In this episode, Allie confronts the growing accusations of “Christian nationalism” against conservative Christians, especially over immigration enforcement and support for ICE, by responding directly to viral posts from progressive Christian figures like Ben Cremer and John Pavlovitz. She defines what Christian nationalism actually is (and isn't), explains why every worldview inevitably shapes law and public policy, and lays out a biblical case for national borders, pro‑life laws, and a Christian view of government. Allie exposes how progressive Christians often conflate the kingdom of God with America, misuse “welcome the stranger” passages to justify open borders, and deploy toxic empathy and inflammatory rhetoric that unfairly paints white evangelicals as the source of America's problems. Progressive Catholics aren't safe either, as Allie highlights Catholicism's social justice problem by examining statements by figures like Pope Leo XIV. This episode is a must‑listen for anyone wrestling with the debate over Christian nationalism, the Anti-ICE riots in Minnesota, abortion, biblical justice, and politics in the church.

Spain's government will grant legal status to undocumented migrants currently living in the country. The decree, passed after years of grassroots campaigning, will potentially impact about 500,000 migrants and comes in stark contrast to the anti-immigration sentiment in other EU countries. Why has the Spanish government decided to embrace its migrant population now?

In this episode, we examine proposals that would restrict or revoke U.S. citizenship, including the constitutional limits on forced renunciation, dual citizenship, and the government's authority to define who belongs. We discuss population policy, free movement in Europe, and Supreme Court precedents that constrain state power over individual status. We also break down a sharp drop in the dollar, revisit the failures of mercantilism, and touch on the cultural politics surrounding Bill Belichick and the Hall of Fame. We then turn to firearms, protest, and political hypocrisy, looking closely at gun violence data, international bans, and the selective application of constitutional principles. We close by exploring free speech, due process, religious freedom, and what happens when rights give way to raw power, from domestic politics to authoritarian regimes abroad. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:32 The Exclusive Citizenship Act Explained 01:16 Forced Renunciation and Dual Citizenship Risks 02:30 Could the Government Strip Citizenship? 03:47 Population Reduction and the “100 Million Americans” Idea 05:20 European Passports, Borders, and Free Movement 06:57 Supreme Court Limits on Revoking Citizenship 08:32 Compelled Speech and Constitutional Conflicts 09:46 The Dollar's Worst Day and Weak Currency Politics 11:17 Mercantilism and Why Economists Rejected It 12:51 Bill Belichick and the Politics of the Hall of Fame 15:34 Minnesota Shooting and the Second Amendment Flip 16:46 When and Why People Carry Guns 18:32 What the Data Really Says About Gun Violence 21:01 International Gun Bans and Substitution Effects 22:11 Protests, Firearms, and Political Hypocrisy 24:12 Republicans, Democrats, and Reversed Principles 27:39 Principles vs Preferences in Constitutional Rights 30:11 Do People Actually Believe in Free Speech? 31:35 Rights as a Defense Against Totalitarianism 32:14 Religion, the First Amendment, and Equal Treatment 33:58 The Taliban, Education, and Religious Absolutism 37:09 Why the Second Amendment Became Politically Unique 39:03 Political Violence and State Power 41:16 Due Process, Federal Force, and Law Enforcement Norms Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we'll be talking about the dangerous level of pollution in Bangkok as the city pushes for more work-from-home measures, Thai political parties riding nationalist currents amid rising border tensions, and a little later, a Thai fugitive being extradited to the US for murder charges after nearly 30 years on the run.
In this episode of AUA News Inside Tract, Dr. Mark Gonzalgo, professor of urology at the University of Miami and Chair of the AUA Office of Education, speaks with Dr. Rigoberto Pallares-Mendez, attending urologist at Hospital General Tijuana and Hospital Ángeles Tijuana, about his experience as an AUA Exchange Scholar. Dr. Pallares-Mendez shares his path into urology, his passion for robotic surgery, and insights gained from training in Miami. Together, they explore differences between U.S. and Mexican healthcare systems, the importance of mentorship and systems-based practice, and how global exchange programs help elevate patient care across borders.

