We're just about a week out from Election Day, and I have to say, this is what I live for. These are the kind of stories that really scratch the itch for anybody who loves the game of politics as much as I do. We've got real contests, real dollars behind them, and actual electoral stakes. Yes, I know it's not a presidential year, but this is the sandbox where some serious groundwork gets laid. And for as much as I hate the off-off-year calendar, I love election season more than anything. Here's my breakdown of where I think the chips are going to fall in November.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Starting in California, we've got Prop 50. Gavin Newsom has staked a big chunk of political capital on this one. It's pitched as a pushback on Republican redistricting, with the messaging ultimately landing on “protecting America from Trump.” What started off messy got refined quickly, and with Newsom's team sticking the landing, I see a 10 to 15 point win. McCarthy was supposed to pour in $100 million to fight it, but as of now, the actual spending is suspiciously light. All that adds up to a clear Democratic win.Now onto Virginia: Winsome Earl Sears vs. Abigail Spanberger. I'm heading up to D.C. this weekend, and originally thought I'd be bouncing around Virginia to catch campaign stops. But Sears? She's nowhere to be found. Spanberger, while not the most electrifying candidate, has managed to avoid major blunders post-Jay Jones scandal. The polling tells a consistent story; Spanberger holding a lead that's grown since the scandal broke. I'm calling it Spanberger by eight. Could be tighter, but it's hard to see Sears overcoming the fundamentals working against her.As for Jay Jones, man, what a collapse. DUI, community service for his own super PAC, and leaked texts about shooting a rival politician? That's how you lose an election. Miyares hasn't trailed since that story broke. Nate Silver might be holding out hope, pointing to early voting and ticket-splitting, but my money's on Miyares by one. A close one, but still a loss for Jones. This scandal made a difference, period.New Yorkers better get ready for Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He hasn't been behind at all in public polling, all while Cuomo is clawing for relevance. Meanwhile, Curtis Sliwa isn't pulling enough Republican support to matter to anyone but Cuomo. The energy just isn't there for a last-minute surprise. Mamdani by 13.And then there's New Jersey. The Mikie Sherrill vs. Jack Ciattarelli race is the sleeper of the night. Sherrill has led for most of the race, but recent polling has things tightening. Trafalgar and Coefficient both show her up by one. Republicans are feeling bullish, and if this ends within three points, they'll have reason to. That would mean New Jersey, at minimum, becomes a fringe battleground in 2028. Not quite Arizona-level swing, but enough to force Democrats to spend real money defending it. I'm predicting Sherrill wins — but just barely.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:32 - Election Predictions00:23:08 - Update00:24:53 - Trade Deals00:30:58 - Shutdown00:38:10 - Israel00:44:36 - Interview with Austin Padgett01:38:03 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

In this episode, Dr Sam Willis discusses the conservation of HMS Victory. As the flagship of Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar, Victory holds immense historical and cultural significance, but preserving her is proving to be a monumental challenge.Simon Williams, who leads the ship's conservation project 'HMS Victory: The Big Repair', shares the unexpected realities of working on the 260-year-old wooden vessel, including the discovery of extensive degradation. What began as a plan to replace six futtocks has grown into a massive effort to conserve 150 futtocks on the starboard side alone. With limited documentation from previous restorations, Simon explains how the team navigates risk management and decision-making in uncharted territory. Simon also discusses the delicate balance between public access and preservation, revealing how the team has had to repair structural elements while ensuring visitor safety and offering the public a rare opportunity to witness conservation in action. He reflects on the privilege of working on HMS Victory, and his fascination with the hidden stories embedded in the ship's construction and maintenance. To ensure future generations can continue this work, the team is creating a detailed historical record of the conservation process - laying the foundation for informed maintenance and repair for years to come.Carolina Sophie Henham also offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily realities of conservation work, from managing water ingress to battling persistent pests like the 'Death Watch' beetle, which is notoriously resistant to traditional treatments and particularly fond of oak, HMS Victory's primary timber. Carolina explains the difficulty of treating infestations without compromising the ship's structure, and shares insights into the team's ongoing research into sustainable pest control methods. She also discusses the innovative approaches being explored to protect this historic vessel.Tony Noon offers a behind-the-scenes tour of the conservation workshop at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, revealing bays dedicated to tasks like laminating futtocks and carving ornate timbers. The space also houses materials and artefacts from other historic ships, showcasing the broader scope of maritime preservation. This episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the most ambitious maritime conservation projects in recent years.This episode is supported by the Society for Nautical Research, the Save The Victory Fund (STVF) and the Lloyd's Register Foundation.

