Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The defense suffered a major setback when the judge ruled that their scientific experts could not testify before the jury, forcing them to read affidavits into the record instead. H.L. Mencken, the acerbic journalist who dubbed the event the "Monkey Trial," covered the proceedings. Sympathetic to Darrow and critical of Bryan's"fanatic" views, Mencken influenced public perception, though the jury remained shielded from the scientific evidence the defense hoped to present.1960 FREDERIC MARCH AS WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN "INHERIT THE WIND"

Negotiations don't fall apart because of bad tactics — they fall apart when emotions go unmanaged. In this Negotiation Masterclass episode of Negotiate Anything, Kwame Christian explores why emotional intelligence is the real difference-maker in high-stakes conversations. Through three expert perspectives, you'll see how self-awareness, emotional control, and empathy shape outcomes long before strategy ever comes into play. You'll learn how to regulate your emotions under pressure, read others more accurately, build trust before conflict, and avoid the costly mistakes that come from emotional blind spots. This episode shows why the best negotiators aren't just skilled communicators—they're emotionally disciplined leaders. If you want to negotiate with clarity, composure, and long-term influence, this masterclass will change how you approach every difficult conversation.

Today, I'm looking at the idea of using accountability as a "forcing function" that can transform our cherished goals from wishful intentions into accomplished realities. If you ever wonder why our work projects always seem to get done while personal goals keep getting relegated to "someday," this episode will hit home. I'm sharing why our personal lives lack the built-in accountability and structures that make professional commitments non-negotiable, because, get this, motivation isn't enough. I'll explain that with examples, insights from behavioral science, and actionable steps to harness accountability mechanisms to accomplish your most important priorities. Discover the value of enlisting paid professionals (and even some unlikely familiar faces) as accountability allies! Accountability doesn't add pressure! It powerfully creates freedom by clearing space for what matters most to you. I'm inviting you to hit play and discover a few simple shifts to make this your year to soar.  Show Highlights: Last call to register for our free January workshop.

A GLOBAL WAR AND THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY Colleague Joseph Ellis. The entry of France and Spaintransformed the rebellion into a global war, forcing Britain to prioritize the Caribbean over the colonies. Charles Leewas disgraced for his behavior at Monmouth, while the British shifted to a Southern strategy to retain valuable territory. Simultaneously, Washington ordered a brutal campaign against the Iroquois Confederacy, allies of the British, resulting in the destruction of their villages in a "dirty war" on the frontier. NUMBER 51801 LONDON

Regional Tensions: U.S. Pressure on Mexico and South American Shifts. Guest: PROFESSOR EVAN ELLIS, U.S. Army War College. The U.S. is pushing Mexico for joint military operations against cartels, forcing President Sheinbaum into a "delicate dance" to protect sovereignty. Meanwhile, Brazil's Lula balances leftist ties against a conservative military, and Colombia shows a potential shift to the right as Petro's policies face significant discredit.1647

In this episode, Michael is joined by Joel Hilchey, an engineer turned training and development expert, to explore the realities of leadership for accidental managers. Hilchey discusses his book The Six and a Half Habits of Highly Defective Bosses, a guide that uncovers the challenges leaders face when transitioning from high performing individual contributors to effective team managers. Joel highlights the importance of managing both tasks and people. He explains that great leaders must balance short term project priorities with long term strategy, while also attending to immediate team dynamics and the larger arc of each team member's career development. Through personal stories, including one involving a former assistant, Joel illustrates how managers can better understand the aspirations of their teams and create meaningful support structures. Transforming a Toxic Healthcare Work Environment Michael shares a powerful real world example from his leadership journey in healthcare. He describes stepping into a clinic plagued with an 86 percent annual turnover rate and transforming it into a stable environment with only six percent turnover within a year. His approach included listening closely to the team, removing unnecessary obstacles, and making small but consistent improvements. Joel points out that this reflects research showing employees most often leave because of their relationship with management, not their peers. He emphasizes the concept of “de hassling” employees as a critical leadership practice that empowers people to do their best work. Lean Principles vs. Real Worker Efficiency Michael also reflects on Lean methodologies through a humorous and insightful hospital anecdote. A seasoned nurse, repeatedly told to move her equipment cart, finally threatened to use her access to needles if the relocation happened again. The directive immediately stopped. This moment illustrates that while Lean principles aim to streamline systems, leaders must recognize times when established worker routines already support peak efficiency. Forcing change without understanding context can undermine performance rather than improve it. Leadership Principles for High Performing Teams In their discussion of leadership essentials, Hilchey and Michael emphasize the importance of nurturing high performers instead of burning them out or discouraging them. They highlight the role of managers in understanding what their teams need to excel and the power of frequent, authentic recognition. Joel shares insights from The Six and a Half Habits of Highly Defective Bosses, urging leaders to take responsibility when mistakes occur, focus on solutions rather than blame, and cultivate environments where people can thrive. These principles, he explains, are foundational for building motivated and resilient teams. https://JoelHilchey.com  

