Cinotti (also known as Eric Andrew Cinotti and Eric Cinotti) with co-host Bianca Sea, confronts America's silent crisis: the abandonment of disabled citizens during disasters. Guest Darren Dione Aquino, a 9/11 survivor and ADA civil rights advocate, exposes the failures of FEMA, DHS, SSA, and VA to protect the disabled. He discusses ADA Advocates' Rapid Response Division, his decision to walk away from the NYC mayoral race, and the collapse of ADA enforcement. This is more than awareness—it is legal enforcement, and it is survival. Talking Points Rapid Response: Why Darren built the unit FEMA wouldn't. Walking Away from Politics: Why leaving the mayoral race opened greater doors. ADA Enforcement Collapse: Who's responsible for hollow Title II enforcement. Disaster Abandonment: Why disabled citizens are left to die. Civil Rights vs. Charity: Why the ADA is federal law—not optional kindness. Quotes “Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” — Benjamin Franklin “The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the twilight of life, and the shadows of life.” — Hubert H. Humphrey Call to Action 360x365—If you're waiting for someone else to show up, you're already too late. Demand real ADA enforcement. Support the forgotten. Build the plan no one else is building.

Donald Trump reçoit ce lundi le Premier ministre israélien à la Maison Blanche, peu après avoir promis un « accord » sur Gaza et mis son veto à une annexion de la Cisjordanie occupée. Le président américain est optimiste, il pense pourvoir lui arracher un accord qui prévoit un cessez-le-feu permanent dans le territoire palestinien, la libération des otages israéliens, un retrait israélien ainsi qu'une future gouvernance de la bande de Gaza sans le Hamas. C'est la quatrième fois que les deux hommes se rencontrent depuis le début de l'année, signe d'une relation forte, mais cette fois, Benyamin Netanyahu ne devrait pas s'y entendre les mots qu'il était venu chercher. L'analyse de l'ancien ambassadeur de France Yves Aubin de La Messuzière, auteur de Gaza, analyse d'une tragédie et Israël-Palestine : le déni du droit international, aux éditions Maisonneuve.
Andy and Brendan have PLENTY to talk about after a full, buzzing Saturday at the Ryder Cup despite the blowout on the scoreboard. They jump immediately into the testy exchange between Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Rose, caddies, Francesco Molinari, and others during another winning afternoon for Europe. They dissect Keegan's miscues with lineups and management but wonder if it would have mattered given Europe's play. They also go into the extremely hostile crowds, the constant abuse of Rory McIlroy and the opponent, and discuss how bad it got out there and how much it crossed the line. KVV and LaMagna join late to relay some of their notes from their days inside the ropes before a rambling discussion on Russ Henley, Rose, New England sports analogies, and much more in this rollicking Saturday night episode.
✈️ Yesterday, George & Gayatri Galloway were detained at Gatwick Airport by UK counter-terrorism police under “hostile activity” legislation. Their phones and computers were seized. Tonight, George gives his full account of what happened, why it matters, and what it means for free speech, dissent, and democracy in Britain.Alongside this shocking story, we turn to Gaza, Palestine, and the war that grinds on. Netanyahu remains a curse on the region, Starmer is now the worst-rated PM ever as Labour's conference opens, Blair's name re-emerges in a Gaza “peace” deal, and Russia warns NATO as the Ukraine war escalates.

