Fourteen hundred years prove it, Sharia does not knock, it takes.   Post Bob @Shariakill Everywhere Islam gain power, Civilization collapse   Reactionary, Neo-Confederate Portland 16 Comments / October 6, 2025 Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness In blue cities across America—Portland, Oregon, especially—often violent protesters now seek to surround ICE facilities to stop federal officers from fulfilling their assigned and legal duties of arresting illegal aliens. Some 10 million or more illegal aliens were allowed to enter the U.S. during the Biden years—illegally and thus without criminal or health checks. Neither Antifa nor liberal urban America objected to such a flagrant disregard for the law. But both are now as intent on obstructing the legal enforcement of the law as they were earlier in favor of its illegal non-enforcement. Much less did they care about the consequences of sending millions of foreign nationals into cities and counties where they swamped social services, spiked crime, and flooded emergency rooms and schools. ICE has repeatedly presented data that show in its first rounds of deportations, it is concentrating on removing either criminal illegal aliens or those who have already been processed with deportation orders, somewhere between 70 and 90 percent of all current apprehensions. No matter. Left-wing protesters are swarming ICE headquarters in Portland to violently oppose all deportations, even those of known criminals and those who have already exhausted efforts to remain here illegally. Why? The Democratic Party apparat knows that the public wants both secure borders and deportations of illegal aliens. Indeed, in part, it lost an election by its open-borders advocacy. But Democrat officials feel that if street thugs like Antifa can surround and besiege ICE facilities in Portland, Oregon, then deportations will stop. Then, a de facto amnesty will follow for millions who entered the U.S. illegally—and will soon become Democratic constituents. As a result, they do not fully enforce the law when thugs attack federal law enforcement. Antifa and its spin-off groups favor the night, when they try to block all entries and exits of ICE vehicles and personnel, and can commit their violence with greater anonymity. The masked rioters assault anyone in their way. They count on exemption from punishment for committing violence against federal officers through the goodwill or indifference of kindred local and state officials who hate the Trump administration more than they respect the law. An Orwellian scenario follows in which federal officers are attacked by Antifa, which in turn counts on the non-intervention of local police. Summed up: the city of Portland's armed officers are in a de facto proxy war with their federal counterparts—in our version of something out of 1860, on the eve of a real civil war. Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and Oregon Governor Tina Kotek feel their constituents want open borders and thus should have the right in their own city and state to do as they please—and federal law be damned. But by doing so, both the Democrat Party officialdom and the street armies of Antifa are on the proverbial wrong side of history. America for almost 200 years has already decided, in formal law and court rulings, that no local or state entity can disrupt the enforcement of federal laws or usurp Washington's powers. To do so with impunity would unravel the American nation in short order. We know that from our own violent history. Andrew Jackson, in 1832, like Trump, threatened to send troops to stop South Carolina's nullification of federal tariff laws. America fought a Civil War over Confederate states' efforts to ignore federal law and confiscate or occupy federal property within their state jurisdictions. As late as 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace thought he could nullify federal law by using his state guard to deny black students' enrollment in the University of Alabama—until the Kennedy administration federalized all state troopers and sent in additional federal troops. So what we are witnessing in Portland—and elsewhere—is a neo-Confederate attempt to supersede federal law and, in reactionary fashion, invoke states' and cities' rights. Oregon and Portland believe that they are more moral than the federal government and thus have a natural right to side with street mobs by both not enforcing their own laws against Antifa violence and ignoring the innate civil rights of ICE personnel. The latter are denied freedom of movement, association, and the ability to fulfill their job duties by what has turned out to be a near city-sanctioned siege of their facilities. The Democrats are fine with all this. They think the violence against ICE will be portrayed daily as general chaos by their allied media. Thus, the proverbial people who keep clear of the siege and its detritus will simply want all the bother to go away—and supposedly blame those enforcing, not breaking, the law. In sum, the Democratic Party is the official face of the left. Antifa provides the street shock troops, and the media serves as its propaganda arm. So, the left-wing logic is to allow the violence and siege to continue in a “safe space” for Antifa. A strapped ICE will supposedly eventually shut down operations and move on. And any violence that occurs can be chalked up to Trump's federal government “baiting” Portlanders. The reigning moralistic assumption is that ceding territory to terrorists, not enforcing local and state laws, and nullifying federal statutes are all small prices to pay for the larger projection of chaos and violence that can be blamed on Trump. Such thinking entails utter indifference to any Portlanders who live near the siege and are nightly subjected to constant disruptions, harassment, and occasional violence. Do these law-abiding residents have fewer civil rights than the lawbreaking armies of the night? In contrast, the use of federal troops to stop the siege of ICE facilities will remind the violent protesters of the left that their neo-Confederate tactics will not work, but instead subject them to arrest and federal indictments. Bringing in federal forces to uphold the law will also protect the rights of ICE personnel and neighborhood residents to live in peace and security and have their constitutional protections secured. Not all American citizens are Portlanders, but all Portland citizens are Americans. In other words, both Antifa and the appeasing Oregon officials are our new neo-Confederate secessionists. They feel that their states are now autonomous entities that are still entitled to federal money but not obligated to follow federal laws. Portland also reminds us of the recent utter incoherence of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. On the one hand, she pleads for federal dollars to restore her city's burned-out neighborhoods due to her own incompetence and neglect, while on the other hand actively obstructs the federal government from enforcing immigration laws in her own city. For a party that has been quick to shout “insurrection,” it is ironic that Democrats and their useful, though violent, Antifa insurrectionists are in rebellion against the federal government and its agents. It is hard to know which is worse—the Antifa thug who nightly tries to injure a federal officer, or the sanctimonious neo-Confederate official who empowers him to keep trying?

⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---American troops descend into a humid jungle, sniped at from the trees from an invisible enemy. Unable to discern insurgents from civilians, the army begins burning villages and destroying entire communities. After years of failures on the battlefield, and extreme criticism of the war at home and abroad, American troops withdraw battered and beaten, leaving piles of native corpses in their wake. Sound familiar? This is the Second Seminole War, one of the largest conflicts fought on American soil and the bloodiest war waged against Native Americans.This episode of Gladio Free Europe continues our discussion on the conquest and settlement of the Sunshine State, with a focus on the violent but ultimately unsuccessful subjugation of the Seminole Nation. Though little-discussed in modern times, this brutal and genocidal struggle made Florida what it is today. The violent removal of thousands of Seminoles from Florida to Oklahoma would open up the peninsula to white settlement and the expansion of plantation slavery. By the outbreak of the Civil War, Florida would be an essential piece of the Southern economy. The circumstances of Seminole defeat, including the betrayal of Chief Osceola, would be a black stain the reputation of American military, President Andrew Jackson, and the United States at large. And while most Seminoles were deported, Seminole resistance would continue for the next century. Some reseilient Seminoles, led by people such as Billy Bowlegs, would stand their ground in the South Florida swamps until the present day. In Oklahoma, Seminoles like the black warrior John Horse would continue their struggle against colonization and and empire. Parallel to conflicts with the Seminoles, Florida history would be shaped by many enterprising eccentrics who sought to tame this wild country as they saw fit. Liam, Russian Sam, and Jackson discuss the careers of figures like Jean Lafitte, the New Orleans pirate who had a brief thassalocracy across the Gulf of Mexico, and Zepheniah Kingsley, a bizarre and contradictory Quaker planter who proclaimed the evils of racism while holding dozens of black slaves in bondage, and apparently styled himself not as a white planter but instead as a polygamist African chief. Listen to this latest episode of Gladio Free Europe to understand just why Florida is America's strangest state.Please forgive the audio glitches in this episode! Ending track is "Seminole," recorded by the Esso Steel Band of Bermuda in 1959.

