America's top-selling economics textbook defines communism as "the most benevolent form of economic system." That single sentence sums up why Texas State Board of Education members Julie Pickren and Brandon Hall asked PJTN president Laurie Cardoza-Moore to testify as they fought a terror-linked campaign to reshape how children learn about Israel, Judaism, and American history. In this webinar, Laurie sits down with Pickren, Hall, and PJTN senior academic fellow Dr. Sandra Alfonsi to unpack what the board won, what's still ahead when high school standards return to a vote in September, and why what happens in Texas doesn't stay in Texas — it shapes curriculum for 25 other states and over 30 million schoolchildren. The conversation also turns to New York's new mayor, with Dr. Alfonsi making the case that "Commie Mamdani" undersells the real ideology at work. This is a conversation about truth in the classroom, the return of the Bible to instructional materials, and the biblical responsibility to make sure the next generation is taught to stand with Israel, not against it.Follow, share, and support PJTN's mission at PJTN.org.0:00 They Renamed Communism in Textbooks0:42 Meet PJTN and Laurie Cardoza-Moore3:20 Inside the Texas TEKS Standards Hearing7:47 Julie Pickren on Defeating CAIR's Amendments11:57 Why High School Standards Got Delayed17:59 Brandon Hall on Putting the Bible Back in Schools25:12 Communism 101: Who Controls Your Child30:20 Q&A: Banning CAIR From Testifying36:11 Free Bluebonnet Curriculum for Every State40:57 How the New Standards Will Be Enforced45:48 Rising Antisemitism and "Commie Mamdani"52:12 Dr. Alfonsi: Communism as a Vehicle for Islamism55:28 Erasing Jewish History From Textbooks1:07:01 Closing Thoughts and How to Get InvolvedDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism.✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨

From surviving one of the darkest childhoods imaginable to becoming one of the most feared knockout artists in the UFC, this is the remarkable and unflinching life story of Drew McFedries.In Episode #339 of the MMA History Podcast, MMA Detective Mike Davis and Joey Venti sit down with former UFC middleweight contender Drew McFedries for one of the most powerful and honest interviews in the show's history. Drew opens up about growing up in a home destroyed by addiction and prostitution, where drug dealers and violent strangers constantly came through the house. As a young boy he became the protector for his younger brother and two little sisters, learning early that if he could not fight, the people he loved would pay the price. He discusses his mother's murder, being stabbed himself, and how every statistic suggested his life should have ended in prison, addiction, or an early grave.Instead, Drew walked into a gym and transformed into a devastating striker. The conversation explores his early days at the legendary Miletich Fighting Systems, the brutal sparring sessions, training alongside Matt Hughes and Robbie Lawler, and his rapid rise through Midwest tournaments. He shares stories from his first fights, the Lee Murray bout with no formal training, his battle with Crohn's disease that sidelined him for nearly a year, and his UFC debut on just 17 days notice against Alessio Sakara. Drew also reflects on key moments with fighters like Nate Quarry, Claude Patrick, Steve Dao, Tim Sylvia in his corner, and the unique challenges strikers faced in getting booked.Beyond the cage, this episode delves into deeper themes of survival, making different choices than the environment around him, family trauma, fatherhood considerations, and finding peace later in life through fishing, biking, and quiet reflection.This is far more than a typical fighter interview — it is a raw masterclass in resilience, personal accountability, and turning darkness into drive.Guest: Drew McFedriesEpisode: #339Fellow historians, welcome back to the only podcast 100 percent dedicated to preserving mixed martial arts history.Like and subscribe for more in-depth MMA stories direct from the fighters who lived them.

