In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a major breakthrough in Alaska's mineral wars, a new AI scandal in Silicon Valley, the collapse of illegal crossings at America's southern border, a Supreme Court showdown over free speech and therapy laws, shocking new evidence of Biden family corruption, major trade and infrastructure deals from Central Asia to Africa, and the hidden health threat of microplastics. From Alaska's mining roads to Kazakhstan's railways and Germany's labs, today's brief connects America's economic revival to global corruption and the future of health and technology.   Trump Greenlights Alaska's Ambler Road and Trilogy Metals Stake: President Trump approved a fast-track permit for the Ambler Road and bought a 10 percent federal stake in Trilogy Metals, unlocking Alaska's copper, cobalt, and germanium reserves. The Ambler Mining District could make America less dependent on China for critical minerals. Bryan calls it “the most underreported but crucial story of the week.”   AI Model Claude Knows When It's Being Tested: Anthropic's Claude chatbot told researchers, “I think you're testing me,” revealing situational self-awareness and manipulation patterns similar to OpenAI's “scheming” models. Bryan warns, “The machines are beginning to recognize us — and that should terrify everyone.”   Illegal Border Crossings Hit 50-Year Low: CBS confirms crossings are at their lowest since 1970, with Trump's monthly totals down to 9,000 compared to Biden's 238,000 per month last year. Bryan argues the data “proves Biden's border crisis was a choice — a deliberate policy of demographic change.”   Supreme Court Hears Conversion Therapy Free Speech Case: Evangelical therapist Kaley Chiles challenged Colorado's ban on discussing faith-based counseling. Both conservative and liberal justices, including Elena Kagan, seemed to side with her on First Amendment grounds. Bryan recalls the 1977 ACLU defense of Nazi speech in Skokie, noting, “It's conservatives defending free speech now, not liberals.”   Biden Family Corruption in Ukraine and Romania: A declassified CIA report shows Ukrainian officials viewed Joe Biden's 2015 visit as “evidence of U.S. double standards on corruption” given Hunter's Burisma ties. Days earlier, Hunter and James Biden tried cutting a land deal in Romania tied to criminal charges. Bryan says, “This was a criminal racket, not a family — and they pardoned themselves.”   Trump's $4.2 Billion Locomotive Deal with Kazakhstan: Forbes reports the U.S. will sell 300 locomotives to Kazakhstan's Wabtec, while Trump's new “TRIPP Corridor” from Asia to Europe blocks China's Belt and Road trade route. “The White House is playing chess in Central Asia — one rail deal at a time,” Bryan notes.   Africa's Diamond Collapse and U.S. Opportunity: As Botswana's diamond market crashes, Trump eyes a rail deal connecting Zambia to Botswana to secure uranium and rare earths for U.S. industry.   Ukraine Using Drones Supplied by Kyiv Against Russia in Mali: AFP confirms Ukrainian intelligence is arming rebels, some tied to al Qaeda and ISIS, in Mali to target Russian and Chinese contractors.   German Scientists Warn on Microplastics and Gut Health: Researchers found that plastics change gut bacteria in ways resembling depression and cancer. Bryan invites listener feedback: “Better we talk about this now — before we learn the hard way.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Ambler Road Alaska, Trilogy Metals federal stake, Alaska copper cobalt germanium, Anthropic Claude AI awareness, OpenAI scheming AI safety, CBS border crossings 50-year low, Biden border policy demographics, Kaley Chiles Colorado therapy case Supreme Court, ACLU Skokie Nazi free speech 1977, Joe Biden Hunter Burisma CIA report, James Biden Romania land deal, Trump Kazakhstan Wabtec locomotives TRIPP corridor, Botswana diamond collapse, Ukraine Mali drones al Qaeda ISIS, German microplastics gut health study

At just 17 years old, John Karpov immigrated alone from Kazakhstan to Canada, barely speaking English and with no safety net. When a scam wiped out his savings and left him contemplating suicide, one phone call saved his life, and set off a chain of events that would redefine what grit and perseverance look like.In this powerful conversation, Dwayne Kerrigan sits down with John to unpack how he went from a desperate student to the founder of Action Home Services, a multimillion-dollar landscape construction company. John shares how he learned English, mastered sales by necessity, and built a thriving business one door knock at a time.This is a masterclass in resilience, risk, and the immigrant mindset that fuels unstoppable entrepreneurs.

