More than 100 research studies show that soybeans typically suffer from a nitrogen gap when yields exceed 60 bu/ac. At that yield level, the combination of soil nitrogen and nodulation often doesn’t provide what the plant requires to achieve higher yields. Could biologicals — including nitrogen-fixing endophytes and biostimulants — fill that “yield gap” and... Read More
In Episode 16 of The No Treason Podcast, host Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's Trial by Jury, focusing on the historical role of juries as true courts of conscience. The episode explores how Anglo-Saxon legal systems decentralized power, placing judgment not in the hands of monarchs or professional elites, but in the people themselves. Jonathan walks through historical sources showing that juries judged both fact and law according to natural equity, not royal statutes, and examines how judges originally served as advisers rather than authorities. The discussion highlights how this structure acted as a safeguard against tyranny and why modern legal systems have drifted so far from this model. By tracing the evolution of jury power, this episode underscores the central argument that liberty is preserved not through elections or written laws alone, but through active participation by informed citizens exercising moral judgment.

On this episode of the podcast, ER physician and healthcare entrepreneur Dr. Ron Elfenbein joins the show to tell a story few Americans have heard from the inside.During the height of COVID-19, Dr. Elfenbein helped source PPE, designed intubation boxes, and worked to distribute monoclonal antibody treatments when hospitals were overwhelmed and options were limited. But after publicly criticizing the Biden Administration's decision to halt monoclonal antibodies and questioning vaccine mandates, Dr. Elfenbein found himself under federal indictment for healthcare fraud — charges stemming from billing disputes he says were selectively and politically pursued.After a grueling trial, a District Court acquitted him due to insufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict. But despite that acquittal, the weaponized Department of Justice has appealed the case, forcing Dr. Elfenbein back into court this August.If you would like to follow Dr. Elfenbein on X you can do so by searching for his handle: @RonElfenbeinMD.

A Texas jury delivered a not‑guilty verdict for former Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzales, clearing him of all 29 counts of child abandonment or endangerment tied to the Robb Elementary School shooting. Jurors deliberated just over seven hours before unanimously acquitting him. Gonzales, one of the first officers on scene, was accused of failing to confront the gunman and protect students during the 77‑minute delay in law enforcement’s response. Prosecutors argued he ignored active‑shooter training, while the defense said he was unfairly scapegoated for a broader systemic failure.

Guest: Brenda Wineapple. The defense suffered a major setback when the judge ruled that their scientific experts could not testify before the jury, forcing them to read affidavits into the record instead. H.L. Mencken, the acerbic journalist who dubbed the event the "Monkey Trial," covered the proceedings. Sympathetic to Darrow and critical of Bryan's"fanatic" views, Mencken influenced public perception, though the jury remained shielded from the scientific evidence the defense hoped to present.1960 FREDERIC MARCH AS WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN "INHERIT THE WIND"

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Kouri Richins is set to stand trial in February 2026 for the alleged fentanyl murder of her husband Eric Richins, and this week Judge Richard Mrazik handed down a cascade of pre-trial rulings that reshape everything. The prosecution wanted to paint Kouri as a woman who ran financial schemes for years before allegedly escalating to murder — but the judge just severed those fraud and forgery charges from the murder trial entirely. The jury won't hear them. The domestic violence expert prosecutors wanted to call? Barred. The FBI behavioral profiler? Severely limited. But the handwriting expert who says Kouri allegedly forged Eric's signature on insurance documents? He's in. The orange notebook containing what prosecutors call Kouri's firsthand account of the night Eric died? Conditionally admitted. The "Walk the Dog" letter found in her jail cell? Partially in. This episode breaks down every ruling from this week's hearings, what each one means for trial strategy, and how the battlefield has now been defined for both sides. We'll walk through the Valentine's Day sandwich allegation, the Moscow Mule, the $1.8 million debt versus the $5 million estate, the key witness who recanted, and why prosecutors are heading into this trial with a tighter case than they wanted. Jury selection begins February 10th. Five weeks of testimony starts February 23rd. Kouri Richins says she didn't do it. Twelve jurors will decide if they believe her.#KouriRichins #EricRichins #TrueCrime #FentanylMurder #UtahMurder #MurderTrial #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeCommunity #JusticeForEric #CourtTVJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

True Crime Today brings you the defense strategy for the most important witness in the Brendan Banfield murder trial. Juliana Peres Magalhaes is the prosecution's case. Without her testimony, they have a forensics expert who contradicted their theory, investigators who were transferred, and 19 months of spinning theories. Defense attorney Bob Motta explains how you destroy her credibility.Juliana spent a year in jail maintaining the same story Brendan told police. Then she flipped. She pleaded to manslaughter. She gets time served. She goes home to Brazil. Her sentencing is scheduled after Banfield's trial — to ensure she continues to cooperate. From jail, she wrote to her mother that she was "heartbroken for doing this to Brendan" and that she loved him.Motta breaks down how you use that letter on cross-examination. He explains how to frame her year-long lie for the jury — is she someone who finally told the truth, or someone who changed lies when the deal was right?The prosecution reduced her charge from second-degree murder to involuntary manslaughter. Motta explains how to make the jury understand the magnitude of what she received in exchange for her testimony.The prosecution is positioning Juliana as a reluctant participant. Motta dismantles that framing. He identifies the biggest mistakes defense attorneys make with cooperating witnesses — and what happens to the state's case if Juliana falls apart on the stand.#BrendanBanfield #JulianaPeresMagalhaes #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #DefenseAttorney #StarWitness #CrossExamination #AuPairMurder #PleaDeal #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The entire case against Brendan Banfield rests on one witness — and we're going LIVE with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer to examine whether the jury should believe a word she says. Juliana Peres Magalhaes was arrested for murder. She sat in jail for a year. She told police the same story Brendan did. Then she flipped, took a plea deal for manslaughter with time served, and agreed to testify against him. She gets to go home to Brazil. Her sentencing happens after Banfield's trial to make sure she cooperates. From jail, she wrote to her mother that she was "heartbroken for doing this to Brendan" and that she loved him — but she wanted to come home. Coffindaffer has spent her FBI career evaluating cooperating witnesses. She knows how to tell when someone is finally telling the truth versus saying whatever gets them out of a cell. Join us live as she breaks down Juliana's credibility, the corroborating evidence prosecutors need, and how the defense will attack her on cross. We're taking your questions and comments. The prosecution says Juliana was reluctant and pressured. The defense says she's a liar buying her freedom. Coffindaffer will tell you what to watch for when she takes the stand.#BrendanBanfield #HiddenKillersLive #JulianaPeresMagalhaes #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBI #AuPairMurder #TrueCrimeLive #StarWitness #LiveStream #TrialWatchJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Gonzales is charged with 29 felony counts of child endangerment for his response to the 2022 Robb Elementary shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead.Gonzales was the first officer on scene.

