    It is December 28th—that strange gap between Christmas and New Year. Let me ask you a question: How many times have you looked at your phone already today?.It is easy to open an app and see the "highlight reel" of everyone else's life—the matching pajamas, the immaculate tables, and those perfect smiles. This constant scrolling creates a trap of comparison, making you feel like your holiday wasn't enough or that you didn't do enough.This is "digital noise"—a low-level static buzzing in the back of your brain and stealing your joy.In today's session, Martin (Clinical Hypnotherapist) guides you through a powerful Digital Detox Visualization. We won't throw your phone in a river, but we will take your mind to a place where the signal cannot reach you.In this episode, you will:Unplug the Mental Router: Visualize placing your phone face down on a hallway table and pulling the plug on your Wi-Fi router to stop the frantic blinking lights.Escape to the Wild: Step out of your back door and into an ancient, deep forest where the trees reach up like pillars of a cathedral.Experience Biophilic Sound: Learn how natural sounds—like the rustle of wind and the snap of a twig—soothe the brain instantly.Watch the Signal Drop: Visualize the signal bars on your internal phone dropping from three, to two, to one, until you have "no service" and are completely free.Find What is Real: Realize that pixels on a screen are not real, but the breath in your lungs and the ground beneath your feet are.Your life, with all its messiness and imperfections, is real and valid. You do not need to perform for an audience; you just need to be.A Note from Martin: "Discard those negative anchors that have ever held you back, embrace your true potential.".Connect & Support: If this escape helped you find peace, please subscribe to Calming Anxiety.Next Step: When you open your eyes, try not to reach for the screen immediately—look at something real, like the sky or your hands.Smile often, and be kind.

    Verdict with Ted Cruz
    It's a Wel-fraud Wonderland, Industrial-Scale Theft in Minnesota & GDP Boom vs. Media Gloom Week In Review

    Verdict with Ted Cruz

    1. Welfare System Fraud and Structural Issues Based on an op-ed by Phil Gramm and John Early in The Wall Street Journal titled “The Biggest Fraud in Welfare”. Key points: U.S. welfare spending has skyrocketed 765% since the mid-1970s, now totaling $1.4 trillion annually. If distributed evenly among the 19.8 million families classified as poor, each would receive $71,000 per year. The government fails to count non-cash benefits (Medicaid, housing subsidies, food stamps) as income, creating a distorted picture of poverty. Example: A single parent earning $11,000 annually can receive benefits worth $53,128, bringing total resources to $64,128, well above the poverty threshold. Criticism of the system: It traps people in dependency instead of promoting self-sufficiency, contrasting with Trump-era welfare reform that moved 7 million people off food stamps into the workforce. 2. Massive Fraud in Minnesota’s Medicaid and Welfare Programs Federal prosecutors allege up to $9 billion in fraud since 2018, possibly 50% of the $18 billion spent on 14 programs. Fraud described as “industrial scale”, involving fake companies and individuals exploiting housing and autism assistance programs. Some funds allegedly funneled to Al Shabab, a Somali terrorist organization. Criticism of Minnesota’s Democratic leadership for lack of oversight and alleged vote-buying incentives. Prediction: Similar fraud likely exists in California, New York, and Illinois. Media accused of downplaying the scandal; local CBS reports highlighted the severity. 3. Strong U.S. Economic Performance Under Trump Latest GDP report shows 4.3% growth in Q3, the strongest in two years, beating expectations of 3.2%. Growth driven by consumer spending, healthcare, tech, and AI-related investments. Inflation reportedly down to 1.6%, signaling economic stability. Commentary contrasts media narratives predicting economic collapse with reality of strong holiday spending and trade policy success. Trump’s supply-side policies (tax cuts, deregulation) and trade strategies credited for economic boom. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

