Passport Bros claim fleeing abroad solves their dating woes. Nick Pell explains why they're in for a rude awakening on this Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1285On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The "Passport Bro" phenomenon is fueled by two overlapping myths — that all Western women are "too feminist" to date, and that women abroad are uniformly docile and grateful for Western husbands — but both stereotypes collapse under scrutiny and bear little relationship to reality.The economic leverage passport bros think they'll have abroad is largely outdated fantasy. The global middle class has risen dramatically, emerging economies now account for two-thirds of global GDP growth, and women in many "destination" countries are often more educated than the men showing up.Women abroad aren't passive targets — they have agency, savvy, and often family networks deeply involved in vetting potential partners. In more "traditional" societies, passport bros face scrutiny from entire extended families, not just individual women making solo decisions.The phenomenon attracts real danger: romance scams have exploded 238 times over, Colombia has State Department warnings due to a 200% increase in dating-app-related robberies, and men get drugged, catfished, and sextorted with alarming regularity.Cross-cultural relationships absolutely can work — the key is approaching them with realistic expectations rather than red-pill fantasies. Learning about actual cultural values, staying alert to scams, and treating potential partners as individuals rather than stereotypes is the foundation for genuine connection abroad.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Pastor Paul was doing gospel outreach in Northern India when he was arrested by police and accused of "forcing" Hindus to convert to Christianity. He wasn't forcing anyone but only sharing with people who expressed a hunger to hear the truth. When police arrived, Paul and his coworkers weren't having a service or studying the Bible; they were eating a meal. Still, it was considered a crime. "Which god are you praying to?" police asked. Little did Pastor Paul know that his faith would be tested as he heard that question repeatedly over the coming weeks. Pastor Paul and his three gospel coworkers suffered tremendously in police custody. Police threatened them constantly, putting fear in their hearts. They were repeatedly offered freedom if they would only renounce their faith in Jesus Christ. Police put the four Christians in a filthy prison cell that also served as the police station latrine. They allowed a mob of radical Hindus to beat them. Paul prayed that God would strengthen him. "Lord, please help me not to fear their words because You are in charge of every situation," Pastor Paul prayed, "You controlled the lion's mouth when Daniel went inside." As Pastor Paul fervently prayed, the Lord provided him many opportunities to share his faith in Christ and the strength to stand firm against the enemy's schemes. Listen as he shares his prayer for a forgiving heart when police threatened to beat him, stories of times the Lord gave him moments of relief, and how God sustained him even when his coworkers renounced Christ and turned their backs on him. The Lord opened fellow prisoners' hearts to hear more about his faith as they watched Pastor Paul. Living out 1 Peter 3:15, he made the most of every opportunity to share the hope of Jesus Christ. Mistreatment and terrible prison conditions impacted Paul's health; he thought he was going to die. When his wife was finally allowed to visit, he assumed it would be the last time he saw her on earth. He encouraged her to continue forward with Christ and not turn back, even if he died in prison. Paul had two final requests as he cried out to the Lord: to see revival in Uttar Pradesh state, and for the Lord to allow another pastor to be arrested and come and encourage him in prison. Tune in next week to hear the rest of Pastor Paul's story and whether God answered his request. Pray this week for the Lord to give our brothers and sisters in India strength and courage to withstand Christian persecution and hold fast to their faith in spite of anti-conversion laws and unjust treatment by the Hindu nationalist government.

In Episode 84 of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost dives deep into a rapidly shifting global landscape as President Trump's diplomatic maneuvers collide with escalating war rhetoric. From reports of U.S. Navy SEALs authorized to train in Mexico, to renewed coordination between Colombia and Venezuela against transnational drug networks, Ghost unpacks the strategic realignments unfolding across the Western Hemisphere. The episode also zeroes in on mounting pressure for regime change in Iran, contrasting President Trump's public push for negotiations with hawkish calls for military action. Ghost examines the growing divide between diplomatic strategy and establishment war messaging, exploring how narratives around Israel, Iran, and the Middle East are shaping public opinion. With commentary on Rubio's remarks about a changing world order and the broader geopolitical reset underway, this episode challenges viewers to rethink long-standing assumptions about allies, adversaries, and the future of global power.

