Trump posted this message on all of his social media...

Jonathan Drake begins a new series with the first episode of his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's An Essay on the Trial by Jury, framing it as the next critical pillar in understanding natural law after concluding No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. He walks through Spooner's argument that true liberty depends on juries judging not just facts, but the justice of laws themselves, placing ultimate authority in the hands of the people rather than the state. Jonathan traces the ancient roots of trial by jury through English common law, the Magna Carta, and the American founding, contrasting “trial by country” with modern courtrooms that function as trials by government. Using the Tina Peters case as a modern example, he explains how judicial control of evidence and jury instruction has hollowed out the system while preserving its appearance. This episode lays the philosophical groundwork for why jury nullification, unanimity, and random selection are essential safeguards against despotism, and why reclaiming this knowledge may be one of the last peaceful checks on unchecked power.

Then inadvertently wake an Ettin as Li'High communicates from the cliff that she wants K'thriss to join her. He tries to talk her down when another voice declares ownership of Li'High, and she disappears. The heroes do their best to track her to no avail. They decide to return and bury the corpse of Boros. Back at the caravan, Gunner notices one of the cultists recognizes him, and then points to a bracelet that a child has. Seemingly trying to start a problem, the cultists were let down as the heroes politely reclaim the bracelet and pay the travelers for it. That night, the cultists try to kill the party, but K'thriss informs on them, and the heroes overcome them. This does, however, create a problem. If they are known to be in the caravan still, the cultists might continue assassination attempts, alternatively, it also may blow up K'thriss' position. They decide to stay out of the caravan and follow to Witdel. Now at the town, a new hero joins the caravan, a Kagonesti paladin, a female gnome, and a male human with red tattoos he seems to be covering up on his head. This human joins the cultists caravan, and the gnome Jamna Gleamsilver offers to work with the heroes and the new Paladin, then a dead cultist body is found and the caravan, now under way to the next destination, it once again, in an upheaval.

Dr. Jerome Corsi takes a deep historical dive into Walter Duranty, the New York Times reporter who was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for reporting that was later exposed as propaganda for one of the most brutal regimes in human history. This is an encore presentation.Duranty served not as a journalist, but as Josef Stalin's public relations agent, producing glowing, fictionalized accounts of life inside the Soviet Union while deliberately concealing the truth about mass repression, political terror, and the Holodomor — the engineered starvation that killed millions of Ukrainians.Dr. Corsi exposes:

AgNet News Hour Featuring Master of Wine Tim Hanni On today's AgNet News Hour, host Nick Papagni—the Ag Meter—sat down with Master of Wine, author, consultant, and sensory-science educator Tim Hanni for a candid and eye-opening conversation about the state of the wine industry. From outdated marketing strategies to consumer shaming and changing demographics, Hanni breaks down why wine sales are struggling—and what needs to happen to bring new drinkers into the category. Why Wine Marketing Is Broken Hanni argues that wine isn't struggling because consumers lack education—it's because the industry refuses to adapt. He compares traditional wine marketing to the early days of computers, when users had to learn DOS and adapt to the machine. Just as Steve Jobs introduced an intuitive interface, Hanni says wine needs a new, accessible consumer interface. Instead of telling consumers what they should like, the industry must embrace what people already enjoy—including sweet wines, canned wines, and alternative styles. Sweet Wine Drinkers Deserve a Seat at the Table For decades, sweet-wine drinkers have been shamed by wine professionals. Hanni explains that preference for sweetness is often biological, not a lack of sophistication. People with more taste buds experience bitterness more intensely—which often pushes them toward sweeter, fruitier wines. The industry's refusal to acknowledge these consumers has pushed many away from wine altogether, especially younger generations. The Tyranny of the Experts Hanni criticizes the “vertical hierarchy” of wine culture—educators, and critics dictating what's good or bad. This mindset drives consumers toward spirits and ready-to-drink beverages, where shoppers can simply buy what tastes good without judgment. He says wine lists, especially in steakhouses, often eliminate the fun. Instead of telling people what pairs best, Hanni encourages restaurants to offer variety, playfulness, and personalization. Attracting New Wine Drinkers Younger consumers shop differently, cook differently, and think differently. Many love quality ingredients and home cooking but feel intimidated by traditional wine culture. Canned wines, approachable styles, and easy entry points aren't “dumbing down”—they're breaking down barriers. Wine Tasting Should Be Fun—Not a Test Hanni encourages wineries to rethink their tasting room approach. He says experiences should be centered on data collection, discovery, and enjoyment, not lectures. Innovative tasting formats can help wineries understand consumer preferences and build loyalty. The Real Threat: Not Technology, But Lack of Consumers While automation, new vineyard tech, and sustainability are important, Hanni says none of it matters without drinkers. A global oversupply of wine—from Europe to Australia—means the market is competitive like never before. Success will come from meeting consumers where they are, not pushing old narratives about wine, terroir, or prestige. The Big Fix: Stop Shaming, Start Engaging If Hanni were “President of Wine,” his first move would be eliminating consumer shaming overnight. He believes the industry must: Offer wines for all taste profiles Stop rigid wine-and-food dogma Build inclusive wine lists Celebrate sweet wines as legitimate Encourage experimentation at home and restaurants Connect with consumers across all price points This shift, he says, would be as game-changing as the transition from DOS to the modern GUI. Tim Hanni's Book & Contact Listeners can find Hanni's book, “Why You Like the Wines You Like,” on Amazon. He welcomes questions at tim@timhanni.com. Final Thoughts Hanni leaves the industry with a clear message: wine has a future—but only if it stops talking to itself and starts listening to consumers. With young drinkers exploring diverse beverages, the opportunity lies in embracing individuality, breaking outdated rules, and making wine fun again.

The interpretation of Romans 7 is disputed among Bible scholars. In particular, is Paul talking about a Christian or a person before they become a Christian? And what difference does one's understanding of that make on what the text means? A key to understanding this chapter is remaining aware of what came just before it and what follows after. In the end, either view will lead us to love Jesus more for all He had done for sinners!

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the agenda to collapse (or allow to collapse) the grid as we enter the winter season with extremely cold temperatures set to hit the Northeastern United States and Canada. Cuba has seen their grid collapse 5 times this year and it should be a major warning to the US and Canada considering both countries are dependent on a grid that is 70 years outdated. Similarly, so is Cuba's. So why be complacent when it's happening to Cuba? As Canada is set to be the coldest place on earth later this month, the government always uses extreme weather, whether natural or not, cold or heat, in order to bring about emergency orders based in fear. The grid is outdated by design. Once we see a major collapse, we can expect the new ration based grid system so often talked about at the UN to be launched. In fact, COP30 has demanded $1.3 trillion a hear and $3.2 trillion by 2035 at the recent event. This perfectly aligns with the technocratic goals set to be used on the occasion of a grid failure. They want carbon credits. They want social credits. They want digital IDs. They want rations. They need an emergency to enforce such a thing. The United Narions' Pact For The Future which was signed off on by 193 countries in September 2024 allows under the guise of an emergency for governments to shut your bank account and force you into a ration based system. Saskatchewan's enforced Emergency Planning Act sections 18 and 18.1 allow the government under an emergency declaration to control your food, use or destroy your property, imprison you, seize livestock and medically intervene in your life however they please. Why would any of this be signed off on if it's never to be used? They are utilizing these emergency situations to enforce incredibly destructive technocratic policies as we see food shortages, manufactured cyber attacks, war, economic collapse, civil unrest, housing bubbles bursting and an overall grid dependency by most. Tyranny comes under the guise of convenience. It doesn't take much for the state to come in with a false solution to the problem they created in the first place which will surely make you far less free. Are you prepared for this situation?

Technology makes our lives better but it also createsopportunities for tyrants who want to rule and control. The Chinese socialcredit system is creating a blueprint for tyrants all over the world.

