Our priorities are often misaligned with our faith, as we give more attention to social media, sports, and entertainment than to God and our spouses. We need to reconsider what truly matters and make intentional changes to our daily habits.• Galatians 5:13-26 teaches us to use our freedom to serve one another in love, not to satisfy selfish desires• The fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control) should guide our daily lives• Discipline in faith and marriage means doing what's right even when we don't feel like it• Our closest neighbor is our spouse, who deserves our attention and love second only to God• Morality comes from God and doesn't change with society or time• John Jay (first Chief Justice) emphasized that moral law is unchanging and applies to everyone• The Medal of Honor recipient Dennis Bell voluntarily rescued wounded comrades in Cuba during the Spanish-American WarMake time for God today. Read His word and pray. If you're married, prioritize your spouse above everything else except God.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

On today's show we are talking about government involvement in the economy. Countries vary widely in terms of the extent to which government plays a role in the total economy. At the extreme end of the spectrum there are the purely authoritarian states based on communism. Places like Cuba and the old Soviet Union where government was the economy. But there are government initiatives within the US which frankly are worse. ---------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

You can find all the wonderful links on the linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts   Havana Syndrome is the name given to a series of mysterious health incidents that first came to public attention in late 2016, when U.S. diplomats and intelligence officers in Havana, Cuba, began reporting sudden, unexplained symptoms. The affected individuals described strange experiences—sometimes preceded by hearing a piercing, high-pitched sound or feeling pressure in their heads—followed by a range of medical issues, such as dizziness, headaches, nausea, hearing loss, vision problems, difficulty concentrating, and even cognitive impairment. The first wave occurred among personnel at the U.S. and Canadian embassies in Cuba, leading to strained diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba. Over the following years, reports of similar incidents spread to U.S. diplomats, spies, and other officials stationed in places like China, Russia, Europe, and even Washington, D.C. The U.S. government called the episodes "anomalous health incidents" (AHIs). From the start, theories about the cause varied widely: Directed Energy Weapons: One of the earliest and most sensational explanations was that a hostile power was using microwave or ultrasonic devices to target U.S. personnel, possibly for espionage or harassment. Sonic or Acoustic Devices: Early Cuban incidents led some to suspect hidden sound-based weapons, though experts quickly noted that most sound frequencies capable of causing physical harm would be unlikely to travel through walls and over distances without being obvious. Environmental Factors: Some scientists proposed that toxins, pesticides, or natural phenomena could have caused the symptoms. Mass Psychogenic Illness: Others suggested that stress, anxiety, and suggestion among closely knit groups could explain the spread of symptoms without a single physical cause. Medical Conditions: A few cases may have been unrelated illnesses that were misattributed to a larger pattern. Despite years of investigation—including from the FBI, CIA, CDC, and National Academies of Sciences—the cause remains disputed. In 2023, the U.S. intelligence community released an assessment stating that most cases could be explained by medical conditions, environmental factors, or stress responses, and that there was no credible evidence of a sustained foreign attack. However, some affected individuals and scientists remain unconvinced, pointing to the severity and clustering of symptoms as evidence of something more deliberate. The Havana Syndrome debate has since become part of both diplomatic security policy and modern espionage lore—half genuine medical mystery, half geopolitical intrigue. If you want, I can also map out the timeline of incidents to show how it spread from Havana to other parts of the world. That's where the story gets especially strange.

Meet Captain David Kilmer, a man whose life has been transformed by the sea. An accomplished sailor and storyteller, David Kilmer's journey began when his father launched a little wooden boat for him, named Skipper-N-Dad. This early experience sparked a lifelong love for the sea, leading to his first bluewater passage at the age of 25, a transformative 2,300-mile journey across the Pacific Ocean. By his early 30s, David Kilmer had already embarked on a life less ordinary. He ran off to the Caribbean, driven by a desire to become a boat captain, and spent five seasons working in the Grenadines. His book A Peril To Myself and Others is a vivid portrayal of those colorful and tumultuous times, a testament to the adventurous spirit that has always defined him. His latest book, The Way of the Sailor, is a captivating set of seagoing essays, meditations, and small adventures that explores what it truly means to be a sailor, the challenges and joys of life at sea, and ultimately, how to better navigate life itself. His books often delve into themes of adventure, self-discovery, and the beauty of the open ocean. From 2009 to 2019, David and his co-captain, Rebecca, cruised their 36-foot sailing sloop from Bellingham, Washington, to the Bahamas with stops in 12 countries, including Cuba and a transit of the Panama Canal along the route. Their journey was not just a personal adventure, but a testament to David's expertise and passion for sailing. David is the captain of the private sailing yacht Sizzler. You can purchase David's book on Amazon or Goodreads, or locally at the Well Read Moose or Mix it Up Home. Follow David on Instagam@captainkilmer or wayofthesailor.com

#798 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/798 In this episode of CJ's Reel Southern Podcast, Chad brings on his fishing crew — a mix of guides and friends he's traveled and fished with for years. They share funny and crazy stories from the water, like breaking gear, getting stuck in shallow flats, and even mistaking big bonefish for sharks. The crew talks about the teamwork it takes to fish together, the challenges of different waters like the Louisiana marsh and Florida flats, and how they've learned (and laughed) through plenty of mistakes. They also share how to book trips with them, whether it's tarpon in Florida, redfish in Louisiana, or even fishing in Cuba. It's a fun, laid-back conversation filled with good laughs, fishing tips, and the bond that comes from years of adventures together. #798 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/798

Che Guevara – the man whose name became a global symbol of rebellion and justice. Born in Argentina, Ernesto “Che” Guevara transformed from a curious medical student into a fearless revolutionary who challenged empires. His deep compassion for the poor and oppressed pushed him to fight alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba's liberation, where his courage, strategy, and leadership changed history. From the jungles of Cuba to the mountains of Congo and Bolivia, Che's relentless spirit inspired millions to dream of freedom. He was not just a guerilla commander but also a thinker, writer, and a voice for the voiceless. Even after his death, his words and image ignite revolutions of thought across continents. Che's life is a story of ideals, sacrifice, and the belief that one determined soul can change the fate of nations. KiranPrabha narrates the interesting life journey of Che Guevara in this multi part series. This is Part - 1.

In this episode of the How to Lead – 2025 Edition series, Julia speaks with Autumn Phillips, a travel writer, adventurer, and change leader, who spent two decades as a newspaper editor leading award-winning newsrooms across the United States. Autumn shares how to run a strategy meeting that doesn't feel like a slow march through an agenda. Drawing from her experience leading both high-pressure editorial rooms and creative retreats around the world, she explains how to create conditions where people feel safe enough to speak up and bold enough to think differently. From setting the right physical environment to lowering the stakes so risk-taking feels possible, Autumn offers practical steps to help teams listen better, push ideas further, and leave the room with a shared sense of momentum. Listen to this episode to learn how a well-led strategy meeting can do more than setting a plan. It can unlock creativity, trust, and collective energy.

Gaby Blanco from the Dissident Project was born and raised in Havana, Cuba. She joins me today to talk about the communist island American leftists love to defend— while living in the United States, of course. What's it like to grow up with food rationing, no freedom to criticize the state, and with Cuba's big business of medical slavery? Gaby separates truth from propaganda. I hope you enjoy it. And if you're in Cuba, please let me know. Thanks to the Revolution Cubans in Miami can freely criticize the Cuban government without fear of imprisonment. Cuba would be better off had it not waited until 2021 to legalize private companies.

