What does God have planned for you next—and what might He be doing in you right now?Pastor Conrad Bess teaches from John 15 about what it means to abide in Jesus, trust God through seasons of pruning, and bear lasting fruit. Instead of becoming consumed with what comes next, we can fix our eyes on Jesus and faithfully follow Him today.The life God has for us isn't found by striving on our own. It grows from staying connected to the true Vine. Apart from Jesus we can do nothing, but when we abide in Him, our lives produce fruit that glorifies God and fills us with joy.

This week Chris sits down with Lucy Billingsley, Co-founder and Partner of Billingsley Company, the Dallas development firm she started with her husband Henry in 1978. Lucy is the daughter of Trammell Crow, who built the largest real estate development company in America. She left the family business because she did not want to be a minority vote. She and Henry built their own firm instead, and today they run it with their kids. Billingsley plays a longer game than almost anyone in real estate. They buy land 30 or 40 years before the growth arrives and hold it until the market is ready. Cypress Waters alone is 1,300 acres zoned for 10,000 apartments and over 12 million square feet of office. They discuss:• Why every building they develop goes in the kids' names from day one• The rule that keeps siblings from ever voting on each other's deals• The lake at Cypress Waters they bought for 50 cents a foot• The difference between a park people look at and a park people actually use• Why new office space now rents for more than Dallas has ever seen• Where AI is already saving them real money in construction Timestamps(00:00) Intro(00:52) Building a Family Business and Putting Assets in the Kids' Names(05:55) From the Dallas Market Center Into Development(09:15) Picking Land and Staying Ahead of the Growth Wave(14:33) Designing the Public Arena to Make a Place(18:00) Zoning Is an Art, Not a Guarantee(20:52) What Cities Want and What the State Took Away(22:31) The Future of Office and Why Amenities Win(28:44) How They Decide What to Build and Where to Buy Next(33:15) The Events Business and Public-Private Partnerships(36:52) Buying a Lake for 50 Cents a Foot and Draining It(37:54) Construction Costs and the Frozen Single Family Market(42:07) Reinventing Herself and the Cypress Waters Trail(46:37) Going All In on AI === Presented by True North Advisors:True North Advisors is a multi-family office and private wealth advisory firm serving business owners, entrepreneurs, and families since 2000.

Image: Anti-ICE call center press conference – Nashville District 30 Councilwoman Sandra Sepulveda speaking Image Credit: Nashville Noticas / FacebookTennessee Conservative News [By Olivia Lupia] –Nashville city leaders and leftist activists are looking to oppose a planned ICE call center after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security changed the contract's location from Adams in Montgomery County to Nashville, claiming the facility will bring more harm to immigrant communities and saying they will attempt to legislatively hamstring the project.A federal contract database shows that initially, the $63 million contract for the ICE immigration enforcement support center to Alaska-based company Koniag Government Services listed Adams, TN as the potential location, a rural town along the Kentucky border with a population of about 600. But towards the end of last week, an update to the database listed Nashville as the new location, showing a ZIP code covering the Donelson neighborhood near the Nashville International Airport. DHS has confirmed it is establishing a Public Safety Coordination Center designed to support ICE's 287(g) program not just for the over 100 Tennessee agencies currently enrolled in the program, but nationwide. Through 24/7 operation organized around 8-hour shifts, ICE has said the center is intended to “strengthen coordination” with state and local law enforcement partners across the country.“The center will provide 287(g) partners with real-time operational support, case-related guidance, and direct access to ICE resources, improving response times and ensuring law enforcement has the support needed to protect communities and enforce federal immigration law,” read a department statement.ICE did decline to confirm the specific location, citing a “coordinated campaign of violence” against its officers, a comment corroborated by DHS reports stating officers are facing “an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,300% increase in assaults against them,” as of June 2026.However, the liberal sect of Nashville does not appear pleased with the news, with immigrant advocates and city leadership claiming the center conflicts with the city's values and will “spread fear” in immigrant communities.Several Metro City Council members recently hosted a press conference alongside representatives from the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC), Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors (TJFON), and other “community and faith leaders”, expressing their displeasure with a possible facility and pledging to oppose the center however they can.“This call center is not Nashville, and we will make sure that we do everything in our power so that it is not here, ever. Because we have a responsibility to all Nashvillians, whether they were born here or raised here. They are Nashville,” District 30 Council Member Sandra Sepulveda said. Sepulveda also said they are “currently looking at legislation that would look at any zoning and permitting at this time. So we are in the process of talking to community partners and different Metro officials to see what our path will be. Know that we are here, and we will be fighting with every breath we have until we find solutions.”TJFON Executive Director Tessa Lemos Del Pino said, “The government is required by law to protect children living in this country without a guardian. This is to protect them from abuse, exploitation, or being trafficked. Instead, our government is funding a call center that extensively puts a target on their backs.”But while Del Pino calls it “targeting”, ICE has previously said the national call center will help to locate these vulnerable unaccompanied migrant minors, a task the Trump Administration has taken very seriously. According to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, over 150,000 of 450,000 missing children have been recovered since the beginning of Trump's second term, thanks to a special task force dedicated to the job.A spokesperson from Mayor Freddie O'Connell's office said his office is “still in the process of getting a consistent depiction of what is planned”, though it is likely he will ultimately stand in opposition should the project plans move forward.

We must now defend our government from all attacks both internal and foreign. Here's a stark reveal on what we now face. Our country is under assault by China, with well funded internal players here. Don't take the bait. Leave the infighting alone. Data Republican texts and info have stirred the pot. She is fed information and then paid to spread it. Marco Rubio is now in the crosshairs. This is because Vance will never be President. Reports and white papers abound on what China is funding. Other people are targeting our special envoys. The huge problem for the enemy is lost connections and profitable corruption. Our own people are fighting us. Political funding is corrupt. Act Blue donates in other people's names. Diplomat Christopher Landau in the money and thick of it. Our country has no news media. We have to stick together and defend our people. This is the war we are facing. Now is the time to pray and fight.

Lindsay Clancy's providers never talked to each other. Luigi Mangione confessed to murder and was convicted of stalking. Alex Murdaugh's prosecutor found out about evidence in his own case from the opposing counsel.Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, joins Tony Brueski to cover all three cases in a single conversation.The Clancy trial at Plymouth Superior Court has entered its third week. The testimony has shown four providers prescribing thirteen medications without any coordination. Clancy searched "hallucinations" and "intrusive" on her phone in the days before the killings. She jumped from a window afterward and is permanently paralyzed. The clinical research puts the infanticide rate for postpartum psychosis at four percent. Coffindaffer examines whether planning and psychosis can coexist and what the provider failures tell an investigator.Mangione pleaded guilty in federal court to two stalking counts after telling the judge he killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He posed as a billion-dollar investor to locate the conference. His defense filed a double jeopardy motion within hours to block the state murder case. Since December 2024, he has avoided terrorism charges, a federal murder conviction, and the death penalty. Coffindaffer covers what the timeline of dropped charges looks like from an investigative standpoint.At Murdaugh's pretrial hearing, the defense raised a potential Allendale County weapons connection the prosecution had never heard of. The judge ordered independent DNA testing on Maggie Murdaugh's fingernail evidence and moved the retrial out of the Colleton County circuit entirely. Coffindaffer covers what the hearing says about SLED.Lindsay Clancy and Alex Murdaugh have pleaded not guilty.

Special Thanks To Jeff Snider From Eurodollar University. Check out the video:https://youtu.be/ams5suvGO8I?is=d5vCrI9g0uaRyDOVWelcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, we break down the growing economic turmoil facing the world's two largest economies: the United States and China. With both nations experiencing troubling trends—China hit by a historic pullback in lending and government borrowing, and the U.S. seeing a sharp drop in consumer spending—our guest, Jeff Snider of Eurodollar University, helps us unravel the complex interplay between banking systems, government policy, and national psychology.We'll explore why China's hidden debt crisis and the CCP's response could trigger global ripple effects, how low interest rates signal trouble rather than prosperity, and the critical role expectations play in shaping economic outcomes. Drawing vital parallels between China, Japan's “lost decade,” and the current state of the U.S., we'll discuss what these shifts mean for the future—and for your own financial strategy in uncertain times. Strap in as we connect the macroeconomic dots and reveal why understanding these currents is essential for anyone aiming to thrive in a volatile world.Cash App: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/v6nymgjl #CashAppPod*Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Hi Mamas, ,  Three years ago, I wrote a letter to my future self.  As part of a podcasting course, one of the assignments was to imagine where I'd be one year later. In that letter, I congratulated myself for reaching 100,000 podcast downloads.  There was just one problem...  I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into.  At the time, I had only been listening to podcasts for a few months. I didn't know anything about microphones, editing, downloads, algorithms, or SEO. I wasn't active on social media. I worked a full-time corporate job, and I'm an introvert who has never been particularly comfortable putting myself out there.  I was simply a working mom with a dream.  I thought I'd reach 100,000 downloads in one year.  Instead...  It took me three and a half.  And honestly?  I wouldn't change a thing.  In this very special milestone episode, I'm sharing the story behind the first 100,000 downloads, the dreams I had to put on hold, the one dream I refused to let die, and why I believe a delayed dream is not a dead dream.  This episode isn't really about podcast downloads.  It's about perseverance.  It's about motherhood.  It's about staying committed to the dreams that God—or the universe—placed on your heart, even when life doesn't unfold according to your timeline.  And most importantly...  It's a thank-you.  To every single one of you who has listened, shared, encouraged me, and allowed me to be part of your mornings, your commutes, your workouts, and your life.  From the bottom of my heart...  Thank you.  In This Episode, We Talk About:  The letter I wrote to my future self when I first started my podcast   Why I thought I'd reach 100,000 downloads in just one year   What I didn't know about podcasting when I first started   Balancing a full-time corporate career while building a passion project   The dreams I had to put on hold… and the one I refused to give up   What consistency has taught me over the last 350+ episodes   Why I call my podcast my "nonprofit"   The incredible feeling of reaching listeners in more than 150 countries   Why your dreams don't expire just because life gets busy   Encouragement for anyone who feels like they're behind on their own journey   A Special Thank You  Whether you've been listening since episode one or you just found this podcast yesterday...  Thank you.  Thank you for choosing to spend your time with me.  Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your journey.  Thank you for helping turn a dream that once lived only in a letter into something I never imagined possible.  Here's to the first 100,000 downloads...  And to everything still to come.  One Small Favor ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  If this podcast has ever encouraged you, inspired you, or simply reminded you that you aren't alone, I'd be so grateful if you would take a minute to leave a 5-star rating, especially on Apple Podcasts.  If you have another minute to write a review, that would mean the world to me. Those ratings and reviews help more working moms discover this show and become part of this incredible community.  Let's Connect!

Were Democratic attorneys general preparing to wage a legal battle against Donald Trump before voters even went to the polls? On this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by The Center Square investigative reporter Adam Herbets to discuss documents showing that more than 20 Democratic state attorneys general entered into a common-interest agreement as early as April 2024—months before Donald Trump won the presidential election. The agreement allowed the states to coordinate on what they called “federal accountability projects,” which Herbets says have since resulted in roughly 100 lawsuits against the Trump administration. Herbets explains how the states coordinated their legal strategies, why questions are being raised about taxpayer resources and public-record transparency, and whether these lawsuits are becoming a political and fundraising tool. He also details how states including California and New Jersey allocated additional money toward legal challenges involving the Trump administration. Tudor and Herbets also examine the growing role of money in politics, Gavin Newsom’s fundraising relationships with nonprofits and major corporations, government contracts, and the increasingly blurred line between political influence and public policy. The Tudor Dixon Podcast takes a closer look at the money, political power, and legal battles shaping government—and asks what taxpayers deserve to know about what is happening behind the scenes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I break down the real drivers behind economic systems like socialism and capitalism, tracing how human nature and scarcity have shaped society from the ground up. The conversation focused on why we moved from tribes to feudal kingdoms and eventually to the competitive world of capitalism, and what sparked the rise of Marxism and socialism as reactions to these systems.One concept discussed was the deep psychological desire for security—our evolutionary need to accumulate scarce resources for survival. I explore how this instinct evolved into our modern systems of ownership, productivity, and commerce, arguing that these drives cannot be separated from the systems we build.We also dig into the historical turning points that made the world less violent, allowing individuals to trade and collaborate instead of fighting over resources. Several points were raised, including what happens when economies attempt to centralize decision-making, using real-world examples like East and West Berlin and failed socialist utopias. The discussion explored how innovations—like the limited liability corporation—opened the door for more people to participate in building wealth, and why top-down economic planning always seems to run into the same problems.A key theme that emerged was that while the dream of a fairer system persists, every attempt to replace what exists brings its own set of challenges—often rediscovering the reasons certain structures evolved in the first place. As we consider the future, including the potential of AI to reshape our economies, I challenge listeners to ask: will technology finally solve the problem of scarcity and central control, or will our fundamental need for autonomy always pull us back toward individual freedom and choice?Quince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodWhatnot: Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.Quo: Try for free PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months at https://quo.com/impactIncogni: Take your personal data back with Incogni!

What do you do when you make a beautiful plan for the week…and by Tuesday, everything has changed? Kids get sick. Appointments move. Work takes longer than expected. Your energy changes. And suddenly, the schedule you carefully created no longer works. In this episode of The Classy Career Girl Podcast, I'm sharing the simple weekly planning rhythm I use to stay focused without creating a rigid schedule that falls apart the moment real life happens. You'll learn my 4-part gentle weekly planning system: How to choose your top three priorities for the week Where to put everything else you'd like to accomplish How to batch administrative tasks so they don't take over your week Why family, personal commitments, and time for yourself belong in your plan too How to connect your weekly priorities to your bigger goals Why planning should create peace and clarity—not more pressure The goal isn't to perfectly execute everything you wrote down on Sunday. The goal is to know what matters most so that when life changes, you know what to come back to. Because you probably don't need more hours in your day. You need clarity about what deserves those hours.

On this episode of The Brand Herald, Landon sits down with Abbie Mitchell of Texas Roadhouse to unpack what happens when a brand is ready for a moment it didn't plan. The Goodson team worked with Abbie in her Hyland Insurance days, she now helps lead social for Texas Roadhouse and its sister brands, Bubba's 33 and Jaggers, and she had a front-row seat when a soccer fan in Japan turned a casual steak recommendation into a viral conversation.We start with Abbie's path: a University of Louisville communications grad who built a marketing seat from scratch at a family-owned insurance firm, then landed the digital job that allowed her to work on three brands. She walks through the journey of a growing in-house marketing department that somehow still feels family-owned and how long it really takes to learn the dynamics of a national restaurant brand.The conversation turns practical fast. Abbie breaks down what “owning social” actually means when local stores run their own Facebook pages, why leadership buy-in changed the game more than any single campaign, and how bringing strategy in-house from an agency gave the team room to leave content flexible. Planned posts do fine. The content made in the moment is what performs. Tools like Meltwater and clearer attribution on gift cards helped leadership see social as strategy, not just something you have to do.Then comes Mr. K: a Japan-based soccer account, a World Cup tweet about Texas Roadhouse's “best cost performance steak,” and a social listening alert that snowballed into DMs, a leadership green light, a Dallas store visit, and custom merch turned around in days. Nearly a month later, the conversation was still going with roughly a billion impressions on X alone. Abbie's closer lands harder than any metric: it's okay not to know everything. Lean on the people who are better at the piece you're not. That's how a brand joins the conversation instead of watching it pass by.Chapters:00:00: Welcome Abbie Mitchell, Texas Roadhouse, and a viral steak tweet. 01:36: From UofL to Hyland: building a marketing role as a team of one. 04:17: Getting passed over twice before landing at Texas Roadhouse. 04:52: Bubba's 33, Jaggers, and how the three brands show up differently. 06:25: Trading SMB life for a national brand that still feels family-owned. 08:42: Social, email, SMS, and content libraries for local store pages. 11:21: Leadership buy-in, bringing social in-house, and why spontaneous posts win. 16:42: Mr. K, Meltwater, and the “best cost performance steak” World Cup moment. 19:35: From a DM to Dallas — leadership trust, a store visit, and custom merch overnight. 27:44: Abbie's advice: lean on your team and admit what you don't know.Resources:https://www.linkedin.com/in/abbie-mitchell-785193101

It aims to turn information from the consultation into a clear patient treatment plan, helping patients understand where they're going, what happens next and why continuing their care matters.Jack and Calum discuss the problem with traditional metrics such as patient visit average, why expectation management matters, and whether clinics should instead be measuring how successfully patients complete the individual treatment plan actually recommended to them.They also explore:Why AI scribes are only the beginningPatient drop-off and self-dischargeCreating personalised treatment plansImproving communication between appointmentsReducing administrative burden for cliniciansPatient retention versus simply increasing appointment numbersThe limitations of PVA/PBA as a clinic metricMeasuring planned completion ratesUsing AI to identify patients falling off their recovery pathwayEarly results from clinics using PreevWhere AI-supported MSK care could go nextCalum shares early examples of clinics reporting significant improvements in rebooking among patients receiving treatment plans, including one clinic where average visits per case reportedly increased from around 4.5 to 7 following implementation.The bigger question is whether healthcare AI should simply make existing work faster—or help us deliver a fundamentally better patient experience.

You don't have to know where the journey leads. Trust your gifts. Raise your hand. That message captures Lori Little's remarkable career and the wisdom she shares with hosts Jennifer Green and Diana McIver in this special WAHNcast 50 Over 50 episode. A Baylor Law graduate, Lori never planned on a career in affordable housing. A two-line newspaper job ad led her to research what LIHTC meant, take a chance and raise her hand. That opportunity launched decades of leadership and service, including 22 years with the National Affordable Housing Trust, where she ultimately served as CEO. Lori shares why curiosity, mentorship and a willingness to try something new have shaped her journey. She also reflects on resident services, women's evolving role in affordable housing, work-life balance and the importance of lifting up the next generation. As WAHN's inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Lori's story is a reminder that a meaningful career doesn't always follow the path you planned. Sometimes you trust the journey, use the gifts you've been given and raise your hand.

What if generosity isn't primarily something Christians need to be taught to do, but the natural fruit of becoming more like Christ? In this episode of Stewardship Leader, Leo Sabo welcomes back Jeff Ward, COO of Simple, for a conversation about the connection between discipleship, stewardship, and generosity. Jeff shares how God used lessons from his parents, early marriage, missionary support, and experiences in India to shape his understanding that everything belongs to God and that giving is an opportunity to participate in His work. Together, Leo and Jeff explore the joy of spontaneous generosity, why faithful stewardship sometimes means not giving, how well-intentioned generosity can unintentionally create dependency, and why churches should remove unnecessary barriers when people are prompted to give. Ultimately, the conversation points back to a foundational truth: generosity is not simply a financial behavior. It is an expression of worship and a fruit of a life increasingly surrendered to Christ.Key Takeaways Generosity naturally flows from discipleship because becoming more like Christ means becoming more like the God who gives.God doesn't simply give us gifts; He gives us Himself, making generosity an expression of worship rather than guilt or obligation.A generous heart is often formed through small experiences, faithful examples, and relationships over a lifetime.Giving shouldn't be measured simply by whether the amount increases from year to year; generosity is ultimately about listening and responding to God.Planned giving is important, but leaving room for spontaneous generosity allows us to respond when God presents unexpected opportunities.Everything belongs to God, which means generosity is first a stewardship decision: the steward must listen to the Owner.Sometimes faithful stewardship means not giving, even when a legitimate need exists.Removing unnecessary friction from giving helps people follow through when they feel prompted to be generous.Well-intentioned generosity can sometimes create dependency and prevent others from experiencing the dignity and joy of giving themselves.Churches and ministry leaders should consider whether their generosity is truly helping people grow or unintentionally discouraging local stewardship.Discipling people toward generosity begins by teaching God's ownership, His worthiness, and His generous character.The ultimate goal isn't simply to produce people who give more, but disciples who increasingly surrender everything God has entrusted to them for His glory.ResourcesSimple Website - simpledonation.comConnect with Jeff Ward - jeff@simpledonation.comBecome a CSN member - https://membership.christianstewardshipnetwork.com/Learn about the Christian Stewardship Network - https://www.christianstewardshipnetwork.com/

