Dropping the atomic bombs on Japan during World War II was, arguably, the most controversial decision of the 20th century. The responsibility for that “decision” has logically fallen on US President Harry S. Truman. But in The Most Awful Responsibility: Truman and the Secret Struggle for Control of the Atomic Age (Harper, 2025), Alex Wellerstein argues that Truman's actual decision wasn't what everyone thinks it was. The conventional narrative is that American leaders had a choice: Invade Japan, which would have cost millions of Allied and Japanese lives, or instead, use the atom bomb in the hope of convincing Japan to surrender. Truman, the story goes, carefully weighed the pros and cons before deciding that the atomic bomb would be used against Japanese cities, as the lesser of two evils. But nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein argues that is not what happened. Not only did Truman not take part in the decision to use the bomb, but the one major decision that he did make was a very different one — one that he himself did not fully understand until after the atomic bomb was used. The weight of that decision, and that misunderstanding, became the major reason that atomic bombs have not been used again since World War II. Based on a close reading of the historical record, The Most Awful Responsibility shows that, despite his reputation as an ardent defender of the atomic bomb, Truman: Wanted to avoid the “murder” and “slaughter” of innocent civilians Believed that the atomic bomb should never be used again Hoped that nuclear weapons would be outlawed in his lifetime Wellerstein makes a startling case that Truman was possibly the most anti-nuclear American president of the twentieth century, but his ambitions were strongly constrained by the domestic and international politics of the postwar world and the early Cold War. This book is a must-read for all who want to truly understand not only why the bomb was dropped on Japan but also why it has not been used since. Dr. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of the US in the world who specializes in the fog of war. He is currently a DPAA Research Partner Fellow at the University of Southern Mississippi and a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network.

When life doesn't turn out the way you hoped, it can leave you feeling stuck — disappointed, bitter, or unsure how to move forward. A new year is supposed to feel fresh, but for a lot of us, the weight of what we didn't choose still comes with us. The loss. The hurt. The things that never went as planned. In this message, we explore an ancient story that feels surprisingly current — and discover how one simple decision can begin to change the direction of your life, even when your circumstances haven't changed yet. Whether you're full of faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between, this message is for anyone who wants more than just another year surviving.

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday! In this episode, Melissa Jones offers a reassuring, pressure-releasing message for parents navigating the emotional highs and lows of the holiday season. When expectations are high and routines are off, it's easy to feel like things should look a certain way—this pep talk is a reminder that real life (and real families) are beautifully imperfect.Melissa speaks candidly about why holiday moments don't always go as planned and why that doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. She normalizes emotional outbursts—especially in girls—explaining that they often happen when daughters feel safest. With warmth and clarity, she introduces the idea of “resetting the day” as a simple, powerful tool parents can use to move forward after tough moments, without guilt or shame.In this episode, you'll hear:Why perfection isn't the goal—especially during family gatheringsHow your daughters's big emotions can be a sign of safety and connectionA practical explanation of what it means to “reset the day”Encouragement to meet emotional moments with presence instead of pressureA gentle reminder that patience and connection matter more than getting it rightThis episode is an invitation to release unrealistic expectations and give yourself grace—especially during the holidays. Parenting isn't about flawless moments; it's about showing up again and again with love, even when things feel messy.If this message resonates, consider sharing it with another parent who could use a little encouragement today. You're not alone—and sometimes, a simple reset can change everything.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

Christmas is supposed to be a season of hope — a season of joy and gladness, when everyone seems to be celebrating — and yet, sometimes in our own hearts, there is darkness. The Lord wants to give each one of us hope, especially at Christmas, but it requires openness and trust. We must be open to Him entering our lives. We must listen to His word in Scripture. We must spend time in His presence. We must allow Him to speak to our hearts. And if we do that — if we invite Him into the brokenness, the hopelessness, the darkness within us — He can cast out that darkness and give us light.   Readings at this Mass: Is 7:10–14 | Rom 1:1–7 | Mt 1:18–24

The Everyday Bible Study | December 20 | We Had Hoped That He Was the One Who Was Going to Redeem Israel

