A celebrity pastor falls from ministry. A child murderer is sentenced to death after horrifying testimony shocks the nation. And pastors across America are suddenly talking about UFO disclosure, psy-ops, and “interdimensional beings.” What on earth is happening? In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman examines three of the strangest and darkest stories of the week—and why Christians need theological clarity more than panic. From the collapse of modern evangelical anthropology, to justice and evil in a fallen world, to the growing obsession with UFO disclosure and spiritual deception, this episode asks the deeper question beneath the headlines: What happens when a civilization loses its grip on truth? Christians cannot afford gullibility. But neither can we afford materialistic unbelief. Scripture already gives categories for evil, deception, principalities, powers, sin, justice, repentance, and hope. And above every headline, scandal, conspiracy, and fear campaign stands one name: Jesus Christ.

An English butcher murdered his wife the day his exorcism ended, the Son of Sam blamed his neighbor's dog, and a forked-tongued occultist who called himself Pazuzu buried bodies in his backyard — and every one of them swore it was the demon who did it. | #WDRadio May 10, 2026==========HOUR ONE: “The devil made me do it.” It's an excuse that has been used so often by so many that it has lost its meaning, and its effectiveness. So only a fool or a madman would commit a horrible act and then try to blame it on the devil or a demon… unless, of course, that person truly believes that is exactly what happened to them. (A Demon Made Me Do It) *** The little Norwegian village of Bærum Verk still stands as an old foundry settlement, and is an active place, both as a place to work, and as a place to live – and as a place to keep living even after you're dead. (The Most Haunted Village in Norway) *** There are more than a few stories from upright citizens around the world who claim to have seen tiny humans. I'm not talking about the diminutive human beings we used to classify as dwarves or midgets until we became more enlightened. I'm talking about short, maybe two-foot tall, perfectly proportioned people. (Big Stories About Little People)==========HOUR TWO: Like many desolate places, the Arctic has its share of ghost stories and haunted legends floating around the frigid, wild areas of its domain. It might be the frights rather than the cold that gives you goosebumps. (Ghostly Shivers of the Arctic Circle) *** You never know what might be lurking just out of sight – in the shadows, behind a door. I'll share a few true stories that might make you double-check the locks at night and check the closet before going to bed. (Never Trust The Dark) *** When you think of the Salem Witch Trials, you typically think of women being burned at the stake, innocently accused of witchcraft. There are two incorrect assumption about that mental picture. First, most of the accused were hung, and none have been truly verified to be burned alive. And second, sorcery and Satan worship were not seen to be bound by gender, and so either a man, woman, boy, or girl could be a witch. And one of those unfortunate men was Giles Corey – but his punishment went beyond the norm, and into the gruesome. (The Most Dreadful Execution of The Salem Witch Trials)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: When John and Eva were married they told their relatives that they planned to honeymoon on the Atlantic coast, but John had another plan, and it would not be his last deception. But it would be the first act in what ended up being a mystery that has still gone unsolved to this day. (The Lawrenceburg Shanty-Boat Mystery) *** Weirdo family member James Pierce brings a true story that he calls, “It Came Through the Screen Door”. *** A 5-year-old boy having the time of his life at a carnival suddenly goes missing – and when found later there is no evidence whatsoever as to how he got where he was, who took him there, or what happened to him before he was found. (The Disturbing Case of Little Stephen McKerron) *** Weirdo family member Joy Cruz remembers something her mother told her as a child… and it quite possibly saved her soul.

