From alleged FBI partnerships with the Sinaloa cartel to threats against Americans and border agents, we analyze how policy, politics, and enforcement intersect with real-world violence.

ABUSED? STALKED? - Demand Women get Tech Protection! (Part 1)  The Black Spy Podcast 213, Season 22, Episode 0004 In this and the next episode of The Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King and Firgas Esack delve deeply into one of society's most urgent and under-addressed crises — the protection of women, girls, and others from domestic violence and stalking. The discussions examine both the failures of current protective systems and the promise of new technologies, such as GPS-based electronic monitoring devices, to transform safety and accountability. Carlton and Firgas focus particularly on the innovative Talitrix LLC wrist-worn monitoring systems already in use in the United States. These systems differ significantly from traditional ankle tags by offering real-time GPS tracking, two-way communication, biometric verification, and advanced geofencing capabilities. This means that for the first time, courts, police, and victims themselves could be instantly alerted if a perpetrator breaches a restraining or non-molestation order — potentially preventing violence before it happens. Victims could be warned in real time when a perpetrator approaches a prohibited zone, allowing them to take immediate protective action and giving authorities the ability to intervene rather than merely react to tragedy. The podcast also scrutinizes why, despite these advances, such life-saving technologies are not yet widely deployed in the UK. The hosts question whether bureaucratic inertia, cost concerns, or lack of political will have delayed the adoption of electronic monitoring in domestic violence contexts — even as statistics show domestic abuse accounts for nearly one-fifth of all violent crime in the UK. Firgas Esack, herself a survivor, brings a personal and poignant perspective to the discussion, highlighting how delayed interventions and weak enforcement leave victims vulnerable, while perpetrators often exploit the system's gaps. In the second part, Carlton broadens the debate to consider the moral, legal, and privacy dimensions of widespread monitoring. Can technology be implemented ethically without becoming intrusive or misused by authorities? Could a coordinated rollout of systems like Talitrix save countless lives by making restraining orders truly enforceable for the first time? Through expert interviews, survivor testimonies, and international comparisons, The Black Spy Podcast challenges listeners to rethink how modern society uses technology — not just for convenience or commerce, but for justice and protection. These episodes argue powerfully that the tools already exist to make domestic abuse prevention proactive rather than reactive — but only if the UK government has the courage to act.

What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf.

 Tommy ROBINSON - Opportunist, Patriot or Ill-Informed? (Part 2)         The Black Spy Podcast 211, Season 22, Episode 0003 The 150,000-strong anti-immigration demonstration in central London, fronted by figures like Tommy Robinson, is a striking illustration of how immigration has become one of the most polarising issues in British politics. The march's overt targeting of Muslims and people of colour underscores the racialised framing of immigration, moving the debate far beyond policy detail and into the territory of national identity, culture, and belonging. The demonstration reflects a public mood that successive governments have helped to shape. For years, both Labour and the Conservatives have flirted with populist rhetoric on immigration. Labour, historically more cautious, now walks a tightrope between its traditional working-class base—some of whom are sceptical of immigration—and its progressive, urban supporters who view migration as essential to a modern Britain. This tension often leaves the party hesitant, reactive rather than proactive. The Conservatives, by contrast, have leaned heavily into the immigration debate, especially under recent leaderships. Their strategy has been to present themselves as the only party capable of “taking back control” of borders—first through Brexit, then through high-profile but controversial measures like the Rwanda deportation scheme. While such policies rarely deliver the promised results, they fuel a perception among parts of the electorate that the government is fighting a cultural battle against an “influx” of outsiders. In effect, the Conservatives have normalised elements of the very language and themes echoed by street movements like Robinson's. This creates a dangerous loop: populist protests pressure politicians, politicians adopt harsher rhetoric to shore up support, and protests grow bolder in turn. The London demonstration is therefore not just a one-off show of force but a symptom of how deeply immigration has become embedded in Britain's political fault lines—and how both major parties, albeit in different ways, are struggling to manage it. Rights of Asylum Seekers (while claim is pending) Employment: Not normally allowed to work.  May apply for permission to work only if their claim has been outstanding for over 12 months through no fault of their own.  If granted, work is restricted to jobs on the Shortage Occupation List. Financial Support: Eligible for Asylum Support (provided by the Home Office). Current rate: about £49.18 per person, per week (loaded onto an ASPEN debit card). Additional allowances may be given for pregnant women, babies, and young children. Housing: Provided with accommodation on a no-choice basis (can be shared housing or hostels, not chosen by the applicant). Must stay where the Home Office places them. Health Care: Entitled to use the NHS free of charge while their claim is being considered. Includes GP services, hospital care, and maternity care. Education: Children of asylum seekers have the right to attend state schools. Asylum seekers usually cannot access student loans for university.

