LAREDO, Texas - Webb and Starr are leading South Texas in clean energy growth with new solar panels, wind power, and battery storage, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar reports.The Laredo Democrat released a new update showing that Texas' 28th Congressional District - his district - is a powerhouse in clean energy production – pairing renewable power with traditional oil and gas to lower energy costs for families and strengthen the local economy. He said that as a base for economic growth, the district ranks among the top in Texas for new energy projects, with Webb and Starr Counties leading the way in generation and development.“I've always said that South Texas doesn't have to choose between oil and gas and clean energy,” said Congressman Cuellar. “We can do both – and that's exactly what we're doing. Our district is producing more energy, creating more jobs, and generating more local tax revenue than ever before. This growth keeps costs down for every household in South Texas while ensuring reliable power for years to come.”Cuellar said because his district is a powerhouse for new energy, good jobs are being created.“When I talk with families in places like Laredo, Zapata, or Rio Grande City, I hear the same thing: people just want steady work, affordable energy, and a better future for their kids. That's what these projects bring — not slogans, but results. They mean paychecks, progress, and pride for our communities,” Cuellar said.During a webinar with reporters, Cuellar said his district is home to 30 active clean energy projects, generating 3,548 megawatts (MW) of power across six counties — with 18 more projects planned that will add another 3,062 MW of new capacity in the coming years. Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian to read the full story.Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

Jeremy Alder! Comedian! Ex-preacher! Almost A Grown Man! Friend! Delight! More! We have a great chat! You have a great listen! About Jeremy Alder: Homeschooled in the heart of Texas by fundamentalist missionary parents with a penchant for conspiracy theories, Jeremy's childhood was anything but conventional. Now married with children of his own, Jeremy's material delves into the trials and tribulations of growing up homeschooled, the complications of religion, the mysteries of marriage, the chaos of parenting, and the existential crisis of aging—all with a healthy dose of skepticism and silliness, dry wit and charm. Jeremy headlines comedy clubs and bars around the country and has opened for several nationally touring acts, including Demetri Martin, Russell Howard, Tom Papa, Aparna Nancherla, Nicole Byer, and Chad Daniels. He has been a featured performer at numerous comedy festivals, including Laughing Skull Comedy Festival, SF Sketchfest, Big Sky Comedy Festival (Best of Fest), Asheville Comedy Festival, and Cleveland Comedy Festival (Best of Fest). Jeremy's Dry Bar Comedy special, “Purity Pants”, has generated over 6 million across platforms. About his album "Almost A Grown Man": Jeremy Alder's debut comedy album Almost A Grown Man is out courtesy of Blonde Medicine. A ‘güero' born, raised and homeschooled in South Texas, Jeremy was steeped in a world of alternative facts and fervent beliefs and learned early on to find humor in life's absurdities. Alder started comedy 10 years ago and now he's got an autobiographical hour of jokes and stories about growing up weirdly religious and homeschooled in Texas, young marriage, remarriage, and fatherhood. Also, plenty of God, sex, drugs, and guns to keep it interesting.  The album was recorded in the historic small town of Hillsborough, North Carolina, where Jeremy lives. Said Alder, “I recorded the album at a bar around the corner from my house. There were a lot of locals there, including the mayor, as well as my wife and kids. It felt like a community event!” Jeremy went to seminary after college, where he developed a humorous and provocative preaching style that sometimes got him in trouble. When a personal crisis led him to stop preaching and going to church, he turned to standup. The comedy community quickly became his new spiritual home, which he will be the first to tell you, is not a good thing. Jeremy met label heads Dominic Del Bene and Jessica Mozes by coincidence outside a show and found another supportive community in Blonde Medicine. Almost a Grown Man will is available wherever comedy is heard. Thanks for listening! And this is only the first HALF of our conversation.

This episode of CAA Conversations, featuring Lilia Cabrera, Gina Gwen, and Christen S. García, considers borderlands-informed art pedagogies as acts of classroom, community, and artist practice, in both formal and informal spaces of art education. These guests make productive liminal spaces of art education by harnessing cultural, navigational, familial, creative, and linguistic capital. Lilia Cabrera explores multiple environments with her art education students, offering experiences to work alongside hospital patients, asylum seekers in shelters, and resident doctors in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, hospitals. Her students work with communities with a range of age groups, motor skills, and cognitive abilities. She has taught art at various levels ranging from early childhood to university.

This can turn into a raging river with enough rain Welcome to Episode 76 - When it floods it destroys – 1908 Trinity River - 1921 San Antonio. Today I'm looking at one of the more silent disasters that can hit a state and that is flash flooding and flooding in general. If you don't mind how about visiting my sponsor Ashby Navis & Tennyson Digital Publishers great audiobooks, mobile apps, and video games. Picture a dry creek bed or a street that looks calm and harmless. Then, suddenly, heavy rain falls—sometimes miles away—and all that water rushes downhill at once. In minutes, what was once dry ground can turn into a roaring river. That's a flash flood. Unlike regular floods, which rise slowly over hours or days, a flash flood lives up to its name: it happens fast, often with little warning. Walls of water can sweep through canyons, streets, or neighborhoods, carrying debris, cars, even parts of buildings. A flash flood is nature reminding us just how quickly things can change. One moment calm, the next moment a surge of unstoppable water. It's powerful, dangerous, and one of the hardest types of flooding to escape—because it gives so little time to react. 1908 Trinity River Flood (Dallas) Stretching from a few miles south of the Red River the Trinity River runs for 710-miles. As the river ran through Central Texas, the Caddo people called the river the Arkikosa and as it neared the Gulf Coast it was known as the Daycoa. In 1687 French explorer Robert Cavelier de La Salle, named the river Riviere des canoës ("River of Canoes") and then in 1680 Spanish explorer Alonso de León named it, "La Santísima Trinidad" ("the Most Holy Trinity"). However, in 2022, language preservationists from the Caddo Nation determined their ancestral language lacked the letter “R” sound. So that means that the original Caddo name, Arkikosa was likely a corruption or misspelling of the word Akokisa. That word was actually taken from the language of the Atakapa people who lived in the woodlands along the Gulf Coast. The river passes through the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth and is and was a major waterway in the region. Anyway, about the flood…. In the spring of 1908. rain had fallen for days, soaking the earth until it could hold no more. By late May, the Trinity River was no longer a river, it was a roaring, unchained sea. On the morning of May 24, the people of Dallas awoke to a sight they would never forget: the river had swallowed nearly a third of their city. Homes in the bottoms lay under brown, swirling water. Families scrambled to rooftops with what little they could carry, waiting for boats to pull them to safety. The wooden bridges that once connected Dallas to Oak Cliff were gone, swept away like twigs. With rail lines drowned and telegraphs silenced, the city stood alone, an island cut off from the world. At its height, the Trinity surged more than fifty feet above normal. The flood took lives, at least a handful, records from that time period are scarce, so there may have been many more who lost their lives. We do know that thousands were left homeless. Livestock drowned in the fields, businesses were ruined, and the muddy water lingered long after the rain had stopped, reminding everyone of the river's power. Yet out of the wreckage came resolve. Dallas leaders saw clearly that the Trinity could not be ignored or left to its own wild course. Within a few years, levees would rise, the channel would be straightened, and a grand new bridge, the Houston Street Viaduct, would span the river, a promise that Dallas would never be humbled in the same way again. 13 years later, South Texas would experience much the same from the San Antonio River and its tributaries. 1921 San Antonio Flood For 23 straight hours the rain came not from San Antonio's skies, but from the Hill Country beyond. On September 9, 1921, torrents fell upstream, and the unsuspecting city slept as the water gathered s...

Lew ApolloTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Minnesota / Austin musician Lew Apollo.In this episode, Lew and I chat about his growing up in Minnesota, and what made him decide to move to Austin, Texas. Naturally, I ask him about his tattoos, and what they mean. Then we move onto a good ol' Texas burger slap fight! Lew and I go round and round, /1/4 pound for 1/4 pound about who has the best fast-food burger in South Texas; Whataburger or P. Terry's. Then we get into his music. Lew's new debut album is called Fool's Gold, and is a 9-track journey through heartache, acceptance, and finally contentment. We discuss a few of the tracks individually, and he even lets me play his most talked about song from this record. Lew does talk about learning from and being mentored by Austin local legend Blk Odyssy. We touch a bit on Lew's previous E.P. called Jungle, and what that title means to him. Sadly, we do discuss some rough subject matter related to his father's passing, and how this tragedy reframed the feeling and meaning of some of the songs he wrote before the event. Lew Apollo has a unique, original sound, and I can't stop playing his music in my house! Special shout out to Victor Gaspar, Orb Studios, and Rey Roldan at Rey Bee Publicity.

In this powerful episode, Joshua Moroles sits down with Tejano icon #BobbyPulido, who's now stepping into a new chapter as a candidate for #Texas15thCongressionalDistrict.

Jerry Jones has been fined $250,000 for the middle finger he directed at fans during the Cowboys-Jets game over the weekend, a league spokesperson told The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday. In other news, the architect of Texas' mid-decade redistricting plan said on Tuesday he did not use racial data to design the map that could net Republicans five seats in Congress. Adam Kincaid, the executive director of the National Republican Redistricting Trust, said he drew “most” of the 2025 map that targeted five congressional seats held by Democrats in the Dallas, Houston, Central and South Texas regions; singer Leon Bridges stood at the corner of Calhoun Street and Daggett Avenue in Fort Worth Tuesday, tugging on a rope that uncovered a newly-minted sign bearing his name; and Dallas-based Chili's Bar and Grill removed its longtime Skillet Beef Queso and White Skillet Queso in favor of a new cheese dip called Southwest Queso.  Unlike the Skillet Beef Queso, the Southwest Queso is vegetarian. Chili's was once a single location on Dallas' Greenville Avenue that opened 50 years ago, in 1975. It now operates 1,600 restaurants in 29 countries and two territories.

In this episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty sits down with two remarkable children's authors who prove that storytelling is an art form rooted in family, imagination, and personal experience. Diana Lopez takes listeners into the magical world of her Los Monsteros series, specifically her latest book, "Ava and the Owl Witch." Set in the fictional town of Tres Leches, Texas, the story explores South Texas legends through the eyes of Ava, whose mother is a unique owl witch. Lopez shares her journey from writing realistic fiction to embracing fantasy, inspired by her work on the Disney film "Coco" novelization. Kathleen MacInnis Kichline brings her own enchanting tale, "Terrence McPhee and the Toy Eating Tree," to life. Inspired by a real childhood moment with her grandson, the book captures the universal childhood experience of losing a toy to a tree's mysterious grasp. MacInnis emphasizes the importance of shared storytelling and how books can create lasting bonds between generations. Both authors highlight the magic of children's literature - it's not just about entertainment, but about creating meaningful connections. They discuss their writing processes, from hand-written notebooks to navigating the challenges of series writing and illustration collaboration. The episode is a treasure trove of insights for parents, educators, and aspiring writers. Diana and Kathleen demonstrate how personal experiences can transform into captivating stories that resonate with children and adults alike. Their passion for storytelling shines through, reminding listeners that every lost toy, family legend, and childhood memory has the potential to become a beautiful narrative.

James Talarico is a Texas state representative who's recently announced his candidacy for US Senate. He's a Democrat, but not afraid to criticize some aspects of his party.  “National Democrats have talked about defending democracy or protecting institutions,” he said. “But, this democracy of ours doesn't work for a lot of people in this country. It doesn't work for a lot of people in Texas…. This is a deeply broken political system. And I'm not interested in defending it.”  Talarico joined POLITICO's Dasha Burns this week for an episode of The Conversation, in a wide-ranging conversation about his candidacy, his faith and what Democrats can learn from Beyoncé.  Talarico caught national attention when he flipped a state House district outside Austin in 2018, and has grown in prominence on social media, where he boasts millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram. The former school teacher who's studying to be a pastor is joining a crowded race to try to turn a Senate seat blue in Texas. His faith has been one of the central aspects of his campaign. “My faith is why I went into public service. My granddad was a Baptist preacher in South Texas [and he] told me that Jesus gave us these two commandments to love God and love neighbor, which means that your faith is inherently public, right?,” he said. “That means that your faith should impact how you treat people out in the world. And really politics is just another word for how we treat our neighbors at the most fundamental level.” When it comes to immigration, a Texas issue in the national spotlight, Talarico offered a metaphor to explain his approach. “People have a desire for a sane immigration system, a secure border that can ensure public safety and can ensure that the people coming here are coming to contribute to our communities and not threaten our communities,” he said. “We should treat our southern border like our front porch. We should have a giant welcome mat out front, and we should have the lock on the door.”

