A year into President Donald Trump's second term, the state and fate of the American Republic is uncertain and precarious.  At home, an unprecedented expansion of presidential power has undermined norms and institutions and threatened democratic governance. American politics remain polarized, taking on a tribal and personal character with disagreements often cast as struggles between good and bad. And abroad, the administration's pursuit of an “America first” policy has undermined the trust of traditional allies and opened up opportunities for U.S. adversaries.What can Americans expect from the next three years of the Trump administration? What should allies be preparing for given an increasingly expansionist and aggressive U.S. foreign policy? And what are the obligations and responsibilities of citizens during these difficult times?  Join Aaron David Miller as he engages Pulitzer Prize winning author and The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman on these and other issues, on the next Carnegie Connects.

This is the chapter where the battle finally breaks out. This is where Absalom's fate is sealed, and its the chapter where David's heart is broken. But beyond the heartbreak is something deeper: The faithfulness of God, the weight of choices, and the cost of rebellion. 1. The Battle Begins.  2. Absalom's Fate' 3. David's Grief. So, let's walk through a chapter filled with conflict, compassion, and consequences. A chapter that reminds us that leadership is sometimes costly, and the heart of God is always more tender than we imagine....

Author Melissa de la Cruz joined us at our headquarters to discuss her new romantasy, Rings of Fate. With nearly 90 books under her belt, she imparted wisdom on crafting flawed heroes, pitching a "sexy Lord of the Rings" to your publisher, and why brooding isn't always better.  Cynical barmaid Aren Bellamore never saw herself as anyone's princess, least of all a cursed prince's prince's fiancée. But after a fake engagement draws her into a dangerous quest to save their kingdoms, she must face magic, monsters, and some very inconvenient feelings.  Get Rings of Fate at bookofthemonth.com.

Jonathan Horn's latest book is titled "The Fate of the Generals: MacArthur, Wainwright, and the Epic Battle for the Philippines." The publisher Scribner explains the premise of Horn's book: "For the doomed stand American forces made in the Philippines at the start of World War II, two generals received the country's highest military award, the Medal of Honor. One was the charismatic Douglas MacArthur whose orders forced him to leave his troops and go to Australia. The other was the gritty Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright who became a hero to the troops whose fate he insisted on sharing." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

An individual "is responsible for everything he does," claimed Sartre. And from criminal justice to creative expression, free will and responsibility are central to our culture and our personal lives. Yet neuroscientists and materialist thinkers commonly maintain that freedom is an illusion. And it remains unknown how the core principles of freedom and responsibility can be reconciled with this outlook. Many attempts have been made to argue that the two seemingly contradictory frameworks can be made compatible. But critics say these "compatibilist" arguments are unconvincing and are driven merely by the attempt to make scientific materialism acceptable. Furthermore, whilst surveys suggest most materialist philosophers believe we can reconcile the two, the majority of us reject the idea that an action can be both determined and free.Paul Bloom is a Canadian-American psychologist, bestselling author, and celebrated speaker.

Who was James Smithson, and why did this Englishman want to give his fortune to the U.S., a country that England had just lost a war to?And don't worry, this does tie back to our people. We're looking at how the founders of this country decided our fate with a propaganda machine disguised as a scientific institute for higher learning for all men. It's about the "dictionary" they built to tell the world we were disappearing, and the struggle we face today trying to convince people we're still here after 200 years of being told we're gone.So sit back and enjoy this wild ride of Nightmares of the Americas: Indigenous Tales.Nightmares of the americas and the behill network are teaming up with the long hairs.

Christian Esguerra sits down with Rep. Jinky Luistro, chairwoman of the House justice committee.

Breaking it all down live: Nick Reiner was under a court-ordered LPS conservatorship in 2020. A judge found him "gravely disabled." A licensed fiduciary—Steven Baer—controlled his treatment decisions. He could be forced into a locked psychiatric facility against his will. California gave the Reiners everything the law allows. One year later, it was gone. Four years later, Rob and Michele Reiner are dead.The loophole nobody's discussing: under California law, if a family provides food, clothing, and shelter for a mentally ill loved one, that person may no longer meet the "gravely disabled" standard. The very act of caring for your child can disqualify them from forced treatment. The Reiners may have lost legal authority over their son's care because they refused to abandon him.We're examining the timeline in detail: 2019 police calls to the Reiner home. Nick's reported schizophrenia diagnosis around 2020. The conservatorship that lasted just one year. The medication change approximately one month before the killings that sources say triggered a "complete break from reality." And we're breaking down why former conservator Steven Baer will almost certainly be called as a witness—what he knows, what he'll likely testify to, and how it affects Nick's defense.This case forces a larger conversation. Before 1967, families could petition courts to hospitalize psychotic relatives. California's Lanterman-Petris-Short Act dismantled that system. The state went from housing 37,000 patients in psychiatric hospitals to fewer than 1,500 people on involuntary conservatorships today. The Reiners reportedly tried everything—more than a dozen facilities, the best doctors money could buy. None of it mattered because families cannot initiate conservatorships. Only hospital staff can.Join us live as we ask the question nobody wants to answer: did we trade one form of cruelty for another?#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #LPSConservatorship #HiddenKillersLive #StevenBaer #Deinstitutionalization #CaliforniaLaw #LiveBreakdown #SystemFailureJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bitcoin is increasingly being shaped not just by markets, but by policy, as regulators around the world split into six distinct regulatory paths that could dramatically alter adoption, capital flows, and innovation. From Washington's stalled legislation and shifting SEC–CFTC dynamics to global divergence between enforcement-heavy regimes and innovation-friendly frameworks, today's stories highlight a growing reality: regulatory clarity is becoming a competitive advantage.

