Flamingo Tongue Snail

Nature 4 Minutes

These snails are known for their strikingly beautiful shells, which are covered in bright pink and orange spots that resemble the feathers of a flamingo. Despite their small size, flamingo tongues are an important part of the marine ecosystem, serving as both predators and prey for a variety of other sea creatures.

The Flamingo Tongue Snail (Cyphoma gibbosum) is a species of marine gastropod mollusk in the family Ovulidae. They are found in the western Atlantic Ocean, from Florida to Brazil, and throughout the Caribbean Sea. These snails are named for their distinctive, brightly colored shells, which are covered in a pattern of black spots and stripes on a white or cream background. The spots and stripes resemble the feathers of a flamingo, hence the name “flamingo tongue.”

Flamingo Tongue Snails are relatively small, growing to a maximum length of about 3 centimeters. They are herbivores, feeding primarily on gorgonian corals. The snails use their radula, a ribbon-like structure covered in tiny teeth, to scrape algae and other organic material from the surface of the coral. One unique aspect of the Flamingo Tongue Snail is that the bright coloration of its shell is not actually part of the shell itself. Rather, the snail’s shell is covered in a thin layer of tissue that is brightly colored. This tissue is called the mantle, and it is responsible for secreting the calcium carbonate that makes up the shell.

Physical Characteristics

Flamingo tongues are small, brightly colored sea snails that are found in tropical waters. They are known for their distinctive orange, pink, and yellow coloring, which is often accented by black markings. These markings vary in shape and size, and can be found on both the soft tissue and the shell of the snail. Flamingo tongues are relatively small, with an average size of around 2.5 centimeters in length. They have a foot that is used for movement, as well as a shell that protects their soft tissue. The shell is typically white in color and has a smooth, glossy appearance.

One of the most striking features of the flamingo tongue is its eyes. They are large and located at the base of the tentacles, which are used for sensing the environment. The eyes are black and have a distinctive shape that is similar to that of a football. The soft tissue of the flamingo tongue is also brightly colored, with a range of orange, pink, and yellow hues. This tissue is used for feeding, and is covered in small, hair-like structures called cilia that help to move food particles towards the mouth.

Habitat and Distribution

Flamingo Tongues are found in the Western Atlantic Ocean, particularly in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. They are commonly found on coral reefs, especially in shallow fore reef habitats. They occupy a wide range of tropical habitats, including areas in South America and Brazil. These snails are known to have a preference for gorgonian corals as their host. They are often found on the branches of these corals, where they feed on the tissue. Studies show that they have a high abundance and distribution in these areas.

The distribution patterns of Flamingo Tongues are affected by a number of factors, including the availability of food and the presence of predators. They exhibit density aggregation behaviors, which means that they tend to cluster in areas where food is abundant.

In North Carolina, Flamingo Tongues are relatively rare, but they have been found in small numbers in the southern part of the state. Overall, their distribution is limited to the tropical waters of the Western Atlantic, where they are an important part of the coral reef ecosystem.

Diet and Feeding Habits

Flamingo tongue snails (Cyphoma gibbosum) are carnivorous and feed on a variety of organisms found in their habitat. They are known to feed on soft corals, sea fans, and gorgonian corals. The snails use their radula, a ribbon-like structure in their mouth, to scrape and tear off pieces of the coral’s tissue. They also feed on algae and plankton, as well as small crustaceans like shrimp.

The snails are known for their bright coloration, which serves as a warning to potential predators that they are toxic. The snails obtain this toxicity by feeding on gorgonian corals that contain toxic compounds. These compounds are stored in the snail’s mantle tissue, making them unpalatable to predators. Flamingo tongue snails have a unique feeding behavior where they preferentially feed on the tips of the coral branches. This behavior is thought to be an adaptation to reduce the risk of damage to the coral colony. The snails are also known to aggregate in high densities on certain coral species, which can result in significant damage to the coral colony.

Reproduction and Lifespan

Flamingo tongues are hermaphroditic, which means they have both male and female reproductive organs. However, they cannot fertilize themselves and require a mate to reproduce. During breeding season, flamingo tongues lay their eggs on the underside of gorgonian coral branches. The eggs are small and white and take around two weeks to hatch.

Flamingo tongues have a relatively short lifespan of around two to three years. However, they reach sexual maturity at a young age, around six months old. This allows them to breed multiple times during their short lifespan.

The young flamingo chicks are born with a transparent shell, which they break open with a specialized egg tooth on their beak. The chicks are born with a greyish color and gradually develop their distinctive pink coloration over time. The chicks are cared for by both parents and are fed regurgitated food until they are old enough to feed themselves.

