Thiago Menezes é o único dançarino brasileiro e latino-americano na temporada do clássico Aida, na Ópera de Paris, em cartaz até 4 de novembro. Ele começou sua carreira ainda criança no subúrbio do Rio de Janeiro, passou por companhias de dança, se formou como ator e viveu intensas experiências profissionais. Desde 2016, o carioca fixou residência na França, onde atuou por várias companhias de teatro e dança e, agora, alcança seu ápice profissional aos 38 anos, ao passar pela entrada de artistas da consagrada Ópera Bastille. Thiago sempre se percebeu como artista: “Eu sempre quis dançar, desde pequeno. Sempre quis fazer algo com arte. Eu amava o mundo da televisão. Lembro de muito pequeno já ver os programas infantis e querer estar ali dentro”, recorda. Criado no bairro de Quintino, aos 16 anos Thiago precisou trabalhar para apoiar sua família, mas conseguiu continuar sonhando com a carreira de artista. “Eu comecei a fazer cursos de teatro, de dança. Tudo com bolsa, porque eu não podia pagar. Era uma época em que não tinha muito meninos e os cursos davam bolsa para homens”, explica. Ele passou por inúmeras escolas de dança como o Centro de Dança Rio, no Méier, a Cia Nós da Dança, a Petite Danse, e se tornou ator na Escola de Teatro da Faetec, no Rio, antes de fazer seu caminho no exterior. No entanto, o bailarino e ator considera as ruas do Rio de Janeiro como o lugar que o moldou para ser hoje um artista “plural”. “Eu tive a experiência da rua, das companhias de dança, o que me formou como artista, a ter disciplina e ideia de grupo. Mas sou um bailarino de danças urbanas, de jazz que vem do subúrbio do Rio de Janeiro. Eu ensaiava no MAM (Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro) ou no baile do viaduto de Madureira. A gente ia se formar ali na rua. Dos bailarinos que conheço que estão no Brasil ou no mundo, a gente teve essa pluralidade de formação”, aponta. Carreira entre Brasil e França Mas as poucas oportunidades para artistas e dançarinos negros na TV e teatro fizeram com que Thiago, que sentia sua carreira estagnada no Brasil, olhasse para fora no ano de 2012.  “Surgiu uma audição para vir para o circo na França como bailarino. A base do circo era em Toulouse, mas a gente viajava. Eu conheci a França inteira, gente!", relembra o carioca. "Fiquei um ano aqui, não quis renovar o contrato, quis voltar para o Brasil”, disse em entrevista à RFI. Durante esse breve retorno ao Brasil, Thiago Menezes fez teatro, participação em novela e até musicais, e permaneceu alguns anos trabalhando com o grupo Nós do Morro. Mas em 2016 decidiu voltar à França visando construir uma carreira sólida na dança.  Dez anos de carreira na França O artista destaca que não poderia haver melhor momento para estar trabalhando em uma das instituições mais importantes do cenário cultural europeu e mundial. “Aida é uma das minhas óperas preferidas e é um sonho realizar esta ópera agora, porque faz 10 anos que estou aqui. Comemorar os 10 anos fazendo uma ópera na Ópera de Paris”, celebra Thiago. Aida é uma obra clássica italiana criada em 1871 por Giuseppe Verdi. Com mais de 3 horas e meia de duração, entre cenas épicas, árias e a famosa marcha triunfal, a ópera conta a história de uma princesa etíope escravizada no Egito, que enfrenta a rivalidade de Amneris, filha do faraó, que ama o mesmo homem que ela, Radamés.  Thiago Menezes detalhou o processo para conquistar sua vaga no espetáculo que está em cartaz até o dia 4 de novembro na Ópera de Paris: “Fiz uma audição com mais de 60 pessoas, bem complicada. A gente teve várias fases, mas começou com a dança porque eles precisavam de bailarinos de universos diferentes. Desde acrobatas, dançarinos de hip hop, balé clássico, contemporâneo e jazz. Foram cinco horas de audição”, explica. Apesar da seleção intensa, que também contou com uma fase de testes de interpretação, Thiago revela que teve um pressentimento positivo sobre conseguir a oportunidade. “Nesse dia eu falei: 'Eu vou pegar!'. Joguei para o universo. Recebi a resposta por e-mail uma semana depois, e fiquei muito feliz. Estou muito feliz!”, festeja. Representando o Brasil  Para Thiago, o caminho para chegar onde está sempre foi solitário, enquanto único brasileiro em diversas produções das quais já participou. Entretanto, ele se mostra esperançoso para um futuro com mais jovens sonhadores dos subúrbios sonhando alto e chegando longe. “Eu fico muito orgulhoso de ser o único brasileiro nessa produção, em mais de cem pessoas, sem contar a parte técnica, numa ópera desse tamanho. Eu fui muitas vezes o único latino-americano e único brasileiro em vários projetos. Infelizmente ainda é a minha realidade. Eu gostaria que houvesse mais brasileiros, mas vai ter. Isso vai acontecer!”, projeta Thiago Menezes. “Ser o único brasileiro é trazer essa leveza que a gente tem, trazer também o riso, levar a galera para ir comer comida brasileira, levar a galera para um samba depois do palco. Acho que a gente também é conhecido pela nossa alegria, pela nossa espontaneidade. Eu trago não só eu, Thiago, mas o Brasil comigo nessa leveza e alegria que a gente tem e que a gente emana muito para o mundo!”, aposta o bailarino.

