This second episode on the Calvary Maiden takes you through some of the formative years of the author, Nadezhda Durova. Durova wrote briefly of her years growing up then focused on her time dressing as a man and serving for 10 years as a low-level officer in the Czar's army, starting around 1806.Her journals were source material for Tolstoy as to the lives of those who served in the period War & Peace is set, 1805-1812.  It is presented to give you a glimpse into those frequently nameless and overlooked, who often gave their lives in the Napoleonic conflicts.Durova's story brings up still-relevant issues of identify, in terms how some who grew up in modern-day Ukraine or partitioned Poland, had different ties, (some to Polish nobility, others to Cossacks, some to Turks, others to runaway serfs), identified themselves.  A number, like Durova, graciously accepted a life of service to the Czar. Others, like the former serf, Taras Shevchenko, or the Polish Diplomat, Adam Czartoryski, advanced the idea of nationhood and identity separate from Russian domination.This episode is a brief overview of Durova's experience from when she was 4 months-old, when she begins to articulate the ever-present animosity with her mother. This is illustrated with Durova being thrown out of a moving carriage upon her mother became frustrated while nursing. Her father then gave her to the primary care of one of his male servants, who Durova clung to at the sight of her mother.  For her first four years of life, Durova's family remained on the road, in military service, where she was affected by hussars shouting, drilling and riding their horses. This lifestyle attracted her. Her Muscovite father recognized life with a growing family mandated a different position and traveled to Moscow in search of same.  It was at that time that Durova and her mother returned to her parents' home near the Poltova region in Ukraine. She spent time on the property marching, making forts, and pretending to be in hussar service.  Her maternal grandparents, who initially rejected their Ukrainian daughter marrying a Muscovite, reconciled with the situation. Durova's father eventually received a commission to become a district mayor in Sarapul, near the Kama River in the foothills of the Ural Mountains. She spent the better part of a decade in this colder climate. She would often run away and explore nearby forests and rivers. Her father accepted her adventurous inclinations and gifted her horse, Alcides, who remained with Durova well into her military service. Durova would often wake up at the crack-of-dawn and take Alcides for a liberating run, with servants becoming accustomed to this unusual dynamic.  This frustrated her mother to no end. However, her kind father and the rest of the family got a kick out of Durova's precociousness. She remained in Sarapul until her mother grew tired of her presence and encouraged sending her back to Ukraine to live with her grandmother.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/21/2025): 3:05pm- Jake Tapper's new book, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” which is critical of the Biden Administration for covering up the president's physical and cognitive decline is due to be released later this week. While Tapper is now reporting on internal stories about Biden's health decline, why did he ignore the story prior to Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election? Notably, during an interview with Lara Trump, Tapper vociferously denied Joe Biden was experiencing any sort of cognitive decline and suggested that people were merely picking on the then-president for suffering from a life-long stutter. 3:30pm- Tom Homan—Trump Administration Border Czar—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss how the Big Beautiful Bill Act will benefit border security and fulfill President Donald Trump's campaign pledge to stifle illegal border crossings. He explains: “We have the most secure border in the most history of the country, but we need to finish it. We need to make it permanent!” 4:05pm- On Wednesday, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa joined President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. During the meeting, Trump confronted Ramaphosa with video clips and news articles documenting instances of genocide against white South African farmers. Ramaphosa denied the allegations, but Trump continued to pushback with evidence: "You do allow them to take land. And then when they take the land, they kill the white farmer—and when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them." 4:15pm- In response to the Oval Office confrontation between President Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, many media outlets ignored Trump's claims of an unfolding genocide—with CNN even accusing Trump of “ambushing” the South African president. 4:40pm- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump welcomed the NCAA Men's Basketball Champion Florida Gators to the White House. 4:50pm- While appearing on CNN, “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again” co-author Alex Thompson discussed a particularly disturbing report documented in his new book. Thompson explained that the 2024 Biden campaign spent millions of dollars on producing a fake town hall—but then couldn't use the content because Joe Biden's performance was so poor. 5:05pm- Susan Crabtree—RealClearPolitics National Political Correspondent & Author of the book, “Fools Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealing that there is no evidence suggesting a larger conspiracy surrounding the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. But why are there still so many unanswered questions? 5:40pm- Brand Manager Greg Stocker joins the show, John Cena's apology to China was so awkward and hilarious that we must play it again—four-years later, and how do you pronounce “Ingraham”? 6:05pm- Rich is joined in studio by… Nick Kayal, Dawn Stensland, and Greg Stocker! Don't they have a show to do in 12-hours? 6:10pm- Democrat political strategist James Carville baselessly claimed that Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba only charged Rep. LaMonica McIver with assault of an ICE agent outside of Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ because of her skin color. Carville argued: “I don't have any proof…but I think if it was a white congressperson, they would not have arrested her.” 6:15pm- Now Dom Giordano is in studio! What did he think of last night's NJ Republican Gubernatorial Primary? And will the One Big Beautiful Bill Act be passed? Plus is it sauce or gravy? 6:30pm- During a Wednesday Senate hearing, Secretary of State Marco Rubio destroyed progressive Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal during a debate over the revocation ...

