The Acts of the Disciples: Barnabas and the Power of Encouragement | Pastor George SawyerWhat if one of the most powerful spiritual gifts isn't preaching, leading, or teaching, but encouragement?In this message from Calvary, Pastor George Sawyer launches a new series through the Book of Acts by examining the life of Barnabas, one of the most influential yet often overlooked leaders in the early church. While many focus on the apostles, this message highlights how God used an ordinary believer to help shape extraordinary Kingdom impact.Discover how Barnabas helped Saul (Paul) find acceptance after his dramatic conversion, encouraged a growing revival in Antioch, and became a catalyst for church growth through generosity, faithfulness, and Spirit-led encouragement.

The subjunctive has a reputation for being one of the trickiest parts of Spanish, but you don't always need it to talk about what might happen. In this episode, Pablo shares three everyday expressions, a lo mejor, igual and lo mismo, that let you express possibility and uncertainty using the ordinary indicative. They're common, natural and a great way to sound more relaxed when you're not quite sure about something.➡️ Click here to watch the video version of this episode.➡️ Love learning in short bursts?

Somewhere in almost every ADHD conversation, someone eventually says it.'There weren't kids like this when I was at school.'Or the slightly more polite version:'Why are there suddenly so many ADHD kids now?'And if you're a parent of a neurodivergent child, you've probably heard this one too:'Maybe it's just screens.'This episode pulls that myth apart.Because the truth is far more complex — and far more interesting.ADHD didn't suddenly appear in the last 20 years.What has changed is how classrooms work, what children are expected to do inside them, and how visible neurodivergence becomes when the environment shifts.In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest myths about ADHD and neurodivergence:Are there actually more neurodivergent children now?Or are we finally recognising what was always there?WHAT WE COVER– The myth that 'there were no ADHD kids in the past'– Why increased diagnosis does not mean ADHD is suddenly more common– How modern classrooms have changed dramatically over the last 30 years– Why language demands in early schooling are much higher than they used to be– What happens when school expectations exceed a child's nervous system capacity– The difference between developmental opportunity and underlying neurodevelopmental differences– Why early learning environments play a crucial role in supporting neurodivergent kids– The societal changes affecting children's development, play and independence– How pandemic stress and modern family pressure has reshaped childhood environments– Why blaming screens oversimplifies a much bigger developmental conversationWHAT THE RESEARCH ACTUALLY SAYSOne of the most cited global studies on ADHD prevalence analysed 175 international studies and found that ADHD rates have remained relatively stable over time.What has changed is recognition and diagnosis, not the existence of neurodivergent children.Global prevalence research:https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/135/4/e994/33967/Prevalence-of-Attention-Deficit-HyperactivityThis systematic review, published in Pediatrics, remains one of the most widely referenced papers estimating ADHD prevalence worldwide.WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN AUSTRALIAIn Australia, population-level data also tells an important story.The Australian Early Development Census tracks developmental vulnerability across the country and consistently shows that many children are entering school with developmental differences in communication, emotional regulation and social skills.AEDC National Report:https://www.aedc.gov.au/resources/detail/2021-aedc-national-reportImportantly, developmental vulnerability does not mean something is 'wrong' with a child.It tells us that children's environments, expectations and support systems all interact with how development unfolds.And when school expectations increase, differences often become more visible.THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF– You have heard someone say 'there weren't kids like this when we were growing up'– You're navigating an ADHD diagnosis and feeling overwhelmed by misinformation– You're trying to explain neurodivergence to family members who don't understand– Your child struggles in modern classrooms but thrives in other environments– You've wondered whether society has changed more than children have– You want research-backed information about ADHD prevalenceMORE ABOUT SALLY GALLOWAY & KAT MARRINGTONKat Marrington (Speech Pathologist) at www.Talkiplay.comSally Galloway (Occupational Therapist) at www.sallygalloway.com.auFREE ADHD RESOURCESIf you're exploring ADHD for yourself or your child, these free tools can help.ADHD Self-TestA quick screening tool to help adults identify whether ADHD traits might be worth exploring further.https://adhdmums.com.au/adhd-self-test/Free ADHD ResourcesGuides, articles and practical support for ADHD families.https://adhdmums.com.au/resources/

What happens when two sex-positive women start casually chatting about rim jobs? Apparently… a whole lot of self-discovery.

Have you ever felt like building your business required you to do things you don't believe in or become someone you're not? What if the real issue isn't your strategy, but the fact that your brand isn't fully aligned with who you are? In this episode of The Business of You, Rachel sits down with Christine Williams to unpack why alignment is the foundation of sustainable success and how to make personal branding the effortless routine it should be, not the soul-selling chore it's devolved into. Christine Williams is a seven-figure entrepreneur, bestselling author, and Forbes Coaches Council member who mentors women coaches and holistic entrepreneurs to grow businesses rooted in clarity, values, and identity-led leadership. She's built and scaled multiple businesses from scratch while raising a family of five — and her work challenges nearly every outdated rule about marketing and sales. In this episode, Christine breaks down how to build a brand without sacrificing yourself, why marketing should feel relational instead of transactional, and how her six-step Soulful Abundance System creates growth you can feel good about. Identity First, Strategy Second Christine believes the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is jumping straight to tactics without defining and articulating their identity. Before funnels, offers, or visibility, she starts with the inner game — getting your mindset, confidence, and energy into alignment. When entrepreneurs believe in their value and trust their process, execution becomes easier and results follow faster. Without that foundation, even the best strategy falls flat. Alignment isn't a mindset buzzword — it's the multiplier behind every business decision. She explains why sustainable growth comes from choosing how you want to show up each day instead of reacting to the market, trends, or external pressure. Soulful Sales, Not Pushy Marketing Christine reframes sales as a service-driven process built on attraction, nurture, and invitation — not persuasion. Rather than dragging strangers into offers, she teaches entrepreneurs to create pathways that allow relationships to form naturally. Her "front porch" analogy paints a powerful picture: your job isn't to chase people down, but to create a welcoming space where the right clients feel safe, seen, and ready to step forward. By the time someone is invited to work with you, they're already pre-qualified — which removes pressure, resistance, and burnout from the sales process altogether. Enjoy this episode with Christine Williams… Soundbytes 05:49 - 06:44 "The things they did teach me while I was going through coaching school was, 'OK, this is how you get a client. You're just going to book a whole bunch of discovery sessions and sell them your package.' So it was basically trying to take a stranger into a buyer, which never felt good to me. It always felt like I was offering a free coaching session, but really the intention was, I'm trying to make a sale. It felt really out of alignment for me. I would sit and cross my fingers and hope, 'Maybe they won't show up for the call.' I just did not like to try to overcome somebody's objections. It felt like I had to be so convincing. I had to convince them. I had to persuade them. I had to drag them across the finish line to get them to say, 'Yes.' And I just decided that I wasn't going to do that anymore. So I stopped. I decided to figure out a different way, which was based on building relationships." 29:45 - 30:21 "Our inner game is like the foundation. It's the foundation of all the steps I'm talking about. Even though I start with it as step 1, it gets interwoven through everything, because if we're not feeling confident in showing up and being in front of people to create visibility, then that's going to be a block. If we're not reaching out to somebody who just joined our Facebook group, that's going to be a block. If we don't have a positive mindset and we're worried about bothering somebody or annoying somebody so that we never make invitations, that's going to be a block. So the inner game, I really think it's 80% of our work." Quotes "Personal brand isn't a performance — it's the foundation." "There is no convincing or persuading when alignment is present." "When selling becomes service, pressure disappears." "You don't scale by doing more — you scale by becoming more aligned."

