The Righteous Gemstones is a big broad comedy about excess, except for the first episode of season 4, which takes place nearly 200 years before the main series. With the American Civil as the backdrop, this story is gritty and dirty, a complete departure from the bulk of the series. Pee-wee as Himself is a disarming documentary playing with what is true and what is Hollywood gamesmanship. Featuring an uncompromising interview with Paul Reubens as he wrestles with where Pee-Wee starts and Reubens ends. A common thread between these two projects is pristine sound work that leads the charge. The Emmy nominated Supervising sound editors/re-recording mixers for both Righteous Gemstones (Nicholas Renbeck) and Pee-wee as Himself (Daniel Timmons) join Tonebenders for a fascinating talk, as they compare and contrast working on these two very different projects.

It's a standoff between the left and right. On the left, sitting US President JOE BIDEN is facing serious allegations of influence peddling and pay for play, as more details and allegations emerge on his son HUNTER BIDEN'S business affairs. On the right, former President DONALD TRUMP faces multiple charges of wrong-doing, and conspiring to defraud the US following the results of the 202 election. Who's right, who's wrong? That may be less important, oddly enough, than the question on the rule of law. Yes, the biggest test here is the future of American democracy. What matters is the US still stands as a beacon of hope and as a strong democracy for the world to admire, just as despots and crazed leaders outside America roam the world. Listen to our commentary on this episode. Plus, workforce trends expert, IRA WOLFE, has some robust insights on how to preserve serendipity on the job as remote work raises the stake. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-aidan-byrne0/support

In the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, there stood a statue near a city park of Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard, who himself was a native of St. Bernard Parish and grew up in New Orleans. The statue was placed there in 1915. Beauregard was an early proponent of equal rights in Louisiana, serving as the outspoken leader of the short-lived and ultimately failed unification movement. The movement was a coalition made up of prominent white and black New Orleanians that called for integrated schools, public places and transportation and voting rights for black men, two years before Congress passed the Civil Rights Acts of 1875 and nearly a century before the enactment of major civil rights legislation in the 20th century. Beauregard was the group's chairman. For the city of New Orleans, Beauregard died as a local hero. But on May 17, 2017, Beauregard's statue was removed. Why? Because P.G.T. Beauregard (as he's more commonly known) was a general of the Confederacy during the American Civil war. As a matter of fact, Beauregard commanded the attack at Fort Sumter, the shots of which marked the outbreak of the American Civil War. He fought in the First Manassas and at Shiloh, and he defended Charleston from Union occupation for two years. For many, Beauregard's statue represented nothing more than slavery and institutional racism. In the United States, the public display of Confederate monuments, memorials and symbols has been and continues to be controversial. There were 73 Confederate monuments removed or renamed in 2021, and there are now close to 700 left in the U.S. Some say the statues glorify people who perpetuated slavery, attempted secession from United States, and lost the Civil War and the statues are nothing more than a painful reminder of past and present institutionalized racism in the United States. Others say that the statues represent the country's history, no matter how complicated. Taking them down is to censor, whitewash, and potentially forget that history. So how do we make sense of the controversy? How do we as Christians engage in this controversial conversation with respect, civility, wisdom, and Christ-like love?

Pauline's Passion and Punishment by Louisa May Alcott audiobook. Before she wrote Little Women and Little Men, Louisa, writing under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard, had this `blood and thunder' thriller (as she called them) published in 1863 by a weekly pulp magazine. This was during the period when Louisa worked a nurse during the American Civil war. The rigid and unfair roles of men and women of this period, their expectations and desires, plays a large in this story of betrayed love, anger, petulance, and ultimately, vengeance. The story is well written and plotted of course, being an Alcott story, so listeners can expect to enjoy a captivating and satisfying story read to them by one of the best and most highly polished readers around Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on TSQ, Matt talks about a very powerful force in American life:  The American Civil Religion.  This is not a new concept, but it is one that isn't discussed as much as it used to be.  A  civil religion is a phenomenon whereby the nominally secular state takes on things normally associated with organized religion, such as dogmas, holy sites or shrines, sermons, incantations and prayers.  It's creepy as all get out, and should offend us all, whether we are religious or not.Robert Bellah's Articlehttp://www.robertbellah.com/articles_5.htmTragedy of US Foreign Policy Bookhttps://www.fpri.org/books/tragedy-us-foreign-policy-americas-civil-religion-betrayed-national-interest/#:~:text=the%20National%20Interest-,The%20Tragedy%20of%20U.S.%20Foreign%20Policy%3A%20How%20America's,Religion%20Betrayed%20the%20National%20Interest&text=Pulitzer%20Prize%E2%80%93winning%20historian%20Walter,foreign%20policy%20ever%20since%201776 This is a public episode.

