Richard Epstein critiques the construction of the Obama Center in Chicago, lamenting the destruction of 800 historical trees and the seizure of public land. He describes the project's design as a "monstrosity" with a flawed traffic plan and expresses concern over the foundation's lack of financial transparency and endowment. (4)1904 BAGHDAD

This week Black on Black Cinema finally gives Sugar Hill (1994) the deep analysis it deserves. Directed by Leon Ichaso and written by Barry Michael Cooper — the architect behind New Jack City and Above the Rim — Sugar Hill is the second and most emotionally dramatic entry in Cooper's Harlem Trilogy. Wesley Snipes as Roemello Skuggs, a high-level Harlem drug dealer who wants out. He's got money, power, a woman he loves in Melissa (Theresa Randle), and a future waiting for him if his volatile brother Raynathan (Michael Wright) and the game itself will let him leave.We break down what makes Sugar Hill flawed but still underrated. Cooper's layered screenplay that tries to give Roemello genuine intellectual depth (Georgetown scholarship-eligible, chess player, art collector), Michael Wright's explosive performance as the brother who can't escape the past, and Leon Ichaso's atmospheric direction that turns Harlem into a character of its own. Terence Blanchard's jazz-inflected gives the film a serious connection to Spike Lee's own work. Clarence Williams III steals scenes effortlessly, and Ernie Hudson has a good time as a villain this time around.We discuss why it got overshadowed by New Jack City, how it works to keep the idea of Wesley Snipes being one of the coolest dudes in this era. Sugar Hill has its flaws from scenes that in hindsight are oddly placed (potentially post edit bay issues), some characters who aren't as explored as actual human beings, but there is still something here worth talking about and the effort of making a gentlemen gangster film with the same actor who was notorious for playing one of the most brutal gangsters in the 90s era is something to admire here.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

Jay Hatfield argues inflation is being overstated, pointing to distorted shelter data in CPI. He expects up to three rate cuts in the next year and sees the S&P 500 rising to 8,200, with upside to 9,000 if geopolitical tensions ease. Hatfield also highlights tech-driven growth, U.S. natural gas strength, and calls for the Fed to incorporate money supply and oil prices into its forecasts.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Pastor Dom Bird continues our “Flawed But Called” series, exploring the powerful truth that God calls ordinary, imperfect people to His extraordinary purposes. Through the story of Jesus calling His first disciples in Matthew 4, we're reminded that our past mistakes, insecurities, and lack of confidence do not disqualify us from being used by God.In this message, Dom unpacks how Jesus calls people where they are, invites them into a life of following Him, and transforms them along the way. Discover why God isn't looking for ability as much as availability, how His grace overcomes our weaknesses, and what it means to move from being a consumer to a contributor in the Kingdom of God.Whether you're questioning your calling, feeling overlooked, or wondering if God can use you, this message offers encouragement, challenge, and practical steps for following Jesus wholeheartedly.#SunnyhillChurch #FlawedButCalled #FollowJesus #Calling #Discipleship #Faith #ChristianSermon #PooleChurch #KingdomOfGod #GraceOfGod

In this episode of "The Mom Next Door: Stories of Faith," guest Rhonda Stoppe reflects on the lessons she's learned from studying the mothers of the Bible. She challenges the myth that a mother's success is determined by her children's choices, and shares practical insight on handling mom guilt, comparison, and prodigal children. Highlighting fearless, flawed, and faithful biblical moms—including Rahab, Esther, Rebecca, Naomi, and unnamed women—Rhonda encourages listeners to focus on daily faithfulness, embrace mentorship, and trust God's work beyond what they can see. Her stories and biblical wisdom offer hope that ordinary, imperfect mothers can make an extraordinary impact.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, as California continues to tally election results, state leaders are urging patience as President Trump again complains about the use of mail-in ballots and delays in the results. In the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump accused Democrats of trying to "steal" the California gubernatorial and Los Angeles mayoral primaries without any evidence to support his claim. With many races still undecided, outcomes could take days or even weeks as ballots are counted, including in the governor's race. Also President Trump storms off 'Meet the Press' interview, rips Kristen Welker, ABC, CBS, and CNN as 'crooked' / A look at May's jobs numbers / Gearing up for the World Cup / Audio from Scott Pelley on CBS' bias.

