In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye speaks with Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, who explains Nigeria's new tax laws and why they aim to fix multiple outdated taxes rather than increase burdens.He says most Nigerians will pay less from 2026, with clear exemptions for low-income earners, students, and retirees. Oyedele stresses fairness in capturing all economic activity and insists the reforms will lower costs for key sectors while improving transparency.Dismissing claims of overtaxation, he argues that Nigeria's real challenge is low productivity and poor data, not tax rates. He urges support for reforms to avoid repeating past policy failures.Guest:Taiwo Oyedele(Chairman, Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy & Tax Reform)

The NDP gave the Free Press the scoop on a new plan to invoke an emergency authorization to open a drug user site. Dan Lett accordingly doubled down on the misinformation and myths used to attack the stakeholders who derailed the first safe consumption site plan. As Episode 56 explains, we saw how it really unfolded- and also noticed he got a key aspect of the new SCS plan wrong. Part 1-Our recent columns in the Winnipeg Sun peeled back the PR campaign pumping the tires of the Parking Authority's 5 year strategy- and it's apparent that trying to rig the upcoming public consultation will not be acceptable:"Would the City expand paid parking to Sargent Avenue in the West End, or to Marion Street in St. Boniface, or to Portage Avenue west of downtown or into St. James? That would cripple restaurants and stores in those neighbourhoods. Would the City charge disabled veterans to park outside the St. James or Norwood Legions? No one would put it past them."Nov. 12- New paid parking plan should require a Parking Authority Town Hall https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/gold-new-paid-parking-plan-should-require-a-parking-authority-town-hall⁠"Introducing a “solution” where no problem exists only creates barriers, not improvements. Corydon is not downtown—and should not be managed as though it is.”Nov. 16- Paid parking on Corydon? Fuhgeddaboutdit, says BIZ https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/gold-paid-parking-on-corydon-fuhgeddaboutdit-says-bizFollowing up on our reports, Kelly Ryback surveyed the businesses in St. James and told City Hall about their rejection of starting paid parking into their area. We have a brief description of the panic it caused a certain councillor.15.40 Part 2- A news story in the Free Press indicated Premier Wab Kinew is trying a slightly more conciliatory approach togarnering buy-in for the idea of a safe injection site “west of Main Street” – part of the Centennial neighborhood. But Kinew would not reveal the actual address. The story confirmed that public consultation is mandatory under federal licencing laws. Mayor Scott Gillingham, for the first time, stood behind the importance of “hearing from residents and business owners as to their thoughts related to the potential impact on the area,” while Kinew “dodged the question” from PC leader Obby Khan about when consultations would take place. In a companion column, WFP pundit Dan Lett dodged the facts, claimed the site was again being aimed for Point Douglas and the East Exchange, and attacked the verybasis of requiring the consultations. Hear his distortions of the concerns and ideas that residents put on the table about 200 Disraeli to try to misinform his readers about how widespread - and well-informed the opposition was.32.50 - We juxtapose the comments of a Point Douglas resident in the news story - “We're beginning to feel like a drug rehab dumping ground around here," with the insistence of Lett that's "As it should be". Dismissing the working class residents and business owners as "champions of gentrification" and "squeaky wheels," Lett unloaded a big whopper- falsely claiming that "Supervised consumption and detox facilities do not make surrounding neighbourhoods unsafe; they make them safer and cleaner."Without ever attending one of the Town Halls about the 200 Disraeli proposal or speaking to the victims of the crime wave besieging residents and property owners, Ontario's Dan Lett set out a loathsome block of opinions about the people of Winnipeg in the pages of the Free Press.

Send us a textWhat if the very foundation of modern care—science alone—is the problem?You see the stats: mothers are drowning in postpartum depression, crippling anxiety, and mysterious autoimmune flare-ups. You're doing the screenings, you're following the standard protocols, but the lasting solutions are elusive. What if the very foundation of modern care—science alone—is the problem? Maranda dives into the six critical limitations of medical science that are actively harming mothers in the fourth trimester. This isn't anti-science; it's a call for a more honest, holistic postpartum health model. This episode exposes the six critical limitations of medical care actively harming the fourth trimester. We break down why relying on RCTs ignores millennia of successful traditional postpartum practices.

