In a world quick to prescribe electrical violence to the brain under the guise of “treatment,” it is a profound relief—and a moral imperative—to sit down with one of the clearest voices challenging this relic of psychiatric barbarism. On The Breggin Hour, my husband Peter Breggin and I spoke at length with Professor John Read, a clinical psychologist from the University of East London whose work has helped pierce the veil of denial surrounding electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Professor Read is no outsider throwing stones. He comes from the heart of the clinical psychology establishment, yet he has become one of its most formidable critics on ECT. His recent international survey—the largest ever, with 1,100 participants from 44 countries—gives voice to the lived reality of those who have endured this procedure. The findings are damning. What the Largest ECT Survivor Survey Reveals The research team, which included ECT survivors like our colleague Sarah Hancock, asked hard questions about efficacy, memory loss, and informed consent. The results: On five different measures of effectiveness, the “majority” of recipients reported “no improvement” or that their condition was “made worse”. Two-thirds experienced significant memory loss—both retrograde (losing past memories) and anterograde (inability to form new ones). For most, this persisted for at least three years, which in practical terms means it is often permanent. The vast majority were not adequately informed about these risks. Neither were their families. Women continue to receive ECT at twice the rate of men, with 82% of the psychiatrists administering it being male—an observation that raises uncomfortable questions about power, empathy, and whose distress we choose to “treat” with electricity. These are not abstract statistics. They represent shattered lives, erased memories, and families left picking up the pieces. As Peter has long documented, ECT is essentially a closed-head electrical lobotomy that exceeds OSHA safety thresholds for electrical brain injury. The brain is not “reset”—it is traumatized. Professor Read put it plainly: we are inducing grand mal seizures in people while another branch of medicine works desperately to prevent them. The original 1930s theory—that schizophrenia and epilepsy were mutually exclusive, so inducing seizures could cure the former—was bizarre even then. That we continue this practice ninety years later, with so little rigorous evidence, is a scandal. Legal Victories: Hitting Them Where It Hurts  Professor Read has served as an expert witness in key cases that are finally forcing accountability. In a 2023 Florida jury trial, manufacturer Somatics was found liable for failing to adequately warn about brain damage and permanent memory loss. A 2024 California case against individual psychiatrists and a psychiatric center—alleging negligence, fraud, malpractice, and battery—settled just before trial after surviving all dismissal attempts. MECTA, another major manufacturer, has filed for bankruptcy amid mounting litigation and withdrawn its Spectrum device, only to introduce a near-identical “Sigma” model. The industry adapts, but the human cost remains. Peter shared his own observations from decades of work, including the first successful ECT malpractice case (Salters, 2005). He described the visible horror: patients emerging confused, amnesic, and disoriented—much like victims of repeated concussions. This is traumatic brain injury, period. The temporary “euphoria” some experience is often the brain's response to injury, not genuine healing. The Deeper Problem: Over-Medicalization of Human Suffering  John Read situates ECT within a larger tragedy—the reduction of complex human distress to a purely biological problem solvable by pills or electricity. Poverty, trauma, abuse, loneliness, and loss are pushed aside while white coats reach for the shock machine. Many psychiatrists, he notes, lack the skills or willingness to sit with profound emotional pain, especially in women and older patients. This resonates deeply with our work exposing psychiatric harm. Whether antidepressants, antipsychotics, or ECT, the pattern is the same: interventions that promise quick fixes but deliver dependency, disability, and despair. The public understands that life circumstances drive mental suffering. Too many professionals still do not.  A Call to Survivors, Families, and Truth-Seekers  If you or a loved one has been harmed by ECT, know that you are not alone. Professor Read's survey papers are open access—search “John Read ECT survey” to read them directly. Share your story. Support organizations fighting for informed consent and bans on this outdated practice. We must demand real informed consent, rigorous science, and an end to the normalization of brain damage as “therapy.” Peter and I continue this fight because human rights do not end at the psychiatrist's door. The brain is not a machine to be jolted into submission. Listen to the full conversation on The Breggin Hour (available on America Out Loud and major podcast platforms). Professor Read's humility, clarity, and dedication shine through. We are grateful for his partnership in this long struggle and look forward to future collaborations.

The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) is expanding its DevSecOps research to explore how artificial intelligence can support software development and security workflows. Michael Ogata, a computer scientist at NIST, discussed how AI and large language models are being applied to coding, testing, security evaluation and vulnerability remediation. He also outlined NIST's emerging focus on agentic AI, including how organizations can establish identities and credentials for AI agents, authorize their actions and ensure those actions remain traceable to accountable human users.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Sean Pauzauskie, author of the book Stage of Fools. Sean Pauzauskie, M.D., is a hospital neurologist in the University of Colorado system, where he conducts clinical research employing neurotechnology, primarily for the optimization of epilepsy management. He is an active member of the American Academy of Neurology and The American Medical Association, and his research experience includes time at The National Institute of Mental Health, The Energy and Commerce Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Kaufmann Foundation for entrepreneurship. He is also a member of the American Academy of Neurology's Palatucci Advocacy Leadership Forum, a highly competitive program that selects 30 out of 40,000 members to develop and implement action plans on advocacy issues related to neuroscience. He is president-elect of the Colorado Medical Society.   As a clinician who works daily with comatose patients, Sean brings scientific authenticity to his literary exploration of cognitive-motor dissociation—a condition where patients remain mentally aware while physically unresponsive.   In my book review, I stated Stage of Fools is a literary fiction by Sean Pauzauskie. We quickly meet Thomas Mariner, a billionaire who appears to have it all - until an unfortunate fishing accident leaves him in a coma in a San Francisco ICU.   The entire story is in the mind of Thomas while he is in a coma and flashbacks to his childhood and early adulthood. Despite his fortune and fame, Thomas has demons, and these demons have created problems in his family. His hope? To figure things out, make the needed changes, and save them from what he set in motion due to jealousy, his ego, and rash actions.   I think what is most interesting is that the author is a neurologist. He offers a lot of information to help us understand what it might be like inside a brain during a coma. And for Thomas, his obsession with the play, King Lear, shows up throughout.   I found the novel interesting and thought-provoking with an ending I didn't expect.     Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   You can follow Author Sean Pauzauskie Website: https://seanpauzauskie.com/ Social media: IG: @seanpauzauskie LinkedIn: @sean-pauzauskie FB: @sean.pauzauskie   Purchase Stage of Fools on Amazon: Paperback: Hardback: https://amzn.to/4pcLB3A Ebook: https://amzn.to/44WBcQe   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

