The US State Department's spokesperson Ned Price is being replaced by a man named Matthew Miller. Like Price, Miller has had extensive prior involvement in both the US government and the mass media; Price is a former CIA officer and Obama administration National Security Council staffer who for years worked as an NBC News analyst, while Miller has previously had roles in both the Obama and Biden administrations and spent years as an analyst for MSNBC.

The families of Americans imprisoned in Iran are being buffeted by a sort of psychological warfare between adversarial states. Over the weekend, Iran's foreign minister said a prisoner swap agreement between his country and the US has been brokered, and now the ball's in America's court – but Washington quickly quashed that. The State Department's Ned Price called it “a cruel lie that only adds to the suffering of their families.” This follows the heartbreaking appeal made by Iranian-American Siamak Namazi when Christiane spoke with him from inside Evin prison last week. Today's first guest, Bill Richardson, has made it his mission to try to help – he's a former cabinet secretary, US Ambassador to the UN, and a longtime interlocutor with regimes like Russia, North Korea, and more to secure the release of American captives.  Also on today's show: Tara Tahbaz, the daughter of Morad Tahbaz, detained in Iran since 2019; Alexander Betts, author of “The Wealth of Refugees”; Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, Obesity Medicine Physician, Massachusetts General Hospital To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. **Tai-Ex opening ** The Tai-Ex opened up 9-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 15,827 on turnover of 1.8-billion N-T. The market closed slightly lower on Wednesday despite recouping most of its early losses sparked by remarks from U-S Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell - who warned that America's central bank could continue its current rate hike cycle. Foreign institutional investors turned cautious about further rate hikes by the U-S Fed, but local investors remained willing to pick up bargains on the local main board during the day's trading session to lend some support to the broader market. **Kevin McCarthy Confirms Tsai Meeting ** U-S House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has confirmed that he will meet with President Tsai Ing-wen in the United States early next month. However, McCarthy says that meeting does not preclude (排除) a possible trip to Taiwan at a later date. The U-S House speaker is also dismissing reports that the meeting in California is being held to avoid possible confrontation with China and that both sides were uneasy that a visit would severely increase cross-strait tensions if he were to visit Taiwan According to McCarthy, Beijing can't tell him where or when to go and the Taiwan president just happens to be in America. U-S State Department spokesman Ned Price is describing Tsai's travel as "transit" rather than a "visit" to the United States. **More Newborns Eligible for NT$6,000 Cash Handouts ** The Ministry of Finance has announced that babies born to Taiwanese citizens before the end of this year will be eligible (有資格的) to receive one-off cash payments of 6,000 N-T drawn from the government's 2022 tax surplus. The ministry had previously said that only children born within six months following the starting of disbursement of the tax rebates would be included in the groups eligible for the payments. However, the eligibility criteria has now been expanded to cover newborns born by December 31, 2023. Reports say the expansion of the cash handout program will require around 200-million N-T in additional funding. **Malaysia Summons Former PM for Abuse Allegations ** Malaysia's anti-graft agency has summoned former prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin following allegations of abuse in stimulus programmes launched under his leadership of the country. He's denied the accusations and described them as a political vendetta (仇殺、仇殺). Patrick Fok reports. **UN Criticizes Taliban Repression of Women and Girls ** The United Nations says that since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, the country has become the most repressive (嚴厲的, 強硬的) in the world for women and girls. The U.N. mission to Kabul said in a statement released Wednesday that Afghanistan's new rulers have shown an almost singular ( 特別的，奇特的) focus on imposing rules that leave most women and girls effectively trapped in their homes. The special representative of the U.N. secretary-general and head of the mission to Afghanistan, says it's ""been distressing to witness their methodical, deliberate, and systematic efforts to push Afghan women and girls out of the public sphere.” That was the I.C.R.T. news, Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded every day in the afternoon.

It's Friday, March 3rd, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) State Dept. urges Burmese military to release Christian leader On February 23rd, the U.S. government condemned the Myanmar military's arrest and detention of Baptist leader Hkalam Samson, reports International Christian Concern. Samson is the former head of the Kachin Baptist Convention, a group located in northern Myanmar's Kachin state that represents much of the nation's Christian minority. He was detained in December 2022 by authorities under the military junta that seized power two years ago.   State Department spokesman Ned Price issued this challenge. PRICE: “We condemn the Burma military regime's arrest and detention of prominent ethnic Kachin Christian leader Rev. [Hkalam] Samson. We are extremely concerned for his wellbeing and safety and encourage our partners and allies to join us in calling on the regime to drop all charges and immediately and unconditionally release Rev. Samson.” Pastor arrested for objecting to children's drag queen story hour Yesterday afternoon, Pastor Derek Reimer was arrested by members of the dictatorial Calgary Police Service after being warned the previous day there were two warrants out for his arrest because he protested at a children's drag queen story time at a public library last weekend, reports LifeSiteNews.com. A video, posted online by Rebel News, shows Reimer, who serves as the pastor of Mission7 street ministry, being put into the back of a police cruiser by two female officers. Tucker Carlson of Fox News described the scene that had been videotaped by Rebel News, one of the few conservative Canadian outlets. CARLSON: “The pastor, sitting in a car with bars on the windows, getting hauled away to jail for being thrown to the ground at Drag Queen Story Hour.” Before the Canadian policewoman raised the rear window of the cop car in which Reimer was detained, he said, “This is what happens when we go against the drag queens.”  She was able to cut off the last word of his sentence. (Watch this video between 1:28 and 1:37.) Listen. REIMER: “This is what happens when you go against drag [queens.]” This past Saturday, Reimer had been protesting at a kids' Drag Queen Story Time event held at the Seton Calgary public library. Outrageously, the pastor was ruffed up and thrown to the ground for simply verbally opposing the sexualization of children at taxpayers' expense. Ezra Levant, Founder of Rebel News, appeared with Tucker Carlson on Fox News. LEVANT: “Tucker, you have done more journalism on Christian pastors being jailed in Canada than most Canadian media. In fact, the Canadian media either ignore it or cheer it on, calling these people bigots.” He explained who inspired the arrest of Pastor Reimer. LEVANT: “The Left wing mayor of Calgary, [Jyoti Gondek], went on a Twitter rant saying that anyone who lies or engages in vitriol or is full of hate should be arrested and charged. Now, those aren't crimes, by the way. Some of them are a matter of opinion. I could think that the mayor is full of hate. But after the mayor basically directed police to arrest peaceful protesters, they did.” Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil."