When Christmas expectations fall apart, the ache can feel overwhelming—but Proverbs 13:12 (often paired with this theme) reminds us that deferred hopes don’t have to end in despair. This devotional explores how to navigate a Christmas that looks nothing like you imagined while staying rooted in hope, prayer, and meaningful connection. Whether a loved one can’t come home, financial strain reshapes your traditions, or grief is pulling at your heart, God meets you in the disappointment and offers strength for a new kind of holiday. Highlights How to process the grief of missing loved ones during Christmas The emotional weight of hope deferred—and God’s ability to redeem hard seasons Practical ways to create new traditions when the old ones are no longer possible The role of prayer when circumstances feel impossible Why staying connected—digitally or in person—still matters Simple ways to support others who are grieving or struggling this season A reminder that Christmas is ultimately about presence, not perfection Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season? Check out our Holiday Gift Guide—from beautifully illustrated Bibles and devotionals to novels, greeting cards, and picture books, there’s something for everyone on your list. Wrap up stories for loved ones, tuck a book into your own nightstand, and join us in celebrating the wonder of giving this Christmas! Full Transcript Below: When Christmas Doesn’t Look the Way You HopedBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:16 I'm not coming home for Christmas. These words hit hard when my husband and I realized my son would not be home for Christmas this year. In his third year of college, he has a girlfriend and wants to spend Christmas with her and her family. While we love who he's with and want him to have a good relationship with her family, it hurts us deeply that we won't get to see him during one of our favorite times of the year. For me, my favorite part of Christmas is not opening presents for myself, but watching my children open their presents on Christmas morning. It just won’t be the same without him. If you are grieving the loss of a loved one or a loved one won't be at Christmas like you'd hoped, you are not alone. Many of us will have a different type of Christmas this year. Sometimes it's because family and loved ones can't make the trip to see you. For others, it's a financial issue, and relatives can't afford to buy presents like they used to. A great way to make the most of the holidays, even if they don't look like you remember, is to create new traditions. While it's OK to have feelings like anger and sadness over the loss of years past, the best way to forge ahead is to make new memories in this new chapter in your life. For us, it means making the most of having our daughter home in the few remaining years she has left with us. It also means connecting with our son through Zoom or phone so we can be together for the holidays. It is difficult to hold on to hope when it seems like all is lost. The above verse tells us that when we hold out hope for something that seems far beyond our reach, it can feel as if our life is falling apart. However, God is a God of miracles. He can turn any situation to his advantage. Above all, he can respond to requests, even the most difficult ones, in a moment. The verse above reminds us not to give up hope. Keep on praying. Keep on asking God to answer your prayer request, even if it has been years. Christmas is a time for miracles! Our ability to still pray for situations that seem nearly impossible tests our faith, stretching and growing us spiritually. God wants us to rely on him and ask him in faith for anything. Although we may not always get what we ask for, it is essential that we still ask and pray, trusting that God will allow the situation to turn out exactly as he wants. Consider new ways to make the most of your holiday. Make contact with your relatives who won't be able to make the trip. Offer to pay for gifts for a loved one who is financially strapped this year. Observe the true meaning of the season by being the hands and feet of Christ, especially during the holiday season. Although the holidays are meant to be joyful, they aren't for everyone. Sometimes people grieve deep losses during the holidays. Just because someone is suffering doesn't mean you can't help them make the most of it. If you're the one grieving, lean on others for help. Don't be afraid to ask for prayer or for help from those who can offer it. It may mean your family members bring the side dishes while you provide the main entree for the holiday meal. Perhaps it means not giving gifts this year. Whatever you need to do, do it to make your holiday the best it can be. Even if it's not the way you hoped, do what you need to do. Christmas ultimately is not about gifts or extravagance. Instead, it is about spending time with loved ones who are near you. It is also a great way to connect with those who are far away. If your relatives can't come to you, go to them and make the effort to see them. Pray and ask God for everything, even the situations that seem hopeless. Don't allow your heart to be troubled. Instead, make the most of your holiday season and do what you can to connect with loved ones and observe the real meaning of the season. Father, let us be people who remember who you are and what the holiday season is for. Let us remember that Christmas is not about gifts, but instead about being connected to family. Let us reach out to communicate with family members who cannot make it this season. Amen. Intersecting Faith & Life: Is there a loved one - someone you haven't seen but would love to connect with - this holiday season? What is one step you can take to make that connection happen?

