 FARA: From Fighting Nazi Propaganda to Modern Transparency: Colleague Kenneth P. Vogel explains that the Foreign Agents Registration Act was originally enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda in the United States before World War II; at the time, the Third Reich was paying well-connected American consultants to whitewash Hitler's image and keep the U.S. out of the war, operating without public knowledge, and Congress passed FARA to create transparency, requiring those paid by foreign principals to influence the U.S. government or media to register their activities, with the law remaining today the primary vehicle for accountability in foreign lobbying 1940 MAO

 Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. Today we welcome special guest Lauren Makler, Founder of Cofertility. In this episode of Fertility Docs Uncensored, the doctors sit down with Lauren Makler to explore why transparency is essential in modern egg donation. For years, donor conception carried an unnecessary layer of secrecy. Parents often felt shame discussing the use of an egg donor, and donor-conceived children sometimes internalized guilt or discomfort, feeling that the process was transactional, or that the donor was excluded from any meaningful connection. Lauren explains how the Cofertility model aims to reshape this narrative entirely. Prospective egg donors undergo extensive medical and psychological screening before being accepted. Those who qualify complete an extraordinarily detailed profile allowing families to choose a donor whose values, background, and goals align with theirs. The donor is empowered too since she keeps half of her eggs for future use. Only a limited number of families can match with each donor, and together, donors and recipient families determine their preferred level of ongoing contact. At minimum, recipients receive identifying information, but many matches opt for deeper communication, shared updates, or even in-person meetings over time. This thoughtful, relationship-centered approach helps ensure that donor-conceived children grow up with honesty, openness, and pride in their origin story. Transparency removes shame, strengthens family identity, and honors the donor's contribution in a meaningful, human way. At its core, every child's conception however it happens, should be embraced with joy, not secrecy. This podcast was sponsored by Cofertility.

As a 9th generation family farm, we recognize the need to improve agriculture at every level. We have worked in farming from hyper local sales to national distribution. There isn't one silver bullet for better food and ag, we need silver buckshot. The stakes are high, because everybody eats, so everybody depends on the 6 inches of topsoil beneath our feet. How do we have realistic conversations about food in America and acknowledge that we need to improve agriculture at every level.

James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, is facing sharp criticism over his response to the release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. Critics argue that Comer has publicly complained about the timing and scope of disclosures rather than welcoming transparency, despite his committee's stated mission. They say his rhetoric and actions suggest an effort to downplay or slow the release of information that could implicate powerful political figures, particularly within his own party, and that this stance undermines public trust in congressional oversight.The broader critique centers on the belief that the Epstein case represents a rare bipartisan demand for full transparency, driven by years of documented failures, sealed records, and alleged institutional protection. Observers contend that attempts by some Republicans to delay, minimize, or control disclosures risk permanently damaging their political legacies, especially if perceived as shielding former President Donald Trump or contributing to a wider cover-up. As additional records emerge and public pressure continues to mount, the argument holds that efforts to manage or contain the scandal are likely to fail, leaving lasting reputational consequences for those seen as obstructing accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Send us a textAaron unloads on the Air Force Special Warfare leadership with the fury of a thousand ignored NCOs. If you're wondering why morale is in the toilet and retention's circling the drain, look no further than the clown show running the pipeline overhaul. Instructors? Ignored. Functional managers?