When Men Become Gods: Mormon Polygamist Warren Jeffs, His Cult of Fear, and the Women Who Fought BackIn When Men Become Gods, New York Times bestselling author Stephen Singular casts a light on a dark corner of religious extremism. He reveals a group of fundamentalists operating in the present-day United States, where teenage girls are kept in virtual bondage in the name of upholding the "sacred principle" of polygamy.As the leader and self-proclaimed prophet of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, a sect of Mormonism based in isolated southern Utah, Warren Jeffs held sway over thousands of followers for nearly a decade. His rule was utterly tyrannical. In addition to coercing young girls into polygamous marriages with older men, Jeffs reputedly took scores of wives, many of whom were his father's widows. Television, radio, and newspapers were shunned, creating a hidden community where polygamy was prized above all else.But in 2007, after a two-year manhunt that landed him on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List, Jeffs's reign was forcefully ended. He was convicted of rape as an accomplice for his role in arranging a marriage between a fourteen-year-old girl and her nineteen-year-old first cousin.In When Men Become Gods, Edgar Award nominee Stephen Singular traces Jeffs's rise to power and the concerted effort that led to his downfall. It was a movement championed by law enforcement, private investigators, the Feds, and perhaps most vocal of all, a group of former polygamous wives seeking to liberate young women from the arranged marriages they'd once endured. The book offers new revelations into a nearly impenetrable enclave---a place of nineteenth-century attire, inbreeding, and eerie seclusion---providing readers with a rare glimpse into a tradition that's almost a century old, but that has only now been exposed.https://amzn.to/4wbSxkhBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Now the dust has settled on two major maternity reviews, HSJ Health Check is joined by Dr Bill Kirkup to discuss what happens next.Dr Kirkup has been investigating maternity scandals for over a decade, including Morecambe Bay and East Kent. We discuss how the sector has responded to the tranche of recommendations, whether a public inquiry is needed, and how leaders should respond when things go wrong in their organisations. He also touched on more contentious issues, warning that the current clinical negligence system is set up to be “adversarial”, and how the NHS needs to avoid “othering” maternity services.

Let us know what you think of the show and what we can do better! A judge told William Brown something that should stop any veteran cold: New Jersey's anti-discrimination law did not clearly protect veterans like him. Bill is a former Navy SEAL, a working attorney, and the founder of the New York City SEAL Swim, so he did what he's trained to do when the mission matters. He adapted. He organized. And he took the fight out of the courtroom and into the legislature.We walk through the real mechanics of a successful advocacy campaign: how you identify a legal gap, build a coalition with veterans advocates and Gold Star families, show up at town halls, and keep pressure on elected officials without losing the plot. Bill shares what it felt like to face workplace retaliation, how cancel culture and DEI dynamics can shape professional life, and why free speech and viewpoint diversity are not academic ideas when your livelihood is on the line.We also talk about resilience and balance. Bill explains his concept of “adventure therapy” and why the New York City SEAL Swim brings healing, purpose, and unity to warfighters and supporters alike. The big takeaway is simple and demanding: democracy is a proactive sport, and lasting change takes endurance.If this conversation helps you think differently about veteran rights, workplace discrimination, or legislative strategy, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.Stories of Service presents guests' stories and opinions in their own words, reflecting their personal experiences and perspectives.

Galatians 3:15-29

The final installment of Summer In The City Month sees jealousy and rivalries erupt — inside the Dinner Partners studio! Christopher accuses his best friend Eric of wanting to replace him with renowned death investigator Barbara Butcher, who has better hair (maybe), a better car (unlikely) and a better facility for navigating autopsies (definitely). How can Christopher compete? The sixth episode of the first season of the new Peacock series THE DEATH INVESTIGATOR WITH BARBARA BUTCHER entitled “She Fought Back” brings things to a head. And Eric has a long simmering theory of the case he wants to test out on his co-host — provided Christopher can stop seeing red (or is it green?) every time he brings up Barbara. (Barbara, Barbara, Barbara!)

