    A Note from James:In the last episode, we talked about whether Martin Shkreli really deserves the label “most hated man in America.” My conclusion was no, and I hope you came to the same conclusion after hearing his perspective.In this episode, we shift gears completely. We talk about Bitcoin, crypto, AI, energy, optical computing, and what the future of technology might actually look like.Martin has a very unusual combination of skills—finance, biotech, programming—and I always enjoy hearing how he connects ideas across different fields. That's what this conversation is about.Episode Description:What happens when AI demand collides with the limits of computing power and energy?In Part 2, Martin Shkreli and James explore the future of technology—from crypto vulnerabilities to optical computing, GPU scaling, and the potential energy crisis driven by artificial intelligence.They discuss whether Bitcoin can survive quantum computing, why stablecoins solve real-world financial problems, and how computing architecture may shift beyond traditional silicon chips. The conversation then moves into AI economics: why companies might spend billions on compute to make better decisions, how energy constraints could shape innovation, and why optical computing could become the next major breakthrough.This episode isn't about controversy—it's about technological leverage, incentives, and where computation is heading next.What You'll Learn:Why quantum computing could eventually threaten Bitcoin's encryptionThe real-world advantages of stablecoins and decentralized paymentsHow AI demand could create massive new energy constraintsWhy optical (photonic) computing may outperform traditional silicon chipsHow businesses might use large-scale AI compute for strategic decisionsTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] Bitcoin, Encryption & Quantum Computing Risks[00:03:02] A Note from James[00:03:34] Crypto Markets: Speculation vs. Utility[00:05:23] Banking Control, Debanking & Stablecoins[00:07:40] Moore's Law, Huang's Law & The Limits of Silicon[00:08:45] Optical Computing Explained[00:09:12] NVIDIA, Parallelization & Power Consumption[00:10:24] Energy Constraints & The Electrical Grid[00:11:41] AI Energy Demand vs. Countries[00:12:24] Corporate AI Decision-Making at Scale[00:13:37] The Coming Explosion of AI Compute[00:14:20] Energy Efficiency vs. Speed[00:15:17] GPU Efficiency Improvements & Jevons Paradox[00:17:00] Why AI Is Different from Traditional Computing[00:17:47] Optical vs. Quantum vs. DNA Computing[00:18:19] Why Optical Computing Fits AI Perfectly[00:19:28] Precision, Bits & Neural Networks[00:21:24] Error Tolerance in AI Systems[00:22:00] Fiber Optics & Existing Infrastructure[00:23:16] New Computing Paradigms Beyond Silicon[00:24:00] Matrix Multiplication & AI Workloads[00:24:53] Closing ThoughtsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Assuming we already understand the parameters of “good citizenship” (obey the law; do no harm to others), how to decide what constitutes a “well-informed” citizen? Tom Schnaubelt, executive director of Hoover's Revitalizing American Institutions (RAI) initiative, and Checker Finn, a Hoover senior fellow and chair of Hoover's Working Group on Civics and American Citizenship, introduce Hoover's pioneering “Civic Profile” which launches in early March – a three-part test that assesses civics-related values, knowledge, and engagement. Also discussed: how to keep the civics “push” going past the coming American semi-quincentennial in early July (is a decades-long “civics renaissance” feasible?), plus other RAI endeavors currently underway at Hoover (national civics fellows, a networking Alliance for Civics in the Academy, “People, Politics and Places” fellowships that bring rural undergrad and grad students to the Stanford University campus, plus Hoover's USA @ 250 lecture series on ideas, institutions, and civic traditions that have sustained America freedom dating back to the republic's founding).   Recorded on February 25, 2026.  ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Chester E. Finn Jr. is the Volker Senior Fellow (adjunct) at the Hoover Institution and President Emeritus of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. At Hoover, he chairs the Working Group on Civics and American Citizenship within the Center for Revitalizing American Institutions.

