15. Trump's Security Strategy: Homeland Defense Lacks Global Clarity. John Yoo praises the strategy's focus on homeland defense and the Western Hemisphere, reviving a corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. However, he criticizes the failure to explicitly name China as an adversary or define clear goals for defending allies in Asia and Europe against great power rivals. 1770 FIVE VIEWS OF NY ENTRANCEC

America's new National Security Strategy reflects a fundamental change in U.S. policy. It prioritizes America maintaining its preeminence in the Western Hemisphere, while avoiding military competition with China as well as European conflicts. At the same time the White House has taken pen to paper on its new policy, military pressure on Venezuela is ramping up as the Trump administration sanctions oil tankers in the region. This week on Talking Geopolitics, GPF Chairman George Friedman joins host Christian Smith to discuss these escalations and what it all has to do with Cuba.

PREVIEW Guest: Professor John Yoo Summary: Professor Yoo supports a national security strategy that prioritizes the Western Hemisphere and homeland defense over conflicts in Europe or the Middle East. He argues that US leadership has overlooked vital economic ties with South America, Mexico, and Canada, and must return to these foundational security principles. 1876 BOLIVAR AT CARACAS

America's strategic focus is shifting back to its own neighborhood. In this episode of STRAT with retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer, we examine how U.S. policy in the Western Hemisphere is evolving into what many call “Monroe Doctrine 2.0.” Drawing on history, current events, and hard geopolitical realities, the discussion explores renewed American assertiveness toward Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, and Venezuela. The episode traces the origins of U.S. hemispheric dominance, the legal and political legacy of past territorial ambitions, and how those precedents collide with today's post-colonial world. It also assesses mounting military pressure near Venezuela, the risks of escalation, and the humanitarian consequences of regional conflict. With China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba all shaping the strategic environment, the United States faces difficult choices between action and restraint. This conversation highlights the dangers of unintended consequences and asks whether renewed hemispheric engagement can succeed where recent overseas nation-building efforts have failed.Takeaways:The Monroe Doctrine remains central to U.S. strategic thinking“Monroe 2.0” reflects renewed hemispheric assertivenessGreenland has long been considered strategically valuable to the U.S.Annexation rhetoric carries serious diplomatic consequencesPanama Canal treaties reshaped American power projectionVenezuela poses military, political, and humanitarian risksEscalation could destabilize the entire region through refugee flowsGreat-power competition heightens stakes in the Western Hemisphere#STRATPodcast #HalKempfer #MutualBroadcastingSystem #StrategicRiskAnalysis #MonroeDoctrine #WesternHemisphere #USForeignPolicy #Geopolitics #LatinAmerica #Venezuela #PanamaCanal #Greenland #ChinaRussiaIran #MilitaryStrategy #NationalSecurity #GlobalStability #PowerPolitics #UnintendedConsequences #HemisphericSecurity #ForeignAffairs

英语美文-“冬至”的故事冬至马上就要来啦，作为24节气中十分重要的一个节气。它不仅是自然节律的重要节点，标志着季节与日照的重大转折，更承载着深厚的文化底蕴与民族情感，自古便有“冬至大如年”的说法。如何用英文讲“冬至”的故事呢？今天卡卡老师带你学习。New Words：solstice /ˈsɒlstɪs/：n. 至日；冬至或夏至solar /ˈsəʊlə(r)/：adj. 太阳的；与太阳有关的Tropic /ˈtrɒpɪk/n. 回归线Capricorn /ˈkæprɪkɔːn/：n. 南回归线Hemisphere /ˈhemɪsfɪə(r)/：n. 半球attach /əˈtætʃ/：v. 重视；附上；系上eminent /ˈemɪnənt/：adj. 杰出的；著名的；卓越的fuel /ˈfjuːəl/：n. 燃料；v. 给……提供燃料；刺激frostbite /ˈfrɒstbaɪt/：n. 冻伤；冻疮；v. 遭受冻伤wonton /ˈwɒntɒn/：n. 馄饨The winter solstice, also known as the Winter Festival, is one of the 24 solar terms in China, which falls on December 22nd, or one day before or after it.冬至，又称冬节，是中国二十四节气之一，时间在12月22日前后（即12月22日、21日或23日）。On the winter solstice, the sun is directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, which means the day in the Northern Hemisphere is the shortest day and the night longest.冬至当天，太阳直射南回归线，这意味着北半球的白昼最短、黑夜最长。Since this day marks a major change in climate, the ancient people attach great importance to the winter solstice, viewing it as significant as the Spring Festival由于这一天标志着气候的重大变化，古人非常重视冬至，人们将其视为与春节同等重要的节日。In the north, it is said that Zhang Zhongjing, an eminent traditional Chinese doctor, made dumplings whose shape looks like ears for fuel to eat in order to prevent people from frostbite on ears.在北方地区，据说中国古代著名医学家张仲景制作了形似耳朵的饺子，让人们食用以抵御寒冷、防止耳朵冻伤。That's why people in northern China today tend to eat dumplings or wonton on the winter solstice.这就是如今中国北方人在冬至这天往往会吃饺子或馄饨的原因。In southern China, however, people prefer sweet dumplings, rice balls and long noodles to express their good wishes.而在中国南方，人们则更偏爱吃汤圆、元宵和长寿面，以此寄托美好的祝愿。更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu002送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines

The U.S. has been pursuing a solution to the war in Ukraine and recently highlighted those efforts as part of its new national security strategy. Heather Conley, former deputy assistant secretary of state for European affairs during the George W. Bush administration, and Dan Caldwell, an advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, join Nick Schifrin for two perspectives on that strategy.

This should be BREAKING NEWS across Canadian news media, but I haven't seen it reported with any urgency. Last week US President Donald Trump dropped a 33-page manifesto stating the White House's strategic plan to take complete economic control of the western hemisphere, including Canada and its minerals and resources. I am not being hyperbolic.Trump's team released the ‘National Security Strategy of the United States of America' dated November 2025, in which the regime seeks to “discourage member nations from trade and dealing with other member nations”. Alarms should be ringing throughout the halls of Canadian Parliament, and I hope Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Canadian news media responds to these economic threats with the seriousness it requires.Tune into Episode 295 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times!This episode was recorded on December 7, 2025.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work!

In this critical national security briefing, Dr. Jerome Corsi is joined by Lt. Col. (Ret.) Tony Shaffer, former U.S. Army intelligence officer, Newsmax contributor, and national security expert, to expose why a deep-water port in Chile has become a major strategic flashpoint in the escalating U.S.–China global power struggle.China is moving aggressively to secure control over a strategically placed Pacific port in South America, cutting shipping time to Asia by over two weeks and giving Beijing direct access to rare earth minerals, lithium, agriculture, and energy resources. Dr. Corsi and Tony Shaffer warn this move is not commercial — it is geopolitical warfare disguised as trade.

The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere (U Nebraska Press, 2021) is a reclaimed history of the deep past of Indigenous people in North and South America during the Paleolithic. Paulette F. C. Steeves mines evidence from archaeology sites and Paleolithic environments, landscapes, and mammalian and human migrations to make the case that people have been in the Western Hemisphere not only just prior to Clovis sites (10,200 years ago) but for more than 60,000 years, and likely more than 100,000 years. Steeves discusses the political history of American anthropology to focus on why pre-Clovis sites have been dismissed by the field for nearly a century. She explores supporting evidence from genetics and linguistic anthropology regarding First Peoples and time frames of early migrations. Additionally, she highlights the work and struggles faced by a small yet vibrant group of American and European archaeologists who have excavated and reported on numerous pre-Clovis archaeology sites. In this first book on Paleolithic archaeology of the Americas written from an Indigenous perspective, The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere includes Indigenous oral traditions, archaeological evidence, and a critical and decolonizing discussion of the development of archaeology in the Americas.

Your brain is constantly switching between two modes of knowing: the left hemisphere's precision and prediction, and the right hemisphere's intuition and imagination. Between them lies the tender space where narrative forms — and where regulation becomes possible.In this episode, we explore how these two worlds create your ongoing “story of self,” and how that story becomes the map your nervous system uses to determine safety, danger, overwhelm, or possibility. You'll discover why old narratives feel so sticky, why neurodivergent minds process story so intensely, and how awareness creates the tiny space where freedom begins.Through vivid metaphors, grounded neuroscience, and a powerful guided practice, you'll learn to step into the witness — the part of you that can see the story without becoming it. And from that place, you can shift the state, shift the narrative, and shift your next move in the world.This is narrative neurobiology in action — and it changes everything.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