The trial continues in Corpus Christi.#UvaldeTrial #AdrianGonzales #RobbElementary #Testimony #TrueCrime #Uvalde #SchoolShooting #TexasTrial #Justice #BreakingJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jury selection began today in one of the most consequential police accountability trials in American history. Former Uvalde school police officer Adrian Gonzales is facing 29 felony counts of child endangerment for his response to the Robb Elementary School shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers on May 24, 2022.What makes this case unprecedented: Gonzales was the first law enforcement officer to arrive at Robb Elementary — before the shooter even entered the building. A coach on scene told investigators she pointed toward the gunman and begged Gonzales to stop him. According to CNN's timeline, he had 59 seconds before the shooter walked into the school. He had been through multiple active shooter trainings and had even taught a course titled "Stop the Killing: Solo Response" just two months earlier.According to his own statements to investigators, he never saw the shooter, never fired, and after briefly entering the hallway, stepped outside and "never went back." For 77 minutes, 376 officers from multiple agencies waited while a gunman remained in the classroom. Inside, 10-year-old Khloie Torres called 911 for 46 minutes begging for help.This is the first time a Texas officer has been prosecuted under this child endangerment statute for alleged inaction during a school shooting. The only comparable case — Parkland resource officer Scot Peterson — ended in acquittal in 2023.Gonzales has pleaded not guilty. His defense says he helped evacuate children. The families say he's a coward. Today, a jury begins deciding whether failure to act is a crime.#UvaldeTrial #AdrianGonzales #RobbElementary #TrueCrimeToday #BreakingNews #Uvalde #SchoolShooting #TexasTrial #Justice #PoliceTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
January 5th, 2026 was supposed to be the day. Jury selection in the Sarah Grace Patrick case. Instead, the trial was delayed seven months to August 3rd — and it was the prosecution, not the defense, that drove the delay.Sarah Grace Patrick is the 17-year-old Georgia teen charged as an adult with murdering her mother Kristin Brock and stepfather James Brock. They were shot in their bed in February 2025. When Sarah was arrested five months later, authorities announced they had "mountains of evidence" against her. But what have they actually shown us?No murder weapon recovered. No forensic evidence publicly disclosed. No gun found at the scene. The prosecution has made claims in court filings about cameras being disabled before the shooting — but those are allegations, not proven facts. Meanwhile, Sarah's social media activity has been treated like a smoking gun simply because people don't understand how teenagers communicate in 2025.On January 5th, the defense had their neuropsychologist evaluation ready. The state said they needed time to review and rebut. The judge — who specifically told prosecutors back in December to let him know if they needed more time — granted the delay.Sarah's grandfather Dennis Nolan continues to maintain her innocence. He says there's no physical evidence tying her to the murders. He says investigators haven't produced the weapon. And he says her first call from jail was desperate: "What are they doing to me? Why are they doing this? I didn't do anything."Is she guilty? Is she innocent? We don't know. But we do know this: prosecutors who have mountains of evidence don't need seven-month delays to go to trial.#SarahGracePatrick #CarrollCountyMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #GeorgiaCrime #KristinBrock #JamesBrock #MurderTrial #TrialDelayed #Evidence #ProsecutionJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down the disturbing backstory behind the upcoming trial of Brendan Banfield, a former federal investigator accused of orchestrating the murders of his wife, Christine Banfield, and a man named Joseph Ryan inside their Fairfax County, Virginia home.Prosecutors allege Banfield carried out the killings with the help of the family's live-in au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, with whom he was having an affair. According to the state, the pair used an online fetish website and encrypted messaging to lure Ryan to the home under the guise of a consensual encounter — a plan that allegedly ended in murder and a staged crime scene.This episode covers:The alleged affair and digital trailClaims of long-term planningWhat happened the morning of the murdersConflicting detective theoriesJuliana's plea deal and cooperationInternal police disputes and prosecutorial issuesWhat to watch for as the trial beginsBrendan Banfield has pleaded not guilty and faces life in prison without parole if convicted.

Air Date: 1/3/2026 Imperialism is best thought of as a "Wealth Pump," extracting wealth from one country and depositing it in another. Venezuela has wealth and wealth is the only thing Trump cares about, his willingness to break his promise of being the peace president and go along with traditional Republican hawks is not a complicated mystery.
