Yesterday was supposed to be the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC, where members of the Press get together to celebrate the First Amendment and jocularly "roast" the President and other members of his administration. Since 2015, when Donald Trump first ran for President, that group has turned from a friendly group into a pathological …
So many great animal posts came out this week that I just had to share them.

Despite all the gory news and tyrannical governments oppressing their citizens, there are always some good news and heartwarming stories out there.
