Is cholesterol bad? Is low cholesterol safe? In this video, we'll cover common cholesterol misinformation, how cholesterol was demonized, and the cholesterol truth you need to know now for better health.

In Episode 296, I sit down with Megan Sellstrom. Megan spent the last 13 years as a crime scene investigator in Louisiana. She recently identified the heaviness the profession was causing and made the courageous decision to walk away and step into a new phase of life.  Megan loved the career, as you'll hear on the show. It was fascinating, and she held a passion for it, but being subjected to violence for years took its toll. Her story is not unlike many people inside the profession, and she made the decision to prioritize her heart over her career.  Please enjoy Episode 296 of the Endless Endeavor Podcast.

Slower-than-hoped for duck seasons make for tough post-season social media discussions among duck hunters. Some says it's flooded corn further north of them. Others say there's other death-by-a-thousand-cut reasons. And since it's sometimes hard--and exhausting-- to make sense of my-way-or-the-highway arguing online, why not let listeners hear varied perspectives? Decide for themselves. Everyone was invited. Some declined. Today's guests include: Natalie Krebs, an Outdoor Life reporter that responded to Sen. Kennedy's letter with some deep-dive research; Hunter Lemoine, a Louisiana duck hunter that wants to improve duck hunting in his home state and is doing something about it; Dr. Bradley Cohen, a waterfowl research scientist that knows a thing or 3 about migratory habits and corn's local influence; Bill Cooksey, a former National Wildlife Federation employee that worked on the Vanishing Paradise initiative; and Brad Bortner, a former chief of migratory birds that sheds light on what the proposed corn study could possibly look like from a federal agency perspective. No shouting. No arguing. Just fellow duck hunters sharing their in-the-know insights.   ********** Read Outdoor Life Article: Has Hot Cropping Ruined Duck Hunting?

Eric Thompson interviews Ryan Wentworth and Michael Parsiola of Reve Realtors in New Orleans, Louisiana, who experienced a dramatic turnaround after realizing they had been running their business "on accident." After dropping from 20 million in volume to 13 million in a challenging market shaped by rising interest rates and skyrocketing insurance costs, they consciously decided to rebuild their business on purpose. The shift was not about chasing more leads. It was about returning to fundamentals, implementing consistent flow systems, and intentionally structuring their partnership. In 2025, they produced 29 million in volume, a 123% year-over-year Increase, while the market grew only 3%. They share how they streamlined operations, eliminated inefficiencies, and recommitted to consistent client touches including just sold mailers, newsletters, market reports, and highly creative live flow events like Saints football games and architectural cycling tours. They also discuss how they divide responsibilities within their partnership to maximize clarity and efficiency, with one focusing on listings and the other on buyers, while maintaining unified communication. At its core, their breakthrough came from moving from reactive to intentional, from accidental production to systemized flow, and from perfection paralysis to consistent action. Key Takeaways Being "on accident" often means managing incoming business without proactive flow systems Market shifts expose weak systems and force clarity Rebuilding from the ground up creates stronger, more efficient processes Intentional flow beats accidental momentum Mailers and market reports work when consistent and visible Auto flow creates visibility even when you are busy Invitations are as powerful as attendance for generating connection Creative, authentic flow tied to personal interests increases engagement Partnership clarity prevents confusion and builds client trust Clearly defined roles create efficiency and confidence Coaching provides accountability, fresh ideas, and perspective Perfection is the enemy of good and progress beats paralysis Consistency compounds, even if it feels small in the moment Memorable Quotes "We were managing the business that was coming at us, not on purpose." "We need to go back to basics." "We needed to know how the sausage is made." "Just sold cards were all in my head. Clients loved them." "We didn't want them to feel passed off." "Perfection is the enemy of good." "Look at where you were two years ago." "We're not a 10, but we're a 7, and that's way better than a 2."