Jennifer Shaffer is a medium/intuitive who works with members of law enforcement nationwide, including agents from the FBI, NYPD and LAPD. We met ten years ago and began a conversation that has continued undaunted onto this podcast.   I'm a filmmaker, author who has written 13 books about the afterlife, Jennifer and I met up ten years ago and have been meeting weekly ever since.  We have four books together BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE 1, 2, 3 and TUNING INTO THE AFTERLIFE. Jennifer has been instrumental in helping me to get information from people offstage - including #AmeliaEarhart and the book #SheWasNeverLost - the Amelia Earhart saga. In today's podcast we talk to someone that Jennifer didn't know when he was on the planet, but has met and works with members of his family.  In our podcast, he refers to someone who saw him many years ago - someone whom I knew who worked with him.   Upon further reflection, I'm not sure if he was referring to my friend or not - but either way, I knew who Jennifer was referring to.  Steve wanted to speak about AI - and argue that it's not something to fear but something that will enhance the ability of people to think at a faster rate. We talked about the value and pitfalls of that - and he's arguing that people can use it as a tool that it's meant to be used as.   I asked some questions about #Parkinsons (and the show "Shrinking which had an episode about it) as well as my old USC professor the late Coleman Hough who had Parkinsons and appears in the film HACKING THE AFTERLIFE where it vanishes during her six hour interview. We talked about how that is or why that happened, and then talk about the idea that "filters on the brain" (see Dr. Greysons book AFTER pg 125 or DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE for a discussion of the research into filters on the brain) might be something to examine, look into as science tries to cure Parkinsons. We reiterate we're asking questions, not giving any medical advice - not medical advice is implied or suggested or given.  However, when talking about the brain and the research involved with looking for "filters on the brain" and how it is that Jennifer's brain is in a "delta state" during her sessions (as proven by MRI's that she has done on camera, and the same results were demonstrated via Dr. Drew and Tyler Henry's MRIs.)  That people who do this kind of mediumship MAY BE stepping past those filters - and that doing so on a daily basis may help or heal parts of the brain. That's the general discussion and we do these discussions to inspire people to do their own. Hope this helps.

"Golf has been experiencing incredible growth and innovation and will continue to do so. But behind every great idea is a spark of capital and there was a gap. Broader sports investors weren't really paying attention to the category, and we thought, 'Maybe there's a huge opportunity here.'" Matt Erley is the Managing Partner of Old Tom Capital, a pioneering investment fund specifically focused on early-stage golf and golf-adjacent companies. With a career spanning operational roles and angel investing, Matt co-founded the firm to address a critical gap in the market, providing strategic capital to the innovators shaping the future of the $100 billion golf industry. Named as an homage to the legendary innovator Old Tom Morris, the fund embodies a belief in golf's resilient growth and the transformative power of backing great founders in spaces like agronomy, golf software, emerging media, and the "golf light" experience economy. During this episode you will discover these inspiring takeaways: 1. The "Unfair Advantage" for Founders Discover how an investment from Old Tom Capital is more than just money; it's a strategic partnership designed to give your company a leg up on the competition. Matt Erley reveals that their goal is to provide portfolio companies with an "unfair competitive advantage" through their deep network and operational expertise. Unlike passive investors, Old Tom actively helps its companies by making key introductions, offering strategic guidance, and leveraging synergies across their entire portfolio. For any founder or aspiring entrepreneur, this insight into what a true value-add investor looks like is invaluable and reveals how the right capital partner can accelerate growth. 2. The "Golf Light" Revolution Learn about the massive, under-the-radar investment trend that is making golf more accessible and creating the next wave of golfers. Move beyond traditional 18-hole courses and Topgolf. Matt introduces the compelling narrative of "Golf Light"—the high-growth category encompassing driving ranges, par-3 courses, and short courses. He explains why this segment is perfectly positioned to capture the new, "golf-curious" audience looking for a faster, less expensive, and more social experience. His investment in Blue Jeans Golf exemplifies this thesis, highlighting a huge opportunity to "glow up" thousands of independent driving ranges across the country. 3. How to Actually Get Noticed by a Golf Investor Cut through the noise and learn the specific milestones and mindset you need to successfully secure funding for your golf venture. Matt pulls back the curtain on Old Tom's investment process, offering a clear roadmap for founders. He explains why they typically avoid very early-stage "ideas" and what they look for instead: tangible momentum, initial monetization, and a clear path to a $100M+ business. He also debunks common mistakes, like leading with an NDA, and emphasizes the importance of simply starting to build and validate your concept in the accessible golf ecosystem.

It's not going to just come from us. It needs to come from a lot of sources." On the philosophy behind their investments: "The moment we write a check, we like to think that we give that company an unfair competitive advantage because of who we are and what we put into it and the network that we've built." On the massive shift in how golf is consumed: "More people watch golf on YouTube than all linear television golf combined. And it's not cannibalizing the PGA Tour it's just being additive."

