[PJ Media] CNN is reporting that the suspect in the Idaho quadruple homicide, Bryan Kohberger, was pounced on by police after unknown DNA at the scene of the crimes was matched to one of his relatives on a site popular with the public for tracing ancestry. CNN did not name its source for this information and is the only news outlet reporting this development. Moscow police have warned against taking information from any source other than official channels due to the massive amounts of misinformation that have been circulating since the murders happened.
If, however, CNN’s source is correct, it could explain why the FBI was tailing Kohberger for four days before an arrest was made. Detectives have been known to retrieve DNA from a suspect’s garbage cans or drinkware left behind in a restaurant in order to confirm their suspicions.
Genetic genealogy helped investigators identify the suspect, a source with knowledge of the case said. DNA found in Idaho was taken through a public database to find potential matches for family members, the source said. Once potential family matches were found, subsequent investigative work by law enforcement led to the identification of Kohberger, according to the source.
Kohberger, a criminology student at Washington State University — only a short drive away from the University of Idaho — who was pursuing a doctorate, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary, which is defined in Idaho as entering with the intention to commit murder. The charges stem from the night of November 13 when four students at the University of Idaho, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, were stabbed to death as they slept in a house just off campus.
A white Hyundai Elantra was spotted near the murder scene on police bodycam footage from an unrelated call on the night of the murders. The same car was also spotted on security footage from that night by a gas station attendant. The Elantra was recovered in Pennsylvania at the home where Kohberger was arrested by SWAT at 3 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 30.
Seriously. I'm glad the guy was caught (if indeed he's the guy) Given my shakey relationship to some of my extended familial units, I'm no fan of them ratting me out while trying to find out if they're related to Catherine the Great.

Ah'm still full from Thanksgiving!
[Breitbart] The fight against obesity is rooted in “racism,” according to a Scientific American essay that claimed black women “consistently experience weightism in addition to sexism and racism,” and the prescribing of “weight loss” has “long since proved to be ineffective.”
In a tweet from the Scientific American Twitter account sharing the piece on Wednesday, the popular guide — which is the oldest continuously published magazine in the U.S. — claimed the “heightened concern about black women’s weight reflects the racist stigmatization of their bodies.”

FACT:
Some people store more and burn less than others based on their Genetics. Then there are those that pig out and sit on their growing Butts and blame the world for it.
But misusing the excuse of Racism has made the term RACIST meaningless and little more than a catch-all whine for too many.
If, I was of a race that had real foundational racism still applied against it by others, like is done in Africa / Mid-east / Asia and Eur-Asia still today. I'd be pissed every time some yahoo "played" the Race Card for attention.

It's not just those of African heritage. The Navajo in the four corners suffered sever Covid consequence because they as a population are obese and suffer with elevated diabetes. The lands have never been a haven of bountiful agriculture. The introduction of readily available and accessible food has intersected with a body that evolved to pull every last bit of nutritional substance to ward off famine.

I met Shiloh Lakota yesterday a native of North Dakota. Loves to fish and has several records to her name. Bad knees and bad back but lives on. I spoke of two cowboys I had met some time ago. She said they are full of life, drink, fights and so on.
Semaglutide, sold under the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus, is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and as anti-obesity medication for long-term weight management, developed by Novo Nordisk in 2012.
I mentioned it to my endocrinologist, Penguin, who said that for at least the next 12-18 months they are having trouble producing enough of this and other diabetic medications for already diagnosed diabetic patients. Until that acute need is covered, the merely overweight and pre-diabetic will have to wait, Also, it is supposed to be coupled with exercise and a moderate diet, so it may well first be recommended for use in a controlled setting.

Locally compounding pharmacists are mixing b12 with semaglutide, and it's 1/10th the cost. Quite effective, I instruct patients to only put 1/3rd usual portion size on plate or be very uncomfortable after eating. Slows gastric emptying initially, then induces early satiety. Not seen loss of efficacy like with traditional drugs.

