The final hour of Evan & Tiki opens with spring training controversy as Yankees fans erupt over Mets pitcher Luke Weaver arriving at camp with a Yankees bag, sparking a broader debate on why the Yankees get mocked more than any team in sports. The guys react to Isiah Kiner-Falefa's comments about preferring to face the Yankees in the playoffs, discuss institutionalized Yankee hate, and whether it's earned. Then the show pivots to the NFL with a deep dive into Deshaun Watson's future after his remaining lawsuits are dismissed, including a heated debate on whether the Jets should take a flier on the former elite quarterback versus pursuing Derek Carr. Calls pour in on reputation, risk, and what Jets fans are willing to tolerate. Plus, Knicks talk featuring Josh Hart's refreshing self-awareness, breaking Mets bullpen news, Justin Verlander returning to Detroit, and a critical Yankees discussion on Anthony Volpe, service time manipulation, and why fans may not see him for a while. Classic Evan & Tiki chaos to close out the show.

Jesus Was Mocked on the Cross—And So Will You | Matthew 27:33-44The world mocked Jesus as He hung on the cross. "If you're God's son, come down!" they shouted.

And three days later, the empty tomb said everything.If you're facing mockery for your faith, if you're waiting for God to defend you, or if you're wondering why He isn't showing up the way you expected—this message is for you.In this sermon, we walk through Matthew 27:33-44 and uncover four powerful truths about Christ's crucifixion:TIMESTAMPS: [00:00] Intro - The Most Evil Day in History [02:04] The Crucifixion Begins [06:08] Golgotha: The Place of the Skull [08:19] Jesus Takes Our Place [16:26] Penal Substitutionary Atonement Explained [19:07] Prophecy Fulfilled: Psalm 22 [24:02] The Religious Leaders Mock Jesus [29:18] Moses, Miriam, and God's Vindication [33:42] Worship That Goes Deeper Than "He Loves Me" [35:34] How Jesus Responded to Mockery [36:25] Christianity Isn't About Being Understood [39:06] After the Amen Q&AKEY TAKEAWAYS:Let it humble you - You're the soldier, the mocker, the one who deserved the cross.

020526 Mockery of the Truth in Washington, Measles in Dilley Camp, Canary in the Coal Mine, ICE Health Service New Mission by The News with Paul DeRienzo

Presidency has responded to the mockery of President John Dramani Mahama's traditional smock worn during his visit to Zambia. Following social media comments by some Zambians who derided the attire, Ghanaians pushed back to educate them on its cultural significance. The Presidency has, however, urged Ghanaians to tone down personal attacks and respond with dignity

Sanders & Flacco?!

Have you ever felt incredibly close to God on a Sunday, only to feel completely drained and alone by Tuesday? If God feels distant right now, you are not crazy, and you are definitely not alone. In this episode, we see how Psalm 42 confronts the brutal reality of spiritual dryness, that exhausting season when your prayers feel like they are hitting the ceiling and your heart feels like a field in a drought.We often think that if we can't "feel" God, we must be doing something wrong. But Psalm 42 teaches us something radical: feeling empty isn't always a sign of weak faith; sometimes it's the beginning of a deeper, more honest relationship with Jesus. We will look at how the Psalmist didn't fake a smile or pretend everything was fine. Instead, he dragged his depression, his questions, and his pain right into the presence of God. That isn't disrespect; that is worship.If you are a Christian tired of pretending you have it all together, this message is for you. We will move past the clichés and look at practical tools to help you survive the storm. You will learn the "Rule of 555," a simple, actionable strategy to help you reconnect with God when your emotions scream that He has forgotten you. Stop letting your feelings drive the boat. Learn how to anchor yourself in truth so you can say, "I will hope in God," even when the night is dark.SUBSCRIBE to our channel / @binmin_org JOIN the NEWSLETTER at https://binmin.org/newsletter/SUPPORT Binmin with a tax-deductible gift HERE - https://binmin.org/donate0:00 - WHEN SUNDAY FEELS CLOSE… THEN TUESDAY FEELS EMPTY0:35 - WHY PSALM 42 WAS WRITTEN (SPIRITUAL DRYNESS)0:47 - WHAT A LAMENT IS (PAIN THAT MOVES TO TRUST)0:57 - “AS A DEER PANTS…” YOUR SOUL'S THIRST FOR GOD (PSALM 42:1)1:23 - TEARS, MOCKERY, AND FEELING FORGOTTEN (PSALM 42:3)1:40 - REMEMBERING GOD'S PAST FAITHFULNESS (PSALM 42:4)2:44 - TALKING TO YOUR SOUL: “HOPE IN GOD” (PSALM 42:5)3:28 - OVERWHELMED LIKE WAVES, YET HELD BY STEADFAST LOVE (PSALM 42:7–8)4:41 - LIGHTHOUSE FAITH: TRUTH OVER FEELINGS + HOPE'S NAME IS JESUS (PSALM 42:11)5:07 - THE RULE OF 555: A SIMPLE PLAN WHEN YOU FEEL DISTANT5:49 - CLOSING PRAYERFUL ENCOURAGEMENT + NEXT STEPSJOIN the⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

BMitch and JP still can't believe the Belichick snub.

