The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

It seems that every time I look at my news feed, there's bad news. And my hope that Trump would do right by his campaign promises... well, it's on life support. In light of that, we should focus on being one's best.

I didn't have time to listen to Trump's address to the joint session of congress, but I did see my share of memes today. My conclusion: I hope the Dems NEVER change. :) I also talk a bit about we need to unplug from political tribalism and return to the idea of Freedom.
Trump is addressing both the senate and house tonight... I'll try to make some comments on it tomorrow. Just thought I would share some thoughts on Trump and his actions so far. Is it possible that Trump is a genius underneath that limited vocabulary of his speeches? hmm
Rare Earth metals and materials, that seems to be what many are fighting for in Ukraine. But what ho... Russia offered a deal for rare earth material in the Ukrainian territories it now controls. Ruh Roh. How did we get here, and did we have to travel this path? What do we do now? With Trump in office, what should we explore?…
It's Sunday thus Jesus day on this channel. With great power comes the requirement to engage in war, is that how it goes? It's interesting that when Pres Trump talks about ending the killing, many people lose their poop. Is that the life of faith we are to live, promote war? Perhaps not. Blessings and Peace.…
You must have heard that Zelenskyy (or ZeNazi, as I like to refer to him) visited Trump at the Oval office. It did not go well for the former comedian. Depending on who you listen to, it's either Trump or Zelenskyy who was rude at the meeting. What is clear is that impeachment for Z is on the table in Ukraine. It makes me sad that so many Americans (my old friends) are so pro-killing and pro-war.…
You may have heard the news about the NSA and their work habits. We'll talk about their misuse of government property and discuss whether we even need an organization like the NSA or the SEC for that matter.
Saw Rand Paul's tweet on X regarding his amendment to cut 1.5 trillion from the budget; it failed. I'm still recovering from my arbitration hearing, so I thought I would talk about getting out the box, again. That IS my profile thumbnail after all, getting out of the box. Senators who voted against Rand Paul's amendment are deep in the box. Don't stay there with them! Get out of the box in spite of the trouble it brings! Life is better out of the Box!!…
Sunday is Jesus day on this channel. Hitting a Beatitude this week. I hope that I bring a different, socially relevant, yet biblical take on a well-known verse. But then, you may conclude like so many around my town, that I'm just an arrogant guy. Blessings and Peace.
Layoffs are happening all over government even including the CIA. Should we be upset? Should we defend the Federal Worker? Let's think about this...
This is a "hot takes" episode on a variety of topics and we jump off with the gov't response to Bird Flu. There's so much going on in the news, I thought I would share just for the record and in case you didn't hear about them. They are interesting bits of news.
So, I saw a meme about a housing crash around DC... is it true? What are the consequences and fallout of the activities of DOGE? Why are the neighborhoods around DC so affected? And what is the re-alignment of Trump? One thought. So many questions... a lot of "wait and see."
So, Zelenskyy is feeling the heat of peace and is getting desperate. I discuss that and the election in Romania and how we dodged that bullet as a nation with the election of Trump.
It's President's Day here in the states, hence, the episode on presidents or at least a couple of them. Theodore Roosevelt (not FDR) and the Progressive Era is an interesting time period which might relate to the US today. Part of TR's presidency involved the Panama Canal "deal" which sounds eerily familiar to recent events.…
It's Sunday which makes it Subjective Preacher's Jesus Day. Today I talk about Lawlessness. I think it's easier to recognize it now that DOGE is on the job. So, what do we do now? In other words, now we know what is lawless, what are our choices? Blessings and Peace.
Some observations and bits of information I heard on the internet regarding DOGE and Trump Tariffs, I thought I would share as they answer some big questions. Today is Frederick Douglass' Birthday. So, I read an excerpt from one of his speeches and relay its significance for us today, especially since people are making a big deal of the federal government no longer marking ethnic celebrations.…
