Hawk walks through the post line by line, noting that Trump could have pardoned those defendants during his final two weeks in office in 2021 but did not, and disputing Trump's characterization of the Mar-a-Lago search, which recovered classified documents under a lawful warrant. He argues this is why Cornyn and Thom Tillis want the fund and the related IRS provision killed in writing. The second half turns to the Michigan Senate primary. With Dr. Abdul El-Sayed leading Representative Haley Stevens by double digits days before Tuesday's vote, and a Detroit debate poll putting El-Sayed at 95 percent, Stevens posted a heated late-night message attacking her opponent. Hawk reads it as a candidate coming undone, argues the roughly 50 million dollars in AIPAC-affiliated spending behind her has not moved the race, and questions how that message wins over El-Sayed's voters in a general election.

That reversal drew a sharp response. Senator Thom Tillis posted that despite Trump saying the fund was dead, he clearly intends to resurrect what Tillis called the payout pot, and that Blanche, whom Tillis considers qualified, likely will not be confirmed because of it. The Judiciary Committee vote is set for Tuesday, the same day as the Michigan Senate primary. Hawk makes his recurring point: Trump could have pardoned the January 6th defendants in his final two weeks in 2021 but did not, and now wants to compensate them. He also connects the dismissal of the reflecting pool case, where the DC US Attorney conceded a lack of evidence, to a broader argument about a Justice Department stumbling through high-profile cases. He notes Blanche can remain acting Attorney General even without confirmation.

As today's show begins, President Trump is holding a Cabinet meeting at Camp David. Among the participants is Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general. He wants to drop the "acting" from his title and get confirmed by the Senate. But two Republican senators are blocking Blanche because the White House won't commit to killing the president's so-called anti-weaponization fund. And, rather than compromise, Trump says he'll pull the nomination for now and wait till next year.    Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when your identity is stripped away? For speaker and youth minister Tim Jara, that question became the doorway to encountering Jesus in a life-changing way.After an injury ended his gymnastics career, Tim found himself searching for purpose and belonging. What began as a Confirmation retreat became the moment Christ transformed his life through Confession, Eucharistic Adoration, and the simple hospitality of youth ministers who saw him, welcomed him, and reminded him that he was loved.In this episode:Tim's powerful conversion story through a Confirmation retreatFinding identity after losing the thing that defined youWhy every teen needs to know they are seen and lovedParenting, ministry, and keeping Christ at the centerSocial media, authentic community, and helping young people flourishWhether you're a parent, youth minister, or simply someone longing to remember your first love for Christ, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that our true identity is found in being sons and daughters of God.  Support the show

Physical Performance Show – Episode 383 Show Notes In episode 383 of The Physical Performance Show, host Brad Beer sits down with Professor Franco Impellizzeri, one of the most influential and outspoken voices in athlete load management research, for a wide-ranging conversation on why "load management" is an old concept dressed up in new data, why the acute to chronic workload ratio (ACWR) never held up to scrutiny, and why context — not more metrics — is what separates good decision-making from noise. Show Sponsor: Pillar Performance continues to lead the way in sports nutrition through micro-nutrition innovation, now expanding into the Performance Health range. One of their newest releases, Collagen Repair, was developed with Gelita Laboratories (Germany) using a clinically trialled collagen peptide (Tendofort) to support tendon and ligament health in conditions like hamstring tendinopathy, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints, and patellofemoral pain.

Another day… another hiccup in the confirmation process for Todd Blanche as he works to become the country's next Attorney General. Now, President Trump is floating the idea of pulling the nomination… at least temporarily. What's been really interesting about this whole process is who's holding it up: two lame-duck Republican Senators. We get updates on the hearing thus far and discuss the specific reservations the two Senators seem to have.

July 26, 2026; 9am: This week, the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to decide whether to advance the nomination of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. All eyes are on two Republican committee members, Thom Tillis and John Cornyn, either of whom could tank Blanche's nomination. Meanwhile, Blanche's leadership continues to face scrutiny. Yesterday, a U.S. District Judge ordered the acting attorney general to submit to the judge unredacted copies of key Jeffrey Epstein related emails and documents along with evidence backing up the DOJ's claims that the original redactions were legitimate and followed the law under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Senator Cory Booker, a member of the Judiciary Committee, joins “The Weekend” to discuss. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche met with several Jeffrey Epstein survivors at the Justice Department as his confirmation vote remained uncertain in the Senate. Afterward, Annie Farmer said the meeting strengthened her belief that senators should reject his nomination, describing Blanche as abrasive, condescending and deliberately noncommittal. Farmer said Blanche would not promise to investigate why the FBI ignored her sister Maria Farmer's 1996 complaint, believed to be the first known federal report accusing Epstein of sexually exploiting minors. She also accused Blanche of refusing to accept responsibility for failures under his leadership, withholding documents related to charging decisions and providing an unsatisfactory explanation for his previous meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell.Blanche characterized the meeting as productive and said he encouraged survivors to provide any information that could support new prosecutions, although he acknowledged that they did not present new evidence during the discussion. The meeting occurred after Republican Sen. Thom Tillis said he would not support moving Blanche's nomination out of the Senate Judiciary Committee until Blanche personally met with Epstein's victims. Survivor Dani Bensky had testified that Blanche repeatedly failed to respond to her requests for a meeting, while Blanche initially gave conflicting answers about whether he could meet directly with represented survivors. Tillis said he was trying to support the nomination, but made clear that Blanche's treatment of the survivors would be an important factor in securing his vote.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein survivor says acting AG Blanche was 'abrasive, condescending' during meeting - ABC News

