    New year energy is great, but the real edge is calm, repeatable action. We open 2026 with a straight talk on travel, training, and why you probably didn't “gain 12 pounds of fat” last week. If you trained hard all year, a vacation can be strategic recovery—your tissues heal, your head clears, and you often return stronger. I share what I actually did on a family cruise: short, full-body sessions, over 10k steps a day, and a surprising shift toward nonalcoholic drinks despite buying the package. The goal wasn't martyrdom; it was feeling good and coming home ready to train.We dig into the mechanics of water weight and why the scale spikes after flights, salty meals, humidity, and higher carbs. Glycogen and water retention can swing your weight fast, then normalize once you're home, hydrated, and back in routine. The antidote to panic isn't punishment. It's a measured ramp: your normal training times, sensible loads, and one to two weeks of easing back so you avoid injury and reignite momentum. For travelers, we outline simple protocols—10 to 20 minute conditioning pieces, dumbbell push-pull-leg splits, and density sets that work in any hotel. Want more structure? Snap a photo of the hotel gym and we'll write you a week that fits the gear and your schedule.We also explain why we don't run January cash-grab challenges. Short sprints rarely become a lifestyle. Instead, we coach habit stacking that holds: three gym sessions a week, daily 10k steps, weighed protein, better sleep, then layered progress as the basics feel automatic. If alcohol or added sugar is derailing recovery, we offer practical ways to reduce the drag without killing your joy. And for an honest baseline, we're asking every member to get an InBody scan this month so we can adjust with real data, not emotions.If you're ready to trade “new year, new you” for steady you, this one's for you.

    This Badlands Media special coverage features a White House press briefing focused on domestic health policy and major foreign policy developments. Officials outline progress on the administration's “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, including updates to the childhood vaccination schedule, removal of artificial food dyes, prescription drug pricing reforms, and the release of the 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Cabinet members detail how the new guidelines prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods, reduce added sugars and ultra-processed foods, and will reshape federal programs such as school lunches, SNAP, WIC, Head Start, military meals, and VA nutrition. The briefing includes extended remarks on chronic disease, obesity, healthcare costs, and the economic impact of improved nutrition, followed by questions on implementation, affordability, alcohol guidance, and state cooperation. The latter portion of the briefing turns to foreign policy, with detailed responses on Venezuela following recent U.S. operations, oil sanctions and sales, interim authorities, seized vessels, and regional security, as well as questions on Greenland, Russia, China, NATO, and domestic fraud investigations.

As panic spreads among Democrat officials, Tara explains why this moment is different, how crime statistics are finally moving in the right direction, and why the media's narrative about “chaos” and “war” collapses under basic facts and long-standing law.

After Minnesota Governor Tim Walz abruptly drops out of the governor's race, Trump officials signal what many already suspect: this isn't a PR issue — it's criminal exposure.

From suitcases of cash moving through airports, to empty daycares raking in millions, to a mayor all but threatening ICE agents, Tara lays out a fraud operation years in the making — and why it's finally being exposed.

    We look back on a year of storms and rainbows, where fear pressed hard, but faith proved stronger. From safety concerns, construction, limited access to food, to technology outages, we faced uncertainty on multiple fronts. Our teams navigated trauma in shelters, supported shaken frontline staff, and responded to a SNAP disruption that sent more families searching for groceries—while also managing financial strain, facility repairs, and staffing pressures. In the middle of it all, unlikely provision met real needs, reminding us that even when systems fail, people and purpose endure.What changed us most was leadership itself. We learned to choose faith as a daily decision, shifting from having all the answers to offering faithful, steady responses. We learned to lead with honesty, prayer, and trust that provision would meet purpose—because it kept doing exactly that. In shelters and across our teams, trauma forged deeper bonds, improved training, and strengthened our shared conviction that we are our brother's keeper. Scripture framed our steps, and “perfect love casts out fear” became a daily practice in how we serve, support one another, and plan for tomorrow without letting anxiety take over.To learn more about TRM, Click Here!To support TRM, Click Here! Send us a Message!

Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as "food stamps," SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X: https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cedricbfrancis/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

    The first AgNet News Hour of 2026 opened with a wide-ranging conversation on agriculture, food policy, and accountability, as Nick Papagni, “the Ag Meter”, and Lorrie Boyer set the tone for a year expected to bring major change. From rising costs and labor challenges to food regulation and taxpayer transparency, the discussion reflected growing frustration among farmers, families, and small businesses across California and beyond. A central focus of the program was a powerful and personal interview with Erin Krier, Professor of Agriculture at Allan Hancock College, who shared how artificial food dyes dramatically affected her son's behavior during early childhood. Erin explained that her son experienced extreme hyperactivity, aggression, and loss of impulse control—symptoms that completely changed once artificial food dyes, flavors, and certain preservatives were removed from his diet. The improvement was immediate and unmistakable, reinforcing research that links synthetic dyes—many petroleum-based—to behavioral issues in children. Krier emphasized that these additives often remain in the body for days, continuing to affect the brain even after consumption stops. She offered practical advice for parents, including reading labels carefully, preparing food ahead of time, managing treats at school and social events, and using resources like the Feingold Association to identify safer food options. She also pointed out that Europe has already taken action on artificial dyes, making the current U.S. push—supported by RFK Jr.—long overdue. Beyond food dyes, the show tackled broader policy concerns shaping agriculture in 2026. Papagni and Boyer discussed rising minimum wage pressures, automation in fast food and agriculture, and the strain these costs place on small businesses. They also highlighted new USDA actions aimed at tightening oversight on grants and programs to curb fraud, particularly within SNAP and other taxpayer-funded initiatives. Protecting U.S. farmland from foreign ownership and ensuring national food security were underscored as growing priorities. The episode closed with discussion on livestock trucking regulations, water storage challenges after another strong snowpack year, and the need for common-sense infrastructure solutions to support farmers. Throughout the show, one message was clear: agriculture, food, and family health are deeply connected, and decisions made now will shape the future for years to come. This episode delivers insight every farmer, parent, and ag professional should hear—and the full interview with Erin Krier provides eye-opening detail that goes far beyond headlines.

    Las navidades siempre han sido una época del año desafiante para las organizaciones comunitarias y caritativas. Sin embargo, en Estados Unidos, las complicaciones han sido aún mayores, al no limitarse simplemente a la actividad de ayudar a los más necesitados. 2025 ha sido un año difícil para las organizaciones de caridad en Estados Unidos. Las fechas navideñas, además de ser días de reunión con los seres queridos, son también días para compartir con la gente cercana y con los más necesitados. Common Pantry es un comedor comunitario en Chicago que ofrece alimentos gratis a aquellos que lo necesitan, desde sin techo a jubilados con la pensión baja o familias con pocos recursos. Estas fechas siempre son complicadas, porque la actividad se multiplica y además tratan de hacer que los necesitados sientan que estos días también son suyos, como nos explica Juan Alegría, responsable de instalaciones y recepción. “Especialmente en estos días de fiestas por mes servimos más o menos como a 1.200 unidades de familia que pueden ser de 5 a 6.000 personas. Nosotros tratamos de normalizar lo más posible estas fiestas para que la gente se sienta apoyada y como en familia”, explica Alegría. “Entonces hacemos una distribución de jamones grandes y todas las cosas que normalmente van con esa comida, pero también distribuimos regalos a niños y familias que no pueden afrontar esos gastos.” Sin embargo, la mayor actividad navideña no fue ni de lejos el mayor desafío. En Common Pantry no contaban este año con dos problemas: El cierre temporal del Gobierno, con la pausa del programa de cupones de alimentos SNAP, y especialmente las redadas de ICE, ya que parte de la gente que viene a reclamar su ayuda es de origen extranjero. “Al limitarse esos fondos y al haber cerrado completamente por un tiempo el programa de ayuda de alimentos, se hizo más crítica la situación y eso, junto la amenaza que muchas personas sentían en cuanto a su seguridad personal, con el énfasis que se dio en inmigración y estatus inmigratorio, las personas se sentían bien amenazadas”, enfatiza Alegría. “Tuvimos nosotros que incrementar la seguridad, incluso tener puertas enllavadas para poder ofrecer cierta seguridad a las personas y también entonces que, por lo menos, estuvieran en la parte del patio de atrás por no poder estar en la calle innecesariamente por el temor que sentían. Entonces eso complica más la logística de nuestro local”.

