Welcome to The Village Oak Tree
I am your seanchaí, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.
Thank you for joining me.
As I said last week, and in keeping with my theme of talking about the things that matter most to regular people, I have found some news articles that do have an impact on everyday life for most Americans. Today, I'm going to talk about the U.S. power grid. How it is set up across the country as far as private, public or a co-op, the frailty of it all and what that might mean for the average consumer, depending on the state they live in.
So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let's talk about the electricity infrastructure in the U.S.

Welcome to the weekend edition (maybe) of The Village Oak Tree.
I decided to see about posting part 1 of a story I wrote a couple of years ago on my substack page, and I recorded an audio file as well. Which I'm adding here.
I hope people enjoy it and reach out to me to let me know. If people like my stories well enough, I'll present some more.
Thank you. I'll be back next week with my regular schedule. Sláinte

In my continuing podcasts to push people into standing up against tyranny, as promised, I will be talking about global migrations today. I have a handful of news stories I've found in the last week, that show us just how cruel governments around the world are becoming with regard to all of these mass migrations that have been taking place for decades now, along with a little history to show that this not a new thing, and offer some practical solutions that we know these governments will never put into practice.
So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me tell you about global migrations around the world.

In my continuing podcasts to push people into standing up against tyranny, I found a handful of odd news stories from around the U.S. and the world that I thought might peak people's interest this week. A couple of them are downright stupid from the Americans, and I also found some interesting stories about the middle east. Some you may already know about, some you may not.
So gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me tell you about some of the things that are going on around the world.

Once again, the United States is at a historical crossroads. Trump and his loyalists are running roughshod across the country still, and the chaos is consuming everything, every day. The news feeds in the U.S. are full of little else but some kind of new Trump attention grabber, from the new concentration camp in the Florida Everglades to this hugely unpopular bill being battled back and forth between the house and the senate.
So come, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me talk to you about some of the things that are going on, and some personal memories of times past about the U.S. military.

I'm back from my long vacation out west, to which, if you're interested in learning about our adventures, read my four travel blogs posted on my Substack page. During my long vacation, I thought some about the future of this show and I decided to redirect the show once again. I want to start focusing on the things that really matter to most folks. Poverty, homelessness, tyranny, how the warming climate is making all of that worse, and what we can try and do about it.
So come, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me talk to you about some of the things I saw during my trip through the rural areas of the United States.

This week, I'm going to dive into religion and education, and how the separation of church and state is starting to become blurred in the United States, despite what the U.S. constitution says.
After I have presented my findings from this week's news feeds, I would ask everyone to stick around through my commercial break to hear another chapter of The Priest by Michael Campi
So come, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let explain what I mean and what that might mean for U.S. citizens in the future.

This week, I'm going to try and stay away from Trump’s efforts to become a dictator. There’re enough people jumping into that fray so I don't need to join them. Instead, I'm going to talk some more about ICE and their draconian efforts across the country to snatch up undocumented people everywhere, the great American migration of people on the move across the country for a variety of reasons, the assault on the environment in Trumplandia, and some different news from around the world that might affect people everywhere. These are just little oddities I found outside of the mainstream that might make someone sit up and take notice.

As promised, I have my Canadian friend with me this week to talk about the war in Sudan. I will be bringing you some history as to why this started and where it stands today, and my friend Sam will be talking about the humanitarian crisis all of this has caused. Especially since Trump recently cut out aid money for the NGO's in the area with the closing of USAID.
Once we've presented our case to you in order to bring awareness to all of these atrocities, I would ask everyone to stick around through my commercial break to hear another chapter of The Priest by Michael Campi
So come, pull up a chair, and let us tell you a little about the war in Sudan that the North American media isn't telling you.

Most of what I want to focus on this week, is about how scary Trump's defiance of the judicial system should be to all of us as this means he could come after any of us now for any reason he can make up. I have a lot of news stories that I found that I hope will wake people up to what's going on in the United States, and why we, as residents of the US. should sit up and take notice before it's too late.
Once I've finished telling you what I think about the things I've found, I would ask everyone to stick around through my commercial break to hear another chapter of The Priest by Michael Campi
So come, pull up a chair, and let's talk about what's on my mind this week.
