Send us a textWhat's up Soap Fiends?  Ever crave something so deliciously bad for you that you're willing to create an elaborate ruse at the grocery store to hide your shame? That fluorescent stadium nacho cheese speaking to your soul is exactly what kicks off this exploration of Dallas Season 4, Episode 15, where characters' attempts at indulgence mirror our own guilty pleasures. This episode masterfully presents three variations on a theme: the eternal struggle between desire and conscience. Pam finds herself drawn to her handsome editor while on a photoshoot in Port Aransas, standing at the hotel door between fidelity and temptation. Despite her frustrations with Bobby's neglect, something stops her from crossing that line. Meanwhile, JR Ewing – fully recovered and back to manipulative glory – successfully orchestrates international coups and political machinations, yet can't seduce his PR consultant who's secretly recording his every move. Perhaps most compelling is Sue Ellen's journey, as she decides she's earned the right to an affair after years of JR's humiliations. When she discovers she's being followed, not even her therapist believes her – until she proves it with the determination of a woman who's been gaslit one too many times. Her discovery of who's been stalking her creates the perfect cliffhanger that leaves viewers desperate for more. What makes this episode special is how it balances high-stakes Dallas drama with relatable human moments. Every character wants their moment of private chaos or indulgence, only to have life interrupt their plans. It's the universal experience of craving those stadium nachos only to have dinner plans appear, forcing you back into responsible adulthood. The episode reminds us that there's something deeply human about our moments of desired indulgence, whether they're romantic temptations or nostalgic junk food. Sometimes the dirt we try to do in peace gets interrupted – and that's where the real drama begins. Ready to see who's in that limousine watching Sue Ellen? Tune in next time for the fallout from everyone's thwarted desires.

Welcome to Episode 25 of the HECHO Podcast, the podcast featuring the Coastal Bend's creators, makers, doers, and builders. If you've attended school in the Coastal Bend at any time over the past 40 years, it's entirely possible that our guest on this episode, or his father, designed your school. On this episode, we visit with Nick Gignac from Gignac Architects in Downtown Corpus Christi. Nick is a second-generation architect, born and raised here in Corpus but with experience from around the state and the world. His dad Raymond, started the firm about 40 years ago, and after growing up in and around the office, Nick joined Raymond and the team of architects, designers, and other professionals and has been designing public and private buildings and homes around the Coastal Bend and across the state. Some of their notable projects here in South Texas include the American Bank Center, Veterans Memorial High School, Carroll High School, and the to-be-built convention center on South Padre Island, and some 600 other schools here and around the state.   I always envy those who get to leave their stamp on a community for 50 years like Nick discussed. What an honor! If you're curious about some of Gignac Architects' current projects here in the Coastal Bend, you can check out the new Fire and EMS station in Port Aransas, currently being built with Victory Building Team, the Education Service Center in downtown, being built with South Texas Building Partners, and Hamlin Middle School on Staples with PBK and Fulton Construction.

Paula Marie Threadgill, 57, took her first breath in Heaven on April 30th in her home surrounded by her family after a hard-fought and valiant battle with cancer. Her celebration of life will be Saturday, May 4th at 10:00am at Meadowbrook Baptist Church with Rev. Cary Killough officiating. Please do not feel bad if you are late, as she probably will be as well. The family invites you to visit with them immediately following the service.Paula was born on November 15, 1966, in Longview, Texas to Wayne and Alice Thrasher. Her family relocated to Robinson when she was 7, where she was a 1985 Robinson High School graduate and resided until her death. Immediately after high school, she started her lifelong trade as a hairdresser. She would tell you that she never had to work a day in her life because she truly loved what she did. And throughout the years, her customers turned into family. Paula married Gaylon Threadgill on March 7, 2003, and up until he departed this life in 2022, they filled their years together with adventures, love, and grandkids. Paula was the one who always had an open door and a chair at her table for you. No matter where you had been, or where you were going, she welcomed you. She left a lasting impression on so many people with her compassionate spirit, love for life, and willingness to help anyone out. You could often find Paula at the beach, specifically Access Rd 1-A in Port Aransas. If she wasn't working, at the beach, or with her family, she loved baking and crafting. She crocheted many blankets for loved ones and enjoyed making cakes and decorating sugar cookies. Acts of service is how she often expressed her love.Paula was preceded in her death by her parents, Wayne and Alice Thrasher, her sister, Glenda Sue Jones, and her husband, Gaylon Threadgill.

