The Democrats are involved in their own cover-up. They're covering up for a Nazi. How could they! All they've done for ten years is scream about Nazis! Trump was Hitler, I was told and told and told and told, leading a Brown Shirt army, awakening the White Nationalists, and radicalizing them to rise up and kill Black and Brown people. I was told the Democrats were the side fighting Nazis! It's okay to punch one, and they're all Nazis! The Democrats told us! But there is a Nazi in their midst. A genuine bona fide Nazi by their own rules, a Nazi. We don't give Graham Platner the benefit of the doubt. That's not how this works. It's one strike and you're out.We convict him in the court of public opinion because these are your rules, Democrats. This is the bed you made, and I'm afraid you will have to lie in it. Why are they having a hard time with calling Platner a Nazi and pushing him out like they all pushed out Al Franken after he was called a rapist? For the same reason they aren't pushing out Jay Jones for his vicious fantasies about killing the children of Republicans. They don't think they have to, and they are right. They have the legacy media on their side, and to them, only those on the Right can ever be called a Nazi and have it stick. Political violence only matters if someone on the Right does it. Joe Biden told us that. The people we have to fear most are the radical MAGA extremists. Platner will slither on through because that's how the game is played.Mark Halperin, Sean Spicer, and Dan Turrentine on 2way.The problem is, they like him. They want him to stay in their party because they need macho, macho, macho men. He's a macho Nazi! He sounds like a real man, not like a Democrat.They'll have to convince the ladies of The View, however, because they are not on board. Somehow, they realize that if they give Platner a pass, it essentially renders all of their accusations against the Right for ten years null and void.These are their rules. They set the no tolerance for Nazis policy. And anyone they deem a Nazi is, in fact, a Nazi. So by their own rules, we must conclude Graham Platner is a Nazi. There is no presumption of innocence allowed. There is no benefit of the doubt. There is certainly no tolerance, redemption, or forgiveness allowed. It's once accused, forever guilty. That is their most powerful weapon against the Right.Everyone is a Nazi who voted for Trump. Elon is a Nazi for waving to the crowd. The media, far and wide, reported that story as an actual fact, and the utopians inside the Doomsday Cult not only believed it but still do. Just ask them. Trump is a Nazi because Trump is Hitler. Ivanka is a Nazi because she is Hitler's daughter. Melania is a Nazi because she wore an outfit one time that the Left decided looked like a Nazi outfit. The utopians inside the Doomsday Cult not only believed it about Melania in 2020, but still do. Then again, is there anything they wouldn't believe? Right now, they are rolling around in agony yet again because Trump is demolishing the East Wing to build a ballroom. It sounds like a great idea, and Trump is a builder —so why not?If Obama were building the ballroom, they would hail it as a profound moment in history where America's “white supremacist” past was finally confronted. They would be more honest about how they really feel about the Founding Fathers, who built this country on the backs of slaves, and the White House is representative of our colonizing, 1692 white male patriarchal past. Obama would be hailed as a hero and celebrated on the pages of the New York Times for tearing down that past and building anew.But since it's Trump, it is a desecration. Because he's a Nazi, racist, fascist, dictator, criminal, felon, rapist, and most recently, pedophile. Everyone has to be a Nazi because, as the ruling class, they are the oppressed side. Their otherwise pristine lives were disrupted when the other half of the country, the less powerful half, decided they wanted to participate in our democracy, but also couldn't stand living under the suffocating totalitarian GOODNESS of the lawn sign people. You've heard of the Good Germans, now meet the Good Liberals.Here is a list of what you can't say, eat, drive, or wear. Everything you ever did in your past is subject to our judgment. We will decide your character and convict you of whatever we damn well please. We will call you racists, and everyone will go along with it. And your life will be destroyed over it. What did you once wear on Halloween that could now come back to haunt you?Once marked by them, your whole life was ruined, now that American society had been sucked into the utopian cult of the Left. You were marked, and that meant you were to be banished, shunned, disappeared as the BAD THING, a NAZI. Which kind of sounds like actual Nazis, doesn't it? The word Nazi is, to them, a casual adjective. The sky is blue, that flower is pink, that person in a red hat is a Nazi. They don't think twice about it and have emboldened themselves to say it all the time. They have also screamed it, chanted it, and even used it to justify violence.Charlie Kirk's assassin believed he was fighting fascism, which is another word for Nazi, because none of these people really know their history. These words are stand-ins for their own helpless hatred and rage against people who don't agree with them on their totalitarian worldview. When the Epstein story failed to take down Trump, the Democrats decided pedophile was now their favorite word. And all Republicans were guilty of it. They scream it, wild-eyed with spittle spraying out of their mouths. They say it on TikTok to any Trump supporter because, you know, Nazi was played out. Can you imagine Nazi being played out? Now it's PEDOPHILE!! This is on billboards, on the No Kings signs. They say it casually and frequently, as they use the only weapons they have in our virtual Civil War, WORDS. Words to them are harm and they are violence, so they fire them at will. Freaky virtue signaling podcast host Jennifer Welch, who has almost single-handedly alienated all heterosexual men from the Left, loves to point her bony finger at her fellow Americans. Accuse lest ye be accused. Here she is calling Stephen Miller and other Trump supporters Nazis. What this whole ugly affair has exposed is that they never meant any of it. It was all politics. They just didn't want to share this country or hand it over to people they deemed beneath them. It was all lies for ten years. They destroyed people based on those lies, and they never thought twice about it. People have actually died and been viciously assaulted. Most of us were victims of a long con. They never believed it. They just wanted to win.Which is why it's funny to hear Democrats like Jaime Harrison pretend they aren't the side that has been throwing their fellow Americans away like human garbage for a decade, all because they couldn't beat Trump.So yes, the Democrats have a Nazi problem, and it's high time that the Republicans gave them a taste of their own medicine by saying so at every opportunity. Who knows, maybe it will make the Good People of the Left think twice the next time they point their finger and scream NAZI! // This is a public episode.

