Thursday with Tabitha 4. Hosea by Tabitha Smith If you have ever felt that God is distant, disinterested, and aloof from his creation, or you've thought that God is a cruel, heartless God who punishes his creation harshly, then the book of Hosea has truth for you. This short prophetic book contains heartrending descriptions of God's feelings for wayward Israel. It is one of the parts of the Bible that most vividly demonstrates the intensity of feeling and the depth of emotion in the heart of God.   Hosea prophesied during the latter half of the eighth century BC. This was one of the most turbulent and difficult times in Israel's history, just before the captivity to Assyria. The nation of Israel went through six kings in about 30 years. There was violence, political intrigue and great instability.   Hosea primarily writes to the people of Israel, whom he sometimes refers to as Ephraim. His main concern is the way that the Israelites have turned away from worshipping God and instead started to worship Baal.   Baal was a false god of the region of Syria and Palestine. He was thought to control agriculture, rainfall and fertility. Practices involved in the worship of Baal included human sacrifice and mutilation of the body; incest, sex with animals, the use of shrine prostitutes and drinking alcohol in excess.   At the start of the book of Hosea the prophet is called to do something extraordinary. God asks him to marry an unfaithful wife. The events that unfold in Hosea's family will become a vivid image of the events occurring in Israel. Hosea marries a woman called Gomer and she bears him a son.   After this she has a daughter and another son but the wording of the text suggests that these two children do not belong to Hosea. Gomer has been unfaithful to him. The children are given names that mean “not loved” and “not my people”.  In this way, Hosea's illegitimate children become a picture of Israel, a child that will not be shown mercy and does not belong to its father. However, even at this tragic point, there is a promise of the mercy and love that the Father will show. God declares that in spite of this terrible unfaithfulness, he will show mercy and love again to Israel and Judah.   In chapter 2 God expands on the image of the unfaithful wife that was introduced in chapter 1. Israel has strayed from God, turning to worship Baal. She has taken part in pagan worship ceremonies and she has not acknowledged the way that God's hand has graciously provided all of her crops, wine, oil, silver and gold, which she now uses in the worship of Baal. God declares that he will punish Israel and expose her adultery.   But even in the next breath he expresses his desire to heal her, and restore her and draw her back into a loving relationship with himself: In verses 19-20 God says: I will betroth you to me for ever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the LORD. And in verse 23 he says: I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one'. I will say to those called 'Not my people', 'You are my people'; and they will say, 'You are my God.' " The language God uses is tender, affectionate and merciful. Israel will be his beloved bride again.   To complete the real-life metaphor, Hosea is instructed to go and love his wife again, even though she has been unfaithful to him. The fact that he has to buy her back suggests that she may have fallen into slavery. It costs Hosea to take Gomer back into his house. Hosea promises his faithfulness to Gomer and asks her to be faithful to him in return. This is powerful picture of love in action. It is love that is not based on warm glowing feelings but on commitment, intention, and faithfulness. This is love that hurts.   In the remaining 11 chapters of the book, Hosea continues his prophecy from God with a series of vivid pictures about unfaithful Israel. She is described as an adulterous wife, a disinterested mother, an illegitimate child, an ungrateful son, a stubborn heifer, a silly dove and a half-baked cake that is unfit for eating. Hosea also paints a picture of Israel as a luxuriant grapevine that looked very promising at the start but then went bad. Another image likens Israel to grapes or new figs found in the desert – a wonderful discovery that then turned rotten. Perhaps the most heartbreaking and tender passage comes in the first part of chapter 11. God describes Israel as a small child, a little son, who God himself called out of Egypt. God taught his child to walk, comforted him, kissed his wounds better and led him with kindness and love. But the child did not recognise the Father's love and care and rejected the Father in favour of idols.   In spite of this painful rejection, God cannot abandon his child. In verse 8 God exclaims, ‘how can I give you up, O Ephraim?'   The book closes with an impassioned plea for Israel to turn back to the Lord and enjoy the blessing that this change of heart would bring.   As I've read Hosea, I've been drawn to the image of Israel as God's bride. God pledged his covenant faithfulness to his bride but she was unfaithful. As we move into the New Testament we discover a new image of the church, the new covenant people of God, as the bride of Christ. This image culminates in the glorious wedding feast of the Lamb in the book of Revelation. The church, now perfected and redeemed by Jesus, is presented to him for eternal union in the new heaven and new earth. Jesus has loved his bride, the church with the same complete commitment and devotion that God showed his original covenant people. In the last days of his earthly life, Jesus had to experience the pain of loving those who would betray, desert and deny him. John's gospel poignantly says, “having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.” (John 13:1).   Jesus demonstrated the kind of resolute, faithful, steadfast love that would hurt so badly it would cost him his life.   So what do we take away from the book of Hosea? I think primarily it is a powerful reminder of the intensity of the love of God for his people. That includes us. If we are unfaithful to him and put other things in a higher place of importance in our hearts, this hurts God. The human emotion of having been cheated on by someone we love is only dim shadow of the effect of our unfaithfulness on God's perfect heart.   I think Hosea can also draw us into deeper wonder at what Jesus did for us on the cross. If we marvel at the love Hosea showed to Gomer, and what it cost him to buy her back whilst she was still a slave, how much more should we be floored by the love that Jesus showed for each one of us on the cross, giving everything he had to buy us back for God, whilst we were still dead in sin!   Last Friday was Good Friday and Christians around the world remembered the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross. After the grief comes joy and on Sunday we celebrated Jesus' resurrection. Each Sunday is a commemoration of Jesus' rising on the first day of the week. Each time we celebrate the Lord's supper, the breaking of bread and the sharing of wine, we commemorate what happened on Friday.   Easter week may be over for another year, and of course we continue to celebrate each Sunday, but I think it is good to spend regular time thinking about the trial and the suffering of Friday. In doing so we remember what our freedom cost our Father, as we gather at the feet of our broken bridegroom, who loved us to the very end.  Right Mouse click or tap here to download this episode as an audio mp3 file