Send us Fan MailWe dig into Catholic catechesis, sacramental preparation, and the uncomfortable truth that a one hour CCD class can't replace daily formation. We kick around a bold proposal: what if readiness for First Communion, Reconciliation, and Confirmation was tested through a simple pass-fail interview, and the real burden of formation moved back to the domestic church? That opens up the hard questions about priorities, overscheduling, and whether the faith is lived at home or treated like a milestone party. From there we talk parish life and relationship: why community can't be built by the same small group doing everything, and how treating the sacraments like a “product” leads to shortcuts like drive-by bulletin stamping. We zoom out to Church renewal, unity, and why both leadership and families have responsibilities. We also reflect on contemplative religious life, the “productive” mindset, the faithful remnant, and how apologetics can drift into pride if we forget we're called to witness, not win. If this hits a nerve, listen through and then share your take with us.

Is God real? If so, why is there so much evil in the world? How do we know our God exists? Why does God only hear you sometimes? What is going on with the tabernacle and the bread? How do I actually talk to God? These are some of the questions our Confirmation students asked in class one day. These questions can seem like obstacles to faith, when in truth they are often the first footprints leading toward it. A heart that asks such things is not necessarily far from God; rather, it is a heart that seeks. Among Christ's most surprising stories is the parable of the wheat and the weeds in today's Gospel passage. A farmer sows good seed, but in the darkness an enemy scatters weeds among the wheat. The servants are eager to tear the weeds out at once, yet the master restrains them. “Let both grow together until the harvest.” At first this seems almost careless. Why would a good master tolerate weeds? But Christ is teaching us something astonishing: God permits evil, not because He delights in it, but because His wisdom is so great that He can draw from it a harvest more glorious than we can presently imagine.We long for a world where God would uproot every evil before breakfast. Yet if He did, we might discover that many of the roots are tangled with our own. Patience is one of God's greatest mercies. The same sunlight that nourishes the wheat also gives the weeds one final opportunity to become something else. God's delay is not indifference; it is mercy reaching as far as it can before justice finally arrives.Sometimes His greatest answer is not to change our circumstances, but to change us. Silence is not proof that heaven is empty. Often it is the quiet in which roots grow deepest.In the end, Christianity does not merely explain evil; it proclaims that evil does not have the final word. The Cross itself appeared to be the greatest triumph of darkness, yet from that single Friday came the salvation of the world. If God could make mankind's worst crime the doorway to eternal life, then there is no sorrow, no question, no wound He cannot weave into His final harvest. One day, when the wheat is gathered into His barn, we shall discover that not one tear entrusted to Christ was ever wasted. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 384, “After the Call, the Confirmation,” Kim discusses the confirmation of his call the prophet Jeremiah received. God was so gracious to encourage young Jeremiah by beginning to show him what ministry would look like and letting him know that there would be challenges, but the Lord would handle them for him.   Our focal passage for this episode is Jeremiah 1:12-19, with 18-19 as the focal verses:   18 For see, today I have made you strong     like a fortified city that cannot be captured,     like an iron pillar or a bronze wall. You will stand against the whole land—     the kings, officials, priests, and people of Judah. 19 They will fight you, but they will fail.     For I am with you, and I will take care of you.     I, the Lord, have spoken!”     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   How did the Lord confirm the call on your life?

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche met with several Jeffrey Epstein survivors at the Justice Department as his confirmation vote remained uncertain in the Senate. Afterward, Annie Farmer said the meeting strengthened her belief that senators should reject his nomination, describing Blanche as abrasive, condescending and deliberately noncommittal. Farmer said Blanche would not promise to investigate why the FBI ignored her sister Maria Farmer's 1996 complaint, believed to be the first known federal report accusing Epstein of sexually exploiting minors. She also accused Blanche of refusing to accept responsibility for failures under his leadership, withholding documents related to charging decisions and providing an unsatisfactory explanation for his previous meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell.Blanche characterized the meeting as productive and said he encouraged survivors to provide any information that could support new prosecutions, although he acknowledged that they did not present new evidence during the discussion. The meeting occurred after Republican Sen. Thom Tillis said he would not support moving Blanche's nomination out of the Senate Judiciary Committee until Blanche personally met with Epstein's victims. Survivor Dani Bensky had testified that Blanche repeatedly failed to respond to her requests for a meeting, while Blanche initially gave conflicting answers about whether he could meet directly with represented survivors. Tillis said he was trying to support the nomination, but made clear that Blanche's treatment of the survivors would be an important factor in securing his vote.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein survivor says acting AG Blanche was 'abrasive, condescending' during meeting - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

