Episode Summary In this inspiring episode of WarDocs, we are honored to feature the extraordinary journey of Retired Army Brigadier General Clara Adams-Ender. Rising from humble beginnings as one of ten children born to sharecroppers with limited formal education, she defied expectations to become a trailblazer in military medicine. Her story is a testament to the power of education, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Although she initially dreamed of becoming a lawyer, she honored her father's wishes to attend nursing school, a decision that launched a remarkable 34-year career culminating in her service as the 18th Chief of the Army Nurse Corps. BG(R) Adams-Ender shares powerful anecdotes that defined her leadership philosophy, starting with her first assignment as a Second Lieutenant in an ICU. She recounts a tragic incident involving a Marine shot by a friend during horseplay, a moment that taught her the stark difference between "book learning" and the practical responsibilities of an officer to care for the discipline and safety of troops. She also details the grit required to become the first woman to earn the Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB). Refusing to settle for the lower physical standards set for women at the time, she marched the full 12 miles alongside her male counterparts, proving that competence knows no gender. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes the evolution of the Army Nurse Corps from a workforce viewed merely as labor to leaders in healthcare policy and administration. She discusses her time as an educator during the Vietnam War, mentoring students facing the draft and ethical dilemmas. General Adams-Ender passionately argues for the necessity of nurses having a "seat at the table" in healthcare leadership, noting that without a voice in policy, the profession cannot control its destiny. As the Army Nurse Corps approaches its 125th anniversary, she reflects on the core values of clinical excellence, administration, research, and education (CARE), offering timeless advice for the next generation of military medical professionals.

She shares how she initially aspired to be a lawyer but followed her father's directive to attend nursing school, eventually discovering a passion for the challenge the profession provided. (06:40-11:45) A Tragic Lesson in Leadership and Troop Welfare Reflecting on her first assignment at Fort Dix, the guest describes the transition from academic theory to the practical realities of military nursing. She recounts a harrowing story of a young Marine shot due to horseplay, which served as a pivotal lesson on an officer's responsibility to maintain discipline and care for the troops beyond clinical duties. (11:45-17:15) Breaking Barriers to Earn the Expert Field Medical Badge The conversation shifts to the guest's historic achievement as the first woman to earn the EFMB. She details her determination to meet the same physical standards as the male soldiers, including marching 12 miles instead of the required 8 for women, viewing the grueling training as an opportunity to prove her capabilities. (17:15-22:42) Educating Nurses During the Vietnam War Era The guest describes her time as an instructor at Walter Reed, where she taught students from diverse backgrounds. She highlights the challenges of mentoring nursing students during the Vietnam War, helping them navigate their fears and obligations regarding deployment to a combat zone. (22:42-37:55) The Power of Policy and Having a Seat at the Table Moving into administration, the guest explains how she learned that writing good policy allows a leader to influence far more outcomes than hands-on care alone. She stresses the importance of nurses securing leadership roles to ensure they are in charge of their profession's destiny and not merely following orders from others. (37:55-45:34) Core Values and the Legacy of the Army Nurse Corps As the 125th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps approaches, the guest reflects on the enduring values of the profession, using the acronym CARE. She concludes with a dedication to her mentors and offers advice to current nurses on maintaining standards and commitment to the mission. Take Home Messages Leadership Requires Practical Adaptability Success in military medicine often requires unlearning the rigid structures of "book learning" to adapt to the practical realities of the environment. True competence is demonstrated not just by clinical knowledge, but by the ability to handle unexpected situations and the human dynamics of the troops under one's command. The Responsibility of the Officer Extends Beyond Patient Care A medical officer's duty is not confined to the hospital bed or the clinic; it encompasses the overall welfare, discipline, and safety of the soldiers. Preventing tragedy through discipline and looking out for the troops is as vital as treating the wounds that result when safety protocols fail. Equality is Proven Through Standards Breaking barriers and earning respect often comes from a refusal to accept lower standards based on gender or background. By voluntarily meeting the more rigorous requirements set for counterparts, a leader demonstrates resilience and capability that silences doubters and inspires the team. Influence Through Policy and Administration While direct patient care is the heart of medicine, long-term impact is achieved by securing a "seat at the table" in administration and policy-making. Writing effective policy allows a medical professional to guide the hands of thousands of others, shaping the destiny of the profession and improving care on a systemic level. Total Commitment to the Profession Medical service is difficult, demanding work that requires a full "all-in" mentality. The key to longevity and success is to make a firm decision to commit to the profession; once that decision is made, energy should be directed toward the mission and patient care rather than complaints or negativity.

Michael D'Angelo, a Marine and now Rapid Fire Comedy Tour, in Episode 227 of the Transition Drill Podcast. This episode traces Michael D'Angelo's path from a chaotic childhood in Las Vegas to a deliberate decision to leave everything familiar behind and join the Marine Corps. It is not a redemption arc built on hindsight or polish. It is a clear account of how instability, exposure to violence, and constant proximity to bad outcomes shaped a young man who knew early that staying meant losing.Michael grew up in a home defined by addiction, financial collapse, and constant movement. His father went from successful construction business owner to struggling laborer. His mother drifted in and out, leaving long stretches of absence and unpredictability. By elementary school, Michael was changing schools almost every year. By middle school, the streets had become his community. Not because he wanted crime, but because he wanted connection, structure, and a sense of belonging that wasn't available at home.What stands out is his awareness of the line he refused to cross. He ran with kids who stole cars, carried guns, and sold drugs, yet he never did. He was frequently detained, handcuffed, and documented by police, but never arrested. He understood consequences even while chasing adrenaline. That tension—between chaos and restraint—runs through the entire conversation.The turning point came on the Fourth of July when a street fight escalated and Michael was slashed across the face with a straight razor. Thirty-two stitches later, the scar became permanent. The lesson was immediate. Staying meant prison, death, or something close enough not to matter. Within months, he left high school, earned his GED, and walked into a recruiter's office with one objective: get out.His entry into the Marine Corps was fast and imperfect. He took the first contract available, asked few questions, and left home at seventeen. Boot camp was not a shock. It was stability. Regular meals, sleep, expectations, and accountability. For the first time, life made sense.This episode matters to veterans and first responders because it shows how early environments shape risk tolerance, decision-making, and identity long before a uniform is involved. Michael's story isn't about being saved by service. It's about choosing structure when disorder becomes the default, and accepting responsibility before the cost becomes irreversible.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service. Helping you plan and implement strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
What if the real scoreboard for fatherhood isn't your bank account, your job title, or your kids' trophies—but how much your adult kids actually want to spend time with you? In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Tim Campbell, an 82-year-old father, author, and living example of what long-term connection and trust with your kids can look like—even after a lifetime of hardship. Tim shares his journey of being married for 50 years, raising three children—two with significant disabilities—and navigating medical crises, bullying, fear, and exhaustion that would have broken most families. We talk about growing up with a Marine father who lacked emotional tools, the moment Tim realized he had become the dad he swore he'd never be, and how he rebuilt trust one moment at a time. This episode is a masterclass in breaking generational patterns, showing up authentically, and understanding why trust is the real gold in fatherhood. Timeline Summary: [0:00] Rethinking the true scoreboard of fatherhood and legacy. [1:20] Introducing Tim Campbell and his 50-year marriage. [2:19] Raising three kids, two with significant disabilities, and surviving medical crises. [3:09] Why trust and connection are the biggest themes of Tim's fatherhood journey. [3:29] Growing up with a Marine father and limited emotional connection. [4:16] How crisis can either weld a marriage together or tear it apart. [4:41] Tim introduces his book Holding Up the Sky. [5:02] Writing a healing, imaginary conversation with his late father. [7:00] How trauma early in marriage revealed character and long-term strength. [8:25] Learning you don't have to win every argument to win the long game. [12:23] Vowing to break generational patterns from his own childhood. [14:09] Wanting to be a better dad—but not knowing how at first. [16:24] Realizing fear turned him into the father he never wanted to be. [17:11] A breaking-point moment that forced real change. [18:19] Why leveling with your kids builds trust during hard moments. [18:52] Learning from the next generation, not just the previous one. [21:17] Larry shares his own parenting experience with a child with disabilities. [22:44] A bullying moment involving Tim's son and how he responded. [23:45] "Trust is the real gold" and how it compounds over time. [24:41] Parenting adult children with disabilities and letting go. [26:23] Knowing you did fatherhood right when adult kids still want connection. [28:16] Revisiting the final chapter of Holding Up the Sky. [30:58] Imagining his father's response and finding peace. [33:06] Authenticity, masks, and being human with your kids. [36:01] Why sharing your own childhood stories builds instant connection. [37:13] Where to find Tim, his book, and additional resources. Five Key Takeaways Trust is the real currency of fatherhood. It opens the door to love, communication, and long-term connection. Crisis reveals character. Hard seasons can either fracture a family or weld it together depending on how we show up. Fear can turn us into the parent we swore we'd never be if we don't consciously course-correct. Getting down to your child's level—literally and emotionally—builds safety and trust. Adult children choosing to stay connected is the truest measure of success.

