Welcome to the podcast. The murder of ethnic Mexicans on a long the Texas-Mexico border is no a current phenomena. The violence inflicted on the Mexican population of the region contributed to the reputation of the 1910s as the bloodiest decade of racial and ethnic violence in the United States during the 20th century.   Music: FreeBeats.IO IG: @apeacademypodcast & @a.p.e.historypod TikTok: @apeacademypod Sources: 1.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has implemented a new vehicle inspection policy at the Texas-Mexico border that's led to traffic jams for miles on both sides. Abbott accuses the Biden administration of not doing enough to secure the southern US border, but the White House says the new policy hurts American businesses and consumers. And Israel and the West Bank are on edge after one of the worst outbursts of violence broke out in years. This violence comes during the confluence of three major religious holidays in Israel: Ramadan, Passover and Easter.

Wednesday Red Pill Diaries-The Texas-Mexico Border “Crisis”: A Prime Example of Why Secession Must Proceed HEADLINE: Angelo Privilege by Julie Ponzi  SOME OF HIS BEST WORK - America's Ruling Class—And the Perils of Revolution    BIOGRAPHY Mike Church Biography – “Too Catholic For Satellite Radio” In May of 2015, Chris Ferrara wrote a bio pic essay on a talk-radio host who was then completely unknown to Catholic, talk-radio fans. The Mike Church Interview: A Remarkable Conversion to Tradition Changes the Face of Political Talk Radio Featured Chris wrote of me back then, words that were too kind but serve as a basis for this biography. Indeed, over the past year or so Mike Church has emerged as the only traditionally Catholic conservative in talk radio today, anywhere in the world. And I mean traditional. Not only during my appearances on the show, but now thematically, Mike has turned the longest running political talk show on Sirius Radio into an unabashed presentation of the Social Kingship of Christ, traditional Catholic moral teaching, and even the traditional Latin liturgy as the solution to what is evidently otherwise a terminal civilizational crisis. I have been invited on the show numerous times to defend all of these things explicitly, to speak of the one true Church, and even to call upon conservative Protestants to enter the Church if they are serious about saving our nation and our civilization. From there, on October 26, 2015, my 13 year run on Sirius Satellite Radio came to a close when my contract was not renewed. Chris would follow the above bio with an updated one titled, The Mike Church Show – Too Catholic For Satellite Radio. MIKE CHURCH BIOGRAPHY FACTS Born, February 2nd, New Orleans Begun talk-radio in 1992, WSLA, Slidell LA, I have been off air a total of 7 months since. Launched the Sirius Satellite Radio service as its FIRST – LIVE talk-show on 10 March, 2003. Promoted to Morning Drive on the SiriusXM Patriot Channel, May 2009, the 3rd most listened to show on the platform From July 2007 – present, founded Founding Father Films, wrote, produced, narrated and directed 9, full length audio features, two that made it to DVD! Returned to the Roman Catholic Church's Tridentine Mass and Tradition in 2013. Consecrated to Our Lady via de Montfort's formula in December 2014. I had been planning for SiriusXM to “whack me” since 2012 and had laid the structural groundwork for the next step in my career: launching the Veritas Radio Network and The CRUSADE Channel. On November 1st, 2015, in a video webcast for the press, I announced the VRN and that on November 15th, the Mike Church Show would be silent no more and would return to the air, this time on a platform custom built for LIVE talk radio.

Live—from the campus of Hillsdale College in beautiful Hillsdale Michigan— this is Scot Bertram in for Steve on the Steve Gruber Show for –Friday August 13 2021—   —Here are 3 big things you need to know—   Three—  The FDA is approving COVID booster shots for a limited number of people.  The decision came last night and is only for those with weakened immune systems, such as organ transplant recipients.  This means around nine-million people could begin getting a third Pfizer or Moderna dose this weekend.       Two— Western Michigan University is not making students and staff be vaccinated for COVID-19.  President Edward Montgomery said yesterday, however, that anyone who is not vaccinated will have to be tested every week.  The first round of testing will start the week of August 29th.   And number one— The Homeland Security Secretary is blaming the Trump administration for the surge of migrants at the Texas-Mexico border.  Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says that the previous administration slashed aid resources to other countries so they could address problems in their countries. More than 200,000 migrants were encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border in July, the highest in roughly two decades.  

