This is despite US tariffs which were initially set at to 49%, but later negotiated down to ~20%. At the same time, Chinese exports to the US plunged -40% YoY in Q3 2025. This comes as the region has a massive cost advantage over US and European manufacturing, which ranges from 20% to 100%, even after tariffs. Companies use Southeast Asian economies as alternative export bases to avoid China’s 37% reciprocal tariff. As a result, the amount of trade rerouting from China hit a record $23.7 billion in September. US trade flows are shifting sharply amid tariffs. https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/2008327708200104042?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2008516399564509382?s=20  https://twitter.com/DrJStrategy/status/2008306299235189133?s=20   and a decisive shift of policy emphasis toward productive capital and economic sovereignty rather than financial engineering, Trump has reoriented the engines of growth toward productive capital, investment, industry, and national capacity. Anchored by the Trump Corollary, asserting a sovereign, American‑led Western Hemisphere and demonstrated in both the flawless military operation in Venezuela and the broader regime‑pressure strategy, this doctrine is not theater but an integrated fusion of economic, security, and hemispheric power. These changes are as profound in their structural implications as the original Jacksonian pivot, and those who assume Trump is a merely performative politician and strategist are therefore sorely mistaken, confusing a disruptive style with a coherent focused project to realign America's coalition, its economic model, and its role in the world.

DOGE Corporation for Public Broadcasting Board Votes to Dissolve Organization in Act of Responsible Stewardship to Protect the Future of Public Media   The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the private, nonprofit corporation created by Congress to steward the federal government's investment in public broadcasting, announced today that its Board of Directors has voted to dissolve the organization after 58 years of service to the American public. The decision follows Congress's rescission of all of CPB's federal funding and comes after sustained political attacks that made it impossible for CPB to continue operating as the Public Broadcasting Act intended.

Greenland is the theatre where any strategic exchange between Washington and Moscow is contested. If you want to intercept a ballistic missile, the best point to do so is at the apogee, at the top of the flight path. The shortest route for an interceptor to get to an apogee is from directly below the apogee. That's where Greenland is. So, without stating what should happen here, this is **why** the Trump administration says they **need** Greenland for national security. The other thing that is happening is that the Northern Passage through the Arctic is opening up, and soon there will be Chinese cargo ships sailing through the Arctic to Rotterdam. It's faster than the Suez and the ships aren't limited to Suezmax size so China and EU trade is going to accelerate a lot. This means Chinese submarines will also be venturing under the Arctic into the Northern Atlantic, IF THEY AREN'T ALREADY DOING SO. Hence, the North East coast of Greenland serves not 1 but 2 critical strategic security objectives of US national security.

The most immediate outcome in capture of Maduro is to neutralize this threat and secure the operating companies stakes in Guyana, as well as Western Hemisphere’s energy security. By stabilizing Guyana’s production, which is set to hit 1.7 million barrels per day, the intervention guarantees way more oil flow in near term than reviving Venezuela’s aged infrastructure and heavy sour oil. This move protects billions in U.S. investment and positions Guyana producers as the ultimate winners. https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/2008448254095012088?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2008591197728813564?s=20  Mass Protests Enter 9th Straight Day in Iran — Regime Accused of Killing Young Woman and Multiple Peaceful Protesters as Officials Deny Responsibility — Brave 11-Year-Old Iranian Boy Calls on Nation: “Take to the Streets! We Have Nothing to Lose!” (VIDEO)  Protests against Iran's murderous Islamic regime continued across the country for a ninth straight day over the weekend, as nationwide unrest intensifies and the government struggles to maintain control. Demonstrations have now spread to multiple cities throughout Iran, with citizens openly defying the Islamic Republic and targeting its symbols of power. The latest wave of protests was initially sparked by the collapse of Iran's currency, further devastating an already-crippled economy and pushing ordinary Iranians to the brink.

They insist the world runs on rules now and that borders are sacred. Also that true power has been replaced by paperwork. This belief is not moral in the least. It's f*****g archaeological. They live inside institutions built by violence, defended by men they no longer understand, and guaranteed by forces they refuse to acknowledge. Like tourists wandering a fortress, they admire the stonework while mocking the idea of a siege. They confuse order with nature. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Then blame the person that reminds them of this. Civilization is not the default state of humanity. It is an achievement that is temporary, fragile, and expensive. It exists only where force once cleared the ground and still quietly patrols the perimeter. A lion does not debate the ethics of hunger. Neither does a starving empire. History is not a morality play, it is a pressure test. When pressure rises, abstractions collapse first. Laws follow power; they do NOT precede it. Property exists only where someone can prevent it from being taken. Sovereignty is not declared, it is enforced. The modern West outsourced this enforcement, then forgot the invoice existed. So when someone points out uncomfortable realities (whether about Greenland, Venezuela, or the broader balance of power) they respond with ritual incantations: “You can't do that.” “That's wrong.” “That's against the rules.” As if the rules themselves are armed. As if history paused because we asked nicely. This is how empires fall. Not from invasion alone, but from conceptual rot. From mistaking a long season of safety for a permanent condition. From believing lethality is immoral instead of foundational. Every civilization that forgot how violence works eventually relearned it the hard way. The conquerors did not arrive because they were monsters; they arrived because their victims could no longer imagine them. The tragedy is not that power still exists. The tragedy is that so many have forgotten it does. Idk who needs to hear this but civilization is a garden grown atop a graveyard. Ignore the soil, and someone else will plant something far less gentle. Hate me for being the messenger and asking the hard questions about conquest if you want. You're just wasting your time. War/Peace Zelenskyy Announces the Appointment of Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister, Chrystia Freeland as Economic Advisor  Chrystia Freeland was the former lead of the Canadian trade delegation when Trudeau realized he needed to try and offset the economic damage within the renegotiated NAFTA agreement known as the USMCA. Freeland was also the lead attack agent behind the debanking effort against Canadian truckers who opposed the vaccine mandate. In addition to holding Ukraine roots, the ideology of Chrystia Freeland as a multinational globalist and promoter for the World Economic Forum's ‘new world order' is well documented.    given the recent revelations about billions of laundered aid funds being skimmed by corrupt members of the Ukraine government, we can only imagine how much of the recovery funds would be apportioned to maintaining the life of indulgence the political leaders expect. In response to the lucrative “voluntary” appointment, Chrystia Freeland has announced her resignation from Canadian government in order to avoid any conflict of interest as the skimming is organized.

The “Coalition of the Willing” (including the UK, France, Germany, and others) is coordinating these pledges to reassure Kyiv, but the framework explicitly ties into U.S.-backed elements like ceasefire verification and long-term armaments.  Russia has not yet shown willingness to compromise on core demands, so the deal’s success remains uncertain, but this step advances the security pillar of the overall plan.

