					<description><![CDATA[Your statement that &quot;when advocates cannot win sweeping policy changes through legislatures, they try to manufacture them through judges&quot; is simply not true.  In fact, these advocates are playing a multi-level, three dimensional chess game, where they continue to advance their agenda in both the legislatures and the courts. They have infiltrated municipal city councils and are working from the ground up.  For example, the City of Prairie Village Kansas recently passed an ordinance holding both a resident and her spider monkey accountable for complying with a municipal ordinance.  In past cases seeking &quot;personhood&quot; status for animals, judges found that because animals have no duties under the law, they have no rights under the law.  But, now as a result of the Prairie Village, Kansas ordinance, an animal now has legal duties under the law, and presumably, also has rights under the law.  .]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Good evening,

While you believe that these groups are attempting to advance this theory exclusively through the court system, however, they are, in fact, advancing this agenda through state and local laws, as evidenced by the recently enacted ordinance in Prairie Village, KS, effective on April 1, 2026.  This ordinance binds both the owner of a spider monkey and the monkey itself to comply with applicable legal requirements.  Therefore, the monkey now has a legal duty to comply with the law.  In the past, judges have ruled that, because animals cannot bear any legal duties, they cannot be afforded the same rights as human beings.  But, in the new lawfare chapter, these groups are infiltrating low-level local governmental authorities, and are apparently inserting provisions into local municipal laws, likely banking on the fact that the municipal authorities will not understand the significance of the provisions they are enacting into law.  These provisions are specifically designed to advance the broader &quot;personhood&quot; agenda for animals.  And, sadly, this is what I believed happened in Prairie Village, Kansas.   Which leaves me to wonder, how many other local municipalities have these groups infiltrated or will do so in the future to implement similar ordinances?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The majority of Democrat politicians stopped being Americans and became marx*ist Soci*alist commu*nist a long time ago, it wasn&#039;t until the Biden admin took it out of the closet that it became so obvious: Schumer Pushes Bill to Make the LGBTQ Pride Flag Equal to the American Flag.

&quot;In one of the most insulting moves ever, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is introducing legislation to make the LGBTQ pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol, giving it the same federal protections as the U.S. flag, military flags, and POW/MIA flags.

Yes, you read that right.

Chuck Schumer wants the pride flag to have the same status as Old Glory and the flags honoring those who served and sacrificed for this country.

					<description><![CDATA[Left wing mental illness and violence: Here&#039;s Another Lib Female Meltdown...and It&#039;s a Doozy. [note: yes another left winger mentally ill violent liberal female tells us what they really want to do, out of hundreds of thousands on social  media platforms. Mark my words, within a year it will become more possible conservatives will be needing to shoot these mentally ill left wingers in the streets in valid legal self/family/others/community-defense. The politicians are just their excuse, what they really want is anyone that&#039;s conservative dead including you and family and children.]

&quot;I’m sorry, but who can be friends with, let alone reason with, this woman? It’s insane. It’s 20 seconds of pure unadulterated insanity, and we don’t even know what she’s talking about. It’s obviously about Donald Trump, his agenda, and the administration writ large. But this woman is so unhinged that she just yells into the void while driving, mind you.  

It’s also a call for mass executions, saying that impeachment isn’t enough. She wants to see these people, presumably Trump officials or ICE agents, hanged by the ankles and cut from “groin to chain.”

					<description><![CDATA[How They Will Eviscerate the First Amendment to Disarm You.

In their rush to disarm Americans as fast as humanly possible, several states are now banning the 3D printing of many items and even prohibiting the possession of certain computer files.  Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a tough ruling from the 3rd Circuit which is likely to embolden many of these states to double down on these legislative efforts.  It would appear that the 3rd Circuit just ignored several cases directly on point to reach the conclusion that they so desired and in doing so, threatens not only the Second Amendment, but the First Amendment as well.