While host Brian Kilmeade has a history of praising Trump, 79, he didn't hold back when he called out the commander-in-chief for installing plaques insulting Democratic predecessors Joe Biden and Barack Obama on the new Presidential Walk of Fame, Knewz.com can report. While the Presidential Walk of Fame had already sparked backlash due to the Biden image, as well as how the tributes carry over Trump's favorite gold indoor decor to the outside of the White House, the plaques' inscriptions fueled fresh outrage and concerns about Trump's cognitive health.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Scott Jennings' remark that people shouldn't get their “knickers twisted” over Jeffrey Epstein was a textbook example of elite minimization dressed up as pundit smugness. By framing outrage over Epstein as emotional overreaction, Jennings reduced an industrial-scale sex-trafficking operation—one protected by wealth, power, and institutional failure—into a nuisance topic people should simply move past. His comment treated Epstein not as the epicenter of a still-unresolved criminal network, but as an inconvenient media obsession that distracts from more “serious” political discourse. In doing so, Jennings implicitly scolded the public for caring too much about unanswered questions, uncharged accomplices, and a justice system that visibly bent itself into knots to protect powerful people.What made the comment especially galling was its timing and tone. Jennings wasn't speaking from ignorance; he was speaking from comfort—the comfort of someone untouched by the consequences of elite impunity. Telling people not to get upset about Epstein functions as narrative control, whether intentional or not: it pressures the public to accept silence, forget victims, and normalize the idea that some crimes are simply too awkward to fully confront. It echoed a broader media instinct to downplay Epstein precisely because sustained scrutiny threatens institutions, donors, and political figures across party lines. In that sense, Jennings' flippant phrasing wasn't just dismissive—it was revealing, a small but telling glimpse into how casually the ruling class expects the public to swallow unfinished justice and move on.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:CNN's MAGA pundit Scott Jennings says people shouldn't ‘get our knickers in a twist' over Epstein's crimes | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this concluding Mussar Masterclass (Day 118) on Orchos Tzaddikim's Gate of Silence, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the remaining three (of five) destructive forms of mockery (leitzanut) that block the Divine Presence:Mocking beneficial deeds/activities without intent to shame—arrogantly rejecting what one doesn't personally value, leading to scorning mitzvot and eventual heresy; mockers reject rebuke and have "no hope."Habitual idle mockery (e.g., "corner dwellers" seeking laughs)—wastes time, increases sin, neglects Torah study, and incurs double loss (committing evil while missing good).Jesting mockery for entertainment (e.g., late-night shows)—lightens serious matters, leads to excessive drinking, weakens mitzvah observance in oneself and others, and desensitizes to holiness.Mockery ultimately backfires measure-for-measure ("do not mock lest your affliction worsen"), discourages mitzvot, and can lead to heresy—except when mocking grave sins like idolatry to deter others. The rabbi warns against habitual joking that erodes inspiration and clarity, urging silence to preserve reverence.

In this Mussar Masterclass (Day 117) from Orchos Tzaddikim's Gate of Silence, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the first of four categories that block the Divine Presence: leitzim (mockers). Mockery divides into five types, with the focus on two profoundly evil forms:Slandering/mocking others for no gain—pure malice that steals dignity, lowers reputation, and breeds hatred, worse than theft (which at least seeks personal benefit).Mocking the poor or less successful out of arrogance and haughtiness—despising Hashem's handiwork while falsely crediting one's wealth to personal brilliance ("my power and the might of my hand").Such mockery stems from pride, ingratitude, and forgetting that Hashem creates both rich and poor. True humility recognizes personal flaws, refrains from judging others, and honors every person as divine creation. The episode powerfully warns that mocking others ultimately mocks the Creator Himself.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on July 1, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 13, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Mockery divides into five types, with the focus on two profoundly evil forms:Slandering/mocking others for no gain—pure malice that steals dignity, lowers reputation, and breeds hatred, worse than theft (which at least seeks personal benefit).Mocking the poor or less successful out of arrogance and haughtiness—despising Hashem's handiwork while falsely crediting one's wealth to personal brilliance ("my power and the might of my hand").Such mockery stems from pride, ingratitude, and forgetting that Hashem creates both rich and poor. True humility recognizes personal flaws, refrains from judging others, and honors every person as divine creation. The episode powerfully warns that mocking others ultimately mocks the Creator Himself.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on July 1, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on January 13, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY AI VALLEY: THE EARLY HISTORY OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEColleague Gary Rivlin. Author Gary Rivlin reviews the early history of artificial intelligence in his book AI Valley.

