In view of the mercies of God....... Today we continue in our study of the book of Hosea and as we look at chapters 6 and 7, Pastor Dustin Clegg offers 3 observations:1) Faithful love, not religious emotion. (6:4-11)2) Faithful love of God always translates to faithful love of others. (7:1-7)3) Politically charged religion is not the same as faithful love of Jesus. (7:8-18)How do we respond?

"Ofosu Nkansah has finally been granted bail and will no longer face court. His case was clearly politically motivated, because immediately after giving an interview on this show, we were called back and the bail process began," - Nana Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, MP for Manhyia South and lawyer for Kofi Ofosu Nkansah
Instead of "did you watch the game last night", it's now "did you watch the halftime show last night?" Bad Bunny's performance is now a litmus test of who's side you are on. Politically, if you like it: you are lefty. If you didn't like it: you are a racist. And how about that TPUSA show? Also on the show: the commercials were mainly forgettable with the exception of one featuring Mike Tyson, Memphis-Shelby County Schools finally reopen after 2 weeks, and the Seahawks beat the Patriots last night.

A significant industry has emerged of expectant mothers flying from China to states such as California or U.S. territories such as Saipan to give birth to American citizens, says investigative reporter Peter Schweizer.As soon as the newborn is old enough to fly, mother and child travel back to China with their babies. Chinese state-run media began promoting such services years ago, Schweizer says.“They are exploiting this on a massive scale,” Schweizer said. “It's industrial, and we are completely oblivious to it.”He estimates there are tens of thousands of such cases per year. When the child turns 21, their parents can then potentially claim green cards through them.There are also growing anecdotes of surrogacy as another preferred route.“Politically connected elites in China ... are hiring women in the United States to carry their children. They call them carriers. And these women are American citizens,” Schweizer says.Schweizer is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers, including most recently “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.”In this episode, he breaks down some of the incredible findings of his book.Over the course of history, “migration has oftentimes been used as a weapon: a weapon of subversion, a weapon to overwhelm an enemy, a weapon to divide an enemy, a weapon to sow chaos,” he says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
This weekend's Super Bowl halftime show is expected to be one of the most-watched performances of the year, and this time it's headlined by Bad Bunny. The global superstar has never shied away from politics. Just days ago at the Grammys, he used his acceptance speech to denounce ICE at a moment when immigration enforcement has become more aggressive in parts of the country, including here in California. So what does it mean for an artist like Bad Bunny to take the Super Bowl stage right now? Guest: Nastia Voynovskaya, KQED Arts Editor A naturalization ceremony in Fresno to swear in new U.S. citizens was abruptly cancelled recently. Many waiting for citizenship were thrown into confusion. Reporter: Kerry Klein, KVPR Up until now, police in California could cite drivers with an open container violation, if they found loose marijuana in a vehicle. But a new ruling by the California Supreme Court finds that police can't issue a citation, or search the car, unless the pot they find is ready to be consumed.

Guest: Michael Toth. The segment focuses on California's strategy to empower the Attorney General to sue fossil fuel companies for rising insurance premiums. Toth argues these lawsuits are politically motivated and legally weak, noting that even insurance companies refuse to sue because attributing specific damages or deaths to corporate emissions is factually difficult.UNDATED
Today's Headlines: U.S. immigration enforcement is under intense scrutiny after another person was shot and critically injured during a Border Patrol–involved incident in southern Arizona. Details remain limited, with officials declining to identify the victim or explain how the shooting unfolded. Meanwhile in Minnesota, Rep. Ilhan Omar was attacked during a town hall after a man lunged at her and appeared to spray an unknown, foul-smelling substance from a syringe before being arrested on assault charges. Five days after the fatal shooting of Minnesota nurse Alex Pretti during an ICE encounter, the public still doesn't know who pulled the trigger — even as DHS has acknowledged that two ICE agents fired their weapons. The department is facing growing backlash after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem falsely claimed Pretti intended to “massacre” agents, a statement the White House has since tried to walk back while shifting blame internally. Minnesota is now suing the federal government for failing to preserve evidence from the shooting, with federal lawyers arguing they aren't required to do so. Criticism of ICE has also intensified following the death of 30-year-old U.S. citizen Wael Tarabishi, who relied on his father as a primary caregiver before his father was detained by ICE. Tarabishi died after weeks in the hospital, and ICE has refused to temporarily release his father to attend the funeral. Politically, Noem is facing impeachment pressure from House Democrats, while a Minnesota judge has ordered ICE's acting director to appear in court over repeated failures to comply with court orders. Internationally, the Trump administration is reportedly planning to send ICE personnel to the Winter Olympics in Milan, a move sharply criticized by the city's mayor. Separately, families of two Trinidadian men killed during U.S. boat strikes in the Caribbean have filed a lawsuit accusing the administration of extrajudicial killings. On the economic front, health insurance stocks fell after the administration declined to increase Medicare Advantage subsidies, as consumer confidence dropped to a 12-year low. Ending on a brighter note, Yale University announced it will make tuition free for families earning up to $200,000 a year, expanding access amid rising college costs.