This week on the Let People Prosper Show, I sit down with someone who has lived enough life experience to fill three biographies: Dr. Meaghan Mobbs. She's a West Point grad, paratrooper, combat veteran of Afghanistan, clinical psychologist, humanitarian leader in Ukraine, national security advisor, and now one of the sharpest voices at the Independent Women's Forum. Her new report, Women and the West: Liberty, Tyranny, and True Liberal Values, is a wake-up call. It argues that women's rights are being quietly eroded inside the very societies that claim to be the most “progressive.” And she's right — something is slipping.This episode digs into the uncomfortable truth: freedom for women isn't collapsing in some distant corner of the world; it's being chipped away here at home under slogans like “equity,” “inclusion,” and “progress.” We talk about true liberalism (the good kind), the danger of what Meaghan calls “suicidal empathy,” why motherhood sharpened her perspective, and how Western civilization can still protect what made it great. It's an important conversation — and an encouraging one — at a moment when the West badly needs clarity.For more insights, visit vanceginn.com.

Note from the editor: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Messy Jesus Business podcast and blog schedule have been switched around this month. Check back the next two weeks for our final podcast episodes, with many more blog posts to follow!  Modern Christians often fail to discuss that the Christian Church was established during a time of widespread violence and persecution. Our creeds were drafted, faith traditions formed, and the community of believers expanded during a time when it was risky to declare that Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. We seem to forget that Christian devotion was never about being comfortable, cozy, or complacent.  We often fail to proclaim that living the Gospel, following The Way of Christ, is meant to be dangerous.  For about the first 300 years of Christianity, the Pax Christi (Peace of Christ) that Christians professed was in stark contrast to Pax Romana (Peace of Rome) that defined the structures of the Roman empire. The founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ, repeatedly told his followers to “be not afraid.” Meanwhile, the governmental structures of the time ruled through fear: controlling the populace with oppression by taxation, slavery, and ongoing threats and violence.  A read-through of the New Testament reminds the modern believer that the early Christians were not only dealing with violence and persecution, but they were filled with a fierce hope that Jesus Christ was about to return. (See 1 Peter 4; James 5:7-9; 2 Thessalonians 2; John 5:28-29; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 9:28 and elsewhere.) Let love be sincere; hate what is evil, hold on to what is good;love one another with mutual affection; anticipate one another in showing honor.Do not grow slack in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer.Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality.Bless those who persecute [you], bless and do not curse them.Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.Have the same regard for one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly; do not be wise in your own estimation.Do not repay anyone evil for evil; be concerned for what is noble in the sight of all.If possible, on your part, live at peace with all. --Romans 12:9-18 The early Church mothers and fathers were motivated to be moral because they wanted to be ready for Jesus' return, they wanted to be “caught doing good.” Their hope for Jesus' return motivated them to be generous, hospitable, prayerful, and bold in their acts of compassion, mercy, and justice, finding ways to include the outcast, the poor, ill, and migrants into their underground, subversive communities. They understood that those in need were the face of Christ.  Photo by Kenta Kikuchi on Unsplash Compare these foundations of Christianity to Advent in the United States nowadays. Christians often avoid the discomfort of our faith. Instead, we succumb to the cozy culture of commercialized Christmas: trendy décor, consumerism, waste, and general gluttony. See the examples of the silly and expensive so-called Advent calendars to see how far we have drifted from the Tradition of resisting the violence of empire and having hope in Jesus alone.  Nowadays, those who are comfortable feast on the festive feelings while gaps grow between rich and poor, families are torn apart, people are detained and tortured, and the US government protects the interests of billionaires and the war machine. Bombs are falling and systems are collapsing, yet we snuggle into the sofa to be numbed by sugared Hallmark holiday cheer.  Here's the thing: I like being cozy and comfortable too. I believe in the power of sabbath, rest, and retreat. And, during the Advent season, I love lighting candles, singing along with cheery music, baking cookies, writing cards and notes, and visiting people I love. When I pray at home during the Advent season, I'm usually snuggled into a fluffy blanket. I have more than enough to eat, and don't fear a raid, detention, or warfare. The calm and quiet is so ordinary, that I could easily take it for granted. If I am not staying awake, I could quickly cocoon into safety and avoidance. What is the nature of a soul that is waiting for the return of Jesus Christ? If we remain rooted in our faith tradition, Advent actions will move us from the sacred stillness to a spirit of bold generosity and compassion. We give up our plans and preferences for the sake of the other. I was reminded of this recently as I accompanied a couple people dear to me through surgeries and recoveries and then some Emergency Room visits. To be present and centered on what's most important– such as compassion for another—I had to adjust and be flexible, changing the date of a podcast interview and the release of an episode.This may not be a radical act, but it was a great reminder for me about the need to be ready, open, and available for whatever newness Christ is sending.  Photo by Duncan Shaffer on Unsplash As we wait and prepare for the coming of Christ, let's remember the faith of our ancestors who were resisting tyranny and oppression by staying devoted to nonviolent Christian love and accepting the cost of commitment. We even may need to expect persecution as we risk comfort for the sake of the other. Let's give what we can to those in need.  Let's not worry about what we will receive, or the fruits of our efforts; let's put our trust in God's goodness. And then, awake to Christ already with us and with hope in the coming of Christ, let's stay faithful to our mission to love.  For more by this author and more about Advent, visit our web site.

