"Neil Lazarus discusses the shocking twist in Israeli politics: Benjamin Netanyahu's request for a pardon. Why now? What's he afraid of? And what does this bombshell mean for Israel's future? Stay tuned; this is the episode everyone will be talking about."Netanyahu's desperate attempt to secure a 'Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card' has exploded into a national crisis, with the world asking: Will This Single Request Save Netanyahu From Decades of Legal Battles?The BREAKING news that the Prime Minister officially Begs for Pardon to end his unprecedented corruption trial, despite maintaining his innocence, has led to critics calling the move a 'Deadly Blow to the Rule of Law' and a direct attempt to 'Bypass the Courts.'This Ultimate Escape Hatch has ignited a firestorm, forcing President Isaac Herzog into an UNBELIEVABLE political and constitutional standoff, will he grant the request, which the Prime Minister claims is a necessary step to promote national unity and end the trial that is 'tearing us apart from within,' or will he reject the plea, which his opponents insist must be conditioned on an admission of guilt, remorse, and an immediate retirement from political life?The Ticking Clock on this decision will determine if the embattled Prime Minister or Prisoner is allowed to halt his own trial and avoid the full scrutiny of justice.

Des courts métrages sénégalais pour la première fois visibles au cinéma. Cela se passe à Dakar. Depuis une semaine, quatre films de jeunes cinéastes africains sont projetés deux fois par semaine, le mardi et le jeudi dans les deux grandes salles de la capitale. Le Pathé et le Seanema et suivi d'un débat avec le public. L'occasion jusqu'au 11 décembre de voir le travail de tout jeunes cinéastes qui seront peut-être les grands noms de demain. Kaay Seetaan, (« Viens voir ») en wolof, s'affiche en lettres capitales sur le grand écran. Installé dans un fauteuil de la salle obscure, Armand Komla Sousou 27 ans, originaire du Togo, formé à la réalisation à Lomé puis à Dakar à l'écriture du scénario, peine encore à y croire. Voir son premier film, Marco au cinéma, c'est : « Fabuleux. Je me rappelle encore écrire dans ma petite chambre d'étudiant un scénario et du jour au lendemain le voir porter à l'écran avec des gens qui ont des étoiles dans les yeux, c'est juste fabuleux. » Penda Seck, elle, s'est essayée au métier de réalisatrice et elle aussi est encore émerveillée de l'apprentissage qu'elle vient de faire après cinq mois de formation, à tout juste 22 ans : « Quand tu te retrouves pour la première fois sur un plateau et qu'il y a près de quarante personnes et que tu dois parler à tout le monde en gardant son sang-froid et bien gérer une équipe. Avoir une bonne ambiance sur le plateau, et tout ça pour une première fois : c'est énorme. » « Ça peut être des films d'horreur » Apprendre, c'est bien l'enjeu de cette formation en cinq mois. Financé par la coopération culturelle britannique (le British Council) Le Film Lab, c'est son nom, veut professionnaliser un secteur en pleine expansion, comme l'explique Chloé Orthole Diop-productrice elle-même et qui a supervisé la formation : « Au Sénégal, on est très bon en technique et cinéma, mais pas assez de technicien, en particulier en son, en image et en production. C'est ça qu'on a identifié comme les terrains prioritaires à former. » En tout, seize jeunes, des Sénégalais pour l'essentiel, ont été formés aux métiers de chef opérateur, prise du son, mais aussi compositeur de musique de film ou encore scénariste et réalisateur. Un côté laboratoire que Penda Seck, directrice artistique jusqu'ici, a particulièrement apprécié en tant que réalisatrice : « Tu peux avoir envie de faire autre chose et autre chose, ça peut être des films d'horreur ou du cinéma expérimental. Ce n'est pas parce que je suis Africaine que je ne peux pas faire un film d'horreur. » Au final, c'est le drame psychologique que la jeune femme a exploré. Une histoire très personnelle sur la dépression et le poids du silence qui pèse encore trop souvent au Sénégal sur les femmes mariées qui se doivent d'être des épouses exemplaires.

