...so the bears are getting fat and happy. Watch as the grizzers snag salmon at the falls and in the river backwaters, engage in a bit of play fighting (and sometimes real fighting), watch griz moms shepherd their cubs around, and watch the 800 lb. boars throw body language shade at each other.

It's that time again, folks! What time?? It's Fishin' Grizzlies time! At Katmai National Park in Alaska! Take a break from the world and watch grizzlies stuff themselves with salmon to get ready for hibernation. The salmon numbers are huge this year, it's the largest run in years...

This is absolutely right.

If the Epstein conspiracy theory makes people lose faith in Trump, go with it.

We desperately need a lot of young people who are not afraid of these threats to get involved as election judges and election watchers and workers and participate in the election process and show that we the people are stronger than the criminals currently in the government.

N.Y. Senator 'Misspoke' When She Falsely Claimed Zohran Mamdani Condoned 'Global Jihad' New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s office walked back her suggestion that the New York mayoral nominee had supported “global jihad.”

I remember when Gillibrand came across as utterly and pathetically clueless when she announced her 2020 presidential run on Colbert's The Late Show. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
