Fly Like an Eagle!!!

Nature 3 Minutes

Whoops! Wrong Eagles!  (But we’re in the playoffs this year! GO BIRDS!) Back to our regularly scheduled open…

Spotting an eagle is a rare moment for many people, but when the chance arises, how much do you actually know about these beautiful birds?

Here we’re going to look at the top 30 interesting facts about eagles.

There are over 60 different species of eagle, most of them from Africa, Asia and Europe.

Despite the bald eagle being an emblem of the United States, just two species can be found on the continent.

The eagle is known to be one of the strongest birds able to carry the heaviest loads, with one being recorded carrying 15 pounds.

Eagles vary in length, weight and other dimensions due to their environments in many cases. Eagles living in forested areas will likely have shorter wing spans, while those living in open areas will have longer wing spans.

A typical adult male eagle weights just nine pounds, despite its strength and large size.

With a height of 3.5 feet and a wing span of 7.5 feet, the average male bald eagle is one of the largest birds around.

The bald eagle takes its name from the fact it has a white head while the rest of its body is brown.

The eagle featured on U.S. currency was modeled on a real bald eagle named Peter who used to live on top of the U.S. Mint. After his death in 1836, Peter was stuffed and is still on display inside the very building upon which he once nested.

Eagles have been used in the police and the army several times, and in The Netherlands, eagles were trained to help control drones.

It is thought that larger eagles lived in New Zealand until the year 1400. Their wing spans may have reached up to 9.8 feet.

In Scandinavia, some eagles have built nests so heavy that they have broken the tree.

Bald eagles can mate while flying or free falling.

An eagle’s beak contains keratin, which means that it grows all the time just like human hair and fingernails.

During the first half of the 20th Century, bald eagles were considered a threat to the salmon fishing industry and over 100,000 eagles were killed.

The eagle has long been considered “The King of Birds”.

In many countries, the eagle is thought to bring good luck, which is one reason it has been featured on various national flags.

A mother eagle will generally lay two eggs, although in most cases, one of the baby eagles is stronger than its sibling and will kill the weaker one.

The eagle is built to be strong and powerful among other creatures. Its beak and talons enable it to be threatening and ruthless, and its amazing eyesight allows the eagle to see long distances for prey.

It takes a number of years for a baby eagle to grow its talons fully.

Although eagles can live up to 70 years, this isn’t always the case and they normally become weaker towards the end of their lives, unable to hunt as they used to.

An eagle’s brilliant eyesight is owed in part to its sizeable eyes, which can take up around 50% of the head.

A male and female eagle tend to stay together all their lives, building nests every year in the same place. It’s fair to say eagles are creatures of habit!

The female eagle will spend most of the 35 days keeping her eggs warm, while the male ensures food is brought to the nest.

Eagles do not all feed on the same food. Some eagles will feed on mainly fish, while others feed on other, smaller mammals.

When baby eagles are born, they are covered in gray feathers and don’t have the typical brown and white pattern until they are 4 years old.

The bald eagle was endangered in 1967 and there were less than 500 eagles left. Fifty years later in 2007, it was removed from the endangered list but is still protected.

A rare species of eagle is the smallest kind, the South Nicobar Serpent Eagle. It weighs just one pound but can fly faster than many other birds of this size.

A Martial Eagle once killed a deer weighing 82 pounds. This was despite the fact the eagle only weighed around 10-12 pounds itself.

Eagle feathers are in high demand across North America, but it is illegal to hunt or kill eagles and get them.

  3. isn’t THIS interesting??????
    it seems vp ultra maggot removed CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS (while vp) to an office and apparently “forgot” about them…they were discovered. when you ask? right before the midterms but was just revealed NOW…Some Dude has the story
    FTA
    The motive for the public disclosure is somewhat interesting. Is the publicity through CBS, a known friendly narrative engineering firm for the interests of the Democrat apparatus, a specifically timed release against the backdrop of a DOJ decision not to prosecute President Trump for similar issues? Something to consider.

    (CBS News) – […] The material was identified by personal attorneys for Mr. Biden on Nov. 2, just before the midterm elections, Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president confirmed. The documents were discovered when Mr. Biden’s personal attorneys “were packing files housed in a locked closet to prepare to vacate office space at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.,” Sauber said in a statement to CBS News.

    The documents were contained in a folder that was in a box with other unclassified papers, the sources said. The sources revealed neither what the documents contain nor their level of classification. A source familiar told CBS News the documents did not contain nuclear secrets.

