Today we talk gold's false start and the housing market fall as we focus on growing risks and uncertainty in the markets. The Fed takes a more hawkish stance on inflation, signaling that interest rates could stay higher for longer while offering little guidance on future policy. We cover the impact of the recent U.S.-Canada tariffs, rising Treasury yields, the $40 trillion national debt, housing-market weakness, rising foreclosures, and the potential risks facing commercial real estate and regional banks. We also examine the current going ons of gold, silver, and Bitcoin as recent gains could be a false start. As always, emphasize caution, diversification, and maintain a long-term perspective rather than reacting to short-term market moves. We discuss...  The Fed's hawkish stance on inflation is raising expectations for higher interest rates and a longer period of restrictive monetary policy. The escalating U.S.-Canada tariff dispute is creating additional economic uncertainty and increasing concerns about inflation and slower growth. Treasury yields and government debt remain major concerns as the U.S. national debt surpasses $40 trillion and interest costs continue to climb. The housing market is showing signs of weakness, including elevated inventory, declining new-home sales, rising foreclosures, and worsening affordability. Higher mortgage rates and insurance costs are making it increasingly difficult for homeowners to access liquidity from their real estate holdings. Commercial real estate faces significant refinancing risks as more than $1 trillion in debt is scheduled to mature while borrowing costs remain elevated. Weakening employment data and downward revisions to job growth suggest the labor market may be slowing more than headline figures indicate. Gold, silver, and Bitcoin have performed strongly recently, but the hosts believe investors should remain cautious about chasing the rally. Historical data shows that midterm election years have frequently experienced significant market drawdowns after August. Market timing requires making two decisions, when to sell and when to buy back, and both are difficult to get right. Global markets have produced widely different returns, reinforcing the potential benefits of looking beyond the S&P 500 for diversification. Hot money has been rotating between Bitcoin, precious metals, industrials, energy, and semiconductors throughout the year rather than staying concentrated in one asset.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the full show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/golds-false-start-847 

Genuine spiritual revival is universally accessible to any group of believers who fully surrender to God, regardless of their location or resources. It identifies intense, persistent prayer and a deep reverence for the Bible as the essential prerequisites for experiencing the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Historical examples from the Moravian movement, the Wesleyan revival, and various missionary fields illustrate how fervent intercession and scriptural fidelity have consistently preceded powerful spiritual awakenings. The text warns against relying on human organization or ecclesiastical efficiency, asserting that these are merely idols that hinder divine intervention. Ultimately, the message calls for a return to absolute dependence on God through prayer and His Word to bring about global evangelization.

Joe responds to the interesting discourse surrounding showcasing of St. Agatha’s relics (her skull) recently. He demonstrates that relics are not only NOT pagan, but are both Scripturally and historically Christian. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I wanted to talk about the weird and maybe even creepy side of Catholicism, relics. Now, a brief video clip from the Festival of Saint Agatha, which the bishop displays the skull of Saint Agatha and then places it in a gold reliquary, creeped out a lot of non-Catholics recently, and even some Cath...

In this episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, we crack the Beale Ciphers—a mystery that has obsessed treasure hunters and elite codebreakers for over 140 years. In 1822, a charismatic adventurer named Thomas Jefferson Beale left a locked iron box with Lynchburg innkeeper Robert Morriss before vanishing into the frontier. Decades later, the box yielded three sheets of dense, numerical codes. One cipher was cracked, revealing a $60 million hoard of gold, silver, and jewels buried in Bedford County, Virginia. But as we explore in this deep-dive, Cipher No. 2's success was merely the irresistible hook to a trap. We dissect the historical narrative, masonic allegories, mathematical proofs, and forensic linguistics that expose the legend as a brilliant, lucrative 19th-century hoax.GET THE BOOK FROM AMAZON HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FROM AN INDIE BOOK STORE HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EMAIL: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Elton would like to apologize to the following people, places and things: Honest people, cheese, cryptographers, Jean Pival, Virginia, every person, place and thing that I mispronounced.

The inventory ($60M gold/silver/jewels) promises wealth, but the mystery deepens when Beale never returns to claim his prize.Act I: Anatomy of a Frontier Adventure: Contextualizing the 1817–1822 landscape (Erie Canal/Cholera). The legend of thirty gentlemen mining in Colorado, and their secret, two-part burial of four tons of bullion in Bedford County, Virginia.Act II: The 1885 Pamphlet: Examining the 23-page booklet sold by James B. Ward for 50 cents during a post-war economic depression. We identify strong Masonic allegories (subterranean vaults, sacred numbers) that mirror lodge rituals, suggesting the story functions as an allegory rather than historical fact.Act III: Cryptographic Anatomy: How Cipher No. 2 was decoded using a strangely modified transcript of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. We highlight the "smoking gun" transcription errors and forced deletions (like dropping entire phrases) that indicate the cipher was reverse-engineered rather than naturally encrypted.Act IV: The Heavyweights: Why military codebreakers like William F. Friedman failed. Evidence includes the 1-in-a-trillion probability of alphabetical sequences found by Jim Gillogly's supercomputer analysis of Cipher No. 1, and the failure of Ciphers 1 and 3 to meet Benford's Law—proving they lack the natural distribution of real data and were likely fabricated by a human.Act V: Linguistics & Anachronisms: Dr. Jean Pival's 1982 stylometric analysis confirms Beale and Ward share identical linguistic signatures (e.g., misuse of "myself"). Historical anachronisms—words like "stampeding" (unknown in 1822) and conflicting land records for the Washington Hotel—prove the narrative is a fabrication.Act VI: A Century of Madness: The destructive legacy of searching for the gold, including Clayton Hart's 1898 dynamite excavations and Mel Fisher's 1989 ground-penetrating radar searches in Montvale.Outro: The psychological genius of the hoax. By providing one working cipher (Cipher No. 2) as an undeniable proof-of-concept, the author created the perfect trap to sell pamphlets to a public hungry for wealth and mystery.

