What if you could be taken from your home, imprisoned without a trial, with no hope of getting out or seeing your family again, and labeled a criminal? This isn't a dystopian novel. It's Kilmar Abrego Garcia's reality. In this episode (part 2 of 2), Justin Yentes is joined again by attorney Doug Passon and former gang member Angel Garcia to discuss this case. They uncover how due process is being systematically dismantled in America under the weight of fear, political agendas, and gang labels. This conversation goes far beyond one man's story, it's a warning about what happens when we allow fear to override justice, and how quietly constitutional protections can disappear.Key Topics:Immigrants, legal and illegal, are protected under our Constitution.Firsthand stories of fear, isolation, and dehumanization behind bars.Fear, racism, and "Great Replacement" conspiracies fuel attacks on civil liberties.Detainees in El Salvador are forced to work in brutal, unpaid conditions.When laws are broken for one group, no one's rights are secure.This episode is a wake-up call. If we let fear-driven policies unravel our commitment to due process, we lose what makes our democracy worth defending.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave SmithHost: David SmithGuest: Spirited JourneyIn this introspective and energizing episode, Dave and returning guest Spirited Journey dive into the emerging renaissance in psychology—fueled by the return of serious studies on psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin, and ketamine. The duo explores how these substances are not only reshaping our understanding of mental health, but also how ancient and alternative methods like holotropic breathwork may hold just as much power for healing and transformation.Spirited Journey shares personal stories of out-of-body experiences through breathwork, inspired by Dr. Stanislav Grof's techniques. The conversation evolves into a powerful reflection on vulnerability, spiritual experiences, and how science is beginning to catch up to what shamans and spiritual healers have practiced for millennia.Listeners chime in with messages on safe spaces, gender identity, and how to best support marginalized communities while still advocating for human rights universally.

“When I was growing up, my family was never really much involved in parish life other than attending Mass on Sunday and Holy Days. As kids, we attended Religious Ed – back then it was called CCD.“As far as living out a life of faith in the context of service, I don't recall doing much of that. Things were different back in the 60s and 70s.  It was only after I had a re-conversion to my faith in the early 1980s, did I come to the realization that service was at the heart of my baptismal call.”This video is part of Bishop Robert Gruss' Lenten series on six spiritual practices that will deepen our relationship with the Lord, helping us to live more fully the life the Lord seeks to give us – as a way of personal encounter.

Effectively and efficiently responding to humanitarian crises is one of the things the United Nations and its partners in the NGO community do best. Over the years, they have gotten very good at saving lives. This system is now under unprecedented strain due to the Trump administration's decision to freeze foreign aid and dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development. These cuts are being felt across hundreds of NGOs. So, for today's episode, I wanted to dig deep into what these funding cuts mean for one long-standing humanitarian organization: the NGO Relief International. I'm joined by Relief International's CEO, Craig Redmond, who explains the difficult choices his organization is making as it responds to massive funding cuts. He details how these cuts are impacting not only the people Relief International serves and the organization itself, but also the broader global humanitarian system—of which NGOs like Relief International are a key part.

Many lives would change in this fight. Some lives both Black & White lost. The March from Selma to Montgomery was inspired by the death of Jimmie Lee Jackson was a civil rights activist in Marion, Alabama, and a deacon in the Baptist church. On February 18, 1965, while participating in a peaceful voting rights march in his city, he was beaten by troopers and shot by Alabama State Trooper John Bonard Fowler Jackson was unarmed and died eight days later in the hospital.His death was part of the inspiration for the Selma to Montgomery marches in March 1965, a major events in the American Civil Rights Movement that helped gain Congressional passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This opened the door to millions of African Americans being able to vote again in Alabama and across the South, regaining participation as citizens in the political system for the first time since the turn of the 20th century, when they were disenfranchised by state constitutions and discriminatory practices.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!© 2025 All Rights Reserved Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBAS Spot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

From visiting unfamiliar locations to speaking directly with locals, nothing beats experiencing key elements of your story firsthand. When possible, this kind of immersive research can make the difference between a good book and one that truly transports readers. In today's episode of Fully Booked, Craig and Roland sit down with award-winning author Dr. Randy Overbeck to explore how direct, on-the-ground research enhances storytelling. Overbeck, a former educator turned award-winning mystery author, shares how traveling to real settings, consulting experts, and even participating in activities like sailing or dune buggy rides has helped him craft compelling, authentic narratives. As Overbeck explains, firsthand research does more than just help set the scene—it strengthens character development, enriches historical details, and adds depth to complex social themes. He has spent years refining his approach by connecting with local experts, securing permissions for real-world references, and weaving his findings into gripping mysteries. But not every detail can be uncovered in person, and even Overbeck relies on traditional research methods to fill in the gaps. By blending fieldwork with more conventional research, authors can create immersive, believable stories—whether they can visit their book's setting or not.   Dr. Randy Overbeck https://www.authorrandyoverbeck.com/   Hidden Gems Need our help publishing or marketing your book? https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/author-services/   All episode details and links: https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/podcast