    Nature is protected by laws on paper, but what happens when those laws are not enforced? On the high seas, beyond national borders, illegal fishing, whaling, and environmental exploitation often operate in legal gray zones. Environmental lawyer and author Sarah Levy joins the show to unpack how international ocean law actually works, where it fails, and why enforcement remains the biggest challenge in marine conservation. Law and activism collide in this deep dive into Sea Shepherd, Captain Paul Watson, and the controversial role of aggressive nonviolence in protecting marine wildlife. We explore how direct action has influenced global whaling declines, how illegal fishing vessels are tracked and prosecuted, and whether NGOs working alongside governments can strengthen international environmental law. The High Seas Treaty is finally in force, but will it truly protect biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction? From enforcement loopholes to deep sea mining risks, this episode examines whether international agreements can deliver real ocean protection or whether it will take bold action to give marine conservation real teeth.

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260227dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Genesis 3:15 Who Will Win? Right in the middle of the wreckage, God speaks a promise. Adam and Eve have disobeyed. Trust is broken. Shame has entered the world. Everything good now feels fragile. And before the humans say a word—before they apologize, explain, or promise to do better—God talks to the serpent, “He will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” It’s a strange moment. God isn’t giving instructions. He’s declaring an outcome. This isn’t advice. It’s a verdict. Evil will not win. That promise matters because, if we're honest, it often feels like evil is winning. Sin feels strong. Guilt lingers. Death feels permanent. We see brokenness in the world and in ourselves, and we wonder if it's too deep to fix. We wonder if what's broken can really be made right. God's promise answers that question. Yes. And not because people improve, but because God intervenes. From the very beginning, God makes it clear that rescue will come from outside us. An offspring. A deliverer. Someone who will step into the fight we’re losing and win it for us. That promise runs like a thread through the entire Bible and leads directly to Jesus. When Jesus is nailed to the cross, it looks like the serpent has won. Jesus suffers. Jesus bleeds. Jesus dies. It looks final. But the cross is not defeat—it’s the decisive blow. Sin is paid for. God’s justice is satisfied. Satan’s accusation is silenced. And Jesus’ resurrection confirms it. The serpent struck Jesus’ heel, but Jesus crushed the serpent’s head. Death did its worst and still lost. That victory changes everything. It means your sin, real as it is, is not stronger than God’s grace. Your past, heavy as it may feel, does not define your future. Fear and guilt do not get the last word. Jesus does. Paradise was lost in a garden, but it was promised on a cross and procured at an empty tomb. God keeps his promises—even when everything seems broken. God’s answer is always bigger than our questions. Prayer: Lord God, thank you for keeping your promise to defeat sin, death, and the devil. When I feel overwhelmed by guilt or fear, remind me of Christ’s victory. Give me faith to trust in what Jesus has done for me and peace to live in the hope he has won. Amen.

    Jeffrey Epstein owned multiple properties in Colorado, including a large ranch near Edwards and a mansion in Aspen, yet there was never a known state or local criminal investigation into his activities there while he was alive. Despite extensive scrutiny of his conduct in Florida, New York, New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Colorado authorities did not publicly pursue charges, execute high-profile searches, or announce formal inquiries related to trafficking or abuse tied to his residences in the state. Law enforcement agencies in Colorado have stated in the past that they did not receive actionable complaints during the period when Epstein maintained homes there, even as allegations elsewhere were mounting.The absence of a Colorado investigation has drawn criticism from observers who question whether Epstein's wealth, social connections, and low-profile presence in the region contributed to a lack of scrutiny. Unlike in Palm Beach or Manhattan, where documented victim reports triggered investigative action, no comparable prosecutorial effort materialized in Colorado before Epstein's 2019 arrest in New York. As a result, questions remain about whether any potential misconduct tied to his Colorado properties was ever examined in depth, or whether the state simply never received complaints that would have compelled formal action.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Police say feds never contacted them about Epstein's Vail property | VailDaily.com

