These devotions are part of the Follow the Word Bible reading program at St. John Lutheran Church in Cypress, Texas. This year we are reading through the Scriptures together, listening for how God speaks through his Word day by day. I hope you will join me on this journey. Today's readings are 2 Chronicles 7, 1 Kings 9, 2 Chronicles 8, Psalm 143.

Connor and Mike react to the Huskers hosting a regional for the first time since 2008.

In this episode, Mike and Laureen examine the war involving Iran and the debate over America's role in the conflict. They discuss CENTCOM testimony from Admiral Brad Cooper defending Operation Epic Fury as a necessary mission that successfully weakened Iran's ability to threaten U.S. interests and regional neighbors. The conversation also looks at contrasting international media coverage, including a CBC News segment featuring John Ferrari Ret U.S Army, American Enterprise Institute; Justin Logan, Cato Institute; and Mike Crawley, CBC News, questioning whether the conflict is progressing as successfully as officials claim.   The hosts also address rising violence and antisemitism closer to home, focusing on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's controversial actions surrounding Nakba Day commemorations and anti-Israel demonstrations targeting Jewish institutions in New York City. They also reflect on the recent shooting at a San Diego Islamic center and school, commemorate the anniversary of the killing of two Israeli Embassy workers in Washington, D.C. and acknowledge King Charles' outreach to and support for Britain's Jewish community.   Finally, the episode critiques recent international media coverage, including a controversial New York Times report alleging systemic abuse involving IDF-trained dogs, which the hosts characterize as blood libel, inflammatory and deeply problematic reporting.   Thank you for listening, sharing and subscribing to The Third Opinion Podcast!

We would love to hear from you!!! Most people overlook the profound power of vulnerability and purpose born from pain. Angie's heartfelt story reveals how grief transformed her into a voice for women fighting unseen battles—and how her courage ignited hope in a room of 800 strangers. The night she spoke at True North wasn't just a personal milestone; it became a catalyst for healing, connection, and unexpected opportunities she never saw coming.In this episode, Angie shares the raw details of her journey—from praying on her knees to embracing her calling through tears and triumph. You'll discover how vulnerability unlocks extraordinary influence, why small rooms can feel scarier than large crowds, and the crucial role of patience when God's timing feels slow or painful. We break down the unique insights Angie gained from her speech, including the importance of expressing her truth and the impact of sharing an authentic perspective—despite fears of disagreement. We also explore the powerful symbolism of signs—like a hidden bird's nest in a building's letter—offering reassurance that you're always guided on your path. Angie reflects on the blend of grief and purpose, showing how painful loss can pave the way for a mission greater than yourself. This isn't just about Angie's story; it's a call to action for anyone questioning their purpose in challenging times. If you want to harness your pain to serve others, find your voice, and trust in the right timing—this episode is indispensable. Let Angie's journey remind you: your hardest moments can be the very ones that unlock your greatest impact.Thanks for listening!

