Liz Peek examines the Michigan Democratic Senate primary as a national test for the party's ideological direction. Moderate Haley Stevens faces Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a candidate favored by the Democratic Socialists of America. Peek notes the "shocker" UAW endorsement of El-Sayed, highlighting a shift toward "woke" politics among union members in higher education. This race evaluates if a far-left candidate can win a statewide swing-state contest. (2)1903 PE®SIA
HEALTH NEWS Review finds blueberry and grape polyphenols may improve vascular health Plant compound shows promise for treating rheumatoid arthritis at its source, study finds Screen Time at Ages 1 and 6 Linked to Lasting Learning and Memory Effects Some caffeinated drinks are linked to poorer memory Study: Morning Exercise Linked to Lower Daily Calorie Intake Compared to Evening Workouts Review finds blueberry and grape polyphenols may improve vascular health Universidad Católica de Murcia (Spain), July 27 2026 (News-Medical) A recent review published in the journal Nutrients examined the evidence on the effects of blueberries, grapes, and their bioactive compounds on cardiovascular risk markers. In the present study, a comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs), systematic reviews, and meta-analyses published from January 2015 through April 2026. Two systematic reviews and meta-analyses reported that grape polyphenols at doses exceeding 500 mg/day for at least 12 weeks significantly reduced C-reactive protein levels, while the other reported improvements in vascular function or BP in 84% of the human studies it assessed, including a significant reduction in systolic BP. One found a modest reduction in BP and improvement in endothelial function with flavan-3-ol foods, such as tea, apples, cocoa, and grape-derived products. Moderate- and high-quality RCTs reported improvements in lipid peroxidation, lipid profiles, flow-mediated dilation, diastolic BP, and paraoxonase activity. Resveratrol and blueberry RCTs mainly reported endothelial and vascular benefits, such as improved nitric oxide production and flow-mediated dilation and reduced BP and inflammatory markers. One high-quality RCT involving older men with metabolic syndrome showed significant improvements in arterial stiffness and endothelial function after six months of daily blueberry consumption. Plant compound shows promise for treating rheumatoid arthritis at its source, study finds Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, July 27 2026 (Natural News) A plant-derived compound called obakulactone (OL) reduced swelling, inflammation and joint damage in rats with rheumatoid arthritis, according to a study published in Engineering. The compound, a tetracyclic triterpenoid from the bark of Phellodendri cortex, also rebalanced immune activity and corrected disrupted fatty acid metabolismd. P. cortex has been used in traditional medicine and contains OL along with other constituents, Researchers tested OL in rats with rheumatoid arthritis, administering low, medium and high doses for 21 days. Treatment significantly reduced joint swelling and helped restore the normal structure of cartilage and the synovium, the tissue lining the joints, according to the report. Blood tests showed dose-dependent decreases in inflammatory molecules including IL-1, IL-6, IL-17 and TNF, as well as rheumatoid arthritis markers RF, CCP-Ab, CRP and MMP-3, officials said. The compound also reduced abnormally high levels of CD3+ T cells and CD68+ macrophages within the joints and shifted macrophages from a proinflammatory M1 state toward an anti-inflammatory M2 state. Screen Time at Ages 1 and 6 Linked to Lasting Learning and Memory Effects National University of Singapore & Zhejiang University (China), July 28, 2026 (SciTech Daily) A study that tracked children from age 1 through age 8 found that greater screen viewing time, especially during infancy and near the start of school, was associated with lower academic performance at age 9 and weaker working memory at age 10.5. The results indicate that when children use screens may matter as much as how long they spend using them. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics advise avoiding screens before 18 to 24 months and limiting viewing to less than one hour per day between ages 2 and 5. Many children exceed those recommendations, yet previous research on screens and cognitive development has produced inconsistent results. The analysis included 502 children followed from infancy into middle childhood. Higher screen viewing during particular stages was associated with poorer academic results and weaker working memory later on. The clearest and most consistent relationships appeared during infancy and near school entry, suggesting that these may be especially sensitive periods for cognitive development. Children with greater total screen exposure across childhood also generally performed less well in school. Together, the findings suggest that both the timing and overall amount of viewing may have implications for learning and memory. Some caffeinated drinks are linked to poorer memory Applied Science Private University (Jordan), July 28 2026 (News-Medical) A recent study in the Journal of Education and Health Promotion examined the association between caffeine-containing products and memory performance, anxiety, and stress among university students in Jordan. 204 students were ultimately included in the study. Mild psychological distress was the most common category, with 38.2% reporting such symptoms. About four in ten reported mild depression, and over a quarter experienced moderate anxiety. Only a small minority showed severe or extremely severe stress. Caramel or nut-filled chocolate was the most frequently consumed item, reported by 54.9% of students, followed by Arabic coffee (40.2%) and red tea (35.8%). Milk chocolate was also popular, typically consumed once or twice a day. Dark chocolate was less common, while American coffee and green tea were less popular, and decaffeinated coffee was rarely chosen. Overall DASS scores, representing depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, showed positive correlations with the consumption of dark chocolate, American/instant coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and red tea, indicating these items were linked to higher psychological distress scores. Memory ability was negatively associated with higher intake of American coffee, Arabic coffee, and soft drinks. The authors note that chocolate and green tea also contain bioactive compounds such as cocoa flavanols and L-theanine, which may have contributed to these associations alongside caffeine. Study: Morning Exercise Linked to Lower Daily Calorie Intake Compared to Evening Workouts Copenhagen University Hospital (Denmark), July 27 2026 (Natural News) A new study has found that morning exercise was associated with lower calorie consumption throughout the day compared to evening workouts, according to the research. Participants who exercised in the morning consumed about 400 fewer calories at the post-workout meal and roughly 547 fewer calories over the full 24-hour period, the study reported. The study, which involved 35 healthy young adults. Each participant completed 30 minutes of treadmill running multiple times under varying conditions: morning fasted, evening fasted for 12 hours or 6 hours, and morning or evening fed, the study stated. The repeated-measures design enabled researchers to compare the same person's responses across different scenarios, officials said. After evening sessions, participants reported higher hunger, a stronger desire to eat, and lower fullness compared to morning sessions, the study found. Those who worked out in the evening consumed about 400 more calories at the post-workout meal and roughly 547 more calories over the full day, according to the research. The appetite advantage was attributed to circadian rhythms, researchers said. The hunger hormone ghrelin naturally rises in the evening, while satiety hormones are more active in the morning,.

