The Trump-appointed board of the Kennedy Center has sent a scathing letter with notice of a forthcoming million dollar lawsuit to the lead jazz musician who canceled a decades long Christmas Eve concert in protest of the decision to put President Trump’s name on the building. Meantime, a member of Congress has now sued the Trump administration for what she calls the illegal name change and two other members of Congress have introduced legislation to try and prevent a sitting president from naming any Federal asset after themselves.

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice publicly acknowledged that it had made “mistakes” in its handling of Jeffrey Epstein's survivors, particularly in connection with the 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement in Florida. Federal officials conceded that prosecutors failed to properly notify victims about the deal and misled them about the status of the case, violations that ran afoul of the Crime Victims' Rights Act. The admission followed years of litigation brought by survivors who argued they were deliberately kept in the dark while Epstein secured an extraordinary plea agreement that shielded him from federal prosecution at the time.The DOJ's acknowledgment came after a federal judge ruled that prosecutors had indeed violated victims' rights, forcing the department to publicly reckon with its conduct. While officials expressed regret and described the failures as institutional errors, the admission stopped short of disciplinary action against those involved or a broader accounting of how the deal was approved. For survivors and their advocates, the statement underscored a painful reality: that the justice system not only failed to stop Epstein earlier, but also compounded the harm by excluding victims from decisions that directly affected their safety and legal rights.to  contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

We begin the first hour with Dan Cook filling in for Jason DeRusha on this Friday after Christmas Day with a discussion on how to best address the holiday season, then we skate on over to the hockey rink to talk World Juniors with Wendy Blackshaw of the Minnesota Sports and Events and we also talk about what qualifies as a federal holiday!

Behind the scenes of 2025's biggest federal decisions shaping access, seasons, and the future of hunting and fishing. As the final feature episode of 2025, this conversation takes a clear-eyed look at how federal policy quietly shaped the year for hunters, anglers, and public-land users nationwide. Host Fred Bird sits down with Chris Horton, Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation Sr. Director of Fisheries Policy, to unpack the legislative wins, hard-fought battles, and unfinished business that directly affect how and where we hunt and fish. The discussion starts with the MAPWaters Act, landmark legislation headed to the President's desk that brings long-overdue clarity to public water access. From waterfowl hunting access points to inland fishing regulations, standardized digital maps will help sportsmen understand where they can launch, hunt, and fish without guesswork or accidental violations. The conversation then moves offshore, where progress on MAPOceans promises similar clarity for saltwater anglers navigating seasons, closures, and marine boundaries. Get an insider breakdown of fisheries management victories, including momentum toward better red snapper data collection in the South Atlantic, and the decision to hold the line on striped bass restrictions amid strong rebuilding trends. These aren't abstract policy debates, they determine season length, access, and opportunity for recreational anglers. The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation crew also highlights key reauthorizations that protect wetland habitat, support fisheries conservation funding, and safeguard science-based management. Finally, Chris looks ahead to 2026, outlining what hunters and anglers should watch as Congress returns to work.

