The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: There is a push from the Trump camp for Texas to consider mid-decade redistricting to aid in picking up more Republican seats in Congress. The rumor that such might be considered has been around for a while but now there has been a meeting of Texas Republican members of Congress to discuss such. At present there is not much enthusiasm for such and it comes with big risks. At present, under current conditions, I don't expect much to come of it but, if Governor Abbott were to get aboard, he'd be the one to set it in motion with a Special Session call which would need to be in July, or the very earliest days of August fit time constraints.The New York Times broke the story: White House Pushes Texas to Redistrict, Hoping to Blunt Democratic Gains Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.City of Abilene officials looking to make home ownership that much more out of reach with another property tax increase. Has anyone actually run the numbers to demonstrate a total net savings, over principal and interest costs, from the proposed “energy improvements?” Most often these things do not produce a net savings.So much of the reporting on arrests by ICE is cleverly misleading propaganda. This Houston Chronicle story is an example: ICE agents arrest 3 people at southwest Houston immigration court. I explain why it is misleading to most as well as why the objections are silly.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

Gus Clemens on Wine explores and explains the world of wine in simple, humorous, fun posts
This is the weekly columnTo everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. In June of 2025, such a time has come for my wine writing adventure.In the summer of 2008, the editor of my local newspaper, the San Angelo Standard-Times, challenged me to write a wine column that would entertain and inform the average wine buyer. The “buyer” part was important because the weekly column would be an anchor on the Wednesday food section of the newspaper and advertisers wanted information about wines customers could buy in local stores.And so a wonderful adventure began. By September I had written enough test drafts to find a voice, approach, and word length to prove to myself I could pull this off. Imperatives included a word length to fit into the news hole on the front of the food section, a commitment to file well in advance since the section often was one of the first to be processed in the newsroom, never to miss a deadline, never to lazily submit a previous column even if my well of ideas was dry. I take pride in hitting every single one of those marks the past 17 years.It was pleasing when sister papers of the Standard-Times—in Corpus Christi and Abilene—picked up the column. Then the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, which was not part of the company at that time. Then came newspaper sales and consolidations and, soon, I was providing columns for the new mothership, Gannett-USA Today. Now the column appeared all over the United States, from Florida to California. Those were heady times for a wine writer in San Angelo, Texas.That was the case for more than a decade. I was a nationally syndicated wine columnist and expanding into non-Gannett-USA Today newspapers since I own the rights to my work and only sold papers the rights to use my work in print and online. The money was nice, the audience was more important.At the same time, I was online almost from the beginning. I owned an advertising agency that made websites, so from the first months my columns and wine reviews were available in a searchable, free website— Link —and on Facebook. Then Twitter (X). Eventually Bluesky and LinkedIn.Wide exposure brought delightful benefits. Winemakers around the world sent me samples to taste and write about. I got to interview and be interviewed by notables in the wine world. When I visited wineries, I got special treatment. I told many folks, this was one of the best writing gigs in my more than 50 years as a professional writer. And I could toast my good fortune with a high-quality bottle of wine the maker had begged me to receive for free.Much of this delicious adventure continues, but in 2025 one chapter closes. Local daily newspapers throughout the United States have entered hospice protocols. Gannett is doing its best to remain viable, but clearly denouement looms. At first, because of shrinking space, my wine column stopped running weekly and became episodic, especially in the non-Texas newspapers. Then in the Texas newspapers. Invoices went unpaid. When I queried editors about the situation, silence.In correspondence with Dave McIntyre, who ended his weekly wine column in The Washington Post this January after 16 years, I realized we faced similar pressures in a changing newspaper environment. “Despite our efforts to spread the appeal of wine, a wine column is aimed at a niche audience,” he wrote, “while newspapers increasingly grade the success of an individual article on the number of readers who click on it.”This is not a valedictory column. I enjoy writing about wine and reviewing wine and do not intend to stop. I just face the reality that newspapers no longer are one of the vehicles to reach readers.In some ways, I celebrate new freedom. I no longer am subject to the tyranny of a 450-word count. I no longer am confined to a once-a-week schedule. That likely does not mean fewer columns/posts, likely more, but not always on Wednesday.To the newspapers that carried my column for most of the past 17 years, thank you. It has been a joy of my life. To all my readers/followers, this is not goodbye.

That Dwight D. Eisenhower became Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, orchestrating the largest amphibious invasion in history on June 6, 1944, was far from inevitable.He came from the middle of nowhere — Abilene, Kansas — had never led men in battle, spent most of his career as a staff officer, and didn't make general until he was in his fifties.How, then, did he become the leader on whom the fate of the world would rest?Today, we trace the making of Ike with Michel Paradis, author of The Light of Battle. We talk about how Eisenhower's Midwestern upbringing shaped his character, and how his most important education happened outside the classroom. Michel shares how crucial mentors were in Ike's development, and how Eisenhower made the most of those relationships. We discuss the books that were most formative in shaping his thinking, including what he got from Nietzsche. We also get into some of the practices Eisenhower used to lead effectively, including how he budgeted his time to maintain his morale while under the pressure of planning D-Day and what he did the evening before the invasion to deal with the stress.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #641: How Eisenhower Led — A Conversation with Ike's GranddaughterAoM series on Eisenhower's leadershipAoM Podcast #996: Remembering D-Day 80 Years LaterThe Line Man's Bible: A Football Textbook of Detailed Instruction by Ernest Graves.Sunday Firesides: You Never Know How Many Chapters Are Still to ComeFox ConnerThe Czar of Halfaday Creek by James B.

4/8: The Light of Battle: Eisenhower, D-Day, and the Birth of the American Superpower by Michel Paradis (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Light-Battle-Eisenhower-American-Superpower/dp/0358682371/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= On June 6, 1944, General Dwight Eisenhower addressed the thousands of American troops preparing to invade Normandy, exhorting them to embrace the “Great Crusade” they faced. Then, in a fleeting moment alone, he drafted a resignation letter in case the invasion failed. In The Light of Battle, Michel Paradis, acclaimed author of Last Mission to Tokyo, paints a vivid portrait of Dwight Eisenhower as he learns to navigate the crosscurrents of diplomacy, politics, strategy, family, and fame with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance. In a world of giants—Churchill, Roosevelt, De Gaulle, Marshall, MacArthur—it was a barefoot boy from Abilene, Kansas, who would master the art of power and become a modern-day George Washington. Drawing upon meticulous research and a voluminous body of newly discovered records, letters, diaries, and firsthand accounts from three continents, Paradis brings Eisenhower to life, as a complicated man who craved simplicity, a genial cipher whose smile was a lethal political weapon. With a page-turning pace and an eye for the overlooked, Paradis interweaves the grand arc of history with more human concerns, bringing readers into the private moments that led to Eisenhower's most pivotal decisions. By deftly integrating the personal and the political, he reveals how Eisenhower's rise both reflected and was integral to America's rise as a global superpower. An unflinching look at how character is forged, and leadership is learned, The Light of Battle breathes new life into the man who made “the leader of the free world” the mantle of the American presidency. 1945 IKE ZHUKOV

In this enlightening episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee takes a reflective journey back to his roots in Abilene, Texas, exploring how the qualities of generosity and genuine kindness found in smaller towns can be universally beneficial. As he contrasts the fast-paced life of big cities with the community-centered ethos of West Texas, Baylor shares personal anecdotes that underscore the importance of paying it forward and cultivating an uplifting environment around us. Throughout the episode, Baylor discusses how acts of kindness can shape positive experiences and create a ripple effect of goodwill, no matter where you are. He recounts a weekend spent reconnecting with the simple, generous spirit of his hometown, offering ideas on how to integrate those values into daily life. Using powerful storytelling, Baylor illustrates how adopting a mindset of gratitude and positivity can not only enhance your personal journey but also inspire others and foster an indispensable community connection. Key Takeaways: Emphasize positivity and generosity in everyday interactions, which can significantly impact others and inspire reciprocal acts of kindness. Recognize the power of small, thoughtful gestures in uplifting those around you and setting a positive tone in various environments. Understand the societal benefit of leading by example; being proactive in expressing support and positivity can transform communal dynamics. The law of reciprocity plays a critical role in social interactions, where people are inclined to return acts of goodwill with similar gestures. Strive to become an indispensable source of energy and support, contributing to a stable and positive environment both personally and professionally. Notable Quotes: "You never know who needs your smile or your kind word or your high five on that particular day." "Think about if you were the person that started the catalyst today of paying it forward." "People are going to gravitate toward people that bring smiles to their face." "What you're doing, aside from helping people out, is you're making yourself irreplaceable, indispensable." "Send a small text, give a kind word, send a nice email. That's how we change the world, brick by brick."