Off the Deep End is off the chain this week with their examination of Obsidian's often-forgotten RPG classic, Tyranny. Braden, Chris, and Adam take the long way around to discuss the game's strong writing, worldbuilding, and rules lawyer-ing, while also acknowledging the part where it's an Obsidian game and therefore is buggy and clearly unfinished! If you can tell which episodes have an outline and which ones don't, you'll be more than able to by the end of this one! I'm not sorry! Where's my New Vegas critical reevaluation of Tyranny, huh?

Whenever I see the US empire saying they plan to remove the latest Official Bad Guy from power in order to liberate a nation from tyranny, I always want to ask, what is tyranny? Is it tyranny to constantly topple foreign governments by force if their leaders disobey you? Is it tyranny to circle the planet with hundreds of military bases in order to dominate all of humanity? Is it tyranny to continuously be inflicting mass military slaughter, backing genocides, staging foreign coups, fomenting unrest and uprisings in foreign nations, meddling in foreign elections, funding proxy conflicts, imposing blockades and starvation sanctions on civilian populations, and engaging in nuclear brinkmanship in order to rule the world? Is it tyranny to treat the entire global south as your personal piggy bank from which to extract limitless labor and resources and murder anyone who tries to inhibit these practices through any movement toward national sovereignty? Reading by Tim Foley.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Venezuela's regime, allied with communist China, Iran, and others, is deliberately poisoning the U.S. through drugs, contributing to hundreds of thousands of American deaths, making inaction absurd. The war crime claims from Democrats, from a denied report on killing drug boat survivors, are ridiculous. This Venezuela situation is similar to the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama via Operation Just Cause—a surprise attack without war declaration or prior congressional input due to leak fears—to oust drug lord Manuel Noriega, who partnered with Colombians to flood the U.S. with drugs, while restoring democracy and safeguarding Americans.  Also, going forward, every Republican who wants our votes need to declare if they stand with or against Tucker Carlson. This isn't about Carlson, it's a litmus test for fundamental morality, ethics, principles, understanding of American history, and opposition to bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, attacks on Christianity, excuses for the Third Reich, and revisionist narratives portraying America or Churchill as villains.  There's an overlap between Marxist Islamists, and neo-fascists in condemning Judaism, Christianity, and the West, while failing to defend capitalism, free markets, the nation's founders, or its principles.  Later, the book "Liberty and Tyranny," critiques the statist argument for comprehensive immigration reform, which grants illegal immigrants' rights to enter illegally and remain, access welfare benefits like education, healthcare, housing, and food stamps, vote, and be counted in the census, all under the guise that America is a nation of immigrants. Today, almost 20 years later, this remains unchanged. No, immigrants do not have a right to come to America. Finally, parents need to encourage their children to compete, take jobs, work hard, and create opportunities rather than blaming a corrupt system. Success has never come easy for previous generations, including the greatest generation that endured wars and depression. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sarah Goodyear, Doug Gordon and Aaron Naparstek realized that no one was discussing the many cultural factors that have played a role in humanity's car dependency, or the negative impacts this reliance on motor vehicles has on human health and the planet. So they started their own show to do exactly that, The War on Cars. Gordon joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss just how human society got here — and how we might get ourselves out of it — which is also the subject of a new book he co-authored with Goodyear and Naparstek, Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile. "We felt that nobody was really covering the car as this overwhelming determinative force in the life of you as an individual, the life of society and nature, politics, culture, everything," he says. Take a minute to let us know what you think of our audio reporting, which you can do here. The Mongabay Newscast is available on major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify, and all previous episodes are accessible at our website's podcast page. Mike DiGirolamo is a host & associate producer for Mongabay based in Sydney. He co-hosts and edits the Mongabay Newscast. Find him on LinkedIn and Bluesky.

