Broadcast from Île de Ré, we dive into France's mounting fiscal mess and political paralysis. With Macron a lame-duck, bond markets charging Paris more than Athens, and a nationwide strike looming, we ask: could Europe's cornerstone become its weakest link? We unpack France's towering state-and-semi-state debts, why Japan can print and Paris can't, the ECB's “will they/won't they” backstop if Le Pen takes power, and how a sovereignist turn could trigger a rewrite of France's constitution, goodbye Fifth Republic, hello Sixth. Along the way: Anglo-Saxon doom-mongering, De Gaulle's Jupiterian legacy, contagion math, and why life in “paradise” can still feel like purgatory. Big stakes, bigger history, and a very French cliff-hanger. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this episode I speak about the main sins against the Sixth and Ninth Commandments (“You shall not commit adultery” and “You shall not covet your neighbor's wife”) indicating in what ways and to what extent they go against the dignity of the human person, against marriage and society. ----- - You can find these topics in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, numbers 2351 to 2400 and 2514 to 2527. - Fr.

This Virgo season, what if instead of adding more to your to-do list, you focused on contribution? In this astrology for entrepreneurs episode, I'm breaking down why Virgo energy isn't about perfectionism or endless optimization - it's about skilled service and conscious choices about where you spend your precious energetic currency. As Taylor Swift says, "energy is expensive" - so let's stop throwing our energetic coins away on busy work. Whether you have strong Virgo placements or not, this season is asking all of us to choose mastery over martyrdom, presence over productivity, and artistry over optimization.In this episode, I share:

The Wimmera region in rural Victoria is becoming a flashpoint in the global race for rare earth minerals.
Authored by J. Michael Dahm, Senior Fellow for Aerospace and China Studies China's informationized warfighting strategies are specifically designed to counter America's networked approach to warfare. This includes breaking long-range kill chains and denying penetrating strikes their highly networked reach-back connectivity. Given these vulnerabilities, it is crucial that the Air Force pursue disaggregated collaborative air operations (DCAO) as an operational concept that sidesteps these adversary strategies to dominate the battlespace information environment. DCAO centers upon combat air forces that operate as locally networked formations, that can operate even when disconnected from broader networks. The concept relies upon a force of fifth- and sixth-generation aircraft, plus collaborative combat aircraft, that can penetrate adversary air defenses, independently sense, coordinate, and execute individual actions at the tactical edge of the battlespace. This builds upon the proven U.S. Air Force employment of effects-based operations (EBO) and parallel warfare. Just as precision weapons and stealth aircraft enabled effects-based operations in numerous conflicts following the Cold War, fifth-generation and beyond aircraft provide battlespace information dominance capabilities to enable new warfighting concepts that can achieve decisive effects forward in highly contested areas.
What happens when we fly too close to the sun? The sixth house of the zodiac teaches us this crucial lesson as we transition from the boundless creativity of the fifth house into a realm where we must learn our limits.Through the cautionary tales of Icarus and Phaethon—young men who attempted great feats without proper training—we discover why developing skills and respecting boundaries matters. These mythological figures crashed spectacularly because they lacked sixth house wisdom: the discipline to transform raw talent into practical mastery.Artemis, goddess of the hunt, emerges as our guide through this terrain. Unlike her reckless counterpart Orion who sought to destroy all wilderness, Artemis embodies perfect sixth house energy—skilled with her bow, attuned to natural rhythms, and knowing exactly how much to take from nature without disturbing its balance. Her hunting dogs represent those animal helpers that appear throughout fairy tales, offering instinctual wisdom when we surrender our heroic striving.Historically, Hellenistic astrologers called this the house of "bad fortune," seeing it as a blind spot to our personality. But modern understanding reveals its gifts: Mars finds its joy here not to bring suffering but to provide the necessary discipline for developing skills through persistent effort. The sixth house isn't glamorous—it's about chopping wood and carrying water—yet these humble routines can become sacred rituals when approached with devotion.Health also falls under sixth house dominion, with Hygieia (goddess of preventative medicine) and Chiron (whose name means "hands") teaching us that well-being comes through daily maintenance and practical knowledge. When sixth house energy becomes imbalanced through perfectionism or joyless drudgery, we might need to revisit fifth house qualities of play and spontaneity.As we complete our journey through the sixth house, we prepare for the Descendant—the threshold to the seventh house where we meet others. Having established our individual boundaries and skills, we're ready to engage in relationship with integrity rather than losing ourselves in others.What limits have you learned to respect in your own life? How might transforming daily routines into devotional practice change your relationship with the mundane?

