Dr. Kristen Tegtmeier Oertel's Seeking Freedom in Indian Country: Slavery, Sovereignty, and Resistance within the Five Tribes, 1790–1861 (LSU Press, 2026) is the first comprehensive study of African chattel slavery within the Five Tribes: the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek), and Seminole Nations. Dr. Oertel examines how chattel slavery functioned among all Five Tribes before and during the removal process, how the tribes reconstituted slavery post-removal in Indian Territory, and how enslaved Black people promoted freedom-seeking strategies at each stage. Furthermore, her work considers how the conflict over slavery in Indian Territory contributed to the larger national debate over slavery's fate on the eve of the Civil War. Historians have examined how the practice of African enslavement emerged within one or two tribes, how forced migration affected slavery within particular nations, and how the debate over slavery divided multiple Indigenous nations. Dr. Oertel, however, is the first to examine Indian Territory as a whole, its significance to the sectional debates, and its role as an incubator of emancipation policies in the United States. Knitting together these individual tribal narratives and supplementing them with extensive primary research on how slavery functioned across Indian Territory, she integrates Indian country into the antebellum march toward the Civil War. Seeking Freedom in Indian Country joins a rising chorus of studies that integrate southern and western history, which, by default, also pulls together the history of the so-called Indian Wars with the Civil War. Dr. Oertel suggests that we cannot fully understand the causes of the Civil War without also considering the changes brought about by the forced removal of Indians. She argues that settler colonialism and the expansion of African chattel slavery together set the stage for sectional conflict to explode in the West. Ironically, both Indigenous resistance to settler colonialism and Black resistance to slavery challenged white supremacy in ways that foretold the end of slavery but also furthered the settler colonial project. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Slavery has been called America's original sin, and its origins on the Virginia coast made it a tragic staple of the state's and the South's economy. Western Virginia counties, like the Northern states, had a far smaller percentage of enslaved residents, but, of course, one slave is one too many.  Through a complicated process endorsed by President Lincoln, West Virginia was able to end the atrocity before the Civil War ended, and finally make it's state motto about freedom ring true.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single Scripture can change how you see everything and Psalm 2 does not whisper. We start with God's warning to rulers and His promise of joy for anyone who takes refuge in Him, then we bring that lens to a modern story of violence in Lancaster, South Carolina. The question we keep circling is simple and uncomfortable: when we talk about immigration, crime, and ideology, do we remember the real victims and our responsibility to protect the vulnerable right in front of us?We also slow down and pray for listeners who are anxious, depressed, fearful, or at the end of themselves, and for those who serve in the military, law enforcement, EMS, and firefighting. From there we turn to Proverbs 5:18–19 and speak plainly about marriage, desire, and why churches often avoid the parts of Scripture that challenge our comfort. If you want Bible-based marriage encouragement that does not sugarcoat reality, this part will make you think and maybe prompt some honest conversations at home.Then we read Acts 22 and follow Paul through injustice, lawful appeal, and a chaotic council, connecting it to Proverbs 18:13 about the danger of spouting off before listening to the facts. We close with a piece of American Christian heritage: JCPenney's Great Depression collapse, a hospital hallway hymn, and a surrender that lifted crushing worry. If you need a reminder that faith in crisis is not bravado but release, this story lands.

