Going to war may be the gravest decision a nation and its leaders make. At the moment Australia is at war with the Islamic State. We also live in a region that has become much more volatile, as China asserts itself and America seeks to hold the line. What is it like to go to war? How do we decide to go to war? Where might we go to war in the future? Will we get that decision right?

On his 19th birthday, James E. Brown tries to fake to his flight instructor that he has flown before. On his 21st birthday, Brown is on his way home after logging 85 missions in a P-47 fighter over Italy, France, and Germany.

When he stepped down in January 2017 as the fourth US Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper had been President Obama's senior intelligence advisor for six and a half years, longer than his three predecessors combined.

On September 1, 1894, two forest fires converged on the town of Hinckley, Minnesota, trapping over 2,000 people. Daniel J. Brown recounts the events surrounding the fire in the first and only book to chronicle the dramatic story that unfolded. Whereas Oregon's famous "Biscuit" fire in 2002 burned 350,000 acres in one week, the Hinckley fire did the same damage in five hours. The fire created its own weather, including hurricane-strength winds, bubbles of plasmalike glowing gas, and 200-foot-tall flames.

But first he must undertake a mission into Thal territory. A mission that will introduce him to technology and hardware he could only dream of. And it just might teach him a few life lessons, too.

We live in a world that all too often operates under the overriding template of self-promotion, embracing a "hooray for me" attitude, and which measures success in increasingly small timeframes dotted with markers of temporal value.

Some people call me the hardest working man in media. You may have heard or read my work in USA TODAY, WXXI, Rochester City Newspaper, NPR, or the PBS Newshour. You can expect some of that tone here but that’s just the beginning. After working in TV, radio, magazines, newspapers and marketing I think its time to try something different: create a space where I can be my whole self. And who am I? I’m a generalist! Or in the eternal words of Busta Rhymes: “As shorty, I was always told, if I wasn’t going to be apart of the greatest, I gotta be greatest myself.” jamesbrowntv.substack.com

Standing Firm is a podcast of Holy Trinity Reformed Church dedicated to “Standing Firm for the Ancient Faith and against the Ancient Foe until Christ is All in All.” The foundations of America are being destroyed because the pillar and ground of the truth, the Church, has forsaken its call to Biblical liturgy, community and mission.

Standing Firm is earnestly contending for the faith as revealed through the Holy ...

Between 1994 and 1997, James Brown's loaded magazine became the the must-buy and must-be-in publication of the decade. It won every award going, year after year, and came to define not only its audience but also a generation. Bright, loud, funny, provocative, ambitious and careless, loaded was read from the barracks of Afghanistan to the England dressing room at Euro '96. It captured a hedonistic lifestyle of alcohol, cocaine and more. The last great hurrah before the end of the century.