Last time we spoke about the ending of the Second Battle of Changsha. In late September and early October 1941, Chinese commander Chen Cheng planned an operation to retake Yichang, a strategic Yangtze River city whose control was essential for protecting the approach to Chongqing. Japanese forces were pulling back from Changsha, weakened by supply problems and casualties, which created an opportunity for Chen to intensify his campaign. Yichang had been captured by Japan in 1940, a defeat that Chen carried as a personal and political burden. He therefore moved to encircle the Japanese 13th Division inside Yichang and drive it to collapse. Although the Chinese held a clear manpower advantage—fourteen divisions against the encircled Japanese—progress was slowed by stubborn fighting from prepared, entrenched positions. The battle inside the city produced desperate close-quarters combat and heavy casualties, showing how the fate of Yichang and the wider defense of Chongqing were tightly linked.    #214 War hits the Pacific Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel where I cover the history of China and Japan from the 19th century until the end of the Pacific War.   The guns fell silent on October 9, 1941, as the Ninth War Zone's forces restored their pre-battle positions, marking the end of the Second Battle of Changsha. The balance sheet was grim on both sides, but it was China that bore the heavier cost. The Ninth Military Front suffered 70,672 killed, wounded, or missing. The concurrent Yichang offensive added a further 21,368 casualties to the Sixth Military Front, a force that outnumbered its Japanese opponents ten to one yet still failed to retake the city. By the time the dust settled, the Chinese army had lost nearly 100,000 men across both theatres. The Chinese command was frank, at least in private, about what had gone wrong. The Japanese had moved with a speed that recalled Blitzkrieg, advancing 130 kilometres in eleven days and withdrawing at twelve kilometres a day, catching the defenders perpetually off-balance. The 26th, 37th, 10th, and 74th Corps had been picked apart piecemeal rather than fighting in concert, the original plan to destroy the Japanese south of the Miluo River coming to nothing. Elite formations had paid a disproportionate price: the 74th Corps suffered 14,521 casualties, the 37th Corps 14,015, and the 58th Division alone lost 6,192 of its 11,907 men, nearly its entire fighting strength.   Yet none of this was the story the public would hear. On October 10th, China's National Day, radio stations announced the "Second Great Victory in Northern Hunan", the annihilation of over 40,000 enemy troops. Newspapers rushed out special editions. Congratulatory telegrams flooded in from government ministries and civic organizations. Senior officials seized on the moment: Sun Ke, Premier of the Executive Yuan, declared that the victory "laid the foundation for the counter-offensive and the recapture of Hankou and Guangzhou," while General Bai Chongxi called it "the pivotal moment for us to turn defeat into victory." Chiang Kai-shek, reading through the pages of triumphant commentary produced overnight by his propagandists, was reportedly impressed by their industry, if not convinced by their content. He had not wanted to call it a victory at all, but the political calculus was unavoidable: after four years of war, an exhausted nation needed the psychological sustenance that only "victory" could provide.   The gap between public performance and private reality was nowhere more visible than in the arrival of a twenty-two-member international press delegation on October 13th. Journalists from Britain, the United States, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Hong Kong, and major Chinese newspapers were flown to Changsha and carefully guided through selected battlefields, where they inspected mountains of war trophies and heard testimony from soldiers and civilians. They left satisfied, presenting their war souvenirs—swords, binoculars, Japanese military flags—to their audiences back home as proof of Chinese heroism and Japanese defeat. Both China and Japan were claiming victory simultaneously. The only conclusion the foreign press could draw was that one side was lying, and it was not the side that had shown them the evidence.   Chiang Kai-shek's real verdict came at the Third Nanyue Military Conference, held from October 16 to 21. His anger was withering. He condemned his generals for their obsession with defending sprawling outer perimeter lines while leaving city centres barely fortified, a mentality so rigid, he said, that the Japanese could announce the exact time of their advance and withdrawal in advance and still execute it on schedule without interference. "Generals, what a disgrace this is!" On the failure to capture prisoners, only 263 prisoners were claimed across the entire front, of whom only 16 names were actually published, he was almost incredulous: "We can definitely defeat the enemy, capture many enemy prisoners, and seize countless enemy weapons! Even if we cannot capture ten thousand prisoners, we should at least capture a thousand! If not a thousand, then at least a hundred! But now, you don't even have ten!" The conference handed down punishments to match the rhetoric. Liao Lingqi, commander of the shattered 58th Division, was sentenced to death for desertion and shot on October 22nd. His men were so outraged that three regimental commanders resigned in protest; the division was pulled from the order of battle entirely and given three months to rebuild. Li Yutang, commander of the 10th Corps, was dismissed—though the Third Battle of Changsha would begin before his replacement could take post, and he would be reinstated to play a key role in the city's defence.   On the Japanese side, the 11th Army acknowledged 1,670 killed, 5,184 wounded, and 14 missing, far fewer than Chinese claims, though post-war regimental histories suggest the true figure was higher. Lieutenant General Anami, who had championed the operation, found himself stung by the charge that the battle had served mainly as material for Chinese propaganda. On November 23rd, he reportedly reacted with visible displeasure when someone in his headquarters said as much aloud.  Anami's annoyance was easy enough to understand, but the accusation carried a troubling degree of accuracy. The Second Battle of Changsha had yielded no decisive strategic gain and no substantial alteration in the military balance. What it did generate, rather effectively, was a story and by the autumn of 1941, stories were one of the few things China still had in plentiful supply. The most consequential struggles were taking place not along the Miluo River, but in foreign ministries and embassies, in Washington and Moscow, in the messages passing between Chongqing and London, and in the increasingly strained calculations of statesmen trying to determine, amid rapidly changing circumstances, whom to support and for how long.   For Chiang Kai-shek, the challenge was never merely military. It was structural, and had been so from the outset. He had always seen clearly, precisely because he understood China's weakness, that Japan could not be defeated by China alone. The country lacked the industrial base, the logistical reach, and after four years of relentless attrition more and more the manpower needed to force a decisive result on the battlefield. China's survival depended on making its war inseparable from the wars of other powers. Since 1937, Chiang's diplomacy had pursued that single objective: convincing enough great powers that their interests were aligned with China's, and holding that coalition together long enough for Japan to be subdued. That effort turned out to be vastly more difficult than it ought to have been.   The problem started with the international order in which the war emerged. Chiang had hoped to assemble a concert of allies willing to help defend China against Japanese aggression. He was blocked not just by the reluctance of neutral states to aid China, but by the speed with which alliances shifted in the opening years of the Second World War. He had never welcomed the prospect of a general European conflict, correctly fearing that it would push China even further to the margins of world attention. Even so, he recognized that once the lines had hardened between the imperial democracies and fascism, new alignments might become possible. From his perspective, the growing amity between Berlin and Moscow was therefore disastrous. He had been eager to draw the USSR into war against Japan. Instead, the Soviets were now effectively aligned with the Nazis, who were themselves allied with Tokyo.   The world created after Versailles had already enraged many Chinese. After all, the May Fourth demonstrations of 1919 had arisen directly from the settlement reached at the Paris Peace Conference. Yet that older order had at least possessed recognizable anchors, especially the dominance of the two great European empires and the United States. Now those empires were weakening, and no one could say with confidence what the new geopolitical order would be. For all Chiang knew, Germany might emerge as Europe's new dominant power. The early years of the European war produced a bewildering spectacle of diplomatic realignment.   The Nationalist government had previously enjoyed a short-lived flirtation with Nazi Germany. In fact, Hitler's regime continued supplying Chiang with munitions in the first months of China's war against Japan. The Anti-Comintern Pact of 1936 had theoretically joined Germany, Italy, and Japan into the Axis, but mutual distrust prevented them from forming anything like a fully coherent alliance. Chiang found it useful to imply to Western powers that he might be pushed into closer alignment with Germany, a particularly disturbing possibility for the USSR, which faced enemies in both Europe and Asia. But eventually the contradictions in German policy toward East Asia became too severe. In April 1938, Germany yielded to Japanese pressure and ended its support for China.   Britain offered little meaningful help. Neville Chamberlain became prime minister in May 1937 at the head of a Conservative-led National Government, and was quickly overwhelmed by the deteriorating European situation. If Czechoslovakia was for him a "far-off country of which we know nothing," China's fate was even more distant and obscure to many,  perhaps most  policymakers in London. The Nationalists had more success in cultivating the United States. At the Nine-Power Conference in Brussels in November 1937, the Chinese delegation failed to persuade Washington to impose sanctions on Japan and confront it directly. By the middle of 1938, however, American views were beginning to shift. As Japan pushed deeper into southern China, it became increasingly obvious that the occupied territory would be closed to foreign trade. In December 1938, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau arranged a private American loan of $25 million to China, to be repaid through shipments of tung oil, a varnish product whose real importance lay not in itself, but in what the arrangement signified: a quiet American expression of faith that Chongqing would survive. Chiang also held on to the hope of an even less likely partnership. He had become fiercely anti-Communist during the 1920s, yet in the early years of the anti-Japanese war his greatest hope still rested on Soviet entry into the conflict. Soviet advisers and pilots had aided China from 1937 to 1939, but the USSR never formally declared war on Japan. Still, as Japanese aggression in northern Asia intensified, it remained possible that the Soviets would eventually be drawn in.   