What does a positive vision for the center-left look like? Can moderation still excite the Democratic base? Matt Yglesias, who writes the Slow Boring newsletter and hosts The Argument podcast, talks to Jon about his vision for the Democratic Party and why he believes more Democrats need to embrace heterodoxy. The two discuss how the policy debate could play out in the upcoming presidential primary, the role charisma and attention-getting play in politics, and which Democrats are best positioned to win in 2028.For a transcript of this episode, email transcripts@crooked.com
“I could not get under oath and swear that I know exactly how Kennedy died in Dallas.” — Ben Barnes, who helped advance JFK's fatal Texas tripIn Texas, there's nothing in the middle of the road, Jim Hightower famously quipped, but yellow stripes and dead armadillos. But Ben Barnes has spent seven decades disproving him. Elected as a Democratic moderate to the Texas legislature at 21, Speaker of the Texas House at 26, and lieutenant governor at 30, Barnes was LBJ's premier protégé and has known every president from Kennedy to Trump. Now 87, he has distilled all his centrist wisdom into Get It Done: Seven Decades of Lessons from a Political Legend.Get It Done is more than just a Texan story. Barnes spent six weeks advancing JFK's fatal 1963 Dallas trip and breakfasted with the president in Fort Worth on the morning of the assassination. He confesses that the Warren Commission “did not get it entirely correct” and notes that the experienced hunter John Connally, who rode in the Presidential limo, always insisted there were four shots, not three.Then there's the equally historic scene at the White House on the day LBJ signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Pen in hand, Johnson looked a dozen young Southern Democrats — Barnes among them — straight in the eye and told them he'd just signed away Dixie. “What I'm doing today is probably going to turn the South Republican for thirty or forty years,” LBJ confessed with astonishing prescience.The dirty trickster Richard Nixon, meanwhile, ended Barnes' electoral career. You can hear it on the tapes — Nixon ordering his attorney general, John Mitchell, to “get something on Barnes” before the Texas Democrat got to be governor. Years later, fresh from prison, Mitchell invited Barnes to lunch, apologized over a bowl of spaghetti, then dropped dead on a Washington sidewalk three months later.Barnes forgave Mitchell. He is less forgiving of the current administration, which he says is hammering the final nail into the coffin of LBJ's Voting Rights Act. In the recent Texas Senate runoffs, only seven percent of voters showed up. Seven. Barnes remembers, aged three, watching pickup trucks packed with young men rolling toward the recruiting stations the morning after Pearl Harbor. That generation died for the country. This one, the very alive Texan armadillo quipped, could at least vote to protect American democracy.Five Takeaways• Four Shots, Not Three — But No Conspiracy. Barnes advanced JFK's Texas trip and was at the Fort Worth breakfast on the morning of the assassination. The Warren Commission, he believes, did not get it entirely correct: Connally, a hunter, swore the single-bullet ricochet was a physical impossibility and always counted four shots. Yet Barnes dismantles the grand-plot theories with logistics — Oswald started at the Book Depository thirty days before a motorcade route that wasn't fixed until six days prior, so he could not have known the president would pass. Ted Kennedy assured him before his death that nothing of importance remains unreleased in the files. Sixty years of phone calls from theorists later, Barnes will not swear under oath that he knows how Kennedy died.• The Hostility Began in Los Angeles. The LBJ–Bobby Kennedy feud, in Barnes's telling, started at the 1960 convention, when Bobby went to Johnson's hotel room to talk him out of accepting the vice presidency his brother had just offered. The wound never healed — not through the vice presidency, not through the White House years with Bobby as attorney general. The counter-example was Ted Kennedy, who voted for the civil rights bills, kept a genuine affection for Johnson, and told Barnes three weeks before his own death what a great president LBJ had been.• “This Will Turn the South Republican.” On the day he signed the Voting Rights Act, Johnson looked a dozen young Southern officeholders — Barnes among them — in the eye and told them the bill would probably turn the South Republican for thirty or forty years, and that they would have to work and tell the story over and over again. The prophecy held: Texas, Barnes says, is now the reddest state in America. And the administration's new voting legislation, he warns, would be the final nail in the coffin of Johnson's greatest achievement — making it harder for everyone to vote, and hardest of all for minorities.