Suzzanne Gamboa is the Co-Founder & Creative Director at Siembra Studios, a studio for changemakers and social impact brands. She helps small business owners build sustainable brands focusing on leadership, community & planet preservation. Prior to becoming a business owner, Suzzanne worked in the government and nonprofit sector. She focused on environmental and sustainability education in communities ranging from the Texas-Mexico Border to Chengdu, China. Here's what we covered on the episode: Suzzanne's Start to Sustainability and Branding How Suzzanne and I met a few month ago inside a Marketing Crash led by Erika Lyremark and Nicole Edwards and how we had a conversation about sustainable design, which is why I asked Suzzanne to come on the show When Suzzanne was working for the office of sustainability in local government to fulfill an internship requirement for her graduate program in environmental management, she was tasked to create a flyer, which led to a team training on how to use Illustrator, typography and colors that were within the government organization Suzzanne was inspired by the way the community responded to good design and says it felt like a really powerful way to get a message across which left her wanting to pursue similar work Between the time that Suzzanne's internship ended and the time she decided to take the leap as an entrepreneur, she didn't find anything creatively fulfilling, but had graphic design as a skill and had connections in the wedding industry so she started as a wedding stationer How Suzzanne quickly realized being a wedding stationer wasn't the fulfilling career she wanted, and how she saw another designer teaching about branding, so she took her course which is how she landed on branding For Suzzanne's first clients, she did calligraphy on place cards for a friend's wedding, then she designed her sister-in-law's wedding invitations When Suzzanne started branding, her first client came from the wedding industry and after that she closed the stationery side of her business and continued with branding until she opened up her studio, Siembra Studios with her co-founder, who is a copywriter Siembra Studios + Where to Start With Sustainability Early into Suzzanne's branding career, she noticed a lot of clients wanting copy done in conjunction with the branding, so she and her now co-founder of Siembra Studios started a partnership which developed further into creating the studio Suzzanne explains how they have a 50/50 partnership and explains that her partner is involved in anything communications related and that on the other side she does the creative direction, strategy and design The story of how Suzzanne and her partner officially started their studio last year, right before the pandemic How Suzzanne and her partner also do work outside of the studio and what kind of clients come through the studio The different services Suzzanne offers through the studio and the process they go through with clients If you're a designer who wants to add sustainability to their brand cores but doesn't know where to get started, Suzzanne suggests a group called Climate Designers as a good resource One thing that is unique about Siembra Studios is that they integrate the planet piece into their work and Suzzanne explains how they do that, for example they'll look at how a product impacts the environment Suzzanne tell us that they try to offer better solutions to clients when it comes to environmental impact and says it's important to be transparent in the way that you're marketing your product Suzzanne explains that greenwashing is marketing something as sustainable when it's really not and she gives an example How Suzzanne never knew is was a possibility to mix her two skill sets, branding and knowledge about environmental sustainability but is so happy she gets to in her business and she explains where she got the idea to combine the two When it comes to what's next, Suzzanne says for her personal brand she will be focusing more on the strategy and implementation of things and says she also offers VIP design days which will also be part of her future more Suzzanne walks us through the process she goes through with clients and gives examples of how she thinks about environmental sustainability with different clients Discover more about Siembra Studios at www. siembra studios.eco, on Instagram or LinkedIn and connect with Suzzane at suzzane gamboa.com   Links mentioned: Siembra Studios Climate Designers  Siembra Studios on Instagram  Siembra Studios on LinkedIn Suzzanne's Website   Like what you heard?

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, CNN lost half of its viewers in one year in its struggle to maintain cable television viewership in key demographic areas. Why would anyone watch a political operation like CNN or MSNBC? Then, former President Donald Trump joined Governor Greg Abbott at the Texas-Mexico Border, the same border that Kamala Harris wouldn't even get close to. Afterward, Kamala Harris never praises America but attacks it relentlessly as if it were an abstraction instead of our nation. Biden pushes an ideological agenda that destroys education, residential zoning, public safety, and how one identifies based on their biological genitalia. From the attack on capitalism to the redefinition of race radical Democrats are "re-imagining" everything they can get their hands on. Later, New York City's Democratic primary election has been corrupted and the results were removed by the board of elections due to a discrepancy of 135,000 duplicate rank choice votes. Is the traditional media now promoting conspiracy theories?