Plus, you can encourage Pastor Reimer with a 1-2 sentence email. derek@mission7ministries.com (7 is the number) Christian host Todd Starnes calls for Biden's impeachment As the Conservative Political Action Conference got underway yesterday in Fort Washington, Maryland, Christian talk show host Todd Starnes, in a sit-down conversation on stage with Republican Congressman Ralph Norman of South Carolina, called for the impeachment of President Joe Biden. STARNES: “I know that Speaker McCarthy said a couple of months back that he's seen nothing that Biden's done that would be worthy of impeachment.  But it seems violating the oath of office and not protecting this nation from enemies foreign and domestic, letting that balloon invade our airspace, that is worthy of impeachment.” Lesbian Chicago mayor defeated Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who made headlines a couple of years ago when she became the first black woman and first homosexual to lead the Windy City, has lost reelection, reports The Christian Post.  She entered into a faux marriage with Amy Eshelman in 2015 when it was first possible to do so. On Tuesday, Lightfoot came in third place, finishing behind long-serving public school official Paul Vallas and Cook County Commissioner Brandon Johnson. Vallas, who ran on a staunchly pro-police platform, and Johnson, who had strong backing from liberals and labor unions, will square off in a runoff mayoral election on April 4. FCA ships $1 million of sports equipment to Ukrainian coaches and athletes And finally, Fellowship of Christian Athletes is partnering with Convoy of Hope to send a full shipping container which includes 40 pallets of sports equipment to Ukraine. The total value of the materials is over $1 million. Sasha Aleksandrov, FCA Ukraine Director, said, “Because of the war, sports equipment has been destroyed or abandoned.” Hundreds of FCA staff, volunteers, and donors came together from across America to donate new and used equipment for Ukrainian coaches and athletes. Andriy Kravtsov said, “My heart is full of joy because I see the goodness of God through faithful and generous people.” Acts 20:35 says, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, March 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

El Comité para la Protección de los Periodistas exigió a las autoridades de Guatemala liberar al dueño de un periódico opositor arrestado en julio pasado y frenar las investigaciones contra comunicadores de ese medio. El martes pasado, un juez guatemalteco abrió un segundo proceso penal contra José Rubén Zamora, presidente y dueño del diario opositor El Periódico que se encuentra en prisión preventiva desde julio pasado. Según la acusación formal, el periodista supuestamente intentó frenar una investigación en su contra por supuesto lavado de dinero en 2021. Además, el magistrado aceptó la petición del Ministerio Público de investigar a varios periodistas y columnistas de ese rotativo, el cual ha publicado reportajes sobre la corrupción estatal en Guatemala. "Impedir la crítica" El Comité para la Protección de los Periodistas exigió a las autoridades liberar a Zamora y frenar las investigaciones contra los comunicadores de ese medio.  La Asociación de Periodistas de Guatemala también rechazó las investigaciones y las calificó como "un nuevo intento de criminalizar la libertad de expresión".  "Los periodistas en estos momentos sentimos que hay un acoso, un intento del poder público para impedir el libre ejercicio de la profesión, impedir la crítica. En el caso del periódico que dirigía el periodista José Rubén Zamora, quien está preso desde hace más de un año, supuestamente la acusación es de lavado de dinero, pero enseguida se iniciaron procedimientos penales en contra del personal del periódico, la administración, los financieros y últimamente los periodistas", detalla para RFI Byron Barrera, el presidente de la Asociación de Periodistas de Guatemala (APG). "Eso violenta el sistema legal, violenta el sistema democrático, porque existe un procedimiento de Tribunales de Imprenta, establecido por una Ley de Emisión del Pensamiento que tiene carácter constitucional, y los jueces y el Ministerio Público saben que el procedimiento establecido es de Tribunales de Imprenta especiales para juzgar situaciones de injuria, calumnia o difamación en que los periodistas se puedan ver envueltos. Sin embargo, ahora se están penalizando estas faltas y eso es lo grave, porque está causando la sensación en los medios de prensa, en los periodistas, de que existe una persecución de hecho", subraya Barrera. "Se ve como un castigo" Según el presidente de la APG, si el rotativo El Periódico está particularmente en la mira, es porque "hay un antes y un después de la Comisión Internacional Contra la Impunidad en Guatemala, que funcionó bajo el patrocinio de las Naciones Unidas, la CICIG: cuando el gobierno anterior de Jimmy Morales expulsó a la CICIG, se inició una especie de venganza contra todas las personas que estuvieron apoyando la lucha contra la corrupción. Y una de ellas fue precisamente El Periódico, que siempre ha generado un espacio de investigación y de denuncia. Pues la percepción que hay es que efectivamente se trata de un caso de persecución". Además, si bien "ha habido muchos casos con acusaciones de mayor gravedad donde se le ha dado medida sustitutiva, arresto domiciliario a personajes de la política, en cambio, en el caso de José Rubén Zamora, lo tienen prisionero, incomunicado, en condiciones infrahumanas, y entonces esto se ve como un castigo a la labor que él hizo en favor de la lucha contra la corrupción", recalca. Zamora será sometido a un polémico juicio el 2 de mayo por una primera acusación de supuesto blanqueo de fondos. Según la Fiscalía, participó en una trama de chantaje y lavado por unos 37.500 dólares contra empresarios a cambio de no publicar información que les perjudicaría. El periodista, de 66 años, se autocalifica como un "perseguido político" y estima que las imputaciones fueron montadas por el presidente guatemalteco, Alejandro Giammattei, y la fiscal general, Consuelo Porras, para silenciar sus publicaciones sobre corrupción. El gobierno estadounidense se dijo este jueves "preocupado" por las investigaciones contra los periodistas en Guatemala y estimó que "criminalizar" el trabajo de la prensa "socava las normas democráticas", afirmó este jueves el portavoz del Departamento de Estado estadounidense, Ned Price.

