OK.  I have heard about P’Nut the Squirrel and Fred the Raccoon and their grisly fates.  I have also heard from a lot of idiots who say, “So what?  It’s a tree rat. Who cares?”

These people are beyond any help.  They have become so inured to government abuse that they do not understand the issue here at all.  It is not as though this would be a more important principle if it involved a Triple Crown-winning horse or a Best of Show Westminster dog champion.  Or, for that matter, your daughter.  The point here is that these thugs, under color of New York government, raided a law-abiding citizen’s home, terrorized his family, seized his pets and killed them.

The citizen in question runs an animal rescue operation.  He has rescued numerous animals and provided care for them.  He has a sanctuary.  He was harming no one.  The squirrel is one he rescued as a baby that fell from a tree.  He cared for it for 10 years and in return, P’Nut became a symbol for the rescue of helpless animals on his YouTube channel.

It is right that the Trump campaign should bring attention to this abuse of government because just as P’Nut was a symbol for animal rescue, his brutal seizure and execution by the New York government agency (masquerading as an animal “conservation” agency) is a symbol of what is going on in our government today.  

We hear about “domestic terrorists” from voices on the left, implying that these “terrorists” are people who exercise their First Amendment rights to free expression, assembly and redress of grievances.  The real terrorists, however, are not your family, friends and neighbors who might object to certain positions held by those in power.  The real terrorists are those who tell us they will just “walk into our homes” and inspect our guns.  They are those who have pushed through legislation which empowers the state to take custody of your 12-year-old son or daughter and forcibly “transition” him or her without your consent - and obviously without their own, because at any age under 18 they are not at the age of consent.  

We have plenty of terrorists in our government.  They are using our tax-funded schools to turn our children away from their parents, away from their religious upbringing, much as the Nazis did in Germany in the 1930s.  True.  This is how they took over.  They corrupted the children, turned them into informers on their own parents and inflicted terror right there inside the home, the sanctuary.  Why?  Because there is one thing no dictator, no tyranny, can tolerate - the family, the home.  It has always been a bulwark against government abuse.  I don’t say “over-reach”, I say “abuse”.  Because that is exactly what it is.  

Any such abuse by raiding people’s homes willy-nilly, randomly or on no excuse, is terrorism.  Don’t think for one minute that if this were YOUR home or YOUR pet . . . or YOUR child, you would not be beyond outraged.  Don’t even think it.  Because you would be ready for the revolution.  We have heard about Kamala Harris arresting the single mother whose daughter was missing school (with doctors’ excusing) - a “truant” - because she had sickle cell anemia (an extremely serious congenital condition) and which child had a stroke at age 12 from the stress on top of her illness.  Her mother was jailed for this. She lost her job, she was kept from her ailing child, not knowing her condition.  This is the other end of the spectrum.  If you think a family pet is not important, or your guns, think about how this progresses.  Kamala Harris and her kind will laugh at all of this, as she did with Mrs. Peoples.  The victims of this will not laugh.  If it is you one day, YOU will not laugh.  

So I applaud the Trump campaign for recognizing the abuse of government witnessed in this little episode of “over-reach” in New York.  This action of the state accomplished nothing other than to intimidate and cast fear into decent, law-abiding people who just happened to have the capacity to care about animals.  If you don’t like making a “big deal” out of causing fear and intimidating us, tough.  I don’t care about you.  I am not a big fan of squirrels.  I don’t want a pet squirrel nor a pet raccoon.  I appreciate them in the wild, of course, but that is not the point.  The point is that it is none of my - or your - or the state’s - business if a law-abiding, decent human being wants to rescue and care for a little squirrel.  If that squirrel becomes a mascot for an effort to ensure the safety and welfare of other helpless animals, so much the better.  

Just don’t you dare tell me that this squirrel isn’t important enough to give it attention.  Remember the coal mines of Wales?  They took canaries in there.  It doesn’t seem humane now, but they knew that when the canary died, there was a serious danger to the miners and they got out of the mine and didn’t perish.  No one said, "So what?  It's just a bird," because they were intelligent enough to know that when the bird was in danger, so were they.  Think of these little, innocent, helpless animals that were seized and killed as the canaries in our coal mine.  And don’t belittle the family that is suffering heartbreaking loss today.  

Vote against Kamala Harris.  We just can’t have someone in the White House who laughs at our pain and whose goal is to intimidate and terrorize us.