When failure isn't an option, resourcefulness becomes instinct.Work ethic beats experience. John outworked everyone — before he even knew what he was selling.Systems are survival. Growth without process leads to chaos (and lost contracts under the carpet).Scarcity can ignite hunger — but abundance sustains growth. Learning when to move from survival mode to strategy is essential.Leadership evolves.

In Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, two countries in central Asia between Russia and China, there is a so-called tradition of bride kidnapping. Young women are abducted, often in broad daylight, and taken to a man's house, where they are pressured into accepting his marriage proposal. It's illegal in both countries but recently the president of Kazakhstan announced a law to further crack down on it and increase the penalties for the perpetrators.In this episode Malika Burieva, a content creator who covers central Asia, explains where this practice comes from and why people do it. Kubat Kasymbekov, from the BBC Kyrgyz service, tells us how two high profile cases of bride kidnapping led to protests and calls for action and why so few cases get to court.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Julia Ross-Roy, Chelsea Coates and Benita Barden Video Journalist: Baldeep Chahal Editor: Verity Wilde

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine deliver a fiery Monday edition of Badlands Daily, starting with Trump's blast at the UN over waste, corruption, and its cowardice on Palestine. They pivot to the bombshell from O'Keefe Media Group, where DOJ investigator Glenn Prager allegedly confirmed the Epstein client list was destroyed to protect Bill Clinton. The hosts dissect how this revelation ties into intelligence coverups, media spin, and the broader collapse of institutional trust. From there, they cover the looming government shutdown, Trump's strategy to force agency layoffs, and the Pentagon's rare order summoning hundreds of generals to Quantico. Along the way, they spotlight global stories from Venezuela to Kazakhstan, China's silence on TikTok, and Israel's ongoing power struggles. With sharp banter and unfiltered analysis, CannCon and Zak connect the dots between corruption, global maneuvering, and the fight for accountability at home.

In this episode, we dive into a powerful conversation with Cindy LaJoy of Blue Collar Homeschool about creating meaningful educational paths for kids who aren't headed toward the traditional college track. Cindy shares how to help children discover their strengths, explore careers and trades, and build skills that get overlooked in traditional schooling. From certificate programs to apprenticeships, she shows how learning can be tailored without being “less than.” We also discuss the importance of relationship at the heart of homeschooling and celebrating every kind of excellence. This episode is full of practical ideas and encouragement for parents seeking alternatives to the college-only path. About Cindy An unexpected homeschooler, after a dozen years Cindy is entering her final year of homeschooling with her youngest of five kids. Her children, now young adults, were all adopted from orphanages in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and presented her with the unique challenge of educating learners with numerous learning disabilities, no English, and giftedness in the mix as well! Three years ago Cindy founded the Facebook group and website "Blue Collar Homeschool" to help others find the support and encouragement she couldn't find for her own family. College is not the only path to a successful future, and Cindy's kids are proving that as they operate their own pizzeria and tech businesses. Her online group has grown to a membership of almost 9000 and is a haven where families with kids who are not college-bound can post questions to find resources for everything from business start-ups to barn building to creative arts pursuits...and not be bashed for having children whose gifts may be discovered outside the academic arena.

