Convo - The Politician's Guide to Not Being a Politician

There is a complicated relationship between womanhood and motherhood. History is full of women without children—some who chose childless lives, others who wanted children but never had them, and still others who are somewhere in between. Modern women considering how and if children fit into their lives are products of their political, ecological, and cultural moment. But they are not alone.We hear from Peggy O'Donnell Heffington about her book “Without Children: The Long History of Not Being a Mother.”

Hold onto your tinfoil hats, folks, because Chris Abraham is back with another mind-bending episode that's less a coherent discussion and more of a verbal pinball game. This week, Chris and his incredibly patient AI co-host, ChatGPT, attempt to tackle internalized misogyny and Kamala Harris. But as usual, they take so many detours into conspiracy-theory-land that you'll wonder if they took a wrong turn at the Area 51 gift shop. Podcast Description: Get ready for a wild ride through the tangled jungle of Chris Abraham's brain as he unleashes his unique brand of political commentary on the world. This week's episode features Chris's groundbreaking theory: Donald Trump, the man who once suggested we inject bleach, is actually a secret dove of peace just waiting to bring harmony to a chaotic world. Listen in awe as ChatGPT heroically tries to translate Chris's half-sentences and stream-of-consciousness ramblings into something vaguely resembling English. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question the fabric of reality itself. Show Notes: 0:00 - Chris Opens Strong: With a completely coherent thought about internalized misogyny and Kamala Harris... Just kidding! It devolves into a rambling exploration of everything BUT the original topic within minutes. 6:30 - Enter the Orange Dove: Chris unveils his theory that Trump is a misunderstood peacemaker, a diplomatic genius disguised as a Twitter-happy billionaire. It's like watching a pigeon try to fly a fighter jet – entertaining but terrifying at the same time. 12:15 - The Art of Not Being a Jerk (in Diplomacy): In a rare moment of lucidity, Chris actually makes a valid point about how constantly insulting other world leaders might not be the best way to achieve peace. Who knew? 19:45 - Ukraine: The Conspiracy Theorist's Playground: Chris goes full-on history buff (or conspiracy theorist, it's hard to tell sometimes) with his take on the Ukraine war. Expect a crash course on the Holodomor, Ashkenazi Jews, and enough historical tangents to make your head spin. 27:00 - BRICS: The Alphabet Soup of Global Domination: BRICS, BRICS, BRICS! Chris can't stop talking about BRICS. It's the new Illuminati, the New World Order, the [insert your favorite conspiracy theory here]. 34:10 - Please, Just Pick Up the Phone!: Chris waxes poetic about the importance of direct communication, reminiscing about the good old days of the red phone and how it almost certainly prevented World War III (probably). 41:20 - And They're Off!: Chris and ChatGPT finally cross the finish line of this conversational marathon, leaving listeners to piece together the fragments of what they just heard. FAQ: Is Chris Abraham feeling okay? Asking for a friend. Honestly, we're not sure. But hey, at least he's entertaining (in a car-crash-you-can't-look-away-from kind of way). Seriously, though, what was the point of this episode? We think it had something to do with internalized misogyny. Or maybe diplomacy. Or perhaps the secret lizard people controlling the world. Your guess is as good as ours. Do I need to wear a tinfoil hat while listening to this podcast? We highly recommend it. You never know when Chris might tap into your brainwaves. Glossary: BRICS: An acronym that Chris uses interchangeably with “global conspiracy,” “shadow government,” and “they.” Internalized Misogyny: Apparently, this was the starting point of the episode, but it got lost somewhere between a discussion about Trump's hair and the Illuminati. The CEO-President-Prime Minister Club: The most exclusive club in the world, where membership is granted only to those who've mastered the art of the deal (and possibly have compromising photos of Jeffrey Epstein). Red Phone: A magical device from a bygone era that allowed world leaders to communicate without resorting to passive-aggressive tweets. Ukraine: A country that, according to Chris, is at the center of every conspiracy theory ever conceived. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

