College is supposed to be loud, crowded, and exhausting—but not this kind of exhausting. In a quiet Washington dorm room, something began watching from the dark when the lights went out. At first, it was just a feeling. The kind that makes you hesitate before opening a closet or turning your back on a corner of the room. But the longer the nights dragged on, the harder it became to ignore that someone—or something—was very present. This wasn't a quick scare or a one-night incident. It was persistent. Observant. Intimate in a way that stripped away any sense of safety. The kind of presence that doesn't rush… because it doesn't have to. Even when the room appeared empty again, the weight of being watched never lifted. #RealGhostStories #TrueParanormal #DormRoomHaunting #ShadowEntity #ClosetGhost #ParanormalEncounter #TrueHaunting #ScaryStories #Unexplained #HauntedCollege Love real ghost stories?

In this New Year's Day episode of The Wright Report, Bryan offers a forward-looking briefing on the massive migrant fraud investigations now unfolding nationwide, rising unrest inside Iran, the future of human espionage in an age of AI surveillance, and new research that could dramatically strengthen the immune system this winter. A Nationwide Migrant Fraud Reckoning: Bryan previews a major investigation he is assembling on migrant fraud rings operating far beyond Minnesota. Independent journalists are uncovering suspicious nonprofit operations tied to Medicaid and other taxpayer-funded programs in states including Washington, Ohio, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, and California. Bryan explains why this could become one of the biggest domestic scandals in decades, potentially involving billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars sent overseas. Why This Fraud Matters to Every Taxpayer: As Americans prepare to file their taxes, Bryan asks a blunt question. Why should citizens pay billions to Washington if that money is being stolen and routed to foreign nationals and their home countries? He argues the situation violates the most basic American principles and says the Founders rebelled over far less. Iran's Protests and a Dangerous Balancing Act: Bryan is consulting intelligence sources to assess unrest inside Iran. He explains that the regime often allows protests to burn for a time to release pressure, but the danger is letting them grow into a true revolution. The key question he is exploring is how worried the Ayatollah truly is about losing control and what signs would signal that a counter-revolution is near. The Future of Human Spying: Responding to a listener question, Bryan teases a deep dive into the future of espionage. He explains how digital exhaust, constant surveillance, and artificial intelligence make it more complicated than ever for CIA officers to recruit and protect foreign assets. He warns that hostile intelligence services can now identify, flip, and feed disinformation back to U.S. leaders, shaping decisions about war and peace. Promising Immune System Research: Bryan shares excitement about new European research showing the immune system can be reset and strengthened in just twenty-eight days. The compound used in the study is already available over the counter and is included in a product he has previously endorsed. He says the findings reinforce his commitment to only partner with products backed by real science.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: nationwide migrant fraud investigation, Medicaid nonprofit abuse states, Minnesota fraud expansion, taxpayer money overseas, Iran protests regime stability, Ayatollah counter revolution risk, future of CIA human intelligence, AI surveillance espionage, digital exhaust counterintelligence, immune system reset research Europe, over the counter immune supplement, New Year Wright Report  

The Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. is the heart of our American government. Both houses of Congress meet here to pass the laws of the land. The building is over 200 years old and has changed through the decades. While this just seems to be a standard government building, there is a lot of symbolism connected to the structure and its location. And there were rituals too. Could that be why this is one of the most haunted buildings in Washington, D.C.? Join us for the history and hauntings of the Capitol Building.

A plan to massively expand FDIC insurance is gaining traction in Washington, despite little evidence that customers or community banks are asking for it. Cato's Nicholas Anthony, Norbert Michel, and Jill Castilla, CEO of Citizens Bank of Edmond, show how the proposal would subsidize wealthy depositors, weaken market discipline, and entrench “too noisy to fail” expectations across the banking system.

