Have you heard of Peanut the squirrel? If not, here’s the simplified recap: A man living in New York named Mark Longo ran an animal rescue, and he had both a pet squirrel and a pet racoon. The squirrel, named Peanut, was the star of multiple online videos that helped raise money for the man’s rescue agency. And the state of New York took both the squirrel and the racoon and killed them. Because they could.
Earlier this morning, I watched a video of a naked black ran running around New York City waving a stick and chasing people who caught his attention. While various passer-bys and random people walking to work ran to stay away from the naked black man. You have open air drug use in NYC. You have a huge problem with illegal aliens in New York. But the government, rather than trying to focus on things that would make life better for the average New Yorker, decided that they were going to kill two animals. Because they had the authority to do so! YOU WILL RESPECT MAH AUTHORITAH!
This is what government does best. It destroys your quality of life, making your life worse every step of the way, while taking your money and telling you to do what they say or else.
The streets of New York City are filled with criminals and migrants, billions are spent on hotel rooms for illegals, drugs are ravaging our communities, and lawlessness is spreading in ways that degrade our civilization. Those are big problems that are difficult to deal with, so the government turns its Sauron eye to Peanut because it can overwhelm the little guy with no problem.
Improving people’s lives is hard. Killing a squirrel is easy.
The reason Trump has a chance is because the government is spending their time getting rich and only doing the easy things. Vote accordingly. Pray.
And buy more ammo.

Thank you, Dave. I couldn’t write about this because, from the moment I read about it, I’ve been quaking with fury. Had I the power, I’d hunt down those DEC miscreants and “euthanize” them. I hope there’s someone out there who’ll take on the job for the rest of us animal lovers.
There should be a special circle of Hell for people who mistreat animals. I hope there is.