The timing and size of our refunds this year could make a real difference in how much we're able to save, spend, or get ahead on bills.In the wake of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, this year's tax refund season is shaping up to be bigger than usual. The new fiscal bill packed in a variety of tax cuts for consumers. It also included spending cuts to programs such as SNAP benefits and Medicaid, but most of those cuts don't pick up until later this decade. Altogether, this means that we'll likely see personal incomes and spending power get a boost in 2026.Many of the new deductions and tax credits for consumers in the bill were made retroactive to the 2025 fiscal year. These include deductions for tips and overtime, a higher child tax credit, an increased senior deduction, and a higher cap on state and local tax deductions, among others. The retroactive portion of these measures should be reflected in tax refunds early this year. Overall, we're expecting these changes to increase refunds by 15 to 20 percent on average. And different groups will benefit from different parts of the bill. For example, the higher state and local tax cap is likely to help high-income consumers the most, while deductions for tips and overtime will be most valuable to middle-income earners.Historically, U.S. consumers receive about 30 to 45 percent of tax refunds by the end of February, with then 60 to 70 percent arriving by the end of March. Because of the new tax provisions, we're anticipating a noticeable boost in personal income during the first quarter of the year. While we do also expect this legislation to encourage higher spending, it's unlikely that we'll see spending rise as sharply as income right away. According to surveys, most consumers say they use their refunds mainly for saving or paying down debt. This can lead to healthier balance sheets, which is shown by higher prepayment rates and fewer loan delinquencies during the tax refund season.When people choose to spend all or some of their tax refunds, they typically put that money toward everyday needs, travel, new clothes, or home improvements. Looking ahead, we do still see some near-term headwinds to spending, such as expected increases in inflation from tariffs and the expiration of the Affordable Care Act credits, which will most affect low-income consumers. As we progress throughout the year, though, we're anticipating steady growth in real consumer spending as the labor market stabilizes, inflation decelerates, and lagged effects of easier monetary policy flow through. On top of that, this year's larger tax refunds should give another lift to household spending.The boost to spending, along with other corporate provisions in the bill, should give the broader economy a push this year too. We expect the bill as a whole to support GDP growth in 2026.  But it then becomes a drag on growth in later years when more of the spending cuts take effect.Thanks for listening.

Greg Alba & Aaron Alexander react to Legally Blonde, and this movie is WAY smarter, warmer, and more empowering than its reputation sometimes gets credit for. Starring Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods, Legally Blonde follows an underestimated sorority queen who enrolls at Harvard Law School to win back her ex — only to discover her intelligence, confidence, and self-worth along the way. What starts as a fish-out-of-water comedy becomes a sharp commentary on sexism, elitism, and judging people by appearances. In this reaction, we talk through Elle's character growth, iconic scenes like the admissions video, the classroom moments with Professor Callahan, the courtroom finale, and why this movie still resonates decades later. From comedy to heart, Legally Blonde proves you can be feminine, kind, and brilliant — all at the same time.

CannCon and Ashe also connect these stories to healthcare spending, bureaucratic fraud, and centralized systems that shield corruption, wrapping the year with reflections on public mandates, narrative deployment, and what 2026 may bring.

