Podcasts about Boston Tea Party

Assassin's Creed III recreates many key events from the American Revolution, including the Boston Tea Party, when colonists resisted British taxes by dumping tea into Boston Harbor. But the game challenges the popular perception of the protest as a pure and noble defiance of tyranny. In fact, the legend of the Party started to develop nearly half a century after the event. What were the true motives of the Sons of Liberty? Did they really dress up as Native Americans? Was the Boston Tea Party as impactful as its reputation suggests? And how much tea did they destroy?Matt Lewis is joined by Prof. James Fichter, author of Tea: Consumption, Politics, and Revolution 1773-1776, to explain the real intentions and outcomes of the Boston Tea Party.Listen to our previous expert chats about the Declaration Of Independence and the Battles of Lexington & Conchord.Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.

As the episode gears up for Bronwyn's American citizenship celebration of a "Spill the Boston Tea Party", we get a tense scene between Whitney and Justin that delves into her fillings of resentment about the MLM debacle that wiped out Wild Rose Beauty. Also, Heather reflects on another daughter leaving for college, Bronwyn fulfills her charitable orders of Pride flags with her mother, and explains her regret about losing Whitney's trust to Tater Todd while she's dressed as an inflatable sloth. At the Tea Party, Meredith and Whitney go head to head again over what did or didn't happen on that mystery flight, and why, as allegations of drug and/or alcohol abuse fly amidst chilled caviar and drug tests.

But first, they discuss Bryan Johnson's cringey declaration of love towards his longtime girlfriend/immortality assistant, shattering Lara's plan to woo him.On RHOSLC, Bronwyn continues her impeccable revenge campaign against Mr. Farts (Todd) and Muzzy by fetching Todd at the airport in a sloth costume and forcing Muzzy to mail Pride flags to protest anti-LGBTQ laws in Utah, much to Muzzy's Mormon chagrin.

Many people don't respect those they disagree with, but they couldn't be more wrong. In this episode, Dr. Rick discusses how respect restores an American culture and why you should remain a figure of honor and dignity (even with those you disagree with). Show Highlights Include: How sitting on the front porch with your neighbors builds a foundation of respect and civility (that will inspire everyone in your family). (0:30) What the Boston Tea Party taught us about dealing with conflict and how you can grow with dignity in your next heated argument. (3:51) Why the U.S Military takes respect to the next level - and why you should treat others with the same honor.

Marnix van Rij heeft een hele loopbaan in politiek en bestuur achter de rug. Raadslid, wethouder, CDA-partijvoorzitter, Eerste-Kamerlid, nog een keer partijvoorzitter ad interim, staatssecretaris fiscaliteit en Belastingdienst in Rutte IV en nu plaatsvervangend bewindvoerder bij het IMF in Washington. Zijn nieuwe boek Reflecties van een politieke optimist gaat over de voorbije vijf jaar en de vele perikelen die hij in die partij en dat kabinet van zeer dichtbij meemaakte. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten met hem over de lessen uit die troebelen en de mensen en momenten die daarvoor bepalend waren. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Begin 2021 viel hij in als CDA-voorzitter nadat Rutger Ploum de verantwoordelijkheid voor de missers in de verkiezingscampagne op zich had genomen. Een verlies van 19 naar 15 zetels bleek nog het minste pijnpunt. Van Rij ontdekte dat de partijtop en de organisatie overladen waren met een reeks conflicten, frustraties en pijnpunten. Het leiderschap van Wopke Hoekstra was aangeslagen, bewindslieden communiceerden niet meer met elkaar, Mona Keijzer werd door Mark Rutte zelfs ontslagen. De achterban roerde zich, niet in het minst de mensen en afdelingen die zich vooral thuis voelden bij Pieter Omtzigt. Maar die was overspannen afgehaakt, hield hof in Enschede en richtte uiteindelijk een eigen partij op. In retrospectief ziet Van Rij dat Omtzigt zijn partij gijzelde door vaag te blijven over zijn intenties, zijn mate van loyaliteit en de behoefte om zijn gekwetste gemoed te laten strelen. Daarbij merkte hij dat Omtzigt niet was wie hij meende te zijn. Bij hem was sprake was van een radicalisering waarin hij ontkoppeld raakte van de christendemocratie. Ook Van Rij slaagde er niet in een dialoog zonder wantrouwen te laten ontstaan - ook al omdat Omtzigt zich ondanks zijn slechte toestand in hoge mate bleef mengen in het Haagse en interne CDA-debat. Toen uit zijn kring van medestanders een geheim evaluatiedocument gelekt werd, was zijn rol uitgespeeld, ondanks alle pogingen hem 'bij de club te houden'. Terugblikkend stelt Van Rij dat het vertrek van Omtzigt – en ook van Mona Keijzer, die naar BBB overstapte – uiteindelijk bevrijdend werkte. Een nieuwe generatie met een eigentijds wereldbeeld kon het CDA nu nieuw perspectief geven. Terwijl hij in Rutte IV als staatssecretaris zijn handen vol had, werd hij in de kabinetsformatie van 2023-2024 juist door Omtzigt en diens NSC intensief geraadpleegd. Geert Wilders polste hem daarop als informateur, om Ronald Plasterk op te volgen. Van Rij vond Plasterks werkwijze onzuiver en de uitkomst tamelijk funest. Niettemin werd hij door NSC alvast gepolst of hij niet zou willen aanblijven op Financiën, gelet op de grote problemen daar en de afhandeling van de toeslagenellende. Hij zei niet meteen nee, zo blijkt. In de volgende fase van de kabinetsformatie tussen PVV, VVD, NSC en BBB werd het nog gekker. Omtzigt nodigde Van Rij uit voor een gesprek en vertelde ‘dat dit een dag zou worden die ik nooit zou vergeten’. Want nadat Plasterk zich wegens een integriteitskwestie onmogelijk had gemaakt, zou Wilders hem gaan polsen voor het premierschap. Hoewel de nieuwe CDA-leider Henri Bontenbal helder had gesteld geen CDA'ers in het nieuwe kabinet te willen zien, ging Van Rij toch praten. Het gesprek met formateur Richard van Zwol en de vier fractieleiders duurde een uur. Duidelijk werd dat een premier van buiten de coalitie meer een etalagepop zou worden dan een leider. Het hoofdlijnenakkoord was bovendien zo anti-Europees dat Van Rij daar toch wel buikpijn van kreeg. En: “Als democraat vond ik dat Wilders zélf premier had moeten worden." Toen werd het Dick Schoof, de laatste in het rijtje potentiële premiers. Voor de huidige kabinetsformatie komt Van Rij met nuttige wenken. En uit zijn werk in Rutte IV heeft hij twee cruciale agendapunten waar een nieuw kabinet direct 'meters kan maken'. Het saneren van ondoelmatige fiscale regelingen is helder in kaart gebracht. Hier is een ruimte van tientallen miljarden belastinggeld die veel effectiever ingezet kunnen worden. Als wezenlijke les uit de enquêtes en rapportages over het falen van overheidsinstanties zou een nieuw kabinet een Nederlandse versie van het Amerikaanse 'Handvest voor de rechten van belastingbetalers en toeslagengerechtigden' kunnen vaststellen. Burgers en uitvoeringsorganisaties weten dan wat zulke rechten zijn en hoe burgers met respect en helderheid bejegend moeten worden. "Zo bouw je aan herstel van vertrouwen." *** Verder luisteren 382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party en de rechtsbescherming van belastingbetalers in Nederland 291 – De dubbele jaren van staatssecretaris Marnix van Rij 545 - Het verfijnde advies van Wouter Koolmees en de struikelpartij van Hans Wijers, die de toekomstagenda al in z'n hoofd had 543 – Kabinetsformatie: Hoe verkenner Wouter Koolmees een ‘nieuw moment’ kan creëren 541 - De terugkeer van het politieke midden 501 - Den Haag zonder Omtzigt en een Voorjaarsnota zonder beleid 491 - De voortdurende twijfels van Nieuw Sociaal Contract 448 - Premier zonder kompas 410 - De Pirouette van Putters 398 - Kabinetsformatie 2024: de lege stoel van Pieter Omtzigt 386 – Ronald Plasterk, een verkenner met passie 212 - Het CDA zoekt zichzelf, Richard van Zwol en Pieter Jan Dijkman wijzen de weg *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:39:39 – Deel 2 01:03:30 – Deel 3 01:21:24 – EindeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Political violence isn't an aberration in American democracy — it's a defining trait. From the Boston Tea Party to January 6, it's how we settle our differences.My guest on this WhoWhatWhy podcast is professor Matthew Dallek of George Washington University. The author of numerous books and papers on political violence, including the definitive history of the John Birch Society. Dallek argues we're living through an “era of violent populism” — driven by institutional distrust, dehumanizing rhetoric, and social media acceleration.Every time political violence erupts in America, we fall back on the same comforting phrase: “This isn't who we are.” But what if we have it exactly backwards?