    1. Morning, Pat! Oh, no! Snow?!? Yuck! None here, thankfully – it’s cold @ 23 but clear skies. These snails in no way, shape or form resemble Flamingoes! Must be the “eye of the beholder” kind of deal. No sign of Wheezer yet. One way or the other, I’m determined to get my truck back today – it’s been a full week and it’s time. I can take it back if he finds some tires for me or I’ll go to WM and get the 2 worst tires replaced. I’ve got enough on my CC for that at least.

    Here’s why I like Trump’s new AG pick Pam Bondi

    Not only is she experienced, but I look at where someone stands during times of difficulty

    When Trump was being impeached for the perfect Ukraine phone call, Pam was brought in to defend him as legal counsel

    Not only was that a courageous move by her, but she also won the case

    When it was unpopular to stand with Trump, Pam stood strongly beside him

    She’ll make a great US Attorney General

    The embassy in the British capital, built in 2018 near the Thames River, is considered one of the most modern and secure diplomatic compounds in the world and faced no known further threats, officials said.

    “We can confirm that the ‘loud bang’ reported in the area a short time ago was a controlled explosion carried out by officers,” London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement posted on its official X account. 

    “Cordons are in place in the area as a precaution while officers investigate a suspect package,” it added. The embassy said on X that authorities had closed a road near the building out of “an abundance of caution.”

    “Trump’s Potential New AG: Pam Bondi”

    Pepe Lives Matter, Nov 21, 2024

    EXCERPT: “Pam Bondi knows where the bodies are buried and she will be in a position to do major damage as AG. Here are some of her best moments.

    Pam Bondi expertly laid out how Joe and Hunter Biden were using a Ukranian Energy company as a money laundering pay-for-play scheme while Joe was Vice President. Not only this but he had Hunter Biden help siphon money out of the CCP while in China. Joe Biden was the point man in Iraq during his VP tenure and set up business deals in that exact country through his close family members. All these crimes can be found for anyone to see on Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell.

    “As a career prosecutor and former attorney general of Florida, I fought corruption, and I know what it looks like, whether it’s done by people wearing pin striped suits or orange jumpsuits. At the Democrats convention, we were told to look at Joe Biden as the model of integrity, but when you look at his forty seven year career in politics, the people who benefited are his family members, not the American people. Let’s take a closer look. We all know about Joe’s son Hunter Biden, a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch, who put hunter on the board of his gas company, even though he had no experience in Ukraine, or in the energy sector.

    None, yet he was paid millions to do nothing. He only had one qualification that mattered. He was the son of the man in charge of distributing US aid to Ukraine. And recently reported information revealed that a few months after Hunter Biden joined that corrupt company’s board, the Obama Biden State Department began doing business with the home. Even when it remained under investigation for corruption.

    And it gets worse. That very same company was being investigated by a Ukrainian prosecutor. Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine unless that same prosecutor was fired. And then he was fired. Hunter only resigned from that board, just before his dad announced his campaign for president.

    Now let’s talk about China. Fact. Joe Biden flew to China on Air Force Two with Hunter along for the ride. They said he was just there as a family member but we know that’s untrue. In Beijing, Hunter didn’t just go sightseeing. He had meetings with his Chinese bank partners. Hunter even arranged for his dad to meet with one of the partners. Ten days later, those Chinese communist bankers approved millions to go to Hunter’s firm. And those bankers worked for the Chinese Communist Party. Which oppresses their people, cheated American workers for decades, and covered up a deadly virus. To this day, Hunter controls a ten percent stake in that firm.

    And Joe Biden’s done more than look the other way on China. He said, the Chinese aren’t our competition. Come on man They’re not bad folks… Come on Joe. Talk to the folks in middle America. Who lost countless jobs to China while your son was getting rich with them.

    But there’s more. Fact. There are the numerous press reports that have shown other close Biden family members benefited from Joe’s forty seven year political career. Joe Biden was the point person on Iraq. The president of a construction firm met with Biden’s team in the White House and then who did they hire to build thousands of houses in Iraq? Joe Biden’s close family member, who you guessed it had no experience in the industry, and no experience in Iraq. A company official bragged that it helps to have a family member of the vice president and his partner…The family member put it more bluntly by saying there’s a line of seven forty sevens filled with cash, ready to invest…

    Now let’s follow the money down south. Again as reported in the press yet another close family member of Joe’s, set his sights on Costa Rica and Jamaica, where millions of dollars flowed from the Obama Biden Administration in taxpayer back loans to projects linked to? Yes that same family member. These aren’t isolated incidents. It is a deliberate pattern of conduct… And that’s just what he did as vice president. Imagine what he’d do as President.”