Heute widmen wir uns der Entwicklung und Bedeutung der deutschen Kriegsmarine in der Zeit zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen sowie während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Im Zentrum unserer Betrachtung stehen zwei prägende Persönlichkeiten der Marinegeschichte: Erich Raeder, der von 1928 bis 1943 als Oberbefehlshaber die Geschicke der Kriegsmarine leitete, und sein Nachfolger Karl Dönitz, der später für kurze Zeit auch das Amt des Staatsoberhauptes des Deutschen Reiches übernahm. Zunächst beschäftigen wir uns mit Raeders Bemühungen, die Marine nach den Beschränkungen des Versailler Vertrags wiederaufzubauen. Dabei spielen sowohl die organisatorischen und politischen Herausforderungen dieser Phase eine Rolle als auch die strategischen Leitlinien, die Raeder für die zukünftige Ausrichtung der Seestreitkräfte entwickelte. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem sogenannten Z-Plan, jenem ambitionierten Rüstungsprogramm, das den Aufbau einer schlagkräftigen Überwasserflotte vorsah und langfristig die globale Bedeutung Deutschlands zur See stärken sollte. Im Anschluss wenden wir uns Karl Dönitz zu, dessen Aufstieg in der Marine eng mit der Entwicklung der deutschen U-Boot-Waffe verknüpft ist. Wir beleuchten seine strategischen Vorstellungen, insbesondere die Theorie des „Rudeltaktik“-geführten U-Boot-Krieges, sowie die technischen Neuerungen und taktischen Anpassungen, die unter seiner Führung umgesetzt wurden. Diese Faktoren prägten maßgeblich den Verlauf des Seekrieges im Atlantik und beeinflussten sowohl die Erfolge als auch die Grenzen der deutschen U-Boot-Operationen während des Zweiten Weltkriegs.
On November 8, 2019, 24-year-old Morgan Patten made the long trip from her home down to Jacksonville, NC to visit her fiancé, Phil Brandon, a Marine training at Camp Geiger. After she arrived at her hotel that night, she decided to go out to the nearby Applebee's for a quick dinner before turning in for the night. When she was in the restaurant, she quickly became the target of two predatory Marines who were prowling the area for a victim. They drugged and put her into their truck to assault her, and then got into a horrible car accident which ended up being fatal for Morgan. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

Paul welcomes back CBS News national security coordinating producer (and Marine infantry veteran) James LaPorta, one of the most tenacious and respected reporters in the national security and veterans' space. From the CBS bureau in Washington, LaPorta brings exclusive reporting, deep sourcing and hard-won combat perspective as Paul rips through a wild 48 hours: Trump's lie-filled prime-time address and new “warrior dividend” checks, a dignified transfer at Dover, rising tensions in Venezuela, new Ukraine aid, Trump's sinking approval and fresh mass shootings in Sydney and at Brown University. LaPorta then walks listeners through what's really happening off the coast of Venezuela—carrier strike groups, Marine Expeditionary Units, submarines and air sorties lighting up flight trackers—and why the U.S. posture is “unprecedented” and eerily reminiscent of the run-up to Iraq. The conversation digs into the escalating war over truth: new Pentagon efforts to restrict press access and punish basic reporting, conspiracy theorists like Laura Loomer moving from Infowars-style harassment into official briefing rooms, and what that means for accountability and safety. In an exclusive segment, LaPorta reveals new details on 18 Navy SEALs disciplined after racist memes targeted a Black teammate, what command climate surveys show about repeated harassment, and how it collides with Trump Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's push to “de‑woke‑ify” the force and downplay symbols like nooses and swastikas. Paul and James connect it all to recruiting, morale and trust—especially for troops of color and Jewish service members—while talking about FOIA as a weapon for regular citizens and the need to “FOIA and Find Out.” They close with signature IA humanity: LaPorta on Parkland, his Ghostbusters‑obsessed son and a day with the original Ecto‑1, and Paul on watching The Mandalorian with his son as a reminder to keep finding “something good” in anxious times.

Paul and James connect it all to recruiting, morale and trust—especially for troops of color and Jewish service members—while talking about FOIA as a weapon for regular citizens and the need to “FOIA and Find Out.” They close with signature IA humanity: LaPorta on Parkland, his Ghostbusters‑obsessed son and a day with the original Ecto‑1, and Paul on watching The Mandalorian with his son as a reminder to keep finding “something good” in anxious times.

The United States has raised concerns with the EU for years on these matters without meaningful engagement or basic acknowledgement of U.S. concerns.

Some of the largest EU service providers that have hitherto enjoyed this expansive market access include, among others: — Accenture — Amadeus — Capgemini — DHL — Mistral — Publicis — SAP — Siemens — Spotify If the EU and EU Member States insist on continuing to restrict, limit, and deter the competitiveness of U.S. service providers through discriminatory means, the United States will have no choice but to begin using every tool at its disposal to counter these unreasonable measures.

