Happy Spooky Wednesday, Folks! It is the second week of Urban Legends October, and Brittany is taking us all the way to Guatemala with the legend of El Sombrerón. This short boogeyman works his magic with a really big hat and a really shiny guitar to hypnotize young women. If you fall under his spell, would you have the strength to resist his siren song, or would you need your very own Pedro Pascal to rescue you?
Bryan Stecker shares his journey from business to ministry, why the Lutheran voice matters online, and how the sacraments and entrepreneurial spirit can shape the future of the church. Plus, how do we stay both confessional and missional as a church body.

Quand on évoque les grandes civilisations précolombiennes, deux noms surgissent immédiatement : les Mayas et les Incas. Pourtant, si elles ont toutes deux marqué l'histoire de l'Amérique, elles sont très différentes dans leur localisation, leur organisation et leurs héritages.Les Mayas apparaissent bien avant les Incas. Leur civilisation se développe dès 2000 avant notre ère, dans les forêts tropicales du Yucatán, au sud du Mexique, ainsi qu'au Guatemala, au Belize et au Honduras actuels. Les Incas, eux, émergent beaucoup plus tard, au XIIIᵉ siècle, dans la cordillère des Andes, principalement au Pérou. Cette différence chronologique explique déjà un contraste : quand l'empire inca atteint son apogée au XVe siècle, les grandes cités mayas étaient déjà abandonnées depuis longtemps.Sur le plan politique, le contraste est frappant. Les Mayas n'avaient pas un empire unifié mais une mosaïque de cités-États indépendantes, comme Tikal, Palenque ou Copán, qui rivalisaient entre elles par des guerres et des alliances. Les Incas, au contraire, fondèrent un empire centralisé : le Tawantinsuyu. Depuis Cuzco, l'empereur, appelé le Sapa Inca, exerçait un pouvoir absolu sur des millions de sujets et un territoire immense s'étendant de la Colombie jusqu'au Chili.Sur le plan culturel, les Mayas brillèrent surtout par leur écriture et leurs connaissances scientifiques. Ils développèrent un système d'écriture hiéroglyphique complexe, unique en Amérique, qui permettait de noter aussi bien des événements politiques que des récits mythologiques. Ils élaborèrent également un calendrier extrêmement précis, basé sur l'astronomie, et laissèrent des monuments impressionnants comme les pyramides de Chichén Itzá. Les Incas, eux, ne connaissaient pas l'écriture. Pour conserver la mémoire des tributs ou des recensements, ils utilisaient les quipus, des cordelettes nouées dont les combinaisons servaient de code numérique. Leur génie s'exprima surtout dans l'ingénierie : routes pavées traversant les Andes, ponts suspendus, systèmes d'irrigation et villes perchées comme Machu Picchu.Enfin, leurs religions différaient. Les Mayas pratiquaient des rituels sanglants pour apaiser leurs dieux, y compris des sacrifices humains. Les Incas, eux, adoraient surtout Inti, le dieu Soleil, et considéraient l'empereur comme son descendant direct. Leurs sacrifices humains existaient, mais étaient plus rares et souvent réservés à des moments exceptionnels.En somme, les Mayas furent des astronomes et des scribes brillants, mais fragmentés politiquement. Les Incas, eux, bâtirent un empire solide et organisé, mais sans écriture. Deux civilisations fascinantes, qui montrent la diversité et la richesse des mondes précolombiens bien avant l'arrivée des Européens. Hébergé par Acast.

P. Federico (Guatemala)Sabernos siervos inútiles, en el sentido que solo hacemos lo que tenemos que hacer, nos libera. Nos lleva a ver todo como don, como regalo. Eso es lo que despierta en nosotros el agradecimiento y el disfrute en todo lo que Dios nos encomienda.[Ver Meditación Escrita] https://www.hablarconjesus.com/meditacion_escrita/porcelana/
Conversamos con José Pablo del Águila sobre cómo la Municipalidad de Guatemala ha destinado 469 millones de quetzales en los últimos 15 años a pasos a desnivel, priorizando estas obras sin una estrategia integral de movilidad.La investigación revela cómo el reglamento de impacto vial, que debería servir para mitigar el tránsito generado por grandes proyectos privados, ha sido interpretado de forma amplia y utilizado principalmente para construir infraestructura que favorece al vehículo privado.Hablamos de la falta de planificación, la ausencia de inversión en transporte público y aceras, y de cómo esta lógica ha marcado la gestión municipal y la movilidad en la ciudad.