222 presos políticos excarcelados y desterrados por la dictadura de Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo llegaron a Washington DC. EE.UU. la tarde de este jueves 9 de febrero. Según una publicación del diario The New York Times, que cita a altos funcionarios de la Administración de Joe Biden, la dictadura nicaragüense acordó con EE.UU. la excarcelación y destierro de los exprisioneros políticos. Sin embargo, el Gobierno de Biden comunicó a los congresistas estadounidenses que fue una “decisión unilateral” del régimen de Nicaragua. En su monólogo diario en los medios oficiales, la vicepresidenta y vocera del régimen, Rosario Murillo, afirmó que la excarcelación de los más de 200 reos de conciencia responde a la necesidad de “buscar la paz de Nicaragua”. Ned Price, portavoz del Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos, aseguró en conferencia de prensa este jueves, que las sanciones y otras restricciones del Gobierno estadounidense hacia el Gobierno de Nicaragua, continúan vigentes. Una fuente vinculada al Gobierno de EE. UU. comentó a CONFIDENCIAL que, desde la imposición de sanciones estadounidenses al régimen, “siempre se entendió que la puerta estaba abierta a una mejor relación de EE. UU., basada en el cambio de comportamiento del régimen. Esta liberación unilateral representa un primer paso”, recalcó la fuente. Las personas nicaragüenses excarceladas por el Gobierno de Ortega y Murillo fueron admitidas en EE. UU. bajo el parole humanitario, un permiso de permanencia temporal que les permite vivir y trabajar en ese país por un periodo de dos años.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that Moscow was open to talks with the the US or with Turkey on ending the war in Ukraine, claiming that US officials are lying when they say Russia has been refusing peace talks. Lavrov's claim was given more weight when US State Department spokesman Ned Price dismissed the offer for peace talks shortly after it was extended, citing Russia's recent missile strikes on Kyiv. Reading by Tim Foley.

Tensions between Greece and Turkey are spreading across the Mediterranean from Libya to the divided island of Cyprus. The risk of a confrontation is threatening to draw in fellow Nato allies. The Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu this week announced in Tripoli the signing of a memorandum with Libya's government of national unity for the joint exploration of hydrocarbon reserves in Libya's offshore waters and national territory Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias swiftly challenged the agreement's legitimacy, claiming it infringed on Greek waters. Turkey's deepening economic and military ties with the Libyan government is the latest point of tension between Athens and Ankara. Moreover, relations between the Nato partners are becoming increasingly fraught, mainly because of territorial disputes. These conflicts are now putting ties between the United States and Turkey under pressure. "The ones standing with the Greeks just for the sake of pleasing the Greeks should not expect friendship from us," warned Cavusoglu.  "Because Turkey will not bow down to such acts. Turkey will take necessary steps in Cyprus." Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had earlier announced that Turkey would increase its military presence in Cyprus after Washington lifted its military arms embargo on the Greek Cypriot administration. On Friday, Erdogan declared that military drones had been deployed on Cyprus.  The Mediterranean Island has been divided between Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities since 1974. The Greek Cypriot administration is the only internationally recognised government.  Washington's action comes as State Department spokesman Ned Price appeared to offer support to Athens amid rising tensions with Ankara over Greek islands in the Aegean Sea. Don't inflame tensions in the islands "Greece's sovereignty over these islands is not in question. But we call on countries, including our allies, to respect territorial integrity and sovereignty and avoid actions that inflame tensions," said Price. Ankara has condemned Greece's militarisation of some of its islands close to Turkish shores, which Turkey claims violate an international agreement. Athens insists it is protecting its territory from Turkish threats. Political scientist Cengiz Aktar of the University of Athens says the Greek government is calculating that it has Washington's support and is in no mood to back down from what it considers Turkish bullying. "There is a common wisdom in Greece, don't belittle small countries. We have a live example of Ukraine and Russia. "I mean, yes, the Greeks are ready," said political scientist Cengiz Aktar of the University of Athens. Athens insists its militarisation of the islands is in response to the threat posed by Turkey, whose military forces, in many cases, are less than a kilometer distant from Greek islands. Athanasios Drougos, a defense analyst at Greece's War College, warns that Ankara's hardening stance will lead to a stronger response from Athens. The Greek right of self defence "The Greek position is based on the right of self defence. "I would say there are some provocative military exercises, some drills, they bother Greece quite a lot.  "So, for the time being, I can tell you there is no option for Greece to demilitarise the islands," Greek and Turkish warplanes routinely challenge one another in disputed airspace over the Aegean Sea. Both are continuing to build up their military presence. On Thursday, Erdogan reiterated his threat to the Greek militarised islands. "This applies to Greece and any country that disturbs us and attacks us. Our response to them is: 'We may suddenly arrive one night.' They should be aware of this and understand this," said Erdogan. Turkish-Greek tensions are nothing new. The two edged to the brink of war in 1996 over an uninhabited islet. US intervention prevented open hostilities. But with Turkey saying Greece is using US-supplied weapons to militarise its islands, observers say Washington's status as an honest broker is in question.  Turkish-US relations are already strained over Erodgan's ties with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and doubts over Turkey's loyalty to Nato.  On Friday, the two leaders held talks by phone to discuss deepening ties.  Region moving closer to war Asli Aydintasbas, a visiting fellow of the Brookings Institution, a Washington research group, says she is worried the region is moving closer to war.  "We are used to occasional flare-ups in this relationship, but I think right now, the global environment is very uncertain, chaotic, and almost conducive to a military confrontation between Turkey and Greece," said Aydintasbas. "The dynamics have changed," she added. "Turkey no longer feels a strong and firm member of the western camp or NATO alliance. It is still NATO, but obviously also interested in having alternatives. And Turkey is also a whole lot more self-confident than it used to be. Meanwhile, Greece feels that there's been a big change in Greece as well," said Aydintasbas. For now, neither Athens nor Ankara appears ready to step back. Cavusoglu said last month that Turkey was prepared to resolve tensions diplomatically but warned the country wouldn't hesitate to use hard power if diplomacy failed and Turkish interests were threatened.

