The College Essay Guy Podcast: A Practical Guide to College Admissions
Welcome back to the podcast! I'm Tillie Gottlieb, a senior college counselor and content specialist here at CEG. This season, we're sitting down with admission officers to hear their real stories. I spent years on that side of the desk myself, and one thing I want listeners to walk away with is this: these aren't gatekeepers deciding your fate. They're people trying to build a class and a community, often inside a system that feels chaotic from every angle. So over the next few weeks, we're getting to know some of them as people, hearing what actually drives them, and along the way, getting a clearer picture of what they're looking for. Today's guest is someone I've known since my earliest days in admission. He's also doing something I wish more colleges would do: making the actual cost of college something a family can understand before they ever apply. Let's get into it. Adam Miller serves as Vice President for Admission and Financial Aid at Whitman College, located at the foot of the Blue Mountains in Walla Walla, Washington. Over his 13 years at Whitman, Adam has led efforts to build a more equitable and transparent admission process, including removing unnecessary barriers in the application and developing financial aid practices that give families a clear understanding of the true cost of attendance. Adam is a frequent speaker for high school audiences, where he helps students and families navigate college admission and financial aid, and he's regularly cited in national media as an expert on these topics. Whitman's approach to paying for college has been featured in The New York Times, and Adam's recent work on the college's "10% Promise" has been covered all over the news. He's particularly interested in expanding access to selective colleges and demystifying the admission process for families. Before Whitman, Adam spent six years in the admission office at his alma mater, Claremont McKenna College, where he oversaw international admission, coordinated leadership scholarship selection, and served as the admissions liaison for athletic recruitment. We hope you enjoy.

Walt Whitman kallas USA:s nationalpoet, men fortsätter att provocera. Göran Sommardal reflekterar över Whitmans poesi och över varför han älskade sina medmänniskor mest när de sover. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2019-05-30.[Louis Armstrong: Nobody knows the trouble I've seen]Man borde inte börja en OBS-essä med sång och musik. Men skälet till att jag inte kan låta bli musiken och sången är att mötet med de dikter som Walt Whitman har kallat Leaves of Grass, eller det urval som Gunnar Harding har kallat Jag hör Amerika sjunga, får mig att höra, om jag skulle höra Amerika sjunga, inte alla de sånger som Walt Whitman radar upp redan i den inledande dikten – utan allra först det här.[Mahalia Jackson: Let my people go]Så här låter Whitmans sång:Jag hör Amerika sjunga, en mångfald av sånger hör jag/mekanikernas sånger, var och en sjunger sin muntert och/ starkt som sig bör,snickaren sjunger sin medan han mäter sin planka eller bjälke,[...]moderns underbara sång, eller den unga hustruns vid sina/ sysslor, eller flickans där hon syr eller tvättar,/var och en sjunger om vad som hör till honom eller henne/ och ingen annan,/dagen om vad som tillhör dagen – om natten en samling/ unga grabbar, robusta, vänliga/och de sjunger för full hals sina starka, melodiska sånger....I stället för att låta de ohörda kollektivens och de förvisade folkliga gemenskapernas sånger runga i sin dikt avlyssnar Whitman, alltså, de enskilda amerikanernas tonarter och sångstilar. Och jag vet att denna invändning mot Walt Whitmans allomfattande och alltomfattande individualism kan förefalla historiskt orättvis. Han var ju emot slaveriet, om än tidvis en något vacklande abolitionist. Han uppmärksammade de amerikanska ursprungsinvånarna, han såg till både män och kvinnor – alla den nya kontinentens själar ägde samma hemortsrätt på Den stora landsvägen, som får sägas vara poetens favorittillhåll i dikten. Och riktningen i hans litterära politik var alltid demokratins. I sin essä om Whitman i sina Studier i klassisk amerikansk litteratur kallar D.H. Lawrence honom "den första vite infödingen".Om Dickinson lockar med sin gåtfulla precision och sin precisa gåtfullhet, så har Whitman förfört sina stora läsarskaror med sin generösa omåttlighet och välgörande brist på poetiska hyfsning.Det kan vara upplysande att jämföra Walt Whitmans poesi och plats i den amerikanska litteraturhistorien med den tolv år äldre Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, som vid tiden för Whitmans debut 1855 var den dittills överlägset mest kände amerikanske poeten, hyllad på båda sidor av Atlanten. Och på sin tid flitigt utgiven och översatt, också till svenska, och beundrad av europeiska storheter som Dickens och Baudelaire. Longfellows hexameterepos Evangeline skildrar en romantisk-tragisk historia baserad på en historia om brittisk etnisk rensning av franska ättlingar i Nova Scotia. Hans mytologiska The Song of Hiawatha är en