    OA1292 - Jenessa takes us through the Supreme Court's 6-3 shadow docket ruling in Trump v. California, which lifted a preliminary injunction blocking Trump's executive order directing the U.S. Postal Service to gatekeep mail-in ballot delivery before the midterms. Is this a procedural technicality or a five-alarm fire for November? And what does it mean that the Postal Service published its final rule on a Friday night, in apparent violation of an injunction, right before the Court's Monday ruling? Jenessa walks through the chaotic docket, Judge Talwani's genius pivot, and why Justice Jackson's 20-page solo dissent might be the most important thing you read this election season. Cases discussed: Trump v. California (Supreme Court shadow docket, 8/25/2026) League of Women Voters of Massachusetts v. Trump, D. Mass. DSCC v. Trump, D.D.C. State of California v.

    Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: MONARCH, GATE, and organized child abuse survivor, overcomer and now whistleblower, artist, creative, dog and animal lover, consciousness explorer, investigative researcher, freelance filmmaker, cinematographer, claymation effects and 3D art maker, and a courageous young man standing up for liberty and justice for all survivors, Adam HamerA little bit about Adam and what you can expect to hear more about today: Adam's story begins in the public schools of Tucson in the 1990s. Enrolled in the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program starting in kindergarten, he was told it was simply enhanced curriculum. What followed, was far more complex - a deeper layer of experiences that left vast stretches of his childhood memory as “inky black pools of nothingness,” punctuated by fragments that only later revealed their full weight. As he transferred through schools, the program continued and for nearly 32 years, large portions of those years remained locked away. Then, last year, a single video linking trauma-based mind control with the GATE program unlocked the floodgates and the connections formed. Justice became not just a hope, but a mission. What follows is the story of a man who refused to accept silence or erasure. Adam filed extensive first-party Privacy Act requests with different agencies and sought records related to the programs he recalled being used in as a child. The responses - citations of “unusual circumstances,” national security exemptions, delays, defaults, and rephrasings - only strengthened his resolve. He is not merely suing for personal redress; he is fighting to establish that every single human being owns their DNA, genetic profile, and bio-quantum field forever. No agency, corporation, or unacknowledged defense infrastructure can claim proprietary interest, tracking rights, or modification rights over biological sovereignty without explicit, written, informed consent. His ultimate goal is broader still: to force a modern Church Committee II that brings these programs into the light of congressional oversight, strips away blank checks, and permanently protects the cognitive autonomy of every person on the planet. This case is about ensuring that children today, and every future generation, retain absolute, sovereign ownership over their flesh, blood, mind, and spirit. He has spoken of the profound difficulty male survivors face in coming forward, the societal barriers that silence them, and his determination to change that reality. As a filmmaker (including work as lead editor on the Hype Williams/Kanye West video “Marvin & Chardonnay”), he brings creative insight to his advocacy, even reflecting on how unconscious patterns from his experiences surfaced in his professional work. Childhood drawings, medical records, and official correspondence form the mosaic of evidence he has presented to authorities and the courts.Adam is more than a survivor. He is a warrior of light who has turned personal trauma into a universal shield. In a world where the human genome and consciousness itself risk becoming contested territory, he stands as the first to plant the flag of absolute ownership. He reminds us that one voice, armed with truth and persistence, can compel the most entrenched systems to answer. He fights not for vengeance, but for a future where no child is funneled into programs under false pretenses, where consent is sacred, and where every person owns their biological and quantum self forever.In Adam we see the best of the American spirit: resilience forged in adversity, patriotism rooted in the Constitution, and an unrelenting demand that the government serve the people rather than experiment upon them. His legacy is already taking shape - not in the shadows of unacknowledged programs, but in the bright light of accountability, neuro-rights, and the simple, revolutionary declaration that the human being is sovereign. The body is not federal property. The mind is not a battlespace. And Adam is ensuring the world never forgets.

    From there Hawk lays out the political reality. Even with 52 or 53 Senate seats, Democrats would be far short of the Republican votes needed for conviction, and a Republican-controlled Senate might decline to hold a trial at all. He notes how Mitch McConnell pointed to the courts after January 6th, and how impeachments historically boost a president's poll numbers, as they did for Bill Clinton and for Trump twice before. Weighing it out, Hawk points to an open 2028 White House, a Senate GOP already tired of Trump after the primary losses of John Cornyn, Bill Cassidy, and Thom Tillis, and his own mixed feelings. He explains why he leans toward moving on rather than grinding Congress to a halt, while acknowledging the constitutional argument for using the remedy the founders provided.

    Jeff is back after a long absence, and he explains why: the bipartisan insanity in America left him too disgusted to record, even for the nation's 250th birthday. He remembers the 1976 bicentennial, when kids collected special quarters, flags flew everywhere, and Americans actually liked their country. Compare that to now. What changed? Muslim terror supporters are winning elections coast to coast: Mamdani's New York, where tax dollars fund Israel-bashing puppet shows for four-year-olds, and Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed will cruise into the Senate after answering a synagogue terror attack with "hurt people, hurt people." Jew hate is now the one issue uniting the far left and the Nazi right — and it wins. And Jeff is officially done defending Trump. Iran "unconditionally surrendered"? They're still firing missiles, rebuilding nuclear sites, and executing protesters while Trump begs for a deal and dangles F-35s in front of Turkey's fanatical dictator Erdogan. Compromised by Qatari billions or just a moron — either way, America's last chance is gone. Next week: Jeff finally takes on the Lindsay Clancy case.