    Friday of the First Week of Lent - The Root of Sin

    Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20Imagine a wife asked her husband to go to the supermarket and pick up a pound of potatoes. Being literal, he went to the store, found a pound of potatoes, picked them up, set them back down, and returned home. When his wife asks where the potatoes are, he explains that they're still at the store. Confused, she asks why he didn't bring them home, and he responds, “You only asked me to ‘pick them up.'”While this example might be humorous, it illustrates an essential truth about following instructions. The husband might have technically fulfilled the request but missed the deeper meaning. In much the same way, the scribes and Pharisees in Jesus' time scrupulously followed the letter of God's Law but often failed to grasp the spirit behind it.Jesus addresses this issue directly in today's Gospel. The Law, as given by God through Moses, was summed up in the Ten Commandments. But Jesus came to reveal the deeper meaning behind those commands. For example, He explains the true meaning of the commandment, “You shall not kill.”On the surface, one might think that as long as you don't physically murder someone, you are free from guilt. But Jesus shows that this commandment goes far beyond the act of murder. He reveals that the commandment also forbids less serious internal and external sins.Jesus identifies three levels of sin related to this commandment. First is anger. Anger is an interior disposition; of the three sins, it is the least severe. It begins with a judgmental thought or condemnation and often results in feelings of anger. Though feelings are not sinful, allowing anger to take root due to rash judgment or contempt is a sin, even if no further action is taken. Jesus warns that harboring anger makes a person “liable to judgment.”The second level of sin is verbal, specifically calling someone Raqa. This Aramaic term is a derogatory insult, meaning someone is empty-headed or worthless. Such an insult externalizes anger and reveals a more profound disdain for the person and a failure to recognize the person's worth in God's eyes. Speaking this way to someone shows a lack of respect for his or her dignity as a child of God. Jesus warns that those who commit this sin will be “answerable to the Sanhedrin.” In other words, not only will God hold them accountable, but they may also need fraternal correction from family, friends, or the Church if they fail to repent.The most serious offense Jesus mentions is calling someone, “You fool!” In biblical terms, calling someone a fool is more than just an insult; it is a condemnation of the person's character. In Scripture, a fool is someone who rejects God and lives in moral corruption, as in Psalm 14:1, “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.'” To call someone a fool, therefore, is to cast judgment on the person's soul, associating that individual with someone who is cut off from God's grace. Jesus is stern in His warning: those who condemn others this way will be “liable to fiery Gehenna.”Reflect today on Jesus' teaching about the deeper meaning of this and other commandments. Lent is a time of turning away from sin and returning to God. If you struggle with anger, examine its roots. If rash judgment is at the heart of it, seek God's mercy and repent to find peace. If you've hurt others with critical or condemning words, especially if you've judged their moral character, confess this grave sin and remember that God alone is the Judge. Strive to fulfill not only the letter of God's Law but also its spirit, and your life will bear abundant fruit.My meek and humble Lord, though You are merciful, You are also just. I turn to Your mercy today, seeking forgiveness and grace to overcome the sin of anger and all that comes with it. Free me from judgmental thoughts, and help me love others with Your merciful Heart. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

    Days after Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home, their children Jake and Romy released a statement: "Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day. They weren't just our parents; they were our best friends."Their brother Nick has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty this week. The preliminary hearing is April 29th.But what about the siblings left behind?Jake Reiner, 34, was a news reporter before following his father into film. Romy Reiner, 28, is a photographer who found her father's body after a massage therapist couldn't reach her parents. Tracy Reiner, 61, was adopted by Rob during his marriage to Penny Marshall. "I came from the greatest family ever," she said after the deaths. "I don't even know what to say. I'm in shock."These siblings now occupy three roles at once: primary mourners with no parents to defer to, victims' next of kin with legal standing under Marsy's Law, and the family of the accused.Sources say they've cut Nick off completely—not visiting him in custody. But Nick isn't dead. His case will unfold over years. Every hearing, every headline, every legal development will force them to engage with what allegedly happened.Sources also say the family doesn't want the death penalty. DA Hochman has said he'll consider their input. But legal experts note that family wishes are "meaningful but not controlling."The trial could be over a year away. Through all of it, Jake, Romy, and Tracy will have to figure out how to keep living—and how to be a family without the people who held them together.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    She found the body. Romy Reiner, 28 years old, walked into her parents' Brentwood home on December 14th because a massage therapist couldn't reach them. She discovered her father in the master bedroom. She called 911. Hours later, her brother Nick was arrested.We've dissected Nick Reiner's case from every angle. His schizoaffective disorder. His conservatorship history. His not guilty plea. But this episode is about the three people navigating something the legal system barely has language for: being victims, primary mourners, and family of the accused—all at once.Jake Reiner, 34, followed his father into film after working as a news reporter. Romy, 28, is a photographer like her mother. Tracy, 61, was adopted by Rob during his marriage to Penny Marshall. Three siblings who lost both parents to alleged murder and now have to engage with a system that will drag this out for years.Sources say Jake and Romy have completely cut Nick off. They're not visiting. The decision is rooted in devastation. But Nick isn't gone—he's alive in a jail cell, awaiting trial, a permanent presence in headlines and legal proceedings.Sources also say the family doesn't want the death penalty. Under Marsy's Law, their input matters. But experts say it's "meaningful but not controlling." They can make their wishes known and still watch prosecutors decide otherwise.Psychologists call sibling grief "disenfranchised"—the sense that your loss counts less than everyone else's. But the Reiner siblings have no parents to defer to. They ARE the primary mourners. And they're carrying that weight while also processing that their brother allegedly killed the two people they loved most.April 29th. Preliminary hearing. The process continues.

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260226dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” Genesis 3:13 What Is This You Have Done? This question forces us to slow down and face reality. Sin isn’t just a mistake. It has consequences. It breaks trust. It damages relationships. It ripples outward in ways we don’t expect. Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed the serpent. We're not very different. We blame circumstances, upbringing, stress, or other people—anything to avoid the weight of responsibility. But excuses don’t heal what’s broken. God’s question isn’t meant to crush. It’s meant to confront. Because healing can’t happen without honesty. The Bible doesn’t minimize sin. But it also doesn’t leave us stuck in it. God names the problem so he can address it. And before humans ever ask for forgiveness, God promises a solution. That's the heart of the Christian message: God takes sin seriously—and he takes sinners seriously too. Instead of demanding that we fix ourselves, God steps in to do what we can’t. Jesus takes the consequences of sin on himself. The cross is where God’s justice and love meet. We don’t answer this question by pointing fingers. We answer it by looking to Jesus and saying, “Lord, have mercy.” And God does. Prayer: Lord, I admit that my sin has caused real damage. I confess that I often try to excuse myself instead of turning to you. Thank you for loving me enough to confront me—and for forgiving me through Jesus. Help me live in the freedom of your grace.

    A National Strategy to Prevent Scams — "United We Stand"

    Consumer Finance Monitor

    In a recent episode of the award-winning Consumer Finance Monitor podcast, Alan Kaplinsky was joined by Nick Bourke, Kate Griffin, and Ballard Spahr partner Joseph Schuster to discuss a groundbreaking new report from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program: United We Stand: A National Strategy to Prevent Scams. The episode builds on Nick and Kate's prior appearance on the podcast last July, when the report was still in development. Now finalized, the report offers one of the most comprehensive frameworks to date for addressing what has become a systemic threat to American households and the broader financial system. The Scope of the Problem: A Systemic Threat Frauds and scams are no longer isolated consumer protection issues. According to the report, U.S. households are losing an estimated $196 billion annually to scams — roughly $1 billion every couple of days. One in five American adults reports having lost money to an online scam. As Nick Bourke explained, today's scams are: ·                 Technology-enabled ·                 Highly organized and industrialized ·                 Often operated by transnational criminal organizations ·                 Accelerating due to AI and faster payment systems The so-called scam "lifecycle" includes four stages: 1.     Lead – Hooking the victim 2.     Deceive – Building trust (often through impersonation or relationship-building) 3.     Bleed – Extracting funds 4.     Clean – Laundering proceeds, often through cryptocurrency or offshore channels Different sectors see only fragments of this lifecycle; social media platforms may see the "lead," financial institutions the "bleed," and law enforcement the "clean." That fragmentation allows criminals to scale operations while defenders remain siloed. Why Scams Are Rising Despite Heavy Investment As Kate Griffin noted, industry and government are investing heavily in prevention. Yet scams continue to grow. Why? ·                 Fragmentation across sectors: No single actor sees the entire attack sequence. ·                 Outdated reporting infrastructure: Federal systems at agencies like the FBI and FTC remain manual and technologically antiquated. ·                 Regulatory uncertainty: Financial institutions and technology platforms face unclear expectations about what data they can use and share. ·                 Speed of modern payments: Faster money movement means faster losses. Joseph Schuster emphasized that many financial institutions are strongly incentivized to prevent fraud as they often bear reputational and financial risk when scams succeed. But legal ambiguity, especially under statutes like the Fair Credit Reporting Act, can chill data-sharing and innovation. Core Recommendations from the Aspen Report The report outlines both high-level national reforms and granular operational improvements with more than 180 specific ideas. 