In this commemorative episode of Mariner's Mirror Podcast, host Dr Sam Willis marks the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar by exploring the exact location and circumstances of Admiral Lord Nelson's death aboard HMS Victory on the 21st of October 1805. Joined by Andrew Baines, Executive Director of Museum Operations at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth, and Dr Dan O'Brien, historian of undertakers and funerals in Eighteenth Century England, the discussion unfolds on the very decks where history was made - the quarter deck where Nelson was shot, and the orlop deck where he died.This episode offers a poignant reflection on the emotional weight that the decks of the Victory still retain. Baines observes how visitors respond to these spaces onboard the ship, noting the evolving significance and the solemn atmosphere on the flagship. The plaque on the quarter deck is polished every morning by the Royal Navy crew to commemorate Nelson's death. Once a functional part of the ship, the purpose of the orlop was forever transformed by the events of Trafalgar. O'Brien explores how this quiet, confined area has become a site of reverence - not only for Nelson's final moments but also for the countless anonymous sailors who perished. These spaces onboard HMS Victory now stand as a powerful reminder of sacrifice, legacy, and the human cost of naval warfare.Listeners are immersed in the chaos of battle on October 21, 1805, with vivid accounts of Nelson's final moments, the ship's damage, and the emotional impact on the crew. The episode also reflects on the significance of HMS Victory as a national memorial, contrasting it with Trafalgar Square and other public monuments. This is more than a retelling - it's a journey into the heart of naval heritage, recorded on the ship that still carries Nelson's legacy.This episode is supported by the Society for Nautical Research, the Save The Victory Fund (STVF) and the Lloyd's Register Foundation.

From bad energy polices, open borders, crime and men in women's sports, Spanberger is the same woke nonsense that America voted out in 2024. Spanberger smirked when Earle-Sears confronted her about Jay Jones demented and disturbing text messages and refused to even look at Earle-Sears. Abigial Spanberger is a cunning politician only out for herself and Winsome Earle-Sears is here to serve the people of Virginia. Audrey Fahlberg broke the story on Jay Jones's homicidal fantasy. The story surrounding the text messages changed the race in Virginia and put Republicans in a place to sweep the election.

