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.

Officially, the Federal Reserve is being investigated by the Justice Department over office building renovations. But in a video statement Sunday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the investigation, which includes a threat of criminal charges, is “a consequence” of the Fed maintaining its independence from President Trump.

In this episode I had a powerful conversation with Dr. Andrew Hartz, a clinical psychologist and founder of the Open Therapy Institute. We explored how politics, values, and therapy are increasingly showing up together in the therapy room and why that matters for both clients and clinicians. What's New with Berries: Berries now lets you generate a complete, personalized treatment plan in seconds - built from your diagnoses, session notes, and clinical preferences, using customizable templates that match your voice and style. Its powerful "golden thread" ensures your treatment plan and notes stay clinically aligned, continuously informing each other as care evolves. With the new Magic Update feature, your plan updates effortlessly without the need to rewrite from scratch. The result? A streamlined workflow where every session builds on the last, and documentation becomes part of your clinical process - not just another admin task.  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.​ Credits Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Maria Pechurina – Peacock Tariff Consulting Producer: Lalo Solorzano Subscribe & Follow New Roundup episodes every week.

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.

The "premium international dating" (PID) industry, a global business often stereotyped or misunderstood, sits at the intersection of globalization, technology, and shifting cultural norms. It is an industry that raises complex questions about gender, economics, and the very nature of romantic relationships in the 21st century. To understand this complex field, Finance Colombia'sExecutive Editor, Loren Moss, sat down with Dr. Julia Meszaros, Associate Professor of Sociology at East Texas A&M University who has spent over a decade researching the motivations, mechanisms, and outcomes of the PID scene.

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.

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.

e-flux journal Associate Editor Andreas Petrossiants talks to author Andrew Ross about his recent book, The Weather Report: A Journey Through Unsettled Climates. Between the summers of 2023 and 2024, Andrew Ross visited Ramallah (Palestine), Dubai (UAE), Phoenix (USA), and Shanghai (China)—some of the landscapes most disturbed by human activity, whether through active warfare or massive development projects. Rather than offering another eco-polemic or recalling for us the dread prognostications of Malthus in the 19th century or Ehrlich in the 20th, The Weather Report is a clear-eyed and essentially optimistic book that proposes a pragmatic, just, and urgent new common ground reestablishing scalable projects of mutual aid and care as a new, essential center for our economic, ecological, and social well-being.  Andrew Ross is a social activist and Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at NYU. A contributor to The Guardian, The New York Times, The Nation, Artforum, Jacobin, New York Review of Books, and Al Jazeera, he is the author or editor of almost 30 books and hundreds of articles on a wide variety of topics—labor and work, urbanism, politics, technology, environmental justice, alternative economics, music, film, TV, art, architecture, and poetry. His articles have appeared in newspapers and magazines as well as in academic and public interest journals, and his books are published by mainstream trade, academic, and independent presses. He has lectured at hundreds of universities and cultural institutions in North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Australia. Politically active in many movement fields, he is the co-founder of several groups–Gulf Labor Artists Coalition, Global Ultra Luxury Faction, Coalition for Fair Labor, Occupy Student Debt Campaign, Strike Debt, the Debt Collective, and Decolonize This Place—and is an organizer with others, including the American Association of University Professors and the US Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. He also serves on the steering committee of the national network of Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine. Ross's books include The Weather Report; A Journey Through Unsettled Climates, Abolition Labor: The Fight to End Prison Slavery, Cars and Jails: Freedom Dreams, Debt, and Carcerality, Sunbelt Blues: The Failure of American Housing, Stone Men: The Palestinians Who Built Israel (winner of a Palestine Book Award), Creditocracy and the Case for Debt Refusal, Bird On Fire: Lessons from the World's Least Sustainable City, Nice Work If You Can Get It: Life and Labor in Precarious Times, Fast Boat to China: Corporate Flight and the Consequences of Free Trade–Lessons from Shanghai, Low Pay, High Profile: The Global Push for Fair Labor, No-Collar: The Humane Workplace and its Hidden Costs, The Celebration Chronicles: Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Property Value in Disney's New Town, Real Love: In Pursuit of Cultural Justice, The Chicago Gangster Theory of Life: Nature's Debt to Society, Strange Weather: Culture, Science and Technology in the Age of Limits, and No Respect: Intellectuals and Popular Culture.

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

Trump Administration Sanctions Hit Russia's Oil Lifeline. Michael Bernstam discussed the Trump administration's politically significant sanctions targeting Russia's two largest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, affecting 56% of Russian output. The sanctions caused world oil prices to jump temporarily and elicited an immediate angry response from Putin, who called it an "unfriendly act." The primary financial impact on Russia will be much deeper discounts demanded by buyers, significantly hurting the Russian budget. Europe is meanwhile nearing liberation from Russian energy dependence due to abundant US liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Part 1: Antifa Designation Announcement: Former President Donald Trump declared Antifa a major terrorist organization. Context: The declaration followed the reported assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which Trump and allies framed as evidence of left-wing extremism. Key Points: Antifa is described as a loosely affiliated ideology, not a centralized group. Trump emphasized “following the money” to identify who funds Antifa-related activities. He suggested possible use of RICO laws to prosecute funders and agitators. The administration anticipated legal challenges from groups like the ACLU and SPLC, citing constitutional concerns (free speech, assembly, due process). Politically, the move was presented as a fight the White House was “happy to have,” despite opposition from Democrats. Part 2: Federal Reserve Interest Rate Cuts Background: Trump had been pushing the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates more aggressively, often criticizing Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Decision: The Fed cut rates by 0.25 percentage points, marking the first cut in Trump’s second term. Significance: The cut signals concern over a slowing job market and rising unemployment. It also shows the Fed balancing two pressures: supporting jobs while controlling inflation. Trump-aligned Fed members favored deeper cuts (0.5%). The decision benefits borrowers (credit cards, home equity loans), though it’s not seen as a complete fix for the economy. Framing in the podcast: The host portrays this as a major political and economic victory for Trump, arguing it validates his long-standing criticisms of Powell and the Fed.
