Saturday, June 14, 2025 was a very eventful day.  First of all, it is Flag Day.  It's also President Trump's birthday, and the 25th anniversary of our U.S. military.  Also, on that day, two Deomcatic state lawmakers were shout in their homes by an assassin.  It was difinately polically motifrated, and because some of the facts that don't make since, it's unclear of the motive.  Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, was one of a few Democratic governors that had to testify in front of congress for providing Sancuary states for illegal immigrants.  -Thank you for listening!-

After Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd last year, tens of thousands of people all over the world took to the streets to protest police violence against Black people. And if you look at images from these marches, you will probably start to notice a common color scheme -- one involving a lot of red, black, and green. The flag was invented to unite Black people all over the world living under racial repression. When it first came into existence, the flag posed some bold questions about where Black people owed their loyalty: was it to the nations where their lives were demeaned and threatened? Or to a new nation - one they would build entirely for themselves? For hundreds of thousands of Black people, the red-black-and-green symbolized the answer.The Red, the Black, and the Green Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of 99% Invisible ad-free and a whole week early.

(00:36) De column van Abdelkader Benali.  (4:00) Vooral de foto's van de Japanse bordelen blijken gevoelig liggen in Japan. Wie was verantwoordelijk: Amerika of Japan? En hoe zat het systeem in elkaar? Marianne spreekt een oude zuster, die na de oorlog slachtoffers van dwangprostitutie opving. Wat weet zij over de ervaringen van de vrouwen? Ook ontmoet Marianne de kleinzoon van een Amerikaanse soldaat en een Japanse vrouw. Hij is benieuwd of zij kan helpen zijn Amerikaanse familie te vinden. Terug in Nederland krijgt Marianne een verrassend bericht...  Operatie onthechting  Kunstenaar Marianne Ingleby erft het fotoarchief van haar opa Bruce Elkus, Amerikaans legerfotograaf. In 1944 vertrok hij naar het Japanse eiland Iwo Jima, bekend van een van de bloedigste slagen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog.  Als Marianne na zijn dood door de foto's gaat stuit ze op gruwelijke beelden: soldaten met weggeblazen ledematen, een Japanse schedel op een stok als oorlogstrofee en naakte vrouwen met dronken Amerikanen in bordelen. De foto's blijken destijds nooit gepubliceerd: te ontluisterend. Liever keek men naar de wereldberoemde heroïsche foto 'Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima', hét symbool van de Amerikaanse overwinning in de Pacific.  Marianne blijkt goud in handen te hebben met het zeldzame foto-archief. Ze is benieuwd naar de ervaringen van haar eigenzinnige opa, die naast honderden foto's ook aangrijpende brieven vanaf het front naliet. Wat heeft hij meegemaakt aan het front? Waarom maakte hij foto's buiten zijn opdracht? Welke herinneringen roepen ze op bij de Amerikaanse veteranen? En hoe wordt er in Japan op gereageerd?  Samen met radiomaker Laura Stek reist Marianne vanuit Nederland naar Amerika en Japan, gedreven door de vraag: hoe groot is het gat tussen wat we te zien krijgen en de realiteit van oorlog?  Deel 1 en 2 kwamen in 2020 uit, deel 3 en 4 in 2025.  ‘Operatie Onthechting' is een coproductie van Prospektor en VPRO voor NPORadio1.

Daily Meditation Our nation’s flag is more than a piece of fabric—it is a symbol of liberty, justice, and unity, echoing the values and sacrifices that built the United States. In this patriotic devotional, Lynette Kittle reflects on the historical and spiritual significance of the American flag, particularly as we commemorate Flag Day on June 14. Drawing from Isaiah 18:3 and the founding ideals of our country, this prayerful message reminds us that honoring the flag is also about honoring the godly principles of freedom, dignity, and truth that shaped the nation. Whether you come from a military family, a history-loving home, or are simply moved by the red, white, and blue, this devotional encourages you to pause and give thanks for what the flag represents—and for the God who grants true freedom.