    The NBA loves a fairytale ending — legends riding off into the sunset with one last ring. But the reality is harsher: aging championship stars can become a “poison pill” for franchises, locking teams into oversized salaries, outdated roster-building, and stalled player development.In this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher breaks down why it's so difficult to break up a title-winning core — and why the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are the latest examples of teams paying the price for loyalty while still selling championship expectations.Ric also explains why the best organizations make the cold-blooded pivot before the clock strikes midnight, the role fans and media play in keeping “one more run” alive, and how teams end up stuck when the window closes but the payroll doesn't.00:00:35 – Where to find Ric (FS1/Fox Sports Radio) + new book on being coachable 00:01:18 – Holiday delay + why Christmas Day set up this episode 00:01:49 – The “poison pill” problem: aging champions and marquee teams 00:02:14 – Why breaking up a championship core is so hard 00:03:11 – History lesson: teams that waited too long to turn the page 00:03:38 – Loyalty is fine… if you're honest about expectations 00:05:02 – The hidden cost: money, roles, roster, coaching, and marketing built around stars 00:06:02 – Why “contend + develop” usually doesn't work (Warriors example) 00:06:48 – What real transition looks like (Wade → LeBron, Duncan → Kawhi) 00:07:52 – Fans, connection, and the business of keeping “the guy” 00:09:45 – Media vs fan reality: why we get it twisted about “upgrades” 00:11:31 – Booker/Suns as the blueprint for “glimmer of hope” economics 00:15:26 – The “glimmer” sidebar + players who sell hope without June basketball 00:16:53 – Why it's different when the star actually won a ring 00:17:41 – The ruthless move: trade the star before midnight 00:18:42 – Recent examples of teams doubling down on aging stars 00:19:12 – Bill Walsh trading Joe Montana: the blueprint 00:20:19 – Which current GMs will actually make the hard pivot? 00:21:52 – Teams that missed the window: Lakers/Warriors/Clippers (and why it matters now) 00:22:39 – Lakers roster-building problem around Luka + payroll realities 00:23:20 – Warriors payroll trap: Steph/Jimmy/Draymond math 00:25:17 – Why re-signing Draymond locked in the old identity 00:25:50 – Klay nostalgia vs reality + the real mistake 00:26:22 – Wrap-up + teaser on tanking/competition solutions next episodeFollow Ric Bucher: X / Instagram / Threads / Bluesky: @RicBucher #NBA #Lakers #Warriors #LeBronJames #StephenCurry #JimmyButler #DraymondGreen #NBATalk #NBAAnalysis #OnTheBall #RicBucher #UnitedWeCastSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

    Not all “civil” behavior is harmless. Some actions, cloaked in sophistication or authority, can be far more destructive than overtly crude ones. From Donald Trump's press interactions to the actions of journalists, university leaders, and political officials, Victor Davis Hanson distinguishes between crass and refined crudity—showing how the latter misleads the public under the guise of authority or expertise—on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “No need to call Jasmine Crockett a low-IQ person or a reporter dumb or stupid or fatty. And I would call that crass crudity. And it's something that Trump does and probably should not do, and people have probably reminded him of that. But there's another type of crudity, I would call that crudity refined crudity. Crass crudity is openly overt, transparent, and condemned. But it's also rhetorical. It doesn't affect policies. It's the ways one reacts to criticism in Trump's case. But what is refined crudity? I wanna tell you, give you some examples, very different examples of what I would call refined crudity.” (0:00) Introduction (0:20) Trump's Crass Crudity (1:13) Refined Crudity in Media (2:16) Refined Crudity in Academia (3:59) Refined Crudity in Law and Politics (5:12) Refined Crudity in Military Leadership (8:04) Conclusion We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.

Hopefully, most Victims of Racism are not required to work the plantation for White Jesus's birthday. After avoiding or briefly attending tacky holiday functions, we'll get back to the business of Producing Justice. Gus was especially intrigued by the case of Janique Sanders, a black female who was terminated from her position at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. She alleges that she was fired in response to her recorded answer to a query about "DEI" at the school. Sanders reportedly told a member of "Accuracy in Media" that the university has reconfigured their "DEI" policy to comply with Pres. Trump's new mandates. The school allegedly investigated this exchange and terminated Sanders' employment. Gus is curious to know if her response violated policy and procedure and if there is a school-mandated position on how employees should respond to questions about the school's DEI position. #NoHolidaysForRacists INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

    In today's episode CesarEspino.com brings to yout a special guest to You Can Overcome Anything! Podcast Show.Alex Crowther is the CEO of Pain Coach Academy, a former global advertising executive, and now a Reiki Master and initiated Shaman who transformed an incurable pain condition (CRPS) into a purpose-driven mission to help others heal. After three decades leading international ad agency organizations, Alex's life changed dramatically when he was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, one of the most painful diseases known to man.

