392 BCE, the year that went down in history for “a campaign in no way memorable”. Ah, that Livy, he paints quite a picture, doesn't he? All About the ConsulsThe campaign in question involved our consuls for the year. Yep, consuls! The plebeians were still in a blissful mood after receiving some of the land from Veii in the previous year and so they didn't fight for military tribunes. The consuls took care of a few domestic matters, such as holding the Great Games promised by Camillus during the siege against Veii and dedicating the temple to Juno (another of Camillus' promises). Once the gods had been satisfied, the Romans were off to fight the Aequians at Mount Algidus in the titular “campaign in no way memorable.” Come on Aequians, put up a proper fight! The decisive victory (and possible capture of the city of Liphoecua) earned the consul Valerius a triumph as he slaughtered so many of the fleeing enemy. His colleague, Manlius, was given the lesser honour of an ovation. Guess he didn't kill as many men who were running away in terror! You can't reward that kind of behaviour in Ancient Rome. Kicking the Romans when they were really downWar found the Romans again in 392, this time with the Etruscan people of Volsinii and the Sappinates (which we presume was near Volsinii). The Romans could not respond with their typical vigour as they were hit by a horrific plague. Famine and pestilence were rampant in their part of the world, thanks to drought and a heatwave. These are the same environmental crises and disease mentioned by Dionysius of Halicarnassus for the previous year, which goes to show how the dating for this period is a tad confused. With the Romans too ill to fight, they send angry messages to their new enemies that they will get their revenge… just as soon as they can stop vomiting. Good Censors are like WafflesNo one was immune from the pestilence. Censors had been elected in 393 BCE, but now one of those elected, Gaius Julius, died in office and was replaced with Marcus Cornelius. Spoiler alert, but we are only a couple of years away from the Gallic sack of Rome. This happened in the same lustrum as events such as the death of Gaius Julius. Livy asserts that the way he was replaced caused issues with the gods, and that the Romans would ensure the partner of deceased stepped down from office and two brand new colleagues would be placed in office in the future. This may not be accurate, but it certainly shows that the Romans were committed to the idea of collegiality.The Scourge of the PlagueWhen the consuls also fell ill, they decided the Romans needed some fresh auspices. It was time for an interregnum! The consuls stepped down from office, and power was shared amongst the interreges until military tribunes with consular power were elected. We know what you're thinking – why interreges? This was a position created to deal with the transfer of powers between kings. It's interesting that the Romans continue to use this position long into the Republic. The last time we saw interreges was only a few years earlier in 396 BCE. We do mention a couple of Latin terms in this episode, so here is your handy glossary in case you need it!· The pomerium – the sacred boundary of the city. This was religious in nature. The pomerium set the bounds within which the auspices could be taken.· Reference to the lustrum – a lustratio was a purification ceremony. The lustrum condere was conducted at the end of a census by one of the censors.

Today, we're looking at the controversy that has erupted from left-wing radicals over American Christian performer Sean Feucht's Canadian worship tour, which saw a counter-protest outside of the Montreal church that hosted his Quebec event this weekend. Plus, a new survey has found non-white Canadians are the strongest group opposed to mass immigration. Do the findings put an end to the narrative that resisting mass immigration is a "racist" belief? And finally, President Donald Trump is in Europe, where he has taken on the rise of censorship across the continent.
Is free speech in global decline? A new survey suggests public support for free expression is dropping worldwide, with citizens in authoritarian countries like Venezuela and Hungary showing stronger commitment to free speech than many living in democracies.From the unfulfilled digital promises of the Arab Spring to Europe's controversial Digital Services Act, the Internet hasn't necessarily delivered the free speech revolution many predicted. Americans under 30 are less committed to free speech principles than previous generations, while both of the U.S.'s major political parties face accusations of using government power to control information.As AI reshapes how we communicate and governments worldwide rethink speech regulations, what does this mean for the future of human expression? Are we witnessing a fundamental shift in how societies value free speech, or simply recycling ancient debates in digital form?Evan is joined by Jacob Mchangama, Executive Director of The Future of Free Speech at Vanderbilt, and author of Free Speech: A History From Socrates to Social Media, and Ashkhen Kazaryan, Senior Legal Fellow at The Future of Free Speech. Previously, she was the lead for North and Latin America on the content regulation team at Meta.

In this explosive two-part exposé, Tara dives deep into the intersecting threats facing America—from violent foreign cartels like Tren de Aragua infiltrating U.S. borders to global censorship efforts spearheaded by figures like Nina Jankowicz. With Trump cracking down on cartel networks and the European Union targeting Elon Musk and American free speech under the guise of “fighting disinformation,” a chilling picture emerges: foreign and domestic actors are uniting to undermine U.S. sovereignty, destabilize democracy, and silence dissent. From terror plots to six-billion-dollar speech fines, this is the frontline in the battle for America's future.
Censor board officials, while reviewing a movie on legendary Dalit poet-activist Namdeo Dhasal, asked who he was, stunning the filmmaker and sparking political and social outrage. Dhasal gave voice to not just the Dalit experience but also that of those forced to the fringes of society. His was the voice of all the oppressed. Dhasal's words transformed into action which, in turn, transformed into inspiration. That inspiration lives on for millions. Please listen to the latest episode of All Indians Matter.

It was a deeply weird Sunday at CBS. "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan argued that free speech led to the Holocaust, as if the Nazis allowed free speech. Then "60 Minutes" promoted German prosecutors fining and jailing people for "hate speech" on social media. CBS likes a little "German order" on the internet.

Actively Unwoke: Fighting back against woke insanity in your life
Is Elon Musk turning into what he claims to oppose? In this episode, we dive into the growing controversy around Musk's crackdown on voices he disagrees with on X (formerly Twitter). From bans to shadowbans, Musk's actions are raising eyebrows—and not in a good way. Is this self-proclaimed free speech absolutist borrowing tactics straight from the woke playbook? I'll break down the hypocrisy, explore what this means for the platform, and ask: Is Elon Musk the newest face of censorship culture?

It's New Year's Day, Wednesday, January 1st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Gunmen killed Columbian pastor and two family members Armed gunmen killed a Protestant pastor and two of his family members in northern Colombia on Sunday. The attackers killed Pastor Marlon Lora, his wife Yorley Rincon, and his daughter Ángela. His son Santiago was severely injured. The family was having lunch after attending church. Pastor Lora led the Prince of Peace Villaparaguay Church and oversaw 35 urban and rural churches. The South American country's human rights office has warned of the rise of religious freedom violations against religious leaders. Such incidents rose 31% between January and September of last year. Anna Lee Stangl with Christian Solidarity Worldwide said, “Despite the grave dangers faced by religious leaders, the Colombian government has stripped them of their status within the National Protection System. … We urge the government to … ensure protection for religious leaders, who remain at risk of violence and intimidation because of their role as peacemakers in their communities.” In Matthew 5:9, Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Brazilian government censors pro-life speech Five lawmakers in Brazil are challenging their government before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. The lawmakers accuse the government of censoring pro-life speech during the South American country's 2022 election cycle. Senator Eduardo Girão is one of the lawmakers in the case. He warned, “Brazil is facing a very serious censorship problem. While our constitution protects our rights to speak and express ourselves freely as citizens of Brazil, Brazilians throughout the country are afraid to share their beliefs for fear of persecution and punishment.” World population hits 8 billion The U.S. Census Bureau released a report on Monday, estimating the world's population to reach 8.09 billion people. That would be an increase of 71 million people during 2024, a growth rate of just under one percent. India is the most populated country in the world followed by China and the United States. The report estimates the U.S. population to be over 341 million today, an increase of 2.6 million people during 2024. Trump strongly endorses House Speaker Mike Johnson to stay in leadership President-elect Donald Trump supported Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson to continue his leadership role in Congress. In a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump wrote, “Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement.” The House of Representatives will vote on a speaker this Friday. However, not all Republicans support Johnson to continue in the position, citing too much cooperation with Democrats. Free speech on college campus under attack in 2024 The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression reports 2024 was the worst year on record for free speech on college campuses. During 2023, there were over 150 attempts to cancel speech at colleges like disinviting speakers, canceling performances, and preventing the screening of films. This year, there were over 160 such attempts. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression also reports that 35% of faculty at major colleges self-censor their own speech. That's up from about 9% in the 1950s. 8 encouraging trends in global Christianity for 2024 Lifeway Research shared their top 10 articles from last year. One of them was an article entitled, “8 Encouraging Trends in Global Christianity for 2024.” The study noted Christianity is expected to continue growing, reaching 2.63 billion people last year. Groups with the fastest growth include Protestants, independents, Evangelicals, and Pentecostal/charismatics. The fastest growing areas for Christianity are in the global south, like Asia and Africa. Last year also continued the trend of more and more missionaries being sent and churches being planted than ever before. Psalm 22:27 says, “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.” Bald eagle becomes official American national bird And finally, the bald eagle officially became the national bird of the United States just last Tuesday. The designation became official after President Joe Biden signed legislation passed by Congress. The bald eagle has appeared on the Great Seal of the United States since 1782. Congress designated the bird as the national emblem at the time. Jack Davis, co-chair of the National Bird Initiative for the National Eagle Center, said, “For nearly 250 years, we called the bald eagle the national bird when it wasn't. But now the title is official, and no bird is more deserving.” The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs notes, “Bald eagles, like other eagles worldwide, had been seen by many as symbols of strength, courage, freedom and immortality for generations. And, unlike other eagles, the bald eagle was indigenous only to North America.” Close And that's The Worldview on this New Year's Day, Wednesday, January 1st, in the year of our Lord 2025.

It's Tuesday, December 3rd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Chinese democracy activists get prison time The Chinese Communist government in Hong Kong has sentenced 45 democracy activists to prison time. The activists had participated in a political party for a primary not approved of by the state. At least two Christians, Benny Tai, age 60, and Joshua Wong, age 28, were among those sent to prison. Finnish officials cancel concert featuring Handel's Messiah A school in the former Christian-influenced nation of Finland cancelled a concert featuring segments of Handel's Messiah. According to a news report from the Helsingin Salomat paper, the cancelled concert would have been a joint performance by the Finnish Baroque Orchestra and the Helsinki Chamber Choir. Biden-Harris Dept of Ed. persecuting Christian colleges The American Principles Project has released a report charging the Biden administration's Department of Education with persecuting Christian colleges. The report cites that nearly 70% of penalties imposed by the Department of Education's Office of Enforcement has been against Christian institutions and career colleges, even though these schools represent less than 10% of college students. And, within the last year, the Biden-Harris Department of Education imposed record fines against two of the nation's most prominent Christian universities. It fined Grand Canyon University a whopping $37.7 million for allegedly “not fully informing” students about the costs of its doctoral programs on its website. University officials “categorically” denied the allegation. And the education bureaucrats levied a $14 million fine against Liberty University for alleged violations which stem from a failure to comply with crime-reporting requirements. The Department's penalty, the largest ever for the category, hardly fits the accusation— especially considering steps the school voluntarily took to remedy its reporting and agreed to spend $2 million towards “on-campus safety improvements and compliance enhancements.” By comparison, Michigan State University was only fined $4.5 million in 2019 for failing to report sexual abuses by former team doctor Larry Nassar, who assaulted hundreds of victims The fines of the Christian colleges amount to more than all other penalties assessed by the Department of Education over the past seven years. Also, the report points out that funding for the heavy-handed enforcement has increased from $4 million to $61 million just since 2023. Planned Parenthood gave hearts of aborted babies to scientists Stomach-churning emails show Planned Parenthood negotiating terms regarding the donation of aborted fetuses for