The Vitals had settled in Springfield from Haiti during President Donald Trump's first term and saved money through the Biden administration. Business leaders in their reliably red county praised immigrants for reviving the local economy. Americans struggled to pass drug tests, one factory boss told a TV news crew. Not Haitians.Fernande Vital earned $21 an hour at a Japanese automotive plant, monitoring robots forging car parts, while her husband, Rocher, led a strip-mall church. Even as the GOP and some of their neighbors called for mass deportations, the Vitals were sure nobody meant them, immigrants here legally.So inJuly of last year, they made a down payment of $8,000, their entire nest egg. In August, they moved in, installed lace curtains and hung a family portrait in the dining room. One month later came the cracks.This story follows the Vitals after they dealt with the structural woes in their home and their feeling of belonging in this country.Danielle Paquette reported, wrote and narrated the piece. Bishop Sand composed music and produced audio.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
This week, we dive deep into the concept of justice and ask the hard question: where are the consequences? We break down the different flavors of justice—from retributive to restorative, distributive to procedural—and examine why none of them seem to be working when it comes to holding powerful people accountable.We explore how the Republican Party has spent decades teaching its voters that they never have to face consequences for their actions, creating a system where shame and accountability have become extinct.It's another episode from the Cornfield Resistance, where we're still waiting for any flavor of justice at all.Cover photo: People's Verdict: Guilty!

An episode from Berean Baptist Church, an independent body of King James Bible believers located in Springfield Missouri. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible and God-breathed, and therefore are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to Man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according to their normal grammatical-historical meaning. We believe that God's Word has been divinely preserved in the English language and commonly known as the Authorized King James Version. Therefore, the Authorized King James Version shall be the official and only translation used by the church. (II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:20-21). We believe that man was created in the image and likeness of God, but that in Adam's sin the human race fell, inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, that man is totally depraved, and of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23, 5:12, 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-3, 4:17-19). We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7, 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19). We believe that all the redeemed, once saved, are kept by God's power and are thus secure in Christ forever (John 6:37-40; 10:27-30; Romans 8:1, 38-39; I Cor.1: 4-8; I Peter 1:4-5).We believe that it is the privilege of believers to rejoice in the assurance of their salvation through the testimony of God's Word, which, however clearly forbids the use of Christian liberty as an occasion to the flesh (Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:13; Titus 2:11-15).We believe in that “blessed hope,” the personal, imminent return of Christ who will rapture all believers prior to the seven-year tribulation period. At the end of the Tribulation, Christ will personally and visibly return with His saints, to establish His earthly Messianic Kingdom, which was promised to the nation of Israel (Psalm 89:3-4; Daniel 2:31-45; Zechariah 14:4-11; I Thessalonians 1:10, 4:13-18; Titus 2:13; Revelation 3:10, 19:11-16, 20:1-6).The Berean Baptist Church Statement of Faith does not exhaust the extent of our faith. The Bible itself is the sole and final authority of all that we believe. We do believe, however, that this statement of faith accurately represents the teaching of the Bible.You may visit Berean Baptist Church's website https://bereansgf.org/ or write to them at:507 East Norton Rd,Springfield, MO 65803 The KJV Bible Preaching Churches Podcast is directly supported by Doss Metrics LLC | Ministry Services based out of Cleveland Texas.

This week we dive into why platforming fascists is always a terrible idea, using Mehdi Hasan's recent Jubilee debate as our cautionary tale. We examine how these staged confrontations accomplish nothing except providing content for right-wing sites and turning wannabe fascists into MAGA heroes.We break down the employment reality behind Connor Estelle's firing (spoiler: it's called "at-will employment," not "cancellation") and marvel at how quickly the grift machine turned his unemployment into a nearly $40K GoFundMe payday.Then we turn to the real story everyone's trying to avoid: Trump's massive pedophile coverup and the GOP's desperate scramble to shut down any discussion of the Epstein files. We watch Mike Johnson literally shut down the House rather than allow a vote on transparency, while Trump pulls out his greatest hits of Obama derangement and treason accusations to distract his base.Recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance, where stupid Watergate just keeps getting stupider.Link for this episode: Catch Driftglass and Digby on The Bradcast 7/23/25: https://bradblog.com/?p=15450 Stay in Touch!

