In “The American Revolution,” a new six-part docuseries airing on PBS this week, filmmakers Ken Burns and Sarah Botstein take a deep look at the American Revolutionary War and the years before and after. They debunk many of the idealized myths we tell ourselves about the country's founding and the complex motivations of the men who championed independence. At once critical and patriotic, it examines America's history in ways the Trump administration would rather paper over. Kara, Ken and Sarah talk about the ways George Washington was both a deeply flawed man and integral to American victory in the war, how enslaved African Americans looked to the British for hope of freedom, and why it's unfair to paint all Loyalists to the British Crown as traitors. They also talk about why there's still a lot of reasons to find hope in America's origin story today.  Questions? Comments?

​​Sissy and David celebrate the strengths of Enneagram Sixes—their loyalty, courage, diligence, and care for the common good—while naming the real challenges of worst-case thinking, indecision, and hypervigilance. They offer practical ideas for Six parents (trust your gut, build steady routines, model bravery “even when you feel afraid”) and simple ways to support a child who might be a Six (reassure safety, give age-appropriate choices, and nudge into small risks). The theme: Sixes hold families and communities together more than they realize.

Today on Mea Culpa, I'm joined by Cenk Uygur, founder and CEO of online news network TYT and host of The Young Turks. One of the most fearless voices in progressive media, Cenk joins me to unpack America's political free fall under Trump. We dig into the weaponization of government power and the absurd contrast between Trump's lavish Gatsby-style parties and the millions left hungry as SNAP funding remains frozen. Cenk breaks down what Democrats must do after Tuesday's wins to sustain momentum, and why it's too soon to write off MAGA voters entirely. From Venezuelan “drug boat” attacks to calls to end the filibuster, we expose how, in politics, you must always follow the money.

 Bannon Warns MAGA Loyalists Will Be Jailed If GOP Loses Midterms & 2028 Presidential Election, Thousands More Flights Canceled Amid Gov't Shutdown, Muslims Declare New York An Islamic City & Much More

Recorded November 3rd, 2025. As we approach the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Anglo-Irish Agreement on 15 November 1985, Behind the Headlines returns to debate whether this was a crucial stepping stone on the path to peace, or a controversial stumbling block. Bringing together experts from across the island, the panel re-examines the Agreement before the Good Friday Agreement, discusses what was so controversial at the time, and debates its impact and legacy. In particular, it explores the response of Unionist and Loyalist communities in Northern Ireland, the political fallout, and the mass protest campaign that followed. The event was chaired by Professor Lindsey Earner-Byrne, Chair of Contemporary Irish History at Trinity College Dublin. Panel Dáithí Ó Ceallaigh, former Irish ambassador, who played a crucial role in the negotiation of the Agreement. Dr Shelley Deane, expert in Security and International Relations at the School of Law and Government in DCU and member of the ARINS project team.

Dimes and Judas discuss Canada passing a Bill that allows unlimited unrestricted chain migration, the consequences of Third World Communist Mamdani achieving the mandate of the people to rule New York City, and the recent sweeping land claim victory of Aboriginals in British Columbia that may put private homeowners on the street. After providing an overview of the wealth of untapped natural resources held hostage by the ineptest political apparatus on Earth, they begin a review of “The Fight for Canada: Four Centuries of Resistance to American Expansionism” by David Orchard. This book recounts the long history of American Manifest Destiny into Canada and the many attempts to control the North both militarily and politically, shining a light on the causes of Anti-Americanism that persist to this day. Lastly, on this edition of The Copepranos Society, we showcase the latest episode of “Do You Even Read” featuring Dimes and The Prudetialist, reviewing “The Hour of Decision” by Oswald Spengler. His last published work shortly before his death, Spengler presents a sobering analysis of the global revolutionary threats facing Europe and, from the vantage point of a pre-WW2 world, the consequences of allowing these revolutions to succeed.

The Democratic Alliance, DA has accused Higher Education Minister Buti Manamela of filling Sector Education and Training Authority boards with ANC loyalists. The DA says the appointments, announced 28 days after they were made, include former ANC mayors, members of provincial executive committees and youth league executives. Critics argue this perpetuates a pattern of using SETAs as "ANC sweet shops" undermining transparency and accountability. Elvis Presslin spoke to Karabo Khakhau, MP and DA Deputy Spokesperson on Higher Education

