As Canada Day and Independence Day approach, Jeremy Bradley wonders if people still have a loyalty or allegiance to their place of birth. Because you were born in a certain place, do you automatically like the local sports teams and root for them? Or, if you move away, do you still have to support them because that's here you're from? JB recounts the time he was ashamed of his country and being a Canadian. Compared to what's happening in the U.S., he proclaims he's proudly Canadian again. (Funny how world events can make you appreciate where you're from.)

Celebrating his pioneering quartet's 30th anniversary in 2025, whilst confidently co-piloting the Bisco renaissance/revolution in motion.

The Wall Street Journal reports US President Trump may announce the next Federal Reserve Chair in September or October. The Senate needs to confirm the Chair, and in Trump's first term was prepared to oppose several of Trump's Fed nominees. Only convention prevents the Fed from overruling the Chair—an obvious political appointee may be ignored by the FOMC. The greatest threat to policy independence would be someone who was not an obvious political puppet but was swayed by Trump's instructions.

President Donald Trump today invited everyday Americans to the White House as he made another push for his sweeping tax and border legislation—the “Big Beautiful Bill.” However, Republicans are facing hurdles in the Senate as they try to pass the measure before Independence Day.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, revealed new details about the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities—including that the Massive Ordnance Penetrator munition used against the Fordow nuclear site was specifically created for that target.Iran's supreme leader made his first public statement since the cease-fire with Israel. Ayatollah Khamenei declared victory in the war and claimed that U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites failed to cause significant damage. Meanwhile, families of hostages held in the Gaza Strip continue to call for the release of their loved ones.

Tuesday marked the start of the official retail fireworks season in Texas. Retailers with a permit can sell fireworks to the public for Independence Day from June 24 through midnight July 4. This period is one of several times throughout the year when fireworks sales are permitted, but the rules can vary by region. In other news, health and resource organizations will host free testing events across locations in Dallas on Friday for National HIV Testing Day. Around 23,300 Texans live with undiagnosed HIV infections, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services website; the Dallas Police Department received a $1.6 million donation from QuikTrip Wednesday for new reality-based training structures at the current Red Bird police academy amid ongoing plans to build a new academy and public safety complex; And do you have a desire to become a Dallas police officer? One thing that may have been a deterrent in the past has been eliminated. A college degree is no longer required. The City Council on Wednesday unanimously approved changing police hiring standards to include applicants without prior college experience. Learn more about your ad choices.

Olivia and Shauna discuss their summer plans: Olivia's seeing as much live music as possible, and Shauna's just trying to beat the punishing Phoenix heat...at an emo/anime dance party? The Junkies then discuss how to celebrate our nation's birthday in these...challenging times, and they decide there's no better way than to watch Independence Day from 1996. Why not flash back to the time when we all felt good about our country, and also about Will Smith? The Junkies get nostalgic about their first time watching the film, and about having a hot president who spoke in complete sentences. Having recently rewatched the movie, they debate whether the film still stands up after nearly 30 years, and take a look at the 2016 sequel that practically no one saw. The Junkies wonder what the next Independence Day sequel could be about...if there were another alien invasion, would it not be an improvement on the current state of affairs?You can watch the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast on YouTube!

Greetings in faith, hope, and love. Summertime is here! Growing up in Texas, summers were nice, but the heat could be overbearing and the air thick and balmy. It never stopped my friends and me from going to the park, having fun, feeling free and alive.Thinking about today's environment and how many families and children are afraid to leave their homes—to travel, to simply live and thrive—is disheartening. Many are overwhelmed by fear and the loss of freedom, no matter if they are U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents, documented, or undocumented. The welfare of those who are labeled different carries a burden to simply exist and the right to experience freedom as whole persons in Jesus Christ.United Women in Faith, we believe that every person is created in the image of God and should have equal rights, no matter their location, identity, religion, or status. For 156 years, we have been working for justice and advocating for change to policies or systems that prevent all God's children from thriving. If you look back over our history, our foremothers were part of every movement for equal and civil rights and peace building in society and the church.Recently, at our senior leadership team meeting, I shared a devotional reading titled “We Have Work to Do,” from Vincent Harding. He had just shared with young people at a Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., observance, when a young man asked, “If Dr. King knew his life was at risk, why didn't he step back? Why didn't he just chill out?” Before Harding responded, a young woman spoke up with great wisdom, saying, “Dr. King couldn't just chill out. He knew he had work to do!”My sisters and anyone reading this column, United Women in Faith must continue to do the hard work of advocating and seeking justice for the oppressed and the marginalized. Like King, who risked his life for God's call to all, we must love kindness, seek justice, and walk humbly with God. Jesus also risked his life to overcome roadblocks of difference and evil that prevented the vulnerable from being part of the body of God. Micah 6:8 and Jesus' advocacy for the vulnerable and challenging unjust systems tells us what is right in the eyes of God.As United Methodists, we vow to resist evil in all its forms, through the sacrament of baptism and reaffirmation. Until unjust systems, policies, and actions at the federal, state, and local levels of our country afford human and civil rights to all, we have work to do for God's kin-dom to come on earth as it is in heaven. This July 4, Independence Day, let's commit to engage with more zeal, putting our love in action through our social justice priorities: Ending Mass Incarceration and Criminalization of Communities of Color, and Climate Justice.There is always a Call to Action in which you can participate. Go to uwfaith.org to sign up for alerts or to take the Micah 6:8 pledge. Or participate in Mission u, Practicing Hope Together. Change is possible if we do this work together. We believe love in action can change the world. May it be so. 

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for June 25th Publish Date:  June 25th    Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Wednesday, June 25th and Happy Birthday to Mick Fleetwood.

Established in 1983, the nonprofit supports students, teachers, and district initiatives through scholarships, teacher awards, and funding for classroom needs. Kraus, a former teacher and administrator, aims to expand the foundation’s impact across the district. With over $2 million awarded in scholarships and endowments, the foundation continues to grow, supporting the community with a focus on educational excellence and service to Marietta City Schools. STORY 2: Cobb, cities to meet over new sales tax referendum The Cobb Board of Commissioners will meet with mayors of the county’s seven cities this week to discuss the 2028 SPLOST referendum, a 1% sales tax funding infrastructure projects. Each city will present its project priorities, with a focus on roads, transportation, and community needs. The current SPLOST, collecting $750 million, ends in 2027. A draft project list is due by October, with public feedback sessions in early 2026. Voters will decide on the package in November 2026. Officials aim to address rising costs and ensure impactful projects to gain voter support. STORY 3: Cobb to consider in-house paramedic program The Cobb Board of Commissioners will vote on an agreement with MetroAtlanta Ambulance Service to establish an in-house paramedic program at Cobb Fire & Emergency Services.

Limited to employees of Cobb Fire or MetroAtlanta, the program will cost $650 per student, significantly less than typical tuition. Cobb Fire will provide classroom space and instructors, while MetroAtlanta oversees accreditation and enrollment.

This Independence Day, while you are celebrating your earthly freedoms, remember the One who made a way for you to enjoy eternal freedom and commissioned you to proclaim the Good News to the poor in this generation. “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” -Matthew 10:29-31This devotional is from our book, The Wise Woman Enjoys.

Colton Krolak, KTAR reporter, joined the show to talk about the dangers of fireworks ahead of Independence Day weekend. He shares ways to be safe and what is vs. what isn't legal in Arizona when it comes to fireworks.

