What If Wednesday: Local Student Walkouts, Democrats Standing Up, KC Arsonist | 2-25-26See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For many girls in Uganda, one opportunity can alter the course of their entire future—and that opportunity often begins with education. Around the world, poverty creates barriers that shape a child's path long before adulthood. But through the work of ministries and local partners, those stories are being rewritten with hope, dignity, and the love of Christ. Aaron Griggs joins the show today to share how Cross International is helping young women stay in school, discover their God-given purpose, and step into a future that once felt out of reach. The Mission: Serving the Most Vulnerable Cross International exists to serve some of the world's poorest and most vulnerable children and families for the glory of God. Rather than operating independently, the ministry works through trusted local churches and organizations across Africa and other regions—partners who understand the communities, relationships, and long-term needs on the ground. This approach allows them to provide immediate help—such as food, clean water, and education—while also fostering sustainable, long-term change. Local leaders remain present long after programs begin, ensuring care that is relational, consistent, and rooted in the Gospel. The Everyday Realities of Poverty For many families in countries like Uganda, Malawi, and Zambia, daily challenges are not simply inconvenient—they are life-altering. A single meal may be the only food a child receives all day. Clean water often requires walking for hours to contaminated sources. Preventable diseases spread quickly due to limited medical care. Education is frequently out of reach because families cannot afford school fees. When children cannot attend school, their opportunities shrink dramatically. For girls in particular, the consequences are often more severe—and more permanent. Why Girls Are Especially Vulnerable When resources are scarce, girls are often the first to be pulled out of school. In some communities, families facing desperate financial strain may feel forced to arrange early marriages for daughters—sometimes as young as 11 or 12—simply to survive. This leads to a heartbreaking cycle: Education ends early Marriage and motherhood begin prematurely Economic opportunities disappear Poverty passes from one generation to the next Without intervention, the very pathway that could break the cycle—education—remains inaccessible. Local Partnership in Action: Project Princess Initiative One of Cross International's key ministry partners in Uganda is the Project Princess Initiative, based in Kampala. Together, they walk alongside vulnerable girls by: Helping them stay in school Providing mentorship and spiritual guidance Teaching practical career and life skills Building confidence rooted in their identity in Christ The goal is not only academic success but whole-person transformation—spiritual, emotional, practical, and relational.  As many girls grow older, something remarkable happens: they begin mentoring others. The hope they received becomes the hope they give. Karen's Story: From Hopelessness to Purpose Karen, a young woman from Uganda, once faced a future filled with uncertainty. After her father abandoned the family, her education stopped. Surrounded by poverty, drugs, and despair, she felt trapped and hopeless. Through Project Princess, everything changed. She returned to school. She encountered mentors who reminded her of her worth in Christ. She discovered a future she never thought possible. Karen eventually attended college and studied economics—an opportunity few girls from her background ever experience. Today, she mentors younger girls facing similar challenges and speaks passionately about the role of faith in her transformation. Her story reflects a powerful truth: when education, mentorship, and the Gospel intersect, lives change. Why Faith Matters in Education Cross International's work centers on more than academics. While education opens doors, true transformation begins in the heart. Their approach focuses on the whole person: Physical needs like food and clean water Emotional support through mentorship Practical training for future careers Spiritual formation through prayer and discipleship Education alone can inform the mind. The Gospel renews the heart and reshapes identity. Together, they empower girls to become who God created them to be. How You Can Get Involved Scripture calls believers to care for the vulnerable. Psalm 82:3 urges us to “defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.” For many, generosity becomes a practical way to live out that calling. Through partnerships like this: Food reaches children who would otherwise go hungry Education keeps girls in school Mentorship restores dignity and hope The message of Christ transforms lives A relatively small gift can create a lasting impact—helping a child receive education, care, and spiritual support for an entire year. Through FaithFi's partnership with Cross International, every $62 helps provide a vulnerable child with a year of support—including education, nutritious food, mentorship, and the hope of the Gospel. Larger gifts can extend that impact to multiple children and families. To learn more or make a one-time gift, visit FaithFi.com/Cross. As you steward the resources God has entrusted to you, this is a tangible way to defend the vulnerable, uplift the oppressed, and invest in futures filled with hope. One opportunity can change a life. Your involvement can help make that opportunity possible. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: We're expecting a car accident settlement this year. Will it be taxable, and do we report it as income? After medical bills and attorney fees, how should we think about tithing on what remains? Our estate is set up in a trust, and we have two adult sons who don't get along. Should we name just one as trustee and power of attorney, or appoint them both? I have $24,000 in credit card debt. A debt management plan would lower my interest rates, but the payments are more than I can afford. If I withdraw $6,000 from my Roth IRA—I'm over 59—to reduce the balance and lower the payment, would that be wise?

