A recent case involving the suspension of an 8(a) contractor is raising questions about how agencies document their decisions. An SBA appeals judge sent the case back, saying the record didn't meet even basic requirements. So the issue, for now, isn't whether the agency was right, it's whether it showed its work clearly enough to justify the action. Zach Prince, partner at Haynes Boone, joins me now to talk through what happened.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Podcast: Light on Life Season Thirteen Episode Twenty-Three.

Building a lease agreement is one thing. Enforcing it is where many landlords get uncomfortable. In this episode, Wayne and Gabby answer landlord and tenant questions about enforcing lease agreements, dealing with tenant disputes, and understanding the process when a tenancy starts going sideways. They discuss how Alberta's Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service works, what happens if a tenant files a claim against a landlord, and what evidence landlords should prepare when responding to a dispute. Wayne and Gabby also talk about what happens when a tenant does not move out at the end of a fixed-term lease, why landlords need to follow the legal process, and why documentation matters so much. They also cover one of the most common landlord frustrations: tenants trying to use their security deposit as last month's rent. This episode is a practical conversation about running your rental property like a real business. It covers lease enforcement, documentation, tenant screening, RTDRS claims, security deposits, eviction notices, and the systems landlords need to reduce risk. If you own rental properties or are planning to become a landlord, this episode will help you understand how to enforce your lease with confidence, professionalism, and proper documentation. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why building a lease agreement is only the first step Why enforcing the lease is where landlords need confidence How to be firm without being unreasonable Why landlords should understand the Residential Tenancies Act What the RTDRS is and how it works in Alberta What happens when a tenant files a claim against a landlord Why documentation matters in every landlord and tenant dispute How to prepare evidence for an RTDRS hearing Why timelines, written communication, and records are so important What happens if a tenant does not move out at the end of a fixed-term lease Why landlords cannot physically remove tenants themselves When a landlord may need an order and a bailiff Why tenants technically cannot use the security deposit as last month's rent Why this situation is still hard to prevent in real life Why tenant screening matters long before problems happen Why strong systems protect your rental property business Why Wayne believes many landlord problems come from not knowing the rules Why Alberta remains one of the strongest provinces for landlords and investors Upcoming Events Edmonton Garden Suites 101 June 12, 2026 Edmonton, Alberta www.reimasters.ca/edmontongardensuites101 REI Masters Edmonton Real Estate Investing Bus Tour August 22, 2026 www.reimasters.ca/edmontonbustour About Your Hosts Wayne & Gabby Hillier are full-time real estate investors and real estate investing coaches based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Focusing on solutions, Bruce Bechtol argues in Rogue Allies that the U.S. must enforce existing sanctions to target North Korea's finances. North Korea utilizes sophisticated cyber laundering through Bitcoin and lax regulations in countries like the UAE to fund its operations. Containment strategies should include cyber warfare, vessel seizures, and selective strikes. Bechtol warns that Russia and China's open support for North Korea complicates these efforts. Ultimately, hitting the regime's "pocketbook" is the most effective non-kinetic means to disrupt their role as the logistics center for global revisionism. (4/4)JANUARY 1956

Right On Radio with Jeff (May 12) explores a wide-ranging mix of geopolitics, economics, faith and information warfare. In this episode Jeff breaks down a nine-minute video framing Trump's “Sun Tzu Q plan” as an economic and legal campaign to end central-bank debt slavery and restore sovereignty through tariffs, trustless ledgers, and transparency. He plays and analyzes clips from Donald Trump, highlights reporting from Greg Reese about the Arctic and the emerging multipolar world, and examines competing digital payment systems (XRP/XRPL, Hedera, CIPS, digital yuan, Russia's SPFS and payment rails) and what they mean for a new financial order.   Key topics include: the strategic use of tariffs (Section 232) and the historical shift away from tariffs to income tax after 1913; Trump-era staffing and legal maneuvers (including a discussion of Sean Spicer's lawsuit strategy and the reduction of federal employees); the political theater and private meetings (mentions of Mark Carney, Barack Obama, Alex Soros) and how elites are “reimagining” institutions; the Arctic as the new strategic center of trade and resource competition; and the Bank for International Settlements as a focal point for financial realignment.   Jeff connects these geopolitical and financial developments to a spiritual lens—arguing that political moves operate in parallel with spiritual realities—and plays a church clip (Cornerstone Chapel) on 2 Corinthians 12 (“the thorn in the flesh”) to illustrate how revelation, pride, and humility intersect with public events. He also offers practical cautions about investing during periods of disruption and teases Part Two of his Pyramid series.   This episode features: host Jeff, clips and references to Donald Trump, Greg Reese, Sean Spicer, Mark Carney, Barack Obama, Alex Soros, and a Cornerstone Chapel pastor; sponsor mentions include EMP Shield and Enforce pet supplements. Expect a brisk, opinionated intel-style briefing that stitches together policy, economics, legal strategy and scripture to help listeners “connect the dots” and decide how to live in the changing world.