A massive surveillance operation into IRA intelligence gathering has led police to the home of a political party administrator. They recover material they believe to have been stolen from government offices, but some of the intelligence is missing. Their efforts to find those missing items turns the covert operation into a full-blown political scandal that threatens the future of Stormont's shaky coalition.

#CreativeEconomy#ArtsAdvocacy#ArtistsInPolicy#ImpeachmentExplained#RepresentationMatters#GlobalPolitics#Davos #Venezuela #GreenlandIn this episode of the Circuspreneur Podcast, host Shenea Stiletto sits down with Martin Frenette—circus savant, artist, and analyst—to explore the intersection of politics, power, and the circus arts community.From policy blind spots and political u-turns to representation gaps and global decision-making, this conversation unpacks how political systems—often built without artists in mind—directly shape the lives, labor, and futures of creative workers and cultural sectors.This episode is part of Politically in Circus, an ongoing series examining how governance, economics, and global power structures impact circus and the creative economy—often quietly, and often without our voices in the room.If you're an artist, producer, cultural worker, or simply curious about how politics actually affects the arts behind the scenes, this is a conversation worth continuing.
The European Union's latest decision to phase out Chinese components and equipment from critical infrastructure such as telecommunications and solar energy, on the pretext of safeguarding "security", reflects an ideological bias that threatens to undermine the cooperative and mutually beneficial Sino-EU trade relations.欧盟以保障“安全”为借口,在其最新决议中表示将逐步淘汰电信和太阳能等关键基础设施中的中国零部件和设备。这种做法反映出一种意识形态偏见,可能危及中欧互利共赢的贸易关系。The restrictive measures, set out by the European Commission on Tuesday in revisions to the EU CybersecurityAct, build on actions taken in 2023 when the EU executive arm urged member states to exclude Huawei and ZTE from their mobile networks due to "security risks".欧盟委员会周二在修订《欧盟网络安全法》时提出的限制性措施,延续了2023年的行动——当时欧盟执行机构以“安全风险”为由,敦促成员国将华为和中兴排除在移动网络之外。But if security truly was the issue, there would be a transparent, evidence-based process to address these concerns, rather than sweeping administrative bans. Such prejudicial actions not only damage the trust necessary for bilateral trade, but also harm the interests of European companies and consumers.但若安全问题确属关键,理应通过透明、基于证据的程序来解决,而非采取一刀切的行政禁令。此类有失公允的举措不仅损害双边贸易所需的信任基础,更损害欧洲企业和消费者的利益。Chinese enterprises have beenintegral to the EU's technological advancement, providing high-quality and cost-effective solutions that have significantly contributed to the bloc's economic growth, job creation and digital transformation. From building 5G networks and advancing smart city projects in Europe, Chinese technology companies such as Huawei have demonstrated their commitment to compliance and innovation over the years.中国企业始终是欧盟技术进步的重要组成部分,其提供的高质量、高性价比解决方案为欧盟的经济增长、就业创造和数字化转型作出了重大贡献。从建设5G网络到推进欧洲智慧城市项目,华为等中国科技企业多年来始终展现出对合规与创新的坚定承诺。The earlier targeting of Huawei and ZTE was influenced by external pressures from the United States, which has long sought to exclude Chinese entities from global technology markets. And the bloc has been pursuing so-called "de-risking" since then. Although recent pressure from the US and other realities have prompted the EU to adopt a more pragmatic approach, it hasn't softened its stance in the telecommunications sector, although the specific implementation varies from country to country.早先针对华为和中兴的打压受到美国外部压力的影响,美国长期以来一直试图将中国企业排除在全球技术市场之外。此后,欧盟一直在推行所谓的“去风险化”政策。尽管近期来自美国的压力及其他现实因素促使欧盟采取更务实的态度,但其在电信领域的立场并未软化,尽管具体实施方式因国而异。This is because some European politicians still believe "security" to be a core issue in trade with China, and they try to mislead the EU to exclude Chinese suppliers. Ironically, these politicians pretend to be blind to the substantial security threats from the US, not only to the EU's economy and trade but also its members' territorial integrity.