In this chilling installment of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak "RedPill78" Paine dig into one of the most disturbing and enduring unsolved cases of the 1980s: the deaths of Kevin Ives and Don Henry, also known as the “Boys on the Tracks.” What begins as a mysterious tragedy in rural Arkansas quickly unravels into a sinister web of drug trafficking, police corruption, compromised officials, and CIA operations tied to Mena Airport. Herold and Paine expose the inconsistencies in the official narrative, the horrifying autopsy revelations, and the string of witnesses and investigators who died under suspicious circumstances. They highlight the role of Kevin's mother, Linda Ives, in keeping the case alive and forcing public attention on a story that implicates powerful political interests. This is part one of a multi-episode deep dive into a case that's far more than a local scandal, it's a glimpse into a nationwide cover-up with global implications.

I was so excited when I found today's story. Ralph Delahaye Paine was a journalist and novelist who flourished in the early 1900s. He attracted the attention of William Randolph Hearst when he covered the Cuban War for Independence from 1895-98. He continued as a war correspondent until 1903, when he retired from journalism and focused on writing history and fiction. Blackbeard: Buccaneer tells a tale of Edward Teach, the famous pirate known as Blackbeard. Paine uses fictional characters to weave the tale together, but the details around Blackbeard himself are pretty reliable. And now, Blackbeard: Buccaneer, Part 1 of 8, by Ralph D.

After my last lecture series with Sarah Paine ended, I still had so many questions. I knew we'd only scratched the surface of Sarah's scholarship, so I immediately invited her back for another series: she graciously agreed, and we'll be releasing the results online over the coming weeks and months!This first lecture is focused on the balance of power in East Asia at the turn of the 20th century. Specifically, how did Japan (population 47M) defeat China (400M) and Russia (130M) to become Asia's dominant power?For me, the most interesting thing was that Japan's surprise attack on Port Arthur at the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War (1904) helps us understand why Japan might have thought Pearl Harbor would work.Watch on YouTube; listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.Sponsors* Google's Veo 3 helps us visualize the hypothetical scenarios that often come up during our interviews.

El director del Servicio de Impuestos Internos, Javier Etcheberry, está bajo la lupa por no haber pagado las contribuciones correspondientes a su valor correcto durante nueve años por una casa en Paine. Aunque argumenta haber enviado la documentación necesaria para actualizar el monto, surgen dudas sobre el sistema y sus procesos. Por otro lado, el trámite realizado en 2016 no buscaba ajustar las contribuciones, sino cumplir con la Ley 20.780 para valorar la propiedad. Esto pone de manifiesto problemas en la discrecionalidad del SII y abre la puerta a la corrupción. La falta de modernización y claridad en la fiscalización afecta a los ciudadanos comunes, generando espacios para irregularidades y beneficiando la burocracia.
El exdirector del Servicio de Impuestos Internos (SII), Ricardo Escobar, defendió este jueves en Cooperativa al actual director de la repartición, Javier Etcheberry, en el marco de la polémica por el no pago de contribuciones por nueve años de su casa en Paine.

Economistas coincidieron este jueves en El Primer Café en cuanto a que el no pago de contribuciones en su vivienda de Paine por parte del director del Servicio de Impuestos Internos, Javier Etcheberry, generado un problema al Gobierno, pero aún faltan antecedentes para exigirle una renuncia.

According to multiple reviews across the book series on goodreads and Amazon, Clark "writes like Agatha Christie," and is reminiscent of Margaret Maron and Louise Penny. A North Carolina native, Clark grew up in Raleigh with family roots in Virginia. An admitted chocoholic and coffeeholic, Lee Clark still resides in North Carolina with spouse, two mostly grown children who are in and out, and a dwindling petting zoo of geriatric dogs and cats. Lee Clark attended Campbell University, obtained a degree in Journalism from East Carolina University, and then a Master's in Technical Communication from North Carolina State University. Following a twenty year career in the software development industry of corporate America at IBM, Clark turned to writing fiction in 2021 with the release of Dead Spots, the first in the Matthew Paine Mystery series. The Matthew Paine character is a beloved character to the author. Though a fictional character, Matthew was inspired by two very important men in the author's life, brother Sean and son Will. Both will catch glimpses of themselves in the character and identify with some of Matthew's struggles. https://cypressrivermedia.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
Three words that can make any parent's wallet flinch: “Back to school.” But there's a silver lining—especially if your state has a tax-free weekend.For families gearing up for a new school year, those tax holidays can make a real difference. Today, Crystal Paine shares smart, practical ways to get prepared and save money along the way.Crystal Paine is the founder of MoneySavingMom.com and the author of The Money Saving Mom's Budget: Slash Your Spending, Pay Down Your Debt, Streamline Your Life, and Save Thousands a Year. Does Your State Participate?Not every state offers a tax-free weekend, and the rules vary widely from state to state. Crystal recommends checking your state's Department of Revenue or the Federation of Tax Administrators for up-to-date information.Understand what qualifies, as in some states, clothing must be under $100, and online purchases often count—if ordered and paid for within the specified window. Even if you're not shopping for back-to-school items, this can still be a good time to purchase other qualifying necessities.Don't treat the tax-free weekend like a shopping spree. Instead, we suggest that you:Make a list of what your family actually needs.Set a budget—especially if your kids are old enough to be involved (around age 8–10).Know the limits so you don't go over a price cap and lose the exemption.Stack your savings by searching for coupons or shopping through cashback sites like RetailMeNot.Simply search for the site name and ‘coupon code' before making a purchase.What About Online Shopping?A common misconception to keep in mind is that if you order and pay during the holiday window, and the item qualifies, it's usually tax-exempt, even if it ships later. Please ensure it ships to an in-state address.One important caveat to remember is that Amazon may not always participate, and shipping costs may be included in item price caps in some states. Therefore, read the fine print and always check your confirmation receipt to ensure that tax wasn't accidentally charged.Stewardship Over SavingsThe ultimate goal isn't just saving money—it's honoring God. Sometimes we think we're saving when we're really just spending less wastefully. But that's still spending. Ask yourself: Am I buying this because it's a wise investment, or is it just because it's on sale?Make prayerful purchases—asking God for wisdom, guidance, and even provision when looking for specific items. God is faithful to lead us when we invite Him into our financial decisions.Good stewardship is about more than just saving money. It's about aligning our spending with God's purposes.

My employer has just started offering a Roth 403(b), and I'm wondering—if I'm at my age, does it make sense to contribute?I'm 46 and considering selling my townhome, but I'm unsure if now is the right time. If I do sell, what's the best way to invest the equity?I took out a home improvement loan in my name to help a friend. Could I qualify for debt forgiveness on that loan?I recently started investing in goldbacks and noticed more states are adopting them. What are your thoughts, and do you think it's a good time to invest in them?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)The Money Saving Mom's Budget: Slash Your Spending, Pay Down Your Debt, Streamline Your Life, and Save Thousands a Year by Crystal PaineMoneySavingMom.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

What happens when a cognitive psychologist turned UX researcher brings a critical eye to AI? Dr. Llewyn Paine shares her unique perspective at the intersection of emerging technology and user research. With experience spanning neuromarketing, 3D television, and mixed reality, Llewyn has seen the hype cycles come and go—and learned to spot the gap between promise and practical value. Llewyn and Lou explore the parallels between now-defunct technologies and today's AI surge, noting how often new tools are overmarketed before their implications are truly understood. Llewyn urges researchers to engage with AI not as passive users but as experimenters: to test, retest, document, and analyze like scientists. Her recent workshop revealed how even identical prompts to the same model can yield wildly different results—an important reminder that AI is non-deterministic and context-sensitive. Llewyn also shares a behind-the-scenes look at curating the Designing with AI 2025 conference, built around both the realities of today and the creative possibilities of tomorrow. She reminds us that critical thinking, experimentation, and thoughtful documentation are the UX research community's superpowers in this unpredictable AI era.
Going from the largest government in history to a real land of the free won't be quick or easy. The Founders and old Revolutionaries told us the truth: there is no silver bullet. Liberty demands effort, dedication, fortitude, and perseverance. In this episode, you'll hear from Jefferson, Adams, Otis, Paine, and others on the courage it takes to move from tyranny to liberty.

Frank Paine shares his journey from a devastating pornography addiction and legalism to finding freedom through understanding his identity in Christ. After years of smashing laptops, crying in closets, and feeling condemned, Frank discovered that true freedom comes not from trying harder but from embracing who God says he is.• Grew up with minimal religious background but felt drawn to God from childhood• Struggled with pornography addiction for over a decade• Experienced crushing shame and believed God was punishing him for his failures• Tried various solutions including Celebrate Recovery, Pentecostal and Adventist churches• Battled legalism that made him believe his salvation depended on his behavior• Discovered Love Reality Bible Studies in 2022, which transformed his understanding• Learned that his identity is rooted in Christ, not in his behavior• Found freedom by believing what God says about him rather than identifying with his sin• Began working with a life coach who helped him apply gospel truth to daily living• Now ministers to others struggling with similar issuesIf you're trapped in cycles of shame and addiction, stop identifying with what you're doing and start identifying with what God's Word says about you in spite of what you're doing. The freedom you seek comes from believing the truth about your identity in Christ.
They call it “just this once.” But that's how it always begins. One unconstitutional act becomes a precedent - and suddenly, lawless power becomes routine. From Tacitus to Paine, Dickinson to Washington, history has screamed the warning: precedent is how tyranny becomes law. In this episode, we trace the oldest trick in the tyrant's playbook - and why free people must resist it before it's too late.

Summer's not that far off, and the kids are already thinking “vacation.” Will you be ready for it?How can you make great family memories without breaking the budget? That's always the challenge, but Crystal Paine joins us today with some great tips for a budget-friendly family vacation.Crystal Paine is the founder of MoneySavingMom.com and the author of The Money Saving Mom's Budget: Slash Your Spending, Pay Down Your Debt, Streamline Your Life, and Save Thousands a Year. How to Take a Great Family Vacation Without Breaking the BankPlanning a family vacation is one of life's great joys—and, if you're not careful, one of its greatest budget busters. Here are some practical and encouraging tips on how to plan a memorable getaway without coming home to credit card regret.1. Start with a Plan—and Start EarlyPlan ahead. Start early to maximize your options. That includes scouting for affordable destinations—especially those a little off the beaten path—and using tools like Google Flights to find the best travel deals.Google Flights lets you enter your preferred dates and search anywhere for the lowest fares. It's a great way to discover places you might not have thought of but can afford. Also, set a clear trip budget early on and decide as a family what matters most. Maybe it's staying near the beach, and you're willing to save by eating in.2. Look for Free ActivitiesYou'd be surprised how many free attractions are out there. Just type your destination and “free things to do” into a search engine. From parks and hiking trails to museums and community festivals, many cities offer hidden gems that cost nothing but create lasting memories.3. Get the Whole Family InvolvedVacations are more meaningful when everyone has a say. Let your kids have a voice in the planning process. Even if they're not picking the destination, they can help select activities. Better yet, give each family member a mini-budget to plan a portion of the trip.This allows kids to learn about budgeting, decision-making, and the real cost of things, making the trip more personal and fun.4. Be Strategic About MealsEating out can quickly blow your vacation budget. Instead, be intentional.

We talk about why Russia, China, and even the U.S. often misunderstand their own strengths, repeat the same strategic mistakes, and ultimately sabotage themselves from within. If you want to understand why grand strategy fails, and what that means for the next decade of global competition, this one's worth your time.

Hosted by Frankie Val, Adel Nero, and Zak ‘RedPill78' Paine, this episode of Taking It Back brings fire and clarity to the chaos of the week. The crew tackles the wildly contradictory Wisconsin election results, where a liberal judge won big while voter ID passed by a landslide, and unpacks what it says about fraud, apathy, and the broken GOP machine. Then it's on to Trump's newly declared “Liberation Day” and the global economic shift triggered by his sweeping tariff plan. From Israel and Canada instantly folding to speculation about ending the IRS through tariff-funded sovereignty, it's a conversation that combines economic insight with America First strategy. Plus: a dive into the SignalGate saga, the mainstream media's manufactured freakout, and the wider narrative warfare being waged ahead of the 2024 showdown. Smart, funny, and unfiltered...this is Taking It Back at full throttle.
Hosted by CannCon and Zak 'RedPill78' Paine, this episode dives deep into Trump's game-changing tariff plan and its ripple effects across global markets, including Israel's surprising reversal and Canada's hilarious backpedaling. The duo also exposes ActBlue's foreign donation fiasco, RFK Jr.'s bold moves to gut the bloated health bureaucracy, and the swamp's growing fear of U.S. Attorney Ed Martin. They touch on everything from hemp history to ivermectin access, the lunacy of voter registration campaigns, and why Medicaid outspends defense. Packed with sharp analysis, historic parallels, and a dash of sarcasm, this episode is your daily dose of Badlandia sanity.
TREASON. INVASION. CONQUEST. The Founders didn't see unconstitutional power as just bad policy - they saw it as a kind of war against the people. In this episode, we dig deep into forgotten principles from Locke, Sidney, Paine, and others who shaped the Revolution. Because when government violates the Constitution, it's not just a mistake - it's an attack on your liberty. The post TREASON: The Untold Truth about Unconstitutional Power first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.
In this inaugural episode of Bad Friends, a chaotic crew of Badlands Media hosts: Jon Herold, Burning Bright, Ashe in America, Chris Paul, CannCon, Alpha Warrior, Ghost and Zak 'RedPill78' Paine, gathers to kick off a Tuesday night hangout unlike any other. What starts as a low-stakes intro devolves into deeply unserious debates, bursts of laughter, and wildly entertaining tangents about politics, media, and culture. Expect profanity, hot takes, unexpected wisdom, and the kind of off-the-cuff camaraderie that only Badlands can deliver.

In this episode, I take you inside my 7-day group trek through Torres del Paine in Patagonia with EcoCamp—over 80 miles of hiking, wild weather, and unforgettable views. While the trek itself was with a group, I traveled to Chile and continued on to Argentina solo. I'm sharing the full story: what I ate, how I trained, what I packed, what I wish I'd done differently, and how I managed to hike while sick. If you're dreaming of Patagonia or wondering what it's like to take on the O Circuit as a solo female traveler, this one's for you. Hosted by Leanne Vogel.

Brad Zerbo and Zak ‘RedPill78' Paine kick off with a deep dive into the eyebrow-raising results of a Pennsylvania special election in a heavily red district, was it voter apathy or something more sinister? They break down Trump's latest executive order, early voting strategy, and how to combat election fraud without abandoning the vote. From the saga of Signal leaks and Mike Waltz's sketchy contacts to tariffs on Venezuelan oil and a surprise detour into Disney's self-inflicted implosion, this episode hits hard on political manipulation, cultural collapse, and what it'll take to take our country back.
CannCon and Zak 'RedPill78' Paine tackle a packed news cycle, starting with U.S. military action in Syria following attacks on American personnel, and what it might signal geopolitically. They analyze Joe Biden's latest public missteps, raising serious questions about his fitness amid escalating global tension. The episode dives into the fallout from the now-confirmed authenticity of the Hunter Biden laptop, exposing the media and intel community's coordinated suppression efforts. Plus, the Truth Social merger makes headlines with its $8 billion valuation, but the guys debate whether it's a strategic win or a potential trap. Other topics include WHO pandemic treaty fears, election integrity cases, and what Trump's moves reveal about the state of play in 2025.
Zak 'RedPill78' Paine and Brad Zerbo are back, and the deep state meltdowns are reaching hilarious new heights. From unhinged leftists vandalizing Teslas to a deranged Florida man challenging Trump to a naked death duel, this episode has it all. They break down the latest wave of lawfare, expose the radical doxxing campaign targeting Tesla owners, and laugh at the absurd mental gymnastics of the media. Plus, a deep dive into why the judicial system is collapsing under its own corruption, what Trump's administration is doing to fight back, and why the left is suddenly against electric cars. If you thought Clown World couldn't get any crazier, think again.
