This is our first THURSDAY program, with a different format than the TUESDAY programs. We are ADDING a new program on THURSDAYS. For now, we are going to call the Thursday programs: Thoughtful Thursdays.

Each Thursday, we will take an introductory deep dive into JUST ONE IDEA, THEORY OR CONCEPT, which impacts our present-day society. The goal of each Thursday episode is to cover three objectives. First, name and define the theory or world-view. Second, name and give brief backgrounds on the primary scholars that advanced the theory. And finally, discuss the impacts that the theory has had on our present-day society.

Today's program will cover POSTMODERNISM and how it has affected education.

In today’s program we feature Energy Secretary Granholm, who recently had an embarrassing moment on an inter-state road-trip,  while driving an EV car. This was a case of a photo op gone wrong, when Secretary Granholm could not find an available charging station to charge her vehicle. And now, for the second time, a federal judge has ruled that the Obama initiative called DACA, has been ruled as unconstitutional. Third, New Mexico’s Governor is rebuked for not reading the US Constitution by another federal judge, when the Governor attempted to take away firearms. And finally, the California Assembly voted to Reject 18-Wheelers going down California freeways and other State roadways while using driver-less technology.

In today’s program we begin with some comments from the Narrative Wars posse. We open then with an Update regarding the Maui Fires and the rapid spread of lawsuits; we also discuss the utter confusion at the scene of the fire and reports that are emerging from citizen journalists. And just in time for back to school, it seems like we are back to masking up as certain health officials are talking about the return of COVID protocols. And finally, there is the infamous Donald J. Trump mugshot for a Georgia Courthouse which has gone viral and is now more famous than any 1960s, counterculture, Andy Warhol knockoff art.

We begin with stories about the Lahaina Maui Fire, based on both news reports and conversations that I have had with Maui residents. President Trump sticks it to FOX News, by skipping the 1st GOP Presidential Debate in Milwaukee. . . and Billy Busch, the Anheuser-Busch heir, offers to buy back Bud Light, from InBev, a European company located in Brussels Belgium. Finally, there is a new lawsuit in California. Six University professors are suing California Community colleges because they oppose new regulations, as of March 2023, which require the teaching of: “politicized conceptions of ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion.’ "

Nā ʻOhana o Lele, a coalition of community members in Lahaina, today called on Governor Josh Green to meet three demands for the recovery of the community.

This is a packed show with an in depth look at the 3rd Trump indictment, and the coverage in the legacy media. Also, notable are the voices of a small group called “Blacks for Trump,” which voiced their disappointment with Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Colorado Supreme Court strikes down part of state’s cyberbullying law as unconstitutional

Rationalist approaches to economics assume that people value their own interests over the interests of strangers. Cohn et al. wanted to examine the trade-off between material self-interest and more altruistic behaviors (see the Perspective by Shalvi). They distributed more than 17,000 wallets containing various sums of money in 355 cities across 40 countries. In contrast to what rationalist theories of economics predict, citizens were more likely to return wallets that contained more money. The findings also reveal a high level of civic honesty across nations.

The wife of former head of Fox News, Beth Ailes reacts to whistleblowers that revealed that a Fox news donation portal for Fox employees offers Fox matching funds for a Satanic Temple and other left-wing groups. Jason Aldean’s song, “Try That in A Small Town” is cancelled from Country Music Television, and fans are pushing back. As Disney continues to stack up multi-billion-dollar losses, a new American friendly theme park is scheduled to open in Oklahoma, in the near future. And finally, Texas Governor, Greg Abbot defends the border with a floating barrier in the Rio Grande, which the federal government wants removed.

On Friday, The Blaze reported that Fox News' company portal app, Fox Giving, matches employee donations of up to $1,000 to the Satanic Temple, the Trevor Project, Planned Parenthood, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and other liberal charities.

EXCLUSIVE: Fox News whistleblowers expose company’s support for far-left charities

Insiders have revealed to Blaze Media that Fox will subsidize some of the very activist groups that despise and seek the ruin of the network’s viewers, evidencing a “complete disregard and hatred” for its core audience.

“Fox Giving” is an app in the company portal that facilitates charitable donations via the Canadian-based donation management platform Benevity. Fox will apparently match donations up to $1,000 to various organizations that satisfy the company’s criteria.

Fans lashed out at Country Music Television, after it pulled singer Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” music video this week following accusations it was racist.

Aldean had enraged liberal activists with the new music video, which has anti-crime, pro-law enforcement themes and tells criminals that their behavior won’t be tolerated in rural America. The music video plays footage from left-wing riots and smash-and-grab robberies. Activists accused the song of being racist and promoting violence.

Nearly 7 in 10 Americans, upset with Disney’s embrace of the LGBTQ movement, no longer want to do “business” with Mickey Mouse and instead will seek out “family-friendly alternatives,” according to a new survey shared with Secrets.
