The Cold Murder of His Father: Do You Have Information? A Case That Still Haunts Los Angeles, California. More than a decade later, the killing of Joseph Gatto remains one of Los Angeles' most haunting unsolved crimes. The Home Invasion that took his life did not just devastate a Family, it reshaped the inner world of his son, former California lawmaker Mike Gatto, and pulled him into a dark, unresolved mystery that continues to demand answers. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Joseph Gatto was 78 years old, strong, active, and deeply woven into the fabric of his community. Friends believed he would live to be 100. Instead, he died 22 years too soon. Check out his Podcast appearance, and content shared for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. On November 12, 2013, Joseph Gatto was shot inside his Silver Lake Home, a neighborhood often described as one of the safest and most culturally vibrant areas of Los Angeles. The following day, his daughter, arrived for their weekly dinner and made a discovery no family should ever have to endure. After calling out his name, she found her father slumped over his desk on the third floor, dead from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Silver Lake, once described by Forbes as the “hippest” neighborhood in Los Angeles, is known for its art culture, creativity, and sense of community. Joseph loved it there. A retired art teacher, he had spent decades giving back, teaching high school and college students, selling concessions at Dodger Stadium at night, and creating art as a jewelry maker and author. In 1985, he helped found the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, where he led the visual arts department. The Cold Murder of His Father: Do You Have Information? A Case That Still Haunts Los Angeles, California. “He was prominent throughout the community and liked by everyone,” friends recalled. To many, the idea that he would be the victim of a violent crime was unthinkable. Yet investigators quickly determined Joseph Gatto had been killed during what appeared to be a Home Invasion robbery. There were no obvious signs of forced entry, but the house had been ransacked and a file cabinet breached. Police later said they were looking for a man seen breaking into cars in the area around the same time, suggesting the murder may have been linked to a local burglary spree. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Despite suspect sketches, extensive media coverage, and a $50,000 reward, the case stalled. Over time, it became what investigators now acknowledge as a cold case. The Cold Murder of His Father: Do You Have Information? “The murder of Joseph Gatto captivated Los Angeles,” said Robert Kovacik, anchor and reporter for NBC Los Angeles. “Many veteran journalists still wonder how and why it happened. The details of this horrible crime and those affected by it continue to fascinate.” At the time of the murder, Mike Gatto was an up-and-coming political figure, serving as a four-term member of the California Legislature representing Los Angeles. He chaired the powerful Appropriations Committee, served as Assistant Speaker, and authored several pieces of landmark legislation. Publicly, he was immersed in the world of politics. Privately, his life had been shattered. Mike Gatto has said he believes his father's killer is still out there. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. That belief, and the frustration of unanswered questions, pulled him into what he describes as the world of noir: wild theories, unyielding detectives, missed connections, and unimaginable violence. Friends, neighbors, and family members wanted justice. Detectives repeatedly told the public the case would be solved. As the years passed, those assurances faded. The impact of the crime eventually found its way onto the page. The Cold Murder of His Father. In his book, "Noir by Necessity: How My Father's Unsolved Murder Took Me to Dark Places", Gatto chronicles the investigation and its toll with unflinching honesty. The book reads like a thriller, but it is rooted in real grief, real clues, and a real system that, in this case, failed to deliver answers. “This is a modern murder mystery,” Gatto has said, “and a candid look at how the dark underbelly of Los Angeles collided with the political world.” The book details every lead, every theory, and every haunting detail Gatto uncovered as he tried to make sense of his father's death. It also explores the psychological cost of living with an unsolved crime, how it reshapes memory, trust, and one's understanding of justice. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. Today, the story continues to resonate far beyond Los Angeles. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where true crime audiences continue to ask the same question: Do You Have Information? That question is not rhetorical. Authorities have long maintained that someone knows something. Mike Gatto has continued to push for answers, keeping his father's case in the public eye and urging anyone with knowledge to come forward. The Family still waits for closure. The city still wonders how such a crime could happen in a place that felt so safe. The Cold Murder of His Father. A Case That Still Haunts Los Angeles, California. Joseph Gatto was more than a victim. He was a teacher, an artist, a founder, a father, and a fixture of his community. His death marked the violent intersection of crime, politics, and personal loss, one that forever altered the life of his son. The full interview is available Free on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube, and excerpts are being shared on Facebook and Instagram as part of a broader dialogue about incarceration, reentry, and personal responsibility. You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. More than a decade later, The Cold Murder of His Father remains unresolved. And until the truth comes Home, the mystery of Joseph Gatto's death continues to haunt Los Angeles.

