The now disgraced former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is not just out, he's now gone! He's announced that he is leaving Congress at the end of the year, leading some pundits to ask: why? Why is one of the more powerful members of Congress leaving? Well we're going to answer just that and see how it sheds light on the fact you are effectively taking over this party and pushing the likes of McCarthy out of the GOP once and for all! Highlights:   “The latest news is that McCarthy is leaving. He's not going to bother finishing out his term. He's leaving at the end of the year, and thus, the era of McCarthy is officially coming to an end.” “McCarthy is leaving precisely because conservative patriots are taking over the party and there's frankly no future for RINO neocons like him!” Timestamps:   [00:49] Kevin McCarthy resigning from his Congressional seat [02:10] How the establishment originally tried to impose an anti-Trumper as speaker on us [ 05:00] The reason why McCarthy is leaving Resources:  Reward yourself with the best hand-crafted natural soap bars.

Guest: Catherine Arnston Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking). As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born. It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae.

A conversation with Giles Hutchins, executive coach, keynote speaker and author of Leading by Nature, about the role of mindset in regenerative food systems, the achiever mentality, reconnecting with nature and achieving a more sustainable business mindset, interconnectedness and the “field” in science and spirituality and more.We kick things off by diving into the crucial shift towards a regenerative mindset, a paradigm shift from the potentially harmful "achiever" mindset. Giles imparts wisdom on the importance of staying grounded, cultivating meaningful relationships and the risks we face if we allow the traditional achiever mindset to dictate our solutions to environmental crises. ---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/emma-chow-giles-hutchins.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

They stress the importance of having a teacher to guide individuals through their meditation practice and also mention the benefits of having a dedicated meditation partner. The discussion highlights how meditation cultivates a calm and joyful state of mind, which in turn enhances creativity. The guest shares that their meditation practice is separate from their glassblowing, indicating that the two practices are distinct yet complementary. Overall, the episode underscores the commitment and daily practice required for meditation, emphasizing its positive impact on creativity.The episode also explores how glassblowing can serve as a meditative activity, creating a serene and joyful space for creativity.

This suggests that glassblowing not only provides a meditative and tranquil environment but also fosters a sense of joy and lightheartedness in the creative process. The host deepens the connection between glassblowing and meditation by inquiring if the guest's meditation teacher helped them understand how glassblowing can be a meditative practice. The guest confirms that while the teachings of glassblowing and meditation are separate, meditation has played a significant role in their life for several years.Nature serves as a major source of inspiration for the artist's work, influencing their projects in profound ways. The artist explains that when they practice or seek to be creative, they tap into a place in their mind or on paper where ideas and colors flow, and nature is their primary wellspring of inspiration. They express that most of their work is influenced by nature, as they believe it excels in providing ideas worth borrowing. The artist also shares a favorite project in Seattle, where they were tasked with creating 200 pieces for a building's entrance. The client desired an ambiance that evoked a connection to nature. The artist designed a piece consisting of 250 glass elements, incorporating flowers, leaves, and cattails to capture the essence of nature. Throughout the episode, the artist's passion for nature and their desire to infuse its beauty into their work shines through.

The Paris climate agreement in 2015 aimed to limit global warming to 1.5C. But have politics and lobbying got in the way of urgently needed progress? Is it too late for some nations? There has been much scepticism among delegates at COP28 as to whether the hosts are honest brokers in this process and if the money pledged by the wealthiest nations is enough to mitigate this crisis.

