WAKE UP AMERICA, RISE AND FREEDOM. The left did not just change adoption policy. It burned down the most effective child welfare infrastructure in American history and called it progress. Faith-based agencies with decades of track records, waiting lists of qualified Christian families, and placement rates the government could never replicate were given a simple choice: violate your beliefs or disappear. Most of them disappeared. Three thousand children in Illinois alone were displaced. Not because the agencies failed the kids. Because the ideology failed to tolerate anyone who disagreed with it. Today we ask the question the mainstream press refuses to print: if this was really about the children, why did the children pay the price? And the Swalwell collapse is not slowing down. It is accelerating. Five accusers. A formal criminal investigation in Los Angeles County. A forensic analysis placing him in a Las Vegas hotel room at five in the morning. An Ethics Committee probe he resigned just ahead of. And standing next to all of it, freshly scrubbed and deeply saddened, is Ruben Gallego -- the man who called Swalwell his best friend in the world in November, defended him publicly in April, and only discovered his conscience the afternoon CNN published four women's accounts. We are done treating that timeline as complicated. It is not complicated. It is a portrait of how Democratic power protects itself until the moment it cannot.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Rep Eric Swalwell is resigning from the House of Representatives and dropped out of his race for Governor amid mounting sexual assault allegations. Reporters say that Swalwell's behavior was known – if that's the case why wasn't it reported?  This points to a long-standing cover-up by elected Democrats, party operatives, and elements of the media, who continued to support and promote Swalwell despite the allegations. Swalwell was protected by Democrats and the media.  Jonathan Turley calls in and expresses suspicion over the rapid fall of Swalwell, who went from leading Democratic candidate for California governor one week to facing criminal and nanny investigations, plus an expedited Ethics Committee probe the next. He pointed to Democratic discomfort with Swalwell potentially running in California's jungle primary, where two Republicans currently lead, raising fears of a Republican vs. Republican general election. Also, the Democrats repeatedly invoke the 25th Amendment, knowing the media will amplify it to create a hostile environment for the president, even though the Vice President and Cabinet will not act. The Democrats who falsely claims Congress can invoke the 25th Amendment are ignorant.  Their push to remove President Trump by any means—25th Amendment, impeachment, or resignation—reveals their hypocrisy, as they once covered up Biden's incapacity. Later, Zohran Mamdani says he'll fight for the many, but not the few—what does that even mean? Capitalism created automobiles, the greatest medical system on earth, air conditioning, heating, housing for the vast majority of Americans, and fully stocked food stores. Socialism created nothing; it is not in the business of wealth creation, economic growth, or innovation—only control and redistribution of wealth.  Democrats pretend to be the champion of the many but actually hate them, as shown by open borders and refusal to deport criminal illegal aliens.

William Henry Seward and the Secession Winter (November 1860 – April 1861) The lively tale of a politically fraught era 165 years in the past and yet highly relevant today. In the winter of 1860-61, one man, William Henry Seward, Republican Senator from New York (the presumptive favorite for the 1860 Republican nomination for president; defeated by Lincoln on the third ballot), labored mightily to effectuate his plan to save the Union. Because of history's (and historians') heavy bias to portray Lincoln as almost a saint (see, for example, Jon Meacham's “And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle” (Random House 2022)), Seward's prodigious efforts have either been ignored, given short shrift, or looked upon as something less than honorable. This short book – based upon original archival research and a comprehensive review of secondary sources – tells the story of Seward's efforts. Counter-factual history is always an iffy business. But Seward's “plan” did help to keep the Upper South States in the Union during the months before the president-elect became the president. And had his counsel been followed after March 4th, perhaps the course of American History would have played out very differently.

In hour one, Clay gets real about his own financial comeback story — going from rock bottom after divorce, bankruptcy, a repo, and credit scores in the 500s all the way up to a rock-solid 705. He breaks down exactly how he did it with practical, no-fluff steps: secured loans and credit cards, paying down debt strategically, keeping utilization low, and the patience and discipline it actually takes. If you've ever felt stuck in the credit trap, this is the roadmap that proves anyone can climb out.   Hour two features special guest Andrew Gasser for a hard-hitting look at Mississippi primary election day. The guys break down the key races (especially District 2), why beating incumbents is so damn hard, the congressional sexual harassment settlement slush fund now headed to the Ethics Committee, the ridiculous Senate pet parade that took priority over the Save Act, and explosive details on lobbyists cutting secret deals for kickbacks on traffic-camera ticket revenue in Ocean Springs and beyond.