Geoff and Marie's Good Life: Part 4A forty year warmup.Taking passion to a state of the art.Based on posts by Only In My Mind, in 15 parts. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.Main characters.Geoff:   The narrator. A retired materials scientist. Mid-sixties. 5 foot 10 inches, ex amateur rugby player, still swims, runs and walks to keep fit. More than adequately equipped to satisfy his wife.Marie:   Geoff's wife. A retired modern languages lecturer. Same age as her husband. 5 foot 2 inches voluptuous build, with D cup tits and proportionate bum and hips. Shoulder length brown hair, brown eyes and olive skin inherited from her French grandmother.Angie:   Marie's best friend. A mathematician who claims to be retired. Geoff suspects that she still consults as a cryptographer for M I 5 at GCHQ but she won't discuss it. Early sixties. 5 foot 10 inches, slender athletic build. Firm B cup tits, brown hair and famously dirty mind.I sat, rapt, as they explored each other's bodies with their hands as the kiss went on. Angie put her hands on my wife's full round buttocks and pulled her so that their bellies were hard against each other. Marie began to unbutton Angie's blouse to expose the small but perfect tits barely hidden by her tiny lace bra. My wife removed her friends blouse entirely and threw it to me while she slipped the bra straps from her friends shoulders. She reached behind and within seconds the bra flew my way too.They both looked briefly to gauge my response, and smiled as they saw me grinning at them as I held the discarded clothes to my nose. I wasn't being pervy. Their scent was delicious; it was Angie's scent.Seeing that I was still content to watch, it was Angie's turn to undo the tie holding Marie's wrap-around dress and as it fell open we were treated to the sight of her pale blue bra, more substantial than Angie's as it had to do more heavy lifting, and tiny matching briefs. Marie's bra followed her dress and again I buried my nose in the fabric as I let the dress hit the floor. The two women smelled so different. Angie's scent seemed fresh and outdoorsy, Marie's scent was headier and made me think of romantic evenings in bed. The pair fondled each other's tits and drew their hands down each other's bellies but then they stopped and stared at me. Oh, yes, we were testing the ED22.My two, near naked, women stalked across to me and pulled me to my feet. They each took a hand and held it to a tit. Marie pulled me down to lock her lips against mine and then eased her tongue into my mouth. "I enjoy Angie's kisses," she murmured as she broke away briefly. "But I enjoy yours more."I have to admit that the kissing was so intense that I almost neglected to knead that glorious tit. Note, I said 'almost'. Then Marie peeled my hand away from her nipple and slowly and deliberately put it between her legs. I took the opportunity to run my index finger along the gusset, feeling the puffy mounds either side of that lovely little slit. My God! She was so damp alreadyMarie let go of me and moved around behind so that Angie took center stage. Angie kissed me too, just as passionately. Only while she and I were tangling tongues, my wife was undoing my trousers from behind. Once they dropped away, Angie stood back and unbuttoned my shirt. I tried to help. That's a lie: I just kept fondling her boobs while they undressed me.At last we were all standing in the bedroom in just our underwear. Marie in pale blue briefs, Angie in white lace panties and, be honest, you don't care in the slightest what color M and S undies I had on. It didn't matter anyway as the girls had mine off in seconds. Marie knelt in front of me and took my cock in her hands. Little Geoff had started to pump up when they started on each other. By the time Marie put my hand on her tit he was already fully at attention.As Marie began to stroke me gently as a prelude to showing her teacher the progress she'd made in her oral sex homework, Angie had moved next to me and taken my hand and slipped it inside her panties. She was just as wet as my wife had been. It's odd really, how sexy it seems, groping a woman inside her knickers. I knew I was going to see, touch, lick, enter, both of these women's cunts very shortly, but just having my hand in her pants like that and feeling her up seemed just so fucking, I don't know, adolescent.Angie turned my head to hers and we resumed our passionate kisses. Actually resumed probably understates it. We resumed kissing but the passion went up several notches. On my part because my wife was going full-bore porn star on me and had her nose pressed up against my belly as she inhaled my cock; on Angie's part because I had my hand in her pants with my fingers inside her while my thumb did terrible and dirty things to her clit.I tried to be analytical, I really did, but all I could really feel was my wife's mouth engulfing me, and my fingers in her best friend's cunt. Insofar as I gave it any thought at all the ED22 didn't seem to make my cock feel any different.It wasn't too long before I managed to take a breath to warn Marie that I was close but I guessed that she could tell but didn't care much either way. Ever since I've known her she's been a swallower.Angie and I had by now rearranged ourselves a little. We were still swapping saliva but I had one hand under her bum cheeks and into her cunt from behind while the other was massaging her tits and paying particular attention to her nipples. They were like pebbles. In the end we had to break off from our kiss because neither of us could really focus on it. We were both so close. I'm sorry ladies, but this time I have to admit that, despite my best efforts to hold it back, I shot my load into my wife's mouth before I could bring Angie off.by way of atonement, as soon as I'd stopped thrusting my hips trying to push my cock impossibly far into Marie's mouth to extract the last strands of semen, we led Angie to our bed and I knelt between her legs to bring her to her orgasm with my tongue. She was so close that I had barely got into my stride at sucking her clit when I felt her go over. I had my hand on her belly at the time and I could feel abdominal muscles clench as it hit her. I still kept licking though, until she begged me to stop.Marie had been a little trooper. She had given me a great blow job and now it was my turn to pleasure her. She helped me to slip her panties off. No ripping these off, this coordinated lingerie stuff isn't cheap. But the sight that confronted me left me as enchanted as ever, even after over forty five years together. She spread her thighs for me and I spent a moment just savoring the view and her scent. I kissed my way up her thighs until I reached the promised land. I reached up with my hands for her to press them to her tits while my tongue lapped at her labia. Her clit was still a little shy so I tried to make friends with it and eventually it came out to play. We toyed with each other for a minute or two and then I went to say 'Hello' to her cunt. Gents, try it: say 'Hello' to your partners cunt; I doubt that you'll be disappointed with the response. Marie certainly seemed to appreciate my efforts.I laid between her thighs doing everything I could with hands and tongue to give her joy, up to and including using my tongue on her bum. Eventually I realized that my cock was fully hard again and ready to go. Marie was a little spaced out by now so I decided not to confuse her with having to choose from a menu of sexual positions and I decided to go with, what I choose to think of as, 'missionary plus'. That is with my wife on her back, but with her ankles on my shoulder. At our age, you make the most of positions like this, once the arthritis kicks in it might never be an option again.Anyway, Marie was deliciously wet and I was reassuringly hard so I slipped into her and we began to make love. It was a delight to look down at her as I massaged her glorious tits and saw her smiling up at me as she tried to synch her movements with mine. "Go on," I told her. "Be a dirty girl and play with your clit while I fuck you." And she did. It looked so hot. I had her legs up against my chest giving me a porn cameraman's view of my cock pumping in and out of her cunt, shining with her juice, her fingers rubbing at her clit and my hands mauling her tits. I was in my absolute, ultimate happy place.They say, 'All good things must come to an end.' And we eventually reached a point where we couldn't keep together any more. I couldn't keep to that rhythm, I needed to go faster and Marie couldn't keep in sync with me. She kept making little jerking movements that told me she was close. I stopped just massaging her boobs and started to concentrate on her nips, tweaking and pulling and getting quite rough now she was on the edge. Her breathing started to rag as she tried to push against me until she finally pushed up one last time and froze. I put my hand on her hips and pulled her to me to put that last thrust as deep as I could inside of her and held for as long as I could. I could feel her tighten around me and that took me with her like it usually does and I felt my seed burst out into her.It didn't take long for little Geoff to go down, then I lay alongside my wife and kissed her lovingly. After a few minutes I looked across to Angie sitting quietly watching us with her hand between her legs. "Can we do it like that next time Geoff?" She said, quietly. "Just the two of us?"I turned back to Marie, but before I could speak she said, "I'll leave you two alone for a while. I'm going to the bathroom now and then I'm going to go downstairs to make us some supper and something to drink. The pair of you can come down when you're finished. And Geoff," she added. "Don't let your head fuck this up for her. I know how you feel about Angie and I love her too. You won't be cheating on me if you make love to her. She deserves better than the two shits she was married to, so make it special anyway you can."Marie got up and took her friend by the hand to pull her from the chair. She kissed her and said, "He's all yours for the next half an hour or so. All I ask is that you don't break him." She walked across the bedroom, picking her dressing gown from the hook on the door, and left calling, "Have fun!" over her shoulder as she went.I was sitting on the edge of the bed watching as Marie left and I indicated to Angie that she should come and sit on my lap. I wasn't hard again yet but it was still an enjoyable sensation to have a naked woman sitting there while I was naked too."Was that a bit harsh?" I asked her. "I mean, I never really got to know your first husband well, though I never really warmed to number two at all.""No, it was fair enough, I suppose," she answered. "It was like," she struggled to explain. "It was like, we made a great couple on paper, but in reality we were more like housemates; both times. And, because neither of them really loved me, cheating on me didn't really cause them a lot of guilt." Her eyes started to fill with tears. "I've had so much fun with you and Marie these last few days, but I couldn't live with myself if she ended up feeling the way that I did.""You know that I worried about that too," I told her. "But even though I've been doubtful from the beginning, she has never once showed any jealousy towards you and I: and she actually expects all of us, and by us I mean me and your mates, to develop 'feelings' towards each other if and when we actually start to have sex." I gave Angie a big squeeze around the waist, "You know, like you have with my missus: And with me."She snuggled into me. I put one arm around her shoulder to pull her close and the other on her tit, because I'm a man and we like fondling boobs. She turned a little towards me so that we could kiss properly and we did. It was very nice so we did it some more. I wondered if taking my hand off her boob and putting it between her legs would make kissing even better, and I think it fair to say that it did. It also gave me a very clear indication that she was probably almost ready to make love."Geoff?" She asked. "Can I suck your cock? I want to taste you and Marie before you and I have sex.""How would you feel about honoring Marie's ancestry and going a bit continental?" I asked. hopefully.She grinned at me between kisses. "Are you talking about the old 'Soixante-neuf'?"I smiled back. "I like a challenge, and I'd love to see if I can actually please you with my mouth at the same time as you are sucking me."She stood up and pushed me onto my back. "Assume the position, kiddo, it's going to get rough."I moved to the center of the bed and looked down. My cock was already showing signs of interest in the immediate future and Angie hadn't really moved yet. She just stood looking at me until I started to feel a little self-conscious. Then she gave a little smile and climbed onto the bed and maneuvered herself so that I got an access-all-areas view of her lady parts. I reached behind me and grabbed one of those cushions that women insist on buying for the bedrooms; you know what I mean, the