• “Get Something on Barnes”: Nixon's Vendetta and Mitchell's Spaghetti. Furious that Barnes had helped Humphrey carry Texas in 1968 — and alarmed that he was outpolling every Democrat in the state — Nixon told John Mitchell to go to Texas and manufacture a scandal before Barnes reached the governor's mansion. It's on the tapes, and Barnes keeps copies. His electoral career ended. Years later, out of prison, Mitchell asked him to lunch, apologized over a bowl of spaghetti — “I had time to think in prison” — and died on a Washington sidewalk three months later. Barnes forgave him. The tactics, he notes, are back in fashion.• Seven Percent. Trump, Barnes says, never prepared himself for the presidency — no student of history, bored by his intelligence briefings, and surrounded this term by a team without depth. American prestige is dwindling; NATO is non-negotiable; when America coughs, the world catches pneumonia. At home, racism has resurfaced and women's promotions to the military's top ranks are reportedly frozen. But his sharpest alarm is the emptiest statistic: seven percent turnout in the recent Texas Senate runoffs. The man who watched pickup trucks of volunteers roll toward the recruiting stations after Pearl Harbor asks only that this generation get involved — before the Republic runs out of birthdays.About the GuestBen Barnes was elected to the Texas legislature at 21, became the youngest Speaker of the Texas House at 26, and the youngest lieutenant governor in Texas history at 30. LBJ's “premier protégé,” he has spent the subsequent decades as a consultant, fundraiser, and Democratic power broker, helped establish the LBJ School of Public Affairs, and is founder and CEO of the Ben Barnes Group in Austin.

In this Wednesday Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down Secretary Rubio's explosive new report tracing six decades of Cuban, Soviet, and Chinese subversion behind the Communist takeover of the Democrat Party. Bryan answers listener questions on the state of immigration enforcement under Trump, a new Colorado congresswoman's push to replace American leadership with immigrants, and why he believes veteran Democrats like Van Jones are too late to reclaim their party from its socialist wing. He also tackles listener questions on Iran, explaining why the IRGC is so hard to defeat and what the CIA really knows about the regime's nuclear ambitions. Plus, Bryan covers President Trump's puzzling reversal on China's election interference, a New Jersey "glitch" that registered thousands of noncitizens to vote, and a deep dive into the Bolshevik Revolution as a cautionary parallel for where America's Communist movement could be headed.

“Talking In Your Sleep” is not exactly a happy song. I chose it for the guitar background and the melody, both of which I find quite beautiful. I'm a long-time fan of Gordon Lightfoot, and I've covered many of his songs on this blog. However, this song is not as well known as many of Lightfoot's others, and I hadn't listened to it in decades. But the song kept popping up on the Pandora stations I've been listening to lately, and it captured my attention immediately. “Talking In Your Sleep” is a touching, country-folk song written and performed by the Canadian singer-songwriter. Reprise Records released the song in 1971 on Gordon's 6th album, Summerside of Life. It became a moderate hit, reaching #64 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Charts and #19 on the Canadian RPM charts. In case you were wondering, RPM stands for the title of a popular Canadian music trade journal called Records, Promotion, Music. Moderate hit or not, “Talking In Your Sleep” rings my doorbell. I hope it will ring yours as well. My mentor, Jerry Lamberth, calls it “a wonderful song,” and one of the first lessons he posted on his site, Jerry's Guitar Bar. With Jerry's tutelage, I'm playing the song close to Lightfoot's original. Chapters (00:00:12) - I heard you talking in your sleep

Gold sends a shiver through the spine of the adventurer, the merest hint drives men to acts of extreme bravery, or stupidity. Moderate men and women throw off their cloaks of social anonymity and travel thousands of kilometers in arduous conditions just to lay their hands on a Gramm or two of the yellow treasure. Gold fever is a pandemic even in the modern world, although the price of gold fluctuates based on world geopolitics and economics. What is this allure? Callous investors of the modern era decry gold bugs and their passion, sneering at the pursuit of a commodity that appears to have very little going for it other than it's scarcity. Despite these days of blockchain, ETFs, polymarket and AI investor hullabaloo, the physical value underpinning billions is bullion. By the 1880s, gold was more than something to lock away in a vault or fashion into a king's crown. It had become one of the world's essential industrial commodities, prized because it would not rust, tarnish or corrode, and because it could be beaten into sheets so thin they were almost transparent. Gold leaf adorned the domes of public buildings, church altars, picture frames and the spines of expensive books. Dentists relied on it for fillings, crowns and bridges because it was soft, durable and chemically inert. Watchmakers and instrument makers used it for precision components that had to resist corrosion, while jewellers transformed it into