May 21, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 136 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the latest news concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers and that includes the waiving of OL Lecitus Smith on Tuesday. We go on to discuss the current depth issues facing the Steelers this summer when it comes to their offensive line unit. The NFL is addressing and voting on several rule change proposals on Wednesday, so Alex and I make sure to recap all of those. We discuss NFL players now being allowed to compete in the Olympics in flag football, the fairness of the Tush Push and the new rule concerning onside kickoffs. Alex and I briefly look ahead at the teams that might be looking to select a quarterback in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft and how that could impact the Steelers wanting to do so. We also briefly discuss how much work Steelers rookie QB Will Howard might get this summer in training camp and the preseason. Howard had an interview with Kay Adams at the annual NFL Rookie Premier event, so we go over a few things that he said during it. The Steelers reportedly indeed had some level of interest in trading for New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave earlier in the offseason, so Alex and I go over that little nugget that was passed along on Wednesday morning. Alex and I then move on to talk about Steelers rookie RB Kaleb Johnson as it relates to his pass protection ability in college. We go over what the tape says concerning that phase of his game. Steelers DT Cameron Heyward made his thoughts known recently about the team's travel plans for their last international game several years ago, so we make sure to go over his comments on that topic. This 83-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap. We end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The State Department has released a reorganization plan that would usher in significant changes to the way the United States conducts its diplomacy and foreign assistance, at a time of considerable geopolitical change. Proposals by the Trump administration include eliminating or restructuring a number of the Department's longstanding functions, dissolving and/or folding USAID into State, and imposing large budget and staffing cuts. Debates over how to structure and optimize the State Department, and U.S. foreign assistance programs in particular, are nothing new. But important questions remain about these proposals—including how they may interact with Congressional prerogatives; their implications for the conduct of U.S. foreign policy amidst compounding global crises; and, ultimately, whether these changes may herald a more streamlined and effective bureaucracy or undermine U.S. diplomatic power.On May 14, 2025, the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security convened an expert panel to consider these vitally important developments and to unpack what's happening, what's at stake, and what lies ahead. Show Notes: Dani Schulkin, Tess Bridgeman, and Andrew Miller's “What Just Happened: The Trump Administration's Reorganization of the State Department – and How We Got Here” Ambassador Daniel Fried's “The US Government's Self-Harm in Killing RFE/RL” and “Is the U.S. Abandoning the Fight Against Foreign Information Operations?” Hon.

“Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever…” - Proverbs 27:23-24These days, our “flocks and herds” often look like stocks and mutual funds, not sheep and cattle. But the call to wise stewardship remains. One way we do that is through proxy voting. Jerry Bowyer joins us to explain how and why it matters.  Jerry Bowyer is the President of Bowyer Research and our Resident Economist here at Faith & Finance. He is the author of The Maker Versus the Takers: What Jesus Really Said About Social Justice and Economics.What Is Proxy Voting?Proxy voting is similar to civic voting. As a citizen, you vote in elections, attend town halls, and even influence legislation. As a shareholder in a company, if you own the stock directly, you have similar rights: to vote on proposals, ask questions, and even submit resolutions.But if you're invested through mutual funds or ETFs, you hand that vote over to someone else—often a fund manager or institution. And unless you know how they're voting, your values may not be represented at all.Many Christian ministries, nonprofits, and even pro-life organizations are unknowingly voting against their own missions. Why? Because they either don't engage in proxy voting or delegate it without vetting the recipient's values.How Can Investors Reclaim Their Voice?Proxy statements are often long, complex, and written in confusing legal language. For that reason, many advisors default to saying, “Just let the client decide,” rather than helping them engage meaningfully.Of course, that's not a good sign because if it's too complex for the advisor, it's definitely too complex for the client. Instead, we encourage advisors and Christian investors to partner with specialists, like Bowyer Research, who can help decode the process and ensure votes reflect biblical values.They offer audits to show investors how they've been voting—often to their shock. They've never done one where people weren't stunned by what they saw.Mutual Funds, ETFs, and the Challenge of Indirect OwnershipIf you're invested through mutual funds or ETFs, you're likely not voting directly. However, that doesn't mean you're powerless. Here are some things to keep in mind:You can request data on how your funds are voting. Bowyer Research tracks that. You can explore “direct indexing” solutions—an increasingly available strategy that allows you to own shares directly and reclaim your voting rights. You can ask your advisor questions. “How am I voting?” is a simple but powerful question. If your advisor can't answer it, that's a red flag.What You Can Do TodayAsk your advisor how your shares are being voted. If they don't know, press in.Get an audit of your proxy voting records through BowyerResearch.com.Talk to companies, not just about them. Change happens through engagement, not complaint.If you're an investor, advisor, or leader at a Christian ministry or nonprofit, don't let your investments work against your mission. Visit BowyerResearch.com to learn how to align your proxy voting with your values.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 27 and own 20 acres of land. Should I use the land as collateral for a house loan, or use my saved money to get a bigger loan and increase my land's equity?I opened a Roth IRA with National Life Group in 2013. It's past the surrender fee date, but it's not earning me much. I'll be 66 in July, and I'm single with no one to depend on. I also have another annuity with F and G that I'm not happy with.

