How do you eat an elephant? Well, you eat it in the same way as you learn to trade the forex market. I'm going to share details about how you can eat the elephant and learn to trade properly in this week's video and podcast. Let's get into it right now. Andrew Mitchem here, The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 636. We don't spend all day looking at charts. Outside on another beautiful winter's day here in Nelson in New Zealand. The beauty of trading, of course, is that you are not sitting looking at your charts all day. Learning how to trade properly. But the issue that people have is that they don't know how to start. And so I liken learning to trade as the same as the phrase that you may have heard, and that is how do you eat an elephant? You see, the way that you eat an elephant, not that you're going to, is 1 bite at a time. And learning to trade forex is exactly the same. You know, many people look at trading and they get overwhelmed with the information out there, you know, charts and indicators and news and not understanding risk management, psychology behind trading, all these things. And the mistake that I see so many people out there doing is they try to learn it all at once. The elephant is too big to eat at once. So the issue that you have to come back to when you're thinking of the elephant is the elephant's too big. So you can't do this all in 1 go. You have to understand what it is that you need to do in order to tackle that elephant, or in this case, the forex market. And you see what people end up doing is they jump from 1 strategy to another. They try to master everything straight away and they get information overload. They become frustrated and it just doesn't work. So going back to the 1 bite at a time, learn things piece by piece. Learn how the market moves. Break things down. Look at the price. You know how many people, how many of you out there watching or listening to this don't actually look at the price? I bet there's a lot of you. Understand risk management. Understand what things like support and resistance are. Understand the movement of different times of the day or the different currency pairs, how they react. Do they react to news announcements or not, or how do they correlate between each other? All these type of things break it down to eating or in this case, learning 1 thing at a time. Little and often is the fastest way to learn. Now consistency beats intensity, and what I mean by that is by doing little bits often, you will soon be amazed how you will soon pick up things. You know you can't go there eating this elephant in just 1 meal. You're not going to just keep taking 1 mouthful at a time and expect to eat the elephant. Likewise, you can't just sit there and cram all this information in like just in a few days and expect to become as good as someone that's been doing this for a long time. And right now, as an example, I'm, you know, trying to get better at singing, trying to get better at learning to play the guitar. So I'm doing regular lessons online, and I'm learning and doing little bits at a time, learning bar chords. So if you've ever played a guitar, you know how difficult bar chords are and what they mean on the fretboard. This is exactly the same. Learn a little bit, say 30 minutes a day when you can to learn these parts and things will soon start to come together. Don't compare yourself with an experienced trader. The other important thing is not to compare what you are doing and what you're learning with someone that's been doing this for a long time. You can't, for example, look at my trading knowledge and experience and expect to be at that level straight away because I've been doing this for like 21-plus years every day. And, you know, but when I started, you know, it was all new. When I started, there was nowhere near the help that there is today. So don't go out there comparing yourself with real traders or what you perceive online with the TikTokers and, you know, the barely-out-of-school type of people that have traded for a week and tell you how good they are. Whichever ones you're following, whether it's a real trader or, you know, getting conned into listening to those guys, you cannot compare yourself with someone that really knows what they're doing at the beginning. So put the time and the effort and consistency into that. You won't become a full-time trader by next week. And the other thing I'd say is don't worry about becoming a full-time trader tomorrow. It's not going to happen. Don't go giving up your job tomorrow. Don't expect to become a multi-millionaire tomorrow out of this, or even next week or even next year. You know, give yourself time to do this. It is not a race. If it's a race for you, you shouldn't be doing it. And if it's a race for you because you think it's going to solve all your life's financial problems, you probably shouldn't be doing it either. What you should do is treat this realistically, small bits at a time, learn the skill, master the skill, and over time look honestly, it is the best thing there is. But it takes time. It's like all these things I've mentioned to you many times I've done in my life. Flying a helicopter has probably been the best example. It is 1 of the best things I have ever done, but it takes time to get there. Otherwise it's going to go wrong. So take your time. Do this thing properly. It's a journey. It's not a race out there. The market is not going anywhere. Trading is not going anywhere. You have time to do this. You have time to put in to learn how to do this properly. Bradley's video testimonial. And I've just released a few new testimonials from clients, and 1 of them is from Bradley, who lives across in Perth in Western Australia, and he'd been trading for 8 years before he found us. And now, a year later, after he's joined us, he's doing so well. But have a look at videos like that and learn from people who are out there that have spent time doing the groundwork, doing the homework. And it works. So coming back to the elephant, can you eat the elephant? Yes. Can you tackle, as in like, you know, not literally, but, you know, can you learn to trade the forex market? Yes. Take it 1 bite-size piece at a time. Take it slowly. Be consistent, be realistic, and don't gorge yourself on information as in, don't try to learn everything like in a weekend and take your time. Ask questions. Seek help. It will work. Blueberry Markets as a Forex Broker. If you're out there looking for a really good forex broker, I can highly recommend Blueberry Markets over in Australia. But, you know, it doesn't matter where you live in the world. Most people who are trading forex, with the exception of a few countries like the US, etc., but pretty much everybody else can trade through Blueberry Markets. There's lots of brokers out there. I personally use other brokers as well as Blueberry Markets, but they are my preferred broker and it's where I have my main trading accounts. I think they're really good. They offer the MT4 and especially the MT5 platform. But 1 thing that stands them apart is not only their spreads and execution and withdrawal speed, it's the quality of their customer service. Outstanding people. Have a look at them if you're out there looking for a good broker. So once again, take your time. If you're out there learning to trade, don't jump onto every forum. Find someone to follow. Don't clutter your charts with millions of indicators and don't chop and change systems. Find someone out there that's got a proven system that's been around for years, that works across all markets, all time frame charts, and doesn't require you to sit in front of the charts all day long. Now, yes, when you're starting, put some time and effort into learning. But once you're doing it, get outside and enjoy the beautiful place that we live in. And, you know, trading takes care of itself. So hope it helps. This is Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach. I'll see you this time next week. Bye for now.