For a 10% discount on Rabbi David Sutton's new book A Daily Dose of Preparation for Yamim Noraim click the link below https://www.artscroll.com/Book s/9781422645086.html The Sixth Contemplation: Reclaiming Your Covenant with God This is an exploration of the sixth contemplation from Cheshbon HaNefesh (Accounting of the Soul), part of the Chovot HaLevavot (Duties of the Heart). This thought is meant to arise when a person feels the inclination to rebel against God's will. The core question is: How can we possibly break our covenant with God when everything else in creation upholds its own? Look around you. The sun, moon, and stars all follow their precise orbits. They obey God's word, as it says in Psalms, "L'olam Hashem D'varcha Nitzav BaShamayim" ("Forever, O Lord, Your word stands firm in the heavens"). A slight deviation in any of these systems—if the Earth were to shift its orbit or the oceans failed to heed their boundaries—would spell the end of humanity. This is the world we live in, one of perfect, unwavering obedience. Now, consider a more personal example: your own body. What happens when your heart, meant to beat rhythmically, stops? Or when parts of your body, meant to be still, begin to shake uncontrollably, as in Parkinson's? What if your senses—your eyes, ears, or taste buds—suddenly ceased to function? The breakdown of a single system causes profound discomfort and can even threaten your life. Given this, the author asks, how can a person not be embarrassed to break their own deal with God? We have a covenant of 613 mitzvot (commandments), yet we fail to keep our end of the bargain. Meanwhile, the very ground we walk on, the air we breathe, and the organs that sustain our life continue to follow God's commands, acting as "helpers" or "housekeepers" that tend to our every need. The King, the Minister, and the Servants The Chovot HaLevavot provides a powerful analogy to drive this point home. A king commands a group of servants to carry one of his ministers across a dangerous river. The servants are to do their job, while the minister is given a separate task, like waving a flag. The servants obediently perform their duty, risking their lives, but the minister ignores his command and relaxes instead. One of the servants confronts the minister, saying, "Imagine if we treated you the way you're treating the king! We would stop holding you up, and you would drown in this river. Turn around and ask for forgiveness. The king has conditioned our service to you upon your obedience to him." This parable helps us understand a deeper truth about the world. When our bodies or our surroundings seem to fail us, it's not always an external punishment. It's an internal breakdown of a system built on the conditions G-d made with us. Rabbi Miller would sometimes explain physical ailments as a lack of appreciation—"you didn't appreciate your teeth, so now you have a toothache." However, the Chovot HaLevavot suggests a different reason: if you don't serve the King, His servants—the organs of your body—may stop serving you. This concept is built into creation itself. God made a condition with the world: it would serve humanity if humanity, in turn, served Him. This is the essence of the blessings and curses described in the Torah. When the sea split for the Jews and then returned to its normal state, the Torah says, "VaYashav HaYam L'eitano" ("And the sea returned to its strength"). The Sages explain that the word לאיתנו "L'eitano" can be read as לתנאו "L'tnao," meaning "to its condition." The sea returned to the fundamental condition God set with creation—that it would listen to those who serve Him. The Or HaChaim HaKadosh elaborates on this, explaining that this is a built-in law of cause and effect. While God is infinitely patient and waits for us to do teshuvah (repentance), as described in Tomer Devorah , there comes a point when His "servants" will no longer tolerate our defiance. They will stop doing their part, and we will face the consequences. Therefore, let us take this to heart and choose to do teshuvah, returning to our proper place in the divinely-ordered world.
