Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again.

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again. 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 int...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again. 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 t...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again. 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.

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again. 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 stic...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again. 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 peopl...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again.

Especially since Trump...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again. 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'...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again. This week I want to talk some more about all of the chaos taking place across the world with all of the tariffs, U.S. detentions of foreigners, Trump's ramping up of his war on climate change and a whole lot more. Once I've finished telling you what I think about the things I've found,...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again. This week I want to talk some more about all of the chaos taking place across the United States, some positive news (not much but a little), and a call to action for any Americans who still believe in democracy. Once I've finished with my essay, I would ask everyone to stick around thr...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again.

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Thank you for joining me once again. I found a few news stories this week but as always, there’s just too much chaos going on around the world for me to delve into the front page news. There are plenty of other, more accomplished journalists, who’re taking care of that for us already. What I did find, are a couple of arti...

Failte Welcome to the Village Oak Tree again this week. This week, I bring you another conversation with my friend Mitch from central Florida. He had recently published an article on Medium.com about eugenics and how a certain group of Americans have been all about this science in order to create a master race right here in the good ‘ole USA. We also talk long and hard about the state of affairs i...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. Here we are, entering the Ides of March, as the old saying goes. The sun has been shining a wee bit where I am, along with rising temperatures. And I'm a few days behind on my normal schedule this week. I'm still dealing with home repairs caused by climate change this winter and I'm not done yet. But the work I needed to...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. With the weather outside frightful all across north America today, and with all of the chaos the new U.S. government is creating all across the world and domestically, mainly Donald Trump and his trusty sidekick, Elon Musk, it's a wonder more people aren't speaking out. But they’re starting to. More and more people across...

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree once again I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. More chaos everywhere once again this week. To quote a movie title from 2022, "Everything, Everywhere, All at once" Once I have brought you the stories and commentary for this week, I ask everyone to stick around through my commercial break, so I can read you another chapter of The Priest, from Michael Campi.

Fáilte Welcome to The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. It's been about forty-eight hours into the new Trump presidency and the chaos is already getting started. I don't want to get into that too much as every media outlet across the world will be doing that for us. Instead, I want to talk a little about the why's of what we are seeing across the world. I can't even begin to s...

This week, I had another long conversation with my friend Mitch, as you may remember from last year, lives in central Florida. We've talked about these things before but, with Trumps inauguration upon us next week, we're running a little scared of the future and what his already chaotic presidency may bring us over the next two to four years. Come join us as we talk about the future, sometimes, wi...

Nollaig Shona daoibh Happy Christmas from The Village Oak Tree I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill. This is my Christmas show, even though I don't typically celebrate Christian holidays. As I said last week, this week's podcast is primarily going to be about this latest Trump tactic of taxing/tariffing the hell out of Canada and Mexico. Canada is running scared as a twenty five percent tariff on...

This was a relatively unplanned episode because I had originally planned to read stories and poetry this week. Once again, I was caught up in world events and also, I had a little push from a friend to say something about corporate greed. Please watch as I offer a little history on western corporations, the wreckage they have caused across the planet in the last five hundred years, and how the wes...

This week, I have another commentary on the breaking and not so breaking news from the past few days. I offer a take on what's going on in Syria, South Korea, Europe and the United States. I save the bit about the failing health care system in the United States for last. After the break, I read another chapter from The Priest, chapter 19, to offer a continuing glimpse of what an economic failure i...
