This week, it's just Hannah and Barbi - and the conversation goes everywhere in the best way. What starts as a sweet attempt to take HB to watch trains (which… didn't quite happen) turns into a wide-ranging, heartfelt, and sometimes hilarious catch-up.They reflect on last week's conversation with Scott and continue talking about Civil Rights and some of the movies that have opened their eyes in new ways. From there, they shift into deeper territory - talking about Jesus, true beauty, and the simple but powerful truth that we don't earn Heaven; it's a gift we receive through Him.Of course, it wouldn't be a “Mom and Hannah” episode without a few unexpected turns - like outdoor showers, finally getting the AC fixed, the correct way to use a blower, and their honest take on doing the carnivore diet (versus how they actually do it).It's thoughtful, practical, a little random, and full of real life - the kind of conversation that feels like you're right there with them.

Rules of the Game: The Bolder Advocacy Podcast

Legislative season is underway, and we're seeing a wave of proposals that could significantly reshape the operating environment for nonprofits and advocacy organizations. We're tracking over 1,000 bills across the country, and while some of them do positive things, like make improvements to our electoral system or increase voter turnout, unfortunately, most of these measures are taking aim at impactful nonprofit advocacy. These proposals collectively reflect an erosion of the civic space in the nonprofit ecosystem. We're here to break down some of the key trends and help you stay informed about emerging twists in compliance.   Attorneys for this episode Maggie Ellinger-Locke Susan Finkle Sourlis Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort   Shownotes   Federal Legislation   ·      The SAVE Act would require voter registration applicants to provide documentary proof of US citizenship and impose strict photo ID rules to vote in federal elections. ·      Federal law is already clear that only US citizens are permitted to vote in federal elections. ·      This legislation could disproportionately impact voters of color, married people who have changed their last names, and low-income voters.     State Legislation   ·      So far, we've seen over 150 bills filed in at least half the states, that seek to impact the voting process. Georgia's SB 586 proposes sweeping changes to state elections including early voting. Under current law voters are permitted to cast their ballot at any polling location in their county during the early voting period. But if this bill becomes law, voters would be restricted to just one polling location. In West Virginia, SB 90 would prohibit voters not affiliated with a major political party from voting in a primary election. In Kansas, HB 2438 would prohibit online voter registration unless a website uses a .gov domain or is explicitly approved by the secretary of state. Corporate Power Reset movement: The goal of this movement is to create an end run around supreme court precedent like Citizens United and Buckley v Valeo[NO1] [ME2] [SS3]  by prohibiting all corporate, whether for profit or nonprofit, engagement with elections.[SS4] [ME5]  ·      Restricting foreign influence on ballot measure campaigns: Federal law already bans foreign national contributions to candidate campaigns, but these bills are seeking to extend the restrictions further, narrowing the funding landscape for direct democracy. o   During the 2026 state legislative sessions, we've seen 39 bills introduced in twenty states that would restrict foreign contributions to ballot measure campaigns. o   Some focus narrowly on majority foreign-owned businesses, but many target individuals and ballot question committees. These bills often require affirmative certifications that no foreign national funding is involved in an organization's ballot measure advocacy. Baby FARA bills: At the federal level, the Foreign Agents Registration Act was enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda. It requires individuals or entities acting "at the order, request, or under the direction or control" of a foreign principal to register with the Department of Justice and file detailed disclosures. Historically, FARA has been applied in relatively specific circumstances, primarily lobbying or political work directly tied to foreign governments. State-level analogues, however, are often drafted much more broadly. These proposals could sweep in a wide range of advocacy activities and impact organizations engaged in international solidarity movements. Terrorism: US law only allows foreign groups to be labeled as foreign terrorist organizations. And new policy directs federal law enforcement agencies to "investigate and disrupt networks, entities, and organizations" that have views in contravention to the president's. This type of legislation is now making its way to the states. In Florida, lawmakers are pushing several bills, such as HB 1471, SB 1632, and SB 1634, would dramatically expand the state's power to designate organizations as "domestic terrorist organizations." o   The bills broaden the definition of domestic terrorism, using sweeping language about activities intended to "influence the policy of a government" or "affect the conduct of government," terms that could be interpreted expansively. o   Once designated, an organization could have its funds frozen, be barred from receiving state contracts or funding, and expose its staff, donors, and supporters to criminal liability for providing "material support."   Hopeful Legislation:   ·      In Georgia, lawmakers are considering a bill that would expand student protest rights, excusing absences for classes missed due to protest attendance. ·      In Missouri, HB 1871 extends the "no excuse" absentee voting period from two weeks to four.   Resources Public Charities Can Lobby (Factsheet) Being a Player: A Guide to IRS Lobbying Regulations for Advocacy Charities Practical Guidance: What Nonprofits Need to Know about Lobbying in Your State

