Because of their distinctive flavor, low cost and “stick to your ribs” characteristic, black eyes were and continue to be the preferred pea of the South. An old Southern legend claims that eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day will bring good luck for the entire year. You be the judge... real truth or simply superstition? One thing is for certain, black-eyed peas have impressive nutritional attributes. For example, they are low in fat, high in fiber and folic acid and good sources of protein, iron and carbohydrates. Plus, they are cholesterol-free. Because they are peas, they do not require pre-soaking; however, to cut cooking time, black eyes should be “hot washed.” Hot Washing For each pound of dry black-eyes, add 10 cups of cold water in a pot and heat to boiling on high, set aside for two to three minutes, then pour off water. They have now been “hot washed.” For recipes that require cooking the black eyes with other ingredients, merely pour off the “hot wash” water and follow the cooking instructions in the recipe. For other recipes that call for “cooked black-eyes,” add enough chicken, beef or vegetable broth, or water to cover black-eyes with 2 inches of liquid. Cook at a simmer until tender, approximately 30-45 minutes. Do not add salt. Helpful hints: At a gentle boil, black-eyes usually cook in 20-40 minutes; test for doneness several times during cooking. Black-eyes are best firm when used for salads and when they will be cooked further in casseroles, soups or stews. Store black-eyes in a moisture-proof container and keep in a cool, dry place. Southern-Style Black-Eyed Peas Ingredients: • 1 lb. dry black-eyed peas • 1⁄2 medium onion, diced • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced • 1 Serrano pepper, seeded and thinly sliced (optional) • 4 oz. Smoke-flavored lean ham, visible fat removed, diced • 5 cups water or stock (beef, chicken, or vegetable) First prepare black-eyes according to “hot wash” method. Crock Pot Directions: Place all ingredients in crock pot. Cook on low setting for 8-10 hours or until black-eyes are tender. Stove Top Directions: Place all ingredients in a large pot. Add water or stock, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium. Cook for one hour or until beans are tender. If necessary, add more water to keep the mixture well covered. May be served over hot rice, with cornbread or a la carte. Makes 8 1-cup servings. Nutrition Analysis per Serving: Calories 211; Fat 2g; Fiber 11g; Folate 83% of RDA.Former US president dies aged 100

National Sheriffs’ Association President Sheriff Kieran Donahue and former DHS senior adviser Charles Marino join ‘Fox News Live’ to discuss the growing threat of criminal migrant gangs in the United States. A new report released by the Heritage Foundation offers the first comprehensive English language look at the massive Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) whose cruel exploits in the U.S. have been making national headlines. The verdict? According to the report’s author, Joseph Humire, the threat America faces from Tren de Aragua is much worse than most people think. Titled "Derailing the Tren de Aragua," the report offers U.S. leaders a starting point to understand the violent criminal organization that it says was "honed and perfected inside Venezuelan prison walls then exported throughout the Western Hemisphere." Humire told Fox News Digital that he hopes the report will give the incoming Trump administration a starting point on how to respond to and dismantle the TdA before it can continue to grow more roots within U.S. borders. EX-ICE OFFICIAL WARNS TREN DE ARAGUA HAS GROWN FASTER INSIDE US THAN MURDEROUS RIVAL GANG: ‘PUT THEM OUT NOW’ Migrants enter the U.S. in Lukeville, Ariz. (Fox News) "The TdA is unique among criminal organizations because it has an ideology associated with it," Humire said in the report. "Now that the TdA is already present in America, to fix this, a proper understanding of the TdA is necessary to detect their motives, tactics, and overall strategy of organized crime." What is Tren de Aragua? Humire, who is director of the Center for a Secure and Free Society and a Heritage Foundation fellow, told Fox News Digital that the first thing to understand about Tren de Aragua is that it is much more than a gang. Rather, it is an organized international terrorist effort backed by some of America’s worst enemies to sow chaos and destabilize the U.S. Born from a Venezuelan prison more than a decade ago, Tren de Aragua, which means "Train from Aragua," burst into the national consciousness in 2023 after reports of members of the group holding an entire apartment building hostage in Aurora, Colorado , a suburb of Denver. Since then, reports of violent crimes by Tren de Aragua members have spread like wildfire, including the high-profile murders of nursing student Laken Riley in Georgia and 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston. AMERICANS WILL BE 'TARGETED' AS TREN DE ARAGUA GANG MEMBERS MULTIPLY ACROSS US, EXPERT WARNS José Antonio Ibarra, an illegal migrant from Venezuela, was recently convicted of murdering nursing student Laken Riley in Georgia. (File) American media coverage and politicians have cast Tren de Aragua as a group of simple thugs and criminals. However, Humire’s report emphasizes that Tren de Aragua is a state-sponsored transnational criminal organization sponsored by and embedded in the Venezuelan socialist government. Rather than working to detect and deter criminals and terror, Humire said that key aspects of the Venezuelan government help facilitate TdA’s operations, not only within Venezuela but throughout the Western Hemisphere. With the backing of the Venezuelan government, he said TdA has an intentional "invasion ideology" that is bent on achieving territorial control of neighborhoods and regions in a matter of weeks rather than the yearslong process taken by most gangs and transnational criminal organizations. 'SLAP IN THE FACE': MEDIA, GOVERNMENT DOWNPLAYING VENEZUELAN GANGS, SAYS WOMAN WHO FLED HER COLORADO APARTMENT Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro (AP Photo/Matias Delacroix/File) Why is Tren de Aragua spreading across the US? While many comparisons have been drawn between Tren de Aragua and the El Salvadoran gang La Mara Salvatrucha 13 (MS-13) , TdA is expanding much more quickly, which Humire said is likely due to its unique origin and state sponsorship in Venezuela. He also alleged that TdA’s rapid expansion in the United States is a "direct consequence of the Biden–Harris Administration’s failed immigration policies and lack of border enforcement." The Biden Cuban, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans parole program and the Venezuelan parole program before it have made it so that in many cases Venezuelan migrants are being waved into the country en masse with little to no vetting. Because of these policies, the Venezuelan population in the U.S. has grown by nearly 1 million – 520.8% – becoming the fastest-growing nationality in the U.S. since 2021. The result has been that though TdA is new to the U.S., it now has a presence in more than 30 major U.S. cities and at least 100 federal investigations involving the group are underway, as the report puts it, "catching most of the U.S. law enforcement community by surprise." COLORADO REPUBLICANS SOUND OFF ON IMPACT OF MIGRANT SURGE ON CITIZENS: ‘THEIR SOULS ARE CRUSHED’ Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday announced the state is going to target a Venezuelan gang that he said is notorious for brutal violence and murder and poses a threat to Texans’ safety. (X/@GregAbbott_TX) How to ‘derail’ the train In the first 100 days of his new administration, Humire said Trump should follow the example set by Texas’ efforts to root out the gang by delivering on his promise to launch an "Operation Aurora" to take a "whole-of-government approach" that uses federal resources within the Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the military to complement state-led law enforcement efforts as well as partner with Latin American allies to hit TdA from every angle. "It is believed that the main TdA leaders have not yet arrived in America, meaning time is of the essence to take preventive measures," says the report. Humire said the Trump Department of Homeland Security should immediately label TdA a transnational terror group and mark Venezuelan migrants as "special interest aliens." This designation would reverse the Biden administration’s policy of waving in Venezuelan migrants and instead allow U.S. immigration officials to more properly vet Venezuelan migrants. Though this may sound controversial, Humire said it's something that would not only better protect American citizens in the interior but also legitimize asylum seekers fleeing Venezuela.

A Venezuelan immigrant asks Texas National Guard troops to let his family pass through razor wire after they crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico on Sept. 27, 2023, in Eagle Pass. (John Moore/Getty Images) "This is really meant to protect the Venezuelan migrants because just because you come from one of those countries," he said. "Most Venezuelan migrants will actually agree with this because they don't want to be infiltrated by Tren de Aragua, and all Venezuelan migrants know how brutal and dangerous Tren de Aragua truly is." What will Trump do? Humire said there are already positive signs from the Trump transition that the president-elect is serious about his promise to dismantle TdA. "I think that appointing the border czar so early in the transition process was a clear signal that that's one of the top, if not the top priority of the new Trump administration," he said. "And Tom Homan, who was appointed as the border czar, is very well aware of this gang Tren de Aragua and all of the transnational criminal organizations that are undermining American sovereignty." Donald Trump (Brandon Bell/Pool via AP/File) CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP He also said that some of Trump’s key Cabinet appointments, such as Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state and Rep. Michael Waltz for national security adviser , is evidence of a whole-of-government approach in which people in the administration realize that TdA "could be a big problem unless we nip it at the bud immediately." "This is something that the Biden administration could have done. They had all the tools necessary to do that, but they missed the key ingredient, which is political will," he said. "So, the political will in the new administration to tackle this issue is very high, going from the president down to his appointees and all throughout."
