Dodge City, Kansas, earned its reputation as the wickedest little city in America in just a single year, back when it was still a lawless buffalo camp with no sheriff, no judge, and nothing more than a hole in the ground for a jail. In the years that followed, Texas cattle replaced the buffalo and transformed Dodge into the Queen of the Cowtowns. And the lawmen who kept a lid on the violence, like Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, went on to become some of the most famous names of the Old West. Also discussed are Dora Hand, Bill Tilghman, Clay Allison, Charlie Bassett, Ed Masterson, Luke Short, Mysterious Dave Mather, the Dodge City War, and the infamous Long Branch saloon.Wild West Quiz - https://wildwestquiz.com/ Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/ Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ Buy Me A Coffee!  https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest Join Patreon for ad-free bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra Merch! https://wildwestextramerch.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In February 1946, thirty-four-year-old World War II veteran Jacob Rubenstein stepped off the train onto the freezing platforms of Chicago, carrying a good conduct medal on his chest and hoping his honorable service had finally cleansed him of his chaotic childhood. Instead, his return plunged him straight into a toxic family business feud. Joining forces with his brothers Sam, Earl, and Hyman at Earl Products, Jacob took charge of sales for their lucrative gray-market punchboard operation. But his volatile temper, refusal to travel to secure regional accounts, and constant screaming matches with his brothers soon pushed the partnership to its absolute breaking point, ending in a cold, transactional $14,000 cash buyout that cast Jacob out of the family fold once again.Devastated by the family rejection, Jacob drifted back onto the Chicago streets, his nerves frayed and his hair-trigger temper balanced on a razor's edge. His fierce sensitivity to anti-semitism remained completely unchanged by his years in uniform. In late 1946, a downtown street confrontation with a stranger who hurled a bigoted slur erupted into a savage daylight brawl. Jacob returned home hours later, his hands swollen and raw, and his expensive tailored suit completely drenched in blood. It was a violent warning sign that the pavement of his youth was offering nothing but reminders of his own failures, and Chicago was rapidly becoming too small for a man drowning in his own violent impulses.Jacob's escape hatch came from his closest sibling, his sister Eva Grant, who had moved to the booming, wide-open city of Dallas, Texas, to open the Singapore Supper Club. Divorced, broke, and struggling with construction delays, Eva desperately needed capital and family muscle to manage the rough-and-tumble Dallas scene. Backed by his buyout cash and additional family financing, Jacob packed his bags in late 1947 and headed south into a massive cultural shock. He entered an oil-rich city trying to project an image of clean, white, Protestant conservative sophistication—a place deeply suspicious of outsiders, especially Jewish Yankees from Chicago.To survive and thrive in the cutthroat Texas nightlife, Jacob made a drastic, identity-altering decision. On December 30, 1947, he formally petitioned a Dallas court to legally kill Jacob Rubenstein and birth a brand-new man: Jack Leon Ruby. Yet, even as he shed his skin to appease Texas prejudices, he refused to let go of his past. By choosing the middle name Leon, Jack carried a silent, lifelong tribute to his murdered Chicago union mentor, Leon Cook. Equipped with a new name, a flashy Texas suit, and a pocketful of cash, Jack Ruby was ready to conquer the Dallas night—but the volatile, quick-tempered brawler of Morgan Street was still lurking just beneath the surface.