This is a great policy change but did the change go far enough?Secondly, NAR failed to approve the required disclosure of referral fees in a real estate transaction.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Pam Meissner discuss:Aligning strengths with strategyAddressing operational challengesClarifying compensation and career pathsMaximizing long-term firm value Key Takeaways:Successful firm growth depends on matching personal strengths to business goals. Chasing clients or revenue alone does not ensure satisfaction or long-term success. Intentional planning creates a foundation for sustainable growth and fulfillment.Lawyers often face cash flow issues, staff management, and unclear compensation. These operational gaps can lead to stress and sleepless nights if unchecked. Recognizing and addressing challenges early safeguards both firm and personal well-being.Open conversations about pay and partnership tracks motivate legal professionals. Transparency fosters equity and encourages long-term commitment from team members. Clear structures help attorneys understand their role in firm growth and success.Profitability, efficient systems, and reducing single-owner dependency matter most. External guidance, such as fractional CFOs, can help firms overcome growth plateaus. Strategic planning ensures the firm remains valuable for exits or future opportunities. "Everybody wants more money, and they don't realize it comes with problems, and they don't realize that we all get paid for solving problems, but you have to pick the problems you're really good at solving, because if you're solving problems that you're not good at, you're going to be miserable." —  Pam Meissner Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with John Choate, co-founder of Apogee Travel, to discuss how the travel industry hides value, the illusion of price comparison, and how Apogee is disrupting the online travel agency model by turning every hotel booking into a charitable donation. Discover the truth behind loyalty programs, the commoditization of hotels, and how transparency and social good can reshape an entire industry. Four Key Takeaways: The Illusion of Comparison Shopping [00:41]John explains how consumers believe they are comparison shopping for hotels, but in reality, prices are controlled and nearly identical across platforms. The Birth of Apogee’s Value Model [06:55]The story of how a charity hotel stay and a conversation with Steve Wynn inspired the idea of using hotel profits for social good. Exposing Loyalty Program Devaluation [24:15]John breaks down how hotel loyalty programs manipulate point values, creating “value blindness” for consumers. How Apogee Travel Disrupts the Industry [32:05]Apogee’s unique model: every booking generates a donation to a charity of the traveler’s choice, at no extra cost, while still earning brand rewards points. Quote of the Show (34:20):"Most people think charity is emotional. In our model, it's structural. Travel's the largest overlooked fundraising engine in the world.

Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Scott Lurie, a Milwaukee-based investor, developer, lender, and syndicator who has scaled from single-family flips to $700M+ in AUM. Scott explains how discipline, conservative leverage, and a long-term mindset helped him not only survive but aggressively buy through the Great Recession—including a 410-unit acquisition for $9K per door. He shares why he focuses on value-add industrial and multifamily development today, how he underwrites and syndicates vacant industrial buildings, and why transparency and investor trust are more important than ever in 2025. Scott also breaks down his syndication philosophy, the pitfalls created by “cowboy” operators, and his belief that real estate success comes from 20 years of consistent, disciplined work.

Tara breaks down the explosive revelations surrounding illegal immigration, welfare fraud, and voter roll manipulation—all tied to recent statements from Donald Trump.

Dan Bongino, once loudly positioning himself as a crusader who would expose the truth about the Jeffrey Epstein files, has faced sharp criticism after declaring that he found no meaningful evidence of broader criminal networks or institutional involvement. After months of hyping “day one releases” and promising to blow open the case if he ever gained access, Bongino's public stance quickly shifted once he was in a position to review materials. His abrupt insistence that the case amounted to nothing more than the actions of a lone predator has fueled accusations that he folded under pressure and retreated from his earlier rhetoric. Critics argue that his reversal echoes a familiar pattern: loud outrage while cameras are rolling, followed by silence and procedural excuses once genuine accountability becomes possible.The backlash has been fierce among those who believed Bongino would expose government failures and powerful co-conspirators connected to Epstein. Instead, they accuse him of becoming indistinguishable from the very institutional voices he long condemned, defending official narratives rather than challenging them. Critics view his performance as a high-profile capitulation, arguing that he abandoned survivors and the public's demand for transparency by minimizing the scope of Epstein's network and suggesting there was nothing more to uncover. The sentiment among detractors is blunt: meet the new boss—same as the old boss.to contact me:bobbycapucc@protonmail.comsource:Dan Bongino Scrambles to Explain Epstein Files Redaction Email

