Today, Dom leads off the Dom Giordano Program by offering his thoughts on many unfolding local and national topics. First, Dom updates the situation on the still-contested election between McCormick and Casey, as Casey continues his fight in courts to allow the counting of certain ballots in a seemingly useless effort to flip some votes. Then, Dom offers up his thoughts on the ongoing Laken Riley trial playing out live, noting the deep implications of the border policies on local communities throughout the country. Also, Dom runs through some of the cabinet picks, honing in on the controversy that developed around Trump's selection of Robert Kennedy Jr as Health and Human Services Secretary. Then, Dom welcomes Broad and Liberty and RealClearPennsylvania columnist Guy Ciarrocchi onto the Dom Giordano Program to hear his in-depth analysis of Trump's big win in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. Guy breaks down county-by-county who flipped toward Trump, noting some of the most important demographics in electing Trump. In today's second hour, Dom brings Pastor Bill Devlin of Octane Faith back onto the Dom Giordano Program. Devlin, a globetrotting missionary, has been a regular guest over the years, to hear how he's been after recently breaking bread with new Ambassador to Israel Nominee Mike Huckabee. Dom also reminisces of a relationship Devlin built with RFK Jr after Devlin stepped forward and helped people keep their jobs during Coronavirus when companies were mandating vaccines. Then, Dom welcomes State Senator Cris Dush onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss Bucks County Commissioner Diane Marseglia's call for the commissioners to violate the rule of law and ignore the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, saying that the County should count misdated and undated ballots in an attempt to swing the Senate vote from McCormick to Casey. Marseglia's argument stems from Trump's election, noting that people violate laws anytime they want, so they should, too. Dush takes issue with these comments, noting the importance of election integrity, and tells what's being done and what he hopes is done about the comments. in today's third hour, Dom welcomes newly elected State Senator Joe PIcozzi, who alone, after knocking on thousands of doors, flipped an area of Northeast Philadelphia that had been trending Blue in recent years. Picozzi explains how he did what many thought was unthinkable, explaining how he was able to capture a district that has long eluded Republicans with absolutely no help from the establishment Republicans of Philadelphia.

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom welcomes back Riley Gaines, women's rights activist and Director of the Riley Gaines Center, to hear what she's been up to as she continues to face the flack of the Trans community as she strives for protections under Title IX for competitive integrity. Gaines tells about an incident last week where she was verbally shunned and kicked off the campus at Penn State, contextualizing the series of events that puts the University's biases on full display. Then, Dom welcomes State Senator Cris Dush onto the podcast after the State Senator was filmed at the Riley Gaines event at Penn State defending the right to free speech against a very loud and angry protestor. Dush explains that Penn State is within his district, and this was another example of intimidation and bias on college campuses, a place in which open thought should be encouraged and fostered.

Like other lawmakers in a handful of states, Pennsylvania Senate Republicans have initiated a sham review of the 2020 general election. On a party-line vote, a committee of the state Senate voted to subpoena the personally identifying information of all nine million registered voters in Pennsylvania. The subpoena demands voters' names, addresses, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers. ACLU-PA has joined a lawsuit challenging the subpoena as co-counsel for eight individuals and three advocacy organizations - Make The Road Pennsylvania, Common Cause PA, and the League of Women Voters of PA. Oral arguments in the case will be held on December 15 before the Commonwealth Court in Harrisburg. In this episode, we hear from Diana Robinson, civic engagement director for Make The Road PA, and Marian Schneider, consulting attorney on elections and voting rights for ACLU-PA. Marian and Diana discuss why the Senate's sham review is an unnecessary distraction from real issues, why it threatens both voting rights and the right to privacy, and how supporters of democracy can support and protect the franchise.

