A hiking ban in Nova Scotia is getting lots of attention this summer, from Joe Rogan to former Freedom Convoy supporters. Although the ban has now been lifted for parts of the province, the rules have ignited an international debate about government overreach during fire season. Some Nova Scotians are calling the criticism fearmongering and want outsiders to butt out of the province's affairs. We hear from an emergency management expert who says governments should prepare for more backlash against wildfire rules as the climate changes and summers become potentially more restricted.
The term “culture wars” is most often associated with issues of sexuality, race, religion, and gender. But, as recent months have made plain, when Donald Trump refers to the culture wars, he also means the arts. He fired the board of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which Republicans want to rename for him. His Administration fired the national archivist and the Librarian of Congress, and pressured the director of the National Portrait Gallery to resign; it is reviewing the entire Smithsonian Institution, looking for what the President calls “improper ideology.” Some view these moves as low-hanging fruit for Trump, and a distraction from bad press about Jeffrey Epstein, the Putin meeting, and tariffs. But Adam Gopnik believes that interpretation is a misreading. The loyalty purge at institutions such as the National Portrait Gallery is a key part of his agenda. “Pluralism is the key principle of a democratic culture,” Gopnik tells David Remnick. Could we be following the path of Stalinist Russia, where a head of state dictated reviews of concerts, Remnick asks? “I pray and believe that we are not. But that is certainly the direction in which one inevitably heads when the political boss takes over key cultural institutions, and dictates who's acceptable and who is not.” Gopnik recalls saying after the election that “Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert would be next.” “You would see them disappear,” he added. “Each time, we find a rationale for it or a rationale is offered. And it's much easier for us to swallow the rationale than to face the reality.”

In this powerful episode of 7Sharp, Blu and Roger Moore go deep on the recent storm surrounding Kirk Franklin, gospel authenticity, and the growing confusion between ministry and entertainment. They critique Kirk's "Den of Kings" roundtable, including that controversial moment when Country Wayne claimed “Jesus turned my sins into wins”—and Kirk just let it ride. Is Kirk Franklin still a gospel leader, or has he sold out to secular acceptance? Is today's gospel music glorifying God—or just chasing fame and applause?

