Podcasts about discontent

It's been 600 days since the war between Israel and Gaza began, triggered by the October the 7th attacks carried out by Hamas; a moment that reshaped the landscape of the Israel-Palestine conflict.Now, we're at a critical moment. Discontent is growing inside Israel - particularly among the families of hostages - who are calling for an end to the conflict, fearing that it's harming the chances of their loved ones returning home.Meanwhile, international pressure is mounting. Reports suggest a rift between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, as countries like the UK, France, and Canada have spoken out strongly against Israel's blockade on aid, calling its actions unacceptable. As public opinion shifts and political tensions rise, we take a closer look at where things stand - and where they might be heading.

POTUS: SKINNY BUDGET AND DISCONTENT. . RICHARD EPSTEIN, CIVITAS INSTITUTE 1861  NOT PREPARED

Are we looking at a spring of discontent? It's the final push ahead of this week's local elections, and what Keir Starmer wants to talk about is expanding the NHS app – which he says will cut waiting lists and end the days of the health service living in the ‘dark ages'. However, what people are actually talking about is public sector pay. The independent pay review body has recommended pay rises of around 4 per cent for teachers and nurses. Will there be industrial action? Are Labour going to be pushed into another round of public sector pay increases? Meanwhile, after Ben Houchen's comments this weekend, the murmurs of a Tory/Reform pact refuse to go away. Was his a helpful intervention? Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Isabel Hardman. Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Jonathan and Rob look at the chaotic preparations behind Cameroon's campaign, discussing last-minute squad upheaval, internal conflicts between teammates, and the unexpected recall of a man who would become a legend: Roger Milla.

Good morning and welcome to this episode of the Dear Church Podcast! Today's episode will be a discussion on complaining and discontentment.If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail us at podcast@cgsnj.org.As always, we love you, we miss you, enjoy!

Here's a great summary of how we often live life: wishing it could be different. We often miss the reality of life because while actual events are happening we are full of thoughts of how it ought to be instead. Like a childish tantrum we say, "I don't like this! I want something else!" This causes us to miss out on real time experience, the imperfect relationship, the less than perfect day, the imperfect you. We're not present because of we reject what is happening. What if you accepted some of the bad? You might experience the great along the way. Support the showBe Encouraged podcast is practical, in the moment, quick encouragement.

With reports of ‘billions' of spending cuts earmarked for the Chancellor's Spring Statement, taking place later this month, Michael Gove and Kate Andrews join Katy Balls to discuss what exactly Rachel Reeves could cut. With little fiscal headroom and sluggish forecasts of growth, Reeves doesn't appear to have many options. It's likely that welfare will be targeted, and there are reports that Labour's opposition to new North Sea oil & gas licences may be relaxed to stimulate growth. One area that appears off the table is defence – following the Prime Minister's pledge to cut international aid in order to fund new defence spending.  But if all these reports are true, where does that leave Labour ideologically? Could Labour's left be heading for what Michael calls their own ‘winter of discontent'? And what appetite does a weary British public have for further spending cuts? Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Discontent with Democratic U.S. Senator John Fetterman is growing among some Pennsylvania voters. The Eagles and Chief meet on Sunday in the Super Bowl.

More cases of Avian influenza have surfaced in commercial poultry flocks in several Central Pennsylvania counties.

Why did Trump win? Did the Democrats lean too heavily on identity politics?Are people being driven by economic frustrations? Or cultural and social issues? Have we entered a new political era? Is this the end of an approach to economics that began with Reagan and Thatcher? The questions are endless for trying to understand this political moment and for diagnosing our current political condition. Harvard's Michael Sandel offers answers on all these and more. He explains to Steve Paikin why he thinks the left lost its way, how Bill Clinton paved the way for Trump, and how the left needs to reclaim a new type of identity politics and restore a sense of dignity to all of those that feel forgotten after three decades of hyper globalization.

