Alex Acosta's appearance before Congress was nothing short of a masterclass in bureaucratic nonsense and evasive cowardice. Instead of accountability, he offered the same tired excuses and jargon-filled deflections, pretending that the Epstein plea deal was some sort of complicated chess match rather than what it truly was: a grotesque betrayal of justice. He smirked, stammered, and dressed up cowardice as prudence, insisting his hands were tied when in reality, he was the one tying them. It was a performance not of contrition but of arrogance, as if the public should feel lucky that this man even bothered to show up and grace them with his half-truths.Worse still, Acosta continues to play his role in the Epstein charade, feeding the illusion that this was merely an unfortunate footnote in a prosecutor's career rather than a calculated decision that shielded a predator and his powerful friends. By refusing to admit fault or show genuine remorse, he reinforces the same wall of silence that has defined the entire cover-up from day one. His congressional testimony wasn't about truth—it was about maintaining the narrative, keeping the spotlight off the networks of influence that Epstein served. Acosta wasn't testifying for the people; he was testifying for the system that thrives on protecting the powerful, and in doing so, he revealed exactly why history will remember him as a coward who sold out justice and stood by it with a smirk.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Alex Acosta: Former US attorney defends Epstein's 2008 plea deal in hours-long appearance on Capitol Hill | CNN PoliticsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Long Island Serial Killer's family is split. The trial is coming. And both women may be victims of the same alleged lie.In today's episode, we examine the Gilgo Beach Killer family fracture—why his ex-wife Asa Ellerup still calls Rex her "hero" while daughter Victoria has publicly stated she believes he's "most likely" guilty of the Long Island murders.According to the Peacock documentary, Asa described Rex as her "savior" from a difficult first marriage. She said visiting him in jail felt like "a first date." Their divorce was finalized in March 2025—but she still refers to him as "my husband."Victoria's evolution was different. She acknowledged there were places in the Massapequa Park house she wasn't allowed as a child. She spoke with BTK's daughter about living in the aftermath. By the documentary's release, she'd reached her conclusion about LISK.But here's what makes the Gilgo Beach case even more disturbing. According to court documents, female hairs found on multiple victims' remains along Ocean Parkway were allegedly consistent with DNA from Asa and Victoria. Neither woman is accused of involvement. Suffolk County prosecutors say the hair was transferred from Rex's clothing.The women in the alleged Long Island Serial Killer's life were allegedly connected to murder victims they never knew existed. Their hair allegedly helped build the prosecution's case.The family unknowingly provided the evidence.They'll all be in the same courtroom in September 2026—one believing innocent, one believing guilty.Both are collateral damage in the Gilgo Beach case.Part 3 of 5.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

March 5, 2026Today's Reading: Catechism: Eighth CommandmentDaily Lectionary: Genesis 24:1-31; Mark 7:24-37“We should fear and love God so that we do not tell lies about our neighbor, betray him, slander him, or hurt his reputation, but defend him, speak well of him, and explain everything in the kindest way.” (Luther's meaning for the Eighth Commandment)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.The Eighth Commandment! Thanks be to God for this commandment and Luther's explanation! After all, the tongue can be so destructive. It's teeny-tiny and yet can go scorched earth on a person's life, as James reminds us: “So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.” (James 3:5-6) Every one of us has had those moments when we stayed silent as gossip was shared, when we were delighted to share the faults and failures of others, when we embellished a story to make ourselves look better, or when we lied about someone to turn people against them. We have used our tongues as a wrecking ball. Reputations turned into rubble. Friendships fractured. Relationships ruined.  Repent! All of us! Return to the Lord, for He is gracious and merciful! Go to His called and ordained man who uses his tongue to speak that passion-purchased pardon into our ears! “You are forgiven all for Jesus' sake!” Those words cover all the bad our tongues have done. What Good News that Christ only speaks well of you and me! Forgives us all sins! Defends us from every accusation from Slithery Serpent Satan! Yes, Jesus is no adversary like Satan but our Advocate! Before the Father, He continually pleads for us, showing the Father the very wounds that won peace! Peace with God! Peace with one another! Having been forgiven, we now strive to live at peace with all. Yes, our tongues have been set free to defend our neighbor, speak well of him, and explain everything in the kindest way. We now have the joy of imitating Jesus, who is our Advocate. Keep your eyes open every day for those opportunities to be an advocate to and for your neighbor. And when you sin with your tongue, what joy to hear once again Christ's forgiveness from the lips of your pastor.      In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.“Bear no false witness nor defame Your neighbor nor destroy his name, But view him in the kindest way; Speak truth in all that you say.” Have mercy, Lord! (LSB 581:9)Rev. Aaron Schian is pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Auburn, MI.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.We wander through life looking for freedom, only to realize we have listened to the devil's call to serve our selves, our pleasures, and our lusts. Instead of freedom we find ourselves enslaved to sin. We wonder if we have sinned too often, too deep to ever be welcomed back to the Father's home, back into His loving embrace. Have we lost our inheritance as children of God?In this short book, author Bryan Wolfmueller digs into the popular parable of the Prodigal Son to bring hope and aid to our hurting conscience. Wolfmueller proclaims the freedom-giving Gospel that through Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection, our place in the Father's house is secure, and forgiveness and welcome are ours in His outstretched arms. Fully Free, now available from CPH.

