquestionably elite, and the United States retains unmatched capacity for precision action. The problem is not military competence but credibility. This administration has a long record of half-truths, selective framing, and narrative manipulation, which makes any official explanation suspect by default. The timing of the operation—coinciding with renewed pressure and exposure surrounding the Epstein scandal—raises unavoidable questions about motive. History shows that foreign spectacle is often deployed when domestic scandals threaten powerful interests, and the Epstein network represents exactly that kind of threat. In that context, skepticism is not conspiratorial; it is rational.The justification for targeting Venezuela collapses further when examined through the lens of drug enforcement. Venezuela is not a primary producer of fentanyl and plays only a secondary role as a transit point in broader cocaine trafficking networks. The real drivers of the opioid crisis are Mexican cartels like CJNG and the Chapitos, while cocaine production overwhelmingly originates in Colombia. Selectively framing Venezuela as the central villain exposes the operation as politically convenient rather than strategically honest. Meanwhile, the core causes of America's drug crisis—addiction, mental health, economic despair, and lack of treatment infrastructure—remain chronically underfunded and ignored. The result is a flashy distraction that creates headlines without solving problems, buying time for elites while accountability is delayed once again. In short, the operation may look impressive, but its premise does not hold up under scrutiny—and that dog does not hunt.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Nikola Jokic goes down with a knee injury — and suddenly the volume spikes to kill the NBA's 65-game minimum for MVP and All-NBA eligibility. Coincidence? Or the latest example of the league (and its loudest voices) trying to rewrite the definition of greatness in real time?In the first On The Ball episode of 2026, Ric Bucher explains why the 65-game rule shouldn't be rescinded just because a superstar might miss out. Awards aren't about who we think should win based on peak moments, reputation, or “what he'd do if healthy.” They're about who actually delivered over a full season — and availability has always been part of the job.Ric revisits why the rule was created (hello, load management), why voters needed a clear benchmark, and why removing it would encourage exactly what fans hate: rewarding partial seasons while pretending it's the same as dominance over 82 games. He also calls out the shifting standards in NBA media, the growing subjectivity of awards voting, and the obsession with making everything “perfect” — even when perfection creates new injustices.Plus: Ric makes the case that we should be expanding eligibility rules, creating one to deem who is eligible to be an All-Star.Timestamps 00:00 — Intro: “Cooking with gas” / welcome to On The Ball 00:31 — Ric's platforms + book tease: the value of being coachable 01:32 — First pod of 2026: thank you + what's changing the show today 02:03 — The new flashpoint: NBA's 65-game rule + Jokic injury fallout 02:55 — Jokic vs SGA: how the MVP race shifts 03:16 — Why Ric disagrees with eliminating the rule 04:12 — Why the NBA instituted 65 games: load management + voter clarity 05:07 — The voting problem: who has ballots now (and why it matters) 06:35 — Why 65 games is “etched in stone” 07:23 — The old standard: playing 82 used to be the flex 08:03 — “Perfect” officiating vs reality: the replay obsession analogy 09:20 — The hard truth: injustice happens — that's sports (and life) 10:08 — Injuries, modern training, and why the real issue isn't awards 11:07 — Why changing awards rules dodges the real problem 12:32 — Supermax + health: should durability matter? 14:02 — Awards aren't for “who we think”: they're for who proved it 14:40 — The Bill Walton precedent: MVP with 58 games (and the controversy) 16:45 — The fear: rewarding stars for half-seasons 17:26 — Standards eroding: media, mentorship, and the “old head” dilemma 20:28 — Social media pedestal culture + rule changes for entertainment 21:25 — Why removing 65 games diminishes awards 22:12 — Ric's counter: eligibility rules for All-Star voting instead 22:52 — LeBron + All-Star weekend: honor him, don't gift him a spot 25:05 — Emotional policy-making is bad policy 25:47 — What's next: boosting competition, addressing tanking 26:54 — Outro#NBA #NikolaJokic #MVP #AllNBA #LoadManagement #NBAMedia #OnTheBall #RicBucher #BasketballPodcast #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

This episode is with Anna George, co-founder & CEO of CowSwap / Cow Protocol (originally built inside Gnosis, spun out in 2022). What's wild is Anna spent about a decade in humanitarian/UN work before getting pulled into crypto in 2017 - partly because she wanted impact, and partly because UN bureaucracy will make anyone want to run away and build something. We talk about the real CowSwap origin story: the early DEX experiments that didn't work (including six-hour auctions… lol), the liquidity chicken-and-egg problem, and how CowSwap finally hit product-market fit with intent-based trading, MEV protection, and “you only pay gas if the trade actually executes.” We also cover where they're going next: cross-chain swaps that don't feel like bridging hell, deeper DeFi integrations (including Aave), and a bigger push to make crypto UX not terrible.

