Decarbonisation is triggering a new great-power race. As demand for green technologies and sustainable power sources grows, Washington and Beijing are battling for control of cobalt, lithium, copper, and nickel - the critical metals that will determine who lands on top of the global energy transition. In this episode, Nicolas Niarchos joins host Atossa Araxia Abrahamian to discuss The Elements of Power, a sweeping investigation into the war for the global supply of battery metals. From the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Indonesia and beyond, Niarchos uncovers a world shaped by rapacious colonial legacies, Cold War maneuvering, corporate rivalry, and dazzling technological innovation.  Niarchos argues that as wealthy nations push to electrify their economies, the human and environmental costs are pushed out of sight - onto miners working by hand, polluted communities, and territories still treated as expendable.

This week we talk about Trump's tariffs, the Supreme Court, and negotiating leverage.We also discuss trade wars, Greenland, and the IEEPA.Recommended Book: Smoke and Ashes by Amitav GhoshTranscriptI've spoken on this show before about tariffs and about US President Trump's enthusiasm for tariffs as an underpinning of his trade policy. Last October, back in 2025 I did an episode on tariff leverage and why the concept of an ongoing trade war is so appealing to Trump—it basically gives him a large whammy on anyone he enters negotiations with, because the US market is massive and everyone wants access to it, and tariffs allow him to bring the hammer down on anyone he doesn't like, or who doesn't kowtow in what he deems to be an appropriate manner.So he can slap a large tariff on steel or pharmaceuticals or cars from whichever country he likes just before he enters negotiations with that country, and then those negotiations open with him in an advantageous spot: they have to give him things just to get those tariffs to go away—they have to negotiate just to get things back to square one.That's how it's supposed to work, anyway. What we talked about a bit back in October is TACO theory, TACO standing for Trump Always Chickens Out—the idea is that other world leaders had gotten wise to Trump's strategy, which hasn't changed since his first administration, and he has mostly been a doubling-down on that one, primary approach, to the point that they can step into these negotiations, come up with something to give him that allows him to claim that he's won, to make it look like he negotiated well, and then they get things back down to a more reasonable level; maybe not square one, but not anything world-ending, and not anything they weren't prepared and happy to give up.In some cases, though, instead of kowtowing in this way so that Trump can claim a victory, whether or not a victory was actually tallied, some countries and industries and the businesses that make up those industries have simply packed up their ball and gone home.China has long served as a counterbalance to the US in terms of being a desirable market and a hugely influential player across basically every aspect of geopolitics and the global economy, and this oppositional, antagonistic approach to trade has made the US less appealing as a trade partner, and China more appealing in comparison.So some of these entities have negotiated to a level where they could still ship their stuff to the US and US citizens would still be willing to pay what amounts to an extra tax on all these goods, because that's how tariffs work, that fee is paid by the consumers, not by the businesses or the origin countries, but others have given up and redirected their goods to other places. And while that's a big lift sometimes, the persistence of this aggression and antagonism has made it a worthwhile investment for many of these entities, because the US has become so unpredictable and unreliable that it's just not worth the headache anymore.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent Supreme Court decision related to Trump's tariffs, and what looks likely to happen next, in the wake of that ruling.—Ever since Trump stepped back into office for his second term, in January of 2025, he has aggressively instilled new and ever-growing tariffs on basically everyone, but on some of the US's most important trade partners, like Mexico and Canada, in particular.These tariffs have varied and compounded, and they've applied to strategic goods that many US presidents have tried to hobble in various ways, favoring US-made versions of steel and microchips, for instance, so that local makers of these things have an advantage over their foreign-made alternatives, or have a more balanced shot against alternatives made in parts of the world where labor is cheaper and standards are different.But this new wave of tariffs were broad based, hitting everyone to some degree, and that pain was often taken away, at least a little, after leaders kowtowed, at times even giving him literal gold-plated gifts in order to curry favor, and/or funneling money into his family's private companies and other interests, allowing him to use these tariffs as leverage for personal gain, not just national advantage, in other cases giving him what at least looked outwardly to be a negotiating win.Things spiraled pretty quickly by mid-2025, when China pushed back against these tariffs, adding their own reciprocal tariffs on US goods, and at one point extra duties on Chinese imports coming into the US hit 145%.Shortly thereafter, though, and here we see that TACO acronym proving true, once again, Trump agreed to slash these tariffs for 90 days, and around the same time, in May of 2025, a federal appeals court temporarily reinstated some of Trump's largest-scale tariffs after a lower court ruled that they couldn't persist.The remainder of 2025 was a story of Trump trying to strike individual deals with a bunch of trade partners, like South Korea, Indonesia, and India, in some cases via direct negotiation, in others with a bunch of threats that eventually led to a sort of mutual standoff that no one was particularly happy about.2026 was greeted with a threat by Trump to impose a huge wave of new tariffs on eight major European allies, those tariffs sticking around until these nations agreed to allow the US to buy Greenland, which was an obsession of Trump's at that point, but a lot of Trump's tariff posturing was derailed by a Supreme Court decision that landed in mid-February, in which the justices decided, 6 to 3, that Trump's reciprocal tariffs are unconstitutional, as setting and changing tariffs is a Congressional power, not a Presidential one.This was a serious blow to Trump and his stated policies, as pretty much all of his economic plans oriented around the idea—which most economists have said is bunk and based on fantasy, not reality, but still—that putting a bunch of tariffs on everything will allow the US to earn so much additional revenue that the deficit can be paid down.It's worth noting here that, just as those economists predicted, the deficit has only gotten larger under both Trump administrations, and in fact the growth of the US debt has sped up, not declined, despite the additional billions being pulled into government coffers by these tariffs, because the Trump administration's spending is massive, and because the losses related to tariffs are also significant. But tariffs remain center to his policy nonetheless, so