Eine Sendung des freien Radio Neumünster. Musik ist Klassenkampf. Hör zu, denk weiter, greif ein. Was erzählen Songs über die Welt, in der wir leben – und was verschweigen sie? Rebellische Klänge hört Musik nicht als bloßen Soundtrack, sondern als Spiegel gesellschaftlicher Verhältnisse. Diesen August nehmen wir dich mit auf eine Reise durch drei Klangwelten, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten – und doch denselben Kern freilegen: den Klassenkampf, der unter der Oberfläche jeder Zeile brodelt. Wir starten mitten im Getöse. Immortal Technique, Killer Mike, Brother Ali und Chuck D hämmern mit „Civil War“ eine Wahrheit in den Äther, die keine Schulbuchseite je drucken würde: Der wahre Bürgerkrieg tobt nicht zwischen Nord und Süd, nicht zwischen Schwarz und Weiß – er tobt zwischen denen, die alles besitzen, und denen, die alles schaffen. Eine Abrechnung mit dem Gefängnis-Industrie-Komplex, dem War on Drugs, dem Imperialismus und der rassistischen Spaltung, die unsere Klasse zerschneidet, während die ein Prozent Champagner schlürfen. Dann tauchen wir tiefer in die Maschinerie ein. Linkin Parks „Wretches and Kings“ – vergessen von manchen, unterschätzt von vielen – hämmert den Beat der Erhebung. Wenn Mike Shinoda ruft, dass die Elenden und die Könige aufeinandertreffen, dann ist das kein Fantasy-Gelaber, sondern die verdichtete Ankündigung des revolutionären Moments. Was passiert, wenn die Wretches aufhören, um Almosen zu bitten, und anfangen, das Schloss zu stürmen? Und schließlich, zum Finale, verlassen wir die Straße und betreten die Matrix. Starsets „Where the Skies End“ katapultiert uns in eine Welt aus KI-Überwachung, digitalen Türmen und leergesaugten Batterien. Wir fragen: Bist du wirklich ein Mensch oder längst nur noch User 34739? Was bedeutet es, wenn die Simulation abschmiert und dein Akku auf Null geht? Und wie wird aus dem heruntergefahrenen Subjekt eine aufsteigende Klasse, die den künstlichen Himmel zerfetzt und hinter dem Horizont ihre eigenen Geschichten findet? Das ist das Programm: Von der Barrikade über den Maschinenraum bis zum digitalen Firmament. Dreimal Aufstand, dreimal Analyse, dreimal der Beweis, dass Musik nicht berieseln, sondern bewaffnen kann. Für alle, die Musik nicht nur fühlen, sondern auch verstehen wollen. Für alle, die ahnen, dass hinter dem Sound mehr steckt. Für alle, die wissen, dass Lieder Produkte ihrer Zeit, ihrer Klassenverhältnisse, ihrer Widersprüche sind – und dass sie Ideologie tragen, manchmal unterbewusst, manchmal als flammenden Aufruf. Und für alle, die bereit sind, selbst das Mikrofon in die Hand zu nehmen, die Straße zu betreten und den ersten Riss in den Himmel zu schlagen. Drei Songs. Drei Schlachtfelder. Ein Ziel. Schalt ein, bevor sie dich abschalten.

Air Date: 8/1/2026 Today we investigate how the argument moved from what the Supreme Court decides to whether the Court should be rebuilt. Only about one in five Americans has strong confidence in the Court, and the proposals on the table would end lifetime seats, set fixed terms, and add judges across the federal bench. We're arguing that these reforms are necessary for a functioning democracy. Full Show Notes Transcript Be part of the show!