This segment celebrates what the hosts view as significant victories in the ongoing culture war, arguing that a shift in power is underway. The central focus is on two key examples: the Cracker Barrel and American Eagle controversies. The host details how the "normal mob"—the term used to describe a growing number of consumers who are pushing back against "woke" corporate agendas—successfully pressured Cracker Barrel to reverse its course, resulting in a stock price recovery. The discussion then turns to American Eagle, which the hosts claim was targeted by the left and media figures for a campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. Despite the backlash, the brand's stock went up, and the host announces that it has now secured a major collaboration with NFL star Travis Kelce. This is framed as a critical turning point, suggesting that corporate "terror" previously wielded by groups like the Human Rights Campaign and influential hedge funds is losing its power. The segment also touches on the political and cultural implications of Taylor Swift's recent engagement to Travis Kelce, humorously suggesting that her decision to get married to a "manly man" could unintentionally make traditional marriage cool again for a younger, largely liberal demographic, further disrupting the left's cultural narrative.
This segment weaves together a series of controversial topics, arguing that recent events are part of a larger, coordinated political and cultural battle. The hosts first explore a perceived pattern of violence linked to transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, suggesting that mainstream media and law enforcement are actively concealing evidence to protect the Democratic Party. They specifically highlight the withholding of toxicology reports and manifestos, arguing that these documents would reveal a connection between cross-sex hormones and psychosis, a claim they base on a Google search and a translated Russian text. The conversation then pivots to the political use of tragedy, accusing Democratic politicians and media figures of using synchronized, pre-written talking points—specifically the phrase "thoughts and prayers are not enough"—to immediately push for gun control. The hosts connect this alleged coordination to a modern-day "Operation Mockingbird," a conspiracy theory that the CIA manipulates the media. This is framed as a long-term strategy to disarm the public, which the hosts warn could lead to a future like Venezuela, where only criminals and the government have guns. Finally, the hosts discuss broader cultural and economic issues, including President Donald Trump's handling of Chinese student visas and trade, and what they see as recent victories in the "culture war," citing a positive financial outcome for the American Eagle brand after a controversial ad. The segment concludes with a critique of the Democratic Party and the celebration of what they view as significant cultural and economic wins against the left.
This segment combines a series of commentaries on political and cultural topics, arguing that conservatives are finally winning the "culture wars" against the left, while simultaneously facing deep-seated threats from within the government. The hosts begin by celebrating what they view as a major cultural victory: Travis Kelce's collaboration with American Eagle. They argue that this partnership, which occurred despite a backlash against the brand from the left, signals a new era where corporate "woke" activism and cancel culture have lost their power. They attribute this shift to a grassroots consumer rebellion, citing a similar outcome with the Cracker Barrel brand. The conversation then abruptly shifts to a series of conspiracy theories regarding the U.S. government. The hosts claim that the Pentagon has been secretly collaborating with China, alleging that the Obama administration approved a program where Chinese nationals were given access to sensitive military cloud data. They also question who at the Pentagon and USAID approved funding for the Wuhan lab, framing it as an act of treason. The segment concludes with a discussion of the CDC director's ousting, portraying her as a "vaccine dictator" who is resisting efforts to end the emergency use authorization for COVID-19 vaccines in order to hide data on their negative side effects. The hosts repeatedly accuse Democratic figures of being controlled by outside interests and working against the American people.
Meghan and Miranda are back at the desk and ready to close out summer with a bang—even if it means Miranda's entering her annual cold-and-flu season (yay, school germs!). They're catching up on the wildest headlines of the week, including: Cracker Barrel's logo drama: The internet revolted, the brand backpedaled, and Trump had thoughts. Taylor Swift gets Trump's blessing: Kind of. He weighs in on Swift and Travis Kelce... with a classic Trump twist. The student double life: A new study says college students are pretending to be more progressive than they are to appease professors and boost their grades. Meghan and Miranda bring in Citizen McCain's College Associate, Russell, to give us the real scoop on campus culture. It's political whiplash, internet chaos, and hot takes galore—post-summer break energy fully activated.
In this engaging podcast episode of The DMZ, Matt Lewis and Bill Scher dive into the cultural and political battles shaping America, from the Cracker Barrel logo controversy to Taylor Swift's engagement and its societal implications. They explore how conservative movements, fueled by figures like Trump, are flexing cultural and political muscle — opposing brand rebrands, pushing traditional values, and even militarizing police. With sharp insights and lively debate, they unpack the motivations behind these culture wars, the risks of authoritarianism, and the economic and social consequences of these divisive strategies.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
William the Conqueror has been dead for nearly a thousand years, and he never set foot in Ireland—so how did he end up at the centre of a modern Irish culture war? With Normandy gearing up for “The Year of the Norman” in 2027, a celebration of William's legacy has sparked fierce debate on this side of the Irish Sea. Should Ireland join in commemorating a figure whose impact here is so fraught and contested? What does this row reveal about how we remember the past, and who gets to decide what's worth celebrating? In this episode, I explore how a medieval king became the unlikely flashpoint for Ireland's latest history debate, and what it tells us about the way we use and sometimes misuse our history today.Want to dive deeper into Ireland's medieval past?

This content focuses on a controversial policy in the Temecula Valley Unified School District in California. The speaker claims the policy requires high school girls to sign a document declaring themselves "mentally ill" in order to receive an accommodation that allows them to avoid changing in front of biological boys who identify as girls. The speaker frames this as a new, radical tactic by "the left" to punish dissent and force compliance. He draws a parallel between this policy and a past incident in Loudoun County, Virginia, where a male student who identified as female was allegedly involved in sexual assault cases. The speaker argues that in both cases, the legal system and school authorities protected the perpetrators while punishing or silencing those who spoke out. The monologue concludes by teasing an upcoming story about Trump's conflict with the EU, suggesting these domestic and local issues are part of a larger, international political and cultural battle.
The transcript details a series of perceived "wins" in the culture war, with a focus on the Cracker Barrel logo controversy. The speaker argues that the company's quick reversal of its rebrand was a victory for "normals" over "woke" groups and investment firms. This win is attributed to the power of social media and a return of free speech, which the speaker claims was previously suppressed by the FBI. The conversation also touches on other culture war issues, including a school district's policy requiring girls to declare a "mental health exemption" to avoid changing in front of boys and a conflict between two protected groups in Canada.
Tara argues that the Cracker Barrel logo reversal is more than just a win for a single brand—it's a powerful signal that the balance of power in the culture war has shifted. The speaker contends that the rapid victory was not a result of political figures weighing in, but rather the collective power of everyday Americans on social media. This event, he says, proves that mainstream media has lost its ability to control the narrative. He also draws a parallel to what he calls the left's historical need for censorship, and he celebrates the newfound freedom of speech as a vital tool for pushing back against what he terms "woke" culture. The speaker sees this as a new, accelerated form of public accountability, one that can make companies reconsider their decisions based on a new fear: that public backlash will hurt their bottom line more than a bad rating from an activist organization.