this was a major blow.This ruling also seemed likely to defang a lot of Trump's threats and drain his leverage at the negotiating table, as he could no longer threaten everyone with more tariffs, practically booting them from or weakening them on the US market.So Trump was pissed, and as he tends to do, he publicly raged about the decision, which was made by a Supreme Court that is heavily stacked in his favor; which gives an indication of just how unpopular and unconstitutional all of this has been.But immediately after that decision landed, he announced that, using alternative authorities—different powers—he would be imposing a blanket 10% tariff on everything coming into the US, and the following day announced that it would be a 15% tariff on everything, instead.This does seem to be something Trump has the power to do, but he can only do it under the auspices of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA, and these tariffs will only last for 150 days, max, and might also be challenged in court.Also notably, some entities, like Britain and Australia, will face higher rates than they faced under the previous tariff setup, because of how they are applied and compound with other trade barriers, or the nature of what they export to the US market, while others, including China, will see their tariffs substantially drop.Which could make things tricky, as that implies some of the previously negotiated deals have changed post-deal, or in some cases mid-negotiation; which means a lot more work to get things where everyone wants them, but also a loss of legitimacy and credibility for this administration, as they seem to be negotiating using powers they don't actually have and making promises they can't keep.All of which, rather than simplifying and clarifying things for the US market and our international trade partners, actually further complicates them, at least for now, until the dust settles.It does seem likely Trump's administration will continue to try to leverage whatever power they can in this matter, grabbing at levers that haven't been previously used, or used in this way, and those attempts will almost certainly be legally challenged, which could lead to more court cases, and a lot more uncertainty in the meantime, until those cases are figured it.It's also created new rifts within the Republican party, as Trump seems to be going after those who voted against his tariffs, or in any other way supported their removal, and he's raged against the Supreme Court justices, even those he put into place and who are ideologically aligned with the Republican party almost always, which could also lead to more fracturing within his base, leading up to the November 2026 Congressional elections.One more thing that's worth noting here is that Trump's usual tactic of trying to distract from things he doesn't want people to pay attention to is in full operation following this court case: as all this has been happening, and against the backdrop of increasingly serious allegations related to his abundant presence in the Epstein files, he's been talking more about potentially attacking Iran and releasing files on aliens, on extraterrestrials on Earth and in the US.So we're likely to see a lot more of that sort of thing in the coming months, especially if things continue to not go his way in regards to these tariffs and the hubbub surrounding them, but this story will shape global and US economics for years to come, not to mention on-the-ground realities for many people today, which should substantially impact Trump's popularity and voter behavior come November.Show Noteshttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/supreme-court-trump-energy-tariffshttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/trump-tariff-plan-section-122-trade-acthttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/trump-scotus-tariff-refund-battlehttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/business/economy/trump-tariffs-trade-war.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/business/trump-tariffs-japan-indonesia.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/us/politics/supreme-court-trump-tariffs-takeaways.htmlhttps://apnews.com/live/supreme-court-tariff-ruling-updateshttps://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0l9r67drg7thttps://heatmap.news/economy/clean-energy-tariff-rulinghttps://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02/20/us/trump-tariffs-supreme-courthttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/supreme-court-blocks-trumps-emergency-tariffs-billions-in-refunds-may-be-owed/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/20/what-will-happen-to-trump-tariffs-after-supreme-court-verdicthttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/business/economy/tariffs-supreme-court-global-busines-reaction.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/business/trump-deminimis-loophole-closed.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-am-5b34aa80-2020-453a-bef1-8cf648e9b3c3.htmlhttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/20/trump-tariff-plan-section-122-trade-acthttps://www.scotusblog.com/2026/02/supreme-court-strikes-down-tariffs/https://www.wsj.com/opinion/donald-trump-supreme-court-tariffs-ieepa-john-roberts-brett-kavanaugh-90daf559https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1287_4gcj.pdfhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/us/politics/supreme-court-tariffs-conservatives.htmlhttps://www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-manufacturing-is-in-retreat-and-trumps-tariffs-arent-helping-d2af4316https://budgetlab.yale.edu/research/state-us-tariffs-scotus-ruling-updatehttps://www.kielinstitut.de/fileadmin/Dateiverwaltung/IfW-Publications/fis-import/92fb3f30-07b8-4dcf-b2bc-fbefb831f1a1-KPB201_EN.pdfhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/02/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-imposes-a-temporary-import-duty-to-address-fundamental-international-payment-problems/https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/tariff-refunds-supreme-court-trump-rcna259968https://www.wsj.com/opinion/its-the-end-of-the-beginning-of-the-tariff-war-88a08d37https://www.axios.com/2026/02/21/trump-tariff-supreme-court-increasehttps://www.axios.com/2026/02/21/alien-files-conspiracy-theories-usa This is a public episode.

El 26 de diciembre de 2004, hubo un terremoto en Sumatra que generó un tsunami, olas gigantes que golpearon fuertísimo las costas de 14 países del sudeste asiático, causando destrucciones catastróficas y hasta 220000 muertes. Nuestro invitado de hoy se encontraba en Indonesia, de luna de miel con su mujer, Mora, y hoy nos cuenta cómo hizo para sobrevivir. Conversamos también acerca de los tsunamis que a veces atravesamos en la vida, la presencia misteriosa de Dios en ellos, de las redes de contención que nos ayudan a atravesarlos y de la importancia de ser contención para otros. Pablo García Oliver nació en 1970 en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Es arquitecto (UBA) y trabaja en su propio estudio de arquitectura (Gop Arquitectos) hace muchos años. Está casado, tiene cuatro hijos y ha escrito un libro acerca de suexperiencia con el Tsunami, al que tituló Demorando la llegada.“No tengo plata ni oro, pero te doy lo que tengo”: un espacio donde encontrarnos con el que verdaderamente nos llena, para que nos tome de la mano, nos levante y nos ponga en camino nuevamente.