Summary of the Memorandum of Law in Support of Motion to Dismiss:Introduction:The memorandum begins by outlining the grounds for dismissing the Second Amended Complaint. The defendants, Sean Combs, Love Records, and Combs Global Enterprises, argue that the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The defendants seek to have the case dismissed in its entirety.Legal Standards for Dismissal:The document likely explains the legal standards for a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This rule allows a defendant to seek dismissal of a complaint if the plaintiff fails to state a claim that is legally sufficient.Arguments for Dismissal:Failure to State a Claim: The defendants argue that the plaintiff, Rodney Jones, has not provided sufficient factual allegations to support his claims against them. The memorandum likely points out that the claims are speculative or lack the necessary detail to establish a plausible claim for relief.Lack of Specificity: The memorandum might argue that the complaint lacks specificity regarding the alleged misconduct of Sean Combs, Love Records, and Combs Global Enterprises. This could include failure to allege how each defendant was involved in the purported wrongdoing.Insufficient Legal Basis: The defendants could argue that the legal theories under which the plaintiff seeks relief are flawed or do not apply to the facts as presented. This might involve challenging the legal validity of the claims or the appropriateness of the chosen legal theories.Discussion of Relevant Case Law:The memorandum typically cites relevant case law to support its arguments. This includes precedents where similar claims were dismissed due to lack of specificity or failure to state a claim. The defendants use these cases to argue that the court should apply the same reasoning to the current complaint.Conclusion:The defendants request that the court dismiss the Second Amended Complaint with prejudice, meaning that the plaintiff would not be allowed to file another complaint on the same grounds. The memorandum concludes by reiterating the arguments for dismissal and emphasizing the insufficiency of the plaintiff's claims.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Are you dismissing your business wins because they came from people who already know you? Do you feel like success only "counts" if it comes from converting cold audiences through complicated funnels? What if the strategy you've been overlooking as "too simple" is actually the smartest way to grow your business even at seven and eight figures?In this episode, I share the humbling moment when a seven-figure brand owner asked me to teach a strategy I'd been downplaying as not valuable enough. I unpack why we've created this hierarchy where cold audience conversions feel more "superior" than warm referrals, and why this mindset is costing us the easeful, sustainable growth we actually want. I also reveal what I'd do differently if I started from scratch today, and how focusing on excellence over volume changes everything.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why we undervalue warm audiences, friends, family, and referrals in business, and how this creates an artificial hierarchy that makes us dismiss our actual wins as "not good enough" when they're actually the smartest path to growth.The specific ways you can leverage other people's audiences without being salesy from teaching in paid communities, speaking on podcasts and stages, to genuinely answering questions with value in complementary (not identical) groups where your expertise stands out.Why focusing on transforming one person's life with exceptional quality creates a wildfire of referrals, versus building systems designed for volume before you're ready, and how this patient approach leads to being booked out solidly through word of mouth.How constraint and limitation actually help things thrive, why simplicity is more strategic than complicated funnels for most business owners, and what it looks like to build bite-sized, sustainable growth aligned with who you actually are rather than chasing someone else's goalpost or volume metrics.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

Episode Description: The Clay Edwards Show - Chaos in Jackson, Steakhouses, and True Crime HorrorIn this fiery episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards dives into a whirlwind of local headlines, cultural commentary, and hard-hitting discussions straight from the heart of Mississippi. Kicking things off with breaking news, Clay reacts to a wild overnight police chase involving a stolen SUV that started in Jackson, spilled into Pearl, and ended in a crash at the Jackson Airport parking lot. Labeling the suspects as "future rocket scientists" who clearly underestimated Rankin County's no-nonsense policing, Clay awards them his signature "FAFO" (F'd Around and Found Out) championship, complete with humorous predictions about their backgrounds and a plea for names and photos from authorities. He flips the script on typical chase narratives, noting how rare it is for criminals to flee east into Rankin County instead of bouncing back into Jackson's "criminal safe haven."Shifting gears, Clay addresses a viral brawl at Char, a upscale Jackson steakhouse, sparked by a listener's text. He calls out Sheriff Tyree Jones for posting on Facebook urging everyone to "wrap up the conversation" by 8:00 AM, comparing it to telling a woman to calm down—guaranteed to backfire. Clay questions why even fine dining spots aren't immune to "culture rot," emphasizing that if people can't behave at a white-tablecloth restaurant, where can they? He stresses there's no need to risk Jackson for good food anymore, with plenty of options in Rankin and Madison Counties.The show takes a lighter turn as Clay polls listeners on their favorite steakhouses, turning it into the "question of the day." Recommendations pour in via calls and texts, highlighting spots like Kessler Prime, Shapley's, Wendell Steakhouse, Gibbs in Learned, Henry's Team 10 in Pearl, Cypress Point Resort (with its ribeye sandwich blue plate special), Crooked Letter Kitchen, and more. A caller inquires about Gibbs' location, leading to a fun exchange about Rankin County dining gems. Clay even suggests Brandon needs its own top-tier steakhouse and shouts out local spots for their steaks and atmospheres.Clay then tackles national news, explaining why a potential government shutdown could be a silver lining for conservatives. He shares insights on how it might allow the administration to cut bureaucratic fat, terminate "untouchable" officials, and reshape programs—describing it as a "bloodbath for the bureaucracy." Dismissing fears for normies, he argues it's a chance to save taxpayer money and drain the swamp, while criticizing continuing resolutions as a symptom of a broken political system.The episode's most intense segment focuses on the horrific case of Daniel Callahan, dubbed a "demonic satanic meth-fueled demon." Clay recounts the Louisiana man's crimes: murdering his girlfriend, killing one of her young daughters, and sexually abusing the surviving 6-year-old "every way imaginable" before abandoning the girls in a South Jackson ditch. He blasts the justice system for opting for life without parole across states instead of the death penalty, questioning why prosecutors didn't pursue execution despite overwhelming evidence. Clay expresses outrage at the girlfriend's involvement in the abuse and calls for accountability, lamenting how Jackson's reputation as a "criminal safe haven" enabled the atrocities.Throughout, Clay weaves in sharp cultural takes, from mocking low-testosterone critics to linking higher testosterone levels with conservative voting tendencies (backed by studies). He defends his unfiltered style against accusations of racism, insisting he's a realist calling out "culture rot" based on lived experience in Jackson. Guest Andrew Gosser joins for the second hour, adding perspectives on military life, government inefficiencies, and societal moral decay.Packed with raw energy, listener interactions, and no-holds-barred opinions, this episode is a rollercoaster of local drama, food talk, and serious commentary—perfect for anyone tracking Mississippi's pulse. Tune in for Clay's unapologetic take on why chaos often reveals deeper truths.

