Witnesses from all parts of the world spanning several decades have reported sightings of mysterious phenomena in our skies. Currently, these phenomena are being investigated by the U.S. Department of Defense, which formally refers to them as unidentified anomalous phenomena. What are these objects, what are their origins, and could some of the mysterious sightings point to the existence of secretive military technologies?  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, new information has come to light about startling claims that aired recently on The Shawn Ryan Podcast involving alleged communications received from Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger. The FBI has now confirmed the authenticity of the email and its author, who claimed to have had access to an unacknowledged special access program involving UAP. Following our update on the situation, we shift our attention to mysterious sightings that have been submitted to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, including a remarkable observation of a large, silent triangular object over Iraq by a former member of the Armed Services. Could some of the UAP observed in our skies involve secretive U.S. government capabilities, not unlike those discussed in the controversial Livelsberger email?  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting? Please consider reporting your sighting to the UAP Sightings Reporting System, a public resource for information about sightings of aerial phenomena.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. This morning, a “final round” of Gaza truce talks was due to start in Qatar. According to AFP, today’s meetings “are aimed at finalizing the remaining details of the deal,” with the heads of Israel’s intelligence agencies, the Middle East envoys for the incoming and outgoing US administrations, and Qatar’s prime minister present. Mediators are to meet separately with Hamas officials, the source says. Fabian explains what he knows so far about security arrangements that may be put in place in Gaza in the event of a ceasefire. Five Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed and 10 were wounded in an explosion in northern Gaza on Monday, the military said, raising Israel’s toll in over 15 months of fighting in the Strip to 407. The slain troops were all serving with the Nahal Brigade’s Reconnaissance Unit. On Saturday, four soldiers were killed and six were wounded during fighting, also in the northern Gaza Strip. We hear initial findings about these two terrible incidents. The IDF said Monday it had struck several Hezbollah sites in Lebanon overnight, saying the targets violated the terms of the ceasefire agreement. It said it did so after the international ceasefire monitoring mechanism failed to address them, despite being advised on the matter. This is not the first time -- and it's likely not the last, says Fabian. Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched ballistic missiles within hours of each other on Monday evening and early Tuesday morning, triggering sirens that sent hundreds of thousands of Israelis rushing into shelters. This comes after a Friday night retaliatory attack by the Israeli Air Force against Houthi targets in Yemen. Fabian shares why the Houthis may not yet be deterred. IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Amir Baram on Friday notified his commander, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, that he would leave his role as planned at the end of February. Is it because he wants Halevi's job instead? For news updates, please check out The Times of Israel’s ongoing live blog. Discussed articles include: Israeli officials: Deal will see 33 hostages freed in 1st stage, most of them alive Five soldiers killed, 10 wounded in explosion in northern Gaza, IDF says IDF announces 4 soldiers killed, 6 wounded during fighting in northern Gaza IDF says it hit Hezbollah sites after ceasefire monitors failed to address threats For second time in hours, Houthi missile at Israel triggers cross-country sirens Couple, out for walk after overnight sirens, find chunk of Houthi missile on their roof 20 Israeli jets attack two ports and a power plant used by Houthis in Yemen IDF deputy chief of staff requests to step down, indicates he hopes to succeed Halevi Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton dive into the challenges of navigating promotions (Amazon Affiliate) in the world of first responders. Moving up the ranks often comes with increased responsibility, new dynamics with peers, and the pressure to lead effectively. While promotions are a significant milestone, they can also bring a sense of disconnect from who you are and the relationships you've built along the way. You'll learn how to embrace leadership roles while staying true to your identity and maintaining meaningful connections with your team. This episode offers five practical strategies to help you thrive in your new position without losing sight of who you are. The Challenges of Promotions in First Responder Roles: Understand how moving into leadership positions can create identity shifts and impact relationships with peers. Five Practical Ways to Stay Grounded While Embracing Leadership: 1. Set Clear Intentions for Your Leadership Style: Example: Reflect on what kind of leader you want to be—one who listens, collaborates, and remains approachable. Why It's Beneficial: Establishing your leadership values helps you stay aligned with your authentic self as you navigate new responsibilities. 2. Maintain Open Communication with Peers: Example: Regularly check in with colleagues to ensure they feel heard and valued, even as your role shifts. Why It's Beneficial: Keeps your relationships intact and fosters mutual respect, preventing feelings of disconnect. 3. Avoid the "Us vs. Them" Mentality: Example: Resist the temptation to separate yourself from the team by embracing your new title too rigidly. Why It's Beneficial: Reinforces camaraderie and ensures that your team sees you as part of the group, not just as an authority figure. 4. Prioritize Continuous Self-Reflection: Example: Take time to evaluate your actions and decisions, ensuring they align with your personal and professional values. Why It's Beneficial: Keeps you grounded and helps you identify areas where you might unintentionally drift from your true self. 5. Seek Mentorship and Feedback: Example: Find a trusted mentor who has successfully navigated a similar promotion, and encourage honest feedback from peers and subordinates. Why It's Beneficial: Provides perspective, guidance, and accountability as you grow into your leadership role. How to Balance Professional Growth with Personal Integrity: Learn how to embrace your new responsibilities without feeling pressured to conform to leadership stereotypes that don't align with your values. Why Staying Connected with Your Team Matters: Discover the importance of maintaining trust and respect with your peers to foster a collaborative and supportive environment. Steps to Build Confidence in Your Leadership Role: Explore ways to develop self-assurance in your new position while staying authentic and approachable. Why This Matters: Promotions are an incredible achievement, but they can also feel overwhelming if you lose sight of your identity. By staying true to yourself and maintaining strong relationships with your team, you can embrace leadership with confidence and authenticity.