These rental property deals are making us richer, even with high housing prices and interest rates. Everyone thinks it's impossible to find cash-flowing rental properties in today's housing market, but this is NOT the truth. We're going to show you three real rental property deals we're buying. All of these are being purchased in 2025—these are NOT cheap deals from 2020 with 3% - 4% interest rates. Each one will build major equity, cash flow, or both. Dave brought backup on this episode—the entire expert panel from the On the Market podcast—to share real deals they're doing right now. We've got three to go through—a $55,000 heavy rehab rental property that will also serve as Henry's own vacation home, a new build rental property at a super reasonable $214,000 price, and finally, a very creative (but somewhat costly) land-banking deal in Seattle, Washington. Each of these deals ranges in expertise needed. Some of the heavier rehab projects may require a few years of renovation experience, while Kathy's new build deal is a profitable rental ANYONE can buy right now. Regardless of your experience, you can copy these strategies and get richer with these rentals!  In This Episode We Cover Three profitable real estate deals you can do RIGHT NOW How to buy a brand new rental property, with a low interest rate, for just around $200,000 How Henry is turning a $55,000 disaster house into a $265,000 top-tier rental  James's super creative way to make $300,000 on land in high-demand areas  The best investment if you've got a busy job, a family to take care of, or just a hectic schedule  And So Much More!

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Towering over Colfax, Washington, St. Ignatius Hospital stands as a silent witness to more than a century of human suffering, care, and unanswered questions. Built in 1893 as the first hospital in Whitman County, the building once represented hope and healing. Today, it's known for something far more unsettling. Visitors and investigators report doors slamming on their own, footsteps racing through empty corridors, and the disturbing sensation of unseen figures moving through dimly lit hallways. Ghost Tour Director Val Gregory joins us to explore the long history and persistent paranormal activity surrounding St. Ignatius Hospital. From documented history to firsthand accounts gathered during tours and investigations, this conversation examines why the hospital continues to draw curiosity—and why its presence still feels very much alive. This is a grounded look at a historic location where the past refuses to remain quiet. For more information, visit their website at colfaxhauntedhospital.com.

DML discusses the uncovering of fraudulent daycare centers across the United States. Washington, D.C., moves to take action, Mamdani's new appointment, and much more.

Topics discussed, by month:JanuaryThe year opened with Donald Trump's second inauguration and a rapid slate of executive actions, including a controversial move that effectively kept TikTok alive after a brief shutdown. The ceremony highlighted a conspicuous alliance between Trump and major tech figures — framed as an early signal of an AI-driven, business-friendly Trump 2.0 — alongside cultural flashpoints like Elon Musk's gesture that sparked online backlash.FebruaryTrump reintroduced tariffs on Canada and Mexico, triggering market volatility and a sense that the second administration would closely resemble the first. The episode became a turning point for media and political observers, who noted both reduced hysteria compared to 2017 and a more subdued press landscape shaped by declining ratings, clicks, and subscriber growth.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication.