Nesta montagem de Macbeth, dirigida pela multiartista Elisa Ohtake, a profunda conexão de Giuseppe Verdi com Shakespeare ganha nova vida. Embora não dominasse o inglês, Verdi viu na tradução italiana do bardo um verdadeiro tesouro, revolucionando a ópera italiana ao infundir seus personagens com a profundidade dramática e a intensidade vívida que Shakespeare trouxe à dramaturgia inglesa. Verdi, homem de teatro nato, conduziu sua música de forma a criar uma atmosfera constante de mistério e angústia, sem permitir intervalos que pudessem interromper o envolvimento do espectador.Estreada em 1847 em Florença, Macbeth foi concebida durante o que Verdi chamou de seus “anos de galera”, uma fase em que batalhava para se afirmar no cenário lírico italiano. Com libreto de Francesco Maria Piave e acréscimos de Andrea Maffei, a ópera foi bem-recebida em sua première, mas desapareceu dos palcos por quase um século, em parte em razão das exigências do papel de Lady Macbeth, considerado um desafio extremo para as sopranos.Elisa Ohtake, conhecida por sua abordagem cênica contemporânea e ousada, dará nova luz à complexa história de poder, ambição e morte de Macbeth. Com uma formação diversificada em dança e teatro, Elisa já esteve próxima da obra de Shakespeare com sua instigante Peça para Adultos Feita por Crianças, na qual crianças interpretam Hamlet.Participaram desde episódio: Elisa Ohtake, Hernán Sánchez Arteaga, Aline Santini, Sofia Nestrovski e Vladimir Safatle.Podcast realizado pelas bolsistas Débora Oliveira, Mirella Lima e Triz Cristina, sob supervisão de Ligiana Costa.

This Day in Legal History: Spiro Agnew ResignsOn October 10, 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned from office after pleading nolo contendere (no contest) to a charge of federal income tax evasion. This marked the first time in U.S. history that a sitting vice president resigned due to criminal charges. Agnew, who had been under investigation for bribery, extortion, and tax fraud from his time as Baltimore County Executive and Governor of Maryland, struck a deal with federal prosecutors to avoid jail time.Agnew's resignation came amid the broader constitutional crisis surrounding the Nixon administration, which was already under intense scrutiny due to the unfolding Watergate scandal. While Agnew denied the bribery allegations, he admitted he failed to report $29,500 in income received in 1967. As part of the plea agreement, he was fined $10,000 and placed on three years' probation, but avoided prison.His departure triggered the use of the 25th Amendment, specifically Section 2, which allows the president to nominate a new vice president when a vacancy occurs. President Nixon nominated Gerald R. Ford, then House Minority Leader, who was confirmed by both chambers of Congress. Less than a year later, Nixon himself would resign, and Ford would ascend to the presidency—making him the only U.S. president never elected to the office of president or vice president.New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted on October 9, 2025, for allegedly providing false information on a mortgage application. A federal grand jury in Virginia charged her with bank fraud and making a false statement to a lending institution, accusing her of falsely claiming she would use a property in Norfolk, Virginia, as a secondary residence. The indictment alleges that by misrepresenting her intent, James secured a lower interest rate, saving around $19,000. She denies wrongdoing and called the charges a politically motivated attack by the Trump administration, which she has clashed with repeatedly.The case follows a recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and ongoing investigations into other Trump critics, including Senator Adam Schiff and Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Critics, including James' attorney Abbe Lowell and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, claim Trump is using the Justice Department for political retaliation. The case was brought by U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, a recent Trump appointee, reportedly without involvement from career prosecutors. James is expected to appear in court on October 24.The legal battle comes amid ongoing litigation between James and Trump, most notably a civil fraud case that initially led to a $454 million penalty against Trump, later overturned on appeal. James' team plans to fight the charges vigorously, suggesting her misstatements were not intentional.Letitia James, NY attorney general and Trump foe, indicted for mortgage fraud | ReutersA federal judge in Chicago has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Illinois, citing concerns that the move could escalate tensions rather than ease them. U.S. District Judge April Perry questioned the federal government's justification for sending troops to manage what it described as unrest around an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. The state had sued the Trump administration, arguing the deployment was unnecessary and politically motivated. Perry noted that federal officers' own actions had sparked the protests and warned that additional troops would “add fuel to the fire.” Her injunction will remain in place until at least October 23.This ruling follows a similar block in Portland, Oregon, though a federal appeals court in San Francisco now seems poised to overturn that decision, possibly clearing the way for future deployments. The Trump administration has defended the use of troops, claiming it's necessary to protect federal property, while Democratic leaders in affected states accuse the president of misrepresenting peaceful protests as violent uprisings.Governor JB Pritzker called the court's ruling a win for the rule of law, arguing there's no rebellion requiring a military response in Illinois. The White House, meanwhile, pledged to appeal the decision, with Trump reiterating plans to expand troop deployments to other cities, including Chicago and Memphis. Critics argue this strategy stretches the limits of presidential authority and raises legal concerns over the military's role in domestic law enforcement.US judge blocks Trump's deployment of National Guard in Illinois | ReutersThe U.S. Senate confirmed Jennifer Mascott, a conservative legal scholar and Trump ally, to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 50-47 vote, further shifting the court to the right. Her confirmation drew criticism from Democrats, particularly from Delaware senators, who objected to her lack of ties to the state traditionally associated with the vacant seat. Her only known Delaware connection is a beach house, prompting concerns about broken precedent and political loyalty.Mascott, who has clerked for Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, was on leave from her faculty position at Catholic University while working in the White House Counsel's Office. Senate Republicans praised her conservative legal background and past testimony before the Judiciary Committee. In contrast, Democrats criticized her nomination as partisan, with Senator Chuck Schumer labeling her a “sycophant” to Trump.This appointment, along with the recent confirmation of Emil Bove—a former Trump DOJ official and personal attorney—gives Republican appointees a majority on the 3rd Circuit, which hears appeals from Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.Democrats also voiced frustration over the elimination of the “blue slip” tradition, which once allowed home-state senators to block appellate nominees. Republicans ended that practice during Trump's first term, enabling confirmations like Mascott's over local opposition. On the same day, the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced another Trump nominee, Rebecca Taibleson, despite objections from her home-state senator.US Senate confirms Trump nominee Mascott to federal appeals court | ReutersA Republican-controlled Senate committee approved two of President Donald Trump's nominees to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) but delayed action on a third, leaving the agency without the quorum needed to issue decisions. The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee voted 12-11 to advance James Murphy, a retired NLRB lawyer, to the board and Crystal Carey, a labor attorney, as general counsel. However, a planned vote on Scott Mayer, Boeing's chief labor counsel, was pulled after he clashed with Senator Josh Hawley during his confirmation hearing.The NLRB has been unable to function fully since Trump's firing of Democratic board member Gwynne Wilcox in January and the expiration of another Republican member's term. Wilcox is challenging her dismissal in court, and the Supreme Court has allowed her removal to stand pending resolution. Without at least three board members, the NLRB cannot issue rulings, stalling hundreds of cases — including many involving union elections.Trump's nominees would give Republicans control of the board for the first time since 2021. Democrats expressed concern over the independence of the nominees, noting the precedent of Wilcox's dismissal and questioning whether the new appointees could remain neutral. Both Murphy and Mayer insisted they would apply the law impartially, regardless of political pressure.Mayer faced particular scrutiny over a current strike involving Boeing workers in Missouri. Hawley criticized Boeing's executive compensation amid labor disputes, while Mayer declined to comment on the situation, citing his pending nomination. The HELP Committee also approved other Trump nominees for roles within the Department of Labor.US Senate panel approves two Trump NLRB nominees, tables a third | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Giuseppe Verdi.This week's closing theme features a composer whose name is nearly synonymous with Italian opera — Giuseppe Verdi, born on or around October 10, 1813, in the small village of Le Roncole, then part of the Napoleonic French Empire. Best known for grand operas like La Traviata, Aida, and Rigoletto, Verdi's music defined the emotional and political voice of 19th-century Italy. Though his legacy rests almost entirely on the opera stage, Verdi briefly stepped into the world of chamber music with a single, striking contribution: his String Quartet in E minor, composed in 1873.He wrote it during a production delay of Aida in Naples, saying modestly it was “just a trifle” — but the work is anything but. The first movement, Allegro vivace, opens with an energetic, tightly woven interplay among the instruments, showcasing Verdi's grasp of counterpoint and formal structure, likely influenced by his admiration for German composers like Beethoven. There's a dramatic drive that feels operatic, yet the themes unfold with the clarity and discipline of a seasoned instrumentalist.It's the only surviving chamber piece Verdi completed, and it stands as a fascinating outlier in his body of work — more intimate, abstract, and inward-looking than his vocal dramas. The movement balances lyrical passages with bursts of rhythmic vitality, hinting that even without voices, Verdi could make instruments sing. As we mark the week of his birth, this selection offers a rare glimpse into the quieter, more introspective corners of a composer usually associated with sweeping arias and rousing choruses.