Local sports with A.J. Brammer.

Small businesses and budding entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to sample 18 events aimed at helping them to start or grow their business as part of this year's Local Enterprise Week in Dublin City. The initiative of the Local Enterprise Offices, supported by Enterprise Ireland and the local authorities, takes place from the 2nd to the 7th of March this year across the country. While there are hundreds of events taking place nationally during the week, there are plenty of events in Dublin City open to all. These events will focus on helping small businesses or anyone just looking to get started on their business journey to plan, start, sustain and grow. From AI and Green regulations to Food and Finance workshops, there will be something for every type of business across the week. Each of the 31 Local Enterprise Offices will be running a full programme of events in their area that will cover a variety of topics relevant to small businesses and those starting up. The events are open to all, from budding entrepreneurs to established businesses and offers the opportunity to get expert advice on key areas of business, from raising funds, improving your online presence, the benefits of AI, to how to make your business more productive and save money. Warren Cray, Head of Enterprise, Dublin City Council, said on the upcoming events: "Local Enterprise Week is the highlight of the year for us at LEO Dublin City. It's a real opportunity for businesses to step back and look at where they can grow, innovate, or perhaps become more sustainable — and to discover what support is right on their doorstep. Whether you're running an established business or you've been sitting on an idea and wondering where to start, this is the week to do something about it. I'd encourage anyone with even a passing interest to come along, you might be surprised at what's possible." The Local Enterprise Offices, located in the local authorities and funded through Enterprise Ireland, support thousands of small Irish businesses and entrepreneurs nationwide. Since their establishment in 2014, they have been the first stop for entrepreneurs and small businesses, and provide a range of supports, including funding, mentoring, training and sector-specific expertise to help guide businesses at any stage of their development. They also run key initiatives to foster entrepreneurship across the country, including Local Enterprise Week, National Women's Enterprise Day, the Student Enterprise Programme and the National Enterprise Awards. The Local Enterprise Offices are also running a campaign encouraging small businesses to save time, money, and energy by availing of their competitiveness and productivity supports, including Green, Lean and Digital for Business.