Then, as so often happened whenever Chiang tried to impose some control over the course of the war, events beyond China's borders altered the struggle in fundamental ways. While Western attention remained fixed on Europe's darkening horizon, a battle with major consequences for East Asia unfolded on the frontiers of Outer Mongolia, Manchukuo, and the eastern Soviet Union. Throughout much of 1938 and early 1939, one faction within the Japanese Imperial Army sought to pressure the Soviets along their eastern frontier. The USSR appeared vulnerable; Stalin's paranoid purges had executed or exiled many of the Red Army's best officers. In May 1939, fighting broke out near Nomonhan between forces from Soviet-backed Mongolia and Japanese troops from Manchukuo. Within days, both sides had reinforced heavily, until nearly 60,000 Soviet troops faced about 40,000 soldiers from the Kwantung Army. Over the next four months, until mid-September, they fought a major battle ending in a decisive Japanese defeat and establishing the reputation of General Georgi Zhukov, who would later become one of Stalin's most celebrated wartime commanders. The much-derided Soviet Army had fought with formidable effectiveness, and the result was not only a ceasefire but also a nonaggression pact between the two sides, extinguishing, in one stroke, Chiang's hopes for a Chinese-Soviet military alliance. The final blow came after developments in northern Europe. In the Winter War of 1939–1940, the Soviet invasion of Finland led Britain and France to back a motion expelling the USSR from the League of Nations. China, then a member of the League Council, declined to use its veto to block the resolution. Stalin was enraged by Chiang's failure to prevent Soviet expulsion, and mutual suspicion thereafter poisoned relations between the two leaders for the rest of the war against Japan. China would now have to continue without further major Soviet backing.   By the spring of 1940, China's position had become deeply precarious. In March, senior Japanese negotiators sought an agreement with Chiang in Chongqing, while Wang Jingwei was trying to formalize his rival Nationalist government in Nanjing. This effort, known in Chinese as the Tong Operation, and in Japanese as Operation Kiri, led to talks in Hong Kong from March 7 to 10, 1940. Militarily, the Nationalists were in grave danger: the United States remained neutral, and Europe was in chaos. Indeed, that same spring, with France seemingly near collapse, the British government also sent out discreet feelers to explore the possibility of a negotiated peace with Germany. For China, Western assistance was nowhere in sight. The Japanese judged the moment favorable for pressing Chiang toward concessions. Faced with serious danger to his regime, Chiang allowed the door to negotiation to open just slightly.   As a consequence, the Japanese delayed full recognition of Wang Jingwei's new government. Through the summer and autumn of 1940, Tokyo remained uncertain about the defector. Prominent Japanese figures such as Count Arima Yoriyasu of the Privy Council said Wang's conduct demonstrated his untrustworthiness, and Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yōsuke continued to express interest in an agreement with Chongqing. Zhou Fohai captured the defectors' frustration, men who believed they had made the highest patriotic sacrifice when he wrote: "Chongqing sees us as collaborators, we see ourselves as heroes. We think only peace can save the country — that's why we think of ourselves as heroes. If we end up classed as heroes, then China and Japan will be at peace. If we end up classed as collaborators, then China and Japan will never be at peace."That formulation conveyed something genuine about the moral dizziness of the period. Most of the defectors were not men devoid of principles; they were men whose principles had carried them to a place that history would find exceptionally hard to pardon.   The "New Fourth Army Incident" brought to a close one of the most consequential years in modern Chinese political history. The battle of ideas unfolding in 1940 was already visible to informed contemporaries. Early in 1941, US Ambassador Nelson Johnson sent Washington a detailed assessment of the Chinese political situation in reply to another report passed along by Major Evans Carlson, an American officer who had made an extensive journey through the Chinese interior. The contrast between the two documents revealed a widening split in American views of China. Carlson, together with his travelling companion, the New Zealander Rewi Alley, had become increasingly sympathetic to the Communists after visiting their territories in 1938 and admiring their discipline. Carlson described the Nationalists as moving toward "fascism," and argued that American aid should be conditioned on Chiang's government being compelled to adopt more "democratic" institutions.   Johnson strongly disagreed. It was "only normal and natural," he wrote, that the Nationalists wanted to retain power, but during the war they had established the National Political Consultative Council, in which multiple parties, including the Communists, were represented. He also noted that the CCP could publish its own newspaper in Chongqing in a way that would have been impossible before the war. One might have expected the Nationalists to use the war as a justification "to extinguish . . . all political opposition," yet instead they had chosen to "muddle along." Johnson further thought that the influence of competing cliques inside the Nationalist Party had been overstated. Chiang Kai-shek, by contrast, had "grown in stature, as he has come to be recognized as the symbol of united resistance to Japanese encroachment"; ultimately, "it is he who makes the final decisions." Johnson did agree with Carlson that Chiang's regime was hesitant to encourage a broad-based popular movement animated by anything beyond anti-Japanese feeling, though he also pointed to Nationalist cooperative programs and county-level reforms. But he rejected the idea that American support should depend on sweeping political transformation. Chiang was committed to continuing the war against Japan, and Washington should back him in that effort. In a notably farsighted passage, Johnson wrote: "It is my view that since the fall of the Manchu dynasty and the collapse of the traditional Chinese concept of government the Chinese people have been feeling their way along toward a new evolving form of government. A definitive form of government has not yet been established and may not be established for decades; it may or may not be in the form of a democracy, but it will be a type of government that will be adapted to the needs of China and its people." The tension between these two American interpretations,  Carlson's idealized belief in the Communists and Johnson's pragmatic support for Chiang was more than a minor bureaucratic dispute. It foreshadowed a debate that would dominate American foreign policy for the next decade, and would still echo when the People's Republic was proclaimed in 1949.   The disastrous experience of 1940 seemed to cast doubt on whether any future for China existed outside the Japanese Empire. As 1941 wore on, another dreadful event shook the exhausted wartime capital. On June 5, Chongqing endured roughly five hours of bombing, driving the population into air-raid shelters. In one tunnel in the Shibati district, the conditions were even worse than usual. The large shelter was supposed to have lights and electric fans, but the generators had never been connected. Inside, the air was dark, hot, and suffocating. Around ten that evening, people began emerging from the tunnel when rumors spread that the Japanese were returning with poison-gas bombs. Air-raid wardens forced people back inside, even as others were still trying to come out. Bodies toppled over one another, and panic spread as people realized they could not breathe. Over the next few hours, hundreds died underground in the darkness. The exact number was never definitively established: the official figure was 461, though a contemporary police report placed it far higher, at 1,527. What rescuers remembered most vividly were the tortured expressions of the dead, people tangled together in each other's arms as they lost consciousness, clothing ripped to shreds by desperate hands clawing at one another, and bodies so drenched in sweat that they looked as though they had been soaked in water. One survivor, Tang Zhengchang, remembered a hand reaching out from a pile of corpses and pleading, "Sir, please help me . . ." The grip on Tang's shorts was so tight that it pulled them off; he escaped the tunnel naked from the waist down. Official descriptions of the disaster were softened. Even so, the tragedy deepened the city's gloom and in a place already saturated with grief, an added layer of darkness mattered a great deal.   Yet events elsewhere would soon offer the National Government a narrow margin of hope. Late in 1940, Franklin D. Roosevelt won re-election as president of the United States. "I am not going to send your boys into any foreign wars," he had proclaimed during the campaign against Wendell Willkie. But Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull both understood that Nazi domination of Europe posed a grave challenge to American influence there. And with China's "Open Door" to trade effectively shut by Japanese occupation, it was becoming increasingly clear that strict neutrality might not remain viable. In a 1941 report on China's domestic and foreign situation, Ambassador Johnson noted that during Germany's sweeping victories across Europe in mid-1940, the Chinese had become anxious about whether the Allies would remain committed to their cause. Britain's refusal to surrender, however, together with continuing Soviet goodwill, lifted public morale in China. People now looked toward the United States and Britain for support and felt that "victory" was "virtually theirs."   Then, on June 22, 1941, the world awoke to news that roughly three million German soldiers were advancing into the Soviet Union. Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's invasion of the USSR, dramatically overturned the nonaggression that had governed relations between the two major European dictatorships for the previous two years. It transformed the war in Europe entirely. Less obviously, it also transformed the war in Asia. Thanks to intelligence leaks, Chiang Kai-shek had already realized that war between Germany and the USSR was likely. After the neutrality treaty between the USSR and Japan was signed on April 13, 1941, Chiang predicted that the United States would be drawn into the Asian war, and even that Japan might eventually reverse course and strike the Soviet Union. If that happened, China would become the critical Asian ally of both Washington and Moscow. Stalin had been caught off guard by the German assault — largely because he ignored increasingly urgent warnings from senior colleagues receiving intelligence from well-placed spies in Germany and the Comintern, eager to preserve its alliances, now pressed the Chinese Communists to cooperate more closely with the Nationalists. On June 23, 1941, the CCP Central Committee responded with a declaration that it would "persevere in the Anti-Japanese United Front, persevere in Nationalist-Communist cooperation," and would align itself with the British, the Americans, and others resisting the "fascist rulers" of the Axis.   