We pull three tarot cards for an August 2026 forecast for love, money, and guidance, and land on a deeply down-to-earth theme: love gets sweeter when it's playful in daily life, and abundance grows when we handle the practical stuff. We talk candidly about financial and energetic strain, and why it's important to commit to follow through. We also have a GoFundMe to support our work on a Romanistan tarot deck, expanding romanistanpodcast.com to be an educational resource, and complete a memoir project.

Veteran musical director Diana Lee joins us this Yay. Diana Lee has been featured at the Hotel Nikko, Brava Theatre, the Hillbarn Theatre and many more. Jake and I talk about her upbringing, her career and where she sees herself in the future. You can reach Diana Lee directly via Instagram: @dianamusiclee If you had ever went to a Douglas Morrison Production, you would have seen amazingly built sets, created by the resident set designer, Tom Earlywine. Most of the staff was let go immediately after COVID, but all of us remember the excellent work of Tom. I'm sad to report that Tom passed away June 16, after a heart attack – he leaves behind his wife and two children. They have a Go Fund Me page to help them with funeral bills and other financial demands – if you ever cared for the great work of Tom Earlywine, I invite you to give – whatever you have.

Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Lion's Gate, Violet Fire, and the Shift of the Ages Rainbird, Tara, Rama, Caroline, Mother, and a Kryon recording explore Mayan calendar energies, Lammas harvest themes, solar and Schumann resonance shifts, political and galactic disclosure claims, channeled guidance, soul purpose, and the call to move through fear by remembering inner support and love. Opening the Council Fire and Reading the Mayan Energies This episode of Hard News on Friday opens with Rainbird welcoming listeners to Tara and Rama's Friday night program on BBS Radio Station One, then guiding the audience into breath, heart space, ancestors, guides, guardians, and a ceremonial council-fire setting. Rainbird calls in the seven galactic directions in the Mayan tradition, reads the Mayan calendar energies for the day and week ahead, and frames the transition from White Cosmic Wizard into the Blue Magnetic Eagle wave as a movement toward receptivity, timelessness, vision, service, and trust. The corrected transcript notes that spiritual, political, metaphysical, medical, astrological, and channeled claims are preserved as speaker statements and were not independently verified. Lammas, Harvest, Donations, and the Talking Stick Rainbird also connects the week's energies to Lughnasadh, or Lammas, describing it as the first of three harvest festivals and a seasonal turning point associated with bread, grain, corn, and gratitude. The opening segment includes listener-supported housekeeping, including BBS Radio expenses, Tara and Rama's living expenses, utility needs, PayPal information, mailing details, Rainbow Roundtable resources, and a GoFundMe reference. Rainbird then passes the talking stick, imagining it filled with fairies, feathers, rays, elementals, baked goods, harvest energy, and supportive frequencies before handing the program to Tara and Rama. Tara and Rama on Solar Energies, Disclosure, and Global Upheaval Tara and Rama describe the incoming energies as powerful, transformative, and connected to Lammas, the Schumann resonance, solar flares, and what they frame as planetary