DOCKET ALERTS: US Attorney Jeanine Pirro wants to leave the door open to re-charging David Hearn for damaging the reflecting pool, although she concedes that literally everything she said in her original indictment was a lie. Pirro is also doing her darnedest to keep a lady locked up for the high crime of spraypainting. Judge Reed O'Connor is trying for a third time to allow manufacturers to sell ghost guns, no matter what the Supreme Court says. We're still waiting on the Supreme Court to say whether Trump can keep building his ballroom, or will have to cease above-ground construction as lower courts have ruled. MAIN SHOW: FCC Chair Brendan Carr is trying to burn down ABC for crimes of woke. But after he demanded that the ten local affiliates owned by the network renew their licenses early — likely a prelude to putting them out of business — ABC's parent company Disney swung into action. They sued the agency for retaliation in violation of the First Amendment. The DOJ's "8647" indictment of James Comey is circling the drain. The government filed its responses to various motions today, and they are … creative! They quote at length from Comey's novel and his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In January, ICE agent Christian Castro shot Minnesota man Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis and then filed a false report claiming that Sosa-Celis attacked him with a snow shovel. The charges against Sosa-Celis were quickly dropped, and in May state officials charged Castro with second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime and court issued a warrant for his arrest. By then, Castro was in Texas, where Governor Greg Abbott — the Law and Chaos DOOFUS OF THE DAY — has refused to extradite him to Minnesota as mandated by the Constitution's Extradition Clause. And so now Minnesota has sued Texas in federal court. US v.