We're diving deep into some unexpected connections this week. What do a 425-year-old Shakespeare tragedy and James Gunn's new Superman movie have in common? More than you might think—especially regarding fathers, sons, and the weight of living up to impossible expectations.We'll also mark the 100th anniversary of the Scopes trial verdict and explore how little (and how much) has changed since then. Spoiler alert: the fundamentalists now have their own political party and unlimited funding.Plus, we're talking about what it means to be a good father in public life—from Obama to Biden to... well, let's just say the contrast is stark. And yes, we're absolutely here for Hunter Biden's recent truth-telling tour, much to the horror of certain political consultants who think Democrats should be nicer to anti-immigrant bigots.Oh, and wait until you hear what Arkansas is doing with taxpayer money while ranking 43rd in education. It's not pretty.Fair warning: this one gets into some heavy territory about character, legacy, and what happens when revenge meets redemption. But don't worry—Superman has a dog, and that makes everything better.Link for this episode: Full Hunter Biden interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBbkt2vYC4M Not safe for work, recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance.Stay in Touch!

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: July 23, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS9: E2 - Mary Kutter - From Bootlegging to NashvilleSHOW SUMMARY:What does it take to stand out in the crowded Nashville music scene? For Mary Kutter, it's about being the splash of red paint on a wall of white—creating music that cuts through the noise with authenticity and purpose. Born and raised just outside the Bourbon Capital of the World in Springfield, Kentucky, Mary's journey to Nashville began with an unexpected opportunity hosting a radio variety show. This serendipitous break led to a life-changing connection with legendary songwriter Kim Williams, who recognized something special in the young artist and opened doors that would transform her career. As Mary shares, "That job offer changed my life." When the pandemic shut down the music industry in 2020, Mary faced a pivotal moment. Rather than stepping back, she doubled down on her craft, writing seven days a week, two to three sessions daily, for nearly two years straight. This relentless work ethic yielded her first gold record and substantial placements in movies and commercials—all created through Zoom sessions with collaborators she couldn't meet in person. What truly distinguishes Mary's artistry is her willingness to explore complex, personal narratives. Her viral hit "Devil Wore a Lab Coat" confronts the pharmaceutical industry's role in the opioid epidemic that devastated her Kentucky hometown. "Devil's Money" tells the remarkable true story of her bootlegger great-grandfather who used his illicit earnings to build a church. These songs resonate deeply because they speak truth, regardless of commercial appeal. From unexpected collaborations with rapper Project Pat to her disciplined creative routine beginning at 5 AM daily, Mary embodies the modern artist who forges her own path. Her approach to songwriting combines raw authenticity with strategic savvy, sharing snippets on social media that connect so deeply with fans they're singing unreleased verses at her shows. As Mary prepares for headline performances, festival appearances, and new music releases, her advice to aspiring artists remains straightforward: "Put your blinders on and keep the pedal down." Through every challenge and triumph, she's remained true to herself—creating music that matters and leaving an indelible mark on the Nashville landscape, one honest song at a time.

What does it really mean to walk with God? In this message, Pastor Gary reminds us that the life we're called to is one of relationship—moving with God, not ahead of Him or behind. It's not about going through the motions or settling for empty religion, but about living in step with the Spirit. Walking with God means cultivating a life of prayer, communion, and conversation with Him. There's more for us when we learn to walk at His pace and follow where He's going. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.
Romans 10:9-13
We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore. After 15 years of ringing alarm bells about the Republican party's dangers to our democracy, we find ourselves in the midst of what we're calling "Stupid Watergate Summer" – and it's cooking now.This week, we break down the eerie parallels between Nixon's original Watergate scandal and Trump's current pedophile coverup crisis. From mysteriously missing minutes in crucial evidence (sound familiar?) to panicked firings of key Justice Department officials, we're watching history rhyme in the most disturbing ways possible.We explore how Trump's load-bearing lie – his promise to expose the "global pedophile ring" – is finally cracking under the weight of his own contradictions. When your entire political movement is built on fighting satanic pedophiles, what happens when you start covering for them instead?Plus, we discuss the unprecedented blowback from Trump's own MAGA base, Elon Musk's social media meltdown over the Epstein files, and why this scandal has the potential to fracture the cult of personality that is modern Republicanism.We also cover the week's news: hundreds of lawyers banding together against Emil Bove's judicial nomination, Trump's rambling speech about his uncle and the Unabomber, and Josh Hawley's pathetic attempt to roll back Medicaid cuts he just voted for.Because when fascists are destroying democracy, the answer to every question is a noun, a verb, and Donald Trump's coverup of the Epstein Files.Not safe for work.

