The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – For years, the word protest has taken on new meaning in America's social and political vocabulary. Acts that would once have been universally condemned — looting, burning buildings, and assaulting others — have been rebranded as expressions of frustration or even righteousness. Politicians have justified them, news anchors have downplayed them, and public...

The ceasefire in Gaza is just four days old, and already there are signs of tension: Hamas says it's handed over all the hostages remains it can access, without specialist equipment. Israel is restricting aid in retaliation. Meanwhile, Israel returned 120 bodies of Palestinians held during the war, some of which show signs of abuse and beating. And with Hamas reasserting its authority in brutal fashion against ordinary Palestinians there are also growing questions around the future governance of Gaza. Nasser al-Kidwa is a well-known Palestinian politician, nephew of Yasser Arafat and former Foreign Minister for the Palestinian Authority. In recent years he's worked on a peace plan alongside former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Al-Kidwa joins Christiane from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

In Part Two of our series on anger, we get honest about what happens when anger stops being a tool for truth and starts becoming a trap. From the self-righteous outrage that fuels online culture to the quiet, corrosive resentment that poisons connection, we explore how ego, projection, and unhealed pain distort our sense of justice.We also ask: why are narcissists and politicians so good at weaponizing anger—and what can we learn from that about our own patterns?Join us for stories, laughter, and a few uncomfortable truths about the difference between clarity and control, anger and arrogance.
Tom Brokaw famously described America's World War II servicemen as the “Greatest Generation”. But according to the historian David Nasaw, the Americans who fought in the Second World War are better understood as The Wounded Generation. His eponymous new book describes the pain and hardships that 16 million veterans endured upon their return home - a tragic story of PTSD, racism and family breakup. Brokaw celebrated the nobility with which these ex-soldiers got on with civilian life without either complaining or even talking about the war. But for Nasaw, this silence wasn't just stoicism—it was often undiagnosed and sometimes even untreatable trauma.1. WWII Was America's Longest and Most Brutal War The average soldier served nearly three years in uniform (compared to less than one year in WWI), with 75% deployed overseas. Combat on the European front was relentless, especially in the final year, with severe manpower shortages keeping GIs on the front lines for weeks or months without relief.2. Millions Returned with Undiagnosed PTSD Veterans came home with what we now recognize as PTSD, but it was neither diagnosed nor treated. Unable to talk about their experiences, many self-medicated with alcohol. The silence wasn't stoicism—it was trauma. Writers like Salinger and Vonnegut could only process their experiences through fiction years later.3. The GI Bill Excluded Most Black Veterans While celebrated as transformative legislation, the GI Bill's benefits were distributed by local officials. In the South, this meant Black veterans were systematically denied college access (segregated schools were full) and unemployment benefits (they were told to return to sharecropping). Only Northern Black veterans like Harry Belafonte, John Coltrane, and Tito Puente could fully access their benefits.4. America Faced Its Worst Housing Crisis Ever No homes had been built during the Depression or the war years, creating unprecedented shortages when 16 million servicemen returned. This housing crisis, combined with fears of renewed economic depression, added to veterans' anxiety about rebuilding their lives. Politicians like JFK and Jacob Javits fought hard for veterans' housing subsidies.5. The War's Aftermath Lasted Decades 1946 saw record divorce rates and increased lynchings as racial tensions exploded. Veterans who liberated concentration camps or survived POW camps (especially in the Pacific) carried lifelong trauma. Nasaw's central message: wars don't end with peace treaties—the harm to soldiers and civilians lasts for generations.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

1010 WINS Reporter Juliet Papa has the story.
This episode is not for comfort. It's not a pep talk. Today, we're stepping onto the most controversial ground yet: the death penalty.In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, the world screams for vengeance. Politicians demand execution. The mob cries for blood. But as followers of Christ, we don't answer to the mob—we answer to the Word of God. And the Word is clear: if you call yourself pro-life, you cannot be pro-death penalty.This episode dismantles the cultural and even Christian arguments for capital punishment, exposing it as a barbaric counterfeit for true, biblical justice. We're called to a higher standard—one that chooses mercy when the world demands retribution.When the crowd shouts, “Crucify him!” will you join the chant? Or will you echo the heart of the One who said, “Father, forgive them”?Buckle up. This one's raw, uncomfortable, and rooted in the radical mercy of Jesus Christ."For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment." – James 2:13Episode Highlights:18:22 - What kind of people are we becoming when we endorse the death penalty? We say we're pro-life, but are we really? We march for unborn children, but cheer when the state straps someone to a gurney. We post Bible verses about forgiveness, but applaud when the needle slides in. We claim to follow the Prince of Peace, but align ourselves with systems of death. We can't have it both ways. Either life is sacred or it isn't.29:12 -Jesus was executed by the state. He was the victim of a corrupt trial, a bloodthirsty crowd, and a merciless governor... And what did he say as the nails were driven into his wrists? According to Luke chapter 23, verse 34, he said this, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." If Jesus prayed for the forgiveness of his executioners, how can we cheer for the execution of others?57:55 - So here's the call for all of us, my brothers and sisters in Christ, we must reject the death penalty. Not because it's politically trendy, not because it makes us look compassionate, but because it's a gospel imperative. To follow Christ is to lay down vengeance. To bear the cross is to refuse to pick up the sword. To proclaim the sanctity of life is to defend it consistently, without exception. That means when politicians demand executions, we must say no. When the mob cries for blood, we must say no.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

