Howdy & aloha! We are HERE, you are THERE, and you're now rockin' with the best.

This week on the Free Outside Podcast, I am joined by Jeff Eklund, an “ordinary Jeff” calling in from North Carolina who quickly proves he is anything but ordinary. We kick things off with a Jeff quiz show where every answer is a different Jeff, and it immediately derails into the best kind of chaos.Jeff shares his winding path into running, including randomly ripping a 3:16 at Chicago in his 40s, qualifying for Boston (and skipping it because life happened), then stepping away before coming back strong after knee replacements. He talks about what it felt like to start running again, why he refuses to accept “don't run” as a life sentence, and his current mission to break two hours in the half marathon while stalking the competition on Strava like a proper veteran.Then we shift into the second life arc, Jeff and his wife selling basically everything during COVID, moving into a 27-foot Airstream, and traveling to 47 states. We talk minimalism, Facebook Marketplace hustle, getting “pulled around” the country by life, and the underrated places that surprised him most, from Rhode Island to Arizona to the hidden gems of Nebraska.Somewhere in the middle, Jeff goes full historian and takes us deep into his obsession with Theodore Roosevelt (the strenuous life, Rough Riders lore, the teddy bear origin story, and meeting a TR impersonator in North Dakota that turns into a legit hike). We also get a side quest on Fred Harvey restaurants, Harvey Girls, and old-school American road culture, plus a list of roadside oddities that feels like a hallucination timeline from mile 20 of a marathon.We wrap with a quick masterclass in sales (relationships, listening, and handling rejection), lessons Jeff wishes he knew when he was younger, and a perfect cherry on top story about Brooks customer service, a surprise signed Scott Jurek book, and the greatest accidental Instagram mix-up of all time.If you like running, reinvention, road trips, American history tangents, and a guest who can turn one question into six stories, this one is for you.Chapters00:00 The Jeff Quiz Show Begins04:52 Jeff Eklund's Journey into Running07:49 Overcoming Challenges and Finding Motivation10:50 The Impact of Family on Running13:45 Rediscovering the Love for Running16:42 Transitioning to Life in an Airstream19:28 Selling Everything and Embracing Minimalism22:23 Exploring the Open Road and Human Connection24:56 Theodore Roosevelt: A Personal Connection26:29 Meeting the Impersonator: A Unique Encounter28:47 The Legacy of Theodore Roosevelt30:23 The Teddy Bear Origin Story31:40 The Strenuous Life Philosophy33:40 Fred Harvey and the Railroad Era37:24 The Harvey Girls: Pioneers of the West39:07 Underrated States: Personal Reflections41:34 Hidden Gems in the Midwest45:20 Exploring Unique Destinations48:13 The Art of Selling50:29 Reflections on Youth and Education55:10 Customer Service and Personal Connections01:00:18 Celebrating Ordinary HeroesSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

Watching and listening to ourselves can be tough, but you have to practice. Those nerves and adrenaline only show up in real situations, and working through them is how you get better." "For those of you who are speakers, please listen to this: 'You're never as great as they tell you you are, and you're never as bad as they tell you you are. You're usually somewhere in the middle.'" "We need to become the CEOs of our own career and really take it upon ourselves to be our own best advocate. Even the best manager and the best team who truly want you to do well are ultimately most concerned with themselves. So you need to take it upon yourself to make sure your hard work gets seen." "If a tree falls in a forest and no one's there to hear it, did it make any sound? If you do a bunch of great, amazing, hard work but no one's there to see it, did it happen?" "If hard work is the baseline, how do we differentiate ourselves from it? We have to start advocating for ourselves and making sure our work is known." "You have to figure out what's the best use of your time. Anybody who wants to monopolize your time has to be willing to pay for it." "If we're not able to invest in our personal relationships, no matter how great we are in business, it will never be the best it can be, because what we apply in our personal lives bleeds into our business lives." "Work on relationships with people you know will never be able to help you. Do it on purpose. If you know you're building a relationship you'll never get anything from, they'll know your motives are pure." "Relationships are like a bank account. Every time you give, you make a deposit. When you ask for something, that's a withdrawal. You never want the account to be overdrawn when you have to make that withdrawal." "Some of my favorite career advice is: over prepare, but don't over plan."

