The Nez Perce County Coroner estimated that the man was between 18 and 22 years old, stood 5’11” tall, and weighed between 145 and 160 pounds. The man was never identified and was referred to as 'Snake River John Doe'. By 2008 the case was entered into the National Missing & Unidentified Persons System. A sketch was conducted of the...

At a Philadelphia protest against the presidential debate between Kamal Harris and Donald Trump on September 10, 2024, protesters waved Hamas and PFLP flags, held a banner stating: “Amerika is the head of the snake,” and chanted, “Yahya Sinwar, you make us proud!” Protesters continued to laud Hamas’s Izz Al-din Al-Qassam Brigades and the Lion’s Den. They added: “Resistance is justified, when people are occupied.” The protest’s MC led the crowd in a chant: “U.S. imperialist – number one terrorist!” Participants chanted that Vice President Kamala Harris is a “war criminal,” and called for “Intifada, revolution,” while making a triangle...

Before the Snake River in Jackson Hole had any dam across it, the current ran wide, fast, and turbulent through Jackson Hole. Crossing the Snake, the “accursed mad river,” as the Frenchmen called it, required skill and bravado. At least, that was the case before Bill Menor happened on the scene. Tall, thin Menor spent his early life in Ohio and came to Wyoming in 1892, squatting on the west bank of the Snake River. In 1894 he started construction of a low log house among the cottonwoods along the bank of the river, and he bought a cow or...

Ahh … God bless the great state of Florida. If you’re not familiar: Every year, an event named the Florida Python Challenge pops off in the Sunshine State to help the removal of Burmese pythons that are invading the Florida Everglades and areas around the legendary wetlands. Here in 2024, things are no different and this year’s edition has been going on the last few weeks in South Florida. Well, while this has been going on, one python hunter was shocked when he found a snake taking a ride on an alligator. In the words of Bobby Ruiz, a Wink...

Britain’s new prime minister has called on the public to reject the “snake oil charm of populism” as King Charles III outlined the Labour government’s legislative agenda for the coming year, which will include a push to fully ban tobacco, a doubling down on the green agenda, an attempt to “reset” relations with the EU and to advocate for Palestinian statehood. At the State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday, King Charles III delivered the “gracious speech from the throne” — more commonly known as the King’s Speech — which sets out the government’s legislative programme for the upcoming parliamentary session....

Mitt Romney trashed Donald Trump again, which gave the media another opportunity to pretend Republicans are abandoning President Trump. Romney never supported President Trump. WMMS reported, “Republican Sen. Mitt Romney said he won’t support former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election due to ‘a matter of personal character.’“Romney, 77, was among several politicians within the party to condemn Trump during his presidency and said the presumptive GOP candidate's recent meeting with Republicans on Capitol Hill last week did nothing to change his perspective.”I chose to quote WMMS over other outlets because it is the Home of the Buzzard.

The Ayeyarwady pit viper, a new species discovered in Myanmar by Dr. Chan Kin Onn, illustrates the complexities of species differentiation in pit vipers. This species, which displays traits of both the redtail and mangrove pit vipers, was initially thought to be a hybrid but was confirmed as distinct through genomic analysis. Credit: Wolfgang Wüster Finding and describing new species can be a tricky endeavor. Scientists typically look for distinctive characters that can differentiate one species from another. However, variation is a continuum that is not always easy to quantify. At one extreme, multiple species can look alike even though...

June 17 (UPI) -- Commuters were evacuated from a Hong Kong train during rush hour Monday morning when a snake measuring more than a foot long was spotted on board.

The passengers were boarded onto a replacement train and MTR employees were able to capture the serpent in a cardboard box. The snake was carted away by police and a snake catcher later identified the reptile as a California king snake, a non-venomous...

Prehistoric engravings of giant snakes along South America's Orinoco river are among the largest examples of rock art we know of anywhere in the world, with some stretching for more than 40 metres.The Orinoco is one of the world's largest rivers, flowing through Venezuela and along its border with Colombia. "There's an outstanding record of rock art along the Orinoco, especially on the Venezuelan side," says José Oliver at University College London. "Usually, they are paintings found in rock shelters."Engravings are common in many open-air sites along the river, he says, but not all of them have been officially recorded...Since...

Last Sunday’s ‘Demonic Flooding of America’ was so popular, this is its companion piece, a fleshed-out examination of the Head of the Snake; the cabal that is behind the Great Reset, the Covid and Global Warming hoaxes, and every profit-bonanza-war of the last thirty, if not 500 years, but especially Ukraine. They call themselves by a proliferation of names: the Olympians, the Elect, Bilderbergers, the 300, demi-gods, the Black Nobility, other silly secret names that must not be spoken. They are secret because their intent is evil. They practice the occult – foolish and irresponsible – they are “Masons” of...

Appearing on CNN’s ‘State of the Union’ with host Dana Bash, Gonzales discussed the recent passage of the multi-billion foreign aid package and the possibility that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson may be removed from office. Rather than taking a diplomatic tone in favor of party unity, the Texas Congressman unloaded on Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Bob Good (R-VI), making various spurious allegations about their political and private lives. Here is a transcript of the exchange: BASH: So, you voted yes on the foreign aid package. Do you have confidence that at this point, given that it is...

Pythons turn their food into meat pretty efficiently, a study finds, making them an intriguing alternative to climate-unfriendly cows. Put aside your chicken cutlets and meatloaf and say hello to python curries and satay skewers. Some snake scientists think eating these reptiles—already customary or at least acceptable in parts of the world—might help lessen the damage our food choices have on the environment. With some eight billion people on the planet today, all of whom require protein to stay healthy, finding new sources of these nutrients is a crucial issue. But how do you get from the challenge of providing...

A photo of a venomous snake barely visible beneath dead leaves has reminded Aussies to be wary of the creatures. The pictures was taken in bushland near the aptly named Snake Valley, west of Ballarat, on Wednesday. It was found by Hodgson's Snakes, a snake-catching business based out of Ballarat, who revealed the snake in question was a venomous lowland copperhead that can grow up to 1.7m-long. The snake's brown scales can barely be seen as it's almost perfectly camouflaged among the layer of dead leaves on the ground. Hodgson's Snakes' owner, Gianni Hodgson, told Daily Mail Australia they relocated...

Rapture Ready ^ | 2/3/24 | Daymond Duck
During an interview on Jan. 24, 2024, an Israeli official, Nir Barkat, a man that some think will replace Benjamin Netanyahu, said: “Jihadists want to kill all non-Muslims. We may be first in line, but we are all in the same line. They call Israel Little Satan, and Big Satan is the US, and everyone else is in the middle.” Barkat was talking about the fact that Muslims are taught that they have been tasked with converting the world to Islam (even if they must kill all non-Muslims). He identified three groups of people that Muslims want to kill: 1)...

A highly venomous snake interrupted play during Dominic Thiem's victory against James McCabe at the Brisbane International qualifying event. Former US Open champion Thiem was a set down to Australian McCabe when the snake was spotted near the courtside electrical wires. A 40-minute break in play followed while the reptile was safely removed by a professional snake catcher. "I really love animals, especially exotic ones," Thiem said afterwards. "But they said it was a really poisonous snake and it was close to the ball kids, so it was a really dangerous situation. "It's something that has never happened to me...