Summary A $30 campsite with a canyon view felt like hitting the jackpot… until Jeff flipped on the lights and watched the floor move. In part five of the DadAwesome Multipliers series, Jeff reads Chapter 19 of the book, "Ant Attack," and unpacks what a million ants taught him about spotting threats, sealing entry points, and cleaning up what already got inside. Then Zach Neese joins with a sobering four minutes on the doorways we open without realizing it, and why nobody else in this world is going to guard your house but you. Heads up: this episode is not designed for little ears. The conversation goes into spiritual warfare, darkness, and the ways private choices affect the people we love most. Top 5 Takeaways The first few ants are scouts, not the problem. Train yourself to look past what's obvious and ask harder questions about attitudes, friend groups, and entertainment choices before they become a full scale invasion. Real freedom propels you to lead. Freedom is not permission to do whatever you want. Healing, forgiveness, and wholeness are what unlock your ability to serve and protect the people God gave you. Threats come through old bridges and new ones. The septic hose was modern convenience turned against them. The tree branches were nature's ancient highway. The tactics evolve, but the goal stays the same. Sealing the doors is not enough. You have to deal with what already got inside, and then intentionally replace it with something life giving. Removing the threat is not the same as restoration. Nobody else in this world is going to guard your house but you. Not schools, not church, not extended family. The assignment is yours, and it takes courage plus God's strength. 5 Quotes "Real freedom propels us to lead. That healing, forgiveness, and wholeness unlock our ability to serve and love the way God designed." (Jeff Zaugg) "A dad fighting his own addiction can't guard his family's doorways. A father still carrying his childhood anger can't see the real threats to his kids." (Jeff Zaugg) "Every open door is a spiritual gateway." (Zach Neese) "We give him permission all the time to rearrange the furniture, so to speak, in our hearts and our house, so that he is the only spirit that feels welcome here." (Zach Neese) "I wasn't just being entertained by a movie. I was being entertained by the spirit behind the movie. And that spirit wasn't just in my closet. That was roving through my house." (Zach Neese)   Guest Bio Zach Neese is a pastor, worship leader, and author who has spent years teaching on worship, spiritual authority, and the doorways we open in our homes. His conversation with Jeff first aired on DadAwesome episode 159, and the clip featured in this episode digs into how entertainment choices, conflict patterns, and private habits can invite influences we never intended to host.

Grab paper or a note on your phone and list them out: phones, tablets, gaming systems, streaming devices, specific apps, YouTube, Instagram. Look for the white powder. What warning signs have you driven past without asking questions? Notice the small stuff. What are the few ants on the countertop right now? An attitude, a mindset, an entertainment choice that could become a full scale assault? Check your own closet. What is hidden that you have convinced yourself is not really causing harm? Multiplication Who are the men who know what is in your closet? How do you close that gap this month? Share episode 447 with a few dads who are fighting for freedom alongside you.

In Day 190 of The Ways of the Righteous (Gate of Fear of Heaven), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues exploring the three dimensions of the human soul: the nefesh, ruach, and neshamah. While animals possess the drives of the nefesh and ruach, only human beings are endowed with the neshamah—the uniquely Divine intellect that enables us to discern truth from falsehood, develop wisdom, and elevate ourselves spiritually. Unlike the physical body, the wisdom acquired by the neshamah accompanies a person beyond this world.The central message of the lesson is that our lives are shaped by whichever part of ourselves we choose to nourish. Rabbi Wolbe compares the neshamah to a vacuum cleaner that is constantly searching to be filled. If we fail to satisfy it with holiness, Torah, mitzvot, and acts of kindness, it will desperately seek fulfillment elsewhere through material pursuits that can never truly satisfy. Wealth, pleasure, fame, and possessions may entertain the body, but only closeness to Hashem nourishes the soul.Rabbi Wolbe also explains that although the neshamah originates in the intellect, its goal is to transform the heart. The heart is the source of both positive and negative inclinations, and every person chooses which side to strengthen. By allowing the mind and the neshamah to guide the heart, a person redirects powerful emotions and desires toward holiness rather than selfish gratification. The same passion that can drive destructive behavior can also become the engine for tremendous righteousness.Finally, the lesson teaches that wisdom is the key to understanding both the physical and spiritual worlds. Torah enables a person to distinguish between what merely appears attractive and what genuinely brings eternal value. Every advancement, talent, and technology can be used either for holiness or for destruction. The responsibility lies with us to allow our neshamah to lead our choices so that, when we ultimately stand before Hashem, we can answer that we invested our lives in what truly mattered._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 13, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

As Christian nationalism tightens its grip on the nation's politics, a new crop of progressive candidates is putting faith front and center. From James Talarico to Abdul El-Sayed, the religious left is making a more explicit play for political power (and challenging the idea that Republicans get to own God). Can religious progressives provide an effective counterweight to Christian nationalism, or are we just inviting more religion into a political system that could use a lot less of it? Also on the show: Christians find God on both sides of the fight over massive AI data centers; Florida's attorney general picks a fight with Catholic schools over vaccine exemptions; the Arizona Supreme Court hands the Mormon Church a win in a horrific child-abuse case; anti-Muslim opposition to a proposed mosque lands an Oklahoma city in court; new data reveals just how differently Mormons practice their religion around the world; and Texas' mandatory Ten Commandments displays face a new legal challenge.