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau's market basket survey has come out showing that Wisconsinites may be spending a bit more this year for their 4th of July Barbecues. Ben Jarboe catches up with Cassie Sonnentag, the Senior Director of Public Relations with the Wisconsin Farm Bureau, to share the details on why this holiday may be costing a bit more than in the past. She says that one of the biggest causes is the increase in the prices of protein which includes ground beef and eggs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The legendary Don Barnes, co-founder and frontman of 38 Special, takes us on a riveting journey through five decades of rock and roll stardom. With his signature raspy voice and warm storytelling style, Barnes reveals the fascinating origin of the band's name—a police standoff where an officer threatened to "shoot the lock off" their rehearsal space with his 38 Special revolver.Growing up in Jacksonville, Florida—what Barnes calls "the Liverpool of the South"—shaped the band's musical foundation as teenagers playing sailors' clubs alongside future members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers. This naval town connection forged their musical DNA and taught them the fundamentals of songwriting by covering popular hits.Barnes shares a surprising revelation about 38 Special's true influences. Despite being categorized as Southern rock, the band drew heavy inspiration from British Invasion artists like The Beatles and Jeff Beck. After their first three albums "went straight over the cliff," they discovered their winning formula: stripping songs down to what Barnes calls "muscle and melody"—powerful guitar work paired with strong melodies and relatable stories drawn from real-life experiences.Don also shares other passions with Lindsay and Bruce that include keeping sets of golf clubs on the tour bus. And speaking of that bus, it rolls into Dublin as 38 Special and Kansas headline another rockin' Independence Day celebration at Coffman Stadium!

The month of July is a very special month. July has many reasons to celebrate! Though not widely known, it was on July 2nd, not July 4th, that the Continental Congress passed the resolution declaring the independence from the colonies. We celebrate Independence Day on July 4. Are you a celebrator? Having lived several years in the Fourth of July city, Seward Nebraska, Independence Day has very special memories for me. Singing the Star Spangled Banner has inspired millions and moved many to tears. It has symbolized with the flag what it really does mean to be a loyal American. Are you aware that it was here in the state of South Dakota that the Star Spangled Banner received the first impetus, which eventually led to its adoption as our national anthem? I was very impressed when I first learned about the history of this stirring song. It all happened in 1892 when Colonel Calb H Carlton assumed command of the Eighth US Calvary Regiment at Fort Meade near Sturgis. Carlton writes in his memoirs that he and his wife discussed the fact that the United States had no official song. Mrs. Carlton suggested they do something about it. It was at Fort Meade that Colonel Carlton ordered his Calvary band to play the Star Spangled Banner at all parades and formations. He further states that all persons, including civilians, should rise respectfully, and all men not under arms would remove their hats. Colonel Carlton promoted the idea beyond his own South Dakota base, and consequently, the practice was adopted by other commanders. There was something patriotically contagious about the show of respect for the song and the flag it honored. It was a one sentence bill that passed on March 3, 1931 and signed by President Hoover that designated the Star Spangled Banner as the National Anthem of the United States of America. The patriotic custom began in the Black Hills, and so it gives our national anthem its roots in South Dakota. Patriotic Thoughts: Francis Scott Key, a lawyer, wrote the lyrics for our national anthem during the morning of September 14th, 1814, at the dawn's early light. He saw the American flag fly, and in a burst of patriotic fervor, He hurriedly penned the immortal words. We thank the father of our national anthem with renewed patriotism, let's celebrate Independence Day.

Fresh berries are one of the best benefits of summer. There are plenty of places where locally grown blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and more are available for purchase in convenient packages, but it's pretty much scientific fact that berries taste better when you pick them off the bush yourself. So we did just that! Ben and Chris ventured out to the Thunderbird Berry Farm just outside of Broken Arrow to get their blueberry fix and learn more about this family business currently in the midst of its 20th u-pick season.  Also on this week's episode, the editors share their favorite Oklahoma-grown fruits and vegetables, and podvents lets us know where to celebrate Independence Day a week early.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. — Galatians 5:13 A volunteer at Roseland Christian Ministries saw a sign for the celebration of Juneteenth and said, “Why can't we all just celebrate July 4? What is Juneteenth anyway?” I took a deep breath and said something along these lines: “I'm still learning, but here's what I know. After the Emancipation Proclamation was declared in 1863, it wasn't enforced in Confederate states until 1865. On June 19, 1865, a U.S. general arrived in Galveston, Texas, to inform enslaved people that they were legally free—two years after the proclamation. That's what Juneteenth celebrates.” I pushed a little further. “Independence Day might mean something different if your freedom didn't come on July 4, 1776. And if any of us is enslaved, are we free?” In the United States, Juneteenth is not just a day for Black Americans to celebrate—it's a reminder for everyone that true freedom is something we should strive for together. Galatians 5:13 reminds us, “You . . . were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” I pray for the humility to keep learning and listening. Juneteenth is a time to reflect on the journey toward justice and equality and, as followers of Jesus Christ, to remember that we are called to use our freedom to serve one another. Lord, grant us the gift of true freedom in Christ. May we serve others with open hearts, walking humbly in your love and grace. Amen.

This Day in Legal History: Glass-Steagall SignedOn June 16, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933 into law—a pivotal piece of Depression-era legislation better known by the names of its congressional architects: Senator Carter Glass and Representative Henry Steagall. The law's timing was not accidental; it came just months after the catastrophic banking failures that had shuttered thousands of banks and evaporated public trust in the financial system. At its core, the act sought to restore that trust through structural reform, not just emergency patchwork.The most well-known feature of the law was the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which for the first time guaranteed Americans' bank deposits up to a set amount. This singular policy innovation helped stem the tide of bank runs and brought stability to the retail banking sector almost overnight.But the law went further. In what became known as the Glass–Steagall provisions, it imposed a formal separation between commercial banking and investment banking. The rationale was simple: banks that take deposits and issue loans should not also be speculating in stocks, bonds, or other risky assets. The aim was to curtail the kind of speculative behavior that had, in part, fueled the 1929 crash.This firewall between different banking functions endured for decades, until its gradual erosion and eventual repeal under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. Critics of deregulation would later argue that dismantling Glass–Steagall helped set the stage for the 2008 financial crisis.So, why does June 16 matter? Because it marks the day Congress decided that the rule of law—not just market forces—would govern American finance. It's a reminder that even in moments of deep economic despair, institutional design and legislative action can restore public confidence. The legacy of the 1933 Banking Act lives on every time someone deposits a paycheck without worrying if their bank will still be open next week.President Donald Trump has ordered a major escalation in deportation operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), targeting the largest U.S. cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. The initiative, described by Trump as the "single largest Mass Deportation Program in History," comes amid widespread protests and legal opposition. Trump framed the policy as necessary to remove "millions" of undocumented migrants but also pledged to soften its impact on sectors like agriculture and hospitality, which rely heavily on immigrant labor.ICE is now arresting roughly 2,000 undocumented individuals daily, a significant increase from the Biden administration's rates. Trump aide Stephen Miller has pushed for even higher daily arrests, aiming for 3,000. This surge coincides with a drop in the number of foreign workers, contributing to an overall labor force decline.In response to protests—particularly in Los Angeles—Trump deployed National Guard troops and up to 700 active-duty Marines to secure federal property, sparking backlash from local leaders. California Governor Gavin Newsom has sued the administration, challenging the legality of the troop deployment. A federal appeals court is currently reviewing a lower court's restriction on the National Guard's use.Trump Orders ICE to Expand Deportations in Largest US CitiesSenate Republicans are preparing to unveil their draft of President Trump's sweeping $3 trillion economic package, aiming for passage by Independence Day. But one key detail remains conspicuously unresolved: the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap.The draft, expected Monday, reflects weeks of intraparty negotiation. Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo has been trying to thread the needle between budget hawks, business-friendly Republicans, and clean energy holdouts. While the bill includes permanent extensions of key Trump-era business tax cuts—like R&D deductions, interest expensing, and full depreciation—the SALT cap remains a political landmine.The House version, passed earlier this year, raised the SALT cap to $40,000 in a bid to placate Republicans from high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, and California. Senate GOP leaders, by contrast, are floating either retaining the $10,000 cap or leaving it blank for now. Majority Leader John Thune admitted there's little appetite among senators from low-tax states to raise it.The SALT cap is more than a tax policy footnote—it's a litmus test for how seriously Republicans take their own rhetoric on fiscal responsibility. Repealing or expanding the cap would disproportionately benefit wealthy households in blue states while blowing a hole in federal revenues. It's a strange hill for a so-called “populist” party to die on.House Speaker Mike Johnson is pressuring the Senate to keep the $40,000 cap, warning that anything less could tank the bill in the House. It's a delicate dance between appeasing suburban Republicans and not torching whatever remains of fiscal conservatism.Meanwhile, energy companies are watching closely to see how the bill handles the phase-out of clean energy credits. Foreign investors are lobbying against the "Section 899 revenge tax," and Medicaid work requirements face their own internal friction. States may not be ready to implement them, and pushback is mounting over penalizing low-income parents.Senate to Unveil Trump Tax Bill Draft With SALT Fight UnresolvedA federal judge in Boston is weighing whether to block President Trump's latest move to bar foreign nationals from studying at Harvard University, as part of a broader legal fight over immigration, education, and executive power.The administration's proclamation—signed earlier this month—cites national security concerns and temporarily suspends the entry of international students bound for Harvard. It also directs the State Department to consider revoking visas for those already enrolled. The measure follows Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's earlier attempt to strip Harvard's certification to host international students, which the court temporarily blocked.Harvard, which counts nearly 6,800 international students (about 27% of its student body), argues that the Trump administration is engaging in unconstitutional retaliation. The university claims it's being punished for resisting White House efforts to control its governance, curriculum, and ideological direction—an alleged violation of First Amendment protections.Trump's proclamation, and the broader freeze on $2.5 billion in Harvard funding, mark an unprecedented federal offensive against the country's oldest and wealthiest university. Harvard is now seeking a broad injunction to protect its ability to host foreign students while its lawsuits proceed.The Justice Department, for its part, is asking the court to treat Trump's proclamation separately from Noem's earlier actions, arguing it rests on different legal grounds and doesn't expel current students—at least not yet.The outcome of today's hearing could have profound implications, not just for Harvard, but for how far a sitting president can go in leveraging immigration law to reshape higher education.Harvard to urge judge to bar Trump from closing doors for international students | Reuters This is a public episode.

We launch our new series "Bagay-Bagay: Objects of Philippine Life" on Independence Day with the most fitting symbol of all: our national flag. Join us as we trace the flag's storied journey from revolutionary banners to a flag sewn by three women in Hong Kong exile, unfurled at independence, banned for twelve years, and restored as our national symbol. We uncover forgotten stories and secrets behind the sun's eight rays, the meaning of the triangle's symbolism, and why the "correct" shade of blue sparked political debates spanning decades.

Waylon discusses difficult (or not) relationships, the need for respectful honesty (with ourselves, and our loved ones), and the good news that challenging relationships can change, such as his with his own father. " I think a lot of us have difficulty with our mothers or our fathers or our country—whatever it is. So when there's a day celebrating them such as Father's Day, Mother's Day, Independence Day—we're conflicted. And I think it's good, as with funerals and eulogies, to be honest and critical, and respectful in our criticism, and, loving—all of it. I love the Irish wakes: say everything—be joyful, mourn, fully, feel it all, show it all. Be fully honest, but respectful and loving about it, and be bold enough to be critical. Most folks frankly don't share that view. But I think when we have that view, we're full-hearted in what we say. And we can honor that people grow..." ~ Waylon H. Lewis