In 1661 fresh elections brought together another Long Parliament. This, the Cavalier parliament, would sit, off and on, for 18 years. It was not inspired by a spirit of compromise. The programme they introduced tried very hard to squish the horrid innovations of the revolutionary period back into the bottle, and search for the uniformity and 'natural' order of things that seemed to have been lost.

Shortly thereafter, a Niedar dwarf named Francis offers to buy the bracelet and the heroes become very suspicious, interrogating and taunting him. He ends up leaving and approaches Gunner offering to buy it one last time, and when rejected, he moves on. Later that day a mysterious fire is started as Boros quickly puts it out. The heroes begin to grow suspicious, as if there is a connection between the dwarf, the cultists and the fire. The next morning Gunner discovers his bracelet missing, and they immediately grow suspicious that it must be the dwarf. They make a plan to confront him, but instead, Li'High reveals she took one of the parcels that fell out of the crashed caravan a week back and opening it reveals a necklace. They offer it to the dwarf, but he is not trusting of the heroes after the way they treated him, and increasingly as they continue to pester him. Li'High leaves into the wilderness by herself and renounces her god Habbakuk, desiring to worship Chemosh, but not knowing how to make the connection with the new god while she is on the road, and inadvertently is connected by Morgion. She rebukes him, and they all continue to a roadhouse where they eat. Some local adventurers are hired to guard their old wagon in the caravan. They search some of the wagons and mark the cultist wagons for future reference, then they continue on for a few days ending up in a brutally cold rainstorm. They arrive at another road house only to be turned away, and the hired adventurers refuse to help. Li'High breaks into the upper level and is contacted by Morgion again, and this time accepts. He creates a half-cask of diseased ale which is unable to be refused. Upon touching it, she contracts the fatal disease but is protected as an agent of Morgion. She murders the people in the inn, then sets it on fire. While it’s burning she steals food from the inn, tossing it to Boros who contracts the same disease and dies with his friends watching, too afraid to approach and help him, believing they were helpless. Li'High flees into the wilderness, consumed by sorrow and an unwilling agent of Morgion.

Today:Sarah Goodyear and Doug Gordon of the War on Cars podcast join to discuss their new book "Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile"