The distorted and abstract videos that Maurice Clayborn sent to The Austin Art Museum do not paint a clear picture of the artist's intentions. They're creepy, seemingly disjointed, but are they trying to communicate anything? In a word of signs, symbols and clues, Exorcist Saint Garcia Flores and Man in Black Alister McAndrews may be facing their most confounding challenge yet: Interpretive Art. Experimental artist Maurice Clayborn has dropped contact with his employer and retreated to his home studio complex in the Texas Hills. After receiving a series of threatening messages from the artist and losing a few staff to the gates of Waterfalls at Dawn, the museum director recruits Saint and Alister to track down the artist and get his creative spree to stop.

We break down the specifics of Juliana's plea agreement, including the reduced charge to voluntary manslaughter (max 10 years) and the prosecution's recommendation of "time served" contingent on her continued cooperation. The judge, however, has the final say. The defense revealed that Brendan Banfield's mother paid for Juliana's attorney until she signed the plea deal—a key detail suggesting pressure and raising questions of ethical conflict.

In episode 519 of the podcast I'm joined by astrologer Reverend Lindsay Turner to discuss the story of the Magi, the birth of Jesus, and the astrology surrounding the Nativity story. We explore the celebration of Epiphany, also known as Three Kings Day, and analyze the Gospel of Matthew's account of the astrologers from the East who followed a star to Bethlehem. We discuss the distinction between approaching the Nativity as a historical event versus a literary narrative, and how the author of Matthew partially used the story of the Magi to legitimize Jesus as a king in the 1st century. We also look at technical astrological terms found in the Greek text, such as anatole or "at its rising," and how this relates to Hellenistic astrology. We also talk about the relationship between early Christianity and astrology, including the non-canonical Acts of Paul and Thecla, the liturgical seasons aligning with the Zodiac, and how modern Christians can reconcile their faith with astrological practice.

This week on The Normal Nerds Podcast, we run the ultimate Weekly Anime Recap, breaking down 9 major anime episodes in one packed episode — covering action, lore, animation quality, power systems, character arcs, and some absolutely wild storytelling choices across the current anime season.We kick things off with Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Episode 3, diving into the Culling Game rules, Tengen's role, Kenjaku's plan, and why this episode sparked backlash online despite being crucial to the story. Is JJK being unfairly criticized — or is the pacing actually an issue?From there, we explore the return of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2, breaking down why this series continues to deliver emotional storytelling, elite animation, and worldbuilding that few modern anime can touch.But this episode goes far beyond just two shows.We also review and react to:Hell's Paradise Season 2 and its brutal fights, Tao mechanics, and character consequencesFire Force Season 3 Part 2, including frustrations with animation quality and Adolla's expanding influenceFate/strange Fake, with insane fights, Holy Grail War chaos, and Fate lore at full throttleMy Hero Academia: Vigilantes, spotlighting quirk evolution, underground hero politics, and All Might's presenceAlong the way, we debate:Which anime are peaking right nowWhich shows are quietly slippingHow animation quality affects storytellingWhy some fandoms turn on episodes that focus on lore instead of fightsIf you're watching seasonal anime, catching weekly episodes, or deciding what's actually worth your time, this episode is a full-season checkpoint with honest takes, deep dives, and zero filter.Support the show

For Such a Time as This | A Sermon on Fate, Calling, and Courage In this sermon, we reflect on For Such a Time as This and the enduring human question of how we discover our purpose in a world shaped by forces we did not choose—and what it means to respond when a moment of moral clarity and courage is placed before us. This sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Lewis Galloway on January 18, 2026, at First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte, on the Second Sunday after Epiphany. The scripture readings for this message are Romans 12:9–21 and Esther 4:1–17. January 18, 2026 Bulletin Drawing from the story of Queen Esther, this sermon explores the difference between fate—the circumstances we are born into or find ourselves in—and destiny—the calling we discover when we listen for God's voice and choose to act. Esther's story becomes a lens for our own time, when silence, comfort, or going with the flow can feel easier than risk, truth, or faithfulness. In this message, we explore: The tension between fate and God-given purpose How calling often emerges in moments of crisis The courage to speak and act for the sake of others What it means to live a transformed life shaped by love, justice, and hope Whether you are joining us from Charlotte or beyond, this sermon offers a thoughtful and timely invitation to listen for what God is asking of us—not in some abstract future, but here and now, in the world as it is. Subscribe for sermons, reflections, and stories from First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte. Topics: Esther sermon, for such a time as this, Christian calling, courage and faith, Romans 12, purpose and destiny, discipleship, Christian ethics

