Last weekend, a boater in Georgia’s Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge came across a swarm of alligators, but he wasn’t deterred. Marty Welch recorded the moment his boat ran into a huge herd of gators on the way to Billy’s Lake. Instead of turning around, Welch decided to slowly pass through.

Alligators have that beastly reputation, but few get this big.

These things are literally prehistoric, being around for centuries. These apex predators are adaptable and able to survive through all sorts of conditions. Alligators can get massive too, reaching over 1,000-pounds at their most and measuring over 15 feet long in some cases.

These things have one of the most powerful bites in the whole world, which can reach of 2,000 pounds per square inch. On top of that they can sprint at speeds of 35 miles per hours for a short distance, but far enough to capture prey with their death bite.

Naturally, a massive one isn’t the thing you want to see trotting through your yard or neighborhood. But that’s what folks who live in Florida and Louisiana, and a few other places, have to deal with on a regular basis. And there’s not much you can do about it.

This massive gator is seen walking through a neighborhood as everyone watches in awe and disbelief that they have to look out for something so huge. The gator doesn’t even look real as it walks along.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