I have spent the past week planning forthcoming episodes and last night I realized I had to “throw together” something for this weekend's episode. When this happens, it can often result in a very eclectic program, indeed, and one which many of my listeners find to be among the most enjoyable Countermelody episodes. I have collected more than enough material for at least a dozen of my so-called “Rescue Mission” episodes, in which I feature artists to whom an entire episode has already been devoted, but for whom I have unearthed additional recordings. For today's episode, I decided to focus exclusively on duets, featuring at least one singer of each pair who has already been heard (sometimes quite recently) on the podcast. And thus we have David Rendall singing Erik in The Flying Dutchman opposite Rita Cullis; Renata Scotto (with Carlo Bergonzi) in Elisir; April Cantelo in Paul Hindemith's Cardillac; Maureen Lehane as Penelope in Il ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria; Carol Neblett as Donna Elvira; and Helen Donath (with Deborah Voigt in Strauss's rare Die ägyptische Helena). Also heard are operas by Gottfried von Einem, Giuseppe Verdi, Lee Hoiby, and Carl Orff featuring Christa Ludwig, John Reardon, Grace Bumbry, Edda Moser, and upcoming Countermelody featured artists John Bröcheler, Roland Hermann, and Eberhard Wächter. The episode concludes with the unlikely pair of Ileana Cotrubaş (pictured) and Jorma Hynninen (two of my most revered singers) as the title characters in a transcendent live recording of Pelléas et Mélisande. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Die Jahreszeiten und ihr Wechsel in der Natur haben viele bildende Künstler inspiriert, aber auch Musiker wie Giuseppe Verdi oder Astor Piazzolla. Die berühmtesten Jahreszeiten sind zweifellos «Le quattro stagioni» von Antonio Vivaldi. In vier Violinkonzerten schildert Vivaldi plastische Landschaftsbilder, die bis heute nichts von ihrer Faszination verloren haben: Süss murmelnde Bächlein und sanften Wind, schlafende Hirten, aber auch Blitz und Donner – der Fantasie sind bei dieser Musik keine Grenzen gesetzt. Vivaldi stellt den einzelnen Konzerten Sonette voran, die er wahrscheinlich selbst geschrieben hat. Der «Sommer» mit seiner unerträglichen Hitze, den surrenden Fliegen, dem Gesang von Kuckuck, Turteltaube und Stieglitz, aber auch dem heftigen Gewitter steht im Zentrum der Diskothek. Eva Oertle vergleicht mit ihren Gästen, den beiden Geigerinnen Barbara Doll und Leila Schayegh sechs Aufnahmen von Antonio Vivaldis berühmtem Violinkonzert op. 8 Nr. 2. Erstausstrahlung: 26.07.2021

