It All Comes Down to a Squirrel

By -
Wall Street Journal 
Why in the world would New York's Democrat government go to the trouble to raid a home and then spend five hours ransacking the home -- which was part of a wildlife refuge -- because of a healthy squirrel?

There's only one reason: it is to send a message: "We are the government, we have the muscle and the force, and you better not cross us!" Does this sound like America to you?

I wasn't planning to write an election day message this year. But, the horrific treatment of Peanut the Squirrel and its owners changed my mind. This is America for gosh sakes. "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave." This sort of planned, and ever more frequent, governmental abuse cannot stand. 

As usual, President Reagan said it best:
If freedom in America falls, there is no other refuge. 

While I wish Donald Trump was stronger on the First Amendment, Kamala Harris has made it clear, many times, she has no respect for individual rights whatsoever. As Snopes (hardly a conservative apologist) notes:

The video showed Harris saying, "Just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home, doesn't mean that we're not going to walk into that home and check to see that you're being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs."

No warrant. No respect for rights. 'We're the government and we don't have to respect the law" is her attitude. 

I wanted Ron DeSantis as the Republican nominee this year. But Trump got the nomination, has stood up to being shot, and has demonstrated he is in touch with ordinary Americans. 

Kamala Harris wants to abort babies up until, and just after, birth. She has no real accomplishments of any kind...none. Zero. If she wins, she will be Obama's fourth term. I have no appetitive for that. 

So, if you value your rights as an American and believe that smaller, better government is a worthwhile goal, the choice is clear: Donald Trump for President. 


P.S. This was posted on Twitter this morning. 
I'm so old, I remember an America where we respected the result of elections and wished our opponents well. As the Peanut example illustrates, today's leftists are authoritarians who wish to use government to punish people -- even someone like Musk who has contributed so very much to America!

Earlier this afternoon, I received an overheated comment that said, "Mr. Trump will use the government to go after opponents."
Projection, much?

The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes.  If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub.  I'll update later today.

Note: An Updated Forecast is Available HERE Freezing Rain The National Weather Service has now issued winter weather advisories, two warnings and a watch. It may be a bit too large but, when it comes to freezing rain and slick roads, caution is usually the better course of action.  Here's a color code: Deep purple is an ice storm warning; serious condition where power outages are possible. Pink is a winter storm warning for significant icing. Deep green is a winter storm watch. I don't know why this is still a watch. If I were on the forecast desk I would have a winter storm warning for icing.  Dark blue is a winter weather advisory, a lesser condition, for icing.  Here is a view of the entire watch/warning/advisory area. The small area of green in Illinois is for flooding and, in Nebraska, for snow.  Here is a forecast of freezing rain amounts; totals to 6am Tuesday.  Color codes: Yellow is 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Power outages may occur in this areas. Deep blue i...
