Episode 5533: Grassroots Take Over One Of The Largest Counties In Pennsylvania

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. During the Personal Rule, Charles expanded the "Ship Money" tax to inland counties, leading to a landmark legal battle over the King's right to declare emergencies without Parliament. Religious tensions peaked as Archbishop William Laud imposed high-church practices, which many saw as a "popish plot." After failing to force a new prayer book on Scotland, Charles was compelled to recall Parliament, which then executed his minister Strafford. The crisis culminated in Charles's failed attempt to arrest five MPs inside the House of Commons, forcing him to flee London to gather an army for the coming Civil War. (4)1650

Cattle Industry News JBS USA has announced plans to close two facilities as part of an effort to improve efficiency and focus on future growth. The company will shut down its beef production plant in Pennsylvania, and its value-added processing facility in Memphis, Tennessee. JBS says the move is part of a larger strategy to modernize operations, improve efficiency, and expand production of value-added food products. The company says production from the two facilities will be shifted to other JBS operations, and customers should not see any disruption in supply.  The announcement comes after JBS invested in facilities in Texas, Georgia, and Iowa to expand  prepared foods production, modernize plants, and improve efficiency. Earlier this year, the company also combined its beef and case-ready businesses to create a more streamlined operation. The JBS CEO says JBS continues to invest heavily in the United States and the future of food production, while making sure its operations remain competitive and efficient. The company says consumer demand for protein remains strong and believes these changes will help position JBS for long-term growth. Last fall, Tyson Foods permanently closed its beef processing facility in Lexington, Nebraska, eliminating approximately 3,200 jobs and removing nearly 5% of total U.S. beef slaughter capacity. More recently, labor disputes have emerged at several major processing facilities. Approximately 1,700 workers at Cargill's beef processing plant in Fort Morgan, Colorado, were locked out after contract negotiations between the company and union representatives failed to produce a ratified agreement. The Fort Morgan facility accounts for nearly 5% of total U.S. beef production. JBS also faced labor challenges earlier this year when nearly 4,000 workers at its Greeley, Colorado, beef plant participated in a strike before ultimately approving a new labor contract.   REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/jbs-to-close-beef-plant-value-added-facility/?utm_source=omeda&utm_medium=email&utm_cid=1103020073&utm_campaign=MTGMCD260614015&utm_date=20260615-0300   https://www.northernag.net/jbs-announces-closure-of-beef-production-plant-and-value-added-facility/ New World Screwworm Update Here's the latest on New World Screwworm.  As of Monday, June 15th, the total number of domestic cases is now at 12, 11 are considered active and 1 inactive with 0 active wildlife and feral cases.  Counties in Texas include Sutton, an inactive case discovered in a sheep.  Edwards county with cases discovered in cattle and goats.  Tom Green County, a case in cattle.  Zavala County, cases in cattle.  Gillespie (guh-LES-pee) County, a case in goats.  And La Salle County, cases in cattle.  In New Mexico, Lea County had that case in a dog.  Livestock and pet owners, wildlife game farms, producers, land users, remember to check stock often for open wounds and lethargic animals.  Report anything unusual and head to screwworm.gov for the latest confirmation maps, current status, treatment and U.S. readiness plans. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the USDA is closely monitoring the New World screwworm situation and what it could mean for the current ban on live cattle imports from Mexico. Speaking at a press conference in Texas, Rollins was asked whether the U.S. could reopen the border to Mexican cattle imports now that New World screwworm has been detected in Texas. Rollins responded that the issue is "not lost on me" and that USDA will continue to watch the data very closely. The comments come after USDA confirmed several New World screwworm cases in Texas, including cases found in cattle, sheep, goats and a dog. Federal officials say surveillance, quarantines, treatment efforts, and sterile fly releases are being used to contain and eliminate the pest. The U.S. suspended imports of live cattle, horses, and bison from Mexico in May of 2025 because of the northward spread of New World screwworm in Mexico. Before the border closure, the United States imported about 1.25 million head of cattle from Mexico each year, most of them feeder cattle headed to U.S. feedlots. Some livestock industry groups have questioned whether the ban remains effective, noting that  screwworm can spread through wildlife, pets, and other animals—not just cattle. Producers and feedlot operators have also said the closure has tightened cattle supplies and increased costs. Rollins did not provide any timeline for reopening the border but said USDA will continue evaluating the situation. Meanwhile, USDA's eradication efforts include expanded trapping programs, movement controls, and the release of sterile flies from facilities in Texas, Mexico, and Panama.

