Mar 6, 2026 – How much of an impact with the Iran war and spiking oil prices have on inflation, widely expected Fed rate cuts, and the markets? Jim Puplava sits down with renowned market strategist Jim Bianco for a wide-ranging discussion...

In 1677, the longtime residents of the old and remote county of Albemarle in northern Carolina, a collection of cranks and dissidents who had fled from Maryland and Virginia and were used to living free of interference from the Carolina proprietors and the Crown’s tax collectors, revolted against new attempts to collect duties on tobacco. Quite astonishingly, they succeeded! And not without some history comedy along the way. In the long history of the Americans, it is easy to ignore Culpeper's Rebellion. Virtually all surveys of American history do. Albemarle was small, a literal backwater, and not even the most important part of Carolina. Historians of North Carolina, however, see it as a truer reflection of the American Revolution, a century later, than the other colonial upheavals of the 1670s. The Albemarle rebels were an early example, in their democratic tax-avoiding free-trading don't-tread-on-me resistance, of ideas that would later be taken up throughout English North America.  Subscribe to my Substack!

How can a play devised by enemies, performed in four locations across a peace wall in the middle of a war zone help provoke lasting peace?In November 1999, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, a community play called The Wedding brought Protestants and Catholics together to rehearse a shared future in the fragile aftermath of the Good Friday Agreement. It wasn't a feel-good arts project. It was risky, volatile, negotiated truth performed in living rooms and kitchen houses on both sides of the peace line.In this episode, we revisit that moment — not as nostalgia, but as a live question for a divided United States struggling to imagine a coherent democratic future.In this episode, we explore three critical lessons from Belfast that feel urgently relevant today:Proximity changes people. Intimacy — not abstraction — makes caricature impossible.Shared labor builds trust before shared opinion. Competence together can precede consensus.Hope is not a feeling. It's a container built through practice. Democracy survives inside structured collaboration, not slogans.Listen in for a return to Belfast — and a serious invitation to consider what it would mean to rehearse the future together, here and now.NOTABLE MENTIONSPeopleBill ClevelandHost of Art Is Change and author of Art and Upheaval.David TrimbleLeader of the Ulster Unionist Party and key political figure in the Good Friday Agreement.George J.

Eli Lilly notches another win over Novo Nordisk, as Zepbound bests CagriSema in a head-to-head trial sponsored by Novo; The FDA kicked off Rare Disease Week, providing draft guidance on its new plausible mechanism pathway, while a bipartisan senate hearing on Thursday will focus on the authorization process for rare conditions; Another leadership change shakes up CDC; and Gilead acquires CAR T partner Arcellx for nearly $8 billion.  Everything is coming up Lilly. The Indianapolis-based pharma bested its chief rival, Novo Nordisk in a head-to-head test. In a Phase 3 trial initiated by Novo itself, Lilly's Zepbound generated 25.5% weight loss while the Danish pharma's CagriSema elicited 23%. The results sent Novo's shares plummeting by an unprecedented 20% to a pre-Wegovy valuation while Lilly's market cap continues to climb.   Novo attempted a comeback on Tuesday, announcing that its triple-G agonist UBT251 scored almost 20% weight loss after 24 weeks in a Phase 2 trial in China. By comparison, Lilly's own triple-G competitor retatrutide led to 17.5% weight loss over the same timeframe, according to BMO Capital Markets analysts. Novo also sweetened the pot, announcing that it would slash the prices for all three of its GLP-1 medicines starting in 2027.    Meanwhile, the FDA kicked off Rare Disease Week with draft guidance on the new Plausible Mechanism Pathway for personalized therapies that was first teased in November. Jumping off last summer's Baby KJ success story, the new pathway is aimed at advancing treatments for ultra-rare diseases. And a bipartisan senate hearing on Thursday will focus on the authorization process for rare disease therapies.  While the rare disease space has enjoyed recent regulatory progress, funding these vital therapies remains a challenge. Companies like the Orphan Therapeutics Accelerator (OTXL), a non-profit biotech, are trying to change this with creative approaches including tax exempt status and unique partnerships with CDMOs and CMOs. Finally, in a move that also has implication for the rare disease space, the FDA's official pivot from a two clinical trial requirement to just one for new drug applications is lighting up biopharma social media.   And over at the CDC, there is more upheaval on the leadership front as National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya replaces acting director Jim O'Neill as head of the agency, and principal deputy director Ralph Abraham steps down, citing “unforeseen family obligations.”    On the business front, Gilead inked the biggest M&A deal of the year so far, acquiring CAR T partner Arcellx for nearly $8B. And Merck's Keytruda should have a few extra years of dominance thanks to a web of patents, with billions on the line.

Simon emphasizes the need for higher education to be oriented towards the common good and discusses the distinctions between public goods and common goods in this context. The conversation explores the differences between higher education systems in the Anglosphere and other parts of the world, as well as the implications of internationalization versus globalization.