It's Monday, April 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Preacher found dead in Russian prison A blogger and preacher, known to the internet as Vegan Christ-Lover of God, died this month while in Russian custody. Khristolyub Bozhiy ran a blog and YouTube channel where he spoke about religion, veganism, and his advocacy of peace related to Russia's ongoing war on Ukraine, reports International Christian Concern. The 43-year-old blogger described himself as a Christian activist, pacifist, and preacher who spoke against Islam Russian officials began their investigations in November 2023. In February 2025, a regional court sentenced Bozhiy to three years in a colony-settlement for offending Muslims, In early April, Bozhiy was moved to a pre-trial detention center and was immediately placed in an isolated cell. Earlier this month, he reported, “I was given five days in solitary as soon as I arrived. Then another 15, for nothing at all.” On April 17th, Bozhiy's father learned that his son had died, but was not told the cause of his death until he was summoned to collect his son's body on April 20th. That day, when he arrived at the investigator's office, he was told that his son had been found hanging in an isolated cell. Bozhiy's relatives do not believe his death was a suicide. In his final protest, Bozhiy held a sign that read, “Jesus commanded to love enemies, not to kill, for God is love. Murderers do not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu treated for prostate cancer Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has revealed that he recently underwent treatment for prostate cancer, and kept it quiet for fear that it would be used by Iran for propaganda, reports One America News. He had three core messages to share with the public: “Thank God, I am healthy.” “I am in excellent physical condition.” “I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, it's behind me.” 3 John 2:2 says, “Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” 9 in 10 British Evangelicals prepared to share faith with atheists Only 2% of evangelical British Christians have faced ‘sanctions' for talking about their Christian faith at work, while 4% feel they have missed out on the chance of a promotion or other better job opportunities because of their Christian faith, reports Evangelical Focus. A survey commissioned by the Evangelical Alliance United Kingdom shows that most Evangelicals have a positive experience in their workplace. Although one in ten say they have received criticism in the United Kingdom for talking about their Christian faith and just over two in ten are “hesitant to talk about my Christian faith”, 40% of believers say that their Christian faith has “positively helped me in my workplace.” Almost 9 in 10 Evangelicals feel “equipped” to share their faith with atheists (86%) compared to 14% who do not. The response is virtually the same when asked about conversations with agnostics. And two-thirds of Evangelical respondents feel prepared to discuss their faith with Muslims (67%) and 79% with Jews. 1 Peter 3:15 says, “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” Trump's fiscal folly On April 3rd, President Trump released his proposed Fiscal 2027 Budget. Strikingly, Trump proposed to increase defense spending by over 40% and cut non-defense discretionary spending by about 10%, reports Fortune Magazine. Yet, even after slashing everything from environmental protection and scientific research to housing and small-business support, government spending will surge, the deficit will balloon, and the ratio of debt held by the public to the Gross Domestic Product will climb to peacetime highs and remain above 100%. Overall, the Trump administration's proposed budget is an extension of what has become, particularly during the last three administrations, fiscal folly. Steve Hanke, a professor of applied economics at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, wrote, “A significant chunk of today's government expenditures are financed by putting future generations in bondage and saddling them with the costs. This is irresponsible, inequitable, and immoral. Fiscal deficits are nothing more than deferred taxes that will be paid by those who aren't even voting today, as well as many who are yet to be born.” Public school allows profane anti-ICE protest, suspends pro-ICE student On February 6, hundreds of students at Torrey Pines High School in San Diego, California peacefully staged a mid-school-day walkout to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They held posters that read “ICE is KKK spelled differently” as well as others with profane language. Yet, two weeks later, Torrey Pines High School suspended a student for posting pro-ICE flyers reading, “We love I.C.E. – Real Americans.” The school claimed the flyers, which caused no disruption at the school — and were displayed in a common area where other students have posted political material — nevertheless constituted “harassment” and “intimidation.” After intervention by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a California school district expunged its suspension of a high school junior for putting up a pro-ICE poster. Senior Attorney Conor Fitzpatrick said, “School administrators can't pick and choose which opinions students are allowed to express. Voicing an opinion which makes others upset is not ‘harassment' or ‘intimidation,' it is American democracy in action.” Which U.S. president had 15 children? And finally, in 1789, George Washington became the first president of the United States. Since then, 44 other men have served as Commander-in-Chief, each leaving a political legacy to be analyzed and judged in the course of time. But their legacies are not only political — they're also familial, reports HistoryFacts. The number of children each president had is often overlooked, but on a personal level, few things could be more important. And in two cases, presidential children — John Quincy Adams and George W. Bush — went on to become presidents themselves, combining the familial with the political. Five presidents fathered no known biological children. In some cases, this was likely due to infertility caused by medical issues, such as the tuberculosis infection George Washington suffered before he was married. James Buchanan, meanwhile, remains the only U.S. president who never married. One president stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to procreating: John Tyler fathered 15 children across two marriages. Another notable figure is Thomas Jefferson, who had six children with his wife of 10 years, Martha Jefferson, and allegedly fathered six others with his slave named Sally Hemings. The other presidents in the top five include: James A. Garfield, who had 7 children, Rutherford B. Hayes, who had 8 children, and William Henry Harrison, who had 10 children. Psalm 127:3-5 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monay, April 27th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

