Black & Gold Sap Sucking Slug

Nature 1 Minute

From: whatsthatfish.com:

Also known as Black-and-Gold Cyerce, Black-and-Gold Sap Sucking Slug, Many Petalled Sea Slug, Many Petalled Slug, Nudibranch, Sacoglossan, Sacoglossan Sea Slug.

Found singly or in pairs over rubble and sandy areas of coral and rocky reefs. These nudi’s can drop cerata when disturbed, these are sticky and carry on moving around presumably as a form of defense!
They feed on algae.
Length – 2cm
Depth – ?m
Widespread Indo-Pacific

Opisthobranchia – Nudibranchs – Sea Slugs meaning “naked gills” are mollusks without a hard shell.
All opisthobranchs are hermaphrodites.
These beautiful slugs are usually brilliantly colored and this in itself can act as a deterrent against predators. Some sea slugs secrete acid from stinging cells in their tentacles while others secrete acid from cells in their mantle.
Nudibranchs are slow moving, can swim or be propelled along either by muscular contraction or by millions of tiny hairs on the bottom of a fleshy ‘foot’, they have a voracious appetite and feed with a rasp like tongue.
Nudibranch lay their eggs in a ribbon effect on the sand, in different colors depending on species.

  1. Just The News: “Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., is expected to resign from the Senate on Aug. 20 following his conviction in a federal corruption trial, according to sources close to the senator cited in a report.

    New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, will choose an interim replacement after receiving Menendez’s resignation. 

    A Manhattan federal jury found Menendez guilty on all charges on July 16. The charges included fraud, bribery, acting as a foreign agent and obstruction.”

    BLM does not support cameltoe
    FTA
    Cosmic justice sometimes comes with a dose of irony.

    Black Lives Matter, the insidious Marxist organization Democrats used to foment violence during the race-mongering madness of 2020, has issued a public objection to party leaders’ swift coronation of Vice President Kamala Harris as their 2024 presidential nominee.

    “Following the primary where millions of black voters weighed in, after one poor debate performance, the DNC Party elites and billionaire donors bullied Joe Biden out of the race,” BLM said in a statement to Reuters.

    Sunday on the social media platform X, President Joe Biden announced that he would withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.

    The announcement came under unusual and perhaps suspicious circumstances. Since his dreadful debate performance on June 27, Biden had faced mounting pressure to quit the race from fellow Democrats. He had refused.

    Announcing the decision on X, where one might reasonably doubt that the octogenarian president has ever posted on his own behalf, only heightened suspicions of a Democratic Party coup.

    For the past two days, Democrats — including Biden himself in a dubious endorsement made via speaker phone — have rallied around Harris. Still, nothing about the vice president’s sudden elevation has felt organic.

    Notwithstanding these strange developments, Democrats have clearly tried to depict their party as united behind Harris.

    BLM’s public objection, therefore, constitutes the first major internal demand that Democrats pump the brakes on the Harris 2024 train.

    “We call for the Rules Committee to create a process that allows for public participation in the nomination process, not just a nomination by party delegates,” the BLM statement read.

    Indeed, it appears that Democrats — the so-called “party of democracy” — have failed to pull the proverbial wool over BLM’s eyes.

    “The current political landscape is unprecedented, with President Biden stepping aside in a manner never seen before. This moment calls for decisive action to protect the integrity of our democracy and the voices of black voters,” the statement said.

    To its credit, BLM called out party leaders’ apparent coup against Biden.

    “Now, Democratic Party elites and billionaire donors are attempting to manipulate black voters by anointing Kamala Harris and an unknown vice president as the new Democratic ticket without a primary vote by the public,” the statement continued.

    Also to its credit, BLM appeared unmoved by the argument that race and gender should take precedence over other factors.

    “We have no idea where Kamala Harris stands on the issues, now that she has assumed Joe Biden’s place, and we have no idea of the record of her potential vice president because we don’t even know who it is yet,” the statement read.

    In a clip from five years ago, Kamala Harris told CNN’s Jake Tapper that she supports universal healthcare, including Medicare for illegals!

    As Border Czar, Kamala allowed 10 million+ illegals to invade America and she would ensure they all get free stuff at taxpayers’ expense.

    “Where is Joe Biden? The system scrambles for a new puppet front man”

    GREG REESE, JUL 23, 2024

    “Joe Biden hasn’t been seen since last Wednesday in Las Vegas, four days after the assassination attempt on president Trump.

    The signature on his memo announcing that he is dropping out of the 2024 election has been proven to be a forgery. And according to the Artificial Intelligence voice app, ElevenLabs, the recent alleged phone call from Biden was created using the app.

    But Joe Biden has been missing in action for years. By most accounts, there has been at least three fake Joe Bidens on camera since his election. We have seen images that show Joe Biden with different ear lobes, which would be impossible if it were all the same person. We have seen videos that show what appears to be a rubber mask. With a rubbery chin.

    In the early nineties, former head of disguise for the CIA wore a mask as she briefed George H.W. Bush in the White House about the latest disguise technology. She fooled him while sitting at his desk.