hyllning till "den ädle vilden" och hans valhänta och aldrig riktigt realistiska skildringar av slaveriet i Poems on slavery är helt i linje med hans starka engagemang för abolitionismen. Men trots att Longfellow på många vis intog en mer progressiv och klargörande ställning i frågor om slaveri och fördrivning och exploatering av Amerikas urinnevånare, så har tidens gång förvandlat hans euro- peiskt designade humanism i kombination med hans akademiska välmenande vers till obligatorisk kurslitteratur, medan Walt Whitmans fria och orimmade verser, fräcka och förföriska, ofta skabrösa och frispråkiga, med kärlek såväl mellan män och kvinnor som mellan män och män – den har blivit, och förblivit, också den obligatorisk kurslitteratur men i ett avgörande tillägg ett källsprång för läsare och efterföljare. "Whitman, den ende man som gått fram på helt obanade stigar", så skriver D.H. Lawrence vidare om Whitman i sin essä. Och för vår europeiska räkning kunde han ha tillagt: US-amerikanska stigar. Och så är det. Walt Whitman, jämsides med Emily Dickinson, har kommit att utgöra den amerikanska poesins ojämförliga moderna källflöde. Om Dickinson lockar med sin gåtfulla precision och sin precisa gåtfullhet, så har Whitman förfört sina stora läsarskaror med sin generösa omåttlighet och välgörande brist på poetiska hyfsning. Och många, inte bara amerikanska, poeter har följt i hans fotspår.I denna generositet ingår en idé om mänsklig förbrödring, ty så får man ända karaktärisera ingivelsen hos en poet som gärna inledde sina dikter med ett Allons!, alltså det "Allons enfants...", som inleder Marseljäsen, den franska revolutionssången som mer än någon annan kommit att musikaliskt förkroppsliga Frihet, jämlikhet, broderskap.Jag föreställer mig gärna att hållbarheten och livaktigheten i arvet efter Whitman till stor del också har göra med att han i någon mening förblivit kontroversiell och aldrig riktigt enkelt kanoniserbar. Hade det bara varit för hans proklamerade världsmedborgarsolidaritet som Bror Hjort tolkade den i sin målning "Kärleken, freden, arbetet", med Whitman själv, "Jesus den härlige" och Sokrates, därtill bröder och systrar, svarta, röda, gula och vita tillsammans i fröjd och gamman, då hade hans verser kunnat pryda vilken som helst söndagsskola. Som det står i inledning till dikt 8 av sviten "De sovande":asiaten och afrikanen hand i hand, europén och amerikanen hand i hand/lärd och olärd hand i hand, och man och kvinna hand i handMen i botten av denna inlevelsefulla själarnas gemenskap som Whitman målar upp återfinner vi, alltid, det Lawrence i sin Whitman-betraktelse hänvisar till som hans "obändiga livskraft", och han citerar:Jag är den som anfäktas av köttslig lusta/Graviterar inte jorden, dras inte all materia till all annan, åtrår den?/Så dras min kropp till allt och alla som jag möter eller ser.Det är i diktsviten Children of Adam som Whitman mest oförblommerat och envetet ger uttryck för kropparnas sinnliga möten. Och i Calamus tillkommer det för tiden ännu mer "chockerande": homoerotik. Whitman bjöd på en frispråkighet som på sin tid något lättare fann fristad i Europa än i det ännu bigotta USA. Hos Whitman hålls ingen "Själarnas maskerad" som hos Pär Lagerkvist, snarare en kropparnas maskerad. Hos Whitman har Terentius urhumanistiska ”Intet mänskligt är mig främmande” transformerats till ”Allt kroppsligt är mig kärt”:stammaren, sjuklingen, den välbyggde, den anspråkslöse,/den kriminelle som stod inför skranket, domaren som satt och dömde honom,/de vältaliga advokaterna, juryn, åskådarna,/skrattaren och gråtaren, dansaren, änkan vid midnatt, den röda squawen,/den lungsiktige, den rosfeberdrabbade, idioten, han som förorättats,/ motsatserna, och var och en mellan det här och dem i mörkret,/jag svär att de är utjämnade nu – ingen förmer än den andra,/natten och sömnen har gjort dem jämlika och återupprättat dem.Individer, alla lika mycket mänskligt värda, men bara tillgängliga och insläppta En och En."Hans dikter", här citerar jag på nytt D.H. Lawrence, "Demokrati, En masse, Allenheten, är långa additions- och multiplikationstabeller, där slutsiffran alltid blir JAG SJÄLV."Sannolikt är det i denna allomfattande men enkelriktade individualism som Walt Whitman blir bäst definierad. Individer, alla lika mycket mänskligt värda, men bara tillgängliga och insläppta En och En. Inga klasser, inga kulturskillnader- och gemenskaper, inga fackföreningar, och inget behov av fackföreningar, ingen UNION. Därför älskar Whitman sina människor mest när de sover:De sovande är mycket vackra då de ligger avklädda,/de flyger hand i hand fram över hela jorden från öster till väster då de ligger/avkläddaHär skymtar Whitmans utopi, lika lockande än idag, och för alltid lika skrämmande. Vår tids ideologiska städmani: att göra rent hus: Ur vägen allt för själarnas framåtskridande, all religion, alla fasta föremål, konstarter, regeringar – allt det som var eller är synligt på detta klot eller något annat klot faller i nischer och vrår inför själarnas procession längs universums väldiga vägar.Göran SommardalLitteraturWalt Whitman: Jag hör Amerika sjunga, övers.

