In Episode 37 we tell about a letter of condemnation sent to Mayor Scott Gillingham, Premier Wab Kinew, all of city council and other public officials by a homeowner in North Point Douglas .He was trying to enjoy his Saturday morning coffee and read a book in his yard in peace. It was "abruptly shattered by agroup of unhoused individuals down on the riverbank - hooting, yelling, hurling expletives and epithets." Before long an ambulance and fire truck arrived- yet again- to the riverbank. Meanwhile the neighborhood homeless encampments were buzzing with illegal activity. “And so begins another typical day in North Point Douglas.”Part 1- To provide context to the letter from Howard Warren, we start with the list he attached of the awful incidents he's encountered in the last few years. The already-struggling neighborhood was failed by government policies and is now overrun with criminals and individuals with profound mental illness. Listen to his experience with robberies, break-ins, assaults, filth, fires, finding a dead body - and worst of all, his dealings with a dysfunctional 911 and police service.13.13 Part 2 - According to Mr. Warren, he previously "reached out in states of deep frustration over what's happening in North Point Douglas" to Mayor Gillingham, "but I did not even receive a basic acknowledgment. That silence is its own message. "Among the points he makes:"Despite years of visible decline, governments of all levels, parties, and ideologies have failed to act in any meaningful way. The very institutions that are supposed to safeguard public welfare and uphold the rule of law have left us feeling trapped and betrayed.""I represent a wide cross-section of Point Douglasresidents, and countless others across Winnipeg, when I say: we are desperate. For the past six years, we have felt abandoned. Unheard. Marginalized. Misunderstood.Demoralized.""We no longer consider inviting people over to sit in our yard. Why would we? There's every chance that the gathering will be disrupted, hijacked, really, by shouting, swearing, fighting, environmental destruction, fires or worse. That medley of chaos too often crashes through what should be moments of joy, peace and calm.""We're the ones who have nothing left to lose but our silence. And so, we fight, speak out, and use whatever means we can to shine a light on what's happening here; the injustice and indignity suffered by both the housed and unhoused. I say this with no exaggeration: we are in a crisis."22.40- "I have several questions for you, Mr. Mayor. Let me start with one I know you've heard before."We read off the questions Howard Warren posedfor Mayor Gillingham. He started with why St. Boniface Street Links was "cut off from municipal funding" in favour of Main Street Project. You'll hear his criticism of MSP's "human rights based" approach to the homeless, "a model which seems to entrench dysfunction, despair and social mayhem."Other Notable Quotes:- “Why are families like ours and our neighbours' expected to endure the daily trauma of watching people destroy themselves in front of our homes, in front of our children, asthe very systems that were meant to protect us slowly collapse around us?” - “The rights of one group should not eclipse the rights of another, especially not when those being drowned out are the very people trying to hold their communities together…we are being dismissed, neglected, and treated as expendable.” - “We need an end to policies that normalize decay, danger, and disorder. And we need city and provincial leadership to stop pretending this is okay. We need all of this now.”******Online today, in print tomorrow in the Winnipeg Sun - Restaurants pushed to the brink by theft, vandalism, City Works and City cops https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/gold-winnipeg-restaurants-battered-by-crime-costs-and-silence******* Support the Season Six funding campaign via https://actionline.ca/2024/02/donate-2/

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with co-host, Nathan Gershfeld. 0:00 Teaser Clips & Intro 1:09 My son doesn't work, spends all day in his room, and lacks interest or motivation 17:08 What causes motivation? 21:40 I married a man I don't love 25 years ago 42:24 Very happy with my partner of 12 years, but want to experience someone else as a comparison Question 1: I have a very difficult adult child. My 23yo easily got a college degree at 21yo in computer science with excellent grades. Despite the warnings and encouragement, he's never worked a day. Otherwise a very bright kid, he spends all day in his room online, has no friends or social life. He did about 5 interviews that went horribly and decided he no longer wants to try. He's been telling us he has no intention of working and does not care what happens. He's been in therapy and on meds for the last year but it has not helped. We've tried to be supportive and firm, but nothing works or makes sense. I don't see depression, just disinterest, lack of motivation and low confidence. If he needs the car (which is rare) he borrows his mothers. We tried cutting off the internet and access to the car and he spent a month locked in his room without