    Click Picture for Video….

    Pam Bondi worked tirelessly to combat human trafficking including working with Ken Paxton and other AGs to fight the heinous crime rampant in America. This aligns with Donald Trump’s values as he himself has worked to stop this evil including signing Executive Order 13818 which blocked the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption. She also aided Sheriff Grady, known in Florida for his legendary human trafficking busts….”

    Just The News: “Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., introduced a measure that would abolish the Department of Education, amid President-elect Donald Trump’s promise to send education back to the states. The legislation is titled “Returning Education to Our States Act,” according to Fox News. 

    “The federal Department of Education has never educated a single student, and it’s long past time to end this bureaucratic Department that causes more harm than good,” Rounds told the outlet. “We all know local control is best when it comes to education.”

    He added that local school boards and local education departments “know best” for educating students in their area. 

    Rounds said that Trump shares his vision to eliminate the department and can’t wait to work with the president-elect. “This legislation is a roadmap to eliminating the federal Department of Education by practically rehoming these federal programs in the departments where they belong, which will be critical as we move into next year,” he said.”

  16. I think he should just step up and release it himself – take the wind out of their sails completely!!!

    Just The News: “House Democrats are still planning to pursue the release of the House Ethics Committee report on former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., despite his decision Thursday to remove his name from consideration for U.S. attorney general under President-elect Trump’s incoming administration. 

    “While I welcome the news that Matt Gaetz is withdrawing from consideration for Attorney General, it remains important that the Gaetz report be made available to the American people,” said Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., in a statement.

    On Wednesday, Casten introduced a privileged resolution to force a vote in the House on releasing the report, which sets the stage for a vote when lawmakers return from their Thanksgiving break.

    Two women accusing Gaetz of paying for sexual favors testified before the House Ethics Committee. Their attorney said they support the release of the report but they won’t testify publicly.

    Gaetz withdrew from consideration for attorney general on Thursday. Trump issued a statement reacting to his decision.

    “I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect,” Trump said. “Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!”

  17. EXCERPTS: “It’s looking like Democrats are running scared at the idea of Pam Bondi at the helm of the Department of Justice, judging by a segment that aired Thursday on MSNBC. One guest, Jason Johnson, a political science professor at Morgan State University, said Bondi is both “competent” and “dangerous.”

    https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/1859751006751555907

    Transcript of Johnson’s comments:

    Pam Bondi is what we should all fear cuz she’s competent. We may not agree with her ideologically, but she actually knows how to do this job. So, if anyone on the Democratic side or anyone, or anyone who cared about liberty and justice was thinking “Well maybe Matt Gaetz will screw this up and that will give us some time” — well, no.

    Pam Bondi knows what she’s doing. She knows what she’s doing about immigration. Remember, Florida has been one of those states that has been very aggressive about migrants and deportation and moving people to different states. And everything else like that. Florida has enacted all sorts of rules and laws to curtail students and what they can do on campuses, and finding legal justifications for manipulating education money. 

    She is a dangerous and effective pick. And that’s, frankly, worse than what we would have gotten with Matt Gaetz, even with the deplorable moral background he has.

    This is some rare honesty going out on MSNBC’s airwaves. Pam Bondi is a blockbuster pick by Trump and it’s clear that Democrats are gobsmacked and rushing to figure out just how to handle a strong woman being nominated for such an important role.

    These are just the initial reactions of the left, of course, and you can bet the attacks will get uglier as the confirmation process goes along. You see, Pam Bondi is the kind of woman that drives Democrats batty — she’s smart, she’s pretty, she’s driven, she gets results and she doesn’t suffer fools gladly. And, boy, has the left been acting like fools for a long time now. That’s why they’re running scare right over her nomination.

    The question must be asked: What are they so afraid of? If they haven’t done anything wrong or illegal, then there’s really nothing to fear from Pam Bondi. Unlike her Democrat counterparts, she’s not likely to engage in baseless, partisan witch hunts against her opponents. So, what’s behind the fear?….”

      After sleeping on it and talking to Sally’s Dad this morning…

      “Some at QTH reminded us about her excellent defense work for Trump – at his impeachment trial – and I can’t remember if she stepped in to aid the defense of Kavanaugh against the Blasey-Ford crap or his other SCOTUS nominees. 

      She may have some baggage and dirt, she’s been in politics a long time.

      Her glamorous side may be used to advantage. I saw her stop traffic one time in Tallahassee, dressed in heels and a black winter coat with black fur trim.

      She’s 59 years old now and may have learned and wised up a lot in all these years.

      Trump has appointed some really sharp assistant director AGs to help her.”

