## Resource

JB White returns for the Wednesday edition with another beautiful musical tribute to Dolly Parton, then dives straight into the geopolitical deep end. He unpacks the G20 fallout after Russia's surprise invite, why China dissenting on the closing communique matters, and how he reads the ongoing economic sparring between Washington, Beijing and Moscow. Expect strong opinions on discernment among content creators, a preview of a lengthy piece he is planning to read on air about invisible enemies embedded in the military and media, and some personal reflections on his own political journey from Democrat to Republican. He also teases an upcoming Badlands Media event in Las Vegas and touches on a few sponsor reads along the way. It is candid, opinionated and unmistakably JB, equal parts current events breakdown and stream of consciousness.