We also want to say how grateful we are to MD Anderson for their exemplary medical staff and the treatment Paula received, that no doubt gave us extra time with her. In the end, Paula expressed on many occasions how loved she felt. She was incredibly blessed and in awe of how many people were there fighting this battle with her. She said that some people never experienced the kind of love she had before they died, but she was so grateful to have been able to. So, thank you, for showing up and for meeting her needs and making her feel so loved. We are especially thankful to her church family at Meadowbrook Baptist Church. They have carried our family through some tough times and have shown time and time again they are truly the hands and feet of Jesus.We ask that any flowers in her memory be sent to Grace Gardens or in lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to MD Anderson at the website listed below. https://mdanderson.donordrive.com/campaign/paulathreadgill

A 5 year old boy from Navasota recently received a beautiful gift from Alex Bregman and the Houston Astros.....and Port Aransas makes it to #1 on AirBnb's top Texas destinations!

AUTO-GENERATED TRANSCRIPT: Hey greetings everyone, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West here and welcome to the Steadfast and Loyal program.[MUSIC][ALLEN WEST] Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the Steadfast and Loyal program. You know, living in Texas, this place just has a wealth of history. Just recently driving down to Port Aransas, we went through Gonzales and we went through Goliad and pulled my wife over and we stopped there La Bahia and we saw the site where Colonel James Fannin and his men were executed by the Mexicans, some 400. Now this month is the 200th anniversary of the Texas Rangers, one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in North America. And so I couldn't think of a better person to talk to about this 200th anniversary than former Texas Ranger Joe Davis who is a fifth-generation Texan and a descendant of George Lamb who fought and was killed at the Battle of San Jacinto for the independence of Texas. He was accepted into the DPS Academy in February of 1963 and in 1968 was promoted to agent in the DPS Intelligence Service station in Houston. He was appointed as a Texas Ranger on the 1st of October 1969. He is now the past president of the former Texas Rangers Association and current president of the former Texas Rangers Foundation and we're joined by Joe Davis right now. It's good to see you Joe. How are you doing? [RANGER DAVIS] Everything's going well, Allen. Just trying to fight this heat that's in Texas but we're doing that well and having a great summer in Fredericksburg. [ALLEN WEST] Yes sir. Well stay inside, drink a lot of tea or lemonade and water and just stay in the air conditioning. Let's talk about this month because it was 200 years ago in August of 1823 when Stephen F. Austin called forward for the first 10 Texas Rangers. You having served as a Texas Ranger, what does this mean for you? Well, you know Stephen F. Austin of course is known as the father of Texas and he brought the first colonists into Texas about 1821 and then of course 1823 saw a need to protect them and that need was fulfilled by 10 men that he hired, became known as Rangers and their job was to protect the settlers that he brought in and little did he probably know at that time when he hired the first 10 that they'd be around for the next 200 years and as a young man growing up, young boy growing up here in Texas and I've become kind of fascinated with the history of Texas and the history of the Rangers and so growing up I made a commitment that one day I'd like to be a Texas Ranger. You know the interesting thing when you think about the state of Texas before there was the Republic of Texas, before there was the state of Texas, there were Texas Rangers so they were there guarding something that had not yet come into its full fulfillment. So you have been the past president of the former Texas Ranger Association and that's an organization that was founded in 1897 so it's about 125 or plus years of age and now you're the president of the former Texas Ranger Foundation and that's been around for over 50 years. So you're kind of a keeper of an incredible legacy. What does that mean for you to be the the guardian of that Texas Ranger folklore and that legacy? Well of course growing up and as I said and then actually becoming a Texas Ranger, it's been a part of my life actually I guess since I was about 14 when I first wrote that letter to Colonel Garrison who was then chief of the Texas Rangers inquiring about the Texas Rangers and he sent me a badge which I have still have and it's hanging in my office. So they've been a part of my life I guess since I was 14 and being a native Texan in the background of the history of my family it really means a lot to be able to be a part of this great history of this state. I thank God every day that I was born in this state and was able to serve as a ranger and be a part of that history and continue to do so today. So what are some of the events that the former Texas Ranger Foundation has planned for this 200th anniversary and can the public come down and participate and be a part of some of these celebrations there in Fredericksburg? [RANGER DAVIS] Yeah we actually are having an event this weekend called Celebrate Texas that we were due to have back in March but because of a storm that came through we had to cancel it and so it's coming together this weekend it'll begin Friday at our Texas Ranger Heritage Center with a play on Captain Bill McDonald, a well-known early ranger who actually is responsible for calling the phrase one right one ranger and Wyatt Earp who is actually pardon me on that right no problem and Wyatt Earp who was actually a descendant of the real Wyatt Earp an actor from Timson will be in Friday night playing the one-man play honoring the Texas Ranger Bill McDonald. So it's been starting with that event and then Saturday we have an all-day event beginning