What effects do we see on educators from the second-hand trauma that they experience in the classroom? How can teachers best support their students to share their lived experiences and how can teachers respond when they do?

We discuss these questions and more with Dr. Edith Treviño, known by her colleagues as Dr. ET. Dr. ET served as a bilingual and ESL specialist for Region One in Edinburg TX for two years. Her time at Region One was spent empowering 37 districts, universities, and charter schools in sheltered instruction, educational technology,ESL, Bilingual, and innovation for all teachers and students. Dr. ET has empowered educators at the local, state, and national level. Dr. ET is co-author to “The Death of My Mexican Name" published by Rethinking Bilingual Education.

AUSTIN, Texas - The director of TxDOT’s freight, trade and connectivity section says she is looking for some “quick wins” as the new Texas-Mexico Border Transportation Master Plan starts to get implemented.Caroline Mays spoke about the new plan at a recent Texas Transportation Commission meeting. The BTMP is a comprehensive, multimodal, binational long-range plan crafted by the Texas Department of Transportation. The 400-page plan identifies transportation issues, needs, challenges, opportunities, and strategies for moving people and goods efficiently across the Texas-Mexico border, the border regions, and beyond.TxDOT hosted a series of meetings throughout the border region to gather public input for the BTMP. It was formally adopted at TTC’s March meeting.Laura Ryan, a TTC commissioner, asked Mays when Texas might see some tangible results. Mays responded:  “We are under the procurement process right now. Hopefully we can complete that within the next four months. But, we are not waiting for that procurement to be done.”Mays said she met recently with the Border Trade Advisory Committee, which helped craft the new plan.“We started discussions with them. What does implementation look like so we can start doing some quick wins? We also have an internal TxDOT border task force made up of the three district engineers and then some of the divisions. We had a meeting with them last week also and we started discussing what are some of the high priorities they would like to see.”Mays added: “We are already working on identifying those and moving forward and we are going to, in some instances, use some of the capacity we have in existing contracts to start facilitating advancing of some of the recommendations that the districts have already highlighted. So, we are not waiting four months to start working. We are already working it right now.”

Today over half a million immigrants are caged each year, some serving indefinite terms in what history professor Elliott Young argues is the world’s most extensive immigrant detention system. These men, women, and children remain almost completely without rights, unprotected by law and the Constitution, and their status as outsiders, even though many have lived and worked in this country for years, has left them vulnerable to the most extreme forms of state power. Young offered a broad history of immigrant detention in the United States, focusing on five stories across American history, drawn from his book Forever Prisoners: How the United States Made the World’s Largest Immigrant Detention System. Joined by Mayra Machado, the subject of one of the chapters, to share her own experience as an undocumented migrant who has since been deported, Young interrogated how foreigners have been caged not just for immigration violations, but also held in state and federal prisons for criminal offenses, in insane asylums for mental illness, as enemy aliens in INS facilities, and in refugee camps. He considered this return to past carceral practices and focuses on the sites of limbo where America’s immigrant population have been and continue to be held. Don’t miss this necessary discussion about immigration and the past and future of American immigration detention. Elliott Young is Professor in the History Department at Lewis and Clark College. He is the author of Alien Nation: Chinese Migration in the Americas from the Coolie Era through WWII and Catarino Garza’s Revolution on the Texas-Mexico Border, and co-editor of Continental Crossroads: Remapping US-Mexico Borderlands History. He is co-founder of the Tepoztlán Institute for Transnational History of the Americas. He has also provided expert testimony for over 200 asylum cases and has written for the Huffington Post, the Oregonian, and the Utne Reader. Mayra Machado is a mother of three children. She currently lives and works for a non-profit in San Salvador, El Salvador.

