Charles Burton and Gordon Chang discuss how trade tensions and rhetoric from the US have led to increased disdain among Canadians toward their neighbor. Burton discusses a poll showing Canadians view China more favorably than the US due to perceived economic threats from American tariffs. While the integrated North American market remains strong, Canadian provincial governments are reportedly restricting US alcohol sales. There are even suggestions that Canada should adopt "resistance" strategies similar to Ukraine. (4)1900 INDIA
When the Babylonian captivity finally ended, the returning remnant didn't find a pristine Promised Land—they found cracked foundations, burned gates, and a pile of rubble. If your faith, your marriage, or your sense of identity currently feels like a collection of broken stones, Ezra and Nehemiah provide the ultimate masterclass on how to reconstruct what has been destroyed. Summary: In this powerful episode, we delve into the twin narratives of Ezra and Nehemiah, books that historically stood as a single text detailing the painful, beautiful work of restoration. We map this journey onto the psychological and spiritual landscape of construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction, discovering how the Lord uses common, unnamed people to do the heavy lifting of the kingdom. The Temple and the Wall: We analyze why Ezra focuses on rebuilding the temple (our spiritual center) while Nehemiah focuses on rebuilding the walls (our behavioral boundaries). You cannot safely have one without the other. The Tears of the Ancient Men: We step into the emotional complexity of Ezra 3, where the shouting of the young blends with the weeping of the old. Discover how beauty emerges from ashes when we confront our history with absolute honesty. Samaritan Sabotage: We break down the subtle tactics of Sanballat and Tobiah—the "counselors" hired to frustrate the work through a war of words rather than an open military conflict. Learn how to navigate modern historical half-truths and secular critiques. The Trowel and the Spear: We dissect Nehemiah's defensive strategy, where workers built with one hand while holding a weapon in the other. We explore our modern duty to build up testimonies while defending the kingdom from relentless intimidation. Saying "Oh No" to Ono: We confront the modern trap of diversion. Nehemiah was targeted with invitations to negotiate in the plain of Ono, but his response stands as a timeless shield against worldly distractions: "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down." The Historical Prayer: We unpack the breathtaking Levitical prayer in Nehemiah 9, tracing how God consistently answers Israel's structural rebellion with manifold mercies, reminding us that He never closes shop on a repentant soul. Call-to-Action: Nehemiah refused to flee into the temple to save his own skin, recognizing that true covenant leadership requires us to stand our ground with a clear conscience and trust the Master. When the modern adversaries of faith tell you that you are trying to "revive stones out of a heap of rubbish," how do you keep your mind focused on the work?

