Welcome back to SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, where Mewhirter is back on a late-night edition breaking down the 2025 Beach Volleyball World Championships, where Thursday turned positively bonkers. Where to start? How about with... - France's Arnaud Gauthier-Rat and Teo Rotar shocking medal favorites Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan - Germany's Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler figuring it out at the right time in a critical upset over Norway's Anders Mol and Christian Sorum - USA Volleyball's Chaim Schalk and James Shaw continuing their Cinderella run with an upset victory over Cuba's Jorge Alayo and Noslen Diaz But then, of course, there was some sense of normalcy, as: - Sweden's David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig swept France's Remi Bassereau and Calvin Aye, while countrymen Elmer Andersson and Jacob Holting-Nilsson swept Andre and Renato - Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson continued their tour de force, as did Brazil's Barbara and Carol and Latvia's Tina Graudina and Anastasija Samoilova - Kelly Cheng and Molly Shaw left no doubt in a convincing win over the Czech Republic, and the Czech men, Ondrej Perusic and David Schweiner, left no doubt in their win over Portugal's Joao Pedrosa and Hugo Campos - Kristen Nuss and Taryn Brasher hang on to beat Raisa Schoon and Katja Stam Close calls were won by... - Evandro and Arthur, who snuck past Marco Krattiger and Leo Dillier - Sven Winter and Lukas Pfretzschner, who battled with Hendrik Mol and Mathias Berntsen - Thamela and Victoria, who slipped past a very talented Ukraine team in Tetiana Lazarenko and Daria Romaniuk And a huge bummer of an event in Ana Patricia and Duda pulling out to injury.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior deliver a sharp, energetic breakdown of the day's biggest stories with their signature mix of humor, heat, and hard truths. They kick off by exposing congressional self-dealing after the House rushes to repeal a shady $500,000 Senate perk, setting off a fiery debate about accountability, FOIA loopholes, and why Congress protects itself faster than it protects the American people. The guys dive into the explosive indictment of Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, unraveling a $5 million FEMA scam tied to campaign laundering and what it reveals about ActBlue-style funding networks. They dismantle a disturbing Democratic video urging the military to defy a future Trump presidency, analyze Trump's blistering response, and debate the deeper implications for chain of command and national security. From drug-smuggling networks and Cuba-to-Tampa trafficking busts to the strategic timing of the Epstein files release, and why Trump may have just sprung the biggest political trap of the decade, this episode moves fast, hits hard, and connects the dots the mainstream won't touch. Hosted by CannCon and Alpha Warrior.

Seattle just elected a socialist mayor with zero leadership experience, and the progressive voters are about to get a masterclass in why socialism always fails. Katie Wilson - former boatyard worker turned mayor - promises to solve the housing crisis by... wait for it... taxing everyone into oblivion! Because nothing says "affordable housing" quite like raising property taxes on that teacher who bought in 2009 for $350K and now sits on a $1.2 million paper fortune she can't spend. Wilson's brilliant plan? Tax big businesses until they flee, then tax homeowners to make up the difference. We've seen this movie before in every socialist experiment - Cuba, Venezuela, you name it. Yet Seattle voters think this time will be different because... reasons? As businesses pack up and rents skyrocket even higher, these same voters will be scratching their heads wondering why their socialist savior made everything MORE expensive. What's your prediction - how long before Seattle residents realize they've been played? Will Wilson's tenure make Bruce Harrell look like a fiscal conservative? Drop your thoughts below, smash that like button if you're ready to watch this trainwreck unfold, and subscribe for front-row seats to Seattle's socialist experiment!

