The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Not only are we remembering the men and women who have performed this ultimate act, we are also remembering the idea for which they fought. This idea was first presented to us by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, which states that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – Declaration of Independence You may be wondering, why am I quoting the Declaration of Independence for a holiday other than Independence Day? Because, one of our nation's most important holidays is often treated as nothing more than the beginning of summer. That does a disservice to all who have sacrificed so much for the government to secure our rights.
We commemorate the brave sacrifices of our fallen soldiers because they gave their last full measure of devotion for our country and liberty. Learn how Memorial Day started as a tribute to fallen Union soldiers in the Civil War. It started through many local efforts and became a national, uniform celebration with the leadership of General Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic.Explore how over time, Memorial Day was the setting for brilliant speeches and commemorations, and changed to include all war dead during World War I.Review how more recently, a 1 minute silent Moment of Remembrance has been added to Memorial Day, which occurs at 3:00 pm local time.The future of our country and freedom rests with us to carry on their supreme sacrifices, and to failure to remember that could lead to our doom.Highlights include statistics about America's war dead, Pericles, Thucydides, Abraham Lincoln, the Gettysburg Address, David Wills, Edward Everett, Patriot Week, Leah Warren, Arlington National Cemetary, Major General John Logan, the Grand Army of the Republic, Logan's General Order No. 11, President James Garfield, Frederick Douglass, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Decoration Day, John McCrae, We Shall Not Sleep, a/k/a In Flanders Fields, Mania Michael, Ladies Home Journal, Armistice Day, veterans Day, Uniform Monday Holiday Act, National Moment of Remembrance Act, Carmella LaSpanda, President Bill Clinton, and many others.To learn more about America & Patriot Week, visit www.PatriotWeek.org.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the core difference between conservatives and the modern left lies in their view of the Declaration of Independence, which is a unique, revolutionary document grounded in eternal truths and God-given unalienable rights. The concept of power, as outlined in the Declaration of Independence, is central to the founding of the United States, uniquely vesting sovereignty in the people rather than the government. This power establishes individuals and society—"we the people"—as the ultimate sovereign authority. The nation's structure requires the consent of the governed while protecting individual rights. The left fundamentally rejects the foundational principles of the United States, particularly those rooted in Judeo-Christian values and the Declaration of Independence. Woodrow Wilson was a key figure who dismissed the Declaration's emphasis on unalienable rights, natural law, and divine sovereignty, viewing them as outdated and mystical. This rejection contrasts sharply with the founders' vision of individual and collective sovereignty, which Democrats oppose in favor of a more progressive, secular framework. Later, Douglas Murray calls in to explain that the recent killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., reflects how anti-Israel propaganda, fueled by groups like Qatar and the Iranian Revolutionary Government, is inciting Americans to commit antisemitic violence. This incident is part of a broader wave of antisemitism driven by false narratives about Israel's actions in Gaza, leading to increased violence against Jews. Also, why are federal judges are involved in decisions regarding federal funding for colleges and universities, national security, and immigration policies, which should be handled by the president and the administration. Judges should dismiss such cases, explaining that they lack jurisdiction. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, AG Letitia James essentially just confessed to mortgage fraud. She said she made a mistake by putting Virginia down as her residence, but she's a liar. Year after year, she took the deduction because it was a mistake? In contrast, President Donald Trump followed legal protocols, paid taxes on time, and had verified property values, with Mar-A-Lago worth nearly $1 billion, not $18 million, and still, authorities denied him due process. Also, ESPN analyst Ryan Clark dismissed Robert Griffin III's opinions on the Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese WNBA rivalry, citing Griffin's marriage to a white woman as a reason he lacks perspective on issues faced by black women in the league. Clark argued that Griffin's personal life limits his understanding of racial dynamics surrounding Clark's popularity, while also suggesting both players should be celebrated without pitting them against each other. This is disgusting. Afterward, in the chapter "On Rights" from “On Power, individual and human rights, liberty, and equality predate and do not originate from governments, as underscored by the Declaration of Independence. This principle, rooted in the belief that rights are God-given through natural law, distinguishes the U.S. from regimes like Qatar, communist China, Islamists, communists, fascists, and autocrats, as well as domestic democratic socialists. The Declaration of Independence, along with the Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts Declarations of Rights, reflects the consensus among American founders that these rights are unalienable, not granted or revocable by governments. Governments are instituted to secure these rights, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Later, Stephen A Smith calls in to discuss politics and sports. The Democratic Party marginalizes moderates, but they shouldn't be able to dictate who joins the party. The last person the Democrat voters chose was Barack Obama - outside that, the party chose the Presidential nominees, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Contrast that with the Republican Party, where the voters chose Trump in 2016. They didn't let the party pick their candidates. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Professor French Tells What Gen Z Can Teach All of Us! What happens when one of America's top legal minds steps back into the classroom—only to be schooled by Gen Z? New York Times columnist and Good Faith contributor David French joins Curtis Chang to reflect on what a year of teaching college students taught him about faith, over-parenting, and the future of American democracy. Together, they explore whether this rising generation is rejecting political tribalism in favor of ethical engagement—or simply afraid to speak up in polarized times. Could Gen Z's quiet shift reshape our fractured public square?

