There’s a video series about several pet monkeys. Little pet monkeys are extremely intelligent and cute.
Considering A Pet Macaque Monkey
Insights, Availability, Costs, and Wisconsin Regulations.
You might think owning a monkey is an interesting idea, especially bear macaw mandrills for pets. These monkeys are known for their extreme intelligence and very sophisticated social customs. Their faces are expressive with distinctive features and immensely playful. Therefore, some people consider them exotic pets. But there is a need to ponder a bit deeper before adopting a pet monkey, particularly a baby macaque monkey. This requires consideration of various important factors, including cost, availability, and legal issues, especially in Wisconsin.
Understanding Macaque Monkeys as Pets
Having a pet monkey is like having a small, adorable friend in your home. These pets are also considered very intelligent. They have sophisticated family structures. Macques live in social groups and engage in various physical and mental activities. Suppose they are kept in a domesticated setting like a house or an apartment. In that case, it’s very difficult to replicate this, which can cause severe behavioral problems. An owner must accommodate a multi-dimensional approach to meeting a Macaque’s needs. People wanting these pets should also be ready for the commitment because pet monkeys, particularly macaques, can live for decades.
Availability and Cost of Baby Macaque Monkeys

It’s crucial to note that prices can fluctuate based on factors such as age, health, and monkey rarity. The initial purchase price is just the beginning. Ongoing costs include specialized diets, veterinary care, and suitable housing to ensure the monkey’s well-being.
Legal Considerations in Wisconsin
- Before acquiring a macaque monkey, it’s imperative to understand the legal landscape in your state.
- Wisconsin’s regulations regarding exotic pets are nuanced:

Wisconsin Is Watching
General Regulations:
- Wisconsin is among the states with relatively lenient laws concerning the ownership of non-native species.
- Owning a monkey, or almost any other non-native animal species, is currently legal in Wisconsin.
It is among five states:
- Alabama
- Nevada
- North Carolina and South Carolina
The above states are the other states with no bans on owning ‘dangerous’ exotic animals.

Wisconsin Watch: Animal Law
Importation Requirements:
- A General Import Permit application is necessary if the animals are privately owned and relocated to Wisconsin.
- Different permit applications exist for some animals, such as those in a rodeo, circus, or menagerie visiting Wisconsin briefly.
Restrictions on Local Ordinances:
- While state laws may allow certain exotic animal ownership, local city or county laws might be more restrictive.
- You should check with local authorities to ensure you abide by all relevant laws.
Perspectives From Current Monkey Owners
The following information may be helpful for current pet owners of monkeys:
Social Media Groups:
- Facebook has groups that serve as communities where enthusiasts and owners can share experiences.
- For instance, one user posted about some ‘adorable’ capuchin monkeys for sale, and comments highlighted how sweet and playful they are.
Educational Videos:
Some mini-documentaries feature “pet monkeys,” showing how smart and charismatic they can be. One video of a pet monkey named “Lilly,” who lives in Vietnam, shows how much love this monkey has for her owner. It is as if she is a mother to a young child.
Ultimately
As tempting as it may be to own a baby macaque monkey, proper research and preparation is advised:
Ongoing Responsibility:
- Macaques regularly need your attention, time, and resources.
- Their care is complex, and their lifespan can reach several decades.
Moral and Legal Duty:
- Ensure that, at the first stage, owning a macaque will adhere to all legal terms.
- Remember the moral issues for keeping a wild animal as a pet.
World Population Review
Other types of engagement:
- If ownership appears difficult, consider donations to primate rescue facilities or volunteer activities that allow hands-on involvement without requiring permanent placement.
To sum up, some pet owners may find it rewarding on some level to have pet macaque monkeys, but they need to be mindful of the obligations and difficulties that come with it. Those willing to leap should know and be ready to tackle these issues for harmonious coexistence with their primate pet.
They are no different than having a little kid that normally behaves. Each pet monkey has its own personality. Anyone raise a pet monkey? Watch this short video. The owner of Lilly lives in Vietnam. This video will make your day. 😍

