DEI killed meritocracy—and white men in America have paid the price. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down a recent, controversial article from Compact Magazine, which examines how white males have been increasingly excluded from fields like entertainment, journalism, and academia over the past several decades. Hanson explores the effects of early affirmative action, post-George Floyd hiring practices, and who bears responsibility for these changes on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “I do blame the older white hierarchy, mostly liberal professors, liberal journalists, liberal directors, liberal actors, liberal screenwriters. They all had nice cushy jobs. They earned them. Then they decided in their utopian generosity that they were going to admit people into their guilds without the same criterion that they had had because it made them feel better. “In other words, they didn't accept Tom Sowell's or Shelby Steele's advice or Jason Riley's that says, when you do that, you're going to encourage mediocrity and opportunist, and you're going to deprecate the work of African Americans or Hispanics that are very talented. But that's what you're going to do just to gratify your own sense of ego and shame. And that's exactly what happened.” (0:00) Introduction (0:21) Compact Article (0:57) Affirmative Action and Its Impact (2:50) Meritocracy Loss (4:12) Blame and Responsibility (5:54) Consequences of Lower Standards (7:07) Conclusion We need your help to ensure The Daily Signal can continue to counter the liberal media's lies with the truth.

Nick Reiner was diagnosed with schizophrenia years ago. He was in treatment. Expensive treatment. According to multiple reports, his medication was changed just weeks before his parents were stabbed to death. His defense attorney, Alan Jackson — fresh off a major acquittal in another high-profile case — is already calling this case “very complex.” Translation: the insanity defense is coming. But insanity is not a diagnosis — it's a legal standard. In California, the question is narrow and brutal: did the defendant understand what he was doing, and did he know it was wrong? In this episode, we walk through what an insanity defense actually requires, and why it's far harder to prove than many people assume. We examine how being actively in treatment can cut both ways, how medication changes factor into legal responsibility, and why post-crime behavior — hotel stays, travel, attempts to clean up evidence, calm public behavior — creates serious hurdles for the defense. We also discuss Nick's court appearance in a suicide prevention smock, the delayed arraignments, and a sealed medical order signed by the judge. What's happening behind closed doors? Competency evaluations? Psychiatric holds? Strategic positioning? Finally, we explore the most painful layer of all: when the victims and the defendant are part of the same family. How does accountability work when mental illness is real — but so is violence? This isn't about sympathy versus punishment. It's about where the law draws the line. #NickReiner #InsanityDefense #Schizophrenia #TrueCrimeAnalysis #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #MentalHealthAndCrime #LegalBreakdown #TrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In "The Road Ahead: What Trimble Innovations Mean for Transportation", Joe Lynch and Jonah McIntire, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Trimble, discuss Trimble's open, scalable platform that connects every aspect of the supply chain—from trucks and drivers to the back office—by serving as a reliable "system of record" that integrates practical AI innovation to help fleets maximize performance, visibility, and safety. About Jonah McIntire Jonah McIntire is Chief Product and Technology Officer at Trimble. He joined Transporeon in June 2021 and quickly led a succession of larger product organisations in the sourcing & data insights areas of the company. Known for his broad international experience, having lived and worked in 13 countries, Jonah's prior experience includes running global logistics for Build-a-Bear Workshop, launching business units for Manhattan Associates and Panalpina, and writing a university textbook on supply chain visibility. He also founded two companies and led them to successful acquisitions: Clear Abacus, an early cloud computing transport optimisation solution acquired by GT Nexus; and TNX Logistics, a spot procurement data science SaaS acquired by Transporeon. He is also a regular guest author in industry journals, hosts the popular Logistics Tribe podcast, and maintains a widely read industry newsletter on logistics technology. About Trimble Transportation Trimble Transportation provides fleets with solutions to create a fully integrated supply chain. With an intelligent ecosystem of products and services, Trimble Transportation enables customers to embrace the rapid technological evolution of the industry and connect all aspects of transportation and logistics — trucks, drivers, back office, freight and assets. Trimble Transportation delivers an open, scalable platform to help customers make more informed decisions and maximize performance, visibility and safety. Key Takeaways: The Road Ahead: What Trimble Innovations Mean for Transportation In "The Road Ahead: What Trimble Innovations Mean for Transportation", Joe Lynch and Jonah McIntire, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Trimble, discuss Trimble's open, scalable platform that connects every aspect of the supply chain—from trucks and drivers to the back office—by serving as a reliable "system of record" that integrates practical AI innovation to help fleets maximize performance, visibility, and safety. The Responsibility of the Incumbent: Unlike startups that lead with "bombastic" promises, Trimble prioritizes its role as the foundational "system of record" for the world's largest supply chains, where stability and reliability are non-negotiable. A "Safety-First" AI Philosophy: Because Trimble's software manages critical infrastructure and multi-billion dollar logistics networks, their innovation roadmap is built on a "safety-first" framework to ensure no disruption to global commerce. The Three-Phase AI Maturity Model: Trimble is following a logical, tiered progression into the AI age: starting with internal adoption, moving to AI-enhanced features, and ultimately launching AI-native applications. "Eating Their Own Cooking": Before shipping AI solutions to customers, Trimble utilizes AI internally to refine the technology, ensuring they can provide honest, experience-based guidance to their partners. Enhancing the Proven vs. Chasing the New: A core pillar of their current strategy is adding AI-powered features to existing, trusted solutions (like TMW.Suite or TMT) to provide immediate value without requiring a total system overhaul. The Shift to AI-Native Applications: The next frontier for Trimble is the development of applications built from the ground up on AI architectures, designed to solve complex logistics problems that traditional logic-based software cannot. Prioritizing Practicality Over Hype: Trimble's focus remains squarely on the "practical uses" of AI—solving real-world friction in dispatch, maintenance, and routing—rather than following fleeting technology trends. Innovation as Change Management: Trimble recognizes that the hardest part of the AI transition isn't the code; it's the human element. Their strategy includes a heavy focus on onboarding, training, and building the "Customer Trust" necessary for long-term adoption.