Not far beyond Dublin's busy streets lies a landscape of forest trails, heather-covered hills, and stories that stretch back thousands of years. The Dublin Mountains are closer than most visitors realize – and packed with history, mythology, and unforgettable views. trail in the Dublin Mountainsphoto courtesy of Ben Shorten, My Bike or Hike; used with permission This article is based on podcast episode 327 featuring Ben Shorten, owner of My Bike of Hike, guided tours around the Dublin area delivered in a sustainable way. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Dublin Mountains: An Easy City Escape with Ancient Stories The Dublin Mountains form the northern edge of a granite mountain range that stretches nearly 90 miles through Leinster. While they're often overshadowed by their Wicklow neighbors, this is where the range actually begins – right in South County Dublin. The rounded granite hills make for accessible hill walking rather than extreme hiking. Trails are generally approachable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness, making this a fantastic half-day or full-day addition to a Dublin itinerary. From many vantage points you'll enjoy: Sweeping views over Dublin City and the suburbs Panoramas across Dublin Bay and the Irish Sea Scenic outlooks into the Wicklow Mountains Forest walks and open heathland On a clear day, the views alone are worth the trip. Getting to the Dublin Mountains Without a Car Yes, you can reach the Dublin Mountains by public transport. Several bus routes connect the city and suburbs to trailheads and nearby villages. Services aren't always as frequent as visitors might hope, but options are steadily improving. With a little planning (and a quick online search), it's entirely possible to spend the day hill walking without renting a car. That accessibility makes the Dublin Mountains one of the easiest outdoor escapes from the capital. Prehistoric Tombs Older Than the Pyramids Here's where things get fascinating. On many of the Dublin Mountains' summits, you'll find prehistoric megalithic burial tombs, many of which predate the Egyptian pyramids and even Stonehenge. There's often little signage. No grand visitor center. Sometimes just a mound of stones quietly resting at the top of a hill. But these sites may be 5,000 years old. Fairy Castle cairnphoto courtesy of Ben Shorten, My Bike or Hike; used with permission One notable example sits atop a mountain commonly called Fairy Castle (also known historically by several names, including from the Irish language). The mound is believed to be an ancient tomb—possibly a passage tomb—yet it has never been excavated. What lies beneath remains a mystery. That sense of standing somewhere sacred and ancient, largely undisturbed, is powerful. You're quite literally walking where people walked thousands of years ago. Where Mythology, History & Archaeology Meet In the Dublin Mountains, it's common for prehistory, documented history, and Irish mythology to overlap. Mountains like Seefin and Seefingan (names derived from Irish) are linked to legends of Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the Fianna. According to mythology, these were hunting grounds and even “seats” of the great warrior himself. Climb the hill and you may find: A prehistoric tomb A mythological story tied to the summit Historical records from later centuries Few places weave together so many layers of story in one location. Hellfire Clubphoto courtesy of Ben Shorten, My Bike or Hike; used with permission The Hellfire Club on Montpelier Hill If there's one Dublin Mountains site many visitors have heard of, it's the Hellfire Club. Perched on Montpelier Hill, the remains of an 18th-century hunting lodge overlook the city with spectacular views. The lodge was built in 1725 by William Conolly, once one of the wealthiest men in Ireland. Local lore says that stones from a prehistoric tomb were used in its construction. Soon after it was built, legends claim the roof blew off – a punishment, some said, for disturbing ancient ground. Later, the building was associated with the notorious Hellfire Club, a group of aristocrats rumored to have hosted wild and possibly sinister gatherings there. While hard evidence is limited, the stories have endured for centuries. Today, visitors can walk up Montpelier Hill, explore the structure, and imagine the layers of history – prehistoric ritual site, 18th-century hunting lodge, and legendary meeting place. It's atmospheric, dramatic, and one of the best viewpoints near Dublin. Exploring the Dublin Mountains with a Local Guide Ben Shorten, owner of My Bike or Hike, offers guided experiences throughout Dublin – city, coast, countryside, and mountains – with a strong focus on local connection and sustainability. His approach includes: Supporting small, family-run businesses Using public transport where possible Sharing deep local knowledge and storytelling Introducing visitors to lesser-known but equally rewarding locations Rather than focusing only on the most crowded attractions, his tours highlight places that are just as meaningful – often with far fewer people. Tours can be booked directly through the website, and custom experiences are available upon request. The Dublin Mountains hikes are open to visitors and suitable for a wide range of fitness levels. Follow the adventures on Facebook and Instagram. 3 Places to Visit in the Dublin Mountains If you're heading into the hills, here are three locally loved spots worth adding to your plans: Hazel House (A Place to Eat)A cozy, family-run café tucked into the Dublin Mountains. Hazel House is known for rustic meals and produce grown in their own polytunnels.After a hill walk, there's nothing better than a hearty lunch made with local ingredients. Sophie's Sauna in Glenasmole (A Place to Enjoy)A newly opened hot-and-cold sauna experience hidden in the Glenasmole Valley. It's quickly become a favorite for those looking to relax after a hike – or simply soak in the mountain surroundings in a different way.Bonus: Sophie, the sheep (who thinks she's a dog), might greet you. Ollie's Honey Farm (A Place to Learn)Visit a local beekeeper producing award-winning honey from hives throughout the Dublin Mountains.Tours allow visitors to learn about beekeeping, taste truly local honey, and even suit up and see the hives up close. It's a hands-on way to connect with the landscape – through its flowers, bees, and flavors. The Dublin Mountains may sit just outside the city, but they feel a world away. Whether you're chasing panoramic views, ancient tombs, mythological tales, or a bowl of homemade soup after a hill walk, this landscape delivers. And once you stand on a summit overlooking Dublin Bay, it's hard to believe more people don't add it to their itinerary.