A stunning report reveals that Democratic voter registration among young men has hit a 100-year low, and among young people overall, it's plummeted from 66% in 2018 to just 48% today. This broadcast examines this "massacre" of the Democratic voter base, arguing that the party's use of baffling, woke terminology is alienating mainstream Americans. The speaker highlights a leaked memo from a Democratic think tank that advises against using words like "birthing person," "cisgender," and "microaggression," a move framed as an admission that the left has lost the culture war. The segment also ties these political shifts to a series of impactful policy changes, including a massive cut to the federal workforce, a sharp decline in remittances to Mexico, and a push to stop counting illegal immigrants in the census for congressional apportionment, all of which are attributed to the Trump administration. It's a look at a political landscape in flux, where changing demographics and shifting cultural norms are reshaping the future of America.

The hosts discuss what they see as a multi-front "war" on the United States. They begin with the fentanyl crisis, which they label an "act of war" by China and drug cartels, and point to U.S. military assets moving off the coasts of Venezuela and Mexico as preparation for a strike. The episode then pivots to recent archaeological discoveries, which the hosts claim reveal that mainstream science and institutions like the Smithsonian have lied about human evolution by omitting the history of interbreeding between modern humans and Neanderthals. The conversation continues with legal and political developments, including a celebration of a federal court ruling that vacated a major fine against Donald Trump. The hosts describe this as a major victory against the Democrats' "lawfare." Finally, they turn to the Cracker Barrel logo change, arguing that the company's "woke" CEO is erasing men and Southern culture, a move that is a part of "cancel culture." The hosts note that the stock has plunged, and they argue that the brand's identity and history are being destroyed
The host celebrates the FBI's pre-dawn raid on John Bolton's home, calling it a historic moment that shows "deep staters" are no longer untouchable. The host alleges that the raid is a strategic move to "flip" Bolton, who supposedly possessed classified documents that proved the "Russia collusion hoax" was a manufactured conspiracy, and who hid them from the Trump administration. The host then shifts to the topic of immigration, expressing astonishment that 55 million foreigners hold U.S. visas. He claims that a significant portion of the country's illegal immigrant population are visa overstays and alleges that past administrations intentionally blocked the creation of a visa exit system. He praises a new initiative to review these visas as a crucial step in a new wave of deportations. Finally, the host analyzes the controversy surrounding the new Cracker Barrel logo. He argues that the company's CEO, whom he characterizes as "woke," caved to "cancel culture" pressure from 2020 by removing the "white guy" and the "Old Country Store" tagline from the logo. The host asserts that this act, which resulted in a $100 million loss in company value, is part of a broader cultural trend to erase men and southern heritage from American life.
The hosts discuss what they see as "Democrat desperation," beginning with a federal judge's order to shut down the "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention facility. They claim the move is a politically motivated effort to prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants who are "future Democrat voters." The hosts also praise Senator Marco Rubio's suspension of truck driving licenses for foreigners, citing a recent fatal accident involving an illegal immigrant driver and arguing that the policy will protect American lives and create jobs for American truckers. The conversation shifts to cultural issues, focusing on Cracker Barrel's stock drop after a logo change. The hosts attribute the company's financial loss to a "woke" CEO who they believe caved to social pressure by removing a white man from the logo, which they frame as an attack on American culture. Finally, the hosts celebrate reports that millions of illegal immigrants are "self-deporting" in response to new government policies and a program offering them a free "exit bonus." They conclude with a personal note expressing concern for Donald Trump's health, urging him to slow down his work pace.
3715 – August 22, 2025 – In the CULTURE WAR – WHICH let's face it, is all about destroying the American way of life… but IN WAR… civil casualties (LIFE) don't matter. We've made it through another busy news week AND things have not slowed down this morning. While I was “putting on my face” and getting ready for work, ... The post In the CULTURE WAR appeared first on CSC Talk Radio.