    Sauber also said that on the same day the material was discovered, Nov. 2, the White House counsel’s office notified the National Archives, which took possession of the materials the following morning.

    “The discovery of these documents was made by the President’s attorneys,” Sauber said. “The documents were not the subject of any previous request or inquiry by the Archives. Since that discovery, the President’s personal attorneys have cooperated with the Archives and the Department of Justice in a process to ensure that any Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives.”

    A source familiar with the matter said representatives from the National Archives then notified the Justice Department.

    Garland assigned U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch to find out how the material marked classified ended up at the Penn Biden Center. The review is considered a preliminary step, and the attorney general will determine whether further investigation is necessary, including potentially appointing a special counsel.

    Lausch was nominated to be U.S. attorney by former President Donald Trump, and he is one of only two current Trump-era U.S. attorneys still serving. The other is Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who is leading an investigation into the president’s son, Hunter Biden.

    Lausch recently briefed the attorney general and will eventually submit a final report to Garland. The review is expected to conclude soon.

    The Penn Biden Center is a think tank about a mile from the White House, in Washington, D.C., that is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania and named for the sitting president. (read more)

    Kennedy urges Roberts, Garland to take action to protect national security from foreign actors meddling in U.S. courts
    Jan 09 2023

    MADISONVILLE, La. – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and ranking member of the Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Agency Action, Oversight and Federal Rights, wrote U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, urging them to take action in order to mitigate the threat foreign actors like China are posing by covertly funding litigation in U.S. courts.  

    “Few safeguards exist in any form of law, rule, or regulation to prevent foreign adversaries from participating in civil litigation as an undisclosed third-party in our country’s federal courtrooms—this resulting in our national security and our entire government being vulnerable to manipulation,” Kennedy wrote.

    “As a member of the Judiciary Committee, I ask that the Department of Justice provide details about any course of action that has been taken to mitigate this threat. I also recommend that the Judicial Conference of the United States consider proactively providing guidance to courts from coast to coast as means of preventing foreign entities from hijacking our federal judiciary,” Kennedy stated.     

    The letter comes as recent reports reveal that foreign hedge funds, private equity funds and sovereign wealth funds linked to hostile governments are financing civil lawsuits in U.S. courts with a desired outcome. 

    The full letter is available here.

  21. “We Have a Tripledemic. Not of Disease, But of Fear.” — Getting sick sometimes is the price of returning to normal. Dr. Vinay Prasad thinks it’s more than worth it.

    By Vinay Prasad
    January 10, 2023

    EXCERPT: “For the last few weeks, the media has been filled with stories about what The New York Times has described as our latest “viral onslaught.” It’s been dubbed a “tripledemic”—a combination of Covid-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is being blamed for high rates of illness and an excess of hospitalizations, especially among children.

    The message is clear: fear winter respiratory viruses, and take every possible precaution you can. It’s time to slap on those N95s once more, avoid crowds, and socialize outdoors if possible.

    But the best available evidence contradicts the narrative from the media and many public health officials. The precautions being recommended are essentially unproven—akin to burning an incense stick, or wearing garlic to ward off vampires.”

      My guy picks it up, fixes it, and brings it back – usually within a day – for less than $100!!! Except when I had to buy a new battery, which is understandable. Since I’ve been so out of touch, and used it so little last summer, I didn’t have Jerry service it – I did bring the battery inside for the winter to preserve it. I hope he hasn’t died or something…..his wife died a couple of years ago and his son had pretty much taken over his shop – the one who works on my truck – except for the mowers.

  28. Garland is showing his bias
    FTA
    Following the Mar-a-Lago raid, U.S. attorney general Merrick Garland revealed that he had personally approved the decision for the FBI to execute a search warrant at President Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago.  

    Garland pompously proclaimed that:

    “Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy. Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly without fear or favor. Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing.”

    So let’s look at Biden’s situation now.

    The classified documents were at least six years old and were kept in an unsecured location for a prolonged period of time. 

    There could have been a break-in and the documents could have fallen into the hands of hostile powers. perhaps some were already accessed and copied by unauthorized personnel or hostile foreign adversaries. 

    Biden’s lawyers’ discovery of the classified documents is itself a breach because they did not have security clearance to access these documents.

    Since Biden was responsible for the documents, the blame solely falls on him. 

    If Biden was this careless with classified documents that he left them for years at his think tank office, perhaps he left other documents lying around his various homes, too. Biden, recall, also had a Washington, D.C. office he shared with Jill, dissolute son Hunter, and an “emissary” for a Chinese oligarch, with a shared key. 