How do we know that life is designed? Would it surprise you to know that it can be done mathematically? You see, things like biological systems, specified complexity, and probabilistic hurdles leave no reasonable explanation for life as we know it without a creator. But are atheists and skeptics willing and able to address these hurdles without attributing them to so-called "chance"? In this week's podcast episode, Frank interviews Dr. William "Bill" Dembski, one of the founders of the modern-day intelligent design movement, who has an impressive academic background in philosophy, mathematics, and theology and sits on the Board of Directors at the Discovery Institute. In this thought-provoking episode, Bill and Frank team up to discuss the second edition of Bill's book (co-authored by Winston Ewert) 'The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance Through Small Probabilities', which lays out the mathematical way to detect design in nature. During their conversation, Bill and Frank will answer questions like: What is a design inference and what happens when you apply it to biology? Why did Bill take a 10-year hiatus from his career in academia? How did the use of mathematics to detect design expose the president of Stanford University as a cheat? What do cells and DNA reveal about the complexity of life? What are the challenges that materialists face when trying to explain the origin of life? What are some of the flaws in Richard Dawkins' argument for 'Climbing Mount Improbable'? What do monkeys and Shakespeare have in common?   As you'll hear in this episode, it isn't just a religious position that supports the existence of an intelligent designer. Objections to design, such as the argument from ignorance, are not valid when the design inference is applied correctly. How do we know that life is designed? Because the numbers just don't lie! To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST be sure to join our CrossExamined private community.

To Mary God gave his only-begotten Son, whom he loved as himself. Through Mary God made himself a Son, not different but the same, by nature Son of God and Son of Mary. The whole universe was created by God, and God was born of Mary. God created all things, and Mary gave birth to God. The God who made all things gave himself form through Mary, and thus he made his own creation. He who could create all things from nothing would not remake his ruined creation without Mary. God, then, is the Father of the created world and Mary the mother of the re-created world. God is the Father by whom all things were given life, and Mary the mother through whom all things were given new life. For God begot the Son, through whom all things were made, and Mary gave birth to him as the Saviour of the world. Without God's Son, nothing could exist; without Mary's Son, nothing could be redeemed. Truly the Lord is with you, to whom the Lord granted that all nature should owe as much to you as to himself.

In a heart-wrenching courtroom scene, relatives who believed their loved ones may have been among the 190 decomposing bodies discovered at the Return to Nature Funeral Home watched as the owners, Jon and Carie Hallford, appeared before a judge to face a litany of disturbing charges. The Colorado Springs-based funeral home's facility in Penrose, a quiet Rocky Mountain town, became the epicenter of an unprecedented scandal that has left families in turmoil.    Accused of abusing corpses, theft, money laundering, and forgery, the Hallfords stood in orange jail clothes and handcuffs, remaining silent during a brief court hearing. The revelations surrounding the funeral home have sent shockwaves throughout the community.  The disturbing discovery unfolded when investigators unearthed dozens of stacked bodies at the facility, with some dating as far back as 2019, according to federal affidavits. Families who entrusted their loved ones to the funeral home were told that their relatives had been cremated, but court records allege that they received substitute materials, not their loved ones' ashes.    Heather DeWolf, a grieving mother, attended the hearing and held up a photo of her late son, Zach DeWolf, who passed away at the age of 33 in 2020. Return to Nature had handled her son's remains, and she expressed her profound grief and disbelief: "I don't view them honestly as human at this point. I don't believe a human could do this." She recalled the heartbreaking moment she rocked a container, thinking it held her son's ashes, only to question its contents now.    While the FBI has privately told many families that their loved ones were among the decaying bodies, the full extent of how the bodies were mishandled remains unknown to the public. Defense attorneys have objected to the unsealing of affidavits, and the decision on whether to make them public awaits a future judge's ruling. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced plans to demolish the Return to Nature funeral home in Colorado, where authorities uncovered the nearly 200 decaying bodies.  Initially, the Fremont County Department of Public Health & Environment declared the funeral home a public health risk, and now the EPA is stepping in to address the hazardous situation. The agency had scheduled an evaluation of the property in mid-November, but the decision to demolish the building in January 2024 was announced last week. The goal is to remove biological and hazardous materials discovered within the structure safely.    The Hallfords were arrested in Oklahoma, where they had allegedly fled to avoid prosecution. They are currently in police custody, held on a $2 million bond each, and face numerous charges, including about 190 counts of abuse of a corpse, theft, money laundering, and forgery.    Jon Hallford is represented by the public defender's office, which has declined to comment on the case. Carie Hallford is being represented by attorney Michael Stuzynski, who has also declined to comment.    In the aftermath of the grim discovery, authorities have been working diligently to identify the remains. Various methods, including fingerprints, dental records, medical hardware, and DNA, are being employed to establish the identities of those affected.  The shocking revelations have raised questions about the practices of Return to Nature Funeral Home, which offered cremations and "green" burials without embalming fluids. The company, founded in 2017, faced numerous financial crises, including missed tax payments, eviction notices, and lawsuits from suppliers.    When state officials reached out to Jon Hallford after receiving reports of a foul odor, he admitted to having a "problem" at the site and claimed to practice taxidermy there, according to an order dated October 5. However, the extent of the problem and the circumstances surrounding the bodies' mishandling have yet to be fully disclosed to the public.    The FBI's involvement intensified when Jon Hallford ceased using his phone on the day of the funeral home's search, leading authorities to believe he was attempting to evade law enforcement. The subsequent tracking of Carie Hallford's phone to Oklahoma led to the discovery of Jon Hallford's car at his parent's residence and the issuance of a federal court warrant for the couple's arrest.    As the legal proceedings unfold, the nation watches with a mixture of sympathy for the grieving families and a demand for accountability in this deeply disturbing and unprecedented case.