talking to us and lost 20lbs. We don't buy him anything. We pay for family health care as we are still working and he has a younger brother, but that wont be forever. We pay insurance for 3 cars. Our plan was to retire , sell the house and downsize to the beach in a few years. We still plan to do it, but apparently it will be with him. We worry about his mental state and healthcare. I don't think any healthy person would chose this path. He has admitted he is losing at life and not very normal - he speaks with a scary level of clarity and self awareness about it. His life and options will be sad and very limited if he does not snap out of this. We worry. Many who have told us to kick him out have not been through this and often don't even have kids. We never could have seen this coming and we don't know what to do. Question 2: I'm a 50 year old woman. About 25 years ago I married a man I didn't and still don't love only for financially security. I have a college degree but I never worked in my life, not even a summer job in high school or college. If I leave my husband whom I don't love, I will have to get a job but how can I if I'm 50 years old and never worked. No one will hire me because others my age have 20+ years of experience. Should I just stay with my husband even though I don't love him? Question 3: I've been in a relationship for 12 years, and we've been living together for 2 years now. We're both almost 30, not married, but really happy together— of course, with our ups and downs. We're very close, but also independent; we make plans together as a couple, but also have our own plans with friends. The sex is good. We've never been with anyone else sexually, or even kissed anyone else, which shocks everyone. I'm really happy with him, and I know I want to continue my life with him, with him being the father of my future child. But sometimes, I feel like I'd like to have an experience with someone else— not with anyone specific, just to try it, to have a comparison, or to experience something different. At the same time, I know he wouldn't want that, and it's something he would never accept. So, if I were to do this, I'd have to keep it a secret, and I'm really afraid of that— if he finds out, or if it changes how I feel about him. I don't know. What do you think?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 30, 2025 is: audition aw-DISH-un noun An audition is a short performance to show the talents of someone (such as an actor or a musician) who is being considered for a role in a play, a position in an orchestra, etc. // Auditions will be held next week for the spring musical. // She had an audition for a small part but ended up landing a starring role. See the entry > Examples: “When she was 18, Hannah D'Amato auditioned for a spot at the Berklee College of Music. Midway through her audition, one of the male judges walked up to her guitar amp and lowered the volume knob. Demoralized and insulted, D'Amato decided to bypass the prestigious institution and start a band on her own. Thus the origin story of Fake Fruit, the Bay Area punk trio she's been fronting over several incarnations since 2016.” — Zach Schonfeld, Pitchfork, 23 Aug. 2024 Did you know? Today, audition most often refers to an artistic performance, but that wasn't always the case. Audition has roots in the Latin verb audīre meaning “to hear,” and was first used in the late 16th century to refer to the power or sense of hearing. Audīre is also the root of such hearing-related words in English as audible (“capable of being heard”), audience (which first meant “the act or state of hearing”), and the combining form audio-, which appears in various words relating to sound. It wasn't until the late 19th century that the noun audition began being used for an entertainer's trial performance. And the verb audition, meaning “to test or try out in an audition,” didn't appear on the English language stage until the mid-20th century.

Are Americans Being Subverted And Demoralized? And What On Earth Is Wrong With Boeing?
In October 1992, Dr. Ellen Haskell begins a new therapy practice in Princeton after a tragic error with a former client. Demoralized by her failure, Ellen strives to restore her emotional and professional confidence. Her parents have departed for Greece, leaving Ellen alone in their secluded country house. As her clients are introduced through their individual sessions, Ellen becomes unnerved when she receives hang-up phone calls and a series of bizarre gifts from an anonymous admirer—first at her office and then at home. As the obsessive lover increasingly invades her life, Ellen's anxiety crescendos and she begins to fear the stalker's behavior will escalate into violence.The Psychologist's Shadow is a simmering literary suspense and a portrait of a compassionate, introspective therapist who finds herself in a dangerous struggle. As tension accumulates, the reader gains insights during sessions and through the stalker's journal entries, which serve as discordant counterpoints. Who is the shadow lover? An acquaintance, a shopkeeper, an old boyfriend, or a client?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/houseofmysteryradio.

