Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the news that New Mexico legislators are yet again attempting to get a process begun whereby eastern New Mexico counties may switch back to join Texas as they had been formerly before 1850. With the popular support for this idea clearly established by the constant lobbying for it within the New Mexico legislature, what other steps must be taken to ensure that this border move becomes a reality? What deeper factors might come into play which makes this switch more likely as the old world order falls apart?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the proposal coming from an Iowa state legislator that Iowa establish a Iowa-Illinois Border Adjustment Committee to see about taking in Illinois counties which wish to separate from political association with Chicago. How similar is this to the effort now going on in Indiana? What hurdles would an Iowa assistance effort face and what preparations should be taken? Why is this an important development in the changing world even if the original proposal is not passed by the Iowa legislature?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the newly launched effort in Western Ohio to split a local township into two new townships in order to ensure better representation and addressing of the local peoples’ needs by their local governments. Why is this yet another great example of how secession fever is beginning to rise within America? Why are the objections coming from local authority figures to this split so similar to objections which have been raised against other secession movements and why are they just as ridiculous? What great political approach is being used to help bring about this split which other secession movements should look at implementing themselves? Could this effort successfully spark more widespread talk of secession within the Buckeye State?

This piece from the Acton Institute speaks very much to our views here at "On This Terrestrial Ball" on what the relationship should be between family and the workplace. Here we always says that "Family Comes First". That means occasionally we will have gaps in our publication schedule when we need to tend to matters which affect family. However we are still committed to spreading the word on the causes which are important to the everyday people so that EVERYONE will be able to put family first in the not-too-distant future and it is why we value your support so much! Be a rebel, raise a family and show & tell the family how much you love them! https://rlo.acton.org/archives/124383-your-job-is-not-your-family.html
Professor Wall is joined by lawyer and Alberta independence activist Katherine Kowalchuk and Canadian law professor Bruce Pardy on “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the recent developments in the Alberta Separatism effort. What are some encouraging aspects that are being seen in the efforts to separate Alberta from Canada? What are some more concerning developments which it might be wise to make note of and take a different approach to? Why is Independence for Alberta not enough to actually restore FREEDOM to Alberta? What are the different stages of the process for Alberta Independence and which is actually most important as opposed to what popular belief holds as the most important?
Professor Wall welcomes the President of the Saskatchewan Prosperity Project, Brad Williams, to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the Saskatchewan Independence Effort and it’s recent growth in popularity across the populace. What are the issues driving the popular positive views of Saskatchewan separating from Ottawa? Why has there been an explosion in popular interest in these town halls educating people on Saskatchewan self-determination efforts being held across the province by the Saskatchewan Prosperity Project? What obstacles are ahead for Saskatchewan independence activists to overcome in their journey towards achieving freedom for Saskatchewan? What secret political tactics might they be able to use to help bring this all about?
