This episode is dedicated to Angelina Resendiz. Your presence made an impact that will never be forgotten. This conversation is for you — and because of you.   The crew is joined by AZCM (Ret.) Courtney Barber. The episode opens with a debate about The Carter III and whether or not it's overrated. From there, the conversation turns to Tyler Perry's Straw, Teyana Taylor's performance, and whether streaming releases are in the same league as theatrical films. Spoiler alert — they also react to the twist ending and discuss how the film handles grief, breakdowns, and trauma. The crew reflects on time spent in New Orleans, the weight of anniversaries, and moments that still linger. They congratulate James Sandifer on being elected mayor of Lumberton. Then the conversation shifts to the Army's 250th birthday celebration and questions around military spending, followed by VADM Cheeseman's retirement, a first look at the new CPO eval, and a photo of a Master Chief that sparked questions about standards and image. They also touch on the renaming of military bases, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's recent appearance before Congress, and the challenge of applying today's mindset to past decisions. Tisha closes by sharing thoughts on working in a job that doesn't align with your values — and what it means to try to make a difference anyway.

The hemp event of the summer is taking place in Raleigh, North Carolina, July 15-17. It's the Global Industrial Hemp Fiber Summit, hosted by the Wilson College of Textiles, in conjunction with the National Industrial Hemp Council. This week on the Hemp Show, we'll talk to the lead organizer of the event, Guy Carpenter. Unlike other events focused on industrial hemp, this summit centers squarely on hemp fiber and the industries that are growing up around fiber: textiles, apparel, denim, upholstery, non-wovens, construction, hempcrete, insulation, acoustic panels, automotive, biocomposites, door panels, dashboards, paper, packaging, bioenergy, bioplastics and more. Just don't expect cannabinoids, CBD, Delta-8, hemp-derived intoxicants, or any discussion of the floral side of cannabis. According to Carpenter, this event is all about building the fiber industry. "If you have any interest whatsoever in starting a business in our industry and figuring out how to make it work and also figuring out what are the starting points, what are the roadblocks, what are the opportunities … this is the place to be,” he said. The three-day event will include panel discussions with industry experts, as well as field trips to NC State hemp fields, local manufacturing centers and the largest and newest hemp processing facility on the East Coast, recently opened by Biophil Natural Fibers in Lumberton, North Carolina. Carpenter said the summit will cover “everything from seed to decortication … whatever type of segment of the fiber you want to use, we're going to have people here who are experts at it." Carpenter has dedicated his life to natural fibers. He's worked in fashion and apparel, international textile manufacturing, and policy development. After the Army and the Peace Corps, his professional journey in the apparel industry took him all over the world, eventually studying hemp fiber production in China. His vast industry knowledge is a pivotal resource as his home state of North Carolina ramps up hemp for textiles. He brings an unmatched experience and credibility as the organizer of the summit. Carpenter said this event follows in the tradition of the Montana Hemp Summit, hosted by IND Hemp in previous years, which means the summit will be less of a celebration of hemp and more of a working session to move the industry forward, and the people who attend are the people building the industry. “They're not just out there promoting hemp for its magical powers or its halo of goodness… but figuring out ways to make money from it,” he said. “This is the place to be." Also this week, we read a few hemp excerpts from USDA's 1913 Yearbook.

About our guest: Lieutenant Commander (Ret.) James Sandifer, a proud native of Lumberton, Mississippi, served 30 years in the United States Navy. Rising from E-1 to Lieutenant Commander, he built a decorated career in air traffic control and leadership across multiple global deployments and operational theaters. Sandifer is a combat-tested veteran who supported Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, with tours onboard CVNs like the USS George Washington and USS Harry S. Truman. His military journey is rooted in faith, mentorship, and resilience. Now back home and running for mayor of Lumberton, Sandifer's “Choose to Change” campaign is focused on unity, youth empowerment, infrastructure reform, and restoring pride in the community.   About This Episode: In this episode, Damo, Tisha, and Aaron sit down with retired Navy Lieutenant Commander James Sandifer—Lumberton, Mississippi native and current mayoral candidate—for a candid and inspiring conversation about leadership, legacy, and choosing to change your community from the inside out. James reflects on his upbringing in a small Southern town, the values he inherited working hayfields and watermelon farms, and how that foundation set the tone for a 30-year career in the U.S. Navy. He opens up about early career missteps, nearly getting derailed during his first tour in Puerto Rico, and the life-altering mentorship that set him on a new trajectory. From rising through the ranks to Chief and ultimately retiring as a Lieutenant Commander, James shares the hard lessons he learned about leadership, ego, humility, and faith. He talks about earning respect in the air traffic control community despite being told he wouldn't make it, and how mentorship from both Black and white leaders helped mold his character. The episode also explores Sandifer's return home to a town that's seen population decline, economic challenges, and systemic neglect. He breaks down his “Choose to Change” campaign platform, highlighting issues like school district failures, sewage infrastructure, poverty, and racial division. But more importantly, he speaks on unity, youth empowerment, and what it truly means to serve after service. We also get lighter moments: push-up competitions on the campaign trail, his Waffle House order, and why Cuevas Fish House will always outrank Ruth's Chris in his book.