La batalla de Trafalgar, también conocida como el combate de Trafalgar, fue una batalla naval que tuvo lugar el 21 de octubre de 1805, en el marco de la tercera coalición iniciada por Reino Unido, Austria, Rusia, Nápoles y Suecia para intentar derrocar a Napoleón Bonaparte del trono imperial y disolver la influencia militar francesa existente en Europa. La batalla de Trafalgar se produce frente a las costas del cabo de Trafalgar, en Los Caños de Meca, localidad del municipio gaditano de Barbate. Dicha batalla naval está considerada como una de las más importantes del siglo XIX, donde se enfrentaron los aliados Francia y España (al mando del vicealmirante francés Pierre Villeneuve, bajo cuyo mando estaba por parte española el teniente general del mar Federico Gravina) contra la armada británica al mando del vicealmirante Horatio Nelson, quien obtuvo la victoria. En la actualidad, la céntrica plaza londinense de Trafalgar Square conmemora dicha victoria. Los acontecimientos históricos que precedieron a esta batalla se han de encontrar en el intento frustrado por parte de Napoleón de invadir las islas británicas, en el que la escuadra franco-española debía distraer a la flota británica y alejarla del canal de la Mancha para dirigirla hacia sus posesiones en las Indias Occidentales. Este plan de distracción fracasó, y se agravó con la consiguiente derrota de Finisterre (22 de julio de 1805). Tras esta derrota, la flota se dirigió al puerto de Cádiz, de donde zarparía el 19 de octubre hacia Trafalgar. La flota franco-española se vio bloqueada en Cádiz por Nelson, y en septiembre Napoleón ordenó a Villeneuve navegar a Nápoles para despejar el Mediterráneo del hostigamiento de los buques británicos, pero no obedeció esta orden, permaneciendo en puerto. A mediados de octubre, conociendo las intenciones de Napoleón de sustituirle por el almirante François Étienne de Rosily-Mesros y enviarle a París para pedirle cuentas por sus acciones, se adelantó a la llegada de su reemplazo y partió de Cádiz con la flota combinada el 18 de octubre. El total de 34 buques se encontró entonces con la flota de Nelson cerca del cabo de Trafalgar, y el 21 de octubre tuvo lugar un encuentro naval: la batalla de Trafalgar, donde la flota franco-española fue derrotada por la Armada Real británica. Nelson fue herido de muerte durante la batalla, convirtiéndose en uno de los más grandes héroes de guerra de Gran Bretaña. Villeneuve y su buque insignia, el Bucentaure, fueron capturados por los británicos junto con otros muchos buques españoles y franceses. Por su parte, el comandante Pierre-Étienne-René-Marie Dumanoir decidió huir con cuatro navíos en los primeros compases de la batalla. El almirante español Gravina logró alejarse del campo de batalla con parte de la flota, pero sucumbió meses más tarde por las heridas sufridas durante la batalla. Los barcos capturados por la flota inglesa fueron llevados hasta el puerto de Gibraltar. Sin embargo, la fuerte tormenta que se desencadenó en las aguas del estrecho pocas horas después de la batalla, hizo que algunos barcos, dado su malogrado estado, se fueran a pique en las costas gaditanas u onubenses ante la imposibilidad de resistir el remolque. Navíos como el Neptuno y el Santa Ana pudieron ser recuperados gracias a la acción de Julien Marie Cosmao-Kerjulien, quien regresó a aguas de Trafalgar con una flota de seis barcos dos días después. El viernes 21 de octubre de 2005, en el bicentenario de la batalla, se celebró en aguas de Trafalgar una ceremonia en el recuerdo de los caídos aquel día con representantes de España, Francia y Reino Unido. El entonces ministro de Defensa español José Bono arrojó al mar seis coronas de laurel desde el portaaviones Príncipe de Asturias, en un acto en el que fue escoltado por las fragatas francesas Montcalm y la británica HMS Chatham.

TTC's Donna Nelson discusses Trafalgar's new river cruise programme.

This year, it's all about travel brands making their entry into Europe river cruising. We’ve been surprised this year by the number of established names moving in to the Rhine, Danube and beyond: Celebrity Cruises, Trafalgar and National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions among them. With Lisa Fitzgerald, a river-cruise expert advisor and founder of Fitzgerald Travel, and river cruise editor Brinley Hineman, we’re exploring why each of these brands is approaching river, and how they’re doing it in different ways. We’ll also look at the popularity of emerging destinations around the world, and numbers from Viking, the biggest river cruise line. This episode was edited for length and clarity. Since it was recorded on May 23, more information has been published about Celebrity's foray into river cruising -- and stay tuned for even more.

In 1795 the Admiralty established the Royal Navy's Hydrography office, which became the world leader in charting the waters of the globe, as ships of the line sailed the oceans, pursuing their traditional enemy, the French. Treacherous waters were navigated with a skill that is quite breathtaking, and laid the groundwork, along with Trafalgar, for a century of domination of the waves. Joining today is historian and Royal Navy veteran Michael Barritt, author of Nelson's Pathfinders, himself a hydrographer, as he explains the growth of the discipline, and how it was used to help the great admirals of the navy including Collingwood and Nelson.