Say what you mean?Washington hears that and goes, “Whoa whoa whoa… slow down, cowboy. That's at least a 9-year pilot program.”Trump treats it like a weekend project.And that's when the panic sets in.Because now the question isn't, “Can government work?” It's “Why didn't you make it work?”That's a dangerous question in D.C. That's the kind of question that gets people… very interested in changing the subject.And wow… do they change the subject.We've got real issues stacking up like unread emails:Cities where crime isn't a statistic, it's a survival skill. Billions floating around like Monopoly money with no owner. Scandals popping up like popcorn in a microwave nobody's watching.And right when you think, “Hey, maybe we should focus on that…”BAM.New headline. New outrage. New reason to stop paying attention to anything measurable.It's like the country's running on Windows 95… and every time Trump opens a useful program, somebody hits CTRL-ALT-DEL on the entire conversation.And Trump even joked about it—basically said, “If I were terrible at my job, I'd probably be safer.”That line right there?

By Doug Green “AI is ready to enforce decisions at scale—but it's not ready to make them.” In a recent Telecom Reseller podcast, I spoke with Chris Bonavita, Vice President of Strategy and Technology Adoption at GTT Communications, about one of the most important—and often misunderstood—shifts happening in AI-driven cybersecurity. As enterprises move aggressively toward autonomous AI inside the Security Operations Center (SOC), Bonavita argues the industry is getting ahead of itself. The problem isn't whether AI is powerful—it clearly is. The problem is where that power is being applied. Today's AI is exceptionally good at ingesting massive volumes of data, identifying patterns, detecting anomalies, and executing defined tasks at machine speed. In the SOC, that translates into real, measurable value. AI is already improving threat detection, accelerating response times, and reducing the burden of repetitive operational work. But there is a line—and according to Bonavita, the industry is starting to cross it too quickly. AI, he explains, does not understand intent. It does not understand business context. And it cannot reliably distinguish between what is technically possible and what is operationally appropriate. That distinction matters in cybersecurity, where decisions carry financial, operational, and reputational consequences. This is where the concept of “AI should enforce, not decide” becomes critical. In this model, humans define policy, intent, and acceptable risk. AI then executes—consistently, continuously, and at scale. It becomes the enforcement engine, not the decision-maker. When that boundary is ignored, new risks begin to emerge. Bonavita points to issues like policy drift, where AI systems begin to deviate from original intent over time, and agent conflict, where multiple automated systems act on overlapping or contradictory instructions. In a dynamic environment without clear human control, these issues can compound quickly, creating unintended disruptions or even new vulnerabilities. At the same time, the threat landscape is evolving just as rapidly. Attackers are now using AI to develop threats faster, automate reconnaissance, and adapt in real time. Defenders are responding with AI-driven detection and remediation. The result is an environment where both sides are operating at machine speed—forcing organizations to rethink how security decisions are made and executed. Compounding the challenge is the disappearance of the traditional network perimeter. Data, users, and applications now exist everywhere, and access is no longer confined to a controlled environment. In this perimeter-less world, both threats and defenses are distributed—and AI is embedded across both. For enterprises, the takeaway is not to slow down AI adoption—but to rethink how it is deployed. The goal is not autonomy. The goal is scale with control. That means building architectures where human intent remains central, and AI is used to enforce that intent across increasingly complex environments. It also aligns closely with GTT's broader strategy, including its Envision platform and SASE-based approach to networking and security, where orchestration and policy consistency are foundational. Looking ahead, the question is not whether AI will play a central role in cybersecurity—it already does. The real question is whether organizations can maintain control as AI capabilities continue to expand. As this conversation makes clear, the most effective model may not be AI replacing human decision-making—but human-directed AI operating at a speed and scale no human team could match.