Physician assisted suicide and the economic impossibility of safeguardingFor best results and links to related articles and to read my other work, find this post on Substack: https://shirabatya.substack.com/p/death-affirmative-care.------------------Last Friday, the UK Parliament voted by a narrow margin to legalise physician-assisted suicide.Since then, there has been much discussion of the possibility that the House of Lords could tighten up safeguarding for this bill, which has been criticised widely for lacking sufficient safeguards for people who are mentally ill, anorexic, diabetic, or simply socially isolated and therefore easily suggestible by doctors who, according to this law, will be allowed to raise the topic of suicide with patients who have not raised the issue first themselves.In fact, Parliament explicitly rejected an amendment to prevent doctors from suggesting to patients that they may wish to end their lives, voting only to protect children from such suggestions. Similarly, although Parliament approved an amendment that prevented patients from being deemed terminal due to voluntary stopping of eating and drinking (VSED), this does not apply to anorexics, whose refusal of food is due to a mental health condition and therefore is arguably involuntary.The erosion of safeguarding is not a matter of if, but of when. It is not a bug but a feature.A number of people who have concerns about the bill are hopeful that with the correct amendments in the House of Lords, it will be made fit for purpose and add the safeguards that are currently lacking. Although safeguards are obviously to be welcomed, I believe that such people are failing to recognise a more fundamental problem with this proposal, which comes down to economics. In the end, whatever safeguards are officially agreed, as long as this matter is framed in terms of a “right to die”, over time, practical constraints will lead to an erosion of safeguards as has occurred in places such as Australia and Canada. The erosion of safeguarding is not a matter of if, but of when. It is not a bug but a feature.For those who are in favour of physician-assisted suicide, the discussion about this legislation has been framed in terms of patient choice and the “right to die”. How dare I restrict the choice of somebody else who has freely consented to ending their life? It's their life, not mine. Their body. Their choice.For those of us who have followed the child gender transition debacle of recent years, this conversation is oddly familiar. It is no coincidence that people such as Kathleen Stock and Fred Sargeant who are critical of physician-assisted gender transition, have also been concerned about physician-assisted suicide. In gender critical circles, we know to be careful when people talk about bodily autonomy and choice; we know that the issues of safeguarding or gatekeeping or autonomy are never as simple as people might think.How will the NHS deal with this backlog of people demanding to die, particularly if the service is framed in terms of people having a right to die?Already in recent days, health secretary Wes Streeting has raised concerns about the cost of implementing physician-assisted suicide, possibly topping £15,000 per patient. A whole new service needs to be set up in the NHS to provide this procedure. Personnel need to be trained to assess requests from patients and to determine which patients should be allowed to die, and which should be told “no, not you”. This will also divert resources away from other treatments, possibly away from the important palliative care, provision of which is known already to be inadequate. Adequate palliative care is crucial if patients are to have a real choice between ending their lives and having a dignified death free of excessive pain.Whether or not the House of Lords strengthens safeguards, we know that implementing this legislation will be difficult and costly. The greater the safeguards that may be added, the greater this cost, as savings are generated only after sick people actually do die. We have already seen that practical constraints (economics) have led to changes in the safeguarding process. A shortage of available high court judges forced the bill's proponents to remove the safeguard that such a person would need to approve applications, in favour of a more practical panel without a person of such high legal qualifications.We must ask: What will happen in a few years' time, when there is a backlog of say hundreds or thousands of patients who have requested assisted suicide? What will we do when the safeguards necessary to make sure that their suicide has not occurred under duress or due to inappropriate factors such as mental illness — when these safeguards lead to unacceptable delays because systems are overwhelmed. How will the NHS deal with this backlog of people demanding to die, particularly if the service is framed in terms of people having a right to die?Imagine a few years hence, if careful safeguarding and gatekeeping is in place, if the process has not devolved into the informed consent model in which a patient's “right to die” is simply affirmed and they are pushed down the pipeline towards death. Someone will be frustrated by the delays from “excessive gatekeeping” that interferes with their “right to die” and they will sue complaining that they are being coerced into remaining alive. If strong safeguards are kept in place, this lawsuit will happen (again, not a matter of if but of when). More likely, organisations such as Humanists UK will push for a reduction in safeguards to avoid such delays.Those of us who have been following the issue of gender-affirmative care in medicine cannot help seeing the obvious parallel: the similarity to another story in which gatekeeping was eroded due to the reality of practical constraints or economics. Years ago, when Dutch doctors initially decided to begin to transition a small number of gender non-conforming children in order, theoretically, to provide them better cosmetic outcomes as fully transitioned adults, there were significant safeguards in place.Let's leave aside the question about whether, in principle, we think that one should ever block the puberty of a child and medically transform a young person to look like the opposite sex. Leave aside that question for the moment and simply consider the matter of safeguarding. Leave aside for the moment the very valid criticisms of the Dutch protocol, which I know was severely flawed research. Nonetheless they did have safeguards in place. If you have followed the New York Times podcast, The Protocol, you will recall that one had to undergo several months or years of therapy. There was screening for all sorts of mental health problems that disqualified patients from puberty blockers or medical transition.Thus the “gender-affirmative” care model began to view gatekeeping as a pejorative, something we should not do as we had a duty to affirm patients…So what happened when American and British doctors saw what was happening in Holland and decided to bring these procedures back to their own countries to replicate them so that patients in their own countries could have access to this new apparently ground-breaking treatment protocol? Quickly, in both the UK and the US is, the number of children seeking “gender-affirmative care” far exceeded what clinics they could cope with following the Dutch model, because along with the patients they expected to see (those who had been gender nonconforming from a young age, mostly boys), there came a multitude of