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Mathew Kerbis discuss:AI's impact on billable workRecognizing the limits of hourly and flat feesUsing subscriptions to create stability and scalePositioning lawyers for long-term resilience Key Takeaways:AI is set to automate most billable legal tasks, collapsing the hours firms rely on for revenue. Continuing to bill time while effort shrinks creates ethical and financial strain. The profession must rethink pricing before the model breaks entirely.Hourly billing punishes efficiency and leaves clients unable to budget. Flat fees help, but often trigger resistance when AI makes work appear “too easy.” Both models strain under faster, AI-driven workflows.Subscription pricing offers predictable costs for clients and recurring value for firms. Changing needs are handled through tier shifts instead of constant renegotiation. This approach opens access to the vast unmet legal market.Solo and small firms can thrive by pairing subscriptions with purpose-built AI tools. Clear value mapping enables strong good-better-best service tiers. Sustainable growth requires leverage, focus, and letting go of doing everything alone. "The flat fee or fixed fee model… hasn't supplanted the billable hour… because of exactly this problem I call the under‑scoping and over‑scoping problem. You don't know if you're going to overscope or underscope the work when it's on a fixed‑fee model." —  Mathew Kerbis Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

This episode of Grit Meets Growth is for people who already show up, already have discipline, and are asking a deeper question: why does this still feel harder than it should?We're unpacking how growth eventually outgrows old systems—how habits, routines, and discipline that once worked can start to feel heavy when they're no longer aligned with who you are and where you're going. Rather than adding more structure or white-knuckling through resistance, the conversation reframes discipline as something meant to serve alignment, not identity or ego. We're exploring the shift from early-stage growth (“how much effort can I apply?”) to mature growth (“where is my effort best placed?”), using practical examples around fitness, leadership, rest, brotherhood, and resilience. The core takeaway is clear: discipline matters, but only when it's applied in the right places, supported by honest self-reflection, strong relationships, and the courage to realign instead of forcing what no longer fits.5 key takeaways from this episode of Grit Meets Growth:If it feels heavier than it should, don't add more—realign. Resistance isn't a signal to pile on more discipline; it's feedback that something may be out of alignment.Early growth asks “How much effort can I apply?” Mature growth asks “Where is my effort best placed?” Leverage beats volume. One well-placed habit or action will outperform five done inconsistently.Discipline should create freedom, not become your armor or identity. When discipline exists to protect an image (“I'm the guy who never breaks”), it can stop serving your life and start draining it.Rest, focus, and simplicity are part of discipline—not the opposite of it. Sustainable progress comes from cleaner energy, fewer plugs, and intentional choices about where you spend your effort.Resilience isn't grinding harder—it's recalibrating and moving forward aligned. True resilience means reassessing, realigning, and continuing toward your goals with the right people holding you accountable.One truth: If you have to force everything, you're not lacking discipline—you're out of alignment.

