AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that objections to Trump's policies on enforcement have caused a wave of prosecutorial resignations in several states, particularly Minnesota.

This episode started as an anthology. Three seemingly connected cases told together. Then I got into this case and realized, as usual, there was much more there than it seemed. Shellie Szabo was just a teenager when she was murdered. In her young years, she had been trafficked into sex work, had lost a child, and was struggling to get her life back on track. Her killer was caught, but was justice served? And did he learn his lesson?

Michael McKee is charged with murdering his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer. Surveillance footage allegedly shows his car near the scene. A firearm from his Chicago condo matched through national ballistics databases. Witnesses say Monique told them he'd threatened her for years—that he could "kill her at any time," that she'd "always be his wife." His phone went silent during the killings. Everyone already thinks he's guilty.Defense attorney Bob Motta asks the questions nobody else wants to ask. That surveillance footage everyone's treating as a smoking gun—how reliable is it really? The hearsay testimony from friends—Monique's not alive to testify. Can prosecutors even use it? The phone going dark sounds damning, but Bob explains what juries don't hear about digital evidence.Then there's the psychology of the not guilty plea. McKee waived extradition immediately and his bail hearing while reserving future rights. Most people think that signals defeat. Forensic experts see something else—what they call the "game player." Defendants who view prosecution as competition rather than consequence. The same pattern seen in Scott Peterson, Chris Watts, Ted Bundy. Men facing overwhelming evidence who refused to fold.The same detachment that allows someone to treat a murder trial as an intellectual exercise may be the same detachment that allows them to commit the act. For the game player, other people aren't fully real. They're pieces on a board. The trial isn't punishment—it's the championship round.This is an aggravated murder charge. Prosecutors must prove premeditation—not just that he did it, but that he planned it. Eight years passed between the divorce and the murders. Bob Motta explains why that timeline works for the defense as much as the prosecution.McKee has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #BobMotta #DefenseAttorney #AggravatedMurder #GamePlayerPsychology #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrimeToday #DoubleHomicideJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking testimony from the Paul Caneiro quadruple murder trial. New Jersey State Police forensic analysts confirmed DNA from both Sophia Caneiro, age 8, and Jesse Caneiro, age 11, was found on clothing in their uncle Paul's basement. The children were stabbed to death fourteen miles away in Colts Neck. Sophia's blood appeared in three separate locations on a pair of jeans — shin, calf, thigh. Her DNA was also on a black surgical glove frozen to the denim. Jesse's DNA showed up as part of a mixed sample. Prosecutors argue Paul Caneiro wore those items when he allegedly killed his brother Keith's entire family, then brought them home. Sophia was stabbed seventeen times. Court findings suggest she may have still been breathing when the fire was set beneath her. Keith Caneiro was shot execution-style — a contact or near-contact wound through his hood while he lay face-down on his lawn. The night before, he'd confronted Paul about $77,000 missing from a trust account and demanded answers by 8 p.m. Prosecutors say what happened next was Paul's response. The defense is raising contamination questions, but the physical evidence linking Paul to the murders is now before the jury. The trial continues through mid-March.#PaulCaneiro #TrueCrimeToday #CaneiroTrial #ColtsNeckMurders #DNATestimony #QuadrupleMurder #KeithCaneiro #SophiaCaneiro #JesseCaneiro #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/​Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Idaho has become America's true crime epicenter—and the state's lawmakers are finally waking up to a disturbing reality. A judge in Bryan Kohberger's case confirmed in November 2025 that under current law, Kohberger could potentially profit from book deals, streaming rights, and paid interviews within just five years of conviction. The judge stated the statute "leaves open the potential for Defendant to receive money from media contracts in the future." For the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, that's a nightmare scenario they never should have had to contemplate. This week, State Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation to modernize Idaho's nearly 50-year-old Son of Sam law—a statute that hasn't been updated since 1978, when David Berkowitz terrorized New York City and publishers lined up to pay him for his story. The Supreme Court gutted most of these laws in 1991. Idaho never fixed theirs. The new bill addresses digital monetization, streaming platforms, podcasts, and ongoing royalties—none of which existed when the original law was written. It unanimously advanced out of committee for a public hearing. But Kohberger isn't the only case exposing the problem. Lori Vallow Daybell owes over $700,000 in restitution to the families of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan—money she'll never pay. Chad Daybell's self-published doomsday novels may still be generating income somewhere. In this episode, we break down the full history of Son of Sam laws, why the Supreme Court struck them down, how Idaho's current statute fails victims, and what the new legislation actually does. Idaho became a true crime epicenter by accident. What they do next is a choice.#KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #SonOfSamLaw #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #LoriVallowDaybell #TrueCrimeToday #VictimsRightsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Under current Idaho law, convicted killers like Bryan Kohberger and Lori Vallow Daybell could potentially profit from book deals, streaming rights, and paid interviews within just five years. A judge in Kohberger's case confirmed it in November 2025, stating the statute "leaves open the potential for Defendant to receive money from media contracts in the future." Idaho's Son of Sam law hasn't been meaningfully updated since 1978—before streaming platforms, podcasts, or digital monetization existed. The Supreme Court gutted most of these laws in 1991, and Idaho never bothered to fix theirs. Until now. State Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation this week to modernize the statute, addressing the digital media landscape that didn't exist when the original law was written after David Berkowitz terrorized New York City and publishers lined up to pay him for his story. The bill unanimously advanced out of committee for a public hearing. For the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, this represents the bare minimum of accountability after losing their children to alleged violence. But Kohberger isn't the only case exposing Idaho's failures. Lori Vallow Daybell owes over $700,000 in restitution to the families of JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan—money she'll never pay. Chad Daybell's self-published doomsday novels may still be generating income somewhere.

