Things are getting weird this week—and that's saying something. We're joined by the delightfully bizarre minds behind Weird True Crime for a very special guest episode. Together, we form the Roundtable of Weird, where strange dilemmas, dumb criminals, and questionable life choices are always on the menu. Trevin kicks things off with an existential crisis involving his life partner, ChatGPT. Is his unrelenting politeness costing the planet millions in server strain? Will he risk environmental ruin in the name of kindness? Meanwhile, Amanda escorts Lyla to her first karate competition, where she's baffled by the tournament's poker-chip-based economy and baffling logistics. The Weird True Crime duo enters the chat with their own personal weirdness. Amber's husband has become a walking billboard for his job, refusing to wear anything but his work uniform. Gina, on the other hand, keeps forgetting one crucial thing at the grocery store—salt. Weeks of underseasoned food have left her flavor-deprived and full of regret. Then it's time for the main event: a four-person crime story showdown. Trevin and Amanda dig into petty crimes too short for a full episode, while the Weird True Crime crew brings us the finest dumb criminal tales straight outta Texas. You'll hear about: Alex Van Duyn and the mysterious gifts from the Portland Pisser 83-year-old Lillie McClendon weaponizing sausage water A feathery vandal terrorizing Rockport, Massachusetts A mischievous dog embarking on a crime spree in McAllen, Texas Avante Nicholson's drug-dealing Easter/420 promotion campaign Tamain Marquell Williams double-fisting a beer and coffee because he doesn't have time for that Annamae Cabalsa Martinez calling AAA—during a high-speed police chase The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile getting a frank warning in Waukesha, Wisconsin There's a whole lot of dumb, weird, and wonderful packed into this episode.

You don't need 100 people… you just need ONE.In this heartfelt sermon, “As You Sow,” Pastor Beto Rivas shares his vulnerable, faith-filled journey of sowing seeds in hard ground—preaching to empty chairs, losing possessions, battling discouragement—yet refusing to quit.Through powerful stories like C.T. Studd's generational conversion and real-life testimonies from Equatorial Guinea, Pastor Beto reminds us:

SUPPORT THIS CONFERENCE: https://www.thedoormcallen.com/givingWhat happened between your “Yes, Lord” and your lack of action?In this gripping message titled Responding to the Vineyard, Pastor Garza delivers a soul-stirring call to radical obedience from Matthew 21:28–32. He exposes the spiritual danger of saying yes to God with your lips, but not with your life.Whether you've delayed your calling, hesitated at the crossroads, or made excuses for inaction—this message is for you.✅ Learn:• Why partial obedience is still disobedience• The hidden pain of hesitation, excuses, and fear• How to move from regret to fruitful response• What you risk losing if you stay stuck at your “Heran” moment

SummaryIn this compelling sermon, Pastor Greg Mitchell highlights the necessity of being active for God, drawing parallels from the story of four lepers in 2 Kings to emphasize the urgent need for salvation in today's world. He encourages listeners to overcome fear and inaction, trusting in God's provision when stepping out in faith. The sermon concludes with a call to engage in evangelism and missions, stressing that it not only impacts others but also brings personal fulfillment and salvation.Takeaways- God wants to save, He can save, but people must be in motion.- The world is facing a famine of hearing the Word of God.- Many people feel they cannot make a difference due to their circumstances.- Fear and selfishness often keep people from acting on God's will.- Getting in motion for God is an act of faith and obedience.- The lepers' decision to move triggered a miraculous outcome.- God honors those who step out in faith and act.- Involvement in missions and evangelism brings life and vitality to believers.- God is a God of abundance, ready to provide more than enough.- When we share the good news, we not only help others but also find purpose for ourselves.Sound Bites"God wants to save, He can save.""Why stay here until we die?""This is a day of good news!""God is the God of motion.""God can magnify your efforts.""You have to get it in motion.""Can you see something bigger?"Chapters00:00 Introduction and Welcome01:40 The Story of Jeremy Humphrey05:28 The State of the World09:18 The Challenge of Inaction17:01 God in Motion24:11 The Power of Motion28:10 The God of AbundanceShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

