This week on New World Next Week: the Epstein headcount keeps rising; Uncle Sam is doxxing ICE dissidents; and Obama previews Disclosure Day.

   It finally happened and I couldn't be happier.  The US Women's Olympic Hockey Team reeled me in to an Olympics I was pouting over because of all the anti Trump coverage from a giant corporate media machine that doesn't hate you enough.  These women are the best and through a fluke, had their backs to the wall against Canada playing for the gold.  But these "Free Bird" rocking, bad ass, flag waving chicks saved the day in dramatic overtime fashion and did what we would all do.  The wore the metals, put on some Lynyrd Skynyrd and drank champagne into the night. God Bless America!   It had been decades since an American figure skater won gold and that ended as well when Alysa Liu dazzled with pure California style and American swagger.  Her story is one NBC Sports doesn't want you to know as China has tried to pay her millions to compete for them.  Her dad was born Chinese and escaped the oppressive regime for America many, many years ago and we watched a true immigration success story play out right before our eyes.     Royals Hall of Famer Bo Jackson shares a really fun story about a really hot day game at Kauffman Stadium.  Gracie Hunt is headed to Turning Point USA with Erica Kirk this summer.    In DC, it's time for a voter ID standing filibuster in the Senate.  We'll give you a history lesson about the longest filibuster on record.  Here's a hint... it has to do with racist democrats.   Trump opens the Board of Peace in DC and shares a couple man crush stories on JD Vance and Marco Rubio.  Kash Patel talks to much on Dan Bongino's podcast.  A television executive says Savanah Guthrie is never going back to the Today Show.  And a famous comedian could be the reason Trump is president today in our Final Final.  

https://slasrpodcast.com/      SLASRPodcast@gmail.com  Welcome to Episode 223 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue podcast. This week we're joined by Dave, who's back with us and may or may not finally decide whether he's going public with his last name. We've got some follow-up on Great Britain versus the United Kingdom, more coyote talk as mating season ramps up and how not to get yourself in trouble, a little animal-track trivia now that winter actually showed up, and some positive feedback on Stomp's return. We've got listener shoutouts, including some love for Dave's PSAs, a funny comment about Mike's snow sculpture on Tecumseh, updates on our Alzheimer's 48 Peaks plans — including a potential Mount Adams hike — and a look at what's been happening around New Hampshire with rescues on Camel's Hump, avalanche incidents on Mount Washington, a disturbing number of snowmobile press releases, and new technology being used in long-term missing person cases as we mark the anniversary of Maura Murray's disappearance. Nationally, we'll talk about a K-9 finding a missing child during a bomb cyclone, fatal ski accidents out west and in Europe, and why this winter seems determined to remind people that mountains don't care about your Instagram plans. Plus, we've got gear talk, a dad joke, a music minute featuring Great Grandpa, recent hikes, future plans, and — in our main segment — Dave brings us the wild and surprisingly dark legend of the Silver Virgin Madonna, a New England treasure story that sits right at the intersection of frontier warfare, folklore, and wishful thinking.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 130), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Flattery (Chanufa) from Orchos Tzaddikim, detailing the profound dangers of associating with or validating the wicked (resha'im), even without direct praise.Key teachings:Befriending the wicked is flattery — Associating with evildoers implies acceptance (“I'm okay with you as you are”) and gives them validation. It's itself an act of chanufa.Five major dangers of such association: You love someone who hates the Creator—contradicting loyalty to Hashem.You absorb their negative ways (inevitable influence).Others see your friendship and think “if he's friends with him, it's okay for me too”—spreading the rot.Even if they don't imitate, they become accustomed to seeing forbidden things.You fail to protest/reprimand when able—making you accountable for their sins (mitzvas tochacha).Reprimand only when accepted — If they won't listen, don't speak (avoids lashon hara and escalation). Instead, pray for their improvement.Personal story — A woman was deeply hurt by another's nasty comment in class. Rabbi advised praying for the offender's insight rather than confrontation. A week later, she returned transformed—now loving the person and praying for their growth, turning pain into an opportunity for elevation.Becoming “big” (gadol) — True greatness means expanding beyond self: responsibility for spouse, children, community, Klal Yisrael. Start small (self-improvement), then influence outward. Rabbi Saul Salanter's journey: couldn't change the world → country → town → neighborhood → family → only self.Practical application — Don't compare or compete; maximize your unique gifts. Patience and kindness (e.g., not honking in traffic) reflect self-respect and prevent spiritual “bankruptcy.” Small acts of restraint build character and influence others positively.The rabbi urges: begin at home, expand responsibility outward, and live with self-awareness—true greatness is selflessness and influence through example, not ego._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 20, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this episode I am once again joined by Alex W, long term practitioner of Zen, Pragmatic Dharma, and Western Occultism. Alex takes a deep dive into the world of magick to compare esoteric systems from around the world including Western Occultism, Tibetan Buddhism, Indian Tantric and Goddess systems, Santeria and more. Alex gives a history of the development of Western Occultism, exploring the Egyptian mysteries, Neoplatonism, Catholic mysticism, Kabbalah, Shi'ism, Wicca, the Golden Dawn, Thelema, Chaos Magic and beyond. Alex discusses esoteric techniques such spellcraft, opening the psychic senses, working with entities, mantra, yantra, alchemy, astrology, and divination. He considers the tension between natural talent and practiced skill, reviews strategies for protection against curses and entity oppression, and recounts his own path as a practitioner of the occult. … Full episode: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep349-deep-dive-into-magick-alex-w Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