distressed adolescents (mostly girls) with no prior history of gender dysphoria. Thousands of patients built up on waiting lists, or in the case of the United States, patients sought treatment at hospitals hundreds of miles from their homes, and so they could not reasonably be expected to show up for months and months of appointments and therapy sessions (See NYT The Protocol, episode 3).As a result, as explained in the NYT podcast, the process was changed. It was streamlined to get through the waiting lists. Months of therapy often turned into a single assessment. And thus we ended up with problems that far exceeded those from the Dutch protocol. Again, I am not saying that the Dutch protocol was itself a good process or defending that research, which is deeply flawed. But certainly, what happened in the USA and UK etc. was far, far worse. It became a free-for-all.You will change the product to fit constraints just like any vendor of any product in a market economy. Therefore, if it is impractical, expensive or onerous, safeguarding gets cast aside.Johanna Olson Kennedy explains on the Protocol (again episode 3) that she realised it actually made no sense to engage in these sorts of safeguarding / gatekeeping procedures in order to decide which patients should be getting gender-affirmative care and which should not. Gatekeeping did not work because, of course, doctors could not easily tell which patients should and should not be transitioned, and patients would simply change what they told doctors in order to get past gatekeepers, thus hiding other mental health problems. Again, this is a matter of economics, of practical constraints and incentives (people may not be honest with doctors if that does not get them what they want).Olson Kennedy therefore decided that patients who wanted to transition should be allowed to transition, should be affirmed. Thus the “gender-affirmative” care model began to view gatekeeping as a pejorative, something we should not do as we had a duty to affirm patients and believe them when they claimed a gender identity. Transition was no longer a treatment which would be provided or not based on medical judgment by a trained professional. Rather, transition became purely the exercise of what was framed as “trans rights.”You could say that this was an ideological development, but I'm going to look at this purely from an economic point of view, since I am trained as an economist. Set aside the culture wars, “woke”, queer theory, all of that. It was inevitable that this would happen. If the resources are not available to do the safeguarding that you would like to implement and you have a backlog of cases, then you will then adapt your product to fit the circumstances so that you can provide a service that satisfies your clients, patients, customers (whatever you wish to call them). You will change the product to fit constraints just like any vendor of any product in a market economy. Therefore, if it is impractical, expensive or onerous, safeguarding gets cast aside.The better safeguarding functions, the more we will hear people criticizing the gatekeeping that prevents people from dying when they want to.Of course, to avoid cognitive dissonance, you will then be attracted to an ideology that justifies your actions. Alternatively, jobs providing this care will attract ideologically compatible personnel — people whose mindset allows them to do this new job and still to sleep at night. Self-selection of compatibly minded people will inevitably lead to group think within these clinics. None of this requires any conspiracy, any neo-Marxist strategy to take over the Academy and inflict queer theory on students. This is a process driven by the economics. Ideology is a secondary result.In short, I don't think that what happened in the States was in any way surprising. It's exactly what you would expect to happen because the only practical alternative to getting rid of all the safeguards would have been what's happening now in so many US States and countries, which is to halt provision of this service completely. You can't transition any children at all because we can't tell which patients should or should not be transitioning as children. Because the reality is that, at any reasonable cost, within realistic practical constraints, it is just not possible to put in place safeguarding or appropriate gatekeeping so that only the correct patients get the treatment. You either have a free for all or you stop doing it completely.This brings us back to physician-assisted suicide in the UK. I predict that if this law gains royal assent, even if the House of Lords agrees extra safeguards, it will not actually make that much difference. Yes of course, it will help if safeguards are put in place. Some vulnerable patients can of course be protected from killing themselves and it is better if the law closes the anorexia loophole, the diabetes loophole, the doctor-suggestion loophole, etc. However, when it comes down to it, whatever safeguarding we do will be constrained not by what the law says those safeguards should be, but by the economics.Safeguarding / gatekeeping will be constrained by the funds available to pay personnel on review panels, meaning quicker decisions by less qualified people. It will be constrained by the ability to train health workers for jobs implementing the service, and these new jobs in death-affirmative care will self-select for those who are ideologically committed to the right to die, just as clinicians in “gender-affirmative youth medicine” self-selected for those who believed in queer theory or had themselves transitioned or had supported the transition of a partner or child. We must expect that gatekeeping will not protect vulnerable patients. When this failure occurs, it will not be a surprise, but an economic inevitability of enshrining a “right to die” and to have this death provided by the NHS.Initially, we may have a good service with careful decisions. Morally problematic, but perhaps analogous to the Dutch protocol. However, over the course of time, as the number of people seeking assistance for suicide increases, as the caseload and the backlog of cases builds up, as the systems in place to provide careful safeguarding become overwhelmed and more ideologues are attracted to the death-affirmative care profession, the death-provision procedure will be streamlined, and safeguarding will be reduced. The better safeguarding functions, the more we will hear people criticizing the gatekeeping that prevents people from dying when they want to: for example, discrimination against the disabled or the mentally ill who all have an equal right to die.Doctors are paternalistic. They offer us treatments that evidence shows to be beneficial, not treatments we demand as our “right”. We are patients, not customers.No matter what safeguards are put in place, the reality will be that these safeguards will not be adequate because they cannot be adequate because to put adequate safeguards in place will simply cost too much and place too many obstacles in front of those who see this as a right. Thus, people will find a way of rationalising why a more streamlined approach is consistent with the intention of parliament, or the law will be amended to solve practical difficulties — meaning to remove safeguards that are practically impossible to implement.There will be lawsuits by patients affected by the delays that will force pragmatism by the NHS. And in the end, we will institute an easy pipeline towards death in the same way that there was, until