More and more women in the United States are saying no to motherhood. Alarmingly, in 2023, the U.S. fertility rate reached the lowest number on record. But the idea of non-motherhood is actually not a new phenomenon, nor did it come out of the modern feminist movement. For centuries, women have made choices about limiting births and whether or not to become mothers at all. This history is documented in a new book, "Without Children: The Long History of Not Being a Mother," by University of Chicago Assistant Instructional Professor Peggy O'Donnell Heffington.Heffington writes about the historic trends of non-motherhood as well as the modern factors that are playing a role in women's choices to not have children today — from lack of structural support in the workplace, to a national law for paid maternity leave, and the sheer lack of affordability. She writes that if these trends continue, American millennials could become the largest childless cohort in history.

History is full of women who never gave birth to children, whether because they couldn't or even didn't want to. Historian Peggy O'Donnell Heffington says her research about women without children made her feel more settled about her own choice not to have kids, but it also surprisingly made her feel greater solidarity with women who make the opposite choice. She joins us to talk about her book Without Children: The Long History of Not Being a Mother. About the Guest Peggy O'Donnell Heffington is Assistant Senior Instructional Professor and Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies at the University of Chicago. She teaches and writes on feminism, women's movements, and motherhood in American and European history. Her first book is called Without Children: The Long History of Not Being a Mother (Seal Press, 2023). Her writing has also appeared in Jezebel, the Boston Globe, Los Angeles Review of Books, and elsewhere. She received her PhD in History from the University of California, Berkeley.

This episode aired July 14, 2024, on the YOUR HEALTH MATTERS radio show with Karl Sterling and Elizabeth Brusa on News Radio 570 WSYR AM, also available on 106.9 FM. This show was a unique experience, delving into important health-related topics. It wasn't just about physical health but also about fostering a respectful and enriching environment. ### Key Topics We Explored We started by addressing the great divide within our society, focusing on the recent Trump shooting. There is no room for such violence. The idea that Biden prompted this is absurd unless future evidence proves otherwise. Both Trump and Biden have their haters, but regardless of political differences, we discussed using this event to unite us rather than divide us. We then explored politics and hatred, societal behaviors such as lack of responsibility, respect, and action. We examined weaknesses in society and individuals, lack of leadership, and prevalence of ignorance and entitlement. Our segment on "Being Respectful to Others" highlighted respect's power in building stronger communities. "Not Being an Ass" addressed our behavior's impact and practicing empathy and kindness consistently. We discussed altruism and community service in "Serving Others," sharing stories of people making a difference. In "Eliminating Greed and Control Issues," we explored the toxic effects of greed on mental health and strategies to cultivate generosity. "Not Judging People" emphasized the importance of an open mind and acceptance, providing tips on overcoming biases. "Thinking More Like God Rather Than Like a Human" delved into spiritual perspectives on life and relationships. We also covered practical advice in "Not Being a Burden to Others," focusing on maintaining independence while balancing the need for help. "Not Being an Energy Sucker or an Emotional Suction Cup" taught how to avoid draining behaviors and boost energy and resilience. In "Not Being Rude and Imposing Yourself in the Space of Others," we discussed respecting personal boundaries and the etiquette of thoughtful communication. Our segment on "Gym Etiquette" outlined rules for a respectful gym environment. "Just Being NICE and Showing Love and Respect to Others" explored the ripple effect of kindness, highlighting simple acts that make a big difference. "Exercising the Power of Your Brain and Your Free Will" focused on leveraging mental strength and free will to make healthier choices. As we navigated these discussions, we reflected on the impact of simple acts of kindness, respect, and thoughtful behavior. Each positive change starts with a single step. Let's use our free will and mental strength to create a better world, one respectful interaction at a time. ### Our Sponsor for This Show Motion Guidance TM is a Physical Therapist Owned and Operated Company dedicated to introducing novel therapy products to improve rehabilitative methods. Owned by Tal Blair and Eric Dinkins, Motion Guidance continues to innovate clinically relevant designs to improve movement learning, patient encouragement, and rehabilitation goals. http://www.karlsterling.com

