A bright red line before a country loses democracy entirely is when its government loses respect for the rule of law and feels free to ignore rulings by judges. So when some of Donald Trump's nominees to be senior DOJ officials gave soft answers on whether a president can ignore judges, alarms rang for many senators present, even Republicans. Senator Dick Durbin, leading Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, talks with Rachel Maddow about the peril Trump poses to the essence of America's identity.

In this episode of Crina and Kirsten Get to Work our hosts consider the silent exclusively female workplace challenge - menopause.  Menopause affects over 1 million women in the U.S. annually. Nearly 20% of all women are grappling with its symptoms right now, often in silence. Hot flashes, brain fog, and fatigue aren't just physical nuisances—they're cultural battlegrounds. Society often wraps a woman's worth in fertility, leaving those navigating menopause potentially battling stigma, shame, and a perceived loss of identity. Unlike aging men hailed as "silver foxes," menopausal women rarely get the same applause. So let's change that narrative. And the workplace is our first stop because, well, it's not such a great place for people experiencing menopause. A Mayo Clinic study revealed menopause costs American women an incredible $1.8 billion annually in lost work time. And we have lots to do with that time, folks!  Fifteen percent of participants reported cutting back hours or missing work due to symptoms, with the worst-affected women 16 times more likely to face “adverse work outcomes.” Disturbingly, over 1% of women quit or were laid off due to debilitating symptoms. Black and Hispanic women often face even harsher impacts, reporting higher rates of symptoms and workplace struggles. In the UK, a similar story unfolds. Nearly half of menopausal women report work-related challenges like low energy, poor concentration, and feelings of isolation. Many fear disclosing their struggles to employers; 47% avoid sharing the real reason for taking sick days. This culture of silence drives one in ten to leave their jobs entirely. So, why does menopause get such a raw deal? Unlike conditions like cardiac disease, menopause doesn't slot neatly into existing workplace health frameworks. The unpredictable, chronic nature of its symptoms demands nuanced solutions—something most workplaces lack. But change is on the horizon. Forward-thinking companies and organizations are beginning to recognize menopause as a workplace issue. From the British Menopause Society to the European Menopause and Andropause Society, folks are advocating for tangible support around menopause: flexible schedules, breathable uniforms, and health plans that cover menopause treatments.  Studies show interventions like yoga, cognitive behavioral therapy, and work-life coaching can make a world of difference. With the right support, menopausal women can thrive—not just survive—in their careers. Let's ditch the stigma, embrace the conversation, and build workplaces where every stage of womanhood is valued. Menopause isn't the end; it's a new chapter, and it's time we wrote it right or maybe write it right?!  You get the point listeners. Study Shows the Staggering Cost of Menopause for Women in the Work Force Impact of Menopause Symptoms on Women in the Workplace;  Without support, many menopausal workers are quitting their jobs;  Menopause in the Workplace - Women's Health Concern

On Nov 26, 2016, the Saturday after Thanksgiving, 18-year-old high school student Ben Keita was reported missing by his parents, Ibrahima and Aissata Keita. He apparently left his home in Lake Stevens, Washington State by himself, without his wallet, phone or car. Temperatures around that time were freezing, and his family was worried the cold could trigger problems for Ben's sickle cell anemia. Because Ben left his cell phone behind, the police were not able to get a precise location to begin their search, so they began by looking through a wide sweeping wooded area around the Keita home.  Experienced searchers, including a dog trained to detect human remains, were deployed. The search for Ben stretched on for days, and then to weeks. Six weeks passed with no sign of Ben. Then, on January 9, 2017, a group of teenagers wandering into the woods stumbled across an awful sight. About 12 to 14 feet from a trail, and about 10 feet from the nearest backyard fence was the body of Ben Keita. He was hanging from a rope strung over a tall branch in a densely wooded area just blocks from his home. Disturbingly, his body was found in an area that was previously searched multiple times in the days after his initial disappearance. One end of the rope was fashioned into a noose around Ben's neck; The other end was attached to a branch that was estimated to be 50 feet in the air. Ben's feet were 2 and a half feet off the ground. Incredibly his neck was not broken. His official cause of death was recorded as asphyxiation. Despite the odd circumstances, based on the fact there were no other evidence of trauma, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner determined the manner of death to be suicide. But Ben's parents immediately objected to this finding. His family said there was no reason to suspect anything was bothering Ben to the point that he would take his life. Ben was a young black man being raised in the Muslim faith. To Ben's family, Ben's cause of death was nothing short of a lynching. What happened to Ben Keita?   Sources: Victim Connect Resource Center. (2024, October 29).

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 12/14/24. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS Days after Suspected Rapist, Suspected Race Soldier Roger Golubski suspiciously died before the start of his criminal trial, former Marine Daniel Penny was exonerated for publicly killing Jordan Neely on a crowded public train. Penny is schedule to join 2-time president-elect Donald Trump at the annual Army vs Navy football contest. They'll have an elegant suite to view the brain damage and concussions. It was reported this week that Amazon will donate $1 million in cash to Trump inauguration next month. Days after the death of Golubski, privileged black males Cedric Warren and Dominic Moore were released from prison after being caged for decades for a murder they did not commit. Suspected Rapist Roger Golusbki was the White Supervisor in charge of this unjust investigation. Suspected White Assassin Luigi Mangione was arrested and charged with killing White insurance CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione was recently employed at the prestigious Stanford University, and his White parents suspect he may have been in the San Francisco area during the last few weeks while Gus T. was still there. Disturbingly, many Whites across the country, and even here in Seattle, seem supportive of Mangione's public, and cowardly, execution of a White insurance executive. We also recognize the passing of poet, educator, and emeritus Virginia Tech professor Nikki Giovanni who died this week at the age of 81. #DoNotGivePoliceYourPhone #TheCOWS16Year INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

In an astonishing revelation that has gripped the American political landscape, former Attorney General John Mitchel, once considered one of the most upright and disciplined law enforcement officials of his time, finds himself at the center of a controversy, casting a long shadow over the office he once adorned with respect and credibility.Arguably, hundreds of millions of American federal employees serve the United States government with an unyielding dedication and an unrivaled zeal for public service. In this vast vortex of workforce, crafting their illustrious careers on the tenets of integrity, transparency, and righteousness, some stand tall, creating their unique benchmarks. And yet, others manage to muddy these ideals. Disturbingly, John Mitchel, one of the ambassadors of law enforcement, finds himself in the latter camp.My years of observing and interacting with these federal employees, belies the recent revelations surrounding the misconduct and alleged criminal activity involving John Mitchel. Never in the annals of American bureaucracy has a scandal of this magnitude involving a public official of such a high rank surfaced, and rarely has a controversy managed to cast such shadows of doubt over the reputation and operation of the federal bureaucracy.It's a twisted irony that Mitchel, once a beacon of justice and integrity, now stands in stark contrast to the ideals he once personified. That being said, it's essential not to overlook the countless other federal employees who continue their services with utmost honesty and dedication, rendering their services to the nation in silence and humility.On the one hand, Mitchel's predicament serves as a stark reminder of how individuals, despite their high offices and illustrious careers, can falter. On the other hand, it exemplifies the diligence and hard work of countless unsung heroes like Jack Smith, a quiet luminary among the federal ranks.Smith, in contrast to Mitchel, rises above the murky waters of controversy - symbolic of the majority of the federal workforce who continue to serve diligently, shaping the progress of the nation one day at a time, all the while maintaining the values and ethics that their offices demand. His journey is a shining testament to the silent resilience many of these federal employees bring to their work.While the Mitchel scandal is a shameful example of misconduct in public office, let's not forget to appreciate the Jack Smiths of this world, who in their quiet and unassuming ways, continue to uphold the dignity and credibility of their respective offices, leading by example, and contributing to the broader cause of public service. In a nation heralded as the epitome of democracy, let these contrasting tales of Donald Trump and Jack Smith serve as a reminder - while the mighty may fall, the honest always stand steadfast.

