In the final chapter of our three-part mezcal documentary, we turn our focus to the present and future of the category. Visiting the progressive palenque Lalocura and speaking with its founder, Eduardo Ángeles Carreno, AKA Lalo, we explore how industrialization, monoculture, and loose regulations threaten mezcal's roots. We also learn how traditional producers are fighting back — and what that means for your next bottle. With insight from Lalo, our travel companion Ivan Vazquez, and voices across Oaxaca, we ask: Can mezcal stay true to itself as it conquers the world? And where — if anywhere — do cocktails fit into that future?

US ELECTRIC GRID: FRAGILE, HENRY SOKOLSKI.. NPEC.DECEMBER 1961

Most casual Yes fans aren't familiar with their 1980 release Drama. After 8 years of gold and platinum releases, Drama failed to sell as well as its 70s prog counterparts like Close To The Edge or Fragile. When they went to the south of France to record in late 1979, it was the most celebrated Yes lineup of Jon Anderson (vocals), Chris Squire (Bass), Steve Howe (guitars), Rick Wakeman (keyboards) and Alan White (drums), Coming off two solid efforts in Going For The One and Tormato, there was strong interest in the band, especially in America where they'd prebooked a tour including 3 sold out shows at Madison Square Garden. However, factions took over and cracks were exposed in the harmony of the band. Howe, White and Squire would come later and bring producer Roy Thomas Baker with them. Those four would dismiss the airy and ethereal efforts of Wakeman and Anderson in favor of their own heavy and proggy riffs. After Alan White injured himself roller skating with Richard Branson (as one does), the retreated back to England but Anderson and Wakeman had had enough and they left the band. Under the same management of Brian Lane and using the same studios were The Buggles, Geoff Downes (Keyboards) and Trevor Horn (vocals) vehicle for their worldwide hit Video Killed The Radio Star. Chris Squire invited them in to help write some songs but really, he wanted them in the band. Though Trevor Horn was reluctant to try to replicate Jon Anderson's high pitched vocals, they eventually joined and recorded Drama. Critics said it sounded remarkably like Yes, maybe more than they expected. But while Trevor's vocals aren't an exact match of Anderson's, they do hit that high register and the work by the musicians of Yes is off the charts strong. Tempus Fugit is a quintessential Yes song and Run Through The Light gives Trevor something closer to his own range while Geoff modernizes Yes' sound. Many Yes fans decided that no Anderson and No Wakeman meant No Thanks. But Drama has aged well and even the Roger Dean cover, which was never a big favorite of The Wolf compared to most all he did with Yes and Asia, is something that grows on you. This is a hidden gem in the Yes catalog, one that The Wolf includes among his favorite Yes albums. Give it a chance, see if you agree. * And if you can get the 2004 remaster do so - it sounds great and has lots of bonus tracks including some from the Anderson/Wakeman sessions.

Même si on pense bien connaître notre Système solaire, il reste un grand nombre de phénomènes que la science n'explique toujours pas. Certains objets ont des trajectoires impossibles à prédire, d'autres semblent surgir de nulle part, et parfois même, des comportements inattendus défient nos lois physiques. Ces anomalies ne sont pas des cas isolés : elles s'accumulent, et dessinent les contours d'une ignorance encore profonde sur notre propre environnement spatial.L'un des exemples les plus frappants est celui de 3I/ATLAS, un objet interstellaire détecté en juillet 2025. Trop rapide pour être lié au Soleil, doté d'une trajectoire hyperbolique et d'une masse estimée bien supérieure à ses prédécesseurs, il soulève plus de questions qu'il n'en résout. D'où vient-il ? Pourquoi l'a-t-on détecté si tard ? Et surtout, que nous dit-il sur notre capacité à comprendre ce qui gravite autour de nous ? Ce nouvel intrus rappelle à quel point notre système est ouvert, instable et encore peu maîtrisé.Mais 3I/ATLAS n'est que la partie visible d'un iceberg bien plus vaste. De Sedna à l'axe du Soleil, des orbites bizarres aux lunes rétrogrades, des sursauts inexpliqués à la fameuse planète 9, tout indique que nos modèles sont incomplets.

