Episode 3432: Sean Mullaney breaks down the key legal and tax considerations for parents looking to pass their home to their children, whether they're minors or adults. From the flexibility of revocable living trusts to the potential pitfalls of joint tenancy, this episode offers a clear, practical guide to making informed decisions while avoiding costly mistakes. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://fitaxguy.com/2020/08/ Quotes to ponder: "It is often best to work with a lawyer to transfer the primary residence to a revocable living trust." "The best thing about a revocable living trust: as long as the grantor(s) is/are alive, the trust is fully revocable! So mistakes can be easily fixed." "Parents placing their primary residence in their own revocable living trust does not necessitate the filing of a federal gift tax return (Form 709)."

Shellee Howard is on the show today to talk how to do college without crushign debt for your kids. She shares how her journey as a "mom on a mission" led her to help families navigate the college process strategically, emphasizing early preparation, self-discovery, and return on investment rather than prestige alone. She explains why overcrowded school counselors fall short, how students should clarify their values, talents, and career goals before choosing colleges, and why college should be viewed as a business decision and a stepping stone to adulthood, and not a status symbol. With the right planning, families can avoid debt, maximize scholarships, and choose schools that truly align with a student's future goals. We discuss...  Shellee Howard explained how her experience guiding her own children to graduate college debt-free inspired her career as an independent college consultant. She described why high school guidance counselors are often unable to provide comprehensive college planning due to overcrowding and competing responsibilities. The discussion emphasized starting college preparation early by helping students identify their core values, strengths, and long-term interests rather than focusing only on grades or test scores. Shellee stressed that college readiness is about preparing for adulthood, not chasing prestige or comparing against other families. We explore how poor financial literacy leads many students to take on unnecessary debt without understanding return on investment. Shellee argued that college is a business decision and should be evaluated like an investment, with scholarships, fit, and outcomes prioritized over name recognition alone. Many students are not ready at 18 to make high-stakes decisions and why exploration through service, internships, and extracurriculars matters. The value of college branding versus actual educational and career outcomes are debated, with examples showing that different paths work for different students. Shellee outlined key timing considerations, including the critical importance of middle school and early high school years for maximizing opportunity and financial aid. Parents were encouraged to stay actively involved in guiding their children rather than leaving major financial and life decisions to teenagers.

If those dependencies are severed, if each country has the ability to feed, produce and innovate independently, then the entire dependency model around globalism collapses. Within the globalism model that was historically created there was a group of people, western nations, banks, finance and various government leaders, who controlled the organization and rules of the trade dependencies.  The action being taken for self-sufficiency, in combination with the approach promoted by President Trump that each nation state should generate their own needs, then the rules-based order that has existed for global trade will collapse. If nations are no longer dependent, they become sovereign – able to exist without the need for support from other nations and systems. If nations are indeed sovereign, then globalism is no longer needed and a threat of the unknown rises. How will nations engage with each other if there is no governing body of western elites to make the rules for engagement?  The need for control is a reaction to fear, and it is the fear of self-reliance that permeates the elitist class within the control structures.   If each nation of the world is operating according to its individual best interests, the position of Donald Trump, then what happens to the governing elite who set up the system of interdependencies. This is the core of their fear. If each nation can suddenly grow tea, what happens to the East India Tea Company.  Who then sets the price for the tea, and worse still an entire distribution system (ships, ports, exchanges, banks, etc.) becomes functionally obsolescent.

Conservative journalist Kaitlin Bennett revealed this week that she was charged with a federal crime and fined by the National Park Service in St. Augustine for the so-called offense of asking Democrats questions on public property. According to Bennett, federal agents targeted her while she was conducting on-the-street interviews, a form of journalism protected by the First Amendment. Despite being on public land, Bennett says she was cited and punished simply for engaging in political speech that the Left finds inconvenient. Bennett addressed the incident directly in a post on X, writing: https://twitter.com/KaitMarieox/status/2014174254799958148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2014174254799958148%7Ctwgr%5Ef4a6650cd0c60d38edfea018c5665c2cc2fe5199%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Ftwo-tier-justice-conservative-journalist-kaitlin-bennett-charged%2F When asked by another local journalist exactly what “lawful order” Bennett had disobeyed, the ranger reportedly could not provide a straight answer.