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go.

This is the full show for February 20, 2026. 0:30 Today, we reflect on the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson — civil rights leader, founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, two-time presidential candidate, and a man who undeniably shaped America’s political and cultural conversation for decades. But the debate today isn’t about whether he mattered. It’s about whether he meets the historic threshold for one of the nation’s highest ceremonial honors: lying in honor in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. After Mike Johnson declined a request to grant that distinction, critics cried partisanship. We slow the conversation down and ask a deeper question: What is the standard? The Rotunda is reserved for figures deemed central to the constitutional story of the United States — a rare honor previously extended to individuals such as Rosa Parks, Billy Graham, and even Pierre Charles L'Enfant. So where is the line between influence and national consensus? Between impact and constitutional significance? We discuss Jackson’s contributions, his controversies, and the broader principle at stake: preserving the Rotunda as sacred civic space — not a stage for popularity or partisanship. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US Supreme Court struck down President Trump's use of Tariffs without congressional authorization. The United States and Indonesia finalized a bilateral trade agreement today that will lower tariffs between the two countries to 19%. Jesse Jackson's body will not lie in state under the Capital Rotunda.Jackson's family had requested that his body be allowed to lie in state, but that request was denied by Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. 12:30 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 The Supreme Court of the United States handed down a 6–3 decision striking down President Donald Trump’s tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Court made clear: that particular statute can’t be used as the vehicle for those tariffs. But that didn’t end the story. Within hours, the administration pivoted — announcing a new 10% tariff under the Trade Act of 1974, a separate law that explicitly grants the president temporary tariff authority. In fact, even members of the Court noted there are other statutory paths available. So what are we witnessing — constitutional chaos or constitutional chess? 16:00 We got a question for the American Mamas: “I’m so glad I grew up in the ’80s. How can you keep up with all the trends today?” It sparks a lively (and hilarious) walk down memory lane as Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson join us to compare the universal “just knew it” culture of the 1980s with today’s lightning-fast, social-media-driven world. From slang that changes overnight to the pressure of documenting everything online, we explore how growing up before smartphones may have been a hidden blessing. The conversation turns to modern milestones — over-the-top weddings, pricey bachelorette trips, elaborate gender reveals — and how platforms like TikTok and Twitter have transformed private celebrations into public productions. What used to be punch, mints, and a phone call has become curated content and camera-ready moments. It’s a funny, relatable look at generational shifts, cultural pressure, and why some of us are grateful our most embarrassing moments weren’t captured in 4K. Got a question for the American Mamas? Visit americangroundradio.com/mamas and click “Ask the Mamas.” 23:00 President Donald Trump has directed the Secretary of Defense and other agencies to begin identifying and releasing government files related to UFOs, unidentified aerial phenomena, and any potential information connected to extraterrestrial life. Laugh if you want — but for years, trained Navy and Air Force pilots have reported aerial objects performing maneuvers that appear to defy conventional aerodynamics. These aren’t backyard videos or internet hoaxes. They’re encounters documented by military aviators asking a serious question: what exactly are we seeing? We explore the long shadow of Area 51, Cold War-era secrecy, and how government disinformation about experimental aircraft may have fueled decades of alien speculation. We also separate fact from fiction when it comes to so-called “chemtrails” versus ordinary condensation trails — and why conspiracy theories persist. 26:00 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis traveled to Kentucky this week with a bold message: Congress won’t fix itself — and it’s time for the states to step in. Testifying before Kentucky lawmakers, DeSantis urged them to support an Article V constitutional convention aimed at passing a Balanced Budget Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. With the national debt approaching $40 trillion, he argued that without permanent structural changes, Washington’s “muscle memory” of spending and compromise will continue — no matter which party is in power. We Dig Deep into break down how an Article V convention works, why 34 states are required to trigger it, and where the effort currently stands. Twenty states have already signed on — mostly Republican-led — but even if every remaining red state joined, supporters would still need buy-in from purple or Democrat-led legislatures. 32:00 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 A social media post from Congressman Randy Fine has gone viral — and sparked a firestorm. Fine responded to comments tied to New York political circles suggesting restrictions on dogs in public housing, referencing concerns rooted in Islamic views that consider dogs unclean. Fine pushed back bluntly, arguing that if Americans were ever forced to choose between their pets and accommodating religious restrictions, it wouldn’t be a difficult decision. Critics immediately labeled the remarks Islamophobic. Supporters say the point wasn’t about religion — it was about culture, assimilation, and whether American traditions should bend to accommodate beliefs that conflict with everyday life in the U.S. In this segment, we unpack the controversy, the statistics behind America’s deep attachment to pets — including service and therapy dogs — and the broader debate over cultural expectations in a free society. We also discuss Fine’s proposed “Protecting Puppies from Sharia Act” and what it symbolizes in the larger conversation about immigration, religious freedom, and preserving American norms. 35:30 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From cowboys and Gavin Newsom's dyslexia, to the airport being named after President Trump can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 39:30 We talk about Supreme Court’s 6–3 ruling on presidential tariff authority and what it means for the balance of power in Washington. When former Vice President Mike Pence praised the decision as a win for the Constitution, was it a straightforward defense of separation of powers—or a subtle jab at Donald Trump? And we end today's show with the powerful Olympic story of Alysa Liu—an American gold medal victory with international intrigue and a reminder of the opportunities and freedoms that define the American dream.