El 82 % de los ataques a defensores de bienes comunes en 2024 ocurrió en América Latina. Colombia, Guatemala, México y Brasil concentran la mayoría de los casos, según el informe anual de Global Witness 2025.
Dr. Trish Burgess, CMDA's Director of Global Health Outreach, and Dr. Andy Lamb, an internist, Army veteran, and longtime GHO team leader who recently reached the milestone of 50 mission trips, join host Dr. Mike Chupp. Andy shares how one trip to Guatemala reoriented his motives for serving, how praying with patients became part of his daily practice, and how years of overseas ministry softened a soldier-turned-internist into a more tender dad and mentor. Trish reflects on how GHO has matured over the years, strengthening logistics, pharmacy systems, and team leader preparation, so that healthcare professionals can focus on discipling teams and caring for patients. Whether you're considering your first mission trip or wondering how to serve more effectively, this episode offers encouragement and practical next steps.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for October 1st Publish Date: October 1st Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, October 1st and Happy Birthday to I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal KSU biology student gets hands-on experience in Guatemala clinic Macabre Victorian Funeral Experience returns to Root House Museum Graduation rates increase across state, including Cobb, Marietta All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 5 STORY 1: KSU biology student gets hands-on experience in Guatemala clinic Like a lot of college students, Kennesaw State junior David Roque spent his summer in the tropics. But beaches and ziplining? Not exactly. Instead, he was back in his hometown of Poptun, Guatemala, working at his dad’s medical clinic—his second summer doing so. David wore a lot of hats: checking in patients, translating, assisting with surgeries. Poptun, tucked in Guatemala’s northern Peten region, is remote—thick forests, few medical facilities. Patients travel miles for care, and David’s bilingual skills made him indispensable. Between shifts, he even managed to take a cell biology course remotely. Medicine runs in his blood. His grandfather was a doctor in Cuba, his dad runs the clinic, his mom’s a nurse, and his sister’s about to graduate med school. At KSU, David’s passion for medicine expanded into research. Through the First-Year Scholars program, he joined a project on radiation therapy for cancer patients, earning two publications in his first year. David’s work has taken him to conferences at Georgia Tech, the State Capitol, and even Pennsylvania. He’s now drafting a proposal for his own cancer research project, blending his love for medicine and discovery. STORY 2: Macabre Victorian Funeral Experience returns to Root House Museum This October, the William Root House takes a step back in time—into the somber world of a Victorian-era funeral. In 1856, Hannah and William Root shared their home with family, including Hannah’s father, Leonard Simpson, who passed away on Oct. 11 of that year. To honor his memory, the house is now staged as it would’ve been after his death: curtains drawn, black crepe draped over furniture, and mourning ribbons everywhere. Visitors can explore artifacts like 19th-century embalming tools, mourning jewelry made from human hair (yes, really), and other eerie relics of Victorian death customs. Daytime tours are included with regular admission. For those craving something darker, two after-hours events are on the calendar. Midnight Wake (Oct. 11, 11 p.m.–midnight): A candlelit VIP tour dives into embalming practices of the 1800s, ending with a haunting recital of a death poem written by Leonard Simpson himself. Tickets are $50, limited to 13 guests, and for ages 12+. Victorian Funeral Flashlight Tours (Oct. 25, 5–9 p.m.): Wander the house at your own pace, flashlight in hand, through dimly lit rooms. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Details at RootHouseMuseum.com/Funeral. STORY 3: Graduation rates increase across state, including Cobb, Marietta Graduation rates are climbing, and 2025 was a record-breaking year for Marietta, Cobb, and Georgia as a whole. Marietta High hit 92.2%, its highest since Georgia adopted the adjusted cohort method in 2011. Cobb County wasn’t far behind, with an 89.2% rate—its best ever. Statewide, Georgia’s seniors reached 87.2%, another all-time high. Cobb’s Superintendent Chris Ragsdale credited a decade of steady growth, with schools like South Cobb making huge leaps (up 9.5 points to 87.9%). Meanwhile, Marietta Superintendent Dr. Grant Rivera praised the “shared commitment” of teachers, families, and students. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Break: INGLES 5 STORY 4: UPDATE: Ted’s Montana Grill to fill 'Goldstein Gap' on Marietta Square After years of sitting empty, the infamous “Goldstein Gap” on Marietta Square is finally getting a new tenant—a Ted’s Montana Grill. The Marietta Historic Board of Review gave the project a unanimous thumbs-up, approving plans for a single-story restaurant designed to blend seamlessly with the Square’s historic charm. The lot at 77 North Park Square, owned by former Councilman Philip Goldstein’s family, has been vacant since 2010, when the Cuthbertson building was demolished. Past proposals, including a brewery and a five-story building, fizzled out. The new 4,311-square-foot building will feature a brick façade, mahogany trim, and a design that mimics a two-story structure to match its neighbors. Ted’s Montana Grill, founded by Ted Turner, will bring its signature American and Western-style menu to the space—finally filling a long-standing gap in the Square’s landscape. STORY 5: Multiple businesses close after east Cobb shopping center fire A fire at the Village East Cobb shopping center has left nearly every business there shuttered, at least for now. Bookmiser, the beloved indie bookstore, is among the hardest hit. Co-owner Annell Gerson said the shop is closed “until further notice” after smoke and soot from Sunday’s early morning fire damaged much of their inventory. The fire started in the back room of Owl Repair, a phone repair shop next door, likely from a lithium-ion battery, though the cause is still under investigation. Firefighters contained the flames, but smoke spread through the building’s shared attic, leaving damage in every business. Chop Stix China Bistro owner Lyn Lin said they’ll be closed “at least a week” to deep clean and toss all food. Bookmiser is working to salvage what they can, but in the meantime, customers can shop online at bookmiser.net. Break: STORY 6: Kemp denies Cobb Election Board's request to amend special election date Gov. Brian Kemp has denied a request from the Cobb Board of Elections to move the special election for former state Sen. Jason Esteves’ seat to Nov. 4, sticking with the original date of Nov. 18. Esteves, who resigned Sept. 10 to run for governor, left his District 35 seat—covering parts of Cobb and Fulton—vacant. The elections board argued Nov. 4, already a statewide Election Day, would save money and reduce voter confusion. But Kemp disagreed. “Convenience isn’t the priority,” Kemp wrote, emphasizing the need for voters and candidates to have more time. Local leaders, however, aren’t thrilled. Cobb Democratic Chair Essence Johnson called the decision “fiscally irresponsible,” while GOP Chair Mary Clarice Hathaway said it could lead to low turnout. Early voting starts Oct. 27, with registration closing Oct. 20. If a runoff is needed, it’ll happen Dec. 16—just in time for the holiday chaos. STORY 7: Autumn happenings Cobb County’s got fall covered—pumpkins, paint, parades, and just the right amount of spooky. Here’s a taste of what’s happening: Oct. 10, 6–7:30 p.m.: Paint Your Own Pumpkin Candy Dish at Sewell Mill Library. $28 gets you paint, glaze, and a kiln-fired masterpiece. Register online or call 770-509-4989. Oct. 14, 3–5 p.m.: Pumpkin Painting at Gritters Library. Bring your own pumpkin. All ages welcome (kids under 8 need an adult). Oct. 14, 4:30–5:30 p.m.: Pumpkin Drop Challenge at Switzer Library. Ages 8–12. Think egg drop, but with pumpkins. Oct. 17–18, 6:30–9 p.m.: Trick or Treatment Spooky Tour at R.L. Sutton Water Reclamation Facility. Creepy, educational, and after dark. Registration opens Oct. 1. Oct. 25, 5–10 p.m.: Free Fall Festival of Fun at Jim R. Miller Park. Oct. 25–31: Haunted House at Jim R. Miller Park. $5 admission. Pre-registration required. For even more fall fun, visit cobbcounty.gov. We’ll have closing comments after this.

