Don’t forget... the Maricopa County Sheriff, who before being elected was arrested for beating his wife and had his gun permit revoked until the wife suddenly withdrew the complaint (yeah, that never happens...) was also financed by George Soros.
A combination of factors is driving a wave of Democratic retirements in the House as Republicans look to flip the chamber in 2022.
The census is giving deep-red Texas and Florida another congressional district. And Republican-dominated state legislatures will be able to draw maps that make red districts redder and force two Democrats to vie for the same House seat.
Democrats will get their chance to make blue districts bluer in New York, Illinois, and California, so any bellyaching they do will be mostly subdued — except where they can claim GOP racism in drawing districts in states of the old South.
But there’s no escaping the fact for many Democratic members of Congress—unless Republicans shoot themselves in the foot, they are very likely to take control in 2022.

Wisconsin State Rep. Tony Kurtz told “Fox & Friends” Thursday he has proposed a bill requiring the national anthem to be played before all sporting events in the state, and expressed that Americans need to ‘come together as a nation.’ Sites covered by the bill would include major, taxpayer-subsidized venues where the Packers, Bucks and Brewers play, as well as public schools and other facilities that were built or upgraded with taxpayer funds.”
Moar Bird Slide:
The bald eagle population has made a remarkable comeback. But the majestic symbol of American pride is turning out to be a nuisance, especially in Canada.
Flocks have been spotted along highways in the Pacific Northwest, feasting in a landfill in Vancouver. Earlier this year, a ravenous raptor stalked and killed a seagull in front of shocked onlookers at a busy Vancouver golf course.
With an 8-foot wingspan and a distinctive snowy-white head, America’s national emblem conjures feelings of patriotism and reverence.
“You’re in awe every time you see one,” says Jeanine Pesce, who recently moved from New Jersey to British Columbia and now sees the raptors almost daily. “Their physicality and presence is so profound you feel a need to pay homage to them.”
But Ms. Pesce, who owns a consulting agency, has had to explain some National Geographic-worthy encounters to her 5-year-old daughter. “One day I watched an eagle drag a Canadian goose back and forth across rocks for hours,” she says. “I was told that’s how they tenderize their meat.”
It wasn’t long ago that birdwatchers considered the odds of a bald eagle sighting just this side of a unicorn sighting. Through conservation efforts and the banning of chemicals like DDT, the population recovered to numbers that warranted the bird’s removal from the endangered species list in 2007. A recent report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department found that numbers have quadrupled to more than 316,000 in 2019, from 72,000 in 2009.

I love our flag and national anthem but pubs should do SERIOUS business to correct this horrible slide our country is taking and playing the anthem, forcing school prayer, banning flag burning are light weights....
> bald eagles
I was walking Ollie the Wonder Dog a few weeks back down our road. There’s a very large pond about a mile down our road. No sooner did I get there when a bald eagle flew into a branch behind this guys house. We stopped and stared it for a while. First time I’ve seen one here.
It should be noted that the difference between a lake and a pond is not the circumfrence but the depth.

i see two or maybe three birds. Note the color of the birds they’re identical. The rest was done in editing. The birds walked off on the left side. The circling was added in editing