I’ve come to the conclusion that marriage or the Covenant of marriage is under attack. It seems that more than ever before husbands and or wives are giving up instead of fighting for the marriage. This is a serious issue in our current culture.
Why is it that people are giving up in this modern day culture? Why are people failing to see the value of fighting for marriage?
Deception! We are fighting a fight with God’s enemy. Satan is hell bent on destroying the Covenant relationship. The Covenant of marriage is a beautiful thing and in its proper place and order in proper alignment with the Covenant we have with God the Father through Jesus Christ’s incredible gift on calvary, we can find the beauty of what God intended for us.
Love is being willing to lay down one’s life for someone else. In a marriage we are going to find that our mate isn’t always doing things we like and certainly aren’t always easy to love. It’s not the actions we need to love. If we base our decisions to love based on what they do instead of loving them because we decide it’s the right thing to do we will always be on a roller coaster ride that feels like it will never end.
The apostle Paul tells us in the first letter the the church of Corinth in chapter 13 verses 4 to 8 love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; its not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it’s not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing., but it rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things; believes all things hopes all things; endures all things. Love never ends.
Imagine this being you he’s describing. Speak this with your name in each line. Now do the same for your spouse. Do you see how powerful this is? This is what we are called to do. We are called to do this for our spouse and others.
If you find yourself contemplating your future with your spouse, stop and consider what did Jesus do for you and me? He gave everything on the cross on Golgotha. He said in his dying breath Father forgive them for they know not what they do. We are called to lay down our rock like he convinced the men looking to stone the woman found in sexual sin. He wants us to lay down our Grievances toward one another and leave our incredible baggage at the cross for him to carry. Then pickup our cross realizing that it’s gonna hurt and follow him.
Oh, that’s not a popular statement is it? Everyone wants to believe when you come to Jesus it’s going to be rainbows and unicorns, but that’s never promised to us. We are promised that we will see trouble and we will have sorrow but that joy comes in the morning. We are promised that if we follow him we can have peace that passes all understanding.
So what are you waiting for? Focus on staying healthy in your relationship but if you’ve messed up and everyone does. Forgive and help your spouse find their way back to repentance and restoration with Christ Jesus. This is the message of the Gospel. I’m so glad to know and be able to walk in this and I hope this helps someone stay and stand for their marriage just like me. It’s worth it to fight. God’s already won. I know…
I read the end of the story. You can too.

If Biden dies or gets impeached do we have to worry about this ding bat becing our President?Kamala Harris is being questioned by millions of Americans on her mental health state and her intelligence level.

In today’s GCA Forums Headline News for Wednesday, February 12th, 2025, we will cover the latest update on the progress President Donald Trump is making. Elon Musk, the appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is making great progress in the one week he officially started as head of DOGE. Elon Musk discovered hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars that are unaccountable for. Elon Musk questioned whether the missing funds were laundered or misappropriated. Musk also questioned how an elected official can make $174,000 per year and have a net worth of $20 million. Were they savvy investors? Was it a book deal? Was it family inheritance? Or was it fraud? The one’s who scream the loudest are the one’s that have something to hide. President Donald Trump pardoned former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich and is considering offering Blagojevich the job of becoming the United States Ambassador to Serbia. Tom Homan and Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem are aggressively working on hunting down illegal immigrants and starting deportation procedures. Trump is working on tariffs for China, Canada, and Mexico. Attorney General Nominee Pam Bondi has cut off funding to sanctuary cities and states. President Donald Trump is directing Elon Musk to do a full audit of the Federal Reserve Board to determine the amount of money the Feds are siphoning from U.S. taxpayers. Bondi is suing mayors and governors of sanctuary cities and states. There was talk that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro headed President Donald Trump’s assassination attempt. New York City Mayor Eric Adams had all of his federal charges dismissed under the directive of the Trump Administration. Chicago and 25 states are expected to get a snowstorm, including bitter cold and treacherous driving conditions. Inflation numbers are still high, as are interest rates. Prices of gold and silver per ounce are hitting all-time highs again. Great Content Authority Forums Headline News will update GCA FORUMS NEWS articles as new development get updated.