The temp is rising, the BBQs are lit, and new TV shows are hot off the grill and into our living rooms this July! Dan and Raul are checking the summer snacks served by the multitude of streamers who want our hard-earned subscriptions. Among the burgers and dogs awaiting us are spicy new offerings like Natalie Portman's Not Being a Lady in the Lake, Nic Cage and a pair of Longlegs, and Rashida Jones's seeing the 'Sunny' side of a scary situation.  On the animated menu, Kite Man says Hell Yeah to some more adventures; somehow, a show is called Exploding Kittens, and the BBQ links keep coming in Sausage Party: Foodtopia. There's a mess of returning shows, a whole Olympics, more Maxxxine and a really sick party in The Decameron (whatever that is), so come summer with us!

Welcome back to another episode of Clipped, the podcast that's your go-to source for all things podcasting. This episode dives deep into the common mistakes podcasters make and how to avoid them. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned podcaster, these tips are designed to help you elevate your podcast game.  Let's Give It a Go… Episode Highlights 1. Using a Condenser Microphone The Mistake: Many podcasters opt for condenser microphones, which are sensitive and pick up all sorts of background noise. The Fix: Switch to a dynamic microphone. They isolate your voice and give you that rich, broadcast tone you're after. 2. Not Using a Microphone At All The Mistake: Some podcasters, especially guests, talk directly into their laptop microphone. The Fix: At the very least, use a wired headset. If you're hosting, invest in a quality podcast microphone. 3. Recording Via Zoom The Mistake: Zoom may be great for meetings, but it's not ideal for podcasting due to compressed audio and potential dropouts. The Fix: Use a platform designed for podcasting like Riverside.fm. It offers high-quality audio and video recording. 4. Not Being on All Platforms The Mistake: Limiting your podcast to just one or two platforms. The Fix: Distribute your podcast on as many platforms as possible, including YouTube, to maximize your reach. 5. Lack of Target Audience or Niche The Mistake: Starting a podcast without a clear target audience or subject matter. The Fix: Define your audience, niche, and goals before you even hit record. This will serve as your roadmap for future episodes. 6. Interrupting Guests or Speaking Over Them The Mistake: Constantly interrupting your guests or thinking about your next question instead of actively listening. The Fix: Practice active listening. Jot down notes if you have something to say, but let your guest finish speaking first. 7. Not Doing Guest Research The Mistake: Inviting guests onto your show without proper research can lead to a lackluster conversation. The Fix: Spend one to two hours researching your guest. Make sure they align with your podcast's theme and can offer value to your audience. 8. Failing to Promote Your Podcast The Mistake: Not promoting your podcast can limit its growth. The Fix: Be your own biggest fan. Utilize social media, newsletters, and word-of-mouth to get the word out there.

In an era of falling births, it's often said that millennials invented the idea of not having kids. But history is full of women without children: some who chose childless lives, others who wanted children but never had them, and still others—the vast majority, then and now—who fell somewhere in between. Modern women considering how and if children fit into their lives are products of their political, ecological, and cultural moment. But history also tells them that they are not alone.  In Without Children: The Long History of Not Being a Mother (Seal Press, 2023), historian Peggy O'Donnell Heffington shows that many of the reasons women are not having children today are ones they share with women in the past: a lack of support, their jobs or finances, environmental concerns, infertility, and the desire to live different kinds of lives. Understanding this history—how normal it has always been to not have children, and how hard society has worked to make it seem abnormal—is key, she writes, to rebuilding kinship between mothers and non-mothers, and to building a better world for us all. Dr Peggy O'Donnell Heffington teaches in History at the University of Chicago, and writes on feminism, women's movements, and motherhood in American and European history. She has been published in numerous outlets including the New York Times, Time Magazine and The Washington Post. Catriona Gold is a PhD candidate in Geography at University College London. She is currently researching the US Passport Office's role in governing Cold War travel, and broadly interested in questions of security, surveillance and mobility.