[SOURCE – AUGUST 19, 2025] As originally reported in August 2025 {SOURCE}, a group of far-left human rights advocate sent a letter to 150 U.S. colleges and universities asking them to disable the CCTV systems to protect “free expression and academic freedom across the country,” because “the Trump administration has launched an aggressive campaign against US academic institutions.” The motive for the request to disable CCTV systems as stated: “Right now these tools are facilitating the identification and punishment of student protesters, undermining activists' right to anonymity––a right the Supreme Court has affirmed as vital to free expression and political participation.” {SOURCE} The letter from ‘Fight For The Future‘ (August, 2025) came after an earlier campaign by the same group seeking to stop the use of facial recognition cameras on college campuses. {SOURCE} Source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/2001107948312133776?s=20 network.

That seems like an assassination of Ella Cook, possibly with an innocent bystander taken down with her. https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2001062786084880887?s=20 today, December 16, 2025, amid widespread speculation and emerging reports identifying him as the prime suspect in the December 13 mass shooting on campus that killed two students and injured nine others. The university has not released an official statement explaining the deletion, but online discussions and news coverage point to it as an effort to scrub digital traces of Kharbouch during the ongoing FBI manhunt and investigation. His X (formerly Twitter) account has also been taken down, fueling theories of a cover-up by the university, media, or authorities to control the narrative around his pro-Palestine activism and alleged radical views. As of now, federal authorities have released images and a timeline of the suspect’s movements but have not publicly confirmed Kharbouch’s involvement, though some outlets report he has fled and remains at large with a $50,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest. This is a summary of his (now deleted) manifesto: In Mustapha Kharbouch’s 2024 manifesto, “I Hear The Voice of My Ancestors Calling: From The Camps to The Campus,” published by the Institute for Palestine Studies, the author reflects on his role in the Brown University Gaza Solidarity Encampment amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. As a third-generation stateless Palestinian refugee raised in Lebanon, Kharbouch draws from his family’s history of displacement during the 1948 Nakba to frame his activism. The piece begins with lyrics from an adapted “Ancestor Song,” symbolizing a call to action and intergenerational resilience. He describes participating in non-violent protests, including an eight-day hunger strike by 19 students, arrests of 61 comrades for demanding university divestment from apartheid and illegal occupation, and organizing encampments with hundreds of participants engaging in rallies, teach-ins, art, film screenings, and chants. Kharbouch explores themes of “radical love” for land and people in Gaza, collective grief over the genocide, and solidarity as a revolutionary practice rooted in Palestinian revolutionary traditions that reject colonialism, carcerality, and imperialism. He critiques passive hope, instead advocating for active, decolonial hope through community-building and bearing witness to atrocities, like the invasion of Rafah. Influenced by queer feminist approaches (citing scholars like Sarah Ihmoud and Robin Kelley), he emphasizes transforming anger and despair into sustainable world-making, while questioning intergenerational betrayal and the cynicism inherited from survival under oppression. Ultimately, the manifesto affirms the encampment’s role in a broader student rebellion, linking campus actions to global Palestinian liberation and calling for continued, unyielding commitment despite challenges. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2001028141851013528?s=20 https://twitter.com/JamesHartline/status/2001090533746467327?s=20 https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2001089445194235926?s=20 https://twitter.com/ProvidenceRIPD/status/2001345847133643062?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2001345847133643062%7Ctwgr%5E8764cf1453bd57445310069de900ad0f6828d697%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fbreaking-providence-police-release-photos-person-proximity-brown%2F https://twitter.com/nypost/status/2001047137308590081?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheSCIF/status/2000985628029403418?s=20 https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2001347329585012818?s=20 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2001000454042607728?s=20 DOGE Trump Suspends ‘Tech Prosperity Deal' With UK Over Censorship and Regulations by ‘Online Safety Bill' Hurting US Tech Companies Trump has suspended the ‘Tech Prosperity Deal' with the UK over its censorship push. The Telegraph reported: “The White House paused the tech prosperity deal amid concerns the Online Safety Act, which regulates online speech, will stifle American artificial intelligence companies, the Telegraph understands. The law allows the British government to levy large fines on tech giants it deems have facilitated hate speech.” After the rise of artificial intelligence, companies like OpenAI or xAI can face huge fines – harming their growth and giving China an edge in the AI race. “'The perception is that Britain is way out there on attempting to police what is said online, and it's caused real concern', a source with knowledge of the decision to suspend the deal said. ‘Americans went into this deal thinking Britain were going to back off regulating American tech firms but realized it was going to restrict the speech of American chatbots'.