Despite the inaction of the Democratic Party leadership, the consensus among the base of the Democratic Party is for the U.S. government to end its support of Israel's efforts to commit genocide in Palestine. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “Democratic Leadership Still Hasn't Caught Up to the Party's Base on Gaza” by Stephen Zunes in In These Times, which explores and analyzes the growing calls for the end of U.S. support for Israel among Democratic voters in the face of the inaction and ineffectiveness of the Democratic Party leadership to force changes in the government's position, and what we learn and take away from this piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland now have a fuller picture of the #SquiresGate case in Hilton Head Island after it went viral last week. On today's episode, the gang talks about what it took to get the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office to fire off-duty deputy Master Sgt. Billy Squires after video emerged of him pointing his service weapon at four teenagers in his neighborhood on a Sunday evening while allegedly intoxicated and wearing part of his uniform over his regular clothes. A shocking video depicts the kids begging for their lives and one of them calling out his mom had people across the spectrum and all over the world calling for justice. It took five days for the sheriff's office to terminate Squires even though many of his 11 policy violations were immediately apparent. Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about what it took to pressure the good ole boys into holding one of their own accountable. *Since recording this episode, Live 5 News Reported SLED Chief Mark Keel said, “At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set. SLED agents have preliminarily found there is no evidence to support a pre-fire explosion.” Referring to Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein's house fire. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Deputy fired for ‘multiple' policy violations, Beaufort County sheriff says” - Live5 WCSC, Updated Oct 4, 2025

Jeffrey Epstein was a steady political donor for years, spreading money across both parties while cultivating influence. From 1989 to 2003, he gave more than $139,000 to Democrats and over $18,000 to Republicans, often in relatively small increments that added up over time. His contributions included donations to figures like Chuck Schumer in the 1990s and a $50,000 check to Bill Richardson's 2002 gubernatorial campaign in New Mexico. Beyond politics, Epstein also positioned himself as a benefactor in academic and cultural circles, with his foundations giving more than $30 million to universities and institutions, furthering his attempts to launder legitimacy and credibility through philanthropy.Epstein's financial ties also reached organizations connected to the United Nations. The International Peace Institute (IPI), a think tank closely tied to the UN, received donations from his network, prompting scandal years later when it was revealed the contributions were not fully disclosed. In 2020, IPI president Terje Rød-Larsen resigned after admitting to accepting Epstein-linked funds, even as he claimed they represented only a small portion of IPI's budget. Reports also show Epstein helped facilitate or influence funding for UN-affiliated projects alongside other wealthy donors, such as through connections with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. While these donations may not have gone directly to the UN itself, they highlight how Epstein used philanthropy and political giving to maintain access to power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Your financial advisor hates this bull market! Find out what it is as we talk the recent market conditions as well as the potential upcoming government shutdown, noting that while shutdowns once spooked markets, investors have become largely desensitized as they rarely have major lasting effects outside of government employees and contractors. Shutdowns have historically been used as political tools, sometimes causing GDP drag and reputational costs, but now often register as background noise. We also chat about seasonal and cyclical inflection points—like quarter-ends, tax-loss selling, and earnings season—that can drive short-term volatility. It's important to keep your perspective, recognizing political drama as a “circus,” and instead focusing on underlying market cycles. Today we discuss... Government shutdowns used to trigger fear in markets but now typically cause little more than short-term noise. Politicians increasingly use shutdowns as leverage tools in budget negotiations rather than genuine fiscal concerns. Past shutdowns have shown temporary GDP drag but very little lasting structural harm to markets. Markets tend to quickly recover after shutdown drama fades, reinforcing investor desensitization. The real drivers of volatility now are cyclical factors like quarter-end portfolio adjustments and tax-loss harvesting. Earnings season consistently creates inflection points for markets, often outweighing political headlines. Seasonal forces can exaggerate short-term market swings, particularly in September and October. Positioning between defensive stocks and growth stocks is more critical for risk management than reacting to shutdown fears. Broader global market trends often matter more than U.S. political events. U.S. small-cap stocks have underperformed compared to large caps and international equities, reflecting structural weaknesses. Investors should focus on long-term positioning rather than reacting to short-lived shutdown volatility. Shutdowns reveal the widening gap between political theater and actual economic fundamentals. Short-term market noise from shutdowns can actually create opportunities for disciplined investors. Shutdowns are best understood as temporary disruptions, not trend-defining events.

Individual voters have little reason to become informed. Politicians have strong incentives to pander rather than persuade. Partisans are rewarded for tribal loyalty rather than epistemic integrity.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/when-political-violence-becomes-signal
We talk with North Carolina State political scientist Andrew J. Taylor about his new book, A Tolerance for Inequality: American Public Opinion and Economic Policy, probing why voters often prefer public goods and tax cuts over classic redistribution—and how policy frequently tracks aggregate opinion more than pundits admit. Taylor also explores why blue-collar districts don't reliably elect blue-collar representatives and what that says about representation. Plus: the Spiel on the James Comey indictment—why prosecutors previously declined the case, how the McCabe leak finding undercuts the charge, and why this looks like executive retribution rather than justice.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Luke 9:18-22 - Once when Jesus was praying in solitude, and the disciples were with Him, He asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, ‘One of the ancient prophets has arisen.'” Then He said to them, “But Who do you say that I am?” Peter said in reply, “The Christ of God.” He rebuked them and directed them not to tell this to anyone. He said, “The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.” Memorial of Saints Cosmas and Damian, Martyrs Saints Cosmas and Damian, pray for us!