In February 2020 a group of pastors from the NC Conference of The United Methodist Church embarked on a journey to the Rio Grande Valley.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, RGV - The Texas Border Coalition held its 2019 annual meeting on Thursday, Oct. 24, in the Blue Marlin Room at Pearl South Padre Resort on South Padre Island.The meeting included a wide-ranging panel discussion on the innovative ways border communities are preparing for the 2020 Census. The panel discussion was titled “Counting the Whole Number of Persons in Each State: 2020 Census Preparations in the Border Region.” Cynthia Garza-Reyes, representing the City of Pharr, said her city would be utilizing the technology skills of high school students to ensure a thorough census count.“We are in a different environment to what we were ten years ago. As a city we acknowledge the value of our students in terms of how they are equipped when it comes to technology,” Garza-Reyes said.“We are assuming that a lot of the count will be done through our student population. We are working with each school district to come up with collaborative ways to make sure that each family is counted through the student.”In addition to Garza-Reyes, the panel consisted of Cameron County Clerk Sylvia Garza-Perez, Nestor Lopez, representing Hidalgo County, and Albert Morales, representing the U.S. Census Bureau. LeRoy Cavazos, senior manager of public affairs and communication at Coca Cola Southwest, moderated the panel discussion. Cavazos is a Texas Border Coalition board member.The above podcast consists the raw audio from that panel discussion.

Austin attorney Mike Hull is on a solo walk at the Texas-Mexico border Hull started the trip on Boca Chica Beach and hopes to arrive in El Paso by Thanksgiving. With the “Walk of Hope” he wants to see whether the border is safe or not. He said he wants to see the face of fear and listen to the stories of asylum seekers and people who live along the border. “I want to walk and listen, listen to the people along the border and see what they have to say,” Hull said. “People have been so nice (here), they have been welcoming and inviting, sharing experiences and very, very kind.” Mike got the idea to do this after he read an article about one of the detention facilities for the children who come seeking asylum in the United States. He said he is very interested in that topic and even though he is not fluent in Spanish, he knows “enough to get in trouble.” “I want to see how we treat the children. Are we proud of how we welcome those (who) come with their hope, who ask for our help?” he said in a statement about the walk. “I want to walk and listen and offer my hope.” --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tish-lampert/support

Dr. Yznaga discusses her work at the Texas-Mexico Border with immigrant communities, unaccompanied minors and families separated through the immigration process.  While the political narrative would have us believe that the lowest of low are attempting to enter the United States, and that we are only deported those who have committed heinous crimes, Dr. Yznaga tells a very different story about these families and children.  She also encourages us to see the humanity in these families and to see our responsibility to one another as we attempt to build walls to keep “others” out.

As evidenced by many of the conversations featured on this podcast, scholarship on the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands composes a significant and influential genre within the field of U.S. Western History and Chicana/o-Latina/o Studies. Geographically rooted in the U.S. Southwest and Mexico, or Greater Mexico, publications in this subfield explore a broad range of themes including: migration and labor, citizenship and race, culture and identity formation, gender and sexuality, politics and social justice, just to name a few. This episode features a conversation with two historians of the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands: Kelly Lytle Hernandez, author of Migra!: A History of the U.S. Border Patrol (UC Press, 2010), and John Mckiernan Gonzalez, author of Fevered Measures: Public Health and Race at the Texas-Mexico Border, 1848-1942 (Duke University Press, 2012). My discussion with Kelly and John focuses on their exemplary scholarship to explore how historians conceptualize, investigate, and explain the history of the U.S.-Mexico Border region. In particular, we discuss how the U.S.-Mexico border exists in the minds of policy makers, bureaucrats, low level officials, businessmen and the public at large, as more than a fixed political boundary. Indeed, competing notions of who and what the border is supposed to control has historically shaped ideas about race, public policy, and law enforcement practices throughout the U.S.-Mexico border region. In addition to their existing work, we discuss their forthcoming publications which signal exciting new directions in the field of Chicana/o-Latina/o Studies and U.S. History in general. This conversation was recorded during a session of the 109th annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Branch of the American Historical Association held earlier this month in Kona, Hawaii. David-James Gonzales (DJ) is a Doctoral Candidate in History at the University of Southern California. He is a historian of the U.S.-Mexico Borderlands, Civil Rights, and Latino Identity & Politics. DJs dissertation examines the influence of Mexican American civic engagement and political activism on the metropolitan development of Orange County, CA from 1930 to 1965.

