1. ==> Who is J.D. Vance?
Ohio Senator JD Vance is Donald Trump’s choice as running mate and potentially positions Vance, only 39, as Trump’s heir apparent for the 2028 presidential election. So who is Vance and what does the pick signal for the future of the GOP? Dan Sewell, a retired journalist who has been covering Vance since 2016, says “The Yale Law School alumnus and former Marine is sometimes called a leader of “the New Right,” or a shaper of Trumpism for the future. Although he lacks the elective and government experience of other VP contenders, Vance and Trump always seem comfortable together in public, Vance has a long-friendly relationship with Don Jr., and he has been a loyal and vigorous advocate for Trump this year in myriad national TV interviews.” Sewell can discuss Vance’s politics, his rise within the party and what Ohioans think of their Senator. Dan Sewell is a retired journalist and editor for the Associated Press. He currently writes opinion pieces for the “Cincinnati Enquirer.” Contact him at dsewellrojos@gmail.com
2. ==> Supreme Court Reform Should Get Bipartisan Support
President Joe Biden is weighing a slate of proposals aimed at dramatically reforming the Supreme Court, including imposing term limits and establishing an enforceable code of ethics. Law professor and Supreme Court expert Jeffrey Fisher has long proposed reforms. “Imposing term limits on Supreme Court justices would be good for the country and the court. It would help ease the bitterness of the confirmation process and make the court more representative of the public’s views. And while conservatives might currently balk in light of their 6-3 majority, it’s a change that would not necessarily advantage either side over the long run.” He can explain how reform would work and the likelihood that it could happen before the 2024 election. Jeffrey L. Fisher is a law professor at Stanford Law School; co-director of the Stanford Supreme Court Litigation Clinic; and special counsel at O’Melveny & Myers LLP. He has argued 48 cases in the Court, on issues ranging from criminal procedure to maritime law to civil and human rights. Contact him at (650) 724-7081; jlfisher@law.stanford.edu
3.==> Iran’s Plot to Kill Trump Shows Truth About ‘Moderate’ New Leader
Iran has once again shown its true self to the world, as seen in a plot to kill former President Donald Trump. That, according to Middle East expert Sarah Stern. She says the recently discovered plans show that any portrayal of Iran’s new leader as a moderate or a reformist is clearly wrong, and believing it is dangerous. “We know the West does not want to confront a regime that might well have passed the nuclear threshold. But let’s be careful not to fall for the false dichotomies that autocracies peddle to unsophisticated journalists and foreign policy analysts. With thousands of women arrested, tortured raped or killed under the hijab laws, with Iranian proxies on the march throughout the Middle East, and with the Islamic Republic just days away from assembling a nuclear bomb, there is simply too much at stake.” Sarah Stern is founder and president of the Endowment for Middle East Truth, a think tank and policy institute specializing in the Middle East. She has appeared on Fox, NBC, i24 News and other media outlets. Contact her at (202) 601-7422; info@emetonline.org
4.==> How the CIA Corrupted American Journalism
More and more Americans mistrust the media and Dan Luzadder says their concerns are justified. The Pulitzer prize-winning author of “The Manchurian Journalist” says, “As the nation witnesses the collapse of fact-based, unbiased, democracy-supporting journalism, amid our current political dystopia, a truly free and independent press remains a democratic dream yet unrealized. Rebuilding the dream of a functional media rooted in truth and integrity, committed to the fundamentals of democracy, is dependent on that truth being known.” Luzadder will identify by name the individuals, organizations, and institutions that have influenced the U.S. media for decades, shaping what the public read and believed, and creating myths that undermine historical accuracy. On you show he’ll raise and attempt to answer ominous questions about journalism’s transparency, its fealty to the truth, and how its relationship to secret intelligence interests has distorted what Americans understand about our own political environment. For the past 40 years, Dan Luzadder has worked as a reporter at local newspapers around the country and his freelance work has appeared in the “New York Times” and “New York Daily News.” He is the author of several books and is currently working on a documentary film.

The extinction of the human race is a nebulous concept, so far in the future that we don’t have to think about it – or do we?

10. ==> Loss of Women’s Freedoms Will Impact Generations

Dr. Shila Patel says future generations of women are at risk of losing crucial protections if we don’t turn things around now.

John Nicholas says he accidentally discovered (and applied) the power of nuclear principles at the age of 16, after crashing into a house during a Halloween night car chase with police. “I was desperate for direction and was able to harness a few keys that can totally change your outlook and launch you toward success, no matter what your situation, setbacks or challenges,” he says.

12. ==> The One Thing to Do Every Day to Reach Your Goals
The main reason why most people don’t attain their goals is because they often bite off more than they can chew and get frustrated when they fall short. “That’s because most people focus on a lofty goal instead of their progress,” says Gerald J. Leonard, a successful CEO, author, project management expert and professional musician. “Don’t go for large, lofty goals. Instead, take an inventory of bite-sized milestones, commit to them and celebrate the small-scale wins.” He can share how to change your mind set in order to achieve maximum success. Ask him: What small things can people do to attain their goals? How can we focus on the positive as opposed to all of the things that can go wrong? Gerald is the author of “A Symphony of Choices: How Mentorship Taught a Manager Decision-Making, Project Management, and Workplace Engagement — and Saved a Concert Season.” Contact Gerald J. Leonard at (443) 703-2929; gleonard@rtirguests.com
13. ==> Does This Psychotherapist Hold the Key to Ending Religious Divisiveness?
What if we could stop every disagreement over religion, from fighting with your uncle at Thanksgiving to full-scale holy wars? Author and psychotherapist Joe Masterleo reveals the universal constant that not only encompasses all religions but also bridges the gap between spirituality and science. Until now, he says, the only “solution” we’ve found is to agree to disagree – a theory not everyone subscribes to, and one that only puts off arguments rather than ending them. Ask him: How can God be everywhere at once? Why do you say that heaven is real? What is the all-inclusive theory that unites nature and religion? Are dogs a reflection of God? A psychotherapist for over 50 years, Joe has worked with hundreds of people to help them reconcile their inner conflicts and contradictions along mental-spiritual lines. Joe’s commentaries have appeared in the “Syracuse Post Standard.” He is the author of ” The Ambient Christ: The Untold Story of God in Science, Scripture and Spirituality.” Contact Joe Masterleo at (315) 509-3740 or jmasterleo@rtirguests.com
14. ==> Why the Biggest Domestic Violence Myths Continue

15. ==> Nude Beach Etiquette
There are currently hundreds of naturist beaches around the globe where it’s perfectly legal to drop your shorts and bask on the sand sans bathing suit. Are you curious but nervous to let it all hang out? Talk to Ronna Krozy, a retired professor in her 80s, and a nudist for more than 30 years. She’ll explain the dos and don’ts of shedding your clothes and inhibitions without offending or embarrassing anyone. There’s no single naturist ideology, but typically the lifestyle is about non-sexual social nudity in a family-friendly environment. Behave like you’re at a “church picnic,” says Krozy, who is also public relations chair at the American Association for Nude Recreation, the leading naturist organization in the United States. “Look people in the eye, because that might help you to figure out where to put your attention, and don’t gawk or stare because that is considered rude and impolite,” she says. Taking pictures is also a no-no as is commenting on someone’s body, even if you think you’re delivering a compliment. And while nudists are known for packing light, there’s one item you should never be without. “Always bring a towel with you to sit on, because that is for everybody’s hygiene.” Contact Ronna Krozy at ronna.krozy@aanr.com
