A Canadian combat veteran, Kelsi Sheren, joins Allie to expose how Canada's taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying program is targeting the most vulnerable: veterans, the disabled, the mentally ill, the poor, children, and even babies. Kelsi shares shocking firsthand stories of veterans being offered death instead of care, explains how MAID quietly expanded from terminal illness to non‑terminal conditions, and details the financial incentives driving doctors, institutions, and advocacy groups she calls a “death cult.” They also connect the dots to the United States — naming the states where assisted suicide is already legal, the role of groups like Compassion & Choices, and how churches and religious leaders are being pressured to accept euthanasia as “compassion."

Joe Kent Resigns Over Iran. Hegseth is Losing It. More than 200 Troops Wounded Now. Drones Hit US Embassy in Baghdad. WBC: USA vs…Venezuela. QB Dante Moore Sets A Good Example on Mental Health.  On a wild and weird St. Patrick's Day, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Trump's expanding war in Iran and his shocking talk about “taking Cuba,” and explains why once you kick a hornet's nest, the hornets—not Trump—decide when it's over. From 50,000 U.S. troops in harm's way, growing drone threats, and a widening conflict across the Middle East, to MAGA insiders breaking ranks like Joe Kent and an unraveling Pete Hegseth, Paul calls out dangerous weakness at the top, a feckless Congress, and the newest inductees into the 2026 Chickenhawk Club. No guest, no spin—just Paul, like your political pint of Guinness, giving you the independence, information and integrity you won't get anywhere else. Paul also focuses on the human cost of war: more than 200 wounded troops in seven countries, grieving Gold Star families like Cheryl Simmons, and the vital work of helpers like TAPS and Bonnie Carroll supporting survivors long after the cameras are gone. He connects that pain to a powerful story of a young quarterback opening up about depression, using his platform to fight stigma and prove that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.  From St. Patrick's Day in New York and Dropkick Murphys on the playlist, to mental health, March Madness and a packed slate of upcoming guests like Ken Casey, General Mark Hertling, Seth Bodner, Tim Mak and more, this episode will help you stay informed, stay engaged—and stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Vikings Sign Star Veteran Punter Johnny Hekker --- A Northern Digital Production

On August 26, 2021, an ISIS-K terrorist attack killed 13 American service members and wounded many others at Abbey Gate outside Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan. Scores of Afghan civilians were also killed and wounded. Nine of the American service members killed that day were U.S. Marines from G Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines. Their company commander was then-Captain Geoffrey Ball.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Major Ball takes us through the chaos the company found when it arrived in Afghanistan on August 19. He tells about the heroic efforts of his unit and many others to establish as much order as possible among the many thousands of people desperate to reach the airport and leave Afghanistan before U.S. forces withdrew.Major Ball then walks us through the terrorist attack and the horrific toll it inflicted upon his company. He also shares what impact the explosion had on him and the details the amazing work of his company's Navy corpsman and other medics to save and stabilize those who were badly hurt.Finally, Ball tells us, in detail, about the service members who made the ultimate sacrifice at Abbey Gate, who they were, and what he appreciated about each one of them.

Robert Pape, a political scientist at the University of Chicago, has been writing about war for decades, including in his book Bombing to Win: Air Power and Coercion in War (Cornell University Press, 1996). In our conversation, we step back from the immediate conflict in Iran to reflect on what can be called our Age of War. We are in an era of chronic political violence, including in the United States, Pape notes—what he views as a Hobbesian period in global history. And there is not necessarily, he says, an end in sight. Robert A. Pape is Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago specializing in international security affairs. Veteran journalist Paul Starobin is a former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week and a former contributing editor of The Atlantic. He has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and many other publications. His most recent book is Putin's Exiles: Their Fight for a Better Russia (Columbia Global Reports, 2024).