    Perhaps some of the classified documents were within the reach of Hunter Biden, or the Chinese official he shared office space with, Gongwen Dong, which means they could already be with the Chicoms.

    If the FBI actually stood for the grand claims that A.G. Garland made and had uniformity in enforcing the laws, all of Biden’s homes and offices would have been raided and meticulously scrutinized for classified documents.

    But that won’t happen.

    We can be sure that Biden will never suffer consequences for his actions. The worst-case scenario is one of Biden’s staffers will be blamed and Biden will pardon the official later.

    In fact, it is quite surprising that the agencies even revealed these discoveries.

    It is also most unusual that various Democrat mouthpieces in the media are covering it and are even being critical of Joe Biden. They obviously continue to claim that Trump’s situation with the classified documents was much worse, yet the fact that this is being covered is most rare.

    Perhaps the establishment is looking to force Biden to not run in 2024 and this is the first warning shot? This is the week that Biden is expected to announce his run for re-election.

    This discovery of the materials comes as Special Counsel Jack Smith is investigating President Trump for allegedly mishandling classified records at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

    Once again, if there was fairness, a special counsel would also be appointed to look into Biden’s mishandling of classified records, but we know that won’t happen either.

    These agencies clearly have no regard for fairness or objectivity or propriety or the law of the land, their goal is only furthering the Democrat agenda. 

    snip

    Biden himself wondered how “anyone could be that irresponsible” to have classified documents in a private facility.

    Biden also said that the government needs to figure out “what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods?”

    In September, Joe Biden was asked about the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.

  31. “Covid-Jab Induced AIDS: Sickness and Death Will Increase as mRNA-Damaged Immune Systems Succumb to Every New Disease — The “conspiracy theory” that was “debunked” last year is quickly becoming more and more certain as a near-future reality.”
    BY ETHAN HUFF January 10, 2023 in Cross-Posted, Opinions

    EXCERPT: “Recently, a paper was published in the journal Science Immunology showing that people who get “vaccinated” for covid with mRNA suffer immune dysregulation resulting in overproduction of an antibody called IgG4. This dysregulation means that over time the “fully vaccinated” will lose their generalized immunity and no longer be able to ward off coronaviruses of any kind, including the common cold.

    (Related: https://naturalnews.com/2021-12-10-vaccine-induced-vaids-rising-mass-covid-vaccination.html)

    With each subsequent infection, someone who got all his covid shots will become increasingly more prone to illness. Conversely, those with natural immunity will become less prone to infection because their immune systems function properly and continually learn how to fight mutating disease. Since most people are fully injected, covid infections will continue – and on average, their severity over time will increase, which would not have been the case had nobody ever gotten jabbed.”

    Tom Renz
    10 min ago

    EXCERPT: “For nearly three years we have been subjected to lies, misinformation, corruption, and death and I am announcing it is time for accountability. Our federal bureaucracy is corrupt beyond words and the politicians are worse. Any legitimate scientist – that is not bought off – can see what has happened and any with ethics has been speaking out. Only the most corrupt or lazy members of the scientific community are still promoting the COVID narrative, and particularly, the vaccines.

    As the died suddenly phenomenon continues to repeat in athletes such as Damar Hamlin and in many children, the idea that the mRNA gene therapy jabs posing as vaccines are either safe or effective is rightly crumbling. Unfortunately, this death and destruction is unnecessary. The simple fact is that prior to the release of these “vaccines” the FDA was already expecting the side effects that we are seeing (see the leaked FDA presentation from fall of 2020). Further, the post-authorization study Pfizer was required to perform and that was submitted to the FDA in early 2021 demonstrated that the issues these jabs were expected to cause were actually happening.
    ——————-
    The PREP Act provides immunity to the death-jab manufacturers for the poison they created. This immunity is unacceptable and, I would argue, unconstitutional. That said, I do not need to argue the constitutionality of the PREP Act to file a suit here, I only need to demonstrate the willfulness that is difficult to argue did not occur. Beyond what I believe to be the willful nature of Pfizer’s actions, I also believe it to be clear that a number of anti-trust laws and consumer protection laws were violated by these actions.

    All this leads me to the point. I have begun work on a lawsuit against Pfizer. I believe that, upon filing, the value of the lawsuit will approach or exceed $1 trillion dollars.

    Generally speaking, I do not like announcing work on a lawsuit. The development of such a complex suit takes a LOT of time and many things can change. New information can shift legal theories or shed new light on the best approach. In this case I am making an exception due to my ethical analysis.”