On COI #313, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman cover China, North Korea, Russia, Afghanistan, and Iran news. Kyle discusses the U.S. Navy's plans to send warships and warplanes into the Taiwan Strait. The Seventh Fleet intends to “contest” China's recent actions such as firing missiles over the island in response to Nancy Pelosi's provocative visit. Given the dangerous state of U.S.-China relations, further American aggressiveness could vastly escalate already soaring tensions. Besides China, North Korea is feeling squeezed by the American Empire and has recently conducted more cruise missile tests. The U.S. is currently conducting war games with Japan and South Korea and has more planned with Seoul, kicking off next week, that could include many tens of thousands of troops. Russian territory is continually being attacked in Crimea by U.S./NATO backed Ukraine. An explosion just rocked an ammunition depot in the northern part of the peninsula, with unnamed Ukrainian officials again taking credit as with similar incidents last week. This could drastically increase tensions. This comes soon after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky complained about recent leaks regarding Kiev's war effort and defense plans. President Joe Biden received a letter this week from 77 family members of 9/11 victims demanding that he release the $7 billion in Afghan central bank reserves held by the FED. U.S. officials recently said they would not be returning any of the money to Afghanistan, even though millions of people are facing death by starvation as a result of the sanctions policy against the Taliban as well as the liquidity crisis exacerbated by Washington's theft. Biden signed an executive order that would make $3.5 billion of the Afghan funds available to 9/11 families. The letter's signatories said this would be “legally suspect and morally wrong.” They said the money belongs to the Afghan people. Iran says there are three issues that must be resolved before they can agree to sign the ostensibly “final” draft the EU has proposed to restore the JCPOA. Washington initially refused to negotiate the draft text they already accepted. However, a day later the State Department spokesman Ned Price announced they were studying Iran's response to the European bloc. The Kuwaitis have appointed an ambassador to Iran and there are indications the UAE may follow suit soon. This throws at least some cold water on efforts to build a NATO style, anti-Iran alliance led by Washington and Tel Aviv. The Israeli national security adviser is headed to Washington reportedly out of fear that the U.S. may actually be considering reentering the JCPOA.   Odysee Rumble  Donate LBRY Credits bTTEiLoteVdMbLS7YqDVSZyjEY1eMgW7CP Donate Bitcoin 36PP4kT28jjUZcL44dXDonFwrVVDHntsrk Donate Bitcoin Cash Qp6gznu4xm97cj7j9vqepqxcfuctq2exvvqu7aamz6 Patreon Subscribe Star YouTube Facebook  Twitter  MeWe Apple Podcast  Amazon Music Google Podcasts Spotify iHeart Radio Support Our Sponsor Visit Paloma Verde and use code PEACE for 20% off our CBD

