 This is Eunice Pidgey Pants. My daughters boss found this pigeon in the parking lot at her job. They put it in a box and for days she was begging me to help it.

 Since im a complete fucking sucker...i finally agreed.

 When it arrived, it had a fractured leg with a nasty gash and a small tear in the crop. Pidgey was not doing good. Its been a while since ive tended to birds...domestic or feral. And ive never had a pigeon so this is my first pigeon.

 Luckily i know a few things about avain anatomy. I cleaned the gash and used triple antibiotic ointment and i use wooden coffee stirs and med tape to make a bird cast.

 When she got here she hadnt been standing..just resting on her belly. So her entire backside was covered...i mean COVERED and CAKED in bird shit. It took a while to clean her.

 I also disinfected and used medi glue on the small tear in the crop 

 We are on week 4. Shes out of her cast and using her legs. Her crop healed. And shes doing wonderfully.

 Im torn on releasing her....at least during the winter. So we may just host this feral bird until spring. Or we will keep it. We will see how it goes.

 She eats, drinks and baths herself which is great because for the first week i had to feed her manually and use a dropper to keep her hydrated.

 Shes a silly, spicey and friendly little bird. I keep forgetting shes feral.
Raising pigeons used to be a popular pastime in Taiwan.

Canada's federal income tax brackets are changing in 2026.

Mark Carney's so-called "middle-class tax cut" introduced in the spring proposed dropping the federal income tax from 15 per cent to 14 per cent for the lowest tax bracket.

In 2025, that lowest bracket covered the first $57,375 of taxable income.

In 2026, the lowest income tax bracket will cover the first $58,523 of income.

The second level of tax bracket in 2025 applied a tax rate of 20.5 per cent to the portion of income that falls between $57,375 and $114,750. In 2026, that bracket and rate will cover the portion of income between $58,523 and $117,045.

The third-tiered tax bracket in 2025 applied a rate of 26 per cent to income between $114,750 and $177,882. That bracket in 2026 will cover the portion of income between $117,045 and $181,440.

The fourth tax bracket covered income between $177,882 and $253,414 in 2025, applying a tax rate of 29 per cent. In 2026, that rate will cover the portion of income between $181,440 and $258,482.

The highest income tax bracket in 2025 applied a tax of 33 per cent to the portion of income exceeding $253,414. In 2026, that rate will apply to the portion of income above $258,482.

For all of human history, the four-stage debt cycle has remained the same: Discipline leads to economic prosperity; prosperity creates complacency; complacency tees up excessive spending; excessive spending turns into debt, which reaches a breaking point, necessitating discipline and restarting the cycle.

This has been true for every great empire the world has ever seen.

While the rise and fall of nations is nothing new, what is happening right now in global economics, says Glenn Beck, is indeed new — and it should terrify everyone.

I haven't seen this video by Glenn Beck yet myself.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/minnesota-state-government-employees-say-they-wrote-to-kamala-harris-dnc-warning-about-walz-as-vp-pick/ar-AA1RvpfT?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=692df1be0ec2418e961a1c71bc65c8f1&ei=29
A group of Minnesota state government employees said they wrote to former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) multiple times "warning them" about Gov. Tim Walz and what they described as his "incompetence, fraud scandals and retaliation."

"We tried our best to keep the public informed as our tweets are public. Maybe Kamala Harris turned a blind eye to fraud like her running mate?," the Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account — which says it represents more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota Department of Human Services — posted on X.

"Over the years, our messages have not changed. We need fraud to stop in Minnesota and good governance to be restored," it added.

Neither the DNC nor Harris' team immediately responded to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.

A post from the group on X in September 2024 replied directly to Harris' account, explaining that Walz has "caused incredible harm to our state & agencies, [and] retaliated against whistleblowers against fraud."

Minnesota is currently at the center of a widening fraud scandal as federal prosecutors continue to unravel scandals, including one of the nation's largest COVID-era fraud cases.

The Justice Department announced new charges last week against the 78th defendant in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme, which prosecutors say involved more than $300 million in stolen funds from a federally-funded child nutrition program and has already resulted in over 50 convictions. Many of the individuals charged come from Minnesota's Somali community.

The New York Times reported that what initially appeared to many Minnesotans as an isolated case of pandemic-era fraud has broadened into a much wider concern for state and federal officials.

The Times reported that over the past five years, according to law enforcement authorities, several fraud schemes proliferated in parts of Minnesota's Somali community. A number of individuals allegedly created companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars' worth of social services that were never delivered.


I hope Tim Walz is charged.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on December 03, 2025, 08:29:58 AMFlaming =/= Trolling

Back in the day I often had "Trollsbane" as part of my nym because the only demographic flamers liked to insult more than each other was trolls.

I know, I know... definitions evolve and that word 'flaming' does not mean what you think it means (inconceivable!) but I felt I had to throw that out there just to put it on the record. Again. LoL
You are not the first person to defend flaming.
