House Halts Iran Ops, Screw Worm Threat, and School Choice Momentum

In this week’s episode of The Lion Week in Review, Josh Mann is joined by Adam Wittenberg to discuss the top stories shaping the week. The House narrowly passed a resolution (215-208) directing an end to U.S. military involvement in Iran, while gas prices remain a concern and peace talks continue. A serious agricultural threat emerges as the screw worm parasite — capable of devastating livestock — has been detected, prompting USDA action including sterile fly releases. Trump names Todd Blanche as the next Attorney General. Adam breaks down growing resistance to teachers’ unions in red states, the benefits of school choice (including insights from a Texas counselor), and new federal education waivers giving states more flexibility. They also highlight Kansas City’s excitement as a World Cup host city and the unique Bosnian community in St. Louis ahead of Bosnia’s matches. The episode closes with a Faith and Freedom 250 reflection on faith during America’s founding. A timely roundup of national security, agriculture, education, and culture. 00:00:49 – Iran Resolution and House Vote00:01:49 – Screw Worm Parasite Threat00:03:27 – Todd Blanche as AG00:04:52 – Teachers Unions Losing Ground00:06:27 – School Choice Insights00:09:58 – Education Waivers to States00:17:30 – World Cup in Kansas City00:20:59 – Bosnian Community in St. Louis00:25:30 – Faith and Freedom 250Follow Heartlander News on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.  You can also sign-up for our newsletter and follow our coverage at HeartlanderNews.com.To learn more about the Herzog Foundation, visit HerzogFoundation.com.