    What would a Libertarian actually do if elected to Congress? Brian Lambert says Washington needs less power, Americans need more freedom, and the government needs to get out of your wallet. Josh Martens sits down with Brian Lambert, a Navy veteran and Libertarian candidate for Florida's 14th Congressional District, to break down his campaign and political philosophy. Lambert explains why he left the Republican Party, why his campaign centers on "your money, your freedom, your vote," and how he approaches federal spending, veterans' care, healthcare, war, surveillance, small business, and taxes. They dig into some of the biggest libertarian fights in American politics: • Cutting federal spending and returning education to local control • Protecting veterans while questioning America's military interventions • Getting government and insurance bureaucracies out of healthcare decisions • Ending warrantless mass surveillance and pushing back on Flock cameras Plus, Lambert explains why constitutional limits should come before political convenience and why reducing the IRS could give Americans more financial freedom.

    So it's been a couple of weeks and the craziness has died down, so let's discuss this huge celebrity wedding that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hosted in NYC over the 2026 July 4th weekend.  A lot of money, a lot of media, and a whole lotta hoopla. But was it all necessary in the first place, especially given how much media saturation Taylor already experiences on a daily basis?  Let's explore the reasoning why Taylor would think that this media circus would be a good idea in the first place - ALL MY OPINION of course. Also, I share with you (something I NEVER knew) that Taylor does to keep herself the top of the charts. This shocked me, but what shocked me more was the huge rock I was living under where this was concerned. How could I not know this? We also have to discuss the way that Madonna fans CAME FOR ME in the comment section of the last video I did about her and J Lo. Apparently they were very upset that I dared to suggest that an almost 70 year old woman might want to start covering it up and having a sense of decency. They were not happy, to say the least...

    TONIGHT-CONTENTS-8-26-2026California Swells Weather And Nevada CasinosJeff Bliss discusses a massive southern ocean swell creating rare surfing conditions at Newport Harbor's channel. Driven by an intense tropical storm off Mexico, California is experiencing unprecedented humidity and a nearly five-degree Fahrenheit rise in ocean temperatures, prompting a surge in marine life including hammerhead and great white sharks. Turning to Nevada, Bliss describes the K-shaped economy, where Las Vegas strip casinos profit from wealthy international tourists, while local traffic declines. He details In-N-Out's slow, quality-controlled eastward expansion and concludes with Berkeley's controversial, permissive approach toward housing campus homeless encampments, noting they receive government-funded clean needles and glass pipes. (1)Separation Of Powers And Election FraudRichard Epstein discusses a federal ruling by Judge Indira Talwani blocking the Trump administration's postal mail-in voting regulations for the 2026 midterms. Epstein asserts the administration overstepped, as the Constitution explicitly delegates election regulation to Congress, not the executive. He criticizes Chief Justice John Roberts's defense of the unitary executive, calling his opinions a disgrace that allows executive power to swamp both the legislature and the judiciary. Lastly, Epstein references Paul Krugman's views on Trump's destructive physical and institutional teardown of Washington and laments how flawed standing doctrines prevent ordinary citizens from legally challenging executive overreach in federal court. (2)Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center details the alarming surge of the United States gross national debt to record heights, exceeding forty trillion dollars. She argues that the country suffers from an out-of-control spending problem rather than a lack of tax revenue, citing massive unpaid pandemic spending. De Rugy blames both political parties for avoiding structural reforms and warns of the critical 2032 deadline when Social Security and Medicare funding will face automatic, severe cuts. She predicts that Congress will resort to further debt and inflation, which will heavily penalize the public, while indebted European nations face similar struggles. (3)Economic Boom In Idyllic Lancaster CountyJim McTague details the thriving post-pandemic economy of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Tourism remains robust, with attractions like the Renaissance Faire drawing two hundred thousand visitors annually. The local real estate market is red-hot, with retirees purchasing existing homes with cash and bid-ups creating million-dollar McMansions. McTague notes that rising inflation has packed Costco aisles with middle-class shoppers seeking the famous five-dollar loss-leader rotisserie chickens. He also discusses local commercial resistance to data centers, explaining how the impoverished borough of Columbia rejected a lucrative data center deal that would have solved its fiscal deficits, while baby boomers power local restaurants. (4)Small Business Growth And AI IntegrationGene Marks reports on his travels, conversing with host John Batchelor about a Quebec credit union conference where executives discussed loans, competitiveness, and adopting AI in front and back offices. Due to high mortgage rates, credit unions are shifting focus toward commercial loans. In Atlanta's thriving steel industry, tariffs have boosted competitiveness, and companies are deploying AI-powered robotic arms, gloves, and dogs to improve safety. Finally, a recent Pew Research survey indicates that Gen X is leading AI adoption because older, established professionals feel more secure than younger generations, though Marks calls the fear of job loss an urban legend. (5)French Resistance And World War ExileJane Rogoyska, author of Hotel Exile: Paris in the Shadow of War, Part Two: Rogoyska details how German anti-fascists and French Jews fled Paris for Marseilles and Spain in 1941. While Heinrich Mann escaped successfully, philosopher Walter Benjamin tragically committed suicide at the Spanish border. Rogoyska notes that Samuel Beckettjoined the resistance after Paul Léon's arrest. The Abwehr, aided by the treacherous priest Robert Alesch, infiltrated resistance networks, but was sidelined as the Gestapo's brutality worsened. Post-war, the Lutetia hotel became a repatriation center processing concentration camp survivors. Beckett survived and wrote literary masterpieces, while Alesch was executed. (6)Nuclear Politics And Precision Guided WarfareHenry Sokolski, executive director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, discusses the unpublicized nuclear cooperative agreement between the United States and Saudi Arabia. He warns host John Batchelor that keeping side agreements secret from the American public prevents Congressional oversight. Saudi Arabia refuses to sign the additional protocol for inspections, claiming it violates sovereignty. Sokolski also highlights Poland's conflicting stances on hosting nuclear weapons, Germany's interest in funding the United Kingdom's Trident submarine program, and how Russia uses precision-guided munitions to target civilians and demoralize Ukraine, moving nuclear weapons further into the background, concluding that this is the new reality. (7)Debating Environmental Politics Of Data CentersKevin Frazier leads a roundtable with Jim McTague and Simon Constable discussing the political and environmental backlash against data centers. Frazier details how Lancaster City welcomed data centers to erase its school district's deficit, while the poorer borough of Columbia rejected a lucrative deal due to local protests. Frazier argues that data centers are vital national infrastructure, defending the construction jobs they create and noting that blocking them harms the digital economy. Finally, Constable shares trivia from his Wall Street Journal quiz, revealing that Virginia leads the United States in data centers, followed globally by the United Kingdom. (8)V

