THE WALKER ATTEMPT AND DELUSIONS IN NEW ORLEANS Colleague Paul Gregory. The narrative shifts to April 1963, when a shaken Oswald confessed to Marina that he had attempted to assassinate General Edwin Walker. Marina found a note with instructions but did not report him, though she threatened to leave if he tried such violence again. Soon after, Oswald moved to New Orleans to build credentials as a pro-Castro operative, hoping to secure a visa to Cuba and eventually the Soviet Union. Gregory explains that Oswald did not actually want to return to Russia but needed a Soviet visa to enter Cuba. During this period, Oswald became increasingly delusional, inventing aliases and seeking status, though there was no evidence yet of a plan to kill President Kennedy. NUMBER 4

* On the 150th Anniversary of the Proclamation, the Surprising Truth: With yesterday (January 1st, 2023) being the 160th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, we are going back to a broadcast classic where Bob Enyart and guest Jamie Schofield analyze the meaning and actual intent of that sad document. For this was no abolitionist policy (as a contemporaneous report in the Rocky Mountain News makes clear), but an example of moral compromise that ended in failure. Today's Resource: The Plot | Second Edition!The Bible Gets Easier to Understand: Apparent contradictions plague many Bible students. The Plot demonstrates how hundreds of such contradictions disappear when the reader applies the big picture of the Bible to its details. Tunnel vision focuses so narrowly on a problem that the solution often lies just out of view. As the pastor of Denver Bible Church, Bob Enyart teaches Christians how to use the whole counsel of God to understand the plot of the Bible and solve biblical mysteries. (Missionaries in Costa Rica effectively use the Spanish translation, La Trama.) Available as either book or PDF download. The Plot: 2nd Edition Just before his passing, Bob finished the second edition of his manuscript, The Plot. While sadly he didn't live long enough to see the work published, He did get it out just in time. His second edition includes ten years worth of updates, revisions, additional sections and updated graphics. Now, a year after his passing, it has been made available to the public! Get your copy now... The Proclamation was actually comprised of two announcements, not just one.  The first half – the preliminary proclamation – set the policy and gave a deadline of 100 days.  It was addressed not to the common citizens of the nation or to the Union military, but rather to the states in rebellion at that time.  What was Lincoln's declared policy on slavery at that time?  He made that very clear in a letter to Horace Greeley on Aug. 22, 1862, just days before the issuance of the preliminary proclamation: If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. . . . I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. Lincoln's goal was not the abolition of slavery but rather the preservation of the Union, and if that meant keeping slaves in bondage everywhere, he would support and practice exactly that.  And this non-abolitionist stance is reflected in the text of the Emancipation Proclamation.The Preliminary Proclamation, September, 1862 In short, the stated intent and purpose of this policy was to offer the Confederate states the opportunity to keep their slaves if they would choose to stop rebelling within a 100-day deadline.  Essentially, it said that if your state ceases its rebellion against the union, you may keep your slaves. I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States... That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; Any state still in rebellion against the Union on Jan. 1 would be subject to the Proclamation, which would declare any current slaves in those areas to be free.  The stated goal was not to free any slaves, but rather to preserve the Union.  Was it a success?  Before hearing the answer, Bob predicted that such a policy would bear no fruit, and he was right.  In fact, not a single state took Lincoln up on his offer.  By its own standard, the Proclamation was an abject failure!  In fact, all the proclamation did in that regard was to infuriate the Confederate states more than ever, deepening their resolve to reject the Union. Perhaps even worse, the preliminary proclamation also explicitly ordered slaves to be returned to their slave owners in specific circumstances, thus actually ordering the enforcement of keeping such men in bondage: Sec.10. And be it further enacted, That no slave escaping into any State, Territory, or the District of Columbia, from any other State, shall be delivered up, or in any way impeded or hindered of his liberty, except for crime, or some offence against the laws, unless the person claiming said fugitive shall first make oath that the person to whom the labor or service of such fugitive is alleged to be due is his lawful owner, and has not borne arms against the United States in the present rebellion, nor in any way given aid and comfort thereto; In other words, if a slave escaped to an area controlled by the Union, all a Southern slave owner had to do was show up, give an oath (no evidence required) that he was the lawful owner of that slave, and swear that he had never taken up arms against the Union, and then “here's your slave back.” The Emancipation Proclamation, January 1, 1863 This document was the culmination of the policy already given 100 days earlier.  