It's Wednesday, January 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Mexican authorities expelled Protestant pastor Authorities in southern Mexico expelled a Protestant pastor from their community this month. The issue began after Pastor Velásquez Martínez refused to participate in a Roman Catholic ritual due to his religious beliefs. Local authorities detained him for five days without charge before expelling him and his family. Evangelical families can face arrest, fines, and expulsion in parts of Mexico for their faith. Mexico is ranked 30th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most oppressive countries to be a Christian.  Catholicism declining in Latin America Analysis by Pew Research found that Catholicism has declined in Latin America over the past decade. Catholicism remains the largest religion across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. However, it has declined in the region by at least nine percent over the last 10 years. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated have grown rapidly in Latin America. Protestantism has also grown in the region but only by a slight margin. United States withdrew from World Health Organization The United States officially withdrew from the World Health Organization last Thursday. This comes a year after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to initiate the process. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services stated, “This decision was driven by profound failures in the WHO's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic originating in Wuhan, China.” The withdrawal ends U.S. funding for the World Health Organization. The group is also known for its support of abortion and sexually perverted lifestyles. Thousands of California pro-lifers march Tens of thousands of pro-lifers joined the 22nd Annual Walk for Life West Coast in California on Saturday.  Participants filled the streets of San Francisco in the financial district for more than a mile. Rally co-chair Eva Muntean said, “After 22 years I still find it hard to believe how blessed we are. When I see the enormous crowd that we had today—especially so many young people standing up with love and hope for women and children. I am filled with gratitude and hope. You can't come to the Walk without seeing the promise of a better world!” Psalm 27:13-14 says, “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!” Washington man stabbed for being a Christian Sadly, a man suffered an attack over his religion on Sunday morning in Washington state. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office reports they found the man in serious condition. The victim said a stranger approached him and asked what religion he was. He said something about being a Christian. In response, the stranger attacked and stabbed the victim and his dog. The perpetrator died after a confrontation with police.  The Christian Post reports that the victim has been released from a local hospital.  U.S. population down as Trump expels illegals The U.S. population growth rate is slowing as the Trump administration cracks down on illegal immigration.  New data from the U.S. Census Bureau found the population reached nearly 342 million people last year. The 2025 growth rate was half a percent, down from almost one percent in 2024. Christine Hartley with the Census Bureau said, “With births and deaths remaining relatively stable compared to the prior year, the sharp decline in net international migration is the main reason for the slower growth rate we see today.” Geopolitical and economic uncertainly drives gold up. As The Worldview reported yesterday, the price for spot gold reached $5,100 an ounce, a record. That's up 18% so far this year. Ryan McIntyre, president at Sprott Inc., told Reuters, “Gold prices continue to be supported by elevated geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Central banks remain strong buyers as they diversify foreign exchange reserves and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.” 100-year-old great grandfather speaks at kindergarten class And finally, CBS News reports that a kindergartener in Georgia recently brought her 100-year-old great-grandfather to class. This was to celebrate K.J. Schmansky's 100th day of school this year at Saint Thomas More School in Decatur. Her great-grandfather, Sonny Ragan, was born on October 8, 1925. He got to share 100 years of wisdom with the young class. When asked what keeps him going, Ragan said it's faith and family. 1 Peter 3:10-11 says, “He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, January 28th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

The Pentagon said it consolidated policies around protecting American military facilities from drone threats after unclear guidance that left base commanders scrambling on how to respond and years of increased unmanned aerial system sightings over key Defense Department assets. Drone incursions over American military bases jumped considerably over the last several years, alarming officials, and a Pentagon watchdog report released last week said the DOD's confused policies meant some facilities in the U.S. couldn't adequately protect themselves. Following the release of the Defense Department Inspector General report last Tuesday, which noted dire gaps in military counter-UAS policy that limited base responses to drone threats, the Pentagon said it had already adjusted its guidelines last month in an effort to give commanders “expanded authority and flexibility needed to dominate the airspace above their installations.” Countering drones in the U.S. is complex and has been a yearslong, thorny problem for the military, especially as the tech becomes ubiquitous for both hobbyists and adversaries. Stateside drone defense means navigating a delicate balance between protecting military installations while avoiding civilian harm or infrastructure damage. But the issue is only growing, top military officials have said, and the new guidance is the latest attempt by the Pentagon to manage it. The policies, which the release said was signed on Dec. 8 by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, expanded base commanders' defensive area around facilities, explicitly identified any unauthorized drone surveillance over installations as a threat, allowed UAS sensor data sharing between other federal agencies and authorized top service leaders to designate facilities as “covered,” a special classification that allows for drone defense. With tax filing season officially gearing up, the Treasury Department's watchdog is warning the IRS that its workforce reductions and delays to modernization projects have left the tax agency in a precarious position. In a memo sent Monday to the IRS commissioner, Diana M. Tengesdal, deputy inspector general for audit, wrote that the agency's cuts have brought staffing back to October 2021 levels, prior to the Inflation Reduction Act funding infusion aimed at strengthening enforcement on wealthy individuals and corporations and modernizing antiquated IT systems. The loss of personnel has led to a backsliding on previous agency priorities, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration official noted, pointing specifically to a pandemic-created backlog of tax returns awaiting processing. The tax agency had made serious strides in addressing that backlog, TIGTA found in a September 2023 report, but Trump administration staff cuts combined with the recent government shutdown have led to inventory levels that are 129% higher than pre-pandemic figures. “Inventory that is not worked during the current processing year will be carried into the 2026 Filing Season and may affect the IRS's ability to timely process tax returns during the filing season, especially with reduced staff,” Tengesdal wrote. “This could result in delays in taxpayers receiving refunds and could result in the IRS paying interest,” she continued.

January 25th. Acts 22:22-23:11, 1 Timothy 2:1-7, Romans 13:1-7.

Emmy winning actor and director Timothy Busfield is facing serious criminal charges in New Mexico following allegations involving two child actors he worked with on the Fox series The Cleaning Lady. Prosecutors have charged Busfield with two counts of criminal sexual misconduct against a minor and one count of child abuse. He has denied all allegations and maintains his innocence.According to court documents, investigators allege Busfield encouraged the twins to call him Uncle Tim, gave them gifts, and spent time with their family outside of filming. Prosecutors say he used moments of confusion on set to isolate the boys. One child reportedly disclosed that inappropriate contact began when he was seven years old, describing incidents that allegedly occurred on a bedroom set after filming paused. The second twin reported similar discomfort but said he did not speak up at the time.Authorities cite therapy notes, medical evaluations, behavioral changes, and witness statements as part of the evidence supporting the charges. Prosecutors have also referenced prior allegations spanning decades, though none previously resulted in criminal convictions.Busfield surrendered to authorities in January 2026 and was ordered held without bail. His defense team says the accusations are retaliatory after the children were written out of the show and claims he passed an independent polygraph test.As the case moves forward, the court will decide whether the evidence supports the charges. Until then, the allegations remain unproven, and the outcome could have major implications for accountability and child safety in the entertainment industry.

In the early hours of New Year's Day, a blaze erupted at Le Constellation, a popular bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, killing 40 young people and injuring more than 100 others. Authorities believe the fire started when embers from sparklers ignited foam soundproofing material on the ceiling. It is latest in a long line of eerily similar deadly fires in nightclubs involving pyrotechnics. Why do we keep repeating the same mistakes? Today on the podcast, you will hear a powerful conversation with two survivors of The Station nightclub fire, one of the deadliest nightclub fires in U.S. history. They talk with two prominent fire safety and burn advocates about their emotional reaction to Le Constellation, and what it was like to live through and recover from a similar tragedy. Then, the group discusses why these lessons are so hard to learn, and what we can all collectively do to help stop these fires from happening. This conversation first aired on Girls with Grafts, a burn survivor's podcast published by the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors.

Other exports, including Canadian canola meal, lobsters, crabs, and peas will also not be subject to Chinese anti-discrimination tariffs until at least the end of 2026. A week later, Carney told the global elite at Davos resort that the “rules-based order” established by the United States and its allies following WW2 was fraying amid the current rivalry between China and America, so the “middle powers must act together because if we’re not on the table, we’re on the menu.”  Carney said that for their survival, nations should no longer “go along to get along” with Trump.   Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada has “no intention” of pursuing a free trade deal with China, after Donald Trump threatened to slap a 100% tariff on Canadian exports if Ottawa “makes a deal” with Beijing.   Source: zerohedge.com Trump Is Right About Europe's Weak Economy: U.S. vs. EU Compared  President Trump argued that Europe's economic stagnation is the result of a self-inflicted “civilizational erasure” driven by reliance on what he calls the “Green New Scam,” which he says has replaced affordable energy with costly and unreliable wind power. He further asserted that unchecked mass migration has strained social infrastructure and altered the continent's cultural identity, while a stifling regulatory environment and excessive government spending have suppressed the innovation needed to compete with the United States. Finally, he accused European nations of freeloading on American security, arguing that their failure to meet NATO defense spending targets over the past 70 years has allowed them to avoid the true costs of national sovereignty at the expense of the American taxpayer. Based on current economic data as of January 2026, the comparison supports Trump's critique. While the United States is experiencing aggressive growth alongside widespread deregulation, Europe remains mired in what can best be described as stabilized stagnation. The United States enters 2026 with inflation at 2.7%, steadily returning toward the 2% target. As in President Trump's first term, strong GDP growth has been paired with relatively modest inflation. Fourth-quarter GDP growth is projected at 5.4%, dwarfing Europe's stagnant 0.2%. For the full year, U.S. growth is expected to reach between 4.3% and 5%, while Europe is projected to manage only about 1.3% to 1.6%. On the labor front, the United States maintains its historical advantage, with unemployment at 4.4% compared to 6.3% in the Eurozone. This low level of unemployment has been achieved despite deep government job cuts that reduced taxpayer costs. While the United States reduced federal spending by $100 billion, European fiscal policy has moved in the opposite direction. The U.S. has moved 1.2 million people off food stamps, while European social safety nets are coming under increased strain from rising living costs. In 2024, the most recent data available, EU social protection spending rose by 7%, far outpacing nominal GDP growth. This imbalance pushed the social expenditure-to-GDP ratio to 27.3% across the bloc, with countries such as France and Austria exceeding 31%, reinforcing the strain caused by rising demand for social welfare. Energy remains far cheaper in the United States, particularly electricity and natural gas, due to abundant domestic production, lower taxes and levies, and reduced reliance on imports, with overall prices about half of Europe's and industrial electricity often as little as one-third.

More LNG, more U.S. gas, more renewables… Higher costs baked in. For Brussels this is an irreversible line. After 2027, there's no “going back to normal.” The EU has indeed been importing refined petroleum products from India that originate from Russian crude oil, creating an indirect pathway for Russian oil to enter the European market despite sanctions on direct imports from Russia since December 2022.  This circumvention became prominent after the EU and G7 imposed a price cap on Russian oil, prompting Russia to redirect exports to countries like India and China, where the crude is refined and then resold.    EU officials and analysts have long acknowledged the loophole, which is why recent sanctions packages have targeted it directly. For instance, the EU’s 18th sanctions package in July 2025 banned the import of petroleum products derived from Russian crude processed in third countries, and specifically sanctioned Nayara Energy, an Indian refinery partly owned by Russia’s Rosneft.  The 19th package in October 2025 further tightened measures by sanctioning additional third-country entities, including three in India, for supporting Russia’s circumvention efforts. As a result, major Indian refiners like Reliance Industries have stopped importing Russian crude for certain facilities to comply with these rules and maintain access to EU markets. Russia, meanwhile, continues to adapt by using new middlemen exporters to supply India, aiming to sustain the flow despite the crackdown.  India has not fully stopped importing Russian oil since then, but imports have significantly declined. In 2025, Russia’s share of India’s crude oil imports fell to 33.3% from 36% the previous year, while OPEC’s share rose slightly to 50%.  By December 2025, India dropped to the third-largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels overall, importing €2.3 billion worth that month, with major refiners like Reliance Industries scaling back or halting purchases.    This reduction appears driven by a mix of U.S. tariff pressures, steeper discounts on Russian crude drawing buyers back selectively, and India’s strategic diversification to ensure energy security without fully alienating Russia—a key defense and trade partner. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2015527595975033161?s=20   the CMC Joint Staff Dept: Under investigation for violations 5.

This drive is officially framed as rooting out graft, bribery, and disciplinary violations, but analysts widely interpret it as a mechanism for Xi to consolidate power, enforce unwavering loyalty among military leaders, and address systemic issues like incompetence or factional rivalries that could undermine PLA readiness.  The campaign has intensified in 2025-2026, affecting nearly the entire top echelon of the CMC—China’s highest military decision-making body, chaired by Xi himself—leaving it in significant disarray  War/Peace Report: Iran's Khamenei Flees to ‘Fortified' Bunker, Fearing U.S. Strike Following rising concerns over a possible U.S. military strike, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has relocated to a heavily fortified underground compound in Tehran, according to reports, which cited sources close to the regime who revealed his son now oversees day-to-day operations.

Max talks with Rob Mark about a classic "simple mistake with big consequences" scenario: a pilot who possibly raised the landing gear handle instead of selecting flaps up during the landing roll in a Cirrus Vision Jet. The event looks minor on the surface—no injuries and the airplane stayed on the runway—but it exposes a human-factors trap that can bite any retractable-gear pilot, especially when you're trying to be quick and efficient right after touchdown. The discussion centers on the NTSB's final report for a Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet that landed at Watsonville Municipal Airport (Watsonville, California) on August 9, 2024. The pilot reported a normal approach and landing. Before touchdown, he had the flaps set to 100% and saw three green landing gear indications. Touchdown itself was uneventful. But during the landing roll—right about when braking began—the nose landing gear collapsed. Max and Rob walk through what the data showed. On short final, the airplane was properly configured: flaps at 100% and the landing gear down and locked. During rollout, both weight-on-wheels switches were briefly "unloaded," and the landing gear handle was raised and then lowered. That sequence unlocked the nose gear and allowed it to collapse. The main gear also unlocked, but it re-locked before collapsing. The probable cause boiled down to an inadvertent control selection: the pilot likely moved the gear handle instead of selecting the flap switch to 0%. From there, they unpack why this kind of error is so believable. The flap selector switch sits below the landing gear handle, and many pilots develop a post-touchdown habit of "cleaning up" quickly. Some of that comes from short-field technique: retracting flaps can put more weight on the wheels, increase braking effectiveness, and reduce stopping distance. But the exact moment you're tempted to do it is also the moment you have the least spare attention. You're still fast, directional control still matters, braking is being modulated, and you're managing the transition from flight to rollout. Add fatigue, distraction, or a slightly different cockpit flow than usual, and a wrong-control grab becomes completely plausible. A big takeaway is that landing isn't over at touchdown. Many pilots subconsciously relax as soon as the mains touch, as if the hard part is done. In reality, the landing roll is when you still have a lot of kinetic energy and limited margin for distraction. Looking down, changing configuration, or reaching for cockpit controls before you're stabilized is how small errors turn into big repair bills. Max and Rob emphasize that "post-landing tasks" are optional until the airplane is clearly under control and slowing. So what should pilots do differently? Their answer is intentionally boring: slow the flow down. On most runways there is no operational need to rush flap retraction during rollout. Keep your eyes outside, keep the airplane tracking straight, and let speed decay. If you choose to retract flaps on rollout, treat it like a checklist item, not a reflex. Touch the correct control deliberately, verify what you're touching, and use a short verbal callout ("flaps zero") before you move it. Better yet, tie configuration changes to safer triggers—below taxi speed, after exiting the runway, or after stopping and running the after-landing checklist—so you're not doing "extra tasks" while still managing high speed and directional control. They also discuss building habits that are resistant to error. If your technique is "as soon as I touch down, I do X," you're training your hands to move before your brain has finished verifying the right target. Replace that with a pause that forces confirmation, or a flow that keeps critical controls physically and mentally separated in time. The goal isn't to be fast; it's to be consistent and correct.

On Today's Show: To Support And Subscribe: https://thehotshotwakeup.substack.com/Authorities in Chile have arrested four suspects in connection with the current wildfires that have destroyed entire towns and led to 21 confirmed fatalities. One of the fires was said to have been started in a Eucaliptis grove, an industrial timber farm. The timber industry in Chile is massive, and timber products are the 2nd largest export for the country. There has been long standing tension between the indigenous populations and the current government over these large timber operations. Both sides have been using the wildfire narrative as a form of protest and as a reason for a crackdown. Zeke Lunder joins me for a conversation about these recent fires and the history behind these long time tensions. It's not a cut and dry issue, and there is a lot to discuss.

In a shocking twist to one of the year's most closely watched legal battles, Kate Whiteman — the first woman to legally accuse the Alexander brothers of SA — has been found dead in Australia just weeks before the high-stakes federal trial is set to begin. Authorities in New South Wales have ruled her death “non-suspicious,” but the timing has reignited nationwide media attention and public scrutiny. Whiteman's lawsuit, filed in March 2024, was the catalyst for dozens of additional claims from women across New York, Florida, California and beyond, accusing the wealthy real estate siblings of drugging, coercing and assaulting them over more than a decade. Now, as jury selection opens this month in Manhattan, prosecutors are moving forward with some of the most serious federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges seen in years — charges that could put the Alexander brothers behind bars for life. The Alexander brothers — Oren, Alon, and Tal Alexander — are accused in a sweeping federal indictment that alleges a long-running scheme to exploit women using their wealth, influence and luxury lifestyle.Support the show & be a part of #STSNation:Donate to STS' Trial Travel: Https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/GJ...VENMO: @STSPodcast or Https://www.venmo.com/stspodcastCheck out STS Merch: Https://www.bonfire.com/store/sts-store/Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorEmail: SurvivingTheSurvivor@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed notice that it's appealing a judge's order setting limits on federal agents' actions against protesters in Minnesota. U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez late last week ordered agents involved in the immigration crackdown in Minnesota to not detain or arrest protesters or observers, unless there's reasonable suspicion or probable cause of a crime. The order also bars agents from using nonlethal munitions on peaceful protesters and bars them from stopping drivers who follow ICE to monitor operations.State Sen. John Hoffman is preparing for Minnesota's next legislative session and running for a new term. Hoffman was shot in a June attack on him and his wife at their home. Authorities say the same gunman killed Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband. But Hoffman won't retreat from public life. He has reemerged for speaking engagements. He will soon preside over Senate committee hearings.

When something truly unusual happens, authorities are trained to document it, explain it, and close the case. However, there are some very odd things that happen in this world when that process completely breaks down and when it does, well the records do officially exist, but what's missing is the explanation.

When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019, law enforcement seized mountains of evidence from his Manhattan townhouse and his estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands—including hard drives, CDs, labeled binders, photographs, surveillance footage, and detailed logs. These weren't just random items; many were explicitly marked with names and dates, suggesting a cataloging system designed to track interactions with specific individuals. The New York mansion alone had a safe full of disks labeled with things like “Young [Name] + [Name],” indicating potentially explosive material tied to Epstein's trafficking operation. Authorities also recovered surveillance equipment, raising the possibility that Epstein had been secretly recording his high-profile guests for leverage.And yet, years later, the public is still being told that there are “no files,” no names, and nothing more to investigate. How is that possible? What happened to the contents of those safes and hard drives? Why has none of it been released, indicted, or even seriously pursued in public view? The glaring disconnect between the overwhelming volume of material seized and the deafening silence about what it contained reeks of institutional cover-up.And the longer we're told it doesn't exist, the more obvious it becomes that the system isn't broken.

John-Paul Miller appeared in federal court and pleaded not guilty to charges that he cyberstalked his estranged wife Mica Miller and lied to FBI investigators. The former Solid Rock Church pastor now wears an ankle monitor and faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.More than 70 people packed the Florence, South Carolina courtroom. Prosecutors argued Miller is a flight risk and a danger to the community. The judge set bond at $100,000 with strict conditions: ankle monitor, no contact with victims or witnesses, surrender his passport, no firearms, no excessive alcohol. When the hearing ended, Miller slipped out a back door while his attorneys addressed the crowd.The federal indictment details a pattern of alleged harassment spanning November 2022 through April 27, 2024 — the day Mica died. Prosecutors say Miller placed tracking devices on her vehicle, contacted her more than 50 times in a single day, interfered with her finances, posted a nude photograph of her online, and damaged her tires. When the FBI asked him about the tire damage, he denied it — but investigators had receipts showing he'd purchased a tire deflation device online.Mica Miller was 30 years old when she died at Lumber River State Park in North Carolina. She had served JP divorce papers just two days earlier. Authorities ruled her death a suicide, but the circumstances have fueled national outrage and an ongoing federal investigation.This case also connects to another death. Chris Skinner, a quadriplegic Army veteran, drowned in a Myrtle Beach pool on Labor Day 2021. His widow Suzie is now married to JP Miller. According to a sworn affidavit, Chris confronted JP about an alleged affair with his wife just two weeks before he drowned.We break down what happened in court, what these charges mean, and what's next.#JPMiller #MicaMiller #JusticeForMica #ChrisSkinner #TrueCrimeToday #FederalCharges #Cyberstalking #MyrtleBeach #SolidRockChurch #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's Tuesday, January 13th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Venezuelan authorities release 800 pastors and others from prison Over 800 pastors and other so-called political prisoners were released from Venezuelan jails over the weekend.  Psalm 68:1-3 declares, “Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered. Let those also who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.” 3 pastors released from Nicaraguan prisons And, also, at least three pastors have been released from Nicaraguan prisons. That includes Pastor Rudy Palacios Vargas, the founder of La Roca de Nicaragua Church Association, his sister, two brothers-in-law, a member of the church worship team and a family friend. They were part of a block of 20 political prisoners released over the weekend, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide. Noteworthy however was this: Another pastor, serving 23 years on false charges, was not among those released. Efrén Antonio Vílchez López was arrested when he condemned the government's treatment of protesters in 2018. 540 protestors killed by Iranian authorities The body count is ratcheting up in the anti-government protests continuing across Iran. As of Monday, at least 540 people have died, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency.  The protests have hit 585 locations across the country in 186 cities located in 31 provinces. These casualties rival the Black Friday revolution of 1978 in Iran where at least 500 died in the turmoil. Iranian government blocks satellite signals into country Today marks the fourth day of government shutdown of the internet across Iran — including a military grade level block of Elon Musk's Starlink system. The SpaceX organization has received authorization to double the number of Starlink satellites in orbit to 15,000. Already, Starlink commands 66% of active satellites orbiting Earth. Bible sales up in United Kingdom This in from the United Kingdom. Premier Christian News announced that Bible sales have doubled since 2019, with a 28% surge in just the last year.  Sam Richardson, CEO of the Christian publisher SPCK Group, explained that “[The Bible sales] are evidence of a significant cultural shift regarding matters of faith and religion in this country.” Isaiah 40:8 says, “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” Trump wants Greenland President Donald Trump is serious about including Greenland under American holdings. He announced that “We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not. I would like to make a deal.  … If we don't do it the easy way, we're going to do it the hard way." The Danish prime minister, Mette Frederickson, responded over the weekend. He said this would mean the collapse of NATO.  Trump vs. Fed Chair Jerome Powell The battle between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve Board has heated up.   The Trump Justice Department has issued grand jury summons and threatened Chairman Jerome Powell with a criminal indictment relating to the scope of the Fed's ongoing renovation project.   Mr. Powell published a video over the weekend on the matter: In his words, “This [legal proceeding] is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.” POWELL: “This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role. The Fed through testimony and other public disclosures made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public.” Supreme Court examines transgender issue The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments today on whether states should be able to ban men, pretending to be women, from participating in female sports. The Idaho and West Virginia laws under scrutiny are concerned with regulating public school sports — not private school sports. The transgender lobby wants to apply Title IX to the matter.  Almost double Gen Zers converted to Christ vs. Millennials And finally, some good news on the Gen Z generation from Pew Research,  but only moderately so.   Pew Research has some recent numbers, comparing Gen Z with the Millennial group 10 years ago. Three percent of Millennials converted to Christianity and 5% of Gen Z'ers say the same thing. Plus, 31% of Millennials raised in the Christian faith left the faith. And 26% of Gen Z'ers raised in the Christian faith have left the faith. In addition, 42% of Millennials remain Christian while 41% of Gen Z'ers remain Christians. All that to say -- the bloodletting in the generational faith retrograde continues, but there has been a slight correction for the youngest adult population.

