Live from the 2026 Southern Economic Development Council Annual Conference in Bonita Springs, Florida, host Ray Methvin speaks with two economic development leaders, addressing regional growth, site preparation, and the shifting competitive landscape.First, Ray is joined by Pam Armstrong, Director of Economic Development for the Bedford County, Virginia Office of Economic Development. Located between Roanoke and Lynchburg, Bedford County leverages a regional labor shed of over 500,000 workers. Pam discusses the community's leadership as America's conveyor manufacturing hub, major wins including a 100% American-made solar manufacturer, the development of shovel-ready Tier 4 and Tier 5 industrial sites, and targeted workforce programs designed to credential students for high-demand technical careers.Next, Ray sits down with Ted Abernathy, Managing Partner at Economic Leadership LLC. Drawing on four decades in economic policy, Ted previews his conference keynote focusing on why the historic advantages that fueled Southern growth over the past 50 years- lower costs and rapid processes- are no longer enough on their own. Ted breaks down how emerging technology, research commercialization, national defense assets, and policy changes across competitor states require economic developers to lead with proactive foresight, not complacency.The SEDC Podcast is sponsored by Insyteful.

All links mentioned in the post can be found here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/184 Click here to learn more and join us at Elevete: The Retreat,  October 17, 2026, in Lynchburg, VA. What do you want next? Maybe you have a big dream you've been thinking about for years. Maybe there's one area of your life you know you want to change. Or maybe you're in a season where you honestly have no idea what you want next. In this episode, I'm joined by two of my best friends, Laurie Shopland and Kristin Dabney, for a conversation about dreams, goals, trusting yourself, and what it actually takes to create something you want in your life. And we have a BIG announcement! We're hosting ELEVATE, a one-day retreat for women on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Kristin's beautiful lake home in Lynchburg, Virginia. There are only 20 spots, and registration is now open. Get all the details and register here: https://simplysquaredaway.com/elevate The three of us met during our coach certification and have been meeting together regularly since 2018. We've walked through business growth, personal challenges, big decisions, changing seasons, and a lot of dreams together. One of those early dreams was building a $100K business. At the time, it felt almost impossible. Today, all three of us have crossed that line, and we talk about what surprised us about reaching that goal, including why achieving the goal doesn't necessarily create the feeling you thought it would. We also talk about another dream we've had for years: hosting a retreat together. This year, we finally stopped talking about it and put a date on the calendar. But as our conversation unfolds, we realize that “dream” might not even be the right word for what we're talking about. Elevating your life doesn't have to mean climbing Mount Everest, building a six-figure business, giving a TEDx talk, or making some enormous life change. It might mean having a conversation you've been avoiding. It might mean changing careers, asking for a raise, focusing on your health, improving a relationship, starting a business, organizing your kitchen, or finally giving yourself space to figure out what you want. And sometimes the first step is simply trusting that the thing that keeps coming up in your heart is worth paying attention to. In this episode, we talk about: What we remember about dreaming of becoming $100K business owners Why reaching a goal doesn't automatically make you feel the way you expected What we've learned about pursuing goals without all the hustle Why some dreams stay with you even when the timing isn't right What finally moved our retreat from “someday” to an actual date on the calendar Why your dream doesn't have to be big to matter How to trust yourself when something keeps nudging you What to do when you don't know what you want The value of getting out of your normal environment and giving yourself space to think Why community and coaching can help you see possibilities you can't always see on your own Everything we're planning for ELEVATE! COME TO ELEVATE ELEVATE is a one-day experience designed to give you the space to step back, look at your life, and decide what you want to elevate next. You'll complete a life reflection, choose the ONE area that would make the biggest difference in your life right now, receive coaching and support, and leave with a framework and plan you can use again and again. You'll also have time to reflect, walk by the lake, journal, connect with other women, enjoy beautiful food and surroundings, and let someone else take care of YOU for the day. ELEVATE Saturday, October 17, 2026 9:30 AM–4:00 PM ET Lynchburg, Virginia $297 Only 20 women (now only 18; 2 spots sold immediately, and the others will go fast!) Registration closes October 5 or when all 20 spots are filled. Register at simplysquaredaway.com/elevate You don't need a big dream to come. You might come because you already know exactly what you want to elevate. You might come because something in your life feels unsettled and you need space to think. You might come because you're ready for connection, coaching, inspiration, or simply a beautiful day away. And you might come because you have absolutely no idea what you want next. You don't have to have a dream to come to ELEVATE. You might come to discover one.

