What is it about architecture that celebrates longevity? The world's most famous architect, Frank Gehry, was actively at work until his death at age 96, finishing his Guggenheim Museum in Abu Dhabi and still designing the greatest works of his career. Masters Frank Lloyd Wright and Phillip Johnson also worked into their 90s and were even more prolific than Gehry. In this special series, Century Lives introduces Victoria Newhouse, a renowned architectural historian. At age 87, Victoria chats with her contemporaries: the late Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Moshe Safdie, Peter Eisenman, and Raj Rewal—all renowned architects and all in their 80s and 90s. In this episode, Victoria Newhouse talks with 93-year-old architect, theorist and professor Peter Eisenman, who holds a place in architectural history as one of the New York Five, and the founder of Deconstructivism. He's the recipient of the Gold Medal from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. And he has made a lifelong commitment to teaching, serving on the faculty of Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Cooper Union and Cambridge. He now teaches at Cornell University in Manhattan, where he plans to adapt his newest course on the genealogy of architecture as the subject of his 28th book.

In 1909, a 23-year-old immigrant named Clara Lemlich stood up in New York's Cooper Union and said, "I have no more patience for talk—I move that we go on a general strike." The next morning, 20,000 garment workers—mostly young immigrant women—walked off the job. Their courage changed labor history forever. Tune into our latest episode to hear how their fight reshaped workers' rights for generations. --- Music from today's episode is by: Tar Sahno and Semion Krivenko-Adamo Sources: Jewish Women's Archive, "Uprising of 20,000 (1909)."

For decades after graduating, these architects avoided Cooper Union. “We would detour three or four blocks or else the PTSD would kick in.” Apparently it used to be like The Paper Chase or Whiplash but with less compassion. Presented with The National Academy of Design. Music: Karl Schwarz.

Standing Together Vienna is a Jewish-Arab alliance for peace in the Middle East. The group is an initiative with members from different backgrounds that promotes dialogue and co-existence as a means of achieving a just peace in the Middle East.The panel will discuss how this can be achieved in Austria and Germany. The discussion will address some of the most pressing issues of the present moment: the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, and forms of protests inside Israel that often remain invisible in the international debate. The event highlights non-violence, justice, and democratic rights and underscores the importance of transnational solidarity and civic courage in times of crisis.Dani Gal, (* 1975, Jerusalem) lives and works in Berlin. He studied at Bezalel Academy for Art and Design in Jerusalem, Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste Stäadelschule in Frankfurt and in Cooper Union in New York.

The journey from discarded material to transcendent art forms the foundation of our conversation about Leonardo Drew, one of contemporary art's most physically committed and philosophically profound creators. Drew's remarkable journey began in the most unlikely of places—playing in a dump as a child in Tallahassee, Florida—a formative experience that would later inform his artistic sensibility and material relationship.What strikes you immediately about Drew is the joyful contradiction between his ebullient personality and the weighted gravity of his installations. His work appears weathered, aged, and discovered rather than created, yet as we learn, this is a carefully orchestrated illusion. "I don't work with found objects," Drew reveals. "Most of my material I actually create in the studio... I become the weather." This transformation process, where new materials are methodically distressed until they appear to carry centuries of history, speaks to Drew's profound understanding of time, memory, and physical transformation.Perhaps most compelling is Drew's pivotal turning point at age fifteen, when a black-and-white reproduction of a Jackson Pollock painting changed everything. Despite being courted by Marvel and DC Comics for his extraordinary illustrative talents, Drew abandoned this promising commercial path to pursue fine art—a decision requiring remarkable courage. "I decided it was time for me to stop using what I did well," he explains, essentially tying his hands to discover what existed beyond his comfort zone. This willingness to abandon mastery in pursuit of deeper questions characterizes his entire approach.Drew's extraordinary work ethic—rotating between seven projects simultaneously like "crying babies" needing attention—and his seven-year disappearance into the studio to develop his voice demonstrate a commitment few artists match. His perspective on creative struggle as "the most beautiful part of the journey" reminds us that art-making thrives on questions rather than answers. Experience Drew's transformative installations in person to understand why his work commands such reverence among artists and audiences alike.Sources:Leonardo Drew in "Investigation" - Season 7 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymMGgOCoK8k&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqR&index=5An Interview with Leonardo Drew | Wadsworth Antheneumhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-75fm_UzhYg&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqR&index=4Woodcuts: Leonardo Drew | useum of Arts and Design (MAD)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3S2nvDcvU&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqR&index=3Artist Talk: Leonardo Drew | Amon Carter Museum of American Art Fort Worthhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtsqaHfEYxc&list=PLfV5vsCYQApkupBnzNY3YxKpFJeNb7HqRCarrie Scott, SEEN Podcast | Leonardo Drewhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/1a54U1cidMrWratJewuyFy?si=27cd5abd710f4439Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed American painter, Lois Dodd. At 98-years-old, Dodd is famed for her paintings of her immediate surroundings, from landscapes to house roofs, windows and stairs. She paints the Night, day; outside, inside; doors that are painted, chipped; new, worn; and loved. While there is a seemingly absence of people, Dodd's paintings capture whole worlds and narratives – whether it be hose fires, or laundry hanging from a washing line. It's as though the colour, weather, light, frames, stairs, or cracks retain years worth of stories and memories, or are even characters in themselves. Steeped in American art and cultural history, referencing the likes of Hopper or Hitchcock, Dodd's works emphasise a voyeuristic, but also familiar nature. Born in 1927, Dodd was born and raised in New Jersey, mostly by her three older sisters after her parents' untimely death when she was young. It was then to Cooper Union in the 1940s, where she was amongst the burgeoning New York art scene, opening the artist-run space, the Tanager Gallery in 1952, at a similar time to iconic exhibitions such as the Ninth Street Show. Venturing to Maine, living by her artist friends Alex Katz and Jean Cohen, she took to painting views of the landscape, and by the end of the 1960s, this was now framed through a window: a perspective and device she has constantly reworked and reinvented, whether it be pressed up against her window on the Bowery, looking out onto her New York view, or of the cracked windows set in the lush, verdant countryside. Dodd allows her viewer to see something we thought we knew so well. She is an observer of nature – her works are about seeing the things that pass others by. As the critic Roberta Smith wrote in 2013: “Ms. Dodd loves the observed world. [...] She always searches out the underlying geometry but also the underlying life, and the sheer strangeness of it all.” I would also add that she is acute at highlighting the things that others iss - take her window portraits of New York City, a favorite being one fro November 2016, of her view that although is taken p by windows, places emphasis on a golden tree or blue sky, as if to latch on to the nature that grows even in the city, and the hope and beauty that exists even in the most unexpected places… Today we are recording in Dodd's home/studio in New Jersey… ahead of her major exhibition at Kunstmuseum Den Haag that opens this August in The Netherlands… Being here, I feel set in a Lois Dodd painting, brought to life by the motifs that surround me – and I can't wait to find out more. https://www.kunstmuseum.nl/en/exhibitions/lois-dodd https://www.alexandregallery.com/artists-work/lois-dodd#tab:slideshow;tab-1:thumbnails -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Mikaela Carmichael Technical support: Viva Ruggi Music by Ben Wetherfield

In February 2024, Gladstone AI produced a report for the Department of State, which opens by stating that "The recent explosion of progress in advanced artificial intelligence … is creating entirely new categories of weapons of mass destruction-like and weapons of mass destruction-enabling catastrophic risk." To clarify further, they define catastrophic risk as "catastrophic events up to and including events that would lead to human extinction." This strong yet controversial statement has caused much debate in the AI research community and in public discourse. One can imagine scenarios in which this may be true, perhaps in some national security-related scenarios, but how can we judge the merit of these types of statements? It is clear that to do so, it is essential to first truly understand the different risks AI adaptation poses and how those risks are novel. That is, when we talk about AI safety and security, do we truly have a clarity about the meaning of these terms? In this talk, we will examine the characteristics that make AI vulnerable to attacks and misuse in different ways and how they introduce novel risks. These risks may be to the system in which AI is employed, the environment around it, or even to society as a whole. Gaining a better understanding of AI characteristics and vulnerabilities will allow us to evaluate how realistic and pressing the different AI risks are, and better realize the current state of AI, its limitations, and what breakthroughs are still needed to advance its capabilities and safety.

The Art Career is honored to share a conversation with Alannah Farrell, recorded on November 8th, 2024, in their Chinatown apartment. Releasing this episode during Trans Awareness Week feels especially meaningful, but the importance of celebrating and uplifting trans voices extends to every day. Alannah's perspective is a powerful reminder of the beauty, resilience, and talent within the community. Thank you, Alannah, for sharing so much with us. Farrell is a queer, trans non-binary painter who lives and works in Chinatown on the LES, New York City. Conversations around portraiture often focus on identity, gaze, style, and expression. Their paintings touch on these but further delve into how the human psyche is affected by relationships, selfhood, place, architectural spaces, gender dysphoria, existing in a changing body, and memory. They grapple with a complex tenderness, light piercing through a brooding sadness. Farrell presents queer individuals through a lens of understanding and connection, a context shielded from a society eager to erase or enact violence. Their paintings depict more than a moment; rather, time itself unfurling before our eyes—shifting light, shifting weight, the emergence of the inner world. Furthermore, Farrell paints thoughtfully and attentively from life. They describe inviting sitters into the studio as an adrenaline rush—having to work with time as a restriction and the challenge of attempting to capture what is full of life and motion into a singular image. — BL Alannah Farrell (b. 1988, Kingston, NY) is a queer painter who lives and works in New York, NY. Farrell completed their BFA at The Cooper Union, New York, NY. They have presented their work in solo and group exhibitions at Anat Egbi, Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY; Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas, TX; Lyles and King, New York, NY; Alexander Gray Associates, New York, NY; Harper's, New York, NY; Richard Heller Gallery, Santa Monica, CA; The Painting Center, New York, NY; Theirry Goldberg Gallery, New York, NY; and UTA Artist Space, Los Angeles, CA.

About Kefalonia, Roman baths, and the search for the real Odysseus. The documentary Odysseus Returns premiered on PBS in August of 2024. The description of the film on the PBS website reads as follows: “An amateur historian, Makis Metaxas, claims he found the bones of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. But the discovery is soon embroiled in controversy, and Makis embarks on his own odyssey to convince the world he is right.”  Ismini Miliaresis appears in this documentary, not only as an expert in the field of classical archaeology but also as someone who has a fascinating personal connection to this story. Ismini received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. After working as an engineer for several years, she returned to school and completed an M.A. and Ph.D. in Classical Archaeology from the University of Virginia. She has published articles about the Stabian Baths of Pompeii and the Forum Baths of Ostia, and she has taught at such institutions as the American University of Rome, the University of Missouri, and the University of Virginia.   Recorded in November of 2024 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quintilian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is supported by a Bridge Initiative Grant from the Committee for the Promotion of Latin and Greek, a division of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Classical Association of the Middle West and South⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Remembering the great Audrey Flack (1931–2024). Earlier this year, I interviewed Flack over a series of interviews before she passed away on 28 June 2024. Audrey was a force, and I hope you enjoy listening to her powerful and moving words. If you want to learn more, I highly recommend her memoir: With Darkness Came Stars: A Memoir (https://www.psupress.org/books/titles/978-0-271-09674-2.html) -- I couldn't be more excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the esteemed American artist, sculptor, photo-realist painter, and native New Yorker, Audrey Flack. Hailed for her sculptures of divine goddesses and Biblical characters; her paintings evocative of Old Masters that explore the historic subjects but with pop imagery; and abstract canvases, made in the 1940s and 50s, filled with swathes of movement, colour, and vigour – Audrey Flack, has been at the forefront of the art world. Brought up in New York City, Flack studied at Cooper Union and then Yale, where she was one of the only women and was taught under Josef Albers – in the early 1950s Flack found herself amongst the burgeoning downtown art scene, where she frequented the Abstract Expressionist haunt, the Cedar Bar, and hung out with her friends who included Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Grace Hartigan. Audrey Flack knew them all. At the onset of Pop, she turned to photorealist painting, capturing in it distinctively feminist subjects, such as traditional objects associated with femininity and beauty, and then it was to sculpting female archetypes, taking back ancient-old stories steeped in misogynism, and reworking them for a 20th and 21st century audience. Whilst she paints and sculpts – and is in the collections of museums such as the Met and MoMA, – Audrey also takes the role of lead vocals and banjo with her band “Audrey Flack and the History of Art Band”, where she centres her songs around female injustice, the most recent being about the French sculptor, Camille Claudel. At 93 years old, you can often find her wearing t-shirts emblazoned with slogans such as Feminist AF, posing in front of her large-scale works, and wearing sunglasses inside. Flack has written it all down in a memoir – With Darkness Came Stars, one of the most moving, extraordinary books I've ever read. Not just for her artistic insights and incredible first-hand analogies of those who she knew in the 20th Century New York artworld, but, for writing, in such genuine words, the truth of what it's like being a mother, a mother and an artist, and a mother to an autistic child. I was moved to tears a number of times. It made me realise, so acutely, how women and mothers have been treated with such injustice, yet had so much resilience to fight for their voice, their art, their children, and their path. I couldn't recommend it highly enough. -- THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Nada Smiljanic Music by Ben Wetherfield

In this episode, I have an enriching conversation with visual artist Emily Weiner. We delve into her captivating work, exploring themes like the archetypes of the collective unconscious, Carl Jung, and Joseph Campbell. We discuss the relationship between universal archetypal spaces and painting, highlighting how art serves as a medium to express symbolic ideas that are often challenging to articulate. Emily shares her creative process, from the initial stages of her paintings to the intricate creation of her ceramic frames. Our discussion spans various topics, including the intersection of spiritual identity and artistic identity, and the profound connections between personal experiences and universal truths. We also touch upon the influence of Jungian psychology and mythology on her work, and how these elements provide a structured framework for symbolism. Weiner's journey is fascinating, from her academic background to her role as a curator at Vanderbilt University, where she curated a show that explored symbols and archetypes. This experience further validated her approach to art, blending scholarly insights with intuitive creativity. We also explore the impact of family and personal life on her artistic practice, and how her experiences as a parent have shaped her perspective and work. Emily's work is a beautiful balance of objective and subjective components of the unconscious reality we all inhabit. Her use of symbols, color palettes, and compositions invites viewers to connect with deeper layers of meaning and universal truths. This conversation is a deep dive into the spiritual and creative processes that drive her art, offering listeners a glimpse into the mind of a truly insightful artist. ----------------------------- www.emilyweiner.com  @emilyweiner Emily Weiner (b. 1981 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American painter living and working in Nashville, TN.

Learn about the minimalist jewelry designer, Betty Cooke, from another legend, Ellen Lupton, graphic designer, educator, and author of dozens of books including "Thinking With Type"This show is powered by Nice PeopleJoin this podcast and the Patreon community: patreon.com/womendesignersyoushouldknowHave a 1:1 mentor call with Amber Asay: intro.co/amberasayLinks:Thinking with Type, book by Ellen LuptonExtra Bold, book co-authored by Ellen LuptonBetty Cooke's Store_________About Betty Cooke:We recently lost another design legend, Betty Cooke, whose passing marks the end of an era in modernist jewelry design. Born in 1924 in Baltimore, Maryland, Betty Cooke was a trailblazing designer celebrated for her minimalist and sculptural jewelry. Her work is defined by clean lines, geometric forms, and a timeless elegance that resonated across generations. After studying at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), where she later became a beloved faculty member, Betty opened her own studio and eventually co-founded The Store Ltd., a Baltimore institution that showcased her work for over five decades. Her jewelry, often handcrafted in silver and gold with touches of wood or acrylic, is iconic for its simplicity and boldness—pieces that remain instantly recognizable as “Betty Cooke.” Cooke's influence is immortalized in museums, galleries, and in the collections of those fortunate enough to own her designs. Her legacy is one of innovation, elegance, and unwavering dedication to her craft.About Ellen Lupton:Ellen Lupton is one of the most influential voices in contemporary graphic design. Born in 1963, she is a celebrated designer, writer, curator, and educator whose work has profoundly shaped design education and practice. After graduating from Cooper Union in 1985, she became a curator at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, where she curated groundbreaking exhibitions that connected design to culture and society. Ellen is perhaps best known for her book Thinking with Type, first published in 2004, which has become an essential guide for designers and is used in classrooms worldwide. Beyond her writing, she has played a pivotal role in shaping the Graphic Design MFA program at MICA, inspiring generations of designers with her innovative teaching methods. Her body of work extends to over 20 books, exploring topics from typography to storytelling in design. Ellen's contributions continue to influence how designers think, create, and communicate in today's visual world.Keep up with what Ellen Lupton's up to:Instagram  |  Website ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

Melancholy Wedgwood (MIT Press, 2024) is an experimental biography of the ceramics entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood that reveals the tenuous relationship of eighteenth-century England to late-capitalist modernity. It traces the multiple strands in the life of the ceramic entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795) to propose an alternative view of eighteenth-century England's tenuous relationship to our own lives and times, amid the ruins of late-capitalist modernity. Through intimate vignettes and essays, and in writing at turns funny, sharp, and pensive, Iris Moon chips away at the mythic image of Wedgwood as singular genius, business titan, and benevolent abolitionist, revealing an amorphous, fragile, and perhaps even shattered life. In the process the book goes so far as to dismantle certain entrenched social and economic assumptions, not least that the foundational myths of capitalism might not be quite so rosy after all, and instead induce a feeling that could only be characterized as blue. Iris Moon is Associate Curator in the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She is the author of Luxury after the Terror and coeditor with Richard Taws of Time, Media, and Visuality in Post-Revolutionary France. She teaches at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Rachel Pafe is a writer and researcher interested in modern Jewish thought, critical theories of mourning, and the boundaries of biographical writing. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I meet with Naomi Matlow, an OCD advocate, musical theater lyricist, writer, and educator who studies Mindfulness. We talk about Buddhism's Four Noble Truths as they relate to the anxiety and OCD cycle. We also discuss.. How to mindfully handle difficult concepts like taboo thoughts, uncertainty, and perceived inability to cope with uncomfortable emotions How thinking is the sixth sense door of experience in Buddhist psychology (seeing, smelling, touching, tasting, hearing, thinking) and how this connects with active minds and intrusive thoughts How Jeffrey M. Schwartz's 1996 book, Brain Lock: Free Yourself from Obsessive Compulsive Behavior, would not exist without Buddhist wisdom and the path of freedom laid out by the Buddha The Buddhist concept of the "self" and "non-self," and how they are helpful concepts in loosening the grip around cognitive fusion.

An international figure in architecture and urban design, the architect Daniel Libeskind is renowned for his ability to evoke cultural memory and is informed by a deep commitment to music, philosophy, and literature. Mr. Libeskind aims to create architecture that is resonant, original, and sustainable. Born in Lód'z, Poland, in 1946, Mr. Libeskind immigrated to the United States as a teenager and with his family, settled in the Bronx. After studying music in New York and Israel on an American-Israel Cultural Foundation Scholarship, he developed into a musical virtuoso, before eventually leaving music to study architecture. He received his professional degree in architecture from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 1970 and a postgraduate degree in the history and theory of architecture from the School of Comparative Studies at Essex University in England in 1972. Daniel Libeskind established his architectural studio in Berlin, Germany, in 1989 after winning the competition to build the Jewish Museum in Berlin. In February 2003, Studio Libeskind moved its headquarters from Berlin to New York City when Daniel Libeskind was selected as the master planner for the World Trade Center redevelopment. Daniel Libeskind's practice is involved in designing and realizing a diverse array of urban, cultural and commercial projects internationally. The Studio has completed buildings that range from museums and concert halls to convention centers, university buildings, hotels, shopping centers and residential towers. As Principal Design Architect for Studio Libeskind, Mr. Libeskind speaks widely on the art of architecture in universities and professional summits. His architecture and ideas have been the subject of many articles and exhibitions, influencing the field of architecture and the development of cities and culture. His new book Edge of Order, detailing his creative process, was published in 2018. Mr. Libeskind lives in New York City with his wife and business partner, Nina Libeskind. The Studio Libeskind office headquarters are in New York City. On this episode, Mr. Libeskind reveals his one way ticket destination to the Garden of Eden before there was a Tree of Knowledge and before Adam gave the apple to Eve. He shares why, what he would do there, whom he would take there, whom he would take with him, and what if anything he would want to build in this perfect state of nature. In the conversation, Mr. Libeskind also reflects on the role of an architect and the social responsibility he has. Plus, he showcases some of his completed work including his affordable housing projects in NYC, Maggie's Center at the Royal Free Hospital in London, and the Dresden Museum of Military History. He also shares projects now underway (he's working in 14 different countries at the moment!) such as the Einstein House at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, a museum in the Atacama Desert in Chile and more. Additionally, we covered what he thinks about each time he walks through Ground Zero (for which he created the master plan). And as a one-time virtuoso, Mr. Libeskind highlights what role music has played in his life and how music and architecture both rely on precision.

Bob Frantz guest hosts for Dennis… Why are we funding the United Nations? Why do we host the UN on our soil? It is an antisemitic organization. It has been for decades.  Jewish students at colleges like Cornell, Cooper Union, and others don't feel safe. Viral videos prove that their fears are legitimate. What are the colleges doing about it? Almost nothing… Where are students who support Hamas getting their ideas?  Everyone has the right to defend their home and their homeland. Israel has a right to defend itself… It didn't start the war, but it has every right to finish it. Callers weigh in.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray and contributor Jaco Booyens join the show to discuss the manhunt under way to find a mass shooter who allegedly killed 18 people and injured 13 others in Maine yesterday. California Governor Gavin Newsom politically exploited the heinous deaths of 18 people to garner support for a constitutional amendment that he knows would not have stopped the killer. New footage released today from Capitol cameras caught Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the act of deliberately pulling the fire alarm and taking down the emergency signs from the door to try to stop House proceedings. This morning, he pleaded guilty to falsely pulling a fire alarm and was arraigned in Washington, D.C. Jewish students at Cooper Union were locked inside the school's library for their own safety as pro-Hamas protesters were outside the doors banging to get in.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour Host Scot Bertram is in for Jim. Today, Scot and Greg open with a somber update on the horrific mass shootings in Maine last night and noting that we finally have a new Speaker of the House.Then they serve up their martinis, starting with the unsurprising revelations that parents in states with new school choice laws are loving the freedom to choose the right schools for their kids and use their own tax dollars to pay for it through vouchers. And of course the left is furious,They also chronicle the onslaught of anti-Semitism that is only intensifying on many college campuses - from students at the University of Washington calling for the end of Israel and Zionists to a Northwetern University professor cheering on and accommodating demonstrators who cut class to the terrifying scene at Cooper Union in New York City, where Jewish students had to be locked in the library to protect them from a pro-Hamas protest that was banging on the doors and screaming at them.Finally, they fume over the thoroughly predictable debt catastrophe that is already bad and about to get MUCH worse. And both parties are to blame.Please visit our great sponsors:4Patriothttps://4Patriots.com/martiniCatch the deal of the day before it is gone!
