Within just a few days, the United States working with Israel has destroyed Iran's military force. Defense systems provided to the regime by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) were destroyed, Iran's fleet of warships was sunk, and its leadership was killed in targeted strikes. The show of force has reasserted the fighting prowess of the United States, and also put a serious dent in the global plans of the CCP.We'll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

When a state's budget grows 65% in seven years while families feel poorer, something isn't adding up. That's the story unfolding in Maine politics right now. Government spending has surged, taxes remain high, and yet affordability continues to erode. In Episode 188 of the Let People Prosper Show, we dig into what's happening—and what could change.I recently spoke with Maine State Rep. Laurel Libby, a small-business owner, mother of five, and one of the most outspoken reform voices in Augusta. She didn't enter politics for prestige. She stepped in because she saw Maine drifting away from transparency, fiscal responsibility, and accountability.If you care about government spending, education, healthcare, taxation, and economic growth, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

In this conversation from the America at a Crossroads series, acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns and Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Rick Atkinson join journalist Patt Morrison to examine how the American founding era continues to shape today's political and cultural debates.Drawing on their extensive work exploring the Revolutionary period, Burns and Atkinson discuss the ideas, conflicts, and leadership that defined America's birth—and how those same tensions echo in the nation's present moment.The discussion explores questions including:• What lessons does the American Revolution offer for today's challenges?• How did the founding generation navigate division and uncertainty?• What historical perspective can help illuminate the crossroads America faces today?Burns reflects on themes from his documentary The American Revolution, while Atkinson discusses insights from his bestselling Revolution Trilogy, including The Fate of the Day.SpeakersKen Burns – Documentary filmmaker known for landmark series including The Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, The National Parks: America's Best Idea, The Vietnam War, and The American Revolution.Rick Atkinson – Pulitzer Prize–winning historian and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Long Gray Line, The British Are Coming, The Guns at Last Light, and The Fate of the Day.Patt Morrison – Journalist, author, and longtime Los Angeles Times columnist and broadcaster.Event DetailsAmerica at a CrossroadsMarch 4, 2026Hosted by Jews United for Democracy and Justice

The conservative movement, or what is left of it, is at a generational crossroads. I break down the Texas primary vote to show that although there were some victories, conservatives still underperformed because Baby Boomers continue to support status-quo Republicans. We need a message of pro-humanism vs. transhumanism to bring in younger Republicans to a constructive alternative to the Baby Boomer GOP. Later on, I discuss the shocking reality of the AI and green energy takeover. From Ohio to Oklahoma, state governments are handing over your land and spiking your utility bills to build massive data centers, wind farms, solar arrays, and carbon-capture pipelines. You are footing the bill for a transhumanist, ultra-processed future. It's time to draw the battle lines: Pro-Humanism vs. Transhumanism. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Animal Wellness Podcast, host Joseph Grove examines the mounting scientific and policy concerns surrounding lead ammunition — a persistent environmental toxin with consequences that extend far beyond the hunt. Each year, tons of lead from spent bullets and shotgun pellets are discharged into America's landscapes. On impact, that lead fragments into carcasses and gut piles, where scavenging wildlife — including bald eagles, golden eagles, condors, hawks, ravens, and foxes — ingest toxic shards. The results are often acute poisoning, neurological impairment, reproductive failure, and death. But this is not solely a wildlife conservation issue. Lead is a potent neurotoxin with no safe level of exposure. It does not biodegrade, and it can contaminate meat intended for human consumption while persisting in soil and ecosystems for decades. Joseph is joined by two leading voices at the intersection of science and policy. Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy, discusses the documented toll of lead poisoning on raptors and other wildlife, federal policy debates surrounding National Wildlife Refuges, and the proposed LEAD Act — legislation aimed at reducing toxic ammunition on public lands. Dr. Aisha S. Dickerson, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, brings critical scientific insight into how lead behaves biologically, why even low-level exposure can cause lasting neurological harm, and what environmental neuroepidemiology tells us about risks to both wildlife and humans. Together, they explore: The biological mechanisms of lead toxicity Why there is no safe level of exposure The documented scope of wildlife mortality linked to ammunition fragments Public health implications for communities and families Policy pathways and practical alternatives available to hunters This episode challenges listeners to consider tradition, science, and stewardship — and the responsibility we share in protecting both wildlife and public health. TAKE ACTION Go here to learn more about the effects of lead ammunition and to support the LEAD Act referred to in the show.