transfiguration. Rama reports conversations with Natasha and other figures, tying the week's energies to political allegations, the Zorro Ranch, Epstein-related stories, the White House, Israel, Hamas, Iran, the United States, and what he calls the collapse of old systems. He also presents metaphysical claims about the Anunnaki, Nephilim, the “13 families,” the matrix or holodeck program, the galactic federation, ascension, the Age of Aquarius, and the need to respond with love and Violet Fire. Rama's Weekly Update and Messages From the “Crew” Rama reads a weeklong update describing visits to Moon Mountain, Chama, St. John's College, Stonehenge-related energetic work, Aspen Meadows, and other locations, often accompanied by deer, crows, owls, bobcats, ravens, and cats. In these updates, he recounts text messages from Mr. X, Natasha, “the crew,” Professor Nicodemus, Dr. Steve, Darby Odell, Mr. Apps, and Lady Nada. The messages emphasize the “shift of the ages,” ancient extraterrestrial beings, Antarctica, the shutdown of the holodeck program, magnetic fields, portal technology, Stonehenge sound and light, disclosure, full moon energies, solar flares, peace, and the coming Lion's Gate. Caroline's Questions on Ancient Beings, Stargates, and NESARA Caroline then asks Rama to clarify who Mr. X means when referring to ancient extraterrestrials who are still present and immortal. Rama answers within the show's metaphysical framework, saying the reference is to the 13 families answering to the Anunnaki-Nephilim and to locations near vortexes, stargates, or portals. The conversation moves into claims about Tehran and Baghdad stargates, the military, Iran, Pentagon generals, Mother Sekhmet, galactic disclosure, and NESARA. Rama says NESARA is unfolding “big time,” but that peace must come first before the next stage can unfold. Mother's Channeled Message on Ascension, Healing, Climate, and Staying in the Body The program then shifts into a channeled Mother segment invoked through the Office of the Christ, Saint Germain, and the Violet Flame. Mother speaks about Lion's Gate, Sirius, the Council of Nine, star nations, ascension in the body, the idea that there is no death, cellular wisdom, solar plasma, Schumann resonance, magnetic waves, climate disruption, elementals, quantum particles, Stonehenge, ley lines, vortexes, planetary sound, astrology, and the restoration of memory. The segment also places Cheryl in a circle of support for surgery and speaks directly to trauma, suicide, water as a clearing force, the importance of remaining in the body, and the need to work with Mother Gaia through love, gratitude, and inner healing. Kryon on the Wind of Birth, Soul Support, and Choosing Courage The final major segment is a Kryon recording that reflects on the “Wind of Birth,” soul choice, God consciousness before incarnation, and the idea that each person came to Earth intentionally during a major shift. Kryon describes listeners as heroic souls who chose family, culture, gender, contracts, karma, awakening, and seed-planting for future humanity. The recording encourages listeners not to remain in suffering, fear, worry, or isolation, but to visualize comfort, move beyond their bubble, trust synchronicity, and remember that they are accompanied by a soul support group, guides, angelic presences, and their higher self. The episode closes with gratitude, Namaste, Aloha, and a reminder that listeners are “bigger” and more important than they may think.