Speaking to a large group of teachers union members, Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) brings up a bizarre proposal to extend the current school week for K-12 students to six days - why on Earth would he suggest this? Also, State Department spokesperson Ned Price attempts to sell us a bill of goods, Baghdad Bob-style, suggesting the United States is actually safer one year later after the completely disastrous military withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Good Monday everyone, this is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief, for Monday, June 27th, 2022. Before I dive into the news, here’s something I want to remind you of immediately! Lies, Propaganda, Story Telling, and the Serrated Edge: This year our national conference is in Knoxville, TN October 6th-8th. The theme of this year’s conference is Lies, Propaganda, Storytelling and the Serrated Edge. Satan is the father of lies, and the mother of those lies is a government who has rejected God. We have especially been lied to these last two years, and the COVIDpanic has been one of the central mechanisms that our government has used to lie to us and to grab more power. Because Christians have not been reading their bibles, we are susceptible to lies and weak in our ability to fight these lies. God has given us His word to fight Satan and his lies, and we need to recover all of God’s word, its serrated edge and all. Mark your calendars for October 6th-8th, as we fight, laugh and feast with fellowship, beer and Psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, hanging with our awesome vendors, meeting new friends, and more. Early bird tickets are available now, but will be gone before you know it!.. This Thursday! Sign up now at flfnetwork.com Now… here’s what you may have missed, over the weekend… The Tampa Bay Lightning had done just enough to force a game 6, and last night it came down to the wire: Stanley Cup Final Game 6: Colorado Avalanche vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Full Game Highlights -Play 8:31-9:01 The Colorado Avalanche are your new Stanley Cup Champions, after defeating Tampa Bay 2-1 in game 6. I was sort of hoping I’d get to see a 3-peat out of the lightning, but the Avalanche clearly deserved to win this series, so congratulations to them! https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2022/06/27/california-working-on-denying-gun-permits-based-on-ideological-viewpoints-n478907 California working on denying gun permits based on "ideological viewpoints" The Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen on Thursday didn’t simply shoot down New York’s onerous “good-cause requirement” in the gun permit application process. It set up similar laws in other states for likely revocation. One of those states is California, where they have their own requirement that applicants must show a “good cause” or “special need” before a carry permit is issued. State Attorney General Rob Bonta sent out a letter on Friday to law enforcement and government attorneys noting the change and saying that the state’s current “may issue” regime should be able to be converted to a “shall issue” regime with few modifications. So that’s good news, right? Not so fast. As Eugene Volokh points out at Reason, Bonta pivoted from signaling compliance with the new SCOTUS ruling to identifying another way to deny permits to people with no criminal record. He claims that the ruling will not impact the existing requirement for applicants to be able to demonstrate that they are “of good moral character.” On that basis, the state can start snooping around to see if you hold any unauthorized opinions or are prone to demonstrate “hatred and racism.” And how would they know that? Well, by going through your social media accounts, of course. Other jurisdictions list the personal characteristics one reasonably expects of candidates for a public-carry license who do not pose a danger to themselves or others. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s policy, for example, currently provides as follows: “Legal judgments of good moral character can include consideration of honesty, trustworthiness, diligence, reliability, respect for the law, integrity, candor, discretion, observance of fiduciary duty, respect for the rights of others, absence of hatred and racism, fiscal stability, profession-specific criteria such as pledging to honor the constitution and uphold the law, and the absence of criminal conviction.” [Emphasis added.] As a starting point for purposes of investigating an applicant’s moral character, many issuing authorities require personal references and/or reference letters. Investigators may personally interview applicants and use the opportunity to gain further insight into the applicant’s character. And they may search publicly-available information, including social media accounts, in assessing the applicant’s character. As Volokh goes on to explain, this entire scheme appears to be completely unconstitutional. It’s a violation of the First Amendment before we even begin to examine how it would hold up under the Second Amendment. The government is not allowed to restrict your actions or suspend your Constitutional rights based on the viewpoints you express, even if they are unpopular with the current regime. https://americanmilitarynews.com/2022/06/us-troops-surpass-100000-in-europe The U.S. military has steadily built up its presence in Europe in the four months since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began. More than 100,000 U.S. troops are in Europe today, compared to around 70,000 around the start of the Russian invasion. Last week, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the U.S. “increased the number of U.S. troops in Europe from roughly 70,000 to more than 100,000 over these last months.” In addition to the overall U.S. force size in Europe, Stoltenberg noted there are more than 40,000 troops from various countries under NATO’s direct command that are positioned on the eastern edge of the alliance. NATO’s force consists of troops from a variety of alliance member nations. In a May 20 U.S. State Department press briefing, department spokesman Ned Price had confirmed the U.S. plans to maintain an ongoing presence of 100,000 troops in Europe. While the U.S. presence in Europe has risen in response to Russia, questions remain about whether the U.S. can maintain this presence in the long run. With no plans for the U.S. and NATO to directly intervene in the conflict in Ukraine — beyond providing Ukrainian forces weapons, supplies and training — the missions of U.S. and NATO forces is primarily to ensure the conflict in Ukraine doesn’t spill over into NATO countries. Bradley Bowman, senior director of the Center on Military and Political Power at the Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank told the Washington Times last week that the U.S. troop build-up in Europe could come at the expense of U.S. readiness in other parts of the world, like the Indo-Pacific region where Chinese forces have expanded their presence. So that’s what’s going on overseas, let’s shift back to the home front, where I’ve got to ask you… are you happy with your job? Because if not, I want to tell you about RedBalloon! Redballoon Not so long ago, the American dream was alive and well. Employees who worked hard were rewarded, and employers looked for people who could do the job, not for people who had the right political views. RedBalloon.work is a job site designed to get us back to what made American businesses successful: free speech, hard work, and having fun. If you are a free speech employer who wants to hire employees who focus on their work and not identity politics, then post a job on RedBalloon. If you are an employee who is being censored at work or is being forced to comply with the current zeitgeist, post your resume on RedBalloon and look for a new job. redballoon.work, the job site where free speech is still alive! https://thepostmillennial.com/pro-abortion-activist-arrested-for-allegedly-attacking-police-with-flamethrower?utm_campaign=64487 Suspect accused of using flamethrower in attack at Los Angeles Antifa riot charged with attempted murder Pro-abortion activist Michael Ortiz was arrested on June 26th after allegedly attacking police with a makeshift flamethrower during a violent riot over the reversal of Roe v. Wade. As the New York Post reports, several others were arrested during the Los Angeles riot, including 23-year-old Juliana Bernardo who allegedly tried to steal a police officer's baton amid skirmishes with law enforcement. The pro-abortion protestors shut down the LA freeway, harassed and attacked drivers, broke building windows, and lobbed a firework explosive at police. Video posted by The Post Millennial's Andy Ngo shows Ortiz discharging the makeshift weapon while hiding behind a black bloc militant who was holding an umbrella. Ortiz allegedly fired the flames around 8:20 pm amidst a progressively violent riot. LAPD Police Chief Michel Moore said in a statement that, "Individuals participating in such criminal activity are not exercising their 1st Amendment rights in protest of the Supreme Court decision. Rather, they are acting as criminals. The Department will vigorously pursue prosecution of these individuals." The violence comes after radical pro-abortion groups have called for nationwide protests including one group, Jane's Revenge, promising a "Night of Rage" to protest the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade. Now let’s end with some good news, and the topic that I love… sports! https://www.foxnews.com/politics/high-school-football-coach-scores-big-win-supreme-court-post-game-prayer High school football coach scores big win at Supreme Court over post-game prayer The Supreme Court handed a big win to a former Washington high school football coach who lost his job over reciting a prayer on the 50-yard line after games. At issue was whether a public school employee praying alone but in view of students was engaging in unprotected "government speech," and if it is not government speech, does it still pose a problem under the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. The Supreme Court ruled Monday in a 6-3 decision that the answer to both questions is no. "Here, a government entity sought to punish an individual for engaging in a brief, quiet, personal religious observance doubly protected by the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment. And the only meaningful justification the government offered for its reprisal rested on a mistaken view that it had a duty to ferret out and suppress," Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the Court's opinion. "Religious observances even as it allows comparable secular speech. The Constitution neither mandates nor tolerates that kind of discrimination." Joe Kennedy was a junior varsity head coach and varsity assistant coach with the Bremerton School District in Washington from 2008 to 2015. He began the practice of reciting a post-game prayer by himself, but eventually students started joining him. According to court documents, this evolved into motivational speeches that included religious themes. After an opposing coach brought it to the principal's attention, the school district told Kennedy to stop. He did, temporarily, then notified the school that he would resume the practice. The situation garnered media attention, and when Kennedy announced that he would go back to praying on the field, it raised security concerns. When he did pray after the game, a number of people stormed the field in support. The school district then offered to let Kennedy pray in other locations before and after games, or for him to pray on the 50-yard line after everyone else had left the premises, but he refused, insisting that he would continue his regular practice. After continuing the prayers at two more games, the school district placed Kennedy on leave. "That reasoning was misguided," the majority opinion said. "Both the Free Exercise and Free Speech Clauses of the First Amendment protect expressions like Mr. Kennedy’s. Nor does a proper understanding of the Amendment’s Establishment Clause require the government to single out private religious speech for special disfavor. " Gorsuch stated that not just the Constitution, but "the best of our traditions" call for "mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike." The Court's ruling also stated that there is a distinct reason for why speech like Kennedy's is protected by both the Free Speech and Free Exercise Clauses. "That the First Amendment doubly protects religious speech is no accident. It is a natural outgrowth of the framers’ distrust of government attempts to regulate religion and suppress dissent," Gorsuch wrote. Another win, by the Supreme Court… Keep our Supreme Court Justices in your prayers, as they will undoubtedly be a target.

