Not so long ago, the Roe v. Wade decision seemed like an ironclad precedent that would remain for all time. But on June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court did what the pro-life movement prayed for and leftists had issued apocalyptic warnings about for half a century -- Dobbs v. Jackson...

While walking in the park, Erin Stearns and her boyfriend heard a momma duck making a loud racket. Others kept on walking, ignoring the sound of obvious distress. Erin couldn’t ignore it, so the couple investigated. They discovered two ducklings stuck in an overflow drain, unable to get out. The momma duck was pleading for someone to rescue her babies. @erinnstearns The amount of people that walked right past this poor momma duck is crazy! We are lucky we had a big net to help these ducks #animalrescue #ducks ♬ original sound – ErinNStearns Unable to climb safely into the overflow, they realized they needed a net. Hurrying off, her boyfriend returned with a child’s butterfly net. That was too small, so he got a bigger net with a longer handle. Although that was the right tool for the duck rescue, it frightened the little ducklings. They kept swimming back into the drainpipe. Using patience, Erin’s boyfriend blocked the drainpipe entrance with the net. He was finally able to scoop the little ducklings into the net and lift them over the retaining wall of the overflow. As soon as they hit the water in the main pond, they hurried toward the center. Momma Duck was off to the side, keeping a wary eye on the rescue operation. Image from TikTok. She flew out to where her ducklings were, and the little family was reunited. Mallard ducks typically lay from eight to twelve eggs. This momma duck has already lost enough of her babies. We’re glad that Erin and her boyfriend could rescue the little ducks. Erin edited the original footage, adding some background information and more explanation of the duck rescue. @erinnstearns Part 2 of saving the ducks! #duckrescue #savinganimals #animalrescue ♬ Almost forgot that this was the whole point – Take my Hand Instrumental – AntonioVivald In addition to walking in the park and rescuing ducks, Erin has three hobbies: Growing plants, ceramics, and collecting seashells.

Every day, we see parents helping their children in public spaces. The same things happen with animals, although we don’t see them as often. When parents feed their kids sunflower seeds, they will crack the shell and offer the kernel to the child. It was by sheer luck that a Brookville, Florida, resident caught an endearing scene on their birdfeeder camera. A male cardinal is cracking the shell of a sunflower seed and feeding the kernel to a baby cardinal. @wfla8 EARLY BIRDS A WFLA viewer in Brooksville sent in a video captured this morning of a father cardinal shelling some sunflower seeds to feed to his baby. #florida #news #wfla #localnews #cardinal #wildlife ♬ original sound – WFLA News Channel 8 – WFLA News Channel 8 As you go about your day, you might see a million examples of a parent helping their child. A dad pushing his daughter on a swing, or a mom helping a toddler climb the short ladder to the slide. Parents open snack containers, they hold their child’s hand crossing streets, or carry them when they’re tired. As you witness these moments, think about this kind and gentle cardinal feeding his baby and smile. Cardinals mate for life, so if you frequently see an adult male in your yard, his mate is somewhere nearby. They don’t migrate, so you may see that striking red male against a white backdrop of snow on any given day. Cardinals seem to love sunflower seeds. Like many bird species, the male is the more brightly-colored of the pair. Female cardinals are rusty, reddish-brown with some red highlights. @katiekreen Have you ever wondered what a juvenile (fresh from the nest) cardinal looks like? Well, if so it’s your lucky day! Watch and find out…they are the cutest little goons ever. #fyp ♬ original sound – Ryan The female stays on the nest during incubation and when the baby cardinals hatch. The male gathers all the food and sustenance for the mated pair during that period. Once the baby cardinals fledge (learn to fly), both parents will accompany them on excursions and take an active role in feeding them. Consider adding sunflower seeds to your backyard feeder to attract cardinals. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

