President Donald Trump revealed a bombshell last night about our election systems being exploited, and he even brought declassified receipts. The mainstream media refused to air President Trump's speech and continued to undermine his message. Maine Democrats have found their latest political star to hopefully replace Graham Platner on the ballot — a transgender person named Ashley Webb. They really are something ... Joe Scarborough, host of MS NOW's “Morning Joe,” went on air to let people know he wants people to call him a “Talafreako.” Singer Kesha admitted to an abnormally weird obsession in an interview — collecting children's teeth to turn them into jewelry. ► Watch my latest video “I Confronted the RINOs Who Voted Against The SAVE America Act”: https://youtu.be/82GZ9rAWhKE ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 Timestamps: 00:00 – Trump Reveals Election Vulnerabilities 11:22 – Media Buries Trump's Speech 28:20 –Trans Senate Candidate 38:00 – James Talafreako 43:47 – Kesha's Sick Hobby Connect with Sara on Social Media: https://twitter.com/saragonzalestx https://www.instagram.com/saragonzalestx http://facebook.com/SaraGonzalesTX ► Subscribe on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sara-gonzales-unfiltered/id1408958605 ► Shop American Beauty by Sara: http://americanbeautybysara.com Sara Gonzales is the host of Sara Gonzales Unfiltered, a daily news program on Blaze TV.

Air Date - 16 July 2026Why do so many people today feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, numb, cynical, or burned out?My guest this week on Vox Novus, physician, neuroscientist, and consciousness researcher Dr. Tony Nader, says the problem is not that people no longer care. It's that modern life has made caring feel emotionally unsustainable. Tony Nader, MD, PhD, MARR, is a medical doctor trained at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A globally recognized expert in the science of consciousness and human development, he is the successor to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the head of the Transcendental Meditation organizations worldwide, and the president of Maharishi International University. His empirical research in neurochemistry and neuroendocrinology has been widely published in peer-reviewed, scholarly journals, and he has presented at many academic and governmental institutions worldwide. His previous book, Consciousness Is All There Is: How Understanding and Experiencing Consciousness Will Transform Your Life, was a New York Times bestseller.His website is https://drtonynader.com, and he joins me this week to share his new book, The Power of Caring: Who Cares, Why It Matters, and How Conscious Caring Creates a Fulfilling and Connected Life.#TonyNader #VictorFuhrman #DestinationUnlimitedConnect with Victor Fuhrman at https://victorthevoice.com/Visit the Destination Unlimited Show Page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/destination-unlimited/Subscribe to our Newsletter https://omtimes.com/subscribe-omtimes-magazine/Connect with OMTimes on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Omtimes.Magazine/ and OMTimes Radio https://www.facebook.com/ConsciousRadiowebtv.OMTimes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmTimes/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omtimes/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2798417/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/omtimes/

I traveled to D.C. to meet with Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito, who launched a nationwide crackdown on H-1B fraud. I also asked RINOs in D.C. about their refusal to pass the SAVE America Act and if it had anything to do with the fact that they receive money from the illegal labor lobbies. Needless to say, Senator Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) wasn't happy about it. Democrats have their new “Maryland father,” as the Left is once again simping for illegal aliens. This time it's Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an illegal alien who was shot after allegedly trying to run ICE agents over with his car. It turns out that autopens are getting so advanced these days that apparently they can write entire books.