In this episode, host OP Almaraz guides listeners through firsthand accounts of a recent, chaotic wildfire event. His guests/staff, Erika and Ally, share their experiences working on the frontlines during the crisis. They discuss the intense days following the wildfire—from the initial panic on Tuesday through the exhausting days of Wednesday, Thursday, and the weekend—when they received frantic calls from homeowners desperate for wildfire protection. Key themes include: Wildfire Response Realities: Erika and Ally explain how homeowners, overwhelmed with anxiety, often expected a firefighter-like response. They clarify that while their role is to protect properties by managing vegetation and applying fire retardants, they do not stay on-site to monitor homes continuously during an active fire. Community Connection & Education: Amid the chaos, many clients expressed genuine gratitude for the calm and informative support they received. The conversation highlights that wildfire prevention is a year-round effort, emphasizing proactive measures over last-minute responses. Behind the Scenes Challenges: The episode provides insights into the "war room" environment where the team juggled high call volumes, coordinated limited crew resources, and navigated logistical hurdles. Anecdotes, like Edwin's fire-retardant-covered boots, showcase both the physical and emotional demands of the work. Looking Ahead: With the immediate crisis transitioning to post-fire challenges such as smoke management and concerns over toxic residues, OP Almaraz, Erika, and Ally stress the importance of preparation. They urge homeowners to treat wildfire prevention like a “seatbelt”—an essential measure that provides an extra layer of safety. In a groundbreaking development, Allied Disaster Defense is now franchising its wildfire defense expertise, signaling a new era for an industry poised to become one of the most in-demand in the coming years. This episode offers a timely glimpse into how proactive wildfire defense can transform communities and create vast opportunities for growth. Show Notes Introduction (00:00 – 00:00:14) Podcast Focus: Latest trends in protecting properties against wildfire. Host: OP Almaraz welcomes listeners and sets the stage for a special episode featuring insights from his guests. Initial Recollections (00:00:14 – 00:01:07) Guests Introduced: Erika and Ally share their frontline experiences during the wildfire. Event Overview: Discussion of the intense days starting Tuesday when chaos unfolded. Homeowner Experiences & Expectations (00:01:07 – 00:03:03) Emotional Calls: Erika and Ally recount frantic calls from distressed homeowners. Clarifying Roles: They explain that their work focuses on prevention—managing vegetation and applying fire retardants—not continuous monitoring of homes. Team's Operational Challenges (00:03:03 – 00:05:12) Logistical Hurdles: High call volumes, limited crew availability, and the pressure to respond quickly. Anecdotes: Personal stories such as Edwin's fire-retardant-covered boots illustrate the demanding environment. Emphasizing Proactive Prevention (00:05:12 – 00:07:38) Year-Round Preparedness: The guests stress the importance of planning ahead to avoid last-minute emergencies. Learning Experiences: Reflections on how the intense period led to growth and better wildfire prevention strategies. Community Dynamics & Communication (00:07:38 – 00:09:24) Neighborhood Solidarity: How local apps, word-of-mouth, and community groups helped disseminate their contact information. Connection: Stories of community cooperation in the face of crisis. Post-Fire Concerns & Ongoing Services (00:09:24 – 00:14:31) Transition to Recovery: Discussion of challenges like smoke management and toxic residue. Homeowner Anxiety: Accounts of homeowners' stress over returning to damaged or unfamiliar spaces, and the steps being taken to address these issues. Final Reflections & Key Takeaways (00:14:31 – 00:20:45) Proactive Preparedness: Emphasis on the necessity of preparing for wildfires in advance, treating prevention measures as critical as a seatbelt. Community Effort: A call for neighborhoods to band together and protect their homes collectively. Long-Term Impact: Thoughts on how communities will evolve post-crisis and the importance of early investment in wildfire prevention. Conclusion (00:20:45 – 00:21:00) Final Thanks: OP Almaraz thanks Erika, Ally, and the listeners.
