Since 1951, when Tibet was formally annexed into the People's Republic of China, Tibet has been a battleground between China's efforts to assert control and the Tibetan people's struggle to preserve their cultural and religious identity. This past August, Xi Jinping made a surprise visit to Tibet, his second since becoming China's top leader in 2012. Less than two months earlier, the Dalai Lama, now 90 years old, announced that his office, not China, would choose his successor when he passes. A few months before that, the Dalai Lama revealed in a memoir that he would reincarnate outside of China. The PRC insists that the next incarnation – the 15th Dalai Lama – will be born inside PRC territory and approved by the Chinese government. What are Beijing's interests in Tibet and how has Xi Jinping pursued them since coming to power? What is likely to occur after the Dalai Lama's passing? I'm delighted to have as my guest today Tendor Dorjee. Tendor is an adjunct assistant professor of political science at Columbia University, a senior researcher at the Tibet Action Institute, and the inaugural Stephanie G Neuman Fellow at the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies. He recently co-authored an article in Foreign Affairs titled Beijing's Dangerous Game in Tibet”.Timestamps[00:00] Start [02:08] Beijing's Key Interests in Tibet [04:06] Xi Jinping's Approach to Tibet [07:00] Internal and External Drivers of Tibet Policy [08:08] Xi's Recent Visit to Tibet [11:34] Infrastructure Developments and Expansionism  [15:27] Beijing's Succession Plans and Tibetan Reactions to a Future Dalai Lama [20:27] Risk of Unrest and Crackdowns [25:43] Implications for Neighboring States

CannCon and Ghost team up for a loaded episode of Badlands Daily. They start with community stories from a Minnesota Badlanders meetup before diving into breaking news: the FBI is under investigation for obstructing its own politically sensitive cases, including Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and Donald Trump. The discussion digs into Charles McGonagall's shady history, his alleged role as “One Eye,” and how his ties to Chinese and Russian interests ripple through Russiagate and beyond. From there, the hosts turn to immigration and cartel battles, unpacking Trump's ICE surge in Chicago, Operation Midway Blitz, and the constitutional fight over immigration stops in Los Angeles. They examine how gangland dynamics could explode into open conflict and why cutting cartel logistics may be the key to victory. The conversation shifts to Epstein's newly released documents, Maxwell's conviction challenges, and how narrative warfare is shaping public perception. Wrapping up, CannCon and Ghost tackle cultural battles, media manipulation, and election integrity, underscoring that the fight for America is waged on multiple fronts.

A vicious murder on public transit sparks a national debate on crime, race, and how to crack down. Plus, the Supreme Court gives a green light for ICE to continue stopping people based on their skin or what language they're speaking.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover immigration raids from Boston to Savannah, the latest jobs report and economic culprits, Venezuela's narco-terror fight, China's alignment with Russia, Zelenskyy's swipe at Trump, and a Pentagon name change with global implications. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America's future.   Immigration Crackdowns: Operation Patriot 2.0 launched in Massachusetts targeting violent criminals shielded by sanctuary laws. Trump teased Chicago raids with an “Apocalypse Now” meme, while a Savannah raid at Hyundai's mega-factory nabbed 475 illegals — the largest single-site operation in DHS history.   Jobs Report Disappoints: Only 22,000 jobs were added in August, with revisions showing losses in June. Native-born employment is rising as 820,000 foreign workers have left, but debate rages over whether the culprits are Jerome Powell's high rates, Trump's tariff wars, Silicon Valley's AI revolution, or Biden's weak foundation.   Venezuela Narco-Terror Strike Debate: Trump sank a Tren de Aragua drug boat, killing 11. Democrats and Sen. Rand Paul demand Coast Guard arrests, while Trump's War Secretary Pete Hegseth insists, “A drug cartel is no different than al Qaeda.”   China, Russia, and India Align: Trump blasted, “Looks like we've lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China.” Reuters revealed Beijing firms sold $50 million in drone parts and military supplies to Moscow, tightening the Xi-Putin alliance.   Zelenskyy Criticizes Trump Over Alaska Summit: The Ukrainian president told ABC it was “a pity” Trump gave Putin legitimacy. Yet he admitted, “President Trump is right about the Europeans,” as EU nations import record Russian gas despite sanctions.   Department of Defense Renamed: The White House rebrands it the Department of War, reflecting a more aggressive posture from Venezuela to Ukraine and the Pacific.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Operation Patriot 2.0 Massachusetts immigration raids, Trump Chicago Apocalypse Now meme, Savannah Hyundai raid 475 illegals, U.S. jobs report August 2025, Jerome Powell Fed rates, Trump tariffs exemptions metals, AI layoffs Salesforce, Biden weak jobs foundation, Trump Venezuela narco-terror strike, Pete Hegseth drug cartels al Qaeda, Xi Jinping Putin military alliance, China drone parts Russia, Zelenskyy Alaska summit criticism, EU Russian gas imports, Department of War rebrand Pentagon