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Alex to break down a hot-off-the-press retrospective study from the Journal of the American College of Surgeons titled “Challenging Legacy Burn Resuscitation Paradigms with Fluid Restriction and Early Plasma.”They dismantle the decades-old “swell to get well” mentality and the classic Parkland formula that has led to dangerous fluid overload, massive edema, and compartment syndromes in burn patients. Instead, they explore a more physiologic approach using lower crystalloid volumes (starting at 2 mL/kg adjusted body weight) plus early fresh frozen plasma (FFP) for patients with larger burns.Key Takeaways:The Parkland formula (4 mL/kg/%TBSA) frequently causes massive over-resuscitation; the new restrictive approach delivered significantly less fluid while maintaining (and often improving) urine output.Capillary leak from glycocalyx damage is the real enemy in burn shock — plasma helps restore oncotic pressure and may reduce third-spacing.Titrate everything to urine output (target 0.3–0.5 mL/kg/hr). Formulas are only a starting point.Use adjusted body weight (ideal body weight + 0.4 × [actual – ideal]) instead of actual body weight for fluid calculations.Early plasma (1–2 units for >30% TBSA) showed a strong signal toward lower mortality, less ventilator days, and reduced renal failure in this study.The Joint Trauma System (JTS) Burn Care CPG still emphasizes early consultation with a burn center — phone a friend early.This approach has direct application for prolonged field care and austere environments, though the study is retrospective and should be implemented thoughtfully.Whether you're a special operations medic, flight paramedic, or managing burns in a resource-limited setting, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about burn shock resuscitation.Resources:prolongedfieldcare.org (free downloads, worksheets & more)Follow @prolonged_field_care on InstagramJTS Burn Care CPG (CPG #12) – includes the excellent burn resuscitation worksheetChapters: 00:00 – Introduction: Why Burn Care Still Terrifies Experienced Medics03:09 – The Horrifying Reality of Over-Resuscitation (Edema Photos & Leaky Pipe Analogy)05:30 – Understanding the Glycocalyx and Why Crystalloid Leaks So Fast09:05 – The One-Third Rule Myth & Why Fluids Disappear in Sick Burn Patients11:14 – Parkland Formula Breakdown: History, Math & Its Biggest Flaw13:00 – The New Study: PICO, Methods & the Shift to 2 mL/kg + Early Plasma16:54 – Elevator Pitch: What This Paper Actually Found20:06 – Primary Results: Dramatically Less Fluid with the Restrictive Protocol21:24 – Urine Output Reality Check: Why the “Less Fluid” Group Still Hit Targets24:23 – Practical Protocol Breakdown: Who Gets 2 mL vs 3 mL + When to Give Plasma25:30 – Adjusted Body Weight Calculation Explained (and Why It Matters)27:26 – Titration to Urine Output is King – Stop Chasing Vitals29:55 – Dennis Rates the Evidence on the PFC Gestalt Scale30:38 – Why Plasma Makes Physiologic Sense (and Whole Blood May Be Next)35:30 – Study Limitations & Provider Bias Discussion37:30 – Can We Implement This in Prolonged Field Care Right Now?38:38 – JTS Burn Care CPG: The Burn Center Contact You Need to Save42:53 – Final Advice: Titrate Aggressively, Phone a Friend Early, Close the GapFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠

Dear White Women
30: The Supreme Court Ruled on Transgender Athletes: Here's Who Got Left Out of the Story - Airs 7-14-26 - with Schuyler Bailar

Dear White Women

On June 30th, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled that states can bar transgender girls and women from competing on girls' and women's teams. Six to three. It's now the law in over half the country.   And however you feel about that ruling, here's what we noticed in the days after it came down: almost none of the coverage actually talked to a transgender kid, or the parent raising one. It was all policy. All abstraction. It is a decision that, on paper, is about Title IX and biological sex and constitutional interpretation.   But underneath all that legal language is something much more personal: real kids, real families, real teams, and real decisions about who gets to belong. And let's not forget: argued by people who've never sat across from an eight-year-old who already knows she's going to be treated differently.   So we went back into our archive. A while back, we sat down with a remarkable mom, Jaime, raising a transgender daughter in Florida. And more recently, we talked with Schuyler - you might know him as Pink Manta Ray - a multiethnic Korean American trans educator, the first transgender Division 1 athlete on a men's team while at Harvard, and author of He, She, They:    How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters.   We're combining pieces of both conversations into one episode, because we think you need both things right now: Jaime's story, to feel it - and Schuyler's clarity, to know what to actually say and not say when it comes up in your own life. These aren't talking points. These are ways to simply see the humanity in each other. Please listen, and share widely.   What to listen for:   Intersectionality, and Schuyler's own experience growing up biracial    The importance of exploring why you are who you are – for ALL of us – when it comes to gender   The quick takedown of the arguments from people working to push trans women out of women's sports  A bullet-pointed list of what NOT to say to transgender folks   How to remind yourself of joy and a sense of thriving in the world, when it gets rough  What Schuyler wants cisgender, heterosexual women to do differently, once you listen to the episode   About Schuyler:   Schuyler Bailar (he/him) is an educator, advocate, and bestselling author who made history as the first transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA Division 1 men's team. Originally recruited to swim for the Harvard women's team, Schuyler made the difficult choice to transition while potentially giving up the prospect of being a women's NCAA Champion. His story has appeared everywhere from 60 Minutes to The Washington Post and The Ellen Show. Schuyler's tireless advocacy has earned him numerous honors, including Forbes 30 Under 30  and the Out 100. In 2023, Schuyler's critically acclaimed nonfiction bestseller became the preeminent resource on trans inclusion: He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters. Schuyler's works include his middle-grade novel Obie Is Man Enough, his online gender literacy training LaneChanger.com, and his hit podcast Dear Schuyler, including exclusive interviews with trans icons and allies like Lia Thomos, Dylan Mulvaney, Rafael de la Fuente, and many more.    Follow Schuyler on Instagram @pinkmantaray     About Jaime: Jaime Jara is a woman who wears many hats. A native New Yorker, she navigates daily life in Florida with her husband, 3 kids, and a plethora of furbabies.  She lends her voice and perspective as a parent of a transgender child to shed light on the challenges faced by the trans community. Jaime is an active member of the national LGBTQ organizations that aim to empower and support parents of LGBTQ children. After a long stint in corporate America, Jaime is putting her graduate degree to good use by starting her second career as an educator. She has been a guest speaker at schools, participated in panels and research studies, and appeared on television to advocate for transgender acceptance and inclusion. She has penned numerous essays about her journey with her trans child.  Jaime aspires to be signing copies of her bestselling novel one day, when she finally slows down enough to write it.    You can follow her journey with her family on Instagram@Jaidonna19.    Resources:     PFLAG National    Mama Dragons    National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network (NQTTCN)     Trans Lifeline - 1-877-565-8860    Human Rights Campaign    Stand With Trans    Black Trans Advocacy Coalition    Trevor Project Lifeline -  1-866-488-7386    GLAAD    "I can't even get my kids to eat vegetables, let alone change genders…" - Jaime Jara