The storm stood out as a rare reminder of infrastructure vulnerability in regions unaccustomed to severe winter weather.April“Liberation Day” marked Trump's sweeping tariff announcement, forcing long-time free-trade conservatives to publicly accept policies they once opposed as markets reacted sharply. The moment crystallized tensions within the GOP coalition, highlighted generational backlash from Gen Z voters, and underscored growing anxiety about the economy, inflation, and job security.MayTrump announced a major economic deal with Qatar, bringing Middle East politics and foreign influence — particularly within right-wing media — into sharper focus. The deal coincided with intensifying divisions inside conservative circles over Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the broader regional conflict, exposing deep fractures within the MAGA-aligned media ecosystem.JuneThe U.S. carried out targeted airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in one of the year's strangest and most anticlimactic geopolitical moments. Despite intense speculation and internal right-wing conflict over the prospect of war, the strikes produced no immediate escalation, quickly fading from public attention after briefly dominating political discourse.JulyCatastrophic flooding in Texas over the July 4th holiday killed at least 135 people, with the destruction of a girls' summer camp becoming a focal point for grief and anger. The discussion centered on loss of life, questions about building in known flood zones, and the emotional toll of reporting on tragedy.AugustA surprise U.S.–Russia summit in Alaska brought Vladimir Putin to American soil for the first time in years, framed as a tentative step toward ending the war in Ukraine. SeptemberThe assassination of Charlie Kirk at a Turning Point USA event in Utah dominated the conversation as the defining story of the year. The killing reshaped right-wing media, hardened attitudes around speech and retaliation, exposed moral failures in online discourse, and accelerated the rise of figures like Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes amid what is described as a profound loss of cohesion on the right.OctoberThe longest government shutdown in U.S. history paralyzed Washington and revealed how little clarity even insiders had about its endgame. While it failed to specifically earn the Democrats what they publicly said they wanted, the shutdown ultimately functioned as a political weapon, energizing Democrats in off-year elections while deepening public cynicism about governance and leverage politics.NovemberDemocratic overperformance in off-year elections, including Virginia and New Jersey, reframed the shutdown as a tactical success rather than a policy-driven fight. That momentum quickly curdled into skepticism, with voters sensing a power grab and turning on Democrats once the immediate political payoff was achieved.DecemberThe Trump administration's pardon of former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández — convicted of facilitating large-scale cocaine trafficking — sparked debate over executive power, corruption, and contradictions in U.S. anti-narcotics policy. The month closed with a broader reflection on “state of exception” politics, where violence and extralegal force are justified as necessary to restore order, a theme tied back to both Trump's actions and the year's broader political unrest.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:01:21 - January00:11:10 - February00:15:47 - March00:18:38 - April00:25:41 - May00:31:54 - June00:37:08 - July00:47:04 - August00:52:22 - September01:27:14 - October01:30:03 - November01:34:48 - December01:44:15 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Remembering Ana Walsh 4/12/1983-1/1/2023In this episode, we revisit the disappearance and murder of Ana Walshe, the 39‑year‑old mother of three who vanished from her home in Cohasset, Massachusetts on New Year's Day 2023. Her case captured national attention and became one of the most closely watched true crime investigations in New England.Cohasset -- a quiet coastal town south of Boston and the filming location for Thoroughbreds (2017), The Finest Hours (2016), and The Witches of Eastwick (1987) -- was shaken when Ana was reported missing. I first covered her story in February 2023 (Episode 39), shortly after her husband, Brian Walshe, was arrested and his long history of fraud and deception began to surface.When a mother disappears, leaving behind three young children, the fear is immediate. Investigators quickly painted a grim picture, and as the likelihood of finding Ana alive faded, I began researching "no body" cases in New England. These cases are rare but not unprecedented. Massachusetts has secured convictions in the murders of Robin Benedict (1983) and Katherine Leonard Romano (1998). And the landmark Helle Crafts case in Connecticut (1986) set a national precedent for prosecuting murder cases where no body has been recovered.Ana was last seen in the early hours of January 1, 2023. The Walshes had hosted a friend, Gem Mutlu, for New Year's Eve. Gem later testified about his close relationship with the family and his affection for the children. He first met Brian through the Boston Breakthrough Academy, a leadership and personal‑development program focused on emotional intelligence, communication, and personal responsibility. Though the organization appears inactive today, its curriculum emphasized transformational growth and “vision‑driven leadership.” Gem had known the family since 2020, and Ana even served as director of operations for his team until 2022, when she accepted what she called her “dream job” in Washington, D.C.Ana was reported missing on January 4, 2023 -- not by her husband, but by her employer, Tishman Speyer, after she failed to show up for work after the holiday. Her husband attempted to stage a cover story by telling friends she had rushed to D.C. for a work emergency. While there had been issues in the past with a property, nothing justified an urgent holiday departure. Ana's professional rise was remarkable. After immigrating from Serbia in 2005, she worked seasonal hospitality jobs at The Inn at Little Washington in Virginia -- first as a housekeeper, then as a server. Through determination and talent, she built a career in luxury real estate and corporate operations, ultimately landing a leadership role in Washington, D.C. This episode examines the evidence presented in the Brian Walshe murder trial, the timeline of Ana's disappearance, and the pursuit of justice for a woman whose life was defined by resilience, ambition, and love for her children.More at crimeofthetruestkind.com/justice-for-ana-walsheOnline: CrimeoftheTruestKind.comCreated, written, hosted by Anngelle Wood#Massachusetts #massachusettstruecrime #NewEngland #TrueCrime #Advocacy #Podcast #Unsolved #Missing Hosted on Acast.