//The Wire//2300Z July 24, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: TARGETING CONTINUES TO ESCALATE THROUGHOUT MIDDLE EAST. EXPLOSIVES RECOVERED DURING RAID IN IRELAND. SHILOH HENDRIX CONVICTED OF DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN LANDMARK FREE SPEECH CASE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: Iranian strikes continue to target American military installations around the region. Most of the American bases in Kuwait have been struck regularly by Iranian drones, and missile attacks remain constant at American positions in Jordan. This morning, the Patriot battery in Erbil was targeted again, with local Iraqis reporting large smoke plumes emitting from the section of the base where the launchers are located. Some successful interceptions of drones were also reported along with the more unconfirmed targeting efforts which can't yet be geolocated or verified with satellite imagery.Iran: American targeting continues to escalate as well. Airstrikes have been observed in Bandar Abbas, Jask, and Qeshm Island, along with more substantial strikes at the underground missile cities in Khorramabad and Yazd. Coastal targets remain an American priority as the ports and marinas housing small boats using the IRGCN are constantly targeted.Red Sea/HOA: This afternoon the war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia flared up once again, with both belligerents trading strikes this evening. The Yemeni port (and Houthi stronghold) of Hodeida was struck, with fires continuing to burn late into the night. Ireland: This morning an explosive device was discovered during a series of raids throughout the regions near the border with Northern Ireland. One suspect was arrested after a bag containing plastic explosives (allegedly Semtex) and a detonator was discovered in her vehicle.Analyst Comment: Details are very sketchy and vague, but this incident generally aligns with some of the other incidents that have recently taken place regarding explosives in Northern Ireland or adjacent areas. Much of the time the person arrested in possession of an explosive device is not the actual assailant, but instead transporting a package that they do not know the contents of. What the story is in this case, is not known. However, this is another reminder that even though Northern Ireland might be out of the mainstream news cycle, paramilitary groups are very much active throughout the region, and the causes of the Belfast riots last month have not been forgotten.-HomeFront-Minnesota: Last night, after a four day jury trial that involved multiple Somali interpreters, Shiloh Hendrix was convicted of one count of disorderly conduct, for calling a Somalian a name while being harassed on a Rochester playground in May of last year.Analyst Comment: This landmark First Amendment case is being appealed on the grounds that the judge in the case refused to allow evidence to be presented, verbally abused the defense council in front of the jury, and allowed one the the star witnesses in the case to commit perjury while on the stand.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Indications and warnings continue to point toward a widening of the war, possibly to include more serious targeting efforts over the next few days/weeks. All American aircraft that were stationed at Al Udeid Airbase in Qatar have been relocated to Ovda Airbase in Israel, and King Hussein International Airport in Jordan, both of which have been targeted by Iran since their movement earlier this week. Otherwise, military aviation has been extremely active throughout the region, with many assets being moved around from base to base.On the messaging front within the homeland, other more generalized indicators are stacking up too. The media blitz to urge a widening of the war has re-intensified to a staggering degree, to similar levels in the days leading up to the war back in February. Rhetoric from official White House sources has likewise continued to expand the war, with the announced targets now including more tunnels and bridges along with more deliberately civilian infrastructure such as power plants, and water treatment/desalination facilities. All things considered, as the weekend approaches more targeting is likely.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the Iranian regime's ballistic missiles have caused more American casualties -this regime must be destroyed with no further timeouts, negotiations, or delays, as it's their nature is to string out conflicts while rebuilding just enough capacity to outlast the Trump administration and complicate matters through the midterms via Democratic impeachment threats. The Army identified two soldiers killed in from Iran's attack at Mufuak Salti Air Base in Jordan—1st Lt. Tyler James Freean, and Private Isabella Gonzalez. President Trump has directed that Iran will pay many times over for every American killed. Also, an armed lunatic set off an incendiary device in an apparent anti-ICE attack outside a federal building housing FBI and ICE offices in NYC. Violence against ICE is up 1,300%. This is what happens when Democrats repeatedly demonizing ICE as Nazis who “disappear” people, along with similar rhetoric against Trump, Republicans, Netanyahu, and Israel. Later, the Tate brothers, once celebrated and applauded by figures in the Woke Reich like Tucker Carlson, and Steve Bannon, are now detained on a UK provisional arrest warrant seeking extradition for dozens of rapes, human trafficking, and related charges. These are scumbags running a slave sex operation and are not conservatives or people to promote or defend. These thugs and their enablers should be rejected - MAGA supporters want nothing to do with them. Afterward, the ICC is a complete political setup job that the United States and Israel do not recognize. No, Zohran Mamdani cannot arrest Benjamin Netanyahu while he's at the UN in NYC – it's a crime to attempt to arrest an elected head of state. Mamdani is hypocritically targeting only Netanyahu while giving a pass to mass-murdering dictators and leaders from Arab, Muslim, and other regimes. Finally, the growing cabal of Marxist Islamists, who want to destroy America, will swallow the Democrat leadership. They continue to claim they are for the “working people.” Marxist polices enslave the working people. The mass grave in in communist China, the Soviet Union, and North Korea were all filled with hardworking people who rejected those systems. Learn more about your ad choices.

-Rob argues that years of anti-ICE rhetoric have finally boiled over, comparing the latest attack on a federal building to a political pressure cooker where someone forgot to turn off the burner. -National security expert Morgan Murphy joins Rob to discuss the New York ICE facility attack, arguing that inflammatory political rhetoric has emboldened extremists. He also weighs in on the conflict with Iran, saying the Trump administration's strategy is weakening Tehran's regime, and predicts the Democratic Party's growing socialist wing will struggle to win over mainstream voters.