at 9 a.m. we'll have some Indians camped out on the ground some ranger camps we'll have some entertainment here for them be swearing in kids that come to the event they'll be swore in as junior rangers and receive a junior ranger Texas Ranger badge and so it's going to be a great day honoring the 200th anniversary with different ones participating the mayor of Fredericksburg is coming over and reading the proclamation about the design that day Texas Ranger Day here in Fredericksburg. Now a lot of people have come to know Fredericksburg as being this you know wine central location wine capital of Texas but when you think about the history that is there and the former Texas Ranger Foundation and the the ranger heritage center that is there and also Fort Martin Scott can you tell people a little bit more about Fort Martin Scott which is one of the oldest uh forts east I mean west of the Mississippi River. Yeah of course our heritage center is right here in Fredericksburg as you enter the city limits and we had joined Fort Martin Scott.So Fort Martin Scott was actually the first fort built out west to protect this area from the Indians right after Texas became a state in the United States they sent federal troops down here and they needed a place for them and so Fort Martin Scott was in the area that where the settlers were farming here at the time had been here a couple of years so they decided to build the first fort which became Fort Martin Scott in Fredericksburg. Uh the Rangers had a lot to do with this area too at the same time as Captain Jack Hayes, a early well-known ranger, patrolled up this area. He followed what was known as the Penta Trail that had been in existence for a hundred years that came out of San Antonio and run up to direction west northwest and it was made actually by the Indians that they traveled back and forth on and it became a trail that used by the settlers and the rangers. So Fort Martin Scott is a big historical monument here in Fredericksburg being the first fort built out west and we're part of that history because of the rangers that camped in the area like Jack Hayes and others during that time it was in existence. Now not too far away from the heritage center and Fort Martin Scott you got a couple of ranger engagement areas where they had some skirmishes with the local the Comanches there. One of them is Enchanted Rock and I think that's where Captain Hayes kind of became part of the Texas Ranger Forklore. Yeah Enchanted Rock is just a few miles northwest of Fredericksburg. It's a 640 acre granite mountain. It was actually the Indians used it and thought it was a monument that they was very sacred to them. So Captain Hayes of course was out in this area patrolling and got in the area of Enchanted Rock and was camped out there and one day he went up to observe the area from that rock and was surrounded by some Indians and actually had a Indian battle up there and his men who were camped down below heard the shooting and came to his rescue. But that's just a few miles northwest of here and it's still in existence. It's now a state park where people can actually come up there and climb the mountain and observe the same thing that Captain Hayes observed when he was up there on the Enchanted Rock. So the unique thing about you know the Texas Ranger Heritage Center there in Fredericksburg is that you are actually on the ground where the Rangers had an outpost, the Rangers stayed, the Rangers patrolled and there was an Ranger engagement there and there was another I think it's the Battle of Walker's Creek that's not too far away either. Right Battle of Walker Creek was Jack Hayes again which is just south of here located basically between Fredericksburg and the city of Burney andCaptain Hayes had just got some revolvers from the Texas Navy and they were five shot revolvers known as the Patterson, the first revolver made by Cold Factory and he just hit his men a pair of those revolvers and each one of them carried five shots so they had 10 shots before they had to reload. And while they were patrolling out here south of Fredericksburg they spotted a group of Indians and then an engagement occurred with the Indians and actually the historians will tell you that those revolvers was like almost the atomic bomb when it came to battle that much because the Indians wasn't expecting that. They were used to the Rangers firing one shot from their muskets or their pistols that they carried and then had to reload and it's actually surprised the Indians and they were badly defeated that day at that battle because of the new Patterson revolver that Jack Hayes and his men were carrying. [ALLEN WEST] Let's talk about your vision for phase two of the Texas Rangers Heritage Center there. Phase one has been completed you got the beautiful pavilion you got the amphitheater that is there the you know generational ranger statue and of course the the star that has the ranger uh character characteristics and traits. What's that vision for that phase two that you want to bring to Fredericksburg? [RAMGER DAVIS] Yeah that phase two is actually going to be a unique state-of-the-art facility it's going to be more than a museum. When you come to this facility you'll not only see the artifacts you'll also learn the history as you go through there. The museum will be divided into as you enter a theater and a ranger will actually come out as if he's there in person on his horse and tell you about what you're fixing to observe as you go through. There'll be five galleries after you leave the theater and it'll start with actually Austin hiring the first 10 Rangers and you'll be there as if you were actually there as it occurred. Then you'll go into gallery number two and you'll actually be in the city of Gonzales. This was when the Alamo was being fought and a writer comes in to the city of Gonzales with a letter from Travis uh saying that he's surrounded and needing help and in that particular gallery you'll see a mounted ranger group from Gonzales that was just formed and after the letter is read the captain of that