About Etelle HigonnetEtelle Higonnet is a Yale-trained lawyer, environmental advocate, and human rights defender whose career spans war zones, rainforests, courtrooms, and global campaigns. She has worked with Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Greenpeace, Mighty Earth, and the National Wildlife Federation, leading initiatives that tackle deforestation, climate change, and modern slavery.Fluent in multiple languages and honored by the French government, Etelle brings a rare combination of legal expertise, grassroots activism, and international diplomacy to her work. Today, as founder of Coffee Watch, she is taking on one of the world's most beloved commodities, exposing the deforestation, poverty, slavery, and human rights abuses hidden in global coffee supply chains—and pushing for a more just and sustainable industry.About this EpisodeIn this courageous and eye-opening episode of The Matrix Green Pill Podcast, host Hilmarie Hutchison speaks with Etelle Higonnet about her lifelong fight for justice—bridging human rights and environmental activism in some of the world's toughest arenas.Etelle recounts her early days in Guatemala, where she witnessed firsthand the dangers faced by human rights defenders during a fragile peace process. She shares the inspiration behind her book Quiet Genocide, her experiences working on war crimes tribunals, and why she believes we cannot have human rights on a dead planet.The conversation dives deep into the dark side of coffee production—child labor, forced labor, gender-based violence, and massive deforestation—and how Coffee Watch is mobilizing legal action, petitions, and global consumer awareness to transform the industry. Etelle explains how everyday choices, from signing petitions to buying ethical coffee, can create ripple effects powerful enough to change corporations and protect both people and the planet.From stories of personal resilience to bold visions of transforming agriculture and even the aviation industry, Etelle's journey is a call to action for all of us: justice and sustainability are inseparable, and every voice matters in building a fairer world.Quotes1:31 - My whole life I've really known that I wanted to work on human rights and mid-career I sort of had an awakening about the environment when I realized we wouldn't have any human rights on a dead planet. 1:50 - I really felt this deep calling actually to fight for people whose rights were being abused. 7:24 - My dream at the time was to write this with an eye to helping build momentum for justice. 10:55 - I've got to make sure the rest of my life goes towards fighting climate change and the human rights violations that are associated with it. 14:56 - If you drink coffee on the regular, there's a very high chance you're basically drinking slavery. 15:14 - Brazil has a huge coffee slavery and forced labor and labor abuse problem. 21:29 - Coffee Watch uploaded all the petitions that other people and organizations have created for sustainable coffee. So, you can just do a one-stop shop and click on all the petitions.22:26 - Spreading the word about the problems and the solutions means that you're an ambassador for good coffee. So, signing petitions kind of makes you a coffee ninja for justice, hosting screenings kind of makes you an ambassador for the truth about coffee.24:25 - It's usually only two or three cents extra per cup when you buy more ethical, more responsible, sustainable coffee. 27:44 - The coffee industry has become so great and now they're like doing regenerative aThe Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

Against efficiency and isolation: learning humility from forgotten communities and the ancient art of the Georgian feastJohn Heers, founder of First Things Foundation, joins Ashley to discuss his unconventional approach to international development—sending people to live humbly in forgotten communities from Mozambique to Guatemala, learning local languages, and facilitating indigenous entrepreneurship rather than imposing Western solutions.The conversation weaves through the tyranny of "spreadsheet brain," the spiritual necessity of smallness over ego, and why efficiency isn't a virtue in itself. John introduces the Georgian supra—a traditional dinner built around ritualized toasting that creates communion without demanding psychological intimacy—and explains how this ancient social technology is resonating with Americans hungry for something beyond transactional relationships.John and Ashley explore how face-to-face gathering, shared meals, and acknowledging life's difficult realities (including death and sin) are essential acts of resistance against a machine culture that wants us isolated, autonomous, and always online.John and Ashley will be hosting a Georgian supra together at the next Doomer Optimism gathering in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, February 13-14, 2025. We hope that you're able to join us!

Ralph answers some of your recent questions about the genocide in Gaza, how to jumpstart civic engagement, and more!Your feedback is very important. And the more detailed and factual it is, the better off the impact will be by your initiative and getting back to us. You have to be active in a program like this. Because we're not just talking to the choir here. We want the choir to sing back—in affirmation or dissent.Ralph NaderI was astonished…how disinterested the American people are in empowering themselves. That's the problem we have. The lack of civic motivation, the lack of saying, “Look, we've given our power to only 535 people in the Congress, and they've turned it against us on behalf of some 1,500 corporations. We're going to turn it around. We're the sovereign power.” As I've said a hundred times, the Constitution starts with “We the people,” not “We the Congress” or “We the corporations.” And the people don't seem to want to focus on that. If they had anyone in their neighborhood and community who were treating them