Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Sarah Palin went after Bill Maher Wednesday night via Twitter responding to a report that the left-wing HBO host called her 5-year-old son Trig, who has down syndrome, "retarded" during a comedy performance Saturday night at the Palms Pearl Concert in Las Vegas.

Describing Maher as a "bully," the former Alaskan governor challenged him to meet her when she’s in his "neck of the woods this weekend."


Several hours later, Palin followed up her initial challenge to Maher with another somewhat threatening Tweet.

Urgent: Is Obama Telling the Truth on IRS, Benghazi Scandals?

Hey bully, on behalf of all kids whom you hatefully mock in order to make yourself feel big, I hope one flattens your lily white wimpy a#*.
The report stemmed from former Vegas television host, Ron Futrell, who was thrown out of the show after he began heckling Maher following the alleged comment.

Described as an "outspoken conservative" by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which broke the story, Futrell told the paper that he could not recall the exact context in which Maher allegedly referred to Palin's son as being retarded.

Futrell added that he was not surprised that Maher would mock special-needs individuals but was shocked that the audience would find it as funny as he says they did.

"I’ve got a son with special needs," Futrell said. "It didn’t surprise me that Maher said it. It surprised me that a lot of people laughed at that joke."

This isn't the first time that Maher has targeted Palin's son Trig.

In September 2008, Maher mocked Trig during a monologue of his HBO show, noting that she has five children including an infant "that has Down syndrome. She had it when she was 43 years old. And it looks a lot like John Edwards."

Editor's Note: Get the Navy SEALs Cap – Celebrate Our Heroes

Palin has long been a target for Maher.

In the spring of 2011, Maher joked "Did you hear this — Sarah Palin finally heard what happened in Japan and she’s demanding that we invade ‘Tsunami,' I mean she said, ‘These ‘Tsunamians’ will not get away with this.’ Oh speaking of dumb . . . ," he said, using a very vulgar term for women.

At the time, Palin responded to the above stated attempt at humor by referring to Maher, without naming him, as a "mosquito" on her Facebook page.

President Barack Obama is losing the love of Hollywood over revelations that the National Security Agency has been conducting a top-secret program tracking the phone and Internet activity of millions of Americans.

Several supporters have taken to Twitter to denounce the administration.

According to Fox News, actor and liberal activist John Cusack tweeted, "Prism the name for electronic prison—all have to wear lojacks." Cusack also re-tweeted: "Obama is becoming the next Nixon."

Cusack also tweeted his support for technology contractor Edward Snowden, the man who leaked the program to the media. "Mr snowden, a man of remarkable courage — country owes our gratitude — for courageous civil disobedience — can u break law if protect crimes?"

Leading director Judd Apatow also tweeted to denounce the administration. "What is this, North Korea?" asked the man behind such lowbrow hits as "Bridesmaids," "Knocked Up" and "Anchorman."

"We are so inundated with so much info and so many problems — we have given up caring," he added. Apatow called the NSA program "an outrageous breach of the privacy and rights of American citizens."

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore delivered his unsurprisingly damning verdict, tweeting, "the administration has now lost all credibility."

He implied hypocrisy on the part of the president by highlighting a 2007 Obama quote: "that means no more illegal wiretapping of American citizens. No more (spying) on citizens…No more tracking citizens…"

Some have welcomed Hollywood's criticisms after what they say has been years of toeing the line for the president.

"I am encouraged to see the Hollywood left is starting to dish out some bipartisan criticism," political blogger and author Thomas Moyer told FOX411 Pop Tarts column. "Further, it hits a lot closer to home when you find out that your personal phone records are being monitored, something that scares a lot of people."

Coyotes becoming more aggressive ... National Geographics ... Thx Dr. H!

Are Coyotes Becoming More Aggressive?

<< Back to Page 1   Page 2 of 2
California Department of Fish and Game spokesperson Lorna Bernard notes that much of the Golden State is prime habitat for the opportunistic animals.
"They are scavengers as well as hunters, and they are very smart," she said. "When they learn that people aren't a danger to them, they become very brazen."
"We've had quite a few attacks," she continued, "but people don't typically get seriously hurt."
In California there has only been one documented human death attributed a coyote attack. The incident occurred about two decades ago, when a coyote killed a young girl in Glendale.
Timm and Baker list some 35 other coyote attacks over the past three decades on small children that could have been fatal, had an adult not intervened.
Eastern Coyotes Flex Muscle
Close human-coyote encounters are not restricted to California. In New York State, wildlife biologist Gordon Batcheller studies coyotes from his post at the state's Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
He said coyotes are "becoming habituated to humans and human environments, and adapting their behavior to ours."
From the coyotes' perspective, this human environment "is a 'subsidized environment,' meaning it provides an artificially high amount of foods with an unnatural absence of threats," Batcheller said. "These adaptable animals take quick advantage of these unnatural environments."
At Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, wildlife biologist Paul Curtis and his team are beginning a five-year study of coyote ecology and behavior, funded in part by the state's DEC.
"The goal of the project is to look at changes in both coyote and human behavior that may be leading to more conflicts and complaints," Curtis said.
New York DEC officials estimate that 20,000 to 30,000 coyotes live in the state.
Curtis describes a progression of behavior in so-called problem coyote areas. First, the generally reclusive animals are increasingly spotted in daylight hours. Next, pets begin to vanish from yards and are even snatched off leashes by coyotes.
"That's the last stage before a human attack," Curtis said. "And we're at that stage in New York now." New York wildlife officials hope to head off such conflicts before a serious attack or death occurs.
Most coyotes, even those living near humans, are seldom seen and are reclusive. But dealing with human-adjusted animals is a management challenge.
"It appears to be a learned behavior," Curtis noted. "Certain animals seem more adapted to an urban environment. They catch a few cats and say, Hey there is abundant food here."
Animal control officers are experimenting with ways to reintroduce fear of humans in coyotes that have lost it. Many states have open season on coyote hunting. But the practice is controversial and often impractical in suburban and urban areas, where most problems occur.
Other non-lethal methods, including rubber buckshot and fencing, have met with mixed results.
"If they persist in aggressive behavior, the ultimate solution would probably be to remove problem animals," Curtis said. "Nobody is happy about that."
Human Causes?
Meanwhile, Timm's data suggest that certain areas seem more predisposed to coyote-human conflicts.
"The data on pet losses in recent years is not very different in the states of Texas and California," the University of California wildlife specialist said. "Yet there have been few, if any, human attacks [by coyotes] in Texas."
No one is certain what might account for the discrepancy.
"We're speculating at this point, but something is different about southern California, and in many cases we think that intentional feeding in neighborhoods is a factor," Timm said. "It's probably more typical than we know."
"People in Texas don't have a kind of Disney attitude about animals," he added. "There may be more of that rancher mentality, where everybody recognizes that we don't want [coyotes] in the neighborhood."
Scientists stress that respect for animals, especially predators such as coyotes, means keeping them wild.
"Don't feed them, either purposely or inadvertently, and stay away from animals that show no natural fear," Batcheller, the New York wildlife biologist, cautioned. "Like other wildlife, coyotes should be enjoyed and appreciated, but from a distance. It does this species no good to encourage abnormal behaviors."
As Curtis, the Cornell wildlife biologist, noted, "Hearing [coyotes] howling in the woods at night is a wonderful thing. And that's where we want to keep them—in the woods, away from people."
