136. From Tents to Trauma: How Fentanyl Fuels Wichita’s Homeless Spiral - Homeless in America
From tents to trauma, the story of Wichita’s streets reveals how fentanyl fuels a deeper crisis, turning a fragile homeless spiral into a cycle of survival and despair. At first glance, rows of tents may look like a temporary refuge, but behind the canvas walls lie stories of trauma, relapse, and loss. The fentanyl epidemic has quietly invaded these encampments, gripping lives and accelerating Wichita’s homeless crisis. What was once a matter of shelter and poverty is now entangled with the deadliest drug on the streets.
Fentanyl’s silent presence reshapes the city’s social fabric. First responders describe daily encounters with overdoses, often in the same areas where shelters are already overwhelmed. Families who once searched for affordable housing now fear losing loved ones to addiction. It is not just Wichita’s problem—it mirrors the broader reality of homeless in America, where substance abuse and lack of resources collide. Each tent tells a story not only about poverty but also about the power of fentanyl to strip away hope.
As this homeless spiral continues, trauma spreads like a shadow. Nonprofits and outreach workers speak of burnout as they attempt to revive individuals who overdose multiple times in a week. The cost is not only counted in lives lost but also in communities strained by compassion fatigue. Still, amid this storm, small sparks of resilience emerge: recovery programs, volunteer networks, and city initiatives working to break the cycle. Yet, the scale of Wichita’s homeless crisis makes clear that this is part of a national emergency—proof that homeless in America cannot be separated from the fentanyl epidemic. Without bold action, the tents will multiply, the trauma will deepen, and the spiral will continue to define what it means to be homeless in America today.

I examine Ukraine’s reported first combat use of the FP-7 tactical ballistic missile amid a major overnight drone and missile campaign against targets across Russia. With a reported range of up to 300 kilometers and a payload of up to 200 kilograms, the FP-7 could put Russia’s dense near-border logistics network, ammunition sites, airfields, and glide-bomb infrastructure at greater risk—if Ukraine can sustain serial production and employ it effectively.
I also break down reported strikes on the Samara oil-pumping and petrochemical complex, the Lukoil Volgograd refinery, and facilities in Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnodar, and elsewhere. On the defensive side, I assess Russia’s 108-drone attack on Ukraine, F-16 cannon intercepts, and Ukraine’s efforts to scale interceptor drones. Finally, I look at September’s battlefield figures: Russia reportedly seized 175 square kilometers but lost 256, while suffering 46,230 reported casualties.

286. Frozen Night in Kensington: Where Warmth is a Luxury for the Homeless - Homeless in America
Kensington, Philadelphia, has become one of the most painful symbols of the homeless in America. Tents on sidewalks, people sleeping in doorways, and lives torn apart by addiction show how severe the homeless crisis has become.
In this documentary, we follow people living on the edge of survival in the middle of a growing fentanyl crisis. Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, has spread through Kensington like a fire, fueling overdoses, violence, and fear. Every corner carries a story: a lost job, a medical bill, a broken family, and a system that failed to catch people before they hit the streets.
Through raw, honest voices from Kensington’s broken streets, this film shows what homelessness really looks like in America today – not as statistics, but as human beings fighting cold nights, hunger, trauma, and stigma. It asks a simple but urgent question: how many more lives have to disappear before we truly confront the homeless crisis and fentanyl crisis in America?
If this documentary opened your eyes to what is happening in Kensington and beyond, please consider liking, sharing, and leaving a comment. Every view and every share helps these stories be seen and heard.

Iran reportedly damaged eight U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagles and an A-10 during a ballistic missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan — and hours later mysterious explosions were reported across Iran's southern coastline near Sirik, Minab and Qeshm Island along the Strait of Hormuz. Former F-15E Strike Eagle and Thunderbird pilot Max Afterburner breaks down what may have been targeted, how the U.S. military kill chain works, and why radar, command-and-control and maritime infrastructure matter as much as the weapons themselves.

Raymond Ibrahim joins the Winston Marshall Show to explore the untold history of the Knights Hospitaller, the Ottoman expansion, Barbary piracy, and the lasting memory of the Crusades in both Western and Islamic consciousness. Drawing on deep historical research, Raymond Ibrahim breaks down the fall of Acre, the siege of Rhodes, the slave raids of North Africa, and the debate around Islam’s so called Golden Age. The discussion examines how narratives around jihad, colonialism, and European history have shaped modern attitudes toward Islam in Britain, Europe, and the Middle East. This episode offers a detailed analysis of crusader history, Ottoman conquests, Islamic expansion, and the cultural legacy still influencing politics and identity today.

I break down President Trump’s UN General Assembly remarks and his public meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky in New York. Trump said Congress had provided him with new tariff authorities associated with Senator Lindsey Graham, but framed their use as conditional. When asked whether Ukraine could regain all occupied territory, he declined to define a settlement, saying only that the sides would make a deal.
I also examine the strategic tension in Trump’s response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries and fuel infrastructure: he acknowledged a serious hit on Russia while warning about higher diesel prices. Zelensky pressed the urgency of ending the war before winter, while his discussions with Emmanuel Macron included additional SAMP/T systems, interceptor production, and the Freya missile-defense project. Finally, I assess Trump’s evasive response to Zelensky’s proposed Miami G20 meeting with Putin and the tentative discussion of Patriot missile production in Ukraine.