Eating crickets and meat grown in a lab with cancer-like cells - WHO APPROVED THAT?! Scott Tips, president of the National Health Federation (NHF) and internationally recognized health freedom attorney, joins host, Jamie Belz, to help us understand the deeper mechanisms of Codex Alimentarius, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the global regulatory web that threatens access to nutrient-dense food, natural health remedies, and therapeutic supplements. As the only health-freedom organization with official INGO (International Non-Governmental Organization) status at Codex, NHF is uniquely positioned to stand up for the public's right to safe, informed, and autonomous healthcare choices on the global stage. Over the last 70 years, NHF has defended medical choice and challenged the federal government's overreach into nutrition, supplementation, and holistic healing. Some quick topics/snippets from this episode: Codex creates international food law—affecting everything from vitamin dosage limits to whether or not your meat contains drug residues. Most people don't even know Codex exists. And yet, decisions made there determine what shows up in your grocery cart, your supplement bottle, and your child's plate. The U.S. can now force genetically modified foods into countries that don't want them — not through diplomacy, but through international tribunals using Codex standards as their weapon. Ractopamine is a drug with zero therapeutic value. It makes animals fatter, faster — but it's banned in the EU, China, and Russia. In the U.S., you're probably eating it. When you hear ‘scientific consensus,' be cautious. The phrase is used to bulldoze public concern. You can be banned for calling out corruption at Codex. At CODEX, NHF is the only one defending your right to natural health freedom. The EU, Russia, even Iran — they've stood up for consumer safety at Codex more than the U.S. delegates have. The scary thing isn't just what the FDA is doing. It's how many people still trust them, blindly — even when their actions have harmed more people than every U.S. war combined. We need advocacy from the ground up. Most parents feeding their kids toxic food don't even know it — because the truth has been buried. “Frankenmeat”, insect protein, and natural flavoring cover-ups, all of which bypass transparent labeling laws while being quietly introduced into the food supply. They're trying to outlaw homeopathy—while promoting lab-grown meat and insect protein as sustainable alternatives. We don't want to be right. We want to get it right. “Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship… To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic.” - Dr. Benjamin Rush, Declaration of Independence signator and Surgeon General of the Continental Army "If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls of those who live under tyranny.” - Thomas Jefferson TAKE ACTION: Join the National Health Federation for only $45/year to support international advocacy at Codex and receive the quarterly NHF magazine. This low-cost membership helps fund independent watchdog efforts that no other organization is legally authorized to perform at the global level.

As government and corporate interests grow more entangled, grassroots advocacy is no longer optional. It's essential.

If you were to ask most people what year they associate with the American Revolution, it would be 1776. That was the year that the Continental Congress declared Independence. However, 1776 wasn't the start of the revolution, nor was it the end of the revolution. In fact, if it hadn't been for the Declaration of Independence, it would have gone down as a pretty horrible year for the revolution. For my money, the most interesting year of the revolution was actually the first year, 1775.