In this week's episode of High on Home Grown, we're serving up a mix of quirky industry moves, regulatory updates, and progress on medical access across the UK and beyond: Macky kicks things off with a slightly unexpected crossover, as the cannabis industry teams up with chefs in a push to stand out. Including one story involving mustard that definitely raised a few eyebrows. A reminder that branding and creativity are becoming just as important as the product itself. Dr. Margaret brings some serious industry news, as Aurora secures EU Community Plant Variety Rights for two of its genetics. A move that highlights how intellectual property and plant protection are becoming increasingly important in the European market. John covers political developments in the US, where a new bipartisan congressional bill aims to regulate hemp-derived products. A sharp contrast to a recent ban signed by Trump. We look at what this could mean for consumers, producers, and the wider regulatory landscape. And Smee returns to rounds things out closer to home, with news that SOSE and the Scottish Borders Council are supporting a medicinal cannabis facility in the Borders. A potentially significant step for regional development and patient access. Another packed episode blending the strange, the serious, and the genuinely promising developments shaping the industry.

Crypto Power Shift: XRP | Canada Losing Alberta | Europe Exposed Crypto is no longer on the sidelines — it's moving into the center of global power. In tonight's On The Chain livestream, we break down the Crypto Power Shift, including why XRP and digital assets are increasingly tied to institutional adoption, regulation, and national strategy. As the United States positions itself as the global crypto capital, the ripple effects are being felt worldwide. We then turn to Canada, where growing tension between Alberta and Ottawa is raising serious questions about political alignment, economic sovereignty, and the future of the federation. Alberta's pushback is no longer theoretical — it's becoming a real pressure point with national consequences. Finally, we expose what's happening across Europe. From Germany and Hungary to the UK and beyond, cracks are forming between leadership, policy, and public reality. Immigration, borders, elections, and economic control are all converging into a moment of reckoning. This episode connects: • XRP and the crypto power shift • U.S. crypto policy and global influence • Alberta's role in Canada's internal struggle • Europe's political and economic exposure • Borders, sovereignty, and voter integrity This isn't about headlines or hype. It's about who controls money, borders, and legitimacy in a rapidly changing world.

7. Guest Author: Victor Davis Hanson. Headline: Globalist Elites and the End of Sovereignty. Summary: Hanson characterizes "Davos Man" as a global elite class seeking to transcend national borders and impose a technocratic, one-world government. He argues these elites use crises like climate change and the pandemic to seize power and bypass democratic consent, aiming to erase national distinctiveness.1927 MANHATTAN LINDBERGH AND MAYOR JIMMIE WALKER