Le 3 octobre prochain auront lieu des élections législatives cruciales en République Tchèque. Elles pourraient marquer le retour au pouvoir de l'homme d'affaires eurosceptique Andrej Babis, et la défaite du premier ministre libéral Petr Fiala. Mais c'est un troisième homme qui jouera un rôle crucial dans ce scrutin : le dirigeant du parti d'extrême-droite SPD, Tomio Okamura. Un homme d'affaires, lui aussi, mais au parcours détonnant sur la scène politique tchèque. Hostile aux migrants, à l'aide à l'Ukraine, au « Pacte vert » et à l'UE, il coche toutes les cases ou presque de l'extrême-droite européenne. Mais son parcours et sa biographie tranche singulièrement avec ceux de Marine Le Pen, de Georgia Meloni ou de Geert Wilders. D'origine japonaise, il a passé une partie de son enfance dans un orphelinat praguois où il fut victime de brimades en raison de ses origines mêlées… Et ses deux frères, engagés, eux aussi, en politique, mais au centre et à gauche de l'échiquier politique, lui reprochent amèrement son virage ultraconservateur. « C'est un grand paradoxe de voir que le principal dirigeant d'extrême-droite tchèque, grand défenseur de l'identité tchèque, de la protection face aux migrations et aux influences extérieures se nomme Tomio Okamura, de mère tchèque et de père japonais, note Jacques Rupnik, professeur à Sciences-Po et fin connaisseur de l'Europe centrale, il a d'ailleurs tenté sa chance au Japon, mais il y a découvert que là-bas aussi, il pouvait souffrir de xénophobie ». Peluches et télé-réalité Parti au Japon à 18 ans, Tomio Okamura multiplie les petits boulots : chauffeur de taxi, vendeur de pop-corn, éboueur… Et finit par jeter l'éponge. À son retour à Prague, il se lance dans le secteur du tourisme avec des idées parfois étonnantes. « Il a cofondé une agence de voyages qui proposait d'envoyer votre peluche ou votre jouet à l'autre bout du monde pour y être photographié », s'amuse le politologue Michel Perottino, qui enseigne à l'Université Charles de Prague. « Il a aussi participé à une émission de télé-réalité sur l'entrepreneuriat et il est devenu vice-président de l'Association tchèque des agences de voyage ! », ajoute-t-il. Aujourd'hui âgé de 53 ans, l'homme d'affaires présente volontiers son parcours comme une « success story » digne d'Hollywood. Son bagout et son charisme indéniables lui permettent en tout cas de rapidement s'imposer sur la scène politique. Eurosceptique et anti-islam En 2015, il fonde le parti d'extrême droite SPD (Liberté et démocratie directe) et il engrange très vite de premiers succès électoraux puisqu'il remporte un peu plus de 10 % des voix aux élections législatives de 2017. Tomio Okamura se réclame de Marine Le Pen et de Donald Trump, milite pour une sortie de l'Union européenne et fustige le « diktat écologique » de Bruxelles. Sur l'islam, son discours particulièrement virulent le rapproche de Geert Wilders, le dirigeant de l'extrême droite néerlandaise. À partir de 2022 et de l'invasion générale de l'Ukraine par la Russie, il tient un discours très hostile aux réfugiés ukrainiens et dénonce l'aide militaire apportée à Kiev. « Le point de départ, et c'est ça qui peut être le plus important pour son électorat, c'est la très forte présence de réfugiés ukrainiens, principalement de femmes et d'enfants qu'il faut aider et qui obtiennent des allocations, pointe Michel Perottino, de l'université Charles de Prague. Ensuite, il y a un positionnement pro-russe, et un discours qui consiste à dire "faisons la paix à tout prix, et coupons les livraisons d'armes et de munitions aux Ukrainiens". Ce serait une décision très importante dans la mesure où la République tchèque a joué et joue encore un rôle crucial dans les livraisons de munitions à l'Ukraine ». Un « tournant » pour toute la région À la faveur du vent conservateur qui souffle sur l'Europe, Tomio Okamura peut ambitionner, désormais, sinon d'entrer au gouvernement, en tout cas de devenir le « faiseur de rois » du prochain scrutin. Grand favori des élections législatives qui auront lieu les 3 et 4 octobre prochain, l'ancien Premier ministre Andrej Babis est crédité de 30 % des voix et aura besoin d'un partenaire. Ce partenaire pourrait être le SPD de Tomio Okamura, crédité de 12 % des voix selon les derniers sondages. Un scénario qui serait un tournant pour le pays bien sûr, mais aussi pour toute l'Europe centrale. « Il y a actuellement un équilibre entre les quatre pays qui forment le groupe de Visegrad : d'un côté la Pologne et la République tchèque, dirigées par des gouvernements modérés, libéraux, pro-européens, décrypte le chercheur Jacques Rupnik. Et de l'autre, la Hongrie d'Orban et la Slovaquie de Robert Fico, qui sont sur une ligne nationale-populiste. Si Babis remporte l'élection et s'il forme un gouvernement avec le soutien de Tomio Okamura, il y aura alors un glissement vers Orban et Fico. Cela crée, en Europe centrale, un pôle national souverainiste fort et très hostile au soutien à l'Ukraine. Bref, cela recompose totalement le paysage politique de la région ». En attendant les résultats de ce scrutin décisif pour sa formation, une inconnue judiciaire de taille se dresse sur la route de l'homme d'affaires tchéco-japonais. Le SPD de Tomio Okamura est en effet poursuivi pour des affiches électorales ayant appelé à la haine – l'une d'entre elles montrant à un homme à la peau foncée, un couteau ensanglanté entre les dents. Selon la presse tchèque, le chef de file de l'extrême droite tchèque a déjà anticipé une éventuelle condamnation avec la fondation d'un nouveau parti qui pourrait succéder au SPD – une formation appelée, en toute modestie, Parti des soutiens de la démocratie et de Tomio Okamura.