Aughie and Nia discuss the oral arguments before the US Supreme Court in consolidated cases Learning Resources, Inc v Trump and Trump v V.O.S. Selections. These cases argue that the Presidential imposition of tariffs is unconsitutional.

Most people run from government bureaucracy. Pavan Parikh ran toward it—and decided to rewrite the system from the inside.He believes public service should move like a startup: fast, transparent, and built around people, not process.But when tradition, power, and red tape pushed back, he didn't fold—he went to the statehouse to fight for reform.So how do you disrupt a 200-year-old system that was never built for speed or equity?In Episode 188 of the Disruption Now Podcast, Pavan breaks down how he's modernizing Hamilton County's court systems, digitizing paper-heavy workflows, and using AI and automation to reduce barriers to justice rather than create new ones. Whether you work in government, policy, law, or tech, you'll see how startup tools and mindsets can create real impact, not just buzzwords.Pavan Parikh is the elected Hamilton County Clerk of Courts in Ohio, focused on increasing access to justice, improving customer service, and modernizing one of the county's most important institutions. In this episode, we talk about what happens when a startup mindset collides with decades-old court processes, why culture eats technology for breakfast, and how AI can help everyday people navigate civil cases, evictions, and protection orders more effectively.You'll also hear Pavan's personal journey—from planning a career in medicine to 9/11 shifting him toward law and public service to ultimately leading one of the most prominent offices in Hamilton County. We get into fear of AI, job-loss anxiety within government, and how he's reframing AI as a teammate that frees staff for higher-value work rather than replacing them.If you've ever looked at the justice system and thought “there has to be a better way,” this deep dive into startup thinking for government will show you what that better way can look like—and what it takes to build it from the inside.What you'll learn in this episode:How startup thinking for government can reduce friction and errors in court processesWhy is Pavan obsessed with access to justice and end-user experience for everyday residents?How Hamilton County is digitizing records, streamlining evictions, and modernizing civil protection order filingWhere AI and automation can safely support court staff and help-center attorneysWhy change management is the real challenge—not the technologyHow local government can be a faster “lab” for responsible AI than federal agenciesWhat it really looks like to design systems around people, not paperworkChapters:00:00 Why the government needs startup thinking03:15 Pavan's path from medicine to law and 9/11's impact10:45 Modernizing Hamilton County courts and killing paper workflows22:10 AI, access to justice, and reimagining the Help Center35:30 Careers, values, and becoming a disruptor in public serviceQuick Q&A (for searchers):Q: What does “startup thinking for government” mean in this episode?A: Treating residents as end users, iterating on systems, and using tech and AI to automate low-value tasks so staff can focus on service and justice outcomes.Q: How is Hamilton County using technology to improve access to justice?A: By digitizing records, expanding the Help Center, improving online access to cases, limiting or removing outdated eviction records, and building easier online processes for civil protection orders.Q: Will AI replace court jobs?A: Pavan argues AI should handle repetitive questions and data lookups so humans can spend more time problem-solving, doing quality control, and helping people with complex issues.Connect with Pavan Parikh (verified/public handles):Website: PavanParikh.comX (Twitter): @KeepPavanClerkFacebook: Pavan Parikh for Clerk of Courts / @KeepPavanClerkInstagram: @KeepPavanClerkOffice channel: Hamilton County Clerk of Courts – @HamCoClerk on YouTubeDisruption Now resources:Subscribe to YouTube for more conversations at the intersection of AI, policy, government, and impact.Join the newsletter for weekly trends in AI and emerging tech for people who want to change systems, not just complain about them. bit.ly/newsletterDN#StartupThinking #GovTech #AccessToJusticeDisruption Now: Disrupting the status quo, making emerging tech human-centric and Accessible to all.