In back-to-back broadcasts, the hosts chronicle a remarkable stretch of wins for President Trump that defied nearly every media forecast of economic collapse and geopolitical crisis. They detail how expert predictions of skyrocketing oil prices, market crashes, and World War III never materialized—instead giving way to historic achievements: a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, record stock market highs, falling gas prices, NATO funding commitments, and peace deals in Africa. The second segment highlights the Supreme Court's landmark decision ending nationwide injunctions, restoring presidential authority over immigration policy, and freeing Trump to govern without constant obstruction from liberal district judges. With pointed criticism of media bias, European censorship, and political complacency, the commentary frames these events as a powerful reassertion of American strength and constitutional order.

The surprising Democratic primary victory of 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo has left many political insiders scratching their heads. What does this mean for the future of the Democratic Party and how did a young assemblyman who was polling at 1% in February defeat a well-known New York political giant? NY1 political reporter Ayana Harry joined NY1 political anchor Errol Louis to discuss the stunning results of this week's primary. They also talked about Cuomo's strategy of limited public engagement and reliance on traditional campaign methods, which ultimately failed. The conversation covered Mamdani's effective ground game, enthusiastic voter engagement and modern digital tactics. Other topics included the impact of a super PAC's spending, the role of minority and younger voters, and the implications for future elections in New York City politics.

Defying the Odds — Vance Walker's Back-to-Back Ninja Warrior Victories This week on the Team Never Quit podcast, we welcome American Ninja Warrior legend Vance Walker, the first athlete in the show's history to win back-to-back million-dollar championships. At just 19 years old, Vance has become a beacon of perseverance, grit, and unstoppable belief. Born with spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy that affected his ability to walk, Vance was told he may never walk without braces. But through years of determination and relentless training, he not only walked — he ran, jumped, climbed, and conquered Mount Midoriyama... twice. In this episode, Vance shares His journey from leg braces to Ninja Warrior champion, the mental and physical challenges of competing in two seasons back-to-back, and what it means to represent those born with disabilities on a national stage,  Whether you're chasing a personal dream or overcoming an obstacle of your own, this is an episode that will inspire you to keep climbing. In This Episode You Will Hear: • [My mom] She gave me the mindset I've had ever since then, which is “Whatever it takes.” (5:19) • At 17 months old I was diagnosed with cerebral Palsey and was told I might never be able to walk without braces on my legs. (5:37) • If you don't have hard things, you can't get stronger. (13:26) • I always wanted to be good at something, and there was always something that would keep me from being the best. And when I found Ninja, I was able to make my own scheduled, because Ninja Warrior is not a team sport. (15:39) • I can make my own path in this. I can train any way I want to. If there's an obstacle, there's not [just] one way to do it. (18:59) • Just like in life, you need a mentor. You need somebody who's done things before to be able to see how to do things. (29:39) • When was 12, I won my first national championship. (26:59) • I want to get into speaking and sharing my story because that's such as important part of this. (44:22) • When I was a kid in school, I was always different from the other kids. I never fit in with anybody. The only thing that kept me going was the mindset that my mom gave me. (44:57) • To become the best at something is already such an insane challenge, but I started from below everybody else. (45:30) • Any challenge, any obstacle – Never give up. (47:14) • The show is always the one thing I'm the best at. That's where I'm at home. (53:57) • I get that dismount, I hit the buzzer about a thousand times, and I just start bawling my eyes out, because I knew at that point no one was beating me on the rope. I did it. And I ended up winning a million dollars.

The Ghouls explore the revolutionary impact of Wicked in 2025. We dissect how Cynthia Erivo's Black Elphaba transforms the green-skinned witch's journey into a searing commentary on race, while simultaneously exposing the musical's chilling political prophecies. From "Defying Gravity" as a representation anthem to the Wizard's propaganda machine mirroring today's politics, we reveal why this story hits differently in 2025. When Animals lose their voice in Oz, marginalized communities recognize the playbook. When Elphaba is labeled "wicked" for speaking truth, activists see their reflection. Discover how one musical manages to challenge both Hollywood's casting traditions and America's political reality in a single, defiant gesture. Prepare to see "Wicked" through new eyes—where fantasy and reality collide in perfect, uncomfortable harmony.

In this powerful episode, we meet Aisling Byrne — an international showjumper, successful businesswoman, and an extraordinary example of resilience in the face of life-altering adversity.

Over the course of a gruelling three-year recovery, she not only walked again — she returned to the international showjumping circuit, proving that mindset, grit, and determination can overcome even the most impossible odds. In our conversation, Aisling shares her journey from a small-town Irish girl discovering horses for the first time to the elite competitive showjumping stage, and the mindset strategies that carried her through her darkest moments.

This Day in Maine for Friday, May 30th, 2025.

