President Trump ended “radical and wasteful government DEI programs” but discrimination is still happening in secret.

Political commentator Lauren Chen says an FBI raid on her home and a DOJ investigation into her media company caused severe financial and personal harm, even though no charges were filed. Chen says agents seized bank accounts, triggering six-figure legal bills, unpaid payroll chaos, visa problems, and ultimately forcing her family to leave the United States. Over the holidays, Chen publicly thanked the State Department FBI and CBP for helping her family return to the United States. Kira Davis is a conservative commentator and media personality.

Top Stories for January 17th Publish Date: January 17th PRE-ROLL: Kia Mall of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 17th and Happy Birthday to James Earle Jones I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett commission accused of deliberately skipping GOP member for vice chair Kemp proposes money for Highway 316 projects, fighting homelessness GCPS receives grant from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Gwinnett commission accused of deliberately skipping GOP member for vice chair Drama is brewing in Gwinnett County politics, and it’s all about the vice chairman seat on the county commission. Republicans are accusing the Democratic majority of intentionally skipping over the board’s lone Republican, District 4 Commissioner Matthew Holtkamp, for the ceremonial role. For years, the vice chair position rotated among district commissioners—until it didn’t. Holtkamp, now in his fourth year, has never been chosen. Instead, the board voted 4-1 to name Democrat Ben Ku as vice chair, sparking claims of “partisan gamesmanship.” Holtkamp, for his part, kept it diplomatic: “I was disappointed but respect the process.” Others? Not so much. Republicans are calling it a blatant snub. Democrat Kirkland Carden didn’t mince words, saying Holtkamp’s “partisan antics” cost him the role. But Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson downplayed the drama, calling the vote a routine decision. And so, the debate rages on. STORY 2: Kemp proposes money for Highway 316 projects, fighting homelessness Gov. Brian Kemp has big plans for Georgia this year—think highways and homelessness. At the Georgia Chamber’s Eggs and Issues Breakfast, he laid out his priorities, and for Gwinnett residents, one stands out: $200 million to keep transforming State Route 316 into a limited-access highway. “Growth along 316 is incredible,” Kemp said. “We need a safe, efficient expressway.” Work’s already underway at Hi Hope Road, with more interchanges and overpasses coming. But that’s not all. Kemp’s also pushing $1.8 billion for permanent express lanes on I-75 in Henry County to ease its infamous traffic jams. And homelessness? He’s proposing $50 million for grants to fund shelters, outreach, and mental health services. Big moves, big money—Kemp’s aiming to leave a mark. STORY 3: GCPS receives grant from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation Gwinnett County Public Schools just scored big—literally. Thanks to a $6.3 million grant from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation (with help from Atlanta United, the Falcons, and PGA TOUR Superstore), middle and high school sports are getting a major boost. What’s the plan? For starters, GCPS will add field lighting at six athletic fields, meaning weekday soccer games—no more cramming everything into Saturdays. Better lighting also means safer, more flexible practices and games. The grant will also fund girls’ flag football at 14 middle schools by 2026 and help cover costs for boys’ and girls’ soccer programs, especially in underserved areas. The Blank Foundation, founded by Home Depot co-founder Arthur Blank, has donated over $1.5 billion to causes that unite and uplift communities. This grant? Just another example of that mission in action. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles MarketsSTORY 4: Fox Theatre delivers chart-topping year The Fox Theatre had a banner year in 2025, racking up awards and accolades that cement its place as one of the most beloved venues in the country. From ticket sales to community impact, the recognition poured in. The biggest win? Being crowned IEBA’s 2025 Theatre of the Year—an honor that highlights excellence in programming, operations, and artist relations. “This reflects the strength of our team, the artists who grace our stage, and the audiences who keep showing up,” said CEO Allan Vella. The Fox also dominated year-end charts: No. 2 Highest Grossing Venue Worldwide (Billboard), No. 1 in ticket sales for its size (VenuesNow), and No. 6 globally for ticket sales (Pollstar). Locally, it snagged “Best of Atlanta” honors and a Reader’s Choice Award from the Atlanta Jewish Times. Even the leadership shined—Vella made Atlanta Magazine’s “Atlanta 100” and