The Obama Presidential Center opens as a landmark tribute to the life, leadership, and legacy of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. Located on Chicago's South Side, the Center celebrates the power of democracy, public service, community, and hope. Through immersive exhibits, public spaces, a museum, library resources, and community programming, the Center invites visitors to reflect on history while inspiring the next generation of changemakers.

Barack Obama's entire political career was built on image. The logo, the posters the "citizen of the world" speeches. The “hope and change.” The global adoration, the fainting crowds and the messianic language from the media. The Nobel Peace Prize before he had done anything to earn it. The carefully produced cultural aura surrounding him was always bigger than the man himself. Now that image has been literally poured into concrete and granite, with the result looking exactly like what it always was: cold, controlled, menancing, towering, and spiritually empty.“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, in 2023, Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions was attached to Netflix's 'Leave The World Behind', the dystopian thriller directed by Sam Esmail in which America begins collapsing through cyberattack, communications failure, infrastructure breakdown, mass confusion, and psychological terror. Netflix identified Higher Ground as part of the project, and the film itself was sold as a story about a mysterious blackout and a nation coming apart under invisible forces. Now take that imagery and place it side by side with Obama's new Presidential Library in Chicago. On one side, you have Obama's Netflix-backed dystopian nightmare: America cut off, Americans confused, phones dead, media gone, planes falling, tankers crashing, trust evaporating, and citizens left to wonder who is really behind the collapse. The end of the movie reveals it to be the American government. On the other side, you have Obama's real-world presidential tower that is massive, dark, nearly windowless, and standing over Chicago like the headquarters of the people who would remain after the collapse was complete. The official story is “democracy,” “hope,” “community,” and “civic engagement.” But the visual story is something very different. The visual story is granite, height, surveillance-age design, digital archives, curated memory, political legacy, and a near-religious treatment of a man whose presidency accelerated America's transformation into the globalized, technocratic, identity-driven, post-Christian system we are watching harden all around us. It is literally a depiction of George Orwell's '1984'. The UK Guardian said "Towering over a low-income area of Chicago, and wrapped in a speech that's hard to decipher, this controversial monolith feels like a menacing sci-fi HQ. Is it a monument – or a mausoleum?"  That's a great question, and today we bring you all the news you need to know here on Day 2,270 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve!

After years of construction, almost a billion dollars in costs and controversy over the design, the Obama Presidential Library is set to open in just a few weeks' time in Chicago. Never to be outdone by his longtime Democratic rival, Donald Trump is also currently pushing ahead with his own library in Miami, setting up a battle of architectural vanity, legacy and fundraising capacity. But how has the Presidential Library System evolved over the years? Reporter Simon Tierney joined Pat to Explain.

In this episode, we break down the latest developments in U.S.–Iran tensions as President Trump pauses “Project Freedom” amid escalating conflict and growing pressure. With commentary from Marco Rubio and a deeper look into what “Project Freedom” actually means, we analyze whether this strategy is defensive or something more. We also cover Trump's press interaction on Iranian aggression, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and how past administrations handled similar threats. On the domestic front, we dive into viral campaign moments and political misfires, including Katie Porter's awkward ad, debate controversies over healthcare for illegal immigrants, and a fiery temperament meltdown clip. We also break down a controversial “Mamdani-style” campaign ad and what demographic shifts could mean for future elections.Additional segments include the Obama Presidential Library debate, Ilhan Omar's refusal to turn over documents, and reactions from major figures like Ken Griffin. We also touch on trending TikToks, influencer drama, and media personalities shifting their narratives.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!Take control of your data and keep your private life private by signing up for DeleteMe.

Two Medals of Honor Awarded. Dem's Spanberger Response Better Than Usual. Cuban Government Shoots 4 Americans on a Speedboat. Obama Legacy's Signature a Slam Dunk. The State of the Union is over — but the real story is what Trump didn't say. In Episode 449, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the longest SOTU in American history: two hours of pageantry, 103 standing ovations, and a president who gave 20 seconds to Ukraine on the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion while quietly beating the war drums on Iran. Paul cuts through the noise to find the moments that actually mattered — including a 100-year-old Korean War hero finally receiving his Medal of Honor, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer honored for saving 169 lives, and Army veteran George Redis, detained by ICE and then released without a phone call or a lawyer, sitting in the chamber as a living indictment of an out-of-control federal agency. While most Americans tuned out before 11 PM, Paul stayed locked in. He breaks down the Democratic response — led by Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer who delivered arguably the strongest opposition address in recent memory — and the organized Democratic boycott that sent dozens of members to a counter-programming event on the National Mall. He also zeroes in on the Epstein files, where Representative Thomas Massie is asking the question millions of Americans want answered: why are there still no arrests in the United States while resignations pile up worldwide? Then it's below the radar: breaking news out of Cuba, where the Cuban government shot four Americans aboard a Florida-based speedboat. Paul connects the dots — Trump's pressure campaign, Rubio's long-stated goal of regime change, and how this incident could become the pretext for the next military strike. Back at home, he doesn't let up on ICE, playing the raw interview with Elia Rahmet — the woman dragged from her car in Minneapolis, both shoulders torn — and demanding accountability by name. Plus: Mayor Adams failing the NYPD in Washington Square Park, Tommy Tuberville earning his "Senator Redneck" title again, and something good: the Obama Presidential Library's basketball court and Bruce Springsteen bringing Tom Morello on every stop of his tour. Paul also shares big news — he'll be appearing on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the coming weeks, and Sebastian Junger is confirmed for next week's episode. If you believe America's future belongs to independent thinkers, not party loyalists — this is your show. Country over party. People over politics.

Buck reacts to the design of the Obama Presidential Library, calling it one of the ugliest public buildings in recent memory and comparing it to the Obama presidency itself—grand, expensive, and underwhelming. He contrasts the outrage over Trump’s planned White House ballroom renovation with the long history of presidents making updates to the White House. Buck also highlights Trump’s plans for the addition, the media’s reaction, and a quick dive into historical White House renovations.