Have you ever lost everything you thought you were? Today's guest went from Division 1 soccer player to overdosing on pills, to building a $10 million supplement company, to losing it all to predatory financing, to rebuilding a seven-figure business in six months. Neal Thakkar's story is raw, real, and one of the most powerful conversations I've ever had on this show.Neal is an entrepreneur performance strategist and founder of Integrity First Funding, helping entrepreneurs secure $50,000 to $250,000+ in business funding. But what makes his story so compelling isn't just what he's building now, it's everything he's survived to get here. We're talking about the painful truth of what hitting your first million actually feels like, why winning in business doesn't feel like winning at all, the hidden danger of taking extreme ownership (you're also accepting you might be irresponsible), why he gained 90 pounds as a bodybuilder to physically transform his identity after addiction, and how he went from owing $2,000 just for waking up in the morning to helping other entrepreneurs avoid the same predatory funding trap that cost him everything. Neal shares the leadership lesson most entrepreneurs miss (the difference between leading people and managing tasks), why meditation an hour a day for seven years changed everything, and why when things started going downhill again, he'd lost that practice.This episode will move you, inspire you, and force you into deep reflection about what you're really chasing and why. We're talking about ego death, identity shifts, the messy process of sitting with yourself, and why you can do anything but you can't do everything - the most painful pill for ambitious people to swallow.0:41 Introduction01:28 Neal's Background and Early Struggles02:56 The Turning Point: Overcoming Adversity04:45 The Power of Self-Reflection and Transformation12:09 Addiction and Recovery: A Personal Battle14:56 Rebuilding and Redefining Success19:09 The Role of Values and Identity in Success31:49 From Bodybuilding to Entrepreneurship41:45 The Birth of a Business: Neal's Entrepreneurial Journey42:50 Journey into the Supplement Industry43:34 The Role of Curiosity in Entrepreneurship47:58 The Reality of Winning in Business48:50 The Importance of Patience and Persistence56:31 Leadership and Management Challenges01:04:31 Transitioning to a New Venture01:07:27 Reflections and Advice for Entrepreneurs01:20:17 The Hidden Costs of AmbitionConnect with Neal: InstagramWebsite To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

They discuss the brothers' whimsical approach to Christmas, which emphasizes giving and the joy of togetherness over materialism.

Host GG Hawkins sits down with filmmaker Charlie Polinger to unpack the making of his debut feature, The Plague. Polinger discusses his transition from theater to film, the personal childhood memories that shaped the story, and how embracing chaos—rather than controlling it—became central to his directing process. From casting an electrifying ensemble of young actors to shaping dread through sound design and editing, the conversation explores how specificity, vulnerability, and trust can turn a coming-of-age story into psychological horror. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest discuss… Transitioning from theater directing to feature filmmaking Drawing from childhood memory to create visceral, psychological horror Why a boys' water polo camp became the perfect contained setting Casting and directing a large ensemble of young actors Letting location do the storytelling heavy lifting Embracing chaos on set instead of fighting it Building anxiety through sound design and post-production rhythm Hands-on collaboration in the edit and score development Advice for emerging filmmakers on making work consistently Memorable Quotes: “I just wanted to create a really kind of visceral, subjective, psychological experience of being a 12-year-old boy.” “There's strategy built into the cruelty and the violence and getting away with it—and that felt really ripe cinematically. “The space is sort of like a character in this film.” “The more I put out into the world, the more that the world gave back.” Guest: Charlie Polinger Resources: The Plague EP by Lexi Tannenholtz on Cannes first-timers: A First-Timer's Guide to the Cannes Film Festival Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