Departing from Puerto Rico with grand plans to establish a new colony, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León set out on his ill-fated second expedition to Florida on February 20th, 1521.  Ponce de León's reputation as a conquistador preceded him, with tales of his brutal conquests in Hispaniola preceding his quest for new lands. Despite being ousted from power by his rival Diego Columbus, Ponce de León received a charter from King Ferdinand to explore and govern distant territories. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal why de León named his ‘discovery' "Florida"; explain why the ‘tree of death' played a pivotal part in his downfall; and discover where those ‘Fountain of Youth' rumours came from…  Further Reading:  • ‘Ponce de Leon: Florida & Fountain of Youth' (HISTORY, 2009): https://www.history.com/topics/exploration/juan-ponce-de-leon • ‘Ponce De Leon Never Searched for the Fountain of Youth' (Smithsonian Magazine, 2013): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/ponce-de-leon-never-searched-for-the-fountain-of-youth-72629888/ ‘Juan Ponce de León: Meet the Spanish explorer who discovered Florida' (10 Tampa Bay, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-BjLdHerRk We'll be back on Monday - unless you join CLUB RETROSPECTORS, where we give you ad-free listening AND a full-length Sunday episode every week!Plus, weekly bonus content, unlock over 70 bonus bits, and support our independent podcast.Join now via Apple Podcasts or Patreon.

The “phoning it in conspiracy” is more of an observation. Have you noticed that media, entertainment, electronics, conspiracies, and food, etc. — and the commentary of and on such things — have gotten increasingly lazy? Short videos that grab attention or clickbait content is largely driven by algorithms and advertising but who authorizes it? We do. The public is responsible. We do not demand quality or context. In fact, we demand the opposite. Most just phone it in now, because it's easier. Have you also noticed that a plethora of once fringe topics have become popular? But those interested in such things for longer than “recently” are noticing that the stories have been tweaked just a little bit as to destroy the reality they contained. Reality is a good word to use here, too, because while the general public is embracing conspiracies thinking they've broken the programming of a dream state, they are actually slipping further into a coma. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

From the Irish to the Italians, America has received waves of immigrants from nearly every inhabited continent at some point and just about all of them faced significant discrimination upon their arrival. With current discourse now focused on Somali, Muslim, and Indian migrants, an uncomfortable question arises: Were these the same conversations people had about our ancestors? Professor of History at George Washington University Tyler Anbinder joins Will to go over America's storied relationship with immigration, explaining why Irish-Americans faced so much discrimination, and how they gradually came to be accepted. Plus, Will and The Crew weigh in on the discussion with Professor Anbinder and share their own thoughts on whether today's immigration debate reflects the past.