Though Wisconsin hasn't been faced with the major ICE raids as we've seen in LA, Chicago, and Minneapolis, there is growing concern that ICE will arrive in Wisconsin. Governor Evers said this week that the state is preparing for this inevitability. To talk about ICE raids and the larger context of anti-immigrant sentiment in the US, host Allen Ruff is joined by Armando Ibarra. Ibarra works with Voces de la Frontera, an organization with deep roots in Wisconsin. Founded in 1994, the organization responded to the displacement of people from NAFTA. Over the years Voces has helped more than 16,500 families create “family disruption plans” and has held “know your rights” sessions for more than 30,000 people across Wisconsin. Voces de la Frontera will be holding its annual assembly this weekend. Ibarra also discusses the US as a land of immigrants in a land of anti-immigrants, from colonization, Westward expansion, and the Chinese Exclusion Act, to the present. Ibarra says that the US is no longer pretending not to be an empire, as we've seen with the Trump administration's aggression in Latin America. They also discuss the Supreme Court ruling that legitimizes racial profiling, the reframing of protest as “domestic terrorism,” the rise of state-sanctioned violence against immigrants, and the 287(g) programs that deputize local law enforcement to act as immigration agents. Voces organizes a 24-7 emergency ICE hotline at 1-800-427-0213. Armando Ibarra is a Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor in the School for Workers. He's the co-author of the award winning book, The Latino Question: Politics, Labouring Classes and the Next Left.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we tackle the pressing issue of trade enforcement and the crucial legislation aimed at leveling the playing field with China. Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne joins us to discuss her pivotal Leveling the Playing Field 2.0 Act, which seeks to address the unfair advantages that have allowed China to manipulate trade practices at the expense of American workers. She explains how the legislation aims to close loopholes that have enabled Chinese goods to circumvent tariffs and emphasizes the bipartisan support it has garnered in Congress.As the conversation unfolds, we delve into the broader implications of trade practices and the urgent need for accountability in how taxpayer dollars are being utilized. Congresswoman Van Dyne sheds light on the ongoing investigations into nonprofit organizations and their potential connections to fraudulent schemes, particularly in Minnesota. She emphasizes the importance of ensuring that taxpayer money is not funneled into corrupt operations that undermine American values and security.Furthermore, we discuss the potential historic moment in Congress regarding former President Bill Clinton's refusal to testify and the implications of holding a former president in contempt. Congresswoman Van Dyne shares her thoughts on the need for accountability and the expectation that no one is above the law, highlighting the critical role of transparency in government.Next, we welcome the acclaimed investigative journalist Peter Schweizer, whose latest book, "The Invisible Coup," exposes the alarming realities of weaponized immigration in America. Schweitzer reveals how foreign entities, particularly from China and Mexico, have established extensive political networks within the U.S. aimed at undermining American sovereignty and advancing their own interests.We delve into the historical context of these tactics, tracing their roots back to the 1970s and highlighting significant events like the we welcome the acclaimed investigative journalist Peter Schweitzer, whose latest book, "The Invisible Go," exposes the alarming realities of weaponized immigration in America.

Schweizer details how the Biden administration's policies have exacerbated this crisis, opening the floodgates to mass migration that he argues is part of a broader strategy to reclaim lost territories.Schweizer sheds light on the vast political infrastructure of Mexico in the U.S., including an impressive number of consulates actively engaging in domestic politics and supporting Democratic initiatives. He emphasizes the unacceptable nature of foreign interference in American elections and discusses the implications of birthright citizenship, particularly as it relates to organized efforts by foreign governments to manipulate U.S. immigration laws.

We delve into the implications of this event and discuss the broader context of religious freedom in America.Joining us is JP De Gance, founder and president of Communio National Ministry, who shares his insights on the stark contrast between the current administration and its predecessor regarding support for the faith community. J.P. highlights the positive steps taken by President Trump to bolster Christian values, including the establishment of the White House faith office and the open discussions of faith among administration officials.As we reflect on the challenges faced by Christians today, JP emphasizes the need for swift action against those who threaten religious liberty. He argues that the Minneapolis incident represents a troubling escalation in the left's war on Christianity, calling for decisive legal repercussions to deter future attacks on places of worship.Furthermore, we discuss the responsibilities of pastors and church leaders in advocating for their congregations and the importance of engaging with elected officials to safeguard religious freedoms. JP stresses that the protection of religious liberty must be prioritized and that the community must hold authorities accountable to prevent such disruptions from occurring again.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

