    In today's episode of Lest We Forget Historical, host Lillian Cauldwell delves into the atrocities all women in Afghanistan suffer at the hands of the Taliban or religion. Reports have come in that women and girls feel isolated, imprisoned, and restricted by freedom imposed by men and their laws and policies dictating how their women and girls should live.

Ms. Cauldwell explores Trump's proposed solution to America's problems: new tariffs on foreign goods entering the United States.

    In today's episode of Lest We Forget Historical, host Lillian Cauldwell discusses the 14th Amendment and its provisions about whether a convicted candidate running for President is banned from taking office if convicted of being a felon.

    After a fact check, it is established that nowhere in the US Constitution does it prohibit anyone from taking office unless they have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution and "engaged in insurrection." However, in March 2024, the Supreme Court required that Congress act for it to be enforced.
