President Donald Trump has made new moves in recent days to crack down on immigration into the U.S.    After Trump vowed to pause immigration from “developing nations countries,” the U.S. has frozen all immigration applications for foreigners from 19 counties, and is reviewing applications that were approved during the four years of the Biden administration. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed on Fox News Thursday that the list will be expanded to “over 30” nations, but did not specify.     For now, the list includes: Afghanistan, Myanmar, Burundi, Chad, Cuba, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, and Yemen.     The president has specifically criticized the Somalia immigrant population in the U.S. after news broke that a fraud scheme among Minnesota's Somali population costs taxpayers over $1 billion.     Additionally, Trump has paused all visas for Afghan nationals after a man from Afghanistan who has been living in the U.S. since the fall of Kabul in 2021 shot two National Guard Members near the White House the day before Thanksgiving, killing U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom.     On this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss President Donald Trump's heightened immigration crackdown, and why assimilation has to be a key part of immigration policy.     Plus, what is going on with the narco-terrorist boat strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific? We break it down. And Sabrina Carpenter is mad at the White House for using her music in an immigration enforcement video.

//The Wire//2300Z December 3, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: MOLOTOV ATTACK TARGETS ICE FACILITY IN LOS ANGELES. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT RETURNS TO JOB AS POLICE OFFICER IN CHICAGO, DESPITE AWAITING TRIAL FOR IMMIGRATION FRAUD. CRACKDOWN ON THOUGHT AND SPEECH CRIMES CONTINUES TO SPREAD IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: The crackdown on speech continues, with several developments taking place this week. A man was arrested a few days ago for the "possession of extreme music", which allegedly violates terrorism laws. Separately, a woman was arrested for using a slur in a private text-message exchange to describe the man who attacked her, and a another case came to light involving a man who was arrested after posting vacation pictures online, which featured him visiting a shooting range in the United States.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning the Department of Homeland Security formally halted all immigration and naturalization from 19x nations labeled as High-Risk Countries. The list of these nations is as follows: Afghanistan, Burma, Burundi, Chad, Cuba, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, and Yemen.Analyst Comment: The halt of immigration from these nations is not new by any means, this was announced back in June as part of Presidential Proclamation 10949, but this policy is just being implemented now.West Virginia: Winter weather conditions resulted in a technical rescue taking place on Route 35 near Sixteen Mile Road in Mason County. Mason Bridge was closed for over 5 hours while the high-angle rescue was being conducted. The driver was uninjured and refused medical treatment at the scene. The cause of the accident is not known.Minnesota: Locals have reported ICE operations beginning in Minneapolis, as a few illegals from Somalia have been arrested over the past few days.Analyst Comment: This may or may not be the beginning of a larger campaign; ICE agents have been conducting low-level operations in Minneapolis for months now, so it's not clear as to if the arrests that have been made recently are part of that routine effort, or part of a much larger campaign. Either way, resistance throughout the city is significant as Somalis form a more cohesive effort to halt the enforcement of immigration law.Maryland: This afternoon a shooting was reported at the food court inside MGM National Harbor casino in Prince George County. One person was killed and another wounded during the attack. Local authorities state that the shooting was targeted, and that the shooter sought out the victim personally. No further details on the shooter or the motive have been released. The food court at the casino remains closed while the murder investigation continues, but the rest of the casino is open as usual.California: On Monday an arson attack was carried out in Los Angeles, which took the form of an assailant using multiple Molotov devices to attack the Los Angeles Federal Building (LAFB). Per the notice provided by DHS officials yesterday, the man approached the facility and threw two Molotovs at the security guards outside the facility, before being detained. Neither device functioned as designed, and the suspect was arrested at the scene. Yesterday the DOJ identified the suspect as Jose Francisco Jovel, a resident of Koreatown.Analyst Comment: As arson attacks remain fairly constant nationwide during times of heightened unrest, the use of fire as a weapon is becoming more of a concern for the prepared citizen. Molotovs are a common sight in Los Angeles at this point, however this man attempted to use his devices to immolate two security officers posted at the entrance to the facility.Nebraska: A series of shootings were reported in Omaha this morning. The f

From IRAN to AFGHANISTAN, from ERITREA to SUDAN, and from London to the hidden corners of persecuted regions, millions stand firm in Christ where following Jesus costs everything.