Tolstoy addresses the over-confidence of Napoleon's adversaries prior to the battle of Austerlitz, when Kutuzov's forces and the Austrians reached their limit of no further retreat, winding up near Olmütz. Here, Emperors Alexandr & Francis would review their troops that numbered around 80,000 (both seasoned and reinforcements) before a 40-mile march south to fight the French, who had around 50,000 soldiers near Brünn.    Napoleon's supply lines were extended after traveling so far into the Holy Roman Empire and Kutuzov is historically thought to have been reticent to engage Napoleon as he thought it better to draw the French further east and wait for Prussia to align against Napoleon.  Yet he recognized with two Emperors meeting face-to-face and the French occupying Vienna, there was a compelling reason to fight. He also recognized Alexandr wanted to be the first Czar since Peter I to lead a battle of such magnitude.  Moreover, the recent skirmishes created a consensus, this would be where Napoleon's magnificent run ended. We are brought to the morning of the review. From the crack of dawn, there was preparation, with throngs of men moving and halting upon command. Groups turned with banners and wheeled around each other. Prominent was the rhythmic beating of hooves and drums while calvary soldiers were carried on their steeds.  From the artillery wagons, polished cannons and guns glimmered. Every soldier was shaved, with weapons clean and polished and generals strutted in their fancy parade uniforms.  Even the horses were groomed to the point their coats shined like satin. This Review bordered on the sacred. The men held inner feelings of insignificance before Majesty but were also conscious of their strength as a part of an enormous tempest. By 10:00 a.m., the army was extended in three lines: cavalry in front, then artillery, and in the third row - infantry.  All were ready to greet Alexandr and Francis. Soon enough, ran an excited whisper, “They're coming!” Joy swept over the troops as hundreds of riders guarding the leaders moved closer as trumpets heralded.  At the head where the two Emperors.   Alexander's youthful but majestic voice was heard. Those nearby roared “Hurrah!” so deafeningly that the men were awed by their own power. Rostov was in that throng and experienced what all others had: self-forgetfulness, a proud consciousness of might and devotion.  He knew a single word from him would lead all to go through fire and and perform deeds of the highest heroism.   “Hurrah! continued to thunder. Rostov was near the trumpeters and recognized the Tsar. He  could distinguish every detail of his face. Alexandr's every movement was enchanting. The Tsar said something in French to Francis. Every sound from him was a gift from heaven. Rostov felt the most powerful flow of love for his sovereign, which he longed to demonstrate and considered, “if the Emperor would speak to me, I would die of happiness.”  The Tsar addressed the officers: “I thank you all, gentlemen, I thank you with my whole heart.”  When Alexandr moved down the line, he was  accompanied by a sea of high-level aides.  Rostov noticed Bolkonsky among them.   When thinking of their recent quarrel, Rostov realized Andrei was correct to suggest the matter be dropped. Such a disagreement was “not even worth thinking of at such a moment! At a time of such love, rapture and such self-sacrifice. What do any such affronts matter?  For, I love and forgive everybody!”     When the troops saw their Emperors, they instantly felt they could lay down their lives.  It a phenomena that exists through the ages and Tolstoy gets you to question such devotion. After some time, select soldiers began a ceremonial march past Alexandr, including Rostov, a who was a fine horseman. He rode Bedouin, recently purchased from Denísov and it seemed the animal knew he was in the presence of royalty. “Fine fellows, those Pavlograds!” commented the Emperor.    When it was over, the soldiers collected in groups and began to talk. All discussion soon turned to Bonaparte and how he would be vanquished, especially if reinforcements came from Prussia.  Soon enough the conversation in every group centered on Emperor Alexandr.  His every word and movement was described with ecstasy. They all had one wish: to advance as soon as possible! All felt they could not fail.