recently, an easy pipeline in the United States towards gender transition of children. And as we found in the United States to do with child gender transition, the only way to actually stop the abuses of the system will be to abolish the service completely. Except in this case, it is unlikely that a reversal will occur. We will have become efficient at killing off those who are an economic or medical drain on society. The economic cost of reversing this progress will be far too high.There is a deeper lesson here. The fact is that there are some kinds of choices, medical decisions, medical procedures, where theoretically we might say that some people should get them, but where we can't allow this to become normative medicine paid for by the state or by insurance, because we know that the reality is that the safeguards that one would need to put in place are actually impossible. There is no way to make the care widely available to your target group without catching all sorts of other people who may be harmed if this becomes normalised and paid for by institutions, particularly if this care is framed as a human right.This is why it is fundamentally wrong to have physician-assisted suicide in the UK, provided by the NHS, framed in terms of a “right to die”. It cannot be done, and the reason is not because I don't think that it is morally justified for people to be able to end their lives if they so choose. This is not because I feel that I have a moral right to tell other people whether they ought to live or die. Rather, the reality is that if you try to put in place physician-assisted suicide based on a right to die, you will end up with exactly the same problem happening that happened with child gender transition. Because even if you believe that some children should be transitioned, (which I don't), there is no way to offer such a service without being swamped by patients who definitely should not be receiving it.If a service is demand-led, you end up finding it impossible to safeguard patients and to distinguish between those who should be treated, and those who should not. You end up with an assembly line and a free-for-all and a lack of gatekeeping. It is a process driven by the economics, once it receives an initial ideological green light to begin.Does this mean that it is impossible for there ever to be physician-assisted suicide provided to any patient with any health condition? What about people with terminal cancer, suffering intolerable pain in their final days or hours of life? Do we leave them to suffer in agony? I actually believe there may be a way to help such patients. The key is that any such assisted death must not be framed in the terms of the right to die, in the same way that medical alteration of sex development cannot be framed in terms of a “right to transition” — paid for by the NHS or insurance as the case may be.This is because there is no “right” to have any particular kind of healthcare. We do not waltz into a doctors office and demand antibiotics because we feel we have an infection. We require a diagnosis, and if the treatment is appropriate, we get the penicillin. Otherwise, the doctor says no. Doctors are paternalistic. They offer us treatments that evidence shows to be beneficial, not treatments we demand as our “right”. We are patients, not customers. The failure to understand this basic fact lies at the root of the scandal that is gender-affirmative care.Can doctors ever offer death as an option to patients? Possibly yes, but this would have to be offered like any other medical treatment. If there are particular medical circumstances (such as end stage cancer), where evidence shows that even with the best palliative care, a patient cannot control excruciating pain, so that the best treatment possible may be to increase morphine to deadly levels, one might be able to make a clinical argument to offer this. But this would be a very specific clinical judgment, and it is not about whether someone has the “right to die.” It is about caring for a patient who is dying, so that his or her death is less painful.I think this scenario is what comes to mind for those who make the most emotive arguments for assisted dying. In that case, what a law could do is give authority to NICE to look into the possibility of hastened death being elected by patients with that particular health condition, in order to allow their death to be less agonizing.But we cannot frame this in terms of the right to die. It's not about a patient making a choice and then demanding that the NHS provides death to order, with the patient as consumer. Rather, we're talking here about doctors engaging in what effectively is a form of health care for a patient, where medical evidence indicates they may be better served if they are allowed to die sooner, and therefore they are given this as one treatment option.Even here, the offer would be fraught with risk. This would entail legislation that would protect doctors from prosecution when they offer such help but only subject to enormous safeguards, similar to those proposed for the assisted suicide bill, but not framed in terms of a “right to die.” Moreover, if we are talking about just a small number of conditions for which there is solid medical evidence that palliative care alone cannot prevent an agonising death, we may find that the economics does not necessarily lead to an erosion of safeguarding. Even here, we would need to compare a hastened death to the best possible palliative care, so that patients are not effectively forced to choose death because they are not being provided for properly otherwise.The key to understanding this is to avoid a misconception about informed consent: namely the mistaken notion that it is reasonable to offer death to patients if they have capacity to consent to that death. This is not how informed consent normally works in medicine. Rather, even where informed consent applies, doctors act paternalistically. They evaluate which treatments can help a patient, and then a patient must consent to treatment and has a right to refuse treatment. But patients do not have a right to demand treatments that doctors do not deem helpful. There is a right to say no, not a right to demand yes.The problem we have with the so-called “right to die” is similar to what happened with gender-affirmative care. There, treatments were framed in terms of a right to transition as opposed to being framed in terms of evidence-based health care. And that's how we ended up in the mess we're in with a complete free-for-all with the elimination of safeguarding or gatekeeping because patients felt they had a right to the care whether or not there was any evidentiary basis for it.The key here is to realise that, when given by healthcare providers, death is no more a right of patients than any other kind of healthcare a doctor could give. Doctors do not have a duty to give any patient any medical procedure, any outcome that the patient wants. They have a duty to give healthcare which is evidenced and sensible and also cost effective. When a particular kind of treatment becomes a “right”, we throw out of the window the most important question: whether the treatment does or does not benefit patients, based on evidence. Because if it is truly a right, then it is equally a right for a patient dying in agony of cancer, and for a nineteen year-old with anorexia who has just given up on life and wants doctors to end it. This way of framing medicine is a very, very dangerous, dangerous path to take.Thanks for reading Heterodox Jewish Woman!