Yeah, that's classic INFP territory.This video digs into the four self-destructive thought patterns that trip up INFPs over and over again:• Forcing yourself to finish every project (and hating yourself when you don't)• Dismissing your inner world as “just daydreaming”• Comparing your struggles to other people's strengths• Believing you're broken for being differentAs an INFP who's walked this path, built communities, and coached hundreds of dreamers, I break down how these habits come from fighting your nature instead of accepting it.

Book Title: The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689 Author: Jonathan HealeyHeadline: Charles I's Personal Rule and the Scottish Revolt After dismissing Parliament in 1629, Charles I ruled personally, relying on figures like Archbishop William Laud and the Earl of Strafford. Their controversial religious policies and "arbitrary" actions, such as the Ship Money tax, generated significant opposition. The King's attempt to impose a new prayer book on Scotland in 1637 led to a revolt, ultimately collapsing his rule in England and leading to Laud and Strafford's arrests. 1661 OLIVER CROMWELL

Morning Mantra: "Don't let toxic people manipulate your reality."Have you ever been in this situation? You get upset because of someone's actions, then they get upset because of your reaction to their actions. They think it's the same behavior but it's not the same. You are trying to communicate, they are gaslighting to avoid accountability. You are not creating negativity just because you are holding them accountable. If you are pointing out how their behavior hurt you that's not conflict and they don't get to twist things by saying all you want to do is argue when all you are really doing is telling them how they made you feel.You are not starting a fight, you are trying to be heard. Dismissing that is manipulation and narcissistic. They need to own up to what they did because they don't get to hurt you and then play the victim when you call them out.You're not being dramatic, you're being honest. You're not overreacting, you're responding to being overlooked, dismissed, and pushed aside. They don't get to ignore your pain and then get angry when you finally find the strength to speak up.Respect isn't just about being kind when things are easy. It's about being accountable. They can't break your trust and then pretend nothing happened.Healing doesn't begin with silence, it begins with responsibility. They don't get to blame you for the fire when they were the ones that lit the match.#BeWillingToHoldThemAccountable #BeHappy #BeHorsey#BeHippie #HorseHippie#MorningMantra#InspirationalQuotes#MorningMotivation#Equestrian #HorseLover#QuotesToInspire#HorseHippieBrand#HorseHippieBoutique

Hey, it's Brig! In this episode, I'm diving into de-centering men without dismissing them. This isn't about being anti-men but becoming "pro-you." I unpack the stress women carry when our worth is tied to relationships with men, and how we can reclaim sovereignty.  What You'll Learn: Historical Conditioning: How laws and culture, like credit restrictions until 1974, mandated centering men. Everyday Conditioning: How childhood, church, media, and dating advice push us to prioritize men. Reasons to De-Center: I share five powerful reasons to de-center men: your worth is inherent, not tied to a man; centering men causes health-damaging stress, especially for Black women; prioritizing men isn't true connection if it erases you; de-centering lets men be whole, fostering healing; and it means choosing love from truth, not panic. Remember that de-centering isn't about rejecting love but reclaiming your power to choose it freely. Let's build a life where love is a choice, not a chain, and step into true sovereignty together.

In the case Government of the United States Virgin Islands v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (No. 22-cv-10904-JSR), JPMorgan Chase Bank filed a reply memorandum in support of its motion to dismiss certain claims brought against it. The motion was partially successful.The court granted JPMorgan's motion to dismiss claims under the Virgin Islands Criminally Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and the Virgin Islands Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act (Counts II, III, and IV of the Second Amended Complaint). These claims were dismissed because they were unchanged from previous versions that the court had already ruled on.However, the court denied JPMorgan's motion to dismiss the claims related to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA). The court had previously considered JPMorgan's arguments against these claims in an earlier motion and had rejected them. JPMorgan reasserted these arguments mainly to preserve them for appeal.This ruling represents a partial victory for both sides: while some claims were dismissed, others, particularly those related to the TVPA, will proceed in the litigation.(commercial 8:09)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.591653.56.0.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the case of Doe v. Black (Case No. 1:23-cv-06418-JGLC), Defendant Leon Black filed a reply memorandum supporting his motion to dismiss Plaintiff Jane Doe's complaint. Black's legal team argues that Doe's allegations are time-barred under the applicable statute of limitations and fail to meet the necessary legal standards for the claims presented. They assert that the complaint lacks specific factual details to substantiate the accusations, rendering the claims insufficient under federal pleading requirements.Additionally, the defense contends that certain claims are legally deficient, as they do not establish essential elements required for such causes of action. Black's attorneys emphasize that the complaint does not provide adequate grounds to proceed and request the court to dismiss the case in its entirety. The reply memorandum serves to reinforce these points, aiming to persuade the court to rule in favor of dismissal.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.602764.70.0.pdf

On the job, strength is measured in grit, control, and composure under pressure. But behind the badge (Amazon Affiliate), there's another kind of strength that's often overlooked: emotional intelligence. Why does it still feel “soft” or unsafe to express empathy, vulnerability, or self-awareness on the job? In this episode, Ashlie and Clint unpack the silent tension between tactical competence and emotional growth—revealing why the two aren't opposites at all, but deeply intertwined forms of resilience.

Media Baits Trump Into Again Dismissing Epstein Files As A “Hoax” — “Trying To Divert Attention To Something That's Total Bulls**t

Handel on the Law. Marginal Legal Advice.

July 29, 2025 ~ University of Michigan Professor of Health Managment and Policy Mark Fendrick talks with Chris, Lloyd, and Jamie about RFK Jr. considering dismissing members of the U.S. Preventative Service Task force, potentially leading to a major shakeup in how preventative health services are reviewed and recommended.

In today's thought-provoking episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee tackles one of the most overlooked truths of modern life: you don't have to speak on every issue. Inspired by a viral study about red and black ants attacking each other only after being shaken, Baylor explores how society often conditions us to fight battles that aren't even ours—all while the real instigators go unnoticed. This isn't about politics or taking sides—it's about protecting your energy, being intentional with your voice, and understanding the power of informed silence. Baylor challenges listeners to resist the pressure of reacting to every headline and instead focus on making real impact in the areas they truly care about. Key Takeaways: Don't Be Shaken Into Conflict: Sometimes, it's not the people we're fighting who are the problem—it's the systems shaking the jar. Silence Can Be Powerful: You're not obligated to speak on every issue. If your voice doesn't add clarity or action, it's okay to stay quiet. Passion + Information = Impact: Before you voice an opinion, ask yourself if you're informed and if you're willing to do something about it. Respect the Other Side: Not agreeing doesn't mean hating. Dismissing all opposing viewpoints leads to division, not growth. Fix What You Can Control: Focus on your community, your skill set, and your corner of the world—change starts there. Notable Quotes: “You don't have to have an opinion on everything.” “If you're not careful, you'll burn energy arguing about things you don't even fully understand.” “Sometimes it's not the red ant or the black ant—it's the person shaking the jar.” “I only speak when my voice can contribute something meaningful.” “The more you obsess over what's wrong in the world, the more that's all you'll see.”

We don't like it when situations get complicated. We hate being confused. We want everything to go back to making sense again--and right away. One way to make this happen is to find someone to blame. It's that person's fault. Whew!  We label that person and never again consider them in their wholeness. Reducing someone to a label is a sure way to turn them into an object lesson rather than a complex human being who may a different story to tell rather than the one me make up so we can feel better.  A great example of an attempt like this shows up in the Book of Mormon story of Korihor, labeled "Anti-Christ" and someone who had done evil at Satan's bidding. Through touchstones with personal stories of theirs and other ones we often meet in LDS culture, Terri Petersen, Mark Crego, and LDF host Dan Wotherspoon dive into the Korihor story to name and expand on this basic dynamic of Fear/Blame/Label/Dismiss, and how it can be so harmful in our lives and culture.  What if we interrogate this phenomenon? Might we flip the script on the Korihor story? Who is writing it? Why are they telling it in the way they are? What might be missing from it? With such questions in mind related to the tale of Korihor, could that help us dive deeper into the stories we tell ourselves? And wouldn't it be good to give others the privilege of being more complex than a cautionary tale? We hope you'll find this conversation thought provoking!

Send us a textIn this podcast episode, I delve into invalidation and its significant impact on romantic relationships. I highlight common invalidating statements such as "Why are you upset?", "You're overreacting," or "Calm down," explaining that these make a partner feel their emotions are wrong, unjustified, or excessive. This can lead to increased frustration, shame, and a sense of being alone in their struggle, mirroring the hurt children feel when invalidated.I emphasize the importance of using validating alternatives, such as "I see that you're feeling upset. Can you tell me what's making you feel this way?" or "It sounds like you're feeling anxious right now. That must be really uncomfortable. How can I support you?". These phrases aim to make the partner feel seen and heard, fostering connection and reducing conflict.I then introduce a study on marital conflict behaviors, categorizing them into three styles:•Destructive: Includes actions like yelling, insults, criticism, or bringing up past issues.•Constructive: Involves calm discussion, active listening, saying nice things, or trying to make a spouse laugh.•Withdrawal: Entails disengaging, such as becoming quiet or leaving the situation.The study found that, as expected, husbands and wives who reported using more destructive behaviors had a higher rate of divorce. A particularly fascinating and counter-intuitive finding was that greater constructive behaviors among wives predicted greater divorce rates.