Note Derya Arms Note (Nick) Ruger mk iv Note (Nick) Derya SxS Note Gary plauche day Bullet Points Gun Fights No one stepped into the arena this week. The Agency Brief Agency Update THE HOOK (COLD OPEN) “Gary Plauché didn't ‘take the law into his own hands'—he just put justice on a faster timeline.” THE INTEL (THE STORY) The Play-by-Play The Grooming (1983): Jeff Doucet, local karate instructor, manipulates the Plauché family in Baton Rouge. Classic predator playbook: isolation and trust-building. The Kidnapping (Feb 1984): Doucet abducts 11-year-old Jody, fleeing to California. Repeatedly rapes and abuses the boy in an Anaheim motel. The Rescue: Doucet allows Jody to call his mother; FBI tracks the call. Doucet arrested, Jody saved. The Ambush (March 16, 1984): Doucet extradited to Baton Rouge Metro Airport. News crews tipped off for the “perp walk.” Gary Plauché waits by the payphones in a baseball cap and sunglasses. The Shot: As Doucet passes, live on WBRZ-TV, Gary turns. One shot from a .38 snub-nose into Doucet's head. “Why, Jeff?” The Verdict: Zero prison time. 7-year suspended sentence, 5 years probation, 300 hours community service. The judge and DA knew no jury in Louisiana would convict a father for killing his son's rapist. The Reality Check (Hidden Incentives) Fear of Jury Nullification: The state cut a plea deal because they were terrified of a “Not Guilty” verdict setting a legal precedent for vigilance. Institutional CYA: The police failed to protect the kid, then paraded the predator like a celebrity. They needed the case to go away quietly to cover their own incompetence. The “Unwritten Law”: Backroom signaling acknowledged that while the law says “murder,” the community standard says “justice.” The plea deal was the system bowing to the reality that some people just need killing. THE 2A ANGLE (LEGAL & IMPACT) The Threat: Modern Disarmament Red Flag Laws: In 2025, a father in Gary's emotional state would be “Red Flagged” and stripped of his rights before he could protect his family. “Mental Health” Trap: The state uses righteous anger as proof of “instability.” If you are angry your kid was hurt, you are now a “prohibited person.” Bruen Test: Text, History, Tradition Text: The 2A protects “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms.” It doesn't cite an exception for “angry dads.” History & Tradition: The U.S. has a long tradition of “defense of habitation” and defense of kin. While vigilante execution isn't protected, the right to carry for family defense is absolute. Analysis: Anti-gunners use Plauché as an “outlier” to justify broad restrictions. Under Bruen, you cannot restrict the rights of the law-abiding majority because one dad settled a score. Regulatory Creep: Backdoor Control Soli-Geography: Taking the “sensitive place” logic of an airport and expanding it to everywhere emotions run high (schools, parks, sidewalks). The Narrative War: Media uses this clip to argue that gun owners are “ticking time bombs,” ignoring that Gary was calm, precise, and harmed no one else. THE TALKING POINTS (ON-AIR READY) “The system calls it vigilantism. I call it parenting. Gary Plauché did what the courts were too weak to do.” “Gun control saves pedophiles. Disarming law-abiding fathers only makes the world safer for monsters like Jeff Doucet.” “In 1984, a judge understood that a father's love doesn't wait for an appeals court. Today, that same dad gets Red Flagged.” “Using Gary Plauché to argue against the Second Amendment is like banning seatbelts because someone used a car to leave a crime scene.” “Gary proved that sometimes the state is too slow, too soft, and too stupid to handle the monsters. That's