Episode Description: Social media has convinced women that they need to lower their cortisol to lose belly fat, sync their workouts to their menstrual cycle, eat differently depending on their cycle phase, avoid heavy lifting to stay lean, and take a stack of longevity supplements to live longer. Dr. Mary Pardee is here to call most of that what it is. Dr. Mary is a naturopathic and functional medicine doctor, one of Dr. G's closest friends, and one of the most evidence-based voices in the wellness space. This is her third time on Heal Thy Self and she is not holding back. From LDL cholesterol to VO2 max to the Mediterranean diet to cold plunge, she is cutting through the noise and giving women the clearest, most direct framework for actually living longer. In this episode, you'll discover:  •  Why LDL cholesterol is causative for heart disease the way smoking is causative for lung cancer, what numbers to actually target at different life stages, and why plaque formation begins in your 20s  •  The truth about cycle syncing workouts and food, why it is a marketing tactic designed to confuse a vulnerable population into buying something, and what the research actually says about training through your cycle  •  How to structure protein intake for muscle building, the exact grams per kilogram targets for different goals, and why women are still chronically under eating protein even in 2026 Plus the labs every woman should be running, what a DEXA scan actually reveals about body composition, and why cold plunge has no longevity evidence behind it while sauna does.

Steven Koonin joins John Anderson for an in-depth conversation exploring the science, engineering and economics behind today's climate debate. Drawing on decades of experience in physics, energy research and public policy, Koonin argues that while climate change is real, many public discussions fail to capture the uncertainty, nuance and trade-offs contained within the scientific evidence. Together they examine what climate models can reliably predict and why careful analysis matters when shaping long-term policy.The conversation also explores Australia's energy future, the challenges of maintaining reliable electricity grids, the potential role of nuclear power, and the balance between affordability, energy security and environmental responsibility. Koonin reflects on scientific integrity, technological innovation and why societies benefit when evidence, rather than politics, remains at the centre of public debate.Steven E. Koonin is the Edward Teller Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. He served as the undersecretary for science in the US Department of Energy under President Obama from 2009 to 2011, and was the lead author of the US Department of Energy's Strategic Plan (2011) and the inaugural Department of Energy Quadrennial Technology Review (2011).

