Daystar’s Joni Lamb speaks about her son’s firing.
Daystar is a huge television network based in Bedford and registered as a church. Its cofounder, Marcus Lamb, died from COVID in 2021 after he himself and his network had spread vaccine misinformation, including an hourlong program featuring the wisdom of RFK Jr. The other Daystar cofounder is Marcus’ wife, Joni, whose second husband, Doug Weiss, filed for divorce from his previous wife just two months after Marcus died. None of this sat well with Jonathan Lamb, Joni’s son, who was fired from the Network 10 days ago. Yesterday, Joni posted a cringy video about the firing in which she said, in part, “We stand firm in our faith, knowing that God is with us, and his purpose for Daystar is far greater than any present challenge we may be facing.” The Righteous Lambs. I call dibs. Or maybe, to avoid getting sued, The Righteous Lambstones.
Kyrie is awesome.
The Mavs beat the Hawks 129-119, and Kyrie, playing through an illness, dropped 32 points. I needed a short item after that Daystar craziness.
It’s cold!
Super short item. I respect your short attention span.
Erykah Badu will do a DJ set tomorrow.
If I told you Badu was going to spin as DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown, would you guess that the venue will be the Lexus Box Garden in Plano’s Legacy Hall?
Someone is shooting coyotes in East Dallas.
Three animals have turned up dead in the Lochwood neighborhood. Dallas Animal Services says it’s investigating. Fun fact: in Texas, a hunting license isn’t required to hunt depredating or plundering coyotes on private property, as long as the hunter has landowner authorization. So says the Star-Telegram.
