Autopsy reports reveal horrific new details about University of Idaho victims' stabbing injuries, final movements

 NY Post   

"The controversial deal he struck with prosecutors allowed him to avoid the death penalty and dodge a trial where victims’ loved ones might have gotten a look into the motivation for the heinous stabbings — the lack of which drew ire from some victims’ families."

The Eyes of a Killer

"Newly released court filings detailed the horrific stabbing injuries and final movements of the four University of Idaho students moments before they were murdered by Bryan Kohberger, according to a report.

"Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were stabbed by Kohberger a combined total of 150 times, according to an unsealed key autopsy findings obtained by People.

"The sick killer stabbed Goncalves roughly 38 times, Mogen 28 times, Chapin 17 times, and Kernodle 67 times, at their off-campus home in Moscow, the report, which did not show the full autopsy results, revealed.

"Evidence also showed that Kernodle moved around her bedroom during a struggle with the knife-wielding Kohberger in the November 2022 attack.

"Goncalves and Mogen were both found together in Mogen’s bedroom. The two close friends died from multiple sharp force injuries, the outlet said.

"Goncalves had 24 stab and incised wounds on her scalp, face, and neck, 11 stab and incised wounds of the chest, and three stab and incised wounds of the upper extremities, according to the report.

"Additional factors, such as blunt force injuries of the head and asphyxial injuries, contributed to her death. The autopsy report revealed she also had punctures on the outer table of the skull, injuries to the teeth and tongue, and a hemorrhage into the chest cavities.

"Mogen was stabbed 13 times on her scalp, face, and neck, five times to her chest, and had 10 incised wounds of the upper extremities, the filing added." . . . More...

 Trump in Talks With Walz and Frey to Make Minnesota Safe Again › American Greatness  . . . " President Trump on Sunday outlined a four-point plan calling on Minnesota’s Democrat leaders “and EVERY Democrat Governor and Mayor in the United States of America to formally cooperate with the Trump Administration to enforce our Nation’s Laws, rather than resist and stoke the flames of Division, Chaos, and Violence.”

1. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey should turn over all Criminal Illegal Aliens that are currently incarcerated in their State Prisons and Jails to Federal Authorities, along with all Illegal Criminals with an active warrant or known Criminal History, for Immediate Deportation.

2. State and Local Law Enforcement must agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police.

3. Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.

4. Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Some Democrats, in places like Memphis, Tennessee, or Washington, D.C., have done so, resulting in safer streets for ALL.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has reportedly approved a CBP request to use Fort Snelling, a military base near the Minneapolis airport, as a staging area for immigration enforcement operations.  . . . "This move is framed as a strong signal from the Trump administration that it will not back down on immigration enforcement, with the message being “We are not going away.” . . . 

 

The Walz is caving in to Trump

Trump tweeted on Truth Social: . . . "We have had such tremendous SUCCESS in Washington, D.C., Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana, and virtually every other place that we have “touched” and, even in Minnesota, Crime is way down, but both Governor Walz and I want to make it better!" . . .

Our favorite expectant mom, Karoline Leavitt, outlined President Trump’s terms of surrender for Tim Walz and Mayor Frey:

1. Walz and Frey must turn over all criminal illegals currently in their custody, along with any illegals with active warrants or known criminal histories for immediate deportation

2. State and local police must agree to turn over all illegals arrested by police to the federal government.

3. Local police must assist in apprehending illegals wanted for crimes—especially violent ones

. . . "This time, the presidential stick is the Insurrection Act of 1807, signed into law by Thomas Jefferson, the guy who wrote the Declaration of Independence. The law gives a president broad authority to deploy active-duty U.S. military forces or federalize National Guard units for domestic operations inside the United States. It can be triggered by one of three things.

1. At the request of a state’s legislature or governor (or both) to suppress an insurrection against the state government.
2. When unlawful obstructions make it “impracticable” to enforce federal laws via ordinary means.
3. When domestic violence or conspiracies hinder law enforcement to the point that people are deprived of constitutional rights, and state authorities cannot or will not protect them.

"Presidents have used this power 30 times. According to Grok, no court has ever successfully blocked or enjoined a president’s invocation of the Insurrection Act before or during its use.

"Grok hasn’t Judge Bananas Boasberg, has he?