Bass Archaeology – Episode 17 Synopsis Episode 17 digs deep into the lineage of groove, connecting the raw, live energy of band-driven funk and soul through to hip-hop sampling culture, jazz, house, and modern bass led production. We open with the Bass Arch Grunge Band – “48 Years”, a stripped-back, live-rooted performance intro. From there, the episode moves into the golden age of soulful songwriting and session excellence. Lenny Kravitz – “It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over” delivers a masterclass in retro-funk construction, followed by Marvin Gaye – “Got to Give It Up”, where the infamous bassline and percussion groove capture the essence of late-night dancefloor improvisation and the birth of modern groove culture. The funk intensifies with The Gap Band – “Burn Rubber”, a synth-driven early-80s electro-funk statement, before sliding into the smoother, minimal perfection of “Outstanding”, where space becomes the instrument and the bassline does more with less than almost any record of its era. The journey shifts into 90s pop-funk and dance crossover energy with Michael Jackson – “Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough”, a track that bridges disco and modern pop with one of the most influential basslines in recorded music. From classic to contemporary, Cody Currie ft. MiK – “Cash” brings the jazz-house revival into focus, echoing vintage disco without directly sampling it, showing how modern producers are now playing the past rather than lifting it. The episode then moves into the DNA of hip-hop sampling culture with De La Soul – “Ring Ring Ring”, where layered funk and R&B records are rebuilt into something entirely new, followed by Naughty by Nature – “Hip Hop Hooray”, where soulful bass textures underpin one of hip-hop's most enduring crowd anthems. We return to pure musicianship with George Benson – “Give Me the Night”, a Quincy Jones-produced masterpiece where Louis Johnson's bass anchors a flawless fusion of jazz, disco and R&B sophistication. Closing the main journey, Ella Candeu – “Just Pretty” brings a modern banging bassline 303 palette, before the episode locks into the underground with Bass Arch DNB – “Rootsline Roll”, a breakbeat-driven finale that connects funk heritage to modern drum & bass pressure. Episode 17 is ultimately a study in continuity: how basslines evolve but never disappear. From live funk bands to synth-funk pioneers, from hip-hop sample collage to jazz-house reinterpretation, the low end remains the thread that ties every era together—always moving, always shaping the dancefloor.