Is Kamala Harris the best candidate The Democrats have to face former President Donald Trump for 2024 Presidential Election? Are the Democrats that desperate of having a semi-descent candidate for President? Do Democrats think the American people are that stupid? Do Democrats need to name Kamala Harris, the person who slept her way up the political latter? Kamala Harris slept with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown to kick off her political career. Kamala Harris is not too smart. Many people cannot believe how she even became a lawyer let alone District Attorney of San Francisco, Attorney General of California, United States Senator, and Vice President of the United States. Now she is running for President? OMG. What has Kamala Harris ever achieved in her political career. Watch this video clip about Kamala Harris.

Shots were fired at former President Donald Trump campaign rally this afternoon grazing the former President by his ear breaking his skin to make him bleed. There are no details about the shooter and how many people were involved. We have no news whether the gunman is caught or still at large. Once shots were fired, Secret Service Agents swarmed the podium for cover of Former President Donald Trump. Trump was whisked away by a team of Secret Service Agents into a black SUV for safety and medical assistance. Trump gave a fists up to relay he was alright to his supporters. From the look of things, former President Donald Trump seems not injured except for a graze by his ear but was bleeding. Excellent news is former President Donald Trump is safe and in good hands with the protection of the U.S. Secret Service. Me and members of GCA FORUMS will keep our members posted on any updates.

GCA FORUMS HEADLINE NEWS for Wednesday, February 19th, 2025. Great Content Authority Forums news topics for today will cover the mass amount of fraud and corruption revealed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk and his team of auditors. The fraud and corruption discovered is not even one percent of federal agencies. DOGE also discovered that over 3 million people older than 100 years old have been collecting social security benefits, and some even older than 150 to 300 years old. There is no such thing in existence. The dead people getting social security turns out to be in the trillions of dollars. Corruption, greed, and fraud are totally out of control. President Trump said that with the hundreds of billions of fraud and corruption in government, the American people may be getting a stimulus check that will make a huge impact in their lives and get the federal government back in order. The biggest corruption and fraud that is anticipated by DOGE is by USAID, the Social Security Administration, the Federal Reserve Board, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Defense, the PENTAGON, Health and Human Services, the Department of Treasury, and the Federal Aviation Administration. Department of Homeland Security, especially FEMA.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Makes Diligent Headway
Major revelations have come to light due to the efforts of Elon Musk and an astute team of auditors at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). It has issued a shocking report detailing the stupendous fraud and corruption that several federal agencies have perpetrated. Unfortunately, neither probes nor internal audits were offered by the government departments, and, as a result, the frauds detected stood at over 3 million dollars. The expenditure, however, was a meager fraction, 0.87% to be precise, depicting the level of skepticism that can be placed on the operations of these agencies.
The most startling is that more than 3 million individuals are over 100 years of age. For extraordinarily gracious reasons, certain records show beneficiaries claiming between 150 and 300 years, which is impossible. From the analysis that has been done, it can be stated boldly that America is losing trillions of dollars, which, in all honesty, is emitted from the nation due to a remarkable amount of sociopathic greed and fraud.
In his comments, President Trump stated that manipulating and cheating the system, which accounts for hundreds of billions of dollars, may enable Americans to receive financial relief. He also suggested that stimulus checks could significantly affect the lives of families nationwide, all while underscoring the urgency of restoring order to the federal government.
Among the most important areas of corruption listed in the DOGE report are:
- USAID
- Social Security Administration
- Federal Reserve Board
- Internal Revenue Service
- Department of Defense and the Pentagon
- Health and Human Services
- Department of Treasury
- Federal Aviation Administration
- Department of Homeland Security, notably FEMA
While furthering these investigations, the public and lawmakers have asked for detailed solutions to address the concerns. These revelations have brought up a major issue: the worrying lack of supervision and responsibility in how the government functions and how such intricate fraud can be perpetrated in the first place.
Make sure to keep an eye out as DOGE comes up with more results for their scans and as the repercussions of these results unfold. During this time, the reputation of the federal agencies and the possibility that social aid programs have actually helped the people seem slim. It is now upon the country’s leaders to take immediate steps and deliver.

