In the early hours of a recent Tuesday morning, around 4:20 a.m., a disturbing incident occurred in the bustling cityscape of Chicago. A hardworking 23-year-old citizen was making his way down the 5400-block of North Winthrop Avenue when suddenly he became the target of a daunting roadside plot. Two vehicles abruptly approached him, and from one of these, an assumed criminal exited, intent on committing a serious crime. Instead of being intimidated, the young man turned to his concealed carry permit, exercising his right and shot in defense. This young man, whose life was about to take a dire turn, was armed with more than just a concealed carry permit; he had the profound understanding of the self-defense law, which he invoked under the imminent threat. When faced with the thug's armed intimidation and a clear robbery in progress, he decided not to be a silent victim, bravely standing his ground. He was demanded to surrender his possessions and faced a clear danger, but this citizen had prepared for such a dire situation, showing the value of preparedness and personal protection. The tables soon radically turned when our 23-year-old protagonist pulled out his legally concealed weapon. A sudden and unexpected exchange of gunfire ensued as the would-be victim confronted his assailant. The previously confident robber was taken aback by the young man's armed resistance. It was an unpredicted turn of events that prompted dramatic reactions, giving us all food for thought on the importance of personal preparedness. As the tension at North Winthrop Avenue reached a crescendo, the suspected felon found himself in an unexpected scenario. He rapidly retreated towards his vehicle, a stark contrast to his previous brazen display. The sight of an armed citizen, clearly adept in firearm usage and undaunted by the volatile situation, forced the attacker to reassess his errant life choices in an instant. And just as abruptly as the conflict began, it ended. The armed robber, who moments ago projected an air of dangerous authority, scrambled back into his vehicle, and it hastily sped off into the cold, pre-dawn darkness. It was a dramatic end to a violent endeavour, where the intended victim had shifted the balance of power, thanks to his concealed carry permit and the ability to use it effectively. The story of the Chicago passerby who defended himself is, however, not all that it was. Our brave 23-year-old was unscathed, but the scene held a grim marker. Following the altercation, the Chicago guardians of peace discovered traces of blood, a clear indication that the alleged robber might not have escaped unscathed. It was an unsettling yet undeniable confirmation that the defender's retaliatory gunfire might have found its mark. This early-morning incident amidst the urban sprawl is not an isolated case. Other recent robberies have been reported in the vicinity, all bearing striking similarities to the attempted robbery of this armed citizen. This repetition of criminal behavior reveals an alarming pattern, rendering the neighborhood a hotbed of increasing roadside robberies, wherein citizens exercising their right for self-defense become the critical deterrent. Lamentably, the spate of crimes observed within this specific area of Chicago were all executed in a manner closely resembling the attempted robbery of our courageously armed passerby. The same tactics, the same bold approach, overbearing threats and demands - all traits shared among the robbers. It shines a light on the underlying issue of growing criminal tendencies, reinforcing the worryingly regular nature of these incidents and the importance of citizens' preparedness. Such repeated attempts of robbery, almost methodical in their execution, underscore an urgent requirement for robust response mechanisms and crime deterrence measures. The crime rate, with its persistent rise, raises key questions about the efforts to curb such rampant unprincipled behavior. It certainly underscores the necessity for ordinary citizens to be more vigilant, and when legally permitted, be prepared to protect themselves. All these incidents spotlight the dire need for increased security measures and a more dynamic approach to preventing such bold robberies. They also highlight the everyday heroism of those citizens who refuse to be subdued victims and choose to fight back. This incident in particular turned the gaze upon one such hero - our 23-year-old armed passerby - who confidently confronted his menace, potentially saving his life by upholding his right to self-defense and using his concealed carry to his advantage. Furthermore, the story reveals that such heinous attempts to breach personal safety can happen from anywhere, anytime. This particular crime attempted by the holistic approach of vehicular blockade is a chilling insight into the criminal mind. It is hence crucial for individuals, especially in similarly crime-prone areas, to understand the importance of staying alert and being aware of their right to self-defense. One cannot ignore the expanding pattern of such invasive incidents, nor the implications these have on the safety of common people. Violent confrontations such as this one on a Chicago street corner underline the pressing significance of armed protection, in conjunction with the requisite legalities. It is essential to not only have law enforcement agencies working tirelessly to control crime, but also for citizens themselves to be responsible and proactive in their personal safety efforts. The chilling tale of the attempted robbery of a legally armed citizen in Chicago is a stark reminder that we live in troubled times where personal protection has never been more significant. Yet, it also underscores the importance of individual courage, adherence to the law, and the ability to exercise our rights effectively under life-threatening circumstances. It stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the everyday heroes among us, those who stand resolute in the face of unrelenting challenges. In conclusion, this incident brings a significant narrative to the forefront: the importance of a lawful path to self-defense, the value of preparedness, and the courage to take a stand when faced with danger. It affirms the role of law-abiding citizens in fostering a safer community by upholding the law and standing firm in times of adversity. The citizens of Chicago and, indeed, people the world over can learn valuable lessons from this incident. It emphasizes an alarming rise in criminal activities and the importance of both individuals and societies taking a stand against such acts. As they carry forward their daily lives under the shadow of growing crime rates, the story of the 23-year-old reminds us all that it is truly necessary to keep oneself prepared, informed, and vigilant at all times.

As Narrator 2 says in this episode, "English majors must perforce English maj," so here's the episode you've all been dreading: the Fakespeare. Come on, stop whining, you knew it was coming. If you're not familiar with A Midsummer Night's Dream, well, there are lots of really excellent versions out there. We prefer you NOT listen to those, however, as that's going to make this seem even more torturous than being read Vogon poetry before being shot out into space. That said, it was fun to write and fun to do, so ... get over it. Also, the second half should show up on Feb. 14, a day some folks seem to think is special. Thou hast been listening to...

Kyle Jones is your Narrator 2, And Chris Nadolny Gourley is your Narrator. Our music was writ by John Faley, and our artwork from the fevered brow of Lucas Elliott. Sarah Golding our dialogue did edit, and Shannon Perry our sound design'ed.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.THE QUESTION: Why did the man Jesus come to earth? Why not a woman: the daughter of God—a female Messiah?JESUS CAME AS A SON NOT BECAUSE:Male is better -- Galatians 3:28 contradicts this.God is only analogically masculine, not sexually masculine. When we pray Our Father, it's not because God is male – since he isn't a sexual being. If this intrigues you, please hear the podcast on The Shack.Random genetics (50/50).LAMENTABLY, WOMEN WERE DISCOUNTED IN THE ANCIENT WORLDChristianity hadn't transformed attitudes towards minorities, the disenfranchised, foreigners, the needy, women--since Christianity did not exist yet. Jesus entered a Jewish world.Would be discounted in Roman eyes:“Only foolish and low individuals, and persons devoid of perception, and slaves, and women, and children, of whom the teachers of the divine word wish to make converts” -- Celsus in Origen, Contra Celsus, 3.49"...Augustus confined women to the back rows even at gladiatorial shows: the only ones exempt from this rule being the Vestal Virgins… No women at all were allowed to witness the athletic contests…" -- Suetonius, Twelve Caesars, Augustus 44.Would be discounted by Judaism:"... happy is he whose children are males, and woe to him whose children are females." -- Talmud Kiddushim 82b"But let not the testimony of women be admitted, on account of the levity and boldness of their sex, not let servants be admitted to give testimony on account of the ignobility of their soul, since it is probable that they may not speak truth, either out of hope of gain, or fear of punishment." -- Josephus Antiquities 4.8.15"Sooner let the words of the Law be burnt than delivered to women." -- Talmud Sotah 19a"Any evidence which a woman [gives] is not valid, also they are not valid [to offer]. This is equivalent to saying that one who is accounted by the rabbis as a robber is qualified to give the same evidence as a woman." -- Talmud Rosh Hashannah 1.8Yet some Talmudic passages are more positive towards women, like Niddah 45 and Ketubot 2.6-7.(Compare to Islamic view: Female legal witness worth half that of a male “because of deficiencies of a woman's mind.”  -- Hadith of Bukhari, 3.826) BUT BECAUSE ONLY A MAN COULD FREE BOTH MEN AND WOMENLiberates males from stereotype (and rut) of maleness: "strong, dominating, independent, self-sufficient"Jesus taught Paul the important lesson, that "Christ's power is perfected in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9).Jesus taught, and lived out, servant leadership (Mark 10, John 13).Jesus was emotionally vulnerable (e.g. John 11:35).He was connected to others, not a lone wolf.Delayed his ministry till he was in his 30s—as oldest of 8 or more children and head male in a family.Worked with and through others. He knew men need friends, support. Jesus in this way is the paradigmatic male--showing us men how God meant for us to live all along.Doesn't just model it, but walks us through it.Women typically understand this better than men—they're more relational.Probably “macho” isn't the word you'd first apply to Jesus, but in a way he was far more masculine than most men today who are viewed as powerful.It takes strength not to go with the flow (get drunk at a party).Physical fitness – manual labor as stonemason or carpenter; then walking all over Palestine for 3 years!Jesus also showed great emotional strength:It takes strength to forgive (Luke 23).It takes strength to be patient when others repeatedly let you down.It takes strength to receive ugly censure without lashing back, or at least defending yourself.Jesus taught that true greatness doesn't lie in how others serve you, but in how you serve others.We need this message to sound out not only in our communities, in the government, and in the workplace, and evenin the church, where the charismatic alpha-male senior pastor paradigm is dominant!In short, women were expected to be nurturing, caring. One not expected to behave this way—namely, a man—was able to create a more subversively powerful example of love in action.Jesus frees women too, in several ways.He shows that gender doesn't determine worth or rank.Treated women with highest respect – unlike the world.Completely pure in how he viewed women: they were not objects, but subjects.Traditional way of blessing women depended on childbirth – Luke 11:27 – Jesus contradicts this.Discipleship:Luke 10 – called women to spend some time away from daily chores to sit at his feet as disciples. See also Luke 8.John 4 – the Samaritan woman is more the evangelist than the 12 apostles!CONCLUSIONOf course there's more to be said:We haven't even discussed the doctrine of the Trinity – how Jesus Christ was eternally the Son of God. (God couldn't send a "daughter" if he didn't have one.)or the scandal that would have surrounded an itinerant woman preacher gathering disciples…And we've only just begun to work through the implications for the current feminist controversy.I acknowledge the influence of Stanley Grentz's Theology for the Community of God, pp.289-292. For me his work was seminal, and helped me begin to think through this issue.In short, Jesus, in order to accomplish his mission, had to be a man.Not because men are better than women,but because otherwise life-bringing his message would have been:discounteddiluted or obscuredAnd the most effective modeling could only take place—in a patriarchal society—by a man.Hopefully this perspective will prove useful to you in your evangelism, in answering questions from outsiders but also from insiders.

