Podcasts about Lancaster County

In a powerful and emotionally charged broadcast, the tragic murder of 40-year-old Larisha Sherrell Thompson by six illegal immigrants in Lancaster County becomes a flashpoint for criticism of South Carolina's immigration enforcement under Governor Henry McMaster. The commentary calls for immediate action, citing Florida's more aggressive policies as a model. Shifting from local tragedy to global tensions, the episode also delves into the recent U.S.–China trade negotiations, debunking media misreporting and highlighting Trump's tough stance against the Chinese Communist Party. Through both segments, the host weaves a common thread: failed leadership has dire consequences—whether at home or on the world stage.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:00pm- On Monday, chip maker Nvidia announced that it is investing $500 billion in American-made supercomputers used in artificial intelligence. The domestic manufacturing is expected to create over 100,000 jobs. 6:10pm- According to reports, China has suspended exportation of rare earth minerals and rare earth magnets—two components critical to modern technology. The move comes in response to the Trump Administration placing a 145% tariff on Chinese imports. On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a message from President Donald Trump which stated: “the ball is in China's court. China needs to make a deal with us—we don't have to make a deal with them.” 6:15pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele revealed that he has no plans to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was deported to El Salvador after the Trump Administration determined he was in the U.S. illegally and a member of the gang MS-13. In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court determined that Abrego Garcia's deportation was, in part, the result of an “administrative error” and that he should “facilitate” his return to the United States—though, after the error is corrected, he would ultimately be eligible for deportation anyway. While speaking with the press, Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller denied an administrative error ever occurred. The Trump Administration also noted that because Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador, they have no recourse if Bukele denies their request for release. 6:40pm- U.S. companies “need to start thinking like the Amish.” A business in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania has tariff-proofed the manufacturing process of its stainless-steel stoves. Weekday afternoons on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Rich Zeoli gives the expert analysis and humorous take that we need in this crazy political climate. Along with Executive Producer Matt DeSantis and Justin Otero, the Zeoli show is the next generation of talk radio and you can be a part of it weekday afternoons 3-7pm.

Misty Skolnick, co-owner of Uncle Jerry's Pretzels in Lancaster County is our first guest on the program today! Misty shares how her co-owner father Jerry began the company in 1988--delivering pretzels in the Delaware Valley--as well as the company's growth and development from local business to having a national presence. Uncle Jerry's Pretzels have been free of oil, sugar, preservatives and article dyes since the company's inception. Skolnick discusses how this comes into play today, with new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s recent warnings to PepsiCo, General Mills and other large food companies that one of his top priorities will be eliminating artificial dyes from our nation’s food supply to combat growing rates of chronic disease and other health issues among Americans. Retired FBI agent Scott Payne also joins the show to discuss his new book, Code Name: Pale Horse: How I Went Undercover to Expose America's Nazis. Payne, a decorated agent dubbed the “Hillbilly Donnie Brasco,” takes readers along with him on some of the most terrifying and riskiest assignments in FBI history. He went deep undercover with the lethal Outlaw Motorcycle Club in Massachusetts; to the front lines of the opioid epidemic in Tennessee; and infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama. Through it all, he stayed married to the love of his life, raised two girls, and spent his Sundays at church, sustained by family and faith.

Send us a textChad Burpee is a proud father, brother, and a son. Though he grew up in Maine, life's journey eventually led him to Texas. With a deep sense of duty and service, he dedicated 20 years of his life to law enforcement, serving in Lancaster County, Nebraska, and later in Dallas, Texas. Before that, he honorably served his country as a United States Air Force veteran from 1995 to 1999 with the 314th Security Forces Squadron. His service took him on two tours in the Middle East, and he had the distinct privilege of working with the Presidential Detail for President William Clinton and Air Force One.  On July 7, 2016, Chad's life was forever changed. That night, in the heart of Dallas, he found himself in the midst of one of the deadliest attacks on law enforcement in U.S. history—the Dallas 5 ambush. As chaos unfolded, 11 officers were shot, and tragically, 5 of his brothers in blue lost their lives. The weight of that night and the years of service before it left lasting scars, both seen and unseen.  Now medically retired, Chad has turned his pain into purpose. He openly shares his journey of battling anxiety, depression, and PTSD, hoping to be a light for others who are struggling. Through his words and experiences, he reminds others that even in the darkest moments, there is hope, there is healing, and there is peace to be found again.LinksIG - https://www.instagram.com/chad_b514/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/chadt.o.burpeeFind The Suffering PodcastThe Suffering Podcast InstagramKevin Donaldson InstagramTom Flynn InstagramApple PodcastSpotifyYouTubeThe Suffering Podcast FamilySherri AllsupKetaReviveToyota of HackensackSupport the showThe Suffering Podcast Instagram Kevin Donaldson Instagram TikTok YouTube

