Residents of Kilkee say they've been left enormously disappointed following the High Court's decision to quash a judicial review aiming to block controversial plans for a wastewater treatment plant. The Save Kilkee Cliff Walk Campaign had raised over €100,000 to take legal action against Uisce Éireann's plans to build a sewerage treatment plant in close proximity to Kilkee Cliff Walk. Reaching a decision in the High Court on Sunday, Judge Richard Humphreys said overturning the plans "would be disproportionate". Campaign Spokesperson Joanne Dillon has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan they've been left deflated by the decision but are not giving up.

The U.S. Virgin Islands' battle against Jeffrey Epstein's estate was contentious from the beginning because it was not just a fight over money; it was a fight over accountability, secrecy, and control of Epstein's remaining assets. After Epstein's death, the territory accused his estate, companies, and representatives of helping preserve the infrastructure that allowed him to abuse and traffic girls and young women on Little St. James and Great St. James. The USVI sought to freeze assets, claw back profits, obtain records, and force the estate to answer for how Epstein used the islands as a base of operations. The estate, meanwhile, pushed back by arguing that the government was overreaching, that many claims should be handled through the victim compensation process, and that continued litigation would drain resources that could otherwise go to claimants.The fight became even more heated because the USVI was also under scrutiny for its own failures and contradictions. Epstein had received generous tax benefits and operated openly in the territory for years, which raised obvious questions about what local officials knew, ignored, or allowed. Still, then-Attorney General Denise George pressed aggressively, eventually reaching a settlement worth more than $105 million, plus half the proceeds from the sale of Little St. James and additional money for environmental remediation. That settlement was significant, but it did not erase the larger tension: the USVI was trying to hold Epstein's estate accountable while also answering for how Epstein was able to build, fund, and protect so much of his operation in the territory in the first place.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Contentious Citizenship: Salvadoran Activism and Belonging Across Borders (U Arizona Press, 2026) reshapes how we understand belonging, identity, and political participation in the context of migration. Drawing on decades of Salvadoran activism from the 1980s solidarity movement to the post–civil war era, Arely M. Zimmerman offers a powerful ethnographic account of how migrants challenge exclusionary state practices and redefine citizenship on their own terms using transnational networks and revolutionary politics that transcend borders.Drawing on nearly fifty interviews with activists who fled El Salvador, Zimmerman traces how political refugees carried with them strategies of resistance and community organizing that shaped social justice movements in the United States. The book addresses the political turmoil and grassroots mobilizations in El Salvador, the sanctuary movement of the 1980s, contemporary activism, and the impact of women's strategies and forms of resistance.Essential reading for scholars and students of migration, Central American studies, and political movements, Contentious Citizenship is a bold intervention into contemporary debates on identity, legality, and resistance. Zimmerman's work honors the ingenuity and resilience of Salvadoran activists and invites readers to consider what it means to belong. This interview was conducted by Mary Reynolds, publicity manager for the University of Arizona Press.

Eric and Guy delve into Article 1 - The Declaration of Rights of the Michigan Constitution, as part of a series of podcasts looking at each element of the current state constitution before Michigan voters are asked this November whether to approve a Constitutional Convention (Con-Con). The Declaration of Rights, analyzed in a recently published paper by the Research Council, outlines the key individual freedoms that government actions cannot violate. The paper explains how the Declaration of Rights is incorporated into the Constitution and explores potential issues that could arise if a convention is convened. Guy and Eric discuss why Article I is both foundational and highly contentious. Michiganders view constitutional rights as sacred, but the debate has intensified because Article I now includes rights—such as same-sex marriage, reproductive freedom, and affirmative action—that were not universally accepted when originally adopted and remain controversial today. They touch on several hot-button issues in Article I, issues that would likely take center stage if there were a Con-Con, such as gun rights, same-sex marriage, affirmative action, and reproductive freedoms. They both agree that while there are practical reasons to modernize and clarify the document, altering fundamental rights involves significant risk. Concerns about unintended consequences in amending Article I might lead voters to reject a convention outright.

Proverbs 21:9–10 exposes how inner desires shape outer misery. It is better to live alone in the corner of a roof than to share a house filled with constant strife, for the contentious spirit poisons every space it inhabits. The wicked soul does not merely stumble into evil—it craves it and shows no mercy to its neighbor. In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine how unchecked desire breeds conflict, why peace is worth more than comfort, and how the heart's appetite ultimately determines the quality of life and relationships.

It is telling and troubling that the annual climate talking-shop's outcome did not even mention fossil fuels. We ask whether the COP process is still fit for purpose. Cryptocurrencies could be heading for an almighty fall: what would they take down with them? And the revealing vowels and diphthongs of whale communications.