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was on thin ice when he declared this week on the White House press podium that “Operation Epic Fury is concluded.” Mr. Rubio's reference to the codename of the two-month-old US-Israeli assault on Iran echoes George W. Bush's 2003 Iraq war “Mission Accomplished” declaration, eight years before the president withdrew US forces from the country. Even so, both the United States and Iran are, at least for now, careful to ensure that a four-week-old shaky ceasefire remains in place. The question is for how long. None of the combatants -the United States, Israel, and Iran - likely want the war's lay of the land to settle into either a slow-grinding war of attrition or a long-term no war-no-peace situation.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 80: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (3:00) SPECIAL COMMENT: Nobody is at the wheel of Trump's war in Iran. Is the Strait of Hormuz open or is it closed? Are there peace talks with Iran in Pakistan TOMORROW… or nah? Is Jayvee Vance going? Is Iran going? Has Trump scheduled peace talks where we’re the only ones there? Will it make any difference if we’re the only ones there? Doesn’t “blowing a hole in the engine room” of an Iranian cargo ship yesterday mean we aren’t honoring Trump’s own ceasefire he boasted about? Are we paying 20 billion dollars for the Iranian uranium and hostages? The same uranium and hostages Obama bought for 400 million and Trump called him a traitor? Or is that a no? Don’t ask Trump – he doesn’t know. But that won’t stop him from answering anyway. Yes. Then Nope. Then Yes again. Then: All of the Above. in 48 hours he went from 13 posts congratulating himself on winning, to insisting he would stop being “Mr. Nice Guy” and blow up all of Iran. By the way, eactly when was he “Mr. Nice Guy”? We are LOSING the war in Iran and as of today a total idiot is still president and commander-in-chief. He gets questions about the pointless war he started to divert attention from Epstein and the economy he crashed, so he orders the reporters out of the Oval Office, and sits there with hapless munchkin Little Joe Rogan standing behind him, the shine off his cueball noggin blinding cameras and journalists alike. Trump has set off a chain of events over which he no longer has any control – except to withdraw and flee – and to withdraw and flee is to acknowledge he screwed up. And this man would jump off the roof of the White House before admitting he screwed up. The Trump “Administration” has so UTTERLY jumped the shark, that the truthers are coming out from inside MAGA: Alex Jones now insists Trump has done all this DELIBERATELY, because he has made a “deal with the deep state to throw the election to the Democrats." Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined the Trump Assassination Truthers and Trump himself has floated a kind of conspiracy theory ABOUT himself… he wrote ‘Praise Be To Allah’ on Easter morning to “seem as unstable and insulting as possible.” He wanted to seem as unstable as possible? MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, Trump! You’ve finally done something you promised! B-Block (28:30) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Before the year is out, Major League Baseball will threaten to lock the players out and cancel the season in 2027 because the smaller market teams can't make enough money to compete. One of those teams just sold for $3.1 billion more than it did in 2012. New York's hockey teams support a) Trump putting his name on public buildings or b) legal funds for cops convicted of killing unarmed civilians. Vivek Ramaswamy dismisses his opponent talking about being raped as a child as her "complaining." And Lauren Boebert thinks Congress is too horny and she won't remain, uh, hands off. C-Block (45:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Netflix stock took a huge hit, supposedly after the co-founder Reed Hastings announced he was bowing out. But I think it might've been another announcement that did it. They are going into news podcasts with - Brian Williams? The story of how he imploded at NBC, while I was literally an eyewitness to his public self-destruction, and the advice I gave his bosses that could have saved him (and them) if they hadn't ignored it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mission Accomplished | Acts 18:18-28 | Pastor Howie Van Dyk by GraceChurchNJ

Czabe welcomes devoted casual golf fan ANDY POLLIN to talk about Rory's wild ride at Augusta. If nothing else, he's not boring. Sergio Garcia remains a total putz. ESPN/CBS featured some cool new camera angles and drone shots. NBA Season ends with a flurry of shameless tanking. What can be done? Wizards say "Mission Accomplished" but will they actually end up with the pick of the litter? Czabe does a version of the ManningCast. Ovi may have played his last game in front of the Caps home fans. Is an "Irish Exit" acceptable for a generational superstar? Now Diana Russini is in hot water, as the Athletic suspends her amid an investigation. Czabe says the interlocking fingers is the one image you just can't un-see. Now Mike Vrabel has gone silent, hmm.... odd given that you said it was "nothing." MORE.....Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The US war in Iran is reminding people, uncomfortably, of the US war in Iraq — a conflict that raged on for years after leaders declared victory.

How would you feel if someone told you one of the most pressing problems in food safety in this country was fixed? Now how would you feel if you learned that wasn't really true? Helena and Theodore provide answers to these questions and more – in this episode.

This week, Dave Spano and Dr. Brian Jacobsen break down calls from President Trump to step back from Middle East security, his push to exit the Iran conflict after crippling its nuclear and military capabilities, and Tehran's demand for guarantees to prevent future aggression. We also look at why today's oil price shocks matter less than they once did, how the U.S. economy has become far more energy‑efficient since the Gulf War era, and why the Fed is inclined to “wait and see” rather than react to temporary supply shocks. Plus, a timely policy shift from the Labor Department as new rules move 401(k) plans closer to private equity, private credit, crypto, and other alternatives, providing clearer fiduciary cover for plan managers.  Also, segments on "Direct Indexing" and who should be listed as the taxpayer in your household?

For a seven-hour plane ride and the resulting return trip to Portland, this means 'Mission Accomplished.' So what can we take away from the Galaxy's win over Mount Pleasant? Maybe nothing? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Vieira discuss the Galaxy's win in the round of sixteen in the Concacaf Champions Cup while trying to figure out what we watched and how serious the competition was. Did Vanney start too strong a lineup? And what does it mean that the Galaxy beat the teams they were supposed to beat and now top the CCC standings? Plus, is it time for some "big boy soccer?" Are the Galaxy in trouble when it comes to Toluca? And finally, the guys talk about the trip to Portland and why you can't trust the Galaxy to win on the road until they actually win on the road.