On this episode of Nightmare Success with Brent Cassity, we explore the shocking and deeply troubling story of Carlos Watson—a pioneering Silicon Valley entrepreneur who built OZY Media from the ground up, transforming it into a near-billion-dollar powerhouse. But in 2019, everything changed. When Watson refused to sell OZY to East Coast competitor Ben Smith (formerly of BuzzFeed)—not once, but five times—the trouble began. By 2021, as Watson prepared for a pre-IPO round, he was smeared in the press, and over the last two years, he faced a stunning indictment and conviction in Brooklyn—despite having no ties to the borough. Disturbingly, the judge in his case, Eric Komitee, had millions of dollars invested in entities tied to Watson's adversaries but never disclosed these conflicts. Award-winning filmmakers Candice Conley and Brenae Perkins have captured this unsettling saga in “The Troubling Case of Carlos Watson: Whose Son Is Next?” Duke Professor David Robinson has also analyzed the case in “Conflict, Bias, and the Railroading of Carlos Watson.” Join us as Carlos Watson shares his incredible journey, the fight against a deeply conflicted judicial process, and what lies ahead in his battle for truth.

Imagine being told you had a “hostile uterus” and sent home, only to discover later you were on the brink of a life-threatening pregnancy complication.This isn't fiction. Terms like “hostile uterus” and “irritable uterus” are still in use, and they're dangerous. In conventional medicine, language like this often subtly blames women's bodies for medical events, creating a culture where women who advocate for themselves are frequently dismissed—or even labeled “difficult.” Disturbingly, some women, particularly Black mothers, have faced extreme consequences like social services or even police intervention for simply speaking up during labor.The stakes are high. Medical and obstetric trauma are a reality for far too many, and symptoms of PTSD are often brushed off as “just part of the experience” instead of being acknowledged as trauma caused by medical mistreatment. This climate of dismissal causes many women to skip important screenings and healthcare visits, increasing their health risks.In this episode, I sit down with Leah Hazard, a midwife, activist, and author who, like me, has seen firsthand the impact of misleading language and inconsistent protocols on women's health. We discuss the urgent need for self-advocacy in healthcare, why it often feels like an uphill battle, and the unsettling inconsistencies in obstetrics. Leah explains how synthetic oxytocin (Pitocin)—a drug widely used to induce or speed up labor—is administered with inconsistent protocols across hospitals, affecting labor experiences, breastfeeding success, and postpartum mental health.Episode Highlights:The Hidden Power of Words: We explore how terms like “hostile uterus” subtly place blame on women's bodies, fueling a culture that sees women as “difficult” when they advocate for themselves.The Impact of Medical Dismissal: Leah shares real-life stories of women whose symptoms were dismissed, leading to delayed or inadequate care—even in life-threatening situations.Birth Trauma and Mental Health: Medical trauma affects a shocking number of women, with many experiencing PTSD symptoms that are often minimized or overlooked, leaving lasting emotional scars.Inconsistent Pitocin Protocols: Leah uncovers how the administration of synthetic oxytocin (Pitocin) varies greatly across hospitals, impacting everything from labor experience to breastfeeding outcomes and postpartum mental health.The Essential Need for Self-Advocacy: We discuss why knowing your body—and the language around it—is crucial in navigating a system that too often undermines women's voices.A Call to Change the Narrative: This episode isn't just for those with a womb; it's a call to examine how society, medicine, and language intersect in women's health, challenging us to create a more compassionate healthcare experience.If this episode resonated with you, consider taking action by sharing it with a friend or leaving a review on your favorite podcast platform.

About ten years ago, the Pew Research Center found that around 85-90% of the global population believes in a deity. At first, this seems promising. But when you dig deeper and ask people to define the god they believe in, you often find that their conception is of a god that doesn't truly exist. Disturbingly, many Jews share this misconception. In this episode, we explore the significance of the upcoming holiday of Sukkos and how it helps us understand the true nature of our Creator.Join the Shema Podcast for the Perplexed WhatsApp Group Community by clicking the following link.Sign up Link for Shema Podcast for Perplexed WhatsApp Group Community ★ Support this podcast ★

 I was a black child raised in a white supremacist cult. When doomsday didn't come, I had to learn how to live the Guardian, By Steve Rose, on September 10, 2024https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/sep/10/i-was-black-child-raised-in-white-supremacist-cult-doomsday-didnt-come-learn-how-to-liveGerald Walker's story is one of resilience in the face of extreme ideological manipulation. Growing up in the Worldwide Church of God, a doomsday cult with white supremacist beliefs, Walker's childhood was filled with fear. From a young age, he was indoctrinated to believe the end of the world was imminent, but even more disturbingly, he and his family—being Black—had to navigate the church's deeply embedded racial hierarchy. Despite this, Walker's family believed they were chosen for salvation, even though their church saw them as inherently inferior. This paradox reveals the powerful grip such organizations hold on their members, using fear and divine justification to maintain control. When the church's predictions of an impending apocalypse failed to materialize, Walker's world began to unravel, forcing him to question everything he had been taught.The story sheds light on the complexities of identity, particularly how race and religion intersect in environments steeped in white supremacy. Walker's family was segregated within their own church, with Black members relegated to separate spaces, not allowed to worship alongside white members. Disturbingly, the church's leader justified this segregation using Bible scripture, claiming that Black people were created to serve whites both on Earth and in heaven. This religious justification mirrored the same tactics used in the slave era when “slave Bibles” were doctored to omit passages about freedom and equality. Despite the blatant contradictions and racist doctrines, Walker's family remained loyal to the church—a testament to the power of indoctrination and the social pressures within such groups.The psychological manipulation within these environments is evident, as cult members often cling to their beliefs despite clear evidence to the contrary. As children, individuals are especially susceptible to believing what they are taught, no matter how harmful those teachings may be. The sense of belonging to a community, no matter how toxic, can also prevent people from leaving, as rejecting the group feels like rejecting their identity and their support system.Walker's journey from being trapped in this cult to finding his own voice as a writer is a story of courage and self-discovery. It reflects the challenges many people face when breaking away from authoritarian religious groups and highlights how deeply ingrained beliefs, especially those learned in childhood, can shape an individual's worldview. His story also forces a critical reflection on how religious institutions, particularly those steeped in racist ideologies, use fear, control, and manipulation to perpetuate harmful narratives. Ultimately, Walker's story is one of transformation, as he learns to rebuild his life, free from the fear and racism that once defined his existence.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.39.2 featuring Cynthia McDonald, Scott Dickie and AJBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