THE CROSSROADS is a gripping, family-centered mystery for both loyal fans and newcomers. Readers love Joe Pickett—a likeable, dogged hero who always tries to do the right thing—and this time, his three daughters share the spotlight. Set against the fierce beauty of the modern West, where energy empires, cartels, and powerful families vie for control of the land, Box delivers a timely, emotionally charged thriller about family, loyalty, and the cost of standing for what's right in a world where corruption runs deep.At the heart of C.J. Box's appeal is his creation of game warden, Joe Pickett, an unlikely hero who has nonetheless become one of the most beloved protagonists in contemporary crime fiction. Joe is not a hard-drinking big-city detective or a noir antihero; he's a polite, hard-working game warden in rural Wyoming, a family man who “lives paycheck to paycheck” and is deeply fond of his wife and daughters (no brooding lone wolf clichés here). He's human and fallible – he sometimes screws up, doubts himself, or gets in over his head – but he always tries to do the right thing. That said, he's encountered some very grisly scenes and insane villains. And game wardens are unique because they can legitimately be involved in just about every major event or situation that involves the outdoors and the rough edges of the rural new west.C. J. Box is the #1 New York Times of twenty-six Joe Pickett novels, eight stand-alone novels, and a story collection. He has won the Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and two Barry awards, as well as the French Prix Calibre .38, the Western Heritage Award for Literature, and two Spur Awards. An avid outdoorsman, Box has hunted, fished, hiked, ridden, and skied throughout Wyoming and the Mountain West. He has been executive producer on shows based on his books, including ABC TV's Big Sky and Joe Pickett on Paramount+.#cjbox#speakingofwriterspodcast#authorpodcast#joepickett#bookpodcast

As Off-Center retreats, new players like DIRT, Audacious and Odd Knock bet big on permanent venues and original work In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts Alex Miller and Toni Tresca dive deep into Colorado's booming immersive theatre scene in 2026 — exploring who's building permanent venues, who's pulling back and whether the state's reputation as an immersive hotspot can survive the Denver Center's Off-Center winding down its original programming.Alex also reports back from Mexico City, where traveling mariachi bands and a guy with a falcon hopped aboard his canal boat in Xochimilco — proving that immersive performance is truly everywhere.Later in the episode, Alex sits down with Ren Manley, founding artistic director of Audacious Immersive, who's celebrating 10 years of scrappy, sense-driven theatre and launching a new year-round venue inside a progressive Baptist church in Denver — complete with mythological creatures, weekly RPG nights and magical mocktails.

As consultants and coaches, we know trust is the foundation of any meaningful relationship. And it is especially true in the work we do with our clients. When clients trust us, everything changes. They open up. They share what is really going on. They accept feedback. They take risks. They implement our recommendations. That is when real transformation happens in their careers, businesses, and organizations. Without trust, even if we land the contract, the engagement quietly falls apart. Clients stay guarded. They hesitate. They hold back. The work never reaches its full potential. But here is the deeper question. What if trust does not begin in your discovery call? What if it begins long before that? In this episode, I explore the idea that trust is built at every touchpoint of your brand. Your website. Your messaging. Your positioning. The clarity of your expertise. The way you communicate your purpose. All of it either lowers anxiety and builds confidence, or creates subtle barriers to trust. And not just trust in you. Trust in themselves and their ability to create change. Joining me is Dr. J.B. Adams, executive development strategist and trust researcher, whose doctoral work focused specifically on what builds trust and what breaks it . Together, we unpack why branding is not about looking impressive. It is about creating safety. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Why trust is the real driver of successful consulting and coaching engagements, and why it starts long before the discovery call. The three core elements that build trust and how they apply directly to your brand. How vague positioning quietly erodes credibility, and why clear specialization instantly increases trust. The surprising lesson a skin cancer diagnosis taught me about branding, safety, and client anxiety. Why moving from order taker to strategic partner is essential if you want to build a brand that commands respect and long-term loyalty. If you are a consultant or coach who wants deeper client engagement, stronger results, and more powerful word of mouth, this conversation will shift how you think about your brand.

Are you clearly demonstrating expertise, integrity, and genuine care? Or are there subtle gaps that could be creating hesitation? Move from order taker to strategic partner: Consider where you might be saying yes out of habit instead of alignment.

The crew debates whether the Florida Panthers should even consider bringing back Aleksander Barkov if they fall out of the playoff race, especially with injuries piling up all season long. They also react to rumors of a potential move involving Sergei Bobrovsky, though Jamie isn't buying that a trade is imminent.

As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Mike examines the growing debate inside the MAGA movement over President Trump’s military action against Iran. With missiles flying, American casualties mounting, and critics claiming the U.S. was pulled into the conflict by Israel, Mike asks a blunt question: does striking Iran fit the America First doctrine—or does it risk dividing the Republican base ahead of the midterms? He breaks down comments from Marco Rubio, Benjamin Netanyahu, and prominent conservative voices like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, while pushing back on media narratives that portray a major split among Trump supporters. Throughout the hour, Mike takes calls from listeners across the country to gauge where MAGA voters really stand, arguing that despite online drama, most conservatives still back the decision to confront Iran’s regime and support Trump’s leadership in a dangerous moment for the world.