[Ep.318 - T8] En este episodio analizamos la cobertura mediática de la emergencia en Córdoba, un departamento con el 80% de su territorio inundado, poniendo el foco en los líos estructurales de la represa Urrá y el impacto de sus descargas sobre la población.

La canciller de Colombia, Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio, está de visita en España tras unas semanas tensas, sobre todo después de ese secuestro de Nicolás Maduro por parte de los Estados Unidos y con un enconamiento de las relaciones entre Bogotá y Washington que finalmente se calmó con la visita de Gustavo Petro a la Casa Blanca.

Hoy ha arrancado en Alemania la Conferencia de Seguridad de Munich, a la que asisten decenas de jefes de estado y de gobierno y otras figuras de la política internacional. Hace un año fue en la capital bávara donde JD Vance pronució un discurso durísimo contra la UE, y fue digamos entonces cuando en Europa nos empezamos a dar cuenta de que los EEUU de Trump ya no son nuestro gran aliado al que acudir para protección o defensa. Un año después, 12 meses de Donald Trump en plenitud después, los líderes europeos parecen haber reaccionado a la agresividad y al creciente autoritarismo del mandatario estadounidense.Las autoridades iraníes han anunciado que la comisión investigadora de las protestas hará publico un informe sobre lo ocurrido. Nos lo va a ampliar nuestra enviada especial Aurora Moreno.No perdemos de vista Portugal que sigue sufriendo las consecuencias del temporal que ha azotado el país las últimas semanas ni Cuba porque hoy la ONU ha acusado a Estados Unidos de estar incumpliendo la Carta de Naciones Unidas en el país.Vamos a analizar el resultado de las elecciones en Bangladesh y la advertencia de la OMS a los antivacunas porque varios países ya no pueden decir que están libres de sarampión.Además va a estar con nosotros la ministra de asuntos exteriores de Colombia, Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio, y por supuesto nosotros también vamos a celebrar el día mundial de la radio.

Programa 13/02/26: En el Día Mundial de la Radio conversamos con el locutor Ángel Montoya; también con dos australianas que viajaron a Colombia, fundaron un café, y se convirtieron en "Héroes Locales". Hablamos de las flores colombianas en San Valentín y de lo último en materia deportiva.

El embajador de Colombia en Estados Unidos, Daniel García-Peña, protagonizó un gesto cargado de simbolismo político al repartir flores colombianas en los alrededores del Capitolio, en Washington, en el marco de la celebración del Día de San Valentín.

Stepping into the stunning Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino in Santa Marta, Colombia, the final resting place of the man who reshaped an entire continent, we look at who Simón Bolívar really was. Known as "The Liberator," he didn't just lead the charge for independence across six nations; he ignited a revolutionary spark fueled by Enlightenment ideals and a bold vision for a unified "Gran Colombia." Beyond the battlefield, we're unpacking the high-stakes tug-of-war between the charismatic "strongman" government and the rule of law, a rivalry that nearly led to assassination and still vibrates through South American politics today. Join me as we walk through the halls where history was made and discover how these centuries-old debates are just as relevant in 2026 as they were in the 1830s.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/ckudSDCZbS4Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/ Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/ Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/ The place for bilingual talent! https://empleobilingue.com/ More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/write Contact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

Selador UnbrokenOne - Wilderness EP' (incl. Kamilo Sanclemente & Mauro Aguirre Remix) - Selador Don'tcha just love it when a plan comes together? Be it serendipity, karma, top producer meets damn good A&R, likeminded souls finding cultural common ground as they bond musically across the ether…or most likely a combo of all the above. Which is how the incredibly talented UnbrokenOne, long time Digweed favourite, makes a most welcome Selador debut with this storming EP. What instantly jumps out from the grooves contained herein is a deep knowledge of electronic music in all its myriad forms. This is what enables lead track ‘Wilderness' to rise above sub-genres and pigeonholes. Its intricacies, as a series of infectious riffs, well chosen vocal snippets and percussive ingenuity weave in and out of each other, are a thing of beauty. It's a case of the parts are great, the sum of them even greater. Sister track ‘Gradient', if you'll allow us to channel our inner football pundit for a moment, sets its stall out early doors. Deep'n'dark from the off, squelchily hypnotic, rising slowly but oh so surely to a melodic / epic crescendo. And it's a warm Seladorian welcome back to Colombia's finest, Kamilo Sanclemente, this time in collaborative tandem with another label debutant, his countryman Mauro Aguirre. Their revision of ‘Gradient' bounces and throbs with serious dancefloor intent, and like the original builds climactically – pure dopamine release business. Team Selador – Wild Boys