Have you ever felt like the universe was speaking directly to you through coincidence? Writer and philosopher J.F. Martel joins Dr. Bernard Beitman to explore how synchronicity can be more than chance, but rather an artistic conversation between mind and world. Together they dive into Jung's idea of acausal meaning, the playful intelligence behind coincidence, and how art might reveal the deeper order of reality itself.Martel is a writer and lecturer on art, culture, and philosophy. He is the author of Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice, recently reissued by Basic Books with a foreword by Donna Tartt. With musicologist Phil Ford, Martel co-hosts the popular podcast Weird Studies on SpectreVision Radio.http://www.reclaimingart.com Reclaiming Art in the Age of Artifice: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/tit...

A Vancouver born native, Chef David Speight fell in love with our industry as most of us have, out of need and then finding purpose and meaning in the cooking and hospitality. After cooking and running some larger restaurant operations, he was presented with the opportunity to run the behemoth that is GM Place and did so successfully at the same time that the Canucks had their best years. Coincidence, I don't think so. Then he left for the biggest challenge of his career, running all the food operations at the University of British Columbia, with potentially 70000 people eat everyday. His passion for food security, potential food waste and sustainability has put his at the forefront of Chefs who are feed ing so many people and considering all factors involved with that process, not just the cooking.

Some signs arrive softly — a feeling, a memory, a sense of someone standing just behind you. Others arrive through a device that shouldn't be speaking at all. In today's episode, we explore a story of grief, connection, and a message delivered through a voice no one expected to hear again. After the sudden loss of her beloved father, a listener found comfort in the small ways he still seemed to stay close: a familiar warning whispered in her mind, a calming presence during a medical emergency, and the sense that he was still looking out for “his girl.” But nothing compared to the moment her quiet house echoed with the unmistakable phrase her dad always used — spoken not from memory, but from her Alexa device. Twice. Then again weeks later. Was it a glitch? Coincidence? Or a father's way of stepping through the thin places to remind his daughter she wasn't facing life alone? #Paranormal #AfterlifeSigns #RealGhostStories #FamilySpirits #HauntedHomes #AlexaParanormal #EVPActivity #LovedOnesBeyond #GhostlyMessages  Love real ghost stories?

Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow is FIRED UP! This week, the podcast is packed with explosive takes on the biggest stories in sports and poker. Mike holds nothing back as he dives into:

Yet again, Washington's Democratic Socialist representative Sean Scott wants to tax businesses into oblivion with a statewide payroll tax—because apparently $9.4 billion in new taxes this year wasn't enough. While moderate Bellevue Mayor Lynn Robinson warns this will be "detrimental to everybody," Scott thinks he can squeeze $3 billion more from the corporations that actually fund everything in this state. What could go wrong?We break down how Seattle's payroll tax already pushed 10,000 jobs to Bellevue, where businesses can operate without getting fleeced at every turn. Meanwhile, Scott—a proud member of Democratic Socialists of America—argues we need to "spread the wealth around" while completely ignoring that these same businesses provide the tax base that funds his beloved social programs. Meta just declined to expand in Bellevue this week. Coincidence?Is anyone surprised that socialism's track record of spectacular failure doesn't deter these ideologues? How long before Washington becomes California 2.0 with a taxpayer exodus every 30 minutes? Subscribe and hit the bell—because this trainwreck is just getting started.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're revisiting one of the most disturbing and debated questions of the year: Was Bryan Kohberger just a socially awkward PhD student obsessed with criminology—or a meticulous killer hiding in plain sight? In this full-length breakdown, Tony Brueski sits down with former felony prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis, and later, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, to unravel both sides of the psychological and legal battlefield surrounding the Idaho student murder case. From disappearing cell phone signals to Amazon receipts allegedly showing purchases of masks and knives months before the crime, the evidence paints a chilling picture of intent and foresight. Prosecutors say these details form a digital breadcrumb trail of premeditation—a methodical pattern that includes turning off his phone during the murders, changing his license plates afterward, and buying a new knife sharpener like it was just another household necessity. Faddis breaks down how prosecutors could use this mountain of circumstantial evidence to prove intent and pattern, while the defense may counter with claims of coincidence—or even neurodivergence, arguing that Kohberger's socially awkward behavior is being misinterpreted as malice. Could an autism spectrum defense help humanize him in front of a jury—or would it risk sounding like an excuse for cold, calculated planning? Then, Shavaun Scott joins Tony for the darker dive — exploring the unsettling parallels between Kohberger's alleged actions and cinematic killers like Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) and Norman Bates (Psycho). From his mirror selfie and sterile composure to online alter egos like “Papa Rodger” commenting about the murders in real time, they examine how narcissism, ego, and obsession with control may have blended into performance. Was Kohberger studying criminology to understand crime—or to perfect it? And if these clues were left on purpose, what was the endgame: to prove superiority, or to be remembered?

