Tal Fortgang discusses the "Scalian revolution" that shifted the Supreme Court toward judicial restraint. He notes that while Scalia faced a hostile press and "nasty" internal criticism from colleagues like Harry Blackmun, his ideas eventually prevailed. Fortgang also observes that the modern partisan venom in confirmation hearings began during Scalia's era with the contentious treatment of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. (12)1930

For decades, Israel has faced an escalating threat on its northern border as Hezbollah, backed and armed by Iran, amassed an arsenal of rockets aimed at Israeli civilians. In this episode, Andrew Parker examines the history behind the conflict, the promises made by the international community following the 2006 Lebanon War, and why those promises failed.Andrew argues that Hezbollah's continued presence in Lebanon represents not only a direct threat to Israel's security, but also a barrier to freedom and stability for the Lebanese people themselves. He explores the role of Iran in fueling regional instability, critiques the West's response to Israel's security concerns, and offers a candid assessment of President Trump's current approach toward Iran and the broader Middle East.Can peace be achieved without confronting the forces that seek to undermine it? And what happens when ceasefires become substitutes for lasting solutions?This episode tackles the difficult questions surrounding freedom, security, terrorism, and the future of the Middle East.Sponsored by Parker Daniels Kibort, a premier litigation law firm based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

Growing calls for more learning support staff as teachers increasingly resort to physically restraining students with high needs. The Ministry of Education has recorded almost 9,400 restraint incidents since 2023. Auckland Primary Principals' Association President Lucy Naylor told Francesca Rudkin last year's $750 million learning support boost is only just reaching schools. She says more specialist staff are needed to prevent incidents. Naylor says it feels like a band-aid situation currently, where schools are managing how they can.

Ecclesiastes 7:14–29 confronts the strange unpredictability of life and calls believers to reject simplistic thinking. Solomon urges people to embrace both prosperity and adversity because God uses each in ways we often cannot see. Good days are gifts to enjoy, while difficult seasons develop grit, wisdom, and dependence on God. The chapter dismantles the false idea of “karma” or earned righteousness, reminding us that life does not always reward the righteous or punish the wicked in predictable ways. Instead of exhausting ourselves trying to earn favor with God through performance or nitpicking religion, the Gospel points us to the righteousness of Jesus Christ freely given by grace. True wisdom learns to trust God through both blessing and hardship. Solomon also turns the mirror toward the human heart. Rather than constantly judging others, wisdom begins with humility: “Is it I?” People are messy, sinful, and capable of scheming, including ourselves. Relationships, marriage, success, pleasure, and even God's good gifts can become traps when distorted by selfish desire. Solomon's own life became a warning of what happens when good gifts are twisted into idols. Yet the answer is not despair but surrender. Through the mirror of Scripture, God exposes our crookedness and begins making us upright again. The call of Ecclesiastes is to stop trying to control life, trust God in its mystery, pursue holiness over shallow happiness, and allow Christ to transform us “from one degree of glory to another.”

Ecclesiastes 7 shifts Solomon's focus from chasing pleasure and success to pursuing wisdom and character under God. A good name is shown to be more valuable than wealth because reputation outlives achievement when life ends. Remembering death cuts through the world's obsession with image and temporary success, redirecting attention toward what truly lasts. Solomon also presents sorrow and mourning not as enemies, but as tools God often uses to refine people, expose sin, and produce lasting change, while laughter remains a gift that cannot accomplish the same deep work. The chapter also highlights the value of honest rebuke, faithfulness, and perseverance. True community requires loving correction that heals rather than flatters, and integrity is measured more by consistency than charisma. Solomon describes humanity as both dignified image-bearers and deeply crooked through sin, unable to fully straighten themselves apart from God. The answer is not pretending to be perfect, but desiring transformation and depending on God's renewing work so that authenticity and holiness grow together.

On this episode, I ask whether a brand built entirely on restraint and considered growth can have a coherent relationship with AI. I sit down with Andrew Cottington, Director of Digital at Studio Nicholson, the London-based fashion brand known for its modular wardrobe, fabric-led design, and a customer base that tends to find it rather than be found. We dig into how a brand that deliberately avoids chasing scale thinks about customer acquisition and where performance marketing fits. We get into the loyalty programme they rebuilt after deciding fixed discounts were too transactional for their customer. We tackle the agentic storefront they launched in February with Swap, and something Andrew noticed that I thought was sharp: it was their most loyal customers, not new ones, who embraced it first. And we get into what considered growth actually looks like when the tools you're being asked to adopt are moving faster than anyone can predict.If you're running or marketing a brand that leads with taste and is trying to figure out where AI fits without compromising what makes the brand worth following, this one's for you.

