HEADLINE: Jimmy Lai's Imprisonment Highlights UK's "Stovepiped" Diplomacy with China GUEST NAME: Mark Clifford 50 WORD SUMMARY: Jimmy Lai, a jailed British citizen and prominent Hong Kong dissident, is a litmus test for freedom. The Starmer government is now showing movement, potentially working with the US for his release. The UK faces criticism for "stovepiping" diplomacy, failing to link Lai's freedom to economic issues, such as China's desired mega embassy. China asserts ownership over Lai based on his ethnicity. 1874 HONG KONG
Spookies, there's no better way to celebrate a season finale than with some serious discourse, so we figured it was about time we get into American Psycho (2000). This flick has had a major impact on pop culture over the years — but it also might be one of the most misunderstood pieces of media. For our final episode of Season 5, we decided to wade into the fray as we break down director Mary Harron's commentary, discuss commitment king Christian Bale's performance, and really take a magnifying glass to the details on those iconic business cards.

The broadcast frames the ongoing saga of Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a crucial political test for the Democratic party. Despite facing human smuggling charges and documented allegations of MS-13 gang affiliation, the Salvadoran national is being championed by prominent Democratic politicians and activists. The speaker argues that this support reveals the party's true strategy: relying on illegal immigration as a means to build their voting base. The commentary highlights the legal and ethical questions surrounding the case, including Abrego Garcia's argument that he cannot be deported to El Salvador due to rival gang threats, and a GoFundMe campaign demanding his release. The segment also touches on the political implications of the case, linking the "fight for Saint Kilmar" to a broader struggle for the future of the United States.

In today's episode, Colleen peels back the curtain on one of the most radical shifts we can make: recognizing that we are not our thoughts—we're the observer behind them. What starts as a reflection on managing the energy in your body becomes a masterclass in emotional authorship, reminding us that our thoughts, not our circumstances, are what create our lived reality. Using the metaphor of a self-driving car, Colleen breaks down how most of us are unconsciously letting outdated programming steer our lives. But it doesn't have to be that way. When you take back the wheel—choosing how you want to feel and filtering your thoughts through that emotional compass—you begin to rewrite the narrative of your life, one aligned action at a time. This episode is both a wake-up call and a permission slip: to believe what feels good, let go of what causes suffering, and trust that healing your inner world is how you change the outer one. If you've ever wondered whether it's really possible to feel free, peaceful, and powerful in your own skin—this is your answer.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the use of AI facial recognition technology to ration aid to people in Palestine as Israel deploys the technology while denying most people food in the region, leading to 60 children dying of starvation. We are witnessing a horrifying act of evil at the hands of Israel in Palestine as children are suffering, yet Israel is using their technology as a litmus test for the rest of the world. With AI facial recognition deciding who does and doesn't get food, we are seeing similar technology get developed to use on Americans and British citizens as 1 in 3 Americans are cutting insurance costs to afford food and the supply chain gets devastated by a plethora of attacks. All by design. This is how they force us into the technocratic system. New York City wants food police to determine what people can and cannot buy for food which is of course a shift into food rations. The UK government is announcing supermarkets will also police what is in your shopping cart and limit purchases. Chicago wants to create government run grocery stores which will ration food to people. As Amazon is buying up massive industrial land holdings, they expect 50% of workers to be robots in the immediate future. They're placing bans on meat and travel by 2029 in the UK as they role out digital IDs and CBDCs. The same goes for the EU, Australia, Russia and others and now as Trump roles out the Big Beautiful Bill, the US will be captured by an AI based technocratical system of control. Peter Thiel claims AI is the only thing that can save the world as he develops this control system alongside Elon Musk who is launching XMoney.

Uncork Capital Partner Amy Saper shares practical advice for early-stage founders building AI-enabled tools for engineering, product, and design teams, or as she describes them, "products that make you not want to quit your job." Drawing on her experience in product marketing at Twitter, Uber, and Stripe, she explains why storytelling is an underrated founder skill, how to refine your ideal customer profile, and why it's good to reverse-engineer a roadmap from your Series A goals. She also shares tips for assessing founder/investor fit, when (and when not) to launch, and why she cares more about your conviction than your TAM slide.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 21, 2025 is: litmus test LIT-mus-TEST noun A litmus test is something (such as an opinion about a political or moral issue) that is used to make a judgment about whether someone or something is acceptable. // At our family's Thanksgiving dinner, the litmus test for good mac and cheese is whether or not it is baked. See the entry > Examples: “The audience in a Broadway show can be intoxicating, and it's like a litmus test. If a joke doesn't land one night, you tell it differently the next night. It's terrifying, on set, to have no idea if something is working.” — Erika Henningsen, quoted in The Hollywood Reporter, 1 May 2025 Did you know? It was in the 14th century that scientists discovered that litmus, a mixture of colored organic compounds obtained from lichen, turns red in acid solutions and blue in alkaline solutions and, thus, can be used as an acid-base indicator. Six centuries later, people began using litmus test figuratively. It can now refer to any single factor that establishes the true character of something or causes something to be assigned to one category or another. Often it refers to something (such as an opinion about a political or moral issue) that can be used to make a judgment about whether someone or something is acceptable or not.

This is a new experiment that FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, hopes will expand the international soccer market and make FIFA more money.

Alex also notes that the cup is in the United States and the specter of Trump's immigration crackdowns lurks over it.

Drawing a parallel to a scientific test, this business application is presented as a way for contractors to gauge their readiness, alignment, and ability to perform under pressure, particularly when interacting with customers. Eric and his circle's discussion focuses on role-playing with peers as a key method for conducting this test, allowing individuals to receive honest feedback on their communication skills, tonality, and overall approach. The conversation also highlights the importance of a contractor's license as a form of initial qualification and the need to assess both the contractor and the potential client for suitability. Ultimately, regular "testing" through practice and peer review is emphasized as crucial for preventative maintenance and continuous improvement in the contracting profession. Key Takeaways: Regularly practice through role playing or similar tests to sharpen your skills and improve how you handle pressure. Listen actively to fully understand your customers' needs and build connection. Seek and accept honest feedback from peers or mentors to identify and correct your weaknesses. Consistent training and practice is preventative maintenance that helps you avoid slipping up and losing potential jobs. Ensure your business is fully licensed and insured and be ready to demonstrate your credibility to clients.

On this episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show, I want to prevent you from making a mistake that might potentially ruin you. When you do your due diligence on your next purchase, make sure to find out how many owners the property has had in the past ten to fifteen years, and why the owner is selling it. More often than not, if the property has had two or more owners, there's a reason why no one wants it, and you shouldn't either. Watch this video to see me go into detail and give an example of how I avoided buying a money pit.

Instead, a deep fundamental basis that connects repo, interest rates foundations, global banks, and the recent deflationary developments.
