Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss an effort which has been launched in the Seeley-Swan Valley in Missoula County, Montana to potentially split the county in two to solve serious representation problems which have left parts of the county with severely unaddressed issues. What advantage does this movement have in contrast to other secession movements nationwide? What core issues need to be addressed to ensure that secession actually solves the problems the residents have with Missoula?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the upcoming referendum on Puerto Rico’s political status. What could the fallout be from each of the options presented if they were to win? Is Puerto Rico prepared for independence? How does the current world situation affect Puerto Rico’s options? Would a combination win of the Independence option with a Pro-Independence Governor lead to an Independence result?

Professor Wall and the Reporter discuss the back and forth going on in Westchester County, New York where a debate is heating up over whether a section of a town can break away and form it’s own town to better address it’s needs. The debate has turned very philosophical with absurd claims thrown against those seeking to govern themselves. What is so wrong with these anti-secessionist claims? Are they rooted in a view of the world which has very big flaws?

Greetings Everyone!
Election Day is here, and the crew at “On This Terrestrial Ball” are going to host the only Pro-Secession livestream covering the late night machinations of the Elites as they attempt to influence the outcome back to their advantage and away from the will of the people.
We will be keeping close eyes on the following states where electoral machinations have been seen over the last eight years: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin as well as any other state from which there are reports of electoral shenanigans. We will also look to bring reports on results from key elections in Illinois, Texas, Eastern Oregon, Puerto Rico, Ohio, Alaska and many other states.
We will go live at 11 PM Eastern Time, 7 PM Alaska Time. We will be livestreaming on Odysee and Rumble and potentially on other platforms as well. We will share the links to where you can watch the livestream here on Locals sometime later today before 11 PM ...
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
