In breaking news, a Federal Judge has ordered that Pam Bondi explain what she meant by having the “Epstein Client List” on her desk and explain where those documents are, finding insufficient a new sworn statement by the Trump Administration that there is no such list despite Bondi telling the public that there is one and she had it on her desk. Popok reports on a suit by independent journalist Jimmy Tobias that is roasting the DOJ and Pam Bondi just before she steps into House and Senate oversight hearings next week.

This week’s episode is inspired by Homeland Security immigration attorney Julie Li who let it all hang out at a Minneapolis immigration hearing, telling the judge “The system sucks. This job sucks. I wish you could hold me in contempt so that I could get 24 hours of sleep.” On our radar this week… This week in Trump includes: Claims that the latest partial release of the Epstein files exonerates him … it doesn't. His name appears 38,000 times, including allegations involving 13- and 14-year-old girls. A demand for a federal takeover of elections in democratic areas of swing states, including Detroit … accompanied by a declaration from Steve Bannon that ICE will be used to enforce Trump's will Ordering the seizure of Georgia 2020 voting files from a county he lost, and assigning his Director of National Security to lead the new attack on the 2020 election. Filing a $10-billion lawsuit against the IRS (and effectively himself) for leaks of his tax returns during his first term, tax returns he often promised to release voluntarily. The ultimate decision on whether the IRS settles and pays up will be made by … Trump. Deciding to close the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts for 2 years as artists continued to cancel performances. Announcing plans for a White House statue honoring Christopher Columbus, an explorer who ended up landing in the wrong continent. Making it known he wants Dulles Airport and New York City's Penn Station renamed in his honor. Reposting an AI video that includes a shot depicting the Obamas as apes, something that even Trump-loving GOP Senator Tim Scott (the Senate's only black Republican) called “the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House” Bailing from attending the Super Bowl, after aides reportedly warned him he's get booed even more than he was at the Lions-Packers game. Elsewhere in the District of Crazy: The Washington Post, long considered one of the nation's most important newspapers, is being gutted by Jeff Bezos to save money. (Jeff's net worth is around a quarter-of-a-trillion dollars, and he recently launched his $500-million yacht, and spent $75-million on the Melania disaster.) 30% of reporters are being fired. The paper's masthead reads “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” Jeff Bezos just dimmed the light. Senator Elissa Slotkin has told the FBI and Department of Justice to take their requests for an interview and shove it. They want to talk about the video in which she reminds military personnel they should not and cannot obey illegal orders. She's thinking about suing them. With Trump's economy sagging, Ford car sales are down and GM is warning of slowing sales. So much for the promise of a manufacturing rebirth in the “hottest economy on the planet.” In Michigan politics, the stage is set for a special election on May 5th that will decide control of the state Senate. It's a Marine Corps veteran slash firefighter for the Dems against a Republican lawyer. The field continues to clear for Lt. Governor Garland Gilchrist in the Democratic race for Secretary of State, with former state Senator Adam Hollier the latest to drop out of the race. Attorney General Nessel has rolled out a new “Immigration Action Reporting Form” urging residents to document ICE and Border Patrol activity while warning that some federal immigration operations are endangering people in Michigan. A Republican-aligned group says it has enough signatures to get a voter-suppression constitutional amendment on the state ballot. The proposal would require providing proof of citizenship to register to vote – something hundreds-of-thousands don't have.   We’re now on YouTube every week! Click here to subscribe.

