Paracha Toldot : « la racine du Mal » 19/11/2025 by Rav David SHOUSHANA

Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord as long as I live (Psalm 146:1-2). Amen.Racine – in southeastern Wisconsin, where we recently moved from – has already received 13 inches of snow, causing travel issues, school closures, and buried cars. Then Racine warmed up and had rain. Now they're experiencing single digit, and even negative, temperatures to freeze all that rain and melted snow to create even more dangerous conditions.That's way east of us. How about north and south of us? Up to 2 feet of snow is expected in Yellowstone National Park this week. The Snowy Range has already received 75 inches of snow in 40 hours!Yet here we are in Casper, enjoying 50-degree weather for several days in a row. We've also had several days of 50 plus mph winds. Because everything is a contest, I may have rubbed it in to my friends back in Racine about our wonderful weather. I did admit that it was a tad breezy, though.Wyoming meteorologist, Don Day commented on this week's wind, "If it's windy, it's not going to be terribly cold. It's rare to have 50-degree days and no wind in winter. When it gets really cold, it doesn't get really windy. It's when we're in between cold snaps and warmups, that we have the worst winds." Day calls these "50-50 days." "When it's 50 degrees, you'll have 50 mph winds," he said. "If you don't like the wind, you better like the cold. That's just what it is to live in Wyoming." I don't know if you agree with him or not. He's the Wyoming meteorologist. You're the ones who've been living in Wyoming.Either way, you must admit this is pretty great weather for winter in the desert.The Sahara Desert is an "absolute desert" where almost no rain falls. Isaiah's original audience lived in a "tame desert" like here in Casper. In Israel, the rain is confined to the spring – March, April, and May. It's similar here, plus the snow in the winter. The Israelites lived in a physical desert.The Israelites also lived in a spiritual desert. The ten northern tribes of Israel were on the brink of destruction. The Assyrian army was about to overrun them. The people in the northern tribes would be carried into captivity to disappear from history.The two remaining southern tribes in Judah would be spared … but not for long. In a few generations, the Babylonians would move south to carry them into captivity in Babylon.Things looked bleak for Isaiah's audience. Things looked hopeless. Things looked desperate in the desert. The cities would be ghost towns. Their fields would be wastelands. Their people would be gone.God sent Isaiah as Israel's prophet because he wanted his people to understand why this was happening. It wasn't because God didn't love them. He did. He refused to watch them wallow in the filth of their sin any longer. He needed to show them how much they needed him. They needed a taste of his earthly discipline to repent and return. If they continued down their own way, they would experience God's eternal wrath.Do you feel like you're living in the desert? Not the physical desert of Casper or Wyoming. But the spiritual desert where your life appears bleak, dry, and dreary? Where it feels like God doesn't love you? If that's how you feel, I ask you, are you living in unrepentant sin? Are you confessing some sins while holding onto other sins? Are you going through the motions of Christianity while being passionate about other pursuits? Are you confessing one thing on Sunday morning but living out other things the rest of the week?Could your bleak, dry, and dreary life be brought on by yourself? God does not bless sin. He doesn't bless anything that pulls you away from his presence. Or could your spiritual desert be a result of God disciplining you like he did with Isaiah's audience?Like a good father, the Lord disciplines his children for their good. Jesus said, "I rebuke and discipline those whom I love. So take this seriously and repent" (Revelation 3:19). God uses discipline to lead us back to him. He lets us feel the pain of past mistakes. He permits us to stand in place surrounded by our shattered dreams and broken relationships. He lets us feel the misery of our own making. God does this to gain our attention. When we're lost in the desert, there's only one road that leads us to safety.Isaiah speaks of this road. "A highway will be there, a road that will be called the holy way. The impure will not walk there. It will be reserved for those who walk in that holy way. Wicked fools will not wander onto it. No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious animal go up on it. They will not be found there, but only the redeemed will walk there. Then those ransomed by the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with a joyful shout, and everlasting joy will crown their heads. Happiness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away" (Isaiah 35:8-10).Earlier this week, Austin Dirks was out hiking by himself in Arches National Park when he broke through what appeared to be solid ground. He got stuck at a 45-degree angle in quicksand. Thankfully, because Dirk is an experienced desert hiker, he had his satellite phone handy. He was rescued in the desert after 2 hours.Those in Isaiah's audience – and we in this audience – are stuck in something far worse than quicksand in the desert. We are stuck in a spiritual wasteland. Jesus our coming Messiah arrives to rescue us. He comes on the holy way that leads to Zion – the New Jerusalem – of the Christian Church. Our Messiah comes to us in Word and Sacraments to rescue, redeem, and lead us out of trouble into the safety of his Christian Church.Christ's way is a safe highway in the desert. There aren't any ferocious beasts on his highway. No lions in Israel. No coyotes, bears or mountain lions here. There won't be any wicked people or foolish people on this road. Unlike the semi drivers blown over on I-80 in 105 mph winds, clogging up traffic and putting everyone in danger. Everyone on Christ's highway knows where they're going. This road is reserved only for those who "walk in that holy way."This highway is only for the redeemed and ransomed. Those who were stuck and have been rescued. Those who were lost and have been found. Those who were trapped by the Devil and have been redeemed. Our Messiah traveled from the paradise of heaven into the desert of this world to rescue us. He brings us back on his highway.Brings us back to where? Christ rescues us from a bleak, dry, dreary desert to bring us into another desert. This is a very different desert. This is a desert that will be glad."The wilderness and the desert will be glad. The wasteland of the Arabah will rejoice and blossom like a crocus. It will bloom lavishly, and there will be great joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it. It will be excellent like Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God. … Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unplugged. The crippled will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy. Waters will flow in the wilderness, and streams in the wasteland. The burning sand will become a pool, and in the thirsty ground there will be springs of water. There will be grass, reeds, and rushes where the haunts of jackals once lay" (Isaiah 35:1-2, 5-7).Christ's ministry as the Messiah is prophesied in these verses. What a dramatic reversal this will be! The wilderness will be watered. The wasteland will blossom. The desert will be a lush green place. The blind, deaf, lame, and mute within the desert will also be changed. The blind will see. The deaf will hear. The mute will speak. The lame will leap. I believe even the color blind will see colors. Like Jesus told John's disciples, these are the signs that point to him as the Messiah (Matthew 11:2-6).But this isn't just a physical transformation that will take place. Jesus doesn't promise your surgically repaired knees, old bones, sore muscles, hearing-aided ears, and glasses-improved eyes will be returned to new right now. Isaiah is prophesying an even more miraculous transformation that will take place within the heart of every traveler on his holy desert highway.With your eyes, you look upon your Savior on the altar. With your ears you hear the voice of Jesus calling you in Scripture, sermons, and Bible studies. With your tongue you pray, praise, and give thanks. With your arms and legs, you fulfill your vocations as Christian parents and children, citizens and students.Isaiah encourages, "Strengthen the weak hands, and make the shaky knees steady. Tell those who have a fearful heart: Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look! Your God will come with vengeance. With God's own retribution, he will come and save you" (Isaiah 35:3-4).The author of Hebrews quotes these verses, "Therefore strengthen your weak hands and feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated but rather healed" (Heb 12:12-13). The author's readers were being tempted to give up their faith because of persecution. He quotes Isaiah because there's an important message for those who are afraid of the Church's enemies.That important message is that our Messiah has come to rescue us. Jesus is no weak God or soft Man. He is the divine God-Man who flipped over tables and created enemies wherever he went. This is the Christ who comes with vengeance and divine retribution. Because we are followers of Christ, his enemies are our enemies. God wants us to stand strong in front of these enemies because these enemies won't be able to stand in front of him. God may use us as the arm of his vengeance. Get lean and in shape to be God's retribution. Strengthen your hands and knees so you are prepared to be God's vengeance when he calls you into battle. When we are strong in our hands and knees, we say with our Messiah, "They surrounded me, yes they surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I cut them off" (Psalm 118:11).God's vengeance is the just punishment for sin. When God brings his judgment upon his enemies, that will also mean salvation for God's people. St. Paul writes, "Certainly, it is right for God to repay trouble to those who trouble you, and to give relief to you, who are troubled along with us. When the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his powerful angels, he will exercise vengeance in flaming fire on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. Such people will receive a just penalty: eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from his glorious strength, on that day when he comes to be glorified among his saints, and to be marveled at among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed" (2 Thessalonians 1:6-10).All this will happen in the desert. The landscape parched with idolatry and paganism will become well-watered and green with the worldwide preaching of Christ's gospel. All this happens with the imminent arrival of the Messiah.Fellow desert inhabitants, our situation in life may not change. After all, we are still living in the desert. Thank God that – at least for now – our desert weather is better than everyone else's weather. Our physical desert of Casper and Wyoming is beautiful. By the grace of God, with the arrival of Christ our Messiah, he makes our spiritual desert beautiful, too. It's a desert that will be glad. Amen.The Lord reigns forever. Your God, O Zion, rules for all generations. Praise the Lord (Psalm 146:10). Amen.View this sermon (with video and/or audio recording) on our website: https://www.casperwels.com/sermons/the-desert-will-be-glad/

