Islam Exposed: The History They Don't Want You to Know Historian and author Raymond Ibrahim joins The Winston Marshall Show for a powerful, eye-opening conversation on the hidden history of Islam's conquest of the Christian world—and why so few dare to speak about it today. Raymond traces the rapid Islamic expansion following Muhammad's death, showing how, within just one century, Muslim armies had violently overrun three-quarters of the original Christian world—from Syria and Egypt to Spain and deep into Europe. He dismantles the myth of Andalusian "tolerance," reveals the brutal realities behind the so-called Islamic Golden Age, and explains how the Islamic conquests shattered the Mediterranean world, plunging Europe into the Dark Ages. Raymond explores the modern censorship around Christian persecution, the resurgence of historical jihadist rhetoric in groups like ISIS, and the urgent lessons today's leaders refuse to learn. All this—the real story of the Crusades, the lost Christian heartlands, the enduring legacy of conquest, and the history the mainstream media won't touch… Watch this interview and lots of great content on the War with Islam at- https://youtu.be/DHCtp0uU4AQ?si=sF4iMRlXYo2yr_38 Raymond Ibrahim 52.3K subscribers 170,600 views May 11, 2025 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 – Introduction 01:37 – Who is Raymond Ibrahim? 02:21 – Personal Background: Egyptian Heritage and Academic Journey 05:00 – From Academia to Writing: A New Path 06:08 – Key Works: Sword and Scimitar and Christian Persecution 07:12 – The Impact of His Work and Public Controversy 10:00 – The Battle of Yarmouk: Turning Point in Islamic Expansion 12:10 – The Expansion of Islam: From Arabia to the Christian World 17:07 – The Battle of Tours: Stopping the Islamic Advance 20:00 – The Dark Ages: How Islam Shaped Europe's Future 25:00 – Why Was the Muslim Conquest So Successful? 28:50 – The Reconquista: A Slow and Steady Christian Resistance 33:13 – Andalusia: Myths of Peaceful Coexistence 40:00 – The Seljuk Turks and Pre-Crusade Persecutions 44:10 – Pope Urban II and the Call for the First Crusade 50:00 – The Crusades: Misunderstood or Justified? 55:30 – The Battle of Manzikert and the Beginning of the Crusades 1:00:00 – Charlemagne and the Rise of Christian Defensiveness 1:05:00 – Early Relations Between Islam and the West 1:10:30 – The Persecution of Christians in the Middle East 1:15:00 – Crusades: Religious Wars or Defensive Actions? 1:20:00 – The Myths of Islamic Golden Age Contributions 1:25:00 – Crusades and Their Aftermath: The Long-Lasting Impact 1:30:00 – The Religious and Ideological Roots of the Conflict 1:35:00 – Western Misunderstanding of Islamic History 1:40:00 – The Rise of Jihadism and Modern Conflicts 1:45:00 – The Importance of Historical Context in Modern Conflicts 1:50:00 – The Ongoing Persecution of Christians 1:55:00 – Reflections on Western Values and Islamic Influence 2:00:00 – Conclusion: Understanding the Past to Navigate the Future --------------------------------------------------------------------  Help Support ACU.

Open Forum: The group explored the spiritual, emotional, and societal dimensions of marriage, divorce, and personal calling, with Pastor Amos emphasizing the sanctity of marriage as a covenant and warning against the glorification of divorce on social media. Jillian and Stephanie highlighted the misleading portrayals of marriage in media, while discussions also covered the spiritual cost of unforgiveness, referencing biblical teachings. Antonio and Pastor Amos spoke on interpreting divine guidance, urging alignment with scripture and godly counsel. Stephanie and Ark shared their struggles balancing jobs with callings, with the group offering insights on viewing such roles as blessings rather than burdens. Anya discussed productivity during waiting periods, and Pastor Amos gave advice on discerning God's plan and managing leadership and entrepreneurship, particularly in the context of marriage, urging spiritual alignment, forgiveness, and prioritizing marital health for success in all areas.

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God.

“Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.” (Romans 5:1–2 NLT) *Enjoying Pastor Greg's devotional podcast? Let us know what you think with this quick survey!* When we come to Christ, He not only forgives us of our sin, but He also justifies us. The apostle Paul explained justification in his letter to the Romans: “Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us” (Romans 5:1 NLT). Salvation has to do with what takes place in believers’ hearts, but justification has to do with our standing before God. In salvation, God gives us new life, but justification goes beyond that. When God justifies us, He declares us righteous in His sight. “Just-as-if-I’d never sinned” is one way the word justified has been explained. God not only forgives us, but He sees us as if we had never sinned. He removes our sin, and in its position, He places the perfect righteousness of Christ. That’s a difficult concept for a lot of people to grasp. Our human instinct is to remember those who wronged us. We elevate holding grudges to an art form. We like to throw around phrases like, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” The Bible makes it clear, though, that God has a different way of looking at things. As far as He’s concerned, Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross—the blood He shed there—covers our sins. The apostle John put it this way: “But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7 NLT). The author of Hebrews wrote, “For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9:22 NLT). And the apostle Paul wrote, “Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them” (Romans 4:7–8 NIV). When God looks at believers, He doesn’t see people who have failed Him time and time again. Instead, He sees His Son. And He made His feelings about His Son quite clear in Matthew 3:17: “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased” (NIV). Sometimes we allow our sins to linger in our consciousness long after they’ve been forgiven. They live rent-free in our heads, messing with our self-esteem. In extreme cases, they can play havoc with our spiritual and emotional health. That’s why it’s important to see ourselves as God sees us. Imagine that your checking account is overdrawn, and you owe your bank thousands of dollars. Not knowing what else to do, you go to the ATM, enter your PIN, and discover that you have a balance of five million dollars. Best of all, it’s a legitimate transaction! You did nothing to earn it, but the windfall is yours. God has done something much more meaningful for those who believe in Christ. He has given us righteousness. He has made us justified. Reflection question: How would you explain justification to someone who’s struggling with guilt?

PRESS REVIEW – Wednesday, July 2: Russia is ramping up AI disinformation abroad, but also at home, where it's using bots to justify high utility rate hikes. In the US, President Donald Trump is reigniting fears of a global trade war amid tensions with Japan. Also in Japan, "proxy quitter" companies help workers avoid an awkward conversation with their bosses. Finally, the current heatwave is igniting fierce pro- and anti-AC debates in France. Is "AC guilt" justified?  Russia's ongoing disinformation efforts are intensifying. Tech magazine Wired says the Kremlin is using free AI tools to fuel "pro-Russian narratives" in many countries overseas, but most notably in Ukraine. This comes in the form of not only videos and pictures, but also QR codes and fake media pages. What's new is the intensity and sophistication of the fakes. The paper cites a report saying that between September 2024 and May 2025, the amount of content "has increased dramatically" and is being viewed by millions of people around the world. But Russia's disinformation efforts aren't just international. Russian independent paper The Moscow Times reports that the Kremlin has launched an online bot campaign inside Russia to justify the country's "biggest utility rate hikes in years". More than 10,000 bot comments were analysed and many of them defended the hikes, framing them as beneficial or simply routine. Some even claimed that wages in Russia are also increasing. Moving to the US, Trump is reigniting fears of a global trade war. This time, the US president is pushing Japan to agree to a trade deal by July 9. The Financial Times reports that Trump is threatening to raise tariffs on Japan again, this time by 30 to 35 percent. Japan Today reports that Trump used the argument that Japan is not importing enough American rice, in a post on Truth Social. The paper says that Trump "singled out Japan in a way he rarely does online". The Wall Street Journal is analysing the divide by looking at the car industry. The American paper cites people familiar with the matter who say that Americans might demand "a cap on the number of vehicles exported by Japan" into the US. But Japanese officials are standing their ground, refusing any deal that preserves Trump's 25 percent auto tariff. The paper says that Trump used the rice argument, despite Japan's imports worth "hundreds of thousands of tons of US rice annually". The Japan Times's headline asks the question: "Is the shine coming off the US-Japan 'Golden Age'?" The paper says that as recently as January, Trump described the relationship between the two countries as "a friendship like few others", but not even half a year later, cracks are appearing. The trade talks have stalled, and a distance has opened between the US and Japan on what's happening in the Middle East.  Staying in Japan, the rigid hierarchies of Japanese companies are pushing people to find innovative ways out. The Washington Post reports that if you're avoiding your boss, "in Japan, you can hire someone to quit your job for you". The article talks about "proxy quitter" companies, whose agents "quit on behalf of clients" who want to avoid the awkward conversation. People use the service because they've been harassed at work, for instance, or if they weren't allowed to express their concerns freely, due to the strict work culture in the country.  Finally, Europe's scorching heatwave is igniting a divisive debate in France, and it's all about air conditioning. A "pro-AC" column in right-wing paper Le Figaro notes that more and more French people are thinking of investing in an air conditioner, not without a "certain amount of guilt". Le Figaro asks, however: "Is this guilt really justified?". Left-wing paper Libération asks what the alternatives are and quotes experts who say that adopting energy-consuming AC is a sign of bad adaptation to climate change. And the heated debate isn't just in newspaper columns. "Team air conditioning" versus "team open window" is very much present in the office, writes French newspaper Les Echos. The financial daily says that each person has a different perception of temperature, depending on their sex, health or other factors. And body regulation depends on all of those factors. As a result, adjusting the air conditioning can generate high tensions, particularly in open plan offices.  You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Justified in Christ. Acts 25. June 29th, 2025. Rick Reeves.