Six-time PGA Tour winner Hunter Mahan joins Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme to talk about his unexpected return to golf. Mahan opens up on why he stepped away from competing in 2021 — burnout, the grind of travel, and an envy that "took over" and wasn't good for his soul — and what's pulled him back into playing after several years coaching high school golf at Liberty Christian in Argyle, Texas, alongside football coach Jason Witten. A few months of posting practice-round videos to social media turned into a full comeback arc, complete with a new equipment deal through Grant Horvat's Primo.Plus: Hunter breaks down the swing videos he's been posting — his takeaway feel, getting the clubface more shut, and clearing up the Justin Rose "shallowing" myth — and walks through his short game reboot under Stan Utley (of Parker McLachlin's Short Game Chef), including the shaft-angle and forearm-rotation keys that turned his chipping around. The guys also get into a wide-ranging Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup conversation: why Team Europe consistently looks looser under pressure, Mahan's own Presidents Cup debut alongside Justin Leonard and Paul Azinger, the case for a real U.S. national team pipeline, and a frank look back at the U.S. team's collapse at Bethpage in 2025.Before they let him go: Hunter's top tips for teaching your kids golf, and a very serious debate over which foursome wins — the Golf Boys or the 2016 Spring Breakers.Don't forget to like, comment, subscribe, and follow us on socials @thesmylieshow!Chapters0:00 Intro & why the beard came off1:41 Why Hunter Mahan stepped away from the tour — and what's pulling him back3:03 Coaching high school golf with Jason Witten at Liberty Christian7:42 The burnout and envy that pushed him away from competing9:56 What went wrong with his swing after 201515:11 Breaking down Hunter's Instagram swing videos 21:53 Inside his short-game reboot with Stan Utley27:16 Who spins it best around the greens on tour? 29:33 Utley's keys: shaft angle, forearm rotation, hitting it high vs. low33:09 The "level eyes" fix and driving through the chip40:33 Ryder Cup vs. Presidents Cup — why Team Europe has the edge49:44 Mahan's Presidents Cup debut: Justin Leonard & Paul Azinger52:42 Building a real U.S. national team pipeline56:18 Bethpage 2025 post-mortem: "everyone's got a plan till they get hit in the mouth"59:06 Hunter's top tips for teaching kids golf1:02:32 Hypothetical: Golf Boys vs. the 2016 Spring Breakers1:06:03 Sign-off#golf #huntermahan #pgatour #smyliekaufman #smylieshow #golfpodcast #golfhighlights 

What if the fastest path to business ownership is not building from scratch, but choosing the right proven system? In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Adam Goldman, Franchise Consultant, who explains how franchise ownership can give aspiring entrepreneurs a proven system, greater agency, and a path out of corporate life. He shares how to evaluate opportunities, assess cultural fit, use franchisee validation, and understand the realities behind earnings claims and startup cash flow. Adam also reveals the biggest myths, red flags, and due-diligence questions that prospective owners should consider before choosing a franchise. Key Takeaways:→ Franchise ownership can provide a proven system for entrepreneurs who do not want to build every process from scratch.→ The best franchise owners recognize the value of following an established model, especially during the early stages of business. → Franchising extends beyond restaurants, with opportunities available across dozens of industries. → Cultural alignment between the franchisee and franchisor can be just as important as the financial opportunity.→ The right franchise can give professionals greater control over their time, income, career, and family life. Adam Goldman is a franchise consultant, experienced investor, serial entrepreneur, franchisee, and Master Franchisor with more than 20 years of experience building and growing businesses across multiple industries and continents. Throughout his career, Adam has founded three successful companies on two continents, including an IT company in Poland and a real estate investment company in Texas. Most recently, he grew the Vanguard Cleaning Area Developer concept in Houston into a multimillion-dollar annual enterprise with more than 30 franchisees and 300 customers, which he successfully sold.

