Today's episode delivers rapid-fire coverage of the top global and domestic developments shaping America and the world. FBI Monitors Iranian Sleeper Cells as War with Israel Escalates The FBI increases surveillance of suspected Hezbollah operatives inside the U.S., fearing possible terror plots as Israel continues strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The false report of a hit on Iran's Bushehr plant sparked regional panic, though other key nuclear sites have been damaged. Israel Eyes Fordow Strike as U.S. Prepares Stealth Bomber Option Israeli commandos may attempt a daring assault on the heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. Meanwhile, the U.S. considers launching B-2 stealth bombers from Diego Garcia. The base's new lease with China-friendly Mauritius complicates disclosure requirements, raising diplomatic concerns. Peace Talks Stall as Trump Warns Iran and Public Opinion Backs Action Trump's updated peace offer was rejected by Iran. Polling shows 75% of Americans support preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, even if force is necessary. However, some polls show less support for direct U.S. involvement. Trump Withdraws More U.S. Troops from Syria American forces are being consolidated to a single base, with local allies stepping in to fill the gap. The reduction reflects Trump's goal of letting regional players secure their own territory. Panama Sides with China on Canal Ports A Chinese state-owned consortium will take over port operations on both ends of the Panama Canal, rejecting a U.S.-backed bid. The White House is expected to respond next week to this strategic setback. Trump Extends TikTok Sale Deadline in Violation of Law Despite a congressional mandate, Trump grants another 90-day extension for ByteDance to sell TikTok. Legal challenges are expected, though both parties are hesitant to anger young voters. Democrat Governors Cut Off Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants Budget overruns in California, Illinois, and Minnesota are forcing Democrat leaders to scale back health coverage for undocumented migrants. The cuts reveal higher-than-expected migrant numbers and usage, raising questions about official immigration estimates. Portland Decline Mirrors Leftist Unrest Antifa violence continues in Portland, with attacks on ICE facilities and widespread downtown decay. Court documents cite homeless encampments and drug use inside landmark buildings like the U.S. Bancorp Tower, now for sale at an 80% loss. Poll: Democrats Losing Christian Voters Nationwide A new poll shows Christians across denominations overwhelmingly reject the Democratic Party. While Black Christians remain a core base, overall trust is eroding fast, especially in light of cultural and moral concerns. Trade War Hits Canada, Spares Mexico U.S.-Canada trade fell by 10.5% in May, while Mexico saw only a 2.8% drop. Analysts point to Mexico's more diplomatic tone with Trump compared to Canada's confrontational approach. New U.S. Battery Could End Dependence on China A Boston firm, Pure Lithium, is developing a battery that avoids Chinese-dominated minerals and uses lithium from Arkansas. The company could receive $300 million in federal backing to scale production.

Trump Approves Iran Attack Plan While Israel Intensifies Bombing President Trump has privately approved an attack plan for Iran, likely targeting the Fordow nuclear site, though he is delaying execution in hopes of a last-minute peace deal. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes continue throughout Tehran, including the destruction of Iran's internal police headquarters. The UN reports that Iran's highly enriched uranium is missing following the bombings, raising fears of further escalation or a nuclear breakout. Rwanda and Congo Peace Deal Secured Through U.S. Mediation Decades of conflict between Rwanda and the Congo may finally end with a peace agreement set to be signed in Washington, D.C., on June 27. The deal, brokered with help from President Trump, could shift access to critical minerals like cobalt and rare earths away from China and into U.S.-aligned hands. Mineral Wars Continue: U.S. Scrambles for Antimony Supplies Amid a growing battery and defense crisis, China has cut exports of antimony, a critical metal used in everything from missiles to solar panels. The U.S. is now trying to revive an old mine in Idaho that supplied antimony during World War II. Industry officials are calling it a national emergency. Flesh-Eating Screwworm Threatens U.S. Cattle Industry A parasitic fly larva known as the screwworm is advancing from Panama into Mexico, endangering America's already strained beef supply. The Trump administration has launched a major containment effort, including building sterile fly facilities in Texas and Mexico to stop the spread. Supreme Court Upholds Tennessee Ban on Transgender Procedures for Minors The Court rules 6–3 in favor of Tennessee's law banning gender-related medical treatments for children. Chief Justice Roberts writes that the law protects minors based on age, not sex, and criticizes the “expert class” for ideological bias. The ruling puts decisions about such treatments in the hands of voters and state legislatures, not judges or federal regulators.

