I wish that I had been able to see the Elephant Walk through Manhattan.

CLOSE THE CIRCUS = "Drain the Swamp"

May as well consider this a prophetic sign.

Forty elephants live at the Center for Elephant Conservation in Polk County.

_________________________________________________________
Hopefully none still confined as the were in 1999 when the center unbelievably (or not) failed a USDA inspection due to its restraint policy.

Barnum said that there was a sucker born every minute.

Libtard SJWs have demonized circuses to the point that animal acts are shunned and you are left with cirque du soleil fru fru clown acts.

To be a bankable enterprise, Barnum and Bailey should make capital off of those sucker Democrats.

How about taking the 2016 election (a ratings winner) on tour and hosting a three ring circus with Obama in the middle ring? Put Bernie in the Left Ring and Hillary on the tipsy end...

Sad, but it was a relic. Nothing lasts forever. Circus Vargas is apparently thriving.

I was once at the gym and watched a guy do a handstand. He held it very solidly for about a minute. There was no wavering at all. Then he proceeded to do splits, a little unusual for a guy. I asked him if he was a professional athlete. He told me he was in the circus. I still remember it and believe that the people who work there are definitely professional athletes.