Send us Fan MailSalon owners make decisions every day.But not all decisions actually move the business forward.In this episode, we break down the types of decisions that truly create change inside a salon, from having hard conversations and defining standards to building systems and thinking long-term.We also share real examples from our own salon, including how small gaps in leadership can lead to bigger problems over time, and why avoiding certain decisions often creates more stress, not less.This isn't a “how-to” episode. It's a conversation about what actually works, based on real experience, the mistakes we've made, the lessons we've learned, and the decisions that have made the biggest difference.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.And that starts with making decisions that actually matter.KEY TAKEAWAYSNot all decisions create meaningful change in a salon. Avoiding hard conversations leads to bigger problems over time. Hiring out of desperation often damages culture and morale. Standards must be clearly defined to be followed. Consistency from leadership creates consistency in the team. Systems reduce chaos and decision fatigue. Short-term thinking limits long-term growth. Leadership requires clarity, not just being “nice.” Protecting your culture is part of your responsibility as an owner. Small decisions compound into major business outcomes.TIME STAMPS00:00 — Intro + weather + episode setup 02:00 — Jen's opening take: real education vs being “too busy” 05:00 — Todd's opening take: staff meetings + expectations 07:30 — Why most decisions don't create real change 09:00 — Decision 1: Stop avoiding hard conversations 13:00 — How avoiding conversations creates bigger problems 15:00 — Decision 2: Stop hiring out of desperation 18:00 — Protecting your culture and existing team 20:00 — Decision 3: Define your standards clearly 23:00 — Why vague expectations cause frustration 24:30 — Decision 4: Enforce standards consistently 26:00 — Decision 5: Build systems (stop winging it) 29:00 — Client flow, structure, and consistency 30:00 — Decision 6: Think long-term 33:00 — Short-term stress vs long-term growth 35:00 — Decision 7: Lead clearly, not just nicely 37:30 — Final thoughts + where to startLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

'This is kind of a crazy way for the US to go about this,' says The Bulwark's Andrew Egger about the US blocking the Strait of Hormuz. 'The us has no right to block the strait of Hormuz, full stop,' says Egger as he joins Chris and Amy for his weekly visit, pointing out that is an international waterway. Egger also comments on the attacks from Pres Donald Trump on Pope Leo. 'The Pope has not actively attacked Donald Trump,' says Egger, 'the Pope has called for peace.'

What do California's latest privacy settlements tell us about where enforcement is headed next? In this episode, we unpack the California Privacy Protection Agency's newest CCPA actions against PlayOn Sports and Ford, which reinforce a clear message: opt-out rights must be easy to exercise, free of unnecessary friction, and fully effective in practice—from rejecting cookie banners with an “accept all” option but no equally simple “decline all” choice to prohibiting identity verification steps that can delay or derail opt-out requests. As the CPPA continues to zero in on dark patterns, opt-out preference signals, and real-world functionality, companies should be paying close attention to how their privacy choices are designed, disclosed, and implemented.