Send us a text by clicking this link!The cultural battle lines have never been more clearly drawn for Catholic families than they are today. In the wake of the Minnesota church shooting, we dive deep into the misunderstood story of Mary Grace Westman, a Catholic mother who faced impossible choices under Minnesota's radical gender laws. What many initially portrayed as parental complicity appears increasingly to be a story of a faith-filled mother cornered by a system designed to override parental authority.Minnesota's legislation, championed by Governor Tim Walz, has created what amounts to a "sanctuary state" for child gender transitions – where one parent can override another's objections simply by crossing state lines. These policies represent just one facet of the moral collapse we're witnessing across society, where adults who should protect children instead cause irreparable harm under the banner of affirmation.The conversation shifts to examine how Catholics should respond to mounting cultural hostility. We explore the false divisions between traditional and Novus Ordo Catholics, noting that when persecution comes, our enemies won't bother distinguishing between liturgical preferences. The time for circular firing squads within Catholicism has passed – we need to build coalitions of faithful Catholics prepared to weather the growing storm.Despite the darkness, glimmers of hope emerge through personal stories. From workplace evangelization to charity toward the marginalized, we discover that living authentically Catholic lives provides opportunities to reach souls searching for meaning. One particularly powerful response has been the "Protect Catholic Kids" shirt initiative, with all proceeds supporting the Annunciation Parish families affected by the shooting.How do we balance righteous anger at evil with Christ's call to love our enemies? How do we protect our families while remaining charitable? These questions demand answers from every faithful Catholic today. Join us as we navigate these treacherous waters and find a path forward rooted in both truth and love.Support the show"Protect Catholic Kids" Shirt Fundraiser for Victims of Annunciation Shooting: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/protect-catholic-kids ********************************************************Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssRumble: https://rumble.com/c/AvoidingBabylon

CannCon and Alpha Warrior tackle the aftermath of the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting, breaking down the shooter's background, manifesto, and disturbing ties to cultural and pharmaceutical influences. They highlight how false flag narratives don't mean “fake,” but point to deeper agendas, from SSRIs and MK Ultra-style manipulation to media-driven propaganda. The hosts compare coverage across CNN, MSNBC, and Fox, exposing how emotional storytelling buries evidence and fuels control agendas. Beyond the tragedy, they dive into Trump's policies, from ending cashless bail to D.C. crime crackdowns, and debate policing, community pride, and the economics of crime reduction. With sharp back-and-forth, personal anecdotes, and even fantasy football smack talk, the episode blends heavy analysis with the irreverent energy that makes Badlands Daily a staple.

"This is a wakeup call for many Americans who thought, it doesn't make any difference."