The conversation dives into Russian strategies and the apparent shift in the U.S. stance on European security under Trump's administration. Shirreff and Jonathan analyse the recently released U.S. National Security Strategy, highlighting its lack of emphasis on China and Russia as threats and its focus on European institutions. They discuss how Trump's policies may be inadvertently aiding Putin's objectives by decoupling U.S. support from European security and undermining NATO. The episode underscores the need for Europe to bolster its resilience and unity independently. Shirreff emphasizes the necessity of leadership and clear strategies to face these challenges. They also delve into the implications of cognitive warfare, societal resilience, and the broader necessity for Europe to mobilize and prepare for potential threats. In the concluding segment, they highlight a fundraiser aimed at supporting Ukrainian soldiers by providing crucially needed vehicles.----------CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction and Guest Background01:21 Russian Strategy and US National Security Policy03:36 NATO's Current State and Challenges06:09 Europe's Need for Self-Reliance10:07 Resilience and National Defense13:37 Potential Future Scenarios28:54 Call to Action and Conclusion----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------

This is an interview with The Babbling Beaver, a satirical persona inspired by the Babylon Bee, focusing on critiquing wokeness and climate alarmism primarily at MIT and other elite universities. The guest discusses the power of mockery in combating absurd academic and social trends, emphasizing the importance of making people laugh at what they consider foolishness. The interview also touches on personal experiences of academic and social retaliation, the effectiveness of ridicule in exposing hypocrisy, and the efforts to encourage satire as a means of challenging prevailing narratives on college campuses.00:00 Introduction to the Babbling Beaver01:35 MIT and Climate Wokeness17:25 The Power of Mockery26:42 Gender Madness and Medicalization27:56 MIT's Changing Culture29:05 Hyper Feminization at MIT30:35 Admissions and Gender Balance38:43 Scientific Publishing and Peer Review41:51 Indigenous Graves Controversy in Canada50:35 Satire and Humor in Academiahttps://babblingbeaver.com/https://x.com/Babbling_Beaver—Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Proverbs 17:5–9 exposes four defining traits of the wise and the foolish. To mock the poor is to insult their Maker, and to rejoice in calamity invites judgment. Children's children bless the aged, and parents become the glory of their offspring. Excellent speech does not fit the fool, nor do lies belong on the lips of rulers. And the wise know how to cover an offense, while the gossip spreads strife and destroys friendships. In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine these sharp contrasts, calling listeners to practice mercy, honor, integrity, and the quiet love that preserves peace.

Something film fanatics often say is that a particular director's work is really “about the movies.” Sometimes that's true and sometimes it isn't–but there's no doubt that The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) is one of the “moviest” movies ever made. Every frame of it articulates the longing for life in a world superior to our own: the world of art. The problem is that the people on the screen, despite their temporary invasion of reality, eventually fade when the house lights rise. Patrick McGilligan's 2025 biography, Woody Allen: A Travesty of a Mockery of a Sham, is a comprehensive, sweeping, and rigor­ous account of Allen's life and career.

The Gospel lesson for Christ the King Sunday shows us Jesus being mocked on the cross and his famous words to the repentant thief: "Today you will be with me in paradise." Peter Walsh and John Kennedy explain why this is the perfect piece of scripture for Christ the King, how this is a lesson in divine humility, and why we should be cautious about exclusively believing the kingdom is on Earth or elsewhere.Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and Application:Kingship Reimagined: What does this passage teach about God's power expressed through humility rather than dominance?Forgiveness in the Face of Violence: What stands out to you about Jesus offering forgiveness before anyone repents?The Meaning of Paradise: Jesus' promise of “today you will be with me in Paradise” reframes heaven as companionship with Christ. How might this reshape how we think about death, hope, or eternal life?Personal Reflection:Opening the Heart: The clergy describe salvation not as a transaction but as an opening of the heart. Where do you sense your own heart opening—or resisting—God's love?Responding to Mockery and Pain: What experiences in your life make it difficult to respond with the mercy and restraint Jesus shows here?Paradise as God's Presence: If Paradise is walking with the King—presence, companionship, intimacy—when have you sensed moments of “Paradise” in this life?Broader Spiritual Considerations:The Nature of Salvation: The clergy critique overly formulaic views of salvation. In your own understanding, what is salvation for? How might this passage broaden or complicate your theology of who is saved and how?Love as the First Word: Peter suggests Christians often lead with sin rather than love. What might change—within the Church, or in the wider world—if love were always the first word?Living Between the Gardens: If Eden represents our origin and Paradise our fulfillment, what does it mean to live faithfully in the “in-between”—in a world marked by both beauty and brokenness?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