Josh Frei spent 17 years as a firefighter before pivoting to custom saunas, which means he already knew how to show up calm, problem solve fast, and never leave a job half done. He and Mark talk through the lessons learned when too many cooks in the kitchen cost a project days of rework, why a quick phone call beats an email thread every single time, and how Symmetry earned a lifetime partnership by driving benches across the country in a rental truck. Also: a former firefighter helping people sweat on purpose is the kind of career pivot that writes its own theme song, and yes, his crew actually made one.

Army Veteran Manny Pasillas Lucio shares the combat story that changed his life forever.Born in Mexico and raised in California, Manny grew up navigating family tension, poverty, and the streets of Compton before deciding to join the Army after 9/11. After basic training at Fort Benning, he was sent to Fort Lewis, Washington, where he became part of a Stryker infantry unit and later joined a scout sniper platoon.In this episode of Urban Valor, Manny opens up about his deployment to Iraq, including missions in Mosul, Baghdad, Taji, and Baqubah. He describes small team missions, hunting high-value targets, taking fire, encountering IEDs, working alongside other units, and the daily fear that came with operating outside the wire.Manny also shares the devastating moment his Stryker was hit by an IED while returning to base. He woke up choking on smoke, heard screams around him, and later discovered his teammate Billy Ferris didn't survive the blast. That moment stayed with him long after Iraq.After coming home, Manny struggled with PTSD, anger, depression, suicidal thoughts, family separation, and the painful reality of trying to become a father while still carrying the war inside him. He talks about pulling a gun on his mother after being startled awake, snapping at family members, feeling lost after the military, and eventually using education, therapy, fatherhood, and veteran advocacy to rebuild his life.Chapters00:00 Waking Up After the IED Blast01:25 Manny's Childhood in Mexico02:48 Coming to the United States03:49 Growing Up in Compton08:08 Learning Independence as a Kid10:05 Wanting to Become a Soldier10:50 How 9/11 Changed Everything11:37 Trying to Join the Military14:04 Watching the Iraq Invasion Begin15:31 Leaving for Basic Training16:23 Arriving at Fort Benning18:44 Building Confidence in Basic Training22:11 Getting Sent to a Stryker Unit23:24 Joining 5-20 Infantry26:23 Becoming an RTO27:57 Learning From Hard NCOs32:19 Being Offered West Point32:58 Moving to Scout Sniper Platoon36:24 Deploying to Iraq37:22 Landing in Kuwait38:39 Arriving in Mosul40:17 Small Kill Team Missions41:11 First IED Strike in Iraq41:51 Hunting a High-Value Target43:30 Walking Outside the Wire44:51 Capturing the Target46:25 Moving From Mosul to Baghdad47:11 Searching for a Downed Pilot47:52 Taking Another IED Hit49:26 Billy Borrows Manny's Blanket51:09 Spotting an IED on the Road53:28 The Stryker Gets Hit54:16 Escaping the Crushed Vehicle56:08 Searching for Billy57:30 Evacuating the Wounded58:47 Sergeant Pucket's Words After the Blast59:18 Returning to Base in Shock1:01:15 The Loss of Billy Ferris1:05:04 Billy's Memorial1:06:14 Back to Combat Operations1:07:04 Working With CIA and Special Forces1:08:29 Testifying in the Green Zone1:11:05 Inside Saddam's Palace1:12:00 Arriving in Baqubah1:13:19 Taking Fire From All Sides1:14:47 Clearing the City1:15:13 The Scariest Missions of His Life1:17:20 Finding Iraqi Police With Mortars1:19:14 Ambush and Firefight1:20:38 Becoming Numb to Loss1:22:10 Fighting Al Qaeda in Baqubah1:23:34 Coming Home From Iraq1:25:22 Almost Going to Ranger Battalion1:26:02 Leaving the Army1:27:10 PTSD Hits at Home1:28:26 Snapping Around Family1:30:07 His Family Didn't Know What Was Happening1:34:12 Struggling in the Reserves1:36:19 Drinking, Trouble, and Feeling Invincible1:37:29 A Bad Experience at the VA1:40:42 His Daughter Saved His Life1:42:49 Using the GI Bill1:43:14 Studying Psychology to Understand PTSD1:44:53 “I Am Not My Mistakes”1:45:39 Breaking Cultural Cycles1:46:35 Becoming a Better Father1:47:20 Helping Veterans Today1:49:10 Reconnecting With Family1:51:20 Why Manny Puts Himself First Now1:52:02 Talking Honestly With His Daughter1:53:24 Advocating for Veterans and Families1:54:34 Manny's Message to Struggling Veterans