As incredible as it may sound, it is certainly true that this so-called modern civilization is frightfully ugly. It does not even fulfill the transcendental characteristics of aesthetics and is devoid of inner beauty. We greatly boast of those conventional, horrifying structures that resemble mouse holes. The world has become terribly monotonous; everywhere there exist unchanging streets and appalling housing. All this has become tiresome throughout the world, in the north, the south, the east and the west. The same uniformity exists everywhere, horribly nauseating and sterile. “Modernization,” exclaim the multitudes. We resemble vain peacocks with our fine clothes and shiny shoes while here, there and everywhere are unhappy, undernourished, and wretched millions. Simplicity and natural beauty, spontaneous and genuine with no need for vain accessories and cosmetics, has disappeared in the female sex. Nowadays we are modern; such is life. People have grown dreadfully cruel. There is a chill on kindness. Nobody has compassion for anyone anymore. The display windows of luxury stores glisten with extravagant merchandise, which the less fortunate definitely cannot afford. In our society those who are outcast can only gaze upon silks and jewels, costly bottles of perfume and umbrellas for downpours. They can look but they cannot touch, a torment similar to that of Tantalus. The modern human being has become grossly rude. The perfume of friendship and the fragrance of sincerity have, for the most part, disappeared. The teeming masses complain of being overtaxed; everyone has problems; someone owes us or we owe them; we are sued and have nothing with which to pay; worries ravage our brains; nobody lives in peace.… Bureaucrats sustain themselves psychologically upon their smugly curved paunches and fat cigars, while cunningly playing political mind games with absolutely no concern for people’s suffering. Nowadays, no one is happy, least of all those of the middle class who find themselves with their backs to the wall facing the sword. Rich and poor, believers and nonbelievers, merchants and beggars, shoemakers and tinsmiths only live because they must. They drown their torments with wine and even become drug addicts to escape themselves. People have become malicious, suspicious, distrustful, astute and perverse; no one believes in anyone anymore. Every day they invent new conditions, certificates, all kinds of restrictions, documents, credentials, etc., none of which serves a real purpose anymore. The astute mock all this nonsense: they do not pay; they evade the law even though they risk being hauled off to jail. No job provides happiness. The sense of true love has been lost, and people are married today, divorced tomorrow. Lamentably, family unity has been lost. There is no longer an innate sense of modesty. Lesbianism and homosexuality have become as common as drinking a glass of water. The purpose of this book is certainly to find out more about all this, to try to understand the causes of such moral breakdown, to investigate, to seek. I am speaking in an everyday, practical language in hopes of finding out what is hidden behind this horrible masquerade of existence. I am thinking aloud, and let the swindlers of the intellect say whatever they please. Theories have already become humdrum. They are even sold and resold in the marketplace… then what? Theories serve only to worry us and embitter our lives. Goethe rightly said: “Every theory is grey and only the tree of the golden fruits of life is green.” The wretched people are already weary of many theories. Nowadays they talk a great deal about being practical. We need to be practical and really come to know the causes of our sufferings. Samael Aun Weor

It's Wednesday, January 4th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian Muslims kidnapped 53 Christians, killed one on Christmas Fulani Muslim herdsmen in Nigeria, Africa and other terrorists killed one Christian and kidnapped 53 more on Christmas Day in southern Kaduna state. This comes after militants killed 40 believers in the week leading up to Christmas. One local resident said, “Mass graves litter the community and the countryside. Our people can no longer go to their farms for fear of being gunned down or macheted. Lamentably, the Fulani terrorist attacks have continued unabated as they are heard chanting, ‘Allah Akbar [Allah, the moon god, is greater]' during the killing and destructive expeditions.” Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria. GOP conservatives reject Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker The House adjourned without a speaker on Tuesday for the first time in a century after Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy of California failed in a third straight vote for the gavel, reports Politico.com. It comes after 19 Republican conservatives derailed McCarthy's first and second vote to become Speaker, throwing the party further into chaos on their first day in the majority. Twenty House Republicans threw their support behind GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who has repeatedly said he does not want the gavel, which sunk McCarthy's bid to take the position on the opening day of Congress. In fact, Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida slammed Kevin McCarthy as he nominated Jim Jordan. Listen. GAETZ: “Maybe the right person for the job of Speaker of the House isn't someone – [McCarthy] -- who wants it so bad. Maybe the right person for the job of Speaker of the House isn't someone who has sold shares of themselves for more than a decade to get it. (surprised reaction) Maybe Jim Jordan is the right person for Speaker of the House because he is not beholden to the lobbyists and special interests who have corrupted this place and corrupted this nation under the leadership of both Republicans and Democrats. “Maybe Jim Jordan would be the right person for Speaker of the House because he wouldn't fight us when we try to get a term limits bill on the floor. Maybe Jim Jordan would be the right person because he wouldn't fight us when we try to put a balanced budget on the floor and vote for it. And maybe Jim Jordan is the right person because he would endorse the plan that was built by the Texas delegation to finally secure our border.” McCarthy, who can only afford to lose four votes out of the 222 Republican members, is facing an uphill battle to take over the gavel from Nancy Pelosi. Before the vote, Gaetz said, "Those of us who will not be voting for Kevin McCarthy today take no joy in this discomfort that this moment has brought. But if you want to drain the swamp, you cannot put the biggest alligator in charge of the exercise. I'm a Florida man and I know of what I speak.” New York judge allows people to pack heat at church Last Thursday, a U.S. federal judge temporarily blocked a New York State law that prohibits people from carrying firearms in houses of worship.  Pastor Michael Spencer of His Tabernacle Family Church is challenging the law and is represented by First Liberty Institute.  Ryan Gardner with First Liberty said, “Singling out houses of worship for total disarmament demonstrates hostility toward religion, leaves them defenseless to rebuff violent attacks, sticks the state's nose into how religious services are conducted, and defies at least two recent Supreme Court rulings against New York.” Sean Feucht vs. Antifa at defaced San Diego church Antifa members defaced City View Church's building in San Diego, California last week. The church was planning on holding a New Year's Eve worship service led by Christian singer Sean Feucht. Police are investigating the attack as a hate crime. The far-left activists spray painted profanities and threats on the church building. According to a video of one tweet, Feucht told ChurchLeaders.com, “The church isn't a building. We're the bride of Christ and in 2023 we're rising up like never before.” FEUCHT: “Rejoice and be glad. So, that's what we're going to do in San Diego tonight. We've been persecuted. All kinds of crazy stuff has been said. This church has been vandalized. But you know what? Tonight, you're going to see a resilient church. This is a prophetic night for what God is doing in 2023. You're going to see a church rising up in boldness, rising up in courage.” Matthew 5:10-12 says, “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in Heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Court upholds school's right to restrict bathrooms to biological sex Last Friday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Florida school district's anti-transgender policy. The St. Johns County School Board has a bathroom policy that distinguishes students based on biological sex. A female student pretending to be a boy sued the school over the policy.  The ruling noted, “The school board's bathroom policy is clearly related to — indeed, is almost a mirror of — its objective of protecting the privacy interests of students to use the bathroom away from the opposite sex and to shield their bodies from the opposite sex in the bathroom.” Wall Street's worst year since 2008 And finally, Wall Street ended its worst year since 2008 last Friday. All three major stock indices reported painful losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down nearly 8% for 2022. The S&P 500 dropped nearly 20%, and the  tech-heavy Nasdaq fell over 30%. Media and tech companies recorded some of the biggest losses. The Walt Disney Company, Netflix, Comcast and other media groups lost over half a trillion dollars in market value last year. Disney stock, in particular, dropped 45% as the company continues to support sexually perverted lifestyles. Galatians 6:7 says, “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, January 4th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