This comprehensive analysis weaves together several interconnected themes to paint a picture of a nation undergoing a profound shift. It begins with the jarring statistic of a 4.5 million voter swing from the Democratic to the Republican party between 2020 and 2024, a phenomenon the hosts attribute to the rise of free speech on platforms like X. This uncensored flow of information, they argue, is revealing a "woke" corporate and political agenda that is out of touch with mainstream America. The discussion provides examples of this disconnect, including the plummeting stock prices of companies like Target, Bud Light, and Cracker Barrel, which are criticized for prioritizing political correctness over customer satisfaction. It also details a business exodus from California, with companies like Bed Bath & Beyond and In-N-Out Burger citing the state's "unfriendly" business environment and crime as reasons for their departure. The transcript further delves into the immigration debate, highlighting recent federal crackdowns on illegal immigrants with criminal records and the differing policies of state governors. This is framed as a critical component of a broader effort to restore law and order and to protect American citizens and jobs. The hosts conclude by asserting that the "woke" movement cannot survive in a free media environment and that the public is finally seeing the "real" consequences of these policies.
This discussion examines the intersection of corporate culture and business performance, focusing on how companies like Target have been affected. The conversation highlights the role of the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index (CEI) in influencing corporate policies and advertising. It is noted that Target's stock has declined by 64% since 2020. The hosts also draw connections to other companies like Cracker Barrel, In-N-Out Burger, and Bud Light, suggesting a broader trend. The segment also touches on a recent analysis of voter registration data, which showed a shift of 4.5 million voters from the Democratic to the Republican party across 30 states.
Should the voters take their case for covering school lunches for all students to the ballot box with an initiated measure? We discussed the issue on this episode of Plain Talk, and co-host Chad Oban made the case for some populism on this issue. "The legislature has had ample opportunity to pass something that over 70% of North Dakotans support," he said, referring to a North Dakota News Cooperative poll from this spring. "What if school districts start charging parents for books, right? Parents across the state would be up in arms if school districts started charging for books," he continued. "To me, it's a no-brainer today. It was a no-brainer yesterday. It was a no-brainer a year ago." President Donald Trump's early endorsement of Rep. Julie Fedorchak's re-election, which hadn't even been officially announced yet, raised some eyebrows. What drove it? It might have something to do with divisive ."I didn't perceive Julie Fedorchak needing Trump to intervene and try to head off a primary challenge," I argued, but it could be about the North Dakota Republican Party, the leadership of which is now in control of a populist faction that doesn't like traditional Republicans very much. That faction has already censured Gov. Kelly Armstrong twice, and at last cycle's state convention, they had enough clout to deny Fedorchak the endorsement, though she went on to win the primary and the general handily. Trump's early endorsement may have been to "warn off the state party," I contend. North Dakotan Blaize Shiek is a cheerleader for the Minnesota Vikings this year, and not everyone likes it. "This isn't about male cheerleaders. This is about a certain type of male cheerleaders. Ones that are very good dancers and not just holding up the pretty girls," Oban said of the critics. "I don't like it when people take it upon themselves to be gatekeepers and to say we're going to gatekeep football or we're going to gatekeep culture and we're going to say you can only do it our way only the way that we want it," I added. "Being weird in all the different wonderful ways we can be weird is not un-American. That's the most American damn thing in the world. What's un-American is you saying there's only one way to be an American." We also discussed North Dakota Health and Human Services Commissioner Pat Traynor's alarmist comments about cell phones, and state Rep. Emily O'Brien's decision to step down and take a job as deputy commissioner in that same department. If you want to participate in Plain Talk, just give us a call or text at 701-587-3141.

Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday
This episode explores several key political and social topics. The host discusses the ongoing controversy in Loudoun County, Virginia, focusing on a specific school board incident and the legal and political fallout, including a recent case involving students and school policy. The conversation then shifts to national issues, analyzing recent polling data on the economy and voter registration trends. The episode also touches on new developments in the investigation into past political scandals and the impact of federal intervention on crime rates in Washington, D.C.