//The Wire//2100Z August 27, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CAR BOMB KILLS COLONEL IN RUSSIA. IRAN STRIKES TANKER IN HORMUZ. LARGE-SCALE CYBERATTACKS TARGET AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: Overnight, Iran struck another tanker vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. The vessel has been identified as the M/T AL SALAM II, a Kuwaiti-owned tanker attempting to exit the Gulf.Analyst Comment: Claims are circulating that Iran conducted this strike using underwater drones, similarly to claims that were made last week regarding Iran using underwater drones to conduct attacks. There is no way to verify this either way, but if true, this would be the second such attack on a vessel this month.Russia: This morning an assassination was carried out in St. Petersburg, which took the form of an IED exploding inside the vehicle of a Russian Air Force Lieutenant Colonel. The man (who has not yet been identified) was killed instantly, and his wife remains in critical condition following the blast.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Within the United States, various federal databases have been hacked by malign actors, including the systems used by high-level government agencies. The DoJ alleged that the Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company was responsible for compromising the systems used by the Federal Reserve, three different National Laboratories, the National Institute of Health, and several other unnamed agencies. On the same day, the ATF also disclosed that systems related to their gun registries were breached. The Chinese hacking group Qilin posted the ransomware disclosure on their website, claiming to have a trove of unspecified documents that they stole from the ATF.These confirmed cyberattacks continue the trend that has been building over the past few weeks. From the cyberattacks on water treatment facilities a couple of weeks ago, to federal agencies being hacked in undisclosed ways, the war on the cyber front is palpable. This cyberwarfare has not been confined to the United States either; at the exact same time that unknown hackers were taking out the water infrastructure in Minnesota, the United Kingdom reported that one of their power plants was hacked and taken offline for a total of four days. This afternoon, Manchester Airport Group announced that another major cyberattack has breached the data of over 8.7 million customers who traveled through three airports in the U.K.As the United States and Iran continue their latest stage of the war, and Russia and Ukraine continue their war, these cyberattacks are probably going to get a lot worse, both in the scale of what systems are affected, but also the types of targets selected. So far, none of the groups engaging in cyberattacks have demonstrated any hesitancy to avoid targeting civilian targets...these groups on all sides will exploit any vulnerability they find, particularly to target a civilian populace. As civilian critical infrastructure around the world remains vastly more vulnerable than government networks...when those government networks themselves are constantly proven to not be safe, much softer targets are very likely to be impacted more severely as global tensions continue.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Dr. Paule Valery Joseph is a tenured Senior Investigator at the National Institutes of Health, where she leads the Section of Sensory Science and Metabolism and co-directs the NIH National Smell and Taste Center. Born in Guatire, Venezuela to Haitian professionals, she came to the United States alone at sixteen, finding her footing first in Miami and later in New Jersey. Her journey began humbly — at Hostos Community College in the Bronx, where she earned her first nursing degree — and reached all the way to a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, alongside a family nurse practitioner degree and an executive MBA. She speaks of adversity and opposition not as things that break us but as forces that shape us “at a cellular level,” a conviction deepened by watching her home country's turbulence during the Chávez years from afar. Her NIH career began, fittingly, with an internship. Today she is a leading authority on the science of smell and taste — and how these senses shape metabolism, memory, and health — a power she knows firsthand, having once teared up at the aroma of a classic Venezuelan dish far from home.

In this episode, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy for a wide-ranging conversation on cancer prevention and the factors she believes influence long-term health. Dr. Connealy shares her perspective on why cancer should be approached as a whole-body problem, exploring the roles of nutrition, metabolic health, environmental toxins, sleep, stress, hormones, and mitochondrial function. They also discuss fasting and ketogenic diets, cancer screening, GLP-1 medications, aspirin, peptides, medicinal mushrooms, IV vitamin C, and other integrative approaches, along with Dr. Connealy's concerns about conventional screening and treatment practices. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes individualized care and looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the broader conditions affecting each patient.   Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy is a medical doctor with four decades of experience who takes a prevention-focused, whole-person approach to health, longevity, and complex chronic disease. Her work spans human optimization through advanced conditions including cancer, dementia, autoimmune disease, and Parkinson's, with an emphasis on identifying and addressing factors that may interfere with the body's ability to function optimally. Her approach was shaped in part by her own health journey after learning that she had been exposed before birth to DES (diethylstilbestrol), which led her to undergo ongoing evaluations at MD Anderson and explore medicine beyond conventional symptom-based care. Over her career, she has incorporated individualized laboratory assessment, natural hormones, nutrition, peptides, and other integrative strategies while emphasizing what she describes as "creating health" rather than simply treating a diagnosis.    [The Cancer Revolution] — Leigh Erin Connealy, MD / Hachette Book Group https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/leigh-erin-connealy/the-cancer-revolution/9780306836688/ [Be Perfectly Healthy] — Leigh Erin Connealy, MD / Perfectly Healthy https://perfectlyhealthy.com/products/be-perfectly-healthy-1 [Celluverse Podcast] — Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, Alannah Connealy & Jess Donovan https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/celluverse/id1836455844 [Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy Instagram — @connealymd] — Leigh Erin Connealy, MD https://www.instagram.com/connealymd/ [Cologuard Plus] — Exact Sciences Corporation https://www.cologuard.com/resources [QTI Breast Acoustic CT Scanner] — QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. https://www.qtimaging.com/breast-acoustic-ct-scanner/ [UT MD Anderson Cancer Center] — The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center https://www.mdanderson.org/ [Eminence Organic Skin Care — Sun Care] — Eminence Organic Skin Care https://eminenceorganics.com/us/face/sun-care [Primally Pure Sunscreen] — Primally Pure https://primallypure.com/pages/sunscreen [COOLA Sunscreen] — COOLA https://coola.com/collections/sunscreen   Show Notes 00:00 Welcome to the Hart2Heart Podcast 01:07 Root Cause Medicine 02:29 Is Cancer Preventable 05:42 Biggest Risk Factors 09:51 Toxins And Detox Testing 12:26 Sweating And Detox Baths 00:00 Doctors Not Listening 16:58 Does Sugar Feed Cancer 22:37 Fasting And Keto Strategies 26:05 Mushrooms And Supplements 27:21 Thiamine And Nutrient Gaps 29:35 Hormones And Cancer Risk 35:42 Complete Hormone Panels 38:02 GLP-1s and Cancer Risk 39:18 Daily Aspirin Debate 41:12 Peptides to Avoid 43:20 Russian Peptides Cycling 45:43 Non Toxic Sunscreen Choices 47:14 Deodorants and Aluminum 48:18 AirPods and Brain Health 50:26 Cancer Screening Strategy 54:30 Breast Imaging Options 56:05 Biopsy Spread Concerns 58:09 Why Medicine Misses Prevention 01:01:55 Personal DES Cancer Journey 01:03:10 IV Vitamin C for Cancer 01:04:26 Where to Follow and Book   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

Despite being the most studied supplement of all time, creatine is making a big resurgence. That's why we decided to rebroadcast this highly informative episode, that is more relevant now, than when it was originally posted. It's been the hot topic in the health podcast space, as new scientific evidence is showing creatine is about more than looking big, but has big and important effects on brain health and overall longevity. But, like all things, creatine needs to be handled with care. It needs to be the right type, at the right dose, at the right times, with the right movement and for the right person. That's why it was fundamentally important for me to get a true creatine expert on the show, Dr Darren Candow.Dr. Darren Candow is a professor specializing in exercise physiology, nutrition, and aging. He supervises the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory, where the primary research focus is to develop effective lifestyle interventions involving nutrition—primarily creatine monohydrate—and physical activity, particularly resistance training. These interventions aim to improve muscle, bone, and brain health and function, with both practical and clinical relevance. To date, Dr. Candow has published over 120 peer-reviewed journal articles, supervised more than 20 MSc/PhD students, and secured research funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Nutricia Research Foundation.Join us as we explore:Everything about creatine!