As with the murders of Israeli embassy workers Yaron Lischinsky and Sara Lynn Milgrim in 2025, a story that conveniently ran interference for Israeli soldiers threatening to kill foreign diplomats in the West Bank just hours before, the August 27, 2025, mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School-Church did something similar for another story about Israel twice bombing a hospital the same week, killing patients, aid workers and journalists. The shooter, Robin Westman, was classified by the following political affiliations as such: The political right blamed his trans identity, implying drugs were involved, and accused the political left of inciting the violence because one of the messages written on his equipment included “kill Donald Trump.” The whole of LGBTQ was indicted, and he was referred to as having been “groomed.” The political left blamed the far-right, guns, and Nazism, because among a collection of writings and messages the shooter had scribbled on his equipment phrases like “6 million wasn't enough,” “Israel must fall” and “Jew gas.” He had also spoken of murdering “filthy Zionist Jews” in a video manifesto and wrote in a journal “Free Palestine” using the Cyrillic alphabet. Robin Westman (or Westwoman) also strangely wrote “release the list” next to an upside down cross that we can be assured had nothing to do with St. Peter. On two separate ammo magazines he wrote “suck on this” and “where is your God” respectively. Strangely, it appeared that below the former he drew a bird above the Arabic word “Mashallah.” These details were used as evidence that his influence was Islam, and that Muslims were coming to kill Jews. However true any of the above actually is the fact remains that a supposedly antisemitic mass shooter decided to take his anger about Zionism out on Catholics, and children specifically, at a facility where his mother found employment. Something was seriously wrong with this story. First, the concerns of drugs, hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and radical leftwing rhetoric is a valid concern; but blaming the shooting on “transgenderism” serves no other role than to incite and obfuscate. Second, the accusations of Nazism against Westman by the leftwing seem to be a great example of why you aren't supposed to throw stones in a glass house; isn't the political left perceptually the party of anti-Israel? Third, someone who wants “the list,” presumably of Jeffrey Epstein's clients, released could be motivated by either political bias, or by an anarchial spirit against all organized government. Fourth, the tropes about “6 million” dead Jews and Jews being gassed are nothing but atrocity propaganda and gas lighting in light of the facts. Also, the phrase “Israel will fall” is itself anti-Nazi since the latter helped to establish the former. Fifth, the phrase “Free Palestine” has been associated with nearly every act of public violence in the U.S. since October 7, 2023. Sixth, the idea that this shooter was influenced by Islam makes even less sense if he wrote “where is your God,” unless that phrase was meant to imply that he believed the Christian God was different than Allah, an Arabic word for God; and for added confusion on this point, there are three Abrahamic religions, including Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Seventh, the word “Mashallah” denotes the beauty or greatness of something and is a protective charm against the evil eye; it is especially popular among Arabic Christians. Eighth, why would a kid who grew up in a Christian community, presumably, grow to hate Jews, Israel, and Zionists so bad that he would decide to carry out an act of violence against… Catholic children?Within hours, understandably, the FBI began investigating the incident as an “act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics.” We are to believe the word “Mashallah” indicates his Islamic inspiration, which itself is beyond confusing because the word draws on beauty and peace, not violence. Put another way, a Christian anti-Zionist who hated Jews became a Muslim, though he doesn't actually believe in God, and then killed Catholics.An equally peculiar question can be asked about why someone who wanted to “kill Donald Trump,” a leftist chant, would write supposedly radical, rightwing, Nazi phrases - themselves the modern language of the political left - on their equipment before carrying out a shooting against the Church? It seems clear that the rhetoric here is meant to convince us once again that not only are Muslims terrorists, but godless ones that should be shown no mercy; we are to imagine that Muslims hate Jews and Christians so much they will slaughter their children; the mysterious writing is intended to confuse and obfuscate, creating unclear conditions where emotions override critical thinking; the upside down cross facilitates the subconscious Christian reaction. Even more bizarre is the fact that above the Arabic word “Mashallah”, itself semitic, was what appeared to be a bird drawn on one of the magazines. Birds play a role in the Islamic holy texts as symbols of wisdom and guides from Allah, similar to Huginn and Muninn, the sacred ravens of Odin. Birds also fly, swim, walk on land, and are symbols of fiery rebirth like the phoenix. This must have a deeper meaning because not only is a bird representative of the four elements, i.e., GOD, but the shooter wrote “like a phoenix we rise from the ashes” on his equipment too. For the layman these things appear to indicate some sort of cryptic symbolism, which no doubt Internet sleuths will argue over for months or years to come. But what it may mean in context is yet another covert insult to God. Finally, we