August ist Festspielzeit, auch bei Auf den Tag genau. Vor wenigen Tagen waren wir das erste Mal seit Bestehen des Podcast bei jenen in Bayreuth, in ein paar Tagen absolvieren wir wieder unseren beinahe jährlichen Gang nach Salzburg, und heute schauen wir nach fünf Jahren wieder einmal bei den Freiluftspielen in der Arena di Verona vorbei, die 1913 zum einhundertsten Geburtstag von Giuseppe Verdi erstmals und seit 1919 alljährlich große Zuschauermengen in das alte römische Baudenkmal zogen. Meistgespieltes Werk ist dort von jeher Verdis Aida, die Berichterstatterin der Altonaer Nachrichten Margarethe Schuch-Mankiewicz wohnte indes einer Aufführung von Amilcare Ponchiellis hierzulande tatsächlich immer noch unterschätzter Oper La Gioconda bei, die sie durchaus zu würdigen weiß. Das Hauptaugenmerk ihres am 12. August 1925 erschienenen Textes gilt allerdings den einmaligen atmosphärischen Begleiterscheinungen dieses nächtlichen Spektakels, die sich über die Dauer eines Jahrhunderts gar nicht allzu stark verändert zu haben scheinen. Rosa Leu war für uns an der Piazza Brá.

Giuseppe Verdis erste Shakespeare-Vertonung "Macbeth" ist ein echter Opern-Thriller, das Psychogramm eines machtgeilen Mörderpaars. Am Wochenende gab's ein Remake der Salzburger Erfolgsproduktion von 2023 - mit Salzburg-Star Asmik Grigorian als eiskalter Lady in Krzysztof Warlikowskis bildgewaltiger Inszenierung. Am Pult der Wiener Philharmoniker stand wieder Philippe Jordan.

The young Aida loves the dashing military commander Radamès, and he adores her with a burning passion.Their mutual love is, however, somewhat complicated by the fact that Aida is a slave, enslaved by a princess who is equally smitten with the heroic warrior.  Further complicating matters, Radamès' military renown is founded on successfully prosecuting a war against Aida's people.  In this violent clash of the personal and political, Aida triumphs in her quest to be together “ever after” with Radamès, but certainly not in the way they had hoped.  Join us this episode to marvel at the spectacle and scale of Giuseppe Verdi's enduringly popular epic opera, Aida. Hosted by Pat with guest co-host Gerald Malone. Gerald Malone's website, TheRestIsOpera.com is brimming with commentary on opera productions that he has seen around the world, and “scuttlebutt” about opera from a suspiciously well-informed canine.

Skandalös: Im Italien der 1850er Jahre sitzt die Aristokratie in den Logen und Verdi stellt die gesellschaftlich Geächteten auf die Bühne: Singend prangert ein Buckliger den Machtmissbrauch des Adels an ... Von Christoph Vratz.

(00:50) «La Traviata» von Giuseppe Verdi ist eine der beliebtesten Opern überhaupt. Im Grand Théâtre in Genf steht sie jetzt wieder auf dem Spielplan - in einer aktualisierten Fassung. Regisseurin Karin Henkel erzählt die Geschichte aus einer weiblichen Perspektive. Weitere Themen: (05:05) Schwimmendes Museum auf dem Vierwaldstättersee - auf dem Dampfschiff «Schiller» wird eine Ausstellung zu Goethe und seiner Liebe zur Schweiz gezeigt. (11:21) Fabel über den Krieg - der poetische Film «Hôtel Silence» erzählt von einem Mann, der auszieht, um Dinge zu reparieren - und sich selbst. (15:30) Vermächtnis eines engagierten Schriftstellers - in seinem posthum erschienenen Essayband «Zeiten der Scham» ergründet der österreichische Autor Martin Pollack politische und persönliche Themen. (19:44) Gitarrist zu Gast im Studio - der österreichische Musiker Wolfgang Muthspiel war für die Veranstaltungsreihe «Public Recordings @ SRF» zu Besuch in Basel.

Giuseppe Verdis spätes Meisterwerk über den afrikanischen Helden Otello, der durch eine rassistische Intrige Jagos zum Eifersuchtsmord an seiner Frau Desdemona getrieben wird, ist heute unter postkolonialen Perspektiven nicht unumstritten. Blackfacing geht gar nicht, wenngleich die schwere Titelpartie von meist weißen Sängern verkörpert wird. Die Staatsoper in Stuttgart will Verdis Meisterwerk nicht dekonstruieren, es auch nicht postkolonial verdammen, sondern es kritisch befragen und zugleich als großes Werk retten. Regisseurin Silvia Costa hat sich dafür den aus Ghana stammenden Videokünstler John Akomfrah mit ins Boot geholt und Stefano Montanari dirigiert.