究其根源,部分欧洲政客仍将“安全”视为对华贸易的核心议题,试图误导欧盟排斥中国供应商。讽刺的是,这些政客对美国带来的实质性安全威胁视而不见——这种威胁不仅危及欧盟的经济贸易,更威胁到成员国的领土完整。The economic implications of excluding Chinese technology are profound. The financial burden of replacing established infrastructure is substantial, and the resultant delays in technological advancement could hinder Europe's competitiveness in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. This has been evidenced by the experience of the United Kingdom, where the exclusion of Huawei in 2020 led to significant delays and increased the costs of the country's 5G rollout.排除中国技术将产生深远的经济影响——更换现有基础设施的财务负担相当沉重,由此导致的技术进步延迟可能阻碍欧洲在快速发展的数字领域中的竞争力。英国的经验就证明了这一点:2020年将华为排除在外,导致该国5G网络部署出现重大延误,成本增加。It is estimated that replacing Chinese telecommunications equipment within the EU would cost billions of euros; over 90 percent of solar panels in the EU are manufactured in China, and manufacturing solar panels locally in the EU could be 160 percent more expensive than manufacturing them in China. Currently, Chinese inverters are used in the generation of over 200 gigawatts of power in the EU; and 70 percent of the inverters in newly installed solar power capacity in 2023 were imported from China, with Chinese products more than 20 percent cheaper than those from the EU.据估算,欧盟境内替换中国电信设备将耗资数十亿欧元;欧盟90%以上的太阳能电池板产自中国,若在欧盟本土制造,成本可能比中国高出160%。目前欧盟超过200吉瓦的发电量依赖中国逆变器;2023年新增太阳能装机容量中70%的逆变器来自中国进口,且中国产品比欧盟同类产品便宜20%以上。Instead of excluding Chinese technology, the EU should focus on fostering innovation and building partnerships with Chinese companies that enhance its technological capabilities while respecting the principles of free trade.欧盟不应排斥中国技术,而应致力于培育创新能力,并与中国企业建立合作伙伴关系,在尊重自由贸易原则的前提下提升自身技术实力。China's leading position in certain industries is the result of continuous technological innovation and the advantages of its manufacturing system, and should not be portrayed as a "threat". China's development is a global opportunity, not a threat to any country.中国在某些产业领域的领先地位,源于持续的技术创新和制造业体系的优势,不应被描绘成“威胁”。中国的发展是全球机遇,而非对任何国家的威胁。It is imperative that the EU reassess its approach toward Chinese enterprises, and try to balance its "security" concerns with the benefits of continued collaboration with China.欧盟亟需重新评估对华企业政策,在“安全”顾虑与持续合作带来的利益间寻求平衡。The EU stands at a crossroads. It can either succumb to protectionist tendencies that threaten to isolate it in an interconnected world, or it can embrace a path of rational, unbiased engagement that features open trade and mutual benefit. The choice will not only influence the future of China-EU economic relations, but also determine the EU's role in the global economic order. European countries should rationally consider this from an objective perspective, reflecting on how its "de-risking" practices have distracted the bloc's attention from its real security threat while misleading it to falsely identify a partner as a "threat".欧盟正处十字路口:或屈从于保护主义倾向,在互联世界中自我孤立;或选择理性公正的开放合作之路,践行互利共赢的贸易理念。这一抉择不仅将影响中欧经济关系的未来走向,更将决定欧盟在全球经济秩序中的定位。欧洲各国应当以客观视角理性审视:其“去风险化”举措不仅转移了欧盟对真正安全威胁的关注,更误导其将合作伙伴错误归类为“威胁”。de-risking去风险化Integral/ˈɪn.t̬ə.ɡrəl/adj.不可或缺的
There is a lot of uncertainty in our world today. Everywhere we look, things are falling apart. Politically, morally, and spiritually, people are becoming more divided than ever.

The Knesset Constitution Committee has begun deliberations on advancing government-backed legislation to establish a politically-appointed commission of inquiry into the October 7 attack. Opposition lawmakers boycotted the session and bereaved families demonstrated outside the Knesset, calling instead for a state commission of inquiry. Dr. Dana Blander, Research Fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute, spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal about the developments.