Episode Summary    In this inspiring episode of WarDocs, we are honored to feature the extraordinary journey of Retired Army Brigadier General Clara Adams-Ender. Rising from humble beginnings as one of ten children born to sharecroppers with limited formal education, she defied expectations to become a trailblazer in military medicine. Her story is a testament to the power of education, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Although she initially dreamed of becoming a lawyer, she honored her father's wishes to attend nursing school, a decision that launched a remarkable 34-year career culminating in her service as the 18th Chief of the Army Nurse Corps.    BG(R) Adams-Ender shares powerful anecdotes that defined her leadership philosophy, starting with her first assignment as a Second Lieutenant in an ICU. She recounts a tragic incident involving a Marine shot by a friend during horseplay, a moment that taught her the stark difference between "book learning" and the practical responsibilities of an officer to care for the discipline and safety of troops. She also details the grit required to become the first woman to earn the Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB). Refusing to settle for the lower physical standards set for women at the time, she marched the full 12 miles alongside her male counterparts, proving that competence knows no gender.   Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes the evolution of the Army Nurse Corps from a workforce viewed merely as labor to leaders in healthcare policy and administration. She discusses her time as an educator during the Vietnam War, mentoring students facing the draft and ethical dilemmas. General Adams-Ender passionately argues for the necessity of nurses having a "seat at the table" in healthcare leadership, noting that without a voice in policy, the profession cannot control its destiny. As the Army Nurse Corps approaches its 125th anniversary, she reflects on the core values of clinical excellence, administration, research, and education (CARE), offering timeless advice for the next generation of military medical professionals.   Chapters (00:00-06:40) From Sharecropper's Daughter to Nursing School (06:40-11:45) A Tragic Lesson in Leadership and Troop Welfare (11:45-17:15) Breaking Barriers to Earn the Expert Field Medical Badge (17:15-22:42) Educating Nurses During the Vietnam War Era (22:42-37:55) The Power of Policy and Having a Seat at the Table (37:55-45:34) Core Values and the Legacy of the Army Nurse Corps   Chapter Summaries (00:00-06:40) From Sharecropper's Daughter to Nursing School The guest discusses her family background, emphasizing her parents' deep value for education despite their limited schooling. She shares how she initially aspired to be a lawyer but followed her father's directive to attend nursing school, eventually discovering a passion for the challenge the profession provided. (06:40-11:45) A Tragic Lesson in Leadership and Troop Welfare Reflecting on her first assignment at Fort Dix, the guest describes the transition from academic theory to the practical realities of military nursing. She recounts a harrowing story of a young Marine shot due to horseplay, which served as a pivotal lesson on an officer's responsibility to maintain discipline and care for the troops beyond clinical duties. (11:45-17:15) Breaking Barriers to Earn the Expert Field Medical Badge The conversation shifts to the guest's historic achievement as the first woman to earn the EFMB. She details her determination to meet the same physical standards as the male soldiers, including marching 12 miles instead of the required 8 for women, viewing the grueling training as an opportunity to prove her capabilities. (17:15-22:42) Educating Nurses During the Vietnam War Era The guest describes her time as an instructor at Walter Reed, where she taught students from diverse backgrounds. She highlights the challenges of mentoring nursing students during the Vietnam War, helping them navigate their fears and obligations regarding deployment to a combat zone. (22:42-37:55) The Power of Policy and Having a Seat at the Table Moving into administration, the guest explains how she learned that writing good policy allows a leader to influence far more outcomes than hands-on care alone. She stresses the importance of nurses securing leadership roles to ensure they are in charge of their profession's destiny and not merely following orders from others. (37:55-45:34) Core Values and the Legacy of the Army Nurse Corps As the 125th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps approaches, the guest reflects on the enduring values of the profession, using the acronym CARE. She concludes with a dedication to her mentors and offers advice to current nurses on maintaining standards and commitment to the mission.   Take Home Messages Leadership Requires Practical Adaptability Success in military medicine often requires unlearning the rigid structures of "book learning" to adapt to the practical realities of the environment. True competence is demonstrated not just by clinical knowledge, but by the ability to handle unexpected situations and the human dynamics of the troops under one's command. The Responsibility of the Officer Extends Beyond Patient Care A medical officer's duty is not confined to the hospital bed or the clinic; it encompasses the overall welfare, discipline, and safety of the soldiers. Preventing tragedy through discipline and looking out for the troops is as vital as treating the wounds that result when safety protocols fail. Equality is Proven Through Standards Breaking barriers and earning respect often comes from a refusal to accept lower standards based on gender or background. By voluntarily meeting the more rigorous requirements set for counterparts, a leader demonstrates resilience and capability that silences doubters and inspires the team. Influence Through Policy and Administration While direct patient care is the heart of medicine, long-term impact is achieved by securing a "seat at the table" in administration and policy-making. Writing effective policy allows a medical professional to guide the hands of thousands of others, shaping the destiny of the profession and improving care on a systemic level. Total Commitment to the Profession Medical service is difficult, demanding work that requires a full "all-in" mentality. The key to longevity and success is to make a firm decision to commit to the profession; once that decision is made, energy should be directed toward the mission and patient care rather than complaints or negativity.   Episode Keywords Clara Adams-Ender, Army Nurse Corps, EFMB, Expert Field Medical Badge, Military Medicine, Leadership, Women in Military, Black History, Vietnam War Nursing, Walter Reed, Nursing Education, Healthcare Policy, Mentorship, WarDocs, Army General, Brigadier General, Nursing Administration, Military History, Veteran Stories, Medical Podcast Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