As we prepare for the new school year, we turn to Walt Whitman's poem "When I Heard the Learned Astronomer." We discuss Whitman's influence, the effects of war, the role of poetry as Whitman saw it, and the importance of experiencing the world both in and beyond the classroom. When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer When I heard the learn'd astronomer, When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45479/when-i-heard-the-learnd-astronomer For a brief account of Whitman, see The Poetry Foundation.

"Camden's Compliment to Walt Whitman" is a poignant tribute commemorating the 70th birthday of the illustrious poet Walt Whitman, organized by a dedicated "Committee of Citizens" in Camden, NJ. This collection features an autobiographical note by Whitman himself, alongside heartfelt speeches and appreciations from notable figures like Mark Twain and Ernest Rhys, as well as a wealth of letters and telegrams from admirers around the globe. The themes of appreciation, community, and the celebration of artistic legacy resonate deeply today, reminding us of the enduring impact of Whitman's work and the universal desire to honor influential voices in our cultural history.
Send us Fan MailIn the previous episode, we walked with Walt Whitman down the open roads of America, hearing the chorus of ordinary lives. Whitman's poetry celebrated the sweep of America, the chorus of countless lives, and the boundless possibilities of freedom. Across the ocean and slightly later in time, Dostoevsky turned his gaze inward, exploring the shadowed recesses of the human heart. Whereas Whitman's lines embraced the world, Dostoevsky's narratives probe the tensions, doubts, and moral struggles that define our inner lives. In moving from Whitman to Dostoevsky, we travel from the expansive optimism of a young nation to the intense psychological and ethical landscapes of nineteenth-century Russia—a shift that reminds us just how varied, yet universally human, the work of great writers can be.And right now, I am standing in front of a wax figure of FYODOR Dostoevsky-or at least that's what the title on the nameplate here says.Yes, Mr. Barley, I am most definitely Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Some might call me one of the towering figures of 19th-century literature. I was Born in Moscow into a middle-class family, AND faced hardship early: my mother died when I was young, and my father was a rather strict and harsh figure. I originally trained as an engineer, but my passion for literature led me to the literary scene in St. Petersburg.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.
What does it mean to value the "little ones" as Christ does? How can compassionate faith transform grief into a ministry of hope? In this episode, we explore the inspiring life of Narcissa Whitman and her response to Jesus' command in Matthew 18:10 to "despise not one of these little ones." As one of the first women to cross the Continental Divide, Narcissa left behind the comforts of home to bring the gospel to the Native peoples of the Pacific Northwest. Through heartbreaking personal loss, faithful service, and sacrificial love for orphaned and vulnerable children, her life reflects Christ's compassion for the forgotten and the needy. Together, we are challenged to look beyond our own circumstances, embrace God's heart for the vulnerable, and faithfully serve wherever He has called us—even when the cost is great.
“Misbehave, make something beautiful, and try to win.” — Curtis White's motto for resistance How to say no to fascism? Curtis White, the literary thinker dubbed “the splendidly cranky utopian,” has published what he calls a “manifesto” of “resistance.” On Resistance, the 75-year-old White told me, is his last work of non-fiction. He still has worlds to invent, novels to write. Enough with the manifestos. But don't expect a program. On Resistance is more of an anti-manifesto. “That's not for me to say,” White responds when asked what, exactly, we're supposed to do to resist fascism. His resistance is cultural. It's an attitude. Borrowing from Ted Gioia's subversive history of music, White likes the idea of “psychic treason.” Its patron saints are the first dropouts, romantics like Wordsworth and Coleridge who rejected the military, clergy and family to write poetry in the countryside. But On Resistance isn't simply sixties nostalgia. White, a veteran of Berkeley and the Haight, prefers the Nietzschean imperative to forget the past and move on to the next joyful deed. So the only good manifesto is the anti-manifesto. If you want to say no to fascism, become a cranky utopian. Or at least pick up On Resistance. Five Takeaways • Psychic Treason. White's resistance is not conventionally political — Trump appears once or twice, party politics not at all. Borrowing “psychic treason” from Ted Gioia's Music: A Subversive History, he argues that the arts are subversive by nature: sometimes formally, sometimes by allying with social movements. His founding example is the Romantics, the first dropouts — Wordsworth and Coleridge refusing the military, the clergy, and the family estate to write poetry in the countryside, declaring cultural war once the church was out of the way. The treason White wants is the one the arts commit constantly, whether or not anyone calls it politics.• Not Nostalgia — Nietzsche. The sixties made White: Berkeley in high school, San Francisco after, and the formative discovery that his country “had lied to me” and was indifferent to whether he lived or died. But On Resistance opens with the confession “I am living in a world that no longer exists” — and refuses to make anyone else live there. One chapter is bluntly titled “Forget The Beatles.” His position is Nietzschean: move on to the next joyful deed. And the rot, he insists, didn't start with Trump but with Reagan — the decades-long withdrawal of public money from public goods, education above all.• The Three False Resistances. The book's first half is ideology critique: our culture says resistance is unnecessary because it has already been provided — by philanthropy, virtuous corporations, and liberalism. White's exhibits: Steve Jobs Buddha-branding the counterculture to sell machines to people who thought they were subverting something; the “big green” foundations (via Mark Dowie) taking over grassroots fights and defanging them; the Gates Foundation vaccinating children against polio downwind of a polluter it was invested in. Philanthropy, he argues, self-limits to protect the source of its own wealth. Patagonia may be the quiet exception that proves the rule.• Dropping Out, Together. White's alternative is dropping out — plural: doing something else, and doing it with other people. The organic farms and farmers markets that have created communal well-being in most American cities; FC2, the author-run press he co-founded with Ronald Sukenick, past its fiftieth anniversary; the thriving-but-invisible independent presses — Graywolf, Coffee House, Rochester's Open Letter — for which he's now plotting a group Substack. The obstacle is the money jail: everyone's struggle for money limits what it is possible to do. The goal isn't overturning the status quo. “What we need right now is companions.”• Misbehave, Make Something Beautiful, Try to Win. White's motto since The Middle Mind — the making beautiful needn't be art; the trying to win is where misbehavior gets socialized. His lineage runs Thoreau, Whitman, William Carlos Williams, and above all John Berger: Marxist, art critic, poet, writer of lively living books. His Marxism, such as it is, is the humanist 1844 Manuscripts — alienation, not expropriation — via Marcuse's One-Dimensional Man. And the book itself is the argument: playful and fierce, a performance that moves like a novel, reinvigorating worthy old ideas rather than hunting new ones. At 75, it's his last nonfiction — written in a spirit of play, to be left in one. About the Guest Curtis White is a novelist and social critic whose books include Memories of My Father Watching TV, The Middle Mind, The Science Delusion, and Living in a World That Can't Be Fixed. Called by Elle “the most inspiringly wicked social critic of the moment,” he is co-founder, with Ronald Sukenick, of FC2, the publisher of innovative fiction run collectively by its authors, and taught English for many years at Illinois State University. His new and, he says, final work of nonfiction is On Resistance: A Manifesto (Melville House, August 11, 2026). He lives in Port Townsend, Washington.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the hall of imagination. Tonight I was looking up at the wax figure of the writer Walt Whitman– And I was not surprised in the least when he looked down at me and began speaking.George, I was most commonly known as "Walt" among friends, family, and in much of my correspondence, rather than as "Mr. Whitman." My parents shortened my given name from Walter to Walt when I was born, and used this familiar form throughout my life. As a poet, I believe I embraced a democratic and accessible persona, and the informal "Walt" aligns with that approach. However, in public and formal settings—especially as I gained fame—I was often referred to as "Mr. Whitman" or by various honorifics such as "the Bard of Democracy". In my later early years in Camden, New Jersey, I was generally called "Mr. Whitman" by the press and new acquaintances, but those who knew me well continued to use "Walt".