    Parties fall apart when they rely on luck. We turn the chaos of a live office bash into a step‑by‑step blueprint for a New Year celebration that feels immersive, welcoming, and unmistakably geeky. From the moment guests walk in, we want the room to communicate: you belong here, you're taken care of, and you're about to have fun.We start with atmosphere, the most underrated tool a host has. Think layered lighting, a soundtrack that grooves without demanding attention, and bold visuals running silently in the background. Zardoz, Barbarella, and Flash Gordon become moving artwork that sparks conversation without hijacking the night. Then we get tactical with decor: banners and papercraft that nod to fandom while staying legible, table tents that map the room, and labels that make allergens and ingredients obvious at a glance.Food is designed for the way people actually party. We veto the fussy cookbook relics and replace them with finger‑friendly hits: shaped pizzas and fruit platters that double as set pieces, roasted‑corn salads for color and crunch, and treats that echo beloved worlds without requiring a fork. Drinks get the same treatment. We batch signature cocktails into shareable punches—think Tranya and Warp Core Breach—and give non‑drinkers parity with zero‑proof options served in real glassware. Everyone gets a great glass, a quick pour, and a reason to linger.To lock in a moment people will talk about, we time Avengers Infinity War so midnight lands exactly on Thor's arrival or the Snap. It's a simple sync that transforms a countdown into a shared story beat. By the end, you'll have a plan for atmosphere, inclusive menus, efficient bar flow, music that moves the edges of the room, and visuals that keep curiosity alive. If this guide helps you throw a party your friends won't forget, follow the show, share it with your crew, and drop a review telling us which midnight cue you chose—Thor or the Snap?

    Trump on Trial
    Supreme Court's Pro-Trump Rulings Dominate Shadow Docket

    Trump on Trial

    Hey there, listeners, buckle up because the Supreme Court's shadow docket has been on fire these past few days, handing President Donald Trump and his administration a string of high-stakes wins in battles over everything from the National Guard to passports and federal spending. Just eight days ago, on December 23, 2025, the Court ruled in Trump v. Illinois, siding against the administration's bid to federalize and deploy the National Guard in Illinois without state consent. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence, while Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented, arguing the move was essential for national security amid rising unrest in Chicago. The Brennan Center's Supreme Court Shadow Docket Tracker notes this as one of only five losses for the administration since January, out of 25 emergency decisions, with most favoring Trump at least partially and often with minimal explanation.But don't let that one setback fool you—the Court has been overwhelmingly pro-administration lately. On November 6, the justices greenlit the State Department's policy refusing passports that reflect transgender applicants' gender identity for a certified class of plaintiffs, overruling lower courts in a terse order. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan dissented sharply, warning it tramples civil rights. This fits a pattern: back on October 3 in Noem v. National TPS Alliance, the Court forced the government to release congressionally appropriated foreign aid funds, with Justice Kagan's dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson, blasting it as executive overreach. Earlier, September 22's Trump v. Slaughter let the administration dodge discovery demands from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington over DOGE Service materials under the Freedom of Information Act.Rewind a bit further into this whirlwind year, and the shadow docket explodes with immigration clashes. In Noem v. Doe on May 30, the Court allowed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to revoke parole en masse for half a million noncitizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, skipping individual reviews—Justice Jackson dissented alongside Sotomayor. April's Trump v. J.G.G. permitted deportations of alleged Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act, despite dissents from Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, and even partial pushback from Amy Coney Barrett. A.A.R.P. v. Trump on April 19 blocked removals of Venezuelan nationals, a rare check, with Kavanaugh concurring and Alito dissenting.Civil service purges? Check: McMahon v. New York on July 14 okayed firing Department of Education employees, while Trump v. Boyle upheld Trump's power to boot Consumer Product Safety Commission members without cause. Even LGBTQ+ rights took hits, like United States v. Shilling in May letting the Defense Department terminate transgender service members. Lawfare's Trump Administration Litigation Tracker highlights ongoing suits, including a coalition of nonprofits and cities challenging the suspension of November 2025 SNAP benefits—a case that echoes lower court fights like District of Rhode Island's order to fully fund them.Since Inauguration Day, the Supreme Court's emergency docket—mostly Department of Justice filings—has tilted 20-to-5 toward Trump, per SCOTUSblog and Shadow Docket Watch data. Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh often push back against blocks, while the liberal trio fights rearguard actions. As 2025 wraps, two applications still pend, promising more drama.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.