As the American Revolution broke out in New England in the spring of 1775, dramatic events unfolded in Virginia that proved every bit as decisive as the battles of Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill in uniting the colonies against Britain. Virginia, the largest, wealthiest, and most populous province in British North America, was led by Lord Dunmore, who counted George Washington as his close friend. But the Scottish earl lacked troops, so when patriots imperiled the capital of Williamsburg, he threatened to free and arm enslaved Africans—two of every five Virginians—to fight for the Crown. Virginia’s tobacco elite was reluctant to go to war with Britain but outraged at this threat to their human property. Dunmore fled the capital to build a stronghold in the colony’s largest city, the port of Norfolk. As enslaved people flocked to his camp, skirmishes broke out. “Lord Dunmore has commenced hostilities in Virginia,” wrote Thomas Jefferson. “It has raised our countrymen into a perfect frenzy.” With a patriot army marching on Norfolk, the royal governor freed those enslaved and sent them into battle against their former owners. In retribution, and with Jefferson’s encouragement, furious rebels burned Norfolk to the ground on January 1, 1776, blaming the crime on Dunmore. The port’s destruction and Dunmore’s emancipation prompted Virginia’s patriot leaders to urge the Continental Congress to split from Britain, breaking the deadlock among the colonies and leading to adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Days later, Dunmore and his Black allies withdrew from Virginia, but the legacy of their fight would lead, ultimately, to Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. Chronicling these stunning and widely overlooked events in full for the first time is today’s guest, Andrew Lawler, author of A Perfect Frenzy: A Royal Governor, His Black Allies, and the Crisis that Spurred the American Revolution. He offers a new perspective on the American Revolution that reorients our understanding of its causes, highlights the radically different motivations between patriots in the North and South.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part 1 Novus Ordo Seclorum by Forrest Mcdonald Summary"Novus Ordo Seclorum" is a comprehensive study by Forrest McDonald that delves into the philosophical and historical underpinnings of American democracy, particularly focusing on the influences of Enlightenment thought and the Founding Fathers. The title itself, which translates to "New Order of the Ages," reflects the ambition of the American Revolution to create a new system of governance that deviated from the traditional monarchic and authoritarian structures prevalent in Europe. Key Themes and Ideas:Influence of Enlightenment Philosophy: McDonald highlights how the Enlightenment era introduced ideas of liberty, republicanism, and individual rights, significantly influencing the American Founding Fathers. The text examines how this philosophical backdrop shaped the core documents and principles of American governance, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.Federalism and Constitutional Design: The book discusses the delicate balance the Founding Fathers sought to achieve between federal and state powers. McDonald analyzes the debates surrounding the creation of the Constitution and how the checks and balances were intended to prevent tyranny and ensure the protection of individual freedoms.The Role of History and Ideology: McDonald places American history within a broader ideological context, arguing that the unique American system cannot be fully understood without recognizing its historical roots. He serves up a narrative that illustrates how previous political theories—especially those of European origin—were adapted and reinterpreted in the American setting.The Evolution of the American Government: The text also covers the evolution of American democracy, exploring how the principles laid out by the Founding Fathers have been challenged and reinterpreted over time. McDonald reflects on the legacy of those original ideas and how they resonate in contemporary political discussions.Critique of Modern Democracy: In his critique of modern iterations of democracy, McDonald argues that while the original design was revolutionary, it has been distorted by various political trends and pressures. He emphasizes the need for a return to foundational principles to revitalize American democracy. Conclusion:"Novus Ordo Seclorum" offers a thorough historical examination of the American democratic system, emphasizing the philosophy behind its creation and its ongoing significance. McDonald presents a narrative that is both scholarly and accessible, aimed at a readership interested in understanding the complexities of American governance and its philosophical foundations.Part 2 Novus Ordo Seclorum AuthorForrest McDonald is a notable American historian, particularly known for his work on the American Founding and the history of political thought in the United States. His book "Novus Ordo Seclorum: The Intellectual Origins of the Constitution" was published in 1985. This work delves into the philosophical and historical roots of the U.S. Constitution, exploring the influences of various Enlightenment thinkers on the Founding Fathers. Other Notable Works by Forrest McDonald:"The American Presidency: An Intellectual History" (1993) A comprehensive examination of the evolution of the presidency and its role in American democracy."We the People: The Economic Origins of the Constitution" (1958) This book discusses the economic factors that influenced the drafting and ratification of the Constitution."A Constitutional History of the United States" (1982) A detailed account of the development of constitutional law and government in the U.S."The Founding of New England: The Puritan Theocracy in Its First Generation" (1936) Examines the establishment of New England colonies and their...
Clay and frequent guest Lindsay Chervinsky discuss the American Revolution in a “live” podcast recording in Vail, Colorado. Was George Washington a great military strategist? How vital was Jefferson's Declaration of Independence when it was written? Why weren't women incorporated as full citizens — as Abigail Adams suggested — when America re-constituted itself in the 1770s and 1780s? Was what happened in those dramatic years a true revolution — or merely a separation from the mother country England? How important was Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common Sense? This program was the first time Clay and Lindsay had met in person and one of the few live audience recordings of Listening to America. This podcast was recorded live on March 27, 2025.

