The Trump administration has begun carving up the Education Department, signing six new agreements that shift major K-12 and higher ed programs to other federal agencies. USA TODAY Congress reporter Zach Schermele explains why these moves are happening now, how they build on a Supreme Court decision that allowed an earlier transfer to the Labor Department and what's at stake for school districts that rely on Title I funding and federal oversight. He also breaks down concerns around special education, the future of student loan services, and whether these changes could widen disparities the department was created to fix.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The holiday season has a way of turning capable, health-conscious women into overextended versions of themselves. Between travel, parties, family expectations, and endless to-do lists, it feels like you either have to be perfect or give up completely. In this episode of Total Health in Midlife, Elizabeth Sherman shows you a third option—the Bare Minimum Holiday Plan. She explains how defining your personal "minimums" for movement, food, rest, and emotional care can help you stay consistent without adding pressure or guilt. If you've ever started December with great intentions and ended up saying, "Forget it, I'll start again in January," this conversation will change how you approach the season. You'll learn to find a rhythm that keeps you grounded and proud—no perfection required. This is Episode 3 in the 4-part Holiday Health Series, designed to help midlife women feel strong, calm, and in control from Thanksgiving through the New Year.     The Biggest Problem Midlife Women Face Regarding Holiday Health Most midlife women approach the holidays with an all-or-nothing mindset. They push themselves to maintain every routine, every tradition, and every expectation—until one missed workout or extra cookie becomes the signal to abandon it all. This perfection-then-collapse cycle fuels exhaustion, weight gain, inflammation, and guilt that lasts well into January. What's really happening isn't lack of willpower—it's lack of boundaries and realistic planning. Midlife bodies and nervous systems need recovery and rhythm, not rigid rules. Without clear "bare minimums," women default to overdoing or giving up, never finding the steady middle ground where real health lives.     WHAT YOU'LL LEARN How to identify your non-negotiable habits that keep you feeling good—without overcomplicating them Why setting bare minimums actually improves consistency and self-trust How to avoid the all-or-nothing spiral when life, travel, or family chaos hits The surprising link between doing less and sustaining energy, metabolism, and mood How to use the Feel Good Holiday  Playbook to stay grounded all season long     What You Can Do Right Now Grab a notebook and make four quick lists: movement, food, sleep, and emotional care. For each, write down the bare minimum that helps you feel like yourself. Maybe it's a 15-minute walk, one vegetable per meal, a 10 p.m. bedtime, or five minutes alone in the car before you go inside. These minimums become your anchor. When the calendar fills up or travel throws you off, come back to these simple actions instead of giving up. If you want extra guidance, structure, and reminders, the Feel Good Holiday Playbook walks you through creating and keeping these habits with quick videos, worksheets, and email support.     The Listener Takeaway: Why This Episode Matters You don't need a perfect plan to feel good this holiday season—you need a doable one. By defining your bare minimums, you replace guilt and chaos with clarity and calm. You'll stop starting over every Monday (or every January) and finish the season feeling proud, rested, and connected to your body. Because health isn't built in grand gestures. It's built in the small, steady choices you keep—especially when life gets messy.     RESOURCES Feel Good Holiday Playbook Episode 2 — Food & Body Triggers Episode 2 — The Invisible Load and Boundary Setting Episode 4 — Dismantling the Martyr Myth   Get full show notes and more information here: https://elizabethsherman.com/HHS-3

Economy Interesting Development – Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Announces New Limits on Foreign Steel and Aluminum, With New 25% Tariff on Steel Derivative Components   Prime Minister Mark Carney is conceding defeat to President Trump and positioning the Canadian economy to be compliant with U.S-Mexico trade regulations. However, Carney is not saying that, indeed he cannot; he's spent over a year telling Canadians that President Trump's trade and economic demands are not going to be accepted by Canada.  However, what he is factually doing is exactly what President Trump has demanded. Prime Minister Carney is saying he is restricting Steel and Aluminum imports from non-free trade agreement countries, and he is lowering the tonnage of Steel and Aluminum that will be permitted for import.  His claim is that this approach will help drive up “domestic demand” for Canadian Steel and Aluminum, but that's ancillary to the real objective. President Trump has demanded Canada stop importing cheap steel and aluminum mostly from China; including manufactured component goods that are made with steel and aluminum (think autos).  Canada would not stop, because they could not stop.  Their manufacturing base, green energy and climate change economy, is more of a component assembly system now. So, President Trump hit Canada with a 35% tariff, and things got ugly.  In June Trump raised the tariff to 50%. The back and forth has gone on all year. Carney now announces restrictions on imported steel and aluminum, as well as restrictions on imported derivative goods that come from steel and aluminum, in combination with a spending plan to bolster the Canadian steel and aluminum manufacturing base.  This ends up shifting the Canadian industrial sector to making steel and aluminum products without Chinese import dependency.