    The band is back together again this week as John Yoo ends his truancy, and we take up the fresh legal and constitutional disputes of the moment, starting with the Supreme Court's recent rulings about mail-in ballots the the Trump Administration's efforts to enlist the Postal Service on behalf of election integrity. From there we move on to the novel proposal to bring back prize courts and authorize old fashioned "privateers" to capture Iranian shipping on the high seas and profit from their cargoes—something United States hasn't done since around the time of Andrew Jackson (Trump's favorite president, perhaps not coincidentally.). Then, on to the emerging controversy over Flock cameras, and whether we can trust the government not to abuse them or use them to spy on and harass us. This week's cameo appearance is from our favorite classist Alex Priou, who joins us to discuss his terrifically cheeky recenbt essay, "How to Be an Elitist." And our listener question this week is: why does the president get to select the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Shouldn't that be up to the members of the Court? The president doesn't get to appoint the Speaker of the House, after all, and the language on this matter in the Constitution is incomplete or ambiguous. Hmmm.

    On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, there's deep frustration, shared by many Americans, over government officials who voice concerns about figures like Abdul El-Sayed, and Hasan Piker yet take no real action against them. We're not discussing freedom of religion but rather individuals who seek to destroy the country, promote violence, attack the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, and undermine the system—primarily first- and second-generation Islamists, some of them naturalized citizens or children of birthright citizenship (like Piker). The Washington ruling class lacks the will to defend law-abiding American patriots, with Democrats protecting such individuals for their votes and others remaining intimidated by accusations of Islamophobia. Later, a Democrat nobody's heard of, Rep Johnny Olszewski, declares that impeachment of President Trump a top priority if Democrats take the House. Democrats are weaponizing impeachment for pure politics against a president who won a record popular vote, Electoral College total, and every swing state, rather than addressing genuine constitutional violations. Also, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani opposes a private Manhattan event featuring the leader of India's Hindu nationalist group (the RSS, ideological parent of the ruling party and linked to Prime Minister Modi). This is part of a pattern of his hostility toward Jews, Italians, and now Indians.  Mamdani a bigot who trashes PM Modi the same way leftists trash PM Netanyahu.  Later, Hasan Piker's recent remarks linking American Jews' support for Israel to potential violence against them, while blaming AIPAC for Democratic backlash, have drawn condemnations from several Democratic lawmakers. AIPAC is a transparent American PAC funded by Americans—unlike foreign influence from places such as Qatar or Turkey. Finally, Sen Dan Sullivan calls in to discuss his Senate election against Mary Peltola, who is a far-left liberal whose two terms in Congress produced zero bills signed into law. Sullivan called Alaska's ranked-choice voting system a manipulable scam put on the ballot to elect liberals - don't fall for it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    How did Hugh Mercer, a 20-year-old Scottish fugitive who survived the Battle of Culloden, become one of George Washington's generals and die at the Battle of Princeton? Discover the forgotten American Revolution story of Hugh Mercer and how his extraordinary second chance reveals something fundamental about America itself. In this episode of America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano uncovers the remarkable story of General Hugh Mercer. From a hunted Jacobite rebel who escaped the British crackdown after Culloden to a frontier physician, French and Indian War veteran, respected Virginia leader, and Continental Army general, Mercer's life embodies a timeless American truth: your past does not have to determine your future.   What You'll Learn In This Episode:    The Fugitive Physician: How Hugh Mercer survived the Battle of Culloden in 1746, escaped the British crackdown on Jacobite rebels, and found a second chance in colonial Pennsylvania. The Crucible of Reinvention: How Mercer rebuilt his life as a physician, earned the respect of his community, served in the French and Indian War, and developed a close relationship with George Washington. The Ultimate Gamble of 1776: Why a 50-year-old doctor who had already survived one failed rebellion chose to risk his family, fortune, and life on the American Revolution. The Stand at William Clarke's Orchard: What happened at the Battle of Princeton when British troops surrounded Mercer, reportedly mistook him for Washington, and left him mortally wounded after he refused to surrender. The Lesson for Today: Why the American story is not about perfection, but redemption, and why America must preserve the belief that failure, background, and past mistakes do not have to dictate a person's future. Hugh Mercer never lived to see American independence. He never saw the Constitution, George Washington become president, or the republic his sacrifice helped create. Yet his life captures something essential about the American experiment: America does not require perfect people. It offers people the opportunity to rise, rebuild, and redeem themselves. But a second chance also carries responsibility, and every generation must decide what it will do with the opportunities America provides.

