Right whale baby boom is giving scientists and conservationists a rare moment of hope, but it comes with a hard question: is this surge in newborn calves enough to save one of the most endangered whales on Earth? With only around 360 North Atlantic right whales left, every birth matters, and this episode breaks down why this moment is so important and why the clock is still ticking. North Atlantic right whale recovery has been painfully slow for decades due to ship strikes, fishing gear entanglement, and shifting ocean conditions. In this episode, we explore what led to 21 calves being born this season, how researchers track these whales, and why human activity remains the biggest threat to their survival, even during a year that feels hopeful. Whale conservation efforts are finally showing signs of progress through vessel slow-down zones, new fishing gear technology, and cross-border cooperation. One of the most emotional insights from this episode is that some female right whales are giving birth for the first time in years, a sign that protection efforts can work if they are strengthened and enforced.

BECOMING A COACH WHO LEADS THEIR TIME- One of the fastest ways to lose authority as a coach is to live from the phrase “I don't have time.” In this episode, we talk about why self leadership always comes before client leadership and how time management is less about systems and more about personal agency. You will learn why shifting from “I don't have time” to “I don't make time” moves you out of a victim mindset and into ownership, clarity, and power. This conversation is about learning to lead yourself well so you can teach what you actually live. Key Takeaways: • Coaches must practice what they ask clients to do, especially when it comes to time and priorities. • “I don't have time” removes agency, while “I don't make time” restores choice and responsibility. • Wherever you give your time, you are also giving your mindset, emotions, energy, and will, and that investment always creates results. Action Guide: Pay attention this week to when you say or think “I don't have time.” Pause and restate it as “I am not making time for this right now.” Notice what that reveals about your values, priorities, and beliefs. Decide on one area where you will intentionally make time, not because it is easy, but because it aligns with the leader and coach you want to become.

You all have been moms a long, long time, and I am a newer mom. My first child, now age 3, was born with a disability…and I just can't decide if I should have more kids or not. How did you decide?”In this conversation, Jessica Patay, Susanna Peace Lovell, and Dr. Zoe Shaw respond with honesty, compassion, and deep respect for how complex this decision can be. They talk about the emotional weight of choice through the lens of their own experience, the role of grief and hope, and how different phases of parenting call for different questions. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all answer, they explore how to listen to your values, your capacity, and your support system- while giving yourself permission to take your time and trust that there is no “right” answer, only the one that is right for you and your family.Keep the questions coming—we're here to support you.

There is a great opportunity to lead more effective and engaging team meetings. Jason is joined by author and organizational behavior specialist, Rebecca Hinds, for a profound conversation about elevating meeting culture. Jason is joined by leading expert on organizational behavior, Rebecca Hinds, PhD, for a tactical conversation on how to transform meetings from a reactive default into your most valuable organizational product. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: In an era of chronic calendar bloat, how do high-performing teams regain their focus and drive results? In this episode of The Thermostat, Jason V. Barger sits down with Rebecca Hinds, PhD—founder of the Work Innovation Lab at Asana and the Work AI Institute at Glean—to discuss the "epidemic" of unproductive meetings. Rebecca challenges leaders to stop "spending" time and start "investing" it by treating every meeting as a carefully designed product intended to build culture and drive decision-making. Moving beyond typical time-management advice, Jason and Rebecca explore the psychology of the "meeting suck reflex" and the social pressures that keep dysfunctional meetings on the calendar. They introduce actionable frameworks like the "4D CEO Test" to determine if a meeting deserves to exist and the "Meeting Doomsday" strategy for resetting organizational habits. From the science of equal airtime to the strategic use of AI and analytics, this episode provides a blueprint for executives to optimize collaboration. Essential listening for C-suite leaders, managers, and anyone navigating the future of work, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on intentionality, corporate culture, and the art of the "Best Meeting Ever". Episode Notes & Timestamps: Intro: Jason introduces the core concept: meetings are the most important, yet least optimized, product in any organization. Meet Rebecca Hinds: An introduction to Rebecca's background at Stanford, Asana, and Glean, and how her career as a competitive swimmer shaped her view of high-performing teams. Meetings as a Product: Rebecca explains why we must apply product development principles—like user-centric design—to our internal communication. The "Meeting Doomsday" Reset: A deep look at the radical strategy of deleting all recurring meetings to rebuild a more intentional and productive calendar. The Jolt of Intentionality: Why changing a meeting from 30 minutes to 27 minutes can shift a team's mindset from the status quo to active engagement. Minimalist Design: Rebecca outlines four dimensions for leaner meetings: length, attendee list (the "stakeholders vs. spectators" rule), agenda items, and frequency. Measuring Effectiveness: How to use return on time investment (ROTI) and AI analytics to track speaking balance and multitasking. The 4D CEO Test: A two-part filter to determine if a meeting is necessary: Does it Decide, Debate, Discuss, or Develop? Is it Complex, Emotional, or a "One-Way Door"? The Future of Work: Jason and Rebecca discuss the importance of intentionality and "fresh starts" when designing corporate culture for 2026. Key Takeaways for Leaders: User-Centric Meetings: Design meetings for the attendees' needs, not just for the organizer's convenience or for those who talk the most. The Power of the Reset: Periodically "cleanse" your communication stack to eliminate outdated social contracts and unproductive habits. Strategic Communication: Use synchronous meetings for complex, high-stakes, or emotionally intense topics; use digital tools for everything else. Listen to the full episode and access show notes at: https://jasonvbarger.com/podcast/best-meeting-ever-rebecca-hinds/ Bio: Jason Barger is a husband, father, speaker, and author who is passionate about business leadership and corporate culture.