For years, the public was told that transgender policy in women's sports and prison housing was settled science. Anyone who objected was smeared, silenced, or pushed out. Now the same institutions are quietly changing the rules — without apology, without accountability, and without acknowledging the women who paid the price.In this episode, Chad Law breaks down the reversal in elite women's competition, the California prison policy disaster, the DOJ investigation, and the broader pattern behind all of it: institutions redefine reality, enforce it aggressively, hurt real people, then quietly retreat when reality catches up.This is not just about one issue. It's about what happens when ideology gets enforced as truth — and what it costs the people at the bottom.Call or text the show: 252-CHAD-LAW252-242-352900:00 The Headline That Changed Everything01:15 Quiet Reversal, Zero Apology03:04 Host Intro03:42 Episode Theme05:44 “Settled Science” Was Enforcement09:40 What Happened to the Truth-Tellers12:00 Why the Rules Are Changing16:15 Female Athletes Paid the Price18:26 Scholarships, Records, and Silence22:09 Feminism's Betrayal24:04 California's Prison Policy Disaster26:22 Pregnancy, Rape Charges, and Pronoun Absurdity30:16 State Warnings Ignored32:00 DOJ Steps In35:22 The Pattern35:53 Redefine, Enforce, Damage, Reverse39:44 This Keeps Happening Everywhere42:02 Punishing the People Who Were Right44:08 Reality Doesn't Bend46:15 The Cost to Real Women48:00 No Accountability50:00 Final Close#ChadLaw #CommonSenseWithChadLaw #TrannyTuesday #WomensSports #TransgenderAthletes #CaliforniaPolitics #PrisonPolicy #CultureWar #ConservativePodcast #PoliticalCommentary

Mike Johnson, Ali Mac, and Beau Morgan react to the NCAA Football Oversight Committee coalescing around several concepts related to the college football calendar and transfers, including a proposal to impose stiff penalties on schools that accept transfers outside of the portal window. Those penalties would include a multi-million-dollar fine, multi-game suspensions for head coaches and the loss of roster spots. Mike, Beau, and Ali explain why they think the NCAA fining coaches for transfer portal violations would be hard to enforce.

An expunged record at the state level may not be enough to qualify for military service. A federal appeals court says the service branches can enforce stricter enlistment standards than those set by the Defense Department, and don't have to honor state expungements when evaluating potential recruits. Federal News Network's Anastasia Obis spoke to Ira Rushing, associate with Tully Rinckey PLLC, about how the court's decision could impact current service members or potential recruits.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: "Should licensed broadcast radio and television stations have to give equal time to competing political candidates?" A Stephen Colbert interview with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico has reignited debate over the FCC's nearly century-old equal time rule. After CBS lawyers raised concerns about triggering the regulation, Colbert cried foul — and the controversy exploded online. Michael breaks down what the rule actually says, how it differs from the Fairness Doctrine, and whether “spectrum scarcity” still justifies government oversight in today's media landscape. Is this selective enforcement, political pressure, or simply the law being applied? And in an era of unlimited media choices, should balanced coverage be the government's job — or ours?

I am confident that Brett has the expertise to QUICKLY fix the long history of issues at the BLS on behalf of the American People. Brett Matsumoto is a Brilliant, Reputable, and Trusted Economist who will restore GREATNESS to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Congratulations Brett! https://twitter.com/USTradeRep/status/2017747044350280104?s=20      extensive research in the field of Economics and Finance. Kevin issued an Independent Report to the Bank of England proposing reforms in the conduct of Monetary Policy in the United Kingdom. Parliament adopted the Report’s recommendations. Kevin Warsh became the youngest Fed Governor, ever, at 35, and served as a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from 2006 until 2011, as the Federal Reserve’s Representative to the Group of Twenty (G-20), and as the Board’s Emissary to the Emerging and Advanced Economies in Asia. In addition, he was Administrative Governor, managing and overseeing the Board’s operations, personnel, and financial performance. Prior to his appointment to the Board, from 2002 until 2006, Kevin served as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and Executive Secretary of the White House National Economic Council. Previously, Kevin was a member of the Mergers & Acquisitions Department at Morgan Stanley & Co., in New York, serving as Vice President and Executive Director. I have known Kevin for a long period of time, and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best. On top of everything else, he is “central casting,” and he will never let you down. Congratulations Kevin! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP Warsh has compared Bitcoin favorably to gold as a “sustainable store of value,” indicating a positive view of gold’s role in the financial system.  However, his nomination led to sharp declines in gold and silver prices (e.g., silver fell up to 26% in one day), as markets interpreted him as an inflation hawk who might pursue tighter monetary policy, reducing the appeal of precious metals as inflation hedges.  This reaction stemmed from fears of less dovish Fed actions, which had previously driven gold’s rally amid uncertainty over Fed independence.  Warsh’s broader hawkish stance on inflation aligns with “hard money” principles that could indirectly support gold, but his emphasis on shrinking the Fed’s balance sheet and normalizing policy suggests he prioritizes institutional reform over promoting gold as a standard. Is Kevin Warsh Pro-Sound Money?Yes, Warsh is a strong advocate for sound money principles, emphasizing disciplined, anti-inflationary monetary policy. He views inflation as a “monetary phenomenon” and “a choice” driven by excessive government printing and spending.  As a former Fed Governor, he was often the most hawkish voice, opposing aggressive rate cuts during crises due to inflation risks.  He criticizes the Fed’s “mission creep,” oversized balance sheet, and reliance on quantitative easing (QE), arguing these enable fiscal irresponsibility and distort markets. Warsh calls for “regime change” at the Fed, shifting away from Keynesian models toward rules-based policy that incorporates money supply considerations and reduces interventionism. He stresses credibility, clear rules, and accountability to maintain sound money.   In a 2025 Hoover Institution paper, he advocated scrutinizing monetary policy under a framework that could include constitutional measures for prosperity and idea diffusion. Warsh has been vocal against Powell’s leadership, echoing Trump’s frustrations with high interest rates and calling for “regime change” at the Fed. He has moderated his hawkish stance to support lower rates, arguing AI-driven productivity allows growth without inflation. Credibility and Market Reassurance: Warsh is seen as a “traditional” pick with Fed experience, reassuring investors amid fears of a loyalist appointment that could undermine independence. Trump highlighted Warsh’s ability to deliver lower rates and growth, though some economists note Warsh’s independence could lead to tensions if he prioritizes data over demands. Analysts suggest the pick balances Trump’s desire for cuts with a credible figure.

