go!

            Cardinals are really hard to catch in flight because they have a tendency to flit rather than fly, and they are really fast. There's no soaring, or leisurely flapping of the wings. They are either flying as fast as they can, or they are stopped. Even on long flights between trees, they beat their wings, then fold them and let themselves drop, then beat them again. 

I posted this a long time ago, but I cropped and enhanced it a little to bring out his face. Besides, the only person who saw it before who is still around probably won't mind seeing it again..

So the January 6th Investigative Committee / Clown Show is about to announce their "findings" and recommend that the "Justice" Department move forward with several charges against President Trump. I know - shocker, right? 

After nearly two years of tireless investigation, they are going to release their final statement - just before being disbanded, of hopefully better yet, replaced with a new January 6th Investigative Committee who would look at all the "evidence" and come to the polar opposite conclusion, and rescind that statement. It should take about as long as the original committee should have taken - about an hour, since we already know what the conclusion will be. We've all seen the blatant partisanship and hatred of the original committee, and we've known from the beginning what their "conclusion" was going to be. 

There was no need, and no point in dragging everyone through this kabuki theater Stalinist show trial. And no need to go through it all again, just to make it look legitimate, because the facts don't matter to the Trump-haters. They never have. It's never really been about Trump. It's always been about controlling the public, and the threat Trump represents to that control.
