President Trump announced yesterday that he is signing an executive order to classify fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. The U.S. military destroyed three alleged drug boats operated by a designated terrorist organization. Trump is winning the war on the border.

Long distance relationships can feel intoxicating. The late-night calls. The fantasy. The sense that if it weren't for geography, this could really be something. But when does distance deepen connection—and when does it quietly keep us stuck in something that can't truly grow? In this episode of the Love Life Podcast, we go deeper than ever on long distance love. We talk about why these connections can feel so powerful, how fantasy can sneak in and blur reality, and the often-overlooked skill of restraint (knowing when not to let yourself fall, even when attraction is there). This episode is about discernment, self-respect, and learning how to protect your heart without closing it off . . . whether the person you're talking to lives across the world or just across town. -----►► Tired of relationships that go nowhere?

PREVIEW: Mary Kissel characterizes Xi Jinping as a "committed Marxist Leninist" who retains power through brutality despite China's economic collapse.

Episode 2835: Alysha Jeney explores why many couples struggle with feeling secure in their relationships, regardless of how long they've been together. She explains how internal insecurities and unclear boundaries often lead people to seek external "proof" of commitment, when true relationship security comes from emotional vulnerability, self-awareness, and inner acceptance. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.modernlovecounseling.com/committed-relationship/ Quotes to ponder: "We may never really feel secure in our 'committed' relationship if we can't feel secure in exposing ourselves… flaws and all, and be accepting of them." "It is essential to have two people who are willing to be vulnerable and self aware." "Finding security and acceptance in ourselves is the ultimate level of security and this will only hold the necessary safe space for a mutually committed and fulfilling relationship to develop, grow and sustain."

What does it really look like to commit your whole life to God, not just your words? In this episode, we walk through Nehemiah's renewed covenant, Israel's community-wide commitment to family, faith, and finances, and the bold repopulation plan for Jerusalem. We'll discover how these chapters reveal God's unwavering faithfulness to his people and point to the deeper promise fulfilled in Jesus Christ. We'll also look at how our lives today mirror the Israelites and what it looks like to live as God's set apart people.Podcast themes: Commitment requires more than intention. The Israelites didn't just say they would follow God. They signed their names, made specific commitments, and reordered their lives around their covenant. So ask yourself: Where am I relying on good intentions instead of real follow-through? Obedience often involves sacrifice. Some Israelite families moved into a broken, unattractive Jerusalem simply because God chose them to. Our obedience today often looks the same. God may call us to forgive, serve, move toward community, or let go of something we'd rather keep. The question is whether we trust him enough to say yes.Everyone has a place and purpose in God's story. Nehemiah's detailed lists show that every person matters and has a role in God's plan. Whether you feel front-and-center or behind-the-scenes, your obedience contributes to God's work in the world. No one is invisible in the kingdom of God.We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

This week of Advent reminds us that joy isn't about avoiding pain — it's about allowing it with God. In this episode, we talk about how true joy isn't the same as happiness. Happiness depends on your circumstances; joy is rooted in God's presence. You'll learn how to stop resisting emotions like sadness, disappointment, or frustration — and start letting them draw you closer to Christ. Because when you numb the hard, you also numb the good. When you learn to feel it all with God, you open yourself to deeper joy, peace, and freedom.

The Intellectual Commander and the B-29 — James M. Scott — Scott introduces Brigadier General Haywood Hansell, an air force pioneer and military intellectual who arrives in the Pacific theater in November 1944 as a committed advocate of "high altitude daylight strategic bombing," a military doctrine positing that modern industrial economies resemble "houses of cards" susceptible to catastrophic collapse through destruction of critical infrastructure including petroleum refineries and aircraft manufacturing facilities. Scott documents that Hansell confronts immense institutional pressure from General "Hap" Arnold, the commander of the U.S. Army Air Forces, who suffers recurring heart attacks generated by organizational stress and interservice competition with the Navy and Army for budgetary resources and institutional prestige. Scott emphasizes that Arnold views the Pacific theater as a "blank canvas" to demonstrate the independent military power and strategic utility of the Air Force using the expensive, technologically advanced B-29strategic bomber, recently developed at enormous financial cost. 1925 TOKYO

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Before 2019, no crimes had been committed in space (that we know of). After poring over records, the New York Times could only come up with three things: (1) damage to a Russian satellite that was allegedly China's fault; (2) a lawsuit seeking to recover a deposit somebody put down for a space-tourism trip; and (3) a U.S.-government sting operation aimed at recovering a moon rock. Only one of those happened in space, though, and none of them are crimes. That is, until an ex-wife of a NASA astronaut decided to play petty. Reb launches us into two cases: (1) a bad break up and (2) a horrific moon-rock-related detention by federal agents of a Granny in a diner parking lot. This is Summer Heather Worden v.

