In this episode, Dan traces the origins of the Seven Years' War, starting with a seemingly-insignificant skirmish commanded by a young George Washington. This 1754 clash between British and French colonial forces will eventually turn into a global conflict. But what are the stakes in North America? Why are the French and the British willing to risk a world war? And why will these far-flung events lead to a global war? Here's how it all got started.

Smith starts us with a wonderful invocation. It gets a little morbid, but Smith tells us about a classic country song: Bury Me Under That Durian Tree. Joe invokes Marty Robbins. Smith wants to know the difference between light and heavy petting. Good thing Joe learned about it in seminary. The guys detour into more Pavement talk. Joe's #1 fave Pave-cast is Meeting Malkmus: A Pavement Podcast. A close second: Stuff You Should Know. Smith contends that Malkmus is in the top 5 of the top 10 of something. The same goes for his favorite R.E.M. podcasts. Joe reads a reddit meme from Smith. The guys love to talk about not liking themselves. Joe has an ant update, and Smith has an update from Who-ville. Smith is not yet ready to return and report about the JS apology from last week. Joe discovers that he can see things in JS that he doesn't like about himself. Joe wants to do a proxy B for PSH. Joe pitches the idea that proxy O's should include the cause of death. Smith gets a little conspiratorial about what the LDS app is tracking and who is looking.  The guys are not good at jazz scatting. Joe shares his version of a Simpsons quote. Smith reads a headline about the church covering up sexual abuse. Smith still hasn't seen Zodiac (2007). Smith asserts that the systems in place in the church are a breeding ground for grooming. The guys quickly veer off into the Potterverse. Joe bears his testimony of the everlasting message from the Fab 4 about love, and he's not stoned.  Joe points out why it's not fun to read the Isaiah chapters on J&SP:RtBOMWU which is that JS did not write them. Is grad school regalia Satan's counterfeit of the temple ceremony? Are drugs Satan's counterfeit of the priesthood power? Joe points out that the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected to white male privilege. Smith feels dumb sometimes, but he isn't. Joe found a scholarly article where the author asserts that JS did not, in fact,plagiarize Isaiah. Smith asserts that the author's argument is sometimes referred to in the church as ‘justifying your own sin'. Smith reminds us that morals don't come from religion. Joe tells the story “he would tell you that he is happy” about a friend's apostate family member. The talk about how some of their religious trauma involves feeling like they don't deserve happiness now because they're not following the church. Smith casually refers to himself as a trainwreck and Joe reminds him that it's the mormons who taught him that he was a trainwreck, not the gentiles. Smith still has a family member who treats him as if he was a trainwreck. Joe concedes that he had a genuine laugh a the John BTFW video on this chapter. Who's talents are being wasted on the BOM? Meeting Malkmus - a Pavement podcast Stuff You Should Know Podcast  Glenn Ostland's JS Apology (start around 19 min in) Seven Years of Sex Abuse: How Mormon Officials Let it Happen Brother Jake Explains: Book of Mormon Translation (feat. seer stone) Was Joseph Smith Guilty of Plagiarism?

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on a case of sexual abuse involving the Mormon church.