A Feast before Sacrifice… that's Divine Order. Even in the streets, even in the Scriptures, GOD shows you there's a season to gather before there's a season to give up. Fat Tuesday ain't just about food,.. it's about awareness. It's the last taste before the Fast, the final celebration before discipline sets in. In the Bible, there was always provision before the wilderness. Joseph stored grain before the famine. JESUS ate with HIS disciples before the cross. See, GOD will let you sit at the table, but HE's preparing you for Elevation through Elimination. The feast is gratitude. The sacrifice is Growth.A Feast before Sacrifice | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 181) Trappin Tuesdays

Many years ago, we did an episode about the legends of the Balkans. We thought it would be interesting to go across the Black Sea and explore the legends of the Caucasus. The Caucasus is a region of Eastern Europe and Western Asia that includes the countries of Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Southern Russia. This region is steeped in folklore, mythology, and legends and that isn't surprising because the history here is one of struggle, war, conquest and the precarious victory of independence. Paganism gave way to Christianization and cultural beliefs mixed. Join us as we explore the legends of the Caucasus! This Month in History features the sinking of the USS Maine.

Coretta Scott King fought to end the Vietnam War because of its outsized impact on the Black community. Matthew L.

Is success in business simply about having the right idea, raising the perfect amount of money, or having the right connections? According to our guest today, David Senra, it's none of those. It's about obsession. David Senra has read 400+ biographies of history's greatest entrepreneurs, studying how they actually built their companies. On his podcast Founders, he distills the lives of iconic builders into actionable frameworks. He also hosts in-depth conversations with living founders on his new show David Senra — from Daniel Ek to Michael Dell to Todd Graves — extracting the mental models you only earn after decades in the arena. In this wide-ranging conversation, we break down: • Why history's greatest entrepreneurs hire for spikes, not well-rounded resumes • Why durability is a first-rate virtue — and most businesses die of indigestion, not starvation • How Steve Jobs worked barefoot at Atari — and why Nolan Bushnell kept him anyway • Why George Lucas bet unapologetically on himself • How Sam Zell tortured himself into greatness — and why he chose freedom over money • Why Michael Dell says he works “all the days” • The founder archetypes framework — and why founder-problem fit beats founder-market fit • Why Todd Graves hasn't changed his menu in 30 years — and built a $20B chicken empire • How Rick Rubin became a reducer, not a producer — and why ruthless editing creates timeless work • Why belief comes before ability — non-negotiable for builders If you want to think like Jobs, Bezos, Zell, or Munger, this episode will permanently change how you approach focus, entrepreneurship, and building something that lasts.

One of the best things about podcasting on all things medieval is the opportunity to learn about lesser-known places – especially when those places are full of examples of long-ago thinking on cross-cultural contact, integration, and immigration. So, today, we're taking a trip to central Europe to learn all about Silesia. This week, Danièle speaks with Sébastien Rossignol about how this region navigated a mix of cultures and languages, its proactive immigration policies, and its own changing identity.This podcast is made possible by the generous support of listeners like you!

Dr. Feelgood: The Shocking Story of the Doctor Who May Have Changed History by Treating and Drugging JFK, Marilyn, ElvisDoctor Max Jacobson, whom the Secret Service under President John F. Kennedy code-named “Dr. Feelgood,” developed a unique “energy formula” that altered the paths of some of the twentieth century's most iconic figures, including President and Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis. JFK received his first injection (a special mix of “vitamins and hormones,” according to Jacobson) just before his first debate with Vice President Richard Nixon. The shot into JFK's throat not only cured his laryngitis, but also diminished the pain in his back, allowed him to stand up straighter, and invigorated the tired candidate. Kennedy demolished Nixon in that first debate and turned a tide of skepticism about Kennedy into an audience that appreciated his energy and crispness. What JFK didn't know then was that the injections were actually powerful doses of a combination of highly addictive liquid methamphetamine and steroids.Author and researcher Rick Lertzman and New York Times bestselling author Bill Birnes reveal heretofore unpublished material about the mysterious Dr. Feelgood. Through well-researched prose and interviews with celebrities including George Clooney, Jerry Lewis, Yogi Berra, and Sid Caesar, the authors reveal Jacobson's vast influence on events such as the assassination of JFK, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Kennedy-Khrushchev Vienna Summit, the murder of Marilyn Monroe, the filming of the C. B. DeMille classic The Ten Commandments, and the work of many of the great artists of that era. Jacobson destroyed the lives of several famous patients in the entertainment industry and accidentally killed his own wife, Nina, with an overdose of his formula.https://amzn.to/4tIu6KjBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Does a talented person have a duty to serve others? What do leading citizens really need to live well, freely, impactfully—even greatly? How do we, parents and educators, order the educational goods? "When I think of Thomas More's life, writings, and example, I think: here are the materials we need to answer those questions." So says Dr. Stephen Smith, professor at Hillsdale College and co-director for the Center for Thomas More Studies. St. Thomas More not only provided a robust theory of education and duty in his writings, but also a praxis of that education by his heroic actions at the Tower of London in 1535. Dr. Smith joins us this week to discuss how More's life and education can be a pattern for our one-day leading citizens.