Federal officials disclosed that more than one million previously unidentified documents tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation were recently located, dramatically expanding the known universe of Epstein-related records. According to the Department of Justice, the files were discovered during a broader records review involving the FBI and federal prosecutors, after Congress had already mandated the release of Epstein materials under new transparency legislation. The DOJ said the size and scope of the newly found cache forced a pause in the release timeline, as attorneys must now determine what falls within the law, what can legally be disclosed, and what must be redacted—particularly material involving victims, sealed proceedings, or sensitive investigative information.The revelation immediately fueled skepticism and backlash, especially from Epstein survivors and transparency advocates who argue the discovery raises serious questions about how such a massive volume of material went unaccounted for in the first place. Critics say the announcement reinforces long-standing concerns that Epstein's case has been mishandled, slow-walked, or fragmented across agencies for decades, allowing crucial evidence to remain buried. Rather than reassuring the public, the sudden emergence of over a million files has intensified demands for oversight, hearings, and independent review, with many questioning whether the delay is a logistical reality—or yet another chapter in the ongoing failure to fully confront the Epstein network and its institutional protectors.to  contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In an industry as unpredictable as agriculture, having a safety net isn't just a luxury, it’s a necessity. But what happens to that net when the government shuts down, or when a massive hurricane levels a season's work? Today, we’re sitting down with Tom Zacharias, President of National Crop Insurance Services. We talk about the 'shot in the arm' provided by the One Big Beautiful Bill, and why American farmers lean on crop insurance to protect their livelihood.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta quarta-feira (24):Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) detalhou a situação de saúde do presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), que passa por um procedimento cirúrgico na manhã de Natal. Flávio afirmou que não havia motivos para adiar a intervenção, necessária para corrigir sequelas antigas. O senador destacou a importância da recuperação do pai e agradeceu o apoio dos eleitores, enquanto a Polícia Federal acompanha o deslocamento hospitalar de forma discreta conforme determinação judicial. O Natal do brasileiro em 2025 chega com o gosto amargo da inflação descontrolada. Itens essenciais da ceia, como o peru e o arroz, registraram altas de até 50% sob o governo de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). Enquanto o Palácio do Planalto celebra recordes de arrecadação, o cidadão comum vê seu poder de compra ser destruído pelo aumento de impostos e pela má gestão econômica de Fernando Haddad (PT-SP). O governo de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) oficializou o novo salário mínimo para 2026 com um aumento real de apenas R$ 103. O reajuste de 6,87% leva o piso nacional para R$ 1.515, mas o valor é visto com ceticismo diante da explosão nos preços dos alimentos. Com a inflação da ceia de Natal batendo recordes, o acréscimo anunciado pela equipe de Fernando Haddad (PT-SP) mal cobre a alta do custo de vida imposta pela atual gestão. O Ministério Público Federal (MPF) encerrou 2025 com um balanço expressivo: mais de R$ 28 bilhões em pedidos de bloqueio de bens contra o crime organizado. Ao longo do ano, foram deflagradas diversas operações que resultaram em prisões e denúncias contra mais de 900 pessoas. As ações focaram no asfixiamento financeiro de facções envolvidas em lavagem de dinheiro e tráfico internacional, visando desarticular o poder logístico desses grupos. A tensão interna no PL subiu de tom após um assessor de Michelle Bolsonaro (PL-DF) endossar críticas contra o senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ). O movimento acontece em meio a divergências sobre os rumos da oposição para 2026. Enquanto Flávio busca consolidar sua candidatura, o embate público sugere que a ala de Michelle pode exigir mais protagonismo, evidenciando uma disputa silenciosa pelo espólio político de Jair Bolsonaro (PL-RJ).