This Day in Legal History: The Nineteenth Amendment Is RatifiedOn August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the thirty-sixth state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment—the final state needed to reach the three-quarters threshold—and with that vote, the constitutional guarantee that the right to vote could not be denied on account of sex became part of American law. It enfranchised, at a stroke, roughly half the adult population of the United States.The story of how it happened is almost unbelievably close. Tennessee's state senate had ratified comfortably, but the house was deadlocked, tied 48 to 48. The decisive vote belonged to a 24-year-old representative named Harry Burn, who had a red rose on his lapel signaling opposition to the amendment—and a letter in his pocket from his mother, Phoebe, urging him to “be a good boy” and vote for suffrage. He did. His single vote broke the tie, Tennessee ratified, and the amendment was certified into the Constitution days later. A generational struggle turned, in the end, on a young man listening to his mother.The significance of August 18, 1920 is best understood as the payoff to a story we told on this show back in July. When we covered the Seneca Falls Convention and its 1848 Declaration of Sentiments—the founding document of the American women's rights movement, which dared to demand the vote—I noted that it would take seventy-two years to win the ballot. This is that day. The distance from Seneca Falls to Nashville is the distance from a bold, ridiculed demand to a line in the Constitution. And like the Fifteenth Amendment before it, the Nineteenth didn't instantly deliver on its promise—many women of color, in particular, remained effectively disenfranchised for decades until the Voting Rights Act. But it permanently changed who “the people” are in a democracy. It's a reminder, on a day full of stories about the law's unfinished business, that some of the most fundamental rights we now take for granted were won slowly, against fierce resistance, and sometimes by a single vote.A landmark trial has begun in California federal court that could reshape the most popular apps on the planet: a bipartisan coalition of 29 states has put Meta on trial, alleging it deliberately designed Instagram and Facebook to addict and harm children. This is the big one we've been building toward all summer—the federal counterpart to the state cases in New Mexico and Tennessee. The states, led by Colorado, California, New Jersey, and Kentucky, told the court that Meta engineered features like infinite scrolling, notifications, “likes,” visual filters, and algorithmic recommendations to drive compulsive use, and misled the public about the platforms' safety for young people. Here's an important procedural wrinkle: while there's an eight-person jury in Oakland, it's serving only in an advisory capacity—the case will ultimately be decided by U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers. That's because this is largely an equitable case, and what the states are really after isn't just money but sweeping changes to how the platforms work: stronger age verification, restrictions on algorithms trained on children's data, limits on notifications, and the removal of features like infinite scroll. On damages, Meta itself has floated the staggering figure of $1.4 trillion as its potential exposure, though the states haven't named a number and legal experts consider an award anywhere near that scale unlikely. The significance is that this trial could force concrete, structural redesign of Instagram and Facebook for young users—not a settlement negotiated in private, but a judge's findings after a public trial. Everything we've tracked, from the multistate penalties to the New Mexico verdict to the Ninth Circuit clearing these suits, has been leading here. This is where the social-media reckoning gets its fullest public airing yet. Meta faces 29-state trial that could reshape Instagram and Facebook | ReutersYahoo Finance · anewsThe Justice Department has opened a civil-rights investigation into the College of William & Mary, alleging the Virginia public university runs scholarship and mentorship programs that unlawfully discriminate in favor of minority students. The Department's Civil Rights Division announced a “compliance review” under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act—which bars race discrimination by institutions that receive federal funding—targeting several specific programs: a fellowship in the education school that gives preference to Hispanic or Latina women with financial need, a doctoral mentorship program for “future education leaders of color,” and a law-school scholarship program. Here's the legal backdrop that makes this a national trend and not a one-off. After the Supreme Court's 2023 decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard ended race-conscious admissions, the fight didn't end—it moved. The administration is now using Title VI to argue that race-conscious scholarships, fellowships, and pipeline programs are themselves a form of unlawful discrimination, framing programs designed to expand opportunity for underrepresented groups as illegal “discrimination in favor of minorities.” Supporters of these programs say they're lawful efforts to remedy historic exclusion and build diverse professions; critics say any use of race, even to help, runs afoul of the post-SFFA legal landscape. It's worth being precise: this is a compliance review, an investigation, not yet a lawsuit or a finding of wrongdoing. The significance is that this is part of a systematic campaign we've tracked against universities—from Harvard to Columbia—and it signals that the enforcement frontier after affirmative action has shifted from the admissions office to the financial-aid office. Every race-conscious scholarship in the country is now, potentially, a legal target. DOJ probes College of William & Mary alleging discrimination in favor of minorities | ReutersBloomberg · Fox NewsA federal judge has ordered the release of a woman charged with vandalizing the World War II Memorial in Washington—and the top federal prosecutor there, Jeanine Pirro, is not happy about it. The defendant, 41-year-old Melissa Farris of Kentucky, was arrested last week and charged with two felony counts after the memorial's fountain was filled with soap suds and the words “Clean hands Dirty $” were spray-painted across a surface in red and green. A judge ordered her released on conditions—surrendering her passport and not leaving the continental U.S. without approval—and Pirro publicly criticized that decision. Let's unpack the legal pieces, because there are two distinct ones. First, pretrial release: in the American system, the default is that a defendant awaiting trial should be released unless the government shows they're a flight risk or a danger, with conditions used to manage any risk. A judge ordering release with conditions is the system working as designed—the presumption of innocence is not an empty phrase—even when a prosecutor would prefer detention. Second, the underlying conduct: Farris reportedly said on social media that she acted to protest tax dollars not being spent on ordinary Americans and alleged corporate wrongdoing. But political motivation doesn't convert property destruction into protected speech—you can hold the message and still prosecute the spray paint. The significance ties into a thread we've followed: this is the same U.S. Attorney, Jeanine Pirro, at the center of the Reflecting Pool saga, again clashing over how a memorial-vandalism case should be handled—this time frustrated that a judge released a defendant rather than that a case was dropped. A preliminary hearing is set for September 3, and it's a reminder that the everyday machinery of bail and pretrial release keeps operating regardless of how politically charged the underlying act may be. US judge orders release of woman accused of vandalism at World War Two Memorial | ReutersWashington Post · CBS NewsAnd finally, in my column this week, I take on a well-intentioned proposal to tax artificial intelligence in order to help the workers it displaces—and argue that, while the instinct is right, the mechanism is wrong. The proposal in question is Representative Greg Casar's AI Tax and Work Protection Act. Its premise is sound: if firms are capturing the gains from replacing human workers with AI while pushing the costs—unemployment, lost tax revenue—onto workers and society, those costs look like an externality, the same way pollution does. And we tax externalities all the time: cigarettes, gasoline, carbon. So taxing AI to fund worker protections is a reasonable idea in principle.My problem is with the particulars. Casar's bill doesn't actually tax worker displacement—it taxes AI “tokens,” the technical units of AI computation, with the rate keyed to the unemployment rate. That creates an appealing feedback loop on paper: as AI drives up unemployment, the tax rises and generates more money to put people back to work. But it asks the Treasury to do two things it's genuinely bad at. First, it has to figure out, in real time and on a political calendar, how much of any given rise in unemployment is actually caused by AI, as opposed to a recession, a pandemic, or a war. That's a causal judgment the tax code has no machinery for. Second, and worse, it has to put a stable dollar value on a “token”—an unstable, non-standardized unit that spans text, code, images, audio, and video, and isn't sold in any clean arm's-length market. You're trying to tax the meter, and the meter doesn't have a reliable price.So here's the alternative I argue for: instead of taxing AI use, give the public an equity stake in the companies that capture AI's gains—let the government own a piece of the franchise rather than tax the meter. This isn't as exotic as it sounds; scholars like Jeremy Bearer-Friend and Sarah Polcz have proposed having AI firms pay tax in kind, transferring equity rather than cash, and Senator Sanders has floated a far more aggressive version—a 50% stake funding a sovereign wealth fund. My point is that you don't have to go to 50% to adopt the underlying architecture. Equity is a better proxy than token usage: it scales with the actual size of the economic reallocation AI produces, and it only asks the government to value a company once, rather than to price billions of individual computations or adjudicate whether a particular prompt cost a particular job. If AI merely augments workers and produces modest gains, the public's share stays modest; if it produces extraordinary gains, the public shares in the upside. A smaller equity assessment on the largest firms, held through an independently managed vehicle, would let the public participate in AI's wealth without handing a shrunken Treasury an impossible measurement problem. The instinct to make sure the public benefits from AI is exactly right—we should just own a piece of the thing, not tax the ticker.