Democratic and some Republican senators pressed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over what they described as overly aggressive immigration enforcement. Noem's testimony before the Judiciary Committee comes as Congress remains deadlocked over DHS funding, raising concerns about national security at a moment of escalating conflict in the Middle East. Lisa Desjardins reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended her department's immigration enforcement tactics in front of a Senate committee on Tuesday and pushed back against criticism from Democrats who say she wrongly disparaged two protesters killed by federal officers in Minneapolis earlier this year.It was Noem's first congressional appearance since the shooting deaths of the two protesters galvanized widespread opposition to how the Trump administration is executing its mass deportation agenda, a centerpiece policy of President Donald Trump's second term. At the time, Noem portrayed the protesters, two U.S. citizens, as agitators, although accounts from local officials and bystander video contradicted assertions from her and other administration officials.In one exchange, retiring Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina called her leadership a “disaster” and skewered her handling of the immigration crackdown and her management of emergency response.In the hearing, which stretched nearly five hours, Noem defended her agency's treatment of immigrants caught up in enforcement activities, and blamed activists and others for attacks against officers.“I want to address the dangerous environment that our ICE officers face on the streets today," Noem said. “They are facing a serious and escalating threat as a result of deliberate mischaracterizations of their heroic work and rhetoric that demonizes our law enforcement.”Since the deaths in Minneapolis, the administration has taken steps meant to tone down tensions, including drawing down the operation there. But the administration has continued pressing restrictions against both legal and illegal immigration, has been buying up warehouses for immigration detention and persisting in federal enforcement in areas around the country. Noem said about 650 investigators remain in Minnesota as part of a broader fraud probe.The immigration tactics of Noem's department have triggered a clash in Congress over its routine funding, which remains unresolved, although a spending bill passed last year granted it a significant infusion of cash for the Republican administration's mass deportation policy. Noem called the partial shutdown “reckless” and blamed Democrats for a move she said put national security at risk.Her appearance in front of the Judiciary Committee also comes after a weekend shooting at a bar in Texas that is being investigated as a possible act of terrorism, leading to concerns that the escalating conflict in Iran could have repercussions for security in the U.S.Noem blames chaotic situation for her characterization of killed protestersIn what was initially billed as an effort to root out fraud in Minnesota, Homeland Security sent hundreds of officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection to the state. They were met by protesters who organized marches, patrolled neighborhoods for ICE activity with whistles and ferried food to immigrants too afraid to leave their homes.Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot and killed by an ICE officer on Jan. 7, setting off intense protests demanding an end to the operation. Then on Jan. 24, Customs and Border Protection officers opened fire on another Minnesota resident, Alex Pretti, who had been filming enforcement operations.Those deaths led to cries for accountability and transparency. Noem, whose initial comments portrayed both Good and Pretti as the aggressors, has come under withering criticism by Democrats and some Republicans, who have called for her to resign.Democrats repeatedly questioned Noem about her initial comments and called on her to apologize.“You and your agency rushed to brand these victims as, quote, domestic terrorists,” said Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the committee. “We have ample video evidence and eyewitness testimony proving you are wrong. Your statements caused immeasurable pain to these families.”Noem said she was relying on information from people on the scene and blamed “violent protesters” for contributing to the chaos officers encountered.“I was getting reports from the ground from agents at the scene, and I would say that it was a chaotic scene,” she said.After public outrage over the deaths, Trump sent border czar Tom Homan to Minneapolis to take control of operations. Homan has since announced a drawdown of the ICE and CBP officers who had been sent to Minnesota to carry out what had been dubbed Operation Metro Surge, although he's been adamant that the president's mass deportation agenda will continue.Noem also faced some Republican criticismRepublicans largely kept the focus on the large numbers of migrants who came into the country under former President Joe Biden, portraying Noem as the leader of a cleanup effort of the former administration's mess.But she did come under some harsh questioning by members of her own party. Tillis, who called on Noem to resign following the shootings in Minneapolis, criticized her for erroneously arresting American citizens, for failures in her disaster recovery agency and for how she shot her own dog.“What we've seen is a disaster under your leadership, Miss Noem, a disaster," Tillis said. “What we've seen is innocent people getting detained that turn out are American citizens.”Tillis, who has already announced that he is not running for another term., added: “We're beginning to get the American people to think that deporting people is wrong. It's the exact opposite. The way you're going about deporting them is wrong."Another Republican, Sen. John Kennedy from Louisiana, also pushed her to explain why her department paid more than $200 million for an ad campaign she appeared in last year encouraging migrants to leave the country voluntarily and questioned whether Trump knew about the price tag ahead of time.Noem, who is set to appear Wednesday in front of a House committee, defended those ads, saying they were effective and went through the regular department bidding process.“Well, they were effective in your name recognition,” Kennedy said.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they break down Vice President JD Vance's forceful defense of the Trump administration's fraud investigations, a Midwest mayor claiming Americans should be embarrassed to own guns, and how California Gov. Gavin Newsom's press team demeaned and dismissed a serious reporter with tiresome vulgarity.First, they applaud Vice President Vance for standing firm behind the Trump administration's investigation into widespread government fraud, especially following revelations of massive fraud in Minnesota. Scot and Greg argue that fraud needs to be exposed rather than excused.Next, they highlight the radical comments on guns and dogs from Democrat Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mayor David LaGrand. The mayor says anyone who owns a gun should be ashamed. And he's also supportive of ending K-9 police units after a recent incident. It's not just the leftward lurch of a recently conservative part of the country. It reflects broader Democratic attitudes on gun rights, policing, and traditional American institutionsFinally, they criticize Gavin Newsom communications aide Izzy Gardon for refusing to provide details about Gov. Newsom's sudden admission of dyslexia and for responding to longtime reporter Susan Crabtree with vulgarity. Scot and Greg discuss what they see as significant disrespect for a well-established reporter and another chapter in the left's endless public profanity.Please visit our great sponsors:Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLLive better, longer with BUBS Naturals.

