LUTHMANN FAMILY COURT BOMBSHELLS: The Gauntlet is Thrown on Slam the Gavel Podcast

    Richard Luthmann lit a match and tossed it straight into America’s family court system.

    Appearing on Maryann Petri’s Slam the Gavel podcast, Luthmann accused CPS, family courts, and federally funded contractors of running a profit-driven racket fueled by Title IV money — with children treated as inventory and, in some cases, vanishing altogether.

    From a 935% spike in missing Illinois foster kids to fake “advocates,” career criminals, and cancel-culture enforcers weaponizing the courts, Luthmann pulled no punches.

    His message was blunt: follow the money, expose the fraud, and prosecute the predators — or shut the whole thing down.

    Carasso's Courtroom Bias Bombshell: Orange County Judge refuses to recuse despite clear evidence of bias against journalist Julie Holburn.

    Carasso’s Courtroom Bias Bombshell

      Orange County Judge Kimberly A. Carasso is now the face of a spiraling judicial scandal after refusing to recuse herself from journalist Julie Holburn’s family court case. Evidence shows Carasso knew Holburn, her articles, and her reporting months before taking the case — contradicting her sworn statements and fueling accusations of bias, retaliation, and misconduct. Court transcripts show Carasso discussing Holburn by name, reviewing her photo and articles, and even threatening mistrial over her reporting. Now, with the public demanding DOJ and FBI intervention, Carasso’s refusal to step aside exposes the deepening crisis in Orange County’s secrecy-ridden family court system.

      Susan Bassi’s Journalistic Treason

        A bitter feud has erupted inside the family court reform movement, now dubbed “Susan Bassi’s Journalistic Treason.” Once hailed as a transparency crusader, California journalist Susan Bassi stands accused of betraying protective parents by torpedoing the case of Julie Holburn, a mother fighting to expose abuse and corruption in Orange County. Richard Luthmann, Michael Volpe, and Family Court Fraud Warrior Project leader Dave Weigel have blasted Bassi as a turncoat protecting the very system she once vowed to fight. The fallout has sparked a civil war, leaving the reform movement fractured and Bassi’s credibility under fire.

        Bigger Bitch Susan Bassi? Luthmann wonders whether the California Reporter is a bigger bitch than Kyle's mom on South Park after Holburn snub.

        Bigger Bitch Susan Bassi? Bigger Than Kyle’s Mom?

          A no-holds-barred media war has erupted between California’s Susan Bassi and Florida “tough guy” journalist Richard Luthmann. The flashpoint: Bassi’s refusal to cover Julie Holburn’s harrowing family court abuse case, despite years of following it and viewing raw evidence. Luthmann accuses Bassi of hypocrisy, DARVO tactics, and being compromised by Chinese Communist Party-linked TikTok funding. Bassi fired back, attacking Luthmann’s ethics and dismissing his journalism. Luthmann responded with a formal Florida Statute 770.01 litigation notice, daring her to set foot in Florida. The feud has gone public — and personal — with reputations, credibility, and serious corruption allegations all on the line.