Ranjeet Brar | 1 May 2026 Dr Ranjeet Brar, general secretary of the CPGB-ML and consultant vascular surgeon, writes on his experience of the enforcement of the IHRA ‘definition of antisemitism' and its deeply troubling consequences. Why has this definition taken on such importance in our society, and how is it being used to criminalise anti-zionist speech, despite not having any legal force? The IHRA ‘definition of antisemitism' seeks to label legitimate criticism of the criminal and genocidal policies and actions of the Israeli state as ‘racist' – and therefore to outlaw the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian people and the anti-imperialist movement which supports that resistance. -------------------------------- Subscribe!

In this encouraging and thought-provoking message, we explore what it means to live worthy of the calling we have received in Christ (Ephesians 4:1).Too often, calling is reserved for a select few on a platform, but Paul reminds us that every believer has been given grace, purpose, and a role to play in the body of Christ. This sermon unpacks the difference between our call to follow Jesus and our call to take responsibility in His Kingdom, challenging us to move from spectators to participants.“Jesus hasn't just saved you FROM something; He has saved you FOR something.”Discover how God calls ordinary people, why every believer matters, and how the Church flourishes when each part does its work.

My mother passed away when I was twenty.She left in her sleep — no warning, no goodbye. And it wasn't until I was holding her worn, misshapen "I love you" pillow that I finally understood how much time I had wasted in coldness and indifference, when I could have simply loved her.My father was the person I admired most in the world. Flawed, impulsive, clumsy with feelings — but deeply loyal, fiercely principled, and the first person who taught me: no step in life is wasted. Every one counts.In this episode, Lily shares what two very different parents gave her — one taught her to cherish the present, the other gave her the courage to keep going. And together, those two lessons became the foundation of a life she truly loves.� Lark Lab 2.0 | A women-only online community. Every morning, together.flywithlily.com

Some days, motherhood feels deeply meaningful. Other days, it feels like wiping counters, making lunches, repeating yourself for the hundredth time, and wondering if any of it really matters. If you’ve ever gone to bed thinking, “I’ll do better tomorrow,” this week’s conversation on The Love Offering Podcast is for you. I had the joy of talking with bestselling author and speaker Rhonda Stoppe about her new book, Moms of the Bible: Life-Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed, and Faithful. Together, we talked honestly about mom guilt, comparison, prodigals, spiritual motherhood, God’s grace, and the sacred significance of everyday faithfulness. I especially loved how she reminded us that the women of Scripture were real women—fearless at times, flawed at times, but always deeply loved and used by God. Their stories remind us that God doesn’t require perfection from us as mothers. He simply asks for willing hearts surrendered to Him. In this episode, we discuss:• How God uses imperfect mothers• The danger of comparison and control• Why spiritual motherhood matters• What to do with regret and mom guilt• The quiet significance of ordinary faithfulness• How loving God first shapes the way we love our families Rhonda also shares beautiful encouragement for weary moms and reminds us that the greatest thing our children can witness is not perfection—but a mother who genuinely loves Jesus. Whether you’re parenting little ones, teenagers, adult children, or simply pouring into the next generation spiritually, I think this conversation will encourage your heart.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Dan Kowalski, author of the book Death by Misadventure. Daniel Kowalski is a novelist, screenwriter, and filmmaker whose work dives deep into crime, history, and the darker edges of human nature.   He writes modern noir stories—lean, character-driven thrillers grounded in real human stakes. His debut mystery-thriller, Suicide Bridge, has been praised for its gritty atmosphere, cinematic pacing, and relentless sense of tension. His follow up novel Family Feud has been critically praised and his third novel Death by Misadventure is set to be published in 2026.   As a screenwriter, Daniel develops grounded crime dramas and neo-noir thrillers that explore flawed people pushed into impossible situations. His scripts often draw from true events, historical conflicts, and the unspoken moral compromises people make under pressure.   Daniel is also the creator of Dan's Docs, a YouTube channel dedicated to true crime documentaries. Blending investigative storytelling with a filmmaker's eye, the channel explores real cases, hidden histories, and the forces that shape criminal behavior.   Across novels, screenplays, and documentary filmmaking, Daniel's work asks the same central question: What happens when ordinary people are pulled into extraordinary darkness — and who do they become on the other side?   In my book review, I stated Death by Misadventure is a noir thriller by Daniel Kowalski. This book kept me riveted to my seat, and I couldn't wait to discover the "who" and "what" behind all that was going on! The main detective is Jennifer, and like with all noir works, although the good guy, she is certainly not a pristine character. She has a past case that haunts her, a family she has abandoned, and drinks - a lot. Even so, she manages to hang on to her career and gets the case of an attorney gunned down in his garage. Is it a robbery gone wrong or something more?   Jennifer follows leads that end up going nowhere, causing her to drink at an even greater rate. At the same time, she meets up with an old flame from high school. As this relationship heats up, she thinks she may be on the road to some personal happiness. A second murder, a jealous wife, a PI with too much information, and someone she learns is more of a predator than a friend, nearly does her in.   Will she solve the case before finding herself in prison? This touch and go thriller is well-written and keeps you guessing right to the end.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Dan Kowalski Website: https://dankowalski.com/ FB: @Dan Kowalski: Author and Screenwriter  YouTube: @DansDocs   Purchase Death by Misadventure on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/41zzvXf Ebook: https://amzn.to/4uSou0F   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Are you secretly afraid you've already messed up your kids?Rhonda Stoppe, author of Moms of the Bible, sits down with Jen to unpack why Christian moms carry so much guilt — and what God actually says about flawed, broken, faithful motherhood. Spoiler: He didn't just tolerate your mess. He chose it.From Rebecca's manipulation to Jochebed's terrifying faith, Rhonda walks us through real biblical women who were imperfect, afraid, and still used by God to shape history.In this episode:✔ Why mom guilt is a spiritual attack — not just a feeling✔ The dangerous "perfect mom" image God never asked you to live up to✔ What Rebecca's story teaches us about unchecked imagination in parenting✔ How your trials are forming your children's faith (even when it's hard)✔ Jochebed's radical act of letting go — and what it means for you today✔ Why prayerlessness is sinning against your children✔ The one question every Christian mom needs to ask: Am I raising them for God's glory — or mine?"God called us to this ministry of motherhood. He calls broken people to do extraordinary things through our ordinary lives." — Rhonda Stoppe

The Danger of Criticism: Helping the "Sick in Faith" Without Snuffing the FireHave you ever looked at a newer believer and felt the urge to "correct" their choice of church, music, or Bible translation? In this episode of Word Time, Coach Shaw shares a personal conviction regarding Romans 14:1 and the hidden danger of spiritual pride.We often claim to be "meat-eaters" in the faith, but if our "maturity" causes us to denigrate the very things God is using to light a fire in someone else, are we truly following Christ? We dive into the Greek meaning of "weak in faith," which often translates to being "sick." Just as we wouldn't chew someone out for having a physical cold, we shouldn't condemn those who are still on "spiritual milk."Whether it's the translation of the Bible someone reads or the church they choose to attend, we must have the wisdom to know when to be bold and when to have compassion. Don't let your maturity become a stumbling block for someone else's progress.Key Highlights:The 24-Hour Conviction: A personal story of reversing a critical word given to a friend.Milk vs. Meat: Understanding that everyone has a different timeline and process in their walk with God.The "Sick" in Faith: A look at the Greek word astheneō and why it changes how we view "weak" believers.Canceled Creators: Discussion on Ravi Zacharias, King Solomon, and whether we should "throw away the Proverbs" because of a man's fall.The Role of Compassion: Why maturity should lead to more humility, not more criticism.Matthew 23 Warning: Are we suppressing a fire that the Holy Spirit is trying to light?Key Scriptures:Romans 14:1 – "Accept other believers who are weak in faith..."Matthew 23 – The warning against making converts "twice the son of hell."Matthew 7 – The context of judging others.Psalm 1 – Being rooted and grounded in your own season.#TheDangerOfCriticism #Romans14 #SpiritualMaturity #FaithWalk #ChristianCompassion #WordTime #CoachForChrist #BibleStudyChapters0:00 - Intro: A Quick Word on Criticism0:21 - The Church Recommendation: A Personal Mistake1:25 - The Holy Spirit "Slap Down": Realizing the Hindrance2:11 - Boldness vs. Harshness: Checking Our Overzealousness2:54 - The Music & Ministry Debate: Can God Use "Flawed" Sources?4:14 - The Solomon Example: Do We Throw Out the Proverbs?4:48 - Meeting People Where They Are: Milk vs. Meat5:12 - Bible Translations: The Place for the NIV6:27 - Are We Suppressing a Fire?

Welcome to another Potluck Saturday! This week we get into the conversation surrounding the new Michael Jackson movie and the bigger issue underneath it… why modern culture seems unable to allow people to be complicated, flawed, talented, contradictory, and human all at once. We talk about the difference between understanding someone and endorsing everything they've ever done, the way social media has flattened people into heroes or villains, and why nuance seems to be disappearing from public conversation. From Michael Jackson to celebrity culture, fame, cancellation, and public perception, this episode explores what happens when a society loses the ability to hold two truths at the same time. We also get into the psychology of fame, why so many gifted people are also deeply wounded, and how our discomfort with other people's flaws often reflects our discomfort with our own. Along the way, we touch on pop culture, Hollywood, social media, self-improvement, and the pressure to appear perfect in a world that rewards outrage over honesty. Larry Bird teaches us that we generally only empathize with others that have had problems similar to ours. As always more to come....

What if the world measured motherhood, not by perfection or public acclaim, but by quiet courage, surrender, and faith? In this heartfelt Mother’s Day episode of Christian Parent Crazy World, Catherine invites celebrated author and mentor Rhonda Stoppe to lift the veil on the real stories of the moms of the Bible—fearless, flawed, faithful, and sometimes forgotten women whose lives still shape generations. Drawing from her acclaimed new book, Moms of the Bible: Life Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed, and Faithful, Rhonda Stoppe brings wisdom honed by decades of ministry, parenting, and podcasting (Old Ladies Know Stuff). Together, Catherine and Rhonda Stoppe explore what it means to mother in a world obsessed with perfection, reminding listeners that God’s view of motherhood is radically different—and infinitely more freeing. What You’ll Discover in This Episode God Sees and Honors Moms—Even When No One Else DoesScripture overflows with stories of mothers just like you—women who wrestled, wept, waited, and worshiped as God unfolded His plans in unexpected ways. While culture often dismisses the daily work of mothering as mundane or menial, Catherine and Rhonda Stoppe reveal how the Bible places immense value on those unseen acts of love and faithfulness. From Mary’s Brave Surrender to Rebecca’s Mistakes Hear how Mary, the mother of Jesus, chose courageous “yes” in the face of misunderstanding and rejection, modeling trust in God’s unseen plans. Explore Rebecca’s story—a tale of good intentions gone awry as she tries to “help” God’s promises along, unleashing sibling rivalry and a generational legacy. Learn that God works through flawed, real women, not perfect ones, and that repentance and humility write a new story for us and our children. The Power and Danger of Partiality Rhonda Stoppe uncovers the lasting damage of favoritism in families, drawing from biblical narratives and honest reflections on her own upbringing. Listeners are encouraged to honestly assess their parenting, seek God’s agape love, and pursue forgiveness and restoration when favoritism has taken root. When You Feel like the Mom with No Name Sometimes, a mother’s extraordinary impact is never recognized by the world—or even, at times, by her own children. The story of David’s unnamed mother powerfully affirms the kingdom value of unseen, faithful work. “The influence of unnamed mothers has shaped nations, inspired leaders, nurtured artists and motivated ordinary children to accomplish extraordinary achievements.” – Rhonda Stoppe Real Talk: Healing from Deep Wounds In a moving post-interview segment, Rhonda Stoppe addresses the pain of those raised by abusive mothers through the biblical story of Herodias and her daughter, offering hope, the necessity of Christ-centered forgiveness, and the invitation to seek healing through biblical counseling. Why This Matters In a culture that honors mothers with a day, but often disenfranchises the work of motherhood, this episode re-centers the sacredness, complexity, and generational reach of a mother’s influence. Catherine and Rhonda Stoppe invite you to see your mothering through the eyes of God—full of purpose, dignity, and hope. About the Guest Rhonda Stoppe is a bestselling author, speaker, mom of four, and grandmother of fifteen.

Reflect & Respond Which mom’s story resonated most with you—fearless Mary, flawed Rebecca, faithful Hannah, or a nameless mother who faithfully packed lunches and taught quietly in her home? What might change in your parenting if you saw yourself as called and seen by God, not defined by comparison or invisibility? Notable takeaway: “God doesn’t need perfection. He’s just looking for surrender. He works through the ordinary, the overlooked, and, yes, even the messy moments of motherhood to accomplish His extraordinary plans.” — Catherine Call to Action:This week, seek out a godly mentor—or encourage another mom who might feel forgotten. Your story matters. Your daily yes to God matters. How will you step boldly into your unique season of motherhood, trusting that God shapes generations through faithful, ordinary women?