Ecclesiastes peels back the illusion of a full life without God, testing the usual suspects like money, power, pleasure, and even religion. In chapter 5, the spotlight turns to worship, where Solomon calls for reverence over routine. Entering God's presence isn't a casual stroll but sacred ground that invites humility, honesty, and awe. True worship isn't performance for others but a heart posture that recognizes who God is, echoed in the lives of figures like David, Isaiah, and Paul, who approached God with brokenness and deep reverence. Listening and speaking become the twin gates of worship. Ears are meant to be tuned for God's voice, not dulled by distraction or empty ritual, while mouths must resist careless words and transactional vows. Scripture presses for integrity where life and worship align, not a split existence. At the center stands the fear of the Lord, a steady compass that brings clarity, shapes character, and softens the heart. When that reverence takes root, even our words begin to change, shifting from sparks that burn to embers that warm and give life.
About this episode If you've ever called yourself "the best-kept secret" in your industry and felt a little proud of it - this episode is the reframe you've been avoiding. Monique Bryan unpacks why building in private has quietly become a positioning liability, especially now that AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI overviews are deciding who gets recommended based on public-facing authority signals. If you don't have a paper trail, you're not in the answer. This is not a content-strategy episode. This is an authority-strategy episode. The takeaway is sharper, smaller, and harder to ignore: you don't need to post more. You need to exist more. What you'll learn Why "best-kept secret" is a visibility problem dressed up as a virtue The three real costs of building in private: referrals, AI recommendations, and positioning How AI discovery works in 2026, and what authority signals actually feed it Why fixing your Discovery layer (SEO, content, ads) doesn't work when the breakdown is at Presence and Association The Authority Stack framework, explained in under a minute Three concrete re-entry moves to close the gap in 30 days - one room, one asset, one conversation Chapters 00:00 - Cold open: building in private isn't a strategy, it's a hiding spot 01:30 - The "best-kept secret" trap 05:00 - Why we hide: polish, perfectionism, and ADHD 09:00 - The three real costs: referrals, AI, and positioning 13:00 - What "building in public" actually means (it's not posting) 14:30 - The Authority Stack, explained 16:00 - Three moves to close the gap this month 18:30 - Close + the question worth sitting with Memorable quotes "Being the best-kept secret means the people who need you most don't know you exist. That's not humility. That's a visibility problem dressed up as a virtue." "Restraint wasn't discipline for me. It was decay." "AI doesn't know you're the best-kept secret. It just knows you're not there." "You don't need to post more. You need to exist more. Posting is output. Existing is positioning. One takes energy every day. The other compounds."

If you've been with us recently, you may recall how David beautifully handled his conflict with Saul. He had the perfect opportunity to retaliate against the man who was trying to kill him, but David chose the higher road. Now today, we find him in a similar circumstance, but this time he tries to take matters into his own hands. Rather than getting all worked up, and seek vengeance, there's a much better course of action to take.
We are studying First Samuel right now and today David encounters a foolish man named Nabal. Ironically, the name Nabal means, "Fool". We will see how David deals with a fool, and how we should too.

Ecclesiastes 3:16–22 shifts from confidence in God's ordered seasons to an honest wrestling with injustice and mortality. Solomon observes a world where wrongdoing often prospers and righteousness goes unrewarded, exposing the fragile gap between expectation and reality. Human behavior can slip into something beastlike when power overrides compassion, and the deepest wounds often come from those closest. This tension crescendos in the question of death itself—whether life ends in silence or if something of the human soul endures beyond the grave. From there, the sermon explores competing views of what comes next, showing how beliefs about eternity shape how people live now. While some perspectives lead to despair or detached living, biblical hope anchors itself in God's justice and the promise of resurrection. Solomon models a response of preaching truth to his own heart: though doubt is real, God will ultimately make things right. Through Christ, the promise of resurrection and final judgment transforms fear into courage, freeing people from bitterness and grounding them in hope, culminating in remembrance of that redemption through communion.

