Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing what may be the most consequential political moment of Donald Trump's career. With Trump's approval ratings slipping, the Iran conflict escalating, renewed questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk continuing to reverberate through the conservative movement, many Americans are asking whether these events are isolated, or part of a much larger story.In this episode, I examine the connections I believe may exist between these developments, including my view that the Epstein files may have been used as leverage against powerful political figures and that foreign interests have exerted significant influence over American policy in the Middle East.We'll discuss:Trump's declining support among his baseThe growing controversy surrounding U.S. involvement with IranThe unanswered questions surrounding the Epstein filesThe political impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination and its aftermathWhy I believe these stories intersect in ways the mainstream media refuses to exploreMy goal is not to tell you what to think, but to encourage you to question narratives, follow incentives, and examine who benefits from the decisions being made in Washington.--https://www.bible.com/

On episode 131 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers field a listener question about whether it's worth voting when the ballot offers no candidate who actually represents her. It’s an especially potent question in light of redistricting, the recent Supreme Court gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and the chaos of states redrawing maps in the middle of an election cycle. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: GOP Rep. Jen Kiggans laughed and said "yes, yes to that" while a radio host told Hakeem Jeffries to "get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia." Kiggans later claimed she didn't hear the "cotton-picking" line. Jeffries is calling for her resignation. All six conservative Supreme Court justices attended Trump's state dinner honoring King Charles the night before the Louisiana voting rights decision dropped — a ruling that further guts the Voting Rights Act of 1965. A new study found that people who regularly engage with arts and culture — reading, listening to music, visiting museums — may biologically age slower. The effect may even equal regular exercise. A suit has been filed against OpenAI over ChatGPT's alleged role in the Florida State University shooting that killed two people.

On episode 130 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by guest Elie Mystal. Elie Mystal is an author, commentator, and the justice correspondent for The Nation. His fiery prose on the Supreme Court and legal issues writ large are unmatched, and in a seismic week for voting rights America, it’s a good time to welcome Elie home. The Supreme Court has fast-tracked their recent ruling which gutted what remained of the Voting Rights Act. They are allowing Southern states to change their electoral maps BEFORE the midterm elections, which will almost certainly dilute Black voting power. Our SCOTUS expert, Elie Mystal, weighs in. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: 1. Primary Results in Ohio and Indiana test President Trump’s influence on Republican Primaries. 2. The Detroit News caught a Michigan Senate candidate calling for intimidation at Detroit polling precincts. 3. Trump’s Medicaid cuts are becoming a reality in Nebraska, where they went into effect on May 1st. It will be the first test of how many people lose their insurance due to new work requirements. 4. Trump Praises the Confederate General, Robert E. Lee, and says that he almost won the Civil War. 5. South Carolina State University rescinded an invitation to SC’s Lt. Governor Pamela Evette to speak at graduation. In response, South Carolina Republican officials threatened to pull SCSU’s funding. 6. On Sunday, a federal judge reinstated New Orleans Court Clerk, Calvin Duncan. But then Louisiana won an appeal with the 5th US Circuit Court to keep Duncan out of office… for now. Calvin Duncan was democratically elected, winning 68% of the vote.

The Supreme Court just fast-tracked its latest ruling striking down a key part of the Voting Rights Act, opening the door for southern states to redraw their electoral maps BEFORE the midterm elections.

The last decade of Tiffany Cross’ life has seen heartbreak and betrayal, moving through failed relationships at the same time her country turned its back on her. In her new book, Love, Me, Tiffany writes about how she came home to herself. Tiffany’s book is a love letter to Black women in the struggle. She sees some of that struggle in the recent drama between basketball star Klay Thompson, and his (former) girlfriend, rapper Meg thee Stallion.

Host Bakari Sellers knew he was against the death penalty–until white supremacist Dylann Roof killed 9 people at the African Methodist Episocpal Church in Charleston, South Carolina during a bible study. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, Black Americans are 7.5 times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder than whites. The Equal Justice Initiative has shown that for every 8 people executed on death row, 1 is exonerated. At times, maybe death is justice, but the administration of that justice is problematic, particularly in a racist justice system. Our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari talk each other through complicated feelings around capital punishment.

On episode 129 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers are joined by the one-and-only TIFFANY CROSS!! Renowned journalist, author, and former-NLP host, Tiffany Cross, rejoins the crew for a day to talk about the ongoing redistricting war AND tell us about her new book Love, Me. The redistricting wars swung in the direction of Republicans at the Supreme Court this week. SCOTUS heard arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, and allowed Louisiana to redraw its electoral map, removing a majority Black district, and rewriting the Voting Rights Act. This bellwether case will probably inspire similar redistricting moves in other Southern states. Our hosts take a look at how this affects the midterms and Black representation in Congress. The last decade of Tiffany Cross’ life has seen heartbreak and betrayal, moving through failed relationships at the same time her country turned its back on her. Her new book, Love, ME is a letter to Black women in a toxic country, career, and relationship. Find it wherever books are sold. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS 1.

We miss the voices of Iran. In this episode, Jian opens with a poetic and powerful essay on the impact of the Iranian regime's internet blackouts - not only as a violation of human rights, but as a loss of connection, clarity, and direction for millions outside the country who have been inspired by those inside it. The conversation then turns to the role of alternative media at a critical moment. With mainstream coverage of Iran widely criticized as incomplete, biased, or misframed, what responsibility falls on independent platforms? Can alternative media remain objective - or is it inherently advocacy? And is there still an obligation to “both sides” the story? Jian is joined by: Nazenin Ansari (London) Kiarash Kian (Toronto) Andy “Aueen” Alem (New York) A sharp and timely discussion on media, narrative power, and the fight to represent the voices of the Iranian people.