Bahlil Lahadalia tumbuh di lingkungan yang miskin. Ia dibesarkan dalam keluarga sederhana, jauh dari privilese. Busung lapar pernah menjadi bagian dari cerita hidupnya. Ia pernah berjualan koran, menjadi sopir angkot—pekerjaan-pekerjaan yang oleh sebagian orang dianggap sebagai batas akhir dari sebuah takdir. Namun, semua dilakukannya tanpa pernah berhenti belajar, dan berkat semangat pantang mundur serta anti-baper yang dimilikinya, Bahlil kini jadi rujukan bagi status: politisi jenius Indonesia.

Yesaya 55: 10-11; Mazmur tg 34: 4-5.6-7.16-17.18-19; Matthew 6: 7-15.BUAH BERLIMPAH DARIFIRMAN TUHAN Tema renungan kita pada hari ini ialah: Buah BerlimpahDari Firman Tuhan. Karya Allah untuk menyelamatkan manusia dari dosa memuncakpada kehadiran Putra Allah menjadi manusia di dalam Yesus Kristus. Karya nyataIlahi ini menjadi tema besar untuk direnungkan terus-menerus di dalam hatisetiap orang beriman, dan khususnya semakin kuat di dalam masa Pra Paskah.  Ini untuk memperkuat iman kita akan peristiwa YesusKristus yang kita rayakan pada hari Paskah. Kita yang merayakan Paskah, yangdipersiapkan melalui Pra Paskah, mengalami suatu keistimewaan denganberpartisipasi dalam peristiwa Kristus. Yesus senantiasa menegaskan prinsippengorbanan diri-Nya yaitu demi melakukan kehendak Bapa sampai tuntas di duniaini. Pengorbanan itu menandakan betapa setiap dari kita bukan sekedar umat ataupengikut-pengikut-Nya, tetapi sebagai saudara-saudari-Nya sendiri. Ia sendiri berkatabahwa cinta yang paling besar ialah pengorbanan diri seseorang demi kebaikandan keselamatan saudara-saudarinya.  Kita sebagai anak-anak Allah melalui sakramen pembaptisandan juga menjadi putra-putri-Nya terkasih memiliki martabat istimewa yaitu satupersaudaraan dengan Yesus Kristus. Bersama dia, kita menyapa Allah di surgasebagai Bapa yang menjadi milik bersama. Semua pengikut Kristus mempertegaspersaudaraannya dengan Yesus, martabatnya sebagai putra-putri Allah, dan dalammemperlakukan Allah sebagai seorang Bapa. Ungkapan hubungan yang intim ini kitadoakan senantiasa di dalam doa “Bapa Kami”. Di dalam masa Pra Paskah, tentu kita berdoa “Bapa Kami”dengan kualitas iman yang terbaik, sebagai salah satu bentuk disiplin dalampraktik kesalehan kita. Doa ini menegaskan persaudaraan kita dengan Kristus,ketika bersama dengan Dia kita menyapa Allah sebagai “Bapa kami”. Sekian banyakdoa ini kita ucapkan dalam satu hari menandakan kalau Bapa yang satu di dalamsurga membuahkan karunia-Nya di dalam diri kita semua yang tetap dekat denganDia, karena persekutuan kita dengan Yesus Kristus. Kelimpahan buah di dalam diri kita tetap dijamin olehkarunia firman Allah yang hadir untuk menerangi, menguatkan, dan membaharuihidup setiap orang beriman. Yesus tidak hadir lagi dalam tubuh-Nya saat ini,tetapi di dalam firman-Nya. Melalui firman itu, kita masing-masing bertumbuhdan berbuah, khususnya dalam bentuk doa-doa yang menyatukan kita dengan Bapa disurga. Doa mengungkapkan apa yang kita lakukan dalam berpuasa, sepertimengampuni dan menahan diri tidak jatuh ke dalam pencobaan. Melalui doa pula kitaungkapkan niat untuk berbuat baik kepada sesama. Marilah kita berdoa. Dalam nama Bapa... Bapa maha baik,utuslah Roh-Mu untuk membantu kami berdoa seperti Yesus Kristus. Kemuliaan...Dalam nama Bapa...

Delivered by Ria from the Parish of Good Shepherd in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Isaiah 55: 10-11; Rs psalm 34: 4-5.6-7.16-17.18-19; Matthew 6: 7-15.ABUNDANT FRUITS FROMTHE WORD OF GOD  The title for ourmeditation today is: Abundant Fruits from the Word of God. God's work to savemankind from sins culminates in the presence of the Son of God becoming man in Jesus Christ. This divine work is a majortheme to be pondered in the heart of every believer, and especially to be moreeffective during Lent. This is to strengthenour faith in the events of Jesus Christ that we celebrate during the Holy Week.We who celebrate Easter, preparing ourselves during Lent, experience aprivilege closeness with the Lord by participating in the events of Christ.Jesus always emphasizes the principle of self-sacrifice that is to do the willof the Father to be realized in this world. That sacrifice signifies how eachof us is not just His people or His followers, but also His own brothers andsisters. He himself says that the greatest love is menifested in the sacrificeof oneself for the goodness and salvation of his or her brothers and sisters. We as children of Godthrough the sacrament of baptism that raises us to become His beloved sons anddaughters, have a special dignity of one brotherhood with Jesus Christ. Withhim, we call God in heaven as our common and beloved Father. All followers ofChrist affirm and embrace their brotherhood with Jesus, their dignity as sonsand daughters of God, and their personal and filial relationship with God asthe Father. The expression of this intimate relationship is manifested in theprayer of "Our Father". In Lent, of course wepray "Our Father" with the best quality of faith, as one form ofdiscipline in our Christian piety. This prayer confirms our brotherhood withChrist, and together with Him we greet God as "our Father". We saythis prayer many times every day because we want to strengthen our fidelity tothe One Father in heaven, who endows His gifts upon each one of us that make usremain close to Him. This happens in this way because of our communion withJesus Christ. The abundance offruits in us remain certain through the gift of God's word which is present toenlighten, strengthen, and renew the life of every believer. Jesus is no longerpresent in His body, but in His word. Through that word, each of us grows and bearsfruit, especially in the form of prayers that unite us with our Father inheaven. Prayer reveals what we do in fasting, such as forgiving and refrainingfrom falling into temptation. Through prayer we also express the intention todo good for our neighbors.Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Father of mercy, send your Spirit to help us and to accompany us to praylike Jesus Christ. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit... In the name of the Father ...