Year A – Pentecost 10; Lectionary 18 – August 2, 2026 Pastor Megan Floyd             Romans 9:1-5   Grace and peace to you from God, who is faithful and trustworthy, from the Holy Spirit, who is with us always, and from Jesus Christ, the source of our salvation. Amen. *** In that passage from Romans that Tabitha just read… could you hear the heartbreak in Paul's words? Could you hear his anguish over his Jewish siblings who had not come to follow Christ? He muses on the possibility of giving up his own place with Jesus… if only it meant they would not be forgotten. Just as Moses tried to offer himself up as a sacrifice for his people after the regrettable golden calf incident… Paul offers himself. Except… God's gifts are not ours to trade, and his sacrifice is not needed, for our God is full of compassion, and God's promises are grounded in mercy. This brief passage from Romans marks the beginning of Paul's lengthy theological wrestling with how God's covenant with Israel remains trustworthy even as he has been called to proclaim the risen Christ to the Gentiles. It comes immediately after one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture—that triumphant declaration that nothing in all of creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. And then… almost without warning, Paul is overcome with sorrow. He doesn't launch the next theological point with an argument… He begins with tears. This past Thursday evening, the book study group spent some time talking about Abraham Lincoln, which got me thinking. History reminds us that Lincoln's views on slavery developed over time. Early in the Civil War, he often spoke of preserving the Union as his highest constitutional duty. Yet after years of unimaginable suffering, after hundreds of thousands of lives had been lost, he stood before the nation at his Second Inaugural Address and called the country not to vengeance, but to healing: "With malice toward none; with charity for all." Winning the war was one thing, but… healing the nation was another. There is an enormous difference between winning an argument and loving people. Paul could have begun Romans 9 by praising himself for being on the right team… but instead, he says, "I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart." That is what the love of Christ looks like. …Paul's anguish is not rooted in judgment. It is rooted in love. He is a Jewish man whose heart is breaking because the people he loves most have not come to know Christ as he has… He has not stopped loving them. He has not written them off… He has not declared them beyond God's reach. His heart aches because they are still his family… and isn't that a feeling we know? Perhaps your heart aches for a child who no longer comes to church. A spouse who once believed but no longer does. …A sibling who walked away after being hurt. A dear friend whose faith quietly faded. Maybe you have sat in worship and instinctively looked toward the place where someone used to sit. There is grief in those empty places. Sometimes people leave because life pulls them in different directions. Sometimes they leave because they no longer recognize Christ in the church. And sometimes… and we must confess this honestly… sometimes they leave because the church has pushed them away. Our LGBTQIA+ siblings. People living with disabilities whose gifts were overlooked. People who asked hard questions. …People who never quite fit the mold. We print "All Are Welcome" on our signs... We proclaim it from our pulpits. But sometimes… unintentionally… our actions tell another story. However a person leaves… it hurts. …Paul understands that pain. But beneath Paul's grief is an even deeper question. Can God be trusted? If God's chosen people have not all embraced Christ, have God's promises somehow failed? That is the question Paul spends the next three chapters wrestling with. Truthfully, it is our question too. Can I trust God? …Can I trust grace? Can I trust forgiveness? …Can I trust that God's promises really are for me… or do I still have to prove myself? We live in a world that teaches us every blessing must be earned. Work harder. …Do better. …Be more successful. Even in the church, we quietly slip back into believing that if we pray enough, serve enough, forgive enough, then maybe God will be pleased with us. We do this… even as we know better. We preach grace… and yet we keep trying to earn what has always been God's gift. This is what drove Martin Luther nearly mad until he followed Paul's writing through the theological working out that finally led him… to grace. (…and a complete, unintended reformation of the Catholic church) Paul wrote, "I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people." It is a breathtaking statement… but Paul cannot save them any more than we save the people we love. Because Christ already has. Paul says, "I wish I could offer myself." …and Jesus says, "I already have." That is the Gospel… right there in a nutshell. Christ has already carried the burden we cannot carry. Christ has already accomplished the salvation we could never accomplish. Which means the fate of those we love does not rest on our shoulders. It rests in the hands of the God whose mercy is deeper than our understanding and whose faithfulness is greater than our fears. As theologian Mary Beth Anton reminds us, Paul ultimately must place his beloved people into God's hands… and so must we. Perhaps that is why I love what happens every time we share the meal of holy communion. The bread is broken, the wine is poured… Christ gathers us together. And yet… I suspect… every one of us can think of someone we wish were here with us. Someone whose voice used to join ours in singing. …Someone who drifted away. Maybe someone who was wounded by the church… or someone who is angry with God. Every Communion table has empty places we wish were filled. …Paul knows exactly what that feels like. But this table also reminds us of something else. This table does not belong to us. It belongs to Christ, and it is Christ who invites us… who welcomes us… and it is Christ who feeds us. Jesus Christ… who gives himself for the life of the world. The promises made here do not depend upon our worthiness. …They depend upon God's faithfulness. That is why Paul continues his wrestling all the way through Romans 11 before arriving at one of the most beautiful conclusions: "The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." (Rom 11:29) Not temporary or conditional. They are irrevocable. And then he goes even further: "For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that God may be merciful to all." (Rom 11:32) Paul does not say God is merciful only to those who have earned it… He says God's mercy is for all… because every one of us stands in need of it. Our Jewish ancestors were the first recipients of God's covenants, God's promises, God's steadfast love. Through Christ, we have been graciously grafted into that same family tree. We have not replaced them; we have been welcomed alongside them into God's unfolding story of salvation. And the God who was faithful to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah is the same faithful God who remains true to every promise made in Christ. That is why theology should never become detached from compassion. If our understanding of God does not make us love more deeply, then we have misunderstood God.    (x2) Every page of Scripture tells the story of our God whose mercy continually reaches farther than we imagined. It tells of our God in Christ who feeds the hungry because he has compassion for them… stories of our God who refuses to abandon God's people. Story after story of our God whose love is stronger than our failures… whose promises are trustworthy even when we cannot yet see how they will be fulfilled. So today, we come to this table with gratitude, carrying the names of people we love. We bring our grief and our questions… and even our doubts. We come wondering how God is still at work in lives we cannot control. And Christ places bread into our hands and says, "This is my body, given for you." Not because we earned it, or because we understood everything. …But because mercy is who God is. And when we leave this place, we'll go… trusting what Paul finally came to trust: that the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable… and that nothing will ever separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. And because that promise is true, we can live with hope instead of despair, and with hearts that are continually shaped by the mercy we ourselves have received. Amen.

