Iowa Republicans picked Zach Lahn over the Trump-backed Randy Feenstra in the gubernatorial primary. Lahn's a farmer who spoke about the pain of high fertilizer prices and cancer caused by pesticides, earning him support from the MAHA. Was this some rebuke of Trump, or just voters looking for the right person to make their lives better? Critics say ICE detainees face horrific conditions. Trump won over a lot of voters arguing that tough immigration policies were needed to keep the country safe. Does what's unfolding at these detention centers cross a line? Plus, the President's short-lived Anti-Weaponization Fund seems to be dead, and one listener asks when AI political ads cross a line.

Jonah Goldberg is infamous for muttering venomous curses against postliberalism at odd moments, such as while flossing or playing backgammon with Steve Hayes. Recognizing that to the layman this might seem rabid or antisocial, Jonah has invited two authors of a recent book on postliberalism to give some background on this puzzling phenomenon. The trio discusses postliberalism vs. anti-liberalism, integralism, Adrian Vermeule, elite capture, national conservatism, Viktor Orbán, ISI, the Heritage Foundation, subsidiarity, the wish to political violence, postliberalism's institutional future, ground-level antisemitism, right-wing Hegelianism, and Peter Thiel.

Send us Fan MailA lot of first responders can talk anyone through a crisis, then go home and quietly self-destruct. That tension sits at the center of my conversation with Joe Smarro, a former cop known for crisis work who's also honest about the parts of his life that didn't look “resilient” at all: shame, compulsive numbing, relationship fallout, and the kind of hopelessness that puts a gun belt in the room as a real option. Joe walks me through the moment he finally chose help, not hiding, by walking into the VA and starting a treatment journey that's still evolving today. We dig into why stigma in police, fire, EMS, dispatch, and paramedicine keeps people performing at work while collapsing inside. Joe explains how looking in the mirror made him better at humanizing the people he served without turning it into trauma bonding, and why leaders matter when they say, out loud, “I'm going to therapy” instead of pointing to an EAP brochure. We also talk complex PTSD, ACE scores, and how unprocessed childhood trauma can shape adult threat responses, addiction risk, and the stories we live from. Then we get practical about trauma treatment. We unpack EMDR therapy with a simple “two strings” model that shows why the goal isn't forgetting the event, it's stopping the body from reacting like it's happening right now. Joe also shares his experience with ketamine-assisted therapy, including research, safety, set and setting, at-home sessions, and why integration in the 48 to 72 hour window matters so much. If you care about first responder mental health, trauma recovery, PTSD treatment, and what real healing looks like off the clock, you'll get a lot from this one. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more first responders can find these conversations.https://solutionpointplus.com/https://joesmarro.com/https://www.instagram.com/joesmarrohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joesmarro/His book can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=joe+smarro+book&adgrpid=189489075594&hvadid=779590058605&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9001838&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=11939440335994543591--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11939440335994543591&hvtargid=kwd-2672616687752&hydadcr=22534_13730692_8442&mcid=210f362e2b1a34d4afd3b1dab807f421&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_1i3b43osek_eSupport the showYouTube Channel For The Podcast
Dispatch logs obtained by The Santa Fe New Mexican show that emergency calls tied to Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico were relatively limited and mostly mundane on paper: hang-up calls, medical issues, and recreational injuries rather than obvious criminal complaints. The logs appear to undercut the idea that local 911 records alone contain some obvious smoking gun about what was happening at the property, but they also highlight how little the public record captures about a ranch that has become one of the most under-examined locations in Epstein's broader orbit. Zorro Ranch was a massive, secluded property outside Santa Fe, complete with a sprawling mansion, airstrip, helicopter pad, and guest facilities — exactly the kind of private compound that has drawn years of suspicion because of Epstein's known pattern of using isolated luxury properties to conceal abuse.The larger significance is not that the 911 logs reveal a dramatic new criminal episode, but that they show how thin and incomplete the official local paper trail appears to be. A few emergency calls about hang-ups or injuries do not answer the deeper questions around who visited the ranch, what happened there, why it was not searched with the urgency applied to Epstein's other properties, and whether federal authorities ever fully pursued the New Mexico angle.