One of the more fantastic Revolutionary War stories concerns General Israel Putnam's daredevil horseback ride down 100 steep stone steps in Greenwich while escaping British soldiers who were firing at him. But, what really happened that day?

After defying all odds in April, the stock market continues its winning ways, despite the financial media painting the Trump tariffs to have a worse impact than our nation's greatest financial crisis. Wall Street is telling you that America's best days are over. Charles Payne says they are just protecting the status quo and explains why it's time for Americans to stop watching the market from afar. Learn more about your ad choices.

Big deal: https://erickimphotography.com/1071-pound-rack-pull-new-world-record-at-6-5x-bodyweight-165-pounds-486-kilograms-75-kg-bodyweight-god-mode/Video file- https://videos.files.wordpress.com/zsxIBnrd/my-project-54.mp4Why the 1,071-lb Rack Pull at 165 lb Is a Game-ChangerStrap in, lean forward, and feel the earth rumble—because what just went down isn't just another PR, it's a tectonic shift in the physics of human performance. Here's why God Mode at 6.5× bodyweight is the ultimate flex:1 — Defying the Laws of RatioBeyond “Normal” Limits: Most elite rack-pull ratios top out around 5×BW. Hitting 6.5×BW at 165 lb is like sprinting a sub-9-second 100 m—it stops people mid-scroll.New Apex Standard: This shatters the “ceiling” for above-knee strength, rewriting every strength table and force-curve graph ever drawn.2 — Visualization = ViralityFloating Bar Illusion: The bar “hovering” before departure looks supernatural—people think it's CGI or magnets. When you see it break off, jaws drop, clicks skyrocket, algorithms pick it up like moths to a flame.Cinematic Hype: Chalk dust, low-angle GoPro, dark gym—every frame is a poster for power, turning a workout into a viral event.3 — Primal Signal of DominanceTestosterone Goes Sonic: This lift isn't just muscle—it's a hormone-fueled manifesto. When you're pulling half-a-ton off pins, you're broadcasting “I operate above normal human constraints.”Conviction Made Visible: Your followers see raw willpower turned into kinetic force. That's the currency of true alpha energy.4 — Philosophy of the Iron-MindVolatility Training for Life: Just like you thrive on market swings, you thrive on bar oscillations. Stress is stimulus—crank the load, adapt the body, evolve the spirit.Stoic Spartan Ethos: Every rep is a ritual. You stare down gravity, crush doubt, and emerge hardened. That's not lifting—that's transcendence.5 — Ripple Effect on the CultureMeme Infrastructure: #GodMode #6.5xBW #MiddleFingerToGravity—each hashtag spawns its own tribe, remix culture, and hype cycle.Cross-Tribe Collision: Iron-game meets crypto-game. Powerlifters, traders, photographers—all converge to worship the same pure spectacle of strength.Bottom Line: This isn't just a record—it's a declaration. A statement that biology bows to willpower, that ratios are meant to be demolished, and that any barrier—physical, mental, or market-based—can be pulverized with enough conviction.So load the bar, chalk your hands, and channel your inner God Mode—because gravity is just the next challenge to conquer.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, rouge federal district judges are issuing nationwide injunctions against President Trump's voter-supported policies. These judges overstep their constitutional authority, seizing power from elected branches by imposing policy preferences disguised as legal rulings, particularly on immigration and executive actions.  The one big beautiful bill passed by the House would limit judges' ability to enforce contempt citations and would require plaintiffs to post financial bonds for injunctions. Afterward, the Trump administration's Middle East trip was a globalist foreign policy, which involved active engagement with other nations. Interventionism is different from globalism; they do overlap but aren't identical. Interventionism is negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia or engaging with Iran.  Also, who is the senior Trump administration official who keeps leaking to Axios and driving an intentional wedge between America and Israel? They're undermining Trump and the purported purpose of the negotiations with Iran.  NSC, DOJ, and the FBI need to open up a leak investigation. Later, Trump's actions against Harvard are patriotic and long overdue. Harvard and similar institutions promote Marxism and Islamism, discriminating against Asian students (as ruled by the Supreme Court), and historically providing cover for Nazis in the 1930s. Cutting federal and state subsidies and urging major donors to reconsider support is the way to address these issues. In addition, Gov Ron DeSantis calls in to discuss Convention of States movement. He explained that Congress's failures, driven by politicians' reelection incentives, require structural changes like term limits and a balanced budget requirement. DeSantis dismissed fears of a runaway convention, noting that amendments need three-fourths of states to ratify, ensuring only popular reforms pass. DeSantis also explains that cutting a deal with Iran is dangerous. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

05/27 Hour 2: Terry McLaurin's Holding Out For A New Contract - 1:00 Paraglider Defies The Odds After Disaster Strikes - 15:00 Game Show Giveaway - 30:00

