Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys, has passed away at 82.

The Beach Boys will always be an iconic group in American pop culture, having seem them live twice in my life in the 90's I can tell you they were awesome. I've been a big fan my whole life as the music they made was just fun and nothing offensive. The way music should be right? Now we have the sane news that the visionary lead whose genius for melody, arrangements and wide-eyed self-expression inspired "Good Vibrations," "California Girls" and other summertime anthems and made him one of the world's most influential recording artists, has left us, his family said in a statement posted to his website and social media accounts. 

Brian Wilson was 82... "We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away," the family said in Wednesday's statement. "We are at a loss for words right now. Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world." Details weren't immediately available. Since May 2024, Wilson had been under a court conservatorship to oversee his personal and medical affairs, with Wilson's longtime representatives, publicist Jean Sievers and manager LeeAnn Hard, in charge. 

The eldest and last surviving of three musical brothers Brian played bass, Carl lead guitar and Dennis drums he and his fellow Beach Boys rose in the 1960s from local California band to national hitmakers to international ambassadors of surf and sun. Wilson himself was celebrated for his gifts and pitied for his demons. He was one of rock's great Romantics, a tormented man who in his peak years embarked on an ever-steeper path to aural perfection, the one true sound.

"It is indeed hard to talk about the influence of Brian Wilson just on music because he is a shaper of American myth and American culture," Joe Levy, a contributor to Rolling Stone and Billboard, told CBS News following the news of Wilson's death. "Our popular ideas about California a land of surf and sun many of them come from Beach Boys songs." The Beach Boys rank among the most popular groups of the rock era, with more than 30 singles in the Top 40 and worldwide sales of more than 100 million. The 1966 album "Pet Sounds" was voted No. 2 in a 2003 Rolling Stone list of the best 500 albums, losing out, as Wilson had done before, to the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." 

The Beach Boys, who also featured Wilson cousin Mike Love and childhood friend Al Jardine, were voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. Wilson feuded with Love over songwriting credits, but peers otherwise adored him beyond envy, from Elton John and Bruce Springsteen to Katy Perry and Carole King. The Who's drummer, Keith Moon, fantasized about joining the Beach Boys. Paul McCartney cited "Pet Sounds" as a direct inspiration on the Beatles and the ballad "God Only Knows" as among his favorite songs, often bringing him to tears.

Wilson moved and fascinated fans and musicians long after he stopped having hits. In his later years, Wilson and a devoted entourage of younger musicians performed "Pet Sounds" and his restored opus, "Smile," before worshipful crowds in concert halls. Meanwhile, The Go-Go's, Lindsey Buckingham, Animal Collective and Janelle Monáe were among a wide range of artists who emulated him, whether as a master of crafting pop music or as a pioneer of pulling it apart. The Beach Boys' music was like an ongoing party, with Wilson as host and wallflower. 

He was a tall, shy man, partially deaf (allegedly because of beatings by his father, Murry Wilson), with a sweet, crooked grin, and he rarely touched a surfboard unless a photographer was around. But out of the lifestyle that he observed and such musical influences as Chuck Berry and the Four Freshmen, he conjured a golden soundscape sweet melodies, shining harmonies, vignettes of beaches, cars and girls that resonated across time and climates.

Decades after its first release, a Beach Boys song can still conjure instant summer the wake-up guitar riff that opens "Surfin' USA"; the melting vocals of "Don't Worry Baby"; the chants of "fun, fun, fun" or "good, good, GOOD, good vibrations"; the behind-the-wheel chorus "'Round, 'round, get around, I get around." Beach Boys songs have endured from turntables and transistor radios to boom boxes and iPhones, or any device that could lay on a beach towel or be placed upright in the sand.

The band's innocent appeal survived the group's increasingly troubled backstory, whether Brian's many personal trials, the feuds and lawsuits among band members or the alcoholism of Dennis Wilson, who drowned in 1983. Brian Wilson's ambition raised the Beach Boys beyond the pleasures of their early hits and into a world transcendent, eccentric and destructive. They seemed to live out every fantasy, and many nightmares, of the California myth they helped create. 

Brian Wilson was born June 20, 1942, two days after McCartney. His musical gifts were soon obvious, and as a boy he was playing piano and teaching his brothers to sing harmony. The Beach Boys started as a neighborhood act, rehearsing in Brian's bedroom and in the garage of their house in suburban Hawthorne, California. Surf music, mostly instrumental in its early years, was catching on locally: Dennis Wilson, the group's only real surfer, suggested they cash in. Brian and Love hastily wrote up their first single, "Surfin,'" a minor hit released in 1961.

They wanted to call themselves the Pendletones, in honor of a popular flannel shirt they wore in early publicity photos. But when they first saw the pressings for "Surfin,'" they discovered the record label had tagged them "The Beach Boys." Other decisions were handled by their father, a musician of some frustration who hired himself as manager and holy terror. By mid-decade, Murry Wilson had been displaced and Brian, who had been running the band's recording sessions almost from the start, was in charge, making the Beach Boys the rare group of the time to work without an outside producer. 

Their breakthrough came in early 1963 with "Surfin' USA," so closely modeled on Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen" that Berry successfully sued to get a songwriting credit. It was their first Top 10 hit and a boast to the nation: "If everybody had an ocean / across the USA / then everybody'd be surfin,' / like Cali-for-nye-ay." From 1963-66, they were rarely off the charts, hitting No. 1 with "I Get Around" and "Help Me, Rhonda" and narrowly missing with "California Girls" and "Fun, Fun, Fun." For television appearances, they wore candy-striped shirts and grinned as they mimed their latest hit, with a hot rod or surfboard nearby.

