Podcasts about Pain

Lisa has lived with chronic pain and MS for years—and had nearly lost hope for her future. In this live mind-body healing session, Brandy works with her to uncover what was really keeping her nervous system locked in pain. As Lisa makes a powerful internal shift, her pain drops from an 8 to nearly gone—and something even bigger shifts: her sense of what's possible for her life. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn't come from forcing positivity… it comes from real transformation. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

On this episode of Anchored by the Sword, I'm so excited to introduce you to Debora Coty—speaker, author, and the voice behind the beloved Too Blessed to Be Stressed series that has sold over 2 million copies worldwide.Debora shares her powerful story of stepping into writing later in life, obeying God's nudge in unexpected seasons, and how humor, Scripture, and honesty became tools God used to bring healing—not just to others, but to her own heart.We talk about what it looks like to follow God through deep loss, unanswered prayers, depression, and reluctant obedience—and how God's presence meets us even when joy feels impossible.Debora also opens up about her newest devotional, Bless Your Heart, the meaning behind the title, and how knowing the names and character of God carried her through grief, trauma, and heartbreak and how it can do the same for you!Highlighted TakeawaysYou are never “too late” to step into God's calling—obedience matters more than timingGod's presence, not answers, is what sustains us through painResisting “snark bait” and choosing kindness reflects Christ more than retaliationScripture has the power to soften hardened hearts and restore hopeThis conversation is full of wisdom, hope, laughter, and reminders that God is near—even when life feels overwhelming.Bio:Debora M. Coty is an events speaker, columnist, certified writing coach, and award-winning author of more than 40 inspirational books, including the bestselling Too Blessed to be Stressed series, with more than 2 million books sold in multiple languages worldwide.

Pain becomes unbearable when it feels pointless. In this episode, we explore why clarity of purpose changes how we experience hardship. When pain is tied to growth, preparation, or calling, it stops feeling like punishment and starts becoming process. Purpose doesn't remove pain—but it makes it survivable.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251226dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2 He Has Spoken by His Son When people want to know God’s will, they often search for a voice. Some look for signs in nature, others for whispers in their hearts. Some chase after visions or dramatic experiences. But the writer to the Hebrews reminds us that we don't need to guess where God speaks. We already have his clear Word. Long ago, God spoke through prophets like Moses and Isaiah. Their words were true, and they pointed forward to something greater. All those voices prepared the way for the day when God would speak through his Son. And that day has come. In Jesus, God has spoken once for all. Do you want to know how God feels about you? Look at his Son. See Jesus reaching out to touch the untouchable leper. Hear his voice calming the fearful. Watch him carrying your sins to the cross. Listen as he cries out, “It is finished!” That is God's message to you. No uncertainty. No guesswork. God loves you, forgives you, and calls you his child. Notice also how Jesus is described. He is the heir of all things, the One through whom the universe was made. This is no ordinary messenger. When he speaks, it is not merely advice or suggestion. It is the voice of the eternal Son of God. And that means you can trust his promises with complete confidence. So, when doubts arise, when your heart longs for assurance, you don't need to wait for a special sign from heaven. You already have the greatest sign: God has spoken by his Son. Open the Scriptures. Hear him there. His Word is living and active, still speaking forgiveness and peace into your life today. Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are the final and full Word of God. When I am tempted to look elsewhere for assurance, turn me back to you. Let me rest in your promises, for in you I hear God's love loud and clear. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Anorexia does not disappear with age, and midlife is often when its deeper pain becomes impossible to ignore. In this solo episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores why anorexia can resurface or intensify in midlife, especially when long-standing coping strategies stop working and the nervous system reaches its limits. This conversation names what so many people experience quietly: hormonal shifts, burnout, identity changes, and unprocessed trauma colliding with a culture that continues to demand shrinking, control, and silence. Dr. Marianne unpacks how perimenopause, menopause, chronic stress, and cumulative life demands can destabilize eating patterns that once felt manageable. She explains why restriction is not about willpower or vanity, but about protection, regulation, and survival, particularly for those who have lived for decades navigating pressure, responsibility, and internalized expectations. The episode also explores how midlife can awaken old wounds related to body, gender, sexuality, safety, and belonging, making anorexia feel like a familiar refuge during times of upheaval. This episode centers the emotional logic of midlife anorexia and highlights how neurodivergence, sensory processing differences, and reduced masking capacity can further complicate eating and recovery later in life. Dr. Marianne offers a compassionate reframe of what healing can look like in midlife, emphasizing nervous system support, steadiness over control, truth-telling, and sustainable care rather than rigid recovery ideals. Listeners will hear a vision of recovery that does not ask people to go back to who they were, but instead supports becoming someone who no longer needs old coping strategies to feel safe. This episode speaks directly to adults navigating long-term or chronic anorexia, relapse in midlife, and the quiet grief that can surface during major life transitions. It is also a vital listen for providers seeking a more humane, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming understanding of eating disorders across the lifespan. Dr. Marianne closes by reminding listeners that midlife can be a turning point not because of force or discipline, but because deeper understanding becomes possible. Recovery at this stage can mean honoring the body's needs, allowing rest, naming pain that was carried alone, and receiving support that fits one's lived experience. If this episode resonated, you are invited to explore therapy with Dr. Marianne Miller, who offers specialized support for people navigating anorexia, chronic restriction, ARFID, and eating disorders shaped by trauma and neurodivergence.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251225dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 Give Glory to God How do you know what God is really like? Some imagine him as distant, powerful but far removed from daily life. Others picture him as a stern judge, always ready to condemn. Still others think of him as a vague spiritual force, too abstract to know personally. But John tells us something remarkable: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” The eternal Son of God didn't stay far away. He didn’t just send messages through prophets or appear in visions. He came down to live with us, fully human, yet still fully God. That changes everything. In Jesus, we see exactly what God is like. He is not cold or distant. He is not waiting for us to climb up to him. Instead, he comes down to us. He steps into our weakness, our suffering, even our death. He takes on flesh so that he can carry our sins to the cross and give us his righteousness in return. John says we have seen his glory. But notice how that glory shines. It is not in earthly splendor or political power, but in humble service, in compassion for the broken, in sacrifice for sinners. The manger, the cross, and the empty tomb reveal God's glory most clearly. There, we see a God full of grace and truth. Grace, because in Jesus, we receive forgiveness we could never earn. Truth, because in Jesus, we see God's faithfulness to every promise. This means you don’t have to wonder whether God loves you. You don’t need to search for hidden signs of his presence. The Word became flesh. He lived among us. He still comes to us today through his Word and sacraments. And he will dwell with us forever in heaven. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for becoming flesh and making your dwelling among us. Help me to see your glory in your life, death, and resurrection. Fill me with confidence in your grace and truth.