President Trump signs Executive Order 14287 in the Oval Office. The title reads like standard bureaucracy: “Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens.” But in the third paragraph, a single phrase changes everything: Sanctuary jurisdictions are engaging in “a lawless insurrection against the supremacy of Federal law.” Insurrection. The exact statutory term from 10 U.S.C. §§ 332-333 . The language that unlocks the Insurrection Act of 1807. Georgetown Law professor Martin Lederman publishes analysis within days. The executive order mirrors Section 334 requirements. The formal proclamation to disperse before military deployment. It designates unlawful actors, issues formal warning, establishes consequences. Governors dismiss it as political theater. Constitutional attorneys recognize something else. The proclamation was already issued. Trump just didn't announce it as such. THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK January 20, 2025. Inauguration Day. Hours after taking the oath, Trump issues Proclamation 10886 declaring a national emergency at the southern border. Section 6(b) requires a joint report within 90 days on whether to invoke the Insurrection Act. The deadline falls April 20, 2025. Eight days later comes Executive Order 14287 . National emergency declaration establishes crisis conditions. The 90-day clock forces formal evaluation. The executive order provides the legal predicate. Section 334 of the Insurrection Act mandates the president issue a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse before deploying military force. April 28 order satisfies every requirement. It names the actors. Describes their unlawful conduct. Warns of consequences. Grants opportunity to comply. Governors treated it as negotiation leverage. It was legal notification. The trap locked in April 2025. Everything since has been documentation. THE TESTING PHASE Throughout 2025, the administration attempts standard enforcement. National Guard deployments under existing authority. October 4, 2025 . Trump federalizes 300 Illinois National Guard members to protect ICE personnel in Chicago. Governor J.B. Pritzker files immediate legal challenge. Federal courts block the deployment. Posse Comitatus restricts military involvement in domestic law enforcement. November 2025 . Portland judge issues permanent injunction against Guard deployment in Oregon. December 23, 2025 . The Supreme Court denies emergency relief in Trump v. Illinois. Justice Kavanaugh files a brief concurrence with a consequential footnote: “One apparent ramification of the Court's opinion is that it could cause the President to use the U.S. military more than the National Guard.” Northwestern Law professor Paul Gowder decodes the signal : “This is basically an invitation for Trump to go straight to the Insurrection Act next time.” The courts established ordinary measures cannot succeed when states organize systematic resistance. They certified that regular law enforcement has become impracticable. They documented the exact threshold Section 332 requires. The founders designed a system that assumed conflict between federal and state authority. For decades, that friction was suppressed. Emergency powers normalized after 9/11, federal agencies expanded into state domains, courts deferred to administrative expertise. The Guard deployment battles weren't system failure. They were constitutional gravity reasserting itself. Courts blocking deployments under Posse Comitatus didn't weaken Trump's position. They certified that ordinary measures had become impracticable, crossing Section 332's threshold. December 31, 2025 . Trump announces Guard withdrawal from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland via Truth Social. Governor Newsom celebrates: “President Trump has finally admitted defeat.” But the machine's interpretation misreads strategic repositioning as retreat. You cannot claim ordinary measures have been exhausted if contested forces remain deployed. Pull back. Let obstruction resume unchecked. Document the refusal. Then demonstrate what unilateral executive action looks like when constitutional authority aligns. THE DEMONSTRATION Trump v. United States . THE HIDDEN NETWORKS Intelligence sources describe what the roundups since fall 2025 actually target. Embedded cartel operatives running fentanyl distribution chains under state-level protection. The riots following military arrests aren't organic resistance. They're funded backlash from criminal enterprises losing billions. Pre-staged materials appear at protest sites. Simultaneous actions coordinate across jurisdictions. The coordination runs deeper. Federal employee networks across multiple agencies held Zoom training sessions in early 2025. Officials with verified government IDs discussed “non-cooperation as non-violent direct action,” the 3.5% rule for governmental collapse, and infrastructure sabotage through coordinated sick calls. They planned to make federal law enforcement impracticable. The exact language Section 332 requires. Sanctuary policies exist because cartel operations generate billions flowing through state systems. Governors sit on nonprofit boards receiving federal grants. Those nonprofits contract back to state agencies, cycling federal dollars through “charitable” organizations. Cartel cash launders through these same construction and real estate networks. When Trump's operations extract high-value targets, they disrupt the business model. The Machine defends itself through coordinated obstruction designed to make federal enforcement impracticable. This transcends immigration policy. This tests whether states can capture governance for criminal enterprises and nullify federal supremacy. THE LINCOLN PARALLEL Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation confounded supporters and critics alike. Abolitionists expected moral thunder. Instead they received dry legalese about “military necessity” and “war powers.” The document deliberately avoided the word “freedom.” It specified which states, parishes, counties. It exempted border states still in the Union. Constitutional historians recognize the genius. Lincoln wasn't making a moral proclamation. He was establishing irreversible legal predicate under war powers. Once issued, even Northern defeat couldn't fully restore slavery. The proclamation made restoration of the old order structurally impossible. Trump's April 28 order follows identical construction. Critics expected immigration rhetoric. Instead: technical language about “unlawful insurrection” and “federal supremacy.” Specified sanctuary jurisdictions, formal notification procedures, funding suspensions. Avoided inflammatory language. Constitutional attorneys recognize the structure. Irreversible legal predicate under insurrection powers. Even political defeat cannot fully restore sanctuary authority. States would have to prove they're not in systematic insurrection. Both presidents disguised constitutional warfare as administrative procedure. THE COMPLETE RECORD When you review the eight-month timeline you recognize what most ‘experts' miss. The April 28 EO satisfied every Section 334 requirement. It designated sanctuary conduct as insurrection. It provided formal notification. It established consequences. It granted eight months to comply. Compliance never arrived. California and New York passed laws shielding criminal networks. Illinois officials threatened to prosecute ICE agents. Multiple states coordinated legal defenses against federal authority. Courts blocked every standard enforcement attempt. They certified that ordinary measures have become impracticable. Every statutory requirement checks complete: Formal proclamation warning insurgents to disperse: April 28, 2025 Executive Order 14287 Extended opportunity to comply: Eight months from April to December 2025 Documented systematic multi-state obstruction: Sanctuary laws, prosecution threats, coordinated resistance Exhausted ordinary enforcement measures: Guard deployments blocked by federal courts Judicial certification of impracticability: Supreme Court ruling with Kavanaugh footnote The legal architecture stands finished. The predicate has been established. Only the final triggering event remains. Thomas Jefferson signed the Insurrection Act into law on March 3, 1807 . He understood executive authority: forge the instrument ahead of the storm, then await the conditions that justify its use. Abraham Lincoln used it to preserve the Union when eleven states organized systematic resistance. Ulysses S. Grant invoked it to shatter the Ku Klux Klan when Southern governments refused to protect Black citizens. Dwight Eisenhower deployed federal troops to enforce Brown v. Board when Arkansas chose defiance. Each invocation followed the same pattern. Local authorities refuse to enforce federal law. The president issues formal proclamation. Forces deploy when resistance continues. The current situation exceeds every historical precedent in scale and coordination. Multiple state governments coordinating systematic obstruction. Sanctuary jurisdictions spanning dozens of cities. Criminal enterprises funding the resistance through captured state institutions. The April proclamation gave them eight months to stand down. They chose escalation. THE COUNTDOWN The January 4 statement confirms what the legal timeline already established. Prerequisites met. Constitutional threshold crossed and judicially certified. The operational timeline is active. The next escalation triggers the formal dispersal order. Section 334 requires the president issue proclamation ordering insurgents to “disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes” before deploying military force. That's the legal tripwire. Once issued, if obstruction persists after the compliance window closes, federal troops can enforce federal law. Active duty forces under the Insurrection Act. Constitutional. Unreviewable. The forces won't conduct door-to-door immigration raids. They'll provide security perimeters while federal law enforcement executes targeted operations against high-value assets. Operatives. Trafficking nodes. Criminal infrastructure. Targeting oath-bound officials elected and appointed, as well as federal employees who swore to uphold federal law and chose insurrection instead. THE RESTORATION Sanctuary jurisdictions received explicit insurrection warnings last spring. More than half a year to comply. Every olive branch rejected. Courts blocked ordinary enforcement repeatedly, certifying impracticability. The Venezuela op demonstrated unilateral resolve. Yesterday's statement activated the operational sequence. Pattern recognized. Machine is exposed. Evidence is complete. What remains is execution. They're just waiting to hear it tick. The most powerful weapon restrains until every prerequisite aligns. Until mercy extends fully and meets systematic rejection. Until the constitutional framework demands its use. Every prerequisite has aligned. Mercy has been extended and rejected. The framework demands its use. Revolution destroys. Reversion restores. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves. The Insurrection Proclamation frees a republic.  https://twitter.com/EkoLovesYou/status/2008304655156342936?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2008597603412308341?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

Signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, otherwise known as the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act, ushered in an unprecedented era of roadbuilding in the United States, becoming the largest public works project in the country's history. Designed to spread freedom and prosperity — and, as the name implies, provide for the national defense — these highways tore through urban neighborhoods, destroying once-thriving communities and displacing countless citizens, many of them people of color. In this special report, we examine just what inspired this massive project and the effects it had on two communities, one in New Orleans and one in Syracuse.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on New Years Day.  President Trump announces that the U.S. America has launched “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in Syria after ISIS ambushed and killed two of our soldiers and an interpreter. Trump promised overwhelming retaliation—and he's delivering—sending jets, helicopters, and artillery to wipe out ISIS fighters and their infrastructure. This is real leadership: when you kill Americans, you pay the price. Later, America was founded by Christians—all delegates at the Constitutional Convention and Second Continental Congress were Christian—and Christianity is a tolerant, and humane faith enabling religious minorities to live freely. The Declaration of Independence's references to God stem from Judeo-Christian values, with Christianity heavily influenced by Judaism, as recognized by the founders; modern efforts, like those by Tucker Carlson, to separate the two are a new attack on both Jews and Christians, repudiated as blasphemy by pastors.  Americanism is fundamentally incompatible with Islamism. There's an alliance between leftists and Islamists driven by a shared goal of destroying the West, America, its Constitution, and republican system. Afterward, America owes its greatness to the Republican Party, which ended slavery and passed civil rights acts that Democrats wrongly claim credit for, rooted in foundational principles called constitutional conservatism. Without it, the nation would be an awful, dark, lawless place. The party fights to secure borders, promote assimilation, teach true history (good, bad, and ugly), and elect conservatives who embrace national ideals, leading to better quality of life in free states compared to dying blue ones. However, internal threats like Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Steve Bannon seek to destroy the Republican Party—not just its establishment—and its Judeo-Christian foundations, abandoning the legacy of Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Reagan, and Trump, without specifying a replacement.  In addition, U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota has announced new indictments in the Somali community revealing industrial-scale fraud in the state's Medicaid programs, with half or more of the roughly $18 billion paid out since 2018 potentially fraudulent across at least 14 high-risk services. The fraud outpaces other states, risking essential services and ripping off taxpayers. Why isn't there any outrage from Democrats like Rep Ilhan Omar? Also, Inflation is decreasing significantly, and the U.S. economy is poised for improvement despite possible short-term dips, ultimately leading to growth. President Trump has implemented extensive pro-growth measures across sectors such as natural resources, food, commercial fisheries, and farming, including removing Biden-era regulations, and enacting massive tax and regulatory cuts reminiscent of Reagan's. Finally, we have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.  These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this New Year's solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan kicks off 2026 with a high-energy blueprint for business coaches determined to make this their best year yet. Karl offers sharp insights on building unstoppable momentum, creating impactful routines, mastering the power of execution over ideas, and developing unshakable resilience, along with a deep dive on AI, stock market bubbles, and actionable strategies to future-proof your coaching business. Key Topics Covered New Year, New Execution (Not New Year, New You) Karl dismantles the myth that a successful year just "happens," emphasizing the need for daily discipline and consistency. He shares why meaningful change is a product of relentless execution, not inspiration or wishful thinking. Maximizing Impact and Reach Expanding your influence means helping hundreds of people, not just your client list. Karl challenges coaches to launch podcasts, webinars, and value-packed emails, but stresses starting immediately, rather than waiting for the perfect plan. From Studying to Training Karl distinguishes between passively consuming knowledge (studying) and active skill-building (training), arguing that mastery comes from thousands of purposeful reps, not just time spent learning. Resilience, Mindset & Not Getting Offended He suggests that letting go of being easily offended is a powerful way to regain control, both in personal and business interactions, fostering stronger confidence and leadership. Goal Setting Versus Desire Management Karl breaks down why our goals and actual desires often conflict, providing concrete examples, then showing how new goals demand reshaped desires and crystal-clear "whys." Elite Leadership & Creating Space for Success The best leaders subtract drama, friction, and obstacles to create a fertile ground for others' success. Karl likens this to both sports coaching and business, advocating for an environment that evolves followers into leaders. The Dangers of Satisfaction: Staying Hungry Karl details the "crocodile after a meal" syndrome, how complacency kills momentum, and highlights stories of world-class athletes who maintain edge and discipline even after major wins. Planning & Execution: The Eisenhower and Munger Lessons He revisits classic advice: "The magic is not in the plan, but in the planning," borrowing from both Eisenhower and Charlie Munger's inversion principle to stress learning from failure as much as from chasing success. AI, Stock Markets, and Contrarian Thinking Answering questions about AI stock bubbles, Karl draws parallels with sports betting spreads and offers lessons from expert traders: when everyone thinks the same, the edge is lost. He advocates humility, diversification, dollar-cost averaging, and the importance of relevant financial literacy for coaches and their clients. Notable Quotes "New Year, New You is not a thing. Expecting next year to change without effort is like going to the marina and looking for an airplane to land." "I don't care about your ideas; I care about your execution. Your consistency and your discipline are mission-critical." "Stop getting offended. The good news? You'll stop being controlled." "Great leaders don't create followers, they create other leaders." "You can get lucky and make it. You can't get lucky and keep it." "The magic is not in the plan. The magic is in the planning." "I want to know where I'm going to die, so I'll never go there." (Charlie Munger) Actionable Takeaways • Start Now: Don't wait for the perfect moment or plan, your first email, podcast, or event is the hardest. Get it out, then iterate. • Measure Reps, Not Time: True mastery comes from consistent, purposeful practice (training), not just learning or clocking hours. • Get Out and Connect: Calendarize face-to-face time and community-building; loneliness erodes long-term success and well-being. • Shift from Busywork to Impact: Educate your list, serve generously in your free content, and only sell after delivering real value. • Build Resilience: Remind yourself that negative feedback or setbacks aren't personal, focus on execution and staying "hungry." • Set Monster Goals, Then Cut Ruthlessly: Aim high, then eliminate 80% of distractions and low-value activities to focus on what really moves the needle. • Use Inversion for Insight: When setting goals (or helping clients set them), ask: "How do I guarantee failure?" Then avoid those pitfalls. • Be Financially Literate for Clients: Understand core investing concepts (diversification, market math, dollar-cost averaging) so you can intelligently field client questions about wealth-building.