En Bolivie, l'élection présidentielle a lieu dimanche prochain 17 août. La crise économique et les solutions proposées par les candidats ont été au cœur de la campagne électorale. L'une des propositions les plus en vogue : favoriser et développer l'élevage et l'agriculture dans l'est du pays. Un projet qui donne des ailes aux principaux intéressés, mais qui inquiète les communautés autochtones qui craignent un recul de leurs droits et une augmentation de la déforestation et des incendies. Reportage de Nils Sabin.  De notre correspondant en Bolivie,  À San Javier, dans l'est de la Bolivie, la campagne pour l'élection présidentielle du 17 août est particulièrement suivie. Cette petite ville de 15 000 habitants est la capitale laitière du département de Santa Cruz… Et les nombreux éleveurs locaux espèrent voir leur secteur favorisé par le prochain président. « Nous espérons, si Dieu le veut, qu'il y aura un changement et que le nouveau gouvernement aura en tête que la production et le progrès se trouvent ici », confie María Gloria Paz Tambare, présidente de l'association des éleveurs de San Javier. Malgré des lois environnementales très permissives, des prêts à taux bas, ou encore l'augmentation des permis de déforestation, l'agrobusiness, c'est-à-dire les secteurs de l'élevage et de l'agriculture à grande échelle, a le sentiment d'avoir été maltraité par les gouvernements de gauche de ces vingt dernières années. Selon Mauricio Tambare, éleveur rencontré dans son ranch à quelques kilomètres de San Javier, la Bolivie doit virer à droite et s'inspirer d'autres présidents conservateurs du continent : « On aime bien ce que fait Milei en Argentine, ce qu'a fait Bukele au Salvador. On ne demande pas que ce soit un copié-collé, mais que ce soit similaire à ce que fait Milei ». « Les candidats ont très peur de se fâcher avec l'agro-industrie bolivienne » Pour le secteur de l'élevage et de l'agriculture à grande échelle, la fin de la crise économique qui touche le pays — 17 % d'inflation depuis janvier, pénurie de carburant et de dollars — passe forcément par leur développement. « Pour nous, c'est très clair que si on ne nous permet pas d'exporter plus facilement, qu'on ne baisse pas les droits de douane, qu'on ne nous soutient pas, le pays va droit dans le mur », avance María Gloria Paz Tambare. Un message qui s'est peu à peu imposé dans la campagne électorale. Ainsi, Samuel Doria Medina et Jorge Quiroga, les deux candidats d'opposition en tête des sondages, proposent de faciliter les exportations de l'agrobusiness, de favoriser le développement technologique de ces secteurs et admettent qu'il faudra étendre la frontière agricole pour permettre leur développement. Et même chez les candidats se revendiquant de gauche, aucun n'ose remettre en cause cette idée. « Les candidats ont très peur de se fâcher avec l'agro-industrie bolivienne. Ils redoutent d'avoir une image qui va à l'encontre du secteur privé et d'être associés à des pays comme le Venezuela, l'Équateur ou Cuba », explique Stasiek Czaplicki, économiste environnemental, spécialisé sur la déforestation et les incendies. Et de rappeler que l'idée de résoudre la crise économique via le développement du secteur de l'agrobusiness n'est pas nouvelle : « Ça a déjà été fait dans les années 1980, dans les années 1950 et à d'autres moments de l'Histoire bolivienne ». Augmentation probable de la déforestation Mais du côté de la Centrale indigène Paikoneka, qui regroupe une soixantaine de communautés autochtones à San Javier, ces propositions inquiètent. « Nous avons analysé les programmes des différents candidats et il n'y en a pas un en faveur des droits des peuples indigènes ou de l'environnement », s'alarme Brian Baca Talamas, coordinateur des pompiers volontaires de l'organisation indigène. En effet, renforcer la place de l'élevage et de l'agriculture à grande échelle dans l'économie revient à continuer à agrandir la frontière agricole dans l'est de la Bolivie. En clair, cela favorisera la déforestation et les incendies alors qu'en 2024, le pays était le deuxième pays au monde avec le plus de forêts primaires au monde, derrière le Brésil, et que les incendies ont ravagé plus de 12 millions d'hectares, l'équivalent de quatre fois la superficie de la Suisse. Des conséquences écologiques vues comme des dommages collatéraux par les candidats. « S'il y a contradiction entre l'environnement et la production, je choisirai la production », a ainsi déclaré Samuel Doria Medina fin juin. Quant à Jorge Quiroga, il est rappelé dans la section environnement de son programme qu'une extension de la frontière agricole sera forcément nécessaire. « Tout le monde veut des solutions à la crise. Les candidats et une grande partie de la population sont prêts à voir une dégradation écologique si cela permet une amélioration économique », analyse Stasiek Czaplicki. L'année dernière, une vingtaine de communautés de l'organisation ont été touchées par les incendies historiques qui ont ravagé le pays. L'une de leurs peurs est que les incendies continuent de s'aggraver si des mesures favorables à l'agrobusiness sont prises. Pour s'y opposer, la Centrale indigène Paikoneka prépare déjà l'après-élection. « Nous sommes tous unis, les peuples des terres basses, pour qu'après le 17 août, nous fassions une manifestation pour exiger que l'on respecte nos territoires indigènes et nos droits », indique María Suárez Macoñó, l'une des dirigeantes de l'organisation. Entre crise économique, mesures d'austérité pour y mettre fin et recul écologique, les prochaines années s'annoncent difficiles pour la population bolivienne.