the way Congress is treating them—as voters, as workers, as consumers, as parents, as children, as taxpayers—they would never allow it.Ralph NaderYou get more and more voters vulnerable to just what comes out of a politician's mouth. Remember, everything Trump has achieved politically has come out of his mouth—not out of his deeds, just out of his mouth. Repeatedly, unrebutted largely over the mass media, and faithfully relayed to the American people by a supine media which points out his mistakes once in a while, but it was too little, too late.Ralph NaderNews 9/26/25* This week, the campaign for Palestinian statehood notched major victories. According to the BBC, the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Australia and Portugal all announced on Sunday that they would recognize the state of Palestine. They are expected to be joined by a number of smaller states, including Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra and San Marino. These countries, all traditionally close allies of the United States and Israel, join the 140 countries that already recognize the State of Palestine. A statement by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese explains that this move is “part of a co-ordinated international effort to build new momentum for a two-state solution, starting with a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the hostages.” These heads of state are pursuing this policy despite a thinly veiled threat from Congressional Republicans, a group of whom – including Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Elise Stefanik – sent a letter to President Macron and Prime Ministers Starmer, Carney and Albanese warning them of possible “punitive measures in response,” and urging them to “reconsider,” per the Guardian.* In more Palestine news, as the Global Sumud Flotilla draws near to the coast of Gaza, they are apparently under low-level attack. Al Jazeera reports the flotilla, “has reported explosions and communications jamming as drones hovered overhead.” In response, the United Nations has called for a probe, with UN Human Rights Office spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan stating, “There must be an independent, impartial and thorough investigation into the reported attacks and harassment by drones and other objects.” In response to this harassment, Reuters reports Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto expressed the “strongest condemnation” and ordered the “Italian multi-purpose frigate Fasan, previously sailing north of Crete, to head towards the flotilla ‘for possible rescue operations', focusing primarily on Italian citizens.” The strong response by the Italian government is likely related to the labor unrest the targeting of the flotilla has engendered within the country. ANSA, a leading Italian news outlet, reports the Unione Sindacale di Base or USB “would proclaim a wildcat general strike and protests in 100 Italian cities for Gaza after the success of Monday's stoppage and protests involving an estimated 500,000 people in 80 cities.” The union has organized these massive protests under the slogan “let's block everything.”* In more foreign policy news, following on the heels of the protests in Nepal, anti-corruption protestors took to the streets in the Philippines this week, Time reports. The acute cause of these protests was a recent audit which found widespread corruption in the country's flood control projects. The Philippines has invested around $9.5 billion on such projects since 2022, but these have been plagued by kickback schemes, resulting in shoddy work and even deaths. Even President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., aka “Bongbong,” sympathized with the protestors, saying “Do you blame them for going out into the streets? If I wasn't President, I might be out in the streets with them…Of course, they are enraged. Of course, they are angry. I'm angry. We should all be angry. Because what's happening is not right.” The potency of these protests is likely to grow as the Philippines was hit this week by Typhoon Ragasa, which is reported to have killed three Filipinos this week, per NBC.* For our final foreign policy update, just days after the dubiously-legal strikes that killed 11 Venezuelans on a boat the U.S. claims was being used to transport drugs, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro sent a letter to American special envoy Richard Grenell, per CNN. In this letter, Maduro denies any involvement with narco-trafficking, calling the allegations “fake news, propagated through various media channels,” and calling for Trump to “promote peace through constructive dialogue and mutual understanding throughout the hemisphere.” Trump brushed off Maduro, saying “We'll see what happens with Venezuela,” perhaps implying a renewed attempt to remove the Venezuelan president. Since then, the U.S. has conducted more of these lethal strikes, with no conclusive proof of the victims' criminality. The U.S. government is offering a $50 million bounty for Maduro's arrest.* Moving northward, a disturbing story comes to us from Florida. The Miami Herald reports, “As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined.” Speaking to the paper, attorneys characterized entering the facility as entering “an alternate [immigration] system where the normal rules don't apply.” This story cites one case of a man “accidentally deported to Guatemala before a scheduled bond hearing,” similar to the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, and a Cuban man supposedly transferred to a facility in California but who could not be located there. This kind of disappearing of migrants adds fuel to the fire of the worst suspicions about the administration's immigration policies. The Florida facility was forced to halt operations after a court ruling in August, but an appeals court has now overruled that ruling. The future of the site and its detainees remains uncertain.