Darrell Castle ushers in 2026 by talking about the world as he sees it today along with some year-end thoughts about the past, the present, and the unknown future. Transcription/Notes BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is the 2nd day of January in the year of our Lord 2026. In this Castle Report I will be talking about the world as I see it today along with some year-end thoughts about the past, the present, and the unknown future. “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.” Those are the words of the Prince of Peace whose birth we just celebrated, and his words have been the bed rock of Western Civilization for over 2000 years. The decorations, gifts, and celebrations are just one of our connections to a Christian culture that has held Western Civilization together throughout its history. My thanks once again for Dr, Ron Paul's recent Liberty Report where he so eloquently sets these concepts out. Somehow it all seems different now. The mayor of New York City has been sworn in on the Quran rather than the bible. The nation itself with debt having surpassed $38 trillion Continues its enforcement of the Wolfowitz Doctrine which is part of the project for a new American century. Paul Wolfowitz put his name on a policy that still seems to drive the American government even under the America first president. Simply put, that doctrine says that American hegemony will dominate the world and no competitor which threatens that policy will be allowed to rise. The U.S. military will be used to destroy any competition. In practical terms, it means that the U.S. government will continue to use its military to bankrupt the country while exporting misery and suffering to others in pursuit of a global military empire on the framework of ancient Rome. My argument for you today is that this policy places the U.S. government in direct opposition to the title of this Castle Report. This year marked the first time the Defense budget item has surpassed the $1 trillion mark. Congress was so enthusiastic about it that they voted more money than the president asked for. The $1 trillion doesn't include interest on the defense related debt, veteran's affairs such as hospitals and lifetime care for the wounded and components of other agencies and departments with items related to defense so it is much larger than the published amount. Those who are responsible for such things probably still have a chance to save the economy if they did the responsible thing but instead they repeatedly do the opposite of the right thing. President Eisenhower was the last president to recognize what was happening and to refuse its allure. He also warned President Kennedy who tried to heed the warning but he died for those efforts. I paraphrase President Eisenhower's famous speech from 1953 entitled “The Chance for Peace” each of these dollars spent on military offense and the maintenance of the US global empire rather than on defense of our own nation is taken from the mouths of the hungry and off the backs of hardworking American families.” The new National Security Strategy document recently released by the Trump administration has set off a firestorm among those who favor warfare to solve every perceived problem. The document seems to be a reversal of the foreign policy doctrine that has existed since the end of World War ll. That policy included the formation of NATO with the US as the unofficial guarantor of military security. The US would accept responsibility for the defense of Western Europe and ensure that the Soviet Union was held intact. In return the US would have reserve currency status and would through that status control the world's economy. Reserve currency status ensured that the US would have the means through the accumulation of debt to fund its military in all circumstances. This was also a recognition by Europe that it was free to devote virtually all of its resources to rebuilding and to the welfare projects that would keep its citizens comfortable and thereby avoid revolution. The new strategy document seems to refute that policy and it appears to place Europe in some responsibility for its own defense. The Europeans don't like the policy shift at all but they are at least verbally adjusting to it. They came up with a way to obtain loans of up to $100 billion for Ukraine to continue the war to the last Ukrainian. The last few years have seen them trying to provoke a new war with Russia and this new policy might have a chilling effect on that desire. The US also included $800 million in the defense bill for Ukraine. Joan and I were talking about all this over breakfast the other day and she pointed out that people are starting to see fraud despite media refusal to discuss it. Some of those things like the fraud of the Somali community in Minnesota and the election fraud in Georgia now freely admitted are obvious. We also have the American people seeing their standard of living eaten away by inflation and an economy declining because it's burdened by debt. People are becoming aware of all this more and more as they see their country committed to the defense and foreign policy of a country far away. The people have come to realize that if they express criticism of that country's foreign policy the argument requires them to defend a charge of antisemitism instead of the policy. The same is true of the billions of fraud in Minnesota because the Governor of that state said that criticism was white supremacy so the argument is a defense of that charge instead of the fraud. Joan's position is that people are not ignorant despite media's refusal to report and investigate they are aware of what is going on. My response to her was yes, you are right but that puts us in the most dangerous position possibly ever. People see rampant crime and theft by government and they see government saying America first but its foreign policy seems to put another country's interest first, and that creates a dangerous, revolutionary atmosphere. I'm afraid that people are becoming aware that one of the founding principles which helped make America great is being erased and that principle is the empowerment of the individual over the power of the collective to demand obedience and compliance. In the American culture the individual counts and I'm afraid many are losing sight of that. The individual can take a stand against injustice without fear of reprisal from government. When governors have no argument against fraud except those who uncover it and point it out are white supremacists, and when senators have no response to pointing out the foreign policy faults of another country except to accuse those who object of antisemitism it means thee government officials have lost the argument because they have nothing to say. The real problem happens when government loses the argument as it has currently, which makes fraud and waste obvious to anyone. People try to change the system through voting but they see that it does not change very much. The worst frustration is that the dangerous revolutionary civil war tension is created when people see it, understand it, but nothing is ever done. They see fraud costing billions and they know that is just the tip of the iceberg. They see their money taken by the IRS to fund the wars in favor of other nations. They see fraud at every level and yet they are struggling to get by and they cannot get by without accumulating debt, which becomes unpayable. They know the difference between their debt and government debt is that they actually have to answer for theirs. Some of the things which have changed the lifestyles of the American people since the end of the covid confinement are really startling for the American families. Since covid, gas for utilities up 48.8%, car maintenance and repair 48.8%, car insurance 56.1%, coffee 46.1%, electricity 40.4%, meat 38.1%, used cars 33.6% bread 29,4%, milk 24.1%. I could go on and on with these numbers but just ask yourself if your income since covid has increased by anything close to these numbers. So, we can see the elements of an explosion building and smoldering. Couple this to the knowledge people have that they must send their children to schools which are run by people who hate them. Their children will be indoctrinated by teachers who hate them so their children will become like those who hate them and look to people who have caused the problem for the answer thus the inauguration of the mayor of our greatest city on the Quran. I know what you must be thinking, it's not everyone of them and there are some officials who really do care. Yes, I know about those people, but the truth is that the ones who claim to care make some angry speech to that effect and then go on about their business as if nothing happened. That is the demoralizing truth that we face here in the first month of 2026. In conclusion, whether we know it or not, we are all beneficiaries of the religion created by the one who is the author of the title of this Castle Report. The moral doctrine created by that religion has curbed power and defended the weak and helpless for over 2000 years. When you lay aside those moral principle you have power unleashed, enforced through force, and not limited by anything, to paraphrase Lenin. Finally, folks, as we start 2026 I close with another quote from President Eisenhower or at least I paraphrase him,” the people of the world are so desperate for peace that sooner or later the governments will have to step aside and let them have it.” At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

 A 1964 speech by author John StormerA description of the book:None Dare Call It Treason is a careful compilation of facts from hundreds of Congressional investigations of communism and dozens of authoritative books on the communist-socialist conspiracy to enslave America. It dissects the failures of the Eisenhower Administration just as effectively as it details the blunders of Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy and Johnson. It documents the concurrent decay in America's schools, churches, and press which has conditioned the American people to accept 20 years of retreat in the face of the communist enemy. You won't finish None Dare Call It Treason without concluding that America is in serious trouble.Camp Constitution is a New Hampshire based charitable trust.  We run a week-long family camp, man information tables at various venues, have a book publishing arm, and post videos from our camp and others that we think are of importance.