In this episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, we crack the Beale Ciphers—a mystery that has obsessed treasure hunters and elite codebreakers for over 140 years. In 1822, a charismatic adventurer named Thomas Jefferson Beale left a locked iron box with Lynchburg innkeeper Robert Morriss before vanishing into the frontier. Decades later, the box yielded three sheets of dense, numerical codes. One cipher was cracked, revealing a $60 million hoard of gold, silver, and jewels buried in Bedford County, Virginia. But as we explore in this deep-dive, Cipher No. 2's success was merely the irresistible hook to a trap. We dissect the historical narrative, masonic allegories, mathematical proofs, and forensic linguistics that expose the legend as a brilliant, lucrative 19th-century hoax.GET THE BOOK FROM AMAZON HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FROM AN INDIE BOOK STORE HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BECOME AN Elton Reads A Book A Week CONTRIBUTOR HERE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Elton Reads A Book A Week Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SOCIAL MEDIA!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This is the LINK TREE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the Discord server!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EMAIL: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eltonreadsabookaweek@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The following section is reserved for the people, places, things, and more that Elton probably offended in this episode--THE APOLOGIES SECTION: Elton would like to apologize to the following people, places and things: Honest people, cheese, cryptographers, Jean Pival, Virginia, every person, place and thing that I mispronounced.

The inventory ($60M gold/silver/jewels) promises wealth, but the mystery deepens when Beale never returns to claim his prize.Act I: Anatomy of a Frontier Adventure: Contextualizing the 1817–1822 landscape (Erie Canal/Cholera). The legend of thirty gentlemen mining in Colorado, and their secret, two-part burial of four tons of bullion in Bedford County, Virginia.Act II: The 1885 Pamphlet: Examining the 23-page booklet sold by James B. Ward for 50 cents during a post-war economic depression. We identify strong Masonic allegories (subterranean vaults, sacred numbers) that mirror lodge rituals, suggesting the story functions as an allegory rather than historical fact.Act III: Cryptographic Anatomy: How Cipher No. 2 was decoded using a strangely modified transcript of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. We highlight the "smoking gun" transcription errors and forced deletions (like dropping entire phrases) that indicate the cipher was reverse-engineered rather than naturally encrypted.Act IV: The Heavyweights: Why military codebreakers like William F. Friedman failed. Evidence includes the 1-in-a-trillion probability of alphabetical sequences found by Jim Gillogly's supercomputer analysis of Cipher No. 1, and the failure of Ciphers 1 and 3 to meet Benford's Law—proving they lack the natural distribution of real data and were likely fabricated by a human.Act V: Linguistics & Anachronisms: Dr. Jean Pival's 1982 stylometric analysis confirms Beale and Ward share identical linguistic signatures (e.g., misuse of "myself"). Historical anachronisms—words like "stampeding" (unknown in 1822) and conflicting land records for the Washington Hotel—prove the narrative is a fabrication.Act VI: A Century of Madness: The destructive legacy of searching for the gold, including Clayton Hart's 1898 dynamite excavations and Mel Fisher's 1989 ground-penetrating radar searches in Montvale.Outro: The psychological genius of the hoax. By providing one working cipher (Cipher No. 2) as an undeniable proof-of-concept, the author created the perfect trap to sell pamphlets to a public hungry for wealth and mystery.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “George & Giles Leading Major Renovation at Lexington” written by Beck Stanley, Executive Director of the Virginia Turfgrass Council. It’s been more than two decades since Lexington, Virginia woke up to the good fortune of golf holes being crafted into its rolling mountain landscape. That drought is ending with the highly anticipated Lester George/Vinny Giles renovation of Lexington Golf & Country Club, one of Virginia's oldest clubs and certainly among its most beautiful layouts. George is following the iconic Ellis Maples, and the VTC was fortunate enough to visit the site in April to see the progress. George inherits good bones at LGCC, better views than any of his previous Virginia projects, and an intact grounds staff that includes Peter Danaher and Kramer Johnson. The Club will unveil in 2027 a new clubhouse, practice facility, the renovated Maples course, and even a new name – Tribrook Club, an homage to its original farmland roots. Tribrook will land in the realm of George's other notable Virginia projects like Kinloch and Ballyhack, probably right between the two. I italicize these courses because they aren't places. They are works of art, and although the former was better received, there is no question Ballyhack has had a major impact on golf tourism in the Roanoke region at the hands of traveling Dormie Club members hellbent on swiping plastic. This Lexington renovation, on the other hand, is a thoughtful collaboration of resources between the Club and Washington & Lee University, mirroring how this is the first historic George/Giles course renovation collaboration. W & L's men's and women's golf teams succeed in the top tier of Division III. Last year, the men's team had the national player and coach of the year and finished fourth. This year, the men finished sixth, and two players tied for third place. The women finished fourth at the NCAA Division III championship, the best performance in the school's history. I sat down with George, Giles, and Superintendent Peter Danaher to discuss the progress, and how golf in Virginia continues to evolve to meet the needs of a growing, diverse game. At the VTC, we are certainly proud to be a part of that evolution as we continue to represent Virginia golf courses and golf professionals, both public and private, and to fight for the interests of the broader turf industry in the General Assembly. What drew us to Lexington's renovation was its Maples history, George's and Giles' participation, and the chance to witness the shaping and renovation process firsthand in a mountainous terrain. The first thing to notice is the tree removal – more than 2/3rds were removed to make way for higher, longer tee boxes and open up broad mountain vistas, but it also restores the original agricultural look of the property, and as so many legislators and industry outsiders forget, turf is agriculture. Golf courses protect land and natural environments, prevent erosion, and steward water resources in a way no housing or commercial development ever could. George and Giles seem to enjoy the nuts and bolts of renovating golf courses, like a Twain character tricking everyone around into thinking that whitewashing a fence is fun. But in reality and beneath that appearance — and far separated from the benevolent forces making such projects happen — are two committed, serious minds collaborating, yearning for legacy, blending engineering and playability with how young players might see this game fifty, a hundred years from now. Of course, that all comes with making the course fun and playable for all skill levels. The many retiree members of Tribrook will appreciate the attention George and Giles have given to making the course adaptable. “The course will be enjoyable from 7,100 yards all the way down to less than 4,000,” George commented. At almost every turn of our tour, both murmured aloud thoughts on making shots longer, landing areas tighter, pushing both the game and the course to be more. Their shapers and project managers from Aspen Corporation were on hand, furiously cutting bunkers with pickaxes and perfecting mounds and visuals. Their professionalism and obsession with detail did not go unnoticed, down to the inch on distance readings and slopes. Adam Bagwell of Aspen was especially tuned in, completely aware of every little nuance of the project and rapid to answer questions as they arose. Giles, the Lynchburg native who played on four Walker Cup teams, captained a winning squad in 1993, won the U.S. Amateur, British Amateur, U.S. Senior Amateur, and countless other tournaments too many to list, has done as much for the game of golf in Virginia as any one man could in a lifetime. Aside from being the low amateur at the Masters in 1968 and the 1973 U.S. Open, he still had all this time on his hands to accrue a valuable vault of stories, my favorites being those about Alvis Hylton, his instructor and head pro at Boonsboro Country Club who he claims, “could always fix my swing.” Hylton went from a worker on the N&W Railroad to golf professional following an accident that injured permanently his left arm, an unlikely sequence of events that led him to Vinny. Figures like Hylton may now be forgotten to most, but we would all be wise to remember him. As we traveled over the raw earth, George immediately took us to the new 6th green. It's a short par 3 with a 30-yard deep tee box, offering wide latitude for staff to set the hole up for competition. George began instructing his Aspen crew to fix minor details on the visual, the barely visible bunker line to the left of the green reminiscent of Seth Raynor's style. “The new sixth hole was created to make room for the new practice facility. It gave us this great opportunity to build a Raynor/McDonald template hole known as a Biarritz. The par 3 is surrounded on both sides by trench bunkers, with an amazing horizon view and swale in the center. The green is seventy paces deep,” George told us. “We have to serve everyone with this design. That means a new look, a new excitement for past, present, and future members. Our changes have done that.” The sun began to set on our visit, and we wrapped up our tour of the grounds before I took the long walk back to where I had parked, by the old clubhouse at the back of a small neighborhood just outside of town. There was a kid in his front yard chipping balls into a small net, and a few had trickled down the road into the asphalt. I walked them back up the hill and asked him what he loved about golf. “It's the best game there is,” he said. “And when I get older, I'm going to play at Washington and Lee.” More info on the Architect: Lester George incorporates his creativity and passion for the game of golf in every golf course design.

The French phrase "Un coup de main aux Haïtiens" translates as "A helping hand for Haitians" in English, and "Yon koutmen pou Ayisyen" is the equivalent in Haitian Creole. This concept emphasizes the importance of providing support and solidarity to the people of Haiti, who have faced significant challenges due to natural disasters, political instability, and economic hardship. Offering a helping hand can take many forms, including financial aid, humanitarian assistance, and development projects that empower communities and promote sustainable growth.

It's Wednesday, July 15th, 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 and Adam McManus Pakistani Christians targeted in absurd blasphemy cases Most blasphemy cases in Pakistan in recent years were fabricated. Officials admitted this to a parliamentary committee last week. Christians were among the people targeted in the hundreds of fabricated cases.  The country's blasphemy law criminalizes insulting Islam. People often use the law to target religious minorities like Christians. Just last week, a Pakistani court acquitted a Christian man in this kind of case. Thirty-seven-year-old Dennis Albert had spent two years in prison over false accusations.  In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” British island legalizing assisted suicide The British Channel Island of Jersey is legalizing assisted suicide.  The self-governing island is under the British Crown. Jersey received Royal Assent for its so-called “Assisted Dying Law” last week. Once the law takes effect, the territory will be the first place in the British Isles to legalize such killing. Other jurisdictions in the British Isles are also trying to legalize assisted suicide. These include the Isle of Man as well as England and Wales.  Arkansas: Best state for religious liberty; New York is the worst First Liberty released its 2026 Religious Liberty in the States report. The index ranks states in America based on how well they protect religious freedom.  Only Arkansas and Tennessee received excellent scores on the index. New York and Vermont scored the worst. The majority of states scored below 50 percent on the index.  Arkansas' Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke at a press conference after her state won the highest score on the index. Listen. SANDERS: “Jesus commands us to live out our faith boldly. The Constitution protects our rights to do so. In this administration, we don't just believe that Jesus is our living hope. We will always stand up for the rights of Arkansans who believe the same. “I want to thank First Liberty for recognizing Arkansas's work and for honoring us with this ranking. It's something we are very proud of and we will continue to make sure we stay number one.” Michigan pro-life groups will not be compelled to hire pro-aborts A federal judge ruled in favor of pro-life groups in Michigan last week.  A state law would require pro-life organizations to hire pro-abortion employees. Right to Life of Michigan and Pregnancy Resource Center challenged this law in court. The recent ruling blocks Michigan from enforcing the law.  Amber Roseboom, president of Right to Life of Michigan, said, “The court's decision is a welcome reprieve and reaffirms our fundamental right to hire employees who agree with our life-affirming mission.” New law will make housing more affordable The 21st Century Road to Housing Act became law in the United States. last Saturday.  The bipartisan bill is an attempt to make housing more affordable for Americans. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the law on X. She said, “This bipartisan bill includes policies long championed by the President. It cuts unnecessary red tape, helps increase housing supply, and limits the ability of large institutional investors to purchase single-family homes.” Median home price: $440,600 In related news, home prices continued to rise last month. A report from the National Association of Realtors found that the median sales price of an existing home reached $440,600 in June. That's the highest on record.  Lawrence Yun with the National Association of Realtors noted, “Affordability is better than a year ago because wage growth is outpacing home price growth. However, progress on long-term housing affordability could be hampered if inventory growth continues to stall.” People who experienced heartache more likely to turn to Bible Last week, the American Bible Society released the fourth chapter of its “State of the Bible: USA 2026” report.  