After more than a decade of war, a surge of violence in northern Syria is forcing thousands of people to flee – even as others return to a fractured country under a fragile interim government. With two-thirds of the population in need of urgent assistance and the UN humanitarian response underfunded, the Danish Refugee Council's Charlotte Slente tells RFI why aid groups fear catastrophic consequences as cold weather and economic collapse push millions to the brink. Clashes in and around Aleppo have displaced around 170,000 people since mid-January, as the Syrian army seeks to extend its control over previously Kurdish-controlled areas. Ongoing hostilities between government forces and armed groups continue to trigger displacement in several parts of the country, according to the UN. While political transition is underway after the fall of Bashar al-Assad at the end of 2024, reconstruction and recovery efforts are hindered by instability and lack of funding.  Access to healthcare remains unreliable, and basic services are severely disrupted. A harsh winter and long-term drought are exacerbating the crisis. More than 16 million Syrians are expected to need humanitarian assistance in 2026 – yet the UN's response plan is only 33.5 percent funded, leaving a $3.2 billion gap. "It is an incredibly fragile moment for Syria," said Slente, secretary-general of the Danish Refugee Council (DRC), speaking to RFI on a visit to the Syria, including areas in and around Damascus.  "This is a country where two out of every three Syrians need humanitarian assistance, and 90 percent of the population lives below the poverty line." A year after Assad's fall, Syrian hopes for transitional justice are fading Returning to ruins, landmines Around 3 million Syrian refugees and internally displaced people have returned home since the fall of the Assad regime, over 1 million from other countries and nearly 2 million from within Syria. "Syria has had a new government in place for the last year," Slente said, "and it's time to sort of recap on our programming here and adapt our programming to the new realities on the ground. A vast percentage of the population here are in dire need of humanitarian assistance on the ground." Many people are returning to their homes to find almost nothing after more than 13 years of civil war, she added. One of the DRC's priorities now is to work on getting rid of the landmines that still litter areas where fighting took place, and pose a deadly threat to returnees. The organisation recently finished training local teams to help clear mines, Slente said. "We are helping build the capacity here of the National Mine Action Centre in the Ministry of Emergencies that needs to coordinate that very big endeavour of clearing Syria of unexploded ordinance and landmines. It means that now we can get more jobs done on the ground with the clearing of mines, getting them out of fields and villages, so that people can actually be safe when they move around the territory." As Syrian workers return home from Turkey, local businesses feel the loss Upheaval in Kurdish north In north-eastern Syria, near the border with Turkey, civilians say they are still fearful. After months of tension, Kurdish-led forces have ceded swathes of territory to advancing government troops. Under a deal agreed last week, Kurdish forces and administrative institutions are to be integrated into the state. It is a blow to the Kurds, who had sought to preserve the de facto autonomy they exercised after seizing swathes of territory in battles against the Islamic State jihadist group during the civil war. "We are afraid that they will attack our regions and that massacres and genocide will occur," one woman told RFI's reporter in the Kurdish-majority city of Qamishli, where government forces entered on Tuesday. Another resident said he was hoping for "a positive resolution to the conflict, so that no more bloodshed occurs". This episode was mixed by Nicolas Doreau.

Legal giant Paul Weiss is getting a new chairman for the first time in nearly two decades, but this transition is definitely not happening in a planned, orderly fashion. Brad Karp stepped down from the role yesterday after the latest tranche of Justice Department documents showed he had surprisingly close ties to disgraced financier and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein—far closer than what Paul Weiss had originally indicated. On this special episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Bloomberg Law editor Chris Opfer talks about what happened at this elite law firm and about the informal work Karp did for Epstein shortly before his death. Opfer also talks about why the firm's profits may not actually suffer that much from this abrupt change in leadership. "Long gone are the days of Paul Weiss being this, sort of, large litigation boutique," Opfer said. "It's much more a corporate-focused mega-firm."

In this episode, we're joined by analyst Francois Sonneville and relationship manager Jonathan Magel to discuss the biggest news stories from the past 30 days, including: The US issues new dietary guidelines for alcohol consumption. Will it impact consumption or regulatory pressure? The CEO of Heineken will be stepping down later this year. Virtually every major alcohol business has seen executive turnover in the last 18 months. Does this signal a shift in our expectations for a quick return to growth or a resignation that the problems are more structural?  Recent reports suggest Republic National Distributing Company, the second-largest wine and spirits wholesaler in the US, will sell operations in seven states to Reyes Holdings, famously not a wine and spirits distributor. Could this signal an end or just the beginning of upheaval in the US wholesaler landscape?  The advent of GLP-1s in pill form and the lower pricing will inevitably lead to higher uptake.

For Jason Pack, presenter of the Disorder podcast, the person of the year for 2025 was the Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney. But for 2026, Pack predicts, the person of the year will be a resurrected Jeffrey Epstein (or, at least, the Epstein scandal). Orderers vs Disorderers: the dialectic driving our age of upheaval. The Canadian Prime Minister, for Pack, is a hero. "Carney stood up to Trump and said, Great, you want to punish us? Punish us," Pack says. Whereas the conspiracy theorists stoking the Epstein paranoia are the bad guys. "The more that we in the mainstream attempt to say it was just a sex scandal, the more that people on the extreme left and right are gonna gain in power," Pack warns. So it's Carney vs Epstein. The hard center vs the extreme left and right. Order vs disorder. If only the future was that dialectically simple.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Its impact is still felt today — especially in St. Louis, which shares deep connections to the musical. National tour co-producer for “The Wiz” Nicole Hudson, 4theVille President Aaron Williams and artist Hayveyah McGowan discuss the intersection of art, fantasy and theater. They also share how “The Wiz” has served as a vessel for understanding and holding space for joy — particularly Black joy — over the years.