In his new book Coming Clean, Eric Heinze rejects the idea that we should be less woke. In fact, we need more wokeness, but of a new kind. Yes, we must teach about classism, racism, colonialism, patriarchy, and other gross injustices, but we must also educate the public about the left's own support for regimes that damaged and destroyed millions of lives for over a century—Stalin in the Soviet Union, Mao Zedong in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia, or the Kim dynasty in North Korea. Criticisms of Western wrongdoing are certainly important, yet Heinze explains that most on the political left have rarely engaged in the kinds of open and public self-scrutiny that they demand from others. Citing examples as different as the Ukraine war, LGBTQ+ people in Cuba, the concept of “hatred,” and the problem of leftwing antisemitism, Heinze explains why and how the left must change its memory politics if it is to claim any ethical high ground. Eric Heinze is Professor of Law and Humanities at Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of The Most Human Right: Why Free Speech is Everything (MIT Press), among other books, and has published over 100 articles and has been featured in radio and television and other media around the world. His new book is Coming Clean: The Rise of Critical Theory and the Future of the Left.

(Antevíspera del Aniversario de la Caída de Tenochtitlan) «Para quienes consideren que los hechos de armas son y han sido tarea exclusiva de hombres... el caso de la andaluza (o quizás cántabra) María [de] Estrada reviste especial interés.» Así comienza Manuel Lucena Giraldo, reconocido historiador español especialista en la Historia de América, un artículo publicado en el Diario ABC sobre aquella mujer aguerrida.1 El conquistador Francisco de Estrada, hermano de María, había acompañado a Cristóbal Colón como grumete, de modo que es probable que en 1509, cuando Francisco regresó al Nuevo Mundo para instalarse de forma permanente, María haya viajado con él.2 Como por entonces ella tenía ya entre treinta y cuarenta años, sus compañeros le habrían de poner el sobrenombre de «La vieja». Después de llegar a Cuba y de casarse con Pedro Sánchez Farfán, María participó en combates en la actual Matanzas y, según el doctor Lucena Giraldo, «hasta es posible que su hermosura la salvara de morir, pues un cacique la tomó para sí... hasta que los españoles se recuperaron de la derrota y volvió con su marido a Trinidad, al sur de la isla.» De Cuba a Veracruz, y de ahí a la sangrienta batalla de Otumba y al asalto final de Tenochtitlan, hay varios testigos oculares que constatan el papel que jugó María de Estrada en la conquista de México, mostrando desde el principio una capacidad guerrera que incluía hasta la invocación del apóstol Santiago en los asaltos. Por ejemplo, el cronista español-tlaxcalteca Diego Muñoz Camargo describe a María «con una espada y una rodela en las manos, peleando valerosamente con tanta furia y ánimo que excedía al esfuerzo de cualquier varón, por esforzado y animoso que fuera, que a los propios nuestros ponía espanto». Así mismo, el catedrático castellano Francisco Cervantes de Salazar recuerda que, después de la mortífera «Noche Triste» en la que murieron cientos de españoles e indígenas aliados, cuando el conquistador español Hernán Cortés ordenó que las mujeres que formaban parte de sus tropas se quedaran a descansar en la ciudad de Tlaxcala, María le reclamó: «No es bien, señor capitán, que mujeres dejen a sus maridos yendo a la guerra. Donde ellos murieren, moriremos nosotras, y es razón que los indios entiendan que somos tan valientes los españoles que hasta las mujeres saben pelear.»3 En lugar de sorprendernos, lo justo es que reconozcamos que, con ese arrojo, María de Estrada estaba siguiendo cabalmente el ejemplo de dos mujeres protagonistas del libro de los Jueces en la Biblia: la jueza Débora, que en calidad de comandante militar ordenó a su comandante Barac que atacara las tropas del general cananeo Sísara y lo acompañó porque él insistió que no iría sin ella; y Jael, la valerosa mujer que engañó a Sísara luego de vencido todo su ejército, y lo mató atravesándole la sien con una estaca, llevándose así la gloria de la victoria tal y como Débora había predicho que sucedería.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Manuel Lucena Giraldo, «María Estrada conquista México», Diario ABC, 4 agosto 2009 En línea 19 febrero 2025. 2 Wikipedia, s.v. «María de Estrada» En línea 19 febrero 2025. 3 Lucena Giraldo; Francisco Cervantes de Salazar, Cronica de la Nueva España, Libro quinto, Cap.