Many of you know that we took a trip in January of 2025 to South Texas to film and participate in a deer capture event for a research project. That project was conducted with the intent of comparing the performance of whitetail deer that were fed protein pellets with ones that were fed cotton seed as a supplementary source of protein. Our guest, Dr. Joe Hediger of the  @ckwri  Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute, sat down with us to discuss the details of the project, what they predict the results may show, and what they could mean for landowners in the south.

Are you drowning in interruptions, curveballs, or the chaos of real-life homeschooling—and wondering if you'll ever get back to consistent days? You're not alone, friend! This week on the Homeschool Better Together Podcast, I'm joined by DaLynn DeWitt—a South Texas homeschool mom of three, rodeo wife, and self-confessed “all or nothing” personality—who opens up about what it really looks like to homeschool when life goes sideways.DaLynn shares how her school year started with ceilings leaking, family camping out in one bedroom, a kitchen-turned-homeschool zone, and zero hope of a “normal” routine. And yet—she found this was actually one of her most consistent, joyful years ever. (Spoiler: You do NOT need a perfect plan or a Pinterest-ready schoolroom to make homeschool work—you just need a launch point and a whole lot of grace).We talk about the power of starting with just one thing (even if it's just reading the Bible or a good book), using tools like the Minimum Viable Day, and how to climb out of a rut after illness, loss, and every possible interruption. DaLynn shares her brutally honest take on mindset, figuring out your “good enough” day, and learning when to keep pushing—and when to step outside and catch your breath.If you're stuck in a season of hard, or just want practical ideas (and a good laugh) on building better routines, you do not want to miss this episode.What you'll learn:What to do when your “perfect” plan is torpedoed by life (construction, illness, travel… you name it)How starting with just ONE anchor habit can launch the rest of your homeschool dayThe magic of the Minimum Viable Day (when it really is “good enough”)Moving forward after a school slump, setbacks, or ‘failing' weeksGiving yourself grace—and permission to do less, not more—when everything falls apartWhy consistency doesn't require perfection (and actually thrives on the opposite)The real secret sauce to building homeschool momentum—and keeping it when you're tired, grumpy, or overwhelmedResources mentioned in this episode:Put Your Homeschool Year on AutopilotHomeschool Consistency BootcampWonder StudiesHomeschool Better Together Free CommunityFor full show notes and a transcript of today's episode, head to pambarnhill.com/hsbt47

In this episode, I sit down with AJ, the Stormchaser of the Rio Grande Valley, for a powerful conversation about the past, present, and future of hurricanes in South Texas. We revisit the story of Hurricane Beulah (1967) — one of the most destructive storms in Valley history — and explore why so many experts believe our region is “overdue” for the next catastrophic strike.From the record-breaking Gulf of Mexico water temperatures fueling today's storms, to the flat, flood-prone terrain that makes the RGV especially vulnerable, AJ brings both scientific insight and boots-on-the-ground storm-chasing experience to the table. He shares gripping accounts of chasing violent weather, breaks down what the latest data tells us about hurricane intensity and rainfall, and explains the very real dangers that most people overlook until it's too late.We also dig into the floodplain realities of the Valley — why our communities are at such high risk, how decades of levee systems and drainage projects are being tested, and what would happen if another Beulah-level storm struck today. Most importantly, AJ offers practical advice for preparedness, resilience, and survival, giving Valley residents the knowledge they need to protect themselves and their families.This is not just a storm story — it's a wake-up call. If you live in the Rio Grande Valley, this is a must-listen episode to understand what's truly at stake when the skies darken and the next hurricane takes aim at South Texas.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ada Cuéllar — emergency physician, law student, and candidate for Texas's 15th Congressional District — to talk about why she's running, the values that drive her, and her vision for the Rio Grande Valley. We dive into her first 100 days plan, how her medical background shapes her approach to policymaking, and the pressing challenges our community faces in healthcare, education, and economic opportunity. We also ask the tough questions: why are there so many sick people in the Valley, and how do we hold elected leaders accountable once they're in office?#AdaCuellar, #RGV, #RioGrandeValley, #TexasPolitics, #RGVStrong, #HealthcareForAll, #EducationMatters, #RGVVoices, #SouthTexas, #CommunityFirst, #RGVHealth, #ValleyFuture, #LeadershipThatListens, #Accountability, #RGVChange, #FamilyValues, #RGVProgress, #YourVoiceMatters, #RGVUnited, #FromERtoCongress

The King Ranch in South Texas is bigger than the state of Rhode Island.