Los babuinos jugaron un papel sorprendente en resolver el misterio del antiguo país de Punt. Durante años, los historiadores no sabían exactamente dónde estaba ubicado Punt, pero era un importante socio comercial de Egipto, famoso por sus bienes exóticos. Algunos de esos bienes incluían babuinos, que los egipcios importaban. Los investigadores estudiaron babuinos momificados antiguos y compararon su composición química con la de los babuinos modernos. Descubrieron que los babuinos probablemente provenían de una zona alrededor de lo que hoy es Eritrea o Etiopía. ¡Gracias a estas criaturas peludas, los científicos tienen una idea mucho más clara de dónde estaba Punt!

From London to Tehran, from Kabul to Asmara, from Asmara to Khartoum, underground churches gather in whispers, in locked rooms, in safe houses, and in hidden prayer circles. This scripture remains one of the most memorised and quietly spoken verses among persecuted believers because it declares resilience in the face of oppression. It reminds the global church that persecution is real, but abandonment is not. Iran's secret disciples, Afghanistan's hidden believers, Eritrea's imprisoned Christians, and Sudan's targeted followers continue to stand firm through pressure, fear, and threat. Today we lift every believer in these four nations—those who risk their lives to worship, those who lead underground networks, those facing imprisonment, and those who share Christ in hostile environments. The Holy Spirit strengthens what persecution attempts to crush and sustains every step of their witness.Prayer Points Prayer for protection over secret believers, prayer for courage in Iran's underground church, prayer for strength for Afghan disciples living in hiding, prayer for relief for Eritrean prisoners of faith, prayer for safety over Sudanese Christians facing violence, prayer for hope in isolation, prayer for boldness to share the gospel, prayer for provision for displaced Christian families, prayer for the advance of God's Word in hostile territories, prayer for God's presence to surround persecuted believers across these four nationsLife Application Remember the persecuted church today by praying intentionally for believers in Iran, Afghanistan, Eritrea, and Sudan.

From London to Lagos, from Lagos to Toronto, from Toronto to Mumbai, from Mumbai to Cape Town, millions search this scripture during moments of uncertainty, fear, and spiritual pressure. Psalm 27:1 is one of the most globally highlighted verses because it anchors believers in God's strength, stability, and protection. When life feels fragile or overwhelming, this scripture lifts the heart into confidence and steadiness.

It's Tuesday, November 25th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Eritrea Persecutes Christians persecution.org reports now eight Christians who have languished in Eritrea prison cells for over 18 years.  The charge — they were following Jesus Christ. Eritrean authorities routinely arrest and imprison Christians in horrific conditions under severe authoritarian rule.   The nation recognizes only four religious groups within its borders: the Tewahedo Orthodox Church, the Roman Catholic Church, Evangelical Lutheran churches, and Sunni Islam. All other Christian denominations are unrecognized by the state.  According to a 2025 report from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), “as of May 2024, over 350 Christians were imprisoned [in Eritrea].” The report continued, stating that “police at times arrest entire Christian families, including children, during the early morning hours.”  Brazilian Christian Homeschool Conference The Brazilian Christian Homeschool movement is exploding.  2,000 dads, moms, and children  Joao Passeo participated over a 3 day conference — with messages on Biblical Worldview in science and history, Christian education, family discipleship, family economy, God-centered curriculum, and God's order for family, church and state. This was the fourth in the Generations and Worldview sponsored conferences in Brazil — one more way of serving 75,000 homeschoolers throughout the country. Expo organizer, Vinicius Reis had this to say about God's powerful working in the hearts of fathers and mothers throughout Brazil:   VINICIUS: “We are here in the third day, the last day, of our Expo Homeschooling Brazil Conference. We have the mission with this event, to connect those who love and teach their children. And we achieve here, more than 2000 attendees, during these three days, and it was so special... and receiving encouragement to move it and keep moving forward, especially in our discipleship mission for our kids. So, thank you for supporting us and continue praying for us, because despite the challenge, despite the persecution, we will not stop to teach and to love our children. May God bless you and may God bless Brazil too, amen.” Psalm 78 has a message for all Christian parents: "For [the Lord] established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which He commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children; That the generation to come might know them, The children who would be born, That they may arise and declare them to their children, That they may set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God." Argentina Considering Recognization of Homeschooling And, Argentina is heading towards a complete rewrite of their education law — explicitly recognizing homeschooling and hybrid forms of distance education as legitimate alternatives. If the law passes, parents will be recognized as “the natural and primary agents” of education, and the state's role will be considered subsidiary. The nations' teachers unions have already expressed opposition to the legislation, entitled The Education Freedom Act. G-20 Annual in Johannesburg At least 13 presidents and prime ministers from leading nations showed up at the G-20 annual get together of the world's most powerful men in Johannesburg, South Africa over the weekend.  