────────────────────────────────────────00:02:10:28 — Federal Officials Accused of Halting Epstein Ranch InvestigationJames Comer says the Trump Justice Department asked New Mexico officials to stop their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch after Epstein's death. The shutdown of the state probe raises questions about federal interference and the broader handling of Epstein-related evidence. ────────────────────────────────────────00:05:44:10 — Iran Threatens Global Trade by Choking the Strait of HormuzIran signals it could shut down or severely disrupt shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global energy and trade flows. Targeting ports, refineries, and shipping routes could cripple global supply chains far beyond the battlefield. ────────────────────────────────────────00:09:32:12 — UN Resolution Condemns Iran While Ignoring U.S. and Israeli StrikesMore than 80 nations support a UN Security Council resolution condemning Iranian actions against Gulf states while omitting criticism of U.S. or Israeli military operations. The move is portrayed as evidence of geopolitical double standards in international diplomacy. ────────────────────────────────────────00:13:33:20 — Trump Claims Victory in Iran War While Continuing Military OperationsTrump declares that the United States has already “won” the war with Iran but simultaneously says U.S. forces will remain engaged to finish the mission. The conflicting messaging raises uncertainty about the war's objectives and timeline. ────────────────────────────────────────00:15:12:06 — Pentagon Accused of Misjudging Iran's Decentralized War StrategyIran's “mosaic defense” doctrine—decentralized units designed to survive leadership decapitation strikes—is highlighted as a strategy U.S. planners allegedly underestimated. The discussion frames this as a major strategic blind spot in the war's early planning. ────────────────────────────────────────00:18:51:28 — Pentagon Seeks Expanded Domestic Surveillance PowersThe Defense Department reportedly pushes to remove restrictions limiting domestic surveillance, citing supply-chain security concerns. Critics warn the move would extend military monitoring powers into domestic affairs. ────────────────────────────────────────00:20:47:02 — Pentagon Tightens Control Over Media Coverage of the WarMajor media outlets lose Pentagon access after refusing to sign agreements restricting communication with sources. The policy leaves official Defense Department photographers and selected figures as the primary sources of wartime imagery. ────────────────────────────────────────00:40:35:02 — War in the Persian Gulf Sends Gold and Oil Prices SurgingFinancial analysts warn that disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz are pushing oil and gold prices sharply higher. The situation is compared to the 1970s oil crisis and raises fears of global economic instability. ────────────────────────────────────────00:55:37:02 — War and Energy Shock Could Accelerate Collapse of Dollar DominanceAnalysts argue that rising oil prices, debt pressures, and central bank accumulation of gold could accelerate global de-dollarization. The conflict with Iran is framed as a catalyst for major changes in the global monetary system. ────────────────────────────────────────01:07:40:13 — Major Private Equity Firms Restrict Withdrawals Amid Liquidity StressBlackRock, Blackstone, and other firms reportedly halt outflows from certain private equity funds. The move signals potential financial stress tied to commercial real estate and tightening credit markets. ────────────────────────────────────────01:24:28:22 — Reports Claim Lindsey Graham Encouraged Netanyahu to Push Trump Toward WarAccording to reports, Senator Lindsey Graham traveled repeatedly to Israel and advised Netanyahu on persuading Trump to support military action against Iran. The claim suggests outside political lobbying contributed to escalation. ────────────────────────────────────────01:43:29:16 — Oil Supply Shock Could Trigger Global Inflation CrisisAnalysts warn that prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could drive hoarding, supply shortages, and rapidly rising energy prices. The scenario resembles historic oil embargoes that triggered worldwide inflation and economic turmoil. ──────────────────────────────────────── Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.com If you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

War and Oil - Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it has closed the Strait of Hormuz, per a Reuters report. - About a third of the world's seaborne oil exports passed through the Strait in 2025. - Threatening to BURN any ship that attempts to go through - The Strait of Hormuz is a critical, narrow chokepoint about 90–104 miles (145–167 km) long and 21–60 miles (33–95 km) wide. At its narrowest, it is only 21 miles (33 km) across, with shipping lanes in each direction restricted to just two miles wide to accommodate massive oil tanker traffic, representing about one-fifth of global oil consumption - Meanwhile - lots of production halts - Oil screamed to $115 on Sunday night before cooler heads prevailed AND SPR talk hit the tape. - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? Just in... - President Trump says "I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the financial security of all maritime trade, especially energy, traveling through the Gulf. This will be available to all shipping lines. If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible" - BUT, who would even want to take the chance of moving through that area - even if there is insurance? Meanwhile LNG -Daily charter rates for LNG tankers in the Atlantic Basin have surged to over $200,000 per day. - Rates are roughly double levels seen less than a day earlier. - The spike followed Qatar's shutdown of LNG production as the conflict with Iran spread across the region. - The new offer levels are at least three times higher than the most recent assessed LNG tanker rate of $61,500, according to Spark Commodities earlier Monday. - Despite the elevated asking prices, no transactions have yet been confirmed at these levels.