During a Pentagon Prayer Breakfast last Wednesday, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, read a fake bible verse that’s actually from the Quentin Tarantino movie, Pulp Fiction. 2. GOP Congressman Troy Nehls says Trump is “almost the second-coming” of Christ. 3. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (GA) says America “needs to be healed” after supporting a sex-abuser, Trump, for so long. 4. The Louisiana state House advanced a bill that would force unhoused people to choose between jail or a treatment program (rehab). If they choose treatment, they have to pay for it, and if they can’t afford to pay, they’ll be forced to do unpaid labor for the state. 5. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has shelved the SAVE Act in favor of other legislation that has a better chance at passing. The bill would have disenfranchised 10s of millions of Americans of their right to vote. 6. Tucker Carlson apologizes for “misleading people” about Donald Trump. 7. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been indicted over their alleged use of paid informants to infiltrate white supremecist, and other extremist groups. 8.

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has called on the left to embrace MTG (Marjorie Taylor Greene), Candace Owens, and other MAGA who have disowned Trump. On its face, it might seem like a bad idea–MTG in particular has made racist remarks toward Omar on the House floor–but Rep Omar’s logic is hard to argue with. 34:50 Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Joshua Doss, for this segment from episode #127 that aired on 04-16-27.

After a politician has done something wrong, when do we say they are redeemed? When do we let them back in? Of course it’s different if it's a public figure like a politician vs. just a friend, but are there red lines where we never allow them back again? There’s been a spate of members of Congress credibly accused of fraud, sexual misconduct, and assault. Who is redeemable and why, and what must they do? We’ll get into specific examples with our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Joshua Doss from HIT Strategies.

Filmmaker Robert Cibis of OVALmedia discusses his evolution from an established documentarian to a dissident media figure during the global health crisis. He details how his investigative work into the WHO and private healthcare systems led him to challenge the official narrative on COVID-19, eventually resulting in significant censorship and a shift toward activist filmmaking. Cibis argues that recent global events represent a coup d’etat by financial elites aimed at centralizing power through debt and digital control. He explores the concept of technocracy, suggesting that while technology can be used for surveillance, it also remains a vital tool for emancipatory communication among independent thinkers. He reveals his struggles with subversion in alternative media and highlights the growing divide between government-led propaganda and a rising movement of skeptics seeking to build independent systems outside of state and corporate monopolies.

Baltimore County Police Officer Derek Hadel was called to do a wellness check on Samuel “Big Sam” Brown last month. The encounter ended with the officer knocking Brown into the pavement, causing severe brain damage, and eventually death. Officer Hadel is under investigation for police misconduct.

Host Angela Rye’s guest for today is DJ Quicksilva. Big Sam was Quicksilva’s tour manager and is running the Justice For Big Sam campaign.

Attention is also given to the cost of challenging consensus during COVID-19, especially for those unwilling to self-censor in the face of institutional pressure.At its core, this is an exploration of media literacy, the role of independent journalism, and what it takes to think clearly in a landscape shaped by competing narratives and hidden incentives.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[03:49] An art degree and Soviet propaganda prepared Patrick for everything[15:53] Why he went all-in on COVID truth when everyone else got silent[29:51] What Patrick saw in Iran the week before the bombs dropped[38:06] The playbook they ran inside Iran before the bombs fell[01:02:17] Everything Americans think about Iran's government is backwards[01:42:06] Soldiers described their orders in Gaza, and it's on paper[02:11:48] Is the US actually in control of its own foreign policy?[02:38:47] Why Iran won't break and what the energy war is really about[02:55:23] What war always costs the people who didn't start itResources mentioned:Monkeypox Mania Summit | Websilte The Highwire with Del Bigtree episode on STEEP TERRAIN | Website The Perimeter | DocumentFind more from Patrick:Patrick Henningsen | XSupport our independent media platform - Donate or Subscribe at 21st Century Wire.Find more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:PACHA Sourdough: The wheat-free, sprouted buckwheat bread that actually digests well.

President Trump has made headlines across the world for doubling down on threats to “send Iran back to the stone age” and bomb ALL of their infrastructure: railways, powerplants, bridges, etc. Destroying civilian infrastructure is a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions (which apparently doesn’t mean anything anymore). Even Conservatives like Tucker Carlson, Majorie Taylor Green, and nut-case-in-chief Alex Jones have expressed alarm at Trump’s threats. In today's episode, host Angela Rye takes us on a journey into the mirror world of conservative media, to see how they’re responding to Trump's war with Iran. Iran has promised to retaliate against attacks on its infrastructure by attacking the oil and water infrastructure of neighboring gulf countries, which would likely cause a global humanitarian and economic catastrophe.

A promoter in Seattle was caught RED-HANDED covering a Black Lives Matter mural of Rahwa Habte with concert posters. Local community member (and our guest for today), Omari Salisbury, confronted him in a video that’s since gone viral. Our host, Angela Rye, will talk to Omari about the confrontation, and why seeing Rahwa’s mural covered struck such a nerve, as part of the larger gentrification happening in his neighborhood. Check out the original video: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWcPlQcAXgl/ PLUS a state senate bill in Kentucky is threatening to end Kentucky State University as we know it, the state's only public HBCU.
