Thank you for joining me again this week. I struggled a lot this week, to come up with a topic that didn’t involve politics, or wars, and it was hard. I also had some personal things to take care of, which is why I’m a...

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I’m back with more uncomfortable news stories that I’ve gleaned from not main stream U.S. media. In keeping with my latest theme of putting Trump and Putin in the same bucket, I...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I’m going to keep this real short this week, as we’re preparing to go on holiday for a couple of days. Something we haven’t done all year because of the economy, and a bit of fear of the ICE-Gestapo agents roaming the country. I want to spend some more time with this business of Tr...

The podcast is a bit longer than usual because the reading of this week’s story chapter was a bit longer than usual. I hope everyone enjoys, nonetheless. Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. This week, I have the third and last part of my series on Putin and Trump. Today, I put things in perspective as I compare Trump...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. As promised, I have part 2 of my discussion about the parallels between the old U.S.S.R., and the U.S. in 2026. I left off last week with what happened to the Soviet Union in December of 1991, and a taste of what happened to them until Putin came to power in 1999. Today, I’m going...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I’m about two days behind schedule this week because of other more pressing issues, but I have managed to carve out some time to talk about the United States, and how it’s starting to mirror the old Soviet Republic right up to when it finally came to it’s inglorious end by December...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I'm your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. As I've said repeatedly here, I do these weekly videos and commentaries because I want to talk to people about what I'm thinking about. These seemingly random topics are largely based on articles that got my attention throughout the past week. This week is no different. Most of us...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I’m back, after a couple of week layoff. During my online absence, I’ve been very hard at work rebuilding my domain network infrastructure, after having to replace a failed hard drive in my primary server. It all went down hill from there for a couple of weeks, where at one point,...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I’m going to keep this pretty general this week. As always, there are plenty of news stories from around the world to choose from, but I’m finding most of them are all saying the same thing. We know more about the plight of the U.S. military sailors aboard their ships now, thanks t...

Warning: Adult Language Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I normally try to stay away from U.S. politics as a rule, but the events and news stories of late, are making me lean into things again. What I mean by that, is all of this business with active, blatant interference in the upcoming mid-term elections by Trum...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I have something a little more personal to talk about this week. I want to talk about the declining veterans health care services those of us who gave a portion of our lives are supposed to be receiving from our Veterans hospitals. As some of you may remember me saying before, I am...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I’m at a bit of a quandary this week, because there is so much going on in the news that I don’t want to just parrot the main stream media. So, let’s talk about the overall decline of the United States under the helm of Trump and his government full of thugs, rapists, domestic abus...

First, let me apologize up front for the poor audio. As I mentioned, I’m undergoing some major upgrades in my IT infrastructure this month and apparently StreamYard was affected like so much else in my network. The platform switched microphones on me and I failed to verify the correct one before recording today’s podcast. It’s fixed now but I thought to myself during editing, that I’d rather apolo...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I want to talk about the U.S. and Britain today, with a couple of news stories I found, and to describe a dystopian future when, and I say when, not if, the global mean temperature above pre-industrial global temps reaches 3C. So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable fo...

Warning: There is a small amount of adult language in today’s podcast Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I’m going to make this a short one because, for one, I’m very tired, and two, the Americans are celebrating their 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. And as such, I don’t want to bring too much...

Warning: Adult language Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again. I have another book review for you this week. This time, it’s a short book that means a lot to me and to all veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is a good addition to my podcast topic from last week, about how spoiled Americans are, and in this case, it...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I want talk about a couple of related and likely very controversial topics today that might upset a few people. Especially anyone who still believes in that myth of American exceptionalism. I don’t have any news stories to share this week, but I do have a couple of references I wil...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I'm your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. To start, I want to try and address an elephant in the room. It's so hard to talk about anything positive these troubled days we find ourselves in without sounding like a podcast about kittens and puppies. Although some people would like that as a way to forget all of the doom and...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. Today, I want to offer you a book review, along with a broader picture of what this book is about, and the current military culture behind the Trump-Miller immigration policy taking place everywhere in the country. So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit whil...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. Things are a little bit quieter on the western front this week, but not by much. Trump is still being Trump and the congress is arguing about whether they should pay the Mafia Don the tribute he’s asking for. The war in Iran is looking a little better, for now, but I don’t know for...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. Today, I want to talk about biolabs. I found some obscure news articles from Russia about U.S. funded Biolabs and I have an article about air borne viruses from Heated I also want to talk about. Illegal biolabs should scare everyone. Add into that, the possibility that with global...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. I’m going to keep on with more doings from around the world this week. Rather than a bunch of news headlines, I have a couple of videos to share this week, not that I’m going to play them for you. They would take up far too much time but I will link them in my commentary on Substac...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. The United States is at a crossroads in its history. There is a major fight going on for control and its soul. I have a couple of news stories from around the world about corruption and greed in the highest places, the state of the EU, and some intel from the war in Ukraine. Plus a...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me again this week. All around the world this week, there’s some kind of commotion going on to pull our eyes to the next big thing. What they all amount to, is a world coming apart because of one man. Donald J. Trump. I found some more news stories that show us a glimpse of what the rest of the world...