Greg Jenner is joined in the 18th century by Professor Frank Cogliano and comedian and actor Patton Oswalt to learn about the American War of Independence. Also known as the American Revolutionary War, 2025 marks 250 years since the start of the conflict in 1775, when the first battles between the British army and the colonial resistance were fought at Lexington and Concord. But what caused Britain's North American colonies to rebel against the king and government in London? At what point did they start to see themselves as American and not British? And how did a colonial militia take on an imperial superpower?This episode charts the growing rift between Britain and its American colonists, taking in famous events like the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the calling of the first Continental Congress, all the way through to the Declaration of Independence and the course of the revolutionary war itself. We learn how America fought to free itself from the shackles of British rule, and meet some well-known names from history, including Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and George Washington. And we also ask whose freedom was being fought for, and who – such as Black and Indigenous Americans – got left behind.This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode.

Before the Boston Tea Party, there was the Pine Tree Riot of 1772 in Weare, New Hampshire. When colonists violently rebelled against Britain's claim to their white pine trees, they set in motion a chain of events that would spark the American Revolution. Join Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger as they uncover this little-known act of defiance that changed history.

The First Continental Congress met in 1774 to respond to the hated Coercive Acts - Parliament's brutal punishment for the Boston Tea Party. They had a decision: submit to tyranny, or resist. Their answer was the Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress. On this episode, one of the most important and most forgotten documents of the American Revolution. A direct precursor to both the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. The post This Wasn't a Request. It Was a Refusal. first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

