🧵Remember the first time you cut into a frog or rat while learning about biology in school?

For me, it was one of the most interesting lessons I learned – even though I wasn’t great at cutting in the right places. There has been an ongoing debate over the practice, with entities like PETA doing their best to save the frogs and other animals.

However, it appears that this effort is just one of several that PETA has undertaken to inject its warped ideology on animal rights into the classroom.

🧵Meet Courtney Price and her 17-month-old son Waylon.

She was taking care of her baby when Ohio's @ElyriaPolice SWAT team showed up at her home, threw a flashbang grenade into the residence, then broke the door in.

It was the wrong home. After breaking into the home, the officers led Courtney outside in handcuffs while her baby was still inside.

Waylon suffered serious injuries from the flashbang and was diagnosed with chemical pneumonitis, which is inflamation of the lungs.

🧵1/Brian Johnston from Liberty, SC, inherited 60 chickens from his father.

A new local ordinance now limits him to just 6 hens, endangering a family legacy of 6 decades.

#LocalPoliticsMatter 2/ The ordinance restricts livestock keeping for various purposes and mandates permits.

Previously, the city had a “handshake” agreement, grandfathering Johnston and others like him.

🧵1/ Connecticut's law enforcement faces a massive scandal involving manipulated traffic stop reporting.

An audit uncovers a disturbing pattern of state troopers inflating records to boost their productivity.

The implications are deeply troubling. 2/ At least 100 officers were found fabricating traffic reports to inflate their numbers.

This raises concerns about officers' credibility and their ability to handle serious criminal cases.

How can we trust those tasked with upholding the law?

🧵1/THREAD: It's Time to Revisit The Role of Armed Citizens in Preventing Mass Shootings

The Jacksonville shooting reignites debates on gun rights. But one key point is often overlooked: Armed citizens can & do prevent or mitigate mass shootings. Here's why this is crucial.👇 2/Ever heard a news report detailing how an armed citizen foiled a mass shooting? Likely not. Yet, the Crime Prevention Research Center @CrimeResearch1 reveals these incidents happen far more frequently than reported.

🧵‍The War on Drugs has been raging for over 50 years. The initiative, which has significantly reshaped American politics, society, and the economy, has been a staple of Americanism for over five decades. The U.S. government has spent over $1 trillion since the War on Drugs was launched. Unfortunately, even a cursory glance at the numbers shows that the return on this investment has been severely lacking.

🧵 A federal judge has ruled in favor of Jeremy Story, a Texas pastor who found himself behind bars after exposing corruption in his local school district. The decision comes after a fiery legal battle between members of the community in Round Rock, TX and the local government. The situation began in 2021 when Story and others confronted the school board over a series of issues, one of which was the hiring of Superintendent Hafedh Azaiez.

BREAKING: Live footage of Kansas police officers raiding the home of the 98-year-old co-owner of the Marion County Record newspaper.

She died the day after this unjustified raid. Here are the articles I've written on this so far:

I hated having to write this story because it is both heartbreaking and infuriating.

Abigail Martinez recently testified in front of California's Judiciary Committee about the effect of gender ideology on her daughter Yaeli who was dealing with gender dysphoria. When Abigail refused to affirm her daughter's gender identity, the state of California accused her of being abuse, and essentially kidnapped her daughter to continue the indoctrination.

The state gave Yaeli testosterone as part of her "gender-affirming care" treatments.

🧵Okay, time for me to address the Rasmussen Poll that @ScottAdamsSays cited when he set the internet on fire.

Also, check out the article I wrote about it here. It has the same info along with my commentary on the controversy.

libertynation.com/dilbert-creato… For those who missed it, Rasmussen published the results of a survey in which it asked white and black respondents if they agreed with the statemnt: "It's OK to be white."

According to the poll, supposedly 53% of black Americans "somewhat" or "strongly" agreed with the statement

🧵Ok. I'm going to go ahead and explain this because I haven't done it yet on Twitter and I know some are confused about my political stances.

Warning: This is gonna be a long one, y'all.

I have been more libertarian than conservative for years now. But I did not start out that way. Before I got into political commentary in 2017, I was more of a conservative.

The Rasmussen Poll said only half of black folks think it's "ok to be white."

Too many are falling for this obvious bullshit.

Remember, these are the same people who also claimed, on multiple occasions, that Trump had between 30% to 40% black support in the leadup to the 2020… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵Almost every time @donithedon_ and I do a Twitter Space, the topic of noncompliance comes up, so I decided to write a piece on it on my Substack, but I figured I'd post some of the salient points on a thread. Have you ever wondered what would happen if people just refused to continue going along with at least some of the silly laws our governments impose on us?