Their music echoed private differences. Wilson often contrasted his own bright falsetto with Love's nasal, deadpan tenor. The extroverted Love was out front on the fast songs, but when it was time for a slow one, Brian took over. "The Warmth of the Sun" was a song of despair and consolation that Wilson alleged to some skepticism he wrote the morning after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. "Don't Worry Baby," a ballad equally intoxicating and heartbreaking, was a leading man's confession of doubt and dependence, an early sign of Brian's crippling anxieties.

Stress and exhaustion led to a breakdown in 1964 and his retirement from touring, his place soon filled by Bruce Johnston, who remained with the group for decades. Wilson was an admirer of Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" productions and emulated him on Beach Boys tracks, adding sleigh bells to "Dance, Dance, Dance" or arranging a mini-theme park of guitar, horns, percussion and organ as the overture to "California Girls." By the mid-1960s, the Beach Boys were being held up as the country's answer to the Beatles, a friendly game embraced by each group, transporting pop music to the level of "art" and leaving Wilson a broken man. 

The Beatles opened with "Rubber Soul," released in late 1965 and their first studio album made without the distractions of movies or touring. It was immediately praised as a major advance, the lyrics far more personal and the music far more subtle and sophisticated than such earlier hits as "She Loves You" and "A Hard Day's Night." Wilson would recall getting high and listening to the record for the first time, promising himself he would not only keep up with the British band, but top them.

Wilson worked for months on what became "Pet Sounds," and months on the single "Good Vibrations." He hired an outside lyricist, Tony Asher, and used various studios, with dozens of musicians and instruments ranging from violins to bongos to the harpsichord. The air seemed to cool on some tracks and the mood turn reflective, autumnal. From "I Know There's an Answer" to "You Still Believe in Me," many of the songs were ballads, reveries, brushstrokes of melody, culminating in the sonic wonders of "Good Vibrations," a psychedelic montage that at times sounded as if recorded in outer space. 

The results were momentous, yet disappointing. "Good Vibrations" was the group's first million-seller and "Pet Sounds," which included the hits "Sloop John B" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice," awed McCartney, John Lennon and Eric Clapton among others. Widely regarded as a new kind of rock LP, it was more suited to headphones than to the radio, a "concept" album in which individual songs built to a unified experience, so elaborately crafted in the studio that "Pet Sounds" couldn't be replicated live with the technology of the time. Wilson was likened not just to the Beatles, but to Mozart and George Gershwin, whose "Rhapsody in Blue" had inspired him since childhood.

But the album didn't chart as highly as previous Beach Boys releases and was treated indifferently by the U.S. record label, Capitol. The Beatles, meanwhile, were absorbing lessons from the Beach Boys and teaching some in return. "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper," the Beatles' next two albums, drew upon the Beach Boys' vocal tapestries and melodic bass lines and even upon the animal sounds from the title track of "Pet Sounds." The Beatles' epic "A Day in the Life" reconfirmed the British band as kings of the pop world and "Sgt. Pepper" as the album to beat.

All eyes turned to Wilson and his intended masterpiece a "teenage symphony to God" he called "Smile." It was a whimsical cycle of songs on nature and American folklore written with lyricist Van Dyke Parks. The production bordered on method acting; for a song about fire, Wilson wore a fire helmet in the studio. The other Beach Boys were confused, and strained to work with him. A shaken Wilson delayed "Smile," then canceled it. 

Remnants, including the songs "Heroes and Villains" and "Wind Chimes" were re-recorded and issued in September 1967 on "Smiley Smile," dismissed by Carl Wilson as a "bunt instead of a grand slam." The stripped down "Wild Honey," released three months later, became a critical favorite but didn't restore the band's reputation. The Beach Boys soon descended into an oldies act, out of touch with the radical '60s, and Wilson withdrew into seclusion.

Addicted to drugs and psychologically helpless, sometimes idling in a sandbox he had built in his living room, Wilson didn't fully produce another Beach Boys record for years. Their biggest hit of the 1970s was a greatest hits album, "Endless Summer," that also helped reestablish them as popular concert performers. Although well enough in the 21st century to miraculously finish "Smile" and tour and record again, Wilson had been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and baffled interviewers with brief and disjointed answers. Among the stranger episodes of Wilson's life was his relationship with Dr. Eugene Landy, a psychotherapist accused of holding a Svengali-like power over him. 

A 1991 lawsuit from Wilson's family blocked Landy from Wilson's personal and business affairs. His first marriage, to singer Marilyn Rovell, ended in divorce and he became estranged from daughters Carnie and Wendy, who would help form the pop trio Wilson Phillips. His life stabilized in 1995 with his marriage to Melinda Ledbetter, who gave birth to two more daughters, Daria and Delanie. He also reconciled with Carnie and Wendy and they sang together on the 1997 album "The Wilsons." (Melinda Ledbetter died in 2024.)

In 1992, Brian Wilson eventually won a $10 million out-of-court settlement for lost songwriting royalties. But that victory and his 1991 autobiography, "Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Own Story," set off other lawsuits that tore apart the musical family. Carl Wilson and other relatives believed the book was essentially Landy's version of Brian's life and questioned whether Brian had even read it. Their mother, Audree Wilson, unsuccessfully sued publisher HarperCollins because the book said she passively watched as her husband beat Brian as a child. Love successfully sued Brian Wilson, saying he was unfairly deprived of royalties after contributing lyrics to dozens of songs. He would eventually gain ownership of the band's name. The Beach Boys still released an occasional hit single: "Kokomo," made without Wilson, hit No. 1 in 1988. 

