The Pacu fish, native to South America, was found in New Jersey in June of 2015. It’s a relative of the flesh-eating piranha and is known for its distinctive teeth, which bear an eerie resemblance to human teeth. Luckily, the Pacu fish is not going to bite your face off because it primarily eats plants and is considered mostly harmless to humans.

I just read a headline on Breithart news claiming the leftist propagandist Jim Acosta is complaining that Pres. Trump’s ban of some of the manure spreading, er I mean main stream news media from the Whitehouse and Air Force One was not The American Way of doing things. I must have missed the democrat memo that instructed the minions to stop destroying every last vestige of our history and traditions. And I haven’t noticed any evidence that democrats now favor what the rest of us call normal behavior. Maybe they just don’t know how to stop destroying everything they get ahold of and calling it progressivism. And since they refuse to listen to anything a Conservative has to say, I’m sure they have not a clue as to what other options are available. I’d like to point out to Jim and his ilk that having a cabal of leftist propagandists masquerading as a news organization definitely is not The American Way.
Explanation:On sol 1943 of its journey of exploration across the surface of Mars, the Curiosity Rover recorded this selfie at the south rim of Vera Rubin Ridge. Of course a sol is a Martian solar day, about 40 minutes longer than an Earth day. Curiosity’s sol 1943 corresponds to Earth date January 23, 2018. Also composed as an interactive 360 degree VR, the mosaicked panorama combines 61 exposures taken by the small car-sized rover’s Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI). Frames containing the imager’s arm have been edited out while the extended background used was taken by the rover’s Mastcam on sol 1903. At the top of the rover’s mast, sitting above the Mastcam, the laser-firing ChemCam housing blocks out the distant, 5 kilometer high peak of Mount Sharp. On Earth date August 26, 2026, Curiosity marked an total elevation gain of 1 kilometer in its trek from the floor of Gale Crater up the slope of Mount Sharp