If there is fun to be had, most dogs want to join. This is especially true when their beloved human is involved. That is why so many of them get jealous when their human is giving their attention to, quite literally, anyone else but them. For example, a sweet pup may interrupt a couple’s hug because only they are allowed to get snuggles. This couple’s golden retriever, however, responds a bit differently. When Kaitlin Stark and her husband hug, their dog doesn’t bark like crazy. She also doesn’t wedge himself between the couple, forcing her way into the hug. Instead, she does something that adorably resembles hugging herself. Best of all, she does this so consistently, Kaitlin managed to capture it on camera! See for yourself in the adorable video below. @kaitlinstarkwrites WE LOVE OUR GIRL #goldenretriever #dogsoftiktok ♬ Almost forgot that this was the whole point – Take my Hand Instrumental – AntonioVivald “I guess you could say all the happiness sent her into a… tailspin,” someone hilariously points out in reply to Kaitlin’s popular video. Other commenters add, “Group hug now please” and “When she catches her tail she can achieve maximum spins.” This Adorable Golden Retriever’s Consistent Response to Mom and Dad Hugging is Nothing but Pure Joy TikTok There are plenty of reasons why a dog may chase their tail. While some of these reasons can be cause for concern, most of the time, it’s actually super positive, like they’re having fun or feel like being silly. In this case, Kaitlin’s golden retriever seems to be so full of love, she simply must join in by hugging herself! Oh, how we don’t deserve dogs… Speaking of wholesome dogs, have you seen the video of a massive Newfoundland giving their vet the biggest and best hug ever? There’s also this “then vs now” video of a golden retriever greeting their owner. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

This week, news emerged that the Trump administration has been setting new standards with regard to incoming immigrants. According to Axios, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will not take into account the “positive attributes” of migrants entering the country; such attributes can include community involvement and educational level. Instead of simply seeking to rule out those with records of misconduct, the new system seeks to screen for better immigrants—immigrants who will enrich America. Along the same lines, the USCIS will now disqualify applicants who engage in or support “anti-American activity.” As USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser explained, “America’s benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies. … Immigration benefits—including to live and work in the United States—remain a privilege, not a right.” Metrics for anti-Americanism include “circumstances where an alien has endorsed, promoted, supported, or otherwise espoused the views of a terrorist organization or group, including aliens who support or promote anti-American ideologies or activities, antisemitic terrorism and antisemitic terrorist organizations, or who promote antisemitic ideologies.” Shockingly, there are those who are concerned about such standards. Presumably, America can’t be truly free unless we allow in those who support terrorist groups; one day, if we’re lucky, they can even run for mayor of New York or congresswoman of Michigan. Such are the supposed blessings of liberty bestowed on foreigners by the free speech clause of our Constitution. Professor of sociology Jane Lilly Lopez of Brigham Young University told The Associated Press, “For me, the really big story is they are opening the door for stereotypes and prejudice and implicit bias to take the wheel in these decisions. That’s really worrisome.” This, of course, ignores that there are evidentiary standards for any allegations of anti-Americanism; skin color or country of origin wouldn’t presumably be enough to bar someone on grounds of anti-Americanism. But for the Left, the only excuse for a pro-American ideology must be some form of subtle racism. Meanwhile, Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, objected that the new standards were reminiscent of McCarthyism. This ignores the fact that during the Cold War, America did in fact screen for membership in the Communist Party under the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, and that refugees and immigrants were screened by American law enforcement agencies to ensure that they were not agents of a foreign power or sympathetic to America’s enemies. Undergirding all of these objections is a simple and ugly proposition: that becoming an American requires no actual investment in America, and that America ought to be a gigantic agglomeration of dissociated populations. Such a proposition would have been de facto impossible before the rise of the welfare state; people immigrating to the United States generally left places with greater security for an America without security but with grand opportunity, which meant that new immigrants had to learn English, learn a trade, and embrace the Anglo-American cultural and legal traditions of the country in order to succeed. With the rise of an enormous and durable social safety net, the math suddenly changed: People could immigrate to the United States without assimilating in any serious way, and could maintain their pre-American cultures in toto. Multiculturalism, as a philosophy, can only survive if effectuated by a state that subsidizes fragmentation. That process must now be reversed. And that can only be done by raising the bar to admission. Good immigrants make America stronger. Bad immigrants make it weaker. Treating all immigrants similarly isn’t just foolish; it’s dangerous. And the Trump administration is right for recognizing that root reality. COPYRIGHT 2025 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.