Born Chloe Ardelia Wofford in Lorain, Ohio, Toni Morrison rose from a working-class Midwestern childhood to become one of the most influential literary voices of the 20th century. From her early days studying at Howard and Cornell to her trailblazing career as an editor at Random House—where she championed African American writers—Toni's path was as powerful as the stories she told. We dive into the emotional depth and historical weight of novels like Beloved, The Bluest Eye, and Song of Solomon, examining how Toni centered Afrian American interior lives with lyricism, honesty, and unflinching truth. In 1993, she became the first African American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, cementing her place in global literary history.

Wanda Ford is a basketball standout. She is the first woman in NCAA history to amass 1500 basketball rebounds and she set the NCAA career record with 1,887 rebounds. She had 102 career double-doubles. Wanda was also one of the leading scorers in the game. She set the NCAA single-season scoring record with 919 points in 1986 (now eighth all time). Her average of 30.6 points per game in 1986 was the second highest at that time (now fifth all time). She also scored 54 points in a February 22, 1986 game against Missouri State, which was the second highest single-game scoring total up to that time (now tied for seventh all time). In this episode Wanda tells stories of her basketball in the early days of girls sports, what drew her to Drake University, her education there, traveling and living all over the place through basketball, and her late-night (until 2am!) basketball program. Wanda was a Women's Sports Foundation Player of the Year, a Kodak All-American, a three time Women's Basketball Yearbook All-America team selection, a two time MVP player of the year, a four-time first-team all-conference choice, ten times a league player of the week, a two time finalist for the Wade Trophy, and was named Coach of the Year in youth basketball by the City of Parma, where she is now a Phys Ed teacher. After graduating from Drake in 1986, Wanda played professional basketball for 16 years in Italy, Brazil, Sweden and Israel. She was part of seven league championship teams, and won such personal awards as Most Valuable Player and Newcomer of the Year, both in Israel. Wanda's number has been retired at both East Tech High School and Drake University. She was inducted into the Sports Legends of Cleveland Public Schools Senate League in 2022 for her high school career at East Tech High School.