Lean at the Crossroads: Culture, Community, and Congress with Elizabeth Taylor (Episode 94) In this heartfelt and high-energy episode of Hoots on the Ground with No Bullshido, Adam Hoots sits down with Elizabeth Taylor, National Director of Lean at JE Dunn Construction and 2026 LCI Congress Co-Chair, to talk about leadership, culture, and what it really means to build community in construction. Elizabeth shares her journey from project management to Lean coaching, including her AMAZING Lean experience on the Williston Rec Center project in North Dakota, where living onsite and stumbling through The Last Planner System® created lifelong relationships and a powerful example of what Lean culture can truly look like. The conversation dives deep into: •       The difference between Lean tools and Lean culture •       Why relationships accelerate project performance •       How to move from "doing Lean" to being a Lean organization •       The importance of field-first thinking and supporting trade workers •       What it takes to lead at scale inside a national construction firm Elizabeth also opens up about personal loss, vulnerability, and how the Lean community has supported her during one of the most difficult seasons of her life. This episode goes beyond business, it's about humanity, leadership courage, and creating intentional spaces where people belong. Check out Elizabeth illustrating true vulnerability, live in person as she handles the questions from Hoots. They also preview the 2026 LCI Congress in Atlanta, themed "Lean at the Crossroads: Building the Future Together." Elizabeth shares insights into this year's four tracks: 1.    Next Generation Delivery Integration 2.    Field First Lean: Tools, Flow & Daily Improvement 3.    Becoming a Lean Organization Through Culture & Learning 4.    Whole Team, Whole Project Integration   If you've ever wondered what Congress looks like behind the curtains, whether your story is worth sharing, this episode is your sign to step up. Abstracts are due Thursday, March 5th. Don't wait. Submit to speak here: https://congress.leanconstruction.org/abstract-submission/ This one is part Lean strategy, part leadership masterclass, and part reminder that we can't do life, or construction, alone.   Key Takeaways: •       Lean Is More Than Tools: Last Planner may start the journey, but culture and trust sustain it. •       Relationships Drive Results: Teams that cook dinner together and problem-solve together build projects differently. •       Vulnerability Is Leadership: Real culture change starts when leaders model openness and humanity. •       Field First Matters: Trade workers carry the weight of poor systems—Lean must serve them. •       Lean at Every Level: Personal, project, organizational, and industry-wide transformation are all connected. •       Congress Is Community: LCI isn't just about sessions—it's about conversations, connection, and shared growth.   ABOUT HOOTS ON THE GROUND PODCAST: The Lean Builder's absolutely, positively NO Bullshido podcast.

In this episode of Framework Focus, Dr. Dae Lee breaks down the regulatory and reimbursement shifts reshaping long-term care (LTC) pharmacy. With the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) moving from policy theory to operational reality, Medicare's Maximum Fair Price (MFP) program, Part D redesign, and inflation rebate enforcement are now active forces that LTC operators must navigate. This conversation moves beyond headlines and into real-world implications: cash flow risk, administrative burden, contracting exposure, and strategic readiness for closed-door and combo LTC pharmacies. Key Discussion Points Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Is Now Operational  The IRA authorizes Medicare to negotiate prices for certain high-spend Part D drugs, with the first 10 Maximum Fair Prices (MFPs) effective January 1, 2026. This marks a structural shift in federal drug pricing and directly impacts LTC dispensing economics. Maximum Fair Price and LTC Reimbursement Compression  MFP caps reimbursement on selected drugs, creating potential margin compression if acquisition costs and payment timing are misaligned. For LTC pharmacies operating on tight spreads and high-volume chronic utilization, even small deltas can materially affect profitability. Medicare Transaction Facilitator (MTF) and Payment Timing Risk  The MTF system introduces new payment mechanics between manufacturers, plans, and pharmacies. LTC pharmacies must understand how effectuation and reconciliation work, particularly if payment timing differs from traditional Part D adjudication flows. Cash flow modeling becomes essential. Administrative Complexity and Claims Reconciliation  Identifying which NDCs are subject to MFP, managing claim reversals, handling price disputes, and monitoring plan-level compliance will increase administrative workload. LTC pharmacies will need structured internal workflows to prevent reimbursement leakage. Dispensing Fees and the LTC Service Intensity Problem  Unlike retail, LTC pharmacy includes compliance packaging, emergency kits, cycle fills, consultant pharmacist oversight, and regulatory documentation. Current IRA implementation does not automatically adjust dispensing or supply fees to reflect this complexity, raising sustainability concerns. Congressional Efforts to Stabilize LTC Pharmacy  Legislative proposals such as the Preserving Patient Access to LTC Pharmacies Act aim to create supply fee protections tied to MFP drugs. The episode explores whether policy corrections are likely — and how quickly DC can realistically respond. Expansion of Negotiated Drug Lists  The initial 10 negotiated drugs are only the beginning. Additional rounds of negotiation are underway, expanding exposure across more therapeutic classes. LTC pharmacies must treat MFP as a growing structural feature — not a limited pilot. Part D Redesign and the $2,100 Out-of-Pocket Cap  Beginning in 2026, the redesigned Part D benefit changes liability distribution among plans, manufacturers, and CMS. The new out-of-pocket cap alters plan incentives and may lead to tighter utilization management, formulary shifts, and network recalibration — all of which LTC pharmacies must monitor closely. Inflation Rebates and Market Distortion  The IRA's inflation rebate provisions penalize manufacturers for price increases above inflation benchmarks. While not directly adjudicated at the pharmacy counter, these provisions influence manufacturer pricing strategy, launch pricing behavior, and downstream PBM negotiations — indirectly affecting LTC acquisition costs. Strategic Readiness as a Competitive Advantage  The episode concludes with practical recommendations:  • Conduct an MFP exposure audit across top-dispensed NDCs  • Reassess PBM contracts and network participation clauses  • Model cash flow under delayed reimbursement scenarios  • Educate facility partners on regulatory changes  • Build internal compliance tracking specific to negotiated drugs Why This Matters Now For LTC pharmacies, this is not simply a policy conversation — it is a structural shift in reimbursement architecture. As federal oversight expands and pricing authority evolves, operational precision and legal literacy will define which organizations adapt successfully.