      Filly says: ” I also have my own qualms about Bondi – remember the Promise Program instituted in the schools around the country? As FL AG, she signed off on that in FL….remember Trayvon?”

      SD reminds us of that when Bondi was AG of FL – she allowed her campaign manager Angela Corey and Crump to persecute Zimmerman for Trayvon Martin’s death.

      With Bondi – there are plusses and minuses. Someone else said she can clean up the DOJ with the help of her fellow appointees – and Matt Gaetz and others can lead Special Counsel investigationss – the MAGA versions of Mueller – taking down the perpetrators of election fraud, pandemic crimes against humanity, political fraud, insider trading, etc.

    “….Training eagles presents a stark set of challenges for new falconers that go beyond what is typically encountered with smaller raptors:

    The very aspect of patience is amplified with eagles, as progress can be slow, and setbacks are common, which may lead to frustration and a potentially unsafe environment for both the falconer and the bird:

    1 – An eagle’s physical strength and imposing size can be overwhelming, making it difficult for beginners to manage and train them effectively. The level of assertiveness and confidence required to command an eagle’s respect is considerable, and without it, the risk of losing control of the bird increases.

    2 – Eagles possess a strong instinctual drive and a more complex set of behaviours compared to many other birds used in falconry, necessitating a deeper behavioural insight and finesse in training techniques.

    3 – An eagle’s training regimen is a prolonged and demanding commitment, requiring a consistent investment of time to foster trust and ensure responsiveness.

    4 – The very aspect of patience is amplified with eagles, as progress can be slow, and setbacks are common, which may lead to frustration and a potentially unsafe environment for both the falconer and the bird…..

  19. NF: GO ARMY!!!!

    EXCERPT: “In roughly three weeks, the annual college football tradition that interests even those who are not ardent college football fans will be carried out – The Army vs. Navy football game. This matchup is held after the conclusion of the regular season for most teams, and even while over the years the two squads are generally not as competitive as the top schools, it is such a tradition that it draws fan interest nationwide.

    First meeting in 1890, the two military branches will be facing off for the 125th time as they have held this contest annually since 1930, and for a time, both were dominant in the game. In 1944 and 1945, the schools met as they were ranked #1 and #2 in the nation. This year sees a change, as Navy made it into the top-25 early in the year, and currently, Army is undefeated and ranked the highest it has been in 65 years, at #18 in the AP rankings. 

    Regardless of the teams’ positioning, people are drawn to the rich tradition and the meaningful nature of the contest; as it is said, it is the only game where all the players on the field are willing to die for the fans in the stands. For this reason, the game has rarely been held in either of the teams’ stadiums; the interest is so high that larger capacity, neutral sites are used, this year’s battle being held at Northwest stadium in Landover, Maryland.  

    One other tradition that has been in play involves both teams coming up with unique uniform designs for the big matchup. Both service academies traditionally alter their normal attire to pay tribute to some meaningful aspect of their history. This year’s selections are both sharp presentations and historically significant.

    NAVY

    For the 2024 contest, the Naval Academy is honoring The Jolly Rogers, the most lethal air squadron in Navy aviation. First formed in 1943, the Skull and Crossbones registered the most confirmed air combat kills in WW2, and have been the elite lethal winged division since. The first time The Bones were honored in this game was on the helmets in 1962, with Roger Stabach at quarterback. This year, that elite group gets a full uniform recognition.

    ARMY

    The Black Knights will be honoring the 101st Airborne Division and the valiant overmatched victory during the Battle of the Bulge, where the Screaming Eagles held the city of Bastogne, Belgium, against a massive German offensive, almost 80 years ago.

    The black uniforms and helmet are dusted in white to replicate the dark, snowy conditions in which they fought for weeks. The helmet bears one of the four playing card suits, which were used to designate the paratrooper divisions employed in Europe during the war.

There are some stories I write to bring you the news; there are others that affect me emotionally. This is one of those.

    It’s wrong on every level.

    On Thursday, his defense called an expert forensic pathologist to the witness stand, and he promptly destroyed George Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case:

    “The chokehold did not cause the death,” Dr. Satish Chundru testified.

    Dueling Experts:

    Daniel Penny’s chokehold on Jordan Neely was not what killed him, a forensic pathologist testified today. Dr. Satish Chundru disputed a New York City medical examiner’s determination that Daniel Penny’s chokehold killed Neely.

    Penny’s defense says that he was trying only to restrain Neely, not to kill him. Chundru told jurors that Neely’s medical records and bystander video don’t show telltale signs of known types of fatal chokeholds.

    Among the discrepancies: The location and extent of bruising on Neely’s neck, and the small amount of petechiae — small red spots caused by subsurface bleeding — on his eyelids.

    “In your opinion, did Mr. Penny choke Mr. Neely to death?” defense lawyer Steven Raiser asked.

    “No,” replied Chundru, who has worked as a medical examiner for county governments in Florida and Texas. He said Neely died from “the combined effects” of synthetic marijuana, schizophrenia, his struggle and restraint, and a blood condition that can lead to fatal complications during exertion.

    “The chokehold did not cause death,” the pathologist said. Chundru directly contradicted the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office, who blamed Penny for Neely’s death:….”

    We’re going to have some quick fun today. 

    There’s been an ongoing joke since the beginning of Donald Trump’s first term in office. It was popular with both his detractors and supporters alike, for different reasons. Whenever something went awry or got a little weird with his administration, people would say that it was all part of a plan, that Trump was playing “4-D chess” and outsmarting everyone. 

    Those of us who liked Trump never really discounted the possibility, but mostly we liked saying it because it triggered the haters. Yeah, everything triggers them, but some triggers are more fun than others. 

    We hit the first hiccup of the Trump 47 transition process, which Chris wrote about yesterday:

    Former congressman Matt Gaetz announced on X that he will no longer seek the nomination for attorney general.

    One of Donald Trump’s more controversial picks for his upcoming cabinet has withdrawn his name from consideration….”

    “….Given Pam Bondi’s close personal and professional relationship with Donald Trump, why wasn’t she his first choice? Since we’re having fun with the 4-D chess idea, we have to wonder if the plan always was to eventually have her be the nominee. Perhaps nominating Gaetz first was merely a way to get the Dems so worked up that they’d be more amenable to Bondi once he bowed out.

    That’s how this game works, isn’t it? Again, this is just a lot of spitballin’ here. Like I said at the top, we’re just having some quick fun.

    “But Kruiser,” some of you are saying, “why would Gaetz resign from Congress if that was the plan?” I hear that there will be an open Senate seat in Florida once Trump’s next Secretary of State is confirmed. 

    Have a great weekend, everyone.”

    By: Breccan F. Thies, November 22, 2024

    GOP Sen. Roger Marshall speaking during a panel.

    EXCERPT: “The Safeguarding The Overall Protection of Minors (STOP) Act would reportedly put heavy fines on doctors who perform transgender procedures on minors. Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., hosted a panel on Wednesday with Republican lawmakers and conservatives, discussing legislative plans to stop the mutilation of children by the American medical establishment through transgender surgeries and procedures.

    The legislation discussed included a bill officially legally defining “male” and “female” to reflect biological reality and an eventual bill prohibiting doctors from performing harmful medical procedures on children. During the discussion, Marshall also expressed that doctors who castrate and mutilate children with irreversible drugs and surgeries should have their medical licenses taken away.

    Terry Schilling, president of the conservative advocacy group American Principles Project and member of the panel, cited leaked files from the World Professional Association of Transgender Health that revealed medical professionals worldwide conducted transgender procedures on minors while knowing they were scientifically unsubstantiated and without properly disclosing the risks.

    He asked Marshall — who has over two decades of experience as an OB-GYN — how he would respond if he was running a practice where the doctors were engaging in “such detrimental conduct.” “[W]hat’s your message to the medical community?” Schilling also asked.

    “I’m almost speechless,” Marshall answered. “I think, first of all, the state board would take away their license, for starters. You think about what people are doing here again, it’s irreversible. Oftentimes, they’re doing things without parental permission. I think they would lose their ability to practice in that particular facility as well….”

  23. NF: We need more of this!!!

    EXCERPT: “On Nov. 18, Nashville News Channel 5 reporter Phil Williams delivered a breathless “exclusive investigation” into the supposed right-wing radicals targeting rural Jackson County, Tennessee, for a takeover. He claimed, “their views are not so different from the ideas espoused by the neo-Nazis and other white supremacists seen marching down Nashville streets in the past year.”

    His camera crew, his drone, and even a news helicopter descended on the tiny town of Gainesboro so Phil could “speak truth to power,” as he describes his mission in his X bio. As a native Tennessean, former Nashville police officer, long-time resident of the area, and friend to several of these so-called radicals, I thought I’d offer my perspective.Conservative Americans Moving to Conservative Towns

    At the center of Williams’ article are two podcasters who decided to move to Jackson County and bought land with the Highland Rim Project, an initiative led by my friend Josh Abbotoy and his real estate company RidgeRunner. RidgeRunner’s philosophy isn’t some secret, and a quick glance at their website would’ve saved Williams months of trouble in his quest to uncover their intentions.