Today, they're one of the largest Christian populations in Indonesia, with over 6 million believers. The transformation happened because someone, a German missionary named Ludwig Nommensen, decided their spiritual poverty was unacceptable. That was 190 years ago. Today, 4,473 people groups are still waiting for their Ludwig Nommensen moment. The People Group Adoption Program launches today, and here's how it works: It meets you where you are. You're not being asked to become a missionary in the field (though if God calls you to that, we'll cheer you on). You're being invited to use your current gifts, prayer, advocacy, networking, research to support those who are already called to go.

The essays in Islamic Ecumene: Comparing Muslim Societies (Cornell UP, 2023) address the ways in which Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia and from sub-Saharan Africa to the steppes of Uzbekistan are members of a broad cultural unit. Although the Muslim inhabitants of these lands speak dozens of languages, represent numerous ethnic groups, and practice diverse forms of Islam, they are united by shared practices and worldviews shaped by religious identity. To highlight these commonalities, the co-editors invited a team of scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine Muslim societies in comparative and interconnected ways.  The result is a book that showcases ethics, education, architecture, the arts, modernization, political resistance, marriage, divorce, and death rituals. Using the insights and methods of historians, anthropologists, literary critics, art historians, political scientists, and sociologists, Islamic Ecumene seeks to understand Islamic identity as a dynamic phenomenon that is reflected in the multivalent practices of the more than one billion people across the planet who identify as Muslims.

Akala ng marami, kapag Muslim country — mahirap na para sa Christianity. Pero alam mo ba na sa bansang Indonesia, na may pinakamalaking Muslim population sa buong mundo, may steady at documented growth ang Catholic population sa ilang rehiyon? Sa video na ito, tatalakayin natin ang history kung paano dumating ang Katolikong pananampalataya sa Indonesia — mula sa early missions, colonial period, hanggang sa pagtatatag ng local Church hierarchy — at kung bakit may mga lugar doon na patuloy ang pagdami ng mga Katoliko ngayon. Paanong ang ilang kabataan sa Indonesia ay Muslim noon, Katoliko na ngayon? Pag-uusapan din natin ang mga key factors tulad ng Catholic education, charity and service institutions, personal relationships, inculturation, at sacramental life — at kung paano ito nakakaapekto sa faith growth kahit sa isang Muslim-majority nation. Clue: hindi dahil sa debate ng Katoliko vs Muslim. Kung gusto mo ng ganitong Catholic history + global faith growth content — panoorin hanggang dulo at sumali sa usapan sa comments. #Catholic #Indonesia #ChurchHistory #CatholicGrowth #Apologetics Bansang Muslim, DUMADAMI KATOLIKO Join Filipino podcaster and vlogger, Jay Aruga host of The Jay Aruga Show, the first conservative podcast and vlog in the Philippines.Jay Aruga's Book "Conservative Ka Ba?

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADOLESCENTES 2026“LA VUELTA AL MUNDO EN 365 DIAS”Narrado por: Mone MuñozDesde: Buenos Aires, ArgentinaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church23 de FebreroUna piscina de ensueño«VE A LAVARTE EN EL ESTANQUE DE SILOÉ» (JUAN 9:7),Soy un fan declarado de las piscinas. En mis viajes siempre me anima saber que puedo descubrir lugares increíbles para darme un chapuzón refrescante. ¿Quieres saber cuáles son las piscinas más bonitas del mundo?En Suiza hay un hotel cuya piscina aclimatada está al aire libre, rodeada de un inmenso paredón de picos nevados. Te quita el aliento, y no por el frío.En el Tíbet (prepárate!), en la ciudad de Lasa (a 3.657 metros de altura) hay un salón de baño con los azulejos revestidos de oro. Ese baño dorado es digno de la nobleza.Y en Swala, Tanzania, es posible nadar con la escenografía de la sabana africana. La diferencia es que todo es de verdad, incluso las jirafas que pasean las cebras que desfilan por ahí.Hay un hotel en Bali, Indonesia, que posee una piscina increíble cuyo borde. infinito se pierde en la selva de un valle cortado por ríos. Un enigmático clima tropical flota en el aire húmedo.En Tailandia hay una piscina que parece que salió de la primera plaga de Egipto. Es rojísima, pero no de sangre, sino de increíbles ladrillos rojizos. Algo muy diferente a lo que hayas visto alguna vez.¿Y en las Maldivas? Abre bien los ojos, porque de noche verás una piscina de lujo que está revestida con más de mil luces LED fluorescentes. Literalmente, tienes la sensación de estar nadando en las estrellas.Debo decir, sin embargo, que ninguna de estas piscinas paradisíacas se compara con el estanque de Siloé. Un mendigo ciego de nacimiento que se lavó los ojos en esas aguas ordinarias provocó todo un revuelo en Jerusalén. El hombre se refregó los ojos y vio su rostro reflejado en el agua por primera vez. Sus gritos se escucharon desde lejos, y eso enojó tanto a los fariseos que encontraron la manera de expulsar al exciego de la sociedad. Pero él se volvió a encontrar con Jesús al final del día y vio por primera vez al hombre-Dios más extraordinario del universo.¡Claro! Ni el oro ni las luces LED son capaces de convertir una piscina cualquiera en un recipiente del poder milagroso de Dios. Solo Cristo pudo y podrá hacer eso en tu vida. Jesús murió en una cruz para darnos vida eterna. Y eso no se compara a ninguna piscina digna de tarjeta postal que pueda haber en este mundo.¿Ya oraste para pedirle al Señor que haga un milagro en tu vida hoy? Él convertirá un estanque común en una piscina infinita. Y nadar solo será un detalle menor en medio de tanta bendición. ¿Estás preparado?