And the victims deserve more than headlines and non-answers.We're asking hard questions about leadership, responsibility, and why justice still feels so out of reach.

In a collaborative podcast with the American Psychosocial Oncology Society hosted by Daniel C. McFarland, DO, guests Louis P. Voigt, MD, and Yesne Alici, MD, discussed the ethical and clinical complexities of assessing decision-making capacity (DMC) in oncology, emphasizing its role as the ethical core of person-centered care. The discussion began by dissecting modern medicine's need for formal DMC assessment. Voigt framed DMC as a fundamental issue of patient rights and respect, asserting that every human being has absolute rights and that the integrity of a person requires honoring their self-determination. He advocated for clinicians to act as professionals, earn trust, customize their approach based on individual needs through precision medicine, and demonstrate humility by re-explaining information when a patient cannot summarize their understanding. Alici provided a detailed clinical framework for DMC, defining it as a person's ability to decide on the specific issue at hand while appreciating the foreseeable consequences. She outlined the 4 key elements, or pillars, of the assessment: the patient's ability to understand the information, to appreciate the risks and benefits, to provide a rationalization for the decision to ensure no delusional thinking interferes, and to communicate a consistent choice. She clarified that DMC is decision-specific and time-dependent, emphasizing that conditions like dementia, schizophrenia, major depression, or even a central nervous system malignancy do not automatically mean a patient lacks capacity; it must be assessed for each situation and may be restored if cases like delirium are reversible. She cautioned that clinicians must be mindful of potential mislabeling when patients with aphasia interact, as simple gestures may not fully represent informed consent. Finally, the experts addressed the crucial implications that follow an assessment of incapacity. Voigt highlighted that a lack of DMC is not a "stop sign"; decisions must still be made, requiring the health care team to look to a designated proxy or the patient's next-of-kin. He stressed the need for hospitals to establish system-wide processes and workflows to prepare all stakeholders for these contingencies and help patients become familiar with advanced directives, thereby reducing the immense emotional burden placed on surrogates who must perform substituted judgment. McFarland concluded that being aware of DMC elevates the quality of care, reinforces an ethical climate, and enhances the entire organization. McFarland is the director of the Psycho-Oncology Program at Wilmot Cancer Center and a medical oncologist who specializes in head, neck, and lung cancer, in addition to being a psycho-oncology editorial advisory board member for the journal ONCOLOGY. Voigt is an intensivist and chair of the Ethics Committee at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Alici is vice chair of Clinical Operations in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, clinical director, associate attending psychiatrist, and medical director of the Biobehavioral Health Clinic at MSKCC.

During their regular session earlier this year, North Dakota lawmakers formed its own version of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. It's a task force, as opposed to a department, and state Auditor Josh Gallion, who is participating in the meetings, said they've been calling it TOGE to avoid confusion with the federal efforts. But it's been making good progress, including reviewing a big problem the state has when it comes to implementing policy. Namely, that nobody bothers to define what the success of that policy might look like. "I think what we learned a lot was we don't have performance measures," Gallion said on this episode of Plain Talk. He pointed out that the state often creates things, like economic development programs aimed at creating jobs or drawing workers to the state, without any sort of a mechanism for measuring how many jobs were created, or how many workers were inspired to move here. "Is the money that we're putting into these programs, are they achieving desirable results? You know, if we're going to put a million dollars into a workforce program, is it affecting change? Is it moving the needle? Are we bringing workforce in? And how do we calculate some of that?" he asked. Gallion also addressed controversy over an audit of Stark County. The report from his office concluded that the county government was breaking state law capping general fund carry-over balances at no more than 75% of the previous year's revenues. That report also included a response from the county that said "we agree" with the finding, only the county says that Gallion's office added those words, and they didn't agree to it. "We wanted them to state we agree or disagree," Gallion said. "That should be the beginning of every response." He also claimed that the change was made only after consultation with Stark County, though a quote from the county auditor indicated that she didn't expect her county's comments to be modified. "I wrote our responses to the audit for Stark County and I don't think they should have changed them," Stark County Auditor/Treasurer Karen Richard told the Dickinson Press, "but I do appreciate them clarifying why they changed the language." Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discuss the standoff between Gov. Kelly Armstrong, Senate Majority Leader David Hogue, and Senate Minority Leader Kathy Hogan over new appointments to the state Ethics Committee.