Retail executive Ramon Marquez can point to virtually every store in a shopping mall and explain how he helped that brand grow. With a passion for retail dating back to his childhood, he's built a career as a leader in merchandising, product management and retail operations for major retailers like JCPenney, Abercrombie & Fitch, Old Navy, and is now shaping the future of Kmart and Sears. As a newly minted MBA graduate, Ramon gained not only a degree from Rice, but also a meaningful board appointment with Panama-based company, Effluz. After working with Effluz on his Global Field Experience, Ramon remained close with the company, which was founded by Taylin Luzcando and specializes in premature baby clothing and accessories. Ramon and Taylin join co-host Brian Jackson '21 to chat about Ramon's career journey from his grandfather's general store in Mexico to the C-suite of some of the biggest global retailers, as well as why he decided to pursue an MBA at Rice and how he's made an impact at Effluz. Founder Taylin also shares the personal origins of Effluz and why entrepreneurs should jump at the chance to partner with Rice's Global Field Experience program. Episode Guide:01:41 Ramon's Early Career and Rise in Retail06:05 Leadership and Adaptability in Retail07:41 Pursuing an MBA at Rice Business10:52 Joining the Board of a Panamanian Startup13:34 Insights on Retail and Future Plans21:03 Personal Life and Community Involvement26:10 Meet Taylin Luzcando, founder of Effluz31:11 Taylin's Experience with Rice's Global Field Experience ProgramOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:How one class changed Ramon's path19:14: [Ramon Marquez] Towards the end of the MBA... and one of the very last classes I took was Life of Meaning. It's an entrepreneurship lab. And what that class does is that it takes a look at where you want to be and how you fill the gap. And we did a lot of frameworks that helped me map out what is next. So, there were a lot of great things that came out of it. One was that I really didn't have a plan in writing or a roadmap to where I want to land. In the class, part of the frameworks will get you back to, like, what are you passionate about? What is it that you wanted to do when you were a kid? What are the things that you don't want to be left undone? And it helped me realize that, you know, there's an entrepreneurial side of me that I have never explored.Why Ramon says passion for your job matter14:37: [Ramon Marquez] I encourage everyone, whatever you do, position yourself in a place where you love it, that you're so intrigued and so inquisitive and so passionate. And a lot of people come to me and say, you know, “How do you get your job?” And I say, “Well, you have to be interested and passionate about retail. If you're not, don't get my job, because then it's too much pressure. It's too hectic. It's too fast. It's too vulnerable. It's too difficult right now. Retail is really difficult.” But if you think about the fact that, you know, merchants have been around for thousands of years and commerce has existed from the beginning of time, retail's not going to go away. It's just the way that we will get to know what it's like. And for that, I don't have the answer, in case you were wondering.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Ramon Marquez | LinkedInTaylin Luzcando | LinkedInEffluz