President Biden announces a COVID vaccine mandate for all businesses with 100 or more employees. His administration seems to have had it with the politicization of the pandemic. In his address he said: “What makes it incredibly more frustrating is we have the tools to combat covid-19, and a distinct minority of Americans, supported by a distinct minority of elected officials, are keeping us from turning the corner...We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us.” Centrist and right-leaning Democrats' are waffling on the big infrastructure bill. Writing in The American Prospect, David Dayen has is right: Democrats are bowing to the “curse of artificial scarcity,” allowing right-wing frames about deficits and wrong-headed economic reasoning to whittle away at critical climate and infrastructure investment.  Scientists are finding that animals are literally shape-shifting in response to climate change. But hey, no rush Joe Manchin.  Speaking of Manchin, looks like his daughter is in some hot water. Yup, seems like she was cashing in on the epipen price inflation scandal...uh oh.  Is the paste causing sterility in men? One study showed that Ivermectin may do that.  Senate Democrat Vincent Hughes cited Pennsylvania Spotlight's research at the end of yesterday's sham "fraudit" hearing.  It was so good it forced Senator Cris Dush to end the line of questioning and gavel out of the hearing.  Senator Hughes asked Fulton County Commissioner Stuart Ulsh about an email he sent to fellow committee members asking them to help overturn the 2020 election.   Kutztown University president, Kenneth Hawkinson, warns faculty, staff, and students about an even bigger threat than COVID: discussions about a possible solidarity action in support of Steve Oross and others who the university has denied ADA accommodations for. In a 720 word missive, he sounded the alarm that students and faculty would misconstrue a few people dressed in cover-alls standing on a sidewalk with signs supporting stricter COVID precautions and in support of Steve Oross as an actual biothreat. Wow.

Guilty, guilty, guilty. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin found guily on all three counts in the murder of George Floyd. Now attention turns back to the work of fundamentally transforming policing in America.  The three former Minneapolis police officers who were involved in George Floyd’s arrest and who stood by as Derek Chauvin killed Floyd, will be facing their own day of reckoning in court in the coming months.  As if to underscore that convicting Derek Chauvin would not change the rot at the core of American policing, police shot and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright just 10 miles from where Derek Chauvin’s trial was being held.  Axios reported that Senate Democratic and Republican staffers see the Chauvin verdict as “taking off the pressure” to pass meaningful police reform. And...is Nancy Pelosi actually trying to hurt Democrats and prove to everyone that she and others in the party leadership are completely out of touch?  India sets a new global record for the most number of COVID cases in a day at more than 330,000. Until now, the United States was the only nation to see that number of cases in a day. Hospitals in Delhi and in other large cities are running out of oxygen. Indian journalist Rana Ayyub told Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman “it is an apocalyptic situation in India right now.” With a population four times as large as the United States the devastation from the virus could prove catastrophic and lead to the spread of new virus strains. The explosion of COVID cases in India has further exposed inequity in vaccine distribution globally. Even though India is one of the largest producers and suppliers of vaccines to the world, corporate patent protections have prioritized getting vaccines to nations who can pay top dollar, not to those who need it most. We can thank Bill Gates for that, as outlined in Ann Neumann’s recent article in the Baffler, “Who Owns Vaccines.”  Yesterday, on Earth Day, Biden made a commitment to cut U.S. carbon emissions in half by 2030.  While the commitment is one of the boldest we’ve ever seen from an American president, energy experts told the New York Times that such a move would “require a dramatic overhaul of American society,” and fundamental changes in American’s energy system. It remains to be seen if the Biden administration truly has the political will to do what is necessary to meet his own commitments. It should be noted that climate scientists and activists have pointed out that even Biden’s bold goals are not enough to stave off some of the worst effects of climate change.  