In this episode of the Mike Force Podcast, I break down the killing of 20-year-old National Guard soldier Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, who died on Thanksgiving after being ambushed in our nation’s capital. While the country moved on, an Afghan national brought into the United States through the post-Kabul evacuation is charged with her murder. Almost no one is talking about who he was, how he got here, or what warnings were ignored.I get into what we know about the suspect’s background, the failures in the vetting process under Operation Allies Welcome, and the difference between trusting someone on the battlefield and clearing them to live inside our borders. This is not about attacking our Afghan partners. It is about facing the reality that a rushed and incomplete system allowed people to enter the country even when clear red flags existed.Then we zoom out to Venezuela. From its role in global narcotics to its massive oil reserves and the geopolitical moves happening behind the curtain, we look at how resource interests, failed states, and political narratives influence what the media focuses on and what gets buried.This episode is about accountability. It is about demanding clarity from our government, honesty in national security decisions, and real conversations about why incidents like this disappear from the public eye while American service members pay the price.Support Carnivault - The best freeze dried meat for prep or dinner.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