group will tell him to mount up we need to go to the Alamo. Well that particular group it was the only group that uh made it into the Alamo. They knew when they left Gonzales they may not get out of there and they actually lost their lives 32 of them in the Alamo that day. They're known now in Texas history as the immortal 32. So that's gonna be part of it and you you travel along through there you'll as history progresses and you'll see an outlaw named John Wesley Harden one of the most notorious outlaws in the state that was responsible for killing over 30 men and the rangers got on his trail and ended up following him all the way to Florida where they arrested him and brought him back and you'll actually be in the train station where he was captured and learned that part of the history and he goes on to uh the modern day ranger and what he does today and how many they are and you'll learn the history of them and then as you leave that area you'll go out to uh what we call the hall of honor. We're different rangers and they're recognized in that hall of honor. Men like uh Sullivan Ross who later in life became uh president of Texas A&M University. He was governor of the state of Texas. Tom Frost who uh was a ranger captain before he formed Frost Bank in San Antonio. Men that not only were rangers but after their ranger career they they uh got involved in Texas and built Texas uh what it is today and what people know about it. A lot of them serving in the rangers and you'll learn that as you exit uh at uh ranger uh hall of honor the many men that that uh did that as well as rangers that served like in my time period and afterward. You know and we can't forget uh Frank Hamer and what he did and bringing uh justice to Bonnie and Clyde you know tracking them down and the unique thing about the galleries that you have set up there in the phase two of the Texas Ranger Heritage Center is broken down based upon the Texas Ranger characteristics and values which are courage, determination, dedication, respect, and integrity and I think that if there's anything that our young people need today it's a lesson in those five Texas Rangers values and that's why it's so important that we get this phase two completed. [ALLEN WEST] How can people support uh the former Texas Ranger foundation in getting that phase two started and completing? [RANGER DAVIS] Well we have several ways I don't know that you can do that through the Farmer Texas Ranger Foundation which I'm currently the president one of the easiest ways is to get involved with us through our membership program. You can go to our website or call our office and when we formed the foundation it's uh we have a board of directors that uh serve it and uh and we first formed it we formed a membership where you could join up a tax deductible donation and you in in that membership uh you receive a certificate uh naming you a uh member of the Farmer Texas Ranger Foundation you join at various ranks from private to major like in the Texas Ranger service and that's one way you can do it other ways we have different areas in the museum that you can join and put your name on maybe a place there that you can uh like it maybe uh in the museum a certain display that uh you can uh donate to and have it named after you are a member of your family so many different ways out there that we raise money through various donations which are all tax deductible and just like that membership if you become a member your name will go on the wall uh in that facility as you enter in the museum into the lobby area to show that you were part of this and so every day we're out there looking to get this thing finished and uh it's time to take everybody that's a part of this state and outside this state uh that to make this uh to complete it and uh so we're looking for those donors out there to and we're anxious to finish it because as I said it's more than a museum right now even in phase one we're having school kids and kids come out and you know what's going on in our country today it's very important that people know about where they came from and how fortunate they are to be a part of this country and this state and our objective is to make these young kids better citizens through those ranger trades you just talked about and we wanted to know you only have one chance in life and you can either be somebody or uh and be a responsible citizen and you don't want to mess that up and you don't want a ranger on your trail so we kind of encourage these kids through this program to be a leader not a follower be a part of what the ranger tradition is all about and be a good citizen and uh make your life complete because there's only one opportunity you know my favorite texas ranger quote does come from captain bill mcdonald and i'm sure that uh it may be recited during the play this weekend and that is a man in the wrong can't stand up against a man in the right that just keeps it coming and that's about persistence that puts it all in perspective and uh and it's a true statement and that's one of the statements actually that Captain Bill McDonald made um the ranger we're honoring friday night here as well as one right one ranger and if you think about it you know the ranger that's their job and and that's basically law enforcement and uh so if a man is done wrong he owes it to society to pay for that wrong and that's why we have law enforcement but uh and that's why we try to encourage these young kids because you have to get them at an earlier age there's so much out there today uh it wasn't out there when I was growing up too and they really have a lot of uh uh things that are presented to them growing up and today with the narcotic problem and other issues out there they really need this training early and that's what we're really trying to do at this facility because if you learn that and and and and that's what the ranger is all about it's not that he's out there trying to arrest people he's out there to prevent all this crime and and to try to tell people to what to do and to do right and if you prevent and if you do prevent to do the crime he is there to see that you to be punished and so uh the ranger has been a big part of this state from the very beginning he's still a big part of it he was an indian fighter at the earliest stages and then got turned into law enforcement after that was finished and he's still out there today wearing that white hat uh trying to do what he's always done and that's to protect the people of this state you know [ALLEN WEST] what would you consider your most memorable moment as a Texas Ranger?