ones you chuck on the floor before you go to bed, and then have to put back on in the morning. Anyway, I'd finally found a use for the fucking things; to support my head whilst Angie and I 69ed each other.She was already wet before I started and her labia were pretty engorged. They were pretty to look at too. She tasted lovely. Because she was face down on me her clit was in the 'wrong' place, but I struggled manfully to cope and eventually we became best pals and playmates.Angie wasn't idle though: Oh, no. She had her hand wrapped around my shaft working it as she licked the tip. I couldn't see, but from the feel of it, Little Geoff was at about eighty percent erect and climbing. Angie took him all in her mouth, and when I say that I mean that a fair old bit was actually in her throat. My hips bounced up without any thoughts from my big head. Little Geoff was in charge down there so I turned my attention back to Angie's special little place.I had French kissed her labia and nuzzled her clitoris and now it was time to focus on her cunt. I had a hand free to open her tunnel to allow my tongue to tease her while my other hand tried to catch one of her nipples as she bobbed on my cock.It's difficult to describe a 69 because there's so much happening at once and half of it you can't see; it's just sensation. For my part, my view was a pair of sleek buttocks framing a cleft with a lovely little pucker just about at nose level. One hand was playing gently with Angie's clit having given up on the nipple exercise:   I kept losing my grip and couldn't concentrate enough to find it by feel;  while the other continued to toy with her lips as I kissed them. Oh, the touch of them on my tongue as I lapped between them. Oh, the velvety texture and the taste of her juices; I was in heaven.But that's what I was doing. Meanwhile, Angie had not been idle. My nuts had been comprehensively licked, sucked and damn near swallowed whole from the feel of it. My cock had been licked like an everlasting lollipop and now, Jesus! And now, her head was bobbing up and down as though her life depended on it. I wasn't too close yet but I realized that it was time to bump belly-buttons."Angie," I called her name. "Angie, I want to make love to you now." She gave one last deep bob on my cock and pulled up, sucking hard all the way. I patted the bed next to me as she straightened. "I want you to lie next to me so that we can taste each other,"She joined me and we snuggled. It was a dirty snuggle as she was holding my cock and I had a finger in her cunt, but it was a snuggle all the same. We kissed for a few minutes. I think it would be weird to say that I enjoyed the taste of my cock on her lips, but I liked and was aroused by the idea of us sharing our tastes so intimately. But it was time to move down to address those lovely little tits with the adorable pink nipples. I know they were adorable because I adored them and I showed her just how much. I squeezed them, licked them, sucked them, bit them ever so gently at first but harder when she instructed me to.I told her that I wanted her to ride me and rolled onto my back. She just climbed aboard and reached between us and then gave a teasing smile. "Is this what you had in mind?" She asked as she slid her slit back and forth against my shaft.I put my hands behind my head as I lay back to enjoy the view. "Well," I replied, "I'd rather be inside you but if that makes you happy you'll get no complaints from me."She cocked her head as if in thought for a moment and then reached between us and slid little Geoff inside her. I've actually lost count of the number of times I'd fucked Angie at that point, but every time felt new. She paused for a moment to settle and then she leaned forward with her hands on my chest as I reached up to her tits. She sighed."Angie," I said. "Hard and fast, slow and gentle. It doesn't matter to me; I just want to be inside you. You just feel so right wrapped around my cock." She closed her eyes and started to move in little circles on my groin pressing her clit hard against me as she went. I love this position, have I mentioned that? The sight, the sensation, access to her tits and, oh yes, easy access to that naughty little clit. What's not to love.Angie was in charge for now, and she seemed happy enough to set a slow leisurely pace. I contented myself with playing with her boobs and giving her clit a little tickle once in a while. Then she opened her eyes and said, "That was nice, but now I want you to take over." She slipped off me and laid on her back.I didn't want to lose the momentum she'd given us towards our next climax so I couldn't waste time thinking about different positions. I just lay on top of her and kissed her as I slipped back inside. She raised both knees either side of me and I began to slide back and forth as we kissed. After a few minutes I decided to kneel up and pull her bum onto my lap to press my cock against the top wall of her cunt as we fucked. The change of position seemed to work as her breathing got harder and her hips moved more urgently against me. Then I felt her clench my cock as she started to come. I pounded harder and harder to bring myself off while she was still climaxing. I watched her staring up at me in rapt concentration as she tried to ride her own orgasm for as long as she could, and as she started to come down I felt the sensation that I had been working for building in my balls, and in seconds I felt the pulse of heat shoot down my cock as I erupted into her.Afterwards, we lay together for a while, not even talking, just bathing in the afterglow. I was on my back and Angie on side cuddled up with my arm around her. Then she gave me a peck on the cheek. "I suppose," she said. "If I want to keep doing this, I'd better let you go back to your wife.""You know," I replied. "We keep breaking the rules." She looked puzzled. "I know Marie said it was okay, but I just don't like her being alone while you and I are together."We climbed out of bed and slipped on our dressing gowns and made our way downstairs. We found Marie in the living room, fast asleep on the sofa. We only had to look at each other to silently agree that this was not a woman wracked with jealousy. We looked in the kitchen where she had three cups of drinking chocolate ready to reheat and some posh chocolate biscuits (UK, remember?) on a plate covered with cling film.Angie had a wicked idea. We warmed our drinks up and then went to sit quietly with my sleeping wife as we drank them and dunked our biscuits. Once we were finished we crept over to Marie and untied her dressing gown. I knelt at her head and Angie at her waist and together we, ever so gently, began to kiss and caress her. Our intent was not to wake her, but to see how aroused she would be by our efforts when she did wake up.After five minutes her nipples were hard. After seven, she shifted to make herself more accessible, after ten she started to moan. Angie grinned at me. "Okey dokey lab rat. I'll go and get her supper sorted while you give her a good seeing to."I put my hand between her thighs and gently rubbed her lips with my middle finger while my thumb gently toyed with her clit. She stirred some more and then said in a sleepy voice, "Those tablets had better still be working, husband mine, 'cos if you've woken me up like this and you aren't going to deliver, then you and I are going to have a problem."I looked down to see little (still not that little) Geoff smiling up at me, he was having the time of his life. "If you don't want to do it for me, my love, then do it for science." I encouraged her. "Just lie back and think of England. The South Downs are lovely this time of year and I am just about to have a lovely time down south too."So saying, I managed to scoot her around on the sofa so that I could get between her legs from my position on the floor and I slid into her. She sighed contentedly as I moved back and forth, in and out. My position was perfect for attending to her boobs too, Just in case they were feeling neglected. A couple of minutes later Angie came back from the kitchen with a cup and plate for Marie that she set on the coffee table."Good Lord," she said in mock annoyance. "Hasn't he brought you off yet, Babe?"Marie gave a little pout, "No, but bless him; he's doing his best."That stung a little but it did encourage me to try a bit harder and Angie helped by leaning over the back of the sofa and grabbing my wife's tits and giving her little nubs a really good squeeze. Marie wasn't looking so sleepy now as her breathing was starting to go and her hips were jerking as the muscle spasms began. I was too close and shot my fourth load of the evening into her while she was still ramping up to her own climax. Fortunately I was able to keep pounding into her while I was still hard, I had a hand free to rub her clit and Angie was doing sterling service on her nipples. Between us we managed to take her over the edge.It was getting late now, so I put a silly quiz show from catch-up on the TV and we sat snuggled together watching on the sofa while Marie had her drink. As soon as it finished the girls disappeared upstairs while I put the cups and plates in the dishwasher and did my rounds. By the time I got upstairs they were in our bed but cuddled up together. I expected to be in the middle but Marie explained that I was going to sleep on the other side of Angie because, keen as she was for sausage for breakfast, she'd enjoy it better after an uninterrupted night's sleep.I lay back and let my thoughts run free. It had been a busy day. I found myself wondering about my new friend Ken and whether Mrs. Ken enjoyed their evening together when he got home. I wondered at my lack of concern when Marie gave him a very long and apparently very sincere apology for embarrassing him. I wondered about her cheerfully encouraging me to fuck her best friend. I thought about Linda and what she made of her mother's newly discovered;  as far as Linda knows;  bisexuality. Then the last thought struck me. A week today Marie would be meeting her mates for their regular night out together. What the fuck's going to happen after that?An intriguing offer for her friends.It was Friday morning, and not just any Friday. That afternoon my wife was going to meet her six best friends for their regular fortnightly catch-up at the local pub. "So what?" I hear you say. So this! I knew as I lay in bed, waiting for my turn in the bathroom, that she intended to offer my 'services' to all six of her mates if they wanted. That's right; I meant what you're thinking. She had persuaded me that none of her friends had the sex-life that they deserved and she wanted to share our newly rekindled sexuality with them. All of them. Regularly.Now, were I a virile young stud that would be one thing, but I'm not. I retired from running a research lab a couple of years ago and my wife and her friends are all in their sixties too, apart from Sam. The idea cropped up after her last Girls Night Out when she had shown them a dirty video we'd made (don't even ask) of us having sweaty sex together, before she realized that, for one reason or another, they were all effectively celibate. She was overwhelmed, by guilt at first for being so insensitive; then by anger at the universe because, as she put it, "Every one of those women is a fucking catch! Why are they alone?"To my wife, the solution was simple. They deserved sex, I liked sex, she was willing to share, so I should just have sex with them. Oddly enough, her biggest problem was convincing me that this wasn't the most ridiculous idea that I had ever heard. As far as I was concerned though, I had two serious and valid objections; The first was that Marie and I had started to drift apart and we were lucky to have realized in time. I was really reluctant to put our marriage at risk again if the sight of me fucking her friends upset her more than she seemed to believe it would; My second problem was the lack of balance in her solution. As I saw it, I would be having sex with her and six other women on a regular basis. She would just have me. Even I didn't think that was fair, so how long, I wondered, would it be before she felt that she was missing out? But I was too insecure to be comfortable with the idea of her with another man and certainly not with six other men. Perhaps that makes her a better person than me, but I was too happy in my marriage to be comfortable risking it for the sake of this flaky idea.Anyway, her best friend Angie is something of a genius and she just saw the whole affair as a mathematical problem. If the women were prepared to engage in girl on girl sex, then as long as they visited us in pairs, Marie and I could have sex with one each and then swap; and we would both be being unfaithful with exactly the same people with no additional cocks being involved. Obviously alcohol was involved in coming up with this bizarre idea, but oddly enough, the girl on girl, and boy on girl concept seemed to work when trailed by the three of us that night; and Sunday, and last Friday; And Saturday morning.