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. # 1282 JFK & the X-Rays that Shatter the Official Story November 22, 1963 wasn't the day democracy died—it was the day it was murdered in plain sight and autopsied with criminal fraud. Physicist Dr. David Mantik returns to Strange Planet with explosive New EVIDENCE - optical density measurements of the original JFK autopsy X-rays, proving beyond doubt that the president's head wounds were surgically altered on film before the body ever reached Bethesda. And, Cold War historian Walter Herbst reveals how the assassination wasn't chaos, but consensus policy born from covert operations and geopolitical necessity. This is the original Deep State “deep-fake”—forged evidence that still controls the narrative today. GUESTS: Dr. David Mantik, MD, PhD – A radiation oncologist and physicist who personally examined the JFK autopsy X-rays and photographs at the National Archives on nine separate occasions. Author of President John F. Kennedy: The Final Analysis, The JFK Assassination Decoded: Criminal Forgery in the Autopsy Photographs and X-Rays, and the groundbreaking new book JFK Was Killed by Consensus. His peer-reviewed optical density data proves the autopsy images were altered—making him the foremost forensic challenger to the official record. Walter Herbst – Cold War historian and author of the landmark two-volume series It Did Not Start With JFK, which traces the intelligence networks, propaganda machines, and Berlin/Cuba crises that made Kennedy's removal official—if unspoken—policy. His latest work, Last Resort Beyond Last Resort, exposes why the assassination guaranteed no second invasion of Cuba and protected NATO's flank in Berlin. Herbst doesn't peddle conspiracy theories; he documents the paper trail of the original Deep State in action.

Dr James Loxton on how modern democracies can crumble as tyrannical leaders take hold, but also how freedom and democracy can rise again, from the Americas to Europe and into Asia.James grew up in stable Canada, where he spent his summers herding sheep in the middle of forest plantations.As a teenager, he hatched a plan to escape his "rough as guts" bush town and the life of a shepherd, moving to India on his own to finish high school.At an international school in Maharashtra, James' classmates taught him about the world outside of democratic Canada, and he became fascinated by military dictatorships and guerilla insurgencies. Later on, years of living in Latin America showed him firsthand how dictators operated, how they are feared and hated, but also revered and loved by some of the people they control.Now James, and many other political scientists, have their eyes turned to America, watching closely to see how the world's most powerful democracy is changing right before our eyes.Authoritarianism: A Very Short Introduction is published by Oxford University Press.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores Donald Trump, Putin, USA, regime, dictators, ICE, Clinton, Epstein, politics, democracy, Chilean presidential election, Russia, China, Taiwan, Philippines, government, globalisation, Latin American politics, Whitlam, dismissal, divisive politics, left versus right, parliamentary versus presidential forms of government, united kingdom, British colonies, Javier Milei, Venezuela, Argentina, Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, Hugo Chavez, Maduro, elitism, drain the swamp, populism, power for the people, tariffs, Peru, Cuba, straw man, Stalin, Hitler, competitive authoritarianism, substance abuse, addiction, alcoholism, alcoholic mothers, homelessness, losing a mother.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this 16 part series. This is Part -15. Events happened in the last 2 days of Che's life - Final Encounter - Captured by Military - Last 24 hours - Got fired in point blank range - What happened on the last day? are covered in this episode.

Look around you: Our communities are filled with people in their 60s, 70s, 80s, even 90s, doing things that would have been unthinkable at their age a generation ago. By 2030, the entire Baby Boomer generation will be 65 and older.  By mid-century, more than 80 million Americans will be over the age of 65.  By any prevailing definition, the United States will be a country full of older adults.  But what does it mean to be old in an era of much longer life?    Welcome to Century Lives: The New Old, from the Stanford Center on Longevity! I'm your host, Ken Stern. In this season, we interview six extraordinary people who are challenging the way we think about aging—and inspiring new ways we can live our supersized lives. Today: Diana Nyad. Her name is synonymous with courage, endurance, and the relentless pursuit of possibility. From Diana's record-breaking swim from Cuba to Florida at age 64, to her trailblazing career as a journalist and motivational speaker, to her latest passion authoring children's books, Nyad continually redefines what it means to test one's limits. She shares her story as a woman whose perseverance has inspired millions to “never, ever give up.”