ALGY    You're the only one I can tell, so I expect you can guess what this is in regards to. BART    [knowing smirk] "Art"? ALGY    Yes.  I was approached last Wednesday week by [wistful] a vision of loveliness-- BART    Male or Female? ALGY    Female, of course!  You know which direction my loveliness runs.  A trim auburn lass with a back like she'd been born on a horse. BART    There is something to be said for centaurs. ALGY    She said she had been referred to me as a leading authority on certain kinds of paintings. BART    [chuckles expectantly] A-ha! ALGY    Well, I am!  And I have the advantage of being outside the normal rope and cap mobs.  BART    Someone with no affiliation to bat for. ALGY    Correct.  [sigh]  She invited me to her country estate, and how could I refuse?  There are untold treasures hidden in mouldering attics throughout the land! BART    Better you than me.  I loathe the country. ALGY    You loathe anything beyond a ten minute walk from this club. BART    Very true.  [arch]  Oh, you've reminded me, we're in a club.  That means there is hot and cold running alcohol to hand.  Shall we?

ALGY    After an hour or so of driving - the place was halfway to Inverness - I came upon a stark silhouette set against a striking sunset.  BART    You paint such pictures with your words. ALGY    I suppose an eye is an eye, for all that.  Checking the coordinates, I discovered I had arrived.  More striking still was the vision of loveliness that greeted me at the door. BART    NOT a butler, then? ALGY    No.  There was some sort of staff about, but she was expecting me, and made certain to be ready upon my arrival. BART    Curiouser and curiouser - a woman who doesn't make one wait an half hour for her entrance?  I like her already.