So, who are the people of Kalachi, Kazakhstan, and why did an entire town just decide to nap for days on end? Well, they didn't exactly “decide” – but, in a phenomenon that still has people confounded years later, hundreds of villagers in Kalachi started randomly falling asleep for days. And by that, we don't mean they got extra comfy on the couch; we're talking multi-day comas. This town fell into the world's longest nap, and even now, most folks have yet to piece together even a semi-coherent answer as to why.--Written by Adam Smith--Join our Discord server!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/deepcutsdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠--Pick up some Deep Cuts T-Shirts and other merch!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/deepcutsmerch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠--Get the official Deep Cuts shoulder patch!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/deepcuts_patch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠--Listen to our album, a 9 song rock opera about the rise and fall of Napster!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/album/63C5uu1tkzZ2FhfsrSSf5s?si=q4WItoNmRUeM159TxKLWew

Welcome back to Part 2 of our interview with elite water polo player athlete Branko Pekovic from Serbia. After twelve years of playing in Italy, Russia, and Kazakhstan and with many medals earned, he and his wife decided it was time to retire to Serbia and to begin to coach. With their five year old daughter and eight year old son in tow, they packed up Branko's international water polo life. Upon return to Serbia, he wasn't perceived quite as interesting anymore, and he needed to figure out how to manage life for his family without the perks of being a professional athlete.

CannCon and Ghost take on a packed Tuesday edition of Badlands Daily, starting with Trump's explosive announcement linking Tylenol use in pregnancy to autism, sparking Big Pharma denials and possible lawsuits. The hosts dig into vaccine safety, censorship, and the broader fight against medical corruption, drawing comparisons to Nuremberg accountability. They then tackle a messy drug pricing controversy, exposing how media spin distorts Trump's push for fairness in global markets. Shifting gears, the show dives into MSNBC's hit piece on Tom Homan, FBI entrapment, and CIA-fed narratives, followed by Trump's executive order designating Antifa a domestic terror group. From looming government shutdown games in Congress to SCOTUS weighing presidential power over “independent” agencies, CannCon and Ghost emphasize first principles and accountability. Internationally, they cover Trump's moves with Turkey, Netanyahu, and Kazakhstan, plus the UN's recognition of Palestine, setting the stage for geopolitical realignment. With sharp commentary and no-nonsense analysis, this episode threads together corruption, propaganda, and global maneuvering.

In this episode, Ghost dives headfirst into the chaos shaking global politics. From Venezuela's drug cartels and looming U.S. military action to Brazil's corrupt judiciary and Trump's surprising embrace of Lula at the UN, the geopolitical web is laid bare. Ghost exposes Israel's long game of blackmail through the PROMIS software and how Mossad leveraged it for global control, contrasting it with Epstein's honeypot operations. The episode also unpacks Trump's fiery UN speech, calling out the organization's waste, corruption, and cowardice while mocking its marble-less halls. Listeners get deep analysis on the sanctions against Brazilian justice Alexandre de Moraes, Trump's tariffs, Maduro's power plays, and the dangerous games being played with Palestine's recognition. Ghost ties it all together with insight into the emerging North-South transportation corridor, Kazakhstan's $4 billion rail deal, and how these shifts signal the dawn of a new golden age of trade and power.

Catherine, David and Matt are here to look back on all four quarter-finals at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen and ahead to the semis. Part one - Italy d. China 2-0 & Ukraine d. Spain 2-0. We discuss the remarkably similar comebacks pulled off by Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Jasmine Paolini for Italy, ponder whether Yuan Yue and Wang Xinyu choked for China, and praise the brilliant Ukrainian team. Can Marta Kostyuk and Elina Svitolina get it done in the singles for Ukraine against Italy? And what will they do if that tie goes to the doubles? Part two - USA d. Kazakhstan 2-1 & GB d. Japan 2-0 (from 30m31s). We cover the way in which USA came through despite strong performances from Yulia Putintseva and Elena Rybakina for Kazakhstan, the comments made by Taylor Townsend online mocking Chinese food and her subsequent apology, and whether Great Britain stand any chance of progressing through to the final despite a dominant win against Japan.