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down the fierce political battles inside Washington over healthcare, immigration, and the courts. He then turns to global flashpoints involving the Muslim Brotherhood, Ukraine, foreign propaganda campaigns, and a surprising development involving Italian pasta. Healthcare Fight Intensifies: President Trump is preparing to release his updated plan for America's health insurance marketplace. Early details include extending Obamacare subsidies for two more years, with tighter income eligibility rules and minimum premium requirements. The White House will also expand Health Savings Accounts and allow federal assistance to be used for faith-based HealthShare programs. Republicans fear voter backlash if a fix is not delivered before the midterms. At the same time, critics warn that the extension will add around fifty billion dollars per year to the national debt. Bryan notes the frustration felt by many listeners facing soaring premiums, including his own fifty-four percent increase. Immigration Battle Escalates: DHS is recruiting "deportation judges" with salaries up to $200,000 and significant bonuses. The administration hopes to replace immigration judges with high asylum approval rates, particularly in cities like San Francisco, where twelve Democrat appointed judges have already been removed. Trump is prioritizing faster removals for millions of pending asylum cases. Meanwhile, the fight over Somali welfare fraud has led the White House to rescind long-standing protections for Somali migrants, prompting criticism from Democrats and activist groups. Representative Ilhan Omar mocked the policy shift and insisted, "We are here to stay." Courts Block Key Enforcement Tools: A Clinton-appointed judge ruled that the IRS cannot share data with DHS to identify illegal aliens, blocking access to more than one million records. Other Democrat appointed judges halted Trump's attempt to expand rapid deportations inside the United States for migrants who have been here for fewer than two years. Bryan explains why these rulings highlight a deeper partisan divide inside the judiciary and why Supreme Court control has become a central battleground for both parties. Sedition Charges and Military Discipline: Senator Mark Kelly and other members of the "Seditious Six" face investigations after urging military personnel to resist hypothetical unlawful orders from President Trump. Kelly insists he is exercising free speech, but Pentagon officials say retired officers remain bound by military law. Bryan argues that these calls to resist the President are politically motivated and undermine public trust in the armed forces. Representative Eugene Vindman is also under investigation for unapproved foreign consulting work in Ukraine after leaving military service. Comey and Letitia James Win a Round in Court: Charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James were dismissed after a judge ruled that the Trump appointed prosecutor had been improperly selected. The Department of Justice says it will refile the charges and insists the statute of limitations has not expired. Bryan describes the moment as a tactical win for the defendants but not the end of the fight. Trump Targets the Muslim Brotherhood: The President ordered the State Department to determine which branches of the Muslim Brotherhood should be labeled as terrorist organizations. The group's history stretches back to its founding in Egypt in the 1920s, inspiring violent movements including Hamas and al Qaeda. Bryan notes that some Middle Eastern governments, particularly Turkey and Qatar, still support parts of the organization, and that groups like CAIR in the United States have roots in Brotherhood networks. Foreign Troll Farms Exposed on X: A new platform update revealed that many accounts posing as American conservatives or pro-Palestine activists are actually operated from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. These users post inflammatory political content to generate clicks and payouts under Elon Musk's monetization system. Bryan urges listeners to be skeptical of viral accounts and to scrutinize sources. Ukraine Peace Plan Revised: Trump's proposed peace plan has been reduced from 28 points to 19 and now leans more toward Ukraine's favor. European leaders insist Ukraine must maintain a one-million-strong force, even as countries like Germany admit it will take a decade to reach 260,000 troops. Bryan argues that Europe's rhetoric far exceeds its ability to act and that Trump is correct to dismiss their objections. Italian Pasta Tariff Coming: The White House is preparing a tariff on imported Italian pasta to protect U.S. producers. Bryan jokes that listeners may want to stock up now.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32   Put a smile on your face and give joy to your taste buds… Give Masa and Vandy beef tallow chips a try today!