DOGE Trump White House Unleashes Media Bias Tracker to Crush Fake News Narratives  The Trump administration has launched a brand-new “Media Bias Tracker” directly on the White House website. Unveiled on Friday, this tool is designed to call out and document the endless stream of false, misleading, and biased stories peddled by outlets that have spent years attacking President Donald Trump and his agenda. According to the White House, the tracker serves as a “record of the media's false and misleading stories flagged by The White House.” The tracker highlights “offenses” from major news publications, including an “Offender Hall of Shame” and a leaderboard ranking the worst culprits in spreading misinformation. Described as “a race to the bottom,” this feature ranks outlets based on repeat offenses. Topping the Hall of Shame list is The Washington Post, followed by rebranded leftist mouthpieces like MSNBC (now MS NOW), CBS News, CNN, The New York Times, Politico, and The Wall Street Journal. In response to their top spot, a spokesperson for the Washington Post said, “The Washington Post is proud of its accurate, rigorous journalism.” The page also features a “Media Offender of the Week,” currently blasting outlets for exaggerating Trump's calls to hold Democrats accountable for their seditious behavior.

Her exact words (full clip attached): “I don't think many of the tech mafia wives realize… they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset. Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies. A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.” Then she turns the knife inward: “These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up. But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken. At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.' Social justice + climate change — it gets progressive women 100% of the time.” She even says many now believe the biggest “climate change issues” are actually geoengineering issues.

Normally, the smart people of Honduras, would reject her, and elect Tito Asfura, but the Communists are trying to trick the people by running a third Candidate, Salvador Nasralla. Nasralla is no friend of Freedom. A borderline Communist, he helped Xiomara Castro by running as her Vice President. He won, and helped Castro win. Then he resigned, and is now pretending to be an anti-Communist only for the purposes of splitting Asfura's vote. The people of Honduras must not be tricked again. The only real friend of Freedom in Honduras is Tito Asfura. Tito and I can work together to fight the Narcocommunists, and bring needed aid to the people of Honduras. I cannot work with Moncada and the Communists, and Nasralla is not a reliable partner for Freedom, and cannot be trusted.

E) Senator Slotkin, the former CIA ghoul, goes on the news and is very careful to state that she can't identify any unlawful orders that have been given. F) boom, the WaPo delivers the story claiming unlawful orders. G) Friday evening, everyone on the left hits social media – with paid amplification – about the unlawful orders.

Venezuela Issues Statement After President Trump Orders All Aircraft to Avoid Regime-Controlled Airspace   In Venezuela's statement, the regime accused the United States of attempting to “intimidate Venezuela” and framed Trump's announcement as an attack on Latin America as a whole. The press release ignored every factual concern raised by U.S. intelligence, including increased military involvement in cocaine transport and the regime's long-standing partnership with the Cartel of the Suns. Today's outburst from the Maduro regime is another example of Venezuela deflecting blame while its role in regional crime expands. Meanwhile, President Trump's position is clear: protect international aviation, disrupt drug networks, and stop allowing a criminal regime to use its airspace as a staging ground.

Many are struggling with discernment, but the strategic reality is simple: Maduro hasn't controlled Venezuela for years. The deep state held the reins. Then the guardians caught him, flipped him and weaponized the façade of control against the deep state. They may publicly acknowledge it; they may bury it. But the aftermath will speak for itself. In the days immediately following his surrender or “death,” watch the information floodgates burst wide open…especially involving U.S. elections. The timing will be surgical.

Zelensky’s Sacked Top Aide ‘Escapes’ To Front-Line To ‘Hide’ From Corruption Investigators  Andriy Yermak, the man who until just over 24 hours ago was Zelensky’s right hand man and the president’s top most powerful aid as chief of staff, and Ukraine’s appointed chief negotiator with the US on the peace process, is going to the front lines, apparently to “fight”. After his home and offices were raided by Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigators Friday related to the ongoing massive energy sector kickback scandal, Yermak announced by text message to The New York Post, “I'm going to the front and am prepared for any reprisals.” He followed with, “I am an honest and decent person.”  According to the lengthy analysis [emphasis ZH]:  Zelensky's fixer, enforcer, gatekeeper, and indispensable ally, isn't a “corruption scandal.” It's Washington slapping the table. NABU, the U.S.-trained attack dog of Ukrainian politics, didn't raid the Presidential Office by accident.It raided to remind Zelensky that the war isn't his to command, the peace process isn't his to veto, and the leash around Bankova Street is held in Washington, not Kiev and certainly not European chihuahuas. Because the real story isn't Yermak's resignation. The real story is the West turning on itself over how to end a war Russia has already won.      Source: thegatewaypundit.com Ukrainian Delegation Arrives in the US To Meet Secretary Rubio, Witkoff and Kushner for Peace Talks  Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky announced Saturday (29) that a peace talks delegation was on its way to the United States.

