					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Self-defense&quot; is inherently fraught.  If it is actual self-defense, it happens in a few seconds, in a difficult situation, and split-second decisions have to be made in . . . split seconds.  I hope to never have my own decision to deploy lethal force second-guessed by a bunch of people who&#039;ve never been in that situation.  I maintain all my defensive firearms with the fervent goal of never having to use them.  I don&#039;t want to kill another human, even a scumbag feral predator.  But our RIGHT to self-defense is inherent (as was clearly recognized by the Founders).  Sure, if you abuse that right, you should be accountable, just as you are for the abuse of ANY right (our Founders understood that, too).  

Within reason, I won&#039;t question the immediate self-defense decisions made by others, and I pray that I&#039;ll never have to have such a decision by me evaluated by Soros-financed DAs and twelve idiots too stupid to evade jury duty, but . . . my wishes don&#039;t control.  I&#039;ve long understood that if, God forbid, I ever have to deploy lethal force to defend myself or my family, I WILL get prosecuted by some dumb-@$$ Soros-funded prosecutor.  As the saying goes, &quot;I&#039;d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6&quot;.  It&#039;s the price you pay for exercising an inherent right in this increasingly whacked-out society.]]></description>

Dude,

Well, to be fair, politicians of both stripes value re-election over anything.  Maintaining power (and the grift) takes precedence over any concerns of mere &#039;constituents&#039;.  And this surprises you why, exactly?????]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;...homicide rates soared by more than 30 percent b-e-t-w-e-e-n* 2019 and 2021 — the largest single-year jump in U.S. history.&lt;/i&gt;

Democrats did that. All those people died because Democrats saw an opportunity for a power grab. The demographics most affected by the killings were the ones Democrats always tell us they’re fighting to protect. They don’t see them as people; they see them as pawns. Dems know they won&#039;t pay a price because they have the media to run cover for them.