I can tell you the exact date and place: October 16, 1986, at the Fine Arts Theater in downtown Chicago. I got to come of age as a moviegoer in the corporate dominated, era of the late 70's and early 80's. I was a child of "Jaws", "Star Wars", Indy and "Back to the Future". With occasional exceptions like "Stranger than Paradise" and "Blade Runner", American film in the early and mid 80's felt corporate and soulless. And then I saw "Blue Velvet", and my moviegoing life was saved. Skip now to nearly four years later, to those glorious two months in the spring of 1990 when "Twin Peaks" changed everything that television was and could be. For these moments, and so many more, we use Episode 60 to pay a last tribute to Hollywood's favorite Eagle Scout, the irreplaceable David Lynch. What separates Lynch from almost every other filmmaker, was that whereas most great directors were filmmakers who evolved into artists, Lynch was an artist (a celebrated painter, composer) who happened to choose filmmaking as his major means of expression. And when the filmmaking money dried up after "Inland Empire"'s failure, he simply turned to other art forms to express what he wanted to say. Lynch was most certainly a surrealist, every bit as much as Dali, Magritte or De Chirico were, but he was, as one critic termed him, a “populist surrealist”. In his films, the line between dream and reality (or between reality and film in his later works) is blurred. This makes sense, since surrealism is founded on dreams and dreamlike juxtapositions. Lynch, like those great painters he so admired and emulated, was an artist of the unconscious and the uncanny. But for all the serious artistic ambition, everything he created was leavened with that art-school sense of humor, off-center and dry as a bone. For all of his unsettling imagery and the deep questions his work raised about the nature of identity, he seemed, at least from the outside, to have led the happiest of lives. Raised mainly in Missoula, Montana, Lynch often paid tribute to the simple quotidian beauties of life in small-town America (think Twin Peaks, Lumberton, the Iowa and Wisconsin towns we see in "The Straight Story") while also, as in the opening of "Blue Velvet", reminding us of the darkness that often lies just beneath those finely-manicured lawns. For all of his artistic sophistication, he never even came close to an artsy sense of condescending irony; it's perfect that he spent the last years of his life sending in daily weather reports to the LA public radio station for broadcast. No winks, no air quotes—just the desire to share a genuine excitement about the miracles of nature. And for an artist who was such a unique stylist that he was one of the last to become an adjective (we all know “Lynchian” filmmaking when we see it), he was at the same time constantly paying tribute to film history; consider the endless "Wizard of Oz" references in "Wild at Heart", or casting just about all of the hot new movie stars of 1961 in the original "Twin Peaks" series. How perfectly fitting it was, then, to watch him, in his final and uncredited big screen appearance, playing a cranky John Ford in Spielberg's "The Fablemans". For our tribute to Lynch (which is more than they did for him at this year's Oscars), we eschewed our usual formula and chose not to do a chronological reckoning of Lynch's work and its impact from "Eraserhead" to "Inland Empire". This episode, like the director's work itself, is more associative and non-linear. In the end, we conclude that David Lynch, that Man from Another Place, is someone whose absence makes the world that much poorer a spot to live in. To quote the repeated incantation from "Blue Velvet", now it's dark.

Jay McElroy was born and raised on a small farm in Cuba, AL, where he spent his childhood roaming the fields and woods surrounding his home. He attended Bass Memorial Academy in Lumberton, MS, graduating in 1984, and then pursued higher education at Southern Adventist University, where he earned his degree and married Stefanie in 1987. After college, he worked for two years before enrolling at the University of Alabama with Stefanie, where he earned an MBA alongside her. Following graduation, he moved back to Cuba, AL, with Stefanie, joining the family trucking business, where he remains today. Jay and Stefanie have two married sons, four grandchildren, and a fifth grandchild due soon. Growing up in the rural South laid the foundation for his love of the outdoors, which evolved into a passion for ultra-distance endurance events. He has completed three Ironman races, seven 100-mile races, and two 200-mile events, in addition to dozens of shorter-distance competitions. His passion for endurance sports began with a desire to improve his health and redirect the path he was on. In this conversation, Marty and Jay explore physical fitness as a core male strength. Jay emphasizes mental toughness over physical limits, sharing tales of frostbite and hallucinations, yet finding God's awe in nature. Despite a spinal fusion at 40, intestinal surgery, and melanoma, he thrives by staying active. Rest—8-8.5 hours nightly—and Sabbath renewal are vital, rooted in scriptures like Ecclesiastes 9 (“do it with all your might”). With a supportive wife, Jay urges men to set goals, push limits, and embrace trail running's spiritual rewards. His message: take the first step—whether a 5K or beyond—to unlock God-given potential, blending physical endurance with faith and resilience. Send Your Ask Marty Anything Question HereBlueprint for Men is a ministry that empowers husbands, fathers, and leaders to live like Jesus.

Zu Beginn des Jahres hat die Welt der Künste eine kreative Stimme verloren: David Lynch, der Meister des Surrealen ist tot. Sein ikonisches Werk, darunter „Eraserhead“, „Mulholland Drive“ und die Kultserie „Twin Peaks“, hat die Grenzen des Kinos neu definiert und uns in absurde Traumwelten voller Geheimnisse entführt. Sein unverwechselbarer Stil – eine Mischung aus düsterem Humor, hypnotisierenden Bildern und der Gewalt im Alltäglichen – hat die Filmgeschichte nachhaltig geprägt. In dieser Folge widmen wir uns als kleine Verbeugung seinem Kultfilm „Blue Velvet“ von 1986. Ein Werk, das Lynchs Emanzipation von Hollywood markiert und ihm die Freiheit gab, ab sofort maximal „Lynch-ig“ zu sein. Doch macht die bizarre Geschichte rund um Sexualität, Macht und Gewalt einen guten Film aus? Oder ist es einfach nur sinnfrei-prätentiöse Kunst?