A judge in Bryan Kohberger's case said the quiet part out loud in November 2025: under current Idaho law, Kohberger could potentially profit from book deals, streaming rights, and paid interviews within just five years of conviction. The statute "leaves open the potential for Defendant to receive money from media contracts in the future." Idaho's Son of Sam law hasn't been meaningfully updated since 1978—nearly fifty years ago, when serial killer David Berkowitz terrorized New York City and publishers lined up to pay him for his story. The Supreme Court gutted most of these laws in 1991, declaring them unconstitutional. Idaho never bothered to fix theirs. This week, that finally changed. State Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation to modernize the statute, addressing digital monetization, streaming platforms, podcasts, and ongoing royalties—none of which existed when the original law was written. The bill unanimously advanced out of committee for a public hearing. For the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, this represents the bare minimum of accountability. The idea that the man accused of murdering their children could one day profit from telling his version of that night is unconscionable.

Idaho lawmakers are finally acting after a judge confirmed the unthinkable: convicted killers like Bryan Kohberger could legally profit from media deals under the state's outdated Son of Sam law. This week, Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation to close loopholes that have existed since 1978 — and the bill unanimously advanced out of committee.The timing couldn't be more urgent. At Kohberger's restitution hearing in November 2025, Judge Steven Hippler noted that Idaho's current statute "leaves open the potential for Defendant to receive money from media contracts in the future." The five-year escrow period means that without pending civil lawsuits, convicted criminals can eventually pocket proceeds from book deals, streaming rights, and paid interviews.The new bill modernizes Idaho's law to address podcasts, streaming platforms, and digital monetization — none of which existed when the original statute was written. It focuses on profit rather than speech to survive constitutional scrutiny, following the model New York adopted in 2001 after the Supreme Court gutted the original Son of Sam laws.This matters for multiple cases. Kohberger owes over $300,000 in fines and fees after confessing to murdering four University of Idaho students. Lori Vallow Daybell owes more than $700,000 in combined restitution for murdering her children and conspiring to kill others. Chad Daybell sits on death row while his self-published doomsday novels may still be generating income. Under current law, the same loopholes apply to all of them.Representative Elaine Price, whose district includes three of the Moscow victims' hometowns, co-sponsored the bill: "Victims should not feel continually victimized." The bill heads to a public hearing next. We break down what it means for these cases — and for victims' families fighting for basic accountability.#TrueCrimeToday #BryanKohberger #SonOfSamLaw #IdahoLegislature #LoriVallowDaybell #ChadDaybell #MoscowMurders #VictimRights #CriminalJustice #BreakingNewsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In November 2025, Judge Steven Hippler said the quiet part out loud: Idaho's current Son of Sam law "leaves open the potential for Defendant to receive money from media contracts in the future." Bryan Kohberger — the man who confessed to stabbing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin to death — could legally profit from telling his story within five years.This week, Idaho lawmakers finally moved to fix it. Senator Tammy Nichols introduced legislation to modernize the state's 48-year-old statute, and the bill unanimously advanced out of