But under the second Trump term, the administration plans to gut many government agencies and has canceled one million contracts for federal workers so far. “We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next,” she tells Laura Flanders in this exclusive interview. “So we have to rush to each other's sides.” In this episode, Nelson and Flanders explore labor movement tactics and strategies, wins and losses, and why general strikes and cross-industry worker solidarity are critical in this moment. What is her message and her mission for 2025? All that, plus a commentary from Laura on floods and profits.“We have to understand that if one group is under attack, we're next. So we have to rush to each other's sides. But we can also turn this around and not just be on defense. . . We are in a crisis. Yeah. Our world is burning. We can actually set the agenda and make things better.”Guest:  Sara Nelson: International President of the Association of Flight Attendants- (AFA-CWA) (representing 55,000 Flight Attendants at 20 airlines)  Watch the episode released on YouTube July 18th 5pm ET; PBS World Channel July 20th, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Organized crime has long captured America's imagination—from Hollywood portrayals to whispered legends of the Mafia's reach. But behind the dramatizations lies the work of federal agents who worked for many years to dismantle these criminal empires. Forhad and Jo are joined by Seamus McElearney, a former FBI agent whose career on the Bonanno and DeCavalcante squad led to one of the most historic breakthroughs in Mafia investigations. His new book, Flipping Capo: How the FBI Dismantled the Real Sopranos, takes us inside his experiences of those years.Connect and learn more about Seamus at https://www.linkedin.com/in/seamus-mcelearney/His book can be found at https://a.co/d/69qhse3Send your comments and/or questions to info@integrasintel.com.

Guest Lauren Stewart, Senior Legislative Affairs Liaison for Americans for Prosperity, joins to discuss potential healthcare reforms in the nation. Democrats push for more subsidies and one payer healthcare, while Republicans have an opportunity to get government out of healthcare, and push for private options. Can we get it done? Congress votes on forcing the release of Epstein files. Can we finally move pass the issue and worth further on government transparency?  Trump admin pushes to dismantle the federal department of education, and disperse duties to other agencies. 

