    Nations around the world are moving to keep kids safe online

    VERBATIM:  At the behest of parents, clergymen and advocates, governments are slowly taking action.  Polish lawmakers are working on national digital safety legislation that would beef up protections for minors.  The French prosecutor’s office is widening an ongoing investigation of various platforms to include sexually explicit deep fakes. And the Indian government has ordered X to take down all “unlawful content”.  Americans wish Congress would do more.  MHREPORTING

  • The WallBuilders Show - Oklahoma’s Marijuana Wake-Up Call

    A simple promise—less prosecution and more freedom—turned into a complex fight against organized crime. We walk through Oklahoma’s hard lessons from “just medical” marijuana: how cheap licenses, light regulation, and an all-cash market drew in well-funded networks using straw owners, laundering money through land purchases, and operating grows tied to trafficking, extortion, and violence. The numbers tell the story: farms ballooned from roughly 2,000 to 8,000 in under three years, then fell to about 1,400 as the state shifted to aggressive audits, license denials, and round-the-clock narcotics enforcement.

    Along the way, we surface the hidden costs that rarely make campaign talking points: dispensary theft targeting product, water and power theft draining rural infrastructure, and property values warped by opportunistic land grabs. We also connect the dots between local licensing and transnational finance, highlighting reported links to Chinese black market networks and high-level intermediaries. When one state tightens up, the operation flows to another; that’s why Minnesota, Michigan, and Maine are seeing sudden spikes in suspicious grows and related crime. Policy doesn’t stop at state lines when the incentives stay high and the scrutiny stays low.

    This isn’t an argument against reform—it’s a call for grown-up policy. Beneficial ownership transparency, strict vetting, financial controls, meaningful penalties, and interagency task forces can change the risk-reward equation for bad actors. Oklahoma’s turnaround shows what happens when you trade stage-one thinking for stage-two strategy. If you care about public safety, local economies, and responsible freedom, this conversation offers a clear blueprint. If it resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who votes on this issue, and leave a review with your take on what your state should do next.

  • Focus on the Family with Jim Daly - Break Free from Bad Habits to Find True Change (Part 2 of 2)

    People may wonder why God allows temptation in the first place, but He often uses our desires and bad habits to reveal His power and grace in our lives, and form our character to be more like Jesus Christ. Dr. Erwin Lutzer describes how renewing our mind and restraining our emotions, and keeping current accounts with God will equip us to fight temptation and sin.