In Chongqing and Yan'an, the German attack on the Soviet Union was interpreted as a hopeful sign that Japan's fortunes might be beginning to turn. In Nanjing, the reaction was different. On June 22, Zhou Fohai recorded in his diary that, although the outcome "cannot be predicted," members of the Nanjing regime "all believe Germany will win and will take Moscow within two months." Zhou speculated that Japan could not easily reconcile its neutrality treaty with the USSR and its membership in the Anti-Comintern Pact, which was supposed to unite the Axis against Soviet expansionism. Still, because Germany had struck first, Japan was under no formal obligation to help. Zhou also continued to view events through a lens he had never abandoned: that of Chinese nationalism. "If Chongqing joins the Allies and they win," he wrote, "then this is good for China." If they lost, it would be disastrous for Chiang Kai-shek; but because Wang Jingwei had established a government in Nanjing under Japanese sponsorship, China now had "a foot in both boats." It was a ruthless calculation, but not a wholly dishonorable one. Zhou was not merely advancing Japanese interests. He was hedging, wagering on multiple futures in the name of a China he believed would endure beyond whatever constellation of powers happened to dominate at the moment. Whether posterity would judge that conduct prudent or collaborative was a question he could neither settle nor live to see resolved to his satisfaction.   The summer of 1941 marked a major geopolitical turning point in the war. Until then, the conflicts in China and Europe had remained separate, if desperate, struggles on the Eurasian continent. Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union now forced Japan to decide whether it too would enter war against the USSR. Debate in Tokyo was brief. Although some officials, including Foreign Minister Matsuoka, favored striking north before moving south, both the Kwantung Army and the Navy advised against helping Germany at least until Germany had succeeded in drawing substantial Soviet forces away from Siberia and into Europe. Konoye, once again prime minister, agreed. With the northern option set aside, Japanese leaders turned toward another great power instead: the United States. Japan's failure to gain further decisive momentum in China had fueled demands for broader regional expansion, especially into Southeast Asia, with its abundant oil, rubber, and other strategic resources. From 1940 onward, measures such as the pressure to close the Burma Road made it increasingly obvious that Tokyo had adopted a more aggressive posture in Asia. Unable to subdue China, Japanese policymakers chose instead to escalate the conflict still further.   Japanese political life had become ever more dominated by the unresolved war in China. As early as 1938, military expenditures consumed about 70 percent of the national budget, and that same year a National Mobilization Bill granted the government "total war control" over the zaibatsu, Japan's major industrial conglomerates. By 1940, the New Order was making itself felt throughout everyday life, with campaigns against luxury and extravagant consumption taking on new prominence. In February 1940, a parliamentarian was expelled from the Diet simply for daring to criticize the "holy war" in China. In such an atmosphere, retreat from imperial ambitions became increasingly unthinkable. That figure, 70 percent of the national budget devoted to the military is worth dwelling on, because it reveals something essential about the trap in which Japanese strategists had placed themselves. The war in China had not been won, yet abandoning it would have meant admitting a failure so severe that it would have shaken the ideological and institutional foundations of military supremacy in Japanese politics. The only apparent ways out required pushing further in: more conquest, more extraction, more expansion. The logic was brutally clear, and profoundly destructive.   The Roosevelt administration watched these developments with growing alarm. Though still formally neutral, the United States was already using Lend-Lease to provide major assistance to Britain and the Soviet Union in their struggles against Germany. It now expanded aid to China as well. On February 10, Roosevelt's representative Lauchlin Currie visited Chongqing to inform Chiang Kai-shek that the United States would soon provide $45 million in military equipment. General John Magruder, head of the small AMMISCA mission,  the American Military Mission in China had been sent to Chongqing in September 1941, as part of quiet preparation for possible Chinese entry into an alliance against Japan. The China branch of the OSS, precursor to the CIA, was led by General William "Wild Bill" Donovan, whom Roosevelt had dispatched to China in early 1941.   The Americans repeatedly tried to discourage Japan from moving south into Southeast Asia, but relations only grew more confrontational. Japan occupied the southern part of French Indochina, and in response the United States imposed an oil embargo in July 1941. The consequences were immense. Japan imported around 80 percent of its oil from the United States. Without that supply, its navy, the essential instrument for southern expansion  had reserves for perhaps eighteen months. The real question facing Tokyo, then, was not whether it must act, but how soon. Unable any longer to resist mounting military pressure for war, Konoye resigned on October 16 and was replaced as premier by General Tōjō Hideki. Tokyo accelerated its preparations for conflict with the Western powers. Planned targets included Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaya, the Netherlands East Indies, and the Philippines. I should note, if you want to learn about all of this history in more detail, you can go check out the pacific war channel on youtube. I have a chronological series that is just now talking about events like the Japanese invasion of french indochina and the road to pearl harbor.   Throughout the autumn of 1941, increasingly desperate negotiations took place between Japan and the United States. Washington insisted that Japan withdraw from China; Tokyo was equally firm that it would do no such thing. From the Japanese point of view, the demand to leave China was not a serious negotiating position but a demand for national humiliation a call to repudiate four years of war, vast casualties, and the ideological basis of Japanese militarism in a single diplomatic act. In the end, the gulf between the two positions could not be bridged.   While civilian and military leaders in Tokyo argued over the pace at which they should move toward war, few among Japan's rulers doubted that war was coming. At the imperial conference of November 5, it was formally agreed that if no satisfactory diplomatic solution had been reached by December 1, war would follow soon after. Talks in Washington between Ambassador Nomura Kichisaburō, diplomat Kurusu Saburō, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull led nowhere. On November 26, Hull delivered a note repeating the American position that Japan must withdraw from both China and Indochina. On December 1, the imperial conference resolved to go to war; the following day, the date of attack was fixed as December 8, December 7 by American time. In one sense, this was the culmination toward which the entire previous decade had been moving. The war in China had started as a localized conflict, then expanded into a continental one, and was now about to become something larger still: a truly global war, stretching from the North Atlantic to the western Pacific. China's long, lonely resistance would suddenly gain new dimensions and new allies,  though not the ones Chiang had spent four years trying to cultivate, and not under circumstances he would have chosen.   In the early morning of December 7, 1941, the US Pacific Fleet lay anchored at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, its sailors and officers still largely asleep as dawn crept across the Pacific. The attack did not come without warning signs,  American and Japanese diplomats had been locked in increasingly desperate negotiations throughout the autumn, each side hardening its position until no room remained to maneuver. Washington had demanded that Japan withdraw from China, a condition Tokyo viewed not as a serious opening offer but as a demand for national humiliation: a call to repudiate four years of brutal war, hundreds of thousands of casualties, and the entire ideological foundation upon which Japanese militarism rested. No agreement was possible on those terms, and both sides privately knew it.   The strike force assembled in secret was formidable. Six aircraft carriers,  the Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū, Hiryū, Shōkaku, and Zuikaku had sailed under strict radio silence across the North Pacific, launching their aircraft in two successive waves before the American base had any meaningful chance to respond. The first wave of approximately 183 planes swept in just before 8 a.m., targeting the rows of battleships moored along Battleship Row and the military airfields at Wheeler, Hickam, and Ford Island simultaneously, ensuring that American aircraft could not scramble in time to mount an effective defense. A second wave of roughly 170 planes followed less than an hour later, pressing the attack on damaged ships and harbor installations.   The destruction was staggering. The battleship Arizona suffered a catastrophic magazine explosion after a armor-piercing bomb penetrated her forward decks, killing nearly 1,177 of her crew in minutes, almost half of the total American dead from the entire attack. The Oklahoma capsized after being struck by multiple torpedoes. The West Virginia and California sank at their moorings. In total, seventeen vessels were damaged or destroyed, and the vast majority of military aircraft at the nearby airfields were caught on the ground and obliterated before they could take flight. Around 2,400 Americans were killed and another 1,100 wounded, making it the deadliest single attack on American soil or territory in the nation's history to that point.   Yet the attack was not a complete strategic success for Japan. The US Pacific Fleet's aircraft carriers, the vessels that would ultimately decide the naval war in the Pacific happened to be at sea that morning and escaped unharmed. The harbor's fuel storage and repair facilities were also left largely intact, allowing the fleet to reconstitute faster than Japanese planners had anticipated. What Japan achieved in tactical devastation, it partly squandered in strategic miscalculation. The attack ended American neutrality instantly and irrevocably. The following day, President Roosevelt addressed Congress, calling December 7 "a date which will live in infamy," and within hours the United States declared war on Japan. For China, after more than four years of fighting alone, the blow that devastated Pearl Harbor paradoxically carried a thread of desperate hope at last, the great power Chiang Kai-shek had spent years trying to draw into the conflict had arrived, not under circumstances he would have chosen, but arrived nonetheless.