As I mentioned in the previous episode, we are going to be looking into the foundations of the NeuroHarmonic Method, which we are continuing to prepare for its upcoming release. Again, a lot of personal growth insights are going to be presented to you, practical and uplifting ideas that you may find to be deeply valuable. In that light, let me take you back to something I came across many years ago, a powerful framework that continues to guide me to this day. It's called the Four Quadrants of Knowledge. On the surface, it's simple and easy to grasp, but its importance runs deep, especially when you get to the last quadrant. And while we all intuitively know these categories, we often take them for granted. Quadrant One Quadrant One is what you know that you know. If you own a car, you know what make and color it is, what the keys look like, how to start it and so on. You know where you live, if you have kids, and thousands of things like this. These are all part of the first category: what you know that you know. Easy enough. Quadrant Two Quadrant Two is what you know that you don't know. If someone asked me to assist in a heart transplant surgery, I'd refuse because I know nothing about it and I know that I don't know. Same thing with rebuilding a carburetor and countless other skills. This category is huge for all of us, and we're all pretty clear about it. Of course, these two can be a little tricky because we have a tendency to trick ourselves, but that's a different story. Quadrant Three Quadrant Three is what we know, but don't realize that we know. This often shows up in the form of forgetting. You stumble across an old sweater in a drawer, one that used to be your favorite but you'd completely forgotten about. The knowledge was there, but buried. Sometimes this happens with skills we once practiced but let fall away, and so forth. Quadrant Four Quadrant Four is the most critical to understand, yet also the hardest to fully grasp. It is the realm of what we don't know that we don't know. This quadrant presents a major challenge, because it always remains in the domain of mystery — filled with both unseen opportunities and hidden dangers. We don't need to dive too deeply into Quadrant Four just yet, because the rest of this episode will make its significance abundantly clear. So let's begin. Every society, in its own time, has believed it was the most advanced ever. And in a way, that makes sense — we can look back and clearly see the history behind us, and we can measure how far we've come. But the future? That always remains in the unknown, and all we can do is speculate. And how big is Quadrant Four? How vast is the realm of what we don't know that we don't know? Well, the answer is obvious: we don't know. A Glimpse Back in Time So, with all this in mind, let's take a little trip back in time and see what appears to us. Imagine walking into the White House in the early 1830s. The floors are creaky and the rooms are still dimly lit with candles. It's far from the glittering palace that exists in our collective imagination. But, for its time, it was astonishingly modern. In fact, it boasted something most Americans of that era could hardly dream of. It had running water. And not only that – hot running water. That's right. The White House, in Andrew Jackson's presidency, became one of the very first buildings in the world to enjoy plumbing on such a scale. By 1833, a spring at Franklin Square fed water through iron pipes, supplying reservoirs in the mansion. There was even a bathing room fitted with a cold bath, a shower, and—this was the marvel—a hot bath, heated by great copper boilers stoked with coal. The Astonishing Contrast Now it's hard for us to grasp what a marvel this level of luxury truly was, but in the early 1830's it was nothing less than astonishing. At the time, most Americans drew their water by hand—from wells, outdoor pumps, or streams—and lugged it in heavy buckets to their kitchens or washrooms. Heating that water meant chopping wood, tending a fire, and waiting as iron kettles slowly came to a boil. Even in wealthy homes, servants trudged up and down stairs with sloshing pails, and a single bath could take hours to prepare. Against this backdrop of labor and inconvenience, the sight of water flowing instantly through pipes—already heated and ready for use—seemed almost magical. It was not just a convenience but a symbol of modern progress, decades ahead of what ordinary families would experience in their daily lives. The Hidden Tragedy But with this, something strangely tragic unfolded in the White House over the next thirty years. A black shroud of grief descended upon it, as three unlikely deaths darkened its halls. And those deaths came about for one simple reason: the people of the time didn't know what they didn't know. You see, the spring that fed the White House pipes stood just a few blocks away from what was called a “night-soil dump” — a polite 19th-century phrase for a sewage pit. That's right: a large amount of human waste was regularly dumped into a pool not far from the very spring that carried water into the White House. Before Germ Theory You may or may not realize that this time period was a good fifty years before the significant understanding of germ theory began to dawn on the world. In those days, people believed that bad odors — so-called “miasmas” — caused disease. The idea that invisible microbes in water could make someone sick wasn't even remotely conceived of. So yes, the development of a running water system was real progress — but wisdom had not yet caught up with it. They simply didn't know what they didn't know. And the result began to take its toll, with three famous examples that stand out in history. Case One: William Henry Harrison At his inauguration in March of 1841, William Henry Harrison delivered the longest inaugural address in U.S. history — nearly two hours long in the raw March wind. For generations, history books told us that he caught pneumonia that day and died a month later. But recent medical historians see it differently. They point to clear signs of enteric fever — a typhoid-like illness consistent with sewage-contaminated water. In other words, Harrison was likely undone not by the cold weather, but by the White House plumbing itself. Case Two: Zachary Taylor Fast forward to July of 1850. President Zachary Taylor had just attended Fourth of July celebrations, where he enjoyed a bowl of cherries and a glass of iced milk. Within days, he fell violently ill. Newspapers of the time reported “cholera morbus” — a catch-all term for gastroenteritis. Taylor died within the week. While it's impossible to prove with certainty, medical historians now believe his death also fits the pattern of a waterborne illness, consistent with the contaminated spring that supplied the White House. Case Three: Willie Lincoln Perhaps the most heartbreaking related event was the death of Willie Lincoln, the beloved 11-year-old son of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. In February 1862, while the Civil War raged, Willie fell ill with typhoid fever. He lingered for weeks, weakening day by day, while his parents tended to him engulfed in agony and fear. He died in the White House on February 20. Doctors and historians agree: the likeliest culprit was the contaminated water. Once again, the very pipes that delivered incredible modern convenience carried the seeds of immense tragedy. Abraham Lincoln, wrestling with the fate of a nation, now had to wrestle with the loss of his beloved child as unthinkable grief was delivered by a seemingly advanced invention. The Lesson of Quadrant Four So, what does all this mean for us? Well, this brings us back to knowledge — especially the fourth quadrant: what you don't know that you don't know. The White House water story of the 1830s makes it painfully clear that technology without wisdom isn't progress at all — it's peril. And tragically, this is just one of countless examples throughout history where what people didn't know cost them dearly. The Modern Parallel To take this to the next level, let's draw a parallel to our modern world today. And let's put a focus on our awareness, on the inner life of the human mind, which is truly a double-edged sword. Because while our mind has been the source of all the developments that have come into being to help elevate humanity, it has also been responsible for creating much of the misery that we suffer today. With all this in mind, here's a key question: might we also be drinking contaminated water? From an environmental perspective, of course, that's an urgent issue in its own right. But in this scenario, I'm not talking about what flows from our faucets. Contaminated Thought Water What I mean is the streams of thoughts and feelings that flow into our consciousness every single day. The rushing current of fear, anger, worry, resentment, self-doubt, and negativity — a polluted current we so often drink from without ever realizing its toxicity. Just as the 19th-century White House residents poured crystal-clear water into their cups, unaware of the microbes within, we pour “thought water” into ourselves every moment. It looks clear — it feels like simply “my mood,” or “just the way I am.” But this inner negativity carries powerful pathogens of a very different kind. The Physiological Cost Modern brain science reveals that every thought and feeling we experience sets off reactions within us. Neuropeptides and hormones are released, stirring inner uneasiness. The body absorbs them. The nervous system reacts. The immune system bends under the strain. And the brain itself rewires according to the repeated currents of negativity. Not a healthy scenario. And all the while, society around us treats these inner toxins as normal — and we accept them. Why? Because we don't know what we don't know. The New Germ Theory But modern neuroscience is beginning to catch up, just as medicine once did with germ theory. We now know that chronic negative thought patterns release cascades of stress hormones: cortisol, adrenaline. We know they rewire the amygdala toward hypervigilance, reshape the hippocampus toward fear-based memory, and even shorten telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA. We know that unrelieved emotional stress contributes to heart disease, metabolic disorders, weakened immunity, and depression. We know that rumination — the habit of chewing endlessly on worries — can be as corrosive to the brain as cholera was to the gut. But here's the rub: just like the White House in 1833, our society is rife with technology, but not yet with wisdom. We drink contaminated thought water every time we scroll through doom-laden headlines, replay grudges, or compare ourselves to seductive illusions curated online. We immerse ourselves in hot and cold running negativity, unaware of the pathogens at work. Toward Mental Hygiene So what if we proposed a new “germ theory” — not of the body, but of the mind? What if we said: thoughts are not just harmless, invisible puffs of energy. They are agents. They shape physiology. They carry consequences. The lesson of history is that once people understood germs, they learned sanitation, filtration, hygiene. And humanity's life expectancy soared. The lesson for us is the same: once we understand the pathogens of thought and feeling, we can develop practices of mental hygiene. Practices that enhance our awareness of Breath. Gratitude. Presence. Practices that filter the mind's water before we drink. And the positive upsides for us are enormous. NeuroHarmonics and the Authentic Self This is where NeuroHarmonics comes in. At its core, we speak of the Authentic Self — the indwelling presence that remains uncontaminated, untouched by the masks and playacting of daily life. And from this Authentic Self flows a constant, steady stream of truly pure water. The first goal of the method is simply to help us notice the difference — to tune our attention toward the infinite source, the wellspring of clean water, instead of the sewage-tainted supply that reckless habits and unconscious living keep delivering to us. Closing Reflection The poisoned water saga of the 1800s was a true tragedy. But today, we face a new kind of germ theory — one that speaks to the makeup of our inner awareness. And with it comes a profound realization: we have a choice about what we consume within. And the pure, clean water of the Authentic Self is always available — if only we choose to turn to it. This is great news, because on the deepest level, what we need isn't just clean running water. What we need is living water. Well, that's a lot of information, so let's bring this episode to a close. As always, keep  your eyes, mind and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.