Et si demander de la reconnaissance, ce n'était pas un caprice… mais un besoin vital ?Trop souvent, ce besoin reste silencieux. Par peur d'être jugé, de paraître faible, ou simplement parce qu'on a appris à “faire sans”. Et pourtant… nous avons tous besoin de sentir que ce que nous faisons compte.

In Part 2 of our three-part mezcal documentary, we travel deeper into mezcal's past, uncovering the ghosts that continue to haunt the spirit — from government crackdowns and corruption to secret hillside palenques and state-sanctioned Espadín monocultures. Joined by restaurateur Ivan Vazquez and legendary mezcaleros across Oaxaca, we explore how prohibition-era policies reshaped production, erased diversity, and left an indelible mark on the mezcal we drink today. This is a story of survival, adaptation, and the delicate balance between tradition and commerce.

One of the world's most protracted armed conflicts could finally be drawing to a close in Turkey. This month, a small group of fighters from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been waging an armed struggle against the Turkish state for greater minority rights, voluntarily disarmed. At a ceremony in northern Iraq, PKK commander Bese Hozart announced that the disarmament by 30 fighters - 15 men and 15 women - was undertaken freely and in line with the group's commitment to pursue a democratic socialist society through peaceful means. The fighters' weapons were burned as part of the symbolic event. The move came just days after the release of a video message from imprisoned PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, who reiterated his call for an end to the armed struggle and the formal dissolution of the group. It was the first time the Turkish public had heard Öcalan's voice since his incarceration in 1999. PKK ends 40-year fight but doubts remain about the next steps Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan responded by telling supporters that the country had reached a historic moment. Ankara now expects a complete disarmament of the remaining PKK fighters by autumn. Since the beginning of the peace process last year, Erdoğan has ruled out making concessions, insisting the rebels are unilaterally surrendering. However, the high-profile nature of the disarmament ceremony is increasing pressure on the government to respond in kind. “This is a historic moment; this is a conflict that has been going on for nearly half a century. Now it's the government's turn to actually open up the political space,” said Aslı Aydıntaşbaş of the Brookings Institution in Washington. “Both the Kurdish side and the Turkish side are telling their own constituencies that they're not giving up much—trying to convince their bases, which, in both cases, seem unprepared for such a radical shift,” she added. Kurdish leader Ocalan calls for PKK disarmament, paving way for peace Opaque negotiations, rising distrust As a gesture of goodwill, the government has reportedly improved Öcalan's prison conditions and allowed communication through a so-called “secretariat.” However, the PKK continues to press for broader concessions, including an amnesty for its members and the right for ex-fighters to return to Turkey. There have also been calls for Öcalan's release, alongside the release of tens of thousands of individuals jailed under Turkey's broad anti-terror laws. Yet concerns are mounting over the transparency of the peace negotiations. “It's really difficult even to assess it because we don't really know what's going on,” said Zeynep Ardıç, an expert on conflict resolution at Istanbul's Medeniyet University. “Some negotiations don't need to be public, but the public should still be informed,” she said. Ardıç warned that the current polarization in Turkish politics and a legacy of mistrust built over decades of conflict make transparency essential. “There should be a bit of transparency, because people don't trust state institutions, people don't trust each other, people don't trust the government or the judiciary. So, it's not easy to succeed under these circumstances. The government needs to reinstall trust - not just among Kurdish people, but among Turkish people as well.” Politics could undermine fragile progress Following the disarmament ceremony, Erdoğan announced the formation of a parliamentary commission to oversee the process, including members from his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), his coalition partner the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), and the pro-Kurdish People's Equality and Democracy Party (DEM). Notably absent was the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP), whose exclusion is fueling fears that Erdoğan is politicizing the peace process. Erdoğan requires the support of Kurdish parliamentarians to amend the constitution and potentially remove presidential term limits—allowing him to remain in power indefinitely. Turkey's Saturday Mothers keep up vigil for lost relatives “Erdoğan is trying to juggle two conflicting priorities,” noted analyst Atilla Yeşilada of U.S.-based consultancy Global Source Partners. “A: give the Kurds the least of what they want in return for a constitution that allows him to run again, and B: broaden his war against the CHP. I don't know how he can finesse that.” While Erdoğan speaks of a new era of unity between Turks, Arabs, and Kurds, he is simultaneously escalating a legal crackdown on the CHP, even going so far as to label the party a terror threat. This is a risky move, given that the pro-Kurdish DEM party has previously supported CHP candidates in both presidential and mayoral elections. Kurdish analyst Mesut Yeğen, of the Center for Social Impact Research in Istanbul, warned that Erdoğan may be overplaying his hand. “If Erdoğan's pressure on the CHP continues, then it's likely that DEM's electorate, members, and cadres could grow discontent,” Yeğen predicted. “They'll think that if Erdoğan succeeds against CHP, he'll start a similar campaign against the DEM. So I think they will strike a kind of balance.” Turkey's rivalry with Iran shifts as US threats create unlikely common ground Despite the uncertainty, powerful incentives remain on both sides to pursue peace. With the PKK largely pushed out of Turkish territory and facing military defeat, and Erdoğan in dire need of parliamentary support, momentum for a resolution is strong. But with negotiations shrouded in secrecy, many remain skeptical about what kind of peace this process will ultimately deliver.