Joe Schoen meets the media at the NFL Combine and makes it clear: he says his role has not changed, and he's still running the Giants football operation. But with Donna Aponte stepping into a major front office role and John Harbaugh now part of the decision-making mix, the conversation quickly turns to the real question: is this collaboration… or confusion waiting to happen? Plus, Schoen says the Giants are “open for business” in the draft. With no third-round pick and a premium slot in Round 2, we debate how aggressive New York should be about moving back, moving up, and reshaping the board. Then, on calls: Giants fans weigh in on the free agent priorities, including the Jermaine Eluemunor vs. Wan'Dale Robinson debate, and what kind of offseason approach this new structure could produce once free agency hits.

The dictionary defines tanking as deliberately losing or failing to finish. Jason delves into Mark Cuban actually saying that the NBA should embrace tanking. Cuban implied that teams should be more focused on the game-day experience and ticket prices than on tanking. Dre Baldwin, Steve Kim, and Jay Skapinac join the show, offering their takes on Cuban's comments, the notion that Michael Jordan could become the face of NASCAR, and the cancellation of Cam Newton's BET show, “106 and Sports,” after only eight episodes. This cancellation followed Newton's remarks about not having any attractive women in his life to avoid sexual relations with them.

Jason closes the show by checking in on the journey of Pastor Brooks as well as the pastor's remembrance of Jesse Jackson. ​​Today's Sponsors: CB Distillery Everything CB Distillery makes is premium quality — no artificial fillers, no junk.
