Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez, the Venezuelan national shot by an ICE agent in Austin on Sunday, was thrown into the detention center at Pearsall with a federal bullet still lodged in his back. His shooting comes amidst a marked escalation of ICE aggression in North Central Austin and across the San Antonio ICE sector, where agitation in affected neighborhoods is rising. Ken Paxton, while blaming James Talarico in his campaign ads for Chinese landownership, turns out to count among his donors business interests specifically tied to Chinese investment in the U.S. The Texas Supreme Court puts the brakes on a dismissal of defamation claims by Robert Morris' victim Cindy Clemishire against Gateway Church - while Morris is found likely to be a donor to Republican Leigh Wambsganss' campaign for the Texas Senate - all as the Texas GOP appears primed for a "generational wipeout" in November.BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3y0z25v0zjwoKENS San Antonio: https://www.kens5.com/article/news/local/its-inhumane-lulac-attorneys-demand-accountability-after-ice-shoots-venezuelan-man-delivering-food-in-austin/273-61755718-41b7-492d-98f7-d3024b63c712Texas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/09/21/texas-austin-ice-shooting-neighborhood/Texas Monthly: https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/austin-ice-shooting-wilber-garces-perez/Roy's Report: https://roysreport.com/texas-supreme-court-stays-order-dismissing-clemishires-defamation-claims/Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/FortWorth/s/NhC49pHq0xHouston Chronicle: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/article/ken-paxton-donations-china-22438240.php?utm_source=redditNew York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/us/politics/bush-cornyn-paxton-senate-fund-raiser.html?smid=nytcore-android-shareNewsweek: https://www.newsweek.com/texas-republicans-face-generational-wipeout-amid-disastrous-polls-12457145Join Progress Texas and BallotReady for another LIVE podcast recording session with Asian Texans For Justice during this year's TribFest in Austin!

The old dividing line between Major Junior and NCAA hockey is disappearing.Ed Trefzger, Jim Connelly and Robert Morris head coach Derek Schooley examine the CHL's growing impact on college hockey—from a record-setting NHL Draft to a rapidly expanding recruiting pool of Major Junior players.A record 19 current or committed NCAA players were selected in the first round of the NHL Draft, with 110 chosen overall. But the larger story is how the new CHL-to-NCAA pathway is changing recruiting, roster construction and player development throughout the sport.The discussion then turns to four prominent coaching changes:• Brett Larson takes over at Minnesota• Nick Oliver succeeds Larson at St. Cloud State• Rob Rassey follows Ted Donato at Harvard• Eric Rud begins a new chapter at Alaska AnchorageWhich programs are best positioned for immediate success—and which new coach faces the most difficult transition?Find all of our podcasts at USCHO.com/podcasts
College hockey players may now have five years of eligibility—but House settlement roster limits leave participating programs with only 26 roster spots.In Episode 2 of the USCHO Weekend Review Offseason series, Ed Trefzger, Jim Connelly and Robert Morris coach Derek Schooley examine how the NCAA's new age-based eligibility model will affect college hockey.The panel explains why “5-for-5” is an imperfect shorthand, when a player's five-year clock begins and why the new system may change decisions about junior hockey, college enrollment, redshirts and player development.Also discussed:• The five-year clock beginning at the earlier of initial full-time college enrollment or the NCAA's age-19 trigger• The important September 1 birthday cutoff• Why sitting out, transferring or taking time away generally does not stop the clock• Transition rules for current players and incoming recruits• Court challenges that have complicated the implementation of the new model• The 26-player roster limit at House-participating Division I men's hockey programs• The end of traditional sport-specific scholarship limits at participating schools• Temporary roster protection for certain designated student-athletes• How additional eligibility and limited roster space could change recruiting and roster constructionThe group also confronts the ultimate roster-management question: If only one spot remains, do you choose the developmental freshman, the trusted veteran or the elite NHL prospect who may stay for only one season?Find all of our podcasts at USCHO.com/podcasts
Ken and Anthony spend the segment arguing over whether Ryan Day deserves real credit as a coach or whether Ohio State's success comes down to superior talent, using a Pete Fiutak clip about desperation as a jumping-off point. The debate turns into a full comparison between Day and Urban Meyer, with both sides trading examples of bad losses and soft schedules to make their case. They also touch on Akron's quarterback eligibility mess ahead of the Robert Morris game and set up a preview of last night's college football action heading into the Daryl Ruiter segment.
Robert Morris wide receiver Galen Combs joins the podcast this week! The sophomore recorded three total touchdowns, including a blocked punt return for a touchdown, in the Colonials' 28-7 win over Wagner last Saturday.

