The sheer size difference between this Bald Eagle and Coyote, the Bald Eagle is warding the Coyote away from a Deer carcass. These images are from a trail cam in Pennsylvania.

Happy Birthday, America!

23 Politico story says dem reps are pissed at dem guvs for not helping nudge Biden out, suggests impure motives:

"Few of the governors have to run for reelection this year, but more than a handful of them are eager to seek the presidency in 2028. And there’s no path for any of them then if Vice President Kamala Harris by then is President Harris seeking reelection. Moreover, if she runs a credible, last-minute race and loses narrowly this year to former President Donald Trump, it still may be difficult to deny her the nomination in four years. 'Sink Kamala so she’s not the nominee in both ’24 and ’28,' as one House Democrat texted upon hearing of the governors rallying to Biden."

and then you slam into a tree, or the ground. But it is safer than the wingsuit proximity daredevils.

The rigid frame of the old hang gliders was safer from a collapsing wing, but heavier. ... I tried paragliding in the CA dunes (where Ten Commandments was shot) but could barely get off the ground. Friend of mine was giving lessons out there, maybe still is, idk.

I see them a few times a year, but three times when I lost chickens, I saw bald eagles within a day of the chicken loss. And never found any feathers or remains ... and the chickens were staying under cover after those attacks.

34 Skip - I'm probably going to have to say this about 1000 times between now and the election.

I'm reporting how people are going to vote, including in PA. How that relates to vote counts is going to vary state by state.

In the case of PA, it really comes down whether or not Shapiro has Presidential ambitions in 2028. If he does, you are going to have a relatively fair election. If not, then he will cheat like hell.

Same story in Michigan, and probably more so. Whitmar is absolutely running in 2028 if Biden loses.

42 I had a breeding pair of Cockatiels. I had just a female and someone gave me a male, "Buster". They hit it right off and had a half dozen or so broods of 2-3 until the female died.

Buster would take over after the eggs were laid, sitting on the nest most of the time and doing all the feeding. He would chase the female away from the chicks. He would beat up on her sometimes too. He was kind of a mean bird except when it came to those chicks. That's probably why the previous owner wanted to give him away.

I had Buster another 15 years or so untill he passed away. I don't know how old he was when he was given to me, but he was not a young bird then.

You have to understand what the race is about. Labour was always going to win. That's not the point.

Farage's Reform Party is the Tea Party of the UK. They are running against the Conservative Party which is even further left than the Republican Party.

They were predicted to get 0 seats. They are going to get double digits and it will all be from the Conservatives.

The Brits aren't stupid and Sargon is a very savvy guy who would be on our team here. They are pumped with what they see happening.

Just pointing out how slow the actual count is. I've been watching Sargon for 10 years.

There was one poll discussed on GB News pre-election that gave Reform 100+ seats. The problem is no-one has any idea.

Andrew Bridgen appears to have left the conservatives and is running for one of the more obscure parties. He has a video on his actual campaigning. It's brutal ...

74 >>>BBC link provided by ace on previous thread still shows Labour 4 everyone else 0 ( labour +1, conservatives -1 on "change").

the top line is projected based on exit polls. The line you're looking at is seats already decided. They only closed the polls at 5pm EST. So it will take a few hours for those actual results to come in.

This was in all the polls for the past 2-3 weeks (ever since Nigel got in). What is unknown is *how many* places Reform is first.

If they get close to 7m votes it's massive and the actual number of seats will be moot.

Unfortunately, Labour is still moving towards Tony Blair's program of destroying Britain. Starmer is more dangerous than he appears.

Posted by: Dave in Fla at July 04, 2024 07:03 PM (5p7BC)"

Amazing, how anybody still pays attention to "538", after 2016.

There's no reason why anybody who voted for Trump in 2024 wouldn't do so again, and plenty of reason for those who didn't to wise up.

It's hilarious that he's giving Trump a "52%" chance, when everybody else - especially the Dems - are speaking as though a Trump victory is inevitable, even as they rail against it.

Trump was up by a solid margin in PA in 2020 (but it was stolen, obviously). It's undoubtedly bigger now.

2016 was set up to be stolen as well. As Gen McInerney told us, "It (the steal) was stopped". As youknowwho told us, "they never expected her (Hillary) to lose".

Probably, the 2020 steal was allowed to happen, for strategic reasons (and Continuity of Government kicked in), and the 2024 steal will be stopped, just as the 2016 steal was.

That is what has Sargon's panties wet. It matches the most extreme pro-reform polls pre-election ... except Labour were below 40% in those. It means that Farage *will* be the opposition unless the seat distribution is truly abysmal.

Is Joe really out? I don't think that's clear yet. The white hats seem to be positioned better and better every week, and he is obviously the guy they want the Dems to go with. So who knows?

The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, but there's something kinda above THAT, namely "continuity of government (COG)". No, Biden - who is well-known to be an agent of a hostile foreign power - most certainly does NOT have the nuclear codes. Probably, the reason they swore him in early was so that nobody noticed that the nuclear football guy wasn't going to show up at noon, sharp.

The interesting question is who DOES, actually have them. Seems like during the MAL debacle, the Dems were freaking out about nuclear secrets, of something, so I take that as a hint that THEY don't have them, and want to know who DOES.

239 The only possible explanation for why the military didn't send an aircraft to pick up Biden for his inauguration - he had to bum a ride - is because he is NOT their commander-in-chief. So much has been hiding in plain sight, all along.

At the same time, the National Guard had the Capitol surrounded with tens of thousands of troops, with checkpoints at all entrances and exits to the city. They were called up by Trump! That was supposed to be to protect the Biden administration from millions of angry MAGA people, who aren't violent, and weren't coming anyway? It makes no sense.

Lots going on behind the scenes; the evidence hiding in plain sight. I won't pretend to know exactly WHAT has been going on, but it seems the be the white hats doing their thing.

You don’t want mine. My house was built at the tail end of Covid when you couldn’t find appliances. We were delayed and delayed, to the point it was affecting our ability to close. We ended up settling for a Samsung just to get something in, with the promise we would upgrade asap. 3 years later, it’s still there.