President Joe Biden has announced that al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Kabul. Biden is hailing the operation as delivering “justice” while expressing hope that it brings “one more measure of closure” to families of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Kansas is having the first test of voters' feelings since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade. Its voters were deciding Tuesday whether to allow state lawmakers to further restrict or ban abortion. The measure is a proposed anti-abortion amendment to the Kansas Constitution and voting on it coincided with the state's primary, when the electorate typically skews conservative and Republican. The Supreme Court has certified its month-old ruling allowing the Biden administration to end a cornerstone Trump-era border policy to make asylum-seekers wait in Mexico for hearings in U.S. immigration court. The sparse entry records that justices voted 5-4 that the administration could scrap the “Remain in Mexico” policy, overruling a lower court that forced the policy to be reinstated in December. The Ohio Supreme Court has upheld the death penalty for a man convicted of killing a couple whose house and dog he was caring for while they were away on vacation. Death row inmate George Brinkman was convicted of the 2017 deaths of Rogell and Roberta John and sentenced to death by a three-judge Stark County panel. A Texas man convicted of storming the U.S. Capitol with a holstered handgun, helmet and body armor has been sentenced to seven years and three months in prison. The sentence imposed Monday is the longest so far among hundreds of Capitol riot cases. New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge hits another home run, lots of trades in major league baseball, and Deshaun Watson gets a six game suspension. Another round of rainstorms are hitting flooded Kentucky mountain communities. The rain fell Monday as more bodies emerged from the sodden landscape, and the governor warned that high winds could bring another threat — falling trees and utility poles. Thirty people have already been killed amid the rising water, and hundreds of others remain unaccounted for. Gov. Andy Beshear said that death toll does not include some recently recovered bodies. California officials say two bodies were found inside a charred vehicle in a driveway in the wildfire zone of a raging blaze that is among several menacing thousands of homes in the western U.S. The McKinney Fire in Northern California was burning out of control Monday in Klamath National Forest. The Department of Housing and Urban Development is providing $2.8 billion in fresh funding for homeless services organizations across the country. Gas prices have been falling, but for how long? Prices are below $4 gallon in more than half the gas stations around the country. But as prices decrease, demand may increase and slow prices from falling further. Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson was suspended for six games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy following accusations of sexual misconduct made against him by two dozen women in Texas during massage treatments. The White House is making more than $1 billion available to states to address flooding and extreme heat exacerbated by climate change. Vice President Kamala Harris is set to announce the grant programs Monday at an event in Miami with the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other officials. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is proposing new regulations that would force food processors to reduce the amount of salmonella bacteria found in some raw chicken products or risk shutdowns. The proposed USDA rules announced Monday would declare salmonella an adulterant — a contaminant that can cause food-borne illness — in breaded and stuffed raw chicken products. The Vatican says Pope Francis will travel next month to Kazakhstan. It's possible that he could meet there with Patriarch Kirill, the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church who has justified Moscow's war in Ukraine. The first ship carrying Ukrainian grain has set out from the port of Odesa. The departure of the ship laden with corn follows an internationally brokered deal that is expected to finally allow large stores of Ukrainian crops to reach foreign markets and ease a growing hunger crisis. The Major League Baseball trade deadline is always a stressful time of year for the league's 30 general managers. Add COVID-19 vaccination status to the list of concerns. The Toronto Blue Jays have the toughest constraints as the only team in Canada. Federal regulators are giving Boeing the green light to soon resume deliveries of its big 787 airliner. That's according to a person familiar with the situation who talked to The Associated Press on Saturday. Boeing has been forced to stop deliveries of the 787, which it calls the Dreamliner, for most of the last two years because of production problems. —The Associated PressSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is a growing interest in understanding the “ownership interests hypothesis,” i.e., whether investors holding interests in competing firms will soften firms' incentives to compete and generate anticompetitive effects. But what do the data show?

There are a couple references in this title that are relevant to the subject matter in this episode.  First and foremost, Rob announced a release that he collab'd on which has come and gone by the time this episode was edited.  Sorry Rob.  Can't wait to try that delicious beer when we see you again!  Secondly, Rob and Tom talked about a "patriot", not an actual patriot such as Abraham Lincoln, but rather a modern day patriot...also commonly referred to as a disgruntled jackass.  We'd like to thank "The Beer Patriot" for providing some much needed content albeit at his own expense....cheers to that clown.  Moving on, how much is that doggie in the beer group?  Want to find out...tune in!  All this and more, including baby formula c+s offers (these are the real patriots) and local and national releases!  Sorry for the slightly delayed episode,,,,we hope you all enjoy!

In 2006 Larry and Hannah Overton fell in love with a little boy at their church. His name was Andrew.  Andrew was a foster child that the Overtons felt a great desire to provide a home for and to "become his forever family." He would be their sixth child, an addition to their five biological children.  A few short months later tragedy struck and their world was turned upside down.  Andrew went home to be with Jesus when he passed away from a rare medical condition called Hypernatremia. This condition caused very high, fatal levels of sodium in his body.  This sorrowful tragedy was compounded when Larry and Hannah were accused and charged in Andrews death.  On September 7, 2007 Hannah was convicted of capital murder and sent to a maximum security prison for life without the possibility of parole for a crime she didn't commit. This would leave Larry at home to care for their other 5 children. During Hannah's time in prison God not only held her and her family in His hands but also used this trial in mighty ways.  After seven years of imprisonment, Hannah was exonerated and all charges were dropped on April 8th, 2015. On May 10th, 2017, Hannah was declared actually innocent! During this span, many have come to the Lord and the ministry is continually growing.  Although Hannah is home with her family, Hebrews 13:3 reminds her to "remember those in prison as if you were there with them." She and her husband founded Syndeo Ministries, a non-profit organization focused on helping women who are incarcerated and transitioning out of prison. For more information visit http://www.syndeoministries.comTo follow What's Your Story on Instagram visit http://www.instagram.com/whatsyourstory.podcastHannah Conway is a Lifeway author, a speaker and a women's ministry director in her local church.