In Whitman, Massachusetts, between Boston and Cape Cod, Ruth Graves Wakefield and her husband, Kenneth, transformed a modest Cape Cod-style house into the Toll House Inn in 1930 (The Toll House, Kenneth and Ruth Wakefield, Whitman, Massachusetts, 1930-1935, 2024). At a time when roadside dining options were limited and reliable hospitality was rare, the Toll House Inn rapidly became a regional landmark, serving as both a rest stop for travelers and a gathering place for the local community (Menu, “The Toll House Inn,” circa 1950, 2024). Despite the challenges of the Great Depression, the Wakefields opened their doors with determination, providing guests with warm meals, clean accommodations, and home-cooked desserts that encouraged visitors to linger. Ruth, a trained dietitian and graduate of Framingham State Normal School's household arts program, managed the kitchen with both precision and creativity. Her tall lemon meringue pies, rich Indian pudding, and especially the thin butterscotch nut cookies served with ice cream quickly gained acclaim among guests (Matte, 2023).In the late 1930s, most sources place the pivotal moment around 1937 or 1938, when Ruth Wakefield decided to modify her well-known cookie recipe (Rotondi, 2025). The origins of the chocolate chip cookie have been widely recounted; some details are drawn from Ruth's later interviews, while others have become part of popular legend (Michaud, 2013). Previously, she served a popular butter drop or butterscotch pecan icebox cookie, but she sought to create something new that would surprise her guests (Rotondi, 2025). According to the most widely accepted account, when she reached for baker's chocolate to melt into the dough, she discovered it was unavailable. Instead, she used a bar of Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate, which she chopped into small, irregular pieces with an ice pick. She incorporated these chocolate pieces and chopped walnuts into the batter, expecting the chocolate to melt and create a uniform chocolate cookie during baking (Michaud, 2013).Upon baking, Ruth observed that the cookies emerged golden and crisp at the edges as intended, but the chocolate pieces had not fully melted. Instead, the chocolate retained its shape, softening into creamy, molten pockets within the dough. This unexpected result produced a cookie that combined a tender, crisp texture with distinct bursts of chocolate. Guests at the Toll House Inn responded enthusiastically. Ruth named the new dessert Toll House Chocolate Crunch Cookies and began serving them regularly. Demand increased rapidly, prompting her to publish the recipe in the 1938 edition of her cookbook, Toll House Tried and True Recipes. Local newspapers soon featured the recipe, and home bakers throughout New England began replicating it, leading to a significant rise in sales of Nestlé's semi-sweet chocolate (Tucker, 2021).Full Content More Podcasts

Predicazione espositiva del Pastore Jonathan Whitman di Matteo capitolo 12 versetti da 38 a 42. Registrata presso il Centro Evangelico Battista di Perugia il 19 luglio 2026.Titolo del messaggio: "Cinque verità per chi cerca un ulteriore segno da Dio prima di credere"MATTEO 12 V38-4238 Allora alcuni scribi e farisei presero a dirgli: «Maestro, noi vorremmo vedere da te un segno». 39 Ma egli rispose loro: «Una generazione malvagia e adultera chiede un segno; segno non le sarà dato, se non il segno del profeta Giona. 40 Poiché, come Giona stette nel ventre del pesce tre giorni e tre notti, così il Figlio dell'uomo starà nel cuore della terra tre giorni e tre notti. 41 I Niniviti compariranno nel giudizio con questa generazione e la condanneranno, perché essi si ravvidero alla predicazione di Giona; ed ecco, qui c'è più che Giona! 42 La regina del mezzogiorno comparirà nel giudizio con questa generazione e la condannerà; perché ella venne dalle estremità della terra per udire la sapienza di Salomone; ed ecco, qui c'è più che Salomone!

“It's too easy to look back at sciences of the past and say they were all fools. The exact same thing is gonna happen two hundred years from now when people look back at us.” — Paul Stob on the lessons of phrenology Step right up. Over the road from P.T. Barnum's American Museum in 19th century New York stood the city's more metaphorical circus — the Phrenological Cabinet, where admission was free and you could hold a murderer's skull in your hand. After the Barnum museum, it was the second most popular show in town. Although back then phrenology — the supposed science of skull size and head bumps — wasn't seen as the province of tricksters or clowns. So who created this 19th century American obsession with skulls, who created the phrenology phenomenon? In his new book, Empire of Skulls, the Vanderbilt scholar Paul Stob tells the phrenology story through the wealthy Fowler family — Orson, Lorenzo, and Charlotte — who financed and promoted this American circus. It was the Fowlers, Stob explains, who shaped phrenology into the intellectual glue of 19th century American progress and convinced reformers like Walt Whitman, Susan B. Anthony, John Brown, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton of its social value. The appeal was self-improvement, that most American ideal. In Europe, your skull was your fate; in Fowler's America, you could supposedly reshape your brain like a bicep in order to grow new bumps. A gym for skulls. And, in P.T. Barnum fashion, it toured, bringing replica skull collections to the utopian communes of mid 19th century America. And in good (or bad) American fashion, this bunk often had a darker subtext with skulls pilfered from native burial mounds and, inevitably, a slaveholding phrenologist wing. Not everyone bought a ticket. Mark Twain visited Lorenzo Fowler's London depot incognito and was told his skull shape indicated an absence of humor. Three months later, he reappeared, this time as Twain, and got the reverse prognosis. But what finally killed phrenology wasn't Twain but the hitherto unparalleled bloodshed of the Civil War. Not even the Fowlers could glean much positive from the mountains of actual skulls at Gettysburg or Antietam. The circus had ended. Now it's the Fowlers who are the freaks. We gawk at them rather than their skulls. Step right up. The show must go on. Five Takeaways • The Intellectual Glue of American Reform. From the 1830s to the 1860s — the era of reform — practically every movement to improve the young republic was led by believers in phrenology: abolition, women's suffrage, temperance, prison and education reform. Whitman, Susan B. Anthony, John Brown, Stanton, and Mott were all sympathetic; Orson Fowler barnstormed Massachusetts with his Amherst friend Henry Ward Beecher, who swore by phrenology for the rest of his life; John Brown Jr. worked at the Fowlers' Phrenological Cabinet until Bleeding Kansas called him west. The reason was one word: improvement. Even the enslaved, the phrenologists argued, must be freed — because every human being deserves the chance to improve.• Curl Your Brain Like a Bicep. European phrenology said your skull was your fate. The Fowlers Americanized it: exercise a mental faculty, they taught, and the brain deposits new gray matter that literally pushes out the skull — self-improvement you could measure with calipers. Parents brought children for readings, returned years later, and found the head had grown just as prescribed: to the Fowlers, concrete proof. The ideal male head measured twenty-three inches around, the female twenty-two — women started in a different place, but nothing said they couldn't climb. And in 1843's Hereditary Descent, Orson made an argument radical for his century: that race mixing was a positive good for humanity.• Second Only to Barnum. For three decades the Fowlers' Phrenological Cabinet at Clinton Hall — free of charge, unlike the American Museum kitty-corner across the street — was the second most visited tourist attraction in New York City. Visitors could hold a murderer's skull and feel for themselves why he killed, or trace the bumps of statesmen and writers. The empire was literal: the global skull trade of the era, from Samuel Morton's Crania Americana to skulls pilfered from native burial mounds, stocked the shelves. The Fowlers were millionaires, not billionaires — and Orson spent his share on a sixty-room octagon mansion, flagship of the 500-odd octagon houses he inspired across America.• Twain's Two Visits — and the Birth of “Pseudoscience.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. said reading a brain through a skull was like reading the inside of a safe by feeling the knob — and coined the word “pseudoscience” specifically for the phrenologists. Mark Twain ran the experiment: visiting Lorenzo Fowler's London depot incognito, he was told his organ of mirthfulness was a divot; three months later, business card presented, it was off the charts. Stob still insists on calling phrenology a science — because that is how its era understood it, because it was more accurate than much of the competition, and because one of the fathers of American neurology emerged from the Fowlers' own circle.• We Are the Phrenologists Now. What killed phrenology was the Civil War: three decades of promising heaven on earth ran skull first into carts of actual skulls, and the utopia of self-improvement died on the battlefield. But the impulse never did. Phrenology, Stob argues, was self-help before the word existed — and its descendants fill the airport bookstore: astrology, Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram, the genetic ancestry kit, all of them, in his words, scientifically garbage yet enormously significant in people's lives. The uncharitable reading of the past is a trap. In two hundred years, Stob warns, they will look back at our sciences of the self exactly the way we look at the Fowlers.