Could an autism spectrum defense help humanize him in front of a jury—or would it risk sounding like an excuse for cold, calculated planning? Then, Shavaun Scott joins Tony for the darker dive — exploring the unsettling parallels between Kohberger's alleged actions and cinematic killers like Patrick Bateman (American Psycho) and Norman Bates (Psycho). From his mirror selfie and sterile composure to online alter egos like “Papa Rodger” commenting about the murders in real time, they examine how narcissism, ego, and obsession with control may have blended into performance. Was Kohberger studying criminology to understand crime—or to perfect it? And if these clues were left on purpose, what was the endgame: to prove superiority, or to be remembered?

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we're revisiting one of the most disturbing and debated questions of the year: Was Bryan Kohberger just a socially awkward PhD student obsessed with criminology—or a meticulous killer hiding in plain sight? In this full-length breakdown, Tony Brueski sits down with former felony prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis, and later, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, to unravel both sides of the psychological and legal battlefield surrounding the Idaho student murder case. From disappearing cell phone signals to Amazon receipts allegedly showing purchases of masks and knives months before the crime, the evidence paints a chilling picture of intent and foresight.

Old houses have a way of holding on to memories. But in one century home just outside Toronto, those memories were very much alive. When three friends moved into the creaky, uneven rooms of a Stouffville farmhouse, they expected a bit of character — not nightly whispers drifting from the dining room. Not footsteps pacing the hall. Not the feeling of a child quietly standing in the corner, just out of sight. Then came the name — spelled one letter at a time through a crystal pendulum: J-A-C-O-B. Months later, as they packed to leave, the ceiling gave up its secret — a small wooden box hidden above the stairs. Inside were marbles, a sports card, and a note written in a child's careful hand. Two words: Jacob Williams. Coincidence? Or proof that the boy they'd spoken to had been listening all along? #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #ChildSpirit #RealHaunting #GhostStories #ParanormalActivity #Poltergeist #HauntedHome #RealGhostStoriesOnline #CreepyEncounters Love real ghost stories?

After a month-long break, Bryan and Mario make their triumphant return to the mics… for about five minutes. Just as the guys start catching up, Nintendo decides to remind the world who's boss—swiftly cutting their internet the moment they react to the brand-new Super Mario Galaxy movie trailer. Coincidence? The boys think not.Once the tech gods allow the stream to resurrect, the duo settles in for a packed episode. Mario talks about finally getting that long-overdue shoulder surgery, Bryan updates everyone on his continued domination of his weight-loss journey, and their retro video-game hunting stories go international as Canada joins the adventure log.But that's not all—Bryan loses his mind over a modded Need for Speed: Carbon trailer, the guys shout out the newest nations punching their ticket to the upcoming World Cup, and they even debate whether Megadeth may have dropped a rare miss with their newest track.A chaotic return. A global hunt. A questionable Megadeth moment.Welcome back to the madness.