Why do/did markets keep climbing? - Global debt climbed to a record $348 trillion at the end of 2025, after nearly $29 trillion was added over the year in the fastest yearly build-up since the pandemic surge - The increase was driven primarily by governments, which accounted for more than $10 trillion of the rise, with the United States, China and the euro area responsible for roughly three-quarters of the jump - Also, margin debt up 30% in 2025 - so there is that... - No wonder there is resilience in these markets... Berkshire News - Earnings from operations totaled $10.2 billion in Q4. That's down more than 29% from $14.56 billion in the year-earlier period. - Insurance underwriting profits dropped 54% to $1.56 billion from $3.41 billion a year prior. Insurance investment income slid nearly 25% from to $3.1 billion from $4.088 billion. - This was the final quarter under Warren Buffett as CEO, who announced he was stepping down at the annual shareholders meeting last May. - Full year overall earnings, meanwhile, fell to $66.97 billion from $89 billion a year prior. - NO Buybacks, bit they still have more that $350B is cash INTERACTIVE BROKERS Check this out and find out more at: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/ Irritating - UBS' top equity strategist dialed back his view on U.S. stocks, citing mounting risks from a weakening dollar, stretched valuations and policy turbulence in Washington. - Andrew Garthwaite, head of global equity strategy at the investment bank, downgraded American equities to “benchmark” in a fully invested global equity portfolio, arguing that the factors that powered years of outperformance are starting to fade. - Market weight - no risk for this guy on the call.

Nate and Chuck discuss ongoing U.S.-Israel actions in the Iran war and argue that Fox News commentary is framing the conflict as already won, including talk of quickly declaring "mission accomplished." Nate questions how strikes reportedly killed multiple Iranian leadership successors while a publicized meeting to select a new Ayatollah proceeded, and they review media clips featuring pro-war rhetoric and claims of an imminent Iranian threat. They focus on reports that an Iranian girls' school was hit, citing outlets saying U.S. airstrikes were responsible, debating missile footage that resembles a Tomahawk, and noting officials' "still investigating" responses while Trump claims Iran did it. They also cover oil depot strikes and "oil rain" in Tehran, warn of rally-around-the-flag effects, unclear objectives, possible escalation with Russia/China involvement, and express anti-war concerns as U.S. service members die. 00:00 Show Kickoff Banter 01:01 Iran War On The Agenda 01:53 Mission Accomplished Media Spin 02:34 Succession Strike Mystery 04:48 Fox News Clash Clip 09:00 War To End Wars Talk 10:17 Declare Victory Debate 13:45 What Winning Even Means 20:05 Lindsey Graham Goes Wild 21:37 Endless War Spiral Fears 22:03 Next Targets After Iran 23:42 Imminent Threat Narrative 24:25 Trump Missile Boast Clip 25:09 School Strike Evidence 27:24 Missile ID and Timeline 30:33 Officials Dodge Accountability 32:40 Propaganda Logic Breaks 36:31 Oil Depots and Public Backlash 42:57 Can This War Succeed 44:58 Closing Anti War Message  

Mission Accomplished

On this week's LIVE discussion, Charlie Sykes delivers a blistering critique of President Trump's Iran policy from a right-of-center perspective — calling out the chaos, contradictions, and long-term damage.We also dissect how “America First” became the most flexible slogan ever, bad optics (video game sizzle reels, golf caps during dignified transfers), economic fallout (oil spiking to $100+/barrel), and call out the Faustian bargains.Major topics discussed:— Trump's incoherent Iran strategy — No plan, no exit, shifting goals from regime change to “unconditional surrender” to whatever Trump decides that day— “America First” means nothing — It's just a flexible slogan that is defined by Trump's mood— Trivializing war — Video game-style White House reels (Top Gun clips, anime), wearing a golf cap at Dover dignified transfer, lack of solemnity amid fallen troops— Israel's influence & anti-Semitism risks — A war sold as for Israel's security is feeding conspiracy theories, and doing long-term damage to bipartisan support for Israel and Jewish communities— Russia-Iran ironies — Russia is reportedly aiding Iran against U.S. forces; Ukraine is helping intercept Iranian drones— White House hubris — “Yes”-men, repeating failed playbooks (“Mission Accomplished” redux), ignoring red flags— AI/job disruption backlash, generational damage to capitalism, the church, and conservatism— Texas Senate race update — Looks like James Talarico could beat Ken Paxton OR John Cornyn!— And MUCH moreIf you're tired of cheerleading and want honest analysis of Trump's presidency, this episode is a must-watch.Subscribe to Matt Lewis on Substack: https://mattklewis.substack.com/Support Matt Lewis at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattlewisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MattLewisDCTwitter: https://twitter.com/mattklewisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattlewisreels/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVhSMpjOzydlnxm5TDcYn0A– Who is Matt Lewis? –Matt K.