How To Play New Edo, a tabletop roleplaying game. Transcript: Hello! I'm the GM for an upcoming episode of Firebreathing Kittens. I'll be running using the gameplay mechanics from a game called NewEdo, a Neon Samurai role-playing game. This is a rules discussion episode meant to help teach my players and any listeners the basic mechanics of NewEdo so it's easier to begin playing. I'll be going over two main topics. The first topic is character creation, where I'll discuss Paths, Lineages, and the Priority Buy System, that's B-U-Y buy, with its five associated Priority Abilities. I'll explain starting equipment and cash at the end of this topic. The second topic is gameplay mechanics. Since NewEdo is a 300 page rulebook, I won't have time to go over every single mechanic, but I will go over mechanics that pertain to some of the characters playing in my upcoming episode, as well as common mechanics used in most TRPGs. I'll also discuss Legend and Fate, two important mechanics that are exclusive to NewEdo. With that said, I'll begin discussing character creation, starting with Paths and Lineages. Paths A Path is similar to a class, but instead of defining your character's archetype going forward, it sets up your character's purpose with some starting features and equipment, allowing you to build yourself however you want. You can decide which Path best suits you and what it provides starting on page 72. Lineages A Lineage is what would be considered a race in other TRPGs. With the exception of Hisanaka, you have unrestricted access to all Lineages, each with two Cultures to choose from, providing unique gameplay differences. Hisanaka is a special Lineage only available with a Priority A Ranking in Augmentations, and has no special Culture. Lineages are found starting on page 132. The Priority Buy System After deciding your Path and Lineage, you need to decide what order you prioritize your Priority Abilities. You have five Priority Abilities to consider: ● Backgrounds ● Magic ● Augmentations ● Skills ● and Core Traits You must assign Ranks A through E (highest to lowest) between these five Priority Abilities in order to determine your character building resources. Refer to the Priority Buy Resource Allocation Table on page 58 to know what you get at each Rank. Backgrounds Backgrounds are associated with your character's backstory and grant certain benefits. There are five Backgrounds you can invest points into: ● Contacts ● Followers ● Soul ● Status ● and Wealth You can study up on what each Background provides at each Rank starting on page 144. Refer to the Background Score to Rank table on the same page to know how many points are needed to increase your Rank. All Backgrounds begin with 1 point each, and no Background may be higher than 61 at character creation. Magic Depending on your Path, Lineage, and Priority Rank, you can gain access to Magic. If you're looking for a Path with access to multiple spells, called Rotes in this system, choose Shugonshi. If you just need a single Rote, such as an attack or heal, look through TIer Zero through Three for an appropriate Rote, then choose D through A for a Magic Priority Rank that gives you access to the Rote you chose. Keep in mind the Casting Skill associated with each Rote, as you need to roll that Skill plus Shinpi Rank to cast. When you gain access to Magic through methods mentioned earlier, you should receive a bonus amount of Shinpi. Shinpi is a special Core Trait that, unlike other Core Traits, begins at zero instead of ten. You'll need to raise your Shinpi Rank through bonuses mentioned previously and Trait points received from Priority Buy in order to cast Magic effectively. If you happen to choose the Shugonshi Path, Awakened Kitsune Lineage, or Priority A Magic, you gain access to a Mikata Kami. You can choose any Kami you have access to and gain the associated Mikata Kami bonus. A Mikata Kami is also a pet with its own character sheet. For more details, read pg. 268 through 274. Augmentations Each Augmentation, or Aug, has a Noise Rating and Biofeedback Percentage. The points from the Priority Buy System are spent on the combined Noise Ratings of each Aug you get. If you increase an Aug's Rank, you multiply the Noise cost by the Aug's Rank. You need to have enough Core Trait points to install any Augs. If the combined Noise of a single Trait from all Augs exceeds the associated Trait, you can't install anymore with that Trait. For any leftover points, you can spend four points for a permanent 1d4 bonus to any Skill. This doesn't count as a Skill Rank; rather it's an external bonus to those Skill rolls. Any other leftover points may be added to the Wealth Background one for one. Biofeedback Percentage is added to the Fate Card for each Aug you gain. Keep in mind the percentage does not multiply with each Aug Rank. So if you install a Rank 5 Aug with 1% Biofeedback, it's still 