Happy Memorial Day!

 

Trex--Hunter or scavenger?

 

I remember this debate from a few years ago, and for some reason, it keeps popping back up.

Was Tyrannosaurs Rex, the greatest meat eater of all time, an active hunter or scavenger?

Seems pretty obvious to me that it was an active hunter.  Look at the teeth! Granted, it probably stopped off to eat something it found that was dead and not too rotten.  Still, the idea that T-rex was a scavenger is ridiculous. 

T-rex teeth or their crowns, have been found embedded in the bones of other dinosaurs, usually plant-eating herbivores, and the bones have healed.  So, said duckbill was bitten by T-rex, escaped, and the bite healed.  Remember, not every hunt is successful.  Even the Predator did not win every time!

T-rex vs Predator.....

...Now there is a debate we can start!

Invasion

 

On May 11, 2023, hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants began pouring over the US-Mexican border.  I was thinking about putting the poster for "Red Dawn", but this picture seemed a bit better.  

Our government seems more interested in the Russian-Ukrainian and Iraqi-Syrian border than our own border.  Protecting the people is the first job of any government. DC refuses to do its duty.

In 406 AD, several Germanic tribes crossed to frozen Rhine on the last day of the year.  From that point on, the Roman Empire's decline began to take a steeper angle.  When I saw the footage of chaos engulfing Brownsville and El Paso in Texas, and Yuma in Arizona and I thought of Fifth Century Rome.

We are seeing history in action.

It's not the good kind.

As the Chinese cruse goes, "May you live in interesting times."

It is going to get very interesting.
