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. Prosecutors say he knew the shooter's location and failed to act. The defense argues he responded to a chaotic situation and did what he could.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

In the lead-up to Ghislaine Maxwell's indictment and eventual arrest, a wide range of law enforcement agents representing multiple agencies were brought before the grand jury to lay out the evidentiary foundation of the case. Their testimony reflected a coordinated federal effort that had been building quietly for years, drawing on investigative work from different jurisdictions, timelines, and investigative lanes. Agents walked jurors through financial records, travel logs, victim accounts, electronic communications, and corroborating witness statements, showing how Maxwell functioned not as a peripheral figure, but as a central facilitator in Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation. The cumulative effect of this testimony was to establish pattern, intent, and continuity—demonstrating that Maxwell's actions were not isolated or accidental, but deliberate, repeated, and essential to the enterprise prosecutors were preparing to charge.In this episode, we take a close, methodical look at that grand jury testimony and what it reveals about how the case against Maxwell was constructed. By examining how different agencies' witnesses reinforced one another's findings, the episode highlights how prosecutors built a layered narrative designed to withstand both legal scrutiny and defense attacks. The testimony shows how long-standing investigative threads were finally pulled together after Epstein's death, transforming years of fragmented information into a cohesive criminal case. Rather than focusing on speculation or hindsight, this episode zeroes in on the mechanics of the prosecution itself—how law enforcement presented the evidence, why the grand jury ultimately moved forward, and how that testimony paved the way for Maxwell's arrest and indictment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00008744.pdf

Annie Farmer testified during Ghislaine Maxwell's federal trial that she was just 16 years old when Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein flew her to Epstein's ranch in New Mexico under the guise of an academic retreat. Farmer explained that she initially believed the trip was meant to provide her with educational and career opportunities. Instead, she said the experience quickly turned uncomfortable and exploitative. She recalled Maxwell giving her a massage during which Maxwell touched her breasts, an incident that left her feeling frozen and terrified. She also testified that Epstein had climbed into her bed unexpectedly and caressed her without consent. Farmer described feeling "panicked" and manipulated by two adults who had promised mentorship and safety.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Every story of salvation is a reminder that God is always at work—even when we don't see it. In this powerful testimony, one of our church family members shares how Jesus transformed his life and how the faithful prayers of a mother played a role in his journey to Christ. This story is a reminder that no one is beyond God's reach and that persistent prayer matters more than we realize.

Today's Headlines: Looks like there's no easing into this new year. Trump dramatically escalated his Venezuela fixation this weekend, launching major strikes in Caracas and having Nicolás Maduro pulled from his home and flown to federal detention in Brooklyn. Maduro was re-indicted on familiar narcotrafficking charges, while Trump bragged that the U.S. is effectively “running Venezuela now” alongside American oil companies. But instead of installing Trump's preferred opposition figure, Venezuela's Supreme Court tapped Maduro's vice president Delcy Rodríguez as interim leader. Before all that, the U.S. had spent weeks chasing a Venezuela-bound oil tanker — until Russia swooped in on New Year's Eve, added it to its registry, and painted a Russian flag on the side to shield it from seizure. Trump also hosted President Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago with Stephen Miller, Jared Kushner, and Pete Hegseth, claiming “progress” while simultaneously echoing outrage on Putin's behalf after a friendly call with him. Abroad, Switzerland's army chief warned the country couldn't withstand a major attack, protests in Iran turned deadly as Trump threatened to “intervene,” and Trump ordered Christmas Day strikes on ISIS militants in Nigeria. On the home front, Trump froze all childcare payments nationwide after citing a Minnesota welfare fraud case involving a small group of Somali immigrants — while simultaneously moving to garnish wages from millions of student loan borrowers in default starting in January. One notable check on his power: the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 against his National Guard deployments to several U.S. cities. Meanwhile, the newly released Jack Smith testimony says he had evidence Trump committed multiple felonies that could rise to treason before his cases were shut down — and the massive Epstein document dump is already under scrutiny for delays, missing records, and questionable redactions, including internal DOJ emails noting Trump flew on Epstein's plane more than previously known.

Washington has long perfected the art of political theater, where outrage is loudly paraded before cameras only to evaporate when accountability is required. On the campaign trail, fiery speeches about corruption and justice come easy—rhetoric designed for applause, not action. Yet when those same figures sit under oath, the fire dies out, replaced by carefully hedged statements and dismissive legal jargon. It's not about uncovering truth; it's about protecting power.That's the script Kash Patel followed to the letter. After crowing about Epstein's crimes for political gain, he turned around and downplayed survivor testimony as “not credible” when speaking before the Senate. The hypocrisy couldn't be clearer. What once served as an applause line became an inconvenient truth, quickly discarded in favor of denial. The mask slipped, the act collapsed, and what was revealed was not a defender of justice but yet another operator shielding the powerful under the guise of credibility.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In her testimony at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, “Jane Doe” described being recruited as a minor into Jeffrey Epstein's world through what initially appeared to be benign social contact and promises of money. She testified that she was drawn in at a young age, gradually groomed, and made to believe the abuse was normal or expected. According to her account, Epstein's homes functioned as controlled environments where rules were unspoken but rigid, and where fear, confusion, and dependence were deliberately cultivated. Jane Doe explained that she was repeatedly directed, pressured, and maneuvered into sexual encounters, often under circumstances that made refusal feel impossible, especially given her age and lack of power.Jane Doe's testimony also emphasized the long-term psychological impact of the abuse and the power imbalance that made resistance or escape feel impossible at the time. She explained how fear, confusion, and manipulation kept her compliant, and how the trauma followed her well into adulthood. Crucially, her account aligned with those of other accusers, strengthening the prosecution's argument that this was a coordinated system rather than a series of isolated acts. By the time Jane Doe testified, her words served not just as an individual story, but as part of a larger evidentiary mosaic showing that Ghislaine Maxwell knowingly participated in sustaining Epstein's abuse network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, Juan Alessi—Jeffrey Epstein's longtime estate manager—testified as a key insider who provided jurors with a ground-level view of how Epstein's properties operated on a daily basis. Alessi described his responsibilities managing Epstein's homes, particularly in Palm Beach, and explained how young girls were regularly brought to the residence for what were described as “massages.” He testified that this was not an occasional or hidden occurrence but a routine part of life at the house, with frequent visits by underage girls and systems in place to manage their arrivals and departures. Alessi also confirmed that payments were made to the girls, reinforcing the prosecution's argument that the abuse was organized and transactional rather than spontaneous or misunderstood.Alessi's testimony was especially damaging because it placed Ghislaine Maxwell directly inside the operational structure of Epstein's abuse. He told the jury that Maxwell was regularly present at the Palm Beach home, was aware of the girls coming and going, and at times interacted with them herself. His account undermined the defense's attempt to portray Maxwell as detached from Epstein's criminal conduct, instead depicting her as someone who knew exactly what was happening inside the house. By confirming the routine nature of the visits and Maxwell's proximity to them, Alessi's testimony helped establish knowledge, continuity, and intent—critical elements for the prosecution's case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this bonus episode of Affirming Truths, Carla Arges interviews Rooted & Resilient graduate Olivia, who shares what it looked like to walk through a "pit of depression" while trying to keep functioning in everyday life. Olivia describes months-long dips in mood, relentless negative thoughts about herself, and a deep sense of hopelessness - even though she'd grown up in the church and knew, in her head, that God offers hope. Searching for support that combined neuroscience and Christianity, Olivia found Carla's podcast and joined Rooted & Resilient. She opens up about how overwhelm and executive dysfunction (including ADHD traits) fueled avoidance patterns like doomscrolling and made her feel like she just needed "more discipline." But through the program, she learned the difference between willpower and executive dysfunction - and discovered a grace-filled, sustainable way forward. By the end of the 12 weeks, Olivia's life looked completely different: waking up earlier with intention, daily Bible time and journaling, movement and stretching, cooking meals regularly, and - most noticeably - doomscrolling "naturally" falling away as her nervous system and mind became more regulated. This conversation is a hopeful reminder that transformation often comes through small, consistent practices,not perfection.