1. Elevate Scam Prevention to a National Priority The report calls for: ·                 A designated federal lead (or "czar") to coordinate strategy ·                 A whole-of-government approach ·                 Clear national goals and metrics Without centralized leadership, enforcement and regulatory actions remain fragmented.  2. Modernize Law Enforcement Reporting Systems Federal reporting portals, including Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), the FBI's complaint systems, and the FTC's databases, require modernization. The report recommends: ·                 Streamlined, automated reporting ·                 Backend data interoperability across agencies ·                 Advanced analytics and AI tools for enforcement 3. Establish Clear Duties to Act Paired with Safe Harbors One of the most important themes discussed was the need for: ·                 Clear expectations for banks, telecom companies, and digital platforms ·                 Safe harbors that protect companies when sharing scam intelligence in good faith Countries like Australia have already codified such frameworks. The U.S. has yet to establish similarly coordinated standards. 4. Build a Cross-Sector Information-Sharing Ecosystem Effective scam prevention requires: ·                 Exchange of scam indicators (malicious URLs, compromised phone numbers, device patterns) ·                 Interoperable information-sharing platforms ·                 Privacy-preserving architecture ·                 Legal clarity to mitigate antitrust and consumer reporting concerns Joseph noted that industry appetite for collaboration is strong but clarity and guardrails are essential. 5. Consider a U.S. National Anti-Scam Center The report explores the idea of a centralized "front door", potentially something like stopscams.gov, that would: ·                 Serve as a national reporting hub ·                 Provide victim resources ·                 Facilitate coordination among law enforcement ·                 Support public education campaigns Social Media and Platform Responsibility The discussion also addressed the evolving role of digital platforms. Scam activity frequently originates through: ·                 Paid advertisements ·                 Dating applications ·                 Direct messaging ·                 Fake investment websites Compared to banks, social media companies operate within a less clearly defined regulatory structure. Courts are increasingly developing theories of "platform liability," but statutory clarity is lacking. The report urges policymakers to define reasonable expectations for platforms — paired with safe harbors and practical tools that empower prevention rather than merely assign blame. What Happens Next? The key question: who implements this strategy? Kate Griffin emphasized that this is a whole-of-society problem requiring coordinated action by: ·                 Federal leadership ·                 Congress ·                 Financial institutions ·                 Telecom and digital platforms ·                 Law enforcement ·                 Civil society There have been encouraging developments, including: ·                 Treasury and State Department sanctions targeting transnational scam networks ·                 A joint DOJ–FBI–Secret Service initiative targeting Southeast Asian scam operations o   But much more remains to be done. Nick Bourke suggested that, one year from now, real success would include: ·                 A designated federal anti-scam lead ·                 A congressional commission ·                 Measurable national prevention goals ·                 Corporate adoption of formalized anti-scam strategies Joseph Schuster added that industry innovation is ongoing, particularly in artificial intelligence, biometrics, and authentication, but warned that fragmented state-level regulation could complicate progress. Key Takeaways Alan Kaplinsky closed the episode with several important observations: ·                 Fraud and scams are now a systemic threat, not a niche compliance issue. ·                 Prevention, not just reimbursement, must be the organizing principle. ·                 Coordination matters as much as authority. ·                 Good-faith companies need regulatory clarity, not just enforcement pressure. ·                 Reducing scams strengthens trust in the U.S. financial system and digital economy. The Aspen report reframes the debate. Rather than assigning blame, it calls for aligned incentives, shared responsibility, and coordinated national action. If the title of the report, United We Stand, becomes reality, the United States may finally begin to bend the curve on one of the most costly and fast-growing threats facing consumers today.