This Day in Legal History: Fugitive Slave Act SignedOn September 18, 1850, U.S. President Millard Fillmore signed the Fugitive Slave Act into law, a key and highly controversial component of the Compromise of 1850 and a dark moment in American history – unfortunately, one among many in the 19th century. The Act required that escaped slaves, even if they had reached free states, be captured and returned to their enslavers. It also imposed heavy penalties on anyone who aided a fugitive slave, including fines and imprisonment. Disturbingly, the law authorized federal marshals and local law enforcement to arrest individuals based on little more than a slaveholder's claim, placing free Black men and women at risk of being falsely accused and sold into slavery.The Fugitive Slave Act enraged abolitionists and free states in the North, who viewed the law as a gross infringement on their legal sovereignty and moral principles. Northern citizens were now legally obligated to participate in the enforcement of slavery, a practice many detested. Conversely, slaveholders in the South celebrated the law as a victory, seeing it as essential for the preservation of their economic system. This deepened the divide between North and South, escalating tensions that would eventually lead to the Civil War. The Act's passage not only exposed the fragility of compromises between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions but also galvanized the abolitionist movement. It showed how far the federal government was willing to go to protect the institution of slavery, making resistance increasingly inevitable.In a piece I wrote for Forbes, I weighed in to a tax policy proposed by former President Donald Trump. Floated by Trump at a rally in Arizona, the "No Tax on Overtime" policy aims to eliminate income tax on overtime pay, echoing a previous proposal to end taxes on tips. While the policy is presented as a way to relieve tax burdens on hourly workers, a closer analysis reveals several potential issues. By creating a tax-free incentive for overtime, the policy could favor workers able to put in extra hours, leaving others—like working parents—disadvantaged. This could deepen income inequality, as those unable to work overtime would continue paying taxes on their standard wages, while others benefit from a lighter tax burden. Additionally, employers may shift compensation structures to push for longer working hours, leading to lower base wages and a culture of overwork. Implementation of the policy would also create administrative challenges for employers and the IRS. Instead of targeted tax breaks, broader reforms like increasing the federal minimum wage might better address wage inequities without distorting the labor market.‘No Tax On Overtime' Policy Would Be Even Worse Than ‘No Tax On Tips'In the first 10 days of Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, lawyers contributed more to her than they did to Donald Trump's campaign over nearly two years, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. Harris received nearly $8.3 million from around 26,000 contributions from individuals listing "attorney" or "lawyer" as their occupation after Joe Biden endorsed her in July 2024. In comparison, Trump's campaign, which began in November 2022, raised about $6.88 million from lawyers over that entire period. Lawyers have historically favored Democratic candidates, with Harris's and Biden's campaigns together raising significantly more from the legal profession than Trump's campaign. In previous elections, Democratic candidates like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden have all received much more financial support from lawyers than their Republican counterparts. The data reflects a broader trend where large law firms and individual lawyers increasingly lean toward Democratic candidates.Lawyers Give More to Harris in 10 Days Than Trump in Entire RaceDonald Trump recently pledged to restore the state and local tax (SALT) deduction, a tax break he limited during his presidency as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In a post on Truth Social, Trump promised to reverse the $10,000 cap on SALT deductions, which has disproportionately impacted residents in high-tax areas like New York, especially in suburban areas where property values are high. The cap was initially supported by Republicans as it helped balance tax cuts elsewhere in the law. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Trump's reversal, pointing out that Trump himself had imposed the cap. Repealing the limit could add an estimated $1.2 trillion to the cost of extending the tax law. Trump's focus on this issue, particularly in Long Island, reflects the area's significance in ongoing battles for control of the U.S. House of Representatives.Trump Pledges to Restore SALT Write-Off, Tax Break He Curbed (1)Yesterday, on September 17, 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed two bills designed to protect actors and performers from unauthorized use of their digital likenesses by artificial intelligence. One bill mandates that contracts specify when AI-generated replicas of a performer's voice or image will be used, requiring the performer to have professional representation in contract negotiations. The other bill prohibits the commercial use of digital replicas of deceased performers without consent from their estates. These laws respond to growing concerns in the entertainment industry about AI's potential to exploit performers' likenesses without permission, part of broader fears about AI's ethical and legal implications.California governor signs legislation to protect entertainers from AI | Reuters This is a public episode.

It's Wednesday, August 21st, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Northern India state arrested 1,682 Christians About a dozen states in India have anti-conversion laws. These laws are often used to persecute Christians. The state of Uttar Pradesh in Northern India has the harshest version of the law. Over the last four years, the state has arrested 1,682 people under the Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act. Most of those people are Christians, including pastors. The arrests have led to over 800 charges.  However, International Christian Concern noted, “No one has been convicted under the anti-conversion law because there has never been a shred of hard evidence against the religious conversions.” According to Open Doors, India is the 11th most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian. British pro-lifer compensated $17,000 A Christian woman won a settlement against British police recently after praying silently outside an abortion mill, reports The Washington Times. West Midlands Police have arrested Isabel Vaughan-Spruce multiple times since 2022 for her prayers. Alliance Defending Freedom U.K. reports she won a settlement worth about $17,000.  However, the U.K. is considering a national implementation of censorship zones around abortion mills. Vaughan-Spruce warned, “Our culture is shifting towards a clamp down on viewpoint diversity, with Christian thought and prayer increasingly under threat of censorship.” U.S. Supreme Court rules against transgenderism Last Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the Biden administration's attempt to protect transgenderism. The Department of Education had issued new rules under Title IX which, as originally envisioned, prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. The new regulations would have added protections for so-called “gender identity” and “sexual orientation.” Jonathan Scruggs with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “Female athletes, students, and teachers across the country are right to stand against the administration's adoption of extreme gender ideology, which would have devastating consequences for students, teachers, administrators, and families.” Biden: “America, I gave my best to you!” On Monday night, President Joe Biden summed up his career in politics at the end of his remarks at the 2024 Democratic Convention in Chicago. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: “America, I gave my best to you! [Cheering and Applause] “For 50 years, like many of you, I gave my heart and soul to our nation. And I have been blessed a million times in return with the support of the American people. I may have been too young to be in the Senate -- I wasn't 30 yet -- and too old to stay as president. [Laughter] “But I hope that you know, how grateful I am to all of you.” Planned Parenthood offers free abortion kill pills to DNC attendees The Democratic National Convention began on Monday in Chicago.  Disturbingly, Planned Parenthood has been offering free abortions to attendees at the venue. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser said, “The Democratic National Abortion Convention puts the extremism of the Democrats on full display. The days when the Democrats insisted abortion should be ‘safe, legal and rare' are history.  “From ‘free' abortion drugs aboard the Planned Parenthood bus [to DNC attendees] to a draft party platform that uses the word abortion an unprecedented 13 times, today's Democrats under the Harris-Walz ticket are officially the Shout Your Abortion Party.” How Kamala Harris/Tim Walz ticket is radically pro-abortion Dannenfelser underscored how radical the Harris/Walz ticket is. She said, “Everyone should be asking Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, and all the Democrats' candidates the question: ‘What are your exceptions?' “Harris and Walz won't name a single limit on abortion they support – not in the seventh, eighth or ninth month of pregnancy when unborn babies clearly feel pain, and not even when a child is born alive following an abortion attempt. “They stand for eliminating the most basic protections for women and girls, such as informed consent and parental involvement, and seek to shut down alternatives to abortion.” Romans 3:15 and 18 says, “Their feet are swift to shed blood. … There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Fox reporter: Media doesn't challenge Kamala Harris In an appearance on FOX News with Sandra Smith, John Roberts made the case that the media is in the tank for Kamala Harris. JOHN ROBERTS: “The media is just basically letting Kamala Harris say anything she wants and not really challenging her.” SANDRA SMITH: “I'm still amazed that when you go to her campaign website of course the first thing you see is a request from for money for donations. That's fine, but then you travel throughout her website, there's still no policy pitches or explanations or details being offered to voters as to how she's gonna fix -- fix the problems that she's laying out in her speeches.” ROBERTS: “It used to be if you wanted to get a good sense of what the policy of the particular candidate was you would go to their website and would be all laid out there on a policy page in great detail. That page doesn't even exist on Kamala Harris's website.” SMITH: “Not there.” 8.5% of U.S. homes worth $1 million A report from Redfin found the share of U.S. homes worth at least $1 million is at a record high. Eight and a half percent of homes are now worth $1 million or more, up from about two percent in 2014.  Home prices have been rising, and luxury home prices have been rising even more. The median sale price of luxury homes rose nine percent on an annual basis during the second quarter of this year. California metropolitan areas are seeing the most increase in million-dollar homes.  Landscapers spot unexploded World War 2 bomb And finally, a pair of landscape gardeners were left shell-shocked after digging up an unexploded bomb from World War II, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. Residents were evacuated from their homes in Worcester, England, while police and bomb squads rushed to the scene following the discovery by Paul Probert and James Dobson, who is not the Christian psychologist who shares the same name. Paul said he thought he had found a Coca-Cola bottle at first until they saw the shape. After James did a Google image search, he learned it was a World War 2 bomb. West Mercia Police used an Explosive Ordnance Disposal team who examined the device for hours and transported it safely away from the area to carry out a controlled explosion. Paul said, “We've found water pipes and electricity lines, but never a bomb. It wasn't your average day.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 21st, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

It's Tuesday, August 20th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson How you can help Barnabas Fund feed Zimbabweans The most serious hunger problem in the world today is happening now in Zimbabwe, according to the Barnabas Fund and GlobalHungerIndex.com. The Barnabas Fund has fed 11,600 Christians during the present crisis. At least 68 million people in South Africa have been affected by severe drought this year. Pray for Zimbabwe, and considering helping at BarnabasAid.org.  Click on “Change Project” and type in “Zimbabwe” and select “Feeding in Zimbabwe.” Venezuelans continue protest against Nicolás Maduro Venezuelans are still protesting the re-election of autocrat President Nicolás Maduro — questioning the integrity of the vote count taken three weeks ago.  Over 2,400 protesters have been arrested — and, tragically, 23 have died in the protests. 52 countries lost freedom Freedom is disappearing around the world.   Freedom House's latest report on worldwide freedoms released in 2024, indicate a loss of freedoms in 52 countries, and a gain in 21 — for an overall loss in 31 nations of the world. The agency indicates a steady decline in freedom every year since 2006.   The organization explains that “Election manipulation was a major driver of declining freedom in 2023 and continued into the first half of this year.” But keep in mind that freedom comes through Jesus. In John 8:36, He said, “If the Son will make you free, you will be free indeed.” Montana Supreme Court calls parental notification unconstitutional The Montana Supreme Court has ruled that a parental notification law for minors considering an abortion is unconstitutional. The 2013 law has been in litigation for over a decade. The court's decision held that a minor's right to “kill her own baby” or, in the ruling's language, “control her reproductive decisions”  is “among the most fundamental of the rights she possesses.”  Only 35% of Evangelicals have Biblical worldview Only 10% of Americans are Evangelical, and only 35% of these possess a Biblical worldview, according to a recent survey by the Cultural Research Center and pollster George Barna.  According to Barna's description, Evangelicals are those who recognize their sinful lives, rely upon Jesus Christ for their redemption, and receive practical life guidance and wisdom from the Bible in their quest to live under the Lordship of Jesus. Disturbingly, 60% of people attending “Evangelical” churches have accepted the popular idea that animals, plants, water, and the wind all have a unique spirit. And almost half of the adults attending Evangelical churches, 44%, believe that there is no absolute moral truth.  Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton opened the DNC last night The Democratic National Convention opened last night in Chicago, with addresses from President Joe Biden and the 2016 Democrat nominee for president, Hillary Rodham Clinton.  Trump – 49%; Harris – 45% Among the most accurate and reliable polling organizations, Rasmussen Reports, has issued the results of a survey of the U.S. presidential race conducted last week.  Donald Trump is still ahead of Kamala Harris -- 49% to 45%. The results are similar to the Rasmussen survey conducted on July 10th — placing Trump ahead of Biden, 46% to 40%. Nasdaq's gains The Nasdaq Composite is regaining ground since its drop in early August — still enjoying a 36% gain from early in 2021. However, the Russell 2000 Index of small cap companies, which represents the rest of the American business world, has not gained any since January 2021.   The dominant forces in the market are still the Magnificent 7 stocks of Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta (META), Tesla (TSLA), and Nvidia (NVDA). Those stocks continue to do well, rising from taking up 7.5% of the total S&P 500 capitalization to now around 34% of the total S&P capitalization in the U.S. stock market.  Phil Donahue dead at 88 Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed once for man to die and after that the judgment.” Iconic TV talk show host Phil Donahue, who hosted the Phil Donahue Show from 1967-1996, is dead at 88 years of age after a long illness, reports NBC News. He was a life-long Catholic, and “not a very good one,” in his own words. Phil Donahue interviewed atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair For 29 years, his daytime talk show pioneered an intriguing mix of serious topics, provocative guests, well-known celebrities, and questions from the audience members. In 1988, he interviewed atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair. Listen to his introduction. DONAHUE:  “Mrs. O'Hair is probably the world's most famous atheist. She is certain that there is no God. Mrs. O'Hair, as you probably know, is singly responsible for one of the most controversial decisions in the history of the United States Supreme Court, the banning of the official reading of prayer in public schools.” Here's a soundbite from their dialogue. DONAHUE: “Now, this really bugs me, Madalyn.” O'HAIR: “I know it does.” DONAHUE: “See, you say, ‘I don't know how this all began.' And I say, ‘I want to know why, if you don't know how life began, how you're so certain there is no God.' To be consistent, I think you should say, ‘I don't know where life began, and I don't know if there's a God.' O'HAIR: “All right, let me finish it then, because, this is the thing. Since we don't know about this, since none of us know.” DONAHUE: “Know what?” O'HAIR: “How it began, or why, or when, or if it began at all. What we have to do is take all of the evidence. If we pile the evidence up, and all of the evidence of science -- and it's really massive -- is on one side, and on the other side is a book that we know, for the most part, when it was written and how it was written, etc. -- and this flies in the face of all of the other evidence, then you discard the book. You say, ‘It's no good.'” DONAHUE: “But discarding the book doesn't necessarily prove that there is no God. Let's talk about a higher being.” O'HAIR: ‘No, not a being.” DONAHUE: “What do you call it?” O'HAIR: “Some higher entity.” DONAHUE: “Alright, a higher entity. You are saying you don't know if there is one, aren't you?” O'HAIR: “That's right.” DONAHUE:  “That's not atheism. That's agnosticism.” (O'Hair giggles) Donahue was married to Margaret Cooney, his first wife, for 17 years with whom he had five children.  Then, Donahue married actress Marlo Thomas, his second wife, for 44 years. Kendrick Brothers release “The Forge” Christian movie this Friday The Kendrick Brothers release their new Christian film this week - The Forge -- on Friday August 23rd.  It's the story of a young man named Isaiah who is challenged by his single mom … MOTHER: “It's hard for a woman to call out the man in her son.” and a successful businessman who disciples him. MENTOR: “What kind of man do you want to be? And what do you want people to think when they see you coming?” Through biblical discipleship and prayer, Isaiah begins to discover that God's purpose for his life is so much more than he could hope for or imagine.

Karen Thomas of Naturally Recovering Autism interviews Zen Honeycutt from Moms Across America on Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury Found in Baby Formula. Catalyzed by the FDA's failure to regulate heavy metals in baby formula, a coalition of consumer advocacy groups commissions testing of 20 different brands. Groups urge the FDA and legislators to protect infants from toxic exposure. Severe health risks posed by these toxic metals include developmental delays, cancer, kidney damage, and neurocognitive difficulties. A coalition of consumer advocacy groups, including Moms Across America, GMOScience, and The New MDS, has uncovered alarming levels of toxic metals in baby formula. Testing of 20 popular brands revealed that 100% of samples contained aluminum and lead, with over half also testing positive for arsenic, mercury, and cadmium. Disturbingly, six formulas contained all five metals in both samples. Notably, aluminum levels in one goat's milk formula were up to 40,000 times higher than other metals tested, far exceeding FDA safety limits. Mercury and cadmium levels in several samples also surpassed allowable limits in drinking water. Despite the FDA's “Closer to Zero” initiative launched in 2021, no substantial regulatory limits have been set, leaving babies vulnerable. Recent efforts, including the Baby Food Safety Act of 2024, which was announced by Congress on May 9, one week after the heads of Moms Across America and GMOScience met with lawmakers and the FDA in D.C. to deliver the results of the baby formula testing, aim to give the FDA authority to regulate and enforce limits on levels of heavy metals found in baby food and potentially formula. Talk points in this podcast: Alarming rates of toxic metals when testing 20 different baby formula brands. 100% of the 40 samples tested contained aluminum and lead. 57% of the samples tested positive for arsenic, 55% for mercury, and 35% for cadmium. Six of the 20 formulas were positive for all five toxic metals in both samples. At 41,000 ppb, aluminum levels in a goat's milk baby formula were 4000 – 40,000x higher than other metals in the formulas tested and exceed limits set by the FDA for maximum safety level of aluminum for a preemie. Levels of mercury in four samples measured above the limit allowed by the FDA in drinking water. Levels of cadmium in both samples of one formula were nearly twice the level allowed in drinking water.

Have you heard? I have just announced our second Outdoor Classroom's CIRCLE Book Club selection! It's Balanced and Barefoot: How Unrestricted Outdoor Play Makes for Strong, Confident, and Capable Children by Angela Hanscom.Book description: Today's kids have adopted sedentary lifestyles filled with television, video games, and computer screens. But more and more, studies show that children need "rough and tumble" outdoor play in order to develop their sensory, motor, and executive functions. Disturbingly, a lack of movement has been shown to lead to a number of health and cognitive difficulties, such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), emotion regulation and sensory processing issues, and aggressiveness at school recess break. So, how can you ensure your child is fully engaging their body, mind, and all of their senses?Using the same philosophy that lies at the heart of her popular TimberNook program - that nature is the ultimate sensory experience, and that psychological and physical health improves for children when they spend time outside on a regular basis - author Angela J. Hanscom offers several strategies to help your child thrive, even if you live in an urban environment.With this book, you'll discover little things you can do anytime, anywhere to help your kids achieve the movement they need to be happy and healthy in mind, body, and spirit.Come join us in our CIRCLE Community Roundtable for a lively discussion about this book.

"He who tries to defend everything defends nothing."     ~  Frederick the Great of Prussia This episode examines the three explosive national security crises the United States and world are embroiled in today, any one of which could escalate into igniting a World War III. Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Hamas and Taiwan/China.  Disturbingly, there's a lot of sabre rattling with far too many politicians in both Europe and the United States engaged in reckless rhetoric.  To provide cogent analysis and a healthy dose of sobering realism at a time when we face dire risks, Bill is joined by national Security experts and returning guests Stephen Bryen and Brandon Weichert. Dr. Stephen Bryen, a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy, has over 50 years national security experience including many stints in the Pentagon where he became one of the world's leading experts on the arms trade. Brandon J. Weichert, author of The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy is publisher of the Weichert Report and author of the soon to be published A Disaster of Our Own Making: How the West Lost Ukraine.   Some excerpts:   “The neoconservative, neoliberal cabal running Washington believe fully that they have to fight everywhere all the time to preserve America's unipolar standing and our hegemony in the world. But this quest for hegemony has led to the absolute destruction of America's post-Cold War primacy,” warns Weichert. “And if we are not careful, in the next six months, we will not only lose that primacy., but we may become like the declining Ottoman Empire or Austro-Hungarian Empire on our way out. We've overcommitted and overextended, and we're paying the price.” “NATO is flirting with war and extinction,” worries Bryen. “France is now "officially" sending troops to Ukraine and NATO countries are demanding strikes deep inside Russia.  Meanwhile the US has secretly made a "policy shift" that somewhat falls short of what Zelensky wanted, but opens the door to deep strikes by the US on Russian territory.” “It's very hard to see how NATO could defend Poland or the Czech Republic or Estonia. These are not easy countries to defend, and NATO doesn't have today the core countries of NATO, the French, the Germans, the British, it doesn't have the wherewithal to do it. It doesn't have the army or armed forces. It doesn't have the air defenses. It doesn't have the air forces, it doesn't have the tanks. It doesn't have anything sizable enough, and the ability to actually logistically move it to the battlefield.” “So the notion of NATO fighting a war, which is what French President Macron and all these clowns are essentially taunting the Russians with, is a very dangerous thing because it means that Europe could be enveloped in a war can't win.” “Russians have developed a pretty sizable air defense capability,” explains Bryen. “They have very good artillery capability. They have increasingly shown their capability with drones and drone warfare, none of which we're prepared for, and our best tank, the Abrams, which our only tank, we've put all our eggs in this one tank. The Abrams is a disaster.”   “The think tank community and the Biden Administration have a plan to contain Russia by rolling it back to its medieval borders, so that it's never again a threat to Europe and the West,” marvels Wiechert. “This is utterly fantastical thinking, this is childish thinking. Russia is not going to let it happen without a fight.” “Well, their plan not going to happen,” agrees Bryen. “The underlying error, and I think it was a huge error, was that we should confront a nuclear power, a significant nuclear power with the dismemberment. We were going to break up the Soviet Union, now Russia. We're going to dismember it, and we're going to sponsor the opposition in Russia, and somehow create this great transformation. But we're messing around with a nuclear power.”   “We've essentially forced the Russians into the arms of the Chinese through our policies, which was complete stupidity,” says Bryen. The neocons are very explicit the US must be the unchallenged superpower. In every place in the world, in every region, we must dominate.  This is the thinking that got us into the Middle East. This is the exact thinking that led us down the wrong path in Iraq and then the Arab spring. “They believed the notion that there was going to be only one superpower and it was going to be the United States,”reminds Bryen. “And since we were to be the only superpower we had to take on these responsibilities. Well, we weren't the only one superpower, and today, we're just one of three, and increasingly the weaker of the three.”