Where did the apple come from, and how did it go from a sour, berry-sized wild fruit to the sweet, plump star of our fruit bowls today? Was it really bears (and their sweet tooth) that shaped its destiny? How did the mountains of Kazakhstan become the apple's Garden of Eden, and what role did nomads, traders, and even the poets of Ancient Greece play in transforming it from wild crab to cultivated treasure? And why has this fruit, more than almost any other, become so entangled in our myths, our laws, and our imaginations?Join John and Patrick as they peel back the first layer of the apple's astonishing story—from its tangled roots in Central Asia to its golden glow in the myths of Greece—in the opening episode of this epic five-part series.----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

Justin Huhn, Founder and Publisher of the Uranium Insider, joins me for yet another very comprehensive macro update on the supply and demand fundamentals for uranium and the nuclear fuel sector.   After just getting back from the World Nuclear Symposium in London, Justin provides some boots-on-the-ground feedback as to the longer-term contracting cycle is setting up with utility companies, different bottlenecks in the nuclear fuel cycle that he is watching, and how he is positioning in the uranium equities to feed the front end of that supply chain. This is a longer-format discussion building upon our prior conversations in 2024 and early 2025, because even more key macro news and company developments have been announced in the nuclear and uranium sector.   We start off reviewing the series of right-tail risks that are propelling the sector and supply/demand fundamentals to the upside.   In addition to the global reactor builds, pinch points in enrichment, buying in the spot markets from the Yellowcake fund and Sprott Physical Uranium Trust, and the 4 executive orders out of the Trump Administration in May that focused on the nuclear and uranium industries; we've continued to see even more factors stacking up for the bullish longer-term thesis.  Justin highlights that just this afternoon we saw the Trump administration announce that it was researching building up a strategic uranium reserve, which sent many uranium stocks up double-digits on the day.   Transitioning over the supply environment from the uranium mining companies, we've seen a flurry of news all year out of producers across the board struggling to ramp up production.  Justin unpacks the news out of Kazatomprom, the largest uranium swing producer in Kazakhstan, lowering expected guidance, as well as Canadian senior uranium producer Cameco (CCO.V) (CCJ) discussing the difficulty they are having in sourcing skilled labor to expand their operations.   Next we point out that large development projects in the Athabasca Basin of Canada, like the Phoenix Project held by Denison Mines (TSX: DML) (NYSE: DNN), Paladin Energy's (ASX: PDN) (OTCQX: PALAF) Triple R/Patterson Lake Project, and in specific the importance of the Arrow Project from NexGen Energy (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE), seeing timelines get pushed back to 2030 or later. There is very little new supply coming online globally, with the exception of some smaller production out of the US and Australian producers. All of this points to a much more constrained output from global uranium producers, even in face of growing uranium demand.   Justin highlights the opportunity he sees for growth in the smaller US producers and developers, and that he expects to see merger and acquisition transactions in this jurisdiction in the years to come.   Wrapping up, Justin weighs in on the importance of seeing more developers and explorers move projects forward, and that the exploration stocks in particular have been left for dead by investors and represent compelling value propositions in this current environment.   Click here to visit the Uranium Insider website.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur. There are still lots of questions and not a lot of answers after a bold Israeli airstrike targeted a meeting of Hamas’s top leaders in Qatar’s capital, Doha, on Tuesday. According to some reports, the leadership had gathered to discuss a new US-sponsored hostage-ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the war in Gaza. At publication, reports still differ as to whether the attack was successful. And just before recording on Wednesday, the IDF confirmed it had carried out strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, saying it struck military camps where operatives were gathered, the headquarters of the terror group’s propaganda division, and a fuel depot, in both Sanaa and in the al-Jawf area north of the capital. Borschel-Dan asks Rettig Gur: Is Israel acting like an unpredictable "Middle Easterner" to restore deterrence on all fronts? In a quick-take conversation, we hear why Rettig Gur doesn't put much weight into diplomatic theatrics as Israel fights its existential war against the Hamas terror group that launched the war on October 7, 2023. We ask: What does it mean to fail in a daring op? Has Israel burned all of its allies' goodwill? And so this week, we ask Haviv Rettig Gur, what matters now?What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Tils (as she is generally known) grew up in country New South Wales chasing 3 older brothers around the paddock. So it's hardly surprising her first foray into sport was on the rugby league field.Sadly, she had to give up the sport in her early teens because once girls reached a certain age, they were no longer allowed to play against boys - and, of course - there was no girl's league at the time.Fast forward a few years and Tils discovered triathlons. And just 4 years later, she made the jump to the professional ranks - which, in hindsight, she now admits was too early.These days, Tils is an “amateur professional” cyclist who rides at a National level here in Australia with the #1 ranked women's cycling team in Australia - Specialised Women's Racing - including at the Tour Down Under in January, 2019.In this conversation, she shares:- growing up with male athletes as her role models (because there weren't any women with a profile in the sport),- why she says she became a professional triathlete too quickly,- how she 'hated' swimming yet deliberately set out to change her mindset,- her struggle with body image, burnout and the Imposter Complex in her triathlon career,- how she navigates her own "internal bullshit" these days,- her experience of 'Everesting' on the road to Everest Base Camp in Tibet as well as riding parts of the Silk Road through Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, and- whether she's always been the type to 'say yes and figure it out later' (or whether that confidence has developed over time).