Let me ask you — are the protesters in LA standing on the right side of history? It's not a rhetorical question. It's one we need to wrestle with[Segment 1: The Conversation Begins]Recently, I sat down with a guest — an African American American, if you will — to get his take on what's happening in California. His first response?" Nothing." That was it. Nothing. But silence — as I've come to understand — is rarely ever just apathy. Sometimes it's exhaustion. Sometimes it's reflection. Sometimes it's survival. So I asked again: “Do you think the ICE agents are terrorizing people in LA?” His response was telling. “They're doing what they're supposed to be doing,” he said. But when I pressed him on whether they should be doing it — whether it's moral or justified — the lines got blurrier.[Segment 2: ICE, Trump & the Protesters][Segment 3: Words Matter]Let's talk about language. Protesters say they're being “terrorized.” Officials say it's “law enforcement.” Who's right?[Segment 4: So I ask again: Will history look back on these LA protesters as troublemakers… or as truth-tellers?[Conclusion: Right Side of History?][Outro

Bismarck built an empire. His Emperor destroyed it. The German Empire's swift rise to world power status frightened Europe and threatened the balance of power. So Bismark convinced Germany's neighbors and other world powers that while Germany was prosperous and powerful, it was peaceful. Wilhelm II, however, flexed his empire's muscles, frightened his neighbors and insulted other world leaders. The brief history of the German Empire hold lessons for the United Sates (the incumbent superpower) and China (the rising world power). In this interview, we discuss the following:►The term Reich - First Reich, Second Reich and Third Reich. And why this term is no longer used in Germany. ►The year of three emperors ►The term 48ers (not to be confused with the 49ers)►Bismarck: a giant statesman of European history►Wilhelm II: the man who destroyed what Bismarck had meticulously built ►In the 19th century, did Germans call themselves German? ►Why did Bismarck say to build a German state, you need blood and iron? ►How German wars led to the creation of the German Empire? ►Why was the German Empire founded in Paris, and not in Germany? ►How did Darwinism figure into the history of the German Empire? ►How did Wilhelm II make enemies for the German Empire? ►How did Wilhelm II interact with the media?

When you read this column, it will be only a few days before Flag Day. I have often wondered if "Old Glory" could tell her story, just what she might tell us. Recently, I read some warm thoughts, which I'd like to share with you, my dear readers of this column. "Some people call me 'Old Glory.' Others refer to me as the 'Star Spangled Banner,' or the 'Stars and stripes.' But whatever they call me, I am your flag. I remember some time ago, people lined up on both sides of the street to watch a parade, and naturally, I was leading every parade proudly waving in the breeze. What happened? I am still the same old flag, but now I don't feel as proud as I used to be when I come down your street. You just stand there with your hands in your pockets. Then I see the children running around and shouting, is it a sin to be patriotic anymore? Have people forgotten what I stand for and where I've been?" Our flag was first raised on June 14, 1777 and oh, it is more than a piece of cloth. Having a design of stars and stripes, it symbolizes the greatest nation on earth. It has been the refuge of millions of oppressed people from everywhere. It has stood for freedom from want and fear. The red stripes symbolize hardiness and courage - the hardiness of the early pioneers, the courage of the common working man. The white stripes signify purity and innocence - the purity of the idealists who believe that each person is a child of God, and the innocence that strives for his right to be here. The blue field is indicative of vigilance, perseverance and justice - the vigilance to protect man's freedoms, and perseverance that rejects all defeat, and justice the goal of free men everywhere. The stars unified on the field of blue embrace the fifty states as one unified for the good of mankind and country. Honor her, respect her, defend her, never let her enemies from without or within tear her down in shameful defeat, lest she never rise again. Place God first and others second, then our nation will remain the bulwark of peace, freedom and equal opportunity for all mankind. This is your flag. Let your heart salute her.Warm and Winsome Thoughts: Dear friends, let us protect and respect our flag, a symbol that is so important, significant, and meaningful to those of us who love and honor and revere our country.