"But Grok said that in 1827 “the Supreme Court ruled that the president’s decision on whether an exigency exists ‘belongs exclusively to the president’ and is ‘conclusive upon all other persons.’”

"The president in question was James Madison, the guy who wrote the Constitution. The case was from the War of 1812.

"With the endorsement of Jefferson and Dolley Madison’s husband, I believe President Trump is on ground so solid that it could be made of cast iron.

Trump's new Board of Peace is necessary because the UN has failed again and again

 Douglas Murray  

"By making some (often undiplomatic) threats to those allies, Trump has made them take their own security seriously again."

You can't drive to freedom with a kidnapped person in the trunk.

"President Trump’s remarks at Davos have caused a chorus of howls. Some of that howling is understandable. But some of it is makes as much sense as howling at the moon.

"Take the “Board of Peace” proposal. Countries like France and Britain are refusing to sign on to the president’s initiative. They complain that there are countries on the board they do not approve of. And that there is a risk that it could prove a rival organization to the United Nations.

"It is true that the idea of Vladimir Putin or the dictator of Belarus being on the board is a worrying sign.

"But if the board can be a counter to the UN? Then good.

"The Board of Peace was started in order to try to secure the situation in Gaza. And if the president succeeds in that, then he deserves every accolade. He will have solved one of the hardest conflicts in the world.

"After all, Phase 2 of Trump’s peace plan is now meant to be in process. That involves demilitarization of Gaza, new governance and reconstruction.

"Yet Hamas still has a presence in Gaza. That “presence” means the group is still killing, torturing and otherwise intimidating the citizens of Gaza. In order for peace to break out, Hamas needs to be disarmed.

"And that’s where the really big problem of the UN creeps in.

"I’ve witnessed plenty of UN peacekeeping efforts for myself over the years. And they have a huge problem. Mainly the fact that the last thing most UN “peacekeeping” forces want to do is to fight.

"Yet unless they are willing to fight, how can they keep the peace?

"Some readers will remember how effective Dutch troops were in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. They stood aside as Serb forces massacred around 8,000 Bosnians.' . . . More...

Does Gen Z even know what a fascist or a nazi is?

 

The Young Right: Are Gen Z Turning Fascist? — Pi Media

. . . "The psychological roots of this shift to the right may lie in this youth’s perception of the state of the world. Professor of psychology Michele Gelfand has found that in times of perceived threat – whether war, economic instability, or climate disaster – societies tend to become more restrictive. ‘When people perceive threat – whether real or imagined – they want strong rules and autocratic leaders to help them survive’, she explains. In a study published in the Behavioural Scientist, she found that even brief exposure to false information about terrorism, overpopulation, or pandemics made participants more likely to favor authoritarian policies." . . .  I do not see a shift to the right in Minneapolis.

 Holocaust history: Millennials, Gen Z can't name concentration camps  "Almost two-thirds of millennials and Gen Zers don't know that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, and almost half can't name a single concentration camp, an alarming new survey on Holocaust knowledge has found.

Case in point.

"The survey demonstrated wide gaps in younger American's knowledge of the genocide while also showing a concerning 15% of millennials and Gen Zers thought holding neo-Nazi views was acceptable.   

"How much of that is based on genuine understanding of neo-Nazis principles and how much is based on ignorance is hard to tell. Either of them is very disturbing," said Gideon Taylor, president of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, which commissioned the survey.". . . More...

Notice Anything Missing From Those Winter Storm Stories?

Issues & Insights 

"What changed? Nothing, other than the water levels of the Great Lakes at the time these “experts” were making their claims. (See: “Great Lakes Reveal a Fatal Flaw in Climate Change ‘Science’.”)"

"Over the weekend, USA Today reported that northeast states were experiencing an unusual winter problem – a shortage of salt.

"It seems that there have been so many snowstorms this winter that even states like Michigan and Vermont – which are quite accustomed to them –  are running short of the snow-melting chemical.

“An official from Monroe County, [Michigan] located between Detroit and Ohio, told the news station that local crews used more salt in December than in the past four Decembers combined,” says USA Today.

"But what’s curiously missing from this and other accounts of the winter storm is the obligatory mention of “climate change” as the cause. It seems that bad winter weather is just weather. Whereas bad summer weather is always – always – and prominently blamed on our burning fossil fuels.