If sex in your long-term relationship feels expected, routine, or disconnected, you're not alone. In Part 2 of our 50 best sex tips for 2026 series, we talk about desire, pressure, and how to build a more satisfying sex life that actually feels good. This episode is about when sex starts to feel like something you're doing because you're supposed to. Going through the motions. Having sex because it feels expected. Checking boxes. Trying to be a good partner. Forcing yourself to want it. And still wondering why it doesn't feel good. We cover: Doing what you think you're supposed to do. Why “good partner” sex often disconnects you from what you actually want and feel. Going through the motions. How routine, obligation, and autopilot sex quietly drains desire. Having sex because it feels expected. Why expectation creates pressure and shuts desire down. Checking boxes instead of tuning in. How tracking frequency, effort, or outcomes pulls you out of connection. Forcing yourself to want it. Why trying to manufacture desire backfires. Trying to be a good partner. How people-pleasing and self-abandonment show up in sex. Wondering why it still doesn't feel good. Why “fine” sex can still feel empty and what actually changes that.

In this episode of Call Her Creator, I'm sharing five things I'm consciously letting go of in 2026 — not because they failed, but because they no longer fit the version of my life and business I'm stepping into. We're talking about real alignment. Not the fluffy kind, the kind that comes from subtraction, boundaries, and honest reassessment. Inside this episode, I break down: Why forcing growth, content, and hustle isn't working anymore How hustle quietly becomes identity if you don't reassess it Why posting “just to stay consistent” can disconnect you from your audience How comparison disguises itself as research and pulls you off your own path Why saying yes out of fear costs more than saying no How letting go of past versions of yourself creates space for sustainable growth I also share how health challenges, leadership pressure, and scaling a business forced me to slow down — and what that revealed about alignment, energy, and direction moving forward. This is not a “do more” episode. It's a recalibration. If you're in a season of reinvention, burnout, or quiet questioning — this conversation will help you release what's no longer serving you and step into 2026 with clarity instead of pressure. Plus, I'm sharing details about the DARE TO DREAM giveaway and my Free January Reset, created to help you start the year grounded, aligned, and intentional.

Long before MAGA hats became a neurological trigger for progressives, Trump's brand was welcomed straight into the heart of Leftism: Hollyweird. He was the brash billionaire builder, the embodiment of American excess wrapped in confidence and spectacle. He turned construction cranes and skyline silhouettes into cultural currency.That acceptance didn't plateau. It accelerated.The Apprentice wasn't a novelty hit. It was a juggernaut. NBC didn't air it reluctantly; they structured prime-time around it. When Celebrity Apprentice followed, Trump crossed from wealthy curiosity to full-scale cultural authority. Careers rose and fell based on his approval. He wasn't just famous anymore. He was consequential.Trump had become a star-maker.Anyone pretending otherwise is lying, and the archives are merciless. There are hundreds of clips, interviews, and quotes of Left-wing figures praising Trump openly. Joy Behar herself once declared she “loved Donald Trump,” a statement that now survives as an artifact she wishes would disappear:See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've mastered external success but sense there's a more powerful operating system available—one that accelerates without depleting—this conversation is your roadmap to Godzone. Jaclyn Shaw built a seven-figure business as a mentor and coach. On the surface, everything was working. Beneath it, she'd lost her true voice in the noise of the online world—following other people's frameworks, speaking other people's language, disconnected from her own soul's truth. The shift came when the Conversations with God books literally fell at her feet. What followed was an eight-year journey of reclaiming her authentic expression, redefining success on her terms, and discovering what she now calls the GodZone—the flow state where divine alignment meets strategic power. In this conversation, Jaclyn and I explore what happens when you stop operating from circumstantial power and start moving from truth frequency. You'll hear what the GodZone actually is (and why it's more practical than any hustle strategy), how to hold the frequency behind your language without the wobble, and why knowing must come before evidence if you want to create sustainably. This is what becomes possible when you learn to stay in the GodZone.

