Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 51-points this morning from Friday's close, at 20,839 on turnover of 6.8-billion N-T. The market closed up more than 500 points on Friday, led by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, after strong earnings from two major U-S tech giants overnight eased concerns about A-I demand despite U-S tariff disruptions. Inspection rules unchanged despite 1st ractopamine pork import: The Food and Drug Administration says it will keep current pork import inspection procedures in place. The statement comes despite the agency detecting ractopamine in imported pork for the first time since the ban on the leanness-enhancer was lifted in 2021. According to the F-D-A, pork imports will continue to undergo between 2 and 10-per cent batch inspections. The F-D-A says a 22.99-metric-ton shipment from Australia on April 29 tested positive for 0.001 parts per million of ractopamine -- well below the legal threshold (界限，水準). MOFA names chief secretary as new envoy to Ireland The secretary general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been named as the Lai administration's new top envoy to Ireland. According to a Cabinet personnel announcement, Daniel Tang will fill the vacancy (空缺) left by his immediate predecessor, Yang Zi-bao - whose resignation has been approved by the Presidential Office. Yang had served as Taiwan's representative to the European country since 2018. Tang has served as the foreign ministry's secretary general since February 2023 and was previously Taiwan's top envoy to South Korea and ambassador to the Marshall Islands. US Trump Iffy on Due Process US President Donald Trump says he doesn't see everyone in the the country getting due process (正當法律程序), as the Constitution states. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports. Nicaragua Withdraws from UNESCO Nicaragua has withdrawn from the U.N. cultural and educational body UNESCO because it awarded a prize celebrating press freedom to a Nicaraguan newspaper, La Prensa. UNESCO's director general announced she had received a letter Sunday morning from the Nicaraguan government announcing its withdrawal because of the attribution (歸屬) of the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. The 2025 award was attributed Saturday to La Prensa on the recommendation (推薦) of an international jury of media professionals. The prize jury hailed the newspaper's work in the face of “severe repression” and reporting from exile to "keep press freedom alive" in the Central American country. Nicaragua's government, led by President Daniel Ortega and his wife and co-president, Rosario Murillo, has been cracking down on dissent since it violently repressed protests in 2018, claiming they were backed by foreign powers that sought his overthrow.

Domain Cigars was one of several companies making their first trade show appearance at PCA 2025. Domain Cigars is a partnership between Esteban Disla and Daniel Lance. Disla is widely known for his tenure at the Nica Sueno factory, while Lance is an entrepreneur from the cigar business's retail side. Together, they own Domain Cigars and are partners in their Nicaraguan factory, Tabacalera Familia Disla S.A., as well as in Tobacco Brokerage and their farms. This structure allows them to operate as a fully vertically integrated business, managing production from seed to store. Although Domain Cigars did not launch a new product at the show, it was an important opportunity for them to present their offerings to numerous retailers. In addition, the operation is quietly building an all-star team. Recently, the factory has established a “residency,” bringing in two industry veterans to join the team: Kevin Baxter (formerly of Asylum) and Disla's brother Raul (formerly of NACSA). However, perhaps most importantly, Domain is less about being a cigar brand and more about being a tobacco company. Full PCA Report: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-wkI

On today's KITM, David Waldman delivers us to the weekend and parks us right under the cloud of another mass shooting. Well, you can't say this shooter was the quiet type who always kept to themselves that you'd never guess… Senator Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador and met Kilmar Abrego Garcia, yet neither one of their heads have appeared on pikes behind Donald K. Trump in a press briefing, so I guess things are better than I thought, and less what Sebastian Gorka wishes they were. A judge has also kept Trump from ordering hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to leave the country, but like the heads on pikes, we don't know what this weekend will bring. Trump did promise to end the war in Ukraine easily within 24 hours. Of course, if it takes longer, or becomes difficult, that offer is void. Measles and E. coli spread, but not as fast as Russian chatbot disinformation.

Marc Cox welcomes tax attorney and former IRS counsel Rosemary Becchi to break down the immigration legal battle unfolding under the Biden and Trump administrations. Becchi exposes how an Obama-appointed judge is blocking Trump's attempt to end a special immigration parole program—CHNV—covering Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans flown into the U.S. under Biden's executive order. Rosemary clarifies that the ruling doesn't protect all illegals—just this narrow group. Marc highlights the chaos of case-by-case reviews, the expected Supreme Court fight, and California's staggering $2B budget plea to fund Medicaid for illegal immigrants. It's another example of Biden's immigration disaster now falling into Trump's lap.