Today, Ben is joined by Michael O'Rourke—Apex-based financial advisor, RICP®, and former environmental engineer—for a rich and human-centered conversation about what it really takes to transition from earning a paycheck to generating reliable retirement income. Drawing on years of advising and his work with the Retirement Income Style Awareness (RISA) framework, Michael shares how differences in temperament, risk tolerance, and even marital dynamics shape the way people experience retirement. Their discussion moves beyond spreadsheets into the deeper architecture of a good retirement: understanding longevity risk, discerning lifestyle desires, preparing for late-life care, and shaping a plan that honors each person's unique “money language.” Together, they explore the surprising reality that adding more guaranteed income can actually expand long-term growth potential, why stability in retirement is more about peace of mind than products, and how thoughtful planning becomes a form of stewardship—one that frees people to enjoy their later years without fear of running out. Grounded in both practical experience and a respect for the human person, the conversation offers a vision of retirement where income supports vocation, strengthens marriages, and gives families the confidence to live generously in the years ahead.Key Takeaways:• The “Four L's” of retirement—longevity, lifestyle, legacy, and liquidity—provide a helpful framework for evaluating retirement readiness.• The Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) designation equips advisors to plan across the full arc of retirement, not just investments.• Risk capacity changes over time, and retirees may become either more risk-averse or more flexible depending on health, lifestyle, and family dynamics.• Advisors serve as guides, not dictators, helping clients navigate decisions while honoring their personal values and preferences.• Compatibility between client and advisor matters; shared values, communication style, and trust can make or break the relationship.• Ultimately, good retirement planning is a stewardship exercise, giving retirees a sense of peace, purpose, and permission to enjoy the years ahead without fear of running out of money.Key Timestamps:(03:39) – Transitioning into Retirement Income(07:15) – The Four Ls of Retirement Planning(20:09) – Balancing Safety and Flexibility in Retirement(27:59) – The Role of Annuities in Retirement Planning(29:09) – Adapting Investment Strategies to Client Needs(35:37) – Finding the Right Financial AdvisorKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Website: https://www.hsiadvisors.net/ Mentions: Are You a Stock or a Bond?: Identify Your Own Human Capital for a Secure Financial Future by Moshe A.

You follow Lindsay Manfredi's wild, non-linear path from merch table to main stage, and she shows you exactly how saying yes, showing up, and outworking your fear can change your entire trajectory. You hear how she moved to Florida at twenty chasing a rock-star dream, became an instant Cold superfan, and eventually landed the bass gig through a Twitter message that felt too unreal to be real. She talks candidly about law-of-attraction moments, why every Cold song has to matter, and where the line sits between authentic human creativity and formulaic or AI-generated music. Through it all, she reminds you that most fears never materialize and it takes the same effort to believe in yourself as it does to doubt yourself. Always Be Performing. From there, you shift into the discipline behind her artistry: preparing for tours months in advance, running the set nearly every day, and over-preparing so the stage actually feels fun. She shares how making the road feel like home keeps her grounded, and how her book “The Girl Who Cried Love” came from losing her sense of self and rebuilding true self-worth, not just confidence. You explore dropping habits that don't serve you, reconnecting with what you really value, and even why revisiting Mad Men taught her to only compete with herself. Finally, you wrap with a deep dive into in-ear monitor strategy, why a great mix beats great gear, and the small decisions that make performing sustainable for the long haul. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 513 – Monday, December 22nd, 2025 December 22nd: National Cookie Exchange Day Guest co-host: Linsday Manfredi NAMM coming up!