read from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency of another curious phrase written by the shooter: “A YouTube account believed to have belonged to Westman shared videos prior to the shooting in which gun parts and smoke grenades can be seen with neo-Nazi messaging including, ‘6 million wasn't enough,' ‘Burn Israel,' ‘Israel must fall' and ‘Destroy HIAS,' a reference to the Jewish humanitarian organization. The videos were removed after the shooting. HIAS was also targeted in online writing by Robert Bowers, the man convicted of murdering 11 Jews in the Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh in 2018.” Based on what we learned about HIAS earlier, the picture here begins to form into a clear remedy for all the confusion. Why would a Christian inspired by Islam and a hatred of Jews, specifically blaming HIAS for facilitating illegal immigration, also hate Donald Trump while simultaneously writing or saying things considered rightwing, and then after all is said and done kill Catholic children as punishment for what the Jews supposedly had done? All the propaganda and rhetoric surrounding Jews conveniently became a national story just as the country is questioning why Israel bombed a hospital, waited for journalists and aid workers to arrive with help, and then bombed the facility a second time. According to the New York Post, “the deranged gunman mused about assassinating President Trump and Jews,” but instead decided on the “children of innocent civilians.” The Robin Westman shooting appears to be CIA-Mossad intelligence operations, if not the even itself then the response.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode, host Beau Wigington chats with Robert Carpenter (Carp Welding)—a pipefitter and stainless TIG art creator—about his path into Pipefitters Local 636 (Detroit), what a sixth-period apprentice actually does on the job, and why he chose union life to stay close to home. Key Topics Covered:Why Robert chose the union: home nightly, benefits that keep continuity from job to job.What “laid off” really means in the union—and how the hall gets you back working.Apprentice responsibilities: working under a journeyman, proving you can weld to earn more hood time.Getting real welding time: how company choice affects whether you actually weld.TIG art and bracelets: making stainless and copper pieces without burning out.Welding copper bracelets: cleanliness, gas/cup, and dialing amperage with a foot pedal.Avoiding creator burnout: setting order limits when social posts take off.Career crossroads: staying an employee vs. starting a pipefitting/mechanical business.Work-life balance: finding a non-welding escape (hello, sport bike) to stay fresh.Memorable Quotes:As an apprentice, you're always working with a journeyman—but you're doing all the work.”“You get laid off the first time, it's gonna feel like a breakup… but it's not personal.”“I like showing up, putting my hood down, and clocking out. Sometimes I like not having a ton of that stress.”Practical Takeaways (Welding Pain Points Solved)Union stability 101: Layoffs are often just a slowdown; call the hall and get re-dispatched—sometimes by Monday.Insurance that follows you: In the union, you're not re-starting benefits at each new site; work and coverage stay centralized.Earn your arc time: Demonstrate ability early so journeymen hand you more welding (not just fitting).If you want to weld, choose your contractor wisely: Some shops barely weld; others are 40 hours under the hood.Copper bracelet TIG basics: Start ultra-clean to avoid pitting/porosity, use 100% argon and a larger cup, set machine high (~220 A available) but actually run around ~60 A with foot control so you've got headroom.Beat burnout on side gigs: Repetition is real, set order caps and batch work so socials don't turn into 70 overnight deadlines..Resources Mentioned:Pipefitters Local 636 (Detroit) – Robert's local - https://pipefitters636.org/ Blue Demon copper TIG filler wire – used for copper bracelets- https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Demon-ERCu-Copper-welding/dp/B00I4BXMPC?th=1 Save 20% On Related American Welding Program Courses With WELD20 - https://foxly.link/t8aJ0M Guest's Content & Contact:Instagram - @carpwelding https://www.instagram.com/carpwelding/ TikTok - @carpwelding https://www.tiktok.com/@carpwelding Connect with Beau WigingtonInstagram: @beaudiditwelding https://www.instagram.com/beaudiditwelding LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beauwigington E-Mail : beauw@weld.comDownload the WELD App:https://foxly.link/Qj0VEa

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.The Rosary is foremost among them.Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign, we will pray for the conversion of former President Bill and his wife, former Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is a 24 hour water fast, adjusted for your state in life.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:1. Keeping the Faith2. Moral renovation3. Conversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall.

City health officials report that the Legionnaires' outbreak is declining, but confirmed cases could still rise as more people seek treatment and earlier cases are verified. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn District Attorney's office hopes an Ohio man arrested for throwing a sex toy at a Liberty game can help them identify other people doing the same. Finally, the Trump administration appears to be targeting companies known to employ unauthorized workers to achieve its goals regarding immigration arrests.
This week, we walk through the top Sixth Player of the Year candidates and Surprise! we disagree.
