W. Fitzhugh Brundage, author of A Fate Worse Than Hell: American Prisoners of the Civil War, Part One: The narrative begins with the January 1863 capture of the Union gunboat Isaac Smith and three Black sailors. The Confederacy's refusal to exchange these Black captives, coupled with the Lincoln administration's retaliation, triggered the collapse of the systematic prisoner exchange system under the 1862 Dix-Hill Cartel. Consequently, both sides had to manage massive, long-term prison populations. The book examines the key military figures overseeing these networks: the Confederate martinet John Winder, who turned Richmond's tobacco warehouses like Libby Prison into harsh detention hubs, and the Union's budget-conscious bureaucrat William Hoffman. Finally, Brundage explains the Lieber Code's role in defining humane warfare, noting how its "military necessity" clause compromised prisoner treatment. (1)

The San Diego-based naval carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed to the Middle East to support Iran war operations for nearly nine months. The ship has not stopped at port since December 2025, setting a record for the most consecutive days at sea without a port call. Sailors aboard the Lincoln and their families are now sounding the alarm, reporting food shortages, sanitation issues and deteriorating mental health among personnel. One crew member was rescued after going overboard. We look at what the Lincoln's historic deployment reveals about the demands of the war in Iran — and the military's ability to protect service members. Learn more about your ad choices.

The crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln have been at sea for over nine months without docking for a port call. Sailors are reporting grimy conditions, rotting food, and deteriorating mental health. Some have even allegedly taken to trying to throw themselves overboard. President Trump is dismissing the concerns - saying the deployment is "not nearly long enough". Families are urging him to take some accountability and respect Navy staff. Why is the Trump administration now facing a battle with its own military?Later, another surprise DSA win in Florida left one of Trump's first term foes on the political scrapheap - and why Trump keeps getting so tetchy at the mention of Natalie Harp.With Miles Taylor.The News Agents USA is a Global Production.The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

Multiple sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have reportedly attempted to jump overboard amid severe mental stress, food shortages, and inadequate basic supplies after more than 250 consecutive days at sea. In this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight allegations from sailors and their families about deteriorating conditions across multiple Navy and Marine Corps ships, including shortages of fresh food, toiletries, laundry facilities, and other necessities.  The two also contrast those conditions with Pentagon spending, including millions of dollars on lobster, ribeye steaks, king crab, and other expenses under the military's "use it or lose it" budgeting practice. The commentary argues that the disparity reflects serious leadership and resource-allocation problems within the U.S. military, particularly as service members endure unusually long deployments. Plus segments on Bibi Netanyahu revealing that Israel's war is with Christianity and the West, TPUSA Pastor Rob McCoy caught lying about the rooftop shooter and recent reports of San Francisco cops' outrageous salaries. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! Plus a phone call from James Carville!

Today's Headlines: Todd Blanche went on Meet the Press and admitted he cannot pledge DOJ independence from the White House, and that the DOJ may ask the Supreme Court to intervene in 22 cases where judges blocked Trump's election interference efforts — specifically the administration's attempt to get voter rolls including names, addresses, and partial social security numbers from 30 states and DC. Trump also asked the Supreme Court to let him finish the $900 million White House renovation after courts ordered construction to stop by August 21st, now openly calling it a "national security structure" and "military complex" rather than a ballroom, posting an AI-generated video of himself consulting AI George Washington about the design, and accusing the people who sued him of treason for "revealing top military secrets" — about a ballroom. He also wants to redesign the entire Navy aircraft carrier fleet to look like World War 2 ships at $22 billion each. Meanwhile, families of sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln spoke to the Guardian describing relatives who lost 20-30 pounds, no clean drinking water, sparse food, and a five-week wait to see the ship's only psychiatrist — and when Trump was asked if the sailors had been deployed too long, he said they hadn't been deployed long enough. A detail the administration has not been eager to divulge is that Iran destroyed the Bahrain port where US Navy ships would normally dock, so every American warship in the region has nowhere to resupply. Trump also reduced joint military exercises with South Korea to please Kim Jong Un, posting a throwback photo of the two of them and noting they have "many where we're smiling" — sure, Donald. Jared Kushner met with Hamas in Egypt where they reaffirmed their commitment to disarming, which Netanyahu doesn't believe. In other news, Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to two federal stalking charges and his lawyers are using the plea to argue double jeopardy on state charges, while his New York murder trial still starts next month. And finally,  Lake Mead and Lake Powell — the two largest reservoirs supplying water to seven western states — hit their lowest levels in seven decades, because July was the hottest month on record and winter was the driest.

Captain Stacy Wuthier, Commanding Officer of Naval Station Everett, joins Damo for a conversation about the Green Ribbon Program and how commands can create stronger support networks for Sailors. Captain Wuthier shares her journey from enlisting in the Navy and entering the nuclear power pipeline to earning her commission, serving aboard ships, commanding USS Jackson Blue Crew, and eventually taking command of Naval Station Everett. She and Damo discuss installation leadership, relying on subject matter experts, verifying information, and maintaining standards while leading organizations with multiple programs and responsibilities. The conversation shifts to the Green Ribbon Program, why Captain Wuthier brought it to Naval Station Everett, and the problems it is designed to address. She explains how Green Ribbon representatives are selected and trained, the role of the command chaplain, why junior Sailors and civilians can be valuable participants, and why representatives must genuinely want to help people rather than participate for recognition or evaluation purposes. Damo and Captain Wuthier discuss the Navy's tendency to tell Sailors to ask for help while placing most of the responsibility on the Sailor to initiate the conversation. They talk about recognizing when someone may be struggling, creating additional avenues for Sailors to seek support, confidentiality, knowing when a problem requires professional assistance, and why Green Ribbon representatives are connectors to resources rather than counselors. They also discuss how Green Ribbon complements deckplate leadership, what success looks like when measuring prevention and connectedness, taking care of those who consistently help others, and why Captain Wuthier believes commands should never mandate participation in the program. The discussion expands into the difference between creating another Navy program and building something that becomes part of a command's culture. Later, Captain Wuthier shares some of the books that have influenced her leadership and discusses imposter syndrome, confidence, and lifelong learning. For the Do Better segment, she talks about becoming a better listener and being more present during conversations. Damo shares a recent experience that reminded him that solving a Sailor's problem and making sure the Sailor feels heard are not always the same thing. Before closing, Captain Wuthier reflects on her approaching retirement and answers what Navy memory she would keep if she could only keep one.       Do you have “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

Sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have been stuck at sea for more than 260 days, families are sounding the alarm, and multiple sailors have attempted to go overboard. Pete Hegseth’s response? Everything’s basically fine. Steve Schmidt and Dean Blundell are here to talk about the sailors being pushed to the edge, while Hegseth gets jittery and the administration looks the other way. Plus: Mike Lindell lost another election and, shockingly, refuses to admit it; DHS is spying on Americans while fighting over grounded planes; Karoline Leavitt called it quits two days after getting stranded on the doomed plane; and "Donald Trump Hates You" is officially in the skies, being towed behind a plane up & down the Florida Panhandle all weekend long — and there’s much more to come.

What happens on a Saturday night when we're bored with nothing to do? We go live. Damo and Aaron are joined on IG Live by recent guest OSCS William Morris and one of the show's OG guests, ABCM (Ret.) Alquin Parker, host of the “Legendary Moments” podcast. The conversation goes everywhere. Mo checks Damo for allegedly faking being sick to get out of recording a podcast, and the guys talk about the daily grind of a Sailor in the United States Navy Ceremonial Guard. Alquin Parker pops in and asks about the recruiting process for the Ceremonial Guard, while the crew reflects on Mo's recent episode of PTSF and whether he plans to stay in Japan after retirement. Damo questions social media “stitch culture” and the dangers of publicly airing people out online, giving listeners a preview of a conversation coming on a future episode. AP tells the story of correcting someone's uniform in the supermarket. Damo somehow ends up having to talk to one of his Sailors about using his picture as their profile photo. The guys also discuss how COVID changed communication, connection, and fellowship. Those conversations, plenty of randomness, and much more happened during this live edition of “Permission To Speak Freely.”   Check out 'AP' on "Legendary Moments podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcast, Spotify and more... https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/legendary-moments/id1881213522 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2IsY1P0MZKfqCoYSRmUal1DUQOqk1dRE https://open.spotify.com/show/1p2XOMIbxKT00wAHRf1EMi?si=cN9BY7-oRHS0WojEfGv2tw&nd=1&dlsi=7ff5bac2812e41be https://www.instagram.com/legendarymomentspod/     Do you have “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

Then her partner wakes to a dark figure on the end of the bed, back turned. Not frightening, just sad.Then Danielle's family home in Savannah always "had company," as her grandmother put it. A porch rocking chair that moves on windless nights. An old hymn hummed right beside her in an empty hallway. And the week of the funeral, the chair started up again.Producer Dom unpacks the darker folklore: the drowned "unhoused" who don't know they've died, and the low-country "kept" spirit - a guardian named and passed down mother to daughter.What happens when the house wasn't what your grandmother left you… but the company inside it?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Jacob Saylors seized a roster-opening opportunity for the Detroit Lions, delivering fresh legs, clean routes, and hands that produced a team-high receiving output in Thursday's wet preseason loss at Cincinnati. His all-around day put him squarely in the 53-man conversation and reset the running back depth picture heading into Washington week. Can Jacob Saylors make the 53-man roster? Yes, Lions running back Jacob Saylors pushed himself into the real roster mix with a complete performance. He looked rested and explosive, processed quickly, and caught the ball naturally, finishing as Detroit's leading receiver on the night. As Jeff Risdon noted, Sailors showed the fresh-body benefit after having true recovery time since last year. The staff wants backs who trigger fast and finish, and Sailors checked those boxes. His vision and reaction stood out in the quick game and he added value in the passing attack, a critical separator for back-end roster roles. Is Isaac TeSlaa in trouble after the early turnover? No, Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa is not in danger of being cut, but he must clean up technique and urgency. He had the early-tip turnover on a ball that hit both hands and later lost a contested catch by failing to separate and secure through contact. Coaches need quicker wins off the line and faster catch-to-tuck transitions on shorter concepts. Expect Detroit to feed TeSlaa targets this week in practice and in the preseason game against the Washington Commanders to rebuild confidence and trust. What did we learn about Luke Altmyer and the offensive plan? Lions quarterback Luke Altmyer earned stock up by executing the quick-game emphasis. Detroit instructed him to get the ball out on time to his first read, and he did, which capped downfield shot volume. The wet-ball turnover appeared more like a lost handle than a designed pitch, as Jeff Risdon observed after rewatching. The takeaway is clarity, not concern: the operation prioritized rhythm, timing, and ball security in difficult rain conditions, and Altmyer delivered a steady night within that plan. Which defenders helped, and who hurt, their roster cases? Lions defensive tackle Skyler Gill-Howard, wearing number 50, stacked a strong week by translating his first-step wins into real disruption. When he wins immediately, he is a problem. Lions defensive lineman Ben Stille, number 78, also earned stock up with a pressure, sturdy run fits, and forcing cutbacks. Lions linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga, number 57, flashed stout build and anticipatory coverage beyond a special teams profile. Edge rushers on opposite tracks Lions edge rusher Eric O'Neil, 25 years old, strung together a sack, another QB hit that forced a throwaway, and a useful special teams rep. He profiles as a practice-squad keep if the numbers squeeze, but his pass-rush efficiency is real. Conversely, Lions defensive end Anthony Lucas stayed blocked too often and lacked effective counters after initial engagement. Secondary notes to watch Lions cornerback Roger McCreery answered with sharp leverage and run support, then finished late with Lions cornerback Keith Abney in the slot while McCreery played outside. That usage hints at how Detroit is sorting their inside-out roles. Who took a step back? Lions safety Dan Jackson must stop diving at feet in space, and Lions safety Loren Strickland did not help his case either. Lions linebacker Troy Reeder had an anonymous outing at Mike. On the line, Lions offensive lineman Miles Frazier struggled at right guard and later at left tackle with stiff, slow sets. Reps could reshuffle when the staff balances work for veterans like Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and DJ Wanham in practice. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jacobsaylors #isaacteslaa #lukealtmyer #skylergill-howard #anthonylucas #erico'neil #benstille #manuogbongbemiga #troyreeder #milesfrazier #rogermccreery #keithabney #aidanhutchinson #washingtoncommanders #cincinnatibengals Learn more about your ad choices.

Bernie Sanders' AI letter: A bankrupt appeal to the oligarchs / Johannes Stern on RT: Bogdan Syrotiuk convicted “for socialist thoughts” / Sailor jumps overboard in suicide attempt on USS Abraham Lincoln

On this episode of America Unplugged, Billy Ray Valentine, Donald Jeffries and Tony Arterburn unpack the USS Abraham Lincoln crisis — reports of sailor suicides, desperate conditions, and stretched deployments — and examine how leadership and resource shortfalls are affecting servicemembers. The hosts also break down the economic fallout: soaring gas prices, historic presidential disapproval on fuel, concerns about missile and drone shortages, and a covert U.S.–Japan currency intervention that highlights global financial strain. Finally they discuss the political and cultural landscape — cult-like political loyalty, the risk of escalation abroad, worries over an AI market bubble, and upcoming Guerrilla Underground coverage.

It's Casual Friday on The Majority Report On today's program: Conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln have deteriorated to the point that servicemembers are attempting to jump overboard. Food is rotting, hygiene supplies are depleted and morale is very low. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, on CNN, makes a plea to Secretary of War Pete Hegeseth to do his job and fix this horrible situation on the USS Lincoln. Hegseth denies the reporting on the conditions and thinks he can placate servicemembers by spewing effusive nonsense. Jeet Heer, national affairs correspondent at The Nation and host of The Time of Monsters Podcast, joins the program to recap the week's news. Topics include Tuesday's primaries, the media's Hasan Piker obsession, inflation, midterm elections and more.

Today's Headlines: The USS Abraham Lincoln is being replaced by the USS George Washington after reporting that sailors who had been at sea for over 250 days without disembarking attempted to take their own lives — Hegseth insists the conditions are being "completely misrepresented," Democrats in Congress are demanding answers, and the Pentagon quietly swapping out the carrier while denying there's a problem is its own kind of answer. Meanwhile, US intelligence officials were actually fairly skeptical about the credibility of the Iran assassination threat that sent Trump fleeing Air Force One in a catering truck, and it was relayed to the CIA by the Israeli government — with some suggesting it was designed to pressure Trump into restarting the war. In Trump drama news, The Kennedy Center's board voted to defy a federal court order and restore Trump's name to the facade — now reading "The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump" — before closing for two years of renovations, because nothing says respect for the arts like slapping your name on a building and then shutting it down. A federal judge dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit against Harvard over alleged antisemitism on campus, calling the cases "too isolated and episodic" to prove a civil rights violation, and the DOJ is already assessing next steps. And finally, Luigi Mangione is expected to appear in federal court today to potentially plead guilty to federal charges, while his state murder trial is still set for September 8th — and if he pleads guilty federally, his attorneys could argue double jeopardy to get the state charges dismissed.

A disturbing report is coming from the USS Abraham Lincoln, now in its 9 month of deployment in the Middle East. Family members are demanding answers and action from the U.S. military after hearing from their loved ones that either they have attempted to jump overboard or have stopped other service members from doing so in recent weeks. There are reports of deteriorating conditions, from lack of food and hygiene supplies, to no hot water aboard the aircraft carrier, but this biggest issue is the delayed and open ended deployment that was supposed to end back in May. The Navy has denied there is an increase in reported suicidal ideation and that while supply hubs have been disrupted by combat, sailors aboard the ship have plenty of supplies and mental health support.

Today's Headlines: Karoline Leavitt is leaving her job as White House Press Secretary at the end of August, officially to spend more time with her family, though the timing — coming weeks after her boss used the press corps as an Iran assassination decoy — raises some questions. On the never-ending reflecting pool drama, Jeanine Pirro convened a rare special grand jury to investigate the reflecting pool vandalism case, even after admitting there's no case against the former Olympian they arrested. Meanwhile, cyberattacks have hit water systems in 12 states over the past few years, with 30 Minnesota systems targeted last month alone, and what remains of US cyber intelligence confirmed Iran did it — but Trump is blaming Tim Walz, because of course he is. In other news, multiple US Navy sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln have attempted to jump overboard during a record 250-consecutive-day deployment with severe shortages of soap, toothpaste, hot water, food, and toilet paper, and Pete Hegseth — who built himself a personal salon at the Pentagon — called their accounts "fake news." Josh Kushner and Bob Iger are buying the Los Angeles Lakers for a record $12.5 billion, pending NBA board approval, from an insurance billionaire currently under investigation, so something is sus about this one. In primary results, DSA candidate Francesca Hong lost the Wisconsin governor's Democratic primary to David Crowley — who had dropped out and then re-entered after Tony Evers panicked — Mike Lindell lost the Minnesota Republican governor primary and is claiming voter fraud, and Lindsey Graham's sister Darlindsey fell short of 50% in South Carolina heading to a runoff against congressman Ralph Norman on August 25th.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show covered a mix of major headlines, entertainment drama, and trending conversations, led by the news that NBA legend Russell Westbrook has officially retired after 18 seasons. Westbrook leaves the game as the league’s all-time leader in triple-doubles with 209 and a 2017 MVP award, capping one of the most accomplished careers in modern basketball. The crew also discussed Beyoncé’s latest legal challenge, as the superstar faces a renewed copyright infringement lawsuit over Alien Superstar from her Renaissance album. Plaintiffs claim the song’s spoken-word intro sampled the 1998 track “Moonraker” without proper authorization before the album’s release. Meanwhile, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Shamea Morton addressed criticism surrounding her time on the show, making it clear she has no plans to give up her peach despite online backlash and teasing that tensions with a castmate nearly turned physical during the season reunion. The show also highlighted growing concerns surrounding the USS Abraham Lincoln, where reports indicate multiple sailors have attempted to jump overboard during an extended deployment that has stretched more than eight months. Family members and military advocates have raised alarms about morale, exhaustion, and mental health challenges affecting the crew. Elsewhere, the hosts reacted to Megan Thee Stallion’s appearance on Michelle Obama’s podcast, where she discussed journaling, personal growth, and the pressures of modern fame. Listeners were also treated to celebrity updates involving Tiffany Haddish resolving her long-running Georgia driving case, Drake sharing his perspective on generosity versus “tricking,” and a spirited conversation about relationship drama as callers revealed the wildest things they’ve done after heartbreak.

Jeremy Zakis, Part Two: Zakis joins John Batchelor to explore accounts of animal mischief and human deception. Two beagle puppies, Jada and Scooter, consumed 2.4 pounds of gummy snakes after breaking into a pantry in Queensland; while Scooter was the primary culprit and required veterinary intervention, both survived. Other dogs, such as spaniels Charlie and Sailor, have learned to intercept Amazon and UPS delivery packages to steal snack cookies and cooked knuckles, acting like "jewel thieves," while the spoodle Dallas previously learned to smash plastic containers off shelves at specific angles to pop the lids and access treats. In New South Wales, cockatoos are described as "vandals of the sky" for systematically destroying birdhouses and stripping materials from roofs; while Dallas is territorial and keeps them off his property, he maintains a "best friends" relationship with the local magpies, allowing them to feed in the yard. Finally, Zakis examines "Clickgate," a scandal in English cricket following a July 25th match between Saltburn and Norton in North Yorkshire: a fielder was caught on camera clicking his fingers at the exact moment a ball passed a batter, mimicking the sound of ball hitting bat—the cue umpires rely on for "caught behind" calls. This "sneaky underhanded tactic" resulted in the batter being wrongly called out, ultimately costing his team the game. (2)