Paul Martin was fired from his role as USAID Inspector General after he published a report warning that the Trump administration's plans to dismantle USAID placed more than $480 million in food and other commodities in danger of spoilage or theft. Martin joins us to recount the chaotic few months leading up to his termination from USAID and how his firing fits into a broader assault on independent government oversight and Constitutional checks and balances that are essential to American democracy.Martin served as Inspector General for USAID from January 2024 through February 11, 2025. He previously served for fourteen years as Inspector General for NASA and Vice Chair of the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee. He received a bachelor's degree in journalism from Penn State, where he was part of The Daily Collegian, and a law degree from Georgetown Law. His lecture, which also features former U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent, is available on the McCourtney Institute's YouTube channel. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hello Beloved. In a world where our attention spans are shrinking, true hope for our livelihoods—and our lives—emerges when we step beyond binary thinking. Embracing shades of gray opens the door to richer, more nuanced perspectives on every situation.By accepting that multiple truths can coexist, we lift the crushing weight of forcing every decision into a rigid right-or-wrong box.Nurturing trust in our intuition and inner wisdom erodes the compulsion for constant external approval or lengthy defenses.This quiet inner confidence fortifies the seamless harmony of body, mind, heart, and soul, while awakening our natural capacity to weather doubt and exhaustion.What Holds Us Back from Revelations of Self-CompassionThe Moment Everything Changes — exists at a threshold in a moment when the familiar path and the unknown future collide. Here, we stand at the Choice Point.It's not a single decision. It's a recurring crossroads where we face the most primal question: Asking: Do I stay with what I know, or do I step toward what calls me?The First SOVEREIGN SOUNDS SERIES Podcast showcases the etymological breakdown (more fun than you think - super empowering) through the story of Florence Nightingale back in 1854, choosing to leave her comfortable English life to revolutionize medicine in a war-torn hospital that told through the ETYMOLOGY of “COMPASSION".”If you want to hear and transform your relation to this word, you can upgrade at any point to unlock The Light Between Oracle App + Private Episodes where I channel these downloads. Dismantling the Four Walls of Self-DoubtYou face it every time you consider leaving a job, ending a relationship, speaking a truth, or claiming your authentic self.The Choice Point is where transformation begins. But it's also where most of us freeze.Understanding the forces that keep us paralyzed at the threshold—and more importantly, how to move through them—is the work of reclaiming our power.The Four Walls of the PrisonFear of the Unknown: The Primary ObstacleFear is the gatekeeper of the Choice Point.Not the fear of failure or consequences—though those exist. The deepest, most paralyzing fear is the fear of not knowing what comes next. Our nervous systems are wired for certainty. Uncertainty triggers our threat-detection systems.When we contemplate the unknown, our amygdala fires. Our breath shortens. We retreat to what we know, even if it's painful, because painful and known feels safer than uncertain and new.This is why people stay in unfulfilling jobs, relationships that drain them, and lives that don't fit. The devil you know is more manageable than the devil you don't.The truth: The unknown is not dangerous—it's just unfamiliar. And familiarity is not safety; it's often just habit wearing the mask of security.Attachment to Past Patterns and “Known Suffering”There's a paradox at the heart of human psychology: We become attached to our pain.Our wounds become our identity. Our limiting beliefs become our armor. The story we've told ourselves for years—“I'm not worthy,” “I'm too broken,” “People like me don't get to have that”—becomes so familiar that it feels like truth.When offered the possibility of transformation, we unconsciously cling to the pattern. Because at least we know how to survive it. At least there's a narrative. At least there's a reason.This is what psychologists call the “comfort in suffering”—the twisted familiarity that makes even pain feel like home.The Choice Point asks us to grieve what we're leaving behind, even if it was killing us. And that grief is real. That loss is real. Even when the old pattern was destructive, letting it go means losing an identity we've spent years constructing.The truth: Healing requires grieving. But the cost of staying is always higher than the cost of going.Narrow Paths vs. Opening to Infinite PossibilitiesHere's something CRITICAL and why active concious thinking is foundational. Our minds are pattern-recognition machines designed for efficiency, not expansion.The mind works by creating neural pathways. The more we travel a particular thought or behavior, the deeper the groove becomes. Over time, these grooves feel like the only paths available. The mind literally cannot perceive possibilities outside these worn tracks.This is called “cognitive narrowing,” and it's hardwired into our neurology.When faced with a Choice Point, the mind does what it's trained to do: it generates only the solutions it's already mapped. It says, Here are your three options” when actually there are 300. It insists, “This is realistic” while dismissing what's possible as fantasy.We are collectively re-aligning the “all is mind.”The Choice Point isn't just about willpower or courage. It's about expanding the mental field itself—opening to possibilities the conditioned mind cannot yet perceive.This requires what we might call a “frequency shift”—a change in consciousness that literally opens new neural pathways and allows previously invisible solutions to appear.Trust: The Key That Unlocks the TransitionAll three obstacles—fear, attachment, and mental narrowing—lock together into one immovable wall: lack of trust.Trust in ourselves. Trust in the process. Trust that the ground will hold us when we take a step into the unknown.Without trust, we're trying to move through the Choice Point while our nervous system screams “danger.” We're negotiating with fear rather than transcending it.But trust isn't blind faith. It's not ignoring real risks or pretending danger doesn't exist.True trust is remembering that you've already survived every difficult moment in your life. You've moved through uncertainty before. Your body knows how to adapt. Your spirit has weathered storms you thought would destroy you.Trust is recognizing that there's an intelligence working through you—not just your rational mind, but your intuition, your embodied wisdom, your spiritual knowing. Align with that larger intelligence and each Choice Point becomes navigable.This is where language transforms the nervous system itself. When we reclaim the word Trust from its distorted meanings—blind obedience, naïveté, passivity—and return it to its root (a Germanic word meaning “to comfort” or “to strengthen”), we literally change our nervous system's response to the unknown.The truth: You have everything you need to move through the Choice Point. You just need to remember it.The Evolution of Language: How We Lost Our WayFrom Collective Intuition to Fragmented Mind - our ancestors didn't face the Choice Point as we do.Early human societies operated from a place of collective intuition—a kind of group consciousness where