Humans have limited understanding of our world and the world beyond; not that we're unintelligent—far from it. The Bible makes it clear that God gave man a sound mind, and from the beginning, people were capable of accomplishing amazing things. The construction of the great pyramids, modern scientific advances, and our knowledge of the cosmos is a testament to how much humans can know and achieve. We're even capable of presenting truth in various ways through art, teaching, and moral agendas, but man's abilities are finite. There is One, though, that claims all truth: the person Jesus Christ. John 1:17 says, “For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” In other words, man has been capable over time of building structure and order in society. Around the time of Moses and the 10 Commandments and the laws that govern the Israelites, other cultures were doing somewhat similar things. The Code of Hammurabi, a set of Babylonian laws, helped create a functioning society, and in 1254, the Magna Carta, a set of English laws that was the forerunner of the Declaration of Independence, brought England out of the Dark ages. Yet the Bible is very clear that ultimate truth, the sum of all reality, is found only in Jesus Christ. It is in Him that we unlock the mystery of who we are as individuals. He knows each of us, and invites us into relationship with him. People all over the world follow their own set of rules. It's often said that truth is true if it's true for you, meaning of course that each of us has the right to follow his or her own reasoning. For example, to a person who frees himself from moral constraints, love can mean many things. In 2 John 1:6 we read, “And this is love, that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you've heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.” Do you see the difference? We can tell ourselves anything; that love, for example, can have many definitions, but God tells us in His Word that true love is being obedient to our Creator. In the end, the world is full of philosophies and opinions of men. Some see truth differently, but only in the Bible do we find true truth. For Jesus Christ is the ultimate truth. Let's pray. Father God, the world can be a dangerous place. Help us to continue relying on you and as our ultimate source of truth so that we can make the best for us and our families. Your Word is our guide, Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

“I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him. I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God’s way of making us right with himself depends on faith.” (Philippians 3:7–9 NLT) In testimonies, Christians often talk about what they gave up to follow Jesus Christ. But what do we really give up? Some people give up addiction to drugs or alcohol. For most people, they give up a sense of guilt, emptiness, loneliness, and the ever-present fear of death. So it would be pretty easy for them to agree with the apostle Paul’s words in Philippians 3. Paul is saying, “The things I have given up are nothing compared to what God has given to me.” This teaching of Paul’s is a very important principle to learn as we become more mature in our faith. We find happiness in God. The Bible says, “Blessed are those whose ways are blameless” (Psalm 119:1 NIV). The word blessed that is used here and throughout the psalms can be translated as “happy.” A more literal rendering of the word blessed—and I really like this one—would be “happy, happy.” So if someone had asked the psalmist, “How are you feeling today?” he might have replied, “Happy, happy.” But in this psalm and in other places in Scripture, we find that happiness is connected to holiness (or being “blameless”). We also find that happiness is not something that we should seek outright. Happiness should be the result of seeking holiness. Despite what our Declaration of Independence says, the pursuit of happiness in and of itself is generally a futile search. The apostle Peter wrote, “So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now, you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, ‘You must be holy because I am holy’” (1 Peter 1:14–16 NLT). God didn’t create us to be happy in the shallow sense of the word. He created us to be holy, to live as Christ lived, to prioritize the commands of Scripture, and to share our faith with others. And He stands ready to help us whenever that pursuit seems too difficult. When we pursue holiness, we experience a soul-deep sense of satisfaction, joy, hope, purpose, and fulfillment. We discover true happiness. If you desire happiness, then seek the holiness of God. Only then will you be “happy, happy.” Reflection Question: What does pursuing holiness look like in your life?

Supreme Court Decision on Transgender Military Ban: The Supreme Court allowed President Trump's ban on transgender individuals serving in the military to go into effect with a 6-3 decision. This policy bars individuals with gender dysphoria or those who have undergone gender transition from serving. The decision was seen as a victory for Trump, emphasizing a focus on military readiness and cohesion over social experiments. We emphasize that the military's primary role is to defend the country, not to serve as a platform for social issues. USAID Corruption: The podcast discusses a case of corruption involving a USAID official who steered contracts to a friend in exchange for secret payments. The official, Matthew Zahui, refused to allow auditors access to financial records, which raised suspicions. It was later discovered that he had directed contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to a friend's company, which then made payments to his personal bank account. We highlight the lack of accountability and the need for serious investigations and prosecutions in such cases. Defunding NPR: The podcast supports President Trump's efforts to defund NPR (National Public Radio), arguing that it is a partisan propaganda outlet. It provides examples of NPR's content that the authors find objectionable, such as stories on cannibalism, criticisms of the Declaration of Independence, and coverage of LGBTQ+ issues. We also argue that taxpayer money should not fund media outlets that promote a radical agenda. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn an era of rising polarization, what does religious liberty really mean—and why does it matter today? Dr. Owen Anderson, professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University, joins Will and Josh to unpack the philosophical roots of religious freedom, natural theology, and the moral principles that shaped the American founding. Together, they explore tough questions: How do we define religious liberty in a pluralistic society? Are the ideals in the Declaration of Independence grounded in Protestant theology? What does it mean to protect religious freedom without weaponizing faith for political gain? The conversation also touches on hot-button issues like Christian nationalism, DEI programs, transgender rights, and the complex relationship between church and state. Whether you're curious about the faith of the Founders or wrestling with modern debates about freedom of conscience, this episode offers thoughtful insight into the intersection of faith, philosophy, and democracy.Guest Bio:Dr. Owen Anderson is a professor of philosophy and religious studies at Arizona State University and the pastor of Christ the King Church in Phoenix. His work focuses on natural theology, constitutional principles, and moral philosophy, with a particular interest in how religious liberty and moral truth shape democratic societies.

