#photography #birds Yellow Warbler that would not turn around before flying away, the Nashville warbler back for another bath, and a brown headed Cowbird. Evidently Robins can find a Cowbird’s egg and get rid of it from their nests.🇨🇦

#photography#birds A Scarlet Tanager giving itself a wash in my Russian Olive tree.

#Blossom: Crabapple blossom in my backyard. More birds are coming.🇨🇦

Just so you know, this is my backyard fishpond in Cabbagetown, in downtown Toronto. The fountain is an old granite chinese rice grinder. A great bird bath. The birds love it. This is where many of my bird pics are taken🇨🇦

#Birds: I started the pond last weekend. The neighbourhood birds were waiting, as were the warblers. Here are a few. Haven’t been through my warbler book yet for ID🇨🇦

#trump: so the Trumpian tin pot dictatorship a.k.a. Gilead is well on its way to boiling the frog of the USA without said frog jumping out of its pot of lukewarm Trump spit and stopping the bastards in their cooking. The world awaits a saviour.

@rozesall.bsky.social here is an article by Dan Yashinsky that you might like.

#Trump: so Stephen Miller, the Goebbels clone, is now the National Security Advisor. Echoes of the National Socialist something or other which Miller’s predecessor espoused. Oh well! Off to war we go…🐀🐀🤡🪓🐀🐀🪓

#trump: sorry, I said I was staying away from this. Trump is keeping Kilmar Abrego d’arcia in prison for life in San Salvatore for arguing with his wife. What about rape convictions for the US president. his disregard for women and people who are not billionaires. He is a pig. He is your president.🇨🇦

#spring: I am staying out of politics for now. I can’t think about trump without throwing up. So I await better weather and the return of birds to photograph. Thank you all. Bob

trump: your president is just playing mind over matter. Prices are going up. Tariffs are paid by the american consumer. Trump doesn’t mind, and Americans don’t matter.🤡🪓think about it!

#trump: just a nasty old guy with dementia who should not be president of the country beneath Canada.🦨🐀🤡🪓🦨🐀🇨🇦just my opinion.

#trump: Trump says that China came begging for talks about tariff amounts. China says it ain’t happening. No talks and essentially bilateral trade is dead. Who do you believe? My gut says it’s not Trump.🤡🪓🇹🇷

#trump: I have had just about all I can take with this man’s sheer ignorance. Let the powers that be around the world just ignore his ramblings. Media too. Just shut him down. Maybe he will go away. My blood pressure is too high.🦨🤡🪓🐀🇨🇦

#trump: trying to fire Mr. Powell, head of the Fed. Trump has no control over the Fed. He is just making the progress toward a recession more certain. Also Trump says that the USA has made billions from tariffs. US TAXPAYERS pay the tariffs. Nobody ELSE pays tariffs. He is lying to Americans.🤡🪓🐀

#trump: with the massive tariffs with China pretty much everything that Americans buy day to day will not be in your stores. $4,000 for an iPhone; $300 for a tshirt. China is a dictatorship. USA is still a (for now) democracy. China can outlast trumps tariffs. Few Chinese will demur. 🤡🪓🏴‍☠️

#trump tariffs: the braintrust at the White House do realize that when there is a sell off of US Treasury bills it means that nobody wants to hold US debt unless they charge more interest. They are telling the public the opposite. They are lying.🤡🪓🏴‍☠️good luck Americans.🇨🇦

Trump tariffs: he is sitting with his stooges Hegseth and Rubio talking about how much money USA has made from tariffs. Question is who has paid the billions of dollars in tariffs. I can tell you. Americans pay the tariffs. China just sends their produce. US Customer pays for item and tariff.🤡🪓🏴‍☠️

:Trump tariffs: Americans still seem to believe that it is the country which exports to the USA which pays the tariff. They are being lied to. Goods from China will increase in price which will cost the US consumer. Socks, shirts, phones, everything made by China will cost more.🤡🪓🏴‍☠️good luck folks.