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and hands-on experience to create a unique deep dive into manifestation, consciousness, and reality creation.

Well, look at what happened to the person formerly known as Prince Andrew.Once a criminal gets caught in the grips of the rule of law - things often start to happen. Being arrested and facing the prospect of prosecution for your crimes tends to have a way of focusing the mind on one thing in particular: 'how in the hell do I get out of this jam? What can I do to save myself?' One of the things criminals do is begin to tell law enforcement authorities about the crimes of others in hopes of reducing their own charges or criminal exposure.What might Former Prince Andrew and other influential people who are being criminally investigated in countries around the world do with information they might have about the crimes of OTHER influential people?

    The Devil Within Wings of Prophecy — Part One: The Watchers in the Dark Something was watching Point Pleasant. Before the headlines. Before the legend. Before the bridge fell. In Part One of Wings of Prophecy, we begin a two-part investigation into one of the most chilling and enduring mysteries in American folklore — the wave of strange sightings that gripped a small West Virginia town in the thirteen months before tragedy struck. The story begins on a quiet November night in 1967, when four young people driving near an abandoned TNT plant encountered something impossible: a towering, winged figure with glowing red eyes that appeared to follow their car at highway speeds. What they reported would become the first of dozens of sightings. And the beginning of something far bigger than a local ghost story. As word spread, more witnesses came forward. A respected barber described strange lights — and the disappearance of his dog. Residents reported massive shapes flying over roads, perching on rooftops, and watching from the darkness beyond town. Law enforcement took statements. A journalist arrived. The story spread. And slowly, the community began to divide — believers and skeptics, fear and ridicule, curiosity and dread. But beneath the growing legend was something deeper: A town beginning to feel watched. Studied. Waited for. In this episode:     •    The first terrifying encounter near the TNT area     •    Deputy Halstead's investigation and the growing number of eyewitness reports     •    The arrival of reporter Mary Hyre and the national attention that followed     •    Strange animal behavior, unexplained lights, and escalating fear     •    How the legend of the Mothman took hold inside a community under pressure Because sometimes the most powerful monsters aren't just what people see. They're what fear does to a town. And while residents debated whether the creature was real… something else was happening in Point Pleasant. Something no one could see. A microscopic flaw inside the Silver Bridge — slowly growing, quietly weakening the structure that held the town together. Thirteen months later, that bridge would collapse into the Ohio River in less than sixty seconds, killing 46 people. And the question that still haunts the town remains: Was the Mothman a warning… Or was it simply waiting?

Pastor Nate Wright is joined by Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen to continue their Think Christianly series with “Think Christianly About Law (Part 1): The Meaning of Law, Natural Law, and Politics.” They argue that every “law word” of God orders creation, that all law is fundamentally religious (never neutral), and that removing God inevitably divinizes the state and fuels statism. They also challenge the appeal to “natural law” as common ground, calling Christians to recover the courage to speak God’s Word publicly—because from Him, through Him, and to Him are all things.

    Today on Stinchfield we expose the attempted Deep State disruption. A failed sabotage of President Trumps State of the Union Address. Viewers immediately noticed irregular audio levels and what sounded like deliberate over modulation of President Trump’s microphone, a tactic aimed at undermining the power of Trumps spoken word. There are NO mistakes in Washington, the annoying peaking audio levels was by design and someone needs to be fired over it. It should serve as a reminder that President Trump's political opposition doesn’t just sit across the aisle, it lurks inside the broken wheels of government itself. Still, Tuesday night will go down as one of the most defining moments of the modern political era. President Trump delivered what may have been the greatest State of the Union address of his career. The tone was confident. Measured. Presidential. But when it needed to be, it was also razor sharp. Over modulation or not. He didn’t just speak to the American people. He exposed the opposition in real time. And then came the moment no one will ever forget. When President Trump asked members of Congress to stand if they believe in putting the safety of American citizens first… Democrats stayed seated. Let that sink in. Border security. Law enforcement. Protecting families from violent crime. And they refused to stand. It wasn’t partisan politics. It was a defining image. One that told the entire country exactly where each party stands. The contrast could not have been clearer:America First versus America Last. We break down the strategy behind the speech, why the tone was pitch perfect, and how Trump once again forced Democrats to reveal themselves on the national stage.

