The Birdie Buffet on TikTok posts videos of birds taking advantage of her backyard feeder. She might want to rename it “Fat Frank’s” because her most frequent guest seems to be a squirrel she has dubbed with that moniker. For now, let us tell you about the heron on the porch. In the way back when, the person posting as Birdie Buffet lived in the middle of a 500-acre farmland. On an otherwise quiet Sunday morning, their German shepherd was emitting a “weird squawking bark.” Looking out the window to see the cause of the ruckus, they were met with an unbelievable sight. Sitting on the porch swing, swaying gently, was a blue heron. No pomp, he was just sitting on the swing, enjoying the sunrise. @birdiebuffet An oldie but a goodie. Many years ago I lived in the middle of 500ish acres of beautiful farmland. I woke up one Sunday morning to my GSD freaking out and heard this weird squawking bark. I opened my window to this beautiful blue heron that along full advantage of my partly decorated porch just enjoying his time on the swing while the sun came up. #backyardbirds #BirdieBuffet #birdtok #fyp #greatblueheron ♬ Little Sparrow – Paul Alan Morris Although they may live in a new place, there are plenty of wild birds around, and even a great blue heron nearby. Another visitor is this cute downy woodpecker. They enjoy a wide variety of wild birds, including doves, cardinals, finches, blue jays, and other common species. However, the most frequent visitor is a greedy squirrel they have named Fat Frank. @birdiebuffet Meet Fat Frank. #FatFrank loves peanuts. Fat Frank knows that I am the provider of said peanuts and shows his appreciation by burying his hoard of peanuts in my yard #BirdieBuffet #fyp #FrankTheSquirrel #squirreltok ♬ The Benny Hill Show – The Edwin Davids Jazz Band Frank is a sneaky little fellow who tries to grab all the peanuts before the blue jays get them. When he thinks no one is looking, he perches himself in the bird feeder and eats to his heart’s content. Frank does not seem to be bothered by the local bird population. Likewise, they don’t seem to mind him hanging around either. Although she may never see another heron on her porch, it looks like there will be no shortage of other birds and random animals visiting the Birdie Buffet.

The Complete Guide to Grateful Dead Guitarists The Grateful Dead emerged from the San Francisco Bay Area in 1965 as one of rock music’s most innovative and enduring acts, with guitar serving as the cornerstone of their revolutionary sound. Originally forming from the electric transformation of the jug band Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions, the group evolved through their brief incarnation as the Warlocks before settling on the iconic name that would define American psychedelic and jam band music for three decades. The interplay between lead and rhythm guitar became the foundation for their legendary improvisational jams that could stretch The post Complete List Of Grateful Dead Guitar Players appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Sometimes, simple methods are more effective than complex bespoke technologies.

The planet is significantly smaller now than when it formed.

Few images are more cursed than flounder eyes mid-migration.

Mexico. Washington, D.C. Minneapolis. Three places, one message: what our enemies believe and how we must respond if we don’t want to become their chattel.Start with Mexico. President Claudia Sheinbaum openly prefers her own citizens — the so-called salt-of-the-earth workers — to remain north of the Rio Grande rather than return home. Mexico is so badly broken that demanding the right to export its people into a country that increasingly resents the burden has become a viable political position.The angry young men Trump just won over demand accountability. Without it, no economic boom, no culture war victory, no campaign slogan will hold them.Now move to Washington, D.C. How broken do you have to be to protest against safer streets? President Donald Trump has vowed to bring order to the nation’s capital, yet Democrats bristle at the one federal action they’ve apparently never wanted to seize for themselves. For decades they told us D.C. deserved statehood. Now that Trump is taking responsibility for law and order, suddenly they retreat.The irony runs deeper. Mexico refuses to take back its “working class,” while Democrats refuse to federalize D.C. policing. The one time they might welcome federal control, they balk — because Trump is the guy enforcing it.D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith even admitted she doesn’t understand what “chain of command” means. This is the same woman who served as the department’s chief equity officer before becoming chief. If she can’t figure out who’s in charge, how can anyone else? This is what happens when the left prizes ideology over competence. Throw away your Bibles and your Constitution, kids — we’re going for a ride!Next stop: Minneapolis. Mayoral candidate Omar Fateh campaigns openly for a Marxist revolution, joining voices like New York’s Zohran Mamdani. They no longer bother to hide their intent. They say the quiet part loud: They want a world where you live under chains.A decade ago, such a platform would have been a political death wish. Suggesting Democrats were headed down that road would have branded you a “conspiracy theorist.” Today, Democrats think they can win elections on it.So here’s the pattern: Mexico won’t take back its own “industrious” citizens. Washington, D.C., Democrats prefer their largely black constituency to live under siege by criminals rather than accept Trump’s help. And in Minneapolis, a leading candidate runs on a platform of putting Somalia first.RELATED: Stop calling Zohran Mamdani a communist — he’s something worse Photo by Stephanie Keith/Getty ImagesWe tell ourselves we can laugh this off as fringe madness — as long as it’s not in our back yard. But that’s denial. The threat is real, and it’s aimed at our children, if we last that long. This is invasion by increments: more foreigners, more crime, more leaders pretending they don’t know what a chain of command is. Like drums in the deep, the orcs are coming.What should we do? Whether foreign enemies or domestic ones, whether illegal aliens or corrupt bureaucrats, the answer is the same.Arrests.The angry young men Trump just won over demand accountability. Without it, no economic boom, no culture war victory, no campaign slogan will hold them. Fail here and Republicans risk losing the House, neutering Trump’s presidency, and unleashing the very invasion already being planned.Those who shrug at the chain of command will happily discard the Declaration of Independence next. They will crush the laws of nature and nature’s God. They will trample the Creator’s endowments under a mob now warming up and waiting in the wings.There must be consequences. There must be arrests.

America’s highly compromised public finances require that it do everything to promote economic growth to help manage the debt burden.

Donald Trump shouldn’t imitate Joe Biden’s effort to federalize elections.

Instead, make it a priority to take advantage of it, since it’s not going anywhere.