In the first installment of our three-part mezcal documentary, we head deep into Oaxaca's rugged Sierra Sur to trace the roots of this singular spirit. Alongside Los Angeles restaurateur Ivan Vazquez, we visit traditional palenques and meet the maestro mezcaleros working with wild agave, ancestral tools, and techniques at risk of disappearing. This is the story of mezcal before the boom — a spirit once made in secret, passed down through generations, and shaped by place, labor, and fire.

Have you or your kids ever wrestled with hard questions about faith? If so, you're not alone and you're definitely in the right place today. This week, I'm talking with Nicholas McDonald about his personal journey through disillusionment, deconstruction, and ultimately a deep renewal of his hope in Jesus. His honesty, wisdom, and compassion are such a gift to parents who are navigating this with their kids or experiencing it themselves.Here are four takeaways from our conversation:Nicholas shows how asking hard questions can actually deepen faith when approached in a safe, truth-filled environment.Community is key. He shares why isolation makes doubt heavier and how loving, honest relationships can carry us through it.Parents don't need to have all the answers. Walking with your child through their questions with empathy and humility is more powerful than a perfect explanation.Hope is always on the table even in the hardest seasons, God's love remains, and he invites us to keep wrestling, trusting, and returning.Nicholas is a pastor, writer, and speaker with a heart for helping people encounter Jesus through the truth of Scripture and the beauty of story. He is the author of The Light in Our Eyes: Rediscovering the Love, Beauty, and Freedom of Jesus in an Age of Disillusionment, and his teaching often bridges the gap between doubt and belief for a new generation of Christians.I know this conversation will encourage your heart and give you practical wisdom for those messy, holy moments of parenting. You don't have to be perfect—you just have to show up.(00:00) Introduction and Background(05:24) Disillusionment with the Church(10:46) Parenting and Faith Challenges(16:27) The Importance of Community(22:02) Hope for the Future of FaithConnect with NickX accountSubstackThe Light in Our Eyes bookResources MentionedChristian Parenting resourcesA Great Cloud of Witnesses Prayer JournalThe Christian Parenting Podcast is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

When everything feels politically, emotionally, and culturally flammable… Is it even possible to speak the truth as a leader and not get burned? In Part 1 of this hard-hitting and profoundly personal conversation, Jeff Hancher, author of Firm Feedback in a Fragile World, joins Dov Baron to dissect the modern leadership paradox: How do you build a high-performance culture that welcomes critical conversations… without triggering fear, fragility, or fake harmony? . Jeff Hancher is a former senior executive in a $30B Fortune 500 company. However, what you won't see on his résumé is that he grew up in a household of abject poverty with two parents who were medically unable to work. He learned early how to read emotional volatility and became an elite leader by mastering empathy and precision under pressure. . This episode is for leaders navigating: Entitled teams and unspoken resentment Cancel culture minefields and performance fragility The tension between psychological safety and actual accountability It's not a soft talk. It's not a shaming session. . This is a fcuking masterclass in courageous feedback and real leadership in the era of emotional volatility.