On June 6, 1972, the Gulf of Mexico gave back one of its secrets. The body of Randolph “Randy” Farenthold, 32 years old, oil money in his veins, and gambling smoke in his lungs, washed ashore on Mustang Island. His hands were bound, his body chained, his skull fractured. The brutal murder of the South Texas “sportsman” triggered one of the most intensive investigations in Nueces County history, pulling in local lawmen, Texas Rangers, and even the FBI.But this was no simple killing. Randy had been scheduled to testify in a federal fraud case against men tied to shady financial schemes, leaving investigators to question whether his death was a mob-style hit meant to silence him. His movements in the final hours were traced from Corpus Christi's nightlife to the waters he loved, yet every lead pointed to a tangle of gambling debts, betrayals, and organized crime connections.Though suspects were named and one man, Bruce Lusk Bass III, eventually indicted and convicted, Randy's murder remains clouded by unanswered questions. His violent end became one more curse in a dynasty already fractured by addiction, politics, and loss.Randy's death was only the beginning. Seventeen years later, the family would face another devastating silence—the disappearance of his younger brother, James Robert “Jimmy” Farenthold.If you have any information about the disappearance of Jimmy Farenthold, please contact the San Antonio Police Department at (210) 207-8939.Sources: The Corpus Christi Caller-Times, The Port Aransas South Jetty, The Houston Chronicle, The San Antonio Express-News, Texas Monthly, Texas Observer, texashistory.unt.edu, The Los Angeles TimesYou can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Tyler B. Davis. Classified as a White Man, Dr. Davis is an Adjunct Professor of Theology at St Mary's University. His research explores the history, theology and practice of sanctuary in South Texas. During our recent examination of John A. Haymond's new book on the 1917 “racial mutiny” in Houston, we learned that the 1916 Texas lynching of Jesse Washington in Waco was noted as a contributing factor. This led Gus to Dr. Davis' 2025 text, God of the Whirlwind: Horror, Memory & Story in Black Waco. This work is an oral history anthology of several people classified as black who lived in Waco. Dr. Davis, a Racist Suspect, questions them about their memories and experiences with the local System of White Supremacy and their understanding and views on the Washington lynching. Gus was struck by the overbearing influence of the Religion of White Supremacy on these victims. Many of them spent decades of their life in church and/or become reverends. Much of their understanding of the System of White Supremacy and what it means to be classified as White is contaminated by Racist religious doctrines designed to make slaves/non-white people obey, worship, and forgive people classified as White. This broadcast also features Rev. George E. Oliver, a privileged black male who lived in the Waco area and considers Dr. Davis one of his "friends." #LynchingInWaco INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: http://cash.app/$TheCOWS Call: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

Texas dynasties are remembered for oil, ranching, and politics. Their names are carved into courthouses and campuses—but behind the polished legacy of the Farenthold family lies a darker story. In this first part of our multi-episode series, we trace the family's rise from European aristocracy and South Texas oil wealth into political power, before unraveling the tragedies that shadowed their name.From the sudden death of a child to the brutal gangland-style murder of 32-year-old Randy Farenthold, this episode examines the intersections of privilege, politics, and violence. As Frances “Sissy” Farenthold's political star rose on reform and civil rights, her family life was shattered by a killing that sent shockwaves through Corpus Christi society.But Randy's murder was only the beginning. Another son, Jimmy, would one day vanish—without obituary, without a police report, without answers. Just silence.This is Part One of Three of The Disappearance of Jimmy Farenthold: Oil, Power, and Secrets.If you have any information about the disappearance of Jimmy Farenthold, please contact the San Antonio Police Department at (210) 207-8939.Sources: The Corpus Christi Caller-Times, The Port Aransas South Jetty, The Houston Chronicle, The San Antonio Express-News, Texas Monthly, Texas Observer, texashistory.unt.edu, The Los Angeles Times,You can support gone cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow gone cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