“I don't know how consequential the January theory is anymore,” says Jake Dollarhide, referencing the market adage that as goes January so goes the year. The Fed has “one rate cut in it,” he argues, looking at the makeup of hawks and doves on the board. It'll all come down to the jobs reports – and he thinks unemployment could hit 5%. Jake is looking for an “official rotation” in markets this year.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Amas Tenumah explains why customer service is not "broken" but intentionally designed to fail. Drawing on decades inside contact centers, historical research, and real corporate incentives, he argues that long waits, deflection, and automation-first strategies are features—not bugs. The conversation dismantles common CX myths, challenges executive complacency, and frames consumer behavior as the only force capable of triggering real change. Core Themes The Suffering Economy of Customer Service: When service is universally bad across industries, it's systemic. Incentives—not incompetence—drive outcomes. Why This Is a "How Dare You" Book: The indictment is aimed squarely at executives who treat service as a cost center while overfunding marketing narratives. Marketing Replaced Service as Trust Mechanism: Historically, service was marketing. Industrialized marketing severed that link, allowing companies to tolerate bad service and buy growth instead. Metrics That Poison Service: Deflection, containment, and avoidance KPIs reward companies for not talking to customers—while punishing leaders who try to deliver what customers actually want. Wait Times Are Engineered: Hold times are budgeted, modeled, and accepted. They are designed friction, not operational accidents. AI as Distance, Not Salvation: AI is currently deployed to protect companies from customers, not customers from friction. It scales avoidance unless incentives change. Executives Don't Experience Their Own Service: Many leaders despise customer service—just not their own. Forcing executives to call their own 1-800 numbers is revelatory and uncomfortable. The Revolt Is Consumer-Led: Change will not come from CX professionals alone. It comes when consumers punish bad service with their wallets and reward companies that respect their time. Notable Moments The opening story of the 1750 BC clay tablet complaint—the first recorded customer service grievance—reads like a modern Amazon review. The Chipotle refund anecdote exposes time theft: hours of customer labor to recover trivial amounts of money. The contrast between automation done for customers versus automation used to avoid them. Practical Takeaways For Consumers: Vote with your wallet. Pay slightly more. Wait one more day. Call customer service before you buy big-ticket items. For Service Leaders: If your CEO doesn't believe in service as value creation, your job is to change their mind—or change jobs. Data plus customer stories are the leverage. For Executives: Service is deferred revenue protection. Treating it purely as cost is strategic malpractice.

FAMINE AND FLIGHT TO FREEDOM Colleague Mark Clifford, The Troublemaker. Jimmy Lai was born into a wealthy family that lost everything to the Communist revolution, forcing his father to flee to Hong Kong while his mother endured labor camps. Left behind, Lai survived as a child laborer during a devastating famine where he was perpetually hungry. A chance encounter with a traveler who gave him a chocolate bar inspired him to escape to Hong Kong, the "land of chocolate," stowing away on a boat at age twelve. NUMBER 9 1920 WAYMO

PRISON AND LAWFARE Colleague Mark Clifford, The Troublemaker. Following the 2020 National Security Law, authorities raided Apple Daily, froze its assets, and arrested Lai, forcing the newspaper to close. Despite having the means to flee, Lai chose to stay and face imprisonment as a testament to his principles. Now held in solitary confinement, he is subjected to "lawfare"—sham legal proceedings designed to silence him—while he spends his time sketching religious images, remaining a symbol of resistance against Beijing's tyranny.