We don't talk enough about how hard it actually is to build a healthcare startup. Behind SmarterDx's story, now one of the biggest health AI exits to date, were 18 months without a single customer, a pivot that seemed to make no product sense, and two co-founders who went back to working as hospitalists just to get by.In this episode, Steve gets the real story from Dr. Michael Gao and Dr. Joshua Geleris about the challenges they faced and what ultimately unlocked real growth and led to their billion+ acquisition by New Mountain Capital.We cover:Why their first product idea failed and what customer objections actually taught them to build insteadThe counterintuitive workflow that made contingency pricing possibleHow AI translation of clinical notes into billing codes now outperforms the average human, and what that means for coders and nursesWhy "moat" is the wrong metaphor and what a flywheel looks like insteadWhat they'd do differently in the acquisition processAbout our guests:Michael Gao, MD, the CEO and co-founder of SmarterDx. Prior to founding SmarterDx, Dr. Gao was the Medical Director for Transformation at NewYork-Presbyterian, where he led applied AI development, implementation, and strategy for the health system. Dr. Gao holds faculty positions at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Weill Cornell Medicine. Dr. Gao completed his internship and residency in Internal Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian.. He received his M.D. from the University of Michigan and a B.S from the University of California Los Angeles.Josh Geleris, MD, is the Head of Product and co-founder of SmarterDx. Prior to SmarterDx, he was Assistant Professor of Medicine at Columbia University, where he was funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense for clinical informatics and data science, and led implementation of Epic for providers. Dr. Geleris completed his MD at the Technion-Israeli Institute of Technology and his Internal Medicine internship and residency at NewYork-Presbyterian. ⸺

More cases of the livestock disease Bluetongue have prompted the Scottish Government to impose tighter movement restrictions. It's the first year the midge-borne disease has reached Scotland. There are fears it could disrupt the up-coming ram sales season which involves the movement of thousands of sheep. With the weather so unpredictable and extreme this year, we're taking a look this week at how we can grow food differently, or use different crops. We speak to a scientist at the National Institute for Agricultural Botony who says it's not just new varieties, but repurposing heritage crops. And we meet a sixteen year old in Northern Ireland who's come up with an app to help farmers manage their time better. Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Sally Challoner .

Our guest on this episode is Sam Biswas, Founder & CEO of Eiffel Industries, LLC, which focuses on structural engineering, construction, technology and global enterprise. Mark first worked with Sam a couple years ago during the creation of our PV Farms home in McCormick Ranch, a project that has won a handful of awards, but really got to know Sam recently during the bidding process of a new build project here in Scottsdale. He was amazed at the personal story and professional trajectory of Sam's life and knew he wanted to get him as a guest on our Inspiring Living podcast. Sam's story began in India, with Bengali family roots in West Bengal and formative chapters in Ranchi, Calicut and New Delhi. His father was an engineer and Sam earned his Bachelors in Civil Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Calicut, graduating as a gold medalist. His career began in New Delhi with Consulting Engineers Corp. when he was hired as a Project Engineer in 1997. During this time he moved to the United States with the company and over two decades later founded Eiffel Industries. Sam shares with us his vision for “resilient communities, responsible infrastructure, and human-centered spaces.” His diverse perspective, creative journey, and long-standing experience in engineering, architecture, and construction can bring meaningful value to the conversation.For photos and more about this episode and all of our past podcast episodes, visit: https://www.candelariadesign.com/inspiring-living-podcastAlso, visit our YouTube Channel to watch the video of our previous podcast guests along with many, many home walkthroughs, behind the scenes on Mark's design process, cooking classes led by Mark & Tiffany and our Lifestyle Tours!   https://www.youtube.com/@CandelariaDesign