Episode OverviewOn this Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with Captain Brian Shumaker of Susquehanna River Guides for a mid-August conditions update on the Susquehanna River system in Central Pennsylvania. After a heavy rain event pushed the river up, Shumaker reports flows are now falling and clarity is returning, with roughly two feet of visibility on the edges and more color still out in the main current. That in-between water dictates a two-tier approach: anglers can still pound the banks with poppers where visibility holds, but need to switch to bigger, darker streamers with more flash as they move off the bank into stained water. Shumaker breaks down how he is fishing Half and Half and Clouser Minnow patterns in size two and one, in chartreuse-yellow with gold flash, black-and-olive and olive-and-orange combinations, all still fished on an intermediate line. He also covers how the return of some color has let him tighten up casting distances compared to the ultra-clear, low-water conditions from before the rain, when 40-foot+ casts were often required to avoid spooking fish. Looking ahead, Shumaker outlines open guide dates in late September and October before he heads to Texas for redfish in November.Key TakeawaysHow falling, stained water after heavy rain changes streamer color and profile choices for Susquehanna smallmouthWhy topwater poppers still produce along the bank edges even when the main current carries reduced visibilityWhen to size up to bigger, darker streamers with added flash as anglers move off the bank into off-color waterHow stained, elevated water allows for shorter, more comfortable casts compared to low, clear pre-rain conditionsWhen to book a fall smallmouth trip with Susquehanna River Guides as the guide calendar opens up in September and OctoberTechniques & Gear CoveredShumaker splits his approach along a visibility gradient: poppers worked tight to the bank where a foot and a half or so of clarity remains, and streamers as anglers move out into the murkier main current. His streamer program centers on Half and Half and Clouser Minnow patterns in size two and one, favoring darker, flashier color combinations in stained water, including chartreuse-yellow with gold flash, black-and-olive and olive-and-orange. All of these are fished on an intermediate line rather than a heavier sinking option, even as fly size and color shift with conditions. On the presentation side, he notes that reduced water clarity has shortened the casting distance needed to reach productive water, a contrast to the 40-foot+ casts required during the low, gin-clear conditions before the rain.Locations & SpeciesThis report covers the Susquehanna River system in Central Pennsylvania, where Captain Brian Shumaker guides for smallmouth bass out of Susquehanna River Guides. Conditions are transitional: the river is dropping and clearing after a heavy rain event, moving from a bony, low-water late-summer pattern toward a fresh bump with a couple of feet of edge visibility.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow does falling, stained water after heavy rain change smallmouth fly selection on the Susquehanna?Brian Shumaker sizes up to bigger, darker streamers with more flash as visibility drops moving off the bank, favoring Half and Half and Clouser Minnow patterns in size two and one. Color choices lean toward chartreuse and chartreuse-yellow with gold flash, or black-and-olive and olive-and-orange combinations that show up well in off-color water.When should anglers fish topwater poppers versus switch to streamers in low-visibility conditions?Poppers still work tight along the bank, where roughly a foot and a half of visibility typically remains even in stained water. As anglers move out five feet or more from the bank and lose that visibility, Shumaker shifts to streamers, then moves back to a full topwater program once the river fully clears.How does water clarity affect casting distance for Susquehanna smallmouth?During the low, gin-clear conditions before the recent rain, Shumaker often needed anglers to make consistent 40-foot+ casts to reach fish without spooking them. With some color back in the water, he can now position anglers closer to productive water, making the cast easier without sacrificing effectiveness.What fly line does Brian Shumaker use for streamer fishing in these conditions?Shumaker fishes his streamer program on an intermediate line rather than a more aggressive sinking option, keeping the same line even as he adjusts fly size and color for changing water clarity.When is Brian Shumaker's guide calendar open for fall smallmouth trips?Shumaker has open dates in late September and more availability through October before heading to Texas in November to chase redfish. Anglers can reach him by phone or text or through the Susquehanna River Guides website to book a fall trip.Allen Rupp's East Tennessee Tying ClassesOn August 21st and 22nd, Allen is teaching three schools at Tailwaters Fly Company in Bluff City, Tennessee.Friday, August 21, 5:30-7:30 PM: Dave's NearNuff Sculpin SchoolSaturday, August 22, 9:00-11:00 AM: Dave's NearNuff Crayfish SchoolSaturday, August 22, 3:00-5:00 PM: Whitlock's Bass Bug SchoolDon't forget to use ARTICULATEFLY at check out!Related ContentS8, Ep 56 - Topwater Tactics: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania Smallmouth ReportS8, Ep 52 - Hot Days and Night Bites: Brian Shumaker's Guide to Pennsylvania Smallmouth FishingS8, Ep 44 - The Legacy of Classic Flies: Allen Rupp's Insights on Timeless PatternsS8, Ep 43 - Smallmouth Strategies and Seasonal Shifts: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania ReportConnect with Our GuestFollow Brian on Facebook and Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