Long before World War II, the U.S. forced Native Americans onto reservations. After the Pearl Harbor bombing in 1941, the U.S. forced Japanese Americans into camps. In Arizona, the federal government once again looked to Indian reservations. In part two of his series on World War II internment camps in Arizona, KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. None of the eight other internment camps in the U.S. were on tribal lands, so why here in Arizona? UCLA anthropology professor Koji Lau-Ozawa has an answer. “John Collier, who was the commissioner of Indian Affairs at the time, advocated for all of the camps to be put on reservation lands. He thought that the Office of Indian Affairs was well suited to this task of managing these confined racialized populations.” The “Indian New Deal”, as FDR called it, was part of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 and tried making amends for past treatment by investing in tribal infrastructure. That was, until the war effort began. “Funds were starting to dry up. This presented an opportunity.” An opportunity to turn Japanese Americans into a source of prison labor to develop tribal resources, as shown by a 1943 propaganda film narrated by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's brother, Milton, about an internment camp in western Arizona. Brian Niiya says the U.S. embraced a stereotype. “Japanese Americans, with their supposed expertise and farming and agriculture, could help build up the land that would allow for the Native Americans to benefit from – without the consent of the tribes themselves, of course.” Niiya is editor of Densho Encyclopedia, which chronicles the camps' history. Without much legal representation or political clout at that time, the Gila River Indian Community and Colorado River Indian Tribes both tried fighting camp construction, but failed. “Through the Office of Indian Affairs, I think there was just a thought that we could bulldoze our way through.” Once again, today's federal government is butting up against tribal land. The Trump administration's “Alligator Alcatraz” is being built near the Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park. “We're right in the middle of it. We have members that live within 500 feet of the detention center. You know, it's not like this distant thing that it is for a lot of Floridians in Naples or Miami.” Talbert Cypress is chairman of the 600-member Miccosukee Tribe, which brought Alligator Alcatraz to a halt. “We don't go to war anymore with the tomahawk or anything like that. You know, we go to courtrooms now, and we go to meetings with politicians.” (Photo courtesy Maxpixel / Boise City Archives, John Hardy Family Collection, MS084) Children across the country are being raised by relatives or close family friends. The Mountain West News Bureau's Daniel Spaulding has more on a new report highlighting the challenges facing these kinship families, which are more common within Indigenous communities. According to the U.S. Government of Accountability Office (GAO), these households are more likely to experience poverty and mental health issues. Kinship families are common in Mountain West states with high Indigenous populations like New Mexico and Arizona. Kathy Larin at GAO says kin caregiving is an important part of tribal culture, but because many Indigenous caregivers are outside the formal foster care system, they often receive less financial support. “One of the biggest challenges that we heard across the board for grandparents and other relatives that are raising, you know, their relative children is just the financial burden of it.” Larin says states could adopt standards and programs designed to better support kinship families.

Salmos 56: 11, NTVEl 3 de marzo de 1865, el Congreso de los Estados Unidos aprobó una ley, firmada por Abraham Lincoln justo antes de su asesinato, que autorizo al director de la fábrica de moneda a inscribir el lema In God We Trust (En Dios confiamos) «en todas las monedas de oro y plata que lo permitieran». Este lema apareció por primera vez en las monedas de dos centavos que se acuñaron en 1863 y se pusieron en circulación al año siguiente. En 1955, el Congreso aprobó que se colocara In God We Trust en todas las monedas y billetes de los Estados Unidos. El 30 de julio de 1956, el presidente Dwight D. Eisenhower firmó una resolución que convirtió esta frase en el lema oficial de los Estados Unidos.Después de su adopción como lema nacional, es común escuchar a los estadounidenses decir «en Dios confiamos», y por si se les olvida, la frase aparece en cada moneda y billete. Sin embargo, en lugar de solo colocar esta frase en nuestro dinero o nuestros símbolos patrios, ¿no sería mejor grabarla en nuestros corazones? «En Dios confiamos» es el mejor lema que tú y yo podemos escoger para nuestras vidas; es la mejor respuesta que podemos dar ante las adversidades que a menudo nos azotan.A ti y a mí nos ha tocado vivir en un mundo que ha depositado su confianza en políticos, deportistas, celebridades del mundo del espectáculo e influencers. Como resultado, nuestro mundo se ha tornado incierto, polarizado, racista, violento y lleno de miedo. ¿Cómo podemos llevar vidas plenas con tanta negatividad en nuestras ciudades, en los medios de comunicación y en el mundo en general? ¡Confiando en Dios!¿Sientes que el mundo se ha tornado oscuro? Confía en Dios, él es la luz (1 Juan 1:5). ¿Sientes que el mundo es violento? Confía en Dios, él es nuestra paz (Efesios 2:14). ¿Sientes que el mundo ha perdido la cabeza? Confía en Dios, él te dará cordura y serenidad para tomar las mejores decisiones. No sé qué pasará con el dólar, ni con la economía. De hecho, no sé nada de lo que pasará mañana, lo único que sé es que lo mejor que puedo hacer hoy es confiar en Dios. 