I meet and befriend a homeless woman.by Sénor Longo. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.CHAPTER 1.To be continued, by Sénor Longo.It was the sign I saw first. “HOMELESS,” it said; just some marker on a torn sheet of cardboard about three feet high and less than two wide. “Anything will help. Please!” I looked around at the modern shopping center and the hundreds of mostly new cars and wondered not for the first time how something like this could happen. Then I wondered what would happen tonight when the temperature was supposed to go down to 23; nine degrees below freezing. By this time I had driven my Honda Accord past the unfortunate guy and was on the way to the highway.I'm no softy. I grew up just outside New York City and I've seen beggars aplenty; both in the city and on gambling junkets down in Atlantic City, where the boardwalk is infested with them. In the past I'd just driven or walked on, ignoring and not even making eye contact, but something about this bothered me. I'd taken early retirement; really early, and moved to “warmer climes,” as the saying goes. I lived now north of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where everyone seemed to have plenty of money; money for golf, restaurants, shows and clubs in addition to the necessities of life; yet there were still some with no food and no shelter, and worse; no hope. Here, where there were so many with so much, there was still someone who could freeze to death in a matter of hours.Instead of the highway I turned into Home Depot to swing around in a circle that would bring me back to the desolate soul leaning there against the stop sign. Parking my car nearby in the huge lot I walked up to the beggar. “I'd give you some money, buddy, but what guarantee do I have that you won't spend it on cheap booze or snort it up your nose?”“You have my word, Mister.” I was taken aback by the voice. I had expected it to be gruff; matching the rough clothes and heavy boots, but it wasn't. Then, taking a really close look, I saw this beggars face was clean shaven; okay, not shaven, but hairless. Hidden under the knit cap and heavy sweatshirt and jeans was, I was sure, a woman.Reaching out, I lifted the beggar to his/her feet and pulled the cap from its head. Several cars had driven past when her auburn hair fell around her dirty face. “I don't believe it. You're a girl!”“Nobody's called me a girl in years. I'm a woman and what's not to believe?”“Mind telling me how old you are? And what the hell are you doing here?”“Why is it your business?”“You're sitting here begging for money and I have some, but I'm not turning any over to you until I get some answers.” I'd noticed that the sun was setting and in the few minutes I'd been here the temperature had dropped ten degrees. I was getting cold and I was dressed in heavier clothes than she was. “Why don't we continue this conversation in my car where it's a lot warmer?”“So you can rape me? I don't think so.”“You know, for a beggar you're awfully particular. I'm trying to help you and all I get is lip. I have half a mind to put you over my knee.”She appeared shocked at my words, but slowly followed my lead as I walked to my car. I held the door for her then walked around to the driver's seat. “So, why don't you tell me your story? How on earth did you wind up here?”“I think I'd rather hear your story before I share mine. How do I know I can trust you?”I was tempted to laugh, but I didn't. Actually, the more I thought the more I considered it a good idea. “Okay, that's fair enough, my name is Douglas Robert Preston, Doug. I'm 34 and I'm officially retired.”“At 34?”“Yeah. Ever hear of the computer learning programs, 'S A T for Idiots' or ‘A S V A B for Idiots' or ‘Spanish for Idiots'? I wrote that entire series; all twenty-three of them, and I made a real good living, especially since there were only three people in my company. I wrote code in my home office while my secretary and bookkeeper kept track of orders in my dining room. It was great; no commuting, no arguing with partners, and since I had no actual physical product, no production or mailing or returns costs. My customers downloaded every program and my overhead was almost nothing, less than a hundred and twenty thousand a year. Virtually all of that was for my employees' salaries and our insurance premiums.“I was clearing close to a million dollars a year after taxes and then I got a brilliant idea; ‘Investments for Idiots.' There are plenty of computer programs for every subject under the sun, but the investment field is like a deep dark jungle. I often think that the so-called experts make it that way so they can justify the billions they make at the public's expense. My instructional programs analyzed a person's errors and created new remedial lessons. The investment program works much the same way in that it asks questions just like the other programs, but it takes the data you put in on a stock, bond, or mutual fund and actually analyzes the information using daily info it picks up from the internet then it tells you what to do. It can even analyze stocks and bonds at random and make recommendations or do the whole buying and selling process automatically. To test it I used it every day for almost two years and it never made even a single mistake. I made millions; returning more than twenty percent in a market that was static at best, so much that the SEC came knocking at my door, thinking I had some inside information. Unfortunately, their “secure investigation” leaked like a sieve.“I can't tell you the name of the company, but when they learned about my program they figured their gravy train would be toast. Why pay some jerk five percent commission year after year when you could buy all of his expertise and more for a few hundred dollars? A few days later I answered my door and they were there with a bunch of lawyers wanting to buy me out. Their offer was too good to ignore. I sold the entire company and the rights to all of my programs. Even after taxes I still had more than I could spend in a lifetime. They agreed to hire my two employees for a minimum of five years at the same salary and benefits and I walked away with more than a hundred million, how much more will have to be my secret for the time being.”“What? You made a hundred million and you're driving an effing Honda?”“Why not? A car is just a way to get from point A to point B. A Honda does that as well as a Mercedes and it's a lot cheaper to maintain. This car has almost everything a Mercedes or BMW would have at less than half the price. What's not to like? Anyway, I moved south to get away from the snow and here I am. Now you know my story; what's yours?”She looked down and took a deep breath. “My name is Jessica Fuller, Jessie. I'm twenty-three and I've been on my own since I was seventeen. I ran away from home because my step-father was raping me several times a week.”“Couldn't you have gone to the police?”She laughed. “That rat bastard was the county sheriff. He had me watched like a hawk, told everyone it was for my protection because he claimed I was out of control. I was an honor roll student back in high school. How out of control could I have been? I had just graduated when he and my mother went on a cruise, leaving me home alone. One of the deputies was supposed to look in on me, but one night I bolted right after he left. I took my mother's car and drove it down to the train station thinking that might throw them off the track then I grabbed my backpack and hiked five miles out to the interstate where I hitched a ride.“I'm no fool. I knew I'd have to come across as payment for a lot of the rides either with a blow job or fucking. It was worth any price to get away from that asshole. My mother was no better. I tried to tell her what was happening and she called me a liar then she hit me and accused me of trying to steal her man. What the fuck? Why the hell would I want a fifty year-old man with a gut like Santa Claus?“I figured that if I just kept on traveling I'd be able to keep myself away from them. That's what I've been doing for the past five years; hitching rides and staying alive. I can't tell you how many men I've fucked in that time, but I'm away from him. Every now and then I call a friend and she gives me the low-down on everything since my last call. Seems the mighty sheriff has had his hand in the till and the state cops are all over him. With luck he might get himself arrested. My last big ride was with a long-haul trucker; a nice guy who didn't even try to get his way with me. He fed me and let me sleep in his cab for three days, but he reached the end of the line out in Lumberton, you know, up in North Carolina. I got a ride here from a Canadian couple day before yesterday. That's my story. Not much, is it?”“I don't know. Seems you're a survivor. I think a lot of people would have given up by now. Ever think of settling in one place and getting a job?”“My step-father would be all over me as soon as my employer listed my social security number and I got a paycheck. I'm free of him, but I'm fucked job-wise.”I sat silently for a few minutes before speaking. “You'd better buckle up. Driving in parking lots can be dangerous.”“Where are we going?”“Walmart, I can't take you to dinner looking like that. You'll need some new clothes and let me see your head for a second. Hmmm, you have head lice. Not too surprising considering how you've been living. We'll have to get something to treat it.”“Why are you doing this? You don't know me.”“Neither have any of the men who've picked you up since you've been on the road. Let's just say for now that I don't want to read that you've frozen to death when I pick up tomorrow's paper.” I started the car and drove maybe a quarter mile, parking only a few slots from Walmart's entrance. I sent her in to the women's clothing department with instructions to get at least three sets of everything; more for underwear, bras, and socks. “See about some sneakers and maybe some shoes. If there's nothing you like there's a shoe store right down the lot, maybe a hundred yards. I'm off to the pharmacy to get something for your hair. I think I'll get you some regular shampoo and conditioner, too.” I pushed a cart in her direction then took one of my own. She turned left and I turned right when we were in the huge store.I had to wait on line to speak with a pharmacist, but that was hardly a surprise. It was Walmart, after all. I explained briefly about the problem and she recommended a product on the shelves, telling me that a fine-toothed comb was included. After listening to her instructions closely I picked up a bottle of the shampoo then went looking for some other “necessities.” Shampoo and conditioner were first then a toothbrush and some mild soap for her face. I already had plenty of deodorant soap. I picked up some razors and shaving cream and some anti-perspirant. Then I walked into foreign territory; feminine hygiene products. I had no idea what she used so I got one of each figuring that we could just leave the others at the cashier. Thinking that I had everything I walked away, but turned back when I realized she would need a comb and brush, at least.I found her in the women's department with three pairs of Levi's, two pairs of Capri's, four tops, and a sweater. “I hope it's not too much.”“No, if anything it's not enough, but it'll be enough for now. How about some underwear and socks Then we can throw your old stuff into the trash. I don't see any jackets here. Take a look at what I have and we can pick up the rest of the clothes.” She looked at all the feminine products and laughed. “Well, I assume you have your period. You're too young for menopause and I had no idea what you used.”“Most of the time it was whatever rag I could find. Thanks.” She picked up a box of tampons and put them in her cart then I added everything not a feminine product and abandoned my cart. A few minutes later we had bras; 34B's, and panties and socks. Amazingly, we found a cashier line with only one person ahead of us. Once we had checked out we returned to the car and I drove down to the shoe store. One of the clerks gave Jessie a dirty look which I suppose might have been justified considering her appearance, but my withering glare turned him in the opposite direction fast.Jessie picked out a pair of New Balance sneakers and a pair of basic black; well, I'd call them ‘loafers,' but I was sure they were actually called something else. Back in my car, I drove to my house.“I live about twenty-five minutes away up in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. When we get there I'd like you to go to my guest bathroom. Drop your clothes outside the door. You can lock all three doors so you'll be assured of privacy. Use the medicated shampoo on your hair then if you wrap one of the big towels around your body I'll come in and use the fine-toothed comb to pull out any nits. Now, don't be insulted, but the pharmacist said you might have them in your pubic area, too. She suggested either the shampoo or shaving the area. That would wash any lice and nits down the drain. I think you should check your armpits, too. If we don't get everything the first time around we can continue tomorrow morning. You can have your choice of the extra bedrooms, okay?”“Like I'm going to argue. I assume you'd like to fuck me so why am I sleeping in a separate room?”“Let's get things straightened out before we even think about it. I'll make an appointment with my doctor tomorrow, too. I think you should be tested for STD's. Again, please don't be insulted. Did every one of your partners use a condom? I'll bet not, and you weren't exactly in a position to insist.”I had turned off US-17 North onto NC-179; Beach Road; that would lead straight to my house. I pulled through the gate about ten minutes later. Carrying the bags of clothes into the living room, I stopped before taking all the personal items into the guest bath. I locked the two doors that led to the two adjacent bedrooms and placed everything on the vanity. “Need anything else?”“Some clothes.”“Of course; I'll cut the tags off while you shower and wash your hair. I'll bring in a set of clothes for you when I comb out your hair.” I opened the linen closet and removed a wash cloth and a big thick bath towel. “I think this will cover you. I'll get a trash bag for your clothes. They'll have lice in them so they have to go. Just drop them outside the door. I'll have the bag ready. Make sure you remove any personal items you might have in the pockets. Okay, see you once you've cleaned up then we'll go out to dinner.” I closed the door and heard her lock it. I was back in less than a minute with a heavy-duty trash bag and I was just in time to take the items directly from her outstretched hand.I selected the rear bedroom for her thinking it would be quieter and made the queen bed there before cutting the tags from her clothes and placing them either on hangers in the closet or into drawers in the dresser. I selected a top, bra, panties, Capri's, and socks for her to wear. I was just about finished when I heard her open the door. “Doug?”“I'm right here. Here are some clothes for you. I hope everything matches okay. Why don't you sit on the stool while I comb your hair?” She did and I ran the comb through her hair exactly as the pharmacist had told me to, the teeth flush with her scalp. I must have pulled a hundred nits; lice egg cases; from her scalp before running them down the drain with steaming hot water. I could see the bite marks where the lice had feasted on her blood. What a shame that a decent human being had to live like this.All told I spent almost a half hour combing her hair, even going over the same areas two and three times until the comb was clean. Then I left Jessie to dress. I was somewhat surprised at how well she had cleaned up. I guessed her height at about 5 feet 9 inches and she was painfully thin, no doubt because she hadn't eaten regularly. She had small breasts, I thought for the same reason and narrow hips. Her face was an almost perfect oval with blue eyes and high cheekbones I hadn't noticed before. I left her alone and five minutes later she was ready.CHAPTER 2.I set the house alarm and led her out to my Honda. It really was a pretty decent car. I'd bought it new when I moved here last year. There's a big difference between buying a car in New York and buying one here. For one thing, the sales people actually make you believe they're glad to have you in their showroom. Many times in New York I'd stood around for half an hour while they completely ignored my presence. I only give people like that one chance. I'd never go into that dealership again, but I always made sure to write an explanatory letter to the general manager. The biggest difference was that I paid for this car with a personal check. In New York an official bank check was always required and, even then, I had to sit around the dealership while they called the bank to ensure that it was real.I opened the door for Jessie and backed out into the driveway. A minute later we were back on Beach Road headed toward the nearby village of Calabash. I parked in the lot at Boundary House. It was just after eight so the early rush of senior citizens was long gone. We were shown straight to a table by the hostess. Once we had our menus I asked Jessie, ”Would you like a drink? They might ask you for ID, but maybe not since I come here often.”“It's okay, I have my expired driver's license from Iowa. What would you have? The drink, I mean.”“I usually have a Margarita on the rocks. I enjoy it. You can barely taste the tequila through the lemon-and lime juice in it.”“I think I'll join you.” That was what we ordered when the waitress came to the table. I explained what I knew about the menu. “I've had the baked potato soup several times. I think it's really good. When was the last time you ate?”“Day before yesterday with the Canadian couple; a burger and some fries with a Coke for lunch.”“Then you're probably hungry enough that you can handle the soup. It's pretty filling. Also, the salads here are big and really good with cheese, bacon, and almonds in addition to the standard lettuce and tomatoes. For entrees I suggest the shrimp; grilled or fried; the chicken fingers, ribs, or prime rib. They're all usually pretty good. I had the filet once and it was okay, but just okay. I'm going to have the ribs.”Jessie did order the soup, suggesting we share, the salad with Italian, and the ribs with baked sweet potato. I had the salad with bleu cheese and the ribs with baked potato. I toasted with Jessie once the drinks had arrived. “Here's to better days.”She smiled and took a sip. “Good choice; I really like it.”Now I smiled. “Don't like it too much. They can really sneak up on you. They're stronger than you might think. That's why I never have more than two.” A minute later our soup arrived and I could tell by the expression on her face that it was another good choice. I could also tell that she was reluctant to share, but, after eating about half, she pushed the bowl across the table. I only ate a little bit and returned the bowl to her.I loved the salads here and the accompanying croissant was always fresh and delicious with its drizzle of honey butter. Jessie must have been really hungry because she finished everything and even agreed to share a dessert of New York cheesecake even though she told me she'd never had it before. “Your other suggestions worked out well. I'll trust you on this one.” The restaurant claims their cheesecake is flown i