I cannot wait for you to hear this today! Whitney Capps and the incredible ladies of Point of Grace joined me at a Fresh Grounded Faith event in Springfield, Missouri, and let me tell you, there was something extra special about this day. Maybe it was because Whitney brought such raw honesty while in the middle of cancer treatments. Or maybe it was the sweet friendship and humility that Point of Grace radiated from the stage. Or maybe it was because someone in the audience tried to set KC up with her cousin, Brenda.
Chicago Man Charged with Murder and Arson in Fatal Apartment Fire That Killed Four, Including Pregnant Woman and Child A 23-year-old Chicago man, Lontray Clark, has been charged with multiple counts of murder and arson after allegedly setting fire to an apartment building in the Austin neighborhood in Chicago on June 26, 2025. The blaze resulted in the deaths of four individuals, including a pregnant woman and her 5-year-old son, and left several others injured. According to prosecutors, Clark became enraged after discovering that his ex-girlfriend was dating his friend. After seeing a photo of the couple on social media, Clark allegedly purchased gasoline and materials to create a Molotov cocktail, which he used to ignite the apartment building located at 5222 W. North Avenue. Surveillance footage reportedly captured Clark buying gasoline and other items prior to the incident. The fire broke out around 1:50 a.m., trapping residents inside the building. The victims who perished in the fire were identified as Brad Cummings, 76, editor of the Austin-based newspaper The Voice; Regina Henry, 32, who was three months pregnant; her 5-year-old son, Jayceon Henry; and Regina's sister, Destiny Henry, 28. Destiny's 4-year-old son, Kyle, was critically injured and remains hospitalized. Clark's ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, who were the apparent targets of the attack, managed to escape the blaze by climbing out of a window. Clark was arrested in Springfield, Illinois, and is being held without bail. He faces multiple charges, including eight counts of murder, four counts of aggravated arson, two counts of attempted murder, and one count of residential arson Community members and family of the victims have expressed grief and outrage over the incident. Reverend George Smith Jr., a relative of the Henry family, stated, "He took precious lives from us and justice will be served." The fire displaced at least 28 residents and required the response of approximately 140 firefighters. Clark is scheduled to appear in court on Monday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Join us this week as we explore the slow-motion collapse of expertise and institutions in America through the lens of Isaac Asimov's classic science fiction story "Nightfall."We examine how the MAGA mob's assault on knowledge mirrors the fictional planet Lagash, where civilization periodically burns itself down in fear of what it doesn't understand. We're witnessing a Cultural Revolution-style purge of expertise - except this time, the things being feared are lies manufactured by Fox News and demagogues.Plus, Blue Gal reads driftglass's brilliant takedown of David Brooks' latest exercise in intellectual masturbation, where Brooks traces Trump support all the way back to ancient Athens to avoid the obvious conclusion that Republicans have simply chosen to embrace authoritarianism.As always, we try to distinguish between weather and climate, between forest and trees - but right now there's just Nazi kudzu growing everywhere, getting louder and more dangerous by the day.This podcast is not safe for work and is recorded live from the Cornfield Resistance.LINK TO SATURDAY'S Hal Sparks Live Show tickets: https://heartlandsignal.com/halsparks-live-at-max-and-bennys-restaurant/ Stay in Touch!