Police Confirm BigfootIn July 2010, a city police officer in Spencer County, Indiana, experienced an unsettling encounter while staying alone at a friend's house on a large, forested property. Late at night, while unpacking on his day off, he felt an eerie sense of being watched. Dismissing it initially, he continued his tasks with his sidearm on. However, the situation escalated when a rock struck the front window, prompting him to grab his shotgun and step onto the porch, suspecting trespassers. There, he spotted a large silhouette at the tree line, roughly 40 yards away, standing nearly eye-level with him despite the elevated porch. As a seasoned officer, he was accustomed to high-pressure situations, but this figure left him frozen and unnerved.The encounter lasted only seconds, with the figure snorting loudly before retreating into the woods, its departure marked by the sound of breaking branches. The officer felt no direct threat and chose not to aim his weapon, sensing the figure's curiosity rather than hostility. Unable to sleep, he later drove to his station and met a county deputy who casually mentioned reports of a large figure in a ghillie suit in the area, referring to it as a recurring presence. The officer learned of similar sightings nearby, including reports four and six miles from his location, suggesting the mysterious figure was known in the region, possibly a local legend or unexplained phenomenon.Join my Supporters Club for $4.99 per month for exclusive stories:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-if-it-s-true-podcast--5445587/support

​In the case of Jane Doe v. Sean Combs et al. (Civ. No. 1:24-cv-08054-MKV), Defendant Marriott International, Inc. has submitted a reply memorandum in further support of its motion to dismiss the complaint. Marriott argues that the plaintiff's allegations fail to establish a legal basis for holding the company liable for the alleged actions of the co-defendants. They contend that the complaint lacks specific factual assertions linking Marriott to any wrongful conduct and that mere association with other defendants does not suffice to state a claim.Furthermore, Marriott emphasizes that the plaintiff's claims against it are speculative and unsupported by concrete evidence. The company asserts that the complaint does not demonstrate how Marriott had any control over or direct involvement in the alleged incidents. As a result, Marriott requests that the court dismiss the claims against it, arguing that allowing the case to proceed without substantive allegations would set a concerning precedent for corporate liability based on tenuous connections.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - Reply ISO MTD (Marriott _ McCrary)(1618681774.5).docxBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ralph welcomes Heidi Shierholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute, to break down the budget bill passing through Congress that is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and working-class to the wealthy in United States history. Then, insurance expert, Robert Hunter returns to discuss the recent rise in auto insurance rates.Heidi Shierholz is the president of the Economic Policy Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank that uses the power of its research on economic trends and on the impact of economic policies to advance reforms that serve working people, deliver racial justice, and guarantee gender equity. In 2021 she became the fourth president EPI has had since its founding in 1986.We've never seen a budget that so plainly takes from the poor to give to the rich… The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that lower and lower middle-income people will actually lose out. They may get something of a tax break, but they lose benefits. So that on net, their after-tax income will be lower after this bill, while the rich just make out like bandits.Heidi Shierholz, President of the Economic Policy InstituteThe draconian cuts that we are seeing to the safety net are not big enough, because the tax increases are so huge that this bill also increases the deficit dramatically.Heidi ShierholzMany folks are calling this the MAGA Murder Bill. They're not wrong. People will die because of the cuts that we're seeing here.Heidi ShierholzRobert Hunter is the Director Emeritus of Insurance at the Consumer Federation of America. He has held many positions in the field, both public and private, including being the Commissioner of Insurance for the State of Texas being the President and Founder of the National Insurance Consumer Organization and served as United States Federal Insurance Administrator.Decide how much you need. Don't ask for more than you really need. And then once you have it, “I need this much for my car. I need this much if I hit somebody” and so on. And then you get that statistic, and you send it out to several companies and get quotes.Robert Hunter on buying auto insuranceThere isn't any program benefiting the American people that Trump is not cutting in order to turn the country over to the giant corporations and the super-rich. It's basically an overthrow of the government and an overthrow of the rule of law.Ralph NaderNews 6/6/251. On May 23rd, the Trump administration Department of Justice officially announced it had reached an agreement with Boeing to drop its criminal case against the airline manufacturer related to the 2018 and 2019 crashes that killed 346 people, NPR reports. The turnover at the federal government in recent years has prolonged this case; the first Trump administration reached a deferred prosecution agreement with Boeing in 2021, but prosecutors revived the criminal case under President Biden, and as NPR notes, “Boeing agreed last year to plead guilty to defrauding regulators, but a federal judge rejected that proposed plea deal.” Just before the deal was reached, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal penned a letter calling on the DOJ not to “allow [Boeing] to weasel its way out of accountability for its failed corporate culture, and for any illegal behavior that has resulted in deadly consequence,” but this was clearly ignored. Paul Cassell, a law professor at the University of Utah and former federal judge who, according to NPR, is representing the families of victims for free, said, “This kind of non-prosecution deal is unprecedented and obviously wrong for the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history…My families will object and hope to convince the court to reject [the deal]."2. That same day, Trump signed a new executive order to “cut down on regulations and fast-track new licenses for [nuclear] reactors and power plants,” per Reuters. According to the wire service, “Shares of uranium mining companies Uranium Energy…Energy Fuels…and Centrus Energy…jumped between 19.6% and 24.2%” following this announcement. Sam Altman-backed nuclear startup Oklo gained 23.1%. The administration's new interest in the nuclear industry is spurred in part by increased demand for energy as, “power-hungry data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence and crypto miners plug into the grid.” The nuclear industry is also expected to retain many tax incentives stripped away from green energy initiatives in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.3. In yet another instance of the Trump administration going soft on corporate greed, the Republican-controlled Federal Trade Commission has dismissed their case against PepsiCo. As the AP explains, “The lawsuit…alleged that PepsiCo was giving unfair price advantages to Walmart at the expense of other vendors and consumers,” citing the 1936 Robinson-Patman Act, which bans companies from “using promotional incentive payments to favor large customers over smaller ones.” Current FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson called the case a “dubious partisan stunt,” in a press release. Former Chair Lina Khan however, called the dismissal “disturbing,” and wrote, “This lawsuit would've protected families from paying higher prices at the grocery store and stopped conduct that squeezes small businesses and communities across America. Dismissing it is a gift to giant retailers as they gear up to hike prices.”4. Instead of utilizing the federal regulatory apparatus to protect consumers and the public, the Trump administration instead continues to weaponize these institutions to target progressive groups. According to Axios, the FTC is “investigating…Media Matters over claims that it and other media advocacy groups coordinated advertising boycotts of Elon Musk's X.” As this report notes, “X [formerly Twitter] sued Media Matters for defamation in 2023 for a report it publicly released that showed ads on X running next to pro-Nazi content. X claimed the report contributed to an advertiser exodus.” While it seems unlikely the social media platform could prevail in such a suit, the suit has effectively cowed the advertising industry, with the World Federation of Advertisers dismantling their Global Alliance for Responsible Media just months after the suit was filed. Media Matters president Angelo Carusone is quoted saying, “The Trump administration has been defined by naming right-wing media figures to key posts and abusing the power of the federal government to bully political opponents and silence critics…that's exactly what's happening here…These threats won't work; we remain steadfast to our mission.”5. On Thursday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cotez endorsed State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in his bid for Mayor of New York City, POLITICO reports. This endorsement came the morning after the first mayoral primary debate, a rollicking affair featuring nine candidates and including a testy exchange in which the moderators disregarded their own rules to press Mamdani to say whether he believed in “a Jewish state of Israel?” Mamdani responded that he believed Israel has a right to exist “as a state with equal rights.” This from the Times of Israel. In her endorsement, AOC wrote “Assemblymember Mamdani has demonstrated a real ability on the ground to put together a coalition of working-class New Yorkers that is strongest to lead the pack…In the final stretch of the race, we need to get very real about that.” Ocasio-Cortez said she would rank Adrienne Adams, Brad Lander, Scott Stringer and Zellnor Myrie in that order after Mamdani.6. Turning to Palestine itself, the Times of Israel reports notorious Biden State Department spokesman Matthew Miller admitted in an interview that, “It is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes” in Gaza. While Miller stops short of accusing the Israeli government of pursuing “a policy of deliberately committing war crimes,” and repeats the tired canard that Hamas resisted ceasefire negotiations, he admits that the Biden administration “could have done [more] to pressure the Israeli government to agree to…[a] ceasefire.” Hopefully, Miller's admission will help crack the dam of silence and allow the truth to be told about this criminal military campaign.7. Even as Miller makes this admission, the merciless bombing of Palestinians continues. The Guardian reports “On Sunday, at least 31 Palestinians were killed after Israeli forces opened fire at the site of a food distribution centre in Rafah…On Monday, another three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire at the same site…And on Tuesday, 27 people were killed after Israeli forces opened fire again, say Gaza officials.” This report continues, citing UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, who said on Tuesday that “Palestinians in Gaza now faced an impossible choice: ‘Die from starvation or risk being killed while trying to access the meagre food that is being made available.'” Türk added that