Coming July 17, we're sharing a special, three-part miniseries on the Cocktail College feed: Mezcal's Untold Past, Soaring Present, and Fragile Future. Together with LA-based restaurateur, Ivan Vazquez, we traveled down to Oaxaca, Mexico to meet with with several maestro mezcaleros, and to better understand what mezcal is all about. These small-scale, traditional producers represent generations of experience and keep mezcal's beating cultural heart alive. They showed us some time-tested techniques that give mezcal its signature character, told us of ancestral practices that are slowly being lost, and shared stories of a time — more recent than you would think — when mezcal production was demonized, criminalized, and even driven underground. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Even after lifting a boil water advisory, Hillsborough town leaders called for people who live there to conserve their water. Intense floods overwhelmed the sanitary sewer system over the weekend. WRAL's Flynn Snyder explains the process to fix the system as concerns over more storms continue.

This episode discusses why perfection is a dangerous and fragile goal, explaining how striving for 100% leads to unsustainable outlier states. It highlights how setting perfection as a bar can cause commitments to break and plans to fail due to a lack of slack, and offers strategies like building redundancy and planning with slack to achieve goals more effectively without relying on perfection.Uncover why perfection is a dangerous and fragile goal, as it often requires exorbitant, unsustainable effort and creates outlier states that are unlikely to be maintained, referencing the "Wedies effect" where things tend to regress to the mean.Learn how planning for 100% utilisation or setting perfection as a commitment can lead to fragility, causing plans to fail when unexpected changes occur or leading to giving up altogether once a "perfect" streak is broken.Discover practical strategies to avoid fragile perfectionism, such as planning with slack to accommodate change and building redundancy into your systems and personal commitments for more robust outcomes.Explore why actively avoiding requirements or expectations of perfection is crucial, as investing in it can be an exponential or even asymptotic step, leading to an unsustainable and fragile state.Note: sorry about the plane noise in the background. I decided to publish it, since it's imperfect (and that's kind of making the point!).

Today, I am sharing my heart after a week heavy with loss, tragedy, and tough family decisions. From honoring a dear friend gone too soon, to grieving with fellow Texans after devastating floods, to facing the fragile season of caring for an aging loved one... Life is so precious.If your heart feels heavy too, you're not alone. Text me anytime at 855-849-0997 — I would love to pray for you or just hold space for whatever you're carrying.Hold your people close, say the things that matter, and love big — life can change in an instant.

Kevin Hincks says it doesn't take much to shake the markets as investors await the next earnings season in a week with little economic data. He points to yesterday's negative sentiment from Tesla (TSLA) and tariffs as the primary reasons for Monday's weakness. Kevin adds that bank stocks are getting downgraded based off "how far they've run" to the upside, especially into the earnings season. Later Kevin discusses the latest NFIB Small Business Optimism Index data and why companies might be carrying bigger inventories amid tariff uncertainty.======== 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-...Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-...Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/19192...Watch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplu...Watch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-net...Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What makes a society fragile? Fragile states expert Dr. Seth Kaplan shares the story of why he started researching the relational underpinnings of societies and how they contribute to societies' fragility and flourishing. He also discusses what a beautiful neighborhood looks like and why they're so important.In this clip of Beauty At Work episode, hosted by Brandon Vaidyanathan, Dr. Kaplan reflects on his intellectual journey—from global exploration and entrepreneurship to the study of fragile states and American communities. Drawing from his book Fragile Neighborhoods, he emphasizes the foundational role of social relationships in national stability and personal well-being, and explores how neighborhood-level vitality holds the key to reversing societal decline.For the full interview see: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043099/episodes/13769256For the broader project, visit: https://www.beautyatwork.netSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BeautyatWorkPodcast#SethKaplan #PoliticalScience #FragileStates #BeautyAtWork #PodcastEpisode #BeautyAtWork #BrandonVaidyanathan #NeighborhoodsMatter #ThrivingCommunities #BeautifulNeighborhoodsSupport the show