Send us a textSince we are diehard Cubs & Bears fans it feels like we're dancing near the Cliff of Betrayal to admit we really like the people we know from Wisconsin. Cheese curds sit well in our otherwise messed up digestive systems. For sure they don't provoke us to recoil like hummus does. But the hummus-hosts live in Chicago, and the comfort-foodies come from the Packers & Brewers' home state. The world confuses us. So we did what we do best: whine, giggle, and talk about Jesus.

Welcome to the second part of my wide-ranging conversation with Gabriel Reilich, Head of Content and Innovation at Upworthy and co-author of the New York Times bestselling book, Good People: Stories From the Best of Humanity. This episode explores how the narratives we consume shape our worldview—and how intentional storytelling can restore faith in both ourselves and others.We dive into media theory and the phenomenon of Mean World Syndrome, revealing why nonstop exposure to negative news can leave us feeling isolated, fearful, and disconnected. Gabe shares lessons from his years curating thousands of real-life stories, illuminating just how small acts and honest moments can spark a ripple of hope across entire communities.From personal anecdotes to strategies for embedding positivity in leadership, you'll hear how fostering connection, empathy, and authenticity can transform workplaces, organizations, and individual lives. Whether you're a leader, creator, or simply longing for reassurance that kindness still matters, this episode delivers actionable insights and moving real-world examples you can apply today.If you missed the first part, be sure to tune in for even more practical wisdom and inspiring stories. This conversation continues our journey into what it really takes to be—and to see—the "good people" among us.