En este en vivo, el abogado Jonathan Shaw transmite desde Bogotá, Colombia, y se enfoca en una tendencia preocupante: el aumento histórico de las salidas voluntarias entre inmigrantes detenidos. Explica por qué muchas personas —después de cruzar países, superar obstáculos y entrar a procesos de asilo— terminan “tirando la toalla” al enfrentar la realidad psicológica de un centro de detención y la falta de opciones como la fianza bajo ciertas reglas (menciona la sección 235). En este episodio hablamos de: Récord de salidas voluntarias y por qué está aumentando.La diferencia crucial entre salida voluntaria vs. aceptar una deportación “voluntariamente”.Impacto psicológico real de la detención (experiencias del abogado visitando centros).Cómo tomar decisiones estratégicas con familia y abogado antes de “firmar”.Preguntas del público: visa juvenil (SIJS) y 42B, Visa T vs Visa U, renovación de permiso de trabajo, y procesos familiares (I-130 / I-485).Caso ejemplo: salida voluntaria negociada para mantener abierta la opción de regresar por petición de esposa ciudadana y perdón.Consejo clave: en el clima actual, ir a corte sin abogado puede ser muy riesgoso.  Contenido informativo general; no sustituye asesoría legal individual.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In this episode, Tom sits down with geopolitical strategist Peter Zeihan for a fascinating deep dive into the tectonic shifts shaping our world order. Together, Tom Bilyeu and Peter Zeihan unpack why the global landscape is changing—and why it isn't just about any single political figure, but rather the collision of long-standing trends in trade, demographics, and national priorities. You'll hear Peter Zeihan break down how the post–World War II system, built on American-led security and global cooperation, is unraveling amidst demographic decline and shifting alliances. They explore why the current moment might be unlike anything we've seen since the Black Plague, what happens when countries are forced to become economic generalists again, and why U.S. leadership is facing a critical test. Plus, Tom Bilyeu presses Peter on what this means for America's future, global productivity, and the hard choices ahead. Whether you're a geopolitical buff or just eager to understand how economics truly drives world affairs, this episode will challenge your assumptions and give you the tools to see the present—and the future—in a whole new light.

