Full horror of Oklahoma teen Noah Presgrove's injuries explained - as autopsy results give chilling insight into his final moments
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Noah Presgrove, 19, was found dead on a desolate highway on September 4

  • Hours earlier he was at a four-day party with friends at a house a mile away

  • Doctor believes autopsy report showed he was likely beaten to death by group

Noah Presgrove suffered dozens of horrific injuries from broken bones to smashed teeth, brain damage, and bleeding inside his skull and chest before he died naked by a lonely highway.

The teenager, 19, was wearing only two mismatched shoes when his body was discovered on a desolate stretch of US-81 near Terral, Oklahoma, on September 4.

He was last seen alive about a mile away at a four-day 22nd birthday party with friends over the Labor Day weekend that was heavily documented on social media.

Oklahoma Chief Medical Examiner Leonardo Roquero ruled Presgrove died of 'multiple blunt force injuries', but how he got them was 'undetermined'.

His autopsy report released on Monday detailed extensive injuries to the teen's upper body, including 10 broken ribs, serious skull, neck, and spine fractures, internal bleeding, brain and organ damage, and cuts and grazes all over his body.

#1  Happened in Vegas @85. Similar damage.
Neighborhood kid got a little too friendly with a drug buddy's girl.
The crew gave him a beatdown then folded him up, sitting, in the street. With a guy on each arm a third hit him with a car.

Teenage Rapper 'Rylo Huncho' Shoots Himself in the Head While Recording TikTok Video Playing with a Gun (VIDEO)
[Gateway] The teenager uses the name "Rylo Huncho."

According to a report from Hip Hob Vibe, "Rylo Huncho’s real name has not been disclosed. However, he was known for his energetic performances and promising music career...he was filming content for his TikTok account when the gun discharged. So, this resulted in a fatal injury."

It remains unclear if the shooting was intentional or an accident.
Was he trans?
The report adds:

Family members have since set up a GoFundMe page to help cover funeral expenses and support the grieving family during this challenging time. The page has seen an outpouring of support from fans and the community, reflecting the impact Rylo had on those around him.

The GoFundMe page was set up by a cousin of Rylo Huncho’s. In her description, she says that the cause of death was accidental/suicide. Also, she says the the family is still trying to figure out why. This is how the GoFundMe statement reads.
"accidental/suicide"......?
Rylo Huncho’s untimely death has sparked conversations about the responsibilities of social media platforms and the influence they have on young users. The community continues to rally around the family, sharing memories of Rylo’s passion for music and his bright future.

Over $2,000 has been raised on the GoFundMe fundraiser.

The description reads, "Hello , my aunt recently lost her 17 year old son from a self inflicted gun wound to the head . He was her only son ! She was a single parent but took care of her son the best she could. Suicide/accidental was the cause of his death we are still trying to figure out why . But anything I mean anything can help her at this time of need . He was her only child she was also an only child it was always her and her son . Anything can help ! Please keep my family in your prayers thank you so much."

The Gateway Pundit has not been able to independently verify the validity of the GoFundMe or any claims made about the teenager.

A report from Biz Pac Review noted, "The brief viral clip raised questions about the fate of the rapper and at least one social media account suggested, ’according to his family, he went to the hospital and died from injuries. his friend posted the video [because] people were saying the friend shot him. his family was also saying he was depressed but since he is gone, we will never know if it was a major accident or purposely done.'"

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] An earthquake of magnitude 5.8 occurred in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean, 37 km southeast of Amukta Island, the Kamchatka branch of the geophysical service of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported.

The earthquake occurred at 12:35 Moscow time. The outbreak lay at a depth of 33 km. No tsunami threat was declared.

According to the Volcano Discovery portal, the magnitude of the earthquake was 6.0. The outbreak lay at a depth of 30 km.

Government Corruption
Judge Rules That Noncitizens Can't Be Discriminated Against in Voting Matters
[Hot Air] Is preventing noncitizens from engaging in voter registration drives discrimination that violates the 14th Amendment?

A federal judge in Florida thinks so and has ruled against a Florida law that bars aliens from engaging in voter registration drives.

Now I don't know about you, but I thought that discriminating against noncitizens when it comes to voting was pretty normal, and, in fact, completely in line with federal election law.

Now let's be clear: the judge is not saying that noncitizens can register and vote, but rather that they have a right to engage in voter registration drives, which surely wouldn't ever, not once, register a noncitizen to vote. That would be illegal, and if there is one thing we know, people never commit crimes.

#9  Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued the injunction Wednesday against the part of the law that targeted non-citizens, saying it violated the U.S. Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.
The Hispanic Federation, Poder Latinx and individual plaintiffs filed the challenge in May 2023 after Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican–controlled Legislature approved the restrictions.

#10  The solution is obvious and consistent with the Judge's ruling. Simply remove the non-citizens and the problem is moot!

#11  Isn’t the judge supposed to tell the litigants that they have no standing, that the case is not ripe yet and then later declare laches. What’s with all this proactivity?

Clinton Hart Merriam: Collector of creation
[BLAZE] The father of mammalogy never tired of exploring nature's infinite variety.

God is not a minimalist. Our planet contains over 2 million species of life. On its own, this fact is staggering enough, but rarely do we contemplate its even more staggering implication: Somebody had to go out and find a sample of each and every one.

Known as the "father of mammalogy," zoologist Clinton Hart Merriam took to nature at a young age, collecting specimens of birds with a rifle and preserving them with taxidermy picked up from the retired army surgeon next door.

His impressive collection earned him a spot on the 1872 Hayden Survey of the Rocky Mountain West at age 16. Studies in natural history, anatomy, and medicine followed. After a few successful years as a practicing physician, Merriam returned to science, serving as a surgeon on the Arctic exploration vessel the SS Proteus while collecting marine mammals. The relatively new field of mammalogy soon became his primary interest. By the time he was 30 he had more than 7,000 specimens, more than most public collections.

Even as his collection grew to encompass more exotic animals, Merriam never lost the sense of wonder instilled by his earliest encounters with creation. Looking through the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology's collection of Merriam's papers, archivist Greg Borman was surprised to discover an ode to the humble squirrel:
