This podcast elucidates the intricate interplay between current trade policies, consumer behavior, and corporate performance within the furniture industry, centering on the pivotal inquiry of demand trajectories. With tariffs re-emerging as a focal point, the administration's strategy aims to diminish imports while fostering domestic production, a dual-edged sword that simultaneously complicates operational frameworks for importers and retailers. The pronounced increase in the effective average tariff rate, now nearing 10%, signals a substantial shift in cost structures, potentially constraining consumer purchasing power and thereby influencing discretionary spending on furniture items. Furthermore, the episode delves into the ramifications of recent legal developments and enforcement activities, particularly concerning mattress imports, which underscore the imperative for compliance and transparency amid heightened scrutiny of global supply chains. As we navigate this multifaceted landscape, it becomes evident that a nuanced understanding of these factors is essential for positioning our businesses effectively in an evolving market. The current landscape of the furniture industry is intricately woven with a myriad of factors that dictate the trajectory of demand and the strategic positioning of businesses within this sector. Foremost among these factors is the evolving trade policy, which has witnessed a significant elevation in tariffs, escalating from a mere 2% in 2024 to an unprecedented 10% in 2025. This sharp increase not only marks the highest level of tariffs seen in decades but also serves as a double-edged sword for industry participants. For domestic manufacturers, the implications of such policies may appear advantageous, as they ostensibly encourage a resurgence of domestic production while simultaneously reducing reliance on overseas supply chains. However, for importers and retailers who are heavily dependent on global sourcing, the repercussions of these tariffs necessitate a recalibration of their operational strategies. As tariffs exert upward pressure on costs, industry stakeholders are compelled to contemplate the ramifications on retail pricing and consumer demand, particularly in a market where furniture purchases are often perceived as discretionary. Moreover, the discourse surrounding trade policy is further complicated by the potential legal uncertainties looming on the horizon, specifically regarding a pending Supreme Court case that could challenge the authority under which certain tariffs have been imposed. This adds a layer of complexity for planners striving to forecast costs amidst an environment characterized by fluctuating regulations. Concurrently, the enforcement landscape has intensified, especially within the bedding category, where investigations into alleged evasion of anti-dumping duties are underway. Such developments compel companies to enhance their compliance measures and documentation practices, as any deviation may result in significant financial repercussions. Thus, the synthesis of these trade dynamics, coupled with shifting consumer sentiments and behaviors, necessitates a sophisticated understanding of market forces as businesses navigate the evolving landscape. As we delve deeper into consumer behavior, particularly in the digital realm, we observe a growing unease regarding data privacy and dynamic pricing strategies. A notable percentage of consumers express a willingness to forsake retailers perceived as manipulating prices based on personal data, underscoring the critical balance that must be struck between personalization and transparency. In this high-stakes environment, trust becomes paramount, as consumers increasingly scrutinize pricing practices that may appear unfair or opaque. As such, furniture retailers are urged to refine their pricing strategies to prioritize clarity and fairness, fostering a stronger connection with their clientele. In conclusion, the...

In the early twentieth century, automobile makers understood the value of presenting new cars as entertainment. Farmers shopping for new equipment at farm shows and women seeking the latest household conveniences couldn't help but be drawn to highly polished automobiles and acres of shining chrome.

The Lord wants us to know that we are in a war. We are at war. We are engaged in many battles. Some we lose. Every so often, we win. But we are in a state of war as long as we are still here on earth, battling for our eternal destiny. The Devil does not rest. Hence, our Lord sees the people as sheep without a shepherd. They need protection, preparation, equipment, discipline, and so on. Foremost, they require a leader and a guide.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-donald-trump-and-global-disorder-the-unravelling-of-the-old-world-order-has-begun-13970884.htmlThere is a general air of uncertainty in international relations right now, and there is the distinct feeling that the old order changeth. The upheaval is likely to bring difficult times to all of us. The long-predicted end of the “liberal, rules-based international order” seems to be upon us, with a definite fin-de-siecle feeling. The certainties that we have long held on to are no longer reliable.Foremost, of course, is the role of the United States, which bestrode the world like a colossus in the aftermath of the Second World War, and again after the end of the Cold War. Those of us born in the post-war years looked up to America, the “City on the Hill”, the beacon, celebrated in song and film, a cultural anchor in addition to a military and economic superpower.I remember the day my dad walked into the dining room with his newspaper and told us, “Marilyn Monroe is dead”. I was a small boy, and I had no idea who Marilyn Monroe was, but I remember that moment. I vaguely remember the Kennedy assassination. And every month, SPAN magazine brought images of the good life. My father did his PhD on John Steinbeck.Thus, for me and for those of my generation, it was only natural to look up to the US as an exemplar. In college, we used to refer to it, only half-jokingly, as ‘God's own country'. (This was before Amitabh Kant applied this moniker to Kerala, and it stuck). I remember us reading Time and Newsweek in the IIT Madras hostel common room. We read them cover to cover.So it was but natural for us to write the GRE and apply to US universities; and many of us got in, with good scores and good grades. It was relatively easy in the late 1970s. And it was a revelation for us to go to a country that pretty much worked well; the standard of living was quite a bit higher than back at home, where you had to wait 6 years for a phone or a scooter.But fifty years later, things are not the same. The gap in the standard of living between India and the US had narrowed considerably, although the rule of law, clean air and public spaces, and the lack of petty corruption, plus the tendency to stick to the letter of agreements (ok, I grant that Trump may be an exception) are all still much more prevalent in the US.What has happened, though, is the relative decline of the US in almost every way. Take research. Or manufacturing. Or popular culture. Others are narrowing the gap steadily. Or take the streets of, say, San Francisco. The pristine, well kept streets I encountered when I first moved there are now in shambles, sometimes covered in human feces, with homeless people and needles all over the place.The US, and it hurts me to say this, as I am an unabashed Americophile (if that's a word), over-extended itself through unnecessary wars and unwise crusades which the Deep State promoted for self-preservation, but which in fact turned out to be counterproductive.As I wrote recently in relation the Venezuela gamble, the US may well be following in the footsteps of other countries that once held the reserve currency, but fell into a trifecta of excessive debt, reduced core competence, complacency and overextension.The resulting retreat into “Fortress America” as outlined in the National Security Strategy, as well as the unabashed pursuit of American interests at the expense of allies and friends, is causing everything to fall apart, as in W B Yeats' warning.The reaction of the US's closest allies to various Trump diktats has been instructive. Europeans and the British applauded when Trump chose to peremptorily remove President Maduro from Venezuela and make a play for that nation's massive oil reserves. But when he began in earnest to pursue Greenland, there were loud protests from some parts of NATO.That alliance appears to be crumbling as Trump, not unreasonably, suggests that Europeans need to pay for their own security, instead of expecting the US to finance it forever. Also, despite the appearance of a land-grab, Greenland has a trade and security rationale: as the Arctic Sea becomes more ice-free due to climate change, the fabled Northwest Passage and other trade routes open up, China is already ready for its own land-grab with its “Polar Silk Road”.Here's a tweet from Ken Noriyasu of the Nikkei, highlighting future trade routes:But the threat to Denmark's territorial integrity, in case Greenland opts to join the US, has rattled NATO members. Threats of escalating tariffs (10–25%) on Denmark and other NATO allies have sparked outrage. Joint Nordic/European statements reaffirm sovereignty; U.S. rhetoric treats it as a strategic necessity (Arctic resources, China/Russia competition). This treats allies as transactional subordinates, eroding NATO cohesion.The end of NATO would be a seismic shift, but I have long argued that Western Europe should bury its hatchet with Russia, because their real long-term foe is China, which has its eye on Siberia on the one hand, and Europe's entire industrial might on the other.There is more: Ongoing wars (Ukraine, Middle East), tariff wars, alliance strains, and rising “spheres of influence” logic. Davos 2026 panels describe it as the “last-chance saloon” for the old order. UN Secretary-General Guterres warns leaders are “running roughshod over international law.” Think tanks (Brookings, Stimson) call it an interregnum: the liberal order is dying, no coherent replacement has emerged, and “monsters” fill the vacuum. Is “some rough beast” slouching towards Bethlehem to be born, as in the apocalyptic prophecy?What will rise from the ruins of the old world order? We can only wonder, as there are several possible answers:* Transactionalist multipolarity. Great powers (U.S., China, India, EU/Russia bloc) negotiate deals based on leverage, not universal rules. Might means right, backed by economic coercion or force.* Fragmented regional orders. Spheres where dominant powers set norms (U.S. in Americas/Arctic, China in Indo-Pacific, Russia near its borders, if there is a rapprochement with the EU). I have long predicted spheres of influence in the wake of what I see as a G2 condominium between the US and China.* No-rules world (worst case). Rising impunity, more unilateral interventions, eroded deterrence, potential for cascading crises. We are already beginning to see this with China's unilateral land- and sea-grabs (e.g. the “nine-dash” line).2025 was an annus horribilis. 2026 is shaping up to be worse. None of the above scenarios is good for India, especially as it is beginning to get its manufacturing in order, at what appears to be exactly the wrong time, as tariff wars abound.By the looks of it, 2026 will be worse for all concerned. Centrifugal forces are going to tear up globalism, and a narrow nationalism may not bode well for anybody.The AI-generated podcast from notebookLM.google.com is at:1650 words, 19th Jan 2026 This is a public episode.

Today I have the true honor of speaking with journalist, storyteller, historical researcher, and Native American ceremonial dancer Julian Brave Noisecat about his book, We Survived the Night.  This highly original book blends many voices and registers, from both well-known but also buried and purposefully obscured historical archives, to tribal and family stories.  Foremost are the legends and adaptations of the Coyote figure—which haunts, inspires, deceives, and, yes, teaches lessons that help Indigenous peoples survive the night. We spend some time talking about how Coyote is many things at once, but not all the time, we discuss notions of purity and mixedness, multiplicity and singularity, truth and lies, and come out on the side of generosity, love, and creativity, to make worlds that deserve not only to survive, but also to thrive.Julian Brave NoiseCat is a writer, Oscar-nominated filmmaker, champion powwow dancer and student of Salish art and history. His first documentary, Sugarcane, directed alongside Emily Kassie, follows an investigation into abuse and missing children at the Indian residential school NoiseCat's family was sent to near Williams Lake, British Columbia. Sugarcane premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival where NoiseCat and Kassie won the Directing Award in the U.S. Documentary Competition. The film was recognized with dozens of awards including Best Documentary from the National Board of Review and was nominated for an Academy Award. A proud member of the Canim Lake Band Tsq'escen and descendant of the Lil'Wat Nation of Mount Currie, NoiseCat's first book, We Survived the Night, was published by Alfred A. Knopf, Penguin Random House Canada, and Profile Books in October 2025 and was an instant national bestseller in Canada with translations forthcoming from Albin Michel in France, Aufbau Verlag in Germany, Iperborea in Italy, and Libros del Asteroide in Spain.NoiseCat's journalism has appeared in dozens of publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The New Yorker and has been recognized with many awards including the 2022 American Mosaic Journalism Prize, which honors "excellence in long-form, narrative or deep reporting on stories about underrepresented and/or misrepresented groups in the present American landscape." In 2021, NoiseCat was named to the TIME100 Next list of emerging leaders alongside the starting point guard of his fantasy basketball team, Luka Doncic.

Gary J. Walters was an integral part of White House history during a 37 year career in which he served seven presidents and their families. Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House HIstorical Association, sat down with Gary to recount some of the moments he witnessed which are also captured in the new book White House Memories 1970 - 2017: Recollections of the Longest Serving Chief Usher. Gary started his tenure at the White House during the Nixon presidency as an Executive Protective Service officer. In 1976 he became an assistant usher under President Gerald Ford. When Gary was named Chief Usher in 1986 he took on a job that transcended politics. The Chief Usher oversees the day to day operations of the Executive Mansion and grounds, managing the Residence staff and a space that is uniquely many things: a living museum, a ceremonial and working space, as well as a home. In this episode, Gary recounts the joys and challenges of elegant State Dinners and decorating for the holidays, and reflects on solemn moments such as the assassination attempt of President Ronald Reagan and the events of September 11th, 2001. Foremost in his mind was making sure the presidents and first families were comfortable and afforded privacy during what were often stressful times. When he retired in 2007 after 21 years as Chief Usher, Gary received the President's Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service from President George W. Bush. Remarkably, Gary continues to serve by directing the proceeds from his book to the mission of the White House Historical Association: to share the history of the White House, the People's House.  White House Memories 1970 - 2017: Recollections of the Longest Serving Chief Usher by Gary J. Walters, published by the White House Historical Association, will be released at the Association's Annual Holiday Book Festival on December 5, 2025.

Utopian Genderscapes: Rhetorics of Women's Work in the Early Industrial Age (Southern Illinois UP, 2021) focuses on three prominent yet understudied intentional communities—Brook Farm, Harmony Society, and the Oneida Community—who in response to industrialization experimented with radical social reform in the antebellum United States. Foremost among the avenues of reform was the place and substance of women's work. Author Michelle C. Smith seeks in the communities' rhetorics of teleology, choice, and exceptionalism the lived consequences of the communities' lofty goals for women members. This feminist history captures the utopian reconfiguration of women's bodies, spaces, objects, and discourses and delivers a needed intervention into how rhetorical gendering interacts with other race and class identities. The attention to each community's material practices reveals a gendered ecology, which in many ways squared unevenly with utopian claims. Nevertheless, this volume argues that this utopian moment inaugurated many of the norms and practices of labor that continue to structure women's lives and opportunities today: the rise of the factory, the shift of labor from home spaces to workplaces, the invention of housework, the role of birth control and childcare, the question of wages, and the feminization of particular kinds of labor. An impressive and diverse array of archival and material research grounds each chapter's examination of women's professional, domestic, or reproductive labor in a particular community. Fleeting though they may seem, the practices and lives of those intentional women, Smith argues, pattern contemporary divisions of work along the vibrant and contentious lines of gender, race, and class and stage the continued search for what is possible.

By exploring foodways, beliefs, identities, and histories—both remembered and forgotten—he seeks to reveal the truths of the region he calls home.   Buy The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi   Wright Thompson's Website   Book Review for The Barn from Washington Post   At about 1:45, Wright talks about the paperback release of The Barn and feedback on the book as “resonat[ing] with readers” in an “urgent” way At about 4:10, Wright responds back to Pete's questions about what connections he sees between the events of The Barn and contemporary politics and culture At about 7:00, The two reflect on and Wright highlights the open-casket funeral  At about 8:10, Wright responds to Pete's questions about the biased/blind books that he was exposed to in his Mississippi schooling; he also highlights North Towards Home and Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom as his favorite book of all-time   the accusation is always the confession At about 10:30, Wright asks Pete about books/writers that his guests have consistently hailed as the best; Pete is unsure, but thinks right away of Toni Morrison At about 11:50, Wright shouts out Ian Toll as a favorite writer At about 12:10, Wright speaks on the best barbecue, highlighting Scott's-Parker in Lexington, TN At about 14:30, Pete notes the myriad connections between Mississippi/Southern/cotton economy and so many disparate parts of the country and world; Wright expands upon international connections and the need to “go back across the ocean” to fully understand the events of the book and so much more history At about 17:30, the two discuss the “incredible” Gloria Dickerson and her incredible work in Drew, MS, a “stripped” town ruined by economic chains At about 19:15, Pete notes his close connection to Christopher Rufo, and Wright envisions a conversation with him and others railing against “Wokeism” about differences in Black history and CRT  At about 21:55, Wright discusses the “entry point” for The Barn, an article  At about 23:00, Wright discusses an incredible connection between Avery Bradley and Chamillionaire and highlights  At about 24:00, Wright talks of his reverence for Sam Anderson, especially his work regarding Weird Al Yankovic  At about 25:05, Wright responds to Pete's question regarding Frank DeFord, Bill Naack, Ric Telander, Gary Smith, Tom Junod, Michael Paternitti The Long Fall of Flight 111  At about 26:10, Pete stans Wright's wonderful collection, The Cost of These Dreams, an incredible anthology focusing on top-tier athletes At about 27:05, Pete traces the book's beginning, with Willie Reed seeing Emmett Till in his killers' truck and Pete asks Wright about the titular barn and its standing as a living being in 2025 At about 29:50, Wright responds to Pete's questions about the impunity with which white people terrorized Black people in Mississippi; he talks about a “moral test”  At about 33:35, Wright highlights family members who passed and failed the aforementioned “moral test” and ideas of all Mississippians being bound together  At about 35:30, Wright talks about history as being weaponized in recent years, versus something to be analyzed/examined with its “disparate datapoints” At about 36:40, Wright points to connections between Chicago and the Mississippi Delta At about 37:25, Wright talks about tracing the intimate last days of Emmett Till, and Keith Beauchamp's and Jerry Mitchell's intrepid work that inspired and lifted his own At about 40:40, Wright responds to Pete's question about ideas  At about 42:40, Wright discusses the “death penalty” that Roy Bryant and J.W.

“[1 Corinthians 15] brings to a climax the theme of grace as God's sovereign free gift through the cross to which 'the dead' contribute no special ‘knowledge' or ‘experience,' but do indeed undergo transformation of life and lifestyle through ‘God, who gives life to the dead' (Rom. 4:17) on the basis of promise.”—Anthony Thiselton 1 Corinthians 15:1–11

Send us a textTHIS IS SPARTA. Xenophon said that, even in his day, the rest of the Greeks thought Sparta's laws wholly strange: "all men praise such institutions, but no state chooses to imitate them." Foremost among these strange laws, of course, were the ones concerned with the rearing and education of children. And these laws, he said, were in their own turn developed not by imitating others, but came from the mind of a single great lawgiver: Lycurgus. It should come as no surprise, then, that the strict military training regime instituted by something of a philosopher-king held out its charms to the young men of Athens who surrounded Socrates. This had, in the case of Critias and the Thirty Tyrants, disastrous results. Jonathan and Ryan take a look at Xenophon, Plutarch, and other texts concerned with the appalling and enthralling institutions of ancient Lacadaemon.Henri-Irénée Marrou's A History of Education in Antiquity: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780299088149Previous New Humanists episode on Sparta: https://newhumanists.buzzsprout.com/1791279/episodes/17503634-sparta-before-the-reactionary-turn-episode-xciiXenophon's Constitution of the Spartans: https://cmuntz.hosted.uark.edu/texts/xenophon/constitution-of-the-spartans.htmlPlutarch's Instituta Laconica: https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Moralia/Instituta_Laconica*.htmlPaul Cartledge's Spartan Reflections: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780520231245Pericles' Funeral Oration (from Thucydides): https://hrlibrary.umn.edu/education/thucydides.htmlNew Humanists episode on Nietzsche's The Greek State: https://newhumanists.buzzsprout.com/1791279/episodes/14044549-compassion-versus-classical-antiquity-episode-lviiPlato's Republic: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780465094080New Humanists episode on Nietzsche's Homer's Contest: https://newhumanists.buzzsprout.com/1791279/episodes/13949908-nietzsche-homer-and-cruelty-episode-lviFragments of Critias: https://demonax.info/doku.php?id=text:critias_of_athens_fragmentsPaul Rahe's The Grand Strategy of Classical Sparta: https://bookshop.org/a/25626/9780300227093Paul Rahe's Was There a Spartan Mirage?: https://yalebooks.yale.edu/2016/10/06/was-there-a-spartan-mirage/New Humanists is brought to you by the Ancient Language Institute: https://ancientlanguage.com/Links may have referral codes, which earn us a commission at no additional cost to you.

Barry Morphew Re-Charged: 7 Disturbing New Details in Suzanne's Murder Case Description: Barry Morphew's murder case has captivated and frustrated investigators and the public alike since Suzanne Morphew disappeared on Mother's Day weekend, 2020. Initially charged with her murder, Barry walked free in 2022 after prosecutorial missteps caused charges to be dismissed. However, in 2023, the discovery of Suzanne's remains provided chilling new evidence, reigniting the case and leading prosecutors to re-charge Barry with murder. This video reveals seven disturbing new details that prosecutors believe decisively tie Barry to Suzanne's death. Foremost among these is the unsettling forensic evidence: Suzanne's remains tested positive for BAM, a rare wildlife tranquilizer Barry previously purchased. We also explore how a syringe cap discovered in Barry's clothing raises alarming questions about his possible actions around the time of Suzanne's disappearance. We examine the digital forensics evidence meticulously analyzed by the FBI, highlighting Barry's suspicious phone activity and vehicle movements coinciding with Suzanne's disappearance. Also discussed are revelations about Suzanne's secret recordings, capturing intimate details of her troubled marriage and her determination to escape Barry. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer offers expert commentary, explaining how these new developments substantially strengthen the case and why the tranquilizer evidence could be a decisive factor in court. We discuss Barry's earlier $15 million malicious prosecution lawsuit and how its dismissal further complicates his public image and defense strategy. Join us for a comprehensive breakdown of these disturbing new details, exploring their implications for Barry Morphew's trial and the ongoing pursuit of justice for Suzanne.
