Today we're discussing the truth many don't want to face: Donald Trump's refusal to release the Epstein list reveals his true character and priorities. This shouldn't even be happening, justice for Epstein's victims should never have been left in the shadows. Yet here we are, forced to keep the pressure on for transparency, knowing full well that even if the list is released now, we cannot trust what we'll actually get. In this episode, we break down what this means for leadership, accountability, and the fight for real justice.

Trump still hasn't released the Epstein client list, the very list he promised to expose during his presidential campaign. He said the swamp would be drained and that the elite pedophiles would face justice. But the victims are still waiting.This isn't oversight. It's betrayal.Why is Trump suddenly acting like an Israeli ambassador? Why are American leaders more loyal to a foreign state than to their own people, and their own children?Justice delayed is justice denied, and we need to keep the pressure on until Trump becomes even more of a "panican" about this.No more Kash Patel. No more hiding behind “ongoing investigations.” No more delays. Fire Pam Bondi and whoever else is obstructing the truth.Epstein's victims deserve justice. And if Trump won't deliver it then, again, we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Since the beginning of COVID, the world has been buried in a landslide of never-ending lies, not just about COVID, but about countless other important topics. And while truth has never been a strong point of world governments, many hoped that with the change in the leadership in United States, truth would prevail. However, it seems the truth is still a casualty of international warfare and the gaslighting is now moving into overdrive. When will there be real justice? Now, do you believe in this ministry?

Today we're talking about what no one else will: The Trump administration has failed to release the Epstein client list — and that's not just a mistake, it's a betrayal. The powerful pedophiles of this world are being shielded, protected, and enabled while children are trafficked and raped.This is what happens when kings fear exposure more than they fear God.We're connecting the dots: Epstein wasn't just a creep with an island — he was part of a global blackmail machine. And it's time we ask why a man with a Jewish surname, operating with international impunity, ended up so close to the Mossad, Israeli intelligence, and foreign interests. Why is Trump suddenly all-in on Israel and Netanyahu? Is it coincidence… or is this the whole game?If Trump is serious about justice, he needs to act like it. No more hiding behind Kash Patel. No more empty speeches while Pam Bondi sits on a “truckload” of Epstein files. Fire them. Release the list. Stand before God and the people, or be counted among the wicked.The blood of the innocent cries out from the ground. And if our so-called leaders won't deliver justice — then we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

In Episode 17, State of Florida v. James Milton Dailey, Part 1. Lisa and Kyle are joined by guest co-host Rick Mullenax of Burn After Reading, the YouTube channel that started with a deep dive into the West Memphis Three case and expanded to shine a light on aspects of the shady social media coverage of true crime, including the disappearance of Maura Murray and the murders of Libby German and Abby Williams by Richard Allen in Delphi, Indiana. We talked about the case against James Milton Dailey, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the May 5, 1985 murder of teenager Shelly Elizabeth Boggio, including the case against Dailey, his trial, direct appeals and early state post-conviction efforts, up to the death warrant issued by Governor Ron DeSantis on September 25, 2019.On Friday, December 20, 2024, I learned that Robb Chadwick passed away. Robb was a retired journalist, writer and blogger. He was also a good friend of the show, who was always willing to sit in when we needed a guest co-host. I will miss his insight and his knowledge about many cases. Robb was a kind, calm Southern gentleman. He will be missed.
What happens when justice is delayed? If for too long, or with too effective a prolong opposition, is it inevitable that it be permanently denied? If it is accurate that “politics is the art of the possible but art creates the possible of politics,” as Ta-Nehisi Coates writes in his book “The Message, what is the responsibility of the artist to imagine not only transforming positive social change but a world in which deep memory informs the future? And what happens when the artist commingles their own individual and group memory with that of others, creating a shared humanity that threatens to topple violences based on maintaining difference?Those who use art to build stories and connect human beings to each other with shared insights, emotions and experiences work against powerful Social Structures designed to exploit, harm and control. What happens when stories that maintain oppressive hierarchies break down under the weight of other stories, delivered with powerful clarity by masters of craft, of common language? What happens when, in response, stagecraft and common language is used to build narratives that reinforce the harms?“In Class” session number 239 draws from news of the death of non baseball Hall-of-Famer Peter Edward Rose to the whitelash defensive aftermath of the release of “the Message” to ask fundamental questions: Can justice, long delayed, be permanently denied? Deferred dreams be reduced to dead ones?JOIN KNARRATIVE: https://www.knarrative.com it's the only way to get into #Knubia, where these classes areheld live with a live chat.To shop Go to:TheGlobalMajorityMore from us:Knarrative Twitter: https://twitter.com/knarrative_Knarrative Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knarrative/In Class with Carr Twitter: https://twitter.com/inclasswithcarrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pam Bondi said she had it. Then she said it was coming out at 8 AM. Then… nothing. Now, she's in hiding, refusing to address why the long-awaited Epstein list is still being kept from the public. But she's not the only one responsible for this sham. The new FBI Director, Kash Patel, and even Donald Trump are complicit in this failure to deliver the truth.And let's talk about those so-called “Conservative” influencers who turned the Bondi binders into a circus act. Handing out redacted files full of nothing but black ink wasn't a win—it was a total disgrace. They gamified children's trauma, treating the horrific abuse of minors as a political spectacle instead of demanding real justice. Rather than doubling down on their wrongness, they need to admit they got played.So, WHERE OH WHERE is the Epstein list? Why are we STILL waiting? And who's actually protecting the predators? We're getting into all of it—no spin, no excuses, just Uncommon Sense.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/
On February 4, 2021, the staff at Sharon Public Schools became concerned when Sandra Birchmore failed to report to work for several consecutive days. Their worries prompted them to contact the police, who subsequently discovered her lifeless body in her apartment on that same day. Initial assessments by first responders indicated that she had likely been deceased for several days. Surveillance footage from February 1st revealed Birchmore moving in and out of her apartment during the afternoon, while a man named Matthew Farwell was seen entering the building later that evening and exiting approximately 30 minutes afterward. Tragically, when her body was found, she was still dressed in the same outfit she had worn earlier that day.Initially, Birchmore's death was classified as a suicide due to asphyxia. However, further investigation by federal authorities led to a significant shift in the case's direction. They concluded that her death was, in fact, a homicide, with allegations pointing to Matthew Farwell as the perpetrator. It was claimed that he had strangled Birchmore and then attempted to stage the scene to appear as a suicide, likely to conceal the nature of their relationship and the fact that she was pregnant. In August 2024, Farwell faced federal charges for murder, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing investigation.Birchmore's tragic case has drawn comparisons to another notable investigation in Norfolk County, the Karen Read case. Both situations have raised serious concerns regarding potential misconduct by law enforcement and have sparked discussions about the thoroughness and integrity of the investigations carried out by local authorities. The similarities between the two cases highlight the need for accountability and transparency in the handling of such sensitive matters, as they not only affect the victims and their families but also the broader communities' trust in the justice system.#missingperson#podcast#searchingformissingpeople#truecrimecommunity#truecrimestories#sandrabirchmore#locatingthelost#unsolvedmystery#unsolvedcrime

