PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. — An Arizona resident was surely surprised to find a wild bobcat snuggling in a doggie bed after returning home from work. The Arizona Game and Fish Department posted pictures Tuesday of the cozy bobcat recently found lounging inside the San Manuel residence. The bobcat is suspected of gaining entrance through an unlocked doggie door and managed to escape before an officer could arrive to retrieve the animal, the agency said. Anyone else who may find a bobcat residing in their home is encouraged to contact AZGFD at 623-236-7201. More information on living around Arizona's bobcats can be found here (Tweet/Photos)

Doggie doors are a truly stupid idea. You cannot control what may come through them and it may cost you your life.

All sorts of things can gain access via the doggie door…gators, snakes, bobcats, etc.

He just wanted a comfy place to sleep for a few hours. They are lucky a skunk didn't wander in through the doggy door.

“…… a wild bobcat snuggling in a doggie bed after returning home from work.” Curious to know where the bobcat worked and what it did at work.

Clearly #6 didn’t read of the heroic Chihuahua who, upon hearing of the fire at the Vet’s clinic rushed in when it realized there was a vet tech inside who had not yet had his face bitten.

My first house had a doggie door (big enough for the previous owner's dalmation) into the screened in porch. One afternoon, my yard guy showed me how reached through the locked doggie door to open the door to the porch to plug in his electric weed wacker. I've never liked doggie doors since.

Well, calling the cops is a helluva way to treat a nice furry cat, who looked too sleepy to cause any trouble.

He found a really nice place to sleep. Our cat is a stray that selected us, over a period of months. He decided that he liked living indoors more than outdoors after becoming friendly. And when I brought an old cat bed from storage, he acted as if he had discovered nirvana. Immediately he began "making biscuits" in the bed and then curling up. After that, every time he came inside, he headed for the bed and curled up, clearly very pleased with the bed, and started spending the night indoors. I could see a bobcat doing the same thing. "Oh, what a great place to sleep!" running through it's mind. But, a bobcat is NOT going to be a pet, ever. Good that the bobcat is gone, it could have been a bad scene for everyone.

I was sitting in a ground blind. A momma bob cat came right by me - I could have reached out and patted her on the head (I didn't really want to get my face ripped off). But behind her were her two kittens and they were trying to kill each other. It was a ball of thunder. I let them pass as well and enjoyed the show.

Re #13, while hunting mule deer in Wyoming, as you were, sitting in a ground "blind"....just a place with some brush around and a tree to rest my back against....a lynx slipped in and took a look at me. A close, long look from about 10 ft. I'll never forget the pink eraser nose and big ear tufts, and those yellow eyes looking placidly directly at me. Neither one of us moved for about 1 full minute, which seemed like a lot longer. Then he blinked and walked off as silently as he had slipped up. Magnificent creature. And officially there are no lynxes in Wyoming. But, that's kinda like a lot of states that "don't have any mountain lions", too. The mountain lions and lynxes don't check in with the Fish and Game folks, they just sneak around making a living and hiding out, occasionally seen by the lucky few who go very quietly in wild places.

Joe Biden's new budget plan, released on Thursday, is light on initiatives for dealing with the drug crisis sweeping the county but heavy on gender politics, according to a new analysis. Biden mentioned 'equity' 63 times in the document, Fox News found - more than double the references to the word 'border'. The word 'fentanyl' was only mentioned twice.The word 'transgender' featured eight times, and 'queer' seven times - but the word 'opioids' was mentioned four times. 'Equity', a key focus, was mentioned in the context of racial equity, equal access to healthcare, and equity for veterans.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s authoritarian reaction to the airing of previously unseen footage from the January 6, 2021 chaos at the U.S. Capitol when he called for Fox News to stomp on host Tucker Carlson has drawn much criticism as well as an epic bit of trolling from billionaire Twitter owner Elon Musk. The New York Democrat denounced the conservative network for allowing Carlson to air the bombshell footage that undercut the official establishment narrative of the so-called “insurrection” with the public getting its first chance to see how the day’s events were misleadingly portrayed to justify a federal government crackdown on supporters of former President Donald J.

President Joe Biden’s budget asks for more money to help deliver more legal, quasi-legal, and illegal migrants into the jobs and homes needed by Americans. Biden’s budget asks for money to hire 500 extra border guards who catch migrants — and money to hire 460 more people to release the migrants so they can travel to jobs and housing. The Democrats’ budget asks for a $4.7 billion “contingency fund” to operate the existing network of non-profit groups, shelters, training courses, travel routes, and healthcare checks which get low-wage migrants into the jobs that would otherwise go to better-paid Americans.

For forty-five years (1964 to 2009), the United States experienced significant progress in race relations. Thanks to the efforts of individual citizens in their communities throughout all regions of the country, this nation was well on its way to racial healing. In 2008 only 18% of Americans were greatly concerned or worried about the state of race relations in the country as nearly 70% thought that relations between Whites and Blacks were very or somewhat good. In 2009, the most divisive and societally destructive president in American history, Barack Obama, came into office determined to reverse this trend by manipulating the Black citizenry into abandoning racial harmony by utilizing

There is no way to avoid this moment. The formal letter of apology. From me. To Conservatives and to those who “put America first” everywhere. It’s tempting to sweep this confrontation with my own gullibility under the rug — to “move on” without every acknowledging that I was duped, and that as a result I made mistakes in judgement, and that these mistakes hurt millions of other people like you all, in existential ways. (Snip) The proximate cause of this letter of apology is the airing, two nights ago, of excepts from tens of thousands of hours of security camera footage from the United States Capitol taken on Jan 6, 2021.

Jenna Ellis, an attorney who advised then-President Donald Trump as he tried to overturn the 2020 election results, was censured for misconduct Wednesday by a Colorado Supreme Court judge. The Colorado Supreme Court’s Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel said that Ellis violated a Colorado rule for professional conduct that prohibits “misrepresentation” by attorneys. The office said Ellis made a series of public statements about the 2020 election that were false. “The public censure in this matter reinforces that even if engaged in political speech, there is a line attorneys cannot cross, particularly when they are speaking in a representative capacity,” the office said in a statement.

President Joe Biden released his budget on Thursday, vowing to cut $3 trillion from the federal deficit over the next decade, in part, by levying a 25% minimum tax on the wealthiest Americans. Biden also raises more revenue by increasing taxes on oil and gas companies, hiking the corporate tax rate to 28%, up from 21% imposed under former President Donald Trump but below the 35% tax pre-2017, and allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. With Biden likely to run for re-election in 2024, his budget is also a preview into his platform as a candidate and campaign pitch in the year ahead.