rings, brooches and chains for an expanding middle class. Gold salts found their way into photography and medicine, and artisans incorporated the metal into fine porcelain, glass and luxury decorative objects. Yet these practical uses consumed only a fraction of the world's output. The overwhelming demand for gold came from another purpose altogether: it was the metal that underpinned the global financial system. Nations minted it into sovereigns, eagles and francs, banks stored it in their vaults as the foundation of their currencies, and governments measured their economic strength by the weight of bullion they possessed. Every new reef discovered promised not merely ornaments or luxury goods, but the power to expand credit, finance empires and reshape the world economy. Geologically speaking the Witwatersrand gold basin is a unique phenomenon, it is the most immense gold resource with the poorest grade ever discovered. Witwatersrand makes up 1/3rd of all gold ever mined in the history of planet earth. Standing south of Johannesburg these days and looking at the high ground, the Witwatersrand, gives you very little idea about why early settlers called this the Ridge of White Waters. It's all developed now, there the inevitable town house development complexes, shopping malls, industrialised and urbanised land has obfuscated the look and feel of the landscape. As the early trekkers made their way north from the Vaal River in the mid-1830s, they were struck by the beautiful vista of a broad ridge about 100 kilometers across, dotted with waterfalls in summer. To give you an idea about what this must have looked like, go visit the Walter Sisulu botanical gardens in Roodepoort to take a look at the stunning waterfall there. The entire ridge was covered with these waterfalls, particularly spectacular after heavy rains — places like Roodepoort, Melville, Parktown, Upper Houghton, Orange Grove, Bedfordview were covered in clear running falls, long since channeled and drained, the silver cascades long gone. The Australians have a lot to do with gold discoveries in South Africa - particularly Henry Lewis who had been lured to Southern Africa by reports of paydirt in the Eastern Transvaal - Pilgrims Rest etc. That was in 1874 and like many other diggers, he wondered about and eventually discovered alluvial gold on the farm Blaaubank near Rustenburg. Fred Struben was the son of a Dutch naval officer who arrived in South Africa in the 1850s, and he disembarked in Cape Town with a thirst for adventure.

I'm working with a practitioner and have tested for candida and am on the CBO protocol currently. We're getting ready to test for hormone imbalances next week but I'm fairly sure I have Imbalances. I have heavy cycles and low iron as well with the headaches being mainly the first weekish of the cycle. Jason: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've dealt with tonsil stones and hemmrhoids for quite some time. I know I have sibo, dysbiosis, and some yeast/fungal overgrowth. Working on those as well. Wondering if you can explain why these are happening and what I can do for them apart from the CBO. Thanks! Emily: My MIL has high levels of Lipoprotien(a) 232. Her LDL levels are in a good range. She is currenly taking the statin Crestor which is hydrophilic. The RYR is a more natural form but seems to be a lipophilic statin. Her worry is that lipophilic statins crosses the blood brain barrier. Could you please explain this and if this should be of great concern? Would it be better for someone to take a hydrophilic statin vs RYR? Dana: Asked this on the Facebook page and was advised to ask here. My husband and I are currently doing CBO protocol. Before starting that my husband started getting unusually exhausted after moderate exercise, 50 years old and has always been active, no known health issues. Moderate activity now wipes him out for the rest of the day, this is unusual for him. Recently went to PCP who did blood work and found ALP levels over 450, tested again to rule out lab error and it was about 10 points higher. Has had heart ultrasound and stress test, both normal. Will be getting abdominal ultrasound next week to check liver, etc. If ok, probably bones next. Wondering if CBO protocol dieoff could contribute to high ALP? Live in a country where we can't do mail lab testing. Advice on what else to check for? Brent: Hi Dr. Cabral, I ran labs years ago and was recommended the cbo with C drops and finisher. Labs showed no parasites at that time. During the cbo i started to see some progress in my digestion and other areas but once I started month 3 I started to notice acid reflux symptoms like a swollen throat and shortness of breath that worsened at night. (symptoms I've had for many years that returned). I thought it was because of changes to my gut microbiome and continued on to the cbo finisher and the problems only got worse to the point that I had to stop the protocols. I can only assume that somewhere along the line due to stress or poor food combining or not eating strict enough that I ended up causing sibo while trying to fix it. Can't think of any other reasons for my situation. Plz help ty.