why we carry.” The Alley Going Ballistic Virginia S.B. 749: Senator Cites Handgun Attacks to Justify Assault Weapons Ban Virginia Senator Saddam Salim (D) sponsored S.B. 749, an assault weapons ban targeting AR-15s and semiautomatic rifles, which passed Democrat-controlled legislature on March 9, 2026, effective July 1, 2026. Salim justified the ban by referencing handgun attacks, including the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting and 2019 Virginia Beach shooting. The bill includes a grandfather clause for pre-effective date possession but prohibits sales, transfers, and new purchases. The Gist: Virginians statewide; applies to possession, sale, and transfer of AR-15s and semiautomatic rifles. Impact: Passed by Virginia Democrat lawmakers on March 9, 2026; effective July 1, 2026; grandfather clause allows retention if possessed prior but bans sale, transfer, or new purchases. Bottom Line: Senator Saddam Salim cited handgun attacks (Virginia Tech 2007, Virginia Beach 2019) to justify banning AR-15s and semiautomatic rifles via S.B. 749.0 Washington HB 2521 & HB 5974: Background Check Fee Hike and Sheriff Silencing Bills Washington Democrats passed House Bill 2521, allowing the State Patrol to raise background check fees for firearm transactions from $18 potentially to $35 to cover costs, and House Bill 5974, empowering a state board to remove elected sheriffs refusing to enforce gun laws. Both bills advanced through the Democrat-controlled 2026 legislative session and await Gov. Bob Ferguson's expected signature. HB 2521 takes effect May 1, 2027, if signed, amid opposition citing constitutional violations. The Gist: Washington state: HB 2521 affects gun owners undergoing background checks for firearm transactions; HB 5974 targets elected county sheriffs, particularly those opposing gun control enforcement. Impact: HB 2521 grants WSP authority to hike fees as a ‘blank check,' viewed as a poll tax impairing constitutional right to bear arms (Article 1, Section 24); HB 5974 enables state board removal of non-compliant sheriffs, backed by Alliance for Gun Responsibility but opposed by sheriffs and 86% in a KOMO poll. Bottom Line: Both bills passed legislature and sent to Gov. Ferguson for signature (expected); imposes higher costs on gun transactions and risks state override of elected sheriffs on gun law enforcement. Old Dominion University Terror Attack (Virginia) Exposes Myth of Gun Tracing A terror attack at Old Dominion University in Virginia involved a stolen Glock 44 pistol used by Jalloh, a prohibited felon, highlighting the ineffectiveness of firearms tracing systems. The gun's chain of custody was broken by theft, and its partially obliterated serial number rendered tracing futile; investigators identified the seller via phone records instead. The article argues that national tracing and registration efforts are obsolete, costly, and rarely solve crimes, citing examples like Canada's handgun registry. The Gist: Old Dominion University (Norfolk, Virginia); Newport News, Virginia (gun theft); United States broadly (hundreds of millions of firearms over 10 years old or stolen are untraceable). Impact: Firearms tracing fails due to stolen guns breaking custody chains, obliterated serial numbers, and old firearms; registration systems like Canada's handgun registry (since 1934) solved no crimes by 1995; promotes electronic surveillance over ineffective gun control measures. Bottom Line: Firearms tracing and registration systems are obsolete, cost-ineffective myths that do not solve violent crimes, as proven by the Old Dominion case where phone records, not tracing, identified the gun seller.