In 1989, Keith LaMar (aka Bomani Shakur) was sent to prison at age 19 for murder. He had been living in Cleveland, Ohio, where he sold drugs as a means of survival in the Crack-infested streets he knew as home. On a day that would forever change his life, Keith was robbed at gunpoint and exchanged gunfire with his robbers. He was shot twice in his legs and hit one of the other men in the chest. That young man, one a childhood friend, died. Keith pled guilty and was sent to prison for 18 years-to-life. Four years later, Keith was attempting to put together the broken pieces of his life at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, hoping for another chance at life. It was an Easter Sunday, and the weather had just turned warmer; Keith and about 400 other men were outside exercising in the rec-yard when commotion broke out inside and it became clear that some type of protest was underway. Keith made a quick decision to slip inside for a few minutes to secure his personal belongings (since his cell assignment was in the area being taken over). Once back out in the yard, he and the others waited to see what would transpire, watching as the bodies of several men were dumped onto the yard. As Easter came to an end, the Ohio State Highway Patrol rounded up those on the yard and secured them into another part of the facility. Prison records prove that Keith was among them. Though no one could have predicted what exactly was happening, or how it would all result, an 11-day siege ensued. In the end, nine inmates and one guard ultimately lost their lives. When the dust began to settle, the State of Ohio needed someone on whom to pin several of the early inmate deaths. This is where Keith's troubles began… A few months later, several prisoners were enticed with the promise of early paroles and/or dropped charges if only they would come up with a reasonable story to help the State sweep up the “mess” at their out-of-control prison. They determined Keith would be the fall guy, and they pointed their fingers at him. Thus, to make it all come together convincingly, the prosecution withheld actual confessions from his defense, as well as eyewitness statements that contradicted their fabricated version of events. In spite of zero DNA or forensic evidence, they moved forward with their accusations against Keith. In fact, they made sure his trial would be racially biased in their favor by calling for the removal of the few potential black jurors, and by holding his trial in an all-white county in southern Ohio. In spite of having no motive to kill anyone, no actual proof connecting him, nor any affiliation with any of the groups organizing the uprising, the jury didn't take long to find Keith LaMar guilty of the murder of five of the inmates. He was sentenced to death. Albert Marquès is a pianist, composer, and political activist from a working class, industrial town outside of Barcelona, where he worked in factories through school. A member of a Catalan anti-capitalist organization as a teenager, he narrowly escaped being detained for his activism. Influenced by the local punk scene, as well as jazz recordings of musicians like Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Michel Camilo and Herbie Hancock, he was self-taught until he attended Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu. After graduation, he made two pivotal trips which changed his life, spending a month in the West Bank in Palestine and a month in Cuba. During his four years in Barcelona, he played with the best musicians of the scene, such as Marc Miralta, thanks to his unique, non-academic sound. Upon graduating, he moved to Paris, where he worked in a McDonald's until he learned French. In Paris, he played with musicians such as Remi Vignolo and Pierre Perchaud, and became the pianist in African American drummer Leon Parker's quartet. At 25, Albert moved to New York City, without knowing even one person, to play jazz. After a year and a half working as a waiter and going to jam sessions every night, he met his mentor Arturo O'Farrill, who gave him his own baby grand piano. In addition to his musical influence and encouragement, O'Farrill hired him to teach with his organization, the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance, a non-profit that gives free Latin jazz music lessons in the most disadvantaged New York City public schools. Albert also plays and collaborates with his sons, Adam and Zack O'Farrill. In 2014, he married the sculptor Mia Pearlman, with whom he has two children, Aviva and Sol. It is in New York that he finally combined his biggest influences: contemporary jazz, flamenco, Afro Cuban music and social justice by creating Freedom First. He has recorded four albums as a band leader, and regularly collaborates with rhythm master Ari Hoenig, Spanish flamenco singer and saxophonist Antonio Lizana, and other American and European musicians. ​Marques is the Music Director at the Institute for Collaborative Education in NY, a progressive, public middle and high school in downtown Manhattan.