Based On True Crime Stories - "Cold Case Investigators Series" by Merrill VaughanFeatured Book - The Happy Paperhanger"   For over five years, an individual has been writing checks that do not have sufficient funds in the accounts. He is able to obtain state driver's licenses that he uses to open checking accounts with just enough money to keep the accounts open. He does not really steal other people's identification; he just makes up the names that he uses. For over five years, he has cost communities in Southern California thousands of dollars and has caused police departments to run in circles trying to catch him.That is, until one police department calls in the Cold Case Investigators to assist them. It is through a serious mistake on the part of the check writer that he is finally caught by one of the private investigators.Born in 1949, Merrill Vaughan spent his formative years in Monrovia and Duarte, California. He graduated from Duarte High School in 1967 and went on to attend Pasadena City College and Citrus Junior College, earning his degree in 1971.

In his new community of Pittsfield, he engaged in local governance, serving on committees such as the Budget Committee, Master Plan Committee, and as Chair of the Ethics Committee. In 2007, he was appointed as the town representative to the Concord Regional CrimeLine, a position he still holds.

He maintains connections with several former students.In 2008, Merrill pursued a lifelong dream by enrolling at Franklin Pierce University, where he graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree in General Studies. He now serves on the Franklin Pierce University Alumni Board of Directors.It was during his teaching career that Merrill began jotting down ideas for a potential short story. Over five years, these notes evolved into his first book, The Kidnapping, which has since become part of the Cold Case Investigators series, with a sequel titled The Happy Paper Hanger, and a new addition, The Prostitute Killer.Merrill resides in Pittsfield, NH, with his wife, Diane, and is continuing to write new additions to his series.AMAZONhttps://merrillvaughan.comhttps://www.ecpublishingllc.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/9425mvec.mp3    Other Books in the Cold Case Investigators SeriesCOLD CASE INVESTIGATORS: THE KIDNAPPINGCOLD CASE INVESTIGATORS: THE PROSTITUTE KILLERhttps://merrillvaughan.com/

Dr. Isaac Golden returns to share insights from his latest book Safe Immunization, Homeoprophylaxis and Vaccination: A 21st Century Solution. We talked about the rise of chronic illness in children, the hidden effects of vaccines that many parents don't recognize, and why he believes homeoprophylaxis offers a safe and effective alternative. Dr. Golden explained how studies support its use, the importance of parents making informed decisions without pressure, and how homeopathy has been applied in places like India during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also discussed his work with families seeking detox options for their children and how perceptions of health can often mask underlying issues. Episode Highlights: 05:06 - Reasons for writing new book on safe immunization 12:02 - Evidence for effectiveness of homeoprophylaxis 15:48 - Comparing chronic disease rates in vaccinated vs unvaccinated 20:24 - Relevance and timeliness of the new book 24:57 - Use of homeoprophylaxis in India during COV!D-19 29:37 - Genus epidemicus and homeoprophylaxis approaches 35:25 - Effectiveness of homeoprophylaxis remedies 38:52 - Criticism of "no jab, no pay" policies  41:44 - Dr. Golden's continued passion and vitality 44:55 - Detoxing apparently healthy children from vaccines 47:01 - Importance of rethinking health standards 54:06 - Overcoming skepticism about homeopathic immunization About my Guests: Dr. Isaac Golden, Ph.D., D.Hom., N.D., B.Ec.(Hon), has been a practicing homeopath since 1984 and is internationally recognized as a leading authority on homeoprophylaxis—the use of homeopathic medicines for disease prevention. After an early career in economics and taxation, he transitioned into natural medicine, where he has dedicated over four decades to clinical practice, research, and education. Dr. Golden served as President of the Victorian branch of the Australian Homoeopathic Association from 1992 to 1998, and in 1999 he was awarded the Association's Distinguished Service Award for his significant contributions to the profession in Australia. He has also been instrumental in homeopathic education, founding the Australasian College of Hahnemannian Homoeopathy and later the Homoeopathy International Online College, expanding access to quality training worldwide. A prolific author, Dr. Golden has written some of the most influential texts on homeopathy and homeoprophylaxis, including Vaccination & Homoeoprophylaxis? A Review of Risks and Alternatives, The Complete Practitioner's Manual of Homœoprophylaxis, and Vaccine Injured Children: A 21st Century Tragedy. His groundbreaking Ph.D. research at Swinburne University in 2004 was the first time a mainstream Australian university accepted a thesis on homeoprophylaxis, marking a historic step for the field. In his clinical practice, Dr. Golden specializes in chronic disease and the treatment of vaccine-injured children, particularly those on the autism spectrum. Currently, he continues his work as Deputy Chair and Research Advisor to the National Institute of Integrative Medicine's Ethics Committee, advancing integrative approaches to health and disease prevention.