David McKnight addresses a brand new proposal that could transform the way Americans use Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k) – and that could have serious implications for your retirement flexibility, liquidity, and long-term tax strategy. With the current status quo, if a person has money in a 401(k) or even a Roth 401(k), they can usually roll it out into an IRA when they retire or leave their job. However, money can't roll the other direction: you can't take a Roth IRA and move it into a Roth 401(k)... A new bipartisan bill introduced by Republican Representative Darin LaHood and Democrat Representative Linda Sánchez aims to change that. Under this proposal, you could roll your Roth IRA into an employer-sponsored Roth account like a Roth 401(k), a Roth 403(b) or even a Roth 457 plan. This change could mean less paperwork, potentially lower fees, and a simpler investment picture. David cites simplicity, cost and protection as a few of the reasons why lawmakers may want this bill to pass. One of the incentives for Washington may have to do with the fact that encouraging people to use Roth accounts – which are taxed up front – can generate more short-term tax revenue for the government. Everything isn't as good as it seems, though. David lists a few of the trade-offs involved with this potential change. Firstly, loss of control. When your money is in a Roth IRA, you can invest it wherever you want: Index funds, EFTs, individual stocks, and more. With an employer plan, your investment menu would be limited by the options the plan administrator offers. The so-called Five-Year Rule is another aspect worth considering. Typically, every Roth account has to be open for at least five years or until 59 ½, whichever is later, before earnings can be withdrawn tax-free.  Here's the tricky part: Each different kind of Roth account has its own five-year clock. This could turn into a logistical nightmare for plan administrators. David shares some final considerations regarding who would benefit and who may get negatively affected by the proposed bill and points out that "Not all Roths are created equal."     Mentioned in this episode: David's new book, available now for pre-order: The Secret Order of Millionaires David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement by David McKnight DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Darin LaHood Linda Sánchez Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)

Join host Alan Kaplinsky, founder and former longtime leader of Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group and one of the foremost thought leaders in the industry, as he welcomes two special guests for a timely and insightful conversation about the most significant deregulatory developments in banking law during 2025. Alan is joined by his Ballard Spahr colleague Scott Coleman, a partner with more than 30 years of experience guiding banks and bank holding companies through mergers, acquisitions, and all facets of regulatory compliance, especially in the community banking sector. They're also joined by Dr. Sean Campbell, Chief Economist and Head of Policy Research at the Financial Services Forum, where he represents the eight U.S. global systemically important banks. Dr. Campbell is a distinguished economist, former senior Federal Reserve official, and published academic. In this episode, Alan, Scott, and Sean break down the latest developments and ongoing trends in bank regulation and supervision, and digital innovation. You'll get expert analysis and practical takeaways on: ·                 The Deregulatory Wave: How the Trump administration's aggressive deregulatory agenda is streamlining exams, reducing supervisory burdens, and shifting the focus toward core financial risk-while eliminating reputational risk as a part of President Trump's Debanking Executive Order. ·                 Supervision and Stress Testing Reform: Why new Federal Reserve proposals to increase transparency in stress testing mark a turning point for large banks, moving away from a "check-the-box" approach to a laser focus on tangible risks like capital, liquidity, and asset quality. ·                 Deposit Insurance Debate: The pros, cons, and historical lessons of raising FDIC insurance limits-especially in the wake of recent bank failures and how the right balance can preserve market discipline. ·                 Community Reinvestment Act in the Digital Age: Why the CRA's geography-based model is due for an overhaul as banking goes mobile and regulatory priorities shift. ·                 Crypto, Stablecoins, and Regulatory Parity: What the Bipartisan Enactment of the GENIUS Act (regulating stablecoins) means for banks and fintechs, and why applying anti-money laundering rules across the board could level the playing field. ·                 Eliminating Reputational Risk: How regulators are eliminating the use of "reputational risk" as a catch-all supervisory and enforcement tool and what this means for fair access and bank governance. ·                 Looking to the Future: The group reflects on what's next for the bank regulatory landscape, Wall Street's view on the industry, and the practical impacts on banks and consumers. Whether you're a banker, regulator, or just want to understand how Washington and Wall Street are shaping the future of finance, this episode delivers the highlights of 2025 and insights you need going into 2026. Tune in for expert opinions, real-world examples, and a roadmap to what's ahead!

Host McGraw Milhaven was joined by Andres Malavé, a Venezuelan American and top Republican strategist, to begin the conversation with a look at escalating U.S. hostilities toward Venezuela and what they could mean for regional stability and American foreign policy. Specifically, the discussion focused on pressure campaigns, energy interests, and the broader implications for the Western Hemisphere. From there, Ashleigh Fields, reporter for The Hill, joined the show to break down the latest developments in the Russia–Ukraine war. In her analysis, she highlighted ongoing diplomatic tensions, military strategy, and how Washington and its allies are responding as the conflict continues to evolve. Finally, McGraw wrapped up the hour with Jonathan Horn, former White House presidential speechwriter and author of “The Fate of the Generals: MacArthur, Wainwright, and the Epic Battle for the Philippines.” Drawing on history, Horn reflected on leadership under fire, explored the high-stakes decisions made during World War II, and explained why those lessons remain relevant in today's global conflicts.

Jeffrey Epstein's legal team didn't just negotiate within the normal bounds of the U.S. Attorney's Office in South Florida—they deliberately went over Alex Acosta's head and straight to Department of Justice leadership in Washington. When local prosecutors appeared resistant to the sweeping immunity Epstein wanted, his lawyers escalated the matter to Main Justice, reframing the case as a broader federal concern rather than a local sex-crimes prosecution. That pressure campaign paid off. Senior DOJ officials ultimately signed off on the notorious Non-Prosecution Agreement, an extraordinary deal that shielded Epstein from federal charges and quietly immunized unnamed co-conspirators—a move that short-circuited what could have been a devastating national prosecution and locked victims out of the process.In this episode, newly surfaced correspondence pulls back the curtain on how that deal was engineered at the highest levels, including emails and letters involving Kenneth Starr, one of Epstein's most powerful defense attorneys. The exchanges show Starr communicating directly with DOJ brass, using his institutional clout and legal gravitas to press Epstein's case far beyond ordinary advocacy. Rather than a routine plea negotiation, the correspondence reveals a coordinated, top-down lobbying effort that treated Epstein as a problem to be managed, not prosecuted—raising disturbing questions about favoritism, backchannel influence, and how justice was quietly bent to accommodate one of the most well-connected defendants in modern American criminal history.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00013989.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In 2014, a military spouse and a priest—both avid bakers—wanted to create a fun, welcoming place that could help out transitioning veterans. They started Dog Tag Bakery, a Washington café that not only serves coffee and treats but also hosts a business incubator program.

Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with Dog Tag's Director of Programs and Community Impact, Maureen Devine-Ahl, and Army spouse and entrepreneur, Erin Vandre, to discuss what lessons the bakery teaches its fellows, how it aided Erin in the launch of her business (also a bakery!), and what their favorite sweets are.

Hello to you, Marilyn, listening in Hancock, New Hampshire!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington, this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Wednesdays on Whidbey—this final day of the old year—and your host, Diane Wyzga.      Shoveling Snow With Buddha by Billy Collins"In the usual iconography of the temple or the local Wokyou would never see him doing such a thing,tossing the dry snow over the mountainof his bare, round shoulder,his hair tied in a knot,a model of concentration. Sitting is more his speed, if that is the wordfor what he does, or does not do. Even the season is wrong for him.In all his manifestations, is it not warm and slightly humid?Is this not implied by his serene expression,that smile so wide it wraps itself around the waist of the universe? But here we are, working our way down the driveway,one shovelful at a time.We toss the light powder into the clear air.We feel the cold mist on our faces.And with every heave we disappearand become lost to each otherin these sudden clouds of our own making,these fountain-bursts of snow. This is so much better than a sermon in church,I say out loud, but Buddha keeps on shoveling.This is the true religion, the religion of snow,and sunlight and winter geese barking in the sky,I say, but he is too busy to hear me. He has thrown himself into shoveling snowas if it were the purpose of existence,as if the sign of a perfect life were a clear drivewayone you could back the car down easilyand drive off into the vanities of the worldwith a broken heater fan and a song on the radio. All morning long we work side by side,me with my commentaryand he inside the generous pocket of his silence,until the hour is nearly noonand the snow is piled high all around us;then, I hear him speak. After this, he asks,can we go inside and play cards? Certainly, I reply, and I will heat some milkand bring cups of hot chocolate to the tablewhile you shuffle the deck,and our boots stand dripping by the door. Aaah, says the Buddha, lifting his eyesand leaning for a moment on his shovelbefore he drives the thin blade againdeep into the glittering white snow."My New Year wish for you: As the old year folds onto itself and the new year dawns I wish for you that your everyday activities, even the very simple tasks, bring humor, contemplation, and a sense of magic in the ordinary. May you find your way on the path following a compass heading of True North. May the love you seek wend its way to you. May you dream well, journey far, and be sustained in hope that what you're looking for is looking for you.You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

La creciente popularidad en el mundo del matcha, el té verde en polvo que se usa en la ceremonia del té en Japón, ha dado origen a locales como Matcha Tokyo, una venta de bebidas y dulces cuya visita es obligatoria para los viajeros que quieren probar las numerosas variaciones. Hay Matcha Latte, Matcha de banana, Matcha con avena, Matcha con limonada y hasta un Matcha con un cremoso helado de coco flotando dentro. Una joven norteamericana de Washington que ha pedido matcha puro sin azúcar nos explica que la salud es una de las principales razones de la gran popularidad del matcha en su país. “Creo que en Estados Unidos todo el mundo quiere estar sano, comer sano, beber sano. Y que cuando la gente empezó a conocer los beneficios se pasó al matcha”, dice.  El matcha en Japón se reverencia desde hace cinco siglos en la ceremonia del té. Un ritual de bebida en el que una maestra o maestro vestido con kimono calienta agua en una gran tetera de hierro. En una taza de cerámica la vierte sobre el té en polvo y lo bate con un delicado batidor de bambú hasta que forma una espuma espesa como la del chocolate pero de un color verde vibrante. La gran popularidad fuera de Japón ha duplicado las exportaciones y ha encarecido la materia prima. Los principales mercados son Estados Unidos, el Sudeste de Asia, Taiwán y países europeos.  Según el diario Asahi, el té de Uji, la zona más cotizada de Japón, alcanzó en la primera subasta de 2025 el precio promedio de 8,235 yenes por kilo o unos 44 euros al cambio actual, lo que representa un aumento del 70 por ciento respecto al año anterior. Sadami Suzuki, el director gerente de la Asociación Central de Fabricantes de Té de Japón, nos explica que hay preocupación por el envejecimiento de la población de quienes cultivan. “Muchos pequeños productores que trabajan en terrenos reducidos y montañosos se retiran por la edad. Aunque la tecnología aumenta la producción, la superficie y la producción total siguen disminuyendo”, deplora.  El matcha contribuye a la imagen de un país que exporta costumbres sanas, pero su cultivo sufre la crisis demográfica que afecta a todo Japón: agricultores envejecidos, áreas en declive, y granjas sin sucesores.

Hey there, listeners, buckle up because the Supreme Court's shadow docket has been on fire these past few days, handing President Donald Trump and his administration a string of high-stakes wins in battles over everything from the National Guard to passports and federal spending. Just eight days ago, on December 23, 2025, the Court ruled in Trump v. Illinois, siding against the administration's bid to federalize and deploy the National Guard in Illinois without state consent. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence, while Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented, arguing the move was essential for national security amid rising unrest in Chicago. The Brennan Center's Supreme Court Shadow Docket Tracker notes this as one of only five losses for the administration since January, out of 25 emergency decisions, with most favoring Trump at least partially and often with minimal explanation.But don't let that one setback fool you—the Court has been overwhelmingly pro-administration lately. On November 6, the justices greenlit the State Department's policy refusing passports that reflect transgender applicants' gender identity for a certified class of plaintiffs, overruling lower courts in a terse order. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan dissented sharply, warning it tramples civil rights. This fits a pattern: back on October 3 in Noem v. National TPS Alliance, the Court forced the government to release congressionally appropriated foreign aid funds, with Justice Kagan's dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson, blasting it as executive overreach. Earlier, September 22's Trump v. Slaughter let the administration dodge discovery demands from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington over DOGE Service materials under the Freedom of Information Act.Rewind a bit further into this whirlwind year, and the shadow docket explodes with immigration clashes. In Noem v. Doe on May 30, the Court allowed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to revoke parole en masse for half a million noncitizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, skipping individual reviews—Justice Jackson dissented alongside Sotomayor. April's Trump v. J.G.G. permitted deportations of alleged Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act, despite dissents from Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson, and even partial pushback from Amy Coney Barrett. A.A.R.P. v. Trump on April 19 blocked removals of Venezuelan nationals, a rare check, with Kavanaugh concurring and Alito dissenting.Civil service purges? Check: McMahon v. New York on July 14 okayed firing Department of Education employees, while Trump v. Boyle upheld Trump's power to boot Consumer Product Safety Commission members without cause. Even LGBTQ+ rights took hits, like United States v. Shilling in May letting the Defense Department terminate transgender service members. Lawfare's Trump Administration Litigation Tracker highlights ongoing suits, including a coalition of nonprofits and cities challenging the suspension of November 2025 SNAP benefits—a case that echoes lower court fights like District of Rhode Island's order to fully fund them.Since Inauguration Day, the Supreme Court's emergency docket—mostly Department of Justice filings—has tilted 20-to-5 toward Trump, per SCOTUSblog and Shadow Docket Watch data. Justices Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh often push back against blocks, while the liberal trio fights rearguard actions. As 2025 wraps, two applications still pend, promising more drama.Thanks for tuning in, listeners—come back next week for more.

