Trans Kids Billboards, Madison Brooks Case, Wonsley Custody Battle & Jackson Hangings (Ep #1270)

**Episode 1270 – FAFO Friday with Creston Berch** It’s FAFO Friday and Clay is wearing pink on purpose. Clay and Creston open with the long-running fight against the “Trans Kids Belong” messaging, revisiting the billboard Clay replaced years ago near Bass Pro in Pearl and reacting to Stephen A. Smith finally breaking ranks on a WNBA coach who wore the same slogan during a game against the Indiana Fever. They make clear where they stand: adults can live however they want, but kids are off-limits and biological reality is not optional. The conversation shifts to the Madison Brooks case. The 19-year-old LSU student was gang-raped, dumped on the interstate, and killed by a vehicle. Her family and supporters asked to wear pink in court; the defense tried to ban it. The judge allowed plain pink clothing. Clay explains why he’s wearing a pink FAFO shirt today and questions the judge’s history involving her own son. They dig into the newly public records on Christine Wansley (Nolan Wells’ mother). Documents show she lost custody of her three older children to their father, James Briscoe, in 2007–2008, was ordered to pay child support, and later saw temporary custody efforts fail before the case ended in shared custody. Clay walks through the timeline, the difference between legal custody and where the kids actually lived, and the selective outrage that elevates some grieving parents into civil-rights figures while others get ignored. That leads to the death of 29-year-old Tasia (Tayshia) Fortune, found hanging from a tree behind a vacant house in Jackson. Councilman Kenneth Stokes is already calling for federal involvement. Clay asks the obvious questions: has a crime even been established yet? Why the rush for outside investigators while the local department is still working the case? He contrasts the reaction with the relative silence around 15-year-old Chloe McDonnell, a Black girl shot and killed on a Jackson walking trail—another young life that didn’t fit the preferred narrative. Along the way they touch the Rankin County gun and knife show, the so-called “gun show loophole,” private-sale background checks, and the difference between real accountability and performative outrage. Straight talk, no sugar, FAFO Friday.