Dr. Rajetha Damisetty explains how the entry of unqualified practitioners and a lack of regulatory oversight is impacting patient safety when it comes to skin and hair procedures being performed in India. The wellness sector is booming in India. Aesthetic, skin and hair clinics are everywhere, social media feeds are filled with advertisements and procedures such as hair transplants, skin lightening, botox and others are becoming increasingly common. In a few cases that have been reported in the news however, some of these treatments have gone horribly wrong – in May this year, two men from Kanpur died after botched hair transplants and another man in Kerala contracted a serious bacterial infection. Experts say that the problem is the lack of regulatory oversight – who is supposed to be able to perform these procedures and who is actually performing them in India? Are clinics where these procedures take place fully licensed and equipped to deal with emergencies? Are misleading claims and exaggerated advertisements contributing to the problem? And what is being done to ensure patient safety? Guest: Rajetha Damisetty, a senior dermatologist based in Hyderabad and national chairperson of the Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL) Anti-Quackery, Legal and Ethics Committee.

Based On True Crime Stories - "Cold Case Investigators Series" by Merrill VaughanFeatured Book - The Happy Paperhanger"   For over five years, an individual has been writing checks that do not have sufficient funds in the accounts. He is able to obtain state driver's licenses that he uses to open checking accounts with just enough money to keep the accounts open. He does not really steal other people's identification; he just makes up the names that he uses. For over five years, he has cost communities in Southern California thousands of dollars and has caused police departments to run in circles trying to catch him.That is, until one police department calls in the Cold Case Investigators to assist them. It is through a serious mistake on the part of the check writer that he is finally caught by one of the private investigators.Born in 1949, Merrill Vaughan spent his formative years in Monrovia and Duarte, California. He graduated from Duarte High School in 1967 and went on to attend Pasadena City College and Citrus Junior College, earning his degree in 1971. Shortly after, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force on November 26, 1971, serving at various stateside bases and completing multiple overseas assignments in Thailand, Greece, Hawaii, Germany, Denmark, and Honduras. Merrill retired in June 1993 and transitioned to work with the State of Wyoming's Human Resources Division for three years.Despite facing disabilities that prevented him from returning to work, Merrill remained actively involved with several veterans organizations until his move to New Hampshire in 2004. In his new community of Pittsfield, he engaged in local governance, serving on committees such as the Budget Committee, Master Plan Committee, and as Chair of the Ethics Committee. In 2007, he was appointed as the town representative to the Concord Regional CrimeLine, a position he still holds. Additionally, Merrill became a substitute teacher at the local middle and high school, teaching various subjects until his retirement in 2020. He maintains connections with several former students.In 2008, Merrill pursued a lifelong dream by enrolling at Franklin Pierce University, where he graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree in General Studies. He now serves on the Franklin Pierce University Alumni Board of Directors.It was during his teaching career that Merrill began jotting down ideas for a potential short story. Over five years, these notes evolved into his first book, The Kidnapping, which has since become part of the Cold Case Investigators series, with a sequel titled The Happy Paper Hanger, and a new addition, The Prostitute Killer.Merrill resides in Pittsfield, NH, with his wife, Diane, and is continuing to write new additions to his series.AMAZONhttps://merrillvaughan.comhttps://www.ecpublishingllc.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/9425mvec.mp3    Other Books in the Cold Case Investigators SeriesCOLD CASE INVESTIGATORS: THE KIDNAPPINGCOLD CASE INVESTIGATORS: THE PROSTITUTE KILLERhttps://merrillvaughan.com/

A long-time nonprofit leader, consultant, and recovering academic, Pat has made it her mission to teach nonprofit leaders and everyday people how to create change through the legislative process.  She is the author of The Empowered Citizens Guide and The Lobbying Strategy Handbook — funny, relatable books written for anyone who sees a glaring injustice or community-wide problem and wants to scream, “There ought to be law!” but doesn't know how to make it happen. Pat makes conducting a successful grassroots lobbying campaign seem relatively painless by sharing her easy-to-follow formula and pulling the curtain back on things we think we should know but don't. The books are illustrated by real-life examples of people who used her 10-step strategy to pass laws, and contain detailed information on the rules governing nonprofit lobbying.