Never Be Someone's Maybe: Choose Yourself FirstIn this episode, I dive into the transformative power of fully choosing and loving yourself. I emphasize that once you make a conscious decision to prioritize yourself, everything misaligned will naturally fall away. I share personal anecdotes about my past relationships and how being someone's 'maybe' drained my self-worth and confidence. I explain that the uncertain 'maybe' energy in relationships kept me stuck and blocked me from receiving life's blessings. By choosing myself first and stepping into my power, I was able to manifest a more abundant and fulfilling life. This episode underscores the importance of self-worth, certainty, and alignment in attracting the right people and opportunities into your life.00:00 Choosing Yourself: The Power of Self-Love00:40 The Pain of 'Maybe' Relationships02:04 Realizing Self-Worth in Relationships05:08 Breaking Free from Toxic Cycles09:27 The Journey to Self-Healing20:08 Living in the Fourth Dimension22:35 Navigating New Relationships with Self-Worth27:38 Choosing Yourself and Eliminating 'Maybe' Energy28:29 Personal Anecdote: The Equality Debate29:25 The Impact of 'Maybe' Frequency on Relationships35:41 Manifesting Through Alignment and Certainty44:00 The Power of Making Clear Decisions50:05 Final Thoughts and Community Engagement

Sex workers describe their very first day on the job NSFW - r/nsfw Podcast - Reddit NSFW StoriesEvery job has a first day — and that includes sex work.It's not like what you see in the movies (though sometimes you may find some elements of Hollywood in there), and it's not all pretty, but it can be interesting and, sometimes, even a little funny.According to prostitutes, erotic masseuses, and other sex workers on Reddit, here's what that very first day on the job is like."I started working because I'd gotten a few propositions through a dating website. I was studying med at the time and I was short on money. So one time, this guy made me what seemed like a lucrative offer and I agreed... A week or two later, I drove over to his apartment. I was petrified, but I needed the money so I rang the doorbell. It was a lovely apartment, and he paid upfront. He was nice enough. He asked me to do some things that I didn't want to do, so I said, 'Maybe not this time.' Kept an eye on the time (via the helpful clock radio next to the bed) and thankfully he finished on time. Had a shower, bit of a chat afterwards, and then he kissed me goodbye on the cheek.""I drank a heap of wine before I went to the agency. This was about 2.5 years ago when the industry was booming. I did booking after booking and went home with a massive wad of cash. I didn't think about it too much. I just loved the rush of being booked and making so much money. The industry is dead over here now and I have no idea why.""My first night, I was ridiculously nervous. I went to an upscale hotel, nervously walked through the lobby, hoping I looked like I belonged there, and not like what I was really there for. I was nervous the whole elevator ride up. I walk to his room, lightly knock on the door. He opens the door, says (for the story's sake, we will use the name Sarah) 'Hi, Sarah?' and like an idiot I reply with my real name. We laughed it off. It was quick, 10 minutes. He was polite and clean. In the area for business. I ended up seeing him a few more times over the years, always very nice. Tipped on top of the hourly rate, which was always appreciated and made me choose to see him over other clients in the future.""I was a different type of sex worker, a pro Domme. My first pro session was terrible! He was a good client, however anything bad that could have happened did happen... Including cracking his rib during a trample session (very rare when everything is done correctly). However I never had an issue after that first session, and ended up with quite a few wonderful regulars.""I'm a straight male escort and... for my first booking, I received an email from a girl that basically went as follows: 'Hi, I'd like to book you as a birthday present for my friend's 24th surprise party.' ... I turned up early to help these girls prepare the surprise and they're all insanely attractive. Out-of-my-league attractive. The girl who booked me then drops this bombshell on me: 'Oh, by the way, all of us are either escorts or strippers.' Uh oh, I'm in way over my head...""The guy paid me $60/hour for three hours. He smoked a few bowls, talked about jazz, and then very creepily went on and on about my boobs. I jerked him for like 30 minutes with this horrible rose-scented lotion, blew him, and eventually we had sex. I was impressed he could get it up with how high he was and figured he must be on something else. That's mostly what I was thinking about the whole time.""I was 22, just graduated with a BA in a major that would make me no money... I posted on Craigslist ($400 an hour; I had no clue about rates and still don't, but from this thread it seems high) and met a man the next night at his house for an agreed-upon 30 minutes. We sat on the couch and talked a little bit. He ran a small business, divorced, overweight, 40s... I liked him, so I kept going until he finished -- maybe another 20 minutes? I didn't charge him for the extra. I didn't enjoy it as much as I would with a regular partner, but it wasn't bad.""He was in his 40s, from another town, and offered me $900 for the night. When the night came along, he booked a hotel, and I went over there some time that evening. I was so nervous, I could barely speak a word when I got there. He was an average-looking guy. I wasn't attracted to him but it didn't cross my mind that it mattered. I was still about to have sex with someone I technically just met, and for money... After that, we just went to sleep and I left in the morning."Sex workers describe their very first day on the job NSFWr/nsfw Podcast - Reddit NSFW StoriesSex workers describe their very first day on the job NSFW - r/nsfw Podcast - Reddit NSFW StoriesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-wives-and-girlfriends-stories-2025-true-cheating-stories-podcast--5689182/support.