This Day in Legal History: Colegrove v. GreenOn June 10, 1946, the U.S. Supreme Court decided Colegrove v. Green, upholding an Illinois congressional districting scheme that created dramatically uneven district populations. The plaintiffs argued the map diluted votes by packing more people into some districts than others, violating principles of equal representation. However, the Court, in a plurality opinion by Justice Felix Frankfurter, declined to intervene. Frankfurter emphasized that districting was a “political question” and not within the judiciary's purview to resolve.This ruling effectively insulated redistricting practices from federal judicial review and left voters in malapportioned districts without a constitutional remedy. Frankfurter's view was rooted in judicial restraint, warning against courts becoming embroiled in “political thickets.” But critics argued that this deference allowed entrenched political interests to ignore population shifts and disenfranchise urban voters.The decision stood until 1962, when the Court reversed course in Baker v. Carr. There, the justices held that federal courts could indeed hear redistricting cases under the Equal Protection Clause, ushering in the “one person, one vote” era. Colegrove thus marked the high-water mark of the political question doctrine's use in avoiding electoral oversight—a stance the Court ultimately abandoned.Mexico's antitrust regulator is poised to issue a ruling by June 17 on whether Google engaged in monopolistic practices in the country's digital advertising market. If found guilty, the tech giant could face a fine amounting to 8% of its annual Mexican revenue—potentially one of the largest ever imposed by the agency. The case began in 2020 and moved into a trial phase last year, with a key hearing held on May 20. Mexican regulators claim Google built an illegal monopoly, and has obtained financial data from the Mexican tax authority as part of its investigation.Google, which hasn't disclosed Mexico-specific revenue but reported $20.4 billion for the broader “other Americas” region in 2024, could seek an injunction to delay the ruling pending judicial review. This would parallel similar antitrust issues the company faces in the U.S., where courts have ruled against its dominance in search and advertising technologies.Adding to tensions, President Claudia Sheinbaum has sued Google for renaming the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” for U.S. users—a move she claims Google had no authority to make. The long-standing antitrust case has drawn political attention, with lawmakers urging Mexican officials to act.Google in Mexico faces major potential fine as antitrust ruling nears | ReutersTexas has taken a meaningful first step toward curbing abuse in its affordable housing tax system with HB 21, but the new law leaves major gaps that developers could still exploit. Signed by Governor Greg Abbott, HB 21 aims to end long-term tax breaks for projects that offer little true affordability. However, the bill's reliance on “area median income” (AMI) to define affordability creates a loophole: in wealthy areas, rent set at 80% of AMI can be as high as typical market rates, making the term “affordable” misleading.The law requires that half of all units be reserved for “low-income” tenants, but without adjusting for local wage realities, this standard fails to address the needs of those most burdened by housing costs. Worse still, enforcement is delayed—audits may take years, and there is no mechanism to reclaim tax benefits already received by developers who fall out of compliance. This makes upfront compliance optional in practice, not mandatory.While HB 21 mandates parity in amenities between market-rate and affordable units, this provision seems symbolic without robust inspection. The lack of a tax credit clawback—something present in federal programs like the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit—further weakens accountability.The bill's structure could dissuade honest developers, who face unclear or burdensome requirements, while allowing bad actors to benefit before facing any scrutiny. Texas risks ending exploitative deals without fostering enough viable new ones, exacerbating its housing shortage.Texas Housing Law Addresses Problem but Creates Major LoopholesAs the push for government efficiency grows, the IRS is considering using artificial intelligence to identify noncompliant taxpayers based on past audit outcomes. While this might sound like a smart upgrade, history offers a sobering warning. The Netherlands tried something similar, using AI to spot fraud in childcare benefits, and it ended in a national scandal—the algorithm disproportionately targeted minority families, human reviewers failed to intervene, and the fallout brought down the government.A recent Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) report suggests the IRS could “leverage examination results” to improve case selection algorithms. But this raises red flags. IRS audit history isn't neutral. A 2023 joint study by Stanford and the Treasury Department found that Black taxpayers were audited up to 4.7 times more than others, especially when claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit. That disparity likely came from algorithmic choices aimed at efficiency, not fairness.If the IRS trains AI on this unfiltered historical data, it risks cementing and expanding past biases into future audits. AI could be a powerful tool—but only if accompanied by key safeguards. First, training data must be rigorously reviewed to eliminate bias. Second, model decisions must be transparent so we understand how and why certain cases are flagged. And third, human reviewers must be actively trained and authorized to question and override algorithmic decisions.Week in Insights: TIGTA's AI Ambitions Risk Rerun of Dutch Fiasco This is a public episode.