In 2010, the Association for Information Systems formed a special interest group () to nurture an international community of academics that study the role of digital technologies in fostering environmentally, economically and socially sustainable development. Fifteen years later, we sit down with , the current SIGGreen president, to reflect on the progress we have made. What do we know about how digital technologies help greening our planet? What efforts in empirical, theoretical, and design work is still needed? Is our role to understand the role of digital technologies or do we need to push and enact change ourselves? We conclude that environmental questions and problems are now firmly on the radar screen of our discipline but more work needs to be done for information systems academics to transform the way we think about and use digital technologies.  Episode reading list Corbett, J., & Mellouli, S.

In Hour 3, Lucas Tomlinson discusses President Trump's diplomatic trip to Saudi Arabia, focusing on potential trade deals in the Middle East and the release of the first American hostage in Gaza. He also touches on the significance of a potential airplane gift from Qatar and updates on the China trade deal. Dan Snell, political expert, delves into the proposed tax increase on millionaires, examining the broader implications for the economy and the political landscape. He also explores President Trump's executive order on pharmaceutical drug pricing, balancing the need for price reduction with maintaining research incentives. The hour wraps up with discussions on the market's reaction to the China trade deal, media bias in reporting market performance, and Charles Barkley's controversial comments on transgender athletes. There's also a lighthearted segment on cooking crabs in an air fryer, offering a fun break from the serious topics.

In this episode, Susan Pendergrass speaks with Andrew G. Biggs, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), about the current state and future of Social Security. They discuss the dangers of a proposed temporary elimination of taxes on Social Security benefits, which could harm the program's finances and incentivize early retirement, an outcome that could undercut long-term retirement security. Biggs explains that this move would offset one of the greatest contributors to the success of America's retirement system and worsen the funding gaps of Social Security. They also cover concerns about the sustainability of the program, the shift from pensions to 401(k) plans, and the need for sound public policy to address these challenges.

Part 2: Patricia and Christian continue their conversation with economist, author, and founder of Modern Money Lab Professor Professor Steven Hail about the well-intentioned (taxing the rich is good!) but counter-productive call for a wealth tax to “fund” life-saving support for vulnerable people (needlessly waiting for the rich to cough up while people suffer and die is bad!) and, of course - those beautiful tariffs.   Full conversation here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/126627127     Please help sustain this podcast!  Patrons get early access to all episodes and patron-only episodes: https://www.patreon.com/MMTpodcast     All our episodes in chronological order: https://www.patreon.com/posts/43111643   All our patron-only episodes: https://www.patreon.com/posts/57542767   LIVE EVENTS!