    In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz presents part 2 of his one-on-one interview with Justice Clarence Thomas, covering the Justice’s views on constitutional interpretation, precedent, property rights, the Second Amendment, Reconstruction, and the role of the judiciary in protecting individual liberty. Thomas shares personal stories from his early career, discusses the lasting influence of thinkers like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams, and explains how his approach to the law has developed during his tenure on the nation’s highest court. In Part 2 the discussion shifts from Thomas’s personal journey to his judicial philosophy and more than three decades on the Supreme Court. Thomas explains why he believes the Constitution belongs to ordinary Americans, not just judges, lawyers, and legal scholars. The conversation explores Thomas’s views on race, equal protection, affirmative action, and the importance of a colorblind Constitution. He reflects on his intellectual evolution, the influence of economist Thomas Sowell, and the personal experiences that shaped his understanding of liberty, equality, and individual responsibility. Thomas also discusses the Declaration of Independence as the foundation of America’s constitutional system, arguing that rights come from God and are protected by government, not created by it. Drawing on lessons from his grandfather, his life experiences, and decades on the Court, he explains why he believes legal interpretation should remain grounded in history, text, and common sense. Topics Covered: Clarence Thomas’s constitutional philosophy and originalist approach The influence of Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and intellectual independence Race, equal protection, affirmative action, and a colorblind Constitution The Declaration of Independence as the foundation of constitutional rights Property rights, eminent domain, and the Kelo v.

    On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, we lost an American legend: Dolly Parton passed away at the age of 80. The news was sudden and hits in a personal way. Dolly was the quintessential American: grew up dirt poor, she became a success not due to socialism or government programs, but through talent and hard work. She wasn't a political hack and had her opinions, but she loved this country and was a great patriot. There was never any hint of scandal in her private life. She had some health problems in the last years of her life and recently posted basically a goodbye to her fans. She'll be remembered along with legends like Elvis and Johnny Cash. Dolly Parton, American legend. She will be missed. Also, Social Security is in deep trouble. Founded in 1935 as government-funded retirement insurance, it's expanded massively from its original scope to more than 58 million recipients. Unlike in years past, soon there will not be enough workers to pay into the system. It's effectively broke. Social Security is meant to be funded by payroll taxes - effectively, a tax on employment. The money is supposed to be deposited into a trust fund, but that no longer exists. Today's retirees get less benefits than they paid in. And those who didn't pay into the system, like illegal aliens, get full benefits. Politicians are running Social Security into the ground like they did Medicare. Then, why are so many young people socialists? Because they don't read substantive stuff. And not these AI-generated books, but real books by real authors who did their own original research. Young people these days would rather get on TikTok and social media than read a book about America, the Constitution, the Third Reich, the Holocaust, or isolationism in the 1930s that led to Pearl Harbor. Ever see these videos where someone goes to college campuses and ask students basic questions about American civics? What does the Senate do? What is the Electoral College? What does packing the Supreme Court mean? They haven't a clue. This is why education is so important, especially early in life. We've handed education over to the government and teachers' unions, and we wonder why kids grow up loving socialism? Finally, Jeanne Allen, author of "The Education Avengers: How and Why a New Class of Heroes Is Fighting America's Biggest Battle," tells the stories of twelve remarkable individuals who, like The Avengers from the Marvel movie, fought for those who can't defend themselves: children. The Education Avengers took on the Hydra - aka the education establishment, the many-headed tangle of rules, compliance mandates, unions and apathy. These people come from different backgrounds: teachers, entrepreneurs, pastors, parents, innovators and business leaders. They're examples of what ordinary people can do when they band together and don't accept the status quo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Welcome to my Chapter 15 RECAP of 1997's "Child Bride" by Suzanne Finstad called  "Two-Timing Elvis." Welcome back to Germany in 1960 - Elvis has left Priscilla to go back to the United States and to his music and movie career  - but NOT before she promises him faithfulness and fidelity until he sees her again. This is the Priscilla/Elvis Myth that has been perpetuated for decades, by Priscilla herself.  But what really happened when Elvis left Priscilla? Did she wait patiently for him, pining in her bedroom, writing him letters, hopeful and wondering if they would ever be reunited again? That is what she has told us in countless interviews over the years and in her two autobiographies - but is that the truth? In this chapter, we break down what really happened in Germany in 1960 when Elvis left Priscilla, as the author shatters the "good girl" Priscilla myth!   More on CURRIE GRANT and Priscilla's Relationship here -  https://youtu.be/9NaLiUUVQu4?si=dKaeSvJR2l7XrTrK Catch up on all of my videos on Pricilla Presley and all of my book recaps from the chapters of "Child Bride" HERE-  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyIMNnG5yA189db0kXDep0aA6ARD5ZCt7   Watch this episode here -https://youtu.be/BLYQ5WpowTEhttps://youtu.be/BLYQ5WpowTE   Love the show?