He Is So Racist. Noem Perjury Charges? 6 More American KIA Identified. Cuba's Electrical Grid Collapses. Rep Andy Ogles is a Hateful Bigot. Stars and Stripes the Latest Target. Oscars & March Madness.  Donald Trump is a runaway train, and we're all along for the ride. In this urgent solo “Manosphere Monday” briefing, Paul Rieckhoff rips into Week Three of Trump's war in Iran, the total blackout in Cuba, and a stunning failure of imagination from both parties and much of the media as casualties mount and forever war becomes the plan, not the exception. From the lonely circuit breaker role of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, to the growing cyber battlefield where the lights go out before the bombs drop, Paul breaks down how Trump is going “all gas, no brakes,” why allies still matter, and how the human cost of this war is already immeasurable for Gold Star and surviving families here at home. He calls out the politicians cashing in on conflict, the Congressmen openly attacking Muslim Americans, and the Pentagon and Wall Street players treating war like one more business opportunity. But this episode isn't just about outrage, it's about action—and about redefining what real leadership and real manhood look like in a dangerous time. Paul spotlights the quiet courage of our allies, the sacrifice of fallen service members, and the inspiration of America's Paralympic sled hockey gold-medal run, alongside cultural flashpoints from the Oscars to the World Baseball Classic and March Madness. He draws a sharp contrast between Trump's war on the press and the work of truth-tellers like Stars and Stripes, Ukrainian filmmakers, and independent journalists risking everything to stand up to Putin and authoritarianism. If you're one of the 45% of Americans who now identify as independent—or independent-curious—and you're looking for straight talk, hard questions, and a plan to fight back against extremism from all sides, this is your show.

Have you ever wondered why you keep finding yourself in the same relationship patterns, no matter how hard you try to change? It's almost as if, despite our best intentions and awareness, we're drawn to the familiar—even if it's painful. The fear of uncertainty trumps the discomfort of what we know, leaving many stuck in cycles of repeated conflict, unmet needs, and unclear intentions. In this episode, listeners are guided through the origins of these repeating patterns, from early attachment experiences to later life trauma, and how they shape the template for adult relationships. The conversation explores the power of both individual and relational healing, offering practical strategies to update old habits, develop emotional intelligence, and communicate needs in ways that foster clarity and connection. If you're ready to step out of old cycles and into more intentional, empowered relationships, this episode breaks down the tools and insights you need to begin that journey. Dr. Molly is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles with 16 years of experience in psychotherapy, research, and teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels. She specializes in couples therapy and reproductive mental health, with a particular passion for supporting high-achieving women, non-traditional couples, LGBTQ+ individuals, BIPOC, and Veterans. Dr. Burrets also serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Marriage and Family Therapy Department at USC and has been featured as a relationship expert in TIME, Vogue, CBS, HuffPost, and more.   Episode Highlights 05:47 Why we repeat relationship patterns and the power of the familiar. 09:18 How early childhood attachment and trauma shape our relationships. 11:49 The dual paths of healing: Individual and relational growth. 16:35 Practicing healthy responses to triggers in relationships. 18:16 Developing self-regulation skills and navigating relationship conflict. 21:34 The value of vulnerability and facing uncomfortable outcomes. 26:50 Communicating intentions and building trust when trying new behaviors. 30:14 Navigating needs, fears, and the importance of reasonableness in relationships. 33:34 Finding and expressing your voice: Moving from silence or aggression to assertiveness. 35:42 The role of resentment and envy in recognizing your needs. 39:50 Balancing individual responsibility with relational needs and self-care. 44:00 The importance of emotional intelligence and practicing self-connection.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Reflect on recurring relationship patterns and notice any familiar dynamics, rather than judging or shaming yourself for them. Acknowledge how your early-life experiences and attachments shape your current relationship behaviors—awareness is the first step toward change. If you notice unmet needs or frustration, pause and bring curiosity to your reactions instead of defaulting to blame or criticism. Practice pausing when triggered; take a deep breath, notice sensations in your body, and consider a more thoughtful response. Communicate vulnerably and clearly with your partner, directly sharing your feelings and needs rather than masking them with anger or withdrawal. Invite support—let loved ones or professionals know you're working on new habits and ask for feedback or guidance as you practice. Cultivate self-care rituals (like morning journaling or meditation) that help you regulate your emotions and connect with yourself. Remind yourself that you don't have to be "fully healed" to be in a relationship; embrace growth as a continual, relational process.   Mentioned Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free guide)   Connect with Dr. Molly Burrets Website: drmollyburrets.com Instagram: instagram.com/drmollyburrets

5. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. Nathaniel Greene saved the Continental Army from collapse at Valley Forge by stabilizing the food supply as quartermaster. The veterans of this ordeal began to see themselves as an "aristocracy of virtue" committed to the necessity of a strong federal government. Figures like John Laurens envisioned the revolution as a crusade to end slavery, viewing it as the purest expression of the cause. Furthermore, the Continental Army was a genuinely integrated force, with African Americans making up 8-10% of the troops and serving in combat units at a level not seen again until the KoreanWar.