Priorities USA, the Super PAC that supported Hillary Clinton in 2016, released a report last week that was very critical of Democrats' ad spending.  Republicans outspent Democrats on TV and digital advertising for House and Senate campaigns 8 to 12 months before the 2020 even though Democrats outspent Republicans by the time of the election.  And here’s the kicker: 75% of the money Democrats spent on TV advertising for Congressional races missed their target audiences.   DC Statehood, baby. House passed a D.C. Statehood bill yesterday. The bill moves on to the Senate. It will be one more test of how wedded to the filibuster Democrats are.  Seth Grove and the House Republicans from the State Government Committee released their “findings” from their election integrity hearings.  Republicans are eyeing up voter IDs for in-person voting and those voting by mail, limiting dropboxes to one per county, having signature tests and third party witness signatures for mail-in ballots and purging of the voter rolls. Stephen Caruso from the Pennsylvania Capital Star published an amazing interview with House State Government Chair Seth Grove.  During the interview, Caruso asked Grove how he can be a “good faith” actor in negotiating voting reforms when he is associated with ALEC, put his name on letters seeking to overturn Pennsylvania’s election results and had a meeting with Kris Kobach during his election integrity hearings.  Grove’s response “we’ll see.”   Election truthers, conspiracy theorists and insurrectionists inspired by the MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell returned to the capitol this week demanding that the Pennsylvania General Assembly pass legislation to conduct a complete audit of the 2020 election.  The event was such a hit that independent journalist and documentarian, Zach Roberts, traveled to Harrisburg for it.   Cris Dush went full blown “Cold Warrior” in the middle of a Senate appropriations hearing yesterday.  Dush used COVID conspiracies and Nazi anaologies when asking Acting Department of Health Secretary Allison Beam if the Wolf administration intentionall sent COVID infected patients to nursing homes and turned those nursing homes into “death camps.” In an Op-Ed this week, Tara Murth and Susan Frietsche from the Women’s Law Project, warned that maternal mortality is skyrocketing in Pennsylvania while PA Republicans continue to pursue anti-abortion legislation that will only worsen the crisis. HB 1977 is a near total abortion ban; SB 21 pretends to protect people with disabilities as a justification for restricting abortion rights; and HB 1890 would mandate a death certificate be issued for every abortion and would threaten medical providers who did not obtain a death certificate.  The Chronicle of Higher Education ran a big, if rather superficial, story on PASSHE Chancellor Greenstein’s plans to fundamentally redesign the 14 state-owned university system. While much of the article misses the mark, it has helped place PASSHE in the national spotlight - right where Greenstein wants it, I suspect.  APSCUFs survey of the faculty affected by the planned mergers found that fewer than 8% of faculty were supportive of the mergers and only 7% believed the process has been transparent.  NASA’s Mars helicopter, Ingenuity, made not one, but two flights on the red planet this week. The historic first flight on Monday saw the helicopter take off, hover about 10 feet in the air for about 30 seconds, then descend back to the ground. On Thursday, the flight lasted almost a minute. The helicopter hovered at about 16 feet and moved sideways for about 7 feet before returning to the ground.  Meanwhile on the ground, NASA’s Perseverance rover turned a bit of Martian air into breathable oxygen thanks to an instrument called MOXIE. The little toaster-sized instrument is designed to separate oxygen atoms from carbon-dioxide molecules. The test produced enough oxygen to give a single astronaut about 10 minutes of breathable air.  Early this morning the SpaceX Crew-2 Dragon capsule launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida upon a Falcon 9 rocket. The international crew consists of 2 astronauts from the U.S., one from Japan, and one from Russian. Crew-2 should arrive at the International Space Station early tomorrow morning.  U.S. military chose Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, and General Atomics for their first phase of a project to test nuclear propulsion systems in orbit.  And, SpaceX beat out Blue Origin and defense contractor Dynetics to win build the space craft for NASA’s Artemis mission to the Moon.  I got myself some Human Robot beer this week! And...a hat.  Free Will Releases.