On today's program, a Florida mom has been sentenced to prison after impersonating the father of a Camp Mystic flood victim. She used that fake identity to launch a GoFundMe campaign. We'll have details. Plus, Focus on the Family launches the search for its next president. Jim Daly's retirement is on the horizon after more than 20 years at the helm. We'll take a look. And, charitable giving last year topped $600 billion, outpacing inflation for the second year in a row. But…Religion saw the slowest growth.  But first, a New York City megachurch says goodbye to its founding pastor. Four months ago, Fount Church’s board said an outside investigation cleared its founding pastors of financial wrongdoing. Now, founding pastor Josh Kelsey has left the church. He’s permanently relocating to Australia. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get editorial, database, and other technical support from Christina Darnell, Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, Heidi Allums, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Jessica Eturralde, Kim Roberts, Michaela Estruth, Bob Smietana, Diana Chandler, Tony Mator, and Makella Knowles. A special thanks to Baptist Press for contributing material for this week's podcast. You've been listening to the MinistryWatch podcast. Until next time, may God bless you.

What if the terrifying supernatural encounter that haunted your childhood was never random? Join Tony Merkel as he sits down with Aron, who shares how years of being stalked by a mysterious, rake-like creature ultimately led him through fear, deception, witchcraft, and a desperate search for truth before he encountered the life-changing power of Jesus Christ. Rather than letting darkness define his story, Aron explains how those experiences became the foundation for a ministry focused on exposing spiritual warfare and confronting the occult through biblical faith. Together, Tony and Aron explore what these encounters reveal about the unseen battle taking place around us and why spiritual discernment is more important than ever. Whether you're fascinated by cryptid encounters, spiritual warfare, or powerful Christian testimonies, this episode will challenge the way you think about the supernatural.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

If you fear failure, you're not going to get very far. Neither will your team. Today, we're talking to Arnie Katz, CPTO at GoFundMe. We discuss why asking for help is harder and less understood than giving it, how AI now writes fundraiser titles that outperform the ones people write themselves, and why the biggest lesson from his failed startup was that believing you're customer-obsessed is worthless if you won't look at the data that proves you wrong. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast!  To learn more about Arnie Katz, connect with him here.

A 7-11 on Liberty Heights Avenue in Northwest Baltimore, Maryland, has become a flashpoint of community rage and resistance after Ade Oba Tokunbo (Stephen King), a 74-year-old resident, was attacked and brutally beaten there by six teenagers on July 7, 2026. The same location is also the site of multiple robberies and the murder of Victorious Swift in March of 2017. In response, “A Clarion Call,” a new coalition of local community organizations and residents, organized a rally at the 7-11 on Sunday, July 26, and led a community march into the store to demand the company implement policies that will keep customers safe and aid in the apprehension of the youth responsible for the July 7 attack. In this on-the-ground report, TRNN takes you inside the community rally held at the 7-11, near Mondawmin Mall, on July 26. Watch the video version of this report here. Additional links/info:Organizers of A Clarion Call have set up a GoFundMe for Ade Oba Tokunbo and are asking community members to contact ClarionCallBaltimore[at]gmail[dot]com if they have any information about the perpetrators of the July 7.Renee Anderson, Mike Hellgren, CBS Baltimore, “New video shows 74-year-old attacked outside Baltimore 7-Eleven by group wielding sword, assault rifle”Credits:Production: Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: Maximillian Alvarez, Cameron Granadino, David HebdenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

What if the voice you think is from God is actually leading you toward deception? Joseph Z joins Tony Merkel to reveal the supernatural encounter that launched his prophetic calling. From that life-changing experience, he explains how God began shaping his understanding of the prophetic, why counterfeit spiritual experiences are becoming more convincing, and how believers can develop the discernment needed to recognize truth in an increasingly deceptive world. Rather than living in fear, Joseph offers a biblical perspective on hearing God's voice, walking in your God-given calling, and remaining firmly rooted in Christ as spiritual battles intensify. Whether you're curious about the prophetic, searching for biblical answers, or simply want to grow closer to God, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about hearing His voice.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

Investigative journalists ⁠⁠Mandy Matney⁠⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ and producer of journalism David Moses are recording near Washington, D.C. for a special episode on an explosive FOIA returned from Spartanburg PD. First, David opens with gratitude for the listeners who requested a GoFundMe and refused to let Mandy stand alone. Then we're examining the very relevant Spartanburg Police Report that Deborah Barbier filed claiming that a man stood up in the AC Hotel's lobby area, photographed her, “kept screaming her name” — and that “Mandy Matney” was somehow involved.  The report on the June 22, 2026 incident was released after Mandy's contempt order was issued and it is stunning: a search warrant, a thumb drive, an IT department, roughly four hours of hotel video — and a police lieutenant who wrote that he was “unable to locate the confrontation Mrs. Barbier advised”.   Mandy, Liz and David unpack what's in the report and what's very obviously not.   Join LUNASHARK Premium on Patreon Support Our Legal Defense GoFundMe: Help Journalist Mandy Matney Fight $176,500 Contempt Order Or support our reporting: ⁠https://lunashark.supercast.com/donations/new⁠ ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Lawyers & Judges: Send legal suggestions or offers for Pro Hac / Pro Bono representation to legal@lunasharkmedia.com Episode References Mandy joins Laura Richards on Crime Analyst Ep #357