Houseboy was a Chicago-based pop‑punk/emo outfit that emerged in the mid‑1990s, co-founded by Brett Friesen (drums) and Ace Cowden (vocals/guitar) along with Daniel Garcia and Thom Lemke discogs.com +7 last.fm +7 skatepunkers.fandom.com +7 . Known for their high‑energy live shows—often opening for acts like Guttermouth, Samiam, and Face to Face—the band released a handful of catchy DIY recordings including the Last Friday's Selfless Allstars 7″ and the full‑length Ya Right! before lineup changes and personal tragedy led them to disband in 1999 discogs.com +4 skatepunkmemories.blogspot.com +4 skatepunkers.fandom.com +4 . Despite a relatively short run, Houseboy became a staple of the Chicago punk scene and left behind a legacy of spirited melodic tunes celebrated by local fans and preserved on compilations like Achtung Chicago!

As both chambers of the General Assembly negotiate a budget to send to Gov. Josh Stein, we examine the major sticking points in the House and Senate versions. Last Friday, Stein signed six bills into law, but did not take action on a concealed carry bill or two immigration bills. Since taking office, he has yet to issue a veto.

Retired U.S. Diplomat David Hunter is back in the studio with Rhett Palmer for another explosive, no-holds-barred segment diving into the biggest global issues making headlines. You don't want to miss this one!Here's what's on the agenda:

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got fighting words. People are riled up here in Ontario about some more bad bills, and people in the U.S. are riled up about another week of living in Trumpland including his most dangerous moves against civil liberties yet. If you're a Canadian concerned about these things, you might want to listen to this week's guest because he has some ideas on how to fight back! This Thursday, June 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Six Weeks, 17 Fights. The Ontario Legislature rose last week after only sitting for a total of six weeks. And yet, in that small space of time, Doug Ford and his government managed to upset just about everyone from municipal leaders, to environmentalists, to Indigenous communities thank to the passage of the highly controversial Bills 5 and 17. These measures, which are supposed to create more housing, come at a time when housing starts are at their slowest level since 2009, so what is all this for? Battle Los Angeles. Last Friday, protest erupted in the Los Angeles area after agents for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) started arresting undocumented people looking for work outside a Home Depot. The raids seem to be the brain child of Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's most trusted advisor, especially on matters of racial animus. The eruption of protests, and the calling of the National Guard, has people concerned, especially now before Trump's birthday army parade. How worried should we be? Charlie in Charge. He may not be in Parliament anymore, but Charlie Angus is still making waves. Travelling coast-to-coast-to-coast now, Angus is aiming to rallying ordinary Canadians in the fight against fascism and to promote resiliency and resistance in local communities, and he's bring that message to Guelph in an event on Thursday June 19. Before that though he will join us here on Open Sources to talk about why you can't leave it to the politicians and how you can start to get more politically involved. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Last Friday, the American establishment legacy media had collective egg on their pitiful faces. For weeks, they, along with many leftist politicians, fell victim to their own lies and hubris. They had attempted to paint a picture of an illegal immigrant as a decent “Maryland Father” and hard worker. They demanded that Kilmar Abrego Garcia be returned to the United States. They got their wish, but now Mr. Garcia may end up spending the rest of his life in prison for the crimes of human trafficking, rape, and other crimes. Bob shares some insight on that story and much more on today's episode. Now, do you believe in this ministry?

Last Friday, Gerry Adams won a High Court defamation action against the BBC and has been awarded €100,000 in damages. Mr Adams' legacy and how he will be viewed in the history books was very much at stake in the trial.

Last Friday, we played a report from the unveiling of the Brian Boru Bridge in Killaloe-Ballina. At the start of the piece, we heard Transport Minister, Darragh O'Brien being subjected to accusations from a member of the public over the Government's response to Israel's continuing assault on Gaza. This is nothing new, as the Government has faced plenty of brickbats on this issue. Earlier, Alan spoke with environmental activist Sinead Jackson, who interrupted Minister O'Brien's speech. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by TD Cathal Crowe.

