Meanwhile, the UK faces rising anxiety over security for political leaders following the assassination of Ann Widdecombe. (12)1901

CLiz Peek discusses the strong American economy, noting that small businesses feel relief as tariff threats abate and inflation falls. Lower energy and gasoline prices have cheered investors. Anecdotal evidence from local bookstores and ice cream parlors reinforces a positive outlook for consumer sentiment. (1)Liz Peek highlights the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America as a significant threat to established Democraticincumbents. Young voters are flocking to radical platforms promising free services. Rahm Emanuel emerges as a blunt voice for the party, urging a challenge against these "loons." (2)Jonathan Schanzer reports on the restart of hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz, where oil prices have hit $87 per barrel. The US is conducting air strikes against Iranian naval assets and drone bases. Schanzer questions why these strategic targets were not hit earlier in the conflict. (3)Jonathan Schanzer explores the Houthi threat in North Yemen and the potential for a wider regional conflict. While the US keeps Israel on the sidelines to avoid escalation, Turkey's "neo-Ottoman" ambitions are rising. Schanzer warns that Turkey seeks to fill the power vacuum left by Iran. (4)Mary Kissel analyzes the failure of the Iran ceasefire, noting that Iran calculated the US lacks the will for ground intervention. The conflict centers on Iran's suspect nuclear program, with potential new targets at Pickaxe Mountain. Public engagement remains low despite rising energy costs.

He argues the war preserves President Zelensky's power without a democratic mandate. However, he acknowledges Ukraine's technological ingenuity in developing swarming drone capabilities for modern combat. (10)Gregory Copley highlights Australia's declining regional power as Indonesia and India rise strategically. China'smissile tests and interest in Antarctica further destabilize the South Pacific. As the Antarctic Treaty ends, a scramble for the world's largest oil deposits appears imminent.

Meanwhile, the UK faces rising anxiety over security for political leaders following the assassination of Ann Widdecombe. (12)Jeff McCausland discusses the closing of the Strait of Hormuz due to Iranian threats from land-based missiles and drones. President Trump faces a dilemma: muddle through, escalate with ground forces, or withdraw. McCausland warns that seizing territory like Kharg Island would result in significant casualties. (13)Jeff McCausland notes that Europe now views Ukraine as a security contributor due to its mastery of drone and robotic warfare. While Putin considers escalation or mobilization, Chinese pressure likely prevents the use of tactical nuclear weapons. The US continues to communicate "serious consequences."