It's Thursday, February 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British preacher challenges buffer zones around abortion mills A preacher in Britain is challenging the country's abortion buffer zones which effectively censor the Bible. Officials arrested, charged, and convicted Stephen Green for holding a sign with a Bible verse near an abortion mill in 2023. The verse was Psalm 139:13 which says, “For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Green stated, “As a Christian, I should be able to preach freely all over the land. Psalm 139 is about how we all belong to God from conception. Buffer zones and this conviction [are] a direct attack on the Bible and free speech.” Elon Musk endorsed new conservative political party in England Billionaire Elon Musk endorsed a new conservative political party in Britain last week. On Friday, Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe launched the Restore Britain Party. Musk shared the launch video on X which has received nearly 40 million views.  The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and the creeping Islamification of Britain. Rupert Lowe also stated the party will openly recognize the country's Christian heritage.  Listen. LOWE: “Restore Britain will openly recognize the Christian heritage that shaped this country's moral and civic foundation. (applause) Duty, restraint, forgiveness and, most importantly, fairness. These values created a high trust society. “Restore Britain will end the creeping Islamification of Britain. (applause)  Unfettered immigration from Islamic countries will end. (applause) Britain is a Christian country, and under Restore Britain government, it will remain a Christian country.” (applause) Church of England votes against blessing homosexual couples Last week, the Church of England  voted against proposals to allow blessing services for homosexual couples. The General Synod did not shut the door on the issue though, voting to investigate it in the future.  The move keeps the church from performing marriage services and blessing services for people living in unnatural relations. However, the Church of England's rules already allow blessing prayers within regular Sunday services for such couples.  Proverbs 25:26 says, “Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.” Franklin Graham preached in world's southernmost city Evangelist Franklin Graham  preached in Ushuaia, Argentina. It's known as the southernmost city in the world. Listen. GRAHAM: “What makes Ushuaia so special are the people. We love the people. If you can't remember anything else tonight, remember this: God loves you. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take our sins. We deserve death. We're guilty of sin. “Bartimaeus had no hope. There are many of you here tonight. You have no hope. Now, Bartimaeus cried at the right time. Jesus was passing by. The Bible says that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but he should have everlasting life.' “Will you invite Christ into your heart? Will you trust Him? Come. Come to Jesus.” Hundreds of people turned to Christ through the evangelistic outreach event. Graham wrote on X, “We give God the glory for each one who responded to the invitation to repent of their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.” Eighty-two percent of South Americans identify as Roman Catholic, but evangelicalism has been growing in recent decades.    Graham also plans to visit Peru next month. 21 states challenge mail-order abortion kill pills In the United States, 21 states and 60 members of Congress are challenging mail-order abortion drugs. Louisiana initiated the case, challenging a Biden-era rule from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The rule removed the in-person dispensing requirement for the abortion drug mifepristone.  Erik Baptist with Alliance Defending Freedom stated, “The Biden FDA's unlawful authorization of mail-order abortion drugs was meant to be a loophole around states that choose to protect life.” 41-year-old mother Olympic bobsledder wins gold (audio Olympic theme song) American Olympic bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor  won her first gold medal on Monday. The 41-year-old mother triumphed in the women's monobob event at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.  She is now the oldest gold medalist in an individual Olympic event. After the victory, she said this on Instagram: “The moment we prayed for. Glory to God.” Norway has won the most gold medals Nearly 2,900 athletes from over 90 countries are competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics.  So far, Norway has won the most gold medals and the most medals overall. In the medal count, Norway is followed by Italy and the U.S. A podium finish can mean big prize money for athletes. A gold medalist from the U.S. can win $38,000. Athletes from Singapore can make the most for winning an individual event at $792,000.   Christian missionaries sharing Christ & Bibles in Olympic crowds And finally, Evangelicals are sharing the Gospel at the Winter Olympic Games this year. Hundreds of Southern Baptists alongside International Mission Board missionaries are joining the crowds to share Christ and distribute Bibles. Karen Herfurth is in Italy with a group from Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama. She said, “This is a chance for Southern Baptists to reach more people and impact more lives! We may never know the difference this makes until we are in Heaven.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Chronic disease isn't just caused by what you eat. In this video, uncover the indoor lighting dangers you probably don't know about! Find out how to stop circadian rhythm disruption, melatonin suppression, and other modern lighting health problems.Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/46POGyB0:00 Introduction: Artificial light health effects1:45 Lux explained2:50 Why indoor lighting is bad for your health4:36 Indoor lighting and melatonin suppression4:57 Indoor lighting and sleep7:44 How to improve sleep and reduce circadian rhythm disruptionLight affects the circadian system, which in turn influences your mood, metabolism, hormones, sleep, and more. The circadian rhythm is a clock controlled by light and dark signals. In our modern-day environment, the days are too dim and the nights are too bright. During the day, sunlight is filtered through glass, preventing exposure to UV and infrared light, and at night, we're exposed to LED lights, TVs, phones, and tablets. We're dealing with a lack of contrast! Historically, humans were exposed to significantly more light during the day and minimal light at night. Modern lighting leads to melatonin suppression and affects your sleep and cortisol levels. Most people are not getting the restful sleep that they need. This affects the metabolism, insulin, blood sugar, and mood. Research has shown that bright nighttime light exposure can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. Increasing sunlight exposure alone can improve your blood sugar, while evening bright light exposure can worsen it. Constant lighting is even considered psychologically harmful. Humans have evolved with significantly more light contrast, so we're dealing with an ancestral mismatch. To restore your circadian rhythm and combat the harmful effects of indoor lighting, try the following:1. Make your days aggressively brightEnsure adequate sun exposure before noon, and avoid wearing sunglasses. 2. Make the night genuinely dark Turn off overhead lighting, use soft night-lights, and dim screens 3 hours before bed.3. Restore contrast Focus on bright light during the day and remove light sources from your room at night. Replace light bulbs with incandescent lights if possible. Addressing the problems with modern light is one of the easiest ways to improve sleep naturally and restore your circadian rhythm.