A moment between the two went viral when Kasky casually declared that President Donald Trump had been involved in an international sex trafficking ring. Jennings wasn't going to let that remark go unchallenged by host John Berman. The topic of conversation had been Trump's interest in Greenland and the Nobel Peace Prize, but Kasky threw in a jab at Trump with an allusion to the president's relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — an allusion Kasky's now trying to walk back. “I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win 'em all,” he blurted out. https://twitter.com/overton_news/status/2013455047288377517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013455047288377517%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F   Berman asked Jennings a follow-up question about Greenland, but instead of addressing that, Jennings circled back to Kasky's remark. “You're gonna let that sit?” Jennings asked Berman. “Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring or …?” After assuring Jennings that he would do the fact-checking, Berman asked Kasky to repeat what he'd said about the global sex-trafficking ring. “That Donald Trump was … probably … very involved with it,” the arrogant young man replied, with perhaps a touch less confidence. To Berman's credit, and the CNN legal team's, he immediately said, “Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.” https://twitter.com/camkasky/status/2013760245298864477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013760245298864477%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2014189561002291385?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/brentdsadler/status/2014311942119137584?s=20  important as these agreements cover the entirety of the Chagos group of islands/features.

Negotiated for over 25 years, it aims to create one of the world’s largest free trade zones, covering more than 700 million people and reducing tariffs on goods like cars, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products.  It includes commitments on sustainability, labor rights, and environmental protections, but critics argue these are insufficient to address issues like Amazon deforestation and unfair competition for European farmers. The agreement was politically finalized in 2019 but faced delays due to environmental concerns and opposition from countries like France and Austria. It was formally signed on January 17, 2026, after EU member states (with a qualified majority, despite opposition from five countries including France) greenlit it on January 9.  The Stupidity of Davos Explained Using an Example of Their Own Creation China is manufacturing a product to create a carbon credit certificate in response to the demand for carbon credits from all the world auto-makers.  Any nation that has a penalty or fine attached to their climate goals is a customer. Those are nations with fines or quotas associated with the production of gasoline powered engines if the auto company doesn't hit the legislated target for sales of electric vehicles. In essence, EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies buy Chinese car company carbon credits, to avoid the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN fines.  The Chinese then use the carbon credit revenue to subsidize even lower priced Chinese EVs to the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car markets, thereby undercutting the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies that also produce EVs. China brilliantly exploits the ridiculous pontificating climate scam and has an interest in perpetuating -even emphasizing- the need for the EU/AU/RU/ASEAN countries to keep pushing their climate agenda.  China even goes so far as to fund alarmism research about climate change because they are making money selling carbon credit certificates on the back end of the scam to the western fear mongers.  This is friggin' brilliant.   The climate change alarmists are helping China's economy by pushing ever escalating fear of climate change.  You just cannot make this stuff up. What does the outcome look like? Well, in this example we see hundreds of thousands of unsold BYDs piling up in countries that emphasize climate regulations with no restrictions on the import of EVs (which most don't even manufacture), which is almost every country.  Big Panda doesn't care about the car itself; they care about generating the carbon credit certificate to sell in the various carbon exchanges. Put this context to the recent announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about his new trade deal with China to accept 49,000 EVs this year. Prime Minister Carney bragged about getting the Chinese to agree to only super low prices for the Canadian market.  Mark Carney was very proud of his accomplishment to get much lower priced vehicles for Canadian EV purchasers.   No doubt Big Panda left the room laughing as soon as Carney made his grand announcement. 1. China sells EV's in Canada, creating credits available on the carbon exchange scheme. Europe et al will purchase the carbon credits because Bussels has fines against EU car companies. 2. With a foothold already established in Europe, China will then take the money generated by the carbon credit purchases and lower the prices of the Chinese EV cars sold in Canada. It's gets funnier. 3. Carney bragged about forcing China to only sell low price EV's as part of the trade agreement. The low price of the EV's in Canada will be subsidized by Europe. China doesn't pay or lose a dime. But wait…. 4. Carney can't do anything about the scheme he has just enmeshed Canada into, because Canada has a Carbon Credit exchange in law.