【聊了什么】 2月28日，美以联合对伊朗发起代号"史诗狂怒"的军事打击。第一波空袭直接命中德黑兰市中心，最高领袖哈梅内伊等伊朗最高领导层当场身亡。录制本期节目时，战事已进入第八天——油价飙升，中东各国陷入战火，伊朗政权仍在运转，战争走向可能远比特朗普预期的复杂。 与此同时，中期选举的第一枪在德州打响。James Talarico击败Jasmine Crockett，赢得民主党参议员初选提名。一个年轻、看上去更温和的白人州众议员，打败了哈里斯钦点、全国知名的进步派黑人女议员——战术上的差距，还是民主党更深层问题的信号？共和党这边，现任参议员康宁以微弱优势领先帕克斯顿，特朗普至今未明确背书。 第三件事：国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆在3月5日被炒掉。直接导火索是她在国会听证会上把一笔2.2亿美元的广告合同甩锅给了特朗普。 本期节目录制于美国时间2026年3月7日晚间。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 01:54 "史诗狂怒"行动背景 03:24 谈判破裂还是走过场？以色列如何将美国拖下水 05:00 四个战争目标的内部矛盾：薛定谔的伊朗核能力 07:12 格雷厄姆的幕后操纵：高尔夫球场上的游说 10:55 "任务完成"的历史幽灵：与伊拉克战争对比 21:25 伊朗政权的战略逻辑 34:39 地面部队困境：空袭无法实现战略目标 40:38 《战争权力决议》投票失败：国会能做什么？ 45:43 战争对中期选举的冲击：滞胀风险与民意隐患 52:20 德州民主党初选：塔拉里科击败克罗克特 54:14 塔拉里科的底牌：基督教左派能否打开福音派市场 57:02 克罗克特为何失败 60:17 共和党初选：康宁险胜，特朗普为何迟迟不背书 66:10 克伦肖输掉众议员初选：99%的忠诚也不够用 75:07 导火索：2.2亿广告合同甩锅给特朗普 77:09 丑闻解剖：空壳公司与利益输送 79:34 诺姆转任特使：为何不能彻底踢出局 80:14 穆林接任DHS：特朗普爱上福克斯常客 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 我们的主播和嘉宾： Talich：美国政治和文化历史爱好者 王浩岚：美国政治爱好者，岚目公众号主笔兼消息二道贩子 小华：媒体人 【 What We Talked About】 On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint military strike on Iran under the codename "Operation Epic Fury." The first wave of airstrikes hit central Tehran directly, killing Supreme Leader Khamenei and the rest of Iran's top leadership. By the time we recorded this episode, the conflict had entered its eighth day — oil prices were surging, the Middle East was engulfed in fighting, and the Iranian regime was still standing. The war may be far more complicated than Trump anticipated. Meanwhile, the midterm election season opened in Texas. James Talarico defeated Jasmine Crockett to win the Democratic Senate primary nomination. A young, ostensibly moderate white state legislator beat a nationally prominent progressive Black congresswoman who had the backing of Kamala Harris — is this a tactical failure, or a signal of something deeper wrong with the Democratic Party? On the Republican side, incumbent Senator Cornyn edged out Paxton by a slim margin, and Trump has yet to commit to a clear endorsement. Third: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was fired on March 5. The immediate trigger was her testimony before Congress, in which she tried to pin a $220 million ad contract on Trump. This episode was recorded on the night of March 7, 2026 (U.S. time). 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program: https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/americanroulette Business Inquiries and fan mail: american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【Timeline】 01:54 Background on "Operation Epic Fury" 03:24 Failed negotiations or political theater?