    In this episode of Proud Stutter, Maya talks with tech entrepreneur Kanav Hasija about growing up with a severe stutter in India, being bullied in school, and how changing cities gave him the chance to redefine himself. Kanav shares how facing fear head on through quizzes, speeches, and leadership roles helped shift his relationship with speaking, and how stuttering later shaped the way he communicates as a founder. He walks through his journey from early engineering experiments to building healthcare and construction tech companies, and reflects on how stuttering pushed him to be more precise, patient, and resilient. The conversation also digs into how bullying can make you guarded while also fueling ambition, and how people who stutter often move between structure and creativity. Kanav closes by sharing his current project, a free, game based app designed to help kids who stutter through early intervention, better diagnostics, and accessible technology.-----Big thanks to Proud Stutter's recurring supporters: Jennifer Bolen, Jerry Slaff, Josh Compton, Pablo Meza, Alexandra Mosby, Ingo Helbig, Jonathan Reiss, Jason Smith, Paige McGill, Wayne Engebretson, Swathy Manavalan, and Martha Horrocks.If you can become a monthly donor at $10 or more, we'll give you access to ad-free episodes and bonus Proud Stutter+ content as a token of our thanks!

    I had the grand opportunity to cover the 50th Aniversary of the Toronto International Film Festival.  With animation being one of my favourite topics in the world, I am grateful that I was able to join this epic conversation and now share it with you. :) DIALOGUES: Creative Visions in Animated Feature Films is a specific TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) event/panel where acclaimed directors like Domee Shi (Pixar's Elio), Mamoru Hosoda (Belle, Summer Wars), and Momoko Seto (Dandelion's Odyssey) discuss balancing artistic vision with studio realities, creative authorship, and the future of bold animation, showcasing diverse global perspectives.

    The Bigger Picture Also -On this week's Not All Hood Weekly Drop, Candace Kelley sits down with Dr. Dabenga (American University), author of Lies About Black People, to unpack rising fears around dual citizenship, naturalization, and denaturalization. They discuss claims circulating about policies that could pressure dual citizens to “choose” a nationality, and what that would mean for millions of Black and Brown people, especially families with older relatives and inconsistent historical records. Dr. Dabenga argues this moment fits a broader pattern of escalating enforcement—moving from border messaging to interior targeting—raising concerns about ICE encounters, documentation demands, and “lawless” enforcement behavior. Candace and Dr. Dabenga also break down practical protection steps: don't go anywhere with unidentified agents, ask bystanders to record everything, understand what kinds of warrants are required, and build a family plan for emergencies. They also broaden the conversation to diaspora identity—why people pursue dual citizenship for safety, opportunity, and connection—and how media narratives can shape misunderstandings between African Americans and Africans. This is an urgent, real-world conversation about immigration enforcement, civil rights, due process, and community preparedness—with history, context, and tools you can actually use. Across Netflix, iHeartRadio, Warner Bros., and Paramount, the signal is clear: Media is consolidating quietly, not loudly. Partnerships are the new acquisitions, and acquisitions are increasingly about IP, audience, and infrastructure—not prestige. This week reinforces that the next wave of media power won't come from who makes the most content—but from who controls distribution, data, and direct audience relationships. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America. Infused with pop culture, music, and headlining news, the show addresses the evolution, exhilaration, and triumphs of being rooted in a myriad of versions of Black America.