Elk halfjaar een andere lidstaat die de EU voorzit. Na Denemarken nu Cyprus. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger schetsen de dramatische politieke omstandigheden waarin dit eiland die bijzondere Europese rol moet gaan spelen. Drie existentiële, lange termijn uitdagingen moeten nu in hoog tempo een antwoord vinden. - Oorlog en vrede in Oekraïne en de EU-defensierol daarbij - Het Meerjarig Financieel Kader voor de Unie van 2028 tot en met 2034 - Het antwoord op Trumps nationale veiligheidsstrategie Elk van deze cruciale thema's zal direct het functioneren van een kabinet-Jetten onder druk zetten. Er is alle reden om grondig na te denken over de aansturing van de EU-koers van het nieuwe kabinet. De positie van Nederland is tijdens Schoof dramatisch verzwakt en de statuur van een Lubbers of een Rutte in Europa zal Jetten dan ook niet als vanzelfsprekend kunnen claimen. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Juist ook als Europese pilaar binnen de NAVO, samen met de Britten, Noren en Turken, en ook met Canada. In het kader van de veiligheidsgaranties voor Oekraïne en Moldavië zal een snelle en heel nieuwe vorm van toetreding van die landen tot de Unie hoogst actueel kunnen worden. Dat raakt direct de aanstaande toetreding van landen als Montenegro en Albanië. Bij de nieuwe zevenjaarsbegroting is de positie van Nederland precair. De afkerige houding van het kabinet-Schoof heeft ons land weinig bondgenoten geschonken. Bovendien moet Nederland ook voor de eigen begrotingsperikelen rekenen op medewerking vanuit Brussel. Daarbij komt dat grote buur Duitsland en de Scandinavische geestverwanten binnen de Unie nu meer dan voorheen de lijn van Mario Draghi en Ursula von der Leyen waarderen. Handhaaft Nederland de klassieke vrekkige houding, dan zou het wel eens geïsoleerd kunnen komen staan. Zo'n startpositie kan Rob Jetten zich bij het begin van zijn kabinet moeilijk veroorloven. Het antwoord op Trumps vernietigende analyse van toekomst en kwaliteit van de EU en zijn voorkuren voor 'verdeel en heers' tussen individuele lidstaten kwam in Den Haag scherp aan de orde tijdens een ontmoeting met Mark Rutte’s adjunct secretaris-generaal Radmila Šekerinska. Dat een Franse minister de Amerikaanse veiligheidsstrategie een ‘brutalité ideologique’ had genoemd, zette wel de toon. Relativering kwam meteen, want had niet élke Amerikaanse president sinds Dwight Eisenhower de Europese partners gemaand hun met het Wirtschaftswunder herwonnen welvaart ook voor hun verdediging in te zetten? Dat poetste niet weg dat Donald Trump - hoe anders dan Eisenhower, Richard Nixon of Ronald Reagan - de EU als zodanig een vijandelijk fenomeen vindt en Europa ‘een stervende beschaving’ noemt. De aanvankelijke sprakeloosheid van Europese leiders was dan ook niet zo vreemd. Eén van hen doorbrak die stilte. Bondskanselier Friedrich Merz kondigde ijskoud het einde aan van de 'Pax Americana'. Trumps omhelzing van radicaal-rechtse Europese partijen liet hij niet over zijn kant gaan. De VS keren terug naar de Monroe Doctrine uit de eerste helft van de 19e eeuw. Dezelfde tijd waarnaar Alexander Doegin en Vladimir Poetin verwijzen voor hun visie op de 'Ruski Mir', het unieke Russische nationalisme, dat het land een imperium met eigen beschaving verleende dat buurlanden als vazallen of buffers mocht onderdrukken. Net als in die jaren van Klemens von Metternich en later Otto von Bismarck zint Trump met Poetin op een wereldwijde dominantie van een kerngroep van vijf wereldmachten waarin voor de EU geen plaat is. De VS, Rusland, China, India en Japan maken de dienst uit, is de Amerikaanse gedachte. Verdeel en heers is ook het motto bij een ander wereldwijd initiatief uit Washington. De Pax Silica zou de hightech, chips en AI avant garde rond Amerika moeten scharen. En tegenover China. Slechts één EU-lidstaat rekent Washington tot die elite van de technologie: Nederland. Dit lijkt eervol, maar het zou ons land ook kunnen isoleren in EU en NAVO. Als Nederland beticht zou worden van een Alleingang ten koste van de partners, dan kon de positie van ons land wel eens precair worden. Cyprus krijgt komend half jaar heel wat voor de kiezen. Wie de historie en cultuur van dit eiland kent zal vaststellen dat ze daar eigenlijk al tientallen eeuwen geopolitieke en strategische crises en krachtmetingen gewend zijn. Van Alexander de Grote en de Perzen tot farao Echnaton en de kaliefs en sultans, vele heersers moeten zich met het eiland en zijn unieke strategische locatie en rijkdom aan zeldzame aardmetalen bezighouden. Rusland poogde het te veroveren, maar Bismarck bemiddelde en verzon het compromis dat de Britten het eiland maar beter konden inlijven. De Britse kruisvaarder koning Richard Lionheart moest er zijn bruid bevrijden en kroonde haar daar tot zijn koningin. Venetië kocht het eiland als vastgoed voor zijn maritieme handelsimperium en raakte daardoor verzeild in een felle oorlog met de Turken. Dat leverde ons wel de beste, meest dramatische opera van Giuseppe Verdi op. *** Verder luisteren 447 - Als Trump wint staat Europa er alleen voor https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/eee9ebfb-042b-4753-b70d-a48e915b5beb 551 – Klem tussen Amerika en China: de koude oorlog rond ASML https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/551-klem-tussen-amerika-en-china-de-nieuwe-koude-oorlog-rond-asml 548 – Poetins dictaat voor Oekraïne https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/548-poetins-dictaat-voor-oekra-ne 518 – Veiligheid is voor de Denen een sterke defensie en een streng migratiebeleid https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/f93ccf69-6946-455f-b401-c804dd5a03e9 503 - Duitsland maakt een nieuwe start met bondskanselier Friedrich Merz https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/b42190b5-afcd-4a80-af7c-20d9d8467a27 488 - Het Congres van Wenen (1814-1815) als briljant machtsspel https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1423134d-c671-4a71-805a-1d21ab9f7de6 486 - ‘Welkom in onze hel’ Een jonge verslaggever aan het front in Oekraïne https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/0552f0eb-998a-4af2-8960-05429aa1f510 458 - De gedroomde nieuwe wereldorde van Poetin en Xi https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/7e62cdac-bdb9-450c-af23-a7f974ec3e42 455 - De bufferstaat als historische - maar ongewenste - oplossing voor Oekraïne https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/0feef3c8-fd13-4461-860a-e54e2eba2f2c 427 - Europa wordt een grootmacht en daar moeten we het over hebben https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/84273d61-0203-4764-b876-79a25695bed1 *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:40:05 – Deel 2 01:14:43 – Deel 3 01:42:48 – EindeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Egypt purchased state of the art weaponry from the Soviet Union that obliterated any balance of power between Israel and her Arab adversaries. Egypt would have the armament, it already had the desire, to wipe out Israel. Israel naturally turned to its trusted ally, the United States, but the days of Harry Truman were over. The new President, Dwight Eisenhower, together with his State Department which has traditionally been slanted against Israel, saw wisdom in aligning with the far more numerous Arabs. Israel desperately needed a friend that manufactured weapons, and that ally turned out to be France.  France's primary motivation was the principle that the enemy of your enemy is your friend. FLN freedom fighters in Algeria were seeking freedom from France and they were armed and trained by Egypt.  When Nasser nationalizes the Suez Canal and expels western managers, Britain and France know that they must act and their unlikely partner is Israel.  Credits: Trailer Music Empire, String of Fire Epic History, Suez Crises Happy Coffee House, Paris Cafe Ambience with French Music for a Good Mood  Sammy Burdson Timpani Roll Soundrise Music Ticking Tension  Jedi Orchestra plays The Throne Room conducted by Andrzej Kucybała One For Israel "DAVID DANCED"  Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com Don't forget to subscribe, like and share!

Hay batallas que se pierden sobre el terreno y otras, en los despachos. Bahía de Cochinos se perdió en un despacho. Y no en uno cualquiera: el despacho oval de la Casa Blanca, ocupado entonces -primavera de 1961-, por el 35 presidente de los Estados Unidos, JFK. El plan para invadir Cuba y desalojar del poder a Castro y sus barbudos se había ideado a mediados de 1960, bajo el mandato de Eisenhower. A Kennedy, furibundo anticomunista, de entrada, le sonó bien la idea. Con una condición, eso sí. Estados Unidos, insistió el nuevo presidente, patrocinaría la expedición punitiva siempre que estuviera compuesta por cubanos. Kennedy, todavía bisoño, pretendía disimular el papel de su Administración en acciones encubiertas en el exterior. A la llamada a las armas acudieron alrededor de 1.500 cubanos de toda condición, con o sin experiencia de guerra. La instrucción, a cargo de los norteamericanos, tuvo lugar en distintas bases de los Estados Unidos y de Centroamérica a lo largo de nueve meses. Un dubitativo Kennedy no aprobó con carácter definitivo el plan hasta mediados de marzo de 1961, reservándose el derecho a anularlo hasta 48 horas antes del desembarco. Una vez cumplido el plazo, JFK no ganó en aplomo, siguió vacilante, abocando la operación al fracaso. Todavía quedaba una salida, tan desesperada como posibilitadora de una victoria contra todo pronóstico: que los Estados Unidos asumieran su papel protagonista en el desembarco, en lugar de seguir jugando a la patraña de la no intervención. Kennedy se negó. A la mayoría de los brigadistas capturados, Castro les respetó la vida. No a cualquier precio: para lograr su liberación, Estados Unidos entregó a Cuba tractores, medicinas y alimentos. El gran vencedor de la batalla fue Fidel, quien se presentó al mundo como el primer campeador contra el imperialismo yanqui. Kennedy acusó el golpe. Pero lejos de aceptar la derrota, se obsesionó con el asunto, ordenando varios planes para liquidar a Castro. Bahía de Cochinos era una afrenta que no podía quedar sin respuesta. Así lo prometió Kennedy a los brigadistas el 29 de diciembre de 1962, en un acto celebrado en el Orange Bowl de Miami. No pudo cumplir su promesa. Un año después, un francotirador acabaría con su vida. Sonido: César García. Diseño: Estudio OdZ. Contacto: galtozanogf@gmail.com Twitter: @GonzaloAltozano iVoox, Spotify, Apple.

