A new damning audit found that King County wasted millions in taxpayer dollars in fraud. // Border Czar Tom Homan says that immigration enforcement is going to increase in several sanctuary cities after Labor Day including Seattle. // The judge in the trial of former Island County GOP Chairman Tim Hazelo’s refusal to wear a mask spoke as if Hazelo was a murderer.

Six veteran law enforcement officers break their silence about encounters that challenged everything they thought they knew about the wilderness they patrol. From a deputy sheriff responding to escalating wildlife complaints at a remote Washington property, to a state trooper whose routine traffic stop on a foggy Kentucky highway became anything but ordinary, these firsthand accounts reveal what happens when those sworn to serve and protect come face to face with something that shouldn't exist.Travel across America through the eyes of the officers who documented the evidence that was later buried in bureaucracy. A park ranger's search and rescue operation in Northern California that uncovered more than missing hikers. A Michigan deputy's investigation into vandalism at abandoned copper mines that led deep underground. An Alaska state trooper's encounter on the desolate Dalton Highway where something survived impossible Arctic conditions. A Texas deputy's missing person case in the Big Thicket that ended with an inexplicable recovery.These aren't campfire tales or local legends.These are detailed accounts from trained observers who filed reports, collected evidence, and photographed proof of something living in the forgotten corners of America. Something that walks upright, demonstrates intelligence, and has learned to avoid human contact while dwelling in the spaces between our world and one far older.Their badges couldn't protect them from the truth. Now they share what really lurks in the backwoods of America.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

We begin today with a discussion of why the flag-burning issue is irrelevant at a time of economic collapse and shaky immigration policies. Trump has an opportunity to harness an auspicious economic message by getting rid of foreign worker and student visas, yet he is calling for more of the worst sorts of visas from the worst countries. We're joined by R.J. Hauman, founder of the National Immigration Center for Enforcement, for a state of the union on immigration enforcement. He expresses concern that too much of the DHS funding has gone toward “deportation theater” rather than creating a durable and efficient long-term deportation system. We also touch on the fact that lobbyists and special interests have a stranglehold on the administration and GOP and continue to push endless foreign workers at a time when it is so unpopular.  Learn more about your ad choices.

As usual, AI slop shownotes for anyone who wants to read them. Enjoy!In this packed episode of The Two Jacks, Jack the Insider and Hong Kong Jack cut through a huge week in politics, policy, and sport. They kick off with life on the bike lanes and the four‑day work week debate before diving into Australia's productivity roundtable: where progress might actually come from, why energy costs and regulation matter most, and how timid politics strangles reform. They spar over tax design, housing, stamp duty, and the red tape that inflates costs without improving quality.From there, the Jacks range across global flashpoints and US turbulence—Israel–Australia tit-for-tat visas, the Ukraine–Russia talks fallout, the limits of sanctions, and whether the West has the will for long wars. Stateside, they dissect rising US inflation pressures, Congress's stock-trading problem, and the “picking winners” trap in industrial policy. Locally, they tackle the Greens in Tasmania, crime perception vs data, and Australia's defense priorities in a drone-dominated future—before a big sports wrap: AFL finals implications from homophobic slur bans, NRL ladder-shaping clashes, cricket's farewell to Bob Simpson, the Wallabies' breakthrough at Ellis Park, and Sydney's Allianz Stadium turf debacle.Timestamped segments and takeaways 00:00:01 – Cold open, weather and bike lanesBanter on soggy Sydney/Melbourne and bike lane hazards.Takeaway: Urban transport design vs pedestrian safety—light opener that foreshadows policy tradeoffs.00:02:23 – Four‑day work week and productivity roundtableJack the Insider outlines ACTU's four‑day week ask; government quickly cools it.Hong Kong Jack: flexible, case-by-case four‑day arrangements can work well; blanket mandates don't.Notable quote (Hong Kong Jack): “It really is a case-by-case basis… it can be done—it just can't be done across the board.”00:04:26 – Housing, commuting, and productivity dragLong commutes as a hidden productivity killer; WFH rights expanding in Victoria but role-dependent.00:06:47 – AI regulation “light touch”Productivity Commission signals minimal regulation; Jack the Insider flags creator rights concerns.00:07:51 – Where productivity gains might come fromHong Kong Jack: “The two obvious areas to attack are regulation and energy costs.”00:08:17 – Energy transition, prices, and investmentJack the Insider: transition and decades of policy drift drove high prices; grid infrastructure is the bottleneck.Coal vs renewables economics; investment won't return to coal due to horizon risk.00:12:00 – Cutting “red tape”: harmonization and tax settingsFederation frictions; harmonise state regs; stamp duty singled out as a worst tax.Building codes ballooning costs while quality supervision lags.00:14:24 – Build quality crises and supervision gapsMascot/Zetland examples; spate of vacated towers; cheap builds, high prices.00:15:40 – Political capital, timid reform, and election calculusIs Albanese Labor's John Howard—few big-ticket reforms, focus on winning?Take reforms to an election (GST precedent), but reformers often punished at the polls.00:24:45 – Israel–Australia visa spatSimcha Rothman's visa withdrawn; Israel responds by revoking visas for Australians to the Palestinian Authority; both sides flex sovereignty.Notable quote (Hong Kong Jack): “This is just how it works.”00:27:28 – Failed asylum seekers backlog nearing 100kProcessing delays create perverse incentives; most rejected claimants retain work/study rights—encourages low‑merit claims.Enforcement throughput is minimal; backlog self‑feeds.00:32:07 – Tasmania: Greens hold line on stabilityGreens won't back Labor no-confidence; Premier continues; different cultures in Tas vs NSW Greens.00:36:32 – Vale Terence StampPersonal memories; Priscilla role noted; a prickly but great actor.00:38:00 – Ukraine–Russia: Alaska talks flop, semantics vs substanceOptics criticised; ceasefire vs peace semantics; limits of sanctions and Western will.Debate: Can Ukraine regain Crimea/Donbas?