In this episode of the Inventory Genius Podcast, I'm serving up a major wake-up call for product-based business owners: revenue does not equal profit. If you've ever had a record-breaking sales month but still feel completely broke, or if you're making major business decisions based on a gut feeling rather than actual data, this episode is for you. I break down the massive misconception that growing your top-line revenue automatically means scaling your business. In fact, without a clear picture of your numbers, a product business can easily sell itself right out of business due to skyrocketing fulfillment costs and hidden inventory drains. I share the exact four-bucket framework I use with my clients to strip the emotion out of finances, stop the reactive discounting, and give you the ultimate roadmap to smart cash flow. Key Takeaways Feelings Are Not a Financial Strategy: Making reactive decisions based on emotion leads to overstocking, undercharging, and unnecessary discounting. Data gives you the confidence to say yes or no to hires, ad spend, and wholesale inquiries. The Revenue Trap: Product businesses can easily grow themselves out of business if their cost of goods sold (COGS) is too high or if inventory is mismanaged. Your Secret Weapon: Gross margin is the single most overlooked and underutilized number in a product business, but it serves as the absolute backbone of a sustainable brand. The 4 Buckets of Numbers To make your data easy to digest, I break down your business metrics into four distinct categories: Revenue & Sales: Total sales, sales by revenue stream (e-commerce, wholesale, brick-and-mortar), average order value (AOV), and units per transaction (UPT). Profitability: Gross margin per product, total COGS (materials, packaging, labor), and net profit/loss. This is where vanity metrics end and true scaling begins. Inventory & Cash Flow: The value of inventory on hand, inventory turn (what's moving vs. sitting), and cash in versus cash out. Customer Metrics: New vs. returning customer ratios, email list growth, and store/website conversion rates. These allow you to accurately predict future revenue trends. Your Financial Hygiene Rhythm Different numbers require a different review process. I recommend establishing a dedicated routine—like our signature Money Mondays—to check in on your business health. The Weekly Checklist - Total revenue (this week vs. last week)- Units sold by product category or brand- Average order value (AOV)- New email subscribers or customer acquisition numbers- Cash balance in your dedicated inventory checking account- Outstanding invoices or bills due- Top-selling products- Ad spend vs. revenue generated from ads The Monthly Checklist - Total revenue vs. the prior month and the same month last year- Breakdown of revenue by specific revenue stream- Gross margin by your top 5 products or brands (be ruthless here!)- Total cost of goods sold (COGS) for the month- Full financial review (Profit & Loss statement and Balance Sheet)- New vs. returning customer ratios- Total marketing spend vs. total revenue generated Work with Me - https://www.ciarastockeland.com/work-with-meVisit the Bookstore - https://www.ciarastockeland.com/bookstoreSign Up for Free Weekly Tips and Trainings - https://www.ciarastockeland.com/subscribe More About the Episode Sponsor:Simply Lynn's Creative (https://simplylynnscreative.com/) - With real retail roots and 225+ brands served since 2018, Simply Lynn's Creative partners with retailers and product-based businesses on branding, Shopify website design, and Klaviyo email marketing.