Nothing substantial was accomplished, besides the issuance of vague statements on climate resilience, peace, stability, the need for debt relief, and global cooperation. The US and Argentina were conspicuously absent from a meeting that involved the UK, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, and Australia.  This was the United States's first absence since the creation of G-20 in 1999 under the Clinton Administration.  According to recent numbers published in the US Government's FY2026 budget, the US contributions to international organizations and UN peacekeeping is dropping by 89% — from $2.45 billion to $264 million. Here is one clear message for G-20 and the world's leaders: "Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.  Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way." Psalm 2:10  College-Grad Employment Getting Worse College-grad employment is getting worse and worse.  A recent Bloomberg story finds that the percentage of the college-educated making up the unemployment numbers in the US has increased from 12% in 2008 to 25% in 2025.  Young degree-holders are running at a 9.2% unemployment rate. All that to say, the market for college-educate Marxist-activists has cooled quite a bit.  40% of US House of Representatives are Pro-Life Exactly 40% of the US House of Representatives are pro-life and willing to oppose the mail-order abortion pill. Only 174 members signed a letter urging the Trump Administration Department of Health and Human Services to ban the mail-order kill-pill, but still allowing for in-person dispensing of it. 44 Republicans members and the Democrat contingency did not sign the letter. Bitcoin Loses Value Cryptocurrency is still as volatile as ever.  Bitcoin has lost 30% of its value in the last six weeks — that's the third swing exceeding 30% in just a year. Over the same year, gold took a steady 100% increase, without any significant downturns. Wicked Movie Sequel in the Box Office The movie sequel to Wicked received the largest box office opening since Barbie in 2023 — a worldwide record of $226 million. Wicked: For Good is based on a book meant to put both “good” and “bad” witchcraft in a good light. . . .Author, Gregory Maguire. was one of the first persons in America to stage a faux-homosexual marriage in the state of Massachusetts in 2004.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 91:11 — Angels Guard You: Prayer for the Persecuted Church (9 a.m. Faith Under Fire)  “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” — Psalm 91:11 (NIV)Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper. Across regions like China, Afghanistan, Eritrea, and North Korea, believers are searching for “prayer for persecuted Christians,” “secret church prayer,” and “God protect the underground church.” Psalm 91:11 speaks directly into hidden fear and silent endurance. Jesus stands with every believer who worships in secret and trusts Him in danger.  Persecution attempts to silence the Church, but Christ strengthens His people in the shadows. The Holy Spirit ministers quietly in homes, fields, prison cells, and unsafe places of worship. God commands His angels to guard those who suffer for His name. Their faith is not forgotten; their courage is seen by heaven  This morning we stand with the persecuted Church worldwide. We lift those who gather in whispers, those separated from family, those imprisoned, and those facing pressure for following Jesus. May God's covering surround them and Christ's presence sustain them. Context Millions of Christians live under pressure, watching every step they take. Psalm 91:11 reminds them—and us—that God's protection is not removed by danger. His angels guard those who trust in Him, even in nations where faith is costly. Reflection The persecuted Church teaches us how to stand firm. Their quiet bravery reveals the power of Christ in dark places. When fear tries to weaken them, the Holy Spirit strengthens them. When loneliness strikes, Jesus draws near. Intercession & Vision Lord, protect believers in China, Afghanistan, Eritrea, and North Korea. Guard underground gatherings, strengthen leaders, and comfort prisoners of faith. Let revival burn in hidden places. Shield families, bless children, and let the gospel advance with power. Prayer Points Pray for protection over the persecuted Church. Ask God to strengthen believers in dangerous nations. Pray for courage for secret gatherings. Intercede for prisoners of faith. Declare that Jesus is present in every hidden church. Pray for families torn apart by persecution. Ask for angelic protection. Thank God that His kingdom grows even under pressure.

