Kenya and Tanzania
The two most stereotypical African countries. Thanks, The Lion King. The two countries are among the most populous countries in Africa.
Kenyans and Tanzanians have a special bond. They’re like brothers. Kenyans often travel to and even move to Tanzania. Tanzanians often travel to and even move to Kenya. Often when outsiders think of the entire continent of Africa, images of Kenya and Tanzania first come to mind. They are the gateways to the continent, and they both have a bright future.

#supremecourtcases #supremecourtbriefs #supremecourt
Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission highlighted the tensions between religious freedom and anti-discrimination laws. More accurately, it highlighted the tensions between Christians and the LGBTQ+ community. Despite all the progress the LGBTQ+ community has made in recent decades, it’s a community that millions of Americans still refuse to accept.
While Charlie Craig and David Mullins never liked the spotlight and have kept a low profile ever since this decision, Jack Phillips has become somewhat of an activist. He later got in trouble for breaking the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act again for refusing to bake a cake for a transgender person. On January 26, 2023, Phillips lost that case in the Colorado Court of Appeals.
While the Court said that gay couples still should have civil rights protections under the laws and the Constitution, religious and even philosophical objections to same-sex marriage are protected forms of “expression.” That said, this decision was narrow. The Court did not address the broader question of whether or not businesses had a constitutional right to discriminate against same-sex couples. Still, critics said this decision could lead to further discrimination against marginalized groups under the guise of religious freedom.

The United States Congress makes laws at the federal level. It’s the legislature of the federal government of the country. They meet in this cute little building, the U.S. Capitol. Members are directly elected by citizens in their home parts of the country.
But did you know that Congress was bi?
Bicameral, which means it’s separated into two groups, and those two groups, are the House of Representatives and the Senate
At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, one big debate broke out between delegates of states with larger populations and delegates of states with smaller populations. The debate was over how many representatives each state would have in Congress. Delegates from larger population states argued that, since their states contributed proportionally more in taxes and resources, they should enjoy proportionally much more representation in Congress. Delegates from smaller states argued that, since they were afraid of having their voices ignored, all states should be equally represented in Congress. Thankfully, Founding Father Dudes Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth came to the rescue. They created what today is commonly referred to as The Great Compromise, and it called for a bicameral federal legislature- an upper house to provide equal representation for each state, and a lower house to provide proportional representation based on a state’s population. On July 4, 1787 others at the convention got on board…I’m not joking…it was on that day that many of the delegates came around to Sherman and Ellsworth’s idea, and on July 16th the delegates officially adopted it…by a margin of one, single vote. Without that vote, there probably wouldn’t be a Constitution today.
So that’s why there are two houses of Congress. But both are quite different. In this video, I’m going to compare the House to the Senate, with the help of my friend and fellow teacher Mr. Wernimont.

Memphis and Nashville
Two of the biggest cities in the entire Southeastern United States, and the biggest two cities in Tennessee
Based on my research and after visiting both cities recently, I’ve noticed that Nashville seems to be viewed as the city of Tennessee’s future and Memphis? Well, Memphis seems to be in the rear-view mirror more these days. I think that’s crazy. Memphis is one of the most unique cities in the country, and it’s a dang tragedy that folks are forgetting about its charm. So yeah, sure Nashville is amazing, but don’t sleep on Memphis, too. It has a lot that Nashville doesn’t, and the two cities definitely complement each other well.
Which is better? Memphis and Nashville? Let me know by screaming out your window or via messenger pigeon. Or, ya know, comment below…if you want me to actually get the message. Also, a lot of that footage you saw was filmed by my family and I so heck yeah. We were in both cities last spring and had a grand ol’ time. Thanks for watching!

In re Gault was a huge case because it expanded 14th Amendment protections to juvenile defendants. Kids must get the same rights as adults! It dramatically changed the entire juvenile system across the country. After this case, judges could no longer randomly and unfairly give out punishments at juvenile delinquency proceedings. For the first time in American history, the Court clearly said kids deserve constitutional protections, too.

#truth #medialiteracy #epistemology
One of the best places to figure out the truth is a courtroom trial. I recently served on a jury, and I was amazed at how we worked together to attempt to critically think to find the truth with the limited evidence we had. In deliberations, we relied HEAVILY on corroboration since we mostly just had witness testimonies to go off of. We also heard testimony from experts who listed their credentials-experts who had different conclusions about the same evidence. Yeah my brain got a lot of exercise that week.
But even trials have lots of manipulation. Lawyers, in particular, are EXTREMELY skilled at manipulating juries.
Heck, even some witnesses are good at manipulating us. It can be tough in the courtroom not to let our emotions get in the way of only looking at the evidence. But hey, just as much as we are logical creatures, we’re also emotional creatures.
In fact, when it comes to emotional issues that tap into our values, beliefs, and identity, we often ditch logic and confirmation bias takes over. Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out information that confirms or supports our prior values, beliefs or identity. In fact, when we encounter information that goes AGAINST our values, beliefs, or identity, it hurts. That pain we feel when this happens is called cognitive dissonance. Brain scans even show that the part of our brains that is activated during a physical threat is the same part activated when someone attacks our values, beliefs, or identity.
Finding out if something is true or not is a process. A constant process that will continue for the rest of your life. And it’s a painful process. Critical thinking actually kinda hurts, but, as with most things, the more we practice it the easier it gets. Heck, you may already be good at it, you just never realized it.
It’s best to think of knowledge existing on a spectrum. On one end of the spectrum is absolute certainty. On the other end is complete cluelessness. Almost all truth is in between.
We like to think something is true or false. But almost always it’s somewhere in between.

#andrewjackson #presidents #americanhistory
Known for his fiery personality and for being the first president to represent the “common man,” he single handedly changed American politics forever. For better or for worse. Nah, actually I’d say mostly for better. Sometimes we need outsiders in there to shake things up and stick it to the elites, and Jackson indeed was a champion for the underdog. Well, the white underdogs. Hey, it was still progress. And folks forget that Jackson, even though he WAS one of the elites by the time he ran for President, truly was a rags to riches story. He was born in poverty and rose up, the first President to represent the somewhat so-called American Dream. Jackson never forgot his humble upbringing, and his populist message and commanding leadership style helped shape the American democratic ideals that many of us take for granted today. That all said, critics called him a demagogue who ignored the law when it was convenient.
Sure, he was terrifying. He was racist….and a little crazy. But I think the United States ultimately ended up on a better path because of him.

#supremecourtbriefs #supremecourt #supremecourtcases
Chisholm v. Georgia is the first historically significant Supreme Court case...the first one that truly had big implications. Now, even though the 11th Amendment squashed this Supreme Court decision, Chisholm continued fighting to get his estate reimbursed for the rest of his life. After he died in 1810, Farquhar’s son-in-law Peter Trezevant kept the case alive on behalf of the estate. Finally, in November 1847, the Georgia General Assembly passed a bill to pay back the money owed to Farquhar’s estate. By that time, Trezevant was 79 years old and the family had been fighting to get their owed money for 58 years.

#supremecourtbriefs #scotus #supremecourt
San Antonio, Texas
March 10, 1992
Alfonso Lopez, Jr., a senior at Edison High School, brings a concealed .38 caliber revolver into the school. Although the gun is not loaded, he also brings bullets for it. After receiving an anonymous tip about the gun and bullets, school authorities confront Lopez about it, man. Lopez admitted to having the gun and bullets, but claimed that he brought them to school just to sell to someone. It’s not like he was gonna, ya know, SHOOT anyone at school. Like that ever happens, anyway amirite? But yeah, it didn’t matter that Alfonso just brought the gun and bullets to SELL to someone. It was ILLEGAL to do that, and frankly…terrifying to know a student brought such a dangerous weapon to school. He was charged with breaking a Texas law that banned guns on school property.
However, the next day there was good news and bad news for Lopez. The good news was that the charges against him were dropped. The bad news was that the only reason why the charges were dropped was because now he was charged for breaking a federal law, the Gun Free School Zones Act, a law that made it a federal offense for anyone to bring a gun into a school zone.
In the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Lopez’s lawyers argued that the Gun Free School Zones Act was actually unconstitutional. According to them, there was nothing in the Constitution about controlling what happened at public schools. Therefore, the Tenth Amendment applied. However, the U.S. District court disagreed, ruling that the Gun Free School Zones Act was a “constitutional exercise of Congress’ well defined power to regulate activities in and affecting commerce, and the ‘business’ of elementary, middle and high schools…affects interstate commerce.” In other words, the U.S. District Court argued that the Commerce Clause of the Constitution gave Congress the power to regulate guns in public schools, and their rationale was that, since guns in schools led to gun violence, people might be reluctant to travel through these areas from other states. The district court added that the disruptions in schools caused by weapons being there resulted in a less educated population, which could negatively affect commerce in the future.
Well, Lopez and his lawyers thought this was quite a reach, to say the least. After Lopez was found guilty and sentenced to six months in prison, followed by two years of probation, he appealed the case to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that the Commerce Clause didn’t apply to guns in schools. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Lopez and reversed his conviction. After this, the federal government got the Supreme Court to weigh in.

Calgary and Edmonton
The biggest two cities in Alberta, Canada
Heck, two of the biggest in ALL of Canada- I’m not joshing you. Calgary is the 4th biggest and Edmonton is the 5th. About 300 kilometers apart, or a 3 hour drive.
Combined they make up more than 70% of the population of Alberta and 8% of the population of Canada.
Both are part of the Calgary–Edmonton Corridor, the most urbanized part of Alberta and one of the wealthiest regions in the country.
And there’s a rivalry. Oh you better believe there’s some trash talkin’ goin’ on between the two. The rivalry even has a name- the “Battle of Alberta,” although that’s, more often than not, just used to describe the sports rivalries of the two cities. Like the football rivalry between the Edmonton Elks and the Calgary Stampeders. Or one of the greatest hockey rivalries in history between the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers. Heck, there’s even a rivalry between the major universities in each city, the University of Alberta, which is in Edmonton, and the University of Calgary. (yeah that’s in Calgary)
So perhaps to fan the flames of this rivalry even further, I am making this completely fact-based comparison video so you can make up your OWN mind about which city is better, ok?

#militaryindustrialcomplex #ushistory #usmilitary
40% of all military spending around the entire world is done by the United States. It spends more money on its military than the next ten countries COMBINED.
Since World War Two, the United States has spent the most money on its military.
And that’s because military spending is one of the few things that tends to be bipartisan, meaning…both Republicans and Democrats in Congress generally are cool with this massive spending, despite one recent poll showing that 35% of Americans say the United States spends TOO MUCH on its military.
So why DOES the United States spend so much on its military?
First of all, because the United States is often the world’s police.
The American military controls around 750 military bases in at least 80 countries around the world. It has troops in as many as 150 countries. Some of these are countries where it has military bases might surprise you. For example, did you know it has a military base in Honduras? Also, did you know it has 120 bases in Japan alone? In recent years, the United States has spent tens of billions of dollars maintaining JUST THOSE MILITARY BASES IN JAPAN. The governments of all these countries where there’s American military bases are mostly cool with it. After all, they’re getting extra security with an American military presence, and often for free. However, as documented in this classic book, Blowback by the late Chalmers Johnson, many of the local residents DON’T want foreign troops in their backyards.
Regardless, for at least 75 years, most of the world has just accepted and even welcomed the fact that the United States is often the world’s police force, the country that seemingly steps in to put out all the fires in the world. Not only that, but it has formal treaties that make it obligated to step for the defense of at least 51 countries around the world.
Others argue that a huge American military budget is necessary to “spread democracy” or “defeat authoritarianism” around the world. Notice how I put those in quotes since often the American government is, in reality, often just preserving authoritarianism and hurting democracy around the world through its military actions. Even others say a huge military budget is needed to counter the growing military threat and aggression of Russia and China. Then again, many argue that the growing military threat and aggression of Russia and China is BECAUSE of American military interventionism around the globe, but ya know…
However, there’s another, much more nefarious, reason why the United States government spends so much gosh darn money on its military, and that’s the military industrial complex.

This video is about a war you probably don’t know much about. If you’re an American, you likely didn’t hear much about it in American history class, and that’s likely because it’s a war that the American government has preferred you just…uh…not remember. You see, this war makes the United States look bad. Very bad, as a matter of fact. It’s a war that some historians say killed as many as one million people. A war in which American soldiers committed all kinds of atrocities, including pillage, torture, rape, and the massacre of civilians. A war of imperialism, in which the United States wanted to control the Philippines to exploit its resources and use it to expand trade throughout Asia.
The Philippine-American War was objectively a disaster for everyone involved.
It was a painful reminder that imperialism often just leads to the horrible subjugation of a people. In fact, this war single handedly turned Americans against imperialism, and even got the once staunch imperialist Teddy Roosevelt questioning himself. The war highlighted the importance of respecting the sovereignty of other nations. It also exposed the terrible racism toward Filipinos. American soldiers done messed up with their treatment of them.