BROWNSVILLE, Texas - The Rio Grande Valley is becoming no different than some of the bigger metros in Texas, says Greater Brownsville Incentives Corporation CEO Gilberto Salinas. “Austin-San Antonio is really one big area, Houston is just a huge monster when it comes to people, numbers and cities around it, DFW? DFW is kind of like McAllen-Brownsville. It's becoming that one huge region, one super region. And it takes a SpaceX coming in and then telling us, a region is 100 miles,” Salinas said. Salinas made his remarks in an exclusive interview with Ron Whitlock of Ron Whitlock Reports. The interview took place before Salinas made his highly successful presentation at the Cross Border Industrial Opportunities summit in Monterrey. “Sometimes in Brownsville, we think regional is 20 miles. McAllen, I think it's 30 miles. But it takes a SpaceX, one of the most forward-thinking companies, really in the history the planet, to come and tell us, that no, regional for us is 100 miles,” Salinas told Whitlock. “And that's just from a supplier network to a labor and talent pool, because they (SpaceX) pull from well outside of 100 miles. And again, it goes to show that the Brownsville-McAllen super metro area is becoming a huge draw.” Salinas added: “You know, outside of Texas, all eyes are on this place that we call the Rio Grande Valley.” Asked what the state of industry and the jobs market is currently like Brownsville and Cameron County today, Salinas said: “The state of jobs and industry is like never before. That's the one thing that I have seen since I've come back, the number of projects that we have in the pipeline, the number of leads, the companies that are opening up here. It's different from 10 years ago, even from five years ago,” Salinas said. “And a big fish draws all the big fish… SpaceX, the two LNG plants. There's a refinery plant looking at the Port (of Brownsville), and some other major operations looking at the Port. We have, like, $3 billion in the pipeline just for the Brownsville from the GBIC side. All these companies are coming in as a result of the success of a SpaceX and the LNGs. So those big fish are drawing in other big fish, and that's what's setting us apart from everybody else right now. That level of activity is raising eyebrows across the entire state of Texas.” Asked if there are any big projects in the works that he can talk about, Salinas said: “Well, no different than most other EDOs, we are on the cusp of announcing some major projects. We just cannot disclose those yet. But, between our top 10 projects, we're looking at about $3 billion in capital investment. Hopefully we can announce at least one of those here in the next coming weeks.” Salinas said he likes to call these big projects game changers. “Those projects that we have are, again, what I like to call game changers, very similar to a SpaceX and the LNGs in the energy sector. To everybody's somewhat surprise, it is just going to put Brownsville… Brownsville is already on the map because everything that has happened. But those projects are just going to make that dot on the map bigger.Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

After decades without justice, Irene Garza's case finally moves forward. Now in his 80s, John Feit is living in Arizona but is extradited to Texas when a grand jury indicts him for Irene's murder. The trial begins in late 2017, and the lead prosecutor on Irene's case brings witnesses forward to paint a picture of what happened the Holy Saturday evening when Feit heard her confession. After two weeks, the jury deliberates for more than seven hours before finding Feit guilty. Snow falls in McAllen, a rare occurrence, as Feit faces his sentencing.

Episode 137 Doe ID: Nora Castillo  In June, 1988, a farmer in Baca County, Colorado found skeletonized human remains on his property. Investigators found nothing in the way of identification, and only a 1986 quarter in a pocket. All investigators knew was that they had found the remains of a young woman, who was likely Hispanic, and although a cause of death could not be determined, severe injuries to her legs, and the overall circumstances led police to think that she was the victim of a homicide. Police had no missing persons cases on women in the area that matched their victim, and her case went cold almost immediately. They kept the Jane Doe's remains for years before finally laying her to rest. Over the years, investigators searched databases for DNA links, and frustratingly, a link was missed by the system that could have given Jane Doe her name back sooner. Eventually, genealogy did provide police with their victim's name. It was Nora Castillo, a young mother from McAllen, Texas, who had gone missing in 1986 or 1987 following a string of struggles in her life. Now that police know who their victim is, they still want to find out how she came to be in the farmer's field in 1988, and who put here there. This Jane Doe finally has her name back; it's Nora Castillo, and this is her story.  If you have any information about Castillo or this case, please contact the Baca County Sheriff's Office at 719-523-4511 or the McAllen Texas Police Department at 956-681-2221.   To listen to every episode of DNA: ID ad-free and get other benefits, simply  visit our channel page on Apple Podcasts to get started with an AbJack Insider subscription.

Two years later she's played in McAllen, Dallas, and soon New York City. Rap and RnB raised her, house and UK garage made up her adolescence, but club music made her what she is today, a full circle moment for her musical tastes. Her usual sets ebb and flow with stripped back breakbeats, chopped up samples, an occasional 4x4 beat, and as always, a desire for fun on the dance floor. After all this time she keeps the same motto she did since she realized she was great at what she does; World Domination.

McAllen police chief Victor Rodriguez recounts when he first met a key witness in Irene's case, Father O'Brien in an unlikely place – a state prison in Huntsville, Texas. After submitting their discoveries to the DA's office, Rudy and Victor feel hopeless because of comments made by the district attorney and his lead prosecutor. By 2003, the grand jury decides not to indict Feit in Irene's murder, leaving a wave of disappointment again for Irene. A whole decade passes until a new district attorney decides to take on Irene's case one more time.