    Rachel Maddow shares a look at how outrage over government corruption in Bulgaria prompted massive protests and eventually the resignation of the prime minister and his government. And in the United States, for all of Donald Trump's unpopular policies being protested across the country, the self-dealing and corruption that has become his administration's hallmark may ultimately be what leads to Trump's downfall. Julie K. Brown, investigative reporter for the Miami Herald who first exposed the scandal of how the Jeffrey Epstein case was handed, talks with Rachel Maddow about feedback she is receiving from survivors of Epstein's abuse about finding their own names in released documents despite heavy redactions that appear to make a greater priority of protecting the identities and information of people involved with Epstein than to protect his victims as the law instructs.Rep. Jamie Raskin joins to discuss how an ownership change and recent editorial decisions by CBS News is raising concerns that Donald Trump and the billionaires who support him are making progress on building state media.

    12/22/25 - Trump's Approval Ratings: The Media's Narrative vs. Reality

    On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WREC's Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. There are rumors ​that ​the ​media ​and ​the ​Democratic ​Party ​are ​pushing ​that President ​Trump, his approval ratings, and the Republican ​Party are a ​disaster.  It's a lie. Trump enjoys ​a ​50% ​approval ​rating ​with ​a ​net ​approval ​rating ​of ​+9 ​points. This approval will only go higher next year from upcoming policies like no taxes on tips, Social Security, or overtime.  11% of Republicans express dissatisfaction with Trump's performance. A significant portion of this discontent likely stems from his strong support for Israel, alienating an anti-Semitic segment that prioritizes "America only" and includes figures like Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens. Also, Trump announced the construction of major ships, including battleships, which the U.S. hasn't built since the 1990s, to restore the nation's naval force as the most lethal in the world. These ships will be built in America, thereby sustaining American jobs. Later, the opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to join his proposed October 7th commission of inquiry because they seek to oust him and his allies, fearing that transparent findings without evidence of his negligence would hinder their power gains and bolster his position.  Afterward, Trump's self-deportation plan is brilliant. By year's end, illegal immigrants who voluntarily leave receive a $3,000 holiday stipend, assistance to depart, and potential future re-entry, whereas those caught and deported face permanent exclusion. This is cost-effective compared to enforced deportations amid migrants' economic burdens like job loss, higher rents, and home prices for Americans.  We need more self-deportations by illegal aliens.

    We're seeing the same far-right media consolidation in America as during Putin's rise to power. Bari Weiss is the new Roger Ailes, hired to destroy CBS News. The far-right Ellisons are aggressively going after Warner Bros. to build a media monopoly to dumb down more Americans so that we're easier to control.  That's why Andrea spoke at Courier News' Courage & Cowardice event in Washington, DC on December 11. Courier, the team that built the searchable Epstein files database released by Congress, brought together independent journalists and creators who still believe journalism is a public good. The main focus of the conversation, which you can listen to here on Gaslit Nation, was how to build and sustain independent media. Andrea was joined by progressive YouTuber Jack Cocchiarella, Brian Beutler, formerly of Crooked Media and The New Republic who now runs  Off Message; TikTok comedian Meredith Lynch; and in a discussion moderated by veteran editor Mark Jacob, formerly of the Chicago Tribune, to talk about media capitulation and how to fight back. Here's some info on the event.  Luckily, the Media and Democracy Project (MAD) exists and provided us with the following actions you can take:  Make videos highlighting moments of real accountability like celebrating the ABC reporter Mary Bruce who pressed MBS and Trump with tough, substantive questions. Credit your sources clearly and encourage your audience to click through and read the original reporting. Introduce your audience to journalism and media-education initiatives such as States Newsroom, the News Literacy Project, and Rebuild Local News. Synthesize and share this essential explainer from Democracy Forward on the link between local news and democracy: https://democracyfund.org/idea/new-research-explores-connection-between-democracy-and-local-news/ If you're a journalist, whether independent or in a newsroom, regularly lift up the work of your colleagues.  Everyone should keep the conversation of journalism being the bedrock of a democracy front and center. Use your time online wisely: repost, share stories, and boost public-interest journalism whenever you can.  Most importantly, stay connected with MAD.
