Here at "On This Terrestrial Ball" Family comes FIRST

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

From Steal to Secession AM - Ep. 54: Has America Reached the Point of No Return?

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?
