About this listen

The Village Oak Tree is where the Irish storyteller comes to your digital village to bring you stories from the outside world. Join me every Wednesday as I try my best to find topics that are not plastered all over the main stream news pages everywhere you look. I research news from around the world, that despite not being in all over the front pages, may be important to regular people nonetheless. To wrap things up, I try to add a little imagination to your visit with a short story that might make you think. Sláinte

  • A Small History Lesson to maybe Explain why the U.S. has a Donald Trump Now

    Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

    I’m your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

    Thank you for joining me again this week.

    This week, I offer up a small bit of American history and a call to action, in order to stop all of the madness. I will try not to sound like a high school history teacher but I think this short lesson is important for people to understand a little bit about how the Americans have arrived at this point in their history

    So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let me tell you some stories and ask you to make yourselves a bit uncomfortable with a call to protest against the tyranny that’s threatening our very lives in the U.S.

  • The War Against ICE
    Jan 14 2026

    Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

    I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

    Thank you for joining me again this week.

    In the last week, the United States has started to become that pariah state I mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

    Between publicly coming out and lying about a murdered young woman being a domestic terrorist, declaring the ICE agent who shot her immune from prosecution, before the evidence was presented one way or the other, piracy on the high seas, and more aggressive statements to the world about taking over the governments of Greenland, Cuba and Colombia, Trump is making life in the U.S. a lot harder for the rest of us.

    So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let’s talk about what this is starting to look like.

    Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

    I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

    Thank you for joining me again this week.

    With all of the drama from Trump’s military operation last weekend going on, let’s talk a little bit about the repercussions that few are talking about in the main stream media.

    I also want to offer up a brief look into society in China these days that their media isn’t telling the world about.

    So, gather round, sit you down somewhere comfortable for a bit and let’s talk about how all of this is going to affect those of us in the U.S. very soon.