In late December, Monique and Spencer Tepe were found shot to death inside their Ohio home, the same place where they had once exchanged wedding vows. The killings happened in the early morning hours while their two young children slept in nearby bedrooms, unharmed and unaware. There were no signs of forced entry and no weapon left behind.Surveillance footage later showed a hooded figure walking calmly through a snowy alley near the townhouse around the time of the murders. Investigators also tracked a vehicle seen arriving shortly before the shooting and leaving soon after. That vehicle was traced more than four hundred miles away to Rockford, Illinois and linked to Monique's ex husband, Michael McKee.McKee was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated murder. Prosecutors allege he drove overnight, committed the killings, and returned home as if nothing had happened.Update: Family members now say McKee emotionally tormented Monique during their short marriage and describe the relationship as abusive. Police also report that during a search of McKee's condo, multiple firearms were recovered and one weapon is believed to be a ballistic match to shell casings found at the crime scene. These are allegations, and the case will ultimately be decided in court.Two parents are gone. Two children are left behind. And now a jury will be asked to decide whether this was an act of long held resentment, obsession, or something even darker.

What if the way our culture approaches dating is actually undermining our children's future? Recreational dating contradicts biblical principles and can lead to lasting emotional, spiritual, and relational harm. In episode five of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff identifies eight pitfalls of recreational dating, including the loss of parental covering, compromised sexual purity, emotional instability from repeated attachments and breakups, spiritual drift, deception, premature physical intimacy, and risks to future marital fulfillment.Parents are challenged to reconsider their role in guiding their children through one of life's most important decisions. Are we allowing cultural pressure to shape our parenting while warning our children not to do the same? This is not about control or fear, but wisdom, protection, and love. By presenting biblically grounded alternatives to recreational dating, this message calls parents to re-engage with purpose—helping guard their children's hearts, preserve their spiritual integrity, and prepare them for lifelong, godly relationships.

What if owning less could help you parent with more calm, confidence, and connection?In this episode of the Sustainable Parenting Podcast, Flora McCormick sits down with Joshua Becker of Simplify Magazine to explore how minimalism supports dependable calm, and deeper relationships with ourselves and our kids.We talk about how clutter quietly fuels stress, power struggles, and yelling — and how simplifying your home can become one of the most effective positive parenting strategies for more calm in your home life. Joshua shares practical ways to set visible boundaries kids can understand, why parents go first, and how fewer toys often lead to better listening, deeper play, and more cooperation.This conversation also challenges the idea that “more” creates a better childhood. Instead, we explore how minimalism helps families align time, money, and energy with their values — raising resilient kids, and raising confident kids.In this episode we discuss:Minimalism as a positive parenting strategy.Parenting benefits when you have environmental calm.How LESS is definitely more, in terms of raising resilient and confident kids.✨Want more? ✨NEW✨ pdfs and short video lessons on Respect, Bedtimes, Power Struggles and More: ON ETSY!✨ Get my 3 KEYS to Calm, Confident Parenting (30 min.

We use the word friend all the time—at school, at home, on the playground. "Line up, friends." "We don't hit our friends." "That's my friend from work." It sounds warm and inclusive, and it's almost always said with good intentions. But for many autistic and ADHD children, language is taken literally. When we tell them everyone is their friend, they believe us. And then they expect those people to act like friends—to include them, play with them, and treat them kindly. When that doesn't happen, the confusion can turn into hurt, self-blame, anxiety, and even depression. In this episode, I break down why overusing the word friend can be especially harmful for neurodivergent children—and how it can unintentionally teach them to ignore their own experiences or accept mistreatment. I share real-life examples from classrooms, playgrounds, and therapy spaces, including what happens when a child asks, "Are you my friend?" and the answer doesn't match the actions. We'll talk about: *Why autistic and ADHD children often take friendship language literally *How some children are bullied through "pretend friendship." *Why teaching actions of a friend is more helpful than using labels *How to help children notice when friendship behaviors change and know who to go to for help *A simple visual circles model that teaches self-friendship, boundaries, and different levels of connection *Why we need to be cautious with questions like "Who's your best friend?" *How society's message that "more friends = more value" can deeply harm neurodivergent kids *And why being a good friend to yourself is just as important as having friends around you I also share examples from my own adult friendships to show that real friendship doesn't look one way—and that closeness, frequency, and intensity can all vary and still be meaningful. If you're a parent, educator, or mental health professional supporting autistic or ADHD children, this episode offers a compassionate reframe and practical language shifts that can reduce confusion, protect emotional safety, and support healthier relationships. Because being precise with our language doesn't make kids less kind—it makes them safer. And safety is where real connection begins.

Rob and Michele Reiner did what most families cannot do. They got their severely mentally ill son into a court-ordered conservatorship—the most restrictive mental health intervention California allows. A judge found Nick gravely disabled beyond a reasonable doubt. A professional fiduciary was appointed. Nick could be forced into treatment against his will.And if the charges against him are true, it still wasn't enough to save their lives.Today on Hidden Killers, we walk through the seven specific failure points built into California's LPS conservatorship system. First: the threshold punishes families who provide support—if you're housing and feeding your mentally ill child, they may not legally qualify as "gravely disabled." Second: future danger doesn't count. California courts have ruled that "probabilistic pessimism" isn't grounds for conservatorship. Third: the one-year expiration with no safety net. Fourth: the cliff after discharge—only 9% of people leaving conservatorships get connected to follow-up care. Fifth: families cannot petition for conservatorship or force renewal. Sixth: the state doesn't track outcomes. Seventh: even if you qualify, there's a one-year wait for hospital beds.A California study found 83% of patients stay stable during conservatorship. After termination? Only 43%. More than half relapse—and the state says follow-up is voluntary.Nick's conservatorship ended in 2021. Four years later, his parents are dead. The system worked exactly as designed. That's the problem.We map every failure point onto the Reiner timeline and ask: what would it take to actually protect families from tragedies like this one?Nick Reiner is presumed innocent until proven guilty.#HiddenKillers #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ConservatorshipFailed #MentalHealthCrisis #TrueCrimePodcast #CaliforniaLaw #SystemicFailure #LPSConservatorshipJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why are so many parents refusing to register birth certificates for their kids? The answer might shock you.

Parenting a child with OCD can feel incredibly isolating. Your child is on their own journey with anxiety or OCD, but that doesn't mean you're supposed to navigate it alone.In this episode, I talk about one of the most overlooked pieces of helping kids with OCD: parent support.I explore questions like:Who do you turn to when things feel overwhelming?Do you have access to other parents who get it?Do you have a safe place to vent without judgment?Are you surrounded by people who can validate your struggles and share what's helped them?Does your child have access to age-appropriate support beyond just you?I also share why having a community matters so much when you're raising a child with anxiety or OCD — not just for emotional support, but for practical tools, shared wisdom, and grounding perspective when OCD is loud.At the end of the episode, I talk about the AT Parenting Community, which is currently open for a limited time. Inside the community, parents get access to:A supportive space to connect with other parents raising kids with anxiety and OCDLive classes, on-demand courses and support group calls for parents, kids and teensHelpful resources and ongoing educationA place to private message me and other parents questionsA safe, understanding environment where you don't have to explain or justify what you're going throughIf you've been trying to do this on your own, this episode is an invitation to pause and ask: Do I have enough support — and what would change if I did?

Today we're exploring unschooling—not just as an educational choice, but as a deeply personal and often healing journey for parents themselves. My guest is Esther Jones, an unschooling mother of three, the founder of The Unschool Space podcast, and the author of The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself. Esther was led into unschooling by her own children, who challenged her to unravel long-held beliefs about parenting, learning, and neurodiversity. Esther and I talk about what it really takes to step away from conventional expectations and learn to trust children's natural learning processes. We also explore the emotional work parents often need to do along the way, the importance of self-care and community support, and how mindfulness and self-compassion can become essential tools as families build lives beyond traditional schooling—ones where both kids and parents can truly thrive. About Esther Jones Esther Jones is an unschooling mother of three, founder of the The Unschool Space podcast and author of the recently published The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself.Esther was led into unschooling by her children, who have helped her unravel years of conditioned beliefs around parenting, children, learning and neurodiversity. Today, she supports other parents in transforming their mindset and building a life beyond traditional schooling in which their children and themselves can thrive, using mindfulness and self-compassion as the foundational tools for change. Things you'll learn from this episode   How unschooling requires parents to unlearn old beliefs and embrace the discomfort that signals growth Why trusting children to lead their own learning allows them to explore in organic, joyful ways How self-care and community support strengthen a parent's ability to show up for their child in an unschooling environment Why each child's needs may look different from their parent's—and how modeling our own passions supports their learning How online resources can expand support networks and deepen confidence for unschooling families Why the unschooling journey often becomes a healing process for parents as much as a learning journey for kids Resources mentioned Esther Jones' website The Parent's Handbook to Unschooling Yourself by Esther Jones The Unschool Space Podcast Esther Jones on Instagram Esther Jones on Substack A Conversation with Dr. Naomi Fisher on Self-Directed Learning (Tilt Parenting podcast) Blake Boles and His Book, Why Are You Still Sending Your Child to School?

STRONG Life Podcast ep 548 548

Major new developments in the Nick Reiner case. The New York Times has confirmed that Rob and Michele Reiner's son was placed under an LPS mental health conservatorship in 2020—California's most extreme intervention for severely mentally ill adults. A judge found him "gravely disabled." Licensed fiduciary Steven Baer was appointed to make treatment decisions on his behalf. Nick could be forced to take medication and placed in a locked psychiatric facility against his will.The conservatorship lasted one year. It ended in 2021. It was never renewed.On True Crime Today, we explain exactly what an LPS conservatorship allows, why families cannot initiate these proceedings on their own, and the legal provision that may have made renewal impossible: under California law, if someone is providing for a mentally ill person's basic needs, that person may not qualify as "gravely disabled."The Reiners were housing Nick. Feeding him. Caring for him. And that very act of love may have disqualified him from continued involuntary treatment.We also examine the reported medication change approximately one month before the December 14th killings. Sources say Nick's previous medication was working but caused weight gain. The new medication allegedly made him agitated, erratic, and triggered what one source called a "complete break from reality."Former defense attorney Alan Jackson said Nick is "not guilty of murder" under California law. This conservatorship history will be the foundation of that defense. Nick Reiner's arraignment is scheduled for February 23rd.#TrueCrimeToday #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #BreakingNews #Conservatorship #MentalHealthCrisis #CaliforniaLaw #TrueCrime #CriminalJusticeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Parents, are you tired of constantly putting out fires and reacting in the moment? What if there's a better way to raise kids—one that shapes their hearts, builds character, and points them to God from the inside out? In this episode, Abbey Wedgeworth, author of the Training Young Hearts series as well as her upcoming release “Help! I'm Ruining My Kids,” joins us to unpack practical, intentional habits that help parents guide their children before chaos erupts. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why reactive parenting keeps you exhausted and frustrated How small, consistent habits can shape your child's heart for life Practical “training refrains” you can start using today Stories from real-life parenting wins and funny surprises Scripture-based strategies for raising kids without guilt or perfectionism How to cultivate character and point your kids to Jesus every day Plus: Fun moments with Abbey, including our 2 Truths and a Lie game and a lightning round of parenting questions to inspire laughter, reflection, and encouragement. Takeaway: You're not just raising kids—you're raising hearts for God. Start small, stay consistent, and watch Him work in the everyday moments. Scripture Inspiration: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6  

Send one way text to Rev Rachel If you're an empath, a people-pleaser, or someone healing from codependency, you know how quickly another person's mood can affect your own.In this episode, I share a very real moment from my own life that happened on my birthday, when my husband had a tense reaction over a small laundry mishap. It wasn't a big moment, but it was a familiar one. His frustration immediately shifted the energy in the room, and I could feel my old patterns wanting to take over, the urge to fix it, smooth it over, or make it better and to make it my fault.What made this moment different is that I stayed present with myself.This episode is about learning how to stay grounded when someone you love is frustrated or upset, without absorbing their energy, abandoning yourself, or shutting down emotionally. It's about allowing others to have their feelings while learning that you don't have to carry them.Through the lens of the Recover Your Soul Process, we explore how acceptance, awareness, and loving boundaries help us respond differently. Not perfectly, but consciously. Not by disconnecting, but by staying rooted in compassion and self-trust using loving detachment.Healing doesn't mean the people in our lives will never be frustrated again. It means we no longer lose ourselves when they are.You are allowed to be okay even wRecover Your SOUL CIRCLE Group coaching with Rev Rachel is now open for enrollment.Join a sacred space to deepen your healing, connect in community, and walk the Recover Your Soul Process together:  1.

Send a text to Melissa and she'll answer it on the next episode. Let's talk honestly about constipation—what's truly normal, what's not, and how to get back to regular without relying on harsh laxatives. We break down the real signs of constipation beyond just “skipping days,” including hard, dry stools, straining, incomplete emptying, or no urge at all, and we map those patterns to targeted homeopathic remedies that support the body rather than forcing it.We walk through practical matches: Nux vomica for tense, irritable, stressed-out “always urging, never empty” patterns; Bryonia for dryness and pain that worsen with movement; Alumina when there's no urge and sluggish bowels; Silica for the “bashful stool” that slips back in; Opium for severe sluggishness after anesthesia or medications; Calc Carb for slow metabolism and large, painful stools, especially in kids; and Lycopodium for afternoon bloating, trapped gas, and IBS-like discomfort. Along the way, we share how to choose potencies and frequency with a light, sensible touch.Beyond remedies, we dig into the everyday shifts that make a big difference: choosing the right magnesium and pairing it with Mag phos, staying truly hydrated, using warm lemon water to prime digestion, and leaning on fruit like prunes, pears, kiwi, and berries. Movement matters more than most people realize, so we offer simple ideas—from walking to gentle squats—to nudge peristalsis. Parents will find guidance for easing fear and withholding in kids with kindness and flexible strategies.We also flag when to seek medical input: blood in stool, severe pain, more than five days without a bowel movement, unexplained weight loss, or recurring episodes. Most of all, we connect the dots between elimination and whole-body health—mood, skin, energy—so you can move from coping to confident. If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs relief, and leave a quick review so more people can find these practical tools.You may also gain Access to my Fullscript dispensary and save 30% by going to: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/mcrenshawFIND ME!

We spreak with  Marissa Streit, CEO of PragerU   about education, civics, and parenting in a time of cultural chaos.

Our discussion also explores he crisis facing young women today—marriage, meaning, dignity, and femininity—and why Marissa believes a new "revolution" is needed. Plus: practical ways to use PragerU at home in just 5–20 minutes a day. https://www.prageru.com Timestamps & Key Moments 00:04 — Intro + Who is Marissa Streit / What is PragerU Polina introduces Marissa, PragerU's mission, and why parents must take a more active role in teaching civics/history. 02:14 — "Enlisting" through education We reflect on the idea of serving the country through education. 04:36 — The conversation begins (education + what parents can do) Marissa lays out her core claim: education didn't just reflect today's problems—it helped create them. 06:28 — Marissa's origin story: Yad Vashem + the lesson of "fight before it's too late" A formative moment at 13 shapes her worldview about personal responsibility and courage. 08:55 — America "under attack" through ideas, not tanks Marissa argues civics and American values are not being taught—and that creates vulnerability. 11:14 — Parents as "the enemy" + the COVID wake-up call She describes how many parents only saw curriculum issues during lockdowns. 15:41 — Teacher training: minimal math instruction + "generative" activism in class Marissa claims teacher credential programs under-train basic instruction and over-emphasize DEI/activism. 17:59 — "Fruit salad" vs. melting pot + division as a goal She argues schools incentivize identity and class division rather than unity. 20:16 — Literacy example: books that embed social agendas Marissa cites specific book examples and argues parents must review all subjects, not just "sex ed." 22:32 — Paulo Freire + teachers as "agents of change" Discussion of how activist pedagogy shows up in teacher training. 24:55 — NEA agenda + what shocked her most (2022) Marissa claims the #1 issue of business was the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and questions why. 29:45 — Money + bureaucracy + unions + political incentives A broader critique of the Department of Education, unions, and the "cycle" of funding and influence. 32:01 — "Are we being gaslit?" + PRISM training (California) Marissa argues parents should read the materials directly and not accept reassurances at face value. 38:32 — Civics collapse: how do kids defend what they don't understand? Marissa argues love of country requires understanding its history and founding ideals. 40:53 — The parent solution: rituals, debates, voting, family civic life + PragerU board game She emphasizes bottom-up responsibility and teaching at home regardless of school quality. 45:20 — Young women, feminism, marriage, and meaning Marissa argues cultural messaging has created confusion and loneliness; she shares her desire to write a book to help young women. 50:01 — Family as her proudest accomplishment Marissa describes motherhood and marriage as central—not secondary—to a fulfilled life. 54:43 — Europe as a warning Marissa talks about cultural fracture, immigration, and the need for shared civic identity. 57:02 — Cultural literacy: "We all spoke American" She argues a shared framework is necessary for cohesion—and that education must restore it. 59:23 — How to use PragerU as a parent Marissa offers a simple daily habit: 5–20 minutes, watch a short video, and have kids explain it back. 01:01:22 — Closing + call for feedback Marissa invites listeners to message her with thoughts, especially on her women-focused project. Key Quotes "Education got us into this mess. Education is going to get us out of this mess." (≈ 04:36) "Most people rely on others to do the fighting for them… and they don't begin to fight until it's absolutely too late." (≈ 06:28) "America… is being taken down through ideas, through the erosion of what it is to be an American." (≈ 08:55) "Civics education is reduced to just activism… How do you defend a country that you don't understand and don't love?" (≈ 38:32)

At a few points during the night, the mob attempted to break down the perimeter fence surrounding the complex, while other crowds damaged vehicles entering and exiting the facility.To the south, a total of 11x vehicles were vandalized at the Residence Inn in Eagan overnight, after far-left intelligence networks identified this facility as hosting ICE agents.Analyst Comment: It's not clear as to if this was actually a positive ID on the behalf of the vandals; this could have just been a collection of random vehicles, but that did not seem to matter at the time of the vandalism.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Minneapolis, a new tactic is making an emergence among activist groups that are tailing ICE convoys. The general tactic of conducting reconnaissance to figure out where ICE vehicles are going continues, but because most of the activists are not the brightest bunch, they have sometimes been following around random vehicles, such as general contractors and random citizens going about their day. This has escalated to now include multiple reports of insurgents harassing citizens and forcing them to prove that they aren't ICE agents, and even after doing so, citizens continue to be harassed by militant activists simply for driving a vehicle that looks like it might potentially be used by ICE.On the political front, local reports indicate that the school systems have become directly involved in stoking unrest, and encouraging schoolchildren to commit felonies. Parents in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area have reported teachers giving their children whistles, and literature encouraging them to stalk, harass, and interfere with ICE operations. Several school districts within the Twin Cities area have also transitioned to online classes, deliberately for the purpose of shielding illegal families from ICE operations. Even though ICE has not conducted a single raid at any school in the United States, this rhetoric is actively being pushed by city officials. With the weekend arriving (which is also a holiday weekend), and with the knowledge that many "youths" will not be in school during the day, next week will probably result in an increase in activity throughout the city.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

Parents of under-fives in England are to be offered official advice on how long their children should spend watching TV or looking at computer screens. It comes as government research shows about 98% of children under two were watching screens on a daily basis - with parents, teachers and nursery staff saying youngsters were finding it harder to hold conversations or concentrate on learning. To discuss this further Nuala McGovern is joined by Kate Silverton, child counsellor and parenting author, and Professor Sonia Livingstone from the London School of Economics and author of Parenting for a Digital Future. In 2025 alone she walked at Paris Fashion Week, spoke at the United Nations about face equality and won 'Fashion and beauty influencer of the year' at the the UK and Ireland TikTok awards, all while managing a chronic illness. Nikki Lilly is a Bafta and Emmy award-winner, an influencer and a campaigner and she joined Anita Rani in the studio.The latest series of The Traitors has sparked controversy after two black women, Netty and Judy, were the first to leave – one ‘murdered' by the Traitors and the other banished at the roundtable. The debate goes beyond the game - is it exposing unconscious bias and raising bigger questions? Do reality TV shows like this hold up a mirror to society, revealing uncomfortable truths around racism, misogyny, and ageism? Author and arts columnist at the Independent Micha Frazer-Carroll and freelance writer Chloe Laws, who have both written on this topic and are both fans of the show, discuss.What happens if the person you're in a relationship with doesn't quite meet all the qualities you look for in a long-term partner? Do you stay anyway? Journalist Eve Simmons has recently written about this in her new book, ‘What She Did Next', which looks at why millennial women might settle for what she calls ‘subpar' relationships. Nuala was also joined by psychotherapist and broadcaster Lucy Beresford who believes it may not just be women settling for less.Miss Marple and Poirot have been household names for decades but now one of Agatha Christie's lesser-known sleuths – Lady Eileen ‘Bundle' Brent - is finally getting her time in the spotlight. The fearless young amateur detective is the focus of new Netflix mystery series Seven Dials. Mia McKenna-Bruce is the award-winning actor bringing ‘Bundle' to the screen, alongside Helena Bonham-Carter and Martin Freeman, and Mia joined presenter Nuala live in the studio.The Ayoub Sisters are Scottish Egyptian siblings Sarah and Laura Ayoub who play cello and violin. Their debut album was recorded in Abbey Road Studios with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Their second album, Arabesque, was released independently and went to number one in the iTunes chart. They are about to undertake a UK tour to celebrate their 10th anniversary, which will include the premiere of their Arabic Symphony in a homecoming concert in Glasgow.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells

Welcome to Akshar Se Avsar Tak, a podcast by The Good Sight.In Episode 2, we turn our focus to घर और स्कूल की भूमिका (The Role of Parents & Teachers) in strengthening Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN).Our guest, Poornima Garg, Country Director, Room to Read India, shares practical insights on how parents and teachers together can build strong early learning foundations for children. The conversation explores the critical role parents play in supporting FLN at home, even when time or formal teaching methods feel out of reach. We also discuss how early-grade teachers can use simple, engaging classroom activities to nurture reading, numeracy, and comprehension skills.The episode reflects on a common concern raised by many parents—that they want to help but don't always know how. Poornima Garg offers easy, realistic ways families can integrate FLN into everyday routines, without pressure or rote methods. The discussion further highlights the importance of a shared school–family approach, where both work in partnership to create consistent, meaningful learning experiences for children.At its core, this episode reinforces a simple idea: when homes and schools work together, children gain not just academic skills, but also confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning that lasts beyond the classroom.CreditsGuest: Poornima GargHost: Shreya MResearch: Alisha CProduced by: The Good SightConcept: The Good SightFor feedback or to participate, write to us at contact@thegoodsight.org#FLN #AksharSeAvsarTak #EarlyLearning #ParentsAndTeachers #RoomToRead #FoundationalLearning

Are you raising your kids to become mentally strong adults? It's tough to do in today's world for so many reasons. But we owe it to kids to give them the skills they need to manage their emotions, think rationally, and take the productive action they need to live their best lives. Unfortunately, many of today's most common parenting practices are robbing kids of the mental strength they need to thrive.

In today's episode, I explore an important topic in modern parenting: the importance of struggle, and how easily it's being lost in a world shaped by convenience, technology, and AI. While AI is part of the conversation, this episode goes deeper, focusing on what happens when children no longer get enough practice doing hard things.I explain why struggle is not a problem to eliminate, but a critical part of healthy brain development. When kids wrestle with challenges, frustration, effort, and uncertainty, they build resilience, problem-solving skills, emotional regulation, and confidence. These capacities don't come from ease or shortcuts, they come from experience.The episode gently challenges the instinct to smooth the path too much for our children, especially when tools like AI can quickly remove discomfort. Throughout the conversation, the message is clear: kids don't need life to be harder, but they do need meaningful struggle. When parents stay present, encouraging, and regulated, children learn that they can tolerate difficulty and come out stronger on the other side.Jennifer's Takeaways:The Importance of Struggle in Parenting (00:00)Understanding Dopamine and Its Role in Motivation (00:48)The Impact of Technology on Children's Motivation (03:37)The Concept of Optimal Frustration (05:33)The Role of AI in Education and Parenting (09:13)Building Resilience and Mental Health (14:13)The Importance of Valuing the Process Over the Outcome (14:50)The Role of Parents in Guiding Children's Development (19:44)The Impact of AI on Emotional Maturity and Resilience (19:56)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

Surro Connections was once a reputable surrogacy agency that operated out of Camas, Washington. The company helped match surrogates with prospective parents and facilitated communication and payments between them. But the agency abruptly closed late last year, leaving clients without access to the tens of thousands of dollars needed to pay the surrogates carrying their children. The whereabouts of the company’s founder, Megan Hall-Greenberg, are unknown. Investigative health care reporter Sarah Kliff talked to clients, surrogates and former employees of Surro Connections for the New York Times. She joins us with more details about the closure and the largely unregulated surrogacy industry in the U.S.