And like most things involving the president, the moves aren't without their critics — including some you might not normally expect pushback from. Trump's rapid response team highlighted the two vetoes: https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2006153283996381333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2006153283996381333%7Ctwgr%5E79e6ef2350ae826bc802e9e5d82d5c97bad630de%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-issues-first-vetoes-second-term%2F The “Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act” is a bill aimed at expanding the land set aside for the Miccosukee Tribe inside Everglades National Park by officially including a section known as Osceola Camp. Trump had a couple of issues with this. The residential community in that area “was constructed in 1935, without authorization, in a low area that was raised with fill material,” Trump's explanation read. “None of the current structures in the Osceola Camp are over 50 years old, nor do they meet the other criteria to be considered for listing in the National Register of Historic Places,” Trump wrote to the House. He added that, “the Miccosukee Tribe has actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.” That appears to be a direct reference to the tribe's publicized opposition — including a lawsuit against the Trump administration — to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in Florida, as noted by The Associated Press. The “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act,” meanwhile, is a bill designed to make it easier for rural Colorado communities to complete a long‑planned water pipeline project that will facilitate drinking water to people in the Arkansas River Valley. Trump appeared to take specific issue with the price tag and repayment plans for this project. “It was originally authorized … in a bill signed by President Kennedy in 1962,” Trump said. “For decades it was unbuilt, largely because the AVC was economically unviable.” “More than $249 million has already been spent on the AVC, and total costs are estimated to be $1.3 billion,” Trump wrote. “H.R. 131 would continue the failed policies of the past by forcing Federal taxpayers to bear even more of the massive costs of a local water project — a local water project that, as initially conceived, was supposed to be paid for by the localities using it. “Enough is enough. My administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies. Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the Nation.” The bill was backed and pushed by Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert — normally a staunch supporter of Trump's — who seemed incensed with the president's veto and vowed that “this isn't over.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/EagleEdMartin/status/2006700820432130068?s=20  to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made???

What if the universe has been leaving you breadcrumbs all along, and you've been too busy planning to notice them?Host, Dr. Katie Deming shares how she completely transformed her approach to life after her shared death experience and leaving Western medicine. Instead of forcing goals and pushing through obstacles, she now follows signs and synchronicities that appear in her daily life. She explains the difference between these two concepts and why paying attention to them opens up possibilities you could never plan for yourself. Through personal stories that range from broken laptops to missing keys, she shows how even frustrating moments might be protecting you from something you can't see yet.The heart of the conversation centers on a remarkable story involving a Rolex watch, a midnight intuition, and a dating app Dr. Katie swore she'd never use. What unfolded demonstrates how following seemingly illogical guidance can lead to connections and openings that feel almost magical. Chapters:00:04:10 - Stop Forcing the Plan00:07:02 - Closing a Cycle, Opening a New One00:14:30 - Her Midnight Nudge00:24:30 - When Life Delays You for a Reason00:32:44 - Surrender to What Is, Then Follow the SignsDr. Katie also gets vulnerable about recent losses in her business and personal life, revealing how she's learned to recognize when it's time to let go rather than get dragged through the gravel trying to hold on.Dr. Katie explains how this approach applies directly to healing, particularly when you're faced with a diagnosis that feels like it's derailing your plans.Listen and Learn how to understand why following signs requires patience, how to avoid getting attached to outcomes, and what happens when you trust that the magic ahead is better than anything you could orchestrate yourself.Access the FREE Water Fasting Masterclass Now: https://www.katiedeming.com/the-healing-power-of-fasting/ Transform your hydration with the system that delivers filtered, mineralized, and structured water all in one.

Andrew shares his personal journey from "faking" Christianity to discovering a vibrant, overflowing faith that naturally reaches others in everyday life—including the business world.Whether you are a business owner, a founder in a cross-cultural setting, or an employee in a corporate environment, this conversation provides a refreshing and practical framework for "Overflow Evangelism."

