What happened to Abraham Clark after signing the Declaration of Independence? The famous pledge of "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor" became devastatingly personal when British forces captured his two sons and subjected them to brutal imprisonment during the American Revolution. Most Americans know the words of the Declaration of Independence, but few understand what those words demanded of the Founding Fathers who signed it. In this episode of America's Founding Series on The P.A.S. Report Podcast, Professor Nick Giordano tells the extraordinary story of Abraham Clark, whose commitment to liberty was tested through his own family. Discover what American independence truly cost, why Clark's sacrifice reveals the meaning of sacred honor, and what his legacy teaches us today about character, civic responsibility, and preserving a constitutional republic. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Untold Story: Why Abraham Clark's family paid one of the highest personal prices of the American Revolution. The Brutal Reality of British Captivity: The horrific conditions aboard British prison ships like the HMS Jersey and how Clark's family endured that nightmare. "Sacred Honor" Defined: What "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor" actually meant to the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Character Over Comfort: Why constitutions and institutions alone cannot preserve liberty without citizens willing to defend enduring principles. The Lesson for Today: What Abraham Clark's sacrifice teaches every generation about protecting freedom and preserving the American republic.

If you ask Americans to name the signers of the Declaration of Independence, they will probably mention John Hancock, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. But what about the other 52 delegates from the 13 colonies who signed the document?  Men like Thomas McKean, Lyman Hall, George Walton, Francis Lewis, Benjamin Rush, and Roger Sherman? Historian Carol Berkin, one of the nation's leading scholars of the founding era and the author of the National Constitution Center's definitive short biographies of all 56 signers, joins the Center to explore the stories of these lesser-known signers. Berkin reveals these figures not as distant icons, but as real people whose lives were marked by ambition, sacrifice, hardship, resilience, and public service. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Berkin explains why understanding the full cast of characters behind American independence can deepen our appreciation of the nation's founding and the ongoing work of constitutional self-government. Julie Silverbrook, chief content and learning officer at the National Constitution Center, moderates.    Resources  Josiah Bartlett (New Hampshire), National Constitution Center  Elbridge Gerry (Massachusetts), National Constitution Center  Button Gwinnett (Georgia), National Constitution Center  Lyman Hall (Georgia), National Constitution Center  Francis Lewis (New York), National Constitution Center  Thomas McKean (Delaware), National Constitution Center  Robert Morris, Jr. (Pennsylvania), National Constitution Center  Benjamin Rush (Pennsylvania), National Constitution Center  Roger Sherman (Connecticut), National Constitution Center  Richard Stockton (New Jersey), National Constitution Center  George Walton (Georgia), National Constitution Center  Biographies of all the Declaration's Signers, National Constitution Center Stay Connected and Learn More Questions or comments about the show?

House Democrats are calling on the Trump administration to scrap its plans to collect health data about federal workers from insurance companies. The lawmakers argue that the sensitive information could be used to target employees seeking care it disagrees with. Signers of the letter, which was led by House Oversight ranking member Robert Garcia of California, were specifically concerned about the potential targeting of federal employees who have accessed abortion care, contraceptives, in vitro fertilization (IVF), gender-affirming care, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for the prevention of HIV, or any other health care services targeted by Republicans.” The Federal Trade Commission is poised to deepen its involvement in curbing the use of AI for malicious purposes, including the spread of nonconsensual sexualized deepfakes and voice cloning scams. Last year, Congress passed the Take It Down Act, a law that allowed for criminal prosecution of individuals who share or distribute nonconsensual, intimate images and digital forgeries, including those that are AI-generated.

New York Times (3/10/26) This week on CounterSpin: House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Brian Mast declared of Iran: “This murderous regime has posed an imminent threat against every American both at home and abroad for the last 47 years”—leading many at home and abroad to reach for their dictionaries. The Trump White House's war on Iran is unpopular in the US: “Even the highest level of public support for this conflict falls far lower than that at the start of most other conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War and the Iraq War,” reports the New York Times. That may have something to do with the parade of rationales offered; Popular Information has a roundup of the 17 different reasons the Trump regime has given to date for why we went to war. All of it normalized by corporate media that allow recorded history to be put up for debate, that pretend we haven't seen what we've seen, leaving today's warmongers free to draw up a historical narrative, or several, that serve their present purpose. As we record on March 12, some 251 groups have sent a letter to Congress demanding they vote against any additional funding for the unconstitutional war, now costing an estimated $1 billion a day. Signers included Public Citizen, the ACLU, Greenpeace, J Street, Jewish Voice for Peace and National Nurses United. A supplemental worth $50 billion, the letter notes, would be enough to restore food assistance for 4 million Americans, establish universal pre-K education and pay for the annual construction of more than 100,000 units of housing. CounterSpin has been tracking US news media failings, omissions and propagandizing on Iran for decades. We revisit some of that conversation this week, hearing from Cyrus Safdari (2009), Vijay Prashad (2012), Murtaza Hussain (2017) and Trita Parsi (2018).

