Without a doubt, our best trail camera capture yet: the first documented observation of a cougar with kittens in Minnesota in modern history. Turn up the volume to hear all the vocalizations.

The footage, which was captured on March 25, shows a cougar with 3 large kittens while they feed on a deer they killed just south of Voyageurs National Park.

We captured this surreal footage because we started a study to understand the survival and mortality patterns of deer in our area this winter. As part of that work, we GPS-collared several deer in the area in January. 

In late March, we received a mortality signal from a GPS-collared deer and found the carcass buried under a pile of leaves on a hillside—a tell tale sign of feline predation. 

We suspected it was likely a bobcat but thought, just possibly, it could be a cougar. So we put up two trail cameras on the cached deer carcass and 4 hours later, two cougar kittens returned to the kill.

The entire family showed up that evening and spent hours in front of our cameras. In total, we captured 7.3 hr (435 minutes) of video footage of these animals. We will share more footage soon!

Huge thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for supporting the Voyageurs Wolf Project and the recent effort to understand deer survival in the area. Their support was critical to this observation—without it, we would never have captured this footage.

And huge thanks to the >10,600 donors who have supported our project and enabled us to purchase trail cameras supplies. The cameras (and batteries, SD cards, mounts) we set at this kill were purchased with funds from donations.

Puttering around the house is an underrated form of self-care. Make some tea or coffee. Put on a podcast. Sort the mail. Tidy some pillows and fold some blankets. Start the laundry. Thaw some soup. Just casually wander around aimlessly doing little things to make your space and life a little nicer. Who cares if you get distracted or only do a little? You aren't being productive. You're puttering.

I'm not doing much business in Minneapolis because I'm avoiding these rioters.

If our economy is hurting because of illegals not going to work or opening their business, then we have a false economy in Minnesota. It means that everything has been powered by taxes/theft of the people of Minnesota.

I still can't get over the situation in Minnesota.

They fucking imported 100,000 Somali's.
Nobody in the fucking government questioned it.

They put them all on SNAP and Welfare.
Nobody in the fucking government stopped it.

They gave them fake fucking daycare centers.
Nobody in the fucking government verified it.

They gave Ilhan Omar $30 Million of my dollars.
Nobody in the government fucking investigated it.

They created no-go zones in the United States.
Nobody in the government did a fucking thing.

The same fucking government won't pass the SAVE Act to protect our elections.

The same fucking government that Insider Trades and gets rich without term limits.

Fuck your white neighborhoods.
Fuck your voter ID laws.
Fuck your tax dollars.
Fuck your security.
Fuck your safety.

Fuck your nuclear family that could own a home, two cars, raise 3 kids, live on a single income, and have a stay at home mother.

They fucking took that from you and gave it to 3rd world retards.

This government fucking robbed us.
This government fucking hates us.

Who exactly are you fucking working for?
Because it clearly isn't working for me.

the average woman in the late 00s/early 10s did not look like a scene girl straight out of myspace, there’d be 6-7 of them at most per city that would hang outside shopping centres and get bullied into oblivion for how they dressed and for having eating disorders be real

If I went to a foreign country and over stayed my visa I would not be surprised one bit if at some point local law enforcement arrested me and sent me back to the USA

I would also find it bizarre and weird if the locals in that country were protesting law enforcement, cussing them out, and impeding their operations in order to keep me from leaving

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

Making a random guy in a Suburban explain himself and open his trunk to verify he's not an ICE agent, then intimidating him into groveling about how much he 'respects what they're doing' as they stand there and lecture him on what kind of car he needs to rent to not be 'targeted' by their mob -- these are actual brownshirt tactics.

This is what real fascism looks like.

If this guy hadn't been this conciliatory and cooperative -- as was his absolute right, he doesn't owe these morons ANY explanation -- you can bet they'd have escalated into a physical altercation and likely destroyed his car.

These are the 'good guys' according to Democrats.

[TheDivineMissM 🇺🇸🇸🇪🇧🇷 @LibertyMarieEP]

I keep thinking about my friend's parents who had a shop downtown in St. Cloud. I'm not sure if they've retired yet.

Their daughter told me that a group of 6–12 Somali men would stand in front of brick-and-mortar stores downtown and intimidate customers trying to enter. Eventually, the store loses enough business and closes. Within a month, a Somali business occupies the space.

They use similar criminal tactics for other parts of society. With bars and grills, they call the police repeatedly until the place loses its license. Within a couple of months, a mosque opens there.

As far as I'm concerned, there are no methods harsh enough to remove these people.