[RANGER DAVIS] well I had a lot of good moments you know as a ranger you get involved in a lot of different activities not only in the criminal investigation but with a lot of people you deal with from presidents and governors i've been with uh and it's been an honor to meet a lot of those and to be involved with some of those uh some of the crimes that i had to investigate were pretty terrible crimes that happened out there that brought a lot of public attention but the main part of it was that as a whole uh not one incident but the whole picture of being a ranger at my part was uh just getting up every morning uh knowing i was going to go out there to put on that sink old face old badge as a texas ranger and carry the traditions that the earlier rangers had because you know when you put on that badge alan uh you're putting on a lot of history yeah and when you receive that badge uh uh it's your duty then to keep up that tradition and to honor that badge and what it stands for and so uh every day i got up that was my intention to not let that badge be tarnished to go out and do the job that the ones before me did so my whole career to me was what i always thought it would be as a young man growing up and it was a great honor to wear that badge and to serve the people of this state protect and serve [ALLEN WEST] In our final moments tell us about the former texas ranger foundation gala that's going to be coming up in November down in Kerrville, Texas, down in Hill Country?[RANGER DAVIS] yeah that's a big uh one of our big fundraisers that's how as you said people can really get involved with this and it's a great event. It'll be November uh third and fourth in Kerrville this year it starts out on Friday night where we honor our members and the rangers and our volunteers and we have some entertainment and then Saturday night is the big night we'll have a sit-down dinner and and a live and silent option then we'll have some entertainment this year we're going to really have some great entertainment we're going to have uh George Surratt's son above his straight and ace in the whole band that uh George Surratt plays in he's up and we'll have rangers there and and our members and descendants of rangers that uh be there and uh it'll be a great night and so i encourage you if you're interested in being a part of that go on our website the information will be there will be you can already make reservations there by calling the end of the hills in curvil and we'll be sending out uh invitations and so if you want to come and you haven't been there before be sure and call our office get on our invitation list and and go to our website our website is www uh trhc.org as Texas ranger heritage center dot org or our phone number 830-990-2262 all right November the third and the fourth down in Kerrville, TX, end of the hills for the former Texas Ranger Foundation gala uh above his straight and his ace in the whole band is going to be there and it's just a great celebration [ALLEN WEST] and it'll be a great way to close out this year which is the 200th anniversary of some incredible men and women now the Texas Rangers so again please folks go by Fredericksburg, Texas.

AUTO-GENERATED TRANSCRIPT:[ALLEN WEST] Hey greetings everyone. Lieutenant Colonel Allen West here and welcome to the steadfast and loyal show[Music][ALLEN WEST] Hey greetings everyone. Welcome back to the steadfast and loyal podcast You know, I took a little time off to have a little family vacation headed down the port of Aransas, Texas Lovely place. It's gonna grow it's gonna develop on that island Mustang Island, especially down toward the southern end and It was just so much fun to watch my little Jackson Bernard my grandson take his first steps on a beach put his feet into the Gulf of Mexico They hear him turn around and look at me and point and say ocean. I Mean, it's one of those moments that you capture and it kind of brings tears to your eyes Because that's really what my life is all about How do I make sure that? subsequent generations Have better than what I had Because at the age of two, I never got the chance to put my feet into the ocean But I made sure that my daughters had that chance and of course now my grandson and My future grandson who will be coming along in December as well. Yes oldest daughter Aubrey will be delivering another grandson to the West family Spoiler alert his name is Levi Allen and I can't wait until the moment I take Levi Allen on his family vacation and watch him walk out until the surface well. But even though I was on family vacation, I still you know had to keep my ear to what was going on in my country because You always have to be ready to stand up and be you know on that pointy edge of the spear In case you get asked To be aware of what's going on So there were a couple of things that happened while I was on family vacation One of them happened is that we were driving down from Garland, Texas to Port Aransas all of a sudden, you know Little Mr. Hunter Biden shows up at the court in Delaware and this was supposed to be you know, slap happy Yep, it's all done. Nice little, you know misdemeanor now you will slap on a fist. Oops something went really wrong. Now I'm trying to understand this. He's gonna go in and he's gonna plead guilty. He's gonna say that. Yeah, I did this stuff I didn't pay my taxes. I lied on a 4473 background check form but because of the fact that you know It's gonna be not even a real sentence. It's just a you know, a little misdemeanor slap on a hand when West would be doing