From Calls to Command: The Journey to Leadership
Leadership is always tough, but especially in emergency medical services (EMS). The challenges that we face are unique and a journey that begins on our first day on the job. First, we operate so autonomously that we simultaneously don’t need leadership yet often complain that we never hear from it. Second, once promoted to a leadership role, we often find ourselves doing tasks that we did not go to school for or never learned how to do.

9 Ways To Raise A Girl Who Grows Up Bold, Confident And Unstoppable
Every girl has the potential to grow up bold, confident, and completely sure of who she is. The real question is whether the people around her reinforce that belief or gradually wear it down without noticing it. Raising a confident, grounded daughter doesn't require perfection; what you model, encourage, and allow on a daily basis is what makes all the difference.

Supporting College Students Also Helps Our Youngest Learners
By Elizabeth Kelleher, Ed. D., Initiatives Officer, The Early Childhood Innovation Center This is a large need that requires childcare directors to engage in strategic outreach and diligence to ensure they have the educators they must employ in their centers. The stress to fill positions in early childhood education (ECE) and other sectors is leading many influencers right now to reject the idea that a traditional associate’s degree or bachelor’s degree is helpful or necessary for employment.

The Folly of Honesty
Press enter or click to view image in full size For the first decade that I stepped into adulthood, I was sure that my honesty was my armor. I was confident that words based on shared knowledge or of actual events are not just my business to communicate, but it was my duty. It seemed especially crucial in situations where I was not seeing eye-to-eye with another person or where the level of someone else’s delusions became too much for my bull crap meter to handle.
To That Front Office Clerk Who Always Has a Bad Attitude
Business owners, school leaders, and medical offices, please check in on your front office staff. The members of the front office hold the vital role of creating a first impression and sometimes shaping the overall perception of your business or organization. If a member of your front desk team is having a bad day or is dealing with personal issues, it's wise to do a quick pulse check. See how their attitude toward the world is at the start of each day.
We Can’t Get Along Because I’m Always In My Feelings
Recently, I overheard two family members discussing how they consider themselves detached from their emotions, almost with pride. They seemed to view emotional awareness as an undesirable trait, pitying those who functioned otherwise. Their attitude made me realize a central tension in my family: I am emotionally forward and expressive, while most of my relatives tend to be emotionally unaware or repressed.
Our Voices: Schools Opening, DOE Wavering
By James B. Ewers Jr., Ed. D. I was honored to have been a public-school teacher. It gave me a front row seat and glimpse into the future. That was a long time ago. Back then, my teacher friends and I were always excited about the beginning of a new school year. Students were excited to see us, and we were thrilled to see them. There were smiles all around. The smiles all around part began when I was a young boy.
The Highest Priority of an Educational Environment: School Safety and Security