In this episode of The Optimistic American, Paul Johnson sits down with Former NATO commander General Wesley Clark to discuss what we can do as Americans to have better conversations with one another.   They break down what the Civility Leadership Institute is all about, the role of the US in keeping world peace, and how strengthening public accountability makes democracy work. Paul and Wesley start the conversation by breaking down the three main parts of a democracy - Leaders, Laws, and Institutions. According to Wesley, strong democracies are built on the culture of a people and what they believe to be right and just. Although the internet and social media have greatly boosted access to information, Americans are still struggling with effective communication online. Wesley believes everybody has the right to an opinion, and you, as an individual, have a responsibility to respect that opinion. Why do we need civil leadership education? Paul and Wesley agree that the main reason is that we are a country of diverse people with diverse opinions. Wesley goes through the similarities and differences between the Bosnian war, the American Civil war, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Wesley explains why the US still engages in other people's conflicts, even with all the issues plaguing the country right now. For Wesley, America's role in ending international conflict stems from the fact that we are a country that believes in the international order of law and a peaceful settlement of disputes. Paul reveals what impressed him the most during Wesley's presidential campaigns. The two main concerns about Putin's invasion of Ukraine are whether he'll use Nuclear weapons and how far he is willing to go after capturing Ukraine. Wesley and Paul discuss what Americans should expect from Putin and China's Xi Jinping - two world leaders openly against the American World Order. With everything happening in Ethiopia, Taiwan, and Ukraine, the world is looking at the US to show its strength and commitment to democracy. Paul believes the US cannot make democracy work around the world if we cannot make it work back home.     Mentioned in This Episode: Wesley Clark's LinkedIn RenewAmericaTogether.org Addictive Ideologies: Finding Meaning and Agency When Politics Fail You

After the American Civil war, the Wild West was born. Around 1870 a group of "spiritualists", the bender Family, settled into their homestead near Cherryvale Kansas. They opened their own inn and general store. The people that stayed at the inn didn't know it, but it was likely where they would spend their dying moments. Let's chat about America's first serial killing family, The Bloody Benders.

Most existing literature regarding civil-military relations in the United States references either the Cold War or post-Cold War era, leaving a significant gap in understanding as our political landscape rapidly changes. Reconsidering American Civil-Military Relations: The Military, Society, Politics, and Modern War (Oxford UP, 2020) builds upon our current perception of civil-military relations, filling in this gap and providing contemporary understanding of these concepts. The authors examine modern factors such as increasing partisanship and political division, evolving technology, new dynamics of armed conflict, and the breakdown of conventional democratic and civil-military norms, focusing on the multifaceted ways they affect civil-military relations and American society as a whole. Lionel Beehner, Risa Brooks, and Daniel Maurer, serving as both editors of the volume and authors themselves, recruited contributing authors who come from a diversity of backgrounds, many of whom have served in the military, or in the foreign service, have worked as policy makers, and many who have held academic appointments in security studies, war studies, and at the military academies as well as at civilian institutions. Reconsidering American Civil-Military Relations helps to define and examine the roles and responsibilities of the military, civilian leadership, and the public, centering the sections of the book around these definitions, then delving deeper into the intricacies of their relations within the chapters in each section of the book. The first section of the book analyzes the military's roles and responsibilities, focusing on limits of the military's political activity as well as long-standing conventions and norms of professionalism that are part of the old Cold War structures. The second section explores the civilian side of the civil-military equation, particularly the role of the soldier, both as a member of society and a member of the military. This section also explores the marginalization of civilian voices in military policy making and factors that may contribute to that marginalization. The third section focuses on the relationship between society and the military, exploring societal attitudes toward the military and identifying how trends in partisanship and polarization are challenging civil-military relations. The fourth and final section of this volume examines the fragility and erratically fluid nature of our current historical moment, and how challenges in civil-military relations can arise from the changing realities of war, armed conflict, and domestic political dynamics.