The administration has filed suit against an illegal migrant living in Virginia, and is seeking $941,114 plus interest, alleging that Marta Alicia Ramirez Veliz has remained in the country despite being told her request for admittance was rejected by a Justice Department appeals panel in 2022, Politico reported. The filing notes that Veliz has refused to pay a $998 per-day fine for the 943 days since she was told to return to her home country, and reveals that Immigration and Customs Enforcement sent her an official notice of her total fine in April. The lawsuit describes Veliz as “an individual and noncitizen residing in Chesterfield County, Virginia,” and does not identify her nationality. source: breitbart.com https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2017404446230323358?s=20 BREAKING: Disturbing photos in the Epstein files appear to show Prince Andrew on all fours over a woman lying on the ground. https://twitter.com/HansMahncke/status/2017792445979791448?s=20   for everyone, or is connected through some opaque web of professional and personal ties. A supposedly random figure from the squalor of Uganda rises all the way to mayor of New York, only for it to later emerge that his mother is deeply embedded in elite circles. The same pattern shows up again and again. James Comey's daughter just happened to be a lead federal prosecutor on the Epstein case. The judge who presided over the trial of Hillary Clinton's lawyer, the one who helped seed the Russiagate hoax, is married to Lisa Page's lawyer. Page, of course, was involved with Peter Strzok, who is one of the central figures in that same hoax. And to complete the circle, Merrick Garland officiated their wedding. None of this requires conspiracy theories. It requires only acknowledging how small, closed, and self-protecting these elite worlds are. Fix elite incestuousness, and a lot of other problems will disappear on their own. https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2017734119334232544?s=20 https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2017474860700877105?s=20   https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/2017762585878069630?s=20 https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2017694490614763591?s=20   written from Nikolic's perspective. At the time, Nikolic was Gates's top scientific investment advisor. The emails suggest Gates was firing Nikolic in response to marital problems with Melinda. In June 2013, Nikolic emailed Gates and asked if he wanted to go to the “legendary Crazy Horse in Paris” an erotic show, while they were in France. Gates declined, saying he would be too tired and didn't want to take the risk, adding that he might have done it when he was younger. On July 1, 2013, Gates emailed Nikolic: “We should meet on Wednesday to discuss your job. There is going to have to be a transition. I feel very bad about it but I don’t see a way around it.” Nikolic shared these emails with Epstein. Epstein later commented on the Paris erotic show email, writing: “This is pretty bad and might have been the cause of her bad mail in paris.”—apparently referring to Melinda. Nikolic appeared unhappy about being fired while potentially being used as a scapegoat, and he sought greater financial compensation as he prepared to leave and launch his own investment fund. In these emails, Epstein—writing as Nikolic—references alleged knowledge of Gates's extramarital affairs, STDs allegedly contracted from Russian women, and drug use as justification for why Nikolic deserved more money. Taken together, it appears Jeffrey Epstein was drafting or shaping a message for Boris Nikolic that effectively functioned as blackmail, pressuring Bill Gates for financial compensation. It remains unclear whether Nikolic ultimately sent these messages to Gates. However, later emails suggest Gates helped Nikolic launch his next investment fund and maintained a working relationship with him afterward. Epstein later listed Nikolic as a backup executor of his will, indicating the two were close confidants. https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/2017769194159210784?s=20 Billionaire Reid Hoffman, Who Bankrolled the E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit Against Trump, Is Featured Extensively in the New Epstein Files, Visiting Zorro Ranch and Pedophile Island  Hoffman went to the Island. A man who used his fortune to bankroll a lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump is now featured extensively in the new DOJ-released Jeffrey Epstein documents. The three and a half million documents from the latest – and apparently last – have been released by the DOJ following the approval of the House Resolution 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Documents from this massive release show the close ties between LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and the late pedophile. The pair ‘discusses visits to Epstein's infamous private island, his New Mexico ranch, and his New York apartment'. The New York Post reported: “'Reid will spend the night at 71st', according to one email from Hoffman's team included in the latest Justice Department dump of Epstein files, in reference to his Upper East Side townhouse.”   A 2014 memo states that Epstein hosted will have (venture capitalist) Joi Ito and Reid Hoffman on the infamous Zorro Ranch for a weekend. “An email Epstein penned to his assistant Saida Sapieva under the heading ‘Trip to the Island' states: ‘Reid will take a Virgin America Flight from SFO to Fort Lauderdale, departing at 8:20 am, landing at 4:40 pm'. In 2023, Hoffman visited to Epstein's former Caribbean private island, Little St. James, also known as ‘pedophile island', The Post previously reported.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2017106848311366064?s=20 https://twitter.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/2017789344103145647?s=20   https://twitter.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/2017772724093849926?s=20     https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2017930408650772495?s=20 https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/2017329765863039432?s=20       Israel had Trump by the balls so much that… Epstein was arrested?

