Podcasts about operation freedom

Host Jeff opens the June 17, 2026 episode with a personal and prophetic tone, laying out two central subjects for the broadcast: the UFC Freedom 250 spectacle and the geopolitical consequences of the Iran conflict. He frames much of the episode through a religious lens—inviting listeners to pick between two spiritual paths—and plays the recurring show segment "Word on Word," where two Bible passages are presented and discussed. Jeff also shares a vivid personal anecdote about hearing shofar-like sounds that unsettled his dog and wife as an eerie prelude to the program. The show examines a viral post that cast the UFC event as more than a sporting spectacle—claiming it functioned as a public ceremony under Admiralty Law to restore American sovereignty. Jeff summarizes the post's timeline (from an appeal to return to God on April 18 through a National Prayer Day, a royal visit, Federal Reserve leadership changes, and the UFC event) and weighs which elements contain truth, which are symbolic, and which look staged. He discusses symbolic details listeners flagged—gold-fringed flags, the beehive emblem tied to Masonic imagery, and the Military District of Washington reference during the colors presentation. Jeff breaks down the on-the-ground happenings at the UFC: the rain delay commentators called a miraculous diversion, the viral fighter moment that ended with a controversial claim about Michelle Obama, the alleged Donald Trump Jr. DM controversy with commentator Daniel Cormier, and Joe Rogan's role in handling the mic. He argues the event functioned as a powerful "bread and circus" that rallied patriotic messaging while the political and legal transition narratives circulated in online patriot circles. Switching to foreign policy, Jeff provides a narrative of recent U.S.-Iran kinetic actions beginning February 28, assessing them as part of a larger banking and strategic campaign. He traces military operations that degraded Iran's capabilities, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz during "Operation Freedom," and how U.S. energy and re-industrialization gains factor into the strategic picture. Jeff situates Israel's cooperation, Hezbollah's role, and the wider alignment of Russia, China, India, and Iran within an eschatological framework—arguing the current moves are reshaping alliances and could presage larger conflicts tied to end-times prophecy. Throughout the episode Jeff mixes analysis with pointed cultural and spiritual commentary: criticisms of global elites, references to Noahide laws and Commonwealth legal trends, and concerns about ritualistic abuses and child trafficking. He acknowledges the mixing of genuine legal or geopolitical facts with conspiratorial interpretation and invites listeners to discern truth through faith. The broadcast closes with Jeff announcing a prayer meeting, sharing a personal health update that will affect his schedule, and ending the show with two songs he says complete a narrative begun by the opening track.

Operation Freedom secretly led ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The driver in the bus accident killing 5 and injuring 44 had a CDL and spoke no English. North Carolina court rules in favor of RNC to stop illegal voting. Washington Nationals fire director of community relations who violated the civil rights of their Christian pitcher Trevor Williams and other breaking stories.

Operation Freedom abruptly halted as US ships are fired upon and Donald John begs for help to get out of the conflict in Iran after being unable to effectively reopen the Strait of Hormuz. 

Donald John announces "Operation Freedom" and claims US ships will escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz and Amelia's satirical comments on tearing down schools and educating children in "ballrooms" for their safety is met with MAGA backlash online.

