Paleontologists Stunning Conclusion: 2.5 Billion T. Rexes Roamed North America Over the Cretaceous Period TOPICS:DinosaursEvolutionPaleontologyPopularTyrannosaurus RexUC BerkeleyBy University of California - Berkeley April 15, 2021Analysis of what’s known about the dinosaur leads to conclusion there were 2.5 billion over time.How many Tyrannosaurus rexes roamed North America during the Cretaceous period?That’s a question Charles Marshall pestered his paleontologist colleagues with for years until he finally teamed up with his students to find an answer.What the team found, to be published this week in the journal Science, is that about 20,000 adult T. rexes probably lived at any one time, give or...

An excellent thread by the esteemed REX: 1. Sorry, guys. But this idea that the GOP will vote against Biden/the Dems to 'save the Republic' on Jan 6 is delusional. A few brave #MAGA Reps & Senators will object. But the GOP establishment will NOT, for as long as they can avoid it. Trump knows that. (If the link fails to work I will post a backup link in the first post.) Why?

1. As the tables turn against the Dems, it's all becoming clear. Trump knew what the Democratic Crime Group was up to well before the election. In hindsight, it all makes sense. That's why Trump didn't declass. Because it didn't matter. It wouldn't have made a difference, because Trump knew exactly what the crooks had planned. In desperation, they were going to RIG the election. Consider...

1. New drops by Sidney Powell: - 35k illegal votes frontloaded/added for every Democrat candidate in PA, Powell believes across US - VPN lines were opened to the internet allowing foreign actors access - Georgia will be first state Powell will 'blow up' - Kemp & Rattenberger in her crosshairs - thousands likely implicated - software could 'weight' votes differently eg a Trump vote was counted as 0.75, Biden 1.25 - drag and drop allowed votes to be erased or switched. RAMPANT FRAUD.

Mark Zaid, an attorney for the anti-Trump whistleblower, threatened to use his clients’ intelligence capabilities to dox a random Twitter user who irritated him. The user, who went by “Rex,” has now been suspended from Twitter. Zaid tweeted: Hey ‘Rex’, why don’t you revel your identity instead of attacking someone while hiding? I’d love to have my intelligence and law enforcement clients see what they can find about your life. We can compare notes on our research efforts. What do you say? Game? The truly disturbing aspect here is Zaid threatening to use government power and U.S. taxpayer dollars to...

By using 'The Wall' as bait, wedge issues as a weapon and the shutdown as leverage, POTUS Trump is forcing The Democrats to construct walls within their own Party. As REX explains, Trump's strategy is to exploit the enemy's poor leaders to foment division, perhaps even civil war within the Democrat camp - and they don't even know it. by Rex Thu, January 24, 2019 Let's start by considering this timeline:On 11 December, 2018, POTUS Trump launched a surprise attack on Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, in the Oval Office. The issue in contention was the urgent need to build...

( a new website where lots of conservative writers go after they are forever banned from Twitter and FB, etc..) Behind the scenes, Trump's spooks are destroying the enemies of the Republic, using astonishing tradecraft. Their assault has been devastating, as REX explains. "The corrupt government officials who instructed FBI agents to raid the home of US government whistleblower Dennis Cain on 18 November 2018, must have been confident. Someone had leaked them valuable information. The ID & address of a key whistleblower and potential star witness, who was storing original evidence devastating to the Clintons, as well as Bob...

A thread on how Team Trump is preparing the normies for what is coming : major Swamp Draining. Many look at the kabuki theater in Congress, as the way to evaluate 'Trump v Swamp'. They misunderstand the role Trump has assigned to Congress, in this great American scandal. 2. The strategy is becoming clearer now. Consider : Trump KNOWS EVERYTHING. This isn't a situation where he is flying blind. The evidence is in, all of it. Has been for a long time. The issue isn't WHAT Trump has. It's HOW to bring the perps to justice. And WHEN. 3. IMO,...

The New York Post took a jab at the ousting of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson by riffing on an old headline that featured President Trump. “Worst Rex He Ever Had,” Wednesday's front page reads. The headline is a reference to a 1990 front page that quoted Marla Maples saying Trump, her soon-to-be husband, was the “Best Sex I’ve Ever Had.” The two were married in 1993 and divorced in 1999. Wednesday’s front page quickly went viral on social media.

The first known fossilized skin impressions for Tyrannosaurus rex suggest that this gigantic carnivore, unlike many other dinosaurs, had little to no feathers. The fossils, reported in the journal Biology Letters, show that T. rex was instead covered with a tough and scaly hide. Fossilized skin impressions for other tyrannosaurs — including Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and Daspletosaurus — reveal that all such dinosaurs lacked feathers, too.