The connection between liberty and Christian principles forms the beating heart of this episode, as Jesse Cope takes listeners on a journey through historical documents, spiritual reflections, and contemporary applications of timeless truths.Beginning with a powerful reading from Matthew 8, Jesse examines the centurion whose extraordinary faith amazed even Jesus. This biblical account serves as a mirror for modern Christians, challenging us to consider whether our denominational labels have become more important than our actual faith. "If someone accused you in court of being a Christian," Jesse asks pointedly, "would there be enough evidence to convict you?" Rather than relying on religious identification, we're called to produce daily evidence of genuine faith.The episode's exploration of Fox's Book of Martyrs reveals a profound truth: while not everyone who supports liberty identifies as Christian, the principles of liberty themselves are fundamentally Christian in origin. This establishes one of the most compelling arguments of the podcast – that freedom and Christianity share an unbreakable bond, whether acknowledged or not by liberty's advocates.Justice James Wilson's writings provide historical weight to this argument. As an original Supreme Court Justice who signed both the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, Wilson explicitly stated that "religion and law are twin sisters." This historical perspective directly challenges modern notions of separation between faith and governance, demonstrating that our founding generation viewed Christian principles as essential foundations for just governance.Through examining Mercy Otis Warren's historical account of the American Revolution and honoring Medal of Honor recipient Leonard L. Alvarado, the episode weaves together themes of sacrifice, duty, and divine providence in America's formation. The consistent thread throughout is clear: as we've moved further from our Christian foundations, our society has experienced increasing chaos and moral confusion.Whether you're deeply religious or simply interested in the historical foundations of liberty, this episode offers profound insights into the relationship between faith and freedom. Take a moment to consider: what evidence does your life produce about your values and convictions?Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
In this segment, I examine the notion that there was something remarkably Christian about America's founding era. Last week, I fact-checked Charlie Kirk's viral video defense of the belief that America was founded as a Christian nation in the legal sense. Most of what Kirk had to say was irrelevant or incorrect. Today, I consider an overview of moral and religious failings during the founding era. Along with guests Jemar Tisby, Mark Noll, George Marsden, Caleb Campbell, and Aaron Cowan, I contradict Charlie Kirk's call to return to America's Christian roots. In fact, those roots don't seem very Christian when one considers the injustice and atrocities throughout the historical record.From the segment: "With slavery, treachery, mass murder, betrayal and theft embedded in the legacy of the nation, what does it matter how many times a Supreme Being is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence or if the Liberty Bell has Leviticus on it?"Written and produced by Warren ThrockmortonMusic provided by Earl's Taco Shack, Jonathan Swaim, and Jonus Fair
In 2026, the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This year, cities, states, and the federal government are hard at work planning how they will celebrate. Granite Staters deserve to be proud of their revolutionary history; New Hampshire was the first of the 13 colonies to declare independence from England, six months before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. One proposal before the New Hampshire Legislature would give drivers the chance to participate in next year's festivities by purchasing a special, commemorative license plate for America's 250th.

This infamous sci-fi film is perhaps the church of Scientology's biggest attempt to ingratiate itself with mainstream culture. BATTLEFIELD EARTH is based on a novel by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, whose end goal was to adapt this book into a Hollywood film. Hubbard made an attempt in the mid-1980s to produce the adaptation himself, but it failed, and Hubbard died in 1986. Hubbard had hinted to John Travolta, a prominent Scientologist, that Hubbard would have liked Travolta to star in the film. Travolta took it upon himself to bring BATTLEFIELD EARTH to life in the mid-90s, eventually co-producing and starring as Terl, the dreadlocked 9-foot-tall antagonist of the film. Travolta's character Terl is a “Psychlo”, a colonial race of humanoid aliens on a universe-wide mission to strip less powerful planets of their resources. 3000 years in the future, earth is one of these planets. Johnny Goodboy is a human “man-animal” living like a post apocalyptic caveman and being hunted by the Psychlos. When Terl meets Johnny, Terl enslaves the human, thinking him inferior, but Johnny quickly adapts to Psychlo civilization and reads the historical Declaration of Independence which inspires him to thwart his captors with a daring escape. Although BATTLEFIELD EARTH doesn't demonstrate much about the Scientologist doctrine, perhaps it proves that Hubbard's main spiritual goal was aimed at the lowest heights possible — achieve fame and attention in the Hollywood system.