The push for transparency in the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell saga has been a long, exhausting battle that has stretched across years of legal maneuvering, sealed records, and aggressive attempts to keep critical information hidden from the public. Survivors, journalists, and advocates have been fighting since well before Epstein's 2019 arrest to pry open documents and depositions that were locked behind layers of protection built by the wealthy and powerful. Even after Epstein's death, the release of records has been a slow, grinding process involving repeated court filings, appeals, and interventions by media organizations demanding access. Each victory has required enormous pressure, and every release has underscored just how determined institutions were to keep the truth buried.Instead of an immediate and full accounting, the information has arrived in tiny, frustrating increments — a few documents at a time, heavily redacted, and often released late at night or around holidays when public attention is low. The unsealing of court records, the limited release of flight logs, the deposition transcripts, and the gradual exposure of names tied to Epstein and Maxwell have all come in drips, not in the flood that victims and the public deserve. This piecemeal release has fueled suspicion that transparency is being carefully managed to protect powerful individuals rather than to reveal the full scale of the operation. After years of trickle-down disclosures, the public is still waiting for the complete truth — and the slow pace of unsealing only reinforces the perception that those who enabled Epstein expect to outlast the outrage rather than answer for their roles.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the wake of federal legislation which has clamped down on hemp, hemp usage and dispensaries (with attempts from the state, too), a bipartisan group of lawmakers are looking to protect those owners, employees and customers, though with new hoops added. Next, as the topic of data centers becomes more prevalent, so does the opposition of the people who want to know these projects will do for and to, their communities.

Welcome to Strive 26 part 2! - and if Part 1 shocked you, you better be sitting down for Part 2 because we are calling out the profoundly devious and corrupt PBCC leadership on a whole new series of scams, scandals and lies that would make a seasoned demon blush with shame. Lets start with Roddy Cox coaching the entire PBCC membership how to lie to the world at large, by cunningly pretending that ‘PBCC' means the cult's tiny corporate office, and not the organization as a whole. Then he has the eye-watering audacity to quote the Symington era mantra “We have nothing to parade, nothing to hide.” We proceed to UBT Orbit, who dictate and control every detail of members' travel and accommodation (It's not a cult…) and in exchange for overcharging your plane ticked by at least 300%, will assist you to your seat and give you a complementary cup of joe. Then we have the “brainwashing-denial brainwashing” – a bit of an oxymoron – where they “prove” that their children aren't brainwashed because they “only” go to church 7 days a week and 5 times on Sundays. We then review the spectacular fails of Bruce D Hales, from the NZ election disaster of 2005 right through to the bloody Australian election catastrophe of 2025. These pivotal events are curiously not mentioned in Strive26 – but given they have nothing to hide, and their sudden passion for Transparency and Accountability, they will no doubt be glad we rectified their accidental omission. Then we have the great OSG Money Laundering Scam Round 2, the brazen theft of the entire multi-billion dollar meeting hall portfolio, and last but not least, the $1.2 billion Vision Foundation AKA Global Endowment Fund scam – whose claimed $100 million profit has vanished like an unattended cookie in a daycare. Nothing to hide…nothing to hide…just keep repeating the mantra until you believe it's true.