We know that the House Ethics Committee found "substantial evidence" that Matt Gaetz engaged in misconduct in multiple ways. But there are other questions to be answered:1. Did Gaetz get a full opportunity to tell the Ethics Committee his side of the story?2. Why did the committee stop short of sanctioning Gaetz?3. What of the Department of Justice investigation of Gaetz which resulted in no charges being filed?If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tonight on The ReidOut, we lead with a statement from Ethics Committee member Glenn Ivey, who discusses Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's initial pick for U.S. attorney general, and the bombshell Ethics Committee report, which is as bad and revolting as anticipated.

Plus, President Biden makes history by commuting nearly all federal death sentences. Listen now.

On Wednesday, a bipartisan House ethics panel investigating sexual misconduct claims against former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) voted not to release its report. The panel was scheduled to meet last week to discuss making the report public but changed course after Gaetz resigned from Congress following President-elect Trump announcing him as his pick for attorney general. The Ethics Committee customarily does not release a report if a member leaves office (with some exceptions). Gaetz has denied all wrongdoing.

They conduct investigations behind closed doors and generally avoid sharing details outside of finalized reports. The probe of former Rep. Gaetz is straining those norms.

Chiropractor to Congress, Supreme Court, and the White House, Parker University's Seventh President, Active Texas Chiropractic Association Member, and proud Texan Dr. Morgan has a long history of serving in military healthcare. At age 17, he joined the Navy and served with a Marine Recon company as a special operations technician hospital corpsman. During that time, he qualified in parachuting, military diving, submarine insertion, jungle warfare, combat swimming, explosives, mountaineering, winter warfare and Arctic survival. Additionally, he attended anti-terrorist training at the FBI Academy. After leaving active military service and transferring to the Navy Reserves, Dr. Morgan began his educational journey to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. While at Palmer College of Chiropractic-West, he transferred to a Naval Special Warfare platoon as the unit's primary hospital corpsman. In 1985, Dr. Morgan received his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic–West and soon after, married fellow Palmer graduate, Clare Pelkey. They practiced for thirteen years in California. In 1998, Dr. Morgan was chosen to establish the first chiropractic clinic at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, which later became Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. In 2015, Walter Reed recognized Dr. Morgan with its highest honor for clinical excellence, the Master Clinician's Award. During the last 18 years at the military's most prestigious medical centers, he practiced in an integrative setting, providing chiropractic care to the injured troops returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the year 2000, Dr. Morgan was appointed as the Chiropractor to Congress at the U.S. Capitol. At the Office of the Attending Physician to Congress, doctors of many specialties care for members of Congress and the Supreme Court. In 2007, Dr. Morgan began serving as the White House Chiropractor. He was appointed chiropractor for the United States Naval Academy football team in 2009 (which never lost to Army while under his care). In 2011, Dr. Morgan was appointed to the United States Navy Musculoskeletal Continuum of Care Advisory Board, an entity created to address the prevalent injuries sustained by U.S. Armed Forces Personnel during active-duty operations. Dr. Morgan also served on the Spine Subcommittee, which helps develop care algorithms for treating spinal conditions and determining the future of musculoskeletal management in the U.S. Armed Forces. Upon arriving in Texas, he became an active member and supporter of the Texas Chiropractic Association (TCA). Almost immediately, he organized a leadership summit to establish a legislative agenda strategy for chiropractors in Texas. Texas Chiropractors had not won a significant legislative victory in two decades, but in 2017 four bills advantageous to the chiropractic profession passed. Additionally, Morgan has assisted in fundraising, membership recruitment, and awareness for the TCA. As lifetime member of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), he has also held several leadership positions in the organization and continues to serve on the Advisory Board and Ethics Committee. He is also a board member of the Association of Chiropractic Colleges. Dr. Morgan is the recipient of many prestigious awards, namely: The American Chiropractic Association Chairman's Award of Valor, 2003 Chiropractor of the Year from the American Chiropractic Association, 2003 Doctor of Laws, L.L.D. (honoris causa), National University of Health Sciences, 2004 Master Clinician Award, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, 2015 The Keeler Plaque: “Chiropractor of the Year” awarded by the Texas Chiropractic Association in 2018 TCA President's Award, 2019-2020 2022 Congressional Veteran Commendation for the Twenty-Fourth Congressional District of Texas Work with RAPID Health Optimization Anders Varner on Instagram Doug Larson on Instagram Coach Travis Mash on Instagram