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. (Isa 57:1-2 KJV)And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. (1Jn 5:19 KJV)Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. (Mat 7:24-25 KJV) 

Most people don't set out to be “bad bosses.” But good intentions aren't enough when your habits unintentionally create frustration, fear, or disengagement.Thankfully, today's guest helps us see what's really happening beneath the surface. Mita Mallick is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best-Selling author. She's on a mission to fix what's broken in our workplaces. She's a corporate change-maker with a track record of transforming businesses and has had an extensive career as a marketing and human resources executive.In this episode, we explore what makes a bad boss (and how to avoid becoming one). Mita reveals common behaviors that erode trust, how to give feedback that empowers instead of intimidates, and why inclusive leadership is the foundation of a healthy culture. You'll learn small, everyday actions that rebuild connection, create safety, and turn self-awareness into your most powerful leadership tool.In the extended members-only conversation, Mita opens up about the “Nap Boss,” “Tony Soprano,” and “Sheriff” archetypes—real examples of toxic leadership behaviors that managers can learn from. She also shares practical ways to respond to bullying or bias at work, including how to use the “Five Ds” framework to intervene and support colleagues safely and effectively.Get FREE mini-episode guides with the big idea from the week's episode delivered to your inbox when you subscribe to my weekly email.Join the conversation now!Conversation Topics (00:00) Introduction: What makes a “bad boss”?(00:51) Meet Mita Mallick and her leadership journey(02:40) The myths we believe about being a good boss(05:12) Why well-intentioned leaders can still be toxic(08:43) Understanding inclusion as a leadership skill(12:25) How to recognize your own blind spots(17:18) Building trust and psychological safety(21:36) Giving feedback with care and clarity(25:49) The small habits that make a big difference(29:10) Keep up with Mita(31:46) [Extended Episode Only] The Nap, Tony, and Sheriff bosses' workplace impact(36:18) [Extended Episode Only] How to intervene: The Five Ds model

“The North Star is the truth. Tell it. And if you can't, explain why.” — Col. David Lapan (Ret.) We had the distinct honor of sitting down with Colonel David Lapan, retired Marine and former spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, Secretaries of Defense, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In a wide-ranging, timely conversation, Colonel Lapan unpacks the critical balance between national security and democratic accountability, the dangers of politicizing the military, and how press freedom strengthens—not weakens—our institutions. We delve into his 30+ years of military service, his pivotal role in launching the media embed program during the Iraq War, and why he left DHS during the Trump administration. Lapan also shares pointed thoughts on recent efforts to restrict Pentagon press access and the implications of political theater in national defense.