The tragic death of Mica Miller, the estranged wife of former Pastor John-Paul Miller, has left many questions unanswered and sparked calls for a thorough investigation. Mica Miller, 30, was found dead on April 27 at Lumber River State Park in Lumberton, North Carolina. Her death was ruled a suicide by officials, but her family remains unconvinced and is urging authorities to reexamine the case. In an exclusive interview with NewsNation's Rich McHugh, John-Paul Miller discussed the months leading up to his wife's death and the intense public scrutiny that followed. He revealed his efforts to persuade Mica to take lithium for her mental health struggles and to stay with him. "Now that some of the emotion has died down in the world and with people that are led by their feelings, they deserve to hear some logic and some truth and make their own assessment," he stated.  On the day of her death, Mica Miller drove alone to a pawn shop, purchased a gun and ammunition, then made another stop at a gas station before heading to Lumber River State Park. There, she dialed 911 and informed the operator of her intention to die by suicide and where her body could be found. Police arrived within ten minutes and discovered her body. “I didn't think it was real,” John-Paul Miller said. “I thought her family had made it up and had somebody call me and say that. So that's one big thing. I didn't think it was real. When I found that it was real … You don't want to say I told you so because it's a horrible thing.”  Court documents reveal a tumultuous relationship between Mica and John-Paul Miller, marked by allegations of abuse. Mica accused her husband of stealing her car, installing a tracking device, hospitalizing her against her will, and grooming her since she was 10 years old. In an email obtained by NewsNation, John-Paul Miller apologized for posting a topless photo of Mica online. “I'm sorry for putting a picture of you on the internet,” he wrote. Nine days after receiving the email, Mica Miller sent an affidavit to her attorney, detailing the abuse she had suffered since their marriage. “Since the day we became husband and wife, I have been abused in every way I can think of. Emotionally, sexually, spiritually, financially, and physically,” she wrote. She also accused John-Paul Miller of "showing up in person around town" and putting tracking devices on her car. The former pastor acknowledged writing the apology email but claimed not everything in it was true. He asserted that Mica had demanded $10,000 and an apology letter in exchange for taking her medication and coming home. “It got to the point where she says, ‘You know what? I'll take my medicine and I'll come home if you'll give me $10,000 and if you'll write me an apology letter,'” he said. Mica Miller's family and friends described a different scenario, alleging that John-Paul Miller felt like "he owned her" and exhibited patterns of abuse and violence. Sierra Francis, Mica's sister, stated in an affidavit that Mica had expressed fear for her life, saying, "If I end up with a bullet in my head, it was JP." Despite these allegations, John-Paul Miller maintained that his wife was safe, healthy, and happy when with him. He recalled instances where Mica expressed suicidal thoughts and his efforts to ensure she received medical help.  Following Mica's death, John-Paul Miller announced her passing during a sermon, attributing her death to mental illness and asking his congregation not to discuss it within the church. Reports indicate that Mica had filed for divorce multiple times and had posted a video on Facebook weeks before her death, offering advice to those in abusive relationships.   When Mica Miller's death was ruled a suicide, John-Paul Miller did not question the investigators' findings, believing there was no other plausible explanation. “My Lord, let my wife be at peace. She's in heaven,” he said. “She's not worrying about all this stuff … she had suicidal tendencies over and over, year after year — off medication especially.” As the investigation continues, Mica Miller's family and friends hope for a thorough review to uncover the truth behind her tragic death.