We explore the often-overlooked importance of spiritual foundations in both personal life and national identity, emphasizing how our religious freedoms were hard-won by previous generations who faced persecution simply for reading the Bible. The home and family serve as the foundation for cultural transformation, with parents having the greatest opportunity to shape future generations through intentional spiritual guidance.• Our founding fathers recognized the Bible's importance, even passing acts of Congress to ensure Bible availability during the Revolutionary War• Marriage guidance from Colossians 3:18-21 provides timeless principles for healthy family relationships• Parents build national culture by making home a refuge rather than just a "pit stop" between activities• Vigilance and spiritual alertness are necessary as we don't know when Christ will return• Andrew Jackson warned that America's greatest threats come from within, not from foreign powers• Ideologies incompatible with liberty include socialism, communism, and "Christless conservatism"God bless you all, God bless your families and marriages, and God bless America and your nations wherever you are in the world.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

The story of the Bell Witch stands as America's most vicious haunting—a tale so disturbing it's hard to believe it happened at all. Long before ghost hunting apps and night vision cameras, this malevolent spirit terrorized a frontier family with shocking physical power and psychological cruelty.When respected farmer John Bell spotted a strange creature in his Tennessee cornfield in 1817, he couldn't have imagined it would lead to years of torment. What began as mysterious knocking quickly escalated into something unprecedented—an entity that could speak, recite scripture, and physically attack both family members and visitors. The Bells' teenage daughter Betsy endured the worst—being pinched, slapped, and having her hair pulled until she broke off her engagement, seemingly the entity's goal all along.What makes this case extraordinary isn't just the physical phenomena but the intelligence behind it. "Kate," as the entity called herself, displayed preferences and vendettas. She tormented John Bell relentlessly while showing kindness only to his wife Lucy. She quoted Bible passages that stumped ministers and revealed private secrets that sent visitors fleeing. Even future President Andrew Jackson allegedly encountered her power when his wagon wheels mysteriously locked on approach to the Bell property. After witnessing his men being tormented, Jackson reportedly declared he'd "rather fight the British than the Bell Witch."The haunting culminated with John Bell's death in 1820, when a mysterious black liquid appeared in the medicine cabinet—liquid that killed a cat instantly when tested. As mourners gathered for Bell's funeral, Kate's mocking laughter echoed through the cemetery, a final act of cruelty that cemented this case as uniquely malevolent. Whether demonic entity, vengeful spirit, or something else entirely, the Bell Witch remains paranormal history's most compelling mystery. Next time you hear knocking at night, remember—it could be more than just the wind.Thank you for listening to the Paranormal Peeps Podcast.

In the early 1800s, a Tennessee family claimed their farm was under siege by a relentless spirit. Known as the Bell Witch, this entity tormented the Bell family with eerie voices, violent attacks, and chilling predictions—so infamous that even President Andrew Jackson is said to have taken notice. In this episode of The Dark Record, I'm joined by special guest Meghan Cunningham as we revisit one of America's most famous hauntings. Was it folklore exaggerated over time, a case of mass hysteria, or something genuinely supernatural? Join us as we dive deep into the legend of the Bell Witch and explore why her story continues to haunt Tennessee to this day.

California is preparing to implement two laws, SB 253 and SB 261, which would require companies operating in the state to monitor and report their CO2 emissions, as well as those of their suppliers and customers. These rules, originally passed in 2023, are similar but broader in scope than the mandate that was imposed nationwide by the Securities and Exchange Commission during the Biden administration, but which was effectively canceled under the current Trump administration. “I think the goal of California right now is to get as many other states as it possibly can to go along with this,” Bonner Cohen, senior fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research, Source: dailysignal.com BREAKING: Appeals Court EXCORIATES Obama Judge Chutkan, Sides with Trump Administration, Axes Billions of Dollars in Biden-Era Climate Grants Earlier this year US District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, granted an injunction against the EPA and barred Lee Zeldin from clawing back the money that was being sheltered at Citibank for 8 different ‘green' nonprofits. Lee Zeldin previously clawed back the $20 billion in grants under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) and Citibank agreed to freezing the funds earmarked for the eight nonprofits. A federal appeals court on Tuesday delivered a huge blow to Obama-appointed Judge Tanya Chutkan and sided with the Trump Administration by axing billions of dollars in Biden-era climate grants.  , a three-judge panel sided with Trump's EPA in a 2-1 decision. The three-judge panel included: Majority: Rao (Trump), Katsas (Trump) and dissent: Pillard (Obama). Judge Rao wrote the majority opinion and absolutely excoriated Judge Chutkan. “We conclude the district court abused its discretion in issuing the injunction. The grantees are not likely to succeed on the merits because their claims are essentially contractual, and therefore jurisdiction lies exclusively in the Court of Federal Claims. And while the district court had jurisdiction over the grantees' constitutional claim, that claim is meritless. Moreover, the equities strongly favor the government, which on behalf of the public must ensure the proper oversight and management of this multi-billion-dollar fund. Accordingly, we vacate the injunction,” Judge Rao wrote for the majority opinion.

Het was me het Trump-dagje weer wel. De president dreigt de EU én China met heffingen, hij wil nog meer aandelen in Amerikaanse beursbedrijven opeisen en als klap op de vuurpijl ontslaat hij een bestuurder van de Fed.Haar naam is Lisa Cook. Ze wordt door het Amerikaanse ministerie van Justitie onderzocht, maar dat onderzoek wacht Trump niet af. Hij wil haar weg. Ongekend. Nog nooit, in meer dan een eeuw, ontsloeg een president een bestuurder bij de Fed.Deze aflevering onderzoeken we wat zo'n ontslag betekent voor de economie en de beurs (en dus voor jou). Mocht Trump haar namelijk wegkrijgen, dan heeft 'ie 4 van de 7 Fed-gouverneurs in zijn invloedsfeer. Iets dat het rentebesluit behoorlijk kan sturen. Dan hebben we het ook over een beursgang van Klarna. Die is meerdere keren uitgesteld, maar volgens persbureau Reuters gaat het volgende maand dan echt gebeuren. De vraag is wat Klarna waard is, want de potentiële beurswaarde holt elke dag achteruit... Verder hoor je meer over de politieke chaos in Frankrijk. Als je dacht dat het erg was in ons land, dan moet je vooral kijken naar de Fransen. Het heeft nu zelfs invloed op de beurs en dan met name op de financials. Die gingen hard onderuit.En het gaat over een bijna communistische actie. Niet alleen Intel, maar ook defensiebedrijven moeten er aan geloven. De Amerikaanse overheid wil een deel van hun bedrijf hebben!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's the matter with America? We've been told for years about the dumb working class MAGA voter. That they are exploited by Trump, that their interests are the reverse of a self-interested Republican cultural or economic elite. But according to the iconoclastic Tablet magazine contributor Michael Lind, we've got it the wrong way around. MAGA Voters are anything but stupid, he argues. That's why they don't care what dissenting podcasters like Tucker Carlson think. Instead, they're making rational choices based on their material interests, not blindly following con-celebs like Carlson, Laura Loomer or Curtis Yarvin. The real Trump coalition consists of two groups that pundits consistently misunderstand: reliable Republican voters who will support any GOP presidential nominee, and more crucially, swing voters in swing states. Rather than following the latest ideological dramas between right-wing influencers, these supposedly swing-voting “low-information voters” are making practical decisions about their lives. So actually, Lind implies, echoing other contrarian American populists like Thomas Frank, there's nothing the matter with a United States that somebody representing the class interests of ordinary Americans couldn't fix. 1. Right-Wing Influencers Have Zero Real Political Power Podcasters like Tucker Carlson, Laura Loomer, and Curtis Yarvin may dominate online political discourse, but they have "next to no influence on actual policy." When they turn against Trump, there are no electoral consequences because they don't command actual voter armies—just online audiences.2. MAGA Voters Are Making Rational Economic Calculations The "low-information" swing voters who decide elections aren't following ideological media rabbit holes. They're high school or some-college educated people making practical decisions about their material interests, not consuming political content or caring about intellectual debates among conservative influencers.3. America Is Experiencing a Class War Between Managers and Everyone Else The real divide isn't left vs. right but between a highly credentialed "managerial elite" who control large institutions and an unlikely coalition of working-class voters and outsider entrepreneurs (like Silicon Valley founders) who resent bureaucratic control.4. Trump Rebuilt FDR's Coalition for the Republican Party Through a complete partisan realignment, Trump assembled the same geographic and demographic base that supported Democrats from Andrew Jackson through LBJ—while today's Democratic Party represents the Northeastern establishment that Republicans used to champion.5. The Solution Requires Rebuilding Civil Society, Not Better Politicians America's crisis stems from over-centralization and the collapse of intermediate institutions like unions, local political parties, and churches. Real change requires "democratic pluralism"—giving ordinary people power between elections through rebuilt grassroots organizations, not just voting for better candidates every few years.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