FOX Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt breaks down the Big Ten's schedule release and gives out his winners and losers of the conference's “schedule lottery.” He explains which under-the-radar teams' schedule could propel them to a big season and which schedules will force teams to fight to stay above water. He then ranks his top 5 games for the upcoming season as teams like Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon, Indiana, Penn State and USC all set for key matchups in the conference. Klatt gives his analysis of Ohio State's hiring of Arthur Smith as the new OC and what it means for Ryan Day and the Buckeye offense as well as USC's hiring of former TCU Head Coach Gary Patterson to lead the Trojan defense this upcoming season.

This podcast is all about the last 4 hours of your day, everyday.   There is so much focus on morning routines. What time you wake up, what you drink, what you journal, what workout you do, what affirmation you say.   But the truth is, your day doesn't start in the morning.  Your day starts the night before.   Most of us begin the day with good energy, good intentions, and some level of clarity. But by the end of the day, we are tired. We are mentally full. We have made hundreds of decisions. We don't have the same motivation, discipline, or emotional capacity.   And that is exactly why the last four hours matter so much.   If there is no system for the end of your day, you default to your phone, wandering around, tinkering in the kitchen, the noise, the chaos, the scrolling, and this low level stress that never really shuts off.   What if instead, you had a plan for the last four hours of your day.   The way you end your day determines how you sleep. How you sleep determines how you wake up. How you wake up determines how you show up. And how you show up determines the quality of your life.   This episode is about designing the last four hours of your day so your life feels calmer, your mornings feel clearer, your relationships feel more connected, and your body and mind actually get the recovery they need.   We are going to walk through how to build a simple last four hours plan, what it should include, and how to follow it even when you're exhausted.   Because stress is not just emotional. It's biological. And protecting your peace is not optional. It's foundational.   So let's talk about how to intentionally design the last four hours of your day and why it might be the most powerful life upgrade you haven't made yet.   Not a productivity plan. Not a hustle harder plan.   A life design plan.   A plan that supports high quality sleep. A plan that prepares tomorrow before it gets here. A plan that builds connection instead of distance. A plan that helps your nervous system come down. A plan that lets you clock out from output and clock into recovery.   Jesse Itzler says that your morning self is counting on your evening self. And I love that because it's true. Your tired self should not be running your life. Your intentional self should be protecting your future self.     ***Why the Last Four Hours Matter   • Energy and willpower are lowest at the end of the day • Without a plan, we drift • Drifting usually leads to scrolling, snacking, low level anxiety, and unfinished mental loops • The last four hours directly affect ◦ Sleep quality ◦ Emotional regulation ◦ Relationship connection ◦ How you wake up • When evenings are chaotic, mornings are reactive • When evenings are intentional, mornings are peaceful     ***The Reframe: This Is Not About Doing More   • This is not about squeezing productivity out of every minute • This is about clocking out from output and shifting into recovery • The last four hours are for ◦ Decompression ◦ Nervous system regulation ◦ Reflection ◦ Connection ◦ Preparation • Jesse Itzler teaches that planning the next day at night removes decision fatigue from the morning • Your tired self should not be making big life decisions • Your clear evening self should be protecting your future self     ***The Core Pillars of a Powerful Last Four Hours   -Preparation for Tomorrow   • Write down tomorrow's plan • Appointments, priorities, and non negotiables • Identify your top three outcomes for the next day • Decide what "a win" looks like before you go to sleep • Lay out clothes, bags, or materials when possible • Jesse