Two things: the new Canadian Prime Minister says it plain and true, calls out the U.S. for our betrayal of our best friend. It burns. It hurts. It aches like a bum tooth and the shame is sickening. Betrayers. We.Are.BETRAYERS. Let it sink in till the bitter bile rises in disgust. For a palette-cleanser, consider: Nitwit Nero is Barney Fife in the real world. So Friday-On-the-Front-Porch has moved to Discord. Join us! Head-ON with Roxanne Kincaid – May 2, 2025 This episode of the Roxanne Kincaid Show dives deep into the absurdities of MAGAT politics, global shifts in power, and the fight to preserve progressive values in the face of growing authoritarianism. Roxanne, self-described as a “liberal transbilly elitist,” cusses and discusses the MAGAT embrace of ignorance, American decline, and the urgency of community action. Key topics include: – Rep. Mike Collins's “Halal” hysteria, reacting with bigotry to CHA Street Food replacing Steak 'n Shake in a House office building, likening it to the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem. Roxanne mocks his ignorance of halal/kosher cuisine and South Asian food in general—while noting real crises in Collins's own district. – Trump (aka “Nitwit Nero”) butchering history, claiming the Declaration of Independence is about “unity and love,” which Roxanne compares to a Barney Fife-level misunderstanding. Even immigrants passing citizenship tests do better. – MAGAT voter “Cletus” laments Trump's economic inaction, showcasing disconnects between MAGAT expectations and Trump's actions. – More MAGAT absurdities, from Collins cheering racist chants to Trump demanding a birthday military parade and disrespecting Veterans Day. Beyond domestic politics, Roxanne discusses: – Canadian PM Mark Carney declaring the US-led global trade system “over” and lamenting “American betrayal,” signaling waning U.S. global relevance. – The U.S. as a ‘rounding error' globally, outpaced by the populations of China and India, and possibly facing reserve currency displacement. – Talk of a post-dollar global economy, with possible currency baskets including the yuan, euro, rupee, and pound. Amid concern for the U.S.'s fading clout, Roxanne uplifts her Horn family community, now connecting via Discord to maintain dialogue and solidarity. The show encourages listener support, podcast reviews, and highlights the work of Coal River Mountain Watch in fighting mountaintop removal. One donor even issues a challenge grant to boost fundraising. There's also some cautious optimism: – VP Kamala Harris is praised for tackling homebuying issues and price gouging. – The Quote ID contest continues, with Gatsby fans winning this round. But the future looms ominous. Roxanne warns of: – Climate catastrophe and the elite's seeming desire to abandon Earth (à la Elon Musk). – Mass extermination ideologies cloaked in "Western civilization" rhetoric by white Christian nationalists. – The Georgia Guidestones as a metaphor for techno-dystopian “rebuilding” under authoritarian rule. – A creeping American imperial presidency, with comparisons to Rome's descent into empire. Despite it all, Roxanne returns to a core message: community, resistance, and clarity of thought are vital. Whether through mocking MAGAT nonsense or spotlighting real threats to democracy and the planet, the show calls for vigilance, truth-telling, and action.

