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).

Hey @grok, how many tons of ground beef does Trump say he will import over 90 days at 25% below market price and how many tons of ground beef do McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King chains use collectively in the course of 90 days? Could this be considered a fast food bailout?
If you voted for the Big Beautiful Bill, please don’t get on here and express righteous indignation that the debt is now $40 trillion. Anyone with a room temperature IQ knew that cutting taxes and increasing spending was going to balloon the deficit.
HOLY SHIT
Former United States Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill interview
Newsmax: "You shot Bin Laden, what bothers you most about this investigation (Charlie Kirk)"
"I've been in a lot of shootings and I've killed more than a hand full of people and this thing looked shady off the bat.
I've killed people closer than I saw the camera and I've never seen a shirt move like that, that looks like an explosion to me."
Nah… I’m good. I’ll find something good to watch. It’s more propaganda that I don’t care to listen to. This administration is clearly not America First.
I was just briefed by the White House on what to expect this evening.
I would encourage every American to tune in tonight to the President’s speech. This may be the most important Oval Office address since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The time for complacency with China is over.
A great development: The Senate voted AGAINST the NDAA 50-46, denying Israel a merger with the US.
Those 46 who voted in favor, should face charges for treason
American sovereignty could end this month.
Congress is preparing to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act. If the bill passes in its current form, it would merge the U.S. and Israeli military machines to make them effectively one and the same.
How could any American lawmaker support this? Even if you love Israel, it is impossible to deny that this NDAA undermines our country’s sovereignty.
The corporate media is going out of its way to ignore this story. They do not want the public to learn about it. We refuse to follow their lead. This episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, featuring an interview with former Congressman Dennis Kucinich, is a tell-all exposé on this jaw-dropping proposal.
Watch the full episode below:
Our government is lying to us. It’s all for the Greater Israel Project.
We need to become America First, and quit funding foreign countries.
This is not what our founding fathers wanted.
Tucker Carlson announces plan to build a third political party:
"There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country… If you make sixty thousand dollars a year, you're degraded… the promise of your children's lives is likely gone. No one seems to care. It's not even a factor… I officially don't care about Hamas. The US government should have, as its first priority, the welfare of its own people."
Carlson said he doesn’t want to be a candidate in the new party.

My amendment to H.R. 8595, the State Department Appropriations bill, strikes $3.3 billion in Foreign (Military) Aid for Israel. The amendment is expected to receive a floor vote next week.
Netanyahu said he wants to reduce Israel’s dependence on US aid; let’s start now.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says she now strongly suspects that President Trump is in the unreleased Epstein files in compromising and disturbing material.
"Given his behavior and how hard he's fought to stop the files."
"I think one could come to that conclusion."
🇱🇧🇮🇱 Chaos in Beirut right now
Crowds have completely taken over the streets, burning tires and blocking roads in fury over the Lebanese authorities signing an agreement with Israel.
They say it legalizes Israel's occupation of South Lebanon and gives Netanyahu immunity for war crimes.
This could escalate fast.

If there wasn’t anything to be worried about. He wouldn’t be standing up saying it.
I don’t care what party it is, there needs to be a full blown investigation. There’s something that doesn’t smell right about what’s going on.
Mike Johnson: "If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats…will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body and they will go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends. Half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I'll take care of you."