Clarity in Chaos: Staying Spiritually Focused in a Politically Confusing World
What is Appalachia? We're giving our entire Inside Appalachia episode over to this question this week, with stories from Mississippi to Pittsburgh.Appalachia connects mountainous parts of the South, the Midwest, the Rust Belt, even the Northeast. Politically, it encompasses 423 counties across 13 states — and West Virginia's the only state entirely inside Appalachia.That leaves so much room for geographic and cultural variation. This week, we ask people from five Appalachian states if they feel like they're in Appalachia.

Markets appear strong as we head into 2026, but beneath the surface, risks may be rising faster than returns. Each January, CEO and CIO of Crossmark Global Investments Bob Doll joins us on the show at Faith and Finance to offer an annual outlook, and this year he characterizes the environment as a “high-risk bull market”—a market capable of gains but vulnerable to setbacks and volatility.Looking back to 2025, Doll believes his predictions were roughly “seven out of ten.” Corporate earnings proved far more resilient than many expected, and with the Federal Reserve avoiding aggressive tightening, markets continued to climb. Earnings, Doll notes, remain the lifeblood of stocks: as long as profits grow and the Fed is not hostile, equity markets tend to trend upward.For 2026, Doll's first prediction is that U.S. real GDP growth will improve modestly—from about 2% to roughly 2.5%. He attributes much of that to a large government spending package passed in an election year, providing stimulus to both households and businesses.However, inflation remains stubborn. Doll does not expect the Fed to reach its 2% target unless a recession occurs—something he does not foresee. Instead, he anticipates inflation closer to 3%, making “affordability” a defining political issue, especially around healthcare and housing, where structural challenges remain unresolved.On interest rates, Doll expects the 10-year Treasury yield to fluctuate in a narrow range—from the high 3% area to the mid-4% area—while credit spreads widen modestly. For bond portfolios, he favors short- to intermediate-maturity bonds over long-duration bonds.Corporate earnings should remain strong in 2026, though not at the exceptional pace of 2025. With consensus forecasts near 14% earnings growth—almost double the historical norm—Doll expects solid but not spectacular performance. As a result, he anticipates single-digit stock market returns, not another year of outsized double-digit gains.Sector-wise, Doll sees continued strength in financials, technology, and communication services—areas tied closely to artificial intelligence—while materials, discretionary, and utilities may lag. International stocks could also surprise investors. If they outperform U.S. equities for a second consecutive year, it would be the first such streak in two decades. Stronger liquidity, improved earnings abroad (especially in emerging markets), and potential dollar weakness all contribute—even though many Americans invest little overseas.Artificial intelligence remains a powerful driver of productivity and market speculation, though Doll expects volatility as investors sort out the true winners and losers.Faith-based investing, he believes, will continue its momentum as more individuals, advisors, and institutions seek alignment between values and capital. Politically, Doll predicts Republicans retain the Senate but lose the House, constraining major legislative ambitions.If 2026 proves to be a high-risk bull market, Doll's takeaway is straightforward: remain diversified, stay invested, and practice patient stewardship through uncertainty.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are at retirement age, and we have four retirement accounts: three from former employers and one Vanguard IRA.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and here is where Dolly Parton has been holding court over the past few days. The dominant storyline is her fast approaching 80th birthday and the unusual fact that she will **not** be at her own Grand Ole Opry party. ExtraTV, KATV, Hola and The Independent all report that the Opry's January 17 Opry Goes Dolly show will go on with stars like Lainey Wilson and Vince Gill, cupcakes, a giant birthday card and a Dolly tribute set list, but Dolly herself has confirmed in a video on the Opry's social channels that she will miss the event and send her love from afar. Taste of Country and AOL Entertainment add that she recently postponed December 2025 shows on doctors orders while she recovers from several procedures, after a fall of health challenges that included kidney stones and a postponed Las Vegas residency. Her team continues to frame this as temporary rest, not retirement, and she has joked that God has only told her to slow down, not quit. Politically and culturally, she is still the voice of Tennessee. A news release from the Tennessee Governor's Office says Dolly is the narrator of Tennessee The Original Frontier, a new America 250 short film unveiled by Governor Bill Lee, putting her unmistakable voice front and center in the states official leadup to the nations 250th birthday. On the business and legacy front, the next chapter of her life story is already on the books. Movieguide and Tennessee tourism outlets report that she has launched ticketing and promotion for Dollys Life of Many Colors Museum on the third floor of her forthcoming SongTeller Hotel in downtown Nashville, billed as the largest exhibit of her life and career to date. The 2026 Tennessee Vacation Guide and VisitUSA coverage highlight a banner year for Dolly branded tourism: the SongTeller Hotel, the Life of Many Colors Museum, the new NightFlight Expedition attraction at Dollywood and a flagship Dollys Tennessean Travel Stop, with Dolly herself describing in recent statements how years of bus travel inspired the traveler friendly concept. Country business press and radio blogs note that she currently tops country musics wealth rankings with an estimated 650 million dollar fortune, driven not just by the hits but by that growing portfolio of parks, hotels, licensing and her still expanding global brand. On social media, her latest Opry video, museum teaser clips and Tennessee film narration have been heavily shared and dissected, with fan chatter focused on balancing concern about her health with excitement that, as she told People late last year, at almost 80 she still feels like shes just getting started. Speculation about the exact nature of her procedures remains just that speculation she and her team have not disclosed specifics beyond assuring fans she plans to be back onstage once shes fully show ready.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Use code TherapyShow50 for $50 off your first month - CLICK HERE. Key takeaways: Therapist bias is a real and growing concern. Many clients feel alienated due to perceived political or ideological leanings of their therapists, often unintentionally communicated through things like pronoun usage or assumptions about worldview. Most therapists lean left politically, which can lead to clients self-censoring, feeling misunderstood, or avoiding therapy altogether. The Open Therapy Institute (OTI) was created to support therapists who want to offer politically neutral, values-attuned therapy and serve populations that feel underserved, especially those with conservative or centrist views. Therapists can grow their practice by learning to work effectively with clients from across the political spectrum. There is high demand and low supply of therapists trained to do this well. We discussed the importance of dialectical thinking. This means helping clients (and ourselves) hold multiple perspectives and tolerate ambiguity, especially around politics, religion, and identity.