Click here for Lunar New Year community livestreaming signup. 6pm Pacific Time, Jan 29thI never deliberately timed this piece with the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump, yet now that we have stumbled upon this occasion, it also seems fitting. For to answer the question “what will Trump do about China?” it is necessary to revisit and review the recent history of U.S.-China relations, the dynamics of both American and Chinese domestic politics, and the macro forces shaping the political environment. Luckily, we are gifted with another piece of oral history from our honorable guest, Prof. Susan Shirk of UC San Diego.Followers of this Substack will find her a familiar figure, for we have so far published two pieces of her oral history (part one and part two). For new readers, I will introduce Prof. Shirk again: She is a research professor at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy, director-emeritus of the 21st Century China Center, and director-emeritus of the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC). She is one of the West's foremost thinkers on Chinese elite politics and political institutions, who, having first travelled to China in the early ‘70s, has witnessed the country from the Mao to the Xi eras. Between 1997 and 2000, Susan served in the Clinton administration as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, overseeing U.S. relations with China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mongolia.This interview took place last summer. Much has happened since then, not least the election of Trump. Some parts of this interview may be slightly outdated, but I find it holds up well. Many regard Trump as a hawkish figure on China, so it is refreshing to hear Susan raise the possibility of a U.S.-China reengagement under Trump. America has a history of anti-communist presidents exercising a policy of engagement, from Richard Nixon to Ronald Reagan; being anti-communist is almost a prerequisite in American politics to practice rapprochement, since only then are you trusted enough to speak to enemies. Maybe history will repeat itself under Trump.However, most of this interview — which was edited for brevity and clarity — is not about Trump but about China's own political future. We review missed opportunities and key turning points in the recent history of U.S.-China relations, political changes under Xi Jinping, Susan's personal relationships with key Chinese foreign policy figures Wang Yi and Fu Ying, and a contemplation of Chinese politics after Xi.Hope you enjoy.Best,LeoFor quick navigation to the specific sections:The death of U.S.-China cooperation: “China's behaviour changed.

In this sermon, Pastor Phil looks at Paul's command to the Philippians to “Do all things without grumbling or disputing." Complaining and divisive speech reflect discontent and a lack of trust in God's sovereignty. Paul calls believers to live as children of God, shining as lights in a dark world and holding fast to the gospel. Guarding our hearts and tongues strengthens our witness, reflects God's character, and glorifies Christ. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

We look for safety and security at the beginning of our relationships… so why do we end up resenting these same things in our marriages? Let's get curious about this 180° turnaround with a real-life example from one of my clients. Vicki built her life around feeling secure, but then she started to feel restless and even oppressed by the predictability of her marriage. She started wondering - “Who's to blame when we get what we want… but we're unhappy? What happens when we feel buried by the stability of the lives we've created? What if we feel utterly lost after the kids leave home… and we're not sure where to put our energy and focus?” In this episode, I answer these questions with an explanation of The Relationship Pyramid. Tune in for a deep dive into the purpose of safety, security, and predictability in our most intimate relationships.Mentioned In This Episode:Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer?

The Trump presidency is going to affect your investments and today we discuss how! We talk about focusing on shifting paradigms, market trends, and the need for pragmatic investing. We criticize tech stocks, social media's evolving role in information dissemination, and reflections on media partisanship. Our overarching goal is for you to focus on investment opportunities created by policy changes rather than being swayed by ideology.  Today we discuss...     Reflections on self-awareness and understanding societal perceptions after the election.     Observations about the market downturn, especially in tech stocks.     Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter and its cultural implications.     The significance of comedy and free speech in maintaining societal balance.     Discontent with corporate media as biased propaganda, regardless of political alignment.     Concerns about the long-term sustainability of pensions, Medicare, and Social Security in the 2030s.     Inflation's impact on savings and purchasing power as a critical financial concern.     Discussion of policy proposals like free college and their feasibility in a paradigm-shifting era.     The potential economic disruptions from AI and other transformative technologies.     Shifts in investment strategies to align with anticipated policy changes under new leadership.     The importance of separating politics from investment decisions to maximize financial outcomes.     The strategic approach to capitalizing on corporate tax cuts and their impact on major companies.     Critique of ideological investing for potentially leaving significant financial gains on the table.     Nuclear energy is gaining bipartisan support due to its reliability as a load power source.     Abundant, cheap energy is critical for societal progress, as scarcity leads to economic stagnation and conflicts over resources.     Proposals like replacing income tax with tariffs reflect the trade-offs inherent in policy changes.     Recognizing the populist movement as a response to frustrations with big institutions and a desire for greater voter control.     Misinformation in charts and emphasizing skepticism when analyzing data visuals online.     Identifying signs of euphoria in market sentiment as a potential warning for cautious investing.     Contrarian investing during periods of extreme optimism or pessimism as a timeless strategy.