CBSE OSM security flaw exposed; IIT-M steps in for system audit A young ethical hacker, Nisarga Adhikary, has uncovered a serious vulnerability in CBSE's new On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, part of its Digital India push. Developed by Hyderabad-based Coempt EduTeck Pvt Ltd, the platform was so poorly secured that unauthorized users could potentially access and alter scanned Class 12 answer sheets. Adhikary reported the flaw to CERT-In on February 25, 2026, but received only a generic acknowledgement and saw no corrective action for months. He eventually went public with the issue in a May 22 blog post, also highlighting institutional apathy. Amid growing concerns over glitches and weak access controls, a team from IIT Madras is now in Delhi conducting a third-party audit of the system. IIT-M director V. Kamakoti said the review will help identify what went wrong and guide fixes. Quad to mobilise $20 bn to strengthen critical minerals supply chain Countering China's tight grip on global supplies of critical minerals, Quad partners India, the US, Australia, and Japan have signed a framework to mobilise up to $20 billion to strengthen supply chains across mining, processing, and recycling. “The Quad partners intend to support the development of secure critical minerals supply chains, which are essential for advanced technologies, economic growth, and the resilience of our industrial bases,” a statement on the `Quad critical minerals initiative framework' issued by the MEA on Tuesday said. The four countries intend to work together to use economic policy tools and coordinated investment to accelerate the development of diversified and fair critical mineral markets and support the supply of critical minerals that are crucial to our region's economic growth and security, it added. The framework was finalised at the Quad Foreign Ministers' meeting in New Delhi hosted by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and attended by Foreign Minister of Australia Penny Wong, Foreign Minister of Japan Toshimitsu Motegi, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Airtel Priority sparks parliamentary scrutiny over net neutrality and equal access Amid a growing debate triggered by the launch of Airtel Priority post-paid plan, a Parliamentary panel on Tuesday asked the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to study the impact of 5G network slicing services in countries such as Singapore and the UK, while also examining whether the interests of India's largely prepaid mobile subscriber base are adequately protected. The Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology, headed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, also decided to call major digital and social media companies, including Meta, X, Google and Amazon, for discussions on net neutrality and preferential access practices. The meeting was convened to review “Quality of Service (QoS) Standards and Consumer Protection in Telecom Sector,” with a specific focus on net neutrality, reports Shishir Sinha. India's bank education loans record decade-high 15% jump to ₹8.58 lakh crore in FY26 Rising tuition fees, growing overseas education aspirations, and wider lender participation pushed education loans from banks to their sharpest annual growth in a decade in FY26. Outstanding education loans from banks rose nearly 15 per cent year-on-year to ₹8.58 lakh crore in FY26 from ₹7.46 lakh crore in FY25, according to data from Reserve Bank of India's latest bulletin. The loan book had contracted in FY22 and FY23 before recovering in the last two fiscals. Experts attributed the rise to increasing education costs, rupee depreciation, and a growing willingness among families to finance higher education through borrowings, writes Yashaswani Chauhan.

SHOW NOTES: The Outstanding Day: Turning Procrastination Into Progress This week on Encouragementology, we're reframing procrastination in a way that feels more honest, compassionate, and surprisingly hopeful. Instead of viewing unfinished tasks as proof that we're failing, we explore how procrastination is often tied to emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, fear, exhaustion, and the mental weight of carrying too many open loops at once. Through the idea of creating an “Outstanding Day,” we shift the focus from guilt and pressure to relief, momentum, and reclaiming mental space one small step at a time. If you've ever felt drained by the things you keep putting off, this episode offers a gentler and more realistic path forward. Here is what we unpack together: Why procrastination is often emotional, not just practical The hidden mental cost of unfinished tasks How avoidance quietly follows us into our downtime The connection between perfectionism and procrastination Why small tasks can sometimes feel emotionally overwhelming The idea behind creating an “Outstanding Day” How tiny actions create momentum and reduce mental clutter The difference between being lazy and being mentally depleted Why unfinished things keep running in the background of our minds How to approach yourself with more honesty and less criticism while making progress CHALLENGE: Create one “outstanding day” this week. Just one intentional day where you stop avoiding something that's been quietly taking up too much space in your mind. Pick one thing, however small, and face it honestly. Sometimes freedom comes from finally handling what's been following you around. I Know YOU Can Do It!