    They aim to conserve what’s good, revitalize what’s distressed, and innovate toward a better future in small towns and rural areas of Appalachia. They connect the millions of Americans fed up with the chaos, danger, and insanity of big cities and blue states to desirable locations elsewhere. It has nothing to do with white supremacy.

    While Phil thinks he’s found a story in the X feeds of people who’ve chosen the pioneer trail to rural America, he’s right that the big story in America today is about movement. There’s no stopping the Big Sort, just like there’s no stopping growth in and around Nashville, so any journalist should be looking into who’s moving to Tennessee, why, and what it will mean for local communities.

    With so many Americans relocating nationwide, many red-state residents worry that large crowds of new arrivals will result in sudden changes to the established social and political order. “Don’t California my Texas” is the constant cry of those overrun in the Lonestar State. Red states could go purple — even blue — if too many leftists move in, voting for the very things that sent them packing in the first place.Small-Town Classic American Culture

    RidgeRunner views the Big Sort as an opportunity and is leaning into it. RidgeRunner recently announced its plan for an innovative yet traditional community in Gainesboro, Tennessee, a small town close to my home in Cookeville. It’s not just land and houses. RidgeRunner has already recruited four businesses to the area, including one that will bring 150 well-paying manufacturing jobs starting in 2027.

    You won’t hear anything about that in Williams’ piece. Phil is happy to venture out from his blue bubble in Nashville to fearmonger among the good people of Gainesboro, but he doesn’t care about what the job market looks like in Jackson County. The pioneers do. That’s why they’re moving there. That’s why they’re bringing jobs with them.

    They’re attracting good families eager to live peaceful and productive lives in well-governed communities with the traditional American, Christian small-town culture that most Americans enjoyed Americans until quite recently. Unlike other developers looking to carve up the countryside in the name of maximum profit, their project seeks to honor the history, culture, and way of life enjoyed by its native population….”

  24. Hear, hear!!!

    EXCERPT: “A notable American Indian is getting widespread attention in Congress this week — and no, I’m not talking about Elizabeth Warren.

    On Wednesday, Montana Sen. Steve Daines appeared on Fox News’ “America Reports” to discuss his support for legislation authorizing the Washington Commanders to utilize Robert F. Kennedy Stadium in the federal district. The National Football League (NFL) team currently plays its home games at Northwest Stadium, which is located in Landover, Maryland.

    According to the outlet, Daines “decided to support the measure following ‘good faith negotiations’ that the Commanders and the NFL would honor the Blackfeet chief logo that the organization used for decades before switching monikers.”

    The Washington franchise notably ditched its “Redskins” nickname in July 2020 following the death of George Floyd and subsequent Black Lives Matter activism that swept the NFL and other American institutions. Left-wing activists weaponized Floyd’s death to fulfill their decades-long goal of changing the team’s name, which they claimed was “racist” and offensive.

    As noted by Daines, however, the likeness of the Redskins logo was based upon John Two Guns White Calf, a former chief of the Montana-based Blackfeet tribe. Furthermore, the logo was designed by now-deceased Blackfeet Tribal Chairman Blackie Wetzel. The descendants of both men have supported the team’s use of the logo, according to Fox News.

    While previously opposed to the bill permitting the Commanders to utilize RFK Stadium, Daines explained that he changed his position after having “good discussions with the NFL and with the Commanders” to ensure the “logo [will] be used again.”

    “Perhaps revenues going to a foundation that could help Native Americans in sports and so forth. We’re making good progress and, based on the good faith negotiations, I made a decision to support this bill [Tuesday] in the committee,” the Republican senator said….”

  25. RE: Gaetz/Bondi

    Another Take: The chaos we’re seeing ahead of Trump 2.0 is a feature of Game Theory, not a bug, and it always favors the infinite player on the game board.

    If you DON’T believe the dude who told you he had a “secret” with Mike Johnson and Matt Gaetz just days before the election represents that infinite side, I don’t know what to tell you.

    In other words, when it comes to Gaetz withdrawing from the AG nomination (the first of what I would guess will be many rug pulls when it comes to these appointments,) focus less on the Actual and more on what effects the Narrative is visiting on the Collective American Mind.

    Is Gaetz’ replacement likely to be better or worse for the entrenched Uniparty Establishment?

    Are ANY of these appointments going to have Actual power projection, or are we watching a series of cognitive cyphers inserted into the War of Stories to garner full public mandate for top-down systemic reform through decentralization?

  26. MEGA Take: Holy 5D chess, Batman.

    I’m not just saying that to be a shill. This baggage surrounding Matt Gaetz—which may or may not be true—has some real thorns that I think are about to prick the puppet masters pulling the strings.