MORE MESSAGES ON (AND TO) THE MINISTRY (second series):26: PAUL'S MASTER LISTS OF MINISTERIAL QUALIFICATIONS (AND DISQUALIFICATIONS) IN 1 TIMOTHY 3 AND TITUS 1 Part 9: Not Being "Soon Angry" We briefly read through these with minimal comments in an earlier class, but this is a thorough and comprehensive study of each of these qualifications and disqualifications.  The following cautionary notes from the first series (expanded on a bit) are just as applicable to this series:CAUTIONARY NOTE: This ongoing series of classes on the ministry is NOT intended to address the general ministry of the body of churches we are part of but, rather, to educate and aid those ministers here and abroad that I personally am responsible for. Doing so may require addressing somewhat controversial issues, but only as such is it necessary to make clear my position on these issues to those I am responsible for. We have made this public (and not password protected) for several reasons, one being that there are ministers outside of our body of churches who may hear these messages and may consider their ways. That has been the case with other materials we have made public; we have had individuals who listened to them who have reached out to us and became a part of what we are doing because of a conviction they felt hearing those messages or reading those materials. I also wanted my position on these issues to be transparent and available to those who love the ministry and its work. And some of the brethren we work with overseas have difficulty accessing password-protected pages.Let me add an EXTRA CAUTIONARY NOTE to this series as it does address a number of what may be (to some) controversial issues that could be viewed in different ways by brethren among us. It is NOT my intent for this series of classes to cause any offense to those who teach differently among our churches, and I would strongly advise those who may be working under other ministers who hold a different view to consider the potential conflict this may create and if there is any question or the possibility for confusion or offense, please take that into consideration before following these classes, OR please consider listening to their points completely and searching the Scripture to see whether they are true (Acts 17:10-11) as it is my intent (as with anything we teach or present) to be strictly biblical, faithfully contextual, and linguistically precise and accurate in all of our conclusions AND when there is any doubt as to their certainty, to avoid dogmatic and combative statements and, rather, to address the different possible interpretations and approaches as theoretically as possible.Support the showThank you for listening to our podcast!If you have any questions, subjects you would like to hear discussed, or feedback of any kind, you can contact us at: mansfieldgac@yahoo.com or through the links below, where you can find additional information about our work as well as other materials: https://mansfieldgac.com/ (church website)https://www.facebook.com/MansfieldGAC/ (church Facebook page)

Part of the beauty of the real estate industry is that anyone, regardless of their background, can come in and find enormous success if they work smart and hard. Erica Harding is one of the living proofs of this, as she found her passion as a realtor after having been a journalist for years.   Erica Harding graduated with a communications-advertising degree at the University of North Florida and worked at the MIT magazine for over six years before she decided that she wanted more from life and began to explore her talents as a salesperson.  Fast forward to now, and she's one of the top-performing agents at Engel and Völkers and was able to build a successful career while raising two kids.   Join us to listen to Erica's amazing journey to real estate success and learn the secrets that brought her there.   [00:00 - 07:03] From Journalist to Top Realtor: Erica Harding Shares Her Journey • She graduated from Mandarin High and went to the University of North Florida as a journalism major. • She worked for MIT Magazine for over six years and was inspired by the salespeople coming in and out of the office every day, so she asked for an opportunity to work on sales. • Despite having no sales experience, she was given the chance and put in the St. Johns County area.   [07:03 - 13:13] Finding the Right Brokerage, Training, and Growing Toward Success  • Erica learned about different businesses, business owners, and what works for them through formal sales training. • She hated roleplaying and learning scripts, but this was very valuable in her training as a salesperson.  • Erica transitioned from Mid Magazine to residential real estate after becoming a mom. • She joined Keller Williams's South Side for five years due to its great training and structure.   [13:13 - 19:33] Becoming the Best Agent Through Keller Williams's Bold Program • Training offered at Keller Williams was amazing, according to Erica.  • Agents are encouraged to take advantage of other agents' open houses. • Why posting on social media every day is important to stay top of mind. • Doing the Bold program was life-changing for new agents, including Erica herself.  • Education and listening to other top agents are important, as you need to eat and breathe real estate in order to succeed as a realtor.    [19:34 - 25:50] Juggling Time and Staying Confident: Navigating the First Year in Real Estate • Time blocking is important for maximizing free time. • Erica takes advantage of mornings when the kids are eating to get some work done.  • Scheduling emails out late at night to be sent in the morning makes your clients feel like you're right on top of the work. [25:50 - 32:02] Overcoming Time Management Challenges as a Real Estate Agent with Kids • Even small things like using email templates and voice text to save time can add up. • Being part of the community and letting everyone know you're in real estate can lead to higher sales. • Time management is the hardest part of real estate, especially, but there are various techniques and tools to improve it.   [32:02 - 38:19] The Secret Sauce: Control Your Transaction and Know Your Team • Why it's important to have your priorities straight and not to lose focus looking at what others are doing. • Having a supportive partner helps in tough moments when one cannot be present. • Having control over your transaction will make it go smoothly, keeping clients happy and yourself at minimum stress.  • As soon as a contract is signed, it is important to order the home inspection and loan application and reach out to insurance. • A timeline sheet should be sent out with recommendations for each vendor.   [38:20 - 45:07] The Key to Real Estate Success: Networking With Other Agents • Networking with other agents to share information and build relationships is extremely important to grow as a realtor, as well as having contacts in all fields of real estate. • Posting on social media to gain notoriety will help you grow and earn more deals. • Texting other agents to ask for inventory updates can be a good way to stay organized. • Going to events like Breakfast of Champions at Landmark to meet other agents can help you grow your career.   [45:07 - 51:13] Erica Harding's 3 Tips For Real Estate Success • Erica shares her 3 tips for real estate success: Real estate requires full-time commitment and dedication.