“Those guys are parents to 2 babies…and we're fighting over which baby is cuter…”   With SIDE 2 of our PUPPETS VS JUSTICE HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATH MATCH, things are a bit trickier, because the math doesn't sync up perfectly track for track. But not to worry, because we worked out all the math to try and keep things as “Even Steven” as possible.   “You go to the peak of your ability…that's what Justice was…it was their Hemispheres…”   As we noted previously on the SIDE 1 episode, PUPPETS represents the end of the Cliff Burton era, and JUSTICE represents the beginning of the Jason Newsted era. On SIDE 2, we got deeper into the weeds, particularly with regard to the lyrical subject matter, the style and structure of the songs, and the personal impact and perspective of the instrumentals. We're not saying that this was a complete blowout, and we're not saying that the outcome was predictable by any means, but what we ARE saying is that the final verdict was actually a bit more shocking than we originally anticipated.   “What are they saying, dude?”   Stick around until the very end of the episode to discover the power of “frontmasking” after you JOIN US for the nail-biting conclusion to our PUPPETS VS JUSTICE HEAD-TO-HEAD DEATH MATCH as we take on SIDE 2.

U.S. officials are moving to deputize state and local law enforcement partners for counter-drone activities ahead of the 2026 World Cup in an attempt to address a gap in legal authorities. While certain federal officials have been given the authority to counter unmanned aircraft that pose a credible threat to specified locations, that same authority has not yet been extended by Congress to state and local officials. So, as U.S. cities look to enhance the security of their skies ahead of the World Cup matches they're slated to host, the federal government is moving to train and deputize law enforcement in those areas so they, too, can participate in counter-drone efforts. Details of those plans were shared at an event last week on drone mitigation co-hosted by the White House Task Force on the FIFA World Cup, Commercial Drone Alliance, and DroneResponders. former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, who represents the 11 U.S. cities hosting World Cup matches on behalf of Hogan Lovells, told reporters: “There are some technical issues about who has the capacity to do counter-drone technology — who can operate that equipment.” Working with the FBI, he said, the White House is requiring officials to be trained, and “in effect, they become deputized, they become federal agents for this limited purpose.” While Coleman said it “would be cleaner” and easier to do it via legislation, he told reporters “the public should understand that we have the capacity to ensure that the folks who need to operate the equipment will be able to do it.” Through a recently launched FBI training program known as the National Counter-UAS Training Center, state and local law enforcement officers will be educated and then granted authority by the Department of Justice for counter-drone work. That schoolhouse located in Alabama was ordered under President Donald Trump's executive order on drone mitigation and graduated its first class in recent weeks. Days after deploying America's newest and largest aircraft carrier to the Caribbean to target what the Trump administration alleges are drug-trafficking boats from Venezuela, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unveiled a large-scale military and surveillance operation in the region that will commence later this month. “Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people. The Western Hemisphere is America's neighborhood — and we will protect it,” Hegseth wrote in a social media post last Thursday night. Venezuela launched a major military mobilization campaign this week in response to the U.S.' unusual surge of weapons and Navy assets to its Southern Command area of responsibility. Last Tuesday, Hegseth deployed America's most advanced aircraft carrier — the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) — and its strike group to Southcom, following an order from President Donald Trump. Tension has risen between Trump and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro this year, continuing to escalate in recent months. The U.S. has conducted multiple deadly strikes in the region Southcom covers since early September against vessels Hegseth has accused online of smuggling drugs from Venezuela.

