SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhat if solving homelessness meant hiding it?In this episode of A World Gone Mad, I break down a new federal move that looks more like a political stage play than a solution. It's not about housing. It's not about services. It's about erasure — and the incentives behind it are as disturbing as the strategy itself.There's a plan being rolled out with brutal precision, and if you think it sounds like satire, just wait until you hear who's in charge. Compassion is out. Optics are everything. And once again, the most vulnerable are being weaponized for political gain.Later in this episode, I take a hard swerve into the back alley where reason goes to die — with this week's segment of News from the Edge of Sanity.It's a triple-header of unfiltered absurdity, featuring government failure, bad decisions, and one of the weirdest TSA discoveries you'll ever hear. No spoilers — but this segment might top anything I've covered all month.If you think the country's lost control, you're right — but the details are somehow dumber, darker, and more jaw-dropping than you're imagining.So wherever you are — stuck in traffic, walking off stress, or just hiding from the world in a bathroom stall — thanks for hitting play. This one's worth hearing to the end.AFTER you listen to this episode, please call my voicemail box to get the answer.Listen — and you'll understand.

The garden may be dense, but look at the fruit and not just the blooms. It's discernment in the age of distortion. We are saturated with narratives and manipulated images. This is not just a glitch in the system. A lack of public awareness brings tyranny. Those who are not informed are being handled. North Dakota's child trafficking history, and the Governor involved. We are each responsible for what we accept. We must start slow in trusting again. Like everything, discernment starts with courage. It's all about being fooled before but not again. Truth has been rebranded. Real world comparisons are brutal. Most movements are mostly info campaigns. Sidelining real activists is the goal. True fringe or verifiable? It's not about public figures, but each of us. Truth doesn't demand instant belief. They want you not thinking, but outsourcing. Let's all develop discernment and make truth a weapon. It's the great slayer of evil, both now and in the future.

Ryan Holm is the new Director of Marketing for Leica's Sport Optics division. While Ryan is new to the high-performance optics industry, he is no stranger to the hunting market. I first met Ryan when he was in a similar position with the pack company, Mystery Ranch. I still give him major credit for building that brand into the category leader.    Revitalizing an optics company in the hunting, birding and outdoor recreation industries simultaneously is tricky business, they all have their own biases, and he has to be sensitive to all of them.  Ryan and I talk about how 20 years of experience will help him to accomplish just that. It was great catching up with him, but I more excited to see what he can do with a legacy brand like Leica.  

In Episode 374 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright dig deep into the newly released declassified appendix to the DOJ's IG report on the Clinton email investigation, and the implications are seismic. From unexamined thumb drives to evidence that may have been exfiltrated from the Executive Office of the President, the hosts walk through what they call one of the biggest cover-ups in modern American history. They explore how the Clinton investigation and Russiagate were not separate scandals, but two sides of the same coin, engineered to cover each other and to stop Trump. Jon and BB also reflect on Trump's recent Truth Social posts calling out Obama as the ringleader of the Russia hoax, breaking down how Trump's carefully chosen words may signal upcoming moves. They dive into recent judicial happenings, the Maui fire cover-up, bizarre military activity, and the media's silence on major stories. It's an episode packed with red-pilled analysis, sharp speculation, and a sobering look at what the unraveling of the official narrative might truly mean.