First, a new documentary looks into how a group of moms fought back against anti-LGBTQ activists. Next, San Diego County supervisors are set to vote on increased staffing in some of the county's justice and law enforcement offices. Then, a new survey finds workplace violence is still a widespread problem for nurses. Also, a San Diego landmark is now open to the public for the first time in 30 years.

They stopped an armed robbery, held a suspect for police, and protected their coworkers — then got fired for it. Kim St. Onge uncovers the infuriating story of two St. Louis Starbucks employees who fought back against armed robbers at a campus-area location in December 2023, only to be terminated for violating company policy. Surveillance video just surfaced after years of litigation, and the details will make your blood boil. These workers were pistol-whipped, attacked, and staring down what they believed were loaded guns — and Starbucks said they should have just complied. The lawsuit is back in St. Louis circuit court and the outcome could send a massive message to corporate America about whose side they're really on. When companies value liability over the lives of the people who work for them, something has gone deeply wrong in this country. You need to hear every detail of this one.

In celebration of America's 250th, we'd like to officially invite you to enjoy this special episode telling the tale of that audacious, terrifying, and formative step taken by the Second Continental Congress to declare Independence in the summer of 1776. Fought over bitterly on July 1st, voted on affirmatively on the 2nd, with the exact wording finalized on the 4th—I mean, how could we not resurface episode #8's account of this story for this week? If you're new here, you may not have listened to it—here's your chance. And if you've been listening for a while, take a step back with me and remember why we revere this document. This is the story of independence and crushed hope.Congress is finally declaring independence but it isn't a straightforward process. Delegates have different perspectives; John Adams and John Dickinson are taking the floor to argue passionately for and against it. The vote will come down to the wire.It's also time to bring the "$10" Founding Father into the story. That's right. We'll meet Alexander Hamilton, get the backstory of his rough childhood in the Caribbean, and see how he ends up in the Big Apple.Speaking of NYC, George Washington has chased Lord William Howe from Boston to Manhattan, but this is a very different battlefield. He's going to have a harder go here than he did in New England.

We hope you're ready for the ultimate exercise in relational transparency, because this week's episode takes a turn that none of us saw coming. Lauren and Trey sit down after a two-week batching break to look at a pattern plaguing many hetero relationships: the feeling of being "duped" after the wedding ceremony when the lingerie, the dates, and the blowjobs seem to stop, or when a partner lets themselves go.Using Dané Logan's book Sovereign Love as a guide, Lauren opens up a conversation about entitlement, gender norms, and the cycles of caretaking and control. But things quickly shift from theoretical analysis to real-time practice. When Trey pushes back on the framework of "big P Patriarchy," an unexpected on-air conflict erupts over communication styles, interruptions, and hurt feelings. Instead of editing it out, Lauren and Trey leave the microphones running to show you the raw, awkward, and deeply human process of navigating a live trigger inside a long-term partnership.Lauren and Trey unpack the common complaint heard from straight men that the woman they married isn't the easygoing, sexually forward woman they dated. They look at both sides of this coin, from the abrupt halt of spontaneous sexual intimacy to the lack of effort in dating and appearance from men post-marriage.Lauren utilizes Emily Nagoski's framework to help men identify what they actually mean when they say they want more sex. Do they want connection, to feel wanted/desired, physical pleasure, or an adventure/escape?Halfway through the episode, the couple hits an original source wound. Trey shares how Lauren's hand gestures and "expert stage posture" made him feel small and cut off, causing him to mentally pull out of the conversation.Lauren clarifies that examining patriarchal marriage history (like dowries or women lacking bank accounts) isn't about blaming individual men. It's an invitation to wag the finger at historical systems rather than pointing it at your partner.If you and your partner are constantly getting caught in cycles of interruption, defensiveness, or sexual frustration, let's look at the patterns together.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