Pemerintah memastikan bahwa perjanjian dagang antara Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat tetap berproses sesuai mekanisme yang telah disepakati, meskipun terdapat putusan terbaru dari Mahkamah Agung Amerika Serikat terkait kebijakan tarif Trump. Sebelumnya Presiden Republik Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, dan Presiden Amerika Serikat, Donald Trump, telah menandatangani kesepakatan perjanjian kerjasama perdagangan dengan tarif sebesar 19 persen. Sedangkan produk-produk asal AS menurut Trump, tidak akan dikenakan tarif apapun atau nol persen saat masuk ke Indonesia. Putusan ini menuai kontroversi di dalam negeri. Bagaimana mencermati hal ini dan apakah putusan Mahkamah Agung AS yang membatalkan kebijakan tarif resiprokal Trump, menguntungkan Indonesia? Talk bersama Ekonom Universitas Paramadina, Wijayanto Samirin.

Pemerintah Indonesia menegaskan komitmennya untuk berkontribusi aktif dalam menjaga stabilitas dan perdamaian global melalui pengiriman pasukan penjaga perdamaian dalam kerangka International Stabilization Force (ISF). Indonesia bahkan dipercaya menduduki posisi strategis sebagai Wakil Komandan (Deputy Commander) ISF, dengan kesiapan sekitar 8.000 personel yang akan bertugas sesuai pembagian wilayah operasi yang diproyeksikan.Langkah ini menimbulkan pertanyaan penting: apakah pengiriman pasukan ini murni misi kemanusiaan, atau sekaligus menjadi upaya memperkuat reputasi, profesionalisme, dan rekam jejak militer Indonesia di panggung internasional?Dibahas secara mendalam bersama Khairul Fahmi, Co-Founder Institute for Security and Strategic Studies (ISESS), mengulas dimensi geopolitik, kepentingan strategis nasional, serta posisi Indonesia dalam dinamika keamanan global.

Indonesia menatap tahun 2045 sebagai momentum satu abad kemerdekaan sekaligus tonggak Indonesia Emas. Targetnya tidak main-main: menjadi negara maju, berpendapatan per kapita sekitar 33 ribu dolar AS, serta masuk lima besar ekonomi dunia.Namun, ambisi besar ini menuntut langkah nyata. Penguasaan inovasi sains dan teknologi, yang berpadu dengan penerapan Ekonomi Pancasila, dinilai menjadi kunci utama agar Indonesia mampu keluar dari jebakan negara berpendapatan menengah. Pertanyaannya, langkah paling mendesak apa yang harus dilakukan agar pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional bisa konsisten di atas 7 persen per tahun?Dibahas mendalam dalam talk bersama Anggota DPR RI, Rokhmin Dahuri, mengulas strategi, tantangan, dan arah kebijakan yang perlu ditempuh Indonesia untuk benar-benar mewujudkan Indonesia Emas 2045.

Delivered by Everine from the Parish of Saint Theresia in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Leviticus 19: 1-2.11-18; Rs psalm 19: 8.9.10.15; Matthew 25: 31-46.LENTEN LAMBS AND GOATS Our meditation today isentitled: Lenten Lambs and Goats. There was one WhatsApp message shared throughdifferent groups and then forwarded by individuals, that  says: Every year we fast, pray fervently anddo charity during Lent, but the results have not  been good. One time we become good persons, atother times we become bad persons. Today we choose blessings, tomorrow we canturn to curses. Forgiveness and repentance occur at the time of confession, butafter that we return to sin. We seem to struggle with difficulty to becomeperfect people. We know andunderstand all the prohibitions established by God, and Moses delivered them toGod's people that they needed to heed the ten commandments of God, as stated inthe Book of Leviticus in the first reading. They must be as holy as God who isholy. They were prohibited to stealing, lie, perjury, take people's property, bejealous, hate, be angry and so on. All this is summed up to one main law whichis to love our neighbors as we for ourselves. So in this Lent, the followersof Christ are appropriately portrayed as individuals who do their best to loveothers, but are no exception being sinners for not loving others sincerely. Forexample someone does charity so diligently in collecting donations for thosewho really need helps of clothing, food, and shelter, but he is also mostlyknown as a backbiting and the one who likes to spread hoax. This is an example aboutus who do Lenten observances are not pure and holy persons. Some aspects of ourselvesare good and holy, but other aspects are not. Jesus Christ indeed comparesthose on the right side are sheeps with great charity, but if we want to behonest we have not reached yet perfection being that way. Those on the leftside are goats with a great negligence in charity, but they are also notcompletely evil in that way. It is possible thatalmost all of us in Lent are half sheeps and half goats. We are the"sheeps and goats" type in this Lent. If we are already pure and holypeople, obviously we don't need Lent. More precisely, we go directly tocelebrate the holy week in order to become one with the dead and risen Christ.But it is apparently not the case. Actually, not only Lent but also every timeon this earth, our lives are like "sheeps and goats" type, thereforewe must be faithful to God and obtain His mercy. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Jesus Christ, be our master and guide in our lives. May your love ruleover our hearts so that we can only serve you for the rest of our lives. HailMary, full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