The conversation centers around U.S. immigration policy, border security, and the actions taken under the Trump administration compared to the Biden administration. Key topics include: Border Security Achievements: Homan claims that under President Trump’s renewed leadership, the U.S. now has the most secure border in its history, citing dramatic reductions in illegal crossings and "gotaways." Policy Changes: The discussion emphasizes the impact of executive orders, ending "catch and release," and enforcing detention laws as major factors in reducing illegal immigration. Criticism of the Biden Administration: The hosts and guest heavily criticize President Biden and former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, accusing them of deliberately undermining border security and enabling criminal activity. Sanctuary Cities: Homan discusses the dangers of sanctuary city policies, arguing they protect criminals and hinder ICE operations. Human Trafficking and Fentanyl: The episode highlights the humanitarian and public safety crises tied to open borders, including child trafficking and fentanyl smuggling. Calls for Accountability: There are calls for legal consequences for officials like Mayorkas, and praise for law enforcement and border agents. International Implications: The conversation touches on the role of Mexican drug cartels and the potential for U.S. military intervention to dismantle them.

Mary Lou McDonald, Sinn Féin leader, discusses the development that NAMA chief Brendan McDonagh said he no longer wishes to be considered for the role of CEO of the Government's new Housing Activation Office.

A few months ago, mega-star and Czar of the Americana Empire Jason Isbell announced on social media that he was sorry to push back a few dates at large venues across the country to attend his daughter's school play. In this episode, we discuss whether modern families — especially fathers navigating shifting expectations across their various responsibilities — achieve balance or if we should even try to achieve it.In honor of this topic, we discuss work-life balance, the low bar dads have to live up to as parents and some Donnie and Dave's favorite Isbell songs.Donnie also tries to convince Dave it's time to get a cowboy hat. Show Notes02:26: Work-Life Balance: Before discussing Isbell's decision, the guys talk about the term “work-life balance” and whether it has a place in modern family life. They touch on how this may apply to primary, stay-at-home parents and those who work completely remotely. Dave also sneaks in that he is a rocket scientist. 08:47: What does balance look like now? Dave and Donnie touch on what kind of balance is prevalent today in a post-pandemic work, school and family environment. 11:58: Initial reactions to the Isbell news: Dave admits he was very uncomfortable about the news from Isbell -- well more about the news about the news of Isbell's announcement. 17:36: Responsibilities of a Public Figure and the Low Bar for Dads: The guys touch on the similarities to the Eric Church Final Four show cancellations and how the “family first” argument is sort of a copout which leaves the bar incredibly low for dads. This gives Dave a little bit of the ick. 31:02: There's No Easy Right or Wrong Answer for Dads: Is Isbell's situation so much different than the guys that they can't understand his decision? Or is it that there is no easy, straightforward answer when dealing with these issues? It's getting Meta on this podcast. 33:12: The Dad Life Sound Check: In honor of talking all about him for more than a half an hour, the guys talk about their favorite Isbell songs for the Dad Life Sound Check.40:41: Change My Mind-- Dave Can't Pull Off a Cowboy Hat: Dave asks Donnie to change his mind about why he, too, can wear a cowboy hat.

President Biden's “Disinformation Czar” called the U.S. an “autocracy,” pleading with the European Union to oppose the Trump Administration. Nina Jankowicz, former Czar of Biden's “Disinformation Governance Board,” strongly criticized Secretary of State Marco Rubio for shrinking the State Department and President Trump's foreign policy with Russia and Ukraine.

Fyodor Dostoevsky was facing a firing squad. He quietly counted the last moments of his life. Dostoevsky, a believer in Jesus, is considered one of the greatest writers in all of literature. His monumental novel, The Brothers Karamazov, explored themes about God, life, and death. It was said of Dostoevsky, “He spoke about Christ ecstatically.” The rifles raised. “Ready! . . . Aim . . .” Jesus, alluding to His own execution, speaks to His disciples and to us of the eternal value of life and death when He said, “The hour has come” (John 12:23). The image is a seed (our life), which produces a great harvest through its own sacrifice (v. 24). Jesus tells us not to love this life too much, for it is those who are willing to sacrifice this present life who will find “eternal life” (v. 25). These are hard words—we cherish our life on earth. But Jesus is saying that being His disciple requires sacrifice. We’re counseled to hold life loosely, to embrace the joy of the life to come, and to find our hope in His words, “My Father will honor the one who serves me” (v. 26). Fyodor looked death in the face. But a letter from the Czar was delivered at the last second. A reprieve. Dostoevsky’s life was spared, yet this experience would infuse all of his later works. Indeed, the epigraph of The Brothers Karamazov is this verse, John 12:24: “Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”

The federal judge overseeing the case of a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador said she would allow for expedited fact-finding to help her figure out whether the Trump administration is complying with her order that it “facilitate” his return from one of the country's notorious mega-prisons.