Her brother and daughter pick her up from the bus, and when they get home, there's a surprise party waiting for her!Apparently, it's the 50th Christmas Cup! We don't know what that means yet. It turns out there's a friendly rivalry between two neighboring towns, Bridgeport and Longleaf. To make things more complicated, the towns now share a school board, police, and fire department. When the mayor of Longleaf shows up with a hot firefighter, she has alternative motives: she wants to shut down the troops' welcome-back party. The firefighter, Quinn, is clearly smitten with Kelly, but it seems like it could never work.Kelly reluctantly agrees to lead her town in the Christmas Cup this year — and ropes Quinn into helping. The Christmas Cup is a friendly competition between the towns, consisting of challenges like a snowball fight, eggnog chug, and more.Kelly soon learns she has to leave town again soon, which makes her sad. Luckily, Quinn is there to lift her spirits. He invites her on a romantic date wrapping presents for kids, and the night goes beautifully.But then she gets a call — the Marines need her to leave on Christmas Day. She tells her friend the news: she won't be there for the Christmas Cup. But what about Quinn? Kelly insists, he's a stranger, who cares! Unfortunately for her, Quinn is right around the corner and overhears everything — and he's not happy.Kelly starts to rethink leaving and goes to talk to Quinn, but he's upset: he heard what you said. She realizes she doesn't want to leave, so she announces to her family, after blowing out the going-away cake candle, that she's not leaving! The military can wait.Christmas Cup time arrives, and Kelly is initially sad to see Quinn has joined the other team. Longleaf falls behind early after losing the singing and eggnog chug challenges. But then they make a comeback, winning the light untangle and trivia challenges. Bridgeport takes the spice contest, so it all comes down to the snowball fight, worth 20 points.Longleaf is about to win, but a little girl decides to be kind and not throw a snowball at her bully. The teams agree it should be a tie, but the bully concedes: Longleaf won fair and square.Kelly and Quinn make up — and share a big, romantic kiss.

