Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the recent explosion in publicity for the cause to separate the borough of Staten Island from New York City in the wake of the election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York City. What does the steady growth in support for Staten Island separating from New York City, thanks to several recent controversies, say about the prospects for Staten Island becoming a truly self-governing enclave in the near-future?

Professor Wall welcomes local self-determination activists Russell Kanning from New Hampshire and Jason Mills from Oregon for a discussion of a question which is vital to understanding the process of how the people governing themselves works.

Professor Wall welcomes Downstate Illinois Secession activist and spokesperson Eric Ivers to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the effort to separate the outstate Illinois areas from Chicago. What issues are driving the popularity of the idea of separating outstate Illinois from Chicago? What options are available to help in successful accomplishment of this goal? What role is Indiana playing in helping bring out this successful separation? Why is separation the only realistic hope of restoring the self-government rights of the people of outstate Illinois?
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 welcomes Daniel McAdams and Chris Rossini back to "From Steal to Secession AM" for a discussion on where America stands as Donald Trump's second term begins to really unravel due to foreign policy blunders, a collapsing domestic economy and dangerously spiking domestic tensions in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder. Has anything good for the people of America come out of Trump's second term? What are the odds of civil war in America in the near-future? Can National Divorce be accomplished in America in a way which restores peace and opens the doors for prosperity? How much of what is unfolding is real and how much is a façade for the public eye?