The 250th anniversary of the American Revolution's opening battles came and went with little fanfare. Colonial militia engaged British regulars at Lexington and Concord in April 1775. The Revolutionary War was underway. King George III would soon declare the American colonies in open rebellion. Is everyone saving their energy for next year's celebration of the Declaration of Independence? In this episode, historian Lindsay Chervinsky, the executive director of the George Washington Presidential Library at Mount Vernon, talks about the collapse of royal authority that was evident as early as 1774-75, well before formal independence was declared. The colonies were in a state of virtual independence, marking a transformation in the minds as well as the everyday lives of the American revolutionaries.
If your reaction to the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol was to think, 'That's not us,' think again. In Illiberal America: A History (Norton, 2024), a Pulitzer Prize–winning historian uncovers a powerful illiberalism as deep-seated in the American past as the founding ideals. A storm of illiberalism, building in the United States for years, unleashed its destructive force in the Capitol insurrection of January 6, 2021. The attack on American democracy and images of mob violence led many to recoil, thinking “That's not us.” But now we must think again, for Steven Hahn shows in his startling new history that illiberalism has deep roots in our past. To those who believe that the ideals announced in the Declaration of Independence set us apart as a nation, Hahn shows that Americans have long been animated by competing values, equally deep-seated, in which the illiberal will of the community overrides individual rights, and often protects itself by excluding perceived threats, whether on grounds of race, religion, gender, economic status, or ideology. Driven by popular movements and implemented through courts and legislation, illiberalism is part of the American bedrock. The United States was born a republic of loosely connected states and localities that demanded control of their domestic institutions, including slavery. As white settlement expanded west and immigration exploded in eastern cities, the democracy of the 1830s fueled expulsions of Blacks, Native Americans, Catholics, Mormons, and abolitionists. After the Civil War, southern states denied new constitutional guarantees of civil rights and enforced racial exclusions in everyday life. Illiberalism was modernized during the Progressive movement through advocates of eugenics who aimed to reduce the numbers of racial and ethnic minorities as well as the poor. The turmoil of the 1960s enabled George Wallace to tap local fears of unrest and build support outside the South, a politics adopted by Richard Nixon in 1968. Today, with illiberalism shaping elections and policy debates over guns, education, and abortion, it is urgent to understand its long history, and how that history bears on the present crisis. Steven Hahn is an acclaimed historian whose works include A Nation Under Our Feet, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Bancroft Prize, and A Nation Without Borders. He is professor of history at New York University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode on Israel's Independence Day. Today, we will step back in time and attempt to get into prime minister David Ben-Gurion’s state of mind as the Jewish state is declared in 1948. We speak about the divided nation -- even as it was fighting for its mere survival against enemies on all fronts. To understand how Ben-Gurion was thinking on that fateful May 14, 1948, we turn to two newly released images of his handwritten diary, which reveal the first prime minister’s anxieties as the newly born country headed to war against invading Arab neighbors.We then discuss how a mere few weeks after the Declaration of Independence, one of the most painful episodes in Israeli history occurred -- the Altalena Affair. Rettig Gur explains this social turning point. Finally, Rettig Gur expounds on the current Israeli moment and compares it to the prescient anxiety felt by Ben-Gurion and the profound test of leadership he faced so soon after the founding of the state.

In the latest episode of Liberty and Learning, Mark Levin engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Dr. Larry Arnn, the president of Hillsdale College. Together, they explore the profound significance of the Declaration of Independence, a document that not only marked a pivotal moment in American history but also established universal principles that continue to resonate today. Dr. Arnn articulates the necessity of the Declaration's opening statement, "When in the course of human events," emphasizing its universal applicability. This phrase sets the stage for a document that seeks to justify the colonies' separation from British rule by appealing to higher principles of natural law and rights. As they dissect the language and intent behind the Declaration, listeners are invited to reflect on the foundational values that shaped the nation. One of the key themes of this episode is the contrast between the principles enshrined in the Declaration and the ideologies of modern progressivism. Dr. Arnn argues that many contemporary critics of the Declaration, including figures like Woodrow Wilson, reject its timeless truths in favor of a more authoritarian approach to governance. This rejection, he asserts, undermines the very essence of what it means to be governed by consent. Levin and Arnn delve into the connection between the Declaration and the Constitution, illustrating how the latter was designed to uphold the principles established in the former. They discuss the importance of consent in governance and how the founding fathers were acutely aware of the need to limit their own powers to prevent tyranny. This historical context is essential for understanding the ongoing relevance of the Declaration in today's political discourse.

In the latest episode of Liberty and Learning, Mark Levin engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Dr. Larry Arnn, the president of Hillsdale College. Together, they explore the profound significance of the Declaration of Independence, a document that not only marked a pivotal moment in American history but also established universal principles that continue to resonate today. Dr. Arnn articulates the necessity of the Declaration's opening statement, "When in the course of human events," emphasizing its universal applicability. This phrase sets the stage for a document that seeks to justify the colonies' separation from British rule by appealing to higher principles of natural law and rights. As they dissect the language and intent behind the Declaration, listeners are invited to reflect on the foundational values that shaped the nation. One of the key themes of this episode is the contrast between the principles enshrined in the Declaration and the ideologies of modern progressivism. Dr. Arnn argues that many contemporary critics of the Declaration, including figures like Woodrow Wilson, reject its timeless truths in favor of a more authoritarian approach to governance. This rejection, he asserts, undermines the very essence of what it means to be governed by consent. Levin and Arnn delve into the connection between the Declaration and the Constitution, illustrating how the latter was designed to uphold the principles established in the former. They discuss the importance of consent in governance and how the founding fathers were acutely aware of the need to limit their own powers to prevent tyranny. This historical context is essential for understanding the ongoing relevance of the Declaration in today's political discourse.