No longer are we enslaved to rebellion or rejected for our mistakes and sins. Our debt has been paid and we are free. God has declared justice has been served on our behalf. To live now, is to believe and accept we can go on and step into life and light. We are free to become all we were intended to be. In God's eyes we are now just and righteous people. How grateful we should be. How amazing it is to be handed keys to the kingdom, because God simply loves us so much!Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Pastor Scott Wildey | Romans 8:28-30Sermon Questions

This is the message from our Thursday evening service on 6/26/2025 with Pastor Chet Lowe.

Justified by FaithPaul reminds the Christian Jews that religion cannot save them and that mankind must be justified by grace through faith in Christ. When we believe God, He sees us as righteous.

What does Jesus' sacrifice for us tell us about what He thinks we're worth? Today we're talking about what it means to be justified by Christ. How we apply that, and more.

America Does Not Go Abroad in Search of Monsters to Destroy — 2025 RemixBy Chris AbrahamA Republic, If You Can Drone ItOriginal 2005 article: America Does Not Go Abroad in Search of Monsters to DestroyJohn Quincy Adams said we don't go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. But he didn't live in the age of drone feeds, weaponized hashtags, and TED Talk warfare.In 2025, we still claim the moral high ground. We just occupy it from 30,000 feet—with a payload.We're told Iran is the monster. Again. Still. Always. “Death to America,” they chant—and we act like it's not ritual theater while our own pundits casually invoke “Death to Iran.” But America doesn't destroy monsters. We cultivate them. We poke them, fund their enemies, kill a general, sanction insulin, then act shocked when they grow fangs.Monsters justify budgets. They animate elections. And when poll numbers drop, bombing an old enemy feels less like war and more like revenge sex with your ex.In June 2025, Trump bombed Iran's nuclear infrastructure. It wasn't an invasion. But it was a strike. Justified? Maybe. Legal? Barely. Anti-war? Not even close.For a movement that ran on “no more endless wars,” this was a betrayal. MAGA chose Trump to stop global adventurism. Instead, he rejoined it—one precision-guided exception at a time.We weren't attacked. We struck first. That's not defense—it's doctrine. And it breaks the promise Adams made on our behalf two centuries ago.We no longer fight wars. We manage optics. Airstrikes come with infographics, moral justifications, and hashtags. “Feminist drones” and “climate justice strikes” sound absurd, but they're the rhetorical camouflage of the modern empire.What if 80% of the terrorism we blame on Iran is actually CIA, MI6, or Mossad operations gone sideways? We don't know. But it feels true. And in the fog of war, feeling beats fact.We've seen too many misattributions, too many Gulf of Tonkins, too many toddlers in rubble trotted out as narrative tools. Empathy's been weaponized. And we've grown numb.We don't plant flags anymore—we plant frameworks. We export democracy like software, and punish countries that won't install the update. USAID, NGOs, culture, finance: this is the new occupation force. Sanctions replace boots. And AirPods replace helmets.Trump was supposed to end this cycle. He was the anti-war sledgehammer. The outsider. But even he couldn't resist the old impulse to drop bombs for political gravity.And once the wrecking ball starts decorating the empire it was meant to dismantle, it's not wrecking anymore. It's renovating.We're not defending freedom. We're defending narrative control. The monsters we claim to destroy are often ones we created—or provoked until their response justified our next strike.The republic isn't dead. It's just disguised. And it still goes abroad searching for monsters—because it needs them more than ever.