Ellis, Ph.D.    Hardcover – September 21, 2021  https://www.amazon.com/Cause-American-Revolution-Discontents-1773-1783/dp/1631498983 • New York Times Book Review ― Editors' Choice • Chicago Tribune ― "60 Best Reads for Right Now" • St. Louis Post-Dispatch ― "50 Fall Books You Should Consider Reading" A culminating work on the American founding by one of its leading historians, The Cause rethinks the American Revolution as we have known it. In one of the most “exciting and engaging” (Gordon S. Wood) histories of the American founding in decades, the Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Joseph J. Ellis offers an epic account of the origins and clashing ideologies of America's revolutionary era, recovering a war more brutal, and more disorienting, than any other in our history, save perhaps the Civil War. For more than two centuries, historians have debated the history of the American Revolution, disputing its roots, its provenance and, above all, its meaning. These questions have intrigued Ellis―one of our most celebrated scholars of American history―throughout his entire career. With this much-anticipated volume, he at last brings the story of the revolution to vivid life, with “surprising relevance” (Susan Dunn) for our modern era. Completing a trilogy of books that began with Founding Brothers, The Cause returns us to the very heart of the American founding, telling the military and political story of the war for independence from the ground up and from all sides: British and American, loyalist and patriot, white and Black. Taking us from the end of the Seven Years' War to 1783, and drawing on a wealth of previously untapped sources, The Cause interweaves action-packed tales of North American military campaigns with parlor-room intrigues back in England, creating a thrilling narrative that brings together a cast of familiar and long-forgotten characters. Here Ellis recovers the stories of Catharine Littlefield Greene, wife of Major General Nathanael Greene, the sister among the “band of brothers”; Thayendanegea, a Mohawk chief known to the colonists as Joseph Brant, who led the Iroquois Confederation against the Patriots; and Harry Washington, the enslaved namesake of George Washington, who escaped Mount Vernon to join the British Army and fight against his former master.

Photo:  Here: Black Loyalist fighting against the Americans One of George Washington's slaves was Harry Washington. Harry was born on the Gambia River in West Africa around 1740, and was sold into slavery sometime before 1763. George Washington purchased him in 1763 to originally work at the Great Dismal Swamp (located in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina), where he had set up a company to drain 40,000 acres of the swamp and start logging trees to build homes and businesses. However, three years later, he transferred Harry to his massive plantation estate, Mt. Vernon, in Virginia, to be a ‘house slave' serving the role of horse groom. At the American Revolution, Harry Washington joined England to fight against his American slaveholder.  At the end oof the wear, he emigrated to Canada, Henry Washington took a British ship to Nova Scotia (as did two other former Mount Vernon slaves, a man and a woman).[4][5] He then spent several years, in Birchtown, Canada, (the largest free African-American city in North America), where he married Jenny, and began to plan for their future. He and his wife joined the 1,192 black colonists who migrated to Sierra Leone, West Africa (see Nova Scotian Settlers), where he planned to begin a farm making use of the scientific farming techniques he had learned at Mount Vernon.  In 1800 Washington was among several hundred settlers who rose up in a brief rebellion against British rule there. The precipitating issue was one familiar from the American Revolution: taxes. The settlers were required by the Sierra Leone Company, which ran the colony for the British government, to pay taxes, or quitrents, for the use of their land; the land itself remained the property of the company. The settlers formed a provisional government and wrote up a set of laws, which they nailed to the office door of a company administrator. The Sierra Leone Company responded by sending a corps of recently arrived black Jamaicans against the rebels. In the trials that followed the defeat of the rebellion, Henry Washington was among the rebels sentenced to banishment to Bullom Shore another location in Sierra Leone,  where he became one of the two leaders of a new settlement, and where he subsequently died. His descendants and those of other African Americans make up a portion of the Sierra Leone Creole people. ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  . .  5/8  The Cause: The American Revolution and its Discontents, 1773-1783, by  Joseph J.

Taking us from the end of the Seven Years' War to 1783, and drawing on a wealth of previously untapped sources, The Cause interweaves action-packed tales of North American military campaigns with parlor-room intrigues back in England, creating a thrilling narrative that brings together a cast of familiar and long-forgotten characters. Here Ellis recovers the stories of Catharine Littlefield Greene, wife of Major General Nathanael Greene, the sister among the “band of brothers”; Thayendanegea, a Mohawk chief known to the colonists as Joseph Brant, who led the Iroquois Confederation against the Patriots; and Harry Washington, the enslaved namesake of George Washington, who escaped Mount Vernon to join the British Army and fight against his former master.

In one of the most “exciting and engaging” (Gordon S. Wood) histories of the American founding in decades, the Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Joseph J. Ellis offers an epic account of the origins and clashing ideologies of America's revolutionary era, recovering a war more brutal, and more disorienting, than any other in our history, save perhaps the Civil War. For more than two centuries, historians have debated the history of the American Revolution, disputing its roots, its provenance and, above all, its meaning. These questions have intrigued Ellis―one of our most celebrated scholars of American history―throughout his entire career.