Itzler's core idea: when you wake up, you should already know exactly what you're stepping into     -Body and Mind Recovery   • High quality sleep starts long before your head hits the pillow • Evenings should signal safety and shutdown to the nervous system • Examples ◦ Hot bath or shower ◦ Stretching or gentle movement ◦ Skincare or body care rituals ◦ Reading instead of scrolling ◦ Breathwork or prayer • This is where longevity, hormones, mood, and mental clarity are built • Stress is not just emotional. It is biological     -Connection and Presence   • The last four hours are prime time for relationships • Conversation without devices • Time with your kids, partner, or yourself • Unpacking the day • Celebrating wins • Laughing • Being seen and seeing others • This is where emotional safety and closeness are built     -Light Closure and Organization   • Small resets prevent big overwhelm • Ten minutes a night beats weekend purges • Examples ◦ Resetting the kitchen ◦ Tidying a room ◦ Prepping coffee ◦ Organizing a bag • Order in your environment creates order in your mind • You are either setting tomorrow up or stealing from it       ***How to Stay Consistent When You're Tired   • You will not always feel motivated • That is why you need a written plan • The plan becomes your autopilot • On hard nights ◦ Lower the bar, do not quit ◦ Shorten the routine ◦ Protect sleep first ◦ Still plan tomorrow • Consistency beats intensity • Repetition turns effort into identity   It's time to make your list!!   Remember…  ◦ The last four hours are not throwaway time ◦ They are design time ◦ They are recovery time ◦ They are relationship time ◦ They are future building time   It's such a powerful way to enjoy more fulfillment & joy in your life.   CHEERS to your best 4 hours of the day, everyday! 

Every January, I take a step back and talk about trends in independent retail. But this year, I'm doing it differently. Instead of a long list of what's "in" or "out," I'm sharing the six lenses I use to make sense of retail trends and decide what actually matters for a real, independent store. In this episode, I look back at past trend conversations, explain how these six lenses emerged, and walk through real examples, like AI and short-form video, to show how the same trend can be a yes for one store and a no for another. If you're tired of chasing trends and want a steadier way to think about 2026, this episode is for you.

Headlines shout layoffs and AI disruption, but the real friction most teams feel right now is slower and sneakier: bureaucracy. Lone Rock Leadership's co-founder Russ Hill zooms out from the noise and gets specific about why mid-level layers are shrinking, how meeting creep drains momentum, and what leaders can do this quarter to cut delays without cutting trust. If you've sat through a pre-meeting for a pre-meeting, this conversation is your playbook for getting time and energy back.Russ grounds the topic with context from Amazon and other tech firms, separating overhiring corrections from the still-emerging impact of AI. From factory floors to corporate hubs, the machines aren't replacing people at scale yet; what's stalling progress is indecision, unclear owners, and approvals stacked five deep. He shares field-tested tactics from coaching executive teams across industries: mapping value streams to find bottlenecks, collapsing decision layers, and standardizing one-page briefs that replace bloated status updates. You'll learn how to identify high-leverage activities, protect deep work, and shift meetings from ritual to results.This episode focuses on practical structure and process changes you can run now. Set clear decision rights, move reversible choices to the edge, and use time-boxed experiments to gain speed safely. Lead with clarity by choosing fewer priorities, naming owners, and celebrating fast, well-reasoned decisions. The outcome is a team that moves faster, feels informed, and builds market value—even as AI and volatility reshape the landscape. Subscribe, share with a teammate who's drowning in meetings, and leave a quick review to tell us where bureaucracy hits you hardest.--Visit the Lone Rock Leadership Website:https://www.lonerock.ioConnect with me on LinkedIn or to send me a DM:https://www.linkedin.com/in/russleads/Tap here to check out my first book, Decide to Lead, on Amazon.

IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET This is a one  -  day music festival and arts market that will take place on Sunday, March 8, 2026 at The Lost Druid Brewery in Avondale Estates, GA, 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta. There are four bands performing at the festival. I am performing one show solo and one show with May Will Bloom, where my daughter takes the lead. Kinnfolk will join us as well as I mentioned last week. But the final band performing at the festival is a 3  -  piece version of The Muckers, our local Celtic punk band. That will complete our lineup. Follow our event page on Facebook for more details. Or Follow us for Free on our Patreon page. Now my next goal is to raise $2500 so that all of the bands are paid a decent wage and to promote our first  -  ever Celtic festival. To that end, I added three new rewards for Kickstarter. Each is a chance to sponsor individual bands at the festival. When you do, you'll get one of the first album pins from each of these amazing Celtic bands. That's because we are highlighting album pins at the festival as well, as another means to promote the music of bands. Our album pins are wooden lapel pins themed to a particular album released by a band. The buyer gets a digital download of the album, then they can wear their album! There's just 8 days left on this Kickstarter. So please make a pledge to support Celtic culture through music. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST! Because of you, this podcast exists.

Careers don't stall because people forget how to work hard; they stall because the room stops changing. We dig into a simple, disruptive idea: individuals matter more than institutions. When you choose who you spend time with as carefully as you choose your company, your trajectory shifts—faster ideas, bolder bets, better results.Lone Rock Leadership co-founder Russ Hill walks through two practical circles that shape outcomes. Your first-degree connections—bosses, teammates, key clients—determine your daily pace and mindset. If they're maintainers, your thinking flattens. If they're builders and developers, your courage and creativity rise. Then there's the overlooked engine: second-degree connections, the friends-of-friends who inject novelty without chaos. Most real opportunities come from this layer, and we get tactical about how to activate it: rotate rising operators into executive meetings, design invite-only dinners that cross functions and companies, and set a steady cadence of breakfasts, calls, and site visits that sharpen judgment.Ready to trade stagnation for momentum? Listen now, then share with one person who pushes you to grow.

SummaryIn this episode we dive into the importance of pausing and embracing stillness as a strategic move in life. The concept of 'Becoming by Design,' emphasizes that the space between actions is not a gap to rush through but a vital moment for reflection and awareness. Intentional stillness can help individuals recognize patterns, emotional triggers, and the weight of internal pressures, ultimately leading to better decision-making and alignment with personal values.This episodes explores the benefits of stillness, highlighting that it prevents reactive living and allows for a more intentional approach to life. The personal anecdotes and practical advice, such as the '24-hour rule' for responding to difficult messages, to illustrate how taking a moment to pause can lead to greater clarity and agency. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to create intentional moments of stillness in their lives, setting the stage for deeper discussions in future episodes.TakeawaysPause creates awareness before action.A pause prevents reactive living.Alignment requires space for reflection.The moment of stillness helps you see things with better clarity.Is the life that you're building one that you actually want to live?

“Now it all makes sense.” In this sweeping and explosive episode, the hosts argue the United States has reached a historic breaking point. From border security and census data

In this explosive and deeply controversial episode, the hosts take aim at what they describe as a dangerous moral inversion in American leadership, media, and progressive ideology. From Jimmy Kimmel's emotional monologue defending those accused of assaulting federal agents

It all makes sense now. In this jaw-dropping episode, the hosts walk listeners through a stunning mathematical breakdown that reframes American politics entirely. Drawing comparisons to historic liberation movements—from the Israelites to Gandhi's India—the argument is simple but explosive: this is not a divided country. It's an oppressed majority held down by fraud, manipulation, and elite control. Using newly released census projections, FOIA-exposed formulas, Supreme Court cases, and population migration data, the hosts claim Democrats are currently holding between 42 and 50 congressional seats that would not exist under an honest census and constitutional districting

Folks—this is it.

As anticipation builds for the WIP Afternoon Show's Caller of the Year, Ike, Spike, Fritz, and Eliot debate who should make up the panel tasked with deciding such a prestigious honor.