Not a single Confederate state had taken Lincoln's offer to cease rebellion and keep their slaves.  Therefore, this document declared (largely symbolically) the slaves in those non-Union-controlled areas to be free.  But, at the same time, and as one should expect in such a compromised and non-abolitionist policy, it also explicitly listed all of the areas in the U.S. where slaves would be kept in bondage.  Thus, this policy actually authorized the continuing wicked enslavement of innocent men, women and children, for example in many counties in Louisiana, especially around New Orleans, as well as in the newly-forming West Virginia. Many abolitionists of the day decried the Emancipation Proclamation, rightly pointing out its moral compromise.  Lincoln's own secretary of state, William Seward, commented that "We show our sympathy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free."  Unlike Lincoln, Seward knew the atrocities of slavery firsthand, having been raised by a slave-owning family.  "I early came to the conclusion that something was wrong... and [that] determined me to be an abolitionist." On the other hand, in their coverage of the Proclamation, the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News here in Colorado celebrated on their front page the fact that this policy was not abolitionist, and mocked abolitionists who disagreed with it, praising Lincoln for going against the “radical” abolitionists.  The newspaper wrote: “The last mail... brought scores of Eastern and Western papers with similar recommendations.  The voice of the press is almost unanimous in its approval.  That is a pretty correct index of popular opinion, and we may therefore set down that almost the entire loyal States endorse the action of the President.  It must be expected that the ultra Abolitionists will kick against it, as too conservative [not going far enough] for their radical views.  Let them squirm!  ‘Honest Abe' has shown that he will be no tool of theirs.” How were slaves freed and slavery abolished, then? It's important to note that the Emancipation Proclamation didn't outlaw slavery anywhere.  It declared current slaves in those areas to be free, in areas where the Union had no control.  It essentially “freed” them in word only, and was largely a symbolic gesture.  As the Union military moved through the Confederate states in rebellion, they did free slaves they encountered.  In truth, they could have done this with or without the Proclamation.  The Proclamation was simply used as an excuse to do it, but they would have been right to do it, regardless.  Lincoln gave orders to the Union Army to free those slaves, apart from the Proclamation, which wasn't addressed to the Union Army, but to the Confederate States themselves.  He could have ordered the Union Army to do this without such a proclamation.  And even if Lincoln hadn't issued that order, it would have still been right for Union forces moving through the South to free those slaves, anyway.  If you are a military unit and have taken over an area from the enemy, and you find men who have been kidnapped and brutalized by the people there, the right thing to do would be to free those victims.  The Proclamation didn't free anyone, although it did serve as a political excuse to do so. What of the abolition of slavery, then?  That was accomplished later, in some areas at the state level, and in the rest of the nation through federal action.  Unlike in the Emancipation Proclamation, in all of these cases it was a principled, no-compromise, abolitionist policy that required the complete abolition of slavery in each state.  For example, West Virginia (which had ironically seceded from Virginia while the latter was seceding from the Union) wasn't allowed to join the Union as a new state unless their constitution abolished slavery without exception.  In Maryland, Arkansas and Louisiana in 1864, they abolished slavery at the state level as their citizens ratified new state constitutions.  In Missouri in January of 1865, that governor abolished slavery via executive order.  In all other Southern states, slavery was ultimately abolished through the ratification of the 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, in December of 1865. In all of these cases, it was a no-compromise policy that we would describe today as “pro-personhood.”  Slavery was ultimately abolished despite the pro-slavery policy of the Emancipation Proclamation, not because of it.