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com Geopolitical https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2001217017001685167?s=20 of our Assets, and many other reasons, including Terrorism, Drug Smuggling, and Human Trafficking, the Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA In 1970, as National Security Advisor, Kissinger was briefed on and helped shape US oil import policies toward Venezuela following a visit by Venezuelan President Rafael Caldera. These policies, announced in June 1970, focused on long-term petroleum development and were positively received by Venezuela, but they represented unilateral US adjustments rather than a negotiated deal. In 1972, Venezuela terminated a longstanding reciprocal trade agreement with the US that included concessional tariff rates on Venezuelan oil imports. Kissinger was informed of this as National Security Advisor, and the US considered maintaining low tariffs to avoid cost increases, but this was a termination process, not a new deal. Venezuela effectively took control of oil fields and assets from US companies on two major occasions, though the processes involved nationalization and expropriation rather than outright theft without legal frameworks or compensation. These actions shifted operations from private foreign (including US) entities to state control under the Venezuelan government.In the 1970s, Venezuela nationalized its entire oil industry, which had been largely developed and operated by foreign companies since the early 20th century. On January 1, 1976, the government officially took over, creating the state-owned Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA). This affected major US firms like Exxon (formerly Standard Oil), Gulf Oil, and others, which had held concessions. The companies were provided compensation as part of the process, and it was generally seen as an expected transition in global oil politics at the time, without major disruptions to US supply. In 2007, under President Hugo Chávez, Venezuela escalated state control by mandating that foreign oil projects in the Orinoco Belt (a massive heavy oil reserve) convert to joint ventures where PDVSA held at least a 60% stake. Companies like Chevron complied, but ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips refused, leading to the government expropriating their assets. International arbitration tribunals later ruled these actions unlawful, awarding ExxonMobil about $1.6 billion and ConocoPhillips over $8 billion in compensation (though Venezuela has contested and delayed payments). This has been a point of ongoing tension, with US firms pursuing Venezuelan assets globally to enforce the awards. These events did not involve taking oil fields directly from the US government but from American corporations with investments in Venezuela, reflecting broader shifts toward resource nationalism. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2001087786879795546?s=20 War/Peace Zelensky: If Putin rejects peace plan, US must give us weapons The Ukrainian leader issued the warning as Russia said it would not drop its claims to land it believes to be its own So Zelensky, NATO EU DS rewrote the plan knowing Russia wouldn’t accept it.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth directed all War Department department heads and principal staff assistants to “take immediate action to recognize and reward [the] very best” of the department's civilian workforce with “meaningful monetary awards consistent with the relevant existing civilian awards authorities for each pay system,” according to a memorandum for senior Pentagon leadership first obtained by The Daily Wire. The distribution of bonuses — which could reach up to $25,000 — is also in line with the Trump administration's broader efforts to make the federal government function more like a private-sector business. Source: dailywire.com FBI Agents Thought Clinton’s Uranium One Deal Might Be Criminal – But McCabe, Yates Stonewalled Investigation: Report Remember Uranium One? The massive 2010 sale of US uranium deposits to Russia approved by Hillary Clinton and rubber-stamped by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) – after figures linked to the deal donated to the Clinton Foundation? Turns out rank-and-file FBI investigators thought there was enough smoke to launch a criminal investigation, but internal delays and disagreements within the DOJ and FBI ultimately caused the inquiry to lapse, newly released records reveal. The Uranium One transaction – involving the sale of a Canadian mining company with substantial U.S. uranium assets to Russia's state-owned nuclear firm Rosatom – became a flashpoint during Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Critics argued that then-Secretary of State Clinton, a member of CFIUS, helped approve the deal while donors connected to Uranium One made large contributions to the Clinton Foundation. The newly released documents suggest that the circumstances surrounding Uranium One were never fully investigated, leaving unresolved questions about how a strategic U.S. asset came under Russian control – and whether potential criminal conduct went unexamined due to internal delays and legal disputes.