God gives to people talents and gifts and opportunities as He sees fit. And He holds us accountable for what we have been given, proportionately to how we have been blessed and favored. Today, we will look briefly at some of the people in the Bible who were blessed and whether or not they rose to the level of how they had been blessed.Luke 12:47-48 KJVAnd that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.Moderate potential, Squandered opportunities•Prodigal son•Hophni & Phineas•Thief on the Cross #1•Received one TalentModerate potential, Maximized outcome•Rahab•Samuel•Jeremiah•Thief on the Cross #2High potential, Squandered opportunities•Nadab & Abihu•Samson•Solomon•Rich Young RulerHigh potential, Maximized outcome•Joseph•Moses•Daniel•John the BaptistRelated Podcasts:— Derailed from your Destiny— Having the Right Perspective— The Foreknowledge Conundrum— The Sanctification of King Nebuchadnezzar— Lessons from the Life of Naaman the leper— Lessons from the Book of Job #1— Lessons from the Book of Job #2— Answered of the Lord, Part 1— Answered of the Lord, Part 2— What Doest Thou Here, Elijah?— Lessons from the Book of Jonah— Lessons from the Life of King HezekiahRelated Podcasts at TrueWisdom:— Who is Predestined?— Teach Me Thy Statutes— The Covetousness of Achan— Using Scripture to Beat the DevilText UsSupport the showSend questions or comments to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comThe Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.

What would the ultimate Walt Disney World resort look like if we could mix and match the best features from every Disney resort? In this episode, we're taking on the ultimate Disney Resort Draft Challenge to find out. Using a snake draft format, we each build our dream resort by selecting from categories including location, overall theme, lobby, standard room, pool, quick service restaurant, table service restaurant, lounge, transportation, and recreation. But there are plenty of twists along the way. We each receive a one-time Steal Card that can completely change the outcome of the draft, while a randomly assigned Forced Pick means every resort—even Value and Moderate resorts—has a chance to shine. To keep things balanced, we're also required to include at least one Value Resort selection and one Moderate Resort selection in our final resort. Throughout the draft, we explain the reasoning behind every pick, debate what makes each resort element special, and do our best to convince each other—and you—that our choices create the ultimate Disney vacation destination. Whether you're dreaming about your next stay, planning a future trip, or simply love talking Disney resorts, this episode is packed with strategy, friendly competition, Disney debates, and plenty of opportunities to play along and decide whose resort you'd book first.

This week, we're crowning the best moderate resort at Walt Disney World. Caribbean Beach, Port Orleans Riverside/French Quarter, and Coronado Springs/Gran Destino Tower go head-to-head across the categories that matter most: transportation, theming, rooms, dining, pools, amenities, value, and a few highly subjective bonus points. Is the Skyliner enough to push Caribbean Beach to the top? Does Port Orleans win on charm, peaceful vibes, and beignets? Or does Coronado Springs, with Gran Destino Tower, standout lounges, and that “moderate-plus” feel, take the crown? From fifth sleeper rooms to bus loops, resort size, food options, and overall value, we break down which Disney moderate resort gives families the best stay.

Introduction Dr. Arreaza: Hello, everyone, today we continue with our series about sleep. I invite you to listen to Moira Wilson on Episodes 220 and 221 about the approach of insomnia and CBT-I in adults. Today we will discuss not only what to do, but also why it works. We frequently hear advice like ‘get more sleep,' but we need to dig deeper into the physiology behind it. So, Dr. Kim and Dr. Carlisle are here to briefly explain the physiology of sleep and what we can do to support better sleep. But before we start, let's welcome Dr. Carlisle, who recently matched to our program. He will start his residency soon, and Dr. Kim, who will soon become a PGY2, welcome doctors. Dr. Carlisle: [Introduce yourself]. Dr. Kim: [Introduce yourself]. Dr. Arreaza: Let's start simple. Why does sleep matter clinically? Why Sleep Matters Dr. Kim: Sleep is one of the most important biological processes we have. It's not passive; it's highly active and tightly regulated. It affects cognition, metabolism, immune function, cardiovascular health, and hormonal balance. When sleep is disrupted, you see downstream effects in almost every organ system. Dr. Carlisle: Yeah, and one thing I always emphasize is that sleep deprivation isn't just about feeling tired. It actually puts you in a physiologic state that's very similar to being intoxicated. There are studies showing that being awake for about 24 hours can impair cognitive performance to a level comparable to being above the legal driving limit for alcohol. Dr. Arreaza: That's actually kind of scary when you think about it. Dr. Carlisle: It really is. Another way to think about it is sleep deprivation doesn't just make you slower; it actually changes how you make decisions. People become more impulsive and less risky. And in medicine, we see that translates into increased medical errors, decreased attention, and poor decision-making. So, from a clinical standpoint, sleep isn't optional; it's foundational. Dr. Kim: Delay caffeine (but not too late), avoid alcohol, and focus on behavioral strategies (put away your phone 1 hour before bedtime). Dr. Carlisle: And sleep is the foundation of performance. If sleep is off, everything else is compensating. Dr. Kim: And even beyond cognition, even one night of poor sleep can impair immune function and shift hormones that regulate hunger, which is why people tend to crave more food when they're sleep deprived. Dr. Arreaza: I think it's wise to dispel the myth of the “Russian Sleep Experiment”, have you heard about it? Dr. Carlile-Dr Kim: [reaction] Dr. Arreaza: The “Russian Sleep Experiment” is an internet horror story claiming Soviet scientists kept prisoners awake for several weeks using a gas. They developed extreme paranoia, violence, and self-mutilation. Then, the experiment got out of control, the subjects became unrecognizable, they refused to sleep, continued to deteriorate, and went insane. Even though the story went viral in 2010, it is fictional (reaction), with no real evidence that it really happened. So, it is just a made-up horror story. But there are some real studies about sleep deprivation in humans. Dr Kim: Yes, the most famous case was Randy Gardner (1964) who stayed awake for 11 days. He developed hallucinations, memory problems, and mood changes. He recovered after sleep (no permanent “madness”). Dr. Carlisle: Sure, but as I mentioned before, even one night without sleep significantly reduces performance and accuracy. Dr. Kim: Another myth we fall into is “catching up on sleep”. It is a myth! Sleep Architecture Dr. Arreaza: Sleeping is a state when you reset your brain and your energy, but what actually happens during sleep? Dr. Carlisle: Sleep cycles between non-REM and REM stages. Non-REM sleep, especially deep, slow-wave sleep, is where physical restoration happens. That's when you get growth hormone release, tissue repair, and metabolic recovery. Dr. Kim: And one of the most fascinating things is what happens in the brain during that deep sleep. The space between brain cells actually expands, which allows cerebrospinal fluid to circulate and clear out metabolic waste. Dr. Carlisle: That's the glymphatic system. And what's interesting is that this clearance is most active during deep sleep (Stage 3, Delta waves). It clears neurotoxins like beta amyloid, which is one reason chronic sleep deprivation is linked to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Arreaza: So, your brain is basically cleaning itself while you sleep. The “glymphatic system” is relatively new. It was described in 2010, and it clears substances like beta-amyloid, which is linked to Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. Then REM sleep is more focused on brain function. That's where memory consolidation, emotional processing, and learning really happen. Dr. Kim: And REM sleep tends to occur more in the second half of the night. So, when people cut their sleep short, they lose a lot of that REM sleep, which affects mood, focus, and overall cognitive function. What Drives Sleep Dr. Arreaza: So, what actually makes us feel sleepy? Dr. Kim: There are two main processes. The first is the homeostatic drive, where adenosine builds up in the brain the longer you're awake, creating sleep pressure. Dr. Carlisle: And the second is your circadian rhythm, which is controlled by your brain's internal clock and influenced mainly by light exposure. Dr. Arreaza: So, in summary, one process depends on how long you've been awake, and the other process depends on your body's own timing. Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. I think of it as pressure and timing. Adenosine builds pressure, and your circadian rhythm determines when that pressure gets released. Dr. Kim: And when those two systems are aligned, sleep happens naturally. When they're out of sync, that's when people start having issues. Morning Routine Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about practical tips. The morning seems to be a key element in our sleep. What can we do in the mornings to help us sleep at night? Dr. Carlisle: Morning sunlight, without a doubt. Getting light exposure within the first 30 to 60 minutes of waking helps anchor your circadian rhythm. Dr. Kim: And outdoor light is much stronger than indoor light, even on cloudy days. Dr. Carlisle: The mechanism is that light activates specialized retinal cells that signal your brain's clock. That sets the timing for cortisol release in the morning and melatonin release later at night. Dr. Kim: And it also increases dopamine early in the day, which helps with mood, motivation, and focus. Dr. Carlisle: So, you're not just waking up; you're setting up your entire day's physiology. Caffeine and Hydration Dr. Arreaza: Light exposure; I like the idea. That's why phototherapy works for any kind of depression, not only seasonal depression. What other suggestions can you give us about our morning routine? Dr. Carlisle: Hydration first thing in the morning helps restore plasma volume and improve alertness since we're mildly dehydrated overnight. Dr. Kim: It is also a good idea to add electrolytes to the water. And caffeine timing is huge. If you drink it right when you wake up, you're interfering with your natural adenosine cycle. Dr. Carlisle: Exactly. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors, but it doesn't remove adenosine. So later in the day, when caffeine wears off, all that built-up adenosine hits at once, and that's what causes the crash. And that's why some people feel wired but still tired because the underlying sleep pressure is still there, just being masked by the caffeine. Dr. Arreaza: So, what should people do instead? (I say people because I personally don't drink coffee, and occasionally I drink caffeine) Dr. Kim: People should wait about 60 to 90 minutes before having caffeine. Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Colorado Outdoors - the Podcast for Colorado Parks and Wildlife