    The Nancy Guthrie investigation just got a lot more complicated—and a lot more revealing about who we're dealing with.Law enforcement sources confirmed what many suspected: the doorbell camera images weren't all captured on February 1st. At least one image—showing the suspect without his backpack—was taken on an earlier visit to Nancy Guthrie's property. The theory? He showed up, saw the camera, got spooked, and came back with a plan to cover it with weeds.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta joins Hidden Killers to break down exactly what this means from a legal standpoint. Prior visits to the scene establish premeditation. They show planning. They transform the evidentiary picture from opportunistic crime to deliberate targeting. But there's tension in the official narrative—the Pima County Sheriff's Department is calling this "purely speculative" while sources keep leaking to major outlets.We also cover the massive reward escalation. Savannah Guthrie announced her family is offering $1 million for information leading to Nancy's "recovery." That word choice matters. Combined with existing rewards, we're now over $1.2 million on the table. At that number, loyalty starts to crack.But the DNA situation remains stuck. Mixed samples at a Florida lab are hitting challenges. No names are being investigated. The backpack and gloves found near the scene led nowhere. Forty thousand tips and counting, but no suspect identified.Bob Motta explains what this investigation phase looks like, what prosecutors need to build a case, and why the prior surveillance revelation could be the piece that eventually makes this prosecutable—if they ever find their guy.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260225dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” Genesis 3:11 Who Told You That? Before sin, Adam and Eve had nothing to hide. After sin, they were suddenly aware of their flaws. Shame entered the picture, and with it came a new voice telling them, you are not enough. God’s question exposes something important: shame doesn’t come from God. God didn’t tell them they were worthless, broken, or beyond hope. Sin did that. The lies did that. Those same voices are still loud today. You’re not good enough. You’ve failed too badly. If people really knew you, they wouldn’t accept you. God couldn’t love someone like you. God asks, “Who told you that?” The world defines us by success, appearance, and performance. Our own hearts replay regrets and failures. But God defines us differently. He sees sinners worth saving. He sees broken people worth dying for. The truth is, we are more flawed than we want to admit—but more loved than we ever imagined. Jesus didn’t come for people who had it all together. He came for people weighed down by shame. On the cross, Jesus took not just our sins, but our disgrace. He was mocked, rejected, and exposed so that we could be covered with forgiveness. When God looks at those who trust in Jesus, he doesn’t see shame. He sees his beloved children. So when the voices rise—when shame tries to tell you who you are—listen instead to the God who asks, “Who told you that?” Then hear what he tells you instead: You are forgiven. You are loved. You are mine. Prayer: Father, I confess that I listen to voices of shame instead of your truth. Forgive me for believing lies about myself and about you. Thank you for Jesus, who removes my guilt and gives me a new identity. Help me believe what you say about me. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

    Several parts of the state government are working to root out fraud from state programs. State lawmakers are considering legislation. And the Department of Human Services is reviewing payments to 14 Medicaid programs for possible fraud. It has delayed or suspended payments to some providers. Advocates for disability rights say people who rely on these programs are caught in the middle. At a senate human services committee meeting this week, several presenters described cases where people never received services that were paid for or abruptly lost services after payments were suspended. A group of legal experts will gather to talk about this issue Wednesday in a panel discussion at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. The event, titled “Disability Rights on Hold: How the fraud allegations and funding freezes are affecting the disability community,” is the opening to an exhibit about disability rights in Minnesota that will travel to three law schools this year. MPR News host Nina Moini talked with two of the panelists, disability lawyer Shamus O'Meara and University of St. Thomas law professor Elizabeth Schiltz, who is also one of the organizers of the panel and the traveling exhibit.