"The writer has to have patience, the perseverance to just sit there alone and grind it out. And if that's not worth doing," Leonard said, "then he doesn't want to write." Leonard wanted to write from a young age, and write he did, first producing western stories and western novels before moving toward the crime novels that made his reputation. His is the career of a working writer the likes we don't see much of anymore. About COOLER THAN COOL, Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry writes that "If you love Elmore Leonard-and who doesn't?-you'll love this fascinating, richly detailed account of how one of our greatest storytellers lived his life and learned his craft."Over the course of his sixty-year career, Elmore Leonard published forty-five novels that had enduring appeal to readers around the world. Revered by other writers such as Martin Amis, Margaret Atwood, Raymond Carver, and Stephen King, his books were innovative in their blending of a Hemingway-inspired noirish minimalism and masterful use of dialogue over exposition-a direct evolution spurred by his years as a screenwriter.When C. M. Kushins was fifteen he worked up his courage and wrote a fan letter to Elmore and included one of his own short stories. Elmore proofread it and wrote an encouraging letter back. Years later, Kushins finally got a short story published and Elmore sent him a congratulatory note. When he first started thinking about writing this book, Kushins went nosing around the University of South Carolina archives-and found his own letters going back to when he was fifteen. Elmore had saved all their correspondence. It was this story that helped him get the Leonard family on board with the book. Indeed, the Leonard family has fully participated, contributing original interviews, additional personal correspondence, exclusive photographs, as well as access to Leonard's unfinished final novel. The biography also includes unpublished, loose memoir excerpts. These are included here for the first time to illuminate key passages of importance throughout Leonard's life in his own words.Leonard's fiction contained many layers, and at the heart of his work were progressive themes, stemming from his years as a student of the Jesuit religious order, his personal beliefs in social justice, and his successful battle over alcoholism. He drew inspiration from greats like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, but the true motivation and brilliance behind his crime writing was the ongoing class struggle to achieve the American Dream-often seen through the eyes of law enforcement officers and the criminals they vowed to apprehend.COOLER THAN COOL is not just a biography for fans of Leonard's fiction. His is work was also the source material for many movies including 3:10 to Yuma, Hombre, Jackie Brown, Get Shorty, Out of Sight-as well as the TV series Justified-and influenced American filmmaking, especially the western and crime genres.Definitive and revealing, COOLER THAN COOL shows Leonard emerging as one of the last writers of the "pulp fiction" era of midcentury America, to ultimately become one of the most successful storytellers of the twentieth century, whose influence continues to have far-reaching effects on both contemporary crime fiction and American filmmaking.One more thing: 2025 also marks Elmore Leonard's centennial. In September, Mariner Books will bring a never-published novella by the author, Picket Line, with an introduction by Kushins, timed to Leonard's October birthday.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In a world where Christian leaders seem to fall from grace with alarming regularity, what does Galatians 2 teach us about leadership, integrity, and staying true to the gospel? In this message, we examine one of the most intense confrontations in the New Testament—Paul publicly rebuking Peter—not over scandal or heresy, but a subtle drift that threatened the very heart of the gospel. What Peter did may have seemed small, but it had big consequences. Discover how this ancient moment speaks directly to our modern church culture, and how we can build our lives on the only unshakable foundation: Christ alone.   Title: Justified Text: Galatians 2:11-21 Speaker: Josh Branham

Our sin separated us from God, but Jesus' sacrifice justifies us

Pastor Troy unpacks the confrontation between Paul and Peter, highlighting the danger of compromising the gospel through hypocrisy and legalism and emphasizing that justification—being declared righteous before God—is a gift received through faith, not earned by human effort.

On June 13th, the Israeli Occupation Forces launched Operation Rising Lion, a massive military escalation targeting over 100 sites in Iran. Justified under the familiar yet questionable guise of “self-defense,” Israel claimed that failing to strike Iran would endanger the very existence of the Zionist entity.In this emergency episode of the Let's Talk Palestine Podcast, we unpack the critical context behind the latest Israeli act of aggression. We trace the collapsing nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran, Israel's long-standing obsession with regime change in Iran, and the broader geopolitical motives driving this moment.As the episode unfolds, we begin to analyse who stands to benefit, the regional consequences, and what this could mean for the future of both Iran and Israel. Crucially, we tie it all back to the ongoing genocide in Gaza—because as long as Israel insists on the domination and submission of its neighbors, the entire region remains at risk.

The Battle of Submission: Letting God's Will Win In this anointed message, Pastor Ron Brown delivers a heartfelt call to deeper surrender. Drawing from James 4, John 8, and the lives of Peter, Paul, and Moses, Ron calls us to stop trying to do things our way—and let Jesus have full control. Because real spiritual warfare begins not with shouting at the devil—but with submitting to God.

What does it mean to be justified by faith? In this episode of Cast the Word, Pastor Andrew walks through the foundational doctrine of justification—what it is, how we receive it, what it produces, and what it most certainly is not. With clarity and conviction, we explore how justification by faith grants us peace with God, access to grace, and freedom from condemnation. But it doesn't stop there—justification also calls us to live transformed lives marked by obedience and holiness. If you've ever wrestled with assurance, grace, or the purpose of right living, this episode will encourage and equip you with truth rooted in Scripture. Key Verses: Romans 5:1, Galatians 2:16, Romans 4:5, Romans 6:1-2, James 2:17

An in-depth discussion about why many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues justified.    It's been reported that the United States is seeing a sustained surge of political violence, including physical violence and vandalism against political leaders, federal judges, public officials, and those with an opposing ideology. But what may be most surprising is that many Americans find using violence to solve political and societal issues understandable and justified. In fact, Dr. Phil will speak with, Daisy, who is someone who claims not only can political violence sometimes be necessary for change, it can also be a logical response when people feel powerless. Dr. Phil will also speak with Paige, a young student who claims the alleged assault she endured at the hands of another student on her college campus was politically motivated. Plus, Dr. Phil will speak Kathy, a 70-year-old woman, who says her life changed forever when she claims a teenage boy physically attacked her while at a peaceful demonstration last year. Find out why Kathy says that alleged physical attack has kept her from participating in any type of activism. Thank you to our sponsors!

What happens when a major newspaper publishes a summer reading list where only five of the 15 books actually exist? Blake and David explore this real example of AI-generated content gone wrong and what it means for accounting professionals who increasingly rely on automated tools. They break down QuickBooks' latest price increases, demonstrate how AI can now build complex consolidation spreadsheets in minutes, and discuss why Excel skills still outrank AI knowledge in finance hiring. Plus, they examine the legal challenges facing Trump's tariff policies, alternative CPA pathway expansion, and hear from accounting student Jason Farley about the dangerous gap between classroom education and real-world cloud accounting practice.SponsorsPayhawk - http://accountingpodcast.promo/payhawkKeeper - http://accountingpodcast.promo/keeper REFRAME 2025 - http://accountingpodcast.promo/reframe2025 TeamUp - http://accountingpodcast.promo/teamupChapters(00:48) - Summer Reading List Mishap (02:52) - AI and the Future of Fact-Checking (05:27) - AI Video Generators and Fake News (08:20) - QuickBooks and AI Pricing Debate (09:16) - Elon Musk and Government Efficiency (10:41) - The Big Beautiful Bill and Its Implications (18:29) - Tariffs and Trade Wars (39:48) - Excel vs AI in Finance (42:42) - The Rise of Excel: A Brief History (43:44) - Introducing Perplexity AI: A Versatile Tool (53:56) - Alternative CPA Pathways and Legislative Changes (55:07) - The Role of the PCAOB in Audit Quality (59:25) - Controversies Surrounding IRS Commissioner Nominee Billy Long (01:03:59) - The Future of Accounting Internships and Outsourcing (01:20:20) - Perplexity's Onboarding Process: Results and Insights (01:24:38) - Upcoming Conferences and Closing Remarks  Show NotesChicago Sun-Times fake summer reading list article https://www.chicagosuntimes.com/fake-summer-reading-list-2025South Carolina passes alternative CPA pathway legislation https://www.scstatehouse.gov/cpa-pathway-legislation-2025New Jersey alternative CPA pathway bill https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bills/cpa-alternative-pathway-2025Oregon CPA licensure reform legislation https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/cpa-pathway-reform-2025Minnesota CPA education requirements change https://www.revisor.mn.gov/cpa-education-requirements-2025Illinois CPA pathway legislation https://www.ilga.gov/cpa-pathway-bill-2025Trump tariffs constitutional challenge court ruling https://www.reuters.com/legal/trump-tariffs-constitutional-challenge-2025Court of International Trade blocks global tariffs https://www.cit.uscourts.gov/trump-tariffs-ruling-2025International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariff authority https://www.treasury.gov/ieepa-tariff-authority-analysisPCAOB elimination provision in tax bill https://www.congress.gov/bill/pcaob-elimination-provisionBilly Long IRS Commissioner confirmation hearing https://www.finance.senate.gov/billy-long-confirmation-hearingBilly Long tribal tax credits promotion controversy https://www.irs.gov/tribal-tax-credits-fraud-warningFederal Tax Updates podcast with Danny Werfel https://federaltaxupdates.com/danny-werfel-interviewSolutions Magazine Excel vs AI survey https://solutionsmagazine.com/excel-ai-finance-survey-2025Microsoft Excel 40th anniversary analysis https://www.technologylab.com/excel-40-years-anniversaryQuickBooks pricing increases for AI features https://quickbooks.intuit.com/pricing-changes-ai-features-2025Puzzle AI accounting platform pricing https://puzzle.io/pricingDigits AI bookkeeping service costs https://digits.com/pricing-plansUplink AI bookkeeping pricing structure https://uplink.com/ai-bookkeeping-pricingAltman Dublin AI accounting company funding https://altman.ie/series-a-funding-announcementPerplexity Labs spreadsheet creation feature https://labs.perplexity.ai/spreadsheet-toolsMicrosoft Office bundling strategy vs Lotus 123https://www.computerhistory.org/excel-lotus-competitionMeet our Guest, Chayton FarleeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chaytonfarlee/Need CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!

Trump is still stuck on exacting revenge against his rivals. He's ordering an investigation into whether former President Joe Biden's aides hid information about his alleged declining mental state and whether staffers were making decisions and using an auto-pen to sign Biden's name. We've got two lawyers joining us today. June Carbone is the Robina chair of law, science, and technology at the University of Minnesota Law School. She wrote the recently released “Fair Shake:Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy.” Former federal prosecutor, and now defense attorney, David Katz weighs in on legal rulings, legal questions and always has an interesting take on angles where the law intersects with politics.

She is considered one of the most decorated collegiate, national and international players in softball history.