committee. Representative Elaine Price — whose district includes three of the victims' hometowns — co-sponsored it, saying: "Victims should not feel continually victimized."The numbers are infuriating. Kohberger owes over $300,000 in fines and fees. Restitution to the families totals about $32,000. While awaiting trial, he received more than $28,000 in donations to his jail account. Meanwhile, the Goncalves and Mogen families were left arguing in court over who should pay for their daughters' urns — a dispute over roughly $3,000.Idaho's current law was written in 1978. It doesn't mention podcasts. It doesn't mention streaming platforms. It doesn't account for social media monetization or ongoing royalties. The true crime industry generates hundreds of millions of dollars annually, and Idaho's law is stuck in the era of evening news broadcasts.The new bill addresses digital monetization, extends escrow periods by court order, and includes First Amendment protections to survive constitutional challenges. It focuses on profit, not speech. But the clock is already ticking. The families of Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan deserve better than a legal system playing catch-up.We break down exactly what's in the bill, what it means for Kohberger, and why this fight is far from over.#BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #SonOfSamLaw #MoscowIdaho #UniversityOfIdaho #Justice4IdahoJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/ZmqBhDcTt18  Day 5 of the Brendan Banfield Trial begins with the defense case in chief finally kicks off, but it's a clunky start! Their presentation struggles, highlighted by the dramatic body cam footage of the defendant's emotional reaction to being told his wife had died. Plus, witness testimony becomes a trainwreck when the defense fails to properly admit their digital forensic expert's foundational report into evidence—leading to a chaotic recess. Detective Miller is recalled to the stand and clarifies his digital forensics summary. While his original report suggested the victim was using her devices, he now acknowledges that new context (the codefendant's admission) means he "can't say" it was Christine Banfield herself behind the screen.

Whether you're interested in criminal law or just want to know how timing can make or break a case, this episode delivers answers in a way that's both accessible and engaging.Welcome back to Lawyer Talk! In this episode, host Steve Palmer and law student Troy Henricksen dive into a thought-provoking legal question from a listener: Can someone file charges seven years after an incident occurred?The conversation explores the complexities of statutes of limitations, who can actually bring criminal charges, and why delayed justice is such a tricky subject.Along the way, Steve Palmer and Troy Henricksen break down the differences between civil and criminal cases, how exceptions work for serious crimes like murder and rape, and the challenges that come with bringing old cases to court.Here are 3 key takeaways from their discussion:Statutes of Limitations Matter: Most criminal charges must be filed within a specific time frame set by law. For example, in Ohio, most felonies carry a 6-year limitation, but serious crimes like murder or some types of sexual assault may have no limit at all.Discovery of the Crime is Key: The clock doesn't always start ticking when the crime happens. Sometimes, it starts when the crime is discovered or should have been reasonably discovered—especially true for cases involving hidden offenses like fraud.Defendants' Rights Are Still Protected: Even if a case is technically timely, defense attorneys can argue that a long delay in prosecution causes unfair prejudice—like lost evidence or missing witnesses—which can become a powerful part of the defense.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

This podcast features attorney Carl DeKoatz, an El Paso-based lawyer with over 13 years of experience. While his firm handles family law, probate, and estate planning, the discussion focuses primarily on his "bread and butter": Criminal Defense, specifically involving state and federal cases, DWIs, assault, and drug possession.State vs. Federal PracticeDeKoatz highlights a major distinction between the two systems:State Law: More flexible and relationship-based. Building rapport with prosecutors and judges in El Paso allows for more nuanced negotiations.Federal Law: More rigid and procedural. Success depends heavily on legal research, case law, and attacking the government's procedures.Assault and Family ViolenceDeKoatz notes that most assault cases involve domestic disputes (couples, roommates, or family members). Key insights include:The "Dropping Charges" Myth: DeKoatz clarifies that victims do not "press" or "drop" charges; it is always the State of Texas vs. the Defendant.Non-Prosecution Affidavits: While a victim's desire not to proceed helps in negotiations, the state may still prosecute if there is strong evidence like Ring camera footage or photos of injuries.Success Rates: Approximately 85% of his cases are resolved without a conviction, often through classes or deferred probation.Protective Orders: He warns clients to respect Emergency Protective Orders (EPOs) immediately after bonding out to avoid secondary charges for illegal contact.DWI Defense StrategyDrunk driving is a major focus of the firm. DeKoatz offers blunt advice for those pulled over:Avoid "Riding Dirty": Many DWIs start with "wonky" stops for expired registrations or broken tail lights. Keeping a car in good repair removes the officer's probable cause.The Golden Rule: If you've had even one drink, do not talk and do not take tests. * Accept the Arrest: He advises clients to accept they will be arrested rather than trying to "be a cool guy" and talk their way out of it. Refusing field sobriety and breathalyzer tests gives the defense a much stronger starting point to challenge a blood warrant later.Mitigation: For high BAC cases (0.15 or higher) or accidents, where "Pretrial Diversion" (PTD) is usually off the table, he uses character packets (letters from bosses, priests, etc.) to humanize the client and negotiate better deals.Drug Possession: The "Vape" FelonyA significant portion of the conversation covers the disparity in Texas drug laws regarding marijuana:Flower vs. Concentrates: While a small amount of leaf marijuana is a misdemeanor, THC vapes, cartridges, and edibles are classified as State Jail Felonies.The New Mexico Border: Many people are caught bringing legal products from New Mexico into Texas, unaware they are committing a felony.Juveniles: DeKoatz emphasizes protecting the records of students caught with vapes in schools, aiming for expunctions so a "one-off" mistake doesn't ruin their college or career prospects.The El Paso AdvantageDeKoatz concludes by emphasizing that in El Paso, reputation matters. Having practiced in the 34th Judicial District for over a decade, his ability to tell a prosecutor "what the case really is" carries weight because he has a proven track record of winning at trial when negotiations fail.Attorney: Carl Adrian DeKoatzFirm: Carl DeKoatz Law FirmAddress: 718 Myrtle Ave, El Paso, TX 79901Phone: (915) 577-0913Website: https://dekoatzlaw.com

One man fired 16 shots at the person accused of victimizing his 13-year-old daughter. The other allegedly used a silencer to make sure no one heard the shots that killed his ex-wife. Both are charged with murder. Both have defense attorneys preparing for trial. And both cases raise fundamental questions about what the law allows.Aaron Spencer found his daughter in Michael Fosler's truck at 1 AM — three months after Fosler posted bond on 43 felony charges for alleged crimes against her. Spencer rammed the truck and killed Fosler. Prosecutors say he'd been planning it for months. The defense says a man out on bond allegedly violated a no-contact order and took a child victim in the middle of the night. Under Arkansas law, justification is something the prosecution must disprove beyond a reasonable doubt.Dr. Michael McKee allegedly killed his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer while their children slept down the hall. The indictment says he used a suppressor. But prosecutors still haven't explained how he entered the home with no forced entry. There's no disclosed motive. No documented conflict in the years since the divorce. McKee gave police an alibi that didn't hold up — he only invoked silence after the arrest.Defense attorney Bob Motta analyzes both cases: the prosecution's evidence, the defense strategies, and what each jury will have to decide. For Spencer, it's whether prosecutors can disprove justification. For McKee, it's whether the gaps in the case create reasonable doubt against evidence that includes an alleged suppressor.#AaronSpencer #MichaelMcKee #MichaelFosler #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #DefenseStrategy #MurderTrial #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Episode 96 On December 31, 1986, just hours before Puerto Rico would ring in the New Year, flames tore through the luxurious Dupont Plaza Hotel and Casino in San Juan. What began as a labor dispute escalated into one of the deadliest hotel fires in U.S. history, killing 97 people and injuring more than 140. In the aftermath, investigators would uncover arson, negligence, ignored safety recommendations, a chaotic evacuation, and a legal battle that reshaped fire codes across the hospitality industry. In this episode, we examine: The labor tensions and strike that set the stage for disaster The timeline of the fire and how it spread so rapidly How smoke and toxic gases became the primary killers Failures in life safety systems, egress, and emergency planning The investigation that quickly identified arson Criminal charges against arsonists Massive civil litigation and code reforms that followed Lessons learned in the context of other hotel/casino fires of the era The Crime to Burn Patreon - The Cult of Steve - is LIVE NOW!