Netflix rewrites beloved characters, Sony walks away from physical media, Westeros delivers, and DC Studios stumbles out of the gate again. This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl discuss Netflix's handling of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 and why disrespecting beloved characters is becoming one of streaming's biggest problems. They also break down Sony's latest PlayStation decisions and what they mean for the future of physical media and game ownership. Then it's back to Westeros for House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 2 before wrapping things up with their review of Supergirl (2026) and whether DC Studios has another winner on its hands. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Playstation Kill Physical Media: 06:07 AtLAB, Netfilx is why we can’t have nice things: 28:20 House of the Dragon: 41:57 Supergirl: 56:27 PlayStation Announces the End of Physical Media Announcement Date: July 1, 2026 Effective Date: January 2028 Company: Sony Interactive Entertainment Summary: Sony announced that beginning in January 2028, all new PlayStation games will be released digitally only, ending production of physical Blu-ray game discs for future releases. Games already released—or scheduled for release before the 2028 cutoff—will continue to be sold on disc, but every new title afterward will require a digital download through the PlayStation Store or participating retailers. Sony says the decision reflects changing consumer habits, noting that digital purchases now account for roughly 80% of full-game sales on PlayStation. Key Details: – Physical discs for new PlayStation releases end in January 2028. – Existing disc-based games will continue to work and remain available while supplies last. – Retailers will transition to selling digital download codes instead of boxed games. – Sony says the move follows overwhelming consumer preference for digital purchases. Why It Matters: – Gamers lose the ability to buy, sell, trade, or lend future PlayStation games. – Collectors will no longer have physical editions for new releases. – Consumers become increasingly tied to Sony's digital storefront and licensing model. – Preservation advocates worry that future games could become inaccessible if licensing changes or digital storefronts eventually close. – Digital-only distribution gives publishers greater pricing control by reducing competition from the used-game market. Discussion Points: – Do you really own a digital game, or are you simply purchasing a revocable license? – What happens to game preservation when no physical copy exists? – Will digital-only distribution lead to higher prices due to reduced retail competition? – Is convenience worth giving up ownership rights? – Does this set the stage for the PlayStation 6 to become a fully digital platform? Industry analysts increasingly believe so. Infamous Take: While digital downloads are undeniably convenient, this announcement marks the end of an era. Physical media has always given players tangible ownership, resale value, and long-term access independent of corporate licensing agreements. Sony's decision may make business sense, but it also shifts even more control away from consumers and toward platform holders; a trend that extends far beyond gaming. Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix) Season: 2 Platform: Netflix Summary: Brian and Darryl discuss Netflix's continued adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and why they believe the series is losing sight of what made the original so beloved. The conversation focuses on major character changes, the difference between adaptation and rewriting, and why respecting the heart of the source material matters just as much as updating it for a modern audience. House of the Dragon (HBO Max) Season 3, Episode 2 Title: Queen’s Landing Air Date: June 28, 2026 Director: Clare Kilner Writer: Sara Hess Summary: Following the devastating Battle of the Gullet, Rhaenyra's grief quickly turns into resolve as Team Black moves to seize King's Landing. Alicent secretly conspires to surrender the city in hopes of saving part of her family, while Daemon returns to continue the campaign. The episode marks a major turning point in the Dance of the Dragons as alliances shift, old loyalties collapse, and Rhaenyra finally claims the Iron Throne at tremendous personal cost. Rating out of 5 Otto Not So Hightower Brian: 4.5/5 Darryl: 4.45/5 Supergirl (2026) Release Date: June 26, 2026 Runtime: 108 minutes Director: Craig Gillespie Writer: Ana Nogueira Based On: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely Studio: DC Studios Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures Summary: Kara Zor-El embarks on a brutal interstellar journey alongside the young warrior Ruthye Marye Knoll to hunt down the man responsible for murdering Ruthye's family. Along the way, Kara confronts her own trauma while facing the ruthless Krem of the Yellow Hills, resulting in a darker, more cosmic take on the Girl of Steel than previous film adaptations. Main Cast: – Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl – Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll – Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills – Jason Momoa as Lobo – David Krumholtz as Zor-El – Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze – David Corenswet as Superman (cameo) Production Notes: The second film in DC Studios' new shared universe adapts Tom King's acclaimed Woman of Tomorrow storyline, emphasizing Kara's emotional scars and cosmic adventures over a traditional superhero origin. Despite strong expectations and praise for Milly Alcock's performance, the film opened below box office projections and received mixed critical reception, making it one of the first commercial disappointments of the new DC Universe.

You've been standing on the sidelines. Watching your voice shrink every time the room gets uncomfortable. Letting fear dictate what you say, who you become, and how small you're willing to stay just to avoid the backlash. Here's the truth: the cost of silence is always higher than the cost of speaking up. And the moment you stop apologizing for what you believe is the moment you stop living someone else's script. Zuby is an Oxford educated rapper, bestselling author, and one of the most uncompromising independent thinkers alive. He's built a career using his voice to challenge narratives, spark real conversations, and inspire millions to stop waiting for permission to live boldly. In this episode, he breaks down the exact frameworks for building a life that means something, why usefulness beats happiness as a North Star, and the one practice that turns avoidance into courage. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the biggest killer of men under 50 is themselves and what that says about purpose, meaning, and the fundamental pillars that have been knocked out of modern life The moral duty to be strong: why it's not wrong to be weak, but it's wrong to voluntarily remain weak, and how competence builds confidence that serves others How to overcome fear when the people you love want you to stay the same and why listening to everyone doesn't mean taking everyone's advice The zoom out framework: fear God not man, remember most people have it harder than you do, and recognize you asked for the life you're living Why meaning comes from knowing what you actually value, not what society told you to prioritize, and how trade offs are the secret to building a life you designed instead of inherited Stop shrinking. Start speaking. The world doesn't need another person playing it safe.

What if every purchase you make is actually a vote for the kind of world you want to live in?Most of us have heard the phrase "vote with your dollar," but David Gaines has spent years figuring out what that actually looks like in practice. Building on the foundation of his first book, Radical Business, David returns to dig into the consumer side of the equation with his upcoming release, Why We Buy and Why It Matters. The premise starts with a reframe: consumerism isn't the villain we've made it out to be. At its core, it's a celebration of humanity's interdependence, and reclaiming that idea might be one of the most powerful things we can do right now.David walks through what it means to become a conscious consumer without requiring a higher income bracket or a complete lifestyle overhaul. The entry point is simpler than most people expect: slow down, peek behind the curtain, and find one brand whose values align with yours. Become a super fan. Then bring three to five people along for the ride. That's not idealism, he argues, it's how movements actually start.The conversation also zooms out to the bigger picture, touching on the death of an extractive economy, the rise of an equitable one, and why David genuinely believes the next generation is positioned to make that shift happen faster than we think. With Why We Buy dropping November 10th, right between election day and Black Friday, the timing is anything but accidental.Episode in a glance02:14 What Radical Business set out to do07:28 What conscious capitalism actually means11:08 Redefining consumerism as fundamentally human16:17 David's personal 30-day conscious consumption challenge21:02 The Future of Conscious ConsumerismAbout David GainesDavid Gaines is the founder and chief visionary of La Terza Coffee, a Cincinnati-based artisan roastery built on direct relationships with coffee producers around the world.