Dibawakan oleh Hendrina Linong dan Germans Uran dari Paroki Santo Damian Bengkong, Batam, di Keuskupan Pangkal Pinang, Indonesia. Imamat 19: 1-2.11-18; Mazmur tg 19: 8.9.10.15; Matius 25: 31-46.DOMBA DANKAMBING PRAPASKAH Renungan kita pada hari ini bertema: Domba dan Kambing PraPaskah. Ada satu pesan whatsapp yang tersebar melalui grup-grup dan diteruskanorang-perorangan, katanya: Setiap tahun kita menekuni berpuasa, berdoa danberamal, namun hasilnya tidak cukup maksimal. Suatu saat kita menjadi orangbaik, di waktu lain menjadi orang jahat. Hari ini kita memilih berkat, besokbisa berubah menjadi kutuk. Pengampunan dan pertobatan terjadi pada saat pengakuandosa, tetapi setelah itu kita kembali berbuat dosa. Kita sepertinya berjuangdengan susah payah untuk menjadi orang-orang yang sempurna. Kita tahu dan mengerti semua larangan yang ditetapkan olehAllah supaya Musa menyampaikan itu kepada umat Allah untuk mengindahkan sepuluhperintah Allah, seperti yang diwartakan kitab Imamat dalam bacaan pertama.Mereka harus kudus seperti Allah dengan tidak mencuri, berdusta, bersumpahpalsu, merampas milik orang, iri, benci, marah dan sebagainya. Semua inidirumuskan secara positif dengan satu hukum utama ialah mengasihi sesama kitaseperti diri kita sendiri. Jadi di dalam masa Pra Paskah ini, sosok orang-orangberiman pengikut Kristus pas untuk digambarkan sebagai pribadi-pribadi yangberusaha dan bertumbuh dalam mengasihi sesamanya, namun tak luput dariperbuatan-perbuatan jahat yang dilakukan. Misalnya seseorang berbuat amaldengan begitu tekun mengumpulkan sumbangan untuk orang-orang yang sangatmembutuhkan bantuan sandang, pangan, dan papan, namun ia juga terkenal  sebagai pemfitnah dan penyebar berita bohong. Ini adalah contoh kalau kita yang menjalankan Pra Paskahini bukan sebagai orang-orang suci dan murni. Sebagian hidup rohani kita memangbaik dan suci, namun sebagian lain tidak. Yesus Kristus memang mengumpamakanmereka yang di bagian kanan ialah domba-domba dengan amal kasihnya yang besar,namun jika mau jujur kita belum sampai sempurna seperti itu. Mereka yang disebelah kiri ialah kambing-kambing dengan kelalaian besar dalam beramal kasih,namun mereka juga tidak sepenuhnya jahat seperti itu. Bisa jadi hampir semua kita di dalam masa Pra Paskah iniadalah setengah domba dan setengah kambing. Kita adalah para “dombing” di dalammasa Pra Paskah ini. Jika kita memang sudah sebagai orang-orang suci dan murni,jelas kita tidak memerlukan masa Pra Paskah. Lebih tepatnya kita langsung sajamerayakan pekan suci supaya menyatu dengan Kristus yang mati dan bangkit.  Tapi ternyata tidak demikian. Sebenarnya,tidak hanya Pra Paskah tetapi juga setiap waktu di bumi ini, hidup kitabagaikan “dombing”, oleh karena itu kita harus setia kepada Tuhan danmendapatkan belas kasih kerahiman-Nya.Marilah kita berdoa. Dalam nama Bapa... Ya Yesus Kristus,jadilah Guru dan Pengatur hidup kami. Semoga kasih-Mu mengatur hati kamisehingga kami hanya dapat mengabdi kepada-Mu seumur hidup kami. Salam Maria,penuh rahmat ... Dalam nama Bapa ...