As the Obama Presidential Library begins to take shape, the impact of its land use is becoming increasingly clear. Contrary to expectations, black families are being pushed out and priced out of their neighborhoods to make way for the next phase of the library. In this episode, we uncover the unsettling truths behind the displacement of black families and its implications on the community.   At a time when we crave social contracts and community, we are faced with the harsh reality of our society's selfishness. How can we truly rely on each other and the government while also seeking independence and autonomy? Join us as we delve into the root causes of mental health issues and hatred in our society and explore ways to foster a more inclusive and compassionate community.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS It's been nearly six years since President Barack Obama strolled out of the White House. He and former Former First Lady Michelle Obama championed the Obama Presidential Library for Chicago, Illinois. Mrs. Obama attended a press event at the location. However, construction work came to a screeching halt this week after workers reportedly found a noose. It's unclear if this was a message for the former president, the black and non-white construction workers, or all of the above. Speaking of politics, Wes Moore became the first black person elected governor of the state of Maryland. In addition to a negro governor-elect, the same state voters also approved recreational cannabis - as did the state of Missouri. Georgia's White incumbent governor defeated Stacy Abrams again - and mocked his non-white challenger in the process. #RacistChild #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly forum on Neutralizing Workplace Racism. Last week, Gus T. told non-white workers that Whites are so prone to leave a noose on your keyboard or coffee cup, that it's mandatory to already have a codified response for this sort of Terrorist act. Low and behold, construction work was stopped this week on the site of the Obama Presidential Library in Chicago after a noose was found. It's not clear if the "rope" was for the former president or a crude threat targeting the black construction workers on the project. We'll also hear about a black student worker who was physically assaulted by a White University of Kentucky student who may have been under the influence. For years, Gus has stressed that non-white people who work in environments that include intoxicated people must prepare a detailed safety plan to neutralize the hazards of inebriated patrons (or co-workers). #IsYourCoWorkerPaytonGendron #TheCOWS13 INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Summary James Brundage (LinkedIn; Twitter) joins Andrew (Twitter; LinkedIn) to discuss prisoners-of-war and intelligence. He is the Curator at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library in Chicago.  What You'll Learn Intelligence The intelligence dynamics of “prisoners-of-war” Tap codes and other ways to covertly communicate Using POWs for propaganda Debriefing POWs after their release  Reflections Comparing across time (WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc.) Comparing within time (German/Japanese/American POW camps during WWII) And much, much more… Episode Notes What intelligence questions are generated when we discuss “prisoners of war”? The prisoner's side asks: what happened? Are they alive? If so, where? What did they know? Can they compromise operations? Can we get them out? The other side asks: what do they know? Can they tell us anything we don't know? Are they misleading us? The prisoner asks: where are we? Are there any friendlies? Can we share information to escape?  To answer these questions, this week's guest is James Brundage who curated the May 22-Apr 23 exhibit, “Life Behind the Wire: POW” which explores life in captivity. He is a public historian who has also worked at the Obama Presidential Library, the Chicago History Museum & the James Garfield Historic Site.  And… Jeremiah Denton Jr. was shot down while leading an attack over North Vietnam in 1965 and the title of his memoir, When Hell Was in Session, gives you an idea of what he endured during his captivity. As part of a propaganda campaign, the North Vietnamese arranged for him to be interviewed by a Japanese reporter. Hi blinked T-O-R-T-U-R-E in Morse code. Needless to say, the intelligence community took great interest in the video footage. He passed away in 2014.  Quote of the Week "So roughly 1% of the POW population perished in Europe at the hands of the Germans versus in Japan…the death rate was almost 40%. A lot of that was the conditions of the camp…in Vietnam, of the more than 700 American POWs, there were 73 who perished in POW camps in North Vietnam, which is roughly 10%." – James Brundage Resources *Andrew's Recommendation* The Railway Man: A POW's Searing Account, E.

The Obama Presidential Library just informed me they have approximately 3,440 pages and 26,271 electronic files that pertain to my request for AATIP, UFO, UAP and AAWSAP information. If true, I am absolutely floored the Obama Presidential library has that.

This week's guest has been behind the scenes in Chicago politics for years, but just out of the frame. He's crossed paths with Rod Blagojevich and Jesse Jackson Jr., worked on the Clinton/Gore campaign in the same political organization as a young Don Harmon and Phil Rock. But for the bulk of his career, he's worked for the Obamas, starting as a paralegal to Michelle Robinson at the law firm of Sidley Austin - not long before she and a hotshot Harvard grad named Barack Obama got married. About 20 years after first meeting the Obamas, Michael Strautmanis is now very much in the frame as executive vice president of civic engagement at the Obama Foundation. He discusses not only the progress on the Obama Presidential Center's construction in Jackson Park and the foundation's fundraising efforts, but also concerns around housing affordability nearby, what it's like as a guy who grew up mostly on the North Side to be handling a project with a big South Side impact, and how the foundation might play a role in addressing gun violence. Strautmanis also talks about what it takes to be a good “fixer” – a political problem solver – and the biggest political mess he ever had to clean up. Remember that beer summit back in 2009?

Dwayne has been a three-time guest on the Oprah Winfrey Show, correspondent for Next TV, hosted the Unity breakfast for The Obama Presidential Library and has been featured on ABC, CBS, FOX, WYCC, WTTW, NBC and PBS networks for his impactful work throughout various communities. Dwayne has also received a Proclamation from the Pennsylvania State Legislatures for his book: The STOP – Improving Police and Community Relations.  Recognizing his work for creating solutions to improve police and community relations, Dwayne received EBONY Magazine's EBONY Power 100's “Community Crusader” award and the FBI's Director of Community Leadership Award for his work to improve Police and Community Relations and his efforts to educate parents to the dangers of social media.