About Dylan Papa:Dylan Papa is a seasoned healthcare technology executive with more than a decade of leadership experience at Zelis, where he has played a central role in driving commercial growth, transformation, and data-driven strategy. Now serving as Senior Vice President of Commercial Growth, he brings a strong track record of expanding revenue, shaping organizational direction, and guiding high-impact initiatives across the payments and cost-management ecosystem. Throughout his tenure, Dylan has held progressive leadership roles spanning growth and transformation, payments transformation, business insights and analytics, and business solutions—each one sharpening his expertise at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and financial operations. His career began in analytics and business development, giving him a grounded, operational understanding of the industry he now helps steer at a strategic level. Backed by a foundation in finance from Montclair State University, Dylan combines analytical rigor with a forward-looking mindset, making him a trusted leader in navigating complex healthcare challenges and scaling innovative solutions.Things You'll Learn:Providers increasingly want secure, simple, and expedited transactions supported by actionable data. This shift gives them more control while improving payer efficiency.Modernizing payments isn't just about speed; it's about giving providers a single, transparent view of all transactions across multiple payers. This visibility helps them reduce denials, identify payment discrepancies, and forecast revenue more accurately.Consumer expectations for transparency and personalized benefits are pushing healthcare toward more flexible, customized models. Younger generations especially demand clearer information and greater financial control.Fragmentation remains the biggest obstacle in modernizing healthcare payments, from legacy tech stacks to inconsistent treasury processes. Harmonizing these systems is essential for building a seamless, end-to-end experience.The next frontier is transforming payments from an administrative task into a strategic asset. When speed, transparency, and control converge, every stakeholder—payer, provider, and consumer—wins.Resources:Connect with and follow Dylan Papa on LinkedIn.Follow Zelis on LinkedIn and visit their Website.

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Republicans pushing solutions to America's cost-of-living problems, Great Britain scrapping jury trials for many criminal cases, and the approaching implosion of Social Security.First, they applaud Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy for highlighting that the cost of living is too high for many Americans, especially in housing, grocieries, and medical care. In his Wall Street Journal op-ed, Sheehy dismisses Democrats' strategy of pouring more money into every problem and instead calls for deregulation, health-care price transparency, and other market-based reforms.Next, they blast the British government for eliminating jury trials for defendants likely to face three years or less in prison if convicted. The excuse is that there is a huge backlog in British courts. Jim and Greg blast the lefties in the UK for this attack on a fundamental part of western justice and point to ways this change could easily be used to punish political opponents of the current government.Finally, they react to stark projections that Social Security could collapse in just eight years without serious reform. Both parties have ignored the problem for decades. The left will eventually want to raise taxes, and no one will want reduced benefits. Jim says Congress missed a good opportunity to help fix this problem twenty years ago. And he points out one other group to blame for the problem getting so bad.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.  Save 35% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout.  For a limited time, try OneSkin for 15% off with code 3ML at https://OneSkin.co/3ML — please support our show and mention we sent you!

"Sustainability, where you can, is always an important resource to go to first… This earth gives us such precious resources, and it's nice to maintain and take care of the earth as well for your children and children to come." —Ashley Berman  The most meaningful jewelry isn't bought, it's reborn. It carries stories, fingerprints, and memories that outshine anything new.

For jewelry designer Ashley Berman, the pandemic reshaped everything. When store shelves closed, she opened a new chapter, helping clients transform heirlooms into modern pieces that carry legacy and beauty in equal measure. Today, through Ashley Morgan Designs, she champions beauty built on story, craftsmanship, and sustainability. In this episode, Justine and Ashley unpack how to build a sustainable jewelry collection, what to ask before buying or recycling gold and stones, and the truth behind lab-grown versus mined diamonds, plus a look into her Holiday Market that celebrates local makers and meaningful design.   Meet Ashley: Ashley Morgan Designs is a Bay Area-based jewelry design company. Ashley Berman, the creative brilliance behind the growing studio, uses her ability to evoke emotion from jewelry to craft pieces of art that are both reflective of individual style as well as the embodiment of personal histories. Ashley's custom designs are intended for individuals who wish to express their own unique spirit and beauty. As opposed to fleeting trends, Ashley draws her inspiration from her clients' stories, traditions, and cultures, as well as the natural world, to create her personalized designs. As a trained goldsmith in San Francisco, Ashley challenges the status quo. She leverages traditional techniques to ensure that all of her unique jewelry designs reflect the beauty and confidence of the people they adorn.