Looking for a financial planner?  → PlanWithJesse.com Jesse delivers a critical re-evaluation of target date funds—one of the most widely used "set-it-and-forget-it" retirement tools—arguing that while their simplicity is appealing, their real-world performance often falls short in meaningful ways. He begins by explaining how target date funds work, focusing on their defining features: the glide path (a gradual shift from stocks to bonds over time) and their structure as "funds of funds." From there, he highlights their massive dominance in retirement accounts following the 2006 Pension Protection Act, which positioned them as default investment options for millions of Americans. But the core of the episode centers on a striking finding from recent research: the average target date fund underperforms a comparable low-cost index portfolio by roughly 1% per year—an outcome driven primarily by higher fees, the inclusion of actively managed sub-funds, and tactical allocation decisions that attempt (and often fail) to outsmart the market. Jesse further explores the wide dispersion in outcomes between funds of the same "vintage," the structural limitations imposed by employer-sponsored plan menus, and the "curse of average," which makes it impossible for any single glide path to suit an individual investor's unique financial situation. Using a bread-making analogy, he argues for a simpler, more intentional portfolio construction approach built around four core ingredients: appropriate risk level, broad diversification, low cost, and behavioral sustainability. He concludes by offering a practical framework for evaluating target date funds—favoring low-cost, passively managed options from providers like Vanguard, BlackRock, and Fidelity's index series—while emphasizing that even the best target date funds are best viewed as temporary solutions or "good enough" defaults rather than optimal long-term strategies. Key Takeaways: • Target date funds are designed as all-in-one retirement portfolios that automatically adjust risk over time. Their core mechanism is the "glide path," shifting from stocks to bonds as retirement approaches. • Most target date funds are structured as "funds of funds," investing in underlying mutual funds or ETFs. • The average target date fund underperforms a comparable index-based benchmark by ~1% annually. • The "curse of average" means no single glide path can suit every investor's needs. • Effective portfolios rely on four ingredients: risk level, diversification, low cost, and behavioral fit. • Some target date funds (e.g., Vanguard, BlackRock, Fidelity Index) are significantly better than others.

Being a mom means feeling like you're on top of the world at times. At other times there are challenges, struggles and even heartaches. In the end, the responsibilities and cares of a mother never cease. The circumstances of each mom are different and unique, but God's grace is available to all. So as an encouragement to moms, Crosstalk interviewed Rhonda Stoppe. Rhonda is a speaker and author of seven books. With 40 years of experience in helping women build no regrets lives, Rhonda has become a highly sought-after voice in the Christian living community. She's a popular homeschool conference speaker and the host of the award-winning podcast, Old Ladies Know Stuff. Rhonda's been happily married to her husband Steve for 44 years. She's a pastor's wife, mother of four and grandmother of 15. She appeared to discuss her newest book: Moms of the Bible: Life-changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed and Faithful. A critical point noted by Rhonda that is easy to forget is that moms have a calling from God in that they are the first teachers that he puts into our world. However, did moms in the Bible always get it right? Is there a path forward for women today who feel they are "blowing it" as a mother? Your answer to that is inside your Bible. Rhonda talks about it as she explores timeless life lessons from Bible moms of all types including Rahab, Naomi, Jochebed, Rebecca and more, revealing how their stories of failure, faith, and hope can help you fulfill your own calling with confidence.

People don't know who they are. They are what their parents and environments made them, and rarely think for themselves. And that's why the world has become insane.We are living in a world so volatile, even the wind needs therapy. And what's fueling it? Not strength. Not clarity. No, no. It's being driven by people so politically flexible they could qualify as yoga instructors. These folks don't just go where the wind blows, they pre-apologize to it. If the breeze was blowing from the direction of a pig farm, Leftists grab a clothespin, smile politely, and say, “Ah yes, progress.”And that's the problem. When leadership becomes a weather vane, the country becomes a kite… and guess who's holding the string? Spoiler alert: it's not you.Now let's talk about faith. See, there's this split-screen reality playing out. On one side, millions of Americans still grounded in faith, believe there's a higher authority than government.

On the April 10, 2026, broadcast of The Tara Show, the first hour highlights a series of geopolitical and local ironies, starting with the argument that China, not Iran, is the true victor of the recent conflict—a strategic shift allegedly overlooked by President Trump. The show also examines the controversial decision by the administration to "rubberstamp" Iran's authority to collect shipping tolls, further complicating regional dynamics. Closer to home, the program notes the "total irony" of a Greenville City patrol vehicle speeding in poor conditions, while closing with a critical look at the turbulent and often flawed global transition toward AI integration in everyday life.

5. Headline: The MOND Heresy and Gravitational Lensing Guest Author:Govert Schilling Summary: Schilling introduces MOND, a "heretical" theory suggesting our understanding of gravityis flawed rather than matter being missing. While MOND explains galactic rotation perfectly, gravitational lensing allows scientists to map dark matter's distribution in space and time. Observations of the Bullet Clusterprovide strong evidence for dark matter, though MOND proponents still offer alternatives. (5)JUNE 1962