The Bible is the greatest book for all times and all seasons. It is justifiably called the Book of Books for there is no other book in the world like it. The Bible is the very foundation of Judeo/Christian civilisation. It has shaped the identity of Britain, the USA and many other nations. At this current moment in history where so many seek to destroy those foundations, it is the unchanging truths of the Bible that hold the keys to our future destiny. The Bible declares itself to be the very Word of God which can rescue and restore us as individuals, as families and whole societies. In the coming weeks we will be looking afresh at some parts of scripture that provide great light and hope when we face darkness and uncertainty from the second part of the book of Isaiah. Isaiah is one of the greatest prophets in the Bible if not the greatest, well known to both Jews and Christians. His name means ‘God is salvation' and he lived in the 8th Century BC. The traditional view is that all 66 chapters of the book of Isaiah were written by one man, Isaiah, possibly in two periods around 700 BC and around 681 BC. The book of Isaiah has been described as the Bible in miniature. There are 66 books of the Bible and 66 chapters in Isaiah. As the Bible is divided into two Testaments, so Isaiah may be divided in two parts. The first 39 chapters correspond to the Old Testament's 39 books and cover similar themes. The last 27 chapters correspond to the New Testament's 27 books and also contain material crucial to our understanding of the life and ministry of Jesus. The first part of Isaiah, in 39 mainly depressing chapters, deals with God's judgement of persistent sin and rebellion against God and prophesies the destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of the Jews into captivity in Babylon. In Babylon the people of God would be depressed, dispirited and despairing of anything ever going right again. They would seem to have lost everything: their culture, their temple, their spiritual focus, their national identity, their hope. Hostile foreign forces had conquered. But all was not lost…just as all is not lost for you, for your family, for the Christian church and for this nation and the nations of the world. For in Isaiah chapters 40-66 there is a dramatic change. Against all expectations, the prophet begins to speak words of hope that promised a great reversal of fortunes. The exile would end. The Persians would overthrow the Babylonians. Cyrus, the Persian leader of a world power, would look favourably on them. He would help the Jews return to their homeland and assist in the re-building of the Temple…a temple that would, in fact see greater glory than the previous one. So, despite their bleak past and uncertain present, their future was bright. They would know recovery and restoration. God had not abandoned them. He was for them, and though it seemed hard to believe, He would work an amazing turnaround for them. These chapters then in this second part of Isaiah point forward not only to a new hope for the Jews, but to the future hope for the whole world through the coming of the Messiah, Jesus, and ultimately an eternal new Messianic age of righteousness and peace. For us living in the times that we do the powerful prophecies of Messiah could not be more relevant or applicable. We see from Isaiah 40:1-5 that: 1. God is a God of consolation (Isaiah 40:1-2; Lamentations 1:2,16; John 14:16-18,26-27; John 15:26) 2. God calls us to preparation (Isaiah 40:3-4; Luke 3:2-3) 3. God will give great revelation (Isaiah 40:5; Isaiah 60:1-3) Apply 1. God is a God of consolation (Isaiah 40:1-2). Both God and His prophet knew that the people were shaken by their tough experiences. They were carrying great pain and hurt. They were anxious and uncertain (Lamentations 1:2,16). They couldn't have taken any more hits. It would have finished them off. They needed comfort and help. That is like so many people today. Millions of people are hurting. Life has been hard and harsh. Today, behind many a composed outward appearance, are people who feel inwardly ripped apart, whose smiles and varied attempts to find some happiness disguise an aching heart. Maybe you identify with this. Life has not been easy. Your family has all kinds of problems and complications. Your marriage has not worked out. You have been bereaved of loved ones. You have been