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 14 -points this morning from Friday's close, at 22,058 on turnover of 2.2-billion N-T. The market closed in negative territory on Friday, after Wall Street made marginal gains following the release of more data about inflation in America. Influencer Holger Chen denies receiving money on China trip Online celebrity Holger Chen is denying claims that he received money from China to travel there last week. Speaking to reporters after wrapping-up a six-day trip to Shanghai, the gym-entrepreneur-turned-online-influencer, stressed the he paid for the trip to China with his own money. Chen also said that he "never degraded Taiwan and never said Taiwan was not good" during his trip - despite allegations (指控) that he belittled Taiwan by praising China. According to Chen, he also didn't engage any business discussions on the trip, but he hopes to have commercial opportunities in China in the future. Chen arrived in Shanghai last Tuesday, stating he was hoping to act as an "ambassador of peace" and encourage more cross-strait exchanges on his first trip to China. Pope Leo XIV blesses Taiwanese newlyweds and wishes peace for Taiwan Pope Leo XIV has blessed a newlywed Taiwanese couple in person during a public appearance in Rome - where he applauded missionary work in Taiwan and pledging (誓言) to pray for peace in the country. According to a Facebook post by Taiwan's Embassy to the Holy See, the couple met the Pope during the weekly Public Audience, and the Pope smiled warmly and his eyes "lit up" upon hearing they were from Taiwan. The post says the Pope praised the missionary work of Taiwan's Chinese Regional Bishops' Conference and the local Catholic Church, and promised to pray for "no wars" for the nation. Trump says Israel-Iran will come to deal 'soon' and warns Tehran against retaliating against US US President Donald Trump wants Israel to hold off on a plan to assassinate (暗殺) Iran's top leader, as he holds out hope for a negotiated settlement. The AP's Jennifer King reports. France Macron Stops in Greenland French President Emmanuel Macron warned that Greenland is “not to be sold” nor “to be taken” in a key visit to the strategic Arctic territory. Macron says he's conveying a message of French and European solidarity, as the French leader is on his way to a summit of the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations in Canada that will be also attended by US President Donald Trump. Last week, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to acknowledge (承認) that the Pentagon has developed plans to take over Greenland and Panama by force if necessary but refused to answer repeated questions during a congressional hearing Thursday. UK MI6 Female Chief From the UK…. MI6 has appointed its first female chief. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Sunday that Blaise Metreweli will be the next director of the U.K.'s foreign intelligence agency.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, for Friday's Headline Brief, delivering the latest domestic and international stories shaping America and the world. Israel Launches Operation Rising Lion Against Iran Overnight, Israel begins a wide-scale bombing campaign targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure, military leadership, and key scientists. Apartment buildings are ablaze in Tehran as oil prices spike and U.S. military bases brace for retaliation. Bryan warns of potential escalation, including Iranian proxy attacks on U.S. soil. The Resistance Fights Back with Protests, Court Battles, and Smears A California judge temporarily halts Trump's control of the state's National Guard. Senator Alex Padilla is tackled by Secret Service after interrupting DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, fueling Nazi Germany comparisons from Democrats. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom claims Trump is mentally unfit to lead. Riots Expand as Leftist Messaging Shifts Democrats now claim they never called the LA riots “peaceful,” despite recent comments from AOC. Violence spreads to cities like Tucson and Spokane, with protestors declaring U.S. lands belong to Mexico. Trump and Republican governors respond with military deployments and legal actions. 500,000 Migrants Ordered to Leave U.S. The Trump administration revokes humanitarian parole for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, rescinding their work permits and demanding immediate departure. The DOJ also sues states that block ICE courthouse arrests. Trump Offers Limited Carve-Outs for Illegal Labor Trump signals flexibility for industries like farming and hospitality, promising to “get the criminals out” but protect long-time workers. California farmers report mass ICE raids and brace for labor shortages. 500,000 Chinese Students to Return Under New Deal Despite FBI warnings, Trump confirms his trade deal will bring back Chinese students and allow many to stay after graduation. Bryan challenges the wisdom of this exchange, citing national security risks. House Votes to Claw Back $9.4 Billion in Wasteful Spending A narrow House vote advances a bill to recover funds flagged by the Department of Government Efficiency. Vice President JD Vance may cast the deciding vote in the Senate. Trump and Musk Begin Reconciliation Following a fierce public feud, Elon Musk and Trump reportedly speak by phone.

Hezbollah Sleeper Cells Could Strike Inside U.S. Bryan warns of potential Hezbollah attacks in cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Detroit, as retaliation for Israeli airstrikes. Gaza Aid Workers Killed, Myanmar Falls Further Under Chinese Control Palestinian militants attack an aid convoy, killing five. In Myanmar, a China-backed rebel group secures critical rare earth mineral mines, reinforcing Beijing's dominance in the sector. Panama Canal Shuts Out U.S. Bid, Sides with China Panama blocks a U.S.-backed deal to buy Chinese port operations, preserving Beijing's control. The U.S. is replacing Huawei towers in the country, but tensions rise over canal access and trade routes. China Refuses to Discuss Fentanyl During Trade Talks Xi Jinping's team flatly rejects U.S. demands to stop fentanyl precursor exports, keeping the deadly flow alive. Bryan calls it a calculated attack on America's youth and a profit stream for China's elite.