Tonight we will be discussing The Del Rio, Texas UFO Crash. It is a 1955 UFO case reported by a former jet pilot in the United States Air Force Reserve, Robert Burton Willingham, who died last month. While flying a North American Aviation F-86 Sabre jet on a bomber escort mission over West Texas, Willingham observed a large, highly luminous orb moving toward him from the northwest at about 2,000 miles per hour. At one point, he saw it execute a sudden 90-degree turn without slowing. As the object moved past his aircraft, Willingham gave chase and later saw it fall to the ground and crash near Del Rio, Texas. After switching planes, Willingham returned to the crash site later in the day and was confronted by Mexican soldiers who were guarding the wreckage while waiting for the arrival of the U.S. Air Force. Before being forced to leave, Willingham observed the crashed object at close range and also took a metallic UFO fragment with him. Our guests tonight are Ruben Uriarte and Noe Torres, authors of the books Mexico’s Roswell, The Other Roswell: UFO Crash on the Texas-Mexican Border, and Aliens in the Forest: The Cisco Grove UFO Encounter. Colonel Robert Burton Willingham received his heavenly wings on August 27, 2015. The Colonel was born August 15, 1926 in Holliday, Texas to John Robert Willingham and Bessie Lois Miller Willingham. Burton grew up in Archer County, Texas. He enlisted in the U.S. Army on December 8, 1945 and served in Europe at the end of World War II. After the war, he was discharged from the Army and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. He was also a veteran of the wars in Korea and Viet Nam. He retired from the U.S. Air Force as a full Colonel on June 1, 1966. The Colonel also served with the Civil Air Patrol and was an avid ham radio operator. The Colonel was awarded the Purple Heart for injuries he received in Korea. Burt was at the front visiting friends when the Chinese Communist attacked. He and everyone else there was given a rifle and ordered into foxholes. A mortar shell landed in his foxhole and seriously injured his legs. He spent much time convalescing in hospital in Japan and San Antonio. Burt was also awarded a Bronze Star and many other medal for his service. The Colonel also was a witness to a UFO in about 1955 when he was piloting an F-86 Sabre jet escorting a B-47 Stratojet Bomber over West Texas. They were flying a cold war simulated bombing run on the Soviet Union. This incident was memorialized in the 2008 book, The Other Roswell, UFO Crash on the Texas-Mexico Border, written by Noe Torres and Ruben Uriarte. Burt was an accomplished musician who loved to play guitar and fiddle among other instruments. He was a fixture at area jamborees and pioneer gatherings at the rodeos. Burton also repaired guitars and fiddles. Burt was preceded in death by his parents and dear friend Jane Seay. He is survived by his son Robert B. Willingham in Enola, Pennsylvania, and daughter Peggy Willingham Hunter of Middleton, Pennsylvania. He is also survived by several cousins and many friends and comrades from Ira Jones Post 198 of the American Legion in Archer City. The Colonel had been a member of the post for over 50 years. Graveside services with full military honors was held at at the Archer City Cemetery Pavilion with Dan Reddick, Pastor of Archer City Church of Christ, officiating. Arrangements are under the direction of Aulds Funeral Home of Archer City. The family suggests memorials to the American Legion Post 198, P.O. Box 1001, Archer City, Texas 76351 or the Archer Service Center, P.O. Box 578, Archer City, Texas 76351.

Noe Torres is a UFO researcher and author. He has co-written several of his UFO books with his research partner Ruben Uriarte. Some of his UFO books include: Mexico's Roswell, Aliens in the Forest, The Other Roswell: UFO Crash on the Texas-Mexico Border, The Coyame Incident, and Cowboys and Aliens. In his professional life Noe is a librarian. His entrance into writing was with books about baseball, but eventually turned to the topic of UFOs. We will talk to Noe about how his interest in UFOs and aliens began, and why he began writing about the phenomenon. We also talk to him about some of his unique research into Area 51.
