    Podcast Summary

    • Allergy relief at Walmart's convenience, Political primaries in MichiganJanice finds relief from allergy symptoms with Walmart's online pickup/delivery, Michigan primaries see Trump, Biden face challenges, Biden suggests potential ceasefire in Gaza, Immigration remains a contentious issue, Nikki Haley continues Republican race, Biden faces tests from unions, Arab American groups

      Janice, who suffers from severe sneezing attacks during allergy season, can quickly and easily obtain over-the-counter allergy relief through Walmart's online pickup or delivery service. This convenience allows her to avoid prolonged suffering. Meanwhile, in politics, Michigan's presidential primaries are taking place today, with Donald Trump looking to extend his Republican primary wins and Joe Biden facing challenges from within his own party over his support for Israel's actions in Gaza. Additionally, President Biden has suggested a potential ceasefire in Gaza could begin by the weekend. Immigration continues to be a significant issue in the election, with both Trump and Biden planning visits to the southern border. On the Republican side, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley remains in the race despite losing in South Carolina, offering an alternative to voters. On the Democratic side, Biden faces tests of his support among union workers and Arab American groups.

    • Progress towards Israel-Palestine ceasefire, US Supreme Court considers social media regulations, Hungary approves Sweden's NATO membershipIsrael and Palestine are making progress towards a ceasefire during Ramadan, but hostage negotiations are ongoing. The US Supreme Court may allow social media companies to regulate content, impacting free speech. Hungary approved Sweden's NATO membership, expanding the alliance.

      Significant progress is being made towards a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine conflict, with the hope of a truce in place by next Monday during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. However, negotiations for the release of hostages held by Hamas are ongoing, and Israeli officials have not confirmed an agreement. Meanwhile, the US Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of state laws regulating social media platforms, with most justices leaning towards allowing companies to moderate content on their platforms. This decision could have major implications for the upcoming presidential election and the future of free speech online. Additionally, Hungary's parliament approved Sweden's bid to join NATO, removing the final obstacle for Sweden to become the alliance's 32nd member. This comes after Finland joined NATO last year in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

    • Sweden's NATO membership and IVF concerns in FloridaSweden's NATO entry could bolster Baltic Sea security vs Russia, but Florida bill on embryo protections may hinder IVF treatments

      Sweden's potential membership in NATO could strengthen the alliance's position in the Baltic Sea and send a strong message to Russia during the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, a bill in Florida aimed at granting new protections to embryos has been put on hold due to concerns it could impact IVF treatments and potentially halt the procedures. Meanwhile, a powerful storm front is sweeping across the US, bringing hot dry air, wildfires, severe thunderstorms, and widespread snow. Additionally, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx announced that tuition will be free for students starting in August, thanks to a $1 billion donation. This donation could make a medical education more accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds who might not have been able to afford it otherwise.

    A summer road trip suggestion

    A summer road trip suggestion

    You can catch up on today's seven most important and interesting stories by checking out The 7 newsletter on this Juneteenth holiday. We'll be back with our regular show on Thursday. In the meantime, we're bringing you an idea for a summer road trip listen. "The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop" from The Washington Post just won a Peabody award and is a compelling investigation seven-part series into how the U.S. fits into a 40-year-old Caribbean mystery.


    Grenada’s Black revolutionary leader, Maurice Bishop, was executed in a coup in 1983, along with seven others. The whereabouts of their remains are unknown. “The Empty Grave of Comrade Bishop” delves into the revolutionary history of Grenada, why the missing remains still matter and the role the U.S. government played in shaping the fate of the island nation.

    Episode 20: The [Un]Sanctioned Citizen Podcast

    Episode 20:  The [Un]Sanctioned Citizen Podcast

    We are making preparations for the budding of the [Un]Sanctioned Citizen podcast at Callin.com.

    https://www.callin.com/user/unsanctioned_citizen

    3/13 UPDATE:  To no real surprise to anyone your Host admits to oversecuritized microphone settings.  I liken it to hiding a safe key code so well even you cannot find it.  So until the microphone and other hyper-private settings are managed, I am moving forward with old school guest-talk interview formatting, to post right here at Podomatic.  

    We really like Callin because you can have a panel of guests and issue commmentators on for a discuss and then open the phone partition to take caller questions and frame the discussion. 

    Callin is going to be awesome because you can produce Town Halls and side bar public input comments on issues where say, Zoom locks you out of US City Hall meetings. Meetings where no one is admitting the public in-person to deliver comments and everyone is still wearing masks. This models as an excuse to not serve and not answer the public, yet still tax us for those services.  [If this is you, Callin.com.]

    We needed a port in a storm of phone applications hang ups. So we are posting the flagship content here.  It's going to require a visit to the phone service to unlock some of the microphone applications options.  You cannot yet upload static mp3 files to Callin, yet!  While it would be cool to drop in cutaways from prior recordings, I think the point is to have an open dialogue.  It's not just for you to talk but for others to talk as well.

    There is currently no Callin phone schedule to date.  I will be updating this post with some air-times.  We may have to experiment with air-times that are going to work for other people to listen in and participate.  So what may happen is we have one Callin with a Guest for a good while, semi-longform. Think midi vs maxi in airtime length. The reason is we want other people to get on and talk.  From there, I will just have the Guest call back in. Then we can take some calls. 

    So here is an example of what it might look like:

    ROOM TITLE: "GOOGLE  SHOOTS DOWN SPACEX SATELLITE, COMMENTARY BY #1 NERD EVER".
    It lasts for approximately 30 minutes.  We announce a move to  the "Green Room Discussion".  We end this room and start another room, titled "[Un]Sanctioned Green Room with #1 NERD EVER".

    WHAT YOU WOULD DO:
     
    1) Get a Callin profile using a phone number of choice.  If you want to use a burner number you can.  There are ways to do it with the Burner app, but just choose a phone you can use that Callin will like and accept for either single or multiple uses.
    2) Enable your phone and your settings to allow access to your microphone.  You can revoke access for privacy later.  This is so if you want to call in on Callin, you can actually talk.
    3) I'll do my best to screen for people I know vs. complete strangers. Developed relations with my show increases your chances dramatically that you can speak.  I am still learning content moderation policies and options as a Callin talker. 
    4) Invite me to your show so I can drop in and thank you for stopping by at a later time AND HAVE FUN!

    Destroying Society: Why Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far... | Konstantin Kisin Pt 1

    Destroying Society: Why Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far... | Konstantin Kisin Pt 1
    You should be aware of social inequalities that perpetuate injustice, but where does awareness cross the line and potentially become harmful to you and the society you’re part of? Konstantin Kisin is a comedian, social commentator and podcast host of the show TRIGGERnometry which celebrates freedom of speech. He’s had guest on such as Bill Maher and Ben Shapiro while tackling the harder conversations around woke culture, war, and highly sensitive politics most people avoid.  Konstantin has been named Jewish comedian of the year and has played at some of the UK’s biggest comedy clubs. In this two part episode Konstantin is discussing woke culture, the idea that victimhood sells and is therefore incentivized to younger people. Tom and Konstantin explore the Western culture values that should be preserved and the danger of a toxic culture that rather complain about injustices that actually go to work on finding real solutions and fixing problems/ The idea of trading things that work for ideas that merely sound good is discussed quite a bit and it’s influenced by Thomas Sowell’s quote from his book Is Reality Optional, “much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.” Follow Konstantin Kisin: Website: http://konstantinkisin.com/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/KonstantinKisin  Podcast: https://www.triggerpod.co.uk/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/konstantinkisin/  SPONSORS: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