1%. Skills The list of Skills starts on pg. 191. You have a certain amount of dice to spend on Skills called Focus. You're limited to three Focus per Skill at character creation. Each Focus you put into a Skill increases that Skill's Rank, which may grant a bonus. Bonuses can be found under each Skill's description. Traits There are seven Core Traits to choose from: ● Heart ● Power ● Reflex ● Presence ● Perception ● Savvy ● and Shinpi Each of them, except Shinpi, begin with ten points. Shinpi begins with zero. For every ten points in a Trait, you gain a d10 to all associated checks. You can only invest up to 15 points in any Trait, though bonuses from things like Lineage and Backgrounds don't count towards this limit. At the end of character creation, your highest Trait becomes your starting Legend Score. There are also four Derived Traits that are affected by the previously mentioned Core Traits: ● Resolve ● Move ● Initiative ● and Defence Starting Equipment and Cash You gain basic starting equipment from your Path. The Path descriptions each include a note on starting equipment, and all of them grant at least one weapon. That weapon, and any other items, will be described only by its Quality rating. You can look up item qualities on the tables in Chapter 13 starting on pg. 233. In addition, you start with cash equal to a Wealth roll, 1d10 per Rank in the Background, times 100. That wraps up Character Creation. I'll now begin going over various combat mechanics that my players and I will be using in our upcoming session. Again, this won't be a list of every mechanic in the 300 page rulebook, but I'll be going over some universal actions and their mechanics in NewEdo. I'll end with an explanation of this system's unique Legend and Fate mechanics. Movement One of the first things everyone needs to understand in any TRPG is movement. In NewEdo, your Move determines how many metres you can shift per turn. Move is equal to your Reflex and Heart Trait divided by your Size rounded up. Moving takes up a Move Action, which is one of three types of actions a character can make on their turn. The three types of actions are: ● Move Action ● Quick Action ● and Full Action You can make one of each of these actions per turn. As I mentioned earlier, moving uses up a Move Action, however there may be other actions that specify using a Move Action other than just moving, such as Taking Aim or driving a vehicle. Attacking Another common mechanic in any TRPG is attacking. An attack is usually a Full Action, but can also be a Quick Action in some cases. Two common types of attacks are Melee and Projectile. I'll explain the mechanics of each. ● Melee Attacks are made by rolling Power plus the appropriate weapon Skill, and your Target Number is your opponent's Defence. ● Projectile Attacks are made by rolling Perception plus the appropriate weapon Skill, and your Target Number is your opponent's Size multiplied by your weapon's Range Modifier. ○ You may call Raises before attacking to increase damage. Each Raise adds five to your Target Number, but increases the weapon's damage by 1d10. After hitting with an attack, you need to roll for damage. Here's what you need to roll: ● For Melee, roll Power plus the weapon's damage dice. ● For Projectile, roll the weapon's damage dice. Remember to add any d10's from Raises. Taking Aim, Advantages, and Disadvantages When setting up for a Projectile Attack, you can use your Move Action to Take Aim in order to gain an Advantage. An Advantage is simply an extra d10 added to a roll, one that can explode like a Trait dice. A Disadvantage is the opposite, removing a d10 from a roll. If there are no d10's remaining, you remove the highest dice instead. Advantages and Disadvantages come up in many different scenarios, and can cancel each other out if both are present. Taking Aim is one of the most common ways to gain an advantage in combat. Rolling Skill Checks To determine what dice you roll during an attack or skill check, you need to check the appropriate Trait and Skill. For your Trait, the tens place of your Trait determines how many d10 you can roll for the check. Keep in mind that d10's explode, meaning that if you roll a ten, you can re-roll that dice and add the next result to the total. After determining how many d10's from your Trait, add the Focus Dice from the appropriate Skill. These dice can range from a d4 to d12, but they don't explode on rolling max. The Target Number of non combat related skill checks is determined by the GM based on the difficulty. A Sample Contest Target Number table can be found on pg. 212. Casting Magic Similar to attacks and skill checks, casting magic also uses a Trait and Skill. All Rotes use Shinpi as its Trait, and with the exception of the four Common Rotes, all Rotes have an associated Skill that is rolled when casting. For example, the Soothe Rote uses the Meditation Skill, so if you