Declaring independence on July 2, 1776 was only the beginning. To actually become a nation, the United States needed something else: foreign allies, international recognition, and the credibility to negotiate as an equal among the world's great powers. Five days after Richard Henry Lee introduced his famous Virginia Resolution, the Continental Congress appointed a committee of five — John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Dickinson, Robert Morris, and Benjamin Harrison — to figure out how to achieve international recognition. The result was the Model Treaty: a document we almost never discuss today, but one that Adams considered his most important contribution to Congress and the nation. Historians Sara Georgini and Eliga Gould guide us through Adams's revolutionary blueprint for American foreign policy and how the founders understood that the United States would need to become a "treaty worthy" nation before France would take them seriously.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single headline can shake you, but a whole pile of them can start to numb you. We start by going back to Psalm 119, where God's justice is called eternal and His instructions are perfectly true, then we test that claim against the pressure points people feel right now: fear, anger, and the sense that leaders keep getting the basics wrong. Along the way, we talk through two brutal news reports tied to sexual violence and immigration policy, and I share why I think a nation cannot ignore law, borders, and victim protection without paying a serious moral price. Then we shift to something just as practical and personal: marriage. I read 1 Corinthians 7:3–6 and keep it plain, because Scripture is plain. Mutual responsibility, mutual authority, agreement, and a warning about temptation are all right there, and bad teaching in this area doesn't just confuse people, it damages homes. From there we read John 19 and sit with the cross, fulfilled prophecy, and the words that change everything: “It is finished.” We close with American Christian heritage, honoring a Medal of Honor recipient and looking at presidential oath-of-office Bible passages from Benjamin Harrison and Dwight D. Eisenhower. My point is simple: policies and elections won't save a country that won't return to God.

Nous sommes le 23 mars 1849, au lendemain d'un concert qui a eu lieu sur la scène de l'Opéra Graslin, à Nantes. Une prestation donnée au profit de la veuve et de l'orphelin d'un bassoniste mort des suites d'une longue maladie. Dans les pages culture du journal « L'Alliance », on peut lire ceci : « Jamais un violoniste n'eut une pose plus exacte, plus ferme et à la fois plus aisée, jamais l'archet ne fut guidé avec plus de précision que par cette petite Urso, dont l'accouchement fit sourire toutes les mamans … Sous ses doigts, qui sont pourtant souvent occupés à habiller une poupée, l'instrument dégage une pureté et une douceur de ton, avec une expression des plus remarquables. Chaque lumière et ombre est observée, et toutes les intentions du compositeur sont fidèlement restituées (…) Impossible de dépeindre l'ovation qu'a reçue cette enfant ». « La petite Urso ». Camille Urso. Qui est cette gamine de neuf ans qui subjugue leset les autres ? Une violoniste virtuose en herbe, à une époque où , en Europe, on peut lire, par exemple, sous la plume du dramaturge viennois,: « J'ai , je ne sais pas pourquoi, ma propre antipathie de voir une femme avec un violon, peut-être parce que je n'aime que les formes rondes, et jouer du violon fait ressortir tout ce qui est anguleux. » Camille Urso qui sera l'une des premières élèves féminines admises dans les classes de violon du Conservatoire de Paris. Donnera, tout au long de sa florissante carrière, plus de huit cent concerts, tiendra l'affiche à New York durant un demi-siècle devant, parfois, dix-mille personnes et sera reçue à la Maison Blanche par le présidenr Benjamin Harrison. Camille d'Urso qui se battra pour que les musiciennes soient engagées dans les orchestres et que leur talent soit reconnu indépendamment de leur sexe. Que reste-t-il de celle qui fut couverte de gloire à l'instar des popstars d'aujourd'hui ?