Across the country, tech companies are successfully suing to block laws aimed at protecting children online. Jake speaks with Holly Grosshans and Ariel Fox Johnson of Common Sense Media about how the industry is using the first amendment and federal law to skirt accountability, and they discuss how the places where the industry has lost in court may point a viable way forward to enforce regulation that mitigates the harms of social media on youth.

#foryou #podcast In 2010, two days after Christmas, Iain hugged his daughter goodbye—believing she was simply going to the library. He never saw her again. What followed was a shocking case of familial human trafficking, international abduction, and systemic failure. The U.S. Embassy called it “out of jurisdiction.” Courts ignored his pleas. Desperate, he confronted the man he believed was his daughter's abuser—only to be incarcerated for 50 months in Poland. Iain spent four years in prison, wrote a book, and is now speaking worldwide, still fighting to be heard.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a motion in federal court in the Southern District of Florida requesting that grand-jury transcripts (and related protective orders) from the investigations of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell be unsealed. The motion cites the newly enacted Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandates the release of unclassified DOJ materials related to Epstein within 30 days, arguing that grand-jury transcripts should not be exempt from disclosure simply because of their status. The DOJ said it will make appropriate redactions for victim-identifying information and asks that any pre-existing protective orders be lifted so the records can be made public.In its filings, the DOJ highlighted that the transcripts in question stem from earlier investigations — including grand-jury sessions from 2005 and 2007 in Florida — and asserted that the public interest in transparency around Epstein's crimes and network is compelling. The motion requests an expedited ruling to meet the 30-day deadline set by the Transparency Act. At the same time, the DOJ acknowledges that the law does not explicitly mention grand-jury material, but argues that court precedent allows unsealing where justified and that the transcripts do not contain “new” information that would pose unusual harm, when properly redacted.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

When passion meets perseverance, magic happens.This week on SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, we bring you the inspiring journey of a family that's redefining the culture of women's basketball — Coach Bryan Dickerson and his daughter, Coach Erin Dickerson Davis. Together, they've turned a shared love for the game into a generational legacy that's touching lives from grassroots gyms to Division I arenas.For more than two decades, Coach Bryan Dickerson has been the heart and soul of youth basketball. As a volunteer coach, he's helped shape hundreds of athletes, guiding many to college scholarships — all while staying true to his love for the game.His success with Team Takeover — one of the nation's most respected AAU programs — includes two national championships and countless stories of young players realizing their dreams. But no victory compares to coaching his daughter, Erin.“I coached her hard,” Bryan admits. “But it made her tough.”That toughness turned Coach Erin Dickerson Davis into a trailblazer. Now the head coach at William & Mary, she's making history — leading the program to its first-ever 20-win season and becoming the winningest coach in school history.“I wanted to be the coach I wish I had,” Erin says. “That's what drives me every single day.”Coaching your own child isn't easy. Bryan had to find the balance between pushing and protecting. And Erin? She had to learn to separate “Coach” from “Dad.”She laughs about it now — but back then, those moments built resilience. The nickname “E.T.,” short for Every Time, came from her dependable shot in high school. That consistency, that confidence — it's carried her through every chapter of her career.After graduating from Northwestern, Erin passed up corporate job offers to chase her dream of coaching — a decision that even made her dad pause at first. But once he saw her purpose and passion in motion, he knew she was born for this.The Dickersons have seen it all — the wins, the heartbreaks, and everything in between. Their advice for parents, players, and coaches? Keep basketball fun.

Southern Utah's future won't be decided by accident.We take you inside the most consequential choices shaping St. George right now—from Tech Ridge's emerging skyline and the plan to heal the Black Hill scar, to the four paradoxes that determine whether growth feels livable or overwhelming: housing, resources, wages, and heritage.What You'll Get in This Episode:Tech Ridge vision – skyline impacts, 60 acres of parks and trails, and smarter traffic with new southern accessBlack Hill scar fix – why this signals stewardship and design standards for the futureHousing paradox – supply constraints on only 11% developable land vs. policies that inflate demandResource limits – water scarcity, hillside ordinances, and view corridors that protect ridgesJobs and wages – moving from population-tied sectors to higher-pay career laddersHeritage and identity – trails, lights, festivals, and shared rituals that bind newcomers to long-timersBalance of power – courts vs. executive authority and Utah's redistricting tensionCommunity spotlight – Stuff The Bus toy drive at Station One on December 5thLive format plans – upcoming guests and a call for your inputThis is a candid, on-the-ground tour of how density, design, and economic mix can protect views, trails, and small-town character while raising incomes and keeping families here. From clustered mixed-use neighborhoods to the policies that make beauty non-negotiable, we lay out the roadmap to grow with intent.We also zoom out to the national headlines shaping the backdrop: UAP revelations, courts rebalancing executive power, and how these threads pull back to local stakes—trust in institutions, transparent tradeoffs, and the social fabric that keeps neighbors moving in the same direction.If you care about where St. George is headed over the next 20 years, this is your jumping-in point.Subscribe, share with a neighbor, and tell us in the comments: What heritage do you refuse to lose as Southern Utah grows?

Courts are increasingly allowing employers to invoke the First Amendment's expressive association doctrine — originally crafted for civic and membership organizations — to avoid antidiscrimination laws in the workplace.  In this episode, we speak with our Toni Rembe Lecture speaker, Professor Elizabeth Sepper, who is known for her work on religious liberty, health law, equality and emerging questions about how public and private institutions are asserting religious or expressive identities. She recently visited UW Law to unpack her forthcoming article in the Michigan Law Review, "Expressive Association at Work," which she co-authored with James Nelson and Charlotte Garden.     Professor Sepper explores how courts are beginning to treat the workplace like a membership organization — sometimes without acknowledging the profound differences between civil associations and hierarchical employment structures. Her work shows why this shift matters for workers, for employers and for the future of antidiscrimination law. 

SNAP benefits may soon be changing, and Joe Pags breaks it all down — including the stunning number of SNAP recipients in California using the program for free fast food, a statistic that will leave you furious. Then Rep. Chip Roy joins the show with major updates: a circuit court has ruled that Texas cannot use its newly drawn congressional maps in the 2026 midterms, and Chip explains why this fight is nowhere near finished and is headed straight to SCOTUS. He also breaks down why Texas redistricting is fundamentally different from California's, the latest on immigration raids in San Antonio and Charlotte, and the shocking story of Stacey Plaskett — who helped oversee the first Trump impeachment while allegedly texting Jeffrey Epstein. Chip and Pags dive deep into the courts, Texas politics, and SNAP — an explosive, must-hear hour. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The criminal legal system often misunderstands—and mishandles—people with intellectual disabilities. Law professor Katie Kronick explains how and why these individuals so often fall through the cracks in a system built around efficiency and rigid rules. She breaks down the stakes with real examples, including a high-profile death penalty case now before the Supreme Court, and shares ideas for building a criminal justice system that recognizes and respects the needs of defendants with intellectual disabilities. For more on this topic:  Read Kronick's amicus brief for the Supreme Court case Hamm v.

Ramesh Ponnuru of National Review Are the Democrats Fixable? The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life The post Why the Democratic Party is Losing Voters on Social Issues – Ramesh Ponnuru, 11/14/25 (3182) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Depravity, inhumanity, and immorality, all on full display this week with Trump and his Administration, as he  arm twists and abuses female MAGA House members to bury the Epstein Files including the new revelations  about his spending time at Epstein's house with “girls;” asks Courts to let him starve hungry Americans and beat First Amendment  Protestors;  and forces prosecutors to go after his political enemies including President Obama for treason using his hand picked judges like Judge Cannon in Florida.  But Courts are fighting back too, as Judge Currie holds a hearing tomorrow to decide whether Lindsey Halligan should be disqualified as a federal prosecutor and the indictments of James Comey and Letitia James dismissed.  Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo dissect it all on the top rated Legal AF Podcast.