Peggy O'Donnell Heffington is an instructional professor of history at the University of Chicago, and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the many reasons women live childless – from infertility to lack of social support to a desire to live a different life than society prescribes. Her book is “Without Children: The Long History of Not Being a Mother.”

What does happiness even mean to YOU??? Living a life that is less than what you created to be should be a sin. WAIT… according to the Bible ( if you you believe it) IT IS. Sin = missing the mark. Ain't that some shit. This whole time you thought you were sinning when you drank at holidays when it turns out you're a sinner for NOT BEING 100% the woman you were supposed to be … And why is that? Because the abundant , thriving version of you has the time and money to do more good in the world. The current overworked and underpaid version of you has barely anything left to give anyone. Tune in to todays podcast to hear a candid convo on why it's an actual problem for the WORLD

What does it mean to be OK? What happens when we don't feel OK? Why does everyone else sometimes seem OK, while feelings of discontent, upset or sadness loom? I've been grappling with the idea of being OK and what it really means. As someone who is seeking a place of "happiness and health", I often reflect on the ambiguity of those terms. What happiness means to me is not what it means to anyone else. Therefore, the idea of being OK (or not OK) is also completely subjective. Still, in recent years, a trendy saying has emerged in our society that states, "It's OK to not be OK". Is that a fair statement? How does that differ for each of us? In this episode, I touch on my own experiences of not feeling OK and ponder a revised perspective on the on-trend saying, by looking at: What Emotions are Associated with Not Being the Opposite of OK Assessing the These Emotions How Emotional Awareness & Management are Key to Self-Care BONUS: Grab a FREE download of the top resources that have supported me in my self-discovery and wellness journey.

