Lindsay Clancy's lawyer just stood in a Plymouth courtroom and asked the judge where the evidence is that she killed her three children. Cora was 5. Dawson was 3. Callan was 8 months. In January 2023 their father, Patrick Clancy, came home from errands and found them on the basement floor with exercise bands around their necks. Lindsay Clancy was in the yard after jumping from a second-floor window. She was charged with three counts of first-degree murder. At trial the defense was not criminally responsible — postpartum psychosis, a voice telling her to kill the children and herself — because the judge would not split guilt from insanity. Kevin Reddington said it himself: they had to admit culpability to raise criminal responsibility. A six-week trial ended September 4 in a mistrial after the jury hung. On September 29 he flipped. “Where is the evidence that she did this?” No real investigation, he said. Speculation. She was told what happened. She had no memory. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham called that laughable and reminded the court that at trial the defense objected on the grounds that she admits she did this. Judge William Sullivan was not ready to rule. Both sides said it was too soon to set a second trial. Next date is November 2. Reddington says his caseload means he cannot try it before June 2027. Three kids. A hung jury. A new theory. And a calendar that runs into the summer after next. Pat also covered: Jack Smith went back to Congress and told the same January 6 story. When does he answer for it? Alaska just picked its fattest bear. 89 Backpack took Fat Bear Week, 103,334 votes to 98,253. Did SpaceX just livestream a UAP during a Starlink deploy, or was that the booster plume? President Trump and the SI bosses agreed to internal controls on cyber and bio risk. The resignation question is running ahead of the facts. Trump's plan this month is a 32-day midterm tour, not an exit. Did the “no evidence” line survive five minutes of what the husband walked in on? Yes or no. If you were Patrick Clancy, what would you want the court to do with a lawyer who is booked until June 2027?

Your Basement Flooded. The Water Is Gone. But What If It Still Smells? Edmonton's unusually wet summer created serious problems for homeowners, landlords and tenants. Basements flooded, roofs leaked, restoration companies became overwhelmed, and months later some property owners are still trying to put their homes back together. Today's episode starts with a detailed question from an Edmonton real estate investor whose basement suites flooded during the summer. The restoration company removed drywall and flooring, dried the basement and reported that mold or mildew remediation wasn't required. But there's one problem: the tenant still detects an odor they believe smells like mold or mildew. What do you do before rebuilding everything? Wayne and Gabby's Experience With Flooded Properties This wasn't a hypothetical situation for Wayne and Gabby. Their portfolio experienced more than $100,000 in expenses related to this summer's rain and flooding. Some properties had relatively minor problems, while others required substantial work. One property remains vacant while they work through multiple sources of water intrusion and prepare to complete the renovation. Wayne explains why this year reinforced one of their biggest investing principles: cash flow isn't spending money. They keep the cash flow generated by their portfolio in reserves so that unexpected events don't force them to borrow money, sell properties or scramble for capital. The flood was expensive. But because they were prepared for an unexpected event, it didn't threaten the portfolio. Can a Basement Still Smell After Remediation? Wayne and Gabby have noticed lingering smells during some restoration projects. Their experience, however, has been that those smells disappeared once the renovation was fully completed. Wayne compares it to renovating extremely distressed properties. Cigarette smoke, animal odors and other smells can seem impossible to eliminate when you first enter a property. After proper cleaning, new flooring, paint, baseboards and other improvements, the finished property can smell completely different. That doesn't mean a property owner should assume an odor is harmless. The first priority is determining whether the remediation was completed correctly. What Should You Verify With the Restoration Company? Gabby suggests confirming exactly what the remediation company did. Was damaged material removed? Was disinfectant applied? Was proper drying equipment used? Were moisture levels checked before reconstruction was approved? Those are important questions because the goal isn't simply to hide an odor. It's to make sure the property has actually been properly remediated before rebuilding it. Should You Get a Second Opinion? One of the most practical suggestions from today's conversation is to bring in another restoration professional if you aren't confident in the first company's assessment. There are two different perspectives in this particular situation. The tenant believes they smell something. The restoration company says the property is ready. Gabby's suggestion is to introduce an independent third perspective. That could mean the landlord inspecting the property personally or asking another qualified restoration company to assess the work and provide a second opinion before the walls and flooring go back in. Wayne and Gabby agree that cutting corners doesn't make sense. Tearing a finished basement apart again because something was missed would be far more disruptive and expensive. Flooding Is a Landlord Responsibility Wayne also discusses something they saw repeatedly in Edmonton this summer: tenants looking for new rentals because their existing landlords hadn't properly repaired flooded basements. Removing standing water isn't the end of the job. A landlord has a responsibility to properly address water damage and make sure the property is safe before putting everything back together. Wayne emphasizes that the investor who submitted today's question appears to be taking that responsibility seriously. The fact that they're considering an independent environmental assessment demonstrates how seriously they're approaching the problem. The Bigger Investing Lesson: Build Your Reserves Flooding is also a reminder that owning rental property means dealing with expenses you can't predict. Wayne and Gabby's philosophy is to avoid spending the cash flow produced by their properties, particularly during the early years of ownership. Instead, cash flow builds reserves. A portfolio that looks fantastic on paper but doesn't have enough money available to handle a major repair is vulnerable. That's one reason Wayne uses the 5% Rule™ when evaluating properties: (Annual Cash Flow ÷ Down Payment) × 100 5–6% = sufficient 7–9% = strong 10%+ = excellent Cash flow creates the cushion that helps an investor survive the things nobody included in the original spreadsheet. Rapid-Fire: Edmonton's Rental Market The episode finishes with several investor questions. Wayne describes Edmonton's current rental market as highly competitive, with considerable rental supply giving tenants more choices. His expectation is that landlords will need to compete harder for strong tenants and that some rents may soften. At the same time, Wayne says he's currently achieving some of the strongest investment returns of his career. His distinction is important: a difficult rental market doesn't necessarily mean a bad acquisition market. Investors need to buy the right property and become much better at marketing and operating their rentals. How Should Someone Learn Real Estate Investing? Wayne's answer is education before acquisition. Understand how to choose a market, analyze a property and operate the investment before committing your savings or someone else's capital. The Canadian Real Estate Investing Morning Show provides free education and coaching every weekday morning at 7:00 AM Mountain Time. How Do You Buy More Properties When You've Run Out of Money? Wayne's rapid-fire answer: seller financing. Seller financing, including Agreements for Sale, played a major role in Wayne and Gabby's early portfolio growth. Rather than relying entirely on their own down payments or conventional financing, they learned how to structure transactions where the seller provided financing. It's one of Wayne's favourite strategies for experienced investors who understand how to buy and operate rental properties but have exhausted their available capital.