badly treated by others. You have been let down and you have let yourself down. Maybe you have made some big mistakes, and you have taken wrong turns that have been very painful. Maybe you acutely feel a sense of guilt for sins you have committed. God's attitude here is that He wants to comfort you. He wants to speak tenderly not harshly to you. He wants to declare forgiveness to you. The comfort we can receive stems from the message that “her sin has been paid for.” This is the heart of the gospel. God loves you so much He didn't just feel something for you, He did something for you. Jesus Christ died on the Cross to pay the price of your sin, to bring you out of exile and free you from whatever has held you captive. The comfort we can receive stems from the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew his followers would face a hostile world, but He promised them He would not leave them as orphans (John 14:16-18,26-27; John 15:26). Today if you need to be comforted, you can be comforted by the presence of the Holy Spirit. You can feel the love of Jesus that drives out fear. You can know an inner peace because you know that God is with you. 2. God calls us to preparation (Isaiah 40:3-4). In the harshest of circumstances when even whole nations can think that they are in a barren wilderness, God prepares a way for people to receive Him, just as John the Baptist ministered in the wilderness to prepare the way for the ministry of Jesus (Luke 3:2-3). So often God prepares individuals and even nations to know Him through wilderness times of great difficulty and even tragedy. He wants to prepare us for what He plans to do to restore us. In some cases, preparation means being lifted up. You may be down in life, but you are not out. God wants you to stop seeing yourself as a victim, a nobody, a failure. He wants to show you how much you are loved and valued and how much you can accomplish in life with His help. He wants to raise you up to be blessed and a blessing in your generation. In some cases, preparation means being brought low. The Bible says God resists the proud. To be truly blessed and used by God you need to stop being so independent and self-sufficient and learn to submit to and rely on the Lord. Since every mountain and hill needs to be made low without exception, everyone needs to take care to humble yourself rather than having to be brought low by God. In some cases preparation means being healed and made whole. When you allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life, you will be amazed how much He can heal your heart and smooth out your circumstances. Whatever you and your family, or even whole nations, are going through, be sure that God is at work preparing the way of the Lord. 3. God will give great revelation (Isaiah 40:5). God's glory and manifest presence have been experienced in many revivals. But the greatest displays of His glory are ahead for the church and the world. It will happen and it will affect everyone. His supernatural glory will totally surpass any human glory. And it can happen in a moment as the shepherds in Bethlehem's fields discovered when the ‘glory of the Lord' so suddenly shone around them. God's glory will be seen in our very dark world and we must arise and shine that light for all to see (Isaiah 60:1-3). You may have been in captivity, but you don't have to stay there. God has a destiny for you, to rescue you and restore you. You may feel very bruised and tender, but His love is toward you. You may need to be built up in your self-esteem or brought down in your pride or healed in your heart, but God wants to prepare you to know His glory, goodness and grace. Today, open your life fully to the Lord. Ask for and receive His forgiveness. Seek and receive comfort through the presence of The Comforter, the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ died on the Cross to pay the price of your sin, to bring you out of exile and free you from whatever has held you captive. The comfort we can receive stems from the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew his followers would face a hostile world, but He promised them He would not leave them as orphans (John 14:16-18,26-27; John 15:26). Today if you need to be comforted, you can be comforted by the presence of the Holy Spirit. You can feel the love of Jesus that drives out fear. You can know an