A few moments with Appalachian hikers Daniel Farris and his wife, Raychel Pepperman, began hiking the Appalachian Trail on Feb. 22 at Springer Mountain in Georgia, the starting point. By the time they reached Philipstown two weeks ago, they had trekked 1,400 miles and resolved a marital dispute: Farris was walking too fast. "I understand that you're frustrated, but I can't go any faster," Pepperman said she told her husband. Farris slowed down. "The trail has been helpful for our communication skills," said Pepperman, a therapist in Chattanooga. "If one of us gets upset with the other, you have time to think about it while you're hiking, instead of just reacting." The couple is among the many hikers who stop this time of year at the Appalachian Market at Route 9 and Route 403, where they often occupy the picnic tables. About 10 miles of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail meanders through Putnam County, much of it inside Fahnestock State Park. About 3,000 people each year attempt to hike the entire 2,197.9-mile route through 14 states to Mount Katahdin in Maine, according to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, and about a third succeed. Millions of others hike segments. When they stopped at the Appalachian Market in late July, Farris and Pepperman hoped to cover the final 800 miles by mid-September to attend a wedding in Nashville. To fellow hikers, Pepperman, 29, is known as "Chapstick" because of the lip balm she needed on the trail in February. Farris, 31, who sells outdoor gear, goes by "Mossman" because he likes to photograph moss. The market was also a refueling stop for Diver, 26, from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He declined to give his legal name but said his trail name was bestowed after he was seen dumpster diving near a shelter in Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia. He said he was retrieving his hiking cap, which had been thrown away, along with dozens of empty pizza boxes. Diver said he is hiking the trail because "I wanted to spend as much time outside as possible." He just completed five years in the U.S. Air Force sitting at a computer doing "logistics and stuff." He loves drinking from the springs he encounters. "It's the best water you'll ever get," he said. "It's so cold coming right out of the mountains." Also resting at the Appalachian Market was "Sidequest McMurphy," who said his "government name" is Seth Harper. He's a 23-year-old Eagle Scout who just graduated from the University of Tennessee. When he left Springer Mountain on March 9, Harper's trail name was McMurphy because, according to his former scoutmaster, he resembles the rebellious R.P. McMurphy in Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Harper added Sidequest because "I tend to get sucked into lots of sidequests," such as several days in the reading room at Elmer's Sunnybank Inn in Hot Springs, North Carolina. "Every room has a copy of Leaves of Grass and the Tao Te Ching," said Harper, who plans to attend graduate school and teach history. Harper said he is hiking for the same reason that Henry David Thoreau went to live by Walden Pond: "because I wanted to live deliberately." Hiking across Route 9 on his way to Fahnestock, he said he was listening to the audio version of Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow, which runs 36 hours. Resting at a picnic table, Amanda Edwards, 21, said the last time she did any real travel was in eighth grade, when her class visited Washington, D.C. "Since we passed Maryland, every step I take is the furthest north I've ever been," she said. After graduating in December from Georgia Southern University, Edwards said, "I wanted to do something hard, something I wasn't sure I could finish." Her trail name, "Jukebox," comes from her singing. Climbing Kuwohi Mountain in the Smokies, she sang songs from Sweeney Todd. Also known as Clingmans Dome, the 6,644-foot peak is the highest point on the trail. A few miles before reaching the Appalachian Market, Edwards crossed the lowest point, the Bear Mountain Br...

