Our show opens with a reminder that the Left has long adopted the concept of exhibiting the soft bigotry of low expectation. They have an entire rage wing of their party, dedicated to violence and anger whenever challenged. Harvard has major issues. The former manager of their morgue for their medical program plead guilty to selling body parts across state lines. One of the “star” professors who published multiple papers and studies on “dishonesty” has been caught lying about the data to bolster her own hypotheses. Her tenure has been stripped and she has been fired. This is all on top of the economic hits they are getting from the Trump administration. Long-time Harvard supporter, until just after October 7, 2023, Bill Ackman wrote a long essay detailing everything wrong with Harvard and he nails it. Even Mike Rowe weighs-in on the Ivy League as well as trade schools. Seattle's mayor blames “far-right rally” after left-wing activists attacked a Christian prayer service. Ahh...the party of joy and tolerance! Border Czar Tom Homan wonders why AOC hasn't done anything after they arrested Rep. McIver (D-NJ)? The mayor of Nashville, TN (D) may find himself in some deep trouble as the next Sanctuary City being targeted by ICE. We are still watching the biggest scandal in US History unfold regarding a four-year window where the duly elected President of the United States was not really calling the shots. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says the FBI will be looking into the Dobbs leak, the cocaine found in the White House and the J6 pipe bomber. And, as part of this ever-growing scandal, DNC Vice Chair David Hogg just got in some hot water in an undercover video where they admit they knew Jill Biden's Chief of Staff, Anthony Bernal, was considered the person running the White House. Finally, we close with part of the acceptance speech of the new acting US Attorney to Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro. She says they are coming after the lawless and they are not planning to show any mercy. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Jul 28, 2020 Chris and Dave from the Mandatory OT and IWW join Breht to cover the fascinating and crucially important history of the Battle of Blair Mountain, the largest labor uprising in American history and the largest armed uprising in America since the Civil War.  In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the largest labor uprising in U.S. history—the 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain. This was no metaphorical struggle: 10,000 coal miners, armed and organized, rose up against brutal exploitation, corporate tyranny, and state violence in the heart of Appalachia. It's a story of working-class militancy, raw courage, and revolutionary spirit—one deliberately buried and whitewashed by history. We bring it back to light.

In this episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy and Kelley Brown, a Massachusetts U.S. history and civics teacher, interview Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Rick Atkinson, author of The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777. Mr. Atkinson explores the rise and fall of British imperial power in North America, the radical leadership of the American patriot Samuel Adams, and the early military struggles of General George Washington and the Continental Army. He discusses the brutal battlefield realities faced by Continental soldiers, the pivotal roles of Lafayette and the French alliance, and the ideological stakes of America's War for Independence. As the nation marks the 250th anniversary of the April 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord, Atkinson reflects on the Revolution's lasting lessons about civic sacrifice, liberty, and the meaning of American democratic ideals. In closing he reads a passage from his new book, The Fate of the Day: The War for America, Fort Ticonderoga to Charleston, 1777-1780.

Drafting the Past is a show about the craft of writing history, hosted by historian and writer Kate Carpenter. In this episode, Kate is joined by historian Dr. Omar Valerio-Jiménez. Omar is a professor of history at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he is also an associate dean for graduate studies. He originally worked as an engineer before going back to school to become a historian. His work focuses on histories of Mexican American civil rights, citizenship, education, and memory. His first book was called River of Hope: Forging Identity and Nation in the Rio Grande Borderlands, and his second book, which is the focus of this interview, is Remembering Conquest: Mexican Americans, Memory, and Citizenship. Remembering Conquest explores the collective memories of the U.S.-Mexico War and how those memories motivated civil rights campaigns among several generations of Mexican Americans. Omar is a pleasure to speak with, and his thoughtful approach to his work came through in our conversation. Keep an ear out especially for his work log system, which I might have to try out myself.

Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, was involved in multiple security incidents, including several assassination threats and plots, starting from when he became a presidential candidate in 2007. Secret Service protection for Obama began after he received a death threat in 2007, while serving as the junior United States senator from Illinois and running for president. This marked the earliest time a candidate received such protection before being nominated.[1] Security was increased early for Obama due to fears of possible assassination attempts by white supremacist or other racist groups or individuals against the first African American major party presidential nominee.[2][3][4]