Wilson, meanwhile, released such solo albums as "Brian Wilson" and "Gettin' In Over My Head," with cameos by McCartney and Clapton among others. He also completed a pair of albums for the Walt Disney label a collection of Gershwin songs and music from Disney movies. In 2012, surviving members of the Beach Boys reunited for a 50th anniversary album, which quickly hit the Top 10 before the group again bickered and separated.

Wilson won two competitive Grammys, for the solo instrumental "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" and for "The Smile Sessions" box set. Otherwise, his honors ranged from a Grammy lifetime achievement prize to a tribute at the Kennedy Center to induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

In 2018, he returned to his old high school in Hawthorne and witnessed the literal rewriting of his past: The principal erased an "F" he had been given in music and awarded him an "A." Until the next show in Heaven we all wish him safe passage and will always be rocking out to his music. Losing the greats hurts, and this one is no different.

May he rest in eternal peace catching the waves on the other side. Indeed GOOD VIBRATIONS HAD!

Elon Musk to Spend Less Time At DOGE as of May

Elon Musk had let it be known as of a few weeks ago that in May he would step back a bit from Doge to focus on Tesla and Space X and on Tuesday he re confirmed that he does indeed plan to dramatically scale back his work for the Department of Government Efficiency starting in May and turn his attention more fully to automaker Tesla, which just reported a 71% drop in net profit for the first quarter. After all these morons on the liberal left started to burn the cars, and trucks, and key them and what not. 

But he said that “I think I’ll continue to spend a day or two per week on government matters for as long as [President Donald Trump] would like me to do, and as long as it is useful. But starting next month, I’ll be allocating far more of my time to Tesla,” Musk also said in opening remarks at an audio cast Q&A after Tesla’s March quarter numbers were announced.

The billionaire, who is the world’s richest individual according to Forbes, noted blow back against his role at DOGE, a new entity launched by Donald Trump to unearth what it says are billions of dollars of fraud and abuse in government. Tesla sales have been slumping in the U.S. and abroad and there have been ongoing incidents of Tesla vehicles being vandalized. Tesla showrooms have been targeted by protesters as DOGE has gutted federal departments and agencies, resulting in thousands of layoffs and glitches in critical services. Many DOGE initiatives are being challenged in courts in multiple lawsuits.

A report in early April by job placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas said more than 280,000 layoffs across 27 agencies over previous two months were linked to DOGE efforts. And as we found out these layoff were all of people who literally did nothing for their pay and were all DEI hired by liberals. So this is a good thing we did here folks. Justified since these people when asked what was their job they couldn't answer it.

“There’s been some blow back for time [spent] in government with the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE,” Musk said. “I think the work that we’re doing there is actually very important to rein in the deficit that is leading our country … to destruction. And the DOGE team has made a lot of progress in addressing waste and fraud. But [there’s] a natural blow back from … those who were receiving the wasteful dollars and the fraudulent dollars.” They “will try to attack me and anything associated with me,” he said. Musk said he thinks much of the heavy lifting at DOGE is done, allowing “my time allocation … to drop significantly.” He said he will continue to be involved in DOGE likely for “the remainder of the President’s term, just make sure that the waste and fraud that we stopped does not come roaring back.”

He reassured Tesla shareholders, who have knocked the stock lower this year, that despite the weak quarter the company has “been through many near death experiences … and this is not one of those times … not even close.” He also called tariffs implemented by the Trump administration on U.S. global trading partners “tough” on the company. Many U.S. cars and even more auto parts come from overseas. “I just want to emphasize that the tariff decision is entirely up to the President of the United States. I will weigh in with my advice, with the President. 

He will listen to my advice, but then it’s up to him to make this decision. I’ve been on the record many times as saying that I believe lower tariffs are generally a good idea for prosperity, but this decision is finally up to the elected representative of the people, being the President of the United States. 

So, I’ll continue to advocate for lower tariffs rather than higher tariffs, but that’s all I can do.” Also just because Elon is taking less time working with Doge and might step away all together the department is set and it's NOT going away it just means it's got the people in place who are doing the work, and so he can step back and work on Tesla and Space X, and those big Fucking Rockets we all love! 

Aliens? Nope. Starlink satellites light up Big Country sky

Texas – A mysterious glowing circle lit up the sky Saturday night, leaving Big Country residents puzzled and snapping photos in awe.

Around 9:25 p.m. on April 12, people across the region spotted what looked like a bright ball of light with a glowing ring around it. Check out these photos and video sent in by Nicole, who caught the strange sight from Lake Fort Phantom Hill.

While some took to social media to joke that it was aliens, the glowing sky actually had a high-tech explanation. As seen in the footage the light came from a fresh batch of Starlink satellites part of Elon Musk’s SpaceX project to provide high-speed internet in rural areas.

The launch happened at 8:53 p.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was part of the Starlink Group 12-17 mission, which deployed 21 new satellites into orbit.

Reports that the glowing “halo” was the rocket’s exhaust plume catching sunlight high in the atmosphere. The gases reflect the light, creating that eerie, bubble-like effect seen from the ground.

Trillions in lost money?

The Pentagon has NEVER passed an audit and our government cannot pass an audit but We The People are audited for $5 we received we can't account for? The double standards are outrageous and do no much harm to us the people who have been forced to foot the bill for the wasted money and fraud spending, and black budget projects. These agencies/departments that haven’t passed an audit, EVER, need to be closed down immediately! If their work is vital, send it to another agency. 

With approximately 450 agencies/departments, we could lose 80% and still function fine.