This week on The Real Estate Diplomat, we are joined by Catherine Tinker of Chicago based Columbian Model and Exhibit Works. The company builds scale models of buildings, mainly for the real estate development market. They have created many of the scale models of buildings that have been built within the last 30 years in Chicago and many throughout the United States. In this episode, Cathy shares her journey, from starting as a lawyer for the space industry dealing with the Space Shuttle Challenger accident, to creating scaled models of buildings. We discuss why physical representations are an important part of selling the invisible, in addition to digital representations. We also discuss her scale model of the Obama Presidential Library being discussed by former President Barack Obama on 60 Minutes.  The Humanity Behind Scale ModelsYou may wonder why developers invest in a physical model when virtual reality gear is available. Also, why do they even go through the trouble of showing what the project might look like? After all, cost-effective options such as pictures, whether printed and framed on the wall or projected from a computer screen, are available. In today's episode, Catherine explains why scale models are necessary for anyone trying to sell a development project. One of those reasons is that models are often used to assure the client that the project is real. In other words, if someone can build a scale model of the project, then the likelihood of the project being made to a real-life scale is high.  Additionally, when you are selling a project, whether a condo unit or a single-family home, having a model can help you give potential clients concrete answers to their questions. Ultimately, it will naturally click with the client if they see the project's space. It also entertains the client while making inquiries with the seller or the developer. Scale models help people better understand the project and its space. And like having an in-person conversation, there is just something so human about seeing and feeling a scaled physical representation of something you are looking to purchase.   About Catherine Tinker:Catherine Tinker has been a scale model and exhibit maker for over 29 years as owner and president of Columbian Model & Exhibit Works, Ltd. The company also spearheaded the creation of the Chicago Architecture Foundation's model of the City of Chicago. Their international client base includes real estate developers, senior living specialists, large corporations, museums, foundations, and attorneys. Prior to Columbian model, Cathy served as a litigation attorney for ten years. Outline of the Episode:[02:31] How Aaron and Catherine know each other.[04:46] Getting into the scale model building space. [07:21] The power of word of mouth when growing your business.[10:02] Working with different materials needed to build scale models. [13:08] The trajectory of pursuing a career in model making. [14:40] Why seeing a scale model is essential in real estate development.[15:53] Delivering large-scale models across the country.[18:56] Creating scale models for TV and movie productions.[22:40] The value of a scale model when selling a development project.[24:42] What Catherine sees on the horizon for model making.[26:51] How models provide entertainment and concrete answers for potential clients.[30:06] Her experience practicing law and a case involving NASA.[32:10] How to get in touch with Catherine Tinker and her work. Resources:Website: https://sites.google.com/site/columbianmodel/cmew/LinkedIn Personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ctinker/LinkedIn Company: https://www.linkedin.com/company/columbian-model-&-exhibit-works-ltd.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/columbianmodelFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/CMEWmodels Connect with Aaron Masliansky!Website: https://www.therealestatediplomat.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-masliansky-4b937217/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/633849318025738Twitter: https://twitter.com/aaronmasliansky

In the weeks after the groundbreaking of the Obama Presidential Library, Khalil and Ben revisit the Obama memoirs, Becoming and A Promised Land: Volume I, on how the Obamas talked about race and racism. From Obama's retelling of the financial crisis to Michelle's upbringing on the south side of Chicago, Ben and Khalil discuss how American exceptionalism is intrinsically tied to the Obamas' stories and their vision of America.