John shares how his own journey from skeptical engineer to follower of Christ began while his father was dying of cancer, and how years of interviewing people from every continent have only strengthened his confidence in the God revealed throughout Scripture.Together, they discuss the remarkable consistency found in near-death experiences across cultures and religions, why these accounts continue to point people toward Jesus, and how a biblical understanding of heaven can transform the way we live today. If you've ever wrestled with grief, questioned what happens after death, or wondered whether God is still pursuing those who seem far from Him, this conversation offers thoughtful insight and lasting hope.Meet John BurkeJohn is the founder and former lead pastor of Gateway Church in Austin, Texas, a multisite church that has grown to more than 4,500 people since its launch in 1998.

He is passionate about helping people discover the real God revealed through Scripture and confirmed through thousands of NDEs.

In this lesson from the Gate of Fear of Heaven (Shaar Yirat Shamayim), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the deeper structure of the human soul through the concepts of nefesh, ruach, and neshamah. Drawing from the teachings of Orchot Tzaddikim, he explains that the nefesh is associated with physical desire, the ruach with emotion, honor, and ego, and the neshamah with the intellect and our highest spiritual aspirations. These three forces operate simultaneously within every person, creating the lifelong struggle between immediate physical gratification and the soul's desire for closeness to Hashem.Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that reality extends far beyond what our physical eyes can perceive. Spiritual causes and consequences may exist even when they are hidden from us. Through a story involving a businessman who sought guidance from a Kabbalistic sage, he illustrates the Torah perspective that our spiritual choices can influence aspects of life in ways that are not visible on the surface. The broader lesson is that Judaism asks us to look beyond the purely material world and recognize that our actions affect both the physical and spiritual dimensions of existence.The lesson then focuses on the central battle between intellect and emotion. The heart may crave what feels pleasurable in the moment, even when the mind knows that the choice is harmful. Rabbi Wolbe uses the example of someone warned by a doctor to avoid unhealthy food who nevertheless places himself in a tempting environment and gradually rationalizes giving in. Spiritual maturity requires training the mind to govern the heart rather than allowing emotions and impulses to dictate our choices.Rabbi Wolbe concludes by describing life as an ongoing contest between the physical forces that pursue pleasure, wealth, honor, and comfort and the neshamah that continually asks a deeper question: What will bring me closer to Hashem? Whichever side we strengthen becomes more powerful. When physical desires dominate, spiritual sensitivity weakens. When the neshamah leads, humility, wisdom, and closeness to God flourish. The struggle itself is the purpose of life—and every choice gives us another opportunity to allow the highest part of ourselves to lead._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 12, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow. A mental health crisis call became a fight for survival, and one of the most extraordinary chapters in a 23-year law enforcement career. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio Hardin County Texas Sheriff's Sergeant Tom Lee had responded to countless difficult calls during more than two decades in law enforcement. On June 20, 2019, he and a caseworker approached a home believing they were there to help a family in crisis. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The request had come from relatives of a 38-year-old man who was reportedly experiencing a mental health emergency. Lee was serving with the local Sheriff's Office mental health division, a role requiring patience, communication, restraint, and the ability to recognize when a troubled person might become dangerous. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Nothing about the assignment suggested that Lee would soon be shot in the face by a man with a crossbow. The central fact remains almost impossible to comprehend: “The crossbow bolt struck him just above his left eye.” The impact could have killed him instantly. Instead, the bolt miraculously failed to penetrate his skull. Although seriously injured, Lee stayed in the fight, returned fire with his service weapon, and stopped the threat. Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow. Both men survived. For Lee, however, physical survival was only the beginning. The ambush became part of a much larger story involving trauma, faith, career setbacks, family, law enforcement service, and the long road toward redemption. That journey is the foundation of his first book, Scars of the Badge: Faith, Trauma, and Redemption Behind the Thin Blue Line. Lee discussed the attack, his recovery, and the emotional cost of police work as a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. A Mental Health Call With a Terrifying Outcome Lee and a mental health caseworker responded to the residence after the suspect's family requested help from the sheriff's office mental health division. Calls involving a person in crisis are among the most unpredictable assignments in law enforcement. Officers may encounter someone who is frightened, delusional, suicidal, angry, confused, under the influence, or unable to understand what is happening around them. The person may need urgent treatment while also presenting