Summer is in full swing, and anglers across Colorado are looking for opportunities to set a hook into the mouth of a fish across the state's incredible array of lakes, rivers and small streams. But with the state facing a historic drought, there is a lot for anglers to keep in mind.In this episode of the Colorado Outdoors podcast, we sit down with CPW Assistant Director Matt Nicholl, who oversees the Aquatic Wildlife Branch, as well as Josh Nehring, CPW's Deputy Assistant Director of the Aquatic Branch, to talk about all matters fishing in Colorado for 2026. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor released on June 4, 2026, all 64 counties in Colorado are currently experiencing at least Abnormally Dry conditions, while nearly 93% of the state is in Moderate to Exceptional Drought. Following the lowest snowpack accumulation season on record, May 1 streamflow forecasts projected runoff ranging from only 21% to 37% of median across Colorado river basins. Additionally, this water year (October 2025 - Present) has been the warmest on record in Colorado, contributing to early snowmelt, extremely low river flows, diminished soil moisture conditions and elevated wildfire risk statewide. This has an impact on anglers and may make many who hold a 2026 Colorado fishing license rethink areas they traditionally like to fish.Fishing in mornings or evenings when water temperatures are cooler will not only lead to better fish health but also more angler success. And not pressuring fisheries especially impacted by the drought will also benefit the long-term health of aquatic life.Hear our expert's tips on how to still have a great fishing season across Colorado despite the drought conditions and learn more about CPW's fisheries management in this new episode.Podcast hosted by Regional Public Information Officers John Livingston and Kara Van Hoose. Podcast edited by Meghan Lopez. Art19 is the host platform, and people can also find the podcast online at https://art19.com/shows/colorado-outdoors
With the attempted beheading in Belfast and other heinous crimes from 3rd world migrants here and in Europe, mass migration is again coming to the forefront. The perception is that mass migration is cruel and terrible. But the truth is, government-led mass deportations are the moderate option. We should take this action while we still can.

If you've ever wondered what a greatest hits collection consisting entirely of "AH-WAH-AH-AH-AH" sounds like, congratulations, your dream has arrived.We also discuss Rod Stewart's health issues, Frankie Valli finally canceling tour dates at age 92, and whether somebody should gently escort certain performers toward a comfortable pool chair and a nice afternoon nap.Ever wonder if your marriage can survive an overbearing mother-in-law, a 45-minute commute, and an AI girlfriend who always texts back? The gang dives headfirst into one of the most relatable relationship landmines on Earth: in-laws. From boundary issues and family dynamics to holiday stress and the delicate art of telling your parents to mind their own business, the crew shares personal stories about navigating marriage without accidentally starting a family civil war.Lern opens up about the difference between growing up in a loud, confrontational family versus marrying into a conflict-avoidant one. Scott flexes his surprisingly impressive relationship with his mother-in-law. Rizz explains how cultural differences, strong personalities, and family expectations can create tension even when everybody genuinely loves each other. It's relationship therapy... if your therapist occasionally gets distracted by fart jokes.Then things get statistical.The crew breaks down research on what actually predicts divorce. Expensive weddings? Bad sign. Long commutes? Not helping. Smoking habits, family history, education levels, age at marriage, and even church attendance all make the list. Some of the findings make sense. Some are surprising. And some spark a debate about whether staying married and staying happily married are actually the same thing.Of course, because this is a daily comedy show, the conversation quickly pivots into the glorious luxuries of being single. Sleeping diagonally. Ordering whatever food you want. Leaving cake untouched in the refrigerator. Taking naps without explanation. Buying appliances without committee approval. And perhaps most importantly, enjoying unrestricted household fart privileges.Things get even weirder when Harvard research enters the chat with findings about prostate health that leave the room simultaneously educated and uncomfortable. Just when you think the show can't possibly get more ridiculous, an AI company starts hiring "masturbation consultants" for product testing, and everyone collectively questions what timeline we're currently living in.Finally, the gang tackles the rapidly growing world of AI romance. Is having an AI girlfriend cheating? Is it harmless? Is it just a glorified Tamagotchi with emotional support features? Nobody has a definitive answer, but everyone has concerns. The debate turns into one of the most fascinating discussions of the episode as the crew explores loneliness, technology, relationships, and whether AI companionship is helping people or quietly replacing human connection.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Denver International Airport to build pedestrian walkways between concoursesThe 1 Undiscussed Illness That Spikes During The Summer, According To DoctorsWorrying new bullying trend emerging in school cafeterias, mental health experts warnYou can now get paid $2K a month to be an AI 'masturbation consultant'Walmart 30-minute-or-less delivery now available in St. Louis marketFlorida Taco Bell Keep Your 'Chimichanga' to Yourself ...