Dispatch logs obtained by The Santa Fe New Mexican show that emergency calls tied to Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico were relatively limited and mostly mundane on paper: hang-up calls, medical issues, and recreational injuries rather than obvious criminal complaints. The logs appear to undercut the idea that local 911 records alone contain some obvious smoking gun about what was happening at the property, but they also highlight how little the public record captures about a ranch that has become one of the most under-examined locations in Epstein's broader orbit. Zorro Ranch was a massive, secluded property outside Santa Fe, complete with a sprawling mansion, airstrip, helicopter pad, and guest facilities — exactly the kind of private compound that has drawn years of suspicion because of Epstein's known pattern of using isolated luxury properties to conceal abuse.The larger significance is not that the 911 logs reveal a dramatic new criminal episode, but that they show how thin and incomplete the official local paper trail appears to be. A few emergency calls about hang-ups or injuries do not answer the deeper questions around who visited the ranch, what happened there, why it was not searched with the urgency applied to Epstein's other properties, and whether federal authorities ever fully pursued the New Mexico angle. In that sense, the logs are less an endpoint than another reminder of the gap between the scale of public suspicion surrounding Zorro Ranch and the limited information that has been made available through official records.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Santa Fe 911 logs show hang-ups, recreational injuries at Epstein's ranch | Local News | santafenewmexican.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

For nearly three decades, Jonah Goldberg has rightly abused Canada for its many crimes: its adoption of the metric system, slanderous contentions about bacon, and dubious claim to Machias Seal Island, to name a few. Recent events have put Jonah in a more conciliatory mood, however, and he has resolved to bring more of our northern neighbors on the show. Today's token Canadian, Michael R.J. Bonner, joins The Remnant to talk about his recent book on liberalism. Michael and Jonah run the gamut, talking about Steven Pinkerism, liberalism's virgin birth, Cold War liberalism, the Rawlsian turn, postliberal criticisms, subsidiarity, modern progressivism, John Stuart Mill, the religion of humanity, left-wing violence, third worldism, Justin Trudeau's lack of self-understanding, and the war in Iran.

Christina Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren Fidelity Charitable has released an interesting study. Among the findings: “Most pre-retiree and retiree givers (ages 50-80) are committed to giving and avidly supporting their favorite causes. Of the donors surveyed, over half of pre-retirees (56%) and retirees (59%) gave $1,000 or more—and 17% of all donors gave $5,000 or more—to IRS-qualified charities in 2023.” Christina Fidelity Charitable may think that level of support is “avid,” but it sounds pretty anemic to me. Warren It is. Retirees and so-called “pre-retirees” both give far less than the biblical tithe, or 10 percent of their income, taken in the aggregate. That said, working people in their 50s and 60s are often in their peak earning years, and often have their home paid for and their kids through school, so there is some evidence that they are giving more, just not a lot more relative to their income. Christina Any other interesting findings in this study? Warren The Fidelity study found that “more than three-quarters of these pre-retirees and retirees (78%) say that charitable giving plays a significant or pretty important role in their lives” and “almost one-quarter of pre-retirees and retirees (24%) say charitable giving is much more important than other financial priorities.” Christina Retirees are also spending more time as volunteers. Warren “In the last year, over two-thirds of pre-retirees (71%) and over half of retirees (55%) volunteered,” the report said. “Nearly 9 in 10 retired respondents who currently volunteer agree that volunteering is a way to remain active (88%) and connected (91%).” Christina Let's shift gears. The Anglican Church in North America has been in the news lately because of its chaplain corps. There was an ugly split a few months ago. But today, some good news. Warren Rear Admiral Carey H. Cash, an ACNA (Anglican Church in North America) chaplain, is the new Chief of Chaplains for the United States Navy Chaplain Corps. Rear Admiral Cash will provide spiritual leadership and pastoral oversight for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard personnel and their families, strengthening spiritual readiness, moral resilience, and compassionate care in the midst of the unique challenges and demands of military service. Christina Warren, I already know that you are sucker for data and lists. Forbes magazine has a new list out, its annual list of billionaires. What can that list say, and what does it mean? Warren The new annual list from Forbes says there are now 3,428 billionaires on Earth. In 1987, the year Forbes started keeping track, the list had 140 names. The list included more than 400 new entries to the list. The growth of rich and super-rich motivated Washington Governor Bob Ferguson to sign into law the state's first income tax of any kind — a 9.9% “millionaires' tax” on income over $1 million. Christina And even some Christian groups are chiming in the subject. Warren The Christian online journal Mere Orthodoxy has an interesting analysis of the list. Its conclusion: the current wealth inequality is unjust. Christina But you disagree with most of the conclusions of this article. Warren I do. Most of the billionaires are rich because of their ownership in companies that create tens of millions of jobs. And there is that most important and overlooked fact of all in this conversation, and that is that we all die, and none of us take it with us. Most if not all the billionaires on the Forbes list got there because they built companies and stewarded them over time. Their personal wealth is usually incidental to the wealth they have created for others. Now, don't get me wrong. I think – as the Bible teaches – that those with wealth have much greater responsibilities. To whom much is given, much is expected. And the Bible has special condemnation for those of us who have wealth and yet ignore the poor, or structural injustices. But to make a blanket statement about the inherent injustice of wealth are painting with too broad a brush, and are ignoring many wealthy yet honorable people of the Bible. But, in a spirit of equanimity, here is the article. You can decide for yourself if its arguments hold water. Christina I also know you cover the world of journalism. And there have been some changes in the conservative journalism space. Warren The Daily Wire, after having its day in the sun, appears to be on the decline. The online magazine Puck recently reported a “sudden, precipitous decline of Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire,” with “sweeping layoffs and a steep drop-off in audience.” Christina On the other hand, the more even-handed Dispatch seems to be thriving. Warren I was particularly pleased to hear that The Dispatch had promoted my friend Michael Reneau to Executive Editor. According to a statement from The Dispatch, “Michael got his start in local journalism in East Tennessee, rising through the ranks to serve as editor of The Greeneville Sun before moving to national journalism, and eventually serving as editor of WORLD Magazine.” Christina You wrapped up your Signs and Wonders column this week with a few statistics from THINQ. Warren I was stopped in my tracks by some recent factoids from my friends at THINQ, the Nashville-based ministry led by Gabe Lyons. Among their gleanings: 23.7% of all Christian clergy in the U.S. are women, up from 2.3% in 1960. (Axios). And almost a quarter of American women aged 60 and over (24.3%) are on antidepressants. (CDC) You can sign up for THINQ's email bulletins here. Christina You're recording today from Dallas. That's the latest stop in what seems to be a lot of travel this spring. Warren I have had a lot of travel, but I'm not suffering. It has been tiring, but a lot of fun. It was a delight to meet with about 25 MinistryWatch supporters in Dallas this week. It is always fun to tell our story, but to tell it to such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience is even more fun. We will be doing similar events in upcoming weeks in Knoxville, Denver, and Colorado Springs. Let me know if you would like to join us. My email is wsmith@ministrywatch.com. Christina That brings to a close this EXTRA episode of the podcast. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm Christina Darnell, along with Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