"Jeg vil ikke udelukke noget som helst. Vi bliver nødt til at tage os af Venezuela!", sagde Trump mandag efter angreb på 21 skibe, der har dræbt mindst 83, som ifølge USA smuglede narko til USA. Og Trump har sendt den største militærstyrke til Caribien siden Cuba-krisen, med verdens største krigsskib. I Venezuela funderer diktatoren Maduro så over, om Trump vil angribe narkokarteller eller vælte ham og hans diktatur - og stramme grebet om endnu en nation i Latinamerika. Og i USA tegner sig et billede af Donald Trumps "Donroe-doktrin" - der skal sikre USA kontrol med den vestlige halvkugle!

(Víspera del Natalicio de José Raúl Capablanca) «Nací en La Habana, la capital de la isla de Cuba, el 19 de noviembre de 1888. Yo no tenía aún cinco años cuando por accidente entré en la oficina privada de mi padre y lo encontré jugando con otro señor. Nunca antes había visto una partida de ajedrez. Las piezas me interesaron, y yo, al día siguiente, regresé para verlos jugar de nuevo. Al tercer día, mientras yo miraba, mi padre, un principiante muy pobre, movió uno de sus caballos de un cuadrado blanco a otro cuadrado blanco. Su adversario, al parecer no mejor jugador, no lo notó. Mi padre ganó, y yo le dije que él era tramposo, y comencé a reírme. Después de una pequeña discusión durante la cual casi me sacó de la habitación, le mostré a mi padre lo que él había hecho. Me preguntó cómo y qué sabía yo sobre el ajedrez. Le respondí que yo podía vencerlo, [y él] dijo que eso era imposible, considerando que yo ni siquiera podía colocar las piezas correctamente. En conclusión, jugamos una partida y gané. Ese fue mi comienzo.»1 Así narra José Raúl Capablanca el comienzo de su vida y de su carrera en su obra titulada Mi carrera ajedrecística. Sin embargo, su acreditado biógrafo Miguel A. Sánchez señala que tal vez Capablanca no haya recordado con certeza lo ocurrido, ya que no concuerda con la entrevista que el periodista cubano Andrés Clemente Vázquez le hizo poco después a esa temprana edad. Según lo publicado en el periódico El Fígaro de La Habana el 8 de octubre de 1893, el niño José Raúl había retado a su padre José María diciéndole: «Si tú quieres perder ahora, juega conmigo». Pero su respuesta acerca de cómo y qué sabía sobre el ajedrez había sido: «Yo me he aprendido las jugadas del general», refiriéndose al jefe de su padre, el general de brigada Emiliano Loño de Pérez, a quien diversas crónicas de la época describían como un apasionado del ajedrez. El periodista Vázquez también dio a conocer que el padre de José Raúl perdía con frecuencia cuando jugaba con su jefe, de modo que el general Loño bien pudiera haber estado enseñándole ajedrez a José María Capablanca cuando su hijo fue testigo de esa lección.2 De cualquier manera, lo cierto es que José Raúl Capablanca fue un niño prodigio que llegó a ser un genio del ajedrez apodado «la máquina humana», y que escribió ese libro en 1920 con el fin de promover su candidatura al título de campeón mundial del ajedrez. Feliz y muy merecidamente para él, dio resultado, ya que el año siguiente no sólo participó en el campeonato, sino que se coronó campeón con su rotunda victoria sobre el entonces poseedor del título supremo, el Gran Maestro alemán Emanuel Lasker.3 ¿En qué se parecen el niño José Raúl y el niño Jesús? ¡En que los dos dejaron asombrados de su inteligencia a sus maestros! Pero, gracias a Dios, si bien casi ninguno de nosotros, por mucho que se esfuerce, es capaz de lograr semejante asombro, todos sí podemos lograr crecer en sabiduría y gozar del favor de nuestros semejantes y de nuestro Padre celestial si determinamos imitar a su Hijo Jesucristo.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 José Raúl Capablanca, Mi carrera ajedrecística, Anotado por el editor Miguel A.