In Episode 48 of the Design of AI podcast, we unpack why the most common AI promises are collapsing under real market pressure. AI was meant to unlock strategic work, expand opportunity, and elevate creativity. Instead, UX and design roles are disappearing, agencies are cutting creative staff while buying automation, and freelance work is being devalued as execution becomes cheap.This episode is not about panic. It is about reality. Value still exists, but it is concentrating among those who can integrate AI into real systems, navigate ambiguity, and own outcomes rather than outputs.

In this conversation from Austin, Jim Cassidy, Lane Tipton, and Camden Bucey reflect on the abiding value of the Westminster Shorter Catechism as a tool for cultivating a God-centered, covenantally rich, and confessionally rooted Christian life. The discussion highlights Jim's new book, Introducing the Faith: A Study of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, which serves as a written complement to his two free Reformed Academy courses through which he teaches the Shorter Catechism (Questions 1–38 and Questions 39–106). Together, the hosts trace their own histories with the Standards, demonstrating how catechesis shapes believers in the chief end of man—to glorify and enjoy God forever. They also explore how the catechism's covenant theology anchors the church in biblical teaching, safeguarding the glory of God amid contemporary pressures. The discussion turns to the weighty task of confessional subscription—its history, responsibilities, and the risks of revision. With pastoral clarity and historical attentiveness, the hosts encourage churches and teachers to handle their confessions with both gratitude and vigilance. The episode concludes with a look at the ongoing mission of Reformed Academy and the resources being developed to strengthen the church in catechesis and confessional fidelity.