Don Niesen has lived in Central Wisconsin for about 25 years now. He describes Central Wisconsin as being a totally different world from where he grew up in Racine, Wisconsin. After moving to Central Wisconsin, he's had multiple encounters with various types of wildlife, but none of those encounters moved the needle for Don nearly as much as an encounter he had while he was driving to his parent's house, one evening. As he was driving down a rural section of highway, heading to their house, he was on the lookout for deer. Deer-related car crashes are a big problem in that area. All of a sudden, up ahead, he could see a large, black figure, on the side of the road, pulling at something in the ditch. At first, Don thought it was a bear. Then, it did something no bear could do and at that moment, Don's jaw dropped. We hope you'll tune in to tonight's show and listen to Don share all the details from that experience.If you've had at least one Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

He saves a Christmas musical and discovers love, family, and friendship as the greatest holiday gifts. He reunites with his family and friends.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR THE SNOW MUST GO ONNovember 28, 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF THE SNOW MUST GO ONCorey Cott as Isaiah HeywardHeather Hemmens as Lilly-AnneBRAN'S THE SNOW MUST GO ON SYNOPSISThe movie starts with a Rudolph musical. It's safe to say this is off-Broadway. Actor Isaiah Heyward wrote, directed, and stars in the one-man show that no one cared about. He put his heart and soul into it, working on it for over a year.His sister, Jess, and her daughter, Aurora, show up to cheer him on and invite him home for Christmas. He says he has a big Broadway audition tomorrow, so he can't come.Isaiah shows up for the audition and sees a poster for a musical he was in long ago. Now, he can't even get in the room to audition before the casting director leaves for the day. To make matters worse, he gets fired from his caroling gig for showing up late.With nothing else going on, he heads home to Hancock.His sister picks him up and immediately guilt-trips Isaiah for not being around for Aurora, who is struggling to adjust to her parents' divorce. To make it up to her, he offers to pick her up from school — and naturally ends up taking over as director of the Christmas musical when the old director quits.The school guidance counselor, Lilly-Anne, gets roped into being the staff supervisor.But it turns out Isaiah doesn't just have to direct — he has to finish writing the show, which happens to be about reindeer.It doesn't take long for Lilly-Anne to open up to him about her past. Isaiah discovers that one of the kids in the theater program is the daughter of the woman cast in the musical he wanted to audition for. He hatches a plan: he's going to cast himself as the lead to impress her.Aurora hears about his plan and volunteers to help make his vision come to life.Lilly-Anne helps Isaiah learn how to work with kids, including helping one student, Steven, conquer his fear of singing in public and audition for the musical. There's a lot of confusion over why Isaiah cast himself as the lead, but Aurora convinces everyone they're lucky to learn from a Broadway legend.He starts spending more time with Lilly-Anne outside of rehearsals — holding hands while looking at Christmas lights, watching a movie together, and shopping for a bad Charlie Brown-style Christmas tree.After showing off his stage lighting setup, Isaiah and Lilly-Anne share a kiss — but he's conflicted because he hasn't told her the truth about why he's the lead.To help the kids feel comfortable performing in front of an audience, they go Christmas caroling.The more Isaiah cares about the kids, the wiser he feels — but it's time for the final dress rehearsal. He finds out a producer will be in the audience, so he goes out there and crushes it. The producer finds him backstage and invites him to the city on Christmas Eve to audition. Isaiah is thrilled — it's what he's been waiting for. Unfortunately, Lilly-Anne overhears, is upset, and demands he tell the kids the truth, or she will. It does not go well.He goes to the audition but can't focus, constantly thinking about letting the kids down. He tells the producer he has to return to Hancock to see the lead — the kids' performance — and pleads with her to come with him.She shows up just in time to give a pep talk, and Isaiah arrives behind her to apologize to everyone.The show is a smash hit. He tells Lilly-Anne this is his favorite standing ovation. He confesses that he has a new dream — one with her — and decides he doesn't want to go back to Broadway. The snow machine starts, they kiss, and he quips, “The snow must go on.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