Episode #1194 This is a revisit of an important TPM conversation for men who feel stuck, stagnant, or unsure what comes next. You've built the career. You've handled the responsibilities. You've checked many of the boxes you thought would create fulfillment. But somewhere along the way, you lost some of your energy, passion, or sense of direction. In this revisit episode of The TPM Show, Doug Holt sits down with Erin Holt to explore what it looks like when a man knows he's capable of more but isn't taking action toward it, and what that experience can be like for the woman beside him. Erin shares why a difficult season itself isn't the problem. Everyone goes through periods of uncertainty, transition, and change. The bigger issue is staying there without taking responsibility for moving forward. From a woman's perspective, watching her husband lose his energy and motivation can be exhausting and painful. She may know there's more inside him while watching him choose not to access it. Over time, she may begin taking on more leadership and responsibility within the family simply because someone has to. Doug and Erin also discuss why purpose doesn't always need to be one permanent mission you discover and follow forever. Sometimes you've simply outgrown the way you've been living. The first step isn't necessarily finding a new purpose. It may be rediscovering yourself.

Ep 193Joe Budden is pushing back against JBP fans complaining about guests, but I don't think the guests are really the problem. I get into why the podcast has started feeling less organic to me over the years, the transition to what I call "corporate Joe," Clippergate, and why longtime listeners may be sticking around more out of habit than excitement.Then I get into AZ Chike's new album. It's projected around 9K first week and people are already calling it a flop. I've listened to the album twice and think it's good, so we're talking about what those numbers actually mean for an artist at AZ's stage, how Kendrick affected expectations, and why one first week shouldn't define where AZ goes from here.Timestamps(0:35) Joe claps back at fans(4:19) Joe is looking at it all wrong(6:08) The beginning of the end for me(7:12) Leaking your numbers as a rollout(9:32) Taking the fans ideas and selling the back(14:24) Final thoughts(18:45) Did AZ Chike flop?(23:41) How Kendrick ruined the album(26:00) Give AZ more time(29:32) Cole's Corner: J Cole's Sneakers

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the cycle of complaining? In this thought-provoking episode, Coach Will uncovers the surprising ways that complaining provides immediate relief but ultimately holds you back. If you've ever vented about homework, delayed flights, or frustrating situations, this episode is for you.