A renewed Women's Health Strategy for England has been published today. The first Women's Health Strategy came out in July 2022 under the Conservative government, with this ‘refresh' being put forward as a ‘chance to travel further and faster'. However with over half a million women still waiting for gynaecological care in England and many women saying they don't feel listened to, why has there been so little progress? Nuala McGovern discusses the renewed strategy with the Health Secretary Wes Streeting. Author Elizabeth Arnott talks to Nuala about her novel, The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives, which investigates the impact of violent crime, not only on its victims, but also on the people closest to the criminals. The story follows Beverley, Elsie and Margot, who all discovered they were married to serial killers too late to save the women they murdered. Set in 1960s California, in an era where the understanding of the “serial killer” phenomenon was in its infancy, these women find themselves in a unique position to dig into the psychology of their husbands and band together, using their knowledge of dangerous men, to track down other violent predators. Scottish comedian Susie McCabe is a stalwart of the BBC comedy scene - from The News Quiz and Breaking the News, to Just a Minute and Have I Got News For You. It was in 2024, while touring, that she had a heart-attack – she was only in her mid-forties at the time. It made her not only take a long hard look at her life, but it also inspired her latest show, Best Behaviour. Susie joins Nuala to discuss making comedy gold out of life's trials and tribulations.

Joseph Dexter Taylor, 52, is charged with murdering 33-year-old Chris Kidwell after burned human remains believed to be Kidwell were found on Taylor's rural California property, with investigators alleging the victim was shot before the body was burned. Taylor had already been facing felony arson and firearm charges before this case, and prosecutors say witness statements about him discussing a “cremation” and showing burn injuries could become key evidence at trial.https://krcrtv.com/news/local/investigators-reveal-possible-id-of-person-killed-burned-on-property-near-orovillehttps://people.com/man-charged-with-murder-after-human-remains-found-on-property-11937811Dan Rodimer trial is coming uphttps://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/courts/watched-you-nearly-murder-someone-rodimers-attorneys-want-texts-suppressed-3031459/ Join our squad!