Order a catfish po-boy or a few pounds of crawfish in Acadiana any Friday between Mardi Gras and Easter, and you may be surprised to learn that your delight is another person's sacrifice. The Catholic tradition of abstaining from meat on Fridays in Lent is alive and well in Southwest Louisiana, a region where more than a third identify as Catholic. Thanks to the long list of Catholic churches and restaurants that roll out an array of delectable seafood options on Lenten Fridays, it's not much of a burden. St. Francis of Assisi in Breaux Bridge and the Knights of Columbus Council at St. Pius X in Lafayette both have long-standing Lenten fish fry traditions that bring together their communities and welcome anyone hungry for fried catfish, regardless of religion. Olde Tyme Grocery in Lafayette sells close to 2,300 seafood po-boys during the 40-day period. Religious abstinence never tasted so good.  The episode was reported and produced by Sarah Holtz.

Episode 437 of Airey Bros Radio is now LIVE on all podcast platforms — originally streamed on ABR YouTube on Feb 3, 2026.We're joined by Jim Giunta, Founder / President & Chairman of the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) — the governing body that's helped create college wrestling opportunity for thousands of athletes across the U.S., Canada, and beyond.In this conversation, Jim breaks down what the NCWA is (and isn't), why we should call them teams/programs — not “club teams,” and how wrestlers can start a program at their school the right way (hint: it starts with students, not coaches walking into the AD's office).We also get into NCWA Nationals (massive brackets + big-show atmosphere), transition teams (schools moving divisions who compete through the NCWA), the rise of women's collegiate wrestling (folkstyle + freestyle), and Jim's newest project — the National Collegiate Grappling Association (NCGA/NCGAA) with rules designed to reward real takedowns and action.Powered by Black Sheep Endurance Coaching / ☕ Value-for-value: BuyMeACoffee.com/AireyBrosTime-Stamped Show Notes (Episode 437)0:00 ABR mission: spotlighting opportunities beyond the “Power 4”0:40 Show open + intro: Jim Giunta joins (NCWA Founder/President)1:58 Jim's background + NCWA growth overview (teams, athletes, alumni)3:05 Why the NCWA matters: real opportunity for wrestlers who aren't D1 roster locks3:55 Jim's origin story: Pennsylvania to Texas A&M — “we ain't got no wrestling here”5:58 Starting wrestling in Texas: early club roots + building infrastructure6:39 Why Jim founded the NCWA (late 90s) and how it started with 13 teams8:34 Teams/programs vs “club wrestling” — why language matters9:09 The Apprentice School example + athletic-department funded programs10:02 NCWA as a wrestling-only governing body (not distracted by other sports)11:20 NCWA “D1 vs D2” structure + what “emerging programs” means12:24 “Orphan alumni” and rebuilding programs at schools that dropped wrestling14:04 Want wrestling at your school?

