In the immortal words of the great Kenny Rogers:

You've got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away

And know when to run

You never count your money

When you're sittin' at the table

There'll be time enough for countin'

When the dealin's done

See you sometime after Nov. 3, 2020

Be well.

No fanfare-

It just keeps happening.

I'm scared.

And I'm tired.

So glad it wasn't caught on video.

I can't watch one more.

Operation Vulgar Betrayal was the codename the FBI hid behind while conducting surveillance in Bridgeview, Illinois, beginning in the 80s. The crime? Terrorism. The accused? The FBI.

Please watch "The Feeling of Being Watched" a documentary by Assia Boundaoui, one victim of the FBIs intrusive and fruitless investigation.

This news is HUGE, if true-

The worst kind of assault is being alleged against a private detention center.

Major news outlets are reporting that DHS is investigating a detention center in Ocilla, GA, for allegations of inhumane conditions and forced sterilizations.

My app was giving me issues, so I had to run this without an edit (sorry).

Let me know what you think of this bombshell report from the NY Times' Caitlin Dickerson!

In early 20th century France, two young sisters capture the attention of the entire country after participating in a heinous double murder.  Did the women suffer from undiagnosed mental illnesses or were they simply sick and tired of being sick and tired?  We’ll find out what the French courts decided but, if you’re like me, you may come to a different conclusion. The Papin Sisters in the Style of Tasha Pierce

In this season of protest against the brutality many people of color face from police, it is only right to shed a light on the many victims of inner-city violence, particularly in Chicago.  Please, don’t mistake my message as getting on a soapbox, spouting the “black-on-black” crime rhetoric.  The truth is, I want us to care about us.  Our enemy is not only the subset of law enforcement who abuse their power- but it is also the cowards who are robbing our children of a future.

The weeks continue to get more and more deadly.  In fact, Chicago has surpassed the most deaths on a single day since they have kept records of this statistic.  The last day of May recorded 18 homicides, the most in 5 decades.  In fact, throughout May, 2020, there were over 1100 victims of gun violence.  Eleven hundred in just the first five months of the year.  If history is our guide, there will be an increase in homicides and shootings as the weather gets warmer.

September 22, 2006, started like any other Friday at Pocatello High School.  Kids were scurrying to classes while making plans for the weekend.  Cassie Stoddart was at her locker when her friends Torrie Adamcik and Brian Draper showed up at her locker.  These two were Mormons and aspiring filmmakers.  Most of the time they documented the day’s events with a camcorder.  Today was no different- this morning, they aimed the camera at Cassie and told her to say “Hi”.

As podcasters, we have a platform and duty to speak up and call out injustice. and amplify the voices of black podcasters that deserve more recognition. Racism is prevalent in all industries; the media who under-report on black victims to the justice system which routinely fails black victims. In this collaborative episode, we document black history and current events with the voices of those who have lived through it.

We have discussed the problem ad nausea. Today is about offering solutions. We are at a crossroads- the public has overwhelmingly signaled that WE WANT CHANGE! The old system of racism and profiling is old news. It's one thing to desire equality and something else entirely to achieve it. Today, Barack Obama gave us the cornerstone to affecting real change. Some of us knew this and just needed a reminder. For others, this will be the first time you hear how we move forward AFTER the protests. This will be work- nothing good ever comes easy. After seeing the national and global response to these most recent injustices, I know you are up for it. Let me know how YOU will be actively implementing change in your judiciary.

(Drunken Rant) What can we do while black? We can’t eat ice cream in our home, play video games IN OUR HOMES, drive, exercise, shop, buy skittles, listen to music, go to work- what the fuck is safe to do while black?  I’ve got a son, several nephews, brothers, cousins, friends- and I TRULY worry about their safety.  Why?  Simply put- because of white fear.  Trust me- I’m scared shitless of white folks.

  It was November 18, 1993, in St. Ann, Missouri. Angie Housman was nine-years-old.  Like every day, she was excited to get home when she hopped off the bus after school.  She lived about 5 minutes from the bus stop.  Some days, she would run just to get home faster.  Unfortunately for her, she would never make it to her home.

Well, today’s story is kind of similar to that feeling of familiarity with a rising star. Set in the 1960s, the journey begins at a time of civil unrest in the United States. The Black population, mostly descendants of slaves, continued to face persecution and discrimination. A lot has been overcome since then, although we still have quite a bit of work to do. But this is a story of a people rising above inequality by any means necessary. This is about women using their God-given talent as a means to bring the nation together. It’s about kidnapping. It’s about fraud. And it’s about redemption. Spoiler alert- nobody dies but one woman learns what it means to live.

Earl Van Best Jr. was 27 years old when he met Judy Chandler, 13  at the time. It was October 1961 and they were in front of an ice cream shop in San Francisco.  He became fixated on the teen, but Van Best knew he was far too old to be trying to court Judy. Worse, she had a less than ideal home life- her father was said to be abusive which made her a prime target for a guy who knew how to say all the right things.. Van Best did continue his pursuit and the two began sneaking to see one another for months.  The couple was soon found out, and the whole city was disturbed to know a pedophile was operating and grooming young girls in their area.

Jennifer Kocsis loved karaoke. Friends say she would go to sing it anywhere, anytime.

On Saturday morning, not long after 1 a.m., she sang a duet with a longtime friend. It was Kenny Rogers, "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer."

It was the last song she'd ever sing.

This week I would like to discuss True Crime stories that have been dominating the headlines. Most of us have opinions on these cases, but my goal today is to review what we KNOW so far. Just like every other case I break down, I will share my thoughts as well. Please note that all of the players are innocent until proven guilty. If I was seated on a jury and presented evidence that would lead to reasonable doubt, I believe I would be able to vote accordingly. I hope the same goes for the members of my audience.

Oxygen released a full length documentary that explores the child sexual abuse accusations that are plaguing the Jehovah’s Witness organization. I have been following the allegations for a number of years, so this is hardly a new issue, but it is gaining media attention due to the sheer number of lawsuits that are being levied against the religion.

I am particularly interested in following this story because I was once married to a member of the religion (my son's dad) and I did study the Bible with my former mother in law and spouse. I had very strong opinions then, but I felt as if I wasn’t giving the religion a fair shot due to my Baptist upbringing. I have long since re-evaluated my thoughts on ALL organized religion and as the stories pile up I am glad that I never was indoctrinated into the Witnesses.

Throughout the series, we hear excerpts from conversations that disgraced NFL start Aaron Hernandez had with the people closest to him.  Of course, being a guest of any prison comes with a total lack of privacy. The calls in and out are recorded and we get to be a fly on the wall when Aaron spoke with his agent, his mom Teri, his cousin Tonya, and his fiancee Shayanna.  The calls that were featured in the series offers a little insight into the mindset of Hernandez. They also give us a glimpse of the relationships that he had with these people.

Okay, so we start at the beginning- Aaron and his older brother DJ were being raised in Bristol, Connecticut by their father Dennis and mother Terri.  Dennis is kind of a local legend in football so there’s no surprise that his boys were introduced to the sport early. Dennis is described as a “man’s man” very hyper-masculine. He was strict on his boys.  Known around as the King, DJ and Aaron were his heirs apparent. They may as well had been William and Harry as far as he was concerned. They were being primed to step in his oversized footprints.

 Here is the summary from Fatal Charm:

Smith, a prize-winning reporter for The Seattle Times, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in investigative reporting for his coverage of the Green River Killer case. Now he reveals the shocking true story of serial wife-killer Randy Roth, the alluring, handsome man who was caught after his fourth wife "accidentally" drowned.

Once again, a description that is short and sweet.  Tells us enough to help us decide if we’re interested.   And of course, I’m interested.

Candy Montgomery and Betty Gore had a lot in common: They sang together in the Methodist church choir, their daughters were best friends, and their husbands had good jobs working for technology companies in the north Dallas suburbs known as Silicon Prairie. But beneath the placid surface of their seemingly perfect lives, both women simmered with unspoken frustrations and unanswered desires.

Let me tell you, growing up in the ‘90s was something else.  The societal rules were far more blurred than they are today- and I think that it is our responsibility to call out bad behavior to improve our relationships with one another.  I said that because I argue with friends on this point regularly. I graduated from high school in 1991. When I was in school it wasn’t unusual for students and teachers to be romantically involved.  I never had an inappropriate relationship, but I was propositioned. Looking back with hindsight, I talked to one of my girlfriends about how garbage it was that these teachers abused the trust and took advantage of those young girls.  She argued that she had been involved with a teacher and she had pursued the relationship. And you know what? It’s normal for young people to develop a crush on some adults. The thing that bothers me is that these adults didn’t show the restraint to avoid acting on those urges.

 I think it was a good idea for Williams to deliver her story, in her voice. But, Rachel, I got questions, girl! Before we get to the reasons I find this story to be absolutely batshit, let’s see what Goodreads tells us about the book.

Sex and the City meets Catch Me if You Can in the astonishing true story of Anna Delvey, a young con artist posing as a German heiress in New York City—as told by the former Vanity Fair photo editor who got seduced by her friendship and then scammed out of more than $62,000.

Bobbie Jo was awaiting Darlene’s arrival.  In the meantime, she talked with her mom. Becky Harper, Bobbie Jo’s mother, was also full of anticipation for the birth of her first grandchild.  She regularly checked in on her expectant daughter and planned to do that later that afternoon. She was so proud of Bobbie Jo and Zeb. How they almost personified love in their relationship and that they were starting a family. How Bobbie Jo’s glow only got brighter during their marriage and now in her pregnancy. Zeb was a good husband and provider.  They were living their dream. As they spoke on the phone, Bobbie Jo noticed that her customer had arrived and quickly ended their conversation. Becky had no way of knowing this would be the last time she heard her daughter’s voice.

Mary Anne Pohlreich was 27 years old. She moved to Bellevue to study computers and was working as a telemarketer.She shared an apartment with a friend.Mary Anne had a strict Christian upbringing, and she was kind of relishing her newfound freedom.She began frequenting a night spot- not the Black Angus, but a place called Papagayo's.There she would sip drinks with friends, chat with other partiers and dance the night away.On Friday, June 23, 1990, she got dressed and hit the club with a couple of her girlfriends.Liquor flowed, music played, and dancing ensued.In fact, Mary Anne had personally requested MC Hammer's song "U Can't Touch This" at least 5 times.She was having a lot of fun and I'm pretty sure that more than a few of you can relate to the club scene in the 90s.

In Charmer, we meet Russell as a boy about the same age as I was when I learned that monsters live among us. He was wise beyond his years. He would talk to anyone. His conversation was so mature that it was easy to forget you were talking to a child. He was cautious as well- he’d get a person to talk and talk without disclosing much about himself. He was guarded that way. His family was among only a handful of blacks who lived on Mercer Island. He lived with his mom Joyce, a college professor; his stepfather, a dentist; and his baby sister. From the outer appearance, he seemed to have an ideal home life. Upon further investigation, we soon learn that George was a neglected and lonely boy.

He never had any really close friends as a youth. He was more like an accessory- kinda like TV shows that have a white ensemble cast and one black guy on the periphery of the group. George was always on the periphery.

The pitch went like this: Chris Butler, a retired cop, ran a private investigator firm in Concord, California. His business had a fascinating angle—his firm was staffed entirely by soccer moms.

In fact, Butler employed PI Super Moms: attractive, organized, smart, and trained in investigative techniques, self-defense, and weaponry. This American Life host Ira Glass described them as “MILF: Charlie’s Angels.”

When this story came across Pete Crooks’s desk when he was working at Diablo magazine in 2010, he was instantly hooked. He’d heard a little bit about Butler and his super moms in the news; they’d been featured in People magazine and on Dr. Phil. What Butler’s publicist was offering was too tantalizing to pass up: an opportunity to ride along with Butler and a few of his sexy PIs as they prepared to start filming a reality TV show.

 He soon found himself deep in the underbelly of fake sting operations, wannabe celebrities, police corruption, drug-dealing, reality television, double-crossing employees, and more twists and turns than a dozen crime thrillers.

Sheila Davalloo was young, attractive, and successful. When she started a new job at a cutting-edge research lab in Stamford, Connecticut, she met the man of her dreams. Nelson Sessler had no idea how violently Sheila would react when he began seeing a coworker, Anna Lisa Raymundo. Sheila eliminated her rival in a bloody knife attack--and then turned her rage on another victim she saw as an obstacle to her passions.- "Obsessed" by M. William Phelps