July 19, 2026; 9am: More than two dozen House Democrats met this week for a closed-door strategy session to map out how they would respond if President Trump tried to interfere in this year's midterms. House Democrats have told MS NOW that one fear they have is that Trump could be using the Save America Act as a pretext, and if the legislation fails, Trump could declare a state of emergency to make electoral rule changes. Congressman Joe Morelle of New York, who organized the meeting with House Democrats, joins “The Weekend” along with Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward.

Epic: something monumental, heroic, or grand in scale. This easily describes what millions of people around the world recognize as Homer's “The Odyssey”. And now, perhaps, also in Christopher Nolan's latest and most ambitious film project. Rarely have we seen such an anticipated movie release - IMAX tickets sold out 1 year in advance - nor such discourse surrounding its execution. Can Nolan's filmmaking successfully tell this Greek Mythological Tale? Or will he be lost at sea on this journey? Join us for a spoiler free The Odyssey review.

Duncan Barkes puts Labour peer Lord Foulkes on the spot over past insults aimed at the late Ann Widdecombe, including David Lammy's "poisonous bigot" jibe and Wes Streeting's jab — and asks whether Reform UK's Zia Yusuf has a point. Labour peer Lord Foulkes dodges and takes aim at Yusuf instead. Elsewhere, Andy Burnham's imminent premiership faces scrutiny questions, before lifestyle economist Chris Snowdon and commentator Benedict Spence rage against the government's latest nanny state crusade — banning junk food billboards — and ask when Britain will finally push back against endless state interference.

Donald Robertson is a cognitive behavioral psychotherapist, author of over nine books, and one of the founding voices in the modern Stoicism movement. He has spent over 30 years studying how ancient Greek and Roman philosophy intersects with contemporary psychology, and in this conversation we start where it all begins: the maxim carved into the temple of Apollo at Delphi. Know thyself. We explore what it actually meant, who said it, and why it still matters more than most self-help advice written in the last century.What We Dive Into:1. The Stoics drew a sharp line between what actually happens and the value judgments we add on top of it. To say something "is awful" treats our emotional reaction as a fact about the world.2. Of all the emotions that derail a life, anger gets the least attention in therapy, self-help, and honest self-reflection.3. In the ancient world, wisdom was not something you consumed or memorized. It was something you practiced daily. Collecting insights without changing your behavior is closer to what the Sophists sold than to what Socrates taught.Know Thyself, but not by yourself. A guided space to return home to yourself.https://www.knowthyselfcollective.com✨THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:https://drinkLMNT.com/KnowThyselfTry LMNT & get a free sample pack https://www.timeline.com/KNOWTHYSELF Save 20% off your Mitopure® Gummies___________00:00 Intro01:53 Know Thyself: The Three Sayings at Delphi07:44 What Philosophy Actually Means11:17 Socrates vs. the Sophists: Wisdom vs. Appearance18:05 The Stoic U-Turn: Reorienting What We Value23:59 Self-Knowledge as a Mirror for the Soul26:59 Values Clarification and the Eulogy Exercise35:02 Ad: LMNT36:03 Eudaimonia: Flourishing, Not Just Happiness39:40 Hardship as Opportunity for Character45:31 A Brief History of Stoicism53:22 Ad: Timeline Mitopure54:33 The Stoics Were Way Ahead of Their Time59:30 Stoicism, India, and Alexander the Great1:06:31 Early Christianity and Greek Philosophy1:14:03 Marcus Aurelius: The Man Behind the Meditations1:19:17 Philosophy Born from Injury: Marcus and Donald1:32:52 Uppercase vs. Lowercase Stoicism1:38:28 The Two Phases of Emotion1:45:47 Prosoché: The Practice of Paying Attention1:50:40 Appearance vs. Reality: The Stoic Core1:56:34 Turning the Chinese Proverb into a Practice2:02:44 The View from Above and the Acropolis2:11:28 Premeditatio Malorum: Rehearsing Adversity2:17:27 Anger as Temporary Madness2:23:26 De-Romanticizing Desire2:36:58 Sophists, Rhetoric, and Modern Influencers2:44:47 Why Self-Help Isn't More Helpful2:56:17 The Socratic Method as Cure for Conceit3:13:19 The King Who Rules Himself3:17:50 The Oracle of Delphi and Socrates' Mission3:33:44 Injustice Harms the Perpetrator More3:36:51 Donald's Own Life: Philosophy as a Path3:38:46 The Eleusinian Mysteries and Marcus's Initiation3:48:21 Learning to Die as Liberation3:55:29 Marcus's Naked Soul: Transparency as Practice3:58:07 What the Stoics Taught About Love4:02:05 Rapid Fire: The Great Philosophers4:16:00 Closing Message: You Underestimate Your Resilience___________✨MORE FROM DONALD ROBERTSON↳Substack: https://donaldrobertson.substack.com/↳Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1732050.Donald_J_Robertson↳Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/donaldjrobertson/↳YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DonaldJRobertsonAuthor/featured↳https://donaldrobertson.name