Ghislaine Maxwell's defense strategy at trial leaned heavily on the anticipated use of expert witnesses to undermine the government's narrative and cast doubt on the reliability of its evidence. Her legal team signaled plans to call psychologists, memory experts, and other specialists to challenge survivor testimony, particularly on issues of recollection, suggestion, and the passage of time. By framing key witnesses as vulnerable to memory distortion or external influence, Maxwell hoped to weaken the emotional and evidentiary weight of the prosecution's case without directly attacking every factual allegation head-on.More broadly, Maxwell sought to use experts to reframe the case as one built on imperfect recollections rather than corroborated criminal conduct. This approach aimed to elevate technical disputes over credibility, memory science, and investigative methodology, shifting the jury's focus away from the broader pattern of grooming and recruitment alleged by the government. Ultimately, many of these efforts were limited or rejected by the court, and the jury appeared unpersuaded by attempts to intellectualize away consistent testimony from multiple victims. The failed reliance on experts highlighted the weakness of Maxwell's defense when confronted with overlapping evidence and firsthand accounts that proved difficult to explain away through theory alone.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this episode, Kelsi Sheren exposes a shocking case of government corruption involving sitting MPs in Canada who allegedly facilitated euthanasia for a non-resident. Through a leaked FOIA document, she reveals how political pressure was applied to secure a health number for a woman seeking euthanasia, raising serious ethical concerns about the healthcare system and the implications of death tourism.

Ghislaine Maxwell's defense strategy tried to lean heavily on wealth and influence to cast doubt on the prosecution's case. Her lawyers attempted to present her as a scapegoat — someone prosecutors went after only because Jeffrey Epstein was dead and couldn't stand trial. With substantial financial resources behind her, the defense worked to undermine survivor testimony, arguing the accusers were motivated by civil lawsuit payouts and media attention rather than truth. They suggested memories were unreliable, distorted by time, trauma, and the lure of compensation, pushing the narrative that these women were being manipulated by money and high-profile lawyers.At the same time, the defense sought to manipulate perception by portraying Maxwell as fragile, targeted, and unfairly villainized. They tried to distance her from Epstein's abuse despite years of association, framing her as an innocent socialite ensnared in his orbit rather than an active accomplice. They also attempted to weaponize procedural moves — delays, motions, sharp attacks on credibility — to chip away at the prosecution's case. But the jury ultimately saw through these tactics, recognizing that money and manipulation were not mere elements of the defense — they had been central components of Maxwell's crimes in the first place.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Trump administration has been easing regulations, accelerating project approvals, and proclaiming its undying support for the oil and gas industry. But much of the oil patch is in the doldrums. Crude oil prices are stuck in the low $60s/bbl, upstream capex and oilfield activity are down, and some U.S. producers are struggling. In today's RBN blog, we'll discuss the contrast between what the industry had hoped 2025 would bring and how things stand now.

Hebrews 11:1 says this.... “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” How are you using faith today for things you're hoping for? Let's talk about this on today's Morning Manna.

Join Host, Holly Newton, in Chattanooga, TN this week, for Episode 3 of Embracing the Unknown: “The Substance of Things Hoped For.” Recorded live from Tennessee amid full-circle moments, this reflective episode centers on Hebrews 11:1—“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Holly shares a heartfelt story of community across seasons, the five years in Franklin, and the unexpected move back to Texas for the birth of grandson Amos—whose five precious months revealed God's greater purposes in the unseen. Exploring why the unknown often threatens our peace, we uncover three simple practices to anchor faith when the path is foggy: naming God's past faithfulness, speaking His promises aloud, and staying rooted in community.