In the first of three USCHO Weekend Review Offseason episodes, Ed Trefzger, Jim Connelly and Robert Morris coach Derek Schooley begin with the serious medical situation involving Arizona State defenseman Matthew Mayich.Mayich was hospitalized after collapsing during an outdoor team workout in August. The panel discusses the circumstances surrounding the workout, the questions facing Arizona State and the broader responsibilities schools have for athlete safety, oversight and accountability.The conversation then turns to a series of major changes affecting NCAA hockey:• How the NCAA's governance restructuring gives hockey greater authority over sport-specific decisions• Why Division I men's and women's hockey can now take different approaches to playing rules• New rules and safety measures entering the college game• The temporary waiver allowing additional institutional staff members to provide technical and tactical instruction• Whether expanded player-development staffs will create a competitive arms race• The push toward a longer college hockey schedule—and why a 40-game maximum has not yet been approvedThe episode examines how these developments fit together and whether college hockey is beginning to govern itself with more independence than ever before.Recorded September 2, 2026. The Matthew Mayich discussion reflects information publicly available at the time of recording.Find all of our podcasts at USCHO.com/podcasts
Joseph Ellis, Part Two: Ellis covers the war's transition into a global conflict focused heavily on the Caribbean sugar islands. He examines Britain's Southern Strategy, the "dirty war" that devastated the Iroquois confederation, and Cornwallis's entrapment at Yorktown due to French naval intervention. Highlighting crucial post-war moments, Ellis covers Washington's rejection of a military dictatorship at Newburgh, John Jay's "rogue diplomacy" securing the Mississippi border, and financier Robert Morris personally funding soldiers' checks. The discussion ends with the weak Confederation's tragic failure to protect Native American rights or set slavery on a path to extinction. (2)

