Caleb Weiss of the Bridgeway Foundation and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies examines the evolution of African jihadist movements. Weiss details the case of Jamal Chima, a Ugandan Guantanamo Bay alumnus who transitioned from Al-Qaeda to recruiting for the Islamic State Central African Province (ISCAP) in Kampala. Weiss explains that East African court systems frequently experience "catch and release" cycles due to strict evidentiary demands for terrorism cases. The segment also addresses the kidnapping of missionary Kevin Rideout by the Islamic State Sahel Province. Weiss describes how these groups raise funds through lucrative ransoms, utilizing regional coordination hubs like the Al-Furqan and Al-Karrar offices to move capital globally to active cells in regions like Afghanistan. Finally, he notes that eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar has leveraged anti-jihadist operations to secure Western backing. (5)

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Latrease Price-Gistard. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to educate listeners on the mortgage industry, highlight the role and benefits of working with an independent mortgage broker, and provide practical advice on home financing options, credit challenges, and programs that support homeownership. It also shares Latrease’s entrepreneurial journey and lessons learned. Key Takeaways Background and Career Path Latrease has a finance degree and started in investment operations in 1999. Transitioned from auto financing and co-owning a car dealership to mortgage lending. Became an independent mortgage broker in 2022 after being laid off during rising interest rates. Role of an Independent Mortgage Broker Holds her own license and partners with multiple lenders to offer tailored loan products. Advocates for borrowers to ensure they get the right product, not just approval. Specializes in helping first-time buyers, self-employed individuals, and those with unique challenges. Home Financing Insights Reverse Mortgages: Typically for seniors 62+, often used by those 75+ with equity and limited retirement funds. Provides tax-free cash without monthly payments; debt settled upon sale or refinance. Zero Down Payment Programs: Offers up to 3% for down payment, attached to the mortgage; other programs provide up to 5% for down payment and closing costs. FHA 203K Program: Allows buyers to finance home purchase and renovations in one loan—ideal for fixer-uppers. Credit Challenges Programs exist for credit scores as low as 500, but require higher down payments (10–20%) and result in higher interest rates. Latrease consults and provides “what-if” scenarios to help clients improve credit over time. Entrepreneurial Lessons Mistakes: Starting without enough capital and a strong pipeline; economic timing matters. Advice: Build capital, secure a solid client pipeline, and understand market conditions before going independent. Notable Quotes On independence:“As a broker, you serve as that advocate for your borrower to make sure they’re getting the right loan product.” On reverse mortgages:“The beauty of it is there are no monthly payments going back to the institution. The debt is paid off when the home is sold or refinanced.” On credit challenges:“Programs go as low as 500 credit score, but those borrowers need 10–20% down.” On entrepreneurial advice:“Make sure you have strong capital and a solid pipeline before stepping out on faith.” On perseverance:“It’s all about follow-through. It’s all about your dream and whether you want to make it happen.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alan Mikhail describes how, as the English seized New Amsterdam in 1664, Anthony and Grietje transitioned into respectable property owners who aged into the colony's social fabric. Mikhail argues that these individuals, alongside long-resident enslaved figures like Mary Angola, should be recognized as the true founders of New York City. (11)1889

Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Roots of Transcendentalism. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Bruce Nichols discusses Ralph Waldo Emerson's return to Concord, Massachusetts, where he transitioned from a Unitarian minister to a public intellectual. Emerson became a "loadstone" for radicals like Henry David Thoreau, who initially improved his family's pencil business before focusing on nature and philosophy. Emerson's dissent sparked a broader intellectual movement. 91929 HAWTHORNE'S WAYSIDE
Send us Fan MailLinda Hunsberger, a Minnesota mom who was shocked to learn that her son identified as trans, spoke with Liz Collin on her podcast. She shared her story publicly for the first time —and warned other parents to avoid being left in the dark while children are preyed upon.“There really is a silent majority that is not for this, but you wouldn't think that just by hearing what the media is saying,” Hunsberger said.

We're joined by Tyler Balliet, a wine pro who has spent 20 years changing the way Millennials and Gen Z experience wine. (Remember Rosé Mansion? Yeah, she started that.) She's also one of the few out trans women in the wine industry. We chatted with Tyler about how her transition–and hormone replacement therapy, specifically–has changed the way she experiences wine, and revealed to her how the industry is failing to make products with women in mind. Tyler told us her take on the "Gen Z is drinking wrong" hysteria, the fascinating history behind the war on sweet wine, and why this June will be an especially meaningful Pride month for her.

Jeff Eveleigh served his country. Then his country came for his family.A Canadian military veteran, Jeff was arrested during the freedom protests—for refusing a mask. But that was only the beginning. While he fought government overreach in the streets, his own daughter was caught in a system he believes is designed to sideline parents. Despite his objections, despite his concerns, medical professionals moved forward with a gender transition plan that shattered his relationship with his daughter—and his trust in every institution he once believed in.This is not a story about politics. It is a story about parental authority erased, medical ethics abandoned, and a government that no longer pretends to care what mothers and fathers think. Jeff recounts the phone calls, the treatment recommendations he was powerless to stop, and the moment he realized his daughter was being treated as a project of the state rather than a child of her parents.From COVID mandates to gender ideology to the collapse of conservative leadership willing to fight back, Jeff's story is a warning. Canada is not an anomaly. It is a blueprint. And if parents do not wake up, their children will be next.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

In AI Valley, Gary Rivlin explains how OpenAI transitioned from a $10 million nonprofit endeavor to a multi-billion dollar enterprise. The immense cost of specialized chips and million-dollar salaries for machine learning talent rendered the original nonprofit model unsustainable. Consequently, Altman orchestrated a "for-profit subsidiary" to attract massive capital, notably from Microsoft, which invested $1 billion in 2019 and later an additional $10 billion. Rivlincharacterizes Altman as a charming and brilliant strategist who now prioritizes winning the global AI race over the company's original safety mission. This shift underscores the intense competition to become the next trillion-dollar company in the AI sector. (2/8)1903 SANTA BARBARA
Recently-appointed Department of Energy Undersecretary Kyle Haustveit says that when people talk about transitioning on energy sources, they aren't talking about reality. "We've never transitioned from any fuel source in the world in the history of mankind," he said on this episode of Plain Talk, recording with us from the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in Bismarck. "We consume more wood and dung or biomass today than we ever have before. Same with coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal." "The charts are all up and to the right," he added. Going forward, we need to start by asking what we need from our energy? Is it low prices? Low carbon intensity? "What do you have available in your region? How do we prioritize responsible development to maintain affordable, reliable, secure energy for the people that need it most?" he said we should be asking. Also, he says we need to grow to meet new demands for power. "For years, it's been far too easy to stop things and far too hard to start building things," he said, crediting President Donald Trump's administration with changing some of that. Also on this episode, Supreme Court Justice Jerod Tufte and Cass County State's Attorney Kim Hegvik join to celebrate North Dakota's drug courts or, to use the new terminology, treatment courts. These are specialized proceedings in the criminal justice system that still prioritize accountability for crimes, but also focus on helping people solve problems. They were called drug courts because they started out focusing on addiction, though these days there are lots of different types, including some specializing in the specific issues veterans might face. "Right now we run most of these at close to capacity, and so we have a pretty good population of people that have shown that they are high-risk, high need," Justice Tufte said. "So these aren't the lowest level, first-time offenders. These are people that by and large would be incarcerated if they weren't in a drug drug court or a treatment court program." Hegvik and Tufte said the treatment courts save the state money by keeping offenders out of jail, and they also reduce recidivism.