Nathan Hochman had barely unpacked his office when his tenure as Los Angeles County District Attorney began with a seismic jolt. In his first major act, he dismissed two high-ranking deputies, Nancy Theberge and Brock Lunsford, who had become central figures in the simmering controversy surrounding Lyle and Erik Menendez. The Menendez brothers, infamous for the brutal 1989 murders of their parents, were the focus of a contentious resentencing appeal that had ignited public and legal debate alike. Hochman's decisive move sent shockwaves through the legal community, marking a clear departure from the policies of his predecessor, George Gascon. Theberge and Lunsford had been instrumental in a 57-page appeal filed just weeks earlier, advocating for a reduction in the brothers' life sentences without the possibility of parole. Their argument rested on evidence of rehabilitation. The proposed revision—50 years to life—would have made the Menendez brothers immediately eligible for parole after 34 years of incarceration. Critics lambasted the move as a slap in the face to justice, reigniting the fierce divide that had characterized public opinion since the sensational trial in the mid-1990s. Hochman's stance was unequivocal. He publicly criticized Gascon's approach to the Menendez case, accusing him of leveraging high-profile cases for political gain. By removing Theberge and Lunsford from their positions, Hochman made it clear that his administration would be taking a different path. Theberge, who had led the resentencing unit under Gascon, was transferred to the office of the Alternate Public Defender, while Lunsford was reassigned within the DA's office. These personnel shifts signaled a stark policy pivot—one that appeared to prioritize retribution over rehabilitation. Yet the personnel changes only deepened the intrigue. Shortly after Hochman's announcement, the DA's office declared that Antonio Aguilar would take over as head of the resentencing unit and the post-conviction and discovery division. However, Aguilar denied the appointment, despite his name being listed on the official roster of new appointments. The office, tight-lipped as ever, declined to clarify the discrepancy, leaving Observers speculated about the true state of affairs within the DA's administration. This lack of transparency only added fuel to the growing skepticism about Hochman's intentions and the broader direction of his administration. The Menendez brothers' resentencing hearing, initially scheduled for mid-December, became another casualty of the administrative upheaval. Judge Michael Jesic postponed the hearing to late January, citing the need to give Hochman's team sufficient time to familiarize themselves with the voluminous case file. This delay added another layer of uncertainty to an already convoluted saga. Hochman now faced a critical decision: whether to proceed with the original recommendation for resentencing or to withdraw it, provided he could present a legitimate reason for doing so. Either choice carried significant risks, not only for the Menendez brothers but also for the credibility of the DA's office under its new leadership. With public scrutiny intensifying, Hochman's next move could set a precedent for how his tenure would be judged. Meanwhile, Mark Geragos, the brothers' high-profile attorney, had been busy mounting a parallel offensive. Geragos filed a habeas corpus petition that introduced new evidence allegedly corroborating the brothers' claims of sexual abuse by their father. This revelation, Geragos argued, warranted a new trial. The petition awaited a response from the DA's office, which had initially been due in late November but requested an extension until December 20. The delay only heightened the tension, as all parties braced for a showdown in the courtroom. Geragos's strategy was clear: keep the focus on the alleged abuse and its potential impact on the original trial's outcome. This approach not only put pressure on Hochman but also revived public interest in the case, ensuring that every development was scrutinized by the media. Complicating matters further was the Menendez brothers' clemency appeal to Governor Gavin Newsom. The governor deferred any action, citing respect for Hochman's review of the case. The clemency request represented a long-shot bid for freedom, but it also underscored the high stakes involved. Clemency, a rarely granted relief, would require compelling evidence of miscarriage of justice, rehabilitation, or extenuating circumstances. Newsom's decision to defer highlighted the gravity of the situation and the potential political ramifications of any action he might take. For the brothers, it was a sliver of hope in an otherwise daunting legal landscape. The January 30–31 hearing loomed large on the horizon, poised to become a pivotal moment not just for the Menendez brothers but for the broader conversation about justice, rehabilitation, and the legacy of one of the most notorious cases in American legal history. The outcome of this hearing could redefine the narrative surrounding the Menendez brothers, shifting it from one of cold-blooded killers to victims of a deeply dysfunctional family dynamic. However, such a shift would not come easily. The prosecution's team was expected to vigorously oppose any motion that might appear to lessen the severity of the brothers' crimes. What began as a family tragedy has evolved into a multifaceted legal drama, replete with power struggles, moral quandaries, and the ever-present specter of public scrutiny. Hochman's early moves have set the stage for a high-stakes confrontation, one that promises to test the limits of justice and redemption in a system often criticized for its rigidity. As the Menendez brothers await their day in court, the question remains: will this new chapter bring closure to a case that has haunted the public imagination for decades, or will it only deepen the mystery? Adding to the drama is the renewed cultural fascination with the case, spurred in part by the Netflix series "Monsters," which revisited the Menendez brothers' story in a broader context of sensationalized family crimes. The series has reignited debates over the fairness of the original trial, the admissibility of abuse claims, and the role of public opinion in shaping legal outcomes. For many, the Menendez case serves as a litmus test for how society balances the scales of justice against the backdrop of human complexity. This renewed attention has amplified the stakes for all involved, from the DA's office to the defense team, and even the public officials who might be drawn into the fray. As the clock ticks down to the January hearing, one thing is certain: the Menendez brothers' story is far from over. With new evidence, shifting legal strategies, and a public hungry for resolution, the next chapter promises to be as riveting and consequential as the events that have already unfolded. The question of justice—what it means, who deserves it, and how it should be administered—looms large, casting a shadow over the proceedings and ensuring that this case will remain etched in the annals of American legal history.

