Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs had the effect of creating a type of unelected government, giving unelected national associations power over government agencies and over policy, which is being described in a new report as a type of “shadow government” that subverted the system.We'll discuss this topic and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Trump's decision to highlight the D.C. crime bubble and deploy the National Guard provides him with a chance to actually bring back Reagan's views on crime. Sadly, Republicans have bought into the jailbreak agenda that is responsible for this crime wave. Today, I focus particularly on the problem of juvenile crime and the lack of deterrent. We're joined by crime expert Sean Kennedy, who explains how urban police departments like D.C. are downgrading and not recording crimes, thereby allowing public data to show a drop in crime, which conflicts with the reality on the streets. He explains how well-funded “right-leaning” groups take Soros cash to push weak-on-crime laws in red states while feigning outrage over Soros prosecutors pushing the same policies. Finally, I offer over a dozen ideas for red states to get tougher on crime.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of Pharmacy Crossroads, Bruce Kneeland shares examples of simple, effective and affordable marketing, advertising and management tools he has seen others use.  The real lesson, according to Kneeland, is that marketing is essential to a modern pharmacies success. But he also feels that not all marketing need involve buying ads or spending large sums of money.  Grass Roots Marketing, that is getting out, being creative and responding to local opportunities is a great way to grow.

If you care about the future of the LCMS, you won't want to miss this one.Your perspective matters, let's have discussion that honors Christ! New LCMS data reveals a stunning reality: nearly three-quarters of congregations worship fewer than 100 people each week.

On "The Tara Show," the host provides a comprehensive look at what he sees as the critical challenges facing the United States, from domestic policy to international relations. The show features an extensive discussion of the president's federal crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., which the host frames as "Liberation Day." He argues that the city's high crime rates are not accidental but a result of deliberate "Marxist" policies that have been covered up through the manipulation of crime statistics by D.C. officials. The host supports this claim with an interview clip from the head of the D.C. Police Union, who expresses support for the federal intervention. The show extends this critique to other Democrat-run cities and international leaders, linking their policies to a broader ideological agenda. The show also explores the theme of political and economic deception, praising the president's appointment of Dr. E.J. Antoni to the Bureau of Labor Statistics as a move to restore integrity to economic data that the host alleges was previously fabricated for political purposes. He also discusses the ongoing trade war with China, attributing the U.S.'s vulnerability to a long-standing dependence on Chinese rare earth minerals. The host praises the administration's efforts to regain energy independence by reviving domestic coal projects. Throughout the show, the host repeatedly criticizes Republican Senate leadership, specifically Senator John Thune, for blocking the president's appointments, which he describes as a political "hostage situation." The episode ultimately frames these issues as a struggle for America's future, where political and economic honesty are pitted against a globalist, "Marxist" agenda.

How a Lagoon City Became a Crossroads of Cultures Venice is often celebrated for its shimmering canals, magnificent architecture, and enduring romance. But during the Renaissance, this improbable city built in a lagoon was more than just a beautiful backdrop—it was one of Europe's most important hubs for commerce, culture, and, above all, migration. And this extended to Venetian cuisine, a direct product of migration....

We've hit another milestone in our podcast journey: 75 episodes. At the same time, we find ourselves at a bit of a crossroads, which is leading us to prepare to take a hiatus. Join host CH as she reflects on the life journal podcast journey so far - sharing immense gratitude for our loyal community of C17'ers. She also shares the reasons why we feel we need to take a break and reassess the direction of the show as we navigate the ever-changing 2025 socio-political climate, and its impact on how we aim to share the personal narratives on which this podcast was founded. This episode is still in the vein of being a warm hug to our listeners, and still encouraging self-care and kindness amidst all of these very challenging times. Whether you are just finding us for the first time or have been with us from the beginning, we invite you to join us in celebrating our 75th episode ... even if it might be our last for a while.   Show Notes In this episode, CH references Boston College professor and historian, Heather Cox Richardson. For those interested, Heather has a Substack called, "Letters from an American" as well as a YouTube channel. Highly recommend for those seeking a historical, grounded perspective on various topics - none the least of which is the current climate in the United States (as of July 2025).

In today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, the AgMeter and Josh McGill dove deep into the challenges and opportunities shaping California's almond industry, joined by Darren Rigg of Minturn Nut Company. Despite market turbulence, Darren shared a cautiously optimistic view for the coming harvest season. After a rollercoaster of pricing over the past few years—marked by suppressed returns and fluctuating global demand—Rigg emphasized that 2025 may finally offer a glimmer of hope, thanks in part to California's ideal growing conditions this spring and summer. The episode tackled the impact of a recent 3 billion-pound crop estimate, which spooked the market and dropped prices. Rigg stressed that the estimate was just that—an estimate—and urged growers not to panic. Encouragingly, lower prices reenergized buyer demand, creating the potential to rebound like last year, when almond prices hit their highest point in a decade. Rigg explained how international trade dynamics and tariffs have created significant uncertainty. While exports remain vital—70 to 90% of Minturn's business is overseas—demand from countries like China has sharply declined since 2017. However, new markets in North Africa, the Middle East, and Turkey are stepping up to fill the gap. The discussion also highlighted the vital importance of water access, domestic almond marketing, and the shelf life advantage of California-grown almonds. With freight and labor issues less problematic than in past years, Darren believes the almond industry is positioned to adapt, provided policy makers, marketers, and growers work together. Josh and the AgMeter closed the episode by emphasizing the resilience of California growers and the superior quality of California almonds. As Darren put it, “We're one trade deal away from making 3 billion pounds of almonds profitable again.” If there's one takeaway from today's show, it's this: the almond industry is still in the fight—and the road ahead, while uncertain, may just lead to better days for California farmers.

State and county fairs have long been a bridge between rural and urban. But as our society drifts further from production agriculture, that bridge is under pressure — financially, culturally, and politically. From rising costs to volunteer burnout, lack of participation to being a political football… So how do we refocus? How do we, in the ag industry, protect these events that tell our story. Today, Jeremy Parsons from the Iowa State Fair and Taylor Pulfer with the State Fair of Texas join me as we discuss… What's the future of our county and state fair? And what's our role in making sure they can continue for future generations?   #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #kline #RioMax #ManSaver #Gelbvieh #TankToad #WorkingRanchRadio #countyfairs #statefair #agriculturematters #4H #FFA #agvocate #fairgrounds #youthinag #saveourfairs #agricultureeducation #ruralamerica #westernlifestyle #supportlocalag #futureofag

In this powerful compilation of commentary, callers and hosts confront the defining struggles of our time—foreign threats, government corruption, and the silencing of dissent. From rising tariffs and supply chain pressures to the weaponization of biowarfare and fentanyl by China, the case is made for a complete trade and strategic break from the CCP. Meanwhile, tech platforms like YouTube and Facebook face scrutiny for systematically censoring voices under the guise of copyright violations, as globalist institutions push Elon Musk to comply with EU speech controls. Domestically, concerns grow over the erosion of civil liberties, media bias, and political double standards. A rallying cry emerges for Americans to reclaim control—by voting out corruption at the local level, demanding transparency, and refusing to surrender free expression. It's a wake-up call for a nation teetering between survival and submission.

In the Twentieth Century, Chicago's Midway Airport had a sign that read “Crossroads of the World,” and during its heyday Midway literally was the aviation center of the world.  From a historical perspective the same has been true for Chicago reaching back a century earlier as a critical hub of the railroads, during the Industrial Age as a center for trade and manufacturing, and for centuries before a meeting place for uncounted generations of Native Americans.   The geographic reality was that where the Chicago river and estuaries of the Chicago region meet the southwest corner of Lake Michigan attracted indigenous peoples, Potawatomi, Miami, Anishinaabeg, Ho-Chunk, or Sauk and assuredly others portaging the divide, arriving by canoe or on foot.  Sometimes they stayed for a while or moved with the migration of the game and seasonal changes. Hence this place called Chicago despite the low lying, swampy, muddy, and unattractive ground due to it's elemental location and convenient waterways has continued for centuries to be a key to the continent. This juxtaposition has spawned innumerable books on Chicago. In this episode we talk with author and Associate Professor of History John William Nelson Ph.D. about his recently published book Muddy Ground; Native Peoples, Chicago's Portage, and the Transformation of a Continent. This exhaustive history underpinned by impressive research re-enforces the basic fact that geography frequently dictates the destiny of an area and out of this meeting place and important key transportation link to the continent this muddy ground eventually gave rise to a mighty city.  Dr. Nelson's book brings important new insights and a fresh perspective on the Canon of portage history for Chicago to offer the reader a fresh perspective of the region and its importance for Native Americans and foundational story of Chicago's origin and settlement.

In Part Two of this powerful conversation, Renee and Dr. Anthony Mazzella dive into the subtle but life-changing difference between guilt and shame—and why confusing the two can keep you stuck in cycles of self-blame, anxiety, and emotional paralysis.

This is the emotional fork in the road: one path leads to healing. The other keeps you stuck in someone else's story.