If you're a regular Zeteo viewer, you know that we always ask the tough questions, no matter how uncomfortable – or upset – that might make the person sitting in the interview chair.That's why as we wrap up 2025, we're resharing Mehdi's interview with former Republican congressman and Never-Trumper Joe Walsh, taped this past March. It had over 12 million views on various platforms, did you happen to also see it? Or maybe you joined Zeteo since then?In the interview, Mehdi presses Walsh on why his laudable crusade for democracy and the rule of law in Trump's US suddenly disappears when it comes to Netanyahu's Israel, and why he uses the term “genocide” to describe Russia's attack on Ukraine but not Israel's attack on Gaza.This interview is not for the faint-of-heart. The conversation gets incredibly heated towards the second half, with Walsh at one point pulling Mehdi's papers out of his hand and telling Mehdi “don't ask it [the question] four times.”Mehdi does not back down, telling Walsh, “answer it [the question] the first time and I don't have to repeat it.”This interview is a reminder of Zeteo's commitment to adversarial journalism, holding people to account, and of course, bringing the receipts. And make no mistake – as Israel's brutal genocide on Gaza and Trump's intimidation of the media continues into 2026, Zeteo only plans to keep ramping up this type of journalism.And it is thanks to you, our wonderful subscribers that Zeteo exists and that we can grow and do more interviews, documentaries, articles and original reporting.Please share this far and wide and encourage others to become subscribers.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the first confirmed U.S. ground strike inside Venezuela, escalating threats between Washington and Tehran, high-stakes peace negotiations over Ukraine, and a wide-ranging listener Q&A that spans Africa, Europe, and promising medical breakthroughs. U.S. Destroys Venezuelan Port Facility: President Trump confirmed that U.S. forces destroyed a port facility used by the Maduro regime to load drug trafficking boats. Reporting from Axios and CNN indicates the strike targeted land-based infrastructure, marking a major escalation beyond maritime interdictions. Bryan explains that the CIA and U.S. Special Forces were almost certainly involved and that the attack was meant to signal to Maduro that Washington has deep intelligence access and is prepared to keep striking unless a deal is reached. Risks of Retaliation and Global Entanglement: Bryan warns that a cornered Maduro may turn to sabotage operations inside the United States using narco gangs like Tren de Aragua. He also outlines less likely but more dangerous scenarios involving Chinese or Russian support, noting that Venezuela owes Beijing roughly $70 billion. Bryan argues Trump likely holds the advantage, but the situation remains volatile. Trump Threatens New Strikes on Iran: Following talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump said additional U.S. airstrikes are possible if Iran advances its nuclear or ballistic missile programs. For the first time, Washington appears equally focused on Iran's missile capabilities, aligning more closely with Israel's long held concerns. Iran's president responded by declaring a full-scale war with the United States and Israel. Iranian Assassination Plot Uncovered: The FBI is investigating an Iranian Quds Force team allegedly operating inside the United States to kidnap or assassinate American officials, including President Trump. Bryan connects the threat to mounting unrest inside Iran, where currency collapse, water shortages, and street protests are pushing the regime toward desperation. Ukraine Seeks Long-Term U.S. Security Guarantees: President Zelenskyy asked for a fifty-year American security guarantee as part of any peace deal with Russia. Trump countered with an offer of fifteen years. Bryan explains why such guarantees could entangle the United States in future wars and spark backlash from Trump's America First base, especially if paired with new conflicts in Iran and Venezuela. Listener Questions and Medical Good News: Bryan answers listener questions on Somaliland, European cultural decline, and why Israel's recognition of Somaliland has ignited regional tensions. He closes with encouraging medical updates on multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes, highlighting research that links oral health, cellular energy balance, and natural sunlight exposure to improved outcomes.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Venezuela port strike CIA Special Forces, Maduro narco boats Tren de Aragua, Trump Iran missile nuclear threats, Iranian assassination plot Quds Force FBI, Ukraine peace talks security guarantee, Zelenskyy Trump fifteen years, Somaliland Israel recognition Horn of Africa, Europe cultural decline cousin marriage, MS oral bacteria research, NAD Alzheimer's study, sunlight diabetes glucose control

From 12/30 Hour 4: Von Miller joins The Sports Junkies to recap the Commanders season.

It's media day in our year-end 3 Martini Lunch awards and Jim and Greg have plenty to say about how things were covered - if they were covered at all. Specifically, they look at the stories the mainstream media covered far too much, the ones they conveniently ignored because they didn't fit their narrative, and they highlight what they saw as the best stories of 2025.First, they dig into the most overreported stories of the year, with Jim choosing a constant drumbeat from the mainstream media to help get a truly radical candidate elected in New York City. Greg says the media's obsession with turning every Trump story into a possible scandal is non-stop, but there was one incredibly inconsequential construction project in Washington that they just could not shut up about. Then it's on to the stories the media didn't cover much or didn't want to cover. Jim points to the scant media attention given to the remarkable educational advancements happening in Mississippi. Greg focuses on the media's yawning over the persecution of Christians, even when Trump and the pope are speaking out against it.Finally, they reveal their selections for best stories of the year. Jim focuses on the biggest diplomatic achievement of the year, was more than two years in the making, and brought relief or closure to many families. Greg's selection is much more personal, focusing on the incredible achievements of a family friend.Make sure to listen on Wednesday as Greg and Jim unveil their selections for Person of the Year, Loser of the Year, and Turncoat of the Year. New episodes every weekday.