Elimination Chamber is not simply a February premium live event. The 2026 edition marks WWE's first televised event at the United Center since SummerSlam 1994, the first U.S.-based Elimination Chamber since 2021, and the final structural checkpoint before WrestleMania 42. With title implications and WrestleMania main event positioning attached to multiple matches, this show operates as a pivot point in WWE's calendar. We break down the full card in detail. The World Heavyweight Championship headlines in Chicago as CM Punk defends against Finn Bálor in Punk's hometown. What began as professional respect shifted into hostility after Bálor was excluded from the Royal Rumble match and responded with a direct assault on the champion. Despite reported hesitation from management within storyline, Bálor forced the issue and secured the title match. A Bálor victory would immediately reshape the WrestleMania 42 main event picture. The Women's Intercontinental Championship match between Becky Lynch and AJ Lee is built on competitive imbalance. Since returning, AJ has submitted Becky twice in non-title settings, creating a dynamic where the champion is defending not just a title but her standing within the division. This is less about opportunity and more about restoring hierarchy before WrestleMania season locks into place. Both Elimination Chamber matches will determine WrestleMania challengers. On the men's side, the field includes Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, Sami Zayn, Bron Breakker, and Damian Priest, with one final qualifying spot to be decided on the go-home edition of Raw. Historically, the Chamber has either elevated a rising star or reinforced an established main event presence. With a mix of veteran credibility and emerging power, WWE appears to be actively testing which direction serves WrestleMania best. The women's Chamber features Bayley, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Jade Cargill, and Shayna Baszler, with one final entrant pending. Complicating the stakes is Rhea Ripley's pending WrestleMania decision as Royal Rumble winner. The eventual Chamber victor will not know their WrestleMania opponent until Ripley makes her choice, adding strategic uncertainty to the structure. Beyond the in-ring narrative, we examine WWE's reported restriction of public Elimination Chamber watch parties within the Chicago market. Multiple local venues were allegedly informed they could not host public viewing events. With ticket distribution reportedly below configuration and entry prices exceeding $260, the move appears connected to protecting live gate revenue. We discuss the business rationale, the optics in a historically strong WWE city, and the long-term implications for fan goodwill. We also address the week's most significant off-screen development. Janel Grant appeared publicly at a Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence briefing, where she discussed the impact of non-disclosure agreements in workplace misconduct cases and referenced the NDA central to her lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon. Grant spoke about the mental health toll of being publicly identified, her SEC whistleblower status, and directed remarks toward TKO leadership. As WrestleMania season accelerates, we analyze the corporate, legal, and reputational implications for WWE and its parent company. Additionally, reports indicate uncertainty regarding Chris Jericho's AEW contract status, with speculation that his deal may be paused or frozen during his television absence. While AEW has not confirmed details, the timing raises legitimate questions about contract structure, injury clauses, and potential movement in 2026. Inside the Chamber, WrestleMania challengers will be determined. Outside the ring, issues of access, optics, and corporate accountability continue to shape the broader conversation. Episode 170 examines both dimensions with clarity and depth as WrestleMania season moves into its decisive phase. Listen now.

February is Black History Month – which, for many longtime Black D.C. residents, is every month, and inextricable from D.C. history. In an already rapidly changing city now facing growing, unprecedented challenges to its local communities, economy, and autonomy, this year's Black History Month has new weight for some residents.