What happens when the world's reserve currency faces a crisis of confidence, yet alternatives remain elusive? Emmanuel Daniel, author of "The Great Transition: The Personalization of Finance," offers a fascinating perspective on this paradox that defines our current global economic moment.The dollar's remarkable resilience stems from an unexpected source – American indifference. "The US doesn't care. And that's how the dollar became global," Daniel explains. With approximately 70% of dollars circulating outside American borders and about 130 countries maintaining trade surpluses with the US, the dollar has become the de facto medium of exchange worldwide. Despite numerous attempts to challenge this hegemony – from the euro to China's renminbi to BRICS initiatives – no viable alternative has emerged. The fundamental obstacle? Trust. Even BRICS nations don't sufficiently trust each other's treasuries to establish a shared currency.We're witnessing a profound economic transformation that extends beyond currency matters. Daniel describes our transition from a markets economy (defined by buyer-seller transactions) to a networked economy where value derives from function and participation. This shift helps explain phenomena like cryptocurrencies, which puzzle traditional investors precisely because they operate on network principles rather than market principles.Most fascinating is how digital innovation, particularly stablecoins, is actually extending rather than undermining dollar dominance. These predominantly dollar-based digital assets, backed by US Treasury bonds, create new channels for global dollar use. As traditional financial systems face digitization, the personalization of finance accelerates – putting more control in the hands of individuals rather than institutions.This great transition presents both challenges and opportunities. Countries embracing technological change can leapfrog development stages, while education systems emphasizing learning discipline over specific content better prepare students for an AI-driven future. Despite internal challenges, the US maintains its economic edge through innovation and adaptability.Ready to understand the forces reshaping our financial future?

Come for the Skaven, stay because you failed your bribery check and now you're wanted for heresy. Want to Join the Adventure? If you're craving chaos, corruption, and career advancement (in-game, of course), join Ash Ely's West Marches campaign on StartPlaying.games. Explore the treacherous roads, clash blades with the forces of corruption, and roll the bones in the grimdark world of Warhammer Fantasy. Whether you're a grizzled veteran or fresh meat for the dice gods, Ash has a seat at the table for you. Show Notes: In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts venture deeper into the grim and perilous world of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. The conversation centers on how chance, mechanics, and narrative intertwine to create memorable and brutal gaming experiences. From unlucky dice rolls to warpstone corruption, the hosts unpack the intricate systems that shape character arcs, decision-making, and party dynamics. The discussion kicks off with a recap of the latest Elite Quest and its far-reaching consequences. As the players navigate dangerous terrain, social encounters, and the ever-present threat of death, they reflect on how randomness and risk shape both success and failure in meaningful ways. The hosts also explore the psychological toll of bad luck, the math behind randomness, and the emotional highs of roleplaying through adversity. Tying all of it together is a breakdown of Warhammer's signature mechanics: deadly combat, the role of Fate and Fortune, bribery and sin, and how religion and corruption guide a character's evolution. The conversation reveals how complex mechanics—when well understood—enhance immersion and storytelling at the table. Key Takeaways: The Elite Quest showcases how player decisions carry lasting consequences in Warhammer Fantasy. Luck isn't just flavor—it's a central mechanic that can define a character's fate. Players experience randomness differently depending on how dice rolls or generators are used, which can affect perceptions of fairness. Failure often leads to stronger roleplaying opportunities than success. Warhammer's social systems and bribery mechanics add tension and strategy to every interaction. Combat is brutally realistic, rewarding planning and punishing recklessness. Warpstone and the threat of corruption introduce moral and mechanical complications. Degrees of success and failure enrich the storytelling process by adding nuance to outcomes. Interacting with NPCs meaningfully influences player choices and world development. Understanding the game's mechanics, especially around risk management, is essential to enjoyable play. The Fate and Fortune system provides a safety net, but strategic use is crucial. Character Talents can drive unique and hilarious roleplay decisions. Religion, sin points, and moral consequences give depth to character arcs. Career advancement encourages players to evolve their characters narratively and mechanically. The Skaven hierarchy is complex and important to gameplay and setting immersion. Warhammer's economic systems may be intentionally frustrating to reflect the setting's grim realism. Accents and cultural misunderstandings (in-character) can lead to entertaining and awkward situations. A strong sense of gaming community adds to the emotional impact of each session. Audience engagement—both live and post-show—sparks thoughtful discussion and feedback.   If you enjoy the show, please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app. It's a quick, free way to support the podcast, and helps us reach new listeners.

