The Middle East teeters on edge; Trump meets with Zelenskyy

Hi everyone! Thank you for being here.

Each week, I cover hot spots and critical threats that might affect our country, as well as keep you informed about our military. I end each show by sharing some scripture from the Bible (without being too pushy), and then talk about PTSD and depression (since life is hard and the veteran suicide rate is FAR too high). 

My hope is you end each show better informed, less worried, and more optimistic (about both our country and your life).

Also, huge shout out to those of you whose paid subscriptions make it possible for me to devote time and resources to researching and compiling the news each week.

One quick personal note before getting to the news…

I may have launched another podcast, for those who are interested. 🤣

Gift link from The Washington Post, if you want to learn about Nasrallah or get a quick overview of the tensions and religious conflict inside Beirut. It gives a quick highlight on the past 30 years.