    On Monday's Mark Levin Show, AI and data centers are the new boogeyman. And the ones complaining the loudest are so-called conservatives. According to a poll, 71% of Americans oppose data centers. But what is it they oppose? There's a lot of lies and misinformation floating around, like what happened during COVID. It's democracy vs. mobocracy, and people are throwing their principles to the wind. While West Virginia welcomes data centers, California wants to ban them. People who call themselves conservatives preach against socialism then demand government kill an entire industry? This is where the rubber hits the road: conservatives must either support what's right or join the mob. We're capitalists, this is who we are. America must support new technologies that will create new jobs and secure our future. Also, people are always distrustful of new things, but we can't be afraid to stand up to the mob. We say we're America First but oppose an industry that will keep America as the world's tech leader? We say we want to hire Americans over foreigners but try to ban a new industry that will create jobs? The hypocrisy is thick. Then, Abdul El-Sayed on MS NOW complains that Trump thinks he's less American. And why wouldn't he? El-Sayed says the election is about pocketbook issues like healthcare and affordability but with someone like El-Sayed, this election is about his ties to terror groups. It is about sharia law. It is about his father's ties. It is his association with Hasan Piker who thinks America deserved 9/11. Did El-Sayed's parents or grandparents fight for this country? Don't be fooled by Islamists who pretend to be someone they're not. Finally, JD Vance says we must be ruthless in our exercise of power. That's wrong. There is a difference between positive power and negative power. While negative power is the ruthless use of power, positive power is power exercised properly in line with the Constitution and the Declaration's emphasis on the individual. The Constitution spells out who gets what kind of power and how much, and the further away we get from the Constitution, the closer we come to authoritarianism and tyranny. The key point: power must be exercised legitimately. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Did Joseph Smith really predict that the Constitution of the United States would one day “hang by a thread” and that the Latter-day Saints would step forward to save it? And what about the mysterious and controversial White Horse Prophecy—a dramatic account involving the future of the United States, the Constitution, and the destiny of the Latter-day Saints? In this episode of Church History Matters, Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths take a careful look at one of the most debated statements in Latter-day Saint history. The White Horse Prophecy has been repeated, quoted, expanded, and sometimes used to interpret modern politics for generations. But how much of it can actually be traced back to Joseph Smith? Scott and Casey examine the weaknesses in the prophecy's claim to authenticity, including the late recollection on which much of the account depends, the absence of a contemporary record, and questions about how the story changed and developed over time. The result is a fascinating example of why historians have to distinguish between what may have been remembered, what can be documented, and what later generations may have added to the story. But that does not mean every idea associated with the White Horse Prophecy should be dismissed. The famous concept that the Constitution of the United States would one day “hang by a thread” has a stronger historical foundation. Multiple sources attribute statements to Joseph Smith expressing concern for the future of the Constitution and describing a time when it would face grave danger. Scott and Casey explore those sources, their strengths and limitations, and what Joseph Smith may actually have meant. Join us as we separate prophecy from folklore, documentation from tradition, and historical evidence from later interpretation. What can we responsibly say Joseph Smith taught about the future of the Constitution? What parts of the White Horse Prophecy are difficult to substantiate? And why has this controversial story continued to capture the imagination of Latter-day Saints for more than a century?