On Health Check we often cover the outbreak of a mystery illness or unusual health event that has occurred somewhere across the globe. But how do we know when these illnesses are serious and how are they identified and investigated? Claudia Hammond speaks to Dr. Jarod Hanson from the Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases (ProMED) about how they scan and review information related to global health security. This follows news about an outbreak of anthrax in the Kyotera district of Uganda. We hear from those who have been affected.Claudia is joined by BBC health reporter, Dr. Smitha Mundasad. They discuss the news that the UK Biobank has unveiled unparalleled new data from whole genome sequencing of its half a million participants. They hear from Dr. Maik Pietzner about why this data is so important for genetic research – his research into the cause of Raynaud's phenomenon was possible because of the data.New research from the University of Washington has looked at how unfiltered air from rush-hour traffic significantly increases passengers' blood pressure, both while in the car and up to 24 hours later. And a new paper released in the journal Nature suggests that a new method to analyse the ageing of organs in humans may allow us to better predict disease risk and the effects of ageing.Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Clare Salisbury Assistant Producer: Jonathan Blackwell

The Colorado River has been carved up and relentlessly fought over for decades. But has anyone ever asked what the river wants? Until recently, that answer was ‘no.' There's a growing movement, rooted in Indigenous values, to give nature — rivers, fish, crops and trees — the same rights as people (and corporations). It's known as Rights of Nature. In our last episode of the season we travel to the other side of the world, visit a mountain town making history and learn from salmon in the Pacific Northwest, as we figure out if personhood is feasible for the Colorado River and what that would mean for the river and those who depend on it.

Isaiah Maxi has been hiking all over Missouri's state parks — and he's not doing it alone.

We talked with him in March when he was about one-third of the way to his goal. This past weekend, he accomplished (and surpassed) his mission by meeting 113 new friends — and a total of six dogs.