What are the types of monkeys to have for pets. Monkeys that are loyal, easy to train, affectionate, easy to housebreak, as little as possible, and a monkey who you can be your best friend. A pet monkey that can and will get along with people, especially little children. I saw many pet monkeys who are like human on youtube videos raised in Vietnam. I like to get a pet monkey for the United States.

Here’s a few pics and videos of Chase.
The Tale of Chase and His Half-a-Ball: A Long-Haired German Shepherd Love Story
There are dog lovers, and then there are staunch “my-dogs-are-my-co-pilots, my-shadow, my-ride-or-dies” type of dog lovers. My wife and I? Definitely the latter. And it all began with Chase, our Long-Haired German Shepherd born on 25th January 2023; a majestic and fluffy, fiercely loyal, and ridiculously stubborn dog with one very peculiar obsession: his prized possession, half-a-ball.
The Ball that Never Dies
Chase adored a particular toy above all others: a red ball. But let’s make no mistake—this is not a ball, and once it even ceased to exist. A long time ago, it did, and in fact Chase loved to fetch it—round, smooth and completely undamaged. However, now? Well, now it resembles an object of interest that has been subjected to a brutal archaeological dig. It overflows with bite marks, is disfigured beyond recognition, is in need of surgery, and quite frankly, had physics not intervened, would have ceased to exist by now.
As dutiful dog guardians, we engaged in speculative thinking. Why do we not attempt to acquire a new ball for him? Or, alternatively, how about two dozen brand new red balls that are identical to the first one? Since it was clear to us that the only issue was his lack of options. Makes sense, right?
No, not at all.
When Chase came out to play, he was greeted by several pristine new balls. Instead of running towards them like a sane dog, he sniffed them thoroughly and walked away as if he had just seen the antichrist. He didn’t even bother touching the fresh balls because at the end of the day, all he wanted was his half-ball. His one true love, the ball most people would disassociate with, is a half-chewed, nearly unrecognizable, blended piece of rubber that is coated with slobber. No other ball comes close to it.
Meet Skylar and Floppy: The Sister Duo
At this point, I am sure you have also deduced that Chase is our favorite dog in the family. For reasons that I am sure will be explained later, we can’t be normal people and leave him all by himself, hence, we got him two sisters. Now Chase was born on January 25, 2023, and so were his new sisters, making him a year older than the two. We surely love a good symmetric story.
Floppy most accurately describes the look of confusion, her ears thrown in different directions, give her a quirky, cartonish look style that can be also described as outright unique. Together with Skyler, who serves as the more excitement-driven dog, they have singlehandedly changed Chase’s life for the better, but the worst for Chase’s owners. The sweetest part? The lovely, heart-melting chaos they create while together.
The Three Musketeers (And Their Chauffeur—Me)
These three are a tight-knit group, and it is amusing to note that they would take my job if given the chance. They sit in the front row of the car when we go for rides together, which is a must. It gets pretty crowded because Chase assumes the shotgun role, while Skylar and Floppy scrunch up at the back like two misbehaved toddlers on a family trip.
As I am idling at stoplights, Chase scans the pedestrians and judges every single person’s life decisions while Sklyar and Floppy use the chance to bark at random objects. It is hard to get any gas without an event happening either. Whenever I leave the car unattended, all three dogs treat me like I am abandoning them and press their noses on the window as I step away until I come back.
The Ball Conspiracy Continues
With the arrival of two new sisters, one would assume that Chase would loosen up over the ball. Chase doesn’t share, nor does he seem inclined to. Everyone is baffled along with Skylar and Floppy because they are unaware of his bizarre dedication to the mangled ball. Those two other dogs would much rather chase the new red balls, which frustrates Chase to no end as he sits and perpetually observes the younger dogs, shaking his head in disbelief.
Now and then, Floppy makes an attempt to capture Chase’s half-ball to try understanding the excitement surrounding it, which is always an awful decision. Chase always gets it back with all the fervor of a person who is safeguarding the final piece of pizza at a party.
Life with The Trio
Our lives now center around three enormous, cute, spoiled, and incredibly funny dogs. Some bone of contention includes but is not limited to:
✅ Chase still not accepting the fact that his ball is not a ball anymore.
✅ Skylar being the main culprit of mischief.
✅ Floppy attempting to act like a baffled potato.
✅ All of them fighting for a ride in the car as if the car belongs to them.
We would not want it any other way.
So, if you ever spot a car zooming past with three extravagant Long Haired German Shepherds- one inconspicuously gripping a half-ball in his mouth while the other two stare in perplexment- you now have an idea as to who we are.
And if by chance you have a chewed up, barely recognizable red ball that is too damaged for any normal person to use, then to you Chase may just consider you his best pal.
P.S. Your guess is as good as mine on how we can convince Chase to replace the beloved trinket he keeps with a brand new, whole red ball. It’s safe to assume that whatever he has will remain. 🐾