I'm standing outside a federal courthouse, talking to you as the many legal threads around Donald Trump tighten and twist in real time.Over just the past few days, one of the big storylines has shifted from criminal exposure to raw presidential power. In Washington, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit handed President Donald Trump a major win by upholding his removal of National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox and Merit Systems Protection Board member Cathy Harris without cause. According to analysis from Ogletree Deakins, the court went further than just blessing those firings: it held that the statutory “for cause” protections for top officials at powerful independent agencies are unconstitutional when those officials wield substantial executive power. In plain English, the D.C. Circuit said President Donald Trump can sweep out key regulators at will, reshaping agencies that for decades had a measure of insulation from the Oval Office.At almost the same time, the Supreme Court has been functioning as an emergency referee over a growing list of Trump fights. SCOTUSblog reports that on its interim or “shadow” docket the justices have been fielding high‑stakes disputes over President Donald Trump's use of the National Guard in Illinois, his clashes with immigration judges, and efforts by groups like Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington to get internal administration documents through the Freedom of Information Act. The Brennan Center for Justice has been tracking these emergency cases and notes that, since early 2025, the Supreme Court has repeatedly sided with the Trump administration on issues like immigration crackdowns, reductions in the civil service, and the removal of members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Labor Relations Board.All of this sits on top of the longer‑running legal sagas that you as listeners have been following for years: the civil verdicts in New York, the federal and state criminal indictments, and the defamation and assault findings in the E. Jean Carroll cases. Public radio outlets like WABE have been keeping a running tally of where those stand since Donald Trump's return to the White House, tracking appeals of jury verdicts, ongoing sentencing fights for his former aides, and the way new Justice Department decisions under his own administration intersect with prosecutions that began before he reclaimed power.So when we talk about “the Trump trials” right now, we are not just talking about Donald Trump as a criminal defendant. We are talking about Donald Trump as president, testing and expanding the boundaries of executive authority in courtroom after courtroom, from the D.C. Circuit to the Supreme Court, while older cases about his past business dealings and political conduct grind through appeals.For you listening, the takeaway this week is simple: judges are increasingly being asked whether Donald Trump is merely subject to the law, or also able to rewrite the balance of power inside the law itself. Those answers are coming fast, and they are reshaping the presidency in ways that will outlast any single trial.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

My guest today is Aaron Murphy, founder of MurphsLife Foundation, a storyteller and builder working across Latin America to turn direct aid into long-term, dignity-first systems. We sit down in El Salvador's National Palace to talk about what happens when you hit rock bottom—and choose responsibility, faith, and service instead of collapse. Murph shares his journey from addiction, debt, panic attacks, and near-death experiences to building villages, farms, and regenerative communities that have already impacted tens of thousands of people. We talk about why life doesn't get easier—you simply choose which kind of “hard” you're willing to live with—and why real sovereignty starts with food, land, shelter, and low time preference. We explore inflation, the fragility of the dollar system, and why Bitcoin matters not as speculation, but as intergenerational infrastructure for families who currently live in survival mode. Murph explains his vision for using Bitcoin to help entire villages escape poverty—not through handouts, but through ownership, education, and long-term incentives. Finally, we go deep into faith, suffering, fasting, and the idea that meaning comes from choosing a mission larger than yourself. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing big tech algorithms & gov. censorship.

Life can quietly shift into maintenance mode. Responsibilities pile up, energy drops, and days become about getting through instead of moving forward. Survival starts to feel normal, even when fulfillment fades. Over time, coping replaces creating, confidence softens, and direction blurs. Awareness becomes the turning point that helps energy return, choices feel intentional again, and growth begin to replace exhaustion without pressure or burnout.

Chores. Just hearing the word can bring up a mix of reactions—from sighs to eye rolls to “we should really work on that in our house.” In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that seems simple on the surface but can be surprisingly challenging to put into practice.

How should Christian faith shape work in an era of pluralism, fear, and systemic inequality? Sociologist Elaine Howard Ecklund (Rice University) is presenting new insights for faith at work through data, theology, and lived experience. "People love to talk about individual ethics … but what was really hard for them to think about was, what would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" In this episode, Ecklund joins Mark Labberton to reflect on moving from individual morality toward systemic responsibility, dignity, and other-centred Christian witness at work. Together they discuss faith and work, the gender and race gaps created by systemic injustice, fear and power, religious diversity, rest and human limits, gender and racial marginalization, and the cost of a credible Christian witness. Episode Highlights "People love to talk about individual ethics." "What would it mean to make our workplace better as a whole?" "People are much more apt to take us seriously if we first take them seriously." "Suppression of faith in particular is not the answer." "God is God and I am not." About Elaine Howard Ecklund Elaine Howard Ecklund is professor of sociology at Rice University and director of the Boniuk Institute for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance. She is a leading sociologist of religion, science, and work whose research examines how faith operates in professional and institutional life. Ecklund has led large-scale empirical studies on religion in workplaces and scientific communities, supported by the National Science Foundation, Templeton Foundation, and Lilly Endowment. She is the author or co-author of several influential books, including Working for Better, Why Science and Faith Need Each Other, and Science vs. Religion.