In 2025, MA ranked #1 on the Nation’s Report Card receiving the highest numeric score of any state on all four assessments for fourth and eighth grade math and reading. However, when it comes to post pandemic educational recovery overall, especially for lower income children, Massachusetts is still lagging behind other states…The Nation’s Report Card found that low-income children are more likely to test proficient in reading in Mississippi or Louisiana than in Massachusetts or New York, with MA often thought to have the best public school system in the country (and one that spends twice as much per pupil). We took a look at the statistics and asked you what your educational experience has been with your children. Do you believe structural changes need to be made to keep up with other states?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode: S05E42 — Wednesday, February 18, 2026 Hosts: Anna & Avery Network: Bitesz.com Podcast Network   In today's episode of Astronomy Daily, Anna and Avery cover six unmissable stories from across the cosmos. Here's what we're talking about in S05E42:   1. Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal Round Two NASA begins fuelling the SLS moon rocket tomorrow (Feb 19) for a second critical practice countdown. Engineers have replaced two seals and a filter after hydrogen leaks forced the February launch window to be abandoned. A clean test is required before NASA will commit to a launch date — currently no earlier than March 6. The four-person crew includes Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, each of whom will make history on the flight. 2. Moon Occults Mercury Tonight — Plus a Ganymede Transit Tonight, February 18, a thin crescent Moon passes so close to Mercury that observers in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia will see the Moon hide Mercury in a rare occultation. For everyone else, a stunning close conjunction is visible in the western sky just after sunset. Simultaneously, Jupiter's moon Ganymede transits the gas giant's face through the night. Two events, one evening. 3. Ariane 6 Launches Amazon Kuiper Satellites Europe's most powerful Ariane 6 configuration successfully launched 32 satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper broadband constellation today — a direct competitor to SpaceX's Starlink. The launch highlights both the commercial ambitions of Amazon's internet satellite programme and the ongoing resurgence of European launch capability. 4. 3I/ATLAS Update: JUICE Data Downlinking Now ESA's JUICE spacecraft is currently transmitting data it collected on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS back to Earth — the downlink window runs February 18–20. If successful, this would be the closest-ever spacecraft observations of an interstellar object. Meanwhile, 3I/ATLAS heads toward a close Jupiter flyby in March that may trigger fresh outbursts. 5. How Titan Formed — And Why Saturn Has Rings New research from the SETI Institute proposes a single ancient catastrophe that explains multiple Saturn mysteries at once: a moon called proto-Hyperion collided with proto-Titan about 400 million years ago. The merger debris re-accreted into Saturn's inner moons and left behind the iconic ring system. The hypothesis also explains Saturn's unusual axial tilt, Iapetus's orbital inclination, and the surprising youth of Titan's surface. 6. Russia's 30-Day Mars Engine Rosatom's Troitsk Institute is ground-testing a nuclear-powered magnetoplasma engine that its developers claim could reach Mars in 30 days — compared to 8 months for chemical rockets. With a plasma exhaust velocity of 100 km/s, the system is part of a global race toward deep-space plasma propulsion also being pursued by NASA's VASIMR programme and Chinese researchers. A flight prototype is targeted for 2030.     Follow & Connect