The survey found that people who experienced a negative life event in the past year were significantly more likely to be Bible users than those who had not experienced that challenge. Such challenges included divorce, natural disaster, life-threatening illness or injury, death of a close friend or family member, and unemployment. The report noted, “Amidst hardships, those who regularly engage with Scripture maintain significantly higher flourishing scores.” In John 16:33, Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Kansas, Washington, and Indiana Susan Tarwater in Hoyt, Kansas, wrote me and said, “I do not watch television. So, I depend on The Worldview as a shortened version of important news I need to hear. Especially news that a Christian needs to be aware of without all the glitter.” Tom Lister in Spokane, Washington wrote me to say, “Adam, I listen to your broadcast every weekday morning. I especially like how you keep us informed about the church, the persecution of many, and how, in many places, the church is slipping into apostasy. I also appreciate how you always end on a very positive outlook. Keep up the good fight! I'm a monthly supporter already but might be able to increase the amount.” And Melinda Johnson in Indianapolis, Indiana, wrote, “I've been listening to and reading The Worldview for several years now. My favorite part of the news is hearing about different stories that are not reported by mainstream media -- things like persecuted Christians, updates on abortion, how the Gospel is impacting the world, and issues affecting the conservative Christian movement. “The Worldview is quite different than any other news, even Christian sources, that cover the regular news. Your newscast brings up topics that help me know what to pray for in the world. You and the team are continuing in a great work!” 3 Worldview listeners gave $205 And finally, on Tuesday by 6:00pm Central, only 3 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Teresa in Haverford, Pennsylvania who gave $5 as well as Lawrence in Lynchburg, Virginia and Gary in Westminster, Colorado – both of whom gave $100 Those 3 gifts add up to $205. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.

It's Tuesday, July 14th, 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 Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed and Adam McManus Fulani Muslim militia most deadly force against Christians The Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa has issued a study on terror-related violence on the Dark Continent. The group revealed that the Fulani Muslim militia is by far the most deadly force in the persecution of Christians worldwide. They kill Christians at a rate 4.4 times that of other Muslims. Thus far, they have killed 79,323 people in six years — amounting to 36 people a day. They kill at 3 times the rate of Boko Haram. That's twenty times the number of people that have been killed in the US-Iran war this year.  Senegal, Africa: Marriage is between one man and one woman The National Assembly of the West African country of Senegal has defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. Homosexuality is still legal in 21 out of 54 African countries. So far, homosexual faux marriage has been incorporated in one nation -- South Africa. U.S.-Iran war is back on America's war with Iran is back on, and the Middle East is in flames.   The U.S. military bombed dozens of military targets yesterday. The Saudis also bombed the Yemen airport. The Houthi-controlled Yemeni government is an ally with Iran in the present war. The Center for Strategic and International Studies reports a depletion of one-third to one-half of American Patriot, Tomahawk, and Terminal High Altitude Areas Defense missiles. At current rates, the replenishment will take four years. This does not include the use of missiles during the period of May through July.  Trump Meme coin tanked; Bitcoin down by 50% The Trump Meme coin has tanked — costing investors $3.8 billion. The president received $636 million from the venture, according to a recent financial disclosure.  However, Bitcoin has also lost half its value since the Trump election in November 2024. Total losses are running about $2.2 trillion for investors. Gold capitalization has increased about 3% since November 2025. 122,000 American layoffs The website Layoffs.fyi records 122,000 layoffs this year. That's the highest rate in four years.  Amazon is leading the pack for corporate layoffs with a total of 30,000 layoffs over the last nine months. America produces more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia America is now, by far, the largest oil producer in the world — now producing 42% more than Saudi Arabia, and 37% more than Russia. Back in 2008, the United States produced about half of what Saudi Arabia and Russia produced. That has changed dramatically in the last 17 years.  