Hello and welcome to Episode 294 of the People Powered Business Podcast!In today's episode, we're exploring why good people leave organisations, and what it really costs you when you lose someone from your business.Most business owners assume staff leave for better pay or new opportunities, but more often it comes down to three things: lack of clarity, lack of direction, and inconsistent leadership. When your team isn't clear on what's expected of them, can't see where they're heading, or don't feel supported by steady, consistent leadership, even the best employees start to disengage.We'll also unpack the hidden costs of turnover that most business owners underestimate. It's not just the cost of recruitment or training. It's the time you lose filling gaps, the emotional energy it takes to start over, the trust that's eroded, and the morale that dips each time someone walks out the door. The ripple effect of turnover can quietly damage your business far more than you realise.You'll also hear how business owners can unknowingly create the very conditions that push good people away — even when they genuinely care about their team. The good news is that all of this is fixable. Once you understand what's really driving turnover, you can take simple, practical steps to keep your best people engaged, loyal, and performing. Because keeping great people isn't luck — it's structure, leadership, and clarity.An Invitation:If you'd like to connect with other businesses who are also juggling the challenges of teams, I'd love you to join us inside our free Facebook Group, The People Powered Community, so I can learn more about what's working for you and any challenges you might be having.Join Here.https://www.facebook.com/groups/hrsupportaustraliaMentioned in this episode:Keep Your Best People WebinarIf you feel like you're always hiring, training and starting over again, here's the truth: You don't have a hiring problem. You have a keeping problem. Most small businesses don't lose people because they can't find good staff — they lose them because the business isn't set up to keep them. I'm running a free live training called Keep Your Best People — The Proven Framework for Loyalty, Accountability, and Results. I'll show you exactly how to stop the turnover cycle, build consistency in your team, and finally feel confident leading again. It's happening Wednesday 29 October at 1pm AEDT.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Bree Groff, transformation consultant, speaker, and author of Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously). Bree challenges the idea that work must be draining to be valuable, offering a refreshing and practical vision for how leaders can help teams thrive, and even enjoy, their workdays. They explore how her upbringing shaped her perspective on work, why so many teams normalize burnout and busyness, and how leaders can model a healthier, more joyful approach. Bree introduces rituals, such as user manuals and daily check-ins, that foster trust and psychological safety, and she explains what it means to build “cozy teams” that perform through connection. You'll also hear her take on performative professionalism and how to lead without losing your humanity. If you're looking for ways to lead with more energy, authenticity, and yes, fun, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Most work, most days, should be fun.” “Being busy is not the same as being brilliant.” “Cozy teams are teams that trust each other enough to tell the truth.” “We've confused being professional with looking professional.” “You can either be consumed by your calendar or create space to consume ideas.” “Even shoveling tough work can be joyful if you like your co-shovelers.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:00 Start of Interview 02:03 Bree's Background and Family Influence 05:47 The Normalization of Burnout 10:54 Optimizing for Good Laughs with Good People 17:50 Performative Professionalism vs. Authenticity 26:26 Creating Fun and Cozy Work Environments 33:08 Building a Trusting and High-Performing Team 34:42 Practical Tools for Team Cohesion 35:15 The User Manual: A Quickstart Guide to Teamwork 37:01 Daily Check-ins: Enhancing Team Communication 38:28 The Fast Food Rule: Effective One-on-One Communication 40:38 Prioritizing Personal Well-being for Better Work 46:24 Milton Glaser: Finding Pleasure in Work 49:45 Applying Team Principles in Family Life 51:39 End of Interview 52:12 Andy Comments After the Interview 56:52 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Bree and her work at BreeGroff.com.

   Let's shift from all the bad in the world to a couple really great stories about two individuals that are the best among us.    Then, a Wichita developer has made a huge purchase that could be related to the Royals, we'll tell you where.   A gay website called "Queerty" has decided to attack Harrison Butker in the weakest of ways.  The Chiefs are clearly over scrutinized as a global website is quoting a lip reader about what Andy shouted at Travis Kelce Sunday night.  You have to hear this.    The NFL is busting out record ratings after blasting Nielson Company for being inaccurate.  Tom Brady says something really, really stupid.    Mizzou has the leading Heisman candidate 1/3 of the way into the season. This is the best regular season sports weekend of the year and a very mean squirrel is attacking people out on walks.

Why is finding great talent harder than ever… even with AI at our fingertips?

He also introduces a game-changing idea: professional certified references, a way to bring trust, truth, and confidence back into hiring decisions. Get ready for a candid conversation that will make you rethink how you evaluate candidates, balance AI with human judgment, and build teams that truly multiply culture.

The tragic death of Charlie Kirk marks more than the loss of a cultural leader — it highlights the civilizational moment we find ourselves in. In this video, Christian Barrett examines what his assassination means for Western values, the culture war, and the urgent need for Christians to stand for truth in the global public square. From questions of suffering to the influence of thinkers like Os Guinness and how we should see the difference between 1776 and 1789, he explores how believers can respond with conviction and hope as salt and light in this civilizational moment. This video also considers the secular agenda shaping our culture, the call to revival and renewal, and what Charlie Kirk's legacy means for the future of Western values.

No matter how talented or diligent you are, your ultimate success depends on the people around you. In his new book The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups, organizational scientist Colin M. Fisher says it's time to ditch the myth of the lone genius and focus on what really moves the needle: groups that work. Our curator Daniel Pink says the book is “essential reading for creators, builders, and leaders.”