De verkiezingen van 29 oktober gaan over de koers en de toekomst van ons land. En dus over het geld dat we daar voor over hebben en hoe dat bijeen gebracht wordt. De rijksfinanciën en de belastingen zijn dan ook een belangrijk politiek thema. Hoe laat het kabinet-Schoof deze achter? Wat is urgent bij inkomsten en uitgaven van de rijksoverheid? Wat is voor de lange termijn essentieel? Weke plannen van de partijen verdienen daarbij aandacht? En welk Tweede-Kamerlid excelleert op dit wezenlijke terrein? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger praten hierover met Djoeke Altena, politiek columnist van Weekblad Fiscaal Recht en website TaxLive. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Maar het begrotingstekort schuurt tegen de grens van 3 procent van het bnp aan en gaat er waarschijnlijk overheen. De staatsschuld daalt niet langer maar schiet omhoog, de komende jaren maskeren fantoomdekkingen een ondeugdelijke begroting, terwijl de noodzakelijke investeringen geschrapt zijn voor consumptieve cadeautjes aan de kiezers. Toezichthoudende organisaties - van Rekenkamer tot Europese Commissie - luiden de noodklok. Djoeke Altena waarschuwt: “Het komende kabinet zal voor noodzakelijke investeringen en hersteloperaties veel geld moeten vinden. Dat kunnen de partijen nu in de campagne maar beter eerlijk toegeven." Het komende kabinet moet zich met spoed buigen over dreigende gaten en niet opgeloste problemen, zoals bij de beruchte Box-3, het 'ravijnjaar' dat de gemeenten bedreigt, de Europese meerjarenbegroting en de lange termijn investeringsfondsen. De vijf staatssecretarissen die in ‘Schoof’ met belastingen en toeslagen belast waren, hebben niet veel gedaan - of kunnen doen. Gelukkig gaat het bij de Belastingdienst zelf de goede kant op, meldt Djoeke Altena. Nog even en de dienst kan grote veranderingen weer aan. Er zijn veel fiscale regelingen die niet doen wat ze zouden moeten doen, maar hardnekkig gehandhaafd worden vanwege deelbelangen. Ook Rekenkamerpresident Pieter Duisenberg wees hier al op. Toch is ook hier door Schoofs kabinet slechts €7 miljoen gesaneerd, hoewel volgens deskundigen 35 miljard euro weggesaneerd zou kunnen worden. Snel kan een nieuw kabinet werk maken van betere fiscale rechtsbescherming. Djoeke Altena wijst op initiatieven van Nina Olson – de voormalige Tax Payer Advocate in Amerika - die in ons land inmiddels zijn overgenomen, zoals het Handvest van Rechten en Plichten. Zoiets kost niets, maar heeft veel impact voor burgers. In de komende kabinetsformatie zouden constructieve partijen een coherente, integrale vereenvoudiging van het fiscaal stelsel moeten afspreken. Niet-werkende fiscale regelingen, duidelijkheid over vermogens en erfenissen en lagere lasten op arbeid en duurzame productie en consumptie zijn al gedegen voorbereid, maar tijdens het kabinet-Schoof blijven liggen. Verdere vertraging is erg kostbaar en geeft bedrijven niet de duidelijkheid waar ze naar snakken. Lezend in de verkiezingsprogramma’s ziet Djoeke Altena opmerkelijke plannen. Zo poogt de PVV de boerenachterban van BBB opzichtig te paaien met fiscale cadeaus en wil ze kunstminnaars juist op kosten jagen. De VVD komt met een serie nieuwe wetten die ondernemers en werkenden moeten helpen. Maar de verfoeide regeldruk wordt daarmee allerminst verminderd. Boeiend is dat veel partijen met eigen plannen komen voor afschaffing van de hypotheekrenteaftrek. De fiscaal specialisten in de Kamer kunnen met doordachte compromissen bijdragen aan de noodzakelijke doorbraken op al deze thema's. Hun inzet is groot, maar ze worden zelden geroemd. Djoeke Altena vertelt dat hier verandering in komt. De Bond voor Belastingbetalers zet vanaf nu jaarlijks de meest effectieve en creatieve volksvertegenwoordiger in het zonnetje. Aan het einde van deze aflevering maakt hij namens de Bond bekend wie de eerste laureaat is… *** Verder luisteren 529 – Schoten voor de boeg in de verkiezingscampagne https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/529-schoten-voor-de-boeg 525 –Wat Brainport Eindhoven ons leert en hoe we onze economie nóg toekomstbestendiger kunnen maken https://omny.fm/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/525-wat-brainport-eindhoven-ons-leert-en-hoe-we-onze-economie-n-g-toekomstbestendiger-maken 516 – Files op het elektriciteitsnet: de energietransitie dreigt slachtoffer te worden van het eigen succes https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/54ccc73e-4200-4dbc-87c8-213c70e97491 507 - Het strenge oordeel van Rekenkamerpresident Pieter Duisenberg https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/19fb3651-29be-49dd-854b-eeb65ec692ff 501 - Den Haag zonder Omtzigt en een Voorjaarsnota zonder beleid https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/03d5c905-9a8d-474c-980c-5e8dd7f209a9 493 - Het belastingkaartenhuis wankelt https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/8e0d7872-9be8-439b-94cc-911bf8f7509e 426 - Een doodgewoon meerderheidskabinet met een allesbepalende financiële plaat https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/efb48549-3266-405e-8a97-ddc3e6b4e486 382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party en de rechtsbescherming van belastingbetalers in Nederland https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/c44ec04f-9408-41be-b5e3-3fab8905ab66 291 – De dubbele jaren van staatssecretaris Marnix van Rij https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/2ae6cd4c-9054-4d48-8481-b868182cace2 275 - Nina Olson: Waarom Nederland net als de VS een Taxpayer Advocate moet krijgen https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/07aa7c05-edf7-4dac-a292-dd8ba7a2a5d1 247 - Belastingheffing in box 3: hoe de Hoge Raad de wetgever op de vingers tikt en opzadelt met een hels karwei https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/cd788cd0-6982-444e-901f-f695ea8e2c79/ 147 – De kindertoeslagaffaire: het ging al mis bij de wetgeving https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/b08f3ba1-eb89-4740-a5e7-8d3211038a26 17 - Hoe Rekenkamerpresident Arno Visser de overheid controleert https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/9052a9fc-235a-493c-aa5f-104e61d25ddd *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:29:24 – Deel 2 01:02:15 – deel 3 01:24:13 – Einde See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Boston is one of those cities that just gets under your skin in the best way possible. Equal parts old-school history and modern-day hustle, it's where cobblestone streets meet glass skyscrapers, where the story of America was born, and where you can eat your body weight in lobster rolls without a shred of regret.Founded in 1630 by English Puritans, Boston has played host to some of the most pivotal events in U.S. history—the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and even the first public park in America. Today, it's a vibrant mix of college-town energy, cutting-edge innovation, and diehard sports fandom (you'll never hear a “Go Sox!” shouted with more passion than here).I recently spent five days exploring Boston like a local, armed with a loose plan, comfy walking shoes, and an appetite big enough to conquer the city's legendary food scene. Here's how it all went down—my perfect Boston adventure. Day 1: Arrival & First Taste of the CityFlying into Logan International Airport is a breeze—it's practically right in the city. But here's your first Boston pro-tip: skip renting a car if you can. Boston traffic is next-level chaotic, parking is expensive, and the city is surprisingly