It's Wednesday, July 15th, A.D. 2026. 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 and Adam McManus Pakistani Christians targeted in absurd blasphemy cases Most blasphemy cases in Pakistan in recent years were fabricated. Officials admitted this to a parliamentary committee last week. Christians were among the people targeted in the hundreds of fabricated cases.  The country's blasphemy law criminalizes insulting Islam. People often use the law to target religious minorities like Christians. Just last week, a Pakistani court acquitted a Christian man in this kind of case. Thirty-seven-year-old Dennis Albert had spent two years in prison over false accusations.  In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” British island legalizing assisted suicide The British Channel Island of Jersey is legalizing assisted suicide.  The self-governing island is under the British Crown. Jersey received Royal Assent for its so-called “Assisted Dying Law” last week. Once the law takes effect, the territory will be the first place in the British Isles to legalize such killing. Other jurisdictions in the British Isles are also trying to legalize assisted suicide. These include the Isle of Man as well as England and Wales.  Arkansas: Best state for religious liberty; New York is the worst First Liberty released its 2026 Religious Liberty in the States report. The index ranks states in America based on how well they protect religious freedom.  Only Arkansas and Tennessee received excellent scores on the index. New York and Vermont scored the worst. The majority of states scored below 50 percent on the index.  Arkansas' Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke at a press conference after her state won the highest score on the index. Listen. SANDERS: “Jesus commands us to live out our faith boldly. The Constitution protects our rights to do so. In this administration, we don't just believe that Jesus is our living hope. We will always stand up for the rights of Arkansans who believe the same. “I want to thank First Liberty for recognizing Arkansas's work and for honoring us with this ranking. It's something we are very proud of and we will continue to make sure we stay number one.” Michigan pro-life groups will not be compelled to hire pro-aborts A federal judge ruled in favor of pro-life groups in Michigan last week.  A state law would require pro-life organizations to hire pro-abortion employees. Right to Life of Michigan and Pregnancy Resource Center challenged this law in court. The recent ruling blocks Michigan from enforcing the law.  Amber Roseboom, president of Right to Life of Michigan, said, “The court's decision is a welcome reprieve and reaffirms our fundamental right to hire employees who agree with our life-affirming mission.” New law will make housing more affordable The 21st Century Road to Housing Act became law in the United States. last Saturday.  The bipartisan bill is an attempt to make housing more affordable for Americans. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the law on X. She said, “This bipartisan bill includes policies long championed by the President. It cuts unnecessary red tape, helps increase housing supply, and limits the ability of large institutional investors to purchase single-family homes.” Median home price: $440,600 In related news, home prices continued to rise last month. A report from the National Association of Realtors found that the median sales price of an existing home reached $440,600 in June. That's the highest on record.  Lawrence Yun with the National Association of Realtors noted, “Affordability is better than a year ago because wage growth is outpacing home price growth. However, progress on long-term housing affordability could be hampered if inventory growth continues to stall.” People who experienced heartache more likely to turn to Bible Last week, the American Bible Society released the fourth chapter of its “State of the Bible: USA 2026” report.  The survey found that people who experienced a negative life event in the past year were significantly more likely to be Bible users than those who had not experienced that challenge. Such challenges included divorce, natural disaster, life-threatening illness or injury, death of a close friend or family member, and unemployment. The report noted, “Amidst hardships, those who regularly engage with Scripture maintain significantly higher flourishing scores.” In John 16:33, Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Kansas, Washington, and Indiana Susan Tarwater in Hoyt, Kansas, wrote me and said, “I do not watch television. So, I depend on The Worldview as a shortened version of important news I need to hear. Especially news that a Christian needs to be aware of without all the glitter.” Tom Lister in Spokane, Washington wrote me to say, “Adam, I listen to your broadcast every weekday morning. I especially like how you keep us informed about the church, the persecution of many, and how, in many places, the church is slipping into apostasy. I also appreciate how you always end on a very positive outlook. Keep up the good fight! I'm a monthly supporter already but might be able to increase the amount.” And Melinda Johnson in Indianapolis, Indiana, wrote, “I've been listening to and reading The Worldview for several years now. My favorite part of the news is hearing about different stories that are not reported by mainstream media -- things like persecuted Christians, updates on abortion, how the Gospel is impacting the world, and issues affecting the conservative Christian movement. “The Worldview is quite different than any other news, even Christian sources, that cover the regular news. Your newscast brings up topics that help me know what to pray for in the world. You and the team are continuing in a great work!” 3 Worldview listeners gave $205 And finally, on Tuesday by 6:00pm Central, only 3 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Teresa in Haverford, Pennsylvania who gave $5 as well as Lawrence in Lynchburg, Virginia and Gary in Westminster, Colorado – both of whom gave $100 Those 3 gifts add up to $205.

That Don't Sound Right is a podcast about talking—the way we did before the internet, when you couldn't instantly prove anyone right or wrong and all the expertise lived in the people around the conversation. We hope you enjoy our conversations, and if you ever find yourself thinking, That Don't Sound Right, send us a comment. You're one of us. This week, Peter and Cecil tackle one of the most legendary—and controversial—sporting events in the world: the Isle of Man TT. Held on the winding public roads of a small island in the Irish Sea, this iconic motorcycle race has captivated fans for more than a century with breathtaking speeds, incredible skill, and undeniable danger. The hosts explore the famous 37.73-mile Mountain Course, featuring more than 219 turns, stone walls, villages, mountain passes, and straightaways where riders reach astonishing speeds. They discuss the history of the TT, the unique sidecar races, the army of volunteer marshals who make the event possible, and the remarkable logistics of welcoming tens of thousands of fans to an island of just 85,000 residents. Along the way, Peter and Cecil share their own motorcycle experiences, debate the balance between risk and passion, and wonder what compels riders to compete in an event many consider the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world. It's a conversation about adventure, tradition, engineering, and the people who willingly chase the edge. Whether you're a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast or you've never heard of the Isle of Man TT, this episode offers an entertaining look at one of motorsport's most extraordinary spectacles—and why it continues to fascinate riders and fans around the globe. Because when someone tells you motorcycles race flat-out through villages, over mountain roads, and past stone walls at nearly 200 miles per hour... that don't sound right. #tdsrpodcast #ThatDontSoundRight #IsleOfManTT #TT2026 #MotorcycleRacing #RoadRacing #Motorcycles #Motorsports #SidecarRacing #IrishSea #Adventure #MotorcyclePodcast #RoadRace #RacingHistory #Travel #Engineering #MotoLife Connect with us:

In this special programme for Tynwald Day, John Moss reflects how, over a millennium, the Isle of Man celebrates its independence.