Eric and Eliot lament the firing of 200 Foreign Service officers and the recent large-scale exodus of senior diplomats from public service. They discuss the impact of the Trump Administration's diplomatic malpractice including the handling of Operation Freedom and their own disagreements about it. They assess the likely costs of ensuring Iran is not left in control of the Strait of Hormuz and the inevitable long-term future US presence in the Persian Gulf.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US President Donald Trump on Sunday rejected Iran’s latest proposal to end the war with the US and Israel, calling it unacceptable. Meanwhile, Trump said the United States would on Monday morning begin an effort to “guide” stranded ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, which he is branding "Operation Freedom." Fabian fills us in on an IDF briefing he attended on Friday, which assessed the Iran war's achievements so far. Amid constant tit-for-tat explosive conflict between Hezbollah and the IDF, the ceasefire doesn't exist in southern Lebanon, states Fabian. We delve into the Iranian-backed terror group's use of relatively cheap drones that are guided by fiber optic cables, making them effectively immune to electronic jamming. US President Donald Trump’s ​plan for the Gaza Strip, which was initially embraced by Israel and Hamas, calls for Israeli troops to withdraw from the enclave and reconstruction to ⁠start as Hamas lays down its weapons. As Hamas is not showing any signs of disarming, how is the IDF preparing? Religious Zionist rabbis from a range of institutions representing the community expressed their concern over a plan to allow women to serve with men in the Israel Defense Forces Armored Corps, with at least some vowing to instruct the students not to serve in tanks as long as that remains a possibility. Fabian delves into the recent conscription data of fighters from the haredi community versus female fighters. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Iran en de Verenigde Staten wisselen via Pakistan voorstellen uit om binnen dertig dagen een einde te maken aan de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten. In een veertienpuntenplan van Iran ontbreken nucleaire afspraken volledig, tot frustratie van Washington, terwijl de Straat van Hormuz en garanties tegen toekomstige aanvallen centraal staan, zegt Midden-Oostenverslaggever Tara Kenkhuis. Intussen dreigt Donald Trump met ‘Operation Freedom’ om vastliggende schepen te begeleiden, wat Iran als oorlogshandeling kan zien. In Nederland blijft het risico op natuurbranden hoog, ondanks de regen van het weekend. Onderzoeker Gerbert Roerink van Wageningen University & Research wijst op aanhoudende droogte, hoge maatschappelijke kosten van recente branden en de rol van militaire oefeningen als vermoedelijke oorzaak, en pleit voor herziening van protocollen nu Nederland al op waarschuwingsniveau fase 2 zit. Tegelijkertijd wordt voor het eerst grootschalig een beroep gedaan op hulp uit andere EU-landen bij het blussen. Oekraïne voert de druk op Rusland op met grootschalige drone-aanvallen diep in Russisch gebied, onder meer op havens, olieraffinaderijen en de schaduwvloot in de Zwarte Zee. Volgens Oekraïne-correspondent Chris Colijn wordt het Kremlin nerveus voor mogelijke aanvallen tijdens de 9 mei-parade, terwijl Oekraïne zijn droneproductie weet op te voeren. In Europa groeit de steun: het VK wil zich aansluiten bij de Europese lening van 90 miljard euro voor Oekraïne, waarover premier Keir Starmer spreekt tijdens de top van de Europese Politieke Gemeenschap in Armenië.

The MSM also chooses to ignore the crimes of TPUSA and the clear evidence of nation state involvement in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

As the US military intervenes in another Middle East conflict, we're told it's because Iran is harbouring weapons of mass destruction (in contradiction to US intelligence). We're also told forced regime change will ‘liberate' women from Islamic tyranny. WMDs? Operation Freedom? Haven't we heard these justifications before? To start, we look at lessons for the media from the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and re-centre Iranian women in debates about their fates. After the break: ‘NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS' in Johnny Depp's new exclusive with the Sunday Times… except the most important question. How this ‘poor me' piece legitimises abusers' victimhood narratives, and attempts to delegitimise the Me Too movement. And finally, the UK government has moved to proscribe ‘Palestine Action' as a terrorist organisation for spray-painting RAF planes. Media Storm questions why we need anti-terror laws on top of regular anti-crime laws, and whether politicising justice can ever be in the public interest.