Giving Tuesday has become a global moment to celebrate generosity. But for believers, it can be much more than a once-a-year opportunity to give. It can become a catalyst to cultivate a lifestyle of intentional, joy-filled stewardship all year long.Today, we explore how to give with both heart and wisdom—so that our generosity reflects God's purposes, not merely the moment. Joining the conversation is Al Mueller, founder and CEO of Excellence in Giving and former executive with Morgan Stanley and UBS.Beyond the Moment: What Giving Tuesday Really RepresentsFor Al Mueller, Giving Tuesday is more than a charitable trend—it's an invitation.“Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to begin acting on generosity,” he says, “but it's also a moment to pause and align with God's purposes.” Al reminds us of Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 9:7: “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart… for God loves a cheerful giver.”In other words, generosity is more than an impulse. It is an act of worship. Giving Tuesday can be a spark, but intentional stewardship is the flame that keeps burning throughout the year.Al summarizes biblical giving with a simple idea: “God gave us both a head and a heart—He didn't say pick one.”Wise stewardship holds both together:The heart expresses compassion, joy, and worship.The head evaluates impact, effectiveness, and alignment with God's purposes.Stewardship looks at the Kingdom outcomes we long to see and asks how we can best contribute to them. Some giving is planned, some spontaneous—but all of it can be intentional.Helping Donors Give With ExcellenceAt Excellence in Giving, Al and his team equip high-capacity givers—often those giving $1 million or more annually—to make well-informed, impactful decisions. They offer research, due diligence, and accountability that help donors shift from reactive to proactive giving.But these principles, Al emphasizes, are not reserved for the ultra-wealthy.“Everyone can do their own homework,” he says. “Everyone can ask good questions. Everyone can give intentionally.”Whether you're giving $50 or $50,000, evaluating ministries wisely matters. Al recommends starting with three core questions:What problem is the ministry trying to solve?What do they believe is the root cause of that problem?What measurable results have they seen?Healthy ministries provide clear reporting, measurable outcomes, and transparent leadership. They welcome questions and view accountability as part of discipleship.Key indicators to review include:Leadership stabilityDonor and staff retentionClear communicationTransparent financial practicesEvidence of life changeStrong ministries don't hide their results—they celebrate them.Red Flags: When to Think TwiceJust as there are markers of strong ministries, there are warning signs that should prompt caution:Vague vision without a clear planEmotional pressure or over-spiritualizing resultsLack of reporting or unwillingness to share outcomesOver-dependence on a single donorRepeated urgent appeals for fundsAl calls vague visions “ministry hallucinations”—dreams without blueprints. Just as you wouldn't build a house without plans, you shouldn't fund ministry without clarity.A Growing Trend: Collaborative GivingOne of the most exciting developments in philanthropy today is collaborative giving—donors pooling resources to make a larger, more strategic impact.Pooling resources:Helps ministries secure larger grantsReduces duplicationSaves ministries' valuable timeStrengthens unity within the body of Christ“This model lets donors and ministries accomplish something bigger together,” Al explains.No donor wants to micromanage, and no ministry seeks to be controlled. But accountability doesn't mean control—it means clarity.Al puts it this way: “Accountability is information given, not control taken.”Trust grows when ministries offer clear plans, measurable results, and honest reporting—what Al calls “a form of blessing” to donors.The Next Generation of GiversYounger donors give differently than their parents do. They are:More global in perspectiveMore results-orientedMore experiential—they want site visits and direct engagementMotivated by conviction rather than obligationPassionate about transparency and impactAl believes this next generation will reshape Christian generosity—mainly as significant wealth transfers occur in the coming decades.Al concludes with a powerful insight: there is a meaningful difference between being generous and being a steward.In the first century, a steward managed the household, finances, and fields on behalf of the master. The steward's job was simple: to know the heart of the master and act accordingly.Stewardship today means:Recognizing God owns it allSeeking His desires for His resourcesGiving with discernmentAiming to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”Generosity is beautiful—but stewardship is a calling.Growing in Intentional GenerosityWhether you're giving on Giving Tuesday or cultivating lifelong generosity, the call is the same: give with joy, wisdom, and purpose.If you want to explore tools to help you give more strategically, you can learn more at ExcellenceInGiving.com.