Le ministre de l'Enseignement supérieur, Philippe Baptiste, a dit que le terme Islamo gauchisme n'existe pas en tant que terme universitaire. Il s'est fait recadrer par Élisabeth Borne. Selon elle, il y en a partout dans la société, donc il y en a aussi dans les universités, selon elle. C'est un terme inventé pour discréditer les adversaires qui n'a de réalité juridique ni scientifique. Ainsi, Jad Zahab donne carte rouge à la ministre de l'Éducation nationale. Depuis le vote du loi Duplomb du 8 juillet qui réintroduit sous condition très stricte un insecticide de la famille néonicotinoïde, la France est prise d'un vent de folie. “Nous allons tous mourir empoisonnés” ; “Les députés qui voteront cette loi, voteront pour l'empoisonnement de vos enfants” ; “Ils auront les mains tachées de sang”... Ce sont des gens très sérieux qui le disent. Selon Géraldine Woessner, il s'agit d'une campagne d'intimidation qui s'appuie sur un argument d'autorité. En France, quand on vous parle des Britanniques, on vous ramène Jeanne d'Arc, Trafalgar, Water Law, mais tout cela, c'est la vieille histoire. L'amitié militaire franco-britannique existe déjà depuis un siècle et demi. Aujourd'hui, encore une fois, on la remet sur le devant de la scène. Selon le général Dominique Triquant, même si les Britanniques ne font plus partie de l'Europe, avec leurs armées, ils sont capables d'être unis à l'Europe. Du lundi au vendredi, à partir de 18h, David Pujadas apporte toute son expertise pour analyser l'actualité du jour avec pédagogie.Distribué par Audiomeans.

"Steeped in Roman heritage and swooned over as Britain's premier spa destination, Bath's architectural flourishes and all-encompassing grandeur underpins my love affair with the city. I recently reacquainted myself with its atmospheric charm in a whistle-stop romp around Blighty with Trafalgar's Real Britain tour. Adeptly helmed by travel director Selene, this is Trafalgar's fastest-paced UK tour, delivering a whistle-stop experience with some of Britain's most desirable destinations. If you're short on time but want to tick-off a swag of top-billing icons, it's a cracking option." Read Mike's full article here. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trafalgar es un personaje maravilloso, un viajero del espacio oriundo de Rosario, Argentina, que entre amigos, tomando café como loco, cuenta cómo es la vida en otros planetas, en otras sociedades que, como la nuestra, atraviesan formas diversas de entenderse y organizarse. Un de los libros más famosos de Angélica Gorodischer, quien nos regala en esta antología de cuentos de ciencia ficción la armonía perfecta entre costumbrismo y esplendor cósmico.

For today's episode in the history of bad ideas David talks to cultural historian Tom Wright about charisma, a term that often feels essential for understanding modern politics but which ends up obscuring far more than it explains. How did an old idea from Christian theology get used to explain the hold that political leaders have over crowds? Why is it so important not to confuse charm with charisma? What has made a word from early twentieth-century social science ubiquitous on twenty-first-century dating sites? And if Trump hasn't got charisma, then what has he got? Out now on PPF+: A bonus bad ideas episode in which David and Dan Snow talk about all sorts of ‘decisive battles' that weren't what they seem: Yarmuk, Hastings, Agincourt, Trafalgar, Warsaw 1920, Stalingrad, and more.

In today's episode about the power of bad ideas, David talks to historian and podcaster Dan Snow about the myth that wars are settled on the battlefield. Why are we so drawn to the idea of the decisive military showdown? Is Napoleon to blame? What are the forces that actually settle military conflicts? Plus: were Abba really so wrong that Waterloo won the war? Out tomorrow: A bonus episode in which David and Dan explore a range of battles to see what got settled and what didn't: Yarmuk, Hastings, Agincourt, Trafalgar, Warsaw 1920, Stalingrad.

