It sure sounds like Jared and Ivanka got involved with Albanian organized crime, including a man under investigation for murdering an Italian journalist. https://t.co/DsVPcrGPwd

The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency.

As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created.

Texan here

A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided!

Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks.

Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier.

This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses.

How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.

This is going to not only put a lot of people on the streets it’s also going to displace poor animals that were trained to help people especially Veterans.

🚨 Adriana Camberos stole 10s of millions from American consumers.

Trump granted her a full pardon, allowing her to keep $48.8 million in stolen funds.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Albania strikes a crushing blow against Jared Kushner's corrupt private island development by FREEZING the bank accounts of a major company tied to the project.

And it gets even better...

According to Albanian reporter Lindita Cela, the nation's anti-corruption prosecutors have frozen the accounts of a landholding company involved in Kushner's $4 billion luxury resort plans.

The move comes as massive protests sweep the country, with local residents incensed at the idea of Ivanka and Jared gobbling up coveted real estate to create a vacation spot for the Epstein Class. The slogan “Albania Is Not for Sale" has been spreading like wildfire and clashes between police and protestors are increasing in intensity.

The asset seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime and is part of a broader investigation into possibly fraudulent property titles.

Suspiciously, the company in question is owned by Qatari oligarchs Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat. Kushner's ties to dirty Gulf money are well-established. They blossomed during his time in the first Trump administration, where he twisted American foreign policy to benefit specific actors in the region in return for massive investments and business advantages. This deal is rotten all the way to the core.

The Al-Khayyats have snatched up property along a protected stretch of coastline of the Adriatic Sea and it's here and on a nearby island that Kushner intends on erecting his resort for the top 1% of the top 1%. Given what we know about the Trump family, it's safe to presume that the development will serve as a paradise for pedophiles, war criminals, and human traffickers.

But this time, Jared bit off more than he can chew. Albanians are a proud, defiant people. They've survived centuries of larger regional powers seeking to divide their land, rewrite their history, and erase their culture. They're not going to let one greedy businessman defeat them now.

We stand with Albania!

Kushner out! Ivanka out!

Do you stand with the Albanian people?

Please ❤️ and share to demand more investigations into Kushner!

You caught them. Mom and Dad were going to sell bibles and cell phones, golden sneakers, and NFTs, Chinese watches and cologne but wouldn’t you know someone beat them to the punch. They were left with only one choice write two books like every former First Lady and President has done in modern history.

I'm afraid that this is why the US administration wants to shut down ocean observations: they don't want the people to know what is happening in our oceans, as it does not fit their ideology and the interests of their fossil fuel industry funders.

WATCH: Republicans again blocked Sen. Ossoff's amendment to prevent insurance companies from denying or delaying needed care.

“Instead of slush funds for criminals and corrupt ballrooms, let's do something useful. Let's ban insurance companies from denying or delaying medically necessary health care to Americans," Sen. Ossoff said.