GOP Senator Mitch McConnell rejects rumors he's braindead Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky broke the silence and intrigue surrounding his lengthy hospital stay. Rumors had swirled that the senator was braindead or under cardiac arrest after he was transferred to the hospital. The senator has clarified that he had suffered a fall, but he did not break bones or suffer a concussion. Senator Lindsey Graham met his maker Longtime Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina went to meet his Maker on Saturday night. According to the D.C. office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Graham died of a ruptured aorta brought on by chronic heart disease. Graham, age 71, was never married and never had children. SC Gov appointed Lindsey Graham's sister to serve remainder of term South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster announced Monday that he has appointed the late Senator's sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to serve the remainder of his term. When Lindsey Graham was 20, his mother died of Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 50, and his father died 15 months later of a heart attack at age 68. Because his sister, then 13 years old, was left orphaned, the service allowed Graham to attend the University of South Carolina in Columbia so he could remain near home as his sister's legal guardian. Here's a portion of Governor McMaster's press conference. McMASTER: “Today, under the law, it's my duty and honor to name someone to serve in the place this extraordinary man for the remainder of his term. “Lindsey took care of his little sister in years long departed. It's my honor to ask his little sister, Darlene Graham, to finish his work for him now. “And by the way, Darlene, I don't know if I told you, but after we spoke on the phone in the wee hours of Sunday morning, and you agreed to serve, through tears. Earlier, I had wondered what you would say, and I was humbled by your quickness to see the duty that you had to serve. “I called the president afterwards, and he thought it was a great idea, and I'm sure that everyone here does as well.” Obamacare premiums going higher Obamacare premiums are jacking up another 14% for next year.   That follows a 20% increase last year. The Peterson-KFF organization notes that the program lost three million members so far this year — now at a total of 19.2 million enrollments.  The average family of four pays $24,000 into Obamacare for this year, and $27,000 next year.  That compares to Samaritan Ministries Christian medical sharing that runs about $8,000 per year.  Hospitals treated COVID-shot rejectors as “plagued rats” Psalm 146:3 instructs us: “to not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.” Recent Centers for Disease Control numbers indicate that 80% of Americans got at least one COVID shot. U.S. death rates, based on 2019 numbers, rose 17% in 2020 during the COVID crisis. After the vaccine came out in early 2021, the death rate increased again by 23% over 2019 levels. Then, the death rate increased by 16% in 2022. Death rates did not reduce to 2019 levels until 2024. Last year's death rate actually registered 4% less than 2019. Former trauma surgeon Dr. James Miller told podcast host Alix Mayer that those who did not take the Covid shot, after its rollout, were treated differently in hospitals, and in an inhumane manner, like “plagued rats.” Listen. MILLER: “Absolutely, the vaccinated and unvaccinated were treated differently. They started just denying basic health services to unvaccinated people, which spurned not giving diabetes medicine [and] you can't go see your family doctor. "Now, you could still get emergency care in the ER, but 100% you were treated differently. You were treated as a dirty, plagued rat. And this was common in social media. But it was no different in the hospital. The medical community is no different.” Next, Dr. Miller spoke of The Overton Window referring to the moment when an argument becomes politically acceptable to the mainstream population. In this case, it is more acceptable now, in 2026, for Americans to express their distrust of the medical establishment about how it handled the COVID shot rollout and how it mistreated the unvaccinated 20% of the population. The term, The Overton Window, is named after the American policy analyst Joseph Overton. Listen. MILLER: “I think part of why this is such a good time to talk about this is I think The Overton Window has shifted on the discussion. I think all people have realized the medical care system did not meet their expectations during COVID. “I think most people thought, before COVID, when you go to the doctor, they're going to help you out a bit, and you're going to get better, and they're going to wish you well. I think most people thought when I'm really sick, I'm going to go to the hospital and they're gonna help me out a lot and do their best and get me well. “After COVID, most people realized their doctors were there for themselves. Their doctors were more than happy to give them a toxic substance that would hurt them, like the COVID injection. And I think most people came to see that the hospitals were really killing fields.” 28 Georgia inmates got baptized after Bible studies The Grady County, Georgia Sheriff's department issued an official announcement over the weekend: 28 inmates got baptized! They had been faithfully attending Bible studies throughout the week, and confessed their faith in Christ.   