La seizième édition du Festival Les Traversées Mauritanides à Nouakchott, capitale de la Mauritanie et lieu de rendez-vous d'une vingtaine d'écrivains vient de s'ouvrir.  Quatre émissions consacrées aux littératures et aux langues de Mauritanie à l'occasion de ces rencontres littéraires. Et une question essentielle pour commencer : quel est le panorama des littératures mauritaniennes aujourd'hui, un pays où cohabitent deux langues : le français et l'arabe ? On est dans un pays où les littératures se côtoient mais se rencontrent rarement, explique Mariem Derwich.  Née avec l'indépendance du pays, dans les années 60, la littérature mauritanienne francophone occupe une place importante dans le patrimoine culturel mauritanien. Le roman est le genre dominant de la littérature même si la littérature mauritanienne est née avec la poésie ! Et bien que le français ait perdu son statut de langue officielle, la littérature mauritanienne francophone reste très importante. L'un des romanciers mauritaniens de langue française les plus connus est Beyrouk. Né en 1957 à Atar, il dit avoir rencontré la langue française «par hasard» et être tombé amoureux de cette langue en lisant «Les Misérables» de Victor Hugo. Il écrit en langue française «un véritable choix pour lui et un engagement». Son dernier roman Saara, publié aux éditions Elyzad en 2022 raconte l'histoire d'une héroïne qui se définit comme une «femme libre» qui refuse la pression sociale et religieuse. Son prochain roman s'intitulera «Le vieux fou et la petite fille qui n'était pas belle.» "J'essaye d'écrire les autres, de nous écrire et même de m'écrire".  Beyrouck  Marieme Derwich est chroniqueuse et poétesse et elle aussi écrit en français, sa langue maternelle. Une langue qui lui «a ouvert le monde», selon ses termes et dans laquelle elle «rêve». Elle a écrit pendant très longtemps dans l'hebdomadaire mauritanien Le Calame pour raconter le quotidien de la Mauritanie. En 2014, elle a publié le recueil de poèmes Mille et un Je. Elle estime que la littérature doit être dynamique. «Il faut qu'on raconte comment chaque Mauritanien est arrivé avec ses coutumes, ses ancêtres, ses langues. La littérature est vivante, on ne peut pas passer notre vie à pleurer quelque chose qui n'a pas existé !» Elle publiera les Nouvelles de Mauritanie, au printemps 2026, aux éditions Magellan. Quant à Ndiaye Sarr, il est enseignant en Lettres modernes francophones à l'Université de Nouakchott et spécialiste du roman mauritanien francophone. Il y enseigne essentiellement la littérature d'Afrique francophone. Il raconte que les littératures mauritaniennes ont beaucoup évolué car, selon lui, car les premiers romans pouvaient se définir comme «ethnographiques». La génération suivante a produit des romans qui interrogent les dynamiques de la société mauritanienne et ses chamboulements, et qui dénoncent les violences politiques, comme celles de 1999. «Mais chaque communauté a sa propre littérature», précise-t-il. Une littérature qui aborde souvent les problématiques liées à la Mauritanie contemporaine.  Mais il existe également une littérature féminine avec des autrices comme Belinda Mohamed ou Safi Ba : une littérature qui dénonce l'oppression des femmes et qui ouvre le débat citoyennes. Le pays au million de poètes Enfin, les Mauritaniens, toutes ethnies confondues, sont très attachés à la poésie ; que ce soit la poésie amoureuse, la poésie religieuse ou la poésie guerrière. Dans notre émission également, un reportage à la librairie Vents du Sud à Nouakchott, une librairie créée en 1994, et la seule librairie francophone de Mauritanie. Elle est fréquentée par des francophones et des étudiants. On y trouve des auteurs classiques comme Victor Hugo, Racine ou Balzac, mais aussi des auteurs contemporains comme Emmanuel Carrère ou Marie Desplechin.     Programmation musicale :  L'artiste griotte Noura Mint Saymaly avec le titre Guéreh, extrait de son nouvel album.

They're talking like they'll be on the same plane in the morning, so they'll see each other again in just four hours.The next morning, he's nowhere to be found. She really has to leave for the airport. She knows his last name but not his room number, so she leaves her number on a sticky note with the lady at the front desk.Cut to Dave — his alarm was set for PM. He rushes to the airport without stopping by the front desk. Womp womp.They both start searching online for each other, but it's just impossible.We learn how they met in the first place: a bad storm delayed both of their flights, so they went to a nearby hotel. She bumped into Dave on the way in, the doors instantly flew open, and they spent the whole night talking.They know Chicago is home for both of them.Through conversations with their loved ones in the present day, we get flashbacks of the night before.