La guerra nel Corno d'Africa è passata sul corpo delle donne, una storia di violenza raccontata della fotografa italiana Cinzia Canneri, premiata nell'ultima edizione del World Press Photo.Negli ultimi 30 anni centinaia di migliaia di persone sono fuggite dall'Eritrea nel tentativo di raggiungere, soprattutto, l'Europa. Fuggono da dittatura, detenzioni arbitrarie e sparizioni forzate diffuse e sistematiche, da un governo che impone un servizio militare obbligatorio a tempo indeterminato, anche alle donne. Una vera diaspora secondo Siid Negash, attivista eritreo, portavoce della Ong “Eritrea Democratica”, che combatte contro la violazione dei diritti umani in Eritrea. Donne che fuggono, con i figli, dalle violenze che sono proseguite nonostante l'accordo di cessazione delle ostilità firmato nel 2022. Una storia di impunità a cui si è opposta l'attivista etiope per i diritti delle donne e musicista Meseret Hadush, originaria del Tigray che nel 2023 ha fondato la l'Ong Hiwyet che si batte per perseguire i responsabili delle violenze.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 23:4 — Christ With the Persecuted: Courage in the Dark Valley “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” — Psalm 23:4 Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper. The persecuted church walks through valleys the world rarely sees — yet Christ walks with them. Psalm 23:4 is one of the most searched verses globally for those seeking courage under pressure, light in darkness and strength when faith is tested. Across China, North Korea, Eritrea, Iran and Afghanistan, believers cling to this promise with unshakeable hope. prayer anchors Day 2 in PERSEVERANCE, standing with our brothers and sisters who refuse to let fear silence their faith. For many Christians, faith comes at a cost — secrecy, isolation, imprisonment and constant danger. Yet in every hidden room, prison cell, and whispered gathering, Jesus is present. The rod and staff of Christ protect, comfort and guide. No government, law or threat can remove His presence. The Holy Spirit fills underground believers with a courage that cannot be extinguished. Persecuted believers remind us what courage truly looks like — worship in silence, prayer behind closed doors, Scripture hidden in hearts, and faith held tightly when the world pushes back.Their valley is dark, but Christ's light is brighter. Their path is dangerous, but His presence is stronger. Today, as we pray for them, we also reflect on our own faith: Are we willing to stand? Are we willing to remain faithful? The Spirit strengthens both them and us. We lift China, North Korea, Eritrea, Iran and Afghanistan before You, Lord. Strengthen the secret church, protect prisoners of faith, empower underground leaders and comfort those who worship quietly in fear of persecution.Bring revival in hidden places. Let courage spread, protection increase and Your presence be their constant companion. Pray for protection over secret gatherings. Ask God to strengthen believers facing imprisonment. Pray for Bibles and resources to reach underground churches.Ask the Holy Spirit to comfort families separated by persecution.Pray for courage for new believers under threat.Ask for supernatural protection over pastors and leaders.Pray for prisoners of faith to experience Christ's presence.Ask God to soften the hearts of persecutors.Pray for revival to grow in hostile natiSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Klimattoppmötet Cop30 går mot sitt slut i Brasilien. Redan nu är det bestämt att Etiopien kommer att arrangera det om två år. Vad innebär det för konflikten mellan Etiopien och Eritrea? Vilka lärdomar finns från Cop29 i Azerbajdzjan? Rasmus Canbäck resonerar kring att klimattoppmöten kan bidra till stabilitet mellan stater, men öka turbulensen inrikes. Brit Stakston har modererat ett seminarium om "fact checking", eller verifiering som det numera talas om. Hur var faktakollarnas guru Glenn Kessler i verkligheten?