The U.S. economy is sending more mixed signals than a Gen Z relationship status. One minute, the S&P 500 is flirting with all-time highs, the next, the housing market's giving you whiplash with record prices and signs of a downturn. Is it a buyer's market? Depends who you ask—and what city you're in. Meanwhile, if you've been financing burritos with Buy Now, Pay Later, congratulations: it's now officially affecting your credit score. That's right—your lunchtime debt just got real. ➡️ This episode is the financial equivalent of trying to read the tea leaves during a hurricane. The stock market's partying like it's 1999, Bitcoin is soaring on dollar weakness, and the Fed is quietly pretending they don't see any of it. Plus, Jeff Bezos has a foam party on a yacht, and somehow that ties into prenups, choice-of-law clauses, and Chris being petty about FaceTime etiquette. Yeah, we went there.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Let's get real. If you're stacking your agency's foundation on $20/month AI tools, congrats—you're in the honeymoon phase. But don't confuse cheap for stable. This ain't gonna last. We're in the Uber moment of AI. Remember those $3 rides in 2015? Promo codes flying like candy? Everyone thought, “This is amazing.” Then BOOM—same ride today costs $30, and you don't blink. Why? Because they normalized the spend. AI is doing the same damn thing right now. The Calm Before the Price Surge I was chatting with an agency owner the other week—four-person team doing the work of twenty. She's saving close to $800K in salary using AI. Impressive? Hell yeah. But also? Fragile. Because when AI replaces two full-time employees, it's not going to stay cheaper than lunch forever. These platforms are buying loyalty today so they can raise rates tomorrow. And when they do, the agencies who built real systems will survive while the rest scrambles. Automation Without Documentation = Fragile AF Here's the trap I see all over the place: Agencies getting lean and mean with automation… but not documenting jack. So when a tool changes, prices spike, or a platform shifts—what happens? They're rebuilding from scratch. Again. Smart operators are using AI to build leverage, not just save time. And they're documenting the whole playbook outside the tools. Prompts. Logic. Decisions. Workflows. Everything. Because they know when OpenAI changes the rules (and they will), they'll just pivot—without panic. 3-Phase AI Survival Plan (That Actually Makes You Money) Phase 1: Audit + Adapt List every AI tool you use. Ask: “If this cost 10x tomorrow, what breaks?” Document your workflows without AI. Don't skip this. You're looking for landmines now, so you're not surprised later. Phase 2: Build AI-Augmented IP Productize one service using AI—but don't lean on it 100%. Build templates based on your brain, not just the bot's. Train your agents and save the training outside the tool. Think like a software company, not a freelancer with ChatGPT. Phase 3: Future-Proof Your Value Sharpen your skills. AI is smart, but notstrategic. Build one offer that works with zero automation. Stay close to smart operators. This is a gold rush. Don't go it solo. This Isn't Anti-AI. It's Pro-Sanity. AI is a tool. It's not your team. It's not your strategy. And it's definitely not your moat. Use it. Document it. But don't depend on it. Because when the rules change—and they will—the agencies that built real systems and resilient IP will still be standing. Want a plan to build smarter leverage in your agency? Check out the Agency Playbook. It's the 8-system framework we've used to help agency owners like Derek Champagne scale from 7- to 8-figures in under a year.