https://youtu.be/MYA-KAs9uZ0 -Play 0:00-0:27 Will there be war between China & Taiwan? That was Taiwan’s minister of foreign affairs, Joseph Wu responding, you’ll hear more from him in a moment. Happy Friday ladies and gentleman, this is Garrison Hardie, pinch hitting for Pastor Toby, for this Friday, June 17th, 2022. Today, we’ll be talking about the potential of war between Taiwan, and China, the U.S. is still supplying Ukraine with weapons, and urging its allies to not lose steam with regards to supporting Ukraine militarily, a big win for Republicans in a historically blue south Texas, and a university changes it’s mascot, because it wasn’t inclusive enough… Before we get to our news for the day, a word, from New St. Andrews! New Saint Andrews: Today’s culture shifts like sand. But New Saint Andrews College is established on Christ, the immovable rock. It is a premier institution that forges evangelical leaders who don’t fear or hate the world. Guided by God’s Word, they take the world back because they’re equipped with the genius of classical liberal arts and God-honoring wisdom, thanks to a faculty dedicated to academic rigor and to God’s kingdom.Find out more, at nsa.edu/ https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/13/world/asia/china-taiwan-ukraine-military.html So, back to Taiwan and China… ever since Russia began an assault against Ukraine, many have speculated that China may do the same to its neighbor Taiwan. Taiwan’s minister of foreign affairs, Joseph Wu, sees a lot of similarities between what’s happening in Ukraine, with Taiwan’s situation with China: https://youtu.be/MYA-KAs9uZ0 -Play 0:27-0:136 Did you catch that? He said, “China has said Taiwan is just another part of China.” That sounds pretty familiar to what Putin had said leading up to his invasion of Ukraine, where he was quoted as saying, “Ukraine is not just a neighboring country, it’s an integral part of our history, culture… modern Ukraine was created entirely by Russia. By Bolshevik Communist Russia to be exact.” Interesting. So what’s going on in Taiwan in preparation for a potential war? According to the New York Times, Taiwan’s defenses are, by many accounts, ill-equipped and understaffed. Its president, has vowed to defend the island, but she has struggled to impose a new strategic vision on the uniformed leadership. Taiwan spends billions on fighter jets and submarines, yet its conscripts barely get enough ammunition for training. The mandatory military service is seen by many as too short, and the reservist program, insufficiently rigorous. The military is building a professional force, but has struggled to recruit and retain highly skilled soldiers. On top of that… Taiwanese citizens are not allowed to be training with weapons of war… there are videos of them training with airsoft guns! Go look it up on Youtube right now. Not exactly the kind of preparation for all out war you want right? Thank God for the second amendment. I always hate the argument made by gun control supporters that say, “oh what do you think the average gun owner would have a chance against the federal troops?” Answer, yes, they would. We have 300 + million people in this country, about 42% of American households have guns in the home, and there are more guns than people here in the U.S… yes, they’d be a problem to those federal troops. Oh by the way, visit our friends at Armored Republic if you want to get armor that could stop bullets from the imperial troops… anyways. Underlying Taiwan’s defense dilemma is a question left unanswerable by design: Will the United States send military forces to Taiwan’s aid? In May, President Biden suggested he would, but the United States offers no explicit security guarantees, a strategy it hopes will avoid either provoking Beijing or emboldening Taiwan to declare formal independence. Mr. Xi has said he seeks a peaceful unification with Taiwan, and he may be deterred by the huge economic and diplomatic blowback China would suffer for an invasion. But China has also been pointed in its warnings. Its defense minister, Gen. Wei Fenghe, said over the weekend that Beijing would “fight to the very end” for Taiwan. It is sending fighter jets toward the island almost daily — including 30 aircraft in one day last month alone. The concern is that such maneuvers could, intentionally or otherwise, be a prelude to conflict. Now I mentioned Ukraine earlier, let’s see what’s going on over there. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-zelenskyy-sweden-finland-jens-stoltenberg-1feb3640d59b05aceca62766d7d4f74d According to the Associated Press, US sending $1 billion more military aid to outgunned Ukraine Oh well good, at least this won’t add to our inflation. The U.S. announced it will send an additional $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine, as America and its allies provide longer-range weapons they say can make a difference in a fight where Ukrainian forces are outnumbered and outgunned by their Russian invaders. President Joe Biden and his top national security leaders said Wednesday the U.S. is moving as fast as possible to get critical weapons to the fight, even as Ukrainian officials protest that they need more, faster, in order to survive. The latest package, the U.S. said, includes anti-ship missile launchers, howitzers and more rounds for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) that U.S. forces are training Ukrainian troops on now. All are key weapons systems that Ukrainian leaders have urgently requested as they battle to stall Russia’s slow but steady march to conquer the eastern Donbas region. The aid is the largest single tranche of weapons and equipment since the war began. Biden, who spoke by phone with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for about 40 minutes Wednesday, also said the U.S. will send $225 million more in humanitarian assistance to provide safe drinking water, medical supplies, food, health care, shelter and money for families to buy essential items. The U.S. remains committed, Biden said in a statement, “to supporting the Ukrainian people whose lives have been ripped apart by this war.” The aid comes as Austin convened a meeting in Brussels of more than 45 nations to discuss support for Ukraine. At the start of the meeting, he warned that the West must step up weapons deliveries to Ukraine and prove its commitment to helping the country’s military fight along a 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line in a grinding war of attrition with Russia. He told the participating nations, “We can’t afford to let up and we can’t lose steam. The stakes are too high.” Overall, since the war began in late February, the U.S. has committed about $5.6 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, including this latest package. Officials said that about one-third of the latest $1 billion will be from presidential drawdown authority, which means the Pentagon will take weapons and equipment from it’s own stock and ship them to Ukraine. The remaining two-thirds would be equipment and weapons purchased from industry by the U.S. and then transferred to Ukraine. 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.