Darren Criss is an Emmy-winning actor, but deep down he's a musical theater nerd. Which is why he's so proud to be part of this year's Tony-nominated musical Maybe Happy Ending. "Everybody involved in [Broadway], we all work within a 10-some-odd block radius, and it is really like a campus celebration." For Criss, who plays Oliver, a robot in futuristic Seoul in love with another robot, Claire (played by Helen J. Shen), it's "nothing short of a miracle." "You kind of hope for this your whole life." After picking up 10 Tony nominations, including Criss' for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, it's clear countless others did too. "I hope it runs for many moons in other countries and in other dimensions." Part of what makes the show unique is its path to Broadway. "Every step along the way, it has been an exponential groundswell of positive response, because everything is just earnest ideas believed in by earnest people." And it's been a benchmark for diversity and Asian stories on Broadway. "I always like to say that the victory is in the conversation."

I'm welcoming the journalist and writer John Harris back to the pod today, this time for a special bonus episode on his book 'Maybe I'm Amazed -  A Story of Love and Connection in Ten Songs'. When John's son James was born, and three years later diagnosed with autism, music became a source of precious connection and endless wonder for both of them. James connected with so much music, but one of his strongest passions was The Beatles. As a Beatle obsessive himself, John talks about his own relationship with the band and tells us how watching his son discover and explore The Beatles became a source of inspiration for them both.

In this episode of "Shark Theory," hosted by Baylor Barbee, listeners are introduced to a powerful lesson in perseverance and creative problem-solving inspired by a persistent squirrel. This intriguing metaphor serves as a springboard for discussing the challenges people face when pursuing their goals. The episode opens with Baylor observing a squirrel attempting to reach a bird feeder, confronting slick poles as obstacles. When traditional approaches fail, the squirrel finds an unconventional way to succeed, showcasing the essence of thinking outside the box. Throughout the discussion, Baylor delves into the themes of overcoming obstacles and finding new routes to achieve success. Using the squirrel's determination as a metaphor, he encourages listeners to identify the "poles" in their lives—those seemingly insurmountable obstacles standing between them and their goals. He challenges conventional thinking and advocates for alternate paths, or "trees," that despite appearing daunting, offer a viable route to success. Baylor's vivid storytelling emphasizes the importance of not giving up, even when the path forward seems difficult or unclear. The episode resonates with those who may struggle with reaching their aspirations, inviting them to consider broader perspectives and embrace the uncertainties of new attempts. Key Takeaways: Identify Personal Obstacles: Understand the barriers impeding your progress toward goals, akin to the squirrel's challenge with the bird feeder pole. Seek Alternate Paths: Embrace new perspectives and strategies, represented by the "tree," to navigate challenges successfully. Power of Resilience: Maintain determination even when traditional methods fail, and be willing to explore unconventional solutions. Commitment Over Convenience: True success requires commitment beyond convenience, and the willingness to take risks is crucial. Value of Self-Belief: Trust in your abilities to take leaps of faith, betting on yourself even when the outcome is uncertain. Notable Quotes: "We see a goal, something that we really want... every time we get to a certain point, we keep sliding back down." "The difference between living in a land of mediocrity and being like the squirrel is most people say, 'Maybe it's just not for me,' and they quit." "Perhaps you need to look at your life and... realize, look, the approach... is a little bit tougher. It's not an easy road." "Do I care about instant success, or do I care about lasting success?" "This goal means so much to me that I'm willing to do what it takes."

