Linwood would prey on elderly wom...

Do you think someone can be born evil, or do you think someone's heinous actions are a result of their upbringing and childhood experience? This is a hot topic of discussion this week with Sam's coverage of the notorious Donald "Pee Wee" Gaskins, who ultimately is known by his nickname Pee Wee, due to his small stature.

Pee Wee had a very rough childhood which included lots of sexual assault, mistreatment, joining a gang when he was...

Have you ever read the crazy side effects on your anti-anxiety or anti-depressant pill bottle, or hell - even any medication ever? The side effects for anti-anxiety and anti-depressants are insane to say the least. Increased chances of suicidal thoughts, deep depressions, and other horrible symptoms.

The Murdaugh dynasty has fallen.... Finally!

They will no longer rule the land in Colleton and Hampton Counties. Was the whole family guilty of separate crimes over the years that led to their downfall, or was it mainly Alex’s actions? Will these questions ever really be answered?