In today's behind-the-scenes conversation, Craig Smith and Colin McFarland dive deep into the end of Psalm 27 and unpack how our unspoken preferences—like avoiding pain or discomfort—can quietly hijack our spiritual direction. They reflect on how unchecked wounds influence our decisions, and how God invites us to clear out the noise so we can follow His better way.

  «Otros son como lo sembrado entre las piedras. Al oír la palabra, enseguida la reciben con gozo; pero, como no tienen raíz, su vida es muy corta, y al venir las aflicciones o la persecución por causa de la palabra, enseguida tropiezan» (Marcos 4:16-17) Parece que hay abundancia de "pedregales" cristianos en estos días. Al comienzo, cuando comienzan en la vida cristiana, se emocionan con la Palabra de Dios. Oyen un mensaje acerca de la prosperidad y vuelven a sus hogares diciendo: "¡Aleluya! Voy a prosperar, en el nombre de Jesús". Pero luego, por alguna razón las cosas no marchan como ellos esperaban. Su cuenta bancaria no se duplica de la noche a la mañana. Se decepcionan con algo. Reciben algunas críticas. Luego, en poco tiempo, su fe se marchita. Si no quieres que eso te suceda, decide ahora mismo que no te dejarás derrotar por esos momentos difíciles. Decide ahora que te mantendrás firme en la Palabra, aun en medio de la persecución y la aflicción, pues te garantizo: los problemas sí vendrán a tu vida. Cuando uno se decide a vivir por fe, las pruebas no desaparecen. En su lugar, aprendes a vencerlas. Cuando dejes a la Palabra de Dios llegar hasta tu corazón, aprenderás más del diablo de lo que alguna vez hayas deseado, pues él hará todo lo posible para que la Palabra sea infructuosa en tu vida. Tratará de confundirte con cada paso. Tendrás problemas, pero la diferencia ahora es que también tendrás la respuesta―la Palabra de Dios. Gracias a Dios, por medio de Cristo Jesús tienes el poder para derrotar a Satanás. Cuando éste genere problemas y desilusiones en tu camino, no tienes que postrarte y dejar que te arrollen. Continúa peleando la buena batalla de la fe hasta que venzas. Algunas veces serás derribado. Pero cuando eso suceda, levántate y declara: "Mira bien, diablo, no permitiré que robes la Palabra de mi corazón. Está ahí, y estoy meditando en ella. La confieso con mi boca y actúo conforme a ella hasta que las bendiciones de Dios me alcancen. Si no me crees, ¡sólo escóndete y observa!". Al tomar esa actitud, sin importar lo que el diablo haga, él jamás podrá convertirte en un "pedregal" cristiano.

Davos felt like a global ideas conference with elite vibes and thin solutions. AI talk shifted from fear to acceptance, while housing fixes turned into political theater full of carveouts and long-shot proposals. We break down why none of it moves the needle for real affordability, then zoom out to the real story: money, confidence, and a monetary system under pressure. As Ray Dalio warns and gold keeps signaling stress, Treasury yields do the real talking, because when the 10 year moves, everything follows.