Utah requires 15 NMLS hours to get a mortgage loan originator license. This extra 15 hours of NMLS CE is a one-time deal besides the 20-hour NMLS CE course required for loan officers. If you want to be a manager because you have a branch office or a mortgage company, you need to take an additional 40 hours of NMLS CE course and take a state Principal Lending Manager (PLM) four-hour PLM exam. The exam is for the state of Utah DRE/DFI and is over 200 questions. The issue is getting study materials with practice exams for the Utah Principal Lending Manager license is very difficult. I had to take the 40-hour UTAH PLM course two times because the class is only good for one year. I failed the Utah Principal Lending Manager license twice and I am scheduled to take the third time on Monday July 24th, 2023. I will keep you all posted.

GCA FORUMS HOUSING AND MORTGAGE NEWS for Wednesday, February 19th, 2025. President Donald Trump is going full steam ahead with uncovering what seems to be the largest fraud and corruption in the history of the United States with the help of Elon Musk and the new federal Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Elon Musk has been in charge of DOGE just for three weeks, and he has uncovered trillions of dollars of fraud, corruption, and blatant irresponsible spending that no doubt has been used to embezzle taxpayer funds. The fraud and corruption include paying millions of dead people social security checks and benefits. There are recipients for these stolen taxpayer funds. President Donald Trump said that the fraud Elon Musk discovered was not even 1.0% of what is coming. Potential hundreds of billions of dollars worth of fraud that Trump and Musk are expecting to reveal are from many federal giant agencies that can and will affect the housing and mortgage marketplace, which will affect homeowners and homebuyers. The agencies that affect the housing sector and mortgage markets in the United States include the Federal Reserve Board, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD, which is the parent of the Federal Housing Administration or FHA), the Department of Defense (the Pentagon), the Department of Veterans Administration, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA and USDA Loans). Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the United States Treasury, the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Health and Human Services, and countless other federal agencies and third-party contractors. Another important issue that affects homeowners and homebuyers is property taxes. There are many talks and debates concerning the legality and legitimacy of property taxes on single-family homes. Many homeowners, especially the elderly, President Trump is thinking of abolishing the IRS, federal income taxes, and property taxes. President Trump is also thinking about giving the American people a stimulus check from the fraud that was committed. This is a developing story from GCA FORUMS NEWS. With the abolishment of the Federal Reserve Board, interest rates is going to drop and inflation will get back to normal because the Federal Reserve Board can no longer print U.S. Currency and the dollar will be backed by Gold and Silver.