walkable. Between the subway (locals call it “the T”) and Uber, you'll get around just fine.Of course, I had to test the rental car waters—$368 for two days of a Nissan Rogue—and let me tell you, the line alone made me question my life choices. If you do rent, book with a company that lets you walk straight to the garage and grab your car. Otherwise, hop in an Uber and save yourself the headache.Where to StayI split my stay between two totally different vibes:Hampton Inn & Suites Watertown – Budget-friendly ($100 a night) and great if you don't mind being just outside the city. Parking in Boston can run you $30 a day, so staying here helped balance the budget.Copley Square Hotel (FOUND Hotels) – Right in the heart of Back Bay, this historic gem ranges from $300–$600 a night. My corner-view studio overlooked the breathtaking Trinity Church at sunset, and it felt like waking up inside a postcard. Designed in 1877 by architect H.H. Richardson, this place is dripping with Richardsonian Romanesque charm—arched windows, rough stone, and colorful details. Around Copley, you'll also find:Fairmont Copley Plaza (1912) – A Gilded Age beauty and part of the Historic Hotels of America.Boston Public Library McKim Building (1895) – A Renaissance Revival masterpiece with white marble halls and free daily tours at 2 pm. Don't skip it; the architecture is jaw-dropping.Old South Church (1873) – A National Historic Landmark in Northern Italian Gothic style, complete with multicolored stone and a towering bell.John Hancock Tower (1976) – Boston's tallest skyscraper at 790 feet, shimmering in blue glass.After a long travel day, we celebrated our first night with dinner at Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar. Order the lobster guacamole and grilled elote—and when in Boston, remember the golden rule: always order seafood. Steaks are for later. Oh, and if you see Scrod on the menu? Don't panic. It's not a weird mythical fish; it's just the white catch of the day—usually cod or haddock. Day 2: Walking Through HistoryIf Boston had a greatest hits album, it would be the Freedom Trail—a 2.5-mile path that connects 16 historic sites and tells the story of America's revolution. You can do it self-guided, join a regular tour, or go all out with an actor-led adventure (think Paul Revere cosplay).Morning Coffee & Boston CommonStart with caffeine at Thinking Cup Coffee Bar, then wander into Boston Common, the oldest public park in America (1634). It's massive, filled with monuments, and now home to the striking Embrace Memorial, honoring Martin Luther King Jr.From there, the trail unfolds like a time machine:Massachusetts State House (1798) – Charles Bulfinch's golden-domed wonder, still home to the state government.Park Street Church (1809) – Once Boston's tallest landmark, it sits on the site of the city's old grain storage.Granary Burying Ground (1660) – Final resting place of heavyweights like John Hancock, Sam Adams, and Paul Revere.King's Chapel & Burying Ground (1686) – Boston's first Anglican church, with over 330 years of history.Boston Latin School Site (1635) – The oldest public school in America; today it's marked by a Benjamin Franklin statue.Old Corner Bookstore (1718) – Once the publishing hub of legends like Hawthorne, Longfellow, and Thoreau. Now… a Chipotle (I wish I were kidding).Lunch at Union Oyster HouseBy now, you'll be starving. Enter Union Oyster House, America's oldest continuously operating restaurant (since 1826). The JFK booth is a must-sit, and yes—you're ordering a lobster roll.Afternoon: Monuments & Baseball MagicDon't miss the New England Holocaust Memorial—six glass towers etched with survivor stories, both sobering and moving.Then, if you're lucky enough to visit in season, cap off your night at Fenway Park. Whether it's catching a Red Sox game, snagging early batting practice passes, or just soaking up the energy at Cask 'n Flagon across the street (hot tip: persistence pays when getting a table here), Fenway is pure Boston. Day 3: More Freedom Trail & North End TreatsStart with breakfast at Quincy Market, the ultimate food hall. Then dive back into history:Old South Meeting House (1729) – Where colonists debated tea taxes and kicked off the Boston Tea Party.Old State House (1713) – Boston's oldest public building, central to colonial politics.Boston Massacre Site (1770) – A simple cobblestone marker for one of America's darkest sparks of revolution.From here, pop back into Quincy Market for another lobster roll (yes, it's worth a second one).Keep following the trail:Faneuil Hall (1742) – “Cradle of Liberty” where fiery speeches once filled the air. Today, it's mostly a giant souvenir shop, but the echoes of history remain.Paul Revere House (1680) – The patriot's humble home. Tours are intimate but no photos allowed inside.Old North Church (1723) – Where lanterns signaled “One if by land, two if by sea.” Take the tour to see the crypt and bell chamber.Cannoli TimeBoston's North End is an Italian dreamland, so refuel at Mike's Pastry with a giant cannoli. (Pro tip: get a few extra to-go. You'll thank me later.)End the night at Bell in Hand Tavern (1795), America's oldest continuously operating tavern. It's rowdy, it's historic, and it's the perfect spot for your nightcap. Day 4: Big Battles & Big ShipsIf your legs aren't jelly yet, tackle the Bunker Hill Monument. Climb the 294 steps for killer views of the city.From there, wander over to the USS Constitution, aka “Old Ironsides,” the oldest commissioned warship afloat. The ship and museum are free and make for an epic history-meets-maritime adventure.For a modern twist, hop in an Uber to the JFK Presidential Library & Museum—a sleek, inspiring deep dive into the Camelot era. Afterward, head to Sam Adams Brewery in Jamaica Plain. Tours start at $10, include tastings, and give you all the Boston beer vibes. Day 5: Art, Rainy-Day Magic & Sunset on the HarborBoston weather can turn on a dime, so I saved indoor treasures for day five.Morning: Museum of Fine ArtsThe MFA is massive, so choose wisely:Jewelry lovers: Beyond Brilliance exhibit (ancient to modern sparkle, with Chanel and Bulgari highlights).Classicists: Greek, Roman, and Byzantine collections.Painters-at-heart: Dutch & Flemish gallery with works by Rembrandt and Rubens.Quirky souls: Dollhouses and temporary Van Gogh exhibits.Fuel up at the museum café before heading out.Evening: Sunset Harbor CruiseOur trip ended on the water, with a Boston Harbor sunset cruise. Even in the rain, the top deck views were worth it. There's a buffet dinner, DJ, and plenty of space to dance—because no Boston trip is complete without one last celebration. Other Boston Must-Dos (If You Have Time)Duck Boat Tour – Amphibious buses that roam the streets then splash into the Charles River. Cheesy? Yes. Fun? Also yes.Cheers Pub – Grab a drink where everybody used to know your name.Green Dragon Tavern – A revolutionary haunt turned modern-day pub.Boston Burger Co. or Wahlburgers – Because you need at least one outrageous burger on this trip. Final ThoughtsBoston is the kind of city that can be done in a weekend but deserves a week. It's history you can touch, seafood you'll crave long after, and neighborhoods that feel like they've been waiting just for you.If you only had one day, I'd say walk the Freedom Trail—it's Boston in a nutshell. But if you want to experience the city like a local? Take your time, eat the lobster rolls, get lost in the cobblestone streets, and maybe—just maybe—let Fenway turn you into a Red Sox fan for life.Boston, you're wicked awesome.

