Listeners, the latest headlines surrounding Sean Combs—known to many as Puffy, P. Diddy, or Diddy—center on his recent federal court verdict. Just this week, a Manhattan jury found Combs guilty on two of five charges related to prostitution, both involving allegations of transporting women to engage in prostitution. However, he was acquitted of the most serious charges: racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force or fraud, including those accusations involving Cassie Ventura. The jury, after deliberating for more than two days following six weeks of testimony, cleared Combs of these higher-level offenses, offering some relief to the embattled mogul. Still, he now faces a maximum of 10 years in prison for each conviction, and sentencing will be determined in the coming months, as reported by ABC News.Combs' legal battles have cast a shadow over what was once one of hip-hop's most formidable business empires. According to The Shade Room, his downfall began long before the verdict. Combs stepped down and fully divested from Revolt TV, saw his Sean John fashion line vanish from Macy's shelves, and lost several major endorsement and media deals. These developments follow years of public lawsuits from multiple accusers, including a $20 million settlement to Cassie, while many other civil cases remain unresolved.Business Insider highlights that Combs' fortunes have diminished dramatically. Once boasting a net worth hovering around $1 billion, Forbes' most recent valuation, just before his arrest, placed his wealth at $400 million. His lucrative partnership with Diageo, the spirits giant behind Cîroc vodka and DeLeón tequila, ended in 2023 after the company cited the piling legal troubles and Combs' unsuitability as a brand figurehead. Sean John, his iconic fashion brand, has similarly collapsed in value and visibility.Despite his legal defense's claims of victory following the acquittals, industry analysts suggest a long road ahead for Combs—not just in the courts, but in any hopes of reclaiming his cultural and financial heights. The Associated Press notes that even if prosecutors attempt to seize assets linked to criminal activity, the broader collapse of his businesses and partnerships has already dramatically altered the landscape for one of hip-hop's most storied entrepreneurs.

Sean Combs, also known as Puffy or P Diddy, has been at the center of major headlines this week following a high-profile legal battle that has captivated the world of music and business. On July 2, 2025, a jury found Combs guilty on two counts related to the transportation to engage in prostitution, while acquitting him on the most serious racketeering conspiracy charge. The case, which ran for nearly two months, included graphic testimony and surveillance footage, notably including ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's account of a violent 2016 incident. As the verdict was delivered, Combs was visibly emotional, his reaction closely watched by both supporters and critics. Some in the gallery applauded when the court session concluded, while Combs' supporters have emphasized the strength shown by Ventura in coming forward and testifying according to ABC News.Despite the legal outcome, the maximum sentence Combs could face is 10 years, though legal analysts suggest a lighter penalty is likely, potentially even probation. The case, its graphic evidence, and the celebrity involved have sparked extensive commentary and social media debate about power, accountability, and legacy in the entertainment industry, with journalists noting the emotional toll it has taken on all parties involved.On the business side, Combs' empire remains one of the most remarkable stories in music and entrepreneurship. As of 2025, his net worth is estimated to be over $1 billion, largely thanks to his investments in music, fashion, beverages, and tech. His initial partnership with Cîroc vodka netted close to $1 billion, and he received an additional $200 million from Diageo for his stake in DeLeón tequila, plus ongoing revenue from his media ventures and music catalog, according to Business Insider. The impact of the verdict on his business interests is still playing out, with speculation about potential changes to his brand partnerships and ongoing civil suits.Combs' cultural influence remains formidable, but 2025 has also seen a reevaluation of his public persona. There has been renewed attention to documentaries on his life and career, including the recent releases of “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy” on Peacock and the four-part series “Fall of Diddy” on Investigation Discovery, sparking further debate about celebrity, responsibility, and redemption. The unfolding developments surrounding Sean Combs underscore a dramatic year that continues to reshape the conversation within the entertainment industry.

Every secret has a price. Some are paid in blood. Disgraced city banker Malachite Peck seeks a fresh start in the quiet Cornish village of Golden, but when renovations of her bookshop unearth a bod... Uitgegeven door SAGA Egmont Spreker: Natasha Little

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports former Sen. Bob Menendez arrives at prison to begin serving his bribery sentence.