In this video, combat veteran and advocate Kelsi Sheren responds after a Toronto Raptors content creator publicly attacked her online for speaking out about MAID in Canada.What started as a social media argument quickly exposed a much bigger issue: how Canada's euthanasia laws are expanding and why raising concerns about Medical Assistance in Dying is becoming increasingly controversial.MAID was originally introduced for terminal illness, but the program has expanded significantly. Today the debate includes chronic illness, disability, and even the potential expansion of MAID to mental illness.In this episode, Kelsi Sheren breaks down:• What MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) actually is
• Why the MAID debate in Canada is becoming so heated
• The ethical questions surrounding assisted dying laws
• Why critics say Canada's euthanasia program is expanding too quickly
• The online clash with a Toronto Raptors content creatorThis isn't just internet drama.It's part of a much larger conversation about ethics, healthcare policy, mental health, and how societies decide questions of life and death.Whether you support MAID or oppose it, this discussion matters.Canada is now at the center of a global debate about assisted dying laws and the future of medical ethics.Watch the full episode and decide for yourself. - - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@thekelsisherenperspectiveInstagram -  https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack:  https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY  - http://brassandunity.com

Welcome back to The Connected Leadership Bytes. In today's archive episode, Andy is joined by Ben Brabyn, a former Captain in the Royal Marines, former CEO of the renowned London tech company Level39, and a pioneer who helped build one of the world's first crowdfunding platforms. Drawing from his unique career journey—spanning military service, investment banking at JP Morgan, and tech entrepreneurship—Ben shares invaluable insights into how network structures actually work. Andy and Ben explore the surprising similarities between military and corporate networks, how to navigate deep uncertainty through contingency planning, and why radical simplicity is the secret to getting your network to advocate for you. Ben also introduces the concept of the "Conveyors of Confidence"—the unsung heroes who serve as the cultural glue in any successful organisation. Key Takeaways from This Episode: 1. Listening is the Ultimate Unifying Skill: Whether you are leading Royal Marines, navigating an investment bank, or building a tech startup, the most critical networking skill is the ability to listen. Using your network to gather information, analyse it, and extract wisdom—not just data—is what drives success across all sectors. 2. Veterans Bring a "Comfort with Uncertainty": The military isn't just about shouting orders; it's a highly collaborative environment that trains leaders to be comfortable with ambiguity. Veterans bring a learned habit of "contingency planning"—constantly analysing the "what ifs" and fallback positions—which is an invaluable asset for civilian companies facing rapid change. 3. Identify Your "Conveyors of Confidence": Every organisation has people who act as the cultural backbone (similar to Non-Commissioned Officers in the military). These individuals might not bring in the big sales, but they are the "collective memory" of the company. They listen to everyone—from top executives to the cleaning staff—and build the horizontal and vertical trust that holds teams together. 4. Complex Messages Do Not Travel: If your 30-second elevator pitch is packed with intense, complex information, third parties will never pass it on. The best listeners are often the best simplifiers. To truly leverage your network, you must create a simple message that anyone can understand and enthusiastically share.

