CAUGHT IN PROVIDENCE: Is 80-Year Old Frank Caprio The Most Compassionate Municipal Court Judge In America?
Judge Frank Caprio calls children to come up on the bench to help pass judgment on their parents and he works out payment plans for people who are struggling.
An 80-year-old judge is an unlikely viral video sensation, but somehow Municipal Court Judge Frank Caprio has been winning hearts and clicks on Facebook with a mix of compassion, humor and a rotating cast of the poor souls who have been ticketed in the city of Providence.
For anyone who has ever spent time in municipal court for a traffic violation or various other charges that can be issued, you know it can be a long and tedious process. Many times a judgment is handed down that, while sticking to the letter of the law, seems to be served without a whole lot of compassion for the offender. A Rhode Island municipal court judge decided to change all that, and run his court according to the ‘golden rule’, with oftentimes amazing results.
“For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” Matthew 7:2 (KJV)
Judge Frank Caprio, at the age of 80, has become an Internet sensation because of how he operates his municipal court room. He uses humor, shows compassion, and does his level best to serve the interests of both the residents and government of Providence, Rhode Island. He has a soft and tender hear, but a pushover he absolutely is not. After you’ve watched a handful of these videos, you will be wishing Judge Caprio was handling your case the next time you get a ticket.
80-year-old judge becomes unlikely internet star
FROM CBS NEWS: Videos featuring the kind-hearted judge have now reached hundreds of millions of views. Judge Frank Caprio calls children to come up on the bench to help pass judgment on their parents and makes high schoolers promise to attend college in return for dropping tickets. He works out payment plans for people who are struggling. Occasionally he loses patience, especially when he thinks the person is trying to give him “a snow job.” He even gets laughs when he turns down pleas for a break.
The judge thinks he’s gone viral because people have lost faith in government and are accustomed to institutions coming down hard without regard for personal circumstances.
“I think I should take into consideration whether somebody is sick and whether their mother died and whether they have kids who are starving,” he said. “I don’t wear a badge under my robe. I wear a heart under my robe.”
One video features a woman who had racked up tickets and fines of $400. She broke down as she described trying to pick up the pieces after her son was stabbed to death.
“I’m just really having a tough time, your honor,” she told the judge through tears, as Caprio listened attentively. “I don’t think anyone in their lifetime would ever want to experience that,” he told her.
“It’s the worst feeling in the world. I feel so empty and lost,” she replied. He dismissed the tickets. The case has been viewed nearly 170 million times on Facebook and given subtitles in nine languages.
People from around the world weigh in on the videos about the judge’s tender-hearted approach and the American court system, something Caprio mentions with pride.
“I may be adding just a little bit more understanding toward the United States system of government and how it works, that we are a decent peace-loving people, and not how we’re being portrayed in other parts of the world,” he said.
He learned his compassion from his father, an immigrant from Italy and fruit peddler-turned-milkman, who would pay milk bills for customers who fell behind, even though his own family lived in a cold-water flat with few resources of their own.
Frank Caprio taught high school history to support himself as he attended law school at Boston’s Suffolk University at night. After building a law practice, he became a part-time judge on the municipal court in 1985, hearing mostly non-criminal matters. A few years later, his brother, Joe, began filming the proceedings, calling the show “Caught in Providence.”
It has aired locally since then, but Caprio’s fame took off after shorter clips started appearing on Facebook last year, posted by Joe’s production company and Sociable, a Providence social media company.
“Uncle Joe” as he’s known to online fans, says his brother is the same off camera as on, and he has a good message for America and the world.
“He’s like a father figure to the world,” he said. “He’s a senior gentleman. When he says something, they listen.”
People who come into court are given the chance to opt out of being filmed, and a handful did on one recent morning. But most didn’t seem to mind, including Judy Barros, who has watched the show for years and appeared before him twice.
“If you have a problem, he listens,” she said, shortly after he dismissed a ticket for parking in a no-parking zone, even though she had a disability placard.
When he’s not on the bench, the judge has a busy law firm, owns an oceanfront restaurant and keeps up an active social life as the head of a sprawling family. President Donald Trump’s ex-wife, Marla Maples, stayed in Caprio’s guesthouse with mutual friends earlier this month. The following night, he had dinner with talk show host Regis Philbin.
Singer Paula Abdul is considered a member of the family after she started dating his son, John, six years ago. Another son, Frank T. Caprio, was the Democratic nominee for Rhode Island governor in 2010.
Back in the courtroom, Caprio said he’s not trying to change the world, but he’s trying to do his part. “In the final analysis, I’m only doing what my father taught me to do,” Caprio said. “I’m following his advice, and it resonated in the world.” source

Donald Trump Makes The Announcement Of Ceasefire In Gaza And That The Hostages Will Be Released ‘Shortly’, Says His Election Is The Reason Behind It
US President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday night that a hostage-ceasefire deal had been met and the hostages would be ‘released shortly,’ in a post on Truth Social.
You got to hand it to him, Donald Trump just may be the greatest showman of our time, and I mean that sincerely. His ability to capture attention and dominate the headlines has no equal in the political world. It’s even more impressive when you realize that he does that with the combined might of the Democrats and the news media who conspire together on an hourly basis to bring him down. But to what purpose does Trump return to the White House when viewed in the light of the prophet Daniel?
“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” Daniel 2:21 (KJB)
We rejoice with the hostages families at the prospect that at least some of them will be return home alive to their loved ones, and we grieve for those who are never coming back. Yes, I do believe that Hamas chose 2023 to attack Israel and the Jews because they knew that Biden and the Democrats are sketchy in their support of the Jewish state. And yes, I believe that like Reagan in 1980 who warned the Iranians that those hostages better be released before he was sworn in, that the specter of a pro-Israel incoming Trump administration sped things along. But if you believe your Bible, Israel is still headed to a time of unprecedented (fake) peace through the Abraham Accords, a trap if there ever was one, also from Trump, that just may wind up being the covenant that gets confirmed in Daniel 9:27 under Antichrist. The news may change on an hourly basis, but the Bible does not. That’s the memo.
Israel, Hamas agree to Gaza deal, Trump says hostages to be ‘released shortly’
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: In President-elect Donald Trump’s second post on his platform Truth Social after Israeli and Hamas officials confirmed the ceasefire deal, he boasted the “epic” agreement could have only happened as a result of his historic victory in November as it “signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies.”
Trump said he’s thrilled American and Israeli hostages will return to be united with their families and loved ones. With the deal in place, Trump said his national security team through the efforts of Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff “will continue to work closely with Israel and our Allies to make sure Gaza NEVER again becomes a terrorist safe haven.”
“We will continue promoting PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH throughout the region, as we build upon the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the Historic Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote. “This is only the beginning of great things to come for America, and indeed, the World!”
Trump said his team “achieved so much” without even being in the White House.
He continued, “just imagine all of the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House, and my Administration is fully confirmed, so they can secure more Victories for the United States!” READ MORE
Trump reacts to Israel-Hamas ceasefire, hostage release deal
President-elect Donald Trump is praising the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release deal, taking partial credit for the successful negotiation brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the U.S. CBS News’ Nancy Cordes reports.

US Secret Service Issues Order To Flood The Streets Of Washington DC With Over 8,000 Troops As Government Prepares For ‘Peaceful Transition’ Of Power
Nearly 8,000 National Guard troops have been requested by the U.S. Secret Service to provide support for the presidential inauguration Jan. 20, the Pentagon said.
We are officially 6 days away from Donald Trump being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, 5 days away from his (in my opinion) premature victory party on the 19th, and doesn’t it feel like the ‘other shoe’ is getting ready to drop? What do they have planned, I wonder? Seeing how explosive the start of 2025 has been already, it’s good to be something pretty wild.
“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:” Daniel 2:21 (KJB)
One thing’s for sure, the opposing sides that populate Washington are going to clash, and clash hard, with the incoming Trump administration. If you’ve been paying attention over the past 15 years or so, the military is being used as a presence on the streets more and more. It would not surprise me in the least if, under a Trump presidency, we finally see a full-time military presence in downtown DC. All for our own ‘peace and protection’, I’m sure. Two things you learn about the Deep State, they love Predictive Programming and they love irony. Donald Trump was an anti-vaxxer before becoming president in 2016, and yet was the mastermind behind Operation: Warp Speed in 2020. Yep, they love that stuff. Look for troops on the streets, they’re coming.
Nearly 8,000 National Guard troops requested to support presidential inauguration
FROM STARS AND STRIPES: The request for 7,800 troops, said Sabrina Singh, deputy spokeswoman for the Defense Department, is expected to be approved by the Pentagon in the coming days. The Secret Service is the lead agency for the inauguration. Once approved, the troops will join 500 National Guards troops already approved to support security operations during the counting and certification of electoral votes on Monday.
Layers of tall black fencing flank the U.S. Capitol complex in a stark reminder of what happened four years ago, when thousands of supporters of President-elect Donald Trump rioted, battled police and stormed the building. As Trump prepares to return to office, no violence, protests or procedural objections in Congress are expected this time.
The 2025 presidential inauguration was designated a “national special security event” by the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. When an event is designated as a special security event, the federal government, as well as state and local partners, can funnel significant resources to ensure a robust security plan is in place, said Nate Herring, a spokesperson for the Secret Service. He declined to provide specifics, citing operational security reasons.
In an opinion piece published Sunday in The Washington Post, President Joe Biden decried the 2021 attempt to overrun the Capitol to block certification of the 2020 election — seeking to contrast that day’s chaos with what Biden promises will be an orderly transition returning Trump to power for a second term.
“We should be proud that our democracy withstood this assault,” Biden wrote. “And we should be glad we will not see such a shameful attack again this year.” READ MORE
Inauguration Day: Security zones and checkpoints in Washington, D.C.
The U.S. Capitol will be on lockdown during inauguration day. More than 30 miles of anti-scale fencing has been erected at key locations in Washington, D.C. Thousands of National Guard troops will be on duty to support the Secret Service.

- FRIDAY JANUARY 24TH 7:00 PM: Our Bethany Conference on Dispensationalism opens with Pastor Joel Tillis from Suncoast Baptist Church in West Palmetto , Florida, and he will be speaking on the biblical foundation of dispensations. Did you know that the apostle Paul is the one who first revealed the mystery to us that God wrote the Bible dispensationally? It’s true, and Bro. Joel will tell you all about it. He is just coming off a multi-part preaching series on dispensations at his church, and is all warmed up and ready to go!
- SATURDAY JANUARY 25TH 6:00 PM: Bro. Steve Brown from Heritage Baptist Church here in Saint Augustine, and will be speaking on the importance of a dispensational understanding in your own personal Bible study time. Bro. Steve has been a faithful steward and teacher of the word for many decades, and he will certainly have a new nugget or two to share with us.
- SUNDAY JANUARY 26TH 10 AM: Closing out our conference in our Sunday Service will be end times author, evangelist and circuit riding preacher Dr. Bill Grady of Fellowship Baptist Church in Maryville, TN. Bro. Bill will be ‘bringing the heat’ as he taps into over 50 years of personal and ministerial Bible study to help us plumb the depths of the ‘unsearchable riches of Christ’. Dinner on the grounds will immediately follow our Sunday Service, and all are welcome.
