Why do we romanticize historical outlaws and con artists? It is difficult to write about Wild West outlaws because the myths surrounding them bear little resemblance to the truth. Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith was one of those characters. Smith often donated money to good causes, but he earned that money by cheating and robbing people. When he relocated his criminal enterprise to Skagway, Alaska, during the Klondike Gold Rush in 1897, the citizens soon grew weary of his cons and threats. The animosity led to a confrontation and a shootout, and soon, Jefferson Smith's life ended, and the legend of Soapy Smith began. Sources Charles River Editors.

In this episode, we explore a diverse array of captivating stories from the far reaches of our solar system to pressing challenges in Earth's orbit. We kick off with a critical discussion on satellite disposal, weighing the merits of designing for demise versus non-demise as mega constellations like Starlink proliferate. The environmental implications of each approach are examined, highlighting the need for a sustainable solution.Next, we journey to the Kuiper Belt, where astronomers from Princeton University have uncovered a new structure known as the "inner kernel" of objects. This discovery challenges our understanding of the solar system's formation and reignites the search for the elusive Planet Nine.We then celebrate Rocket Lab's remarkable achievements over the past year, including 21 successful launches of their Electron rocket and the introduction of their innovative Neutron rocket, designed to compete with industry giants.As we mark the end of an era, we pay tribute to NASA's Terra satellite, which has provided invaluable data on Earth's climate and environment for 26 years.The James Webb Space Telescope surprises us with findings on the super Earth TOI561b, revealing it to be a dynamic volcanic world with a rich atmosphere, defying previous assumptions about such close proximity to its star.Finally, we delve into the unique business of space memorials with Celestis, which is set to launch its most ambitious mission yet—a permanent orbit around the sun for cremated remains and DNA, creating a man-made comet that will journey through the cosmos indefinitely.Join us as we unravel these intriguing stories and more in this episode of Astronomy Daily!00:00 – **Give us 10 minutes to give you the universe00:37 – **With mega constellations launching thousands of satellites, disposal of satellites is critical02:24 – **Scientists at Princeton University have found something new in the Kuiper Belt05:18 – **NASA's Terra satellite has been retired after 26 years of service06:12 – **The James Webb Telescope has turned its gaze to an exoplanet08:19 – **This week's Astronomy Daily features a variety of topics### Sources & Further Reading1. NASA2. Princeton University3. Rocket Lab4. Celestis5. Space.com### Follow & ContactX/Twitter: @AstroDailyPodInstagram: @astrodailypodEmail: hello@astronomydaily.ioWebsite: astronomydaily.ioClear skies and see you next time!

Mark Epstein has consistently argued that the official account of his brother Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody is inadequate and incomplete, repeatedly calling for a far more robust, independent investigation. He has publicly questioned the findings of the New York City medical examiner, emphasizing that the determination of suicide was not unanimous and that at least one prominent forensic pathologist concluded the injuries were more consistent with homicide. Mark Epstein has also pointed to the extraordinary number of failures at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death, including malfunctioning cameras, guards who allegedly fell asleep, and lapses in required welfare checks. In his view, these breakdowns were too numerous and consequential to be dismissed as mere coincidence. He has stressed that his concerns are not rooted in defending his brother's crimes, but in establishing what actually happened in a federal facility that was supposed to be under constant supervision. For Mark Epstein, unanswered questions surrounding the death undermine public trust in the justice system. He has maintained that transparency, not closure, should be the priority.Beyond disputing the medical and custodial conclusions, Mark Epstein has repeatedly criticized the scope and depth of the federal response, arguing that investigations have focused more on ending scrutiny than resolving contradictions. He has called for a fully independent inquiry with subpoena power, one that examines not only the immediate circumstances of the death but also potential external pressures, conflicts of interest, and institutional incentives to avoid embarrassment or liability. Mark Epstein has also questioned why no senior officials faced serious consequences despite the acknowledged failures at MCC, framing this lack of accountability as emblematic of a broader reluctance to confront uncomfortable truths. He has stated that without a comprehensive investigation, suspicions will persist regardless of official statements or reports. His continued advocacy reflects a belief that the case has been prematurely closed rather than thoroughly resolved. In his view, the handling of his brother's death represents a missed opportunity for institutional reckoning. Until those gaps are addressed, Mark Epstein has said, the public will be left with doubt rather than facts.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Thomas Chatterton Williams joins to discuss his new book, The Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and the Demise of Discourse. He argues that the racial reckoning of 2020 was not an inevitable tide of history but a perfect storm of pandemic isolation, polarizing politics, and institutional failure. TCW dissects how mainstream institutions—from the New York Times to the Philadelphia Inquirer—abandoned objectivity for "moral clarity," and how misinformation about cases like Jacob Blake fueled a cycle of violence in Kenosha. Mike and Thomas debate whether the Left's introspection is necessary to defeat the "worse" impulses of the MAGA Right, or if it just alienates the base.