Emma hosts Amia Srinivasan, Professor of Social and Political Theory at the University of Oxford, to discuss her recent book The Right to Sex: Feminism in the 21st Century. Then Emma is joined by Melanie D'Arrigo, candidate for Congress in New York's 3rd district, to give us an update from the campaign trail. Prof. Srinivasan and Emma dive right into the biggest news of the last two weeks, taking on their initial reactions to the Roe v. Wade leak, from the instinctive and personal horror to deranged awe for the American conservatives seeing their strategy of the last half-century finally come to fruition, before getting into the questions this decision raises and what the future of reproductive rights looks like when the party defending them is constantly inert. Next, they turn to Professor Srinivasan's book, looking at the divide between the sphere of politics and the private sphere, and how she follows in the path of emphasizing the inherently political nature of feminism and sex. First looking to the feminisms of the ‘60s and '70, Emma and Amia discuss this repoliticization of private issues, as concepts like abortion, family structure, childcare, and education became central to the feminist fight, alongside a birth of sex positivity, before the ‘80s rolled around and saw pushback amidst feelings of encouraging sex on men's terms, looking beyond just consent at the larger coercive factors. This brings Professor Srinivasan to an analysis of the neoliberal market ideology, with consent and contracts as the only moral factor, considering sexual freedom along the same lines of tradeoffs, particularly around status, and how this analysis can be used to pushback, particularly against incel misogyny. They then look to the development of feminisms' stances on porn, with the antithesis to sex positivity seeing porn as the lynchpin of patriarchy and a training ground for men's subjugation of women, despite the large inaccessibility of porn at the time, before the boom of the internet in the 21st Century saw it become almost ubiquitous in much of the Western world, and thus plagued by monopoly and corruption as a neoliberal institution. Emma and Amia pin that conversation with a discussion on the importance of a sex-worker-owned-and-led world of porn as the only one where they can have a sense of security, before they wrap up the interview with a discussion on #MeToo, and the racialization and classism involved in rape accusations and where they go in the legal world. Then, Melanie D'Arrigo discusses her campaign in NY-3, and engaging as a progressive with notoriously conservative constituents. Emma also covers Israel's murder of journalist Shereen Abu Aqleh, Finland getting closer to joining NATO, and Manchin's objection to giving women rights, when that's not what some Americans want! And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt and Brandon as they listen in awe to Randy Zuckerberg's crypto anthem sequel, before having an extensive discussion on the recent crypto collapse and the role of Luna and Terra currencies in the drop. Bryan in the Poconos gives some updates on the PA Senate race on both the left and right, Ned Price, representing Biden's administration, does anything but address Israeli war crimes, entrusting the IDF to investigate whether or not they're murderers, and the crew discusses constitutional reform and Latin America. Jordan Peterson declares the Bible as the basis for truth itself and Dennis Prager gets covid (again), plus, your calls and IMs!

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Brussels for NATO meetings today. State Department spokesman Ned Price talks to Leila Fadel about objectives that could include tougher sanctions on Russia. And in Ivano-Frankivsk, in the western part of Ukraine, a bakery that shuttered for two weeks during the war has resumed business. As Scott Detrow reports, it even employs Ukrainians displaced from other parts of the country.

*) Ukraine president warns Russian forces regrouping to attack south Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Russia is preparing "powerful strikes" in the country's south, including besieged Mariupol. In peace talks, Russia has said it will scale back attacks on the capital Kiev and the city of Chernihiv. But Ukrainian and Western officials dismiss the pledge, saying Moscow's troops are regrouping. "This is part of their tactics," Zelenskyy has said. He has warned that the situation in the country's south is "very difficult". *) Ukraine: Russian forces block buses leaving Mariupol Ukraine has accused Russian forces of blocking a convoy of 45 buses attempting to evacuate people trapped in Mariupol. Only 631 people were able to get out of the city in private cars, according to Kiev. Russian forces have also seized 14 tonnes of food and medical supplies in a dozen buses, Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk has said. The humanitarian operation was initiated after the Russian military agreed to a limited ceasefire in the area. *) Pakistan's Imran Khan accuses US of conspiracy Prime Minister Imran Khan has accused the United States of meddling in Pakistan's politics. Washington has conspired with the Pakistani opposition to oust him, according to Khan. Washington denies the charge. State Department spokesperson Ned Price has said there is "no truth" to the allegations. Khan is fighting for his political life and faces a no-confidence motion in parliament. *) Security forces deployed in Colombo after night of violence Security forces have been deployed in Sri Lanka's capital after protesters tried to storm the president's house to protest a deepening economic crisis. Police in Colombo have said they arrested 45 people after the unrest, in which one man was critically injured. Hundreds marched on President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's house on Thursday night, demanding his resignation. The South Asian nation of 22 million people is facing widespread shortages of essential goods, sharp price rises and long power cuts. And, finally... *) Police were 'ready to arrest' Smith after Oscar slap Police were ready to arrest Will Smith after he slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars, the show's producer has said. Police said they were prepared to arrest Smith and told Rock he could press charges, Will Packer has told ABC Television. In his first public comments on the incident, Packer has added that Rock was dismissive of those options and said he was fine. Packer's remarks echoed a Los Angeles police spokesperson who too had said Rock declined to file a report.