We'll discuss collections and exhibits, and we'll talk about how museums offer community engagement and provide context for what is happening in our region today.

How do you become an architect, who do you design for, and with what degree of freedom?To close Season 7 of Com d'Archi, Anne-Charlotte Depondt welcomes sociologist Jean-Louis Violeau and architectural historian Éléonore Marantz. Two kindred perspectives, rich in fruitful nuances, explore what shapes the profession, its teaching, and its place in society.Historical depth, insightful sociological analysis, and an intimate knowledge of the architectural world give this conversation a rare richness. Knowledge is shared with spontaneity, humor, and freedom of expression.From their personal journeys to the challenges of research and transmission, the conversation leads us to May 1968, a moment of rupture and redefinition. Their book Mai 68. Parole à l'architecture, which they co-edited with Caroline Maniaque, brings together the voices of those who took part in this transformation. What remains of it today in architecture schools, access to commissions, and the figure of the architect?A lively and candid conversation in which collective ambitions meet the constraints of the profession. Looking ahead, one shared conviction emerges: faced with the challenges of our time, we must continue to question the conditions in which architecture is conceived and open up new possibilities.

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Seth Gruber, founder of the White Rose Resistance, to explore the deeper spiritual and cultural issues behind abortion, pornography, sexual addiction, and the degradation of human dignity. Drawing from Scripture's concept of the “high places,” Seth explains how idolatry, sexual perversion, and child sacrifice are connected to the cultural battles facing the church today. Together, they examine how the abortion and pornography industries can reduce human life and sexuality to commodities, why the church must be willing to confront these issues rather than remain silent, and how spiritual compromise contributes to cultural decay. Seth also shares his personal journey from being a homeschooled teenager in Los Angeles who faced censorship for wanting to discuss abortion to becoming a pro-life activist, filmmaker, and advocate committed to challenging the church to live out its biblical convictions. This conversation offers a sobering look at the spiritual battles shaping modern culture and a call for Christians to respond with courage, truth, and conviction.    SATHIYA'S RESOURCES: Free Recovery Book (The Last Relapse) Join the brotherhood (DeepClean Inner Circle) Live Training To Quit Porn For Good   SETH'S RESOURCES: The White Rose Resistance The Last Stand book   Timestamps: 00:02 Introduction to the episode's focus: freedom from pornography, abortion, human rights, and cultural sexuality. Host introduces the guest, Seth Gruber, setting the tone for a deep, challenging conversation. 02:39 Seth's personal story begins; his exposure to graphic first-trimester abortion images and the impact this had on his understanding of abortion beyond common perceptions. 07:58 Discussion on the church's failing role in confronting evil such as pornography and abortion, emphasizing how many Christians have forgotten their mission and sometimes unknowingly enable societal decay. 09:56 Explanation of the “high places” from the Old Testament where idolatry, sexual ritual abuse, and child sacrifice occurred, paralleled with modern cultural evils. 12:46 The legacy of “good kings” in Israel who failed to remove the high places, leaving a metaphor for today's church tolerating sexual immorality and abortion. 15:11 Linking contemporary evils: pornography, abortion, sex trafficking, and the commodification of children through reproductive technologies, highlighting systemic cultural problems. 19:23 Theological reflection on divine judgment connected to baby killing and sexual perversion, citing Psalm 106 and God's severe response to such societal sins. 24:20 Historical turning point in 1973 with Roe v. Wade legalizing abortion nationwide, alongside the removal of obscenity laws enabling pornography; Seth ties these to a spiritual “demonic trinity” of Moloch, Baal, and Ashtoreth. 25:04 Presentation of J.D. Unwin's research, showing how civilizations that codify total sexual freedom collapse within a century, framing modern Western culture's trajectory as potentially doomed. 50:07 Practical exhortation encouraging men to battle personal sin first—especially pornography addiction—and then join cultural resistance movements. Seth stresses accountability, spiritual battle, and community activism as necessary steps.

