Everything Everywhere Daily - The Meteor That Determined the Outcome of a Battle

There are many factors that go into the outcome of a battle.

The number of soldiers, training, supplies, the weather, and the terrain the battle is fought on all play a part in determining the outcome.

However, the biggest factor is the one that no one can control: luck. 

There has never been a battle where luck played a greater role than one that took place over 2,000 years ago.

Learn more about the astronomical event that determined the outcome of a battle on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NBN Book of the Day - Robert F. Trager and Joslyn N. Barnhart, “The Suffragist Peace: How Women’s Votes Lead to Fewer Wars” (Oxford UP, 2022)

In the modern age, some parts of the world are experiencing a long peace. Nuclear weapons, capitalism and the widespread adoption of democratic institutions have been credited with fostering this relatively peaceful period. Yet, these accounts overlook one of the most dramatic transformations of the 20th century: the massive redistribution of political power as millions of women around the world won the right to vote.

The Suffragist Peace: How Women Shape the Politics of War (Oxford University Press, 2023) by Dr. Robert Trager and Dr. Joslyn Barnhart presents a deep and historical examination of how the political influence of women at the ballot box has shaped the course of war and peace.

Through gripping history and careful reasoning, this book examines how the political influence of women at the ballot box has shaped war and peace. What would a world ruled by women look like? For more than a hundred years, conventional wisdom held that women's votes had little effect. That view is changing - it turns out that women voters had a profound effect on the world we know and in ways we hardly understand. A world ruled by women's voices is a world that is less willing to fall in love with war as a noble end in itself, less prone to lapse into violence for the sake of maintaining an image. In other words, it is the world we live in now, more so than we have ever realised.

This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What A Day - DeSantis DeSucks

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has officially entered the 2024 presidential race. In a glitchy announcement on Twitter Wednesday, DeSantis said he’s running for president to lead a “great American comeback,” and he’s using the slate of harmful, regressive laws he’s passed in Florida as evidence that he can get that job done. The ACLU’s Gillian Branstetter, who’s been keeping tabs on his legislative record, joins us to explain the dangers of the DeSantis agenda.

And in headlines: debt ceiling talks between the White House and House Republicans once again ended yesterday without an agreement, Target is removing some of its Pride collection merchandise following conservative backlash and threats to its employees, and we say goodbye to music legend Tina Turner.

The Daily Signal - INTERVIEW | ‘Nightmarish’: Dennis Prager Compares ‘Drift to Totalitarian Speech’ in America Today to Soviet Communism

The American Left's tendency to enforce its ideological speech codes reminds Dennis Prager of the Soviet oppression of Jews that he studied in his youth. He called this phenomenon totalitarian and "nightmarish."

 

"You can ask almost any person who lived in a communist country and they will say to you, 'I can't believe what I fled is now happening in America,'" he added.


Prager joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss.