What happens when a place your people have prayed at for a thousand years becomes a uranium mining site? And what can one voice actually do to stop it? Sumaya Quitugua, a young woman from the Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico and Chamorro from Guam, grew up at the Sky City, in traditional adobe homes on top of a mesa, where her grandfather taught her that we don't own the land or the water. We protect them.  In this episode, Sumaya breaks down the fight for Chaco Canyon, a place protected by President Theodore Roosevelt over a century ago and named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, now targeted for uranium mining right up against its borders. She explains what's really at stake, what mining does to land and water that can never be undone, and how a seven-day public comment window turned into a hundred and fifty days because people refused to stay silent. This is for anyone who's ever wondered whether speaking up actually changes anything, and anyone who wants to understand sacred land from the people who carry it.   What You'll Discover: What actually makes a place sacred, and why it's a feeling, not a spot on a map Why the "buffer zone" around Chaco matters as much as the site itself What uranium mining really does to water, air, and the people who live there How seven days of public comment became a hundred and fifty How to visit a sacred site with respect, including what to do and what to say Why choosing not to learn is choosing to be part of the problem   Resources: Follow Sumaya Quitugua on Instagram Learn about the threat to Chaco Culture National Historical Park (NPCA) Discover Chaco Canyon's dark skies, stargazing, and archaeology (National Geographic)

Hey rebels! Take a break from breakin' rocks in the hot sun to listen to our episode on "I Fought The Law"! The original is by The Crickets, just after Buddy Holly became a slice of American Pie. But we all know the Bobby Fuller Four stole the song and made it their own - no cop is going to haul them in for their version. Can the same be said for other 60s scofflaws  Sir Henry & His Butlers and She Trinity? Eventually, another daring heist was done by The Clash in 1979, and the Dead Kennedys actually hijacked the song around the same time for some pertinent San Fran social commentary! I guess our race is run!

Audie Murphy- Is He The GREATEST WARRIOR of All Time? Watch this video at- https://youtu.be/jcmmCuDc578?si=dFfPLXJb7jQku-1H January 1945 — Holtzwihr, France. Winter had frozen the Vosges Mountains solid. German armor was rolling forward. Infantry followed close behind. And the American line was collapsing. Standing between the German assault and total breakthrough was a 19-year-old Texan who barely weighed 110 pounds. Audie Murphy was already one of the most decorated soldiers in the U.S. Army — but what happened that day would place him in a category all his own. With his unit shattered, tanks burning, and enemy infantry advancing through smoke and snow, Murphy climbed onto a flaming tank destroyer, manned its .50-caliber machine gun, and held off an entire German attack — alone. He called artillery onto his own position. Fought while wounded. And refused to fall back. This film tells the full, unfiltered story of Audie Murphy — not the Hollywood myth, but the real soldier: a dirt-poor kid from Texas who survived combat most men wouldn't, carried the weight of it home, and never stopped paying the price for what he did in uniform. It's a story about courage under impossible pressure… about the cost of heroism… and about why some names are remembered long after the guns fall silent. If stories like this matter, help us keep them alive. Watch, like, comment, and share — because American courage deserves to be remembered.