a perp walk Those things combined. I mean I'd figure at least 10 years It'd be all over the papers. Maybe talking about it on ABC CBS and MSNBC NBC CNN PBS NPR But Hunter Biden no one's talking about it. But the thing is this You're gonna plead guilty going in there You think it's gonna take me about what three five minutes?Then all of a sudden when things unravel because we had someone a judge that was doing their job and Understanding and interpreting the law and exposing something that didn't seem right Now all of a sudden you're gonna enter a plea of not guiltyThis is a head scratcher so as long as the sentence was this misdemeanor and you know You get away with it. You're guilty of it. I mean you say I did it but now all of a sudden when it comes to be that You don't have immunity from future charges...That there is a little bit more that could be out there. Now all of a sudden you're gonna tell us that you're not guilty? So this this I don't know Moral relativism I'm guilty if I don't have any consequences or in ramification I'm not guilty if there are consequences and ramifications Which one is it hunter? Because see everyday Americans out there know that they don't pay their taxes Well, unless you're Al Sharpton, so Hunter Biden and Al Sharpton are in the same boat They don't have to pay taxes. Nothing happens. As a matter of fact, huh, you know Al Sharpton got to visit the White House with Barry Sotero. I think about 75 81 times something like that Now here you got hunter he gets away with whatever and to hear the the the binder, you know Korean John Pierre the White House mouthpiece say that well, he's a he's a private citizen This is this is not something we want to discuss publicly Then don't have him up in the White House Miss John Pierre He is a public figure He's someone that's getting invited to all the little swore ways up the swallow ways up there in the White House. So yeah, he's flying on Air Force One to go over to Ireland and have a little shindig. Air Force One is paid for by the United States taxpayers. So yeah, we want to know we want to hear from you We want to know what the big guy thinks about this. That's why you got to ask the question. So it's gonna be very interesting to see what happens now. I think they got like a month to come back to this judge. Can you imagine now the quote-unquote DOJ prosecutors who were basically sleeping in the same bed and you know You know you lay down with dollars you go get fleas and that's exactly what happened to these DOJ prosecutors Now they got to try to figure out where do we go from here? If the guy has said that he's not guilty to something he was going to plead guilty to he's guilty. And There should be none of this stuff about well, we're gonna get rid of any future investigations. There'll be no future charges. No. You're still gonna be guilty and held accountable for that There has to be consequences and ramifications the American people sick and tired is two-tiered justice system I don't care what the alphabet suit mainstream leftist media says, we're not tolerating this anymore, I don't care whose son you are. And don't give me this stuff about you know, Joe Biden's a compassionate dad. He's concerned about what his son is doing He may have profited and benefited from what his son was doing. So we got to get to the bottom of this But again as I was driving down to Port Aransas I'm thinking how does a guy you know is gonna walk in and he's gonna plead guilty to something But then all of a sudden when he finds out his deal blows up in his face. He's not guilty. I don't know. But we gotta get to the bottom of this and this is not political and Republicans got to understand stop being afraid of the left and just do what's right. Where there is corruption it has to be eradicated has to be eliminated I don't care how high high up how high up it goes Try saying that three times how high up it goes. We're not supposed to tolerate that here in this constitutional Republic We're not The old Soviet Union yet I know that there's a lot of leftists that want us to be that way and they want to create this little Politburo thing where the elitists are there at the top and they can do whatever they want and all of us Serfs down here just worked to serve them that ain't happening on my watch So pay attention what's going to be coming out in a month when little mr. Hunter has to go back into that court in Delaware But the real thing I want to talk about What happened while I was away? I? Mean how many times does Kamala Harris need to stick her foot in her mouth? Before she does not like the taste of her own toes Because once again all of a sudden I guess she wanted to blow up this thing about one little sentence one little sentence in the African American black American black is whatever curriculum standards there in the state of Florida one little sentence and I read that sentence over and over and over the good thing is that I'm a black man that could read that sentence There are a lot of young black boys and girls can't read Yet we're wasting our time on this one little sentence instead of worrying about the fact that Even I think LeBron James your school that you sponsor. I mean you the kids there are not reading a grade level So this whole thing about now of a sudden Ron DeSantis Support slavery and everyone's saying that there were benefits to slavery. I read that sentence over and over and over and over again It ain't about benefits to slavery slavery suck, but what sucks even more is That the people who stood up for the institution of slavery are now trying to act like they have this righteous indignation Over something that they fought to preserve Democrats something that they did not support being abolished Democrats something that they continue to perpetuate the black codes Jim Crow segregation poll taxes literacy tests Ku Klux Klan now all of a sudden they're gonna act like they're upset over one little sentence and they're gonna send out sister girl Kamala Harris Who really has no black experience whatsoever? I mean, I'm saying this as a kid