From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. His career in law enforcement spans more than five decades, 51 years to be exact, filled with moments of courage, chaos, and the quiet heroism that often goes unseen. From becoming the youngest police officer in New York at just 20 years old to serving as the elected Sheriff of the Chenango County Sheriff's Office in upstate New York, Loughren's life has been defined by service, sacrifice, and an unwavering commitment to justice. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. Thomas Loughren is our guest. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “Law enforcement is more than a career, it's a calling,” Loughren reflects. “Every case, every suspect, every call teaches you something. You learn about humanity, about resilience, and sometimes, about your own limits.” Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . You can find the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. A Career Spanning States and Stories Loughren's career took him from the Florida Everglades as part of the Mikusukee Police to some of the most high-profile cases in New York. He recalls one particularly harrowing investigation: a 12-year-old girl had been brutally murdered, and the investigation. From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. Plus he talks about arresting a hit man from a tip from the TV Show America's Most Wanted. The suspect had fled to New York State. “This individual was a hitman for a gang,” Loughren explains. “Tracking him across state lines was challenging, dangerous, and it reminded me why law enforcement can never rest.” Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. It was a tip from the then-hit television show America's Most Wanted (AMW) that proved pivotal. “AMW was more than entertainment, it was a life-saving tool,” Loughren says. “The public's involvement often made the difference between justice being delayed or delivered.” During his tenure in law enforcement, Loughren witnessed the full spectrum of human behavior, from courage to cruelty. “You confront the worst in people, but you also see the best,” he says. “I've seen communities come together, strangers help strangers, and officers risk their lives for people they've never met.” Serving Chenango County Chenango County, located in the south-central section of New York, became a central stage for Loughren's leadership. With a population of just over 47,000 as of the 2020 census, Chenango County is part of New York's Southern Tier region. The county seat, Norwich, and the surrounding communities became familiar ground for Loughren as he served as Sheriff. From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. “Being Sheriff isn't just about enforcing the law, it's about guiding a community,” Loughren explains. “You learn how to balance authority with empathy, how to respond to crises, and how to build trust in the places you serve.” Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. The county's geography, from the Chenango River that flows through it to its 899 square miles of land, played a part in many of Loughren's investigations. Remote roads, rural landscapes, and small-town networks often made solving crimes both challenging and deeply personal. From Crisis to Courage: A Life in Law Enforcement Loughren's book, When Crisis Meets Courage, captures these experiences in vivid detail. The book chronicles fifty years of duty, danger, sacrifice, and service, from the Florida Everglades to Ground Zero. “This isn't just a book of cases or arrests,” Loughren says. “It's a collection of lessons in leadership, loyalty, and love for the work we do.” In When Crisis Meets Courage, readers can find action-packed accounts of chases, investigations, and arrests, alongside reflections on the human side of policing. Loughren writes not only about criminals and crimes but about the relationships, decisions, and moments that define a law enforcement career. “Policing teaches you humility,” he notes. “It teaches you that every action matters, every decision can save or change a life, and that courage is sometimes quiet, showing up day after day, ready to serve.” From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. The book is published through 846 Publishing, where readers can also learn more about Loughren's career and other publications. Reaching America Through Multiple Platforms Thomas Loughren's insights extend beyond print. He shares his experiences and lessons across multiple platforms to reach audiences nationwide. Fans can follow him on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Facebook, Instagram, watch the episode of the podcast interview and case breakdowns on YouTube, or listen to in-depth discussions on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. From Cop To Sheriff, His Experience With Murderers. News outlets across America have highlighted his career, and television appearances including mentions on "America's Most Wanted" have amplified his voice to the public. “Social media and podcasts allow us to reach people in ways we never could before,” Loughren says. “It's about sharing knowledge, inspiring future law enforcement professionals, and giving the public a window into what really happens behind the badge.” Lessons from a Lifetime of Service From chasing gang hitmen to protecting small-town communities, Loughren's career is a testament to the challenges and rewards of law enforcement. His story demonstrates that policing isn't just about crime, it's about humanity, justice, and the bonds we form in the process of service. It is discussed across News platforms and shared on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Apple, and Spotify, where audiences continue to get their content. “Every officer, every deputy, every sheriff faces moments that test them,” Loughren reflects. “But it's those moments, the ones that require courage, empathy, and quick thinking, that define us.” For those interested in the realities of law enforcement, the triumphs and tragedies, and the leadership lessons learned from decades on the front lines, When Crisis Meets Courage offers an unfiltered, unforgettable look into the life of a man who devoted his life to protecting others.

The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience
Happy pub' day Elizabeth! Award-winning author and journalist Elizabeth Arnott spoke with us about her early studies of serial killers, a wild journalism career, and her latest period-set crime novel THE SECRET LIVES OF MURDERERS' WIVES. Elizabeth Arnott has written critically acclaimed historical fiction as Lizzie Pook (her maiden name). As a journalist, she covered everything from true crime to Arctic exploration and appeared in publications such as The Sunday Times, National Geographic, The New York Times Book Review, and The Guardian among others. She has described her much-anticipated latest historical crime novel as Mad Men with murders, and Lessons in Chemistry with a body count. The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives [available for pre-order and landing March 3, 2026; Berkley Hardcover], is a story that “... centers on three unlikely friends—all former wives of serial killers—and their efforts to solve a string of local killings in 1966 California.” The book was acquired in a heated seven-way auction and named one of “The Best Books for Book Clubs in 2026” by Glamour, and among “The 10 Most-Anticipated Mystery-Thriller Books of 2026” by Marie Claire. Parade wrote of the book, “... a story that feels like Bright Young Women collided with Mindhunter …. a propulsive, period-set whodunit perfect for anyone who loves early criminal profiling and Mad Men-era aesthetics with bite.” [This episode is sponsored by Ulysses.