Billboard’s Touring Power Players list, while team members Rachel Bomeli and Faustina Brooks earned industry awards. The Fox isn’t just a theatre; it’s a cultural powerhouse. STORY 5: Johnson-Morgan named school board chair, Simmons is vice chair Gwinnett County’s school board is shuffling its leadership roles for 2026, but keeping familiar faces at the helm. Tarece Johnson-Morgan, last year’s vice chair, is stepping up as chairwoman, while Adrienne Simmons, who served as chair in 2025, will now take on the vice chair role. Both votes? Unanimous. Not everyone was thrilled, though. Board member Steve Knudsen voiced frustration that Steve Gasper or Rachel Stone weren’t considered for vice chair—but, notably, he didn’t nominate them during the vote. In other business, the board kept its attorney and legal organ the same, readopted policies, and adjusted a few meeting dates for the year. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Georgia Democratic lawmakers try to rein in ICE Georgia Senate Democrats took aim at the Trump administration Tuesday, introducing a flurry of bills targeting immigration enforcement and military deployments. They didn’t hold back, calling Trump’s administration a “rogue regime” and demanding state Republicans step up. One flashpoint? ICE. After an officer fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis last week, Sen. Josh McLaurin accused ICE of escalating violence. “We’ve all seen the video,” he said. “This isn’t what they’re trained to do.” McLaurin’s bill would let citizens sue ICE for civil rights violations. Other proposals include requiring judicial warrants for enforcement at sensitive locations (like schools and hospitals), mandating badges and unmasking ICE officers, and limiting National Guard deployments without the governor’s approval. Sen. Kim Jackson didn’t mince words: “If Georgia State Patrol can show their faces, so can ICE. It’s cowardice.” But Republicans, like Majority Leader Jason Anavitarte, dismissed the effort, saying, “The state can’t regulate the federal government.” STORY 7: Georgia GOP senators target Raffensperger over voter registration lists Georgia Republicans are turning up the heat on Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, demanding he hand over the state’s unredacted voter registration list to the Trump administration. But Raffensperger? He’s not budging. State law, he says, protects private voter info—Social Security numbers, birthdates, driver’s licenses. Sharing that? Not happening. The DOJ, meanwhile, has been pushing all 50 states for voter lists, claiming it’s about accuracy. They even sued Georgia last month. The resolution, led by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ allies, accuses Raffensperger of “obstruction.” But it’s mostly symbolic—no legal teeth. Raffensperger’s office fired back, saying they’ve already complied as far as the law allows. “He won’t risk identity theft for millions of voters,” the statement read. The DOJ’s lawsuit heads to federal court in Macon soon. Stay tuned.

True Crime Today brings you an exclusive behavioral analysis of Brendan Banfield from retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. Dreeke led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program and has spent over three decades reading people. His question for this case: does the prosecution's theory actually make behavioral sense?Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator — a federal agent who built cases for a living. Prosecutors say he used that expertise to plan an elaborate double murder: creating fake FetLife profiles, luring a stranger to his home, coordinating with his au pair mistress, staging the crime scene as self-defense. But if that's true, why did Banfield leave a framed photo of himself and Juliana on his nightstand for police to find? Why did he call 911 and give a detailed statement?Dreeke breaks down what deception looks like in real time — and whether Banfield's post-offense behavior fits the profile of a calculated killer. He examines the gun purchase prosecutors call premeditation. He analyzes the McDonald's detail where Banfield allegedly waited nearby. He explains what the 911 call should reveal about whether Banfield was telling the truth.The affair is central to the motive theory. But affairs happen constantly without murder. Dreeke identifies the escalation factors that would need to be present for someone to go from infidelity to allegedly orchestrating a double homicide — and whether they appear in this case.This is behavioral analysis you won't hear in the courtroom. Dreeke gives his expert read on what Brendan Banfield's actions actually tell us.