He portrayed his political phenomenon as a unifying one, as opposed to the vitriolic, partisan warfare he engaged in throughout his presidency.

When Biden's election victory was announced, I was overjoyed.
Today, while Biden was taking his oath of office, I expected the same feelings ... perhaps to a lesser extent because this time there was no happy surprise involved - only what the election victory predicted was completed here.
...
But nothing of the sort happened. Yes, I did notice a tiny joy and a faint feeling of satisfaction. But more than that, I felt a great emptiness, even sadness.

I remember this kind of thing happening after a lot of effort. A long struggle is coming to an end, one in which I participated internally. The strength has been used up - the goal has been achieved.
One must first sink into the new reality.

It's just a little joy, but it's quiet and deep.

Pileated woodpeckers are the largest species of woodpecker in North America. They would be second to the ivory billed woodpecker, although sadly, it is now believed to be extinct. The pileated is a giant bird that feed on insects burrowed into rotting trees and logs. It uses its keen sense of hearing to detect grubs and beets beneath the wood. Once it locates its prey, it hammers with its powerful beak to uncover and devour the insects. They actually play a vital role in the health of many forests, keeping the population of destructive insects in check.
...
A pileated woodpecker can be heard for miles as it beats loudly on hollow trees to announce its presence and dominance to other woodpeckers. They are territorial and this display is meant to keep rivals from entering their feeding or breeding area.

A pileated woodpecker grows to an incredible 49cm in height (19inches). It is a heavy bird, weighing up to 300g (2/3 lb). They are also known to eat fruits and berries, including the berries of the poison ivy plant. They will also eat ants in large quantities when the colonies are found in dead trees.

It is true they are territorial as outside my window, lots of woods, fallen trees, rotting logs, and hear (Ruby, named it)and can be heard often, more in spring, summer, fall, loud pecking sounds, view it through binoculars many times. Many birds here as there is a Town protected wet lands water bay really close and many animals go there. Spring and early winter, HUGE flocks of ducks fly right over our house and go to this preserve and settling around it. many time a hoard of wild turkeys just come traveling through our back property, quail,come on by, raccoons come to be fed cat food, etc. Chipmunks come for seed we through out all year, and one day a mamma black bear and a baby were captured on camera by are (also gun totting neighbors) and just took pics and handed them out to people around us was pretty cool actually. I get worried cuss she crossed the street and the baby has to jump over our stone wall and cross the road, maybe she is marking her territory. My sperm donor of a missing dad, I heard was attached by a black bear when building this house in 1973, but got scratched deep but recovered. So stay away from the black bear, brown bears are less aggressive that Blacks ones. so.

Medical tyranny in New York!

"Apparently, a judge just ordered the Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital to allow an 80-year old woman to be treated with Ivermectin. According to the family and attorney, the treatment saved the life of Judith Smentkiewicz. Although not yet approved, according to court documents, the woman’s daughter referred to it as a “miracle drug,” as do her attorneys, Ralph C. ... Lorigo and Jon F. Minear. Apparently, a doctor ordered the drug off-label in the intensive care unit (ICU), and as she improved, more than likely due to the drug, she was moved to another unit, and the doctor there stepped in and disallowed the use of the drug. Family members immediately involved lawyers and legal action to resume treatment. The New York Supreme Court Judge Henry J. Nowak aligned with the family..."