Sam Carrick — who was playing in his 100th NHL game — scored twice for Anaheim, marking the first multigoal game of his six-year career.

The Cougars are playing only a three-hour drive from home. NCAA – Study: Michigan, Kentucky top academics-based NCAA brackets Michigan and Kentucky stood out in a study examining the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournament brackets based on graduation rates, academic success and diversity in the head coaching ranks.

It has been three years since family patriarch Joe Ricketts apologized after online media outlet Splinter News published emails featuring him making Islamophobic comments, such as “Islam is a cult and not a religion.” Paul Canoville, Chelsea’s first Black player, tweeted “a big fat anti racism NO to the Ricketts bid.” The Ricketts family says it “rejects any form of hate in the strongest possible terms.” MLB – Lynn ready if needed to start on opening day for White Sox Lance Lynn says he’s not particularly concerned about who starts on opening day for the Chicago White Sox. Manager Tony La Russa hasn’t announced whether Lynn or Lucas Giolito will get the ball when the White Sox face Detroit on April 8. Lynn says “it’s awesome” that the White Sox have multiple potential opening day starters. Lynn finished third in the American League Cy Young Award voting last season. He made his spring debut on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. WNBA – Griner seen by US consulate in Russian detention facility The U.S. State Department says a U.S. Embassy official has visited with WNBA star Brittney Griner, who remains detained near Moscow, to check on her condition. State Department spokesperson Ned Price told CNN the official found Griner “to be in good condition.” Price did not identify the official who had been granted consular access to Griner, something the United States had been demanding. Griner was detained after arriving at a Moscow airport, reportedly in mid-February, after Russian authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges that allegedly contained oil derived from cannabis, which could carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. COVID – New York City to let unvaccinated athletes play home games New York city’s mayor will announce Thursday that he’s exempting athletes and performers from the city’s vaccine mandate for private workers. The move will allow Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving to play home games, and let unvaccinated baseball players take the field when their season begins. According to a person familiar with the upcoming announcement who was not authorized to discuss it publicly, Mayor Eric Adams will make the announcement Thursday morning. It will be effective immediately. The city’s sweeping vaccine mandate for workers will still apply to people with other types of jobs, including government employees. NFL – Lions add ex-Chiefs CB Mike Hughes, ex-Ravens LB Chris Board The Detroit Lions have addressed pressing needs, signing cornerback Mike Hughes and linebacker Chris Board.

She’s spent the last two years atop the women’s tennis rankings and won two of the last three Grand Slam singles titles.

Be patient.” Russia/Ukraine – Russian Olympians face backlash after Vladimir Putin rally Russian Olympic athletes who participated in a rally supporting President Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine are facing a backlash. They gathered on stage at the Luzhniki Stadium on Friday as part of the concert and entertainment program around Putin’s speech.

On COI #251, Kyle Anzalone and Connor Freeman break down the latest Iran deal news, Senator Rand Paul's support for the JCPOA, the ongoing genocide in Yemen, and the war industry's profiteering. Connor covers London settling decades old debts with Tehran, a new IAEA report on Iran's uranium hexafluoride processing, the Ayatollah's support for the JCPOA talks, and Ned Price's attempts to dampen optimism on the agreement's seemingly “imminent” finalization. Kyle talks about his new article running on Responsible Statecraft about Senator Paul's break with Donald Trump and the GOP Senate's otherwise unanimous opposition to the Iran nuclear deal. Kyle discusses the latest developments on the ground in the Yemen war, the drastic uptick in Saudi air raids, the data on civilian targets hit as well as 161,000 Yemenis now facing famine. Kyle also details how the economic war on Russia will worsen conditions by raising the prices of food already scarce within besieged Yemen. Connor talks Washington's plans to replenish weapons stocks sent to Ukraine, particularly the Javelin anti-tank systems and Stinger missiles. An idea currently being floated is to institute the Defense Production Act to rapidly ramp up manufacturing of these arms. The military industrial complex is explicitly ecstatic at the prospects of further conflict and tensions in Yemen, the South China Sea, as well as the ongoing Ukraine war.

*) Kherson facing ‘humanitarian catastrophe' Some 300,000 people stranded in the Ukrainian city of Kherson face a “humanitarian catastrophe” as they run dangerously low on supplies under a Russian blockade. Ukraine's foreign ministry spokesperson warned that “food and medical supplies have almost run out, yet Russia refuses to open humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians”. Oleg Nikolenko said “Russia's barbaric tactics must be stopped before it is too late!” *) Russia seized relief workers in Mariupol convoy Ukrainian leaders have accused Russia of seizing 15 rescue workers and drivers from a humanitarian convoy trying to get vital supplies into the besieged port city of Mariupol. Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said the Russians seized 11 bus drivers and four rescue workers along with their vehicles, adding that their fate was unknown. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russian forces of blocking the aid convoy despite agreeing to the route ahead of time in his nightly video address. *) US changes tone over Iran nuclear deal US optimism that a deal to restore the 2015 agreement to limit Iran's nuclear development has soured, with Washington now warning it was headed toward "Plan B" if Tehran doesn't budge. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said that an agreement is neither imminent nor is it certain. He said the onus is on Tehran to make decisions that it might consider difficult. Just a week ago Washington officials were hopeful that an agreement that aimed to halt Iran's march toward nuclear weapons capability was within reach. *) Navalny's sentence extended to nine years in jail A Russian court has found jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny guilty of additional embezzlement and contempt of court charges and extended his sentence to nine years. Having been behind bars for over a year, Navalny's defence team said he will serve his sentence for another eight years in a higher security prison. Navalny, who will also have to pay a fine of $11,500, has denied the charges against him, saying they were punishment for challenging President Vladimir Putin. And, finally... *) Top-ranked Ash Barty quits tennis Top-ranked tennis player Ash Barty has announced her shock retirement from the sport in a social media post, saying she will “step away and chase other dreams”.