Season 7, Episode 17 kicks off with Dan Fox and Frank Knight ringing in the New Year with a special guest appearance from Tyler, plus the usual basement-studio banter and word-policing: it's “Happy New Year,” not “Happy New Year's,” and Frank is prepared to die on that hill. With Allen Action Jackson out for the night, the crew leans into a lighter opening, Raiders misery, owner jokes, and a quick check-in on the Colts' season collapse, including how offensive line injuries can turn a contender into a cautionary tale.From there, Frank unveils a mini trivia game that instantly becomes an on-air struggle for Dan, until Tyler and Brian (in the background) step in as lifelines. Highlights include the revelation that there are seven NFL officials on the field, old-school quarterback history featuring Terry Bradshaw, a “slow 40-yard dash” trick question that lands on Tom Brady, and the ultimate completions milestone: Brett Favre as the lone member of the 6,000-completion club. The group caps trivia with a bonus stumper: which current head coach rushed for more yards than Bo Jackson? (Jim Harbaugh—quarterback legs count too.)Then the show turns serious with a full recap of Week 17, starting with the Christmas Day slate and rolling through the weekend's games, playoff implications, and draft-position drama:Key Week 17 takeaways:Cowboys over Washington (30–23), a win Dan will take, even if it doesn't prove much.Vikings shock Lions (23–10), officially knocking Detroit out of playoff contention and forcing a full offseason reset.Broncos handle the broken Chiefs (20–13), but Dan remains skeptical that Bo Nix can carry them beyond the AFC Championship tier.Texans over Chargers (20–16), another defensive showcase that reinforces Houston as a legitimate January problem.Browns upset Steelers (13–6) in a game that exposed Pittsburgh's offensive limitations—especially without DK Metcalf.Patriots crush Jets (42–10), as New England continues to look like a real contender.Saints beat Titans (34–26), with New Orleans' quarterback trendline still pointing up.Jaguars stay hot at Colts (23–17), while Indy's year continues to unravel.Dolphins upset Bucs (20–17), leading to a blunt discussion of Todd Bowles and Tampa's lack of consistency.Seahawks take care of Panthers (27–10), with the group agreeing Seattle's ceiling depends entirely on whether “Bad Sam Darnold” shows up at the wrong moment.Bengals torch Cardinals (37–14), followed by more pointed commentary on Joe Burrow's public frustration and what responsibility looks like when you're the face of the franchise.Giants destroy Raiders (34–10) in the “draft-position bowl,” flipping the spotlight to how teams behave when the No. 1 pick is on the line—and how ugly it can look in real time.Eagles edge Bills (13–12) in a messy, rain-soaked game that felt like a potential Super Bowl preview.49ers survive Bears in a late shootout, with Chicago nearly stealing it on the final play.As always, the episode balances serious football analysis with the crew's trademark sarcasm, plus a running thread of frustration about teams that look like they're “managing outcomes” late in the season, whether for seeding, health, or draft position.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

Twelfth Night marks the birth of the late New Orleans icon, Leah Chase. The culinary legend, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 96, was the undisputed Queen of Creole Cooking and a civil rights activist who changed lives over a bowl of gumbo. On this week's show, we spend the hour honoring Leah's talent, achievements, and lasting legacy. We begin with one of our favorite Louisiana Eats moments: a special day we spent with Leah in 2012, when then-Mayor Mitch Landrieu kicked off the official start of Carnival season at Gallier Hall with king cake and a surprise for Leah on her 89th birthday. From there, we look back on Leah's early life in Madisonville, Louisiana. Leah describes growing up on a strawberry farm, and the lessons she learned that shaped the legend she would become. We continue with an oral history from NOLA Life Stories, in which Leah recounts her first experiences working in a café in the French Quarter, as told to Mark Cave of the Historic New Orleans Collection. Next, we arrive at a turning point in Leah's life — the moment she met big band leader Edgar "Dooky" Chase, Jr. Following their marriage, Leah went to work at Dooky's, her in-laws' simple sandwich shop in the Treme. As she began to serve Creole classics like gumbo and Chicken Clemenceau on fine linen, Leah elevated the dining culture for everyone. Leah tells us about her famous Gumbo z'Herbes, a dish she served at her restaurant every Holy Thursday for over 60 years. We also chronicle how Leah rebuilt Dooky Chase's after Hurricane Katrina. Eleven years after the storm, Leah experienced two other monumental life events — the first was her 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award from the James Beard Foundation. Months later, Leah's husband and partner Edgar "Dooky" Chase — the man who played a key role in her success — passed away at the age of 88. In this final segment, Leah reflects on their relationship and shares her thoughts on death and living a fulfilling life.