The Oregon Legislature passed a bill in the 2026 session, House Bill 4007, that changes several laws around e-bikes and things like e-scooters, e-skateboards, one-wheels, e-unicycles, and more. For the first time, Oregon law defines "powered micromobility device." HB 4007 also lowered the legal age for riding a Class 1 (no throttle, 20 mph max speed) e-bike from 16 to 14 and the bill makes it illegal for retailers to sell e-motorcycles as "e-bikes."I interviewed Oregon Micromobility Network (OMN) leader and Street Trust Board Member Cameron Bennett to learn more about the bill.

In February 2024, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 117, which allows for the release of grand jury documents from the 2006 investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. This legislation permits the disclosure of grand jury testimony if the subject of the inquiry is deceased, the investigation was about sexual activity with a minor, and the testimony was previously disclosed by a court order.The bill, effective July 1, 2024, aims to provide transparency and justice for Epstein's victims by revealing previously sealed grand jury proceedings. This move has been celebrated by victims and advocates as a significant step toward accountability and justice.Epstein's 2006 investigation involved the Palm Beach Police Department, which had recommended multiple felony charges, including unlawful sexual activity with a minor and lewd or lascivious molestation. However, the State Attorney at the time chose to present the evidence to a grand jury, resulting in the details and names of those involved remaining sealed.HB 117's passage was supported by two of Epstein's victims, who joined Governor DeSantis in Palm Beach to mark the occasion. Governor DeSantis emphasized that the public deserves to know who participated in Epstein's sex trafficking and that wealth and status should not protect individuals from facing justice. Representative Peggy Gossett-Seidman also highlighted the significance of this legislation for the victims and the Palm Beach community that suffered from Epstein's actions.And now those documents are available for us to dive into. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein transcripts - DocumentCloud

The Washington State House has passed a controversial bill, HB 2034, that redirects $4.5 billion from the Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement System Plan 1 (LEOFF 1) while simultaneously passing record tax hikes. Republicans and pension advocates are raising alarms about the long-term implications of this decision. While Democrats claim the fund is healthy and retirees will receive promised benefits, critics like Representative John Ley are skeptical, likening the promises to easily broken "pie crust promises." The bill terminates LEOFF 1, creates a new plan, and transfers the funds, raising concerns about future legislative raids on pension funds. This move comes despite warnings from pension analysts about overly optimistic investment growth projections that could undermine the system's health, prompting fears of potential negative impacts on retirees and the state's financial stability.

The discussion shifts to Texas politics with James Tallarico's Senate candidacy, his controversial statements on gender and abortion, and concerns over voter strategy against him. Marc then explores Missouri's HB 1770 with grandfather Alan Coggins and Detective Charlie Herwig, addressing the need to extend the statute of limitations for child abuse cases to allow justice for victims.

Is the “Texas Miracle” still alive — and what does it take to keep Texas competitive in 2026 and beyond? In this episode of Texas Talks, Megan Mauro, Interim President and CEO of the Texas Association of Business (TAB), joins Brad Swail to break down the state of the Texas economy. As the state chamber of commerce representing businesses of every size and industry, TAB sits at the center of Texas' pro-growth policy debates. Mauro explains how Texas maintains its reputation as a top business destination — from no personal or corporate income tax to regulatory consistency and recent property tax relief for small businesses. She discusses HB 9's business personal property tax exemption increase, why consistency across Texas' 254 counties matters, and how the Legislature is approaching affordability and housing challenges. The conversation also dives into: Why Texas is the 7th largest economy in the world Attracting corporate headquarters while protecting small businesses The importance of USMCA for Texas trade Workforce alignment between industry and education Childcare as a workforce issue Why data centers and AI are both economic and national security priorities Texas' “all of the above and below” energy strategy Mauro makes the case that a thriving business climate isn't just about corporations — it's about livelihoods, job creation, and ensuring Texas families can continue building the American dream.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and other state leaders have touted the Peach State as one of the best places to do business. However, some lawmakers and advocacy groups say in order for that to be fully true, Georgia must do right by its workforce. As Georgia lawmakers are convening at the state capitol for the 2026 legislative session, State Representative Dewey McClain of Lawrenceville and Ogechi Oparah, the organizing manager representing 9to5 Georgia, are among those prioritizing several labor-related proposed bills: HB1318, HB394, HB395 and HB 1118. Also on today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” the Atlanta People's Campaign will host its third assembly on Saturday, March 14. The aim is to have neighbors meet neighbors, discuss problems in their communities, and invoke change. Organizer Mshairi Siyanda joined Host Rose Scott on Wednesday's "Closer Look" to discuss the upcoming gathering and her hope for community-focused solutions. Movements like this became important to Siyanda after growing up in an Atlanta neighborhood that struggled economically, and after experiencing uncomfortable and changing local attitudes about Black wealth after the 1996 Olympics.