A trove of newly released documents, colloquially known as the “Fauci Diaries,” offer an unusually revealing window into the decisions and dynamics that shaped the COVID-19 era.Jeffrey Tucker spent days reading all the documents—over 1,100 pages of materials—which were prepared within the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and appear to have been intended, at least in part, as the foundation for an autobiography.Tucker argues that these records offer key insights into what Dr. Anthony Fauci knew, when he knew it, and how that knowledge influenced public messaging and policy.We discuss the early push for an mRNA vaccine, the influential WHO delegation to China in February 2020, the origins and consequences of lockdown policies, and Fauci's relationship with the media.Why did so many countries adopt elements of China's COVID response? What do the documents reveal about the debate over the lab-leak theory? And why did the vaccination push intensify even as breakthrough infections became increasingly apparent?We also examine the clash between Fauci and President Donald Trump, the treatment of dissenting scientists behind the Great Barrington Declaration, and the broader question of how the official history of the pandemic will be written.Dr. Fauci did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Though the Federal High Court ruled in her favor, the Christian family that helped her is facing false charges of kidnapping. In 2025, “Sarah” fled from her home in Kano State after her elder siblings tried forcing her into an arranged marriage with a Muslim. While she was on the run, a Christian family took her in and shared the Gospel with her. Through the Abaras family's witness, she gave her life to Jesus Christ.  When her siblings learned of her conversion, they began working with the local Hisbah, the Islamic police force, to track her down and arrest her.  Police discovered her and detained her for four days, during which they beat her and pressured her to return home and accept the Muslim-arranged marriage. When she was released, the Abaras family helped her escape to a neighboring state with less Muslim influence. Please pray for Sarah's safety and that her Christian faith would grow stronger. According to Open Doors, Nigeria, Africa is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Ex-Fauci adviser pleads guilty to concealing COVID-19 origins On August 18th, Dr. Anthony Fauci's former senior adviser pleaded guilty to plotting to conceal federal records related to research on the origins of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, reports the Associated Press. Dr. David Morens is scheduled to be sentenced on November 12 by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Greenbelt, Maryland. Morens pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud the U.S. government, a felony punishable by a maximum prison sentence of five years. Morens is accused of using his private email account to intentionally circumvent public records laws while employed at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The Justice Department alleges that he concealed or destroyed records of discussions related to COVID-19 research grants, including an effort to revive a controversial coronavirus grant. The indictment follows a probe by House Republicans into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic that scrutinized Morens' email communications and accused him of intentionally concealing records. In congressional testimony, Morens denied attempting to evade federal transparency laws by using his personal email. Proverbs 12:22 says, “The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in people who are trustworthy.” Senator Darline Graham performed poorly in Senatorial run-off debate On August 19th, NewsMaxTV hosted the South Carolina GOP Senatorial run-off debate between Senator Darline Graham, who was appointed by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster in the wake of the death of her brother Lindsey Graham, and Congressman Ralph Norman. When Greta Van Susteren asked a foreign policy question, it was clear that Senator Darline was out of her depth. Listen. VAN SUSTEREN: “Senator [Graham], are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues for the United States? If so, why?” GRAHAM: “Um. I'm sorry. Could you repeat the question?” VAN SUSTEREN: “Are Taiwan and the South China Sea national security issues for the United States. And if so, why or how?” GRAHAM: “I'm just going to be honest here. I'm not on national security. I'm not that informed on national security. (audience boos and laughs) So, but I do support the military. My brother was in the Air Force for 33 years, so I will do everything I can to support the military. My dad was in the Army. “I'm not a polished politician up here. I'm … National security is not my thing, not my area of expertise. But I do support the military.” By contrast, Congressman Ralph Norman, her opponent in the South Carolina GOP Senatorial run-off, said this. NORMAN: “Taiwan's a definite ally. We have a trading relationship with them that is beneficial to the United States – [computer] chips being one of them, and others. “So, what the, what the president is doing right is he's enabling Taiwan to defend themselves against China. But it's peace through strength that he's showing with Iran that China, Russia, others are looking at it. They don't want to deal with America, and that's why they haven't attacked Taiwan. “If they had some weak Democrat in office, like Biden or another Obama, yeah, they'd take it over. But we can't let that happen. Peace through strength is working.” J.D. Vance believes Christian lifestyle suffices over verbal evangelism And finally, in a July 15th appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Vice President J.D. Vance, who converted to Catholicism from Protestantism, explained that he does not evangelize by word. VANCE: “You know, I don't preach to people. I don't, like, walk into the White House, tell my employees, ‘You know, you need to be, you need to follow Jesus as your Lord and Savior.' I just try to live my life in a way that hopefully makes people a little curious about what, you know, what motivates me and what inspires me.” Todd Friel, a reformed pastor in Atlanta, is the host of the Wretched Network which produces radio shows, TV shows, and books. He says the notion of wretched is at the very core of the Gospel because God saves wretches like us. Friel had this response to Vice President Vance. FRIEL:  “According to 1 Peter 3, that is true: We should live in such a way that it causes unbelievers, who are persecuting us, to ask about the reason for the hope that lies within us. That is most certainly true. “However, that is not the end of our responsibility. We are also called to make the most of every opportunity, to go and make disciples. It is our lifestyle that undergirds our confession, testimony, and evangelism. But a lifestyle is not evangelism itself.” Joe Rogan agreed with Vice President Vance. ROGAN: “I think living by example is probably the best promotion of any good way to live your life …” VANCE: “I agree.” ROGAN: “… whether it's Christianity or any other religion. I think that's definitely the way to do it.” Friel replied with this analysis. FRIEL: “It is a part of it. It does undergird our testimony, but how will they hear unless somebody preaches to them? In other words, evangelism requires words! Nobody can actually find a credible source of Saint Francis of Assisi, who said, ‘Share the Gospel, and if necessary, use words.' Well, it is necessary! Otherwise, you're just being a nice person.” Indeed, in Romans 10:14-15, the Apostle Paul asks, “How then will they call on Him in Whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of Whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News!'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 21st, in the year of our Lord 2026.

After a five-year hiatus, Dan Go returns to break down a sustainable approach to fat loss for busy people who do not have hours to spend in the gym. He explains why identifying the main physiological or psychological bottleneck—such as late-night eating, stress, grazing, or weekend overeating—can matter more than simply handing someone a meal plan. The conversation covers calorie tracking for awareness, protein and fiber for satiety, meal timing, restaurant strategies, preserving muscle with low-volume strength training, FFMI as an alternative to BMI, and a balanced view of GLP-1 medications that considers both their benefits and trade-offs. Dan Go is a fitness coach and entrepreneur whose work focuses on helping busy professionals, founders, and entrepreneurs improve their body composition, health, and performance through sustainable nutrition, behavior change, and efficient training. His coaching approach emphasizes identifying the specific habits, beliefs, and environmental factors that make fat loss difficult, then building practical systems and guardrails that clients can maintain long term. Rather than relying on extreme diets or high-volume workouts, he focuses on awareness, consistency, adequate protein, structured eating, and time-efficient strength training to help clients lose fat while preserving muscle.