Georgia ended its season in New Orleans, again. It was a gut-wrenching battle, but the Rebels came out on top. We discuss the game, right here. https://x.com/wslspodcast

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera enter the final week of the NFL season. They offer up the best selections for this weeks final games. As the NFL regular season reaches its final week, Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera turn their attention to the most volatile slate on the calendar, where motivation, rest decisions, and survivor contest leverage dominate every conversation. After a season that produced consistent winners deep into November, the focus now shifts to Week 18, a week Rivers and Rivera both describe as uniquely chaotic. Teams are openly resting starters, others are angling for draft position, and a shrinking pool of high confidence options forces bettors and contest entrants to think less about raw power ratings and more about intent. The discussion centers on the Circa Survivor contest, where six remaining entries each hold tickets worth three million dollars, creating an environment where decision theory matters as much as handicapping. The Atlanta Falcons emerge as the default option, not because they inspire confidence, but because they are one of the few teams still motivated, favored, and widely available. Rivera acknowledges his lack of faith in Atlanta's long term direction, yet still views the matchup with New Orleans as a situation where pressure, injuries, and matchup dynamics favor the Falcons enough to justify their popularity. At the same time, both analysts emphasize that popularity itself carries risk, especially when prize equity is concentrated. Jacksonville becomes the standout alternative for entrants who still have them available, driven by clear divisional stakes and a favorable matchup against a Tennessee team with little incentive to push beyond development goals. Rivera repeatedly stresses that motivation is the defining variable this week, pointing to teams that need wins to secure divisions or seeding as the most reliable investments. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are singled out as a team to avoid entirely, with Rivera citing defensive breakdowns, offensive injuries, and visible disengagement. Kansas City also draws skepticism, with recent performances and rest decisions making them an unattractive survivor option despite their reputation. As the conversation expands, Rivers highlights historical data showing that clinched teams favored against eliminated opponents tend to outperform expectations, reinforcing interest in teams like Philadelphia and the Rams depending on individual entry paths. Throughout the discussion, hedging strategy is treated as essential, not optional, with both men openly acknowledging that multi million dollar equity demands aggressive financial protection. The episode closes with a clear theme, Week 18 is not about finding the best team, but about identifying who still cares, who still has something to lose, and how to position against the decisions everyone else is making.

This week, in a "nod to all things Southern," we'll be talking with Dr. John Shelton Reed about his book, The Ramos Gin Fizz (Iconic New Orleans Cocktails) (2025, LSU Press).In the book, John attempts to reconstruct Ramos's original recipe using modern ingredients and addresses the question of how and how much to shake the drink, a subject on which there is surprisingly much to be said. Offering recipes for the original drink, a modern version, and many imaginative riffs, this eminently readable book is a must-have for any cocktail lover's library.The Ramos Gin Fizz was invented sometime around 1890 by Henry Charles “Carl” Ramos at his Imperial Cabinet saloon in New Orleans. It includes lemon and lime juice, egg white, cream, and orange flower water, and, shaken properly, it becomes a foamy white concoction that has been called “the nectar of New Orleans,” “the Cadillac of Cocktails,” and “the Crescent City's most notable contribution to civilized tippling.”

Munaf Manji and SleepyJ talk NFL player props for week 18 Munaf Manji and SleepyJ closed the regular season with a focused breakdown of NFL Week 18 player props, emphasizing motivation, usage, and matchup dynamics in a slate defined by uncertainty. They opened with quarterback angles, highlighting Jared Goff under passing yards due to Detroit injuries and a run heavy approach, while backing C J Stroud over his number against Indianapolis based on a consistent history of strong production and recent defensive struggles by the Colts. At running back, SleepyJ returned to Bucky Irving over rushing yards against Carolina, citing Tampa Bay offensive line issues and the need to take pressure off Baker Mayfield, while Manji supported Derrick Henry over rushing attempts in a division deciding game, pointing to recent workload trends and Baltimore reliance on the ground game. Wide receiver discussion centered on Marquez Valdez Scantling over a modest yardage total, driven by increased targets and roster absences that force Pittsburgh to throw, with alternate yardage milestones also discussed. Tight end props followed, including Mitchell Evans over receptions for Carolina in a likely negative game script, and Juwan Johnson over receiving yards for New Orleans as injuries funnel targets his way. Touchdown markets featured Colson Loveland for Chicago based on red zone usage, along with Rico Dowdle and Chigoziem Okonkwo as incentive and matchup driven options. The episode concluded with a best bet on George Kittle over receiving yards in a high stakes matchup, supported by his recent consistency, explosive plays, and central role in the San Francisco offense as teams jockey for playoff seeding.