Sir Ben shares how Venezuelan and Colombian drug operatives are now learning high-stakes defense technology.

Paul Chitlik is appearing on StoryBeat for the third time. Paul is a truly gifted storyteller and teacher who has written screenplays, novels, and non-fiction, including writing for all the major networks and studios in both English and in Spanish.   Paul's been a story editor, director, and producer in both TV and features. He was nominated for a Writers Guild of America award for "The Twilight Zone" and a GLAAD Media Award nomination for Telemundo's "Los Beltrán.”  And he won a Genesis Award for a Showtime Family movie. He also happens to be one of the best screenwriting teachers in the world.  He's taught in various MFA programs around the world, including: UCLA and Loyola Marymount in L.A., and in Barcelona, Cuba, Chile, Venezuela, Mexico, and Sweden.  His highly regarded book, Rewrite, is one of the essential, must-read books for anyone interested in writing screenplays, teleplays, plays, and even novels. I've read his latest screenwriting book, The Screenwriting Sensei, which I thoroughly enjoyed because it took me straight back to Graduate School at UCLA when I was one of Paul's numerous students. Paul's teachings have remained exceptionally influential on me for both my own writing and in my subsequent years as a college professor of screenwriting. I highly urge anyone interested in writing for the screen to check out The Screenwriting Sensei.  

Cuban Link is more than just a name in hip hop—he's a storyteller, a survivor, and an artist with a legacy rooted in both pain and perseverance. In this raw, unfiltered episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with Cuban Link to trace the incredible journey from escaping Cuba as a child during the Mariel boatlift to becoming a lyrical force in the Bronx during the golden era of hip hop.At just five years old, Felix Delgado—known to the world as Cuban Link—boarded a crowded boat from Havana to the U.S., escaping political oppression alongside his family. That harrowing journey, filled with danger, violence, and even sharks in the open sea, became the foundation of a life built on survival. From a chaotic refugee camp in Key West to the gritty streets of the South Bronx, Cuban Link's story unfolds like a movie—but it's all real.This episode dives deep into the moments that shaped him—as a man, an artist, and a loyal brother to the late, great Big Pun. Listeners will hear how a chance meeting on a Bronx basketball court sparked one of hip hop's most iconic friendships. Their bond went beyond music—it was a brotherhood forged in shared dreams, competitive spirit, and lyrical respect.From their days freestyling in the streets to forming the Full Eclipse Crew, Cuban Link and Big Pun sharpened each other's skills long before the world knew their names. Eventually, their talent caught the attention of Fat Joe, leading to Cuban's involvement with Terror Squad. But as fame rose, so did tensions. Cuban Link doesn't shy away from discussing the public fallout with Fat Joe, the internal politics of the industry, and the personal heartbreak that came after Pun's death.You'll also hear about:Cuban Link's early rap name (Phil Ski) and his musical evolutionWhy his dad's criminal past actually saved their family during the Mariel exodusHow growing up in Puerto Rico and then the Bronx influenced his voice as an MCHis academic life—graduating with an 85 GPA and even going to college—while living a double life in the streetsThe real story behind the verse he gave to Big Pun for “Still Not a Player”How he went from working overnight shifts to quitting on the spot to appear in his first major music videoThis episode is a time capsule of 90s hip hop, Latino culture in America, and the tension between art and industry. Cuban Link opens up about the joy of early success, the bitterness of betrayal, and the pride of knowing he never compromised his pen. From cracking jokes with Pun at funerals to being name-dropped in some of the era's most iconic verses, his stories are vivid, emotional, and unforgettable.Whether you grew up blasting Capital Punishment on your Walkman or are just discovering the depth of East Coast hip hop history, this episode is required listening. It's more than nostalgia—it's a meditation on what it means to stay true to your art, your story, and your roots.Want to support the show or get involved?Follow I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman wherever you get your podcasts.Leave a rating or review to help others discover the show.Connect with host Luis Guzman and stay updated on future episodes by visiting our official site or subscribing to our newsletter.For behind-the-scenes stories, guest updates, and episode extras, join our mailing list and follow us on all major platforms.This is not just another hip hop podcast.