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates and reviews the iOS app WikiTrip, a location-based audio guide that pulls curated information from Wikipedia and reads it aloud while the listener is moving, such as during a road trip, bus ride, or walk. He explains how the app works, including its reliance on location services and an active cellular connection, and notes that it is designed primarily for use on the go rather than while stationary. He walks through the main interface, describes how the app discovers nearby points of interest, and discusses key settings such as voice selection, minimum distance traveled, and minimum time between articles. He also highlights the History feature, which stores previously played items and allows the user to open the associated Wikipedia pages, and explains that the app avoids repeating content unless the history is cleared. Finally, he shares examples of points of interest the app surfaced during a trip to Branson, Missouri, illustrating the type of information WikiTrip can provide during travel.Host: Thomas DomvilleLength: 0:20:47App InformationName: WikiTrip – Travel Audio GuideDeveloper: Björn SchefzykCategory: TravelPlatforms: iOSPrice: FreeApp Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wikitrip-travel-audio-guide/id1438931523Timestamps00:05 Intro00:10 Host introduction ...TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Thomas: Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. In this podcast, I'm going to do a walkthrough and a review of an iOS app called Wikitrip. W-I-K-I-T-R-I-P. So this past weekend, Mrs. Mouse and I went on a road trip, and we were heading down to southern Missouri into the Ozark Mountains. And specific, we spent some time in Branson, Missouri itself. And while we were doing that, and while we were on the road trip, somebody on AppleVis asked, what can you do during a road trip? What, you know, obviously we can listen to books and things, but are there any apps for entertainment for things that you can do in the car? Well, there's so much you can do, but Wikitrip is one of the AppleVis contributors out there. So thank you out there for suggesting Wikitrip. What is Wikitrip? Wikitrip is an app that you can take on the road with you. So it's not just for the road or a car ride. It can be if you're on a bus. or you're walking, so essentially any time that you're moving. And what it will do, based on the location and X number of seconds, it's going to pull from the Wikipedia on your location something interesting. So some pretty top picks that other people found that the Wikipedia information is interesting. It's going to read to you. So it's got a built-in open AI voices. There's about a dozen voices you can pick from. And it's going to give you just about any information you ever would want to know. So I'm going to show you an example of what it sounds like when I'm just sitting here in the podcast room. And then I'm…

Chips from a Calcutta Workshop: Comparative Religion in Nineteenth Century India (Cambridge University Press, 2025) explores the development and nature of comparative religion in nineteenth-century India. It focuses on the ideas and intellectual currents behind a range of thinkers who explored comparative religion in India, drawing on a variety of inspirations from Indian religions. Rather than emanate out of a European Christian set of politics as in the Western world, comparative religion emerged out of religious reform movements, including the Brāhmo Samaj in Bengal and the Arya Samaj in the Punjab. With chapters on Rammohan Roy, Debendranath Tagore, Keshab Chandra Sen, and Swami Vivekananda, the book includes a re-evaluation of familiar figures alongside lesser-known thinkers within an intellectual history of modern Indian comparative religion.

Send a textLove isn't built in the big romantic moments. It's built in the small, ordinary ones most people overlook. In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, the hosts unpack what love really looks like beyond attraction, especially after Valentine's Day. They share how meaningful relationships are shaped by daily effort, communication, and intentional connection rather than grand gestures.The conversation explores both the classic five love languages and a newer, expanded model that includes emotional support, intellectual connection, financial security, and practical teamwork. Listeners are reminded that love often shows up through everyday acts like helping with responsibilities, listening deeply, or creating shared experiences. The episode also weaves in personal stories about family bonds, parenting, and partnership, reinforcing that love is rarely glamorous. It is gritty, imperfect, and requires patience. A powerful takeaway is that the “little things” consistently matter more than the big things. When people intentionally show appreciation and presence in everyday life, relationships grow stronger and more resilient.Ultimately, this episode encourages listeners to look for simple ways to demonstrate love daily because those small actions create lasting connections.Resources mentioned:https://www.instagram.com/reels/DUynO0uEqbM/https://www.instagram.com/p/DUy29yTgX7F/?igsh=YnNtNnhxYXVlZ2dlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuuWEhT9P3AEpisode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(0:55) Post-Valentine reflections and Unblinded event discussion(3:47) Olympic headlines and trending stories segment(8:31) Why love matters more than anything(8:49) History and meaning of Valentine's Day(10:37) The five traditional love languages explained(12:18) The seven modern love language framework(15:10) Communication and intellectual connection in relationships(16:32) Physical affection beyond intimacy(17:31) Practical partnership and shared responsibilities(18:32) Everyday moments that build deep bonds(19:34) Love is gritty, imperfect, and intentional(20:24) Trust and respect as relationship pillars(22:04) Got Grit story: resilience through tragedy(23:55) Life is short, so love deeply(24:08) Song of the week and gratitude message(25:24) Outro Support the showFollow us: Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/ More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

With the recent rise in protests against the Islamic Republic, Tabby's conversation – taking us from Tehran to LA – feels more relevant than ever, and offers a window into a personal and oftentimes emotional world full of memory and meaning.Learn more about The Jewish Education Project at jewishedproject.orgThis episode was produced by Miranda Lapides and Rina Cohen Schwarz.