Lilly Ettinger explores Jonah alongside the prophetic tradition of bringing anger, disappointment, and protest directly to God. What if complaint isn't a failure of faith, but part of a faithful relationship with God? Lilly considers how making room for honest complaint might expand our understanding of justice, restoration, and God's surprising mercy. [Jonah 3:10-4:11]   Reflection Questions 1. Where am I waiting for judgment instead of hoping for restoration?  2. Where has God been gracious to me in my discomfort?  3. Where might my idea of justice be smaller than God's mercy?

Enjoy this replay from September 20, 2026 with Senior Associate Leader Shane Harris. Complaining never arrives at a solution, yet it always arrives somewhere. In Numbers 14, a generation that had seen the promised land told God they would rather have died in the wilderness, and God gave them the exact address they asked for. Shane walks the anatomy of a complaint and traces it to its root. The question isn't whether complaining takes you somewhere. It's whether it takes you where you want to go.

A GOP senator leaned over and told Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) how to vote. The clerk still couldn't hear him. This is day three back for an 84-year-old senator after more than 90 days away — a fall, pneumonia, two months in the hospital, and a wheelchair through the Capitol. The Senate Agriculture Committee had already stalled the farm bill without him. On Wednesday, they needed that vote. So they brought him in, called his name, and the country watched Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) lean in with “no” while McConnell quietly said “aye,” then had to say it again louder because nobody caught it the first time. The bill cleared 12-11, party lines. The question is why Republicans keep pretending this is just a tough recovery and not a fitness problem. If a Democrat this frail needed a neighbor to coach a roll call, this network would not be told to look away. Farm policy, nutrition fights, and a chamber that already runs on people who should have gone home years ago — and the party of “common sense” wheels a man in because the math is 12-11. Pat also covered: The last pennies ever minted just sold at auction for $16.7 million. We killed the coin, then collectors paid a fortune for the funeral. The Fed just hiked rates for the first time since 2023 — a quarter point, to 3.75%–4%. Warsh did it unanimously. Is America ready for a gay president? Not as a slogan. As an actual ticket. The Wachowski brothers are now the Wachowski sisters. Hollywood called it progress. Everybody else called it a pattern. James Talarico's own minister, Rev. Babs Miller, got caught on camera saying the makeover is a lie.   Should a senator who has to be walked through a committee vote still be holding that seat?

Everyone wants more ducks. But when ducks disappear, where do you go looking for answers? As duck numbers continued declining around their Mississippi hunting grounds, Pete Fulgham and friends asked a pointed question: "Where's our raft?" The search for answers le to a nearby refuge struggling with fewer employees, fewer resources, less habitat--and fewer ducks than anyone could remember, let alone during its heyday. Complaining was pointless. They decided to do something.

In this episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing lays out the exact formula for a happier life and better luck with women, and it starts with a hard truth: your own mindset might be the thing standing in your way. Constantly complaining, getting defensive over every small thing, always wanting more, these feel completely normal, but Mark explains how these mental behaviors can sabotage your quality of life and success, and gives you smart ways to correct these negative mental behaviors to dramatically improve your quality of life.   Key Takeaways: Why complaining only brings you more of what you're complaining about Why letting go of the need for people to be perfect, even by a little, saves your relationships and your sanity Why wanting more all the time is the real source of unhappiness, not the solution to it The daily practice that replaces complaining with real contentment Why chasing goals from ego never satisfies, and what to chase instead Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Episode Intro [00:00:42] – The gun range incident [00:04:47] – Anger and cynicism [00:06:34] – Complaining [00:12:21] – Accepting people as they are [00:13:22] – Let go of cynical superiority [00:18:54] – Those that live in the past, die in the past [00:19:33] – Being happy with less [00:24:49] – The secret of life and following your passions [00:27:22] – Recap of the formula [00:29:32] – Episode Outro  Connect With Mark: Apply for Mark's 3-Month Coaching Program: https://coachmarksing.com/coaching/ Check Out The Perks Program: https://coachmarksing.com/perks/ Email: CoachMarkSing@Gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachmarksing/ Grab Mark's Free Program: The Approach Formula - https://www.CoachMarkSing.com/The-Approach-Formula   About The Unapologetic Man Podcast The Unapologetic Man Podcast is your resource for mastering dating, attraction, and relationships from a confident, masculine perspective.