Haiti and The Dominican Republic
The two countries that share the island of Hispaniola, the most populous island and second-largest island in the West Indies. What are the West Indies? Well, all these islands in or near the Caribbean Sea, for real. Because that Christopher Columbus dude, who was the first European to lead a voyage to the islands, thought he was near India when he first explored them, other Europeans began to call them the “West Indies” to distinguish the islands from India.
Anyway, Haiti is located on the western part of Hispaniola and The Dominican Republic is located on the eastern part of it. This 242-mile (391 km) border separates the two countries. Seen from space, this border is quite dramatic. On the Haitian side, you can see massive deforestation. On the Dominican side, forests remain.
While both countries have a lot in common, today a lot of people tend to focus on their many differences.

#rickroll #internethistory #rickrolling
Rickrolling is a bait and switch prank, almost always using a disguised hyperlink that leads to the music video for Rick Astley’s hit song, “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Usually there is some sort of build up to get you to click on the link. Like, “look who was in the news!” I mean, it’s difficult not to be tempted to click on something like that. So you do, and "Never Gonna Give You Up" welcomes you. Here is the story of how that all got started.

#supremecourt #supremecourtbriefs #scotus
Lochner v. New York, believe it or not, has never officially been overturned, and remains one of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions of all time. The case marked a shift in how the Court began to interpret laws that regulated working conditions. After this, the Court increasingly struck down both state and federal laws that regulated labor. More broadly speaking, this case marked the beginning of a period that lasted more than three decades in which the Court generally erred more on the side of individual freedom instead of government power. In fact, historians today even call this period the “Lochner Era.” Crazy enough, the Lochner Era overlapped with the Progressive Era, a time when reformers themselves worked overtime to get rid of social and economic injustice. These reformers viewed the Lochner decision as one that simply just favored employers over employees.

#impeachment #politicalscience #politicalhistory
Here is a list of all the impeachment trials in American history, along with their dates:
William Blount (1798) - July 7 to January 14, 1799
John Pickering (1804) - January 2 to March 12, 1804
Samuel Chase (1804) - December 7, 1804 to March 1, 1805
James H. Peck (1830) - May 3 to January 31, 1831
West H. Humphreys (1862) - May 26 to June 26, 1862
Andrew Johnson (1868) - March 5 to May 26, 1868
Charles Swayne (1905) - December 13, 1904 to February 27, 1905
Robert Archbald (1912) - July 9 to January 13, 1913
Harold Louderback (1933) - March 2 to March 3, 1933
Halsted Ritter (1936) - April 17 to June 3, 1936
Harry E. Claiborne (1986) - July 7 to September 10, 1986
Alcee Hastings (1989) - March 16 to October 20, 1989
Walter Nixon (1989) - November 28, 1989 to November 3, 1990
William Jefferson Clinton (1998) - December 19, 1998 to February 12, 1999
Donald John Trump (2019) - January 16 to February 5, 2020 and February 9 to 13, 2021
Today, in the United States, impeachment basically just means charging someone in public office with a crime.
According to Article Two, Section Four of the United States Constitution:
“The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” It’s worth noting that “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” is uh…up for interpretation.
Oh, and while impeachment may happen at the state level, in this video we’re just going to focus on every impeachment in American history at the federal level.
According to Article One, Section Two, Clause Five of the Constitution, the U.S. House of Representatives are the only ones who have the power to impeach. First, a U.S. Representative must introduce an impeachment resolution. ANY member of the House of Representatives may do this against ANY federal public official. Not just the President, Vice President, members of the Cabinet, and other federal officials in the executive branch…but also judges and even members of Congress! The resolution is then referred to a committee- usually the House Judiciary Committee, which investigates the charges against the public official and decides whether or not to recommend ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT. If they do recommend it, it goes to the entire House of Representatives for a vote, baby. If a majority of the House votes in favor of ANY of the articles of impeachment, that official is impeached.

If you’re keeping score, 22 Presidents generally preferred drinks with caffeine in them and 22 Presidents generally preferred drinks with alcohol in them. Oh, and then there was Rutherford Hayes, who preferred sugary lemonade.
You may have noticed that of all the Presidents, 100% of their favorite drinks had drugs in them. And yes, sugar is a drug!