According to Bloomberg’s Anthony Carpaccio, the Department of Defense made $35 trillion in “accounting adjustments” in 2019, easily surpassing the $30.7 trillion in such adjustments recorded in 2018. Carpaccio notes that the number “dwarfs the $738 billion of defense-related funding in the latest U.S. budget, a spending plan that includes the most expensive weapons systems in the world including the F-35 jet as well as new aircraft carriers, destroyers and submarines.” It’s also “larger than the entire U.S. economy and underscores the Defense Department’s continuing difficulty in balancing its books.”

So what are these accounting adjustments? Todd Harrison of the Center for Strategic and International Studies says they represent “a lot of double, triple, and quadruple counting of the same money as it got moved between accounts” within the Pentagon. “A lot” may be an understatement: According to government data, there were 562,568 adjustments made in the Pentagon’s books in 2018. Why it matters: More broadly, the number highlights the persistent lack of internal financial controls at the Pentagon, which makes it extremely difficult to account properly for spending in the largest government budget. “Although it gets scant public attention compared with airstrikes, troop deployments, sexual assault statistics or major weapons programs, the reliability of the Pentagon’s financial statement is an indication of how effectively the military manages its resources considering that it receives over half of discretionary domestic spending,” Carpaccio says.

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), who asked the Government Accountability Office to look into the issue, said the “combined errors, shorthand, and sloppy record-keeping by DoD accountants do add up to a number nearly 1.5 times the size of the U.S. economy,” and charged that the Pentagon “employs accounting adjustments like a contractor paints over mold. Their priority is making the situation look manageable, not solving the underlying problem.”

With that many agencies/departments, they don’t talk to each other, share info, and are WAY TOO involved in our daily lives. Our Founding Fathers created a SMALL, LIMITED government, not the huge mega employer. (The largest employer in the US is the federal government, think about that one). Most of the black hole the money entered is literally going to black budget projects dealing with other worldly Tech. YES UFO's/UAP's are involved in getting this lost money. A LOT went to companies like Lockheed Martin and other members of the companies used to create things from crashed found and traded to us "UFO'S" or SPACE CRAFTS from Other worlds. Our service members have a very special place in how this country runs, but I’d cancel the Pentagon’s funding (with the exception of pay for service members) if they cannot account for the Trillions for decades which add up to the $35 TRILLION (that would essentially pay off our National debt). Just think the tech they are hiding from us?

This is what lead to a more formal UFO/UAP disclosure and it's no secret why it's going to be Doge and ELON doing this! He of SPACE X after all would be the ideal person under the leadership of Donald Trump our President to make these records make sense, and dig as deep as needed to expose it all. This is where the fun begins.

Skype gone AFTER May 5th?

For many like myself who depend on Skype for our podcast this will be a bit of a set back but there are other outlets like Telegram so I think while I'll be ok it's just now I need to train people on how to use that instead of Skype. But this is the news that just came out and again this is sad news but these are the times we're in and now it's all about "TEAMS" and so we lose the things we have had and move on to new things as the world keeps evolving so does our tech.

"Skype is closing down. Microsoft, which acquired the messaging and calling app 14 years ago, said it will be retiring it from active duty on May 5 to double down on Teams. Skype users have 10 weeks to decide what they want to do with their account.' Like I said It sucks but we will live. Now they continued with saying "It’s not clear how many people are impacted. The most recent numbers that Microsoft had shared were in 2023, when it said it had more than 36 million users a long way from Skype’s peak of 300 million users."

That went from 300 Million to just 36 Million which is still a lot but it also becomes clear that people have found the system flawed long ago and have begun to move on. Skype while it features A LOT of cool stuff like the RECORDING features and stuff the system is full of bugs and always has been in one way or another. Either way I'm going to be sad to have to move on as it's been what I've used from day 1 when I started my shows some 15 years ago.

The news will come as little surprise to those who have followed Skype in recent years, and in many ways, the writing has been on the wall since 2016, when Microsoft debuted Teams. While Microsoft had launched a specific Skype for Business product in 2015, Teams’ arrival signaled a new direction for Microsoft in the cloud communications space. Many likened Teams to a Slack clone, but the bigger ambition was to build a platform that would give space for collaboration and communication across a wide range of Microsoft and other apps, and that included video and text chatting a direct overlap with Skype. Microsoft then revealed plans to phase out Skype for Business in 2017, concluding those efforts four years later, in 2021. That same year, Microsoft selected Teams as the integrated communications app of choice on Windows 11, relegating Skype to the sidelines. But I wonder if this just means no more updates but the Skype we got now installed on a Windows system and not browser based will still be able to let us use it?

Microsoft is encouraging users to move over to Teams Free. This offers some additional features not available in Skype, such as calendar integrations, but Teams Free lacks other key features that were hallmarks of Skype specifically, phone-call functionality that allowed users to call mobile and landline numbers, as well as receive phone calls with a Skype phone number.

Gene Hackman & wife Betsy Arakawa dead - RIP

Another sad loss in the world of films but as this is something of a shock even given his age you normally don't see someone known like an actor and his or her life partner die also in a non accident along with the house pet. So finding out that both Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa & dog are dead are deemed 'suspicious' by investigators? Well no duh!? Front door open, pills scattered, no obvious indication of gas leak, police say as the bodies of the two-time Oscar winner and his classical pianist wife were found on Feb. 26.

The deaths of actor Gene Hackman and his wife of over 30 years, Betsy Arakawa, are “suspicious,” according to investigators, but there are no obvious signs of foul play? So they both die and not just the bodies of the couple but as well as their dog? (no witness left behind even the dog!? Holy shit!) Wait what? The couple and the Dog were discovered in their Hyde Park, N.M., home on Wednesday at approximately 1:45 p.m., the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Yahoo Entertainment. 