Investigative journalist Mandy Matney is best known for doggedly pursuing and unraveling Alex Murdaugh's financial crimes against his 100-year-old family law firm and its clients in the low country of South Carolina. Mandy's coverage of and in-depth investigation into Murdaugh's legal dynasty family began in 2019, when a boat crash involving 19-year-old Paul Murdaugh resulted in the death of 19 -year-old Mallory Beach. Mandy's relentless reporting continued through 2021 with the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh and extensive trial of former attorney Alex Murdaugh, who was eventually found guilty of their murders. However, in 2026 he was granted a new trial.    Mandy told the story via the hugely successful "Murdaugh Murders Podcast" which led to the Hulu miniseries "Murdaugh: Death in the Family", on which Mandy served as executive producer.     On 7/13/26, Judge R. Keith Kelly, Hampton County, SC, issued a contempt order against Mandy and ordered her to pay $176,500 in attorneys' fees and a fine for "wilfully" failing to appear for a deposition on March 27 2026 in the case of Beach v Parker, et al, in which she is a non-party. Of note is that the deposition did go ahead 11 days later.    In this episode, Laura and Mandy carefully examine the timeline of events, the courtroom proceedings and the wider implications-not only for Mandy, but for investigative reporting more broadly. Laura also shares her analysis of patterns of  behaviour of those who stalk and harass and how common it is for courts not to understand motivation, threats and the ‘dripping tap' power and control related intimidation tactics used by men against women.    #MandyMatney #Murdaugh #PressFreedom #InvestigativeJournalism #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Stalking #Fixation #Obsession #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast #Crime      More from Mandy Matney and LunaShark  Support Mandy directly: Go Fund Me  LunaShark  LunaShark Premium  Links:  Youtube https://youtube.com/channel/UC6t_kdvrDw2p1F79IBnnNWQ  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/truesunlightpod  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/109188244940222  Tiktok https://tiktok.com/@lunasharkmedia    Clip   https://www.youtube.com/live/0wmHESgSHSA?si=ASJBdEm_VAvkqGKI     Sources  https://www.fitsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Matney-Contempt-Order-13July2026.pdf   S.C.

This week, we're sharing two segments. Appalachians Against Uranium First up is a conversation with two activists of Appalachians Against Uranium in eastern Tennessee about the expansion of a nuclear weapons development in Jonesborough in the Tri-Cities near the border with North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia in the Blue Ridge Mountains. For the interview we speak about the legacy of the nuclear industry in the region, health impacts on locals, some of the companies (like BWXT) involved, concerns of pollution and building off the work of past and ongoing civic activism in the region. Find our guests online at their website or find them on bluesky for further information. If you missed our prior interview talking about other and related elements of the nuclear industries in the US, check out the chat with M.V. Ramana from our July 19th episode, found at our website.

Elbit Systems is an Israeli arms manufacturer whose products bring death to people in Palestine. The defendants have experienced long term isolation, extraordinarily long pre-trial detention without the option of bail. This segment appears in episode 104 of B(A)D News from the A-Radio Network, and was submitted and recorded by Radio Ausbruch from Freiberg As a note for US listeners, the use of the term protocol in this segment can be translated to mean taken notes. You can keep up on the case, find how to write letters or send support, at https://ulm5.info/ and find updated writings on the case by Roser Garí Pérez on their instagram or their author page at The Left Berlin Announcement Support Request by 2020 Uprising Prisoner Khalif Miller We received correspondence from Khalif Miller who was arrested in Philadelphia. Acording to his GoFundMe, "Khalif was held on pre-trial detention for 2 years and eventually sentenced to 5 years in Federal prison. As he was on probation at the time of his indictment he was additionally given a 1-10 year state sentence for probation violation." According to his page on UprisingSupport.org, Khalif had this to say: "I was working, I was trying to get my business up and running, I was going to school. I was doing things not just to help my family, I was trying to help communities. The day that I went to the protest… the night before when I was even making my signs. I spent 4 hours just making signs and writing down a bunch of people who were unfairly killed by police officers. This is something I really feel passionate about. People say all the time, you can do anything you want in America. You can be whatever you want to be. Growing up, I heard it but I never really believed it because I felt like my resources were limited. The world has so many possibilities. I would like to teach that. That's one of the things I would like to be able to pass along to the younger generations when I come home."

