An episode from Queanbeyan Bible Baptist Church (QBBC), a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located near Canberra, NSW Australia. What QBBC believes about the Holy Bible: That both verbal and plenary inspiration applies to the Scriptures known as the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament Canon. That is, that God literally breathed His words and that every part of the Scriptures is the Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16. We believe that God preserved His words as he promised to do. These words are preserved in the original languages of Hebrew and Greek exactly the way He intended them to be without need of addition or subtraction to any part of them. Deuteronomy 4:2; Psalm 12:6-7. We also believe that the doctrine of inspiration is of no value without the doctrine of preservation. What QBBC believes about Jesus Christ: We believe that Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh (John 1:1-14), that He is fully God while at the same time being fully man. (Isaiah 9:6), that He is perfect in every way. (Hebrews 4:15), that He is the only way of salvation, that He was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), that He lived a sinless life, died on a cross at Calvary, was buried, arose bodily from the dead, ascended to Heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father's throne making intercession for Believers, will meet His Bride in the air in the rapture, and will return bodily to the earth to establish His Millennial Kingdom on earth. Hebrews 4:15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4. What QBBC believes about the Holy Ghost: That He is fully God. That He resides within the body of every born-again Believer. 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19-20; Ephesians 5:18. That He is referred to as the Comforter and the Spirit in the Scriptures. John 14:16, 26. That He reproves the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. John 16:7-11. That He baptizes every Believer into the Body of Christ at the time of conversion and seals them for eternity. John 3:5-8; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13. That He will bear fruit in the life of the Believer and is actively trying to mold them into the image of Christ. Romans 8:23-29; Galatians 5:22-23.

Part 1:We talk with Chris Tomlinson, of the Houston Chronicle.We discuss the power failures in Houston, due to the Cat 1 hurricane Beryl. We discuss how ill prepared Centerpoint Energy and the state was for this event. There seems to be no accountability for anyone concerned: the utility, governor, Lt. governor. Current heat index is 106 degrees F.Part 2:We talk with Amy Littlefield, abortion access correspondent for The Nation, and with Bill Curry, two time candidate for governor of Connecticut.We discuss JB Vance's speech before the RNC. This appears to be a repackaging of the GOP as 'kinder and gentler'. However, the language used describes more restrictions on personal autonomy, and restrictions on physical travel for women. Vance wants to be perceived as "pro-worker" though he is definitely supported by billionaires that would like to eliminate all unions. WNHNFM.ORG production
Part 1:We talk with Chris Tomlinson, of the Houston Chronicle.We discuss the recent storms in Texas, and the toll: 7 dead, 5 billion in damage, and 1 million people still without power a week later.

Republicans are still denying that climate change is real.Part 2:We talk with Bill Curry and Stephen Pimpare about the nation's courts. The judiciary has imploded, and the Supreme Court has no enforceable ethics code. WNHNFM.ORG production

Part 1:We talk with Adam Kotsko, an American theologian, scholar, culture critic.We discuss the status of learning in American schools. Changes in reading pedagogy have resulted in a generation of students who appear to not know how to read, concentrate, or absorb complex ideas. We discuss what could help alleviate this trend.Part 2:We talk with Chris Tomlinson, reporter and columnist in Texas.We discuss the close economic relationship between the US and Mexico. Mexico is now the top trading partner with the US. Severing any relationships with Mexico would damage the US economy, and damage the Texas economy particularly. 8% of the Texas workforce is undocumented, and eliminating those workers would would cripple the Texas economy.

Republicans dominate every part of government in Texas. It's been that way for two decades. It also happens to be a state with the most wind and utility-scale solar development in the country. Over their 20 years of dominance, Republicans in the state have mostly supported renewables, often in a very warm way. But lately, they've turned against them. In a very short period of time, America's fastest-growing renewables state became the most hostile. What happened? This week, we'll look at the history and political fads that are driving the Texas renewables backlash. We'll talk with the Houston Chronicle's Chris Tomlinson about much it could unravel the market.

Its absence would remove the very heart from Western civilization. Virgil's epic about the foundation of Rome itself, The Aeneid. the great Saint Augustine and his magnum opus, The City of God The penultimate pillar is that other edifice of Christian theology and philosophy, the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas. Dante's Divine Comedy, a work which brings together the Homeric and Virgilian Muses and baptizes them in the living waters of Thomistic theology and philosophy.

It's Reader's Choice, so Bonnie and PJ shared their reads for the month. Like a good mystery that ties in to a library? Or maybe history is more your style, fiction or non-fiction. Let's listen in on the reviews. The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill Forget the Alamo: the rise and fall of an American myth by Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, and Jason Stanford
On Thursday's show: After another day of record-breaking demand on the Texas electric grid, we ask the Houston Chronicle's Chris Tomlinson to weigh in on efforts in the political ranks (from both sides) to blame different sources of energy for not supplying enough juice. Also this hour: We discuss the concept of sportswashing -- how companies, governments, or other entities use sports or sponsorship of a sport to improve a troubled reputation. Then, we learn the role air conditioning played in making Houston the massive, sprawling city it is today — for better or worse. And a performance of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night utilizes Juilliard graduate students and Houston-area high schoolers.
When you find yourself at the end of your rope, you'll discover God there. Cast all your burdens on Him. He's the best listener. He has the power to rescue and comfort us regardless of how dark the situation might be right now. We just need to be still and listen for his whisper.