Eric Thompson interviews D.J. Farris of Nashville, Tennessee, who shares the mindset shift that led to his first $100,000 month after nearly 20 years in real estate. While D.J. had experienced success throughout his career, he realized he had never fully committed to becoming the best Realtor he could be. Instead, he viewed real estate as something temporary while waiting for "something bigger." Everything changed at the beginning of 2026. Through Ninja 90 and coaching with Steve Mandelson, D.J. embraced a new identity, committed fully to his business, and eliminated distractions that diluted his focus. Rather than chasing new tactics, he doubled down on the fundamentals: his hot and warm list, consistent Ninja Nine activities, and staying intentional with the people already in his world. The result was not only a dramatic increase in income but also a greater sense of purpose and confidence. D.J.'s story is a reminder that sustainable growth often begins with a shift in mindset rather than a new strategy. When he stopped waiting for his ship to come in and fully embraced his role as a professional Realtor, his business followed. Key Takeaways Lasting business growth begins with a shift in identity and commitment. Coaching provides accountability, clarity, and confidence to reach the next level. The hot and warm list is one of the most powerful drivers of consistent business. Eliminate distractions so you can focus on your highest-value activities. The Ninja Nine works when executed consistently with intention. Asking for help is often the breakthrough that unlocks new levels of success. Memorable Quotes "I quit waiting for my ship to come in." "I wanted to leave nothing in the tank for 2026." "I've stopped dating real estate and started marrying it." "It doesn't have to be that hard." "I finally believed I was capable of more."

Codependency can be tricky to recognize because it often looks like love, generosity, or “just trying to help.” But when our giving turns into fixing, rescuing, controlling, or sacrificing ourselves to earn love and approval, it can quietly create tension in our marriage, parenting, co-parenting, and stepfamily relationships.In this episode, we're joined by therapist Michelle Farris for a practical and hope-filled conversation about how codependency shows up in blended families and how to heal it. Michelle is a psychotherapist, codependency expert, and anger management specialist with a passion for helping people break free from toxic relationships. Her YouTube channel has over 3 million viewers, where she's known for her practical tips and expertise. She's written several ebooks and courses for creating relationships that work. Michelle helps us understand the difference between healthy care and over-functioning, why some parents struggle when their kids are hurting or moving between homes, and how our desire to protect or please can sometimes blur important relational boundaries.We also talk honestly about how codependency can impact the parenting partnership in a blended family. When a bio-parent feels caught between their child and spouse, the pressure can intensify. When a stepparent feels responsible for things they don't have authority over, resentment sets in. But there is a healthier way forward. Michelle shares how couples can take small steps toward clearer boundaries, stronger self-awareness, and more secure connection without becoming rigid, reactive, or disconnected.If you've ever felt responsible for keeping everyone okay, struggled to set limits with your kids or ex, or wondered why you feel resentful after “helping,” this conversation will give you language, clarity, and hope.You'll Discover:The difference between being kind and being codependent How codependency can show up with your children, with an ex, or inside your marriage How over-functioning, fixing, rescuing, controlling, and people-pleasing can create ongoing resentment and disable others How to identify your non-negotiable boundaries without becoming rigid or reactive Three key areas of codependency and how you can move toward relational health and wellnessResources from this Episode:To connect with Michelle Farris, CLICK HERE Michelle's free guide: 7 Steps to Healing One Sided RelationshipsRelationships That Work with Michelle Farris (YouTube)Episode 138.