Originating from San Bernardino, California, Fuerza Regida transitioned from a cover band to a chart-topping act with their unique blend of corridos tumbados, highlighted by collaborations with luminaries like Natanael Cano. Grupo Frontera, from McAllen, Texas, captured hearts with "No Se Va", merging traditional norteño with contemporary sounds. Their joint effort, "Me Jalo", part of the "Mala Mía" EP, resonates with themes of love and betrayal, encapsulating the narrative essence of corridos with a danceable twist. The track has not only dominated streaming platforms like Spotify Mexico, where it debuted at No. 7, but also on YouTube, where its video has amassed millions of views, showcasing its cultural impact.

Jon Gjbrea speaks to Gavin about their shared passion for whiskey and cigars, delving into the nuances of brand loyalty, industry trends, and personal experiences. Their discussion reveals a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship, history, and community that surround these indulgences. Jon's unwavering loyalty to McAllen whiskey, instilled by his uncle's collection, highlights the powerful influence of personal connections on our tastes. This preference speaks to the emotional bond that can form between an individual and a specific brand, transcending mere flavor and becoming intertwined with memories and relationships. Their acknowledgment of the difficulty in finding comparable brands emphasizes the unique qualities that certain whiskeys possess, capturing the essence of what makes them truly special. Similarly, Jon's journey from an anti-smoking stance to a cigar aficionado demonstrates the evolving nature of personal preferences. His comparison of cigar and whiskey brand loyalty underscores a shared dedication to quality and the pursuit of personal satisfaction. This parallel suggests that both hobbies are driven by a desire for exceptional experiences and a deep appreciation for the artistry involved in crafting these products

À l'approche de la prise de fonction de Donald Trump, le 20 janvier 2025, les quelque 11 millions de migrants illégaux présents dans le pays retiennent leur souffle. Car le président élu a promis de lancer dès son premier jour à la Maison Blanche un programme d'expulsion massive. Le Texas s'y prépare déjà : les autorités commencent à mettre en place des infrastructures pour les expulsions. Les Organisations non gouvernementales, elles, promettent la résistance à ce projet jugé inhumain. Sans parler des migrants concernés qui craignent d'être obligés de quitter un pays où ils ont fondé des familles et refait leur vie. « S'ils me renvoient au Mexique, je reviendrai »En complément de notre Grand Reportage sur le plan d'expulsion de la future administration Trump, nous vous proposons une interview rare d'un migrant sans papiers. Daniel, d'origine mexicaine, vit dans le sud du Texas, à quelques kilomètres de la frontière, depuis 25 ans. Comme des millions d'autres immigrants clandestins, il s'est marié, a fondé une famille et mène une vie aussi normale que possible, malgré les défis de son statut.Après quelques hésitations, Daniel accepte de nous recevoir chez lui, dans une maison qu'il a construite de ses propres mains. Vêtu de sa tenue d'ouvrier et de sa veste fluorescente, il rentre tout juste d'un chantier.  RFI : Vous avez quitté le Mexique en 1999, clandestinement, en traversant le Rio Grande. Pourquoi avez-vous décidé de partir ?Daniel : Tout d'abord, parce que la situation économique là-bas était très mauvaise, sans aucune perspective. Je voulais une vie meilleure pour moi, mais surtout pour mes enfants. Je voulais qu'ils naissent ici pour qu'ils ne souffrent pas comme j'ai souffert au Mexique. Je me suis dit : si j'arrive à traverser la frontière et à m'installer ici, je fonderai une famille. Et c'est ce que j'ai fait : je vis ici avec mon épouse et mes cinq enfants. L'aînée a aujourd'hui l'âge que j'avais quand j'ai quitté le Mexique.Nous sommes assis sur le canapé dans le salon de Daniel. Ses enfants jouent ou regardent des vidéos. Une vie de famille presque normale, si ce n'est la menace d'expulsion qui pèse sur ce foyer. Daniel se souvient encore très bien de la journée où sa vie a basculé.Oui, c'était l'année dernière, en février 2024. Je suis sorti travailler à 6h30 du matin pour commencer à 7h. À environ 25 kilomètres de chez moi, la police m'a arrêté. Mon van était chargé, ce qui avait l'air suspect. Ils m'ont demandé si je transportais de la drogue, j'ai répondu que non. Puis, ils m'ont dit que je roulais à 61 km/h alors que la limite était de 60 km/h. Ils m'ont demandé mes papiers, et j'ai répondu que je n'en avais pas. Ils m'ont arrêté et emmené dans un centre de détention à McAllen, où j'ai passé 21 jours. En mars 2025, je suis convoqué devant le tribunal. Le juge décidera si je dois retourner au Mexique ou si je peux rester.Vous continuez à travailler malgré tout ?Oui, mais j'y vais avec la peur au ventre. J'ai peur qu'ils m'arrêtent de nouveau, car ils m'ont dit que je n'avais pas le droit de travailler. Mais si j'arrête, comment pourrais-je nourrir ma famille ? Ce serait différent s'ils me donnaient un permis de travail. Je pourrais obtenir un meilleur emploi. Là, je gagne le minimum, même si je travaille entre 40 et 60 heures par semaine. On me paie entre 7 dollars 50 et 8 dollars de l'heure, parce que je n'ai pas de numéro de sécurité sociale.Vous travaillez sur quels types de chantiers ?Je travaille sur des chantiers publics : construction d'écoles, d'hôpitaux, de cliniques, de banques. Personne ne m'a jamais demandé si j'étais en règle. Au contraire, cela les arrange : ils peuvent me payer moins. Je travaille généralement 7 jours sur 7, de 8 à 10 heures par jour.Votre maison, elle vous appartient ?Oui, après toutes ces années de travail, Dieu merci, j'ai pu acheter ce terrain et construire cette maison. Je voulais laisser quelque chose à mes enfants. Si jamais ils me renvoient au Mexique, au moins, ils auront un toit et n'auront pas de loyer à payer. Ce que je regrette, c'est de ne pas pouvoir voyager ailleurs aux États-Unis. À cause des checkpoints au nord du Texas, toutes les voitures sont contrôlées. Mes enfants aimeraient aller à l'Aquaparc de San Antonio, mais je suis obligé de leur dire : désolé, je ne peux pas. Eux, ils pourraient y aller, mais pas moi.Oui, parce qu'ils sont nés ici et ont donc la nationalité américaine.Dieu merci, oui. Ils ne subiront pas les mêmes humiliations. Mais ici, quand vous êtes Latino et sans papiers, les gens vous traitent mal. Il y a beaucoup de racisme. Même des Latinos nés ici vous regardent de haut. Ils vous font travailler pour un salaire de misère, sachant que vous ne pouvez pas vous défendre.Vous imaginiez votre vie comme cela, lors que vous êtes parti du Mexique ? Non. Je suis parti pour une vie meilleure. Au Mexique, les gens disent : va aux États-Unis, c'est mieux là-bas. Mais la réalité est dure. Rien n'est gratuit. Et vivre sans papiers, c'est être constamment sur le qui-vive.Et votre épouse, est-elle dans la même situation ?Oui, elle n'a pas de papiers non plus. Elle travaille comme cuisinière dans un restaurant et fait aussi le ménage chez une juge. On se relaye pour s'occuper des enfants. Quand je rentre, elle part travailler.En quoi l'élection de Donald Trump peut-elle influencer la décision du juge ?Les avocats me disent qu'avec ce nouveau président, il n'y a pas beaucoup d'espoir. Comme je suis ici depuis longtemps, le juge pourrait faire une exception, mais ce sera compliqué. Avant, j'aurais eu une chance, mais avec Donald Trump, c'est presque impossible.Comment vivez-vous cette situation ?C'est un combat quotidien, une lutte avec moi-même. Je n'ai rien fait de mal, j'ai payé mes impôts. Mais j'ai peur en permanence. À chaque sortie, je crains qu'on m'arrête et qu'on me sépare de mes enfants. C'est difficile. Mais une chose est sûre : si je devais être renvoyé au Mexique, je reviendrai. Peu importe comment, je reviendrai.