ALGY    [VO] Give me a moment to wallow in our collective wit, won't you? BART    [VO] One more moment, then.  Proceed. HARRIET     There's a set of rooms that's quite liveable, and a few larger enclosed spaces that might pass for human habitation.  [drops the banter]  I'm hoping - truly - that some of the paintings will be worth enough that I can sell them and [loving] rescue the poor house.  [clipped again] You did say you have contacts and know people who might be looking to buy? ALGY    I shall do the best for you that I can. ALGY    [VO] And I would.  Whatever my other interests are, once I give my word, I always keep it. BART    [VO] Particularly to such a lovely young thing, eh, wot? HARRIET     It's very kind of you. ALGY    Well, I do expect to make some little commission on it, of course. HARRIET     Of course.  Right through here. MUSIC   SCENE 3    THE CLUB ROOM SOUND    ALGY DRINKS ALGY    [disgusted sigh] and it was ... tragic. BART    Strong word. ALGY    Strong feeling.  The room she took me into was hung with a dozen limp landscapes. BART    Limp? ALGY    Oh, you know the type "Aunt so-and so painted this in 1860 on the French Riveria". Or "Grandmama was always well regarded for her eye for beauty". BART    Good night.  And after such a long drive! ALGY    And watching that look of hope slide off her dainty face.  The light going out in her hazel eyes. MUSIC   SCENE 4    INSIDE THE HOUSE SOUND    SLIGHT CREAKS WHEN THEY WALK HARRIET     That bad? ALGY    I may be able to get you an odd bob or so - perhaps from an American.  Not more. HARRIET     Oh.  ALGY    It happens to the best of us. ALGY    [VO] She turned away, and the line of her shoulders spoke volumes. BART    [VO] Reading her shoulders?  On a first date? [chuckles] ALGY    I-I-- Perhaps I should... go? HARRIET     No.  [coming to a decision, almost teary]  I... Can I trust you? ALGY    Goodness, would anyone say no to that? HARRIET     [burst of laughter]  Goodness be blowed!  I'm going to take a chance.  People have said good things about you.  Come along. SOUND    WALKING, CREAKING, UNDER VO ALGY    [VO] She took me deep into the bowels of the house, into some sort of secret room.  I watched closely as she tweaked various odds and sods on a rococo mantlepiece, and a panel slid open. SOUND    CREAK AS PANEL SHIFTS SOUND    HOLLOW MOANING WIND HARRIET     There's a family ghost, but it's benign. ALGY    Spirits have never bothered me. ALGY    [VO] And in this room - by gad! BART    [VO] Yes? ALGY    [VO] Arrayed around the walls were a good dozen of what looked like genuine Old masters.  Undiscovered, possibly unknown. BART    [VO] Real?  ALGY    Real? HARRIET    Yes, but.  Problematic. ALGY    How so? HARRIET    Apparently, according to unverifiable family lore, one of our ancestors was quite the notorious bandit. ALGY    Bandit? HARRIET    Highwayman, I believe they called the titled ones.  He raided everything within a week's ride, they say, and stashed most of the boodle here.  Everything that could be sold easily, went long ago.  Gold, jewels, things like that. ALGY    Well, if they were stolen so long ago, I doubt there would be any debate as to the ownership. HARRIET    [very doubtful] Oh... I'm sure. It's just... ALGY    Yes? HARRIET    [pitiable]  There's no money.  Not a sou.  I can't possibly defend even the slightest case.  A solitary whisper of doubt, and I'll lose everything. ALGY    I see. HARRIET    And without concrete provenance, there's no legitimate way I can sell even one of these.  Tragic, isn't it? ALGY    There are plenty of people who would buy, provenance or no.  You might not get full measure, but that all depends on your patience and negotiating talent. HARRIET    [exasperated] Buyers there may be, but I wouldn't know where to find them!  ALGY    I would. HARRIET    [still fuming, not hearing him immediately] And even if I did, I wouldn't know the first thing to say-- [breaks off, realizing] What? ALGY    I know all the right people.  If you can trust me with any one of those, I'll get you top dollar. HARRIET    But why would you help me?  And how can I possibly trust you? ALGY    Oh, I'll take my standard commission, of course.  And I'll play you fair on the first one, if for no other reason than in hope that you'll let me take on the rest. HARRET    [worried musing] It's a big step.  The mere thought of letting them out of my sight terrifies me.  It's not as if I have insurance or anything.  If the worst should happen - I'd be lost. ALGY    If I could, I would buy one outright from you - at a discount, you understand - and hazard a chance I could make a profit.  But these are far out of my range, unless I were to insult you by offering a pittance. HARRIET    A pittance would at least keep body and soul together until you were able to sell it.  Could you - manage something in a down payment?  Even just call it an assurance - we could write up a contract and everything! ALGY    Oh, I don't think we need go that far.  But I could advance you something, if you don't mind waiting a day or two.  HARRIET    [musing] Let's see - a day or two for you to get back, then I have to arrange a lift into the city, to get to the bank, and back.... ALGY    [amused] Are you hinting that you would prefer cash? HARRIET    Am I that transparent?  [sweetly]  I used to be quite a good liar, I'm told, but desperation does wear one's nerve a bit thin.  And the local shops no longer honor this house with credit. ALGY    I could manage, say, a thousand pounds assurance.  If you'll let me take that small one. HARRIET    A thousand?  You think this is worth so much? ALGY    Ten times that, at least.  HARRIET    My hero!  I'll have it crated and ready for transport when you return, will that be all right? ALGY    Certainly. MUSIC   SCENE 5    THE CLUB ROOM BART    You didn't. ALGY    I did. BART    And which one of the limp landscapes did you purchase for a thousand pounds? ALGY    [sigh] A rather dreadful view of some lighthouse that's slightly off plumb. BART    [laughs heartily]  And what do you plan to do about it? ALGY    What do you think? BART    Can you find your way back in again? ALGY    I believe so.  I truly would have played fair with her, but... BART    What can she expect?  Swindling a notorious art thief like "The Badger"? MUSIC - TIME PASSES   SCENE 6    THE CLUB ROOM - NEXT DAY SOUND    DOOR OPENS ALGY    [entering melodramatically]  Oh, Bart!  Bart, my old chum!  All is lost! SOUND    DOOR SHUTS BART    Sit, dear boy.  Sit and tell!  Is this your enchanting titian-haired siren? ALGY    Enchanting!  Enchantress is more like it! BART    Why?  Don't tell me you couldn't get back into her secret painting room? ALGY    [chortles sarcastically] Oh-ho-ho.  It's far worse than that. BART    Ah.  Good thing I laid on some rather strong liquor when I got your cable.  Drink up. ALGY    [drinks]  There's really not much to tell. BART    I hope you have more than that!  This is expensive stuff! ALGY    I got into the house.  Even managed to find the right combination of whorls on the carving - she'd pushed a number of extra thingumees, did I mention that? BART    So she knew you were watching? ALGY    [sighing admission] Yes.  She's frightfully brilliant. BART    Let me get this straight - this charming chit of a girl has fooled you twice, and yet you still admire her? ALGY    I admire her because she has fooled me twice. BART    And her loveliness has nothing to do with it? ALGY    Well... [smiling] it certainly doesn't hurt. BART    [beat] So... you got into the room. ALGY    Yes.  Yes.  I got in.  BART    [exasperated] And? ALGY    Every one of the frames that I had so closely examined not two weeks before was filled... with landscapes! BART    THE landscapes? ALGY    For all I know she has an infinite supply of the blasted things!  [sudden realization] By Jove! BART    What? ALGY    I can't believe it never occurred to me before - what if I'm not the first? BART    Whatever do you mean? ALGY    What if this little minx has pulled this same trick on other so-called art dealers? BART    [chuckles]  Are you outraged at her daring, or because she didn't pick you first? ALGY    There she was, dressed in plain homespun, crying infinite poverty, when she may have just held up half the crooked daub handlers in Piccadilly! BART    I can see why you admire her. ALGY    The beast! BART    I can't wait to meet her. ALGY    Wretch! BART    You'll have to bring her around sometime. ALGY    What? BART    Well, you are going to see her again, aren't you? ALGY    You old dog.  You know everything.  [beat]  She should be here any minute. BART    Then I expect it's a good thing I've dropped a word here and there about a niece who might be coming into town any day now, isn't it? ALGY    I don't know why I even try-- SOUND    KNOCK AT DOOR BART    Yes? SOUND    DOOR OPENS, BUTLER ENTERS BUTLER    Sir, there is a young lady here to see mister Algernon Winthrop.  I told her merely that I would inquire...? BART    Proper, as always.  Don't give her any definite answer, there's a good chap, but bring her on up.  BUTLER    [slightly miffed]  Very good, sir. SOUND    DOOR CLOSES BART    That.  That is definitely the sound he would make if I placed an order for anything substandard. ALGY    I say, Bart, hide me, would you? BART    What and leave your young lady entirely in my clutches? ALGY    I know you'll get something out of her, and all the more if she doesn't realize I'm here.  BART    [indulgent] That door there.  It has a lovely large keyhole, and a connection to the corridor.  I'll ferret out whatever she's hiding.  You'll get your hands on those paintings yet. ALGY    Oh, I already have plans for that.  BART    Oh?  What--? SOUND    KNOCK ON DOOR. SOUND    SCRAMBLE AS ALGY HIDES SOUND    HIS DOOR QUIETLY CREAKS SHUT BART    [calling] Come in. SOUND    HER DOOR OPENS SOUND    BART POURS DRINK BUTLER    [introductions]  Miss Harriet Carter-Nelson.  Mister Bartholomew Heatheredge. SOUND    FOOTSTEPS, DOOR SHUTS [NOTE:  from this point until she "overplays her hand", BART and ALGY are pulling a con on Harriet to get her to trade back the painting] BART    [suddenly stern]  Please have a seat, Miss Carter-Nelson.  I pray you won't take offense at my not rising, but my gout has been simply murder this past week. HARRIET    [uncertain]  But... I was invited here by Mister Winthrop? BART    I have sent him on some trifling errand, in hopes that we might finish our business without his interference.  HARRIET    Business? BART    Poor Algy has a lamentably sentimental nature when it comes to these things. HARRIET    Pray enlighten me of "these things" that you are speaking of? BART    I assume you will not be adverse to endorsing this. SOUND    PAPER PRODUCED WITH A FLOURISH HARRIET    What is it?  [almost a laugh] A bill of sale?  For-- BART    The painting currently in Mr. Winthrop's possession. HARRIET    But it's-- BART    Practically worthless?  Nonetheless, Mr. Winthrop requests that you make it over to him in its entirety, in return for monies which have already changed hands - to wit, one thousand pounds. HARRIET    Why should he want to claim ownership of the silly thing? BART    [fraught with ominous meaning] Why indeed.  [brisk] All you need concern yourself with is your signature on that document, placing the item into legal custody of my client. HARRIET    Client? BART    Did he fail to mention that I am his family solicitor? HARRIET    [worried]  Solicitor.  Yes, I believe he overlooked that. BART    Come, come.  He won't be gone all day. HARRIET    No.  I would like to hear the reason for this. BART    [furious] Miss Carter-Nelson!  I am not here to give explanations, merely to get one of two outcomes from you - and while my preference would be for you to regain your painting, and my client his money, that is undoubtedly out of the question.  Should the need arise, I am also prepared to begin legal proceedings. HARRIET    [gasp] SOUND    KNOCK ALGY    [outside] I say, Bart, have you got someone in there? BART    Drat. HARRIET    [musing] Lamentably sentimental, you say? BART    Mister Winthrop, perhaps you would-- HARRIET    [loud, over him, cheery] Come in! SOUND    DOOR OPENS, ALGY ENTERS ALGY    Good gracious!  Are you keeping secrets from me, old man? BART    I am merely trying to legitimize the transaction that passed between you two-- HARRIET    [flirty] He's trying to get me to sign over all ownership of that painting. ALGY    Oh!  Good job.  Go on. HARRIET    You... you actually WANT it? ALGY    [hinting] It's not a matter of what I want-- BART    [cutting him off]  AHEM.  It's a matter of making the entire situation clear and above board.  The painting has more than been compensated for.  HARRIET    [suspicious] What do you plan to do with it? BART    [rising irritation] That is none of your concern!  The only thing that needs to happen here and now is for you to transfer title or return my client's deposit. HARRIET    This is hardly fair.  I should need to consult a solicitor as well - see to it that this bill of sale is proper and aboveboard! BART    You're right, of course.  If you will give me the name of your solicitor, I can contact him directly.  [muttered]  Probably best to have him on hand, regardless, just in case Mr. Winthrop decides to take my advice as to... legal action. HARRIET    Mr. Winthrop, I just want to-- ALGY    You can call me Algernon, if you like, Miss Carter-Nelson. HARRIET    [hesitant, confused]  Algernon.  Very well, but I-- ALGY    And perhaps I might be allowed to call you Harriet? HARRIET    [a bit wry]  Will it help convince you this does not require legal action if we are on a first name basis? ALGY    [laughs]  Perhaps. HARRIET    [slightly wheedling] Will it help convince you to let me in on the big secret about the... uh... painting in question?  ALGY    Oh, that.  It's really quite simple-- BART    Ahem. ALGY    [fatuous] Hush, Barty. I know how to handle women. BART    AHEM! ALGY    Shall I ring and have someone bring you a lozenge?  No?  Very well.  [confidential, pleased]  Now Harriet.  I can take a joke as well as the next fellow.  Don't you agree? HARRIET    You've been a pip. ALGY    And I'm sure you feel that perhaps I've only got what I deserve, as I may very well have been on the verge of stealing your lovely old master, or at the very least short-changing such a poor but lovely young heiress. HARRIET    You would be surprised how many might consider such dastardly deeds, given our relative positions. ALGY    [annoyed] How many?  [smooth again]  Well, I can assure you that I would have played fair with you - and got you the best possible deal--   BART    That is all moot.  Why don't you just null the entire transaction and give the painting back.  The colonel-- [catching himself in a mistake] I mean, the person in question - ahem - has stated a clear unwillingness to own any piece of dubious origin. ALGY    A-HEM. HARRIET    [musing] A Colonel? ALGY    I suppose you must have realized by now that I have a potential buyer for the painting, and that I will be making back - mm - more than my thousand.  HARRIET    For that drab thing? ALGY    Some pieces sell on merit, others on sentiment.  The best salesmen are those who find the right customers. HARRIET    How much? BART    As far as you are concerned, it is one thousand pounds, already paid, and an agreement on my client's part not to litigate for false pretenses. HARRIET    No, really, [very warm] Algernon.  How much? ALGY    [melting] I've been offered five thousand, but only with a clear title. HARRIET    [shock] Five? For Great Aunt Ermintrude's "Impressions of a Baltic Lighthouse?" BART    [muttered] A leaning Baltic lighthouse. ALGY    [annoyed]  A Baltic lighthouse a certain colonel recognizes as a place near where he was once stationed in his youth.  A place he used to meet his one true love. HARRIET    [amazed]  Truly? ALGY    So he says, and I was of no mind to disabuse him. HARRIET    Suddenly I have been hit with a terrible guilt complex about having taken such foul advantage of you.  ALGY    Oh really? HARRIET    Such a sentimental streak - I never would have suspected it. ALGY    I hide it well. BART    [snort of laughter turned into cough] HARRIET    I think the best way to handle this is to give you your money back and call it all even. ALGY    Oh, really? HARRIET    Yes.  And, just to show what a good sport I am, I'd - I'd like to make a present of the silly thing to your friend -um- colonel, uh...?  [hinting] ALGY    [breaks down laughing] BART    I fear you've overplayed your hand, young lady. HARRIET    I?  Whatever do you mean? ALGY    You are adorable. HARRIET    [offended] You make it sound as if I was a puppy! ALGY    [still trying to stop laughing] No, no, no.  You are far cleverer than any puppy. HARRIET    I should hope so.  [huff]  I think this is where I should take my leave. ALGY    [suddenly sober]  No.  HARRIET    [wary]  Why? ALGY    There's still the matter of my money. HARRIET    Get it from your colonel! SOUND    A BIT OF A SCUFFLE AS HE STOPS HER FROM LEAVING BART    Here now!  Here now!  I will not have this!  Sit down, both of you! SOUND    THEY BREAK APART WITH A GASP BART    I said sit!  SOUND    CHAIR NOISES SOUND    DRINKS POURED BART    I have the perfect answer to this dilemma, if you will just be quiet and listen. ALGY    He probably does.  He's very clever. HARRIET    I think you both find yourselves too clever by half. ALGY    You fit in quite nicely, then, don't you? BART    How odd.  I distinctly recall-- Did I not say to be quiet?  ALGY    [teasing] We'll be good, papa. HARRIET    Are you planning to mete out justice like old king Solomon? BART    Do you want half a painting?  [beat]  Good.  Now.  The way I see it, your problem, Miss Carter-Nelson, is you wish to preserve your home, and are going about it in this rather nefarious manner.  HARRIET    Well... BART    This is no time for prevarication, miss --Harriet. HARRIET    I am using what little I have to save my home.  Yes.  BART    Very well. HARRIET    And if I happen to take slight advantage over those who otherwise would have taken similar advantage of me-- ALGY    I already told you, Harriet darling, I would never have-- HARRIET    But I couldn't know that, could I? BART    Hush!  [beat]  I swear you bicker like-- well, we'll leave that for the moment.  [chuckles]  And your problem, dear boy, is you would love to get your hands on the lovely old masters this young woman consorts with. HARRIET    [amused] You make it sound quite filthy! ALGY    [quiet] Not the only thing.  [up] Yes.  I would love to be the one to discover such lovely pieces and be able to find them good homes.  Even legitimate ones. BART    Oh, well then - the answer is simple. HARRIET    Oh?  Really? BART    You two should marry. HARRIET    [startled, outraged] What? ALGY    Capital idea.  Was thinking something along those lines myself. HARRIET    oh!  [indignant gasp]  Here! SOUND    PURSE CLICKS OPEN, COUNT OUT MONEY HARRIET    Here is your blasted thousand pounds. SOUND    MONEY TOSSED ON TABLE SOUND    PURSE SNAPPED SHUT HARRIET    [huff] Good day! SOUND    SHE LEAVES, SLAMMING THE DOOR BART    [chuckle] She suits you.  ALGY    [confident] Just a matter of time. BART    Make sure to send along some of the wedding cake, there's a good chap.  THE END ANNOUNCER    [credits]

