Welcome to the Black Dragon Biker TV New Year's Biker News Podcast! We're kicking off 2026 with the latest stories shaking up the MC world. I'm your host, bringing you straight talk on these headlines—no BS, just the facts.Two Charged After Stabbing Involving Pagan's Motorcycle Club Members (Tazewell, Tennessee)Late December 2025: A large group of Pagan's MC affiliates rolled into Catdaddy's Market in Tazewell. Things turned ugly fast—one guy stabbed in the chest, airlifted to UT Medical Center. Police chased fleeing bikers across county lines; one crashed hard.Arrests: Patrick "Troy" Warren (34, Cleveland, TN) and Christopher Hughes (45, Johnson City) charged with aggravated assault (Hughes also aggravated kidnapping/robbery). Both wore Pagan's colors.This incident sparked broader concerns about outlaw MC activity in East Tennessee—rare but raises eyebrows when it hits. Investigation ongoing with TBI and THP.2 & 6. Biker Brawl at Jolly Dolphin Leads to Lifetime Bans (Jeffreys Bay, South Africa)Boxing Day 2025 turned into a full-on fistfight at the Jolly Dolphin pub. Viral video shows rival bikers (rumored Crusaders vs. Macs) throwing punches, glasses flying, chaos on the floor.Police contained it—no criminal cases opened (no complaints filed). Venue management: "All involved permanently banned." Increased security, apology issued—urging holidaymakers to keep coming.Wild one overseas—reminder that booze + rivals can ignite anywhere.3. Claims of Bryant Police Captain's Possible Ties to Bandidos Led to Detective's Firing (Bryant, Arkansas)Former Detective Shanna Hastings sued the City of Bryant, Chief Carl Minden, and Mayor Chris Treat (December 2025). Claims retaliatory firing after raising concerns about Captain Nate Johnson's alleged Bandidos ties during a bar disturbance investigation.Hastings says she reported suspicions to prosecutor/superiors—terminated shortly after for "insubordination." Lawsuit alleges First Amendment/whistleblower violations.City hasn't responded yet. Highlights tensions when lines blur between LE and MCs.4. Thug Riders Motorcycle Club Member Pleads Guilty to RacketeeringOngoing federal RICO case against Thug Riders MC (Dayton, Ohio area). Latest: Brent Egleston ("B-Easy") pleaded guilty to attempted assault with dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering (December 2025).Part of broader indictment (murder, shootouts, arson). 10+ members already pled guilty; sentences 15-36 months so far. Club labeled violent outlaw gang.5. Outlaw Motorcycle Club Incident Sparks Concerns in East TennesseeTies directly to the Pagan's stabbing/chase in Tazewell. Local reports highlight renewed worries about outlaw MC presence/activity in the region—though experts say most clubs are lawful riding groups.7. Judge Rules Against Gang Expert Testimony in Iron Wings Motorcycle Club Assault Hearing (Erie, Pennsylvania)In the 2024 Saga Club assault case (16 Iron Wings charged with attacking Varangians MC rivals), judge barred prosecution's gang expert from testifying at preliminary hearing.Defense argued prejudicial/irrelevant; judge agreed. Weakens "organized gang" angle for now—hearing proceeds without expert.That's the rundown for early 2026—plenty of heat from Pagan's action to courtroom battles. What stands out to you?

He lived during the years when Constantinople was held in captivity by the Crusaders, and the Imperial government was in exile in Nicaea. Simon fled the world at a young age and traveled to the Holy Mountain, where he submitted himself to a strict but wise Elder for many years. In time, seeking greater seclusion, he moved to a small cave on the western side of Mt Athos, near a cliff that towered a thousand feet above the sea. One night, a few days before the Feast of the Nativity, he saw a star move across the sky and come to rest above the cliff near his cave. Taking this as a demonic delusion, he ignored it; but on the Eve of Nativity, the star once again took its place above the cliff, and Simon heard a voice from heaven saying 'Be in no doubt, Simon, faithful servant of my Son! See this sign, and do not leave this spot in search of greater solitude as you have in mind, for it is here that I want you to establish your monastery, for the salvation of many souls.' Soon afterward, three young monks from wealthy Macedonian families, who had heard of the Saint's holiness, came and laid their wealth at his feet, asking that he accept them as disciples. Simon sent for builders and ordered them to construct a monastery on the very edge of the precipitous cliff. The builders at first refused, saying the work was much too dangerous; but, persuaded by a miracle worked through the Saint's prayers, they were convinced. As soon as the building was finished, the monastic community began to grow rapidly. In his own lifetime St Simon was the source of many miracles, prophecies and healings. Once the monastery was attacked by Saracen pirates. Simon went to meet them with gifts, hoping to dissuade them from attacking. When the pirates attacked him, they were blinded, and the arm of one of them was paralyzed when he attempted to strike the Saint. All of them were healed when the holy man prayed for them, and at this wonder they all repented, received Baptism and became monks. Saint Simon reposed in peace. A fragrant, healing balm afterwards flowed from his tomb in great quantities, so that he came to be called Myroblytis, 'Myrrh-gusher' or 'Outpourer of Myrrh.' In subsequent years, the monastery was destroyed and rebuilt more than once, and no trace now remains of the tomb.

