    If Judge Sullivan in Katie Phang's case against Todd Blanche and the DOJ was unhappy with the Government's filings in the past to block the production of Epstein file documents he ordered, he is going to be LIVID with the 3-page filing by Blanche's right-hand man, Stan Woodward, to try to stop contempt findings. Popok reports on the naked argument of counsel unsupported by any sworn statement, which makes it seem like the Judge was making a pretty-please request, instead of issuing a Judicial Order and fiat for the Government to comply with.

Beth traces her path from becoming a state CIO in Indiana at 28 through leadership roles at Capgemini, TELUS International, Atos, and the City of Indianapolis. So how did she do so much at such a young age? Beth credits it to a willingness to work outside rigid processes when they don't serve the outcome. She and Tammy dig into how AI risks compounding government's legacy-system problems if agencies automate broken workflows instead of modernizing first, and the promise of AI-powered care reaching rural and underserved communities.Please note that the views expressed may not necessarily be those of NTT DATALinks: Beth Howen Learn more about Launch by NTT DATASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Step into the shadowy fringes of the unknown with My Dark Path as we unravel one of the most terrifying monster encounters of 1952—the night the Flatwoods Monster descended on West Virginia.Host MF Thomas transports you to the misty hills of Flatwoods, Braxton County, where a group of boys playing football spot a fiery object streaking across the twilight sky and crashing on a remote hillside. Joined by their mother Kathleen May and young National Guardsman Gene Lemon with his dog, they climb toward a pulsing red flare—only to confront a towering 12-foot entity with an ace-of-spades shaped hood, glowing greenish-orange eyes like searchlights, a metallic body that hovers just above the ground, and a sickening metallic stench like burning electronics. The dog flees in terror, witnesses suffer immediate nausea and raw throats, while skid marks, oily residues, strange metal fragments, and mysterious federal agents posing as reporters swarm the town—complete with vanished evidence and media frenzy that still defy explanation decades later.Was the Flatwoods Monster a genuine extraterrestrial visitor, a mechanical probe from another world, a secret government missile test and cover-up, or simply mass hysteria triggered by a meteor?This episode blends eerie narration with historical context, skeptical scrutiny, and believer's evidence. Perfect for fans of unsolved enigmas, cryptids, and the paranormal.

    Text the show! George Washington's greatest accomplishment wasn't defeating Britain.It was giving power back.In this episode of Common Sense, Chad Law explores the forgotten principle that built America: stewardship.From Congress and family businesses to churches, corporations, and even our own homes, institutions don't usually collapse because bad people take over.They collapse because caretakers slowly become owners.Using history, psychology, leadership research, and one remarkable painting hanging inside the Capitol Rotunda, Chad examines why America's institutions struggle to renew themselves—and what every one of us can do to reverse the trend.This isn't really an episode about Washington.It's about every chair we'll someday have to leave behind.Chapters00:00 The Empty Chair: A Symbol of Power and Sacrifice03:11 The Mystery of Institutional Decline06:04 Caretakers vs. Owners: A Fundamental Question15:22 Washington's Legacy: The Chair He Refused18:47 The Science of Leadership and Institutional Health28:29 Congress: A Case Study in Institutional Failure35:56 The Role of Civil Servants36:57 Vidal Sassoon: A Legacy of Teaching and Selling39:48 Understanding Psychological Ownership44:00 The Importance of Stewardship in Institutions48:42 The Challenge of Leadership and Mentorship52:20 Building a Legacy Through Stewardship56:32 The Dinner Table: A Call to Action57:59 Final Thoughts on Stewardship and LegacyConnect with Common Sense

    Employees of three key State agencies use a computer programme called Passwork to generate and protect their passwords. It's a cybersecurity measure.But what they didn't know, before it was revealed by The Irish Times, is that Passwork, which purports to be EU-based, has extensive links to a Russian company licensed by Russia's security service.The agencies using Passwork are the Office of Public Works, the State Laboratory, which provides chemical testing and scientific advice to Government departments, and the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), the agency tasked with, among other things, helping consumers stay cyber safe. It is unclear how many other Irish State agencies use Passwork.So what does it mean for State security? Who has access to these passwords? And what does the Russian owner of the Spanish-based company that sold the Passwork programme to the State agencies say? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Labour is concerned that the Electoral Commission is not doing enough to enrol voters ahead of this year's election following changes to the law made by the current Government, which mean that voters cannot enrol or update their enrolment on election day or during the advanced voting period. This means that if the contact details associated with your enrolment are incorrect, your vote could be discounted. Labour justice spokesperson Camilla Belich told Andrew Dickens their concerns are that the changes will limit people's ability to participate in democracy. "We think that politicians should be making it easier for people to vote, not harder, and unfortunately the Government is doing the opposite," Belich said.

    This episode featured a conversation with Rahul Sonpimple, founder of the All-India Independent Scheduled Castes Association. Our conversation began with Rahul's conception of Indian history and the place of anti-caste struggle within it. We delved further into Rahul's own understanding of “anti-caste” as deeply rooted in Ambedkar's own argument about the necessity of force in emancipatory social transformation. Rahul was especially forthright about the political cost of elevating meekness as a moral condition, a choice that he associates with the rise of a Dalit middle class focused primarily on securing its own representational authority. This took us to a discussion of the need for an independent and consolidated Dalit politics rooted in the lives of the Dalit poor with sufficient leverage to negotiate terms with the state. The last part of the episode focused on Rahul's critique of both Ambedkarites and Indian Marxists for their disregard of caste as a material question. He spoke at particular length about the failure of Indian Marxists to advance a materalist critique of caste and how their analytical separation of caste and class has played into the hands of the Hindu Right. We ended the episode with Rahul laying out his own definition of Ambedkarism as a material and spiritual politics that recognizes the Dalit poor as a revolutionary class with the potential to rebuild society.

    The war against Iran has entered a fascinating new stage, with the United States leading the escalation. The days of worrying about President Trump's memorandum of understanding with Iran, promoted by the Vance-Witkoff wing, appear to be behind us. That deeply flawed arrangement was never going to last.Iran continued attacking commercial shipping and threatening American interests, causing the deal to collapse quickly. Now the United States is striking Iranian infrastructure, air-defense systems, coastal radar, missile and drone sites, logistics centers, naval vessels, Bandar Abbas port facilities, bridges, and the surveillance tower at Chabahar. A renewed American naval blockade is also isolating Iranian ports.Interestingly, Iran has launched missiles and drones toward American bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Qatar, and attacked UAE-connected vessels, but has so far refrained from firing at Israel. This hesitation suggests restored Israeli deterrence under Netanyahu's leadership.For years Netanyahu was mocked for identifying Iran as the central threat. Yet under his leadership, Israel built the military, intelligence, and diplomatic foundations to confront the regime. He navigated complicated diplomacy with the Trump administration without public rupture, allowing Iran's own behavior to destroy the flawed agreement.Netanyahu remains the leader best equipped to protect Israel. Recent statements by Gadi Eisenkot highlight how dangerous alternatives on the center-left would be.Strengthen your faith. Strengthen your support for Netanyahu.