Recently, special counsel Jack Smith and his prosecutor team came under fire for severe transgressions in their confidential information case against former President Donald Trump. Clear missteps have been identified by seasoned legal analysts after reviewing the updated submissions made by Smith's team to U.S. District Judge, Aileen Cannon. Reports published by Just the News revealed that Smith's prosecution team made shocking admissions in their submissions. Disturbingly, they have confessed to manipulating a body of evidence originally procured from an FBI incursion in August 2023, which took place at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Simultaneously, they deliberately misled Judge Cannon regarding specific details related to the evidence and the findings thereof. The revelation has raised the eyebrows of many in the legal field. Legal authority figures speaking to Just the News have suggested that this could spell doom for the prosecutors. They have drawn attention to the strict court rules about retaining evidence in the original state it was collected, stressing just how sharply Smith's team may have deviated from the course. The Smith prosecution team's Friday filing added another twist to the tale. It would seem the integrity of the documentation procured from the Mar-a-Lago estate is in question. The arrangement of the documents within some of the seized memo boxes has ostensibly been tampered with, creating two distinct sequences - one digital and another one based on the physical documents' arrangement within the boxes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are a lot of ways that health has become dissident. For instance, an image from Doctor Collen shows the biochemical reaction that statin drugs cause. Interestingly, statin drugs block the proper utilization of vitamin D in our bodies, a vitamin that was instrumental for the body to fight Covid. Health is for dissidents so be a dissident. Our food is under attack as companies coat our fruit and vegetables with chemicals to make them last longer. RFK Jr. is exactly right in his assertion that the processed food companies hand in hand with Big Pharma.

Along the way, George fell in love with young Della and when she planned to marry someone else he was faced with a dilemma: he could not marry her himself and he could not bear to see her wed to another. The solution he chose pleased no one. (Thus She Passed Away) *** In the 1800s scientists and doctors needed cadavers to study human anatomy and practice their skills. To help accommodate the need, it was made legal to sell dead bodies. What could possibly go wrong?

6 Disturbingly Creepy things Found by Police

It's Tuesday, April 9th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Somalian Muslims killed 6 Christian Kenyans Al-Shabab Islamic extremists are suspects in the killing of six Christian men in Somalia on Good Friday, March 29, reports International Christian Concern. Originating from Kenya, the six men were selling plastic goods and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with Muslims in the Islamic town of Dhobley.  Please, pray for their families as they mourn the loss today. According to the Open Doors World Watch List, Somalia, Africa is the second most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. 11 Chinese hospitals suspended birthing operations The South China Morning Post reports that 11 major national hospitals have suspended birthing operations since last June — due to China's ongoing birth dearth. Total number of births across the country dropped to 9 million last year — get this — down from 18 million in 2016!   That's the lowest birth rate since accurate records were made available in the 1940s. China suffered a population loss of a half million people last year. At this rate, demographers estimate China will lose about 700,000,000 people or half their population over the next 80 years. Military buildup in Japan, China, and India Eastern nations are building up their respective military complexes. Japan's defense budget is expanding — a 16.5% budget increase over the last year.  Japan is inching towards a 2% GDP military expenditure, up from 0.9%  in the 1990s and early 2000s. China has also announced a 7.2% increase on its military expenditures for 2024. That's an officially released number of $236 billion — about double what it was in 2013. Even more significant, India's military spending has increased from $14 billion to $77 billion since 2000. Meantime, U.S. military spending has dropped from 7% of the GDP to about 3.5% of the Gross Domestic Product since 1980. 28-year-old depressed Dutch woman getting euthanized The Free Press reports on a 28-year-old Dutch woman who is “tired of living” and “depressed,” and will be euthanized by doctor's assistance. Zoraya ter Beek says she is “a little afraid of dying, because it's the ultimate unknown. We don't really know what's next—or is there nothing? That's the scary part.” Tragically, 138 Dutch people were killed or “euthanized” by a doctor who were committed on psychiatric grounds in the Netherlands last year, reports Dutch News.  Disturbingly, 5.4% of Dutch deaths are doctor-assisted suicides.  Trump on abortion: Leave it to the states Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency, announced Monday that he would rather leave abortion legislation up to the states, instead of seeking a federal law protecting the lives of the unborn. Trump announced his position on Truth Social. Listen. TRUMP: “Many people have asked me what my position is on abortion and abortion rights, especially since I was proudly the person responsible for the ending of something that all legal scholars -- both sides -- wanted and, in fact, demanded be ended: Roe v. Wade. They wanted it ended. “It must be remembered that the Democrats are the radical ones on this position because they support abortion up to and even beyond the ninth month. The concept of having an abortion in the later months and even execution after birth, and that's exactly what it is. The baby is born, the baby is executed after birth is unacceptable. “My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it, from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land, in this case, the law of the state.” Trump also emphasized his allowance for killing the child in the cases of rape and incest. He places the priority on “the salvation of the nation” and winning elections, in his words “without which we will have nothing other than failure, death, and destruction." Biden wants to forgive more student debt before election Before November's presidential election, President Biden is attempting to squeeze in one more student loan forgiveness program which could impact 30 million college borrowers, reports Forbes.com. The new plan proposes to forgive accrued interest, and forgive loans for those earning less than $120,000 per year. Total student debt in the US tops $1.75 trillion, with an average debt of $28,950 — 92% of which are federal loans. Thus far, the President has managed to wipe out $143 billion in federal student loans. 2 Chronicles 19:7 says, “And [Jehoshophat] said to the judges, ‘Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.'” Missouri, Michigan and Hawaii are targeting homeschoolers In the parental rights arena nationally, Missouri and Michigan state governments are proposing compulsory attendance laws which would lower the entry school age to 5 years of age. Plus, the Hawaiian government is proposing mandatory “wellness” visits from friendly Department of Education bureaucrats for families who choose to homeschool. Now, if you live in Missouri, Michigan, or Hawaii, please examine the suggested calls for action by the Homeschool Legal Defense Association.

And finally, a Venezuelan named Juan Vicente Pérez was 114 years old. His 115th birthday was just next month. He was married to his wife, Ediofina, for 60 years until she died in 1997.  The couple had 11 children including 6 sons and 5 daughters.  He also enjoyed his 41 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchildren.  Juan shared his secret for a long life with the Guinness Book of World Records. He said, “just work hard, rest on holidays, go to bed early, drink a glass of aguardiente (that's an alcohol) every day, love God, and always carry Him in your heart."  Proverbs 3:15-16 reminds us that “Wisdom is more precious than rubies. … Length of days is in her right hand, in her left hand riches and honor.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, April 9th in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Extra Print British Prime Minister vs. Baylor professor on Rowling Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has generated controversy by publicly labeling men, pretending to be women, as men, which is a violation of Scotland's new law. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said, "People should not be criminalized for stating simple facts on biology.” An English professor from Baylor University, Greg Garrett, who teaches classes on Harry Potter, condemned Rowling for her statements, reports Fox News. He claimed she “hated trans people.”

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It's a shortened version of this week's more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. It's estimated that around one third of sexual assaults committed against Australian children are carried out by other children, according to the Australian Center for Child Protection. Australian children are increasingly displaying harmful sexual behaviours and there's a tendency within our society to minimise it and characterise it as normal sexual development. Our guest on Australian True Crime today, Emma, was the victim of other children's harmful sexual behaviours when she was 13 years old.We know that adult sexual predators tend to seek out vulnerable children to take advantage of. Disturbingly, that approach seems to be instinctive. As you'll hear in this episode, Emma was definitely vulnerable when her attackers singled her out from the crowd.For Support: Lifeline  on 13 11 1413 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples)1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.

Could a mother and her mentor, once trusted with the care and guidance of children, be responsible for their abuse? This troubling question has been answered in the case of Ruby Franke, a parenting YouTuber, and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt. Both women have been sentenced to four consecutive prison terms each, following guilty pleas to child abuse charges. The case came to light after one of Franke's children fled Hildebrandt's residence in August, seeking help from a neighbor. Franke, known for her "8 Passengers" YouTube channel, and Hildebrandt, who ran ConneXions Classroom, faced six counts of aggravated child abuse, with each count carrying a possible prison term of one to 15 years and a fine of up to $10,000. During sentencing, state prosecutor Eric Clarke likened the environment Franke's children endured to a "concentration camp-like setting," describing Franke's actions as "horrible acts of child abuse." Clarke also labeled Hildebrandt a "significant threat" to the community. In court, Franke acknowledged her guilt and expressed gratitude to the officials who rescued her children. She agreed to testify against Hildebrandt as part of her plea deal. Hildebrandt's plea agreement revealed her awareness and participation in the abuse. Disturbingly, it included forcing Franke's daughter to repeatedly jump into a cactus and detailed other heinous acts of torture. Franke's family, including her husband Kevin Franke, who has filed for divorce, has been left to grapple with the aftermath. Kevin's lawyer stated his focus on keeping the children together and under his care. In a recent court appearance, Ruby Franke apologized to her former husband, calling the end of their marriage a "tragedy." Statements from Franke's family, including her brother Beau Griffiths, suggest Hildebrandt's manipulative influence over Franke. Griffiths, himself a former participant in Hildebrandt's program, accused Hildebrandt of brainwashing his sister. The sentencing marks the end of a harrowing chapter for the Franke family and raises serious questions about the influence and responsibility of those in positions of trust. As Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt face the consequences of their actions, one wonders: How did such a trusted figure in parenting guidance fall so far from grace?   Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a shocking incident, a 13-year-old boy is facing accusations of murdering 60-year-old grandfather Richard Sanchez during an argument that escalated on a public bus last week. The dispute, which allegedly began over a blocked aisle, resulted in a tragic loss of life and has left the community in disbelief. The incident occurred on a Saturday night at around 6:41 p.m. at the intersection of South Federal Boulevard and West Mississippi Avenue, just a few blocks away from Empower Field at Mile High, the home of the Denver Broncos. According to authorities, the argument between the teen and Sanchez escalated to the point where the teenager shot the elderly man. Sanchez was immediately rushed to the hospital, but tragically, he was pronounced dead. Another individual sustained injuries during the altercation but did not require hospitalization. Disturbingly, Sanchez's family was kept in the dark about his fate until they attempted to file a missing person report the following Monday. Joseph Chavez, Sanchez's grandson, expressed the family's shock and heartbreak, saying, "It's been hard because we didn't know where he was at, and the whole time, he was at the hospital, and they didn't contact us. Nobody was there with him during his last breath." Chavez fondly remembered his grandfather as a "really happy dude," emphasizing the senselessness of the tragedy. The Denver Police Department is holding the 13-year-old suspect under investigation for first-degree murder. The Denver District Attorney's Office will ultimately determine the charges against the teenager. This shocking incident has highlighted safety concerns on Denver's public transit system, with reports showing that at least 178 passengers reported being assaulted or injured while using RTD transit in 2021 and the first two months of 2022, according to RTD records shared by Fox 31. The tragic incident has also brought attention to the overall crime rate in Denver. As of 2023, the city has been averaging six homicides per month, raising concerns about public safety and the need for community vigilance. As the investigation into this heart-wrenching incident continues, the Denver community is left grappling with the senseless loss of Richard Sanchez and the pressing need for safer public spaces for all residents.