In today's episode, David McKnight breaks down the creditor protection rules for Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s, as well as why more and more Americans are turning to tax-free accounts to insulate themselves from creditors… and the Government itself. In theory, under Federal Law, all IRAs traditional or Roths receive a certain level of bankruptcy protection under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. However, that protection is specifically tied to bankruptcy proceedings. If you're sued in civil court, the Federal bankruptcy statute doesn't automatically apply, state law takes over… By pointing out differences between states like Texas, Arizona and Florida on one end, and California and Montana on the other, David explains that whether your Roth IRA survives a potential lawsuit intact depends largely on the state in which you reside. Roth 401(k)s play by a different set of rules, as they fall under the 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). David notes that "ERISA is the big Federal law that governs most employer-sponsored retirement plans, and it comes with some of the strongest creditor  protection available anywhere in the financial world."  According to David, it's not hard to see why the Federal Government is going to need huge infusions of new revenue in the very near future. Wondering how they will be raising that capital? By targeting the nearly $45 trillion in tax-deferred retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k). In other words, while your retirement accounts may indeed be largely immune to lawsuits, they're entirely exposed to the impact of rising tax rates. David points out that contributing to 401(k)s or IRAs is like going into a business partnership with the IRS – every year, they get to vote on what percentage of your profits they get to keep. Remember: a well-planned Roth strategy doesn't just shield you from tomorrow's higher tax rates, it can also serve as a fortress protecting your wealth from outside claims.     Mentioned in this episode: David's new book, available now for pre-order: The Secret Order of Millionaires David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement by David McKnight DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta terça-feira (23):As novas pesquisas eleitorais de dezembro mostram um cenário de guerra aberta para 2026. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) lidera a rejeição com 44%, enquanto Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) aparece com 38%, mas enfrenta dificuldades para herdar os votos de Jair Bolsonaro (PL-RJ). O alto índice de desaprovação de ambos os lados pode minar as candidaturas e abrir espaço para nomes como Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP), que mantém a menor rejeição entre os presidenciáveis. A "saidinha" de Natal de 2025 já começou e deve colocar mais de 30 mil detentos nas ruas apenas no estado de São Paulo. Entre os beneficiados estão nomes condenados por crimes de grande repercussão, como Lindemberg Alves. A medida ocorre sob forte tensão política, já que o Congresso derrubou o veto de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) à proibição das saídas, mas decisões do STF e portarias do TJSP mantiveram o benefício para quem já cumpria pena. O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) assinou o decreto de indulto de Natal de 2025 mantendo a exclusão explícita de condenados pelos atos de 8 de janeiro. A medida concede perdão de pena para diversos crimes, mas barra qualquer benefício aos manifestantes de Brasília, reforçando o que a oposição chama de perseguição política. O decreto ignora pedidos humanitários e consolida a postura de punição rigorosa adotada pelo governo em parceria com o STF. A insistência de Carlos Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) em disputar o Senado por Santa Catarina gerou um racha profundo na base aliada e ameaça os planos presidenciais de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ). O movimento atropela lideranças locais como Caroline de Toni (PL-SC) e provoca a fúria do Centrão, que já aposta na desistência de Flávio da corrida ao Planalto. Aliados temem que a "federalização" da família nas urnas gere isolamento político e abra caminho para nomes como Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos-SP). Os Correios enfrentam uma crise sem precedentes com atrasos generalizados nas entregas de fim de ano. A direção da estatal, sob influência do governo de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), condiciona a volta da normalidade a um empréstimo bilionário de R$ 12 bilhões. O cenário de ineficiência e rombo financeiro reacende o debate sobre a privatização da empresa, enquanto o contribuinte paga a conta da má gestão e do aparelhamento político na companhia. O presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) recebeu autorização judicial para realizar uma cirurgia de correção durante o feriado de Natal. A Polícia Federal foi designada para realizar o transporte e garantir a segurança do mandatário, devendo atuar de "maneira discreta" para evitar aglomerações e manifestações. O procedimento é necessário para tratar sequelas do atentado sofrido em 2018, enquanto aliados criticam as restrições impostas à sua liberdade de locomoção.Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency would be required to create a universal disaster assistance application under a bill passed by the Senate last week. The goal of the Disaster Assistance Simplification Act is to make it easier for disaster survivors to access federal aid. Lawmakers say the current process is complex and time consuming, with different agencies using different forms. The bill would also require all information shared between FEMA and partner agencies to meet federal data security standards.