Oxidative stress is happening in your body every single day, but when it builds faster than your body can manage it, it quietly drives fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, premature aging, immune dysfunction, and more.In this mini episode of Everyday Epigenetics: Raw, Real, Relatable, Susan Robbins breaks down oxidative stress in a way that actually makes sense, and more importantly, shows you how to work with your biology instead of fighting it.In this episode:What oxidative stress really is (and why Susan compares it to rust on a car)The most common lifestyle, environmental, and internal drivers behind itEarly and advanced symptoms, from low energy and brain fog to inflammation, skin issues, mood changes, and slow healingWhy “doing all the right things” can still leave oxidative stress uncheckedHow the six health types respond differently to oxidative stress, and what each one needs to restore balanceSusan walks through practical, real-world strategies tailored to Activators, Connectors, Guardians, Diplomats, Sensors, and Crusaders — covering nutrition, movement, stress recovery, detox support, mitochondrial health, and supplementation (without the influencer hype).You'll also hear universal practices that everyone can use to reduce oxidative load, protect cellular health, and support longevity, without extreme diets, overtraining, or perfection.Oxidative stress is a normal part of life. But when it becomes excessive, it's your body's signal that something is out of balance, and that balance is absolutely something you can restore.If you're ready to understand your body better, personalize your health approach, and stop guessing, this episode is for you.RESOURCES:Show notes: https://healthyawakening.co/2025/12/19/episode102Visit the website: healthyawakening.co/podcastFind listening links here: https://healthyawakening.co/linksConnect with Susan:Check out Susan's NEW E-book!

Since Paladins were announced as the next class to join the roster in Diablo 4 in its next expansion Lord of Hatred -- and already playable with preorder -- Matt and Joe sat down this week to chat about both, but mostly Paladins and their history within the franchise. First, they dive into the place of Paladins within the franchise as contrasted by other classes. Blizzard seems to be cribbing heavily from Diablo 2, with almost all the classes from that game now available in D4. They touch on Paladins from D2, their famous fall, and how that led to the Crusaders from Diablo 3.The story we see in the cinematic also has our Paladin facing off against Mephisto while he inhabits Akarat's body, which he possessed at the end of the previous expansion, Vessel of Hatred. Akarat being one of the founders of the faith the Paladin belongs to, this is a deeply interesting contrast -- as well as a personal religious crisis in the making.

In this episode, we're talking real faith, real stewardship, and real maternal health equity. I sat down with Leah Hairston—Baltimore doula, CEO & Founder of Sweet Bee Services, social worker, maternal health advocate, and daughter of a pastor—to explore what it truly means to care for the temple God has given us by investing in support before, during, and after childbirth.From navigating racial disparities in the medical system to understanding the emotional, mental, and financial toll of an unprepared birth experience, Leah breaks down why doula care isn't a luxury. It's wise stewardship, preventive financial strategy, and spiritual protection for mothers, partners, and families. Through education, emotional attunement, birth preparation, postpartum support, and advocacy, her team at Sweet Bee Services helps families move from fear to confidence—and maintains a 10-year 100% survival rate for high-risk clients.You'll Discover:1. The Financial Return of Doula Care - Preventing unnecessary interventions, avoiding overspending on baby items, reducing readmission, and catching life-threatening conditions early—doulas save families thousands in medical bills, time away from work, and mental health costs.2. Why Birth Support Is a Spiritual Assignment - Leah explains how childbirth is one of the most vulnerable spiritual seasons of a woman's life.

The Assassins and the Templars. Two groups that are now part of popular legend–and not just because of Assassin's Creed, the massive video game franchise starring the former as its heroes, and the latter as its villains. Steve Tibble takes on both these groups in his new book Assassins and Templars: A Battle in Myth and Blood (Yale UP, 2025). Steve takes us to the time of Crusades: a more crowded and dangerous Eastern Mediterranean, where varied groups–not just the Crusaders–jostled for power and influence. And he joins today to share how these two groups rose and, eventually, fell. Steve Tibble is honorary research associate at Royal Holloway, University of London. He is the author of The Crusader Armies: 1099–1187 (Yale University Press: 2016), The Crusader Strategy: Defending the Holy Land (Yale University Press: 2020), Templars: The Knights Who Made Britain (Yale University Press: 2023), and Crusader Criminals: The Knights Who Went Rogue in the Holy Land (Yale University Press: 2024).

We begin this episode of DXP with a discussion about how frustrating Jason finds the premise of the new show, Pluribus. We briefly discuss the bizarre (but frightening if true) allegation by Candace Owens that the French government has ordered her assassination, and then talk about whether the Epstein files will end up being a big nothing burger. We dig in to a breaking story about a Zionist pastor's valiant crusade for Israel (there's a huge wrinkle to this story by the way), and then play a couple voicemails about previous AI conversations. We conclude with "Pastor Jack's Off."