In Episode 6.3 of The CEO Podcast, Scott De Long, Ph.D., and Vince Moiso explore how culture shapes organizational success. They discuss culture as a living system that evolves with each new hire and business shift, requiring leadership to nurture and align it with core values. Scott explains that culture happens whether leaders manage it or not; it's how things get done within the company. Vince adds that failing to direct culture leads to misalignment and toxicity. Both stress that true culture management requires clarity in vision, mission, and values across all levels. They conclude that culture isn't a cost but the container that makes sustainable performance possible. A strong, aligned culture fosters communication, reduces turnover, and builds lasting engagement. Key Takeaways: Culture exists with or without leadership; intentional direction makes the difference. Alignment between personal and organizational values drives sustainable success. Investing in culture pays off through engagement, retention, and performance. Key Insights: Culture evolves continuously; leaders must shape it deliberately. Misaligned values are the root of toxic workplaces. Communication defines and sustains company culture. Hiring for cultural fit prevents future misalignment. Engaged employees lead to happier customers and stronger results. Culture building should involve all team levels, not just leadership. Cross-functional collaboration strengthens cultural understanding. Influence, not control, sustains healthy organizational dynamics. Transparency and empathy foster trust in the workplace. Leaders should ask whether employees see the culture the same way leadership does.

One of the most essential conversations we've had — on authoritarianism, influence campaigns, and what it takes to defend democracy. In this ICYMI release, Corey revisits his conversation with Anne Applebaum — Pulitzer Prize–winning historian, staff writer at The Atlantic, and one of the world's leading experts on modern authoritarianism. Anne explains how autocrats collaborate across borders, why propaganda spreads so easily, how economic complicity in the West has empowered illiberal regimes, and what ordinary citizens can actually do to strengthen democratic culture. If you're new to TP&R thanks to Podbean, Overcast or were recommended this program by a friend, this conversation is the perfect introduction: rigorous, accessible, global in scope, and grounded in the belief that democratic values are worth defending.

We visit Basel Dalloul at the Dalloul Artist Collective to discuss the genesis of the Dalloul Art Foundation and the mission of the new artist collective. A technologist and lawyer by training, Basel shares his family's journey into collecting art and the vision his father had for a Pan-Arab art collection in Beirut. They discuss how Arabism failed politically, but that culturally, the art from the region shows a great deal of sync and kinship, with artists empathizing with their Arab brethren. Central to the discussion is the role of art as an archive of history. Basel highlights the importance of Arab art as a reference site and how connecting artists from Morocco to Iraq reveals common themes that some may find inconvenient to tell. The conversation then shifts to the need to decolonize the art world, critiquing the tendency to celebrate Western art and seek validation from Western curators. Basel challenges the routine belief that Arab artists or art professionals are "not competent or good enough". He also addresses the broken global gallery system, which often dictates terms to artists and unfairly takes up to 50% of an artist's take. The mission of the Dalloul Artist Collective is to shift focus from the art to the artist, acting as an artist management agency to empower and educate the artist community. 0:00 Introduction2:12 The Vision for the Dalloul Art Foundation: Pan-Arab Art3:36 Relationship to Art Growing Up5:55 Shifting from Western to Arab Art Collecting8:45 Failure Is Not An Option10:47 Authenticating Art and The Lack of a Reference Site for Arab Art12:53 Organizing the Single Largest Private Collection of Modern Contemporary Arab Art15:05 The Kinship of Arab Culture17:57 Artists as Archivists of History19:46 Beirut: A De Facto Cultural Hub With No Taboos22:54 Critiquing the Celebration of Western Art Over Arab Art25:57 Dalloul Artist Collective: Focusing on The Artist27:18 The Broken Global Gallery System32:11 The State of Art Collecting in The Arab World35:56 Artists Basel Dalloul Adores38:02 The Need to Educate the Arab Youth on Arab Artists38:48 The Story Behind Ayman Baalbaki's Moulatham41:26 Empowering Artists with Transparency and Business Savvy Basel Dalloul Founded the Dalloul Art Foundation in 2017 to manage and promote his father's (Dr. Ramzi Dalloul) vast collection of modern and contemporary Arab art. At around 4000 pieces it is the largest collection of its kind in private hands. The collection includes but is not limited to paintings, photography, sculpture, video and mixed media art. Basel has had a passion for art since he was very young, inspired by both his mother and father, whom are also passionate about art in all its forms. Basel also founded NOOR Group in 2000 in response to the Egyptian government's announced goal of becoming the hub of the information technology (IT) industry in the Middle East. As Chairman and CEO, he has set the overall direction of NOOR, bringing the first region-wide, full-service IT development program to the area. He holds a Bachelor of Science in finance from American University and a Juris Doctor and MBA from Georgetown University, both in Washington, DC. Basel also studied electrical engineering and computer science at Rice University in Houston, TX, and undertook comparative studies of American and British common law and procedural law at Oxford University in England. He co-taught a course in entertainment law and the Internet at Georgetown University Law Center and is a frequent speaker and seminar leader at IT conferences worldwide. Connect with Bassel Dalloul