Mica Miller's family and friends described a different scenario, alleging that John-Paul Miller felt like "he owned her" and exhibited patterns of abuse and violence. Sierra Francis, Mica's sister, stated in an affidavit that Mica had expressed fear for her life, saying, "If I end up with a bullet in my head, it was JP." Despite these allegations, John-Paul Miller maintained that his wife was safe, healthy, and happy when with him. He recalled instances where Mica expressed suicidal thoughts and his efforts to ensure she received medical help.  Following Mica's death, John-Paul Miller announced her passing during a sermon, attributing her death to mental illness and asking his congregation not to discuss it within the church. Reports indicate that Mica had filed for divorce multiple times and had posted a video on Facebook weeks before her death, offering advice to those in abusive relationships.   When Mica Miller's death was ruled a suicide, John-Paul Miller did not question the investigators' findings, believing there was no other plausible explanation. “My Lord, let my wife be at peace. She's in heaven,” he said. “She's not worrying about all this stuff … she had suicidal tendencies over and over, year after year — off medication especially.” As the investigation continues, Mica Miller's family and friends hope for a thorough review to uncover the truth behind her tragic death.

Le comté de Bladen est l'un des plus anciens comtés de Caroline du Nord. Il se situe à environ 115 km au nord-ouest de Wilmington et juste au sud-est de Lumberton. La puissante rivière Cape Fear se fraye tranquillement un chemin à travers les comtés en direction de la côte. Le comté est essentiellement rural et seules quelques villes parsèment le paysage. L'agriculture est très présente dans le comté de Bladen en raison de la richesse de ses terres et de l'abondance de l'eau. Une grande partie du territoire est constituée de vastes forêts et de marécages, un environnement idéal pour les ours, les cerfs, les lynx roux et tout autre type d'animal.C'est dans ce comté, tard dans la soirée du 29 décembre 1953, que notre histoire a commence. Il semble qu'une femme de Clarkton, une petite ville située juste à l'est de Bladenboro, ait contacté les forces de l'ordre locales. Elle était toute excitée et enthousiaste à propos de ce qu'elle avait vu dans le jardin de son voisin. Elle a rapporté qu'au moment où le soleil se couchait, tous les chiens du voisinage aboyaient à tue-tête. Alors qu'elle allait enquêter sur l'origine du bruit, elle vit une grande créature ressemblant à un chat s'enfoncer dans l'obscurité. C'est la première fois que l'on aperçoit ce que l'on appellera "la bête de Bladenboro".Pour m'envoyer vos histoires danslenoirpdcst@gmail.comPour participer à cette émission horrifique, écrivez à Dans Le Noir sur les réseaux sociaux, j'accepte tout le monde !Mon Instagram HorrifiquePATREONLE seul podcast qui fait peur !Armez-vous de votre casque ou de vos écouteurs !Podcast Horreur, Podcast Surnaturel, Podcast Paranormal & Podcast Creepypasta mais surtout un podcast qui fait peur !Bonne semaine horrifique à tous !

The North Carolina Medical Examiner's Office has confirmed that Mica Miller, a Myrtle Beach woman, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, concluding there was no foul play involved. The 30-year-old's death has drawn national attention due to her ties to local pastor John-Paul Miller and allegations of domestic abuse. The medical examiner's report detailed that Mica Miller used a 9mm handgun, which she purchased from a Myrtle Beach pawn shop on April 27, 2024, to take her own life at Lumber River State Park in Lumberton, North Carolina. The report stated, “there was no concern for foul play” and no signs of a physical struggle at the scene where bullet casings were recovered. Mica Miller's body was discovered submerged in the river by a kayaker, approximately 100 feet from the location of the bullet casings. A black bag containing Miller's ID and money was found by another person on the riverbank and handed over to police. Mica Miller was married to John-Paul Miller, pastor of Solid Rock Church in Market Common, Myrtle Beach. At the time of her death, the couple was separated and entangled in legal disputes. The case has been scrutinized by family, friends, and the public, with Miller's death prompting the #justiceforMica movement aimed at raising awareness about domestic violence. The Robeson County Sheriff's Department ruled Miller's death a suicide. According to a Facebook post on May 7, 2024, the decision was based on surveillance footage, interviews, physical evidence, and the medical examiner's findings. The post also mentioned that the Robeson County E911 Communications Center received a 911 call from Miller on the day of her death. During the call, Miller asked the dispatcher if her phone could be located, stating she intended to kill herself and wanted her family to be able to find her body. The medical examiner's report indicated that family members had tried to contact Miller without success on the day of her death. Investigators found a gun case in the passenger seat of her vehicle, along with a box of ammunition in the center console. Receipts for the handgun and a convenience store purchase, both dated April 27, 2024, were also discovered in the vehicle. Mica Miller had publicly alluded to mental health struggles and abuse in her marriage on her Facebook page and in documents. Despite these allegations, John-Paul Miller has denied any abuse towards his wife. The ongoing legal battle between Miller's family and her estranged husband over her belongings adds another layer of complexity to the case. The circumstances surrounding Mica Miller's death have sparked a broader conversation about mental health and domestic violence, with many advocating for better support systems for individuals in similar situations. As the #justiceforMica movement gains traction, it underscores the need for continued awareness and action to prevent such tragedies in the future. Mica Miller's tragic end highlights the importance of addressing mental health issues and supporting those who may be silently suffering. Her story serves as a reminder of the far-reaching impacts of domestic disputes and the critical need for intervention and support for vulnerable individuals.