We follow the convulsions of Italian society -- foreign invasion, popular revolution, peasant revolt, liberal reform, Romantic pageantry, diplomatic dirty dealings, and patriotic war -- through which the residents of a fragmented, poor, and backwards section of Europe overthrew the puppet regimes of foreign rulers and challenged the internal power of the Church, to seize control of their own destiny and create a new nation-state that would take its place among the major powers of the world.

President Trump’s attempts to freeze federal dollars for “sanctuary” jurisdictions were thwarted in court last week. Where is the battle headed?  The Supreme Court is considering two cases about public education this week. One involves the bar to prove discrimination related to disability, and the other involves state funding for a religious charter school. “Sinners” takes the box office for a second week, sparking debate about originality, biased media coverage, and what its success means for Hollywood’s future. Rufus Wainwright’s new album, “Dream Requiem,” is interwoven with Lord Byron’s poem “Darkness.” It’s partly inspired by Giuseppe Verdi, and is dedicated to Wainwright’s dog named Puccini.

In case you haven't heard it, the piece is a highly operatic setting of the historic Catholic funeral Mass, composed by the irreligious Giuseppe Verdi to mourn the death of his closest friend.   The music was exquisite, the performers were among the most talented in the world, and I was comfy in a seat in the lavish Avery Fisher Hall. But one thing set my experience apart from most of my fellow music lovers': I believed in every word the singers were delivering — even if the singers didn't and Verdi himself had not.   One part of the text of the Dies Irae seems plucked from our current headlines: The section that centers on evils getting exposed, driven into the light. At the General Judgment, every sin ever committed will be unmasked for all to see — so that both God's justice and His mercy will be obvious to each soul ever created.   Nature sickens with dismay, Death may not retain its prey; And before the Maker stand All the creatures of his hand. The great book shall be unfurled, Whereby God shall judge the world; What was distant shall be near, What was hidden shall be clear.   We are seeing before us today in our country a faint foreshadowing of that great, world-ending exposé. The corruption, perversion, waste, and even hate that pervaded our government agencies and the institutions led by our self-selecting elites are all getting driven out into the light, thanks to the stern measures imposed by President Donald Trump.   Please Support The Stream: Equipping Christians to Think Clearly About the Political, Economic, and Moral Issues of Our Day. Neither a Spirit of Fear Nor of Vengeance No, Trump isn't God, or even especially godly as far as we can tell. That bothers me for his sake, but not for ours. Constantine saved the early Church from persecution despite his personal sins, and Charles Martel saved Europe from the Muslim hordes with the bloodstained hands of a war lord. However, insofar as a legitimate earthly ruler wields the sword on God's behalf, becoming “the legitimate avenger of crimes,” a just ruler can do God's will as surely as the Church does in its own quite separate sphere.   As we watch the violent antics and lawless abuses of power by the Left unfold in response to Trump's perfectly reasonable efforts to trim down the government and cease its persecution of ordinary citizens, we shouldn't be consumed with worry, afraid he will fail. Nor should we give in to a spirit of vindictiveness, taking a sadistic glee in the suffering of our enemies, however well-deserved.   Instead I think we ought to treat this political moment as a little window on the end of time, when every evil is dragged kicking and screaming into the light, even our own. As we pray for this great purge of political filth to fully succeed for the benefit of our nation and our neighbors, keeping such an apocalyptic perspective will help us avoid falling into the Enemy's snares, which he scatters plentifully both on the Left and on the Right.   With all of that said, let's review some of the skeletons the Trump team is tossing or driving out of our oligarchs' reeking closets.   Road Ragers and Vandals Target Tesla Owners and Their “Nazi Cars” The kind of people who pride themselves on their “compassion” for illegal immigrants, sexual eccentricities, and the government of Ukraine are showing much less tolerance and charity for their fellow Americans — targeting not just people who disagree with them politically, but total strangers who happened to buy a certain brand of car. Owners of Teslas who might not have cared or even known about Elon Musk's political views are now getting menaced on highways, seeing their vehicles vandalized, and otherwise living in fear. Here's one of the worst incidents:   Cowardly attacks on unattended Teslas are happening across the country, quite possibly as part of a coordinated effort along the lines of the Antifa and Black Lives Matter protests that savaged America's cities five years ago. And our chattering classes are gibbering their approval like a squadron of flying monkeys, as Joe Rogan reports:   Trying to Commit Murder by Police Other violence aimed at conservatives and Christians entails the criminal abuse of police that's colloquially called “SWATting.” That entails making an anonymous call from an untraceable phone to the police, claiming that an “active shooter” is present at the home of some political enemy — then sitting back and watching the news to find out if you successfully got that person, his spouse, or his children gunned down by the cops. Who's getting subjected to such attacks? One victim was gifted Christian author Larry Taunton:   Gateway Pundit reports on another potentially grim incident:   InfoWars host Owen Shroyer became the latest victim of a “swatting” incident at his home in Austin, Texas in what he calls a “terrorist attack” perpetrated by leftist extremists.   