born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia and the old fourth Ward neighborhood Who's born a blacks only hospital? I don't think Kamala Harris has ever cooked a pot of hop and johns She's never dipped some cornbread in some potlicker maybe she never even drank a glass of buttermilk Now you say no colonel and I why you want to bring all this stuff up Yeah, because that's part of a black experience, okay But now all of a sudden she's walking around acting like she's the you know, the keeper of the Grail of the black experience I Have never seen her come out and say anything about over the past 50 years over 20 million black babies being Murdered in the womb by dismemberment, but now all of a sudden she's sister girl number one as a matter of fact She continues to our you know support and advance the murdering of unborn babies in the womb that has had an adverse effect on the black community Oh By the way that thing called Planned Parenthood that supports her and that she supports It was founded by a white supremacist and a racist by the name of Margaret Sanger who spoke at Plan rallies referred to blacks as underzirables and human weeds But she's all of a sudden upset about a sentence in the Florida curriculum for black history See this is how the old colonel would have done this and dealt with this in the aftermath of Kamala coming out and speaking out about it. See the bottom line is that the Republicans Republican Party? Party that was established in 1854 on one single issue that was to abolish slavery And of course when the first Republican president was elected those Democrats those folks down thought they went ballistic They decide they were going to succeed But the Republican Party and the 13th and 14th 15th amendments all the things that they did they took the tragedy of slavery and Turned into a triumph For people who that had recently become freed When you look at my ideological mentor Booker T Washington and the things that he wanted to do when you think about all of those Republicans and white philanthropists there were starting institutions of education like Hampton Institute and Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. What were they trying to do? They were trying to turn tragedy into triumph That's all that was happening They were trying to show that in this brutal system that you have survived in this brutal system That we went to war for hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their lives for wounded Now somehow we can turn this around Into something good for you By giving you an education By enabling you to see that the things that you had to do and to toil under Somehow we can turn that into an ability for you to do as Booker T. Washington said education entrepreneurship and self-reliance See once upon a time you had to work hard in these things But Now we can get you to understand how powerful you have because you know how to do things as Booker T Washington called it the ability to be able to do things with your hands to labor to show that you are Valued because of what you know and what you can do. That's what he talked about That's why you had the Negro big business league that was established under his watch And the next thing you know people that were formerly slaves are out buying buildings in places like Harlem That's why he talked about industrial education at Tuskegee Institute so that it wasn't about just going and getting a bunch of book learning it was about getting learning that enabled you to be successful in The economic society in which you live even if it was in the south. That's why they learn how to make bricks That's how they learn how to build buildings That's why it seems to sing all of these different type of things that they were forced to do by Democrats that they were forced to do under this Institution brutal institution of slavery now we can take these things we can provide you with an education We can make you better off so that you can have the education and entrepreneurship and the self-reliance But yet what do we have we have a bunch of chuckleheads out there running their mouths? While the whole time we're forcing blacks into a new type of enslavement Which is economic enslavement and let me read you a quote from Booker T. Washington Which really does describe Kamala Harris and the rest of these you know cackling hens out there that we have there is another class of colored people Who make a business of keeping the troubles the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public? Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles. They have grown into the settled habit of Advertising their wrongs partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances He or her Not made up pronouns male female because they don't want to lose their jobs Because they don't want to lose their jobs I am afraid that there is a certain class of race problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well Because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means to make of living But also an easy medium through which they can make themselves prominent before the public. That's you Kamala Harris. I Have not seen you go to any inner city and talk about the shootings that happened there a Couple weeks ago. They had 37 in Chicago I've not seen you Kamala Harris go in there and talk about the fact that and it's not too far away I mean, you know, you can almost take a metro You can definitely take the the the mark train. I think it is up to Baltimore. You know, you know, you can fly a helicopter Have a you know convoy of SUVs You can go right up to Baltimore Why have you never gone up there and talked about the fact that you have? Black boys and girls not reading and doing math at grade level. Oh, that's right Dog gone at West you forgot The Democrats say that math is racist You agree with that Cami But you're not speaking out about that You're not not speaking out about how the black family has been decimated because of the policies of your party Lyndon Johnson, Grace Society war on poverty What 24 25 percent of