Is traditional American religion doomed?Traditional religion in the United States has suffered huge losses in recent decades. The number of Americans identifying as "not religious" has increased remarkably. Religious affiliation, service attendance, and belief in God have declined. More and more people claim to be "spiritual but not religious." Religious organizations have been reeling from revelations of sexual and financial scandals and cover-ups. Public trust in "organized religion" has declined significantly. Crucially, these religious losses are concentrated among younger generations. This means that, barring unlikely religious revivals among youth, the losses will continue and accelerate in time, as less-religious younger Americans replace older more-religious ones and increasingly fewer American children are raised by religious parents. All this is clear. But what is less clear is exactly why this is happening. We know a lot more about the fact that traditional American religion has declined than we do about why this is so.Why Religion Went Obsolete: The Demise of Traditional Faith in America (Oxford UP, 2025) aims to change that. Drawing on survey data and hundreds of interviews, Christian Smith offers a sweeping, multifaceted account of why many Americans have lost faith in traditional religion. An array of large-scale social forces-everything from the end of the Cold War to the rise of the internet to shifting ideas about gender and sexuality-came together to render traditional religion culturally obsolete. For growing numbers of Americans, traditional religion no longer seems useful or relevant. Using quantitative empirical measures of big-picture changes over time as well as exploring the larger cultural environment—the cultural "zeitgeist"—Smith explains why this is the case and what it means for the future. Crucially, he argues, it does not mean a strictly secular future. Rather, Americans' spiritual impulses are being channelled in new and interesting directions. Christian Smith is the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Sociology and Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Religion and Society at the University of Notre Dame. Smith is well known for his research focused on religion, adolescents and emerging adults, and social theory. He has written many books, including Divided by Faith: Evangelical Religion and the Problem of Race in America (with Michael O. Emerson), as well as Soul Searching: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teenagers (with Melinda Lundquist Denton). Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

We know a lot more about the fact that traditional American religion has declined than we do about why this is so.Why Religion Went Obsolete: The Demise of Traditional Faith in America (Oxford UP, 2025) aims to change that. Drawing on survey data and hundreds of interviews, Christian Smith offers a sweeping, multifaceted account of why many Americans have lost faith in traditional religion. An array of large-scale social forces-everything from the end of the Cold War to the rise of the internet to shifting ideas about gender and sexuality-came together to render traditional religion culturally obsolete. For growing numbers of Americans, traditional religion no longer seems useful or relevant. Using quantitative empirical measures of big-picture changes over time as well as exploring the larger cultural environment—the cultural "zeitgeist"—Smith explains why this is the case and what it means for the future. Crucially, he argues, it does not mean a strictly secular future. Rather, Americans' spiritual impulses are being channelled in new and interesting directions. Christian Smith is the William R.

Thank you so much for listening to the Bob Harden Show, celebrating over 14 years broadcasting on the internet. On Monday's show, we discuss current global events, including developments in Israel, Ukraine, Venezuela, and Australia with Marc Schulman, Founder and Publisher of HistoryCentral.com. We visit with American Institute for Economic Research Senior Editor Jon Miltimore … The post The Demise of the Ford 150 Lightening EV Pickup Truck appeared first on Bob Harden Show.

Is traditional American religion doomed?Traditional religion in the United States has suffered huge losses in recent decades. The number of Americans identifying as "not religious" has increased remarkably. Religious affiliation, service attendance, and belief in God have declined. More and more people claim to be "spiritual but not religious." Religious organizations have been reeling from revelations of sexual and financial scandals and cover-ups. Public trust in "organized religion" has declined significantly. Crucially, these religious losses are concentrated among younger generations. This means that, barring unlikely religious revivals among youth, the losses will continue and accelerate in time, as less-religious younger Americans replace older more-religious ones and increasingly fewer American children are raised by religious parents. All this is clear. But what is less clear is exactly why this is happening.