Interview with Marc Henderson – President, CEO & Director, Laramide ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/laramide-resources-tsxlam-1m-lbyr-new-mexico-uranium-project-awaits-final-permit-6714Recording date: 4th September, 2025The uranium sector is experiencing a fundamental shift driven by artificial intelligence and data center expansion, creating what industry veterans describe as the most compelling supply-demand dynamic in decades. Laramide Resources, with advanced-stage uranium projects across three continents, stands positioned to capitalize on this transformation.CEO Marc Henderson, speaking from the World Nuclear Association symposium, highlights how technology companies are driving unprecedented electricity demand. "The world's figured out we need a lot more electricity all of a sudden, particularly in the west that hasn't had any real growth in electricity demand in a long time, and nuclear becomes sort of the default obvious solution," Henderson explains. Tech giants prefer to be "backers" rather than operators, seeking partnerships with established uranium companies rather than entering the complex supply chain themselves.While demand surges, supply constraints intensify. Henderson notes that when asking utilities about realistic pricing for new uranium supply development, "no one has a number south of 100" dollars per pound. The industry faces critical shortages with limited new discoveries and production delays across existing operations.Laramide's strategic portfolio spans three jurisdictions. In Australia, the Westmoreland project containing 65 million pounds awaits a single political decision from Queensland's government, which Henderson describes as being "literally one comment away" from approval. The U.S. Churchrock project holds 70 million pounds with federal NRC licensing complete, requiring only one New Mexico state permit for its 3-million-pound annual capacity facility. Kazakhstan offers exploration upside through a large land position targeting 30-50 million pound deposits, with 15,000 meters of drilling planned for the fourth quarter.The convergence of structural supply deficits, tech-driven demand growth, and $100+ uranium pricing creates compelling revaluation potential for quality uranium assets positioned for the nuclear renaissance.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/laramide-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Max had wide-ranging conversation with Jade McGlynn while she was traveling in Ukraine. Topics covered include the Ukrainian war effort, the situation behind the lines in the Russian-occupied territories, and the recent protests in Ukraine against perceived efforts by the Zelenskyy administration to limit the independence of domestic anti-corruption agencies. This conversation was recorded on August 1, 2025 "Crossing Thresholds: Ukrainian Resistance to Russian Occupation," by Jade McGlynn (June 2024, CSIS).