Ex-Marine planned attack in New Orleans that would ‘recreate’ Waco, officials say Plans to “carry out an attack” in New Orleans were thwarted after an ex-Marine was arrested while on the way to the Louisiana city with guns and body armor in the car, according to court documents obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press. Micah James Legnon, 28, was charged with threats in interstate commerce. Federal authorities said they had been surveilling Legnon due to ties to an extremist anti-capitalist and anti-government group. Four members of the group were arrested Friday in the Mojave Desert, east of Los Angeles, as they were rehearsing a foiled plot to set off bombs in Southern California on New Year's Eve, authorities said. Legnon believed it was time to “recreate” Waco with an attack in New Orleans, authorities said in court documents. They pointed to a Dec. 4 chat message by Legnon written under the alias “Kateri The Witch” the day after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrived in New Orleans. Legnon's alias had “she/her” written beside it, but jail records referred to Legnon as male.

The Senate can schedule consideration and a vote at any point during the remainder of the current Congress (the 119th Congress ends on January 3, 2027). If the Senate does not act before then, the bill dies and would need to be reintroduced in the next Congress.In practice, for time-sensitive legislation like the NDAA, the Senate typically votes shortly after the House (often within days or weeks) due to bipartisan urgency around defense authorizations, but this is not a requirement. https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/2001031213516304877?s=20 https://twitter.com/AGPamBondi/status/2000991371952357796?s=20 achievements will fail.

So everybody knows that — but I've often said that if I did, I'd have a very good chance of being an alcoholic. I have said that many times about myself, I do. It's a very possessive personality,” Trump told the Post. “I've said that many times about myself. I'm fortunate I'm not a drinker. If I did, I could very well, because I've said that — what's the word? Not possessive — possessive and addictive type personality. Oh, I've said it many times, many times before,” he added. Trump went on to tell the Post that he agrees the Vanity Fair article was a total hit job and Wiles's remarks were taken out of context. . Source: thegatewaypundit.com Based on recent reports, the entire Trump administration appears to be standing by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles following the Vanity Fair article, with no notable dissent. Specific individuals who have expressed support include: Name Position Donald Trump President JD Vance Vice President Doug Burgum Secretary of the Interior Scott Bessent Secretary of the Treasury Chris Wright Secretary of Energy Lori Chavez-DeRemer Secretary of Labor Linda McMahon Secretary of Education Scott Turner Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Brooke Rollins Secretary of Agriculture Sean Duffy Secretary of Transportation Kelly Loeffler SBA Administrator Lee Zeldin EPA Administrator Russ Vought OMB Director Pam Bondi Attorney General Kash Patel FBI Director Karoline Leavitt White House Press Secretary The [DS] has been trying to divide Trump adminitration from the beginning, they want people questioning everything, they are trying to have people doubt the administration. how do you show the people that you are not divided. Trump and team just changed the narrative, they took control, Susie and team most likely set this up, this way the team can tell the world they are united not divided. Information warfare. We are now moving into the next phase of the plan and the DS is panicking, the attacks against MAGA, his administration will continue, physical attacks will continue. The [DS] is fighting for their lives while Trump is dismantling their system and producing evidence on the treasonous crimes they have committed.

‘I do not see France as a country that must be closed. But I believe we must control immigration.'Nick Robinson speaks to National Rally leader Jordan Bardella about his vision for France. The 30-year-old is currently leading the polls to become the country's next President in 2027.He's on a media tour to woo businesses, and to persuade the world his party is now mainstream, despite its history with far right politics. It used to be the National Front - founded by Jean-Marie Le Pen, a convicted racist and Holocaust denier. Le Pen's daughter Marine re-branded the party and led it for many years, but is currently barred from public office after a conviction for embezzling EU funds, a verdict she plans to appeal. In her absence, her protégé Jordan Bardella finds himself in charge. He maintains the party has changed since its formative years. In this interview you'll hear why Mr Bardella rejects challenges on racism. He also says if he becomes president he'll call for a referendum on immigration "to take back control of our borders."

In this episode recorded live from the 2025 Reagan National Defense Forum in Simi Valley, hosts Lauren Bedula and Hondo Geurts sit down with the Honorable Michael "Mike" Dodd, Assistant Secretary of War for Critical Technologies and Acting Deputy Director of the Defense Innovation Unit. Secretary Dodd shares his remarkable journey from enlisted Marine amtracker to Mustang infantry officer, through over 25 years advising defense and finance companies, and back to the Pentagon to serve America's warfighters. The conversation explores the newly announced six critical technology areas, how entrepreneurs and innovators can engage with the Department of War, and Secretary Dodd's mission to deliver "an unfair fight" for U.S. service members through technological superiority and asymmetric advantages.Five Key Takeaways:The DoW has narrowed its focus from 14 to six critical technology areas: recognizing that "if everything's critical, nothing is," the department is concentrating resources on areas where the U.S. needs to achieve parity with near-peer competitors or maintain technological supremacy to deter major conflict through asymmetric advantages.The Pentagon is actively creating a "front door" for innovators: Secretary Dodd suggests we engage technologists where they are, encouraging entrepreneurs to present capabilities directly and get to a "no" quickly.Do your homework before engaging DoW: Successful companies come prepared knowing their potential transition partners, understanding the competitive landscape, and having thought through financial capacity and teaming opportunities to scale if they win contracts.You don't need to wear a uniform to serve your country: Secretary Dodd emphasizes that founders and funders bringing technology aligned with national security needs are serving their country in critical ways, whether as entrepreneurs or investors.The Department is prioritizing transition and operational alignment: Success isn't just about fast acquisition; it requires alignment with the combatant commands and service chiefs to ensure warfighters can actually absorb and employ new capabilities at scale for maximum impact downrange.