Wolff, who's a 3rd rate writer, was conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to hurt me politically or otherwise…” Don't fall for all the clickbait doomers pushing the anti-Trump narratives. It's all bullshit. Lots of people not looking good though after today's release. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. To muddy the waters is an idiom that means to make a situation, issue, or discussion more confusing, unclear, or complicated—often deliberately. For example: “The politician’s vague statements only muddied the waters during the debate.” It originates from the idea of stirring up mud in water, making it murky and hard to see through. DOGE Geopolitical War/Peace Iran Hits Back At EU: Designates European Armies As ‘Terrorist Entities’ Iran is saying two can play at the West’s game: on Friday the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council blasted the EU’s decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a “terrorist organization,” warning that Europe’s own militaries would now be viewed through the same lens. “The European Union certainly knows that… the armies of countries that have participated in the European Union’s recent resolution against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are considered terrorist entities,” Ali Larijani wrote in a post on X. He added bluntly: “Therefore, the consequences of that shall be borne by the European countries that undertook such an action.” However, there’s probably nothing in the way of European military assets for the Islamic Republic to sanction, so this ‘action’ by Tehran will remain largely symbolic. Iran does have assets held in various places of Europe though. EU foreign ministers agreed on Thursday to formally classify the IRGC as a “terrorist organization” and urged member states to implement the designation without delay – after a few longtime holdouts flipped. source: zerohedge.com [DS] Agenda https://twitter.com/rhodeislander/status/2017361344018739231?s=20 https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2017331445195211254?s=20   at Place of Worship COUNT 2: 18 U.S.C. § 248(a) (b), § §2(a) – FACE Act: Injure, Intimidate, and Interfere with Exercise of Right of Religious Freedom at a Place of Worship.