While “foul play is not currently suspected as a factor,” the public information officer said early Thursday morning, a search warrant affidavit from a detective on the case detailed the “suspicious” findings at the scene. At a press conference later on Thursday, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said that while there are no obvious signs of foul play, they’re not ruling it out, according to KOB4 Eyewitness News Albuquerque.

The warrant, obtained by media outlets including ABC News, stated that the deaths of Hackman, 95, and Arakawa, 63, were “suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation.” Gene Hackman was supposed to be on the list of the first witness to the Epstein names and ill get more on that in a minute but if this was the case this would lead anyone to think this might be a hit job to keep people from talking. 

Now again let's look at the optics here. The front door of the couple’s home was “unsecured and opened,” according to the warrant. There were two healthy dogs found on the property, one “running loose” outside and another inside by Arakawa’s body, which was located in a bathroom. The deceased dog was in a closet of the bathroom approximately 10 to 15 feet from Arakawa, a classical pianist. 

Nothing makes sense here at all!!!

As several social media users baseless linking of the Oscar-winning actor's death to the release of the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files, far-right commentator Alex Jones busted the theory. The 95-year-old 'Superman' star and his pianist wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead at their New Mexico home along with their dog, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's office confirmed early on Thursday. While officials did not confirm their cause of death, a detective reportedly called their passing as 'suspicious'. 

According to TMZ, the detective wrote in an affidavit that he believed the deaths needed to be thoroughly investigated. The media outlet added that the couple's front door was open and unsecured, and a pill bottle was found near Arakawa’s body.

“As of now, there are no signs or evidence indicating there were any problems associated to the pipes in and around the residence,” the gas company said. But yes again there was an open prescription bottle and “pills scattered” on a counter top near Arakawa, who was found positioned on her side. Near her head, there was also a space heater, which the deputy suspected could have fallen when she did. The body of Hackman, who starred in The French Connection, Superman and Unforgiven, was located in a separate room of the residence, the mud room, the warrant noted. 

It appeared to authorities that he fell suddenly. A pair of sunglasses were at his side. Hackman’s daughter, Elizabeth Jean Hackman, told TMZ that the family suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. However the warrant noted there were “no obvious signs of a gas leak,” and that the front door was open and could have vented out possible fumes.

The warrant said the Santa Fe Fire Department found no signs of a possible carbon monoxide leak nor did the New Mexico Gas Company. A maintenance worker reportedly called authorities after responding to the home and finding the door open, according to the warrant. There was no sign of forced entry nor were their belongings rummaged through. The two maintenance workers authorities spoke with hadn’t heard from Hackman and Arakawa in about two weeks. The bodies of Hackman and Arakawa, who married in 1991, “showed obvious signs of death” the warrant said. 

Her body showed signs of decomposition, including mummification of her hands and feet. Mendoza told the New York Times that there were no signs of trauma to the bodies. There was no note found. The Office of the Medical Investigator will conduct autopsies to determine the causes of death. 

The public information officer told Yahoo that a press release is expected later on Thursday with additional information.

🕊️ Rest in Peace 🕊️ Voletta Wallace... Notorious BIG MOM...

The mother of Notorious BIG has passed away... RIP to one Ms Voletta Wallace (02/03/1953 - 02/21/2025) and like Tupac Mother Afeni Shakur now both these ladies are gone. They didn't get to live to see full justice in the death of their son but at least Ms Wallace was able to see the law catching up to Sean "Diddy" Combs. 

She can rest knowing that the law will finally put Diddler where he belongs for good.. ON DEATH ROW. And I don't mean the record label. But yeah looks bad for Diddy as he's been denied 50 Million for bail remember. But to be honest this news is still sad as Voletta like Afeni were strong women who had to live with the tragic passing of their kids over hate by demons in the music industry who were directly tied to street gangs which did the dirty work for these monsters in the record industry.

But again sadly now now they all gone but now in Heaven together so may The lord may keep them all in his glory. RIP

This was the official report...

🕊️ We suffered a tremendous loss today. Our mother, our matriarch, the woman who dedicated herself to uplifting her son, Christopher Wallace, and preserving his legacy has passed. It is with immense sadness that we share this news with you, and ask that you give our family the space and time needed to grieve this monumental loss. Thank you for your continued outpouring of love, prayers and condolences in this difficult time.

Please know that we will reach out in the coming days to share how we can all honor Ms. Wallace. 

Thank you for your extraordinary support and love.

Disclosure on UAP-UFO-USO's coming!?

YES You read it right according to the one and only Anna Paulina Luna will be leading a House task force on declassification of some our country's biggest hidden secrets and biggest conspiracy theorists are going to enjoy this. To me the citizens of this country as you know have become increasingly concerned about the lack of transparency and disclosure on issues pertaining to Non-Human Intelligence (NHI), Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), and Unidentified Submersible Objects (USO). For decades the talks in many conspiracy circles have been about the embargo on the truth about what the Government knows. 

With this said on Inside Tha Jackals Head myself Angel Espino as host of that show have said in the past that Trump was going to move to not just drain the swamp, end corruption and he would disclose our biggest hidden secrets including the JFK, RFK and Alien stuff. Truth is I didn't expect the release of the MLK files but those never really had the talking heads going like disclosure on these other topics. The big one being Aliens, UFO's, UAP's, USO's and so on. On my podcast this has been a main focus for over a good 14 years now that I've been on air.



 It's about time we get full disclosure but like I've said before we will get what they have on paper which I don't expect that to be "Full Disclosure" as most of the stuff might not be written down as this is how secrets are kept. But they're not just going to put out what they have but there will be an investigation according to the Trump White House on this because with all the drone activity and all the sightings and reports and interest well. This is time. Also remember I said I believed Trump would be our disclosure President. Also keep in mind why I think this. Before Roswell, and after WW' 2 Nikola Tesla passed on and he was working on exotic tech which include free energy, and even a UFO like craft.