Florida's primary election results are in, and the news is big. Byron Donalds, a congressman from Florida, has won the Republican nomination for governor, and his wife Erica is a powerhouse advocate for education freedom. But the real story out of Florida isn't about Byron Donalds' victory, it's about the rise of the Marxists in the Democrat Party. Alexander Vinman, the star witness in Donald Trump's impeachment trial, was expected to win the Democrat nomination for Senate, but he lost to a state legislator named Angie Nixon, who is a member of the Democrat Socialists of America. This episode of the podcast dives into the implications of these results and what they mean for the future of the country. Larry discusses the Democrat Party's shift towards Marxism and the consequences of this shift. They also talk about the importance of education freedom and how it can be a game-changer for families. With Byron Donalds' victory, Florida is poised to become a model for the rest of the nation on education freedom. The episode also touches on the story of David Morens, a former top advisor at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who has been charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Larry discusses the implications of this case and how it relates to the country's current state of affairs.Become a Townhall VIP member with promo code "LARRY": https://townhall.com/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Current geopolitical events continue to expose just how complex and fragile our global economic system is. As such, The Great Simplification team is re-releasing this episode with Ed Conway, which covers the deceptively critical materials that continue to underpin everything from the phone in your hand to the house that you live in.  In contrast to 'The Great Simplification', some might call the events of the last few hundred years a 'Great Complexification' in terms of relationships, governance, supply chains, and many other human activities. This conversation with economics journalist Ed Conway focuses on the six essential resources that underpin our modern economies –  sand, salt, iron, copper, oil, and lithium - and dives into the (often unseen) environmental and human costs of extracting them, as well as the surprisingly fragile global supply chains they fuel. In order to understand what possibilities – and dangers – may await us in the future, we need to understand the realities and constraints of the present, as well as the failure points of the past.  What does it take to mine, refine, and transform the materials that are foundational to the world around us – which many of us now take for granted? How can we ensure the stability of global supply chains, and could we predict potential disruptions and chokepoints before they arise? If we understood the intricate web of complexity, energy, and resources that go into everything we consume, would it change our expectations for how much we need in order to live a good and fulfilling life? (Conversation originally released June 12th, 2024 | Recorded on May 7th, 2024)   About Ed Conway: Ed Conway is the economics and data editor at Sky News, covering major UK and international economics, business and political stories. He has broken a series of exclusive reports on the banking and financial crisis. He is also economics columnist for The Times, and has been one of the longest-running economics editors in UK journalism, having started covering the sector in 2003. Prior to joining Sky, he was economics editor of The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph, where he was also a weekly op-ed columnist, and economics correspondent at the Daily Mail.  Ed is the author of the book on Bretton Woods, The Summit: The Biggest Battle Of The Second World War – Fought Behind Closed Doors and an economics guidebook, 50 Economics Ideas You Really Need to Know. His 2024 book Material World, was nominated as one of the Financial Times Book of the Year. Ed is a governor of the National Institute for Economic and Social Research, and has lectured on the international monetary system at the London School of Economics, the US Treasury and many other forums.   Show Notes and More   Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Take whatever you've been told, whatever you think you know, about the true origins of COVID-19 and the subsequent bioweapon known as the COVID vaccine, and throw it out the window because the truth is the real conspiracy theory. This is a story about a 2009 secret project called ‘LS18' imagined by shadowy private venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering, and turned over to DARPA who then created the most visible secret government project in American history. By the time it was over, it would involve the governments of presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Donald Trump and NIAID director Anthony Fauci as the star players responsible for bringing it all to pass. What is LS18? Moderna and the COVID vaccine.“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, long before COVID-19, the United States government was pouring money into Moderna's experimental mRNA platform. DARPA awarded Moderna as much as $25 million in 2013 to develop mRNA medicines capable of responding rapidly to natural and engineered biological threats. BARDA later committed money to Moderna's Zika program before providing a maximum award of $1.4 billion to advance its COVID vaccine through clinical development and FDA licensure. Moderna's own federal filings acknowledge that its COVID vaccine was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases—the agency directed by Anthony Fauci from 1984 through 2022. The government was not standing outside Moderna's laboratory waiting to evaluate a privately developed product. Government scientists participated in its development. Government agencies funded the trials. The government financed manufacturing. The government purchased the doses. Government officials promoted the injections, and government policies created demand. Federal liability protections shielded the manufacturers. This was not a normal relationship between a government regulator and a private pharmaceutical company. This was an integrated government/corporate MAFIA-style operation.This was never simply the story of one vaccine or one pharmaceutical company. It's the all-too true story of what happens when government, medicine, secret military research, corporate profit, media propaganda and emergency authority merge into a single apparatus. It is literally the greatest scandal in American history, and the most deadly coordinated global attack ever conceived and carried out.Trump's Operation Warp Speed supplied the money, military organization and unprecedented acceleration.Fauci and NIAID supplied the scientific partnership, institutional authority and public-health messaging.Moderna supplied the commercial product and collected billions in revenue.Biden supplied the mandates, employment pressure and federal enforcement.The media portrayed questioning as dangerous misinformation.The pharmaceutical companies received sky-high profits and liability protection.What did the American people get? Plenty. We received endlessly-shifting bogus guidance, arbitrary restrictions, economic devastation, coerced medical decisions and endless demands to trust officials who repeatedly resisted scrutiny. People who dared to oppose the Moderna machine were blocked, censored, ridiculed and deplatformed. When it was all over and the dust settled, not a single person in government took responsibility for their actions. Delay, Deny, Defend. Today we follow the money trail, you won't like where it leads, but it will lead you to the truth whether you can receive it or not.

Bryan Kohberger's defense asked the court to exclude testimony from Rylene Nowlin, the laboratory manager at the Idaho State Police Forensic Services Laboratory, concerning how Kohberger's DNA allegedly came to be on the knife sheath recovered from the King Road crime scene. The defense specifically challenged Nowlin's proposed opinion that the DNA was more likely deposited through direct transfer rather than indirectly transferred from another person or object. Kohberger's attorneys argued that determining precisely how or when DNA was transferred went beyond the proper expertise of a traditional DNA analyst and entered an area where the forensic community lacked sufficient scientific consensus. They relied heavily on a 2024 National Institute of Standards and Technology report addressing DNA transfer, persistence, prevalence and recovery, which cautioned against analysts offering conclusions about the activity or mechanism that caused DNA to appear on an item. The defense maintained that Nowlin's opinion would therefore be speculative, potentially misleading to jurors and unfairly prejudicial because it could make the DNA on the sheath appear more incriminating than the underlying science justified.Kohberger's lawyers also sought to prevent witnesses from describing the sheath evidence using terms such as “touch DNA” or “contact DNA,” arguing that those labels could misleadingly suggest that Kohberger necessarily touched the sheath himself. They further contended that Nowlin's proposed testimony was not legitimate rebuttal evidence because her opinion about direct DNA transfer effectively supported a central part of the prosecution's affirmative theory of the case and should have been presented and disclosed accordingly. Judge Steven Hippler ultimately declined to exclude Nowlin's opinions, finding that expert testimony concerning the relative likelihood of direct versus indirect DNA transfer could help jurors understand the significance of the DNA evidence. However, the judge agreed that terminology such as “touch DNA,” “contact DNA” and “trace DNA” could create confusion and directed the parties to have their witnesses avoid those labels. The ruling therefore allowed Nowlin to testify about DNA transfer while restricting some of the terminology prosecutors could use to characterize the genetic material recovered from the sheath.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

If you're exhausted, your gut is expanding, your motivation is gone, and your sex drive has quietly disappeared, someone has probably told you it's male menopause. In this episode of Taboo To Truth, I explain why the term Male Menopause isn't medically accurate, how men's hormonal aging differs from women's, what low testosterone actually feels like versus what just looks like it, and when a symptom deserves a doctor instead of a supplement. I get into the research on testosterone replacement therapy, the difference between libido and erectile function, the tools I recommend for supporting sexual function, and what happens in a relationship when desire changes and nobody talks about it. Your sexuality isn't controlled by one number on a blood test, and getting older doesn't mean the end of desire, pleasure, or satisfying sex.In This Episode:00:00 Intro00:13 Welcome to Taboo to Truth00:35 What We're Covering Today01:41 Does Male Menopause Actually Exist?03:22 Male vs. Female Hormonal Aging04:30 What Low Testosterone Actually Feels Like05:42 Other Causes That Mimic "Male Menopause"06:46 Testosterone, Desire & the 2017 Trials08:24 Libido vs. Erections: Two Different Systems09:51 Tools That Support Sexual Function11:27 How This Affects Your Relationship12:37 When to See a Doctor13:44 How Low T Is Actually Diagnosed15:06 TRT: Benefits & Risks16:49 What Else You Can Do18:17 So...

First up on the podcast, ScienceInsider Editor Jocelyn Kaiser joins host Sarah Crespi for the latest science policy news. The two discuss recent grant cancellations by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the likelihood that the agency will spend its budget by the end of its fiscal year on 30 September. Next on the show, crew aboard spacecraft that enter deep space are likely to be exposed to a radiation source we don't often encounter on Earth's surface: high-speed protons coming from solar storms or cosmic rays. So to protect astronauts, researchers are using plastics to defend against this dangerous form of radiation. Jordan Houri, lead scientist for space exploration at StemRad, talks about testing the protective capabilities of specially designed vests aboard NASA's Artemis I mission.

Fauci is once again in our face. The key question is whether he will face real accountability—or whether the current proceedings are just political theater.  The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is under fresh scrutiny concerning Fauci's role and the decisions he made during the pandemic. Officials repeatedly treated him as an expert they could trust, even though serious questions remain about whether his earlier actions may have helped set the pandemic in motion in to begin with.

