    Richard Henry Lee: The Founding Father Who Made July 4th Possible

Before the Declaration of Independence and Jefferson's immortal words, Lee forced the Second Continental Congress to choose independence. In this episode of America's Founding Series, part of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano marks the 250-year anniversary of the Lee Resolution, introduced on June 7, 1776, at the Pennsylvania State House.

    Exposing the SPLC: A Father's Fight Against Bureaucratic Weaponization

    How does a concerned father challenging a school board curriculum wind up facing federal travel scrutiny and an FBI visit? Terry Newsome joins The P.A.S. Report Podcast to expose the terrifying reality of how parental rights, free speech, and political dissent are being targeted by America's label-and-smear machine. In this powerful episode, Terry Newsome, father of twins, Illinois Chapter President of Parents Involved in Education, and host of Behind Enemy Lines, tells his story of being targeted after challenging explicit material in local schools. The conversation breaks down a chilling timeline showing how the Southern Poverty Law Center, activist networks, legacy media outlets, and federal bureaucratic institutions can create a pipeline that intimidates parents, weaponizes labels, and silences ordinary Americans. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Local Catalyst: How Terry Newsome went from an ordinary father to a school board activist fighting for curriculum transparency.  The SPLC Smear Machine: How a national ideological organization can turn local parental dissent into an "extremism" narrative.  The Federal Fallout: How Terry says the SPLC campaign was followed by TSA PreCheck issues, repeated Quad-S travel screenings, and an FBI visit.  The Media Echo Chamber: How legacy media amplification turns NGO hit pieces into public reputational attacks.  The Fightback Strategy: What ordinary citizens can do when powerful public-private institutions try to chill free speech.  This episode exposes the SPLC machine, the weaponization of government agencies, and the growing danger of allowing unelected ideological organizations to influence law enforcement, shape public narratives, and target parents who refuse to stay quiet. 📲 Connect with the Show and take a moment to share this episode with friends, family, and colleagues, and leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.   Timestamps 00:00 The Fight Against Indoctrination 01:28 Awakening to Educational Concerns 03:48 The School Board Meetings and Activism 09:50 Targeted by the Southern Poverty Law Center 15:38 Consequences of Being Labeled a Radical 18:58 The Coordination of Antifa and SPLC 21:17 Legal Actions Against the SPLC 22:09 Personal Experiences with TSA and Domestic Terrorism 28:18 Engagement with Congress and Political Activism 31:32 The Role of Bureaucracy and Media in Politics 35:11 Awakening the Public to the Ongoing War Follow The P.A.S.

    Domestic Terror Strategy: Trump's Fix Isn't Enough

    The National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism has been rewritten and the domestic terror strategy has changed, but has the real problem actually been solved? Nearly five years after the Biden administration transformed domestic surveillance, the Trump administration narrowed the counterterrorism focus back toward violence and criminal conduct. This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast examines the Trump administration's revisions to the domestic terror framework, the constitutional dangers of the previous guidelines, and why the permanent bureaucracy remains one of the greatest threats to American liberty. While the revised strategy strips away vague ideological metrics like "anti-government" and "anti-authority" sentiment, the administrative machinery that enabled recent government abuses remains fully intact. From intelligence-sharing fusion centers to public-private censorship pipelines and sweeping surveillance authorities, the underlying weaponization infrastructure is merely waiting for the next administration. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Original Sin: How the 2021 Domestic Terror Strategy shifted the threshold away from criminal conduct and toward ideological "sentiment."  The Overhaul: Why the Trump administration's policy pivot represents a necessary constitutional correction.  The NSPM-7 Paradox: What National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 does, and how it could be turned against citizens again.  The Surveillance Pattern: How the Patriot Act, Total Information Awareness, and PRISM reveal 25 years of expanding bureaucratic power.  The Congressional Failure: Why Congress keeps passing clean FISA reauthorizations while abdicating real oversight.  Five years later, the debate is no longer about one president or one party. It is about whether a constitutional republic can survive a weaponized bureaucracy that treats political dissent, free speech, and ideological disagreement as predictive threat indicators. 📲 Connect with the Show and take a moment to share this episode with friends, family, and colleagues, and leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

    Don't Tread on Me: Christopher Gadsden's Warning

    Don't Tread on Me was never just a flag. It was Christopher Gadsden's warning about what happens when free people get comfortable with power. In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, the America's Founding Series tells the story of Christopher Gadsden, the South Carolina patriot behind the iconic Gadsden flag and the enduring phrase, Don't Tread on Me. From the Stamp Act crisis to the fall of Charleston, from revolutionary defiance to imprisonment in St. Augustine, Gadsden's story reveals why liberty requires vigilance, courage, and a people willing to say no when government power goes too far. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Making of a Firebrand: How Christopher Gadsden became one of the most aggressive Patriot voices in South Carolina. The Danger of Incrementalism: Why the Stamp Act crisis was never just about a tax on paper, but about sovereignty, precedent, and arbitrary power. The Symbol of the Rattlesnake: The real meaning behind the Gadsden flag and why it was designed as a warning, not a call for conquest. The Test of Conviction: How the fall of Charleston and solitary confinement at Castillo de San Marcos tested Gadsden's dedication to the cause. The Modern Lesson: Why Gadsden's warning still matters as government power and bureaucratic authority continue to expand. Christopher Gadsden's life was filled with contradictions, but his message remains clear: liberty dies when citizens stop guarding it. This episode connects the American Revolution, the Gadsden flag, limited government, and the founding generation's fight against tyrannical overreach to the challenges facing Americans today as we celebrate America 250.   📲 Connect with the Show and take a moment to share this episode with friends, family, and colleagues, and leave a 5-star rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.   Timestamps 00:00 The Symbolism of the Gadsden Flag 02:59 Christopher Gadsden: A Complex Patriot 05:27 The Incremental Nature of Power 08:37 The Rattlesnake Flag: A Revolutionary Identity 11:25 Facing Consequences: Gadsden's Defiance 14:02 Lessons from Gadsden's Life and Legacy 🔔 Subscribe for More:   Follow The P.A.S.

    "Nazi" Smears and Campus Hypocrisy: Higher Ed's Toxic Double Standard

    "Nazi" Smears & Campus Hypocrisy expose Higher Ed's Toxic Double Standard as universities preach civility while excusing ideological attacks. Universities love to talk about inclusion, safety, and respect, but what happens when a conservative professor is smeared in front of students and the university shrugs? In this episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nicholas Giordano speaks with professor, author, and Campus Reform Higher Ed Fellow Adam Ellwanger about his latest Campus Reform piece detailing how a colleague allegedly called him a "Nazi white supremacist" in front of an entire classroom. Ellwanger explains what happened, how the university responded, and why the incident reveals a much larger crisis inside American higher education.  The conversation goes beyond one campus smear to examine academic freedom, DEI loopholes, faculty ideological capture, declining college standards, weak writing skills, AI plagiarism, and the death of the college credential. Giordano and Ellwanger expose how higher education's toxic double standard protects leftist privilege while students, parents, taxpayers, and employers pay the price. What You'll Learn In This Episode How "Nazi" smears and ideological labels are used to intimidate conservative professors and silence dissent.  Why campus hypocrisy exposes a toxic double standard in university speech codes and professional standards.  How DEI loopholes and faculty hiring practices keep higher education ideologically captured.  Why the college credential is losing value as employers drop four-year degree requirements.  How AI, poor writing skills, and collapsing academic standards are weakening critical thinking.  📲 Connect with the Show Read Adam Ellwanger's article at Campus Reform.
