It’s not just birds of a feather who flock together! Australian diners were surprised to see an emu and a pelican befriend one another in the waters just outside a Coffin Bay eatery. 7NEWS Adelaide shared a delightful video of the encounter on social media. It’s incredible to see these two very different animals hanging out together! @7newsadelaide In an unusual treat for South Australian wildlife lovers, an inquisitive emu has made friends with a pelican at Coffin Bay. 7NEWS ♬ original sound – 7NEWSAdelaide – 7NEWSAdelaide In the rare clip, an emu decided to take a dip while a pelican was swimming nearby. Although emus aren’t water birds, 7NEWS says that these critters can sometimes be found bathing in the natural springs around Coffin Bay. So, it wasn’t completely unheard of for one of these animals to seek out some aquatic refreshment. However, we bet they weren’t expecting to make a friend! When the emu entered the body of water, though, they quickly found themselves accompanied by a pelican. As the larger bird waded near the shore, the other swam around them. At one point, it almost seemed like the emu was following the pelican’s lead! How cute are these two? Screengrab from TikTok We’re not sure how long this unlikely friendship lasted, but it was still really cool to see these creatures getting to know one another. 9News Adelaide shared a slightly longer video on Facebook of the pair enjoying their peaceful bath. In this clip, the two could be seen getting quite close to one another as they both relaxed in the shallow water. “If anyone can make friends with an emu, a peli-can,” joked one person in the comments section. This isn’t the only time a pelican has made an unexpected friend, though. Apparently, one man in Lebanon became besties with one of these birds after rescuing them. Now, they swim together all the time! Nature never ceases to surprise us. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

But this abandoned house in the remote Northern Neck peninsula of Virginia may take the cake for creepiness.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A coalition of Republican lawmakers wants to investigate how much federal funding goes to abortion providers including Planned Parenthood. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, House Pro-Life Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Chris Smith, Rep. Robert Aderholt, and Rep. Claudia Tenney led a bicameral letter to the U.S. Government Accountability Office requesting a report on federal funding for abortion providers between fiscal year 2022 and 2024. This comes one day after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will head President-Elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency, said DOGE will help “end federal overspending” by cutting expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended, including “nearly $300 million to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood.” Smith said he hopes the requested report will help Musk and Ramaswamy defund Planned Parenthood. “We look forward to working with them in the ongoing effort to stop American taxpayer dollars from funding the abortion industry,” Smith told The Daily Signal. “We have high expectations and great confidence that they’ll do that.” The coalition of 112 Congress members request reports on the federal funding that goes to Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates, International Planned Parenthood Federation, MSI Reproductive Choices, federally qualified health centers, and four domestic abortion providers, according to the letter shared with The Daily Signal. GAOreportrequestDownload “It is our hope that this report will provide greater insight as Congress considers funding levels and provides increased transparency and openness for our constituencies and the general public,” says the letter signed by 81 House members and 31 senators. The Government Accountability Office has responded to several Congressional requests with prepared reports on federal funding for abortion organizations. The most recent report revealed that the abortion industry had received almost $2 billion in federal taxpayer dollars between fiscal years 2019-2021. The letter asks for the report to detail Planned Parenthood’s federal obligations, disbursements, and the expenditures of federal funds by each of the organizations; reported obligations, disbursements, and expenditures by program from federal agencies other than HHS; the funding sources for federal agencies and programs associated with these federal funds; how these funds were made available; and reported obligations, disbursements, and expenditures for the top 15 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services programs. During the Biden-Harris administration, Planned Parenthood received a record $750 million of taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile, it performed a record 392,000 abortions between Oct. 1, 2021, and Sept. 30, 2022. Roughly one-third of Planned Parenthood’s total income comes from the federal government. Planned Parenthood Federation of America did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment about its use of federal funding. The lawmakers request the report in a timely manner and ask for an estimated completion timeline. “Proper oversight of public funds and programs is crucial for determining the value of the goods and services provided to and funded by American taxpayers,” the letter says. “The information sought in this inquiry is instrumental for policymakers and the public alike.” The post EXCLUSIVE: GOP Lawmakers Call for Accountability on Federal Funding for Abortion Giants appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Over half of registered voters approve of how President-elect Donald Trump is doing, with Hispanic and younger voters driving his increased popularity, according to a new poll.   Of the 52% who approve of Trump, 31% said they “strongly approve” and 21% said they “somewhat approve,” according to the survey commissioned by Napolitan News Service.  The poll found that 43% of voters disapprove of Trump’s performance so far, with 34% saying they “strongly disapprove” and 9% saying they “somewhat disapprove.”  Five percent of those surveyed said they were “not sure” or neutral.   Veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen’s RMG Research Inc. conducted the online survey Monday and Tuesday, speaking to 1,000 registered voters with varying demographics and political affiliations. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.   The survey found that 59% of Hispanic voters approve of Trump. Of them, 26% said they “strongly approve.”   Hispanic voters traditionally have leaned Democratic. But in the 2024 presidential election, a greater percentage of Hispanics—though still not a majority—voted for Trump than during his past two races, The Daily Signal previously reported.    A total of 55% of younger Americans aged 18-35 approve of Trump, the survey found, with 30% saying they “strongly approve” and 25% saying they “somewhat approve.”   In the Nov. 5 election, young Americans 18 to 29 were the age group with the highest support for the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, according to TuftsNow.   Napolitan’s survey results suggest that a majority of younger voters now appear to favor Trump. Of the 44% who said they disapprove of him, however, 29% said they “strongly disapprove.”   Trump recently has resonated with voters on certain cultural issues such as whether men should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, according to the New York Post. Such issues may have won Trump voters in swing states, the newspaper reported.   Many Hispanic voters tend to cite economic issues as top concerns, which potentially led to their increased support for Trump this year, according to Reuters.   The post Trump Approval Rating Tops 50%, Thanks to Younger Voters, Hispanics  appeared first on The Daily Signal.