* In another instance of what appears to be a cover-up by the Trump administration, NPR reports the Department of Agriculture will “end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey.” In a statement, the USDA called the report “redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous.” This removes another crucial data tool, following the discontinuation of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' jobs report Trump ended just weeks ago. The signature legislation of Trump's second term thus far, the One Big Beautiful Bill, expanded work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which is estimated to cut food aid to 2.4 million Americans. That will surely add to the 47.4 million food insecure households recorded in 2023. Crystal FitzSimons, president of the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC), told NPR “The national food insecurity survey is a critical, reliable data source that shows how many families in America struggle to put food on the table…Without that data, we are flying blind.”* And in another assault on the regulatory state, the Supreme Court this week allowed Trump to keep Rebecca Slaughter – the last remaining Democrat on the Federal Trade Commission – out of her post for another three months. POLITICO reports the high court is reviewing a 90-year-old law which “limit[s] the president's power to fire…officials for political reasons.” According to this report, many expect the conservative majority on the court will rule that that law “unconstitutionally interferes with the president's ability to control the executive branch.” If so, Trump will be able to remove Slaughter permanently – along with any other remaining Democrats within the regulatory apparatus.* On the media front, ABC – and its parent company, Disney – have balked, reinstating Jimmy Kimmel's late night television program after abruptly suspending the show last week. Kimmel, in his return, clarified that “it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” but excoriated the ABC affiliates who took his show off the air, calling the move “un-American.” This from AP. Theories abound as to why exactly ABC and/or Disney walked back what seemed like a cancellation; these include a potential costly lawsuit due to wrongful termination of Kimmel's contract, as well as a coordinated boycott campaign targeting Disney's streaming service, Disney+. For his part, President Trump washed his hands of the fiasco, writing that Kimmel can “rot in his bad Ratings,” per New York Magazine.* In tech news, Axios reports the Trump administration has approved Grok, Elon Musk's AI chatbot, for official use by every government agency. This news comes via a press release from the General Services Administration. This release quotes Musk, who says “We look forward to continuing to work with President Trump and his team to rapidly deploy AI throughout the government for the benefit of the country.” This comes after an August 25th letter in which a coalition of over 30 consumer groups – such as Public Citizen, Consumer Federation of America, and the Center for AI and DigitalPolicy – urged the Office of Management and Budget, led by Russell Vought, to “take immediate action to block the deployment or procurement of Grok.” Among the concerns cited in this letter are Grok's penchant for generating “conspiratorial and inflammatory content, including accusations that South Africans were committing a ‘white genocide'...Expressing ‘skepticism' about historical consensus of the Holocaust death toll and espousing Holocaust denial talking points…[and] Referring to itself as ‘MechaHitler'.” It remains to be seen what, if any, next steps opponents can take to halt the incorporation of Grok into the daily functions of the federal government.* Finally, Adelita Grijalva has won the Arizona 7th congressional district special election in a landslide. According to preliminary reports, she swamped her Republican opponent Daniel Butierez by nearly 40 points, according to Newsweek. This is a substantially larger margin than that won by Kamala Harris in 2024, who won the district by 23 points, which itself was a 10-point decline from Joe Biden, who won the district by 33 points in 2020. Grijalva's ascension to the House will further winnow away the Republicans' razor-thin majority in that chamber, bringing the margin to 219-214. She could also prove to be the critical 218th vote in favor of releasing the Epstein files. Adelita is the daughter of Raúl Grijalva, who passed away earlier this year. The elder Grijalva was widely considered one of the most progressive House Democrats, being the first member of Congress to endorse Bernie Sanders in his 2016 campaign and the second to call for Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Hopefully, the new Representative Grijalva will fill those big shoes.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

How can taking on outside leadership roles actually spark innovation and strengthen resilience? According to Joaquin Cordero, a global entrepreneurial leader, dedicating time to serve in volunteer leadership opens doors to fresh perspectives and powerful relationships. He highlights how working with peers who run their own companies forces you to lead by influence and build trust instead of relying on authority. This approach has helped him foster a stronger company culture and inspire long term loyalty among his team. Joaquin's experiences prove that growth often happens when you challenge yourself beyond your own organization. In this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast, John Corcoran speaks with Joaquin Cordero, Founder and President of Lumen, to talk about why stepping outside your business sparks innovation and resilience. They explore how serving in global leadership roles fuels personal and professional growth and how trust and collaboration transform company culture. Joaquin also shares lessons from navigating unexpected challenges and building long-term client relationships.