Some voters are in the dark about which districts they live in and who their candidates are because officials in several states and the president are obsessed with redrawing congressional maps. The latest push on redistricting comes after the Supreme Court struck down parts of the Voting Rights Act.Also, public health officials are clear: hantavirus is different from COVID and highly unlikely to cause a global pandemic. But is our government ready for the next health crisis? And RFK Jr talks a lot about Making America Healthy Again. But so far, he's getting politically beaten up by the junk food lobby. Producer: Leo DuranHost: David Greene Guests: Elizabeth Bruenig, staff writer, The Atlantic (@ebruenig) Sarah Isgur, senior editor at The Dispatch (@whignewtons)

Send us Fan MailFive years ago, I hit publish with a simple goal: make mental health easier to talk about and easier to access. Now, Resilience Development in Action is built specifically for first responder mental health, because police, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers carry stress and trauma most people never see, then get told to just push through it.I'm sharing what's kept this podcast steady for weekly Wednesdays, including the behind-the-scenes support that makes the audio and video work, plus why I keep sponsorships limited to tools and brands I genuinely stand behind. You'll also hear why I don't want mental health care to be something you reach for only at the breaking point. I make the case for wellness visits, a practical “checkup from the neck up” that mirrors how we treat physical health and lowers the barrier to getting support early.We also dig into the work I'm doing with departments through FRTRESS, with a focus on education, familiarity, and referrals that actually fit the culture. And if you're curious about the video side, I point you to Apple Podcasts video and YouTube, plus a fun giveaway tied to what you can see on camera.If you've ever thought “I'm fine” while carrying too much, hit play. Then subscribe, share the show with someone on your shift, and leave a review so more first responders can find trusted mental health resources.The Behind the Badge and Beyond Website is: https://www.behindthebadgeandbeyond.com/My website is: www.steve-bisson.comVideo version of the podcast is available at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/resilience-development-in-action-first-responder-mental/id1569606639Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!DeemedFit: First Responder OwnedWe are a first responder owned company looking to get first responders in the best mental shape.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Jonah Goldberg, weary of the grind, needs some R&R. Not being much of a beach man and finding ping pong boring, he turns to the one activity which puts the pep back in his step and color in his cheeks: day drinking. Wait … checks notes … rather, Jonah turns to his other favorite recreation: talking about conservatism. Today Jonah's partner in crime is political scientist and notorious conservatism nerd George Hawley. Join this dynamic duo as they dive into the meaning of “right” and “left,” the many new rights, populist tension, the cult of unity, the progressive era, socialism, identity politics on the right, ethnic politics, antisemitism, Russell Kirk, the horseshoe theory, me-too Republicans, and conservatism as ideology and its origins. Show Notes:—George Hawley in The Dispatch: “The Enduring Lessons of Fusionism”—Right-Wing Critics of American Conservatism—Samuel Huntington: “Conservatism as an Ideology”—David Schoenbaum: Hitler's Social Revolution: Class and Status in Nazi Germany, 1933-1939—Jonah's first book: Liberal Fascism—Hawley: Conservatism in a Divided America: The Right and Identity Politics—Charlie Cooke Remnant—George Nash: The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945—Matthew Continetti: The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism The Remnant is a production of The Dispatch, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a nonpartisan perspective.