When he died Donald Trump's uncle John Trump was part of the recovery team which went to get the paper work, and belongings of Tesla who died broke, and never got the recognition alive he deserved.. Now fast forward to today and we have President Trump and Elon Musk working together. Elon Musk owns SPACE X, and "TESLA" Cars... He's also about the Smartest and richest man on the planet. Folks we're on for a great 2025 if all things fall in place how I'm expecting. Keep in mind for the most part also they don't mention USO's much but she does and this is interesting because I've long held the theory that most of these orbs, crafts, and other things "Alien" which we think are coming from deep space are actually from inside out planet deep in the ocean below and they have very intelligent beings down there who can communicate and have tech which are far more advanced than ours on top. This is why I do think this topic is so hot right now and why we need to be told not just what is coming from space but what is right under our feet deep in our oceans darkest parts.

The issue is not only a matter of being transparent and open about the subject but also the dangers we're facing in our aviation safety and again we have a global right to know whether we are truly alone in the universe. According to the National UAP Task Force, there were 144 reports of encounters between U.S. military and unidentified phenomena between 2004 and 2021, highlighting the need for more transparent investigations and communications. We believe that it is possible to confirm the existence of these phenomena without jeopardizing national security or disclosing sensitive technology. At this point I don't think that will be much of a problem as we don't wanna have people thrown in prison for keeping this secret. We just want to be told the truth and so we all can move on and build our way into Space with out space brothers, and sisters.

President Trump on Mount Rushmore?

Now it's 2025 and we're almost at the point when President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn in. His election just got certified earlier this month and his mandate-driven national election is underway before he's even sworn in as he said he would be working to make sure things got off to a good foot, and full steam ahead in that's right folks Making America Great Again!

So while Trump is out preparing his plans to realize his childhood dream of being enshrined on Mount Rushmore? Did you even know this was a dream of his? We sure didn't until recently and the the big question is how far up the mountain does the former and future president want to climb with his fantasy and is a plan already in his back pocket? There is tons of space, and even a spot which don's a parts which well look like the mans hair in place waiting for his face just below to be carved!

This art work is selling like crazy over on Amazon and looks about perfect to me. The artist who made that is Jon McNaugton. Props to him for such a nice rendering of what this could look like.

Now looking back in 2020, it was South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem who shone the July 4th spotlight on Trump at a fundraiser he held at Mount Rushmore in her home state, comparing him to Teddy Roosevelt, whose face is tucked between fellow former presidents Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln on the national monument.

Roosevelt actually spent his early adult years in neighboring North Dakota raising cattle, shortly after he suffered the same-day deaths of his first wife and his mother of unrelated ailments. After comparing Trump to the famous “Rough Rider,” Noem later told reporters that Trump confided to her his “childhood dream” of being on Mount Rushmore.

The Republican governor didn’t shut Trump down, but she pointed out there appeared to be no more room on the mountain for his mug. But that didn’t stop Trump from having himself inserted in a publicity pix at the end of Mount Rushmore’s national necklace of four U.S. presidential heads already there.

So, was Trump’s appointment of Noem as his administration’s new U.S. secretary of homeland security part of his plan to occupy space next to George Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt? We wondered if any of those drills could be repurposed for some mountain sculpting?

Before you dismiss this as crazy idea, consider this as it's fact that this land is federal government owned, which is enough to give one a thought here. Everyone of those men on there now have one major thing in common. They all purchased land which is now or was under USA control for this binds them. 

From the Louisiana purchase to others it's only natural if Trump some how gets control of the Panama Canal, renames the Gulf of Mexico into "The Gulf of America" as I'm going to call it from now on ANYWAY! Oh and don't forget there is vibes being put out about buying Greenland and perhaps even merging the USA with Canada under Trump.

Also with this said will newly elevated South Dakota Republican and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who had been a critic of Trump, wind up having to deal with a monument move before Trump leaves office? PERHAPS!

This would be a very funny turn of events as we're all now watching the left lose time, and time again and Trump and the GOP winning over, and over again. Nothing the left does turns out good while Trump is winning on all fronts.

Here is a little history: The National Park Service has turned a thumbs down to past suggestions of adding faces to Mount Rushmore, noting not enough secure rock is available near the already sculpted faces for additional carving.

Did Trump sweeten the pot by picking North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum as his U.S. secretary of the interior? Burgum’s state is building the new Theodore Roosevelt Library (with some federal help). In his statement appointing Burgum to his Cabinet, Trump said the GOP governor would be part of the administration’s “DRILL BABY DRILL” energy plans. But the monument’s sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, did claim Mount Rushmore only represented the first 150 years of United States history.

In 1937, while work on the sculpture was still in progress, a bill was introduced in Congress to add women’s rights activist Susan B. Anthony. It failed to advance. More recently, in 2010, a Gallup Poll listed assassinated President John F. Kennedy, as the top choice of Americans to be added. 

In 1985, some suggested President Ronald Reagan be placed on Mount Rushmore which turned out not to happen but, these days, nothing seems impossible when it comes to Trump.

NY to close scores of Migrant Shelters!

While Donald Trump is only still the "President-elect" he's not sworn in yet but he's said to himself that he's going to crack down on illegal immigration and deport potential millions of people already in the U.S. illegally and this could be having an effect already folks, even in parts of the country where Democraps officials have threatened to oppose him every step of the way. Deep blue New York is set to close 12 migrant shelters before the end of the year, just weeks ahead of Trump taking office, Fox News reported Saturday. Also there are two hotels converted into migrant shelters the Hotel Merit in Manhattan and the Quality Inn JFK in Queens have already shut down. An additional 10 shelter facilities across the state are scheduled for closure by December 31, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office, as reported by Fox News Digital. While this was all being paid for by our taxpayer money so where are all these people going to go if they don't have these shelters? Hmmmmm boy this is going to get really ugly real soon. The left is just looking to continue to harm us in anyway they can with the illegal situation.