Day 12 – Lenten Prayer and Reflection – 5th March 2021   We'll go into today's reflection, so we welcome everyone who is joining in, if case you're joining for the first time or if you've just woken up. God is waiting to do mighty and great things in and through us today. Let's just thank God and praise the Lord for a moment. We've got two beautiful readings today and we'll just directly go into the readings. The first reading is taken from Genesis chapter 32. The story is, in Genesis 32, about Israel and his sons, and specifically about Joseph. We know the story so we won't really go into read the whole thing, so let's start from verse 3. Genesis 32:3 Israel loved Joseph best of all his sons. For he was the child of his old age, and he had made him a long tunic. When his brothers saw that their father loved him best of all his sons, they hated him so much that they would not even greet him. There is a bit of a family tension here. Very common to our family situations perhaps, the dynamics haven't changed much after all. So what happens? Israel, Jacob has many sons, and then in comes Joseph and suddenly he becomes the favoured son. And this makes the rest of the brothers really, really upset. It kind of upsets their situation. And then they become really sad. So we know what happens. We've learnt this, we've studied this. What did they do? The brothers colluded, they got together, and they plot to kill their own flesh and blood. When Joseph comes one day they all plot, they decide to kill him. Thank God Reuben jumps in the middle and says, "No, we don't have to kill him, let's just throw him down the pit." And that way comes certain foreigners, and they sell him over. They trade him off, they are done with him. They pretty much wash their hands over their brother's life. That's there is the Old Testament. When we quickly move to the gospel, in the New Testament, there is a very similar incident. Jesus speaks of a parable. Again, we have come across this parable, listened to this parable. It's the parable of the landowner and the tenants. Matthew 21:33 There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. Then he leased it to the tenants and went on a journey, When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat, another they killed, and the third they stoned. Very similar incidents. The landowner prepares the land, he puts up a vineyard and he leases it to the tenants, and then when it was harvest time, he sends his servants to collect his share of the produce, but what happens? The tenants beat them up, kill them and react in a really bad way. Just like the siblings we saw in the Old Testament. So this whole week when I was praying and thinking about these two incidents, in the Old Testament and the New Testament, I was really pushed to think why did this happen? Often we tend to paint people bad, so quickly. So because we want to make a hero out of Joseph, we make the siblings the villains. That's how we work. If we want to make someone a hero, we put the others down. Sometimes we do it for our own selves, to make us feel good, in order to feel good about ourselves, we end up tarnishing someone else. Putting them down, make them look like the villain. It's a similar scenario. For the longest time we've probably painted Joseph's siblings as bad, as the villains of the story, so that Joseph can be put on a pedestal as the hero. But the Lord reminded me,   it's really important to stop here and ask, why did they do this? Why did they come to the state where they wanted to kill their own flesh and blood? And why did the tenants, in spite of the goodness of the landlord, why did they beat and thrash and stone the landlord's servants. I think that's the question we're going to linger upon -- why did they do this? Why were they cruel? Usually, our behaviours are driven by our emotions. When the siblings and the tenants, when they behaved in that particular way, it is easy to say they behaved in that way probably out of fear, out of insecurity. When their father loved their younger brother more than them, it creates a certain sense of insecurity, fear. It's probably the same for the tenants, they were looking after this vineyard and now the produce has come, the harvest looks good, and now when they had to part with that produce, when they had to give back to the landowner his share, they probably didn't want to part with it. They probably felt insecure, as if a sense of loss had come into their heart. So if you really dial all of this down, it all comes to a place of hurt. It all comes to a place of pain. When Joseph was born probably up until that time the siblings would have experienced the love of the father. They would have spent a lot of time with their dad, they would have done things together, and then in comes Joseph, all of them just fade into the background. And this probably happened over a period of time. Jacob was supposed to love them all equally, that's what a father is supposed to do. Love all their children equally. That's the calling of a father. So when the father who was supposed to love them equally didn't love them so, instead he picked a favoured son out of his own weakness and when the father who was supposed to build them up, was in fact breaking them internally, there was hurt and pain that was developing inside of them. And when this happens over a long period of time, when pains gets accumulated over a period of time, there is a lot of anger, remorse and bitterness, and hatred that grows along with it. Here is a very personal thing. It can make you and it can break you. We can see from the behaviour of the siblings and the tenants, how pain broke them. They didn't deal with it because they didn't find a correct way to channel their pain, to deal with their pain, it in fact broke them. That is why it is so important that we deal with our pain. I think that's really what the Lord personally taught me today. Because undealt with, pain can push you to do crazy things. And when I say crazy, I don't mean the good kind of crazy. It will make you do hurtful things. When you haven't brought your pain to the Lord, when you have not dealt with it, it will really make you do hurtful things. It's so obvious with Joseph's brothers and the tenants, they didn't deal with their pain. Over the years, when they were coming face to face with unfairness, not being able to enjoy the love of their father, all that pain accumulated over time and it created a sense of being neglected, being cornered, so having developed over a period of time, it pushed them to be cruel. So cruelty, most of the time, stems from a place of pain. Even the tenants for that matter, resolved to violence. When they become insecure, when they did not want to part with the produce, when they didn't want to share the produce with the landowner, they resorted to violence. It was their way of dealing with pain. It's really interesting to see how their violence slowly aggravated. Matthew 21:35 But the tenants seized the servants, and one they beat, another they killed and the third they stoned. You can see how this slowly started. First they beat the first servant, and then the pain aggravated more. Then they killed the next one, and the third one, they went the extra mile to traumatize, to torture the person, that they stoned him.   When we have undealt with pain it can also happen to us. What happens? It slowly, subtly starts grooming from within us. We don't really realize it. We think, okay we've dealt with it, we're done, we just move on with life and nothing's going to happen, but when we don't deal with pain, little by little it grows from within us. It starts from little jealousies, little bitterness, little reactions, things that we really ignore saying, "Okay, I'm just in a bad mood. This doesn't mean anything. I just had a bad day" and it creeps in like that. It started like that for the tenants and how their violence slowly aggravated. If we don't really do anything about it, one day, sooner than later, it will go to a level where there will be a volcanic eruption. Where we'll completely lose control and it will not just destroy us, it will destroy those around us. And sadly, our family members, those closest to us, our friends, our communities become victims of us. First we start out as victims, and because we haven't dealt with what's hurting us, we end up victimizing others. So what is it that you and I need to do? We need to turn to God with our pain. Because after all that's where the answer is. Joseph did this in the Old Testament, it is so evident, we know the story, how it ends in glory. Even though the brothers did so much of harm to him, even though the brother pushed him away and sold him off, and even though he went through so much after that, he dealt with that pain with the Lord. Scholars actually say that Joseph foreshadows Jesus, they went through similar circumstances. We know Joseph was mocked by his family, he was sold for pieces of silver, he was stripped of his robe, he was delivered to the Gentiles, he was falsely accused -- the list goes on. They went through almost identical or similar incidents. What did Joseph do? Did he succumb to that? Did he become a victim? Was his entire life's story a victim's narrative or a victorious narrative? That's what we really need to see. We know how it ended for Joseph and how it ended for his siblings. Not just for him, the entire nation was blessed because of him. That is because he took his pain to the Lord, just like Jesus did. When Jesus was broken, when Jesus was humiliated, when Jesus was put to shame, when Jesus was subject to unjust and unfair treatment, and when he was going through the most painful moments of his life, Jesus didn't put up a show. He didn't say, "I'm God, I don't need to show my pain." No, he exposed his vulnerability, he was broken, he allowed himself to be broken, and that is why he shouted out, "Father, why have you forsaken me?" That comes from very deep, hurtful place. His cry of pain was so real, that you and I could relate to him even today. He had no need to put on a show or say, "I shouldn't show that I am in pain. I shouldn't show that I am struggling." He didn't do that. When he was hurting, when he was struggling, when people were attacking him, when he was going through the biggest tragedy of his life, he opened up to the Father. He turned to God with his pain. And that is so important for us, to learn to grow us mature Christians. When I was preparing for this message, I came across this beautiful tweet that Pope Francis had tweeted. It was actually when Lent began, he put this tweet on his Twitter account, it was so profound and I would love to share it with you today. He says: "All of us our specialists in crucifying others to save ourselves. Jesus instead allowed Himself to be crucified, to teach us not to shift evil unto others." In these lines, Pope Francis says, Jesus responded to pain differently and in doing so, he put an end to the pain, he did not shift pain to others. Because he opened up to the Lord, there was an end to the pain and the agony. We can really draw comparisons. Joseph's brothers, the siblings, all of them, when they experienced pain and rejection and they were neglected by their father, they didn't deal with it. And they kept it with themselves, and as a result what happens? They shifted their pain to Joseph. It came out in the form of violence, it came out in the form of bitterness, and because they could not deal with their pain, they shifted it over to Joseph. And that is why they were so cruel to their own brother.   It's the same with the tenants. When they came face to face with insecurity, with fear of losing, what did they do? They did not deal with it with the Lord, because they didn't discuss with the landowner, they could have come and spoken to the landowner and dealt with it, but they didn't do that. But because they deal with it themselves, they shifted their pain onto to the servants. That's why they beat them, that's why they trashed them. But Pope Francis says so profoundly, Jesus shows us a different way. Because Jesus chose the cross, because he allowed himself to be crucified, because he dealt with God, he dealt the pain that he was going through when he turned to God, he did not shift evil, instead from the cross he allowed God's divine mercy to flow out. And that changed everything. Most often we make the mistake of not dealing with pain. We think we need to put up a show, we think we need to show ourselves as strong people. When I entered the profession I am in, I was first stunned because I am a person who is straightforward, my face really shows what I am going through, which you probably saw at the beginning of this video because there was a lot of fear, tension inside and it just reflects in my face, I don't know to hide it. But when I entered my profession, I figured out the biggest art or the skill everyone had mastered was keeping a flat face, was keeping their posture, no matter what was going on, no matter how you were getting thrashed, they would just keep their posture. I found it really hard to learn that, because I wasn't used to it. I think all of us do it, not that it's a bad thing, I suppose in my profession it's a good thing. All of us do that to ourselves in life itself, we feel that we need to show something, we feel we need to maintain something like a way we need to project ourselves, so we don't really expose our vulnerabilities. We even use the words "inner response" for this. Why do I say that? When we have confronted conflict, when we confront pain or when we're going through a difficult time, we give an inner response, because that is what is expected of us. So we say, "I'm giving inner response and forgiving that person" but inside there is like a lava boiling and there is so much of anger, we're annoyed, we're frustrated, but outside we're like "I'm giving an inner response, I need to forgive you." What happens is, you're damaging yourself, your relationship with that person and sooner rather than later, all of this is going to come out and you're going to be super exposed. When we also reconcile with people without really truly dealing with the cause of the problem, without dealing with our pain, we tend to reconcile and move on with our lives, without really pausing and dealing with the chaos. And it's so important this Lent, I believe the Lord is inviting us to turn to Him with our pain. We don't need to put up a show, we don't need to have a straight face with God, we don't need to cover our vulnerabilities, the good news is that He knows everything. He knows the dirt, He knows the ugliness, He knows everything that's going on, so He's inviting us to expose ourselves to Him. So in life we go through various types of pains. As most of you know, Dush my husband and I, we started a business 9 years ago. The first few years were okay, when we came to the third year of our business, I distinctly remember we went through a major financial crisis. It was so bad because we had put everything into the business -- whatever little we had, we didn't have a lot -- we were not really doing well. Clients were not paying, business was not picking up, it was so difficult. I remember distinctly one day, we only had Rs. 800 in the account. And I don't mean Rs. 800 in the account and lots more in the fixed deposit. No, Rs. 800 in total. It was a very hard place, it was a place of insufficiency, it was a place of poverty, it was a place of hunger, with that Rs. 800 we had to manage the whole week, until someone decides to pay. And both of us really crashed, and we didn't know what to do about it. We didn't want to tell our family because it would look as if we failed in our business. Thankfully, when we went into prayer, Dush and I decided we need to talk to somebody and get some sort of advice. And thankfully, the community is blessed with so many resource persons and we spoke to one of our dear beloved aunts from the CRL and   we told her, "Look, we're going through this. What could be the reason?" And she wasn't surprised at all because she looked at us and said, "You all are not accountable, not keeping accounts, not using a software, just drawing out of the business whenever you feel like, and you're acting like you're freelancers and not really business owners." And she guided us to install accounting software, she taught us to do a balance sheet and to be more accountable and manage our finances better, and actually here we are 9 years after, properly running our business. So that pain, that place of poverty, that place of hunger that we went through was the turning point because we really learnt something. That is why we are where we are today because if not, I'm sure we would have crashed much more earlier. That is one kind of pain. Certain kinds of pain, struggles we go through, we learn a lot out of it. But there is another kind of pain also. That is the kind of pain we don't want to digest, the kind of pain that is difficult, when we go through unjust. When we come across tragedy. When we become the victims of selfishness of other people. When we are subject to abuse. These are little more difficult pain or scenarios to deal with. It is so important, that we come to the Lord, even when we are going through this type of pain. I can only talk for myself. Why God allows this, let's us go through this, I still don't have the answer. I don't think I'll ever have the answer because these actually ruin life, when people go through abuse it upsets them, it ruins their life, it even robs them a chance of living a normal, balanced life. But one thing I know, even when we are going through that level of excruciating pain, if we come to the Lord, He will make it for good. Some people think going through abuse is hard, but I can tell you dealing with it, is 100 times, even a million times, harder. To have to live with that pain, to go through that on a daily basis, to wake up every morning to that sense of betrayal, that sense of neglect, that sense of loneliness is really hard. And I suppose that is why a lot of people just put it under the carpet and move on with life because it is difficult to come to God with that level of pain. To patiently wait for Him to hear. But I can tell you, with my own personal experience, that is the best way forward. It took me 9 to 10 years to really deal with what I went through as a child. And let me tell you, more than once I wanted to just run away, chuck it all, forget it God, I don't have the strength or desire to deal with this anymore, I don't know why you put me through this, I don't see a purpose because it's cruel for someone to even say, "God wanted this to happen to you." It's cruel, you can't say that. Because God didn't want that to happen. Some selfish person, or people wanted that to happen. It's not fair, it's unfair in every sense of the word. And time and time again I wanted to withdraw and I didn't just want to deal with it with Lord. But over the past 9, 10 years, I just fought. Thank God for the grace of God. I fought with anxiety, I fought with depression, I fought with loneliness in order to overcome from this pain that I was going through. Because every morning when I woke up, I wake up with this sense of pain that was so overwhelming, and it went with me wherever I went. It shadowed me wherever I went, and every word I said, in everything I do, there would be a reflection of my pain. When I spoke to someone they would be able to sense my pain. And I thought, "Enough is enough. I was a victim and I am not going to make someone else a victim of my actions." When God opened that reality in my life, and I thought, "Okay God, I'm going to come to You. I don't know how You are going to do this, but let's do this." I hope it doesn't take as long as 9 or 10 years, I hope it would be instantaneous like Maggi noodles and you're like, okay, you're done, you're healed. It took a lot of heart ache, it took a lot of people, I hurt a lot of people in the process, but God did what He had to do. In my battles with anxiety, depression, loneliness and addiction, God fought with me. He didn't let me fight any of that alone. In the darkest moments of my life, when the entire world was shut down and it was just   me and the ceiling, God was there. He held my hand and said, "No Kaush, one more day, push it for one more day, we'll get through this" and I just took it one day at a time. There were days when I was overwhelmingly sad, and nights were longer than days, but God just held my hand and said, "No Kaush, just make it to one more sunrise." And here I am today. I can tell you, what the Lord did over the last so many years was completely worth it. Was it painful? Yes. Was hard to digest? 100% yes. If there was a choice would I have taken an easier way out? Absolutely yes. But today, I'm so happy that God did what He had to do. When I exposed myself to the Lord, when I allowed Him to put that finger on that place I was hurting the most, He cured me. The beautiful thing happens afterwards. If anyone knows me well, they'll know I am the person who laughs for the silliest joke. I'll be the first one who packs up with laughter in the room and give the loudest laugh. You know why God has put that joy in my heart that I jump at every opportunity to laugh and spread joy? At least half of my life, or three quarter of my life, was consumed by this sense of overwhelming sadness that now that God has healed me, I just don't want any of that. I just want more of God's joy and more of God's love. The beautiful thing is, when God deals with that hurtful place in your life, if you bring it to Him, when God deals with that difficult place in your life, if you're ready to open up to Him, when God deals with your vulnerabilities, all the feelings of anger and fear and frustration you have been going through for years, what He does is, He transforms you internally. In a crazy way, you start radiating God's healing power. And you start attracting people who are in need of that healing. I've come across so many people who have just walked into my life, who are hungering for that healing touch from God. And it just takes a word, it just takes a meal, a cup of coffee, to sit down with them and tell them how great our God is. So this Lent, I want you to take that decision. Today, enough with the hiding, with the cover-up. If you're hurt you're hurt, there is no point in showing off, putting on a show. Just channel it to the right place, turn to God with your pain, don't shift evil, like Joseph's brothers. Don't shift evil like the tenants. Shift grace, and the only way you can do that, is to open up to God. Trials are like an Uber driver. I travel in Uber on a daily basis, and this comparison is spot on. Because on some days I get really good drivers, they don't say a word, they pick me up and go and drop me in the destination. Some days I get these talkative ones who go on and go on, and they talk about politics and everything and then by the time you reach your destination, you're already tired. Then some days you get really unruly people, who drive so recklessly and they just drive all about, but they still end up taking you to the destination. Some days there are really good drivers who are patient, who are kind to fellow commuters. But the point is, no matter what kind my Uber driver is, he still takes me to my next destination. So no matter what your pain is, I don't want to size it saying it's a small pain or a big pain, like I said pain is so personal, no matter what your pain is, if you channel it to God, if you come to God with it, it will take you to your next destination. We'll come into a time of worship, just ask the Lord, and I just pray for each and every one of you individually today -- Just ask the Lord, "Lord, help me deal with this pain. God help me to come to you and open up to you, and let your overflowing love come to me and heal me where I am hurting the most."

Senator Dush also acknowledges that many business owners will fall into the category of making $85,000 or more, meaning they will not get tax cuts and will in fact see a 46 percent increase for personal income taxes if they are considered high earners. Dush says a tax increase of that much would destroy small businesses at a time when they are already struggling.

Customer Retention In Financial Services One mistake that a lot of businesses make in the financial services sector today is focusing on acquiring new clients and giving little thought to retention. In fact, retaining customers can be your biggest and most significant weapon as a business. With that being said, in this blog post, we are going to take a look at customer retention in the financial services sector in further detail to help you get a better understanding. What is retention? Customer retention is a term that is used to describe the actions and activities that organizations and businesses take in order to lower the number of customer defections. The goal of implementing a customer retention program is to enable businesses to keep a hold of as many of their customers as possible. This typically involves using brand loyalty and customer loyalty initiatives, however, there are many different strategies to choose from depending on the nature of your company and your target consumer base. Do you know how many customers are leaving you or are just dormant? When focusing on customer retention strategies, one of the most difficult elements is determining whether or not a customer is going to leave your business or whether they are simply dormant. This is something you will need to figure out using data so you can make sure that you target your efforts effectively. What are the benefits of retention? There are a number of different benefits that are associated with focusing on customer retention. This includes the following... Increase in customer lifetime value Your brand will stand out from the crowd You are going to earn more word of mouth referrals It is cheaper than acquisition Loyal customers are more profitable Enables new product sales Customers will explore your brand You will get more feedback from engaged customers Loyal customers are more forgiving You will have more room to try out new things When you consider all of the advantages that have been discussed, you can see how focusing on customer retention is the only way to drive true value to your business. Getting a new customer can feel exciting and like an achievement. However, it’s not until you have converted that client into a loyal customer that you will really begin to feel the fruits of your labour. Importance of retention some food for thought. i) Business don’t make money in year 1 ii) Profit from customers start in year 2 onwards Therefore, you need to focus on retaining customers to truly drive profit. If you have a high turnover of clients, you’re not going to make much money. So there you have it; the importance of customer retention in the financial services sector. As you can see, holding onto customers is arguably even more important than finding new customers in the financial services sector. This is something you need to give a lot of consideration to when it comes to your marketing efforts today.