It's Tuesday, April 15th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nicaraguan government cancels Resurrection celebrations The Nicaraguan government is cancelling Resurrection week celebrations, and replacing them with their own events, reports International Christian Concern. Exiled Nicaraguan leader Felix Maradiaga explains that “The model that Sandinistas want to implement is very similar to that of China.”  The government “has a long history of trying to create a parallel church [and] of wanting to take possession of the symbols of faith.” Russians bombed Ukrainian city on Palm Sunday, kids' playground The Russian army bombed the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy on Palm Sunday, resulting in at least 34 citizens losing their lives, reports The Associated Press. Two children were among the dead. Last week, Russians bombed a children's playground in the city of Kryvyi Rih, killing twenty, nine of whom were children, reports the BBC. The United Nations calculates that over 12,600 Ukrainian civilians have been killed, and over 29,000 injured since the war started three years ago.  In addition, Reuters reports that Russia has dropped over 50,000 guided bombs on Ukraine since 2022. China has stopped exports of products for aerospace industry As the global trade war continues, China has stopped exporting certain products to America, including minerals and magnets used by the aerospace industry, automakers, aerospace manufacturers, and semiconductor companies. China's Ministry of Commerce has also issued regulations forbidding Chinese companies from doing business with a number of American companies. China's trade surplus with America jumped in March China's trade surplus exploded in March  — 12.4% year over year. China's trade surplus is the largest in the world, running around $1 trillion. Germany, Russia, and Saudi Arabia also lead the world in trade surpluses. China's surplus with the U.S. was up 4.5% in March, up 14% for India, up 11% for Africa, and up 17% for Vietnam.   The nation with the worst trade deficit is the United States -- running over $1.1 trillion, followed by the United Kingdom, India, France, and Turkey. Chinese students leaving U.S. universities Chinese students are leaving American universities. The official Chinese government's news service announced a 40% drop off of Chinese doctoral students at U.S colleges. Today, only 277,400 Chinese students are enrolled in U.S. higher education institutions which is down from 373,000 four years ago. Fewer Europeans traveling to United States Europeans are more reticent to travel to the United States. The numbers have dropped by 17% in March, year over year.  This represents the largest decline since the COVID-19 pandemic. More Gen Z men profess faith in Christ Here are more surprising numbers coming from the Barna Group. Since 2019, the percentage of Gen Z young men who profess to be committed to Jesus has increased by 19%.   Sadly, the metric is not improving for young women. Numbers remain “mostly flat in their commitment levels to Jesus.” Let's remember Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 16:22. “If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!” United Kingdom bill would curtail home schooling The U.K. House of Lords has scheduled a second reading for an education bill that is set to curtail homeschooling. The law would require homeschooling parents to submit an extensive curriculum plan, along with other stipulations. Gold up; Nasdaq and Bitcoin down Gold continues its rise. Remarkably, it's value is now $3,200 per ounce, an increase in value of 16% since January 1st.   The Nasdaq is down 12% since the start of the year, hovering around 17,000 points. Bitcoin is down 9% since January at $85,000 per bitcoin.  Jair Bolsonaro survived 12-hour surgery after assassination attempt By the mercies of God, Brazil's previous president, Jair Bolsonaro survived a 12-hour-long surgery. This is his fifth medical intervention after a stabbing attack in 2018. His wife, Michelle, took to Instagram to announce that “the surgery concluded with success. My heart overflows with gratefulness for each one of you who have been praying.”  Michele's Instagram account describes herself as a servant of the Lord.  She writes, “Honor, glory, strength, and power to King Jesus!” Trump's powerful Christian message during Holy Week And finally, in one of the most explicit Christian messages ever issued by a world leader in our day, President Donald Trump issued a tribute to the Christian “holy week” on his Truth Social account. He wrote, “This Holy Week, Christians around the world remember the crucifixion of God's only Begotten Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And, on Easter Sunday, we celebrate His glorious Resurrection and proclaim, as Christians have done for nearly 2,000 years, ‘HE IS RISEN!' “Through the pain and sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross, we saw God's boundless love and devotion to all humanity and, in that moment of His Resurrection, history was forever changed with the promise of Everlasting Life. … “I want to wish Christians everywhere a happy and very blessed holiday. America is a nation of believers. We need God, we want God and, with His help, we will make our nation stronger, safer, greater, more prosperous, and more united than ever before.” Psalm 72:10-11 speaks of the king's Son, who rules, and is to be praised by all nations. The Scripture declares, “The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring presents; The kings of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts. Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him; All nations shall serve Him.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, April 15th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

On this episode of The South Florida Roundup, we had a panel of immigration experts helping sift through the questions that are haunting South Florida's immigrant-rich community — particularly Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian and Nicaraguan migrants who are suddenly unlawful and subject to deportation (01:19). We looked at how these migrants can go about looking for ways to adjust their status to something longer-lasting (16:27). And we analyzed the sort of conditions awaiting migrants in their home countries in the event they getting deported (27:28).