In a landmark interview on The Ash Said It Show, Tom Buchsbaum, co-founder of Austin Craft Spirits, detailed the origin story of a brand that is systematically redefining the American spirits landscape. Transitioning from tech innovation to precision distilling, Buchsbaum has positioned Austin 101 at the intersection of Texas Terroir and Environmental Stewardship. The Genesis: Solving the "Bourbon Fatigue" Market Gap Buchsbaum's moment of conviction came from identifying a "White Space" in the spirits industry. While the market was saturated with heavy, oak-forward Bourbons and spicy Ryes, there was a profound lack of high-clarity, grain-forward spirits. Austin 101 was engineered to bridge the gap between premium vodka and traditional whiskey. By utilizing the Light Whiskey designation, Buchsbaum's team distills at a higher purity—precisely between 160 and 190 proof—resulting in a spirit that retains the complex esters of the grain without the aggressive wood tannins of a virgin barrel. The Science of Texas Terroir: Steam Distillation The brand's "flavor-first" philosophy is powered by a custom-engineered 42-foot steam-jacketed column still. Unlike traditional direct-fire stills that can scorch the mash, Austin 101's precision thermal control operates below 210∘F. The Mash Bill: 100% Texas-grown non-GMO white corn, red winter wheat, and malted barley. The Profile: This low-temperature extraction preserves the signature butterscotch, vanilla, and stone fruit notes that have become the brand's sensory hallmark. Sustainability: The Circular Whiskey Economy Austin 101's commitment to Green Luxury is anchored in their Circular Aging Process. The distillery exclusively utilizes recycled American white oak barrels sourced from local Texas craft bourbon makers. This sustainable finishing serves two critical functions: Ecological Preservation: It drastically reduces the carbon footprint associated with new timber harvesting. Flavor Refinement: By using "seasoned" wood, the whiskey undergoes a mellow maturation that highlights the grain's natural sweetness rather than masking it behind heavy char. Future Trajectory: Scaling the "Texas Light" Global Category Small-Batch Precision at Scale As Austin 101 expands its distribution footprint beyond the Texas border, the brand employs a data-driven distillation model to ensure consistency. From the approachable Austin 85 to the award-winning Austin 111 Cask Strength, the scaling process remains rooted in small-batch integrity and rigorous quality control. The Next Frontier of Innovation Buchsbaum teased a roadmap of experimental releases designed to push the boundaries of the Light Whiskey category. Enthusiasts can expect: Grain-Specific Expressions: Leveraging high-rye mash bills for a "Light but Bold" profile. Experimental Cask Finishes: Utilizing the unique Texas climate to accelerate interactive aging in diverse secondary vessels. 2035 Vision: Defining Texas Whiskey Globally The long-term vision is clear: Austin 101 aims to be the global benchmark for Texas Light Whiskey. Within the next decade, Buchsbaum anticipates Light Whiskey becoming a mainstream pillar of the spirits industry, with Austin 101 leading the charge through its unique blend of technical precision, authentic provenance, and sustainable distilling. Web: https://www.austin101whiskey.c... About the brand: Austin 101 stands as a testament to geographic authenticity. Eschewing the shortcuts of mass-produced spirits, the distillery anchors its identity in Texas Terroir. Every drop is forged from a proprietary mash bill of 100% locally sourced grains, including non-GMO white corn, soft red winter wheat, and malted barley. By maintaining a strict grain-to-glass pipeline, Austin 101 ensures that the spirit remains an honest reflection of the Hill Country's agricultural heritage. The brand rejects artificial additives and chill-filtration, opting instead for a transparent expression of the raw ingredients. Precision Crafting: The Art of High-Proof Refinement The hallmark of Austin 101 is its precision distillation process. While conventional whiskeys often lean on heavy barrel char to mask imperfections, Austin 101 utilizes a high-proof distillation method (reaching between 160 and 190 proof) to isolate the most elegant flavor compounds. This technical rigor allows for the surgical removal of harsh congeners, leaving behind a clean, sophisticated "heart" of the spirit. The result is a structural complexity rarely found in American whiskey—a profile characterized by: Bright Top Notes: Notes of wildflower honey and stone fruit. Mid-Palate Depth: Rich layers of creamy butterscotch and Madagascar vanilla. A Refined Finish: A signature "light" exit that is exceptionally smooth, favoring subtle almond and spice over aggressive wood tannins. Visionary Sustainability and Circular Aging Austin 101 redefines luxury through the lens of environmental stewardship. Central to its mission is a pioneering Circular Aging Program. By maturing the spirit in recycled American white oak barrels, the distillery significantly mitigates the environmental impact of new timber harvesting. This sustainable approach is not merely an ecological choice but a flavor-driven one; the seasoned oak allows the delicate nuances of the Texas grain to flourish without being overwhelmed by the intense char of a virgin barrel. From localized grain procurement to water-conscious production, Austin 101 represents a new era of eco-conscious distilling, proving that a premium whiskey can be both world-class and world-respecting.