black kids have a mother and father in their home When have you ever talked about fatherlessness in the black community? But no, you got to go down to Florida and you got to start reading off the teleprompter Acting like you're upset over one little sentence That one little sentence has nothing to do with us happening in the black community What's happening in the black community is exactly what you are You don't want black people to lose their grievances because you don't want to lose your job You want to keep people riled up about something that is of no consequence And you know, I'm just gonna be honest I'm not gonna get up in arms about it Because I see what is going on in the black community Could have been phrased a little differently. Yeah But there's truth to it That Unfortunately, thanks to the Democrats the brutal institution of slavery did enable some blacks To develop it blacksmithing and other things but It was Republican Vision and philanthropy that first freed them they made them citizens that gave them the opportunity to vote and and to hold Political offices the very first members of the Congressional Black Caucus were all Republican seven gentlemen The very first black Republican Member of Congress was Josiah T. Walls 1873 to 1876 he was a slave. Hey Kamala. Did you know that I? Was the second Byron Donalds you're the third And so Instead of jumping on this leftist bandwagon and supporting them and their propaganda, you know, let's let's hit them let's go on the office and say that how ironic it is that they're up there screaming and yelling about an institution that they Established promoted and continue to advocate for They continue to want to keep people in a slave mentality in the black community. This whole thing about reparations What about an education? Our inner cities are crumbling For yet Kamala Harris is gonna run down there to Florida read a teleprompter Stick her foot in a mile And make herself out to be a fool Which for her happens weekly if not daily And you know, look I'm not criticizing her I'm you know, I don't have a law degree Maybe it's good that I don't I don't have a law degree But I don't I don't get this unrighteous indignation When you look at all the other things that are falling apart in the black community That are really the result of the policy the programs and the ideological agenda of the party of the jackass the Democrat Party I Mean help me out. I mean, you know someone sent send a an email or a text message something, you know, a Facebook post Ex-post, I guess it's not 20 anymore But tell me where I'm wrong. Tell me where the Democrat Party Has advanced the cause of the black community in the United States of America. I Mean NAACP was not even founded by black people. It was for white Intellectual elite progressive socialists Who handed it over to a black intellectual elite progressive socialists who ended up? Chowing down and you know drinking wine with Mao Tse tongue renounced his American citizenship became an avowed communist That's why WV Du Bois that dude ain't my hero. He ain't my mentor But the man who was a slave Who once he became free wanted an education That man's my mentor that man's my hero The man who said nor should we permit our grievances to overshadow our opportunities as Booker T. Washington And there's a reason why the left does not want to talk to him about him There's a reason why black intellectual elites always want to call him the Uncle Tom to sell out all these things Instead of reading his speech that he gave in Atlanta my birth town They would rather be a black intellectual elite They would rather say that it was an the Atlanta compromise speech Yeah, yeah, I see but he was invited to the White House He was the guy that had a president come and visit Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute He was the man that went out recruited George Watson and Carver He's the reason why we had the triple I mean the 332nd fighter squadron Tuskegee Airmen My godfather William Sticky Jackson was a Tuskegee Airmen Let's see we're not talking about that as far as history We've got a bunch of loudmouth chuckleheads To just talk about one little sentence So what does the colonel stand on this The colonel says that everyone out there ranting and raving about it Y'all just stupid almost stuck on stupid When you see all of the other things that are facing the black community today and you're getting upset over a sentence I Wish we were out there developing more black entrepreneurs Making sure that blacks were more self-reliant economically independent not economically dependent But There's another class of color people who make a business of keeping the troubles the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs partly because They want sympathy and partly because it pays some of these people do not want the Negro to lose their grievances Because they do not want to lose their jobs Race hustling This grievance industry pays good don't it Kamala But that's not how we honor The history and the experience of being black in the United States of America We should be talking about how we have strong families They can come together Have a family vacation And take their children and their grandchildren to the Gulf of Mexico And let them put their feet in the ocean for the first time Instead of worrying about a sentence that many black kids cannot even read Steadfast and loyal[MUSIC] This is a public episode.

007. Today, Grace from Port Aransas, Texas shares her pregnancy journey that started when she found the love of her life in her early 40's. She had her two daughters at 44 (the intro says 42) and 46 years old through the help of modern medicine. Having kids at that age is fabulous, but the circumstances are incredible: Her first birth took place during a hurricane where they lost their house and all their belongings. Her second birth took place in February 2020 (I think I say 2000 in the show) where all her family became ill.Links: https://www.instagram.com/over40fabulousandpregnant/Grace: https://www.instagram.com/south_texas_mom/