This Day in Legal History: First Continental CongressOn September 5, 1774, the First Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia, marking a critical early step toward American independence. Delegates from twelve of the thirteen colonies—Georgia being the sole exception—gathered at Carpenters' Hall to coordinate a colonial response to the "Intolerable Acts," a series of punitive measures imposed by the British Parliament in the wake of the Boston Tea Party. These acts, which included the Boston Port Act and the Massachusetts Government Act, were seen by the colonists as severe violations of their rights as Englishmen.The Congress brought together influential figures such as George Washington, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and John Jay. Though the colonies had differing interests and levels of loyalty to the Crown, the delegates united in their desire to assert colonial rights through collective action. They adopted the Suffolk Resolves, endorsed a boycott of British goods through the Continental Association, and agreed to reconvene the following year if their grievances were not addressed.Rather than immediately pushing for independence, the First Continental Congress aimed to restore harmony with Britain while defending colonial autonomy. It drafted a Declaration of Rights and Grievances, emphasizing allegiance to the Crown but rejecting parliamentary authority over the colonies in matters of internal governance.This Congress laid the groundwork for future intercolonial cooperation and demonstrated that the colonies could act in concert. Its organizational structure, with committees and formal resolutions, prefigured the eventual legislative model adopted under the U.S. Constitution. While King George III and Parliament ultimately ignored the Congress's petitions, the gathering significantly escalated the political crisis that would lead to the American Revolutionary War.Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett said this week that, despite political polarization and President Trump's aggressive use of executive power, the U.S. is not experiencing a constitutional crisis. Whew! Speaking at New York's Lincoln Center while promoting her new book, Listening to the Law, Barrett emphasized that the Constitution is “alive and well,” and that American institutions—particularly the courts—are still functioning effectively. Her remarks come amid widespread concern over Trump's second-term policies, including sweeping immigration crackdowns, tariff impositions, and rollbacks of diversity programs, many of which have been challenged in court.Federal judges have repeatedly halted or delayed Trump's initiatives, leading to sharp criticism from the president. Earlier this year, Trump even called for the impeachment of a federal judge, raising alarms among legal scholars. Despite these tensions, Barrett asserted that a real constitutional crisis would require the collapse of the rule of law—something she doesn't see happening.Barrett also defended her controversial vote to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022, arguing that Supreme Court decisions shouldn't be influenced by shifting public opinion. While support for abortion rights has grown in recent years, Barrett stood by the Court's direction, which has taken a decisively conservative turn since her appointment in 2020. Her comments signal confidence in the judiciary's resilience during politically charged times.Supreme Court's Barrett says US not in constitutional crisis | ReutersU.S. prosecutors are aggressively charging individuals in Washington, D.C. with assaulting or resisting federal officers under a new DOJ-led law enforcement push, but the initiative is drawing scrutiny due to its stark contrast with President Trump's earlier decision to dismiss or pardon many January 6-related assault charges. A Bloomberg Law review found at least 20 new federal cases that closely resemble charges from the Capitol riot—charges that Trump has largely wiped away. Critics argue that this inconsistency undermines prosecutorial credibility and raises concerns about politicization of the Justice Department.Some judges and grand juries have echoed that skepticism. In one case, a magistrate judge cited the Jan. 6 clemencies in deciding not to detain a man charged with threatening a National Guard member. Prosecutors have also struggled to secure felony indictments, including in a case where a former DOJ employee was accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal officer. These outcomes point to juror reluctance in cases they may view as politically selective.U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is leading the local effort and has acknowledged the difficulty of securing convictions. Some cases involve more serious allegations—kicking, hitting, or spitting on officers—while others stem from lower-level confrontations, including a disputed video involving immigration agents.Meanwhile, defendants and defense attorneys are raising claims of selective prosecution, citing the dismissal of hundreds of Jan. 6 assault cases still pending when Trump returned to office. One high-profile example involves Rep. LaMonica McIver, whose lawyers argue her case—stemming from a confrontation with immigration officers—is being pursued for political reasons. Prosecutors have already been forced to downgrade multiple cases from felonies to misdemeanors due to lack of support from grand juries.DOJ Crime Crackdown Clashes With Jan. 6 Cases Trump ForgaveA federal appeals court has temporarily blocked a lower court's ruling that would have restricted President Trump's use of military troops for immigration enforcement and crowd control in Los Angeles. The move preserves Trump's authority to use active-duty military and National Guard personnel in support of federal agents while the case is under appeal. The original ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, found that the administration had violated the Posse Comitatus Act, a law dating back to the 1800s that limits military involvement in domestic law enforcement.Breyer's decision, which would have barred military personnel from performing police functions in California, was scheduled to take effect on September 12 but is now on hold as the 9th Circuit reviews the appeal. The legal fight stems from Trump's June deployment of over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to Los Angeles during protests over federal immigration policies. Though most of the protests have since calmed, around 300 National Guard troops remain on the ground, supporting immigration and drug enforcement operations.Critics argue that Trump's use of the military in civilian law enforcement roles marks a dangerous shift in executive power. The same day the 9th Circuit paused Breyer's ruling, Washington, D.C.'s attorney general filed a lawsuit challenging similar military deployments in the capital. Trump has also signaled interest in expanding military involvement to other cities like Chicago and New Orleans.US appeals court pauses restrictions on Trump's use of troops in Los Angeles | ReutersGoogle has been hit with a $425 million jury verdict in a major privacy class action, after a last-minute law firm switch brought Cooley LLP into the case. Originally led by Willkie Farr, the defense team—headed by partners Benedict Hur and Simona Agnolucci—jumped to Cooley in June, just weeks before trial. Cooley took over the multibillion-dollar case and brought in additional lawyers to assist. The abrupt law firm change followed internal dissent at Willkie over a controversial agreement with the Trump administration requiring pro bono work aligned with White House directives.The case centered on allegations that Google collected data from nearly 100 million users despite their account settings indicating they wanted to keep their information private. After a two-week trial in San Francisco, the jury sided with the plaintiffs, led by prominent attorneys from Morgan & Morgan, Boies Schiller Flexner, and Susman Godfrey. While the plaintiffs had sought $31 billion, the jury awarded just over 1% of that amount.Google said it will appeal, claiming the jury misunderstood how its privacy settings function. The plaintiffs' legal team, however, called the verdict a clear message about unauthorized data collection. The firms behind the case have brought similar lawsuits, including one over Google's Chrome “Incognito” mode, which resulted in a settlement earlier this year that forced the company to destroy billions of data records.Google trial ends with $425 million verdict after Cooley inherits privacy case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Amy Beach.This week's closing theme features the elegant and expressive piano miniatures of Beach, one of the most important American composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A prodigy and largely self-taught composer, Beach broke barriers as the first American woman to write a symphony performed by a major orchestra and became a central figure in the Boston musical scene. Her works span symphonic, choral, chamber, and solo piano music, all marked by lyrical intensity and harmonic richness.Composed in 1892, her Four Sketches, Op. 15 for solo piano offers a vivid, compact display of her early voice as a composer. Each short piece evokes a distinct atmosphere: In Autumn captures seasonal change with swirling colors; Phantoms conjures mysterious shadows; Dreaming drifts into quiet introspection; and Fireflies sparkles with quick, darting motion. Though brief, these character pieces are finely crafted, offering emotional depth and technical elegance.As our closing music, Beach's Sketches remind us how much can be said in miniature—and how, even in the restrictive musical culture of her time, she composed with clarity, beauty, and unmistakable individuality.Without further ado, Amy Beach's Four Sketches, Op. 15 – enjoy!  This is a public episode.