Send us Fan MailThe W.H. Ward family has grown and kept property in LaSalle Parish near Jena for almost a century. The men might have founded the company, but it was the women in later generations who elevated it into an extended family company with an annual meeting that has turned into a family reunion. Certainly there is a business meeting, but much the day is spent catching up and getting to know family. In 2025, the property, which is part of the American Tree Farm System, was selected Outstanding Louisiana Tree Farm. This is the family's story and stories of growing up learning to love the property as well as growing close to relatives. You can contact forester Joe Shively at joe.shively@smurfitwestrock.com.Minding the Forest is a podcast of the Louisiana Forestry Association and his hosted by LFA Media Specialist Jeff Zeringue.

Host Casey Harper is joined by professor and author, Carl Trueman, and The Washington Stand's Jared Bridges to talk about how modern culture has changed the way people see human life and what it means to be made in the image of God. Using ideas from his new book, Trueman explains the definition of desecration and how society has become more disconnected, or "disenchanted," which in turn has morphed our understanding of the image of God. They also discuss the rise of secular culture, the impact AI has had on human agency, and why Christians need to move from a culture that tears down what is sacred to one that restores it.

A @Christadelphians Video: **Ai Summary**[Inspiring] Have you ever wondered why modern Bibles sometimes differ—or even appear to miss out verses? In this thought-provoking and wonderfully expositional video, we tackle a subject rarely discussed among believers: **textual criticism**. This is the fifth instalment of our series on Bible versions, and we're diving into the vital difference between *textual criticism* and *higher criticism*.We begin by explaining why translators must care about which manuscript they use—because although God inspired the Scriptures, we still have to ask: which manuscript best preserves that inspired text? Then we reveal why many believers feel uneasy when they first hear the term “criticism.” That unease often comes from confusing textual criticism with **higher criticism**—a deeply flawed 19th‑century German movement rooted in anti‑Semitism, which denies inspiration and tears the Bible apart verse by verse.Higher criticism claims Isaiah was written by two authors (or more), that Daniel was composed after the events it prophesies, and that we cannot be sure Jesus even spoke the parables recorded in the Gospels. As Christadelphians, we reject that approach entirely. The New Testament itself quotes from both parts of Isaiah and calls Isaiah the prophet. We believe the Bible is inspired, harmonious, and trustworthy.This insightful presentation clarifies that **textual criticism is not higher criticism**. Instead, it is the careful, reverent work of comparing manuscripts to recover the most accurate wording of God's Word. Outstanding teaching like this equips you to understand why translations differ—without losing confidence in Scripture.**Chapters** 00:00 – Introduction 01:10 – What Is Textual Criticism? 02:19 – Why We Feel Uncomfortable 03:01 – The Problem of Multiple Manuscripts 04:26 – Higher Criticism Defined 05:00 – Origins and Anti‑Semitism 06:32 – Literary History vs Biblical Claims 07:25 – The “Second Isaiah” Theory 09:28 – Higher Criticism Rejects Prophecy 11:56 – New Testament Affirms One Isaiah 13:05 – Higher Criticism on Jesus' Parables 15:07 – The Jesus Seminar's Quest 17:22 – Assumed Contradictions in Acts and Paul 18:56 – Why Higher Criticism Fails 19:19 – Conclusion: Trusting the Inspired Text**Bible Verse Category**