#BrendanBanfield #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #ChristineBanfield #AuPairMurder #MurderTrial #Psychology #DeceptionJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Paul Caneiro is on trial for the 2018 quadruple murder of his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children — 11-year-old Jesse and 8-year-old Sophia — inside their million-dollar Colts Neck, New Jersey mansion. Prosecutors say greed drove Caneiro to slaughter his own family after Keith discovered he'd been stealing tens of thousands of dollars from their shared businesses. The most devastating detail: according to autopsy findings cited in a civil lawsuit, Sophia was stabbed 17 times across her 45-pound body and survived for approximately nine hours, dying of smoke inhalation after her uncle allegedly set the house on fire.The prosecution's evidence includes bloody clothing found in Paul's basement with DNA matching the children, a 9mm handgun, matching ammunition, and security footage showing Paul disconnecting his home cameras at 1:28 AM the night of the murders. Hours later, Paul's own house caught fire — prosecutors say he set it to create the "illusion" his entire family was being targeted.But the defense is pointing at someone else: Corey Caneiro, the third brother, who police never investigated and whose DNA was never collected. Corey stood to inherit $1.5 million from the same life insurance policy. A civil lawsuit alleges he took control of the insurance proceeds after the murders and bought a $1.8 million home less than a year later. He denies these allegations.Seven years after the murders, the trial is finally underway. Paul Caneiro faces life without parole if convicted.#PaulCaneiro #ColtsNeck #MansionMurders #TrueCrime #NewJersey #CanerioTrial #QuadrupleMurder #CourtTV #HiddenKillers #JusticeForSophiaJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're going LIVE with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke — former head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — for a deep dive into the psychology of Brendan Banfield. Does his behavior match a man who planned an elaborate double murder? Or does the prosecution's theory fall apart under behavioral scrutiny?Dreeke has spent 32 years reading people for a living. He's analyzed spies, criminals, and targets of federal investigations. Now he's turning that expertise on a case that's captivating the true crime world.Brendan Banfield was an IRS criminal investigator who allegedly orchestrated the murders of his wife Christine and Joseph Ryan with help from the family's au pair. But eight months after the killings, police found a framed photo of Brendan and Juliana on his nightstand. He called 911 and gave a detailed statement. He didn't flee. He didn't destroy evidence.Dreeke examines whether this behavior fits a calculated killer or whether prosecutors are building a narrative around actions that mean something else entirely. He breaks down the gun purchase, the range visits, the McDonald's detail, and what the 911 call should reveal about deception.We're taking your questions in real time. Drop them in the chat. If you want to understand what's really going on inside Brendan Banfield's head — according to someone who's made a career of figuring that out — this is the interview you need to watch.#BrendanBanfield #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillersLive #LIVE #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #AuPairMurder #TrueCrimeLive #Psychology #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The ex-husband of Monique Tepe has been arrested and charged with murdering her and her husband Spencer Tepe in their Columbus, Ohio home. Michael David McKee, 39, a vascular surgeon living in Chicago, was taken into custody Saturday in Rockford, Illinois, after detectives linked him to a vehicle captured on surveillance footage near the crime scene. Spencer Tepe, 37, a dentist, and Monique Tepe, 39, were found shot dead on December 30, 2025. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds; she was shot at least once in the chest. Three 9mm casings were found inside. No weapon was recovered. No forced entry. Their two children — a 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son — were found unharmed. McKee and Monique married in August 2015 and separated seven months later. Divorce documents reveal Monique listed both her engagement and wedding rings as "Separate Property" with the explanation "I paid." The separation agreement required her to reimburse McKee $1,281.59 with a 23% interest penalty. She filed for divorce citing incompatibility and paid for a private judge to speed things up. Eight years passed. She remarried. Had kids. Built a life. And then, allegedly, her ex-husband drove from Illinois and killed her and Spencer in the home where they'd exchanged vows. Police have not released a motive. McKee awaits extradition to Ohio.#TepeMurders #MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #ColumbusOhio #OhioMurder #ExHusbandCharged #WeinlandPark #DoubleHomicide #TrueCrimeTodayJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