On The Jeff Dornik Show, investigative journalist Ken Silva breaks down the unanswered questions from his book The Trump Assassination Plots: What the Investigations Missed and Why It Matters, including the Butler security failures, the Secret Service sniper timeline, the AGR building, the missing accountability, the Ryan Routh golf course attempt, and why the official “lone wolf, nothing to see here” narrative is aging about as gracefully as a government press release written during a printer jam.Jeff Dornik and Ken Silva dig into why the Trump administration, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, the FBI, the Secret Service, and conservative media have failed to deliver real transparency, while Americans are expected to nod politely as the same agencies that botched the security, buried the questions, and protected their own reputations ask us to trust them again. Very comforting, really, in the same way a fox guarding the henhouse becomes less concerning after it releases a strongly worded memo about poultry safety.SPONSORS- Restore life to your water through deep earth minerals from Aurmina - https://jeffdornik.com/water- Order the book Church & State: How the Left Used the Church to Conquer America, using code JEFF for $5 of - https://gatekeepersonline.com- Strap on NADS' organic, non-toxic cotton sanctuary for your most precious assets and honor the temple God gave you with uncompromising comfort and health.

Muslim commies are completing their conquest of New York City. Now they're coming for America, too. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) was able to get three radical socialists to win their congressional primaries, which has former mainstream Democrats panicking. President Trump got some huge wins on immigration, as the Supreme Court ruled that asylum-seekers can be turned back at the border and that the Trump administration can begin deportations of Syrians and Haitians who were on Temporary Protected Status. Antifa members in North Texas were sentenced to 100 years in prison for their attack on an ICE facility, including my former nemesis. Second lady Usha Vance mocked the New York Times after the outlet released a fashion critique of what she is wearing during her pregnancy.

Over the last decade, white evangelicals in the U.S. have lost their moral credibility. In response, Peter Wehner says the church should embrace a form of "Christian humanism." The Holy Post crew discusses his article, what he gets right, and why that label may be a barrier for some. Kaitlyn interviews biblical scholar Michael Rhodes about his book,"Reimagining Biblical Politics: What Scripture Says About Public Life and Why It Matters." Rather than looking to specific verses to define our political positions, Rhodes says we must allow all of Scripture to shape our imaginations and then use discernment as we engage our unique political context.

What if "doing good" in business isn't a checkbox, but seven different relationships you're already part of, whether you realize it or not?About This EpisodeDavid didn't set out to become a coffee guy. He started as a business coach who got pulled into La Terza Coffee because his friend, a coffee expert with zero interest in the business side, needed help running the company he'd built. What David found was a business already wired for impact, built on relationships with coffee producers around the world and questions most companies never ask, like what actually counts as a living wage versus fair trade.That question became an obsession. David started digging into what "good" really means for a business, and the answer turned out to be messier than he expected. A trip to a coffee farm in Honduras, watching a woman sort coffee cherries with what he can only describe as joy, gave him the framework he'd been missing: treat people the way you want to be treated. Not as a slogan, but as a lens for every relationship a business touches.From that single idea, David built out what he calls the Seven Seeds, covering the supply chain, your team, your customers, your community, your competitors, the environment, and yourself. In this conversation, he walks through where each seed came from, why the team culture seed might be the one with the deepest impact, and why self care is often the hardest and most overlooked piece of the whole puzzle. It sets the stage for part two, where David turns the lens around and asks what it means to be a conscious consumer.Episode in a glance00:56 How David ended up running La Terza Coffee04:11 The anger and sadness behind David's drive for impact05:34 Fair trade vs. living wage: the relationships behind the coffee08:02 What does "good" actually mean in business?08:15 The coffee farm moment that sparked the Seven Seeds12:06 Introducing the Seven Seeds framework12:49 Seed 1 (Supply Chain) and Seed 2 (Team Members)15:44 Seed 3 (Customers), Seed 4 (Community), Seed 5 (Competitors)18:23 Seed 6 (Environment) and Seed 7 (Yourself)19:30 Advice for social entrepreneurs just getting started21:05 Advice for social entrepreneurs just getting started23:22 Teaser: the next book on conscious consumerismAbout David GainesDavid Gaines is the founder and chief visionary of La Terza Coffee, a Cincinnati-based artisan roastery built on direct relationships with coffee producers around the world.