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima dig into Akron football's contest letting a season-ticket-holder call the team's first offensive series against Robert Morris, questioning whether the process was rigged after Barstool's Dan "Big Cat" Katz emerged as a finalist by reportedly buying up to 18 season-ticket entries himself. They run through the full list of finalists, debate whether Akron athletics actually swore off any rigging, and riff on the absurd logistics of what happens if the play call flops or the coach gets ejected before the opening drive even finishes.
With a new partnership with Robert Morris in place that includes the first-ever logo patch on a Horizon League uniform, Bob talks with content creator Cullen Honohan, the man behind the team of All Hail. They talk about All Hail's origins, the details of the partnership with RMU, and...Manute Bol's real age?
He was the richest man in America, and for most of the Revolution he was also its treasury. When the United States had no money and no credit, it borrowed on the name of Robert Morris — a Philadelphia merchant who put his own fortune and signature behind a bankrupt government, kept General Washington's army fed, and personally financed the campaign that won the war at Yorktown. This is the story of the Financier of the Revolution: the reluctant patriot who voted against independence and then signed it, the pragmatist and money-chaser who saved the country and grew rich doing it, the man who tried to build a real government out of nothing — the first national bank, the paper notes backed by his own name, the tax that could have funded it all — and who finally resigned in despair because no amount of one man's credit could fix a government too weak to fund itself. And it is the story of how that same name, the strongest credit in America, would carry him all the way to a debtor's prison. He floated a nation. It did not float him.
Ken and Anthony run through Lima Likes with John filling in, covering the Guardians' bullpen meltdown and Jose Ramirez's injury-plagued "lost season" that still might produce solid numbers, plus a recap of the station's charity softball night in Canton highlighting Anthony's surprisingly hard fastball. They rip Robert Morris fans reportedly buying up Akron Zips season tickets to sabotage a raffle promotion, then dig into Hall of Fame weekend, including Pat McAfee's awkward speech line about his wife and the snub of Bill Belichick.
The Akron Zips are running a promotion where they will let a fan call a play during their game against Robert Morris! The Junks are all in on this...but they GOTTA rig it to get someone fun in there! (Like, say, Barstool's Big Cat...)
Akron head coach Joe Moorhead joins Ken and Anthony to explain the viral season-ticket promotion letting one lucky fan help script the Zips' opening drive against Robert Morris, admitting he thought it was ridiculous at first before buying in once he saw the potential exposure and revenue for a program with the lowest operating budget in FBS football. Moorhead insists it will be a true collaboration rather than a gimmick, walking through how he builds his actual game plan and stressing he addressed it with players immediately so it wouldn't undercut the team's focus. He also admits he'd feel differently if he weren't the primary play-caller himself, which helps ease some of Ken's skepticism. By the end of the interview, Ken concedes Moorhead fully won him over on a promotion he walked in ready to rip apart.
Tim Schneider shares his take of the day. What are the Akron Zips offering their fans? Gene also offers up shots... Purdue AD Tommy McClenahan said what?!? Plus how do we feel about NY Mets pitcher s. Jefry Yan & his strike-out celebration?
Full Show Broadcast. Guess who was back at Bills practice today? Ian Mills from News 10 NBC Sports & Joe Marino from the Locked On Bills podcasts joined Gene to cover everything from Bills camp. Plus we have Tim's take, shots with sports headlines & last call.
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to Akron Football's viral promotion that gives one season-ticket holder the chance to help script the team's opening drive against Robert Morris. While Lima views it as a creative way for a MAC program to generate buzz and engage fans, Carman argues it diminishes the work of coaches and highlights the growing challenges facing non-Power Four football programs. The conversation expands into a broader discussion about the future of the MAC, the widening gap in college football, and what smaller schools must do to stay relevant in the NIL and superconference era. What starts as a quirky promotion quickly turns into a passionate debate about respectability, survival, and the state of college football's middle class.
Is Marcell Ozuna the worst free agent signing in Pittsburgh sports history? Mullsy thinks Derek Bell was a worse signing, but Ozuna is definitely up there somewhere. Poni thinks that there is definitely an argument to be made that Ozuna is the worst one. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi says that she has heard from people that Will Howard has looked good in camp. She also says that it won't be clear if Drew Allar or Will Howard has pulled away from the other as we do not know what is being asked of either one of them by the coaching staff. Aditi thought that the Zay Flowers contract was kind of wild, and it is crazy that he is getting paid so much more than Bijan Robinson. Donny Football Debrief – Akron football is allowing a fan to script the opening drive for their home opener against Robert Morris. The guys think this is disrespectful to Robert Morris.

Utah State head coach Wes Brooks shares insights on his challenges and solutions. Learn more about his journey from assistant coach to head coach, sharing his approach to rebuilding the Utah State program after two challenging seasons. He explained his offensive philosophy centered on "fist and flash" gameplay, spacing concepts (single, double, triple), and teaching players to read defenses rather than running specific plays.Wes detailed how he's implemented this system over four weeks of summer practice, emphasizing the importance of spacing, player development, and mental performance coaching. He discussed the psychology of coaching through challenges, the importance of resources and priorities, and his vision for building a championship program in the new Pac-12 conference.Brooks brings 20 years of collegiate experience with him to Utah State, most recently serving as an assistant coach at Ohio State. He previously worked as an assistant at Michigan, Utah, North Texas, Texas Southern and Robert Morris, and as a graduate assistant and director of basketball operations at West Virginia. In all, he has helped 11 teams to postseason berths with eight NCAA Tournament appearances, including in each of the past six years.
Ryan Horn has spent 20 years building strength programs, and almost none of that time has looked stable from the outside. Horn's path runs through Robert Morris, Virginia Commonwealth (where he became the school's first full-time strength coach), Tulsa, and seven years at Wake Forest under Danny Manning. After being let go from Wake Forest following COVID, Horn spent two years outside college athletics entirely, training soldiers with the 75th Ranger Regiment in Savannah, Georgia. From there it was Wichita State, Drake, a return home to West Virginia, and now Indiana.Horn and host Connor Agnew dig into what that kind of instability actually teaches a coach. Horn's answer keeps coming back to one idea: stop chasing permanence and start chasing presence. Roles end. Jobs change. What matters is whether you were fully in it while you had it. He connects this directly to mentorship, arguing that a good mentor's job gets harder, not easier, because they take the time to teach instead of just execute. And he's candid about the trap of comparing career timelines on social media, pointing out that the context and luck behind someone else's fast rise almost never makes it into the post.The conversation closes on family. Horn's son is now an Olympic weightlifter who interns under him at Indiana, and Horn talks openly about what it's meant to coach alongside his own kid, and about how losing both his parents in recent years reshaped how he thinks about time with the athletes and people in front of him right now.KEY TAKEAWAYS- Seek presence and impact in a role, not permanence. Every job has an expiration date, and treating it otherwise costs you the time you actually have in it.- A real mentor's job gets harder, not easier, because they take the time to teach instead of just execute.- Comparing your career timeline to someone else's on social media ignores the context and luck behind their path.- Avoid becoming the coach who dismisses a new idea because "we did that 20 years ago." Curiosity is the job, not a phase of it.- Losing both parents reshaped how Horn thinks about finite time with his family and his athletes.QUOTE BLOCK"There's no permanence in any role. It's just presence."- Ryan Horn, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Indiana University

When the national debt passes $39 trillion and a political class treats borrowed money as free, America has forgotten what its most-forgotten Founder knew in his bones: freedom isn't free. Robert Morris financed the Revolution, bet the largest fortune in America on a country that didn't yet exist, and then paid his debts in prison instead of asking for a handout. While Morris once staked everything on America's future, today we're mortgaging our future to pay for our present. - - - Today's Sponsor: PureTalk - Go to https://PureTalk.com/SHAPIRO to switch to the only wireless company awarded five stars in every category by Consumer Reports. - - - Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://dwplus.watch/BenShapiroMemberExclusive - - - DailyWire+: Become a Daily Wire Member and watch all of our content ad-free: https://www.dailywire.com/subscribe
In this episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, guest host Dean Karayanis rings in the start of America's second 250 years with an unapologetically optimistic look at the nation's future. Drawing inspiration from his three decades working with Rush Limbaugh, Dean challenges the prevailing negativity and historical revisionism seen on social media. He dives deep into primary historical sources to bring to life the real, human stories of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence, recounting the immense personal sacrifices, financial ruin, and physical brilliance of patriots like Robert Morris, Richard Stockton, and Abraham Clark. Along the way, Dean dissects the media's obsession with climate alarmism, contrasts the raw authenticity of figures like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton against modern political standards, and reviews the film “Young Washington,” reminding listeners that true leadership is forged through perseverance, learning from failure, and an unyielding commitment to liberty.
On America 250/Semiquincentennial, learn why understanding the Declaration of Independence is important, especially in these tumultuous times when patriotism is at an all-time low. Discover why the Second Continental Congress decided to have a Declaration of Independence and how a committee of five of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston were chosen to draft it. Explore why John Adams insisted that Thomas Jefferson draft it, and how the Committee and the Second Continental Congress changed Jefferson's draft. Hear the entire Declaration of Independence, the most profound words written in the English language that were approved by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.Most Americans have never read the entire Declaration of Independence and have a elementary grade level understanding of it. Most remember the soaring words of the second paragraph (“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among the are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”), and maybe the last clause (“we mutually pledge our to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor”), and have not reviewed in any detail the remainder of the 1320 words. The rest is not just taxation without representation. There were 27 grievances listed by the Founding Fathers, of which taxation without representation is but one.

To mark the 250th anniversary of Independence Day this week, this classic replay episode of the ABA Banking Journal — sponsored by Q2 Software — explores the role of banking and finance in the American Revolution and the founding era. John Steele Gordon is an acclaimed economic historian whose books include Hamilton's Blessing, The Great Game and An Empire of Wealth; he is also the ABA Banking Journal's "From the Vault" columnist. In this episode, Gordon discusses: How not having any chartered banks prior to 1782 put the United States at a disadvantage during the Revolution. Conversely, how the Bank of England was a "secret weapon" for Britain during the war. The role of patriotic financiers like Robert Morris in achieving U.S. victory. The debates over a central bank in the post-revolutionary period and how they contributed to the development of the Constitution.
Declaring independence on July 2, 1776 was only the beginning. To actually become a nation, the United States needed something else: foreign allies, international recognition, and the credibility to negotiate as an equal among the world's great powers. Five days after Richard Henry Lee introduced his famous Virginia Resolution, the Continental Congress appointed a committee of five — John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Dickinson, Robert Morris, and Benjamin Harrison — to figure out how to achieve international recognition. The result was the Model Treaty: a document we almost never discuss today, but one that Adams considered his most important contribution to Congress and the nation. Historians Sara Georgini and Eliga Gould guide us through Adams's revolutionary blueprint for American foreign policy and how the founders understood that the United States would need to become a "treaty worthy" nation before France would take them seriously.

Benjamin L. Carp describes the fierce information war that followed the fire as both sides vied for public and international opinion. Figures like Benjamin Franklin and Robert Morris worked to protect the American reputation by insisting the fire was accidental. Conversely, the British used local newspapers to brand the rebels as arsonists and criminals. Curiously, formal correspondence between Generals Washington and Howe largely avoided the topic of the fire. This silence may reflect a "gentlemanly" code of the era, where neither commander wished to level such grave accusations without irrefutable proof, despite the ongoing propaganda battle. (6)1776

This is an excerpt from Chapter 5 of “Biblical & Social Justice: What Is It?,” entitled “A Nation Founded on Christian Principles?” Listening to the stories of Christian nationalists, one might become persuaded that the United States descended from heaven. Any assertion that the United States was founded on Biblical and Christian principles must also concede that slavery was part and parcel of an unbiblical and unChristian version of so-called Biblical and Christian principles. It is not necessary to attribute the founding of the nation to the Bible or an organized Christian effort. Any review of the actual history of the founding of the United States, absent spiritualized narratives, shows that highly educated and brilliant men were responsible for debating, working, and creating the founding philosophies and documents. All the Framers were informed by their education, experiences, and faith. They were also informed by selfish motivations and economic interests. It is noteworthy that the Framers decided not to include Scripture in the founding documents. This is consistent with their objective to avoid creating a nation controlled by the church or by religion. Below is a summary of the Framers: Almost all of the 55 Framers had taken part in the Revolution, with at least 29 having served in the Continental forces, most in positions of command. All but two or three had served in colonial or state government during their careers. The vast majority (about 75%) of the delegates were or had been members of the Confederation Congress, and many had been members of the Continental Congress during the Revolution. 25 had been state governors. More than half of the delegates had trained as lawyers (several had even been judges), although only about a quarter had practiced law as their principal means of business. Others were merchants, manufacturers, shippers, land speculators, bankers, or financiers. Several were physicians or small farmers, and one was a minister. Of the 25 who owned fellow humans, 16 depended on slave labor to run the plantations or other businesses that formed the mainstay of their income. Most of the delegates were landowners with substantial holdings, and most, except for Roger Sherman and William Few, were very comfortably wealthy. George Washington and Robert Morris were among the wealthiest men in the entire country. Much of that wealth was built through the unpaid labor of enslaved persons. Of the 55 Framers, only one was a Christian minister. Regarding the religious faith of the Framers: Of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, 28 were Anglicans, 21 were other Protestants, and two were Roman Catholics (D. Carroll and Fitzsimons). Among the Protestant delegates to the Constitutional Convention, eight were Presbyterians, seven were Congregationalists, two were Lutherans, two were Dutch Reformed, and two were Methodists. A few prominent Founding Fathers were anti-clerical notably Jefferson. It is a reach of imagination and romanticism to believe the 55 Framers acted as a group of Christians in consultation with the Scriptures and prayer. The work of the Framers, as is the case with most good work, owes to the skill of the persons working, whether Christian or non-Christian. One very significant factor argues against the rosy Christian nationalist perspective about our nation's founding: SLAVERY. For many of us, celebrating our nation's founding as a triumph of the Bible and Christianity is offensive given the treatment and property status of our ancestors. To be sure, the formation of the United States, developing the governing documents, and organizing independent colonies was a triumph of human enterprise and self-governing. The telling of history cannot overlook owning, selling, and abusing humans in the service of other humans used to build their economy, was decidedly ungodly. It was not something Jesus would have done. The historic facts regarding the formation of the nation are compelling reading without the hyperbole of a Christian nationalist narrative. The facts are far more interesting than the fabrications. -

Tara and Lee break down AOC's controversial history comments, escalating rhetoric online, and growing concerns over Iran and global instability. HOOK Did the American Revolution happen because Americans hated “billionaires”? Tara says Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just rewrote American history — and the fallout is exploding online. DESCRIPTION Today's AMPERWAVE DAILY dives into a firestorm surrounding comments from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about the American Revolution and wealth in early America. Tara and Lee push back on claims that the Revolution was fundamentally a revolt against “billionaires,” pointing instead to figures like George Washington and financier Robert Morris, both wealthy supporters of independence. The conversation then shifts into growing concern over increasingly extreme political rhetoric online, including social media trends that critics say flirt with calls for political violence against Donald Trump. Tara and Lee examine the broader climate surrounding political anger, online radicalization, and reactions to former FBI Director James Comey. Later in the show, the hosts discuss escalating tensions involving Iran, attacks on shipping routes and U.S. interests in the Middle East, and frustrations among Trump supporters over foreign policy decisions and military responses.

We all know about the perverse and repulsive behavior of the liberal-Biden administration, especially their seeming interest in exploiting children. However the saviors of the youth, MAGA Republicans, are not much better. They may even be worse. The Trump administration has actively protected sexual deviants in the name of exposing them. Data from the FBI and DOJ indicates that operations to save children under both of the recent White House administrations were standard procedure, and yet the Biden team actually prosecuted more people and saved more children according to the numbers. From Craig Long, Robert Morris and Rj May to Pete Hegseth, Linda McMahon, Laura Loomer, and Steve Bannon to the President himself, the entire MAGA movement is filled with some of the lowest life in the country -- nothing short of the Biden or Obama administrations, or Bush and Clinton. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

A pastor in Oklahoma. The Boy Scouts of America. Epstein's island. Three scandals, the same attorneys, banks, and insurance companies — hiding in plain sight. In this episode highlight of Cut to the Chase: with Gregg Goldfarb, South Florida mass tort attorney Gregg Goldfarb sits down with trial attorney Jason Joy and survivor advocate Curtis Garrison to expose the disturbing pattern connecting America's biggest institutional abuse cases, and why survivor justice keeps getting derailed before it ever reaches a courtroom.

Bill hosts historian Rick Atkinson, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of a WWII trilogy and a new American Revolution trilogy, with two volumes out (The British Are Coming and The Fate of the Day) and a third he hopes to finish by 2031. Atkinson describes his archival research approach and argues the Revolution became an eight-year global war and an American civil war, turning especially brutal in the South. He highlights key turning points including Trenton/Princeton, Saratoga's role in bringing decisive French alliance, and French indispensability at Yorktown. He assesses Washington's early missteps and growth, Benedict Arnold's battlefield brilliance and festering grievances, Robert Morris's critical wartime financing, and women's essential roles. He discusses enslaved and Indigenous peoples' tragic outcomes, black participation on both sides, and concludes the Revolution's democratic aspirations remain unfinished and must be renewed to prevent future tyrannies.