Rick Rodriguez and and Gus Martinez (formerly of General Cigar Company), founded West Tampa Tobacco Company in 2022.  They debuted the White and Black series in 2022 at the PCA trade show in Las Vegas.  In 2023, West Tampa released a limited edition cigar using a Mexican San Andres wrapper along with Nicaraguan tobacco.  The Red series is an offshoot of that cigar using the same wrapper, but different binder and filler.  This is what West Tampa says about the Red: Like its predecessors, White & Black, Red delivers a flavor bomb with enhanced body that is a perfect addition to the West Tampa line-up. From mild to full bodied, creamy to spicey, West Tampa now offers something foreveryone. Rick Rodriguez, master blender and co-owner, is especially excited about this release. “West Tampa Red gave me the opportunity to sit down with the factory and really focus on creating a blend that I enjoy.” “Normally when I blend cigars, I don't blend for what I like, I blend cigars for what my fans enjoy. Red will be a reflection of what I believe is the next piece to lay in the West Tampa puzzle, a full-bodied cigar that delivers the full flavor consumers have come to enjoy from West Tampa.” Last year, West Tampa released a lancero in the Black, White, and Red.  The lanceros come in a 7 x 40 size with an MSRP of $10.99.

¡Las Sandinistas! uncovers the untold stories of women who shattered barriers to lead combat and social reform during Nicaragua's 1979 Sandinista Revolution, and the ensuing US-backed Contra War, as these same women continue as leaders in the struggle against their current government's suppression of democracy and women's rights.The film is centered around the personal stories of Dora Maria Téllez, the young medical student who became a major Sandinista General, and four of her revolutionary allies - Nicaraguan women who overcame traditional gender barriers and subverted stereotypes to lead rebel troops in battle and reshape their country with landmark social reform. ¡Las Sandinistas! exposes a watershed moment in history when thousands of women transformed society's definition of womanhood and leadership before facing renewed marginalization by their male peers after the wars ended. Now, 35 years later, amidst staggering levels of gender violence in Nicaragua, these same women brave the streets once again to lead popular movements for equality and democracy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Jeremy Kuzmarov - Warmonger - How Clinton's Malign Foreign Policy Launched the US Trajectory from Bush II to BidenNov 17, 2023During  the 2016 presidential election, many younger voters repudiated Hillary  Clinton because of her husband's support for mass incarceration, banking  deregulation and free-trade agreements that led many U.S. jobs to be  shipped overseas. Warmonger: How Clinton's Malign Foreign Policy Launched the Trajectory from Bush II to Biden,  shows that Clinton's foreign policy was just as bad as his domestic  policy. Cultivating an image as a former anti-Vietnam War activist to  win over the aging hippie set in his early years, as president, Clinton  bombed six countries and, by the end of his first term, had committed  U.S. troops to 25 separate military operations, compared to 17 in Ronald  Reagan's two terms. Clinton further expanded America's covert empire of  overseas surveillance outposts and spying and increased the budget for  intelligence spending and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a  CIA offshoot which promoted regime change in foreign nations.   The  latter was not surprising because, according to CIA operative Cord  Meyer Jr., Clinton had been recruited into the CIA while a Rhodes  Scholar at Oxford, and as Governor of Arkansas in the 1980s he had  allowed clandestine arms and drug flights to Nicaraguan  counter-revolutionaries (Contras) backed by the CIA to be taken from  Mena Airport in the western part of the state. Rather than being a time  of tranquility when the U.S. failed to pay attention to the gathering  storm of terrorism, as New York Times columnist David Brooks frames it,  the Clinton presidency saw rising tensions among the U.S., China and  Russia because of Clinton's malign foreign policies, and U.S. complicity  in terrorist acts.   In so many ways, Clinton's presidency set  the groundwork for the disasters that were to follow under Bush II,  Obama, Trump, and Biden. It was Clinton--building off of Reagan--who  first waged a War on Terror ridden with double standards, one that  adopted terror tactics, including extraordinary rendition, bombing and  the use of drones. It was Clinton who cried wolf about human rights  abuses and the need to protect beleaguered peoples from genocide to  justify military intervention in a post-Cold War age. And it was  Clinton's administration that pressed for regime change in Iraq and  raised public alarm about the mythic WMDs--all while relying on fancy  new military technologies and private military contractors to distance  US shady military interventions from the public to limit dissent.Jeremy Kuzmarov talks to Ed Opperman about his surprising and highly researched new book.BookBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Ten migrants have been sent from the U.S. to Guantánamo Bay to be held in a military prison that has housed al-Qaida members. NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer talks about the first people sent there and the legal challenges that loom around President Trump's plans for the migrants. Then, many Nicaraguan farmworkers in Wisconsin are staying home, keeping a low profile in anticipation of mass deportations promised by Trump. ProPublica's Melissa Sanchez tells us more. And, Trump's decision to put most staffers on leave from the U.S. Agency for International Development is impacting farmers in the U.S. who grow food that is distributed as part of the Food for Peace program.