I don’t know about small circuit performers elsewhere, but here in Cincinnati groups are continually forming and reforming, individuals flowing from one group to the next — like Monty Python’s Toad the Wet Sprocket. And everyone has CDs now — at minimum something recorded in the basement, created on the household computer, artwork by Cousin Suzie — to send to bar owners before signing a contract and for selling to fans at the bar between sets for a little extra profit. Or rent a studio for a day and pay an artist or photographer to create something higher quality. Not many nowadays get the major studio treatment that used to be standard.
[The Federalist] The pastor of a large rural congregation was preparing his New Year’s Day sermon, based on the Old Testament text, 1 Chronicles 17:16-17. As he often did, he wrote a hymn to go with his message. Little did he know that his words in that simple hymn would be sung throughout the world for the next 250 years, and become one of the most loved hymns of all times, "Amazing Grace."
Sunday, Jan. 1, 2023 is the 250th anniversary of this famous hymn written by Rev. John Newton, an Anglican priest and former captain of slave ships, who later in life joined William Wilberforce and worked to abolish slavery in the British Empire.
Newton wrote "Amazing Grace" for his Anglican congregation — St. Peter and Paul Church in Olney Buckinghamshire, England — to sing on New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, 1773. The former wicked seafaring blasphemer, whose life took a dramatic turn when spared from a deadly storm, contemplated with King David, "Who am I, O Lord God...that you have brought me thus far?"
[Headline USA] BLUF: 1. The role that the intel community and the Justice Department played in fomenting violence through psy-ops on Jan. 6, 2021, will be exposed. Sadly, in their expected counter-investigation responding to the Pelosi-run Jan. 6 committee, even House Republicans may withhold state secrets from us. But the FBI’s damaging partisan conduct has generated a multitude of whistleblowing defectors who should be willing to shed light on the dubious allegations of right-wing extremism and violence at the U.S. Capitol—and in the 2017 Charlottesville riot that was its dress rehearsal.
2. The deadly impact of the COVID vaccines will become undeniable. Initially, I had considered writing about how the GOP House will expose Anthony Fauci’s role in developing the COVID-19 virus, but that already has been scrutinized to death, and without any accountability to back it up, it makes no difference. But there are plenty of other COVID abuses that will keep on yielding new storylines. And none may be greater than the decision by pharmaceutical companies to suppress therapeutics and overplay the importance of their untested and experimental new vaccines. The evidence is mounting that the vaccines themselves may have been as deadly and damaging as the virus—something to which many life-insurance actuaries may be able to attest. Whether the vaccines do, indeed, have nanobots that self-assemble and transmit wi-fi, there is a lot of reason to suspect that they are harmful on some level.
3. The scope of China’s control over the U.S. government will become clearer. We know about the various financial ties between the Biden family and the CCP. We know that other top leaders, including Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell are heavily invested in Chinese industry. But what we have yet to fully explore is the way that China-linked companies like BlackRock have also completely infiltrated the White House and are effectively writing U.S. foreign policy.
4. The true nature of David DePape’s relationship with Paul Pelosi will be revealed. While court hearings have kept a tight lid on the evidence in the Paul Pelosi assault case, including body-cam footage, it will be harder for Nancy Pelosi to flex her authority after stepping down as House speaker. It is very clear that the assailant, David DePape, is no right-wing extremist and that there is more going on that meets the eye.
5. We will find out what Trump’s purloined Mar-a-Lago files really contained. Punting the DOJ probes that resulted in the unprecedented raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort to corrupt special counsel Jack Smith was a good way to keep them out of the reach of GOP oversight in the U.S. House. But, eventually, the clock will run out and it will be necessary to explain why, exactly, this norm-violating measure was taken. Odds are it was a CYA operation by the FBI to prevent Trump from exposing the Russia-hoax documents that he already had publicly declared to be declassified.
6. We will learn what the Democrats intend to do with Joe Biden and who will be tapped to replace him. Will it be Michelle Obama, as I and others have long predicted? Or could they pull out another yet-unknown figure who has been carfully vetted and groomed in secret, like her husband, Barack? Once the Democrats finally decide that Biden has outlasted his usefulness, their reasons for installing him in the first place may become clear. When Barack Obama was overheard telling a Democrat donor "Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up," there is a good chance it was a sales pitch more than a warning.
7. We will discover the truth about the U.S.—Ukrainian partnership to research and develop bioweapons. Congress has allocated in excess of $100 billion to defend something in Ukraine, but it sure ain’t democracy. While their personal investments in Burisma—or in weapons manufacturers like Raytheon—may be prime motivators, all indications are that the country is a rat’s nest of CIA operations.
8. The Left’s plans to normalize and mainstream pedophilia will come to fruition. The initial push to sexualize and groom children in schools and on kid-friendly mediums like Disney may have fallen flat, but leftists will only redouble their efforts to foist this onto the population because the ability to control and manipulate young minds is pivotal to their long-term plans for control. By acclimating children to sex at an early age, they can add it as another weapon in their quiver, which also includes cultivating ignorance and racial grievances, so that the plebian class is as pliable as possible.
9. The World Economic Forum will lead the way in trying to turn humans into glorified Matrix-style batteries. The convergence of artificial intelligence technology, the metaverse, the decline of office culture, growing clamor about digital passports and currencies, guaranteed incomes and an ever-increasing scarcity of resources suggest that the global plans to collectivize all nations under a one-world government are being gamed out as we speak.
10. As the relationship between Big Tech and the spy agencies becomes clearer, we will learn that our personal devices are tracking our every move. Knowing what we know about the interest that the FBI and the CIA have in manipulating technology companies to perform extralegal operations, and what we know about the reprehensible virtue signaling of Google and Apple, is there really any doubt that they have empowered our intel community to conduct warrantless domestic surveillance from any device at any time and that our phones are being used to monitor us, in true Big Brother fashion, around the clock?

[Competitive Enterprise Institute] Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.
None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.
What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science.
More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science.
While such predictions have been and continue to be enthusiastically reported by a media eager for sensational headlines, the failures are typically not revisited.
#OTD in 1942, USS Nautilus (SS-168) conducted an unusual mission by rescuing a group of refugees in the Solomons that included nuns in white habits who had evaded the Japanese for 9 months. The 4 "Submarine Sisters" of St. Joseph of Orange returned to the Solomons after the war. pic.twitter.com/TsPhpA9H8H
A narrative:
It is Sept. 18, 1940, and four Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange stand on a dock in Wilmington. In traditional black and white habits, they make last-minute arrangements for what will be a three-month journey to Buka, barely a spot on a map of the Solomon Islands. Buka is the northernmost and western island most of the Solomon Islands.
Two are teachers, two are nurses. They are known as Sister Celestin Belanger of San Francisco, Sister Hedda Jaeger from Pasadena, Sister Isabelle Aubin from Massachusetts and Sister Irene Alton, daughter of the Orange County dairy family that Alton Parkway is named after.
Alton’s brother warns war is brewing with Japan and advises she stay away from the South Pacific.
The nuns press on, determined to live and work for years in the Solomon Islands helping local people. They believe they understand the dangers, which include an epidemic called yaws that has spread across the tropical Pacific. The disease infects skin, bone and cartilage.
In a just-published book called “Trapped in Paradise: Catholic Nuns in the South Pacific 1940-1943,” their journals reveal much more.
On their first day in Buka, the sisters write they tend to four babies in a primitive nursery. All are under three months. One weighs 4 pounds. She gets goat’s milk.
The baby’s mother has been dead four days.
Alton contracts cerebral malaria. Sick for six months, she nearly dies. But — just in time — a doctor from Australia manages to deliver medicine by ship and saves her life.
Soon, the sisters switch to cooler white habits. Still, the cloth touches their ankles and with little water they are forced to go weeks without washing clothes. In marked contrast, the locals wear nothing more than wraps around their waists.
It’s difficult, but at least it’s peaceful. That ends Dec. 7, 1941, when the nuns receive a radio news flash. Pearl Harbor has been bombed. Days later, Guam and Wake Island fall.
The British Commonwealth government orders women and children to evacuate. Missionaries, however, may stay.
The nuns stay.
Just after the new year, Manila falls. Nine days later, Japan invades the East Indies.
Three weeks later, the nuns write, “Yesterday, a Japanese bomber flew right over our very heads. We do not know what the future holds for us, but we know that you are all praying for us at home, and even in the face of danger we are happy to be missionaries.”
Heroes on the horizon
By the end of January, Rabaul, 200 miles from Buka, is overrun by the Japanese. Fearing Japanese reprisals, villagers in Buka arm themselves with knives and say they will kill the local Roman Catholic priest if he so much as talks to them.
The nuns ignore the threats.
As Sister Eileen McNerney, one of the book’s editors, explains, “A shepherd does not leave his sheep.”
But in mid-March, eight Japanese warships anchor off Buka. They take a priest prisoner. Japanese planes circle. Assumed to be a spy, a local plantation owner is shot, his throat cut.
In nearby Guadalcanal, two priests and two nuns are bayoneted.
The sisters realize their only hope is to flee Buka, make their way to a larger island called Bougainville and disappear into the mountains.
With little to eat, no fresh clothes and Japanese planes flying almost daily, they hide for more than nine months.
They range in age from 35 to 50.
Circumstances grow even more desperate. In December, a priest promises a plane will pluck them away. But as more Japanese move onto the island, his promise proves impossible.
At the end of the month, the nuns are told to secretly ford a river, climb a steep and slick embankment, wade through tall grass, slog through bogs and make their way to a beach.
“A submarine,” a priest says, “is going to pick you up.”
At 1 a.m., they spot flashing signals offshore. With 25 other evacuees and cloaked in darkness, the four sisters climb aboard a rubber launch.
“We were very close when we all saw the outline of the submarine,” the sisters write. “It was huge, and the entire deck was lined with men to help take us aboard.
“You cannot put into words the feeling one has for those of one’s own country, especially when one is miles from home and running away from the Japanese.