2001 invaderade USA, med hjälp av sina NATO-allierade, Afghanistan med syfte att störta Talibanregimen som styrt landet sedan 1996. Sammantaget var kriget i Afghanistan mycket kort, men ockupationen desto längre. Operation Enduring Freedom var en direkt konsekvens av attackerna mot New Yorks Twin Towers i september 2001. Men konflikten mellan de islamistiska terrororganisationerna i Afghanistan och USA hade pågått under hela 1990-talet. I dagens avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden pratar idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved och professorn i historia Martin Hårdstedt om invasionen av Afghanistan 2001, även kallad ”Operation Enduring Freedom”. Mindre än en månad efter Osama Bin Ladens attacker mot New York påbörjade USA sin invasion. Den 7:e oktober sattes bombningarna igång. Lika snabbt var invasionen över. Den 13:e november gick USA och deras allierade in i Kabul och fällde den sittande regeringen, och i december kunde man konstatera att Talibanerna hade besegrats. Precis som med den sovjetiska invasionen av Afghanistan 1979 betydde dock inte Kabuls fall att motståndet försvann. Precis som tidigare drog sig Talibanerna tillbaka ner i södra Afghanistan och in i Pakistan, och kriget fortgick fram till 2021 i vågor fram och tillbaka genom gerillakrigföring i de afghanska bergsområdena och över opiumfälten i Helmand. Som stöd hade USA med sig NATO-alliansen, men samarbetet mellan å ena sidan de olika europeiska länderna och Kanada å andra sidan USA förblev ansträngd. Attackerna mot New York innebar att NATO:s artikel 5 aktiverades för första gången i alliansens historia, men graden av uppslutning på USA:s sida varierade stort och med olika stort stöd. De politiska konflikterna mellan medlemsstaterna och USA blev ännu värre efter att USA och Storbritannien beslutade att angripa Irak 2003 för att en gång för alla göra sig av med Saddam Hussein. Även de nordiska länderna engagerade sig, men med olika politiska motiv. Norge och Danmark slöt upp som ”goda allierade” i Afghanistan och Finland och Sverige engagerade sig i fredsbevarande operationer under ISAF-flagg. Danmark var särskilt engagerade och förlorade också mest soldater i förhållande till sin folkmängd. Sammantaget var Operation Freedom i Afghanistan kulmen på ett inbördeskrig som pågått sedan Saur-revolutionen 1978, och som delvis ännu inte kommit till någon lösning. Den amerikanska utrymningen av Afghanistan 2021 innebar en bitter reträtt, med konsekvensen att Talibanerna återkom till makten. På det hela taget blev Operation Enduring Freedom ett misslyckande, och de militära erfarenheterna och lärdomarna sparsmakade.

Military Medicine & WarDocs present: "Insights and Take-Home Messages from the Author" Article Title: United States Military Fatalities During Operation Inherent Resolve and Operation Freedom's Sentinel Military Medicine, Volume 188, Issue 9-10, September/October 2023, Pages 3045–3056 Link to Article: https://academic.oup.com/milmed/article/188/9-10/3045/6584429 Episode Summary:       Join us as retired Army Colonel Dr. Russ Kotwal takes us through the complexities of analyzing military fatalities in combat operations discussing his recent article in Military Medicine. Drawing from his extensive experience and in-depth research, Dr. Kotwal breaks down how changes in military missions, resources, and roles of engagement over time can influence the outcome of these operations. You'll gain valuable insights into the significance of mortality reviews from previous major military operations in guiding injury prevention and future combat casualty care efforts. Also, we take time to clarify important terms such as 'DNBI' and 'Battle Injury', and their relevance to cause of death.      In our discussion, we venture into the realm of military medical terminology used to define battle injuries and casualties. Listen in as we fully define terms like killed in action, died of wounds, injury survivability, and death preventability. To help you understand these terms and their meanings better, we explore the Joint Trauma System lexicon, an indispensable tool in military trauma care.      Don't miss out as we dissect the case fatality rate for battle injuries in the context of combat casualty care. We look at data from World War II, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and draw comparisons between OIR and OFS. We also touch on the role of the Joint Trauma System and the Department of Defense Trauma Registry and their potential impact on the case fatality rate in large-scale combat operations. Our discussion extends to the examination of autopsy reports and the implications they carry for garrison care and the readiness of the medical force. Join us in this enlightening exploration of military trauma mortality and injury severity.   Episode Chapters: (0:00:00) - Analyzing Military Fatalities in Combat Operations Dr. Kotwal discusses military missions, resources, mortality reviews, DNBI and Battle Injury, and injury prevention for combat casualty care.   (0:05:29) - Military Trauma Care Medical Terms We discuss military battle injuries, casualties, KIA/DOW, survivability, death preventability, and the joint trauma lexicon.   (0:21:07) - Analyzing Case Fatality Rates and Lessons We compare case fatality rates of battle injuries in WW2, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, examining the Joint Trauma System, DoD Trauma Registry, and autopsy reports.   (0:30:22) - Military Trauma Mortality and Injury Severity Hemorrhage, injury severity scores, blast and gunshot wounds, and future Mortality analysis projects are discussed.   Take Home Messages: Understanding military missions, resources, and roles of engagement is crucial in analyzing the outcomes of combat operations and informing future casualty care efforts. The terms 'DNBI' and 'Battle Injury' play a key role in understanding the cause of death in combat scenarios. Military medical terminology such as 'killed in action', 'died of wounds', 'injury survivability', and 'death preventability' are critical in the analysis of military trauma care. The Joint Trauma Lexicon is an invaluable tool that helps in understanding complex military medical terms and their meanings. The case fatality rate for battle injuries has varied across different combat operations such as World War II, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The Joint Trauma System and the Department of Defense Trauma Registry have significantly impacted case fatality rates in large-scale combat operations. Autopsy reports play a critical role in understanding the prevalence of certain diseases and conditions in the military and can have implications for garrison care and the readiness of the medical force. The role of hemorrhage in military trauma mortality reviews, the use of injury severity scores, and the development of new metrics are all important factors in the analysis of military trauma mortality. There is a need for more research into the impact of underlying illnesses such as atherosclerosis on military service members, including better pre and post-deployment screening and prophylactic medical therapy. Studying cases deemed survivable and potentially preventable can lead to important lessons in both prevention and care, helping improve outcomes in future combat operations. Episode Keywords: Military Trauma Care, Mortality Reviews, Combat Operations, DNBI, BI, Killed in Action, Died of Wounds, Injury Survivability, Death Preventability, Joint Trauma Lexicon, Case Fatality Rate, World War II, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, OIR, OFS, Joint Trauma System, Department of Defense Trauma Registry, Autopsy Reports, Garrison Care, Medical Force Readiness, Hemorrhage, Injury Severity Scores, Blast Wounds, Gunshot Wounds, Survivability, Prevention Hashtags: #MilitaryTraumaCare #CombatCasualtyAnalysis #MilitaryMedicine #InjurySurvivability #DeathPreventability #CaseFatalityRate #MilitaryMissions #JointTraumaSystem #WarCasualtyInsights   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

What's it like to be a real Top Gun? Well colonel Kim KC Campbell tells her harrowing tale of surviving almost being shot down over Baghdad during Operation Freedom. From being inspired to be an Air Force Academy graduate after watching the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, to being deployed to Kuwait shortly after 911, to her miraculous landing, Kim opens up about overcoming fear, and focusing on getting her A-10 Warthog back to base. "When I landed I couldn't see the damage. But I climbed down and was greeted by the Marine Corps firefighters,...and they look at me, then the plane then back at me, and lined up to shake my hand...and then I looked. There were over 600 bullet holes in the jet, and a gaping hole in the fuselage." This is an interview you must listen to as Kim shares her epic experience of survival. Kim is the real Top Gun.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, May 31st, 2023. https://www.christiantoday.com/article/archbishop.distressed.by.attacks.on.christians.in.india/140278.htm Archbishop 'distressed' by attacks on Christians in India The Archbishop of Canterbury has lamented violent attacks on indigenous tribal Christians in north-eastern India. Archbishop Justin Welby said he was "distressed" by the reports of violence coming out of Manipur state in recent weeks. Writing on Twitter, the Archbishop said he was praying that "justice and peace would prevail" in the region. The violence, carried out by Hindu nationalists, has killed dozens and displaced around 10,000 people, mostly Christians. Many churches and buildings belonging to Christians have also been destroyed. The Archbishop said he was praying "that regional authorities would protect all minority groups, including Christians and their places of worship, and that justice and peace