China's Quest for Legitimacy and Defense. Guest: GREGORY COPLEY. The Chinese Communist Party yearns for ancient China's legitimacy while defending its modern borders. Rather than traditional imperial expansion, Chinaemploys "total war" non-military means. However, the state currently faces a crisis of sovereignty as it implodes internally under disproven totalitarian models and intensifying defensive pressures.1903 QING DYNASTY DOWAGER EMPRESS
Lessons from the Superpower's Economic Resurgence. Guest: GREGORY COPLEY. The 21st century reveals that nations prioritizing energy security and enforced borders tend to succeed. President Trump's focus on manufacturing and cheap energy has bolstered the U.S. economy, positioning it as an unchallenged superpower. However, his dynamic approach often alienates allies while redefining grand strategy.1940 ALLENTOWN BUS
In this episode, Alex traces a straight line from Whren v. United States to today's visa regime. He begins with the Supreme Court's decision in Whren, a case that formally declared motive irrelevant—so long as the government can point to a legal justification. That ruling didn't just reshape policing; it normalized pretext as a governing principle. From there, Alex turns to the State Department, where that same logic quietly operates at a global scale. Visa decisions are framed as neutral exercises of discretion, but in practice they rely on opaque standards, unchecked power, and assumptions that map closely onto race, nationality, and perceived threat. Like traffic stops after Whren, denials don't need to admit bias—only a technically lawful reason. This episode argues that what looks like bureaucratic routine is actually the afterlife of Whren: a legal architecture that insulates discrimination by calling it discretion. From domestic policing to border control, we examine how law creates plausible deniability—and how entire populations pay the price.

How did modern territoriality emerge and what are its consequences? From Frontiers to Borders: How Colonial Technicians Created Modern Territoriality (Cambridge UP, 2025) examines these key questions with a unique global perspective. Kerry Goettlich argues that linear boundaries are products of particular colonial encounters, rather than being essentially an intra-European practice artificially imposed on colonized regions. He reconceptualizes modern territoriality as a phenomenon separate from sovereignty and the state, based on expert practices of delimitation and demarcation. Its history stems from the social production of expertise oriented towards these practices. Employing both primary and secondary sources, From Frontiers to Borders examines how this expertise emerged in settler colonies in North America and in British India – cases which illuminate a range of different types of colonial rule and influence. It also explores some of the consequences of the globalization of modern territoriality, exposing the colonial origins of Boundary Studies, and the impact of boundary experts on the Paris Peace Conference of 1919–20. Dr Kerry Goettlich is an International Relations scholar whose work draws on original historical research to reframe theoretical debates about international politics, particularly around issues of territory and borders. His current work deals with the history of the legal and moral prohibition of territorial conquest. He is an associate professor at City St George's, University of London.