Host Clay Newcomb continues his personal exploration of the Civil War with historian J.D. Huitt of The History Underground YouTube channel. J.D. surprises Clay with historical documentation of his own third-great-grandfather, Thomas Newcomb, a Confederate soldier from southwest Arkansas. As they continue through the history of the war, Clay attempts to answer one of the most challenging questions in American history: Why did ordinary people choose to fight? The search for answers leads Clay and J.D. to the Fayetteville National Cemetery and the graves of Union soldiers who were scalped after the Battle of Pea Ridge. From there, they dive into the overlooked story of Native Americans in the Civil War, exploring why thousands of Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole soldiers sided with the Confederacy and the remarkable story of Stand Watie, the last Confederate general to surrender.

Welcome back to Living Hope Church. This week as we continue our series of I Fought The Law, Pastor Bill explores what it means to properly care for God's law in the age of grace. While Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial and civil laws of the Old Testament, God's moral law still reveals His character and points us toward a life of wisdom, holiness, and freedom.Through a powerful look at the story of the woman caught in adultery (John 8), we see the stark contrast between those who misuse God's law to condemn others and Jesus, who uses truth and grace to bring restoration. This message reminds us that God's law was never intended to be a weapon for shame, manipulation, or self-righteousness. Instead, it serves as a gift that reveals our need for a Savior and points us to Christ.Whether you identify more with the brokenness of the woman or the judgment of the Pharisees, the invitation is the same: come to Jesus, receive His grace, embrace His truth, and walk in the freedom He offers.Key Scriptures: Deuteronomy 4:2, Deuteronomy 5:32-33, John 8:1-11, Deuteronomy 17:6-7, Deuteronomy 22:22#IFoughtTheLaw #LivingHopeChurch #GraceAndTruth #JesusSaves #John8 #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTeaching #GodsLaw #FaithInJesus #LivingHopeWilliamsburgWelcome to Living Hope Church!

Tyler Anbinder discusses the significant role of the Irish in the American Civil War, particularly the 69th Regiment. Many joined for military training to eventually liberate Ireland, but they fought enthusiastically for the Union out of gratitude to their new home. Heroes like James Kavanaugh demonstrated extraordinary bravery at Antietam and Fredericksburg, though they often returned to menial work after the war. The segment also addresses the intense anti-Irish and anti-Catholic prejudice of the era, exemplified by Judson Saus, a ballroom teacher who felt compelled to hide his Irish identity to achieve professional success.

(6) Josiah Osgood recounts Caesar's campaigns in Britain and the subsequent Great Gallic Revolt led by the charismatic Vercingetorix. While Caesar fought for survival and glory, Cato exploited his struggles in Rome to portray him as a power-hungry threat. Following the murder of Clodius and rising urban anarchy, Cato made a pragmatic compromise by supporting Pompey as "sole consul" to restore order. This maneuver effectively turned Pompey into a junior dictator and Cato's ally. With Crassus killed in battle in the East, the Triumvirate was destroyed, leaving Caesarisolated and the Republic on the brink.

Danica Shoan Ankele, Sensei – ZMM – 5/29/26 – The true self, what is that? It was the question put to Monk Ming by the sixth ancestor and opened for him the Way. This pivotal moment is something that makes Zen what it is, what can't be planned, can't be sought after, but still it's the heart of our practice. Shoan Sensei asks us: what do you have faith in, and what do you still hold at arm's length? How can you, through practice, embrace the gift of your pure Buddha Nature being offered right now? (From the Gateless Gate, Case 23 – Think Neither Good Nor Evil.)

In October 2014, indigenous women in Mexico won a landmark victory in their struggle for political rights. It came after years of campaigning by Eufrosina Cruz Mendoza, a Zapotec woman who had been prevented from becoming mayor of her local community. She believed a system of special laws, allowing indigenous communities to self-govern with their own traditions, had allowed men to maintain their patriarchal positions but left women marginalised. After Eufrosina challenged those traditions, the Mexican Senate amended the constitution to ensure indigenous women had the right to vote and stand in elections. She speaks to Jacqueline Paine. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by and curious about the past.