What exactly is Classical Christian Education? Ask ten people, and you might get ten different answers. Is it about Latin? The Great Books? The Trivium? Character formation? Academic excellence? In this foundational episode of our series, What is Classical Christian Education?, Davies Owens sits down with one of the pioneers of the modern classical movement, Dr. Robert Littlejohn, to answer that very question. Drawing from more than three decades of experience founding schools, training educators, and shaping the movement itself, Dr. Littlejohn explains why Classical Christian Education is far more than an educational method. It's a timeless approach to forming wise, articulate, faithful young men and women who are prepared not just for college or careers—but for life. Together, Davies and Robert explore why this centuries-old model may be exactly what families need in today's rapidly changing world. Tune in to hear: Why Classical Christian Education continues to grow around the world The surprising story that convinced Robert Littlejohn to start a classical school Why challenge—not ease—often produces joy in learning What makes a classical education different from simply adding Bible classes to a modern curriculum Why subjects like Latin and logic still matter today How classical schools cultivate "sticky faith" that endures into adulthood Why the Great Books remain relevant in every generation How timeless wisdom prepares students for a rapidly changing technological world To receive a free copy of Robert's book Wisdom and Eloquence for Parents for a limited time go to www.WisdomAndEloquence.org, and click on “Contact” to fill out your information for the free book.

RURAL ROUTE: JC COLE TALKS JULY 4TH THREATS, GOLD, AND GLOBAL POWER SHIFTS JC Cole joins Trent Loos from New Jersey for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with worries about possible disruptions to the upcoming July 4th 250-year celebration and quickly expands into bigger questions about supply chain challengers and the sun's angry disposition.
Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo welcome Casey Berman: former attorney, founder of Leave Law Behind (the leading coaching program helping attorneys transition into non-legal careers), multipreneur, strategy consultant, speaker, and author, for a discussion about work, identity, happiness, and the courage it takes to choose a different life. Casey knows this territory from the inside. He lived it. And he has spent years helping thousands of attorneys find what he calls their Unique Genius, the specific intersection of talent and joy that, when aligned with their work, produces not just professional success but the deeper contentment that a career in law, for many, was never able to provide. What we explore in this episode: The reality of life inside the legal profession, the hours, the pace, the stress, the culture, and why so many attorneys feel trapped even when their career looks successful from the outside What you can actually do with a law degree that doesn't involve practicing law, and why the answer is far broader and more interesting than most law students are ever told: consulting, compliance, legal technology, entrepreneurship, writing, business development, policy, education, coaching, and more than 100 documented alternatives The specific steps Casey recommends for assessing whether your unhappiness is situational (the wrong firm, the wrong practice area, the wrong city) or fundamental (the wrong career entirely), and why getting that diagnosis right is the most important first step How to get feedback from the people in your life, family, friends, colleagues, mentors, to identify what you are genuinely good at, what lights you up, and where your skills create value outside a courtroom or a contract review Bertrand Russell and The Conquest of Happiness, and why Russell's argument that most human unhappiness is self-generated and rooted in the wrong relationship to work maps precisely onto what Casey has observed in the legal profession for over a decade What Russell wrote about the sunk cost of identity: why we must be willing to let go of what we have invested in, emotionally, financially, intellectually, when it's clear it is not our talent or our strength, and why it is not only acceptable but necessary to grieve the self you thought you would be Rudy's perspective as a lawyer who stayed, and his advice for law students: do not let go of what makes you happy, because the time you spend on those things (screenwriting, acting, podcasting) will make you a better lawyer, not a worse one Casey's thoughts on the role of AI in law, what this means for the profession and those going into law. The philosophy of the examined career: what Socrates, Russell, and Casey Berman all agree on about the relationship between self-knowledge, honest feedback, and the possibility of genuine happiness in your work Books Mentioned in this episode (with Amazon Affiliate link): The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell The Million Dollar One Person Business by Elaine Pofeldt The Ancient Art of Thinking For Yourself: The Power of Rhetoric in Polarized Times by Robin Reames Guest: Casey Berman: founder of Leave Law Behind, the leading coaching program helping attorneys identify and transition into fulfilling non-legal careers. Multipreneur, strategy consultant, speaker, and storyteller. Former attorney. His work has been featured across major media and podcast platforms. Based in San Francisco. Good Is In The Details is hosted by Gwendolyn Dolske, Ph.D. and Rudy Salo — a philosophy, books, and ideas podcast exploring the examined life in the spirit of Socrates.

The $100,000 H-1b visa fee landed in September 2025 like a fire alarm in the hallways of medicine—hospitals panicked, advocacy groups mobilized, and a lot of people predicted the international resident pipeline would collapse. Dr. Bryan Carmody, The Sheriff of Sodium rejoins co-hosts David Lee, Mukund Viswanadha, and Isa Perez-Sandi to ask the question nobody was asking: was the panic grounded in reality? More interesting to think about: why rural physician shortages are a compensation and incentive problem, not a numbers problem; why loan forgiveness alone probably isn't moving the needle; and what separates effective physician advocacy from "just expressing emotion and hoping facts do the work." Then graduating high-school listener Aditi asks whether community college is a viable launch pad for medicine.
In this passionate segment, the host addresses decades of political rhetoric from the political left, demanding an end to Democrats labeling political opponents as "Nazis" or "fascists." Drawing historical parallels, the host argues that the term "Nazi" was popularized by media outlets like the New York Times to deflect from the "National Socialist" roots of the party. Turning attention to a recent U.S. Senate primary victory, the host critiques the media coverage surrounding candidate Grand Platner and his controversial SS Totenkopf tattoo, arguing that his victory reflects a disturbing rise in street-thug mentalities, socialism, and antisemitism within the modern progressive movement.

A Third Assassination Attempt:This is the third attempted assassination against President Donald Trump, crediting the Secret Service and law enforcement for stopping the suspect. Attribution of Responsibility to Political Rhetoric:Violent acts are being fueled by inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats, left‑leaning media figures, and progressive commentators, who are normalizing or encouraging political violence. Focus on Specific Statements and Figures:Remarks by Democratic leaders, media personalities, and online commentators that are endorsing or joking about violence, using these examples to argue that such language has real‑world consequences. Characterization of the Suspect:The alleged attacker is described as ideologically motivated rather than mentally ill, portrayed as a “radicalized” individual influenced by left‑wing ideology, academic environments, and media narratives about Trump and Republicans. Praise of Trump’s Response:President Trump acted with restraint and leadership after the incident, calling for unity, peaceful resolution of differences, and respect for free speech, even while enduring hostile questioning from the media. Criticism of Media Conduct:Media outlets and journalists are irresponsibly repeating accusations from the attacker’s manifesto and reinforcing narratives that the speakers believe contribute to further radicalization. Broader Warning About Political Climate:Escalating rhetoric, ideological indoctrination, and tolerance of violent language are creating a dangerous environment where political figures and public events increasingly require heightened security.