inner peace because you know that God is with you. 2. God calls us to preparation (Isaiah 40:3-4). In the harshest of circumstances when even whole nations can think that they are in a barren wilderness, God prepares a way for people to receive Him, just as John the Baptist ministered in the wilderness to prepare the way for the ministry of Jesus (Luke 3:2-3). So often God prepares individuals and even nations to know Him through wilderness times of great difficulty and even tragedy. He wants to prepare us for what He plans to do to restore us. In some cases, preparation means being lifted up. You may be down in life, but you are not out. God wants you to stop seeing yourself as a victim, a nobody, a failure. He wants to show you how much you are loved and valued and how much you can accomplish in life with His help. He wants to raise you up to be blessed and a blessing in your generation. In some cases, preparation means being brought low. The Bible says God resists the proud. To be truly blessed and used by God you need to stop being so independent and self-sufficient and learn to submit to and rely on the Lord. Since every mountain and hill needs to be made low without exception, everyone needs to take care to humble yourself rather than having to be brought low by God. In some cases preparation means being healed and made whole. When you allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life, you will be amazed how much He can heal your heart and smooth out your circumstances. Whatever you and your family, or even whole nations, are going through, be sure that God is at work preparing the way of the Lord. 3. God will give great revelation (Isaiah 40:5). God's glory and manifest presence have been experienced in many revivals. But the greatest displays of His glory are ahead for the church and the world. It will happen and it will affect everyone. His supernatural glory will totally surpass any human glory. And it can happen in a moment as the shepherds in Bethlehem's fields discovered when the ‘glory of the Lord' so suddenly shone around them. God's glory will be seen in our very dark world and we must arise and shine that light for all to see (Isaiah 60:1-3). You may have been in captivity, but you don't have to stay there. God has a destiny for you, to rescue you and restore you. You may feel very bruised and tender, but His love is toward you. You may need to be built up in your self-esteem or brought down in your pride or healed in your heart, but God wants to prepare you to know His glory, goodness and grace. Today, open your life fully to the Lord. Ask for and receive His forgiveness. Seek and receive comfort through the presence of The Comforter, the Holy Spirit.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Cameron return to the subject of Malcolm Gladwell—this time exploring his recent admission that he spoke dishonestly in a 2022 panel discussion on trans athletes in women's sports. Drawing connections between Gladwell's statements, Douglas Murray's fierce critique, and the broader cultural shift on gender ideology, Nathan and Cameron offer thoughtful, biblically rooted commentary on intellectual courage, cowardice, and the pressure to conform in elite spaces. With a focus on truth, integrity, and the role of the church in discerning the signs of the times, this conversation unpacks the internal contradictions of progressive movements, the resurgence of populist common sense, and what Christians can learn from this moment.

Stress isn't just something to “manage” — it's a signal, a teacher, and often, an invitation to look deeper at our health, our choices, and our lives. In this solo episode, Darin reframes stress not as an enemy, but as a dashboard light pointing toward misalignments in our nervous system, environment, relationships, and purpose. Drawing on science, practical tools, and personal insight, Darin reveals how layered stress silently drains our vitality — and how to transform it into an ally for growth, healing, and deeper contentment. Whether it's hidden trauma, toxic environments, unresolved conflict, or the modern distractions constantly pulling at our attention, Darin lays out a roadmap to stop the leaks and reclaim the energy already within you. This episode is a powerful reminder: stress isn't the end of the story — it's the beginning of awareness, safety, and a super life.