I sat down with Wren Farris (Season 6, Episode 2) to talk about money mistakes. Money mistakes can mean LOTS of things, like not separating your personal and business expenses, underpricing your services, not setting aside money for taxes. I thought that was the conversation we're having, but something completely unexpected came up, and you can detect the exact moment it occurred. When we actually dropped in and started talking, we landed on a HUGE money leak for women, especially. This cost of this mistake is so much more than money, so do your heart a favor and tune in.

The Power of a Breakthrough - Clem Farris by GraceLife Church
In this episode, Karen explores a powerful and often misunderstood emotion: anger—and how to navigate it during divorce without shutting down or exploding. Anger is a natural and expected part of divorce, yet many people were never taught how to work with it in a healthy way. Instead, they may react impulsively, suppress their feelings to avoid conflict, or carry lingering resentment long after the divorce is final. Karen is joined by Michelle Farris, a psychotherapist, codependency expert, and anger management specialist, for a grounded and insightful conversation about the role anger plays during divorce. Together, they unpack why so many people feel ashamed of their anger, how people-pleasing and codependency complicate emotional expression, and the critical difference between feeling anger and acting from it. This episode reframes anger not as something to fear or avoid, but as a valuable source of information—one that, when understood and processed effectively, can lead to greater clarity, stronger boundaries, and meaningful healing. Listeners will gain practical tools to help process anger without escalating conflict, honor their emotions without losing themselves, and shift from reactive patterns into more intentional responses.

Imagine what it would be like to create healthy relationships without sacrificing ourselves as women. That is exactly what Michelle Farris helps women do. Michelle is a psychotherapist and codependency expert, and this conversation goes deep fast. She brings both the clinical knowledge and the lived experience of someone who has done her own recovery work, and honestly, we could not have been more in sync. Codependency is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot, and yet so many women are still walking around not fully recognizing themselves in it. At its core, it is what happens when someone hyperfocuses on helping, fixing, and controlling others in hopes of getting the love and validation that cannot be given to themselves. So externally focused that the magnifying glass never turns into the mirror. And if the focus is always on someone else, there is no reason to look inward. This conversation gets into what codependency actually is, why naming it is not a disservice but a necessity, and what it really takes to start building a relationship with yourself when the focus has been on everyone else for as long as anyone can remember. Codependency recovery is not about fixing anyone else. It is about finally turning the focus inward. Knowing something is wrong is just the beginning. Finding yourself again is the work. What you'll hear about in this episode: What codependency actually is and why helping, fixing, and controlling are not the same as loving (2:10) Why getting targeted support for codependency and divorce separately actually matters (8:06) Labeling codependency as a "disservice to women": Michelle explains why the problem has to be named before healing can begin (9:45) How Michelle works with women who in codependency recovery and what that process looks like (23:55) How codependency directly impacts divorce outcomes and the ability to advocate for yourself (30:51) Why wrapping yourself in the identity of mother can become its own way of avoiding recovery and what it does to your kids (32:23) Boundaries, what they actually are, why they feel impossible at first, and how to start small (37:51) Learn more about Michelle Farris: Michelle Farris is a psychotherapist, codependency expert, and anger management specialist with a passion for helping people break free from toxic relationship patterns. She's been featured in top online publications and podcasts and has reached over 3 million viewers on her YouTube channel, where she's known for giving relationship skills that work.

This week I'm welcoming back Pinterest marketing expert Heather Farris to the podcast for a conversation about what's really happening on Pinterest right now, especially if you sell physical products. Heather first joined me back on episode 385 where she shared some incredibly practical strategies for product-based brands that are using Pinterest to drive traffic and sales. A lot has changed since then, particularly with Pinterest rolling out more AI-driven tools and features. In this episode, Heather breaks down what's actually new, what's just a rebrand, and what product-based businesses should be paying attention to right now. We talk about tools like the new Pinterest Assistant, the growing influence of generative AI on the platform, and what all of this means for brands that make handmade or small batch products. Heather also shares how businesses can stand out when so much content online is starting to look and feel AI generated. You'll hear practical advice on getting started with Pinterest, optimizing your product listings, tapping into trends, and using the platform in a way that actually supports your sales. If you've been wondering whether Pinterest is still worth your time, or if you're adapting to all the new AI changes, this conversation will give you some clarity. Today's episode is brought to you by our Proof to Product LABS coaching program. LABS is where product-based business owners come to get support with real decisions behind growing their business. We're talking sales, marketing, operations, and just being in community with other people who understand what you're going through. Inside of LABS, we do talk about things like using Pinterest to drive direct-to-consumer sales, building out welcome sequence sequences for your emails, cleaning up your bookkeeping systems, and a whole lot more. Plus, you'll find us doing website audits, peer masterminds, and coaching calls with me. Join us!

If you listened to our full episode on the Gary Farris murder earlier this week, you got the whole story. The life, the marriage, the murder, the trial, the verdict. But this episode isn't a recap. This is The Redacted Report, and we're going deep into the lesser-known, verified details that most people never heard about.We break down how a three-hundred-pound man was reduced to just thirty-three pounds of remains on that burn pile, and what that destruction meant for the forensic team trying to build a murder case. We dig into the crime scene details that flew under the radar, including the smell of citronella and tire marks found near the smoldering pile, the nine separate DNA swab points collected from a Kubota tractor, and the fact that despite blood being found throughout the house, not a single drop was recovered at the burn pile itself.We cover the revolver a former daughter-in-law said Melody once showed her inside a basement credenza drawer, and the stunning moment mid-trial when a cousin called the sheriff's office to report a thirty-eight Special missing from her home after watching testimony on Court TV.We get into Scott Farris blaming his mother within thirteen minutes of law enforcement arriving, his six separate 911 calls on Melody in the year between the murder and the arrest, and the paramedic who recalled Scott telling her he knew what a burned body looked like from his service in Iraq. We explore the secret beach trip Gary was planning without Melody's knowledge, Gary's own legal assistant testifying that the couple's marriage was visibly crumbling from the outside, and the revelation that Rusty Barton was dating another woman in Tennessee while carrying on his affair with Melody. We also cover the gunshot-decibel test investigators conducted by firing a thirty-eight caliber pistol at a mannequin, a juror's chilling theory that Melody marched Gary to the burn pile at gunpoint, and the fact that Gary Farris didn't receive a proper memorial until seven years after his death.Every detail in this episode is sourced from trial testimony, court records, and verified press reporting. No fiction. No speculation. Just the facts they left out of the headlines.If you're drawn to real criminal investigations, cold cases, and the details that don't always make it into the official report, make sure you're following The Guilty Files wherever you listen.Turn on automatic downloads so you never miss an episode — because each case unfolds in two parts, and the truth is rarely found in just one.If you value careful analysis, real law enforcement insight, and true crime without the sensationalism, consider leaving a five-star rating and written review.It helps more than you know and allows us to keep bringing these case files to light.Until next time —The facts matter.The details matter.And the truth is often redacted.
WWL Louisiana Medical Reporter Meg Farris explains more about Scoot's upcoming heart surgery, and what others can learn from his experience
He was a small-town kid from Tuscumbia, Alabama, who dreamed of becoming a lawyer and made it all the way to the top. Gary Wayne Farris built a thirty-year legal career, raised four children, and settled his family on a stunning ten-acre farm in Cherokee County, Georgia.His grandchildren called him "Big Daddy," and he was the kind of man who'd hand you his credit card before you even finished asking for help.But behind the beautiful farmhouse on Purcell Lane, a thirty-eight-year marriage was rotting from the inside out. Secret affairs. Financial warfare. A wife who texted a friend that she hoped her husband would die "alone and a gruesome death."And a family so fractured that when the unthinkable finally happened, a mother and her own son would point fingers at each other across a courtroom.On July 5, 2018, Gary's remains were found smoldering in a burn pile a hundred yards from his home. What started as a possible accident became a murder investigation the moment a .38 caliber bullet was found lodged in his rib cage. The gun was never recovered. The body was burned beyond recognition.And everyone in the family had a reason to want Big Daddy's money.In this episode, we cover the full story — Gary's rise from a middle-class Alabama household to managing partner at one of the South's most respected law firms, the slow collapse of his marriage to Melody Walker Farris, her affairs with at least two men, the damning cell phone evidence that placed her alone on the property when Gary's phone was moving between the house and the burn pile, and the chilling phone call where she told her lover "he's on the burn pile" before anyone had even discovered the body.We walk through the nearly year-long investigation, Melody's arrest in Tennessee where she'd fled to be with her boyfriend, the five-year wait for trial, and the explosive eighteen-day courtroom battle in October 2024 where the prosecution called thirty-six witnesses and introduced over twelve hundred pieces of evidence.We break down the defense's case that son Scott Farris was the real killer, the jury's initial deadlock, and the guilty verdict on all five counts that sent Melody Farris to prison for life.This one's got everything — money, betrayal, buried secrets, and a family destroyed beyond repair.If you're drawn to real criminal investigations, cold cases, and the details that don't always make it into the official report, make sure you're following The Guilty Files wherever you listen.Turn on automatic downloads so you never miss an episode — because each case unfolds in two parts, and the truth is rarely found in just one.If you value careful analysis, real law enforcement insight, and true crime without the sensationalism, consider leaving a five-star rating and written review.It helps more than you know and allows us to keep bringing these case files to light.Until next time —The facts matter.The details matter.And the truth is often redacted.

Susan and Michelle unpack the patterns of overgiving, overfunctioning, and self-sacrifice that leave so many people depleted and resentful, often without fully understanding why.

Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to say "no" or set a boundary without feeling a wave of guilt? What if finding your voice and reclaiming your self-trust is the key to the healthy, connected relationships you've always wanted? In this episode of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities, Dr. Adriana Popescu is joined by Michelle Farris, a psychotherapist and expert in codependency and anger management. This episode is a dive deep into the patterns of people-pleasing and the underlying struggle for self-worth that often drives codependent behavior. Michelle also shares her professional and personal journey—from an 11-year-old seeking her own healing to a seasoned clinician—to explain how codependency is often a survival strategy rooted in childhood. Together, they explore the vital difference between helping and enabling, the role of suppressed anger as a messenger, and the practical "how-to" of setting boundaries without the crushing weight of guilt. This conversation is an invitation to stop managing everyone else's "internal weather" and finally reclaim your own self-trust and agency. In this episode: Defining Codependency: Understanding it as a loss of self and an over-focus on others. The Power of Boundaries: Learning how to say "no" as a form of self-respect rather than a rejection of others. Anger as a Signal: Exploring how suppressed emotions often manifest as resentment or outbursts. The Journey to Self-Trust: Practical steps to stop seeking external validation and start trusting your own gut.

Have you noticed that when anyone talks about marketing, your brain immediately goes to social media? And does the thought of that totally kill the vibe? What if you could build a brand that made social media completely optional? Because with social media becoming increasingly surveilled and algorithmically manipulated, many people are looking for decentralized alternatives to share their souls' work. The good news is, regardless of how you market, 88% of ALL business revenue still comes through word of mouth. And that's what this episode is all about. I invited Wren Farris, founder and CEO of a 7-figure, top-of-class saltwater bathhouse called Soak on the Sound. She also works as a consultant for women to turn what she calls 'The Thing You Can't Not Do" Into aligned businesses of their own. Wren, like myself, believes that more money in the hands of matriarchs builds healthier and wealthier communities. In this episode, we talk about -how visibility is not limited to online presence -time spent in the business vs. on your business -basic business principles that are timeless Wren even puts me in the hot seat with my own in-person business ideas that I'm playing with right now, which I will be implementing in the next 6 months!

For this week's episode, Mark Meckler is handing the reins of The BattleCry over to Convention of States Co-Founder Michael Farris, J.D. Local Convention of States supporters rallied in Columbus, Ohio, inspired with talks by state legislators and local leaders before Farris takes the podium to deliver the case for COS like only he can. This event occurred October 2025.
The state's motto "To the Stars Through Difficulties" was never more true than with the effort for Kansas to adopt Convention of States Action's Article V application. Learn the incredible efforts it took to make history, as told by the patriots who made it happen. Kansas State Senator Michael Murphy, Regional Director Deanna Becket, State Director David Copeland, Legislative Liaison Ben Terrill, and David Schneider join a jam-packed panel along with constitutional attorney Michael Farris. Farris is the Co-Founder and Senior Advisor for Convention of States, legal champion of the homeschool movement, and a 10-time winner at the Supreme Court level. He successfully litigated the case that paved the way for Kansas to become state #20. Minutemen Mailbag Watch COS at Home