would prevail". Open Doors last week shared reports from Christian partners on the ground fear that the violence will lead to a civil war. They have expressed disappointment at what they see as a lack of action by the Indian government and local authorities to quell the violence. According to Open Doors, at least 300 churches have been burned or demolished and 1,000 Christian homes have been destroyed in Manipur in the last few weeks. The NGO is providing support to Christians caught up in the violence but has warned that conditions are "grim", and many are still fearing for their lives. "If the situation continues civil war is inevitable," said an Open Doors partner who cannot be named for security reasons. "If there is a civil war the situation will only become more gruesome, more lives lost, properties destroyed and further open persecution of religious minorities." https://taskandpurpose.com/news/taliban-humvee-m240-iran-fight/ The Taliban is using leftover American gear to fight a border skirmish with Iran A gunfight broke out between Iranian border guards and Taliban fighters along the border between Iran and Afghanistan this weekend. Fighting killed three people in the biggest escalation between the two countries over water. And the Taliban brought out a big gun to help. Video posted to social media offered an up-close view of the skirmish, inside an unexpected place: an Humvee kitted out with an M240 machine gun. If that looks familiar it’s because those are some of the pieces of military equipment captured by the Taliban, now put into use for fighting other parties. Other accounts shared online reported heavy machine gun fire, as well as purported use of mortars and other explosives. Outside of the Humvee, Taliban fighters were spotted using AK-style rifles and RPGs to attack the Iranian position on the border. At least three people are confirmed to have died in Saturday’s gunfight, although accounts vary on how many belonged to each side. The Taliban claimed at least one of its fighters was killed, while an Iranian paper said all deaths were on Iran’s side, per al-Jazeera. The fighting took place in the Nimroz province of Afghanistan. As a result, the border crossing between Milak and Zaranj in Iran and Afghanistan, respectively, closed (it was not where the fighting took place). Both nations accused the other of starting the gunfight. The fighting between the two nations broke out amid political fights over water rights. Drought has been a serious issue in Afghanistan for the last three years. The Helmand River flows from Afghanistan into Iran and is dammed on the Afghan side. Earlier in May, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called on the Taliban not to restrict the flow of water. More than a year since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, the group is using all kinds of seized American and NATO weapons. It’s not a new development. The Taliban regularly used captured American-provided equipment when fighting the U.S.-backed government. In the later years of the war, special Taliban units were spotted wearing American-style driving Humvees and even wielding weapons belonging to special operations units. During the fall of Kabul in 2021, Los Angeles Times reporter Nabih Bulos captured footage of Taliban fighters in the city dressed like special operations forces. When the U.S.-backed government fell and the Afghan security forces collapsed, the Taliban got its hand on a lot of leftover weapons and equipment. A 2022 report from the Pentagon’s lead inspector general for Operation Enduring Sentinel and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel found that approximately $7.12 billion in equipment was still in the country when the Taliban took over. That included everything from rifles to aircraft. https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/africa-uganda-gay-rights/2023/05/29/id/1121533/ Uganda Signs Anti-gay Law With Death Penalty for 'Aggravated Homosexuality' Uganda's president has signed into law tough new anti-gay legislation supported by many in this East African country but widely condemned by rights activists and others abroad. The version of the bill signed by President Yoweri Museveni does not criminalize those who identify as LGBTQ, a key concern for campaigners who condemned an earlier draft of the legislation as an egregious attack on human rights. But the new law still prescribes the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality," which is defined as cases of sexual relations involving people infected with HIV as well as with minors and other categories of vulnerable people. A suspect convicted of "attempted aggravated homosexuality" can be imprisoned for up to 14 years, according to the legislation. Parliamentary Speaker Anita Among said in a statement the president had "answered the cries of our people" in signing the bill. "With a lot of humility, I thank my colleagues the Members