CONSPIRACY CHARGES AND THE LEGALITY OF AGGRESSIVE WAR Colleague Professor Gary J. Bass. The prosecution focused on 28 Class A defendants, alleging a grand conspiracy to wage aggressive war. This conspiracy charge, borrowed from Nuremberg, fit awkwardly with the fractured reality of the Japanese government, where defendants were often bitter rivals. To prosecute "aggressive war," the tribunal relied on the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact, despite it lacking criminal penalties for signatories. Ultimately, all surviving defendants received convictions, though verdicts were mixed; for example, Shigenori Togo was convicted of aggression but acquitted of conventional war crimes, while Kido was convicted of aggression but not held responsible for atrocities against POWs.

Activities at Native organizations and a tribal college in Minneapolis, Minn., were canceled after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot a woman Wednesday morning in the city. The Minneapolis American Indian Center canceled its Wednesday night programs due to community safety concerns and ICE activity in the neighborhood. The Red Lake Nation College, the Red Lake Nation Embassy, and the tribe's wellness center in Minneapolis closed Wednesday, and are expected to be closed for the rest of the week due to due the incident. MIGIZI, which supports Native youth in the Twin Cities, also canceled its programming. Tribes are expressing concerns about the incident and the safety of Native community members living in the Twin Cities. The Red Lake Tribal Council is urging its citizens to be careful, and to avoid ICE and other federal agents. The council released a two-page written message Wednesday, outlining concerns, which includes asking tribal members to report any interactions with ICE to the tribe's council or embassy. The Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa also raised concerns in a written message to its community about the safety of tribal members living in the Twin Cities. Robert Pilot is the host of Native Roots Radio based in the Twin Cities. He says the Native community is feeling the impacts of the shooting. “The reaction I’ve seen with the Native community is been just a gasp of what’s happened. 75,000 Native Americans live in Minneapolis (Twin Cities area). In that area of the shooting, there’s a very high percentage of Native Americans that live in that community, and they feel their community is being attacked by the federal government.” Pilot says members of the Native community are standing with their allies and took part in demonstrations against ICE on Wednesday in the area of the shooting. “There was a woman Native singer group that sang and it’s all about the healing. And I think the community, especially that community really knows that the Native community is really involved and really vetted into everything that happens there, happens to them.

(Photo: Gabriel Pietrorazio / KJZZ) A three-judge panel in Phoenix, Ariz., heard arguments on Wednesday over continuing a court-ordered injunction blocking a controversial land exchange. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, the land swap would result in a copper mining operation that is estimated to create a two-mile-wide crater, devouring an Apache holy site. It's been 140 days since the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals delayed a land swap first approved by Congress more than a decade ago. According to the 2015 law, 2,400 acres of Tonto National Forest must be turned over to Resolution Copper within 60 days of a final environmental impact statement being published, which happened in June. Plaintiffs in three different cases include the Arizona Mining Reform Coalition, San Carlos Apache Tribe, and a group of Apache women and girls. Defendants asked for the injunction to be lifted, which could lead to an immediate public land transfer. The judges did not say when their decision will be made.

Five years after January 6, Michael Smerconish tackles a deeply uncomfortable question: should Americans feel any empathy for the defendants who say they believed they were defending the country? Drawing on a new New York Times report, expert analysis on political violence, and firsthand conversations with Trump attorneys, Michael explains today's Smerconish.com poll and examines whether intent, belief, and misinformation complicate moral judgment—without excusing violence.

What happens when a head of state is no longer treated as a political actor, but as a criminal defendant? In this episode of Profiling Evil, we walk through why U.S. federal prosecutors placed Nicolás Maduro in the same legal category as Manuel Noriega, and why comparisons to El Chapo often miss the mark. This video is not about whether the United States should act, it's about what actually happened, why these legal decisions were made, and how behavior, power, and entitlement shape the downfall of criminalized leaders. We'll explore how Noriega lost political immunity and why El Chapo is not the same as a dictator branded a criminal. Did these leaders misjudge their immunity? Let's examine the behaviors, the legal history, and true crime without politics.#ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #NarcoState #Dictators #ManuelNoriega #NicolasMaduro #Maduro #ElChapo #CriminalJustice #BehaviorAnalysis========================================20% OFF Newspapers.com https://newspapers.com/profilingevil========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

Economy Status of the US Dollar as Global Reserve Currency: USD Share Drops to Lowest since 1994  Central Banks diversify their holdings into dozens of smaller “non-traditional reserve currencies.”  The share of USD-denominated assets held by other central banks dropped to 56.9% of total foreign exchange reserves in Q3, the lowest since 1994, from 57.1% in Q2 and 58.5% in Q1, according to the IMF's new data on Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves. USD-denominated foreign exchange reserves include US Treasury securities, US mortgage-backed securities (MBS), US agency securities, US corporate bonds, and other USD-denominated assets held by central banks other than the Fed. Excluded are any central bank's assets denominated in its own currency, such as the Fed's Treasury securities or the ECB's euro-denominated securities. It's not that foreign central banks dumped US-dollar-denominated assets, such as Treasury securities. They did not. They added a little to their holdings. But they added more assets denominated in other currencies, particularly a gaggle of smaller currencies whose combined share has surged, while central banks' holdings of USD-denominated assets haven't changed much for a decade, and so the percentage share of those USD assets continued to decline.   Central banks' holdings of foreign exchange reserves in all currencies, and expressed in USD, rose to $13.0 trillion in Q3. Top holdings, expressed in USD: USD assets: $7.41 trillion Euro assets (EUR): $2.65 trillion Yen assets (YEN): $0.76 trillion British pound assets (GBP): $0.58 trillion Canadian dollar assets (CAD): $0.35 trillion Australian dollar assets (AUD): $0.27 trillion Chinese renminbi (RMB) assets: $0.25 trillion Source: wolfstreet.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");  https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2004750391435755846?s=20 https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2004928015172821228?s=20 https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2004946780216328590?s=20  Political/Rights https://twitter.com/Patri0tContr0l/status/2004590513182367845?s=20  https://twitter.com/Geiger_Capital/status/2005107085865103608?s=20 ICE: 70% Arrested Had Criminal Ties Roughly 70% of illegal migrants arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the second Trump administration reportedly had been convicted of or faced charges for criminal offenses. New data provided to the Washington Examiner shows the Trump administration arrested about 595,000 illegal immigrants between Jan. 20 and Dec. 11, according to the Department of Homeland Security. ICE said 70%, roughly 416,000, had “criminal convictions or pending criminal charges” in the United States, underscoring President Donald Trump’s promise to prioritize the “worst of the worst” in immigration enforcement. ICE officials stressed that even those without U.S. criminal records can still pose major public safety threats, the agency said, noting many are wanted abroad for violent crimes or have ties to gangs, terrorism, or other serious offenses. “This statistic doesn’t account for those wanted for violent crimes in their home country or another country, INTERPOL notices, human rights abusers, gang members, terrorists, etc. The list goes on,” an ICE spokesperson told the Examiner.

The transcript does not add new allegations about Epstein. Instead, it explains why he remained bankable long after his 2008 conviction and why his relationship with major banks survived despite generating almost no traditional revenue. That institutional logic is the same logic that later drove JPMorgan to end its ties with Trump Media, and the contrast between the two cases shows how selectively these standards are applied. In the deposition, Paul Morris—a private banker who handled Epstein's accounts at JPMorgan Chase and later Deutsche Bank—described Epstein's financial profile with unusual precision. Epstein's trading was minimal. His accounts produced limited fees. He was not a high-activity client and did not utilize the investment tools that banks rely on to generate consistent revenue. By every conventional benchmark, he was a low-value account. And yet, the relationship continued. The deposition shows why. Epstein was not retained for his financial performance but for his institutional usefulness. Morris acknowledged that Epstein facilitated introductions to ultra-wealthy individuals that the bank viewed as essential prospects. One example was Leon Black, whom Morris identified as a “priority prospect” because of Black's significant net worth and influence in the investment sector. Epstein introduced the bank to real-estate investor Andrew Farkas and discussed a potential connection involving biotech investor Boris Nikolic, who had ties to Bill Gates. These introductions were specific, documented, and initiated by Epstein, not the bank. This is the key element that many public accounts overlook. Epstein was not being managed as a traditional client. He functioned as a relationship broker inside a system where introductions to power carry more internal value than account-level returns.

The Vice President of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas, sums up the European position: “The decision by the U.S. to impose travel restrictions on European citizens and officials is unacceptable and an attempt to challenge our sovereignty. Europe will keep defending its values — freedom of expression, fair digital rules, and the right to regulate our own space.” The “attempt to challenge our sovereignty” statement is a particular type of hubris when we consider THIS: GREAT BRITAIN (October 2024) – The British Labour Party is sending approximately 100 current and former staff members to the United States to work for Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign in key swing states. [SOURCE – LINKEDIN] Not only did the U.K attempt to challenge our sovereignty, but they also actively worked to influence the outcome of our national election in 2024. It is worth remembering the British intelligence operation, (Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), commonly known as MI6), was at the center of the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy in 2016. The first EU political group to be targeted with the visa bans includes French former EU commissioner Thierry Breton, who was one of the architects of the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA).

TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Trump Tasks Military With an ‘Oil Quarantine' Against Venezuela, as Economic Pressure Is Chosen for Now Over Military Action Venezuela's oil industry under maximum pressure.   And now that the extended holidays are over, the socialist regime will have to deal with the veritable siege imposed by the US and its unprecedented armada. Venezuela is running out of storage space for its oil production since some ships are being seized and many others turned around and left.  Now, it arises that Donald J. Trump has directed US forces to enforce ‘an oil quarantine' against Venezuela for at least the next two months. These moves lead many to think that the Trump team will focus on economic rather than military means to pressure Caracas into ousting Maduro.

I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can't really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests. Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as “bribes”; instead it was usually along the lines of “Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.” (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.) The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe? Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe. Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA! So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one's tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily. Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host. So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not “racism,” it is not “bigotry,” it is not “xenophobia”; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity. https://twitter.com/MarioNawfal/status/2005262465190223928?s=20 https://twitter.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/2005305530651189719?s=20   exploiting federal programs. Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide. To date, the FBI dismantled a $250 million fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during COVID. The investigation exposed sham vendors, shell companies, and large-scale money laundering tied to the Feeding Our Future network. The case led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions. Defendants included Abdiwahab Ahmed Mohamud, Ahmed Ali, Hussein Farah, Abdullahe Nur Jesow, Asha Farhan Hassan, Ousman Camara, and Abdirashid Bixi Dool, each charged for roles ranging from wire fraud to money laundering and conspiracy. These criminals didn't just engaged in historic fraud, but tried to subvert justice as well. Abdimajid Mohamed Nur and others were charged for attempting to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash. Those responsible pleaded guilty and were sentenced, including a 10-year prison term and nearly $48 million in restitution in related cases. The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing. Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible. https://twitter.com/ScottPresler/status/2004932316926193933?s=20 https://twitter.com/HarmeetKDhillon/status/2004976287270731981?s=20 https://twitter.com/rising_serpent/status/2005080344610177489?s=20  https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2005092720927232198?s=20  “skeptical jurors” in federal cases involving President Trump.

President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2004653262491058216?s=20 accomplished what no one else could. When we arrived, taxpayers were about to be on the hook for nearly $5 billion for a new headquarters that wouldn't open until 2035. We scrapped that plan. Instead, we selected the already-existing Reagan Building, saving billions and allowing the transition to begin immediately with required safety and infrastructure upgrades already underway. Once complete, most of the HQ FBI workforce will move in, and the rest are continuing in our ongoing push to put more manpower in the field, where they will remain. This decision puts resources where they belong: defending the homeland, crushing violent crime, and protecting national security. It delivers better tools for today's FBI workforce at a fraction of the cost. The Hoover Building will be shut down permanently.  They Got Her: FBI Caught Hillary Clinton Talking Donations with Foreign Felon on Tape As Hillary Clinton closed in on the presidential nomination in the spring of 2016, FBI field officers advised colleagues at headquarters to press her on the foreign donations flowing to the Clinton Foundation while she steered American foreign policy and whether she had used the charity as a campaign piggy bank. But the FBI HQ in Washington — a city in which the former secretary of state and first lady wields enormous influence — let the trail go cold. FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge Diego Rodriguez advised agents in Washington to ask Clinton several questions about the foundation, which are reproduced in full in documents released to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the FBI and published on Dec. 15. The questions reveal the concerns about foreign bribery that the Clinton Foundation case — codenamed “Cracked Foundation” — had uncovered. Among the evidence available to investigators, according to their questions: A recorded conversation between Clinton and Indian hotel magnate Sant Singh Chatwal in which Clinton discussed donations to the foundation and her remaining 2008 campaign debt. The new documents confirm that the FBI had at one time been “intercepting individuals associated with the Clinton Foundation.” Source: westernjournal.com  John Brennan's Lawfare Lawyers are Revealing More Than They Intend   former CIA Director John Brennan are sending proactive letters to the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida {SEE HERE}.  However, some of the information included in the letters intended to be exculpatory is actually damning against their defense position. You have to go deep in the weeds to see it but if you understand the details of the events, the information being revealed by Brennan's lawyers is the opposite of helpful to his case.  As an example, there is a citation included in a footnote of the December 22, 2025, [fn #20 page 6] letter that links to a March 31, 2022, letter sent to John Durham. Here's page 6 of the 2025 letter. Compare the underlined section to the 2022 letter sent to John Durham. In 2025 Brennan is telling the Florida court the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) conclusion was confirmed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in a “very serious review.”  However, in 2022 Brennan told John Durham that Robert Mueller never interviewed him or offered an assessment of the ICA; Mueller just regurgitated it. So, which is it? These contradictions are throughout both of the letters when you compare them side-by-side.  In 2022 former CIA Director John Brennan was trying to escape the Durham review.  In 2025 Brennan is trying to escape a grand jury review. [We are aware that the U.S Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, has access to the CTH public library of research into all of these historic events.] There are other citations in the 2022 letter that are certainly worth reviewing because the legally binding statements made by John Brennan at the time have been shown to be false in 2025. Another of the claims in the 2022 letter to John Durham highlights why it was critical for the CIA to assist in the capture and arrest of Julian Assange in 2019.

Energy’s way down. Gasoline is way down.” Over the past two weeks, a series of positive economic reports has shown that inflation is decreasing, with the White House highlighting the latest data while addressing cost-of-living concerns nationwide. According to a Politico poll conducted last month, Americans say they are finding that the costs of groceries, utilities, healthcare, housing, and transportation are too expensive. Trump has been fighting to reframe that, however, blaming Democrats under Biden for driving prices up. He said in the interview, conducted Friday, that “electricity is down. It’s way down.” “When the gasoline goes down, and when the oil and gas go down, the electricity comes down naturally,” he said. “But it’s all coming down. It’s all coming down. It’s coming beautifully.” Source: newsmax.com https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2004696380531503505?s=20   the NG will have quick response troops on standby in every state, the FBI building is being moved to a new location, the war between Russia and Ukraine is coming to an end, and all of Trump's pieces will be in place. There seems to be a shift in attitude. I think we are passing into a different phase of the operation. The shadow war will eventually have to come to the surface.

Criminal Defense Attorney Alison Triessl joins Amy and T.J. to discuss today’s sooner than expected guilty verdict in the Brian Walshe trial. Triessl talks about how the defense overplayed its hand, and already had an uphill battle with those devastating and gruesome searches Brian made shortly after his wife Ana’s death. Despite the prosecution’s lackluster presentation, and the lack of a body or known cause of death, it took the jury less than 6 hours to return a guilty verdict.

In the early morning hours of October 8, 1964, thirty-four-year-old housewife and mother of three Lucille Miller placed a frantic call to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department to report that there had been a car accident on remote Banyan Street and her husband had been killed. When deputies arrived at the scene, the car was still in flames and, as Lucille had described, her husband Gordon “Cork” Miller was in the passenger seat, nearly unrecognizable from the extent of the fire damage.The evidence at the scene appeared to support Lucille's version of events; the car had gone off the road while they were driving and caught fire. Lucille managed to get out of the car, but Cork was unconscious and she was unable to get him out. Less than twelve hours later, however, Lucille's story began to fall apart and by the end of the day she was arrested for the murder of her husband. At first, the case against Lucille Miller seemed relatively straightforward; she killed her husband for the insurance money and to pursue a relationship with another man. But as the investigation unfolded and investigators began digging into the Miller's lives, the story became significantly more complicated and no one seemed able to decide whether Cork's death was in fact a murder.Want to buy our GORGEOUS Tarot Deck designed by the incredibly talented Marisa Aragón Ware?