The explosive interview reveals a financial system rigged against everyday Americans through deliberate manipulation and foreign control. Treasury Secretary Besant's call to audit the Federal Reserve exposes how banking elites have engineered a monetary prison that siphons wealth through debt and taxation. This isn't just economic policy—it's a calculated power grab that stretches back to Andrew Jackson's era, designed to strip Americans of their sovereignty while enriching a small cabal of global bankers. ____________ VERITY METALS Convert your 401k or IRA into physical gold to protect your retirement from a volatile stock market and inflation.

A quick note on secondary sources: Christian materials donot always treat Mormonism fairly or go the extra mile topresent Mormon ideas as a Mormon would recognize them.One book that does is Andrew Jackson's MormonismExplained: What Latter-day Saints Teach and Practice. I alsorecommend A Different Jesus? The Christ of the Latter-DaySaints by BYU professor Robert Millet. Richard Mouwconcedes too much in his Foreword and Afterword, but it isstill helpful to get Mormon Christology from a Mormonhimself.1. View of history. In Mormon thinking, the rise ofMormonism was not merely a reformation or renewal of thechurch. It was a complete restoration. Following the death ofChrist's apostles, the church fell into complete apostasy. Thechurch lost divine authority and true doctrine. There is nounbroken continuity from the early church to the present.Christianity, for almost all of its history, was false and withoutthe truth—until Joseph Smith and his revelation. Mormonismnot only rejects historic orthodox Christianity, the entirereligion is based on the need for such repudiation.2. View of revelation. Mormons believe the Bible (the KJVversion), but do not consider it inerrant. Neither do theyconsider the Bible complete. What makes Mormonismunique is their belief in continuing revelation sustainedthrough prophets, seers, and revelators. So while Mormonsaffirm the Bible, they also affirm the inspiration of the Bookof Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of GreatPrice. Through an elaborate hierarchy of President, FirstPresidency, Twelve Apostles, First Quorum of the Seventy,and Second Quorum of the Seventy, Mormons can receiveauthoritative interpretations and new authoritativerevelations.Kevin DeYoung is the senior pastor at Christ CovenantChurch (PCA) in Matthews, North Carolina and associateprofessor of systematic theology at Reformed TheologicalSeminary.For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Our hosts are handed 5 juicy “facts” about Andrew Jackson's wife, the Petticoat Affair, and the drama swirling around John Eaton's marriage… but not all of them are true.Did Rachel Jackson's past nearly derail her husband's political career? Was the White House really torn apart by a social snub? And how did one woman's wardrobe choices ignite a national controversy?It's a game of historical truth or tantalizing fiction, as our hosts try to untangle the rumors, rivalries, and reputations that shaped the early 1800s. Expect fiery debates, wild guesses, and a few scandalous surprises.Think you can spot the lie in the lace?

“I want a decent proportion of my returns to be from actively trading either through themes, individual instruments or...between EM and DM, between Europe and the US,“ says Andrew Jackson, head of Investments and leader of the Fixed Income Boutique for Vontobel. Jackson joined Bloomberg Intelligence's Noel Hebert and Damian Sassower on this episode of the Credit Crunch podcast to talk beta vs. alpha exposures, current risk pricing across credit, the emerging-market landscape and the value in active management.