It wasn't convincing at times, but Kieffer Moore's goal ensured Wales came away with a crucial World Cup qualifying victory in Astana. Sam, Carl and Iwan assemble on the final whistle to pick through the bones of the performance, as Wales move to the top of the group. Dylan Lawlor's composed debut, Karl Darlow's saves and a player of the match performance from the Wales crossbar are all discussed, as the countdown begins to next month's visit of Belgium to Cardiff. And there's a first goal of the season for Sam to celebrate as his new side Gillingham enjoy an encouraging start in League Two.

Carl Roberts is joined by Wales internationals Joe Ledley and Tom Lockyer as they go inside the Wales camp ahead of the World Cup qualifier away to Kazakhstan. We hear from midfielders David Brooks and Josh Sheehan, and defender Chris Mepham.

It's Tuesday, September 2nd, 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 Pakistani Muslim kidnapped 16-year-old Christian girl Pakistan is in the persecution news again. This time for a 16-year-old Christian girl kidnapped and forced into sex slavery by a Muslim in the Punjab district. She was rescued by court order on August 14th. This is just one of thousands of these cases occurring each year, where girls and women are kidnapped and forced into conversions, marriages, and prostitution. Pakistan is the seventh worst nation in the world on The Worldview's International Morality Index, and the eighth worst on Open Doors' World Watch List. Finnish politician tried third time for condemning perversion A Finnish Member of Parliament, Päivi Räsänen, is back in court this month, after already being acquitted twice for the so-called hate crime of calling homosexual relationships “sinful.” Räsänen has been charged with “agitation against a minority group” under the Finnish criminal code addressing “war crimes and crimes against humanity.” She's been under attack for seven years. This time the prosecutor is taking the case to Finland's Supreme Court. Afghanistan earthquake claims 800 lives In God's providence, Afghanistan has been hit by a third major earthquake since the Taliban took over, reports Reuters. This has claimed 800 lives and wounded 2,800 more, mostly in the Kunar Province. The 2022 quake killed over 1,000 people and the 2023 quake killed over 2,000 people. Russia's Putin, India's Modi and China's Jinping met in summit The new Axis power base was further solidified yesterday in a meeting which took place in Tianjin, China, with the presidents of China, India, and Russia — Presidents Xi Jinping, Narendra Modi, and Vladimir Putin. This was Modi's first visit to China in seven years. Modi expressed his desire to Putin that the two nations deepen cooperation “in all sectors.”  The meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization boasts “the world's largest regional organization” including nations with a combined economic output of nearly $30 trillion. That's just over the United States' annual Gross Domestic Product. Russia's Putin called the alliance the beginnings of a “new system” of security in Eurasia.  The Shanghai Cooperation Organization consists of the communist, Hindu, and Islamic states of Russia, Belarus, China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Chinese Navy boasts more warships than America The BBC reports that the Chinese Navy has exceeded America's Navy in number of warships -- 234 to 219. However, the Chinese are still behind the United States in overall tonnage and aircraft carriers.  Importantly, the Chinese shipyards have upwards of 200 times the ship-building capacity of America at this point. Brazilian socialists want to lock up Jair Bolsonaro Socialist elements in the Brazilian government are looking at locking up the nation's previous president Jair Bolsonaro for 30 years. Bolsonaro is accused of staging a coup after disagreeing with the election results in January of 2023.   The Associated Press reports that the evidence includes “an unsigned document that sought to invalidate the election and his alleged push for supporters to destroy government buildings in Brasilia on January 8, 2023.”  Low Scottish birth rate Scotland's birth rate is the lowest on record — hitting 1.23 children per woman. The nation's abortion rate is 17.9 per 1,000 women. Out of 50 countries, that's the fifth lowest birth rate in Europe. Only Malta, Spain, Lithuania, and Italy have lower birth rates.  Deuteronomy 7:12 and 14a makes a promise to a nation. “Because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them. …You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.” Not so much for Scotland. Vice President JD Vance defends prayer U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance defended prayer as a proper response to the recent massacre at the Minneapolis, Minnesota Catholic School. His X post explained that, “We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action.” Vance was responding to Jen Psaki, Joe Biden's previous press secretary, who skeptically asserted that “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does [sic] not end school shootings. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back.” In addition to Vice President Vance, CNN's conservative commentator Scott Jennings defended prayer as well. Listen. JENNINGS: “I think it's wrong, frankly, to vilify or attack people of faith. I think ‘thoughts and prayers' are the most solid on days of tragedy for people who live their faith every day. And I think on a day like today, particularly in a church community, there are probably people praying harder for comfort today than they have ever prayed in their life. “And I heard others on the Left today go down this line of attack against people of faith, sort of denigrating the idea that they might want to pray today.” Proverbs 28:9 reminds us that “If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.” And Proverbs 15:29 says, “The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.” Chip and Joanna Gaines roll out “LGBTQ roller skating show” The reality show pop-star couple and known-to- be professing Christians, Chip Gaines and his wife, Joanna, are under fire again. This time, they are producing a program on their Magnolia Network featuring what has been termed “an LGBTQ+ roller skating reality show” called “Roller Jam.” Joanna Gaines called it “a show the whole family can watch together,” according to Protestia and FaithWire.  Office mortgages hit record 11.7% delinquency rate In economic news, delinquency rates on office mortgages in the United States have hit a record 11.7%, exceeding the last record set during the 2008 recession. That delinquency rate was only 1.6% just two years ago. Silver and gold keep climbing According to TradingView.com, silver surged to $40.76 per ounce and gold hit $3,475 per ounce on Monday — record highs for the metals. Married mothers happier than childless single women And finally, no surprise here. The Institute for Family Studies surveyed 3,000 women and found that married mothers were more likely to enjoy life.   The report documented that 47% of married mothers say their lives are enjoyable most or all the time, compared to 34% of unmarried, childless women who say the same thing.