Police Publish and Quickly Delete Photos of Rob Reiner's Son Being Cuffed for Slaughtering Parents, Give No Explanation Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of liberal activist and famed director Rob Reiner, has been arrested and charged with the brutal murder of his parents. The LAPD Gang and Narcotics Division published dramatic photos of Nick's handcuffed arrest on Instagram on Monday, but quickly deleted them without explanation. Rob Reiner, 78, known for classics like The Princess Bride, Spinal Tap, and When Harry Met Sally, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home on Sunday afternoon. The New York Post reports: Nick Reiner, whose face is blurred out, is seen being forced to the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, according to one photo. Another snap showed law enforcement pushing the suspect against the front of a squad car. In the caption, the unit only identified the man as “a double homicide suspect.” The arrest was made by US Marshals with the assistance of the LAPD's robbery homicide division, according to the post. An LAPD spokesperson declined to comment when asked why the force's gang and narcotics unit deleted the arrest photo shortly after it was published. The since-deleted photos: Nick, who has long battled severe drug addiction starting in his teens, co-wrote and starred in the 2016 semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, directed by his father, which chronicled a young man's struggles with substance abuse and rehab. Insiders report that Nick “really resented” his father and “hated himself for not being as successful,” amid ongoing family tensions. The night before the murders, Rob and Nick reportedly got into a “very loud argument” at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, loud enough for other guests to notice.

TAKE A LISTEN https://twitter.com/RealSLokhova/status/2000919590449394156?s=20 Real Texas Conservative  The tragic deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele on December 14, 2025, have cast a somber shadow over Hollywood, prompting reflections on legacy, loss, and the lingering scars of political division. In response, President Donald Trump’s Truth Social post on December 15, 2025 – framing their passing through the lens of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) – has ignited controversy. Yet, when examined against the backdrop of Reiner’s decade-long barrage of vitriolic rhetoric against Trump, the statement emerges not as callous, but as an appropriate blend of pointed satire, genuine sympathy, and a timely concern for mental health. This piece builds an ironclad case for its fittingness, rooted in factual history, psychological insight, and legal precedent. To understand the appropriateness of Trump’s words, one must first confront the unyielding hostility Reiner directed at him since 2015. Reiner, celebrated for directing classics like “This Is Spinal Tap” and “The Princess Bride,” transformed into one of Trump’s most vocal detractors after his presidential candidacy. In a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Reiner labeled Trump a “con man” and “dangerous,” warning he would erode democratic norms. This escalated over the years. By 2018, Reiner tweeted comparisons of Trump to Hitler, accusing him of fostering fascism and white supremacy. His 2024 documentary “God & Country” explicitly tied Trump’s influence to Christian nationalism, portraying it as a threat to American democracy. Reiner’s social media feed became a relentless stream of attacks, calling Trump a “pathological liar,” “sociopath,” and “existential danger” in posts that amassed millions of views. Even in 2025, shortly before his death, Reiner urged boycotts of Trump-related events, framing his re-election as apocalyptic. These were not isolated jabs but a sustained campaign, often personal and inflammatory, that Reiner himself admitted stemmed from deep-seated outrage. This history of antagonism, predominantly initiated by Reiner, sets the stage for why Trump’s response is not only defensible but proportionate. Far from escalating the feud posthumously, Trump’s post acknowledges Reiner’s talents – “a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star” – while attributing the tragedy to TDS, a “mind-crippling disease” fueled by “raging obsession.” This framing isn’t baseless invention; it’s grounded in credible psychological analysis. Critics have questioned the timing of Trump’s post, issued just a day after the tragedy, as potentially too raw or opportunistic. However, this immediacy is precisely what makes it authentic and effective, aligning with Trump’s longstanding style of direct, unfiltered leadership in a 24/7 news cycle where narratives solidify within hours. Historical precedents abound; consider how President Lincoln addressed critics’ deaths or political losses with prompt wit during the Civil War, using fresh moments to foster national introspection and prevent distorted legacies. Similarly, Trump’s swift response cuts through emerging media spin – already framing Reiner solely as a heroic anti-Trump voice – by injecting balance and psychological truth right when public discourse peaks. Delaying would risk seeming calculated or detached, whereas this timing underscores sincerity, especially paired with the post’s sympathetic close. In essence, it’s not haste but strategic candor, transforming grief into a teachable moment on division’s dangers before emotions calcify. Transitioning from personal history to broader insight, TDS has been recognized by mental health experts as a manifestation of intense political polarization leading to real psychological strain. Psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, in analyses shared on platforms like the Mark Simone Show, described TDS as rooted in “mass hysteria,” where individuals project anxieties onto a political figure, resulting in paranoia, chronic stress, and potential health declines. Research in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology supports this, linking partisan hatred to elevated cortisol levels, anxiety disorders, and weakened well-being. Trump’s reference to TDS isn’t mockery; it’s a diagnostic observation, highlighting how Reiner’s fixation – evident in his own words – might have contributed to personal tolls, especially amid reports of familial strife surrounding the deaths. By raising this, Trump shifts the narrative from vendetta to vigilance, urging awareness of how ideological obsessions erode lives. Moreover, the post’s satirical edge aligns with a storied tradition of political commentary, making it intellectually apt rather than insensitive. Trump employs hyperbole – “driving people CRAZY” amid America’s “Golden Age” – to underscore the irony of Reiner’s paranoia against tangible achievements like record economic growth, Middle East peace accords, and energy independence during his administration. This mirrors Jonathan Swift’s exaggerated proposals in “A Modest Proposal” or Abraham Lincoln’s witty rebukes of critics, using humor to expose societal flaws without literal malice. Legally, such expression is shielded by the First Amendment; the Supreme Court’s ruling in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell affirms that satirical opinions about public figures, absent provable falsehoods, are protected speech. Trump’s “reportedly due to” phrasing acknowledges speculation, ensuring it remains opinion, not defamation. What elevates the statement to appropriateness is its undercurrent of grace amid past unkindnesses, including Trump’s rare direct engagement with Reiner pre-tragedy despite the instigations. The post concludes with “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” This isn’t perfunctory; it’s a sincere extension of sympathy, humanizing both parties and transcending the feud while modeling reciprocity in an era of unrelenting acrimony. Trump’s words match rhetoric’s intensity yet cap it with compassion and a mental health caveat, turning potential gloating into a nudge toward understanding division’s toll. In conclusion, Trump’s response is ironclad in its fittingness because it reciprocates a decade of Reiner’s attacks with measured satire, validates psychological realities, and prioritizes sympathy over score-settling. It doesn’t diminish the tragedy but illuminates division’s costs, encouraging reflection.