Julia Cowley is a retired FBI agent/profiler, who hosts The Consult: Real FBI Profilers podcast. The one on the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum heist was fantastic! Cowley traces her path from chemistry and a forensic science master's to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, then the FBI, where she was assigned to bank fraud and later public corruption/civil rights in Boston while serving on the Evidence Response Team, before applying to and joining the Behavioral Analysis Unit during research into high-level white-collar offenders. They found some interesting similarities between serious violent offenders and white-collar criminals. Listen to The Consult: https://www.truecrimeconsult.com/

Bookshelf overwhelm is a common concern around here, so we know today's conversation will resonate with many readers. Our guest today is Holly Dyer, whose name might be familiar if you're a member of our book club or Patreon communities, because Holly is an active member of both. Holly's a mom and classical musician from Massachusetts, and she's no stranger to a good book. Lately, though, Holly has been feeling stressed out about all the books she could be reading. This year, she'd like to refocus her reading time in order to read fewer books, spend more time with those titles, and both explore longer books and devote time to rereading books she's loved before. Holly is excited about her 2026 goals, and Anne is excited to hear more and help her in any way she can. They'll explore Holly's hope to better vet the titles she's interested in reading before actually deciding to read them. She'd also appreciate talking through how she might pare down all her ideas for her reading goals and projects. Anne has ideas, and we'd love to hear yours, too: please leave a comment by visiting our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/515, where you'll also find the list of titles discussed today. It's been a great season in the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club: lately, we've been reading Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers, a title that's shown up here on the podcast, both as a recommendation and a past guest favorite, because Jesse Q. Sutanto is joining us for our February author talk. In addition to monthly author chats like this one, we host a variety of events to deepen your reading life and connect with your fellow readers, like our Reader's Day which just took place on February 7th. Our members also lead the way in activities like our community picks, titles selected by our members for a smaller group to read together. We often describe book club as a buffet.

Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Shaboozey and a Grammy Tsunami Slams ICE and Trump. Danish Veterans March Against Trump. Groundhog Day is VERY 2026. Super Bowl Week Begins.Girl Scout Cookies! This Groundhog Day 2026,Paul emerges from the cold of the weekend like the Puxatawny Phil of news in an episode 431 to barrel into the start of February and off a freezing trip to Philly that reflects a growing, nationwide fury at ICE's abuses. He lays out why he believes ICE's culture is rotten to the core, details ProPublica's naming of the federal agents involved in the killing of Alex Pretti, and explains how expanding warrantless raids from Minnesota to Utah are shredding the Constitution in real time. Paul connects this crackdown to Trump's escalating war on protest and the press, where peaceful protesters are smeared as “domestic terrorists” and “communist insurrectionists” to justify possible use of the Insurrection Act and even active-duty troops against American citizens. The episode also hits Trump's broader assault on the free press, from reports of gagged MAGA-friendly media to relentless attacks on ProPublica, NPR, Jimmy Kimmel, and others, while Paul shares a chilling example of violent threats he receives on Elon Musk's X for speaking out. Abroad, he highlights thousands of Danish veterans marching against Trump in Copenhagen over his disrespect for NATO, Iran's brutal execution of former soccer star Mojtaba Tarshid after protests, the fragile ceasefire and reopened Rafah crossing, and Ukrainians fighting to keep a 51-year-old gorilla named Tony warm amid freezing Russian attacks. Back home, Paul spotlights a political shocker in Texas, where Democrat and Air Force veteran Taylor Remit flipped a deep-red congressional district that Trump carried by 17 points, powered by independents and disaffected Republicans. He uses the upset to explain how independents are surging and are now the decisive needle in American politics, previews a virtual town hall with Open Primaries and independent veteran Senate candidates Ty Pickens and Todd Achilles, and weaves in culture and sports—from the Grammys' anti-ICE tipping point and Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show to Seahawks–Patriots, Knicks magic, and OKC's rise—and closing as always with “Something Good good”. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