The data center industry is being redefined by AI's demand for faster, denser, and more scalable infrastructure. According to McKinsey, average rack power densities have more than doubled in just two years. It went from approximately 8 kW to 17 kW, and is expected to hit 30 kW by 2027. Global data center power demand is projected to triple by 2030, reaching 170–220 gigawatts. This rapid growth is forcing a redesign of traditional infrastructure, placing unprecedented strain on utilities, manufacturers, and the skilled labor pipeline.Can infrastructure and workforce capacity scale quickly enough to meet AI's surging data center demands without breaking the system?On Straight Outta Crumpton, host Greg Crumpton welcomes Matt Caldwell, Director of AI/Cloud Data Centers at Hyper Solutions, for a candid conversation about the pressures shaping the modern data center ecosystem. They discuss how AI workloads are upending long-established design norms, why modular manufacturing may offer a more resilient solution, and how labor shortages threaten to slow the entire market. Caldwell also shares how Hyper's unique digital-first model enables scalable, repeatable quality across a distributed manufacturing network.Key Highlights:Density Rewrites the Rulebook: Traditional data centers were designed around ~4 kW racks; today's AI applications require vastly more, prompting major shifts in cooling, power, and facility planning.Hyper's Scalable Manufacturing Model: Hyper Solutions produces PDUs, RPPs, and switchboards through a network of nine UL-listed satellite facilities, all driven by a unified digital process that ensures consistency and real-time visibility.Workforce Urgency: Caldwell underscores a critical labor gap, urging the industry to recruit earlier, targeting high school and even middle school students to meet the rising demand for trades and technical expertise in construction and operations.Matt Caldwell is a seasoned data center executive with over 20 years of experience supporting hyperscale and colocation clients across AI and cloud infrastructure. He has led global account strategy and mission-critical operations at industry leaders including Schneider Electric, Siemens, Trane, and Albireo Energy. Caldwell specializes in scalable design, modular power systems, and digital-first infrastructure delivery and now serves as the Director of AI/Cloud Data Centers at Hyper Solutions.

Professor Barry Strauss. During Trajan's campaign against Parthia, a coordinated Jewish revolt erupted across Libya, Egypt, and Cyprus. This massive insurgency threatened Rome's grain supply, forcing Trajan to divert troops. The suppression of this revolt devastated the historic Jewish community in Alexandria and strained Roman resources. 1843 MASADA

Vinny DelGuidice teaches us how to build a sustainable food blogging workflow using batching, planning ahead, and reusing what already works. Vinny DelGiudice is the creator of Always From Scratch, an Italian-American family food blog he started six years ago. He is a professional photographer, dad, and husband who focuses on developing nostalgic family recipes from his and his wife's childhood, meals that make it easier for families to sit down at the table and enjoy time together. Burnout is not a requirement for success. Vincent shares how he stopped forcing creativity, built a repeatable workflow, and learned to do less while growing more. This episode is a reality check for food bloggers who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in constant decision mode. Key points discussed include: Choose your creative time: You will make better content faster when you stop forcing creative work into the wrong hours. Batching saves your sanity: Planning shoots and tasks in advance removes decision fatigue and keeps momentum going. Plan tomorrow before today ends: Knowing exactly what you will work on next eliminates wasted mental energy. Reuse what already works: Series content and proven formats outperform constant reinvention. One shoot multiple assets: Shooting photo and video together cuts production time in half. Not every platform deserves you: Focus on where your audience actually is and outsource or skip the rest. Comparison kills momentum: Staying in your own lane protects creativity and consistency.

Economy Trump Administration Announces Change to Offshore Wind Construction  President Donald Trump's Department of the Interior is pausing offshore wind project construction due to “national security risks.” “Due to national security concerns identified by the Department of War, Interior is PAUSING leases for 5 expensive, unreliable, heavily subsidized offshore wind farms!” Interior Secretary Doug Burgum wrote on X. “ONE natural gas pipeline supplies as much energy as these 5 projects COMBINED,” Burgum added. “POTUS is bringing common sense back to energy policy & putting security FIRST!” Leases with Vineyard Wind1, Revolution Wind, CVOW, Sunrise Wind, and Empire Wind will be paused. Source: dailysignal.com https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2002605302932517339?s=20 Gas is About to Get Expensive . . . A gallon of gas costs about twice as much in California as it does pretty much anywhere else in the United States. The reason why, of course, is that California makes it cost about twice as much – by reducing supply and by adding costs, chiefly for “environmental” reasons. This includes a new requirement – going into effect very soon (Dec. 31) that all gas stations must either replace single-walled underground storage tanks or permanently close them – no matter whether the tanks are actually leaking and no matter how much it costs to replace them. It is estimated that about 473 gas stations in California are going to close – because the owners cannot afford the mandatory underground storage tank upgrade costs or the $5,000 per day fines for non-compliance. At the same time, the state's regulatory bureaucracy has essentially shut down supply by denying 97 percent of permits for new refineries to supply the extra-special (and extra-expensive) gasoline formulations that all gas stations in California are required to sell. If this hypothetical scenario ends up becoming the actual scenario it could result in the collapse of California as a state.