decisions emerged from shared sensing rather than individual analysis. Bodies, hearts, and minds moved as one intelligence.There was no paralyzing individual choice. There was knowing. A seamless trust in the collective direction.Then came language.Language was revolutionary and traumatic simultaneously.Words gave us the ability to communicate across time and space. They allowed civilization to build. But they also fragmented us. Words separated the knower from the known. They created subject and object, self and other, safety and danger.As language developed, it slowly replaced embodied knowing with mental analysis. We stopped trusting our gut. We started overthinking. We moved from intuition to ideology.By the time we reached the Enlightenment, trust in the mind had become supreme—and trust in the body, intuition, and collective wisdom had atrophied almost completely.This is why the Choice Point feels so isolating and terrifying now. We're making the decision alone, with only the overthinking mind as our guide. We've lost access to the embodied wisdom and collective knowing that would make the transition feel natural.The Body, the Heart, and Language All Different Channels of KnowingHere's a crucial distinction: The body and mind speak different languages.The body knows through sensation and intuition. It receives information instantaneously—what some call “gut feeling” or “heart knowing.” This wisdom doesn't require analysis. It just is.The mind knows through logic, language, and analysis. It requires evidence, reasoning, and time to process.Neither is superior. They're complementary intelligence systems.But as language became the dominant channel of communication, the body's wisdom became marginalized. We learned to doubt our gut. We were told to “think logically” and ignore our feelings. We were trained to second-guess intuition and defer to external expertise.This created a crisis at the Choice Point: We're using only half our intelligence to make full-life decisions.The path through the Choice Point requires both channels:The mind to discern the practical details and logistics The body to feel the rightness or wrongness of the direction The heart to connect with why this choice matters The spirit to sense the alignment with our larger soul purposeWhen all four are integrated, the Choice Point becomes a place of clarity rather than paralysis.Language as a Living Entity: How Words Shape Our ChoicesHere's where things get deeply revolutionary: Language is not fixed. It breathes.Words are living frequencies that carry the imprint of human consciousness across time. When a culture shifts, words shift with it. And when we understand how a word has been distorted, we can reclaim its original power.Consider how certain words—like Trust, Faith, Surrender, Intuition—have been shaped and twisted by different historical periods.Medieval Europe: Trust was tied to God and divine order. There was a collective framework holding the trust.Industrial Revolution: Trust narrowed. It became about institutions and external authority. Trust in the system. Trust in the expert. Trust in the hierarchy.Modern Era: Trust fragmented further. We distrust institutions. We distrust expertise. We distrust each other. And most dangerously, we distrust ourselves.The result: We're trying to move through the Choice Point with no trust at all.And, my beloved…. here's the liberation: By understanding how the word has been distorted, we can restore its original frequency.When we trace Trust back to its roots—to mean “to comfort,” “to strengthen,” “to hold steady”—we access a different nervous system response. We're not just intellectually deciding to trust. We're activating a frequency in our body that remembers trust as a felt experience, not a concept. Words are spells and shape consciousness.The Architecture of the Choice Point: Three PhasesTransformation at the Choice Point unfolds in distinct phases:Phase 1: Awareness (The Recognition)You begin to see that the current path no longer fits. Something is calling. The discomfort that once seemed normal now feels intolerable.This is where most people get stuck—they see the problem but convince themselves to adjust to it rather than change it. They re-narrate the suffering as meaningful. They spiritualize their dysfunction.True awareness requires honest grief: admitting that something in your life is not working.Phase 2: The Threshold (The Fear)You stand at the actual Choice Point. The old path is visible behind you. The new path is invisible ahead of you.This is where all four obstacles crystallize: Fear screams Attachment pulls backward The mind insists the new path doesn't exist Trust evaporatesThis phase is not meant to be comfortable. Discomfort at the Choice Point is a sign of integrity, not a sign to turn back.Phase 3: The Leap and Landing (The Integration)You move through. The ground holds. You begin to integrate the new frequency. The new path becomes visible as you walk it—not before.Most people want to see the entire new path before they step forward. But that's not how transformation works. We get vision as we move, not before.Four Practices for Moving Through the Choice Point* Embody Your BodyPractice feeling sensation without narrative. Place your hand on your heart. Notice: What does your body know that your mind hasn't admitted yet?Your body doesn't lie. It carries wisdom your mind has trained itself to ignore.Reclaim Trust as a FrequencyRepeat: “I remember the word. I reclaim the root. I restore the power.”Place your hand on your heart and feel what trust actually feels like—not as a concept, but as a sensation of being held, strengthened, comforted.* Expand Your Mental FieldAsk: “What possibilities exist beyond what I can currently imagine?”This simple question opens neural pathways. It signals your brain that there are more options than the three the conditioned mind has offered.Connect to Collective KnowingYou don't have to figure this out alone. There's an intelligence working through human history, through your bloodline, through the zeitgeist of this moment.Ask: “What wants to emerge through me? What is my soul's larger purpose in this transition?”Express Your Choice Point ExerciseIn Closing: While the new paradigm hasn't fully materialized yet. We're all standing in the threshold together.The opportunity is that we're not paralyzed alone anymore. We're standing at the threshold with millions of others who are also choosing to evolve. The Mantra for the Choice PointAs you contemplate your own threshold, return to this again and again:I remember: My body knows. My intuition knows. My spirit knows. I've survived every difficult moment. I have access to more wisdom than my overthinking mind.Surrender as power, not weakness.Intuition as light intelligence, not fantasy.I restore: The power to choose. The power to transform. The power to walk into the unknown and have it become known as I move. CHOOSE to Deepen Your ExplorationThis deep exploration is a small reflection of The Sovereign Sounds Series Podcast that creates one word as a conceptual map of a Choice Point. The vertical energetic origin and the horizontal effects through time as it became a frequency of power over and power under. The Choice Point is calling. Trust is the key. And you have everything you need to move through.Incantations and Reflections for IntegrationAs you sit with this exploration, journal on:* Where am I standing at a Choice Point right now—even if I haven't fully admitted it?* What pattern am I most attached to, even though it no longer serves me?PS: Be on the lookout for the first privast podcast drop and over $258+ intuitive enriching resources to help you on your evolutionary journey.