Charles Brenner breaks down what the science actually says about NAD+, separating established findings from the claims commonly made in the longevity space. He explains why NAD levels in tissues may matter more than blood measurements, how metabolic stress, alcohol, inflammation, and other conditions can disrupt the NAD system, and how nicotinamide riboside (NR) compares with niacin, nicotinamide, and NMN. The conversation also covers research on exercise recovery, peripheral artery disease, skin health, infection, and wound healing, along with the limitations of current human evidence. Brenner explains why he advises against IV and subcutaneous NAD+, discusses concerns around NMN quality, and challenges popular sirtuin-centered theories of anti-aging while emphasizing the importance of reproducible human research.

Charles Brenner breaks down what the science actually says about NAD+, separating established findings from the claims commonly made in the longevity space. He explains why NAD levels in tissues may matter more than blood measurements, how metabolic stress, alcohol, inflammation, and other conditions can disrupt the NAD system, and how nicotinamide riboside (NR) compares with niacin, nicotinamide, and NMN. The conversation also covers research on exercise recovery, peripheral artery disease, skin health, infection, and wound healing, along with the limitations of current human evidence.

What happens when someone who volunteered for a COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial says the shot changed her life within hours? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor sits down with Brianne Dressen, co-founder of React19 and a participant in the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial, to discuss her experience with what she describes as a severe and lasting vaccine injury. Dressen recounts developing neurological symptoms shortly after receiving the shot, including burning and tingling, numbness, difficulty walking, sensitivity to light and sound, vision problems, and cognitive issues. She says some symptoms remain with her nearly six years later. She also describes receiving treatment at the National Institutes of Health, saying the intervention produced a significant improvement but that she has continued to require treatment. Tudor and Dressen discuss informed consent during vaccine trials, the treatment of people reporting adverse events, Anthony Fauci and the NIH, pharmaceutical-company accountability, and Dressen's allegations that officials knew more about certain adverse effects than was publicly acknowledged. Dressen also explains why she believes further federal investigation is necessary. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about one woman's experience, unanswered questions from the COVID era, and the continuing debate over transparency, medical treatment, and accountability.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, host John Solomon dives into the latest revelations surrounding Dr. Anthony Fauci's communication during the COVID-19 pandemic. Solomon highlights the stark contrast between Fauci's public statements and his private concerns, particularly regarding the safety of the COVID vaccine for pregnant women. Drawing from newly uncovered text messages, Solomon discusses how Fauci seemed apprehensive about the risks of miscarriage associated with the vaccine, raising critical questions about transparency in public health messaging.Joining Solomon is Dr. Jay Bhattachara, the current director of the National Institutes of Health, who sheds light on the cultural shifts within the NIH following Fauci's tenure. Bhattachara emphasizes the importance of humility and scientific debate in the agency's future direction, moving away from the politics that have previously overshadowed scientific discourse.The episode also features Congressman Rudy Yakym from Indiana, who shares his candid thoughts on Fauci and the current Senate dynamics. Yakim discusses the ongoing manufacturing renaissance in America, sparked by recent policy changes, and expresses his frustrations with the legislative process in the Senate.Finally, listeners can look forward to a health news update brought to you by our great partners and friends at NativePath.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Sudanese armed executed pastor and 6 others extrajudicially A pastor in Sudan's Nuba Mountains was executed extrajudicially, along with six other people, after members of an armed faction arrested him at his church residence in the town of Heban, reports The Christian Post. The Rev. Adil Jangoul, of the Sudanese Episcopal Church, was detained on July 23 inside the church compound in Heban's Erie neighborhood, where he lived, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide. Members of the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement-North, an armed group in the region, seized his money and arrested him without incident. However, his body was later found on a road alongside those of six other people, all from the Otoro ethnic group, most of whom are Christian. All seven had been killed in extrajudicial executions. Christian Solidarity Worldwide President Mervyn Thomas said he was deeply troubled by the rising bloodshed, some of it apparently ethnically motivated. He called the killings especially perplexing because the Nuba Mountains had long been a place of peaceful co-existence, even through Sudan's dictatorship and the civil war. Send a polite, 3-sentence note to the Sudanese Ambassador to America, Mohamed Idris, asking that their government do more to protect the Sudanese Christians.