Geragos's strategy was clear: keep the focus on the alleged abuse and its potential impact on the original trial's outcome. This approach not only put pressure on Hochman but also revived public interest in the case, ensuring that every development was scrutinized by the media. Complicating matters further was the Menendez brothers' clemency appeal to Governor Gavin Newsom. The governor deferred any action, citing respect for Hochman's review of the case. The clemency request represented a long-shot bid for freedom, but it also underscored the high stakes involved. Clemency, a rarely granted relief, would require compelling evidence of miscarriage of justice, rehabilitation, or extenuating circumstances. Newsom's decision to defer highlighted the gravity of the situation and the potential political ramifications of any action he might take. For the brothers, it was a sliver of hope in an otherwise daunting legal landscape. The January 30–31 hearing loomed large on the horizon, poised to become a pivotal moment not just for the Menendez brothers but for the broader conversation about justice, rehabilitation, and the legacy of one of the most notorious cases in American legal history. The outcome of this hearing could redefine the narrative surrounding the Menendez brothers, shifting it from one of cold-blooded killers to victims of a deeply dysfunctional family dynamic. However, such a shift would not come easily. The prosecution's team was expected to vigorously oppose any motion that might appear to lessen the severity of the brothers' crimes. What began as a family tragedy has evolved into a multifaceted legal drama, replete with power struggles, moral quandaries, and the ever-present specter of public scrutiny. Hochman's early moves have set the stage for a high-stakes confrontation, one that promises to test the limits of justice and redemption in a system often criticized for its rigidity. As the Menendez brothers await their day in court, the question remains: will this new chapter bring closure to a case that has haunted the public imagination for decades, or will it only deepen the mystery? Adding to the drama is the renewed cultural fascination with the case, spurred in part by the Netflix series "Monsters," which revisited the Menendez brothers' story in a broader context of sensationalized family crimes. The series has reignited debates over the fairness of the original trial, the admissibility of abuse claims, and the role of public opinion in shaping legal outcomes. For many, the Menendez case serves as a litmus test for how society balances the scales of justice against the backdrop of human complexity. This renewed attention has amplified the stakes for all involved, from the DA's office to the defense team, and even the public officials who might be drawn into the fray. As the clock ticks down to the January hearing, one thing is certain: the Menendez brothers' story is far from over. With new evidence, shifting legal strategies, and a public hungry for resolution, the next chapter promises to be as riveting and consequential as the events that have already unfolded. The question of justice—what it means, who deserves it, and how it should be administered—looms large, casting a shadow over the proceedings and ensuring that this case will remain etched in the annals of American legal history.

Jen Psaki reacts to the news that Donald Trump has officially evaded accountability for his misconduct, after Special Counsel Jack Smith formally moved to dismiss the two Federal cases against him. Jen is joined by Senator-elect Adam Schiff to discuss how we arrived at this moment and the many ways those cases could have played out differently over the last 4 years. Jen is then joined by Melanie Zanona, Brendan Buck and Mark Leibovich to discuss how Trump's cabinet nominees might be considered for confirmation without undergoing FBI background checks, and the possibility that some Senate Republicans might join with Democrats to demand them. Jen also reflects on the implications of Trump's apparent decision to avoid transparency when it comes to his transition fund, which -- as of now -- can raise unlimited money without disclosing the names of donors, including from foreign nationals. Finally, Jen talks to Congressman and Veteran Pat Ryan of New York about Pete Hegseth's right-wing ideology and what it would mean for the Department of Defense if he is confirmed.

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message.On November 19, 1987, a young Canadian couple, Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg, embarked on what should have been a straightforward business trip to Seattle, Washington. Tasked with picking up furnace parts for Jay's father, they decided to make a fun outing of the errand, crossing the border from their home in British Columbia into the United States. Tragically, this trip would mark the beginning of a harrowing mystery that spanned over three decades.The couple's plans took a grim turn when they failed to return home on time. Concern quickly grew among their families, leading to frantic searches and anguished appeals for their safe return. Days later, their worst fears were realized. Tanya's lifeless body was discovered in a ditch near Alger, Washington, 20 miles south of Bellingham. She had been sexually assaulted and shot in the head. Jay's body was found two days later, 60 miles away under a bridge in Snoqualmie, strangled with a pack of cigarettes shoved down his throat.The investigation faced numerous challenges, leaving detectives with few leads and no clear suspects. The case went cold, despite persistent efforts and the enduring hope of Jay and Tanya's families for justice. As years turned into decades, the murders remained a haunting, unsolved mystery.It wasn't until 31 years later that a breakthrough came, thanks to advancements in DNA technology and the perseverance of those still seeking answers. In 2018, investigators utilized genetic genealogy to trace DNA evidence left at the crime scenes to a distant relative of the suspect. This led them to William Earl Talbott II, a truck driver from Washington whose second cousin had unknowingly provided the crucial link.Talbott was arrested and charged with the murders of Jay Cook and Tanya Van Cuylenborg. During the trial, prosecutors presented compelling evidence connecting Talbott to the crime scenes, including the DNA match and testimony regarding his movements around the time of the murders. In June 2019, a jury found Talbott guilty, providing a long-awaited sense of justice and closure for the victims' families.The story of Jay and Tanya serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of violent crime and the enduring quest for justice. Their families' perseverance, coupled with modern forensic science, ultimately brought a resolution to a case that had haunted the Pacific Northwest for over three decades.Join us on the latest episode of Hitched 2 Homicide as we delve deeper into the chilling details of this case, exploring the lives cut tragically short and the relentless pursuit of justice that finally prevailed.Support the Show.JOIN THE HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWSSTART KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREEH2H WEBSITEH2H on TWITTERH2H on INSTA
