FROM SURPLUS TO TRILLION-DOLLAR DEBT AUSTRALIA'S ECONOMIC REPUTATION SQUANDERED COMMANDING THE NARRATIVE EPISODE 142Steven Tripp is flying solo in this episode as he details the sobering and stark decline in Australia's economic standing since Peter Costello's ‘debt-free' achievement in April 2006. Steven discusses Australia's decline, which includes massive debt, uncontrolled government spending, high rents, high inflation and rampant taxation. Steven also details potential solutions, which would require a mammoth undertaking by future governments to reverse the damage caused since the days of sound economic management of the Howard-Costello era.

God gives to people talents and gifts and opportunities as He sees fit.  And He holds us accountable for what we have been given, proportionately to how we have been blessed and favored.  Today, we will look briefly at some of the people in the Bible who were blessed and whether or not they rose to the level of how they had been blessed.Luke 12:47-48 KJVAnd that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.  But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.Moderate potential, Squandered opportunities•Prodigal son•Hophni & Phineas•Thief on the Cross #1•Received one TalentModerate potential, Maximized outcome•Rahab•Samuel•Jeremiah•Thief on the Cross #2High potential, Squandered opportunities•Nadab & Abihu•Samson•Solomon•Rich Young RulerHigh potential, Maximized outcome•Joseph•Moses•Daniel•John the BaptistRelated Podcasts:— Derailed from your Destiny— Having the Right Perspective— The Foreknowledge Conundrum— The Sanctification of King Nebuchadnezzar— Lessons from the Life of Naaman the leper— Lessons from the Book of Job #1— Lessons from the Book of Job #2— Answered of the Lord, Part 1— Answered of the Lord, Part 2— What Doest Thou Here, Elijah?— Lessons from the Book of Jonah— Lessons from the Life of King HezekiahRelated Podcasts at TrueWisdom:— Who is Predestined?— Teach Me Thy Statutes— The Covetousness of Achan— Using Scripture to Beat the DevilText UsSupport the showSend questions or comments to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comThe Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.  We have an extended, 24-part podcast series on these principles, and a condensed, 9-part series called God's Precious Word, that is based on the same resource.We also recommend that you check out the True Wisdom podcast which I co-host with Robert Baker -- a different format for Bible Study.Finally, check out these awesome Bible Maps!We pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.

Does Canada need a “New World Order” with “New Tools? — or simply Better Decisions with our Current Form of Government?In this episode of The LeDrew Three Minute Interview, Stephen speaks with Peter Shurman about immigration, energy policy, media influence, and the direction of Canada under Prime Minister Mark Carney.Shurman argues that many of Canada's biggest problems are not global — but domestic. From stalled pipeline projects and economic uncertainty to immigration concerns and government bureaucracy, he says Ottawa already has the tools to improve conditions if it chooses to act decisively.The conversation explores:Mark Carney's political vision and economic strategyImmigration pressures and public frustrationCanada's untapped oil and natural gas potentialWhy pipeline development remains stalledComparisons between Canada and Norway's energy wealth modelMedia funding and public trust in journalismThe role of government bureaucracy in slowing economic growthAnd whether Canada is failing to capitalize on its natural advantagesLeDrew and Shurman also discuss the growing demand for Canadian energy abroad and the broader debate over whether government should focus less on creating new structures and more on enabling growth.

Harrison Smith from InfoWars joins today's show. The episode argues that Trump's core coalition—white working-class, non-college, and under-$50,000 voters—is rapidly abandoning him, citing polling that shows just 29% approval and 70% disapproval among that group. Hosts link the collapse to rising costs, foreign conflict, and a pattern of controversial clemency, spotlighting the pardon of nursing-home operator Joseph Schwartz, convicted in a multimillion-dollar fraud tied to neglect allegations, which they say left victims unable to collect judgments. They claim the pardon reflects a broader, pay-to-play lobbying system aligned with pro-Israel networks and present clips and commentary suggesting Trump is “compromised” and increasingly oriented toward an “Israel first” foreign policy, including escalation with Iran. The discussion includes looming midterm losses and speculation about an America-first political future beyond Trump.*SPONSORS:*NicNac - Premium nicotine lozenges made in USA - Use code JOEL20! for 20% off at https://www.nicnac.com/discount/joel20!/Paleovalley – If you're trying to eat clean but still need something convenient, these 100% grass-fed beef sticks are a solid option.

Genesis 21:1-21 (The High Stakes of Hope Squandered: An Heir Born of Undeserved, Divine Grace) - Phil Adams by Park Community Church

Today a parliamentary report has sharply criticised the Home Office's management of the asylum system that has led to "billions" of pounds being wasted. It said the government has repeatedly cut corners and wasted taxpayers' money with its “failed, chaotic and expensive” system. It comes as the Housing Secretary has said that progress on ending the use of hotels for asylum accommodation will be announced “within weeks”. Daniel Sohege, a specialist in international refugee law and protection, and the director of human rights organisation Stand For All, is here to discuss the news. And in part two, The Standard's Entertainment Editor Lisa McLoughlin joins us as it's been revealed that Hollywood A-list couple Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have moved to the leafy north London suburb of Hampstead.

Send us a textWhen you look at the story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife in Genesis 39 and then  you look at the title of this episode, Squandered Blessings, you might immediately ask, "Joseph didn't sin; how did he squander his blessing??".Andrew and Robert take a look at this story from a different view point. Even though Joseph ended up spending 3 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit he ended up well in the end. Who then ultimately lost their blessing?

One of the cornerstones of any free nation is a free and honest press and news media. That is no longer the case in most of the supposed free world's democracies and republics.

What happened??19:41 - Michael Malone chatted with PHD yesterday and he addressed the MPJ trade rumors. In his soundbite, he made it seem like it's all up to Calvin Booth. How intertwined are coaches and GMs? Do we really believe that Malone doesn't have a say in the trade process. 32:46 - Super Bowl week is a bunch of fanfare and hooplah! It's all for show. Some Chiefs players have had high praise for Bo Nix when asked about him. Do we believe them? Or are they just giving polite media answers?

Michael Ray Richardson was a star in the making. After a stellar collegiate career at the University of Montana, where he was voted first team All-Big Sky Conference as a sophomore, junior, and senior, the future seemed bright. Taken fourth overall in the 1978 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks, Richardson was billed as “the next Walt Frazier.” In just his second professional season, he became the third player in NBA history to lead the league in both assists and steals—both Knicks team records. Richardson would also notch four All-Star appearances and twice being named to the All-Defensive team over eight seasons between the Knicks, Golden State Warriors, and New Jersey Nets. But during that time, his time off the court was having a bigger impact on his career than what he was doing on the court. On February 25, 1986, after three violations of the league's drug policy, NBA commissioner David Stern would ban Richardson from continuing his professional career. His struggles with drugs and alcohol were well documented, and someone considered the next big thing became the first player in league history to be receive a lifetime ban. For most people, this would be the end to their story—one in which their substance abuse would take over and their downfall inevitable. However, that was not in the cards for Michael Ray Richardson. In Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption (Sports Publishing, 2024), Richardson opens up about his life both on and off the basketball court, discussing all the highs and lows that made him both a hero and a villain. Though being reinstated to the NBA in 1988, he would instead have stints in the United States Basketball League and CBA before taking his talents to Europe. With stints in Italy, Croatia, and France, he would lead his teams to numerous championships in his decade-plus overseas. Now back in the states and running youth basketball clinics, Banned is Richardson's first opportunity to open up about his life, showing that though you may get knocked down—even from self-inflicted actions—the only person that can count you out is yourself. With forewords from Hall of Famers George “The Iceman” Gervin and Nancy Lieberman, this is the story of the Michael Ray Richardson as only he can tell it. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won.

Susanne Craig is an investigative reporter at the New York Times. Since 2016, her reporting has focused on the personal finances of Donald J. Trump, including in-depth articles that revealed the fortune Trump inherited from his father and the record of business failures hidden in twenty years of Trump's tax returns. Those articles were awarded a Pulitzer Prize and two George Polk awards. Craig previously covered Wall Street and served as Albany bureau chief for the Times.

Trump told a national television audience that life “has not been easy for me. It has not been easy for me.” Building on a narrative he had been telling for decades, he spun a hardscrabble fable of how he parlayed a small loan from his father into a multi-billion-dollar business and real estate empire. This feat, he argued, made him singularly qualified to lead the country. Except: None of it was true. Born to a rich father who made him the beneficiary of his own highly lucrative investments, Trump received the equivalent of more than $500 million today via means that required no business expertise whatsoever. Drawing on over twenty years' worth of Trump's confidential tax information, including the tax returns he tried to conceal, alongside business records and interviews with Trump insiders, New York Times investigative reporters Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig track Trump's financial rise and fall, and rise and fall again. For decades, he squanders his fortunes on money losing businesses, only to be saved yet again by financial serendipity. He tacks his name above the door of every building, while taking out huge loans he'll never repay. He obsesses over appearances, while ignoring threats to the bottom line and mounting costly lawsuits against city officials. He tarnishes the value of his name by allowing anyone with a big enough check to use it, and cheats the television producer who not only rescues him from bankruptcy but casts him as a business savant – the public image that will carry him to the White House.  A masterpiece of narrative reporting, Lucky Loser is a meticulous examination spanning nearly a century, filled with scoops from Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, Atlantic City, and the set of The Apprentice. At a moment when Trump's tether to success and power is more precarious than ever, here for the first time is the definitive true accounting of Trump and his money – what he had, what he lost, and what he has left – and the final word on the myth of Trump, the self-made billionaire.