In this video, we will analyze Ukraine’s operation targeting the Kerch Bridge.
Here, Ukraine just unveiled its new underwater drone, built to destroy the Kerch bridge. This caused absolute panic among the Russians, knowing that now their bridge is becoming increasingly vulnerable to a Ukrainian strike.
Recently, a Ukrainian company revealed its latest heavy underwater drone, the Sea Trident. It seems that it was specifically designed to destroy strategic targets, like the Kerch bridge. The drone has a one-thousand-kilogram payload, which could damage the support elements below the waterline that hold the bridge. Russia’s defenses are built mainly to stop air and surface threats, while this drone attacks from under the water, which Russia is less capable of defending. With a three thousand and two hundred kilometer range, Ukraine can launch it from anywhere on its coast, and a maximum operating depth of sixty meters complicates detection. This makes the Sea Trident the underwater element for a combined strike against the Kerch bridge.
Standard Ukrainian drones would be used mainly to overwhelm Russia's air defenses, while missiles can strike the bridge from above in coordination with new underwater drones striking the pillars from below. Additionally, drones with enhanced warheads or thermobaric charges, such as the Behemoth, can be deployed, as they have already proved their effectiveness in disabling the bridges in northern Crimea. However, to maximize the chance of structural damage to the much bigger Kerch Bridge, Ukraine would combine these drones with long-range Neptune and Flamingo missiles with much heavier warheads of up to one ton of explosives, as they can provide a more impactful aerial strike layer. These missiles threaten support infrastructure, and the bridge spans from above, while naval drones suppress the defenses and underwater drones strike the bridge supports. All operations can be protected by naval drones equipped with FPV-launch and air defense capabilities, which can attack patrol aircraft and boats, forming a Kerch Bridge kill chain where each layer is designed to overwhelm a different Russian element of defense.
The recent Ukrainian strikes around the bridge are part of a systematic campaign to make the Kerch bridge less protected. So far, Ukraine has avoided a premature direct strike on the bridge itself and focused on targeting its surrounding defense infrastructure as preparation for the final blow that Russia knows is coming.
In the past few weeks, Ukraine has targeted the exact systems Russia needs to detect drones, missiles, and maritime threats before they reach the bridge. Notably, Ukraine’s drones hit a radar system in Feodosia, responsible for the tracking of targets at low altitudes, which leaves Russia with less warning time against Ukrainian drones. The most recent Ukrainian strike disabled four S-four-hundred radars, which weakens Russian early-warning capabilities against Ukrainian cruise and ballistic missiles, while the two destroyed Pantsir systems around the bridge weaken its short-range protection, exposing it even more.
An electronic warfare system interfering with Starlink was also destroyed in Kerch, as it was interrupting the communication of Ukrainian drone operators with their drones. These operations are opening corridors for drones, forcing Russian systems to relocate, and making the bridge harder to defend during a combined strike. Simultaneously, Ukraine cleared the way for its maritime drones by striking two long-range anti-submarine aircraft on the ground, which were designed to hunt underwater vessels like the Sea Trident. With this strike, Ukraine is blinding the systems that could stop the underwater strike, increasing the chances of the Sea Trident reaching the Kerch bridge.
As a result of this series of strikes, the Russians sound the alarm that a massive, combined strike on the bridge is inevitable. Because of the success of recent Ukrainian strikes, many Russians have nearly already accepted that the Kerch bridge will be struck eventually, as proved by the anxiety of their military analysts. Combined with the repeated bridge closures due to nearby attacks, Russia isn’t guessing anymore, but tries to prepare for a nightmare that is now only a matter of time.
Overall, the newly developed Ukrainian underwater drone changes Russia’s defense posture by forcing it to expect simultaneous threats from the air, the surface, and underwater, creating a real defensive nightmare. Now, each destroyed Russian defensive asset reduces Russia’s ability to defend against the final strike, which the Russians know is coming. Losing the Kerch bridge would be devastating for Russia as it is a logistical artery, a geopolitical trophy, which the Ukrainian bridge-killer drones now...

Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign came directly to Moscow on the final day of Russia’s parliamentary elections, with the Moscow oil refinery hit amid a massive wave of Ukrainian drones and missiles. Greg breaks down what the strike pattern reveals about Ukraine’s growing ability to saturate heavily defended Russian airspace, why he believes Moscow’s unusually limited public response matters, and what the attacks could mean for Russia’s fuel and military logistics.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski says Ukraine has destroyed an estimated 30% to 40% of Russia’s refining capacity—even without the ability to operate its air force over Russian territory. Greg examines that assessment, Ukraine’s expanding long-range strike capabilities, Russia’s election-day response, and the growing economic pressure created by repeated attacks on Russian refineries.
Also covered: President Zelenskyy’s call with President Trump and their planned meeting in New York, Axios reporting that Trump again pressed Zelenskyy over strikes on Russian oil refineries, warnings of possible major Russian attacks on Ukraine, and Ukrainian efforts to prevent panic as Russia continues targeting fuel and logistics infrastructure.