Park City researcher John Berry claims he's mapped an ancient energy machine—mountains as conductors, basins as parabolic amplifiers—tapping the planet's hidden power. Filed in Utah's Fourth District Court to etch his discovery into history, Berry links this template to Mormon temples, Masonic mines, Tesla's lost truths, even UAPs and cattle mutilations. Coincidence or erased civilization? GUEST: Gib Berry is an independent researcher and Park City native who traded ski slopes for satellite maps to chase a radical theory: Utah's Wasatch Range conceals a pre-Egyptian energy grid modeled on the Great Pyramid. Using GIS overlays, he's documented alignments between ancient geometry, Mormon temples, historic mines, and modern military sites—then filed the evidence in Utah's Fourth District Court to bypass gatekeepers. A former outdoorsman turned citizen scientist, Berry warns this “machine made of mountains” may explain everything from ghost lights to UAP hotspots, urging skeptics to overlay the data themselves and feel the grid pulse beneath their feet.

A Columbian transplant to the US said that the only person who can save Columbia is Donald Trump. Would you believe it if you knew the story.

Three friends. An empty house. A cold UK night. It should've been a normal 2016 sleepover… until the thing in the garden showed up wearing their friend's face. It started with tapping and scratching upstairs — no parents home, no landline, no way to call for help. Then, outside in the dark, one of the boys comes face-to-face with “Jacob”… except Jacob was already inside watching TV. The version outside had no expression, no warmth — and in a voice that sounded human but wasn't, it told him: “Lock the tent, mate.” That's when they realized what they were dealing with: a skinwalker-style shapeshifter, the kind that mimics people to get close. The night only got worse. Hours later, he woke up screaming, convinced a massive bear was mauling him. His friends saw him fighting something invisible. By morning, the phone rang — his brother in America had really been killed by a bear in his sleep that same night. Coincidence? Psychic bond between brothers? Or did the shapeshifter deliver a warning from the other side of the world? #TrueGhostStory #Skinwalker #ParanormalActivity #Shapeshifter #SleepoverGoneWrong #PsychicConnection #RealGhostStoriesOnline #CreepyEncounters #BearAttack #SupernaturalStory Love real ghost stories?

Since then: illness, despair, relentless bad luck. Coincidence… or something darker? To unravel the mystery, Richard Syrett welcomes Deliverance Minister Randy Goodwin — a man who once found himself the target of an actual coven. Together, they'll confront the ancient belief that words can wound and intent can destroy. Are curses real — and if you've been marked, how do you fight back? GUEST: Randy Goodwin is a Deliverance Minister and spiritual warfare veteran who's faced the darkness firsthand. Once targeted by a coven that cursed and stalked him, he survived a harrowing supernatural battle that reshaped his faith and his mission.

Why would God restore Israel to the Land if they don't believe in Jesus? That's the question many Christians wrestle with - and the one Ezekiel 36 answers head-on. In this wide-ranging conversation with filmmaker and Bible teacher Stephen Briggs of Hatikva Films, we explore the prophetic timeline of Israel's restoration, the continuity of God's covenant with Abraham, and the flaws in replacement theology that blur the story of Scripture.  Together we trace how the Hebrew nuances of Genesis 12, the promises of Ezekiel 36, and the disciples' question in Acts 1 all reveal the same truth: God's faithfulness comes before Israel's faith. Stephen shares insights from life in Jerusalem, stories from the “Blessing, Curse, or Coincidence” film series, and a clear-eyed view of what God is doing in our generation.  Whether we're talking about prophecy, politics, or discipleship, the message is the same - the restoration of Israel is the greatest evidence that God keeps His promises. Key Takeaways God's covenant with Israel is unconditional and still active. Ezekiel 36 sets the divine order: regather first, renew next. Israel's unbelief magnifies God's grace, not His absence. Replacement theology collapses when read against Scripture's storyline. Modern Israel's return is the stage for future spiritual renewal. Believers are invited to pray, comfort, give, and go. God's faithfulness to Israel confirms His faithfulness to us. Chapter Markers 00:00 – Cold open + welcome 02:10 – Introducing Stephen Briggs: filmmaker, Jerusalem resident 07:35 – God's faithfulness and the modern return of Israel 13:20 – Genesis 12 and the Hebrew meaning of “bless” and “curse” 18:55 – Ezekiel 36: the order of restoration and renewal 26:40 – The flaw in replacement theology 33:25 – The “Israel Effect” and history's witness 39:45 – Acts 1: the disciples' question and God's timeline 47:10 – Practical response: pray, comfort, give, go 52:00 – Closing reflections and resources If you've never seen the Bible in full color, it's time to walk the ancient paths yourself.