After promising His work is fueled "not by might, nor by power," God gives Zechariah two startling visions of judgment. A flying scroll carries a curse to cleanse the land of sin, and a woman named "Wickedness" is captured, sealed in a basket, and carried into exile. How does the promise of the Spirit's power relate to the necessity of purging sin? We explore how God's Spirit both empowers and purifies His people, a dual work perfectly fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The Rev. Chris Matthis, pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church in Castle Rock, CO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Zechariah 4 and 5. To learn more about Epiphany Lutheran, visit epiphanylc.org. The Persian king Cyrus issues an astonishing decree: the exiles may go home. Among them are the Jews—God's chosen people—whom this pagan ruler not only repatriates, but commands to rebuild the temple of the Lord. Ezra 1–4 tells of their return, the joy of restored worship, and the crushing opposition that brings construction to a standstill. Then the prophets Haggai and Zechariah speak with God's authority, calling His people to courage, repentance, and hope. In Ezra 5–8 the temple is completed, worship flourishes, and hearts are renewed in God's Word. This series on Thy Strong Word follows the events in the order they happened, revealing how the Lord moves kings and prophets, overcomes opposition, and restores His people. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Breast implants have come a long way, and on this episode of Plastic Surgery Untold we're breaking it all down. From saline implants to today's 6th generation cohesive gel implants, the options available now are more versatile than ever. Each type comes with unique advantages, and the right choice depends on your body, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. Saline implants offered safety and flexibility with volume adjustments, but also came with firmness and rippling. Fifth generation gummy bear implants introduced highly cohesive gel for softness and shape, reducing rippling and improving results. Now, the sixth generation implants build on this progress with 100% fill, progressive gels, and advanced shell technology, giving patients more natural results and surgeons greater control. At the end of the day, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Some patients may benefit from the structure of 6th generation Motiva implants, while others may prefer a different option based on their anatomy or desired outcome. The key is finding what's best for you — and that's what we help patients decide every day. Key takeaways from this episode: Saline implants provided safety and flexibility, but were firmer with higher rippling. Fifth generation gummy bear implants brought softness, safety, and customization. Sixth generation implants combine natural movement with structure, helping address challenges like weight loss changes and rippling. Stay tuned to Plastic Surgery Untold for more insights as we explore the world of cosmetic surgery, the evolution of breast implants, and how technology continues to expand patient options.

Here's a fun commandment: You shall not kill."Wait!" some of you just said. "It says not to MURDER. It's fine for me to kill people if I use a government to do it. Or if it happens in war. Or if by killing someone I can save someone else from death or mental scars or a bad afternoon at the supermarket. Right?"Is that right? Or is there some logic being missed or some ideal being ignored here? And is there a list of exceptions to the rules God laid out for his people to follow?We'll talk through some of this today. I hope you'll join us.

What Would You Do For Million Dollars?For the chance to score a seven-figure payday, 43% of Americans would ditch their romantic partner, according to a new survey.More than half (59%) would disappear and start a new life for a million bucks, while 41% would give up sex forever and 27% would marry someone they didn't love.Nearly half (46%) of the 2-thousand respondents would even participate in a real-life “Squid Game” competition for a shot at winning $33-million.⠀Wildest Things Kids Brought To School“A baby opossum — in his backpack that he found at the bus stop that morning.”“Sixth grader brought ‘brownies' and gave them to the ENTIRE grade level. There were students sitting against the walls on both sides of the hallway in the main office waiting to get interviewed by law enforcement.”“A life-sized cardboard cut-out of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We propped her up in the window of the door overnight and scared extended-care folks and the janitor.”“Fifth grader brought weeks-old Jello shots from Mardi Gras.”“A kitten he found on his walk to school.”“Aztec death whistle.”“An expired Twinkie they had found on the bathroom floor.”“First grader brought his mom's copy of ‘Kama Sutra' and asked me to read it to the class.”“All the rent money from a mom's purse.”“Student ... unzips hoodie to reveal a boa constrictor snuggled around her neck.”“Grandma's wig. The good one. Gave it to me for Christmas.”“Fuzzy handcuffs that she said her mom loves.”Kids Embarrassing Their Parents“I made the mistake of telling my kid that if he didn't eat, he wouldn't grow. He told a person with dwarfism in the checkout line at the store that they needed to eat so they would grow.”“My son at 5 years old dropped a deuce in the toilet display at Lowe's.”“Just paid for an item at Walmart and walked out without it in a bag. My kid said loudly, ‘Are you stealing that?? We have to pay!'”“My daughter would ask every man she saw if they were her dad. Me and her dad were, and still are, together. She saw him daily, she just insisted on asking every man .... she even asked people when her dad was with us.”“When my daughter was 4, we were having breakfast in a restaurant and she asked the elderly lady next to us why she wasn't in heaven yet.”“I told my son he couldn't eat chips until we got home. He responded loudly, ‘But Mom, we don't have a home.' We very much did, and everybody at the store started offering housing resources.”“Walked into Wendy's and my 2 and 1/2 year-old looks at a lady and said in her loud, squeaky voice, ‘That lady is OLD. She's going to die soon.' Every head turned to look at said woman. We did not eat at Wendy's that night.”“My 5-year-old son asked if the gas station guy with the turban was a genie.”“My son loved to fake drown at water parks.”“My son told the pediatrician when he was 7 or 8, ‘My mom doesn't make us wear seatbelt and we duck if we see a cop.' NEVER HAPPENED and I was so speechless, I couldn't even react.”“My daughter asked the .... cashier (who was missing some teeth) if she ever brushed her teeth before.”Second Date UpdateAmanda calls us about Eli. They went out for drinks in Mountain View after meeting online. She thought he was attractive and smart, and they had a few hours of great conversation. Now nothing.