Send us your feedback — we're listeningRomans 8:28 — God Works in All Things: Perseverance for the Persecuted Church“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper. Across the world right now, countless believers worship Jesus in silence, secrecy and danger. Romans 8:28 remains one of the most searched verses because persecuted believers cling to this truth when everything around them shakes.From China to North Korea, from Eritrea to Somalia, from Afghanistan to India, the church under pressure stands with unbroken faith.This is our Faith Under Fire prayer — part of the Ultra Ecosystem Arc — where courage becomes perseverance. When the world opposes them, Christ strengthens them. When darkness rises, God is still working for good.Romans 8:28 was written to a church facing suffering, uncertainty and hostility — a mirror of what many believers face today. Yet Paul declares that God remains sovereign in every trial. Persecuted believers do not have freedom, safety or visibility — but they have Jesus. And Jesus is enough. The Holy Spirit strengthens them in prison cells, in house-church gatherings, in whispered midnight prayers. What the enemy meant for destruction, Faith under fire reveals the purity of devotion. Persecuted believers do not follow Jesus for comfort — they follow Him because He is truth, life and the only hope that cannot be taken away God is working in all things, even when the battle feels relentless. We pray for China, North Korea, Somalia and India — nations where believers face oppression, imprisonment, intimidation and loss.Lord, surround the underground church with Your protection. Strengthen pastors, house-church leaders and disciples meeting in secrecy.Open prison doors, soften the hearts of officials and guard every family standing for Christ.  Ask God to protect underground churches meeting in secret.Pray for prisoners of faith to be comforted and sustained.Ask the Holy Spirit to bring courage to families under pressure.Pray for Bibles to reach restricted nations.Ask God to break the chains of persecution and injustice.Pray for revival to rise from hidden places.Ask God to strengthen leaders facing threats.Pray for protection for new believers in hostile environments.Thank God thaSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Many meet secretly, whisper prayers and risk everything to follow Christ. Philippians 4 : 13 becomes their lifeline. It reminds them that strength is not human; it is given by Christ in the darkest places.ReflectionCourage is not the absence of fear but the presence of Christ.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast as I'm easing back into the flow of life in Accra after a whirlwind trip across the US via London. My experiences in the US inlcluded much needed R&R in Hawaii, where I met some amazing new connections--stay tuned for those conversations early next year. Next, I revisited my alma mater, Stanford University for reunion-homecoming weekend and reconnected with classmates doing truly amazing work, which you'll also hear about soon. The rest of my time was spent getting myself organized for a new chapter on this Pan-African progres mission, engaging with #UNGA80 in New York City, and gathering my thoughts in Colorado. As part of my thought gathering and as five years of storytelling with dynamic diasporans becomes six, this week's compilation is a reflection on visionary entrepreneurs doing essential work improving food systems, as stewards of earth's abundant resources, and by building and delivering value to communities. Each of these guests - Luther Lawoyin, founder and CEO of Pricepally in Nigeria; Nana Opoku Ageyman-Prempeh, CEO of Grow For Me in Ghana; Wellington Baiden, CEO of Portal Forest Estates also in Ghana; and Asmeret Berhe-Lumax, founder of the One Love Community Fridge Project in the US, engages daily with the realities of the global challenges we are all facing - the availability and access to affordable, quality food; improving the livelihoods of those that deliver that food; and planning the land for the long haul. The great thing about each of their entgerprises is that they are all growing and going strong with mission critical works, AND you can help ensure their continued success with your time, investment and/or donations.

Revelation 19 : 16 reminds us that no empire, law or leader can dethrone the King of Kings. The Church under fire still testifies that Christ is Lord and His Kingdom cannot be crushed.Paragraph 2 – Reflection When the world sees weakness, heaven sees worship. Every whispered prayer and hidden gathering is a proclamation that Jesus is Lord. Persecution purifies faith; it reveals the strength of His Spirit within us.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision We pray for China, Iran, North Korea and Eritrea.