Through the first four months of 2026, U.S. beef exports totaled just over 365,000 metric tons, down 11 percent from a year ago. Export value fell 7 percent to $3.13 billion, as tight cattle supplies and record-high global beef prices continue to impact trade. There is some positive news. Following a summit between President Trump and the Chinese President, China renewed export licenses for most U.S. beef plants in May. The U.S. beef industry had been largely shut out of China since March of 2025 during the early stages of the trade dispute. However, industry leaders say it remains unclear how quickly beef shipments to China will recover. Additional trade barriers still need to be resolved before exports can fully rebound. U.S. Meat Export Federation President Dan Halstrom says the renewed plant registrations are encouraging, but more obstacles must be addressed before U.S. beef regains its position in the Chinese market. Outside of China, demand for U.S. beef remains steady. Export volume to the rest of the world is roughly unchanged from a year ago, while export value is up 7 percent. Major buyers including South Korea, Japan, and Canada have purchased less U.S. beef this year. Mexico, however, continues to be a strong customer, with purchases holding steady and demand for variety meats increasing. Several markets are showing strong growth, including Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, Peru, Colombia, and Guatemala. Halstrom says global demand for U.S. beef remains resilient despite high prices and limited supplies. He notes challenges remain, including weak foreign currencies and higher energy costs that are affecting consumer spending in many countries.

Everything we think we know about women and power in the medieval world is missing a few key details. Like the fact that there were exactly two female sheriffs in medieval England, and that their lives were directly tangled together in the most dramatic way possible. Nicholaa de la Haye held Lincoln Castle through multiple sieges, was appointed Sheriff of Lincolnshire by King John in one of his final acts, and helped turn the tide of a French invasion in 1217, all while in her sixties. A French chronicler called her "a very cunning, bad-hearted and vigorous old woman." She won anyway. Ela of Salisbury inherited one of the greatest titles in England at age nine, used a clause from Magna Carta to refuse remarriage, paid the king to serve as Sheriff of Wiltshire, showed up at the exchequer in person to do the job, and eventually founded Lacock Abbey before becoming its Abbess. Oh, and their husbands knew each other. Ela's husband is literally the man who tried to steal Nicholaa's castle. The history of women doing so-called men's work is not a modern story. It's just a story we haven't been told loudly enough. Katherine Fenkyll episode I linked to at the end: https://youtu.be/QggqaYpPbe4 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Clare is one of only four counties in Ireland where there are fewer learner drivers on the roads than a year ago. Figures released by the Road Safety Authority to the Irish Road Haulage Association show there were 7,531 learner permit holders in this county at the end of March, down from 7,659 during the same period in 2025. Nationally, however, more than one in ten drivers are on a learner permit, with 6,219 more learner drivers on Irish roads compared to a year ago. Clare-based former IRHA president and Ennis haulier, Eugene Drennan, has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons while Clare is going "in the right direction", the RSA is "too big" to tackle the problem at a national level.

Running a business in Ireland is expensive. Energy bills are one of the biggest overheads for businesses across the country, and the building you operate from has more impact on those bills than most business owners realise. New research from Procure.ie analysed at 80,526 non-domestic building energy ratings (BER) published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), which measures the energy performance of commercial and public buildings such as offices and warehouses across Ireland between 2009 and 2025, to find out which counties are leading the way. Counties were then ranked by how many of their buildings achieved an A rating, the highest score a building can get. Kildare came out on top by a landslide, with 7% of its buildings (235 out of 3,355) rated A. That's almost double the national average of 3.6%. The county has become a hub for modern, energy-efficient commercial development, with planners recently approving a €3 billion data-centre campus by Herbata at Naas, and Kildare's pharma and semiconductor sites being built to high standards. Three counties share second place, each with 5% of their commercial buildings A-rated. County Dublin leads the trio with 296 out of 5,915 buildings achieving an A rating. Meath follows with 134 out of 2,672 buildings A-rated. The new 21,000 sq ft Thrive Centre of Business Excellence opened in September 2025, offering dedicated climate action services and adding to the county's growing reputation for energy-smart business. Westmeath completes the joint second-place trio, also at 5% (84 out of 1,684 buildings). In September 2025, Westmeath County Council signed contracts to upgrade its three biggest buildings (Áras an Chontae in Mullingar, the Civic Centre in Athlone, and Athlone Regional Sports Centre) to high energy-efficiency standards. Ballymore Group has also announced plans for a new sustainable town in Athlone, designed for 100,000 residents by 2040, with 90% of its energy coming from renewables. Longford (4.1%) and Laois (4%) rank in third and fourth place respectively, showing that even smaller counties can make a massive impact. Longford County Council received €793,822 from the EU Just Transition Fund to develop the Longford Enterprise and Energy Centre, and Laois County Council recently signed a multi-million-euro funding agreement with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to retrofit buildings across the Midlands. The Rebel County rounds out the top five, with 291 out of 7,263 commercial buildings achieving an A rating. Cork has more commercial buildings in this dataset than any county outside Dublin, and it is one of Ireland's biggest business counties for a reason. Pharma, tech, and manufacturing companies have all planted roots there. At the other end of the list, Limerick City has the highest proportion of G-rated commercial buildings in the country at 17%, making it the worst-performing county in Ireland. Kilkenny and Sligo are not far behind at 16%, with Louth and Monaghan following at 14%. A lot of this comes down to older heritage buildings and ageing warehouses along the Dublin-Belfast route.

