Wonderful video about the giant panda breeding center.

A million a year? Is there any deal we don’t give China the better side of?

Rest assured, there is a nice return for all of the panda merch sold by the Smithsonian.

If we aren’t smart enough by now to clone them after all this time of having access to their DNA, then shame on us.

We should have cloned the pandas. Then returned the original pandas to China. But our government isn't smart enough.

They should take back all the “students” and scientists the have sent here.

They should take back all the “students” and scientists the have sent here.

Instead, they are freely coming across what used to be known as our southern border.

Governor DeSantis could declare the Great State of Florida a panda sanctuary. That might be fun.

SQUIRREL!
Gee, is there anything more important going on in the District of Corruption?

[Alas Babylon!]

Yeah, ensuring the coming Trump jury pool has all the necessary haters.

[NautiNurse]

Too warm in Florida for pandas. We already have alligators, an elephant sanctuary, flamingos and the Florida panther.

SQUIRREL!

When dullards have a one track mind...

“clone them”

Now you are thinking like a billionaire.

Clone them and keep some for friends and family.

“any babies belong solely to China”

If our twenty one intelligence services can’t hide a few pandas in underground military bases they really need to be disbanded for gross incompetence and negligence.

“ The breakdown in U.S.-China relations is bamboozling many in the city. Norma Valentini, a 52-year-old registered nurse who grew up in D.C. visiting the pandas, is finding the farewell difficult to bear.”

Writers and editors today don’t even know what words mean.

If they want then back let them know that we will put them in shipping crates and deliver them to the gates of the Chinese embassy. They can arrange any additional shipping from that point on.

“We rent them for $1 million each a year....AND...any babies belong solely to China.”

with slight modification to apply to us in this Country:

We birth and rent them for $1 million each a year....AND...any babies belong solely to the State.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Biden is such a crappy President that China is taking our Panda bears.

[Carriage Hill]

Not to mention all the poisonous spiders and snakes.

[umbagi]

I’d rather feed the illegal aliens to the pandas…

[NautiNurse]

let them know that we will put them in shipping crates and deliver them to the gates of the Chinese embassy.

Good idea!

Not to mention all the poisonous spiders and snakes.

Florida only has six types of poisonous snakes: Copperhead (in the FL panhandle), Cottonmouth, and Coral, along with three versions of rattlers: Timber, Pygmy, Diamondback.