by attacking civilians, Israel is committing yet more war crimes.8. Some high-profile activists are taking direct action to deliver food to Gaza. Democracy Now! reports 12 activists aboard The Madleen, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, have departed from the Italian port of Catania. This group includes Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, actor Liam Cunningham, and Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament. Despite the previous ship being targeted by a drone attack, Thunberg is quoted saying “We deem the risk of silence and the risk of inaction to be so much more deadly than this mission.” Threats to the flotilla continue to pour in. South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!” In Israel itself, IDF spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin ominously stated “we will act accordingly," per FOX News.9. In more foreign policy news, Gareth Gore – a Washington Post reporter and author of Opus, an exposé of the shadowy Opus Dei sect within the Catholic Church – reports Pope Leo has given Opus Dei six months to “pass comprehensive reforms” and has told the group that if significant changes are not made by December, “necessary measures will be taken.” Gore further reports that in addition to the reforms, “[Pope] Leo has also demanded an investigation into abuse allegations…[including] human trafficking, enslavement…[and] physical and psychological abuse of members.” According to Gore, the reforms were first ordered by Pope Francis in 2022, but “Opus Dei dragged its feet – in the hope the pope would pass away first.” Upon his death, Pope Francis had been on the, “cusp of signing into canon law a huge reform of Opus Dei.” The Vatican was also moving to force a vote on a revised Opus Dei constitution, which was, “quietly cancelled” within hours of Francis' death. Perhaps most tellingly, Gore reports “The Vatican has privately reassured Opus Dei victims who have long campaigned for justice that they ‘won't be disappointed'”10. Finally, a political earthquake has occurred in South Korea. Listeners may remember the failed coup attempt by right-wing former President Yoon Suk Yeol, which culminated in his ouster and could ultimately lead to a sentence of life in prison or even death. Now, the country has elected a new president, Lee Jae-myung, by a margin of 49.4% to 41.2%. Lee, who leads Korea's Democratic People's Party, has “endured a barrage of criminal indictments and an assassination attempt,” since losing the last presidential election by a margin of less than 1 per cent, per the Financial Times. Lee is a former factory worker who campaigned in a bulletproof vest after surviving being knifed in the neck last year. The FT notes “Lee…grew up in poverty and suffered [a] permanent injury at the age of 13 when his arm was crushed in a machine at the baseball glove factory where he worked…in 2022 [he] declared his ambition to be a ‘successful Bernie Sanders'.” That said, he has pivoted to the center in his recent political messaging. Beyond the impact of Lee's election on the future of Korean democracy, his tenure is sure to set a new tone in Korea's relations with their neighbors including the US, the DPRK, China and Japan.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Can we talk about women masking at work? I spend a lot of time in conversation with women who are the only woman or one of very few women in the room at work. There is a fatigue and malaise that comes from being in this position long term - even if you enjoy and respect many of the men you're sitting beside. When a person is notably different from the majority of the people around them, they mask themselves to fit in, be taken seriously, gain a competitive advantage, and maintain safety. Here are some of the ways many women routinely mask in male-dominated workplaces: Altering vocal pitch and language Modifying speech patterns to avoid feminine speech markers and amplify masculine ones Dressing to look “good” but also professional, well kept, not too showy, not too sharp Having hair and makeup done in a way that suits the room vs suiting comfort Suppressing natural emotional reactions Avoiding vulnerability Maintaining a calm and demure demeanor no matter how heated others are getting Controlling facial expressions Laughing at jokes even if uncomfortable Participating in meaningless conversations (sports, tech, male-dominated hobbies) Dismissing or hiding personal interests and hobbies Avoiding or downplaying family situations Positioning self as “one of the guys” Avoiding asking questions or seeking help Many women are so conditioned to masking that they don't know they are doing it until they are in an environment where they no longer have to do it. One of the reasons I have built so many group coaching programs for women over the last decade is because of how deeply impactful it is when women come together and drop their masks. In these containers, deep growth and transformation transpire. No facades. No faking it. Only full transparency. All you. All out. THIS is the key to your future as a woman leader. In this episode, I talk through what masking looks like, what masking is costing you, and how you can start to drop your mask to show up more fully as you. All you.   Episode Highlights: 00:00 Understanding Masking in Women at Work 02:46 The Impact of Masking on Emotional Well-being 06:01 Navigating Gender Dynamics in Professional Spaces 09:06 Recognizing and Supporting Masking Behaviors 11:48 The Costs of Masking: Emotional and Professional 15:06 Strategies for Unmasking and Authenticity 18:00 Creating Supportive Spaces for Women 21:08 How You Can Take Action on This Episode Links Mentioned: Join Aligned, my Women's Leadership Incubator for values-driven women leaders looking to be more loud in their leadership in 2025: saradean.com/aligned Interested in becoming a sponsor of the Shameless Mom Academy?