For decades, US allies have slept soundly under the protection of America's overwhelming military might. Donald Trump — with his threats to ditch NATO, seize Greenland, and abandon Taiwan — seems hell-bent on shattering that comfort.But according to Hugh White — one of the world's leading strategic thinkers, emeritus professor at the Australian National University, and author of Hard New World: Our Post-American Future — Trump isn't destroying American hegemony. He's simply revealing that it's already gone.Links to learn more, video, highlights, and full transcript: https://80k.info/hw“Trump has very little trouble accepting other great powers as co-equals,” Hugh explains. And that happens to align perfectly with a strategic reality the foreign policy establishment desperately wants to ignore: fundamental shifts in global power have made the costs of maintaining a US-led hegemony prohibitively high.Even under Biden, when Russia invaded Ukraine, the US sent weapons but explicitly ruled out direct involvement. Ukraine matters far more to Russia than America, and this “asymmetry of resolve” makes Putin's nuclear threats credible where America's counterthreats simply aren't. Hugh's gloomy prediction: “Europeans will end up conceding to Russia whatever they can't convince the Russians they're willing to fight a nuclear war to deny them.”The Pacific tells the same story. Despite Obama's “pivot to Asia” and Biden's tough talk about “winning the competition for the 21st century,” actual US military capabilities there have barely budged while China's have soared, along with its economy — which is now bigger than the US's, as measured in purchasing power. Containing China and defending Taiwan would require America to spend 8% of GDP on defence (versus 3.5% today) — and convince Beijing it's willing to accept Los Angeles being vaporised.Unlike during the Cold War, no president — Trump or otherwise — can make that case to voters.Our new “multipolar” future, split between American, Chinese, Russian, Indian, and European spheres of influence, is a “darker world” than the golden age of US dominance. But Hugh's message is blunt: for better or worse, 35 years of American hegemony are over.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports on a heating exchange on the Pentagon's plans for Greenland and Panama.