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Justice Department is launching a federal grand jury investigation into former Obama administration officials accused of their role in 2016's Russia-gate. This legal move could lead to criminal charges against key Cabinet members from the Obama era, including James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey. President Barack Obama needs to be questioned for his role. Barack Obama is the central figure in uncovering the full scope of the Russia Collusion scandal and the attempt to undermine the Trump campaign and presidency. The Supreme Court does not grant him blanket immunity. It offers a presumption of immunity, which could be challenged based on what the investigation reveals. Regardless, there is no immunity from criminal investigation or from being compelled to testify under oath—period. Israel is being attacked and accused of a deep Zionistic rhetoric that Israel has special interests regarding the spread of Zionism. Isreal is defending itself and protecting the freedoms of Jews, Christians and non-radical Muslims who oppose the Radical-Islamic regimes. Sen Elizabeth Warren met with Zohran Mamdani to endorse his socialist and Marxist agenda. Warren asserts that affordability is the primary crisis facing our nation, but this is merely a facade to disguise their true intentions. She also claims that this aligns with the Democratic message and their core values. Fidel Castro spoke of free healthcare, free food, and housing, yet he stifled his people's progress, leading to the current disastrous state of Cuba. The handouts they are advocating will ultimately cause more harm than good, jeopardizing everything you have worked tirelessly for, merely to provide for illegal immigrants, while also undermining essential institutions like our Police Departments, ICE, and more. Democrats have been more aggressive in gerrymandering than Republicans. There's not a single Republican representative from Massachusetts. There's only one Republican representative from Maryland. In 2020, the Census made "mathematic" errors resulting in upwards of 5 congressional seats assigned to blue states, which should have been held by red states. President Trump as an iconic, history-making president who thinks outside the box, achieving success as both a businessman and leader. Trump leverages America's economic power to rebuild industries, repatriate businesses, access closed economies, and compete with Communist China, while applying it to foreign policy—mirroring Ronald Reagan's approach that led to the Soviet Union's collapse. Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson warns of a "point of no return" for city finances amid a $1.1 billion 2026 deficit, pushing for tax hikes like a millionaire tax, corporate head tax and wants progressive revenue options. In On Power, it explains that the progressive movement aims to fundamentally transform America and Western democracies by centralizing government power, diminishing individual freedoms, and reengineering society through soft negative power. Johnson's progressive tax hikes reflects a drive to expand centralized governmental authority, which will erode economic freedoms and individual autonomy in pursuit of societal reengineering. This is what NYC can look forward to if Zohran Mamdani gets elected. Mandami repeatedly trashes America, failed to assimilate, and acting as a revolutionary against the country since his teenage arrival. His Marxist, Islamist, and Jew-hating ideologies echo terrorist lines. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Envía tu comentarioLos especialistas no coinciden al indicar el nombre verdadero del cantante: Francisco Raúl Pérez... Frank Grillo... Para la música cubana y el llamado jazz latino, es, simplemente, Machito. El presente episodio nos conduce a sus inicios en Cuba, cuando, mientras acompañaba a su señor padre a enviar mercancías al occidente de la Isla, escuchaba cómo cantaban sus empleados. Nacido en Marianao, Machito se crió en los barrios más musicales de La Habana, hasta llegar a Pogolotti. Viendo ensayar a un sexteto, fijó su atención en el maraquero: y decidió aprender. Su estilo y su modo con las maracas fue producto de su esfuerzo, sin escuela. En Cuba, cantó con varios sextetos, hasta llegar al Sexteto Occidente de María Teresa Vera. Llega a Nueva York en 1937 y de su trayectoria en la gran urbe dan fe varias de las muestras musicales aquí incluidas, con el Cuarteto Caney, la Orquesta de Xavier Cugat y la Siboney de Alberto Iznaga. Todo ello, antes de que Machito, su hermana Graciela y Mario Bauzá conformaran, al frente de la gran orquesta Machito y sus Afrocubans, la trilogía cubana más famosa en Norteamérica.Support the show¡SUSCRÍBETE!: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1702252/subscribe

