After four years of spending trillions on wasteful projects, and shoving anti-American DEI and CRT down America’s throats, and after nonstop attacks on democracy, Chuck Schumer calls for bipartisanship. Chuck Schumer didn’t just ask; he warned Republicans they must work with Democrats: “To my Republican colleagues: I offer a word of caution in good faith.

When you’re a cattle farmer, it’s a pretty routine life. You let the cows out into the pasture in the morning and bring them in at dinnertime. They get some hay, graze on the grass, and frolic happily — until the bull does something silly that requires a rescue. Before you watch the clip, we want you to know that the bull got out of his predicament, but it took some wrangling. You can watch the clip here. @taylorfabus Replying to @HelenaNevrowski Well, no surprise but the hubby is sore today Brutus probably is too!! #funny #viral #farmtol #hereford ♬ David Adam Byrnes Keep Up With A Cowgirl – David Adam Byrnes Now that you’ve watched Farmer Mitch the Bull Wrangler and Brutus square off, we will have some laughs because that’s how the Moo-mba rolls. Taylor Fabus, the video creator, replied to a comment, “We sometimes have to save them from their own bad decisions.” If that isn’t a truth bomb, we don’t know what it is! This was a terrible decision for Brutus. Image from TikTok. Brutus somehow got himself stuck in the middle of the round bale feeder. The heavy steel apparatus keeps a rolled hay bale in one spot for feeding. Brutus decided to wear it like a Halloween costume. Commenters alternately began calling Brutus a Tilt-A-Whirl, a Moo-mba, a new food truck named Moober Eats, a bumper car, or a turtle. The suggestions are hilarious. Image from TikTok. Trust me: the comment section is a rabbit hole. You will be there laughing until you cry. The Bull Rescue Efforts Were Successful No one knows how Brutus got into the feeder, but most suggest he went over the side like he was jumping a fence. After trying to get the animal to slow down long enough to figure out a solution, Farmer Mitch gave up and asked the vet for help. Image from TikTok. It took two tranquilizer darts and the efforts of Mitch and the vet to rescue the bull. Brutus had no injuries from his adventure, but Mitch didn’t fare as well. We think that “ride” should qualify Mitch for the rodeo circuit. Between chasing Brutus around the field and riding the bale feeder, Mitch got quite a workout. He may be rethinking his ownership of cattle. “Get some cows. It’ll be fun.” Please share if you laughed at Brutus’ follies. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

From helping locate an elderly dementia patient to finding a seven-year-old child taken at knifepoint, K9 Bo proves that he is worthy of this year’s “American Hero Dog” title. On November 08, the American Humane announced police dog Bo as the winner of the 14th annual American Humane Hero Dog Awards. Dr. Robin Ganzert, President and CEO of American Humane said, “We are so excited to name Bo as American Humane’s latest Hero Dog, a distinction that is well-deserved for him and his handler David.” “In a short time, Bo and David have done extraordinary work. As members of the Gastonia Police Department, the duo has worked tirelessly and saved many lives thanks to Bo’s courage and top-notch scent tracking skills. It’s these types of incredible stories about perseverance and dedication that this award aims to spotlight.” According to the American Humane Hero Dog Awards website, K9 Bo is a 17-month-old Bloodhound with the Gastonia Police Department. He has began his incredible journey with the Police Department in April 2023. And he underwent rigorous training before he began working as a police dog in October 2023. After he began his career, K9 Bo quickly proved that his skills were invaluable when he located an elderly dementia patient and an 11-year-old autistic child who had gone missing. Photo Credit: herodogawards.org “On a particularly cold January night in 2024, Bo showcased his extraordinary abilities by tracking a missing elderly patient over miles and through harsh conditions, ultimately finding them safe,” the American Humane reveals. Time and time again, Bo proves that he has extraordinary skills and despite heavy scent contamination, he can still track down robbery suspects. And while those were amazing achievements, those were not Bo’s most notable cases. The American Humane shares Bo’s “most touching moment” came in May of this year when he tracked and found a seven-year-old child who had been taken at knifepoint. The American Humane Hero Dog Awards website wrote, “Bo’s incredible work continues to bring joy and hope, making him a true hero and an inspiring presence in the Gastonia Police Department.” The American Humane Hero Dog Awards is an annual nationwide competition that searches for and recognizes America’s Hero dogs in five categories: Therapy Dogs; Service and Guide Dogs; Military Dogs; Law Enforcement and First Responder Dogs; and Shelter Dogs. After announcing the 25 nominees in September, the competitive public voting began, which helped narrow them to five finalists – one for each category. The four other finalists include: Dayo (Therapy Dog Category), Sampson (Service and Guide/Hearing Dog Category), K9 Niki (Military Category), Penny (Emerging Hero/Shelter Dog Category). The American Humane reveals that Bo, along with the other four finalists, will be honored at the 14th Annual American Humane Hero Dog Awards® and Gala in Palm Beach on January 08, 2025.
