In this aircheck, you will hear a legendary Boston talk show host, a Pittsburgh talk show host of whom I had never heard, an anncr on a small town Ontario station who appears to be picking his own music, and the big station of the Big Easy.
Noted events that date this recording are the terrorist attack at the Rome airport (incidentally, upon which the novel "The Fall of the Sparrow" was based), the death of Ricky Nelson, and talk of a universal remote coming to market.
This video is an hour of great information on wars, both the conflicts we see in the news as well as the war on us.
This video tells how the antichrist and his government could come on the scene and take control of everyone.
The only way to escape the coming one world government in an ultimate sense is to have the seal of God on your forehead. Acts 2 38
This Peterborough artist has an unbelievably soulful voice. As far as her sound is concerned, it ranges from rock with a bit of a country tinge when Burgess is solo, to an expansive alt country undertaking with her band The Emburys. Neither is Burgess bad at blues rock or real rock and roll to boot.
Check her out here.
Though I once, too, believed the allegations and was disappointed when Jackson was found not guilty, this video does confirm some inklings I have had about the pop star and his general situation for years.
Listen to "They Don't Care About Us" for further enlightenment.
This video contains much good information as well as a few things that are worth pondering.
This video gives a basic introduction to the new world order and features the reading of Albert Pike's letter concerning the three world wars.
This letter not only talks about the fruit of the spirit, but also the stages of development Christians need to go through in order to mature.
This letter serves as a great primer on the subject of spiritual gifts.
Keep in mind that God distributes these gifts according to His will.
Also, keep in mind that the devil can manifest his false versions of these gifts, as indicated in Revelation 13. Therefore, just because someone is displaying one or more of these nine gifts, that doesn't automatically mean he is truly a believer. A tree must be judged by its fruit.
This devotional shows just how much Christianity truly is a love relationship with our Creator, Father and King and the kind of bond God wants between Himself and us.
Glad I was sent this sermon on a passage of the Bible which has always confused me a little. The application is something every Christian needs to heed or keep in mind and that every unbeliever should hear so they'll have it in their head when they become a Christian.

North Carolina mom hospitalized after mistaking nail glue for eyedrops
Sarah Rumpf-Whitten By Sarah Rumpf-Whitten Fox News
Published December 31, 2024 6:54pm EST
A North Carolina mother has gone viral on TikTok after sharing that she mistakenly put nail glue, instead of medicated eye drops, into her eyes — leading to a hospital visit.
The painful accident landed the mother, who is also a foster parent, in her local hospital in Concord, North Carolina in December, Fox 4 Dallas reported.
The viral video showed the unnamed woman in a hospital bed with her eyes glued shut.
"Hi, if you are here, then you have seen the viral video of my mother. She has glued her eyes shut," her daughter, Ria Faggart, posted on a GoFundMe page.
Faggart said that her mother's eyes will reopen between 5-7 weeks until they can properly identify if there was any damage.
"We appreciate all of the prayers and concern," she said. "She will be out of work and she is a foster mom, so she does not have disability [insurance]."
This has not been the first time somebody has mistaken nail glue and eye drops.
Brianne Shipley also went viral in October after she had a similar product mixup. The Florida resident picked up her nail glue instead of her eye medication to treat a bacterial eye infection.
"After I got the notification, I blindly reached over, grabbed the bottle, opened my eye with one hand and put the drops in," she told PEOPLE. "As the drop was falling I realized the consistency of the plastic bottle felt wrong. As soon as it hit my eye, I started screaming."

Restaurant leftovers spark debate about food, boxes and to-go etiquette
Is it rude to take home extra bread home after dining? What about using several to-go bags?
By Christine Rousselle Fox News
Published December 30, 2024 5:00am EST
Restaurant portions can be enormous today, so it's no surprise that those who dine out may feel stuffed to the gills with half their meal still on the plate.
In these scenarios, servers often appear with a "box" or "doggy bag" ready to properly house the leftovers for customers' convenience.
But while taking leftovers from a restaurant is common in the United States, it is less so in other countries. And there are some places, such as buffets, where to-go boxes are not a thing.
Two restaurant industry professionals shared their views on when it is OK — and when it's not — to ask for a to-go box after a meal.
Here are three issues that are sparking debate.
1. Is extra bread fair game?
At some restaurant chains Рthink Cheesecake Factory, Texas Road House and Red Lobster Рthe complimentary bread served before the meal is as much of a draw as the entr̩es themselves.
But is it ever OK to take leftover bread home after a meal?
At least one restaurant industry professional said it's just fine.
"It doesn't bother me," Ohio-based Brad Friedlander told Fox News Digital.
"The fact that [customers] want it, that they like it so much they want to take it home – I'm a little bit flattered by that," he added.
Bread, Friedlander also said, is "built into" his restaurant's model.
Another person disagreed with that assessment.
Kelli Ferrell, an Atlanta-based restaurateur, said that she personally is "not a big bread person" — and that she, as a customer dining out, would not take complimentary bread home from a restaurant.
"I get it," she said, noting that the rolls served at Texas Roadhouse are "one of her favorites."
"I think it's like a little treat," she told Fox News Digital.
But she added that for her, taking bread from a restaurant is "a no-go."
2. How many boxes is too many?
Some restaurant patrons wonder if they're being too needy if they ask for separate boxes for separate items, rather than piling everything into one large box.
This is not a big deal, both Ferrell and Friedlander told Fox News Digital.
"In my business, I tell my employees I don't want them to say ‘no’ to anything as long as we can possibly do it," Friedlander said.
Ferrell, whose restaurants focus on breakfast, brunch and lunch, said that she's begun to order smaller boxes to accommodate these requests from customers.
"I don't think it's more of an inconvenience," she said. "I think it's more about knowing — about just making the guest experience more comfortable for [people] and making sure they are feeling appreciated."
Plus, with these accommodations, said Ferrell, customers are more likely to actually enjoy their leftovers the next day.
3. What should not be boxed to go?
While Ferrell said most items are perfectly fine to be packaged to-go, there's one exception: eggs.
"Eggs for me are always kind of a no-no," she said, in terms of being wrapped to go. "I can take everything else but that."
Eggs, she said, are best served hot and freshly cooked.
"The moment that you warm up [eggs] in the microwave — it's just not going to be the same," she said. "They're not going to be as soft and fluffy."
Friedlander said he would trust the customer's judgment when it comes to boxing things to go.
"There are certain things that lend themselves to taking out [after a meal] more than other things," he said.
"A simple broiled item [reheats better] than, let's say, a cream pasta of some kind, which would get all sticky if you took it home," he said.

The 15 Most Anticipated Movies of 2025 That You Can’t Miss
By Ryan Britt Men’s Journal
Updated December 31, 2024 11:55 AM
In 2020, when every single major film was delayed, the world wondered if going to see a movie in the theaters would ever come back. Now, in the post-Barbenheimer era, big movies are back in a big way. 2023 and 2024 were both incredible years for big films, but 2025 is slated to be the biggest cinematic year in a very long time. If there was still a shadow of a doubt that movies weren't totally back, baby, the line-up for 2025 will convince you otherwise.
So, with the new year upon us, here's our ranking of the fifteen most-anticipated movies of 2025; from sequels, reboots, and amazing-looking new films from every genre. If you saw even half of these in the theaters, it's going to make for one helluva of a memorable year.
15. Tron: Ares
It's now been fifteen years since Tron: Legacy returned to the virtual world first introduced in 1982's groundbreaking movie Tron. As the third entry to this very spaced-out sci-fi series, Ares promises to take things in a different direction. Jared Leto will star as a new AI called "Ares" who leaves the virtual Grid for the human world. Jeff Bridges is set to return as Flynn, though there's no word yet if Bruce Boxleitner, Tron himself, will return. (Never forget, "Tron" is the name of the character, not the world!)
The excellent Greta Lee (you remember her from Russian Doll) will also star in Tron: Ares as Eve Kim, a programmer who teams up with Ares. The film will also feature all-new original music from Nine Inch Nails. Yes, you read that correctly. Somehow Daft Punk doing the score for Legacy has been topped.
Tron: Ares hits theaters on October 10.
14. Avatar: Fire and Ash
Do you remember what happened at the end of 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water? Does it matter?
James Cameron's massive spectacle continues, and the planet Pandora will never be the same. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and the rest of the Na'vi gang are back for another utterly immersive dive into this beloved other world.
But, this won't be the last ride. There are (at least) two more Avatars planned after Fire and Ash hits theaters; Avatar 4 in 2029 and Avatar 5 in 2031.
Strap in. It's going to be a long, long ride. And if it seems like it's taking too long for more Avatars to come out, don't worry, James Cameron will totally figure out a way to de-age the audience.
Avatar: Fire and Ash hits theaters on December 19.
13. Cleaner
Daisy Ridley is back, and this time she's in her own version of Die Hard.
Seriously, the upcoming film Cleaner stars Ridley as Joey Locke, a window cleaner who suddenly has to thwart terrorists (led by Clive Owen) who have taken over a high-rise. This looks like a high-octane, action-packed survival movie, which aims to prove, once and for all, that Ridley's action-hero status in Star Wars wasn't a fluke.
Still not convinced this will be awesome? Cleaner is directed by Martin Campbell, the same guy who directed Daniel Craig's first James Bond movie, Casino Royale.
Cleaner hits theaters on February 21.
12. The Running Man
A reboot of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie of the same name, The Running Man is basically the original Hunger Games. Based on a 1982 novel written by Stephen King (under the pen name "Richard Bachman"), the story is in a dystopian future in which the titular "Running Man" has to fight for survival, trapped in a sadistic game show. The original film was a cult classic, but this remake might be even better.
Glen Powell leads the cast, which will also feature Lee Pace, Josh Brolin, Daniel Ezra, Michael Cera, William H. Macy, Emilia Jones, and Katy O'Brien.
The new Running Man will be directed by Edgar Wright - famous for Shaun of the Dead and Baby Driver - meaning this version will be stylish, scary, and utterly unique.
The Running Man hits theaters on November 7.
11. Predator: Badlands
Starring Elle Fanning, the latest in the Predator franchise will take the action to a mysterious future. Not much is known yet about how director Dan Trachtenberg will connect this one to previous installments, but considering how awesome his 2022 Predator prequel was (Prey), it's safe to say the franchise is in good hands.
There are a ton of fake fan-made trailers out there right now, all of which will make you think Arnold is returning for this movie. But, as of right now, that's not been confirmed...or denied.
Predator: Badlands hits theaters on November 7.
10. Mickey 17
Though the release date has been pushed back several, several times, this trippy new sci-fi film is finally coming out. Starring Robert Pattison as the titular disposable clone, Mickey 17 looks like it will blend a high-concept premise with a good dose of humor.
The writer and director is Bong Joon-ho, the man who gave us Snowpiercer, so expect some dark social commentary, too. Either way, this looks like a blast.
Mickey 17 hits theaters on March 7.
9. Captain America: Braven New World
A subtle reset button for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, is, in a sense, the first proper Avengers-ish movie we've gotten since Ant-Man: Quantumania and The Marvels. But this time, Marvel is, seemingly, going back to basics.
With Harrison Ford stepping into the role of Thaddeus Ross (previously played by William Hurt), the trailers have already revealed that he'll be transforming into the Red Hulk. Incumbent Captain America Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) looks the coolest he's looked in perhaps, any MCU production yet. Finally, it seems, they've got his suit looking perfect. Will you need to remember what happened in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier from 2021? It's possible that rewatching that Disney+ series might be a good idea, but we're not too worried about it. The future of the MCU will likely start right here.
Captain America: Brave New World will hit theaters on February 14.
8. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
Unbelievably, impossibly, the next Tom Cruise-led Mission: Impossible might actually be the last. Following the events of Dead Reckoning (2023), the IMF team has been pitted against a killer AI that can anticipate their every move.
But really, if you're watching this next Mission: Impossible for the plot, that might not be the best idea. We all know the true appeal of each of these films is to see what bonkers stunt Cruise attempts next. Here's hoping the last Mission is the most over-the-top.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning hits theaters on May 23.
7. Jurassic World: Rebirth
The Jurassic franchise isn't extinct, at least not yet. After Colin Trevorrow's quasi-trilogy concluded, no one quite knew what would happen with our favorite cloned dinosaurs. Enter Gareth Edwards, director of Godzilla (2014) and Rogue One (2016) for yet another reboot, set after the events of Jurassic World Dominion. Will Dinosaurs survive to run amok another day?
Because Jurassic World: Rebirth is ditching nostalgia in favor of exciting storytelling, it seems that this sequel/reboot may be the next great Jurassic movie we've been waiting for all along. Plus, with Scarlett Johansson in the lead, those velociraptors may have finally met their match.
Jurassic World: Rebirth hits theaters on July 2.
6. F1
Based on real events in the world of Formula One racing, this docudrama stars Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and several real-life F1 drivers and teams playing themselves.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the action in this one looks incredible, and there's already buzz about the gutsy real-life stunt driving done to make this movie as realistic as possible. Kosinski's last big movie was Top Gun: Maverick. This is his follow-up. This is going to be huge.
F1 hits theaters on June 27, 2025.
5. Fantastic Four: First Steps
Although there have been three major Fantastic Four films in this century alone, the new film, First Steps will represent the first time the famous super-quartet will enter the continuity of the primary Marvel Cinematic Universe. No trailer has been released yet, but retro-styled art revealed that the film will take place in an alternate 1960s.
Fantastic Four: First Steps stars Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic (he's bendy), Vannesa Kirby as Sue Storm (she's invisible), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (he's fire), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the Thing ( it's clobberin' time!).
The film will also star Natasha Lyonne, John Malkovich, and Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer. This one is going to be huge.
Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters on July 25.
4. From the World of John Wick: Ballerina
We may never get John Wick 5, but there's a good bet that the new Ana de Armas spinoff, Ballerina, will be the next best thing. Ever since her turn in No Time To Die, and then again in The Gray Man, we've all been waiting for de Armas to get her own action flick. Now, it's finally happening, and the trailers look fantastic.
Predictably, de Armas has already said a few hilarious things about making the movie, including one big action sequence in which she wields a flamethrower.
"I think I burn 106 people. I only cry with the first man," she said in an interview.
"The other 105, I was fine."
With an appearance from Keanu Reeves as John Wick, it seems possible that Ballerina could continue the franchise forward without its most famous character.
Here's hoping.
Ballerina hits theaters on June 6.
3. 28 Years Later
The modern zombie classic, 28 Days Later, directed by Danny Boyle made Cillian Murphy a bonafide star in 2002. Now, 23 years later, a sequel, 28 Years Later, will return to the zombie world in a big way. 28 Years Later will again reteam Boyle with writer Alex Garland, with Cillian Murphy as an executive producer.
Starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes, we're all also wondering if Murphy himself will return. So far, the rumor that Murphy was back as a zombie has been debunked.
So, for now, we'll just have to wait and see.
28 Years Later will hit theaters on June 25.
2. Thunderbolts*
Marvel's collection of rogue underdogs, Thunderbolts*, combines characters from various aspects of the MCU. This features the return of Yelena (Florence Pugh) and the Red Guardian (David Harbour) previously seen in Black Widow (2021), though Yelena also appeared in Hawkeye. Meanwhile, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) is back, as well as the other Captain America, John Walker (Wyatt Russell), both reprising their roles from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Olga Kurylenko is also back as Taskmaster after having also appeared in Black Widow.
This more down-to-earth side of the MCU probably won't feature a ton of superpowers beyond some slightly absurd physical strength. But, we are promised a lot of explosions. And, luckily, it looks like Thunderbolts* will be as heavy on the humor as it is on the action. Did we mention Julia Louis-Dreyfus is back? Based on the trailers and early buzz, Thunderbolts* might be the most fun Marvel movie since the original Guardians of the Galaxy.
Thunderbolts* hits theaters on May 2.
1. Superman
This is the big one. Directed by James Gunn, the new direction for DC's cinematic universe starts with Superman. Not exactly an origin story, this new take on Supe looks both classic and innovative at the same time. We're going to get Superman's dog, Krypto, but also a slew of other DC superheroes, too, including Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi).
Superman will star David Corenswet i n the title role, alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The first trailers have been universally praised and look incredible. After years of a moody, gritty Superman, and darker superhero movies in general, it seems that this take on the Man of Steel will be upbeat, bright, and hopeful. We can't imagine you'll want to see this for the first time streaming, so if there's one movie that you have to see in the theater, it's this one.
Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025.
AH: Don't know how much time I'll be spending at the theatre this year.