On this day, 3 July 1918, a general strike began on the British dependency, the Isle of Man. Sailors, dockers, school workers, transport workers, shop assistants and others walked out on strike demanding that the price of bread remain at 9p – the same price it was in the UK, where flour was subsidised by the state. Previous agitation on the Isle of Man had pressured the local government to implement a subsidy as well for six months to match the price, amidst rising prices during World War I. But that subsidy just expired and the price was scheduled to be increased to 1 shilling (12p).Businesses that attempted to remain open were invaded by crowds of pickets and shut down. Fishing boats were allowed to dock, but fish had to be sold at prices set by a strike committee which was established by the workers. The strike committee also permitted shops in working class areas to open between the hours of 7 AM and 9 AM to allow people to buy food.On the second day of the strike, the governor approached the strike committee and offered them 10.5p per loaf. But this was refused. The governor then met with the legislative council, which caved in and agreed to restore the 9p price. As a result the strike ended on July 5.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7941/Isle-of-Man-general-strike Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

King Robert de Brus (the Bruce), well-known in Scottish history, also had a month-long sojourn in the Isle of Man, of which we hear the tangled background. More from Grimms' Fairy-tales in a Manx translation and lots of music from the Celtic nations.

Vikingatiden brukar ofta förknippas med krig, sjöröveri och plundring, men det var också en av de största fredliga expansionstiderna i vår historia. Vanliga jordbrukare och boskapsskötare lämnade sina hem på jakt efter större marker, samtidigt som stormän och furstar som skrämdes av de nya kungamakterna satte segel mot väster för att finna nya länder att kolonisera, och därmed bevara sin frihet.Den vikingatida kolonisationen förändrade Nordeuropas historia för alltid. Shetlands- och Orkneyöarna, Färöarna, Island, Grönland och många andra områden fick en skandinavisk befolkning. Nordbor slog sig ned på Hebriderna och Isle of Man, i norra Skottland, södra Wales och vid flera nygrundade städer på Irland, medan andra bosatte sig i norra och östra England (”Danelagen”) och i Normandie. Majoriteten av kolonisterna var bönder och handelsmän som valde att lämna sina gamla bygder i förhoppning om att kunna bygga sig en ny och bättre framtid på andra sidan havet. De grundade städer – till exempel Dublin – och påverkade såväl konsthantverk som ortnamnsskick i alla bygder de rotade sig i. Än idag är arvet efter kolonisationen fullt synligt i många delar av Västeuropa. På andra håll, som på Grönland, är det endast synligt i form av ruiner, eftersom kolonisternas ättlingar till slut försvann från scenen på sätt som ännu inte har klarlagts.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om den vikingatida kolonisationen, framför allt i västerled.Bild: Sommar på Grönlandskusten ca. 1000 e.kr.

Time to dip into the archives for another favorite past episode. Yuri Barrigan made his mark on the racing world when he set off to the Isle of Man Manx race with his two 400cc supermotos. Known as the most dangerous motorcycle race in the world, you need balls of steel to even attempt it. And to do it on a supermoto? Titanium. And thanks to Yuri, supermotos are now banned at the Isle of Man. Yuri joined us back in 2015 to share his story of what it takes to race at the Isle of Man, and what it will take to go back again. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew https://womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop

Back in 2017 we interviewed Carolynn Sells, and it's still one of our favorite interviews today. And now in 2026 Liza is checking off a bucket list item, and will be riding alongside Carolynn and all of the other woman riders on the mountain course as they lead the Legacy Lap at the Isle of Man TT this summer. Carolynn Sells is the only woman to win a solo race on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course, an achievement that earned her a Guinness World Record. In 2009 she won the Ultralightweight Manx Grand Prix, and has been a fixture on the Isle of Man race scene ever since. You might find her behind the microphone interviewing racers now, but Carolynn's history with racing goes way back. Growing up on the Isle, her dad began racing in the Manx Grand Prix when she was 12 years old and she was determined to get her own racing license. Enjoy this remastered retro interview with Carolynn Sells. With Liza, Miss Emma, Naked Jim and Yuri. www.motorcyclesandmisfits.com motorcyclesandmisfits@gmail.com www.patreon.com/motorcyclesandmisfits www.zazzle.com/store/recyclegarage www.youtube.com/channel/UC3wKZSP0J9FBGB79169ciew womenridersworldrelay.com/ motorcyclesandmisfits.com/shop Join our Discord at discord.gg/hpRZcucHCT