On the 30th episode of The Geek In Review, we talk with Debbie Ginsberg, Educational Technology Librarian at the Chicago-Kent Law Library. Debbie was recently quoted in law.com's "Where Are All the Women in Legal Tech?" So we cut right to the chase and ask that question to Debbie. She says that there are lots of women in legal tech, but that those putting on tech conferences need to take more action toward actively recruiting women for speaker and presenter opportunities. One profession where women are a majority, and are heavily involved in legal tech, is law librarians. The American Association of Law Libraries is approximately 75% women, and with the push toward knowledge management, analytics, competitive intelligence, and advancing the legal research and information tools, law librarians are an excellent resource when it comes to professionals in the legal tech market. Ginsberg also talks about the Women in Legal Tech Summit, held right before TechShow in Chicago. She mentions that there is an effort to expand the boundaries of women in legal tech beyond just women lawyers who are working in legal tech, and begin looking for other opportunities. Dovetailing nicely with that effort is Janders Dean, who is putting out a list of 180 highly qualified women speakers for legal tech on their Twitter page. And, Sarah Glassmeyer's crowdsourcing list of underrepresented people in legal tech and innovation. INFORMATION INSPIRATIONS Self-care isn't selfish and can actually help your performance - Author Jenna Cho interviews one of Jackson Walker's partners, Stephanie Sparks, who discusses how she was always waiting until the right time to take care of herself, and eventually realized that there was never a "right time" and she understood that she just had to make that time. Cho's article reminds us that we all need to take some time to listen to your body and mind, and remember that you can't take care of others if you don't first take care of yourself. Jason Barnwell gets a shout out from Marlene this week on his interview of Kate Ross. This Business of Law Podcast hits all the right buttons on the need for attorneys to collaborate and be transparent, not just with the good things, but how we need to show the warts and all. Greg points out Jason's comment that when it comes to culture in a legal environment, people shouldn't feel that they have "inherited someone else's shoes." This is a must listen for those looking at collaboration and better experiences for your organization. Marlene talks about how Zena Applebaum reminds us Humans are the Decision Makers… Data Isn't. And finally, Greg (and most librarians, historians, and researchers) aren't too happy with the Obama Presidential Library's plan to be an all-digital library.

When Paul Norrington, one of the driving forces behind the creation of the K-Town Historic District, suggested that President Obama build his Library in North Lawndale, his neighbors laughed him to scorn. UIC eventually partnered with the North Lawndale community to submit a bid that made it to the final round of the Obama Presidential Library site selection process.   As a result, there is heightened interest in redeveloping the community. Paul is currently spearheading the celebration of North Lawndale’s 150th anniversary celebration and is working with the Chicago History Museum to re-write the Wikipedia article on North Lawndale. Join us for a lively conversation on how communities can focus on a community’s heritage to drive positive change. Call in live at (347) 884-8121.

Juanita Irizarry, Executive Director of Friends of the Parks, talks to Mike and Peggy about the future Obama Presidential Library, a proposed south side golf course, and other issues facing park land in Chicago.

NBC Golf Channel commentator Mark Rolfing is a Chicago native and the founder of the Chicago Parks Golf Alliance. He’s also spearheading the effort to renovate and rejuvenate South Shore and Jackson Park courses in connection with the upcoming Obama Presidential Library. In this interview, we talk with Mark about his Chicago roots, his career […]

“…Construction of the Obama Presidential Library itself is estimated to cost around $600 million, and could result in the creation of an estimated 1,900 permanent jobs. Surrounding neighborhoods could see $30 million in new food and retail development, which the report says could translate into as many as thirty restaurants, eleven stores, and a hotel.” (Uchicagogate.com) Given the potential community impact, is a community benefits agreement necessary?  The Obama Foundation argues “no”, as the construction of the OPL, in and of itself, is a community benefit.  Some local community organizations agree, adding that the  Obamas can be trusted, and that it’s an insult to ask them to enter into such an agreement.  However, the Obama Library South Side Community Benefits Agreement Coalition feels differently, given the historic displacement of low-income Black residents through the construction of the Dan Ryan Expressway, the CHA Plan for Transformation and fallout from school closings. Join us for a lively discussion on the Obama Presidential Library and the prospects of negotiating a community benefits agreement to protect community interests.  Guests include Allegra Cira-Fischer, Staff Attorney with The Law Project; Jawanza Malone, Executive Director, KOCO and Dominic Surya, Organizer, Prayer and Action Collective of  the Obama-library CBA Coalition.  Call in live at (347) 884-8121.