When Suzanne's son, Lorenzo, was a little boy, he told his family that when he grew up, he would be a police officer. He even drew a picture of himself as a policeman. After finishing high school, he instead studied computers and looked to follow in his dad's footsteps. Then, one day, when Lorenzo was in his mid-twenties, he surprised his mom with a phone call. 'Mama Bear,' he said, 'I need to talk to you.' Suzanne responded by asking if she should be worried. 'Maybe a little bit, Mama Bear,' he replied, but it's OK.' Lorenzo shared that he couldn't work behind a desk any longer. He needed to help people and become a police officer. Although Suzanne was a little worried, she was also so proud of her son. She knew that he would be an amazing addition to the police force. He loved helping others. in his soul, Suzanne said that he was born to be a lover of people. She says that no one ever loved her as deeply as Lorenzo did. It was so fun to talk to her about their amazing relationship and about how, above all else, Lorenzo wanted to take care of his 'Mama Bear.' It reminded me a little bit about Andy, his big, loving heart, and the way he always insisted that he 'loved me more' despite my protests. Shortly after Lorenzo realized his dream of becoming a police officer, however, he suffered a tragic accident when he was cleaning his gun. His gun discharged and he shot an artery in his leg. Although he was able to call for help, it was too late. Amid this tragedy, Suzanne saw that Lorenzo's community loved him just as much as he loved them. Officers stood at attention at every freeway exit in southern California as the car carrying his body drove by. Thousands honored her sweet, loving Lorenzo. As we talked, I began to wonder if our two 'boys' somehow brought us together. I imagine a proud Andy telling everyone in heaven about his mom and her podcast, and Lorenzo thinking the podcast might be a good idea for his 'Mama Bear' to help her heal. When Suzanne emailed me, she wrote that I was her 'angel' who 'saved' her, but I'm pretty sure the 'angel' was actually Lorenzo setting things in motion.

[SEGMENT 1-1] Leftist revelations 1   One election changed everything. It's not about parties, i.e. Democrat or Republican. It's about truth versus lies, pragmatism versus fanaticism. Harris had no real shot of winning and her political career is over, though she pretends it's not. Much has changed in this one election, and the world tilted “right” on its axis. We left Bizarro World and are now back to facing reality. Imagine the other timeline. Kamala Harris as president. What are we discussing? Probably a new federal agency dedicated to deciphering her speeches. She'd call it the “Circular Logic Bureau.” “We must, together, work together to do the work of working together.” Kamala 2024: Because coherence is so last century. If you think Biden had a cabinet of freaks and pikers, imagine what Harris would have offered up. Imagine international diplomacy under her. China would roll their eyes while she explains how “clocks and time zones are, like, very important to global relations.”  [SEGMENT 1-2] Leftist revelations 2   The Changing of the GuardOn the Democratic side, the old guard is falling—literally. Pelosi just broke her hip, and let's face it, that's Nature's way of saying, “You've overstayed your welcome, Nancy.” Chuck Schumer's days are numbered, too. At this point, he's just a placeholder for the next generation of dysfunction. The Democrats are so desperate they're floating AOC for leadership. Yes, AOC—because nothing screams stability like someone who thought the world would end in 12 years… eight years ago.On RINOs and Republican RealignmentNot even Mitch McConnell can escape the purge. McConnell's “working from home” is basically a polite way of saying, “Don't expect me back.” Trump doesn't need his brand of turtle-paced compliance anymore. This time around, it's the America First GOP or bust.Media MeltdownThe media is in full panic mode. George Stephanopoulos is reportedly in hiding—too embarrassed to admit he once gloated about a Trump downfall that never came. Jake Tapper? He's stuck in existential dread over Trump's lawsuits. The same Jake who once chuckled at the phrase “enemy of the people” is now Googling “defamation law for dummies.” Even Sonny Hostin had a rare moment of honesty, admitting Democrats are “out of touch.” Well, congratulations, Sonny—you've reached the starting line of self-awareness.The Biden Administration's “Greatest Hits”Let's talk about Biden. Or, as I like to call him, the Commander-in-Zzz. His administration has been the political equivalent of a retirement home talent show. Biden didn't just check out mentally; he forgot to leave the hotel key. Blinken called Afghanistan a “stain” on their record. A stain? That's like saying the Titanic had a “small dent.” And Jill Biden? She's retiring. No we retired her First Lady duties. Or maybe she's retiring from “supportive spouse” to become Joe's “caretaker.”  [SEGMENT 1-3] Leftist revelations 3 I talked yesterday about people saying Trump changed. Lie. Trump didn't change. He's the same guy from 2016. Brash, bold, awkward in his delivery of information, pompous, direct, and so on. He's just letting the world catch up to him. He's showing America what leadership looks like: bold, unapologetic, and effective. And that terrifies the Left because deep down, they know they can't compete. Business Leaders Kissing the RingNow, let's talk about the pivot. Suddenly, all the folks who sabotaged Trump in 2020 are lining up to pay homage. Jeff Bezos shows up, calling him a “changed man.” Oh, Jeff, you've changed too. You went from “we don't need Trump” to “please don't increase shipping regulations.”America's Moment of ClarityThis election feels like 9-12. Remember the day after 9-11? When America came together, albeit briefly? That's us now, taking a collective breath after four years of Leftist chaos. We've had metaphorical planes flown into our economy, borders, and safety. And for once, both sides are relieved to see an adult back in the room. But here's the thing—it won't last. Democrats will regroup, and the media will sharpen their knives. That's why this moment is so critical. Trump has four years to not just fix what's broken but to solidify a movement that outlives his presidency.       Sonny Hoskins revelation   What step has The Views' Sunny Hostins reached, because her recent comments are out of character. As her friends might say, “Who are you and what have you done with Sunny?” MSNBC explains comments made by Hostin, calling the timing “a rare moment”: In a rare moment of self-reflection, Hostin, who had long resisted critiquing the Democrats, said she's now 'rethinking my thinking' as Donald Trump's dominant support among the working class becomes impossible to ignore. 'Maybe it's time for the Democrats to do a little bit of this postmortem,' Hostin declared, acknowledging how the party had failed to connect with the very people it claims to represent. 'The Democratic Party has always been the party of the working class. If you look at all the policies, they're for the people.' Yet, despite their promises and intentions, she admitted, 'the messaging didn't resonate.'  [SEGMENT 1-4] Leftist revelations 4 [X] SB – Ted Cruz on men in women's sports Trump's ability to sweep the popular vote among working-class voters shattered assumptions about political loyalty, forcing even staunch Democrats like Hostin to reckon with reality.  While her co-hosts debated what drove Trump's success, Hostin's thoughts stood out as a sobering critique of a party she once defended without hesitation. I repeat, a rare moment of self-reflection. And perhaps a short meeting with legal? After all, Hostin has had to do multiple public mea culpas after she or one of the other shrews on The View made defamatory comments. And on the heals of ABC's Stephanopoulos woes, one can't be too careful. Apparently Hostin revealed that she grew up poor.