Christians can't live in this world without also being involved in this world. We are told often that "this is not our home," which in an ultimate sense is true, but it is our home now. We live here, we raise families here, we live and move and have our being here. Denying any responsibility and obligation to influence this world with the full effects of the Gospel is not a true biblical outlook. The Bible applies to every area of life but it requires wisdom and discernment. Christians must re-learn how to think biblically. Gary points the way forward in this talk given in McAllen, Texas a few years ago.

A 1,402-acre ranch in Texas may become ground zero for the deportation of criminal illegal aliens.  Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, a Republican, spearheaded purchase of the ranch, which is located along the border with Mexico in Starr County between Laredo and McAllen, Texas. Now, Buckingham says, Texas may lease the land to the federal government as a site to process illegal aliens for deportation. She figures President-elect Donald Trump may need it. “We just thought we'd write a letter to [Trump] and say, ... if we can help, we have this property,” she says.  Deportations of illegal aliens, especially criminal illegal aliens, was a pillar of Trump's presidential campaign, and Buckingham says she and other leaders in Texas recognize that the incoming Trump administration will “probably need a facility to … relieve the strain on the local jails to get the proper processing before these people are deported.”  Tom Homan, Trump's incoming border czar, has indicated he is interested in using the 1,402-acre ranch, a popular crossing point for illegal aliens, as the second Trump administration begins a major effort to secure the border and remove criminals who entered the country illegally.  Illegal aliens already have crossed the border into America unlawfully. Generally, "criminal illegal aliens" refers to those who also have been convicted of a crime either in America or in another country. Buckingham joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what will change at the border when Trump returns next month.