of Parliament for withstanding all the pressure from bullies and doomsday conspiracy theorists in the interest of our country," the statement said. Museveni had returned the bill to the national assembly in April, asking for changes that would differentiate between identifying as LGBTQ and actually engaging in homosexual acts. That angered some lawmakers, including some who feared the president would proceed to veto the bill amid international pressure. Lawmakers passed an amended version of the bill earlier in May. Homosexuality was already illegal in Uganda under a colonial-era law criminalizing sexual activity "against the order of nature." The punishment for that offense is life imprisonment. The U.S. has warned of economic consequences over legislation described by Amnesty International as "draconian and overly broad." The leaders of the U.N. AIDS program, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the Global Fund in a joint statement Monday said they "are deeply concerned about the harmful impact" of the legislation on public health and the HIV response. "Uganda's progress on its HIV response is now in grave jeopardy," the statement said. "The Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 will obstruct health education and the outreach that can help end AIDS as a public health threat." That statement noted that "stigma and discrimination associated with the passage of the Act has already led to reduced access to prevention as well as treatment services" for LGBTQ people. Anti-gay sentiment in Uganda has grown in recent weeks amid news coverage alleging sodomy in boarding schools, including a prestigious one for boys where a parent accused a teacher of abusing her son. The February decision of the Church of England 's national assembly to continue banning church weddings for same-sex couples while allowing priests to bless same-sex marriages and civil partnerships inflamed many in Uganda and elsewhere in Africa. Homosexuality is criminalized in more than 30 of Africa's 54 countries.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, May 31st, 2023. https://www.christiantoday.com/article/archbishop.distressed.by.attacks.on.christians.in.india/140278.htm Archbishop 'distressed' by attacks on Christians in India The Archbishop of Canterbury has lamented violent attacks on indigenous tribal Christians in north-eastern India. Archbishop Justin Welby said he was "distressed" by the reports of violence coming out of Manipur state in recent weeks. Writing on Twitter, the Archbishop said he was praying that "justice and peace would prevail" in the region. The violence, carried out by Hindu nationalists, has killed dozens and displaced around 10,000 people, mostly Christians. Many churches and buildings belonging to Christians have also been destroyed. The Archbishop said he was praying "that regional authorities would protect all minority groups, including Christians and their places of worship, and that justice and peace would prevail". Open Doors last week shared reports from Christian partners on the ground fear that the violence will lead to a civil war. They have expressed disappointment at what they see as a lack of action by the Indian government and local authorities to quell the violence. According to Open Doors, at least 300 churches have been burned or demolished and 1,000 Christian homes have been destroyed in Manipur in the last few weeks. The NGO is providing support to Christians caught up in the violence but has warned that conditions are "grim", and many are still fearing for their lives. "If the situation continues civil war is inevitable," said an Open Doors partner who cannot be named for security reasons. "If there is a civil war the situation will only become more gruesome, more lives lost, properties destroyed and further open persecution of religious minorities." https://taskandpurpose.com/news/taliban-humvee-m240-iran-fight/ The Taliban is using leftover American gear to fight a border skirmish with Iran A gunfight broke out between Iranian border guards and Taliban fighters along the border between Iran and Afghanistan this weekend. Fighting killed three people in the biggest escalation between the two countries over water. And the Taliban brought out a big gun to help. Video posted to social media offered an up-close view of the skirmish, inside an unexpected place: an Humvee kitted out with an M240 machine gun. If that looks familiar it’s because those are some of the pieces of military equipment captured by the Taliban, now put into use for fighting other parties. Other accounts shared online reported heavy machine gun fire, as well as purported use of mortars and other explosives. Outside of the Humvee, Taliban fighters were spotted using AK-style rifles and RPGs to attack the Iranian position on the border. At least three people are confirmed to have died in Saturday’s gunfight, although accounts vary on how many belonged to