Wie gelingt der Aufstieg zur führenden globalen Wirtschaftsnation? Nach der Boston Tea Party und dem Unabhängigkeitskrieg hatten sich die Amerikaner von den Briten zwar gelöst, doch ein ebenso wichtiger Kampf lag noch vor ihnen. Die USA waren am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts weit entfernt von einer kapitalistischen Industrie. Farmer bestimmten das Land, was Thomas Jefferson und seine Mitstreiter auch eigentlich nicht ändern wollten. Anders sah dies hingegen Alexander Hamilton, der fest davon ausging, dass man dringend einen Finanzsektor und ein modernes Bankenwesen benötigte, um prosperieren zu können. Diese Position hatte es zunächst schwer, aber sie war tatsächlich entscheidend für die Entwicklung der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Das „land of the free“ führte schon vor 200 Jahren eine Grundsatzdebatte, die noch heute viele aktuelle Diskurse in den USA bestimmt. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M.

Washington, D.C. isn't just a backdrop of monuments and marble. It's a living, breathing city—home to more than 700,000 people who work, who raise kids, who build their lives here. Known for decades as Chocolate City, D.C. carries a proud history of Black culture and resilience. And yet, unlike every other city in the United States, its residents watch democracy without fully taking part in it. They pay billions in federal taxes. They serve in the military. And still, they live under taxation without representation—the very injustice that fueled the Boston Tea Party and launched the American Revolution. More than two centuries later, the capital of the United States remains the only city where that founding demand is still denied. And here's the twist—this federal district is saturated with law enforcement. Dozens of agencies with arresting authority overlap in the same small space: the Metropolitan Police, Capitol Police, DEA, FBI, Secret Service, Park Police, Transit Police. And more recently, the National Guard and ICE. A city layered with power, yet stripped of the most basic power its people should hold—the right to representation in Congress. This is Dispatch from the Heartland. In today's episode, Ty Hobson Powell brings urgency and fire to the fight for DC statehood, making the case to Corbett Landes and Tammy Buckner that it's time for the capital to finally become the 51st state. This isn't just politics. It's about identity, equality, and the unfinished promise of democracy in the United States. We're at Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska—join us, won't you?"