Raidījumā pievēršamies mūsdienām, vēsturei un grābekļiem, kurus, cenzdamies apiet, tomēr saminam. Drīz būs aizvadīts pusgads kopš Donalds Tramps sācijs savu otro prezidentūru ASV. Pa šo laiku Amerikas tēls, starptautiskās attiecības, ekonomika un sadzīve sagriezusies teju kājām gaisā. Aizvien biežāk mediju komentāru slejās redzam ASV salīdzinājumus ar nacistiskās Vācijas situāciju pagājušā gadsimta trīsdesmitajos gados. Vai tie ir nekorekti pārspīlējumi, vai tomēr noskaņa liek vilkt paralēles ar to, kādā pasaulē dzīvojām pirms nepilniem simts gadiem Eiropā? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā analizē vēsturnieks, Latvijas Universitātes Filozofijas un socioloģijas institūta vadošais pētnieks Kaspars Zellis un žurnāla „IR” komentētājs Pauls Raudseps. Kaspars Zellis: Ja man jāraugās uz ASV un jāvelk paralēles ar nacistisko Vāciju, es teiktu, ka redzu gan kopīgas iezīmes, gan arī atšķirības. Sākšu ar atšķirībām.  Galvenā atšķirība ir tā, ka atšķirībā no Hitlera, kam bija ļoti izteikta ideoloģiska partija, ideoloģiska programma, kur bija viss salikts pa plauktiņiem, Amerikā mēs šādu ideoloģiju neredzam. Tur ir ļoti patmīlīgs, ļoti egocentrisks un kaprīzs cilvēks, kura iedomām, kura vēlmēm tiek pakļauta visa globālā sistēma.  Otra lieta, kas varētu būt atšķirīgi, ir tas, ka ASV kontekstā mēs īsti arī neredzam milzīgu sabiedrības atbalstu, ja neraugāmies uz vēlēšanām. Ja raugāmies uz kopīgajām iezīmēm, kas visvairāk izsauc pārdomas, ir Trampa retorika. Un šī Trampa retorika, kas ir balstīta gan uz manipulācijām, gan uz meliem, gan uz ienaidnieku, iekšējo un ārējo, meklēšanu, ļoti spēcīgi atgādina Hitlera Vāciju.  Tāpat šis jau hrestomātiskais sauklis: "Padarīsim Ameriku atkal diženu!" Tas ir savdabīgs eskeipisms, kas raksturīgs visām autoritārajām kustībām, kuras saredz kaut kādu skaisto pagātni, kad valsts bija dižena. Te mēs varam vilkt paralēles arī ar Putina Krieviju, kas redz to diženumu Padomju Savienībā vai vēl kaut kur citur. Vai kādā citā valstī, kur ir autoritārie līderi, viņi pagātni iztēlojās kā tādu zelta laikmetu, kuru varētu atkal radīt. Tiek izmantoti vēstures naratīvi, tiek izmantota pagātne, lai radītu šo "jauno realitāti". Pauls Raudseps: Runājot par līdzīgiem procesiem, kādi notika Itālijā pagājušā gadsimta 20. gados, Vācijā - 30.gados, protams, tas, kas ir kopīgs visām šīm kustībām, ir apgalvojums, ka mēs esam tikuši pazemoti, kāds ārējais ienaidnieks mums uzbrūk, ir padarījis mūs vājus un mums ir atkal jāatgūst šis diženums. To teica gan Musolīni, gan Hitlers, to tagad teica Tramps. Es nepārspīlētu Hitlera un Musolīni ideoloģisko bāzi. Ja skatās, ko viņi rakstīja savas karjeras sākumā un ko beigās, tur daudz pa vidu mainījās. Galvenais dzinulis bija mazāk ideoloģisks, kā emocionāls, tiekšanās pēc varas. Šī arī ir lieta, kas ir kopīga visām šīm kustībām.  Protams, arī jaunāko tehnoloģiju izmantošana, lai manipulētu ar cilvēku prātiem. Hitlers ļoti efektīvi izmantoja savulaik radio. Tramps ļoti efektīvi izmanto sociālos medijus. Jautājums - vai Tramps ir fašists? Piemēram, Kamala Harisa pagājušā gadā priekšvēlēšanu kampaņas laikā teica - jā, Tramps ir fašists. Par to jau bija diezgan plašas diskusijas Amerikā jau pirms tam, arī tad, kad viņš pirmo reizi kandidēja un bija prezidents. Ļoti daudzi dažādi eksperti un vēsturnieki, un politologi ir iesaistījuši šajā diskusijā. Latvijā labi zīnāmais Timotijs Snaiders saka: jā, Tramps ir fašists. Tā saka Timotijs Snaiders, kas, es domāju, ir ļoti iecienīts vēsturnieks Latvijā. Citi arī ir pievienojušies šim viedoklim, citi atkal saka, ka tomēr ir atšķirības. Es teiktu, ka šobrīd, vērtējot fašisma pazīmes, Tramps ir tādā kā fašisma priekškambarī, jo ļoti daudzas lietas ir līdzīgas.  Viena lieta, lai gan viņš par to ir runājis, bet vai tiešām tās runas pāries darbos, tas ir liels jautājums. Gan Hitleram, gan Musolīni bija būtiska vardarbība, militārā ekspansija kā nācijas varēšanas un vīrišķības un atdzimšanas pierādījums. Hitleram tas bija ļoti izteikti, bet Musolini to arī darīja Ziemeļāfrikā un Albānijā. Tramps pirmās prezidentūras laikā par militāru ekspansiju nerunāja, mēs zinām tagad, ka viņš ir sācis teikt, ka Kanāda būtu jāpievieno, Panama, tad Grenlande. Vai tas tiešām rezultēsies kādā rīcībā, tas ir liels jautājums. Bet sevišķas nozīmes piešķiršana vardarbībai kā nācijas atdzimšanas apliecinājums, es domāju, tas ir viens ļoti svarīgs fašisma elements, kāpēc mēs atšķiram, fašismu no vienkārša autoritārisma. Ulmaņa [Kārļa] režīms bija autoritārs, tas nebija fašistisks, jo, par spīti tam, ka mēs dzirdam to vārdu no dažādiem kaimiņu valsts kara propagandistiem un arī dažkārt uz vietas, tas nebija fašistiski, jo nebija militarizācija un iedoma, ka iekarosim kaut kādas kaimiņzemes, lai parādītu savu varēšanu, bet īstam fašismam tas ir ļoti raksturīgi.  Tas arī tiek izdalīts kā atsevišķa kategorija, jo tā varam mēģināt saprast, kāda varētu būt rīcība nākotnē. Šobrīd, protams, ceram, ka Tramps tā nedarīs, bet zināmas pazīmes ir. Līdz šim, es domāju, tas, ka slieksnis nav pārkāpts.   Zinātnes ziņas Kā runāt ar vakcīnu skeptiķi: pētījums atklāj, kas darbojas.

Vishal Mangalwadi returns to challenge the pessimistic theology that has sidelined the Western church for decades. He argues that the West's decline politically and culturally stems from bad theology. We pray, “His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth,” but simultaneously, we as the church in America have retreated from leading in the culture. To move forward, Mangalwadi proposes a bold vision that begins with education reform, calling churches to reclaim their position as centers of discipleship and cultural formation. Drawing from his global experience and biblical conviction, he offers a hopeful roadmap for restoring truth and rebuilding broken nations.Main Topics:Why Western Christianity adopted a pessimistic eschatology—and the cultural costHow the church turned to a private faith and ceded culture to secularismMangalwadi's plan to renew culture through biblically rooted educationJoin us to explore how the church can recover its cultural voice and help replant biblical roots in today's world.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Learn More about the 2025 DNA Forum in Panama

What if you’ve always wanted to live somewhere else? What if you did it, once, and you remember the freedom and the energy released by fresh places, by a different culture, a true restart.