She's explaining it to her friend, and her friend's like, “Oh, I know that house.” When they pull up, it's a new construction still being built. Dead end.He remembers her talking about this coffee shop, so he goes there. Another dead end — but he leaves his number.She posts her story on a missed-connections app and gets a hit — a guy named David asks to meet at that same coffee shop. A woman shows up saying she works for a guy named Dave. Unfortunately, wrong Dave. Hate to see it.They have another close encounter at a Christmas concert — she went to the early show, he went to the late show.He remembers that she invited him to a Christmas Eve service.

Exclusive 10% off entire order -  www.kringles.com  // Promo Code:  HALLMARK25---The amazing Dave White joins us to break down this year's animal-themed Hallmark Christmas movie: Christmas at the Catnip Café.ABOUT CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉOlivia Pierce, a marketing executive, discovers her late great aunt's cat café in New York, which she believes will be a Christmas miracle. As she helps plan fundraising events, Olivia gains a deeper appreciation for the feline inhabitants and the special place her great aunt created.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉNovember 30, 2025 | Hallmark Movies & MysteriesCAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉPaul Campbell as BenErin Cahill as OliviaBRAN'S CHRISTMAS AT THE CATNIP CAFÉ SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off with a TON of kittens. Suddenly, we flash back 30 years: a young Olivia is walking into her house when she hears something… could it be a cat? And that's it for the flashback—obviously, a necessary flashback.Cut to the present day. Olivia is checking out a place way out of her price range when she gets a text from a lawyer: they need to talk about her aunt's estate. She's been given half of a cat cafe. Olivia's wheels start turning—if she can convince the other owner, Ben, to sell the cafe, maybe she can afford that dream place!But Ben is no ordinary owner. He's an overly generous vet, giving pet care away for free and taking on way too many patients. The good news for Olivia: Ben never says no.She walks into the cafe, plays peekaboo with a cat, and dives straight into business with Ben. She wants him to sell. He's not having it—the cafe is very important to him and also acts as a place to get cats adopted.It turns out Ben lives right down the block from Olivia's aunt's house. He's searching for a binder about Catnip Christmas that's gone missing and is surprised to find Olivia there. She finds the binder, and he explains that Catnip Christmas was his aunt's pride and joy. He's not sure how he can manage it all on his own. Olivia offers to help—but only if he agrees not to delay the sale of the cafe.Ben says he doesn't want to sell. Olivia reminds him he can't stop the sale, only slow it down. She says she'll be all in on the project as long as he agrees to sell. He reluctantly agrees, thinking she won't actually want to move forward with the sale.Olivia quickly realizes she's in for a lot more than she expected: cat puppet shows, story time, and all sorts of festive events. Along the way, Olivia and Ben start getting closer. He even helps decorate her Christmas tree.Through a flashback, we learn that little Olivia once found a kitten outside her aunt's house. Could this cat cafe all stem from that moment?As they spend more time together, Ben opens up about feeling like life's big moments happen for everyone else—babies, milestones—and that he wants something for himself before it's too late. The sparks begin to fly, and while decorating the cafe for an event, Olivia and Ben share a big, sweet kiss.Complications arise when Olivia admits she still plans to sell—the life she has in California can't be ignored. She tells Ben it's hard because she really likes him. He reminds her that they made a deal, so he'll move forward with the sale.On her way out of town, Olivia stops at a mechanic and sees a kitten. The mechanic tells her he adopted it from this cat cafe. Olivia takes it as a sign and rushes back to the cafe—only to find the contract has already been signed with a developer. But the developer is holding a cat, so Olivia asks nicely… and he rips up the contract.Olivia is staying, and the movie ends with her and Ben celebrating—and kissing again.

