Hillary Gets Away With It? Let’s See — President Trump threw out an interesting bit at his rally last night (Aug.30) in Evansville, Ind.

It’s a dishonest group of people. I will tell you that.

The brown-headed cowbird is a rotten bird. They lay their eggs in the nests of other species and let them raise the chicks. If the other bird refuses, the cowbird comes back and destroys the nest forcing the building of a new one in which the cowbird again lays its egg.
