At the ports, foreign beef loads clear on paperwork and at most a quick look at the boxes. Any real inspection is a rarity. There is no routine DNA verification that the frozen block is actually from a cow.
Europe actually got caught grinding horsemeat into “beef” for months in 2013 for this exact reason: blended frozen trim is where anything can hide. They got caught solely because of dumb luck and chance, not because of any kind of diligence.
Worse: the longer a foreign plant goes uncaught, the less often we even give a glancing inspection of their shipments. “Trust” builds.
We reward the fox for every night we don’t see them take a chicken. Even though chickens are missing…
Plus this allegedly “high quality” imported trim can’t be sold or eaten on its own. Packers (the foreign owned ones that control 85 percent of the market) blend it with fat trim and actual hamburger from American cattle, then sell the mix under one “ground beef” label.
Foreign leftovers and filler mixed from thousands of animals (maybe cows?) mixed with thousands of American cattle.
An American steer is born here, raised here, and processed here.
Know your rancher.
It’s fine if Trump wants to celebrate importing scrap mystery meat and price fixing; the least our Congress could do is require it be labeled so you can choose whether or not you eat it. MCCOOL matters, no matter what the Farm Bureau or Cattlemen’s associations say.
Before he became a full-time cheerleader for the Trump FBI, Dan Bongino understood that the government’s demand for terrorists far outweighs the supply.
Hiring 3 government informants to drive a mentally unstable woman to Home Depot and hand her $200 to buy a 9-volt, acetone, and nails isn’t “disrupting terrorism.”
The Make-A-Wish FBI Director is as stupid as the people his agency entraps.
For the first time in decades, I finally started making a decent profit with my cattle.
Because of this I put the wheels in motion to grow my herd, acquired more land, etc.
The market crashed $35ctw overnight because of Trumps announcement.
I now have to put my plans on hold

The FBI director's girlfriend has lost a defamation case against a right-wing influencer who suggested she was an undercover Israeli “honey-pot.”

@jeremykauffman It’s not about tariffs.
Get rid of all tariffs or have uniform tariffs on everything, but don’t use them for central planning.
Trump’s setting the price (.75 of market) and the quantity of foreign beef (300 tn / 90 days), and the product (only ground).
It’s not free market.
@dbongino@GenFlynn This you @dbongino https://t.co/rS4mlYYKGR? Is Israel still your “most important thing”.
I guess your wife and children are second position. Makes sense you’re a sellout. Probably sold them out too.
Kicker is that we blow through gallons of $5 diesel to keep ragweed and other invasive weeds out of pastures so we can raise “high” priced beef!
But hey we all deserve cheaper beef I guess.
Why aren’t we forcing cheaper tractors or trucks or heck even Lattes at starbies🪓
The FBI used 3 professional informants, handed her money and drove her to buy supplies, built a decoy device, and gave her an inert gun.
Another fantastic job of entrapping a low intelligence American so @FBIDirectorKash and @AGToddBlanche could brag to Fox News.
Farmer Will Harris just said the quiet part out loud.
Centralized industrial agriculture has completely hollowed out rural America.
“Raw material was shipped from the town.”
“Which is like sucking the money out.”
“And then it became impoverished.”
“The jobs went away.”
But Harris’s regenerative farm, White Oak Pastures, turned his town’s fortune around.
“Bluffton is a really good example of this… because it’s always been a farm town.”
“It’s never had a railroad.”
“Never had a mill.”
“Never had a plant.”
“Never had a factory.”
“And it was a prosperous little town.”
“But all of that economy was driven by agricultural production.”
“Today, we sell 30-something million dollars worth of stuff.”
“And most of the money stays in my area.”
@whiteoakpasture@kylematthewsceo
Centralized industrial agriculture is how the globalists use marxist tactics to take control of our food supply. We can all see it. Does not take a brain surgeon to figure it out.
Checking on the “ground beef herd” today!
The messaging was weird.
We raise live animals, live stock makes up the American cattle herd.
Ground beef is but one of the finished products after almost 2 yrs of work and money tossed into making that product!
They should call me up🥩