It's Tuesday, June 10th, 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 Kevin Swanson Panama grants asylum to 11 Iranian Christians Eleven Christian asylum seekers from Iran have been given a 6-month reprieve in Panama. A 27-year-old woman, Artemis Ghasemzadeh,  told International Christian Concern that “If you're a Muslim and you convert to Christianity, it's a problem. The police want to catch you.” The Christians will continue searching for a country that will take them to avoid repatriation, imprisonment, and possibly death if they return to Iran. According to Open Doors, Iran is the ninth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Cuban prosecutors threatening pastor and wife with prison Cuban prosecutors are threatening eight years of imprisonment for a Christian pastor and his wife who mentioned God in a public trial. Pastor Luis Guillermo Borjas and  his wife, Roxana Rojas, of the Assemblies of God, were detained on May 19th for mentioning God's justice in a trial involving their son. The trial for the couple is scheduled for this week. Please keep Pastor Luis and his wife Roxana n your prayers. Open Doors reports that Cuba is the 26th most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Franklin Graham: We need evangelists who are unafraid and unapologetic A thousand delegates attended the European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin, Germany at the end of last month.   Fifty-nine years ago, Evangelist Billy Graham addressed the first European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin. BILLY GRAHAM: “The city of Berlin has influenced the world in every field. What a place from which to shout to the world: Christ is the Savior.” On May 30th, Evangelist Franklin Graham, his son, addressed the conference as well. FRANKLIN GRAHAM: “The Gospel has power. We're going to reach Europe. We need an army -- an army of evangelists -- unafraid, unashamed, unapologetic, uncompromising.” In his closing remarks, Graham spoke of the opposition he received in England recently. He said, “When we were losing our contracts in the U.K., it was coming from the LGBT+ community. They were the ones opposing us, who have the rainbow flags, which I see as the flags for the anti-Christ. And they wanted to have victory. Well, God gave us victory! … This is the group coming after us. … “So, don't compromise, and be strong. Fulfill your ministry. We know there's going to be suffering and challenges, some fights, but let's be strong. We go in the power of the name of Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords.” Conservative Columbian presidential candidate shot in head The conservative candidate for President in Columbia, Miguel Turbay, was shot three times on Saturday, twice in the head. The 39-year-old senator remains in serious condition in a Bogota hospital.  U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “We stand in prayer with Miguel's family, loved ones, and his supporters. Those responsible for this attack must face justice.” Lenin statue toppled in Kyrgyzstan The legacy of atheist tyrants does not last forever. Kyrgyzstan is removing a 75-foot-tall monument of Vladimir Lenin in the city of Osh.   Photos showing Lenin's statue face down on the ground were made public over the weekend. This comes as Moscow has just installed a large monument to the communist  dictator Joseph Stalin in a city subway. Keep in mind Psalm 49:12-13, 16. It says, “Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish. This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts.  …  Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.” (ESV) CA protestors clash with ICE over illegals; Trump send 2,000 troops California protestors who are at odds with the Trump administration's policy on arresting illegal immigrants have taken to the streets, creating mayhem in major cities, reports The EpochTimes.com. Police arrested 150 protesters in San Francisco, and about 60 in Los Angeles over the weekend. The riots started with protestors attempting to thwart Immigration and Custom Enforcement's arrests in Los Angeles on Friday. President Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard troops.  California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is calling for a withdrawal. Plus, California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a court order attempting to gain a restraining order on the deployment.  Silver hits an all-time high Silver has hit a 13-year high — topping out around $36.70 per ounce on Monday. Gold is still hovering around $3,330 per ounce. The gold to silver ratio is still about the highest it has been in history — right around 90:1. The ratio has averaged around 65:1 since the year 2000. Historically, prior to the 1920s,  the ratio was about 20:1.  Michael Tait of Christian band Newsboys confesses to sexual sin The Contemporary Christian Music band, Newsboys, revealed over the weekend that lead singer, Michael Tait confessed to having been leading a “double life.”   This comes after a lengthy investigative report was released from the Julie Roys organization, alleging drug abuse and the sin of homosexual behavior on the part of the lead singer. The report included multiple testimonies of scandalous behavior dating back as far as 2005. Michael Tait was a founding member of dc Talk, another big Christian Contemporary band from the 1990s. The two bands won 20 Dove Awards and four Grammys combined.   The Newsboys group was featured in the films God's Not Dead, God's Not Dead 2, and God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness. Actor Tim Allen reading through whole Bible Tim Allen, known for his role in the sitcom Home Improvement, is reading through the whole Bible. He posted on X that since beginning the challenge last year, he's finished reading the whole Old Testament. He called the read a “humbling overwhelming experience.” And, he said, “What a treasure!” Allen just posted that he is in the book of Romans. He announced last year that this would be the first time he has ever read the Bible.  Psalm 19:8, 10-11 says, “The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover, by them, Your servant is warned. And in keeping them, there is great reward.” See The American Miracle movie tonight Last night, I brought my family to see The American Miracle docudrama in San Antonio, Texas. It's in 1,000 theaters through Wednesday, June 11th.  We loved it.  It was inspirational to learn about God's providential intervention in human history to enable America to win the War for Independence against seemingly insurmountable odds. We especially enjoyed hearing a portion of Daniel Webster's speech given on July 4, 1826, on the 50th anniversary of the birth of America  and the deaths that day of Thomas Jefferson, age 83,  and John Adams, age 90.  TAYLOR:  “My name is James Arnold Taylor. I played Daniel Webster in The American Miracle. The most powerful thing is the power of Providence on this country that we have forgotten. I can't wait for everybody to be blessed by this film and to know that we're here for a purpose and that God has a plan.” The people who have seen the film, including this homeschool mom, have raved. HOMESCHOOL MOM: “I was very inspired by this film. I'm just a home school mama who just finished 25 years of homeschooling my three kids.  And as I was watching this film, I thought, ‘I've poured into my kids. Now, I wish so many other people could hear this story.' This message could go out to so many kids who don't have the privilege of homeschooling.” MOM #2: “This movie will help you equip your children to understand the true history of America.” Go to www.AmericanMiracleMovie.com, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, type in your zipcode, and purchase tickets for tonight or Wednesday night since it's only in the theaters for a total of three days. 21 Worldview listeners gave $2,439.20 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this Friday, June 13th, 21 listeners stepped up to the plate.  We surpassed our 20-donor goal by one donor.