The hardest part of faith isn't usually the headlines, it's the moment someone close to you turns on you. Luke 21 names that fear out loud: betrayal by family, hatred for following Jesus, and pressure that feels bigger than you. We sit with those words and talk about what endurance actually looks like when the culture is loud, the future feels unstable, and you're tempted to panic instead of stand firm. We also move from big-picture prophecy to everyday obedience. I share why repetition in Scripture is a warning sign we shouldn't ignore, then we get painfully practical with Proverbs 21:9 and Proverbs 25:24 and what they imply about marriage, conflict, and the damage a contentious spirit can do at home. Along the way, we pray for our listeners and for the people who serve and build our communities, from law enforcement and military to tradesmen and medical workers. From there the conversation turns to nationhood: crime, immigration, assimilation, and the claim that liberty cannot last when a society rejects God. We reference an article tied to Lexington and close with a quote attributed to President Benjamin Harrison about the Bible's role in binding society together, then end in prayer. If you care about Luke 21, end times Bible teaching, persecution of Christians, Christian marriage advice, and the relationship between Christianity and the Constitution, you'll find plenty to wrestle with here.

A Black Moses: The Quest for a Promised African-American Land in Oklahoma

We all are familiar, of course, with Robert Altman's classic 1971 movie about the settling of the west, McCabe and Mrs Miller. But most of us, I'm guessing, don't know about another McCabe, this one African-American, the black Moses in fact, who almost created an African -American land in Oklahoma. McCabe's all-too-American story is told in Caleb Gayle's new book, appropriately entitled Black Moses, the saga of Edward McCabe's transformation from a Wall Street clerk to one of the first prominent American proponents of Black sepatism and self-government. What makes McCabe's story so compelling is how close he actually came to success. By the 1890s, tens of thousands of African Americans had followed him to Oklahoma Territory, establishing over fifty all-Black towns. McCabe had learned the art of selling dreams from hotel magnate Potter Palmer in Chicago, and he deployed those skills to convince Black families fleeing post-Reconstruction violence that they could build their own promised land in the American West. It's quite a story. If only Altman was around to transform this quintessentially American tale of a fresh beginning into American cinema. 1. The Power of Using America's Own Language Against ItselfMcCabe brilliantly deployed quintessentially American arguments - westward expansion, self-governance, constitutional principles - to advocate for Black separatism. Like Frederick Douglass before him, he insisted this was "a very American project" and even pitched directly to President Benjamin Harrison, using precedents like the American Colonization Society to make his case.2. How Close America Actually Came to Having a Black StateThis wasn't just a pipe dream - by the 1890s, tens of thousands of African Americans had moved to Oklahoma Territory, establishing over 50 all-Black towns. McCabe's vision of a Black-governed state with Black senators and congressmen was within reach until Oklahoma chose to "become the South" by making Jim Crow segregation its very first law.3. The Entrepreneurial Roots of Black NationalismMcCabe's transformation from Wall Street clerk to separatist leader reveals how business skills could serve radical political ends. Learning to "sell dreams" from hotel magnate Potter Palmer, he became a master at convincing Black families fleeing post-Reconstruction violence that they could build their own promised land.4. The Tragic Pattern of Zero-Sum American PoliticsThe ultimate failure of McCabe's vision - culminating in tragedies like the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre - illustrates how Black success was seen as a threat rather than an achievement. As Gayle notes, this reflects enduring "zero-sum politics" where one group's prosperity is viewed as another's loss.5. Why These "Lost" Stories Matter TodayIn an era when institutions like the Smithsonian face political pressure over African American history, Gayle argues for the importance of telling these stories "beautifully" for popular audiences, not just academics. McCabe's tale of ambition, near-success, and ultimate defeat offers both inspiration and sobering lessons about the ongoing struggle for Black belonging in America.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Learn why understanding the Declaration of Independence is important especially in these tumultuous times when patriotism is at an all time low. Discover why the Second Continental Congress decided to have a Declaration of Independence and how a committee of five of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston were chosen to draft it. Explore why John Adams insisted that Thomas Jefferson draft it, and how the Committee and the Second Continental Congress changed Jefferson's draft. Hear the entire Declaration of Independence, the most profound words written in the English language that were approved by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.Most Americans have never read the entire Declaration of Independence and have a elementary grade level understanding of it. Most remember the soaring words of the second paragraph (“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among the are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”), and maybe the last clause (“we mutually pledge our to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor”), and have not reviewed in any detail the remainder of the 1320 words. The rest is not just taxation without representation. There were 27 grievances listed by the Founding Fathers, of which taxation without representation is but one. In addition to the amazing, stirring words we are familiar with, and with the exceptions of John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin, nearly no one knows the entire roster of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The full roster of the signers is John Adams, Samuel Adams, Josiah Bartlett, Carter Braxton, Charles Carroll of Carrolton, Samuel Chase, Abraham Clark, George Clymer, William Ellery, William Floyd, Benjamin Franklin, Elbridge Gerry, Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall, John Hancock, Benjamin Harrison, John Hart, Joseph Hewes, Thomas Hayward, Jr., William Hooper, Stephen Hopkins, Francis Hopkinson, Samuel Huntington, Thomas Jefferson, Francis Lightfoot Lee, Richard Henry Lee, Francis Laws, Philip Livingston, Thomas Lynch, Jr., Thomas McKean, Arthur Middleton, Lewis Morris, Robert Morris, John Morton, Thomas Nelson, Jr. , William Paca, Robert Treat Paine, John Penn, George Read, Caesar Rodney, George Ross, Dr. Benjamin Rush, Edward Rutledge, Roger Sherman, James Smith, Richard Stockton, Thomas Stone, George Taylor, Matthew Thorton, George Walton, William Whipple, William Williams, James Wilson, John Witherspoon, Oliver Wolcott, and George Wythe.Listen at your leisure to the amazing Declaration of Independence.

