Investigative journalists and True Sunlight Podcast co-hosts  Mandy  Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — (reluctantly) discuss the latest (and perhaps most pathetic and reaching) strategy from Dick Harpootlian in his quest to get Alex Murdaugh's murder charge overturned. Cousin Eddie's text messages to Alex! Messages that literally don't help Alex's case one bit.  Also on the show … why is the legacy media helping Russell Laffitte advertise his Palmetto State Bank stock?  Plus listeners are outraged by the 2024 recording of South Carolina assistant attorney general Heather Weiss telling Scott Spivey's family why she “can't” charge Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams with killing Scott. And they should be!  Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about why the prosecution's reasons for not charging Boyd and Williams are weak, ill-informed and dishonest and why the citizens arrest law in South Carolina would even apply in this case.  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “New text messages fuel Alex Murdaugh's push for new trial” - Fox News, July 15, 2025

Are you adjusting your TSP contributions correctly for maximum growth this year? In this episode of All About FERS, John answers a common (and essential!) question: "With the new TSP contribution limits for 2025, how much should I contribute each pay period to stay on track, maximize my match, and prepare for retirement?" Let's break it all down so you can make smarter decisions with your TSP and avoid costly mistakes, such as front-loading your contributions.

Send us a textBuckle up, aspiring warriors and pipeline survivors – the Ones Ready crew is back with a savage takedown of military myths, featuring Tac P legend Alex Chiapetta, who joined the Air Force at the ripe old age of 27 (gasp!) and somehow didn't shatter like fine china in the pipeline. Spoiler: He crushed it, thanks to mobility stretches, protein overloads, and bedtime at 7:30 PM – because who needs video games when you're building an empire? Alex spills the tea on ditching desk jobs during COVID, dodging Army officer boards like a bad date, and why Tac P's strategic battlefield wizardry hooked him harder than a Hellcat obsession (pro tip: Skip the 28% interest muscle car, kids). From land nav in the woods (no, not that kind) to JTAC brain-melting chaos, he exposes how the pipeline's "easier" rep is total BS – it's all rucking, radios, and refusing to be that washout marching lines at Medina. But here's the real mic-drop: Alex played the long game, stacking VA loans for free rent via house hacks, maxing TSP like a boss, and snagging Air Force Cool certs while you were blowing TDY cash on nonsense. Now he's bailing for Texas McCombs MBA, networking with vets like a pro, and plotting to buy businesses from retiring boomers. Oh, and don't get him started on getting fat post-military – he's aiming for "hot dad" status, not "retired slob." The crew throws in pool training plugs, fat-shaming roasts (RIP Tony's BMI), and why your network is your net worth. If you're grinding the pipeline or plotting your escape, this episode's your no-BS blueprint to level up – or end up checking IDs at the gate. Hell yeah, brother... or nah?Key Takeaways:Age Ain't Nothing But a Pipeline Myth: Alex joined at 27, outlasted cocky 18-year-olds by prioritizing recovery, mobility, and sleep – turns out discipline beats youth every time. Pipeline Real Talk – It's Brutal, Brainy, and Doable: From rucking hell to land nav nightmares and JTAC multi-tasking madness, the Tac P grind builds unbreakable confidence if you shut up and grind. Military Benefits = Wealth Hacks: Stack TSP, snag VA loans for multi-unit houses (live rent-free, idiots), and use Air Force Cool for free certs – Alex turned four years into generational weSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: 1Ready ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pro...

In this episode, Brad shares insights from recent dairy science meetings and dives deep into total serum protein (TSP) levels in calves—a key indicator of successful colostrum management and passive transfer of immunity. He reviews data from multiple studies, including work by Dave Casper in Illinois and a Midwest study on beef-on-dairy cross calves. The results show improvements in TSP levels over time, but highlight that a significant number of calves—especially male and crossbred calves—still arrive at calf ranches with low TSP and signs of poor health.Brad also shares findings from University of Minnesota research, including a 20-year dataset from Waseca involving nearly 6,000 Holstein calves, showing correlations between TSP, growth rates, and calf survival. He questions the rigid cutoffs for TSP and emphasizes a more nuanced view based on outcomes like average daily gain and long-term milk production.The episode wraps with details on two upcoming calf care workshops in Minnesota this summer (July 29 in Rochester and August 5 in Eden Valley) where farmers, consultants, and educators can learn about colostrum management, TSP testing, pain mitigation, and more.Calf Care Workshop - Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Rochester, MN Calf Care Workshop - Tuesday, August 5, 2025, Eden Valley, MNQuestions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Eric shares how modern tools like Bolt and Cursor are redefining what it means to be a founder, turning product managers, designers, and even marketers into full-stack startup builders.They explore how AI coding agents are changing team composition, cycle times, and what the real founder skillset looks like in 2025.In this episode, you will:Discover why reality-based iteration—not ideas—is the true startup superpowerLearn how AI tools like Bolt give non-technical founders real shots on goalUnderstand the evolving role of the technical cofounder in the AI eraCompare top-down and bottom-up AI workflows (e.g. Bolt vs Cursor)Avoid common pitfalls when prompting AI tools to build production-grade appsExplore how startup team roles are converging—and where creative tension still mattersHear the origin story of Bolt's breakout growth and what made it an overnight success (after 7 years)The Pact Honor the Startup Podcast Pact!

The number of so-called TSP millionaires is on the rise. As of June, more than 171,000 participants in the Thrift Savings Plan have accounts totaling over $1 million. That's a little over 2% of all TSP accounts across the board. It also means roughly 24,000 more feds have crossed the million-dollar threshold in the last three months. Most TSP millionaires have spent decades investing in their accounts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