After years of fighting, China's situation darkened in 1941 with intense bombing of Chongqing and fears of poison-gas attacks. Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in June shifted alliances and pressured Japan toward wider war. Japan escalated plans for Southeast Asia, suffered an oil embargo, and negotiations with the United States broke down over withdrawing from China and Indochina. Then the Pearl Harbor attack began the Pacific War.

State and local leaders are suing the federal government after alleging that Immigration and Customs Enforcement quietly broke ground on a proposal to build an ICE facility in Gilroy. Santa Clara County leaders and a number of other Bay Area cities, counties and community groups, have banded together to put a stop to the plan. At a recent press conference, members of San Jose's Japanese American community also spoke out, drawing parallels to the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II.

When Alex Murdaugh's lawyers sued Becky Hill in federal court, the $600,000 damages claim was the paperwork. The plan underneath it was bigger. Jim Griffin described it at the press conference: subpoena power, depositions, and an investigation into exactly what she did, including the question the state never answered, whether she acted alone.A civil lawsuit was the one mechanism that could reach Hill's personal accounts and force her testimony. She isn't a party to the murder case, her plea deal ended her criminal case without cross-examination, and the Supreme Court ruled from juror transcripts without ever questioning her. The list of people who have examined Becky Hill under oath about the jury she managed stands at zero, and the lawsuit existed to change that before the April 2027 retrial.Judge Gergel dismissed it on August 5, 2026. His logic: the murder charges created Murdaugh's legal bills, and Hill didn't create the murder charges. This episode covers the four assets the defense lost in those five pages, from the government misconduct argument her records could have supported to the cross-examination material the investigator depositions could have handed them for use against SLED at the retrial, and the footnote that leaves a path back after the trial ends.Hosted by Tony BrueskiJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's been a busy week in the small western Minnesota town of Appleton. First, the town learned the Department of Homeland Security is moving forward with plans to detain immigrants in a shuttered private prison nearby. Then, CoreCivic, the company that owns the prison, announced it is selling it to the federal government. It's expected to open this fall as an ICE detention center. CoreCivic will still manage the facility. But, as federal property, it may be exempt from taxes that currently support Appleton's budget. Appleton City Council member Jim Massee joined to talk more about what impacts this could have.