[American Thinker] The Propaganda State in the USA envelops government, institutions, and the mainstream media. What do they all have in common? Their funding and wealth derive directly or indirectly from government. Legislation created the broadcast industry that now allows six companies to own and control 90 percent of the media in America.
The recent revelations of Twitter working with the FBI and other government departments and agencies to censor Americans is an extension of the Propaganda State becoming a police state. Like mushrooms sprouting in the dark, the police state has emerged in the Unites States without the mainstream media reporting it. The "Twitter Files" make clear that censorship flourished on Twitter to promote only authorized information from government. A new political age has erupted with coordination by Big Media, Big Tech, and Big Government to control the flow of information and censor all contradictory information. This coordination does not occur overnight. It takes decades of hiring like-minded people and avoiding well qualified or better qualified people who do not share their political views. The authoritarian state is here, and the institutions have been massaged for particular outcomes and political agendas to support the overwhelmingly dominant political force.
News from the mainstream media ignores the rampant crime in cities, social decay, corruption, and economic failure. Government now divides people by race, often citing pervasive racism, though offering little or no evidence to support it beyond propaganda stereotyping police.
The Propaganda State needs to constantly fabricate crimes to enhance its power. Propaganda driven by Big Media and Big Tech is the megaphone to promote Big Government disinformation and indoctrination. This is what the Twitter Files exposed clearly. The FBI is used to censor Americans in the name of national security or preventing "misinformation," using methods of communist dictators Stalin and Mao. We even have a show trial in Pelosi's sham January 6 "unselect committee." There is a political pattern to the political show — two fake impeachments with no substance — like the "show trials" of Stalin in the former USSR. Even the raid on President Trump's home appears fabricated, because every former president has removed millions of documents, and to believe that only President Trump violated the "National Records Act" in removing documents is folly.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was offered and rejected up to 20,000 National Guard troops by President Trump for January 6. January 6 appears to have elements of entrapment because there is video of Capitol Police opening doors and waving people into the Capital Building. Since Nancy Pelosi undoubtedly made the final decision rejecting the presence of the National Guard on January 6, she is primarily responsible for the "break-in" at the Capitol.
J6 Committee propaganda aims to blame President Trump for the debacle. Many citizens are still under arrest for January 6 incident, held without bail. Even juries are suspect in Washington, D.C., a bastion of Democrats, where brainwashing and allegiance to Big Government appear complete. Under Pelosi, the Capitol Police have expanded, opening up offices around the country, spreading federal tentacles closer to the citizenry.
The arm of the Propaganda State has embraced and merged with the police state to target political opponents, including a president of the United States. The Twitter Files lay bare a coordinated effort to silence and censor both a former president and thousands of average Americans in a web of suppression promoting propaganda, a gross violation of freedom of speech. Former FBI agents were hired to assist Twitter in implementing widespread censorship.
The looming police state suppresses freedom and censors in the name of security and "misinformation," using the "terms of service" of social media platforms. The political system is paralyzed, unable or unwilling to decisively to defeat the juggernaut of tyranny descending across the nation.
The ease and speed with which freedom of speech was dismantled — not only on social media platforms, but also in the mainstream media and the colleges — is ominous and justifies the admonition from John Adams in a letter in 1814 to John Taylor: "Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
Are there the will and leadership in the nation to prevent the fall of the United States with a viable Constitution intact?
BLUF:
[HOT AIR] Whipple writes about Biden’s suspicions that some of his Secret Service agents are "MAGA sympathizers" because they are "white ex-cops from the South who tend to be deeply conservative." Gasp. Not white Southerners! (sarcasm) What an idiot. Joe Biden is all the ’isms’ he accuses others of being.