Sixteen years ago, CNBC commentator Rick Santelli stood on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and delivered an impassioned rant against federal plans to bail out struggling homeowners. “Do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages?” he shouted, calling for a “Chicago Tea Party” to protest government intervention.That moment became the rallying cry for a movement that would reshape conservative politics, define opposition to the Obama presidency, and eventually evolve into the MAGA movement that has since won the White House twice.Lately, the Tea Party has been on my mind because of the way political movements are often dismissed by their opponents. In liberal circles, one word was frequently used to wave off the Tea Party: astroturf.“This isn't a grassroots movement,” critics insisted. “It's funded by billionaires to look like a populist uprising.” After all, it started on CNBC—hardly a blue-collar favorite.But that's not the whole story. And now, in 2024, astroturfing accusations are being hurled in the opposite direction.Last week, Republican Rep. Rich McCormick of Georgia faced a hostile crowd at a town hall in Roswell. The moment (captured in a widely circulated video) showed Democrats in his district voicing their frustration, pushing back forcefully against GOP policies.In response, conservatives dismissed the backlash as manufactured outrage, a coordinated effort by the so-called “deep state” to rattle the Republican establishment.Sound familiar?To understand whether today's Democratic anger is real or manufactured, it's worth looking back at how the Tea Party took shape.While Santelli's on-air rant is widely credited with sparking the Tea Party, grassroots opposition to Obama's policies had already begun. Keli Carender, a blogger in Seattle, organized an anti-stimulus protest even before Santelli's speech. Her February 2009 demonstration—dubbed the “Porkulus Protest”—drew about 100 people.But once Santelli's rant went viral, Tea Party protests exploded across the country. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter helped coordinate events, and by April's Tax Day, an estimated quarter-million people took to the streets in organized demonstrations. Conservative media played a crucial role in amplifying the movement. Fox News hosts like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity championed Tea Party causes, helping grow its ranks. Soon, prominent Republican figures lent their support, though the movement remained largely decentralized.By the summer of 2009, as Obamacare made its way through Congress, Tea Party activists shifted their strategy. Instead of street protests, they flooded town halls, confronting Democratic lawmakers with fiery opposition. Videos of these clashes—angry constituents challenging their representatives—became a defining image of the movement.And electorally, the Tea Party had teeth. While it failed to topple the Republican establishment entirely (Mitt Romney still won the 2012 nomination), it helped flip House seats and push the GOP further to the right.What does the Tea Party teach us about today's Democratic opposition?* It's never too early to be angry. Santelli's rant came barely a month after Obama took office. Right now, Trump's disapproval ratings are rising, but Democrats haven't yet rallied around a singular issue.* Movements can make an impact—especially in the House. The Tea Party didn't need to control the White House to change the political landscape. A handful of flipped seats can shift the balance of power.* Dismissing protests as ‘astroturf' is risky. If the same kind of town hall showdowns seen in McCormick's district begin happening elsewhere, they could turn into a trend.The Tea Party was fueled by a raw, pent-up anger over fiscal conservatism. Many conservatives felt betrayed by their own party—George W. Bush had campaigned on balanced budgets, only to expand deficits through wars and bailouts. Obama's presidency, with its ambitious government programs, only amplified those frustrations.The question for Democrats now is: What's their version of that anger?If it's simply opposition to Trump, that's not enough. Even figures like Elon Musk—despised by many progressives—aren't sustainable political villains. “Musk sent another email” isn't a battle cry that will mobilize voters in the long run.That's why Democratic strategists should be tickled by what just happened in the House. They (impressively) passed a budget that, while avoiding direct mention of Medicaid, includes $880 billion in cuts overseen by the Energy and Commerce Committee—which just happens to control Medicaid.Why the cuts? Because fiscal hawks in the House need a way to offset the Trump tax cuts.For Democrats, that's a classic, politically potent message: Republicans are cutting your Medicaid to give tax cuts to the rich.If they can harness that into a movement—one that gets people angry enough to show up at town halls, knock on doors, and vote—then history might just be repeating itself.Podcast Chapters & Timecodes* 00:00:00 – Introduction* 00:01:58 – The Tea Party's Legacy and Lessons for Democrats* 00:14:55 – Dan Bongino Becomes FBI's Second-in-Command* 00:19:15 – MSNBC's Prime-Time Shake-Up & Network Struggles* 00:22:58 – NYC Mayor Eric Adams' Re-Election Challenges* 00:26:27 – Interview with Brian Sack on Ukraine & DEI Policies* 01:05:28 – Wrap-Up This is a public episode.

The resistance and opposition from within Donald Trump's Department of Justice is building. Rather than comply with an unethical directive from DOJ leadership, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Danielle Sassoon, resigned. Emil Bove, a member of Trump's team at the DOJ, directed the acting US Attorney in Manhattan, Danielle Sassoon, to dismiss the case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, not based on the evidence but because they wanted Adams to help the Trump administration with some of it's goals and priorities. But rather than agree to dismiss the case for political reasons, US Attorney Sassoon chose to resigned. Trump's DOJ officials then tried to move supervision of the Adams case down to Washington D.C., and following that - the top two supervisors in the DOJ's Public Integrity Section resigned as well. In a staggering display of retaliation, Bove, one of Trump's former criminal defense attorneys now a top DOJ official, told Ms. Sassoon that both she and the prosecutors who worked on the Adams case would be investigated by the DOJ. Just days earlier, when he was first directing Sassoon to dismiss the case, "Mr. Bove in his order to drop the case said that the directive 'in no way calls into question the integrity and efforts' of the prosecutors working on the case, nor Ms. Sassoon's efforts in leading them".If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