What Makes Trump's Victory So Historic?

Donald Trump is now president-elect again. The polls predicted a close race with Kamala Harris, and many Americans believed the winner would not be called for multiple days.  Instead, Trump won a historic victory that became clear shortly after midnight. The 2024 presidential election was filled with surprises, historic firsts, and political shifts.    Trump is only the second president in U.S. history to win two nonconsecutive terms. Democrat Grover Cleveland served as president from 1885-1889 but lost reelection to Benjamin Harrison. He went on to run again, win, and serve as president from 1893-1897.  Trump, however, becomes the first Republican president to be elected to nonconsecutive terms.    Early Wednesday morning, Americans not only learned that Trump had won the electoral vote but the popular vote, which eluded him in 2016 and 2020. A Republican has not won the popular vote since George W. Bush did it in 2004.    The political Left may be likely to remind Americans that Trump is the first convicted felon to win the presidency. At age 78, Trump also becomes the oldest president to be elected.    Trump's victory also represents a historic shift away from the traditional Republican Party. Endorsements and support from figures such as entrepreneur Elon Musk, activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and comedian-podcaster Joe Rogan apparently attracted voters to Trump who otherwise might have chosen to back another candidate, or not vote at all.  Although Musk, Kennedy, Rogan, and Trump himself promote many conservative policies, they are a far cry from the Republican Party of 50 or 60 years ago.    On this week's episode of “Problematic Women,” we discuss the historic nature of the 2024 presidential election and reflect on the biggest moments of the campaign season.

Please pause your celebrations of Benjamin Harrison and James Buchanan on this Presidents Day and join Jim and Greg for good, bad, and crazy martinis.First, after a few opening thoughts on how celebrating Washington and Lincoln has now been diluted into recognizing all presidents and how we can reverse this, Jim and Greg dig into an ABC News report on how the strongest states economically are predominantly red states. However, the story spends much more time asserting that better weather and progressive cities in red states are the key to success and attracting more businesses and employees. However, the real reasons are simple: lower taxes, right to work laws, and less regulation.They also welcome a more formal State Department Inspector General investigation into the rather abrupt dismissal and stripping of security clearance for Biden's Iran envoy, Robert Malley. The Semafor story breaking the news also lays out red flags concerning Malley before Biden even took office. Finally, they welcome Egypt's foreign minister getting fed up with Hamas for refusing to recognize Israel and failing to renounce its genocidal tactics in order to bring a ceasefire to the area.And please enjoy the Presidents Day special Jim and I did about four underappreciated presidents back in 2020. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/america-s-underappreciated-presidents--22780285Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniStay connected with the Patriot Power Solar Generator 2000X on sale now.