by Gerald R PatnodeIn 1889, Archibald Stirling is a man of wealth, privilege, and prestige. As a respected Baltimore criminal defense attorney and partner in a renowned law firm, his life is steeped in tradition and order. But when he accepts a single desperate plea for help; everything he believes will be challenged,One morning, the familiar routine in the Stirling household is shattered. Outside, the shouts of an angry mob rise as four Black men in chains are paraded through the streets by federal marshals. Among them is Henry Jones, the son of the Stirling family's loyal housemaid, Elsie Tolson who has been accused of leading a violent uprising on Navassa Island, where Black laborers fought back against their brutal white overseers. Henry now faces certain execution. With tears in her eyes and fear in her voice, Elsie begs Archibald to save her son.This real event, fictionalized through The Stirling Defense, is a gripping exploration of justice, sacrifice, and moral courage. Through one man's fall from privilege into the crucible of social change. The novel reveals the extraordinary cost of standing for what is right and the lasting impact of one man's fight against an unjust system.Determined to seek justice, Archibald takes Henry's case, setting off a chain of devastating consequences that include expulsion from his partnership, divorce from his wife, his young son brutally assaulted, and their home is torched in an arson attack. Even with several attempts at Archibald's life, he refuses to back down.As the trial unfolds, Archibald exposes the horrors of Navassa Island, where Black laborers were starved, beaten, and worked to death. His defense is not just for Henry but for an entire cla

Historical novelist Robert Harris writes about the Roman Empire - and says the parallels of disillusionment with modern day politics are ‘impossible' to ignore.  In this episode of Ways to Change the World, he tells Krishnan Guru-Murthy that Donald Trump's vanity projects and strong man tactics remind him of Emperor Augustus, how the pressure to appease the masses is ‘crushing politicians into a form where it's impossible for them to operate' and why historians might look back and see the Brexit vote as ‘the first big crack' in British democracy.

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Learn more about OVTLYR: https://youtu.be/TUCbD5KovlcNew all-time highs can make traders nervous… but what if that's actually one of the strongest signals you can get? This conversation gets into why selling simply because the market feels “too high” can be a huge mistake, why trend traders want to ride strength instead of constantly looking for the next crash, and how data can help you stay on the right side of the move.There's a part in here that really hits. You don't need to predict where the market is going next. You need a plan for what you're going to do when the signals change. SPY and the Nasdaq are analyzed through buy and sell signals, moving averages, value zones, order blocks, and market conditions. The discussion also explains why new all-time highs can actually be bullish because there is no overhead resistance holding price back.The Plan ETF numbers are pretty wild too. Historical backtesting shows an average win of about 21.96% versus an average loss of 8.53%, with trades sometimes lasting 59, 72, 87, or even 105 days. The average trade duration is around 39 days, which makes the bigger lesson pretty simple: you don't need to constantly be trading. Sometimes the money is made by waiting for the signal, entering, and then leaving the position alone until the exit signal arrives.The Plan M testing gets even more interesting. More than 50 trades were forward tested while looking for potential upgrades, and the early results showed an average win of 7.22% against an average loss of just 1.99%. The discussion then digs into trading higher-volume stocks and finds a potentially significant difference in both win rate and average return. Stocks above 2 million shares of average volume showed a 52% win rate and roughly a 3% average return in the sample, compared with much weaker results among lower-volume stocks.And the new Sector Intelligence Map “waterfall” idea could be one of the most interesting parts. Instead of blindly buying the dip, the goal is to identify sectors and industries that are rotating upward from the bottom and getting stronger. Computer hardware and software applications are highlighted as areas to watch, while the upcoming upgrade is expected to make this rising and falling rotation much easier to see directly inside OVTLYR.✅ SPY, Nasdaq, QQQ, all-time highs, and trend analysis✅ Plan ETF backtesting, expectancy, trade duration, and waiting for signals✅ Plan M forward testing and higher-volume stock analysis✅ Half ATR stops, risk management, and cutting losses short✅ Sector Intelligence Map, sector rotation, and the new waterfall conceptIf you've ever looked at a market making new highs and immediately thought, “This can't keep going”… this one is worth watching. Sometimes the biggest mistake isn't buying too high. It's being so afraid of the next crash that you miss the trend that's already happening.Video Links:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK8sAiLPye4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwCdJkJ3lYESubscribe to OVTLYR for disciplined trading strategies that actually make sense.

 Ki Tavo | The Historical and Metaphysical Future, by Rav Eli Weber Why is the haftara for Ki Tavo so uniquely comforting? A look at divine light, historic redemption, and surprising echoes. Yeshayahu 60: 1-22 This shiur examines the haftara for Ki Tavo, Yeshayahu's "Kumi Ori" — the sixth of the seven Haftarot of Consolation. It highlights three themes: a metaphysical shift in which Hashem's own light replaces the sun and moon; a historic reversal in which hostile nations come to serve and admire Israel; and deliberate textual parallels between the haftara and the parasha's Tokhacha, closing with reflection on the redemption's timing ("b'ito" versus "achishena").