Per questo essi stessi saranno i vostri giudici. 28 Ma se è con l'aiuto dello Spirito di Dio che io scaccio i demòni, è dunque giunto fino a voi il regno di Dio. 29 Oppure, come può uno entrare nella casa dell'uomo forte e rubargli la sua roba, se prima non lega l'uomo forte?

The Consummation of Praise Ryan Griffith Download I don't know about you, but I have always struggled with poetry. And by struggle I mean that I haven't particularly liked it. Most of the stuff I was introduced to in high school was the open-verse kind – no meter, no rhyme scheme. I'm sure if I was smarter or worked on it longer, I might find Whitman or Dickenson or Hughes illuminating. Perhaps I'm too simple, but for my lights good poetry is not mainly a puzzle to unlock. Let's try a relevant example for our sesquicentennial year. Maybe you know it.Listen my children, and you shall hear, of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. On the eighteenth of April in seventy-five hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year.Poetry is designed to be memorable and meaningful and to produce a certain kind of response.I love the ending:And so through the night went his cry of alarmTo every Middlesex village and farm,—A cry of defiance, and not of fear,A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,And a word that shall echo forevermore!For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,Through all our history, to the last,In the hour of darkness and peril and need,The people will waken and listen to hearThe hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,And the midnight message of Paul Revere.In April of 1860, Longfellow wrote Paul Revere's Ride as our nation stood on the precipice of Civil War. He wanted to remind a very divided country of an important story of courage and sacrifice from America's founding generation. And he longed to impact their affections — encouraging fellow abolitionists to take heart and to act with urgency and end the injustice of chattel slavery. That's what great poetry does: it captures a narrative in a memorable way — a way that communicates truth beautifully and awakens the reader's affections and actions. This is how Psalm 104 works. It is different than Psalm 8 (“you have set your glory above the heavens”) or Psalm 19 (“the heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaims his handiwork), because not only is Psalm 104 a poem with vivid, worship-evoking imagery, it is a poetic retelling of an important story: Genesis 1-3. It's literally a song—the Psalmist's cover of Moses's narrative account. And like Paul Revere's Ride, the retelling of God's work in Creation (vv2-30) communicates truth beautifully and awakens our affections and actions. It calls us (v1) to bless the Lord and (v31-35) fuels the consummation of that praise. Let's take this poem in those three steps. The call to praise (v1)The cause for praise (vv2-30)The consummation of praise (vv31-35)1. The Call to PraiseWhile the Hebrew text doesn't ascribe this Psalm to David, both the Greek translation of the Old Testament and the Dead Sea scrolls label this a Davidic Psalm. Especially because the Psalmist begins, as David did in 103, by calling on his soul: “Bless the Lord, O my soul.”David is telling himself, “slow down, shut off the music, put away the phone, and look – I mean really look.” This isn't just a looking with the eyes. As we heard, vv2-30 are full of vivid imagery – things that David certainly would have seen: lightning, storm clouds, the sea, the mountains; streams, birds, donkeys, and so on. But David is doing more than observing – he is lovingly turning over in his mind what he sees; pondering it; examining it in light of the story of creation. In verse 34 David calls this way of looking “meditation.”Verse 34, May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.We'll come back to this, but for the moment notice that the call to bless the Lord is grounded not only in what David sees but in who he sees by it. His meditation on God's work in Genesis 1-3 produces a delight that bubbles up at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the Psalm. 2. The CauseLet's turn to examine the cause for this delight. David goes back to Genesis 1 and 2 to give six reasons creation is a cause for blessing the Lord.Reason #1: God is great in the heavens (1b-4).Look at verses 1-4. Can you hear Genesis 1? In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God of was hovering over the waters. And God said “let there be light.” And there was light (Gen 1.1-3).And so David proclaims, God is clothed with splendor and majesty, robed in light. He hangs the stars and the planets. He establishes the atmosphere. He stores up the rain and builds his throne above the earth. He is swift and mighty as the wind and he bridles the great thunderclouds. The greatest forces of the universe are under his sovereign control: “he lays, he makes, he rides.” Reason #1 for praise, God is great in the heavens.But not only is God great in the heavens, he is also…Reason #2 supreme over the earth (5-9).Look at vv. 5-9 while I read Genesis 1. Can you hear the creation account? And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.We tend to call the world around us “nature” as though it is self-existing. But David attributes supremacy over the planet to God alone. It is a supernatural creation. You covered the earth with the waters. You spoke and they fled. The mountains and valleys took the places you assigned. You drew a line for the waters and said: “they shall not pass.” Reason #2, God is supreme over the earth.God is also…Reason #3, the giver of life-sustaining waters (10-18).Here David's song does variation on a theme. In an arid land like Israel, water was scarce. But God took care of that. You make the water appear out of nowhere. Springs to sustain your birds and animals. Even the mountaintops you provide for – bringing rain to water them. You cause the grass to grow. You made good plants for man to cultivate – grain for bread, grapes for wine. You provide for the animals and you gladden the heart of man. Just as Genesis 2 says, God is the giver of life-sustaining waters.Reason #4 God is maker of time (19-23).“Night and day,” David says, “they were your idea” On the fourth day, you made the sun and the moon to govern them. You even appointed that the beasts stalk their prey (which you provide) at night so that man can labor by day. What didn't you think of? You are the maker of time.David can't even get through his meditation on creation without erupting into praise. Look at verse 24:“O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.”The poet Gerard Manly Hopkins wrote, “the world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out like shining from shook foil.” Everywhere David looks, he sees God's beauty and excellence. It is as though he is saying, “Look at that! Isn't he amazing? Look at that! Isn't he majestic? Look at that! Isn't he wise! So David like a good songwriter, even puts in verse 24 as a bridge — pointing back at God's works in vv1-23 and pointing forward to God's creatures in vv25-30!Because…Reason #5 God is maker of the sea and its creatures (25-26).Even the Leviathan, which makes Job shiver in his boots, you made on Day Five so it could play in the sea. Since the waters are under your sovereign control, what once was a barrier is now a route for travel and trade. Isn't he something? God is the maker of the sea and its creatures.The whole account crescendos in the final reason David gives…Reason #6, God is creator and sustainer of all creatures (27-30).All these — the beasts and the birds, the plants and the trees, the whales and the wombat — they all look to you. You, God, are at the center of it all. When you give, when you open, when you hide, when you take away…all creation waits on you. You care for them. None escape your notice. Because you are the creator and sustainer of all things.So, David with Genesis in mind and the Spirit's poetic inspiration gives us six reasons creation should cause us to bless the Lord. God is great in the heavens, he is supreme over the earth, he is the giver of life-sustaining waters, he made and governs time, he oversees the oceans and its amazing creatures, and he is the creator and sustainer of all things. Creation displays his handiwork. All of it testifies to his power and divine nature. If we have eyes to see it, every blade of grass, every multi-colored sunset, every microscopic organism, every mighty beast, every mathematical equation shouts the glory of God. We inhabit a world “set on fire with praise.”No wonder David begins in v 1 by exclaiming: O YHWH, my God you are very great! In fact, the Hebrew might be better rendered – “you have become magnificent. You have clothed yourself with splendor and majesty.” Your works redound to your glory! Everything in the created order is a mirror reflecting back to God the wisdom and beauty and goodness that he is, himself. Lord, give us the eyes to see!So we've seen the call to praise (v1), David's six-fold cause for praise (vv1-30); now, thirdly, (vv31-35) the consummation of praise.3. The Consummation of Praise (31-35)All that David has considered now fuels his final refrain in verses 31-35:“May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works, who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke!” (vv31-32)Notice two striking things about this verse. First, it is a plea. “May the glory of the Lord endure forever. May the Lord rejoice in his works.” David feels God's greatness so deeply that his prayers line up with God's design. “Yes, God. You are glorious, and so may your glory be seen! May your people delight in you and all that you are.”But notice that second prayer in verse 31. “May the Lord rejoice in his works.” Not “May your people, rejoice in your works,” but “may the Lord rejoice.” God delights in his works. We know this, because that's God's refrain in Genesis: “And God saw that it was good.” The earth and seas. Good! The plants and the trees. Good! The moon, sun, and stars. Good! The creepy crawlies and the fish and the birds and the sea creatures and the great beasts and the livestock. Yes, Good! Man and woman, in my own image. Very good! God rejoices in his work because it reflects him. It shows off his manifold excellencies. All of creation simultaneously every moment of every day since God spoke the universe into existence declares what is true — that God is the most admirable, beautiful, wise, good, generous, glorious being in the universe. And we were created to share in his joy.This God-centeredness of God might throw us off balance. Is it off-putting that God, through David in Psalm 104, commands his own praise? C.S. Lewis at first thought that it seemed no different than a vain woman craving compliments. But listen to what he concluded: “…the most obvious fact about praise – whether of God or anything – [had] strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise…The world rings with praise – lovers praising their mistresses, readers their favorite poet, walkers praising the countryside, players praising their favorite game – praise of weather, wines, dishes, actors [and so on]….I had not noticed…that just as men spontaneously praise whatever they value, so they spontaneously urge us to join them in praising it: ‘isn't she lovely? Wasn't it glorious? Don't you think that magnificent?' The Psalmists in telling everyone to praise God are doing what all men do when they speak of what they care about. My whole more general difficulty about the praise of God depended on my absurdly denying to us as regards the supremely valuable what we delight to do – what indeed we can't help doing – about everything else we value.”David praises what is supremely valuable. He does what we are made and delight to do. He rejoices in God being God. And sings about it!“I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the Lord.” (vv33-34) But the singing must not stop with him. Look how he ends his song. “Bless the Lord O my soul. Praise the Lord!” (35b)David moves beyond calling his soul to bless the Lord to summoning all people to do the same. “Praise the Lord” is the first use of “hallelujah” in the Psalter. It is a you-plural not a you-singular. Northern English speakers don't have a category for this, but my eastern Kentucky relatives would say it right, “Praise the Lord, y'all. All y'all.” And that's because, as Lewis continues, calling others to praise God “doesn't merely express the enjoyment, it is its appointed consummation” — it brings praise to its fullest completion. David's joy is made complete by calling us to praise the Lord by us joining in that praise. That is what this Psalm is for. Like Longfellow's Paul Revere's Ride, Psalm 104 captures an important story in a memorable way. It reminds us of something that really matters. But ultimately, it does something to us.Don Paterson says that when a poet writes a poem he's creating a little machine that when operated by a reader, recreates in them the experience the poem is trying to preserve. When we operate Psalm 104, it evokes our joy in God. It summons us to express that joy in praise and blessing. And it calls us to consummate that joy by sharing it with others. But neither David nor us can know this joy without addressing the most serious problem.Let sinners be consumed from the earth and let the wicked be no more! (v 35a)At first, I found this an odd thing for David to say in his great crescendo of praise. But he is reminding us that Genesis 3 comes after Genesis 1 and 2. Human beings were made to receive creation as a gift and enjoy and rejoice in what it tells us about the one for whom we were made. But we turned the gold into idols halfway to Canaan. We worship created things rather than the Creator. While creation shouts that we were made for joy in God, so often we say “that's nice” and go back to scrolling on our devices. David longs for a day when this outrage will finally be addressed. That sin that he sees traces of in verse 29. Paul tells us that even creation has been subjected to futility because of our rebellion. Things are not the way that they should be. The Lord's SupperAnd that is what brings us to the table. Because in the fullness of time, God himself came to address that rebellion. He entered into his own creation to free us from enslavement to inferior joys. To save us from the penalty our idolatry justly deserves. In mercy and kindness, to restore to us the fullness of his joy; His life for ours; our sin for his righteousness that we might be to praise of his glory. That is what we celebrate here. Maybe in this moment you can't bless the Lord because you haven't given up your idols; you haven't put all your hope in Jesus for the forgiveness of sin. Friend there is no better time than now. Jesus says to you, I am the bread of life, whoever comes to me shall not hunger and whoever believes in me shall never thirst (Jn 6.35). Go to him.

Former Illini guard Kylan Boswell also continues to build momentum in NBA Summer League, delivering his best performance yet for the Charlotte Hornets with an efficient scoring night, strong rebounding, and another display of his all-around game. Later, Cooper O'Kelly joins the show to break down why transfer forward David Mirkovic is already receiving national attention as a preseason Wooden Award candidate, what makes his game unique, and why expectations continue to rise for Illinois heading into the 2026-27 season.
Eunice Whitman and her boyfriend, Justine Paul, argued on a busy foot path crisscrossing the tundra in Bethel, Alaska. A few hours later, four teenagers stumbled upon Eunice's naked body stretched out on the ground. Someone had stabbed her multiple times and slashed her throat. Then, they'd folded her clothes and left them a short distance from her body. The police quickly arrested Justine Paul for Eunice's murder. When they found a backpack full of bloody clothes in his home, and footprints in the mud near Eunice's body resembling the tread on Paul's shoes, the prosecutors raced the case to the grand jury, which indicted Paul on first-degree murder. Unfortunately, this was the only time anything was ever done quickly in this case. When the blood test results from Paul's stained clothes came back from the lab, they surprised the police and the prosecution, but the state refused to drop charges, and Paul languished in jail for seven years waiting for his case to go to trial. ______________ Now Available!

“No sink or nothing, right? You're just gonna go free ball it…” 1989 was the very first year EVER that The Recording Academy recognized hard rock and metal music with the “Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental”. And other than the completely insulting “slap in the face” by The Recording Academy to Metallica (think Will Smith & Chris Rock, but even more childish, petty, and completely unnecessary), there were no other Big Four albums or happenings in 1989. (SIDEBAR: Y'know, maybe it's just speculation, conspiracy theory, or just good old-fashioned karma in action, but the way Metallica “lost” that Grammy, it's like they were literally “deleted from the mix” of nominees, so to speak. Not unlike a certain bass player from a certain mix on a certain album. Moving on…) “Just gonna raw dog it…” As we are all aware, metal (especially thrash) is far more than just The Big Four, and 1989 was actually quite an excellent year for metal.

Geoff Whitman has turned two lifelong passions - wine and photography - into an extraordinary career that spans vineyards and world tours. In this lively conversation, he shares stories from the road as a photographer with Pearl Jam, including the creative moments behind the camera, and his very different kinds of creative work with Lloyd Cellars. His enthusiasm for music, travel, and storytelling shines through as he reflects on the experiences that have shaped his unique journey
From Marian Anderson's 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial to Marvin Gaye singing the National Anthem at the NBA Finals, the theme of patriotism can be heard throughout African American music. Benjamin Ross offers selections from this rich musical heritage. Also: Ann Petry's The Street, published in 1946, was the first million-selling novel by an African American author. Keith Clark says Petry deserves to be in the pantheon of other great American writers like James Baldwin or Toni Morrison. Later in the show: Poet Walt Whitman in 1862 went searching for his brother George, who had been wounded in a Civil War battle. Mara Scanlon and Brady Earnhart say Whitman was so moved by the carnage he found that he worked as a nurse for the rest of the war. Also: While Edgar Allan Poe is the master of the macabre, Jerome McGann says Poe was more charming and humorous than his famous dark fiction suggests.

