At the start of every decade the Census redraws America's lines of representation. But in 2025, at President Trump's urging, several states — including Missouri — moved to redraw their congressional maps mid-decade. The result is a high-drama scramble that could reshape who controls the U.S. House. We feature the latest episode of STLPR's podcast "Meet Me" — a conversation between host Luis Antonio Perez and politics correspondent Jason Rosenbaum. They break down the "what, how and why" of Missouri's new 2025 map and how the movie “Air Bud” explains part of this saga. With August primaries already underway, we trace where things stand and what's still left to play out.

Ryan Wiggins of Wiggins America is in studio and he's bringing receipts. Democrats have quietly lost more than 275,000 registered voters in the 28 key swing districts Republicans have been tracking since 2020 — and the total Republican advantage in those same districts has swung by a staggering 737,000 voters. The left's answer? Scrap the Electoral College and call it racist. Wiggins dismantles that argument cold — the real reason Democrats want to torch the Electoral College is simple: blue states are shrinking, red states are growing, and the math is turning against them fast. Then Marc and Ryan expose one of the most underreported stories in American politics — the 2020 census was miscounted in a way that handed Democrats four to six House seats they never legitimately won, and nobody was in a position to fight back until now. Plus three more non-citizens just confessed to knowingly voting in federal elections — and Marc suspects that's just the tip of the iceberg. This is the Marc Cox Morning Show firing on all cylinders straight to the finish line.

WORT 89.9FM Madison · The Data on Remote Work: Productive but Lonely Emma Harrington(Photo courtesy University of Virginia) The global COVID-19 pandemic wrought a variety of social and economic changes.  Some, like social distancing, were temporary.  Other changes remained in place long after the most acute crisis subsided.  According to U.S. Census data, prior to the pandemic, people who worked from home accounted for about 3% of the working population.  After peaking at 20% during the height of the omicron COVID outbreak, that percentage has stabilized at about 17% of employees – some 27 million people work partially or entirely from home.  The issue has become a point of contention in labor relations, with many managers seeking to institute “back-to-the-office” policies, with resistance from labor organizations and individual employees.  Much has been made of the productivity of at-home workers, but less attention has been paid to the isolation of workers working from home.  Emma Harrington is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Virginia.  Her new book “In Person: How Working Together Fuels Creativity, Productivity, and Growth” will come out in October from Crown Currency Press.  Emma Harrington joined the Monday Buzz– remotely – by phone, on June 22, 2026.

Canada's housing market continues to defy the narrative of a nationwide downturn. While British Columbia and Ontario have experienced meaningful price declines since the market peak in 2022, the rest of the country has largely moved in the opposite direction. Home prices have risen across every other province, with New Brunswick leading the way at more than 40% growth. The data serves as a reminder that there is no singular Canadian housing market—only a collection of regional markets moving at very different speeds.Recent national housing data paints a picture of cautious stabilization. Sales activity has improved from the sluggish pace seen earlier in the year, inventory levels have returned closer to long-term averages, and average sale prices have posted modest gains. Yet beneath the surface, transaction volumes remain well below the extraordinary levels recorded during the pandemic-era boom. Prices may be holding in many regions, but activity remains subdued, suggesting buyers and sellers are still adjusting to a higher-rate environment.At the same time, Canada's homeownership rate continues to trend lower, particularly among younger generations. Census data shows substantial declines in ownership among Canadians in their late twenties and early thirties, raising important questions about the country's long-term housing trajectory. While affordability is often cited as the primary culprit, the composition of new housing supply may be playing an equally important role. Detached homes and family-oriented ownership products are becoming increasingly scarce, while condominium construction continues to dominate many urban markets. The result is a housing system that increasingly encourages renting over ownership.The implications extend far beyond housing itself. Homeowners in Canada are significantly wealthier than renters on average, and the gap widens over time. As ownership rates decline, concerns surrounding wealth inequality, social mobility, and economic opportunity continue to grow. If the majority of future housing stock is designed primarily for rental occupancy, Canada may find itself facing broader economic and demographic challenges in the years ahead.Meanwhile, Vancouver is preparing for one of the most significant zoning shifts in recent memory. The City's proposed Village Plan would effectively pre-zone approximately 13,000 properties across 17 neighbourhood hubs, allowing buildings up to six storeys without the lengthy rezoning process that has historically slowed development. Supporters view the initiative as a meaningful step toward increasing housing supply and creating more walkable communities. Critics question whether neighbourhood infrastructure, parking, and community character can absorb such rapid change.Yet the largest question may not be whether these projects can be approved, but whether they can be built. A closer examination of development economics reveals that many proposed projects operate on remarkably thin margins. Rising land costs, elevated construction expenses, financing challenges, and softening demand have left little room for error. Even under optimistic assumptions, many developments appear only marginally viable.That reality was underscored by an unprecedented decision from the Urban Development Institute, which cancelled its 2026 Awards of Excellence. The organization cited worsening development conditions and a growing cost-of-delivery crisis that is making new housing increasingly difficult to build throughout British Columbia. The cancellation serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of the pressures facing an industry that is simultaneously being asked to deliver more housing while confronting some of the most challenging economics in decades.Construction activity reflects a similar tension. Housing starts remain historically elevated thanks to a surge in purpose-built rental construction, but recent data suggests momentum may be slowing. British Columbia posted a significant decline in starts, while performance varied considerably between municipalities. The risk is that today's projects represent the final wave of developments approved under more favourable conditions, with future supply potentially constrained by worsening project economics.Beyond housing, global events are beginning to influence the outlook for inflation and interest rates. As tensions in the Middle East appear to ease, oil prices have retreated sharply, helping lower inflation expectations and bond yields. For borrowers, this represents a welcome development, as lower bond yields typically support lower fixed mortgage rates. However, central banks remain cautious. Stronger economic data in the United States and a resilient labour market have increased expectations that interest rates could remain elevated longer than previously anticipated.At the household level, financial stress continues to build. Consumer insolvencies are rising across Canada, with particularly sharp increases in British Columbia and Ontario. Bankruptcy filings have accelerated as declining home prices reduce homeowners' ability to refinance debt or access home equity. Yet paradoxically, Canadian household net worth continues to reach record highs. The result is a growing disconnect between balance-sheet wealth and day-to-day affordability.That contradiction may ultimately define the current economic cycle. On paper, Canadians remain extraordinarily wealthy. In practice, many households are feeling increasing financial pressure from higher borrowing costs, elevated living expenses, and slower economic growth. The gap between what the data says and what Canadians experience in everyday life continues to widen, creating one of the most important economic stories facing the country today._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Detroit's comeback is not being measured only in restored facades or reopened landmarks. It is being measured in whether the city can turn once-abandoned spaces into places where people work, learn, gather, move, and build long-term opportunity. Few projects capture that shift more clearly than Michigan Central, the former train station that stood for decades as a symbol of Detroit's decline and now anchors a growing innovation district tied to commercial development, youth programming, hospitality, and future transit connectivity. Its revival comes at a pivotal moment: after decades of population loss, Detroit recently recorded its first Census-recognized population increase since 1957, giving new urgency to the question of how the city's next chapter will be built.What does it take to transform a building once seen as a symbol of decline into a platform for Detroit's next chapter of work, learning, mobility, and community growth?On this episode of DisruptED, host Ron J. Stefanski sits down with Beth Kmetz-Armitage, Director of Commercial Development at Michigan Central, to discuss how the historic campus is helping reshape Detroit's future. Their conversation explores the redevelopment of Michigan Central Station, the broader commercial development strategy behind Detroit's comeback, the role of public-private collaboration, and how transit, housing, youth programming, and neighborhood investment all connect inside a larger vision for the city.Key highlights from the conversation…Michigan Central is evolving from a restored landmark into a full innovation district, with Ford offices, retail and hospitality development, a forthcoming NoMad Hotel under the Hilton banner, and youth-focused programming through the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan.Beth explains how Detroit's land inventory, once seen as a burden, became a strategic asset for housing, commercial development, and neighborhood revitalization, helping the city attract developers and rebuild density.The episode highlights Detroit's next major challenge: becoming a destination city again through stronger connectivity, including multimodal transit plans at Michigan Central, Amtrak service, intercity buses, regional SMART service, and links to Ann Arbor.Beth Kmetz-Armitage is the Director of Commercial Development at Michigan Central, where she develops the organization's real estate portfolio to support mobility innovation and economic development in Detroit. She previously held senior real estate and public-private partnership roles with the City of Detroit, leading strategy for surplus commercial and industrial properties and connecting developers with public financing, entitlements, and publicly owned land for mixed-use and mixed-income housing projects. Her broader commercial real estate career spans asset management, property management, leasing, construction, contract negotiation, historic renovation, and portfolio oversight across major organizations including Broder & Sachse, Hines, and Equity Office Properties Trust.

City leaders are on the front lines of data use, but most lack visibility into the federal data landscape, what's available, what's changing, and how federal policy decisions affect local outcomes. This gap delays emergency response, misdirects resources away from high-need neighborhoods, and undermines AI systems that depend on accurate data and community trust. Host Stephen Goldsmith speaks with Denice Ross,  Director of Federal Data Policy at the Federation of American Scientists, about the relationship between local and federal data, what city CDOs should prioritize, and why cities have untapped power to shape federal data policy. In this episode, you'll learn: The often-hidden relationship between local data needs and federal data infrastructure How to identify and access the federal data your city should be using Why now is the time to prepare for Census 2030 and protect funding How community participation in data decisions prevents disparities and builds legitimacy for AI systems How local data leaders can advocate effectively during federal policy windows Guest: Denice Ross –  Director of Federal Data Policy at the Federation of American Scientists; former United States Chief Data Scientist Listener Survey: bit.ly/datasmartpod Music credit: Summer-Man by Ketsa About Data-Smart City Solutions Data-Smart City Solutions, housed at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University, is working to catalyze the adoption of data projects on the local government level by serving as a central resource for cities interested in this emerging field.

Newt talks with Elle Minarik, from the Paragon Health Institute, about their new report, “The Persistent Obamacare Enrollment Fraud” which details the widespread fraud and improper enrollment in Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchange plans, driven by enhanced federal subsidies, weak verification systems, and misaligned incentives for insurers and intermediaries. Paragon Health Institute’s analysis compares Census data on people with incomes between 100–150% of the federal poverty level to the number of highly subsidized enrollees, estimating that 6.2 million people are enrolled in heavily subsidized plans despite not having incomes in that range. They project about $25 billion per year in improper Obamacare enrollment by 2026, with at least $75 billion over the last three years, and note that in one year alone $40 billion in federal payments went to insurers for “zero-claim” enrollees who never used their coverage. Improper enrollment is highly concentrated in non–Medicaid expansion states, especially Florida and Texas, which together account for 63% of projected improper enrollees in 2026; five states including Florida, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina account for 78%.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Tuesday, June 9th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Vietnamese Communists have imprisoned 57 Christians Religious freedom is tenuous in Vietnam.  That's the subject of a new report by International Christian Concern.   At last count, Vietnam has 57 unreleased religious prisoners, five of whom were subjected to government-initiated torture. Pastors and evangelists are imprisoned for what is called “undermining national unity policy” or “abusing democratic freedoms”, whatever that is.   And Christmas is a dangerous time for Vietnamese Christians. That's when arrests accelerate in the Central Highlands, especially for believers who are caught worshiping in churches unsponsored by the communist government. State Dept. weighs in on the murder of a Brit by a Sikh Tensions between the United States and the United Kingdom have increased over the killing of a Brit named Henry Nowak. Last December, he was killed by a Sikh, a son of an Indian immigrant. The murderer had falsely accused Nowak of a hate crime.  Sadly, the police chose to believe the murderer instead of the victim in the crime.   In response, the U.S. State Department issued a statement pointing out “ideological conditioning and two-tiered policing” as “glaring symptoms of civilizational decline” in the United Kingdom.   Vice President J.D. Vance also stated on social media that “Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit.” Countries where the most Evangelicals live The most Evangelicals in the world live in -- you may have never guessed it -- China.    The Joshua Project puts China at the top with 106 million Evangelicals. The United States comes in second with 92 million Evangelicals. Then, comes Nigeria with 64 million, and Brazil with 53 million.   The other nations with the largest Evangelical populations include Ethiopia, Kenya, Mexico, and Uganda. Among the unreached nations of the world with the lowest Christian populations are these European countries: Austria, Finland, Greece, Greenland, Norway, and Sweden. Brazil's surge of Evangelicals and loss of Catholics Brazil has seen a surge of Evangelicals — now at 27%, up from 21.6% in 2010.  Brazil's atheist population grew from 8% to 9.3%. The nation's Roman Catholic population took the hit, losing about 8% since 2010. Catholics now represent only 56.7% of Brazilians. Catholicism made up 99% of the population back in 1890, according to the recently released Census of Traditional Peoples and Communities. New poll: America is viewed negatively America is viewed as increasingly unpopular worldwide while China is receiving higher marks for popular approval. Gallup's recent international poll found America at a 31% level vs. China's 36%.  That's the highest gap in history. America's net approval ratings have always dropped to the lowest levels in the history of the survey -- now at negative 15%. Trump's endorsed candidate for Iowa governor loses 8/10 of a point Iowa conservative Zach Lahn won the nomination for governor in a crowded Iowa GOP primary last week.  Lahn won his primary with just 38% of the vote — a close victory over Trump-endorsed Congressman Randy Feenstra, who earned 37.2% of the vote. Listen to the opening of Lahn's victory speech. LAHN: “I don't have to tell you this, but nobody thought this could be done. We were outspent, opposed by the establishment, told to wait our turn. Well, tonight the people of Iowa had something to say about that. We're not going to wait anymore!” (cheers) Lahn is a sixth generation Iowan who has spoken out against chemical manufacturers and Chinese land ownership here in the United States. Texas Rangers doesn't endorse homosexual pride month The LGBTQ and so-called “Pride Month” fervor has slowed greatly under the Trump administration, but not completely. Sports teams across the nation continue to celebrate Homosexual Pride Month. To their credit, the Texas Rangers are the only team in Major League Baseball to abstain from celebrating perverted lifestyles.  Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen opposes homosexual pride But some are still standing against homosexuality on a personal level.  Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen was the only player on his team who did not appear on the field in a homosexual “Pride” hat last Friday, standing by his convictions. The Los Angeles Dodgers organization has been known to openly support homosexuality, transgenderism, and drag.  Influencer Jon Root praises Treinen's actions. He wrote, “While other professed Christians, Dodgers [shortstop] Mookie Betts and manager Dave Roberts wore [homosexual transgender] “pride” hats, only Blake Treinen, [the pitcher], refused. Don't bow down to the idols of our age, Christians. Stand firm like Treinen.” Ephesians 6:13 says, “Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”  Send a two-sentence thank you note to Blake Treinen for standing against the homosexual agenda. The address is Los Angeles Dodgers, 1000 Vin Scully Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Trump's $1.7 billion “anti-weaponization” fund shot down President Donald Trump's controversial $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund has been shot down by the courts and those within his own party. Several Republican senators objected to the newly created fund, which would have had taxpayers foot the bill and paid out victims of political persecution while also shielding the Trump family from federal tax review.  June 9th anniversary of Scottish missionary Columba And finally, on this date, June 9th, A.D. 597, the great Irish Christian missionary, Columba, went to be with the Lord. Columba, also known as Columcille, planted churches all over Scotland and established the famed missionary school on the isle of Iona in A.D. 563, a training ground for missionaries over the next several centuries.  Born around the year A.D. 521, Columba was in line to become a High King of Ireland, but chose to serve the Lord in foreign lands instead. Isaiah 52:7 states, “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 9th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Jimmy Rex didn't reach the top 1% of realtors by accident. In this conversation, he breaks down the strategies and mindset that powered him to an extraordinary 495 home sales in a single year. From building genuine relationships to staying disciplined when the market shifts, Jimmy shares the practical approaches that separate elite agents from everyone else and explains why so many realtors lose sight of what actually drives results. We also dig into the things agents tend to forget about the business: the daily habits, the client-first thinking, and the priorities that matter most when you're trying to scale. Whether you're just starting out or looking to break through a plateau, Jimmy's insights offer a clear look at what it really takes to perform at the highest level in real estate.

Recently, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor said a Coalition government would limit access to welfare benefits for permanent residents. Speaking to multicultural media last week, he addressed a range of issues including migration and housing. Linking welfare access to citizenship status, he further noted that under a Coalition government, health benefits would remain available to all residents. Census data shows that more than 3 million permanent migrants settled in Australia between 2001 and 2021, with 59 per cent having become citizens by 2021.

LPT Realty is growing fast with a clean no monthly fee pitch but before you make a brokerage decision based on whoever recruited you last this video puts both models side by side so the numbers and facts can do the talking. This video compares commission structure, technology, training, income sharing, and equity so you can see exactly what each brokerage offers and what it means for your income beyond your next closing. For Canadian agents the comparison reveals key differences including EXP's icon award program, a co-sponsorship program LPT does not offer, and health benefits that LPT has no equivalent for. On technology EXP agents get four CRM options plus CESU a real time analytics platform worth $1,200 a month included in your tech fees along with specialized divisions for luxury, commercial, and new homes that LPT has not built out yet. EXP operates across 29 countries with 83,000 agents and closed 440,000 transactions in 2025 compared to LPT's 21,000 agents in the US and Canada only. If you are evaluating your brokerage options in 2026 this is the most honest side by side comparison available before you make one of the most important business decisions of your career.

The history of disability rights is often treated as a modern story, but what if that framing misses centuries of earlier, more complicated history? This week, Thomas is joined by Professor Sari Altschuler, Associate Professor of English at Northeastern University, to explore her new book Before Disability: A History of American Citizenship. In the book, Professor Altschuler traces how disability and citizenship have been intertwined since the founding of the United States, and what that reveals about who America decided belonged and who didn't. In the early Republic, many physical and mental differences were accommodated within the framework of citizenship; by the antebellum era, however, those same differences had been weaponized as tools of racial exclusion, and eventually as justification for eugenics. Thomas and Professor Altschuler dig into the intersections of race, disability, and civic belonging, and what early American history can teach us about the fights happening today.

When you sit down to write about an ancestor, you may have plenty of records in front of you, but still feel unsure how to turn them into something people will want to read. Census records, deeds, wills, military files, church registers, photographs, letters, and family notes can give you the facts, but a narrative has to do something more. It has to guide the reader through a life. A good family history narrative helps the reader understand where a person lived, who surrounded them, what choices they faced, and how the events of their time shaped the course of their life. It doesn't turn genealogy into fiction. It takes documented research and arranges it into a clear, readable account. That kind of writing is valuable because many relatives will never study a chart, open a probate packet, or compare tax lists on their own. They may not know why a marriage bond, land deed, pension file, or cemetery record is important. Your job as the writer is to help them see what the records reveal. The best family history narratives are accurate, organized, and human. They respect the evidence, but they also help the reader care about the people behind it...

Most real estate agents have a story about a tough stretch in their business but very few have a story quite like this one. This Power Half Hour episode features an EXP Realty agent who went from full time real estate to a demanding overnight airline job to support his family, watched his business fall off a cliff, received an eviction notice after months of no income, and then made the decision to give real estate one final shot before hanging up his license for good. Beyond the business story this conversation goes deep into the personal side of being a realtor including raising a son with complex needs, overcoming anxiety and depression without medication, and finding accountability and community through a team that genuinely cares. He shares exactly how he generates leads, why face to face connection is his superpower, how he negotiated a deal 48,000 below what the previous buyer paid, and what he would tell any agent who is struggling right now.

John Gibney is co-editor of The Story of Us: Independent Ireland and the 1926 Census. On a sunny day, we sat on a bench dedicated in part to a man you'll find in that census, and discussed what is in this extraordinary landmark census. We look at some interesting people, like the writer Dorothy Macardle, the widowed Maud Gonne MacBride and an influential Italian on Pearse Street. An earlier episode made some predictions, but here we are looking at the real thing. The Story of Us is available now in all good bookshops. Support TCB: www.patreon.com/threecastlesburning  

Skeptics are forever trying to find errors in the Bible so that they can discredit it as God's Word. When a faithful Bible scholar discovers some puzzle in Scripture, he never assumes that he has found an error. He assumes that he doesn't have all the information necessary to resolve the question.As believers would expect, every so-called puzzle that has been resolved has been resolved in favor of the accuracy of the Bible. In each of these cases, those who said that they had discovered an error in the Bible were proven wrong.One of the more interesting puzzles that was finally solved concerned Luke's account of Christ's birth. Was Quirinius really governor of Syria when Christ was born in 4 B.C.? Scholars knew that he was governor in 6 A.D. But there was no evidence that he had governed Syria in 4 B.C. Some 19th-century scholars wrote that Luke must have made a mistake with the date of the census, since Quirinius wasn't governor when Christ was born. Then, in 1912, an inscription was discovered that was dated to around 10 B.C. It said that Quirinius was governor in Syria and Cilicia around that time. In other words, Quirinius ruled the area as governor at least twice, including when Christ was born.As God's Word, Scripture's accuracy can be trusted. Nothing has ever disproved the truth of anything in the Bible. The Bible can be trusted even when it talks about historical events. That's true even when the Bible talks about the history of the creation of the world.Luke 2:1-2"And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)”Prayer: I thank You, Lord, that Your Word has been preserved for us in the Bible. I thank You that Your Word is completely trustworthy. I thank You that Your certain Word assures me that You fully carried the burden of my sin on the cross so that I could be forgiven. Amen.REF.: Jackson, Wayne. "Calm confidence in the Scriptures." Reasoning from Revelation.

Let us know what you think!#genealogy #familysearch #census #bountylandEpisode OverviewHittin' the Bricks with Kathleen is the genealogy podcast that features your questions and her answers, helping researchers uncover overlooked records and stronger research strategies. In this episode, host Kathleen Brandt answers listener questions focused on three high-impact genealogy sources that can quickly break through stubborn brick walls: Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) records, Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land grants, and Ireland's newly free 1926 census.Kathleen explains where to search, what clues researchers often miss, and how to connect these records to broader family stories involving migration, military service, inheritance, and identity.In This Episode, You'll Learn Why CCC records are valuable for Depression-era genealogy research  How Revolutionary War bounty land files extend far beyond the first certificate  What makes the 1926 Irish Census important for Irish family history  How supporting records reveal widows, heirs, migration patterns, and community ties  Why original files often contain clues omitted from abstracts and indexes Topics Covered Civilian Conservation Corps records and Depression-era family research  CCC applications and clues about parents, schooling, work history, and migration  Researching CCC records through newspapers, local societies, state archives, and National Park Service collections  Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land digitization  Common mistakes in bounty land research  Warrants, surveys, plat maps, patents, tax lists, deeds, probate, and wills  Why abstract books are not enough for complete genealogy research  Ireland's free 1926 Census and Irish genealogy research  Linking Irish census records to passenger lists, naturalization records, and church documents Episode Discussion & Key MomentsKathleen walks listeners through three record groups that frequently contain overlooked genealogical evidence. The episode begins with CCC records, explaining how applications and related files reveal personal details about family structure, education, employment, and migration during the Great Depression.The conversation then shifts to Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land grants, where Kathleen explains why researchers should never stop at the initial certificate. Supporting documents—including surveys, deeds, probate files, and tax lists—often identify widows, heirs, neighbors, and land relationships that deepen family reconstruction.Finally, Kathleen explores the release of Ireland's 1926 Census, discussing how researchers can connect census findings with U.S. immigration records, naturalization paperwork, and church records to build more complete Irish family histories.Key questions examined include: What records are researchers most likely to overlook?  Why do original files matter more than abstracts?  How can one record group lead to multiple generations of evidence? Resources & Research Tools MentionedNational Archives of Ireland 1926 Census Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) applications and records  Newspapers and local historical societies  State archives and National Park Service collections  Virginia Revolutionary War bounty land records  Plat maps, tax lists, deeds, probate, and wills  Ireland's 1926 Census  Passenger lists, naturalization records, and church registers Why This Episode MattersMany genealogy breakthroughs come from looking beyond indexes and pulling the full record set surrounding an ancestor.

A leading researcher says New Zealand's official data systems fail to track the realities of co-parenting and shared care arrangements. Often unseen because they are not counted in the Census, these shared care arrangements are happening in one-in-five households, according to Motu Research's senior fellow Kate Prickett. Parents getting less informal support from the other parent for things like clothing, food and transport among others had higher rates of anxiety and depression. Kate Prickett says the research shows families with shared care exist in a middle ground between the sole parents, and the two parent home. And policy frameworks are often not flexible to their complexity. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

The man who built Starbucks into a global brand is sounding the alarm about Seattle — and Mayor Bruce Wilson's far-left policies are front and center. Howard Schultz's public warning isn't just symbolic: it signals that even the most Seattle-loyal institutions have hit their breaking point with a city government that treats businesses as adversaries rather than assets.Wilson's administration has piled on regulations, hostile permitting, and a tax-and-spend posture that's made Seattle one of the most difficult operating environments in the country. When the founder of your flagship corporate citizen goes on record warning of a mass exodus, that's not a PR problem — that's a governance failure playing out in real time.The Starbucks warning joins a long line of business departures, office vacancies, and quiet relocations that the mayor's office continues to dismiss.

With the 2030 Census fast approaching, battles over redistricting and congressional apportionment continue to take shape. As population shifts continue, driven by migration from blue states to red states and the influx of illegal immigrants into sanctuary cities, both parties are looking to secure a larger share of political representation in the decade ahead. At the center of the debate is the Democratic Party's reliance on a strict, constructivist reading of Article I's “Free Persons Clause” to justify counting illegal immigrants in reapportionment and redistricting. Critics argue that the lack of legal basis hinder our ability to police the practice and contend that the voting power of American citizens are effectively diluted. Howard proposes an alternative approach: a citizenship initiative focused on those here legally and eligible to naturalize, rather than creating what he describes as modern-day “rotten boroughs”, districts with inflated populations but disproportionate influence in federal elections. Would the Democratic Party support such an effort? Or will they continue to double down on their outrageously unpopular embrace of high illegal immigration?Howard Husock is a senior fellow in Domestic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he focuses on municipal government, urban housing policy, civil society, and philanthropy. Before joining AEI, Mr. Husock was vice president for research and publications at the Manhattan Institute.

Is brick-and-mortar retail really dying? After months analyzing 13 years of U.S. Census retail data, this episode uncovers Kathy's new report available for download, "Brick and Mortar Independent Retail Isn't Dying. It's Misdiagnosed." that covers what's actually happening behind the headlines. The findings reveal a far more nuanced story about independent retail, business closures, growth cycles, and why the industry may be misdiagnosed rather than disappearing. If you own, work in, or care about indie retail, this conversation will challenge the narrative you've been told.

This week, the guys get together to discuss all sorts of things, from whether they believe people are doing their best to whether walking into a Walgreens and duping someone into selling Evan some illegal wine feels as scummy as it sounds... Will you get as much secondhand embarrassment as Josh does from Evan's cringey story? At least you didn't have to live through it as Evan did! In other news, listen in for some stories about the end of Westfield's Census woes, Mother's Day, and more. The guys have some good thoughts about how and why to see the best in people, and probably thoughts about other stuff too! There are also some Fact of the Week and stellar "sticking it to the man" tidbits, but they forgot to check what's coming up on the calendar!

Hour 2's “St. Louis Morning Brief” centers on a massive public backlash against proposed data center developments in Franklin County and the St. Louis region, where marathon public hearings stretched more than seven hours as hundreds of residents packed venues to oppose the projects. Marc and Kim break down the tension between local governments tempted by major tax revenue and residents concerned about strain on water systems, the power grid, and environmental impacts, with critics warning the projects could reshape communities without adequate safeguards. The conversation widens into broader economic and policy concerns, including warnings that AI and data centers could eliminate up to 50% of white-collar jobs and intensify long-term workforce disruption. The segment also highlights new Census data showing St. Louis has lost roughly 23,000 residents since 2020, raising alarm about declining population, shrinking tax bases, and whether the city could challenge federal counts to secure more funding. Additional stories include Rep. Ann Wagner calling for an FBI investigation into alleged USPS mail theft and check fraud tied to the St. Louis processing center, with reports of constituent complaints and missing or altered checks fueling concern about systemic failures. The brief closes with the sudden shutdown of the St. Louis Voices Academy of Media Arts charter school, leaving about 100 students displaced amid staffing and safety concerns, further underscoring instability across civic institutions in the region.

(Courtesy Adoonee) Across the United States, there are over 575 federally recognized American Indian tribes. According to the U.S. Census, Native North American language use fell by 6% from 2013 to 2021, but among those who spoke a Native language, nearly half spoke Navajo. KUNM's Jeanette DeDios (Jicarilla Apache and Diné) spoke to a Diné software developer who has created a mobile app to help preserve the Navajo language. Albert Haskie (Diné) spent two years building the app Diné Bizaad with a group of Navajo employees. “I’m making it for us, and that’s the primary goal.” Haskie says he learned the Navajo language at a young age but in sixth grade he transferred to a non-Navajo language school and that it was a cultural shock for him. “I kind of always missed it and always wanted to figure out how to reintroduce it into my life, but also try to reintroduce it to a lot of other people’s lives.” Haskie says users can build their own curriculum and it includes fun tools like the word of the day. He says the app differs from other language apps because this one has richer content and a practicing Navajo speaker who consulted on every word and phrase. Diné Bizaad was independently built without collaboration of the Navajo Nation. “I’ve showed them multiple times, but they just couldn’t find anything to work with me. I was more than happy to try to figure out working with them. But the reality is, it would have probably not launched within the time I wanted it to be.” A representative from the Department of Diné Education said Haskie talked with members within the department and that they are open to working with interested parties on preserving the Diné language. Haskie says he is in talks with other tribes to create language apps for their members. Whaling captain William ‘Wiyu’ Parks, right, and his wife Crystal on their way back from Punguk Island after a 3-month-long camping trip. (Courtesy Crystal Newhall) Whaling is an essential part of subsistence hunting in Siberian Yupik culture. High school student Tracy Tungiyan in the village of Gambell, Alaska on St. Lawrence Island wanted to understand more about it, so he interviewed a whaling captain from the community, William Parks, nicknamed Wiyu. He spoke to Parks in the library of the Gambell school and asked him whether whaling is easy or difficult. “There’s a degree of difficulty in it. You got to think of how enormous the whale is. You’re in basically a wash tub compared to the size of that whale. Depending on how the whale is moving, it could be pretty straightforward, catch up to it, strike. And there’s some days where the tails are really thrashing. You can’t get close to them. “We use these harpoons that have a barrel on there. We call them Puskaan [Siberian Yupik word]. I don’t know what they’re called in English. I’ve always known them as Puskaan. It has a harpoon, buoy, line buoy, and it fires either a black powder bomb or a penthrite bomb into the whale. Tungiyan asked Parks what hunting means to him and whether it was easier back then. “That’s a good question. To me, hunting is mostly about survival, it’s about tradition, and it’s about feeding family, relatives as a community, which is the most important part of life, in my opinion. You need food to survive. “I think mostly it’s like second nature to me. I don’t even think of how important this is to me anymore, more so that it’s the way I was brought up to live. It’s a part of me. It’s been a part of me since I was two, three years old. “Back then it was- seasons were more predictable. Weather was more predictable. In a way, it was easier. Nowadays, with lack of ice, bigger storms, shorter opportunities to head out. Yeah, I think it’s more difficult now compared to back then. The windows of good weather are getting shorter. “I know that everybody that goes hunting isn’t doing it for fun or sport. They’re doing it (as a) means of trying to harvest food. It's a part of who we are as people, as the community. Hunting is part of our nature. It’s been for thousands of years.” Tungiyan then asked him why catching a whale is so important for Gambell. “I think it’s important mostly because of the size of the catch. There’s enough to feed everybody. Just the sheer size of the whale. It’s an opportunity to feed the community, to have a community gather. Whaling has been part of our culture since the first whale swam and man saw it. It was a means of survival.” Tungiyan produced this story with former KNOM reporter Wali Rana and Alaska Public Media's Rachel Cassandra. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

We left off on a BIG BABY-MAKING note on Friday night and here we are for a new week, and whereas I want to make extra room for calls from the audience this evening, we are going to spend the first hour with KrisAnne Hall (KrisAnneHall.com) because I have a lot of technical questions about Districting, The Census, Congressional Representation, and The Constitution. Gerrymandering has been in the news a lot lately, but I'd like to go a little deeper than the news cycle will allow.