Claim your space and prepare to rest, It's time to take care of you.   PAUSE… When you're ready, let your mind float free. Take your thoughts to a soothing place. Picture a grassy meadow, Wildflowers in every direction.   PAUSE… If you study those flowers closely, With an eye toward more than color, You'll see movement over the flowers' heads, Something zipping from one to another.   PAUSE… Dedicated to their critical mission, Nature's little messengers spread out over the field. They land on the lovely blossoms, Spreading pollen wherever they land.   PAUSE… Moving from bud to bud they fly, Mixing and matching as they go. A divinely beneficial give and take, Good for both bee and flower. PAUSE… Picture the bee's energetic flight, Its eager, hopeful pattern. See it dart all over that fresh green field, Collecting its essential cargo. PAUSE… The bee knows exactly what it needs to do, And it focuses only on that task. Watch it work with true purpose, Let its dedication fill you with awe.   Take a deep breath as you think about the power of your own life's mission. Exhale and imagine working as hard as the bee to gather what you need. LONG PAUSE… Once it's finished in the meadow, The bee's job is far from over. From there it flies back to the hive, Ready to share its treasure.   PAUSE… Imagine how satisfying it must be, To return home after a job well done. By following nothing but its instincts, The bee tends both itself and its world.   PAUSE… You, too, can live your life that way, Laser-focused on your primary purpose. And just like the bee's quest to feed its family, You serve others when you honor your nature.   PAUSE… Picture a hive of buzzing bees, A community with goals in alignment. Feel the fullness of this cooperative spirit. PAUSE… Let that hive energy fill you, Feel its hope and clear intention. Think about the sweet results, The bounty the bees' work yields.   PAUSE… Even that honey is more than it appears, Giving both enjoyment and good health. It's the perfect symbol of generous effort, An image of the harmony we all long to find.   PAUSE… The bees still remember what matters the most, Even if humans so often forget. Visualize the difference you could make in your life, If you embraced the example of the hive.   PAUSE… Think about the ways you could find that connection, The ways you could build a community of your own. Envision the joy of finding like-minded souls, People who work to harvest life's gifts.   Feel your heart smile as you inhale, feel it delight in the possibilities. Let peace fill you as you exhale, the peace that understanding brings.   LONG PAUSE… Take yourself back to the meadow, Smell the flowers and enjoy the view. Once again let your eye follow the bees, Sink into new calm as you watch. PAUSE… Their movement is mesmerizing, A mixture of dancing and flight. Your spirit starts to wish it could follow, To zoom through the air without thought.   PAUSE… There's nothing to worry about in this meadow, No ticking clock or demanding voices. It's perfectly fine to follow the bees' example, And tend to your purest needs.   PAUSE… Nature is the wisest force of all. Nature always knows what's best. So just like the bees, it's smart to take heed, When that quiet inner voice speaks. PAUSE… The logic is the same for you and the bees;   Be true to your purpose, the reason you're here, And choose that above all else.   PAUSE…

SPARROW STREET, 93min,. USA Directed by Billy Jack A typical suburban neighborhood is plunged into a nightmare as an invisible, monstrous force begins picking the neighbors off, one by one. The terror outside the house is no match to the terror that forms inside the house where survival, isolation, and hunger all play tricks of the mind for a man, an expectant wife, and their unborn child. The film begs the big question and the great reveal – What is eating the neighbors? https://sparrowstreetfilms.com/ https://instagram.com/sparrow_street_movie?igshid=MzRIODBiNWFIZA= Get to know the director Billy Jack & writer Justin Cole: BILLY – We wanted to create a product (Sparrow Street) that entertains people, and we achieved this based on the data from our test screen and feedback from audience members. Very exciting for us and for those who get the chance to experience this story. JUSTIN: We wanted to scare the heck out of audiences by fusing environmentalism and horror in a completely ridiculous and unseemly way. We think we did that with Sparrow Street. It is a film like none other ever made. Think about the idea of an environmental horror – the time is rife for this kind of emerging idea. That's the story we are telling. Mankind vs. Nature in a completely original, unique, and distinctive point-of-view. Our hope…blow the minds of our audiences. Leave them reeling with thought and meaning. That's ultimately why we made this film. You can sign up for the 7 day free trial at www.wildsound.ca (available on your streaming services and APPS).