If you would like a free 2-week trial of the DailyDX, your only source of real-time DX information, just drop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.comLike many of you, I am an avid CQ DX Marathon participant. To help identify those stations that may not be rare, but also not common, I will bring it to your attention by announcing MARATHON ALERT. This will let you know that based on my experience, this activation is one that you will want to make part of your Marathon Chase! Let's get started.{Marathon Alert} OH0 – Aland Islands - OH0ERF will be activated from August 5 to August 12, by a group of German hams operating holiday style. The team plans to operate all bands from 160 m through 10 m, using CW, SSB, and FT8, with 6 m added if conditions allow. Equipment includes an IC-7610, two IC-7300 transceivers, and an ACOM 700S amplifier. Planned antennas include a 3-band delta loop, a 3-element 3-band Mosley beam, 40 m and 160 m verticals, and various wire antennas.{Marathon Alert} R1FJ – Franz Jozef Land - R7AL, Vasily, and his team should be QRV around August 15 for 15 days. Five hundred kilograms of gear is already in Murmansk, their departure point, with the ops bringing another 300 kg.{Marathon Alert} UZBEKISTAN – UK - Darek, SP9DLM and his son Greg SN9GM are QRV using UK/calls until August 15.{Marathon Alert} T2 – Tuvalu - JK1JXZ, Masaaki “Aki” Iwasawa, is QRV with the callsign T2JK from Funafuti until August 7, 80-6M. On weekdays he expects to be on the air after 5 PM local time, and on the weekend, he will be on all day long. {Marathon Alert} E5/S – South Cook Islands - ZL2KE, Steve, is QRV as E51KEE from the South Cook Islands until August 14th, mainly on CW with some SSB, likely focusing on 30 and 40 meters unless propagation improves. Another Steve, ZL4CZ, is QRV as E51CZZ until August 6th on SSB. Neither operator is using FT8 or other digital modes. {Marathon Alert} TU – Ivory Coast - F5HPE, Fredy, is underway to the Ivory Coast, where he has the TU5MM callsign. He will be joining TU5JZ, Mathruin. Fredy expects to be there until the 22th, operating from the Motobé Radio Club on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10M SSB and FT8, and will give FT4 a try.{Marathon Alert} OJ0 - Märket Reef - OH6BG says a DXpedition is coming up August 15-22, with OJ0JR, Henri; and OJ0YL, Anne. He points out that the reef is the most exposed location in the Baltic Sea, “more rock than island, more sea than shelter.” To be dealt with before the first QSO is made is the weather, landing conditions, antennas, power and constant wind and waves, he says. They plan 80-10 CW, SSB and FT8.This week, the DX Mentor Podcast will feature a discussion with two operators from the upcoming 2027 VP0SG DXpedition to the South Georgia Islands. Check it out and let me know what you think. If you have questions or need information, just drop me a note at thedxmentor@gmail.comUntil next week, this is Bill, AJ8B saying 73 and thanks to my XYL Karen for her love and support.

Simon Constable and Jim McTague continue with a quiz highlighting that typical data centers use 300,000 gallons of water daily, while larger ones can reach 5 million gallons. Currently, most centers are urban, but 67% of planned facilities are rural. In Lancaster County, a "tale of two data centers" emerges as one town embraces the revenue stream while another resists it due to misinformation and fear. (2)

There were no doctors or nurses in the room when our daughter arrived, still completely inside her amniotic sac.For a few surreal seconds, it was just the two of us, our brand-new baby, and one very obvious question:What the actual f— just happened?In this episode, Seena and I are telling the full story of Lexie's arrival...