Most of the staff was let go immediately after COVID, but all of us remember the excellent work of Tom. I'm sad to report that Tom passed away June 16, after a heart attack – he leaves behind his wife and two children. They have a Go Fund Me page to help them with funeral bills and other financial demands – if you ever cared for the great work of Tom Earlywine, I invite you to give – whatever you have.

Nature's ResiliencyNature's resiliency is an inspiration to all who have eyes to see, ears tohear, and soul to know truth of the miracles that unfold around us everyday.In the wake of the tornado that devastated our home, repairs to structuresdrag on while nature bounces back in magnificent glory. Perhaps nature isbeautifully resilient because our home is on Cherokee Sacred Land. Orperhaps it is due to all the good vibes Kelly and I emit nurturing wildlife,while all the love, encouragement and support being sent from all of youenhance miracles that continue to unfold.Nature's resiliency could have been another chapter in Align with theDivine. Change is difficult for many people, especially trauma survivors.When change is negatively imposed, it is harder to see beyond the momentinto possibilities that open as a result of one door closing.Kelly and I are no strangers to negatively imposed change, and havealways shared a higher view to a clear path forward. The day the tornadoslammed our home, uprooting ancient oaks, redbuds, hardwoods--over 38beautiful trees surrounding our house--we took a slow walk together withQi.As we shared an overwhelming sense of miracle that no one was hurt andthe house was still standing despite extreme devastation, we began tonotice miracles of nature all around us.Half way down our driveway, geese were walking their new goslings to thepond for a swim. How did those tiny little fluffs not blow away? And yet,here they were, peacefully making their way to the pond where they weregreeted by our resident heron and white peace dove.The large white peace dove showed up one time before while drums beatfrom a nearby Cherokee Pow Wow. Now, in the immediate aftermath of thetornado, our peace dove was back again.Willows surrounding the pond gently swayed in the residual breeze, and weknew we would be alright. On the way back up the drive, we noticed ourhummingbird feeder standing amidst the falling trees. You can see it- it'sthe little red dot in our GoFundMe photo of trees piled on the house. As wegot closer, we saw hummingbirds feeding.How can that be? How can anything as delicate as baby geese andhummingbirds be going about their lives after such extreme devastation?We were inspired.Grass is re-growing thicker than ever. A volunteer pumpkin patch isgrowing where our red oak once stood. Birds and animals play in downedtrees, apparently scattering seeds of new growth around the land.Now, a month and a half later, we continue to experience nature's miracleswhile insurance stays tangled in their red tape. Our hearts overflow withgratitude to all who continue to support us, empowering us to repair theroof over our heads, rejuvenate earth beneath our feet, and manifest divineresiliency.Today Kelly excitedly called me to our front porch where the GoFundMephoto is centered, to show me volunteer flowers have bloomed where oneof our ancient oaks had stood. In the midst of the flowers is a sunflowernearly as tall as I am. While we gazed in gratitude and wonder, Kellypointed out a rare luna moth on one of the flowers.Taking photos of this miracle of growth, nature's creative resiliency, andrare luna moth, it started sprinkling rain. Kelly, gentle nature spirit that sheis, took a large heart shaped leaf and placed it over the luna moth like anumbrella.With that, I came inside to share this miracle with you.While an ever changing kaleidoscope of change occurs in our world andattention is again distracted from MK Ultra hearings and bits of truthemerging, nature keeps us aligned with the divine reflection of our ownresiliency and the nature of miracles.