The 10 shelters, located in Albany, Dutchess, Erie, Orange, and Westchester counties, were established by the city after it ran out of available space to accommodate migrants, underscoring the magnitude of the crisis. New York City’s expansive migrant shelter on Randall’s Island, designed to house up to 3,000 people, is scheduled to close by February 2025, just weeks after President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration on January 20. The closures come as Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday that the city has provided for more than 223,000 migrants and asylum seekers since the spring of 2022, a number equivalent to about half the population of Albany, the state capital.

And like I said folks it's us the City taxpayers who have been covering a $352 nightly cost per migrant, with only $130 going to hotels for housing. The remainder has been spent on services such as social support, food, and cleaning, according to The New York Post. Currently, 58,000 migrants remain in taxpayer-funded shelters across New York City, the mayor’s office confirmed to Fox News Digital. Approximately 210 city-run shelter sites are spread across the five boroughs, according to The Post. The city estimates that the ongoing migrant crisis could cost taxpayers roughly $12 billion over the next three fiscal years without significant policy changes. Remember this while homeless AMERICAN Citizens, Veterans and people in need of Disability help are being over looked like myself they're doing nothing but putting us in the back of the line.

The city cited the declining number of migrants arriving in New York as the reason for the shelter closures, attributing the reduction to federal government efforts and executive orders issued by the Biden-Harris administration. In September, there were 101,790 encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border, the lowest since February 2021, with no major signs of a significant uptick since then. The Post reported that in the week ending November 10, over 600 new asylum seekers arrived in New York City. “Our staff is on hand to help guests plan for next steps as the city consolidates its operations,” a spokesperson from New York city hall told Fox News Digital. “Over the past two years, our teams have accomplished the Herculean task of providing compassionate care for a population twice the size of Albany and saving taxpayers billions of dollars,” Adams, who is under federal corruption investigation, added in a statement.

“We’ve focused on helping people take their next steps out of shelter and that focus is paying off. And with our census declining for the past 19 weeks in a row, it’s clear that our efforts are working. The new policies we’re implementing today will build on our successes, save taxpayers millions, and help even more migrants take their next steps towards fulfilling their American Dream,” he continued. Adams also announced that migrant families who have received a second 60-day eviction notice will be allowed to remain in their assigned shelters if they require additional time in the system. Adams highlighted the decision as a cost-saving measure, stating it would save “taxpayers millions of dollars.” 

He emphasized that the policy helps children continue attending their current public schools, eliminating the need for costly busing, which he said saves the city hundreds of thousands of dollars. The relaxation of eviction rules for migrant families was not enough to satisfy a group of approximately 50 left-wing activists who stormed City Hall on Wednesday during a hearing about the city’s shelter policy for adults. 

The policy mandates the permanent eviction of migrant adults from city shelters after 30 days. “Immigrants are welcome here Trumpian policy is not!” members of Jews For Racial & Economic Justice shouted from the mezzanine while unfurling a trio of banners that said: “Mayor Adams: end shelter evictions,” “Let all New Yorkers stay” and “Housing justice now.” And these morons of all faith who believe this garbage wonder why TRUMP Won by a damn landslide... Keep at it morons it's going to be a long time before you see a Demoncrap in the Oval Office again.

Confession "Einstein saw Roswell UFO"

So a tape from 1993 has leaked with a confession by Dr Shirley Wright who was the assistant of Albert Einstein who she claimed he saw The Roswell UFO crash and ET's in 1947. She also says she saw the ship but well not to put words in her mouth take a watch for yourself and witness what she claimed was seen by again Albert Einstein. This makes sense if this "CRASH" happened the government who is investigating it would bring in the top Scientist of the time to look at it... The two names here was Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla... But Tesla had just passed not shortly before the Roswell Crash. 

So Albert Einstein would be the best suited mind to bring in along with some others. But remember what Einsteins main focus and work was. "Space" and "Einstein's Rosen Bridge theory" which is how Space and how it connects two far away points in space-time through a tunnel or bridge. The bridge's length is predicted to be far shorter than the distance between the given two points. So the tunnel acts as a shortcut. 

The wormhole concept is one of the many path-breaking predictions of Einstein's general relativity.

James Earl Jones Rest in Peace

Wow this broke my heart... The voice of my favorite cinematic character of all times has passed away as we have lost the incredible Icon James Earl Jones. Not just the voice of Lord Vader but also the voice of many iconic roles. His voice was one for the ages, be it as a Lord of the Sith in "Star Wars" to King of the jungle in "The Lion King" the mans voice was one you can recognize for his voice was one for the ages. But he was more than a voice... He was a true cinema GEM, and one of the greatest actors in the history of cinema period.

Born January 17, 1931 not just an American actor of films but he was also very known for his amazing years of work in theater. He was one of the few performers to have achieved the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). Jones has been described as "one of America's most distinguished and versatile" actors for his performances on stage and screen, and "one of the greatest actors in American history".

Being born In 1931 at Arkabutla, Mississippi, he had a stuttering issue since childhood. Just picture this Darth Vader with a stuttering issue! But some would shy away from public speaking due to this curse it wasn't something James Earl Jones would do as he said that poetry and acting helped him overcome the challenges of his disability. A pre-med major in college, he served in the United States Army during the Korean War before pursuing a career in acting. 