Earlier today Secretary of State Rex Tillerson talked to the employees at the State Department and delivered outstanding remarks to explain the Trump administration foreign policy approach. T-Rex talks about the ongoing State Dept. mission and how values and policies intersect with the larger ‘America-First’ strategy. Specifically T-Rex explains how the distinction between U.S. ‘values’ relates to U.S. ‘policy’ but determinations of influence and our best interests cannot necessarily be contingent upon foreign governments accepting values that are inherently different to their culture. These remarks delivered to State Dept personnel are exceptionally well presented and intensely interesting.

Tyrannosaurus rex: Scavenger or Predator? by Tim Clarey, Ph.D. * Tyrannosaurus rex looms in recent history as likely the most famous dinosaur that ever lived. The Jurassic Park movies pumped new life into its image as a savage predator. But how much of this is Hollywood hype and how much reflects science? Looking at the numbers, an adult T. rex weighed in at over five tons. If it were endothermic (i.e., warm-blooded), it would need to eat the equivalent of a full-grown, three-ton hadrosaur each week. If it were ectothermic (i.e., cold-blooded), it would only require a fifth to a...

A retired Marine has finally been reunited with her old military service dog after a six-year bureaucratic battle to adopt him. Cpl. Megan Leavey, 28, served with her four-legged German shepherd partner Sgt. Rex through two tours in Iraq, completing hundreds of missions searching for roadside bombs until an insurgent explosion took them both out of service in 2006. . . Rex was diagnosed with a kind of nerve paralysis earlier this year, permanently taking him out of service and prompting Leavey to take up a new adoption campaign. It became a race against the clock to get final approval...

Sgt. Rex, a German shepherd trained for military work, is on track to move back in with a former handler and fellow war veteran. The retired military working dog, subject of a Morning Read in The Orange County Register earlier this year, made national news last week when a senator stepped forward to cut through red tape to get Rex released from Camp Pendleton as soon as possible.

ALBANY, N.Y. — An online petition drive is under way to reunite a former Marine corporal with the combat dog she was injured with in Iraq. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer says Cpl. Megan Leavey of Rockland County was injured along with military dog Rex while trying to disarm an explosive in Iraq in 2006. Leavey earned a Purple Heart and a Combat Valor Medal and spent a year recovering with Rex.

CAMP PENDLETON – The second RPG round blew Cpl. Mike Dowling off his feet. The Marine had never seen combat before, but in 2004, he found himself in the thick of battle in Iraq's infamous "Triangle of Death." Boom! The blast from the rocket-propelled grenade slammed him into the ground, along with a fellow Marine, Sgt. Rex. As Dowling recounts in his just-published book, the explosion must have knocked him out cold for a second: "I come to with Rex on his feet, eyes white with fear and searching wildly in the smoke and dust to find me. "Then he's...

<p>"Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time and they're not always happy with me. They talk about me like a dog. That's not in my prepared remarks, but it's true," he told a crowd largely consisting of union members.</p>

1/13/2006 - PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. (AFPN) -- A 21st Security Forces Squadron Airman is the first military working dog handler allowed to adopt her K-9 partner from active duty. Tech. Sgt. Jamie Dana, a military working dog handler, has been waiting since August for the official word after she requested to adopt her K-9, Rex. The two were injured in an improvised explosive attack on their Humvee June 25 in Iraq. President George W. Bush signed the Defense Appropriations Bill Dec. 30 allowing military working dogs to retire early and be adopted by their handlers following traumatic events....

WASHINGTON - Severely injured when her Humvee was bombed in Iraq, Air Force Tech Sgt. Jamie Dana woke up in a military hospital and cried out for Rex, her bomb-sniffing dog. She was told Rex was dead. Later, she found out he was alive. But her joy soon turned to sadness when she was told she couldn't adopt him. Now, under a compromise announced Thursday between House-Senate negotiators, it appears Rex, a German shepherd, will join Dana full-time. He might even make it there by the holidays. "I don't really know how to put that into words," said Dana, a...

CAMP FALLUJAH, Iraq (Nov. 10, 2005) -- Some Marines stationed in Iraq have had the unique experience of deploying or crossing paths with a relative or other loved one while here. For one Marine serving with 2nd Military Police Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force (FWD), she had the opportunity to deploy with her best friend. Lance Cpl. Megan Leavey, 22, military police dog handler, arrived in Iraq late May with her partner Rex, a German Shepherd, to provide force protection for Camp Fallujah as well as security at entry control points in the city. Leavey and Rex began training together...