Episode #491: The third episode in our five-part series features conversations recorded at the 16th International Burma Studies Conference at Northern Illinois University, where scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners gathered around the theme Dealing with Legacies in Burma. Held amid ongoing political turmoil and humanitarian crisis, the conference created a rare space for open dialogue and shared reflection. Insight Myanmar was invited into this environment to record conversations with a wide range of attendees, produced in collaboration with NIU's Center for Southeast Asian Studies. We hope these episodes bring listeners into the atmosphere of the gathering and into conversation with the people who continue to shape the field today. Naw Moo Moo Paw, a PhD candidate at UMass Lowell, grounds her research on disability caused by political violence during her own upbringing. Raised in the conflict-ridden Bago region amid landmines, forced labor, and death, she witnessed numerous civilian injuries, including of her own father. She completed a master's in Japan, where the quiet environment triggered long-suppressed PTSD stemming from her childhood experiences. Her current research examines post-injury political participation, social inclusion, and cultural interpretations of disability. She emphasizes that disabled people in Myanmar seek acceptance and community support more than financial aid and warns that unaddressed trauma may lead to future societal instability. Aye Minn discusses his work with an online university in Myanmar, which was formed after the 2021 coup to provide a learning space for teachers and students who left the state system. He characterizes his work as combining parahita, the Buddhist principle of acting for the good of others with atahita, or acting for one's own benefit… which Burmese culture often views negatively. He argues that self-improvement is inseparable from service, especially in a country where opportunity is rare. The university now operates largely on unpaid volunteer labor, reflecting Burmese society's long tradition of service and its scarcity of financial resources. He champions equity, urging Western scholars to recognize their privilege and consider more culturally adaptive academic standards. As he puts it, “We should bring more scholars who are underprivileged onto the table.” Grace, a master's student researching rare earth mining in Kachin State, explains that these minerals are essential for global technologies and green energy, but their extraction causes severe environmental and health damage. In northern Myanmar, communities face rising cases of skin disease, respiratory problems, and digestive disorders, intensified by post-coup instability. After restricting domestic mining, China shifted to Myanmar, where a complex mix of militias, the military regime, and the Kachin Independence Organization control territory. China pressures these groups to maintain mineral supply chains while Chinese investors conduct mining with little oversight, leaving toxic waste behind. Local resistance exists through petitions and faith-based organizing, but militarization and poverty limit effectiveness. Many villagers depend on mining for basic survival, reflecting longstanding resource-curse dynamics. She references recent reports of U.S. interest in sourcing rare earths from here, which could be of interest to Kachin leaders as it offers them a lifeline away from China.

She was gone, but her purse, identification, and vehicle were still there.

Local police, Texas Rangers, DPS Crime Lab personnel, K-9 units, volunteers, and later Texas EquuSearch combed fields and vacant properties in and around Seguin. Helicopters, drones, mounted teams, and sonar-equipped boats were used. No sign of Amber was found.On February 16, 2006, a Texas Department of Transportation worker discovered a badly decomposed body beneath a bridge at FM 725 and Grove Lane, roughly ten miles from Amber's home. Distinctive tattoos helped confirm the remains were hers. The autopsy listed the cause of death as undetermined due to decomposition, but investigators stated she had not arrived there on her own. In March 2006, a justice of the peace ruled her death a homicide.No one has ever been charged. Nearly two decades later, the case remains open.If you have any information about the murder of Amber Lyn Smith in Seguin, please contact Texas Crime Stoppers at (800) 252-8477.Get your GIRL SCOUT COOKIES here: https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/alice241168You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

I sat down with Capitol Hill reporter Juliegrace Brufke to unpack the explosive allegations surrounding Rep. Tony Gonzalez and his reported relationship with a former district staffer, whose tragic death last year has sent shockwaves through Texas politics and beyond. We walk through the timeline of the affair, the emergence of explicit text messages, claims of coercion, the husband's response, and Gonzalez's shifting public defense, including allegations of blackmail. Beyond the personal tragedy, we also examine the political fallout, from calls for Gonzalez's resignation and the potential for an expulsion vote to the razor-thin House majority and what this scandal could mean for the upcoming Texas primary.Disclaimer: This episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual misconduct and self-harm.Follow Juliegrace Brufke on X/Twitter.Chapters00:00 - Intro and Disclaimer03:25 - The Tony Gonzales Case with Juliegrace Brufke07:16 - What We Know and Background14:51 - New Details of the Case and Gonzales', Local, and Congressional Responses28:59 - Sealed Files, Endorsements, and Other Fallout37:26 - Gonzales' Relationships in Congress and Blackmail Allegation Details41:53 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

ow much should Olympic gold really matter to fans compared to a championship from your favorite team? A passionate hockey fan calls in to explain why representing your country means everything to players who've worn USA colors since childhood, but does that translate to the same emotional investment for fans? The conversation shifts to the unique path of hockey stars, why their stories aren't told the way football or basketball prospects are, and why that disconnect can make it harder for casual fans to feel attached. Then it turns to baseball and the emotional fallout from losing Pete Alonso. Are Mets fans truly furious… or just venting? Evan defends the idea that outrage fades once games start, while history shows that losing franchise icons often hurts more because the team collapses afterward. Plus, ticket-price nostalgia, Super Bowl memories, East Coast sports bias, and the lengths fans will (or won't) go to see a former star in a rival uniform. A wide-ranging segment on fandom, loyalty, and why winning ultimately cures everything.