Mark Epstein has consistently argued that the official account of his brother Jeffrey Epstein's death in federal custody is inadequate and incomplete, repeatedly calling for a far more robust, independent investigation. He has publicly questioned the findings of the New York City medical examiner, emphasizing that the determination of suicide was not unanimous and that at least one prominent forensic pathologist concluded the injuries were more consistent with homicide. Mark Epstein has also pointed to the extraordinary number of failures at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on the night of Jeffrey Epstein's death, including malfunctioning cameras, guards who allegedly fell asleep, and lapses in required welfare checks. In his view, these breakdowns were too numerous and consequential to be dismissed as mere coincidence. He has stressed that his concerns are not rooted in defending his brother's crimes, but in establishing what actually happened in a federal facility that was supposed to be under constant supervision. For Mark Epstein, unanswered questions surrounding the death undermine public trust in the justice system. He has maintained that transparency, not closure, should be the priority.Beyond disputing the medical and custodial conclusions, Mark Epstein has repeatedly criticized the scope and depth of the federal response, arguing that investigations have focused more on ending scrutiny than resolving contradictions. He has called for a fully independent inquiry with subpoena power, one that examines not only the immediate circumstances of the death but also potential external pressures, conflicts of interest, and institutional incentives to avoid embarrassment or liability. Mark Epstein has also questioned why no senior officials faced serious consequences despite the acknowledged failures at MCC, framing this lack of accountability as emblematic of a broader reluctance to confront uncomfortable truths. He has stated that without a comprehensive investigation, suspicions will persist regardless of official statements or reports. His continued advocacy reflects a belief that the case has been prematurely closed rather than thoroughly resolved. In his view, the handling of his brother's death represents a missed opportunity for institutional reckoning. Until those gaps are addressed, Mark Epstein has said, the public will be left with doubt rather than facts.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

I'm Still Here (dir. Walter Salles, 2024) is based on the true story of the enforced disappearance and murder of former congressman Rubens Paiva by the military dictatorship in Brazil. The film opens in Rio de Janeiro in 1970, where Rubens lives with his wife, Eunice, and their five children. Their lives are forever altered when the military government arrests and disappears Rubens. The film describes Eunice's attempt to find out what happened to Rubens and to rebuild her life and raise her family in his absence. The film is based on the memoir of their son, Marcelo Rubens Paiva, who was a young boy when Rubens was disappeared. I'm Still Here provides a harrowing account of Brazil's military dictatorship and a moving story of a woman's struggle to overcome adversity and obtain justice.Timestamps:0:00    Introduction2:16     The military dictatorship in Brazil4:38     Living amid contradictions6:52     The kidnapping of the Swiss ambassador8:33     Rubens' arrest and disappearance12:38   Authoritarian legality14:18    The arrest and mistreatment of family members17:16    Covering up state crimes19:29    Exile as another tool of repression23:08   Enforced disappearances27:18     Leveraging international pressure29:08   Eunice Paiva's struggle and success33:15    Support for the military dictatorship36:01   Finally obtaining Rubens' death certificate 25 years later40:10   Brazil's National Truth Commission48:39   Authoritarian threats to democracy todayFurther reading:Atencio, Rebecca J., Memory's Turn: Reckoning with Dictatorship in Brazil (2014)Filho, Paulo Coehlo, “Truth Commission in Brazil: Individualizing Amnesty, Revealing the Truth,” The Yale Review of International Studies (Feb. 29, 2012)Lima, Ana Gabriela Oliveira, “Corrected death certificates for Herzog, Rubens Paiva,and one hundred others are celebrated in a ceremony,” Folha de S.

Julia and Eliza are back in the stu for a deep dive into hostile architecture, unpacking the spikes, slopes, bars, and billion-dollar "design choices" that quietly shape our cities and public spaces. In analyzing bisected benches, shadeless streets, and the Evil of Robert Moses, the girlies consider what it means to live in a world built to restrict movement and community. Digressions include the sacred magic of knitting tutorials, NYC's food poisoning themed Erewhon, and Eliza staying bricked up.

Collapse and Loss of Literacy in the Aegean: Colleague Eric Cline revisits the demise of the Minoans and Mycenaeans, comparing their state to a tree that appears solid but is rotted inside, collapsing when stressed by environmental factors; the segment emphasizes the total disintegration of their palatial economy and culture, noting that unlike other regions where administration continued, the Greeks lost their ability to write for centuries, with the transition from the Bronze Age Wanax to the Iron Age Basileus reflecting a complete restructuring of society. 1959

In 1974, Wichita, Kansas was shaken by a series of brutal attacks inside family homes. Men, women, and children were bound, tortured, and killed by a predator who called himself BTK. For 17 years, he terrorized the community, claiming at least 10 victims and taunting police with disturbing letters that detailed his crimes. Then in 1991, the killings abruptly stopped, leaving law enforcement and the public to wonder if the killer had vanished forever. For more than a decade, there was silence. Then in 2004, BTK resurfaced with new messages, reigniting fear in Wichita. But that renewed need for attention would ultimately be his downfall, and by the following year, detectives had identified the killer as Dennis Rader, a father of two, a Scout leader, and a trusted member of his church council. Rader was the last person anyone suspected of being a sexual sadist serial killer, but once investigators began putting all the puzzle pieces together, it became clear that Rader's family-man persona was just a mask covering the monster beneath.

The enclave known as Butcher Town flourished around Cannon's millpond until 1850, when the expansion of Charleston's city limits propelled the slaughtering business northward. The migration of butchers' pens across the Neck then triggered a decades-long battle between private enterprise and public efforts to regulate the industry. Following a suite of political and technological developments in the early twentieth century, a modern municipal abattoir ultimately scrubbed the ancient blood-soaked industry from the local landscape.

A U.S. official just reminded Congress of the enormous threat we face from Communist China: “America's adversaries…are already embedded in our systems, mapping our infrastructure, and preparing to disrupt critical operations at a time of their choosing….Cyberattacks on energy infrastructure are a daily reality and a growing strategic weapon.”  This report makes all the more astounding the fact that the Securities and Exchange Commission continues to enable Chinese Communist companies – even ones blacklisted for being tied directly to the CCP's military – to have privileged access to America's capital markets.  While SEC Chairman Paul Atkins says he's going to “scrutinize” more carefully such companies and what they are doing, unless and until he terminates a 2013 Memorandum of Understanding engineered by then-Vice President Joe Biden, our investors will continue – mostly unwittingly – to prop up and otherwise underwrite the greatest threat this country has ever faced. This is Frank Gaffney.

On this episode, we tackle the deadly consequences of failed security and immigration policies. Joe Dolio, Marine Corps veteran and fraud expert, joins us to discuss last week's National Guardsman shootings in D.C., the vulnerabilities exposed by unvetted immigration, and parallels with Somali fraud networks in Minnesota. We break down how lax vetting and governmental inaction put American lives at risk and what citizens can do to protect themselves in an increasingly chaotic environment.Colorado is in crisis. Under Governor Polis and a Democrat supermajority, crime, drug use, and homelessness have surged, while K-12 education continues its steady decline, slipping six spots nationally over eight years. Homicides and overdoses have risen every year since 2018, leaving families vulnerable and communities strained. From deadly crashes involving repeat offenders to violent home intrusions, Coloradans are feeling the impact of mismanaged priorities and weak enforcement policies.We also expose the state's systemic failures at home. With shocking cases like the Highway 83 crash that killed five, committed by a parolee with a long criminal history, it's clear that Coloradans are paying the price for policymakers' misplaced priorities. Tune in as we examine the policies, the numbers, and the real human cost of eight years of governance gone wrong.

It was out of bounds for Lane Kiffin to accept the LSU job and also think he could keep coaching Ole Miss. That's what Jonathan Zaslow thinks. He also says Alabama has a shot at nabbing a top four spot with a win in the SEC Championship. In the NFL, parity is ruining and making everything interesting. (Side note: every time you watch the Lions do you think to yourself, maybe it was Ben Johnson all along?) Then we get intel on the Chiefs collapse with former Chief lineman Geoff Schwartz. He also gets into the weeds with Mike Tomlin and team dynamics and why a veteran like Cam Heyward losing his mind on Josh Allen is bad omen.

Teresa may be the first guest on Jennifer Aydin's new podcast but all is not as it seems. Who is using who, who is really mad at who, what role did BravoCon play in all of this and why RHIONJ will not be back to filming anytime even remotely soon.  Aaron Phypers may be playing it real cool with a huge smile on his face but the future does not look so bright so he can keep his shades at home. A new well known actress' name is being tossed around to throw into the RHOBH mix and we are so very much here for it. Tia and Angel make their mark and let their voices be heard again the OG's on RHOP. Selling Sunset's new season drama is in full effect both on and off the show. Last, but not least, Bethenny Frankel takes a break from TikTok and saving the world to let us know she is gonna help us all find love and other stuff.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: RO - ro.co/velvet (For Prescription Compounded GLP-1s and Your Free Insurance Check) THEREALREAL - therealreal.com/velvetrope (Get $25 Off At the Best Place To Shop Authenticated Luxury Bags, Clothing, Watches & more) RAKUTEN - rakuten.co.uk (Go To Rakuten.co.uk, Download The App Or Install The Browser Extension To Earn Cash Back While You Shop At All Your Favorite Stores) MOOD - www.mood.com/velvet (20% Off With Code Velvet on Federally Legal THC Shipped Right To Your Door) PROGRESSIVE - www.progressive.com (Visit Progressive.com To See If You Could Save On Car Insurance) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com Learn more about your ad choices.