Chris Tomlinson, Co-Author of Forget the Alamo talks the truth about Texas
On Friday's show: Harris County has been pursuing bail reform efforts for some time now. How's it going? News 88.7's Andrew Schneider joins us with an update. And the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is responding to some ADA compliance concerns. News 88.7's Lucio Vasquez has the latest for us. Also this hour: Houston Chronicle columnist Chris Tomlinson discusses the ways the world depends on Vladimir Putin economically in one way or another and how that's a factor now that the Russian leader has invaded Ukraine. Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week. And the contemporary music ensemble Musiqa is collaborating with Stages Theater on the premiere of a chamber opera by Laura Schwendinger called Cabaret of Shadows on stage March 5 and 6 at the MATCH.
Rundown - Chris Tomlinson - 11:32 Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:19:09 "New Last Chance" by Dave Gunders - 01:32:33 Episode 82 highlights dangerousness of RNC Trumpers like Colorado's own Randy Corporon squelching Cheney dissent from the Big Lie and Trump Insurrection. Now, Pence takes on Trump for first time. We ponder how that will that work out. Chris Tomlinson is a renowned AP foreign correspondent, and now a business columnist at the Houston Chronicle. He authored Forget the Alamo, The Rise and Fall of an American Myth. This true history of Texas (and Colorado) may rock your world. If you want to know the truth, that is. William Travis, James Bowie, and Davy Crockett were not good people. A myth was fed to Americans to demonize non-whites and justify manifest destiny. On 1/29/22, Donald Trump told an adoring Texas crowd that he loves the Alamo. No wonder. Those men fought for the cause of slavery. Chris Tomlinson reported from foreign war scenes riven by ethnic conflict. Learn the involvement of Walt Disney, John Wayne, and Phil Collins with distorting facts about the Alamo. Understand motivations some have for distorting history. Fun fact, Chris is optimistic about America righting her ship, and explains why. Troubadour Dave Gunders is always looking for the silver lining on any situation. That means the sun is involved as it is in most of his superb songs. New Last Chance is perfect for contemplating the fate of those poor soldiers as Santa Ana rode into San Antonio to destroy the slavers at the Alamo. The Craig Silverman Show, every Saturday morning at 9 AM, Colorado time.

July conversation with writer Chris Tomlinson on his book "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth," co-written with Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford for Penguin Press. Suggested by Wally, Joel and Mark.
Join us as we talk with Chris Tomlinson about his new book, Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth, co-written with Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford. Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. There's no piece of history more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. However, that version of events, as Forget the Alamo definitively shows, owes more to fantasy than reality. Just as the site of the Alamo was left in ruins for decades, its story was forgotten and twisted over time, with the contributions of Tejanos--Texans of Mexican origin, who fought alongside the Anglo rebels--scrubbed from the record, and the origin of the conflict over Mexico's push to abolish slavery papered over. In our conversation, Chris explains the true story of the battle and walks us through the creation of the Alamo myth in the Jim Crow South of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear for some, celebrating the Alamo has long had an echo of celebrating whiteness. Join us for this riveting and important conversation.
Today, we talk with Chris Tomlinson, one of the authors of "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth." We talk about the real story of what led up to the battle, the 45-minute battle and the aftermath, which really impacts even today.

What's New in the 303: Deb Connelly, Running Hall of Fame, Denver Athletic Club Deb Conley started running for the first time the summer before attending the University of Colorado at Boulder. She ran just to run with a new boyfriend. Like three miles. A couple of months later she walked on to CU's cross country team and has been running ever since. And just recently, she was inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame. Wow. She never played sports growing up, never ran, never did anything but work and go to school. In this video interview, Deb expresses a surprised happiness after being selected for the Colorado Running Hall of Fame. But she also shares something vulnerable; how running in college was the first time she ever experienced feeling truly happy. Whats not really discussed, is the rocky and almost impossible path she took to get here. If you knew Deb in high school you probably would never have foreseen her making the Colorado Running H.O.A. But like 99% of her classmates, I had no idea how hard her life was until we reconvened about this honor almost 40 years later. My high school experience differed greatly from Deb's even though we both went to Wheat Ridge and graduated in 1983. I played sports, didn't work, had a car, stayed busy with practices and homework and hanging out with friends. Admittedly, I led the “Leave it Beaver” lifestyle (yes I'm dating myself), like a good chunk of my fellow “Farmers” (our mascot). Deb, living just a few miles away lived in poverty. Her mom forged her birth certificate when she was 13 so she could work. Her bed was an old army cot. They had no refrigerator and the house was in disrepair. Her parents didn't want her to go to college but rather help with the other kids. There was no modeling of “success” or “ambition” in her home. Yet she excelled at school and knew she had to figure out a way to go to college. She admittedly didn't understand true happiness and felt lonely. Her friend and fellow classmate, Chris Tomlinson, one of the few who knew of Deb's tough childhood said, “she was very smart, but seemed anxious and isolated. It seemed touch and go for her.” Wendy Koenig A middle distance runner, Wendy Koenig competed seven times for the United States in international dual meets. She was a three-time AIAW Champion, in 1975 in the 880 yards, and in 1976 at both 800 and 1,500 metres. Koenig also won three AAU titles, outdoors in the 1973 880 and in 1976 in the 1,500, and indoors in the 1979 800. On 24 March 1973, she set one of the very early world records for the 400 hurdles with 59.08, the first woman to run the event under one minute. Koenig ran for Colorado State University, and competed at the 1972 Olympics as Wendy Koenig and the 1976 Olympics as Wendy Knudson. Personal Bests: 440y – 54.60 (1975); 800 – 1:59.91 (1976); 1500 – 4:21.80 (1976); Mile – 4:47.7i (1976); 3000 – 9:49.0 (1976); 2 Miles – 10:34.0 (1976); 100H – 14.8 (1971); 400H – 59.08 (1973); HJ – 5-5 [1.65] (1974); LJ – 19-10¾i [6.06] (1979); Pen - 4167 (1971). Utah's Unique Mountain Bike Hut System Unites a Group of Colorado Cyclists Posted on October 12, 2021 By Bill Plock In south central Utah surrounded by National Parks, ancient river beds and views of what was once the floor of a great sea bed, lies a system of huts sheltering mountain bikers as they wind through the Escalante Plateau. The area, more than twice the size of Rhode Island is bordered by Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef National Parks and Lake Powell. It offers a huge variety of terrain tempting all levels of cyclists to explore the high deserts, deep canyons, daunting plateaus and sandy washout basins. Coming from Colorado, a beautiful drive takes you from Green River, Utah southwest to the town of Escalante where the 190 mile Aquarius Trail Hut System ends. When you arrive, someone from Aquarius takes you and your bike West to Brian Head where the adventure begins. The “huts” are shipping containers repurposed and carved up to make sleeping accommodations and a kitchen for 12 cyclists. As Jared Fisher, owner of Escape Adventures, who dreamed up this hut system says, “It's like putting together a lego house. It takes four containers to make a “hut” and we cut them, install windows and doors and add the bunks and appliances.” The huts are “off the grid” operating by solar and propane complete with compostable toilets and showers. When all the expenses are accounted for, a hut will cost about $200,000 to build and install. They are serviced by staff each day bringing in fresh food, linens, and fuel. Scattered on the Escalante Plateau National Monument, the huts are a welcome reprieve from some challenging days on single track and dirt roads taking riders up epic climbs to amazing views. They are fully stocked with gourmet food, snacks, beverages, water, showers and everything to make it as comfortable as possible. Guest can cook on the grills outside and cozy up to fire pits to take the high desert chill away. The group I joined is mostly from Colorado and gather once in a while at destinations like this. They had a sag truck to carry some provisions and the group dog. All seemed to love the hut and the route and the abundance of food and snacks. Said one rider, “they even have Peanut M&M's” which seemed to be an important provision. The daily routes are between 25 and 40 miles with options for longer treks to scenic spots. After the group breakfast, riders had all day to make it to the next hut and when possible the sag truck would park somewhere in between with refreshments. Said Jeff Oehm of Lakewood, “The huts are well thought out and stocked with good food and comfortable beds. The trails and roads were great and very challenging in places. This part of Utah is stunning and so uncrowded, was well worth the drive from Denver.” Fisher's company provides destination, endurance oriented travel experiences all over the world and discovered this area about 10 years. He lives in Las Vegas, operates three bike shops and has built a company revolving around the bike. It took a while to get the permits to start installing the huts and connecting the trails. He said, “Covid actually helped push this project to the finish as the Forest Service was able to re-evaluate the situation and we got approval last year. This is our first year of operations and it's gone very well. We have accommodated over 500 cyclists this summer. Any tour operator would be happy with that I think.” The experience can be customized to accommodate a private group or open to a single rider with a variety of diets and food preferences. They also have bikes, and e-bikes for rent.