On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, Owen Thomas, senior account executive, Dial Insurance Agency, Pembroke, North Carolina, shares his experiences from past hurricane seasons and how his agency is applying what they learned this year. When Hurricane Florence made landfall in North Carolina in 2018, it stalled, dropping unprecedented amounts of rainfall on unprepared towns and cities. Among them was the city of Lumberton—which was still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Matthew two years prior. With water levels surpassing 6 feet, Thomas' natural reaction was to ride into the flooded area with the fire department on a small boat to check on his community. “I just wanted to make sure people knew that I was there for them," he says. “Thinking about how high the water was makes my skin crawl." Thomas is an insurance agent, real estate broker, mayor pro tempore and founder of a drone company. These are just a few of the ways he is serving his community. However, like many agents, he serves his clients best during their time of need.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (NewsNation) — A South Carolina woman who was found dead in a North Carolina state park of an apparent gunshot wound to her head had previously told police in March after a series of harassment incidents that she feared for her life. “The victim advised me she was afraid for her life,” Horry County Police Department Officer Nick D'Amocamtonio wrote in an incident report from March 11. The report continued, “While I was out with the victim, she received a No Caller ID call which ended up being the suspect, the suspect was advised that the victim does not want any further contact and if he proceeds then warrants may possibly be written up.” Mica Miller, 30, was found dead April 27 with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at Lumber State Park in Lumberton, North Carolina, according to the police report.

Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Recently, I launched an in-depth tutorial video focusing on  the Harley Infotainment Control Unit "IFCU" Digital Dash system. This cutting-edge technology is now a standard feature on select 2024 models and will continue to be integrated into future touring models. Throughout the creation process of this tutorial, I dedicated extensive time both in the workshop and on the road, immersing myself in every aspect of the IFCU. Despite the absence of accompanying instructions or information, I meticulously explored its functionalities, uncovering both its advantages and limitations. For bikers eager to master the IFCU and harness its full potential, I've crafted a comprehensive tutorial video. You can access it conveniently at LawAbidingBiker.com/IFCU or LawAbidingBiker.com/HarleyDigitalDash.  SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The clarity and size of the screen, coupled with features like the high contrast mode for sunny conditions, further enhance usability. In my opinion, it stands as the most responsive auto manufacturer digital dash system I've encountered thus far, though not without its minor flaws, which I'll address shortly. Before delving into those nuances, it's crucial to note the subscription fee required for embedded navigation: $349 for 3 years, inclusive of live weather, traffic, and map updates. While some may balk at this additional cost, it's essential to contextualize it against the previous Boom Box, where map updates incurred fees ranging from $150 to $200 each time, without the added benefits of live weather and traffic. Whether the subscription model proves more favorable remains a matter for debate. And for those considering whether to opt for embedded navigation, be aware that without it, you'll encounter a QR code prompting you to purchase it each time you access navigation on the IFCU. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The most pressing question on many minds, one that I'm unable to fully address at this juncture, is how the IFCU will fare in the long run—say, 5 or even 10 years down the road. After all, my previous Harley Street Glide Special served me faithfully for a decade before I upgraded to my 2024 model. Concerns naturally arise regarding the long-term support Harley will provide for the Harley infotainment control unit. Will the system gradually slow down and experience lag over time? And if so, how will such issues be addressed by customer support? Additionally, the longevity of support from the third-party company responsible for developing the Skyline OS operating system is another pertinent consideration.