Yesterday's show from the DLD conference was about the need for Europe to relearn the language of power. Today, things get even more dire for our European friends. I asked another DLD speaker, Carl Benedikt Frey, a Swedish economic historian who teaches at Oxford, whether it's “game over” for Europe in terms of its ability to compete with American and Chinese big tech. His answer: not yet—but close. Frey's last book, shortlisted for the 2025 Financial Times business book of the year, is entitled How Progress Ends: Technology, Innovation and the Fate of Nations. But it's specifically Europe's economic progress and the fate of European nations that most concerns Frey. Unless Europeans create a true single market for services, he warns, it really could be the end of the European dream of continent-wide progress. So no more crossroads for a continent perennially at a crossroads. And that single market, Frey explains, is ultimately a matter of political rather than economic will.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

We dive into the first-ever Justice League America / Justice League Europe crossover, a landmark story that also kicks off Adam Hughes' legendary run on JLA. These issues feature the debut of Fire and Ice's iconic looks (although Fire's is basically regular clothes, two sizes too small), the Huntress and a new female Doctor Fate joining the team, appearances by the Spectre and Superman, the return of the Gray Man, and the introduction of Justice League's deadliest villain… Irwin Teasdale (actually, no). Along the way, we tackle the eternal question: is Batman a jerk, or not? These exciting issues (JLA #31–32 and JLE #7–9) by the incredible creative teams of Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, Adam Hughes, Bart Sears, William Messner-Loebs, and Art Nichols.

Have you ever felt anxious about admitting you're doing better? Like saying "I'm okay" out loud might somehow jinx your progress or tempt fate?In this episode, Drew and Josh explore that uncomfortable feeling when someone asks "How are you doing?" and you're caught between wanting to acknowledge improvement and being afraid that talking about it will make everything fall apart again.What we discuss:Why the question "How are you?" can feel triggering when you're recovering from an anxiety disorderThe superstition around "tempting fate" and what's really happening beneath itHow different contexts change what we mean by "doing okay" (spoiler: anxiety can be present while you're still doing okay)The authenticity trap - feeling like you're lying either wayWhy "I'm doing okay at the moment" might be the most honest answer you can giveHow this fear shows up in OCD, health anxiety, panic disorder, and agoraphobiaThe difference between attention-driven fear and superstitious fearWhy letting go of control can feel like tempting fate (and why that's exactly the practice)Featured segments:Community "Did It Anyway" stories highlighting real progress without promising outcomesDiscussion of how exposures work when they feel risky or recklessPractical suggestions for navigating social questions about your wellbeingThis episode may be helpful for anyone struggling with the fear of acknowledging improvement, or who finds themselves avoiding conversations about their anxiety recovery.---The Disordered Guide to Health Anxiety is now available.

Thomas Paine arrived in America in 1774 with little to his name and a long record of personal failure behind him. Within a year, he wrote Common Sense, one of the most influential political pamphlets in history, helping to ignite the American Revolution and catapulting Paine into the American history hall of fame. But by the end of his life, he was widely reviled, politically isolated, and personally abandoned. Once celebrated as the voice of liberty, he died an outcast, mourned by only six people at his funeral. How does one man become the voice of the American Revolution and end up forgotten? To explore Paine's complicated legacy, we are joined by Richard Bell, professor of history at the University of Maryland and author of The American Revolution and the Fate of the World.

The show kicks off with a look at the future of golf as the crew breaks down TGL (The Golf League), a high-tech, studio-based version of the sport where players tee off into massive simulator screens that recreate real courses. It’s a whole new way to play — and watch — golf. The crew reminds listeners to follow @ConwayShow on social media and subscribe on YouTube at Official Tim Conway Jr. before diving into a shocking airline story involving ground crew members reportedly trapped in a baggage compartment on a commercial flight. Pop culture takes over as talk turns to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift wedding rumors, Taylor Swift’s chart dominance with “The Fate of Ophelia” becoming her first 10-week No. 1, and why kids today seem to know classic music better than ever. Conway shares his longtime love for Tom Petty along the way. The hour wraps with a bigger-picture conversation about whether Happy Hour is officially dead, as changing work schedules and evolving work-life rhythms reshape how — and when — people unwind.