On The Literary Life today, we wrap up our series on The Mind of the Maker by Dorothy L. Sayers. Angelina, Cindy, and Thomas begin the conversation with C. S. Lewis' critique of Sayers' work, both what he agreed with and disagreed with in this book, as well as touching on Tolkien's idea of artists as sub-creators. Cindy talks about what it is like writing a book in relation to Sayers' thoughts on the subject of authorship. Thomas shares why he took issue with part of her examples of scalene triangles and the Trinity in relation to aesthetic failures. Angelina shares her dilemma with this same portion, and they discuss the principle they think Sayers was trying to illustrate.

If you missed it, go back to last week's episode to get all the information about our 2024 Reading Challenge, Book of Centuries. Commonplace Quotes: Truth herself will, at the promptings of Nature, break forth from even unwilling hearts. “Veritas ipsa cogente natura etiam ab invitis pectoribus erumpit.” Lactantius, from Divine Institutes, Bk. II Curiosity may elicit facts, but only real interest may mold these facts to wisdom. Anna Botsford Comstock, from Handbook of Nature Study I must therefore disagree with Miss Sayers very profoundly when she says that ‘between the mind of the maker and the Mind of the Maker' there is ‘a difference, not of category, but only of quality and degree' (p. 147). On my view there is a greater, far greater, difference between the two than between playing with a doll and suckling a child. But with this, serious disagreement ends. This is the first ‘little book on religion' I have read for a long time in which every sentence is intelligible and every page advances the argument. I recommend it heartily to theologians and critics. To novelists and poets, if they are already inclined in any degree to idolatry of their own vocation, I recommend it with much more caution. They had better read it fasting. C. S. Lewis, from Image and Imagination Thoughts by Thomas Beddoes Sweet are the thoughts that haunt the poet's brain Like rainbow-fringed clouds, through which some star Peeps in bright glory on a shepherd swain; They sweep along and trance him; sweeter far Than incense trailing up an out-stretched chain From rocking censer; sweeter too they are Than the thin mist which rises in the gale From out the slender cowslip's bee-scarred breast. Their delicate pinions buoy up a tale Like brittle wings, which curtain in the vest Of cobweb-limbed ephemera, that sail In gauzy mantle of dun twilight dressed, Borne on the wind's soft sighings, when the spring Listens all evening to its whispering.

It was the biggest domestic terrorist attack on the electricity grid in U.S. history, but one year later, no arrests have been made and authorities have named no suspects other than to say that whoever did this “knew what they were doing.” In this installment of The Laura Flanders Show's investigation into the local roots of the January 6 insurrection in one state, North Carolina, Laura speaks with the North Carolinians who were at a drag show in Moore County when the lights went out. “Downtown Divas” had been harassed for months by anti-LGBTQ leaders — did the sabotage attack have anything to do with that harassment or the drag performance scheduled that night? As legislators and local leaders continue to roll back LGBTQ rights, they remain largely silent about the real threats facing North Carolinians and the nation from domestic terrorists with their sights set on U.S. power grids. Why? This episode also looks at how the LGBTQ community in North Carolina is standing up to hate and creating safety — with Drag operatics — for all.“When the lights went out, it didn't matter who was Black, who was Latino, who was Asian, who was a person of color, didn't matter if you were Catholic, if you were Baptist, if you were Christian. We were all in the same space, all in the same boat, which was that we didn't have any power.” - Naomi Dix“[After the attack] I remember thinking, I have to start speaking more . . . I have to start sticking up for myself and the trans community more, because that's what prevents things like this.” - Alex Lafferty“We aren't the villains in this situation. We have a right to exist and be performing and what I love about drag is the joy that we bring not only to LGBT people, but the whole community.” - Tori Grace Nichols“We are talking about a great harm that happened here in North Carolina, but this is a national problem and not a new one . . . This is a domestic terrorist threat that people really need to be paying attention to.” - Serena Sebring“. . . That show and that incident brought out two different sets of people. It brought out the lovers and it brought out the haters . . . Those haters have found a way to attack our youth through the school board and our communities.” - Erica StreetGuests:• Naomi Dix: Drag Artist, Activist & Member of Durham NC BIPOC Operated House of Coxx; Co-Chair, Pride: Durham, NC• Alex Lafferty: Daughter of Erica Street, High School Student & Youth Activist• Tori Grace Nichols: Drag Artist & Cultural Organizer• Serena Sebring: Executive Director, Blueprint North Carolina• Erica Street: Mother of Alex Lafferty; Co-founder, PFLAG Southern Pines Full Episode Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more.Music In the Middle:   “No One Else Has Your Magic” by Muva of Earth from her album Align with Nature's Intelligence released on Brownswood Records.  Additional music by Podington Bear “Hearts Aflutter,” “Mont Blanc,” “Beachhead,” “Tender and Curious,”Credits: Executive Producer: Laura Flanders, Field Producer: Brian Palmer, Supervising Producer: Sabrina Artel, Consulting Producer: Rory O'Connor, Development Director: Sarah Miller, Senior Video Editor: David Neumann, Creative Designer & Video Editor: Nat Needham, Audio Director: Jeannie Hopper, Communications Director: Janet Hernandez, LF Show Fellow: Maryia Kanavalenka. Our thanks to Jim Davis Kym Register  Special thanks We deeply appreciate the Blueprint North Carolina staff whose collaborations have been key to the success of this award-winning and ground-breaking set of episodes.