In one of the biggest stories of 2025, Sean "Diddy" Combs, also known as Puffy or P Diddy, remains squarely in the headlines as his high-profile criminal trial dominates news cycles. On June 13, courtroom drama intensified when U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian indicated he was prepared to remove a juror for dishonesty about residency, spotlighting the intensity and scrutiny surrounding the case. Prosecutors argue that Combs used his expansive business empire and employees to run a criminal enterprise allegedly involving coercion and sex trafficking, with testimony revealing that assistants arranged hotel rooms and drugs for these activities. The defense, meanwhile, has fiercely contested witness credibility and the integrity of jury selection, setting the stage for deliberations expected later this month. If convicted, Combs faces the possibility of life in prison, a stunning turn for one of music's most influential moguls, as reported by ABC News.Amid the criminal proceedings, ABC World News Tonight reports that additional civil lawsuits have piled up against Combs. High-profile testimony from his former girlfriend, identified as Jane, detailed allegations of abuse and described a tumultuous relationship, including claims of physical violence and other traumatic experiences. Portions of Jane's testimony about a 2024 Las Vegas trip were ordered sealed by the judge, adding intrigue and speculation. Voice memos between Combs and Jane, introduced as evidence, provided further insight into their fraught relationship, keeping listeners and legal experts riveted as the trial unfolds.Outside the courtroom, Combs remains a towering figure in business. As noted by CEO Today Magazine and RadioGuide.fm, his status as one of the richest rappers endures, with an estimated net worth of around $1 billion as of 2025. Diddy's financial empire extends from founding Bad Boy Records to launching the Sean John fashion line and the Cîroc vodka partnership. His investments in tech startups, media ventures, and even efforts to build the largest Black-owned cannabis company in the U.S. underscore his legacy as a savvy entrepreneur whose influence reaches beyond music and culture.Yet as the trial continues and more allegations surface, Sean Combs' once-unassailable reputation hangs in the balance. Listeners everywhere are closely following the outcome, as the fate of a hip-hop and business icon is decided in real time.

This week on Ring of Fire! The ongoing probe into the Pentagon's shoddy communications has taken a truly bizarre turn. According to new reports, there may or may not have been an illegal wiretap used on some of Defense Secretary's Pete Hegseth's staffers in order to find out who to fire. If true, which the Pentagon can't seem to give a clear answer on, this would be a massive violation of the Constitutional rights of the employees and could result in criminal charges. Disgraced former Republican Congressman George Santos claimed in a pathetic social media post that he is DONE asking Donald Trump for a pardon and has accepted that he will be spending the next 7 years of his life in prison. In the post, Santos lashed out at his “so-called friends” who said that they could get him a pardon, admitting that the entire thing was fruitless. Donald Trump shared on a post on Truth Social calling a cancer patient at “decrepit corpse.” That cancer patient happens to be former President Joe Biden, and the post originally came from a MAGA influencer but was shared by the President on Monday. The post contained a number of lies and conspiracies about the former administration, showing that Trump refuses to move on from his imagined sleights. And MAGA voters in red states that have been decimated by natural disasters have lost their patience with Donald Trump and his entire administration. These voters say that they haven't seen a single federal worker on the ground as they attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives – quite literally. This is what happens when you buy into decades' worth of anti-government propaganda from the people vying to run the government. All that, and much more, on this week's Ring of Fire Podcast!

