Attorneys for a man charged with murder in connection with the killings of four University of Idaho students are asking a judge to throw out most of the evidence in the case because they say it all hinges on an unconstitutional genetic investigation process. Bryan Kohberger's defense team also contends that the search warrants in the case were tainted by police misconduct. They will make their arguments during a two-day hearing starting Thursday morning, part of which will be closed to the public. If they are successful, it could throw a major wrench in the prosecution's case before the trial starts in August.

Yeah, well, you know, lawyers will say black is white, day is night, up is down. And they will charge you a million or so to do that.

Does Idaho still have the death penalty? Just asking. If so, I can recommend the perfect candidate.

I agree that obtaining DNA evidence through genealogical databanks is an evolving process. But it has helped capture numerous criminals, including the Golden State Killer (Joseph Deangelo). No judge is going to throw the evidence out.

The defense has no defense so is doing what they can with nothing to work with. The defense's first effort is to keep the evidence of guilt out of the trial. It won't work, so don't worry about it.

As you know, President Trump kept one of his biggest promises: he pardoned all the January 6th political prisoners on day one. That’s the good news. The bad news is that reports suggest that some of these prisoners still haven’t been released, despite the fact that a presidential pardon is absolute and immediate.(snip)Now, more rumors are swirling. This time, we’re hearing unconfirmed reports that DC jail guards—suspected of abusing and beating January 6th prisoners—are in full-blown panic mode. According to the rumors, these terrified guards are worried their actions against J6 American citizens will come to light and force them to face justice.

Joe Biden’s handlers didn’t pardon him—maybe by design. Perhaps, in the end, Joe, the man riddled with dementia, will be the fall guy for his entire criminal enterprise. And wouldn’t that be sweet justice?The buzz about this possibility is gaining traction, thanks to a bombshell twist in the Biden crime family drama. A newly discovered bank account reveals over $240,000 in foreign money wired directly to Joe Biden, with no explanation. Is this more classic Biden laundering tactics hiding in plain sight?

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) voted on Jan. 21 with Republicans to advance the nomination of Pete Hegseth, President Donald Trump’s choice for defense secretary, but said that he will not switch to the Republican Party. Fetterman was the only member of the Democratic Party to join Republicans in passing a motion to proceed with Hegseth’s nomination. Every other Democrat who voted, as well as the two independents in the Senate, voted against advancing the nomination. Fetterman’s vote was not required to move the nomination forward because Republicans hold 53 seats in the 100-member chamber, and a simple majority was needed. However, the vote marks the latest

President Trump Restructures the National
Security Council and Removes IC Influence

People have asked why we focus so much sunlight and attention toward the network silos that operate the Intelligence Community (IC) and as an outcome the national security focus of government. The answer is simple, as Mary McCord herself admitted publicly, the IC are the background approver for every weaponized approach of government, including the DOJ. With that in mind, CTH has painstakingly made the case –with details and receipts– for a process of removing the IC silos from influence over the Office of The President. The Chief Executive must control all elements of national security policy and implementation.Thankfully, the Supreme Court recently affirmed the plenary power

Joe Biden was handing out preemptive pardons to some of the Swamp’s creepiest and slimiest characters. From Fauci to Milley, Cheney to Kinzinger, and plenty of ghouls in between including the one we’re focusing on today: Adam Schiff.Schiff happily accepted the blanket pardon—but why? If he did nothing wrong, why would he need one? That’s the question that is coming back to haunt Schiff, even as we speak. After all, it was Schiff who showed up on Joy Reid’s low-rated show to discuss these preemptive pardons, and how innocent people don’t need them.

With only 15 minutes to go as president, Joe Biden snatched infamy from the jaws of obscurity. With record-low polling and widely viewed as a “failed” president, Biden completed his one-man race to the bottom of ethics by issuing preemptive pardons to members of his own family. The pardons were timed to guarantee that the media would not focus on yet another unethical act by this president. He need not have worried. For four years, the media worked tirelessly to deny or deflect the corruption scandal surrounding the Biden family.

Literally minutes before he leaves office, Joe Biden just issued blanket pardons for his closest family. Having previously pardoned Hunter Biden, the departing executive just pardoned his brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses. The Biden family crime syndicate, those who engaged in the benefit of Joe Biden selling the influence of his office for financial gain, are attempting to preemptively pardon themselves from any investigation or prosecution of their criminal conduct.(snip)Recent legal debate has surrounded the issue of a prosecutor who may bring an indictment against a person after they have been issued a pardon.

Mexican authorities blocked a US military plane from deporting illegal migrants on Thursday after President Trump's immigration crackdown began. US officials told NBC News that a jet filled with illegal immigrants bound for Mexico never took off after authorities south of the border rejected the move. The flight was one of three that were set to take off on Thursday, alongside two Guatemala-bound Air Force C-17s carrying over 150 people, as part of what Trump has described as the largest mass deportation effort in US history. Deporting migrants to foreign countries requires permission from the incoming nation's government, which Mexico declined on Thursday.

U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) said in a statement that the Trump administration deployed approximately 1,500 active-duty personnel from the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps to augment those who are already there assisting federal border officials. “These military forces will support enhanced detection and monitoring efforts and repair and emplace physical barriers,” the statement said.

On January 21st, 2025, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance attended the Service of Prayer for the Nation at the National Cathedral. As a believer, I attended the service for the purpose of praying for our nation, President Trump, the president’s family, and the success of his administration. I purposely left the prayer service early after realizing how the pulpit was being used for left-wing activism and not for true worship unto God, to seek His will and wisdom. Mr. President, what accosted you at the prayer service was political–not biblical.

Pete Hegseth will have enough votes to become Secretary of Defense, which is a tremendous victory for Donald Trump. The vote was 50-50, and Vice President JD Vance is expected to break the tie. All eyes were on the votes by Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), as Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) had previously indicated they were going to vote against Hegseth. McConnell voted no, but Tillis ultimately decided to vote for Hegseth's confirmation. "From the beginning, I have been clear about my position: if President Trump’s nominees were reported favorably out of the relevant committees, I would support their confirmation

President Donald Trump cut off taxpayer-funded security detail for Dr. Anthony Fauci, he confirmed this week. According to The New York Times, Fauci did not have Secret Service protection. He was protected by federal marshals, and later by a private contractor whose fees were paid by the government. Trump confirmed the news to a journalist in North Carolina. “I think when you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off, and you know, you can’t have them forever,” Trump told a reporter at a hurricane response briefing in Asheville, NC.
Wall of ice the size of Rhode Island heading

The world's biggest iceberg — a wall of ice the size of Rhode Island — is lumbering toward a remote island off Antarctica that's home to millions of penguins and seals. The trillion-ton slab of ice — called a megaberg — could slam into South Georgia Island and get stuck or be guided around it by currents. If it gets stuck it could make it hard for penguin parents to feed their babies and some young could even starve. Overall, however, researchers aren't too worried about major harm from the iceberg, named A23a.

The 31-year-old grandson of the 35th president took to social media to brush aside the bombshell announcement Trump made about long-held government secrets tied to JFK’s assassination, Schlossberg’s great uncle Robert F.