Before Abraham Lincoln could take office, conspirators were already plotting to kill him. From a covert escape through Baltimore to the first cannon blast at Fort Sumter, this episode plunges into the tense, violent opening of the Civil War. Follow Lincoln's election, the collapse of the Union, the chaos of Bull Run, Grant's brutal victory at Shiloh, Lee's invasion of Maryland, and the bloodshed at Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. Along the way, Lincoln confronts failed generals, staggering casualties, and the defining decision to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, transforming the war from a fight to save the Union into a battle for freedom.

In this episode, we discuss the 75th Reunion of the Battle of Gettysburg, held in 1938. 

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single question runs like a thread through everything we talk about here: what are you waiting for? We start with Acts 22 as Paul recounts his calling, his repentance, and the simple, urgent command to obey God, then we pair it with Psalm 1's picture of a life planted by living water. From the first minutes, we're not aiming for vague inspiration. We're aiming for a clear look at how faith in Jesus Christ shows up in real decisions and real priorities.We also bring up a heartbreaking public case involving a missing teen and the broader failure of communities to protect children, using it to press a bigger point about moral courage and leadership. From there, the conversation turns to the closest proving ground most of us face every day: marriage and family. If we can give hours to phones, sports, TV, social media, and endless distractions but claim we have no time for our spouse, our actions speak louder than our words. Love is not a slogan. Love is time, attention, and the willingness to treat what matters to them as something that matters to us.We close with a reminder that courage and conviction are not new in American life, from a Medal of Honor story to reflections on American Christian heritage, including Herbert Hoover's use of Proverbs and Benjamin Rush's argument that the gospel shapes moral sensibility. If you care about biblical literacy, Christian marriage, family values, and the role of Scripture in public life, this one will challenge you and steady you.

The truth about the deadliest day of the Civil War.

A Civil War veteran struggling to survive finds a lost steer and hopes to be rewarded by a trail drive boss but things become complicated.

Arthur Herman characterizes Abraham Lincoln as a founder for his vision of an America without slavery and his willingness to risk the Union to fulfill the Declaration of Independence. His administration's legacy includes the Homestead Act and the Transcontinental Railroad, which expanded the "empire of liberty." Additionally, the Civil War era facilitated the rise of Andrew Carnegie, who later revolutionized the global steel industry using the Bessemerprocess. (11)1800