20th maineJoshy chamby chamesghosts of nywritings of chamberlainsee page 896quivering moustachesmore sourcesI'm not a school child, MLA format can suck a fat one anotha onegoogle the gettysburg addressHey everybody, welcome back to another Thursday episode of nightmare now! Where we laugh about lurid lore and learn about lost languishing laments in layman's terms and lay on the levity talking about loss, life, love and in today's show, liberty. I thought it might be fitting to do our first foray into ghost and war stories on the week of memorial day. And what better american veteran to cover than the man, the myth, the legend, MC dolla bill ya boi george washington himself. Memorial day was first celebrated as a holiday in 1868, known then as decoration day to honor union soldiers in the civil war. Now as far as George Washington and the civil war goes you've got a couple of takes on it. The joke take is that sure, Washington was there in the flesh. The broke take is that Washington wasn't there at all, after all my man died in december of 1799 and the civil war wasn't for another sixty years or so. From April of 1861 to May of 65. The Woke take is that Washington's ideals and legacy inspired people on both sides to fight for the America that they believed he founded. But then we get up to the straight bespoke take that George Washington's ghost literally showed up at gettysburg in july of 1863 with a f**king lightsaber to turn the tide of battle like he's obi wan kenobi. This episode of Nightmare Now brought to you by disney plus. Glad to have you all here and I'm very excited and pleased to announce, thanks to you yes you with the headphones, that we hit 500 overall downloads, that's a fun milestone and I'm super pumped about it and the future, watching that number grow, but more importantly what that number represents, and that's you the listener deciding to listen to this greasy little show when there's millions of others out there competing for your time. It truly means a lot to me so thank you all so much!Now back to our regular scheduled programming about jedi george washington. Some of you history nerds may have heard this story before, I know I have, but I never actually looked too far into it until this week. And especially all the non americans listening might not have heard this either but lets just jump right into it. As far as the civil war goes we're zooming in on major part of it, the battle of gettysburg, but we're gonna keep zooming in further to one of the more famous parts of that most famous battle. Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th maine infantry holding the strategic little round top. Gettysburg and even this particular skirmish within the three or four day battle of gettysburg are kind of outside the scope of this episode. I defineitely want to do a deep dive on the civil war, and probably gettysburg specifically, but the short version is like 6000 people died and like thirty thousand f**king people were injured, and most of them probably died later because medicine in the civil war was bascially just amputation and hoping for the best. Lotta blood lotta screaming, bullets blew apart in you and you died of infection most of the time. Not really a good time for anyone I reckon. Gettysburg ended up being one of the turning points, if not THE turning point of the American Civil war. The defense of the little round top, was part of the reason that the union won gettysburg because like the obi wan kenobi analogy from before, it was the high ground. Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine fought off two waves of a larger force of confederate troops to defend the hill but eventually ran very low on ammo. With another wave incoming chamberlain and his famously quivering mustache yelled to fix bayooonnnneeettteeesss! And led his boys to charge down the hill in a last ditch defensive offensive bluff. Nobody is gonna fault the confederates for scattering after this lunatic gambit, because seeing your buddies shot is one thing, but seeing them skewered on a bayonet by a whole company of charging berserk soldiers is another thing entirely. This scattering and screaming and battle of quivering mustaches is a quintessential moment in american history. So how does george washington, I wanted to be dramatic and add his middle name there but apparently middle names weren't' really a thing until the 1830s. Kind of a neat little tidbit there. Anyway how does george washington fit into all this?While the story is mostly legend, it's actually referenced in primary sources about the battle from members of the 20th Maine themselves and even Joshua Chamberlain himself. Big fan of this dude, being a Maine boy myself I gotta rep the home team. Sorry to all my war of northern aggression listeners. So picture the scene, the 20th Maine infantry division, at it's maximum comprised of a little over 1600 people, I don't  know how many of them were actually at gettysburg, because a number of them had died or otherwise been taken out of battle by a faulty smallpox v a c c i n e, (not trying to have this episode pulled for disinformation) that'll have to be another episode. So they're walking in towards Gettysburg. They don't have tanks or cars or anything obviously but they come to a fork in the road. They're map is  totally out of date and they have no idea which way to go, one road leads to where they need to go and the other will send them down a wild goose chase away from the battle in the coming days. Not to mention it is at this point nearing the dead of night and even if their map was correct it would be hard to read and hard to navigate. According to witnesses an imposing man on horseback, dressed in revolutionary costume and a tricorn hat emerged conveniently and unexpectedly from behind a tree and pointed them in the right direction, saying that they were going to be needed in the ensuing fight. The men didn't really have anything else to go on and the man had a familiar look to him that they trusted. He seemed