the other day. It was no more than 20' away from me. Pretty exciting. I'm in Minnesota. Bald eagles are everywhere around the Twin Cities.

Used to see a lot of eagles every day. They're all along the Mississippi in that area.

They had an eagle's nest in one of their trees. Every year, it was occupied. It was amazing to watch.

and they get fat on the dead chickens and fish hatcheries. They roost in the trees and because we are close to the lake, we see them circling the water.

I love all the wintering birds that come here. We are in a migration path.

3. It's An Eagle Conclave To Determine What They Are Going To Do To Save Our Democracy....

They are the symbol of the United States of America and Democracy.

They know that it's being threatened and that if it fails - they lose their meaning.

So Uncle Sam, the eagle TFG had a previous run in, decided to gather a Conclave of eagles to discuss and make a decision as to what to do to Save Our Democracy.

Let's hope that they came up with a good plan.



Uncle Sam knows what he is doing. TFG should really be pooping his pants right about now.

That clip never gets old.

I'd personally offer this as Exhibit 1: Eagles can size up any Trumper (including Trump himself) in a New York minute.

Let the conclave begin!