Desde la capital de Cuba joven que perdió a familiar tras virus habla de la epidemia y la situación sanitaria que impacta la vida de los cubanos.

Noticiero de Martí Noticias presenta un resumen de las noticias más importantes de Cuba y el mundo. Titulares: | Comunidades del oriente cubano siguen sin ayuda tras el paso del huracán Melissa | Expertos desmontan la versión oficial ante relatora de la ONU: La crisis cubana nace de fallas internas, no solo del embargo | Intelectuales denuncian represión tras arresto de William Sosa Marrero por críticas al sistema cubano | Exilio cubano exige a Pedro Sánchez coherencia entre apoyo a Ucrania y vínculos con La Habana | Madre denuncia amenazas de muerte contra preso político Eider Frómeta Allen en cárcel de Boniato, entre otras noticias.

In 1962, the Pentagon presented President John F. Kennedy with a plan so shocking it remained classified for 35 years. The plan? To stage terrorist attacks on American soil, hijack planes, sink ships, and murder U.S. citizens—then blame it all on Cuba to justify a war.This was Operation Northwoods, a real false-flag proposal signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and delivered directly to the Secretary of Defense. It wasn't a theory. It wasn't speculation. It was written, approved—and almost carried out.In this episode, Jeremy Ryan Slate breaks down:

Retired FBI agent Pete Lapp helped capture Ana Montez, a Puerto Rican-born American and UVA alumna who was a senior analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency overseeing the Cuban account. For 17 years, she was also a spy for Cuba and was an avowed communist. Ironically, as many of four of Anna's close family members worked for the FBI and despite Anna's more extreme political views, assumed she was a loyal American. From his book “Queen of Cuba,” Pete relates how Ana was identified as a potential national security risk, secretly investigated, and ultimately apprehended after years of committing espionage. He describes how she transmitted information and also shares his view of her psychology: Withdrawn, lonely, at odds with her father, and driven by her political convictions and personal disagreement with U.S. foreign policy (including its policy towards Nicaragua) rather than financial gain, by which so many other spies have been enticed.Recruited while in college in 1983 during the Reagan administration by Cuban agent Marta Velasquez, (who was also a Puerto Richan-American) Ana's steadfast career rise at the Department of Defense gave her increased access over time to information of value to Castro's Cuba, stopping short of putting agents in personal peril. Cuban intelligence has been chronically underestimated over decades and makes Ana's case a warning example of an organized program to infiltrate critical branches of the U.S. government, along with the recent apprehension of former U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia, Manuel Rocha, whose been identified as a Cuban spy.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

Cuando entendemos que hemos muerto a la ley y vivimos bajo la gracia, nuestra relación con Dios cambia por completo. En este episodio, descubrimos junto a Danny Rojas cómo la unión con Cristo nos libera de la condena y nos capacita para servir en la novedad del Espíritu. Reflexionamos sobre lo que significa obedecer desde el amor y no desde el temor.

Hoy, en Las Noticias Como Son, Amado Gil y José Luis Ramos en tertulia con el periodista José Luis Tan Estrada, comentan el mensaje que envió este domingo el Arzobispo de Santiago de Cuba Dionisio García Ibáñez ante la crisis que se vive en el oriente del país.

Se revelan más testimonios e imágenes de la destrucción del huracán Melissa en Cuba.

Cubano da testimonio de la epidemia que afecta a la población en la isla y habla de fallecidos.