THE CHUTE SHOW AND THE RACE FOR COMMERCIAL CREW Colleague Eric Berger. SpaceX competed with Boeing to restore NASA's ability to launch astronauts, a program politically legitimized by Boeing's participation. Developing the Crew Dragon required rigorous testing, particularly by a team nicknamed the "Chute Show" who tested parachutes in the desert. While Boeing and SpaceX faced similar challenges, SpaceX optimized its Falcon 9 Block 5 for rapid reuse, hardening parts based on lessons from previous flights. Despite the inherent risks of human spaceflight, SpaceX ultimately succeeded in flying veteran astronauts to the station, maintaining reusability as a core requirement. NUMBER 7 1938

2025's Shocking Disclosures (Part 1) The Black Spy Podcast 225, Season 23, Episode 0005 This week's Black Spy Podcast sees host Carlton King and regular thrupple contributor Fergus Esack evaluate 2025 and the stories that have occurred during the year. 2025 will be remembered as a year of pressure, polarisation and profound questioning, and the Black Spy Podcast offers a measured yet unflinching evaluation of a world in flux. Across its episodes, the podcast reflects on how debates around gender continued to evolve, often framed by cultural anxiety, political opportunism and generational divides. These conversations were rarely simple, and Black Spy captured that complexity rather than reducing it to slogans. Politically, 2025 exposed deep fractures. From domestic power struggles to shifting alliances, the podcast assesses how trust in institutions was repeatedly tested. The European Union features as a central theme, navigating economic uncertainty, internal disagreements and its changing role on the global stage. War remains a grim constant. Black Spy surveys the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the continuing violence surrounding Israel, not to rehearse daily headlines, but to consider the wider human, political and moral consequences of prolonged conflict. These wars shaped diplomacy, energy policy and public opinion far beyond their borders. The year was also marked by a series of shocking incidents that jolted public consciousness—events that forced uncomfortable questions about security, social cohesion and leadership. In reviewing 2025, the Black Spy Podcast does not offer easy answers, but instead provides context, reflection and a clear-eyed assessment of a year that left few untouched. So, please get informed and don't miss these discussions by subscribing to the Black Spy Podcast for free, so you never miss another fascinating episode.
#Recap2025 #Politics #CircusArts #NewYear2026 #Artsadvocacy #CircusPolicyIn this Circuspreneur Podcast episode, Shenea Stiletto and Martin Frenette close out 2025 with a deep, honest conversation about where politics and circus intersect.From labor rights and the global economy to the ongoing impacts of the Russia–Ukraine conflict, Venezuela's instability, and the U.S. cultural funding debates, they unpack how current events ripple through the lives of artists and touring professionals.They also reflect on what 2026 could bring — new opportunities for creative policy, safer working environments, and a redefinition of what it means to be an artist in America today.
Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Maria Pechurina, Director of International Trade at Peacock Tariff Consulting Published: December 22 Length: ~30 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this Simply Trade Roundup, host Annik Sobing is joined by international trade and economic diplomacy expert Maria Pechurina for a deep dive into BRICS and what it means for global trade in 2026. Maria, who has a strong background in Chinese studies and international relations, explains how BRICS has expanded from its original five members to a much broader “BRICS Plus” bloc that now includes countries like Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, representing roughly 40% of global GDP, over 40% of the world's population, about a quarter of global merchandise exports, and potentially half of the world's oil production. Together, they explore how aggressive U.S. tariff policy in 2025 has accelerated a shift toward deeper BRICS cooperation and a more bipolar trading system. Maria illustrates this with examples such as U.S. tariffs on India that pushed New Delhi closer to Beijing and other BRICS partners, and she unpacks the growing trend toward non‑dollar settlement channels and local‑currency trade within the bloc. The conversation then turns to what all of this means for U.S.