It's Thursday, February 12th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Olympics can prompt prayer among Christian viewers (Audio of Olympic theme song) Over 3,500 athletes from 93 countries are competing at the 2026 Winter Olympics Games in Milan, Italy this month. Fourteen of these countries are on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most oppressive places to be a Christian. Those countries include Eritrea, Nigeria, Pakistan, Iran, India, and China.  Open Doors has a message for Christian viewers of the Olympics. They said, “Use the Olympics in a potentially surprising way: to pray.  … Take a moment to think about the situation of your brothers and sisters in that country and pray for it.” You can reference the organization's prayer guide for each country through a link in our transcript today at TheWorldview.com.  Ephesians 6:18 says, “Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.” Canadian gunman killed 10 people at school Tragically, a transgender shooter opened fire at a Canadian school on Tuesday, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Jesse Strang, a 17-year-old male pretending to be a female while wearing a dress, reportedly killed 10 people including himself.  He also injured 25 people. It's Canada's deadliest school shooting in decades.   The shooting took place at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in northeastern British Columbia which has fewer than 200 students enrolled in Grades 7 through 12. Chris Elston, a Canadian pro-family activist, said, “He was a young man who needed serious help for his mental health. Instead, his delusion was affirmed, and the result is murdered innocent children.” Later, Elston added, “Someone needed to tell this kid the truth and help him to be happy as a man, but it's illegal to do so. It's a criminal offense of conversion therapy. So, he never got help and he got worse. Murdered children paid the price for our politicians' stupidity and cowardice. Not even our police can call him a man. A cult has taken over our society. “ Please pray for the families suffering through this unimaginable loss. YouVersion Bible engagement up dramatically in Latin America Online Bible platforms are seeing unprecedented engagement in Latin America so far this year. This trend marks a year since the YouVersion Bible platform established a regional office in Mexico City. On January 1, nearly two million people subscribed to Bible reading plans. And the app saw over 22.2 million active users on the first Sunday of the year. This marks a 20% growth from last year. Countries with record levels of engagement include Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, and El Salvador.   Only 31% o Protestants read Bible daily In the United States, new analysis from Lifeway Research found most Protestant churchgoers don't read the Bible on a daily basis. Seventeen percent of churchgoers read the Bible at least monthly. Fourteen percent read weekly. Thirty percent read a few times a week. And only 31% read the Bible daily. However, the percentage of churchgoers who read the Bible daily or at least a few times a week is now 61%. That's up from 36% in 2007. Romans 12:2 reminds us, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” GOP to FDA: Abortion Kill Pill is hurting women U.S. Senate Republicans criticized the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday after a closed-door briefing on the abortion kill pill. The FDA is supposed to be conducting a safety review of mifepristone, one of the drugs used in chemical abortions. Republicans are accusing the agency of dragging its feet on the study. Listen to comments from Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri in an interview on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. HAWLEY: “Tony. I just think, at this point, this study, it's vital. It should be done. I don't have any confidence that the FDA is actually going to do it. And, in the meantime, abortions in this country are increasing. There are more abortions now than when Roe was the law of the land. And that's because of this chemical abortion.” U.S. homicides down 20% The Major Cities Chiefs Association released its latest report on violent crime in the U.S. The report collects data from 67 of America's biggest police departments. Compared to 2024, reported homicides were down nearly 20% last year. And reported violent crimes are falling after a surge of reports during the COVID-era shutdowns. 130,000 new American jobs The United States added 130,000 jobs in January, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Analysts expected only 55,000 jobs. It's the biggest job growth in over a year. The gains were led by healthcare, social assistance, and construction.  The unemployment rate remained slightly elevated at 4.3%. 92% of Americans like religious themes in movies & TV And finally, a new survey found most Americans are open to religious themes in movies and TV shows. The 2026 Faith & Entertainment Index found 92% of U.S. adults say faith has a role to play in modern entertainment. And 77% believe it can have broad appeal. Brooke Zaugg, executive director of the Faith & Media Initiative, said, “Religion can feel scary to talk about — like politics — so it creates the illusion that it's a small group. That makes it easy for filmmakers to oversimplify it or not give it much thought, instead of recognizing how valuable faith storytelling can be when it's done well.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 12th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

In this special edition of Geopolitics with Ghost, Ghost breaks down the closed-door, three-hour meeting between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu — and what the conspicuous lack of outcomes may signal. With no major announcements, no press spectacle, and Trump publicly insisting negotiations with Iran must continue, Ghost analyzes the strategic tension between diplomacy and military escalation, Israel's renewed West Bank policies, and what may be unfolding behind the scenes. The episode also explores rising regional flashpoints: claims that Saudi Arabia possesses nuclear weapons, shifting oil alliances involving Venezuela, and a reported assassination attempt on Colombia's president after meetings in Washington. Back home, Ghost covers cartel drones breaching U.S. airspace over El Paso and what that could mean for border security and potential escalation. From Middle East maneuvering to fifth-generation narrative warfare, this episode connects the dots across multiple theaters, examining how perception, power, and positioning are shaping the global chessboard.