In the lead-up to Ghislaine Maxwell's indictment and eventual arrest, a wide range of law enforcement agents representing multiple agencies were brought before the grand jury to lay out the evidentiary foundation of the case. Their testimony reflected a coordinated federal effort that had been building quietly for years, drawing on investigative work from different jurisdictions, timelines, and investigative lanes. Agents walked jurors through financial records, travel logs, victim accounts, electronic communications, and corroborating witness statements, showing how Maxwell functioned not as a peripheral figure, but as a central facilitator in Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation. The cumulative effect of this testimony was to establish pattern, intent, and continuity—demonstrating that Maxwell's actions were not isolated or accidental, but deliberate, repeated, and essential to the enterprise prosecutors were preparing to charge.In this episode, we take a close, methodical look at that grand jury testimony and what it reveals about how the case against Maxwell was constructed. By examining how different agencies' witnesses reinforced one another's findings, the episode highlights how prosecutors built a layered narrative designed to withstand both legal scrutiny and defense attacks. The testimony shows how long-standing investigative threads were finally pulled together after Epstein's death, transforming years of fragmented information into a cohesive criminal case. Rather than focusing on speculation or hindsight, this episode zeroes in on the mechanics of the prosecution itself—how law enforcement presented the evidence, why the grand jury ultimately moved forward, and how that testimony paved the way for Maxwell's arrest and indictment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00008744.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Man Died in Las Vegas and End Up in Hell - (Hell Testimony)

Scariest Hell Testimony

In this powerful follow-up episode of The Rooted in Christ Podcast, Eric Stephens sits down once again with Mick Wienholt to unpack a harrowing near-death experience that forever marked his life—and revealed the depth of God's grace even when Mick wanted nothing to do with Him.At just 19 years old, Mick triggered an avalanche while climbing a 14,000-foot peak in Colorado. What followed was a catastrophic fall, severe head trauma, emergency brain surgery, and a recovery that should not have been possible. Even more astonishing was the perfectly timed presence of a stranger named Steve—someone Mick firmly believes God sent to save his life.But this episode goes far beyond survival.Mick shares with raw honesty how, despite experiencing a miracle, his heart remained far from God for years. It wasn't until later tragedy—the loss of his son—that God fully captured his attention and revealed a truth that shattered him: even when Mick hated God, God never stopped loving him.This conversation dives into:A first-person account of surviving an avalanchePride, rebellion, and “rules without relationship”God's protection even when we are running from HimWhy miracles don't always lead to immediate faithHow grief, suffering, and honesty before God can lead to true relationshipEncouragement for anyone struggling to see God's hand in their painIf you've ever questioned God's presence in suffering, wrestled with anger toward Him, or wondered whether He still loves you in your rebellion—this episode is for you.

Andrew gives his testimony of how God saved him.

There's something incredibly powerful when we get to hear the hope and life change that happens in one of our brothers and sisters in Christ. When we hear another's story, it gives us hope to keep going ourselves. Listen in as Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, interview Jim, to hear an encouraging word and a portion of a powerful life change story.

During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, testimony from a woman identified as “Carolyn” focused on the mechanics of recruitment and grooming that brought young girls into Jeffrey Epstein's orbit. Carolyn described how she was first approached as a teenager under the guise of legitimate work and easy money, only to find herself drawn into a world where sexualized behavior was quickly normalized. She testified that what began as vague or misleading promises escalated into explicit expectations, with little room to refuse once she was inside Epstein's environment. Her account highlighted how confusion, financial pressure, and authority dynamics were used to keep young girls compliant and silent.Carolyn's testimony also placed Ghislaine Maxwell within that environment, describing Maxwell as a visible and authoritative presence in Epstein's life and homes. She testified that Maxwell exercised control, gave instructions to staff, and appeared fully aware of the girls coming and going. According to Carolyn, Maxwell's behavior conveyed ownership and supervision over the household, undermining claims that she was detached from or unaware of Epstein's activities. By situating Maxwell inside the daily operations of Epstein's residences, Carolyn's account contributed to the broader narrative that Maxwell knowingly participated in maintaining the structure that enabled Epstein's abuse.After testifying, Carolyn gave an interview in which she emphasized that taking the stand was about setting the record straight rather than seeking attention or vindication. She described the experience as emotionally draining but necessary, explaining that she felt a responsibility to speak honestly about what she witnessed inside Jeffrey Epstein's household and the environment that staff were expected to accept as normal. Carolyn reiterated that the routine presence of young girls was never subtle and that staff were implicitly discouraged from questioning what was happening. She also made clear that, in her view, Ghislaine Maxwell was not a peripheral figure but someone who exerted authority and awareness within that world. In reflecting on her testimony, Carolyn framed it as a way to counter years of minimization and denial, underscoring that the abuse Epstein carried out was enabled by a system that many people saw—and chose not to stop.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Tyler and Rebekah Leet share testimonies of God's transforming presence in their lives

Opening prayer and transition Prayer for healing of minds, emotions, and bodies in Jesus' name. Blessing over the people and light-hearted comment about “sinners/singers” saved by grace. Transition to the morning teaching and reference to the notes on fasting and prayer. Purpose of the teaching Many new people in the church do not fully understand prayer and fasting. Long-time members also need renewed direction, inspiration, and encouragement from Scripture for an effective and profitable fast. Pastor's personal struggle with coughing and mic; testimony of praying over the upcoming fast and the church. Realization: the Lord, as the Good Shepherd, cares more about the people and their fasting than the pastor does. Emphasis that believers must hear the Shepherd's voice; call to open hearts and spirits to the Word and notes. What fasting is (definition and biblical basis) Fasting described as a spiritual discipline taught in the Bible, not an afterthought or optional for Christians. Reference to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) and the three practices: praying, giving, fasting (“when you pray… when you give… when you fast,” not “if”). Reading/summary of Matthew 6:16–18: Do not fast to impress others; keep normal appearance; the Father sees in secret and rewards openly. Clarification: corporate fast cannot be fully secret, but the heart motive still must be God-centered, not people-centered. Cultural critique: problem of overeating and food addictions; fasting is needed, not optional. Why fast? Main reasons 1. Health and personal reset Fasting brings health benefits; warning about “digging graves with forks and spoons.” Pastor's personal testimony: fasting at the beginning of the year as a “reset” that affects months afterward and increases awareness of what is eaten. 2. Fasting gives more time for prayer Time normally used for preparing, eating, and cleaning up can be redirected to prayer. Acknowledgment of family responsibilities; encouragement to use available time for prayer. Biblical link between fasting and prayer: example from Acts 13 (worshiping, fasting, Holy Spirit speaks, Paul/Barnabas set apart). Explanation of the church's prayer schedule for the fasting week (Monday–Friday, 6:30–8:30 with personal prayer, worship, exhortation, and corporate prayer each night, plus guest ministers and special focuses). 3. Fasting shows the depth of desire in prayer Fasting demonstrates how serious and desperate a person is about a prayer need. Challenge to those struggling with addictions, family issues, or sin to get desperate enough to say no to food. Story of a former pastor who listed God's blessings and then asked, “What are you willing to do?” Scriptural support from Joel: Call a holy fast, sacred assembly; return to God with all the heart, with fasting and weeping. Teaching that fasting “turbocharges” prayer and reaches the core of one's being. 4. Fasting releases God's supernatural power Observation of revival signs: increased Bible sales, campus awakenings, baptisms, and renewed spirituality. Note that whenever God moves, the devil attacks (division, discouragement, defeat, depression, doubt). Emphasis that united prayer and fasting delivers decisive blows to the enemy. Scriptural examples: Ezra 8:23 (“we fasted and prayed… and he answered”). Isaiah 58:6 (fasting that loosens chains of injustice, breaks yokes, sets oppressed free). Testimony of church growth attributed to prayer and fasting (services, groups, leaders, missions). Warning: forward movement invites spiritual resistance, requiring vigilance and continued fasting. Importance of fasting in Scripture (examples) Often precedes major victories, miracles, and answered prayers. Examples listed: Moses fasting before receiving the Ten Commandments. Israelites fasting before miraculous victory. Daniel fasting for guidance and understanding God's plan (reading Jeremiah, receiving revelation). Personal example: pastor fasting over whom to marry and other major decisions (work, place to live, business partnerships, missions trips). Nehemiah fasting and praying before rebuilding Jerusalem's walls, completing a century-old problem in 52 days. Jesus fasting 40 days before public ministry and during temptation in the wilderness. First Christians fasting during key decision-making (Acts 13, etc.). Application: fast over important life decisions; don't rely on human wisdom alone. Precautions and heart posture in fasting Fasting is not: Earning answers or manipulating God. A hunger strike against God. Fasting is: Aligning with God's will and opening space for what God already desires to do. Health cautions: Fast only as health allows; consider partial fasts if on medication, etc. Warning against “sneaky” or superficial consecrations (e.g., trivial fasting windows that cost nothing). Encouragement to make fasting truly sacrificial and appropriate to one's work and physical capacity. Practical guidance: types and structure of fasting Types of fasts mentioned: Water fast (all food and juices abstained from; not recommended for everyone for five days). Partial fast (eliminating certain foods or meals). Juice fast (fruit or vegetable juices only). Counsel on nutrition and physical activity: Ensure nutrients; limit strenuous exercise; do not let exercise become an excuse to skip prayer/fasting. Guidance on breaking the fast: Avoid heavy foods immediately (e.g., burritos, large meals); ease back into eating with lighter foods like fruit. Corporate fasting and commitment Corporate fast provides structure, accountability, and mutual encouragement. Testimony of previous years: New believers and first-time fasters completing five days. Past 21-day fast (juice/soup only) and challenges met by the congregation. Value of structure: same as work or school schedules; helps people follow through. Mention of attendance statistics from previous years and desire to see increased participation (with the reminder that numbers represent people, not pride). Fasting as assumed biblical practice Jesus says “when you fast,” implying fasting is assumed for Christians. Note of a resurgence of fasting teaching in recent decades, including influence from African and global churches. Observation: when God prepares to move, he stirs people to prayer and fasting. Biblical reasons people fasted (summary list) Facing a crisis. Seeking God's protection and deliverance. Called to repentance and renewal. Asking God for guidance. Humbling themselves in worship. Dangers in the discipline Risk of empty ritual or fasting without meaning. Encouragement to start fasting and seek right motives as you go. Repeated call to hear the Good Shepherd's voice and recognize that God wants to speak, guide, and bless more than people often realize. Fasting as feasting on Jesus John Wesley quote: fasting must be done unto the Lord, with the eye singly fixed on Him, to glorify the Father.​ Story of an Indian orphanage that fasts every Friday and calls it “feasting on Jesus,” praying specifically for the American church. Call to fast and leadership responsibility Fasting starts with spiritual leaders and elders; leaders must model what they preach. Fasting often arises from spiritual desperation and urgency: “turn to me now while there is time.” Warning about increasing end-time deception; need for discernment and closeness to God. Fasting and inner focus Fasting is more about focus than food; more about saying yes to the Spirit than no to the body. It is an outward response to an inward cry, an expression of brokenness and need. Calls to return to God with the heart, not just external religious acts (rending hearts, not garments). Fasting as response of a broken heart; God is drawn to the weak, broken, needy. Immense responsibility and mission Believers carry the immense responsibility to be salt and light, preaching the gospel to a lost world. Fasting is a humble response to this responsibility, seeking God's help and power to fulfill the mission. Closing exhortation and prayer Pastor expresses desire to communicate God's heart and encourage participation in the fast. Emphasis that God wants to speak and move, and fasting clears space in the heart. Call to fresh consecration and commitment for individuals and families. Prayer that God will bless and strengthen everyone who takes part, and closing invitation to join nightly prayer during the fasting week.

Pastor Tim shares God-given vision for 2026. He highlights the need for prophetic vision from the Lord to bring order and blessing, warning that without it, people cast off restraint—as seen in the story of the golden calf. The core vision from Philippians 3:17-21 calls believers to live as citizens of heaven on earth, rejecting fleshly desires, shameful pursuits, and earthly mindsets that lead to destruction. Whether you're setting resolutions or seeking divine purpose, this message inspires you to embrace heavenly values, pursue discipline as disciples, and live abundantly in 2026 through Christ's power.CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!

At our first Testimony and Thanksgiving Service of 2026, Pastor Femi Paul delivered a prophetic word titled “Opportunity to go from Obscurity into Reckoning and Renown.” Anchored on Revelation 3:8, we were reminded that God is the Author of divine doors. Doors are that open not by human strength, but by obedience, faithfulness, and steadfast commitment to His Name. Though we may appear small in strength, heaven has taken full account of our walk, and God has responded decisively by opening doors that no man can shut. This is proof that divine recognition is not driven by noise, but by covenant. The word for us is clear. 2026 is our year of great and amazing opportunities. It is these God given opportunities that move His people from obscurity into reckoning and renown, into visibility backed by substance, recognition based on proven importance, and honour that cannot be denied. What was lacking before was not care, effort, or faith, it was opportunity. That season has ended. This year, amazing doors are standing wide open, ushering us into relevance, respect, and God ordained prominence. As God has spoken, the Church boldly responds in faith, Amen. Confession: Father, I receive my opportunity to move from obscurity into reckoning and renown. Doors no man can shut are opening before me. I step into divine recognition and honour in 2026, in Jesus' name. Amen.

The grand jury transcripts from Operation Leap Year, convened in West Palm Beach in 2007, reveal a federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein that was far broader and more aggressive than the charges that ultimately emerged. Testimony before the grand jury laid out evidence suggesting a coordinated, multi-victim sex-trafficking scheme involving interstate conduct, recruitment of minors, and the use of intermediaries to facilitate abuse. Witnesses described a consistent pattern: underage girls being recruited, transported, and paid, with corroboration from victims, law enforcement, and supporting records. The scope reflected in the transcripts indicates prosecutors were examining serious federal felonies—far beyond the narrow state solicitation counts that Epstein later pleaded to.What makes the transcripts especially significant is what happened next. Despite the gravity and breadth of evidence presented, the federal case was quietly shelved, and the investigation was effectively abandoned without a public accounting. The records underscore how the Department of Justice had a viable path to indict Epstein federally in 2007, a move that could have halted his abuse years earlier. Instead, the grand jury's work was sealed, the investigation dissolved, and Epstein was routed into an unusually lenient state resolution. In hindsight, Operation Leap Year stands as documentary proof that the failure to prosecute was not due to lack of evidence—but to a decision to walk away from a fully developed federal case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00009632.pdf

During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, testimony from Larry Visoski, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime pilot, provided jurors with a detailed look at Epstein's extensive travel patterns and the people who routinely accompanied him. Visoski described flying Epstein on numerous domestic and international trips over many years, including to the U.S. Virgin Islands, New Mexico, and overseas destinations. He testified that young women and girls were frequently passengers on these flights, sometimes traveling without parents or clear explanations for their presence. Visoski's testimony helped establish the scale and regularity of Epstein's operations, showing that the movement of underage girls was not incidental but a repeated and normalized part of Epstein's private air travel.David Rodgers, Epstein's former property manager in the U.S. Virgin Islands, complemented Visoski's testimony by explaining how Epstein's residences functioned on the ground, particularly on Little Saint James. Rodgers described seeing young girls at the island, observing their interactions with Epstein, and understanding that their presence was sexual in nature. He testified that the girls were often brought to Epstein as part of an expected routine and that staff understood not to interfere. Together, Visoski and Rodgers provided corroborating insider accounts—one from the air and one from the ground—that reinforced the prosecution's argument that Ghislaine Maxwell was part of a broader, sustained system that enabled Epstein's abuse rather than a peripheral figure disconnected from it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

During the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, Juan Alessi—Jeffrey Epstein's longtime estate manager—testified as a key insider who provided jurors with a ground-level view of how Epstein's properties operated on a daily basis. Alessi described his responsibilities managing Epstein's homes, particularly in Palm Beach, and explained how young girls were regularly brought to the residence for what were described as “massages.” He testified that this was not an occasional or hidden occurrence but a routine part of life at the house, with frequent visits by underage girls and systems in place to manage their arrivals and departures. Alessi also confirmed that payments were made to the girls, reinforcing the prosecution's argument that the abuse was organized and transactional rather than spontaneous or misunderstood.Alessi's testimony was especially damaging because it placed Ghislaine Maxwell directly inside the operational structure of Epstein's abuse. He told the jury that Maxwell was regularly present at the Palm Beach home, was aware of the girls coming and going, and at times interacted with them herself. His account undermined the defense's attempt to portray Maxwell as detached from Epstein's criminal conduct, instead depicting her as someone who knew exactly what was happening inside the house. By confirming the routine nature of the visits and Maxwell's proximity to them, Alessi's testimony helped establish knowledge, continuity, and intent—critical elements for the prosecution's case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Angela Hanscom—founder of TimberNook and author of Balanced and Barefoot—is back, and this conversation goes somewhere we've never gone before: the behind-the-scenes yes that built a worldwide movement out of one mom's quiet, out-of-her-comfort-zone obedience. We talk entrepreneurship in this episode and so much more. If you've ever felt pulled toward something meaningful but intimidating, this episode will be the nudge forward you need. Angela also talks about motherhood in the middle of all that work: your kids are watching your courage, humility, and resilience. We talk fear (ticks, travel, being the center of attention), discernment (how to recognize what's from God), and why 60 minutes of movement isn't remotely enough for kids who are made to move for hours. Angela shares what thrilling play actually looks like and why it's one of the most practical ways we can push back on the social-emotional crisis we're seeing in children. If this episode encourages you, share it with a friend who needs hope—and please leave a review. It's one of the simplest ways to help more families find this message. Thanks for listening!