‑based trade and customs professionals, including the need to think in terms of “two playbooks” (U.S./EU vs. BRICS‑linked trade), prepare for more politically driven tariffs, and build scenarios and risk matrices that reflect a permanently more volatile environment. What You'll Learn in This Episode What BRICS and “BRICS Plus” are, who is involved, and why the bloc now represents a major share of global GDP, population, exports, and oil production. How U.S. tariffs and sanctions pressures in 2025 pushed countries toward deeper intra‑BRICS cooperation and regional trade (e.g., India–China, China–Brazil). Why 2025 effectively “broke” the old multilateral trade model and how 2026 is likely to cement a more bipolar system (U.S./EU vs. BRICS‑centric tracks). The rise of non‑dollar settlement and alternative payment systems, including local‑currency trade between Russia, China, India, and Brazil, and what that implies for dollar demand. How tariffs are increasingly used as political leverage, including “secondary” or punitive tariffs tied to countries' domestic or foreign policy choices. What a dual‑track supply chain strategy looks like in practice for U.S. importers and compliance teams. Key Takeaways BRICS is no longer a fringe coalition; it is a central, growing pillar of global trade and energy, with China as a major center of gravity. U.S. and EU trade professionals must be ready to manage two distinct regulatory environments at once, with different expectations on origin, currency, sanctions, and documentation. Politically driven, rapidly announced tariffs will remain a major planning risk, making scenario modeling and proactive supplier strategies essential. Smaller and mid‑sized companies can amplify their influence by working through trade and industry groups to communicate real‑world impacts to policymakers.

Donald Trump's primetime address this week was far less dramatic than advertised, but far more revealing than it looked at first glance. Stripped of the rumors and speculation, the speech functioned as a quiet reset on the issue that matters most to his presidency: the economy.Going into the address, expectations were wildly inflated. Cable chatter and online speculation had convinced many people that Trump was preparing to announce military action in Venezuela or unveil a sweeping foreign policy shift. Instead, the speech clocked in at just under 20 minutes and stayed tightly focused on affordability, inflation, and household pressure. That choice alone tells you where the White House believes its real vulnerability lies.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Trump did something slightly out of character by acknowledging economic strain without declaring immediate victory. He framed the economy as a process rather than a finished product, arguing that recovery takes time and patience. That is a notable shift from his usual insistence that conditions are already excellent. It was not an apology, but it was an admission that voters are not wrong to feel squeezed.Much of the address revolved around tariffs and tax policy, with Trump asking voters to accept short-term pain in exchange for long-term gain. He pitched tariffs as leverage that will eventually lower costs and increase domestic production, and he pointed to upcoming tax benefits tied to overtime, tips, and Social Security as proof that relief is coming. The problem is timing. Politically, promises that hinge on next year's tax filings are hard to feel in the present, especially when prices remain high.Trump's instinct throughout the speech was still salesmanship. He moved quickly, spoke loudly, and leaned on confidence rather than detail. The strongest moments came when he attacked insurance companies and framed his agenda as a fight against corporate abuse. Those lines landed because they matched public frustration. The weaker moments were the familiar optimism that everything is already turning the corner. For voters who do not feel that turn yet, tone matters as much as substance.This address was not about breaking news. It was about recalibration. Trump needed to re-anchor his presidency around the economy and away from foreign policy speculation, legal noise, and internal party drama. In that sense, the speech did its job. It lowered the temperature, narrowed the focus, and reminded supporters what they are supposed to be rooting for.Still, a reset speech only works if reality cooperates. If affordability does not improve, no amount of rhetorical discipline will save the argument. This speech could have been shorter, and it certainly could have been written as a memo. But compared to the expectations of escalation and crisis, it was a deliberate attempt to sound grounded. Whether voters reward that restraint is the question that will define the year ahead.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:34 - Trump's Affordability Speech00:12:23 - Brian Brushwood on Empathy00:28:53 - Update00:29:19 - Marijuana00:33:07 - Appropriations Package00:34:00 - DNC 2024 Report00:38:10 - Brian Brushwood on Empathy, con't01:01:32 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