This week, host Sam Ko goes upstream from our usual clinical and business topics to sit down with Dr. Roberto Malinow, emeritus professor at UC San Diego, member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine, and one of the world's leading researchers on synaptic plasticity and NMDA receptor biology. His work has been cited more than 30,000 times, and his recent perspective piece takes a very different view of what's actually happening during a ketamine infusion.The core of this conversation is his hypothesis that ketamine works by selectively weakening hyperactive brain circuits, but only the ones actively firing while the drug is on board. It's a finding that raises some genuinely uncomfortable questions about the standard set and setting approach, and points to chronic pain treatment as a practical place to start testing these ideas clinically.You'll also hear about the brain's "disappointment center," the lateral habenula, and why it may be hyperactive in depression, the Stanford anesthesia study and what it suggests about brain activity during treatment, and a wide ranging look at consciousness, optogenetics, the gut-brain connection, and what basic science still doesn't fully understand about how psychiatric drugs work.What You'll Learn in This Episode· Revolutionary ketamine mechanism - How Dr. Malinow's hypothesis suggests ketamine works by weakening hyperactive brain circuits, but only when those specific circuits are actively firing during treatment· The disappointment center concept - Understanding the lateral habenula as the brain's disappointment center that inhibits dopamine and may be hyperactive in depression, serving an evolutionary purpose in reinforcement learning· Challenge to set and setting orthodoxy - How activating negative thoughts or painful experiences could possibly enhance therapeutic outcomes· Neuroplasticity fundamentals - How synapses can be rapidly modified and why NMDA receptors are crucial for both strengthening and weakening neural pathways, forming the basis for learning and memory· Rapid vs. delayed therapeutic effects - Why ketamine can work almost immediately while traditional antidepressants take weeks, and what this reveals about different mechanisms of action· Chronic pain treatment implications - How activating pain circuits during ketamine infusions might be more effective than current protocols, and why chronic pain could be the ideal testing ground for this hypothesis· Basic science translation - How laboratory findings about synaptic plasticity and NMDA receptors connect to real-world therapeutic applications in depression, PTSD, and pain management· Optogenetics technology - How scientists can now deliver light-sensitive proteins to specific neurons, allowing precise activation or inactivation of brain circuits to study behavior and memory· Memory manipulation research - Fascinating studies showing how specific memories can be turned on and off using targeted brain stimulation, with implications for trauma and addiction treatment· Consciousness and synaptic function - Exploring the complex relationship between individual neurons and higher-order brain functions, and why bridging these levels remains challengingEpisode 59 show notes:00:00:00 Teaser: Those hyperactive circuits…00:00:24 Episode Introduction and Guest Overview00:01:12 Sam Introduces and Welcomes Dr. Roberto Malinow00:02:41 Background: From Reed College to The MD/PhD Path00:05:17 Why Basic Science Won Out Over Clinical Medicine00:06:06 The Lecture That Started It All: Professor Rodolfo Llinás and Synapses00:06:51 How Ketamine Interacts with the NMDA Receptor00:07:47 The "Disappointment Center": What the Lateral Habenula Does and Why It Matters in Depression00:09:16 The Standard Set and Setting Approach in Outpatient Ketamine Clinics00:10:12 The Three-Part Hypothesis: Neuroplasticity, Hyperactive Circuits, and Negative Thoughts00:11:49 Written Exposure Therapy and PTSD: Priming Circuits Before the Infusion00:12:53 Chronic Pain as the Easier Testing Ground for the Hypothesis00:14:20 Activating the Pain Pathways During a Ketamine Infusion00:17:23 The Anesthesia Study (Heifets/Stanford): Why the Brain Needs to Be Active00:18:48 What Would a Human Study Design Actually Look Like?00:20:41 Animal Study Evidence Supporting the Active-Stimulus Hypothesis00:21:33 Zooming Out: Synapses, Consciousness, and the Shakespeare Analogy00:23:18 Optogenetics Explained: Using Light to Control Specific Neurons00:27:31 What Don't We Understand About Depression?00:28:29 Lateral Habenula in Animal Depression Models and Dr. Malinow's Own Experiments00:29:13 The Dystopian Scenario: Using Ketamine-Like Drugs to Wipe Out Ideas00:31:31 Common Misconceptions Clinicians Have About Synapses00:32:47 What Surprised Dr. Malinow Most About Studying Synapses00:35:15 Why Ketamine Works Rapidly While SSRIs Take Weeks00:37:30 The "Party Trick": Learning Is Neuroplasticity in Real Time00:39:13 NMDA Receptors and Their Role in Learning and Memory00:39:47 Optogenetics Research: Turning Fear Memories On and Off in Animals00:42:08 Glutamate: 90% of Synaptic Transmission Explained00:43:55 Synapses in the Gut: The Enteric Nervous System00:45:58 The Gut-Brain Connection and Future Research00:46:23 Papers Worth Reading in the Ketamine Space00:47:50 The Psychedelic Renaissance: Psilocybin, the Disappointment Center, and What's Next00:50:20 Could the Activation Hypothesis Apply to Psilocybin and MDMA as Well?00:52:57 Rapid-Fire Questions Begin00:53:19 Time Travel00:54:19 Hidden Talent00:54:48 Alternate Career00:55:42 Advice to 18-Year-Old Roberto00:56:29 Final Thoughts and Call to Action for Clinicians00:57:00 Where to Find Dr. Malinow's Research (UCSD Website)00:57:40 Sam's Closing Remarks00:58:32 Episode EndingThanks for listeningConnect with Dr. Malinow:Website: https://biology.ucsd.edu/research/faculty/rmalinowEmail: rmalinow@ucsd.edu