Website where I found these witnesses: https://popwe.org/category/addiction-deliverance/Katie: So it's Sobriety Awareness Month, and I feel led to share a testimony. My drug of choice was methadone. I thought it was okay because it was prescribed. I got on it to get off opioids but ended up being on it for almost 6 years. So me, and my mother were in addiction together. A very toxic relationship. When the methadone got too expensive, she turned me to meth. I lost everything within two months…On December 31, 2020, me and my mom were going through withdrawals pretty bad so she begged me to find something. I ended up getting some and split it with her and the last words I remember her saying was, “if this doesn't help I'm going to sleep.” Two days later, I called 911 and they rushed her to the hospital and I had to make the hardest decision I ever made. I called and told my sister about my addiction and begged her to take my daughter so she would be happy and safe and I could get help. The hardest thing in my life was watching my baby girl get in that car with all her toys and clothes and drive away.Fast forward to January 4, 2021. I was put in St. Bernard's Behavioral Health and found out over the phone that my mom was on life support and wasn't gonna make it. I would have to sign to remove care. The dope had cut the oxygen off to her brain. I was taken to see her. She had wires in her head, her hand was cold and stiff, her feet were purple and molded. I couldn't stay 15 minutes with her. As soon as I got back to SBBH, they faxed me a paper to sign and on January 6, 2021 they removed care. She took one breath and died. Two days later I went to Restoration House Ministries and not only got sober but encountered God and I've never been the same. September 17th I'll be 17 months clean from the bondage I thought I could never escape. This is so hard for me to share but I pray it opens someone's eyes. I handed my mom her death sentence just for one more high. It ain't worth it. The guilt, shame, self hatred you feel ain't worth it. We do recover and it's through Jesus.“We do recover and it's through Jesus.”Christopher:  I was blessed to see you in Beaumont, Texas recently. I live in a town called Lumberton and my youngest daughter was my plus one that night. We got to be part of the blue couch and the meet and greet. The thing is, it never should have happened because I honestly shouldn't be alive today.For 37 years, I had a severe alcohol problem. I was drinking no less than 2 fifths of vodka a day. I sit here and cry because I can't remember most of the childhood days of my kids. I have 3 daughters and one son that are all grown today. I got to the point that I could drink what is called Everclear (95% alcohol) straight from the bottle. Only by God's grace I don't have any issues or side effects today.The day He turned me around, I had flown into New Orleans, Louisiana for work and landed around 11:00 AM. I bought a bottle of vodka in the airport and finished it before I had walked the 200 feet to the rental car location. At the rental car outlet they told me all they had left for me was a Dodge Challenger called a Hellcat, so I took it. Now here I am in a ridiculously fast car, drunk, and headed for a bad day. I was on the interstate and decided to see how fast this car was. I was driving in excess of 140 MPH and I lost control of the car. It went into a spin. After it came to a stop, I crawled out of the car without a scratch and a voice in my head said, “how much more proof do you need that I have plans for you?”After that I called my wife and poured everything out to her. I was an alcoholic when we got married, so my wife and kids had never seen me sober.
Now, today (4 years later) I have 3 beautiful daughters, 2 grandchildren and a son who is an amazing man and a decorated US Marine. I am an ordained minister and I love nothing more than talking to people about my life. If God could take a wasted case like me and do what He has done, there is nothing we can't overcome with Him.At your recent concert in Beaumont, Texas during the blue couch session I asked you to sing “Broken Things” and you did. You have no idea what that meant to me and my daughter that night. So much of your music centers around how God takes the broken and makes something amazing and you are such an inspiration to me.
Sure, I have tough days and it would be so easy to slip back into those old ways, but then I remember my God uses broken things!“God takes the broken and makes something amazing.”Adrienne:  In 2014, I began praying to God to remove these addictions from me. My life was a mess and all I cared about was my cigarettes and alcohol. God led me to the right resources, and I did manage to quit smoking and drinking (although not at the same time and I experienced some slips.)In 2018, with the help of God and a stop smoking community, I gave up cigarettes for good. Then on June 23rd, 2020, God helped me once again and both my husband and I stopped drinking. The freedom and joy I feel from having both of these substances out of my life is amazing and like nothing I've ever known. The “buzz” I get now from a life well lived is so much better than any buzz I received from cigarettes or alcohol.
I am so incredibly grateful to be free of those chains. If you are struggling with overcoming an addiction, my advice to you is don't give up on yourself and trust God. You may not break free immediately but with patience, perseverance and the love and help of our Savior, you can overcome even the toughest addiction.With God, ALL things are possible!Cindy:  I was molested as a young child. My way of coping was to self harm, which became an addiction for me. If I was stressed, anxious, sad, or mad I would hurt myself. The self harming behaviors escalated to cutting and burning myself. It was something I could control. I decided how often I cut, how deep the cut would be, and how many marks I would make. I believed that my control was stolen from me as a child and this was my way of taking control back. What I needed was to give that control over to God.In 2012, I finally gave God control and surrendered my addiction to Him. I had given my life to Christ as a child, but I finally realized He never intended for me to carry that load all by myself. He didn't need my scars, I needed His.I am so thankful that God placed people in my life who supported me through that difficult time period of healing, but mental illness is still somewhat of a taboo subject. We aren't supposed to show signs of weakness. I'm here today to share His-story for me. I am only here because of God's mercy and grace. I tried multiple times to end my life, but today I try to offer hope to those who are struggling with self harm, depression, and mental illness.
I want to share how great our God is. He can take a misfit like me and use my story to show He can take a mess and turn it into a message. My story isn't over, it's only the beginning.“He can take a mess and turn it into a message.”

On November 2, 1984, fifty-two-year-old Velma Barfield was executed by lethal injection at North Carolina's Central Prison, bringing an end to years of legal appeals and emotional debates over the death penalty and how, when, and to whom it gets applied. For six years, Barfield had sat on death row following her conviction for the poisoning murder of her boyfriend Stewart Taylor in 1976; however, during her trial she confessed to killing at least four other people.Velma Barfield's trial came at a time in the United States when Americans were just beginning to grapple with the concept of a serial killer, and the idea that a woman could commit such heinous acts seemed entirely inconceivable. Although woman had been sentenced to death for murder before in the US, none had confessed to methodically killing multiple people in such a callous way and for such a trivial reason. The debate only became more complicated following her death sentence, an already complicated subject among Americans that became exponentially so in 1984, when Barfield's case and personal story became a major talking point for politicians running for office around the state.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for Research!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1984.

There is a nationwide epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous women in the United States and Canada. Mountain Murders examines the cases of three murdered indigenous women in Lumberton, NC. Christina Bennett, Rhonda Jones, and Megan Oxendine were all found deceased within a few blocks of one another in 2017. However, Lumberton's missing and murdered women extend farther back in time with little information available. There are significant issues within law enforcement agencies as well as violent crime in the community, creating an unsafe atmosphere for these women. While some speculate a serial killer has been preying on native women, others suggest it is indicative of a more significant issue in Robeson County, which has been listed as having the most violent crime in the state of North Carolina.Intro Music by Joe Buck YourselfHosts Heather and Dylan Packerwww.patreon.com/mountainmurderspodcast