War reveals who people are—the best of us and the worst of us. In this special episode, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff takes you inside his fiery appearance on MSNBC's Deadline White House with Nicolle Wallace, sounding the alarm about Trump's reckless march toward war with Iran, the extremism driving today's culture wars, and the urgent need for real leadership and accountability. Fresh off hits on NewsNation and Stephen Colbert, he explains why this could actually be one of the most unifying moments in recent American history—even as the drumbeats of war grow louder in the Middle East and chaos spreads at home, with opposition to a new war in Iran rising from NFL legends like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed to conservatives like Newt Gingrich and unlikely critics like Megyn Kelly and Steve Bannon.​ Rieckhoff digs into how Trump and his allies have crossed into every part of American culture—sports, entertainment, even Spongebob—and why the backlash matters, from the growing popularity of opposing ICE to a broad public rejection of another Middle East war and the central role of independents—now roughly 45% of the country—in defending core American values. He goes deep on the stakes for veterans and military families, including alarming new moves by the VA to put homeless veterans under guardianship and a broader effort to turn the Pentagon into the tip of the spear for an extreme culture war—from banning books and rolling back women's rights to pushing Christian nationalism—calling it the most dangerous course for America's future and a test for politicians, retired generals, civic leaders, and every independent American -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the podcast where we harness the healing power of music to battle depression, trauma, and the everyday battles we all face. I'm your host, James Cox—a lover of music who knows firsthand how a riff can become a lifeline.In today's episode we sit down with Sean Martin, the powerhouse vocalist and guitarist behind the hard‑rock outfit The Quarantine. Sean's journey weaves together grunge grit, military grit, and raw, unapologetic honesty. From his days in the airborne infantry and covert training in Alaska and Thailand to the darker corridors of PTSD and a “temporary psychotic breakdown” that landed him in a VA inpatient program, Sean shows us how music can become both therapy and rebellion.Together we explore:Art as Therapy – how Sean turned a scathing rap‑rock track, “Nemesis,” into a cathartic outlet for trauma.The Weight of OPSEC – why soldiers often stay silent, and how breaking that silence unlocks healing.Band Identity – the meaning behind “The Quarantine” and its stance against societal other‑ization.Discipline Meets Creativity – what military rigor taught Sean about practice, improvisation, and pushing beyond the sheet music.Grunge Roots & Influences – his first connection to Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and how those sounds still echo in his writing.Lightning‑Round Favorites – from Soundgarden and Pantera to Incubus, Deftones, and even Michael Jackson, revealing the eclectic soundtrack that fuels his soul.If you've ever felt the sting of isolation, the roar of anxiety, or the need for a musical spark to pull you back from the edge, this conversation is for you. Grab your headphones, take a breath, and let Sean's story remind you that, no matter how loud the world gets, there's always a chord that can bring us back to center.Stay tuned—because when words fail, music speaks.

xAttack on Michigan Synagogue. Tragedy and Heroism at ODU's ROTC. Bombing Civilians is Bad. Trump Drops Russian Oil Sanctions. UFO General Missing. RIP Rick Bolanos. Mid-East F1 Cancelled. American caskets are coming home again. In this fierce, fiery Friday episode, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the escalating “Iran overflow” war, the KC‑135 crash that killed six American service members, the growing drumbeat of troop movements into the Middle East, and the total failure of Congress to do its job on questions of war and peace. He calls out Trump's illegal “no quarter” rhetoric, Pete Hegseth's authoritarian war on the press, ICE's abuses at home, and the dangerous normalization of UFC “Freedom Fights 250” on the White House lawn—while reminding listeners why if you're not angry, you're not paying attention.​ Then Medal of Freedom recipient, Air Force veteran, and TAPS founder Bonnie Carroll returns to go deeper on what really happens when someone is killed in action, in training, in terror attacks at home—or lost to suicide. Paul and Bonnie unpack the brutal realities of casualty notifications, the lifelong journey for surviving families, and the heroic work TAPS is doing right now for the loved ones of those lost in Iran, Iraq, Old Dominion, Michigan, and beyond—and how you can help.