Exclusive 10% off entire order -  www.kringles.com  // Promo Code:  HALLMARK25---It's time to start our journey through the Thanksgiving week movies!Up first, we're joined by Alonso Duralde to dive into this year's big Saturday release: A Grand Ole Opry Christmas — where country music, Christmas magic, and time-travel nostalgia meet under one roof.ABOUT A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMASGentry Wade, who gave up music after her father's death decades ago must confront her past when Nashville's Grand Ole Opry invites her to honor her late country star dad at their Christmas celebration.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMASNovember 29, 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMASNikki DeLoach as Gentry WadeKristoffer Polaha as MacBRAN'S A GRAND OLE OPRY CHRISTMAS SYNOPSISThe movie kicks off like you're watching a VHS of an old Opry performance: the Winters & Wade Farewell Show at the Grand Ole Opry Christmas Special.Cut to present day, where we meet Gentry Wade, daughter of Jett Wade. She gets a knock at the door from her pal Mac, who keeps pushing her to let him sign her and record some songs. She insists that's not happening.Mac owns a bar in Nashville, where Gentry works and is mostly happy—despite everyone constantly asking about her father. Why did he quit music? And where is his missing guitar?Family friend Rita stops by with a plea from the Opry: they want Gentry to attend the Opry's 100th anniversary to honor her dad. Gentry isn't sure.Over drinks, we learn that Mac and Gentry have been friends since high school, but Mac insists he has zero romantic interest in her. Mmmhmm. Sure, pal.Gentry, Mac, and Rita head to the Opry and tag along with a tour guide who looks suspiciously like Erin Cahill. Backstage, Gentry bumps into Von Winters, who asks why she's hesitant about attending the anniversary. She explains she always wanted to be a songwriter, but it didn't work out, and she never earned her place in the Opry Circle. Von tells her that her time may not be up—it's Christmas, after all.She goes out onto the Opry stage to think. A blinding light hits her and suddenly—she's transported back in time. There onstage are her dad and Von doing soundcheck. Before she can talk to him, she's zapped back to the present.She runs to tell Mac, who absolutely does NOT believe her.Determined, Gentry sneaks back onto the stage again. Another blinding flash—and boom—she's back in time, bumping into a younger Rita.Mac, worried about her, goes to the Opry. He sits in a pew, gets blinded by the light, and he time travels too. He finds Gentry and she explains they're in 1995, right before the final Winters & Wade performance. She tells him she needs to find out why her dad walked away from music. Young Rita spots them and assumes they're a married couple, insisting they stay at her apartment.The next day, Gentry goes to the Opry pretending to be a label rep so she can talk to her dad. Jett tells her he and Von are getting along great and have songs ready for their next album. This makes Gentry wonder if they're in some alternate timeline where the breakup never happens. Mac urges her to stop overthinking—maybe they were brought back for a reason.Later, Gentry overhears Von talking with their manager, who wants the duo to change their style. Jett is absolutely not on board.At a Christmas party, she overhears them discussing bringing in new writers. Jett is furious. When he sees her, he assumes she's part of the label agenda and storms off.Gentry goes outside to the fire pit with Mac and opens up about memories of her father, including a song they started but never finished. Mac asks her to sing it. She does—and Jett secretly listens from behind them.The next day, Jett approaches her to apologize and tells her the song is really good. He asks why she never finished it. She says he passed away before they had the chance. He invites her to come to the Opry the next day so they can work on it together.She agrees, and they spend the day bonding while Mac records a video of them singing. Their session is cut short when Von and the manager show up—they've moved the recording session up to December 26 to prep for a world tour. But that means Jett will miss Christmas with his family, and the long tour makes him uneasy.The next day, Jett is missing. Gentry knows exactly where to find him—his “thinking spot.” She and Mac go there, and she basically convinces him to walk away from the duo and choose family.Afterward, Mac and Gentry finally kiss.The next day, Von calls Gentry in and reveals he knows she's not a label executive—but he thinks she's a great songwriter and wants to work with her.Before the big performance, Jett tells Von he's out. This will be their final show.Right before the set, Mac realizes Jett doesn't have his pick. He runs it over, trips, falls onto a pew—BOOM—transported back to the present.After the show, Jett finds Gentry, gives her his guitar, and she hugs him. Suddenly—bright light—and she's transported back to the present with that very guitar in her hands.Von is about to give a speech and calls her up onstage. He tells her that her dad was proud of her and that they actually wrote a song together. Von knows. He invites Gentry into the Opry Circle. She speaks about her father, and Von reveals he invited Brad Paisley to perform the song she wrote with Jett. As the song plays, we see 1995 Jett return to the Christmas cabin and hug his family.In the present, Von says he's ready for that songwriting meeting. Gentry gives him her dad's guitar, then goes to talk to Mac—and they kiss again. Mac shows her the video he recorded of her singing with her father and tells her he can't remember a time he didn't love her. They kiss even more, right there in front of the Opry.

It's always preferable to have our usual dynamic duo piloting the podcast. But when that's not the case, it usually means we're making room for some special guests. For this episode, we've got two who know their way around movie making and are using that knowledge to make a positive impact on all of Wisconsin.Writer/director Nathan Deming, who hails from the northern reaches of the state, is smack dab in the middle of an ambition project to create 12 films set in Wisconsin, with each taking place in a different month (January and February are already a wrap). Jeffrey Kurz is a Racine native and former studio exec at Miramax Films. Both are involved with Action! Wisconsin, a statewide group pushing to make Wisconsin friendlier for film and television production.It's not just movie types involved, either. In addition to the many people involved in film production — from directors to technicians — the coalition includes city governments, hotels, restaurants, small-business owners and educators. Their goal: to create jobs, lift local economies and promote tourism across the state.They scored a big win earlier this year, when Wisconsin legislators passed and Governor Tony Evers signed into law the creation of production incentives and a state film office. You'll hear from Deming and Kurz about how that victory happened, how filming in Wisconsin can be a win for everyone and a few personal stories from their own movie-watching histories (including the ones that made them cry).#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Co.