    “I was a little paranoid. I'd never worn one of these masks before in public. And you get nervous. Nobody paid any attention, of course, so I relaxed. We went into the Oval Office, so I showed him some photographs of disguises we had done for him when he was chief of disguise. I said, you might remember these. He did, I said, so I'm here to show you the next level. He said, so show me. I said, well, I'm wearing it and I'll take it off and show it to you. And he said, no, no, no, no, don't take it off. And he got up. He came out, walked and he looked behind me. He's checking it out. He went back, sat down. He said, take it off. So I peeled off my face.” ~ Jonna Mendez (former CIA chief of disguise)

    This forty year technology was classified until a few years ago.

    “And this is the only photograph I ever got. So I'm sitting in front of the president's desk with my hand in the air, holding the mask, showing it to him. And they airbrushed it out. So the picture in my library, I don't know what you would think I'm doing.” ~ Jonna Mendez (former CIA chief of disguise)

    “They airbrushed the mask out?” ~ Patrick Bet-David

    “Yeah. It was classified.” Jonna Mendez (former CIA chief of disguise) “I mean, I've seen the picture…” ~ Patrick Bet-David

    “Well you're seeing the recent pictures because now we can talk about masks. A year ago, I could not tell you this story.” ~ Jonna Mendez (former CIA chief of disguise)

    “And why can you say it now?” ~ Patrick Bet-David

    “Because they have allowed it now. Which to me, you know, what does that mean? Sources and methods are classified. This evidently is no longer classified. Perhaps they're not using these anymore. Or maybe they've gotten so good that what I'm saying has nothing to do with the new ones. I think that's more like it.” ~ Jonna Mendez (former CIA chief of disguise)

    “Let me ask you, how many times you guys made masks for presidents to distract the audience, like, are their duplicates out there as well? that we don't know about? Or we can't know the answer to that question?” ~ Patrick Bet-David

    “Saddam had all these. Is that what you're talking about? We have a picture of Saddam in a boat on on the Bosphorus or something, with his 26 doubles. They're all paddling. It's like 26 Saddams. They all look exactly alike. It's brilliant.” ~ Jonna Mendez (former CIA chief of disguise)

    “So We've never done that? ~ Patrick Bet-David

    “No. There's a long, great history of presidents doing that. But I don't know that we've ever done that.” ~ Jonna Mendez (former CIA chief of disguise)

    While many are making a fuss about a missing US president and wondering who’s running the country, US presidents have been missing for decades. All we’ve had in the White House for our entire lifetime is a puppet front man for the military industrial complex and the big bank bureaucrats who have turned America into Murder Incorporated. The forces running this country are still in charge, they are just looking for a new puppet to fool the masses into thinking America is the land of the free.”

    Looking forward to welcoming Bibi Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday.

    During my first term, we had Peace and Stability in the Region, even signing the historic Abraham Accords

    – And we will have it again.

    Just as I have said in discussions with President Zelensky and other World Leaders in recent weeks, my PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH Agenda will demonstrate to the World that these horrible, deadly Wars, and violent Conflicts must end. Millions are dying, and Kamala Harris is in no way capable of stopping

  9. Well, I can’t get an inhaler w/o going in for an appointment….sigh….I have to decide whether it’s worth it. I was talking to my buddy, Perry, at the Norfolk clinic and said to him, “TBH, I simply don’t trust anyone in the medical community any more.” His reply: “Yeah, I don’t blame you.” But he’s just a tech and has no control over anything.

      1. I’ve had one for 6-7 years; one of the many doctors I saw sent it to me because of my smoking. They actually sent me 4 of them and I gave 3 to Bren/Kal when they were here so I’ve been using the one off & on since then. As you can see, I don’t use it often, only once in a great while when I can’t catch my breath, usually at night when I’m lying down. The heavy humidity the last few days has affected my breathing a little bit and I used the last of the one I had. I tried to recall when I got it but couldn’t then looked at the Exp date = 2022. Uh, yeah, time to re-up, I think! LOL

              1. Cool! I’ll bet it will work fine since I rarely need it. I’ve always recognized that I’ve been very lucky to have smoked for so long w/o having serious lung/breathing issues.

  13. Just The News: “Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles on Tuesday introduced articles of impeachment against Vice President Kamala Harris, according to Politico’s Olivia Beavers.

    The articles accused Harris of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” saying that she “has willfully and systemically refused to uphold Federal immigration laws, in that: In her conduct of the Office of Vice President of the United States, Kamala Devi Harris… has willfully prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice.”

    They further claim Harris has “demonstrated extraordinary incompetence in the execution of her duties.”

    Ogles’s articles come days after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection. Harris has since emerged as the likely Democratic nominee.”

    BREAKING: A massive scandal has emerged from the donations ActBlue received on the day Joe Biden dropped out; reports indicate that $20 million from Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss was broken down into over 1.6 million donations across 400,000 donors Hansjörg Wyss is looked at as George Soros’ successor when it comes to pouring money into American politics These donations are called smurfing, which happens when names of innocent small donors (usually elderly) are used to funnel money into political campaigns (typically Democratic). James O’Keefe and OMG Media have previously discovered millions in questionable donations on ActBlue Think of ballot trafficking but with campaign donations. Source:
