What happens when an entire industry rushes forward before science can catch up? In this episode of Ocean Science Radio, we sit down with Dr. Andrew Thaler, deep-sea ecologist and CEO of Blackbeard Biologic, to explore his groundbreaking report for the Convention on Migratory Species that reveals exactly how much we don't know about deep-sea mining's impacts on whales, dolphins, sharks, turtles, and other highly migratory species. While most deep-sea mining research has focused on the immediate destruction of seafloor ecosystems, Andrew's report exposes a more troubling reality: we have massive knowledge gaps about how mining operations—with their noise, sediment plumes, and habitat disruption—might affect species that travel thousands of miles across interconnected ocean basins. From sea turtles navigating by magnetic fields to whales relying on acoustic communication, these far-reaching impacts remain largely unstudied even as the industry accelerates toward commercial production. The conversation takes a timely turn as we discuss the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's controversial Request for Information for mining in U.S. waters off the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Andrew breaks down why this represents a significant shift from international deep-sea mining debates, and what it means that communities near the Mariana Trench—with only a 30-day comment period and no guaranteed revenue sharing—are being asked to accept an industry that science hasn't fully evaluated. As the Trump administration pushes to fast-track deep-sea mining for critical minerals while international bodies like the CMS urge precaution, this episode asks the essential question: what's at stake when we mine what we haven't studied? Join us for a conversation that bridges cutting-edge marine science, environmental justice, and the real-world policy decisions happening right now in the deep ocean.

La première intervention terrestre des États-Unis au Venezuela a eu lieu la semaine dernière. Donald Trump l'a révélée dans une interview diffusée à la radio, vendredi 26 décembre. Lundi 29 décembre, il a donné quelques détails : c'est un quai situé sur la côte vénézuélienne, qui servait à des trafiquants de drogue à charger des bateaux, qui a été détruit. CNN et le New York Times affirment que c'est la CIA qui a mené la frappe, sans doute mercredi selon le quotidien. Selon ces médias, une frappe de drone a anéanti une installation portuaire utilisée par le gang Tren de Aragua et a fait aucun mort. Cette opération est avant tout symbolique, explique l'une des sources anonymes citées par CNN, car il y a énormément d'installations portuaires de ce genre au Venezuela. D'ailleurs, l'affaire n'a fait grand bruit dans le pays. Mais pour le New York Times, cette frappe marque « le début d'une phase plus agressive dans la campagne que mène l'administration Trump contre le gouvernement Maduro ». Elle « pourrait accroître considérablement les tensions entre les États-Unis et le président vénézuélien », acquiesce CNN. Comment JD Vance a réussi à convaincre Elon Musk de ne pas créer de parti politique Souvenez-vous, c'était au printemps dernier : la fin de la bromance entre Donald Trump et Elon Musk, les insultes par réseaux sociaux interposés et cette promesse du milliardaire de créer un troisième parti politique qui suscite des inquiétudes au sein du camp MAGA. Le Washington Post raconte comment en coulisses, JD Vance, qui a peur pour les mid-terms, fait tout pour que Musk renonce à son projet. Il demande leur aide aux proches d'Elon Musk, promet de soutenir son candidat à la tête de la Nasa... Et ça marche ! Aujourd'hui, Donald Trump et Elon Musk sont à nouveau en bons termes, écrit le quotidien. Une trêve toutefois fragile, relève encore le journal qui met en garde Donald Trump et JD Vance qui aimerait compter sur Elon Musk pour la présidentielle de 2028 : quand le milliardaire soutient financièrement quelqu'un, il attend beaucoup en retour. Il aime « accaparer l'attention et veut orienter la politique selon sa propre vision du monde », écrit le Washington Post. À lire aussiDonald Trump dit que les États-Unis ont détruit un quai lié, selon lui, au narcotrafic au Venezuela Hausse « historique » du salaire minimum en Colombie En Colombie, la décision du président d'augmenter de plus de 23% le salaire minimum à partir de jeudi 1er janvier, provoque des réactions, pas seulement positives. « C'est un jour de fête pour les travailleurs et les classes populaires », s'est réjoui hier la Centrale unitaire des Travailleurs, rapporte El Tiempo. Les syndicats qui avaient demandé une hausse de 16%, ne s'attendaient pas à une telle augmentation. Mais ce cadeau de Noël passe mal auprès des patrons, prévient El Espectador  qui dans un article, se propose de décrypter « le bon, le mauvais et le laid » de cette décision. « Lo bueno, lo malo y lo feo » en espagnol, un jeu de mots car c'est aussi la traduction du film «  Le bon, la brute et le truand ». Avec cette augmentation bien supérieure à l'inflation, le président espère relancer l'économie, explique le quotidien. Mais attention, préviennent les chefs d'entreprises et des experts, c'est surtout l'inflation et les dépenses publiques qui risquent de s'emballer. La méthode employée par Gustavo Petro fait aussi débat. Le président a pris cette décision tout seul, ce que dénonce l'Association des entrepreneurs de Colombie. Il « a créé le concept de "revenu minimum vital", sans une discussion large, ouverte et démocratique », rapporte El Tiempo. Comme le souligne El Espectador, à quelques mois de la présidentielle, l'opposition y voit « un calcul électoral ».   Haïti : accusations d'une ONG contre la police Gazette Haïti se fait l'écho d'une lettre envoyée par le Réseau national de défense des droits humains (RNDDH) à l'Inspection générale de la police, dans lequel cette ONG dénonce la « connivence » entre des membres des forces de l'ordre et trois gangs dans l'Artibonite. Au moins sept agents « sont accusés d'avoir vendu des munitions et des armes, ainsi que de fournir des informations stratégiques de la Police nationale d'Haïti (PNH) aux groupes criminels lors des opérations policières », de les former et de gérer avec eux des « postes de rançonnement », explique le journal. Des membres des gangs auraient même infiltré les forces de l'ordre déployées dans l'Artibonite. Le Réseau national de défense des droits humains demande une enquête et des sanctions. Comment lutter contre la corruption en Haïti En Haïti, la plateforme Ensemble contre la corruption a présenté sa feuille de route sous l'égide du programme des Nations Unies pour le développement (Pnud). Ce document est le fruit de plusieurs mois de travail avec de nombreux acteurs de la société civile et des représentants d'institutions publiques telles que le ministère de l'Économie et l'Unité de lutte contre la corruption. Cette feuille de route contient une vingtaine de propositions que détaille Edouard Plautre, le secrétaire exécutif d'Ensemble contre la corruption qu'a interrogé Romain Lemaresquier. Du progrès dans la préservation des iguanes des Galapagos L'archipel des Galapagos a beau être isolé dans le Pacifique, à 1000 kilomètres du continent, il n'est pas à l'abri des trafiquants d'espèces protégées. Il a beaucoup été question ces dernières années, de vols de bébés tortues géantes, mais la contrebande touche aussi les iguanes terrestres et marins. Il y a quelques semaines, la vingtième réunion de la Convention sur le commerce international des espèces menacées de faune et flore sauvages (Cites) qui s'est déroulée en Ouzbékistan, a débouché sur une bonne nouvelle pour les défenseurs des iguanes des Galapagos. Ces animaux ont été déplacés de l'appendice 2 à l'appendice 1. Leur commerce est, donc, désormais interdit, sauf pour des fins scientifiques.

Auditions take on a new clarity as John Corella shows how dancers can stay grounded, choose an outfit that supports their presence, rely on their 3 tricks, and move through the journey with steadier confidence.   John talks openly about the pressure dancers feel and the emotional weight parents carry. It raises important questions. What helps someone stay centered in a room full of nerves? How does a dancer build confidence when the result is out of their hands? He explains why courage grows in spaces where dancers can try, fail, and continue without shame. He also breaks down what teachers actually notice, from focus and kindness to an outfit that helps them remember you. His take on improv feels especially helpful. The 3 tricks approach gives dancers something reliable to lean on when the moment feels unpredictable.   Listeners will leave with a clearer sense of the audition journey and the mindset that helps a dancer stay steady through every high and low.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction to Dance and Auditions 03:03 Navigating the Audition Process 05:52 Preparing for Auditions: Tips and Tricks 08:46 The Importance of Presentation and Focus 12:10 Understanding the Audition Environment 15:10 Improv and Showcasing Your Strengths 18:04 Coping with Rejection and Disappointment 20:57 Post-Audition Reflections and Growth 23:50 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Connect with John Corella: Follow Dance Dad with John Corella on Instagram Follow John on Instagram Join Dance Dad with John Corella on Patreon Visit John Corella's website Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Bienvenue dans cet épisode consacré à un thème cardinal de la Justice, une question fondamentale et ce qui apparait à l'évidence comme un dilemme voire une utopie : juger vite, juger bien. C'est également l'un des sujets de grand oral du concours de l'ENM 25. « Le temps est père de vérité », disait François Rabelais. Ainsi, pendant longtemps, l'on a considéré que la lenteur de la justice était une vertu, car elle permettait d'assurer la qualité de la justice. A l'opposé, Montesquieu affirmait qu'« il faut que la Justice soit prompte. Souvent l'injustice n'est pas dans le jugement, elle est dans les délais » (Discours prononcé à la rentrée du Parlement de Bordeaux, in Œuvres complètes, t. 1, Gallimard, Biblio. Pléiade, 1949, p. 47.) Le temps est un élément inséparable du procès civil comme du procès pénal, une donnée objective qui marque le temps de gestation du jugement. La prise en compte du temps par la justice donne lieu aujourd'hui à un véritable droit processuel. Par application de l'article 6§1 de la Convention européenne de sauvegarde des droits et libertés fondamentaux, le justiciable a un droit au déroulement du procès dans un délai raisonnable. Le 15 décembre 2025, la France a été mise en cause devant la Cour européenne des droits de l'Homme pour une procédure de redressement et liquidation judiciaires qui a duré… plus de 28 ans… en 1ère instance. Si une telle situation demeure extraordinaire, on comprend que de manière générale, les exigences processuelles modernes de célérité imposent à l'État de prendre les mesures normatives et matérielles nécessaires à la réalisation de cet objectif, sous peine de sanctions, à la fois internes et européennes. Une bonne administration de la justice suppose que le juge puisse prendre son temps, pour examiner en profondeur le dossier et en apprécier sérieusement toutes les subtilités. Néanmoins, face à une société de l'instantané, de l'immédiat, la justice ne serait ni crédible, ni efficace, sur un plan humain comme sur un plan économique, si la décision mettant fin à la contestation était rendue à l'issue d'une procédure trop longue. Aussi, est-il possible aujourd'hui de « Juger vite et juger bien » ? explorons comment concilier célérité et qualité dans le fonctionnement de la Justice. Pour cela, nous recevons Franck TOURET, enseignant de procédure civile au sein de la prépa ISP.

Maître incontesté du néoclassicisme, Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825) continue deux siècles après sa mort d'impressionner les visiteurs du Louvre par ses toiles magistrales, en particulier l'Enlèvement des Sabines et Léonidas aux Thermopyles. D'abord disciple du peintre de cour François Boucher, il refuse très tôt de servir une académie qu'il juge empesée, pour s'engager dans des compositions radicales. Républicain intransigeant, il esquisse le Serment du Jeu de Paume et prononce des discours enflammés à la tribune. Après avoir été élu président à la Convention au début de l'année 1794, il parvient à échapper à l'échafaud en Thermidor et se voit enfermé à deux reprises. Sa rencontre avec Bonaparte au cours de la campagne d'Italie l'engage à servir le nouvel homme fort, pour lequel il réalise ses plus grands chefs-d'oeuvre - Passage du Grand Saint-Bernard, Sacre de Napoléon, Distribution des Aigles -, accompagnés d'une importante série de portraits officiels. Contemporain d'Olympe de Gouges ou du chimiste Berthollet, aîné de vingt et un ans de Napoléon, David aura marqué le tournant du siècle. La fin de sa vie, en exil à Bruxelles, n'aura pas altéré son prestige auprès d'une génération de disciples qui prolongeront son enseignement avec conviction.David Chanteranne est notre invité en studio pour les Interviews HistoireHébergé par Audiomeans.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas... with Denim-wrapped Nightmares, In Defense of Fandom, and two guys talking about their musical journey!In this first installment of the Supernatural Music Extravaganza's Artist on Artist series (aka "SPNception"), Rob Benedict and Jason Manns unwrap the gift that keeps on giving: their unlikely musical empire built on the back of a TV show about two guys with shotguns. Consider this your Christmas present from the Supernatural music family!Jason reflects on those early convention days when he'd perform for crowds wondering "Who's the big guy?" (spoiler: he wasn't on the show), while Rob reminisces about Louden Swain playing to literally one person at 12:30 AM. They share stories about that pivotal 2011 European tour that almost didn't happen because ticket sales were... let's say "intimate," and how Saturday Night Special evolved from a disjointed variety show featuring Misha's dog tricks to the concert experience it is today.The duo discusses their journey from LA bars where friends were too busy catching up to actually listen, to convention stages where you could hear a pin drop during ballads. They bond over the shared experience of finally being able to call themselves musicians without feeling like imposters, the terror of that first fan convention (spoiler: the fans are VERY forgiving), and their continued shock that 20 years later, 60% of convention audiences are still brand new fans.Plus: How Jason met Jensen at a Christmas party (yes, really—the holiday spirit was strong even back then!), why Rob's mom thinks Jason is Jason Mraz, and dreams of a Supernatural music festival featuring approximately 45 bands with only six actual people.Catchup on Supernatural Music Extravaganza episodes and find playlists at https://linktr.ee/SPN20Follow Denim-wrapped Nightmares (if you're not already) and turn on notifications for new episodes.

Recorded live in Boston, Bart sits down with Milt Herbert, Executive Director of the Boston Convention & Marketing Center, for a masterclass in leadership, discipline, and humanity. Milt shares his unconventional journey — from flunking out of college, to serving in combat, to becoming a professor, technologist, entrepreneur, and ultimately a long-tenured executive leader. With humility and clarity, Milt explains how military discipline reshaped his life, why treating people like people is the foundation of leadership, and how focusing on customers as humans — not transactions — creates lasting success. This conversation is packed with wisdom on work ethic, family, learning, customer experience, and what most leaders still get wrong.Major Takeaways / LearningsDiscipline can change everything. Milt credits military service with reshaping his mindset, work ethic, and focus.Early failure doesn't define your ceiling. Flunking out of college didn't stop him from earning an MBA, teaching, and entering a PhD program.Leadership is about people, not roles. Employees have full lives outside work — great leaders respect and support that reality.Integration beats balance. Milt prioritized family, coaching his kids' teams and staying present while building a demanding career.Be a lifelong learner. From coding to tennis to leadership, curiosity and self‑teaching fueled every chapter of his life.Customers are humans first. The best way to serve customers is to understand their goals, pressures, and definitions of success.Listening is a leadership superpower. Ask questions, stay quiet, and truly hear people — that's how trust is built.Strong teams feel like family. When people feel cared for, respected, and seen, they stay — and they perform.Memorable Quotes“People don't show up for work — work isn't their whole life.”“You keep your mouth shut, you listen, and you ask questions.”“Customers have jobs to do — our job is to help them succeed.”“It's always about the people. It's never just about the business.”“I'm only one person — it's the team that makes everything happen.”“Family first isn't a slogan. It's a responsibility.”Why It Matters / How to Use ItThis episode is a blueprint for leaders who want to build trust, loyalty, and performance without sacrificing humanity. Milt Herbert's story proves that discipline, empathy, and curiosity can coexist — and that the strongest organizations are built by leaders who listen, care, and understand people beyond their titles. Whether you lead a team, serve customers, raise a family, or are still finding your path, this conversation offers timeless lessons on how to show up, how to lead, and why people first is not optional — it's essential.

Police Publish and Quickly Delete Photos of Rob Reiner's Son Being Cuffed for Slaughtering Parents, Give No Explanation Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of liberal activist and famed director Rob Reiner, has been arrested and charged with the brutal murder of his parents. The LAPD Gang and Narcotics Division published dramatic photos of Nick's handcuffed arrest on Instagram on Monday, but quickly deleted them without explanation. Rob Reiner, 78, known for classics like The Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, and When Harry Met Sally, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home on Sunday afternoon. The New York Post reports: Nick Reiner, whose face is blurred out, is seen being forced to the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, according to one photo. Another snap showed law enforcement pushing the suspect against the front of a squad car. In the caption, the unit only identified the man as “a double homicide suspect.” The arrest was made by US Marshals with the assistance of the LAPD's robbery homicide division, according to the post. An LAPD spokesperson declined to comment when asked why the force's gang and narcotics unit deleted the arrest photo shortly after it was published. The since-deleted photos: Nick, who has long battled severe drug addiction starting in his teens, co-wrote and starred in the 2016 semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, directed by his father, which chronicled a young man's struggles with substance abuse and rehab. Insiders report that Nick “really resented” his father and “hated himself for not being as successful,” amid ongoing family tensions. The night before the murders, Rob and Nick reportedly got into a “very loud argument” at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, loud enough for other guests to notice.

TAKE A LISTEN https://twitter.com/RealSLokhova/status/2000919590449394156?s=20 Real Texas Conservative  The tragic deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele on December 14, 2025, have cast a somber shadow over Hollywood, prompting reflections on legacy, loss, and the lingering scars of political division. In response, President Donald Trump’s Truth Social post on December 15, 2025 – framing their passing through the lens of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) – has ignited controversy. Yet, when examined against the backdrop of Reiner’s decade-long barrage of vitriolic rhetoric against Trump, the statement emerges not as callous, but as an appropriate blend of pointed satire, genuine sympathy, and a timely concern for mental health. This piece builds an ironclad case for its fittingness, rooted in factual history, psychological insight, and legal precedent. To understand the appropriateness of Trump’s words, one must first confront the unyielding hostility Reiner directed at him since 2015. Reiner, celebrated for directing classics like “This Is Spinal Tap” and “The Princess Bride,” transformed into one of Trump’s most vocal detractors after his presidential candidacy. In a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Reiner labeled Trump a “con man” and “dangerous,” warning he would erode democratic norms. This escalated over the years. By 2018, Reiner tweeted comparisons of Trump to Hitler, accusing him of fostering fascism and white supremacy. His 2024 documentary “God & Country” explicitly tied Trump’s influence to Christian nationalism, portraying it as a threat to American democracy. Reiner’s social media feed became a relentless stream of attacks, calling Trump a “pathological liar,” “sociopath,” and “existential danger” in posts that amassed millions of views. Even in 2025, shortly before his death, Reiner urged boycotts of Trump-related events, framing his re-election as apocalyptic. These were not isolated jabs but a sustained campaign, often personal and inflammatory, that Reiner himself admitted stemmed from deep-seated outrage. This history of antagonism, predominantly initiated by Reiner, sets the stage for why Trump’s response is not only defensible but proportionate. Far from escalating the feud posthumously, Trump’s post acknowledges Reiner’s talents – “a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star” – while attributing the tragedy to TDS, a “mind-crippling disease” fueled by “raging obsession.” This framing isn’t baseless invention; it’s grounded in credible psychological analysis. Critics have questioned the timing of Trump’s post, issued just a day after the tragedy, as potentially too raw or opportunistic. However, this immediacy is precisely what makes it authentic and effective, aligning with Trump’s longstanding style of direct, unfiltered leadership in a 24/7 news cycle where narratives solidify within hours. Historical precedents abound; consider how President Lincoln addressed critics’ deaths or political losses with prompt wit during the Civil War, using fresh moments to foster national introspection and prevent distorted legacies. Similarly, Trump’s swift response cuts through emerging media spin – already framing Reiner solely as a heroic anti-Trump voice – by injecting balance and psychological truth right when public discourse peaks. Delaying would risk seeming calculated or detached, whereas this timing underscores sincerity, especially paired with the post’s sympathetic close. In essence, it’s not haste but strategic candor, transforming grief into a teachable moment on division’s dangers before emotions calcify. Transitioning from personal history to broader insight, TDS has been recognized by mental health experts as a manifestation of intense political polarization leading to real psychological strain. Psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, in analyses shared on platforms like the Mark Simone Show, described TDS as rooted in “mass hysteria,” where individuals project anxieties onto a political figure, resulting in paranoia, chronic stress, and potential health declines. Research in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology supports this, linking partisan hatred to elevated cortisol levels, anxiety disorders, and weakened well-being. Trump’s reference to TDS isn’t mockery; it’s a diagnostic observation, highlighting how Reiner’s fixation – evident in his own words – might have contributed to personal tolls, especially amid reports of familial strife surrounding the deaths. By raising this, Trump shifts the narrative from vendetta to vigilance, urging awareness of how ideological obsessions erode lives. Moreover, the post’s satirical edge aligns with a storied tradition of political commentary, making it intellectually apt rather than insensitive. Trump employs hyperbole – “driving people CRAZY” amid America’s “Golden Age” – to underscore the irony of Reiner’s paranoia against tangible achievements like record economic growth, Middle East peace accords, and energy independence during his administration. This mirrors Jonathan Swift’s exaggerated proposals in “A Modest Proposal” or Abraham Lincoln’s witty rebukes of critics, using humor to expose societal flaws without literal malice. Legally, such expression is shielded by the First Amendment; the Supreme Court’s ruling in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell affirms that satirical opinions about public figures, absent provable falsehoods, are protected speech. Trump’s “reportedly due to” phrasing acknowledges speculation, ensuring it remains opinion, not defamation. What elevates the statement to appropriateness is its undercurrent of grace amid past unkindnesses, including Trump’s rare direct engagement with Reiner pre-tragedy despite the instigations. The post concludes with “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” This isn’t perfunctory; it’s a sincere extension of sympathy, humanizing both parties and transcending the feud while modeling reciprocity in an era of unrelenting acrimony. Trump’s words match rhetoric’s intensity yet cap it with compassion and a mental health caveat, turning potential gloating into a nudge toward understanding division’s toll. In conclusion, Trump’s response is ironclad in its fittingness because it reciprocates a decade of Reiner’s attacks with measured satire, validates psychological realities, and prioritizes sympathy over score-settling. It doesn’t diminish the tragedy but illuminates division’s costs, encouraging reflection.

Sadly, past experience, teaches us that the most likely reason for the lack of transparency is that the answers are not going to support the left-wing agenda of the local Rhode Island Democrats. I could be wrong. But if I was wrong, I have a nagging suspicion. I would've had answers to those questions already. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of this man. Trump blames Brown, not FBI, for delay in finding shooting suspect President Trump blamed Brown University for the delay in locating the suspect in the fatal mass shooting on the school's campus in Rhode Island on Saturday. “You'd really have to ask the school a little bit more about that because this was a school problem,” Trump said when asked on Monday if FBI Director Kash Patel has told him why it's been difficult for the FBI to identify the suspected shooter. “They had their own guards. They had their own police. They had their own everything, but you'd have to ask that question really to the school, not to the FBI.

Q British Intelligence Head Says Prepare for War Against Russia  The newly appointed head of MI6, Blaise Metreweli, formerly known by her position as “Q”, is literally the granddaughter of factual Ukraine Nazi, Constantine Dobrowolski.  Now, as head of MI6 Metreweli wants war with Russia. In a rather remarkable speech to the British people, Blaise Metreweli proclaimed Europe is in “the space between peace and war,” with a direct military conflict with Russia looming as the biggest threat.  Metreweli declared, “Our world is being actively remade, with profound implications for national and international security.” Source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2000898313579561365?s=20 https://twitter.com/MarioNawfal/status/2000896186413441184?s=20   have already been filed.

We must make Russia accept that there are rules in the world.” Mechanism: Register of Damage (created 2023): collects claims from individuals, companies, and the Ukrainian state. Claims Commission: reviews, validates, and awards compensation case-by-case. Categories: sexual violence, child deportations, infrastructure destruction, religious sites bombed. Funding plan: Frozen Russian assets held by the EU, supplemented by member contributions. Dutch FM David van Weel: “The goal is to have validated claims that will ultimately be paid by Russia.” Enforcement? Still being worked out. Complication: Trump's team floated amnesty for war crimes as part of a peace deal – makes prosecuting the very individuals being billed impossible. Next steps: Convention takes force after 25 nations ratify it (if funds secured). Russia calls frozen-assets proposal “illegal,” denies war crimes, threatens retaliation. Reality check: This is post-WWII-style reparations applied to an ongoing conflict. The $524B estimate covers through 2024 only – 2025's escalated attacks on utilities, transport, and civilians already make the number outdated. https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2000626884145754206?s=20   breaking out.

Still, some lawmakers seek to amend the bill further, which would then require House passage before landing on the President's desk. Burchett: Big vote tonight was the NDAA, National Defense Authorization Act, and it was $900.6 billion. There’s money in there for, of course, Ukraine, $800 million total, and some other things, money in there for recognizing an Indian tribe out of North Carolina— has nothing to do with national security— Syria, money, Iraq. But we just got to quit this stuff. Somebody's, America’s got to start paying attention. Trump didn’t even ask for that. You’ve got the war pimps that push for this stuff. And they always will tell you, Oh, it’s, “Burchett, man, they’re gonna spend all that money here buying those missiles.” You know, is that what we’re basing our votes on is they’re going to buy implements to kill other people on? I’m all for getting rid of our enemies, but this is just too much, way too much, and things are just not what they appear. We need to wake up. I voted no. Over 100 Democrats voted to pass this. That ought to tell you right there what this is about. Got some liberal stuff tucked in there, and it’s over 3000 pages. We get it on Sunday, and we’re voting on it today. There’s no way, no way, we will ever know what was in there, and just— anyway, frustrated, we’ll keep fighting. Thank y’all for sending me here.

Under the plan expected to be presented to Secretary Hegseth this week: U.S. Central Command, European Command, and Africa Command would be downgraded and placed under a new “U.S. International Command.” U.S. Southern Command and Northern Command would merge into “U.S. Americas Command” (Americom), reflecting the administration’s shift toward Western Hemisphere operations. The remaining commands: Indo-Pacific, Cyber, Special Operations, Space, Strategic, and Transportation. A senior defense official on the urgency: “Time ain’t on our side, man. The saying here is, ‘If not us, who, and if not now, when?'” The plan aligns with Trump’s national security strategy declaring that “the days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over.” Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel expressed concern: “The world isn’t getting any less complicated. You want commands that have the capability of heading off problems before they become big problems.” Congress has required the Pentagon to submit a detailed blueprint before any changes can take effect.

The cartels have gone unchecked for decades, while they murder millions of Americans and commit heinous crimes against humanity. Trump confirms that designating the cartels as a foreign terrorist organizations “is a big deal from a legal and military standpoint”. Trump is going to use the full force of the US MIL to shut this entire corrupt network down. The Dems/MSM, and the weaklings on the Right, are going to squeal and moan the entire way, but this must be done. Trump is going to neutralize this threat to the American People and do what past Presidents failed to do.

Her late father served as a colonel in the Somali army under dictator Siad Barre, whose regime carried out mass killings in the 1980s. That makes her backstory more complicated than she lets on. A resurfaced video shows a man resembling Omar's father discussing brutal tactics. There's no proof he committed war crimes, but some say he was close enough to know what was happening. Photos also show Omar's siblings with General Morgan – known as the “Butcher of Hargeisa” – and Omar herself at a 2022 event where Morgan was present. One relative even referred to him as “uncle.” Omar hasn't commented on the new findings, and her silence has led some to question how she can call for accountability abroad without addressing her own family's history. https://twitter.com/JamesRosenTV/status/2000723473182965780?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2000723473182965780%7Ctwgr%5Eb493e83212e9c33013500c56069b3622c19b2e21%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Frusty-weiss%2F2025%2F12%2F16%2Fice-officials-rip-ilhan-omar-over-ridiculous-story-about-her-son-being-racially-profiled-n2197175 https://twitter.com/thestoicplumber/status/2000748048683815183?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2000742064959455252?s=20 U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro: D.C.

The need for accurate information to fight crime is essential. After a review of almost 6000 reports and the interview of over 50 witnesses, it is evident that a significant number of reports had been misclassified, making crime appear artificially lower than it was. The uncovering of these manipulated crime statistics makes clear that President Trump has reduced crime even more than originally thought, since crimes were actually higher than reported. His crime fighting efforts have delivered even more safety to the people of the District. The conduct here does not rise to the level of a criminal charge. However, it is up to MPD to take steps to internally address these underlying issues.

JD Vance Points Out the Consequence of the Senate “Blue Slip” Veto of Judicial Nominees It was passed by Congress on May 13, 1912, and ratified on April 8, 1913 The 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution grants Congress the authority to impose and collect income taxes without the need to apportion them among the states or base them on census data. constitution.congress.gov It was passed by Congress on July 2, 1909, and ratified on February 3, 1913. all of this is an outcome of the 17th Amendment, which stopped the state legislatures from having control over their senators.  Under the original constitutional framework, the Senate was designed to represent the interests of the state, as the Senators were appointed by state legislature, not popular votes.  The Sea Island assembly destroyed this cornerstone when they triggered the 17th Amendment. Repeal the 17th Amendment, and just about everything in federal government changes. Machiavelli said, “It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”  A prescient and oft repeated quote that is pertinent to the situation. When our founders created the system of government for our constitutional republic, they built in layers of protection from federal control over the lives of people in the states.  Over time, those protections have been eroded as the federal bureaucracy has seized power.  One of the biggest changes that led to the creation of the permanent political class was the 17th Amendment. Our founders created a system where Senators were appointed by the state legislatures.  In this original system, the Senate was bound by obligation to look out for the best interests of their specific states.  Under the ‘advise and consent‘ rules of Senate confirmation for executive branch appointments, the intent was to ensure the presidential appointee -who would now carry out regulatory activity- would not undermine the independent position of the states.  .When the 17th Amendment (direct voting for Senators) took the place of state appointments, the perspective of ‘advise and consent' changed.  The Senate was now in the position of ensuring the presidential appointee did not undermine the power of the permanent bureaucracy, which is the root of power for the upper-chamber. Senate committees, Homeland Security, Judiciary, Intelligence, Armed Services, Foreign Relations, etc. now consists of members who carry an imbalanced level of power within government.  The Senate now controls who will be in charge of executive branch agencies like the DOJ, DHS, FBI, CIA, ODNI, DoD, State Dept and NSA, from the position of their own power and control in Washington DC. In essence, the 17th Amendment flipped the intent of the constitution from protecting the individual states to protecting the federal government. Seventeenth Amendment- “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures. When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.” (link)   The biggest issue following the passage of the 17th Amendment became Senators who were no longer representing the interests of their state.  Instead, they were representing the interests of the power elite groups who were helping them fund the mechanisms of their re-election efforts. A Senator only needs to run for re-election every six years.  The 17th Amendment is the only amendment that changed the structure of the Congress, as it was written by the founders. Over time, the Senate chamber itself began using their advice and consent authority to control the executive and judicial branch.  The origination of a nomination now holds the question: “Can this person pass the Senate confirmation process?” source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/j3669/status/2000683161273897213?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2000952036238746070?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2000671858417422538?s=20   is going to save the GOP, AGAIN.

The 2025 International Mars Society Convention convened at the University of Southern California this October for three days of passionate discussion about humanity’s future on the red planet. Speakers explored science, policy, technology, AI, synthetic biology, and the long-term path toward becoming a multi-planet species. In this episode, Mat Kaplan, senior communications adviser at The Planetary Society, shares his conversations with speakers and guests at the Convention. We hear from Robert Zubrin, founder of The Mars Society, who delivered a fiery call to protect NASA’s science programs in the face of unprecedented budget cuts. Humphrey “Hoppy” Price, Chief Engineer for NASA’s Robotic Mars Exploration Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, updates us on the future of Mars Sample Return and new mission architectures. Keynote speaker Dex Hunter-Torricke, a longtime communications leader for SpaceX, Meta, and other major tech organizations, reflects on AI’s promise and peril, and why Mars remains a beacon of hope for humanity’s future. Biologist and technologist Tiffany Vora, vice president for innovation partnerships at Explore Mars, and Erika DeBenedictis, biologist and founder of Pioneer Labs, reveal breakthroughs in synthetic biology and engineered microbes that could help future Martians survive. Steve Benner, chemist and founder of the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution (FfAME), revisits the Viking lander experiments and makes a provocative case that we may have found Martian life nearly 50 years ago. Architect Melodie Yashar, CEO of AENARA and a pioneer in 3D-printed habitat research, shares progress in additive construction on Earth and Mars. James Burk, executive director of The Mars Society, discusses advocacy, analog research stations, and the organization’s expanding international footprint. Finally, we meet Sasha, a 13-year-old presenter whose enthusiasm offers a bright glimpse of the next generation of explorers. We wrap up the show with What’s Up with Bruce Betts, chief scientist at The Planetary Society, with a discussion of perchlorates in the Martian soil.