a danger to relatives, clinicians, responding officers, or himself. The objective is often to slow the encounter down, communicate calmly, and connect the individual with appropriate services. But even a carefully planned response can change without warning. He shares the full story as a guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms. The interview is also featured across Facebook and Instagram. While Lee and the caseworker were at the property, the 38-year-old suspect emerged from the home armed with a crossbow. He fired at Lee, striking him in the face above the left eye. There was no time for a lengthy assessment. Lee had been ambushed with a weapon capable of causing catastrophic injury or death. Despite the bolt that hit him near his eye, Lee returned fire. His rounds wounded the suspect and neutralized the immediate threat. The event illustrates a reality that is frequently lost in brief News reports and Social Media discussions: officers responding to mental health calls may be attempting to help someone, yet they must also be ready to defend themselves and others in a fraction of a second. “The call began as an effort to help a family. It became a deadly-force encounter in seconds.” Survival Against Extraordinary Odds Lee's survival was remarkable. The crossbow bolt struck just above his left eye but did not penetrate his skull. He received medical treatment and was eventually released from the hospital to continue recovering. The suspect also survived after being airlifted to a regional hospital for treatment of his gunshot wounds. Authorities later arrested him and charged him with first-degree felony aggravated assault on a public servant. Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow.

A Texas jury found the man guilty on June 23, 2021. He reportedly received a sentence of approximately 60 years in prison. The verdict provided legal accountability, but a criminal conviction could not erase what happened. Lee still had to live with the physical and psychological consequences of being attacked at close range. The public often sees an injured officer's photograph, reads a short update, and moves on to the next headline. The officer and family cannot move on so quickly. Recovery may include pain, medical appointments, disrupted sleep, anxiety, anger, intrusive memories, and the unsettling awareness that an ordinary workday nearly ended a life. The visible injury may heal while the emotional effects continue in private. That hidden side of survival became one of the driving themes behind Scars of the Badge. Before the Crossbow: A Career-Altering Setback Lee's law enforcement journey was not defined by a straight line of promotions and accomplishments. Before serving with the Hardin County Sheriff's Office, he worked for a university police department. That position ended after a controversy involving his speed while pursuing a vehicle during a traffic stop. Being fired could have ended his police career. It could also have permanently defined the way he viewed himself. Instead, the setback became part of a longer story about mistakes, consequences, perseverance, and second chances. The episode adds important context to Lee's memoir. Scars of the Badge is not presented as the story of a flawless officer. Its power comes from a more honest premise: a badge does not protect the person wearing it from failure, trauma, doubt, or the need for redemption. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. The book's subtitle identifies its central themes with three carefully chosen words: “Faith, Trauma, and Redemption.” Lee's earlier firing and later crossbow ambush were very different events, but both forced him to confront uncertainty about his future. One threatened his professional identity. The other threatened his life. In each case, continuing required more than physical toughness. The Emotional Weight Behind the Badge During more than 23 years of service, Lee responded to tragedy, violence, crisis, and human suffering. Each call carried the possibility of leaving a mark. Law enforcement officers are expected to remain composed while others are experiencing the worst moments of their lives. They see injured children, grieving families, violent suspects, fatal crashes, suicides, abuse, addiction, and mental illness. They may be threatened, attacked, or forced to use deadly force. Then they are expected to finish the report, clear the call, and remain ready for whatever comes next. The accumulated effects are not always obvious. An officer may appear calm at work while becoming distant at home. Sleep may become difficult. Patience may shorten. A sound, smell, location, or routine call may trigger a memory of a previous tragedy. Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Lee's experience gave him an especially vivid example of that burden. Being shot in the face with a crossbow was not merely an unusual headline. It was an event that affected his body, mind, faith, family, and understanding of service. “Survival is not always the end of the incident. Sometimes it is the beginning of the recovery.” That truth applies far beyond Lee's case. Police officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, corrections officers, military veterans, and other first responders may survive an attack or traumatic event while continuing to struggle with its effects for years. Writing Scars of the Badge in Five Weeks Lee eventually turned his experiences into Scars of the Badge: Faith, Trauma, and Redemption Behind the Thin Blue Line. Released in May, the memoir offers a candid examination of the emotional, psychological, and spiritual challenges that can accompany a law enforcement career. It explores the difficulty of responding to tragedy and violence while also trying to