In this episode, I replay an episode from last year as it falls in line with the completion of the NFHS Rule Book Series In the world of football, penalty enforcement is a critical yet often misunderstood aspect of the game. As Jim Corpora, a seasoned official, explains, the rules surrounding penalties are both complex and nuanced, requiring officials to balance precision with efficiency. This episode delves into the intricacies of penalty enforcement, offering insights from Jim's extensive experience.Understanding Rule 10: Penalty enforcement in football is governed by Rule 10, which has seen significant changes over the years. Jim highlights the importance of efficient penalty administration, noting that delays or miscommunications can create poor optics for coaches and spectators. The 2023 rule changes, for instance, aim to align high school rules more closely with collegiate standards, offering offenses a fairer chance to recover from penalties.Live Ball vs. Dead Ball Fouls: A key distinction in penalty enforcement is between live ball and dead ball fouls. Live ball fouls occur during active play, such as pass interference, while dead ball fouls happen after the play has ended, like a late hit. Understanding this difference is crucial for officials, as it affects how penalties are enforced and can significantly impact the game's flow.The Role of Optics and Communication: Jim emphasizes the role of optics and communication in officiating. A well-delivered announcement by the referee can clarify complex penalty situations for everyone involved, from players to fans. In today's digital age, where every play can be captured and shared online, maintaining professionalism and clarity is more important than ever.Penalty enforcement in football is a blend of art and science, requiring officials to master the rules while maintaining clear communication. As Jim Corpora advises, officials should strive to eliminate avoidable mistakes and present a professional image, ensuring the game is played fairly and smoothly. For those interested in the finer details, diving into Rule 10 and related resources can provide valuable insights into this essential aspect of football.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest in football officiating and more insights from experts like Jim Corpora.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we explore the latest discoveries in lunar geology, the intriguing concept of dark dwarves, and the stunning features of the Carina Nebula.The Youngest Basaltic Lunar MeteoriteScientists have uncovered a 2.35 billion-year-old lunar meteorite, Northwest Africa 16286, which fills a significant gap in our understanding of the Moon's volcanic history. This meteorite, distinct in its chemical profile, suggests that volcanic activity on the Moon persisted longer than previously thought, unveiling new insights into its internal heat generation processes. Lead author Joshua Snape from the University of Manchester explains how this rare sample enhances our knowledge of lunar geology without the costs associated with space missions.Hypothetical Dark Dwarfs and Dark MatterA new study proposes the existence of hypothetical objects called dark dwarves, which could help unravel the mystery of dark matter—an invisible substance that constitutes approximately 80% of the universe's mass. Researchers suggest that these low-mass objects could interact with dark matter in ways that produce observable effects, providing a potential pathway to understand this elusive component of the cosmos. The study highlights the importance of identifying markers, such as lithium-7, to confirm the existence of dark dwarfs and advance our understanding of dark matter.Adaptive Optics and the Carina NebulaUsing adaptive optics, astronomers have achieved unprecedented clarity in imaging the western wall of the Carina Nebula, revealing intricate structures previously hidden by dust and gas. This breakthrough allows for a deeper investigation into star formation processes in this massive stellar nursery. The enhanced images showcase how massive young stars influence their surroundings and contribute to the cycle of stellar life, offering a glimpse into the conditions that may have shaped our own solar system.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physicshttps://www.journalofcosmology.com/Nature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/natureBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 00:49 04:51 09:17 15:16 17:08

Donald Trump has instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to request the unsealing of federal grand jury documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The move follows mounting public interest and skepticism surrounding the government's handling of the case, particularly after the DOJ declared the Epstein matter closed and reiterated that no “client list” exists. Trump framed the decision as a step toward transparency, stating it would help end speculation and restore public trust. Bondi responded that she is prepared to move quickly to file the appropriate motions in court.While the directive represents a notable shift in approach, the actual impact of releasing grand jury materials remains uncertain. Such records are typically subject to strict legal protections and, even if unsealed, may contain redactions or limited information. The release could shed light on previously undisclosed aspects of the case, but by itself, it may not address broader questions surrounding Epstein's network, co-conspirators, or institutional failures. As a standalone action, it opens the door to further scrutiny but does not guarantee meaningful new revelations unless followed by deeper, sustained investigative efforts.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bondi says she'll try to unseal Epstein grand jury records - ABC News

In this episode of Taking It Back, Zak Paine and Adel Nero go deep on Trump's bold Truth Social post declaring the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” analyzing the former president's messaging and media strategy. They argue that Trump's controversial comments are a tactical move designed to bait mainstream media and provoke mass exposure of a long-suppressed issue, child trafficking and institutional corruption, under the guise of political damage control. The conversation expands into a broader discussion of legacy media collapse, independent journalism's rise, and how Trump supporters must look beyond emotional triggers to understand the long game. They also tackle the role of Maureen Comey in prosecuting high-profile trafficking cases, her sudden firing, and the implications for future investigations. With humor, clarity, and plenty of sharp edge, the hosts call out performative influencers, explain why mainstream polling still favors Trump despite the media circus, and highlight how blackmail networks could be rooted in deep intelligence operations far beyond Epstein himself. This is a no-nonsense takedown of distraction narratives and a passionate defense of trusting the mission.

Episode: 1406 The end of the medieval age of reason.  Today, a brief bright era in medieval Europe.

