The record came out of a year when his mother died, and his first grandson was born, and the contracting themes of grief and arrival appear throughout the work.We cover the album, his hearing loss, and why he walked away from commercial work to make the most personal music of his career.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Stephen Emmer's Asymmetrical Dot)—Dig Deeper• Artist and Albums:Visit Stephen Emmer at stephenemmer.com and follow him on Bluesky, Instagram, and YouTubePurchase Stephen Emmer's album Asymmetrical Dot from Bandcamp or Qobuz and listen on your streaming platform of choiceThe two previous installments in the 'introspective trilogy': Maison Melody (2020) and Mt.

­Over een maand wil FC Emmen graag 22 spelers onder contract hebben. Nu is dat de helft. Dus is het spitsuur voor de nieuwe directeur voetbalzaken Ernst Söllner. Na het gedwongen vertrek van technisch directeur Nico Haak en het opstappen van de voltallige raad van commissarissen, is ook het contract met clubicoon Michel van Oostrum als hoofdscout niet verlengd, laat Söllner weten. „Nee. Dat was geen fijn telefoontje om te plegen. Michel is toch mister Emmen. Die had ik liever met een leukere boodschap opgebeld'', vertelt de voormalig profvoetballer. Söllner vervolgt: „We zijn een club die op elke euro moet letten. Dus gaan we verder met mensen met een doorlopend contract, anders blijf je afkopen. Ik ben me bewust dat je in deze functie niet met iedereen vrienden kunt zijn en af en toe een harde boodschap moet brengen.'' ­ Aan de andere kant verwelkomt de club Björn Zwikker in de technische staf voor zijn stage tot trainer in het betaalde voetbal. „Dat is een zeer talentvolle trainer met frisse ideeën over het voetbal. We moeten altijd waken dat we een club worden van ouwe-jongens-krentenbrood.'' Voor de selectie geldt dat FC Emmen meer wil doen met minder centen. Het spelersbudget is met 2,2 miljoen euro tonnen lager dan vorig seizoen. Omdat de club niet wil inboeten op kwaliteit op het veld, moet de groep flink inkrimpen. „We willen naar maximaal 22 spelers. Dat waren er dik dertig'', stelt Söllner. Gijs Bolk is daar straks niet meer bij. De talentvolle verdediger vertrekt zo goed als zeker naar De Graafschap. „We hebben er alles aan gedaan om hem te behouden. We hebben zelfs zijn ouders thuis uitgenodigd en zijn samen uit eten geweest. We hebben ons verhaal verteld en voor Emmer-bergrippen een goede aanbieding gedaan. Dat vond de kamp Bolk ook. Als ze dan alsnog voor een prachtige club als De Graafschap kiezen dan gaan we straks gewoon goed uit elkaar.'' ­ Ook het behouden van doelman Luca Unbehaun lijkt een schier onmogelijke klus. „Unbehaun heeft van ons een maximale aanbieding gekregen. Natuurlijk wil hij nog eens een stap omhoog maken, maar als hij bijtekent dan speelt hij gewoon iedere week in de schijnwerpers.'' Goed nieuws is er ondertussen voor de fans van Freddy Quispel. De Emmenaar blijft gewoon bij zijn club, zo laat Söllner doorschemeren. De voetbaldirecteur blikt ook terug op het pijnlijke vertrek van technisch directeur Nico Haak en waarom hij als bestuurslid zelf diens takenpakket grotendeels overnam. „We wilden Nico Haak graag behouden als hoofd voetbalontwikkeling en dat ik dan de plek in de directie overnam. Nico heeft veel verstand van voetbal, maar ik denk dat ik zakelijke beslissingen beter kan nemen. We kwamen er helaas niet uit met elkaar en raakten in conflict.'' ­ Na een lange praatsessie hebben directie en de huidige technische staf onder leiding van hoofdtrainer Menno van Dam inmiddels de samenwerking voor volgend seizoen beklonken. „We willen ook geen trainerskerkhof zijn in Emmen. Er was een roep om het vertrek van Menno van Dam, maar we wilden geen derde trainer in korte tijd ontslaan. Hij is als jonge coach bij ons gekomen en we laten hem nu zeker niet verzuipen.'' Aan de tafel van Radio Meerdijk wordt verder besproken wie van het dozijn aan proefspelers in de smaak valt en waarom aan sommige voetballers wordt gevraagd zich te specialiseren op een andere positie. Verder wordt duidelijk met welke oud bekenden gesproken wordt voor een nieuwe rol bij FC Emmen. ­ * Vragen voor in de podcast? Mail naar: william.pomp@dvhn.nl * FC Emmen op de voet volgen?

Congressman Tom Emmer joins Sid live in-studio to touch upon Sid's frustration about not being invited yet to next week's State of the Union speech in Washington, D.C. before he speaks on the backlash over comments that the Super Bowl halftime show should be in English or at least provide translations, arguing the NFL's choices were driven by money and deals, including with Amazon, and expressing a preference for more familiar music. Emmer describes being in New York for a wedding and doing media rounds on Presidents' Day, praises several New York Republicans as hardworking, and harshly criticizes Democratic members such as Nadler, Raskin, and Swalwell. Sid and Tom talk about State of the Union decorum, including Democrats' shirts and paddles, the possibility of enforcing rules more strictly. The conversation then shifts to a looming DHS funding standoff and potential impacts on TSA workers, while Emmer argues Democrats are disconnected from voters on border security, cites large numbers of people pulled from Minneapolis and thousands of migrant children allegedly lost by the Biden administration, and says Democrats broke promises on a bipartisan bill that already included reforms and body-camera funding, leaving them with no message beyond opposition to Trump.

