California is the most expensive state in the country to buy a house for a host of reasons, including a lack of inventory and high costs of building. One oft-blamed culprit is the California Environmental Quality Act. Developers say CEQA, enacted in 1970, made housing more expensive by piling on environmental regulations and making it too easy for individuals to file lawsuits against projects in their communities. This summer, the state legislature amended the law with the goal of making it faster and less expensive to build housing in California. We'll talk about how much of a difference CEQA reform could make in addressing the Bay Area's housing shortage and where – and when – we might see new developments.

And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the Lord. 3 And the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people joined in the covenant.4 And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest and the priests of the second order and the keepers of the threshold to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels made for Baal, for Asherah, and for all the host of heaven. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel. 5 And he deposed the priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to make offerings in the high places at the cities of Judah and around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and the moon and the constellations and all the host of the heavens. 6 And he brought out the Asherah from the house of the Lord, outside Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron and beat it to dust and cast the dust of it upon the graves of the common people. 7 And he broke down the houses of the male cult prostitutes who were in the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah. 8 And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had made offerings, from Geba to Beersheba. And he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on one's left at the gate of the city. 9 However, the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers. 10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, that no one might burn his son or his daughter as an offering to Molech.[a] 11 And he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance to the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the chamberlain, which was in the precincts.[b] And he burned the chariots of the sun with fire. 12 And the altars on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, he pulled down and broke in pieces[c] and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron. 13 And the king defiled the high places that were east of Jerusalem, to the south of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 14 And he broke in pieces the pillars and cut down the Asherim and filled their places with the bones of men.#mbchicago #2kings #BibleStudy #DanielBatarseh #mbchicago #mbcchicago #Bible #livechurch #churchlive #chicagochurch #chicagochurches #versebyverse #church #chicago #sermon #bibleexplained #bibleproject #bibleverse #bookbybook #oldtestament #explained

Why ‘Mandatory Reporting' Failed to Stop Devil's Den Killer-Teacher Welcome to the teaser episode of Classroom Coverup, a 10-part true crime podcast series that exposes the disturbing practice known as "passing the trash," where schools allow teachers accused of predatory behavior—such as grooming, inappropriate touching, or sexual comments toward students—to resign quietly without reporting to authorities or documenting issues in their records. Often, these educators receive neutral or even positive references, enabling them to move to new districts or states and continue endangering children. Drawing on court documents, survivor accounts, news reports, and verified statistics, this episode introduces the series by highlighting the most shocking cases and the systemic failures that allow them to persist. We cover cases like Andrew McGann, whose alleged favoritism toward young girls went unreported as he moved across states, culminating in a 2025 double murder; Gary Gregor's decades-long abuse spree across Utah, Montana, and New Mexico, ending in a 2022 conviction for child rape; and Jon White's horrific acts in Illinois, feeding semen-laced snacks to second-graders after a misleading reference. From impregnating a teen in California's elite schools to recent 2024-2025 cases involving cheer coaches and Scientology-linked cover-ups, the allegations are staggering: molestation, rape, and even murder tied to unchecked escalation. Why does this happen? Schools prioritize avoiding lawsuits, union pressures protect teachers, and administrators choose silence to preserve reputations. The impact is devastating: 10% of K-12 students face misconduct (Shakeshaft 2004), with Texas logging 4,300 unreported educator exits since 2017 against 2,500 charges. Victims suffer lifelong PTSD, while districts like LAUSD pay out $1.4 billion in settlements. Reforms like Texas' SB 571 and New Jersey's hush bans offer hope, but gaps remain. This teaser breaks down what happened, why it matters, and how to fight back with advocacy and awareness. On X, #EndPassingTheTrash is gaining traction.

Why ‘Mandatory Reporting' Failed to Stop Devil's Den Killer-Teacher Welcome to the teaser episode of Classroom Coverup, a 10-part true crime podcast series that exposes the disturbing practice known as "passing the trash," where schools allow teachers accused of predatory behavior—such as grooming, inappropriate touching, or sexual comments toward students—to resign quietly without reporting to authorities or documenting issues in their records. Often, these educators receive neutral or even positive references, enabling them to move to new districts or states and continue endangering children. Drawing on court documents, survivor accounts, news reports, and verified statistics, this episode introduces the series by highlighting the most shocking cases and the systemic failures that allow them to persist. We cover cases like Andrew McGann, whose alleged favoritism toward young girls went unreported as he moved across states, culminating in a 2025 double murder; Gary Gregor's decades-long abuse spree across Utah, Montana, and New Mexico, ending in a 2022 conviction for child rape; and Jon White's horrific acts in Illinois, feeding semen-laced snacks to second-graders after a misleading reference. From impregnating a teen in California's elite schools to recent 2024-2025 cases involving cheer coaches and Scientology-linked cover-ups, the allegations are staggering: molestation, rape, and even murder tied to unchecked escalation. Why does this happen? Schools prioritize avoiding lawsuits, union pressures protect teachers, and administrators choose silence to preserve reputations. The impact is devastating: 10% of K-12 students face misconduct (Shakeshaft 2004), with Texas logging 4,300 unreported educator exits since 2017 against 2,500 charges. Victims suffer lifelong PTSD, while districts like LAUSD pay out $1.4 billion in settlements. Reforms like Texas' SB 571 and New Jersey's hush bans offer hope, but gaps remain. This teaser breaks down what happened, why it matters, and how to fight back with advocacy and awareness. On X, #EndPassingTheTrash is gaining traction.

What's going on in South Carolina? A lot more than people realize—and not all of it's good.In this week's Let People Prosper Show, I sit down with Sam Aaron, Research Director at the South Carolina Policy Council and one of the most promising young voices in state-level policy today. Sam and I have worked together for years on the Responsible South Carolina Budget. In this episode, we dig into the real issues driving South Carolina's future: from runaway spending to the need for bold tax reform, smarter judicial selection, and a stronger education marketplace.Sam is clear-eyed and sharp-tongued. He's not afraid to say it: "Government kind of sucks at everything." But that's not defeatism—it's a call to action. People in government need limits, people in markets need breathing room, and taxpayers need better advocates. This episode is all about what it'll take to keep South Carolina competitive, accountable, and free.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.

Elena clarifies the nature of the protests, expressing that they are in favor of Ukraine's EU integration and not against the government. The discussion also delves into the horizontal strength of Ukrainian society, the impact of Western misconceptions, and the broader implications of these reforms on Ukraine's resilience during wartime.