plan on using Soothe, it's recommended you also have training in Meditation. You can find a list of all Rotes starting on pg. 158. Each Rote lists the following: ● Name ● Action ● Target Number ● Legend Cost ● Range ● Duration ● Casting Skill ● and a Description Restoring Legend If you find yourself casting a lot of magic and running out of Temporary Legend, you can use your Followers Background to restore some lost Legend Points. Rolling for Followers takes a Full Action, and you roll d10's equal to your Followers Rank. You can roll Followers once per session. Stealth To make an attempt at Stealth, there must be some reasonable chance of you not being seen: darkness, fog, a distraction, someone or something blocking sight of you. You don't necessarily need to know where your (potential) observers are to attempt Stealth, but if you're able to scout out all observers (guards, cameras, etc.) prior to or during your Stealth attempt, you gain Advantage on subsequent Stealth rolls. A Stealth roll is made as an Opposed Contest, where the character attempting Stealth rolls Reflex plus the Stealth Skill against any opponent's passive or active Perception. Passive Perception is a Free Action, rolled using only Perception, and is for situations where no one's actively watching. Active Perception is a Quick Action Interrupt, rolled using either Perception plus Survival or Perception plus Investigation. While in Stealth, you may only move at half your Move speed and must end your turn obscured or hidden in some way, or you immediately lose Stealth. If you dash across an open space while in Stealth, you may become Exposed if any observers catch sight of you. Cover Cover can only protect you from Ranged attacks. There are three types of Cover: ● No Cover: Protects less than 30% of your body. Provides no bonuses. ● Half Cover: Protects between 30 to 95% of your body. Ranged Attacks against you have Disadvantage. ● Full Cover: Only 5% of your body is exposed. You can't be targeted by Ranged Attacks barring a few exceptions. With some of the basic mechanics out of the way, I'd like to focus on some specific Skills that certain players for my upcoming game have chosen. There are 37 different Skills to choose in NewEdo, so this is only a small fraction of what's available. Dodge Dodge is a unique Skill that adds to a character's Defence against Melee Attacks. An invaluable Skill for an up close and personal fighter. At Rank 3, you can start Dodging Projectile Attacks. Dodging is a Quick Action Interrupt, so it's useful in conjunction with moving and acting while being attacked. Perfect for a martial fighter or ninja. Banter A fun social Skill that uses the Reflex Trait. Banter is used to steer a conversation with multiple people, helping or hindering others. At Ranks 2 and 3, you gain the Abilities Chime In and Burn, which allow you to make a Quick Action Interrupt to either add or subtract your Banter Roll from someone else's Social Roll. Athletics Like in most TRPG's, Athletics is your physical prowess in running, jumping, climbing, swimming, etc. In NewEdo, you unlock some special bonuses at later Ranks. At Rank 2, your Climb, Swim, and Lifting modifiers all increased. At Rank 3, you gain Tumble, an ability that allows you to reduce falling damage by the amount rolled from an Athletics Check. Unarmed Unarmed is your ability to fight without a weapon. It increases your ability to Grapple, and quickly increases damage to unarmed attack early on at Ranks 1 and 2. At Rank 3, you gain the ability to call Raises with unarmed attacks, a mechanic usually reserved to Projectile Attacks. Tactics Tactics checks are made right before the beginning of a fight. The leaders of both squads roll Savvy plus Tactics plus 1d10 for every active teammate to determine who's superior. The losing team begins combat Demoralized, a status condition that reduces their Initiative and Resolve by 5 each, and they can no longer take Quick Action Interrupt Attacks against Exposed targets. If you need to look up other Skills and what bonuses you get at each rank, begin on pg. 191. I'll finish things up by going over two of NewEdo's unique mechanics: Legend and Fate. Legend Legend is your character's overall power level, and measures how “Legendary” you are in the world. At a certain Legend ranking, your Path is increased, giving you new abilities. In addition to acting as your power level, it also fuels a resource known as Temporary Legend. Your Temporary Legend is restored between sessions, and it's used to cast Rotes and activate certain abilities, usually from Skill Ranks. It also acts as a last ditch HP Pool, known as Burning Legend. If you take damage past zero, you begin burning through Temporary Legend. Once all of your HP and Temporary Legend are depleted, you die for good. Fate Every character has a Fate Card, which acts as a personal random d100 roll chart. There are many things