Gratitude is everywhere, and yet so little of it lands anywhere. Phil Pringle makes a simple case that changes the whole practice: thankfulness has to be given to someone. To be thankful to nothing is not humility, it is impossibility. And when thanks is directed to God, it becomes the strongest antidote there is to a complaining, critical, sour spirit. Paul writes from prison that we give thanks always for all things, not simply in them, and he means it, because the chains that hold him become the very thing that carries the gospel into Caesar's household. Thanksgiving opens your eyes to the doors God is opening. Complaining opens your eyes only to everything that is wrong. There are three places to aim it. Thank God for your past, and Jesus walks back into your history and heals what you have been carrying. Thank God for your present, for the beautiful and the basic alike, and you live in continual celebration rather than continual grievance. Thank God for your future, specifically, for the things you are still asking Him to do, because vocal faith gives thanks before the answer arrives. Ten lepers are healed and one returns. A nine year old girl lies in a coma, written off by every doctor in the room, and the word of the Lord says she will not die. Thanksgiving arranges the atmosphere around your life. Choose carefully what you fill it with.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1  https://instagram.com/philpringle https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl https://twitter.com/philpringle    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store

The Spiritual Practice of Complaining to God.From the series: Psalms: Song of Jesus.(bulletin here)

In this video Swami reflects on a conversation he had with a friend during this summer's Just Love Festival. The conversation centered around our inability to stand by our choices in life, with genuine acceptance and contentment. People that should be speaking of love, gratitude and the celebration of life, so often fall into the trap of complaining and victimhood to earn the pity and compassion of others, while hiding from their own responsibility and agency. Swami offers important perspectives and advice for how to tackle the issue!Connect with the Community:

This episode examines the habit of complaining and the power we retain over our response. Seneca and Epictetus remind us that while frustrations are unavoidable, resentment often adds a second layer of suffering that is largely our own.A simple practice—pause, assess, and reframe—helps turn irritation into clearer judgment and, where possible, constructive action.If you'd like to continue the practice, you might also find this Micro Morning Meditation helpful:☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: How to Stop Complaininghttps://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-how-to-stop Hosted on Acast.

A sermon about complaining from Zion Smith.Do everything without grumbling and arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world, 1by holding firm to the word of life.  - Philippians 2:14-16

Expressing sadness isn't weakness — it might be one of the most worshipful things you do. In this episode, Bryson and Randy dig into why sadness feels like the harder emotion to access (especially for those wired toward anger or control), the generational and cultural lies many of us were handed about tears meaning weakness, and Randy's practical "blue journal" practice for safely naming grief in small containers of time. They close by walking through what it means to hold grief and gratitude together, and how Biblical hope lets a loss mark us without defining us. If sadness has felt like something to avoid rather than express, let this be your invitation to set a 10-minute container this week and see what surfaces — and if it hits home, send it to a friend who needs permission to feel, too.