A beloved squirrel named Peanut, a raid by New York environmental officers, and a maelstrom of online outrage. What began as a wildlife seizure turned into a viral flashpoint in the culture wars, with fallout for innocent bystanders, overwhelmed state agencies, and the enforcement of environmental law. WNYC's Jon Campbell unravels the saga from internet stardom to state intervention, revealing a story of mistaken identity, government overreach, and the power of online fury in an election year.
John welcomes USA Today sports columnist Christine Brennan to discuss her runaway bestseller “On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women's Sports.” Brennan lays out the formative experiences that turned Clark into a national sensation; the WNBA's lack of preparation to capitalize on the surge in popularity, income and impact that her arrival has unleashed; the troubling outbreaks of jealousy and resentment sparked by a white player becoming the face of a predominantly Black league; and how the Clark saga has been appropriated by both sides in America's culture wars.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're taking a hard look at Taylor Swift's new pornographic-themed album cover, The Life of a Showgirl. From the drinking and partying she parades as normal to her descent into porn culture, Swift has become a dangerous influence on young girls—and really, on everyone. We'll also address the cult-like following surrounding her, and why parents have a biblical responsibility to guard their children from this idolatry and from being exposed to Taylor Swift's sinful pornographic example. Darkness must be exposed, and the Word of God gives us the standard by which to measure it. We will also discuss how disgusting it is to excuse sin by simply labeling it “adult entertainment.” Unfriendly reminder: Civilization is currently collapsing. Let's actually do something about it?--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/

Well, I seem to always be inspired by the person who is considered marginal. Firstly, their spirit of survival, their resilience, their lack of self-pity, the ability usually to laugh in the face of having nothing and to create a kind of sense of flamboyance and life at any cost, despite having you know no resources of any kind that are visible. That's what inspires me and I think in making portraits of the so-called outsiders, I'm also then allowed to question what is that society that deems us an outsider? — Mira Nair on BBC “Masterpiece”, 11/29/04 When official America speaks of good and bad Muslims, we must not think that they are speaking of the attitude of Muslims to Islam. They are actually talking about the attitude of Muslims to the U.S. A good Muslim is simply a pro-American Muslim and a bad Muslim is simply an anti-American Muslim. This is not about Islam, it is about America. — Mahmoud Mamdani, C-Span's Book TV series, hosted by the University of Michigan on April 15, 2005.

Tom and co-host Drew dive deep into the week's most explosive headlines—from Trump's bold moves on the global stage, including nuclear posturing and ultimatums to Russia, to Senator Warren's controversial takes on taxing the rich and the very real repercussions that could have on cities like New York. The conversation pulls no punches, breaking down what happens if billionaires flee, what's truly driving skyrocketing unaffordability, and the alarming collapse of the middle class as shown by a viral marriage-and-homeownership chart. But we don't stop there. You'll hear Tom and Drew tackle wild policy proposals, like calls to abolish the family from the Democratic Socialists of America, and why the culture-versus-politics debate may be the most crucial fight of our era. From threats to free speech in the UK and EU to the chilling implications of mass surveillance, the episode unpacks how global powers manipulate narratives—and why Americans can't take core freedoms for granted. Turning to technology, Tom and Drew geek out on the jaw-dropping pace of AI advancements—from Google's AI-generated 3D worlds to 11Labs' game-changing music tools—and wrestle with the looming asteroid of automation: millions of jobs on the line, and an urgent call for everyone to understand assets and self-reliance.

Picking up where they left off, Tom and Dave tackle the hard realities of economic instability, debt spirals, and the perilous connection between populist narrative battles and actual policy. The duo examine what's at stake as America approaches its 250th anniversary, questioning what national values and stories we ought to anchor in—and how those can overcome destructive polarization and utopian fantasies. The conversation doesn't shy away from hard truths—touching on everything from the psychological underpinnings of envy, the impact of socialism, to the existential rivalry between the US and China. Dave opens up about personal responsibility, localism vs. federal overreach, and the urgent need for optimism and grounded action in tumultuous times. To close, Dave shares insights into his off-the-grid ritual and previews his groundbreaking experiment with AI as a stand-in host.

Known for his sharp insights on media, identity, and the shape of the American conversation, Dave joins Joe just as he's about to head "off the grid" for a month-long digital detox—making this one of his final interviews before a complete unplug. Together, Tom and Dave dive into the rise of the "woke right," the evolution of right-wing populism, and the complex dynamics fueling extremism on both sides of the aisle. The conversation covers everything from cultural hysteria and the economics behind fear-driven media, to the real-world implications of identity politics and anti-Semitism. They debate narrative control in American society, the comparison of current media figures, and speculate on the deeper economic forces that are shaping today's political climate. If you want a candid look behind the headlines—filled with both black pills and white pills—this episode pulls no punches on what's at stake.