Ephesians 3: The Church Is God's Plan - Step In, Not Out Journey Church shares announcements about a community-wide Easter egg hunt on March 21, candy donations, and an online merch store, then continues its Ephesians series in chapter 3. Jeremy recounts a Guatemala trip where Journey and Church of the Crossroads were recognized for five years of partnership in El La Paro, and shares stories that highlight gratitude and how small acts can have big impact. He explains Paul's “mystery” as what was hidden and now revealed: outsiders are brought near, divisions removed, and everyone invited in through Jesus. Writing from prison, Paul shows God works through weakness, and teaches that God's intent is to display His wisdom through the church. The message challenges treating church as optional and calls people to be present, pursue connection, use gifts, be a bridge, and strengthen inner life through Christ. 00:00 Welcome and Updates 00:17 Community Easter Egg Hunt 01:15 Journey Merch Store 02:18 Ephesians Series Setup 02:55 Guatemala Partnership 04:08 Cold Shower Gratitude 06:07 Soccer Culture Surprise 07:36 Vision Clinic Impact 09:28 Small Moments Big Story 13:08 Mystery of Inclusion 16:56 Tearing Down Dividing Walls 20:25 Paul Writes From Prison 21:25 Purpose in Prison 23:44 Church Displays Wisdom 24:54 Church Failures and Design 27:37 Praying for Inner Strength 29:55 Rooted in Love 32:44 Church Is Essential 33:51 Five Ways to Engage 37:47 One Church Among Many 38:50 Paul's Prayer Revisited 41:28 Step In Together 43:20 Closing Prayer

A lot of us have spent years going to church, reading our Bibles, and learning about God. And when you've spent that much time in church, it's easy to feel like you have God figured out. But what happens when life doesn't go the way you expected, and God doesn't show up the way you thought he would? What if God is always bigger than anything we could ever figure out?

Four hundred investigators. DNA at the scene. Forty thousand tips. And still no suspect.The Nancy Guthrie investigation has reached a critical inflection point—and we're breaking down what comes next.Sources say operations may transition from surge mode to a smaller long-term task force. Two people detained and released with no connection. CODIS returned no match on the DNA. Mixed samples at a Florida lab hitting obstacles. The backpack and gloves found near the scene led nowhere. No vehicle identified. No names being investigated.There's also tension in the official narrative. Some sources suggest the doorbell camera may have captured images on different days—raising the possibility of prior visits. Pima County Sheriff's Department calls that "purely speculative." Bob Motta breaks down what that evidentiary dispute means and why the disconnect between official statements and leaks matters.Then the reward jumped to over 1.2 million dollars. Savannah Guthrie announced the family is offering one million for information leading to Nancy's "recovery." At that number, loyalty in the perpetrator's orbit starts to fracture.Robin Dreeke spent twenty-one years running FBI behavioral analysis programs. He examines what happens psychologically when an investigation transitions from surge to sustained—and what makes someone with dangerous knowledge finally pick up the phone.Someone close to whoever did this has noticed the stress. The fear. What makes them act?We're taking your questions live.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This is a costly mistake!  It leaves significant operational efficiencies and profit opportunities unrealized. This program also invites managers to carefully review their tech vendor invoices to ensure new charges have not been added or that fees have not been quietly increased for features in their software agreements. Kevin Minassian, President of DataScan, notes his company provides a wide range of profit-enhancing services at no additional cost while competitors often add additional fees.