[SEGMENT 1-1] Leftist revelations 1   One election changed everything. It's not about parties, i.e. Democrat or Republican. It's about truth versus lies, pragmatism versus fanaticism. Harris had no real shot of winning and her political career is over, though she pretends it's not. Much has changed in this one election, and the world tilted “right” on its axis. We left Bizarro World and are now back to facing reality. Imagine the other timeline. Kamala Harris as president. What are we discussing? Probably a new federal agency dedicated to deciphering her speeches. She'd call it the “Circular Logic Bureau.” “We must, together, work together to do the work of working together.” Kamala 2024: Because coherence is so last century. If you think Biden had a cabinet of freaks and pikers, imagine what Harris would have offered up. Imagine international diplomacy under her. China would roll their eyes while she explains how “clocks and time zones are, like, very important to global relations.”  [SEGMENT 1-2] Leftist revelations 2   The Changing of the GuardOn the Democratic side, the old guard is falling—literally. Pelosi just broke her hip, and let's face it, that's Nature's way of saying, “You've overstayed your welcome, Nancy.” Chuck Schumer's days are numbered, too. At this point, he's just a placeholder for the next generation of dysfunction. The Democrats are so desperate they're floating AOC for leadership. Yes, AOC—because nothing screams stability like someone who thought the world would end in 12 years… eight years ago.On RINOs and Republican RealignmentNot even Mitch McConnell can escape the purge. McConnell's “working from home” is basically a polite way of saying, “Don't expect me back.” Trump doesn't need his brand of turtle-paced compliance anymore. This time around, it's the America First GOP or bust.Media MeltdownThe media is in full panic mode. George Stephanopoulos is reportedly in hiding—too embarrassed to admit he once gloated about a Trump downfall that never came. Jake Tapper? He's stuck in existential dread over Trump's lawsuits. The same Jake who once chuckled at the phrase “enemy of the people” is now Googling “defamation law for dummies.” Even Sonny Hostin had a rare moment of honesty, admitting Democrats are “out of touch.” Well, congratulations, Sonny—you've reached the starting line of self-awareness.The Biden Administration's “Greatest Hits”Let's talk about Biden. Or, as I like to call him, the Commander-in-Zzz. His administration has been the political equivalent of a retirement home talent show. Biden didn't just check out mentally; he forgot to leave the hotel key. Blinken called Afghanistan a “stain” on their record. A stain? That's like saying the Titanic had a “small dent.” And Jill Biden? She's retiring. No we retired her First Lady duties. Or maybe she's retiring from “supportive spouse” to become Joe's “caretaker.”  [SEGMENT 1-3] Leftist revelations 3 I talked yesterday about people saying Trump changed. Lie. Trump didn't change. He's the same guy from 2016. Brash, bold, awkward in his delivery of information, pompous, direct, and so on. He's just letting the world catch up to him. He's showing America what leadership looks like: bold, unapologetic, and effective. And that terrifies the Left because deep down, they know they can't compete. Business Leaders Kissing the RingNow, let's talk about the pivot. Suddenly, all the folks who sabotaged Trump in 2020 are lining up to pay homage. Jeff Bezos shows up, calling him a “changed man.” Oh, Jeff, you've changed too. You went from “we don't need Trump” to “please don't increase shipping regulations.”America's Moment of ClarityThis election feels like 9-12. Remember the day after 9-11? When America came together, albeit briefly? That's us now, taking a collective breath after four years of Leftist chaos. We've had metaphorical planes flown into our economy, borders, and safety. And for once, both sides are relieved to see an adult back in the room. But here's the thing—it won't last. Democrats will regroup, and the media will sharpen their knives. That's why this moment is so critical. Trump has four years to not just fix what's broken but to solidify a movement that outlives his presidency.       Sonny Hoskins revelation   What step has The Views' Sunny Hostins reached, because her recent comments are out of character. As her friends might say, “Who are you and what have you done with Sunny?” MSNBC explains comments made by Hostin, calling the timing “a rare moment”: In a rare moment of self-reflection, Hostin, who had long resisted critiquing the Democrats, said she's now 'rethinking my thinking' as Donald Trump's dominant support among the working class becomes impossible to ignore. 'Maybe it's time for the Democrats to do a little bit of this postmortem,' Hostin declared, acknowledging how the party had failed to connect with the very people it claims to represent. 'The Democratic Party has always been the party of the working class. If you look at all the policies, they're for the people.' Yet, despite their promises and intentions, she admitted, 'the messaging didn't resonate.'  [SEGMENT 1-4] Leftist revelations 4 [X] SB – Ted Cruz on men in women's sports Trump's ability to sweep the popular vote among working-class voters shattered assumptions about political loyalty, forcing even staunch Democrats like Hostin to reckon with reality.  While her co-hosts debated what drove Trump's success, Hostin's thoughts stood out as a sobering critique of a party she once defended without hesitation. I repeat, a rare moment of self-reflection. And perhaps a short meeting with legal? After all, Hostin has had to do multiple public mea culpas after she or one of the other shrews on The View made defamatory comments. And on the heals of ABC's Stephanopoulos woes, one can't be too careful. Apparently Hostin revealed that she grew up poor. Then she admitted that perhaps the Democratic Party has become a bit detached.

'It's [that] they know big corporations take advantage of cheap labor while they're struggling to make ends meet.' While Hostin firmly pushed back against the idea that Republicans have become the party of the working class, she did concede that Democrats have missed critical opportunities to listen to the very people they claim to represent. 'I don't think the Republican Party is the party of the working class,' she insisted, but acknowledged that Trump's narrative, however Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Tucker Carlson unplugged says exactly what patriotic Americans feel: We want our old country back, and wanting that doesn't make us radical. Senator John Kennedy tears down FEMA's disastrous response to Hurricane Helene and the "too close to call" polling commentary will apparently be with us for a while. CNN's data guru tries to explain how the polls MAY BE really, really, really off... but that it's totally normal and okay if they are. Don't miss JD Vance's expert class explanation to a question about why black voters should vote for Trump.

People throw around the word “calling” in church. But how are you supposed to find yours? Knowing when God is actually calling you to do something in your life is often a lot more complicated to figure out than we'd want it to be.