Ahhh... Thanksgiving … That uniquely American tradition of sitting around the bountiful dinner table, enjoying the company of family and friends, and remembering this 1955 Newsreel: "As Thanksgiving nears, a seasonal gift to President Eisenhower is this strutting, impressive 39-pound Tom Turkey. Handsomest bird in all Nebraska. And perhaps the other 47 states as well. All the trimmings for the White House dinner come with him. A big basket of cranberries to complete the holiday platter. It's a lucky bird that graces the President's table. And he's gobbling with excitement at the prospect." Sadly for handsome 39-pound Tom Turkey, his luck soon ran out. President Eisenhower ate him. Decades later, with America more enlighted, tukeys no longer get eaten. They get pardoned. Presidential pardons. These days, Thanksgiving presidential turkey pardons are big, extravagant White House events. With comical turkey names, comical turkey quips, and lots of giggles and gobbles. Which can mean only thing: It's time for an "Extreme Mortman" White House Thanksgiving Presidential Turkey Pardon Ceremony contest.

In this episode of the MX3 Podcast, we dive into a powerful and often overlooked issue—why our schools, communities, and even our government fail to properly honor Veterans Day. We challenge the culture of lip service, explore the real origins of the holiday, and call out the disconnect between public institutions and the sacrifices made by those who served.We also break down the history behind November 11th, how the holiday evolved, and why most Americans don't know the meaning behind the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.” This conversation is direct, motivating, and a reminder of why our rights—including the right to vote—exist in the first place.▶️ Visit us at: www.mx3.vip  We discuss money, motivation, and events that impact everyday life.

After Israel's stunning and unpredictable victory (especially from the Arab perspective) in the War of Independence, there was a colossus of bruised pride in the Arab World. To answer the heretofore imponderable, "How could Israel have been victorious?" a narrative emerged, "We did not lose because Israel was strong, but rather because our leaders were weak." The search began for strong military men who could restore Arab dignity, and the undisputed rising star was Colonel Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. Nasser was a pan-Arabist who maintained that Arabs were born for greatness and should have had one of the most enduring empires, had they not been victims of colonialism. A Soviet shift in the 1950s pushed them from allies of Israel to adversaries. President Eisenhower, with the very strong support of his Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, decided to be stronger aligned with the Arab side in the conflict.

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-fifth episode, we explore the Chronocentrism Fallacy, starting with Trump going overboard announcing the Gaza ceasefire, a Trump fan saying when he thinks America was great the first time, and Eisenhower responding to Adlai Stevenson's campaign slogan.In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Thatcher in 1980 claiming everything's great, Cameron in 2016 claiming everything's great, Lord Bates claiming everything will soon be great, Boris Johnson claiming when you look back in 30 years' time everything now will seem great, and Starmer claiming he will make everything great.In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from Frasier, Quantum Leap, and Modern Family.Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.Then we talk about the recently released Epstein emails.And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.The full show notes for this episode can be found at https://fallacioustrump.com/ft185 Subscribe to Fallacious Trump to make sure you never miss a logical fallacy.

  Will future wars be decided by who controls space—cyber and outer—and which superpower has better paired geostrategic thinking with emerging technologies? Anne Neuberger, the Hoover Institution's William C. Edwards Distinguished Visiting Fellow and a former White House and Pentagon cyber policy advisor, joins GoodFellows regulars Sir Niall Ferguson, John H. Cochrane, and Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster to discuss what she sees as a “cyber gap” between China and America, the need for the US to rethink traditional weapons platforms (hello, drones), plus how Dwight Eisenhower's warning of a “military industry complex” is being redefined by the tech sector's growing role in present-day and future warfare. After that: the three fellows weigh the significance of a utopian socialist recently elected mayor of a very capitalist New York City, a new “algocracy” (algorithms running the government) in Albania, the UK's fabled BBC in hot water over alleged editorial bias, plus whether the “war of the tomorrow” may be in . . . Venezuela? Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

Laura Eisenhower, the great granddaughter of President Eisenhower, believes he created an elite leadership unit within the US military to safeguard the US Republic from the machinations of the Deep State/Cabal. She believes this White Hats military unit is behind recent UFO disclosures, and is also behind efforts to dismantle the Deep State, whose power base is rapidly collapsing worldwide. This has led to the prospects of extraterrestrial disclosure happening in the near future due to revelations by insiders such as JP who took her on a tour of Eglin AFB where he was stationed for four years.Laura believes that one of the key challenges confronting humanity is to discern between organic and synthetic Nordic extraterrestrials, the latter of which are skilled in deception, and behind the infiltration of ancient civilizations such as Lyra and organizations such as the Galactic Federation of Worlds. She believes that we need to develop our discernment and abilities as sovereign beings so we don't give our power away to extraterrestrials that are eager to help or may be compromised. Ultimately, Laura asserts that we are all expressions of infinite source intelligence and need to be on guard not to give our power away in the mistaken belief that extraterrestrials are wiser and more loving than us.

