Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates to include mass murderers and child killers. The only three federal inmates to remain on death row have elevated charges of hate crimes (means they’re white).

Thomas Sanders shot a twelve year old girl four times and slit her throat after he killed her mother and Kaboni Savage orchestrated the murders of twelve people, including four children, during his time as a Philadelphia drug lord but they didn’t hate anyone so they get to live.

SHEESH!! I thought this was done centuries ago, but noooo, it was only a "National Symbol". Personally, I'm with Ben Franklin as I've seen many instances of eagles swiping food from hard-working ospreys...

Hmmmm, that is indicative of a government that likes to swipe tax monies...

Bald eagle officially declared US national bird after 250 years​


The bald eagle is now officially the national bird of the US, after President Joe Biden signed a law on Christmas Eve bestowing the honour upon the white-headed and yellow-beaked bird of prey.

The bird has been a national emblem in the US for years, appearing on the Great Seal of the US - used on US documents - since 1782.

But it had not been officially designated to be the national bird until Congress passed the bill last week, sending it to Biden's desk to be signed.

"For nearly 250 years, we called the bald eagle the national bird when it wasn't," said Jack Davis, co-chair of the National Bird Initiative for the National Eagle Center, in a statement. "But now the title is official, and no bird is more deserving."

Not everyone has always agreed about the national status of the bald eagle.

Founding Father Benjamin Franklin objected to the creature being chosen to represent the country, calling it a "bird of bad moral character".

But not all of Congress shared Franklin's sentiments.

Bald eagles, like other eagles worldwide, had been seen by many as symbols of strength, courage, freedom and immortality for generations, according to the US Department of Veteran Affairs. And, unlike other eagles, the bald eagle was indigenous only to North America.

The legislation designating the bald eagle as the national bird was spearheaded by Minnesota lawmakers. The state is home to what Senator Amy Klobuchar described as one of the nation's largest bald eagle populations.

The bald eagle is also protected under the National Emblem Act of 1940, which makes it illegal to sell or hunt the creature.

The birds were once on the brink of extinction, but the population has greatly increased since 2009.

No big deal. I just have this thing with noticing European spelling in a lot of supposed local articles. Especially scammers like Chinese can’t help but leave words out. When you read it, it even sounds like a Chinese accent. I believe the Turkey was the first to be considered (smart, stealthy). Not like a carrion eating type vulture type.