For many children, going barefoot isn't a choice—it's a daily struggle that puts their health, safety, and future at risk. But one pair of shoes can change that story.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is bringing hope and dignity to vulnerable children around the world. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share how God is changing lives through something as ordinary—and extraordinary—as shoes.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Mission That Began in DallasBuckner Shoes for Orphan Souls started in 1999 as a local effort in Dallas, Texas, to serve children in Russian orphanages. Over 25 years later, God has expanded this work into a global ministry. Today, more than 5 million children in 86 countries have received shoes through the generosity of churches, businesses, and believers across the U.S.What began as a small act of compassion has grown into a worldwide movement of hope.More Than Shoes: Health, Safety, and EducationAround 300 million children worldwide lack access to shoes. This barrier affects nearly every aspect of life:Health—Shoes prevent footborne diseases, many of which carry social stigma and long-term consequences.Education—In many countries, shoes are required for school attendance. Without them, children are forced to stay home, trapped in cycles of poverty.Hope—Receiving shoes as a gift in Jesus' name opens hearts to the Gospel and connects families with life-changing ministries.Shoes are more than fabric and rubber—they are a bridge to dignity, opportunity, and transformation.Restoring Dignity for FamiliesFor many of us, buying new shoes for back-to-school is routine. But in parts of the world where Buckner serves, parents may spend months saving to afford just one pair—or go without entirely. Some families must rotate a single pair of shoes between siblings, deciding who can attend school on a given day.The gift of shoes restores dignity to parents, enabling them to provide for their children and giving kids the confidence to learn, grow, and thrive.Global Reach and Local ImpactBuckner's ministry extends both globally and locally:United States—Shoe distributions in Texas, including for families affected by flooding.Latin America—Serving children in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras, and Peru.Africa—Programs in Ethiopia and Kenya.Beyond—Partnerships have extended Buckner's reach into 75+ additional countries.Every pair of shoes opens the door to broader ministry. Family Hope Centers offer resources, education, and Christ-centered training, bringing lasting transformation to entire communities.How You Can JoinTogether, we're striving to provide 1,000 children with shoes, socks, and the message of God's love.$15 provides one child with shoes and socks.$150 equips ten children.Visit GiveShoesToday.org to make your gift and bring hope to a child in need.Shoes may seem ordinary, but in the life of a child, they are extraordinary. They represent safety, opportunity, dignity, and above all, the love of Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 40 and have several old 401(k) accounts from past employers.

En este episodio de Tangente hablamos sobre la libertad de expresión y sus múltiples caras: desde los discursos en escenarios internacionales hasta las tensiones históricas entre poder político, medios y ciudadanía en Guatemala. Reflexionamos sobre cómo se ejercen los límites de este derecho, el papel de los monopolios mediáticos, la represión vivida en el pasado y los retos actuales en un mundo cada vez más polarizado.Gracias a nuestros patrocinadores:Party SmartSíguenos en nuestras redes sociales:Whatsapp:https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaFGJYN7z4ko8qL0Rk3USpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6nwrSBjxwubm0nJlEDoJdD?si=d2a6238d0a05462eTiktok: / tangentepodcast X: / tangentegt Facebook: / tangentegt Instagram: / tangente_gt

Scott Plank—who helped build Under Armour from the ground up, was the largest angel investor in WeWork, and is a seed investor in Fundrise—joins us to share what it really feels like to bet everything, lose big, win bigger, and keep moving forward. In this conversation, Scott traces his path from building homes as a carpenter and selling bracelets in Guatemala to helping Under Armour grow from a family startup into a billion-dollar public company. He explains the financing strategies that kept the company alive in its early days, the lessons of scaling operations under intense pressure, and why he believes Under Armour couldn't be founded the way they did in today's world. Scott also shares his experience as the largest angel investor in WeWork, unpacking why he saw value where others didn't, and how he navigated both the spectacular rise and fall of the company. Along the way, he reflects on risk—when to push all in, when to shut things down, and how entrepreneurship is often about knowing when the world has changed. Finally, he discusses his ongoing work in real estate and technology, including data centers and community development, and offers advice for the next generation of entrepreneurs. For Scott, the throughline is clear: success depends not just on grit, but on aligning values, timing, and the willingness to evolve when circumstances demand it. — For a deeper dive into these insights and more, be sure to listen to the full episode of the Onward podcast.

Aimee Roberson, executive director of Cultural Survival, joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss how her organization helps Indigenous communities maintain their traditions, languages and knowledge while living among increasingly Westernized societies. As a biologist and geologist with Indigenous heritage, Aimee Roberson is uniquely suited to lead the organization in bridging these worlds, including via “two-eyed seeing,” which blends traditional ecological knowledge and Western science to increase humanity's ways of knowing, toward a view of people as active participants in shaping the natural world. Cultural Survival also sees radio as a critical tool for keeping communities together and fostering a relationship with the land. Roberson shares how their robust radio project is specifically designed to train and empower Indigenous media creators to share local news and cultural information of critical importance, in multiple languages across the world. “It's something that's [a] core part of what we do. Some people are like, ‘Ah, radio, you know, this is 2025. Who cares about radio?' But Indigenous people really care about radio because it keeps our communities together. It's a primary form of communication.” Find the Mongabay Newscast wherever you listen to podcasts, from Apple to Spotify. All past episodes are also listed here at the Mongabay website.