It's Witness Wednesday! On today's episode of Wretched Radio, Todd Friel is back on campus for a special 'Witness Wednesday.' As Todd engages students, he highlights the importance of understanding and embracing the gospel, repentance, and the grace of God. Segment 1: • Ein admits to believing in God but doesn't fully understand why Jesus died. • Thinks he's “a good person,” but Todd walks him through God's standard and sin's seriousness. • Hears the gospel clearly: Jesus took his punishment, offering forgiveness and eternal life. Segment 2: • Drew dresses whimsically but reveals deep spiritual confusion, calling himself “saved” for “fire insurance.” • Admits living for himself, distant from God, and fearing death and judgment. • Todd explains the true gospel — salvation isn't about effort or labels but trusting Jesus fully. Segment 3: • Todd's conversation with Drew continues: Drew confesses struggles with lying, stealing, and lust but thought Christianity was about “being good.” • Todd shares a powerful analogy about bad restaurants to explain why Jesus rescues sinners, not the “good.” • Learns salvation is a gift of grace, not earned by works, and forgiveness is complete. Segment 4: • Anna wants to grow in evangelism but struggles with clearly presenting the gospel. • Todd teaches her to focus on forgiveness of sins in Christ, using God's law to reveal our need for a Savior. • Anna learns the difference between guilt-driven religion and grace-fueled obedience — a life transformed by Jesus. ___ Thanks for listening!

In this conversation, you'll discover:• How to spot Wetiko when it's running you and why seeing it clearly breaks the pattern• The quantum nature of this mind virus and how your healing shifts the collective field• Why your deepest struggles are actually revelations and how to extract their medicineHave you ever wondered why the same destructive patterns keep showing up in your family, generation after generation, like some kind of toxic inheritance you never asked for?Growing up, I knew addiction ran in my family. I knew I came from trauma. It was there in the stories, in the family history, but my dad had been sober most of my life. At least the life I could remember. And maybe that's exactly why I felt immune to it. I was aware. I was conscious. I was going to be different. I'd learned from the past without having to live it.Until I wasn't different at all.Until I found myself eight years deep in my own eating disorder, trapped in cycles that felt completely beyond my control. Wondering how the hell I'd ended up becoming the very thing I thought I'd escaped. This wasn't just personal failure. This was something way bigger than me.What I was experiencing has a name. Indigenous wisdom keepers have known this for centuries. They called it Wetiko. A cannibalistic mind virus that feeds on human consciousness, spreading from person to person, generation to generation.And right now? This thing is everywhere.Look around. Families torn apart by politics. Communities fracturing. We're destroying our planet while building technologies that could save us or kill us. Depression and anxiety rates climbing every year. We keep treating these like separate problems. They're not. They're all symptoms of the same infection.Today our guest is Paul Levy. A pioneer in the field of spiritual emergence, Paul is a wounded healer in private practice, assisting others who are also awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality. He has authored six books, three of which are on the Wetiko mind virus, and is the founder of the "Awaken in the Dream Community" in Portland, Oregon.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/416Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

History has a way of looking calmer than it really was. In this PT. 2 episode, Ryan sits down with historian and author James Romm to talk about the messy, dangerous, and often absurd reality of life in ancient Greece and Rome, especially for the philosophers who tried to “advise” the powerful. From Plato's naïve trips to Syracuse, to Seneca's complicated dance with Nero, to Marcus Aurelius resisting the pull of corruption, they discuss the timeless tension between access and integrity. James Romm is an author, reviewer, and a Professor of Classics at Bard College in Annandale, NY. He specializes in ancient Greek and Roman culture and civilization. His reviews and essays have appeared in the New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, the London Review of Books, the Daily Beast, and other venues. He has held the Guggenheim Fellowship (1999-2000), the Birkelund Fellowship at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Writers and Scholars at the New York Public Library (2010-11), and a Biography Fellowship at the Leon Levy Center of the City University of New York (2014-15).Follow James on Instagram @James.Romm and check out more of his work at his website, www.jamesromm.com