Aliens Incoming?! Harvard Scientist Dr. Avi Loeb reveals the astronomy behind why 3I/Atlas could cancel your Halloween plans… On October 29th, just two days before Halloween, a mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is set to make a highly unusual approach to our sun and it's raising MAJOR red flags! Could this be a disguised alien mothership on a secret surveillance mission to Earth? The trajectory coincidences are so bizarre, they defy all known statistics. In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Avi Loeb (Harvard professor, astrophysicist, and bestselling author of Interstellar: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars) dives deep with Mayim & Jonathan into what 3I/ATLAS might really be…and how it ties into everything we thought we knew about life beyond Earth. Dr. Avi Loeb also breaks down: - Did the U.S. Government recover four types of alien biological entities from UAP crash sites? - Evidence that human life may have been engineered by another species - Was Mars home to life before Earth? - The chilling reason you should NEVER shake an alien's hand - Why Loeb says extraterrestrial life is a national security issue - The new “Loeb Scale” to evaluate interstellar object encounters - Why the discovery of alien life could be the only thing that unites humanity - His urgent call for a global organization to defend Earth against threats like aliens, AI, and climate change - The plan to build a DNA ark using artificial intelligence — a “Noah's Ark” for Earth's survival! - How science and spirituality can coexist, and why believing in aliens shouldn't conflict with faith - Why the hidden black holes theory doesn't prove the multiverse - How we can finally pressure governments to reveal the truth about extraterrestrials Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or just curious about all things alien, this is the video you can't afford to miss.

New Jersey voters deserve transparency. 3:10pm- House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is now calling for a criminal investigation into the release of Mikie Sherrill's military file.

US buyers of foreign vanity units, soft furnishings, etc., as well as heavy trucks, and pharmaceuticals will be subject to new tariffs. The furniture tariffs, applied on national security grounds, are likely to have a muted impact. These are not high frequency purchases (lowering price awareness).

Routh was also found guilty of several firearm violations and of assaulting a federal law enforcement officer. Routh, who made the unusual decision of representing himself in court, attempted to stab himself after hearing the jury's verdict. 3:30pm- While appearing on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow, former Vice President Kamala Harris was asked to clarify an excerpt from her new book, “107 Days,” in which claims she chose not to select Pete Buttigieg as her 2024 running mate because he is gay. Harris denied the allegation—but then backtracked and bizarrely added that she couldn't pick Buttigieg since his sexual orientation posed a campaign “risk.” 3:35pm- While promoting her book on The View, Harris said of her 2024 presidential campaign: “I didn't fully appreciate how much people wanted to know there was a difference between me and President Biden. I thought it was obvious.” However, in October 2024, Harris told The View, “there is not a thing that comes to mind” when asked what she would do differently than Joe Biden. 3:40pm- Kimmel is Back: Last week, ABC/Disney indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel's comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network's move appeared to be a result of Kimmel's comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel's vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many expressed concern that Carr's warning amounted to a First Amendment violation. On Monday, ABC/Disney announced that the suspension had concluded, and Kimmel will be back on-air Tuesday night. However, Nexstar and Sinclair—which operate a combined 60 ABC affiliates—announced they will not air “Jimmy Kimmel Live” despite the suspension's cessation. 4:05pm- While speaking with the press alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Trump suggested he would be open to the idea of NATO allies shooting down Russian aircrafts.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica Levinson unpacks the legal issues behind Jimmy Kimmel's temporary show suspension. She explains the distinction between private action by ABC and possible government coercion from the FCC or the President, outlining why the First Amendment generally protects speech from government—not private—actions. Jessica also discusses the limited circumstances under which the FCC could revoke broadcast licenses and what this case means for free speech and media organizations moving forward.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1. The Suspension and Return of Jimmy Kimmel's ShowJessica Levinson opens the episode by explaining the sequence of events around Jimmy Kimmel's temporary suspension from ABC after a controversial comment in his monologue. She emphasizes that although he has now been returned to air, the legal issues discussed still remain relevant.2. The Role and Limits of the First AmendmentA central theme is clarifying what the First Amendment protects. Jessica explains that the First Amendment limits government action against speech, not actions taken by private entities like ABC. If ABC alone had suspended Kimmel with no government involvement, it would not be a First Amendment issue.3. Government Involvement and the FCC's RoleThe episode explores concerns about potential government overreach, specifically whether statements made by the FCC chair or the President could constitute government coercion. Jessica details how, if the government pressures a private company to take action against someone's speech, First Amendment concerns are triggered.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica
