In Washington, half a dozen men have been transferred to a female prison facility. The facility has adopted the practice of allowing a transfer for any person who identifies as female. Those transfers are being housing in the general population with female cellmates.

Mexico has legalized marijuana.

Good Wednesday morning! Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics, including:

At least eight people were killed Tuesday in shootings at three spas in the Atlanta area.

Many media outlets are saying this mass shooting is because of racism. How do we know that? Are we just assuming? Does this create more divisiveness?

ALSO - Neighbors surrounding the site of George Floyd's death share what it's really like living in that area.

Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy's office was warned that ordering nursing homes to readmit residents recovering from COVID-19 would lead to unnecessary deaths, a new report reveals.

ALSO - New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called for an investigation into the head of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's vaccination program, who had reportedly called county executives to see if they support Cuomo during his multiple scandals.

Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including:

A St. Louis, Mo., family court judge, Nicole Zellweger, has launched an all-out judicial assault on Angela Freiner and her minor daughter, who are refusing her order to make the 14-year-old girl return to the man who she says sexually molested her. You can read more here.

Evita Tolu is representing Angela Freiner.

Tolu has filed a lawsuit against family court guardian ad litem (GAL) Elaine Pudlowski, psychologist James Reid, and clinical social worker Jennifer Webbe VanLuven, alleging that the trio conspired to use her custody dispute as an opportunity to get rich while sentencing her children to life with an abuser.

The lawsuit alleges a scheme perpetrated by a group of professionals to drain parents involved in custody battles. At the end of the court process, parents are broke and kids are traumatized while GALs, court-appointed psychologists, and therapists are enriched. Tolu says the scheme kept her in court for three years, drained her bank account, and alienated her children from her.

The suit alleges that this pattern is a regular family court occurrence when Pudlowski is involved.

31 Missouri Judges have recused themselves from hearing the lawsuit. You can read more here.

Freiner sent an impassioned email to Zellweger after the court jailed her for two days and incarcerated her daughter in the mental ward at St. Louis Children’s Hospital for refusing Zellweger’s order to go quietly with her father. She was then arrested and jailed AGAIN after sending the email.

Nick talks about a variety of topics in the news, including:

The military being used against the media.

There is more talk that former Gov. Eric Greitens will run for Sen. Roy Blunt's seat.

ALSO - A former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo told independent investigators about his alleged “preoccupation with his hand size” — and what that supposedly meant, her lawyer said Monday.

Good Tuesday morning! Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including:

At least two major news outlets have issued corrections following the publication of an audio recording of a December phone call between then-President Trump and a top Georgia elections investigator.

Democrats leaned on this false quote during impeaching hearings.

It’s one thing if a single news outlet publishes a fraudulent anonymously sourced “scoop.” It’s another thing entirely if multiple newsrooms claim they independently “confirmed” the fraudulent “scoop” with anonymous sources of their own.

Comedian Sarah Silverman ripped the Democratic Party, criticizing the Democrats for not allowing progress and suggesting that she no longer wants to be associated with any party.