Episode 60: Finding Joy and Purpose Through Obedience with Krystal Hunsucker About Our Guest Krystal Hunsucker is a vibrant woman of faith who brings energy and authenticity to everything she does. Here's a little more about her: Boy mom to two sons (ages 5 and 9) Mary Kay Sales Director since 2002 (working her business for 25 years) Professional emcee and public speaker Passionate about worship music and singing Lives in McKinney, Texas with her husband Brad and their two sons Krystal grew up in Abilene, Texas before finishing high school and college in Oklahoma (she's a proud Sooner!). She loves makeup, fashion, sparkles, and her signature "color" is literally color – she embraces brightness in all aspects of life! Episode Highlights: Rhythms That Restore In this special one-year anniversary episode, Krystal shares how she's discovered rhythms that restore her mind, heart, body, and spirit through various seasons of life. Her story beautifully illustrates how finding peace and joy through obedience to God creates sustainable rhythms of rest and renewal. Finding Her Purpose Early At just 21-22 years old, Krystal read "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren, which helped her identify her life's purpose: "to lead and inspire and encourage women." This purpose has guided her life's direction, and she's seen how God has consistently placed her in positions to fulfill this calling. Daily Rhythms That Restore Krystal maintains her spiritual growth and finds daily restoration through: Following The Bible Recap (she's in her third year using it) Leading Bible study Weekly church attendance Worship music that realigns her heart Teaching her boys by example Finding quiet time in her car (her "peace filling spot") Viewing each day as an opportunity for "daily bread" rather than trying to plan too far ahead Her Faith Journey While Krystal grew up in church, she experienced a powerful "wrangling" moment during her junior year of college. She had drifted from her spiritual foundation and was in an unhealthy relationship when her boyfriend unexpectedly suggested attending a Shane & Shane concert. There, she had a profound Holy Spirit encounter that left her in tears throughout the concert. A week later, she ended the relationship, and "everything changed" in her life. Lessons in Obedience and Surrender Krystal shared powerful examples of how obedience to God has blessed her life: Dating journey: She remained patient and selective for over 10 years, writing out Proverbs 31 with her name in it, creating a detailed list of qualities she sought in a partner, and going on many first dates while being obedient to not "waste time with the wrong person" She met her husband Brad on a blind date at age 33 and married at 34 Parenting her youngest son: She described the indescribable blessings that came through fully surrendering and obeying God's guidance God's Movement in Her Life Krystal and Brad have been married for almost 11 years and have two sons. She shared a beautiful perspective: "I am truly and honestly feel like I am living my dream," though she sometimes has to remind herself to fully embrace and enjoy this season of life that she worked so hard for. Advice to Her Younger Self Although she was blessed with great parents and natural confidence as a child, Krystal would remind her younger self to keep seeking God during seasons of doubt, remembering that "obedience creates peace, even when it's not easy." Krystal's Challenge to Listeners "Daily seek Him. I don't know what that looks like for each person but figure out what moves you. On the days you don't feel moved or on the busy days when the day slips by and it's been one or two days since you've dug into the Word, get back to what you know to do. Whether it's worship music, prayer writing, listening to the Bible, reading the Bible, a podcast, or a sermon - there are so many options. Whatever fills your soul with Him, do it and then do it again until on the days you don't, you wake up the following day hungry and ready to return." Resources Mentioned The Bible Recap (Tara-Leigh Cobble's Bible reading plan and podcast) "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren John Gordon's work John Maxwell's books Worship music: "Worthy is the Lamb" and Forrest Frank's "God is Good" Shane & Shane's music Connect with Krystal Visit: http://vipeurl.com/1rgud3d Support the Rhythms That Restore Podcast This episode celebrates the one-year anniversary of the Rhythms That Restore podcast (Episode 60)!

May you be like a tree that is planted by rivers of living water, that your leaf will not wither, and whatsoever you do, it shall prosper." - Krystal's blessing to listeners
