Beaumont

Orange Field.

Where's that? They're like a Beaumont area, I'm pretty sure.

Okay.

Southeast Texas.

That summer, there were race-related riots in several cities and towns across the US, often as a result of huge numbers migrating to the cities to work in wartime factories.

Detroit, Harlem and Beaumont in Texas all saw horrendous violence that often targeted Mexican-Americans or African-Americans.

It was ugly, and yet on the battlefield, the 350,000 or so Mexican-Americans were operating with extreme valor.

Twelve Mexican-Americans received the Medal of Honor during World War II, which at the time represented one of the most highly decorated ethnic groups relative to their population.

So, yeah.

I was the regional recruiter and the regional trainer for all of Kinko's in Houston and Beaumont, Texas.

So that was a very huge area to work with.

And so as part of the training classes, I would offer personal finance tips.

something like that.

And I'm looking at your website now, and you've got stuff in Brady and Beaumont and Abilene.

You've got stuff all over the state of Texas.

Try to.

on annual per household spending on OnlyFans $38 million spent across the area last year Dallas, 84 million.

Houston, don't laugh, Beaumont, you're just up the road.

This may include you in the, I don't know how your metro area is something.

Houston, number six overall.

Then Corpus Christi is seventh.

on the list.

I'm thinking, what the hell? Number 10, Beaumont, Port Arthur.

That's where, you know, we are.

I will choose free.

This email, Janice listening to us this morning in Beaumont, Texas said, I appreciate the shout out to Freedom 1300 and frightening to think how high on that OnlyFans list my area is.

But on the subject of voting.

I think you're the one that said some time ago, parentheses, I listen to a lot of talk radio, that it seems like the more we have time to vote, the less we vote.

And something that is really, really critical, and this is something I've been using for my Black and brown people, when we see the Nolan Wells case, they voted for that coroner in Mississippi.

So when we think about accountability, that's where your vote can count, right? For someone like me who is from the Deep South, I'm from Beaumont, Texas, right? We vote for every single person that is in office, right? At the local and state level.

So yeah, I wanna be honest that there may be some moments and times where it may seem like the power balance may be a little off at the federal level, but that does not take away your ability to see change at the local and state level.

But also this is about accountability.

But then we're doing a New Orleans run.

Doing Corvilles and Beaumont.

New Place and Lafayette.

And then the great Tipitinas.