LESSON 359God's Answer Is Some Form Of Peace. All Pain Is Healed;All Misery Replaced With Joy. All Prison Doors Are OpenedAnd All Sin Is Understood As Merely A Mistake.Father, today we will forgive Your world, and let creation be Your Own. We have misunderstood all things. But we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. What You created sinless so abides forever and forever. Such are we. And we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. Sin is impossible, and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a certain base more solid than the shadow world we see. Help us forgive, for we would be redeemed. Help us forgive, for we would be at peace.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions In this enlightening episode, we welcome special guest Luke Thompson, who has a diverse background as a philosophy professor, pastor, author, and theology professor. Luke shares his insights on existential questions, particularly focusing on how different worldviews interpret pain and suffering. He delves into the perspectives of renowned philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Friedrich Nietzsche, contrasting them with Christian viewpoints, especially those of St. Augustine and the biblical book Ecclesiastes. Through an engaging dialogue, Luke discusses the significance of having a meta-narrative and the implications of living with or without transcendent meaning. This conversation promises to provide profound reflections for anyone grappling with chronic pain, existential questions, or the search for purpose in life.With on YouTube Here00:00 Introduction to Our Special Guest: Luke Thompson00:42 Understanding Fibromyalgia: A Chronic Pain Condition01:26 Exploring Different Spiritual Paradigms01:47 Existence vs. Essence: Sartre and Augustine05:15 The Meaning of Pain and Suffering07:54 The Concept of Metanarrative12:57 Solomon's Wisdom: Everything is Meaningless17:37 Nietzsche's Madman Parable: God is Dead22:59 Short-Term vs. Cosmic Meaning28:47 The Source of Human Value30:17 The Role of Curiosity in Science32:45 Understanding Pain and Suffering35:24 Finding Meaning in Life's Pleasures38:21 The Christian Metanarrative47:08 The Importance of a Metanarrative50:36 The Impact of Losing a Metanarrative55:03 The Deeper Why Questions01:00:13 Final Thoughts and Reflections Click here for the YouTube channel International Conference on ADHD in November 2025 where Dr. Lenz will be one of the speakers.

The Mindset Debrief: Gaining perspective on what hits you hard and not making it your identityPain has a way of hanging around longer than it should. Not because you want it to, but because it keeps offering itself as protection. One hard hit turns into a default posture. You start bracing early. You assume the worst faster. You call it boundaries, but it can turn into walls. You call it self-awareness, but it can turn into a script that plays before anything even happens.In this episode, we're looking at the difference between pain as a teacher and pain as an identity. Pain can sharpen judgment, clarify what you value, and show you what you won't tolerate again. But if it isn't processed, it doesn't stay in its corner. It leaks into how you speak, how you trust, how you handle stress, and how people experience you in a room. It can start to feel like control, even when it's costing you more than it's protecting you.This episode offers specifics about what it looks like when pain becomes personality, and what changes when pain becomes perspective. Perspective doesn't erase what happened. It organizes it. It puts the experience in the right place so it can inform decisions without running them. You'll hear the shift in the questions too. Not “What did this do to me,” but “What did this teach me.” Not “How do I make sure this never happens again,” but “How do I move forward without carrying this into everything.”Information is also presented regarding personal responsibility without pretending pain didn't matter. Explanation isn't exemption. At some point, what happened to you can't be the reason you stop working on yourself. We'll talk about how processed pain sounds different than unprocessed pain, how absolutist thinking narrows the future, and why maturity often looks like catching old reactions before they become default.If you've felt yourself tightening up, getting more guarded, or living like your hardest chapter is the whole book, this episode is built for that moment.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15

Explore a complex case of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, double crush, & triple crush injuries. Learn about diagnosis, treatment, & patient support. Q: Overview of Neck, Nerve, or Both? A: My wife experienced numbness in her upper extremities. As an athletic trainer (AT), I initially suspected Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). She eventually sought medical attention and was diagnosed with TOS. Conservative treatment, including medication and a home exercise program, was recommended. However, therapy seemed to worsen her symptoms. An MRI of the vascular system came back normal, except for a benign thyroid mass. A cervical MRI revealed stenosis in C5, C6, and C7, which, when combined with her other symptoms, provided clarity. I consulted a spine surgeon, who advised exhausting conservative options before considering surgery for insurance coverage. My wife, who has a fear of anesthesia, opted for pain management and received injections. An EMG to rule out carpal tunnel syndrome indicated 70% carpal tunnel involvement. An upper extremity specialist diagnosed a double crush injury, meaning nerve compression at two sites. She underwent left-side carpal and cubital tunnel release, followed by a two-level cervical fusion. Post-surgery, she regained sensation in her pinkies. The right side was subsequently treated. She experienced relief for about a year before numbness recurred. Another round of CT, MRI, and EMG scans returned normal. Pain management suggested a shoulder issue, leading to an MRI of the shoulder. While the report mentioned a slight rotator cuff tear, a physician who reviewed the scans deemed her shoulder pristine. This doctor’s examination of her neck, however, exacerbated her symptoms, leading to a diagnosis of lower brachial plexus TOS. Despite my initial concern about the previous treatments, the doctor affirmed that the cervical fusion was necessary. A C8 nerve block did not provide relief but offered further diagnostic information. We were then referred to a specialist in Dallas, where a diagnostic nerve block in the scalenes provided immediate relief. Months later, Botox injections were administered for extended relief. The doctor’s words, “How does it feel to not be crazy?” significantly validated her experience. She then underwent a first rib removal on the left side, which resulted in an 11-day hospital stay with complications including two chest tubes, a needle aspiration, and 100cc of fluid in the pleural cavity. Upon returning home, she began physical therapy but developed shortness of breath with deep breaths due to a costochondral fracture, likely from the chest tube or aspiration. She is currently awaiting a consultation for ultrasound injections to address this. The journey continues. Q: What inspired you to share this story? A: The primary motivation was to share the complex journey and its takeaways. This case involved a “triple crush” — compression at the first rib, cubital tunnel, and carpal tunnel. A key takeaway is the importance of acknowledging when you “don’t know, but know the next step.” In healthcare, we often focus on obvious issues, but a broader perspective is often needed before returning to specific concerns. It’s also crucial to acknowledge the psychological toll on patients without answers, highlighting the profound impact of chronic pain. Q: You mentioned how emotionally draining the journey was. What advice do you have for clinicians to support patients? A: Remind patients that recovery is an “ultramarathon, not a sprint.” Reinforce this message, as other healthcare professionals will likely echo it. Sometimes, when my wife is in pain, she doesn’t want to discuss it, and that’s acceptable as long as I am there to support her. The doctor’s validation, “How’s it feel to not be crazy?” significantly improved her emotional well-being. Supporting patients in seeking further opinions is also vital. Q: Overlapping issue on a personal level, how did you navigate the multiple diagnoses? A: My ability to navigate this well stems from my access to top medical professionals through my profession. My connections as an athletic trainer allowed me to consult doctors and seek referrals. While they may not know specific TOS treatments, they can guide us to the appropriate specialists. Q: Any difficulties separating the Athletic Trainer (AT) role from the husband role? A: There were no difficulties in separating the AT from the husband role. My wife knew me as both from the beginning of our relationship, so there was no separation or conflict.

When Josh Melching returned home from war, the battle didn't end.The symptoms of PTSD slowly began to surface. In a very short amount of time, Josh lost some of the closest people in the world to him. Trying to numb the pain, he turned to alcohol, a path that eventually led to serious trouble with the law.Rock bottom came fast.What changed everything wasn't a shortcut or an escape. It was working with his hands. Josh found an outlet in woodworking. What began as a way to quiet his mind became his purpose.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20251224dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:8-12 A Savior Has Been Born to You The shepherds weren’t expecting anything that night. They were just doing their jobs. They watched their flocks, kept predators away, and tried to stay warm in the darkness. Then suddenly, the night sky blazed with God’s glory, and an angel stood before them. Terror filled their hearts. Who could stand in the presence of God’s holiness? But the first words they heard were not words of judgment. They were words of comfort: “Do not be afraid.” Why not? Because God had not come to condemn. He had come to save. “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you.” Notice the angel’s message. This Savior is for you. Not just for kings or priests. Not just for the powerful or important. For shepherds, for sinners, for all people. And the sign? Not a mighty warrior or dazzling throne, but a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. God’s Son came in humility so that no one would be too lowly to approach him. On this holy night, the same message comes to you: Do not be afraid. Whatever guilt weighs on your conscience, whatever darkness troubles your heart, your Savior has been born. Rejoice! The good news of great joy is for you. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for coming into this world for me. Drive away my fears and fill my heart with your peace and joy this Christmas Eve. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

In this conversation, I speak with psychotherapist and sexologist Suzannah Weiss about women's sexual health, the challenges we face, and why it's so important for us to advocate for our own needs. We discuss her book Eve's Blessing, which explores how pain has been normalised in women's lives and why healthcare systems need to respond more effectively. We also talk about empowerment, objectification, and the vital role of consent, especially in the context of sexual assault. Together, we explore how women can navigate their sexuality post‑menopause and the importance of finding healthcare providers who truly support us.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Sex Advice for Seniors01:21 Eve's Blessing: Women's Sexual Health and Pain05:30 The Importance of Healthcare in Women's Sexuality10:11 Subjectified: Empowerment and Objectification17:29 Healing Through Narrative: Sexual Assault and Consent23:05 Navigating Sexuality Post-Menopause26:45 Conclusion and Resourceswww.suzannahweiss.comhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1549106https://www.amazon.com/Eves-Blessing-Uncovering-Pleasure-Behind/dp/1509566171/https://www.amazon.com/Subjectified-Becoming-Subject-Suzannah-Weiss/dp/150956019XUnlock even more pleasure, clarity, and confidence in your intimate life by becoming a paid subscriber.

In this solo episode of 'Champ Talk with Branden Hudson', Branden candidly discusses his tumultuous past as a marijuana dealer, sharing stories of survival, loss, and the emotional toll of living a life in the drug game. Branden recounts experiences of nearly getting robbed, losing friends to violence, and the enduring guilt that comes with such a lifestyle. He emphasizes the importance of self-worth, the dangers of enabling harmful behaviors, and the vital need for an exit strategy for those still involved in illicit activities. Through his raw storytelling, Branden hopes to provide perspective and guidance for anyone considering or currently living a similar lifestyle, advocating for positivity and legal avenues to build a rewarding life. He also reflects on his gratitude for having made it out alive and his commitment to helping others through combat sports and personal development.00:00 Introduction and Technical Difficulties00:47 Thanksgiving Reflections02:08 Reconnecting with Old Friends02:53 Life in the Game: Marijuana Dealing05:16 A Dangerous Encounter14:12 The Harsh Realities of the Game15:03 The Cost of the Game: A Friend's Tragic End20:53 Unseen Dangers and Betrayals21:55 The Menace of Omar23:07 The Harsh Realities of Drug Dealing23:33 Struggles and Family Responsibilities27:01 The Pain of Losing a Friend28:35 The Path to Redemption34:25 Advice for Those in the Game40:36 The Importance of Self-Worth42:35 Gratitude and Moving Forward

Welcome to this special holiday episode as we approach the end of 2025. As the year draws to a close, many of us find ourselves reflecting on what we've been working through - both personally and professionally. Today, we explore a profound question that I have been working with this year: What is the difference between pain and suffering in meditation? Pain is the raw, unavoidable sensation - physical or emotional. Suffering, however, sometimes called the "second arrow": the mental resistance, stories, and bracing we add on top of pain. Meditation isn't about erasing pain; it's about letting go of the resistance to it. This insight is especially relevant during stressful times, whether it's a tight deadline at work or the anxiety before a big presentation. By practicing "Recognizing the narrative our minds create" we can learn to pause, notice these stories we're telling ourselves, and learn to sit with any sensations that present - without adding layers of judgment or worry. This time of year can be challenging for many, and I want to Honour that. In this episode, we revisit a heartfelt conversation from Christmas Day 2022 with the late, much-loved Ralph De La Rosa. Ralph's wisdom continues to resonate, offering comfort and insight to those navigating grief and difficulty, especially during the holidays. Together, we'll delve into the realities of grief, seasonal depression, and the lingering effects of what many are calling the poly crises happening around the world.  In the conversation we share personal stories and perspectives on the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions, rather than pushing them aside. Ww discuss the toll of living in survival mode, the value of wellness practices, and the power of mindfulness and meditation practices in being able to see when our mind is adding extra suffering. The episode finishes with a short practice offered by Ralph designed to help you find and access inner space and connection, leaving you with practical tools to carry forward into challenging times. Whether you're tuning in during a moment of celebration or reflection, I hope this episode offers you comfort, clarity, and actionable wisdom. May you be Happy, May You Be Well, May you be Safe and May you live with Ease.   00:00 Introduction and Seasonal Struggles   00:11 Grief and Cultural Shifts   01:03 The Reflex of Isolation   01:34 Collective Exhaustion and Survival Mode   04:57 Facing Difficulties and Finding Compassion   09:37 The Importance of Making Space   12:20 Presence and Active Receptivity   17:27 Guided Meditation Practice   28:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Another third are expanding, including Florida and Utah, based on payrolls, employment, and other key economic data. This graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Dorothy Neufeld, shows recession risk by state in 2025, based on analysis from Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics.

In Maine, for instance, year-over-year GDP growth is just 0.8% as of Q2 2025, compared to the U.S. average of 2.1%. Meanwhile, Washington, D.C.'s unemployment rate was 6.4% in July, significantly higher than the 4.6% U.S. average given sweeping federal cuts. According to Zandi's analysis, New York and California are “Treading Water”, together responsible for driving over 22% of U.S. GDP. In comparison, Texas, which fuels 9.4% of U.S. economic growth is expanding. Unemployment rates of 4.0% in July remain below the U.S. average. Additionally, the Texas economy is growing faster than the nation, while income growth rose 6.3% annually as of Q2 2025, outpacing the national average.   Source: zerohedge.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); https://twitter.com/unseen1_unseen/status/2003254895143461092?s=20   caused by falling home prices while increasing the affordability of homes. Home builders aren’t going to build more homes if they are losing money. Trump can’t force them to build homes. This is where thinking outside the box comes in play and things like the 50 year mortgage, interest rate cuts, lower down-payments, salt taxes etc get proposed. With deportations and the decline of the boomer generation from old age, supply will be increasing. Prices will come down. The trick is not to allow them to go into a free fall and keep demand high enough to soak up a great deal of that supply. Trump’s proposed $2,000 tariff rebate checks depend on Congress   President Donald Trump needs Congress to take action to make good on a proposal to send some Americans $2,000 tariff rebate checks next year. Director of the National Economic Council Kevin Hassett said the U.S. House and Senate will need to take up the matter. “I would expect that in the new year, the president will bring forth a proposal to Congress to make that happen,” Hassett said on “Face the Nation” on Sunday. Details about Trump’s tariff rebate proposal remain sparse. Trump has said he wants to issue the rebate checks and use the rest of the tariff revenue to pay down the nation’s $38 trillion debt, even as the U.S. Supreme Court has not yet determined whether he has the authority to impose tariffs.

Nowadays, when there is good news, the Market goes down, because everybody thinks that Interest Rates will be immediately lifted to take care of “potential” Inflation. That means that, essentially, we can never have a Great Market again, those Markets from the time when our Nation was building up, and becoming great. Strong Markets, even phenomenal Markets, don't cause Inflation, stupidity does! I want my new Fed Chairman to lower Interest Rates if the Market is doing well, not destroy the Market for no reason whatsoever. I want to have a Market the likes of which we haven't had in many decades, a Market that goes up on good news, and down on bad news, the way it should be, and the way it was. Inflation will take care of itself and, if it doesn't, we can always raise Rates at the appropriate time — But the appropriate time is not to kill Rallies, which could lift our Nation by 10, 15, and even 20 GDP points in a year — and maybe even more than that! A Nation can never be Economically GREAT if “eggheads” are allowed to do everything within their power to destroy the upward slope. We are going to be encouraging the Good Market to get better, rather than make it impossible for it to do so. We are going to see numbers that are far more natural, and far better, than they have ever been before. We are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The video – which was revealed to be computer-generated – is timestamped August 10, 2019 at 4:29 am ET – Epstein was found dead at 6:30 am ET on August 10, 2019. Prosecutors previously said that the two CCTV cameras positioned outside of Epstein's cell had malfunctioned. The 10-second recreation video shows Epstein sitting on the floor of his cell attempting to kill himself.

Epstein told prison staff he didn't remember what happened but was afraid to return to the Special Housing Unit, saying it was “where he had gotten marks on his neck and he does not know why it happened.” He said he had only slept 30 minutes a night for five days due to noise and stress. His cellmate, ex-cop Nicholas Tartaglione, had reportedly been harassing him, and Epstein claimed “he tried to kill me.” Staff noted Tartaglione had been aggressive and was seen mocking Epstein with a string around his neck.

The email references attempts to contact Brunel (modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who later died in prison), Maxwell (Ghislaine, now serving 20 years), and mentions “Ohio contacting Wexner.” Les Wexner is the billionaire L Brands founder who gave Epstein his $77 million NYC mansion and served as his primary financial benefactor for years. A separate confidential document from law firm Debevoise & Plimpton lists SDNY matters they appeared in, including one entry: “Wexner: Epstein investigation.” 10 co-conspirators. Only Maxwell was ever charged.

And they can't get it. At one point, frustration boils over into honesty: “The FBI is completely fucking us on this.” That's not a tweet. That's an internal DOJ message. Translation: the prosecutors responsible for bringing cases did not have a clear, reliable accounting of the evidence in the FBI's possession. Not what was seized. Not what was imaged. Not what was searchable. Not what was missing. This isn't incompetence in a vacuum. It's structural. Evidence control is power. Whoever controls the data controls the pace, the scope, and the fallout. And remember: Epstein died before trial. Maxwell was prosecuted narrowly. No broader conspiracy case ever materialized. Prediction: this is why. Not because the evidence didn't exist- but because it never cohered into something prosecutors could safely touch without detonating their own case. The scandal isn't just who was on the tapes. It's that even the feds couldn't tell you where the tapes went. That's not a cover-up movie plot. That's a system quietly eating itself. https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/2003457025695719784?s=20  and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 Election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.” New: More Epstein Files Drop, and Donald Trump Appears to Be the Star This Time Around So, what incriminating evidence against President Trump is to be found in this latest drop? Apparently, an email from January 2020 in which a federal prosecutor from New York – of course – to an “undisclosed person” claiming Trump had flown on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plan at least eight times during the 1990s, and one time there was a 20-year-old woman on the flight.  Here’s more: The email, which was sent in January 2020 from a federal prosecutor in New York to an undisclosed person, says, “For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a [Ghislaine] Maxwell case.”  This big revelation is that Trump traveled a few more times than we previously knew, although this was during a time period that the president has already acknowledged having had an association with Epstein. Note the timing of the email – January 2020 is when the presidential election would be kicking into full swing. This anonymous federal prosecutor clearly thought they had a gotcha moment, but there’s a pesky little detail that puts things in perspective: “[Trump] is listed as having traveled with, among others and at various times, Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric.”  Source: redstate.com The specific document you’re referring to appears to be the complaint filed in the 2020 civil lawsuit Doe v. Indyke et al. (Case No. 1:20-cv-00484, S.D.N.Y.), which was part of the recently released Epstein files by the U.S. Department of Justice.  This lawsuit was brought by an anonymous plaintiff (“Jane Doe”) against the executors of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate (Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn) and Ghislaine Maxwell, seeking compensation for alleged sexual abuse and trafficking by Epstein.How Trump’s Name Appears in the DocumentOn page 4 of the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that during one of her encounters with Epstein (around the 1990s), he took her to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida when she was 14 years old. Epstein reportedly introduced her to Donald Trump (then the owner of Mar-a-Lago), elbowed him playfully, and asked, referring to the girl, “This is a good one, right?” Trump is described as smiling and nodding in agreement, after which they both chuckled. The plaintiff states she felt uncomfortable but was too young to understand why at the time. The document does not accuse Trump of any criminal wrongdoing or involvement in Epstein’s abuse; it frames this as part of the broader context of her grooming and exploitation by Epstein.How the Name Got Into the DocumentTrump’s name was included as part of the plaintiff’s personal allegations detailing her experiences with Epstein. The complaint is a legal filing where the victim recounts specific incidents to support her claims against Epstein’s estate and associates. It reflects her firsthand account, not a court-verified fact or evidence from other sources.  There is no mention of independent corroboration (e.g., witnesses, photos, or records) in the filing itself, and it has not been adjudicated in court as true.Source of the AllegationThe source is the anonymous plaintiff (“Jane Doe”), who claims to be a victim of Epstein’s abuse starting from age 13 or 14.  She was reportedly recruited at a summer camp in Michigan and alleges ongoing grooming and assaults by Epstein over several years. This Doe is distinct from other known accusers like Virginia Giuffre, though a similar incident (Epstein introducing a 14-year-old to Trump at Mar-a-Lago without the “good one” comment) was testified to by another accuser (“Jane”) during Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 criminal trial.  https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2003236602374713557?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/BreannaMorello/status/2003196698974191914?s=20   that are protected under the Constitution. Under D.C. law, anyone wishing to own a firearm must register it with the MPD. However, the D.C. Code imposes a sweeping ban on the registration—and thus the legal possession—of a wide range of firearms. This broad prohibition, the Justice Department argues, infringes on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens who seek to keep and bear commonly owned firearms for lawful purposes. Trump's DOJ Sues Washington, D.C. Police Department Over Unconstitutional Ban on Semi-Automatic Firearms The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against the District of Columbia's Metropolitan Police Department for enforcing a ban on semi-automatic firearms in violation of the Second Amendment. The lawsuit alleges that D.C.'s gun laws require registration of all firearms with the MPD; however, the D.C. Code imposes a sweeping ban on numerous protected weapons, making it legally impossible for residents to own them for self-defense or other lawful purposes. The DOJ said in a press release announcing the lawsuit: “MPD's current pattern and practice of refusing to register protected firearms is forcing residents to sue to protect their rights and to risk facing wrongful arrest for lawfully possessing protected firearms.” “Today's action from the Department of Justice's new Second Amendment Section underscores our ironclad commitment to protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. Bondi continued, “Washington, DC's ban on some of America's most popular firearms is an unconstitutional infringement on the Second Amendment — living in our nation's capital should not preclude law-abiding citizens from exercising their fundamental constitutional right to keep and bear arms.” Echoing this sentiment, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division added, “This Civil Rights Division will defend American citizens from unconstitutional restrictions of commonly used firearms, in violation of their Second Amendment rights. The newly established Second Amendment Section filed this lawsuit to ensure that the very rights D.C. resident Mr. Heller secured 17 years ago are enforced today — and that all law-abiding citizens seeking to own protected firearms for lawful purposes may do so.” The case draws directly from the landmark 2008 Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, where the Court affirmed that the Second Amendment protects the right of law-abiding citizens to own semi-automatic weapons in their homes for self-defense.

However, precision air strikes on cartel assets seems like a probable outcome. Trump is neutralizing Deep State assets around the globe, and South/Central American drug cartels are assets of the Deep State. They are transnational criminal organizations responsible for the drug, weapon, and human trafficking of the Western hemisphere, and their racket feeds the Deep State machine. My guess is, that cartel drug factories and assets are going to get smoked by the US MIL via precision air strikes, and the other powerful leaders of the world have already agreed to some sort of deal with Trump and no one will interfere. Just like Iran and Syria. I think most of the leaders/nations of the world agree with Trump that these transnational criminal organizations must be eradicated, and stability must be brought to the world. President Unveils ‘Trump Class’ Of Warships, Huntington Ingalls Shares Jump    build two new “Trump-class” battleships, to acquire 20-25 of these ships in the coming years.   In his address, the President noted these 30,000-40,000 ton ships will carry a large quantity of missiles, including hypersonic missiles, and will also be outfitted with electromagnetic rail guns and directed energy lasers. Trump-class battleships will also carry nuclear-armed sea launched cruise missiles (currently under development) adding an additional element of nuclear deterrence to the Navy. Trump-class destroyers appear to be designed as the center of enhanced command and control networks at sea, as the Navy looks to field more autonomous assets and traditional vessels in the coming years.   The first “Trump-class” battleship will be named USS Defiant, and it will be even longer than the Iowa-class battleships of the World War II era. However, at 35,000 tons, it will only weigh about half as much, and have a smaller crew of between 650 and 850 sailors; the Iowa had some 2,700 sailors. The new ships — which are being called “guided missile battleships” —  are part of larger vision for a “Golden Fleet.” The Navy has rolled out a website to promote that concept. Sources tell AP that construction of the Defiant is expected to start in the early 2030’s, with another 19 to 24 Trump-class ships to follow.   Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2003231263520379120?s=20   that kind of money, they HAVE to build quickly!”   “We want the dividends to go into the creation of production facilities.

Altonaga of the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida, their client is a “target” of a grand jury investigation. The word “target” is important here, because the letter specifically outlines how Brennan has received subpoenas for documents and information surrounding his construct of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. The letter notes that prosecutors from the Office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, have advised Mr. Brennan that he is “a target” of a grand jury investigation.   [SOURCE] Pay attention to the footnotes being cited by Brennan's lawyers as they begin to pull in some of the commentary by voices who have publicly given opinion about the overall Trump targeting operation.  Mike Davis name appears frequently in this letter, as the Brennan defense team begins to frame the conspiratorial nature of some claims against their client.

This section amends the Help America Vote Act of 2002 by adding a “Required Penetration Testing” section that “provides for the conduct of penetration testing as part of the testing, certification, decertification, and recertification of voting system hardware and software” by an accredited laboratory. The amendment now requires the penetration testing as a condition of certification from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and allows consultation with the National Institute of Standards and Technology or any other federal agency on “lab selection criteria” and “other aspects of the program.” While this is still short of a legitimate attempt at ensuring election integrity, it is an effort toward scrutinizing the voting systems by finally requiring cybersecurity experts to do what Clay Parikh was restricted from doing during his time as a VSTL contractor. Hand-marked paper ballots hand-counted at the precinct level, is being utilized in Dallas County, TX for the 2026 midterm primaries, and is still the ultimate goal of the election integrity community to ensure free and fair elections in the United States. Source: thegatewaypundit.com Penetration testing, often abbreviated as “pen testing,” is a cybersecurity practice where authorized experts simulate real-world cyberattacks on a computer system, network, or application to identify and exploit vulnerabilities before malicious actors can do so. The goal is to uncover weaknesses in security measures, such as software flaws, misconfigurations, or inadequate defenses, and provide recommendations for remediation. It typically involves several stages: Planning and reconnaissance: Gathering information about the target system. Scanning: Using tools to probe for potential entry points. Gaining access: Attempting to exploit vulnerabilities to breach the system. Maintaining access: Testing how long access can be sustained without detection. Analysis and reporting: Documenting findings, risks, and fixes. In the context of Section 6805 of the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which incorporates provisions from the SECURE IT Act (H.R. 6315), penetration testing is mandated as part of the testing, certification, decertification, and recertification process for voting system hardware and software. The Election Assistance Commission (EAC) must implement this requirement within 180 days of enactment, with accreditation of testing entities handled through recommendations from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This ensures that voting systems used in federal elections undergo rigorous cybersecurity assessments to detect and mitigate vulnerabilities, enhancing election security Poll: Trump's Approval Rating Lands at 50 Percent, 9 Points Above Water President Donald Trump enjoys a 50 percent approval rating, with a net approval rating of plus 9 points, according to the latest polling from InsiderAdvantage.  Source: breitbart.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

Brain-computer interfaces are moving out of the lab and into real medical use. In this episode of The Michael Shermer Show, Michael Shermer talks with Dr. Matt Angle, founder and CEO of Paradromics, a neurotechnology company developing one of the most advanced high-data-rate brain implants in the world, similar to Neuralink. These devices record activity from individual neurons, making it possible to restore speech in people with paralysis, reconnect the brain to external devices, and potentially treat chronic pain and neurological disorders with far greater precision than existing approaches. Angle explains why progress in neuroscience has been limited not by biology, but by data—how much information we can actually read from the brain, and how fast. He describes how patients who can no longer speak may soon communicate fluently using only brain signals, why invasive implants can sometimes be safer than long-term drug treatments, and what it takes to bring a brain implant through FDA approval and into the clinic. The conversation also touches on the larger questions raised by this technology, including autonomy, consciousness, and what happens when the boundary between brain and machine begins to blur. Matt Angle is the Founder and CEO of Paradromics, a neurotechnology leader developing the world's most advanced and clinically viable brain-computer interface (BCI) platform—bridging human thought and digital capability. Paradromics' BCI platform records brain activity with unmatched precision, capturing data at the level of individual neurons. This advanced technology enables the decoding of vast amounts of brain data, opening the door to next-generation treatments for paralysis, chronic pain, addiction, mental health conditions, and more. With the power of AI, this platform has the potential to radically shift how healthcare providers approach some of the most challenging medical conditions. Angle earned his PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Heidelberg, followed by postdoctoral research at Stanford University. Paradromics engineered its first clinical product, the Connexus® BCI, received two FDA Breakthrough Device Designations, and performed the first-in-human neural recording in May 2025. The company is now preparing to launch a clinical trial in early 2026, pending regulatory approval.

How do parents support kids who've experienced stress without letting labels become their identity? In this Facing the Dark episode, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore post-traumatic stress, attention struggles, and the growing role of AI in diagnosis, while carefully distinguishing between understanding a child's challenges and defining a child by them. Together they explain why beliefs shape behavior, why labels should only be used when they lead to real help, and how parents can speak truth, hope, and resilience over kids who are working through pain. This episode equips families to listen longer, look beneath the surface, and walk patiently with kids toward healing and confidence rooted in who God says they are.

Epi 7 What does plastic surgery really feel like after the operating room lights go off?In this deeply personal and medically-informed episode of The Cutting Edge Podcast, we talk openly about the pain, fear, medications, and misconceptions surrounding recovery after procedures like tummy tucks, liposuction, muscle repair, and 360 body lifts. Our host Mel, 10 years post-bariatric surgery, knows that the journey doesn't end with weight loss. For many patients, plastic surgery is the next chapter, and with it comes a new kind of pain—both physical and emotional. She's joined by co-host Ashlyn Douglass-Barnes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and multi-round plastic surgery patient, who brings both professional and lived experience to this candid conversation. Together with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Omar E. Beidas, we go beyond the usual “pain scale” talk. We explore how ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols are shifting how pain is managed, why opioids aren't always the answer, and what realistic expectations look like—especially for bariatric patients who may face higher risk with certain meds. This episode is a rare blend of medical expertise, psychological insight, and real-world experience. Whether you're planning your first cosmetic surgery or supporting someone through recovery, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of: Why some patients describe the pain as “brutal” or “burning” even weeks after surgery How medications like Gabapentin, Valium, and Tylenol are used strategically What it means to overestimate your pain tolerance The emotional pressure to recover quickly or "tough it out" How trauma, weight history, and shame can impact healing We don't sugarcoat anything—and that's the point. Because your recovery should be based on facts, not filters. 

What if the thing you've been running from your entire life is the exact doorway to your freedom?Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician who spent 17 years in academic medicine—running ICUs, bone marrow transplant units, and managing end-stage disease—before discovering that the root of nearly all illness traces back to one thing: stuck emotions. His work now bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, revealing how we've turned natural feelings into toxic emotional constructs that can't metabolize through our systems.In this episode, you'll discover:→ The profound difference between feelings and emotions—and why one heals while the other gets stuck→ Why emotions are the "high fructose corn syrup" of feelings and what that means for your body→ What unconditional love actually feels like (hint: it's not the warm fuzzy sensation you think)→ How the victim-perpetrator cycle keeps you trapped—and the one shift that breaks you free→ Why nature has no purpose—and what that means for your obsession with finding yours→ The reason your grief, heartbreak, and pain aren't problems to solve but waves to ride→ How to move from "life is happening to me" to "life is happening as me"→ The one regenerative act that opens the floodgates for nature to restore everythingYou are not broken for feeling everything so deeply. You are an infinite soul in a finite body, which means you signed up for constant loss—and constant falling in love. The sunsets. The people. The moments. To be alive is to grieve and marvel in equal measure. And the courage to feel—fully, without resistance—is the medicine this world needs most. Listen now and remember what it means to truly feel your way through this one precious life.Connect with Dr. Bush:Website: https://journeyofintrinsichealth.com/Join Dr Bush's Community: https://journeyofintrinsichealth.com/Instagram: @zachbushmdConnect with Raj:Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Wounds Without Toxic PositivityIn this episode of The More Live Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend to talk about my book Scar Tissue: How to Find Relief from the Pain of Your Emotional Wounds Without Toxic Positivity and the deeper truths about grief, healing, and personal power.We explore grief beyond death, why toxic positivity can actually delay healing, and how language, responsibility, and choice shape our emotional freedom. I share the story behind why this book exists, how losing my daughter Leyden reshaped every part of my life, and why grief is not something to get over but something to integrate.This conversation is for anyone navigating loss, identity shifts, heartbreak, or the quiet griefs we don't always name. If you've ever felt stuck between honoring your pain and wanting to move forward without betraying your love, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.Show Notes: In this deeply honest conversation, I share the journey behind Scar Tissue and the lessons grief has taught me about power, responsibility, and freedom. We talk about redefining grief beyond death, dismantling entitlement disguised as worthiness, and why eliminating the word “should” changed my entire life.We also explore how grief can become a source of connection rather than something that isolates us, how to work with emotional energy instead of numbing or bypassing it, and why healing is not about moving on but moving forward with love.This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing your worth, reclaim your agency, and become a conscious co-creator with your pain instead of a victim to it.In this episode, we explore:• Why grief is more than death and how it shows up in everyday life• The difference between toxic positivity and empowered healing• How language like “should” creates guilt, shame, and disempowerment• The concept of grief as energy and how to transmute it• Why you are worthy but not entitled and how that distinction creates freedom• How to integrate loss without losing connection• The role of radical responsibility in healing emotional wounds• Why grief is not a blank check to be an asshole• How nervous system regulation plays a key role in long-term healing• What it really means to move forward without betraying love  Catch up with me on socials!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissadlugolecki/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/melissa.dlugoleckiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-dlugolecki-b24988141/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melissadlugoleckiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MelissaDlugolecki

Welcome to NHA Today, the official podcast of the National Health Association!