Stephanie Fortunato, speaks with Conrado Uribe about the power of networks to break cycles of isolation – and to make “collective imagination” a practical force in how cities evolve. Moving from Medellín to Barcelona to a Latin America-wide network of cultural districts, Conrado reflects on collaboration, governance, and why the real foundations of a district are its people, not its buildings.External references:Conexiones Creativas: Conrado's organisation, designing and delivering projects to strengthen cultural and creative ecosystems. Plataforma de Distritos Creativos y Culturales: The network platform Conrado describes, supporting exchanges across creative districts in the Americas and Europe. Campus Colombias: The convening format Conrado references as a catalyst moment in the organisation's early years. Museo de Antioquia: Museum at the centre of Conrado's Medellín experience and a key cultural anchor in the city. MDE – Encuentro Internacional de Arte de Medellín: The four-year international art encounter organised by Museo de Antioquia, referenced in the episode's Medellín context. LOOP Barcelona: The moving-image platform and festival Conrado mentions as a formative collaboration-led model. Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens: The “humans succeed through collaboration” framing Conrado references via Harari's work. “Scenius, or Communal Genius” (Wired): A widely cited explainer of Brian Eno's idea of “scenius” that Conrado invokes (collective creativity over lone genius). About our guest:Conrado Uribe Pereira, is a curator and cultural strategist, and Content Director at Conexiones Creativas, the Colombia-founded platform behind a growing network of creative and cultural districts across Latin America and parts of Southern Europe. In the episode, he traces how his work in Medellín (including at the Museo de Antioquia) and later in Barcelona shaped his conviction that districts succeed when they invest first in talent (“software”), then governance (“artware”), and only then in infrastructure. +

Este jueves es el día internacional de las Manos Rojas, la iniciativa mundial de lucha contra el reclutamiento de menores en los conflictos armados. En Colombia, se ha disparado en la última década, y hoy más de 1.200 niños han sido incorporados a las filas de grupos armados, muchos de ellos atraídos mediante redes sociales. RFI entrevistó a dos líderes sociales colombianos, bajo condición de anonimato, acerca de este fenómeno en sus territorios. Con contenidos que mezclan música popular, emojis de ninjas e imágenes de motos, cultivos de coca y fiestas, decenas de cuentas de TikTok invitan a los jóvenes a sumarse a los rangos de grupos armados en Colombia, prometiendo gozar de mejor vida para cubrirse de dinero y gloria. Bajo anonimato, dos líderes sociales del departamento del Cauca, en la costa pacífica colombiana, luchan a diario para que niños no abandonen el colegio y su comunidad. Es una zona muy golpeada por el conflicto e “históricamente está habitada por comunidades afrodescendientes, campesinas e indígenas”. “El COVID 19 fue un hito”, asegura una líder de la comunidad indígena nasa. “Los niños empiezan a tener más acceso a las redes sociales. Tiktok es una red muy usual y se empieza a ver en él convocatorias. Ofrecen de dinero, ostentar elementos de alto valor y hasta cirugía plástica o ortodoncia a las niñas”. Los menores reclutados pueden tener 10 años, “en lugares donde el Gobierno no llega, donde no responde a estas necesidades básicas de las comunidades”. Crisis Group apunta que la firma de los acuerdos de paz en 2016 redujo a 100 el número de menores reclutados. Ahora serían 12 veces más según las cifras de UNICEF. “Se ha intensificado mucho más la presencia de diferentes actores armados, especialmente la disidencia de las Farc en nuestros territorios”, explica otro líder, que también prefiere no dar su identidad. “El menor armado es un combatiente más. Es utilizado también como escudos de protección, para que la Fuerza Pública no los pueda atacar teniendo menores en primera línea”. Los jóvenes, además, atraen a otros. “Pueden estar en los barrios y desde allí utilizados como campaneros, como portadores también de mensajes o informantes”. Violencia sexual Las niñas son atraídas con promesas de “procedimientos estéticos, arreglo de las cejas y del cabello y procedimientos de ortodoncia”, porque las niñas soldado son víctimas de violencia sexual. Se estima que entre 2019 y 2024 más de 1200 niños y niñas han sido utilizados para la guerra en Colombia, pero las cifras son sin duda más elevadas. “Detrás de este reclutamiento hay muchas más situaciones desplazamientos, amenazas, intimidación a las familias, lo cual permite que no tengamos conocimiento”, explica la lideresa del Norte del Cauca. “El actor armado no solamente se lleva a los niños, también tiene acciones sociales en el territorio: pavimenta las calles, ayuda a los enfermos y cosas por el estilo. Eso lo normaliza”, explica el líder residente de la zona pacífico. Ambos líderes sociales aseguran que más que el diálogo con los grupos armados, la clave son los programas de capacitación y la prevención pedagógica para no trivializar el reclutamiento.