Synopsis:  Uncover the truth behind over 1,000 police killings per year: Watch CYCLE to learn about one family's fight for justice after their son's tragic death at hands of law enforcementThis show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Would we know from our media that over 1,000 people are killed by police every year in the U.S.? The stories of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are exceptions, but for the victims we don't hear about, there's CYCLE. The newly-released investigative feature documentary from LionArt Media focuses on the 2019 killing of Ty'rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Racine, Wisconsin who was shot to death after being pulled over by a Mount Pleasant police officer for riding a bicycle with no headlights. No videos were taken, the details of West's death were withheld from the community and the subsequent police report. Made in close collaboration with West's mother, Monique West, the film follows the story of Ty'rese's death and the lawsuit that ensued.  CYCLE is an invitation, “. . . to interrupt the silence that follows so many cases that never go viral — cases where there's no footage, no public pressure, and no accountability,” say director Laura Dyan Kezman and co-director William Howell, both Racine natives. Dyan Kezman is an award-winning director, DP, and editor, and the founder of LionArt Media committed to telling bold, socially driven stories that examine justice, culture, and civic engagement. Howell is a cinematographer, editor, and director based in Milwaukee. He was the cinematographer of ‘The Rise and Fall of Coo Coo Cal' and the director of the 2020 film ‘You Don't Know Me'. Join the CYCLE directors and Laura Flanders for this powerful conversation on police accountability and community action, plus a commentary on the media quiet about Trump's massive military build-up in the Caribbean.“. . . We started this film in 2019 with the intention of not making an angry film, but we didn't quite know what the film needed to be yet.

Synopsis:  The directors of CYCLE invite viewers to confront the eerie stillness that follows many cases of police brutality, where no footage, public pressure, or accountability exist, and instead, inspire collective change.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Would we know from our media that over 1,000 people are killed by police every year in the U.S.? The stories of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are exceptions, but for the victims we don't hear about, there's CYCLE. The newly-released investigative feature documentary from LionArt Media focuses on the 2019 killing of Ty'rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Racine, Wisconsin who was shot to death after being pulled over by a Mount Pleasant police officer for riding a bicycle with no headlights. No videos were taken, the details of West's death were withheld from the community and the subsequent police report. Made in close collaboration with West's mother, Monique West, the film follows the story of Ty'rese's death and the lawsuit that ensued.  CYCLE is an invitation, “. . . to interrupt the silence that follows so many cases that never go viral — cases where there's no footage, no public pressure, and no accountability,” say director Laura Dyan Kezman and co-director William Howell, both Racine natives. Dyan Kezman is an award-winning director, DP, and editor, and the founder of LionArt Media committed to telling bold, socially driven stories that examine justice, culture, and civic engagement. Howell is a cinematographer, editor, and director based in Milwaukee. He was the cinematographer of ‘The Rise and Fall of Coo Coo Cal' and the director of the 2020 film ‘You Don't Know Me'. Join the CYCLE directors and Laura Flanders for this powerful conversation on police accountability and community action, plus a commentary on the media quiet about Trump's massive military build-up in the Caribbean.“. . . We started this film in 2019 with the intention of not making an angry film, but we didn't quite know what the film needed to be yet. Then COVID hit, Ahmaud Arbery was killed, and then Breonna Taylor was killed, and then George Floyd was killed . . . We felt it then, that this was something so much bigger than us in terms of us telling Tyrese's story in that moment.” - Laura Dyan Kezman“The call to action, that's when I see, more than anything, that we achieved our goal.

The 98th National FFA Convention officially begins today in Indianapolis, Indiana. Jill Welke is there with Wisconsin's State FFA President, Amalia Draxler. Draxler previews some of the planned events and duties the state's officers will be undertaking to help the convention move along. Sunshine should dominate Wisconsin's weather today. Stu Muck says the temperatures stay consistent but the winds pick up. Wyffels Hybrids brings us a field update with Stephanie Hoff. Luke Bird is the Wyffels district manager out of Rock, Walworth, Racine, and Kenosha counties. He says that as the government continues to be shut down and we don’t get a crop progress and condition report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Wyffels Harvest Progress Report is a great resource for not just harvest updates, but yield estimates. While visiting the harvest report, don't forget to plug and play with new Wyffels Hybrid selections on the Yield Calculator, also available on the Agronomy tab. Mary Schreiber from East Troy is wrapping up her year of service as the Central Region Vice President on the National FFA Officer team. She explains that she's covered about 90,000 miles in service so far. One visit that sticks with Schreiber is a chapter visit in West Virginia. She met an enthusiastic member who "bled blue and gold". What Mary later found out was that the member was living with her grandparents after one parent died of substance abuse, and the other was still battling the disease. Mary said the FFA advisors became surrogate parents to this member. She admits that the story startled her and reminded her that the FFA is more than just agriculture and leadership - it's family. Data centers are popping up in more conversations across the state. Some are small in scale - others are "hyper" in size. Ben Jarboe travelled to Janesville this week where organizers were asking for answers and transparency on a proposed data center for a former GM plant location. Cassandra Pope, organizer of No Janesville Data Centers, shares her perspective on the process and the project.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Varied progress so far on the corn for grain harvest in Wisconsin, according to the 2025 Harvest Progress Report from Wyffels Hybrids at https://www.wyffels.com/agronomy/harvest-progress-report. Today, we’re catching up with Luke Bird, district manager out of Rock, Walworth, Racine, and Kenosha counties.