fWotD Episode 3205: Black American Sign Language Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 12 February 2026, is Black American Sign Language.Black American Sign Language (BASL) or Black Sign Variation (BSV) is a dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) used most commonly by deaf Black Americans in the United States. The divergence from ASL was influenced largely by the segregation of schools in the American South. Like other schools at the time, schools for the deaf were segregated based upon race, creating two language communities among deaf signers: Black deaf signers at Black schools and White deaf signers at White schools. As of the mid 2010s, BASL is still used by signers in the South despite public schools having been legally desegregated since 1954.Linguistically, BASL differs from other varieties of ASL in its phonology, syntax, and vocabulary. BASL tends to have a larger signing space, meaning that some signs are produced further away from the body than in other dialects. Signers of BASL also tend to prefer two-handed variants of signs, while signers of ASL tend to prefer one-handed variants. Some signs are different in BASL as well, with some borrowings from African American English.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:08 UTC on Thursday, 12 February 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Black American Sign Language on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

What physical security measures are recommended for protecting high-value wallet signers' homes?Recommendations include implementing a high-security safe (like a TL-30 rated safe) for storing hardware wallets and seed phrases, reinforcing doors and using strong locks such as deadbolts and smart locks with biometric access. Inside, security cameras with remote monitoring are advised for critical areas, along with motion sensors and panic buttons. Perimeter security should include high fences, gates, and controlled entry points, complemented by motion-activated security lights and surveillance cameras around the property. A secure parking area or monitored garage is also recommended.What technological security measures are suggested to protect digital assets and devices?Securing digital assets and devices involves using secure computers and mobile devices with biometric authentication. Dedicated offline devices (air-gapped devices) for signing transactions are crucial. Electronic devices can be protected using a Faraday cage or signal-blocking container. A secure Wi-Fi network is also essential, recommending a hidden SSID and enterprise-grade encryption.What behavioral security practices are advised to minimize risk for high-value wallet signers?Behavioral security is key and includes strictly avoiding public discussions about crypto holdings, both in person and online. Regularly rotating security routines helps to avoid predictability. Using pseudonyms for crypto-related transactions and accounts adds a layer of anonymity. It's also important to verify the identity of service personnel before allowing them access to the home and to shred sensitive documents before disposal. Establishing emergency protocols, including safe words for distress situations, is also recommended.How can the visibility of wealth be reduced to enhance security?Reducing signs of wealth is an important preventative measure. The checklist specifically advises against having luxury items visible from outside the home.What personal security measures should high-value wallet signers consider?Personal security measures involve carrying a discreet personal alarm or security device and being trained in situational awareness and self-defense. Using a secure and anonymous mobile number for crypto-related activities is advised. Avoiding geotagging locations in social media posts is also crucial. Establishing trusted emergency contacts aware of security protocols is important, and engaging a trusted network of security personnel or bodyguards may be necessary.Why is storing hardware wallets and seed phrases in a high-security safe recommended?Storing hardware wallets and seed phrases in a high-security safe, such as a TL-30 rated safe, provides robust physical protection against theft and damage. These devices and phrases are the keys to accessing digital assets, making their secure storage paramount.What is the purpose of using dedicated offline devices for signing transactions?Using dedicated offline devices (air-gapped devices) for signing transactions significantly reduces the risk of online compromise. Since these devices never connect to the internet, they are isolated from potential malware and hacking attempts, making them much more secure for authorizing transactions.What type of storage is recommended for important documents and backups?Fireproof and waterproof storage is recommended for important documents and backups. This ensures that critical information remains protected in the event of a fire or flood, which could otherwise lead to significant losses.

In this episode of The Wandering Pilgrims, we delve into the remarkable lives of the wives of Roger Sherman, a key figure in America's founding who uniquely signed all four cornerstone documents: the Articles of Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. But behind this self-made patriot were two extraordinary women—Elizabeth Hartwell Sherman and Rebecca Prescott Sherman—who played pivotal roles in his life and legacy.Born into modest beginnings in 1721, Roger's early life was marked by hardship and determination. After losing his father at a young age, he took on the responsibility of supporting his family, eventually becoming a shoemaker while self-educating in law and mathematics. His ascent from humble beginnings to a prominent political figure is a testament to his grit and resilience. We explore how his journey was profoundly shaped by the unwavering support of his first wife, Elizabeth, whose gentle nature and strong Christian character provided a stable foundation for their family amidst the challenges of colonial life.Elizabeth's untimely passing at just 34 years old left Roger a widower with four young children, but her legacy of strength and faith continued to influence his path. Just three years later, he married Rebecca Prescott, a spirited woman who not only took on the role of stepmother to Roger's children but became an invaluable partner in his political endeavors. Rebecca's intelligence and charm shone brightly as she navigated the social circles of the revolutionary era, even participating in the creation of Connecticut's first state flag.Join us as we reflect on the lives of Elizabeth and Rebecca, two formidable women whose contributions were integral to Roger Sherman's success and whose stories remind us of the vital roles women played in shaping our nation's history. Their legacies, intertwined with Roger's, offer a deeper understanding of the personal sacrifices and steadfast support that fueled the ambitions of America's founders.If you enjoyed this episode and wish to support our mission, consider contributing through Buy Me a Coffee, Patreon, or exploring our shop.