    There is a fantastic X thread compiled by @Villagecrazylady that covers the whole saga, but I’ll try to capture it all here.

    A Florida tax collector by the name of Joel Greenberg was engaged in just about every crime imaginable, including charging over $70,000 on prostitutes to his government credit card. One of these girls was a 17 year old minor who had claimed to be an adult in her advertisements. When Greenberg later found out she was a minor, he used his access to government machines to produce a fake drivers license for her—as well as several for himself—and continued to see her.

    Greenberg claims that the girl told him about her other exploits, and among these was an alleged encounter with Matt Gaetz.

    In 2019, rumors were circulating that there was a federal investigation underway against Greenberg concerning a crypto scam that he was running, inspiring local music teacher Brian Beute to challenge him in the Republican primary. Feeling threatened, Greenberg became possessed with the desire to not only defeat Beute, but to completely destroy his life, and one of the many actions he took was to pen several letters to the school where Beute worked claiming that he was molesting students.

    These letters were turned over to the sheriff’s office, who immediately found Greenberg’s fingerprints and DNA on them. He was arrested in June 2020 by the DOJ and charged with stalking. His phone was confiscated, and that was when the feds realized that this tax collector was a hardcore criminal, guilty of embezzlement, drugs, prostitution, pedophilia, identity theft, wire fraud, and crypto market manipulation, to name a few.

    In August 2020 the DOJ charged Joel Greenberg with sex trafficking of a minor, identify theft and production of false identification documents, among other things.

    Sometime during the summer of 2020, Greenberg’s lawyer approaches [Bill Barr’s] DOJ and offers evidence that a congressman (Gaetz) had slept with a minor, in exchange for clemency. A secret investigation was allegedly opened.

    In March 2021, Gaetz appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight, and Tucker gave him the floor to explain the allegations from the New York Times that he had sex with a minor. Gaetz told a story that sounded so crazy that even Tucker didn’t appear to believe him, yet in hindsight, it appears that he was telling the truth.

    Gaetz claimed that his father, Don Gaetz, had been extorted (or attempted extortion) by a former federal prosecutor named David McGee to the tune of $25 million. Gaetz claimed that his father wore a wire during his meetings with McGee, as part of a sting operation.

    McGee had been recruited by an Air Force intelligence officer named Bob Kent, who was trying to rescue a retired FBI agent, Bob Levinson, who had been contracted by the CIA to run a covert-op unit in Iran—where he was captured in 2007 and held hostage. He had long been presumed dead, but Kent apparently got proof of life, and contracted with Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to pay for the rescue mission ($20 million) in exchange for expedited green cards for his family.

    McGee was brought in because he knew both Levinson and Deripaska, having worked in the Organized Crimes Task Force at the DOJ, and Levinson having specialized in Russian money-laundering at the FBI. (See where this is going?) Oh, and the FBI point man on the whole deal was none other than Andrew McCabe.

    Here’s where things get real interesting for long-time News Brief readers:

    Once Russia’s richest man, in 2000 Deripaska formed an aluminum company called Rusal. In 2007, he merged that company with the aluminum division from Glencore—yes, the same Swiss company that has been so heavily featured in corruption articles here on the Brief.

    So this Levinson rescue operation is happening during Obama’s first term. But on the eve of its execution, the Clinton State Department got spooked over something and called the whole thing off. Levinson remained a hostage (later presumed dead) until Bob Kent realized he was still alive in 2021 and went to McGee with the idea of extorting Matt Gaetz’s father to finance the rescue operation.

    So McGee told Don Gaetz—who had no idea or reason to believe that his son was even under investigation for anything—that if he gave them $25 million to pay for Levinson’s rescue operation, President Joe Biden would pardon Matt Gaetz of any potential crimes related to the investigations open against him. (Which he, of course, didn’t even know about.)

    So that’s where all of this hubbub aloo about sex with a 17 year old girl originates. As far as I can tell, these allegations come from a hardcore criminal who did appear to know Gaetz—with pictures together posted on social media— but it’s unclear what supporting evidence he has to substantiate it.

    But to add one final layer of crazy to this insane story, enter Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip series.

    Scott came forward in September 2021—after a federal grand jury indicted David McGee for attempting to extort Don Gaetz—and posted screenshots of a text conversation between himself and Jake Novak, the broadcast media director of the Consulate General of Israel in New York. (McGee was later convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.)

    Scott explained that he and Novak had a relationship because Novak often would try to get pro-Israel propaganda inserted into the Dilbert comics.

