Regime Leader Joe Biden is expecting to go all in on abortion, while on the campaign trail. The demoncrat party and the cult of death will not be denied their sacrament, so "they" will push the abortion agenda for this election cycle.  Mike Church says the tide is currently on the side of the cult of death.  He cites the recent abortion victories in Red States and the overall push back on the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v Wade. Mike Church reveals what we need to do to combat the demoncrats plan to nationalize the right to kill in 2024.  Mike exposes the people behind the agenda and he explains why the Republicans need to do more than just promise or make a ruckus about abortion.  What actions do the Republicans and Conservative need to do, listen to this episode of the New Christendom Daily to find out.

The train derailment disaster in East Palestine, Ohio catapulted the degraded condition of the US's freight rail network into national consciousness. But workers have been sounding the alarm for years. Long hours, short staffs, poor sick leave, and dangerously extended trains have raised the risks inherent in railroad operations for workers and the public in order to fatten the profit margins of corporate rail carriers. While the Department of Transportation has called for stricter regulation in the wake of East Palestine and other recent disasters, rank-and-file workers say it's not enough. The problem is not simply one of inadequate regulation, but the power of private, profit-driven interests to shape what is ultimately public infrastructure. Thus comes the call to nationalize the railroads. But how might this be accomplished, and how effectively can it solve the problems plaguing the rail system today? Journalist and professor Kari Lyderson and former Railroad Workers United General Secretary Ron Kaminkow join TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez to discuss current issues in the US rail system, and the potential solutions nationalization could offer.Kari Lyderson is a Chicago-based journalist, author and assistant professor at Northwestern University, where she leads the investigative specialization at the Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications. She is the author of numerous books, including Mayor 1%: Rahm Emanuel and the Rise of Chicago's 99% and Closing the Cloud Factories: Lessons from the Fight to Shut Down Chicago's Coal Plants. Until recently, Ron Kaminow served as General Secretary of Railroad Workers United. Prior to hiring out as a brakeman with Conrail in 1996, he served as President of AFSCME Local 634 in Madison, Wisconsin. In 2005, Kaminkow helped to found Railroad Operating Crafts United (ROCU), an RWU predecessor. A former brakeman, conductor, and engineer for Conrail and later NS in Chicago, he formerly worked for Amtrak in Milwaukee and Chicago. He currently is working as an Amtrak engineer in Reno, Nevada, where he is the Vice President of BLET Local 51.Studio Production: David HebdenPost-Production: Adam ColeyHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Instead, he exposes a process that could forever change how we vote in all future elections. Remember this admission from Time magazine just a month after Joe Biden took office: “A well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.” These are THEIR WORDS. A “cabal” influencing the election kind of sounds EXACTLY like what Democrats accuse Republicans of doing.

Nationalize or Not?: Matthew Continetti and Chris DeMuth Debate the Future of Conservatism

Matthew Continetti is the author of the new book The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism, an extensively researched and reported history of the conservative movement in America. Chris DeMuth is a former president of the American Enterprise Institute and currently a fellow at the Hudson Institute. In this conversation, DeMuth states that national conservatives (or “NatCons”) “are conservatives who have been mugged by reality. We have come away with a sense of how to recover from the horrors taking America down.” Continetti counters —in a typically conservative argument— that there is no need for NatCons to break away from the traditional movement, since they're all in the same boat and agree on most of the important issues of the day. The elephant in the room in this debate is former president Donald Trump. What he says and does in the next year or two will be crucial toward determining the future direction of the conservative movement. Continetti and DeMuth agree on that. Recorded on May 14, 2022

With the public discourse centered on high gas prices and the climate crisis is looming bigger than ever, it seems odd that the left is silent on a solution that could deliver big benefits to direct consumers and, well, everyone who enjoys a habitable earth. What does the Tennessee Valley Authority teach us about state-owned energy projects? What should we learn from the Obama-era nationalization of GM? We've done before, other countries, like Sweden, do it all the time, so why is the idea of "nationalization" such a bete noir -- especially among the left? Matt Bruenig, returning to the podcast, is the founder of the People's Policy Project think tank. Johanna Bozuwa, co-manager of the climate and energy program at Democracy Collaborative, has written a detailed paper on how we can actually "nationalize this."  Subscribe to Bad Faith on YouTube to access our full video library.

We break down how the administration's entry into Putin's Iran Nuclear Deal, flirtation with Venezuelan oil imports, and staunch refusal to become energy independent is hurting the economy, the environment, and the image America projects to the world. Is it really an Iranian nuclear deal if it includes lifting sanctions on Russia? We also review the lowlights of a very non-memorable State of the Union.

In this episode, Nick Merrill, a research fellow at the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, makes a cybersecurity case for nationalizing major CDNs such as Cloudflare, issues some pretty stark warnings about the dangers of machine learning, and digs into why stereotypical images of hackers in hoodies doesn't help anyone. His viewpoints are sobering if not controversial and worth listening to for anyone who cares about the future of the global internet. ---------Why you should listen:* Get a fresh perspective on some of the biggest risks to the global web: unchecked algorithmic bias, the risk of attacks on massive CDNs, and the growing internet fragmentation.* Consider some of the boldest ideas from one of the sharpest thinkers when it comes to how policymakers can make fundamental changes to protect the internet.* Hear Nick's take on why art matters in cybersecurity -- and why stereotypical images of hackers in hoodies harm the public's perceptions of information security. * Learn more about Fairness, Accountability and Transparency in Machine Learning and the growing movement to look more critically at the hidden algorithms that control the internet and much of technology today. * Consider how ransomware takedowns and other large-scale cyberattacks such as Colonial Pipeline erode public trust in technology.* Get a better understanding of why diversity in the cybersecurity industry matters when it comes to identifying real-world threats.---------Key Quotes:* “That power over the internet is like a huge strategic asset for the U.S. It's analogous to controlling global trade.”* “Imagine a Stuxnet level attack on Cloudflare.”* “I would nationalize Cloudflare. I would make it like a national publicly-run utility company.”* “This word ‘hacker' got so diluted. It means different things to different people. And it became this totally useless way for describing what's actually happening in security.” * “The future of cybersecurity … is the future of machine learning.”* “The real risk of ransomware is just that it freaks people out.” ---------Related Links:* Synack.com* https://nickmerrill.substack.com/about* iSchool (Berkeley) Bio* https://www.synack.com/lp/enterprise-security-testing-101* https://cltc.berkeley.edu/* https://daylight.berkeley.edu/* https://www.codedbias.com/* https://www.fatml.org/