Maxine Waters (D-CA) was in Los Angeles on Friday, inciting her radical left followers to riot against law enforcement before several were arrested.  Rioters were seen hurling objects at shielded federal agents who pushed back with pepper balls and nonlethal munitions. Via ABC 7: Anti-ICE Rioters Clash with Federal Agents and Local Police Outside Los Angeles ICE Facility Eventually, the rioters moved a dumpster toward the entrance of the ICE detention facility and set it ablaze. Over 100 Los Angeles Police officers reportedly responded in riot gear to quell the violence. Multiple videos circulating on social media show Maxine Waters at the front lines of the riot as leftists were told to disperse for surrounding the federal building, trespassing on federal property, and later assaulting federal officers. After pepper spray was deployed, Waters returned to the front of the riot with a mask and continued leading the insurrection. Waters was seen pulling up to the scene early in the day in a black SUV before stepping out to rally her troops, flailing her arms and leading chants of “ICE Out of LA.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/DOGEai_tx/status/2017736355665641700?s=20   Martinez's gang alliance pitch isn't just reckless; it's a calculated distraction from ICE's indiscriminate sweeps that tear families apart over paperwork.

TRUMP     Federal Government Property. There will be no spitting in the faces of our Officers, there will be no punching or kicking the headlights of our cars, and there will be no rock or brick throwing at our vehicles, or at our Patriot Warriors. If there is, those people will suffer an equal, or more, consequence. In the meantime, by copy of this Statement, I am informing Local Governments, as I did in Los Angeles when they were rioting at the end of the Biden Term, that you must protect your own State and Local Property. In addition, it is your obligation to also protect our Federal Property, Buildings, Parks, and everything else. We are there to protect Federal Property, only as a back up, in that it is Local and State Responsibility to do so. Last night in Eugene, Oregon, these criminals broke into a Federal Building, and did great damage, also scaring and harassing the hardworking employees. Local Police did nothing in order to stop it. We will not let that happen anymore! If Local Governments are unable to handle the Insurrectionists, Agitators, and Anarchists, we will immediately go to the location where such help is requested, and take care of the situation very easily and methodically, just as we did the Los Angeles Riots one year ago, where the Police Chief said that, “We couldn't have done it without the help of the Federal Government.” Therefore, to all complaining Local Governments, Governors, and Mayors, let us know when you are ready, and we will be there — But, before we do so, you must use the word, “PLEASE.” Remember that I stated, in the strongest of language, to BEWARE — ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely powerful and tough in the protection of our Federal Property. We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form. I was elected on a Policy of Border Control (which has now been perfected!), National Security, and LAW AND ORDER — That's what America wants, and that's what America is getting! Thank you for your attention to this matter.   PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP he will use DHS/ICE and, if necessary, the US MIL to protect federal property. It sounds like Trump knows something is coming. It sounds like the Dems want DHS/ICE to get caught up in policing these riots, hoping more of their deranged followers take it too far and get shot. Trump is instead going to hold and force local Democrat politicians to police their own riots, or agree to work with him. And if the Dems choose to not police these riots, they will force Trump to use the US MIL to suppress the chaos.  https://twitter.com/unseen1_unseen/status/2017334056292143173?s=20 https://twitter.com/StephenM/status/2017585812599087241?s=20   EXCLUSIVE: Atlanta Field Office Special Agent in Charge Allegedly Removed For Slow-Walking Election Fraud Investigation  Reports are emerging on social media that Paul Brown, the FBI Special Agent in Charge at the Atlanta Field Office, was “forced out of that job earlier this month,” according to MSNOW's Ken Dilanian.

You signed the divorce agreement. You thought it was over. But for many people, the real problems begin after the ink dries, when they discover that what they negotiated is not actually enforceable. In this essential episode of Divorce & Beyond, Susan Guthrie is joined by Kelly Lise Murray, a nationally recognized legal scholar whose work focuses on what happens when divorce settlements fall apart in real life, particularly in cases involving homes, mortgages, retirement assets, and complex property divisions.