    “People with connections to Israel had a high interest in me during the Trump days. Presumably to influence me,” Adams told POLITICO via text message. “Jake and I shared an interest in the mechanics of persuasion, and in interesting business/political stories in general. Most often the stuff with a persuasion or Israel angle. That was our initial connection … people often tell me their scoops before they hit the news just to build credibility. Might have been that.”

    Novak texted Scott and tried to convince him that Gaetz was guilty, based on sources he had inside the investigation.

    To Scott’s credit, he pushed back on Novak, telling him that none of it seemed credible, and that Gaetz’s allegations of extortion seemed very credible, and that they were backed by documents. Novak then tried to convince Scott that the documents do not prove extortion—which Scott refuted (based). The Israeli government was forced to distance itself from Novak, though it didn’t fire or discipline him.

    So now I must ask, considering that Matt Gaetz is one of the few members of Congress who has never taken any money from the Israel lobby (AIPAC), was this entire scheme with the 17 year old (regardless of whether or not it is true) part of an elaborate plot to compromise Matt Gaetz and bring him under the control of the Israeli oligarchy? A la Jeffery Epstein?

    Did Trump appoint Matt Gaetz as bait, both to draw out the AIPAC-aligned traitors in the Senate, but also to bring this story to the public’s attention, so we could understand how our government officials are compromised and controlled by foreign cartels?

    Scaramucci Model?

    And now we have shills accusing Pam Bondi of being compromised by Qatar? You mean the same Qatar that recently met with President Trump, expelled Hamas leadership from Doha, and is now aligning itself firmly with the Sovereign Alliance? (Please pull on that thread. Thank you.)

    And what of Matt Gaetz? He’s already resigned from Congress to be Attorney General. What about Marco Rubio’s seat in the Senate?

    If I can’t have Senator Hulk Hogan— which I still desperately want— I will absolutely take Punished Matt Gaetz with laser eyes and a massive chip on his shoulder. Revenge Gaetz.

    What if all of these television characters President Trump has selected for his cabinet— which has MAGA up in arms— all have variations of baggage, and the exposure/disclosure of that baggage comes to haunt the puppet masters pulling (or trying to pull) their strings?

    Our Take: Yesterday, we talked about the oped that Musk and Ramaswamy penned in the WSJ, and how their priority is to use executive action and avoid the need for new laws as they roll back regulations and government overreach.

    Today, the legislature has entered the chat and will be working with the DOGE to eliminate legislative barriers to the success of this transformation program. I have no opinion on MTG heading up this endeavor. The endeavor, however, is a logical action in the context of the transformation.

    There is much that can be done focusing on just the executive. But in our Republic, we have three separate but co-equal branches of government. Truly eliminating systemic corruption will require the collaboration and cooperation of all three.

    In a transformation, the critical path to success is the team. It’s getting everyone in the right seat in the boat and rowing in the same direction. With this focus, the transformation program office is positioned to remove obstacles before they become barriers. And from everything I’ve seen so far, the administration knows this and is planning accordingly.

  29. Just The News: “Senior advisor to the Trump campaign and incoming White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino on Friday shot down rumors that the president-elect was considering former Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., to lead the FBI.

    “Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI. It’s not happening — In his own words, ‘I have never even given it a thought.’ Not happening,” Scavino posted on Truth Social.

    Rogers unsuccessfully ran for the Michigan Senate seat in November, losing out to Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich. He emerged as a reported favorite for the FBI director job in recent weeks, though Trump had not discussed him publicly.

    Also in the running for the post is former Trump advisor Kash Patel, who has attracted support online from MAGA stalwarts. Those same figures pointed to Rogers’ support for the intelligence community as evidence he would not enact the president’s agenda.

    Current FBI Director Christopher Wray has drawn Trump’s ire repeatedly.”

  32. Just The News: “In a major legal win for President-elect Donald Trump, a New York judge on Friday permitted him to seek the dismissal of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money case.

    Trump was convicted earlier this year on 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a 2016 payment his then-attorney, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy Daniels. Trump has maintained his innocence and challenged the decision.

    U.S. District Judge Juan Merchan on Friday set a deadline of Dec. 2 for Trump to file a motion to dismiss, Reuters reported.

    He previously canceled a planned late November sentencing for Trump, which has not been rescheduled. Bragg’s office has expressed an openness to delaying the sentencing until after Trump leaves office, but opposes dismissal of the case.”

    (Fox) In a joint announcement Wednesday, the White House and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled the most aggressive multi-pollutant emission standards ever finalized. While the regulations target gas-powered vehicles, they are explicitly designed to push wider nationwide adoption of electric vehicles (EV) and, according to officials, are expected to ensure nearly 70% of all new car sales are zero-emissions within a few years…