Historical echoes (appeasement vs long war).00:49:05 – US inflation watch and tariffsProducer prices beat; risks of re‑acceleration; fuel prices helping headline but underlying pressures rising.Tariffs' pass-through to consumers; political messaging vs data; Fed unlikely to cut on these numbers.00:54:24 – Crime, stats vs street realityDC deployments; media narratives vs lived experience; class/education divide shapes perceptions.00:58:26 – Drones, defense, and future warfareUS behind China on cheap drone swarms (DJI dominance); implications for Australia: missiles, subs, strike aircraft, drones, and a modern surface fleet.01:00:42 – Congressional stock trading and transparencyBipartisan enrichment via informational access; “broadcast trades in real-time” proposal; ban vs radical transparency.01:04:27 – Picking winners: Intel, Kodak lessonsGovernment stakes risk political logic over market logic; Kodak/Motorola as cautionary tales.01:08:05 – Crime again: data declines vs spikes that matterAustralia's violent crime historically higher in 1920s/1980s; present-day spikes (aggravated burglaries) shape sentiment; good recidivism programs often lack political incentives.01:13:08 – AFL: homophobic slur sanctions and finals stakesRankine case likely to set a benchmark; prior bans (3–6 weeks) cited; consistency required.Notable quote (Jack the Insider): “It's a bad word… it needs to be removed from the game.”01:19:01 – AFL form lines and umpiringAdelaide/Geelong threats; Collingwood's midfield clearance issues; four‑umpire system not working.01:21:33 – NRL, cricket, rugbyNRL: Storm beat Panthers; big clashes ahead; ladder permutations.Cricket: Vale Bob Simpson; fielding revolution; ODI series in Cairns; roster chat (Maxwell retired from ODIs; case for Tim David).Wallabies: first Ellis Park win since 1963; O'Connor–Jorgensen try a “thing of beauty.”01:27:16 – Allianz Stadium turf failureDrainage massively under-spec; costly resurfacing; modern stadiums should drain ~600mm/hr; Allianz reported ~40mm/hr.01:31:07 – Vegas tourism pivot and gougePricing up, volume down; “milk everything” model—$50/day minibar “storage” anecdote; vibe no longer value-driven.01:32:53 – Corporate team bonding and Beef WellingtonHong Kong's “Feather and Bone”-style classes; culinary nostalgia to close the show.Sign-off: where to contact The Two Jacks (Condition Release Program email, Substack, X DMs open).Notable quotes to pull“The essence of progress to a better life for Australians is improved productivity.”“The two obvious areas to attack are regulation and energy costs.”“It can be done—it just can't be done across the board.”“Drones and robotics are the future of warfare.”“It's a bad word… it needs to be removed from the game.”

