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.

This weekend in South Texas, I was struck with a sudden wave of gratitude. For the land. For the sun. For the fresh air and good food. For friends who are more like family. For the kind of community where makeup doesn't matter, kids are loved like your own, and conversations fill your soul.In this episode, I share a story from our time dove hunting at a friend's ranch and how it reminded me that gratitude can shift everything, even in the middle of chaos.

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.”

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.

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#

Ted Oakley, Managing Partner and Founder of Oxbow Advisors, joins Julia La Roche on episode 285 to discuss the economy and markets.Sponsored by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia In this episode, Ted warns that markets are extremely expensive at 23x future earnings while the economy is flatlining. He expects coming Fed rate cuts to be an Arthur Burns-style policy mistake, creating a window to sell long bonds before higher structural inflation takes hold over the next 5-10 years. Oakley advocates significant cash positions (his firm holds 50% short-term treasuries) and exposure to commodities, energy, and gold as hedges against dollar decline and inflation. He sees concerning parallels to late 1990s day-trading mania among retail investors and emphasizes risk management over aggressive growth, particularly for older investors who need to preserve wealth rather than chase returns.With more than forty years of experience in advising high-net-worth clients in the investment industry, Oakley implements the firm's proprietary investment strategies and the “Oxbow Principles” to provide a unique investment perspective. He is a frequent guest on FOX Business News, Bloomberg Radio, KITCO News, Cheddar TV, Yahoo Finance, and many more. Oakley is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and a Certified Financial Planner (CFP). He is a member of the Austin Society of Financial Analysts. He is also a Partner of Herndon Plant Oakley Ltd., an investment company. He is a Board Member of Texas State Aquarium, American Bank, and American Bank Holding Company. Mr. Oakley is a United States Army Veteran. Oakley began his career in Dallas, Texas, over 35 years ago. He is the author of nine books: You Sold Your Company, $20 Million and Broke, Rich Kids Broke Kids – The Failure of Traditional Estate Planning, Crazy Time – Surviving the First 12 Months after Selling Your Company, Wall Street Lies, Danger Time, My Story, The Psychology of Staying Rich, and Your Money Mentality. Oakley's primary philanthropic interest is helping children. He is Chairman Emeritus and Founder of the Foster Angels of South Texas, the largest foster child foundation in South Texas, as well as Chairman Emeritus and Founder of Austin, Texas-based Foster Angels of Central Texas.

Interview with William M. Sheriff, MSc – Founder & Executive Chairman, enCore EnergyOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/encore-energy-tsxveu-us-uranium-leader-doubles-production-to-3700-lbsday-in-q2-turnaround-7356Recording date: 4th September 2025enCore Energy has emerged as a standout performer in the uranium sector, delivering remarkable operational improvements that increased daily uranium production by 200-300% while securing significant institutional investment. The company's transformation represents a compelling case study in operational excellence during a period of global uranium supply constraints.Following a strategic leadership overhaul in early 2025, enCore replaced key executives including the CEO and COO, implementing urgent operational improvements that dramatically enhanced production efficiency. The results have been striking: well completion times dropped from seven days to just 1.3 days, while the company expanded its drilling operations from 12-14 rigs to 29, with plans to reach 32 by October 2025.This operational discipline reflects both the rapid recovery characteristics of South Texas uranium deposits and the company's newfound focus on execution. As one of America's only two operational in-situ recovery (ISR) plants, enCore's ability to scale production quickly provides significant competitive advantages in an increasingly supply-constrained market.The company's operational success attracted unprecedented institutional interest, culminating in a $115 million convertible note offering at a 5.5% coupon rate—terms rarely seen in the uranium sector. Unlike typical convertible structures dominated by hedge funds, approximately 45% of this financing came from long-term oriented institutional investors, including funds managing $10-30 billion in assets.This institutional validation extends beyond immediate capital needs, introducing enCore to an entirely new class of generalist investors and creating relationships that could support future strategic initiatives.enCore recently completed acquisition of the Tacubaya project, immediately adjacent to its flagship Alta Mesa operation, adding significant uranium resources while providing critical geological continuity. The company has also enhanced its data analysis capabilities, identifying new productive trends within existing assets by examining thousands of drill holes on a more granular basis.The development pipeline includes a South Dakota project with Fast-41 federal designation, providing timeline certainty for permitting while leveraging enCore's established regulatory track record. The company has identified approximately 20 advanced exploration projects across the US for potential acquisition, positioning itself as a consolidation catalyst in the fragmented uranium sector.With uranium demand surging globally and few new producers successfully reaching commercial production, enCore's combination of proven operations, expanding resource base, and institutional backing creates sustainable competitive advantages in an industry where execution capabilities increasingly differentiate winners from development-stage competitors.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/encore-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

As the November 2026 mid-term elections inch closer and closer, the redistricting of states are at the forefront of controversy. President Trump created a political firestorm when he asked Governor Abbott & Texas Republicans to redraw voting maps that would add  five more congressional seats for the GOP. This new map targeted Democratic U.S. House members in the Austin, Dallas, and Houston metro areas and in South Texas. In protest, Texas Democrat state representatives fled Texas, hopped a plane to a few Blue states, and refused to vote on the proposed map.  On August 18th, the Democrats returned to the Capitol, after Governor Abbott took legal action against them, but not without making their mark and putting a spotlight on redistricting. In response to the political chaos in Texas, Governor of California, Gavin Newson, had his own strategy in mind, by proposing California congressional maps, which would add five Democratic seats, offsetting Texas gains.