like he couldn't lie. Something something cherry tree. A few days later the 20th Maine was in their most famous battle and ammunition was running horrifically short. If you saw jeff bridges in gettysburg or listened to the last five minutes of the show you know what happened next, the famous bayonet charge. But what the movie and textbooks generally leave out is that the mysterious figure that guided them down the right, fateful road made yet another appearance at this pivotal moment. So chamberlain weighs their options, if they stand and fight without ammo they're f**king toast, if they retreat, the confederates take the round tops and gain a huge tactical advantage over the entire hill, I'm sure there's people that wrote alternate history novels about this exact scenario, if they took the round tops it could have changed the whole outcome of gettysburg and the civil war as a whole, suddenly we've got two different united states and confedearte states in modern day.  Luckily we don't have anything like a two party system that doesn't get anything done today, and we have a working government for the people by the people! Just as chamberlain was giving the order to Fix bayonets, man that's fun to do, my mustache isn't nearly long enough to do it justice right now but I'll work on that, just as he was yelling to fix bayonets, the figure appeared, this time it was clear. It was george F Washington. Since my man didn't have a middle name his middle name in the nightmare now continuity timeline is f**king. George f**king Washington himself was there at the battle of little round top right behind Joshua Chamberlain and yelled FIX BAYONETS, CHARGE! And then George Washington unsheathes his curved saber from its scabbard and as he pulls it out the thing lights on fire. (Lightsaber noise) This renews the union soldiers resolve and they all charge with him. He's up on his horse wearing his full revolutionary war gear and supposedly runs down and breaks up the confederate line in front of the rest of the 20th maine. Allegedly the confedereate troops below focused fire on him and his white horse but to no effect, so he was bulletproof as well. His sword is on fire, and at this point it's obvious to those around that it is truly George Washington, not some revolutionary war cosplayer like they thought when they first saw him at the split in the road.Georgie boy charges forward with the rest of the 20th Maine into the confederate line who I believe is composed of the 15th Alabama infantry. They aren't ready for the madcap bayonet charge, ghost of the first president or not and it helps turn the overall tide of the battle. After the initial carnage George Washington isn't seen again. At least not at Gettysburg, there's like a million other stories about george washington's ghost at his home and in other important american places. But this was the coolest and the most fitting for memorial day though. We have to ask ourselves though, is it real? I mean let's handwave whether ghosts are real and for the sake of argument say that they are. I would agree with that but I think ghosts are a complicated kind of phenomena that I'll put some more thoughtful discussion towards in another episode. But even treating the world as if ghosts are 100% real, what is the veracity of this claim? Is this historical fanfiction? The neat part is that if it is just presidential fanfiction, it started right away. First hand reports told this story, it's in the primary sources! There was an investigation! After the civil war, Lincoln's secretary of war Edwin Stanton opened an investigation into the event. Hopefully like the whole little round top and not just burning up post war tax dollars on a ghost hunt but whatever. In said investigation a few of the soldiers that were there testified that they had indeed seen him that day. Joshua Chamberlain himself when interviewed said quote “We know not what mystical power may be possessed by those who are now bivouacking with the dead.  I only know the effect, but I dare not explain or deny the cause. I do believe that we were enveloped by the power of the other world that day and who shall say that Washington was not among the number of those who aided the country that he founded?” unquote it's pretty f**king cool right?  Kinda weird that George Washington was from Virginia and repped the union but it also made sense that he would want to be on the side to attempt to keep his country together. I don't know. In the end it's a really cool ghost story that has a lot of primary sources backing it up, it's thematic, it's patriotic and I love it. Special thanks this episode to everyone that sacrificed for this country. As Lincoln said “We have come to dedicate a portion of that podcast, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.”Thanks to all of em and thanks to everyone listening, as always, I'd say sweet dreams, but we all know it's only gonna be nightmares now

As believers in Yeshua (Jesus), do we have a biblical obligation to fight for American constitutional freedoms? How far, if it all, do we personally have to go to preserve and protect those civil liberties? In this episode, Kevin shares his own personal journey through the Bible in search of patriotic answers.

Lee's surrender to Grant encouraged other Confederate forces across the south to do the same and marked the beginning of the end of the American Civil ...

The American Civil war was one of the bloodiest and horrific events in American history (for a great cause, though). Izzy and Cam talk about the ways that comes up time and again in pop culture; from Glory to Cold Mountain to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, it has cemented its place in movies and TV. Not to mention all the strategy video games that you can play. You always pick the north, right? RIGHT?!The episode ends peacefully with a game of "Civil War Movie or Lifetime Movie." It's harder than you think. Doubly so for Cam and Israel. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pcfmpodcast)