On today's episode, we discuss Mardi Gras, the deaths of Robert Duvall and Jesse Jackson, and how the media shapes public memory of cultural and political figures. James gives a detailed Tesla FSD update, describing how the car has “learned” his driveway, how new safety behaviors work, and why autonomous driving may soon handle complex traffic better than any human, especially in emergency situations like ambulance routing. The crew then turns to several recent shootings in liberal jurisdictions, noting emerging details about the Rhode Island hockey‑rink murder‑suicide and a British Columbia mass shooting, and arguing that transgender perpetrators expose a deeper mental‑health and public‑safety crisis than politicians are willing to admit. From there, they dive into voter integrity: zombie versus standing filibusters in the U.S. Senate, the SAVE Act's citizenship‑ID requirements, Nick Shiry's new voter‑fraud work in California, Michigan's post‑2020 ballot revelations, and lawsuits over “dirty” voter rolls in 25 states and D.C., all framed as proof that non‑citizen and even dead “zombie” ballots are diluting legitimate votes. The conversation broadens into mass immigration and block‑grant incentives, Fox's subtle editing of Marco Rubio's pro‑civilization NATO speech, and fresh revelations about Steve Bannon's reported efforts to help Jeffrey Epstein rehabilitate his image and assemble a 25th‑Amendment case against Trump, which leads the panel to conclude Bannon is an untrustworthy, ego‑driven political operative. They close with AOC's latest gaffes on Taiwan, Venezuela, and Israel, debate whether a “moderate Democrat” can exist in today's party, and revisit Louisiana's Cassidy–Letlow race and rebranded Liberty Vote (Dominion) machines as symbols of how political elites, media, and election technology converge to protect power. Don't miss it!

French for ‘Fat Tuesday,’ Mardi Gras reflects the Christian practice of the last night of consuming rich, fatty foods in preparation for the fasting season of Lent. Mardi Gras is the final day of Carnival before Ash Wednesday. Many related popular practices and traditions are associated with Carnival celebrations (especially in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA) before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitential season of Lent.

Lazy S-ing like a fat cottonmouth through low-lying country, Lac Calebasse's drought-induced water levels were so low during a recent duck hunt that fluted cypress butts shined like stark naked old ladies when Dale Bordelon's spotlight beams shined on them and our way to the duck blind, the prop chopping coon-tail most and churning mud the entire time. It was right here that Bayou Beast Calls originated. After dinner in his family's generations-old camp house, Dale describes the duck camp's history, past times and people, the region, ducks, calls and memories. Old school ain't so much gear. It's a mindset. An approach to duck hunting. And to living.    Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective, steps outside traditional Mafia territory and into a shadowy world just as dangerous—and just as fascinating: the international theft of ultra-rare automobiles.  Gary is joined by author Stayton Bonner, former senior editor at Rolling Stone, and legendary car-recovery specialist Joe Ford, the real-life figure behind Bonner's book The Million Dollar Car Detective. At the center of the story is a breathtaking pre-World War II automobile—the Talbot-Lago Teardrop Coupé—once described as the most beautiful car in the world. Stolen from a Milwaukee industrialist's garage in 2001, the car vanished into the international underground of elite collectors, forged paperwork, and high-stakes deception. Joe Ford explains how he became the go-to investigator when rare cars worth millions disappear—and why stolen vehicles are far harder to recover than stolen art. What follows is a years-long global hunt involving disgruntled mechanics, fabricated titles, shell corporations, Swiss intermediaries, and a billionaire buyer now locked in civil litigation. Bonner adds rich historical context, tracing the car's glamorous past—from European aristocracy to Hollywood royalty—and exposing how loneliness, obsession, and greed often surround these legendary machines. The conversation expands into other notorious cases, including the disappearance of the original James Bond Aston Martin from Goldfinger, and how wealthy collectors sometimes knowingly harbor stolen artifacts. This episode is a true-crime story without guns or gangs—but filled with deception, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice across borders. If you love investigative work, high-end crime, and stories that feel like James Bond meets Gone in 60 Seconds, this one's for you.

In this timely episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shamiah Reed sits down with Sue Liebel, Director of State Affairs for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, to unpack the escalating controversies surrounding mail-order abortion pills like mifepristone. They discuss the high complication rates (including 1 in 25 women requiring emergency room care per FDA labels), the rise of coercion cases—highlighted by Rosalie Markezich's (referred to as Rosalie Marquette in discussion) traumatic experience where her boyfriend allegedly forced her to take pills mailed from a California doctor—and Louisiana's lawsuits against out-of-state providers shielded by California's laws. Liebel addresses shield laws protecting providers, the Biden-era policy changes allowing mailing, calls for the Trump administration and FDA to reinstate in-person requirements and review updated science, congressional efforts, public support for medical oversight (7 in 10 voters), the shift to 65% of abortions being chemical, and broader concerns over women's health, coercion by abusers, and interstate conflicts exemplified by Gov. Gavin Newsom's heated response.