Sonia T. is in New Orleans with Sonia C. Sabrina is busy in London preparing for her daughter's first ever Christmas show, so she will not be joining us on today's episode. However, Sonia T. is happily enjoying the sun in New Orleans. What a rare treat that you don't often get around this time of year in Europe!    This week's theme is: Connect with nature to connect with your intuition.    Highlights: Sonia T. spotted an owl! What does it mean? [2:40]  How can you be intuitively guided? [3:20] Sonia T. and Sonia C. have come up with a fun song on the kazoo! [5:20] The ladies witnessed a flock of birds singing away and it reminded Sonia T. that we're part of nature too. [8:20] If someone calls you woo-woo or crazy, just remember they're stuck in a bad neighborhood. [11:50] Sonia T. shares a time where she had lost her passport shortly before a big trip. [18:15] The more you talk to your guides and call on them, the more you'll notice them showing up. It's like any relationship! [22:25]  The spirit in all of us is brilliant. [29:30]  Tool of the week. [29:50] Question of the week. [34:00]   Sonia T. loves symbolism and spotting things that aren't always obvious. Sonia T. was in New Orleans last year around the same time and she had spotted an owl. Owls are powerful metaphors and totems. They can turn their heads 360 degrees and they often represent death, rebirth, and new beginnings. This year, she spotted another huge owl again in the trees. It's a sign! Get out of your head, into your body, and notice the beauty all around the natural world.    You really want to pay attention to the world around you, but the same applies to your intuition. It's there. It exists. You just have to pay attention to where it is. There are a ton of helpers and guides floating around you and nudging you towards the right path, but we actually have to just look through the world, like looking through the trees to see the owl, to spot them.    Tool of the Week: Look for connection and trust in the guidance you get.    Continue on Your Journey:   Question of the Week: I mistrust my instincts because of all the red herrings I'm receiving. How can I get better at this?    More Sonia Choquette at www.soniachoquette.com More Sonia Tully at www.soniatully.com Connect with Sabrina at www.sabrinatully.com Join Sonia Choquette's Vibe Tribe Follow Sonia Choquette on Instagram Follow Sonia Tully on Instagram Buy Sonia and Sabrina's Book You Are Amazing Ask your intuitive questions at: itsallrelatedpodcastquestions@gmail.com Masterclass: You're Glorious Life by Sonia Tully Book a Discovery Call with Sonia Tully Protecting Child's Intuition PsychicYOU Fall Class Level 1  Pre-Order Sonia Choquette's New Book Share with us your questions and vibe stories at itsallrelatedpodcastquestions@gmail.com and vibecheck@soniatully.com