Kieran Read is one of the greatest All Blacks of the professional era. A two-time Rugby World Cup winner, four-time Super Rugby champion and former All Blacks captain, Kieran built a career defined by consistency, leadership and an incredible work ethic.From a typical Kiwi childhood in Papakura, to representing Counties in both rugby and cricket, Kieran's path to the top wasn't as straightforward as many would think. He wasn't a player who came through every representative system, and by his own admission was a shy kid who often kept to himself. Yet through hard work, resilience and a constant desire to improve, he became one of the most respected leaders New Zealand rugby has ever produced.Some parts that stood out for me in this episode were…* Why cricket was arguably his best sport growing up and how close he came to pursuing it professionally* The moment rugby went from being something he loved to something he wanted to chase seriously* Making New Zealand Secondary Schools despite not being part of the traditional rugby pathway* Playing 49 consecutive games at the start of his Crusaders career* Becoming Canterbury captain at just 22 years old* His memories of winning Rugby World Cups in 2011 and 2015* Taking over from Richie McCaw as All Blacks captain and learning to lead in his own way* The sacrifices that come with professional rugby and being away from family for long periods* The leadership lessons he's taken from rugby into business and life after retirementKieran is one of those rare people whose achievements speak for themselves, yet remains incredibly humble. This episode is packed with stories from one of rugby's greatest careers, along with plenty of lessons on leadership, resilience and personal growth.Let us know what you thought of this episode in the comments

The Storm That Crossed Three States: The Tri-State Tornado of 1925On March 18, 1925, a tornado touched down near Ellington, Missouri and spent the next three and a half hours carving a 219-mile path of destruction through southeastern Missouri, southern Illinois, and southwestern Indiana. It remains the deadliest single tornado in recorded American history.IN THIS EPISODE:This episode tells the full story of the Tri-State Tornado — from the quiet Tuesday afternoon when it appeared without warning, through the obliteration of Murphysboro, De Soto, Gorham, West Frankfort, and dozens of other communities, to the haunting aftermath that changed how America thinks about weather preparedness. Personal stories, eyewitness accounts, and the legacy this storm left behind.KEY FACTS:- Date: March 18, 1925- Path: Ellington, Missouri → southern Illinois → southwestern Indiana- Path length: 219 miles — longest continuous tornado track ever recorded- Duration: approximately 3.5 hours on the ground- Width: up to 1 mile across- Speed: up to 62 miles per hour- Estimated intensity: EF5 (winds exceeding 200 mph)- Fatalities: 695 — the most deaths from a single tornado in U.S. history- Injuries: 2,027- Homes destroyed: 15,000- Counties impacted: 13 across three states- Deaths in Murphysboro, IL alone: 234 — a record for any single community from a tornado- Deaths at De Soto, IL school: 33 — a record for any U.S. school tornado- Gorham, IL: 100% of structures destroyed- Towns of Parrish, IL and Griffin, IN essentially wiped from the mapMETEOROLOGICAL DETAILS:The tornado began as a classic supercell in Missouri and transitioned to a high-precipitation mode in Illinois and Indiana. Witnesses described a massive wedge tornado — rain-wrapped and so low and wide that many did not recognize it as a tornado until it was upon them. In 1925, there was no tornado warning system, no weather radar, and no public sirens. The storm's death toll was magnified by the complete absence of any advance warning.LEGACY:The Tri-State Tornado directly contributed to growing pressure on meteorologists and government officials to develop better storm detection and public warning infrastructure. It took decades and many more tragedies before the National Weather Service tornado warning network came into being — but the memory of March 18, 1925 drove that work forward.SOURCES FOR FURTHER READING:- National Weather Service Paducah — 1925 Tornado: https://www.weather.gov/pah/1925Tornado- E-Journal of Severe Storms Meteorology — The 1925 Tri-State Tornado Damage Path: https://ejssm.com/ojs/index.php/site/article/view/47- Illinois State Museum — The Tri-State Tornado: Tragedy and Resilience: https://www.emuseum.org/exhibitions/the-tri-state-tornado-tragedy-and-resilience- NWS Meteorological Analysis (PDF): https://www.weather.gov/media/pah/1925_Tornado/Maddox_etal_TriStateMeteor.pdfHASHTAGS:#weather #tornado #history #TriStateTornado #1925 #extremeweather #weatherhistory #Illinois #Missouri #Indiana #WeatherWithEnthusiasm #KolSimchaProductionsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/weather-with-enthusiasm--4911017/support.Weather with Enthusiasm is produced by Kol Simcha Productions.New episodes drop daily (B'N)— a morning forecast at 7 AM and historical deep dives Tuesdays and Thursdays. Contact: kolsimchaproductions@outlook.comHistorical content is thoroughly researched and factually verified.

Some women clear their calendar for a mammogram. Others step onto a 40-foot pink coach in their office parking lot. As director of mobile services at The Rose, Shelly Kot oversees a five-coach fleet that delivers the same 3D screening you’d get in a center to women across 45 counties in Southeast Texas.

This week we're celebrating the historic Artemis II astronauts, pencils, old school sharpeners, and wondering why counties are boringly named the same as cities. Bryan discusses the Trump Administration backing down and allowing a pride flag to be permanently flown at the Stonewall National Monument, and how San Francisco-based Philz Coffee is starting a new policy removing pride flags from their shops. Erin tells us about the horrifying new trend of "alpine divorce" leaving women stranded (or worse) while hiking treacherous locations with their partners.