Nell Bernstein, author of “In Our Future We are Free—the Dismantling of the Youth Prison

In this episode, I sit down for the third time with one of my all-time favorite authors, Gary Thomas, whose books have radically shaped my faith and perspective on life, relationships, and spiritual growth. From When to Walk Away to Sacred Marriage and Sacred Pathways, Gary's writing has helped countless believers understand what it means to live a life rooted in truth and grace. His newest book, The Life You Were Reborn to Live, takes that even deeper—calling out the spiritual lies that keep us buried beneath the surface of God's best. These lies are subtle, familiar, and often sound like wisdom—but they quietly rob us of peace, purpose, and abundance. In this conversation, Gary and I unpack three of the most powerful lies from his book that hit me straight in the heart (and probably will for you, too). We talk about: Dismantling Restlessness — learning to live in peace, not panic. Dismantling the Comfort Lie — seeing affliction as God's loving pruning, not punishment. Dismantling Complacent Ignorance — rekindling a hunger for wisdom that transforms how we think and live. Gary helps us see how many of these lies have even slipped into church culture—convincing us to chase comfort, control, or comparison instead of the freedom and renewal Christ offers. This episode will help you identify where the enemy has kept you "underground" and remind you that you were reborn to live in the light. It's the perfect conversation to help us end the year well—tearing down what's false and walking boldly into the truth.

Welcome to Lunacy; where we discern the sacred from the insane and admit that whether we like it or not, we are all profoundly affected by the cycles of the moon.Today on LUNACY, I interview my very good friend and soul sister, LeeAnn Mallorie.  LeeAnn is a Master Coach of Executive Women and Disruptors of all sorts.  We dive deep into what it means to "dismantle the inner patriarchy" not as some sort of tear down of the status quo, but rather a reflection on where we refuse to allow ourselves to feel our feelings, give ourselves permission, and follow our heart's path.  We boil down what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman, and how we work together to achieve the best for all around us.  There's considerable discussion of the benefits and challenges of working with Ayahuasca, and what happens when we take prayer back from religion and make it our own.Some good tips in here on how to give ourselves permission to be ourselves wherever we are, whatever we do, however we do it.  Good stuff.  Enjoy.  ***********************I'm Geoff Eido.

Illegal Alien MONSTER FINDS OUT after DISMANTLING FACE of Ice Agent! FAFO!

As you may or may not know, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is in the administration's crosshairs. With cuts to their budget and staffing beginning under Elon Musk's DOGE, it has taken a different form with the government shutdown. Employees furloughed or retired from critical programs, laboratories shuttered, and entire facilities gutted--all without the approval of Congress. By the time the shutdown is over, NASA's primary research center--and the one most responsible for what many are now calling "the C-word," climate science--will be a shell of its former self. Josh Dinner, who recently completed a months-long investigative report, joins us. Also: Jared Isaacman is back in the running as NASA chief, the 25th anniversary of the ISS, and China now working with the US on orbital dangers. Headlines: Trump Renominates Jared Isaacman as NASA Chief, Sparking Political Drama 25 Years of Continuous Astronaut Presence on the International Space Station China Initiates Rare Satellite Collision Avoidance With NASA Apollo-Era Radio Telescope That Spied on Soviet Satellites Up for Sale Mars ESCAPADE Missions Twin Probes Prepare for Launch on New Glenn Rocket Main Topic: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Crisis Goddard Hit by Accelerated Building Closures and Funding Cuts NASA Employees and Lawmakers Accuse Agency Leadership of Breaking the Law Climate Science and Political Motives at the Core of Goddard's Struggles Union Power Stripped After NASA's Reclassification as National Security Agency High-Profile Missions Like Hubble, the Nancy Roman Space Telescope, and LISA Facing Uncertainty Loss of Talent and Institutional Knowledge Threatens Future Space Projects Congress and the Public Urged to Support, But Outlook Remains Grim Could New Leadership Reverse the Changes Brought to Goddard, or Reinforce Goddard's Decline?

