I like to post bird photos because they don’t care about money, politics, jobs, etc. Being a bird would be sweet.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, damn, I’m so f*cking stupid.

Here is a White Throated Sparrow. My first ever.

California, as a country, would be the fourth largest economy on the planet. They absolutely should be suing the Trump administration for this tariff nonsense.

Trump’s economic stooges Bessent, Lutnick, Hassett. This show sucks. So very not funny. So unfair.

What it is like being on the stock market these days.

Here is a Chipping Sparrow

NOBODY wants a factory job! How stupid is our countries leadership? Shiz.

Are Kevin Hasset and Howard Lutnick absolute morons or what? Who is the third stooge?

Aww. Donny is offended by the CBS 60 Minutes broadcast of truth. What a hypocrite. #TheRealTruth

Here is a House Sparrow.

GREAT. Not so GREAT today.

Easter Rabbit is getting ready.

The real problem. We have become addicted to cheap foreign labor and services. Going down.

Have a tariffic day!

Sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something. What do you take for Trump Tariffs?

Here’s an observation. The store you frequent sells a product you love but it is foreign. What was once $10 is now $14. You decide to find a domestic product that is acceptable for $11. You and others start buying that. That company can’t produce enough to satisfy demand. Price goes up to $14.

The Trump economic plan: Phase 1: Tariffs Phase 2: ? Phase 3: Profit Simple, right?

Here is a Black Capped Chickadee.

Tariffs like these raise prices and don't work. But if you skipped class the day we all learned that – here's a refresher:

Look what I found in a box with some old documents.

Tariffs increase the cost of imported goods in an effort to level the playing field with domestic goods. Once this happens, the domestic producer raises their prices close to the imported goods price but marginally less to profit more. See how that works? The consumer, you, loses. House wins.

Looks like the world’s richest man can’t buy an election. You go Wisconsin!

Leavitt fired back, calling it "insulting" for Boak to try "to test [her] knowledge of economics and the decisions that [Trump] has made." Did not know she was an economist and not a Trump shill. Curious as to which economic discipline she is knowledgeable?

Here is a Northern Cardinal.

Not quite a hundred days and: The Canadians/Canadiens hate us. The Danes hate us. Our allies are looking at as sideways. People are being kidnapped off the street. Economy is in trouble. Stock market is down. A once admired auto brand is now reviled. I could go on but I’m out of characters.