First Kings 13 stands up and says obedience is not optional. Jeroboam lifts his hand at a pagan altar, and God sends a man from Judah with a laser‑specific word, naming Josiah three centuries early. The altar splits, the ashes pour out, the king's arm withers and then is healed at prayer. The sign and the mercy both land. Then God's terms land too: do not eat, do not drink, do not go back the same way. The young prophet honors that word… until he doesn't. An old prophet rides out, looks credible, sounds spiritual, and lies. “An angel spoke to me,” he says. The young prophet trades the word he heard for the word he was told. He eats, he drinks, and the very mouth that deceived him pronounces judgment. On the road home a lion meets him. The lion does not eat him. The donkey is not touched. Lion, body, donkey just stand there like a billboard. That scene isn't a random attack. It is a sign. In a world of liars and lions, only the word of God can be trusted. Obedience speaks like this: God's commands are not suggestions, partial obedience is still disobedience, and no later “revelation” ever overwrites what God already said. Confirmation can come through people, but revelation comes from God. The church loves performers who can hit the script, but God asks for sons and daughters who submit. Gygas' ring shows why performance fools people. Give a man invisibility and the hidden self steps out. Social constraints make people look good. Only obedience makes people true. Awakening begins where the foundations of sin get broken and a new beginning of obedience takes root. That call lands on the church first. Behind every lie sits a lion, and disobedience still carries consequences. Grace spares a life, but disobedience can still kill a calling, a dream, a future. God means what he says and says what he means. So where does a life of obedience come from? Not from hyped passion. Passion flows from a sightline. Moses prays, “Please show me Your glory.” Isaiah sees the Lord high and lifted up, the fire touches his lips, and only then does “Here am I, send me” come out of his mouth. The Greeks ask for one thing, “Sir, we would see Jesus.” Mary sits at his feet and hears his word. People cannot obey whom they do not know. See him, and obedience stops being performance. Do it in the secret place, and the Father will reward openly.

Interview with Layton Croft, President & CEO, Carolina RushOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/carolina-rush-tsxvrush-testing-deep-porphyry-potential-in-americas-first-gold-district-9470Recording date: 1st July 2026Carolina Rush has completed the first deep drilling program at its Brewer Gold-Copper project in South Carolina, confirming the presence of a copper-gold porphyry system beneath its historic near-surface gold mine. The program, consisting of three deep holes totaling 3,500 metres, marks a significant shift in the company's exploration focus from shallow gold mineralisation to a larger, deeper target.Results from hole 37 provided early indications of a porphyry system, including elevated copper levels, the presence of chalcopyrite, and characteristic quartz veining. More importantly, hole 38 delivered a breakthrough by intersecting copper-gold mineralisation beneath the lithocap for the first time. The hole returned multiple mineralised intervals, including 60 metres grading 681 ppm copper and 0.24 g/t gold within potassic alteration, a zone typically associated with the core of porphyry deposits.A revised geological model, developed with porphyry expert Dr. Richard Sillitoe, suggests the system is tilted 20–30 degrees to the northwest rather than vertical. This interpretation implies that the mineralised core may lie at a shallower and more economically accessible depth than previously assumed.The project is being advanced through an earn-in agreement with OceanaGold, which must invest US$8 million by the end of 2027 to earn a 50% stake. Carolina Rush remains the operator, while OceanaGold brings funding and regional infrastructure, including its nearby Haile gold mine.With a defined near-surface resource of approximately 500,000 ounces of gold and growing evidence of deeper porphyry potential, Brewer represents a dual-opportunity asset. Assay results from the third hole are pending, and further drilling is planned to test the system along its interpreted northwest extension.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/carolina-rushSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The first retrial hearing produced a ruling that goes directly to the defense's ability to prepare. Judge McCaslin denied Murdaugh a laptop after the prison warden refused. The conference room compromise means every discovery review session requires his attorneys to physically visit the facility with their own equipment. Harpootlian warned the court that without better access, preparation could take longer than the April 5 deadline allows.For case followers: the defense revealed its hand at this hearing in ways that hadn't been public before. Transcripts from first responders with conflicting accounts about who was present at Moselle. Confirmation that eight new experts are being brought in. A public acknowledgment that whether Murdaugh takes the stand again is undecided. And the DNA motion — Item No. 70, the unknown male DNA from under Maggie's fingernails — deferred to August 14.Bob Motta evaluates what the defense showed and what they clearly held back.