medical research, reports the New York Post. The emails discuss fetal tissue like any other commodity such as sugar or rice, nonchalantly negotiating for dead babies who were alive up to 23 weeks gestation from elective abortions. A heavily-redacted so-called “Research Plan” submitted to the University of California San Diego Institutional Review Board, and approved in 2018, states scientists wanted 2,500 dead babies from up to almost the sixth month of gestation for experimentation. The plan gruesomely states, “We will collect tissues from fetuses ranging from 4 to 23 weeks gestational age from subjects undergoing elective surgical pregnancy termination at Planned Parenthood in San Diego.” Although selling fetal tissue is illegal, donating it is not illegal. The contract between University of California San Diego and Planned Parenthood appears to allow Planned Parenthood to retain “intellectual property rights” relating to the fetal tissue, although it also does not grant the school the independent right to “commercialize” the tissue. David Daleiden, pro-life journalist and the founder of the Center for Medical Progress, obtained the emails by filing a California public records request. Let's remember the words of Psalm 94:2-3, 6-7, 8-10. “Rise up, O Judge of the Earth; repay to the proud what they deserve! O Lord, how long shall the wicked exult? They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; and they say, ‘The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.' “Understand, O dullest of the people. Fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see? He who disciplines the nations, does He not rebuke?” Joe Biden pardons his son In a surprising turn around, President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, of several firearms charges, and “all crimes committed between 2014 and 2024,” which could have added up to 17 years prison time, reports The Associated Press. Gun control has played a major part in the 4-year Biden administration. Between 1993 and 2008, while serving in the US Senate, Joe Biden voted against gun rights on all nine bills presented. Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas cheered him on. CROCKETT: “Way to go, Joe. Let me be the first one to congratulate the president for deciding to do this. Because, at the end of the day, we know that we have a 34-count convicted felon that is about to walk into the White House. So, for anyone that wants to clutch their pearls now, because he decided that he was going to pardon his son, I would say, take a look in the mirror.” But Scott Jennings, the conservative commentator on CNN, was aghast. JENNINGS: “This is the worst possible thing a president could possibly do to his party and to the country. To sit for a year and say, ‘I will not do this. The rule of law is sacred. We have to respect the justice system. We have to respect juries. We have to respect the guard rails and the norms of our democracy.' “These people are liars. Inflation: it's transitory. Afghanistan: it's a success. The border is secure. Robert Hur is a liar. The videos are cheap fakes. Biden has a cold. He'll never drop out. ‘Oh, I'll never pardon Hunter.' It's all a lie. It is all a grift. “Every American -- except the most partisan, brain-rotted people -- are going to be outraged by this today. He's disgraced. Joe Biden, [White House Press Secretary] Karine Jean-Pierre, how many minutes of tape do we have of both of these people telling the American people this will not happen? We could play it all morning. And it's a lie to benefit his own family. “He's drained every ounce of credibility from every surrogate. If Karine Jean-Pierre had an ounce of self-respect, she'd get off the plane in Africa today, where they're going so he can avoid the press, and resign. He's drained all of her credibility and everybody else who's defended this.” Interestingly, prior to the election, in an interview with Hugh Hewitt, President-elect Donald Trump said he would consider a pardon for Hunter Biden. Biden censors God in Thanksgiving Proclamation In other President Biden news, for the second year in a row, he issued a Thanksgiving proclamation completely avoiding any mention of God, reports Breitbart. Thus far, only Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden have left God out of Thanksgiving. Romans 1:21 explains that “although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” Homosexual couples adopt at 7x the rate as heterosexual couples And finally, courts are awarding homosexual male couples and homosexual female couples living together in sin with adoptions at seven times the rate of heterosexual married couples, according to recent data from the Census Bureau. A full 21% of homosexuals living in a sinful relationship have adopted children. Tragically, the Mark Regnerus study conducted in 2012 found that 8% of children raised in homosexual homes are victims of incest.