There is almost a cottage industry in appreciating the decades-long shortfall in America's maritime industrial base for shipbuilding and repair.After more than a decade of self-delusion in labeling the People's Republic of China (PRC) as merely a ‘Pacing Challenge', people are increasingly waking up to the fact that the PRC has overtaken the USA in the maritime arena—a domain in which we were globally unchallenged since the end of WWII.When considering both its vast commercial capacity and its development of the world's largest navy, it is a fair argument to make that the maritime challenge posed by the PRC now eclipses the threat posed by the Soviet Union at its peak.With time being short, are there solutions? There are, as outlined by our guests for today's Midrats, Michael Roberts & Bryan Clark and their report Shoring Up the Foundation: Affordable Approaches to Improve US and Allied Shipbuilding and Ship Repair from The Hudson Institute.Mike Roberts joined the Hudson Institute beginning in 2022. Before then Mike was the general counsel and a senior leader with Crowley Maritime, a top American shipping company, and president of the American Maritime Partnership. His focus is on commercial shipping and shipbuilding industries, and specifically, how fundamental changes in US maritime policies are needed to compete with China.Bryan Clark is a senior fellow and director of the Center for Defense Concepts and Technology at Hudson Institute. He studies naval operations, cyber and electromagnetic warfare, autonomous systems, military competitions, and wargaming. He is a retired enlisted and officer submariner and his last job in the Navy was as Commander's Action Group Director for the CNO.SummaryThis conversation delves into the pressing challenges facing the U.S. maritime industry, particularly the shipbuilding sector, in light of China's overwhelming shipbuilding capacity. The discussion highlights the need for affordable solutions, legislative support, and workforce development to revitalize the U.S. maritime industrial base. The guests, Mike Roberts and Bryan Clark, present their report from the Hudson Institute, which outlines actionable policies to enhance U.S. and allied shipping and ship repair capabilities. They emphasize the importance of a consistent demand signal from the government to stabilize the industry and attract skilled workers. The conversation delves into the challenges faced by the US Navy in maintaining maritime readiness and resilience in the face of potential conflicts, particularly with China. It discusses the need for a robust US-flagged shipping fleet, the implications of supply chain vulnerabilities, and the importance of leveraging allied shipbuilding capacities. The speakers emphasize the necessity of innovative shipbuilding strategies, improved maintenance practices, and a shift in mindset to prepare for future military operations effectively.TakeawaysThe U.S. maritime industrial base faces significant challenges.China's shipbuilding capacity far exceeds that of the U.S.Affordable solutions are necessary for immediate impact.Legislative support is crucial for revitalizing shipbuilding.Workforce development is essential for the shipbuilding industry.The Ships for America Act aims to increase U.S. flag fleet.Educational benefits can attract skilled workers to shipyards.A consistent demand signal is vital for industry stability.Shipbuilding is a low-margin business requiring government support.Investment in workforce training is critical for future success. The US needs a sufficient number of ships to support major combat operations overseas.China's control over global shipping assets poses a significant risk to US supply chains.The US Navy's reliance on foreign-flagged ships may not be viable in wartime.Innovative shipbuilding practices, including AI, can enhance Navy capabilities.Improving ship repair readiness is crucial for fleet capacity by 2027.The Navy must adapt its technical standards to facilitate faster shipbuilding.Allied shipbuilding capacities can be leveraged to enhance US naval strength.A consistent demand signal is necessary for ship repair yards to thrive.The Navy's public shipyards require significant infrastructure upgrades.A cultural shift within the Navy is essential to address current challenges.Sound Bites"China has 230 times the amount of shipbuilding capacity.""The Navy is far from its readiness goals.""We need to build capacity not just for peace but for war.""We can build uncrewed vessels in many different places.""We have to change the mindset we've been living with."Chapters00:00: Introduction to Maritime Challenges03:11: The Shipbuilding Capacity Gap06:04: Affordable Solutions for Shipbuilding15:05: Legislative Support: Ships for America Act17:29: Workforce Development in Shipbuilding29:24: Long-term Stability in Shipbuilding Industry34:10: Navigating Maritime Challenges and Supply Chain Resilience41:07: Innovations in Shipbuilding and Maintenance Strategies50:31: Leveraging Allied Shipbuilding and Repair Capacities57:59: Preparing for Future Conflicts and Fleet Readiness

Now President Ford wants to full out the troops, but since information flowed a lot slower in 1975 than it does in 2025, the second wave of US Marines was already on site.

At War with Women: Military Humanitarianism and Imperial Feminism in an Era of Permanent War (Cornell University Press, 2023) by Jennifer Greenburg reveals how post-9/11 politics of gender and development have transformed US military power. In the mid-2000s, the US military used development as a weapon as it revived counterinsurgency in Iraq and Afghanistan. The military assembled all-female teams to reach households and wage war through development projects in the battle for "hearts and minds." Despite women technically being banned from ground combat units, the all-female teams were drawn into combat nonetheless. Based on ethnographic fieldwork observing military trainings, this book challenges liberal feminist narratives that justified the Afghanistan War in the name of women's rights and celebrated women's integration into combat as a victory for gender equality. Dr. Jennifer Greenburg critically interrogates a new imperial feminism and its central role in securing US hegemony. Women's incorporation into combat through emotional labor has reinforced gender stereotypes, with counterinsurgency framing female soldiers as global ambassadors for women's rights. This book provides an analysis of US imperialism that keeps the present in tension with the past, clarifying where colonial ideologies of race, gender, and sexuality have resurfaced and how they are changing today. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