you can add to your Fate Card that come from character creation. You can roll for Fate once per turn, unless otherwise specified, to gamble for good fortune versus bad luck. When rolling for Fate, it's important to remember you can only roll when there are stakes, and only before you roll for a normal check. If you roll a Critical Success, you automatically succeed. Rolling a Botch means you automatically fail. And that concludes this episode of Rules Explanation for NewEdo! I hope that my players can use this to help prepare them for their upcoming game, but it should be noted that there's much more to learn than what was mentioned here. I encourage my players and anyone else listening to read up on more of the rules, especially those that pertain to your character. This is a large game, so it'll require a lot of trial and error, even for veterans like myself, however this system holds a lot of potential for detailed character development, tactical combat, and immersive storytelling. If you haven't picked this game up yet, and it sounds interesting, please consider buying it from Salty dash Games dot com. That's Salty, HYPHEN, Games dot com. If you still aren't convinced, please listen to my upcoming episode, listen in on our game, and decide then! Thank you, and goodbye!

https://youtu.be/mgOHTkhJwXA Notice how quickly we went from “We're just criticizing Israel's policies!” to celebrating executions of Jews and bombing synagogues. Hamas's barbaric terrorist attack not only exposed Israel's fragility, but a global network of antisemitism in academia, media, and our very own friendships. The veil has been lifted. We're in a Roger Waters wet dream, where he can finally slay Jews and stop milking 50-year-old songs.

To be “Demoralized” means to be deflated of all that makes you strong – to have too many bad and discouraging things happen to you until you lose your mental clarity, and lose your drive to bring good into the world. It includes disempowerment, but it takes it one terrible step further – to where you lose your awareness of what is GOOD, and what is right. The most important first step of healing is to recover your faith that GOOD is real, and it matters.

When I was in Jerusalem last week sitting shiva for our father, after folks gave their condolences and shared their memories, they would ask me for my take on Israel. The conversation was sobering, making me feel naïve and disconnected from the real Israel that is. Me: In Greater Jewish Boston, we are so excited to be marking Israel at 75. A big contingent from our shul is going to celebrate Israel at 75! A big contingent from the whole Boston Jewish community is going to mark this joyful and incredible milestone! How are you thinking about Israel at 75? Comforters: One of two responses. The less common: “Not on our radar screen at all. We've given it no thought till you just mentioned it.” By far the more common: “I hope we get there. Not clear that we will make it to 75 as one country.” In the shiva house, I had the sinking feeling that there was not one death I was mourning, but two. Something has died in Israel beyond our father – a belief of Israelis in a bright future for Israel. Nothing makes that clearer than two titles of Danny Gordis. When he and his family made Aliyah in the 90s, during Oslo, his first book about Israel was called If a Land Can Make You Cry. The title evoked the pathos, the emotion, the ups and downs, the resilience, but the fundamental hopefulness of a nation whose national anthem is Hatikvah. That title seems long gone. The new title, from his piece this week: Drowning in a Sea of Resentment and Hate, It's Far from Clear that Israel Can Make it Back to Shore. This piece details how numerous tribes within Israel—settlers, Haredis, Israeli Arabs, Palestinian Israelis, Ashkenazi, Mizrachi—feel betrayed (his word) by the state. One can sense this hate in the friction over dedicated war hero pilots who are protesting the erosion of Israeli democracy being called a “pathetic bunch of deserters” by the ruling coalition. What do we do about it? This week Thomas Friedman offered us another sobering essay with a sobering title: “American Jews, You Have to Choose Sides on Israel.” He quotes Rabbi Sharon Brous who speaks of rabbis giving Death by Israel sermons. Is he right? Is our response to this moment to see it as a political fork in the road, and we have to choose, and bear the consequences of our choice? Is there another way to frame and respond to this moment? How does our weekly Torah portion (uncannily, it involves a civil war, a milchemet achim, in the wake of the sin of the golden calf) help us frame this sad and sober moment in the history of Israel? How can we help? Can we take a principled stand in favor of democracy and against Israel becoming an authoritarian regime without checks and balances without adding to the division of this moment?