Hear how finding success in the competition is helping Linda and others explore their passions in and outside of school with pride, purpose, and power. [MUSIC] Anthony Godfrey: We're here at Mountain Ridge High School to talk about the Miss Amazing Teen Pageant. Go ahead and introduce yourself and tell us about, tell us a little bit about why we're here. Teacher: Hello, I'm Alexis Sway. I'm one of the special education teachers at Mountain Ridge High School, and I get to work with Linda, who won the Miss Amazing Teen Utah Pageant this year, back in March. Anthony Godfrey: Linda, thank you for talking with us today. Tell us, what is the Miss Amazing Teen Pageant and how did you get involved? Linda: Miss Amazing is a wonderful program that helps girls build confidence. When I first got involved, I was so nervous, but at the same time, I was very excited to be part of it. Teacher Do you remember how you heard about the pageant? Linda: No, I never hear before. When my mom, she was with me doing a dub during a cheer, inclusive cheer. I hear about it is very, like, my first time to hear, so I'm dancing to do my passion and to link those ideas, to pass through my, my in progress to know my future, what is it? Anthony Godfrey: Tell us more about what your role was in helping support Linda in applying for this and being part of this competition. Teacher: Yeah, so we actually had a former student here at Mountain Ridge. Their family started Adaptive Arena in Bluffdale. It's an awesome facility where they provide sports, dance, and gymnastics opportunities for students and cheer with disabilities. That way they can be included in those opportunities, and it was through Adaptive Arena that Linda found out about the Miss Teen Pageant. And so we really just appreciate that parents reach out and share that information for us as teachers to share with our students and their families so they can know about these resources in the community. This year, when Linda came to school one day, and was telling us that she's going to be in this pageant, and she tells the dates when the competitions were coming up and what she was doing to prepare for it. We just got to cheer her on, and we're so stoked when she came back to school with her sash and tiara, saying that she won Miss Teen. Miss Amazing, right? Anthony Godfrey: You have the sash and tiara on now. Do you ever take it off? Linda: It depends on the place where I can take to use my crown and sometimes I tell some teacher if I can use my crown or some other place to have like a band or cultural evemt. I pull my crown and my sash to know everyone, to know about me, to follow me, and to know about more some people and to have fun. Teacher: Did you wear it at the lacrosse game this week? Linda: Yes, I put because from the last week it was my birthday on April 3rd, and the same time was on Lacrosse Day and then I saw a friend, she was doing lacrosse and I was hoping to. So she was like doing great, and her whole team did great, and then this time did like the girls gym, did it so well. I'm so proud of her. Anthony Godfrey: What was going through your mind when you were crowned Utah Miss Amazing Teen 2026? Linda: I couldn't believe it. I still think about the crown in my head all the time. It's made me so excited to use my title to do great things in my future. Anthony Godfrey: Now I've heard that you did a dance for the talent portion. Can you tell us about the dance that you performed for the talent competition? Linda: Yes, dancing is my passion. So it's a feel great. I perform a fun mix of ballet and hip hop all put together to music from the movie Tangle. Speaking of which, I have a hip hop performance today May 5th at my school auditorium. I would love to invite you and all your listeners to come and see it. Anthony Godfrey: That's fantastic. So you can do ballet and combine it with hip hop? Linda: Yes. Anthony Godfrey: I can't do either one of those things, much less do them together. So that's awesome. The Miss Amazing program, from what I understand, focuses on confidence, like you said, and self-advocacy. How has participating in the program helped you see yourself now and see yourself in the future. Linda: The program gives me a lot of confidence because of it. I believe in my future. I want to keep taking dance classes and focus on my passion for dancing one day. Anthony Godfrey: Wonderful. If there's one piece of advice you could give other students who are looking for the confidence to pursue their dreams, what would that be? Linda: My advice is that it doesn't matter what challenges you have. We are all different, but everyone deserves to be happy and go after their dreams. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about Linda in class. Teacher: Linda is very sweet and very motivated to be independent and work hard. She strives to be the best student that she can be. She puts her head down and gets right to work. She asks for help when she needs it. Becoming Miss Amazing Teen has given her the opportunity to have more confidence with advocating, too. That's something we've worked on a lot with Linda, is asking for help, not being afraid to ask teachers to use translation tools or for more clarification if she's not getting something. I've really seen that bloom this year with her advocating for herself. She works really hard, and she's very friendly. Anthony Godfrey: Tell us about what you teach here. Tell us about your job. Teacher: I'm one of our three self-contained support classroom teachers here at Mountain Ridge. Anthony Godfrey: For those who don't know what that is, describe that, please. Teacher: It's a special education class. It's students who have moderate to severe disabilities who need more time in a special education class. I have a unique position where I get to work with the students who can handle being fully mainstreamed into their classes, but they still need a home base and to have an aide or a peer tutor with them. I get to manage the peer tutors and the aides that work with the students and support them as their home base, helping them with emotional regulation and executive functioning skills. Anthony Godfrey: Describe how that peer tutor program works. Teacher: We have students. It's just open for any student. They can select it as an elective during arena scheduling. We do a training at the beginning of the year, and we definitely rely on spreading awareness and having peer tutors try and recruit friends that they think would be good peer tutors too. So they get to be paired up one-on-one with a student with disabilities and help them in their classes by staying on task and getting the academics done. Anthony Godfrey: It's an important program for everyone involved. Thank you for running that and teaching that. It's a great support to our students. Teacher: Thank you. I enjoy it. Anthony Godfrey: Stay with us when we come back. Linda teaches me some Samba dance moves and I do my best to learn them.