Quiet Detroit Day, Isian Finalized Detroit Day arrived with a hush. On March 13, the Detroit Lions made Christian Isian's signing official and left everything else on hold. He is scheduled to speak with the media today, time unspecified. The rest of the NFL news cycle stayed still around Allen Park. That silence is wearing on fans. It showed up in the Detroit Lions Podcast inbox and chat. So today's focus shifted to what remains on the market at positions of need, starting with edge. Edge Options: Veterans With Caveats The top of the remaining edge group carries risk. Joey Bosa headlines it on name value, but injuries have changed his game. At 31, he is no longer the same pass rusher. The question becomes price and reliability. That same worry hangs over Marcus Davenport. The plea was clear: do not run that experiment back. If the Lions wanted an older, banged-up rotational piece, they could have kept Al-Quadin Muhammad. They did not. He's in Tampa, with an introduction there today. Other names bring clearer roles. Calais Campbell is 39, durable, and still a quality fit for a one-year stopgap. That makes sense at the right number. Jadeveon Clowney brings steadiness but not quick pressure. The Lions need faster wins off the edge. That has never been Clowney's calling card. Von Miller sits at the very end of a great career. Cam Jordan keeps surfacing in the top tier of lists, and a single season of his savvy feels attractive if the price cooperates. None of these require a rush. Veterans like this can wait out the market. Draft Signals and Stopgap Talk There is still a glaring need opposite Aidan Hutchinson. The current pile of available edges looks more like placeholders than needle-movers. That points the Detroit Lions toward the draft. One of the first two picks at edge makes sense. It does not mean free agency is over at the position. It means the team can pair a rookie with a one-year veteran who understands multiple systems and can play a role on day one. Recent depth stories reinforce the urgency. The Josh Paschal experiment never truly took off because of injuries. John Kaminski flashed during a healthy stretch, then faded when he got hurt. Levi is a question until proven otherwise. Hope is not a plan. Quick pressure is. The Detroit Lions Podcast kept circling that need. If the front office is slow-playing the board, waiting for veteran prices to soften, the logic tracks. Finalizing Christian Isian closed one file. The edge file stays open, with the draft looming as the real solution and a short-term stopgap still in play. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #christianisian #aidanhutchinson #joeybosa #jadeveonclowney #calaiscampbell #camjordan #vonmiller #al-quadinmuhammad #marcusdavenport #joshpaschal #johnkaminski #levi #edgerusher #quickpressure #oneyearstopgap Learn more about your ad choices.

A decorated U.S. veteran survives combat overseas—only to be murdered at home by a convicted ISIS supporter who had already pleaded guilty to terrorism charges. Tara exposes the shocking case, the immigration and national security failures surrounding it, and why some say the messaging battle in Washington is being lost. Why was a convicted terrorist free in America—and who's being held accountable? Episode Summary: In this explosive episode, Tara examines the shocking killing of a beloved American veteran who survived deployments during Operation Iraqi Freedom and other overseas missions—only to be murdered on U.S. soil by a man who had already pleaded guilty to providing material support to ISIS. According to former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker, the attacker had been convicted of terrorism charges but was later released and living freely in the United States. Tara and Lee discuss the controversy surrounding how a naturalized citizen convicted of supporting a terrorist organization was not denaturalized and deported. The episode also recounts the dramatic and terrifying moment when unarmed students reportedly confronted the attacker after the killing, ultimately subduing him themselves to stop the threat. Beyond the tragic event, Tara shifts to the broader political battle over border security, immigration enforcement, and national messaging. She argues that Republicans are failing to effectively communicate their case to the American public, despite what she claims are strong facts on issues like suspected terrorists entering the country and alleged misuse of Social Security numbers. The show closes with a critique of political messaging strategies in Washington, arguing that the lack of a coordinated communication strategy could cost political momentum on major issues including immigration, Iran policy, and the economy. Key Topics Covered: Murder of a U.S. veteran by a convicted ISIS supporter Debate over denaturalization and deportation for terrorism convictions The role of immigration policy in national security debates Students confronting and stopping the attacker Political messaging battles surrounding immigration and terrorism Criticism of Republican communication strategy The broader fight over public opinion on national security He survived war overseas—but was killed at home by a convicted ISIS supporter. The question shaking the country: Why was the attacker still free in America? Why Was a Convicted Terrorist Free in the U.S.? #NationalSecurity #BorderDebate #ImmigrationPolicy #Terrorism #USPolitics #AmperWave #BreakingNews

