A woman who was attacked and killed by an alligator in a gated community in South Carolina on Friday was trying to touch the animal when it grabbed her and dragged her underwater, authorities said today. After briefly getting away from the alligator, the woman stood in waist deep water in the Kiawah Island pond and said 'I guess I wont do this again,' but the alligator grabbed her in its jaws again and took her under the water, according to a supplemental police report released Tuesday.

Having grown up in FL, we kids knew everything larger than a puddle probably had a gator in it so steer clear. To try and pet a gator, wow, talk about having no concept of the true natures of predators. Hence why these people vote Democrat.

I mean really people, God put those massive sharp teeth and that sinister look into the eyes of an alligator/crocodile for a very good reason. Stay the hell away. I knew a guy in the Army who tried to was wrangling a "baby" 3 footer pulled out of a lake, and when he flipped from supine position, the teeth went right across his hand, severing all sorts of fibers they encountered. It took micro-surgery to repair his hand, and he barely escaped being Court Martialed for the alcohol-fueled bravado at a battalion party.

Have you looked up how alligators handle their prey? They like their meat ripe, so they store it for a few days. Their teeth are good for biting, but not so much for chewing. So after the prey has ripened, they rip off chunks and swallow. Darwin Award for sure.

Years ago, in Gainesville, Fla, there was a small pond near an apartment complex where my wife-to-be was living that summer session of college. I was over picking her up, and we saw that the little gator (about 4.5 ft) had pulled up with his head on land to enjoy some sunshine and a nap. We walked over to about 20 ft away and looked at him a bit. When we were starting to leave an airhead college student, frizzy long hair, cutoff jeans and no shirt, walked up and looked for a couple of seconds. "Is it alive?" he asked. "Yes", I replied. "Nah, I think it's dead." and proceeded to remove a flip flop and start poking the gator in the snout. I told my girlfriend, "Let's leave quickly, this idiot is going to lose a hand and I don't want to have to help him out." We quickly left, shaking our heads. People are stupid as hell sometimes. That "little"gator could have at minimum mangled a hand or arm if it chose to.

It is one of the ironies of the trial of President Trump on a charge of incitement of insurrection that the remarks most likely to be studied by historians is the speech delivered after the verdict — not guilty — was brought in. It was after the Senate ordered the outcome be sent for safekeeping with the Secretary of State, and the court of impeachment was adjourned, that Senator Mitch McConnell unloaded. His speech is likely to go down as one of the most remarkable ever delivered in the Senate.

Megyn Kelly is leading criticism of a Los Angeles Times columnist who compared her neighbors to Nazi sympathizers and Hezbollah because they backed Donald Trump.

Of course, on some level, I realize I owe them thanks — and, man, it really looks like the guy back-dragged the driveway like a pro — but how much thanks?' she wrote.

The Wyoming Republican Party voted overwhelmingly Saturday to censure U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney for voting to impeach President Donald Trump for his role in the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Only eight of the 74-member state GOP's central committee stood to oppose censure in a vote that didn't proceed to a formal count. The censure document accused Cheney of voting to impeach even though the U.S. House didn't offer Trump 'formal hearing or due process.'

The Next Phase of Vaccination

The vaccine rollout is not going as planned. Since mid-December, the U.S. has distributed 21.4 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines; fewer than one-third have actually made it into people’s arms. The problems have been many and varied: holiday delays, scheduling scams, long lines in some places, and not enough demand in others. These initial kinks are getting worked out, but that alone will not get us back to normal anytime soon. The next phase of the vaccine campaign—reaching tens of millions of elderly people and essential workers, along with the rest of the community—will be even harder.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