BULLET POINTS GUN FIGHTS No one stepped into the arena this week. THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update (Shawn)### Incident Overview: Minneapolis * Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse. Minnesota protest against ICE. * What we do know is he was in Signal chats tracking ICE movements and likely acting as an observer. * It wasn't just standing between them. Pretti involved himself and injected himself between an ICE agent and another protester. That is the moment he stopped being a legal observer and became a suspect for assault on a federal officer. * Mike Brown: The media claiming he was “shot for filming” is the equivalent of saying “Mike Brown was shot for jaywalking.” The initial act is irrelevant. * Gun in question: Sig P320 AXG, red dot, two spare mags. Small-of-back holster. (Note: The choice of the P320 is controversial in itself given its history). ### The Anatomy of a Split-Second Shoot * The Chaos Factor: The environment was absolute bedlam. Whistles blowing, screaming, constant noise—it's hard to even watch the video because it's so overwhelming. This is the “leftist act” 101: create maximum chaos to disorient and frazzle the opposition, and then get mad when human beings react poorly to that sensory overload. * Unreasonable Expectations: It is unreasonable to expect any human, badge or not, to operate at peak capacity when they are being swarmed and deafened. The disorientation is the point. This is the intended outcome. * Quickly: We can frame-by-frame this all day, but on the ground, this decision happened in a single breath. Juries are often instructed to disregard slow motion because it creates a false sense of time. Real-time analysis shows the true speed of the OODA loop. * Sequence: Scuffle starts. Gun gets exposed. “Gun!” is yelled. Agent (maybe) removes Pretti's gun from his holster and moves away from the scrum. Agent in green draws. Less than one second later, shots are fired. * Communication Breakdown: Even if the gun was removed, if that wasn't communicated instantly to the other agents, they are shooting based on the last known fact: “He has a gun.” ### Use of Force: The OODA Loop Reality * Graham v. Connor: The legal standard is what the officer knew *at the time*, not what we find out later. If they didn't know he was disarmed, the shoot is legally justified under *Graham*. * Processing Lag: The OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) is real. There is always a lag between your brain seeing a threat and your finger moving. * Awful but Lawful: Because the timeline was compressed into milliseconds, an agent could reasonably believe the threat was active. ### Tactical Failures * Five agents on one guy. It seemed overly chaotic and overall bad tactics. * We are stuck relying on shaky cell phone footage because uniformed feds aren't recording. * It is heavily speculated that the 320 went off, which is what drove the shooting. As many times as I've watched frame by frame, I can't confirm that. ### The Narrative: Government Lies & “Ridiculous” Takes The disconnect between the video and the official story is insulting. They immediately pivoted to extreme hyperbole. Officials are using this to set a precedent that carrying a gun invalidates your First Amendment rights. * Gregory Bovino (Border Patrol Commander): “This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.” * Stephen Miller (Deputy White House Chief of Staff): “A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement…” * Kristi Noem (DHS Secretary): Labeled him a “domestic terrorist” and claimed he arrived to “inflict maximum damage.” * Kristi Noem (DHS Secretary): “I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun… This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons…” * Kash Patel (FBI Director): “No one who wants to be peaceful shows up at a protest with a firearm that is loaded with two full magazines! That is not a peaceful protest.” * All fucking lies. This is a terrible anti-2A take. Plenty of us carry at protests and everywhere fucking else. If we let them normalize this “guns = riot” talk, they will use it to disarm us next. ### Anti-2A Rhetoric * Suddenly, anti-gun groups like Brady United are defending a “legal gun owner” just to attack the police. They don't care about Pretti; they just hate the Trump and ICE more than they hate guns right now. ### 2A Absolutism * This is the moment that separates the 2A tourists from the absolutists. It's easy to defend your friends. The test is defending your enemies. American citizens, as long as they have not been legally disqualified, should have the right to carry a firearm. The second amendment is clear. * If you believe in the Second Amendment, you have to believe it applies to everyone, even the anti-ICE radical leftist, mentally ill, TDS guy you disagree with. * Fucking hypocrites, you don't believe in rights; you believe in privileges. Dangerous freedom isn't just a quote, it's a fucking fundamental idea. ### The Burden of Carry & Rittenhouse * I'm not sad he's gone, and frankly, this is a classic case of FAFO. He didn't deserve to die though. * The Rule: “Don't do stupid shit while armed.” Pretti failed. * If you draw the attention of law enforcement while armed, you better chill the fuck out. However, as the Daniel Shaver case proved, even full compliance doesn't guarantee survival. That cop was acquitted btw. * This is Kyle Rittenhouse all over again. A guy took a gun to a volatile counter-protest and it went sideways. Watch the hypocrisy, people who hate Rittenhouse are defending Pretti, and vice versa. You can't have it both ways. ### The “Jackboot” Reality Check * You can support the mission (border security) and still recognize that the agents are often the jackbooted thugs who will stomp on your neck if ordered. * Don't forget COVID. Don't forget Ashli Babbitt on J6. When the chips fall, law enforcement will follow orders, not necessarily the Constitution. * The Cost: There are good cops, sure, but ultimately, blue team will always be their priority. ### Is It Worth It? * Imagine defending illegal immigrant criminals. * The left is mentally ill. This is not about defending illegal immigrants. In fact most of them probably feel the same way as the rest of us. This is about defying Trump because they are all massively inflicted with Trump derangement syndrome. WLS IS LIFESTYLE GOING BALLISTIC