C Constable reports from France on the high heat and smoke impact near Bordeaux. The discussion shifts to surging energy prices, with Brent crude rising 26% and European gas up 36%. Despite high energy costs, rising copper prices suggest potential industrial growth. (1)Simon Constable and Jim McTague continue with a quiz highlighting that typical data centers use 300,000 gallons of water daily, while larger ones can reach 5 million gallons. Currently, most centers are urban, but 67% of planned facilities are rural. In Lancaster County, a "tale of two data centers" emerges as one town embraces the revenue stream while another resists it due to misinformation and fear. (2)Cliff May argues for maximum pressure and coercive diplomacy to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. He advocates for a naval blockade, specifically targeting oil exports from Kharg Island to strangle the regime's revenue. May emphasizes that the Iranian leadership's ideology makes them likely to use nuclear weapons, necessitating a strategy to cripple the regime's power. (3)John Hardie and Bill Roggio cover the significant leadership change in Ukraine as General Drapatyi replaces General Syrskyi as commander-in-chief. Drapatyi is seen as a representative of a new, western-style generation of officers who embrace technological innovation and listen to subordinates. The transition aims to "desovietize" the military and maintain the momentum of successful drone offensives against Russian infrastructure. (4)Anatol Lieven examines how the Ukraine and Iran conflicts are merging into one global struggle following a Ukrainiandrone strike on an Iranian vessel. This escalation threatens global energy supplies of refined oil products, as Russianrefineries struggle with capacity. While Ukraine targets the Russian middle class to undermine support for the war, Lieven warns of a widening proxy war involving China, North Korea, and Iran. (5)Anatol Lieven turns to Britain's new political era under Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is described as the Labour Party's "last chance" to address a discredited government. Burnham faces immense financial pressure, particularly regarding the costs of healthcare for the elderly and dementia. To succeed, he may need to pivot from "Net Zero" policies to prioritize energy needs and seek a new mandate through an election. (6)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett of MIT explain hierarchical merging, a process where black holes merge repeatedly to create larger "monsters." By analyzing gravitational waves from 155 binary pairs, they discovered that 14% are second-generation black holes, born from previous mergers rather than stellar collapse. These second-generation black holes are characterized by rapid spin and mass asymmetry, providing clues to how supermassive black holes form in galaxies. (7)Salvatore Vitale and Kalin Plunkett continue: to uncover the origins of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, scientists propose building larger gravitational wave detectors scaled up by a factor of ten. These advanced observatories would allow researchers to peer further back into cosmic history, potentially detecting black holes from the very early universe. Expanding the global network to four or five detectors would help pinpoint host galaxies and detect the formation of heavy elements. (8)Arthur Herman recounts the historic 1896 meeting where Henry Ford pitched his internal combustion engine to a skeptical Thomas Edison. Edison's encouragement served as the catalyst for Ford's revolution in American transportation. This industrial transformation was further enabled by John D. Rockefeller, whose ability to lower oil prices made gasoline an economically feasible fuel for mass production. The segment also highlights George Washington's vision for a professional Continental Army. (9)Arthur Herman explains the American founders were heavily influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, particularly the ideas of David Hume and Adam Smith regarding the pursuit of happiness. This subjective right was prioritized over property to potentially allow for the future abolition of slavery. The founding spirit extended to the Northwest Ordinance, creating communities like Marietta, Ohio, that were dedicated to education, religion, and freedom. (10)Arthur Herman characterizes Abraham Lincoln as a founder for his vision of an America without slavery and his willingness to risk the Union to fulfill the Declaration of Independence. His administration's legacy includes the Homestead Act and the Transcontinental Railroad, which expanded the "empire of liberty." Additionally, the Civil War era facilitated the rise of Andrew Carnegie, who later revolutionized the global steel industry using the Bessemerprocess. (11)Arthur Herman reframes the Gilded Age not as an era of greed, but as a period of unprecedented opportunity and connectivity driven by the railroad. James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway fostered regional prosperity and negotiated fairly with Native American tribes. Meanwhile, Thomas Edison's relentless competitiveness and "restless mind" led to the electrification of the nation and the invention of the phonograph, inspiring future generations of founders like Elon Musk. (12)Arthur Herman contrasts Woodrow Wilson's attempt to centrally manage industry during World War I, which resulted in logistical chaos and failure, with FDR's embrace of the private sector for World War II, appointing GM's Bill Knudsento lead mobilization. By relying on the incentives of the marketplace, Knudsen successfully converted American manufacturing into a massive war machine, producing more war material than the world imagined in just 18 months. (13)Arthur Herman presents Martin Luther King Jr. as a founder who refounded the American experiment by taking risks to fulfill the promise of equality. The segment explores the eternal conflict between the bold "founder mindset" and the cautious "manager instinct" that emerged in the 1950s. While managers seek stability and predictability, founders drive innovation and national greatness, preventing the American dream from becoming stagnant and stale. (14)Arthur Herman credits Vannevar Bush's "The Endless Frontier" manifesto with persuading FDR to fund basic scientific research through universities, laying the groundwork for Silicon Valley. This federal support enabled discoveries in information theory and microchip development, transforming the American economy. The evolution from massive mainframes like the IBM 360 to modern microchips illustrates the imaginative leap of founders who see opportunities where others see only current technology. (15)Arthur Herman concludes that today's founders, including Elon Musk and Donald Trump, continue the tradition of taking massive risks to fulfill bold visions. Musk's goals for SpaceX and Mars are described as a step-by-step process of industrial manufacturing and innovation. Central to this enduring success is the Patent Act of 1790, a unique constitutional protection that ensures individuals own the products of their minds, fueling 250 years of American discovery. (16)Corrections applied per the log: John Hardie (transcribed as "Hardy," segment 4) and Labour Party (UK spelling, segment 6). I also dropped the phonetic "(Chopati)" after General Drapatyi in segment 4 — that's Mykhailo Drapatyi, so the first spelling stands. One to confirm for the log: Kalin Plunkett (segments 7–8) — I couldn't verify this MIT researcher's spelling; if it's from audio, it may need checking against the MIT LIGO group roster.