Flores beat Democrat Dan Sanchez in the special election for Texas’ 34th Congressional District. The seat was previously held by Rep. Filemon Vela (D) who stepped down earlier this year to become a lobbyist as all signs pointed to a brutal upcoming midterm election season for Democrats. Flores is now “the first GOP candidate to represent that area of the Rio Grande Valley since 1870,” the Houston Chronicle reported, adding that she is now “the first congresswoman born in Mexico.” To put this win into perspective for you guys, Hillary Clinton won Mayra’s county, Cameron County, by 33 points back in 2016. Biden won it by 13. The region has been devastated by Democrat President Joe Biden’s border crisis, something that has turned off many Hispanic voters that typically have voted for Democrats in the past. “Republicans have been eager to flip the seat as part of their new offensive in South Texas after Biden’s underperformance throughout the predominantly Hispanic region in the 2020 election. Flores and her allies spent over $1 million on TV ads in the special election,” the Texas Tribune reported. “The dynamic put Democrats into an unusual underdog position in a region of the state they have long dominated. Vastly outspent by Flores, Sanchez repeatedly compared the special election to a David vs. Goliath fight, with himself playing David.” MSNBC columnist Eric Michael Garcia panicked over the results of the election, saying that Democrats needed to be sounding the alarm immediately. Now for the topic that I love… sports! https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/06/15/george-washington-u-dumps-colonial-mascot-for-not-being-inclusive/ George Washington U. Dumps Colonial Mascot for Not Being ‘Inclusive’ George Washington University (GW) officials have decided to remove the school’s “Colonial” mascot following years of woke activists demanding the university ban it for not being “inclusive.” Students then suggested the university change its mascot to a “hippo” or a “riverhorse” instead. “After a thoughtful and deliberate process that engaged the university community for feedback, the George Washington University’s Board of Trustees has accepted the recommendation of a Special Committee to discontinue the use of the Colonials moniker,” GW announced in a statement. “The decision to change the Colonials moniker was not taken lightly,” the university added, before stressing that “a new moniker will help unify the university community and serve as a source of pride.” In a purported email shared to Twitter by Young Americas Foundation, the university went on stress that it is important for the new GW mascot to reflect “the values, strengths and diversity of our worldwide population.” The university added that choosing a new moniker “will require a deliberate and thoughtful process” that “will engage the entire GW community of alumni, students, friends, faculty and staff to ensure that everyone has the chance to be heard.” GW announcing that it has decided to scrap the Colonials comes after years of woke activists demanding the school change its mascot. The initial call to ban the university’s mascot began in 2018. In urging GW to end the Colonials, students argued the nickname may “discourage” the campus community due to it not being “inclusive.” Students then suggested the university change its mascot to a “hippo” or a “riverhorse” instead. Hippo? That is so not inclusive of fat people! I am sickened by these suggestions! The university said it will continue to use the Colonials mascot until a new nickname is chosen. The school’s new moniker is expected to be introduced by the 2023-2024 academic year. This has been your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief.