FREEDOM!We are, America is, the home, the land of the:BRAVE AND THE FREE.We are lovers of freedom. It is, you could say, in our genes. We inherited that love of freedom from those who founded our great country, fought against the oppressors more than two centuries ago and built the foundation for the FREEDOMS we now enjoy today. Give us, we say with that great statesman and our forefather Patrick Henry, give us that LIBERTY or if that is taken away, give us death for there is no real life without freedom.For us, America is in fact exceptional no matter the indifferent attitude of Barack Hussein Obama who thinks that America is no more exceptional than any other country! But all of America and we the people are exceptional in so many ways, including our way of life and our lifestyle. Everything is okay down to the last sentence and raise and champion our great flag, and wear the American flag pin proudly, especially in the world of academia which thinks the American flag is a symbol for racism and xenophobia rather than exceptionalism.And now, we should take quality time to honor the founding documents which make us great, namely our Constitution, our Bill of Rights and our Declaration of Independence. We should honor these incredible documents by reading them, studying their content, understanding the values therein and resolving as the authors of these documents did, and honor our forefathers who provided them for us recommitting to them and the world at large that we the people will protect and preserve the freedoms contained therein, even to the laying down of our lives.In this day, there are so many who would CHANGE what we have, or even more radically so, eliminate it. There seems to be an ever-growing number of those in our very own country with little or no respect for our great founding documents, our freedoms, the principles by which we have lived and built THE GREAT SOCIETY, and especially what America has been, our glorious history. They the un-Americans wish to eliminate or erode so many of our freedoms and move this great country toward socialism. THEY are the enemy inside and THEY must be stopped. We the people, true Constitutional Americans energized and emboldened by our founding documents and founding fathers must make certain we do what is right for our great country, and as true patriots, protect and defend our freedoms as never before. We should do everything humanly possible to prevent socialism of any kind in thought or deed.We should remember the words of that great statesman, a founding father himself, Benjamin Franklin, who said, when asked, that he and his fellow revolutionaries have given us, Americans then and now, a REPUBLIC. Not a Democracy, but a Republic. Franklin went on to warn us then and now that this Republic was FRAGILE, and needed at all times to be protected with vigilance, vigor and valor. That this Republic of the combined United States could never be taken for granted. Nor could any citizen assume it would go on, and on. For freedom, for Franklin and the fathers, was a precious right that could only be sustained by watchful, involved and proactive citizens. We who would live in this free country and enjoy its immense freedoms must at all times be:WATCHMEN AND WOMEN ON THE WALLSNot talk, debate or discussion, but ACTION, actively working to protect our freedoms and our way of life, willing to die in the fray if necessary. Would you be willing to die, to lay all on the altar in the cause of freedom? What would you do if ISIS or jihadists attacked America and threatened harm to your family and you? What would you do? Our forefathers never gave the matter a second thought. They, in Second Amendment fashion, took up arms to defend their country, their freedoms and their family. Would you?In fact, we AMERICANS should be so proud of our country, and our freedoms, that we as a nation are ready at all times to help others in the cause of freedom. We gave the lives of millions of young American men and women to others in the cause of freedom. Witness World War II. One Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman 83 years young arrived in Paris by airplane. At French customs, it took him several minutes to locate his passport. The Customs Officer with sarcasm and disdain asked Mr. Whiting:“You have been to France before, Monsieur?”Mr. Whiting answered, yes he had and the smart aleck French official replied pompously:“Then you should know enough to have your passport ready!”Mr. Whiting then stared this official in the eye and said the following:“The last time I was here I didn't have to show my passport.”To which the French Customs Official replied:“Impossible! Americans always have to show passports on arrival in France!”Mr. Whiting gave this arrogant Frenchman a long hard look and he proudly stated:“Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day in 1944 to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchman to show a passport to!”You could have heard a pin drop. God bless America and God bless Mr. Whiting.And yet another instance of a proud American at work. When in England at a fairly large conference, Secretary of State Colin Powell was asked by the Arch Bishop of Canterbury if America's plans for Iraq were simply a rationalization for empire building or LAND-GRABBING by George Bush as American soldiers went to war. Powell simply answered by saying:“Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for FREEDOM beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those who did not return.”All attending that conference were deadly silent. Well said, Mr. Powell, well said as a proud American.There was once a conference in France when a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and American. One of the French engineers said the following:“Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?”Those in attendance snickered and jeered. That is, until an engineer from the Boeing company in America stood up and proudly stated:“Our aircraft carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people. They are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities. They have three cafeterias with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day. They can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day. They carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and the injured to and