3I/ATLAS is a hostile UFO. Visit https://themetaphysical.tv for uncensored After Hours episodes, exclusive content, and access to a library of 1,000+ mind-expanding videos on hidden history, forbidden knowledge, and otherworldly topics! In July of 2025, an interstellar object called 3I/ATLAS passed into our solar system for only the third time on record. Most objects out in space are bound to a star. They don't traverse the galaxy because gravity keeps them locked around their own sun. But what about the incredibly rare exceptions that defy these expectations? Bizarrely, all three instances happened in a relatively short time frame, given how long humans have been studying and mapping the stars—the first called 1I/'Oumuamua in 2017, the second called 2I/Borisov in 2019, and this 3I/ATLAS in 2025. The frequency of interstellar sightings has everyone wondering whether these are 1) intentionally directed probes from another world, 2) alien visitors in foreign spacecraft, like a Harvard professor suggested, or 3) just meteors that somehow wandered into our segment of the galaxy. Between Rob's investigative research and John's remote viewing data, there's a lot to uncover about the truth of these interstellar objects. Join investigative researcher Rob Counts and remote viewer John Vivanco for a Metaphysical episode that's out of this world. Discussions in this episode: alien visitors from other worlds, UFOs and UAPs, Avi Loeb's claims about interstellar objects, intergalactic travel, real Star Wars, spaceships, types of aliens, Oumuamua, remote viewing across the galaxy, if 3I/ATLAS is a spaceship, hostile aliens, and more
The Context of White Supremacy host Gus T. Renegade reviews our most recent broadcast with Dr. Tyler B. Davis, Racist Suspect. Dr. Davis departed the broadcast abruptly and left us speaking with a Victim of Racism, Reverend George E. Oliver. This broadcast reveals many components of how White Supremacy/Racism operates. Gus T. will illustrates the counter-racist concepts of Compensatory Conversation Control and minimizing conflict with non-white people - which might necessitate not speaking to non-white people. Gus must emphasize that highlighting Black Misandry and the targeted Racist abuse of black males is often opposed by White and non-white people - including other black males. This broadcast also illustrates the tendency for Victims of Racism to defend people classified as White from criticism from other non-white people. #BlackCulture INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

At stake isn't politics—it's the lives of countless victims, and whether America has the courage to confront the truth.
Imagine waking up one day to find that someone else claims ownership of your property. This unsettling scenario is at the heart of adverse possession, a legal doctrine that allows a person to claim ownership of land under certain conditions. Let's delve into the key elements that define this complex legal concept.Actual Possession: For adverse possession to be valid, the claimant must have actual possession of the property. This means they must physically use the land, treating it as their own. Whether it's building a fence or planting a garden, the actions must demonstrate a clear intent to possess the property.Open and Notorious Possession: The possession must be open and notorious, meaning it is visible and obvious to anyone, including the legal owner. The idea is that the true owner should be aware, or could reasonably be expected to be aware, of the adverse possession.Exclusive Possession: The claimant must possess the property exclusively, without sharing control with others, including the legal owner. This exclusivity reinforces the notion that the claimant is acting as the true owner of the property.Hostile Possession: Hostility in this context doesn't mean aggression or conflict. Instead, it refers to the claimant's possession being without the permission of the legal owner. The possession must be adverse to the owner's interests.Continuous Possession: Finally, the possession must be continuous for a statutory period, which varies by jurisdiction. This means the claimant must maintain possession without interruption for the entire period required by law.Adverse possession is a fascinating and complex area of property law, balancing the rights of property owners with those who have made a genuine claim to land through their actions. Understanding these key elements is crucial for anyone navigating property disputes or interested in the intricacies of land ownership.Stay informed about your property rights and ensure your land is protected.

White House Says House Members Supporting Rep. Massie's Epstein Files Push Engaging In ‘Hostile Act' Against Trump Admin
Court Rules Trump Cannot Use Wartime Law For Deportations; Nations Hostile to U.S. Meet in China | NTD Good MorningAn appeals court ruling has dealt a blow to the Trump administration's deportation efforts. A three-judge panel at the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members is illegal. Meanwhile, the Defense Department is assigning military attorneys to serve as immigration judges. Officials say they were requested by the Justice Department to assist in reducing immigration court backlogs, which now total 3.4 million cases.Nations hostile to the United States are meeting in China this week, including leaders from North Korea, Cuba, Iran, and Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the strong relations Russia has been building with China. Chinese regime leader Xi Jinping challenged the United States and the West, and called for closer cooperation among non-western leaders. However, President Donald Trump said he's not worried about a possible axis forming against the United States.U.S. forces have sunk a suspected Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean, killing what Trump said were eleven members of the Tren de Aragua gang. The operation comes weeks after Washington doubled its reward for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's arrest. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says U.S. patrols will stay in the region to confront cartels.
