Citizen of HeavenHALFTIME REPORT: My Thinkiest Books of 2024 (so far)Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Thinking is the whole reason the “What I’ve Been Reading” segment exists on the podcast. In fact, it’s why I read at all. It’s gratifying to read things that confirm what you already were thinking, and that can be a worthwhile exercise. But usually the “thinking” to which I refer in this list is the tougher kind — getting outside my comfort zone and considering other possibilities. Sometimes I change my mind, sometimes I don’t, and sometimes I just think I need to read another book. In an...

In the late 90s, the little town of Tulia, Texas, was up to its ass in drugs. At least, that’s what the local sheriff thought. So he hired a guy named Tom Coleman to work as an undercover narcotics agent. What Tom discovered was truly unbelievable. As it turned out, the little town of approximately 5,000 people was home to *at least* 46 drug dealers. On top of that, the drug dealers in this economically depressed community dealt oodles of powder cocaine! Oh, and guess what?? Even though Tu...

The fantastic publication awarded Jones their 2019 Bum Steer of the Year award, saying “the radio host dragged our democracy into the same sewer he crawled out of so many years ago.” and we could not agree more. Unfortunately, he trolled his way right into the president's pocket, playing a key role in his rhetoric and decisions. In an age of rampant...