History books and courthouse lawns tell a simple story of the Civil War: blue versus gray, with honor tied strictly to the battlefield. But in Johnston County, the reality was far more complicated. North Carolina led the Confederacy in desertions, driven by a quiet resistance of men who decided "a rich man's war and a poor man's fight" wasn't worth their lives. This episode explores the secret network of the Red Strings and the farmers who stayed behind, daring the Home Guard to find them. Who were the real cowards of the county?

The Chesapeake Bay has claimed thousands of ships, but some believe it has never truly released everyone who sailed its waters.In Part 2 of our journey, we leave Maryland behind and head south into Virginia, where lonely offshore lighthouses have stood watch for more than two centuries. Far from shore, lighthouse keepers endured crushing isolation, violent nor'easters, thick fog, hurricanes, and months cut off from the mainland. Their stories became part of Chesapeake folklore—and according to many witnesses, some of those keepers may still be tending their lights.Join us as we investigate the legends, eyewitness accounts, and unexplained mysteries surrounding some of Virginia's most historic lighthouses.In This EpisodePoint Lookout LighthousePiney Point LighthouseFort Washington LighthouseSmith Point LighthouseWolf Trap LighthouseNew Point Comfort LighthouseThimble Shoal LighthouseOld Point Comfort LighthouseNewport News Middle Ground LighthouseCape Charles LighthouseOld Cape Henry LighthouseFeatured StoriesThe infamous hauntings of Point Lookout Lighthouse and the Civil War prison campThe bizarre "ghost hoe-down" reported in an 1882 newspaperPhantom keepers seen standing watch after automationMysterious lantern lights appearing over the ChesapeakeWatermen's tales of ghostly voices drifting across calm waterThe haunted reputation of America's first federally funded lighthouse at Cape HenryMaritime folklore, shipwrecks, and the enduring mysteries of Virginia's lighthouse coastIf you enjoy history wrapped in mystery, this episode explores the fascinating intersection of documented events, local folklore, and eyewitness paranormal experiences that have surrounded Virginia's lighthouses for generations.

In this episode, Alex breaks down FIFA's investigation into Argentina following the World Cup before examining the much bigger battle unfolding behind the scenes over Gianni Infantino's plan to bring private investment into football's biggest tournaments. He explores why UEFA's unprecedented threat to boycott FIFA competitions could signal a growing political and financial divide between Europe and developing football nations. As the World Cup becomes increasingly commercialized, Alex asks whether FIFA is safeguarding the future of the game—or turning football into just another business.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the nation's experience during COVID was quite horrendous and covering up for the Communist Chinese Wuhan lab—along with the U.S. government funding provided to it— was unacceptable. Sen Tom Cotton first raised the possibility of a lab origin. On Life, Liberty & Levin, Nicholas Wade, a former New York Times science writer who had written a long piece on the subject; as a serious writer from a liberal newspaper who was retired yet deeply concerned about the reporting, Wade's appearance on May 23, 2021, helped push the issue into the national mindset, giving him his first national platform. China has still not provided access to the relevant data. The claim that the virus jumped from bats to humans was always unconvincing. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right today and refused to answer questions before a congressional committee, citing advice from his attorneys. Sen Rand Paul denied the privilege claim, directed Fauci to answer given the existence of a broad pardon, and warned of potential action for obstructing a congressional investigation. But the situation is not clear-cut. This matter may ultimately reach the courts or Supreme Court after a contempt resolution. Afterward, the concept of reparations is preposterous and a deliberate effort by Democrats and the hardcore left to divide Americans. The Civil War ended slavery 161 years ago, that many current residents have no connection to it, and that New York fought for the Union rather than being a slave city.  It's disgusting for Zohran Mamdani, a naturalized Ugandan immigrant, to lecture Americans on our history and claim New York was “very complicit,” while ignoring Uganda's own brutal history under Idi Amin. Later, the Woke Reich isolationists celebrate the president when he scales back military action and enters into negotiations with the enemy but are either silent or lash out against MAGA conservatives who support the president's military action against Iran -- carefully avoiding criticism of the president, who is calling the shots. They do this even though it is crystal clear that negotiations are not working, that the enemy has never honored any deals during its 47-year reign of terror (including recent ceasefires and the MOU), and that the regime's Islamist ideology would, in fact, result in it using nuclear weapons against us (as the president has correctly noted repeatedly). What the Woke Reich isolationists have never explained is what their approach would have been?  Apart from slogans and name-calling, what would they have done? It seems they would have done nothing, meaning that the enemy would have finished developing nuclear weapons, and apparently, they're okay with that despite the enormous risk to our country and humanity generally. Furthermore, while most of them claim to support the president, obviously they oppose him having launched military operations against the Iranian regime. They are not supporting the president.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  About this episode:  In this, the 250th year of American independence, we look back over time's shoulder to revisit the nation only eleven years after its great civil war. From Philadelphia, Washington City and the relatively civilized East Coast to the wilds of the territories, Montana, Dakota and New Mexico, we bring to light issues that dominated then and still linger. Our focus: this country as it struggled to come into its own - struggled to establish its identity. For our 100th episode, we tell the story of our nation's Centennial. This is the story of the United States in 1876.        ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Dwight Moody William Jennings Bryan Horatio Alger, Jr. Pedro II Matilda Joslyn Gage George Armstrong Custer   For Further Reading The Year of the Century, 1876 by Dee Brown   Subscribe to the Threads from the National Tapestry YouTube Channel here   Thank you to our sponsor, Celebrity Word Scramble.