each side. The Taliban claimed at least one of its fighters was killed, while an Iranian paper said all deaths were on Iran’s side, per al-Jazeera. The fighting took place in the Nimroz province of Afghanistan. As a result, the border crossing between Milak and Zaranj in Iran and Afghanistan, respectively, closed (it was not where the fighting took place). Both nations accused the other of starting the gunfight. The fighting between the two nations broke out amid political fights over water rights. Drought has been a serious issue in Afghanistan for the last three years. The Helmand River flows from Afghanistan into Iran and is dammed on the Afghan side. Earlier in May, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called on the Taliban not to restrict the flow of water. More than a year since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, the group is using all kinds of seized American and NATO weapons. It’s not a new development. The Taliban regularly used captured American-provided equipment when fighting the U.S.-backed government. In the later years of the war, special Taliban units were spotted wearing American-style driving Humvees and even wielding weapons belonging to special operations units. During the fall of Kabul in 2021, Los Angeles Times reporter Nabih Bulos captured footage of Taliban fighters in the city dressed like special operations forces. When the U.S.-backed government fell and the Afghan security forces collapsed, the Taliban got its hand on a lot of leftover weapons and equipment. A 2022 report from the Pentagon’s lead inspector general for Operation Enduring Sentinel and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel found that approximately $7.12 billion in equipment was still in the country when the Taliban took over. That included everything from rifles to aircraft. https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/africa-uganda-gay-rights/2023/05/29/id/1121533/ Uganda Signs Anti-gay Law With Death Penalty for 'Aggravated Homosexuality' Uganda's president has signed into law tough new anti-gay legislation supported by many in this East African country but widely condemned by rights activists and others abroad. The version of the bill signed by President Yoweri Museveni does not criminalize those who identify as LGBTQ, a key concern for campaigners who condemned an earlier draft of the legislation as an egregious attack on human rights. But the new law still prescribes the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality," which is defined as cases of sexual relations involving people infected with HIV as well as with minors and other categories of vulnerable people. A suspect convicted of "attempted aggravated homosexuality" can be imprisoned for up to 14 years, according to the legislation. Parliamentary Speaker Anita Among said in a statement the president had "answered the cries of our people" in signing the bill. "With a lot of humility, I thank my colleagues the Members of Parliament for withstanding all the pressure from bullies and doomsday conspiracy theorists in the interest of our country," the statement said. Museveni had returned the bill to the national assembly in April, asking for changes that would differentiate between identifying as LGBTQ and actually engaging in homosexual acts. That angered some lawmakers, including some who feared the president would proceed to veto the bill amid international pressure. Lawmakers passed an amended version of the bill earlier in May. Homosexuality was already illegal in Uganda under a colonial-era law criminalizing sexual activity "against the order of nature." The punishment for that offense is life imprisonment. The U.S. has warned of economic consequences over legislation described by Amnesty International as "draconian and overly broad." The leaders of the U.N. AIDS program, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the Global Fund in a joint statement Monday said they "are deeply concerned about the harmful impact" of the legislation on public health and the HIV response. "Uganda's progress on its HIV response is now in grave jeopardy," the statement said. "The Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 will obstruct health education and the outreach that can help end AIDS as a public health threat." That statement noted that "stigma and discrimination associated with the passage of the Act has already led to reduced access to prevention as well as treatment services" for LGBTQ people. Anti-gay sentiment in Uganda has grown in recent weeks amid news coverage alleging sodomy in boarding schools, including a prestigious one for boys where a parent accused a teacher of abusing her son. The February decision of the Church of England 's national assembly to continue banning church weddings for same-sex couples while allowing priests to bless same-sex marriages and civil partnerships inflamed many in Uganda and elsewhere in Africa.