Aufstände gegen Zölle und Steuern, eine irrlichternde Großmacht, Eliten, die populistische Töne anschlagen, um ihre Interessen durchzusetzen. Willkommen in der Gegenwart oder im Jahr 1773, im Jahr der Boston Tea Party. Die britischen Kriege gegen Frankreich hatten enorme Schulden verursacht, weshalb London 1765 die umstrittene Stempelsteuer einführte. Die Kolonien in Amerika, ohne Vertretung im Parlament, sahen darin einen Verstoß gegen das Prinzip „No taxation without representation“ und reagierten mit Boykotten und Protesten. Zwar zog Großbritannien viele Steuern zurück, behielt jedoch den Tee-Zoll bei. Die Krise der East India Company führte 1773 außerdem zu dem unausgegorenen Plan, deren Tee durch Steuererstattung günstiger als den holländischen Schmuggeltee zu machen – verbunden mit einem Handelsmonopol für wenige ausgewählte Importeure. Für amerikanische Konsumenten wäre der Tee eher billiger geworden, doch es regte sich der Widerstand in Teilen der Elite, schließlich wurden von den Sons of Liberty in Boston 342 Kisten Tee ins Hafenbecken geworfen. Die Boston Tea Party gilt bis heute als Anti-Steuer-Protest, obwohl sie vor allem das Resultat von Handelsinteressen war, die sich mit einem breiten Freiheitsdrang und viel Populismus verbanden und bis heute das amerikanische Selbstverständnis prägen.

Was America's Independence Day influenced by secret societies? In this insightful episode of the Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, we take a deep dive into July 4th, 1776, unraveling the layers of history, rebellion, and the potential shadowy ties of Freemasonry. This critical examination blends 60% verified historical accounts with 40% plausible conspiracy theories, offering a unique perspective on one of the most iconic dates in American history. From the Boston Tea Party to the Continental Congress debates, we explore the revolutionary ideals sparked by figures like Jefferson and Franklin—many of whom had documented ties to Masonic lodges. Could the Declaration of Independence carry hidden meanings or esoteric roots linked to Freemason networks or even the Illuminati? We also bust popular myths, including the idea of a July 4th mass signing, and dive into the symbolism that continues to intrigue theorists today.As a podcaster, historian enthusiast, and CEO of Command Your Brand, I've interviewed countless experts to bring you the most thought-provoking insights into America's founding. This must-watch episode challenges conventional narratives, highlights Enlightenment philosophies, and addresses why July 4th remains a flashpoint for both history and conspiracy.Join the conversation by commenting on your take—do Masonic ties elevate the Founding Fathers' legacy, or raise questions about hidden agendas?

In Episode 405 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to Weare, New Hampshire, to witness the Pine Tree Riot of 1772.

From a horrible caffeine delivery system, Jim Folger takes a huge interest in making coffee better and we thank him for it. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [Pin Point Payments Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, where Stephen Semple, who's the guy that you're going to hear next, and myself, David Young. We talk about empires and how they're built and what makes them tick. And if you're listening to us in the morning, it's totally appropriate for the topic that Steven just whispered in my ear, which is Folgers, and immediately popped into my head was the old jingle. The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. Stephen Semple: And Folgers is what a dominant, dominant, dominant force in the coffee space. In the home ground space the data that I was able to find as they do close to 900 million in sales are basically 27% of the market. Dave Young: My guess is that they in the past have been more than that, but the crafty roasting kind of people have probably been nibbling away at that over the years, but I'll be back in the '70s or '80. Stephen Semple: I didn't go back. Dave Young: They were just a juggernaut. Stephen Semple: And I didn't go back and take a look at that. But look, when you're number one, you're number one, right? That's a big deal. Dave Young: When you and I were kids, nobody was grinding their own beans. You bought a big can of coffee and put it in a percolator. That's what coffee was. Stephen Semple: But the interesting part, we will talk a little bit about that campaign. The best part of Waking Up. That campaign came out in 1984, and prior to that, Maxwell House was actually number one. That campaign allowed them to surpass Maxwell House and become the leader in the space. So it was a very, very successful campaign. Dave Young: It's one of those jingles. I don't know if it's out yet, but I did a copy or a copy, an episode of Sticky Sales, sales stories with Matthew Burns, and we talk about Winston and the power of the Winston Jingle can get in people's heads. And if you were a kid before 1971, you still remember that jingle? Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: And so Folgers, and gosh, you were inundated. You couldn't escape the Folgers jingle. Stephen Semple: And there's the power of the fact that it's a rhyme. The best part of Waking Up. Like rhymes, as we know, have got a rhythm and a power to them. We'll come back to the jingle later, but let's go back to the beginning. Dave Young: Let me put one more little plug-in for that episode with Matthew, because we talk about the scientific reason that audio is so sticky in your head. So it has to do with the brain and humans' unique ability to process sound. And that's the fun part. It's more than just a story of, oh, this is how we sold cigarettes. So anyway, check that out. Stephen Semple: That's awesome. That's awesome. So as we all know- Dave Young: But wait till the end of the podcast. Stephen Semple: So as we all know, the Boston Tea Party was a thing in the United States, and in fact, it actually led to the growth of coffee being something that people started drinking in the United States. It ended up becoming a statement and a revolutionary idea. And coffee houses started to pop up both in the United States and around the world. Dave Young: But it was [inaudible 00:04:58] that tea and the tax on it. Stephen Semple: Yeah, that started getting things going but-

Greg Jenner is joined in the eighteenth century by Professor Frank Cogliano and comedian and actor Patton Oswalt for a special Fourth of July episode all about the American War of Independence. Also known as the American Revolutionary War, 2025 marks 250 years since the start of the conflict in 1775, when the first battles between the British army and the colonial resistance were fought at Lexington and Concord. But what caused Britain's North American colonies to rebel against the king and government in London? At what point did they start to see themselves as American and not British? And how did a colonial militia take on an imperial superpower? This episode charts the growing rift between Britain and its American colonists, taking in famous events like the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party and the calling of the first Continental Congress, all the way through to the Declaration of Independence and the course of the revolutionary war itself. We learn how America fought to free itself from the shackles of British rule, and meet some well-known names from history, including Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and George Washington. And we also ask whose freedom was being fought for, and who – such as Black and Indigenous Americans – got left behind. If you're a fan of fearless freedom fighters, political wrangling and stunning military victories, you'll love our episode on the American War of Independence.If you want more American political history, listen to our episode on Becoming America, or episodes on abolitionists Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth. And for more independence movements, check out our episode on Simón Bolívar.You're Dead To Me is the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Every episode, Greg Jenner brings together the best names in history and comedy to learn and laugh about the past.Hosted by: Greg Jenner Research by: Charlotte Emily Edgeshaw Written by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow, Emma Nagouse, and Greg Jenner Produced by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow and Greg Jenner Audio Producer: Steve Hankey Production Coordinator: Ben Hollands Senior Producer: Emma Nagouse Executive Editor: Philip Sellars