Those 21 Worldview listeners gave a total of $2,439.20.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $14,671.20 (People clapping sound effect) That means we still need to raise $47,078.80 by this Friday, June 13th to hit the half-way mark, to stay on the air, and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Listen to this. On Saturday night, I spoke to Scooter in Naples, Florida who was moved by God to give something bigger due to the challenge from my Michigan friend to consider larger gifts.  He has generously offered to match, dollar for dollar, the next 12 Worldview listeners who give a one time gift of $1,000. But, if that's not in your budget, just give the amount that God has placed on your heart.

Print story South Korean federal and local governments are offering up to $29,000 in cash to couples who agree to get married. The Korean Times also reports that government-provided benefits intending to stir up romantic interest include $370 for dating expenses, $750 for  engagement meeting costs, and $7,500 for travel subsidies. Korean and other Asian societies maintain a very low illegitimacy rate. So, marriage is supposed to help the birth dearth. South Korea's fertility rate is just about the lowest in the world — 0.75 child per woman.

Grocery Shopping, Marquesas-style. Here are three  things to know about restocking your food supply in the Marquesas. Summary Before we arrived in the Marquesas, I worried about the ease of provisioning groceries. Yes, everyone eats everywhere. However, I had heard that stores were mostly nonexistent, had few items available, and what was found would be expensive. What was the reality? First, you'll find three types of "stores": magasins (small, department-store-ish businesses), green markets, and locals selling affordable produce from their gardens. Second, we found most of what we needed. We had heard that black beans were hard to find, so we stocked up in Panama, as we eat them frequently. But everything we looked for, we found. And finally, necessities (like flour, canned vegetables, and some meats) were subsidized by the French government to make them affordable. You can find them by looking for red tags. These appear either on the item or the shelf. Bottom line? While costs for many items were higher than we're used to in the United States and Canada, the availability of produce from local sellers and subsidized groceries makes provisioning manageable.