Big Idea:Responsibility is not a burden God puts on you—it is a gift He puts in you that produces joy when you live it out.The angels announced the birth of Jesus not to kings or crowds, but to shepherds quietly doing their jobs in the fields. They weren't chasing excitement. They weren't escaping responsibility. They were being faithful—and that's where joy met them.This sermon challenges the idea that joy is found in escape, novelty, or comfort. While culture tells us joy is something we chase, Scripture shows us joy is something we discover when we faithfully steward what God has placed in our hands.Joy is rooted in responsibility, not escape. God often meets His people not when they are running from what He's called them to, but when they are obedient in obscure places. Like David tending sheep before slaying Goliath, or delivering bread before winning battles, joy is often hidden behind the responsibilities we'd rather avoid.Responsibility gives life meaning. When we trade faithfulness for distraction, we lose joy. But when we commit to showing up—in our homes, our work, our relationships, our church—we find that joy emerges in the ordinary.Advent reminds us that joy came to a manger, not a palace. To the faithful, not the famous. And that same joy—Jesus Himself—is present with us today in the mundane, the unseen, and the responsibilities God has entrusted to us.Joy is found when we show up.Joy is found in obedience.Joy is found in Jesus.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Alexes Hazen—board-certified plastic surgeon, microsurgery specialist, and founder of Zen Essentials—for a thoughtful conversation on skin health, ethical aesthetics, and why real results can never be separated from whole-body well-being. With a background that spans public health, global medicine, and some of the most technically demanding surgical training, Dr. Hazen brings a rare depth to how she thinks about beauty, healing, and care.Her path to medicine was anything but linear. From working with the New York City Department of Health during the AIDS crisis to serving in the Peace Corps in Honduras, Dr. Hazen learned early that medicine isn't just technical—it's human. Those experiences shaped a philosophy she carries into every aspect of her work today: outcomes are influenced as much by mental health, sleep, nutrition, and support systems as they are by surgical skill.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Hazen challenges the surface-level thinking that dominates skincare culture. Skin, she reminds us, is an organ—and it reflects what's happening internally. No product can compensate for chronic stress, dehydration, or exhaustion. When those fundamentals are addressed, skincare finally has the space to work as it should.She also speaks candidly about ethics in aesthetic medicine—why board certification matters, why saying “no” is sometimes the most responsible choice, and how listening to patients should always come before selling solutions.That same restraint and intention led to the creation of Zen Essentials, born from Dr. Hazen's own struggles with severe skin sensitivities. Designed to be effective yet calming, the line reflects her belief that skincare should support the body—not fight it.Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Alexes Hazen unpack holistic healing, ethical aesthetics, and why real skin health starts with caring for the whole person.SHOP Zen Essentials and learn more on social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Guest Welcome(0:46) - A Nonlinear Path Into Medicine(1:26) - Public Health, AIDS Education & the Peace Corps(2:46) - Falling in Love With Surgery & Plastic Surgery Training(3:01) - Early Burn Injury, Scars & Coming Full Circle(4:12) - Why Holistic Care Matters in Surgical Outcomes(8:40) - Skin as a Reflection of Whole-Body Health(11:22) - Ethics, Training & Responsibility in Aesthetic Surgery(26:21) - The Origins of Zen Essentials & Sensitive Skin SciencePlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.

Leon Thomas has been working in the entertainment industry since he was just a kid. He got his start on Broadway, performing in “The Lion King” when he was eight. He then landed a starring role on the hit Nickelodeon show “Victorious” with Ariana Grande. But behind the scenes, Leon was quietly building his music career, writing and producing songs. Now, he's one of the most nominated people at this year's Grammys, with six nods, including one for album of the year. Leon sits down with Tom Power to talk about his journey from Broadway to Nickelodeon to R&B superstardom.

As the year comes to a close, many of us are carrying things we were never meant to take into the next season. Expectations. Guilt. Responsibilities that drain us. Relationships that no longer align. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to release without guilt and trust God with what we're letting go of. We explore how letting go is not failure or weakness, but an act of faith and obedience, and how making space is often the first step toward peace, rest, and what God wants to do next. If you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stretched thin heading into the new year, this episode is an invitation to loosen your grip and trust that everything will still be okay.FOLLOW US: @girlsirlpod@mariahclayton_Don't forget to leave a 5 star review!