James 4:17 says, “So whoever knows the right thing to do, and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” Senate Confirms Todd Blanche as Attorney General President Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, Todd Blanche, was confirmed in a late night vote in the Senate after a handful of fellow Republicans reconsidered their opposition, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche was confirmed in a 50–49 vote in the early hours of August 8th, with Republican Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voting in opposition. The deciding vote was cast by GOP Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who announced on Friday that he believed Blanche was the best option that Trump would put forward. GOP Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky did not vote because he is still recuperating from an illness. Fauci subpoenaed by 3 GOP AGs for profiting from COVID guidance Following two disastrous U.S. Senate hearings in as many weeks and publication of his personal diary, Dr. Anthony Fauci has now been subpoenaed by three Republican state attorneys general seeking to determine whether he personally profited from guidance he issued during the COVID-19 pandemic, reports LifeSiteNews.com. While President Joe Biden gave the COVID kahuna a blanket pardon stretching from 2014 to the final day of his presidency, that pardon protects Fauci only from federal prosecution, leaving him exposed to potential legal actions from the states.  Last Wednesday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that his state has teamed up with West Virginia and Louisiana to investigate “awards, professional opportunities, financial incentives, grants, and COVID-19 guidance that impacted Florida businesses and consumers.” Uthmeier said that Fauci's diaries “detail substantial awards” connected to the Sunshine State, including a $900,000 Dan David Foundation prize. The Florida Attorney General also cited other troubling ways Fauci may have personally profited from his handling of COVID, such as “offers of named professorships and book deals, board positions, private foundation partnerships, and other professional and financial opportunities concurrent with his federal role and public recommendations impacting Florida.”  The once self-proclaimed “most famous scientist in the world” who obtained secular sainthood status during the pandemic has faced a sudden reversal of fortune this summer. In the words of Victor Davis Hanson, “The Fauci files reveal not just a sociopathic narcissist but also a pathological schizophrenic.” And Fox News host Laura Ingraham alleged that during his time as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022, Fauci was “a liar, a megalomaniac, a phony, and a total narcissist all rolled into one.” Senator Fetterman takes issue with anti-Israel Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Appearing on CNN, Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, one of the few Democrats who supports Israel, took issue with Abdul El-Sayed, the newly selected Muslim Democratic nominee to the U.S. Senate from Michigan. Listen. FETTERMAN: “I can't come together with someone if you are willing to embrace people that that loves Hamas or that thinks America deserved 9/11. I think that's reasonable. I think that's the reasonable view. That's not a big tent situation. There are things that are unacceptable to have these views as a Democrat, I think.” Inspiring CEO gives company to charity after working 58 years And finally, Grady-White Boats market their 18 to 45-foot-long vessels as the “finest boats ever crafted” which is quite the statement. For 58 years, Eddie Smith Jr., Grady-White's ex-CEO, worked 80-100 hour workweeks to salvage the near-bankrupt boat builder and turn it into a 9-figure revenue generator that will now power philanthropy in perpetuity, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. That's because Smith turned down multiple offers around half a billion dollars in order to pass controlling stakes in Grady-White Boats to a “purpose trust” that will operate it according to his values and convert its bottom line into community service, conservation, and other philanthropic causes. Profiled by Fortune Magazine, Smith said he was inspired by entrepreneurs like Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, who also turned the brand into a financial engine for conservation. He said, “I just think that those of us that are fortunate enough to be in a position to help others…It's really a gift to me to be able to do what I do.” Born to a father who was orphaned at age 10 during the Great Depression, Smith Jr. grew up near the poverty line. The first break was when his father worked enough odd jobs to start a mail order business. The son, who remembers eating SPAM 3 times a week, then lied about his age to get a job on a paper route, before becoming the first in his family to graduate from college at the University of North Carolina in 1965. Finding Grady-White Boats in a near-bankrupt state, Smith Jr., who described himself as having an “entrepreneurial itch” to prove himself, borrowed some money and took over the business, forsaking golf, his favorite pastime, for over 30 years. Today, revenues average over $100 million per year. When he was given an award known as the Order of the Tar Heel, the highest honor in North Carolina by the state's Labor Commissioner, Eddie Smith was characteristically humble. Listen. SMITH: “Any honor that I am fortunate enough to receive, I receive on behalf of all these wonderful people. You're looking out right there at some of the best craftsmen and most dedicated workers, not only in North Carolina, but I would say in the world. Any accolades that come my way come my way because of them and what they've accomplished here at Grady White.” 1 Peter 5:6 says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, August 10th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Behavioral strategies get a lot of attention in the insomnia field, and with good reason – sleep restriction and stimulus control work quickly to get patients sleeping better. But what about those pesky thoughts that get in the way of good sleep? “I'll be useless tomorrow!” “I'll never be able to sleep normally!” “If I fall asleep right now, I'll only get 4 hours of sleep!” Unhelpful cognitions fuel poor sleep and we're ignoring a critical part of the equation if we don't intervene with them. In fact, research suggests that working on sleep-related cognitions help patients maintain the benefits they make through behavioral interventions. Today we're joined by Dr. Allison Harvey, an expert in the field of sleep disorders. She outlines strategies for how to intervene with the most common sleep-interfering cognitions. Join in as Carin and Dr. Harvey try to convince Kevin that insomnia treatment is fun!Allison G. Harvey, PhD, is a Professor, Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Director of The Golden Bear Sleep and Mood Research Clinic in the Department of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Harvey is a treatment development researcher who conducts research focused on understanding and treating sleep and circadian problems, mental health, and behavior change processes. She has published over 300 peer reviewed papers and chapters and authored three books. Her research is funded by the National Institute of Health.

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: Each year WNYC hosts a "health convening," with support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, as an opportunity for healthcare experts and practitioners to inform WNYC's health reporting. This year, the topic is ultra-processed foods and how they affect our health.  First, Kevin Hall, Ph.D., former senior investigator at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) , discusses his groundbreaking, tightly controlled metabolic ward trials and mathematical models tracking how human bodies respond to ultra-processed foods. Then, Fang Fang Zhang, M.D., Ph.D., cancer epidemiologist and chair of the Division of Nutrition Epidemiology and Data Science at the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, discusses her population‑based research on how ultra-processed foods influence cancer prevention, cancer survivorship and long‑term health outcomes. Then, David Kessler, MD, former FDA Commissioner, breaks down a citizen petition he filed with the Food and Drug Administration last summer which would, among other things, declare that some of the core ingredients in ultra-processed foods were no longer “generally recognized as safe (GRAS)” -- a classification  that means ingredients are exempt from strict premarket approval process. Plus, Ilan Stavans, publisher of Restless Books, professor of humanities and Latin American and Latino culture at Amherst College and the author of A Nation Wrestles with God: American Prophets, Philosophers, and Firebrands (Restless Books, 2026), talks about the broad spectrum of American religious thought, from Cotton Mather to Lana Del Rey.   These interviews were lightly polished up and edited for time, the original versions are available here: What Are Ultra-Processed Foods and What Are They Doing to Us?