The difference is, a Conservative Southerner is more likely to take their job serious and would properly protect a Liberal president.
But, now put the shoe on the other foot.
What do you think would happen if say Trump was protected by a collection of West Coast/ NYC / Chicago type Liberals?

The Clintons reportedly had similar suspicions in their day. President Trump had serious problems with the Never Trump claque, a very different experience.
[American Thinker] To those who still care about science as a process that uses honest data to produce replicable results, the last couple of decades has been disheartening when it comes to everything from so-called "Anthropogenic Climate Change," to COVID’s origins and treatments, to so-called "transgenderism." Still, we consoled ourselves that there were certain things so cut-and-dried that they could not yield to politics. For example, how certain diseases affect men and women differently. A monkeypox study in The Lancet blows even that faint hope to smithereens.
There is something bizarre about a Lancet article entitled "Human monkeypox virus infection in women and non-binary individuals during the 2022 outbreaks: a global case series." It had all the earmarks of a reputable study.
It was published in The Lancet, which still rests on a reputation it earned over 199 years. It has an enormous number of authors with strings of letters behind their names:
And of course, its very format implies respectability.
The fact that it referred to non-binary individuals was a bit concerning, but the casual reader would assume that the article focused on biological women, no matter what they claimed to be. After all, we’ve long known that diseases affect men and women differently, including the fact that men and women perceive the onset of a heart attack in very different ways. That makes sense, given that men and women have different organs, bone structures, and hormones.
The devil, as always, is in the details. It turns out that almost half of the "women" involved in this study about monkeypox in women...were men:

This explains why instead of stacking articles under a single headline by province or battlefield or opponent, we are now general able to publish articles individually, even collecting human interest stories from time to time. For the sake of the Syrians who just wanted to live peaceful lives but were forced into horrible adventures instead, I am glad. May the year that starts today find entire regions settling into peaceful co-existence.
[AlAhram] At least 3,825 people have died in Syria's war in 2022, the lowest yearly toll since the start of the conflict more than a decade ago, a war monitor said Saturday.
The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights had last year put the corpse count at 3,746 throughout 2021, before revising it up to 3,882.
After years of deadly battle and bombardments following the brutal suppression of 2011 anti-government protests, the conflict has largely abated in the last three years.
Sporadic fighting at times breaks out and jihadist attacks continue, mainly in the east of the country.
Among those killed in 2022 were 1,627 civilians, including 321 children, according to the figures from the Observatory, which relies on a wide network of sources on the ground in Syria.
Of the civilians killed, 209 people -- about half of them children -- were killed by mines or other bombs.
In addition, 627 government security force personnel were killed along with 217 other fighters loyal to the regime of Bashir al-Assad, the Observatory said.
Some 387 members of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and their allies were also among the dead, as well as more than 500 jihadists.
The director of the Observatory, Rami Abdel Rahman, told AFP a large number of the deaths occurred due to security chaos, dozens of strikes launched by Israel, and attacks by the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group in the Syrian desert.
The war has killed nearly half a million people since it broke out over a decade ago, displacing almost half of Syria's pre-war population.
Assad has retaken most of the territory initially lost to rebel groups, though the SDF - which the regime maintains a degree of cooperation with - continues to control areas in the north and northeast.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... , a key player in the war, has repeatedly threatened to launch a ground offensive against the Syrian Kurds in recent months, having already pursued three such offensives previously.
In addition, about half of the northwestern province of Idlib and areas bordering the neighboring provinces of Hama, Aleppo, and Latakia are dominated by the jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... (HTS) and other rebel factions.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