This special Thanksgiving edition brings you part two of a dynamic Independent Veterans of America Winners Circle Town Hall featuring IVA 2026 Senate candidates Ty Pinkins of Mississippi and Dan Osborn of Nebraska—two independent veterans who are taking on entrenched incumbents, big money, and a broken two-party system. From New York City on Thanksgiving Day, Paul sets the table with gratitude for servicemembers, military families, cops, firefighters, and first responders who are working while the rest of America is watching parades and football. Then the conversation turns to the future: what it really looks like to run as an independent veteran in deeply red states, how to talk to voters across race and party lines in rural communities, and why so many Americans are fed up with being forced to choose between Trump on the right and Mamdani-style extremes on the left. Ty Pinkins shares what it means to campaign as an independent veteran in Mississippi—knocking doors in rural counties, bridging racial and political divides, and showing people that common sense, decency, and service still have a place in American politics. Dan Osborn, the former Navy veteran and mechanic who shook the establishment with a close U.S. Senate race in Nebraska, talks about why he is running again in 2026, how his grassroots movement has grown, and what it takes to challenge a billionaire-backed incumbent with nothing but grit, community, and a mission to put country first. Paul ties it all together with a Thanksgiving message about why veteran leadership matters as crises continue in places like Ukraine and Venezuela and as National Guard deployments ramp up at home, and why this independent veteran wave is just getting started. If you are an independent—or independent-curious—American who is tired of being politically homeless, or if you have ever thought about running for office yourself, this episode is a must-listen and a call to action. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

As you get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving, join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch. They each reveal three things or people they are politically thankful for in 2025.First, Jim applauds a reporter who broke the most significant political scoop of the year. And while it didn't change the outcome of the election, it does give Virginians clear eyes on what to expect over the next four years. Meanwhile, Greg applauds the Trump administration for getting it's most important policy priority done right - and almost instantly after taking office. Next, Jim has some fun and says he's thankful that he's not on the hook for designing secure facilities In Iran that turned out not to be so secure this year. Jim also utters a line likely to shock President Trump's staunchest supporters and his fiercest critics. Greg focuses on the homefront and is glad there is a backstop of sanity to deal with the blizzard of ridiculous rulings from federal judges playing politics from the bench.Finally, Jim is thankful for the establishment of honorable journalistic principles in a news cycle where reporters like Olivia Nuzzi are taking a blowtorch to any notion of ethical reporting. And Greg thanks outgoing Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin for four years of sanity as we buckle up for four years of dumpster fires from the Democrats.Please visit our great sponsors:Reach out.

7. Schleicher's Dismissal and Hindenburg's Manipulation. Timothy Ryback discusses how on January 28, 1933, Chancellor Schleicher requested six months of martial law from Hindenburg to allow the politically deteriorating Nazi party to stabilize and restore democracy. Hindenburg, angered by Schleicher trying to dictate terms and preempting the decision in a newspaper, dismissed him. Schleicher immediately attempted a coup by ordering Hammerstein, head of the Reichswehr, to intervene. Hindenburg, who proved to be stubborn and manipulative, blocked the coup and told Hammerstein to return to the garrison. Hindenburg then appointed Blomberg as the new Minister of Defense. Exhausted at age 84, Hindenburg ultimately made the "unpleasant task" of appointing Hitler Chancellor. 1933 VON PAPPEN