By Adam Turteltaub There's a lot new going on in healthcare enforcement, and, at the same, there's a lot that hasn't changed, reports Greg Demske (LinkedIn), partner at Goodwin Proctor and, formerly, Chief Counsel to the Inspector General at HHS. While the US Department of Justice has changed its priorities in areas such as anticorruption, if you look at what they and the Office of Inspector General (OIG) at Health and Human Services have been doing, he observes, the long-time bipartisan effort to stop fraud in healthcare is continuing. Yet, there are some significant changes.  At CMS a major shift has occurred when it comes to Medicare Advantage.  In the past there were audits of fifty plans a year, but now the goal is to audit all six hundred or so annually.  Backing that up is an expansion in the number of coders from 40 to 2000.  This has huge implications both for the plans and providers. Meantime the Department of Justice and HHS have created a False Claims Act Working group to further their efforts. Then, of course, there are qui tam claims, which hit a record high in 2024, and we have dispositions in the courts as well. So what should compliance teams do?  He recommends keeping a close eye on what the government is saying to ensure your program is staying ahead of the curve. And, of course, you should listen to this podcast to gain more of his insights from private practice and over 16 years at HHS.

Casey Flatt joins host George Halford to reflect on his decades of service to Putnam County—as a police deputy, the county's first School Resource Officer, and former Director of Juvenile Detention. Inspired by both his parents—his father in law enforcement and his mother in education—Casey began as an auxiliary officer before going full-time, thanks to encouragement from current Baxter Mayor Danny Holmes. After graduating from the Donaldson Police Academy in 1997, he became Putnam County's first SRO, serving at Cookeville High School in the wake of the Columbine tragedy. Casey shares powerful insights into the juvenile justice system, the importance of having local detention resources, and stories of youth who turned their lives around—highlighting the real-life impact of second chances and early intervention.

Often described as "the gold standard" for fiscal conservatism in Congress, the National Taxpayers Union rated him the best vote for taxpayers in the House four times, most recently in 2020. Citizens Against Government Waste recently named him as one of the perfect votes in the House fighting wasteful government spending. McClintock is a member of the House Judiciary Committee where he serves as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement and also serves on the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. He is a senior member of the House Natural Resources Committee where he serves on the Subcommittee on Federal Lands, which he chaired from 2015 to 2018, and on the Subcommittee on Water, Wildlife, and Fisheries, which he chaired from 2011 to 2015. The Congressman is also a member of the House Budget Committee and has proposed major fiscal reforms to curb unauthorized appropriations, control mandatory spending, balance the budget and protect the nation's credit. Prior to his election to Congress, McClintock served 22 years in the California legislature, where he became one of its most recognized conservative leaders. He twice received the Republican nomination for State Controller, narrowly missing election in 2002 by 23/100ths of one percent. He ran as the conservative standard bearer for Governor in California's historic recall election in 2003. - Addison McDowell proudly represents North Carolina's 6th Congressional District. Motivated by the tragic loss of his younger brother, Luke, to a fentanyl overdose, McDowell's top priority in Congress is to tackle the drug crisis and strengthen border security to protect families and communities from the dangers posed by illegal immigration. Addison currently serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the Natural Resources Committee, and the Budget Committee. Through these committee assignments, he is fighting to make sure the critical needs of North Carolina's Sixth District are met. Prior to Congress, Addison's public service included serving on staff for Congressman (now U.S. Senator) Ted Budd and Congressman Richard Hudson, where he spent each day helping constituents in need. Addison earned his Bachelors of Arts degree in Political Science and Government from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. During this time, he met his wife, Rachel, through YoungLife Ministry. A native of Lexington, North Carolina, Addison and Rachel now reside in Davie County, where they are raising their two daughters and are active in their local church.