TTC's Donna Nelson talks about Trafalgar's new river cruises

Napoléon Bonaparte, malgré sa volonté affirmée de soumettre l'Angleterre, n'a jamais concrétisé une invasion du Royaume-Uni. Pourtant, l'idée l'a obsédé durant plusieurs années, notamment entre 1798 et 1805. Alors pourquoi cette attaque n'a-t-elle jamais eu lieu ? Plusieurs raisons expliquent cet échec stratégique.Une volonté forte mais contrariéeDès son accession au pouvoir, Napoléon voit l'Angleterre comme le principal obstacle à son hégémonie européenne. Elle finance les coalitions contre la France, domine les mers et refuse tout traité durable. En réponse, Napoléon envisage une invasion directe des îles britanniques, projet baptisé « Opération Boulogne », avec des troupes massées sur les côtes françaises à partir de 1803. Près de 200 000 hommes sont entraînés pour traverser la Manche depuis Boulogne-sur-Mer.La supériorité navale britanniqueLe problème, c'est que pour envahir l'Angleterre, il faut traverser la Manche, et pour cela, contrôler la mer. Or, la Royal Navy domine les océans. Napoléon tente de ruser en imaginant un détour : attirer la flotte britannique vers les Antilles avec un jeu de diversion, puis ramener sa flotte en Europe pour sécuriser un passage. Ce plan complexe aboutit à la bataille de Trafalgar en 1805.L'amiral Nelson y inflige une défaite décisive à la flotte franco-espagnole. La supériorité maritime de l'Angleterre devient incontestable, et tout espoir de débarquement s'effondre. Napoléon comprend alors qu'il ne pourra jamais rivaliser sur mer.Une stratégie continentale de remplacementFace à cet échec, Napoléon change de tactique. Il choisit la guerre économique : c'est le Blocus continental, lancé en 1806, qui interdit à tous les pays européens sous influence française de commercer avec le Royaume-Uni. L'objectif est d'étrangler l'économie britannique. Mais cette stratégie se retourne contre lui, ruinant des économies alliées et poussant certains pays à la révolte, comme la Russie.Une impossibilité technique et politiqueAu fond, même si Napoléon était un stratège redoutable sur terre, il n'avait ni la maîtrise navale, ni les capacités logistiques suffisantes pour traverser la Manche face à la Royal Navy. De plus, l'opinion publique britannique, unie et protégée par la mer, n'a jamais montré de signe de faiblesse permettant une attaque surprise ou un soulèvement interne.ConclusionNapoléon n'a jamais attaqué directement le Royaume-Uni car il en était empêché par un mur naturel — la mer — et un rempart militaire — la flotte britannique. Ce projet abandonné signe l'une de ses rares limites stratégiques : le contrôle des mers lui a échappé, et avec lui, l'idée d'une conquête de l'Angleterre. Hébergé par Acast.

Today is all about travel brands making an entry into Europe river cruising. We’ve been surprised this year by the number of established names moving in to the Rhine, Danube and beyond: Celebrity, Trafalgar and National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions among them. With Lisa Fitzgerald, a river-cruise expert advisor and founder of Fitzgerald Travel, and river cruise editor Brinley Hineman, we’re exploring why each of these brands is approaching river, and how they’re doing it in different ways. We’ll also look at the popularity of emerging destinations around the world, and numbers from Viking, the biggest river cruise line. We also talk about Brinley’s trip on Riverside Luxury Cruises – this episode was recorded in mid-May, so that trip has already concluded, and we've included some of her reporting in the show notes. This episode was edited for length and clarity. Episode sponsor This episode is sponsored by the Globus Family of Brands. https://www.globusandcosmos.com At the end of this episode, stay on for a special, bonus discussion about the latest from the Globus Family of Brands between Camille Olivere, Globus' chief sales officer, and Mary Pat Sullivan, the executive vice president of marketing partnerships for Northstar Travel Group, Travel Weekly's parent company.

A political earthquake is underway as recent polls, even those historically skeptical, show a significant surge in Trump's approval ratings, sending shockwaves through the Democratic party. In this episode, I discuss how reputable polling outfits report unprecedented numbers for Trump, including surprising bipartisan approval, directly linked to rising economic sentiment. I also talk about the dire implications for the upcoming midterms, with historical data suggesting a potential "bloodbath" for Democrats, further exacerbated by growing calls for the party to address past deceptions regarding a previous administration's health and mental state. --If you wanna take advantage of this ECONOMIC BOOM, click on the link https://neoscdg.org/golden-age-summit or scan the QR code and get registered!*The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.