So cute and easy!   Knitting in Passing A cute preteen girl came over when I was crocheting on the train to ask what kind of hook I was using and then asked if I was making a stocking for Christmas. I asked if she crocheted. She said yes but didn't offer more. When she went back to the grown up she was with, they gave her a big high five. So cute. Then the gentleman across from me who saw me counting rows then asked what happened if I lose count. Told him I could read the stitches. He congratulated me onto who new addition to our family.   In My Travels I shared highlights from a recent trip to New York City. I spent a wonderful morning at the MET Aida Silvestri- artist from Eritrea who had a triptych of pieces on display. Her work is motivated by social concern, but it also explores the camera's ability to connect people to a place. In these portraits of immigrant women, the artist strategically blurs her subjects' faces. This gesture, born of a need for protective anonymity, seems to evoke a greater enigma of the self. Mapping the course of migration to London are lines of thread stitched into the surfaces of the print- permanent, identity-altering interventions. Silvestri regards her series as a documentary project dedicated to those travelers who never reached their destination. Two embroidery samplers from Bostonian women from the late 1700s that were just beautiful. We visited the Chelsea Flea- I got a cool pair of earrings We got cookies from Levain Bakery We made a quick trip to Knitty City and Laura picked out yarn for a hat Musical- Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York We also saw Blue Moon at the movies.

Hats! Many of our early Q2 finishers completed hats.  Neferetri, Hollyelyse and Janknitdun completed beautiful cabled hats...I bet the row counter came in handy for those projects! Kimbuktu7 completed a lovely colorwork hat Adrie9 completed a lovely two colored musselburgh hat  Neckwear is also a popular choice among our early Q2 finishers Mikkaelab completed a lovely crocheted cowl and a knit bandana! Sandyrlevin also completed a cowl in steelers colors (note--she used a pattern by PSP Knitty Natty too)--Way to rack up those points! There's still plenty of time for you to get your projects in for Q2. These finishers have definitely demonstrated that there are plenty of patterns with at least 60 rows that work up in a flash!   PepperRN added in Pigskin Party Tips Thread on Ravelry If you are budgeting but still want to support sponsors buy something re usable. Stitch markers can be used in 1 project and then when finished in the next. I like knitting hats for charity so I bought a hat pattern from a sponsor. I put that pattern with a sponsor bag and sponsor stitch markers and can knit it over and over during the PSP.   On a Happy Note New York City! I took the train this time which was a great option. Laura and I had dinner with two of her pilates clients. We all enjoyed Gabriella and Zachary's first sleepover. We watched the KPOP Demon Hunters movie and after going to bed early and reading the Hot Air Balloon book, wehad fun hunting for the orange eyed monster! Dan made the kids pancakes and we'll put their photos on the collage wall in the guest room. Gabriella asked for a unicorn and a ghost Spiderman. Zach wanted Spiderman. I received a really nice message from my cousin Gayle who was visiting her friend in NH and let me know that Mom's shawl that she chose was keeping her warm. Love you Gayle! My childhood friend Maribeth has shared a few photos of things her family has found when cleaning out her parents' attic- costumes and things my mom made. It was sweet of her to send me those photos so we could reminisce. I finally got to join Beth's Karaoke Night Zoom (part of the Love in Stitches Membership). Dad is recovering from a back injury but doing better. We successfully moved my grandmother into the Memory Care side of the independent living home she's lived at for 5 years. Hope this will be a good fit for her. I got a massage this week!   Quote of the Week   "In November, the earth is growing quiet. It is making its bed, a winter bed for flowers and small creatures.