How to Build an 800-Visit/Week Chiropractic Practice with ZERO Marketing | Dr. Austin DavisWhat does it actually take to build the highest-volume, single-doctor chiropractic office in a major city without spending a single dollar on Facebook ads, Google PPC, or gimmicky marketing?In this episode of The Chiropractic Authority Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Austin Davis, a powerhouse principled chiropractor and the first-ever President of the Montana Chiropractic Council. Dr. Davis shares his incredible journey from surviving a severe cervical spine injury that almost ended in a spinal fusion, to growing up under the mentorship of Sid Williams at Dynamic Essentials (DE), and ultimately building massive, cash-based practices in both San Francisco and Missoula, Montana.We dive deep into the philosophy of pure chiropractic, the historical (and ongoing) attacks by the medical model, and the guerrilla warfare tactics Montana docs used to defeat HB 500—a bill that threatened to unravel the profession by giving chiropractors prescriptive rights for pharmaceuticals.If you want to grow deep roots in your community, communicate the "Big Idea" effectively, and protect the sacred trust of chiropractic, this episode is a masterclass.Topics Covered:[00:00] Intro: Welcome Dr. Austin Davis to the show.[01:12] The hockey injury at age 13 that saved him from a spinal fusion and proved the power of chiropractic.[05:50] Growing up at Dynamic Essentials (DE) and the profound influence of Sid Williams on the profession.[10:15] The systemic oppression of chiropractic by the medical industry and the historical AMA Supreme Court case.[22:40] Building the highest volume single-doctor office in the Bay Area (800+ visits a week) with just one staff member.[27:28] Fleeing California's medical mandates to protect his family and relocating to Missoula, MT.[37:27] A masterclass on opening a cash-practice in a brand new city with ZERO marketing budget.[46:21] The danger of "lukewarm metapractors" and the dilution of modern chiropractic education.[50:18] The fight against HB 500 and HB 929: Why giving chiropractors prescriptive rights for drugs destroys the profession.[01:07:37] Uniting the state: The birth of the Montana Chiropractic Council (MCC).[01:10:01] Details on "The Roundup"—Montana's first-ever philosophy and continuing education conference.Key Takeaways for Practice Growth:Clear the Interference: You don't need to sell supplements, pillows, or laser programs to build an 800-visit/week practice.

Do you really need to “gun up,” or is that just opportunism wrapped in panic?

'Clean this mess up': FMCSA chief's mission with CDLs, ELDs, chameleon carriers, more

In this week's edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast, catch the address delivered by, and Q&A with, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration chief Derek Barrs at the annual transportation symposium of the Specialized Carriers and Rigging Association, held last week in Birmingham, Alabama. Barrs touches on quite a lot, including the last-week-introduced Dalilah Law that might cement the FMCSA's preferred approach to limiting non-domiciled CDLs for non-citizens but that also casts a wide net on CDL recertifications: https://overdriveonline.com/15818235 His talk came the morning of the very day, Feb. 26, that petitioners challenging that non-domiciled final rule filed a formal request for a stay of the March 16 effective date, pending court review. While Barrs didn't note the new filing or the past court action against the prior rule version, he cast the agency's moves on CDL qualifications as fundamentally necessary. "We are taking steps from our non-domiciled CDL process to make sure that we strengthen that so that when we issue that, we're not issuing to someone who has not been truly vetted," Barrs said, "and we're not giving driver's licenses to individuals who are only supposed to be in this country for two years but we're allowing them to have CDLs for eight or nine years. That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life" -- a reference to evidence uncovered by federal auditors in a variety of states of legal presence and CDL term mismatches. After the applause died down, Barrs added, "That is a one-size-fits-all." That's not how the likes of owner-operator Jorge Rivera Lujan and his fellow litigants see it, however. Their challenge to the FMCSA's non-domiciled CDL final rule noted quite a different dynamic in FMCSA's safety justification for its rule, which would invalidate Rivera's CDL eligibility. A non-domiciled CDL holder for many years now, owner-operator Rivera, unlike many more recent arrivals to the country, has lived virtually his entire life in the U.S. after his undocumented parents brought him to California. He enjoys the protections of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA program, as listeners heard with our talk with Rivera a few weeks back: https://overdriveonline.com/15816105 He and fellow litigants asked the court to stay the rule pending review, generally arguing the agency paints the situation of non-domiciled CDL holders today with too broad a brush, Rivera a principal example. Hear much more from Barrs about the agency's perspective in the podcast, likewise potential upcoming rulemakings around electronic-logging-device and training-provider certification, "chameleon carrier" enforcement and more.

