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. That He makes intercession on behalf of Believers according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27.   A message from QBBC to you:   “If you are looking for a church in the Canberra, NSW Australia area that preaches the Truth from God's Word, reach out to us at any time.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode librarians Andy, Briony, and Sam discuss their most recent reads over the summer.

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.

Those in the political world know Jason Stanford as the founder of the opposition research firm Stanford Campaigns - which is still going strong after 20+ years. He's also a prolific writer, with a new book out. Forget the Alamo chronicles the history of the Alamo, starting before the first shot was fired to the present day as the Alamo continues to roil Texas politics.

It's Politex Monday and we are back with Episode #4.   Last week was action-packed at the Capitol, and I am joined by two great guests to help us dig deeper into the headlines you may have read:   Chris Tomlinson, Business Columnist for the Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News, joined me to discuss the insufficient state response to last month's winter storm and how the Texas Legislature can ensure meaningful reform moving forward.   My colleague Jessica González, Vice Chair of the House Committee on Elections, talked to me about Texas Republicans' ham-fisted attempt to suppress democracy through House Bill 6 and how we can push back.