Trump hopes to get in Heaven by saving Russian/Ukrainian lives; Surge of young Brits trusting in God; 5 VA schools lose federal funding over pro-transgender policies

The WorldView in 5 Minutes

It's Thursday, August 21st, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Muslims beat Christian convert and take his wife and six kids An Islamic teacher in Uganda, who converted to Christianity, suffered persecution from his own family recently. Thirty-nine-year old Wambuzi Maka Uthman was at a mosque earlier this month when he received a vision about repentance. On his way home, he met a pastor and learned about Jesus.  Uthman told Morning Star News, “I then understood that it was [Jesus] Who had sent me to my fellow Muslims to repent. … I was so happy beyond expectations as I developed a deeper love for Jesus.”  Uthman began telling his family and neighbors about the Gospel.  In response, his extended family beat him and destroyed his house.  While he received treatment at the hospital, his wife took their six children with her to live with relatives. Such persecution is common for Muslims who turn to Christ in Uganda.  In Luke 18:29-30, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or parents or brothers or wife or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life.” State Department: Human rights in United Kingdom have worsened Last Tuesday, the U.S. State Department released its “2024 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices.” The report noted that the human rights situation in the United Kingdom worsened last year. For example, the U.K. restricts free speech near abortion mills. Citizens have faced arrest simply for silent prayer inside such “buffer zones.” = Lorcan Price with Alliance Defending Freedom International said, “It's plain to see that the censorship crisis is worsening in the UK – from citizens being arrested and prosecuted just for praying in their heads, to the Online Safety Act clamping down on free expression online.” Surge of young Brits trusting in God Speaking of England, the country is witnessing a surge in the number of young adults who believe in God.  A new YouGov poll found 37% of Brits, between the ages of 18 and 24, believe in God. That's up from 22% in 2019, and it's higher than any other age group.  A YouGov study from earlier this year found that young adults are also attending church more. Sixteen percent attend at least once per month now, up from 4% in 2018. 5 VA schools lose federal funding over pro-transgender policies In the United States, the Trump administration is cutting federal funding to five northern Virginia school districts over their transgender bathroom policies, reports the Associated Press.  U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon  said the districts are “choosing to abide by woke gender ideology in place of federal law. … Today's accountability measures are necessary because they have stubbornly refused to provide a safe environment for young women in their schools.” Shockingly,  Life News reports that one of the school districts even arranged and bankrolled abortions for girls without their parents' knowledge.  Trump hopes to get in Heaven by saving Russian/Ukrainian lives President Donald Trump gave a phone interview to “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday. Trump said he wants to save thousands of lives by helping to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. He even said he hopes that will help him get to Heaven.  Listen.   TRUMP: “If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that's a pretty, I want to try and get to Heaven, if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to Heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” While some initially concluded that President Trump was revealing a physical health crisis when he said, “I hear I'm not doing well.”  It becomes clear that he is referring to his spiritual health Evangelist Franklin Graham responded on Facebook. He wrote, “We do get to Heaven by good works—not by our own good works, but by the perfect work of God's Son, Jesus Christ. … That's how one gets to Heaven—not by our good works, but by His.” In Ephesians 2:8-9, the Apostle Paul wrote, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” In other words, no matter how many lives President Trump might save by helping to end the Russian-Ukrainian War, his lifesaving action will not save him from Hell.   He can only be assured of an eternal address in Heaven if he confesses his sins and trusts Jesus Christ as Savior. (Romans 10:9) Texas House passes Trump redistricting plan On Wednesday, the Texas House passed a new congressional map  that stands to boost Republicans' power in Congress, overcoming weeks of protests from Texas House Democrats who fled the state to stall a vote on the mid-cycle redistricting, reports the San Antonio Express-News. The new map, ordered up by President Donald Trump and endorsed by Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott, would wipe out five Democratic-held congressional districts in Austin, Dallas, Houston and South Texas. It passed the chamber, 88-52, along party lines. Texas State Rep. Todd Hunter, a Corpus Christi Republican and the bill's author, said, “The Supreme Court says we can use political partisanship to do congressional redistricting. We will push forward." The vote came after Republicans took extraordinary steps to push the bill over the finish line. On Monday, when dozens of quorum-busting Democrats returned to the Capitol in Austin, Republican House leadership refused to let them leave without state trooper escorts who would “ensure their return” for Wednesday's votes. On Wednesday, Democrats offered up a dozen amendments seeking to kill or amend the bill, all of which were unsuccessful. The map now heads to the Texas Senate, which is expected to quickly pass it, and then to Texas Governor Greg Abbott who will sign it.  Bible-based character education comes to 34 states And finally, a record number of students will receive Bible-based character education during public school hours this coming year.