remain present for family, maintain faith, and continue serving the public. The book came together with surprising speed. Lee told noon anchor Patrina Adger that it took him only five weeks to write. That rapid process suggests the material had been accumulating for years. The words may have reached the page in a little more than a month, but the experiences behind them were shaped across decades. The crossbow attack is a central part of the memoir, yet the book reaches beyond a single incident. It examines what happens when the uniform comes home with the officer, when the demands of the job influence relationships, beliefs, emotions, and identity. Since its release, Scars of the Badge has received numerous five-star reader reviews and attracted interest from law enforcement professionals, first responders, and faith-based audiences. Its appeal is understandable. Lee's story contains an extraordinary attack, but its deeper themes are widely relatable: failure, fear, perseverance, faith, forgiveness, and the search for meaning after trauma. Why the Title Matters The phrase “scars of the badge” describes more than the injury above Lee's left eye. Some scars are physical and immediately visible. Others appear as nightmares, strained relationships, anxiety, spiritual questions, or memories that refuse to remain in the past. The badge represents service and authority, but it can also carry personal costs rarely seen by the public. Lee's memoir challenges the idea that courage means remaining unaffected. Real courage may involve acknowledging the wound, asking difficult questions, seeking help, reconnecting with faith, and deciding that trauma will not write the final chapter. Redemption is equally important to the story. Lee experienced a career setback before rebuilding his place in law enforcement. Years later, after surviving the crossbow attack, he again had to determine what came next. The book does not treat redemption as the erasure of the past. Instead, it frames redemption as the process of using painful experiences to create something that may help others.

The Complicated Reality of Mental Health Calls The 2019 attack also highlights the complexity of law enforcement's role in mental health crises. The suspect's family asked for assistance. Lee responded as a mental health liaison deputy alongside a caseworker. The purpose of the visit was intervention, not punishment. Yet the situation became violent. That does not mean every mental health call is dangerous or that people living with mental illness should be treated as threats. Most are not violent. It does mean responders must balance compassion, de-escalation, treatment needs, family concerns, and safety in circumstances that can shift rapidly. Lee's case demonstrates why cooperation between law enforcement agencies, clinicians, crisis workers, families, and community services is so important. It also shows why mental health responders need training, communication tools, protective strategies, and adequate resources. No approach can eliminate every danger. The crossbow ambush was a brutal reminder of that limitation. From Local News to a National Podcast Audience Lee's story first emerged through local News coverage, but the lessons extend well beyond Hardin County, Texas. Through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, audiences can hear the larger story behind the headline. The conversation explores the crossbow attack, the force Lee used to stop the suspect, the criminal case, his recovery, his earlier firing, and the faith that helped him continue. The interview is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major Podcast platforms. Additional clips, articles, and episode information can be shared through Facebook, Instagram, and other Social Media channels. Those platforms give listeners an opportunity to look beyond a dramatic headline and understand the human being behind it. A Story About More Than Survival Tom Lee could easily be remembered only as the Texas deputy who was shot in the face by a man with a crossbow. That description is accurate, but incomplete. He is also an officer who endured a humiliating career setback and found a way forward. He is a mental health liaison deputy who responded to help a family and nearly lost his life. He is a survivor who returned fire under unimaginable circumstances. He is an author who transformed decades of pain, service, and reflection into a book written in five weeks. Shot in the Face by a Man With a Crossbow. The show is distributed through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and other podcast platforms. Its interviews are also promoted across Facebook, Instagram, and other social media channels. Most importantly, his story asks a question relevant to anyone who has experienced failure or trauma: What will the person do with the scars? Lee chose to tell the truth about them. Scars of the Badge: Faith, Trauma, and Redemption Behind the Thin Blue Line does not present survival as a clean ending. It presents recovery as a continuing process, one shaped by faith, family, accountability, and the willingness to speak openly about what the badge can cost. His physical wound became visible evidence of an extraordinary attack. His memoir reveals the less visible wounds and the lessons that followed. The full interview with Sheriff's Sergeant Tom Lee is featured on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. Listeners can find the episode on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and other major podcast platforms, with additional content on Facebook, Instagram, and Social Media. The attack lasted only moments. The story of survival, trauma, faith, and redemption is still being written. Get the Free Clubhouse App, it is Drop In Social Audio.