At her home in New Orleans, Grammy-winning musical artist Rickie Lee Jones has transformed her yard into a safe haven for birds. By putting out water and feeders, she's become popular with the local cardinals, doves, and even a crow with a distinctive white wing.

Join us for a New Year's Eve LIVE special, starting at 6 PM CT / 7 PM ET, as Don takes over New Orleans for a night that's guaranteed to be wild, chaotic, and unforgettable. We're talking special guests, big surprises, and nonstop energy from start to finish. There will be food, music, dancing, drinks, and a whole lot of “you had to be there” moments. No scripts. No snoozing. Just vibes. Whether you're throwing a watch party or tuning in from the couch, this is where you want to be when the clock hits midnight.

I cleaned house again this year of useless habits and people. Oh and I announce the ending of the New Orleans series.

On today's episode, we discuss a year‑in‑review of 2025's biggest tech and security stories, starting with the deadly New Orleans vehicle attack that exposed how a flawed “smart” bollard design and lost emergency planning turned Mardi Gras beads into a fatal infrastructure failure. From there, the crew revisits suspected CIA involvement in the Baltimore ship‑strike incident, the growing use of autonomous weapons and drone warfare, and whether a hyper‑militarized approach to every crisis is erasing the old line between war and peace under President Trump. They also dig into Elon Musk's expanding tech empire—Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, Optimus robots, and now custom AI chips to challenge NVIDIA—arguing that control of compute, satellites, and data pipelines may matter more than any single gadget. Finally, they look ahead to 2026, warning that AI‑driven surveillance, cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, and increasingly centralized platforms will keep raising the stakes for ordinary users who just want reliable cars, secure networks, and tools they can actually trust. Don't miss it!

On the latest Off the Edge with Cam Jordan podcast, Cam is joined by 49ers linebacker Eric Kendricks for a wide‑ranging, hilarious, and surprisingly honest conversation that swings from NFL war stories to car collections to questionable tattoos. Eric kicks things off by declaring—alongside Cam—that he’s definitely better than his brother Mychal, before revealing he once thought the Saints were going to draft him in the first round. The two revisit their playoff battles, including the infamous Minneapolis Miracle matchup that still stings in New Orleans, and Eric opens up about the vibe inside the 49ers locker room and why it’s exactly what he hoped for. The college stories start flowing as Eric explains why UCLA won him over (and why Cal rubbed him the wrong way), while Cam relives his own 3‑star recruitment journey and the chaos of taking every visit possible. From there, they dive into the wild 49ers–Bears 42-38 thriller, the chess‑match play‑calling between Kyle Shanahan and Ben Johnson, and how today’s offenses—and quarterbacks—are changing the sport. With the 49ers pushing for the No. 1 seed, Eric talks about staying locked in, choosing San Francisco in free agency, and keeping his routine sharp in year 11. Things take a turn when Cam refuses to call the Super Bowl a “San Francisco Super Bowl,” Eric reveals the newest addition to his car collection (a Honda CRX), and the two bond over stick‑shift lessons, Little Caesars schemes, and dream cars like the Ferrari F40 and Porsche Carrera GT. The episode closes with Cam talking about his NFL future. A funny, insightful, and wide‑open conversation between two vets who’ve seen everything and aren’t afraid to talk about it.

We kick off the hour with the Knicks rolling in New Orleans and the Jalen Brunson era hitting a new gear. Jerry is convinced they can take the East—but Willie is ready to take it a step further. Plus, the wind is howling in NY, leading to a "helpful" debate: Willie saw someone struggling in the gust yesterday and kept on walking... and Jerry and CLo are right there with him.