A @Christadelphians Video: *Ai Summary* [Inspiring] This thought-provoking and insightful exposition reveals why so many Bible translations exist, focusing on “challenging words” – rare terms that puzzled scholars for centuries.

Host Casey Harper is joined by Katy Talento to explore the idea of “rewilding our boys.” In today’s culture, young boys are often criticized for being too loud, too energetic, simply, too boyish. Katy emphasizes the importance of giving boys the freedom to play without constant restriction, allowing them to test their limits, take risks, and discover their own strength. The two also touch on the role women play in shaping boys’ environments, particularly in schools and daycares, where they are often the ones setting rules and boundaries.

All eyes are on the shifting political landscape of the state of Virginia. Although she ran as a moderate, newly elected governor, Abigail Spanberger, has proven to be more left leaning than she originally let on. Host Casey Harper is joined by FRC Action's Matt Carpenter and The Washington Stand's Mark Tapscott to discuss the political bait and switch happening with Virginia's newly elected governor. The three analyze the suggested state redistricting, potential policy outcomes, and the governor's very low polling numbers.

In this episode of Matt Likes Beer, the Philadelphia beer tour continues as Matt cracks open Peace Valley Pale Ale from Free Will Brewing. Sent along by Dave from NeoZaz as part of the ongoing “Philadelphia Month” series, this American Pale Ale sparks both a deep BJCP-style evaluation and a few personal memories along the way. Matt revisits his one and only trip to the brewery—part of a Philadelphia hockey weekend with friends—before diving into a full judging breakdown of the beer. Expect detailed notes on aroma, flavor, appearance, and mouthfeel, including bright fresh orange character, floral hop notes, bready malt, and a firm bitterness that pushes the pale ale toward IPA territory. Along the way, Matt also reflects on the role of pale ales as a brewer's benchmark style, shares stories about fundraiser beers and collaborative brewing projects, and explains why a great pale ale can tell you everything you need to know about a brewery. The verdict? A standout beer scoring 46/50—Outstanding on the BJCP scale and tying for the highest score Matt has given this year. Grab a pint and join the tasting.

Nigerian Christians are being targeted and killed -- and their government is doing nothing about it. Host Casey Harper is joined by Nigerian native and founder of Stefanos Foundation, Mark Lipdo, and Family Research Council’s Arielle Del Turco to shed light on the brutal persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

Mark shares his story, explaining why he founded the Stefanos Foundation and what life is like for Christians in Nigeria. With jihadists being the main aggressors towards Christians, the three address the very real and dangerous reality for Christians in Nigeria and what America can do to help end the violence.