Addressing public fear, AI Valley uses historical analogies to argue for moderate regulation to build trust. Gary Rivlincompares AI to the automobile; early cars lacked seatbelts and killed thousands, yet society did not revert to horse-and-buggy travel. Similarly, 19th-century railroads only gained public confidence once government standards ensured safety and reliability. Currently, most Americans remain fearful of AI, making policy debates essential for building long-term trust in the technology. Rivlin also highlights the geopolitical dimension, noting China's goal to dominate AI by 2030. He argues society should focus on immediate dangers, such as autonomous AI in warfare, rather than Hollywood-style scenarios. (4/8)1902 LA
Wondering how I stopped drinking after trying to moderate for years? "Have I got a story for you!" says Michele. She ran a business, raised her daughter, kept things moving — and drank every night in a relationship where no one questioned it. Then the pandemic stripped away her structure, her purpose, and everything that had kept things manageable. She tried cutting back. She tried understanding it. Nothing stuck — until This Naked Mind gave her something willpower alone never could: a real understanding of what alcohol was doing to her, and the freedom to simply stop wanting it. Michele and Coach Cole discuss: How a functional habit quietly grew through a painful breakup, pandemic isolation, and lost purpose Why Michele spent her first year using This Naked Mind while still trying to moderate — and what finally changed The hospitalization that became her line in the sand How This Naked Mind helped her understand what alcohol was actually doing to her body and brain How shame became the thing that made drinking impossible to continue Reframing her hardest moments as the reason her daughter now has a fully present mom ADHD, generational patterns, and why "why can I stop sometimes but not others?" finally has an answer And more on identity, community, and what it means to find your own path to alcohol freedom… Episode links: nakedmindpath.com Related Episodes: Is Drinking In Moderation Possible? | Reader Question | EP 08 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-08-reader-question-moderation-possible/ Using Alcohol To Treat Adult ADHD | Amy's Naked Life | EP800 - https://thisnakedmind.com/using-alcohol-to-treat-adult-adhd-amys-naked-life-e800/ I use alcohol to be a better wife and mother | Reader Question | EP 238 - https://thisnakedmind.com/ep-238-reader-question-i-use-alcohol-to-be-a-better-wife-and-mother/ Ready to take the next step on your journey?

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, we begin with audio from Stephen A. Smith loudly proclaiming that he's a "Moderate", begging the question "what is a Moderate?"

Also a Democratic Op-ed from Bill Crystal, audio from Bill Maher on antisemitism and shipping giants FedEx and UPS say they will pass through tariff refunds to customers.

A Note from James:What is actually going on in Iran?I have Brandon Webb on the show today. He's a former Navy SEAL, he's written a ton of books about the military and life in the military, then he wrote a murder mystery series set in the military, and now he has a parenting book out.Brandon also runs SOFREP.com, a major military intelligence news site. He came on for a quick episode to answer the big question: what is actually happening in Iran, and what might happen next?Episode Description:In this fast-moving topical episode, James talks with former Navy SEAL and SOFREP founder Brandon Webb about Iran, regime instability, the Strait of Hormuz, and how modern military power is being used differently than it was in Iraq and Afghanistan.Brandon argues that the top levels of Iran's leadership have been badly disrupted, creating confusion about who is actually in charge and who the U.S. or Israel could negotiate with. From his perspective, that leadership vacuum creates two possible outcomes: either a moderate power center emerges inside the regime, or Iran's already strained economy worsens and the population rises up again.The conversation also tackles the biggest fear many listeners may have: whether this turns into another long, grinding U.S. nation-building project. Brandon's answer is no. He sees this as a different kind of military and intelligence operation—less about occupying territory, more about using special operations, air dominance, intelligence networks, and local opposition pressure.What makes this episode useful is that it cuts through the broad panic and gives listeners a clear framework: leadership disruption, economic pressure, domestic unrest, proxy networks, energy markets, and the question of whether Iran's regime can still hold itself together.What You'll Learn:Why Brandon thinks Iran's leadership disruption is the key fact driving everything else.The two outcomes he sees as most likely: a moderate negotiator emerging or a popular uprising.Why he does not think this becomes Iraq-style nation-building.How Iran's proxy network shapes the conflict beyond Iran's borders.Why the Strait of Hormuz threat may matter less than it would have decades ago.How Brandon thinks special operations and intelligence support may define the next phase of modern warfare.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] A Note from James: what is actually happening in Iran?[02:33] Brandon's two most likely outcomes[02:35] Leadership disruption inside Iran[03:28] The Strait of Hormuz as Iran's “ace” card[04:00] Why the nuclear issue matters[04:51] Economic pressure and oil sales[05:08] Why civilians may be hesitant to rise up again[05:32] Moderate regime figure or popular uprising?[06:00] Why Brandon sees Iran as a long-standing threat[06:23] Iran's proxies in Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza[06:51] Who is actually in charge inside Iran?[07:41] What a leadership vacuum might look like[08:19] CIA, Mossad, and opposition support[09:55] Is this another Iraq?[10:14] Brandon's view of modern military force[10:45] Venezuela as a case study[11:48] Regime change vs. nation-building[12:20] Strait of Hormuz, oil prices, and infrastructure risk[12:41] Why Brandon thinks oil disruption may be manageable[13:30] Alternative oil flows and pressure on China[14:02] James summarizes Brandon's view[14:36] Why Brandon thinks this is not a boots-on-the-ground war[15:26] What Afghanistan should have taught the U.S.[16:00] Dubai, UAE, and regional risk[16:36] Why Iran may have targeted the UAE[17:12] Closing thoughtsAdditional Resources:SOFREP, the military and foreign policy news site Brandon Webb runs as editor-in-chief.