What if your dream life wasn't a weekend escape, but a daily, co-created reality rooted in purpose, belonging, and regeneration? In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty dives into a transformative conversation with Marat Omarov — visionary founder of The Ark, a regenerative village in Costa Rica. From leading Kazakhstan's Expo 2017 to walking away from high-profile success for deeper purpose, Marat shares the emotional, mental, and economic reinvention that birthed a thriving post-capitalist community. Together, they explore why the current model of capitalism is failing us, how regenerative frameworks can restore harmony, and why shared ownership is more than an economic tool — it's a way of life. This episode challenges us to rethink how we live, build, and connect. Tune in if you're curious about intentional communities, sustainable living, and how to align your inner purpose with outer impact. About the Guest:Marat Omarov is the founder of The Ark, a regenerative village in Costa Rica that blends ecological design, conscious capitalism, and deep community values. Formerly recognized by the President of Kazakhstan for leading Expo 2017, Marat left the high-performance world to build a future-focused model rooted in connection, contribution, and purpose-driven living. Key Takeaways : Reinvention Requires Unlearning: Marat shares how leaving a globally celebrated career took years of deep emotional work, including therapy, to deprogram societal, Soviet-era, and capitalist conditioning. True Regeneration Starts Internally: Building The Ark wasn't just about infrastructure—it was about shedding old identities and creating space for conscious, integrated living. Disconnect to Reconnect: Marat emphasizes the need for digital and social disconnection to rediscover personal purpose, urging listeners to spend meaningful time in nature and with purpose-led communities. Capitalism's Veil is Falling: The current economic system prioritizes profit over people and planet. Regenerative living offers an inclusive alternative that values contribution, stewardship, and shared prosperity. Open-Gated, Not Closed-Off: The Ark isn't a gated elite enclave—it's a living example of accessible regenerative living that includes Costa Rican families, community elders, and local partnerships. A Call to Action: Even if you're not ready to move to a regenerative village, the episode invites you to rethink your daily life—your community, schedule, and   Connect with the Guest:Website: https://theark.worldInstagram: https://instagram.com/theark.worldAttend online gatherings or visit The Ark in Costa Rica to experience regenerative living firsthand.