In this episode, we speak with award-winning investigative journalist Azad Essa about his research on the evolving relationship between India and Israel. Our conversation explores the historical development and contemporary significance of this alliance, particularly in light of recent events in Gaza.Essa discusses how, despite growing grassroots pressure for India to implement an arms embargo against Israel, the Indian government has instead strengthened its military and financial ties with Israel. The discussion examines how the Hindutva political movement has played a significant role in supporting and expanding this partnership.Throughout the conversation, our guest analyzes the sociopolitical parallels between these two nations, exploring Essa's argument that India has adopted certain policies and practices reminiscent of Israel's approach to governance in occupied Palestinian territories. The discussion particularly focuses on questions of religious minorities, citizenship, and how nationalist movements shape domestic policies.This episode offers listeners a thoughtful examination of how geopolitical alliances intersect with questions of democracy, ethnonationalism, and religious identity in two of the world's most complex political environments.Support the showSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation: Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Subscribe to our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEbUfYcWGZapBNYvCObiCpp3qtxgH_jFy Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://csrr.rutgers.edu/newsroom/sign-up-for-newsletter/

YUGE thank you to everyone who came out to have a free drink with us as we celebrated 4 years of eating up an hour or more of your time every week. We've had a blast doing this show since day 1, and can't wait to keep on going with you along for the ride, even as unwilling passengers sometimes! Joe, Blake, Jason, Alli, Gnome, Josh....you guys are the best. Sorry for the extra music volume in the background during the second-ish half of this episode. This week, amongst the chaos and ball jokes, we managed to talk about a few shows, all with multiple choice questions! Some of the things we cover are : What podcasts have slogans. Statistics are meaningless. Good news (for us) about BrewDog. Would you go to a water bar? Hostile takeovers of the Cincy Brew Dads' Untapped accounts. Not knowing if they found the pimp cane section at Jungle Jim's (is it in the Belgia section?). Starting a petition to change the name of MadTree Light Lager to Legendary Light. How they make a 95-calorie, 4-carb beer. Black IPAs coming back (BACK) to MadTree, maybe a black IPA tap takeover at Parks and Rec if we're lucky! 6 wings worth of protein. Saying the forbidden beer's TRUE name. The cyclical nature of shows that aren't shows becoming shows. The seltzer bubble is popping, so start panicking. Self serve beer AND pizza? Could Big Ash be a Proof of Concept for future LaRosa's locations? Is it more fun to drink with people or with an inanimate Gnome. ----- This episode covers the following shows : Barstool Perspective - 8/22/2025 The Weekly Pint - Ep 275 - The Big-Osas...What Is Going On?

Christians in Somalia encounter life-threatening persecution not only from the militant Islamic group al-Shabab, but also from hostile members of their families and local communities. In particular, those who have left Islam to follow Jesus risk harassment, intimidation and even the threat of death. According to the World Watch List from Open Doors (an annual ranking of the top 50 countries where Christians encounter the most extreme persecution), Somalia remains the second most dangerous region in the world for followers of Jesus. Despite the intense opposition, this East African nation is home to one of the fastest growing church movements in the world. VOMC's Closer to the Fire host, Greg Musselman, is joined by Dr. Aweis Ali from the Somali Bible Society to discuss the many dangers facing the country's Christians, why the church is experiencing remarkable growth, and the exciting efforts of ministry workers who are reaching out to Somalis with the Gospel message. During his conversation with Greg, Dr. Aweis also shares the story of how he personally came to faith in Jesus – and the price he and other Muslim-background believers have paid for choosing to follow Christ in this restricted nation.