from their flight deck. We have eleven such aircraft carriers. How many does France have?”You could have heard a pin drop.And again, a U.S. Naval Admiral was attending a naval conference that included admirals from the united states, England, Canada, Australia and France. Every one in attendance was conversing in English. Suddenly a French Admiral complained the Europeans learn many languages but Americans learn only English. This French Admiral arrogantly and pompously said:“Why is that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French?”The American United States Naval Admiral stood up proudly and replied:“Maybe it is because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so that you would not have to speak German!”The room was deadly silent.So, whether here at home or anywhere abroad, anywhere in the world, it is our privilege, our duty, our passion to protect FREEDOM at every turn. That freedom means for us and ALL IN THE WORLD the fundamental rights, the God-given rights to:LIFELIBERTYTHE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESSIt is our right to live life free, with maximum freedom. It is our right to live and champion liberty everywhere. And, it is our right to pursue happiness as we define that, as free individuals, to pursue life legally and lovingly as WE choose. May it always be so, but it only can be if we are willing to do anything possible to protect those freedoms. ANYTHING! Are you?So now, this Independence week, culminating in the great day July 4, Independence Day, we should honor America, this great country in which we are privileged to live. We should honor all things American and we should honor our flag as a symbol of who we are and what we believe. There are those who would desecrate or cause to be irrelevant the great stars and stripes. There was the action of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) which banned the wearing of the American flag as a lapel pin or otherwise in clothing because the flag in their view was controversial and represented the causes of certain conservatives. How tragic, how ridiculous, how un-American the actions of the American Broadcasting Company. There are times when our President, our Congress, our leading citizens simply do not wear or honor the flag or any other symbol of all great things American. We the people should find all such conduct unacceptable and we should protest. The greatest form of protest is to protect, preserve and defend our freedoms and the symbol of those freedoms, the great American flag, the perfect symbol of our independence and the finest possible expression of freedom on the great day July 4, Independence Day. Do just that loudly and proudly my fellow citizens.Think carefully, my fellow Americans, about the precious freedoms granted by your Constitution and YOUR Bill of Rights. Remember that you are guaranteed the right to freedom of religion, to worship and practice religion as you please. You are guaranteed the right to free speech, to speak as you wish at anytime, anywhere, with any words. You are guaranteed the right to freely assemble, to petition, to print in press or on the Internet. YOU ARE GUARANTEED THOSE RIGHTS! You are guaranteed the right to bear arms, to purchase, own and use them for pleasure or in self-defense. You are guaranteed the right against governmental illegal search and seizure. You are guaranteed the right a trial by a jury of your peers rather than to be summarily convicted by any governmental agency. You are guaranteed the right to counsel if you can not afford one when charged with a crime. You are guaranteed the right to vote.You are guaranteed to pursue life, liberty and happiness as you wish! You are guaranteed by YOUR Constitution and Bill of Rights the highest and best form of living and lifestyle the world has ever known! You should give thanks for America, for all that it was, is and can be in the future if YOU as Benjamin Franklin so well said standup and do everything possible to KEEP IT that is the great experiment in freedom which our founding fathers intended. Please join with me this Independence Week, this Freedom Week and especially on the set-aside day for freedom celebration, namely July 4 in pledging once again our allegiance to this great country. Please join me in these great words which honor America:I pledge allegianceto the Flagof the United States of Americaand to the Republic for which it standsone nationindivisiblewith liberty and justicefor all!I ask humbly and lovingly that GOD BLESS AMERICA.And I ask humbly as well that GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!There is only one America. Keep it that way!

According to an early US intelligence assessment, the United States strikes on Iran did not destroy their nuclear sites. Instead, only setting back their program by months. The White House is strongly pushing back tonight. What does this all mean for the next steps in the region?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Fragile ceasefire holding, Trump envoy says peace talks with Iran promising, Senate Republicans juggle Iran and tax cuts in monumental week, and these are the best and cheapest states for seniors living alone.

Iran's strikes both before and apparently after a ceasefire began seem to threaten peace. If it holds, what will that mean for Iran's ambitions, and for the wider region? A meeting of NATO-country leaders seems precision-engineered to appease the alliance's most fickle member.

President Trump is in the Netherlands for the NATO summit as the ceasefire between Iran and Israel is holding. Israel described enormous damage to Iran’s nuclear program. But PBS News Hour learned an initial U.S. assessment of the damage caused by the American bombing of 3 Iranian nuclear sites suggests the sites have not been as destroyed as Trump has claimed. Nick Schifrin reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

A ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be on shaky ground after both sides traded strikes. Iranian hackers appear to be eying potential targets in the US. Consumers have been more cautious spenders lately. Boeing and the FAA are sharing the blame for last year's blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight. Plus, the latest target in a string of consumer boycotts.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