Whether recovering a lost history or charting a new land, scholars and explorers alike often hit at frontiers not only of place, but also knowledge. When the evidence only goes so far, what is the right way to advance? The answer is to make a conjecture: an educated guess that discourses on what is likely the case. Historical examples range from Italian humanists stealing manuscripts from monasteries and reconstructing classical languages, to Jesuit missionaries speculating about land bridges to the Americas, and even Renaissance magicians pioneering in alchemy and astrology. This collective practice is called “conjectural history,” and its roots go far back. But how far back? To answer that question, as we continue Season 6, I have as our guest, Professor Anthony Grafton. A former president of the American Historical Association, and the Emeritus Henry Putnam University Professor of History at Princeton University, Grafton is a scholar of early modern Europe and written history, a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books and London Review of Books, and the author of many books such as The Footnote (1997) and Magus (2023). Today, we will discuss his current project on “conjectural history.” We discuss the use of conjectural versus counterfactual history, its founders in Herodotus and Thucydides, and proponents like the explorer Jose de Acosta, S.J. and the scholar Lorenzo Valla. Also discussed are Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, the birth of modern science from renaissance magic, C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image, recent scholarship on premodern eyewitness testimony to the supernatural, the magician Henry Cornelius Agrippa, and the best lost spots of Princeton University.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Brendan Case to discuss his new book, Doubting Thomas (UND Press), which covers a host of debates between St. Thomas Aquinas and his Franciscan counterparts, especially St. Bonaventure. In this discussion, Dr. Case shares a few instances where he thinks Bonaventure got the better of Thomas. Moreover, he shares why these debates matter and how they might better help us understand the place of Thomas in modern theology.

Predictions about how AI will affect jobs tend to swing between dystopia and utopia. Dan Sullivan and Jeffrey Madoff share a grounded perspective on how AI is affecting work today, how entrepreneurs are experimenting with it, and why the best opportunities will still belong to those who take ownership of their skills, relationships, and future. Show Notes: When it comes to AI, we're still in the surprise phase, much like past moments when new technologies first appeared. Today's AI fears mirror the 1950s predictions that television would eliminate movies, which shows how extreme forecasts about new technology often miss how markets actually adapt. America has repeatedly adapted to major new technologies because its consumer base and appetite for innovation are so large. AI is creating a new level of visibility into a company's numbers, shifting entrepreneurs from monthly to weekly measurements so they can course-correct faster. Strategic Coach® members are still hiring humans in their companies, using AI to increase efficiency rather than replace people. Most entrepreneurs are using AI personally to think through ideas, research, write, and journal more effectively but haven't yet integrated it fully at the organizational level. Historical shifts show how technology reshapes work: in 1900, half of U.S. workers were in food production; today, it's a small fraction as new kinds of jobs have emerged. In today's world, individuals carry far more responsibility for planning their own future than previous generations did. Employers who don't actively look out for their people can't expect loyalty in return, especially in a marketplace where talented people have more choices than ever. Resources: Your Business Is A Theater Production: Your Back Stage Shouldn't Show On The Front Stage The History of Money: A Story of Humanity by David McWilliams  Learn more about Jeffrey Madoff Dan Sullivan and Strategic Coach®

This week, we move from Peter's confession of faith to the difficult reality of what following the Messiah actually means. Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and Rob Schwartz explore why Jesus tells Peter, “Get behind me, Satan”, how love and good intentions can become stumbling blocks, and what it means to lose our lives in order to find them.Questions for ReflectionThemes & ApplicationPeter's desire to protect Jesus comes from a place of love, yet it still puts him at odds with Jesus. When can our good intentions actually become stumbling blocks? How do we discern the difference between loving someone and trying to control the path they take?The episode interprets Jesus' command, “Get behind me, Satan,” as a call for Peter to get back into the proper position of a disciple: behind the teacher rather than out in front. What might it look like for us to “get back behind Jesus” when our own expectations, fears, or ambitions begin leading the way?Elizabeth suggests that Jesus' goal is much larger than producing individually humble or virtuous people: “The whole point is to create a new world and a new humanity.” How does that change the way we understand taking up the cross and following Jesus?Personal ReflectionPeter wants Jesus to conform to his own idea of what a Messiah should be. When have you wanted Jesus to want the same things you wanted? Has your understanding of what following Jesus means ever had to change?Jesus asks his followers to consider what they are willing to lose and what they believe is truly worth gaining. What are you most reluctant to let go of? Security? Status? Being right? Control? Approval? Comfort? Something else?The conversation suggests that spiritual maturity involves becoming more authentically ourselves rather than trying to perform an idealized version of holiness. Have you ever found yourself “performing” goodness, humility, faith, or spirituality? What might authentic discipleship look like instead?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsPeter notes that Jesus' language of losing oneself in order to find oneself has parallels in other religious traditions, while Jesus specifically adds “for my sake.” What makes Christian self-emptying different from simply denying or erasing ourselves?Bob Dylan's Gotta Serve Somebody becomes a shorthand for one of the passage's existential questions: Who or what ultimately directs your life? If everyone “serves” something, what are some of the gods our culture invites us to serve?The episode ends by acknowledging Christians around the world for whom persecution and the possibility of losing one's life are not metaphors. How should Christians who live with relative safety hear Jesus' command to “take up your cross” without trivializing the experiences of people facing literal violence or persecution?References & ResourcesVocabularySkandalon (σκάνδαλον) — A Greek word meaning a stumbling block, obstacle, or something that causes another to fall. Peter, previously named the “rock,” becomes an obstacle when he tries to redirect Jesus away from the way of the cross.Mimetic Desire — René Girard's theory that human beings often learn what to desire by observing and imitating the desires of others. The person we imitate can consequently become both our model and our rival.Kenosis — From the Greek for “emptying.” In Christian theology, it commonly describes Christ's self-emptying and self-giving way of being, and can also describe the spiritual practice of relinquishing ego, status, or control.Passion Prediction — Jesus' prediction of his coming suffering and death. Matthew 16:21 also includes the promise that he will be raised on the third day, making it simultaneously a prediction of resurrection.The Way of the Cross — The pattern of discipleship modeled by Jesus in which self-giving love, rather than domination or self-preservation, becomes the path toward true life.Pop CultureSpider-Man (2002)Bob Dylan “Gotta Serve Somebody"Historical & Geographical ContextCaesarea Philippi — The episode discusses its pagan religious history, Roman imperial associations, Herod, Philip, and the ruins surrounding Jesus and the disciples.Christian PersecutionOpen Doors World Watch List — Peter references statistics on Christians experiencing persecution and discrimination worldwide to remind listeners that “taking up the cross” is not merely metaphorical for many Christians.