It's Friday, August 7th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Tanzanian Christians worried about Muslim threats In several Muslim-majority communities along Tanzania's coast in eastern Africa along the Indian Ocean, small Christian churches continue to worship under growing pressure, with pastors and congregations describing intimidation, disruption, and insecurity, reports International Christian Concern. For many believers in Zanzibar and parts of coastal Tanzania, where 99 percent of the population is Muslim, church leaders say some congregations have experienced threats, harassment, and occasional attacks.  One pastor said, “When a church is threatened, it is not only a building that is affected. People begin to fear even the simple act of coming together to pray. Mothers worry about bringing their children, and some believers spend the entire service looking over their shoulders instead of worshipping freely.” Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Tanzania. Trump, Hegseth clashed over missile depletion concerns President Donald Trump's frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David last week, where he demanded answers from War Secretary Pete Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran, reports The Washington Post. President Trump vented at Hegseth that he thought the munitions issue “had been fixed.”  The shortages, particularly in long-range guided missiles and air-defense interceptors, have been part of the reason President Trump has pulled back from launching additional massive strikes against Iran in recent days. Senate Republicans hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress Senate Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in contempt of Congress after he declined to answer lawmakers' questions during a fiery hearing last week, reports NBC News. Fauci, who has been a target of the right since he served as a top health official during the Covid pandemic, invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during the hearing, explaining in his opening remarks that he believed Republicans would try to use his testimony to prosecute him. However, Fauci had been given a full and unconditional pardon by President Joe Biden before he left office on January 19, 2025. In an 8-5 party-line vote, Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held Fauci in contempt. Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the committee chair, said, “We are voting on whether a witness who has received the benefit of a sweeping federal pardon can be ordered by this committee to answer questions and then defy that order without consequence.” He added, “I ordered him to answer and warned him about contempt, yet he still refused. That is obstruction of a congressional investigation.” The committee can refer the contempt of Congress resolution directly to the Justice Department or request that Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota hold a full Senate vote. Senator Paul said the committee would hand-deliver the referral to the Justice Department. Contempt of Congress is a criminal misdemeanor offense punishable by up to a $100,000 fine and one year in jail. Proverbs 18:12 says, “Before a downfall, the heart is haughty …” In an impromptu press conference, Senator Paul insisted that Dr. Fauci be held accountable for the COVID-19 pandemic. PAUL: “A million Americans died, and I think they deserve to know the truth. Anthony Fauci has advocated for dangerous gain-of-function research for two decades now. The question ‘why' is not a question that he can have liability for. “He was given a pardon. Interestingly, the pardon starts in 2014. That's when the funding of the lab in Wuhan, [China] started. So, I think he should answer questions. As far as pleading the Fifth [Amendment] when you have a pardon, all you have to do is tell the truth, just not commit a new crime. So, I think the American people do deserve to know this. “This is the same Anthony Fauci who said, in a Washington Post op-ed in 2011, even if a pandemic should start from a lab, if someone's bitten in a lab or the virus escapes the lab, that the knowledge would be worth the risks. I don't think many Americans believe that! “This deserves to be thoroughly, exhaustively debated, so we don't do this again.” Christian congressman: Dr. Fauci under divine judgment Appearing with Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade on July 27th, Republican Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee talked about the recent revelations from Dr. Anthony Fauci's pandemic-era diary entries which showed a fixation on his own "explosive" fame, reports The Christian Post. KILMEADE: “Congressman, we saw this, but now we can read this. What changes about how this guy is perceived once and for all?” BURCHETT: “I think his arrogance shows. The Bible talks about professing themselves to be wise; they became fools. We closed down mom-and-pop operations. Jewish and Christian fellowships were shut down. The big boys were allowed to stay open. This thing was a disaster from the start, and we celebrated this guy, [meaning Fauci].” The phrase from Romans 1:22-28, which is part of the Apostle Paul's larger indictment against the pagan world, describes the corruption and prideful self-delusion that afflicts the minds of those who reject God. The refusal to worship God leads to a litany of self-destructive sins that ends with God abandoning individuals and societies "to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.” Southwest Airlines blocks ICE from detaining illegal aliens on 6 flights Firm in the belief that immigration enforcement is bad for business, Southwest Airlines is pushing back hard against efforts to detain illegal immigrants at U.S. airports, reports The Western Journal. A report from the Wall Street Journal highlights a July 25 incident in which an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent tried to board a Southwest Airlines jet in Dallas. The agent was prevented from carrying out his duties by Southwest Airlines. The Dallas-based airline staff also refused to share passenger information with ICE. In recent weeks, a half-dozen other incidents involving Southwest have taken place. The incidents occur as ICE has been broadening their efforts to arrest illegal aliens at airports. Write a polite, 3-sentence letter of complaint to Southwest Airlines President Bob Jordan. Send it to: 2702 Love Field Drive, Dallas, TX 75235. Planned Parenthood sues Trump over denial of Title X funding And finally, Planned Parenthood is suing the Trump administration to challenge updated Title X funding guidelines issued earlier this year that could render the abortion giant ineligible for so-called “family planning” grants, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In April, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services issued updated guidelines for Title X applications, which drop contraception promotion in favor of “natural family planning methods,” tout an objective to “strengthen family formation and assist clients in achieving healthy pregnancies,” and require applicants to reject abortion as a method of family planning. The new standards threaten to disqualify longtime Title X recipients such as Planned Parenthood. As a result, the nation's largest abortion chain announced on July 29 that it is suing the Trump administration over them. Isaiah 59:7 describes the abortion giant to a “t.” “Their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity. Desolation and destruction mark their ways.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 7th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

As the president's ill-conceived conflict with Iran becomes more unstable and chaotic his personal propaganda machine has run out of ways to spin it to its viewers. Last week the network was more than happy to hype up a personal vendetta Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has against Dr. Anthony Fauci, formerly the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) cast himself as a noble physician battling what he believes is a corrupt mad scientist, Fauci, who was hellbent on accumulating power and wealth during one of the darkest chapters in recent American history. Although Paul is a medical doctor, he studied ophthalmology and briefly worked as an eye surgeon before following his father's path in politics.The senator might be able to surgically fix a problem in a human eye, but he has no expertise or experience with infectious diseases.Dr. Anthony Fauci is a physician-scientist and immunologist with a decades long career as a public servant. Fauci was instrumental in the U.S. government response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Over a period of years he helped secure research funding, speed up drug trials, and helped design PEPFAR - a U.S. initiative to treat HIV/AIDS patients all over the world.Fauci had the misfortune to run the NIAID when a new virus, SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, spread across the world while working with one of the most incompetent presidents in U.S. history - Donald J. Trump.During the public health catastrophe Fauci kept notes about his work on a government issued computer. Senator Paul subpoenaed the personal notes Fox News called “The Fauci Diaries” and attempted to use Fauci's writing to bolster a false narrative about the COVID-19 pandemic.Paul's pursuit of Fauci resulted in a Senate committee hearing last week where the doctor evoked his fifth amendment rights against self-incrimination over 100 times. Meanwhile Paul and his fellow GOP senators cherry picked statements from the personal notes and mocked Fauci for passages about his fascination with celebrities and his newfound fame.The focus on COVID provided the network with an easy way to avoid discussing an unpopular war while it provided Fox News viewers an opportunity to re-ride the roller coaster of conspiracy theories, snake oil remedies and vaccine avoidance that cost hundreds of thousands of American lives.In addition to the network's obsessive coverage of a senate committee hearing that gave their viewers no new information Fox News hosts continued to openly criticize Trump's handling of the war in Iran while insisting that the United States was on the brink of a communist takeover by a small group of Democratic Socialists.

A Senate committee on Aug. 6 voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in contempt of Congress. The full Senate could consider the matter before making a referral to prosecutors, but Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has said that might result in a negative vote.U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday called Iranian negotiators "extraordinarily difficult people" and said any nuclear deal would take time.Speaking to Fox News, Vance acknowledged American frustration with the stop-start nature of diplomatic progress but said Iran's "fractured system" includes both those wanting peace and "crazy radicals who want the war to continue."

Give to help Chris make Truce Our season has spent a lot of time looking at how some evangelicals tied themselves to the GOP as the party became more conservative. But not every evangelical Republican was taken in by the conservative swing. In this episode, we're taking a look at Senator Mark Hatfield, an evangelical Republican who didn't follow the pack. Senator Mark Hatfield had a long and influential career in public service spanning nearly five decades. After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II and earning degrees from Willamette University and Stanford University, Hatfield began his political journey in the Oregon Legislature, winning election to the Oregon House of Representatives in 1950 and then to the Oregon State Senate in 1954. He went on to become Oregon's youngest Secretary of State at age 34 and was elected Governor of Oregon in 1958, where he served two terms and oversaw the expansion of the state's infrastructure and environmental programs. In 1966, Hatfield was elected to the U.S. Senate, beginning a 30-year tenure that made him the longest-serving senator in Oregon's history at the time. In the Senate, Hatfield was known as a moderate Republican who often put conscience ahead of party, particularly on issues of war and defense spending. Deeply shaped by his wartime experiences and Christian faith, he consistently opposed military authorization bills, including votes against the Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War, and co-sponsored efforts like a nuclear freeze resolution. Hatfield twice chaired the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, using that position to direct federal funds to Oregon for health, transportation, and research projects, and to support biomedical research at institutions like the National Institutes of Health. His independent approach earned him respect across party lines, and although the GOP shifted rightward over time, he remained a distinctive figure in national politics until his retirement in 1997.

Colicky babies love white noise for sleeping! Plenty of parents rely on sleep white noise during their child's bedtime routine so their little one can fall asleep in comfort.