Over five centuries ago, fabled conquistador Juan Ponce de Leon became the first European to place his espadrille on North American soil... yet it would take three more of those centuries the steamy, sunny peninsula he claimed would be host to any permanent European society. Florida was thus the first American state to be explored, yet the last to be settled. Colonial Florida presents a compelling question: what goes on here? The answer involves fisher-kings and filibusters, pirates and planters, Muscogees and Maroons, and many, many eccentric Florida Men. Liam and Russian Sam are joined once again by Jackson (@GraceCthdralPrk) for the first in a series on the Sunshine State — probably the most peripheral of the Lower 48, yet fundamental to American history, from the unsteady beginnings of colonialism to the ravages of Andrew Jackson and eventually the 20th-century triumph of air conditioning, swamp-draining and beachfront real estate. This episode of Gladio Free Europe examines Florida in its long early days as a permanent borderland, a place contested by shifting configurations of European authority who never had more than nominal control over its swampy ground. This unique situation allowed Native American states to have longstanding levels of autonomy, from the Calusa kingdoms of the 16th century to the multiethnic Creek and Seminole confederations of the 19th. Although Florida would experience major political and demographic changes from 1513 to 1821, it would remain the eternal frontier. From Ponce de Leon through Andrew Jackson, no conquistador could fully quash Native resistance, and all colonizers had to afford legal rights and human dignity to the large numbers of free people of color residing in Florida. Though Europeans quickly found there was no fountain of youth and no cities of gold, rumors of exotic riches and fruitful soil continued to inspire generations of swindlers and swashbucklers. Join Gladio Free Europe to see how all of these factors contribute to the myth-making of the Sunshine State, the most desired and most disreputable appendage to America.Ending music is Harden Stuckey's "The River St. Johns" as performed by Jake Xerxes Fussell. The diva in the episode art is the Key Marco Cat, a timeless icon of Calusa craftsmanship.

Chipotle Incompetence, and at this point, I should almost make a separate podcast dedicated to complaining about gyms. (Im SO sorry) The Bore Of 1812, and a comically angry, tiny, Italian would-be assassin, lost to history…until now. (It's a good one)

What historical forces have led to the rise of demagogues in the past and how to they compare to the increasing power of populism today? What are the benefits and drawbacks of empowering leaders from outside politics during these times?Eric A. Posner is a professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School and also the author of several books, including The Demagogue's Playbook: The Battle for American Democracy from the Founders to Trump, Radical Markets: Uprooting Capitalism and Democracy for a Just Society, and The Executive Unbound: After the Madisonian Republic.Greg and Eric discuss the definition of demagoguery and its historical context in American politics, particularly comparing presidents Donald Trump and Andrew Jackson. They explore the rise of populism, its implications for democracy, and the role of elites and institutions. Additionally, Eric explains his views on labor market power and antitrust law reforms, reflecting on recent American political dynamics and potential future reforms.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:How President Trump changed the presidential playbook40:43: Trump is really not that popular, but he does—but he is very popular among his base. So I think he has decided, unlike—I think most presidents want to have, like, a large majority, super majority of support. And I think Trump, at some point, realized that he would never get that. And so he wanted to maintain his base plus a few swing voters. And if that is your goal, if that is your plan, it may be fine to do things that upset a lot of people. Whereas when these norms developed—if that is what we are going to call them—they developed in a context in which there was less partisan division, less ideological strife, and it made sense for politicians to be basically more cooperative, even though they represented people with very different interests.Demagogues appeal to the emotion08:12: Demagogues appeal to emotion, but it would be wrong to say that any politician who appeals to emotions is a demagogue. There are community and “let us work together” and “let us protect people, vulnerable people,” versus this kind of hatred, which is characteristic of the demagogue, who wants to find somebody to blame for people's problems.What is the essence of populism?06:37: The virtuous people, meaning something—well, not never really clear—definitely farmers and maybe working people, versus an establishment consisting of politicians and bankers and capitalists. I think that division is the essence of populism.The threat of demagoguery33:08: Usually people are worried about demagoguery because they are worried, basically, that ordinary people will be persuaded by somebody who is evil, basically, or does not have their interest at heart.

