World's largest crocodile in captivity dies

The world's largest crocodile in captivity has died at a wildlife sanctuary in Australia. Cassius was nearly 5.5m (18ft) long, weighed nearly one tonne and was thought to be at least 110 years old - although no one knew for sure. The huge saltwater crocodile lived in the sanctuary on an island off the coast of Queensland since being caught in Australia's Northern Territory in the 1980s. In 2011, he was awarded the Guinness World Record for the largest crocodile in captivity. Marineland Melanesia Crocodile Habitat said in a post on social media that Cassius was "our beloved mate" and "a cherished member of our family". Cassius had previously lived in the wild,

Barack Obama has entered from stage left to instruct American Jews to return to the Democratic fold in their usual numbers. The video below captures him in Milwaukee this weekend retailing the “very fine people” lie. The high-handed arrogance of this riff is incredible. (X) Obama of course seeks something like a fourth term with the election of Kamala Harris. Michael Lind writes about the project in “The Obama machine.” Subhead: “No matter who wins or loses next week, we can look forward to four more years of Chicago on the Potomac.” Lind’s column makes a valuable contribution to understanding the project.
When Jews suffered the worst massacre since the Holocaust,
I switched from a Mac to a PC. My Mac was seven years old, and I didn’t want to spend two grand on a computer. Most of my applications are subscriptions, so there wasn’t much of a money hit for apps.
Why am I telling you this? I am now buried in garbage ads and clickbait “articles.” Microsoft’s “Edge” browser, it seems, is intent on overloading me with hot takes from Ireland to India. Edge has an endless stream of reminders and a constant stream of headline popups from CNN and MSNBC. I saw one informing me that troops were on alert in the Northwest, ready for election riots.

A teenager accused of killing three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for young children in the United Kingdom has been charged with possessing an al Qaeda training manual and ricin poison.
Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, already faces three murder charges, 10 counts of attempted murder and one count of knife possession, authorities said Tuesday. The new charges were filed under the country's Terrorism Act, police said.
The poison and PDF study, "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The al Qaeda Training Manual," were found during a search of Rudakubana's home, police said. Tests later confirmed the substance found was ricin. The risk of exposure
Hugh Hewitt Takes a Hike ...

…from the Washington Post, that is. First he walked out on the Washington Post Live’s First Look podcast with the absurd Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus this morning (video below). Then, according to the follow-up New York Post story, Hugh quit his gig as a Post columnist.
Hugh was Power Line’s first media friend, from the summer and fall of 2002 in our early days online. He is something of a Renaissance man, superior in every respect to his colleagues in the mainstream media. It understates matters considerably to say that he is an old-fashioned gentleman and scholar.
Today he reached his boiling point.
MISSOULA, Mont. — A Washington state man accused of leading a wildlife trafficking ring on a Native American reservation that killed thousands of eagles and hawks to sell on the black market was sentenced Thursday to nearly four years in prison.
The trafficking ring operated for years on the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwest Montana, exploiting high demand among tribal members for feathers and other bird parts that are used in powwows and sacred ceremonies.
The defendant and others killed at least 118 eagles, 107 hawks and as many as 3,600 birds overall, prosecutors said.
Juvenile golden eagles in particular were targeted because their black and white
The annual UN resolution disapproving of the Cuba embargo came up. And the entire world, or nearly all of it, took a firm stand in favor of mandatory trade with a brutal Communist tyranny.
The UN General Assembly voted 187 – 2 in favor of its pro-Communist resolution urging the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba,”
The 2 were America and Israel. (Moldova, for some reason, abstained.) Every other country, our allies in Europe, even seemingly Ukraine, voted against America.
It’s a truly disgraceful showing.
Making it likely even more disgraceful is that the Marshall Islands and Micronesia voted against America
Few people can explain things like John Stossel can. The man's videos are always a pleasure to watch, and he releases with some regularity, making him a fun follow on social media.
Stossel recently released a video that I feel is something that all people should see, and I don't just mean in America. I really think this video should be viewed before election time because it truly highlights a massive problem the first world is having.
Our media is entirely corrupt, biased, and out of control.
In the video titled "Media Bias (and Not So Subtle) Ways Journalists Slant the News," Stossel shows you just how simpering and worshiping
In my last column, I wrote about America after a second Trump administration, but now comes the horror show – America after a first Kamala Harris administration, which is actually a second Biden administration, which is really the third Obama administration, only dumber. It's unclear whether America can survive it. We're strong. We're resilient. But the infection is deep and when you get gangrene, the only answer is to start cutting.
Don't underestimate the damage someone who is stupid, leftist, and fully convinced of her own greatness can do even to a country like the United States of America. President Harris will be in an unmitigated disaster.
Lee Smith is one of the sharpest political analysts around. And yesterday, writing at Thomas D. Klingenstein’s site, Smith asked a question that has probably occurred to the rest of you: “Is the Left Preparing for War If Trump Wins?” If someone like Smith asks the question based upon a careful review of available information, you’re no longer looking at tinfoil hat stuff; instead, this is a very serious matter that we hope the Trump campaign and the RNC are taking very seriously.
What concerns Smith is the escalating rhetoric about Trump as a “fascist” (Kamala’s words) and another Hitler (John Kelly, The Atlantic, Kamala Harris). Before, during, and after

Dinkelman and how did the snake handler
and YouTuber die? 19 replies
GRAHAM "Dingo" Dinkelman was a renowned South African wildlife conservationist, snake handler and broadcaster. The popular YouTuber tragically passed away on October 28, 2024, following a month-long battle in hospital. His death was the result of complications from a venomous snake bite he sustained while working with reptiles, a field he was deeply passionate about.
Dubbed the 'South African Steve Irwin', Dingo had amassed more than 100,000 YouTube subscribers and over 600,000 Instagram followers at the time of his passing. Graham Dinkelman was born on June 15, 1980, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
From a young age he displayed a keen interest in wildlife, particularly reptiles.
He attended Maritzburg College,

There is a tide in the affairs of men, as Shakespeare said, and now, two weeks before election day, that tide has swung decisively toward Donald Trump. Forget the establishment polls. The betting sites show him leading by nearly thirty points. He’s ahead in every last battleground state, according to RCP. Embattled Democrat senatorial candidates, including Bob Casey, Sherrod Brown, Jon Tester, and Tammy Baldwin have abandoned Harris and allied themselves with Trump. Both the LA Times and WaPo have refused to endorse Harris. There are more registered GOP voters today than at any previous point in history.
As for Mrs. Harris-Emhoff… well, “collapse” is the polite word.

With the election just days away, people on both sides are on edge but things are looking very good for Trump.
This is causing widespread panic in Hollywood, one of the most reliably liberal parts of the country. Liberal celebrities have shown over and over again that they will vote Democrat no matter what is happening in the rest of the nation.
Wealthy celebs seem even more out of touch as they do not feel the economic pain that has burdened people everywhere else for over three years now.
If Hollywood is panicked, that is not a good sign for Harris.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently appeared on MSNBC and said that if you vote Republican, you’re anti-woman and anti-American.
It has been amazing in this election cycle, how Democrats have become so comfortable insulting and degrading their fellow Americans for the crime of disagreeing with them.
Their deranged rhetoric makes them look very desperate, like they know they’re losing.

I think it wise to just vote and ignore the polls and pundits, many of whom are dealing from the bottom of the deck and bluffing. I’d also ignore those doomsters who claim on the basis of the 2020 election that it will be stolen. Sure, as I note below, there has been and will be a lot of cheating, but the Republicans are getting better at monitoring it and reducing it. Sure, the press is lying again, but as I show below, the legacy media has blown its credibility and alternate content providers are capturing audiences away from them.
This is what happens when Trump supporters are labeled “garbage,” “Nazis,” and “Fascists” by Democrat leaders and their media stenographers.
A violent leftist was arrested for beating a Trump supporter at a Bath, New York, grocery store on Friday.
60-year-old Robert Yott was arrested on Friday after he became aggressive and confronted a Trump supporter wearing a ‘Trump 2024’ hat at Tops Friendly Markets.
According to police, Yott repeatedly punched the Trump supporter in the face and broke his teeth.