Dark Matters - EP02 - Gef the Talking Mongoose explores one of the strangest and most controversial cases in British paranormal history. On a remote farmhouse on the Isle of Man, a family claimed they were being spoken to by something living inside the walls — a voice that said it belonged to a talking mongoose named Gef. At first, the story sounds almost absurd. But behind the novelty lies something far more unsettling.The case centres on a lonely farmhouse, unexplained noises, and a presence that communicated with the family in a distinct personality. Gef reportedly spoke, sang, mocked visitors, and claimed knowledge beyond the isolated household. Investigators, journalists, and paranormal researchers became involved, attempting to determine whether the phenomenon was psychological, fabricated, or something genuinely unexplained.This Dark Matters episode explores the eerie atmosphere surrounding the case, the isolation of the farmhouse, and the growing sense that something unseen was sharing the space. If you're fascinated by true paranormal stories, strange creatures, mysterious phenomena, and unusual cases from British paranormal history, Gef the Talking Mongooseexamines a bizarre story that becomes darker the closer you look.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/haunted-uk-podcast-ghosts-paranormal-and-the-unexplained--6759967/support.

Team TRO chases mechanical frickin' frack, budget-bike happiness and Joey Dunlop's first Isle of Man homework.

A self-proclaimed witch in 1800s England used fake magic and poison to con her victims - until one murder too many brought her deadly schemes crashing down.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/YorkshireWitchFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: What if we just discovered we're sharing Earth with another intelligent species? Scientists have found something mind-blowing, and if they are right, nothing is ever going to be the same. (When They Arrive – Earth's First Contact Playbook) *** When a young boy stumbled upon a cave ritual in rural Mexico, he uncovered a terrifying cult led by a self-proclaimed goddess who had turned village farmers into willing executioners. (Blood Priestess of Yerba Buena) *** In the case of an 1816 murder, an old security guard recognized the attacker just by voice - but when the suspect ended up on death row, he swore they got the wrong guy. (Murder At The Pottery) *** When strange noises in an old farmhouse turned out to be a mongoose who could sing, spy on neighbors, and speak multiple languages, the Irving family's quiet life on the Isle of Man would never be the same. (The Strange True Tale of Gef The Talking Mongoose) *** There's something seriously strange about Saturn - a giant hexagon storm at its north pole that's got both NASA scientists and conspiracy theorists buzzing about what it could mean, strange radio signals that are unexplainable, and the odd history of how it was seen and interpreted by humans through the years. (The Science, Secrets, Strangeness, and Songs of Saturn) *** In 1800s England, Mary Bateman posed as a powerful witch to con desperate people out of their money - until her "magical cures" turned to murder.

From skeletal faces in TV static to well-dressed spirits standing in hallways, these late-night witnesses share the terrifying things they saw while the rest of the house slept. | #WDRadio | WEEKEND OF JANUARY 25, 2026==========HOUR ONE: Investigators noted the hair on the alleged victim's arms was singed, and the skin burned. The grass where he claimed to have had the encounter was also scorched. Did this scoutmaster and the boys with him truly experience a real UFO sighting in 1952, or was it all a hoax? (The Scouts and the UFO) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't. (I Thought I Was Possessed By The Devil) *** Is the Thunderbird real or myth?  Most would say it is myth – or if it was real, it's now extinct. But then how do you explain sightings of the massive airborne creature as recently as 2018? (The Giant Thunderbird Lives) *** Sometimes, the darkness of night can hide frightening secrets. Especially if you are alone. (You'll Never Guess What Happened While You Were Asleep)==========HOUR TWO: Different peoples build their identity around different facets of their culture: the Italians around their food, the Greeks around their architecture, America around expanding waistlines. The Isle of Man, however, has pinned its identity today on low tax rates, motorcycle races and, oh yes… mermaids and fairies. (Catching Mermaids on Man) *** Would you be willing to eat your meals off the chest of a corpse, in the process, taking on their sins as your own? That's the gruesome job of a sin eater – and there were people willing to do it even into twentieth-century. (Would You Become a Sin Eater?) *** Dr Richard Gallagher is a New York psychiatrist and a psychiatric professor. He has spent twenty-five years viewing exorcisms – and he says 'fallen angels' target the devout AND those who've meddled with the occult. He says it outright – being possessed by a demon can and does happen, and he has seen it all too often. (Psychiatrist Says Demonic Possession Is Real) *** UK homeowners believe their homes are haunted and want to rid themselves of them, while Americans don't care if a house is haunted so long as it has a swimming pool! (Ghostly Homes And Ghost-Loving Buyers)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Robert Ressler came up against a lot of resistance, but his dedicated focus on the minds and motives of serial murderers created what we know today as criminal profiling. (The Man Who Created Criminal Profiling) *** An atheist tells his story about being possessed by demons... or maybe he wasn't.
