[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A gang-affiliated teen accused of kidnapping, stabbing, and disembowling a 14-year-old boy in Washington state has been released on bail. Hayden Scott Lusebrink, 17, of Tulalip, was arrested on December 18 and booked into the Snohomish County Juvenile Detention Center. Judge Jon Scott of the Snohomish County Superior Court set his bail at $300,000, according to court documents obtained by The Post Millennial. The defendant posted bond and was released from custody on December 20, jail records show.
Lusebrink has been charged with first-degree assault, first degree robbery, and first-degree kidnapping. According to a probable cause affidavit, Snohomish County prosecutors said Lusebrink worked with co-accomplice Millorz Canales, 17, of Marysville, to lure the young victim to Lions Park in Everett, a city just north of Seattle, on December 17. The pair allegedly tied the victim to a tree, repeatedly stabbed him, disembowled him, and left him for dead.
After Lusebrink and Canales expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, the 14-year-old victim managed to free himself and escaped to a nearby neighbor's home. The resident called 911 to report that a teen covered in blood arrived on their doorstep. According to court documents, the victim had "traumatic" injuries including multiple stab wounds and was disembowled. The victim told authorities that the two suspects stripped him naked and held him at gunpoint during the attack.
The letter "N" was carved into the victim's chest. Court documents show that the victim told police one of his attackers was in the "Norteno" gang. The victim was transported to Harborview Medical Center at death's door.
Lusebrink and Canales were arrested at their homes the next day, December 18. Both of them are students at Lakewood High School and have been charged as adults.

[Breitbart] Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced an open investigation by the country’s attorney general’s office against the mayor of Coalcoman, Michoacan, over a Christmas party. Government officials in attendance allegedly praised various drug kingpins from Cartel Jalisco New Generation for “their generosity” in giving a large number of gifts to local children.
During her morning news conference, Sheinbaum condemned the alleged praise of the drug lords by town mayor Anavel Avila Castrejon as “a statement in support of criminal activity.”
“There is an investigation of the town mayor,” Sheinbaum said. “If she has or does not have ties to that criminal group, there has to be an investigation by the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) that determines that.”
The incident began shortly after Christmas Day, when videos surfaced on social media showing a party in Coalcoman with city officials and even a high-ranking military officer in attendance. During that party, cartel members reportedly gave out hundreds of toys to the local children.
Later that night, local officials reportedly put up a banner thanking Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera and his sons for their generosity.
The man, El Mencho, is the supreme leader of the hyperviolent cartel Cartel Jalisco New Generation. That criminal organization has been responsible for numerous mass killings, confrontations, and even the use of explosives to target their rivals. CJNG has also been linked to multiple attacks where cartel members have killed innocent victims in random attacks.
[IsraelTimes] Tens of thousands of people gather on Istanbul’s Galata Bridge on New Year’s Day to express solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza in an anti-Israel protest.
Demonstrators wave Turkish and Palestinian flags and chant “Free Palestine” in the protest, organized by the National Will Platform, a coalition of more than 300 pro-Palestinian and Islamic groups.
Bilal Erdoğan, the son of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, addresses the crowd, urging support for Gaza and condemning Israel’s actions there.
He refers to the recent ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by rebel forces.
“Muslims in Syria were determined, patient and they achieved victory. After Syria, Gaza will emerge victoriously from the siege,” he says.
Drone video shows thousands of people filling the bridge and the adjacent Eminönü and Sirkeci districts.
President Erdoğan has been a fierce critic of the Israeli offensive in Gaza, sparked by the Hamas terror group’s October 7 onslaught.
President Erdogan despises and is frustrated by those uppity Jews, who despite his instruction and conniving defy Allah, refusing most unnaturally to submit.
[IsraelNationalNews] The Tikva Forum of hostages' families on Wednesday sent letters to key Religious Zionist leaders, including rabbis and the heads of local councils, claiming that in recent weeks certain bodies have begun reaching out to National Religious communities and organizations for "discussions" masquerading as talks on "unity," while their real intentions are a call to "end the war" and pay "a painful price."
According to the Tikva Forum families, these calls will not bring the hostages closer to home - they actually distance that possibility, and further endanger the hostages.
"The demand that we stop military action in Gaza makes us appear weak and inspires Hamas to continue to reject proposals and refuse to release our loved ones," they explained. "Remember that that Hamas has refused every single deal throughout the past year."
[IsraelTimes] In ‘Operation Deep Layer,’ IAF special forces rappeled from helicopters, killed guards at entrance to scientific center in Masyaf, raided underground site, set explosives, took documents
Israel on Wednesday took responsibility for a commando raid against an Iranian missile manufacturing site deep in Syria in September, an operation already widely attributed to the Israel Defense Forces.
The revelation of the raid, dubbed internally by the military "Operation Deep Layer," came weeks after the fall of the Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Despoiler of Deraa... regime in Syria, which was closely aligned with Iran. Assad had allowed Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... to use Syria to manufacture and deliver weapons to the Hezbollah terror group in Leb ...home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.... Members of the Israeli Air Force’s elite Shaldag unit raided the Scientific Studies and Research Center, known as CERS or SSRC, in the Masyaf area on September 8, to demolish an underground facility used by Iranian forces to manufacture precision missiles for Hezbollah.
The site lies more than 200 kilometers (124 miles) north of Israel, though only about 45 kilometers (28 miles) from Syria’s western coastline.
The IDF had been monitoring the site for more than five years, targeting its facilities numerous times, although it identified that the Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s were not sufficient to target some of the underground infrastructure established by the Iranians at CERS.
During the September 8 raid, IAF commandos reportedly rappelled down from helicopters and raided CERS, killing the few guards standing at the entrance to the site, before heading deep underground to the missile manufacturing facility.
The troops laid explosives inside the underground facility, before removing intelligence materials and documents and escaping unscathed. The forces detonated remotely the underground site, along with the equipment inside used by Iran to manufacture missiles for Hezbollah. According to some Israeli defense officials, the soldiers were on the ground for just over an hour.
As the helicopters were flying to the facility and during the raid, Israeli aircraft struck numerous targets in the surrounding area, including roads to the facility, reportedly killing at least 14 people and wounding 43. The strikes were intended to both mask the approach of the helicopters and the ground operation, as well as prevent anyone from reaching the facility.
Israel had informed the US before the operation was slated to take place, and was not met with any resistance from the White House.
The details of the operation were first reported days after the raid by Middle East researcher Eva J. Koulouriotis, citing an unidentified security source. Later, the Axios news site and The New York Times
...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... published much of the same details, citing American and Western officials familiar with the operation.
The Masyaf area, west of Hama, was used as a base for Iranian forces and pro-Iranian militias and was repeatedly targeted by Israel in recent years. With the fall of the Assad regime in early December, Iranian forces withdrew from the site and Syria. Western officials previously associated CERS with the manufacture of chemical arms. According to the United States, sarin gas was developed at the center, a charge denied by Assad regime authorities.
Israel has been carrying out airstrikes inside Syria since the outbreak of that country’s civil war in 2011, mainly targeting attempts to transfer weapons to Hezbollah or to keep Iranian fighters themselves from gaining a foothold near Israel’s border.
Following the fall of the Assad regime, the IAF carried out a major 48-hour bombing campaign in Syria, destroying most of the former regime’s military capabilities, in an effort to prevent advanced weaponry from falling into the hands of hostile elements. Israel feared that the former Syrian army’s weapons could fall into the hands of hostile forces in the country, as well as the Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Update from the Times of Israel at 12:30 p.m. ET — lots of details about the raid, including video taken as the 120 commandos went through the facility.