It's Friday, May 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslims kill 2 Christian teachers Boko Haram Muslim terrorists recently targeted Christians traveling near a Nigerian army base along the deadly Damboa–Maiduguri highway, reports International Christian Concern. On May 12th, two Christian teachers were killed and several others were injured when their vehicle struck an improvised explosive device allegedly planted by the Islamic terror group. Blessing Luka and Gideon Bitterleaf were both devoted Christian educators with the Damboa Local Education Authority. Pray that these Muslim murderers will be held accountable. Genesis 9:6 says, "Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind." More children in United Kingdom have gender dysphoria Soaring numbers of children in England and Wales are waiting for specialist gender care from the National Health Service -- as youngsters of any age are now eligible for referral after the health service “caved to the pressure” of transgender activists to remove age limits, reports The Daily Mail and World Magazine. Average waiting times have grown to more than two years for a confused child to get a first appointment at a specialist health service clinic, with 157 of those aged under ten. There were 6,225 confused kids on the national waiting list at the end of March. That's up 12 per cent from the same point a year earlier. Young children believed to have gender dysphoria are generally given counselling and therapy with their family, but thankfully no longer prescribed hormone treatments.  Indeed, Britain's National Health Service has moved away from a “medical model” in favor of a “holistic” approach to children's gender care, as per recommendations from the Cass Review. Puberty blockers are no longer prescribed to children for the treatment of gender dysphoria, after a ban last year was made permanent in December. Former FBI Director calls for Trump's assassination Former FBI Director James Comey is facing massive backlash after he posted a photo on his Instagram page calling for the assassination of President Donald Trump, reports Christian Talk show host Todd Starnes. An image of seashells that had been arranged on the beach to spell “86 47” was posted on Comey's personal Instagram account. The number “86” is code for killing someone. And, of course, “47” refers to the fact that Donald Trump is the 47th president of the United States. Comey wrote, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem tweeted, “Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of President Trump. [the Department of Homeland Security] and Secret Service is investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.” And Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama tweeted, “This is a direct THREAT against President Trump, who has already survived two assassination attempts. BEYOND despicable. James Comey MUST face consequences.” RFK Jr. agrees to examine the dangers of Abortion Kill Pill A recent study by the Ethics and Public Policy Center on the Abortion Kill Pill, mifepristone, showed that 11% of women experience adverse effects serious enough to send them to the Emergency Room. That's 22 times higher than what the Food and Drug Administration claims.   Appearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on May 15th, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. agreed to a comprehensive review and relabeling of Mifepristone in response to a pointed question from Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, reports The Guardian. Listen. HAWLEY: “There's been a major study by the Ethics and Public Policy Center of 865,727 prescribed cases of mifepristone abortions, chemical abortions, between 2017 and 2023. This data shows the biggest study on mifepristone done, I think, ever, and it showed that nearly 11% of women experience very serious adverse health effects to include sepsis, hemorrhaging, infection, of course, emergency room visits. That rate is 22 times higher than the FDA's current label which says it's just 0.5 the incidence of serious adverse health events. “So, my question to you is this: You previously testified at the committee that you would do a top-to-bottom review of mifepristone. Do you continue to stand by that? And don't you think that this new data shows the need to do a review is, in fact, very pressing?” KENNEDY: “It's alarming, and clearly it indicates that, at very least, the label should be changed. I've asked Marty Makary, who's the director of FDA, to do a complete review and to report back.” HAWLEY: “Good!” South Carolina Supreme Court affirms Heartbeat Law The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that the state may enforce its heartbeat-based abortion ban, rejecting an argument by Planned Parenthood to weaken the law, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Enacted in 2023, the law effectively bans most abortions after about six weeks gestation. South Carolina Republican Governor Henry McMaster told the Daily Wire, “Time and time again, we have defended the right to life in South Carolina, and time and time again, we have prevailed. Today's ruling is another clear and decisive victory that will ensure the lives of countless unborn children remain protected and that South Carolina continues to lead the charge in defending the sanctity of life.” Psalm 127:3 says, "Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward." Christian band under fire by atheists and superintendent And finally, a popular Christian band is under fire from atheists along with Davidson County Schools in North Carolina, reports Blue Ridge Broadcasting. The 3 Heath Brothers band had been invited to host an anti-bullying event at Hasty Elementary School. Their performance included a number of songs that mentioned God. Afterwards, they gave the kids a devotional pamphlet that included Bible verses. The Freedom From Religion Foundation was enraged over the performance and accused the school of being a recruiting ground for Christianity. The God-hating attorney, Madeline Ziegler, wrote, “The district cannot allow non-school persons to treat schools as a recruiting ground for their religious mission.  Public schools are not an appropriate place for outside adults to convince students to convert to Christianity.” Sadly, the School Superintendent Gregg Slate was just as horrified with the Christian band and wrote a lengthy letter of apology to the atheists. But then, the school district went a step further. They had the audacity to demand that the 3 Heath Brothers remove video of the event from their social media pages. A bizarre request indeed. School officials claim they were duped. But Nicholas Heath of the 3 Heath Brothers denied that there was any proselytizing or worship service at the event.