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, we bring you the best of Mark Levin on Labor Day. While the establishment claims that Republican candidates are running on the unconstitutional raid at Mar-a-Lago it simply isn't true. Despite much talk about it, candidates must run on their records and against President Biden's. Lamentably, there is no establishment media for the conservative movement so 'We The People' must fight like we're behind, in order to win seats in Congress this November. Then, the media portrays the midterm elections as a national election but not a single candidate will represent the nation. Instead, they will represent individual congressional districts so one should view much of this data as skewed and be skeptical of it. Then, President Biden gave an address from Independence Hall in Philadelphia where the American Revolution was launched. Biden and the Democrats keep alienating and lying to the American people and the people keep pretending to believe it. Afterward, isn't the open border an attack on democracy? Why is Biden funding the police? Because the Democrats defunded them and now cities across America are suffering. Incidentally, the Democrats blame the Republicans for this. Afterward, Mikhail Gorbachev passed away. Gorbachev was critical of Putin saying he's created a sham democracy.

This week on The Mark Levin Show, while the establishment claims that Republican candidates are running on the unconstitutional raid at Mar-a-Lago it simply isn't true. Despite much talk about it, candidates must run on their records and against President Biden's. Lamentably, there is no establishment media for the conservative movement so 'We The People' must fight like we're behind, in order to win seats in Congress this November. President Biden will give a speech to explain how democracy is under attack, not by China, Iran, or Russia, but by conservative Republicans. This is from the same Joe Biden who has supported racist segregationists, tried to destroy the first black Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, and denied the first Black woman nominated to the high court, Janice Rogers Brown. Clearly, Biden knows who is writing the history books so he's doing whatever he wants, and he doesn't care if he turns Americans against each other.  The DOJ filing defended their Mar-A-Lago search and the unauthorized removal of former President Trump's passports stating that it was necessary to stop the threat to national security posed by the three classified documents they found in Trump's desk. 'Hiding' documents on one's desk is the best way to hide them and commit obstruction, right? The DOJ and the media are working together to create much ado about nothing. In a move that can only be classified as truly "California," the state asks residents not to charge electric vehicles, days after announcing gas car ban.

Instead, they will represent individual congressional districts so one should view much of this data as skewed and be skeptical of it. Later, despite the FBI's prior delays they have now reviewed all of Donald Trump's documents in record speed before the court could appoint an independent special master to protect privileged information. This program believes that the Judge should request the names of anyone that reviewed any documents, and their chain of custody, after it was announced on Saturday that the Court was leaning toward appointing a special master. Afterward, the FBI Agent that led the investigation into former President Trump, Tim Thibault, has been escorted from the office. Reports suggest he may have resigned for misleading Merrick Garland and FBI director Christopher Wray regarding the raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, President Biden is not only stupid by birth, but he is dangerous as well. He is the reason for increased gas, propane, crude oil prices, and an economy in crisis. Now Biden is draining America's strategic reserve by releasing a million barrels a day for the next several months to try and fix the mess he made. Yet the real answer here is to drill and produce more energy to create a surplus. Once there is more supply there will be less demand. Lamentably, Biden won't allow the current leases to gain the permits to develop the infrastructure to drill on approved lease sites. Then, today the Biden Administration recognized Transgender Day of Visibility. The U.S doesn't need to be in the business of promoting genitalia. Later, the Biden family is bought and paid for and there must be a special counsel to investigate the malfeasance of the Biden Family and Merrick Garland is too mired in his own controversy for the task. When it was Trump's family the lawyers worked overtime to accuse them of crimes. The Washington Post covered up Hunter's laptop, saying the story was Russian disinformation only to admit it was real 500 days after Biden took office. Afterward, Sen. Ron Johnson, Chairman of the U.S Senate Homeland Security Committee, joins the show to explain how Joe Biden was implicated on Hunter Biden's laptop and how this is the beginning of many questions. Sadly, the U.S doesn't have all the answers, but the intelligence agencies of China and 12 other countries likely know more than we do.

Mark Levin. Deterrence not Escalation. Mark Levin Podcast The Best of Mark Levin  Mar 19 2022   On the Best of Mark Levin, Sen Lindsey Graham should not be taking heat for calling for the assassination of Vladimir Putin, a man who has unleashed Chechen assassins against the president of Ukraine and attacked their largest nuclear power plant. The more appeasement you show in the face of aggressive military action like Russia, the more brutal and aggressive they will become. Putin is now deciding what can and cannot be used on the battlefield. Specifically, regarding the MIG-29's the Pentagon says Ukraine doesn't need them because they won't be beneficial. Isn't it Ukraine that knows exactly what it needs and decides what's beneficial for their survival? Interestingly, when Trump was president, he was undermined by the Pentagon, by the FBI, and these same characters are covering for Biden's interference in the transfer of older U.S fighter jets to Poland so that Poland could donate MIG-29 jets to Ukraine. Putin is escalating his attack on civilians in Ukraine as he did in Syria and Chechnya. Yet all the media can do is say how terrible it is, but surmise that nothing can be done because Putin will nuke us if we get involved. However, the U.S has taken on the Soviets in many proxy wars in years past. When Russia invaded Afghanistan it paid a high price - 100,000 casualties. Lamentably, there is a fifth column within the conservative movement who supports Putin, who has clearly declared the U.S as an enemy. Some of them claim to be 'America First', yet none of this occurred during Trump's presidency. Putin has always wanted Ukraine and he's admitted to it. Our federal government, State Department, and White House are afraid of a stalemate between Ukraine and Russia because they feel Putin will use nuclear weapons. China has now pledged to financially support Russia in financing their war. So, the Ukrainians will continue suffering because Putin doesn't care if he has to gas them in order to win.   For a great overview of Daily Ukrainian Report with maps and current videos visit- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM-eRxEc_TutiPIbOS1YYbw Highly Recommended by ACU.   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Vladimir Putin is a genocidal thug. This program has been clear in explaining why Ukraine is important to America and how specious Russia's claims are.  Despite the minimal support Ukraine has received, their gutsy president and cabinet have remained steadfast in their defense. It's appalling to call yourself a conservative and support Putin. Lamentably, there is a fifth column within the conservative movement who supports Putin, who has clearly declared the U.S as an enemy. Some of them claim to be 'America First', yet none of this occurred during Trump's presidency. Putin has always wanted Ukraine and he's admitted to it. Then, President Biden has placed more sanctions on the American energy industry than he has on Russia's energy industry. The courageous stories of Ukrainians preparing to defend their homes and neighborhoods with homemade Molotov cocktails, rifles, and pistols matter because what happens in Ukraine matters. Churchill once said if the enemy is taking you down, take at least one of them with you. Later, Texas gubernatorial candidate and retired Army Lt. Col. Allen West says that putting the stranglehold on American energy has been painful and we must do the same to Russia. West added that the Democrats' policies are not only destroying our country and US foreign policy but have led to the decay of African American families as well. Afterward, Curtis Sliwa former New York City mayoral candidate joins the show to give his thoughts on Putin.

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, the attack on Pearl Harbor sparked America's entrance into World War II. Many enlisted to serve their country, some were relatives of this program. The sacrifice and patriotism by these men were great, nothing like the men of our current administration. Lamentably, the writing is on the wall for a war with China which threatens many countries. Russia is expanding aggressively and will likely invade Ukraine again. Iran is months away from having a nuclear weapon and is prepared to go to war. President Biden is not prepared for the coming conflict. Then, former Ambassador and National Security Advisor Ric Grenell calls in to share how the Reagan Library's board has dramatically changed to eliminate Reaganites and Trump supporters. Grenell added that the rise of China has been steady as they infiltrated the power structure of many institutions. The U.S must refrain from doing business with the CCP. Later, the philosophy of Americanism embraces things that are proven to have worked for the betterment of society. This was the difference between Trump and the Democrats, it was peace and common sense versus uncertainty and a radical leftist ideology. Afterward, Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany calls in to discuss her new book "For Such a Time as This: My Faith Journey through the White House and Beyond." https://www.amazon.com/Such-Time-This-Journey-through/dp/1637582358/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Kayleigh+McEnany&qid=1638819297&sr=8-3 McEnany highlights her time in the Trump White House and how her faith guided her in through the lies and vitriol of the media.

Hey everyone! For episode 4, Eric flies solo as Dylan was under the weather. Joining me, all the way from France (by way of Jolly 'Ol), is KANGE, rapper, producer and all around amazing human being who got her start (and name) at university. They talk about the creative process, being so talented at an early age, self esteem and how music helps, social media, and of course, finding out that she is originally from London...FOOTBALL. Lamentably, KANGE is an Arsenal fan, but by far the best Gunner supporter that I have ever had the pleasure of speaking to. (Actually, she is the ONLY Gunner that I could say it WAS a pleasure to speak to, LOL.) Kidding of course, we support everyone regardless of the team they support...unless of course it's Spurs. No one wants them as a friend. Ahem, I digress. KANGE is incredibly talented, intelligent, and a joy to talk to. I can't wait to see what else is in store in her future, because it is absolutely bright, and then we'll be able to say that we were in on the ground floor!

Three hours and fifty-six minutes… &#%!?!@ ME! Yes, that is the correct number of symbols. And yes, you will croak it ignorant of that which they substitute. Pluck mirth from ambiguity for once in your damned lives.For the select many of you who scarcely acknowledge the existence of Lithuania, let alone scan its deci-county crime news, let alone peruse the lawless specifics of each municipality, let alone keep abreast of the felonious minutiae of each elderate (or seniūnija) - a little Googling goes a long way, you think I care? - Arturas Lanka has recidivised himself into the pen. This time, for compromising the constitutional integrity of some precious garden gnomes in a permanent fashion by means of mallet. I don’t know whose, what, why, I can only feign focus for so long.Point is, Pfidze was in a right state. Faced with the prospect of an evening with an unbearably weepy blimp weeping over international calls (on my penny) to weepy foreign relations AND basking in the renewal of the beer garden, I made haste. Lamentably, fiancé Dexter Chisp was encircling (as ever) and he cunningly cloaked appendage in the guise of “getting-to-know-each-other”. I was forced to yield.Consequently, reinforcement was required. No way was I prepared to pre-celebrate my retirement in the wake of Chisp’s punishing benevolence and girly laugh. And so summoned were Ignatius Pusk and Avraham Rechels, the former my nominal solicitor and the latter an Israeli bouncer with whom, yes, I can be friends, thank you very much.Eventually, we were admitted to MY local, The Wattle. Avi and Ignatius bickered over stem-cell therapy as per. Dexter launched into a saccharine interrogation, which I was mostly able to parry.And then I saw her. Marjorie Ipple, my 2020 honey. Sipping wine opposite some twatty-moustached boob. The past is the past, of course, and I couldn’t possibly have cared less and somebody must have slipped something into my Samuel Adams and a foggy whirlwind of crazed jigging and savage epithets and blue pirouetting lights and hiding behind a bin? and being shoulder-shlepped and lamb shish and home and a knuckle fracture?All told, he’s an alright bloke, that Dexter.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ website.THE QUESTION: Why did the man Jesus come to earth? Why not a woman: the daughter of God—a female Messiah?JESUS CAME AS A SON NOT BECAUSE:Male is better -- Galatians 3:28 contradicts this.God is only analogically masculine, not sexually masculine. When we pray Our Father, it’s not because God is male – since he isn’t a sexual being. If this intrigues you, please hear the podcast on The Shack.Random genetics (50/50).LAMENTABLY, WOMEN WERE DISCOUNTED IN THE ANCIENT WORLDChristianity hadn't transformed attitudes towards minorities, the disenfranchised, foreigners, the needy, women--since Christianity did not exist yet. Jesus entered a Jewish world.Would be discounted in Roman eyes:“Only foolish and low individuals, and persons devoid of perception, and slaves, and women, and children, of whom the teachers of the divine word wish to make converts” -- Celsus in Origen, Contra Celsus, 3.49"...Augustus confined women to the back rows even at gladiatorial shows: the only ones exempt from this rule being the Vestal Virgins… No women at all were allowed to witness the athletic contests…" -- Suetonius, Twelve Caesars, Augustus 44.Would be discounted by Judaism:"... happy is he whose children are males, and woe to him whose children are females." -- Talmud Kiddushim 82b"But let not the testimony of women be admitted, on account of the levity and boldness of their sex, not let servants be admitted to give testimony on account of the ignobility of their soul, since it is probable that they may not speak truth, either out of hope of gain, or fear of punishment." -- Josephus Antiquities 4.8.15"Sooner let the words of the Law be burnt than delivered to women." -- Talmud Sotah 19a"Any evidence which a woman [gives] is not valid, also they are not valid [to offer]. This is equivalent to saying that one who is accounted by the rabbis as a robber is qualified to give the same evidence as a woman." -- Talmud Rosh Hashannah 1.8Yet some Talmudic passages are more positive towards women, like Niddah 45 and Ketubot 2.6-7.(Compare to Islamic view: Female legal witness worth half that of a male “because of deficiencies of a woman’s mind.”  -- Hadith of Bukhari, 3.826) BUT BECAUSE ONLY A MAN COULD FREE BOTH MEN AND WOMENLiberates males from stereotype (and rut) of maleness: "strong, dominating, independent, self-sufficient"Jesus taught Paul the important lesson, that "Christ's power is perfected in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9).Jesus taught, and lived out, servant leadership (Mark 10, John 13).Jesus was emotionally vulnerable (e.g. John 11:35).He was connected to others, not a lone wolf.Delayed his ministry till he was in his 30s—as oldest of 8 or more children and head male in a family.Worked with and through others. He knew men need friends, support. Jesus in this way is the paradigmatic male--showing us men how God meant for us to live all along.Doesn’t just model it, but walks us through it.Women typically understand this better than men—they're more relational.Probably “macho” isn’t the word you’d first apply to Jesus, but in a way he was far more masculine than most men today who are viewed as powerful.It takes strength not to go with the flow (get drunk at a party).Physical fitness – manual labor as stonemason or carpenter; then walking all over Palestine for 3 years!Jesus also showed great emotional strength:It takes strength to forgive (Luke 23).It takes strength to be patient when others repeatedly let you down.It takes strength to receive ugly censure without lashing back, or at least defending yourself.Jesus taught that true greatness doesn't lie in how others serve you, but in how you serve others.We need this message to sound out not only in our communities, in the government, and in the workplace, and evenin the church, where the charismatic alpha-male senior pastor paradigm is dominant!In short, women were expected to be nurturing, caring. One not expected to behave this way—namely, a man—was able to create a more subversively powerful example of love in action.Jesus frees women too, in several ways.He shows that gender doesn’t determine worth or rank.Treated women with highest respect – unlike the world.Completely pure in how he viewed women: they were not objects, but subjects.Traditional way of blessing women depended on childbirth – Luke 11:27 – Jesus contradicts this.Discipleship:Luke 10 – called women to spend some time away from daily chores to sit at his feet as disciples. See also Luke 8.John 4 – the Samaritan woman is more the evangelist than the 12 apostles!CONCLUSIONOf course there’s more to be said:We haven’t even discussed the doctrine of the Trinity – how Jesus Christ was eternally the Son of God. (God couldn't send a "daughter" if he didn't have one.)or the scandal that would have surrounded an itinerant woman preacher gathering disciples…And we've only just begun to work through the implications for the current feminist controversy.I acknowledge the influence of Stanley Grentz's Theology for the Community of God, pp.289-292. For me his work was seminal, and helped me begin to think through this issue.In short, Jesus, in order to accomplish his mission, had to be a man.Not because men are better than women,but because otherwise life-bringing his message would have been:discounteddiluted or obscuredAnd the most effective modeling could only take place—in a patriarchal society—by a man.Hopefully this perspective will prove useful to you in your evangelism, in answering questions from outsiders but also from insiders.