On August 12, 2026, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Navarre's Pastries in Springfield, Livingston Parish, Louisiana, uncovering a reported distribution hub for nine types of drugs including cocaine, MDMA, and Adderall, along with 52 firearms (bolt-action rifles, pump-action shotguns, one AR-style rifle, one Japanese Type 11 machine gun, and one stolen from the Sheriff's Office) and $3,550 in cash. Owner Jules Navarre faces 62 charges, primarily 52 counts of possessing a firearm in the presence of a controlled dangerous substance, plus possession of a stolen firearm and nine counts of possession with intent to distribute various drugs. Sheriff Jason Ard described it as a narcotics distribution hub; the business is currently closed and Navarre remains in custody, presumed innocent pending trial. Louisiana law permits disposition of seized firearms via auction, transfer, or sale to an FFL upon conviction or plea. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The raid and charges affect Jules Navarre and Navarre's Pastries in Springfield, Livingston Parish, Louisiana; the operation appears local to Livingston Parish with no interstate or multi-state distribution details stated. Impact: Navarre faces 62 felony-level charges under Louisiana law, with the majority tied to firearm possession alongside controlled substances, plus drug distribution and stolen property counts; seized firearms may be auctioned, transferred, or sold to a federal firearms licensee post-conviction or plea, highlighting state-level enforcement of combined drug-gun offenses. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: A Louisiana bakery was allegedly used as a local hub for drug distribution and illegal firearm possession, resulting in dozens of charges against the owner and seizure of 52 guns and narcotics; the case remains ongoing with presumption of innocence. bearingarms.com (Savage) Giffords Board Member Sari Horwitz Discovers Shocking Fact About the Politics of Gun Control Explore the politics and campaign finance dynamics behind gun control after school shootings. Sari Horwitz, former Washington Post reporter and new Giffords board member, wrote in The Atlantic that a study found pro-Second Amendment groups increased political contributions by over 30% (up to 2,820% near elections) after school shootings. Bearing Arms columnist Cam Edwards argues this reflects smart political responsiveness rather than cynicism, noting gun-control PACs increased spending similarly and surpassed pro-gun groups by 2018, with the study showing no measurable effect on election outcomes. The Gist: Affects U.S. national gun control advocacy groups including Giffords and pro-Second Amendment PACs; focuses on federal and competitive-district elections following school shootings. Impact: Highlights perceived hypocrisy in gun-control advocates labeling pro-gun spending increases as cynical while their own PACs engage in identical post-tragedy fundraising; reinforces arguments that gun rights groups effectively counter emotional pressure for new restrictions without proven electoral impact. Bottom Line: The article frames Horwitz's Atlantic piece as advocacy journalism that ignores symmetric behavior by gun-safety groups, concluding her claims should not be taken at face value. bearingarms.com (Savage) Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC v. Iron Horse R&R LLC (CAM-L-002643-26) NJ developer sues long-standing gun range over alleged environmental issues in a potential land grab dispute. Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC, controlled by Pennsylvania lawyer and real estate investor Harvey Sternberg, filed suit in Camden County Superior Court against Iron Horse R&R LLC, a gun club operating since 1947 in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. The complaint alleges environmental violations including improper solid waste disposal, soil stockpiling, and potential contamination affecting adjoining properties, seeking to halt range operations. Iron Horse characterizes the action as a land-grab attempt to facilitate residential development on the adjacent Waddell Property, with a public hearing scheduled for September 4. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The lawsuit targets Iron Horse gun range in Gloucester Township, Camden County, New Jersey; it involves the adjoining Waddell Property under contract to Bryn Mawr Garwood LLC for potential townhome development (context of 750 additional units) and directly affects the long-operating private gun club and local township enforcement actions. Impact: Claims center on untested “potentially contaminated” soil and environmental harm under implied state statutes, with Sternberg's $44k+ in donations to local Democrats and PACs since 2021 noted; the case raises concerns over regulatory use against established ranges to enable redevelopment, with Iron Horse optimistic ahead of the Sept. 4 hearing. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: This Camden County suit (CAM-L-002643-26) pits a developer against a 79-year-old New Jersey gun range in what the club calls a land-grab; no soil testing has been conducted on the alleged contamination, and the dispute will proceed to public hearing on September 4. The Truth About Guns (Savage) Abdul El-Sayed Floated Replacing 2nd Amendment with Constitutional Right to Health Care (Michigan U.S. Senate Candidate, 2023 Video) Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once floated trading the Second Amendment for a right to health care. In a since-deleted April 6, 2023 YouTube video titled variations of “The Right to Bear Arms – The Right to Have Healthcare!”, Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed proposed amending the Constitution by replacing the Second Amendment's right to keep and bear arms with a “right to have health care.” He argued the change would result in “fewer people dying by gun and more people living because they have healthcare.” The clips were removed prior to his Senate run; his campaign later stated that he “respects the Second Amendment, and also believes that access to healthcare is a right.” The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): The proposal was made by Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan; it would require a national constitutional amendment under Article V and therefore affect the entire United States, with particular political relevance to Michigan voters in the 2026 Senate race. Impact: The suggestion revives debate over repealing or altering the Second Amendment, a change that would face insurmountable Article V hurdles (two-thirds of both houses of Congress plus three-fourths of the states) and trigger intense opposition from gun-rights groups; politically, the resurfaced 2023 video has drawn criticism and scrutiny of El-Sayed's past progressive positions on guns, police funding, and July 4th celebrations during his current campaign. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: El-Sayed's now-deleted video explicitly floated trading the individual right to keep and bear arms for a constitutional “right to health care” on the theory it would save more lives; the idea remains aspirational rhetoric with no legislative traction, and his campaign now emphasizes respect for the Second Amendment alongside support for expanded healthcare access. townhall.com (Savage) Gavin Newsom Signs the Stop Nick Shirley Act (AB 2624) Into Law Gov. Gavin Newsom signs the controversial Stop Nick Shirley Act, raising free speech and journalism concerns. On August 23, 2026, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 2624, known as the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.” The legislation targets citizen journalist Nick Shirley's investigations that exposed fraud schemes in nonprofit and government programs in California and Minnesota. It restricts publication of certain nonprofit information and prohibits unauthorized recordings or photographs of employees and volunteers. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected) The law applies only to California, imposing restrictions on nonprofit organizations, their employees, volunteers, and individuals conducting investigations or journalism within the state. It does not extend to other states. Impact: Legal/Political Impact The bill creates new limits on recording, photographing, and publishing information about nonprofits, with potential fines and imprisonment for violations. Opponents, including Senator Tony Strickland, Carl DeMaio, and Eric Daugherty, argue it chills free speech, journalism, and accountability efforts,...