Heath Lambert addresses a challenging question facing many Christians today: What should we do with books and resources from Christian leaders who have fallen into sin or been disqualified from ministry? Learn a biblical framework for approaching this increasingly common dilemma.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Introduction and today's difficult question0:45 The context: Many prominent Christian leaders falling from ministry1:42 Paul's words about finishing well in 2 Timothy 4:6-72:52 Important distinctions in types of disgrace and disqualification3:28 Addressing resources from those disqualified by false teaching4:52 Addressing resources from those disqualified by moral failure6:32 How moral failures can "taint" otherwise sound teaching7:58 Bottom line: Balancing gratitude for past benefit with future discernmentKEY POINTS:- Many once-prominent Christian leaders have failed to "finish the race" well (2 Timothy 4:6-7)- We must distinguish between disqualification through false teaching versus moral failure- Resources from those who taught false doctrine should generally be avoided completely- Even if their other materials contain truth, recommending them risks leading others to their false teachings- Moral failures don't necessarily make a teacher's true statements untrue, but they do "taint" their work-Just as many can't separate Bill Cosby's shows from his actions, Christians may struggle to benefit from resources by morally fallen leaders- Consider finding similar resources from leaders who haven't been disqualified when possible- Truth that impacted you positively remains true, regardless of the messenger's later failings- When using such resources, heavy qualification about what you now know is advisableSubmit your questions for future episodes to markedbyGrace@fbcjax.comSCRIPTURE REFERENCES:2 Timothy 4:6-7 - "I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

1- Start off with a big thank you and recap of the Bubba Wingfield fundraiser from over the weekend 2- Ranting about Jackson and the mayors race, I'm still not convinced the Horne is the man for the job but he's 1000% better suited than Chokwe and at lease deserves a chance to be the Democrat candidate where he'll face off against one of the 3 really strong independent candidates such as my close friend and mentor Kim Wade, Zack Servis or Rodney DePreist (who I continue to forget about) 2- A Disgraced former MHP trooper seems to have a hard time keeping my name out of her mouth and using my image for clicks on her social media (which is funny because other than having to discuss her firing I've always treated this person fairly), it's funny what people will do when they become desperate for attention. On a positive note I guess I've reached a level where this should be expected and not frowned upon, I just regret ever having her on my show or handling her firing with kid gloves instead of speaking on it how I truly felt. Lesson learned, never hold back and never take it easy on someone who wouldn't do the same for you. 3- AG Lynn Fitch has indicted several Capitol Police officers who had to shoot some bad guys in Jackson to defend themselves in what's clearly nothing more than a political stunt to pander to Democrats as she ramps up for a potential run at the Governors office in 2028. I will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening after what she's done to these officers.  4- How are we ever going to get to Mars if we keep arresting all of our future rocket scientist, engineers and astronauts?