In “The 250th Episode” | Episode 244 of The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast, the crew celebrates the week of America's 250th birthday by proudly naming their 244th episode “The 250th Episode,” because math has never been part of the brand promise. The show opens with the usual BLC ceremony: a little confusion, some Johnny Carson nostalgia, Allan being introduced from a legally safe distance, and an attempted national anthem moment that gets shut down almost immediately. Parker explains that this episode is tied to America's big 250th anniversary, or season, or whatever it is when a country has been running too long and still somehow has not been canceled. To honor the occasion, Fred brings what he calls “250 four facts” about things that happened on July 4th. The facts begin with the obvious one — America declaring independence in 1776 — before moving into the Erie Canal beginning construction in 1817. Fred explains the canal with just enough confidence to sound educational and just enough uncertainty to remind everyone this is not PBS. Next up is Walt Whitman publishing Leaves of Grass in 1855, which leads the crew into a confused discussion about whether Walt Whitman was connected to chocolate samplers, poetry, or possibly national boredom. Fred even reads part of a Whitman poem, and Allan reacts like a man watching a hostage situation unfold in verse. The historical tour continues with Shaka Zulu, the British, the Battle of Ulundi, and a few deeply American misunderstandings about non-American history. Then Fred covers the first Trans-Pacific telegraph cable, which somehow becomes a Teddy Roosevelt joke almost immediately. To round things out, Fred adds NASA's Pathfinder Rover landing on Mars on July 4, 1997, while Parker remembers getting “fat white guy wasted,” which feels historically important in its own way. Then the episode reaches peak patriotism when Abraham Lincoln himself appears to deliver a BLC-style Gettysburg Address about podcasts, farts, freedom, and stinky bananas. It is emotional, ridiculous, and exactly the kind of presidential moment this country deserves. #blcpodcast #podcastingforthepeople #funny #podcast #greenvillesc #scpodcast #yeahthatgreenville Listen at: https://americasfavoritepodcast.com Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/blcpodcast/ Check us out on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blcpodcast/ Buy Fred and Allan Beer: https://www.patreon.com/blcworld

Christian sex educator Mary Whitman Ortiz joins Misty to talk about shame, God's design for intimacy, and the freedom waiting on the other side. There are conversations the church has been slow to have — and sexual intimacy is one of them. In this episode, I sit down with Mary Whitman Ortiz, a Christian sex educator and certified relationship coach, to talk about what God actually intended when he designed intimacy between husband and wife. This is a conversation about shame, freedom, and what it looks like to come alive in places that have been quiet for a long time. Mary shares her own story — a 26-year marriage that ended in divorce, the discovery of pornography's long shadow, and the slow, intentional journey back to wholeness. She walks through what emotional safety in marriage really means, why women need to give their “mental yes” long before 10:30 at night, and how studying the original (God's design) is always more powerful than focusing on the counterfeit. Whether you grew up in purity culture, have never had a safe conversation about this, or just sense there is more joy available in your marriage than you've been living in — this episode was made for you. Mary's freedom is contagious. And it is absolutely possible.

Allora essi, per poterlo accusare, fecero a Gesù questa domanda: «È lecito fare guarigioni in giorno di sabato?» 11 Ed egli disse loro: «Chi è colui tra di voi che, avendo una pecora, se questa cade in giorno di sabato in una fossa, non la prenda e la tiri fuori? 12 Certo un uomo vale molto più di una pecora! È dunque lecito far del bene in giorno di sabato». 13 Allora disse a quell'uomo: «Stendi la mano». Ed egli la stese, e la mano ritornò sana come l'altra.

I tuoi discepoli fanno quello che non è lecito fare di sabato». 3 Ma egli rispose loro: «Non avete letto quello che fece Davide, quando ebbe fame, egli insieme a coloro che erano con lui? 4 Come egli entrò nella casa di Dio e come mangiarono i pani di presentazione che non era lecito mangiare né a lui né a quelli che erano con lui, ma solamente ai sacerdoti? 5 O non avete letto nella legge che di sabato i sacerdoti nel tempio violano il sabato e non ne sono colpevoli? 6 Ora io vi dico che c'è qui qualcosa di più grande del tempio. 7 Se sapeste che cosa significa: "Voglio misericordia e non sacrificio", non avreste condannato gli innocenti; 8 perché il Figlio dell'uomo è signore del sabato».

Today we think of land as the paradigmatic example of property, while in the past, the paradigmatic example was often a slave. In this seminal work, James Q. Whitman asserts that there is no natural form of ownership. Whitman dives deep into the long Western history of this transformation in the legal imagination – the transformation from the ownership of humans and other living creatures to the ownership of land. This change extended over many centuries, coming to fruition only on the threshold of the modern era. It brought with it profound changes, not only in the way we understand ownership but also in the way we understand the state. Its most dramatic consequence arrived in the nineteenth century, with the final disappearance of the lawful private ownership of humans, which had been taken for granted for thousands of years. James Q. Whitman is the Ford Foundation Professor of Comparative and Foreign Law at Yale Law School. He earned his B.A. and J.D. from Yale University and Law School and also holds an M.A. in European History from Columbia University and a Ph.D. in Intellectual History from the University of Chicago. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

In this compelling episode of John Solomon Reports, we delve into the latest developments surrounding accountability and the ongoing investigations into government misconduct. FBI Director Kash Patel hints at imminent indictments related to the weaponization of government, dating back to the controversial Russia collusion case. We explore the implications of these potential indictments, especially regarding the 2019 impeachment of President Donald Trump, which is now being scrutinized for its legitimacy and political bias.Senator Rick Scott of Florida joins us to announce his groundbreaking legislation aimed at expunging the 2019 impeachment vote against Trump, marking a historic move in American politics. This resolution seeks to address the perceived illegitimacy of the impeachment process, setting a precedent that could reshape the political landscape.In the second segment, we hear from Congressman Rob Wittman of Virginia, who is actively campaigning against a proposed constitutional amendment that threatens to gerrymander the state. Whitman shares his insights on the importance of fair representation and the potential fallout of partisan redistricting, emphasizing the need for voter engagement to preserve the integrity of Virginia's electoral maps.As the episode unfolds, we also examine the fallout from the Ukraine impeachment saga, revealing new evidence that challenges the narratives presented during the impeachment trial. A recent Rasmussen Reports poll indicates a growing belief among Americans that government officials acted unlawfully to create a false impression of wrongdoing by Trump, further complicating the historical narrative surrounding the impeachment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Last week, the White House released its budget proposal for fiscal year 2027, featuring an increase of 42% in defense spending to $1.5 trillion and a 10% decrease in non-defense spending to $660 billion. Specifically, the White House requested the budget to increase the capacity of the Navy, give pay raises to troops, resupply munitions, invest in critical resources, and build a “Golden Dome” missile defense system. The administration characterized the non-defense spending it had identified to cut as part of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and “woke programs” that drive government waste.
