The Wolf, the Bear, and the People in Suits

Somewhere out in the wild, a wolf and a bear decided to do the unthinkable — cooperate.

Not tolerate. Not coexist.

Actually work together.

Two apex predators who, by all logic, should’ve been tearing each other apart, instead hunted side by side.

Meanwhile, back in Washington…

Our leaders can’t even agree on lunch.

Here’s what gets me — if two wild animals, hardwired for dominance and survival, can look at each other and think, “Hey, maybe we’re stronger together,” why can’t people who literally make laws for a living do the same?

The wolf and the bear didn’t hold a bipartisan summit.

They didn’t need a moderator, a motion to adjourn, or a 47-page continuing resolution.

They just recognized a simple truth: starving separately isn’t as effective as surviving together.

It’s not that hard.

One tracks. One charges. Both eat.

Mutual benefit. Shared outcome.

No filibusters. No grandstanding. No Twitter tantrums.

Our government, on the other hand, seems to be stuck in a full-time blame buffet.

Every issue turns into an ego Olympics — who’s right, who’s louder, who can make the better soundbite.

It’s less about progress and more about posturing.

Meanwhile, the rest of us are just out here, hungry for some damn cooperation.

The wolf and the bear didn’t stop being who they were — the bear was still the muscle, the wolf still the strategist. But they saw the bigger picture.

They didn’t need to agree on everything — just enough to move forward.

Maybe that’s the lesson here.

Real strength isn’t in being the loudest in the forest.

It’s in realizing that survival — political or otherwise — depends on knowing when to lead, when to follow, and when to stop growling long enough to listen.

Because at some point, if even apex predators can figure out collaboration…

maybe Congress should too.