COVID-19 AND THE EMPOWERMENT OF UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. Hanson asserts that the COVID-19 pandemic empowered unelected bureaucrats to enforce lockdowns that disproportionately crushed the middle class while enriching large corporations and the "Zoom class." He claims the scientific consensus was manipulated to protect China regarding the virus's origins and that early dissenters who questioned the efficacy of lockdowns and masks have since been vindicated. The response highlighted a deep divide between the "essential" working class and the insulated elites who managed the crisis from safety. NUMBER 8

Most men obsess over goals - the outcomes, the achievements, the shiny targets. But goals don't build men. Standards do. In today's Field Notes, Ryan breaks down why standards define your identity, how they outperform goals in every way, and why your life only changes when you elevate the rules you live by. He shares powerful examples, including recovering from a major injury, why men fail when they rely on motivation, and how to build standards that make you unshakable. Ryan also outlines a four-step framework to reset your identity, eliminate weak standards, and cement the behaviors that transform your life. If you want 2026 to be different, this episode explains exactly where to start. Key Takeaways Goals are emotionally dependent, standards are identity-based. Standards keep you anchored in the present - goals keep you trapped in the future. Goals collapse under adversity; standards strengthen you because they're non-negotiable. A man becomes powerful when he lives by a code with zero negotiation. Your life changes when your identity upgrades, not when your goals get bigger. Four-step framework to build standards that stick: -Identify the man you refuse to be. -Build non-negotiables in all four quadrants (Calibration, Connection, Condition, Contribution). -Build accountability. -Enforce consequences when you violate your own standards. 00:00 - Introduction   00:09 - Why Most Men Get Goals Backwards   01:20 - Goals Don't Build Men — Standards Do   02:33 - Examples of Weak vs. Strong Standards   04:34 - Ryan's Pec Tear: Standards in Adversity   06:24 - A Man Rises or Falls to His Standards   07:50 - Why Goals Fail Men   09:33 - How Goals Delay Action and Keep Men Stuck   11:23 - Goals Collapse Under Stress   12:57 - Standards Create Structure and Strength   14:38 - How Standards Transform a Man   16:10 - Standards Prevent Moral Drift   17:32 - Building Trust Through Consistency   18:57 - Standards Make Men Anti-Fragile   21:03 - Stop Waiting for "All Green Lights"   22:43 - Identity Before Action   23:28 - Fast Progress Comes From Identity Shifts   24:26 - The "Light Yourself on Fire" Lesson   25:14 - Reverse Engineering Goals Into Standards   25:57 - Step 1: Identify the Man You Refuse to Be   27:38 - Making Weak Behaviors Repulsive   29:31 - Step 2: Non-Negotiables in the Four Quadrants   31:32 - Step 3: Accountability   33:00 - Step 4: Enforce Consequences   33:42 - Final Challenge: Raise Your Standards   35:45 - Iron Council Promotion   36:33 - Preview Call Details   Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

1. European Union vs. Elon Musk and Free Speech The EU fined Elon Musk’s platform X (formerly Twitter) $140 million under the Digital Services Act (DSA) for failing to comply with transparency and moderation requirements. Ben and the Senator argue this is an attack on free speech, claiming the EU wants to impose censorship globally, including on American platforms. They highlight a letter from the EU in August 2024 urging Musk to censor content related to Donald Trump’s interview, framing it as an attempt to silence political discourse. The discussion emphasizes the contrast between U.S. First Amendment protections and Europe’s regulatory approach, warning of potential ripple effects on American free speech. There’s a call for the Trump administration to retaliate with sanctions against the EU, such as tariffs, to prevent foreign influence on U.S. speech norms. 2. Tucker Carlson’s Ties to Qatar Tucker Carlson’s visit to Qatar, where he interviewed the Prime Minister during the Doha Forum. Ben and Senator Cruz criticize Carlson for allegedly failing to ask tough questions about Qatar’s: Support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Funding of anti-American and anti-Semitic propaganda, including protests on U.S. campuses. Lobbying efforts in Washington and influence campaigns targeting conservative figures. Restrictive policies on women’s rights. They express concern over Carlson reportedly buying property in Qatar, framing it as aligning with a regime hostile to U.S. interests. The commentary portrays Carlson as sympathetic to authoritarian leaders (similar to his interviews with Putin and Iran’s president), undermining American values and Trump’s foreign policy.