Christmas isn't always “the most wonderful time of the year.” For some of us, this time of year magnifies the pain we're carrying… the empty chair at the table, the tension in relationships, the dreams that haven't come true. Today I want to talk about the hard side of Christmas and remind you of the powerful promise Jesus makes in the middle of it all: “Behold, I am making all things new.” Not someday. Not just in heaven. But right now, even in the middle of your heartache. If this Christmas feels heavy, I hope you'll take a few minutes with me today. Don't pretend. Don't force the joy. Just come as you are. And let's draw near to the One who promises to draw near to us.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance.

Over-regulation is not the solution to what ails the American banking system. Rigorous, responsible supervision is. The initial report on the 2023 debacle by former Vice Chairman for Supervision, Michael Barr, was an exercise in obfuscation and sophistry.

FBI was warned that Jeffrey Epstein was into child porn — but ignored it for 10 years, docs show   A former employee of late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein alerted the FBI that he was interested in “child pornography” and that he threatened to “burn her house down” decades before Epstein became an international fixation — but feds apparently did nothing. Source: nypost.com   If there was every anything about Trump, it would have been released before he reached the bottom of the escalator in 2015, the Comey FBI would have leaked it, and the Dems would have brought it up at some point while Biden was in office. But none of that happened. Why? Because Epstein leads to the Dems, and people like myself have been trying to warn the world about it for 10+ years.  https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2002408563193368834?s=20  and it worked brilliantly. Could you imagine if in Trump's first term he released all this stuff about Epstein? The public would not have believed it, and the Dems/MSM would have claimed it was all politically motivated and fabricated by Trump. The only way this Epstein disclosure was going to work, was to get the public to beg for it. So that's what Trump did. https://twitter.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/2002450017647301084?s=20 https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2002530633394934144?s=20   partner with Wolfe via the TerraMar project, which is also connected to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation. What is Nathan Wolfe known for? Searching for bat coronaviruses in Ukraine via USAID Project PREDICT, via his biolab company, Metabiota, which was funded via Rosemont Seneca, which is partially owned by Hunter Biden. Russia accused Wolfe and his biolab company of creating genome-specific biological weapons in Ukraine. This situation has been addressed by RFK Jr. and Tulsi multiple times, and has been a major topic at the UN for over 3 years now. So Epstein had an interest in eugenics and he had financial/social connections to virologists who were making genome-specific biological weapons via USAID grants in Ukraine. Nathan Wolfe even directly thanked Epstein in his 2011 book “The Viral Storm: The Dawn of the New Pandemic Age” where Wolfe predicted the COVID pandemic 8 years before it happened… So what am I getting at? I think Epstein had plans to engage in ethnic cleansing/population control/genocide via biological weapon, and I think he had something to do with Covid. Epstein is at the epicenter of the Deep State empire. He was essentially a real life James Bond villain. The timing could not be worse. He and Hillary are in the middle of trying to fight subpoenas to testify in person to the House Oversight Committee on the Epstein matter and what they might know. They want to submit sworn statements. Republican Committee Chair James Comer (KY-1) wants to be able to question and cross-examine them in person.  DOGE Geopolitical U.S. Snatches Venezuela Oil Tanker in Dark‑Hour Strike on Narco‑Terror Funding In a stealth operation carried out before dawn on Dec. 20, the U.S. Coast Guard—working alongside the Department of War—seized an oil tanker last seen in the terrorist state of Venezuela.

This creates a rather bizarre official hypocrisy within the Zelenskyy regime.  The official position of Zelenskyy is that Eastern Ukraine will never be accepted as a part of the Russian federation. Zelenskyy has recently noted, with EU leadership support, that his government will never recognize Eastern Ukraine as part of the Russian federation.  However, this same region, approximately 20% of Ukraine, will not be permitted to participate in his controlled election. Essentially, any Ukraine resident who does not support Zelenskyy will not be permitted to vote in any election, if any election is ever permitted.  Additionally, Zelenskyy notes that “there is the practice of voting abroad,” however, any region not controlled by Zelenskyy cannot submit votes.

Kennedy and now additionally honors President Donald J. Trump, who has brought America back and saved the Trump-Kennedy Center. The Board's action is permissible under the statute and no legislation is necessary. The Board’s action does nothing to change the statutory title. Instead, the Board has–in line with longstanding Executive Branch practice–designated a new name. For example, The Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer, within the Office of Management & Budget, is designated by statute as the “Office of Electronic Government.” But it's long gone by the name “Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer” in official, public, and internal communications. Similarly, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is designated by statute as the “Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.” But since the beginning, the agency has long gone by the name Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or CFPB in all official communications, correspondence with the Hill, titles and signage on its buildings. The “United States Institute of Peace” was established by statute but was renamed by the Department of State as the “Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace.” The Department of War was established as the “Department of Defense” by statute in 1947. Earlier this year, President Trump authorized the use of the name “Department of War” and the name is now etched on the Pentagon's building and in official correspondence and public communications. It is entirely fitting for the Board of Trustees to vote to add President Trump to the title so that this Center is now named The Donald J. Trump And The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. President Trump has provided superb leadership at every level to save the Kennedy Center from financial ruin and wokeness, and to bring our national treasure to new heights!