    You don't need a tyrant to kill a republic. You just need permission.133 BC. The Capitol. Broken benches, snapped legs, senators pouring out of a meeting to attack an election already underway. For more than three and a half centuries — since the tribune of the plebs was created around 494 BC — no sitting tribune had been touched by his own government, let alone killed. Tribunes were sacrosanct, physically untouchable under Roman law. If you laid a hand on one, any Roman citizen could legally kill you for it. That protection was written into the Constitution specifically to shield ordinary Romans from the Senate.On the day Tiberius Gracchus stood for reelection, that protection dissolved in about ten minutes. Scipio Nasica — Rome's Pontifex Maximus, its own chief priest — led a group of senators out of the meeting where they'd just failed to persuade the consul to act. They snapped the legs off their own benches. They walked to where the assembly was gathering. They beat Tiberius Gracchus and about 300 of his supporters to death, and threw his body into the Tiber like a criminal.The moment the first bench leg came down on his skull, the Roman Republic entered a phase it would never leave. Every Roman strongman who came after — Marius, Sulla, Caesar — could look back at this one afternoon and say the same thing: it's already been done.But here's what most treatments miss: Tiberius Gracchus was RIGHT about the problem. The land crisis was real. The recruiting collapse was real. The illegally-held ager publicus was real. What killed the Republic wasn't the reform itself. It was the specific way he pushed it through, and the specific way the Senate chose to answer.This is Episode 3 of the "Fall of the Roman Republic" series and the first specific case episode after Ep 113 (the system explained) and Ep 115 (the 100-year framework primer).

U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled that Secretary of State Marco Rubio exceeded his legal authority by ordering visa denials for applicants who had otherwise been found eligible to enter the United States.

    The testimony in that case has covered her marriage, her care, and what she was experiencing before the killings, including perinatal and postpartum mental illness. A lot of women recognized pieces of their own experience in it and said so publicly. Hawk's point is the distinction being deliberately collapsed. Empathy for what someone went through is not approval of what they did, and he has not seen a single person express the latter. He draws on his own experience of posting about hard things and reading the responses, where the value is finding out you are not the only one. Then the arithmetic. Roughly 153 million people voted last November, women at a higher rate than men. The proposal on the table would strip the vote from well over 100 million Americans.

    Mark Levin Podcast

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 22, 2026 110:51


    On Friday's Mark Levin Show, a major debate among conservatives will run through the 2028 Republican primaries, pitting Buchananites (post-liberal conservatives) against Reaganites and Trumpites, with some Trumpites sounding more like the former. It centers on national conservatism versus traditional constitutional conservatism and the proper use of government power. Some voices push interventionism resembling FDR or LBJ—socialist lite—without clear limits, seeking popular appeal while dismissing the strong growth of the 1980s. Such candidates could win a primary but lose the general election. Power is ubiquitous and shapes politics and liberty, yet is distinct from liberty itself.  Properly used, as in the American Revolution and the Constitution that replaced the weak Articles of Confederation, it secures ordered liberty through limited, divided government (“positive power”). Abused, it centralizes authority, erodes liberty, and turns democracies toward autocracy (“negative power”)—via courts overriding voters, people voting away their freedom, or bureaucratic expansion. Also, Doran Spielman, international spokesman in the Israeli Prime Minister's office, describes rising tensions as Erdogan moves military forces into Syria near Israel's border to exploit the situation, having taken over and militarized a former Russian base despite Netanyahu's warnings, prompting an Israeli Air Force strike. Erdogan is now sending more vehicles including tanks into southwestern Syria; Netanyahu has again warned against it, while Erdogan claims this is not Gaza and even the United States could not protect Israel if struck, to which Netanyahu replied that Israel has faced bigger empires. Later, President Trump campaigns for Sen Darline Graham in South Carolina and we take his remarks live! Finally, Ken Paxton calls in his Texas Senate race against James Talarico - a hardcore leftist who is trying to reinvent himself as a moderate Democrat. If a Democrat wins this seat, it would reshape Texas and threaten Republican control of the Senate. Paxton's top priority is the Save America Act to secure elections; he also prioritizes tackling the federal deficit, placing constitutional conservatives on the judiciary, and confronting China as America's primary economic and military challenge.

