Check this out: here is a Confederate Soldier from East Texas wearing Jaguar-skin chaps from a cat killed in the woods around Marshall, TX.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, none of these pelts still exist. But so many explorers recorded seeing the pelts hung up in Indian homes, used for arrow quivers, even hung up in barns in the mid-1800s, & so on.
Nobody has really tried to extract the best/most evidence possible for the Jaguar’s historic habitation in the US (yet) - I started putting together the archives in Texas & now I’m onto Louisiana.
The lack of hard evidence is disappointing. Around 500,000 Jaguars were shot from 1900-1950 across the Americas &, somehow, nothing was preserved.
I would imagine they were largely treated the way the Eastern Cougar was: the last Cougar in the Carolinas was supposedly shot around 1886 — but I know of a box of Eastern Cougar pelts & bones sitting in an old man’s garage from cats his dad shot in the 1950s. They’re in bad shape & soon enough they’ll disappear too.
Maybe these posts will reach someone who has a box with an old Jaguar pelt in it… 🐆
Politicians aren’t ready for tmz DC. DC has always been there little kingdom nobody pushes too hard or exposes there depravities, but tmz is gonna be watching these people day and night for cheap stories, and there are many.
This little liar got caught.
Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D) @rep_jackson claimed he was stuck in a traffic jam so he couldn’t vote to impeach Pete Hegseth. But TMZ saw him on the steps of the Capitol 10 mins before the vote.
Bijan Robinson describes the culture shock of moving to Atlanta after growing up in Arizona and playing college football at Texas
ESB: “I’ve never seen so many Black people in my life. I was driving on the freeway. I’m looking at every car, it’s a Black person”
Bijan: “My first reaction, so when I stayed at the hotel, it was a really nice hotel, and there was the Black people there, they were cleaning the rooms.
ESB: “Out here in Arizona, in California, it’s usually Mexican people”
Bijan: “It was Black people at the front desk, everywhere. So I was like, ‘This is a different, this is a different culture than what I’m used to.’ When I saw that, I was like, ‘Okay, I definitely know where I’m at’”

@NomDeFlume Everyone in this comment section seems to think colleges don’t care about attendance and you are wrong most legitimate colleges have a mandatory attendance, an attendance grade, and I’d say about 90% I had in school would fail you for like 5 unexcused absences. Shits changed.
@MLJK87@NomDeFlume Bro you can’t just skip classes in college anymore if you skip more than like 4 classes most colleges will fail you for the course now attendance is a big deal in college now it’s all changed since yall went
That video was of Megyn Doyle, an 18 year old former Turning Point Vice President.
Taken without her consent it depicts her at a TPUSA event, being held down, with blood visible from her groin. All the while a man says "She is for the whole team," as she resists.
Megyn:
Nou kenbe pwomès nou…
Nou detwi kay Lanmò San Jou ak katye jeneral gang 400 Mawozo a.
Pifò ladan yo kouri ale san yo pa menm eseye goumen.
Ala lach yo lach! 🥲
@CJK5H_SMU Enjoy this moment, SMU is destined to be a Wake Forest (on a normal year) or a BC in the long run. Once this fever dream is over you will come back down to reality; in a year or two. VT will own SMU. Save this message and let’s see the tally in 5 years.
