[Breitbart] A pair of Seattle, Washington-area teens accused of tying a younger boy to a tree and “disemboweling” him in a possible gang-related attack earlier this month have been charged as adults.
Everett Police responded to the area of Olympic Drive and Rainier Drive in the early morning hours of December 17 after a 911 caller said that a teenager covered in blood was at their home, FOX13 reported.
Upon arrival, officers observed a 14-year-old victim with “obvious stab wounds,” the department said in a news release.
No suspects were present at the scene, believed to have “fled on foot,” police said.
By December 18, two 17-year-olds who were “known” to the victim were arrested in their respective homes, the release stated.
According to FOX13, all three teens are students at Lakewood High School in Arlington.
Court documents obtained by the outlet revealed more gruesome details of the incident, including that it may have been a gang-related setup involving a girl.
Security footage from the 911 caller’s front door shows a “disemboweled” and naked teen ringing the doorbell while “struggling to breathe,” the outlet reported of probable cause documents.
The boy’s injuries were described as “traumatic,” including a letter “N” that had been carved into his chest.
The young teen told police that he had been stabbed in the nearby Lions Park, and that one of the suspects was a member of the “Norteños”
… the various affiliated Mexican-American gangs that pay tribute to Nuestra Familia while in California state and federal correctional facilities
— which the City of Everett describes as “a group of Latino street gangs with origins in northern California.”
The 14-year-old told police that he had been in communication with a girl over social media, and agreed to meet her on the evening of December 16, court documents stated.
“After picking him up, the victim suggested they go to Lions Park to hang out and smoke,” FOX13 noted.
The victim told police that while the girl was driving them to the park, he believes that she was messaging someone to let them know their location. He knew the girl had previously “set up one of his friends and attacked her,” documents stated.
After arriving at the park, the victim got out of the car and went to open the driver’s side door for the girl when two people grabbed him and took him into a “wooded area,” according to the outlet.
“The girl then drove away,” the article reported of allegations in the court documents.
While the perpetrators were wearing ski masks over their faces, the victim told police that he quickly recognized them before they forced him to strip off his clothes and tied him to a tree at gunpoint.
After allegedly stabbing him, court documents said the suspects fled the scene and the victim was able to free himself and get to the nearest home for help.
He was transported to the hospital and is expected to survive, Fox News reported.
The two 17-year-olds, identified by the outlet as Milo Canales and Hayden Lusebrink, have since been charged as adults with first-degree assault, first-degree robbery and first-degree kidnapping.
Canales, who was allegedly found with the victim’s bloody clothing, had his bail set at $1 million.
He was already facing felony charges in juvenile court for a November 2023 robbery in Seattle, but had been released from custody on December 2, according to KOMO News.
Lusebrink, who had his bail set at $300,000, bonded out and was released.

Sounds like a job for Homan. If the perps are citizens, sweep the neighborhood for relatives and friends. We don’t need the EME farmhands anymore than we need the Salvadoran and Venezuelan thugs.

[FoxNews] The employee had a difficult time reading the memo allegedly passed by a man
A Colorado man allegedly attempted to rob a bank but left with nothing after handing a note to a teller who was unable to decipher what he had written, according to police.
The incident happened shortly before 5 p.m. on Dec. 17 at First National Bank at 750 North Lincoln Ave. in Loveland, Colorado, according to the Loveland Police Department.
Police said the man walked into the bank and handed the teller a note.
The teller, however, had a difficult time reading the note since it was allegedly almost completely illegible, according to CBS Colorado.
The man allegedly grew frustrated as the teller was struggling to read the note, so he quickly left the bank, the outlet noted.
Police are still searching for the suspect.
The man was captured in surveillance images wearing a brown hoodie, green pants, a green baseball cap, sunglasses and brown gloves.
Anybody interesting getting the money? This should prove amusing when winter temperatures make the silly things inoperable.
[Breitbart] Several Illinois school districts will be receiving millions in federal grant dollars to purchase electric school buses to replace gas-powered ones, Board of Education officials said.
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) announced on December 19 that it had been awarded a $19.9 million grant from a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) initiative “made possible by President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.”
The initiative, called the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Grant (CHDV) program, is doling out more than $400 million to communities across the country in areas that have been designated as being in “non-attainment” with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
The nearly $20 million will be distributed to nine Illinois school districts in order to replace 70 traditional school buses with “zero-emission” electric buses, as well as to install electric vehicle charging stations for each new bus and to conduct workforce training to “support these new technologies,” the ISBE said.

Currently (no pun intended)
After about 2,500-3,200 charges, many Large Electric Vehicle batteries start losing battery charging capacity on an increasing scale.
Meaning, the ROI is fewer miles per $$$/charge.
Then there is the Electric Bill, Special charging areas, Special Fire Suppression Equipment needed, Special Trained Maintenance personnel higher salaries, Cost of Replacement in the $30K+, and finally the Environmental impact issues / Hazmat for disposal.
So in 6+/- years they'll likely need 4x's the original amount to replace the batteries, disposal costs.
OBTW: Illinois gets cold as a Well Digger A$$, and EV batteries don't like that either, nor the Road Salts.
100% EV's, typically, lose an average of 41% of their range when outdoor temperatures drop to 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's not the stupidest thing they've got going.
They've also been buying electric snowplows.

That should prove interesting with the cold and salt (especially in Chicago where they dump salt 'pellets' the size of baseballs all over the road).

....Oh, yeah - salt brine on the batteries. Gonna look like an outtake from an action movie.

In addition to reduced range, another disadvantage of EVs in winter is that you don't get all that yummy warm "waste heat" from the engine to de-ice the windshield and warm the cabin.

[Regnum] On the morning of December 29, a powerful X-point flare was recorded on the Sun. This was reported by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"A flare of the highest X value was registered on the Sun this morning. The event began at 10:08 Moscow time. The peak radiation was registered at 10:18. The explosive phase of the event lasted for about half an hour. The preliminary value of the event is X1.1," the laboratory's website said.
It is specified that the increase in solar activity has been observed for about a week and during this period the number of solar flares has increased almost twofold, but they have only now reached their highest level.
The laboratory added that the flare occurred in the area of possible impact on the Earth and the mass of emissions from it with moderate magnetic storms could reach the Earth in the period from December 31 to January 1.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on December 8, two solar flares of the highest class X and M occurred. In total, eight flares were recorded on the Sun that day, most of them of the middle class C.
In mid-November, scientists registered a powerful solar flare, in the M-class range but close to the highest class (X). Its duration was 31 minutes.
On November 6, the Institute of Applied Geophysics reported that scientists had registered the second highest class X flare on the Sun since the beginning of the month. Its duration was 32 minutes.
[FoxNews] China directs largest military build-up since 1930s Nazi Germany, expert warns, citing Pentagon report. Defense report says China seeks 'mind dominance' through AI, tech in latest 'psychological warfare' operation
China is conducting the largest military build-up seen since that of Nazi Germany during the 1930s, one expert warns, after a new Department of Defense report detailed Beijing's operations including bolstering weapons and psychological warfare.
In a piece for The Federalist, Chuck DeVore, chief national initiatives officer at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, referenced the Pentagon's annual report to Congress and warned that the United States has spent $5.4 trillion on its war on terror and futile nation building while the Chinese threat has grown. He urged that Congress get on board with the incoming Trump administration to reallocate resources within the Pentagon to better prioritize naval strength, nuclear deterrence, missile defense, and logistics.
"China is engaging in an unprecedented military build-up that the world frankly hasn't seen since Adolf Hitler in the 1930s," DeVore, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, told "Fox & Friends Weekend."
"Now the big difference there, is that he really focused on land power, which frankly is pretty easy to build up pretty quickly," he added. "Navies are much more difficult to build up. And we are way behind. And not only do we need to catch up, but we also need to modernize our nuclear weapons, and we need to put a lot of effort into missile defense."
DeVore further detailed the Department of Defense's findings in its report, which summarized "military and security developments involving the People’s Republic of China" in 2024.
"They're massively building up their nuclear arsenal. We expect it to expand to at least 1,000 warheads by 2030, only five years from now. Probably going to be bigger than that," DeVore said Sunday. "The Chinese Navy, not by tonnage, but by numbers is now larger than the U.S. Navy. China has something like 250 times the ship building capacity that America does."
The report cites how China has bolstered its People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF) arsenal to include 50 new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), which can strike the continental U.S., raising its total to 400. As far as the report discloses, the DoD says China has added 300 medium-range ballistic missiles and 100 long-range cruise missiles. Their arsenal also now includes more than 600 operational nuclear warheads and is expected to have more than 1,000 by 2030.
The DoD says the People's Republic of China (PRC) has the world’s leading arsenal of hypersonic missiles, including the DF-27, which as DeVore notes, "are capable of evading U.S. missile defenses and targeting Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska."
China already has the largest navy in the world but is expected to expand from its current 370 ships and submarines to 435 by 2030.
The 182-page DoD report also details how the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the military arm of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), seeks "to expand the reach of its influence operations around the world and seize information dominance on the battlefield," by researching and developing what it "believes to be the next evolution of psychological warfare," known as cognitive domain operations (CDO).

[Regnum] French politician, leader of the opposition movement "Patriots" Florian Philippot called on France to leave the European Union after the ruling of the EU Court, according to which the country is obliged to pay family benefits to families of illegal immigrants.
"The European Court of Justice has ordered France to pay family benefits to families of illegal immigrants. And yet their presence in France is illegal... Let us remember that this right is above any of our national rights, including the French Constitution! When will we get out of this madhouse?!" Filippo wrote on his page on the social network X.
He noted that the only way to maintain control over the situation is Frexit - France's exit from the European Union. Filippo also called hypocrites those who condemn the described situation, but do not call for France to leave the EU.
But thus far leaving has not been permitted, no matter how devoutly the populace might desire it.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier Filippo called on France to leave the EU in order to save its agriculture. In his opinion, such a step must be taken due to the European Commission's plans to speed up the adoption of a free trade agreement between the EU and Mercosur.
…a regional economic group of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela, founded in 1991.
Filippo recalled that this decision was announced in Brussels at the height of farmers' protests in Europe. He called for the EU to be liquidated before it destroys the French economy.
[FoxNews] The EU's budget cannot be used to fund defense directly, and some NATO experts are proposing a global defense bank
As NATO member states struggle to meet their defense spending goals and war rages on Europe's eastern front, officials are struggling to agree on a plan to shore up hundreds of billions of dollars to bolster defenses.
Eight NATO countries did not meet their 2% target for defense spending in 2024. And as many member states struggle with chronically stressed budgets, calls to meet those goals are not being heeded quickly.
The European Commission estimates about 500 billion euros, the equivalent of $524 billion in investments, are needed in the coming decade to defend Europe against evolving threats.
The EU's budget cannot be used to fund defense directly, and some European officials and NATO experts are proposing a global defense bank to dole out funds for military modernization.
A defense, security and resilience (DSR) bank would issue bonds backed by AAA ratings for financially strapped countries to upgrade their defenses and would provide guarantees for commercial banks to offer credit to defense suppliers.