In its duration, geographical reach, and ferocity, World War II was unprecedented, and the effects on those who fought it and their loved ones at home, immeasurable. The heroism of the men and women who won the war may be well documented, but we know too little about the pain and hardships veterans endured upon their return home. Drawing from veterans' memoirs, oral histories, and government documents, acclaimed historian David Nasaw illuminates a hidden chapter of American history—one of trauma, resilience, and a country in transition in THE WOUNDED GENERATION: Coming Home After World War II. Nearly 16.4 million Americans served in the U.S. Armed Forces in World War II. This book “is an account of the aftereffects that lived on in the bodies, hearts, and minds of those who fought, those who awaited their return, and the nation that had won the war but had now to readjust to peace.”As Nasaw makes evident, the veterans who returned to America were not the same people as those who had left for war, and the nation to which they came back was not the one they left behind. Contrary to the prevailing narratives of triumph, here are the largely unacknowledged realities the veterans—and the nation—faced, radically reshaping our understanding of this era as a bridge to today, as we mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.Nasaw presents a complicated portrait of those who brought the war home with them, among whom were the period's most influential political and cultural leaders, including John F. Kennedy, Robert Dole, and Henry Kissinger; J. D. Salinger and Kurt Vonnegut; Harry Belafonte and Jimmy Stewart. In The Wounded Generation, Nasaw illustrates the indelible stories of veterans and their loved ones as they confronted the aftershocks of World War II.David Nasaw is a historian, two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, and bestselling author of The Last Million, named a best book of the year by NPR, Kirkus Reviews, and History Today; The Patriarch, a New York Times Five Best Non-Fiction Books of the Year; Andrew Carnegie, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and the winner of the American History Book Prize; and The Chief, winner of the Bancroft Prize. He was the Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. Professor of History at the CUNY Graduate Center and the president of the Society of American Historians.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers Trump's new work requirements for welfare recipients, job losses from the AI revolution, major trade developments with China, new drone defenses for the Pacific, and the growing risks of a satellite disaster in orbit. Work for Welfare Begins: Starting tomorrow, able-bodied adults ages 18 to 65 without dependents must work at least 80 hours a month to receive food aid under Trump's "Triple B Bill." Exemptions include parents of young children and residents in areas with high unemployment. Bryan warns that states managing these programs may soon raise local taxes to offset new administrative costs. AI Cuts Human Jobs: Amazon and other major tech firms are laying off software engineers as AI begins writing code and automating support work. Bryan calls it "a quiet industrial revolution that's going to reshape America's middle class for decades." Trump and Xi Trade Gains and Tensions: China agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans this season, with promises to expand purchases later if relations hold steady. But Xi refused to curb Russian oil imports, signaling Beijing's intent to prolong the war in Ukraine. New U.S. Drone System — The X-BAT: A cutting-edge drone platform called the X-BAT can launch vertically, operate without runways, and land itself like a reusable rocket. Bryan calls it "a game-changer for a future war in the Pacific." A Coming Satellite Crisis: With 100,000 satellites expected in orbit by 2030, experts warn of potential collisions and cascading debris — the "Kessler Syndrome." Bryan explains how one accident could take down global communications and cripple modern life. Venezuela Airstrikes Under Review: Trump is considering airstrikes against Venezuelan drug ports and airfields tied to the Cartel de los Soles. Analysts believe the move could topple Nicolás Maduro and restore democracy under opposition leader María Corina Machado. Europe's Migration Backlash: Germany and Sweden face outrage over migrant crime after courts refused to deport rapists from Eritrea. Bryan highlights how "suicidal empathy" — compassion that undermines security — is destabilizing Western nations. Ukraine's Strain and Russia's Weakness: Russia cut interest rates to ease its stagnant economy while Ukraine faces mass draft dodging as 100,000 young men flee to Europe. Trump responded by reducing U.S. troop levels in Romania to refocus on the Pacific and Latin America. Crisis in Mali: Al Qaeda rebels have surrounded Mali's capital as the U.S. orders citizens to evacuate. Bryan warns that Ukraine's secret aid to jihadist groups could backfire and lead to a new Taliban-style regime in West Africa. Listener Mail — The Morality of Espionage: Bryan answers questions about ethics inside the CIA, sharing personal reflections on moral judgment, mentorship, and the gray zones of intelligence work. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Trump welfare work requirements Triple B Bill, Amazon AI job cuts software layoffs, Trump Xi China soybean trade, X-BAT drone vertical launch defense, Kessler Syndrome satellite collision risk, Venezuela airstrike Cartel de los Soles, Germany Sweden migrant crime backlash, Russia Ukraine draft exodus Romania troops, Mali AQ ISIS rebellion evacuation, CIA morality ethics Bryan Dean Wright