In this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards kicks off a high-energy Monday with unfiltered takes on current events and cultural issues. He dives into his weekend discoveries, including a deep dive into the Angel Studios app and a strong recommendation for the eye-opening documentary "Thank You, Dr. Fauci," which exposes controversies around COVID origins, vaccines, and cover-ups featuring insights from scientists, journalists, and former CDC leaders. Clay also shares thoughts on the post-apocalyptic film "Homestead" and its series spin-off, praising their relevance to real-world prepping scenarios.   A caller weighs in on methane facts and corruption in Mississippi courts, sparking a discussion on statewide issues. Clay tackles timely stories like Amazon ending its partnership with surveillance company Ring amid privacy concerns, the final closure of Chrishell's restaurant, a bizarre video from Savannah Guthrie about her mother, a viral brawl at La Cazuela in Jackson leading to city scrutiny, and an update on a tragic incident involving a former JA student. He highlights positive education news with Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana leading post-COVID gains in reading and math scores.   The episode explores intriguing connections, like SpongeBob SquarePants' address linking to Epstein Island and the Nickelodeon logo's eerie resemblance to it. Clay delves into generational politics, questioning why Gen X has been sidelined in leadership roles and urging more involvement to counter boomer dominance. Strap in for raw commentary on cancel culture, conservative values, and America's future—unfiltered and no holds barred.

The principal focus of today's discussion pertains to the imminent Pacific Storm Train and its associated risks, particularly concerning flash flooding and fire weather conditions. We commence with a forecast highlighting a slight risk for excessive rainfall and flash flooding across Central and Southern California, with the most significant impacts anticipated during the late morning to early evening hours. Furthermore, the storm system is poised to generate heavy mountain snow, thereby complicating travel in the Sierra Nevada and adjacent western ranges through midweek. As we traverse the landscape of weather alerts, we underscore the critical fire weather concerns emerging in the Central High Plains, where heightened vigilance is essential due to increasing winds and low humidity. In summary, the episode delineates the multifaceted weather challenges that warrant close attention and preparedness across various regions.Takeaways:* The Pacific Storm Train presents significant risks, notably in California, where flash flooding is a concern.* Heavy mountain snow and challenging travel conditions are expected in the Sierra Nevada region through midweek.* Fire weather poses a critical risk in the Central High Plains, necessitating operational support on Tuesday.* Tornado watches and damaging winds have been reported in the Southeast, particularly affecting Louisiana and Mississippi.* The Weather Prediction Center forecasts excessive rainfall and rapid runoff impacts in urban areas of Southern California.* Ongoing storm systems are likely to produce hazardous conditions across various states, warranting vigilance and preparedness.Sources[WPC ERO Day 1 | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/ero.php?day=1&opt=curr][Cal OES | https://www.news.caloes.ca.gov/emergency-resources-prepositioned-ahead-of-state-wide-storm/][NOAA NCO CWD | https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/status/cwd/][AP (SE storms) | https://apnews.com/article/ed98b3ad57a2a59b0c61f4fc98e2b4d1][SPC Day 2 Convective Outlook | https://origin-west-www-spc.woc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html][AP (SE storms) | https://apnews.com/article/ed98b3ad57a2a59b0c61f4fc98e2b4d1][SPC Day 2 Convective Outlook | https://origin-west-www-spc.woc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html][NOAA NCO CWD | https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/status/cwd/][AP (SE storms) | https://apnews.com/article/ed98b3ad57a2a59b0c61f4fc98e2b4d1][WPC Short Range Discussion | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/hpcdiscussions.php?disc=pmdspd][NOAA NCO CWD | https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/status/cwd/][NOAA NCO CWD | https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/status/cwd/][NWS Norman (hazards) | https://www.weather.gov/oun][WPC Short Range Discussion | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/hpcdiscussions.php?disc=pmdspd][NOAA NCO CWD | https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/status/cwd/][NWS Fire Weather (portal) | https://www.weather.gov/fire/][WPC Short Range Discussion | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/hpcdiscussions.php?disc=pmdspd] This is a public episode.

FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS:

On today's episode, we discuss AOC's viral “this dude is not smart” jab at Elon Musk, playing her halting Taiwan‑defense answer from Munich alongside footage of a SpaceX booster landing itself and asking what it says about today's political class when one of Musk's harshest critics cannot give a coherent response on war and peace. The panel then turns to Louisiana politics: Ben unloads on Senator Bill Cassidy as a “rhino” who reliably votes with Democrats, warns that outdated Sequoia voting machines are being replaced by Dominion systems after one more election, and argues that unless the state returns to hand‑marked paper ballots, the establishment can engineer Cassidy's third term regardless of voter sentiment. In a lighter but revealing tech segment, James offers a Tesla FSD update—explaining the new “strike” policy for inattentive drivers, how profiles now live in the cloud, and why the car sometimes lets him exceed its recommended speed only after flashing on‑screen liability warnings—while Dwayne reads Grok's official description of the temporary autopilot suspensions and jokes about a future registry for “habitual bad drivers.” The conversation broadens into concerns about hacking autonomous 18‑wheelers, the promise of safer robot truck fleets, and an exploration of “Alpha Schools,” an AI‑driven homeschool model whose students reportedly test in the top 1 percent, prompting questions about whether the tool is transformative or simply amplifying already motivated families. Finally, the crew revisits Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein files and DOJ priorities, contrasts her emotional testimony with Oliver North's unflappable Iran‑Contra performance, and debates whether limited federal resources should chase every past atrocity (from island trafficking to Russiagate) or be concentrated on a few, clearly winnable cases even if that leaves some victims without full legal closure. Don't miss it!

X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with the Honorable Thomas Garrett, Jr., member of the Commonwealth of Virginia's House of Delegates and former US Congressman. The conversation will focus on the state of America's economy, Trump's economic reforms, US-Iran Talks, America's ties with Israel, Virginia's radical changes with major tax hikes and sweeping gun control legislation and a new redistricting initiative which may leave Virginia's Congressional delegation with a 10-1 in favor of Democrats rather than the current 6-5 Republican edge. This could pose challenges in the mid-term elections.a leading attorney, currently serving as a legislator in the Commonwealth of Virginia, former Assistant Attorney General and former U.S. Congressman. The Washington Post's Editorial Board: "Brass-knuckled hypocrisy in Virginia" Quote: _The self-styled democracy party isn't behaving democratically. Democrats in Richmond are trying to effectively disenfranchise millions of Virginians by redrawing congressional maps to give themselves 10 of the commonwealth's 11 House seats — giving Democrats control of 91 percent of House seats in a state where Republicans lost the last presidential election by just six points. Most know better, including the governor. Abigail Spanberger was among the two-thirds of Virginians who voted in 2020 to transfer once-a-decade redistricting from the legislature to a bipartisan commission. “Gerrymandering is detrimental to our democracy,” she said back then. On Friday, Spanberger signed a bill to schedule an April 21 referendum that would move it back. The governor said it was necessary “to let voters respond to extreme measures taken by other states.”_ Bio | Tom Garrett Virginia Delegate Tom Garrett earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond. After the University of Richmond, Tom Garrett became an artillery officer in the United States Army. Achieving the rank of Captain, Tom led soldiers overseas—most notably while deployed in Bosnia. Upon returning to the States, Tom earned his J.D. from the University of Richmond and quickly became an Assistant Attorney General for Virginia. In 2016, Tom was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Tom won that election with the most votes ever in the 5th Congressional District. While in Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Education and Workforce Committee and was a member of the Freedom Caucus. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. In the years since, Tom Garrett has dedicated his life to fighting for the oppressed and forgotten not only here in America, but around the world. Tom has been working on a global docu-series project, Exile, which tells the untold stories of those who are persecuted based on their faith or ethnicity. In addition to continuing his work as a defense attorney, Tom has served as a consultant and most recently, cofounder for firms working in global energy development. americasrt.com https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

South Africa's Sasol is the world's only commercial-scale synthetic oil producer. Founded in 1950, they convert millions of tons of oil from coal each year. In 2011, high oil prices turned them into South Africa's second most valuable company - with stock returns of 1000% since 2000. Then they took a massive swing on a multi-billion megaproject in Louisiana. It could have transformed them into an international chemicals giant. Instead, it smashed them to bits. In today's video, South Africa's synthetic oil giant, and the $13 billion US megaproject that ruined it.

From Cajun Country to the French Riviera: Louisiana Meets France takes you on a lively, honest, and sometimes surprising journey through France with Annie Sargent and her guests, Renee Poche and Dixie Poche, a mother-daughter duo from Cajun Country in Louisiana. Listen to this episode ad-free This episode explores what happens when Cajun French culture meets modern France. Renee and Dixie share stories from their first trip together to Nice, Paris, Reims, and small towns along the way. They talk about expectations versus reality. They compare food, daily rhythms, and cultural habits. They reflect on what feels familiar and what feels very different. You'll hear about staying in a former convent in Nice. Walking the Old Town. Riding elevators up cliffs. Watching the noon cannon fire. There's champagne tasting in the Champagne region, with honest opinions about Reims versus Épernay. There's Versailles, with practical advice on timing and energy levels. There's Paris, explored slowly, on foot, with cafés, cemeteries, shopping, and a night at the Moulin Rouge. Food plays a big role in this conversation. Annie, Renee, and Dixie compare Cajun boudin and French andouille. They talk about sauces, spices, portions, and meal times. They also discuss how French fashion, walking culture, and city layouts influence how visitors experience France. This episode is about more than an itinerary. It's about traveling together. It's about mother-daughter dynamics on the road. It's about noticing small details. It's about how shared French roots can feel both close and distant at the same time. If you're curious about Cajun French culture Louisiana vs France, planning a first trip, or thinking about traveling with family, this episode will resonate.

Settler Colonialism is the Disaster: A Critique of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina and During the COVID-19 Pandemic (U Illinois Press, 2026) is the new book from Dr. Cassandra Shepard, Assistant Professor in the Department of African American and Diaspora Studies at Xavier University of Louisiana. Published with University of Illinois Press, this encompassing and engrossing book focuses on the crises that have engulfed New Orleans, including the disasters of colonialism, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and COVID-19, taking the reader through their causes and impacts on not only a broad level but through the everyday and often traumatic experiences of the residents of New Orleans. The analysis moves from the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, to state-level post-disaster reconstruction contracts, to international forms of colonialism, and even encompasses Beyonce. This book, which is also includes poetry and a recommended playlist, is also very relevant to the current global moment. Shepard analyses the overlapping and intersecting disasters that have affected New Orleans through ideas of disaster capitalism and settler colonialism, demonstrating how Black and Indigenous peoples have been deprived of critical resources. The reconstruction processes following, and during, these crises have often sought to exploit the authentic New Orleans culture and vibrancy to further the consolidation of power, profit, and privilege of white elites, to the detriment of Black and Indigenous peoples. Shepard's book, Settler Colonialism is the Disaster, takes a multi-scalar view of settler colonialism and investigates how it has not only operated historically in New Orleans, but clearly demonstrates that it is a continual process that still determines reconstruction, relief, and other projects today. Shepard connects the ongoing violence and dispossession inherent in settler colonialism within New Orleans, expressed through structural responses to Hurricane Katrina and COVID-19, to other settler colonial projects around the world, such as in Canada, Israel, New Zealand, and Australia. Cassandra Shepard's new book is an exceptional, theoretically and empirically rich book that offers a new critique into ‘best practice' reconstruction, which demands attention. Settler Colonialism is the Disaster offers an urgent, critical view of the political economy of reconstruction, aid, and government responses; a view which is crucial to take seriously in our world today, plagued as it is by crisis, war, and settler colonialism. Elliot Dolan-Evans is a sessional lecturer in law at Monash University and RMIT. His research investigates the political economy of global capitalism, forms of international governance, and questions of war and peace. His first book, Making War Safe for Capitalism: The World Bank, IMF and the Conflict in Ukraine, is now out with Bristol University Press. Learn more about your ad choices.