What's New in the 303: Deb Connelly, Running Hall of Fame, Denver Athletic Club Deb Conley started running for the first time the summer before attending the University of Colorado at Boulder. She ran just to run with a new boyfriend. Like three miles. A couple of months later she walked on to CU's cross country team and has been running ever since. And just recently, she was inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame. Wow. She never played sports growing up, never ran, never did anything but work and go to school. In this video interview, Deb expresses a surprised happiness after being selected for the Colorado Running Hall of Fame. But she also shares something vulnerable; how running in college was the first time she ever experienced feeling truly happy. Whats not really discussed, is the rocky and almost impossible path she took to get here. If you knew Deb in high school you probably would never have foreseen her making the Colorado Running H.O.A. But like 99% of her classmates, I had no idea how hard her life was until we reconvened about this honor almost 40 years later. My high school experience differed greatly from Deb's even though we both went to Wheat Ridge and graduated in 1983. I played sports, didn't work, had a car, stayed busy with practices and homework and hanging out with friends. Admittedly, I led the “Leave it Beaver” lifestyle (yes I'm dating myself), like a good chunk of my fellow “Farmers” (our mascot). Deb, living just a few miles away lived in poverty. Her mom forged her birth certificate when she was 13 so she could work. Her bed was an old army cot. They had no refrigerator and the house was in disrepair. Her parents didn't want her to go to college but rather help with the other kids. There was no modeling of “success” or “ambition” in her home. Yet she excelled at school and knew she had to figure out a way to go to college. She admittedly didn't understand true happiness and felt lonely. Her friend and fellow classmate, Chris Tomlinson, one of the few who knew of Deb's tough childhood said, “she was very smart, but seemed anxious and isolated. It seemed touch and go for her.” Wendy Koenig A middle distance runner, Wendy Koenig competed seven times for the United States in international dual meets. She was a three-time AIAW Champion, in 1975 in the 880 yards, and in 1976 at both 800 and 1,500 metres. Koenig also won three AAU titles, outdoors in the 1973 880 and in 1976 in the 1,500, and indoors in the 1979 800. On 24 March 1973, she set one of the very early world records for the 400 hurdles with 59.08, the first woman to run the event under one minute. Koenig ran for Colorado State University, and competed at the 1972 Olympics as Wendy Koenig and the 1976 Olympics as Wendy Knudson. Personal Bests: 440y – 54.60 (1975); 800 – 1:59.91 (1976); 1500 – 4:21.80 (1976); Mile – 4:47.7i (1976); 3000 – 9:49.0 (1976); 2 Miles – 10:34.0 (1976); 100H – 14.8 (1971); 400H – 59.08 (1973); HJ – 5-5 [1.65] (1974); LJ – 19-10¾i [6.06] (1979); Pen - 4167 (1971). Utah's Unique Mountain Bike Hut System Unites a Group of Colorado Cyclists Posted on October 12, 2021 By Bill Plock In south central Utah surrounded by National Parks, ancient river beds and views of what was once the floor of a great sea bed, lies a system of huts sheltering mountain bikers as they wind through the Escalante Plateau. The area, more than twice the size of Rhode Island is bordered by Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef National Parks and Lake Powell. It offers a huge variety of terrain tempting all levels of cyclists to explore the high deserts, deep canyons, daunting plateaus and sandy washout basins. Coming from Colorado, a beautiful drive takes you from Green River, Utah southwest to the town of Escalante where the 190 mile Aquarius Trail Hut System ends. When you arrive, someone from Aquarius takes you and your bike West to Brian Head where the adventure begins. The “huts” are shipping containers repurposed and carved up to make sleeping accommodations and a kitchen for 12 cyclists. As Jared Fisher, owner of Escape Adventures, who dreamed up this hut system says, “It's like putting together a lego house. It takes four containers to make a “hut” and we cut them, install windows and doors and add the bunks and appliances.” The huts are “off the grid” operating by solar and propane complete with compostable toilets and showers. When all the expenses are accounted for, a hut will cost about $200,000 to build and install. They are serviced by staff each day bringing in fresh food, linens, and fuel. Scattered on the Escalante Plateau National Monument, the huts are a welcome reprieve from some challenging days on single track and dirt roads taking riders up epic climbs to amazing views. They are fully stocked with gourmet food, snacks, beverages, water, showers and everything to make it as comfortable as possible. Guest can cook on the grills outside and cozy up to fire pits to take the high desert chill away. The group I joined is mostly from Colorado and gather once in a while at destinations like this. They had a sag truck to carry some provisions and the group dog. All seemed to love the hut and the route and the abundance of food and snacks. Said one rider, “they even have Peanut M&M's” which seemed to be an important provision. The daily routes are between 25 and 40 miles with options for longer treks to scenic spots. After the group breakfast, riders had all day to make it to the next hut and when possible the sag truck would park somewhere in between with refreshments. Said Jeff Oehm of Lakewood, “The huts are well thought out and stocked with good food and comfortable beds. The trails and roads were great and very challenging in places. This part of Utah is stunning and so uncrowded, was well worth the drive from Denver.” Fisher's company provides destination, endurance oriented travel experiences all over the world and discovered this area about 10 years. He lives in Las Vegas, operates three bike shops and has built a company revolving around the bike. It took a while to get the permits to start installing the huts and connecting the trails. He said, “Covid actually helped push this project to the finish as the Forest Service was able to re-evaluate the situation and we got approval last year. This is our first year of operations and it's gone very well. We have accommodated over 500 cyclists this summer. Any tour operator would be happy with that I think.” The experience can be customized to accommodate a private group or open to a single rider with a variety of diets and food preferences. They also have bikes, and e-bikes for rent.

(Note: This conversation originally aired earlier this year.) History is one thing; mythology is another. And at times, of course, these two can overlap, or blur, or get confused. Such is the case with the Alamo, as our guest argues. Longtime journalist Chris Tomlinson is a columnist for The Houston Chronicle and The San Antonio Express-News, and he's one of the authors of a book titled "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth." As was noted of this work in Publishers Weekly: "Substantive yet wryly humorous.... Skillfully drawing on primary and secondary sources, the authors show that Stephen F. Austin, who established a colony of American settlers in Texas in the 1820s, fought to protect slavery from Mexican legislators' desire to abolish it, and that the independence movement was focused on preserving Texas's slave-based cotton economy. Enriched by its breezy tone and fair-minded approach, this is an essential look at the Alamo from the perspective of today's racial
Bryan Burrough has been writing books digging into big business, crime and American Scandal for over 30 years. After our chat about “Forget The Alamo” he was kind enough to stick around for 20 minutes or so and talk to us about his writing, movie adaptations, and some specifics about his books. He is the author of 7 books: “Barbarians at The Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco” Vendetta: American Express and the Smearing of Edmond Safra Dragonfly: NASA and the Crisis Aboard Mir (1998) Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34 (2004) The Big Rich: The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes (2009) Days of Rage: America's Radical Underground, the FBI, and the Forgotten Age of Revolutionary Violence (2015) Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth (2021, with Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford) Two of his books have been turned into movies. “Barbarians At The Gate” was produced by HBO in 1993. The film won both the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie and the Golden Globe for Best Television Movie while James Garner won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Movie. “Public Enemies” was distributed by Universal Pictures in 2009. Directed by Michael Mann, and starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Stephen Dorff and Stephen Graham. It grossed $214 Million at the box office.

With the Bark Off: Conversations from the LBJ Presidential Library
The legend of the battle of the Alamo is not only an intrinsic part of Texas lore but is enshrined in the American imagination—a band of fiery rebels fighting for independence who die as martyrs in the cause of liberty. But a new book, “Forget the Alamo!” argues that the Alamo myth is just that—an allegory that tells us what we want to believe about the Alamo, but not what actually happened. Written by Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, and Jason Stanford, “Forget the Alamo!” has not been without its critics. A recent event at the Bullock Texas State History Museum was cancelled hours beforehand by Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, who called it a “fact-free rewriting of Texas history.” Guest host LBJ Library Director Mark Lawrence talks to two of the book's authors—Bryan Burrough and Chris Tomlinson—about what history really says about the Battle of the Alamo and why the myth that so many want to preserve has endured so long.

When I was a kid I learned about the Alamo. It's 1836. Houston said to Travis, fortify the Alamo. Volunteers came from across the continent to fight and die for the dream of a free and independent Texas. Like the Ballad said, One hundred and eighty five holding back five thousand.In the southern part of Texas, near the town of San Antone, like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone. And he sees the cattle grazing where a century before Santa Anna's guns were blazing and the cannons used to roar. And his eyes turn sorta misty and his heart begins to glow and he takes his hat off slowly. To the men of the Alamo. To the thirteen days of glory at the siege of Alamo.What a load of bullshit.The Alamo and its effect on Texas, the country, and Phil Collins, is the subject of the new book Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of An American Myth. Two of its three authors are here with me today, Bryan Burrough and Chris Tomlinson. They're both writers and they're both from Texas, so you can be sure that what you're about to hear is the gospel truth.Angry Planet has a substack!

Writer Chris Tomlinson on his book "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth," co-written with Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford for Penguin Press. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/623832/forget-the-alamo-by-bryan-burrough-chris-tomlinson-and-jason-stanford/
(7/7/21/) Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. And no piece of history is more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. But as Vanity Fair correspondent Bryan Burrough reveals in his new book Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth, co-authored with Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford, that so-called historical retelling is nothing more than a fantasy. Join us for a clear-eyed look at this legendary chapter in American history in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
Joy Reid leads The ReidOut with Americans facing a choice between the real world where coronavirus cases are falling and the economy is bouncing back -- and a fantasy world where the election was stolen and everything is a culture war. Journalist Eugene Daniels joins Joy on whether Democrats have a sense of urgency about what many perceive as stark rifts between the parties, and existential threats to our democracy coming from many corners of the GOP. Then, QAnon conspiracies and the reported links between Trump supporters, White nationalism, and neo-fascism in American politics particularly on the right and in the GOP are analyzed by experts. Dean Obeidallah also discusses what he sees as the reluctance of many to calling the Jan. 6 insurrection terrorism, as we bring you the latest on the Capitol insurrection court cases. Additionally, Chris Tomlinson, co-author of "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth," explains how the Texas GOP shut down a discussion of the Alamo and slavery based on this book. All this and much more in this special 2-hour edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Subscribe at jasonstanford.substack.comJason and I talked about how what we know of as the story of the battle of the Alamo came to be, why its been only fairly recently that those 13 days in Texas history have been subject to academic rigor and the impact Phil Collins has had on the current debate — yes, that Phil Collins.
Gov. Greg Abbott recently signed into law the “1836 Project” to promote Texas history. Author Bryan Burrough joins host Krys Boyd to talk about arguably the state's most famous story – The Alamo – and why its role in preserving slavery is often written out of Texas lore. His book, written with co-authors Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford, is “Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth.”
FORGET THE ALAMO? Not in this lifetime, Bubba! Ho, ho! Best selling authors Bryan Burrough and Jason Stanford join us this week to discuss their new lightning rod-cum-New York Times Notable book for the month of June “Forget The Alamo.” Stanford and Burrough (along with third author Chris Tomlinson, who had a scheduling conflict) discuss the factors that led them to write their book, the differences between The Heroic Anglo Narrative and historical truths, and how The Alamo is shorthand for deep seated pain and racism for many of their Tejano brothers. The book is thoroughly sourced, well written, and thought provoking – if you read it, you'll be taken by many of their descriptions of the battle of the Alamo, and the brutality of life on The Frontier, and the making of Texas as an independent nation and as a state. It's a complicated story that has been simplified into something like a biblical parable – and no one ever gets mad about what's in The Bible do they?

Remember the Alamo? According to Texas lore, it's the site in San Antonio where, in 1836, about 180 Texan rebels died defending the state during Texas' war for independence from Mexico. But in a new book, Bryan Burrough (along with co-writers Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford) challenge the historical lore of the Alamo — including the story that Davy Crockett refused to surrender. "Most academics now believe, based on Mexican accounts and contemporary accounts, that, in fact, [Crockett] did surrender and was executed," Burrough says. His book is 'Forget the Alamo.'Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews 'Republic of Detours' by Scott Borchert.

Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth by Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson, Jason Stanford “Lively and absorbing. . ." — The New York Times Book Review "Engrossing." —Wall Street Journal “Entertaining and well-researched . . . ” —Houston Chronicle Three noted Texan writers combine forces to tell the real story of the Alamo, dispelling the myths, exploring why they had their day for so long, and explaining why the ugly fight about its meaning is now coming to a head. Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. There's no piece of history more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. However, that version of events, as Forget the Alamo definitively shows, owes more to fantasy than reality. Just as the site of the Alamo was left in ruins for decades, its story was forgotten and twisted over time, with the contributions of Tejanos--Texans of Mexican origin, who fought alongside the Anglo rebels--scrubbed from the record, and the origin of the conflict over Mexico's push to abolish slavery papered over. Forget the Alamo provocatively explains the true story of the battle against the backdrop of Texas's struggle for independence, then shows how the sausage of myth got made in the Jim Crow South of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear, celebrating the Alamo has long had an echo of celebrating whiteness. In the past forty-some years, waves of revisionists have come at this topic, and at times have made real progress toward a more nuanced and inclusive story that doesn't alienate anyone. But we are not living in one of those times; the fight over the Alamo's meaning has become more pitched than ever in the past few years, even violent, as Texas's future begins to look more and more different from its past. It's the perfect time for a wise and generous-spirited book that shines the bright light of the truth into a place that's gotten awfully dark.
History is one thing, and mythology is another. And at times, of course, these two can overlap, or blur, or get confused in a big way. Such is the case with the Alamo, as our guest argues on ST. Longtime journalist Chris Tomlinson is a columnist for The Houston Chronicle and The San Antonio Express-News, and he's one of the authors of an attention-grabbing new book titled "Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth." As was noted of this wotk in Publishers Weekly: "Substantive yet wryly humorous.... Skillfully drawing on primary and secondary sources, the authors show that Stephen F. Austin, who established a colony of American settlers in Texas in the 1820s, fought to protect slavery from Mexican legislators' desire to abolish it, and that the independence movement was focused on preserving Texas's slave-based cotton economy. Enriched by its breezy tone and fair-minded approach, this is an essential look at the Alamo from the perspective of today's racial reckoning."
Most Americans know the story of the Battle of the Alamo as the iconic stand led by Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, William Barret Travis, and other rebels who gallantly fought for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. It is an origin story that has become the beating heart of Texas exceptionalism. The legend is also an American touchstone, a symbol of national resolve. But our next guest, Chris Tomlinson, says that version of events owes more to fantasy than reality. The new book "Forget The Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth" takes a look at the Alamo myth, its creation and its stubborn endurance—from the historic battle to the present day. Chris Tomlinson is a columnist for the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News and the author of the New York Times-bestselling "Tomlinson Hill" about his family's slave-owning history in Texas.

On Tuesday's Houston Matters: Gov. Greg Abbott has signed into law a bill banning any “governmental entity” from creating so-called “vaccine passports” that would certify someone's vaccination status or share it for any reason other than for health care. The new law comes as unvaccinated Houston Methodist nurses staged a walkout Monday over that hospital group's requirement that its employees be vaccinated or risk suspension -- or even termination. Does this new law affect that policy? And might any other hospital or health care groups follow Methodist's lead? Also this hour: Houston City Councilman Edward Pollard answers your questions. Then, a new book dispels many of the myths about the siege of The Alamo in 1836 and explores how those untruths took hold in our public conscience. We talk with Chris Tomlinson, one of a trio of co-authors of Forget the Alamo. And poet Edward Hirsch, formerly a professor at the University of Houston's creative writing program, discusses how poets throughout the ages addressed grief and how poetry can make something beautiful out of sorrow. It's the subject of his latest book, 100 Poems to Break Your Heart.

We had a super-unique and stimulating session today all about interactions between the energy industry, the media, public opinion and energy policy. We were lucky to be joined by two experts in the field: Jim Krane, Ph.D., Author and Wallace S. Wilson Fellow for Energy Studies at Rice University's Baker Institute and Chris Tomlinson, Author and Business Columnist for the Houston Chronicle. With Jim and Chris's backgrounds, we were able to cover several topics including journalism, energy in the classroom, climate change, Jim and Chris's time spent in the Middle East and the ethical trade-offs in energy and the environment to name a few. It was a far reaching and lively discussion. As you will hear, we didn't always agree and we touched on some hard topics... but in the spirit of what we are trying to do at COBT, we found two great friends today and we learned from them. Thank you Jim and Chris! As always, the TPH crew kicked off with today's scoop: Mike Bradley discussed the DAPL decision deadline coming up this Friday as well as recent talks to revive the Iran Nuclear Deal. Matt Portillo shared a few updates from the TPH Research team including a review of the recent Virtual Battery Workshop held last week, their recent Solar Forecast Report and the rise of interest in Carbon Capture technologies. Colin Fenton prepared a few slides covering an update on producer's hedging strategies and COVID-19 data on vaccinations and the possibility for herd immunity in the near future.Thank you, as always, for watching!

Columnist Chris Tomlinson weighs in on the state of things at the six-month mark of the pandemic. 2020, he says, has been a really horrible year, but there are so many different ways things could go so much worse. "When," he asks, "was the last time uniformed groups of armed men, with no government sanction whatsoever, marched through the streets in full combat gear? That is happening routinely in the United States today. And it's not just the right wing, it's the left wing too. Everyone is arming up." Connect with Chris Tomlinson.

With Texas topping half a million COVID-19 cases and 10,000 deaths, Business columnist Chris Tomlinson observes, "We're just a third of the way into this. We're at the end of the beginning." Having endured five months of shutdown and spread, Tomlinson says, we must wait at least five months for a vaccine and five additional months before people are vaccinated and life can start to approach normalcy. Further, he says we are "actually hitting the crux, because the fall is going to move people indoors. That's going to cause more infections. That's why we're going to see more lockdowns, more businesses shut down. We're going to see all those colleges shut down and send their kids back home because they can't manage the infections."

Business columnist Chris Tomlinson details why he thinks June could be the most consequential month of our lifetimes: Forty million people have applied for unemployment in the last two months. Will the economy’s reopening lead to a deadly second wave of COVID-19 or limited normalcy? A culture war rages and the President's disappointing behavior over the last few months has made things worse. According to Chris, there's no reason to believe a coming economic storm is not going to last a long time.

Former NFL star LaDainian Tomlinson began the last section of his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech with “If this was my last day on Earth, and this my final speech,” then shared the story of his family. It is a story of West Africans, slaves, freemen, that is inextricably linked with Chris Tomlinson’s family story of slave owners, Klansmen, political and social power brokers. LaDainian Tomlinson is black. Chris Tomlinson is white. Chris Tomlinson joined this episode of “Bring It To Jerome” and gives details of these family histories, in many ways this family’s history … the story of Tomlinson Hill.
Chris Tomlinson is the writer's writer, with decades of experience as a war correspondent that revealed human nature at its worst. His insights on truth, freedom and hope are not to be missed.