219. Why ROGD Teens Tune Out Parents' Warnings — and the Alter-Casting Fix

You Must Be Some Kind of Therapist

Why does your teen tune you out? It might have to do with the role your message unconsciously casts her in. "Alter-casting" refers to the way every message you send implicitly assigns a role or identity to the person you're speaking with. If the role you cast your child in conflicts with how they want to see themselves, your message will be rejected — no matter how accurate, loving, or urgent it is.I walk through a concrete example: a mother warning her teenage daughter about predators online. The mother's intention is protective love. What the daughter hears is: "You think I'm a naive, helpless child." That identity is intolerable to an adolescent fighting for autonomy — and so the message fails entirely. I explain how this same dynamic plays out when parents share detransitioner videos with their kids, and why that approach almost always backfires for this exact reason.The episode also covers practical tools from ROGD Repair, including the alter-casting Venn diagram (mapping the overlap between what you see in your child, and what they see in their idealized self-image, even if aspirational); the strategic use of self-deprecating humor and strategic naivete; and the accusation audit — a technique for front-loading anticipated criticism in a way that actually invites your child into a more generous, gracious response. I close with a broader reflection on what this work really is: seeing beneath the performance to the real person underneath, and helping them become who they're meant to be.This podcast episode doubles as an ROGD Repair bonus lesson.

#429 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Viola Rose about the collective sense of change happening in the world and why she believed people were being called to live more from the heart. Viola explained how the mind often created reality through duality, while the heart offered a path toward unity, love, and deeper inner peace. She shared practices for moving awareness from the head into the heart and described how this helped people heal trauma, quiet the mind, and live with more ease.  They also discussed the Merkaba, sound healing, the power of the voice, and how nature, vibration, and frequency supported personal transformation.  By the end, Viola reflected that while she did not claim to know all the answers, she had chosen to live with love, service, joy, and trust in the mystery of life. About Viola: I am a "Transformational Sound Artist" and have been combining Music and Healing as "Sound-Healing" in my own inspired way for over 25 years. A Multi-Instrumentalist and inspired Vocalist, I enjoy playing Handpan, Gong, various Flutes, Shamanic drum, Sansula, Didgeridoo, and more. Yet, for sure, my favorite instrument is my voice.  I am a facilitator for Drunvalo Melchizedek's "School of Remembering". I completed my Teacher training with Drunvalo in 2012. Since then I have taught about 100 4-day Awakening The Illuminated Heart workshops to well over 1000 people all over the West coast and Hawaii, and over the last 3 years online as well.

This week's Mining the Media explored several stories connected by a common theme: leadership. G.K. opened the program by examining Vice President J.D. Vance's growing role in communicating U.S. policy toward Iran, concerns surrounding modern political polling, and why CNN's Harry Enten continues to earn respect by following the data wherever it leads. The discussion also covered Tulsi Gabbard's release of documents raising new questions about Anthony Fauci, Major League Baseball's treatment of Christian players, and an interesting look at a unique cool-water region associated with the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean. Those stories led naturally into this week's Crusty's Corner: "Biblical Leadership vs. Professional Leadership: Where They Agree, Where They Differ, and Why It Matters." Too often biblical leadership and professional leadership are portrayed as competing philosophies. In reality, they share significant common ground. Both value results, character, excellence, accountability, authority, and influence. The greatest differences are often found not in leadership techniques, but in purpose, motivation, and ultimate accountability. In this episode, Dave Jeffers explores where these two leadership models intersect, where they differ, and why understanding both can help leaders become more effective, trustworthy, and faithful in their responsibilities. Whether you're leading a business, a ministry, a military unit, a civic organization, or simply your own family, this discussion offers practical insights into the kind of leadership our culture desperately needs.

President Trump finally signed a deal to end the fighting with Iran, and it's about time for us to get back to our America First agenda. But the most curious thing is that the White House is becoming more outspoken about how Israel almost tanked the deal, and it's not mincing words. The alleged ringleader behind the White House terror plot during last weekend's UFC Freedom 250 was arrested, and surprise, surprise — he's an illegal alien that Obama let stay in the country. I highlight some of the absurd stories that CNN is reporting on instead of covering all the fraud in America. Democrat Texas state Rep. James Talarico's tough-guy act has fallen apart, as it has been exposed that his mother shares his bank account with him and financially covered for him into his 30s. ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 Sponsors: ► PreBorn Donate securely at https://www.preborn.com/sara or dial #250, keyword BABY. ► Craftco Premium Buy online at https://www.FlyingAceSpirits.com and use code BLAZE for free shipping ► Blaze TV Head over to https://www.BlazeTV.com/SARA and use promo code SARA to get $20 off your subscription.