Did you know that the median retail investor spends only six minutes researching a stock before buying it? Most of that time is spent staring at a price chart—often just the current day's movement. Nick compares the limited “research” many individual investors conduct to the extensive analysis performed by Henssler's research analysts.K.C. then takes a closer look at the “One Big Beautiful Bill” that passed the House of Representatives just hours before we recorded. We discuss the revised State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap, the increased Child Tax Credit, and the proposed tax break on tip income. While the bill's fate in the Senate remains uncertain, it appears that many of Trump's 2017 tax cuts may be extended.Last Friday, after the market closed, Moody's became the third major credit rating agency to downgrade the U.S. government's debt rating. The cut comes at a time when global confidence in U.S. debt is wavering, and Congress is debating a tax bill that could further increase the national debt. We examine what this downgrade means and whether it reflects actual investment risk.After the break, D.J. breaks down Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and explains why they're one of the most powerful tools for saving money—thanks to their unique triple tax benefit. While many people use HSAs to pay for health-care expenses as they arise, there are compelling advantages to covering those costs from other funds and allowing the HSA to accumulate, benefiting from tax-deferred growth over time.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Last Friday, Governor Ferguson signed a bill into law that would force priests to break the seal of confession, which, in some cases, would lead to jail time if a priest refuses.

It's Monday, April 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Indonesian Church closed the day before Easter The joyful atmosphere of the Easter weekend celebration at the Ecumenical Christian Communion congregation in Java, Indonesia, turned sorrowful when local government officials sealed the prayer house building on Saturday, April 19, one day before Easter, reports International Christian Concern. The sealing occurred only one day after the congregation held a Good Friday procession to mark one of the three holy days of Easter at their Prayer House.  250,000 attended Pope Francis' funeral Pope Francis' funeral took place in St. Peter's Square on Saturday morning, attended by 250,000 people, before his body was taken to his place of burial across the city, reports LifeSiteNews.com. (audio from male choir) Following the funeral, Francis' body was transferred back inside St. Peter's Basilica before then being placed into a popemobile. His coffin was transported across the city, making a ceremonial tour of Rome's historic center including the Colosseum and Roman Forum. In a rare break from tradition, Francis chose not to be buried inside St. Peter's Basilica, like many of his predecessors. Instead, he selected the Basilica of Saint Mary Major in Rome as his final resting place, reports ABC News. President Trump's fashion faux pas at Pope's funeral Unlike the other heads of state who were dressed in black, U.S. President Donald Trump wore a blue suit and blue tie.  By contrast, First Lady Melania Trump wore a black dress and black veil. The official dress code for the funeral at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City required men to wear a dark suit with a black tie and a black button on the left lapel. Women were asked to wear long black dresses, gloves, and a veil. Former Democratic judge harbored El Salvadoran gang member Attorney General Pam Bondi said that one of the three illegal aliens involved in the arrest of a former Democratic New Mexico judge had images of a decapitated victim on his cell phone, reports The Blaze.com. Bondi offered the revelation as evidence that the illegal alien, allegedly harbored by former Judge Jose "Joel" Cano, was a member of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang from El Salvador. In February, Cano resigned from his office after his residence was searched. Last Friday, the former judge was arrested. Democrats have objected to the arrest and accused the Trump administration of abusing government powers.  When Bondi appeared on Fox News, she explained why the judge was arrested. BONDI: “Judge Cano is charged with allegedly giving him assault rifles, AK47s, AR15s, with a suppressor, a known [Tren de Aragua] member, letting him go to a shooting range to refine and perfect his shooting skills.” She added that Judge Cano has been charged with obstruction, saying, “He admitted post-Miranda [that] he took one of the TDA members' cell phones himself —beat it with a hammer, destroyed it, then walked the pieces to a city dumpster to dispose of it to protect him." Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre dies by suicide Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted pedophile, took her own life last Thursday, reports the New York Post. In a statement to NBC News, the 41-year-old's family said, “It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.” Giuffre took legal action against billionaire financier Epstein in 2015, alleging that she was sex trafficked at age 16 after his ex-lover and convicted madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, recruited her from her job as a locker room attendant at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. She is survived by her three children -- Christian, Noah and Emily. The mom of three also alleged she was forced to have relations with disgraced Prince Andrew three times when she was 17 — including at Epstein's Little St. James island, in New Mexico and in Maxwell's London home, where the notorious photo of her posing with King Charles' brother was taken. While Prince Andrew denied the allegations, he settled out of court with his accuser for a hefty $12 million in 2022. Her family told NBC News, “In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.” Jay Leno, whose wife has advanced dementia, honors marital vows And finally, in a new interview on In Depth with Graham Benzinger, comedian Jay Leno, who hosted NBC's The Tonight Show for 20 years, revealed that he's been caring for his wife, Mavis, who has advanced dementia for five years now. LENO: “We've been married 45 years. The first 40 unbelievable, last five have been challenging. When you have to feed someone and change them and, you know, carry them to the bathroom and do all that kind of stuff every day, it's a challenge. Leno referenced his wedding day vow. LENO: “I like taking care of her. When I got married, you sort of take a vow. Will I live up to this or will I be like a sleazy guy or something happens to my wife? That's really what love is. I'm glad I didn't cut and run. I'm glad I didn't run off with some woman half my age, or any of that silly nonsense, you know?” 1 Corinthians 13:4 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. …” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, April 28th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Last Friday's US data showed a notable improvement in late April consumer sentiment, but only for registered Republicans. Consumers today are buying goods imported before the oppressive burden of trade taxes (on average, it will take about three months for pre-tax inventory to be used). This means economic reality has not penetrated the partisan media bubble around consumers. Businesses are faster to react, with uncertainty fueling a collapse in US port activity as companies “wait and see”.