His deep voice was praised as a "stirring basso profondo that has lent gravel and gravitas" to his projects. Jones made his Broadway debut in 1957 in Sunrise at Campobello (1957). He gained prominence for acting in numerous productions with Shakespeare in the Park including Othello, Hamlet, Coriolanus, and King Lear. Jones worked steadily in theater, winning the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his role as a boxer in The Great White Hope (1968), which he reprised in the 1970 film adaptation, earning him Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations.

Jones won his second Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his role as a working class father in August Wilson's Fences (1987). He was nominated for Tony awards for his roles as part of an aging couple in Ernest Thompson's On Golden Pond (2005), and a former president in the Gore Vidal play The Best Man (2012). Other Broadway performances include Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (2008), Driving Miss Daisy (2010–2011), You Can't Take It with You (2014), and The Gin Game (2015–2016). He received a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2017.

Jones made his film debut in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove (1964). He received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Claudine (1974). Jones gained international fame for his voice role as Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise, beginning with the original 1977 film. Jones' other notable roles include in Conan the Barbarian (1982), Matewan (1987), Coming to America (1988), Field of Dreams (1989), The Hunt for Red October (1990), The Sandlot (1993), and The Lion King (1994). Jones reprised his roles in Star Wars media, The Lion King (2019), and Coming 2 America (2021).

He was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1985. He was honored with the National Medal of Arts in 1992, the Kennedy Center Honor in 2002, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award in 2009 and the Honorary Academy Award in 2011.

From the age of five, Jones was raised by his maternal grandparents, John Henry and Maggie Connolly, on their farm in Dublin, Michigan; they had moved from Mississippi in the Great Migration. Where Jones found the transition to living with his grandparents in Michigan traumatic and developed a stutter so bad that he refused to speak. He said, "I was a stutterer. I couldn't talk. So my first year of school was my first mute year, and then those mute years continued until I got to high school." He credits his English teacher, Donald Crouch, who discovered he had a gift for writing poetry, with helping him end his silence. Crouch urged him to challenge his reluctance to speak through reading poetry aloud to the class.

Jones graduated from Dickson Rural Agricultural School In 1949 (now Brethren High School) in Brethren, Michigan, where he served as vice president of his class. He attended the University of Michigan, where he was initially a pre-med major. He joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and excelled. He felt comfortable within the structure of the military environment and enjoyed the camaraderie of his fellow cadets in the Pershing Rifles Drill Team and Scabbard and Blade Honor Society. After his junior year, he focused on drama with the thought of doing something he enjoyed, before, he assumed, he would have to go off to fight in the Korean War. After four years of college, Jones graduated from the university in 1955 with a Bachelor of Arts with a major in drama.

But for all his work over the years it was In 1977, Jones made his debut in his iconic voiceover role as Darth Vader in George Lucas' space opera blockbuster film Star Wars: A New Hope, which he would reprise for the sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). Darth Vader was portrayed in costume by David Prowse in the film trilogy, with Jones dubbing Vader's dialogue in post production because Prowse's strong West Country accent was deemed unsuitable for the role by director George Lucas. At his own request, Jones was uncredited for the release of the first two Star Wars films, though he would be credited for the third film and eventually also for the first film's 1997 "Special Edition" re-release. As he explained in a 2008 interview:

When Linda Blair did the girl in The Exorcist, they hired Mercedes McCambridge to do the voice of the devil coming out of her. And there was controversy as to whether Mercedes should get credit. I was one who thought no, she was just special effects. So when it came to Darth Vader, I said, no, I'm just special effects. But it became so identified that by the third one, I thought, OK I'll let them put my name on it.

In 1977, Jones also received a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Great American Documents. In late 1979, Jones appeared on the short-lived CBS police drama Paris, which was notable as the first program on which Steven Bochco served as executive producer. Jones also starred that year in the critically acclaimed TV mini-series sequel Roots: The Next Generations as the older version of author Alex Haley.

The year 1987 saw Jones starring in August Wilson's play Fences as Troy Maxson, a middle aged working class father who struggles to provide for his family. The play, set in the 1950's, is part of Wilson's ten-part "Pittsburgh Cycle". The play explores the evolving African American experience and examines race relations, among other themes. Jones won widespread critical acclaim, earning himself his second Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play. 

Beside the Star Wars sequels, Jones was featured in several other box office hits of the 1980's: the action/fantasy film Conan the Barbarian (1982), the Eddie Murphy comedy Coming to America (1988), and the sports drama/fantasy Field of Dreams (1989) which earned an Academy Award for Best Picture nomination. He also starred in the independent film Matewan (1987). The film dramatized the events of the Battle of Matewan, a coal miners' strike in 1920 in Matewan, a small town in the hills of West Virginia. He received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his performance.

In 1985, Jones lent his bass voice as Pharaoh in the first episode of Hanna-Barbera's The Greatest Adventure: Stories from the Bible. From 1989 to 1992, Jones served as the host of the children's TV series Long Ago and Far Away. Jones appeared in several more successful films during the early-to-mid 1990's, including The Hunt for Red October (1990), Patriot Games (1992), The Sandlot (1993), Clear and Present Danger (1994), and Cry, the Beloved Country (1995). He also lent his distinctive bass voice to the role of Mufasa in the 1994 Disney animated film The Lion King. In 1992, Jones was presented with the National Medal of the Arts by President George H. W. Bush. Jones had the distinction of winning two Primetime Emmys in the same year, in 1991 as Best Actor for his role in Gabriel's Fire and as Best Supporting Actor for his work in Heat Wave.

He might be gone but he will never be forgotten as he's sealed a legacy unmatched by many... 

(January 17, 1931 – September 9, 2024) Rest in Peace.