That’s not to say that no story over the weekend brought up “climate change.” But most of those were in response to President Donald Trump’s post on Truth Social: Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States. Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain — WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???   Donald J. Trump | Truth Social

IDF Recovers Body of Last Israeli Hostage In 'Large-Scale' Gaza Retrieval Operation -

 Conservative Review   

"Netanyahu made clear on Monday that his next objective "is not reconstruction," saying Hamas must be fully disarmed and expelled from Gaza before Israel green-lights any efforts to rebuild." 

"Israel on Monday recovered the remains of its final missing hostage, 24-year-old Ran Gvili, who died fighting Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023, the Israel Defense Forces announced.

" 'Sergeant First Class Ran Gvili, who served in the Israeli Police Special Forces, 24 years old at the time of his death, fell in combat on the morning of October 7th, 2023, and his body was abducted to the Gaza Strip," the IDF said. "With this, all hostages from the Gaza Strip have been returned."

Ran Gvili

"As the IDF statement notes, all 251 living and dead hostages are now back in Israel after more than two years since Hamas's attack. The terror group, battered from its war with Israel, had claimed to face difficulties locating Gvili's body, leading the IDF to launch a "large-scale" retrieval operation in northern Gaza. Israeli forces scoured several sites in Gaza where they believed Hamas had placed Gvili's body during the war, including a cemetery in the Strip's northern section and other areas along the ceasefire line, eventually confirming the identity of the remains at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine."In a video posted to social media, Israeli president Isaac Herzog removed his yellow hostage pin, signaling that the nation is finally healing more than two years after Hamas's brutal terror rampage. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after Gvili's body was returned that Israel is now prepared to enter the second phase of the plan, which will include "disarming Hamas and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip."

"Gvili's body emerged as a central sticking point for Israel after Hamas had located and handed over each living and dead hostage as part of the ceasefire agreement. The operation to retrieve his remains came just after Middle East peace envoy Steve Witkoff met with Netanyahu to press Israel to begin phase two of the process, which calls for the opening of aid corridors and the beginning of reconstruction efforts. While Israel on Sunday agreed to open the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt—a pipeline both for aid and weapons for Hamas—it appears that the two sides have differing visions on what the next step will entail."

Time is on Trump’s side in Minneapolis

"Democrats have normalized attacking federal officers. This is the bloody result. Enough is enough."

"On Saturday, the national media had a nervous breakdown over a border patrol agent shooting and killing a domestic terrorist who brought a gun and dozens of rounds of ammo to a “mostly peaceful protest.”

The New York Times best articulated the media spin: “An ICU nurse shot by federal agents was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said. A New York Times video analysis shows he was holding a phone, not a gun.”

"This reminds me of the New York Times story in 2014: “Autopsy Shows Michael Brown Was Struck at Least 6 Times.”

Not until Paragraph 9 did NYT bother to tell readers that the doctor never examined the body and based his report on X-rays. The doctor said the X-rays showed Brown was running from the cop. The waved his usual $10,000 fee.

Two months later, the real autopsy showed Brown was running toward the cop.

"Once again, a lie made it around the world before the truth got out—after Ferguson, Missouri, was devastated by riots. But now we have X to separate New York Times lies from the truth.

REPORTER: “You just made claims that the individual posed a threat to law enforcement.”

KRISTI NOEM: That is no claim. It is the facts. This individual showed up to a law enforcement operation with a weapon and dozens of rounds of ammunition. He wasn’t there to peacefully protest. He was there to perpetuate violence.

And he was asked to show up, and to continue to resist, by a governor who is irresponsible and has a long history of corruption and lying.

"At her press conference, Noem also said:

"Hundreds of protesters then showed up at the scene, they began to obstruct into assault law enforcement officers, we saw objects being thrown at them, including ice and other objects, and a rampant assault began—and even an HSI officer agent’s finger was bitten off." . . .

Newsom Does Davos  . . . "Many Californians would say a walnut is too large. Newsom’s arrogance and ignorance are astounding.

"Newsom’s ignorance is overwhelming. He’s also strangled the state with his willingness to lie to fit whatever narrative he wants the leftist press to report. Still, he can’t hide from how the state went from a huge surplus to a budget shortfall during his tenure. In 2019, his first year in Sacramento, there was a $21.4 billion budget surplus. His latest budget will have at least an $18 billion deficit. Maybe Newsom should take some economic classes at a Minneapolis Learing center." . . .