Back at it with episode 80, Nick holds the fort down this episode. We kick things off with a celebration of one of the greatest hood movies of all time: Friday. The movie turns 30 in 2025, and Nick asks if it is the greatest hood movie of all time, over Boyz in the Hood, Menace 2 Society, and more. His answer may surprise you based on quotables, longevity, cast, and messaging in the movie. After that, social media is flooded with pictures left and right of Mt. Rushmore on certain subjects from Air Jordans, comedians, basketball players, etc. One that has struck with Nick for this episode to discuss is a picture of white rappers on Mount Rushmore. Nick gives his thoughts on the picture and gives his opinion of his version. Later, rapper Dody6 featured on Kendrick Lamar's "Hey Now" is now blaming him for being homeless after Dody claims that the song didn't do anything to help him financial wise. Nick asks questions about the entire situation and gives advice for Dody about what to do next.

It's Monday, April 14th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus U.S. missionary abducted at gunpoint while preaching in South Africa Josh Sullivan, a U.S. Baptist missionary, was kidnapped at gunpoint as he preached Thursday evening at Fellowship Baptist Church in Motherwell, South Africa, reports International Christian Concern. According to police, four masked gunmen entered the church late last night during a prayer meeting with about 30 attendees. The assailants stole two cell phones before abducting the 45-year-old pastor and taking him in his own vehicle, a silver Toyota 4Runner. The car was later found abandoned about a mile from the church.   A husband and father of six, Sullivan has been a missionary in South Africa since 2018. Sullivan and his family are members of Fellowship Baptist Church, an independent Baptist church in Maryville, Tennessee, where Sullivan has been on staff. His wife and children are among those who witnessed the kidnapping. Here at The Worldview, we're reminded of the inspiring words of Christ following Peter's bold affirmation. In Caesarea Phillipi, Peter said that Christ was “the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” That's when Jesus said in Matthew 16:18, that upon that revelation, He would build His church, and “the gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Join me and pray that the Lord would honor Josh Sullivan's preaching and safely restore him to his family. China raises duties on US goods to 125% Last Friday, China hiked its tariffs on imports of U.S. goods to 125%, hitting back at Donald Trump's decision to single out the world's No.2 economy for higher duties, while dismissing the U.S. president's tariff strategy as "a joke," reports Reuters. Investors had been waiting to see how Beijing would respond to Trump's move on Wednesday to effectively raise tariffs on Chinese goods to 145% while announcing a 90-day pause on tariffs on dozens of other countries' goods. Last year, China purchased $150 billion of U.S. goods. White House Press Secretary prays to Jesus before briefing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is the youngest person to ever serve the president in that capacity at the age of 27. Not only is she an articulate champion for President Donald Trump and the “Make America Great Again” agenda, but she is also an unashamed follower of Jesus Christ. Listen to this simple, powerful, and unapologetic prayer to her Savior  just moments before she walks into the lions' den of the White House Press Briefing. LEAVITT: “Lord Jesus, please give us the strength, the knowledge, the ability to articulate our words, have fun, and be confident. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Gone are the days that a lesbian God-hater stands at that podium. Judge: Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported Last Friday, an immigration judge in Louisiana ruled that Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil can be deported from America because he is a national security risk following his pro-Hamas demonstrations at Columbia, reports the Associated Press. Immigration Judge Jamee Comans gave the green light to the Trump administration's desire to deport Khalil.  Without such deportation, the government contended that his presence posed “potentially serious foreign policy consequences.” Colorado Governor signs anti-gun law Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a self-professed homosexual who has entered into a faux marriage with his “husband,” has dealt a heavy blow to Coloradans' Second Amendment freedom by signing Senate Bill 3 into law, reports the Colorado State Shooting Association. This oppressive permit-to-purchase scheme is a direct attack on their Second Amendment rights, afflicting Coloradans with bureaucratic hurdles to block their God-given liberties, President George Washington declared, “The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference—they deserve a place of honor with all that's good.” RFK, Jr vows to know causes of autism epidemic by September As he sat in Trump's Cabinet meeting, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke to the autism epidemic and what he proposed to do about it. KENNEDY: “The autism rates have gone from one in 31 from one in 10,000 when I was a kid. At your direction, by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic.” Kennedy noted that HHS has “launched a massive testing and research effort that's going to involve hundreds of scientists from around the world.”  Once they have identified the causes, hopefully by September, HHS will advocate for the elimination of those exposures. Libraries partner with Planned Parenthood to offer free sex health resources And finally, if you thought the library was a place to borrow books for a research paper or read the local daily paper, think again! Twelve Sacramento, California Public Libraries now feature “sexual health resource cabinets” inside public libraries to give the public, including children, access to items like condoms, Sexually Transmitted Diseases tests, and pregnancy tests, reports CBS News. These cabinets are being stocked by none other than Planned Parenthood, America's Abortion Giant, which killed 392,715 pre-born babies in 2023 alone.  In fact, QR codes on the free literature not only enables library patrons to easily find their local Planned Parenthood affiliate, but also to get their immoral worldview through their God-forsaken website. Michael Reed, a parent, was disturbed by the easy access to the sexual health resource cabinets, especially for kids. REED: “It's a little shocking. It seems a little inappropriate just to target children that way.” But Todd Deck, the community engagement services manager for Sacramento Public Libraries, thought the libraries were doing something wonderfully noble. DECK: "We want to remove the stigma around these resources. Libraries are essential to healthy, thriving communities. So, having resources that are of interest and needs of that community is really critical. I do believe it is our responsibility to help have an informed community regardless of the topic -- that way people can make informed decisions about their health." Greg Burt, Vice President of the California Family Council, rejected the librarian's absurd worldview. BURT: “Now parents would have to be concerned. Instead of coming back with a book, they're going to come back with a condom. “This is really about cutting parents out. It's about sexualizing our kids at younger and younger ages.” In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in Me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Not surprisingly, the cabinets have been re-stocked multiple times since being installed six weeks ago as they have been set up both in the library's main hub and in the adult section. Elizabeth Johnston, a Christian mother of 10, is not surprised by the hostility to a Judeo-Christian worldview at the library. The American Library Association's one-time president Emily Drabinski, who served from July 2022 to 2024, was a self-avowed “Marxist lesbian.” She wrote a paper on “queering the catalogue” and said wildly inflammatory things about parents who do not want their children to read sexually inappropriate literature. So, keep in mind, the library is no friend of the family. Enter with caution.