After the incredible response to the first watch-along, Tony returns to revisit Episode 510, "Dogman Interdimensional Portals," the conversation that sparked one of the biggest paradigm shifts in the history of The Confessionals. Looking back with years of hindsight, he reflects on how this interview helped change the way he viewed the paranormal, dreams, and the spiritual realities behind them. Originally featuring Hunter, the episode follows his terrifying account of encountering a dogman in a dream, waking with unexplained physical injuries, and later facing what appeared to be the same creature in the woods with his son. As Tony reacts to the episode, he shares new insights, behind-the-scenes thoughts, and how his perspective has evolved since it first aired. What once seemed like an extraordinary story now carries an even deeper significance through everything he has learned since. Join Tony for another watch-along as he revisits one of the most influential episodes in his journey.

We start off with Chad Zumock issuing a challenge to Pat Dixon and he includes “anywhere, anytime.” Pat immediately accepts the challenge, calling Chad's bluff, and makes the Zman look extremely foolish. Fortunately for Chad, some super famous and successful comics donated to his GoFundMe. Which I totally believe. I received the sad news that John C Dvorak passed away this week. We play a couple of clips from his show, No Agenda, about what a prick Richard Marx is/was. Christian Bladt makes our “Cringe of the Week.” Artie Fletcher does some of the most hack jokes about TV commercials and manscaping you'll ever hear. We check out Bryan Callen getting embarrassed on Jesse Lee Peterson's show. Jerry Banfield has been destroyed by the woman he met 9 days ago. Who could have seen that coming?  Fortunately, he also found Jesus, which is convenient because this chick is super into Jesus. Kevin Brennan needs everything outside of Misery Loves Company to be a failure. Any success in entertainment is somehow a slight at Kevin. What are we talking about? Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, Adam Busch's acting career, and Sam Morril's stand up career. I'm not kidding, for real!! Kevin Brennan is mentally ill. Opie is getting ghosted by celebrities and it's really shaking his confidence. Ron claims he'll continue to be Opie's friend even after Ron becomes famous. Opie doesn't care. Megan and Annie join us for rounds of “Is It Gay?” and “Opie or Burr.” Megan has some recent Spotify comments, Annie reads some new reviews, and we finish with your voicemails.

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Paul Bruyneel, better known to many as Santa Paul, as he shares about his recovery following his third shoulder replacement surgery. After decades of physically demanding work, degenerative arthritis took a devastating toll on Paul's shoulder. Finding a surgeon willing to perform such a complex revision surgery wasn't easy, and by the time the procedure could be done, additional damage had occurred, making the operation even more challenging. Now facing more than two months away from work, Paul is focused on healing while relying on the unwavering support of his wife, Sandy. He says she's been his rock through every surgery, helping with even the simplest daily tasks during recovery. For someone who has spent years bringing joy to children and giving back to others as Santa Paul, this season has required him to accept the kindness of the community he's worked so hard to serve. If you'd like to support Paul and his family during his recovery, you can give through GoFundMe by searching “Taking the Weight Off His Shoulders.” This MADM is brought to you by Premier Structures, Inc., proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong.

What if the Bible has been explaining the UFO phenomenon all along? Tony Merkel welcomes L.A. Marzulli to discuss why he believes the Nephilim are central to understanding the growing fascination with UFOs and the supernatural. Drawing from decades of firsthand research, L.A. shares remarkable stories that have shaped his conclusions about hidden archaeological discoveries and their possible biblical significance. He also explains how Genesis 3:15 and the Book of Enoch influence his understanding of an ongoing spiritual battle that continues to unfold today. As governments increasingly acknowledge the UFO phenomenon, L.A. argues that Christians must be prepared to discern truth from deception. L.A.'s insights invite you to reconsider ancient mysteries through a biblical lens and examine why they may matter now more than ever.If you're able, consider helping the Merkel family with medical expenses by donating to Lindsay's GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b8f76890