They had their own police. They had their own everything, but you'd have to ask that question really to the school, not to the FBI. We came in after the fact, and the FBI will do a good job, but they came in after the fact,” he said.

Still, some lawmakers seek to amend the bill further, which would then require House passage before landing on the President's desk. Burchett: Big vote tonight was the NDAA, National Defense Authorization Act, and it was $900.6 billion. There’s money in there for, of course, Ukraine, $800 million total, and some other things, money in there for recognizing an Indian tribe out of North Carolina— has nothing to do with national security— Syria, money, Iraq. But we just got to quit this stuff. Somebody's, America’s got to start paying attention. Trump didn’t even ask for that. You’ve got the war pimps that push for this stuff. And they always will tell you, Oh, it’s, “Burchett, man, they’re gonna spend all that money here buying those missiles.” You know, is that what we’re basing our votes on is they’re going to buy implements to kill other people on? I’m all for getting rid of our enemies, but this is just too much, way too much, and things are just not what they appear. We need to wake up. I voted no. Over 100 Democrats voted to pass this.

The remaining commands: Indo-Pacific, Cyber, Special Operations, Space, Strategic, and Transportation. A senior defense official on the urgency: “Time ain’t on our side, man. The saying here is, ‘If not us, who, and if not now, when?'” The plan aligns with Trump’s national security strategy declaring that “the days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over.” Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel expressed concern: “The world isn’t getting any less complicated. You want commands that have the capability of heading off problems before they become big problems.” Congress has required the Pentagon to submit a detailed blueprint before any changes can take effect.