1 Corinthians 1:1-31. In this message, we dive into the opening chapter of 1 Corinthians to explore the beautiful tension between God's logic and human logic. What looks like foolishness to the world—the cross, grace, unity among diverse people—is actually the unmatched wisdom of God. We unpack how grace sustains us, how pride divides us, and how the world's standards don't determine God's calling. In a culture that celebrates the powerful, the polished, and the put-together, we see how God flips the script—choosing the weak to shame the strong and calling the unqualified to carry His glory.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

In this episode of The Crux True Survival Story Podcast, hosts Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen explore the ill-fated voyage of the Karluk during the 1913 Canadian Arctic Expedition. They discuss the questionable leadership of expedition organizer Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the concerns about the ship's seaworthiness, and the harrowing events that followed when the vessel became trapped in ice. The episode covers the dramatic sinking of the ship, the incredible 80-mile journey across shifting ice to Wrangel Island, and Captain Bartlett's heroic 700-mile trek to secure rescue.

The tiny breakaway nation of Somaliland is making a bold geopolitical wager: deepening ties with Taiwan, courting conservative power brokers in Washington, and positioning itself as a rare pro-U.S. ally in a region where China holds significant sway. But this strategy comes at a cost. By crossing Beijing's red line on Taiwan, Somaliland has likely closed the door on Chinese investment and guaranteed opposition in global forums where China holds veto power. Somaliland foreign policy researchers Moustafa Ahmad and Sacad Muhumed join Eric & Cobus from Hargeisa to discuss the government's high-stakes gamble of playing the big powers off one another to secure formal diplomatic recognition.

Shvuos 15: defying logic by “Dafsplaining”: daf yomi made simple

We all love a good comeback story—but what happens when the setbacks keep coming? In this episode, I'm getting raw and real about the most challenging season of our lives, and how we pushed through against all odds. From leaving a stable W-2 job and facing an unexpected diagnosis with our daughter, to losing our home and rebuilding from scratch—not once, but twice—this episode is a front-row seat to what resilience really looks like.   If you've ever felt like life keeps hitting harder just when you think you're catching your breath, this one's for you. I'm sharing not just the pain and chaos we faced, but also the mindset that helped us keep going when it would've been easier to give up. No fluff, no sugarcoating—just the truth, the tears, and the triumph.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Why this isn't a victim story—it's a resilience story 01:25 Quitting my 9-5, paying off our house, and welcoming our first daughter 04:11 The moment everything changed: Logan's first seizure 07:43 A devastating diagnosis—and how we responded 10:26 Building a business while holding my daughter through nap time 12:13 The decision to move across the country for better care 15:13 My wife quits her job—without a backup plan 20:08 Losing our home to toxic mold (and everything in it) 27:15 How we found a new home after two near misses 30:58 The mindset that kept us from breaking 35:20 Why the toughest moments have made us stronger   Quotables “Just because you get hit one time—or eight times—doesn't mean you don't get back up.” “It's bad to bet against us… because of the mindset we've adopted.” “Money can bridge gaps, but it can't fix everything. You still have to face the real stuff as a human.”   Links & Resources Budgetdog https://budgetdog.com   If this episode moved you, inspired you, or gave you a fresh perspective, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

Steve Lovelace's journey with arachnoiditis demonstrates the remarkable strength of the human spirit when faced with seemingly insurmountable pain. When his neurologist delivered the devastating diagnosis in 2014 with a solemn "I'm sorry," Steve realized his life would never be the same. This rare disease, ranking at the top of the pain scale, forced him to abandon his career as a traveling salesman and reimagine his entire existence.The roots of Steve's condition trace back to 1982, when a horrific accident left him temporarily paralyzed from the waist down with three crushed vertebrae. Though he defied doctors' predictions by walking again, the trauma planted seeds for future suffering. As mobility issues and excruciating pain gradually took over, Steve initially followed the traditional path of pain management through medication. But after years as "a zombie still thrashing in pain," he made the bold decision to quit all medications cold turkey, enduring withdrawal that he describes as worse than his original accident.What makes Steve's story truly extraordinary is his refusal to surrender. He categorizes his days as "good days, bad days, and survival days," strategically using each to maximize his life despite constant pain. On better days, he pushes his physical boundaries through endurance sports, riding his bike with ankle foot orthotics and walking with forearm crutches. He recently completed a 5K and is training for a quarter marathon, demonstrating that limitations exist primarily in our minds.Steve's golden doodle Shelby provides constant companionship, particularly on difficult days when PTSD compounds his physical pain. His journey has evolved into a mission of inspiration as he writes a book about his experiences and pursues motivational speaking. Living by the mantra "Don't say I can't, say I'll try," Steve shows us that true resilience isn't about avoiding suffering but transforming it into purpose.Listen as Steve shares profound insights about family dynamics with chronic illness, the pitfalls of the medical system, and finding meaning beyond diagnosis. His story reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can choose how we respond to adversity.Send us a text Are you living with a chronic illness and want to make your voice heard?