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the growing battle between Trump and the Federal Reserve, new fights over redistricting in California and Texas, major courtroom victories for the president, and breakthrough medical research on autism. From fiery clashes in Washington to hopeful discoveries in science, today's brief delivers the headlines shaping America's future. Trump vs. Powell and the Federal Reserve: Fed Chair Jerome Powell delivers a pivotal speech today as Trump threatens to fire him over high interest rates. Biden appointee Lisa Cook refuses to resign amid a DOJ mortgage fraud investigation, declaring, “I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position.” Trump pushes to replace Fed governors with his own picks, raising the stakes for the economy and next year's midterms. California and Texas Redistricting Battles: California Governor Gavin Newsom pushes a special election to redraw maps that would flip five GOP districts to Democrats, but polls show 64 percent of Californians want to keep the independent commission's map. Meanwhile, Texas Republicans advance their own redistricting plan to shift five seats from Democrats to Republicans, with Florida and Missouri set to follow. Trump Scores Three Major Court Victories: A New York appeals court strikes down a $500 million civil fraud verdict, calling it “a stinging rebuke” to Attorney General Letitia James. The Supreme Court clears Trump to cut $800 million in DEI grants at the NIH. And the Ninth Circuit rules he can end Biden's Temporary Protected Status protections for 60,000 migrants, overturning what Bryan calls “an egregiously wrong” lower court decision. Immigration Crackdown in Washington DC: Trump personally joins ICE agents targeting illegal immigrants on mopeds working for delivery services. One arrest of a Mexican national sparked outrage until it was revealed he had raped a 13-year-old child, forcing Democrats to quickly delete their criticism. Bryan calls it proof that “facts matter, and sometimes they come out too late.” Economic Data Surprises and Tariff Revenues: Despite gloomy forecasts, Walmart sales hold firm, housing sales tick upward, and factory activity reaches its highest level since 2022. Trump's tariffs generate a record $160 billion in revenue, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirming the funds are reducing U.S. debt. “It's leaving the economic smarties scratching their heads,” Bryan notes, as predictions of collapse keep falling flat. Global Updates — Ukraine, India, and the UK: Trump urges Zelenskyy to strike inside Russia, writing, “It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invader's country.” Russia responds by bombing a U.S.-owned factory in Ukraine. In India, Prime Minister Modi moves closer to China, praising “steady progress guided by respect for each other's interests” while his billionaire allies profit from Russian oil sales. In the UK, PM Keir Starmer faces fury as asylum seekers flood in and crime rises. Breakthroughs in Autism Research: South Korean scientists develop a probiotic treatment that reduces autism symptoms in mice by altering gut bacteria. At Stanford, researchers test an epilepsy drug, Z-944, that reverses autism symptoms including seizures, sensitivity issues, and social impairments. Bryan calls the findings “a wonderful way to start the weekend.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Powell Federal Reserve fight, Jerome Powell interest rates, Lisa Cook DOJ investigation, California redistricting Newsom, Texas GOP redistricting plan, Trump court victories Letitia James, Supreme Court NIH DEI grants, Ninth Circuit TPS migrants, Trump DC ICE mopeds, Walmart sales tariffs, U.S. factory activity 2025, Trump tariffs debt reduction, Zelenskyy strike inside Russia, Russia bombs U.S. factory Ukraine, Modi Xi China alliance, UK asylum seekers Starmer, South Korea autism probiotic, Stanford epilepsy drug autism reversal

Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte have done the doom scrolling so you don't have to, bringing you the viral chaos, the political drama, and the bits the mainstream misses.First up, the scandal that broke the internet—yes, that Coldplay affair. It had everything: shock, schadenfreude, and memes so relentless they almost made you forget how painful it must have been for those involved. The ladies have rounded up the funniest, sharpest, and most unhinged takes from across social media.Then they dive into Labour's latest rollercoaster, including the good things you're not hearing about. One thing that has hit the headlines is the news that sixteen-year-olds will soon get the vote—cue the inevitable outrage about teenagers who “can't even boil an egg.” Meanwhile, Starmer's whip-wielding spree has left MPs floating awkwardly between “Labour-ish” and politically homeless, and Diane Abbott's expulsion has sparked fury about hypocrisy at the heart of the party. Add Corbyn's growing “Independent Alliance,” and you've got a movement that's starting to look more like a rebellion.Oh, and did we mention pensioners are being arrested for peaceful protest? Yeah. That too.And the latest update from Palestine is heart wrenching but has to be discussed.

