A new report shows that numerous American cities are sinking. CBS climate reporter Tracy Wholf joins Megan Lynch with the details.

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, cities across the country are adopting the LGBT pride flag as their official flags. Wokeness is not as dead as we might like to believe. Also, the attorney general says that the FBI is still going through Epstein material. What is taking so long? And the media mourns as an entire family of illegal immigrants face deportation. They committed no crime, except the crime of coming here illegally, which is more than enough reason to deport them. And Times Square has a new statue. It's a 12-foot-tall overweight black woman. Why does this statue exist? We'll try to figure that out today. Click here to join the member-exclusive portion of my show: https://bit.ly/4bEQDy6 Ep.1592 - - - DailyWire+: Join us at https://dailywire.com/subscribe and become a part of the rebellion against the ridiculous.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Aran Shetterly. Classified as a White Man, Mr. Shetterly studied at Harvard, is a “journalist and narrative historian,” and a non-fiction writer. He's lived in Costa Rica, Cuba and Mexico, and his black wife Margot Lee may own the title as best writer in the family. She authored the bestseller, Hidden Colors: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race. The local history of Alabama White Supremacy in book and film format. Mr. Shetterly does his best as the 2nd best writer in his house with his 2024 offering, Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre & The Struggle for an American City's Soul. Gus found this book in response to the passing of Rev. Nelson Johnson, who transitioned earlier this year. Mr. Johnson was nearly killed - and, ultimately, blamed, for the November 3rd, 1979 Greensboro massacre. White Terrorists coordinated with local police, the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms, journalists, and probably other Whites to kill 5 people. No Whites were ever criminally charged for the slaughter. Johnson - who was severely injured during the melee, was blamed for the fracas for decades. #ReplaceWhiteSupremacyWithLove #GreensboroMassacre #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Guests: Alexis Madrigal, co-host of Forum, KQED; author, “The Pacific Circuit: A Globalized Account of the Battle for the Soul of an American City” ; Also a contributing writer at The Atlantic, where he co-founded the COVID Tracking Project

This episode of the Amazing Cities and Towns Podcast sponsored by Bearing Advisors, Jim Hunt interviews Jenney Egertson, the author of Selma's Mayor.   ·       A candid conversation about the history of Selma, Alabama and its place in the civil rights movement. ·       And, much more   7 Steps to an Amazing City:   Attitude Motivation Attention to Detail Zing Inclusiveness Neighborhood Empowerment Green Awareness   Thanks for listening and look forward to having you join us for the next episode.   Links Mentions During Show:  https://www.jenneyegertson.com/about  ·       www.AmazingCities.org ·       www.AmazingCities.org/podcast to be a guest on the podcast   About Jenney Egertson   Jenney Egertson began her career as a storyteller in the classroom, teaching English at a St. Louis alternative high school. Her way with words led her to success as a freelance writer and, eventually, as a corporate executive. Wherever she went, her work was driven by her love for meaningful connection. In 2000, after a memorable encounter with an 80-year-old woman, Jenney was inspired to help elevate the advice, stories, and hearts of the wise women around her. Over the course of eighteen years, she interviewed, came to love, and wrote about six women—collecting precious voices that became the chorus of her first book, Before I Leave. While visiting Selma, Alabama, the hometown of one of her subjects, Jenney met former mayor George Evans . . . who had a story to tell of his own. Their fast friendship charted a path toward Jenney's second book, Selma's Mayor. A mix of memoir and nonfiction writing, Jenney seamlessly weaves Evans' historic leadership with its modern-day impacts. Although Evans passed before the project was completed, his story is told with the heart and attention to detail that only comes through true friendship and admiration. When she's not writing, Jenney enjoys traveling far and wide with her partner, caring for her beloved greyhound and adorable chihuahua, and fishing—either alone at a city lake or with anyone who can show her a new spot!

INTRODUCTION: On the morning of November 3, 1979, in a quiet neighborhood of Greensboro, North Carolina, a crowd gathered for a march—activists, mill workers, and local citizens standing together against the Ku Klux Klan. The press was there, cameras rolling, ready to document a demonstration for justice. But what unfolded in just 88 seconds was something no one could have imagined. Shots rang out. Five people lay dead. The killers—members of the Klan and American Nazis—walked away without consequence. And just like that, an act of political terror carried out in broad daylight became a footnote in American history. No justice. No reckoning. No headlines in history books.   As part of our Black Heritage Month, author and historian Aran Shetterly is here today to change that. His new book, available on Apple Books, Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City's Soul, is a gripping, meticulously researched account of the Greensboro Massacre—one of the most brazen acts of racial and political violence in modern America, and one that eerily mirrors the polarization, extremism, and law enforcement failures we continue to see today.   Why was this atrocity buried in the past? What does it reveal about justice—then and now? And what lessons can we learn as we approach the 45th anniversary of this chilling event? Aran Shetterly spent years uncovering the truths that many wanted to stay hidden. He spoke with activists, police officers, informants, and eyewitnesses—some who still refuse to acknowledge what happened that day. Today, he joins us to share what he found and why Morningside is more than just history—it's a warning.   This is The Not Old Better Show, and I'm Paul Vogelzang. Stay with us. My thanks to historian Aran Shetterly and his new book, Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City's Soul. My thanks to Sam & Miranda Heninger for keeping us going. My thanks to you, our wonderful audience here on radio and podcast.  Be well, be safe, and Let's Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. Thanks and we'll see you next time.

In this episode, we welcome Aran Shetterly to discuss his powerful new book, Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City's Soul. Shetterly unearths the long-overlooked history of the Greensboro Massacre, a brutal attack in which members of the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis murdered five labor and civil rights activists … Continue reading BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Aran Shetterly on The Greensboro Massacre, MORNINGSIDE & Jonathan Eig, KING, A LIFE →

Earn Your Leisure has partnered with the Government of Ghana to establish a Black American City, a visionary initiative that I fully support. I believe this is a historic opportunity, offering the descendants of slaves an alternative beyond America. the Bible says in the lost book of Jasher and in many other books:“Gather yourselves together and return unto your land, for the Lord shall be with you.” Jasher 56:9Both Ghana and Benin have also announced that African Americans can apply for dual citizenship and be accepted immediately. It is my intention to obtain dual citizenship this year for myself and my entire family, with the long-term goal of relocating from America to Africa in the years ahead.#Ghana#rightofreturn#blackamerica#africa If you would like to support this ministry send your "Tithes, Donations, and/or Offerings" to https://cash.app/$LeoDunson and/or Cash App $LeoDunsonMinistries or at: https://leodunson.com/donateWatch My Banned YouTube Videos at: https://leodunsonministries.comAlso Check out my latest Books releases: Gods' Laws Commandments & Statutes (Amazon): https://a.co/d/8qP06jcThe Blessings of Gods' Laws; Affirmations (Amazon): https://a.co/d/1M5jJ46