“I had to watch it 3 or 4 times to finally get there…”   Ahhh, the 80's. A time when people could actually afford to live, back when Taco Bell was both super cheap and equally delicious, horror movies were genuinely scary and often boasted incredibly “special” special effects, and terrified parents everywhere were completely “freaking the motherfrickin' frick out” over heavy metal and the ensuing “Satanic Panic” that followed. (Remember, we're talking about the 80's here…)   “I kinda feel like Satan probably listens to Air Supply nonstop…or Gino Vanelli…”   Not to worry though, because Tipper Gore was on the case, going out of her way to ensure that the future prosperity of heavy metal would be secure forever with the PMRC seal of approval (PARENTAL ADVISORY – EXPLICIT CONTENT) plastered on the cover of everything that would be deemed essential listening.   Thanks to the diligent efforts and painstaking research of Tipper Gore and her Parents Music Resource Center, the PMRC lovingly crafted “The Filthy Fifteen” for American parents to ensure that their children would only be exposed to the finest audio artistry the heavy metal genre (and somehow, also Satan) had to offer.  One of the bands included on that fateful list were the founders of black metal, VENOM (ironically, rated “O” … for “Obviously” …as in “Obviously, your kids should be listening to this!”).    Hailing from probably the fanciest, most upper crust sounding city in all of England, Newcastle upon Tyne's 3-piece of evil VENOM came blasting out of the gates of hell with what would become the foundation for the black metal genre that would begin its ascent into heavy metal culture around the same time as thrash metal in the early 80's, with a sound combining the rawness of Motorhead, the darkness of Sabbath, and the speed of thrash with an imagery reminiscent of KISS if they were actually satanists.    If Black Sabbath are ground zero for the formation of heavy metal as we know it, then VENOM is no doubt the Black Sabbath of the black metal genre. With a dark, detached creepiness that sounds like something recorded in an underground mausoleum, VENOM are the originators of extreme metal and were out in front, scaring the hell out of parents everywhere and delighting young and impressionable metalheads the world over.   Happy Halloween everyone!!! It's time to celebrate spooky season the way we did back in the 80's, by going through your kids trick-or-treat plunder and picking out all of that “good candy”. Prepare yourself for the latest outtake from The Angry Matt Podcast regarding the abolition of Daylight Savings Time, discover why “fist bumps and fisting are basically the same thing”, learn what “post mortis” actually means, and JOIN US for an “exploratory learning journey” as we go INSIDE THE METAL and review THE 80's output of black metal pioneers VENOM.

Tara breaks down what she calls America's “civil war,” spanning from deporting illegal immigrants to dismantling the international smuggling networks fueling the crisis. Highlighting 2.1 million removals and the surge of 175,000 ICE applicants for 10,000 positions, she emphasizes Americans' willingness to fight for their country. The episode also exposes how fentanyl and xylazine precursors flow from Shanghai through Venezuela and Colombia to devastate U.S. communities — and how Trump's administration is taking a multi-layered, hemispheric approach to fight it, including carrier strike groups, satellite surveillance, and targeting traffickers as terrorists. Tara connects global crime, Chinese interference, and Democratic policies to the deadly drug trade impacting American lives.

Tara dives into the sweeping U.S. strategy under Trump, tackling criminal smuggling networks, mass deportations, and drug trafficking from China through Venezuela and Colombia. She breaks down shocking DHS numbers, ICE's surge in applications, and the elite law enforcement response. The episode also examines looming U.S. military action in Venezuela, Lindsey Graham's warnings about Maduro, and opposition support from Venezuelan citizens. Tara exposes Democratic complicity, including illegal immigrant access to Medicaid, SNAP benefits, and financial mismanagement, while connecting the crisis to broader national security and fiscal instability.

On this landmark 200th episode, Andrew and returning guest Dakota Jones (Voices of Wrestling) are diving into hall of fame season. Yes, this is the time of year when people discuss and debate the candidates for the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame, but Andrew and Dakota are focusing on a different (though just as noteworthy) institution: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Class of 2025 was announced months ago, but the induction ceremony is just a few weeks away, so there's no better time to celebrate the group of music luminaries entering the hall: Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, Outkast, Soundgarden, The White Stripes, Salt-N-Pepa, Warren Zevon, Carol Kaye, Nicky Hopkins, Thom Bell, and Lenny Waronker.

Welcome to the PowerHouse Feng Shui Podcast! I'm your host, Patricia, and today we're diving into one of the questions I get asked all the time — is Feng Shui different in the Southern Hemisphere? You'll learn why north is always north (no matter where you live), why your toilet flushing in the opposite direction has nothing to do with energy flow, and how classical Feng Shui remains universal around the world. I'll also share why the compass is just one piece of the puzzle — and how true Feng Shui, like acupuncture for your home, goes so much deeper. So if you've ever wondered whether your location changes the magic of Feng Shui, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to start creating more harmony, flow, and joy in your space — wherever you are on the planet.   Key Takeaways:  When starting out, focus on the visible, surface-level Feng Shui like decluttering, enhancing specific life areas, and creating balance — rather than stressing over exact degrees. No matter where you live — Feng Shui harmonizes your space to support joy, abundance, and flow. Changes you make in your environment can spark powerful shifts in your mindset, emotions, and results — wherever you are in the world.   Resources: Feng Shui Mini Course or Feng Shui 101 - https://love.powerhousefengshui.com/feng-shui-101 Feng Shui Checklist - https://www.powerhousefengshui.com/feng-shui-checklist-1   Connect with Patricia Lohan: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/powerhousefengshui/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@PatriciaLohan Website - https://patricialohan.com/ Send us an email: miracles@patricialohan.com

