Tempers flare in the first Secession Speakeasy episode of 2026 where the Professor, the Minstrel, and the Jester discuss the shocking situation which the peoples of America now find themselves in. On the domestic front, America seems to be being primed for a scenario where the American Bill of Rights will be completely thrown out so the Globalist Elites on the Totalitarian Left and the Authoritarian Right can attempt to have their power-hungry ambitions fulfilled. What should the ordinary people of America do to push back and preserve their rights in the face of this unprecedented challenge?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel close out 2025 on Secession Speakeasy with a great historical secession success story from the Minnesota Arrowhead. In 1977, the residents of a small town in the Iron Range made a stunning show of defiance against a political class which was ignoring a very dire situation which the residents found themselves in. The town’s defiance swept the imagination of America and likely began opening the door for Secession and Self-Governance to become serious topics of discussion heading into the 21st Century.

Professor Wall and the Jester discuss the situation unfolding in the European micronation of Andorra where it seems as if globalist forces are trying to use the Catholic Church’s position in Andorra’s governing setup as a tool to try to compromise the sovereignty of the Catholic Church. Why are these Globalist forces so insistent that the Vatican allow the Bishop of Urgell, who serves as one of the two co-Princes of Andorra, to sign off on a law effectively decriminalising abortion in Andorra when the Bishop has the option of abstaining? Could the Globalists be using this scenario to pressure the Vatican to abandon it’s opposition to abortion?

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