The shocking truth behind the Baby Cyrus case reveals far more than a single family's nightmare — it exposes a nationwide system of medical kidnapping, government corruption, and taxpayer-funded child trafficking happening in America right now. In this urgent and emotional conversation, Michael Jaco sits down with Diego Rodriguez, grandfather of Baby Cyrus, to recount the day Idaho police, hospital personnel, and Child Protective Services worked together to forcibly seize his grandson without lawful cause. Diego explains how CPS, backed by federal incentive programs, has become a government-subsidized trafficking pipeline that profits every time a child is taken from their parents. Through firsthand testimony, documents, and hard-won experience, he paints a devastating picture of a system where doctors, social workers, and law enforcement act in coordination — not to protect children, but to remove them. Michael and Diego discuss the corrupt machinery behind medical targeting, the intimidation tactics used against parents, and the disturbing financial motives that allow CPS agencies across the country to seize children with little oversight or accountability. They also speak about the emotional toll on families, the legal obstruction victims face, and why cases like Baby Cyrus are only one small window into a much larger national crisis. This conversation connects directly to the new documentary Never in America by Ryan Matta, which exposes how government agencies, medical institutions, and law enforcement form a network that masquerades as “child protection” while enabling one of the darkest systems operating within the United States today. For anyone wanting to understand what is truly happening behind the scenes of CPS, medical kidnapping, and child trafficking in America, this dialogue is essential. It offers not just the truth, but a call to stand up, speak out, and support families caught in this predatory system.

This Thanksgiving episode traces God's extraordinary providence through the story of Squanto and the early Pilgrims, showing how liberty flourished only where the family, church, and state remained in their God-given jurisdictions. Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack connect that legacy to today's battles over compulsory schooling, in loco parentis, and the growing claim of the state upon our children. The Pilgrims fought for a vision of liberty rooted in Scripture. And that same freedom requires vigilant defense today.

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind as we hit the road (not in a car) to promote our new book, Life After Cars, in some of the greatest cities of North America including San Francisco, Washington, DC, Seattle, Vancouver, BC, Nanaimo, BC, Portland, OR, San Diego, and Los Angeles (as well as our home base of NYC, of course). Getting to visit all these cities in person, often walking and riding the streets accompanied by local advocates and elected officials, was a real joy and a privilege. We saw a lot! And maybe not surprisingly for a couple of podcasters, we had some thoughts about all of it—from excellent bike lanes and public spaces to transit service that left a lot to be desired and the horror that is Interstate 5.  Our tour continues!

In this America's Founding Series episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano tells the incredible true story of Samuel Whittemore, the nearly 79-year-old farmer and veteran who stood alone against British forces during the retreat from Lexington and Concord. With nothing but a musket, two pistols, and a sword, Whittemore launched a one-man assault against the world's most powerful army, surviving a shot to the face and thirteen bayonet wounds to live another eighteen years. His astonishing courage reveals the forgotten spirit of self-reliance, resilience, and civic duty that fueled the American Revolution and stands in stark contrast to today's growing culture of government dependency. This gripping, historically accurate narrative brings to life a forgotten patriot whose story embodies American grit and the timeless fight for liberty. Episode Highlights The dramatic, minute-by-minute story of Samuel Whittemore's one-man stand against the British Army during the retreat from Lexington and Concord. How Whittemore's survival, despite being shot in the face and bayoneted thirteen times, became a symbol of early American grit, courage, and self-reliance. Why Whittemore's example reveals the difference between a nation built by independent citizens and a society consumed by government dependency.

Your job isn't to be your employees' therapist. It's to lead them toward delivering value to customers. And sometimes the most caring thing you can do is tell them the truth they need to hear, not the comfort they want to feel. Stop letting emotions become tyranny. Start leading with truth. True love. True care. Watch out for the tyranny of empathy.

This episode is part of a special series called "Changing American Car Culture" funded with the generous support of The Helen and William Mazer Foundation. As historian Peter Norton documents in his book, Fighting Traffic, the death and destruction caused by the introduction of automobiles into U.S. cities in the early part of the 20th century caused a lot of people to challenge the notion that such machines would ever become popular. In response, autmobile companies, car dealers, driving enthuisasts, and others went on the offense, creating the culture that gave rise to the mass adoption of cars and the phenomenon of forced car dependence. In this special episode, producer Ilana Strauss brings us a story that begins with the pushback against automobiles, the fight for speed governors, and the unlikely partnership between a Studebaker dealer and a young academic who manufactured the rules and norms that came to shape American streets at the expense of anyone who isn't in a car.