On the night of December 25, 1776, General George Washington led a daring and risky crossing of the icy Delaware River during the American Revolution. Facing defeat and low morale, Washington's surprise attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey, became a turning point in the war. With harsh winter weather, dangerous river conditions, and exhausted troops, the crossing was a bold gamble—and it worked. This episode explores the strategy, conditions, and impact of the crossing, and how Washington's leadership helped revive the revolutionary cause at a crucial moment.

Happy Independence Day, Stackers! While fireworks boom and flags wave, we're lighting a spark under your financial life.

This week is the 4th of July, which means we're celebrating American independence. But what exactly is it that we're celebrating? What's so special about American democracy, and how does it work? And with everything going on in politics, should we be celebrating at all?In a word: yes. America was founded on the principles of liberty, justice, and freedom from the tyranny of kings. And those ideals are as revolutionary today as they were in 1776.This week's episode of Okay, But Why takes a step back into history and examines the founding of our nation, from indigenous cultures to European colonies to the Declaration of Independence. The documents drawn up by the Founding Fathers created the rules for the democracy we have today. They shouldn't be partisan; they're as American as… well, the 4th of July!We cover some things you may have already heard about — like the Boston Tea Party — alongside some lesser-known things like the fact that the first man killed in the Revolutionary War was a Black man, Crispus Attucks. Did you know that Georgia sat out the first Continental Congress? Or that Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution?What we celebrate on Independence Day is about more than a document. It's about a change in mindset – that people deserve the right to determine their own future, rather than one powerful man sitting on a throne. Simply being elected to office doesn't give a president the right to violate the Constitution.Look, is a document from 250 years ago perfect? Of course not. White land-owning men were the only ones who got to have those “unalienable rights,” for starters. That's why Congress has updated it with amendments in the years since, starting with the 1st Amendment granting us the freedom of speech in 1791. But as the foundation of our democracy, the Constitution is a powerful thing. That's why people called June 14th “No Kings Day” and it's why we're celebrating the 4th of July.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

The Boston Tea Party was an opening act in what came to be a violent culture war and war of national liberation. And it helps us understand how America in 2020 could become as bitterly divided as America during the revolution. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/american-revolution-was-culture-war

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy and Massachusetts civics teacher Kelley Brown interview Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jack Rakove, Coe Professor Emeritus at Stanford University. Prof. Rakove explores the origins of the American Revolution and U.S. Constitution through the lives of the nation's Founding Era figures. Reflecting on young John Adams' vivid depiction of his schoolhouse in colonial Massachusetts, Rakove offers context for the political and social landscape of the 18th-century America. He discusses the central constitutional dispute between the British Parliament and the American colonies over political authority, which escalated after the Stamp Act crisis and the Boston Tea Party. Prof. Rakove traces the emergence of the Continental Congress as a revolutionary governing body and its role in declaring independence. He also shares the moral contradictions of liberty in a society dependent on slavery and explains how internal debates over slavery shaped politics within the Continental Congress. Additionally, Prof. Rakove highlights the contributions of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison in building a durable federal constitutional system and explains Madison's critical role in drafting the Bill of Rights. He closes with a reading from Revolutionaries: A New History of the Invention of America.

 In the lead-up to Independence Day on Friday, each day this week, KYMN's Logan Wells discusses the causes and the events leading up to the American Revolution. In part 2 of the series, they pick up on where they left off in Boston, and the growing protests are leading to the Boston Tea Party, followed by the early conflicts in the revolution, and the forming of the Continental Congress. 

The Boston Tea party is an iconic even that still lives on in American culture and politics.  However, how much do you know about the event itself and what led up to it.  Who planned it? Was it planned at all?  Take a listen this week and find out all about America's favorite protest.

Protesting is part of the First Amendment rights we have as Americans. They can be positive, such as the Boston Tea Party, the Civil Rights Movement or the March for Life. Or, they can be negative such as Pride parades and the BLM riots of 2020.
How should Christians think through protests? Using No Kings as an example, Kenna and Jenna discuss God's justice, the command to be self-controlled and investigating the purpose of a protest before joining in.… Continue Reading

I love American history, and finding tidbits of unknown or misunderstood/inaccurate ideas are some of my favorite ones to discover.  Put it all in a boo about spies during the War for Independence? SOLD!  Listen in to see what you'll find in Megan Soja's Secrets of the Revolution. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. In this episode we had a great conversation about what other realities of life were like during the colonial era and what really happened during the Boston Tea Party.   Secrets of the Revolution by Megan Soja The cause of liberty brought them together. Will it also tear them apart? Hannah Pierce is determined to keep her father‘s apothecary shop running, despite his failing health, the heavy burden of her mother's recent death, and the mysterious disappearance of her brother. She'll do whatever it takes to preserve her family's legacy, including joining a dangerous ring of patriot spies...and falling for a revolutionary printer with a brave heart. William Abbott always keeps his promises. He vowed long ago to never abandon those in need like his father did. So when new British acts of Parliament threaten Boston and endanger his family, he throws himself into serving the Patriot cause, using his position at the printing office to gather and spread intelligence. But when his clandestine role in the newly formed spy ring causes him to cross paths with the apothecary's beautiful daughter, he may find himself fighting for more than the cause. As tensions in Boston reach a breaking point, Will and Hannah find their bond deepening even as the noose tightens around the spy ring. When promises and determination are not enough to protect the ones they love, they'll need to trust God if they are to survive what is to come.