In this thoughtful episode, Adel Nero, Frankie Val, and Zak “RedPill78” Paine step back from the news cycle to reflect on burnout, balance, and the growing disillusionment with both mainstream and alternative media. The conversation begins with stories of Fourth of July celebrations and the power of simple moments that recharge the spirit. From there, the hosts explore why nonstop news consumption exhausts audiences and content creators alike, and how monetization incentives on platforms like Twitter have made rage-bait and doomscrolling more pervasive than ever. The discussion turns to the week's biggest controversy, Trump's dismissive remarks about Epstein questions and the DOJ memo claiming no client list or blackmail existed. Each host shares their perspective on whether this was strategic misdirection, a genuine blunder, or a necessary delay to avoid destabilizing the world economy before the midterms. They debate Pam Bondi's confusing statements, the expectations set by independent media, and why none of us truly know what's unfolding behind closed doors. Grounded in personal honesty, this episode argues that reclaiming your peace of mind may be just as important as exposing corruption.

In this marathon episode, Jon Herold and Burning Bright take listeners on a tour through the week's biggest, and most tangled, narratives. They start by dissecting the backlash over the DOJ's Epstein memo, exploring why Trump's irritated dismissal of Epstein questions wasn't just frustration but potentially a signal that the narrative was always overhyped by others. The conversation moves to the bombshell criminal referrals of John Brennan and James Comey over Russiagate misconduct, a development the hosts see as the starting domino in unraveling the Deep State's decade-long campaign against Trump. They connect the dots to Durham's report, Spygate, and why this legal front could finally break into public consciousness. Turning global, the discussion examines Trump's new tariffs, his hardline stance against BRICS countries, and the emerging Taiwan flashpoint as media and NATO leaders ramp up fear narratives about a China invasion. With reflections on semiconductor supply lines, rare earth minerals, and the economic pressure shaping geopolitics, the episode blends deep-dive research with candid skepticism. Whether debating psyops or the pace of justice, Jon and Burning Bright challenge listeners to question the timing, the incentives, and the stories shaping the battlefield.

In this marathon episode, Ghost unpacks the tangled narratives around Epstein's disappearance from the headlines. He traces the saga back to Robert Maxwell, laying out how British intelligence created Maxwell's empire to spy on the Soviets, then explores how Epstein and Ghislaine may have replicated that template as Mossad assets running a state-sponsored blackmail operation. Ghost plays fresh clips of Trump and Pam Bondi, dissecting their dismissive responses to Epstein questions and arguing this could be deliberate narrative bait to lull the real power brokers into complacency. The show then pivots to Netanyahu's White House visit, analyzing how Trump's public deference masks a deeper strategy of leverage. Ghost details the factions vying for power in Israel, Naftali Bennett, Benny Gantz, and Yair Lapid, and why Netanyahu's unpopularity ironically makes him easier for Trump to manipulate. From the long history of America arming Iran and Iraq to the Oslo Accords and the manufactured Iranian boogeyman, Ghost lays out how decades of foreign policy theater have locked the region in perpetual crisis. Packed with historical context and fresh analysis, this episode challenges conventional narratives about the Middle East and the real endgame behind today's headlines.

This includes 49 times under Republican presidents and 29 times under Democratic presidents. Some sources, like USA Today, suggest it has been raised at least 100 times since 1940, but the most commonly cited figure for the modern era (post-1960) is 78. Over the years, the debt ceiling has not been an effective mechanism for stopping waste and fraud in government spending. The debt ceiling is a legislative cap on the total amount of debt the U.S. government can incur, requiring Congressional approval to raise or extend it to allow continued borrowing for existing obligations, such as funding authorized programs, servicing debt, and meeting other financial commitments. Its primary function is to limit the government's borrowing capacity, not to regulate the quality, efficiency, or integrity of spending.Why the Debt Ceiling Doesn't Stop Waste and Fraud:  The debt ceiling addresses the aggregate level of federal debt, not specific budget items or program management. It does not inherently scrutinize or eliminate wasteful or fraudulent expenditures, which occur within the budgeting and execution of individual programs.   Debt ceiling debates often serve as political leverage for broader fiscal or policy negotiations (e.g., spending cuts or tax reforms). While these discussions may occasionally highlight waste or fraud rhetorically, the ceiling itself does not directly target or address such issues. For example, during debt ceiling negotiations in 2011 or 2023, the focus was on overall spending reductions or policy concessions, not specific anti-fraud measures.  Waste and fraud are typically addressed through other processes, such as: Audits by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or Inspectors General (IGs) within federal agencies.