A Bath man is facing charges after he allegedly attacked a stranger in a grocery store for wearing a Trump hat.
A Second Amendment and free speech advocate, Lily Tang Williams is the GOP candidate running for United States Congress in New Hampshire District 2. Williams' opponent is part of the D.C. machine: Maggie Goodlander worked as a Senate staffer, a White House aid, and as a deputy assistant attorney general under Attorney General Merrick Garland before resigning to run for the District 2 seat as a Democrat. The seat was held for 12 years by Ann McLane Kuster (D-NH), who announced her retirement from Congress at the end of March.
One of the United States’ foremost white supremacists is urging his followers to support Vice President Harris in the presidential election next week.
Richard Spencer, an avowed racist, antisemite and admirer of Nazism who coined the term “alt-right” and was a featured speaker when he took part in the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va., called Harris the “best manager of the American empire.”
Spencer — who also gained international recognition after yelling “Hail Trump! Hail our people!” and being greeted with Nazi salutes during a white nationalist event in November 2016 — also condemned former President Trump’s strong support of Israel.
Former President Donald Trump is poised to secure a significant electoral victory, potentially “sweeping battleground states,” according to Rasmussen’s head pollster, who sees the current race favoring Trump in the national popular vote, suggesting a larger “political realignment” is underway, and foreseeing an outcome that could echo — or even exceed — Ronald Reagan’s historic landslide win over Jimmy Carter in 1980.
In a striking forecast days before the 2024 presidential election, Rasmussen’s head pollster, Mark Mitchell, is suggesting that Donald Trump will secure a strong lead nationally and dominate in key battleground states, positioning him for a sweeping victory. Mitchell even foresees a potential flip
Former President Trump invited the members of the Roanoke College women’s swim team who stood up against the radical left after a transgender athlete tried to join their team on the stage at his rally in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday.
Before bringing the swimmers on stage, Trump reminded the audience of the team’s “brave” stand in defending their rights as female athletes after a trans athlete tried to join their team. “Last year, the radical left’s gender insanity arrived right here in Salem when a man was allowed to transfer onto the Roanoke College’s women’s swim team,” Trump said. “I just met them backstage. They’re great swimmers. …
Angry viewers noticed how Kamala Harris' SNL skit appeared to be eerily similar to one in which Donald Trump took part in while campaigning for president in 2015.
Harris could be seen talking to herself as she made a surprise appearance on Saturday night as she sat in front of a mirror, speaking with actress Maya Rudolph who was portraying the Democratic presidential candidate.
But viewers were quick to note how the sketch was strikingly similar to one performed nine years earlier by Trump. (Photos) Just as in Harris' cold open, Trump was also seen talking to himself through the mirror, and asking for himself for advice.
The Pentagon is shirking its duty when it comes to providing active military members with the fundamental resources necessary to vote, according to three Republican congressmen. Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Mike Waltz (R-FL), and Bill Huizenga (R-MI) all signed a letter directed to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin demanding more resources for servicemembers.
“We urge you to mobilize all the necessary resources over the next seven days to give every American citizen wearing our nation’s uniform the opportunity to vote if they so desire, pursuant to all federal and state regulations governing elections,” the letter states.
In case you have not been paying attention – leftist groups around the country have been caught corrupting our elections by dumping tens of thousands of bogus ballot registrations into our voter rolls. This is taking place in state after state.
PENNSYLVANIA
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania city officials announced eight days ago that they were investigating a massive fraudulent voter registration operation investigation involving thousands of fraudulent voter registrations. At least 2,500 ballot registrations were in question.
On Saturday, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania announced that they were also investigating hundreds of fake ballot registrations that were turned in recently by a questionable voter registration group.
The teenage boy accused of shooting two people dead on Halloween has refused to show up to court - but his mom took his place instead. Jaylen Dwayne Edgar, 17, who allegedly killed two men and injured eight other people in downtown Orlando, failed to show up to court Saturday morning. Instead, his mother made an emotional appearance on his behalf according to Fox 35 Orlando. She spoke only to confirm his identity. The suspect is expected to be charged as an adult due to the severity of the crimes he is accused of. The judge said he will remain in juvenile custody.

A few years ago in Papua New Guinea, a multitude of villagers participated in catching a killer salt water crocodile, a "saltie," that measured 20 feet and four inches at the zoo. After the croc's death, he was stuffed and put on display. Australian salties have been reported to have grown as long as 23 feet. (The record American alligator wss 19 feet and 2 inches.) Yeah, they'll both eat you.