A Reading of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. -  Letter from a Birmingham JailJoin us every Thursday of this Black History month to capture readings from the famous letter from Birmingham jail. Carl Jones, voiceover actor will be reading portions of the passionate letter that helps us to see the importance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s message and impact. So much of what he states in this letter is applicable for today as we wrestle again with the fight against racial injustice, Dr. King and his associates had some major approaches that we today can learn from and solve many issues that have already been faced before. We celebrate Dr. King and his legacy with his own words read aloud to be remember for years to come. The Words of Dr. Martin Luther King,  Jr:"One of the basic points in your statement is that the action that I and my associates have taken in Birmingham is untimely. Some have asked: "Why didn't you give the new city administration time to act?" The only answer that I can give to this query is that the new Birmingham administration must be prodded about as much as the outgoing one, before it will act. We are sadly mistaken if we feel that the election of Albert Boutwell as mayor will bring the millennium to Birmingham. While Mr. Boutwell is a much more gentle person than Mr. Connor, they are both segregationists, dedicated to maintenance of the status quo. I have hope that Mr. Boutwell will be reasonable enough to see the futility of massive resistance to desegregation. But he will not see this without pressure from devotees of civil rights. My friends, I must say to you that we have not made a single gain in civil rights without determined legal and nonviolent pressure. Lamentably, it is an historical fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily. Individuals may see the moral light and voluntarily give up their unjust posture; but, as Reinhold Niebuhr has reminded us, groups tend to be more immoral than individuals.We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was "well timed" in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This "Wait" has almost always meant "Never." We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that "justice too long delayed is justice denied."Taken from full text from a "Letter from a Birmingham Jail: by Martin Luther King, Jr.Episodes Edited by: Juels N.

Hebrews 13:7-8, 17 ESV 7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you. HONOR YOUR LEADERS. Because of their faith, persecutions were common to Christians. Consequently, their leaders are the prime targets. They bore the shame attaching to their faith of Christ and had persevered in good works. Some of them did not survive. In this context, we are enjoined to remember them, with the focus to consider ‘who they were.' Official status was not yet defined and official titles were not yet universal during these times. In other words, their integrity stood out and spoke volumes, making them worthy examples to others. Since their lives were worth emulating, believers were enjoined to imitate their faith, that is, the way they live. For most leaders in the world, their oratorical or communication skills are given with primary importance. Whereas, for the spiritual leaders, their manner of life is. The manner of life of the pastor is closely entwined with his ministry. How he lives matters greatly. They may do things professionally, but they're not professionals. A professional [e.g. lawyer, doctor, engineer, etc.] may live a double-life. Yet, his effectiveness isn't hampered, if ever, it's significantly minimal. On the other hand, it's unthinkable, even unacceptable, if a spiritual leader has known moral issues. Though not perfect, he must be ‘above reproach'. [1 Tim 3:2] Who they are matter most than what they do. What is the reason of their tenacity in their faith? It's because of the immutability of Jesus, the object of their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. It's incumbent for all of us, therefore, to ‘look to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.'[Heb 12:2] However, we need respectable spiritual leaders like Paul, who said, ‘Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.'[1 Cor 11:1]. Thus, Paul had recognized that his life had effectively influenced the believers in Thessalonica for Christ. He said, “And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit.” [1 Thess 1:6] Having seen their exemplary manner of life, we are enjoined to ‘obey and submit to them.'[see v.17] We do submit only to somebody who we trust, don't we? They are called to watch souls, with the purpose of care and protection. [see Acts 20:28] However, could they do it joyfully if we are either reluctant or resistant ourselves? This old adage is so true, “It's better to watch a thousand cattles than to do it for one soul.” Paul had expressed this pressure when he said, “And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches.” [2 Cor 11:28] Lamentably, our religious world is littered with ‘spiritual predators' as wolves in sheeps clothing. Some of us may have been victims to their wily schemes. Thereby, we had lost trust to any leader, today. Don't throw the baby with the bath water. Or, you may be blessed by a good communicator or preacher via the internet in this Covid-19 locked down season. We give credit to the advances in technology for this. But, you can know for certain only the manner of life of your pastor at your home church – their dedication, sincerity and compassion. Thus, be prayerful, supportive and loyal to their leadership. Your pastor does only exercise leadership well if you offer it to him, doesn't he?

Lamentably, the Covid-19 crisis has gotten so out of hand that the stakeholders are in fear and letting fear determine their choices. The only way the crisis management team can get control over the narrative is to change the way the messaging is being released. And lamentably there has to be a scapegoat to blame the overreaction on.  The numbers...NYC is reporting 5,429 deaths and JHU is reporting 5,820 deaths in NYC. Compared to yesterday's numbers NYC is reporting 651 dead since yesterday and JHU is reporting 670 since yesterday. This, at least is a 19 point delta which is better than the 154 point delta seen on the 8th. They are still way off. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html https://ncov2019.live/ https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/new-york https://www.foxnews.com/us/washington-field-hospital-coronavirus-dismantle https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/panicked-passengers-jump-ferry-after-21838451

Shakespeare’s first play has everything: a love quadrangle, gender-swapping disguises, banditry, erroneous Italian geography, one beautiful soliloquy, and a bit with dog. Lamentably, Will and James conclude, beginner’s luck largely does not apply in “The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” a decidedly unromantic comedy centered around two women who deserve better than the titular bros with whom they end up.

On Wednesdays Mark Levin Show, a firm grasp of history and the schools of intellectual thought that influenced our founders reveals that this impeachment is not just tyrannical it’s a pseudo-impeachment and a quasi-trial. With respect to precedent, no person ever has been slighted of their due process rights. This quasi trial is bogus because it's based on a pseudo-impeachment that doesn't meet the legal standard of high crimes and misdemeanors. Lamentably, the 'progressive' leftwing no longer cares for legal tradition when it doesn't fit their pre-determined outcome. Then, Chief Justice Roberts is giving this sham process legitimacy. We are witnessing the deconstitutionalization of America. The case that these corrupt political prosecutors made wasn't enough in the House but they turned a blind eye to the Constitution and voted on it anyway, and it won't be enough in the Senate. Later, the attempted soft coup of the President likely hatched with Adam Schiff and his staff colluding with the "whistleblower" Eric Ciaramella. However, the facts, remain that the Trump Administration has given lethal military aid to Ukraine every single year of his presidency, unlike his predecessor who failed to provide military aid even while Russian aggressors were attacking Ukraine to annex it. Afterward, WABC Radio Host Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels safety patrol group in New York, joins the program to discuss the increased patrols in Jewish neighborhoods due to an upswing in Anti-Semitic violence perpetrated by Black Hebrew Israelites that have been emboldened by the state's lax new cashless bail reforms.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, there are two nations facing a soft or silent (non-violent) coup attempt, the United States and Israel. Just as the President of the United States has been subjected to false FISA warrants, spying, special counsel investigations and now impeachment, the same is going on in Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Part of the problem is that the people are getting scammed by the leftists media in both countries. Then, critics of this program are now attacking Mark’s satirical humor. Obviously a system that is designed to remove a sitting president cannot be used once that individual is no longer a sitting president. Lamentably, leftwing ideologues in the media will try to pass anything off as fact. Later, Joy Behar is upset that Trump's approval is going up and support for impeachment is going down. Afterward, President Trump took to Fox News to discuss the "fake whistleblower", which this program has noted does not legally qualify for anonymity under the Inspector Generals' whistleblower statute.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the California fire fighters courageously saved the Reagan library from the easy fire in Simi valley. Look at what the democrats have done to California, you can’t even take out underbrush to prevent fires. Blackouts, brownouts and deferred maintenance lead to disaster and that's what America can look forward to if the Democrats take over. Lamentably, just outside the Capitol in Fairfax County, which was once deep red in its politics, is no longer a safe community with great public schools but trudging toward becoming a deep blue sanctuary state as more and more illegal aliens flood the area. MS-13 gang members have been tied to multiple crimes and while school taxes have gone up the quality of life has gone down. Virginia is becoming California in the name of equity because it is equity that they use to quash dissent. Assimilation is to the English language is key to maintaining parity in our republic. Then, our doubts about the whistleblower have been accurate and the democrats keep playing politics with Lt. Col Alexander Vindman's testimony. Despite the outrageous report from the New York Times that Vindman, who was born in Ukraine, was advising the Ukrainian government on how to deal with President Trump and did so in Ukrainian, at times. It is entirely appropriate to question his motives. Later, Sen. Mazie Hirono berates Ken Cuccinelli, Director of the Citizenship and Immigration Services in a hearing, suggesting that he is implementing white supremacist policies at the agency. Finally, Lee Smith calls in to discuss his new book, The Plot Against the President: The True Story of How Congressman Devin Nunes Uncovered the Biggest Political Scandal in U.S. History.