 President Donald Trump is facing pushback from some of his most loyal allies over his mass deportation policies. Voices like podcaster Joe Rogan and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene are publicly condemning the crackdown. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The appointments clause is enshrined in our Constitution.  Checks and balances and separation of powers are a part of our Country's DNA.  It's a system we have used for 250 years, designed to prevent abuse of power.  If we adhere to that system, then individual liberty is protected. But this administration daily demonstrates the dangerous view that the executive branch is all powerful.  In this case, it does an endrun around the constitution and laws to install loyalist US attorneys who will protect his friends and punish his enemies. Therefore, the people must pay attention, the lawyers must make every lawful objection, and the courts must send a strong and clear message to the president - comply with the law or face significant consequences.   IN THIS EPISODE: Explaining the illegal appointment issue; Why we believe this issue is NOT WAIVABLE by the defense, as it is a structural defect; and Why this is a constitutional crisis that every American should care about.   LINKS:  MOTION TO DISMISS.  To download a copy of the motion dismiss we just filed on this issue, go to the main page for this podcast at:   https://setforsentencing.com/podcast/llegals/

Virginia Governor Sir William Berkeley has fled to the Eastern Shore with a small group of loyalist planters and a detachment of perhaps only fifty armed men. Nathaniel Bacon has occupied Berkeley's estate near Jamestown, and dispatched men to capture loyalist ships anchored there. Bacon's "navy" has out in search of Berkeley, but Berkeley turned the tables in an audacious amphibious attack and grabbed control of the Bay and the rivers. While Bacon was mucking around in the Dragon Swamp hunting notionally allied Pamunkeys, Berkeley recaptured Jamestown. Loyalist victory seemed at hand, but Bacon forced Berkeley to retreat from Jamestown a second time in part by grabbing the wives of loyalist planters and using them as human shields, and this time the rebels burn it to the ground. At the end of the episode, it appears that the rebels had the upper hand. Little did they understand that the loyalist cause was far from lost, and the rebellion was, unbeknownst to anybody, on the brink of disaster. My Substack Check out the new merch store!

2025-10-16 | Silicon Wafers 030 | The Cracks Are Showing in the Russian economy. Loyalist economists on state TV now warn the economy is sliding into a hole the Kremlin can't paper over. Alarm bells inside Russia's own information space are ringing. We'll dig into the numbers—tax hikes, corporate losses, shuttered factories, and cash-starved regions—and why it matters for Putin's war machine.What Russia's own economists are saying. Let's start with what normally never breaks through the propaganda glaze. In recent weeks, pro-Kremlin economists on state channels have begun sounding like doomsayers. One TV guest fumed that the rules “keep changing,” and that the new tax rises will ripple through to ordinary people far beyond “two percent on the price tag” referencing the VAT hike. He warned the real hit at the till could be 10–20%, depending on the supply chain. Another economist was even blunter: “Real living standards will fall.” Why? Fuel and logistics feed into every product price, wages trail inflation, and now comes a heavier tax squeeze. ----------Partner on this video: KYIV OF MINE Watch the trailer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arJUcE1rxY0'Kyiv of Mine' is a documentary series about Ukraine's beautiful capital, Kyiv.