A SON'S BETRAYAL Colleague Tanya Branigan. This file recounts the tragic story of Zhang Hongbing, who, as a teenager in 1970, denounced his own mother to the authorities. His mother, Fang Zhongmou, was executed after Zhangand his father reported her for criticizing Mao at home. Decades later, Zhang lives with profound guilt, feeling that his mother "never answers" his attempts to communicate. He took Branigan to his mother's grave, located in a construction site and under threat of removal. The story illustrates how the era's political zealotry destroyed family bonds and left survivors with unmanageable burdens of guilt. TANYA BRANIGAN NUMBER 71965 SHANGHAI

An arrest has been made in the shocking double homicide of Columbus, Ohio couple Spencer Tepe and Monique Tepe. Authorities have taken Michael McKee, Monique's ex-husband, into custody in connection with the murders that stunned the community and left two young children without their parents. In this live episode of Police Off The Cuff, retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon breaks down the arrest, the investigative steps that led detectives to Michael McKee, and what law enforcement likely uncovered behind the scenes. We examine the timeline, surveillance evidence, vehicle tracking, interstate coordination, and why investigators zeroed in on McKee after weeks of unanswered questions. This case highlights how modern homicide investigations use digital evidence, witness canvassing, and behavioral analysis to identify suspects — even when no arrest is made immediately. We also discuss what comes next legally, including extradition, court proceedings, and potential additional charges as prosecutors review the evidence. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Authorities announced the arrest of Michael McGee, the ex-husband of Monique Tepe, in connection with the double homicide of Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. According to investigators, McGee was taken into custody following the development of new evidence that police say links him to the killings, marking a major turning point in an investigation that had initially yielded few public details. Prosecutors have emphasized that the case remains active and ongoing, noting that the arrest reflects probable cause to proceed with charges, while all allegations will ultimately be tested in court as the legal process moves forward. Tonight, we're breaking down a major development in the brutal double homicide of Spencer Tepe and Monique Tepe. After weeks of silence, speculation, and unanswered questions, the Columbus Police Department has now secured an arrest warrant in this case. The warrant names Monique Tepe's ex-husband, Michael David McGee. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
