There are moments when the soul calls us forward, only to be met with waves of grief. Sophie is here with us today, navigating the tender intersection of spiritual growth and devastating loss. After ending a relationship that no longer served her, she experienced the unexpected passing of two dear friends. The mind made a painful link: that choosing herself invited punishment, and that old story rooted in childhood pain and shame began to echo louder than her soul's truth. In this session, we explore how grief and growth often arrive hand in hand, and how past programming can make us fear expansion. Sophie's field reveals the belief that vulnerability leads to punishment, and we gently unravel the ancestral and inner child wounds that contribute to this narrative. Together, we remember that grieving does not mean you're broken — it means you're human, and that letting go isn't failure, but part of your sacred unfolding. This episode is a soft, powerful invitation to move beyond black-and-white thinking, reclaim your trust in the universe, and meet yourself in the messy, beautiful middle. May it remind you that your grief is holy, your healing is valid, and your becoming is worth the unraveling.

There are stories that make you question your faith in the system — and then there's Aaron Spencer's story. In October 2024, a decorated Army veteran from Lonoke County, Arkansas, woke to find his 14-year-old daughter gone. Her bed was staged with a decoy hoodie, her dog was barking, and every instinct in his body told him the unthinkable had happened. The man charged with stalking and assaulting her — 67-year-old Michael Fosler — had taken her again. Here's the part that will make your blood boil: Fosler was already facing 43 felony charges for child exploitation, grooming, and sexual indecency with a minor — this same child. He'd been arrested, charged, and then released by Judge Barbara Elmore on just $5,000 bond. The prosecutor of record, John Huggins, agreed to the terms. There was no ankle monitor, no high-risk supervision, no meaningful enforcement of the “no contact” order. That decision almost cost a girl her life. When Aaron Spencer found Fosler's truck on a dark Arkansas highway, his daughter was inside. He confronted the man, who refused to comply, grabbed for her again, and lunged. Aaron fired — ending the threat and saving his child. The next day, he was charged with second-degree murder and a firearm enhancement, facing up to 45 years. The same officials who freed the predator are now trying to bury the father. This episode exposes a catastrophic failure of the justice system — a prosecutor and judge whose decisions directly led to a child's kidnapping, a gag order that silenced the truth for months, and a father who did what they refused to do: protect his family. Now, Spencer is fighting back — not just in court, but on the ballot. He's running for sheriff of Lonoke County to fix the system that failed his daughter. It's not just a case. It's a referendum on justice itself. #AaronSpencer #ArkansasJustice #ChildProtection #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #JusticeSystemFailure #BarbaraElmore #JohnHuggins #FreeAaronSpencer #SystemAccountability Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send us a textI'm diving deep into Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 6 Episode 3, where I break down Lisa Barlow's exaggerated role at a Sundance Film Festival event based on my decade of experience producing at major festivals. I reveal surprising details about Bronwyn Newport's family dynamics with her late father David Richard Newport and critical mother, plus unpack a working theory about her sealed 2021 criminal charges involving felony grand theft and identity theft. I discuss Angie Katsanevas's father's wartime trauma, address Heather Gay's true feelings about Lisa Barlow that slipped out on camera, and analyze Lisa's multiple loan lawsuits with updates on which cases are actually dismissed versus still active. Then I shift to Sean "Diddy" Combs's recent 50-month prison sentence and explain the federal sentencing guidelines that led to this outcome. I cover the Kardashians' defamation lawsuit against Ray J and potential ties to the Jho Low scandal. The Real Housewives of Miami reunion drops a bombshell when Julia Lemigova confesses something shocking about Adriana de Moura, which I connect to patterns in Julia's complicated past. I address Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds marriage rumors stemming from his "fuck you" story at a film screening. Finally, I do an extensive investigation into Real Housewives of Orange County's Jennifer Pedroni's fiancé Ryan Boyajian and his connection to convicted illegal bookmaker Matthew Bowyer, revealing how Nicole Bowyer wasn't as innocent as she appeared and what this all means for Ryan's actual income sources.

How should we punish criminals? In Impermissible Punishments, the Arthur Liman Professor of Law at Yale Law School, Judith Resnik, provides a historical narrative of punishment in European and American prisons. Tracing the evolution from Jeremy Bentham's utilitarian Panopticon through post-World War II human rights frameworks, Resnik argues that punishment systems developed as a transatlantic rather than uniquely American project. Her analysis reveals how prisoners themselves, not reformers, first articulated the concept of retained rights during detention. Resnik's new book chronicles a crucial divergence after the 1980s, when European systems maintained stronger human rights commitments while American prisons retreated from recognizing prisoners as rights-bearing individuals, thereby making prison a problem for its democracy. 1. Prison systems developed as a transatlantic project, not American innovation Punishment theories and practices emerged from shared Enlightenment thinking across Europe and America in the 1700s-1800s. Figures like Beccaria, Bentham, and Tocqueville created interconnected ideas about rational, purposeful punishment that crossed national boundaries.2. Prisoners, not reformers, first articulated the concept of retained rights While reformers debated how to punish effectively, it was people in detention themselves—like Winston Talley in Arkansas in 1965—who first argued they retained fundamental rights during incarceration. This represented a revolutionary shift from viewing prisoners as "civilly dead."3. World War II created the crucial turning point for prisoners' rights The horrors of concentration camps and fascist regimes made clear the dangers of treating any group as less than human. The 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights and 1955 UN prison rules marked the formal recognition of prisoners as rights-bearing individuals.4. America and Europe diverged after the 1980s on prisoner treatment While both regions initially embraced prisoners' rights in the 1960s-70s, the U.S. retreated during the "war on crime" era. Europe maintained stronger human rights commitments, while America expanded punitive measures like solitary confinement and mass incarceration.5. Prison conditions reflect broader democratic health Resnik argues that how a society treats its most marginalized members—prisoners, immigrants, minorities—indicates the strength of its democratic institutions. Authoritarian treatment of any group threatens the rights of all citizens in a democratic system.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

A strange walk down memory lane, for some...