For the first time in three years, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels have a new flight leader. Cmdr. Alexander Armatas officially took command of the Naval Flight Exhibition Team on November 13, 2022, at a ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida. He replaced Captain Brian Kesselring, who led the Team during its 75th anniversary and the transition to the F/A-18 Super Hornet. In this interview, Boss Armatas discusses his priorities and focus as the new commanding officer and flight leader for the Blue Angels, including getting to know each member of the Team, mastering the 45 minute air show demonstration, and ensuring his fitness and nutrition are optimized for high intensity flying and a rigorous schedule. With winter training in El Centro, California just weeks away, Boss Armatas also provides insight into the current flying syllabus and milestones the Team are focused on achieving, including flying the first Delta Formation for the 2023 Blue Angels. A native of Skaneateles, New York, Boss Armatas cites flyovers by a formation of F-16 Falcons from the New York National Guard and exposure to cargo operations at the Syracuse International Airport as early influences that sparked his passion for aviation. He also attended a number of airshows in London, Ontario, Canada during his informative years where he witnessed the Blue Angels perform for the first time. Graduating from the United States Naval Academy in 2002 with a degree in aerospace engineering, Boss Armatas earned his Wings of Gold in June of 2005 at Naval Air Station (NAS) Meridian, Mississippi. Initially assigned to NAS Lemoore, California, he served in a variety of different roles as part of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 115, the “Eagles” and deployed three times on board the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. In 2009, Boss Armatas graduated from the world famous TOPGUN course at NAS Fallon, Nevada before joining VFA-122 the “Flying Eagles” where he was named the 2010 VFA-122  Instructor Pilot of the Year. Transferring to VFA-14 the “Tophatters”, Boss Armatas supported Operation Enduring Freedom in 2013 aboard the USS John C Stennis (CVN-74). Following this tour, he reported to NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia to serve as the Department Head for FVA-143 the “Pukin' Dogs” and deployed aboard the USS Harry S Truman (CVN-75) in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. After  serving as a Strike Fighter Placement Officer for the Navy Personnel Command (NPC) in Millington, Tennessee in 2017, Boss Armatas reported to VFA-105 the “Gunslingers” where he served as both Executive Officer and Commanding Officer during his tenure and deployed twice aboard the USS Dwight D Eisenhower (CVN-69) in support of Operation Freedom's Sentinel. With the encouragement of former Blue Angels pilot, John Hiltz, Boss Armatas submitted his application for the Blue Angels after accumulating more that 4,100 flight hours and 911 carrier-arrested landing. He was announced as the Commanding Officer of the Blue Angels in April of 2022 and officially joined the team in August. 2023 Blue Angels Team1. CDR Alexander Armatas2. LCDR Chris Kapuschansky3.

Niners continue to roll and now on a 7-game win streak after taking the show up to Seattle and putting it on the Seahawks to clinch the Western Division Title! Brock Purdy continued to roll as did the Niner's top ranked defense. Three games left as we fight for the 2nd seed in the NFC and some home field games. Just keep playing Niner ball and this will be a special Holiday Season indeed!!For our “Christmas/Holiday” show we deliberately picked Operation Freedom Paws, a non-profit organization serving veterans through paring and training them with rescued service dogs. Nothing says happy holidays like rescued dogs matched with veterans, and trained as service dogs. This is an amazing feel-good story about this dog and vet-friendly non-profit located in San Martin, CA. OFP was founded by Mary Cortani, an Army and Vietnam era veteran, who is a certified Army Master Instructor of Canine Education and an American Kennel Club Certified Canine Good Citizen© Evaluator. Mary serves as the OFP President and Executive Director of Operations. Mary started OFP in 2010 after she was contacted by a vet who was facing a 1-year wait period to be matched with a service dog. After looking into it Mary found the need was immense and she in turn answered the call. Why match veterans with service dogs you might ask. Well, simply because dogs are amazing and when properly matched and well trained, they can read their veterans and help alert them and protect them and assist them in navigating the perils and challenges of living life with PTSD (and a variety of other mental and/or physical challenges). OFP not only rescues all their dogs, they also then train the veterans to train the dogs through a lengthy and detailed training program. The match and bonding that takes place makes all the difference and the results are amazing.You will hear Mary's story along with 2 of their veterans who have gone through the program and live with their own OFP service dogs. We met them and their pups and honestly it was all so amazing the difference these dogs make in the lives of these veterans. We know you will enjoy the show and encourage you to check them out and consider supporting them. Happy Holidays!! Wherever you are and whoever you are with, we wish you the very best and most wonderful of times. Take care of yourself, set limits, say no if needed and yes only if you want to. Stay connected and remember you are not alone!!  Love, peace, gratitude, and grace, for you and all your tribe this holiday season. Bruce & EmmaOFP Website: operationfreedompaws.orgOFP End-of-Year Giving Platform: (QR code attached as well) https://ofpendofyear22.givesmart.com