El precio de las divisas ha reflejado un aumento significativo en el mercado informal cubano, el oficialismo no tiene como frenarlo y culpa al portal digital “El Toque” y a EEUU de manipular dicho comportamiento.

Send us a text     Today's episode follows a rockin' day at Heritage UMC as Lilly, Aubrey, and Gianna were the singers at the 9am service and crushed it.  Then, Gianna and Jason Langdon performed a great Popular/For Good/Defying Gravity mashup as the sermon bumper at both services so that following it would surely make Pastor Matt's sermon a total letdown.  Way to go, Gianna...     Beyond that, Pastor Matt shares his political, spiritual, economic, psychological, and theological reflections on his trip to visit Heritage's sister church in Cuba, including the virtues of sharing, extreme hospitality, the value of addressing traumas, and the challenge in believing in both free will and demon posession.     Finally, the host crew gives their reaction to the Doctionary.com word of the year, and the reaction is not positive.

Escucha los mejores casos de la serie de comedia radiofónica cubana LaTremenda Corte, que fue transmitida por décadas en México en las distintasestaciones de Grupo Radio Centro.

Envía tu comentarioAllá por los años cuarenta, se instituyó en Cuba la Comisión de Ética Radial, encargada de prohibir la difusión de todo aquello que atentara contra la moral y las buenas costumbres. Fue así como decenas de piezas musicales, muchas de ellas verdaderos hits, pasaron por la censura. Y, a juzgar por su repertorio de la época, si hubo una agrupación que provocó a los censores verdaderos dolores de cabeza, ese fue el Trío Servando Díaz. En 1939, Servando decide organizar un trío, que llevaría su nombre, con Octavio Cuso Mendoza y Otilio Portal. En particular, Otilio se caracterizaría por sus guarachas, todas cargadas de buena dosis de pimienta y del llamado doble sentido del cubano. Tal cualidad le valió al Trío Servando Díaz el apelativo de Los Trovadores Sonrientes.Corría el año 1945 cuando, en la RHC Cadena Azul, debuta el nuevo miembro del trío, Mario Recio, voz segunda y compositor, quien procedía del Conjunto Kubavana, de Alberto Ruiz. En el 49, se integran al elenco del Show de la Mañana, también de la CMQ, conducido por el propio Iglesias y por Germán Pinelli. Fue esta la etapa dorada del Trío Servando Díaz, cuya popularidad se debió, sobre todo, a las guarachas de su repertorio.Esta vez, en el acostumbrado Calendario Musical de Cuba, el cantante Rolito Rodríguez, La Reina del Guaguancó Celeste Mendoza y el pianista y compositor Orlando de la Rosa.Support the show¡SUSCRÍBETE!: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1702252/subscribe

Habanero habla de la forma en que los cubanos enfrentan la situación epidemiológica que se vive en el país.

This episode traces the Marine Corps' transformation from the late 1800s into the modern force recognized today. It begins with the creation of Parris Island and the evolution of Marine training, from tents and marshland to a world-class recruit depot tested by war, tragedy, and reform. The story moves through Panama, where Marines became America's instrument of order, and into the age of steel ships and global ambition. It follows their battles in Cuba, the Philippines, and across Central America during the Banana Wars, where the Corps learned the lessons of small wars, air-ground coordination, and constabulary duty. Figures like Charles Heywood, John A. Lejeune, and Smedley Butler emerge as the architects of a professional, expeditionary force. By the time the last Marines left Nicaragua in 1933, the Corps had been reshaped, no longer a naval guard but a global instrument of American power, forged in hardship and defined by purpose.