The need for accurate information to fight crime is essential. After a review of almost 6000 reports and the interview of over 50 witnesses, it is evident that a significant number of reports had been misclassified, making crime appear artificially lower than it was. The uncovering of these manipulated crime statistics makes clear that President Trump has reduced crime even more than originally thought, since crimes were actually higher than reported. His crime fighting efforts have delivered even more safety to the people of the District. The conduct here does not rise to the level of a criminal charge. However, it is up to MPD to take steps to internally address these underlying issues.

JD Vance Points Out the Consequence of the Senate “Blue Slip” Veto of Judicial Nominees It was passed by Congress on May 13, 1912, and ratified on April 8, 1913 The 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution grants Congress the authority to impose and collect income taxes without the need to apportion them among the states or base them on census data. constitution.congress.gov It was passed by Congress on July 2, 1909, and ratified on February 3, 1913. all of this is an outcome of the 17th Amendment, which stopped the state legislatures from having control over their senators.  Under the original constitutional framework, the Senate was designed to represent the interests of the state, as the Senators were appointed by state legislature, not popular votes.  The Sea Island assembly destroyed this cornerstone when they triggered the 17th Amendment. Repeal the 17th Amendment, and just about everything in federal government changes. Machiavelli said, “It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”  A prescient and oft repeated quote that is pertinent to the situation. When our founders created the system of government for our constitutional republic, they built in layers of protection from federal control over the lives of people in the states.  Over time, those protections have been eroded as the federal bureaucracy has seized power.  One of the biggest changes that led to the creation of the permanent political class was the 17th Amendment. Our founders created a system where Senators were appointed by the state legislatures.  In this original system, the Senate was bound by obligation to look out for the best interests of their specific states.  Under the ‘advise and consent‘ rules of Senate confirmation for executive branch appointments, the intent was to ensure the presidential appointee -who would now carry out regulatory activity- would not undermine the independent position of the states.  .When the 17th Amendment (direct voting for Senators) took the place of state appointments, the perspective of ‘advise and consent' changed.  The Senate was now in the position of ensuring the presidential appointee did not undermine the power of the permanent bureaucracy, which is the root of power for the upper-chamber. Senate committees, Homeland Security, Judiciary, Intelligence, Armed Services, Foreign Relations, etc. now consists of members who carry an imbalanced level of power within government.  The Senate now controls who will be in charge of executive branch agencies like the DOJ, DHS, FBI, CIA, ODNI, DoD, State Dept and NSA, from the position of their own power and control in Washington DC. In essence, the 17th Amendment flipped the intent of the constitution from protecting the individual states to protecting the federal government. Seventeenth Amendment- “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures. When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.” (link)   The biggest issue following the passage of the 17th Amendment became Senators who were no longer representing the interests of their state.  Instead, they were representing the interests of the power elite groups who were helping them fund the mechanisms of their re-election efforts. A Senator only needs to run for re-election every six years.  The 17th Amendment is the only amendment that changed the structure of the Congress, as it was written by the founders. Over time, the Senate chamber itself began using their advice and consent authority to control the executive and judicial branch.  The origination of a nomination now holds the question: “Can this person pass the Senate confirmation process?” source: theconservativetreehouse.com https://twitter.com/j3669/status/2000683161273897213?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2000952036238746070?s=20 https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2000671858417422538?s=20   is going to save the GOP, AGAIN.

In this episode, we examine what actually happens when crypto markets break — how leverage builds beneath the surface, liquidity disappears, and liquidation cascades turn volatility into systemic failure. Doug Colkitt, a quantitative trader and DeFi builder whose experience spans both traditional finance and crypto market structure. Doug began his career on Wall Street at Citigroup before moving into high-frequency trading at Citadel during the 2008 financial crisis. He later built and traded his own systems across futures, volatility products, and international equities, including running a major market-making operation in Turkish stocks. Today, Doug focuses on crypto and DeFi infrastructure, working with perpetual futures, liquidation mechanics, and exchange design. We discuss why traders still get wiped out when they think they're hedged, how liquidation cascades accelerate, and what recent market failures reveal about leverage and market structure under stress.