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shedding light on an issue that affects far too many young people. Sobeida Rosa, Community Educator with Domestic Violence Services of Lancaster County, works to educate the public about Domestic Violence and resources available at DVS Lancaster. “Teens can also be involved or experience these types of things within their dating. And it's super important to raise awareness because we want to make sure we can try to do some prevention, some reframing so that they can in turn be adults with healthy relationships and kind of get these warning signs early before, you know, the added pressure of adulthood on top of being in a relationship, “said Rosa. Kristen Herman, Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence says educating young folks before they become adults provides an opportunity to help as they’re forming relationships. “You know, whether we like it or not, kids at this age are dating. What that looks like to them and what that sounds like to us might be two totally different things, but it is happening.

They will learn through your example and experience. Be a good steward of giving - ensure the funds are going to worthwhile organizations and causes.Cash is the most expensive way to give.

"PREVIEW: Colleague Jim McTague reports that bird flu has arrived in Lancaster County, raising concerns about potential transmission to humans. More tonight." 1912 Allentown PA

Three Lancaster County poultry flocks have reported outbreaks of avian flu, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. University of Pittsburgh researchers have found an effective antibody that could produce a bird flu vaccine. The state Corrections Department is recommending the closure of four facilities, including Rockview state prison in Centre County. A new Alzheimer’s test developed at the University of Pittsburgh could help doctors detect signs of the disease years earlier. Pennsylvania is one of only four states that taxes people for holocaust reparations. An effort is underway to change that. A new report card has a goal of convincing more companies to promote gun violence prevention policies. It’s unique because it looks at businesses that have nothing to do with firearms. Philadelphia Eagles fans are basking in the glow of their team's Super Bowl win and are already preparing for a victory parade on Friday. State Police have not had any cracks in the case of 100,000 eggs stolen from a Franklin County egg producer on February 1st. State Senator Greg Rothman has been elected the new chair of Pennsylvania's Republican Party. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LANCASTER COUNTY REPORT: AVIAN FLU THREATS PA.   JIM MCTAGUE, FORMER WASHINGTON EDITOR, BARRONS. @MCTAGUEJ.  AUTHOR OF THE "MARTIN AND TWYLA BOUNDARY SERIES."  #FRIENDSOFHISTORYDEBATINGSOCIETY 1912 ALENTOWN

At least six wells in one area tested positive for jet fuel-related chemicals about a year after residents claimed to have smelled gas in the area's water. A new health system facility opened its doors in Lancaster County. One official believes a high-speed rail in Pennsylvania is possible. Also, cops are scrambling to solve an egg heist.

Governor Josh Shapiro’s budget plan would more than double the state’s Ag Innovation Fund. The governor is also hoping to lower energy costs for families -- as part of his budget proposal, and legalize marijuana in Pennsylvania. Geisinger’s unionized Luzerne County nurses are voicing their demands for their updated contract in one last effort to avoid a strike. Pennsylvania is using some of its opioid settlement money to support harm reduction services in Philadelphia. A Lancaster County nonprofit that helps refugees and immigrants has furloughed much of its staff. The heist of 100,000 eggs from the back of a trailer in Franklin County has become a whodunit that police have yet to crack. Host Tim Lambert offers his thanks -- as his time with WITF winds down.
