Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit dem Turnier aus Rom. Hier konnte Carlos Alcaraz seine Ausgangsposition vor Rolland Garros nochmal verbessern und Jasmine Paolini den bisher größten Titel ihrer Karriere gewinnen. Paolini spielte gutes wenn auch kein überragendes Tennis in Rom und doch manövrierte sie sich immer wieder aus schwierigen Situationen raus. So stand am Ende ein Sieg im Finale gegen Coco Gauff. Im Viertelfinale hatte Paolini ein fast schon sicher verlorenes Match gegen Diana Shnaider umgebogen. Auch Coco Gauff war auf dem Weg ins Endspiel an einer sehr engen Partie beteiligt.

Clay season is underway, and we've seen a Runeaissance, a re-Alcarization, a Penkopalypse even. Stuttgart -- always reliable -- brought a stunning quarterfinal lineup and a surprise winner, while Holger reminded the class that there's still tons of time to fulfill his promise. There's much tennis business to talk about, including the first hearing in the PTPA antitrust suit and Opelka's testimony; Lesia Tsurenko's lawsuit against the WTA and Steve Simon; and a somewhat voyeuristic ITIA press release. Plus, Dart's out of left field comment, Shelly Ann clearing the field, and wondering what happened in that Met Gala bathroom meeting.

Hour 3: Scott Korzenowski is in for Jason. Why does he agree with RFK's plan to tackle processed food? And who's being warned about where NOT to travel? Then he talks with MN Secretary of State Steve Simon about a court ruling in favor of signatures on absentee ballots.

Dean Phillips, when asked about his reaction to Tina Smith not running for reelection next year, took the opportunity to tell us Rep. Angie Craig should run for the seat and Secretary of State Steve Simon should run for Governor. Excellent stuff from Dean on that and much more from the political world.

www.commsolutionsmn.com The DFL is still not showing  up to the MN Legislature. They violated the MN constitution. They broke MN statutes. Not only are they not legally sworn in, but they continue to refuse to come to work. They MN Supreme Court disregarded the constitution and the law to side with the DFL. Secretary of State, Steve Simon, is also refusing to follow the law and go get the absent lawmakers upon request. The local media has been covering for them. Governor Walz has been silent (no surprise). Will the Republicans hold? We sure hope so. What's with all of the airplane crashes? Are they operator error or is air traffic control filled with DEI hires that are underqualified for the job? It's no secret that Mayor Pete was awful at his job and that the Department of Transportation is in shambles. We're not very far into the Trump administration, but the news is fast and furious. He has had four years to plan this moment and he is taking full advantage of the political winds being in his favor. He ended birthright citizenship, setting off a firestorm around the 14th amendment to the constitution. What does "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" mean? That is the argument that President Trump's position hangs on. Are children of non-citizens subject to the jurisdiction of the US or their parents' country of origin? This may end up at the Supreme Court. The president moved to drill like crazy and refill our strategic reserves. He removed all of the green energy mandates that had taken away the ability of oil to compete for a share of the market. Tom Homan was empowered to go get illegal alien criminals and deport them or send them to Guantanamo Bay. He went to work right away and began to round up criminals. We are on our way to making America great again, and I don't know if anyone can stop it.

News media continues to favor Trump; DC plane tragedy; Cliff Schecter visits the show; state GOP tries to sue Steve Simon; academic scores still struggling; man who critically injured a teen gets probation; Greg Bakun also stops in to discuss Doctor Who.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- Just when you think that the Democrats can't go any lower... they go and do it. The DFL thought that it would be a good idea to break a bunch of state laws and hold the state hostage, all the while blaming the Republicans for their own bad behavior. We can't say we're surprised, but even this is new territory for them. They rented a room at the MN History Center, hired a retired judge, and took their oath of office a day early. No one knew about it, and only one photo was released. This violates the MN constitution, which dictates that legislators will be sworn in at noon of the first day the legislature convenes, each in their respective chambers. How is this allowed to stand? They broke the law. Then the Secretary of State, Steve Simon, came in to preside over the naming of a Speaker of the House... and illegally adjourned the meeting. There was a tentative power-sharing agreement between the Republicans and Democrats, until it came out that the DFL cheated by allowing a candidate to run that didn't live in his district. They got caught and now are crying and blaming the Republicans for a power grab, even though they are currently short 1 vote because of their cheating. We discuss who might run for governor in 2026, looking at the most prominent and likely candidates. As President Trump takes the oath of office, we review the things that he says that he's going to do. It is a long list, but that's what we can expect this time around. Things are going to move very fast. He's already got the executive orders written and ready to go. He's been working on this for four years, anticipating the moment he is able to put Biden's harmful policies to rest. He will rescind all of Biden's executive orders, close the border, and drill, baby, drill. He will pardon the January 6th people that weren't violent. He will remove many of Biden's Executive Branch regulations. He has every intention of moving quickly, so I believe that we'll see a lot of change very rapidly. What's on your bingo card?

Looking for your thoughts ideas and topics. 200 E 280th New Prague MN HillSpringChurchNewPrague@Gmail.com    Steve Simon, once said, imagine how hard physics would be if molecules had feelings. I think this is relative to a lot of CHRISTIANS. They make their Christian walk hard because they base it on feelings.   Beyond that of being a Xn and living off feelings… most live there whole LIVES   Motive is defined as the psychological feature that arouses an organism to action toward a desired goal; the reason for the action; that which gives purpose and direction to behavior. Motive” is something that causes a person to act in a certain way, do a certain thing, etc.; incentive. The goal or object of a person's actions (Webster's College Dictionary).   What line have you drawn in the sand over what you will allow to motivate you. Most people live by feelings and wants. Others live and are motivated by what is easiest. I remember reading a great book - one of my all time top 5. Its called the 10 natural laws of successful time life management. By Hyrum Smith They asked a man if he would walk on a 2x4 from one twin tower to the other for a million… 5 million. 100 million… people in the crowd mocked him, but he explained he chose early on to never be motivated by money. Hyrum said do you have kids? The guy said yes. He said if your youngest was hanging on for dear life would you go out there… he said in a second. He chose ahead of time what he would allow to motivate him. Money pain peer pressure/threats Feelings or ease    Here is the simple key to correct motives… Do I benefit from it or does God? If I benefit from it then I need to ask some hard questions to make sure its still the right motive that ultimately helps me serve God. Quick example… I work out daily. I benefit from it physically, mentally emotionally, I like looking big and strong (ive never cared about being pretty…I uh mean ripped) I love that it still turns my wife on, and it does help how others see me - But I can ultimately and honestly say I want to live as long as possible because I feel responsible to lead as many people to Christ as I can…because you are not pulling your weight. So yes it benefits me and ultimately God. However if there are things that I know really only benefit me, I need to ask God if I should keep doing this.    If what you are doing is actually for God

The U.S. Supreme Court has heard oral arguments concerning former President Donald Trump's eligibility to be on the 2024 presidential ballot. The arguments were based around the Section Three of the 14th Amendment, which states "No person shall hold any office under the United States who, having previously taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." The arguments got technical right away, but the question at the heart of the arguments is this: Can Trump, who is once again the front runner for the Republican nomination for president, be excluded from the ballot from because of his role in the January 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol? DFL Minnesota Secretary of State, Steve Simon joined MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer to unpack the arguments.

But in 2011, they were selected by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop solutions for sanitation challenges in the developing world. They developed a product that created electricity and clean drinking water based on an input of human biosolids, AKA poop, which they deployed in Senegal. Sedron is featured in a video of Bill Gates famously drinking clean poop water out of the system. We mentioned Sedron briefly in an earlier episode we recorded with Bill Caesar at Generate Upcycle as the two companies have an active partnership, which Stanley also touches on. We'd like to thank former MCJ podcast guest Steve Simon for introducing us to Stanley. While it's tempting to make poop jokes, Stanley helps shine a light on just how much chemical value there can be in it and waste in general, and how harnessing it can move us away from several challenged environmental practices that have become mainstays of modern society.In this episode, we cover: [3:14] Overview of Sedron[5:15] Sedron's Vapor Recompression and Concentration and Recovery (Varcor) technology[7:15] Pitfalls of current waste processes[13:29] Sedron's technologies: the omniprocessor and Varcor[15:56] Waste processing in the dairy industry[20:11] Sedron's go-to-market and sales process with dairy farms[27:42] Janicki Industries, Sedron's parent company, and its origin story[33:05] Sedron's current status and future plansEpisode recorded on November 28, 2023 (Published on January 4, 2024 ) Get connected with MCJ: Jason Jacobs X / LinkedInCody Simms X / LinkedInYin Lu X / LinkedInMCJ Podcast / Collective / YouTube*If you liked this episode, please consider giving us a review!

Episode 22 on Serving Aces is mostly about the trouble with the WTA Tour.  The top 20 women wrote a letter to the CEO Steve Simon to change working conditions, more financial compensation, and a myriad of other things that they feel is necessary for them to compete on the Tour.  The Finals were played in bad weather with winds and rain in Cancun.  Ougi discusses an aggressive baseline player in "The Ball is in Ougi's Court."  Alexandra gives a shout out to Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes.  She says she's still supporting them - though they are in a losing predicament in regard to a Bowl bid.  Alexandra says someone needs to strengthen the offensive line so that Shadeur can play his game.  His offensive stats are off the charts, but he's been sacked 41 times.  Alexandra mentions Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce - and how Taylor has upset the betting world with her Chiefs' appearances.  Finally, Alexandra gives a nod to the Dallas Cowboys iconic coach Tom Landry with a quote for Coach Prime - that Landry said in 1971.  "A crushing setback today - yes - but I've learned that something constructive comes from defeat."