A quiet school night turns strange when an 11-year-old locks himself in the bathroom, crying that something stomped up behind him. In the mirror, he sees a figure—pure white, human-shaped, with horns and a star on its chest. Weeks earlier, the lights in that same room cut out for a full ten seconds. Coincidence—or the first warning? His mom believes him, keeps him calm, and starts looking for answers while trying not to plant scarier ones. Next, we head to a Wisconsin basement where two siblings test their nerves: moving shadows, a whispered “no” captured on an EVP app, drained flashlights, and a long night of invisible taps to the face—while the dog sleeps in another room and every normal explanation falls apart. Then a dream that feels too real: a listener bitten in a nightmare, followed by four crows standing silent in the road the next morning. Bad dream and weird birds—or a message that showed up twice?

Not every haunting starts with a whisper in the dark. Sometimes it starts with a television fading to black. Janet from East Texas shares a chilling premonition from her teens: a dream of Bonanza's Hoss Cartwright slowly collapsing into that old CRT “pin-dot” just hours before the real Dan Blocker died. Coincidence—or a goodbye that arrived through the glow of a screen? From there, we step into a different kind of dread: a hospital hallway, a five-year-old wanderer, and the first sighting of a towering shadow man with a hat and burning red eyes. He doesn't stay in the hospital. He follows her home—through childhood, up the stairs, to the bathroom door—until years later her own daughter starts describing “the evil man” the exact same way. A stunned relative sees him too, looming over a child's empty bed, forcing a family to fight back with faith, blessings, and a handful of holy medals. Are these stories proof that our fears call things to us—or that the people we love and the things that hate us know exactly how to find our light? #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #Premonition #DanBlocker #Bonanza #HatMan #ShadowPeople #HauntedHospital #ParanormalExperience #BlessThisHouse  Love real ghost stories?

When Cheryl walked into that palliative care room, the air didn't feel like a hospital—it felt like a threshold. Her mother would drift, smile at something no one else could see, and whisper, “It's so beautiful.” Then one name—Mildred—a grandmother Cheryl's mom never knew, slips from her lips like a breadcrumb from the other side. Cheryl decides to try one last ritual: reading aloud the book her mother loved but she herself never bothered to open. Page by page, morning after morning, her mother's eyes find the words. The room calms. Time bends. And as the final lines land… something happens that will make you question whether endings are chosen or written. After the funeral, grief stalks Cheryl in the quiet places—parking lots, highways, the space between breaths—until a single song begins to thread through the noise like a hand taking hers. Not once. Not twice. Every time the tears rise. Different stations. Perfect timing. A request whispered to the universe… answered. And then, a white feather drops into her lap like a signed message. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #Paranormal #Afterlife #SignFromHeaven #DeathbedVisions #Angels #Synchronicity #IntoTheMystic #GriefAndTheSupernatural #HauntedGoodbye #SpiritSigns Love real ghost stories?

Not every haunting involves ghosts — sometimes, it's the living who are being warned. In 2012, a young woman noticed two blackbirds perched on her porch light at 10 p.m. — unmoving, unblinking, and silent. No matter how close she got, they wouldn't fly away. The next night, one bird returned, facing her front door as if keeping watch. The unease she felt that night turned to terror days later, when her ex-boyfriend shot two men — a father and son — killing them both. Two birds. Two deaths. She couldn't shake the connection. The night after she sprinkled holy water, the birds vanished — only to return weeks later, this time trying to force their way into her apartment, shrieking and clawing at the door like they were furious. Was it a warning from something protective, a dark omen of what was to come, or something evil marking those tied to tragedy? One thing is certain: when blackbirds come at night and refuse to leave, they're not just birds anymore. #RealGhostStoriesOnline #OmenStory #DarkPremonition #TrueHaunting #ParanormalEncounter #DeathOmen #CursedBirds #SupernaturalSigns #CrowsAndDeath #UnexplainedPhenomena #TrueParanormalStory #RealHaunting Love real ghost stories?
