Credit: Dallas Observer With a solemn tone and wrinkled brows, Owen Shroyer, the host of the show, Infowars told his audience the bad news. There is a warrant for his arrest, and Shroyer is going to turn himself in on Monday. The reason for the warrant is that he is charged in connection with the US Capitol Riot, which happened on 6 January. This incident happened when the then President Donald Trump tried to block lawmakers from endorsing the presidential elections in November 2020. For some time, Owen Shroyer spread false information claiming that the elections were rigged. Now he is facing federal charges for his alleged participation. Shroyer said on Friday, “There’s a lot of questions. Some I have answers to; some I don’t. I plan on declaring the innocence of these charges because I am.” Among the charges Shroyer faces the charges of a misdemeanor, entering a restricted building or remaining in one, disorderly conduct on the grounds. So far, reports say that the Federal court did

In Texas, lately, there's been a new and interesting wine emerging. A local entrepreneur is dipping her toes in the waters to explore and succeed in this new business. For several years, vineyards in Texas have had fame. We see millions of visitors coming in to take a sip of wine from more than fifty vineyards in Texas Hill County. In fact, the area stretching from Austin all the way to Fredericksburg and from New Braunfels to Lampasas earned their place among the top 10 Best Wine Regions in the county, according to USA Today . Credits: Dallas Observer There's more to this. The Hill County is not the only place in Texas where you get good grapes. Llano Estacado is also where you have 270,000 acres of high plains also known as the Texas High Plains or THP American Viticultural Area or AVA. This entire area is 3,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level and sits like a crown. It is on the east of a desert that has a bright sun in the day and cool nights. This makes it a great spot for g

 A report by Allure.com says that cosmetic surgeries across the nation have risen in numbers in the past year. States like Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, and New York are where this has become very prominent. The reasons are still unclear, so we can just conjecture. Addressing this observation, John L. Burns, the president of Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute said: “When COVID hit, we all had to shut down. We reopened in March of last year, but we were shut down for elective surgeries because of the mandate for about eight weeks. Coming back from COVID, we were very concerned about our business, obviously, in the middle of a pandemic. What surprised everybody that I know was the volume of interested patients in cosmetic surgery — and nonsurgical things, like Botox and fillers and skincare and lasers — just came back like a force.” Burns first thought the spike in cases opting for plastic surgery was from a backlog build-up with anxious clients after the two-month lockdown in North Tex

 If you are looking for a quick bite in Dallas, then BBQ King is one of the places to go. It first opened in Richardson, and in 2018, moved to Garland. Credit: Dallas Observer In 2019, a report mentioned BBQ King as one of DFW's top Pakistani food destinations . It has ever since been one of the most interesting restaurants to go to. Hearing so much about it, I finally decided to try it and write about it. Mouthwatering Pakistani Cuisine Credit: Dallas Observer They make a wild burger and have probably the best naan you may find in this area. They serve it stuffed with potatoes, spiced up, mixed with sauces, and cilantro with sesame seeds. They also have the traditional Pakistani cuisine Haleem, which is a porridge-like meal. The ingredients are lentils, ground meat, wheat, butter (ghee), and fried onions, and ginger garnish. It is something I liked, and I recommend it. Recommendation My best pick here is the "Kunna Gosht," a recipe made with goat leg; somewhat of

 As of 6 August, there are reports of at least 830 new coronavirus cases reported in Dallas County, and there are only 25 ICU beds available. The overall reported cases across Tarrant and Dallas counties are more than 600,000; sadly, the death toll reported is 4224. In Tarrant County, reportedly there are as many as 929 new cases. These numbers justify pushing for reporting it as a pandemic and requiring the government to take necessary measures.

In the fourteen days before the last two weeks, the numbers wer

Who is Santos Rodriguez? In 1973, he was a twelve-year-old Mexican-American young boy, who was in the front passenger seat of a Dallas police cruiser with his older brother (then thirteen years old) in the backseat. Police picked them up while investigating a case regarding vending machine theft. Credit: Dallas News “You are going to be all right,” brother remembers telling unresponsive Santos. As anyone would expect, the two denied any involvement in the robbery. The case took a turn when one of the cops handling the case, took things too far while trying to coax him to confess. The cop was Darrell Cain, and he shot Rodriquez in the head. Reportedly, Rodriguez died with his last words, “I am telling the truth.” Later, the investigation revealed that the fingerprints did not match either of the two brothers.

 A cold front brings occasional cold spells, which is a relief in summer. Sometimes, there is rain and hail fall, which gives inhabitants some respite from the high temperatures. Although, it does not happen every year and is hardly predictable, this time we are experiencing some summer cold fronts. Earlier on Sunday, the Summer Cold Front came with some heavy rains and storms of wind through various parts of North Texas. According to weather reports , it is passing through Northeastern Tarrant County and we can expect Ping-Pong ball-sized hail. There were strong gusts of wind and heavy downpours some hours ago across North Texas as the summer storm passed through the region. In a few places in Dallas-Fort Worth, National Weather reports say there were hails of the size of golf balls. Moreover, the weather service issued several warnings about the severe thunderstorm approaching for people in Collin, Dallas, Tarrant, and Denton counties. As the storm weakened, the major worry w