The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are:  ✨ Iceland's (more or less) only whaling company Hvalur hf. (Whale ltd.) will not be doing any whaling this year, even though they were recently issued permits to do so. According to the companies CEO, Kristján Loftsson, the “price development of our products in our main market, Japan, has been unfavourable lately and is getting worse, which makes the price of our products so low that it is not justifiable to continue fishing,” Mr. Loftsson also pointed to the market uncertainty brought about by the USA's tariffs. We discuss.✨ Last Friday, Iceland formally opened discussions with the EU on defence and security cooperation when Foreign Minister Þorgerður Katrín Gunnarsdóttir, met with the EU's Andrius Kubilisu and Kaja Kallas. We discuss that, and questions about whether the USA might simply “veto” such cooperation.✨ A car owner in Kópavogur reported his car stolen on Thursday night. The car had not been stolen, the owner had simply forgotten where it was parked.✨ On Tuesday, an unidentified male tried to blow up an ATM in Hafnarfjörður. This failed. In December a couple of masked perpetrators on a stolen car tried to steal that same ATM by attaching it to the car and pulling it out of the building. That also failed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

It's now been more than five months since North Carolina voters elected incumbent Justice Allison Riggs over challenger Jefferson Griffin to a state Supreme Court seat, but amazingly, Republican efforts to overturn the election continue.

Big O talks Last Friday

Last Friday, the Securities and Exchange Commission held its first-ever crypto roundtable, a discussion with industry leaders and skeptics to answer a grand question: how should the SEC regulate crypto? Should SEC officials regulate crypto tokens like bonds and stocks? The agency under President Donald Trump is taking what many see as a friendlier approach to cryptocurrency and has already dropped a number of lawsuits against various crypto exchanges initiated during the Biden Administration. Axios reporter and author of the Axios Crypto newsletter, Brady Dale, returns to the show to discuss why the question of regulating crypto like a security asset is a very complicated one to answer.

Last Friday, President Trump spoke before a gathering at the Department of Justice to lay out what was seen largely as a grievance fest, singling out individuals and media organizations he perceives as his enemies. Main Justice hosts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord lay plain the unorthodox nature of a speech like this, especially before a department that is meant to maintain independence from the executive branch. But that was just the start of a wild weekend, after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants, just as a court order blocking their removal was filed. So, Andrew and Mary tackle the latest developments in several buckets before breaking down the Supreme Court's consideration of the request by the president to lift the pause on his birthright citizenship executive action.Want to listen to this show without ads?

It's a B1G week here at Y-Option both with our guests and on the news front. Thanks to our founding partner 76, today's guest is the founder of Breneman Media and host of the “Next Up” podcast, Adam Breneman. More on Adam in a moment, but first the big news…Last Friday, the Ducks made a statement - not just to the Big Ten, but to all of college football. Dan Lanning, along with coordinators Tosh Lupoi and Will Stein, signed well-deserved contract extensions, ensuring Oregon remains a powerhouse under their leadership.It got me thinking about the first time I met Dan. It was at Camp Tontozona, and he was a young graduate assistant with big dreams. We stood on the field before practice, talking about the team, his path, and mine. From that moment, I knew he was going places.Since arriving in Eugene, Dan has stood out—not just for his coaching acumen, but for his perspective on life. Family first, profession second. He's a devoted husband and father who believes that elite programs can still find balance. Now, entering his fourth season as head coach, he's not only built one of the nation's premier programs but also led Oregon to an undefeated regular season and a Big Ten title last year.College football is full of impressive leaders, but it's always special to see the “good guys" get rewarded. Huge congratulations to Dan, Tosh, Will, and their families - each one of them deserving of these contracts and the continued success in Eugene. More of my thoughts on Lanning & the Ducks in today's podcast.TODAY'S GUEST: ADAM BRENEMANSpeaking of success, today's guest, Adam Breneman, knows a thing or two about it. He calls himself a sports entrepreneur, media personality, and creator. I call him a friend - one with an infectious optimism about life, content, and the power of sports.We've known each other for a decade and share the experience of transitioning from coaching to media. In this conversation, he shares insights into his business, advice for content creators, his approach to interviewing big-time head coaches, and why he believes the Big Ten is the nation's top football conference. He also opens up about one of the darkest times in his life - leaving Arizona State in the public eye - and how he navigated that journey.This episode will leave you inspired to create, to push forward, and to see challenges as opportunities.As always, our conversations are powered by our founding partner, 76, keeping you in the know on the Go, Go, Go.For more insights into college football, subscribe to our newsletter at Y-Option.com.Much love and stay steady,YogiThis episode is executive produced by Jim Thornby & edited by Victor RenThis podcast is a Best Coast Media productionY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.
