Silence at Comins Pond: The Haunting Murder of Molly Bish Podcast Episode Β· Echoes of the Unknown Β· 02/17/2026 Β· 18m

My podcast today travels back to the summer of 2000, when 16-year-old Molly Bish arrived at a quiet pond in rural Massachusetts, ready to begin another day as a lifeguard. Within minutes, she had vanished without a trace. Only her whistle, her sandals and her towel were left behind.

Truly haunting!

Happy Birthday to ME! πŸŽ‚ Today, as I blow out my candles, my biggest wish is for Congress to CUT OFF ALL FUNDING to ICE and Border Patrol until BOTH agencies are COMPLETELY restructured to end the rampant abuses.

That’s the best way to honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti! ❀️❀️

Donald Trump wants to run Venezuela, and dominate the western hemisphere Snatching NicolΓ‘s Maduro and attempting to take control of Venezuela and its oil is an extraordinary display of the new β€œDonroe doctrine”

"Venezuelans at celebration parties in Miami could not believe it, insisting that Trump had misspoken. His plan appears to be for Venezuela to remain under the day-to-day rule of a senior chavista, with its democratically elected leaders excluded and its wealth controlled by American corporations."

For generations, people around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression. The #NoKings movement is no different. Yellow is our shared signal, bright, bold and impossible to ignore, a reminder that America's power belongs to our people, not to kings.