I asked the clouds to disperse and about twenty minutes later to my amazement, they did. Manifesting sunshine actually worked! This story might make you wonder what’s actually possible when you stop complaining about your circumstances and start asking for what you do want. There’s a much bigger application for what I learned that can help you live the life you want. My Beach Day Started With a Dilemma My friend wanted to go to a specific beach that required a town sticker. I didn’t have one. Getting that sticker meant a trip to the town office, and I wasn’t in the mood for a line or bureaucratic energy. I didn’t want the hassle, but I decided to make it work. The morning started with a clear blue sky. By the time my friend arrived, clouds had rolled in. We drove to the tax assessor’s office anyway, and I braced myself for a wait. I opened the office door and to my surprise, there was a window available. Five minutes later I was back in my car with the sticker on my bumper. If you’ve ever stood in a town office line, you know five minutes is a small miracle. Disappointing Weather We arrived at the beach, plunked down our chairs and sat down under the clouds and strong wind. My friend immediately reached for a sweatshirt. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the perfect August beach day we’d hoped for. We could have packed up and spent time complaining about the weather. But we didn’t. Instead, we chatted for a while, catching up. Then I commented on the wind and my friend made a suggestion that was so interesting. She said, “Let’s talk to the wind and see if it has a message for us.” We settled in, closed our eyes, and tuned in. The message I received was about clearing. The wind was loosening what didn’t serve me, and the sand and water were there to ground me and clear old, stuck energy. My friend received something similar. Speaking to the Wind and Clouds From there, more ideas came about talking to the wind. We asked the wind to calm down. Then the sun popped through a small hole in the clouds – it was like a sun doughnut hole. A thought thought came to me – ask the clouds to create more holes for the sunshine. And the sun did break through several more times. We didn’t leave didn’t fixate on these requests. Just asked and went back to chatting. We kept our feet in the sand and enjoyed what was. Eventually, I decided to just go for it and asked the clouds to dissipate. I asked, “Don’t you want to disperse and clear so we can see blue sky and sunshine? Come on, I know you want to do that.” I said this in a fun and teasing, playful way. Then my friend and I became reabsorbed in conversation and forgot all about it. What Happened 20-Minutes Later About twenty minutes later, I looked up and realized the wind had calmed to a breeze. When did that happen? And suddenly, the sky above us was blue. Previously, the clouds that had been parked overhead and totally motionless for hours. But now they were at the far edges of the visual sky. Now, could there be a meteorological explanation? Maybe. But the experience itself was undeniable. For about 45 minutes, we sat in the warm, bright sunshine of a day late in August, on a day that had started out gray and blustery. I like to think I had something to do with that and take the credit. Then next thought was, why hadn’t I been more specific and asked for two hours of sun? Maybe that would have been possible. By this time, it was 4pm and the clouds had drifted back as the wind had picked back up. We felt done, so we packed up and headed home. The Lesson Was Bigger than the Weather Today, thinking back over these events, it hit me. How often do I do spend time complaining, rather than enjoying what is? And how often do I just ask for what I want rather than spending time resisting what is? The minute something goes wrong, I start talking about what’s wrong with it. I say how unfair it is, how frustrating it is, what isn’t working for me. I feel dissatisfied and resistant to what is happening. That’s okay. Sometimes you need to get something off your chest. But what comes after the venting matters just as much. Do you stop there? Or, do you start to focus on what you do want? This is a question about where you are putting your energy. Complaining, resisting, feeling frustrated, these are all energy drains if they continue for too long. When you share your complaints with everyone, you are pumping that energy out into  the Universe. “I don’t want this job” is a very different comment than “here’s what I do want.” The first keeps you circling the problem, while the second moves you to invest energy and time into what you do want. We could have spent that whole beach day complaining about the wind and the clouds. Instead, we engaged with what was in front of us, asked for something different, without a lot of expectations. We noticed what was happening, thought about what we could do to possibly change our circumstances and did that. And it worked! Put Your Energy Into What You Do Want I can’t prove these conversations and requests with the elements changed the weather. What I do know for certain is that our requests changed our experience of the weather. That shift, from resistance to engagement, from complaint to request, is available to you anytime, with everything. A ritual isn’t needed or a complicated spiritual practice. You don’t need to know exactly how something works. Simply notice when you’re spending your energy on what you don’t want, and redirect yourself toward what you do want. Picture it. Talk about it. Imagine it. Ask for it. Then leave space for something to magical to happen. When you imagine what you want, something shifts inside you. Your attention and energy changes. You begin looking for possibilities instead of problems. You become more open to synchronicities. You notice little openings that you might have missed before. We can’t control the weather, other people, or most circumstances. But we can control where we put our attention and how we use our energy. That might be a much bigger kind of power than controlling the weather ever was. You are far more powerful than you actually think. Remember that and go for what you want! FAQs – Manifesting Sunshine & Everyday Magic What does it mean to manifest sunshine? Manifesting sunshine means shifting your attention and energy toward the outcome you want, in this case sunshine and a calm breeze, rather than dwelling on the conditions you don’t like. It centers on changing your relationship to what’s happening while staying open to positive shifts. Can you really influence the weather with your thoughts? There’s no scientific evidence that personal intention changes weather patterns. What shifts is your experience. Focused attention and playful engagement can change your mood, your openness to noticing happy moments, and your willingness to stay present instead of leaving or shutting down. How do I start asking for what I want instead of complaining? Let yourself vent first because that’s normal and useful. Then pause and ask yourself, “What do I want instead?” Get specific, picture it, and speak it out loud or write it down. That single question shifts your energy from resistance into a more creative, positive force. What is a synchronicity, and how is this story an example of one? A synchronicity is a meaningful coincidence that feels connected, even without a clear cause-and-effect link. Getting a beach sticker in five minutes with no line, followed by clouds parting shortly after a playful request, are both small events that felt too well-timed to be random. Why didn’t the sunshine last longer? The sun and calm wind returned to their original pattern after about 45 minutes,. Maybe this was because the request wasn’t specific about duration. Clarity matters! Naming what you want, including how much and for how long, can shape the outcome more precisely. Key Takeaways Complaining about a circumstance and asking for something different are two separate steps. Do both, just don’t stop at the first one. You don’t need proof that your request “worked” to benefit from having made it. The shift in your own energy and attention is real either way. Getting specific matters. A vague request may bring a vague or short-lived result. Staying present and engaged, even when you don’t get an instant response, keeps you open to noticing the shift when it comes. You can’t control the weather, other people, or most circumstances, but you can always choose where you put your attention and energy next. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does it mean to manifest sunshine?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Manifesting sunshine means shifting your attention and energy toward the outcome you want, in this case literal sun and calm weather, rather than dwelling on the conditions you don't like.