  How will current issues or past discrimination against Mizrahi Israelis influence this election?

Can an atheist consistently investigate history without borrowing from the Christian worldview?In this Christian vs. atheist debate clip, Joel Settecase speaks with a lifelong atheist who describes himself as a reluctant believer. Their conversation begins with miracle claims, historical evidence, and early Christian testimony—but quickly moves to a deeper question: what makes historical reasoning possible in the first place?Historical inquiry depends on objective truth, reliable human reasoning, an orderly universe, consistent standards of evidence, and the expectation that the past can be meaningfully known. But can atheism account for those realities?The discussion explores mathematical realism, brute facts, the relationship between abstract laws and the concrete world, and whether logic and truth ultimately require a mind in which they are grounded.The atheist also raises a serious objection: Christianity asks us to trust events separated from us by nearly 2,000 years. Joel responds by addressing the Bible's manuscript tradition, textual criticism, and the remarkable historical attestation supporting the biblical text.This exchange gets beneath surface-level debates about individual pieces of evidence. The central issue is whether the atheist worldview can justify the very tools used to evaluate Christianity—or whether those tools already presuppose the truth of the Christian worldview.Go DeeperBecome the worldview leader your family and church need.

10 UNSOLVED Mysteries - Strange Mysteries Vol. 23 with Steve Stockton - Welcome, travelers, to another late-night stroll through the corridors of the unexplained. You've entered the Strange Mysteries gallery. In Volume #23, I'll be your guide as we examine the exhibits of history's most baffling and enduring enigmas. These are the cold cases that haunt the archives, the disappearances that leave only echoes, and the ciphers that laugh in the face of logic.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA 94-year-old cardinal walking into a Hong Kong courtroom might be the clearest sermon you'll hear all week. Cardinal Joseph Zen sits beside Jimmy Lai's wife as Lai, a 78-year-old Catholic and pro-democracy publisher, is sentenced to 20 years under Hong Kong's national security law. Then a reporter asks Pope Leo XIV about Lai, and the answer is chilling in its restraint: “I cannot comment on that.” We sit with the contrast, because it raises a hard question about what Catholic leadership looks like when a believer becomes a political prisoner.We connect that moment to the 2018 Vatican-China agreement on bishop appointments, a secretive Vatican-China deal that, in practice, appears to give Beijing leverage while Rome keeps a veto it never uses. We talk about what secrecy prevents: accountability, clarity for ordinary Catholics, and public advocacy for the underground Catholic Church in China as crosses come down, cameras go up, and clergy face detention or “re-education.” When the Vatican's ability to speak depends on keeping a partner happy, the people who pay first are often the ones already under pressure.We also look backward to look forward. Rome has tried “quiet treaties” with hostile regimes before, and history shows how quickly total-control governments break promises. We compare today's approach to earlier Vatican diplomacy, the failures of Ostpolitik, and the model of naming evil plainly, even when it comes at a cost. If you care about religious freedom, Catholic persecution, and the moral limits of diplomacy, this conversation is for you. Key Points from the Episode:• Jimmy Lai's 20-year sentence and Cardinal Joseph Zen's public witness  • Pope Leo XIV's response and what papal silence signals  • The 2018 Vatican-China agreement and why its secrecy matters  • Beijing's leverage over bishops and Rome's unused veto  • The underground Catholic Church in China under surveillance and coercion  • Historical parallel with the 1933 treaty and Pope Pius XI's 1937 warning  • Ostpolitik versus public truth-telling and John Paul II's example  • Named bishops detained or disappeared and the question of accountability  We have everything we discussed in this podcast as well as other great ways to work.  Links?