On January 29 1971 — In accepting the Tris Speaker Award from Houston sportswriters, Roberto Clemente gives a speech which, apart from being called by many of those in attendance “the best talk any baseball player ever made,” is the source of Clemente's most famous – if oft misquoted – assertion: “If you have an opportunity to accomplish something that will make things better for someone coming behind you, and you don't do that, you are wasting your time on this earth.”A member of the 3,000-hit club, Roberto Clemente was a tremendously proud man who was often misunderstood by the press and his teammates. He was criticized for refusing to play with minor injuries, despite the fact that he won four batting championships. He played on two Pirate World Series winners and became more legendary after his tragic death while delivering supplies to victims of the Nicaraguan earthquake in 1972 than during his playing days.His tragic death prompted the Hall of Fame's Board of Director's to unanimously wave the customary five year period for induction, opening the door for the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) to hold a special election on Clemente's behalf. By an overwhelming vote of 93%, Clemente became the first player of Latin American descent to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.Mentioned in this episode:Classic Baseball BroadcastsClassic Baseball Broadcasts

Interview with Darren Bowden, CEO, Metals Exploration PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metals-exploration-aimmtl-acquisitive-cash-generative-gold-junior-4935Recording date: 15th of January, 2025Metals Exploration, an LSE-listed gold producer, is executing a multi-jurisdictional growth strategy anchored by strong operational performance and strategic acquisitions. The company's Runruno mine in the Philippines achieved stellar results in 2024, with over 90% recovery rates and 83,500 ounces of gold production, generating $96 million in free cash flow.In a significant move to expand its portfolio, the company acquired the Condor gold assets in Nicaragua in 2024. The construction-ready Condor project is expected to produce 130,000-150,000 ounces annually, marking a 50% increase over Runruno's current output. To accelerate development, Metals Exploration purchased a secondhand processing plant, targeting production within 18-24 months. With estimated all-in sustaining costs of $900-1,000 per ounce, the project promises robust margins at current gold prices.The company's growth strategy is backed by a strong financial position, with zero debt and consistent quarterly free cash flow of $20-25 million. Projected cash generation of $170-180 million over the next two years will fully fund Condor's $110-120 million capital requirements without shareholder dilution.At Runruno, a recently identified near-mine target could extend operations by 3-10 years beyond the current 2027 mine life. Initial assessments show promising grades of over 15 g/t gold and 7% copper across the strike length, with drilling set to commence soon.CEO Darren Bowden's team brings extensive Latin American experience to navigate the Nicaraguan operation. The Condor acquisition included a seasoned management team with established local relationships, helping mitigate operational risks in the new jurisdiction.Further growth potential lies in the Philippines through the Abra project, acquired in August 2024, which hosts two significant targets including one of the largest copper footprints in the region. This forms part of the company's "pillar four" strategy for longer-term growth once multiple operating mines are established.Metals Exploration aims to achieve a FTSE listing by 2028, driving its ambitious expansion plans. The company's measured approach to growth, combining operational excellence with strategic acquisitions, positions it to evaluate additional opportunities once Condor's development advances, creating a sustainable pathway to mid-tier producer status without overextending resources.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/metals-exploration-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Referring to the infamous Nicaraguan dictator Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously said, "Somoza may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch." It appears that lame duck President Biden applies the same type of differentiation to oligarchs circling around the presidency. In this last commentary about the Biden Administration we show how the dire warnings of his farewell address are refuted by his own actions.

He shares what inspired those experiences and the impact it has had on his life. Harrison visited the border earlier this year, and he has a great story to share about a Colombian family that he encountered on his visit, and how a variety of people from very different backgrounds and political persuasions came together to help solve problems for this family in need.

Joe highlights the efforts of our good friend Rafael Cortes to empower Denilson, a teenager from Honduras, to organize a soccer tournament in his shelter.