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Giordano explores the life and legacy of James Wilson, one of the most influential yet overlooked Founding Fathers. As one of only six men to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, Wilson played a pivotal role in shaping the core structures of American government—including the Electoral College, the independent judiciary, and the concept of a single, energetic executive. Drawing from his Enlightenment roots and deep belief in popular sovereignty, Wilson's vision helped define the Constitution as a government of the people. His warnings, insights, and contributions are just as relevant today as they were in 1787. Episode Highlights: How James Wilson's ideas shaped the Electoral College, the presidency, and judicial independence Why Wilson opposed the Bill of Rights—and what it reveals about constitutional interpretation The forgotten story of a Founder who helped design America's legal system, then died broke and in obscurity
The Founders didn't just fight tyranny - they defined exactly what it was: arbitrary power. In this episode, we dig into how they viewed it, why they saw it as the ultimate threat to liberty, and how it shaped everything from the Declaration of Independence to the creation of written constitutions. Drawing from Otis, Adams, Jefferson, Locke, and more, we break down the core principle behind the American Revolution - and why every step beyond the Constitution isn't just wrong - it's a lawless recipe for disaster. The post The Founders' Warning: Why THIS Power Spells Tyranny! first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.
Republican senators could have insisted on someone who was even minimally competent to run our military, but because of their spinelessness, we've now got a SecDef who can't resist texting top secret war plans. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court shows it doesn't trust the Trump administration, and judges on lower federal courts have stopped believing what its lawyers say. Plus, Joe Perticone joins from Rome to discuss the passing of Pope Francis. And the uncanny relevance of the American revolutionaries' grievances against King George.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, you are hearing it in the leftwing press, in the Never-Trump editorial pages and more - you cannot and must not deport anyone without some kind of notice and due process. Yet, there's nothing from these people on how this is supposed to actually work. What kind of due process are they talking about? The kind of due process that applies to citizens? If not, then what lower standard suffices as constitutional due process? Exactly how would due process, of any kind, be administered to millions and millions of illegal immigrants? We don't have enough courts of any kind in our country to handle the tsunami of cases that would be involved. This was all intentional. The border was opened to anyone. This is the Cloward-Pivens strategy: flood the system, overwhelm the system, break the system, and in doing so achieve your goals. Effectively, this is massive amnesty. Also, it seems these Federal judges are trying to stop mass deportation efforts and disrupt the Trump administration's response to Biden's mass immigration policies. Later, Hans von Spakovsky calls in and explains that he was stunned by Judge Boasberg's order because he's blatantly defying the Supreme Court. Boasberg's order was void from the moment he signed it. So how can he hold the Trump administration in contempt? Either Boasberg is incompetent or he's deliberately ignoring the Supreme Court. Afterward, Jonathan Turley calls in to discuss the criminal referral against NY AG Letitia James. James claims that her Virginia home was her principal residence. That was not and cannot be true because she was and still is an official of the New York government who must live within the state. What's notable about her false statements is that each one worked towards a better mortgage rate. Then, the Declaration of Independence discusses natural law and natural rights. Where do these concepts originate? They are influenced by John Locke and Montesquieu, but not entirely, as they ultimately come from God. When they say the people are sovereign, that ide comes from God. This is why the government can never be sovereign. The United States is first county on earth to be founded on these principles. Finally, Heritage President, Kevin Roberts, calls in to discuss the organization's impactful projects and ongoing efforts to revitalize federalism in America. Roberts shares insights on the current political landscape, the significance of state legislative work, and the importance of maintaining a conservative agenda while addressing challenges such as tariffs and international relations.

In this enlightening episode, Mark Levin and Dr. Larry Arnn take listeners on a journey through the events that led to the Revolutionary War, marking a significant moment as they approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The discussion begins with an exploration of the philosophical roots of natural law and rights, emphasizing the importance of understanding where these concepts originated. Dr. Arnn highlights the early American settlements, explaining how the British colonies were unique in their establishment, with families arriving to create communities based on shared beliefs and practices. This foundation laid the groundwork for a society that would eventually seek independence. The friction between the colonies and Britain intensified after the French and Indian War, as Britain sought to impose regulations and taxes on the colonies, leading to a growing sense of autonomy among the settlers. The episode also delves into the key figures and events that shaped this revolutionary period. From the signing of the Mayflower Compact to the battles of Lexington and Concord, the narrative illustrates how the colonists' desire for self-governance clashed with British authority. The discussions surrounding the Declaration of Independence reveal its dual nature as both a philosophical document and a legislative act that founded a new nation. Listeners are encouraged to appreciate the significance of the Declaration and the ideas that drove the American Revolution. As Dr. Arnn eloquently states, the founding principles of America were unique and revolutionary, establishing a nation based on the rights of individuals rather than the rule of aristocracy. This episode serves not only as a historical recount but also as a reminder of the importance of understanding our roots as a nation. The stakes were incredibly high for those who signed the Declaration, and the discussion emphasizes the courage and conviction required to break away from British rule.