I know another crazy headline. You'd think I was just doing it to be provocative, but if you listen to today's show, you'll find out I'm completely serious. Uber has now made it possible for you to lease a new car regardless of your credit if you agree to drive for them. What does the nanny state think about this? Well, Uber is exploiting the poor of course! How might you ask? Well, that's the funny part. You see most people who need jobs are poor. And by Uber offering them a car and a job they are making the poor, unemployed, desperate American dependent on Uber. By that standard, every single employer in America is exploiting it's workers since the employee is dependent on the company to pay their bills. A fact that was conveniently overlooked by Chris Tomlinson ignored in his scathing article about Uber in the Houston Chronicle. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do; some socialist, nanny state supporter is going to criticize you for it. We've got a lot more jammed into the show today. It turns out progressives are gearing up for a fight at the Democratic National Convention. And I don't mean that figuratively. Bernie Sanders supporters are gearing up for a literal fight at the DNC and are passing out information on how to deal with things like tear gas and how to render first aid when protests become militant. It's a crazy show today. Listen Now.Support the show.
In writing this book, Chris Tomlinson asks himself the question, "What crimes had my ancestors committed to maintain their power and privilege? Did they know what they did was wrong? As an American and Texan, I wanted to understand the sins of our fathers."
“There are black people in town who have the same last name as me, and I never thought about why that might be.” Author Chris Tomlinson says he hears that a lot while touring for his recent book, called Tomlinson Hill: The Remarkable Story of Two Families Who Share the Tomlinson Name—One White, One Black. In it, he traces his family’s history to a cotton plantation in Texas, and reaches out to another Tomlinson family whose ancestors were held as slaves there. Slavery is a topic that brings up strong feelings in Americans, because as Chris points out, it was part of our country’s economic and social as recently as five generations ago. But he says it wasn’t white guilt that motivated his work on the book. “I’m not asking forgiveness for what my great grandfather did,” he says. “On the other hand, I do have an obligation to recognize the privilege that I have because my ancestors oppressed people.” Chris says slavery, the Jim Crow era, and the institutionalized racism that has always been present in the United States have afforded white people unfair advantages, and it isn’t helpful to ignore that reality. “Until 1964, no white member of my family ever had to compete with a person of color to get a job or to get a privilege. And even today I can go places and I’m treated in a different way.” Tomlinson Hill is a fascinating look at how the remnants of slavery are still present in our every day lives—sometimes even our last names. In our Juicy Fruit segment this week, we talk about Ray Rice, former running back for the Baltimore Ravens who was released from the team after TMZ posted video this week of him physically attacking his then-girlfriend in an elevator. The assault happened in March, but at the time, Rice received only a two-game suspension. Accounts differ about whether the NFL saw the footage then, or not until this week. Rice and his girlfriend were married subsequent to the attack, spurring understandable concern from experts and survivors (domestic violence rarely happens just once, and usually escalates with each incident). Others blamed Janay Rice for staying with and marrying the man who had knocked her unconscious. Financial scholar and commentator (and Louisville native) Dr. Boyce Watkins penned an open letter to Janay Rice, praising her for her decision to stay with her abuser. We read an excerpt from his letter on this week’s show—specifically this passage, which was widely scorned on social media: For every woman who made the mistake of staying in a relationship with a perpetually abusive man, there is another woman who is glad she made the choice to keep her family together. Some will call these women stupid or the product of male manipulation; I call them heroes, ultimate mothers, and powerful people. At the very least, women deserve to have a say in what happens to their families without paternalistic eavesdroppers forcing them to do something they don’t want to do. With black families being torn apart left and right by the pitfalls of extreme feminism, we should appreciate situations where someone isn’t seeking to throw the baby out with the bathwater and destroying their family at the drop of a hat. Dr. Story points out that while most domestic and sexual violence is intra-racial, black women feel pressure to excuse the violence visited upon them by black men. “Black women have been living with these things in silence for fear that if they air it, they’re somehow race traitors or they’re selling their man out.” She calls for black male thinkers and writers to speak up when high-profile black men commit violent crimes against black women. “You got contempt for Darren Wilson? You need to have contempt for Ray Rice,” she explains. “Both parties felt as if it was their right to be able to do anything they wanted to a black body.”

In segment one, Fisher's Family Histoire News covers the research results covering an 18th century boat found under the World Trade Center four years ago. You'll be amazed what researchers were able to learn about this 200 year old ship! Plus, the odds were ridiculous. Find out about a young girl who drew the name of an Englishman who was killed in World War I, and learned he was her great great great uncle! Fisher visits with guest Chris Tomlinson about the first family history he ever wrote. (It just made the New York Times Bestsellers list!) "Tomlinson Hill" tracks Chris' ancestry back to his great great grandparents who were slave owners in Texas. He then followed the history of the "white Tomlinsons" as well as the "black Tomlinsons," descendants of the slaves his ancestors owned. Those descendants include football great Ladainian Tomlinson. He discusses the differences in the course of these families through the years and how this creates a broader view of race relations today. Then Tom Perry, Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com, returns. He and Fisher share insights into the best ways to get the best stories out of your senior family members... and some are a little sneaky!
When Barack Obama was elected President, we heard lots of loose talk about this being a post racial society. It was as if a magic pill had taken the issue of race and identity out of our consciousness.Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, arguably, we are further behind in erasing our racial legacy than other parts of the world. And part of that reason is that we have yet to achieve a shared truth about the American experience of slavery and bigotry.While we've done a good job of trying to move beyond that legacy, like a weed, not pulled out from the root, it comes back to haunt us, because of our difficulty in dealing with its true history.That’s the history that Chris Tomlinson takes on, with respect to his own family, in his book and in the documentary Tomlinson Hill: The Remarkable Story of Two Families who Share the Tomlinson Name - One White, One Black.My conversation with Chris Tomlinson:
After four years of intensive training, this weekend's Aviva 2012 athletic trials will decide which track and field athletes will make Team GB.