The announcement said, “Together, we gathered in prayer, lifted our voices in worship, and celebrated these life-changing decisions. Moments like these serve as a reminder that hope, grace, and redemption are possible for everyone.” Back in March, another 14 inmates were baptized at a Franklin County jailhouse in Florida, according to Channel 7 News. PASTOR: “I'm going to baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. And I'm baptizing you in the power of that cross I'm talking about today. All right, ready?” These inmates also attended Bible studies each week and heard sermons from local pastors. Inmate Ethan Vonier became a Christian behind bars. VONIER: “I found Christ in jail. I feel like the good Lord put me here. We're all doing better each day.” And inmate Robert Hill was grateful for a fresh start and a Biblical destiny. HILL: “It's a new beginning. Everybody in here probably wants a new beginning. You know, he gives it to you. You know what I mean? Gives you a fresh start.  Jeremiah 29:11 -- He has a plan for me. I know it. I want it. I'm going to get it.” Psalm 107:10-14 tells the story: “Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, bound in affliction and irons—because they rebelled against the words of God, and despised the counsel of the Most High. Therefore, He brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help. Then, they cried out to the Lord in their trouble and He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Virginia and Texas Joseph Holt, age 20, at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, wrote me to say, “Thanks for faithfully presenting the news every morning. I like your podcast because it's short and concise. I can get a briefing on the news while I'm brushing my teeth in the morning before work or school starts. You present the facts from a Biblical worldview and do not shrink from condemning evil. Thanks for keeping this up so long. Here's to another great year!” And Richard Powell in Lonetta, Texas wrote, “I appreciate how much time you guys save me by putting the newscast together so I don't have to filter through so much.  I also appreciate that it's concise and that you come from a Biblical perspective.  I typically read it as part of my morning routine.” 8 Worldview listeners gave $2,760 And finally, on Monday by 8:00pm Central, 8 Worldview listeners had stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Sarina in Barnwell, Alberta, Canada who gave $25, Janna in Midvale, Idaho who gave $75, and Susan in Timnath, Colorado who gave $100. We were touched by the generosity of Bianca in Manzini, Eswatini, Africa who pledged $15/month for 12 months for a total gift of $180. Since their money is worth one-sixteenth what ours is worth, it's like Bianca donated $2,965. Imagine that! And we're grateful to God for Dwayne and Anita in Moriarty, New Mexico who gave $200, Frances in Beacon, New York who pledged $40/month for 12 months for a gift of $480, Stuart in Zillah, Washington who gave $500, and Tim in Blooming Grove, Texas who pledged $100/month for a total gift of $1,200. Those 8 gifts add up to $2,760. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $23,803 (sound effect of people cheering) That means we need to raise $32,762 to hit our $56,565 goal by this Friday, July 17th.   We need to find 8 Worldview listeners, just like Tim did, who will pledge $100/month for 12 months, or give a one-time gift of $1,200, 19 folks who will pledge $50/month or give a one-time gift of $600 and 38 listeners who will pledge $25/month or give a one-time gift of $300.

Patrick K. O'Donnell, guest author, explains that in the summer of 1864, Confederate General Jubal Early, known as Lee's "mean old dog," launched a bold campaign that brought the war to the gates of the nation's capital. After repelling Union forces at Lynchburg, Early marched through the Shenandoah Valley and into Maryland, winning a time-consuming victory at Monocacy against Lew Wallace. This delay proved critical, as it allowed the Union's Sixth Corpsto rush to Washington's defense just as Early reached Fort Stevens. During the skirmish, President Abraham Lincolnfamously stood on the parapet under fire from Confederate sharpshooters before being told to step down for his safety. Simultaneously, the Confederate Secret Service planned a complex special operation to free 10,000 prisoners of war at Point Lookout, though the plot was eventually scuttled. While Early lacked direct coordination with Mosby, the Rangers supported the campaign by conducting the "Calico Raid" at Point of Rocks, severing the B&O Railroad and cutting off Union reinforcements. Mosby's tactics remained centered on swift, close-range attacks using pistols and shotguns to overwhelm the Union's Second Massachusetts Cavalry. Despite the brutality of these "running gunfights," Mosby was noted for treating high-ranking captives with respect, eventually forming post-war friendships with former enemies like the Union officer Forbes. This segment illustrates how close the Confederacy came to winning the war through a back-door strike on Washington. The Unvanquished (4)1863
