Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney and National Review Contributing Editor Andy McCarthy is in for Jim on Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Andy and Greg as they dig into ICE's clever move to apprehend a Columbia protest leader, the UK Supreme Court's affirmation of reality concerning biological sex, and the legal spotlight now shining on New York Attorney General Letitia James for behavior strikingly similar to what she prosecuted Donald Trump for last year.First, they applaud ICE agents for their creative tactics in apprehending Columbia University student and anti-Israel protest organizer Mohsen Mahdawi by summoning him under the guise of a naturalization interview. Andy also breaks down the legal distinctions between citizens and non-citizens when it comes to speech that incites hate. Greg highlights how mainstream media continue to spin radical activists like Mahdawi into sympathetic figures.Next, they're pleasantly surprised over the UK Supreme Court's ruling affirming that sex is binary—just male and female. Considering the dominance of gender ideology in the UK and elsewhere, the decision wasn't guaranteed. The ruling stemmed from a case designed to clarify DEI policies in Scotland, so there's still a long way to go. Andy explains how his legal background helps interpret such cultural shifts. Greg adds that if momentum keeps building for biological truth, expect many elites to pretend they never supported the opposite.Finally, they react to news that New York Attorney General Letitia James is under federal investigation for mortgage fraud and falsifying financial records— the same offenses she charged Trump with in 2023. Authorities say she claimed a Virginia property as her permanent residence, which could disqualify her from her role. She also missated the number of units existed in another property. Andy closely followed the frivolous case against Trump and is stunned that James would have brought those charges forward with this kind of baggage in her own background.Please visit our great sponsors:Oracle will cut your cloud bill in HALF —new US customers only, offer ends May 31st!

In his latest University design column, David J. Staley explores the significance of body language and gestures in educational settings. He emphasizes the need for educators to be attuned to nonverbal cues from students and discusses how gestures can convey thoughts and ideas beyond spoken language. The conversation also touches on the impact of technology on communication, particularly in the context of remote learning, and speculates on the future of artificial intelligence in understanding and utilizing body language. Takeaways: Educators should be sensitive to students' body language. Gestures convey thoughts and ideas beyond spoken language. Students often lack awareness of their own nonverbal communication. Teaching effective nonverbal communication is essential in education. Body language should not be undervalued in pedagogical practices. Technology can hinder the expression of gestures in communication. Face-to-face learning allows for richer nonverbal interactions. AI may achieve true intelligence when it can understand gestures. Conscious design of gestures can enhance communication. Awareness of body language can improve student engagement. "Gestures are ideas in space." "Thought precedes language or gesture."

2/4: Ingenious: A Biography of Benjamin Franklin, Scientist Hardcover – November 12, 2024 by  Richard Munson  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Ingenious-Biography-Benjamin-Franklin-Scientist/dp/0393882233 Benjamin Franklin was one of the preeminent scientists of his time. Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence. Munson's riveting narrative explores how science underpins Franklin's entire story―from tradesman to inventor to nation-founder―and argues that Franklin's political life cannot be understood without giving proper credit to his scientific accomplishments. 8 pages of illustrations 1790

Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative! In this episode, we dive into the inspiring story of Benjamin Wong, a SubTo leader in New England, who acquired a laundromat with no money down, no credit check, and no prior experience. Through his creative financing strategies and his ability to build rapport with the seller, Benjamin was able to turn this laundromat into a $20,000-per-month revenue-generating business, and he even brought in private money partners from the SubTo community to join him in the venture.   Highlights: "This episode is all about how one deal can change your life, and not only one deal, but one deal that you don't have to use a bank, no money of your own, no credit check."   "Our goal is to give the all the money back to our partners, so they are, they are zero money in the deal, and make it infinite return"   "She was so glad at the closing table. She was like, this is the partner, and she just turned the part."   "In her whole life, she has never traveled one day, and all she initially wanted was to retire and go travel. But after my conversation with her, she realized it's more important to see her son to be out of the basement."   Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction to the concept of buying a laundromat with creative finance 02:09 - Benjamin's approach to building a relationship with the seller 06:24 - The structure of the deal and the use of private money partners 12:00 - The primary revenue sources and profit margins of the laundromat 19:50 - Benjamin's rapport-building with the seller and solving her personal problems   ► Join The Subto Community & Learn Creative Finance Directly from Pace:  https://paceapproves.com/subto-gc?utm_source=Apple&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=getcreativepodcast  ► Want to Become a Private Money Lender?

This week I am talking with Christopher Brown, author of the brand new book, “A Natural History of Empty Lots: Field Notes from Urban Edgelands, Back Alleys, and Other Wild Places,” a blend of nature writing, literary nonfiction, and memoir that is also a manifesto for rewilding our urban spaces as well as ourselves. Christopher's other books include the legal thrillers, “Rule of Capture” and “Failed State,” and his debut science fiction novel “Tropic of Kansas.” Christopher also writes the popular urban nature newsletter Field Notes. Also a lawyer and a naturalist, Christopher has worked on two Supreme Court confirmations, rehabilitated a brownfield, built an eco bunker, protected government whistleblowers, taken two companies public, restored a small prairie, raised two amazing kids and trained a few good dogs. And that's just the shortlist. We covered: - Resisting “society's pressure to specialize” - Balancing multiple careers - How a gig at his college newspaper spawned a path that has led to some pretty varied–and cool–places, such as having lunch with a retired German prime minister, playing pool with Frank Conroy, and working at two Supreme Court confirmation hearings - Managing your own expectations for how successful you think you ought to be, and by what age - Rule number one for staying inspired as a writer - The ingenious way he taught himself to “carve out the time from a busy life of work and family to write novels that didn't suck” - How to create the conditions where you accumulate the raw material of the work - The origins of his “Field Notes” Substack Visit Christopher at https://christopherbrown.com/ and sign up for his Field Notes newsletter at https://fieldnotes.christopherbrown.com/.