Jeff Bezos' Vision for Orbital Data Centers: Jeff Bezos has proposed a revolutionary concept of building large-scale data centers in Earth's orbit within the next 10 to 20 years. This ambitious idea aims to leverage continuous solar power and extreme cold temperatures in space to optimize computing efficiency. However, the technical and economic challenges associated with such a venture are immense, with potential costs reaching into the tens of billions.The Rarity of Technological Civilizations: New research suggests that technological civilizations in our galaxy may be exceedingly rare, with the nearest one potentially located 33,000 light years away. Scientists emphasize the delicate balance of geological and atmospheric conditions necessary for intelligent life to thrive, raising questions about our unique existence in the universe.Darkening of the Northern Hemisphere: A concerning study reveals that the Northern Hemisphere is gradually becoming darker, absorbing more solar energy than the Southern Hemisphere. This trend, driven by factors like melting sea ice and reduced aerosol levels, could disrupt global weather patterns and intensify climate change, underscoring the intricate balance of Earth's climate system.Astonishing Growth of a Richie Planet: Observations of the rogue planet CHA 11077626 have shown it pulling in gas and dust at an unprecedented rate of 6 billion tons per second. This behavior blurs the lines between planets and stars, prompting new discussions about the formation of free-floating celestial bodies and their classification in the cosmos.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Ralph shares insights from surveying remote coastlines and documenting the virus's impact – over 600,000 wild birds and 55,000 marine mammals affected, with elephant seal populations experiencing 95% pup mortality in some colonies. Learn how viral mutations enabled the jump to marine mammals, the ecological importance of Antarctica's scavenging skuas, and the challenges of conducting disease surveillance in one of Earth's most remote regions while monitoring the virus's continued eastward spread toward Australia and New Zealand. LinksRalph's academic profile: https://whc.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/people/ralph-vanstreelsWe'd love to hear from you ... share your thoughts, feedback and ideas.

"Oh my God!" wasn't just Joey Styles's famous catchphrase in ECW, it's also what many wrestling fans exclaim when something wild happens like a crazy spot or a surprise appearance. On this episode, Andrew is joined by first-time guest and actual pastor Josh to play songs with the word God (or Gods) in the title. They don't have to be religious songs, just the word will do. Artists played include Queens of the Stone Age, Ida Maria, Monsters of Folk, Coldplay, Beach Boys, Def Leppard, John Denver, and many more. Despite a nightmarish amount of scheduling and technical issues that went into recording this episode, it's still a lot of fun, so give it a listen!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrewAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Send us a textI could NEVER forget my Southern Hemisphere friends (I see you and love you, Australia!) Reposting just for you :)It's the Spring Equinox! For the Southern Hemisphere, brighter days are on the horizon. It makes us realize that sometimes, it's our time to shine (literally!), and sometimes, it isn't. Can we celebrate others and know that it's just not our time right now, but still trust that we are on the right path? Manifesting is about speaking it out loud – and writing it down, of course – and then putting in the work, and in due time, we can watch our dreams come true. But sometimes it's really hard to keep plugging along, right? What can you do today to work towards manifesting your dreams?Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social.

Send us a textAs we in the Northern Hemisphere (sorry, Australian friends!) reach the Autumnal Equinox, we can use it as a time to reflect on our own summer abundance. We may not be tending to crops, but we have each been tending to and nurturing other aspects of our lives. Each of us is growing and changing, and each of us is doing so in our own way. This change of season is a good time for us to look at our family system to see how our interconnectedness has changed and how our communication needs to adapt. Thank you for listening and being part of this community!

One of the ways that wrestlers and musicians are alike is that they are not set in stone. Just like a wrestler is often prone to changing their gimmick, a musician is often prone to changing their sound. On this episode, Andrew is joined again by Jeremy Sexton (Voices of Wrestling) to look at some instances of bands and artists changing things up with their music. Artists played include Led Zeppelin, Nas, Bee Gees, Black Eyed Peas, Ministry, Metallica, Rush, John Mayer Trio, and many more. If you ever wanted to hear what Neil Young sounded like with a vocoder, then this is the episode for you!Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrewSportofProWrestling.comAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