"You just need more self-care."That's what I kept hearing when I was burnt out, seeing 30+ clients a week, barely breaking even. I tried bath bombs, meditation apps, yoga breaks. None of it worked.Because the problem wasn't my self-care routine. It was the business model.In this episode, I'm dismantling the 7 lies that keep therapists overworked, underpaid, and stuck in unsustainable practices. The toxic narratives about burnout, pricing, marketing, and what it takes to build a therapy practice that doesn't destroy you.Here's what I cover:Lie #1: "If you're burned out, you're just not cut out for this work" — Why burnout is a business design problem, not a character flawLie #2: "Good therapists don't talk about money" — How pricing shame keeps therapists broke and resentfulLie #3: "You need to work at the pointy end of the spectrum to be a good therapist" — Why helping people flourish is just as valuableLie #4: "You have to be beige and invisible" — Why your personality is your competitive advantageLie #5: "Marketing is sleazy and unethical" — Reframing ethical marketing as informed consentLie #6: "If you just keep pushing through, it'll get easier" — Why waiting isn't a strategyLie #7: "Wanting more means you don't care" — Dismantling the false binary between money and integrity

In this episode of Read the Damn Book, host Michelle Glogovac sits down with Dr. Akilah Cadet, author of White Supremacy Is All Around, and a leading voice in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Together, they explore how systemic racism shapes our workplaces and communities, what it truly means to practice allyship versus being an accomplice, and how individuals and organizations can take real action toward equity.Dr. Cadet opens up about her lived experiences as a Black disabled woman, the realities of running a DEI consulting business amid cultural pushback, and her groundbreaking role as a co-owner of professional soccer teams in the Bay Area. Through honesty, humor, and insight, this conversation challenges listeners to embrace accountability, learning, and unlearning in the ongoing fight for justice and inclusion.What We're Talking About...Dr. Akilah Cadet reminds us that real progress begins when we learn to be comfortable with discomfort.Diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts are facing growing resistance in today's social and business climate.White supremacy is sustained by fear and the desire to hold on to power.True change requires more than allyship — it calls for becoming an active accomplice in the fight for equity.Parents play a vital role in helping future generations understand race, privilege, and empathy.Growth happens through both learning and unlearning, with humility as the foundation.Accountability is essential for individuals and institutions that perpetuate harm.Dr. Cadet's co-ownership of Bay Area soccer teams shows why representation matters in every industry.Dismantling systemic racism is a collective effort that depends on everyone's participation.Dr. Cadet's story highlights both the challenges and the strength of marginalized communities.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background of Dr. Akilah Cadet07:48 The Impact of 2020 on DEI Work13:49 The Role of Fear in White Supremacy19:45 Understanding Allyship vs. Accompliceship25:30 Raising Awareness and Responsibility in Parenting30:38 Understanding Privilege and Humanity34:22 Learning and Unlearning in Society36:40 Calling In vs. Calling Out39:38 Navigating Racism in Professional Spaces41:26 Becoming a Co-Owner in Sports54:24 Personal Reflections and Future Aspirations54:52 Embracing Discomfort for Change55:20 Accountability and Awareness in SocietyLinks MentionedSocials : @changecadetDr. Akilah Cadet's Website: https://www.changecadet.com/White Supremacy Is All Around: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/akilah-cadet-dhsc-mph/white-supremacy-is-all-around/9780306831034/Dr. Akilah Cadet's Substack: https://changecadetactionnetwork.substack.com/Author BioDr. Akilah Cadet is the Founder and CEO of Change Cadet, an organizational development and creative consulting firm that offers services that support embedding belonging into overall company culture, identity, strategy and storytelling.

Trey's Table Episode 380 The Big Lie About Reconstruction We've been taught a version of history that was designed to oppress. In Episode 380 of Trey's Table, we're dismantling the "Dunning School." For decades, this school of thought dominated history books, pushing the false narrative that Reconstruction was a tragic failure—a period of "corrupt" Black leadership and "Northern aggression." It was a deliberate, academic lie created to justify Jim Crow and white supremacy by slandering the progress made after the Civil War. We have to understand these lies of the past to fight the misinformation of the present.

Hello to you listening in Warsaw, Poland!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I am deeply proud of my Polish heritage and being a lawyer. These times are unprecedented; but especially for judges, the last line of freedom's defense. Attacks on the independence of the judiciary are sweeping our country taking various forms ranging from court capture to direct attacks on judges. The cowards behind the attacks know that the independence of judges - the judicial branch of government - is foundational to democracy.“Judicial independence is fundamental to the rule of law. The rule of law is fundamental to freedom. Freedom is fundamental to the protection of every citizen.” [John Macmenamin - Judge at the Supreme Court of Ireland]Those are not my words. Those are the words of John Macmenamin, a judge at the Supreme Court of Ireland who joined with Polish judges at the “1000 Robes March”, an unprecedented event held in the name of judicial independence.1000 Robes March was the greatest demonstration of judges in contemporary Europe, with more than 30,000 people, including hundreds of judges from 22 European countries marching in solidarity with their Polish colleagues in the fight for judicial independence. The silent march in January 2020 was a reaction to proposed laws that threatened to undermine the judiciary's independence in Poland.  "A Thousand Robes" is a short (12 minute) documentary film directed by Kacper Lisowski. The story is about mutual gratitude, focusing on the positive interactions between judges, lawyers, and the public. It highlights citizens who are moved by the judges' defense of their rights and lawyers who have experienced solidarity from ordinary people and European judges. The film serves as a warning against what dismantling the democratic mechanisms of the state leads to.Documenting this touching episode of the dramatic struggle for the rule of law that still lacks a happy ending in Poland, Kacper Lisowski also talks to the European judges participating in the march of a thousand robes. Particularly poignant is the voice of a Turkish judge who knows from experience what happens when such a struggle is lost.Click HERE to watch A Thousand Robes the film on YouTube.CTA: Maybe like me you will be moved to tears at what We the People can accomplish when we heed a call to action. This is what democracy looks like! Take Hope! Take Heart! Take Courage from all the good work being done by our federal judges who are in solidarity with our Democracy, our Constitution, our rule of law without fear or favor! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