A federal grand jury has indicted Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller on charges of cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators — charges directly connected to the death of his wife Mica Miller, who was found dead from a gunshot wound in April 2024. But Mica isn't the only spouse linked to this man who's no longer alive. According to court documents, Chris Skinner — a quadriplegic Army veteran — drowned in a neighborhood pool in 2021 just two weeks after confronting Miller about an alleged affair with his wife. That woman, Suzie Skinner, is now married to JP Miller. The federal indictment alleges Miller engaged in a sustained harassment campaign against Mica from November 2022 until her death. Prosecutors say he posted intimate photos of her online without consent, placed tracking devices on her vehicle, contacted her over fifty times in a single day, and lied to federal investigators about damaging her tires. This comes on top of two civil lawsuits filed in 2025 accusing Miller of sexually assaulting minors in the late 1990s. Both lawsuits also name his father, Reginald Wayne Miller, and allege the family's churches operated without safeguards and enabled abuse for decades. Mica's family has never accepted the official suicide ruling. Her sister testified under oath that Mica told her: "If I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not by me, it was JP." Miller's arraignment is set for January 12, 2026. He faces up to seven years in federal prison if convicted. In this episode, we break down the federal indictment, the documented pattern of alleged abuse, the sexual assault lawsuits, the other suspicious death, and everything that led to this moment. #MicaMiller #JPMiller #JusticeForMica #TrueCrime #SolidRockChurch #MyrtleBeach #FederalIndictment #CoerciveControl #ChrisSkinner #CrimePsych Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Federal contracts aren't won by chasing contracting officers or blindly responding to solicitations—they're captured by getting to the customer first. In this episode, Ryan Atencio explains how large integrators lock in work by identifying key stakeholders, shaping requirements early, and turning services and supplies into unbeatable solutions. From becoming an "unbeatable incumbent" to using custom kits, access control strategies, and technical point-of-contact leverage, this episode reveals how contracts are quietly secured long before competition ever begins.

Convidada: Vera Magalhães, colunista do jornal O Globo, âncora na rádio CBN e apresentadora do programa Roda Viva, da TV Cultura. Um dos últimos projetos aprovados no ano pelo Senado foi o que reduz as penas dos condenados pelos atos golpistas de 8 de janeiro: o PL da Dosimetria. Um dos beneficiados é o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, preso na Superintendência da Polícia Federal desde novembro. O presidente Lula disse que vai vetar o texto, medida que pode ser derrubada pelo Congresso e ainda ser questionada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal. É um longo processo que expõe o embate entre os Poderes visto ao longo do ano. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com a jornalista Vera Magalhães para fazer um balanço do que foi 2025 na política. Vera analisa por que o Congresso avançou sobre a dosimetria das penas tão pouco tempo depois das condenações determinadas pelo Supremo. Ela avalia também a postura da Câmara, que terminou o ano sob a liderança fragilizada de Hugo Motta, em meio a baixa produtividade legislativa e cenas inéditas de violência. Por fim, Natuza e Vera discutem o que esperar de 2026. Vera traça o cenário eleitoral depois da prisão de Jair Bolsonaro, da indicação de Flávio Bolsonaro como herdeiro político do bolsonarismo e da recuperação de Lula após o enfrentamento do tarifaço. Quais são as fragilidades e os trunfos de cada campo às vésperas de um novo ano eleitoral?

Millions of dollars for homeless services in Minnesota are up in the air after the Trump  administration proposed changing the rules for housing programs that helped people get off the streets.   The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development plans to shift money away from long-term housing programs that provide services.   Instead, more federal money would go toward breaking up homeless encampments and to short-term shelters with work requirements and mandatory addiction treatment.  Critics warn this could force thousands of Minnesotans back into living in their cars, onto friends' couches or onto the streets — including people who have relied on supportive housing for years.On Dec. 19. a judge temporarily halted the administration's proposals, creating more uncertainty. MPR News guest host Catharine Richert talks with her guests about what helps people move into permanent homes and how federal policy shifts could affect Minnesotans. Guests: Chris LaTondresse is the president and CEO of Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, one of Minnesota's largest nonprofit providers of supportive housing for families, single adults and youth who have experienced homelessness. He previously served as a Hennepin County Commissioner and chaired the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. LeAnn Littlewolf is the executive director of the American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO) in Duluth. The nonprofit organization runs Gimaajii Mino-Bimaadizimin, a community center with supportive housing for women and children. She is a member of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and previously worked with the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless.

NULLIFICATION AND THE WEAPONIZATION OF IMPEACHMENT Colleague Victor Davis Hanson. The discussion covers modern "nullification," where jurisdictions like sanctuary cities deliberately ignore federal immigration laws, creating a dangerous legal asymmetry. Hanson also argues that the impeachment process has been distorted into a political tool used to punish first-term presidents who lose congressional majorities, rather than for genuine high crimes. He contends that the dual impeachment of Donald Trump set a destructive precedent that effectively nullifies the electoral will of the citizenry. NUMBER 6

[Non-Paywall Source and Media Spin] President Trump has been cutting waste, fraud and abuse in runaway government spending; slashing costly regulations across all sectors of the economy and ending Green New Scam energy policy in favor of drill, baby, drill.  As noted by NEC Chairman Kevin Hasset, Trump has reduced deficit spending overall.

Turns out rank-and-file FBI investigators thought there was enough smoke to launch a criminal investigation, but internal delays and disagreements within the DOJ and FBI ultimately caused the inquiry to lapse, newly released records reveal.   The Uranium One transaction – involving the sale of a Canadian mining company with substantial U.S. uranium assets to Russia's state-owned nuclear firm Rosatom – became a flashpoint during Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Critics argued that then-Secretary of State Clinton, a member of CFIUS, helped approve the deal while donors connected to Uranium One made large contributions to the Clinton Foundation.  The newly released documents suggest that the circumstances surrounding Uranium One were never fully investigated, leaving unresolved questions about how a strategic U.S. asset came under Russian control – and whether potential criminal conduct went unexamined due to internal delays and legal disputes.

The position may change in the future. Politicians change, some live, some die.” This statement cannot be interpreted in any other way. It refers specifically to Donald Trump and his team, who have consistently and reasonably opposed Ukraine's accession to NATO and the continuation of the war. Zelensky is effectively speaking about the physical elimination of political opponents. I have said this many times before. Zelensky has done and will continue to do everything to destroy Trump and everything associated with him — politically, informationally, and beyond. I have also stated that Zelensky is connected to assassination attempts on Trump and is also involved in the killing of Charlie Kirk. Today, the militant faction of the West reacts painfully to the truth, because this truth destroys their convenient narrative and shows that they are accomplices of a terrorist regime that is prepared to wait for people to die in order to retain power and prolong the war.

There was no “OP” to leak information to retards like Tucker Carlson about war. None of that happened. The Whitehouse has been telling people for 2 days the speech was about the economy.

As President, he passed the highly ineffective ‘Unaffordable’ Care Act, resulting in his party losing control of both Houses of Congress, and the Election of the largest House Republican majority since 1946. He presided over a stagnant Economy, approved the one-sided Iran Nuclear Deal, and signed the one-sided Paris Climate Accords, both of which were later terminated by President Donald J. Trump.” “Under Obama, the ISIS Caliphate spread across the Middle East, Libya collapsed into chaos, and Russia invaded and took Crimea. In Ukraine. He crippled small businesses with crushing regulation and environmental red tape, devastated American coal miners, and weaponized the IRS and Federal bureaucracies against his political opponents. Obama also spied over the 2016 Presidential Campaign of Donald J. Trump, and presided over the creation of the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the worst political scandal in American History. His handpicked successor, Hillary Rodham Clinton, would then lose the Presidency to Donald J. Trump.”  JOE BIDEN “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History. Taking office as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States, Biden oversaw a series of unprecedented disasters that brought our Nation to the brink of destruction. His policies caused the highest Inflation ever recorded, leading the U.S. Dollar to lose more than 20% of its value in 4 years. His Green New Scam surrendered American Energy Dominance and, by abolishing the Southern Border, Biden let 21 million people from all over the World pour into the United States, including from prisons, jails, mental institutions, and insane asylums. His Afghan Disaster was among the most humiliating events in American History, and resulted in the murder of 13 brave American Servicemembers, with many others gravely wounded. Seeing Biden’s devastation, the heinous Russia invaded Ukraine, and Hamas terrorists launched the October 7th attack on Israel.” https://twitter.com/DanScavino/status/2001516571106083001?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");