  More than twenty thousand Hispanic Americans served in the Civil War. When Cuban-born Loreta Velázquez's husband would not allow her to join him on the battlefield, she assumed the role of First Lieutenant Harry T. Buford to be near him. Philip Bazaar, born in Chile, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his courageous exploits during the assault of Fort Fisher. The spying efforts of Floridian Maria Dolores Sánchez and her two sisters led to a Union defeat at the Battle of Horse Landing.    Delving into the lives of these individuals, historian A.J. Schenkman, author of Hispanic Americans of the Civil War, published by the History Press in 2025, uncovers this often-overlooked aspect of Civil War history. Hispanic soldiers came from different countries. Mexico had declared its independence from Spain in 1821 and later abolished slavery in 1837. Some soldiers and sailors traced their families to Cuba and Puerto Rico, which were still part of Spain. Or from Spain itself or its other colonies.    In this episode, Schenkman uncovers a bombshell story about New Haven's Augusto Rodríguez, the first known Civil War soldier from Puerto Rico. When this story was published in the Summer 2025 issue of Connecticut Explored magazine, the phone started to ring off the hook. Television news channels and newspapers quickly picked up this remarkable story.  Grating the Nutmeg has covered the courageous Puerto Rican men of the 65th regiment founded in 1899 when Puerto Rico became a United States territory in episode #184 but not someone this early in our military history.   A. J. Schenkman is a New York-based writer. He is a social studies teacher in Ulster County, New York, and a former municipal historian. Schenkman is also author of several books about local, regional, and national history. He currently writes for Litchfield and Dutchess Magazines, as well as the Shawangunk Journal.   To contact A.J.

Una conversación profunda sobre cómo formar una cosmovisión bíblica que se viva, se sufra y se herede: a nuestros hijos, a los jóvenes de la iglesia y a la generación venidera, mirando a Cristo como el modelo perfecto de fe y de sufrimiento.

We kick off friday by traveling to Cuba for a traditional Cubano Sandwich, then the LEGEND Carlos Mencia joins us, as well as comedian Eddie IFFT as they both prepare for their shows this weekend in San Diego. 