The Demographic Need: Reframing Migration as an Economic Resource and Dismantling Exclusionary Borders.Gaia Vince discusses how humans are a migratory species that evolved in Africa and colonized the entire globe through movement. Historically, the US and European nations have used policies of brutality and cruelty to restrict movement, with many current border restrictions being recent. Vince highlights the current economic paradox: societies encourage the flow of goods but limit human labor, their largest economic resource, with some economists estimating that removing borders could double global GDP. A critical component of managing migration is investment: financial investment to expand northern cities and social investment in accepting that migrants are not "bad people" and promoting inclusivity. Furthermore, the global north faces a demographic crisis, as most developed nations are not producing enough babies to support their elderly populations, making immigration the necessary solution. 1953

In a New Yorker article co-published with ProPublica, reporter Andy Kroll describes Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, as a "shadow president" with oversized influence. “I don't think you can take in the full sweep of what this administration has done in less than a year and not come away with thinking that chaos is a goal, and certainly an outcome that serves Vought and his team's larger agenda of putting cracks in the federal government, shaking the stability of this typically rock-solid steady institution that is the federal bureaucracy,” Kroll says.  Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

When deliverance stops being theory and starts manifesting in the room, the polite veneer of “therapy” shreds. In this conversation, Kelly Hawley opens the door to a world most churches refuse to touch; survivors of SRA, programmed dissociation, and the long, deliberate war on bloodlines. What begins as testimony turns into a field report from the frontlines: parts and personas formed by trauma, counterfeit “trees” built in the soul, and the odd, terrible calm of activations meant to weaponize the broken. Through it all, Kelly keeps returning to the same center; Jesus, Holy Spirit authority, and the slow work of healing that refuses to charge the wounded a dime. It's dark. It's real. It's happening. And it demands a response. Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!

In February, the Trump administration announced cuts to more than 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts and $60 billion in overall assistance around the world. In July, the agency’s remaining programs were brought under the control of the State Department. Thousands of USAID staff and contractors working in the US and around the world have been fired or laid off, including Portlander Leah Petit. A global health professional for nearly 20 years, Petit was a senior program advisor at USAID’s Office of HIV/AIDS when she lost her job in late January. Her projects focused on strengthening local health systems in Africa and Asia to sustain long-term HIV prevention, monitoring and treatment efforts.    In August, Petit embarked on a new career when she launched “Global Development Interrupted,” a podcast she hosts and produces featuring former USAID workers who help dispel misconceptions about the agency’s work overseas and how it has benefited Americans here. Established nearly 65 years ago, USAID has delivered lifesaving humanitarian assistance and medicines, mobilized to halt the spread of deadly diseases like Ebola, expanded access to clean drinking water and sanitation, along with countless other relief and development programs. Petit joins us to share more details about her podcast and what’s at stake when the US reverses its leadership on international aid, including the millions of lives that are expected to be lost with the dismantling of USAID.

In today's episode, Rachel opens up about a big, beautiful expansion happening in her marriage right now. For the first time in a long time, Rachel is able to lean more into her feminine side. Her husband has been taking the lead, and she has actually been able to accept letting go of control. How did these changes come about? It wasn't from nagging or expecting someone else to become a new person - it was from recognizing barriers Rachel had put up over her own heart. Whenever we are struggling with something, we are quick to jump to external factors as the cause. But maybe we can't rely on everyone else to change, and instead we have to recognize our own patterns in keeping people out. Tune in for a big episode of storytelling and finding change the only way it's possible - through love.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they tackle Democrats' misleading spin on Obamacare subsidies, the Trump administration's $20 billion bailout for Argentina, and an escalating Senate primary fight in Massachusetts.First, they highlight former Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer's sharp takedown of Democrats blaming Republicans for the expiring Obamacare subsidies. Meijer reminds CNN that Democrats created these COVID-era subsidies and agreed twice to let them lapse.