Operation Epic Fury was never the pretext for a larger, endless war, and the so-called anti-MAGA right—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, or Marjorie Taylor Greene—should know better than to label it as such, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” The whole subtext of the Iran campaign is this: While regime change is not the primary agenda, America's weakening of the regime may spur people to rise up and overthrow the government.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Rosemary Kelanic, director of the Middle East program at Defense Priorities, about why oil has shaped U.S. involvement in the Middle East and how it connects to the current U.S.-Iran war. She explains Trump's stated objectives (regime change, stopping a nuclear weapon, limiting missiles, ending proxy support) and traces the longer U.S.-Iran history from the 1953 coup through 1979. We discuss why the Middle East matters for low-cost oil, why the U.S. is still vulnerable to oil shocks despite high production, and how Strait of Hormuz disruption affects China, Europe (especially LNG), Russia's revenues and leverage, and Gulf-state relations with Iran. We cover oil's military importance, EV electrification as a partial solution, debates over U.S. grand strategy, credibility, and Taiwan, and she argues the U.S. should end the war.(00:00) Why Oil Shapes Power(00:21) Meet Dr. Rosemary Kelanic(01:56) Why the US Is in Iran(02:18) Four Stated War Goals(04:03) 1953 Coup to 1979 Fallout(05:59) Oil and the Cold War(08:35) The Global Oil Bathtub(11:24) China's Resilience and EV Edge(13:30) Winners and Losers: Russia and Europe(17:21) Allies React: Japan and Korea(19:06) Victory Disease and No Exit(21:58) Gulf States and Iran Relations(23:39) Iran's Military and Domestic Politics(26:16) US Politics and War Backlash(28:03) Israel's Objectives vs US Interests(30:52) Why Oil Matters for War(31:24) Oil as War Fuel(32:23) From Coal to Oil Power(33:44) Electrifying Civilian Transport(35:28) Oil Shocks and EV Adoption(37:29) Defining Grand Strategy(38:18) US Primacy and Posture(40:47) Restraint and Overextension(44:56) World War II Lessons(46:25) Guns Versus Butter(49:48) China, Bases, and Taiwan(52:45) Credibility and Cold War Logic(56:44) Ending the Iran War(58:47) Further Reading and Wrap-Up-Follow Rosemary Kelanic on Twitter/XRead her recent articles & op-eds

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Restraint"
On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with guitarist and composer Bob Lanzetti, best known as one of the founding members of Snarky Puppy. I've admired Bob's playing for a long time, so getting the chance to talk with him felt especially meaningful. We begin with something many musicians quietly carry with them: the fear of hand issues and how that concern evolves over the course of a career. Bob reflects honestly on how he thinks about it now compared to earlier years.From there, we rewind to the beginning—growing up around his dad's guitar, discovering The Beatles, and the simple invitation that changed everything: “Learn this song and you can sit in with my band.” That moment set Bob firmly on the path toward becoming a guitarist. He traces his journey through early mentors, jazz studies, and eventually to the University of North Texas, where he found a musical community that would change his life—and where Snarky Puppy first came together.We spend time talking about the musical ecosystem around North Texas as well, especially the gospel and R&B scenes that shaped Bob's ear in ways the classroom couldn't. Bob shares how Snarky Puppy actually learns and rehearses music—often through oral tradition, demos, and Logic sessions—and how the band's three-guitar setup works without stepping on each other's sonic space. Along the way, he reflects on something younger musicians often overlook: the importance of restraint, listening, and self-balancing within a band.One of my favorite parts of the conversation centers on Bob's Nosferatu project, where he composed and performed an original score for the classic silent film during the COVID years. That project opened the door to exploring 20th-century classical textures, string writing, layered guitars, and production techniques. We wrap up by talking about the wide range of influences that shape Bob's music—from Charlie Christian and Jim Hall to Sonic Youth and Derek Bailey—and what's ahead in 2026, including GroundUP Festival, touring with Snarky Puppy alongside the Metropole Orchestra, his trio work, and the growing role of producing in his creative life.Key TakeawaysMusicians confront physical concerns over time — long careers require resilience and perspective.Early invitations can shape a life path — a simple opportunity to sit in with a band set Bob on the guitar journey.Community matters — the University of North Texas and the surrounding Dallas scene were foundational for Snarky Puppy.Listening and restraint define great band playing — especially in complex ensemble settings like a three-guitar lineup.Musical learning often happens by ear — oral tradition and demos play a huge role in how bands develop material.Creative side projects expand the palette — Bob's Nosferatu score opened the door to new textures and production ideas.Producing can become another creative outlet — shaping the sound of recordings scratches the same itch as performing.Music from the EpisodeB - Bob LanzettiAnonymous - Bob LanzettiThe Seven Deadly Sins (from Nosferatu) - Bob LanzettiJenny is a Donkey - Bob LanzettiAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

Jacob Collier is heading on tour with his latest album, The Light For Days. It's a stark contrast to his last project, Djesse — a sprawling eight-year saga built on collaboration and voices from around the world. Now, he's stripped it all back to just Jacob and his guitar.