This week Justin replays one of his personal favorite episodes, number 26, when author and former special forces officer Greg Walker shared the little-known story of a David Baez, a green beret defector. Baez was a Nicaraguan national whose father was killed by U.S.-backed President Samosa after voicing his displeasure with inequalities that had risen under Samosa's rule. After immigrating the U.S. and joining the Army (and then Special Forces), Baez found himself in El Salvador watching the country he served try to re-institute the rule of a dynasty that had done personal harm to his own family. Baez defected to Nicaragua in support of Sandinista revolutionary forces--despite the danger it posed to his American brothers in arms.Connect with Greg:LinkedIn: Gregory WalkerCheck out Part 1 of Greg's series on Baez, A defector in place: The strange and terrible saga of a Green Beret Sandinista, here.https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/defector-place-strange-terrible-saga-green-beret-part-greg-walker/Connect with Spycraft 101:Get Justin's latest book, Murder, Intrigue, and Conspiracy: Stories from the Cold War and Beyond, here.spycraft101.comIG: @spycraft101Shop: shop.spycraft101.comPatreon: Spycraft 101Find Justin's first book, Spyshots: Volume One, here.Check out Justin's second book, Covert Arms, here.Download the free eBook, The Clandestine Operative's Sidearm of Choice, here.A podcast from SPYSCAPE.A History of the World in Spy Objects Incredible tools and devices and their real-world use.Support the show

Two new nonfiction books blend research and memoir to explore ideas of family, language and culture. Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez's Tías and Primas draws on her experience being raised in a large Nicaraguan family, one that she describes as messier than the typical nuclear model. Her relationships with her mother, cousins, and aunts shaped her view of the world and the female archetypes that exist within Latin American culture. In today's episode, Rodríguez speaks with NPR's A Martínez about how nuance is lost in Latina stereotypes, the cultural significance of ghost encounters, and practicing critique from a place of love. Then, Julie Sedivy is a linguistics and psychology professor who started speaking five languages before first grade. Growing up in diverse linguistic environments inspired her memoir Linguaphile, which explores the relationship between language, emotion and life. In today's episode, she speaks with NPR's Eric Westervelt about the way linguistic divisions reflect our social reality and the surprising strengths of the aging brain.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

An American Church Thrived in Nicaragua. Then Its Pastors Went to Prison.The New York Times, By Frances Robles, on Sept. 5, 2024https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/05/us/american-pastors-nicaragua-money-laundering.html Nicaragua has increasingly slipped towards authoritarian rule under President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo, who have maintained control over the government for decades. Their regime has taken a firm stance against organizations that challenge their authority, particularly religious and nonprofit groups. Recently, the government revoked the tax-exempt status of nonprofits, including churches, under the guise of combating money laundering. This led to a wave of arrests and the prosecution of numerous religious leaders and organizations, among them the Hancock family and their Mountain Gateway Church.Mountain Gateway Church, an evangelical institution run by the Hancocks from Texas, was operating across multiple rural towns in Nicaragua. The church's business dealings, which included running a coffee company, were suddenly targeted by the government following the new laws. Though the church claimed they had always been transparent and compliant, Ortega's regime accused them of money laundering and placed heavy fines on their leaders, with some church members receiving long prison sentences. The Hancocks, being out of the country at the time, were fined $80 million, and their return to Nicaragua seems unlikely as long as the current regime remains in power.The situation in Nicaragua is complex. On one hand, there are longstanding grievances between the Catholic Church and the Ortega government, which has jailed Catholic leaders under similar accusations of financial misconduct. On the other hand, Mountain Gateway was initially allowed to operate freely, leading some to suspect that the government was using the church for political gain, only to turn on them when their influence grew too large. Some argue the church's operations resembled those of a mega-church, exploiting Nicaragua's people and resources under the guise of religion, while others suggest the government's crackdown is part of a broader strategy to eliminate any group that threatens its control.In the broader context, this situation reflects a power struggle over the hearts and minds of Nicaraguans, with the government aiming to suppress religious influence and protestant churches rising in prominence while Catholicism declines. The role of the U.S. in this affair is also worth noting, as Mountain Gateway's involvement ultimately led to a prisoner swap with Nicaragua, raising questions about the influence of American interests and politics in the region. The church's ties to U.S. politicians may have played a part in the State Department's intervention, further complicating the already murky narrative of whether the church was an innocent victim or a party to the regime's power games.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.38.1 featuring Jimmy Jr., Kelley, and Jonathan Roudabush.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.
