We wanted to understand why a Jewish candidate defeated another Jewish candidate in one of America's most Jewish congressional districts. So we talked to three Evangelical Christians at a gun show in northern Idaho.

A bit of a reset episode after a long gap in which I got some new sources. Going back over the early years of Hildebrand, a bit of catch up on the house of Tuscany, etc. This is part one of three. wittenbergtowestphaliapodcast.weebly.com/blog/episode...

All else aside, the fact that the US apparently doesn't have the capacity to escort convoys through Hormuz after cancelling multiple very expensive destroyer and frigate programs in favor of battleship vaporware and aircraft carriers is certainly a certain kind of thing.

What is it like - all instrumental, sounds like surfer rock mixed with jazz. Many songs have a Casio keyboard so it basically sounds like Legend of Zelda level music played over riff heavy rock music.

So I guess I should post about this here so everyone sort of knows what's happening. The Child is going back to the hospital, which requires spending days in a different hospital. Meanwhile the state may grace us with a real solution but in the meantime we had no stability.

I interviewed for a job at a planning office in New Hampshire and everyone seemed extremely normal and it creeped me out so I took a job in Rhode Island instead.

I have once again renewed my people's cultural tie with the Chinese people by enjoying a meal from a locally owned, family run business. The 10yo son of the family was working the register and was adorable and precocious in equal measure.

Hey all, I want to apologize for the audio being so low. I've made a few attempts to boost the gain over the years but with the dynamic ad inserts this is BAD. Usually I consider a lack of professionalism an aesthetic for indie podcasting but I am not trying to defend you intentionally.

For anyone who has actually interacted with the homeless population, particularly in the Providence area, the fact that one of them broke the Brown shooting case isn't hugely surprising. So much of the fear and mistrust is comically/tragically misplaced collective guilt.