PART II ALREADY OUT ON PATREON! IT'S AD-FREE, AND THERE'S A TON OF OTHER GREAT PATREON PERKS, JOIN US THERE!Ash and Kristen begin their dive into the wildly controversial world of Graham Hancock and his hotly debated speculations. Along the way, they take approximately 700 Wikipedia detours through Gnosticism, Catharism, esoteric secret-knowledge clubs, and so much conspiracy-adjacent archaeology, religious relic lore, and Ice Age brain-melt timelines that Ash has to stop Kristen every 2-3 minutes to define something. So naturally, we had to make this a two-parter!In part one, the gals talk about Hancock's journey from respected journalist to alternative archaeologist who digs into controversial theories about lost ancient civilizations and literally everything else throughout time and space. They dig into his greatest hits: the Ark of the Covenant, the Knights Templar, pyramids/Sphinx “they're older than you think” chaos, the Face on Mars, and that whole “is this an ancient warning or just Virgin Mary on toast?” dilemma.STUFF TO CHEER YOU UP:Ash's list of "Comfort Shows" (and where to watch them for freeeee)Ash learned a dance and actually filmed it... aka Ash dancing alone in …her yard aka "How Ash Likes to Party" Behind the scenes of Ash struggling to make a simple dance video ft. her SPARKLY BOOTS!PODS TO KEEP YOU INFORMED:It Could Happen Here- It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: February 20, 2026 Length: ~18 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary “Tariff Friday” may go down as one of the most pivotal days in recent trade history. In this episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen breaks down the U.S. Supreme Court's 6–3 decision ruling that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. The Court found that the authority to levy taxes and tariffs belongs to Congress, and that the term “regulate” under IEEPA does not include the power to raise revenue. Inspired by Taylor Swift's Opalite, Cindy walks through what the ruling actually says, what it does not say, and what importers and customs brokers should do right now while awaiting further instruction from the Court of International Trade (CIT) and CBP. The decision may have brought sunlight—but operational clarity will take time. This Week in Trade (Before the Ruling) • Awaiting details on Taiwan 15% MFN (or higher) structure • Pending clarification on India IEEPA reciprocal adjustment (25% to 18%) • Indonesia agreement announced with 19% tariff and textile tariff-rate quota • No movement on elimination of First Sale • No further action on ending IEEPA on Canada • U.S. manufacturing indicators down; stock market up The Supreme Court Decision The Supreme Court issued a 6–3 opinion finding that IEEPA does not grant authority to impose tariffs. Key findings: • IEEPA contains nine enumerated action verbs — none include taxing or raising revenue • Congress alone holds the constitutional authority to levy tariffs • Specific delegated authorities (Sections 301, 232, 122, 338) include limitations and procedural controls • Because Congress created these specific tariff authorities, a broad IEEPA tariff authority cannot be implied • During peacetime, the President does not have independent tariff authority The Court remanded the case back to the lower court — likely the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) — which must now issue implementation instructions. What We Still Don't Know • When the CIT will issue instructions • When (or if) CBP will suspend IEEPA tariff collection • Whether refunds will be automatic or require action • Whether de minimis is affected • Whether related trade agreements tied to IEEPA remain intact • Whether the administration pivots to Section 122 or 338 authorities What Importers Should Do Right Now Cindy's recommendation is clear: Continue paying duties until formal CBP guidance is issued. Why? • Duties were in effect at time of entry • Monthly statement entries could otherwise be considered unpaid • CBP systems still contain IEEPA tariff numbers and edit checks • Programming updates will take time Stopping payment prematurely could create compliance risk. Refunds, when issued, will likely require formal action — potentially protests, post-summary corrections, or other ACE updates. Given the volume of entries involved, automatic refunds appear unlikely. Key Takeaways • IEEPA tariffs have been ruled unlawful for revenue purposes • Congress retains sole tariff authority • Operational changes will depend on CIT and CBP implementation • Continue paying duties until official guidance is issued • Refund mechanics remain unclear • Trade professionals must remain disciplined and patient Resources & Mentions • Global Training Center • TradeForce Multiplier • U.S. Supreme Court Opinion (24-1287) Credits Host: • Cindy Allen – LinkedIn • TradeForce Multiplier Producer: • Lalo Solorzano – LinkedIn Subscribe & Follow New episodes every Friday.

Episode #488: Veteran journalist and human rights advocate Chris Gunness describes Myanmar as “an extraordinarily fascinating country,” one that shaped both his early reporting career and his later work on international justice. Following events from London in the mid-1980s, he saw a nation marked by colonial legacies, ethnic fragmentation and civil war, yet so closed that major crises went unnoticed abroad. By 1986, Myanmar had become the center of his reporting as he tracked growing instability. In spite of his inexperience, he was sent undercover by the BBC to report from the country in the buildup to the 1988 uprising. Ordered to report openly, he filed news dispatches from a dilapidated Rangoon hotel. A day later, a hidden message from student leaders—coordinated by a prominent human rights lawyer—summoned him to a secret meeting. Blindfolded and taken to a safe house, he recorded interviews with organizers, a banker and a soldier. These tapes, smuggled out through diplomatic channels, were broadcast by the BBC on 6 August 1988. One interview inadvertently announced the precise moment protests would begin. At 8:08 a.m. on 8 August, millions marched across the country. The entire Burmese populace was informed ahead of time as a direct result of this reporting. Deported to Dhaka as a result, Gunness continued reporting, producing dispatches that became Myanmar's primary source of national information during the uprising. Though he rejects credit for sparking the movement—calling the Burmese people “the real heroes”—the experience taught him how shared information empowers political action. Gunness later founded the Myanmar Accountability Project (MAP), using universal jurisdiction to pursue legal cases against junta leaders in Turkey, the Philippines, Indonesia and Timor-Leste. He also challenges junta attempts to gain legitimacy abroad, including a current case in the UK. Despite deep skepticism toward international justice and the UN's failures in Myanmar, Gunness believes accountability efforts can preserve evidence, empower victims and reinforce the illegitimacy of military rule. Ultimately, however, he argues that Myanmar's hope rests with its people, whose resilience he describes as “the indomitability of the Burmese spirit.”

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. The US and Iran are set to hold indirect talks in Geneva today, with little indication of potential compromise as the United States continues its economic sanctions and ramps up its military presence in the Middle East while Iran holds large-scale maritime exercises. We hear what may be on the table as US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner hold negotiations with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Israel plans to afford Hamas a 60-day period to disarm, and if it does not, the Israeli military will go back to war in the Gaza Strip, according to Cabinet Secretary Yossi Fuchs on Monday. How does this align with the inaugural session of US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, which is set for this Thursday? We learn which countries may be joining and what is hoped to be accomplished. And finally, last Thursday, US President Donald Trump said that President Isaac Herzog “should be ashamed of himself” for not granting a pardon to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is standing trial for alleged fraud, bribery and breach of trust. Why were these remarks made out of the blue -- and do they actually help the Prime Minister? Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