Florida State wrapped up the first week of spring camp Friday with its first padded practice, with coach Mike Norvell pointing to several newcomers who have made early impressions on a roster still taking shape. “There were some good things that we did and there's some ugly moments, and some really good responses throughout the course of practice,” Norvell said. “Some big plays showed up both sides of the ball.” We were aggressive in our installations, just trying to force guys with their study, their process, and the application of the things we put in,” he said. “I felt the winter program prepared them.” The linebacker room drew particular praise. Freshman Noah LaVallee forced a fumble in the opening practice Monday and followed with open-field tackles on Friday. Norvell also mentioned freshmen Karon Maycock and Daylen Green as contributors in the early going. Linebacker Izayia Williams remains sidelined working back from a knee injury but has been present in meetings. Veteran linebacker Chris Jones said the first day in pads brought a different kind of energy to the group. “I love to hit, so it was just good to be back in pads for sure,” Jones said. He also credited the group's “gradership program” under position coach Coach Sims, where upperclassmen are tasked with pulling younger players aside and coaching them up throughout practice: “That one thing you tell him that one time, he can remember that and that'll make him better.” On the defensive line, Norvell said Franklin Whitley has shown natural strength despite limited football experience, while Earnest Rankins drew praise Friday after being challenged heading into the padded session. “We've got big expectations for him,” Norvell said of Rankins. Norvell also singled out edge rusher Deamontae Diggs, who missed most of last season with an injury, as a standout Friday. “He's not fully there, but if he keeps taking steps, he's going to provide a real presence on the edge.” First-year edge coach Nick Williams also drew praise. “I love his energy,” Norvell said. “He's going to push guys to an expectation of what it needs to be, and he does that for himself.” Legacy wide receiver Devin Carter has also caught Norvell's eye. “He's a good worker. He really loves the game. You could tell he's a technician of the game,” Norvell said. “Not everything has gone well for him this week, but even in the moments where it wasn't a great play, you can feel his urgency to go get better.” Wide receivers Darryon Williams and EJ White have also been seeing reps, with Norvell noting good moments alongside areas still to develop. In the backfield, Norvell called transfer Tre Wisner “about all the right things that you want,” pointing specifically to his leadership, football IQ and work in pass protection. “He's smart, he studies, he's got versatility — protections are something that's important to him,” Norvell said. Sophomore Ousmane Kromah was quick to echo the praise, saying that “he really does take care of everybody.” Participating in his first spring camp after arriving last summer as true freshmen, Kromah said Wisner has helped him process the game faster. “My game has grown in majority vision,” Kromah said. Kromah also praised four-star freshman Amari Thomas, saying the room has barely scratched the surface with him. “Just wait till we actually groom him and teach him how to do certain things,” Kromah said. “It's over.” At quarterback, Norvell said Auburn transfer Ashton Daniels has produced at least one explosive vertical play in each of the first three practices. “For a guy that has a lot of recognition for his movement skills, he's been able to locate the ball and put it in good places,” Norvell said. Freshman Jaden O'Neal, out for the season due to injury, has remained active in the meeting room, something Norvell said he's been pleased with. Learn more about your ad choices.

Williamston accountant and minister Patricia Smith pulled off an upset in this month's primary over a six-term incumbent known for crossing party lines.Rep. Shelly Willingham, D-Edgecombe, was one of three moderate Democrats who helped give House Republicans what they call a “working supermajority” and lost their primaries. Willingham had survived previous attempts to unseat him in a primary, and while Stein endorsed a challenger to Rep. Carla Cunningham in Charlotte, he didn't make any endorsements in the race to represent Edgecombe, Martin and Bertie counties. WUNC News' Colin Campbell spoke with Smith about her campaign, her concerns with Willingham's voting record, and some tense moments at the polls.

In this fiery second-hour rant, Clay Edwards unleashes on the double terrorist attacks that hit America yesterday—jihad strikes at Old Dominion University and a flaming car bomb at a Michigan synagogue. He calls out the Democrats' “Michigan problem,” open borders, and the radical left's refusal to fund DHS, warning that Iran-backed sleeper cells are already plotting drone boat attacks off California.   Clay praises the absolute American badassery of the ROTC cadet who jumped a convicted ISIS sympathizer in the classroom, stabbed him dead, and ended the threat—demanding the young hero get the Presidential Medal of Freedom and expedited entry into the military at the next State of the Union.   Veteran and fellow host Andrew Gosser joins the studio for a no-holds-barred breakdown: why this isn't “a war” yet but the full application of U.S. air supremacy, how weak Republicans and long-game Democrats are selling out the country, the cycle of strong men/weak times, and why America won't wake up until we get punched in the face harder than 9/11.   Raw, unfiltered, and zero apologies—this is Clay Edwards at his most incendiary. If you're tired of pretending terrorist attacks are “complicated” or that patriotism is optional, this episode is for you.

