@pepsi@Walmart@FTC and the Trump administration have been in collusion to keep grocery prices high. Take time to watch this video and demand Congress investigate.

"President Trump demands Canada change its French language, Quebec culture and Canadian identity as a condition for reversing tariffs. This is no longer about a trade deal-it is about a takeover of Canada's sovereignty and identity."
Warning ⚠️ this is a STEALTH BAILOUT for the MEAT COMPANIES . 🚨 It's a $555 million stealth subsidy to the multinational beef packing industry and fast food lobby
The administration is waiving $554.4 million in tariffs to funnel cheap, frozen beef to McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King, not to lower the price of ground beef at your local grocery store. The fast-food industry is facing severe margin compression and consumer pullback due to inflation. This executive order is a stealth bailout for Quick Service Restaurant corporate margins disguised as grocery price relief for working families. meat counter🚨

TRUMP is DELIBERATELY DESTROYING THE U.S. CATTLE HERD
The only way to rebuild a cattle herd is for ranchers to hold back heifers (young females) for breeding instead of sending them to slaughter. When ranchers do this, supply tightens and feedlot prices go up.🚨
If you flood the market with cheap imported beef (even for 90 days), what happens to US ranchers? Live cattle futures drop (NCBA CEO "cattle markets have already turned sharply lower this morning"). 🚨
Ranchers who are holding out, trying to rebuild the herd, see prices drop. Their margins, already squeezed by drought and feed costs, collapse. What do ranchers do when prices drop and feed is expensive? They liquidate the herd. They sell their cattle to slaughterhouses at lower prices to stop the bleeding. If ranchers liquidate, the US cattle herd gets EVEN SMALLER
🚨
Who controls the slaughterhouses? The "packer monopoly" as Sen. Tim Sheehy called it. JBS (Brazilian), Tyson, Cargill, National Beef. If domestic herd liquidates, ranchers sell off their cattle to the big packers. The packers get cheap domestic cattle. They pair it with the cheap imported beef from their parent companies or alliances abroad (JBS is Brazilian, they basically control the Brazilian meat export market). JBS stands to make an absolute killing. They can source cheap beef tariff-free from Brazil through their own supply chain, blend it with domestic beef, and sell it at a marginal discount while pocketing the massive tariff waiver savings. 🚨
And if the domestic herd drops further, eventually the US will be structurally dependent on imported beef forever. The US will lose its food security. If you destroy the domestic cattle herd, you consolidate power over the US meat supply into the hands of a few multinational monopolies (JBS, Brazilian-owned; Cargill; etc.). These monopolies can then dictate prices indefinitely. Meanwhile, Trump gets a temporary 25% optics drop in grocery store ground beef for the 60 days leading up to the November election. He saves the GOP House/Senate.
Once the domestic herd is liquidated (cows are slaughtered, they are dead) , it takes 3 to 5 years to rebuild a herd (gestation + raising to maturity).
So this 90-day window permanently sets back US beef independence by years. This is a massive transfer of wealth from US taxpayers to the meat packing monopoly and foreign agricultural giants (specifically JBS/Brazil).

🚨 3 bicycle cops pepper‑spray a man, rip him out of his truck, and start swinging on him in a full dog‑pile… turns out he’s a California State Parks employee?
What the hell is going on here?!
If your water bill is high in America this might be why
This American was gone for 3 weeks out of the month, he gets back and has an extremely high water bill. He calls the water company because that doesn’t make any sense, he wasn’t even home most of the month
The water company tells him they no longer read meters, they instead do drive- bys. A worker drives through neighborhoods and an electronic signal is picked up from the meters recoding the readings
If the reading fails, they just estimate the bill based on the usage at this time last year
But here’s the thing, he didn’t even live in this place last year, they are estimating the usage based on the previous tenants usage because that’s who lived there
The wild thing is, I looked into it and this is legal and many water companies do this. In fact if you challenge it and want a manual reading, they will charge you a fee to have someone come out and read it
This is a scam
Wow. Proponents of the ICE taser gloves are openly saying that one reason they love the gloves is that they doesn’t leave any marks or proof that they were used, making it harder for people to sue when they’re shocked excessively.