In this episode of Building Texas Business, Chris Hanslik sits down with Tim Doll, founder and CEO of Precocity, a boutique technology consulting firm, for a conversation about building a company that has thrived through more than two decades of relentless technological change. Tim shares how his early frustration with corporate bureaucracy became the spark to strike out on his own and build a company where vision could translate directly into action.Tim talks about the firm's origins in the early days of high speed internet and DSL, how the company evolved into a team of software engineers, designers, data architects, and AI engineers, and why he likes to say Precocity was doing AI before it was cool. He reflects candidly on the lessons learned along the way, from the importance of solid contracts and clearly defined expectations to the reality that success is less about a destination and more about always continuing to learn and grow.The conversation takes a thoughtful look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping professional services, including the pressure it puts on the traditional time and materials model, the likely shift toward outcome based pricing, and the deeper challenge of how the next generation gains real experience when AI can handle so many entry level tasks. Tim and Chris also explore why going deep and developing genuine expertise matters more than ever in a world where AI offers breadth but not depth.Tim also opens up about the culture he has worked to build at Precocity, hiring for character, culture, and capability in that order, embracing humility as a core value, and practicing a flat, servant leadership approach where the higher you go, the lower you go. He describes the company's Jedi Tech Council, a biweekly forum where team members share their work, their successes, and their failures, and explains why focusing on people's strengths rather than fixating on weaknesses has kept turnover low and tenure long.If you are a founder, technology leader, or professional service provider trying to understand how AI will reshape your business model, how to build a durable and relational company culture, and why Texas continues to be such a welcoming place for entrepreneurs, this episode offers a grounded and forward looking conversation worth your time.LINKSShow NotesPrevious EpisodesAbout BoyarMillerAbout Precocity

There is a limited amount of DNA left from under Maggie Murdaugh's left hand, and both sides want to test it first. Tony Brueski takes your questions on that fight with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke.SLED previously determined the material belonged to an unknown, unrelated male, but did not identify him. The state uses STR analysis, which checks samples against law enforcement databases and cannot name someone who is not already in the system. The defense wants the reserve samples sent first to Othram, a Texas laboratory that runs SNP testing and forensic genetic genealogy, the approach that can build out a family tree from an unknown contributor.In a July filing, Murdaugh's attorneys told the court something new. Prosecutors had just disclosed that reserve samples from two evidence items remain unprocessed, and that SLED wants to run repeat testing on them. Every test consumes material. The defense argues a retest risks exhausting the only sample capable of producing a name. Othram, they say, could finish in sixty to ninety days.The same filing accuses SLED of mishandling the white T-shirt Murdaugh wore the night of the killings. Testing returned negative for human blood on the stained areas, and the shirt was later rendered unavailable for additional testing after a chemical enhancement agent was applied. The defense calls that a reason to doubt the agency's good faith. That is their allegation, not a court finding.Prosecutors oppose the defense's access request. Judge Debra McCaslin decides the sequence. A July conference on the testing brought defense attorneys, prosecutors, SLED forensic scientists and Othram's chief executive into the same call.The verdicts against him were reversed on appeal, and Murdaugh returns to trial presumed innocent. Robin Dreeke takes the mail on what a name under those fingernails would and would not prove.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