They are paid directly to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) via bank ACH. This is a simple fact. Anything else you read or hear is factually incorrect. Importers can negotiate with foreign exporters (suppliers in other countries) to offset tariff costs, such as by securing lower purchase prices, rebates, or other contractual adjustments that effectively shift some financial burden back to the exporter. This is a common business practice in international trade to maintain competitiveness. However, importers cannot directly obtain funds from foreign governments to pay U.S. customs duties (tariffs), as tariffs are a U.S. revenue tool imposed on the importer of record, not on foreign entities. Foreign governments might offer their own exporters subsidies or incentives in response to tariffs, but those don’t flow directly to U.S. importers for tariff payment. https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/2013716660046213357?s=20 https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2013984150835888368?s=20 By The Numbers… Trump’s (Second) First Year In 10 Charts Since President Trump took office in January 2025, stock indexes have reached new highs. Economic Growth After a 0.6 percent contraction in the first quarter, U.S. economic growth accelerated and exceeded economists' expectations in 2025, avoiding a feared recession. GDP grew by 3.8 percent in Q2 and 4.3 percent in Q3—the strongest performance in two years. Inflation Inflation reached 9.1 percent in 2022, the highest level in decades. Although consumer prices remained elevated through 2025, inflation rates were lower than those recorded during the Biden administration. Trade Despite the trade deficit widening in the first three months of 2025 as businesses rushed to front-run President Donald Trump's global tariffs, America's monthly trade balance has improved substantially. Employment Since last summer, the U.S. labor market has been characterized by what some economists call “low fire, low hire,” with companies neither reducing nor expanding their workforce. Gas Prices One of the major achievements of the Trump administration has been the substantial decline in gas prices. From record production to loosening regulations, businesses and consumers have seen lower energy costs. Mortgage Rates When President Donald Trump started his second term at the White House, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was around 7 percent. Since then, it has fallen significantly, even temporarily sliding below 6 percent for the first time in more than three years.

Similar was done to send $1,776 payments to active military members. https://twitter.com/PatriotVerity/status/2013751222998585779?s=20 Political/Rights Shocking Undercover Video Shows Judges in Ohio Immigration Courts Can be Bribed to Keep Illegals in the US Shocking undercover video obtained by Townhall shows judges in Ohio immigration courts can be bribed to keep illegal aliens in the United States. The footage was posted to X on Tuesday morning. The video sheds light on the underground business of smuggling illegals into the US, helping them get jobs and bribing immigration judges to rule in their favor. A woman identified as Patricia “Pat” Golder claimed in the video that she takes some of the money given to West African migrants in exchange for her bribing judges to rule in their favor. An undercover reporter was introduced to Golder by a woman named Cindy Reis. “She gets them their papers. She does,” Reis told the reporter as she introduced him to Patricia Golder. “He knows about Mulberry Street.” “I try to work with them the best I can,” Golder said. Golder told the reporter that some of the migrants “have papers” and some don't. She said she helps the illegals get jobs but would not name the companies because of “the threat of ICE.” Later on in the video, Golder discloses that she visits judges at bars and restaurants. “If I can get to the judge. You know, that's the only person you want to talk to is the judge,” Golder says with a smile on her face. “Wait, say that again?” the reporter said. “If I can get to the judge it's okay. I make conversation with them,” Golder said. “If the judge says, “Yeah, Okay, $50,000 I send everybody to you,” she said. “I go to the bar like everybody drink. Spot the judge. I say, ‘You work on this date?' He's like, ‘let me see my calendar'…give me my $50G's,” she said. “The judge says that?” the reporter asked in disbelief.

This is causing MAJOR delays. I will be bringing forward a bill to IMPEACH Judge Engelmayer for obstructing the release of the Epstein files and failure to appoint special counsel! Release the files! endless procedural roadblocks. Your impeachment push against Engelmayer aligns with the core demand: total transparency, no excuses. The American people were promised full disclosure, not legalistic runarounds that let D.C. insiders dictate what truths see daylight.