Chaya Slain is the Founder, President, and Chief Investment Officer at Virtera Partners.After studying mathematics at Columbia University, she discovered her deeper interest in investing at Goldman Sachs. After several years in New York, she returned to Cleveland and joined Parkwood, the Mandel family investment office, where she spent more than a decade immersed in institutional investing. At Parkwood, she developed a disciplined, process-driven investment philosophy; built relationships with leading private equity, hedge fund, and real estate managers; and learned directly from Mort Mandel's cultural and strategic principles.In 2020, Chaya founded Virtera Partners, a boutique investment firm designed to offer ultra-high-net-worth families the sophistication of a top-tier institutional allocator with the personal attention of a single-family office. Virtera has grown into a platform providing clients access to differentiated public and private market opportunities — supported by deep sourcing, rigorous diligence, and a willingness to do things differently when the data points that way.In our conversation, we trace Chaya's journey from Wall Street to Cleveland; her early entrepreneurial spark running a deli during her time at Columbia University; the leap from investor to founder; and the empathy and insight that transition has given her when evaluating other entrepreneurs and investment managers. We explore behavioral discipline, portfolio construction in uncertain markets, long-term thinking, and what it means to build with integrity, excellence, and a true sense of stewardship.As someone who loves this intersection of investing and entrepreneurship, it was fun to hear Chaya's reflections on it and learn from her experience.

Donald Trump is forcing his Justice Department to go after his political enemies for mortgage fraud, and like always, this appears to be pure projection on Trump's part. An investigation by ProPublica has revealed that Trump likely did the exact same thing he's accusing everyone else of doing, which is taking out mortgages for homes and then violating the terms of the loan by renting out the properties. This happened in the 1990's, so the statute of limitations would prevent any prosecution, but it does explain why Trump thinks he can bust everyone else for this very specific crime. Donald Trump is terrified that the Supreme Court is going to take away his power to enact tariffs on any country for any reason, so he came out boasting that he'll just enact tariffs a different, albeit more complicated, way in the future. This was Trump's attempt to get the court to just let him do what he wants to do because he's going to do it no matter what, and it was painfully obvious that this was the point he was trying to make. The Supreme Court on Monday began hearing arguments in the case of Trump v. Slaughter, which is a case that conservative lawyers have been waiting for a long time to get settled. If the courts side in the conservatives' favor, which is the likely outcome, it would hand Trump the power to fire anyone and everyone that he wants within the executive branch of the government without cause or reason. This would give Trump complete control over every aspect of the executive branch, increasing his power in ways that could reshape the government for a generation. A leaked Department of Justice memo obtained by journalist Ken Klippenstein has revealed that Pam Bondi's DOJ is compiling lists of people that they claim are part of "domestic terrorist" groups, but in reality they are just people, organizations, and groups that are against the Trump agenda. Things that could get average people on these lists include expressing disdain for the administration's immigration raids, calling out the hypocrisy of the Religious Right, or even just expressing discontent with our capitalist economy. These are just a few of the new items that constitute "thought crimes" in modern day America.According to sources from the Department of Homeland Security, the sense around the agency is that Kristi Noem is going to be fired "really soon," as Trump has seemingly lost all patience with her. This comes as a bit of a surprise, considering the fact that Noem has been the public face of ICE since taking over DHS, and her raids have made headline news since the beginning. But Trump is reportedly not happy about the low deportation numbers, and loyalty can't overcome a lack of results. Young voters were shockingly supportive of Donald Trump in the election and through the first few months he was in office, but the tide has turned in a short amount of time and they now overwhelmingly reject him. According to the latest polling data, Trump went from having a 10-point net approval rating from voters aged 18 to 30, but now he is 47 points UNDERWATER with that age group. This makes up one of the largest demographics in the country, and if they have soured on Trump and the Republicans then next year's elections might already be settled.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!