A succession of terrible American presidents in the 1850s, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan, did so much to provoke the U.S. Civil War. Their disastrous policies exacerbated the sin of slavery to lead to the greatest catastrophe in American history.

Growing up with a world-famous uncle whose book transformed American history, Chris Haley spent decades pursuing stage lights and applause before realizing his true calling was waiting inside dusty archives. In this deeply moving conversation, the nephew of Roots author Alex Haley shares how making cold calls to phone book listings led him to face hidden family truths, discover a Civil War ancestor, and direct major archival research at the Maryland State Archives. Listen to learn how confronting your own family's off-limits stories can help you step out of any shadow and build an enduring legacy.〰️

Send us Fan MailFor many people, the story of Black Civil War soldiers ends on the battlefield. But what if some of the most revealing stories happened far from combat, in military camps, prison cells, and court-martial records?In this episode, Kenyatta sits down with historian Dr. Jonathan Lande to discuss his book, Freedom Soldiers. Together, they explore how newly emancipated Black men navigated military service, not simply as soldiers, but as people actively pursuing freedom on their own terms. Jonathan shares how years of archival research uncovered the voices of men whose experiences have long been overlooked, revealing a more complex story of emancipation, military justice, and everyday resistance.Their conversation examines why Jonathan refers to these men as "enlisted freedom seekers," how court-martial records preserve the words of soldiers who were rarely heard elsewhere in the historical record, and what these stories teach us about family, survival, and the unfinished work of freedom during the Civil War.This episode is a powerful reminder that history is shaped by more than famous battles and celebrated heroes. It is also found in overlooked records, where ordinary people fought for dignity, protected their families, and defined freedom for themselves.In this episode:How Jonathan Lande's path from aspiring attorney to Civil War historian shaped his researchWhy films like Glory sparked his early interest in history and how later scholarship challenged those narrativesThe meaning behind the term "enlisted freedom seekers" and why language matters when telling Civil War historyHow military camps, prisons, and court-martial records reveal a different perspective on Black military serviceWhy many formerly enslaved soldiers enlisted to protect their families and secure their own freedom instead of pursuing abstract ideals of citizenshipWhat genealogists and family historians can learn from military court records and compiled service recordsThe remarkable firsthand testimonies preserved in court-martial records, including stories of resistance, resilience, and survivalThe challenges and rewards of uncovering overlooked voices in the archivesJonathan's advice for writers on finishing a manuscript and building a sustainable writing practiceFeatured BookFreedom Soldiers by Dr. Jonathan LandePlease visit Jonathan's website at: Jonathanlande.comConversations with Kenyatta features Kenyatta D.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Paul hears the warnings, sees the grief in his friends, and still says yes to the road ahead. We start with Acts 21 and that gut-level line, “The Lord's will be done,” because it exposes a question we all live with: do we obey God only when it feels safe, or do we follow Jesus when it costs us comfort, reputation, and control?From there we talk about memory and moral formation. When a culture refuses to look at evil, it also refuses to learn from it and becomes easier to deceive. We connect that to why history matters, from 9/11 to the way atrocities like the Holodomor get ignored, softened, or forgotten. If we do not teach our kids what happened, they will grow up repeating the same mistakes with fresh confidence.We also get practical and personal. We read Song of Solomon and talk about marriage, physical intimacy, and what the church often avoids saying out loud. Then we zoom back out to America's Christian heritage, “separation of church and state,” and key Supreme Court cases that pushed prayer and Bible reading out of public schools, plus what we believe it has done to our national life.If this conversation challenges you, share it with someone who cares about faith, family, and the future, then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the show.