A fake police report claiming Shroyer had shot someone led to a full-blown armed raid on his residence, with at least a dozen officers storming his home with weapons drawn. …   Shroyer pointed fingers directly at the Democrat Party, naming names and calling for federal authorities to act.   “We know what's going on. The Democrat Party and all of their little street thugs — funded by Act Blue, stolen money from USAID, George Soros, and other groups — are behind it. They are behind the terror attacks against Elon Musk,” he said.   Keep in mind that just two weeks ago Shroyer's colleague, Jamie White, was murdered while on assignment reporting about leftist political violence.   Let's offer prayers of gratitude for the professionalism of the police who managed these incidents, and for protection of nonviolent American citizens just trying to go about their lives at a time when a spirit of savagery seems to have been let loose on our nation.   Canceling Elections Our elites aren't quite at the point where they can just cancel elections and jail the conservative candidate, as recently happened in Romania (perhaps with the collusion of American Deep State conspirator Anthony Blinken, according to Diplomatic Affairs.) Our political class was blindsided by Trump's 2016 win, and responded by spraying our media with the manufactured filth of the faked Steele Dossier to push the hoax that Trump was somehow “colluding” with Vladimir Putin's Russia — a charge that led to one of the two fraudulent impeachment efforts aimed at Trump. Here's the great Natalie Winters of Bannon's War Room confronting Christopher Steele himself, and it's glorious to hear a smart conservative be permitted to speak her mind without getting interrupted or shouted down. Just watch his face go from smugness to something approaching shame as Winters holds him accountable.   The Russia collusion hoax, with its associated faked prosecutions of Trump allies such as General Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, and others, effectively derailed his first term in office. The COVID panic permitted the Democrats to steal his second term in 2020. Now having failed (thanks to the efforts of shadowy patriots on whom Emerald Robinson has reported) to steal the 2024 race, our oligarchs are trying to nullify its effects via a full-scale judicial coup against the executive branch of government. Thanks to Gov. Ron DeSantis for calling this crime out and suggesting one realistic remedy:   As the author of the Dies Irae, channeling sacred scripture, promised us:   What was distant shall be near, What was hidden shall be clear.   Along The Stream … Later today, don't miss this eye-opening video from Apologetics Roadshow on the new, openly racist criminal sentencing policies in Great Britain, imposed to protect Muslim immigrants and punish native citizens.   Don't miss Jules Gomes' thoughtful piece this morning, “Only Radical Christianity Can Defeat Radical Islam.”    John Zmirak is a senior editor at The Stream and author or co-author of ten books, including The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism. He is co-author with Jason Jones of “God, Guns, & the Government.”   John Zmirak's new book: No Second Amendment, No First  by John Zmirak  Available March 19, 2024 Today's Left endlessly preaches the evils of “gun violence." It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.                 The Brew: Judicial Tyranny Edition In case you thought that the JFK files declassification turned up mostly a bunch of nothingburgers, Rep.

She prevented war and death on an immense scale, in acts that could earn the Nobel Peace Prize today. But History enshrined Sisi, Empress of Austria, as a vain beauty queen. The smear campaign was personal, not political: it started with her own tyrannical mother-in-law. Can Sisi conquer her own self-doubt, and drag draconian Austria into the modern world?

Rufus Wainwright is a difficult artist to categorize at the best of times. As a musician, he's recorded pop songs, folk music, operas and stage musicals. But his new album, “Dream Requiem,” is a little different, even for him. It's a religious work inspired by a range of subjects, including a poem by Lord Byron, the music of Giuseppe Verdi, and his beloved late dog Puccini. He also managed to recruit Meryl Streep to narrate the project. Rufus joins Tom Power over Zoom to talk about the different influences behind “Dream Requiem,” his upbringing in Quebec, and how this project really mourns the death of the American Dream.