(VIDEO) Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna Announce Plans to Bring Inherent Contempt Charges Against Attorney General Pam Bondi Over Epstein Files – “We're Building a Bipartisan Coalition”  Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), the authors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Trump last month, announced their intention to bring charges for inherent contempt against Attorney General Pam Bondi.  Under the rarely used congressional power, “the House or Senate has its Sergeant-At-Arms, or deputy, take a person into custody for proceedings to be held in Congress,” according to the National Constitution Center. However, it is unclear how effective this would be in the face of legal challenges and the executive branch's power. This is the latest in an escalating saga of threats, with Massie and Khanna claiming the DOJ has not complied fully with the law due to redactions in the files and not releasing every document available. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on NBC's Meet the Press this morning, where he dared Massie and Khanna to “bring it on,” maintaining that the DOJ is simply following the law and taking the necessary time to make redactions before releasing all of the files. Blanche told NBC's Kristen Welker that ensuring victim information is redacted “very much Trumps some deadline in the statute,” and he dared Khanna and Massie to file Articles of Impeachment. “We are complying with the statute, we will continue to comply with the statute, and if by complying with the statute, we don't produce everything on Friday, we produce things next week, and the week after, that's still compliance with the statute,” Blanche added.

Trump to replace nearly 30 career diplomats in ambassadorial positions with ‘America First' allies The U.S. chiefs of mission in at least 29 countries were informed last week that their tenures would end in January 2026; all of them had taken up their posts in the Biden administration The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the U.S. diplomatic posture abroad with personnel deemed fully supportive of President Donald Trump's “America First” priorities. All of them had taken up their posts in the Joe Biden administration but had survived an initial purge in the early months of Mr. Trump's second term that targeted mainly political appointees. That changed on Wednesday (December 17, 2025) when they began to receive notices from officials in Washington about their imminent departures.  How Trump shifted America's policy in a week Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President, although they typically remain at their posts for three to four years. Those affected by the shake-up are not losing their foreign service jobs but will be returning to Washington for other assignments should they wish to take them, the officials said. Africa is the continent most affected by the removals, with ambassadors from 13 countries being removed: Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mauritius, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia and Uganda. Second is Asia, with ambassadorial changes coming to six countries: Fiji, Laos, the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Vietnam affected.

Source: zerohedge.com Deep State Apoplectic with Trump's Use of Emissaries to Deliver Results President Trump is ducking and weaving through some of the deepest Machiavellian constructs, while maintaining forward progress. To put context to it, these creeps have had four years to strategize how to control Trump and manipulate policy with their retention of all sorts of government agencies in alignment with the status quo.  Yet, remarkably President Trump is dancing through their deep state minefield while keeping dozens of plates spinning on sticks.  The use of non-traditional emissaries is really making them angry.  , the use of emissaries outside the govt framework of traditional policy was going to be a key facet in any America-First agenda. The Deep State does not like President Trump's use of emissaries to conduct foreign policy.  In fact, they oppose it strongly; they hate it. The “emissary” is the person who carries the word of President Trump to any person identified by President Trump.  The emissary is very much like a tape recording of President Trump in human form.  The emissary travels to a location, meets a particular person or group, and then recites the opinion of the President.  The words spoken by the emissary, are the words of President Trump. The IC cannot inject themselves into this dynamic; that is why it is so valuable. The emissary then hears the response from the intended person or group, repeats it back to them to ensure he/she will return with clarity of intent as expressed, and then returns to the office of the presidency and repeats the reply for the President.  The emissary recites back exactly what he was /is told. This process is critical when you understand how thoroughly compromised the full Executive Branch is.  More importantly, this process becomes even more critical when you accept the Intelligence Community will lie to the office of the President to retain their power and position.

Before we move into a new year and start working on our 2026 goals, it's time to let go of the people and things that don't align with us anymore. By releasing what no longer serves us, we can make room for everything we want to call in for the new year. What I'm saying goodbye to in 2025