Today, the gloves are off. This episode isn't about comfort. It's about confronting evil head-on: murder, shootings, terror, chaos, and the culture's deafening drumbeat of despair. Evil is real. Evil is loud. But Christ is louder—He is already victorious.We remember courage—in the face of Charlie Kirk's murder, in the shadow of 9/11, amid violence that threatens to numb our souls. The cost? Opposition. Mockery. Media that silences truth-tellers.But the ultimate truth stands tall: Jesus is still Lord. Evil may roar, but its days are numbered.So, C-Suite leader—when evil stares you down, will you stand, speak, shine? Or will you hide?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in unshakeable truth."I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." – John 16:33Episode Highlights:05:16 - Part of the reason evil seems louder today is because the church has been too quiet. We've retreated into our comfort zones. We've hidden behind the four walls of the church building. We've let culture define morality instead of boldly declaring what God says is true. And when the church is silent, evil doesn't take a day off. Evil instead fills the church's void.31:29 - "This is likely going to sting a little bit, but you're going to have to deal with it because it needs to be said, if your faith is private, it's utterly, completely and totally useless. Evil doesn't tremble at personal faith. Evil trembles when faith becomes public. Evil doesn't fear Christians who attend church on Sunday and blend in the rest of the week. No, evil fears Christians who carry Christ into the workplace, the boardroom, the classroom, and even the streets.37:41 - Here's the bottom line for you today. If you're a Christian, your hope is not tied to whether the headlines improve tomorrow. It's tied to the unshakable, immovable, unstoppable victory of Jesus Christ. Evil is loud, yes, but it's temporary. Evil is real, yes, but it's already defeated. Evil feels overwhelming, yes, but it cannot outlast the promises of God. So, Christian soldier, lift your head, straighten your shoulders and remind yourself and the entire world our hope is alive. His name is Jesus Christ, and he's already won.Connect with Paul M.

God should not be mocked, for He does what He says and He follows through. Yet in the world today, groups possessed by false ideologies go out of their way to mock Him. Sadly, we saw this transpire during the Jubilee Year in Rome when the so-called "LGBT" community invaded St. Peter's Basilica to spread their false beliefs in defiance of divine and natural law.

As seen on Guteld!, Greg says the Democrats have to stop their demonization of conservatives, which has inspired violence. Greg shows a compilation of what some notable Democrats have said about ICE. Greg says Democrats should resort to mockery rather than demonization. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

With Persian King Artaxerxes' permission and timber in hand, Nehemiah reaches Jerusalem, surveys the ruined walls by night, and calls to the remnant: “Let us rise up and build.” Mockery from Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem (symbolizing the enemies of God's people on all sides) hears from a confident Nehemiah, “The God of heaven will make us prosper!” This section demonstrates prudent planning, courageous leadership, and trust in God for success.  The Rev. Peter Burfeind, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Union City, MI, and Agnus Dei Lutheran Church in Marshall, MI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Nehemiah 2.  To learn more about Our Savior and Agnus Dei, visit facebook.com/oursaviorunioncity and agnusdeimarshall.com From rubble to renewal, Nehemiah shows how the Lord rebuilds not just walls but hearts. Brick by brick and prayer by prayer, we follow God's people through repentance, courageous leadership, fierce opposition, covenant renewal, and joyful dedication. This verse-by-verse series keeps Law and Gospel front and center, tracing the story from burned gates to the greater Builder — Christ Jesus — who secures a city that cannot fall. Expect honest history, practical application, and the steady comfort of God's promises when the work is heavy and critics are loud. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Cynthia Erivo, a queer woman, just starred as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Culture is calling it powerful and revolutionary. I'm calling it what it is: blasphemy. In this video, I break down the dangerous theology of Jesus Christ Superstar, why Hollywood loves to rewrite Jesus, and how feminism, queer ideology, and progressive theology have hijacked the gospel for their own agenda. This isn't about race or sexuality… it's about truth. God will not be mocked. Jesus is not a character. He is the risen King, and He's coming back.       -       Follow me on Instagram: @AngelamarieScafidi       -       Ways to Support the Show:
