Your contractor is probably recommending spray foam insulation without telling you about the class action lawsuits, permanent installation risks, and potential for years of toxic off-gassing.In today's episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about spray foam insulation before making this permanent decision for your home. While spray foam offers excellent performance as an air barrier, vapor retarder, and insulation all in one, there are serious downsides that most contractors don't discuss: it's permanent (requiring expensive remediation to remove), it can off-gas for years if improperly mixed, and it requires perfect application to avoid moisture trapping and mold issues.The biggest problem I see is that spray foam isn't just a simple material swap during construction. Closed cell and open cell spray foam have completely different R-values and permeability ratings, and you can't just decide mid-construction to switch to mineral wool or fiberglass without redesigning your entire building assembly. This conversation needs to happen during the design phase, not when your contractor is ready to spray.In today's episode, we're chatting about: • Why closed cell vs. open cell spray foam aren't interchangeable (and how this affects your building plans) • The verification protocols every spray foam project needs (including third-party testing) • Safer alternatives to spray foam and why they cost 30-50% more • How to spot greenwashing in "non-toxic" spray foam marketing • The real costs of spray foam failures and why perfect application is critical

EPISODE 86 DETAILS Agridime Order To Pay Millions In Cattle Ponzi Scheme A Texas federal court has issued a final judgment against Agridime LLC, a Fort Worth-based company, permanently banning it from commodity trading. The ruling also mandates the company to pay more than $102.9 million in restitution to defrauded customers, according to recent court documents. CFTC Alleges $161 Million Cattle Investment Fraud The final judgment stems from a May 2024 complaint filed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The CFTC alleged that Agridime, along with co-founders Joshua Link and Jed Wood, orchestrated a cattle investment scheme that defrauded over 2,000 individuals out of approximately $161 million. According to the CFTC, Agridime falsely marketed cattle investment opportunities by promising annual returns between 15% and 32% on $2,000 cattle purchases. The company allegedly used funds from new customers to pay existing investors, a structure that resembles a classic Ponzi scheme. Insider Commissions and Misuse of Funds Revealed The court filings also revealed that Agridime insiders diverted approximately $11 million in undisclosed commissions. These insider payments were never disclosed to investors, contributing further to the scheme's deception and financial harm to participants. Agridime Settles Case Without Admitting or Denying Allegations Agridime LLC settled the case with the CFTC without admitting or denying the allegations. As part of the settlement, the company agreed to: Permanent injunctive relief Waiver of its right to appeal A permanent ban from commodity trading Prohibition on soliciting investment funds or acting in any CFTC-registered capacity A ban on publicly denying the CFTC's allegations The company must also ensure that all employees and agents comply with the judgment's terms. Agridime Banned from Commodity Markets for Good With the court's final ruling, Agridime is permanently banned from participating in any form of commodity trading. This includes solicitation of funds, registration with the CFTC, and any related investment activity. The CFTC emphasized that the company's future conduct will be closely monitored to ensure compliance.

Nakba is Arabic for the 1948 catastrophe. where 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled and driven from their ancestral homes and lands. Today, 77 years later, the Nakba continues. This time, aided and abetted by the U.S., Israel declares it has "the most moral army in the world, which does everything to avoid harming non-combatants.” Watch Al Jazeera or read the reports from Amnesty International, B'Tselem or Gush Shalom and other human rights organizations to verify the Israeli claim. Netanyahu has declared that there will be no Palestinian state and that Israel will control Gaza. Will there ever be a viable Palestinian state? The keyword is viable, not just a collection of Bantustans crisscrossed by Israeli-only roads, walls, barriers and checkpoints. What will be the fate of millions of Palestinians? Is the Nakba permanent?

In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, hosts Dan and Jason discuss their recent experiences, including family activities and the challenges of balancing life with hunting. They delve into the importance of finding time to decompress during hunting season and share strategies for tree stand and saddle placement. The conversation also covers concealment techniques, shooting lane considerations, and the differences between permanent and mobile hunting setups, providing valuable insights for both novice and experienced hunters. In this conversation, Dan and Jason delve into the intricacies of tree stand placement, movement, and comfort while hunting. They discuss the importance of optimizing tree stand locations, the pros and cons of using saddles versus traditional tree stands, and the critical role of noise and movement in deer hunting. The conversation also touches on the strategic use of trail cameras, the significance of food plot placement, and the necessity of safe practices when setting up tree stands. Overall, the discussion provides valuable insights for hunters looking to enhance their strategies and ensure safety in the field. Takeaways: Finding balance between family life and hunting is challenging. Decompression time during hunting season is essential. Tree stand placement should consider deer movement and concealment. Using evergreen trees can provide better cover for hunters. Shooting lanes should be trimmed to allow for natural deer movement. Mobile hunting requires adaptability and quick decision-making. Pruners are essential for adjusting setups in the field. Concealment can be enhanced with creative cover solutions. Permanent stands require more planning and thought. Understanding the landscape is crucial for successful hunting. Tree stand placement is crucial for successful hunting. Cover shiny labels on gear to avoid detection by deer. Comfort in the tree stand can affect hunting success. Movement in the tree can be more pronounced in saddles. Noise from equipment can alert deer more than movement. Saddles offer mobility but require practice to master. Trail cameras should be placed strategically away from stands. Food plots should be located based on deer movement patterns. Access and exit routes are vital for minimizing deer disturbance. Safety precautions are essential when setting up tree stands. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Lancet Volume 353, Issue 9146 p9-13 January 02, 1999Background: Accumulating data at the time suggested functional benefits of antagonism of beta-adrenoreceptors in patients with heart failure. Multiple specific beta-blockers were being tested in trials. The CIBIS 1 trial found a trend towards 20% lower mortality in the bisoprolol (a highly cardio-selective beta-blocker) group and 30% fewer admissions to hospital for worsening heart failure. The Cardiac Insufficiency Bisoprolol Study II (CIBIS-II) trial was designed to test this evidence further.Patients Eligible patients had New York Heart Association Class III-IV symptoms with LVEF ≤ 35% and were stable on diuretics and ACE-inhibitors. Exclusion criteria included recent MI or coronary intervention, AV block or resting heart rate less 60 bpm and systolic BP < 100 mmHg. Patients already on beta-blockers or with planned therapy with beta-blockers were also not enrolled.Cardiology Trial's remains independent, free of industry ads, due to reader generosity. Please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Baseline Characteristics The mean age of patients was 61 years, 81% male, and 83% Class III. The mean LVEF was 28%. About half the patients had ischemic heart disease, 12% primary dilated cardiomyopathy and nearly 40% had a mixture of valvular heart disease, hypertensive heart disease or unproven ischemic disease.The mean SBP on enrollment was 130 mmHg and resting HR was 80 bpm. The mean duration of heart failure before enrollment was 3.5 years. About 20% had AF at baseline. Nearly all patients were on ACE-I and half were on digoxin.Trial Procedures There was no run-in period. CIBIS II was double blinded. Slightly more than 2,600 patients were randomized 1:1 to bisoprolol or placebo in 274 hospitals across 18 countries.Patients in the bisoprolol group were started at 1.25 mg daily and titrated up weekly to as high as 10 mg daily. The goal was to attempt the highest tolerated dose. Patients were seen every 3 months.Endpoints The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Secondary endpoints included all-cause hospital admissions, cardiovascular mortality, combined CV death and CV hospital admissions, and premature treatment withdrawals.The authors estimated a 11.2% mortality in the placebo group and powered the trial to find a 25% reduction in death in the bisoprolol arm over 2 years.Results The trial was sopped early (mean follow-up 1.3 years) after the planned second interim analysis for benefit. The primary outcome of all-cause death occurred in 11.8% in the bisoprolol group vs 17.3% in the placebo arm (HR 0.66 (95% CI 0.54-0.81, p < 0.0001)).Bisoprolol reduced sudden death (3.6% vs 6.3%), all-cause hospitalization (33% vs 39%), CV death (9% vs 12%). Permanent treatment withdrawal occurred in 15% of both arms.The subgroup analysis showed no substantial treatment heterogeneity. The most common dose was 10 mg daily reached in 43% of patients.Conclusion The 34% reduction in death was clinically meaningful and statistically robust. Our confidence in such a large effect size stems from a) previous data on beta-blockers, which found similar effects, b) the 42% reduction in sudden death in the bisoprolol arm and c) the large reductions in all-cause hospitalization. In addition, the trial conduct appeared strong with almost no lost-to-follow up. The lack of run-in period strengthens the external validity of CIBIS II.The same caveats seen in the US carvedilol trial also apply to CIBIS II, namely that patients were ambulatory, outpatients, mostly with Class III symptoms. Patients enrolled in the trial had a mean SBP of 130 mmHg and a resting heart rate of 80. Nearly all patients were tolerating ACE-I and half were taking digoxin. In addition, patients were started on low-dose and gradually titrated higher. The majority of patients were on higher than 5 mg daily.The authors warned against applying these results to non-ambulatory patients with Class IV symptoms, especially if there was recent instability.

Victoria has confirmed plans to open its first fixed pill-testing site in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most popular nightlife areas.The service will offer testing for most substances - and act as an early detection point for authorities on the lookout for highly dangerous synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and Nitazenes, which can be mixed with other drugs. The decision puts Victoria in a unique position on drug policy, as Australia's states and territories grapple with how to balance harm minimisation with increasingly tough law and order approaches.
The show opens with a breakdown of all the violence that took place during the No Kings bought-and-paid-for protests, including the assassinations of two Minnesota lawmakers and more attempts by a Leftist lunatic. And Democrats tried to spend the weekend telling us how they are the party of peace, love and joy. Mel Gibson put out a video asking why his fellow Angelenos tolerate poor leadership. He also hints that their decision-making might be even more malevolent than that. We know the Left loves their permanent under-class and wants to keep them under their thumb. French president Macron asked the Israeli display at a weapons convention be covered up to hide their display of missiles. So, Israel used the moment to troll him right back. We spend some additional time on the back and forth between Iran and Israel and get some thoughts from Victor Davis Hanson. We end with a female state broadcaster in Tehran as their building is targeted and taken offline. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

In this address delivered at the Academy of Philosophy and Letters conference on June 5, 2025, Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts lays out a clear and unapologetic roadmap for rebuilding the American republic. The speech—“America's Golden Age: A Return to the Permanent Things”—calls conservatives to reject the stale, consultant-driven playbook of the past and instead lead with moral clarity, intellectual courage, and unshakable conviction. Dr. Roberts makes the case that our national revival won't come from Washington, Wall Street, or Silicon Valley—but from Main Street. From families, churches, schools, and communities rooted in timeless truths. This is not a moment for caution. It's a moment for boldness. For reclaiming our country through the very things that made it great: faith, family, freedom, and ordered liberty.

There's been a lot of discussion and concerns about the long-term effects of vaping of late, especially regarding young people. New research has started to uncover potential long-term problems with vaping. What is the problem with vaping? It was introduced as a “quit smoking” tool and was accepted to be less harmful than smoking. Useful as a quit smoking tool, as a substitute for cigarettes . However, the growing issue in NZ is young people taking up vaping who would otherwise not smoke. Surveys indicate that 26.5% of 18–24-year-olds and 10% of 14–18-year-olds vape daily. Concerns if there would be long-term effects on these young people. Is it addictive? Many vapes have nicotine which is highly addictive. Increasing reports of people not being able to get off vapes. We know nicotine can cause concerns over brain development, increased risk of anxiety, raise blood pressure, and increased heartrates. Vapes can irritate the lungs, causing coughs and even some concerns over increased risk of collapsed lungs. A new study has started to shed light A new study out of Oxford University has identified long term harm from vaping alone. It followed nearly 250,000 individuals who vaped, over four years. Major finding: vapers are 2.29 times more likely to develop Chronic Obstructive Airways Disease – COPD. COPD is often referred to as emphysema: lungs stiffen, lots of mucous, recurrent infections, and reduced ability to get oxygen into the blood stream due to lung damage. Permanent damage. Among 30-70-year-olds, they're 1.39 times more likely to have high blood pressure. Implications of this? Obviously, it's an issue for the number of young teenagers taking up vaping and an emerging health issue overall. We need to think hard about our approach to vaping – Australia has made vaping prescription only. Restrictions have been put in place in New Zealand.

In the latest episode of Working People, we go back to the picket line to get a critical update on the longest ongoing strike in the United States. In October 2022, over 100 workers represented by five labor unions—including production, distribution, advertising, and accounts receivable staff—walked off the job on an unfair labor practice strike at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (PPG). The strike began after the newspaper's management, Block Communications, which is owned by the Block family, cut off health insurance for employees on Oct. 1 of that year. After more than 2.5 years on strike, with other unions reaching contracts or taking buyouts and dissolving their units, workers represented by the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh are the last remaining strikers holding the line. We speak with a panel of union officers for the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh about how they've managed to stay on strike so long and about recent legal updates that have given them hope that an acceptable end to the strike may be on the horizon. Panelists include: Ed Blazina, striking transportation writer at the PPG and one of the Vice Presidents of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh; Erin Hebert, also one of the Vice Presidents of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh and a striking copy-editor and page designer at PPG; Emily Matthews, photographer on strike and treasurer for the Post-Gazette Unit of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh.

The hosts break down the key points of the bill, highlighting the benefits, such as extending lower tax rates, eliminating taxes on tips and Social Security (for specific income brackets), and promoting economic growth through investment and job creation. They also don't shy away from discussing the most significant controversies, including the projected impact on the federal deficit and the heated debate over state and local tax (SALT) deductions. Plus, Tony and Derek share their candid thoughts on how these changes could affect the everyday American, the stock market, and America's global competitiveness. It's a passionate, unfiltered discussion on taxes, fiscal responsibility, and what it all means for your wallet and the country's future.

Send us a textClick to Join PMDD Power Couples Click to Book a Private PMDD SessionFollow me on InstagramFollow me on TikTokHave you ever found yourself caught in the cycle of monthly PMDD breakup threats that never materialize into actual separations? That pattern can create a dangerous desensitization where neither partner recognizes when a real, permanent breakup is happening.The line between an emotionally-charged luteal phase breakup discussion and a genuine relationship ending isn't always clear—but there are definitive signs that indicate when a PMDD relationship is genuinely concluding rather than just weathering another hormonal storm. Unlike the heated, reactive breakup threats during PMDD episodes, permanent separations often come with a peaceful resignation and emotional detachment that feels distinctly different.Through my 19+ years of experiencing PMDD and counseling hundreds of PMDD sufferers and their partners, I've identified key warning signs: complete loss of hope for improvement, feeling unsafe to be vulnerable both during and outside luteal phases, relationships that actively worsen your symptoms, cessation of future planning, and a pervasive sense that you're disconnecting from each other physically and emotionally. Most importantly, I explore the difficult truth that not everyone is equipped to be a supportive PMDD partner—and that's not a moral failing, just a compatibility reality.If you recognize these patterns in your own relationship, don't wait until it's too late. The right support from someone who understands the unique challenges of PMDD relationships can help you determine whether to repair what's broken or compassionately release each other. Visit inlovewithpmdd.com to explore counseling options specifically tailored for PMDD relationships, because healing is possible—but only with the right tools and commitment from both partners.

In the latest episode of Working People, we go back to the picket line to get a critical update on the longest ongoing strike in the United States. In October 2022, over 100 workers represented by five labor unions—including production, distribution, advertising, and accounts receivable staff—walked off the job on an unfair labor practice strike at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (PPG). The strike began after the newspaper's management, Block Communications, which is owned by the Block family, cut off health insurance for employees on Oct. 1. After more than 2.5 years on strike, with other unions reaching contracts or taking buyouts and dissolving their units, workers represented by the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh are the last remaining strikers holding the line. We speak with a panel of union officers for the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh about how they've managed to stay on strike so long and about recent legal updates that have given them hope that an acceptable end to the strike may be on the horizon. Panelists include: Ed Blazina, striking transportation writer at the PPG and one of the Vice Presidents of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh; Erin Hebert, also one of the Vice Presidents of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh and a striking copy-editor and page designer at PPG; Emily Matthews, photographer on strike and treasurer for the Post-Gazette Unit of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh.

At this very moment, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip who have managed to survive Israel's scorched-earth siege and bombing are being deliberately starved to death as a result of Israel's 11-week blockade preventing food and aid from entering Gaza. As Jem Bartholemew writes at The Guardian, “The UN's humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, told the BBC [Tuesday] morning that 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in 48 hours if aid did not reach them in time. Five aid trucks entered Gaza on Monday but Fletcher described this as a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for the population's needs.” In response to this dire humanitarian crisis, students at multiple university campuses in the US have launched hunger strikes in solidarity with the starving people of Gaza. In this urgent episode, we speak with four hunger strikers at the University of Oregon (UO), including: Cole, Sadie, and Efron, three undergraduate students who are all members of Jewish Voice for Peace - UO and who just completed a 60-hour solidarity hunger strike; and Phia, a Palestinian-American undergraduate student who has organized with JVP-UO on the hunger strike and who currently remains on hunger strike herself.Additional links/info: UO Gaza Hunger Strike Instagram and TikTok UO Gaza Hunger Strike: Community Calls to Action!

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts: ihr.fm/3InlkL8 Is The Big Beautiful Bill Bloated? The hour kicks off with a detailed discussion of what President Donald Trump has dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping piece of legislation currently under debate on Capitol Hill. President Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, and other GOP leaders are rallying behind the bill, which includes major tax cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and incentives aimed at boosting the U.S. economy. The hosts predict the bill will pass, likening the political theatrics to previous debt ceiling and speaker vote showdowns. Key highlights of the bill include: Permanent extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts Elimination of taxes on tips Adjustments to SALT (state and local tax) deductions Phased elimination of EV and green energy tax credits Increased funding for defense and immigration enforcement Tightening of SNAP (food stamp) eligibility A $4 trillion increase in the debt ceiling Buck Sexton shares insights from a recent interview with the head of the National Economic Council, emphasizing that the bill could result in $7,000–$12,000 in annual savings for the average American household. However, both hosts acknowledge conservative criticism over the bill’s lack of deeper spending cuts and its continuation of certain green energy subsidies. Democrats Don't Believe Illegal Immigration is a Crime Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dive deep into the explosive political and legal controversy surrounding Congresswoman LaMonica McIver’s arrest for allegedly obstructing ICE agents during a detention center visit. Hosts Clay and Buck analyze the implications of her actions, highlighting the irony of her past “no one is above the law” rhetoric—previously aimed at Donald Trump—now being turned against her. They explore the broader theme of political hypocrisy and the consequences of “lawfare,” emphasizing how Democrats are now facing the same legal tactics they once championed. The hour also features a sharp critique of the Democratic Party’s stance on illegal immigration. Clay and Buck argue that Democrats no longer view illegal immigration as a crime, citing McIver’s confrontation with ICE as emblematic of a broader ideological shift. They question why Democratic leaders prioritize the rights of non-citizens over the needs of underserved American communities, particularly Black constituents in urban districts like McIver’s New Jersey 10th, which is nearly 50% Black. The hosts suggest that this disconnect may be driving more minority voters toward the GOP, referencing recent political shifts in cities like New York and Chicago. Tom Homan, former acting ICE director, is featured in a clip reinforcing the legal boundaries McIver allegedly crossed, underscoring the seriousness of interfering with federal law enforcement. The discussion then pivots to the racial and ideological motivations behind Democratic immigration policies, with Buck asserting that modern leftist movements have replaced class solidarity with race-based solidarity, often to the detriment of their own constituents. This is a Crazy Story Clay and Buck dive into the intersection of sports, culture, and politics, delivering a compelling mix of commentary and breaking news. This hour kicks off with a heated discussion surrounding the viral WNBA incident involving Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, which sparked a broader cultural debate. The hosts analyze the fallout from ESPN personalities Robert Griffin III and Ryan Clark, highlighting the racial and personal tensions that erupted over a simple foul in a women’s basketball game. The segment underscores how Clark’s rising stardom is reshaping the WNBA and exposing underlying resentments within the league. The conversation transitions into a broader cultural critique, with Clay and Buck exploring how race, media narratives, and sports collide in today’s polarized environment. They draw parallels to historical moments in tennis and golf, emphasizing how stars like Serena Williams and Tiger Woods were embraced across racial lines—contrasting that with the current backlash against Clark. James Blair, WH Deputy Chief of Staff, on Clean Up in Aisle Biden The hosts welcome White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair, who provides exclusive insights into the forthcoming “Big Beautiful Bill.” Blair outlines the bill’s key components, including historic middle-class tax cuts, increased border security funding, military modernization, and aggressive fiscal reforms aimed at reducing the national deficit. He also teases the potential announcement of the “Golden Dome” missile defense initiative, likened to Israel’s Iron Dome, as part of President Trump’s broader national security strategy.

The president is declaring emergencies on everything from an “invasion” of immigrants to a mythical shortage of fossil fuel production. But it's all just a ploy for him to act like a Roman emperor.

“Labor's decline over the past half century has devastated working-class communities, undermined democracy, and deepened the grip of big business over our work lives, ourpolitical system, and our planet,” Eric Blanc writes in his new book, We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing Is Revitalizing Labor and Winning Big. “To turn this around, we need tens of millions more people forming, joining, and transforming unions”; however, to achieve that level of growth, “a new unionization model is necessary because the only way to build power at scale is by relying less on paid full-timers and more on workers.” In this episode of Working People, recorded at Red Emma's Cooperative Bookstore in Baltimore on March 27, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Blanc about his book and how worker-to-worker organizing campaigns at companies like Starbucks and Amazon are breathing life back into the labor movement.Eric Blanc is Assistant Professor of Labor Studies at Rutgers University, an organizer trainer in the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee, author of Red State Revolt: The Teachers' Strike Wave and Working-Class Politics, and director of the Worker to Worker Collaborative.Additional links/info:Eric Blanc website, Facebook page, and X pageEmergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) websiteRed Emma's website, Facebook page, X page, and InstagramEric Blanc, University of California Press, We Are the Union: How Worker-to-Worker Organizing Is Revitalizing Labor and Winning BigEric Blanc, Jacobin, “Bet on Worker-to-Worker Organizing”Maximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “Want to unionize your workplace?