In the middle of the twentieth century, the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons seemed inevitable. The number of countries with nukes was climbing rapidly, and the idea of stopping the nuclear arms race seemed like a pipe dream.  But that's exactly what happened. Over the course of 60 years, nations around the world agreed to nuclear red lines, slowdowns, and even disarmament. How did this happen? Largely because of technology.  The biggest obstacle to agreeing on nuclear red lines was that adversaries couldn't trust any promise the other made. They needed to know the number of warheads, the amount of enriched uranium, or whether a nuclear device was for a weapon or a power plant. None of that was possible until we built the tech needed to verify those things.  Today, we're in a similar situation with AI. For adversaries like the United States and China to agree on reasonable AI red lines on issues like bioweapons, cyber hacking, or the risk of recursive self-improvement, they first need to be able to trust each other. We urgently need to build the verification technology that would make that trust possible.  In this episode, Tristan sits down with two experts in this field to discuss the kinds of verification technology we need for AI, the challenges of building it, and the world it could unlock if we do. Tim Fist is the Director of Emerging Technology Policy at the Institute for Progress, and Janet Egan is Senior Fellow and Deputy Director for the Technology and National Security Program at the Center for New American Security.

The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 162: You May Be Making Decisions in the Dark — Jacques Santucci on Financially Preparing Your Business for the Future   In this episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker sits down with Jacques Santucci, President of Opus Consulting, for a grounded, practical conversation about one of the most underutilized levers in family business: financial leadership. Jacques brings a rare combination of international business experience — from Ernst & Young in France to CFO roles in the US — and 17 years of consulting to privately held and family-owned businesses across New England and beyond. Together, Chris and Jacques break down the critical differences between a bookkeeper, controller, and CFO; why so many family businesses are making major decisions with months-old data; what the early warning signs of financial trouble actually look like before an owner recognizes them; and why the fractional CFO model has become one of the most accessible and high-impact resources available to growing family firms. They also explore what a meaningful financial education pathway looks like for the rising generation — not to make them accountants, but to ensure they can read a P&L, understand a balance sheet, talk to a banker, and make decisions grounded in fact rather than gut feeling.

Jacques is particularly skilled in helping businesses navigate complex inflection points and difficult industries, with over 20 years of experience in turnarounds and restructurings. He frequently serves as a restructuring officer, court-appointed receiver, or turnaround advisor — bringing disciplined execution and a practical, hands-on approach to each engagement. In his capacity as a fractional CFO, Jacques utilizes his strategic and financial expertise to help companies improve fiscal controls, cash flow, and align financial operations with long-term goals. From his frontline perspective in restructuring and turnarounds, he is keenly aware of the financial decisions and factors that lead companies into distress — and works with business leaders to avoid those pitfalls earlier in the business lifecycle. Jacques built his career as a strategic finance leader, holding senior roles at Ernst & Young and Universal Pictures in Paris, France, before bringing his expertise to privately held and family-owned businesses across the United States.

In this episode, Celeste explores HeartMath — a research-backed system that uses heart coherence to regulate your nervous system, manage stress, and support emotional healing. What Is HeartMath? Developed by the HeartMath Institute, this approach is built on 30+ years of research showing that the heart and brain are in constant communication — and that your emotional state directly shapes your heart rhythm, which in turn affects how you think, feel, and respond. **Key Concepts -Heart coherence — a state where your heart, brain, and nervous system are in sync; you feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded - HRV (Heart Rate Variability)** — a measure of nervous system flexibility and resilience; HeartMath techniques shift your HRV into a healthier pattern - The heart sends *more* signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart — your emotional state is a physiological event, not just a mental one Quick Coherence® Technique (60 seconds) 1. Shift your focus to your heart area and breathe slowly — inhale 5–6 seconds, exhale 5–6 seconds 2. Recall something or someone that brings genuine feelings of appreciation or calm 3. Hold that feeling while continuing to breathe Use this before a hard conversation, in a stressful moment, or as a daily reset. Why It Matters for Healing Many people carrying unresolved trauma are stuck in survival mode — the body hasn't gotten the message that it's safe. Heart coherence techniques give you a body-based tool to interrupt that cycle in real time, not just talk about it. --- Resources - HeartMath Institute: heartmath.org - Inner Balance™ Coherence Plus App (HRV biofeedback) - *The HeartMath Solution* by Doc Childre & Howard Martin - Celeste's website: celestethetherapist.com