It's Wednesday, August 13th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Indian jailor and guards beats five pastors Five pastors in central India were assaulted in custody last month. It all began when a Hindu mob disrupted a church service. Authorities responded by arresting the pastors and slapping them with false charges of forced conversions! Then, the jailor and guards beat the ministers. One pastor told Morning Star News, “They grabbed the opportunity, and without any trial or evidence beat us mercilessly, simply because we are Christians. … Here in Chhattisgarh [State], they are targeting all the smaller churches. … Hindu extremists target every private celebration taking place in Christian homes.” Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in India. The country is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult countries worldwide to be a Christian. Proverbs 17:15 says, “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.” Armenia and Azerbaijan sign historic peace deal at White House The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a joint declaration for peace at the White House last Friday. U.S. President Donald Trump called the agreement “historic” as it aims to end decades of conflict between the two southwestern Asian countries. Armenia and Azerbaijan also signed economic agreements with the U.S., opening the region to American businesses. Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “For more than 35 years, Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought a bitter conflict that resulted in tremendous suffering for both nations. They suffered gravely for so many years. Many tried to find a resolution. … They were unsuccessful. But with this accord, we've finally succeeded in making peace.” Trump cracks down on D.C. crime President Trump announced plans on Monday to crack down on crime in Washington, D.C. National Guard members arrived at the nation's capital yesterday. Trump also put the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia under federal control. President Trump said, “This is Liberation Day in D.C. and we're going to take our capital back.” The White House noted, “If Washington, D.C. was a state, it would have the highest homicide rate of any state in the nation.” 415 hostile incidents against U.S. churches in 2024 The Family Research Council released their latest report on hostility against churches in the United States. Last year, American churches faced 415 hostile incidents. That's down from 485 incidents in 2023 but up from 50 incidents in 2018. Incidents included vandalism, arson, gun-related incidents, and bomb threats. Tony Perkins, the president of Family Research Council, remarked, “The American woke Left has been intentional in spreading its hostility toward the Christian faith throughout every corner of America. … Christians must … demand more from their government leaders when it comes to … preventing criminal acts targeting religious freedom.” 77th city becomes sanctuary for the unborn Life News reports that Douglassville, Texas became the 77th city in the U.S. to ban abortion last Tuesday. The city council of Douglassville unanimously passed an ordinance to become a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. (You can send a quick one-sentence email of thanks to the City Council members through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com) The ordinance prohibits elective abortions in the city limits. It also bans abortions on Douglassville residents, regardless of where the abortion takes place. Pastor Heston McLaurin of Douglassville Fellowship Church said, “I thank the Lord for every step forward in defending the lives of unborn children. Proverbs 6:17 says that God hates ‘hands that shed innocent blood' and He is the defender of the helpless.” Americans get majority of calories from ultra-processed foods New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that Americans get most of their calories from ultra-processed foods. Such foods include sandwiches and burgers, sweet bakery products, savory snacks, pizza, and sweetened beverages. Americans get 55 percent of their calories from these ultra-processed foods. That number rose to nearly 62 percent for kids through age 18. 438th baptism anniversary of Indian named Manteo And finally, today marks the 438th anniversary of the baptism of a notable Native American. Manteo received baptism on August 13, 1587, into the Church of England on Roanoke Island. It was considered the first baptism in the new world and the first baptism of an Indian into the Church of England. The Algonquian Indian helped English settlers at Roanoke make it through a harsh winter in 1585. Manteo also became one of the first Indians to ever visit England. He is remembered as a stalwart friend of the English in the new world. Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 13th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

I'm back with my second talk from the BGEA European Congress on Evangelism stage—this time sharing my interview with Oxford University apologist, Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing. From smuggling Bibles into Taliban-controlled Afghanistan as a student to boldly contradicting those who preach “love is love,” Amy knows firsthand what it takes to live with courageous obedience in a world that has grown increasingly contrary to the Gospel. After sharing some of her story, Amy and I dive into the challenges we as believers are called to face everyday—from postmodernism and militant atheism to the rise of identity politics. But even though the obstacles are real, Amy also offers hope: a new hunger for the truth of Scripture is emerging, especially among Gen Z. Amy invites us to see Jesus not as an ideology to be debated, but as a Savior who validates our longing for justice and meets us in our pain. This conversation should inspire us to stand in strength, speak the truth in love, and to prepare those coming up behind us to do the same.