This week's stitch-up comes courtesy of Dave, who's chosen Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms from 1998. A made-for-TV sequel to the 1992 cult hit Universal Soldier, this entry was produced by Trimark Pictures and aired as part of a two-part Canadian-American miniseries.Rather than bringing back Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren, the production recast the lead roles with Matt Battaglia and Andrew Jackson, respectively. Filmed back-to-back with Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business, the sequels were shot primarily in Toronto, Canada, with a lower budget and a tighter shooting schedule to accommodate television constraints. The movies were directed by Jeff Woolnough, a Canadian television director who would go on to build a solid reputation for his work on genre series like The Expanse and Vikings.The production was backed by Trimark Pictures and Saban Entertainment, with the intention of launching a possible syndicated series or franchise expansion outside the theatrical model. Despite ambitious plans, the sequels were met with criticism for their lack of continuity with the original film, absence of the original cast, and noticeable drop in production quality. Nevertheless, they found an audience among late-night cable viewers and curious fans of the original film, gaining a degree of cult status for their earnest—if underwhelming—attempt to extend the Universal Soldier mythos into the TV movie realm.If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, so become a supporter.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordVPN: https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id=15&aff_id=86289&url_id=902 NordPass: https://go.nordpass.io/aff_c?offer_id=488&aff_id=86289&url_id=9356 Trailer Guy Plot SummaryThey turned him into the ultimate weapon… but now, the mission is off the books, the budget is slashed, and the action? Downgraded. In a world where the original Universal Soldier is nowhere to be found, Matt Battaglia steps in as the new Luc Deveraux—locked and loaded for a sequel no one asked for, but someone definitely greenlit. Explosions! Conspiracies! And Canadian parking lots doubling for top-secret military bases! This time, it's not about winning the war… it's about stretching the franchise to its absolute limits. Universal Soldier II: Brothers in Arms — the only thing more unstoppable than the soldiers… is the confusion.Fun Facts1. Former NFL linebacker and actor Matt Battaglia stepped into the role of Luc Deveraux, originally played by Jean-Claude Van Damme in the 1992 film.2. Despite being set in the U.S., the movie was primarily filmed in Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, a popular cost-saving move for TV productions in the 1990s.3. This film was shot simultaneously with its follow-up, Universal Soldier III: Unfinished Business, to reduce production costs and maximize continuity.4. This TV sequel is not considered canon in the Universal Soldier film timeline, especially after the theatrical release of Universal Soldier: The Return in 1999.5. The existence of multiple sequels with different continuities has made the Universal Soldier timeline notoriously confusing for fans.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Hello: Autumn, 1949. Fortune editor Bill Furth, flinty-eyed gatekeeper, scans a manuscript from 30-year-old whiz kid Daniel Bell. Spots the word “charisma.” Snorts. Blue pencil meets page. Word dies swiftly, without much appeal. Fast forward ten years: charisma is everywhere. Eggheads bandy it, pundits quote it, preachers peddle it. Bell—vindicated. Since the 1950s, Americans have grown used to the word “charisma” being applied to everyone, often as a synonym for “charm”.. But what if charisma is more than charm or personal magnetism—what if it's a key to understanding the moral and spiritual crises of American life itself? That's the argument of Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History from the Puritans to Donald Trump, a sweeping new book by my guest historian Molly Worthen. In it, she traces the tangled story of charisma across four centuries of American history—from the Puritans through Andrew Jackson, to Malcolm X and Donald Trump.Charismatic leaders, Worthen argues, don't simply stir emotions or win votes. They offer something deeper: a sense of cosmic meaning, spiritual clarity, and moral urgency in moments when traditional institutions seem hollow or adrift. In times of upheaval, we look for figures who promise to reveal hidden truths and restore a broken order. Molly Worthen is a scholar of American religious and intellectual history. She is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and writes regularly on religion and politics for the New York Times and other national outlets. Spellbound is her third book; she has previously authored Apostles of Reason: The Crisis of Authority in American Evangelicalism and The Man on Whom Nothing Was Lost, a biography of the diplomat, Yale professor, and  Bridgeton, NJ native Charles Hill. (That last for my five listeners in South Jersey.)

We lead this week's show with a few short news announcements, including new menu items from McDonalds to excite John, and the debut of a new podcast competitor: Hadley Arkes and his merry band at the James Wilson Institute have launched "The 'Natural Law Moment' Podcast," surely goaded by our constant mangling of his central arguments. WE hope to have a crossover episode with Hadley at some early opportunity, if we can ever get our difficult schedules sorted out.This round-robin format episode features a vigorous discussion of whether Obama and the Deep Staters (sounds like a bad bar-band, no?) are vulnerable to criminal charges for their obviously bad faith behavior in creating the Russia Hoax back in 2016, whether Obama is immune from prosecution because of the ruling last year of Trump v. US, and whether these actions properly rise to the level of "treason" as is alleged by DNI Tulsi Gabbard. Our second segment reflects on a pair of articles Steve and John wrote for a Civitas Outlook symposium last week on "Statemanship and the American Presidency." John Yoo's entry slobbers over the legacy of Andrew Jackson, whileSteve's entry, "Taming the 21st Century Prince," is a more philosophical exploration of the issue, and, contrary to the careless calumnies and reckless imprecations of John, does not contain a single reference to the Clean Air Act!And our final segment delves into a recent bold law review article by a young lawyer friend of ours, Deion Kathawa, entitled "'We the People' Are the Last Word on the Meaning of Our Constitution." His argument is bracing: Congress, because it is the political organ closest to the people, should have the power to override Supreme Court decisions. While agreeing with Kathawa's premise about the ultimate constitutional sovereignty of the people on account of the first principles of the Declaration of Independence, we're skeptical about his proposed remedy. What do listeners think? (We hope to have Deion on as a guest at some point soon to defend himself.)Finally, some new AI generated 3WHH custom poetry, and more revenge bumper music.

In this episode of the Professor Liberty Podcast, Mr. Palumbo dives into the complex and controversial legacy of President Andrew Jackson, focusing on one of the most debated policies of his presidency: the Indian Removal Act. Through historical context and Jackson's own reasoning, the episode explores how a man once hailed as a champion of the “common man” also presided over one of the darkest chapters in American history—the forced relocation of Native American tribes along the Trail of Tears. Mr. Palumbo examines the political, economic, and cultural motives behind removal, Jackson's belief that it was a necessary measure to preserve Native lives, and how this moment in history clashes with modern values of diversity and inclusion.