A few weeks ago, Governor Beshear "found" $9 million in order to shore up a funding shortfall in the senior meals program.The administration blamed the Trump administration for the sudden deficit, but in a legislative hearing, the Beshear administration admitted that they had projected the shortfall months earlier and hadn't bothered addressing it. Instead, they expanded the program.In the same legislative hearing, the chair requested some financial documents from Beshear's budget director, and he refused to turn them over. This prompted a fiery response from Rep. Petrie.Also, FCPS continues to dominate headlines as it faces four major looming issues related to budgeting, union fights, eminent domain, and proposed policies that attack free speech.

Get My Brand Masterlist⁠ https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/ Get Water Guide https://drchristiangonzalez.com/water-pdf-request-form// Episode Description You trust the water bottle label that says "pure" and "natural spring." But a shocking new investigation reveals most brands can't prove it. Dr. Christian Gonzalez reached out to 19 of the biggest bottled water companies with one simple request: show proof your water is tested for PFAS, heavy metals, microplastics, and industrial solvents. The results? Fourteen brands disappeared or flat-out refused to respond. Only FOUR companies could stand behind their claims with real data. This isn't about being picky, it's about protecting your hormones, liver, and nervous system from daily toxic exposure. When you drink contaminated water multiple times a day, you're compounding exposure to chemicals that disrupt your entire system. The hidden toxins lurking in "clean" bottled water: • PFAS (Forever Chemicals) linked to hormonal imbalance, reduced sperm quality, and thyroid disruption • Microplastics found in up to 93% of bottled water globally, leaching endocrine-disrupting phthalates and BPA • Heavy metals like arsenic and lead from contaminated sources or outdated bottling systems • VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) including dry cleaning solvents and gasoline additives from industrial runoff • Toxic packaging that makes the bottle itself part of the problem In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez exposes the 2025 Bottled Water Audit and reveals: • The full list of 19 brands tested—and which ones refused to respond • The ONLY 4 bottled water brands that passed with transparency and clean testing • Why major names like Evian, Fiji, Spindrift, and Liquid Death couldn't (or wouldn't) provide proof • The marketing manipulation behind "pure" and "spring" water labels • How to identify truly clean water and protect yourself from daily contamination • The endocrine disruption, liver burden, and nervous system damage caused by chronic water toxin exposure This episode goes beyond hydration. It's about taking back control of what you put in your body every single day, and demanding transparency from an industry built on marketing mystique, notreal science.