    This week on the Mark Levin Show, we should encourage independent engagement with ideas like those of Justice Clarence Thomas rather than selling out to the left, communists, socialists, Islamists, the Woke Reich, isolationists, or others who have fallen into traps pushing greater interventionism or abandoning the dollar as the reserve currency. The prevailing hate directed at America, its founders, symbols, belief systems, Judaism, Christianity, and Israel should be condemned. We must maintain constitutional conservatism! President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, made the decision to go to war with Iran and destroy their nuclear regime. Not Benjamin Netanyahu or anyone else. He did. But the Woke Reich neo-fascist isolationists can't accept that. In the past, Democrats and Republicans would have united behind this decision. Now, Democrats and Democratic Socialists on the left and the Woke Reich on the far right are undermining Trump and our troops. We know what the Iranian regime will do if they get their hands on nukes. We know they already fund terror groups all over the world. We know they push their ideology to the young, including right here in America. Right now, in the USA, weak governors allow fortress mosques to be built in our communities. In their hatred of Jews, the Woke Reich are ok with Iran and Putin. The Woke Reich are the modern-day appeasers of Hitler in the 1930s, but they don't have the integrity to admit it. Later, in the 1970s gas prices jumped due to OPEC's boycott of the U.S. over its Israel policies. Back then people blamed the oil companies instead of OPEC. Today the same manufactured hostility targets AI data centers. Governors ban or endlessly delay them with false pollution claims once used against fracking. The real issue is electricity: decades of blue-state regulations and anti-capitalist obstruction have blocked grid upgrades. Critics now complain data centers will consume too much power, yet refuse the solutions—expand the grid and let the centers build their own generation, including nuclear. Adversaries, especially China, face no such constraints and will dominate future technology, military, space, and health-care advances if America continues this economic self-sabotage. Furthermore, one of the dangers of so-called national conservatism, which has a relatively small following, is that it overlaps with the left by de-emphasizing individualism and stressing that each nation-state should simply be what it wishes. This isolationist approach should be rejected. We need to affirm American sovereignty, strong borders, traditional religion and culture, traditional family structures, and opposition to international institutions like the UN in favor of the Constitution. National conservatism's economic protectionism and interventionism skate too close to the left and serve as excuses for isolationism, centralization that erodes federalism, and more government control; the opposite is needed—deregulation, further tax cuts, and shrinking the central government—lest economic collapse destroy civil society, as the COVID-era attacks on liberties in blue states and cities already demonstrated.

    8/20/26 - The Dangers of National Conservatism

    Mark Levin Podcast

    On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, one of the dangers of so-called national conservatism, which has a relatively small following, is that it overlaps with the left by de-emphasizing individualism and stressing that each nation-state should simply be what it wishes. This isolationist approach should be rejected. We need to affirm American sovereignty, strong borders, traditional religion and culture, traditional family structures, and opposition to international institutions like the UN in favor of the Constitution. National conservatism's economic protectionism and interventionism skate too close to the left and serve as excuses for isolationism, centralization that erodes federalism, and more government control; the opposite is needed—deregulation, further tax cuts, and shrinking the central government—lest economic collapse destroy civil society, as the COVID-era attacks on liberties in blue states and cities already demonstrated. Also, Maggie Haberman is a supposed New York Times journalist who is a Trump-hating thug. She's a new journalist who mixes facts, gossip, and fake news. She now suggests that Melania Trump may be upset about President Trump's special assistant Natalie Harp. She's a sleazeball for attacking hardworking women who support the president instead of backing them. Later, there is no truly affordable blue city or blue state in the country for working people and the middle class who keep the nation running—only for welfare recipients or illegal aliens who pay nothing. High sales taxes, gasoline taxes, property taxes, commuter taxes, and various invented fees and user charges fall heavily on those who work and own homes, effectively forcing homeowners to pay a second mortgage to the government after the bank's. Finally, Jon Levine Calls in to discuss his report that Hasan Piker's younger brother Murat is an aerospace engineer who held active security clearances and spent more than a decade at Boeing Defense & Space working on major U.S. military projects. These included the presidential Air Force One (VC-25B), and the E-6B “doomsday plane” designed to maintain nuclear command in wartime. Murat has regularly appeared on his brother's livestreams and at events while Hasan has supported Hamas, praised Hezbollah, and said America “deserved 9/11.” How did he get security clearance?

    The H-1B program is ruining America in more ways than we realize, and it's now crippling our school systems as well. Test scores remain in massive decline, and more teachers are leaving the classroom as the H-1B visa program is draining our incentive to fix the broken K-12 system. Plus, I show how rampant this scheme has gone. Not only are H-1B workers stealing our jobs, they're not even doing them. Often, they're outsourcing their own jobs to even cheaper labor in India. Senate candidates James Talarico (D-Texas) and Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.) are proof that Democrats will do anything to get the black vote. Their new low is groveling at anything to get people to vote for them. A Democratic Socialist of America member perfectly sums up the DSA's positions and admits that the biggest obstacle in taking over America is the Constitution. Meanwhile, another radical socialist argues that no one should be jailed for not following the law ... and that people who steal are only doing it because they really need to steal. Adam Johnson and comedian Davey Jackson join the show. ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Home Title Lock Go to https://hometitlelock.com/sara and use promo code SARA to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of the Triple Lock Protection!