Did a 6,000-year-old sunken city just surface near Cuba?  Are cloaked alien devices already monitoring Earth? Plus—demon fatigue in ghost hunting shows, a hybrid child that may rewrite human history, and yes... Matt Rife now babysits Annabelle the haunted doll. The stories are real. The drinks are too.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Sen Elizabeth Warren met with Zohran Mamdani to endorse his socialist and Marxist agenda. Warren asserts that affordability is the primary crisis facing our nation, but this is merely a facade to disguise their true intentions. She also claims that this aligns with the Democratic message and their core values. Fidel Castro spoke of free healthcare, free food, and housing, yet he stifled his people's progress, leading to the current disastrous state of Cuba. The handouts they are advocating will ultimately cause more harm than good, jeopardizing everything you have worked tirelessly for, merely to provide for illegal immigrants, while also undermining essential institutions like our Police Departments, ICE, and more. In addition, the extreme left and radical Islamists are attempting to sway our youth, Conservatives, and Republicans into harboring negative feelings towards Israel. This situation is perilous because it highlights exactly why these so-called influencers are pushing this agenda—they are thirsty for clicks. Furthermore, Jasmine Crocket, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Al Green, and the 5th Column isolationists are eager to back Hamas and the antisemitism that afflicts our country and the world. Crocket labels President Trump a Temu Nazi, which is both disrespectful and absurd; she is the one who truly supports the real Nazis - Radical Islamists, terrorists, and Marxists disguised as Democrats. Lastly,  Democrats are leaving Texas to affect the redistricting effort, putting it at a stall. Sen John Cornyn reached out to the FBI seeking assistance in locating, apprehending, and investigating numerous Texas Democratic lawmakers who have left the lone Star State to impede a Republican-led redistricting initiative.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Lockheed U-2 spy plane on its 70th anniversary, Boeing workers strike the St. Louis plant, the NTSB hearing on the DCA mid-air collision, and Injuries due to air turbulence. Also, Micah and Capt. Dana meet up and record the conversation, and news about this year's Cranky Dorkfest. Aviation News U-2 Just Set New Records On The 70th Anniversary Of Its First Flight Lockheed proposed the U-2 Dragon Lady spy plane in 1953, it was approved in 1954, and its first test flight took place in 1955, seventy years ago. According to ATC radio traffic, the U-2 just set several records, including an “endurance record for category and class for aircraft.” During the Cold War era, the U-2 flew over the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, and Cuba. Gary Powers was shot down in a CIA U-2 by a surface-to-air missile over the Soviet Union in 1960. Major Rudolf Anderson Jr. was shot down in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Instead, union membership voted to authorize a strike, potentially disrupting the production of Boeing aircraft. IAM District 837 Members in St. Louis Reject Latest Boeing Offer, Strike for Fair Contract Approximately 3,200 highly-skilled IAM Union members at Boeing facilities in St. Louis voted to reject a modified four-year labor agreement with Boeing. This vote follows members' rejection of Boeing's earlier proposal on Sunday, July 27.

FAA planning more helicopter route changes after fatal collision At a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)  investigative hearing, the FAA said additional changes will be made to a key helicopter route near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. This follows restrictions imposed in March and June. At the hearing, NTSB officials expressed concerns about the FAA failing to turn over documents in a timely manner, inaction by the agency after earlier reports of close calls, and a "disconnect" between controllers and FAA leaders. Turbulent SLC flight passengers likely entitled to up to $250k for damages, aviation attorney says “An aviation attorney says passengers on the Delta flight could be entitled to $250K in compensation.” The turbulence was encountered on a Delta Airbus A330-900 flying from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam. The plane diverted to Minneapolis, and 25 passengers and crew members were hospitalized.