In this final chapter of our Civil War series, we once again hear from historians J.D. Huitt, Dr. Brooks Blevins, and Dr. Louis Gallo to trace the final eighteen months of the conflict—from Gettysburg and Vicksburg to Grant's relentless Overland Campaign and Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House. Along the way, host Clay Newcomb examines how Ulysses S. Grant transformed modern warfare through his philosophy of total war, why Abraham Lincoln came to trust him above every other Union general, and how Grant's quiet humility shaped one of the most remarkable victories in American history. We also explore the humanity displayed at Appomattox, the myths surrounding the surrender, and why historians still debate the reasons the Confederacy ultimately failed.

Thaddeus McCotter describes the Michigan Democratic Senate primary as a "civil war" between establishment candidate Haley Stevens and progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. The candidates are sharply divided over AIPAC funding and support for Israel. Stevens is endorsed by high-profile figures like Gretchen Whitmer and Barack Obama. The result will indicate if the Democratic Socialists of America can succeed in a statewide race in a swing state. (15)1690

St. Paul Police Chief Axel Henry is accusing Mayor Kaohly Her of sexual harassment. A spokesperson for the mayor confirmed that an investigation is underway. Henry's attorney says Her sent sexually suggestive text messages to a city employee and sexually harassed multiple members of city staff, including police officers. The mayor's spokesperson says the city will not comment further on an active investigation, and says Her “regrets any unintended impact her actions may have had.”Two summer camps in northern Minnesota are resuming activities as wildfire conditions improve. YMCA's Camp Widjiwagan and Camp du Nord, both near Ely, evacuated campers earlier this month as wildfires burned in and around the Boundary Waters. Camp Widjiwagan plans to reopen Friday for a closing ceremony for campers returning from the Arctic Circle, with more camping trips returning next week. Camp du Nord says it will reopen Sunday while continuing to monitor wildfire activity.Minnesota lawmakers say they're confident a federal judge will allow a new law to take effect that bans technology that can make someone appear naked without their consent. The law would allow people portrayed in AI-generated deepfake images to bring civil lawsuits. Elon Musk's company x.AI has sued to block the law from taking effect Saturday. X.AI argues the law is unconstitutional and could force the company to limit functions on its AI tool.Attorney General Keith Ellison has shut down a nonprofit after an investigation found hundreds of employees were misclassified as volunteers at concession stands in Twin Cities stadiums. Ellison's office says MN Fundraising Initiative was not operated for any charitable cause and instead operated as a staffing agency that saved on labor costs. The investigation found the nonprofit consistently paid workers “grants” in exchange for their labor, which Ellison's office says violates Minnesota law.The town of Wasioja near Rochester is celebrating the restoration of a Civil War recruiting station. Wasioja was home to one of Minnesota's first colleges, and 165 years ago, its students were among the first in the country to enlist in the Union Army during the Civil War. The recruiting station is the last remaining one in the state. The newly preserved buildings are now open to the public.

With house of the dragon season 3 nearing its conclusion, I thought the time was right to explore the real life story behind it! Following the death of King Henry I in 1135, a disputed succession plunged the kingdom into nearly two decades of civil war, shifting alliances, and bitter rivalry between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda. It was a conflict that tested loyalties, reshaped castles and kingdoms, and left contemporaries believing that "Christ and his saints were asleep." To guide me through this remarkable era, I'm delighted to welcome back historian, author, and broadcaster Matt Lewis. Together we'll explore the personalities behind the struggle, separate fact from legend, and discover how this extraordinary conflict paved the way for the rise of the Plantagenets. So, whether you're a medieval history enthusiast or simply love a gripping story of power, betrayal, and survival, stay tuned to find out all about The Anarchy!

Before John Brown became a martyr to some and a monster to others, he made a vow dedicating his life to the destruction of slavery. This episode follows the radical abolitionist through the chaos of Bleeding Kansas, the vicious murders at Pottawatomie Creek, and Brown's foolhardy attack on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry. Meet Frederick Douglass, the former slave who pricked the nation's conscience with his eloquence, and the Secret Six who funded Brown's doomed war on slavery. As Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin stirred the nation, Brown chose violence over words, producing shockwaves that helped move the nation toward Civil War.