Welcome to Day 2835 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2835 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 119:97-104 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2835 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2835 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Mem of Meditation – Wiser Than the World In our previous episode on this grand expedition, we scaled the twelfth stanza of Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, the “Lamed” section. We witnessed a breathtaking shift in perspective. After feeling like a shriveled wineskin choking in the smoke of his afflictions, the psalmist lifted his head. He looked up, and recognized that the eternal Word of Yahweh stands completely firm in the heavens. We learned that while every earthly empire, philosophy, and idol has a finite limit, the expansive, life-giving commands of the Creator are boundless. We chose to quietly fix our minds on God's cosmic order, even when the wicked lay traps in the shadows. Today, we take our next determined step forward, moving into the thirteenth stanza of this magnificent, alphabetical mountain. We are stepping into the “Mem” section, covering Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, verses ninety-seven through one hundred four, in the New Living Translation. In the ancient Hebrew alphabet, the letter “Mem” represents water. It symbolizes a flowing stream, the source of life, and an overwhelming, immersive flood. This imagery is absolutely perfect for the verses we are about to explore. In this stanza, the psalmist is completely immersed in the Word of God. He is bathing his mind in the Torah. And the result of this total immersion is profound, supernatural wisdom. He discovers that by constantly swimming in the instructions of the Creator, he has actually bypassed the greatest intellects of his culture. Let us step onto the trail, and wade into these deep, life-giving waters. The first segment is: The Obsession of Love Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verse ninety-seven. Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long. The stanza opens with an explosive, emotional outburst: “Oh, how I love your instructions!” This is not a polite, religious sentiment; it is a blazing, all-consuming obsession. In our modern, Western mindset, we often struggle to understand how someone could passionately love a set of laws. We view laws as restrictive, boring, and burdensome. But the Ancient Israelite understood that the Torah was the very heartbeat of Yahweh. It was the architectural blueprint for human flourishing. To love the instructions of God is to love the mind of God. Because he possesses this deep, fiery affection for the Creator's design, his behavior is radically altered. “I think about them all day long.” Other translations say, “It is my meditation all the day.” The Hebrew word for meditation here implies a low, continuous murmuring. It is the act of talking to yourself, chewing on a thought, and turning it over and over in your mind. The psalmist does not just read a quick verse in the morning, and then forget about it for the rest of the day. The Word of God is the background music of his entire existence. As he works, as he walks, and as he interacts with his community, the instructions of the Most High are constantly flowing through his consciousness, like a steady stream of water. The second segment is: The Supernatural Advantage of the Exile Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses ninety-eight through one hundred. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are my constant guide. Yes, I have more insight than my teachers, for I am always thinking of your laws. I am even wiser than my elders, for I have kept your commandments. Because his mind is completely saturated with the cosmic order, the psalmist makes a series of staggering, audacious comparisons. He looks at three distinct groups of people—his enemies, his teachers, and his elders—and he realizes that his immersion in the Torah has given him a massive, intellectual advantage. First, he declares, “Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are my constant guide.” To understand this, we must look through the lens of the Divine Council worldview. The “enemies” are not just human rivals; they are individuals operating under the deceptive influence of the rebel spiritual principalities. These enemies may be politically savvy, militarily strong, and highly strategic. The world often looks at the kingdom of darkness, and assumes that it holds the ultimate, pragmatic wisdom. But the psalmist recognizes that worldly wisdom is ultimately a dead end. Because the commands of Yahweh are his “constant guide”—literally, they are always with him—he has outsmarted the adversary. He can see through the traps. He can anticipate the destructive consequences of sin. He outmaneuvers his enemies, not because he has a higher IQ, but because he has access to the uncorrupted intelligence of the Supreme Commander of the cosmos. He then moves closer to home, making an even more shocking claim: “Yes, I have more insight than my teachers, for I am always thinking of your laws.” In the ancient Near East, the teacher, or the sage, was held in the highest possible regard. To claim superior insight to your instructors bordered on scandalous. But the psalmist is not being arrogant; he is pointing out a tragic reality. Sometimes, the academic and religious elite become corrupted. Teachers can become obsessed with human philosophy, cultural trends, or dry, legalistic traditions, entirely losing the life-giving pulse of the Creator's truth. The psalmist bypassed their earthly curriculum. He went straight to the source. Because he is “always thinking,” or meditating, on the laws of God, he has tapped into a depth of insight that no human university can provide. Finally, he looks at the ultimate authority figures in ancient society. “I am even wiser than my elders, for I have kept your commandments.” The elders were the gray-haired leaders at the city gates. They represented the accumulated, generational experience of the culture. Usually, age correlates with wisdom. But age alone does not guarantee spiritual discernment. If an elder has spent a lifetime compromising with the surrounding pagan culture, their gray hair is merely a crown of foolishness. The psalmist realizes that true wisdom is not measured by the number of years you have lived, but by the degree of your obedience. “I am even wiser... for I have kept your commandments.” Action is the catalyst for understanding. You can study theology for eighty years, but if you do not actively obey the Word, you will be outsmarted by a young, inexperienced believer who simply does what the Creator asks. The third segment is: The Restraint of the Narrow Path Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred one and one hundred two. I have refused to walk on any evil path, so that I may remain obedient to your word. I haven't turned away from your regulations, for you have taught me well. This supernatural wisdom produces a highly disciplined lifestyle. The psalmist states, “I have refused to walk on any evil path, so that I may remain obedient to your word.” Literally, the text says, “I have restrained my feet from every evil way.” In a world flooded with temptation, where the rebel gods constantly advertise wide, easy roads to pleasure and power, obedience requires aggressive, physical restraint. You have to actively pull back on the reins of your own desires. The psalmist refuses to dabble in the shadows. He knows that you cannot walk on an evil path, and simultaneously maintain your grip on the cosmic blueprint. Compromise destroys clarity. He explains the secret to his consistency in verse one hundred two. “I haven't turned away from your regulations, for you have taught me well.” This is a beautiful, intimate revelation. Why didn't he need to rely on the compromised teachers and the worldly elders? Because Yahweh Himself became his personal instructor. “You have taught me well.” When a believer immerses their mind in the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit takes on the role of the ultimate Rabbi. God actively guides, convicts, and illuminates the mind of the exile. The psalmist has remained steady on the narrow path, because he has been sitting at the feet of the only Teacher who never makes a mistake, and who never bows to the pressures of the culture. The fourth segment is: The Sweetness of Truth and the Hatred of Falsehood Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses one hundred three and one hundred four. How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey. Your commandments give me understanding;...