Evan Ellis analyzes key regional political and security developments in Latin America. Ellis discusses EcuadorianPresident Daniel Noboa's visit to China to secure security, trade, and economic assistance, and explains how historical visa-free policies turned Ecuador into a major transit corridor for Chinese migrants entering the US. He details Bolivia's ongoing political instability and the dangerous scandals involving Evo Morales. Ellis also covers Chile's border enforcement efforts, Colombia's return to aggressive military operations against cartels following a major earthquake, and the stalled democratic transitions in Venezuela and Nicaragua, where regimes rely on brutal repression and illicit economies to hold power.

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/46j36GM Host Blaine Carver interviews Brett Bonecutter about his article “Is Gold a Good Investment?” prompted by Rand Paul's Fort Knox visit and frequent client questions about gold. They outline why investors are drawn to gold—perceived capital preservation, durability/rarity, mistrust of fiat currency and debasement, de-dollarization, and crisis “shock absorber” appeal—while noting gold's short-term volatility. They discuss gold's valuation challenge as a non-productive asset with demand largely driven by its role as a proxy for money, and argue gold tracks M2 money supply more than CPI inflation (World Gold Council cites only 16% of gold price variation explained by CPI). Historical math shows gold can outperform in certain periods, but long-term equities vastly outpace it (e.g., $100 in 1928 to 2025: gold ~$21k vs S&P with reinvested dividends ~$1.16M). They conclude heavy gold allocations generally don't fit most goals due to opportunity cost, with only small allocations potentially tolerable. 00:00 Is Gold Worth It 00:58 Fort Knox Bond Story 03:45 Why Clients Ask 04:50 Gold Bug Intuitions 06:18 Capital Preservation Evidence 09:19 Durability Debasement De-Dollarization 12:12 Crisis Insurance Debate 14:24 Valuation Conundrum 19:02 Speculation And ETFs 22:53 M2 Versus Inflation 26:31 Just Do The Math 33:04 Volatility Correlation Costs 38:27 So Is Gold Good 44:53 Wrap Up And Outro Links mentioned in this episode: http://thoughtsonmoney.com http://thebahnsengroup.com

In this episode of 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben examines America’s $40 trillion debt milestone, the Congressional Budget Office’s projections for future borrowing, and the rising cost of servicing the national debt. They discuss debt-to-GDP ratios, annual federal deficits, interest payments approaching $1 trillion per year, and the broader debate over whether Washington’s spending habits are creating risks for future generations. The United States has officially crossed a historic threshold: $40 trillion in gross federal debt. According to figures discussed in this episode, the debt burden is now roughly comparable to the size of the entire U.S. economy, raising concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability and the growing cost of interest payments.The discussion focuses on how federal spending continues to outpace revenue, the rapid growth of annual deficits, and projections that debt held by the public could exceed previous post-World War II records in the years ahead. Topics Covered: America surpasses $40 trillion in gross federal debt Federal spending exceeds revenue by nearly $2 trillion annually Congressional Budget Office projections for debt-to-GDP growth Rising federal interest costs and their budget impact Historical comparisons to post-World War II debt levels The political debate over government spending and fiscal responsibility Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Did you know the Bible gives us a way to go to sleep?In this reflection on Psalm 4, John Ortberg explores what sleep can teach us about surrender, control, prayer, and trusting God.Drawing from Answering God, John points out a fascinating biblical rhythm: evening comes before morning.Genesis says, “There was evening, and there was morning.”Sabbath begins at sundown.Psalm 4 gives us an evening prayer before Psalm 5 gives us a morning prayer.Why?Because before we wake up, accomplish anything, solve anything, or even become conscious of the new day, God is already at work.Every night, sleep asks us to relinquish our grip on our work, our relationships, our problems, our thoughts, and our need for control.The world keeps turning.God remains awake.And we can rest.In this episode:Psalm 4 as an evening prayerWhy the biblical day begins at nightEugene Peterson on evening and morning prayerSleep as an act of surrenderWhy we struggle to relinquish control"Search your hearts and be silent"Historical "first sleep" and "second sleep"Reviewing your day with GodGratitude before bedPsalm 4:8 and sleeping in peaceLearning to trust God's providence while we sleepScriptures: Psalm 3:5 • Psalm 4 • Psalm 5 • Genesis 1 • Genesis 2:2–3#Psalm4 #JohnOrtberg #Sleep #Prayer #Psalms #EugenePeterson #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #TrustGod