Who has the best shot at winning the Republican primary? And can any of them actually beat Kaptur in the general election?

How the late Jesse Jackson flip-flopped on abortion; Picture leaked of Hillary Clinton in Epstein file inquiry; Islamic State's ‘new phase' in Syria as U.S. military withdraws

The WorldView in 5 Minutes

It's Friday, February 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Islamic State's ‘new phase' in Syria as U.S. military withdraws Within the last week, the Islamic State terror group has launched an unusual series of attacks in Syria, part of what it calls a “new phase of operations” against the 11-month-old Syrian government, reports International Christian Concern. Simultaneously, the United States is actively withdrawing from bases in the area. Fighting between Syrian government forces and U.S.-allied Kurdish forces has weakened the resistance faced by the Islamic State.  The terrorist group has been relatively inactive in and around Syria since its territorial defeat in 2019, instead shifting its focus to Africa. Syrian President Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa was previously a member of the Islamic State and is an avowed jihadist. While he's made bold public statements about his interest in peace and tolerance, forces associated with his government have repeatedly committed or allowed mass tragedies to take place. CNN: No clear Democratic presidential frontrunner CNN data analyst Harry Enten revealed that two years away from the 2028 Democratic presidential primary season, the party's prospects look dim, reports The Western Journal. Listen. ENTEN: “This is just a downright clown car at this point on the Democratic side. I mean, just take a look here: Top choices for the 2028 Dem. pres. nominee. You have a leader, but it's not really a clear leader. It's within the margin of error. You have [Gavin] Newsom at 19%, then you have former Vice President Kamala Harris at 18% -- quite a weak number for her, given that, of course, she was the nominee the last time around. Pete Buttigieg, who, of course, has run before: 13%.  [Rep.] Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [of New York] at 12%. “This is just a total clown car. It is a total mess. There is no clear front runner at this particular point on the Democratic side. This is very unusual for the Democratic side to not have a clear front runner. “At this point in 2020, when there was no incumbent, it was Joe Biden who was there, Hillary Clinton in both ‘08 and ‘16 and Al Gore in both 2000 and 2004 at this point were at least at 25%.” Picture leaked of Hillary Clinton in Epstein file inquiry Chaos erupted inside Hillary Clinton's Jeffrey Epstein deposition on Thursday after a Republican lawmaker took a photograph of her during the private session, reports the Daily Mail.  Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of Colorado snapped a picture of Hillary at the deposition, then leaked it to conservative influencer Benny Johnson who offered his thoughts. JOHNSON: “Lauren Bobert sent me this photo and told me I could publish it just to show everyone that Hillary Clinton is testifying. It's not a big deal. This is what Hillary Clinton looks like. But her entire team lost their minds over this and started screeching about this. There's nothing wrong with posting this photo. The Clintons themselves are the ones who demanded that there be media inside of the room. They wanted this all be live streamed on TV.  So, what's wrong with this? They're just looking for an excuse to get out of this testimony. That's what's actually going on.” Hillary's lawyers asked that the proceedings be halted after the photograph began circulating on social media. Johnson spoke to Hillary's motive and claimed she had already lied in a press statement she released ahead of her testimony. JOHNSON: “She's already lied, by the way. She said that she didn't know Jeffrey Epstein, but that's not true. Not only did her husband, of course, have Jeffrey Epstein at the White House a million times, fly on his plane a million times, but Jeffrey Epstein's own emails show that he knew her multiple times. “In Jeffrey Epstein's emails, he talks about what Hillary Clinton looks like up close. He talks about meetings with Hillary Clinton. All these people are emailing Jeffrey Epstein saying, ‘Hey, man, we know that you know Hillary Clinton. Can you get me a meeting with her?' So, this seems like an obvious lie. And this is what they're trying to distract from because I posted a photo?” The former secretary of state was deposed at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center near the Clintons' home in Westchester County, New York, while Bill Clinton will testify today.  Indiana: Christian adoptive families & agencies can affirm Biblical ethic On Wednesday, Indiana Republican Governor Mike Braun signed HB 1389, a bill that ensures families and Christian adoption and foster care groups that want to provide loving homes for kids are not pushed out because of their religious or moral beliefs, reports Alliance Defending Freedom. Greg Chafuen, Senior Counsel for the Christian legal rights group, said, “Every child deserves a loving home that can provide them stability and opportunities to grow. The sad reality is that the government in some states has discriminated against people of faith, allowing vulnerable children to suffer. Thankfully, Indiana has taken critical steps to prioritize the well-being of kids.” The anti-God forces reject the truth of Genesis 2:24 which says, “A man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” How the late Jesse Jackson flip-flopped on abortion And finally, Rev. Jesse Jackson, who met his Creator on February 17th at the age of 84, was a civil rights activist and two-time presidential candidate in 1984 and 1988. Before he sold out to the abortion lobby in his aspiration to be Commander-in-Chief, LifeNews columnist Raimundo Rojas explained that Jackson “spoke with rare moral clarity about the child in the womb.” In a March 22,1973 interview, just two months after Roe v. Wade, Jackson told Jet magazine, “Abortion is genocide. Anything growing is living. … If you got the thrill to set the baby in motion, and you don't have the will to protect it, you're dishonest.” That same year Jackson said, "Abortion is too nice a word for something cold, like murder," according to the New York Times. In a column he wrote for National Right to Life News in January 1977, Jackson compared abortion to the old defenses of slavery. He warned that “the name has changed, but the game remains the same” when society strips the baby of protection. He spoke of new life with reverence, insisting, “It takes three to make a baby: a man, a woman, and the Holy Spirit.” Then ambition met party power. As Jesse Jackson moved toward a presidential run inside a Democratic Party that increasingly demanded loyalty to abortion, his public stance began to soften. By 1984, he described himself as “for freedom of choice, not pro-abortion,” and said that while he held a pro-life view, he did not want to “force” it on others through law. By 1988, he argued that “it is not right to impose private, religious and moral positions on public policy,”  according to the Washington Post. Raimundo Rojas of LifeNews concluded, “The man who once called abortion genocide now treated his convictions as a private matter. Nothing in science or reason justified that turn. What changed was the political cost of speaking on behalf of the child. “His life holds a lesson for every believer and every political leader. You cannot keep your deepest convictions in one box and your public positions in another. Do not trade moral clarity for political convenience. Do not let party loyalty silence your conscience.” Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, February 27th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