New research from Harvard reveals that the bigger threat to your relationships, your health, and your sense of belonging may be all the things you're choosing not to say.How many times today did something cross your mind that you chose to keep to yourself, a feeling you swallowed, a compliment you almost gave, a truth you pulled away from?

Burke Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, whose award-winning research on self-disclosure has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist.

Feeling like the wheels are coming off your life—or the world? The Year of the Fire Horse is here, and the old paradigm is dissolving fast. For some, it feels like rock bottom. For others, a slow unraveling. This week, Lacy and Jessica unpack the collective stripping, ego deaths, and visibility fears rising to the surface—and why this acceleration is actually a portal into your most authentic self. If you've been stuck in perfectionism, burned out by optimization culture, or clear on your purpose but unable to move, this episode unpacks what's happening beneath the surface. Through the lens of TBM tools, human design, Chinese astrology, and nervous system regulation, they explain why hustle, formulas, and “matrix authenticity” won't carry you into the new paradigm—but why a more aligned, authentic approach will. This season isn't about fear. It's about releasing what no longer fits so something truer can emerge. The real question is: are you ready to stop performing and step into your true purpose?

The Letter of Jude E4 — In verses 5-7, Jude warns a Jewish Messianic community about a group of people in their midst who live without moral restraint and reject Jesus' authority. After comparing them to a series of human and angelic rebels in the Hebrew Bible, Jude then calls out the corrupt church members in verses 8-10 as ones who “slander the glorious-ones,” referring to angels. What is Jude talking about, and why would slandering spiritual beings be considered offensive? In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the Hebrew Bible and Second-Temple period apocryphal literature to understand the unique role and revered status of angels among 1st-century Jewish people.FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter summaries, referenced Scriptures, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSRecap of Introduction and Setup for Verses 8-10 (0:00-10:21)Angels in the Hebrew Bible and Second-Temple Literature (10:21-39:02)Michael the Archangel's Restraint (39:02-1:06:12)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.BIBLEPROJECT JUDE TRANSLATIONView our full translation of the Letter of Jude.REFERENCED RESOURCESGod and Spiritual Beings Podcast SeriesCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books.SHOW MUSIC“Chillbop ft.