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Open for Business! President Donald Trump officially signed legislation reopening the federal government after a 43-day shutdown. The segment opens with audio from Trump at the Resolute Desk, where he criticizes Democrats for what he calls an attempted “extortion” of American taxpayers to fund benefits for illegal immigrants. Clay and Buck analyze the political fallout, questioning whether Democrats will repeat shutdown tactics in 2026 as part of their midterm election strategy. The conversation transitions into a broader discussion on Senate filibuster reform, with Clay advocating for procedural changes to prevent future shutdowns driven by minority party obstruction. Buck adds historical context, referencing past filibuster modifications and the potential consequences of further rule changes. Uncle Bill: All for Nothing A wide-ranging interview with bestselling author and media veteran Bill O’Reilly. Clay and Buck do a deep dive into the political fallout from the recent government shutdown, which O’Reilly attributes to far-left consultants steering the Democratic Party into a failed strategy aimed at making pandemic-era Obamacare spending permanent. He argues that the shutdown hurt millions of Americans and yielded no real gains for Democrats, who now risk being branded as the “mean party” heading into the 2026 midterms. The hosts and O’Reilly also discuss the resurfacing of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, which they believe was used as a distraction from Democratic missteps. The conversation shifts to the 2028 presidential race, where Clay and Buck predict Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the likely Democratic ticket. O’Reilly disagrees, citing Newsom’s poor record in California, including mass outmigration and corruption scandals, and suggests Maryland Governor Wes Moore as a more viable alternative. The trio also debate the dangers of artificial intelligence in politics and media, highlighting the rise of deepfake videos and AI-generated misinformation. O’Reilly references a false image involving President Donald Trump that was cited by Rep. Melanie Stansberry, warning that AI will make it increasingly difficult to distinguish truth from fiction. The hosts call for urgent reform of defamation and libel laws to protect public figures and citizens from malicious AI content. What H-1B Visas Are Supposed To Be The H-1B visa program triggers a contentious exchange between Laura Ingraham and President Trump. Trump defends the need for foreign talent in specialized industries, while Ingraham argues that American workers should be prioritized. Buck provides data indicating that over 750,000 H-1B visa holders are currently working in the U.S., with India accounting for 75% of recent recipients. Clay and Buck debate whether the program is being abused by corporations to undercut American wages and bypass domestic hiring. Buck clarifies that Trump’s comments about lacking domestic talent were aimed at highly specialized roles, such as semiconductor manufacturing, where foreign expertise is temporarily needed. Multiple callers share firsthand experiences with H-1B hires, sparking a robust debate. A computer programmer from California claims foreign workers were paid less despite equal performance. A North Carolina business owner defends the program, citing higher productivity among foreign hires. An engineering manager warns of wage suppression and offshoring trends, while another caller shares how his son’s defense contractor job was outsourced to foreign engineers despite national security concerns. Female Mamdani? Clay and Buck dive into some breaking news, cultural commentary, and audience-driven debate, beginning with reports of a violent incident involving Alina Habba, a U.S. attorney in New Jersey, whose office was attacked by a bat-wielding suspect. Clay and Buck highlight the growing concern over left-wing violence and express relief that Habba is unharmed. They also cover Senator John Fetterman’s hospitalization following a fall caused by a ventricular fibrillation episode, noting his humorous response and drawing parallels to historical political wit. The hour transitions into a critique of Michelle Obama’s recent comments on race and beauty, with Clay and Buck arguing that identity politics are eroding public discourse. They dissect her career trajectory, including her high-paying diversity role at the University of Chicago Medical Center, and question the merit of such positions. This leads into a broader discussion about the Democratic Party’s push for government-run grocery stores, citing examples from Seattle and New York City. Clay and Buck mock the idea as reminiscent of failed socialist models like Cuba, and reference studies—including one from The New York Times—showing that increased access to healthy food does not necessarily change consumer behavior in low-income communities. Clay and Buck argue that food deserts are often misrepresented and that consumer choice, not corporate abandonment, drives product availability. They emphasize the inefficiency of government-run enterprises, citing failed experiments in cities like Kansas City, and warn against policies that ignore market realities. The conversation includes a call from a listener in Rochester, New York, who explains that theft and crime—not lack of demand—are driving grocery stores out of urban areas. The hosts agree, noting that store closures also eliminate local jobs and further destabilize communities.

Clara Barton, the founder of the Red Cross, was in Havana in 1898, investigating the terrible conditions endured by Cubans whom the Spanish government had forced into concentration camps, where an estimated 425,000 people died of disease and starvation. While she was there, the American warship USS Maine exploded in Havana's harbor, which served as the pretext for an American invasion, leading to the Spanish-American War. The United States swiftly invaded and won the Spanish-American War in Cuba in 1898 due to its superior naval power, the decisive charge led by Theodore Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" at San Juan Hill, and the crucial assistance from Cuban insurgents against the already exhausted Spanish forces. In the wake of the Spanish-American war, the United States freed Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines from Spanish control and, in turn, became an empire. This created beliefs that America was a stern yet benevolent country tasked by Destiny to enforce peace and bring prosperity to the world. That comforting thought was soon disproven, especially in the Philippines, whose people discovered they had merely swapped one colonial power for another. They then endured a vicious war that saw an estimated 600,000 Filipino deaths. Whereas the Cuban campaign brought glory to Theodore Roosevelt at San Juan Hill, “the Philippine War would be America’s most quickly forgotten war, the one least celebrated in song or legend, the one least memorialized.” And for good reason, Jackson recounts: American soldiers committed countless atrocities while being felled right and left by disease and starvation themselves; many soldiers committed suicide, and others deserted to join Filipino rebels. Today’s guest is Joe Jackson, author of “Splendid Liberators: Heroism, Betrayal, Resistance, and the Birth of the American Empire.” We look at this decisive war that turned American into a global power, and how poor planning turned into a disaster in the Philippines, creating our first quagmire of a war, long before Iraq or Vietnam.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