The world is a remake. Yesterday's show featured the MAGA remake of The Handmaid's Tale. Today it's Dr Strangelove 2.0 and the remaking of the trillion-dollar military-industrial complex in Silicon Valley. As William Hartung, co-author of The Trillion Dollar War Machine, notes, Dwight Eisenhower's old military-industrial complex has migrated west to Silicon Valley. It even has a Strangelovian anti-hero: mad Peter Thiel, co-founder of Palantir and the Curtis Le May character behind other Silicon Valley military start-ups. No wonder current American foreign policy—with its Monroe Doctrine meddling in Latin America—also appear to be a giant remake.1. Silicon Valley Has Become the New Military-Industrial Complex Dwight Eisenhower's old guard defense contractors—Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman—are being displaced by tech companies like Palantir, Anduril, and SpaceX. The “military-industrial-digital complex” represents a fundamental shift in how America builds and profits from its defense apparatus.2. The Defense Budget Is Out of Control—and Growing America spends roughly $1.5 trillion annually on military defense when you include the Pentagon budget, nuclear weapons, veterans' care, and interest on past war debt. This dwarfs spending on social programs like nutrition assistance and represents a stark trade-off: F-35s or feeding children.3. Peter Thiel Is the Curtis LeMay of Silicon Valley Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel embodies the dangerous fusion of tech innovation and military hawkishness. His companies profit from government surveillance and defense contracts while he promotes an ideology that treats Silicon Valley entrepreneurs as a superior form of human being who should colonize space and reshape foreign policy.4. The “Rebels” Narrative Is Corporate Propaganda Silicon Valley defense contractors style themselves as disruptive rebels challenging Pentagon bureaucracy, but they're simply a new generation of war profiteers. They're not democratizing foreign policy—they're making weapons more efficiently and lobbying for more aggressive military postures to justify their business models.5. America's Foreign Policy Has Become a Dangerous Remake From Monroe Doctrine-style meddling in Latin America to increasingly bellicose rhetoric about China, American foreign policy is recycling Cold War playbooks with 21st-century technology. The merger of Silicon Valley's move-fast-and-break-things ethos with Pentagon power creates genuinely Strangelovian risks.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode of The Deep Dive, we unravel one of the most provocative claims in the UFO discourse: that the real secret isn't just extraterrestrial visitation—it's the nature of reality itself. Drawing from documented testimony, insider accounts, and theoretical physics, we explore how decades of government secrecy may be rooted not in fear of aliens, but in fear of what their existence implies about consciousness, time, and space.We begin with high-level institutional knowledge. From General Arthur Exon's assertion that the Roswell crash was immediately recognized as extraterrestrial, to Eisenhower's alleged 1954 disappearance for a secret meeting at Edwards Air Force Base, the evidence suggests presidents and generals have long been aware—and complicit in cover-ups. Nixon reportedly showed alien bodies to comedian Jackie Gleason. Jimmy Carter, despite having seen a UFO himself, was denied access to files by CIA Director George H.W. Bush. Even Senator Barry Goldwater was refused entry to the rumored “Blue Room” at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, told the material was “above top secret.”But the story doesn't stop at politics. We follow the thread north to Canada, where Wilbert Smith, head of Project Magnet, publicly declared that flying saucers were real and piloted by ETs. Smith claimed to have handled debris from a 1952 Washington, D.C. incident—magnesium ferrite, a material harder than anything known at the time. This led researchers to a startling conclusion: the technology was so advanced, it forced a rethinking of physics itself.Enter consciousness. Smith and others began exploring ESP, telepathy, and the “hard problem” of subjective experience. Intelligence agencies even investigated automatic writing cases, such as Francis Swan's alleged contact with an entity named AFFA. The implication? That understanding UFOs might require understanding consciousness as a primary force—not a byproduct of matter, but the very ground of reality.This aligns with biocentrism, a theory suggesting that consciousness creates the universe, not the other way around. Nobel physicist Max Planck once said, “I regard consciousness as fundamental.” If true, then time, space, and even physical laws may be observer-dependent. Muon decay experiments and quantum wave collapse support this idea: reality becomes definite only when observed.So what does this mean for the UFO mystery? Abductees often report telepathic communication—clear, noise-free, and instantaneous. These beings may have mastered consciousness itself. And that's where the cover-up deepens. If millions have been abducted and governments can do nothing to stop it, disclosure would mean admitting total impotence. Worse, the social structure of these entities—hive-like, communal, lacking individuality—resembles ideological models antithetical to Western values. Revealing them might destabilize not just science, but society.Finally, we explore whether consciousness is an information field—and whether technologies like the internet, Memex, and even Google's algorithm were intuitive downloads from that field. If so, the ultimate secret may not be aliens at all. It may be the latent power of the human mind.Grant Cameron Websitewww.presidentialufo.org

How to use the Eisenhower Matrix to cut through chaos, focus on what truly matters, and make faster, smarter decisions as a small business owner. Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/587-eisenhower-matrix-prioritization/ Feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending to-do list? In this episode, Henry Lopez explains how to use the Eisenhower Matrix—a simple yet powerful framework—to prioritize your daily tasks and regain control of your time. Originally developed by Dwight D. Eisenhower and later popularized by Stephen Covey in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, the matrix helps business owners separate what's urgent from what's important, so they can focus on activities that truly move their business forward instead of reacting to every fire. Henry walks through how this framework complements the Big Rocks time management approach (Episode 569) and why most entrepreneurs mistakenly live in "urgent mode," constantly firefighting instead of leading strategically. He also shares how the Eisenhower Matrix inspired the creation of his free Task Management Tool, co-developed with his son-in-law, Colin Rhoades, using AI technology. "What is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important." — Dwight D. Eisenhower Henry and Colin also discuss how AI made it possible to create this simple browser-based productivity tool in just a few hours - proof that automation can make business life simpler in more ways than one. Listen to learn how to: Reduce overwhelm by categorizing tasks by urgency and importance. Identify your "Big Rocks" and schedule them intentionally. Use the Eisenhower Matrix for daily and even hourly decision-making... This episode is hosted by Henry Lopez.

Last month, former Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi suggested that local and state authorities in California, a sanctuary state, could arrest federal agents for enforcing federal immigration law, saying that while “the president may enjoy absolute immunity courtesy of his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not.” The former speaker, as well as other mayors and governors who see fit to nullify federal law, should take a moment and reread the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution, which “details that local state authorities are subject to treaties and the laws that the federal government makes. And, therefore, pursuant to those laws, they are subordinate,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “We know in 1961-63, we had another attempt to nullify the supremacy clause. Southern governors in Mississippi and Arkansas and Alabama said, 'Federal law does not apply here. The Supreme Court ruling does not apply here. In our opinion, we can run our schools the way local people want. And we're gonna resist you.' The Eisenhower, and then later the Kennedy administration, said, 'No, you're not. We have the federal government's military, and we can federalize and hold you in contempt and arrest you because of the supremacy clause.'"

It's a square-mile section of land in CT – a parcel where engineering science advancements were made, military leaders trained for combat, college football was played and Dwight Eisenhower hunted. Yet, it faded into a ghost town with abandoned buildings and amazing legacies. You can visit it, but all you'll find are some foundations and a unique stone water tower built nearly a century ago.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, John Bolton has been indicted on 18 counts by a federal grand jury in Maryland for mishandling classified information, including 8 counts of transmission and 10 counts of retention of national defense information. But this indictment is not retribution but a serious breach by someone who knew better, despite the Biden administration previously dropping a related investigation. Also, Rep Elise Stefanik responded to a NY Times reporter's inquiry about her labeling Zohran Mamdani a jihadist.  She responded in the best way possible – “I call Zohran Mamdani a jihadist because he is. Zohran Mamdani is a raging antisemite.” NY Times wants to give Mamdani cover, just like they did with the Holocaust.  Later, there's a Wall Street Journal article portraying the Trump administration's IRS overhaul—installing allies in the criminal division and reducing lawyer involvement—as a means to politically probe left-leaning groups. It's necessary to investigate George Soros-funded organizations tied to terrorism, Marxism, and efforts to overthrow the U.S. and other nations. This move address serious threats beyond politics, and it's a good thing that the Treasury Secretary is pursuing it. Afterward, Democrat-led cities and states are defying federal immigration laws by declaring themselves sanctuaries. President Trump is going to have to invoke the Insurrection Act—used 28 times historically, such as by Eisenhower against segregationists—to counter resistance from governors and mayors who block ICE and incite violence.