There is nothing unclear about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, and anyone pretending otherwise is not confused, they are cowardly. The files are explicit and repetitive, documenting a system of abuse built on recruitment, payment, silence, and protection, not isolated misconduct. Minimization does not require denial, only dilution: urging people to “move on,” reframing accountability as obsession, or shaming anger as irrational. That behavior slows momentum, protects power, and preserves the same structures that shielded Epstein for decades. Many doing this now once demanded transparency and justice, but their courage vanished when accountability threatened their own political tribe. The facts did not change; their loyalties did. This is surrender disguised as restraint, and it actively enables a predator's legacy.What makes this especially vile is the erasure of victims in real time. Former advocates don't dispute the evidence; they simply stop amplifying it, redirect attention, and fall silent when pressure appears. That silence is tactical, and it mirrors the discretion Epstein relied on to operate. Anger and disgust are not excess here—they are the appropriate response to industrialized abuse and institutional failure. Claims that continued scrutiny “helps Epstein” invert reality; silence, deference, and respectability helped him, while exposure damaged him. Ending scrutiny protects enablers, not survivors. This moment is a moral sorting: comfort versus courage, tribe versus truth. Those minimizing the record are not being nuanced—they are enabling abuse, even now, even after death.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this February 5 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior focus on how the latest Epstein-related document drops are being actively misread and weaponized online. The discussion centers on the widespread confusion between contact lists, flight logs, testimony, and evidence, and how names appearing in documents are being falsely treated as proof of crimes. The hosts spend significant time addressing claims tied to witness protection, sealed records, and why assumptions about who is protected, who is exposed, and why certain material remains classified are being made without substantiation. They also break down how influencers and media figures are accelerating these errors, creating a feedback loop of outrage, retractions, and credibility damage. Throughout the episode, CannCon and Alpha Warrior stress the legal distinctions being ignored, the danger of crowdsourced investigations driven by emotion, and why this moment is testing whether alternative media can apply the same standards of restraint they demand from legacy outlets.

An active investigation into the death of 14-year-old Celeste Hernandez has left the public with a timeline, a Tesla, and an extensive list of unanswered question. In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum is joined by journalist Lauren Conlin to review what has been said publicly about Celeste’s initial classification as a runaway, her connections to older individuals, and why the continued absence of a named person of interest raises concern. They turn to the arrest of actor/director Timothy Busfield and discuss what can and cannot be concluded from selective “evidence” releases, how credibility gets weaponized in public, and why child abuse allegations demand careful, methodical evaluation rather than internet verdicts. Highlights: • (0:00) Sheryl McCollum opens the episode on the death of Celeste Hernandez and why the case is “driving her crazy” • (1:30) Lauren Conlin’s case status framing: no official person of interest, grand jury activity, and what “imminent indictment” does and does not mean • (3:00) Celeste’s runaway classification, age, and how early labels can shape urgency, resources, and risk • (7:15) Behavior after the discovery: canceled tour, transferred home ownership, legal strategy, and public silence • (10:00) Publicity economics: spikes in streams/downloads and the reality of scandal- driven attention • (15:15) Homicide indicator vs. Evidentiary barriers when decomposition complicates cause-of-death determinations • (17:45) Tesla cameras, event data, and why Sheryl expects a digital trail around movement and access • (21:45) Why runaway youth are at elevated risk and how dependency becomes leverage for exploitation • (27:00) Timothy Busfield: prior allegations and the optics of how he presented himself • (29:15) The alleged history patterns, witness context, and credibility disputes around the parents • (33:00) “Tickling to me does not absolve you from being a pervert.” • (36:00) Predatory access: why being near adults does not guarantee safety and how abuse can occur quickly and covertly • (39:15) Sheryl and Lauren address recantation, selective interview clips, and why child abuse cases require restraint, context, and patience before judgment Guest Bio: Lauren Conlin is a New York-based journalist covering true crime and high-profile investigations.

Among other things, officials have claimed certain groups of people don't get the condition and that taking Tylenol while pregnant causes autism to later develop in children.

What happens when activists decide they are the police?

Senator Lindsey Graham is everywhere on TV promoting a bill he claims would end sanctuary cities and jail officials who obstruct federal immigration enforcement. But Tara isn't buying it.

What happens when the police stop responding — and activists take over the streets? Tara breaks down shocking footage out of Minneapolis showing alleged vigilante roadblocks, ID checks, and license plate scans carried out by Antifa-aligned groups while emergency calls go unanswered. She's joined by Rep. Nancy Mace to discuss escalating political violence, ignored death threats, and a justice system that many conservatives believe has stopped protecting them.

Season 8 - Burn Book Entry January 2026 Name: Agnes Sign: Virgo Craft: Folk magic, curse-adjacent Notes: Stole my familiar. Claims she “doesn't hex anymore", but that's a lie. Bad vibes. Would not circle cast with again. — This week on Witch, Yes!, we are slowly, intentionally, and with full eye contact, cracking open the collective burn book of history to discuss witchy beefs. The rivalries. The feuds. The cheek, the nerve, the audacity, the gall, and the gumption! From pamphlet wars and public accusations to coven fallouts and spiritual power struggles, we're serving a deep dive into the drama and asking the real question: when magic meets mess, who's getting the bad edit? Consider this episode a loving reminder that enlightenment doesn't stop you from throwing shade, and history? Oh, history always remembers the read. Light a candle. Ward your circle. And remember: some names end up in the Book of Shadows… others end up in the burn book.

Hosted by Tara, this wide-ranging and explosive episode connects dots the media refuses to touch. From Peter Schweizer's bombshell book The Invisible Coup to shocking claims about birth tourism in Saipan, Tara breaks down allegations that U.S. birthright citizenship policies were exploited to create a future foreign-influenced voting bloc—all hidden behind loopholes and ignored statistics. The conversation then pivots to ICE enforcement failures, the Alex Preti case, and why under-policing—not over-policing—has led to deadly consequences. Drawing on analysis from journalist Michael Schellenberger and attorney Andrew Branca, Tara explains how failure to enforce 18 U.S.C. §111 has emboldened activists to obstruct, assault, and intimidate federal officers. The episode closes with questions of selective justice, political immunity, DHS funding failures, and eye-raising financial disclosures—asking one central question:

This isn't theory, belief, or remote viewing. It's a repeatable, teachable experience of what most of the world has only speculated about. It is accessing where we go after we die, the "other side"—and from there, witnessing the truth of "this" reality. However, Out-of-Body Experience (OBE) is just the beginning. What Darius brings goes far beyond altered states. He holds the core knowledge humanity has forgotten: who we are, where we come from, why we are here, why the world appears broken, and how we are restoring it and ourselves. In a world addicted to diagnosis, Darius is holding the solutions. Over the last few years, he's taught thousands how to reach these states, document their experiences, and reconnect to the part of themselves that institutions—religious, scientific, military, and governmental—have worked to suppress.

2. Minneapolis Situation & ICE Confrontations A. Escalating Conflict Recent fatal confrontations between civilians and ICE agents in Minneapolis. Two individuals (not known to be violent criminals) have been killed during encounters. Host urges toning down rhetoric from both political sides to prevent further escalation. B. Comparison Between Texas and Minnesota Texas sees far more ICE arrests but fewer violent confrontations. Reasons suggested: Texas law enforcement cooperates with ICE. Minnesota politicians (governor/mayor) allegedly encourage public confrontation with ICE. C. Violent Protest Structure Minneapolis protests are organized, funded, and oper­ated similarly to military groups. Reports mentioned: Surveillance operations against law enforcement Protesters allegedly sabotaging vehicles and physically attacking officers Autonomous‑zone style barricades forming in some areas 3. Responsibility & Advice Regarding Police Encounters Do not escalate encounters with law enforcement. Entering a protest with a firearm greatly increases danger for everyone involved. Legal principles discussed: Lethal force is justified if officers reasonably believe there is a threat. Officers cannot shoot fleeing suspects unless they pose serious immediate danger. 4. Media Narratives & Political Messaging A. Suburban Women as Target Audience Democrats viewed as shaping narratives (e.g., “ICE shoots mother of three,” “ICE detains 5‑year‑old”) to emotionally influence suburban voters. Hosts argue some widely publicized stories were misleading or false. B. Claims of Political Motives Democrats are using these incidents to distract from: A major Minnesota fraud scandal involving billions of dollars. Each new confrontation diverts media attention from that scandal. 5. Anticipated Government Shutdown A. Democrat Position Multiple Democratic leaders publicly oppose funding DHS/ICE at current levels. Statements from Senators (Schumer, Warren, Murphy) emphasize refusal to pass DHS funding bill without ICE restrictions. B. Hosts’ Conclusion They expect a government shutdown, driven by attempts to: Defund or weaken ICE Appeal to progressive voters Control political narrative ahead of elections Shutdown would affect agencies not yet funded (e.g., Defense, Labor, Education, HHS, HUD, DHS).