Some teachers have reading corners. Some have quiet corners. One brave educator looked at her classroom and decided what these children really needed was a designated fart corner.And that's where today's funny podcast begins.The concept is simple: if a kid needs to let one rip, they walk over to a specific corner of the classroom, handle their business, spray a little air freshener and quietly return to their seat while supposedly “nobody pays attention.”Sure.Because elementary school children are famously discreet and would NEVER keep a running leaderboard of who visited the fart corner the most.The crew immediately identifies several flaws in this educational breakthrough, including the unfortunate student whose desk is closest to ground zero, the acoustical advantages of ripping one near a wall, and the absolute certainty that some confident kid will turn the fart corner into Madison Square Garden. Moon also relives an eighth-grade fart incident involving a plastic chair, Trisha and a level of emotional damage that apparently survived well into adulthood. The lesson? It's not the fart. It's the confidence behind the fart.Then, because apparently science had nothing more urgent to solve, the show dives into a massive flatulence study involving thousands of participants and hundreds of thousands of logged farts. Men versus women. Peak farting hours. Historical fart estimates. And yes, “anal tracking devices,” a phrase we sincerely hope never appears on the company expense report.Rafe even revisits his proposed radio game involving everyone recording their own farts so listeners can guess whose is whose. Management's continued refusal to greenlight this important broadcasting innovation remains baffling.Thankfully, St. Louis Blues broadcaster Chris Kerber joins the show to restore professionalism.That lasts approximately four seconds.Kerber weighs in on fart-corner logistics, airflow, acoustics and the important parental responsibility of teaching your children to laugh at flatulence. Then the conversation shifts to how Chris managed to get himself kicked out of a University of Louisville parents Facebook group.His crime?Suggesting that a college student who wanted to know whether anyone downstairs was watching a football game could perhaps… walk downstairs and find out.Apparently this was too radical for the safe space.That launches a full discussion about helicopter parenting, college move-in season and parents asking Facebook whether their 18-year-old should wear a robe or a towel back from the dorm shower. Chris and Moon agree on a revolutionary parenting strategy: sometimes your adult child can figure stuff out.Rizz is preparing to take his 16-year-old to tour the University of Arkansas, so Kerber offers actual useful advice among the chaos: check out the dorms, investigate the dining options and pay attention to whether the campus simply feels right.The hockey talk continues with the newly unveiled St. Louis Blues promotional calendar, including the upcoming Rizz Show Night jacket, which might legitimately be one of the best giveaways the show has done. Kerber breaks down the limited nature of theme-night tickets, the upcoming shortened NHL preseason and the excitement building around the new season.Then listener emails take this funny podcast somewhere completely different.A former escort and sugar baby writes in after hearing the crew's previous conversations about dating for money and offers to answer their questions. Naturally, the room immediately generates approximately 700 of them. How much money? What was off-limits? Was sex always involved? How do repeat arrangements end? When do you tell a serious partner about that part of your past? Did you feel safe? Did you pay taxes?Rafe, meanwhile, wants to know whether there was a Groupon.Journalism.Another listener from Metro West Fire Protection District offers to help the crew with CPR training and car-seat installation, which somehow results in Rafe claiming he ordered a RealDoll to practice CPR. Lern immediately populates his imaginary house with Rhonda, Susan, Dolly and Reba, and now apparently Rafe hosts brunch for a collection of synthetic roommates.We're sorry too.Finally, the crew tackles a hypothetical: What if you could choose one food that your body would treat as perfectly healthy forever?Pasta enters the arena. Chocolate-chip cookies arrive, although Moon repeatedly describing his ideal cookie as “wet” and “sweaty” causes unnecessary suffering. Lern chooses cake. Rafe starts negotiating the definition of pasta. Donuts make a late push. Rizz eventually lands on pizza.The rules get debated harder than most federal legislation before the conversation arrives at the true battleground: National Potato Day.French fries? Tater tots? Hash browns? Sweet potatoes? Russets?And Rafe delivers perhaps the most important culinary observation of the episode:A tot is basically a hash-brown marshmallow.This funny podcast has fart science, college-parent chaos, Blues hockey, listener confessions, CPR, sweaty cookies and the opening shots of another Great Potato War.We never claimed this would make you smarter.We claimed it would make your commute weirder.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

From chocolate and sugar prices to energy markets and inflation, El Niño's impacts may soon reach far beyond the weather forecast. Our Latin America Agribusiness Analyst Julia Rizzo maps out where the pressure could emerge first.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Julia Rizzo, Latin America Agribusiness Analyst at Morgan Stanley. Today: how El Niño could move from the Pacific into commodity markets, grocery prices, and investor portfolios. It's Wednesday, August 19th, at 10am in Sao Paulo.You may not follow rainfall patterns in Brazil or cocoa-growing conditions in West Africa. But you immediately notice when chocolate, groceries, or electricity cost more. And you can connect the dots to El Niño -- a warming cycle in the Pacific Ocean that disrupts weather globally. It changes where rain falls and shapes the outlook for crops, power markets, transportation, and inflation. There is now a 95 percent chance of a very strong El Niño in the fourth quarter of 2026. It could end up being among the most powerful events in more than 75 years of recorded history. Timing and location matter greatly. Crop damage often depends on whether heat or heavy rain arrives during a narrow planting, flowering, or harvest window. The most direct effects are likely to appear first in commodities. Sugar is on the list of commodities most exposed to favorable price dynamics from weather conditions. Cocoa also looks tight. Grains are more complicated. Soybeans need evidence of a net South American production loss. Problems in northern Brazil may be offset by stronger crops in Argentina or Brazil south. Corn is even more dependent on timing. The key near-term catalyst remains U.S. weather and crops. What happens next matters well beyond agricultural markets. Food is the main channel through which El Niño reaches the broader economy, and the effect usually appears after a one-year lag. That makes inflation primarily a 2027 story. In Latin America, the largest incremental inflation risks are concentrated in Peru, Brazil, and Colombia, with most of the pressure arriving in 2027. That matters for central banks. Weather shocks can fade. So, policymakers often look through an initial rise in food prices. The greater concern is that higher food costs may begin to influence inflation expectations, wages, rents, or other prices across the economy. Colombia stands out as the clearest case where those second-round effects could complicate monetary policy. India and Indonesia also face meaningful economic exposure. Agriculture accounts for a large share of output and employment in these countries. India is especially sensitive. Agriculture represents about 18 percent of the GDP, 43 to 45 [percent] of jobs, while food makes up roughly 36 percent of the consumer price basket. Record food reserves may provide some protection, though a poor growing season could still weigh on rural incomes and keep food inflation elevated. The economic consequences will vary widely. Higher agricultural prices can support farmer income and benefit some parts of the food and agricultural supply chain. They can also raise costs for households, food producers, and businesses that depend on grains and sugar. Utilities may benefit in markets where hotter or drier conditions lift electricity prices, while heavy rainfall could disrupt transport routes and airports in those exposed regions. Historical asset-price signals are limited, so this is less of a broad macro trade than a detailed assessment of local exposure. Rainfall, crop timing, inventories, and the ability to pass higher costs on to consumers will determine where the pressure lands. El Niño may begin in the Pacific, but its market footprint can travel from cocoa farms in West Africa to a grocery aisle, a power grid, or a central bank meeting. Thanks for listening.

