Conventional wisdom says the United States holds all the cards—but recent history tells a much more complicated story. This presentation challenges mainstream assumptions by auditing three contemporary battlegrounds. We will debate the true legacy of the 2025 Tariff Wars: was it a $5.2 trillion protectionist triumph or a demonstration of successful allied counter-strategies? Moving to the kinetic theater, we review the 2026 Iran War, evaluating how a nation can claim an asymmetric victory simply by surviving 13,000 air strikes and leveraging the world's most critical maritime chokepoint. To tie it all together, we trace the 55-year US-China Economic War (1971–2026), revealing the mechanisms China deployed to withstand severe internal crises—from a bursting real estate bubble to a graying population—while holding the line on critical rare earth elements. Join us for a gritty, data-driven look at how modern wars are fought, resisted, and survived.

Churchill was considered the greatest man in the world by the time of his death in 1965. This presentation focuses on Churchill’s private life: his tremendous capacity for work, his humour, his willingness to take risks, and his intense emotional nature. Born into an aristocratic family, Churchill would change political parties - twice! By 1916, his political career was in tatters after the  disaster of Gallipoli. From these political margins, he led the calls for rearmament in the face of German aggression. Close to defeat, he would lead Britain to victory. After 1945, Churchill predicted the Cold War. This presentation explores why Churchill is considered one of the most important Brits in the last 100 years. 

Each week brings a fresh topic, lively debate, and the chance to explore new perspectives together.

When the Wright brothers first flew in 1903, they could not have imagined the impact of powered flight. One visionary influenced by that breakthrough was Jack Northrop, who began experimenting with flying-wing designs. After World War II, Northrop developed flying-wing bombers, but early models suffered from critical flaws.

In the 1960s, engineers explored “lifting body” aircraft, where the fuselage itself generated lift rather than traditional wings. This research paved the way for a major breakthrough in the 1980s with Northrop’s B-2 Spirit—the world’s first successful production flying wing. Today, flying-wing designs appear in advanced drones, and future airliners may follow. This class explores the fascinating evolution of flying-wing technology and how innovation unfolds over time.

This talk maps out the trajectory of the 2028 Republican primary through the lens of its five most formidable contenders: Trump, Vance, Rubio, Cruz, and DeSantis. We will examine the high-stakes dynamics shaping their campaigns:

The Trump Wildcard: The constitutional and political implications of another run.

The Vance Paradox: Balancing billionaire and religious-right backing against the political fallout of the Iran War settlement.

The Rubio Long-Game: Waiting out the chaos to mount a charismatic restoration of traditional foreign policy hawks.

The Cruz & DeSantis Playbook: Exploiting voter fatigue over the "Three I's"—Iran, Immigration, and Inflation.

We conclude by analyzing the overarching "wildcard factors" that could rewrite the script: AI productivity gains, historic shifts in Cuba, and the state of the China-Russia threat.

The Florida Seminole people endured government deception, stolen lands, and broken treaties, even as the Trail of Tears threatened their very existence. Yet they refused to surrender their homeland or identity. Their survival in the face of forced removal and cultural erasure stands as a testament to Seminole strength, sovereignty, and unshakable resilience.

The decade known as “The Roaring Twenties” an era of exuberance, unbridled optimism and excess, came to a crashing halt in the final days of 1929 as the stock market crash sent the world into a downward spiraling depression, the likes of which had not been seen before. In the early months of the new decade an equally devastating environmental disaster struck in the form of multiple massive dust storms, giving Middle America the unflattering nickname “The Dust Bowl.” Millionaires became paupers and the everyday American struggled just to get by. The result was a major political upheaval as the nation turned to Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt to lift the country from its knees. The strife of those years garnered a new nickname for the era – “The Dirty Thirties”. Our sessions will cover the major events of the decade and how we coped.

By the mid-20th century, architects in the United States were redefining the modern city, transforming how people live, work, and experience space. They developed a distinctive vocabulary of modern and postmodern design, experimenting with new forms, materials, and structural ideas that influenced architects and artists worldwide. We will examine both celebrated and lesser-known projects—residences, office buildings, theaters, civic spaces, and campus structures—tracing the innovations and vision of architects such as Louis Kahn, Philip Johnson, Denise Scott Brown, I.M. Pei, and Eero Saarinen. Through examples in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and beyond, Dr. Jennie Hirsh explores how these practitioners balanced functionality, elegance, and human scale, ultimately reshaping American architecture and leaving a legacy that continues to inspire the built environment today

We live in the computer age, but the concept of computing dates back thousands of years. The abacus is considered the first computer, yet it was the rapid evolution of computing machines in the 20th century that truly transformed our world. Computers evolved from massive room-sized devices to compact machines no larger than a book. The power of computers has fundamentally changed how we perceive and interact with our world. The history of computing is a fascinating story of opportunity, innovation, and the future of humanity.