The cables were messy, the mics were hot, and the parking lot was already full when we sat down with Dano—Navy and Marine veteran, Region 5 Toys for Tots coordinator, and proud VW bus owner. What followed was a lively ride through car culture, community, and the nuts-and-bolts work that turns one toy into a holiday morning breakthrough.Dano rolls up in a 1974 Brazilian VW bus, a perfect entry point into a world where affordable classics still exist and weekend campouts feel like time travel. We dig into the differences between Brazilian and German buses, why a turnkey 30–50K bus beats a “rust bucket” restoration for most people, and how a modest 42 horsepower can carry a family farther than a spec sheet suggests. From curtains and pop-top campers to a prize-winning garage queen, Dano's stories capture why these quirky machines keep gathering people around them. He even shares how a Houston VW club grew from seven members to nearly 800 by staying welcoming and driving often.Then we switch gears to the mission: 28 years of Toys for Tots service, year-round. Dano breaks down the real logistics—unwrapped toys go to a Tomball warehouse, every item is counted, sorted by age and need, then bagged for registered nonprofits and families. Teens and kids with special needs are included, as are practical items like clothing and socks. A donated 27-foot truck was filled three times in a day because the need is that big. It's not a seasonal gesture; it's a supply chain for joy.We also run through the week's best cruise-ins, from Cypress to Clear Lake, and share frank thoughts on EV charging: adapters, access headaches, and why reliability matters. Whether you speak in volts or carburetors, the goal is the same—keep people moving and make the journey feel good.If you love car stories with heart, this one's for you.

Mongabay senior editor Philip Jacobson joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss a two-part investigation published this year in collaboration with the Pulitzer Center about how state governments in Brazil have been procuring shark meat — which is high in mercury and arsenic — served to potentially millions of schoolchildren and thousands of public institutions. With Mongabay's Karla Mendes and Pulitzer's Kuang Keng Kuek Ser, Jacobson spent a year digging into public databases of government shark meat orders, called tenders. "It's quite widespread," Jacobson says. "We found shark meat tenders in 10 states and shark meat being served or being procured for more than 500 municipalities." Government nutritionists were also found to be recommending shark meat for school lunches because it has no bones, and even when one school official raised concerns about heavy metal contamination in the meat, her concerns were not heeded. Critics' concerns extend beyond vulnerable populations like schoolkids, too, since shark is also on the menus of public institutions like homeless shelters, maternity wards and elder care centers. But since the investigation was released, one lawmaker has called for a parliamentary hearing to discuss the findings. The Mongabay Newscast is available on all major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify, and previous episodes are also accessible at our website's podcast page.

Josh Harris sits down with author Brian Recker to talk honestly about hell, deconstruction, and what remains when fear-based religion falls apart. Together, they explore the grief of losing religious community, the courage it takes to rethink deeply held beliefs, and why so many people feel spiritually homeless after walking away from traditional evangelical structures.Brian and Josh unpack how the doctrine of hell has shaped Christian mission, identity, and urgency, often at the expense of love, justice, and inclusion. They revisit Jesus' teachings on Gehenna, the “narrow gate,” and the cross, placing them back in their historical context and asking what they actually reveal about God, power, and resistance.About Brian ReckerBrian Recker is a former Marine officer, the son of a Baptist preacher, and a graduate of Bob Jones University. He spent eight years as an evangelical pastor before undergoing a profound deconstruction of his faith and moving toward a more inclusive, love-centered spirituality.Today, Brian speaks openly about following Jesus without fear of hell through his writing and social platforms, including his Substack, Beloved. His book, Hell Bent, challenges one of Christianity's most deeply embedded doctrines and argues that fear has distorted the heart of the gospel. Released on September 30, Hell Bent quickly became a USA Today best-seller.Brian lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, and is a father of four.Connect with BrianSubstack – Beloved: https://brianrecker.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/berecker/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@berecker87His book "Hell Bent": https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/771172/hell-bent-by-brian-recker/

The final chapter of Matthew Brunnemann's gripping three-part appearance on Mike Drop. In Part 3, the former Marine intel specialist and author of War Business: The Hired Guns of Helmand Province pulls no punches as he talks leaving the Corps, battling unseen PTSD, transitioning to civilian life, and the four-year journey to turn his private journals into a published book. He and Mike dive deep into the big-picture failures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the cultural incompatibilities that doomed nation-building, what America should (and shouldn't) have done after 9/11, and why the 2021 fall of Kabul still stings. Brunnemann also unloads his controversial master's thesis: a chilling, open-source prediction of a coordinated 72-hour terrorist attack that could cripple the U.S. Raw, unfiltered, and brutally honest – this is the conclusion you don't want to miss.

