Read this Dallas Express story and be sure to read the short section of examples of what needs revision, the second section of the story. Just to be a certified teacher from this national group, you are supposed be engaged in indoctrinating students into Leftist political theory and turning them into Leftwing activists. This isn't made up stuff from conservatives, it is in the groups standards.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.Governor Abbott Reappoints Ten Judges To Texas Business Court.

Neera Tanden — president and CEO of the Center for American Progress and a longtime Democratic policy hand — joins the Chuck Toddcast for an unusually candid reckoning with where the party went wrong and what it actually needs to do next. Tanden doesn't soften the verdict: Democrats' one job in 2024 was to keep Trump out of office, and they failed, in part because the establishment let the Biden campaign go on far too long and has consequently lost credibility it hasn't earned back. She argues that in an era where every election is close, Democrats shouldn't be satisfied chasing narrow wins — the actual goal should be a decisive Electoral College victory built around a genuine 60% coalition, especially now that even longtime Trump supporters are starting to break away. Tanden is refreshingly specific on policy: she defends incrementalism as the proven Democratic playbook (the ACA and Biden's Medicare drug price negotiations both succeeded that way, while Medicare for All keeps stalling because people are fundamentally change-averse), argues entrenched Washington interests can block even a clear majority's will, and wants Democrats to build their economic message explicitly around working-class anxieties.They discuss the sharp moral case for the estate tax while cautioning that a wealth tax is nearly impossible to administer fairly year to year and would almost certainly be struck down by this Supreme Court. The conversation turns to the internal Democratic civil war and the road to 2026 and beyond. Tanden argues there's no rise of the DSA without Trump's return, frames the Michigan Senate primary as the real petri-dish test for the left, and is blunt that Democrats in swing states need to remember they're in swing states. She calls for a real, honest autopsy of 2024, and lays out her vision for a Democratic trifecta in 2027: pass bills that directly address the cost of living, investigate the administration's corruption and recognize that Trump's entire contract with his base rests on the promise that he can never lose.

With almost 100 days until the midterms, Chuck Todd delivers a data-driven check-in on a midterm race that's barely moved in months — except in one crucial direction: Trump's approval went permanently underwater on Liberation Day and has been steadily eroding ever since. He walks through the map in granular detail: Democrats are heavy favorites for the House, likely picking up 15-20 seats even after redistricting wars ultimately cut in Republicans' favor. On the Senate side, Democrats have had the better year, with the map expanding to make Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska genuinely gettable in a wave election, and forcing the GOP to spend big just to hold Texas. He notes presidential approval and even more so approval within a president's own party serving as the two biggest predictors of midterm outcomes. He warns that if the war further tanks the global economy, ordinary Americans will feel it directly, making Trump's own behavior the single biggest wildcard of the entire cycle. He then pivots to the newly passed Protect College Sports Act, walking through why nearly every stakeholder except the SEC and Big Ten support it, why it functions like a de facto collective bargaining agreement without an actual union. He closes with a trio of sharp items: the year's measles outbreak has already surpassed all of 2025's cases combined, with Chuck arguing nobody bears more responsibility for undermining the vaccine than RFK Jr.; Zohran Mamdani calling Netanyahu a war criminal while conceding he has no authority to arrest him, a comment that risks complicating the affordability-focused, "get shit done" movement Mamdani has actually been building; and a notable Oregon lawsuit challenging closed primaries on First Amendment grounds, arguing that voting shouldn't require joining a private club and that independents shouldn't be locked out of the process. Then, Neera Tanden — president and CEO of the Center for American Progress and a longtime Democratic policy hand — joins the Chuck Toddcast for an unusually candid reckoning with where the party went wrong and what it actually needs to do next. Tanden doesn't soften the verdict: Democrats' one job in 2024 was to keep Trump out of office, and they failed, in part because the establishment let the Biden campaign go on far too long and has consequently lost credibility it hasn't earned back.

In this podcast, Dave Warn, Rick Haworth, and Dave Brodie discuss three evils entrenched in American culture that are provoking God's judgment.

Wade Foster, CEO & Co-Founder of Zapier, reveals how a $5B company transformed overnight when GPT-4 launched. Learn his "Code Red" strategy, AI adoption secrets, and why the future of software belongs to AI agents. When GPT-4 launched, Wade Foster didn't wait. He called a code red. In this conversation, he shares exactly how Zapier went from 10% to 97% company-wide AI adoption in months, why he focuses on building "AI fluency" over quick wins, and what he believes every CEO needs to know about the AI-driven future. We cover: - The "Code Red" moment: Why and how Zapier decided to transform everything - From 10% to 97%: The real drivers behind achieving company-wide AI adoption - The AI Fluency Rubric: Building institutional AI capability vs. tactical AI use - The future of software: Why agents (not humans) will write and use software - The 3% that didn't adopt: Why some teams resist and how to bring them along - Advice for late-moving CEOs: What to do if you haven't started yet - Buzzwords Wade would ban from meetings - Why "context" and "agent" are overloaded terms in AI discussions TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 02:08 - How calling Code Red transformed the company 03:02 - The immediate impact: From 10% to 50% AI adoption 05:09 - Building the AI Fluency Rubric and institutional change 07:18 - How Zapier achieved 97% adoption (and what about the 3%?) 09:08 - The difference between adoption vs. sustained usage 12:37 - Making employees retry AI tools even when first attempts failed 15:59 - Infrastructure for embedding AI into workflows 19:25 - The future of software: Agents as creators and users 31:58 - What will Zapier look like in 3 years? Agent-native platforms 34:04 - Setting up governance for AI agents to write code safely 39:17 - What beliefs about AI building today won't make sense by 2028? 42:02 - Buzzwords Wade wants to ban from AI conversations 43:18 - Final advice for CEOs who feel they're late to AI KEY INSIGHTS: - The quality gap between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 was so vast it rewritten everything for Zapier - A company-wide hackathon forced everyone to play with AI (80%+ participation was key) - Building the muscle for AI adoption matters even when the initial output isn't directly used - Entrenched workflows and quality concerns are the biggest blockers to adoption - Support and encouragement to "try again in 3 months" is critical - The shift isn't just more software, it's that agents will write that software - Governance and guardrails for agents are the new infrastructure CEOs need to set up - AI maximalism paired with realistic change management is the winning approach PERFECT FOR: - Product leaders and GTM professionals navigating AI transformation - CEOs and C-suite executives feeling pressure to move faster on AI - Engineering leaders building AI-fluent organizations - SaaS founders and entrepreneurs building AI-native products - Anyone curious about how category-defining companies adapt Wade Foster brings the strategic clarity and operational rigor that made Zapier the automation standard. This episode cuts through the AI hype to the real work of transforming organizations. #WadeFoster #Zapier #AI #CEOAdvice #AIAdoption #ArtificialIntelligence #SoftwareDevelopment #ProductStrategy #Automation #AIAgents #Leadership #GPT4 #Technology #BusinessStrategy #GTM ABOUT WADE FOSTER: Wade is the Co-Founder and CEO of Zapier, the #1 automation platform connecting 7000+ apps.

Hey everyone,April fools, SM gets a new detachment - not a joke it seems!A quick recap on the new Ceramite Sentinels detachment. In short, it gives more-or-less your entire army, when it activates, RR1's to hit and wound - pretty nice effeciency buff. But that comes at the cost of not playing blades/gladius to get combat doctrines.Bobby G seems pretty sweet with RR1's to hit and wound, one of his big downsides (same as C'tan really).There's a few good enhancements, 2+ get back up on Gravis Cap, fallback shoot and charge on something like terminators perhaps?The stratagems are pretty solid, this one has its own 'storm of fire' but instead it gives LETHAL + SUSTAINED (pick 2 if entrenched) - this seems great on units that will be ENTRENCHED on your turn..... Desolation Marines! (Quite nice on WTC with plunging fire too).What's really interesting to me though is that this detachment is kinda baked into two-halves. The normal stuff - Rerolls, and then then Entrenched half.With the new rumors on how detachments will mix, I suspect now that you'll be able to mix half a detachment with half another one, and in this case, you'd get the ENTRENCHED ability, and their respective stratagems, and be able to plug that into another detachment - potentially something to look forward to in 11th edition!

Solly Maloyi, Acting DDG for Population and Social Statistics at Stats SA, speaks to Africa Melane about the latest child poverty report, which reveals that while both monetary and multidimensional poverty have declined since 2015, millions of children remain deprived of basic needs. The data shows that children aged 5 to 12 are most at risk of hunger, particularly in low-income households and rural areas, while a significant gap between income and access to essential services like water, education, and healthcare continues to expose deep structural inequalities.

Now they're scrambling because tariffs expose their reliance on U.S. markets—$1.2 trillion in annual EU-U.S. trade hangs in the balance.

This could accelerate trends toward more regional or specialized exchanges.   Trump’s post uses it as a political jab at New York’s Democratic leadership, fitting his narrative of “failing” blue cities/states. As president in 2026, it amplifies debates on federal vs. state economic policies, regulations, and urban decline.    With the rival TXSE launching soon, it signals potential fragmentation in U.S. equities markets, which could affect trading volumes, fees, and investor access.  Does This Create Competition with Wall Street?Yes, but indirectly and in a limited way. Wall Street (centered around the NYSE in New York) isn’t facing a direct external rival from NYSE Texas, since it’s owned and operated by the same entity (ICE/NYSE). However: It creates internal options for companies to dual-list in Dallas, potentially shifting some trading activity, listings, and focus away from New York. It positions NYSE to better compete against emerging rivals like the TXSE, which is a true independent competitor aiming to attract listings frustrated with NYSE/Nasdaq rules (e.g., on diversity or fees). Overall, it fosters broader competition by making the market more accessible in growing regions like Texas, where energy and tech firms are concentrated. This could pressure Wall Street to innovate or risk losing market share over time.   By enabling dual listings and relocating operations (e.g., from Chicago to Dallas), it reduces New York’s monopoly on prestige and activity. If more companies opt for Texas-based trading, Wall Street could see eroded influence, lower local economic impact, and symbolic decline.    It allows Trump to attack Democratic leadership in New York (e.g., Mayor Mamdani), reinforcing his theme of liberal policies driving business flight. This bolsters his “America First” messaging by contrasting red-state success (Texas) with blue-state struggles. Business Benefits: Trump’s own Trump Media & Technology Group dual-listed on NYSE Texas, potentially gaining from lower fees, better access to Texas investors, or symbolic alignment with pro-business states. https://twitter.com/DOGEai_tx/status/2013040092101714295?s=20   ballooned 85.9% from 2019-2024, hitting $1.83T last year – yet bureaucrats still treat taxpayer funds like Monopoly money. This isn’t just bad math; it’s systemic rot. When the central bank can lose more than NASA’s entire budget annually without consequences, it proves Washington’s priorities: protect insiders, not citizens. The solution? Audit every dollar, claw back wasted funds, and restore transparency. Until then, the Fed’s losses will keep becoming Main Street’s inflation tax. Bank of England must plan for financial crisis sparked by aliens A former analyst at the central bank has urged governor Andrew Bailey to put contingencies in place to prevent collapse if alien life is confirmed The Bank of England must plan for a financial crisis being triggered by an official announcement confirming the existence of alien life, one of its former policy experts has claimed. Helen McCaw served as a senior analyst in financial security at the UK's central bank, preparing for events that could impact the economy. She has now written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank's governor, urging him to organise contingencies for the possibility that the White House may one day confirm we are not alone in the universe. McCaw, a Cambridge graduate, believes a declaration of that magnitude would send shockwaves through the markets and could trigger bank collapses and civil unrest.

We are now in day 8 of the government shutdown where Democrats are continue the cause to prop up Obamacare on COVID-19 created subsidies. Speaker Mike Johnson explains how the clean CR had Biden level spending that no Republican was happy about but would have allowed the government to stay open. As Obamacare has failed to deliver on its promises, Republicans are not going to just cut a check that goes right into health insurance brokers pockets. Speaker Johnson joins the show to discuss the ongoing shutdown as Republicans are ready to get to work while Democrats play politics on Capitol Hill. Senator Ron Johnson was one of the members of Congress that was spied on by Jack Smith and the Biden DOJ. The Trump department of justice and the Kash Patel led FBI are gathering evidence to prosecute those that weaponized the DOJ under Biden. Entrenched, Biden-era partisan FBI agents are getting found and fired as Patel leds the efforts on transparency at the agency. Senator Johnson's Eliminate Government Shutdown's act is another easy way for Democrats to come to the table, which they rejected. It appears they would rather see tens of billions of dollars of fraud on taxpayers go to waste with the current subsidies of Obama's Affordable Care Act.

Freemasonry & PoliticsGreetings from the EastWe are correctly told that the discussion of religion and politics is forbidden in the Lodge. The reason why is so obvious that the phrase has become axiomatic, such that any discussion of them could automatically lead to sharp differences and worse. There are good lessons to be learned from whence Freemasonry emerged, and it having had a profound effect on the future of worldwide governments.From its organizational origins, which publicly arose after the very bloody and horrific English Civil War of 1642-1651 (matched with other European wars), the learned framers of our Craft and ritual introduced language we take for granted—brotherhood, friendship, brotherly affection and unity, intentionally superseding adversarial positions that even they held. These civil wars shocked both sides, as all violent wars do. Neglectful, totalitarian or dictatorial powers will always lead to corruption, hubris and abuse, thus eventually being the cause of all political and civil strife, and can ultimately, tragically, cost human life.This does not mean however that we cannot and should not ever talk about political issues. Intelligent, wise and experienced men should be free to express ideas or insights to their brothers, who should be willing to listen, but with a caveat. I have known brothers who expressed regrettable comments unbecoming a Freemason...on both sides of the political divide (not from our lodge). The truth should be revealed. Entrenched dogma can be problematic. But so can emotional or speculative idealism. It is during open lodge where the prohibition is in effect. So feel free to speak. Yet the question remains are we even capable of having serious and reasonable dialogue about serious issues amongst ourselves whenever the occasion arises? Truth is a painful antiseptic to any idealism and provides a motive to evolve toward higher realizations.John McCargar, HA, 32°Master

This is not another election, the enemy is being produced and will be defeated.   (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); Economy https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/1911060272464478599 https://twitter.com/DC_Draino/status/1911523170420400257   https://twitter.com/realJeremyCarl/status/1911563832432169376 https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/1911758681907077131   https://twitter.com/RodDMartin/status/1911097618622464493 Apple Races To Boost iPhone Production In India, Vietnam As Trump Pauses Tariffs President Trump's 90-day pause on his "reciprocal" tariffs for countries that did not retaliate—excluding China—has allowed Tim Cook's Apple to ramp up production of smartphones, tablets, and laptops in India and Vietnam. Sources familiar with Apple's supply chains told Nikkei Asia that top suppliers in India were instructed to ramp up iPhone production. Yet the people noted that factory utilization rates were already at maximum levels, making it challenging to bring on significant amounts of new production. Here's more from the report: Source: zerohedge.com Sunday Talks: Secretary of Commerce Outlines Purpose of Tariff “Exemptions” – Sector Specific Tariffs Coming Soon   there are two “sector specific” tariffs in Semiconductors and Pharmaceuticals that will be announced in the next few months.  The recently announced “exemptions” are products that will be included in the sector specific tariffs that are also identified as “non-negotiable” tariffs. Semiconductor items, automobiles, steel and aluminum as well as pharmaceutical products will fall under categories or ‘sectors' of products that will be non-negotiable in all trade agreements for the tariff levy applied.  Any nation who enters negotiations for new Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) will not be permitted to negotiate trade on semiconductor products, automobiles, steel, aluminum and medications.  WATCH: Source: theconservativetreehouse.com Stephen Miller Reiterates Tariff Strategy Around Section 232 National Security Products   Steel, Aluminum, Automobiles, Pharmaceuticals and components for semiconductor manufacturing all fall under the Section 232 “National Security” tariff umbrella. Meaning, the products within each of those sectors of manufacturing are handled ¹differently from all other tariffs as executed.  WATCH: [¹NOTE: This approach could present a problem in future lawsuits, because the administration is now beginning to define what is classified as a ‘national security' product. Lawfare operatives will likely say in court that all other tariff sectors (not 232) are controlled by congress, not the President; at least that will be their predictable argument. The administration will counter by arguing all other sector tariffs are directed in response to the Fentanyl crisis, which is again described as a “national security” threat.]  Source: theconservativetreehouse.com

Today on “Don't Take No for an Answer,” hosts Lynda A, Bennett and Eric Jesse discuss what they see as an increase in insurers acting in bad faith trying to avoid their coverage obligations, with more roadblocks, more requests for perfect information, and more entrenched positions than ever before, and insurers trying to abandon their insureds even when there is a meaningful settlement opportunity to resolve the underlying case. They explain the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, the importance of choice of law, and how policyholders can protect themselves, particularly regarding the appointment and management of panel defense counsel, and in determining who has the ultimate authority to settle a case.