Full Hour | In today's final hour, Giordano welcomes back in attorney Wally Zimolong onto the Dom Giordano Program for an update on his case pushing back against Act 77, which was approved in a bipartisan fashion, loosened the mail-in balloting rules while ending straight-ticket voting. Zimolong takes us inside the back and forth with Commonwealth Court judges, discussing arguments made by judges, including one that brings race into the debate. In addition, Giordano and Zimolong tell about the detrimental nature of allowing lax mail-in voting, and both offer why Pennsylvanians would benefit by ending Act 77. Then, after Wally, Giordano circles back to strategizing the response to Putin's invasion into Ukraine, playing back a clip of CNN's Jim Sciutto asking Biden spokesperson Ned Price why the administration continues to refuse a no-fly zone. Giordano takes umbrage with this suggestion, again explaining how a no-fly-zone would be met with ramped up retaliation by Putin. In the clip, Sciutto asks whether Putin essentially has veto power, and Dom agrees with this sentiment in a sense, explaining that we need to be careful to not draw ourselves into the next World War.

NPR's Sarah McCammon speaks with Ned Price, spokesperson for the State Department, who says Russia is accusing U.S. and Ukraine of preparing biological weapons.

In today's episode:What will happen to the narrative when the media start actually doing its job? Matt Lee exposes the fact that State Department spokesman Ned Price has no way of proving anything he says, and Price wonders if Lee prefers Russian propaganda to his ownJen Psaki suggests that reporters who don't believe the ridiculous and inconsistent story about the fake president ordering a strike to take out an ISIS leader prefer ISIS propaganda to hersNancy Pelosi tells Olympic athletes that they should be scared to tell the truth about the CCPSenator Ron Johnson follows up with SecDef Austin about the DoD data showing massive increases in vaccine-related conditions, but the DoD has decided to chalk it all up to a glitch rather than answering questionsFake president Joe Biden spent $1.2 billion on at-home tests from China, but it turns out they don't work if they've been left out in cold winter temperatures and they don't really work anyway, so whoops!The global communists funded and executed the multi-pronged plan to get Joe Rogan removed from Spotify - shocking!January numbers show hundreds of thousands of jobs created above expectations, as do "revisions" for December and November, and we're supposed to pretend it's all true and applaud for Dear LeaderTrump announces support for the Freedom Convoy and welcomes them to Truth Social, coming soon.To support directly:anchor.fm/imyourmoderatorbtc via coinbase: 3MEh9J5sRvMfkWd4EWczrFr1iP3DBMcKk5Merch site: www.cancelcouture.com or shop.spreadshirt.com/cancel-coutureWriting at: imyourmoderator.substack.comFollow the podcast info stream: t.me/imyourmoderator or on Gab or Gettr @imyourmoderatorSupport the show (https://www.ko-fi.com/imyourmoderator) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Boys were reluctantly monitoring the opening ceremony for this year's Olympics, and China trotted out a Uyghur muslim, while NBC helped deliver the narrative. Chinese authorities remove a Dutch journalist during a report, and an AP reporter takes down Ned Price in a press conference. A Virginia mother tees off against the school board over mandates, and a doctor warns of medical totalitarianism amid the COVID-19 crackdown. Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells American Olympic athletes to shut up and dribble, and MSNBC holds the governor of Texas accountable for not being able to stop the rain from falling. Major news outlets completely ignore the Johns Hopkins report on COVID lockdowns, and a cold snap has consumed the country, as well as The Friday Five – Best Cold, Ice, Snow, and Freeze Songs.

Keri and Carter are joined by special guest Lee Stranahan, host of The Backstory on Radio Sputnik. Lee lays out a counter-narrative to the rising tensions in Ukraine, linking it to Russiagate propaganda. Carter remains skeptical of both the US and Russian government narratives, and after Lee's departure he and Keri laugh at Ned Price's pathetic press conference in which he attempts to pass off arbitrary claims as "evidence."

Journalists were critical during two exchanges Thursday; one between Jen Psaki and NPR's Ayesha Rascoe, in which Rascoe was skeptical about the story regarding civilian casualties during the raid that killed the leader of ISIS in Syria; and another exchange between State Department spokesman Ned Price and AP reporter Matt Lee, where Lee expressed skepticism about U.S. intel that suggests Russia may engineer a fake attack by Ukraine. #Biden #Russia #ISIS #war See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Boys hope they won't have a need for monoclonal antibodies, since the FDA pulled back on their use.

M&R have been looking forward to Friday all week long. As we watch the border crisis get more out of control, the Biden administration actively tries to prevent accurate coverage by the media. The need for vaccine boosters is being determined, but we are seeing more cases of break through cases, and still no addressing of natural immunities. Authorities in Trinidad and Tobago felt their time was wasted investigating the claims of Nicki Minaj, and they sounded off about it. An Ohio mayor told the school board they were guilty of child pornography, and demanded resignignations or they would face charges. American Airlines removed an asthmatic toddler from a flight, while the child can be heard struggling to breathe in video from the flight. Bill Maher interviewed Jimmy Kimmel, and Maher demonstrates why he may be liberals' voice of common sense. We were told that Americans that wanted to leave Afghanistan would be evacuated, and Ned Price tries to explain why there are still Americans there that want out. General Mark Milley is said to have communicated with China in a very treasonous way, and the general sloughed off the accusations, calling those types of calls “routine.” A Friday Five to honor National Women's Friendship Day -- Best Women Bands.

MVC&R are well aware that the situation in Afghanistan is complex, but thankfully Ned Price is around to confirm as much. The media completely freaked out over the Texas abortion law, which took effect at the beginning of September. Stella Parton seems to think American women have it worse than Afghan women, and Don Lemon isn't convinced that the stranded Americans in Afghanistan were actually left behind. The California teacher who bragged about removing the American flag has also been removed, and the State Department is telling Afghans to not move to California. “Mission Impossible” and other movies have been pushed back due to COVID, and a woman blasts a California school board demanding the removal of leftist teachers.