Strap in for Joe Oltmann Untamed, where the gloves are off and the truth hits harder than a Marine boarding party. Yesterday, U.S. forces seized a Venezuelan oil tanker loaded with 1.1 million barrels of sanctioned crude funding Hezbollah and Iran's terror machine—zero resistance, maximum message. Kash Patel announces the takedown while Trump hints at even bigger plays. But back home, the betrayal deepens: Georgia's GOP Secretary of State refuses to hand over voter rolls to the DOJ, Smartmatic's Venezuelan engineer ran elections in Texas, and TSA whistleblowers expose suitcases of cash and passports flowing through Minneapolis unchecked. Joe rages—this isn't incompetence, it's an insurrection daring us to act.Marine veteran Don Workman joins the fight: decorated warrior, January 6 patriot, home raided by the regime, and fully pardoned by President Trump. Don pulls no punches on how America lost its way—rigged elections, economic sabotage, social decay, and a leadership vacuum filled by spineless sellouts. From endless debt and foreign dependence to the persecution of whistleblowers like Tina Peters, Don lays out the brutal reality: if we don't restore election integrity, slash spending, reclaim our culture, and replace the traitors, the republic is done.The madness never stops: Ann Vandersteel blows the lid off CIA complicity in Venezuelan gang takeovers and Somali fraud networks bleeding billions from taxpayers, while Yale invites speakers to diagnose the “psychopathic white mind” and socialist council members sneer at citizens daring to question them. Jasmine Crockett drops cringe rap videos while eyeing a Senate seat, but there's a glimmer—DHS just inked $140 million for Boeing 737 deportation flights. Joe closes with fire: this is spiritual warfare, income tax slavery, and a government that fears the people it's supposed to serve. No hopium, no retreat—just raw truth and a call to stand untamed.

Four years after bombs were planted at DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021, the FBI just pinned it on Brian Cole—a reclusive autistic man who doesn't match the gait, height, or profile. Recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphin, who ran surveillance one door away from real suspects before being ordered to stand down, says this is a blatant patsy job. Forensic gait analysis shows a 94–98% match to former Capitol Police officer (now CIA) Shauni Kerkhoff; USCP officers walked past the live DNC bomb to poke bushes the bomber sat in 17 hours earlier; cell-phone data was scrubbed, leads were buried. Seraphin pulls no punches: this smells like an inside false flag, and Trump's own DOJ is now helping seal the coffin.Right now—literally as this show airs—70-year-old cancer patient and election whistleblower Tina Peters is being marched back into solitary confinement in Colorado's La Vista prison: 22 hours a day in a filthy cell, lights on 24/7, no yard time, “for her safety.” This comes days after her pardon request landed on President Trump's desk and Harmeet Dhillon launched a formal investigation into Colorado's prison system. Seraphin connects the retaliation: the same Dominion images Tina preserved—now corroborated by a Venezuelan general's confession of foreign election meddling—make her a national-security asset, not a criminal. Yet Colorado's regime keeps tightening the screws while Judge Varholak shrugs and says “wait your turn.”Kyle Seraphin—husband, dad, Marine vet, and FBI whistleblower—comes locked and loaded with fresh intel, whistleblower coordination, and a no-compromise call to action. From crashing the White House switchboard to forcing congressional hearings, this is the time to break the silence. The fuse is lit. Listen hard, move fast, or we lose everything.
In this gripping episode of the Mike Drop podcast, host Mike Ritland sits down with Matthew Brunnemann, a Marine Corps veteran who spent over 500 days in Afghanistan's volatile Helmand Province. Brunnemann shares raw, firsthand accounts from his deployments, including intense combat operations, opium interdiction raids, and the harsh realities of counterinsurgency warfare. As the author of "War Business: The Hired Guns of Helmand Province," he offers a unique perspective on the cultural clashes and strategic failures that defined America's longest war. The conversation delves into Brunnemann's experiences as an on-the-ground Intel operator, from tracking Taliban commanders and installing covert devices to partnering with local forces amid a chaotic drawdown. He recounts heartbreaking losses, like the IED attack that killed "Doc" Beauchamp, and the moral dilemmas faced when dealing with Afghan civilians and children caught in the crossfire. Brunnemann's stories highlight the ingenuity of the enemy, the frustrations of limited resources, and the unbreakable bonds formed among Marines in the face of relentless danger. Brunnemann discusses his transition to civilian life, his faith journey, and his master's thesis on potential terrorist threats to U.S. homeland security. This three-hour discussion is a must-listen for anyone interested in military history, intelligence operations, and the human cost of modern conflict, blending tactical insights with profound reflections on war's enduring impact.