A former IRD prosecutor is calling for changes to the student loan system so that Kiwis living overseas aren't put off coming home because they're worried about being arrested at the border. In April, interest rates for overseas borrowers was lifted from 3.9% to 4.9% and the late payment interest rate for all borrowers to 8.9%. Tax barrister Dave Ananth says this is putting people off returning to New Zealand at a time we should be encouraging skilled people to come home. Bella Craig reports.

Last night, Israel launched strikes on Iran, an unprecedented escalation that has global leaders on edge and many wondering: are we staring down the barrel of World War III? Meanwhile, back home, things aren't looking any more stable. In Los Angeles, the Trump administration continues to back its unconstitutional deployment of the National Guard to silence protesters. And just when we thought the authoritarianism couldn't get any more blatant, Senator Alex Padilla was detained and dragged out of a Kristi Noem press event for asking questions. Yes, really. Trump once claimed he'd “end the wars.” Instead, it looks like he's starting new ones, both abroad and at home. Let's unpack the chaos, connect the dots, and ask the question on everyone's mind: what the hell is happening? WE HAVE MERCH!!

In this episode of The Refresh, Kait walks us through an overlooked but impactful week in advertising. From explosive revelations about brand ads on explicit platforms, to Meta's push for fully automated AI-driven ad creation, and a new FTC investigation into media watchdogs, this week's headlines raise deeper questions about trust, transparency, and control in digital advertising. We cover: or brands like Verizon and Amazon running ads on a teen-rated app rife with explicit and offensive content. Ads were served via Meta, Amazon, and Epsilon, with Google removing the app only after the story broke. The incident highlights systemic failures in classification and oversight across major platforms—platforms that benefit from scale but lack incentive to fully enforce brand safety. Meta announced plans to fully automate ad creative and targeting by 2026 using AI. While potentially helpful for small businesses, the move raises concerns about creative quality, transparency, and the potential erosion of brand control. The FTC launched an investigation into advertiser boycotts, probing whether organizations like Media Matters and Adfontes are influencing anti-competitive behaviors through media quality frameworks. The broader theme this week is that the tools and platforms meant to empower advertisers may be evolving faster than the industry can ensure they're being used ethically—or effectively.

Summer is almost officially here and things are already heating up. From the increasing pressure from Republicans to back Ukraine (a massive win for everyone) to Trump's new half-baked “Golden Dome” defense system to another horrific antisemitic attack on two Israeli embassy staffers in DC, your fearless and always independent host Paul Rieckhoff has you covered.

In Episode 30 of Altered State, hosts Zak “RedPill78” Paine and Brad Zerbo light up a high-energy conversation covering everything from cannabis regulation to border chaos and Big Tech overreach. Kicking off with a look at the FDA's war on natural medicine and psychedelic therapy, they draw connections between pharmaceutical monopolies and the suppression of holistic healing. The conversation shifts to Elon Musk's plans to integrate Starlink with Trump's Truth Social, which they see as a major step toward decentralizing information, and possibly a communications lifeline in the event of a digital blackout. The hosts also tackle America's increasingly unstable border situation, noting the strange silence around potential bio-weapon infiltration and the bizarre secrecy surrounding migrant processing centers. They pull no punches on Trump's stance on tariffs, economic sovereignty, and the weaponization of government against political dissidents. With plenty of tangents, sharp insights, and a dash of classic RedPill78 sass, this episode blends health freedom, tech warfare, and the deep state's ongoing deception into one spicy joint of truth. Whether you're in it for the weed policy or the world-stage geopolitics, Episode 30 delivers a hit of reality you won't soon forget.