It's hard to believe some of the stories of deceit and corruption by Donald Trump and Pam Bondi's DOJ officials and attorneys are real. But as Politico just reported: "DOJ backs off claims about Guatemalan children it sought to deport".The case involves parents who were located in Guatemala but who had children in the United States. In a staggering display of lying to a court, a DOJ attorney named Drew Ensign told a judge that "all of the parents and guardians" in Guatemala wanted their children deported from the US back to Guatemala.It turns out that NONE of the parents and guardians of children said any such thing. Indeed, a subsequent DOJ attorney who appeared in the case withdrew and retracted the false statement.Glenn discusses this legal development and suggests that the court take action to hold Ensign accountable for providing false information to the court in an apparent effort to trample the due process rights of Guatemalan children.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Code Switching Clay and Buck dive into the political and cultural landscape shaping the first fall of the Trump 2.0 presidency, highlighting the ongoing resistance from federal judges against the administration’s policies. The hosts criticize what they describe as partisan judicial activism, particularly rulings that attempt to block President Trump’s constitutional authority—such as deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles during immigration-related unrest. They emphasize how these decisions are often overturned by higher courts, including the Supreme Court, reinforcing Trump’s legal standing. The show also covers a controversial case involving 76 unaccompanied Guatemalan children who were blocked from being reunited with their families in Guatemala by a federal judge. Clay and Buck frame this as an example of how judicial overreach is obstructing humanitarian efforts and immigration reform under Trump 2.0. Call in the Guard! A deep dive into the escalating crisis of urban crime in America, with a sharp focus on cities like Chicago, Washington D.C., and Memphis. They highlight the Trump administration’s proactive stance on law and order, praising President Trump’s efforts to reduce violent crime and carjackings while exposing the political resistance from Democrat leaders who, they argue, are failing to protect their constituents. The conversation centers around the staggering statistic that 50 people were shot in Chicago over Labor Day weekend, prompting Clay and Buck to question why Democratic officials like Mayor Brandon Johnson oppose federal assistance, including National Guard deployment, to restore safety. They contrast Johnson’s slogan-heavy rhetoric with more pragmatic voices like Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough, who surprisingly called for bipartisan cooperation with Trump to address crime in Illinois. The hosts also revisit the controversial remarks of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who suggested that increased policing would lead to too many arrests of black and brown individuals. Clay and Buck challenge this logic, emphasizing that the real victims of unchecked crime are often minorities living in high-crime neighborhoods. They argue that the true measure of safety is whether women and children can walk or jog freely in their communities without fear. Commie Mamdani The New York City mayoral race, scrutinizing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist. They dissect the New York Times’ attempt to downplay his ideology and warn that his proposed policies—like government-run grocery stores—could devastate the city’s economy and infrastructure. The hosts debate whether Mamdani is a true ideologue or simply an inexperienced politician who may struggle to implement his radical agenda. The segment also includes reflections on past NYC mayors like Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg, and Bill de Blasio, comparing their leadership styles and impact on crime. Clay and Buck argue that Bloomberg’s business acumen and Giuliani’s law enforcement background made them effective leaders, while de Blasio’s progressive policies contributed to the city’s decline. Doesn't Have to be This Way Clay and Buck scrutinize Chicago’s violent crime epidemic, where Governor JB Pritzker dodges questions about the city’s safety following a weekend of 54 shootings and 7 deaths. Clay and Buck argue that President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C. has proven effective, and they challenge Democrats to explain their resistance to similar measures in cities like Memphis, St. Louis, and New Orleans. The hosts dissect Mayor Brandon Johnson’s inflammatory rhetoric, including his call for citizens to “defend the land” against Trump’s law enforcement efforts. Clay and Buck criticize this as dangerous and historically inaccurate, noting that Chicago was not built by slaves or indigenous people, and that invoking such narratives undermines real solutions to crime. They emphasize the psychological deterrent effect of visible law enforcement and the success of plainclothes policing units in cities like New York. The conversation shifts to the broader political implications of Trump’s crime-fighting strategy, highlighting how Democrats are increasingly boxed into defending the indefensible. Clay and Buck argue that Trump’s actions are saving lives, even if those lives can’t be individually identified, and they call out the hypocrisy of Democrats who welcomed National Guard troops during COVID but now oppose them for public safety.