You do not need perfect credit or high credit scores to qualify for a mortgage loan. Every loan program require a minimum credit score. Besides HUD, VA, USDA, FANNIE MAE, FREDDIE MAC, or non-QM portfolio lenders requiring a minimum credit score, each lender can impose lender overlays on credit scores. Lender overlays are additional credit score requirements above and beyond the minimum agency mortgage guidelines imposed by each individual mortgage lender. Regardless of the minimum credit scores required, all lenders will normally want to see timely payment history in the past 12 months. Regardless of the prior bad credit you have, having timely payment on all of your monthly debt payments that report on the three credit reports is crucial. Do not worry about prior collections, charge-off accounts, late payments, or other derogatory credit tradelines unless you are going though a manual underwrite on FHA loans. HUD manual underwriting guidelines require timely payments in the past 24 months. VA manual underwriting guidelines require timely payments in the past 12 months. In many instances when you get an approve/eligible per automated underwriting system but late payments in the past 24 months, the lender may down grade your file to a manual underwrite. The best solution for you to increase your credit scores and strenghen your credit profile with recent late payments is adding positive credit with new credit. Please read this guide on how to boost your credit to get approved for a mortgage: Capital One Secured Credit Card will get you a $250 secured credit card with a $50 deposit. Self.Inc is a bank that has a phenomenal credit rebuilder program where you can make a monthly deposit as small as $25.00 per month. That monthly deposit goes towards a savings account but it reports as an installment loan to all three credit bureaus. Get a Discover secured card. Secured credit cards are the same as unsecured traditional credit card. The only difference is you need to put a deposit. The amount of deposit is the amount of credit you get by the credit card company. You need to make timely minimum monthly payments on your secured credit cards. Just start with these three creditors and you will see wonders in the weeks and months ahead. I will cover some quick fixes for you to increase your credit scores fast and at the end of this topic thread, I will list helpful resources on boosting your credit to qualify for a mortgage, how to reach a human at the credit bureaus, and how to rebuild your credit:
1. Capital One Secured Credit Card
2. Self.Inc
3. Discover Secured Credit Card
As time pass and you make timely payments, your secured credit card company will increase your credit limit without asking your to put additional deposit. If you can get more secured credit cards, it will expedite your credit rebuilding process. However, you should at least start with the above three creditors.
Improving your credit scores and rebuilding credit can be crucial when seeking mortgage approval. Here are some effective strategies to consider:
Review your credit reports: Obtain copies of your credit reports from the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Identify and dispute any errors or inaccuracies that may be negatively impacting your credit scores.
Pay bills on time: Payment history is the most significant factor affecting your credit scores. Make sure to pay all your bills (credit cards, loans, utilities, etc.) on time, every time. Set up automatic payments or payment reminders if necessary.
Reduce credit card balances: High credit card balances can hurt your credit utilization ratio, which accounts for a significant portion of your credit scores.
Aim to keep your credit card balances below 30% of your total available credit limit. Consider paying off credit cards with the highest balances first.
Don’t close unused credit cards: Closing credit cards can inadvertently increase your credit utilization ratio and decrease your overall available credit. Keep unused credit cards open, but avoid using them to maintain a low credit utilization ratio.
Increase credit limit: Request a credit limit increase from your credit card issuers, which can improve your credit utilization ratio. Be sure to handle the increased credit limit responsibly and avoid overspending.
Limit new credit applications: Each credit application results in a hard inquiry on your credit report, which can temporarily lower your credit scores. Limit credit applications only to when absolutely necessary.
Use different types of credit: Having a mix of different types of credit (e.g., credit cards, auto loans, personal loans) can positively impact your credit scores. Consider taking out a small loan or opening a new credit card account if you have limited credit types.
Monitor your credit regularly: Check your credit reports and scores periodically to ensure accuracy and track your progress. Consider signing up for a credit monitoring service to receive alerts for any changes to your credit profile.
Be patient and consistent: Rebuilding credit takes time and consistent effort. Stick to responsible credit habits, and your credit scores should gradually improve, increasing your chances of mortgage approval.
Remember, lenders evaluate various factors beyond just credit scores when considering mortgage applications. However, improving your credit scores and maintaining a healthy credit profile can significantly increase your chances of getting approved for a mortgage with favorable terms.