Padraic Scanlan — Multi-Part, Part One: Padraic Scanlan explores the deep-seated historical and economic causes of the Great Irish Famine, beginning with the haunting folk memory of Queen Victoria's visit to Skibbereen, a village that became an icon of social collapse and starvation. While the crisis was triggered by the failure of potato crops, Scanlan emphasizes that the vulnerability of the Irish population was manufactured through centuries of British conquest and colonial land management. By the nineteenth century, a tiny oligarchy owned the vast majority of Irish land, with 4,000 people controlling 80 percent of the island. The rural economy rested on a fragile three-legged stool consisting of the potato, the pig, and turf for fuel. The potato served as the glue of this system, allowing landlords to maintain a low-wage, capital-poor labor force that could survive on small, high-yield plots. The economic landscape was further constrained by the conacre system, short-term and expensive leases for tiny parcels of land that discouraged any improvements, as visible prosperity might prompt a rent increase. This precarious existence was justified by influential Victorian economists such as Thomas Malthus, who argued that famine was a dreadful resource of nature necessary to check population growth and compel the uncivilized poor to work. When the novel pathogen Phytophthora infestans arrived from the Americas in the early 1840s, it decimated the genetically uniform potato monocrop. The blight not only killed the growing tubers but also rotted stored supplies, leaving the two million people who relied exclusively on the potato with no buffer against catastrophe. (1)

Republicans won unified control in Washington, but they are walking straight into a brutal 2026 midterm election trap. Historical precedent, broken promises, economic anxiety, the Iran war, and the absence of an affirmative conservative agenda could cost the GOP its House majority. President Trump secured the border and Republicans preserved key tax cuts, but they have failed to enact durable reforms of the federal bureaucracy, restrain $7.4 trillion in federal outlays, or force decisive votes on election integrity. This episode explains why Republican voter apathy presents a greater threat than Democratic enthusiasm and what the GOP must accomplish before November. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why historical midterm trends and narrow House margins place the Republican majority at risk  How the Iran war, energy costs, and economic anxiety could weaken Republican turnout  Why firing a few dozen federal employees and holding hearings does nothing to stop the administrative state without permanent statutory reform.  How Republican neglect of deep-blue districts allows DSA candidates to expand their power, including in New York's 13th Congressional District. What the Reform, Restrain, Rebuild agenda and the actionable solutions from the New Contract with America offer voters beyond "Democrats are worse"  Read the New Contract with America at pasreport.com, share this episode, and demand that Republican leaders explain what they intend to accomplish before November.

"My father, behold, the enemy's ships came here. My cities were burned, and they did evil things in my country. Does not my father know that all my troops and chariots are in the land of Hatti, and all my ships are in the land of Lukka? The country is abandoned to itself. May my father know it: the seven ships of the enemy that came here inflicted much damage upon us."Around the year 1185 BCE, Ammurapi, the last king of the ancient city Ugarit, urged the king of nearby Alashiya to send help. His city, which had stood for thousands of years, was one of the great commercial capitals of the eastern Mediterranean. But help would never arrive. Ugarit fell and was never rebuilt. And it was not alone.Up and down the coastline, from Greece to Anatolia to the Levant, an entire interconnected world of Bronze Age superpowers essentially stopped existing within the span of a few decades. Cities that had thrived for centuries were reduced to ash. Writing systems disappeared so completely that entire regions went functionally illiterate for centuries. And at the center of almost every ancient account of what happened, you find the same phrase showing up in Egyptian temple walls and Syrian palace archives alike, describing a coalition of raiders.