In the labyrinthine saga of the Delphi murder case, a poignant question looms: How can the public trust a legal system mired in controversy and perceived improprieties? This query forms the crux of a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," where Tony Brueski, alongside retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, dissected the alarming developments in the case against Richard Allen, accused of the heart-wrenching murder of two young girls in Delphi, Indiana.    The bizarre turn of events in Allen's case is raising eyebrows and fueling skepticism. Disturbingly, Allen's attorneys recently admitted their powerlessness in representing him if systemic obstacles continue to thwart their efforts. This admission, unsettling in itself, was compounded by the revelation that Allen's interactions with his lawyers were severely restricted, occurring through the "food hole" of his prison cell. Such conditions not only cast doubt on the integrity of the judicial process but also hint at a deeper malaise within the prison system itself.    Dreeke, with his extensive experience in behavioral analysis, was struck by the unprecedented constraints imposed on Allen's attorneys. "In all his years, this is the first time these kind of constraints were put on him when working with a client," Dreeke reflected, emphasizing the abnormality of the situation. This scenario, as Brueski articulates, is destroying trust in the system, not only in Delphi but potentially beyond.    The case's peculiarities don't end there. Allen's transfer to a state prison, rather than remaining in the county jail system, complicates matters further. The distance between Allen and his legal representatives – over 100 miles – is not just logistically challenging but also raises questions about the motive behind such a move. Is this an intentional ploy to hinder Allen's defense, or is it a glaring oversight in the prison system?    Brueski and Dreeke pointed out the reckless handling of the case, treating Allen as a convicted felon rather than an accused awaiting trial. This treatment is antithetical to the principle of innocent until proven guilty, a cornerstone of the American justice system. The lack of privacy during attorney-client meetings, as Dreeke noted, is a direct violation of Allen's rights and further undermines the legitimacy of the proceedings.    The parallels drawn with the Alex Murdaugh trial, where jury tampering allegations surfaced, serve as a reminder that the integrity of the judicial process is paramount, regardless of the defendant's guilt or innocence. The unfolding events in Allen's case are a stark reminder that justice is not just about the verdict, but also about how it is reached.    The absence of transparency and oversight in the prison system handling Allen's case is a significant concern. Dreeke calls for a clear exposition of the rules, processes, and procedures governing such situations. "What I would love to see, and what the public needs to see, is what are the rules, process, and procedures for this prison system for someone like Allen," Dreeke urged, emphasizing the need for an objective approach free from subjective biases.    This call for transparency is not just a demand for clarity; it's a plea for restoring faith in a system that seems to be faltering under the weight of its own inconsistencies. The perceived subjectivity in Allen's treatment is fueling a perception of injustice that can have far-reaching consequences, undermining public confidence in the law.    In the end, the Delphi case is more than just about determining guilt or innocence; it's a litmus test for the justice system's ability to maintain its integrity under scrutiny. The fundamental question remains: Will the system rise to the occasion and rectify its shortcomings, or will it continue to erode public trust in its pursuit of justice?

In the labyrinthine saga of the Delphi murder case, a poignant question looms: How can the public trust a legal system mired in controversy and perceived improprieties? This query forms the crux of a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," where Tony Brueski, alongside retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke, dissected the alarming developments in the case against Richard Allen, accused of the heart-wrenching murder of two young girls in Delphi, Indiana.    The bizarre turn of events in Allen's case is raising eyebrows and fueling skepticism. Disturbingly, Allen's attorneys recently admitted their powerlessness in representing him if systemic obstacles continue to thwart their efforts. This admission, unsettling in itself, was compounded by the revelation that Allen's interactions with his lawyers were severely restricted, occurring through the "food hole" of his prison cell. Such conditions not only cast doubt on the integrity of the judicial process but also hint at a deeper malaise within the prison system itself.    Dreeke, with his extensive experience in behavioral analysis, was struck by the unprecedented constraints imposed on Allen's attorneys. "In all his years, this is the first time these kind of constraints were put on him when working with a client," Dreeke reflected, emphasizing the abnormality of the situation. This scenario, as Brueski articulates, is destroying trust in the system, not only in Delphi but potentially beyond.    The case's peculiarities don't end there. Allen's transfer to a state prison, rather than remaining in the county jail system, complicates matters further. The distance between Allen and his legal representatives – over 100 miles – is not just logistically challenging but also raises questions about the motive behind such a move. Is this an intentional ploy to hinder Allen's defense, or is it a glaring oversight in the prison system?    Brueski and Dreeke pointed out the reckless handling of the case, treating Allen as a convicted felon rather than an accused awaiting trial. This treatment is antithetical to the principle of innocent until proven guilty, a cornerstone of the American justice system. The lack of privacy during attorney-client meetings, as Dreeke noted, is a direct violation of Allen's rights and further undermines the legitimacy of the proceedings.    The parallels drawn with the Alex Murdaugh trial, where jury tampering allegations surfaced, serve as a reminder that the integrity of the judicial process is paramount, regardless of the defendant's guilt or innocence. The unfolding events in Allen's case are a stark reminder that justice is not just about the verdict, but also about how it is reached.    The absence of transparency and oversight in the prison system handling Allen's case is a significant concern. Dreeke calls for a clear exposition of the rules, processes, and procedures governing such situations. "What I would love to see, and what the public needs to see, is what are the rules, process, and procedures for this prison system for someone like Allen," Dreeke urged, emphasizing the need for an objective approach free from subjective biases.    This call for transparency is not just a demand for clarity; it's a plea for restoring faith in a system that seems to be faltering under the weight of its own inconsistencies. The perceived subjectivity in Allen's treatment is fueling a perception of injustice that can have far-reaching consequences, undermining public confidence in the law.    In the end, the Delphi case is more than just about determining guilt or innocence; it's a litmus test for the justice system's ability to maintain its integrity under scrutiny. The fundamental question remains: Will the system rise to the occasion and rectify its shortcomings, or will it continue to erode public trust in its pursuit of justice?

A shocking case has emerged in Pennsylvania, where a 20-year-old woman, Alesia Owens, has been arrested in connection with the tragic death of her boyfriend's 1-year-old daughter, Iris Alfera. Prosecutors have charged Owens with multiple offenses, including criminal homicide, alleging that she poisoned the young girl with household items. Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry made the announcement regarding the arrest.    The incident dates back to June 2023 when emergency responders were called to the home of Iris' father in New Castle, located northeast of Pittsburgh. At that time, Iris lived with her father and Alesia Owens. Responders found the 1-year-old child unresponsive. Iris was immediately transported to a local hospital for medical attention and subsequently airlifted to UPMC Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh. Tragically, she passed away on June 29, 2023.    The cause of Iris' death was determined through an autopsy conducted by medical examiners. The examination revealed that she succumbed to organ failure caused by acetone poisoning, a devastating revelation.    Disturbingly, investigators from the New Castle Police Department uncovered evidence suggesting that Alesia Owens had researched household products with fatal potential for children in the months leading up to the tragic incident. According to the attorney general's office, Owens conducted numerous online searches between February and June, specifically related to the circumstances of the toddler's death.    These searches allegedly included inquiries about household products that could prove deadly to a child, such as water beads, batteries, and nail polish. Owens' online queries also featured phrases like "beauty products that are poisonous to kids" and "medications leading to accidental poisoning deaths in children."    Furthermore, it has come to light that Iris Alfera had been hospitalized several months before her untimely demise. During this previous hospitalization, she had ingested several harmful objects, including approximately 20 water beads, batteries, and a metal screw. Although Lawrence County Children and Youth Services were alerted following this incident, no charges were initially filed, as reported by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.    Currently, Alesia Owens is being held at the Owens County Jail, having been denied bail. The circumstances surrounding this case are undeniably tragic and heart-wrenching, leaving the community in shock. Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry expressed her sentiments, stating, "The details of this case are heartbreaking. It is hard to fathom someone taking deliberate steps to harm a completely helpless child, then mislead investigators about what happened."    As this deeply distressing case unfolds, many are left grappling with the unsettling nature of the allegations against Alesia Owens and the profound loss of young Iris Alfera. Prosecutors will continue their efforts to seek justice for the innocent child, and the community watches closely as the legal proceedings progress.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