In this episode of the Northwood Church Matters podcast, Pastor Matt sits down with Missions Pastor Ryan Moore and seasoned mission partner Diane Edwards to reflect on their recent mission trip to Panama. Joined by a team including members from Northwood and Community Central, the group worked to minister to the indigenous people in the Cherokee province. Listen in as they share stories of evangelism, spiritual breakthroughs, and the joy of seeing God at work in unexpected ways—from door-to-door fvisits and public school assemblies to spontaneous gospel conversations at the airport. Highlights include a touching encounter with a young boy, the creative ways the team overcame language and cultural barriers, and the inspiring efforts of local Panamanians like Joel, a young man pursuing God's call to missions. You'll also hear practical encouragement for anyone considering a future mission trip—why age, language, or planning hiccups shouldn't stop you from going—and ways the Northwood family can continue supporting the Newsomes and the work in Panama through prayer, giving, and going.

Leon Carroll Jr, co-author (with Mark Harmon) on "Ghosts of Panama: A Strongman Out of Control, A Murdered Marine, and the Special Agents Caught in the Middle of an Invasion." The warm relationship in 1989 between US and Gen. Manuel Noriega has eroded dangerously. President George Bush declares Noriega a drug trafficker and a rigger of elections causing intimidation on streets for U.S. personnel. The nation becomes a powder keg. Naval Investigative Service (NIS) Special Agent Rick Yell has worked the job in Panama since 1986, and lives there with wife Annya and a child. Yell develops an intelligence source with access to the Noriega regime turning into spy-versus-spy with secret meetings and hidden documents. A source has info on an imprisoned CIA asset and helps track Noriega's movements. The reports shape the decisions made in Washington D.C., CIA headquarters, and the Pentagon. The powder keg is lit on December 16, 1989, when a young U.S. Marine is gunned down at a checkpoint in Panama City. This is the rest of that story. Interview of Friday, 28 March 2025. Interviewer and Host: AFIO President James Hughes.

Daniel discusses an attack on a Colombian presidential candidate, tensions in Bolivia ahead of presidential elections  and a two month long strike by banana workers in Panama 

Noraly Schoenmaker was living a comfortable life in the Netherlands, building a career as a geologist, when her world was suddenly turned upside down. For some, heartbreak might mean retreating inward, but Noraly chose something radically different. She walked away from the life she knew, packed up what she could, and set off to explore the world on a motorcycle. It wasn't a wild whim — her work had already taken her to far-flung places like Panama and Indonesia, exploring gold mines and studying sand. But this time, it was her journey. Over 20,000 miles later, through countries like Iraq, Iran, and India, she found freedom, connection, and perspective — one road, one meal, one encounter at a time.Noraly Schoenmaker is the creator of the hugely popular Itchy Boots YouTube channel. What began as a solo motorcycle trip has evolved into a global journey, with Noraly riding through remote regions, wild landscapes, and across entire continents — from South America to North America, and from Europe to Africa. Her background in biology and geology adds a thoughtful layer to her travels, and when she's not riding, she calls the Netherlands home. Noraly is also the author of FREE RIDE.

PLANTED A LONG-BEAKED WILLOW TREE TODAY, JOYFUL : 2/4:  The Man Who Planted Trees: A Story of Lost Groves, the Science of Trees, and a Plan to Save the Planet, by Jim Robbins. https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Planted-Trees-Science/dp/0812981294/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=   Twenty years ago, David Milarch, a northern Michigan nurseryman with a penchant for hard living, had a vision: angels came to tell him that the Earth was in trouble. Its trees were dying and, without them, human life was in jeopardy. The solution, they told him, was to clone the champion trees of the world—the largest, the hardiest, the ones that had survived millennia and were most resilient to climate change—and create a kind of Noah's ark of tree genetics. Without knowing if the message had any basis in science, or why he'd been chosen for this task, Milarch began his mission of cloning the world's great trees. Many scientists and tree experts told him it couldn't be done, but, twenty years later, his team has successfully cloned some of the world's oldest trees—among them giant redwoods and sequoias. They have also grown seedlings from the oldest tree in the world, the bristlecone pine Methuselah.   When the New York Times journalist Jim Robbins came upon Milarch's story, he was fascinated but had his doubts. Yet, over several years, listening to Milarch and talking to scientists, he came to realize that there is so much we do not yet know about trees: how they die, how they communicate, the myriad crucial ways they filter water and air and otherwise support life on Earth. It became clear that as the planet changes, trees and forest are essential to assuring its survival. 1866 PANAMA