The formal indictment states that Lin and his accomplices allegedly facilitated the transfer of tens of millions of dollars obtained from the sale of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine in the United States back to Mexico, through an opaque financial chain involving cash purchases of electronic goods and shipments to Asian countries. According to the case filed in federal court in Cincinnati, between 2022 and 2024, Mexican drug-trafficking groups hired this organization to handle the cash generated from drug sales within U.S. territory. The procedure described includes handing over large amounts of physical cash to third parties, who used the funds to buy electronic products. Once the receipt of these goods was confirmed, payment was sent to Mexico through mirror transactions, after deducting a commission. Partial records indicate that at least $27.4 million in cash was moved through this network. The indictment, which includes charges of conspiracy to launder money and concealment of funds, indicates that the alleged operator could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted by a federal court.

He talks openly about building a permanent coordination hub to challenge Orban's rule. This was an EU migration and security official, with deep access and zero plausible deniability, not just some street activist. The early effort flopped. The party he helped build face-planted electorally. But the playbook didn't disappear. It just waited. Fast forward and suddenly a brand-new figure, Peter Magyar, drops out of nowhere, gets wall-to-wall Western media love, runs a campaign with serious money and polish, keeps his ideology vague, stays aggressively pro-EU, and rockets to the top of the polls. No clear funding trail. No real policy spine. But momentum. The uncomfortable part for Brussels isn't whether Orban is good or bad. It's that this confirms what his supporters have said for years: The EU doesn't just pressure governments. It actively works around them when they won't comply. Rule of law language on the surface.

A few days in, Iran shut down the Internet in the entire country. For the first time since 2019, a nationwide blackout was imposed, disrupting phone networks and landline telephones. Starlink became the sole web outlet for protesters to get informed, communicate, and share the images of the momentous developments with the world. It didn't take long for the brutal Iranian regime to crack down on Starlink terminals, arrest ‘terrorist' users, and deploy military-grade jammers to impede the functioning of the service.

That is demographic manipulation. When law enforcement records misclassify race and suppress immigration status, the downstream effect is predictable. Crime statistics are distorted. Public understanding is corrupted. Accountability disappears. Police departments know exactly why this is done. Federal crime data is aggregated by race. When offenders who are foreign nationals are reclassified into domestic racial categories, the real source patterns are buried. The public is then fed a sanitized dataset that supports preselected talking points. This is not about one case. It is about how the books are cooked so trends can never be honestly discussed. News outlets compound the deception. They repeat the arrest sheet verbatim, never asking why immigration status is missing, never questioning implausible physical descriptors, never pressing the department for clarification. The omission is the story, and they deliberately ignore it. That is not journalism. That is information control. If the individual were a citizen, the records would say so. If the individual were legally present, that status would be highlighted immediately. Silence only appears when the truth is politically inconvenient. That silence protects institutions, not victims. Two teenagers are dead, and the system's first instinct was not transparency, but insulation. This is exactly why public trust is collapsing. People are not stupid. They can see when reality does not match the paperwork. When law enforcement manipulates categories and media outlets run interference, the public correctly concludes that the truth is being managed rather than reported. The question is simple. If the data were honest, why hide it. If the classification were accurate, why does it defy common sense. If transparency mattered, why was immigration status erased. This is not incompetence. It is intent. https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/2011214982881386564?s=20  Solomon & Emmer on his podcast today.

But there's more heavy lifting to be done for cleaner elections. That's why Judicial Watch just sued the state of Oregon to force it to finally clean up its voting rolls, which are a mess.

For Hour 3 of the show Jon is joined by Tom Emmer, Jim O'Neil, and Liz Collin.

In this episode, we sit down with House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who sheds light on the alarming federal fraud case unfolding in Minnesota, which may be one of the largest in U.S. history. Emmer discusses the implications of systemic fraud and the alleged inaction of Democratic leaders, including Governor Tim Walz, who he claims ignored whistleblower reports and retaliated against those who spoke out.We delve into the staggering estimates of fraud, with figures reaching as high as $9 billion, and the troubling connections to the Somali community. Emmer emphasizes that calling out crime is not racist, as he addresses the significant number of convictions related to fraud cases within this community. He also highlights the ongoing issues with Medicaid and housing fraud perpetrated under the current administration.The conversation takes a serious turn as we explore the implications of cash couriers operating out of Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, moving large sums of money overseas, potentially linked to Al Shabaab. Emmer calls for accountability and thorough investigations into these financial transactions, urging that those who exploit the system should face severe consequences, including deportation.Finally, we touch on the recent decision to end temporary protected status for Somali immigrants, with Emmer advocating for stricter immigration policies to deter fraud and protect American citizens. This episode is a powerful reminder of the challenges facing Minnesota and the urgent need for reform.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