What happens when politics tries to fill a God-sized space? We open with a clear challenge: America's founding claim that rights come from a Creator, not the state, sets a higher bar than any law can reach. From there, we follow the fault lines where faith, policy, and media narratives collide—and why it matters for voters who care about integrity as much as outcomes.We break down the Texas Senate shake-up and the viral Colbert segment that never aired on broadcast TV. Spoiler: it wasn't censorship; it was the equal time rule for over-the-air networks, and moving online changed the calculus. The bigger story is how scripture gets pulled into campaigns. We press on the risks of proof-texting the Bible to justify policy, and why teachers, pastors-in-training, and public figures face stricter accountability when they lean on theology to win arguments.Closer to home, New Mexico's HB 99 puts a real dent in malpractice chaos with clear caps and “one incident, one occurrence,” making it possible for doctors to get insured and stay in practice. Meanwhile, SB 17's broad gun restrictions may be too sweeping to survive court scrutiny—so sweeping that even some gun-control allies are wary of the precedent it could set. On the economic front, average tax refunds are up, and that could nudge public mood even if prices still sting. Fresh polling shows Republicans leading on national security and immigration, Democrats ahead on healthcare and Social Security, and the economy nearly tied—evidence that persuasion still matters.We widen the lens to foreign policy pressure points—negotiations with Iran, and the high-stakes gambits around Venezuela and Cuba—then come back to human cost at the border with a searing account from Tom Homan about rescuing a trafficked 14-year-old. Voter integrity gets a pragmatic take from Kevin O'Leary: prove citizenship, use modern tech, end the recurring doubts. And a preventable avalanche tragedy in the Sierra shows what happens when risk signals are ignored, even as forecasts scream danger. We close with a nod to reliability (hello, Toyota and Subaru) and a simple, powerful throwback ad that reminds us politics once ran on neighbors helping neighbors.If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with a friend who loves straight talk as much as you do.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D