Success fatigue often makes leaders shrink back, fearing growth will look selfish. This episode reframes expansion as stewardship — showing how recalibration multiplies impact without betraying your past.Have you ever hesitated to grow because you worried it would look selfish — like you were leaving people behind or dishonoring what came before? For many high-capacity humans, that fear of “outgrowing” leads to role fatigue, decision fatigue, and the quiet exhaustion of holding back.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly reframes growth through the lens of stewardship. Drawing from her own tension in shifting from real estate into The Recalibration, and the story of Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes, Julie shows how expansion multiplies impact rather than diminishes it. Mycoskie's One-for-One model demonstrates that scaling isn't betrayal — it's fruitfulness that serves others at greater scale.From an Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) perspective, the fear of selfish growth often comes from outdated roles:Loyalist — believing you must stay the same to prove gratitude.Servant (distorted) — thinking sacrifice means never taking up more space.Protector — shrinking so others won't feel left behind.Neuroscience calls this dynamic predictive processing: the brain assumes expansion equals disconnection, so it resists change to preserve belonging. But ILR rewires that pattern. It retrains the nervous system to recognize that growth doesn't sever belonging — it strengthens it by multiplying fruit.Here's the mic-drop truth: Without recalibration, growth feels like guilt. With recalibration, growth feels like grace.This isn't another mindset tactic or productivity strategy. It's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective. If you're navigating identity drift, spiritual exhaustion, or the sense that success feels empty, this episode will give you a new frame for expansion — not as ego, but as stewardship.Today's Micro Recalibration:Where am I mistaking expansion for selfishness — when it's actually stewardship?How can I reframe growth as service, not ego?Who benefits when I expand into the fullness of my assignment?If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/24vspuan Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com Concerns about Loyalist violence over bilingual signage. Imní faoi fhoréigean Dilseoirí faoi chomharthaíocht dátheangach. Conradh na Gaeilge says the threats made by Loyalist paramilitaries at the weekend that Belfast City Council property will be destroyed if it has bilingual signage are a cause for great concern. Deir Conradh na Gaeilge gur cúis mhór imní iad na bagairtí a rinne paraimíleataigh Dílseora ag an deireadh seachtaine go scriosfar maoin de chuid Chomhairle Chathair Bhéal Feirste má bhíonn comharthaíocht dátheangach orthu. In an open letter from Conradh na Gaeilge and the Leaders of the Parties and the City Council, the League says that it is a cause for concern for everyone who supports the Irish language and equality in general. I litir oscailte ó Chonradh na Gaeilge agus ó Cheannairí na bPáirtithe agus ó Chomhairle na Cathrach deir an Conradh gur cúis imní é do gach duine a thacaíonn leis an Ghaeilge agus leis an chomhionannas trí chéile. The threat has been condemned by Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt. Tá an bhagairt cáinte ag ceannaire Aondachtóirí Uladh, Mike Nesbitt. A draft Irish language policy agreed by the Council would mean that Irish and English would be more prominent and side by side on all Council publications and property. Chiallaódh dréachtpholasaí Gaeilge atá aontaithe ag an Chomhairle go mbeadh an Ghaeilge agus an Béarla níos feiceálaí agus iad le taobh a chéile ar gach foilseachán agus maoin de chuid na Comhairle. But since the policy was adopted last Wednesday the UDA and UVF have threatened to destroy any property bearing the signage. Ach ó glacadh leis an pholasaí Dé Céadaoin seo caite tá an UDA agus UVF tar éis bagairt go scriosfaidh siad maoin ar bith a mbeidh an chomharthaíocht orthu. These paramilitary organisations told the Sunday Life newspaper that they would burn down Council vehicles and buildings if Irish was visible on them. Dúirt na heagrais paramíleatacha sin le nuachtán an Sunday Life go lasfadh siad feithiclí agus foirgnimh de chuid na Comhairle dá mbeadh an Ghaeilge le feiceáil orthu. Conradh na Gaeilge called on party leaders in Stormont to condemn the threat. D'iarr Conradh na Gaeilge ar cheannairí na bpáirtithe i Stormont an bhagairt a cháineadh. Irish Language Commissioner The new Irish Language Commissioner will be responsible for implementing the Identity and Language Act. Coimisinéir na Gaeilge Beidh dualgas ar an Choimisinéir úr Gaeilge an tAcht Féiniúlachta agus Teanga a chur i bhfeidhm. Yesterday on the X platform, the person nominated but not appointed to that position, Pól Deeds, said that the threat from the UDA and UVF is a result of the promotion of bigotry in the media - in particular, he said, the BBC. Inné ar an ardán X dúirt an té atá ainmnithe ach nach bhfuil ceaptha don phost sin, Pól Deeds, gur toradh í an bhagairt ón UDA agus UVF ar chur chun cinn na biogóideachta sna meáin - go háirithe a dúirt sé an BBC. Paul Deeds said the Executive Office in Stormont had failed to protect its own policy - and UK law - and was failing in its duty of care to the new Commissioner. Dúirt Pól Deeds gur theip ar Oifig an Fheidhmeannais i Stormont a bpolasaí féin - agus dlí na Ríochta Aontaithe - a chosaint agus go bhfuil siad ag teip ina ndualgas cúraim don Choimisinéir úr. The threats from Loyalists have only been condemned by one Unionist party, the Ulster Unionists (UUP). Níl na bagairtí ó Dhílseoirí cáinte ach ag pairtí Aondachtach amháin, Aondachtóirí Uladh an UUP. Their leader Mike Nesbitt said that the Irish language signage needs to be discussed further, and he said that any threat to Council workers should be withdrawn. Dúirt a gceannaire Mike Nesbitt go gcaithfear an chomharthaíocht i nGaeilge a phlé tuilleadh, agus dúirt sé gur cheart bagairt ar bith ar oibrithe na Comhairl...

5. Battling the Smallpox Pandemic: Dr. Bond and Washington's Strategic Inoculation Author: Patrick O'Donnell Book Title: The Indispensables: The Diverse Soldier Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington across the Delaware The Revolutionary War unfolded under the shadow of a smallpox pandemic. The virus devastated Marblehead after being brought in by fishing ships. Initial quarantine efforts failed, but Dr. Nathaniel Bond promoted inoculation. This dangerous 18th-century technique involved intentionally introducing a small amount of the virus into the body to create antibodies. Patriot efforts to establish an inoculation hospital on remote Cat Island were met with political violence when Loyalists organized a mob to storm the jail and torch the hospital while people were still inside. Later, following the Trenton and Princeton campaigns, the virus became a catastrophic threat, infecting and killing nearly 20% of Washington's army. Recognizing that the virus could destroy his fighting capability, Washington made the strategic decision to order Dr. Bond to establish inoculation hospitals. Bond set up these facilities and personally conducted inoculations, a move considered Washington's greatest strategic decision. Dr. Bond, who had once been ostracized for treating British soldiers, ultimately died as a result of his service to the Continental Army, having saved it through inoculation.

