Donald Trump held a press conference this week that was so crazy it left the entire world questioning the sanity of the man that is about to become President again. Trump ranted for 70 minutes about everything under the sun, including using military force to take over Greenland and the Panama Canal; windmills; electric heaters that make you "itch"; Hezbollah apparently being part of the Capitol Riot; and how horrible America is. There's no doubt that there's something seriously wrong with this man.As his father escalates his threats to take over Greenland, Donald Trump, Jr. decided to make a visit to the territory this week, but his trip didn't even last a full 24 hours. Junior declared in a video posted on Instagram - that also featured right wing personality Charlie Kirk, for some reason - that the people of Greenland love his father, but that begs the question as to why he was forced to flee after less than a day.After being shot down by the appellate court in New York this week, Donald Trump immediately ran crying to the United State Supreme Court, begging them to halt his criminal sentencing that is scheduled for Friday. Even with the court's conservative majority, they have still ruled against him in this particular case in the past, so it isn't immediately clear if they are going to bail him out.A shocking new report from a DOJ Inspector General says that multiple officials at the Department of Justice during Donald Trump's last year in office attempted to illegally influence the 2020 election. The plan was to release damning information about Democratic governors during the COVID pandemic, but ONLY Democratic governors. The inspector general suggests that not only was this a violation of election laws, but there were also likely multiple Hatch Act violations, as well.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalancedTwitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=enText and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!

Religions of the World: Questions, Challenges, and New Directions (Equinox Publishing, 2024) is a world religions textbook that provides a critical introduction to the social, political, and cultural interests that inform how people describe and identify with religion. One of its goals is to provide a sense of methodological transparency that few, if any, other textbooks today offer. The book opens with an Introduction that discusses contemporary methodological concerns in the study of religion, with special focus on the World Religions Paradigm. This is followed by ten (10) chapters, six (6) of which discuss a distinct religion and four (4) of which discuss regional traditions. This organization is intentional and self-conscious, as the authors discuss how these scholarly categories (distinct tradition vs. regional tradition) shape the ways that both insiders and outsiders discuss, practice, and engage religion in their daily lives. Leslie Dorrough Smith is Professor of Religious Studies at Avila University and a member of the Women's and Gender Studies faculty. She is the author of Righteous Rhetoric: Sex, Speech, and the Politics of Concerned Women for America (2014) and Compromising Positions Sex Scandals, Politics, and American Christianity (2019). Steven W. Ramey is Chair and Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama, where he also directs the Asian Studies Program. He is the author of Hindu Sufi or Sikh: Contested Practices and Identifications of Sindhi Hindus in India and Beyond (2008) and has edited many volumes, including most recently Hinduism in 5 Minutes (2022). This episode's host, Jacob Barrett, is currently a PhD student in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Religion and Culture track.

Among the BBC's leading journalists, Jonny Dymond recently came to the Philippines for one of the British broadcaster's flagship programs, World Questions, and spoke to Howie Severino about what makes the Philippines interesting to outsiders. He also talks about his coverage of the British royal family (“a surprisingly hard job”) and Russian President Putin (“His mission is about Russia, not communism”).   Dymond explains how the BBC has been able to stand up to the British government despite being funded by taxpayers.   In the face of various threats to journalists around the world, he urges media colleagues to keep believing in their mission. “If you don't have people who are prepared to call out the government, who are prepared to report on the government's successes and failures, then it's impossible to say that you really have a functioning democracy,” Dymond asserts.   “It's easy to be cynical, but coming to the Philippines where I know journalists have been under so much pressure, it kind of straightens my back. It makes me believe again in what we do.”   BBC's World Questions in Manila moderated by Jonny Dymond airs in the Philippines on BBC Radio on March 9 at 8 P.M.   The panelists on the show:   Atty.

Ecuador was once a relatively peaceful country, perhaps best known for its rich biodiverse landscapes, Amazonian rainforests and the world-famous Galapagos Islands. But the murder rate has quadrupled between 2018 and 2022 – an increase caused largely by the drug trade and the violence it brings. Now the country is in the grip of an unprecedented crimewave which has seen a rise in not just murders, but also kidnappings, extortion and widespread corruption. Last month, Ecuador elected a new President, the billionaire businessman Daniel Noboa who at just 35, will be the country's youngest ever leader. Can this politically inexperienced newcomer tackle the powerful drug cartels? With just 18 months until the next election and no majority in the National Assembly - what are his chances?

The Republic of Korea is one of the twentieth century's economic miracles. Poor at the time it split from its neighbour to the north, it now has the fastest internet on the planet and is a world-leading exporter of electronics, cars and culture. Much of what is best in the world can be found in Korea but it faces many of its hardest challenges too. Sky-high property prices, the world's fastest-ageing population, a highly pressurised and competitive society, and as they face the difficult prospect of working and raising a family, 65 percent of Korean women are choosing not to have children. Along with all this, is the worry about the country that shares the Korean Peninsula, Kim Jong Un's nuclear-armed North Korea.