The weekend is here and the 60° temps are making a comeback! Looks like it'll be a great couple of days to get outdoors and finish some projects before the really cold stuff makes it's way into the area. Speaking of weather, Tropical Storm Melissa was in the news this morning as it continues to strengthen. Also in the news, the wild announcement from the FBI yesterday about the NBA gambling scandal, an update on 3i/Atlas as it continues to make it's way towards Earth, and a Safe Haven Baby Box in Racine became the first in the state to get used. In sports, the Vikings got thrashed by the Chargers last night to kick off Week 8 in the NFL, a look at the rest of this weekend's schedule. The Bucks play in Toronto tonight against the Raptors and the game had to move tip-off up an hour because of the World Series getting underway. Badgers play tomorrow against #6 Oregon, and Aaron Rodgers is talking about retirement. Elsewhere in sports, Lionel Messi signs a contract extension, the Ravens are off to a really bad start and have removed all the fun stuff from their locker rooms, while the Angels are looking for an HVAC technician to fix their broken air conditioning! We talked about what's on TV this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, some new music releases to check out. Sticking with movies, another day…another list of Halloween films. This time around it's the top slasher movies of all time. Halloween is just a week from now and apparently, Trick-Or-Treating is losing ground to Trunk-Or-Treating. Unless you want to grab some candy from the son in the Poltergeist movies AT the Poltergeist house! Cool story about a woman who hiked the Appalachian trail at the age of 80 after having her knee replaced. And check out this couple who met at a car crash several years ago and just recently got married! Doc joined us to talk racing thanks to County Materials in Holmen as the NASCAR season gets closer to it's final race. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who thought it would be funny to take pictures of a toddler surrounded by guns & drugs, a food delivery driver who got stabbed by some passengers, a guy wearing nothing but a hat & a speedo tried to break into a police building, a #FloridaMom who was driving drunk with her kids in the car, and apparently...sexy Russian & Chinese spies are banging tech nerds in an attempt to steal US tech secrets.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a court battle that made headlines. In the early 1980's an Indigenous mother fought to get her child back from the foster family that had looked after her from the time she was an infant. Her birth mother went all the way to Ottawa, to the Supreme Court of Canada, and in a landmark decision, the judge ruled that it was in the best interest of the child to stay with the foster family. It was a decision that would change the life of the little girl at the centre of the battle, Leticia Racine, and impact child welfare cases involving Indigenous children for years to come. We speak with Racine today, about her tumultuous life, and her journey back to her First Nation and her Indigenous culture.

Relayé par l'archevêché de Malines, un courrier, envoyé aux autorités belges, par les représentants des Etats pontificaux, signale le vol d'un tableau dans une église de Bologne. Ce courrier est accompagné d'un cliché. Prenant la chose au sérieux, les Belges diffusent le cliché dans différentes villes du pays. Cet envoi est le premier usage mentionné dans nos régions du photogramme en matière de sûreté publique. Depuis son apparition l'appareil photographique a saisi des milliers de scènes de crimes et d'accidents, donnant ainsi à comprendre comment la société réagit au malheur. En quoi la photographie a-t-elle révolutionné le travail de la police, de la magistrature, de la médecine légale et l'intérêt du public pour le sang versé ? Invités: Laurence Druez, cheffe de travaux aux Archives de l'Etat, à Liège et Xavier rousseaux, directeur de recherche au FRS-FNRS, professeur à l'UCL. « Scène de crimes – La photographie policière, témoin de l'enquête judiciaire » ; Racine.

Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany is entering the race to become Wisconsin's next governor. The mayor of the western Wisconsin city of Menomonie is putting the brakes on a data center plan in the community. And, a Racine-based manufacturer is expanding in the state.

A Clean Wisconsin analysis shows just two approved data centers in Wisconsin will use more power than all the homes in our state combined. More than the generation capacity of the Point Beach nuclear plant, the single-largest source of power in Wisconsin. And that leaves a lot of people are wondering, where is all this leading us? What will it mean for Wisconsin's precious water resources, our land, our energy bills? And why is it so hard to find out? In this episode, an in-depth conversation on the secrets of data centers.

He canceled a public hearing in Madison as a result. The city of Racine released information on water usage for a proposed data center after an environmental group sued. And, Wisconsin high schools are using a new technology to crack down on student vaping.