Mainstream media would have you believe that Trump's first 100 days were a failure—despite securing the border and strong economic gains. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the polling regarding Donald Trump's early 2025 presidency on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words,” and asks the question: Were pollsters reflecting public opinion, or manipulating it? “There were analyses after each of the 2016, the 2020, and the 2024 elections about the accuracy of polls, post facto, of the election. And we learned that they were way off in 2016. They said they had learned their lessons.  “They were way off in 2020. They said they learned their lesson. And they were way off in 2024. And why are they way off? Because liberal pollsters—and that's the majority of people who do these surveys—believe that if they create artificial leads for their Democratic candidates, it creates greater fundraising and momentum.   “ If you look at the polls that were the most accurate—Mark Penn was very accurate. He's a Democratic pollster. But especially, the Rasmussen poll and the Insider Advantage and the Trafalgar poll. … They have Trump ahead by anywhere from two to three points after 100 days.”

I propose to tell in non-technical and popular language the story of some of the most remarkable episodes in the history of sea power. I shall begin with the first sea-fight of which we have a detailed history—the Battle of Salamis (B.C. 480), the victory by which Themistocles the Athenian proved the soundness of his maxim that "he who commands the sea commands all." I shall end with the last and greatest of naval engagements, the Battle of Tsu-shima, an event that reversed the long experience of victory won by West over East, which began with Salamis more than two thousand years ago.I shall have to tell of British triumphs on the sea from Sluys to Trafalgar; but I shall take instances from the history of other countries also, for it is well that we should remember that the skill, enterprise, and courage of admirals and seamen is no exclusive possession of our own people.I shall incidentally describe the gradual evolution of the warship from the wooden, oar-driven galleys that fought in the Straits of Salamis to the steel-built, steam-propelled giants that met in battle in the Straits of Tsu-shima. I shall have something to say of old seafaring ways, and much to tell of the brave deeds done by men of many nations. These true stories of the sea will, I trust, have not only the interest that belongs to all records of courage, danger, and adventure, but also some practical lessons of their own. This is a collaborative reading.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Gav regrets nothing he said about Joffy or Burstow but we expect at least one to do something here because Sunlun/footy. ATTACK; Hull have had some decent results on the road but f*** that it's Hull we need to beat them. Should we use every attacking option here? It ain't over til we're down Trafalgar getting pissed again. All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #EFL #EFLChampionship #SAFC Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Also, Doflamingo reveals more of his history, and Trafalgar law, as usual, is irritated with Luffy. Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode! Wanna talk spoilers?

Nelson is one of the most well-known historical figures from British history. His leadership of the British fleet to victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, and his death in the same battle, rendered him a national hero for generations. However, Nelson was also embroiled in a huge scandal during his lifetime, due his passionate affair with Lady Emma Hamilton, and recently questions have been raised about his attitude towards slavery and the slave trade. Historian and co-host of The Rest is History podcast, Dominic Sandbrook has written a book for children about the life of Nelson as part of his Adventures in Time/ series. Here, he discusses the complexities of the man, and the challenges of writing history for young people, with David Musgrove. (Ad) Dominic Sandbrook is the author of Nelson: Hero of the Seas (Particular Books, 2024).

Although all kinds of tension brewed beneath the surface, the mid to late 19th Century saw a continued bonanza for Singapore. A prosperous combination of hard-working men and women, fearless entrepreneurs, and fortunes made in tin, rubber, and oil refining turned Singapore into the best thing to happen for the British Empire since Trafalgar, or maybe even the defeat of the Spanish Armada. World events, new technologies, and geopolitical shakeups all happened in such a way that Singapore benefited. Today's episode will take us up to 1942 and the fall of Singapore to the Japanese Army. Next time we'll see what happened after that.