Glass furniture is one of the most well-known techniques that are being utilized to build the general estimation of a property. Today, we have glass entryways and windows, glass tables and seats, glass apparatuses, and glass cupboards. These things are being utilized to build the estimation of a property. Lamentably, glasses are delicate and are entirely powerless against harms. Besides being costly, searching for glass replacements can be an overwhelming undertaking for anybody.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, America has a spending problem. Mitch McConnell said we don’t lose votes by spending and this is unacceptable. We are sticking future generations with massive debt. The laws of economics are like the laws of physics — they don't change. Charles Reidell gets this right in his piece in National Review. Despite the Tea Party's 63 seat win in 2010 yet we still have an obsession with deficits and spending. President Obama's 2012 re-election slowed the Tea Party's momentum and spend-hearty Republicans returned to their old ways despite the spending cap bill. Today, just 15% of Republicans express any desire to spend less and we've seen this in the bloated budgets that they repeatedly send to President Trump. This is the most selfish generation in American history, and Thomas Jefferson warned us. This, combined with college for all, healthcare for all, and ever-increasing taxes on the highest income earners will only hurt America 50 years from now. Then, Democrats distract the electorate by picking at old scabs promising free everything, including reparations. Using race, gender, and income in the name of equality and compassion to divide the American people instead of uniting us around patriotism. The progressive left has no positive ideas for America, looking at their proposals it seems we have lost. Perhaps, if we had a legitimate press to serve as a check and balance we might hold the media accountable. This is why it's important to understand the teachings of Locke, Montesquieu, and the founders do that we can understand why we even have a press and what the purpose of hat press was intended to be. Lamentably our once patriotic press has evolved into a progressive press that's become the progeny of Marx and Hegel. Afterward, climate change progressives push for our economy to extract, which is why they promote degrowth all industries. the modern green movement is the old red movement as it seeks to destroy capitalism.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, some parts of the media are repulsive with their reporting on the Mueller report. The Democrats love the slanted reporting because it helps their attacks on President Trump. Despite the fact that Robert Mueller found no collusion and made no charges, under seal or otherwise, on the allegations of obstruction of justice. Yet Trump and his legal team made a million documents available, waived executive privilege and allowed Mueller to interview his White House lawyer. If Mueller were a regular U.S. Attorney he'd be disbarred for writing such political fiction. A prosecutor's report is always confidential but Mueller's was made public by AG William Barr at Trump's request to be transparent and set the record straight. Then, according to Germen-American propagandist Edward Bernays, "[T]he new propaganda...takes account not merely of the individual, nor even of the mass mind alone, but also of the anatomy of society, with its interlocking group formations and loyalties... Touch a nerve at a sensitive spot and you get an automatic response from certain specific members of the organism." Lamentably, this describes many in our media today.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, some parts of the media are repulsive with their reporting on the Mueller report. The Democrats love the slanted reporting because it helps their attacks on President Trump. Despite the fact that Robert Mueller found no collusion and made no charges, under seal or otherwise, on the allegations of obstruction of justice. Yet Trump and his legal team made a million documents available, waived executive privilege and allowed Mueller to interview his White House lawyer. If Mueller were a regular U.S. Attorney he'd be disbarred for writing such political fiction. A prosecutor's report is always confidential but Mueller's was made public by AG William Barr at Trump's request to be transparent and set the record straight. Then, according to Germen-American propagandist Edward Bernays, "[T]he new propaganda...takes account not merely of the individual, nor even of the mass mind alone, but also of the anatomy of society, with its interlocking group formations and loyalties...

The carbony continues! I dont really know at this point.

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would be the Person of the Trinity that would indwell us as we endeavor to live as disciples of Jesus. Through Him, we would be in intimate contact with the Godhead on a moment by moment basis. "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. (John 14:15-17) The Holy Spirit is called the Helper by Jesus for good reason. It is through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit that God will help us in all of life. One of the most crucial areas He desires to help us in is our relationships with others. Lamentably, this is an area that we usually try to handle in our own power, our own way. I say lamentably because we hardly ever get it right. The two greatest commands God has given us both involve relationships: And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' "This is the great and foremost commandment. "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 22:37-40) None of our relationships can be their fullest without God’s help, and He wants to help more than you could ever imagine. In the 5th chapter of Ephesians we are given insight into what the love God wants looks like. Instead of being simply an emotion, the love God wants to see in us is actively exploring the other person in order to give what will please them. First of all, in our relationship with God, we are told: “Try to learn what pleases the Lord. “ (Ephesians 5:10) “Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is.” (Ephesians 5:17) Then, in the love between husbands and wives we see the same thing. God commands us to give to each other that which the other needs from us the most. Wives are commanded to respect their husbands, while husbands are commanded to love their wives. Dr. Larry Crabb tells us that a woman’s deepest need is to be able to share herself deeply with those close to her. She needs a safe environment in order to do this, so God has commanded husbands to provide it by loving them like Christ loves the Church. Dr. Crabb says that a man’s deepest need is to feel like he counts in some way in this world. For that reason, God has commanded wives to respect their husbands, thereby meeting that deepest need. God has set the precedent for us to follow in our relationship with God and between husbands and wives here: Find out what is important to them, and to the best of your ability, provide it. As you lovingly explore and try to provide, you will find God’s power through the presence of His Holy Spirit, will be with you, helping you, just as He promised.

The Holy Spirit of God is not just a contagious attitude, a frame of mind, or a sense of community. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, just as real as the Father and the Son, and just as important to us in our Christian lives. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would be the Person of the Trinity that would indwell us as we endeavor to live as disciples of Jesus. Through Him we would be in intimate contact with the Godhead on a moment by moment basis. The Holy Spirit is called the Helper by Jesus for good reason. It is through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit that God will help us in all of life. One of the most crucial areas He desires to help us in is our relationships with others. Lamentably, this is an area that we usually try to handle in our own power, our own way. I say lamentably because we hardly ever get it right.

Beltway Update with Jennifer Kerns. How problematic is the chaos in the GOP right now? Lamentably bad, or possibly surprisingly good? Has the House Freedom Caucus gone too far this time? Why did Kevin McCarthy drop out of the race? Would Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan, or Marsha Blackburn be a good choice for Speaker? Is principled GOP assertiveness in the House necessarily a bad thing? Is there a way to move beyond the "government shutdown" discourse in the media? Notes on Donald Trump's dominating impact on all things GOP. Where is this going? Also, a look at Hillary Clinton's ongoing difficulties on the campaign trail, including her recent amazing flip-flop on the TPP trade deal. Trustworthy? Integrity? What to expect from the upcoming Democratic debate. With music and listener calls.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Necessity of Sound Theoretical Frameworks in Linguistic Education; by Noah McMosky; From Volume CLXVI, (166) Number 2, of Speculative Grammarian, January 2013 — Theoretical Linguistics has the loftiest of goals, namely the creation of a theoretical framework that can explain the features of all languages. Lamentably, however, the pursuit of this goal is often frustrated by the activities of field linguists, who seem to take perverse delight in presenting data that apparently contradicts whatever theory seems most promising at the time. Sometimes, the data can be reanalysed in a more reasonable fashion, but to this day I remember my bitter disappointment as a young postdoctoral fellow when no amount of analysis would make Welsh and Hebrew yield to the perfectly straightforward prediction of Metasyntactical Heuristics that all VSO languages should be ergative.
