Will the Church continue Francis’ progressive path or pivot to tradition?

LIVE 3 pm Eastern but you can Stream at your convenience: Don’t miss this episode of DeProgram with hosts John Kiriakou and Ted Rall, delivering razor-sharp analysis on three explosive stories rocking the political sphere. First, they dive into the Ukraine crisis, focusing on President Trump’s proposed peace deal to end the war with Russia. As Trump pushes for a swift resolution, sidelining NATO and pressuring Kyiv, what are the implications for U.S. foreign policy and global alliances? The hosts unpack the deal’s promises and pitfalls, questioning whether it’s a genuine path to peace or a geopolitical gamble. Next, they tackle the Pete Hegseth scandal, where the Defense Secretary allegedly used his personal computer and Signal chats to handle classified Pentagon data.

TMI Show Ep 124: “The LGBTQ Storytime Case: A La Carte Education?”

•
Ted Rall
LIVE 10 am Eastern time; Streaming Anytime: On “The TMI Show,” hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan dive into the U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor, where religious parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, seek to opt their children out of LGBTQ storybook time in public schools. The conservative majority appears poised to rule in favor of the parents, emphasizing religious freedom and parental rights. Manila argues parents should have the right to customize their children’s education, reflecting the views of many who believe public schools should accommodate personal beliefs. Ted, however, contends that allowing such choices undermines a standardized curriculum, questioning what’s next—parents picking specific history or math chapters? On one side, parents assert their constitutional right to guide their children’s moral and religious upbringing, feeling that exposure to certain materials conflicts with their values. On the other, the school board argues that opting out disrupts educational goals of inclusivity and diversity, potentially fragmenting the system if…

The episode, set against the backdrop of recent geopolitical and domestic tensions, offers a sharp, no-nonsense breakdown of these developments, grounded in the latest news. First, the hosts unpack Trump’s proposed peace framework for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has sparked global debate. The plan, discussed in London, would allow Russia to retain most occupied Ukrainian territories, including Crimea, while requiring minor withdrawals. Ukraine would not join NATO. Sanctions would end. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly rejected ceding land, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s decision to skip a ceasefire summit signals U.S. frustration. With Putin open to talks but Zelensky resistant, the hosts explore the diplomatic tightrope and its implications for global stability. Switching…