Emails, Ted's Meat & Potatoes has the best cereals of all time! Plus Headlines Mike is NOT working on!

Being punished for crimes you haven't committed yet sounds like Minority Report. But in 15 states—including California—it's the law. Under the Sexually Violent Predator Act (SVP), offenders who've already served their time can be held indefinitely if experts believe they're likely to reoffend. In this episode of DEVIANT: Off Script, host Dan Szematowicz sits down with Dr. Samantha Stein, forensic psychologist and author of Evil at Our Table: Inside the Minds of the Monsters Who Live Among Us. Dr. Stein is one of the few evaluators trusted to decide whether violent sexual offenders should be involuntarily hospitalized after release. We dive into: How the SVP program actually works—and why it's so controversial. The cases of “Joe” and “Luke Miller,” two offenders whose outcomes highlight the tension between public safety and civil liberties. The emotional toll of sitting across from serial predators—and why treating them can sometimes feel like prevention work. The broader questions society faces when deciding how to deal with people who've committed unthinkable crimes. It's a rare, unflinching look inside a system that blurs the line between justice and prediction. Samantha Stein's book, Evil at Our Table, is available wherever books are sold, including here: https://a.co/d/c7huoJB

A viral trend called “FAFO parenting” is exploding on TikTok and even making headlines in the Wall Street Journal. Advocates say it’s the antidote to “soft” parenting — let kids fuss around and find out the hard way. But is this tough-love comeback really preparing kids for life or setting them up for harm? In this episode, Justin and Kylie unpack the hype, the dangers, and the research-backed alternative every parent needs to hear. In this episode: What FAFO (“Fuss Around and Find Out”) parenting actually looks like — and why it’s trending The three big claims FAFO parents make Why FAFO backfires The vital difference between natural consequences and manufactured hardships How “need-supportive parenting” builds resilience without breaking trust QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Discipline isn’t about hurting kids to prove a point. It’s about problem-solving so they can discover the lesson.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Wall Street Journal article on FAFO parenting (subscription required) Alfie Kohn, Punished by Rewards More parenting resources: happyfamilies.com.au ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Resist the temptation to outsource learning to punishment. When mistakes happen, guide your child through problem-solving instead of powerplays. Protect the parent–child relationship — resilience grows best where trust is strong.

Women were prosecuted for experiencing miscarriage or stillbirth even before the Supreme Court swept away the protections of Roe v. Wade. But these prosecutions have ramped up since, in both red and blue states. The stakes are ramping up too, with legislators introducing bills that would treat abortion as homicide, potentially subjecting patients to the death penalty. This week, Mark Joseph Stern talks with Karen Thompson, the legal director of Pregnancy Justice. They discuss what happens when the state decides a fetus, or even an embryo, has equal or greater rights than pregnant people. As fetal personhood legislation moves ahead in more and more red states, this concept is also seeping into the law in blue states. Women have been jailed because their pregnancies ended in a way the state disliked. Grandmothers have been prosecuted decades after pregnancy loss thanks to investigators using forensic genetic genealogy to hunt them down. As Thompson explains, a frightening frontier in the battle for bodily autonomy and reproductive rights is here, and it demands our attention.    Learn more about your ad choices.

They discuss what happens when the state decides a fetus, or even an embryo, has equal or greater rights than pregnant people. As fetal personhood legislation moves ahead in more and more red states, this concept is also seeping into the law in blue states. Women have been jailed because their pregnancies ended in a way the state disliked. Grandmothers have been prosecuted decades after pregnancy loss thanks to investigators using forensic genetic genealogy to hunt them down. As Thompson explains, a frightening frontier in the battle for bodily autonomy and reproductive rights is here, and it demands our attention.    Want more Amicus?

Friday's 9am hour of Mac & Cube started off with a discussion on which transfer QB will have the best year; then, the guys go through the big early games and say what needs to be done to get a win for Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee; later, Cole & Greg drop their thoughts on Michigan's punishment for the Connor Stallions controversy; and finally, we lay out or TV watching plans, thanks to TD's Fine Furniture. "McElroy & Cubelic In The Morning" airs 7am-10am weekdays on WJOX-94.5!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you had been present during Jesus' crucifixion, how would you have responded? There are four different characters and responses Pastor J.D. is going to walk us through to give us pictures of how we might have responded then and how we can still respond to Jesus today.

The events surrounding the trial of Jesus are recorded to show us that we are the ones who are actually on trial. In these stories we should see ourselves—and they should make us consider how we are responding to Jesus. We are Judas. We are Peter. And today, we'll see we are also those involved in the trial of Jesus.