What happens when cities expand into fire-prone landscapes—and what can we do about it? Jonah Susskind, Director of Climate Strategy at SWA, unpacks the overlooked realities of wildfire risk, why most modern cities are spreading in all the wrong directions, and how smart design can turn parks, neighborhoods, and planning policies into climate-resilient systems. From the “wildland-urban interface” to shelter-in-place strategies, this conversation blends environmental science, urban planning, and design thinking to illuminate the future of where and how we live.Subscribe to Most Podern on:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3zYvX2lRZOpHcZW41WGVrpApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-podern-podcast/id1725756164YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MostPodernInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/most.podernLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/most-podernLinks & ReferencesJonah Susskind - https://www.swagroup.com/principals/jonah-susskind/SWA Group - https://www.swagroup.com/Playbook for the Pyroscene (Free PDF) - https://www.swagroup.com/ideas/playbook-for-the-pyrosceneChapters0:00 – Intro: Urban Futures in a Burning World2:11 – What Is a Landscape Urbanist?5:24 – Why “Natural Disasters” Aren't Natural Anymore8:16 – What Is Wildfire, Really?13:20 – Smoke, Soil, and the Carbon Cost13:44 – Designing for Fire: Myths and Realities16:10 – Lessons from Australia and the U.S.18:26 – Who's Responsible at the Edge?19:30 – What Homeowners Need to Know21:54 – Policy, Enforcement, and the Zone Zero Debate25:36 – Why We Need Local, Nuanced Research30:56 – Rethinking the Wildland-Urban Interface33:10 – The WUI: Conflict, Desire, and Inequality37:12 – Building Pragmatic, Resilient Communities39:07 – Why East Coast Listeners Should Care Too42:35 – This Moment: On the Precipice44:12 – Where to Learn MoreKeywordswildfire resilience, built environment, suburbanization, urbanism, architecture, landscape architecture, design, urban planning, climate adaptation, landscape urbanism, wildland-urban interface, Jonah Susskind, SWA Group, climate strategy, suburban development, wildfire design, zone California, fireproof cities, smoke exposure effects, urban development

This episode is sponsored by XPLUS. On this episode we are diving into key changes in license enforcement in Dynamics 365 F&SCM with Bartosz Szpiech, vice president of product at XPLUS. We begin by discussing what has changed in the licensing model from AX 2012 to Dynamics 365 and how it is changing in the coming months in ways that will have important implications for customers still planning a move from on-premises to cloud, as well as for existing D365 customers. And while many customers will be able to adapt without too much disruption, there will be scenarios in which organizations could face a major impact to license costs and user management. We also discuss how security setup projects have evolved and how user security governance, or USG, can support license optimization and compliance going forward.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has today published its 2024 Annual Report, detailing the investigations, enforcement actions, and public awareness campaigns carried out last year. 2024 also marked a significant milestone as the CCPC celebrated its 10th anniversary, marking a decade of work promoting competition and enhancing consumer welfare. Key highlights from 2024: • Blocked daa's purchase of the former QuickPark car park site at Dublin Airport to prevent a monopoly in that market • Cleared 71% of merger determinations within 13.3 days, under a simplified process, despite merger notifications increasing by 21% • Opened five new investigations for suspected breaches of competition law • Carried out dawn raids on two premises as part of an ongoing cartel-related investigation in the home alarm industry, and assisted the Italian competition authority with an unannounced search of Ryanair's headquarters in Dublin as part of an ongoing Italian competition investigation • Recalled, withdrew or prevented 178,596 unsafe products reaching the Irish market • Launched proceedings against several nationwide retailers for breaches of new sales pricing laws • Undertook 205 consumer protection inspections • Responded to over 44,000 helpline contacts and received 1.8 million visits to ccpc.ie Among its highlights include the CCPC's successful intervention to prevent a potential monopoly in car parking at Dublin Airport, blocking the daa's attempted purchase of the former Quickpark site. The deal was stopped due to findings that it would lead to higher prices, less choice and lower service quality for consumers, and facilitated the entry of a new competitor to the car park market at Dublin Airport. Recent analysis conducted by the Commission shows evidence of consumers benefiting from increased competition for car park business at the airport. Over 178,000 unsafe products removed or prevented from reaching the Irish market Following consumer complaints, referrals from European networks, proactive investigations and work with Revenue Customs, the CCPC recalled, removed or prevented almost 180,000 unsafe and non-compliant products from reaching the Irish market. Recalls included almost 10,000 babies' sleepsuits and over 2,400 toy construction trucks, in addition to compliance inspections across hundreds of products. Enforcement and legal actions Work to protect Irish consumers from breaches of consumer protection law continued at pace with more than 200 inspections undertaken, 47 fixed penalty notices and 23 compliance notices issued. Successful prosecutions were brought against five retailers, with Tesco Ireland pleading guilty to two sample counts of failing to comply with the law in how they displayed the price of products offered on promotion to Clubcard holders. Dawn raids The CCPC carried out dawn raids on two premises as part of an ongoing cartel-related investigation in the home alarm industry. It also assisted the Italian Competition Authority, the Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (AGCM), in an unannounced search of Ryanair's headquarters in Dublin as part of an ongoing Italian competition law investigation. CCPC Chairperson Brian McHugh commented: "2024 marked a major milestone for the CCPC - ten years of championing consumer rights and fostering competitive markets in Ireland. Open, fair markets are the backbone of our economy's success, ensuring that whether consumers are making small everyday purchases or major financial decisions, their interests are protected. "Our Annual Report highlights the vital role the CCPC plays across all sectors of the economy, from enforcing consumer law on retail pricing, to advocating proactively for reforming the legal sector to better serve the interests of Irish businesses and consumers. As we look ahead, it is clear that the CCPC's work is more important than ever, and our vision for open and competitive markets where consumers are protected and busi...