#1001 What happens when a 25-year hospitality veteran gets furloughed during COVID and finally goes all-in on the dream he's been talking about for years? You get Catalyst Hot Dogs — a Jersey-style hot dog joint taking the DMV by storm! In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with founder Chris Van Jura, who shares how he launched during the pandemic with a GoFundMe, a beat-up cart discovered in a church parking lot, and an all-beef hot dog so good, it became the heart of his brand. Chris breaks down how he scaled from one cart outside a Home Depot to multiple trailers, a staff, university partnerships, and a soon-to-open brick-and-mortar location. From sourcing premium franks to mastering social media marketing (and settling whether a hot dog is a sandwich), this is the real, gritty journey of turning a simple idea into a thriving business — one dog at a time! (Original Air Date - 11/17/25) What we discuss with Chris: + Launching Catalyst during COVID + Finding the first hot dog cart + Using GoFundMe to raise capital + Choosing high-quality, all-beef dogs + Scaling from one cart to multiple trailers + University of Maryland partnership + Social media as the main marketing engine + The “hot dog is a sandwich” debate + Plans for a brick-and-mortar location + Advice for aspiring food cart entrepreneurs Thank you, Chris!

In Episode 422: Fighting Your Demons, we are joined by Chip and Josh. Chip contacted the show to share his experiences with the paranormal that he has been dealing with his whole life. After listening to The Confessionals Chip started gaining new tactics on how to handle the demonic attachments in his life. Chip also invited his friend Josh onto the show to share what he has seen as well. Josh is a police officer that has had his own run-ins with demonic influences while on duty.

Today we're breaking down the newest UFO document release and asking the questions almost nobody else is asking. We'll examine what these files actually say about non-human intelligence (NHI), why the government continues releasing information without providing any real context, and whether the public is being guided toward a predetermined conclusion rather than the truth. We'll also dive into the documents' references to German flying saucer projects, Project Paperclip, reverse-engineering claims, and the possibility that the UFO mystery has always been far more connected to hidden technology and interdimensional questions than extraterrestrials from outer space.Please consider donating to Ron Patton's GoFundMe.

This week we're checking in on Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett, two SNL alums who are maybe the most forgettable cast members ever. Kyle Mooney is especially terrible and he proves it on this podcast that relies on schtick and nonsense.  Trucker Andy joins us to discuss where on the doll Kyle touched him. Jerry Banfield has once again fallen in love. Oh no. I have a feeling this won't end well. Jerry is once again falling in love immediately. If this woman watches this stream she is going to file a restraining order. Anthony Cumia went on Quadfather's show, BYB Podcast. Even though Ava was on, Ant did a great job of explaining why Chad Zumock will definitely steal the money he was given for his GoFundMe. Opie had another F U Friday with Ron and Tony. Opie is getting more confident with these zilches. He's trying out material. Somehow, he's still the least funny guy.

Are Flock cameras really about public safety, or are they laying the foundation for a surveillance state powered by AI? In this episode of Slingshot Nation Live, we investigate how Flock cameras, facial recognition, AI, drones, and emerging technologies like 6G could reshape privacy, policing, and personal freedom. We examine the promises behind these systems, the concerns surrounding mass data collection, and how rapidly advancing AI may change the relationship between citizens, corporations, and government.

In Episode 542: Weaponization Of UAPs | From Rendlesham Forest to Artificial Intelligence we are joined by John Burroughs to talk about what he saw during his legendary 3-day encounter with UAPs in Rendlesham Forest in 1980. The Rendlesham Forest incident is possibly just as important or more so than Roswell. John came on to talk about what his experience was and also what he thinks the purpose of it was. We talk about how Project Blue Beam could play into the future of UAP sightings and collective consciousness. What does the government know and how do they plan on using that knowledge to their benefit against the people? What are they doing behind closed doors with pseudoscientific methods to create wormholes to affect time and space? We talk about it all on today's show.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.