Michael Proctor's Career of Alleged Cover-Ups In Memoriam Michael Proctor had everything a cop could want—respect, power, and a reputation that, for years, seemed untouchable. But by March 2025, he wasn't just out of a job—he was a liability. Fired. Disgraced. Publicly humiliated in a way few law enforcement officers ever are. And it all comes back to one thing: the way he handled the Karen Read case. Or rather, how spectacularly he mishandled it. Proctor's downfall wasn't a quick and clean dismissal. This wasn't one of those “effective immediately” situations where a cop gets caught doing something catastrophic and is gone by the next morning. No, this was a slow-motion train wreck. A case study in watching someone who thought they were untouchable get tangled in their own arrogance, their own bias, and their own mistakes. It started with a mistrial in July 2024—a high-profile, publicly scrutinized moment where Proctor didn't just look bad on the stand, he became the story. His testimony wasn't just shaky; it was an unmitigated disaster. Prosecutors must have known it was coming because the moment his text messages came out, it was game over. These weren't just any texts. Proctor, the lead investigator in the Karen Read case, the man responsible for gathering evidence and ensuring a fair and unbiased investigation, repeatedly called the defendant a "wack-job ct," openly mocked her, laughed about digging through her phone for nude photos, and, in one of the most damning moments, said he hoped she would kill herself.** Think about that for a second. The guy responsible for finding out what actually happened had already made up his mind before the investigation even started. And he wasn't keeping that bias to himself—he was texting it to people. Joking about it. Making it impossible to argue that he had conducted an objective investigation. And that wasn't even the worst of it. Proctor had undisclosed personal connections to key people involved in the case. His own sister was friends with members of the Albert family—the same family that owned the house where John O'Keefe was last seen alive. His family knew them socially. And yet, he never disclosed this. He took the case, took control of the evidence, and built a case against Karen Read while having direct ties to the very people who could have been alternative suspects. Then there was the taillight evidence. The prosecution's whole theory hinged on the idea that Karen Read backed into John O'Keefe with her SUV, breaking her taillight and leaving him outside to die in the snow. But the glass fragments that allegedly proved this theory didn't make it to the crime lab for six weeks. Six weeks. And guess who was in charge of that evidence? Michael Proctor. When asked about the delay, there was no good answer. No chain of custody explanation that made sense. No reasonable justification for why a critical piece of forensic evidence in a high-profile murder case sat around for over a month before it was analyzed. The defense didn't even need to prove that the evidence had been planted—they just had to point out how incompetent and sloppy the investigation was. And Proctor had done all of their work for them. The mistrial was a disaster. But the fallout was worse. Within hours of the decision, Proctor was suspended. That was the first clue that even his own department knew he was a problem. The Massachusetts State Police don't just throw their own under the bus. It takes serious misconduct for them to cut someone loose. And by this point, they had no choice. Because once Proctor went down, he took a whole lot of other cases with him. One of the first dominoes to fall? The Ana Walshe murder trial. This was another major case where Proctor had been deeply involved—investigating the disappearance and presumed murder of Walshe by her husband, Brian. But after the Read mistrial, prosecutors dropped Proctor from their witness list. They weren't even willing to put him on the stand. Think about what that means. Prosecutors, who normally go to great lengths to protect their investigators, decided it was better to move forward without their lead detective rather than risk having him testify. Then came the defense attorneys lining up to challenge other convictions. Proctor had worked on multiple murder cases, and now, anyone convicted in those cases had a potential argument for appeal. If Proctor had lied, manipulated evidence, or acted with bias in the Read case, who's to say he hadn't done it before? By late 2024, the Massachusetts State Police were scrambling. They launched internal investigations not just into Proctor, but **into his superiors—**the people who had allowed him to operate without oversight. They needed to figure out who knew what and when. And once they started digging, it became clear that Proctor wasn't the only problem. The truth is, he was never operating alone. And that brings us back to Sandra Birchmore. Sandra Birchmore was 23 years old, pregnant, and terrified. She had been manipulated for years by a man with a badge—Officer Matthew Farwell, a cop she had known since she was a teenager, a man who had groomed her since she was 13 or 14 years old under the guise of a police mentorship program. By 2021, she was pregnant with Farwell's child. Days later, she was found dead in her apartment. The official cause? Suicide. The police wasted no time shutting the case down. No suspicious circumstances. No deep dive into her relationship with Farwell. Just a quick, convenient conclusion that kept everything under wraps. And guess who oversaw that investigation? The same Massachusetts State Police unit that Michael Proctor worked for. It would take three years for the truth to come out. When federal investigators finally stepped in, they re-examined the crime scene, the autopsy, and Birchmore's relationship with Farwell. What they found contradicted the original ruling completely. Sandra Birchmore hadn't died by suicide. She had been strangled. Her death had been staged. The scene manipulated to look like something it wasn't. And when that became undeniable, Matthew Farwell was arrested and charged with murder in August 2024. This should have been the moment when the Massachusetts State Police admitted failure. But instead, they scrambled to explain how they had gotten it so wrong. And that's where things start to look uncomfortably familiar. The same people involved in burying the Birchmore case had direct ties to the Read investigation. Lieutenant John Fanning, Detective Brian Tully, and Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik—all senior officers **in Proctor's chain of command during the Read case—**had connections to the Stoughton Police Department, the same department where Farwell worked. This wasn't a coincidence. By the time Proctor was fired in March 2025, it wasn't about just him anymore. It was about all the people who had allowed him to operate unchecked for years. And the fallout was just beginning. Because once people started asking who had protected Proctor, they started realizing he was just one piece of a much bigger problem. A problem that wasn't going away. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