The Debate to Burn New York: Washington Regrets Obeying Congressional Order Against Arson Professor Benjamin L. Carp, Professor of History at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center | The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution Following defeat at Long Island, Washington's forces escaped to Manhattan. The British Howe brothers hesitated, offering pardons and hoping for reconciliation. The debate over burning intensified: General Nathanael Greene advocated burning (September 5), but Congress President John Hancock ordered Washington to prevent it (September 6). Washington later confessed this refusal was a "terrible error," as burning would have deprived the British of critical winter quarters.

Otis risked his career and safety by challenging the British Crown's abuse of power and defending the right to speak freely against tyranny.

From colonial Boston to today's battles over free expression, this episode reveals why protecting the right to speak truth remains essential to America's survival. Episode Highlights James Otis Jr.'s legendary courtroom speech against writs of assistance and how it inspired John Adams.

When we think of the American Revolution, we often focus on the patriots who fought for independence. But what about the Loyalists—those who chose to remain faithful to the British crown? In this episode, we revisit a thought-provoking conversation with historian Brad Jones of Fresno State University, author of Resisting Independence: Popular Loyalism in the Revolutionary British Atlantic. Brad challenges the long-held view of Loyalists as passive or fearful, instead revealing Loyalism as a vibrant political identity shaped by faith, governance, and a broader sense of British belonging.  Listen as we explore: Why the Revolution was also a civil war among neighbors. How Protestantism influenced Loyalist thought. What loyalty meant across the diverse communities of the British Atlantic.  This episode offers a deeper, more nuanced view of the Revolution—and the people who resisted it.Brad's Website | Book |Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/330RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

Anatol Lieven explains that Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus is a Soviet loyalist, not a Putin stooge, but was driven to Russia by Western sanctions. He discusses Russian drone incursions into Poland, likely an intentional message to NATO to test air defenses and warn against deploying troops to Ukraine. Russia may also seek to maintain Belarus firmly in its orbit by disrupting its multi-vector foreign policy initiatives, particularly any attempts at détente with the West.

Slavery's Fugitives and the Making of the United States Constitution (LSU Press, 2024) unearths a long-hidden factor that led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. While historians have generally acknowledged that patriot leaders assembled in response to postwar economic chaos, the threat of popular insurgencies, and the inability of the states to agree on how to fund the national government, Timothy Messer-Kruse suggests that scholars have discounted Americans' desire to compel Britain to return fugitives from slavery as a driving force behind the convention. During the Revolutionary War, British governors offered freedom to enslaved Americans who joined the king's army. Thousands responded by fleeing to English camps. After the British defeat at Yorktown, American diplomats demanded the surrender of fugitive slaves. When British generals refused, several states confiscated Loyalist estates and blocked payment of English creditors, hoping to apply enough pressure on the Crown to hand over the runaways. State laws conflicting with the 1783 Treaty of Paris violated the Articles of Confederation--the young nation's first constitution--but Congress, lacking an executive branch or a federal judiciary, had no means to obligate states to comply. The standoff over the escaped slaves quickly escalated following the Revolution as Britain failed to abandon the western forts it occupied and took steps to curtail American commerce. More than any other single matter, the impasse over the return of enslaved Americans threatened to hamper the nation's ability to expand westward, develop its commercial economy, and establish itself as a power among the courts of Europe. Messer-Kruse argues that the issue encouraged the founders to consider the prospect of scrapping the Articles of Confederation and drafting a superseding document that would dramatically increase federal authority--the Constitution.

From December 27, 2023: The Supreme Court last month heard oral arguments in United States v. Rahimi, in which the Court will decide the constitutionality of a federal law that criminalizes the possession of firearms by individuals on whom state courts have imposed domestic violence protective orders. This case came to the Court following its June 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. In that case, the Court determined that whether a law violates the Second Amendment depends on whether there is a “representative historical analogue” for the contemporary law. Amanda Tyler, the Shannon Cecil Turner Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, argued in a recent article in Lawfare that the many laws disarming loyalists that existed at the time of the Founding serve as a set of “historical analogues” required by Bruen to demonstrate the constitutionality of the statute at issue in Rahimi—a claim which has been disputed by Rahimi's lawyers. Lawfare Research Fellow Matt Gluck sat down with Tyler to discuss the Rahimi case, the nature of the Founding-era laws that stripped loyalists of their firearms, whether loyalists were members of the American political community, why that question matters for the Court's ruling in Rahimi, and more.