Today, I'm diving into a fascinating article by Scott Zimmerman and Russel J. Reiter, titled Melatonin and the Optics of the Human Body, published in Melatonin Research (2019). This piece flips the script on what we thought we knew about melatonin, light, and how our bodies interact with the sun's rays. It's a game-changer, especially for how we think about kids' health in our modern, screen-filled indoor living world. First, what is melatonin? Melatonin is a hormone made from the essential amino acid, tryptophan. It was first isolated from a cow's pineal gland. It is an old molecule as primitive bacteria made melatonin probably 2.5 billion years ago. Its synthesis in bacteria and eukaryotes is a common linkage. Most of us know that melatonin is the “sleep hormone,” produced by the pineal gland in the brain when it gets dark at night, signaling to our bodies that it's time to wind down and prepare to sleep. It's the chemical expression of darkness, driving our circadian rhythms and helping us catch those precious brain cleansing moments. Zimmerman and Reiter argue that this is only half the story or maybe even less than half. For decades, research has hyper-focused on pineal melatonin that is regulated by visible light hitting our retinas. Blue visible spectrum light in the early morning suppresses pineal melatonin, which is why we should dim those screens before bed. But here's where it gets interesting, the pineal gland isn't the only place melatonin is made, and darkness isn't its only trigger. Our bodies are producing melatonin in ways we're just starting to understand, and it's tied to light in a way that was unexpected and evolutionarily fascinating.

Bryan Kohberger's legal team has filed a motion requesting that he be allowed to wear street clothes, rather than jail attire, at all public court hearings. His attorneys argue that appearing in civilian clothing is crucial to preserving the presumption of innocence and reducing potential prejudice, especially given the intense media scrutiny surrounding his case. The prosecution, however, opposes the motion, citing concerns over media influence and Kohberger's privileges during the pretrial phase. A decision from the judge is pending on this matter.Kohberger and his team will have their chance to make their case inside of the courtroom today, as he will appear for the first time in front of Judge Hippler.(commercial at 8:29)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger is slammed for new request to court: 'I want to look my best' | Daily Mail Onlinesource:092024-Motion-Defendant-Wear-Street-Clothing.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright are joined by Ghost for an electric episode exploring the accelerating unraveling of the mainstream narrative. They break down Candace Owens' shift against Trump, Thomas Massie's constitutional objections to Trump's Iran strike, and the establishment's collective meltdown over narrative control. The hosts highlight the changing public mood, from war fatigue to distrust in legacy media, while dissecting Trump's strategy of minimal, effective force and public messaging designed to expose media hypocrisy. Ghost brings the fire as they discuss the spiritual and psychological shift of the American people, pointing out how coordinated fear campaigns are collapsing under the weight of their own contradictions. They revisit key themes like controlled opposition, fifth-generation warfare, and the optics of regime change, tying them to the broader awakening playing out in real time. With a mix of humor, analysis, and righteous frustration, the crew challenges listeners to abandon black-and-white thinking and recognize the complex, often theatrical nature of global politics.

Quarter-bores like the 25-06 have spent their lives in the shadows of more popular cartridges. Cult followings of folks in the know have kept them alive — barely. Was not reaching their full potential the reason they never got to sit at the cool kid's table? Could spinning higher weight, higher BC bullets faster breathe new life into old classics — and birth new cartridges like the 25 Creedmoor? Are 25's the new sweet spot? Will they finally go to prom? Matt Pederson from Pederson Precision stops by to put a twist on several cartridges that might just be getting their due. As always, we want to hear your feedback!

This is because reconciliation bills are not subject to the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold, allowing passage with a majority vote.

We're all ears 2020–2021: Early Support and Ambivalence Musk's Position: Musk expressed mixed feelings. He acknowledged the credit's role in boosting EV adoption but suggested Tesla didn't rely on it. In 2021, he stated at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council Summit: “We don't need the $7,500 EV tax credit… I'm literally saying get rid of all subsidies, but also for oil and gas.” This reflected his belief that Tesla's manufacturing efficiency and market lead gave it an edge, even without subsidies. However, posts on X indicate Tesla lobbied for the credit's expansion during this period, suggesting some internal support for maintaining it to accelerate EV ...