If you've noticed more police patrolling North Texas highways lately, you're not imagining things. Law enforcement throughout the state have ramped up patrols to catch speeders as part of a Texas Department of Transportation campaign. Through Aug. 3, police will spend more time driving roads to demonstrate safe driving habits ― and issue tickets to drivers going too fast.

In this episode, I replay an episode from last year as it falls in line with the completion of the NFHS Rule Book Series In the world of football, penalty enforcement is a critical yet often misunderstood aspect of the game. As Jim Corpora, a seasoned official, explains, the rules surrounding penalties are both complex and nuanced, requiring officials to balance precision with efficiency. This episode delves into the intricacies of penalty enforcement, offering insights from Jim's extensive experience.Understanding Rule 10: Penalty enforcement in football is governed by Rule 10, which has seen significant changes over the years. Jim highlights the importance of efficient penalty administration, noting that delays or miscommunications can create poor optics for coaches and spectators. The 2023 rule changes, for instance, aim to align high school rules more closely with collegiate standards, offering offenses a fairer chance to recover from penalties.Live Ball vs. Dead Ball Fouls: A key distinction in penalty enforcement is between live ball and dead ball fouls. Live ball fouls occur during active play, such as pass interference, while dead ball fouls happen after the play has ended, like a late hit. Understanding this difference is crucial for officials, as it affects how penalties are enforced and can significantly impact the game's flow.The Role of Optics and Communication: Jim emphasizes the role of optics and communication in officiating. A well-delivered announcement by the referee can clarify complex penalty situations for everyone involved, from players to fans. In today's digital age, where every play can be captured and shared online, maintaining professionalism and clarity is more important than ever.Penalty enforcement in football is a blend of art and science, requiring officials to master the rules while maintaining clear communication. As Jim Corpora advises, officials should strive to eliminate avoidable mistakes and present a professional image, ensuring the game is played fairly and smoothly. For those interested in the finer details, diving into Rule 10 and related resources can provide valuable insights into this essential aspect of football.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest in football officiating and more insights from experts like Jim Corpora.

This episode of STRAT delivers a critical wake-up call: our current emergency preparedness planning process isn't enough for higher levels of government. Retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer discusses how military-style decision support, operational planning, and intelligence integration can be better adapted for civilian use—before another catastrophe strikes. Citing real-world failures like the Palisades Fire, Guadalupe River flood, and Montecito mudslides, Kempfer illustrates how a lack of holistic planning and intelligence preparation results in unnecessarily devastation. He illustrates how concepts in military planning processes can be adapted to better enable the Incident Planning Process used by first responders and emergency managers to get far better results in mitigation and preparedness, and minimize deadly failures. It's time to demand more robust, proactive planning at state and local levels—and to ensure those plans are understood and executed, not just filed away. If preparedness is the key to saving lives, this episode is your roadmap to doing it right.Takeaways:Military decision support templates offer critical planning clarity.Civilian emergency systems often lack depth and proactive detail.Operational planning must include evaluating multiple courses of action.First responders often operate tactically, not strategically.Intelligence Preparation of the Environment (IPOE) is vital.FEMA's past efforts at deeper planning were derailed by politics.Plans without training, exercises, and understanding are ineffective.Enforcement against waste and misuse of preparedness funding is essential.#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #EmergencyPreparedness #DisasterPlanning #IntelligenceSupport #IPOE #MilitaryPlanning #CrisisManagement #FirstResponders #FEMA #HomelandSecurity #RiskMitigation #PublicSafety #FloodPreparedness #WildfireResponse #OperationalReadiness #ContingencyPlanning #DecisionSupport