How did modern territoriality emerge and what are its consequences? From Frontiers to Borders: How Colonial Technicians Created Modern Territoriality (Cambridge UP, 2025) examines these key questions with a unique global perspective. Kerry Goettlich argues that linear boundaries are products of particular colonial encounters, rather than being essentially an intra-European practice artificially imposed on colonized regions. He reconceptualizes modern territoriality as a phenomenon separate from sovereignty and the state, based on expert practices of delimitation and demarcation. Its history stems from the social production of expertise oriented towards these practices. Employing both primary and secondary sources, From Frontiers to Borders examines how this expertise emerged in settler colonies in North America and in British India – cases which illuminate a range of different types of colonial rule and influence. It also explores some of the consequences of the globalization of modern territoriality, exposing the colonial origins of Boundary Studies, and the impact of boundary experts on the Paris Peace Conference of 1919–20. Dr Kerry Goettlich is an International Relations scholar whose work draws on original historical research to reframe theoretical debates about international politics, particularly around issues of territory and borders. His current work deals with the history of the legal and moral prohibition of territorial conquest. He is an associate professor at City St George's, University of London.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Headlines shout about border crises while our feeds trade compassion for outrage, but the deeper question remains: how do we love the stranger without surrendering the order that protects the weak? Jack takes a hard look at the images and ideas shaping public imagination, starting with the Holy Family's flight into Egypt and what it actually means for modern immigration debates. Egypt was a Roman province, not an alien nation; the story teaches refuge from a tyrant, not a mandate for lawlessness or open borders.Drawing on St. John Paul II's distinction between emigrants and immigrants, we examine how language quietly shifts blame from failed regimes that expel people to host nations struggling to respond. Borders exist to serve justice, not to erase it; ordered hospitality protects both citizens and newcomers.The goal is a community able to welcome the stranger while preserving the very foundations that make welcome possible—family, faith‑shaped virtues, and the common good.Read Jack's Article: Charity Without Illusion: Immigration, Prudence, and the Christian MemoryFollow us on XIf this conversation challenged you or clarified something you've felt but couldn't name, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review with the one question you want us to tackle next.Support the show
Episode #111 – Gil Gillenwater: Hope, Borders & Helping Without Handouts In this episode, I sit down with Gil Gillenwater — author, traveler, and humanitarian — to talk about his book Hope On The Border and the life experiences that led him to write it. Gil has spent years working in Mexico and along the U.S.–Mexico border, where he's seen firsthand what meaningful help actually looks like. We talk about service that empowers instead of enables, the realities of cross-border work, and the personal cost of choosing to show up in difficult places. Gil also shares stories of intense and sometimes scary travel encounters that shaped his worldview and reinforced why hope isn't passive — it's practiced. In this episode, we talk about: · What inspired Hope On The Border and the stories behind it · Working in Mexico and navigating cultural, emotional, and logistical challenges · Helping people without taking away their dignity or self-reliance · Scary and unpredictable moments while traveling — and what they taught him · Why real hope shows up through presence, not handouts About Gil Gillenwater Gil works with communities in Mexico through Rancho Feliz, focusing on connection, empowerment, and long-term impact rather than quick fixes. His approach centers on listening first and serving in ways that respect people's humanity. Learn more about Gil and his work here:
SHIFTING BORDERS AND THE FIGHT FOR GALICIAN IDENTITY Colleague Professor Eugene Finkel. Finkel shares the story of his grandfather, Israel (Lev), a Jew from Galicia who was drafted into the Red Army despite growing up in Poland without speaking Russian. This illustrates the complex history of western Ukraine, which experienced Austrian tolerance regarding language compared to Russian repression and forced assimilation elsewhere. Finkel notes that Russian fear of Ukrainian nationalism in Galicia was a key driver for World War I. Following the 1917 Russian Empire collapse, a short-lived Ukrainian state emerged, but the region was eventually partitioned between the Soviet Union and Poland in 1939. NUMBER 21863 UKRAINE

The Growing Tax Strike Movement. Thousands Refuse to Pay Taxes. The Scam That Revealed How Broken the AMERICAN TAX System Is! The Minnesota daycare fraud didn't just steal billions — it shattered the social contract. People work, pay taxes, and expect basic enforcement. What they got instead was a system with no guardrails, no urgency, and no accountability. When fraud is tolerated at scale, trust collapses — not just in government, but in the entire structure holding society together.

When did we truly become Americans — and what did the Founders actually believe about defending our nation? In this powerful episode, Tara dismantles the myth that America was ever meant to be isolationist. From the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791, to the Monroe Doctrine just 30 years later, Tara walks through the history the political class hopes you've forgotten — and why it matters right now. This episode connects early American strategy to modern threats: China's control of rare earth minerals, infiltration through student visas, agricultural warfare, and the global pressure campaign unfolding across our hemisphere. This isn't Iraq. This isn't Afghanistan. This is something very different — and very real. History didn't change.
On this 200th episode, Eamon & Merlin talk goes retro and talks the Scary Island episodes of Real Housewives of New York City with Executive Producer and first time Real Housewives watcher Sorg. Then, they talk the Season 18 premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race, where the light shines bright on the 14 new queens, mainly because half are from the Sunshine state. And finally, the newest episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, when Meredith isn't the only one with accusations of substance abuse as new ones get splashed in Britani's direction. 4:25 - Real Housewives of New York: Scary Island 53:54 - RuPaul's Drag Race: Season 18: Episode 01 1:58:58 - Real Housewives of Salt Lake City: Season 06: Episode 13 We are Eamon and Merlin, a queer married couple from Texas living in Pittsburgh, PA.

In 2026 a return to our core principles as a nation will be the paramount goal. Constraints on power are reasserting themselves. System memory returns. Back to the founder's concepts. Federalism by friction. Borders will be redrawn not in ink, but in practice. Somali's were targeted for specific reasons. We'll hear about currency zones and sovereignty blocks. Europe is changing fast too. UK won't dissolve but unity is weakening. The world sees old rules no longer apply. Conformity is unenforceable. The eighth and ninth Amendments will be key. Power will flow back to the states. This is basic political physics and not rebellion. The economic hardships are real. Traditional structure will win and systems will stop pretending. America 250 matters. Trump's statements on the new year give hints. He won't be around forever. Since 2013, the power has returned to the people. Ohio minimized it's own state's constitution and invited federal overreach. That's important. Empires last about 250 years. Traditional colonialism is returning. China security buildup happening in the Sahel. There's South America and aliens too. Hardships are lessons. So much reckoning is coming. Above it all, President Trump is slowly and carefully returning power to the people.

Judge faith by the neighbor who gets help, not the hype of our politics. Episcopal deacon Gerri Endicott shows how preaching turns into rides, meals, and quiet care. She explains why she leads with “I follow Jesus,” a simple line that lowers walls and points to a Person, not a brand. Judge faith by the neighbor who gets help, not the volume of our politics. Craig and Gerri test faith by its fruit. They sort out what happens when Christianity gets pulled into national politics. Gratitude for a country is good; loyalty belongs to Jesus. Gerri also names a pre-Advent practice from her church's calendar that helps her community rehearse that loyalty (Christ the King). Not every church observes it, but the posture fits anywhere. Try this week: serve one neighbor, tell the truth with kindness, pray for an enemy by name, choose presence over outrage. If you want a public faith that looks like Jesus, start here. Their conversation digs into: What a deacon does: service over stage, church facing outward. “I follow Jesus” language that lowers walls. Christian nationalism vs. the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5–7). Christ the King (her practice): a simple loyalty reset. Nations (peoples) vs. modern countries—why words matter. Presence over outrage: small acts, kept promises, steady love.

There are years that feel chaotic while you're living them, and then there are years that snap into focus later like a crime scene photo. 2025 is the latter.Because 2025 wasn't loud chaos. It was quiet correction. And nothing terrifies the Left more than order returning without their permission.Trump's second term didn't open with poetry. It opened with paperwork. Borders. Ledgers. Labels. Consequences. The sort of things Democrats swear are impossible right up until someone does them.The Left spent the year screaming about norms. Trump spent the year restoring reality. And reality, as it turns out, votes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
RETHINKING BORDERS AND THE ECONOMIC NECESSITY OF HUMAN MOBILITY Colleague Gaia Vince. Vince argues that while humans have migrated for hundreds of thousands of years, modern borders currently restrict the world's most valuable economic resource: human labor. She suggests that removing these barriers could significantly boost global GDP, noting that current restrictions are ill-suited for a world facing climate catastrophe. As the Global North faces a demographic crisis with aging populations, Vince asserts these nations need immigrants to sustain their economies. She advocates for managing migration through "social investment" and inclusivity rather than brutality, ensuring that new arrivals are viewed as assets rather than threats.

Catholic immigration reshaped the early United States long before Ellis Island. This episode follows the people pulled into the new nation through shifting borders, and the millions pushed across the Atlantic by famine, poverty, political upheaval, and limited opportunity. From the French traders of the Old Northwest to Mexican Tejanos, from German radicals to Irish famine survivors, we explore how faith, identity, and movement transformed a rapidly expanding country. #HistoryPodcast #CatholicHistory #USHistory #IrishImmigration #GermanImmigration #TexasHistory #EarlyAmerica #PapacyPodcastSupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: http://patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book: http://bit.ly/40ckJ8EHave questions, comments or feedback?