There is No Debate with the Almighty — His Word is Eternal, Everlasting — Never to be Put Assunder by Man - Dr. Rich Swier
“Israel’s land is Covenant land. Dividing it has consistently led to instability.” — Genesis 15:18; Joel 3:2. THE HOLY LAND IS UNDER DIVINE ETERNAL CONTRACT WITH THE ALMIGHTY AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO PERPETUITY. LET NO MAN PUT IT ASUNDER. “What G-d has joined together, let no man put asunder” in a Jewish wedding ceremony is a powerful statement about the sanctity, permanence, and Divine nature of the marriage contract ….
Zionists Must Join in Denouncing Years of Prosecution against Israeli Hero Bibi Netanyahu
Many decades ago, when Bibi and I were much younger, he spoke at a Zionist home in Indianapolis, and I was an eyewitness to the proud history of Israel and its devoted leadership for decades. It was impossible to miss the fervent love of Israel in Bibi’s passionate authentic speech and in his eyes filled with zeal. He is the real thing – a Zionist to his core, every fiber of his being wringing with loyalty to his Land, his People, and The Almighty who never slumbers in His watching over the Jews.
Making a Ceasefire with a Regime that ticks away your demise 24/7 is a 'Covenant with Death'
Iran’s doomsday clock for Israel In 2015, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei predicted that after 25 years — by 2040 — there will no longer be a State of Israel, and this clock counts off the minutes until the goal is reached: 🚨🇮🇷 IRAN: COUNTDOWN TO ISRAEL’S DESTRUCTION STILL TICKING Iranian media posted a video showing the digital clock in Tehran’s Palestine Square is still active, despite Israeli claims it was bombed.
If You Ever Had Any Doubts About Stopping Irain's Deadly Impacts Against Jews Watch This!
EXCERPT: Amid our reliance on Allah, and out of faith in our people’s right to wage an armed struggle to take back its stolen homeland… the assault groups set out on Friday night, Dec. 31, 1964, and fully carried out the actions that were required of them inside the occupied land [i.e., intended bombing of Israel’s National Water Carrier, Fatah’s first terror attack].
You Can Save Lives Now and "The Entire World"
“Whoever saves a single life is considered to have saved an entire World.” — Talmud (Sanhedrin 37a) “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you ….” — Ezekiel 36:26 For the past 33 hours our volunteers have been digging through rubble in Bat Yam after a direct hit by an Iranian missile. So far, our teams have recovered six bodies: a 60‑year‑old woman, a 70‑year‑old man, a 10‑year‑old boy, an 8‑year‑old girl, a 55‑year‑old woman, and an 18‑year‑old teen.
How America Normalized and Legalized Anti-Semitism Leading to Lethal Jew-Hatred
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you….” — Ezekiel 36:26 Since 2008, our Holocaust Survivor family has suffered decades of antisemitic crimes against us — all unpunished — thereby normalized and legalized by non-enforcement of laws to protect Jews. In court, we were mocked by a Florida-licensed attorney for defending ourselves against antisemitic crimes, which self-defense was called “religious-based nonsense” that was twice “Affirmed” by the Appellate Court.
COLORADO: Jews Set on Fire by Muslim Illegal Alien Moments Ago In Boulder — Pray on Shavuous! - Dr. Rich Swier
The incident comes roughly 10 days after a 31-year-old man was arrested for shooting and killing two Israeli diplomats outside an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. On Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, a man identified as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, attacked a crowd at a memorial for Israeli hostages by throwing incendiary devices while shouting “Free Palestine.” He used a makeshift flamethrower, injuring six people aged 67 to 88, some seriously.
"Peace" Plan? 10 Live Israelis = 1236 Hamas Prisoners + a Full Withdrawl from Gaza and a 7-Year Ceasefire on a Piece of Paper!
“You cannot build peace and security on lies. If you do so, sooner or later, these lies will crash on the Middle Eastern realities. You cannot do that.” — Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel. They crash all these theories that are promoted over the years, that are contrary to reality. They don’t stand over time. They fall like pieces of an iceberg into the ocean, and very soon nothing is left. So, you need a solid foundation, and the only solid foundation is the truth.
Harvard's Very Long, Very Dark Legacy of Jew-Hatred and Distain — Part II - Dr. Rich Swier
HARVARD’S JEWISH QUOTA: Applicants [to Harvard] from New York City were classified according to whether their family name and photograph indicated they were Jews; they were classified as “J1” (definitely Jewish), “J2” (probably Jewish), or “J3” (possibly Jewish). Thus Jews could be singled out for rejection without anybody having to say the reason was that they were Jews. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who served on the Harvard board in the 1920s, later boasted of his role in this episode.
How Did America Reach Level 5 Anti-Semitism?
While two slain Israeli Embassy members lay in a bloodbath on the streets of this nation’s capital, how can we account for this lethal level of antisemitism in 2025? How did America reach this extreme stage of antisemitism? Going back to 2019, one and only member of Congress was willing to vociferously and officially protest antisemitism spewing from the walls of America’s highest legislative body. He posted his condemnation on the Internet and then followed up with House Resolution 241 in March.
Legalizing Anti-Semitism in America
In his revealing article “How Antisemitism Infects the Law” published by the ABA, Law Professor Robert Katz dares to document antisemitism in the legal profession and governmental agencies as “a highly infectious intellectual disease.” Not only is antisemitism in the legal system “highly infectious,” it is epidemic if not pandemic. In far too many American courts, Jews are denigrated by lawyers before acquiescing judges or even castigated with antisemitic accusations by judges themselves.
'From the River to the Sea' Jewish Genocide Must Never Be!
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you ….” — Ezekiel 36:26 As the daughter and granddaughter of Jewish slaves in the Holocaust and Jewish peasants in pre-WWI Europe, I understand slavery and poverty from the inside. I understand governmental injustice from extreme personal experiences across time.

THE MAD MIND OF A MADMAN — ANTISEMITISM ON FULL DISPLAY - Dr. Rich Swier
While Jewish parents and their children were fast asleep after their Passover Seder feast, a diehard antisemite easily breached their home, firebombed it, and sought to assassinate the Governor of Pennsylvania in a heinous display of Jew-hatred unleashed and undeterred by the elite 24/7 state police force stationed inside and outside of the red-brick home.
Liberation Day verses Judicial Insurrectionists
INSURRECTIONIST JUDICIAL-ASSISTED NATIONAL SUICIDE What sane society welcomes into its arms those who openly proclaim their intense intent to annihilate your nation – “Death to America”? There is only one answer to this rhetorical question. What sane society permits violence against itself in the name of democracy and freedom of speech? Either the United States is insane or it must make a definitive choice against such “freedom of speech” and its inevitable death by dumbness.

HAMAS IS HAMAN IS AMALEK IS IRAN: "You Shall Not Forget!"
As the Jews just celebrated the festive holiday of “Purim,” meaning “lots,” we reflect upon the seeming “lots” or “lottos” in life; but Jews do not believe that life is a “lotto,” that we are or are not lucky. Rather, we are or are not making freewill choices within Divine parameters or against Divine boundaries that bless us or curse us.
Kindergarten: A New Journey Begins
Starting kindergarten is an exciting and emotional milestone, marking the beginning of your child’s educational journey. At Queen Creek Unified School District (QCUSD), we recognize that this transition is significant for both students and families. It’s a time of discovery, growth, and learning—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. Many new parents ask what they can expect for their children heading into kindergarten. It's much more than just letters and numbers.
JEWS NEWS: "The World is in another Haman Moment."

The power of play in the workplace
By DR. BRIAN WILLIAMSON, Ed. D. Early in my career, I had the unique opportunity to work at Praxair, Inc., which occupied a small portion of the two million square foot former Union Carbide Corporate Center, now known as The Summit at Danbury, in Danbury, Connecticut.

Bible Verses About Thankfulness To Fill Your Heart With Gratitude

How is Love a Behavior?
Aries Sanders, Ed. D · Follow 4 min read · -- Photo by Nathan Dumlao on Unsplash A vast number of individuals can articulate how love makes them feel. It’s a universal experience that transcends cultural, social, and personal boundaries. However, only some possess the vocabulary to differentiate one experience of love from another.