3 - Rich opens the show discussing the border crisis and the response, or lackthereof from Biden, and possible Presidential candidate Gavin Newsome is saying something about it. But another couple busloads of immigrants are expected to hit Philly tomorrow. 310 - Are we in a pandemic? Democrats actions depict the border as not a problem, but fight to pay off student loans under the guise of Covid. 330 - If Democrats end the filibuster and are able to bring in Puerto Rico as a state it will be over for the current political spectrum. 340 - Republicans are all talk until they get into power and then they start spending like Democrats. Doesn't the timing of Scam Bankman-Fried's arrest come at quite the convenient moment? Rich gives his insight on the situation. 4 - Democrats don't comment on the flood of immigrants coming into the country. 410 - Rich moves to discussing the Twitter files and CNN's response to not being the ones to receive the files to break the story. They also made another erroneous claim that the laptop story is still disinformation. These people don't stand up for anything except for their pet projects, but no tangible issues and all their principles. 420 - The Luggage Thief gets his slap on the wrist. 430 - Rick Grimaldi joins the show to talk about the war on employers. The National labor board seems to be way out of their realm trying to advance their progressive agendas. It's always the corporation's philosophy that is the problem according to the Democrats instead of allowing businesses to make the best decisions for the company. 450 - The Luggage Kleptomaniac also worked to keep parents in the dark when it comes to schools giving gender-affirming care to their child. We cannot be complicit in allowing this to happen to our youth. 5 - If we lose Title 42, we will lose more than a 747 plane's worth of people daily as the gates will be wide open. 510 - Democrats are willingly letting illegal immigrants in and rather than treating the immigration problems, they would rather cater to the ones that come in. Just playing straight politics on this issue. 520 - Representative Amen Brown joins us once again to discuss his big announcement tomorrow, and his fight to better the city one day at a time. He discusses law enforcement at all levels, the minutiae of Philadelphia politics(especially on a notorious day in the city), and his view for a brighter tomorrow for Philadelphia. 550 - Did you know unvaccinated drivers are the worst? What a ludacris article. 6 - Rich talks with Tom Homan about border control, Title 42, fentanyl, and the overall morale of everyone stationed down Mexico way. 620 - Have you watched the White Lotus? How about Derry Girls? What do you think of the Sixers stadium news? 630 - Need makeup for your euthanization? 640 - The White House keeps pushing the false narrative of the vaccine saving lives. Fauci is so unbelievably tone deaf in this clip.
Multiple factors came together to demoralize the Qurayshi coalition and got them to retreat, ending the battle:- Imam Ali's victory over Amr ibn al-Wadd - Shortage of food and fodder. They had prepared for quick battle, not a month-long seige - A violent storm that trashed the Qurayshi camp - Distrust sown between the kuffar and the jews by a secret convert - Some Arabs deciding they'd rather be ruled by Arab than by Jews, even of those Arabs are MuslimsLecture notes available at http://www.why-quran.org/?p=586.Subscribe at http://www.why-quran.org/subscribe to watch the lectures live and participate in the Q&A at the end of each class.Video recording of this lecture + Q&A available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL9k-WuTfFE&list=PLpkB0iwLgfTat-Pgh4W3WFmupPamiC9UT.

The US military has been demoralized in more ways than one. Diversity and inclusive training isn't allowing references to moms and dad anymore. What once was the most conservative element of American society is dissolving into political correctness. And, now the desalination begins as the salt pulls out. The Covid-19 vaccine campaign has weeded out much of the more committed Christian population. Will there be any salt left? It's dangerous to the faith, and dangerous to a country to lose its salt. This program includes: 1.