(01:19) Rond 1730 ontvlucht een zwangere zwarte vrouw de plantage en brengt in het Surinaamse moeras haar zoon Boni ter wereld. Hij wordt Marron-leider en verzetsheld tegen het koloniale gezag. Tessa Leuwsha schreef een boek over zijn leven en denken, en vertelt hoe dat ons beeld van Boni verandert.  (14:53) Het is vijf jaar later. Alle Amerikaanse Iwo Jima veteranen zijn overleden. De wereld is in rap tempo veranderd. De dreiging van oorlog is terug van weggeweest. Marianne gaat op zoek naar de oude vijanden van haar opa en vindt een van de laatste Japanse Iwo Jima veteranen. In hoeverre voldoet hij aan het clichébeeld uit de oorlog? Ook ontmoet ze de kleindochter van een gesneuvelde Japanse Iwo Jima veteraan. Hoe kijkt zij naar de omgang met de oorlog in het huidige Japan?  Operatie onthechting  Kunstenaar Marianne Ingleby erft het fotoarchief van haar opa Bruce Elkus, Amerikaans legerfotograaf. In 1944 vertrok hij naar het Japanse eiland Iwo Jima, bekend van een van de bloedigste slagen van de Tweede Wereldoorlog.  Als Marianne na zijn dood door de foto's gaat stuit ze op gruwelijke beelden: soldaten met weggeblazen ledematen, een Japanse schedel op een stok als oorlogstrofee en naakte vrouwen met dronken Amerikanen in bordelen. De foto's blijken destijds nooit gepubliceerd: te ontluisterend. Liever keek men naar de wereldberoemde heroïsche foto 'Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima', hét symbool van de Amerikaanse overwinning in de Pacific.  Marianne blijkt goud in handen te hebben met het zeldzame foto-archief. Ze is benieuwd naar de ervaringen van haar eigenzinnige opa, die naast honderden foto's ook aangrijpende brieven vanaf het front naliet. Wat heeft hij meegemaakt aan het front? Waarom maakte hij foto's buiten zijn opdracht? Welke herinneringen roepen ze op bij de Amerikaanse veteranen? En hoe wordt er in Japan op gereageerd?  Samen met radiomaker Laura Stek reist Marianne vanuit Nederland naar Amerika en Japan, gedreven door de vraag: hoe groot is het gat tussen wat we te zien krijgen en de realiteit van oorlog?  Deel 1 en 2 kwamen in 2020 uit, deel 3 en 4 in 2025.  ‘Operatie Onthechting' is een coproductie van Prospektor en VPRO voor NPORadio1.

80% of South Africa's people own only 4% of the land. These are Black South Africans. In contrast, 75% of the land is privately owned by white South Africans, who comprise about 7% of the population. But apartheid ended in 1994. So why hasn't land been more equitably distributed since then? In this interview, we discuss the following: ►How colonial era Christianity ended the fluidity of societal and power relations among Blacks in South Africa. ►How colonial-imposed land boundaries changed South Africa's culture and allegiances. ►Do white South Africans experience higher crime than Black South Africans? ►How English South Africans supported Afrikaners - their former enemies - and lifted them up in society so that together they could maintain white supremacy. ►Why do Indians of South Africa call themselves Black? ►What happened after the end of apartheid to South Africa's economy and race relations? ►Why did some historians claim that South Africa's decade of 1970s was lost to history? ►Why did it take so long for apartheid to end? ►How did corruption become so pervasive in South Africa? ►Is South Africa a failed state?Read History Behind News blog post on South Africa.

Waylon discusses democracy, independent media, and how you can be a participant—if you care.  “We [Elephant] often criticize Donald Trump—and we're fine with disagreement and discussion. But we're not fine with hate or lies. That's our line. We're totally fine with people correcting us, or thinking differently. We're not okay with different facts. Facts are facts...because they're true! You drop an apple and it falls. That's related to gravity and to science. From a spiritual point of view, our approach is empathy, openness, learning, not holding on to trying to be perfect. And the most important word, I think, in the Elephant land is 'caring.' Often we get comments about how we're disrespecting the flag, or how we're not patriots, or we should move out of the United States—we get told to eff off or leave the country if we don't love it. Well, my love, like any healthy relationship, is rooted in (hopefully) honesty and the courage to be honest, in a respectful way—which is a journalism ethic.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis

The Carolina Hurricanes have been so bad in the Conference Finals. (14:00) NPPOD. (22:45) Walker Buehler and Alex Cora were ejected in the 3rd inning yesterday after arguing with an ump. That's fine.
