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.
🚨TRUMP IS NOT WELL
This rally is a bust. He’s seated. He’s mixing up major details.
He just claimed he pardoned a farmer in prison for seven YEARS for fixing a tractor. He was as a diesel mechanic in prison for seven MONTHS for tampering emissions. Trump’s mind is mush.
‘Thank you for not forgetting about us’ says a Ukrainian that just returned from Russian captivity today . He’s crying while saying it . ‘Can’t believe I’m really calling you’ says another one while talking to his mother .’ ‘haven’t heard your voice in 4 years’

Donald Trump was president for each of these crashes!
Ryan Fournier, 30 yr old co-founder of ‘Students for Trump’ was arrested for domestic violence. After being drunk & passed out, he punched his girlfriend 2-3 times with a closed fist when awakened and made threats including “I will kill everyone here.” https://t.co/eBUH1dRSn3
Yes, you are reading this right. Desantis used $1 BILLION of Florida tax payer money to build detention centers that were ultimately shut down.

We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.

The federal govt is granting power to Israel.
This is clearly prohibited by the 10th Amendment.
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
From the article:
“[sect. 224 of the NDAA is] not an alliance with a talented and responsible ally that will help keep the US safe, but a trap being set by Israel and its lobby to bind our country to a state that, for all its past promise, has gone rogue.”