Trump Endorses Jake Paul. VA Wants to Institutionalize Homeless Vets. The Loud X Minority. We Need An Indy to Run vs Fetterman. Italy Wins, Saves USA.  Trump's Iran war is spiraling, controversy is overflowing, the world is in chaos, enemies are celebrating, the VA is quietly grabbing new power over homeless vets, and John Fetterman is MIA on a horrific school strike in Iran—so Paul fires up the mic for a solo episode that pulls no punches and looks around the corner at what's coming next. From Iran to California drone threats, from outrageous “war slop” videos out of the White House to the FBI playing fanboy with UFC fighters at Quantico, this episode is a rapid-fire briefing for independent Americans who refuse to drink the bullshit both parties are serving. Paul breaks down why most Americans are not as divided as the algorithms want you to believe, why independents (especially in Pennsylvania and South Carolina) are the real sleeping giant, and how celebrity, culture, sports and even the Paralympics are being weaponized in this new era of global conflict. He closes with a powerful, emotional story of a high school hockey player who turned unimaginable loss into a double-overtime miracle—and a reminder that heroism, community and hope are still out there if you know where to look. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Iran War Opposed by Most Americans. Senator Ron Johnson Hates Vets. Dr Dre is a Billionaire. USA Sled Hockey Rocks. Trump's deeply unpopular war in Iran is escalating, US troops are being wounded in large numbers, and the war on the truth is raging—so Paul Rieckhoff is back with a fast, fiery solo episode to help you cut through the chaos, fueled by G. Love & Special Sauce and fresh off a big night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. From new reporting on undisclosed American casualties and oil shocks in the Strait of Hormuz to Trump's all‑gas‑no‑brakes foreign policy and a Congress with “no plan to stop him,” Paul breaks down what's really happening, why it feels like Iraq all over again, and what eternal vigilance looks like for you right now.​ He digs into Trump's forever war, the overextended US military, and the historic unpopularity of the Iran conflict—less support than Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan—while calling out senators who act more like pundits than leaders and demanding a real plan to constrain presidential war powers. Along the way he blasts Senator Ron Johnson for blocking the bipartisan Richard Starr Act that would ensure wounded combat veterans get both the disability and retirement pay they've earned, pulls back the curtain on his latest Colbert appearance and his push to draft Stephen to run as an independent against Lindsey Graham, spotlights Independent Veterans of America, and still finds room for joy—from USA sled hockey's Paralympic dominance and the World Baseball Classic to Dr. Dre's long‑awaited billionaire status and what the “year of the billionaire” says about America now. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Rogan & Bannon Question Iran. Ignorant Outrage Over Troops Steak & Lobster. Hegseth to Approve All Hegseth Photos. Drones: “The Factory is the Weapon”. Ray Lewis Mad. Italy Stuns US. Adebayo's 83!  On this Wartime Wednesday episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff takes you inside the rapidly escalating war in Iran, what it really means for troops and families, and why 76% of Americans now oppose it. From a deadly U.S. strike on an Iranian school and new Pentagon revelations, to drone warfare, Cyber Command leadership, the Strait of Hormuz, and the viral Heath “lobster and steak” for Troops outrage, Paul breaks down the stories everyone should be tracking—but most news and politics shows are missing.​ Because we didn't just start covering national security and war when the war with Iran started. We focus on it always. And this is one of the few shows out there hosted by a combat veteran who gets it.  You'll also hear about wounded soldiers returning from the Middle East and speaking out, why cheap drones are the top threat of this war, and how America is still not ready enough at home or abroad. Paul hits veterans' benefits battles in Congress, the candidacy of retired General Sean Harris in Marjorie Taylor Greene's open Congressional seat in Georgia, and why independents remain the needle in American politics—plus culture and sports updates from Miley's Hannah Montana return to the World Baseball Classic, the USA at the Paralympics, and NFL legends Ed Reed and Ray Lewis pushing back on Trump's war propaganda. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.
