Everyone debating beef prices should hear from someone who actually raises cattle.
I’m a small rancher. It can cost me ~$2,500 to raise an animal + ~$600 to process it. If I bring home ~500 lbs of beef, that’s $6.20/lb before I pay myself ONE DOLLAR for land, fencing, equipment, fuel, labor, losses or risk.
So no, American ranchers aren’t getting rich off expensive beef.
And importing cheaper beef isn’t the solution I want.
I’d rather see Americans cut out the mega-packers and buy directly from local ranchers. Buy a quarter, half or whole animal. Know the farm. Know how it was raised. Ask whether it was grass-fed, grass-finished, grain-finished, or something else. Know who processed it.
Quality and production standards vary, and “imported” doesn't automatically mean inferior—but cheaper commodity beef is not the same proposition as knowing exactly where your food came from.
Want to help American families AND American cattlemen?
Buy local. Buy direct. Shorten the supply chain.
Then you don’t have to wonder which multinational handled your dinner—or whether tomorrow’s “beef” came from a cow, a bioreactor or a 3D printer.
Food security starts with knowing your farmer.

So Trump has picked a fight with the democratically-elected prime minister of Canada but calls the communist dictator of North Korea his friend.
Americans, Trumps foreign policy makes no sense! It’s completely irrational.
Do you even know why we are fighting with Canada?
Do you know what we get out of befriending the communist regime in North Korea?
I don’t know the answer to either of these questions.
Here you go @Scavino47
Are you going to chastise and yell at these people and call them names for not supporting Trump until they go broke and die?
Maybe you should post up some fighter jet video with badass music with a tailspin making a Q to whip these people in line.
Every market has a fellow who is certain the prices are wrong and that he alone knows the right ones. Usually the market charges him tuition for this belief. Occasionally, it hands him the Treasury.
Consider the record. In 2000, Scott Bessent left Soros to run $1 billion of his own. Five years later, the fund no longer existed. In 2015 he tried again with Key Square, co-founded with Soros alum Michael Germino and seeded with $2 billion of Soros money — which is a bit like failing your driving test and being handed a Ferrari. Assets peaked at $5.1 billion in 2017 and finished 2023 at $577 million. Institutional investors reportedly went from 180 to 20, a retention rate that would embarrass a gym in February. And in 2018, Soros — the man who staked him — took his chips off the table. When your own anchor investor would rather not watch, that is not typically a buy signal.
Which brings us to the question: is the man now confidently dictating where oil, the dollar, Treasury yields, and stocks ought to trade a macro mastermind the market tragically failed to appreciate? Or did the market spend two decades doing its due diligence on him — and sell? He believes he’s smarter than the market. The market already graded that exam. Twice.
"You know, they gave us the worst inflation in 48 years, in history as far as I'm concerned. And I've already solved that." - President Trump (August 21, 2026)
Dishonest Darline is lying about Ralph Norman. She lies with ease. That’s very telling.
So let me fact check her here and I provide links for YOU, the voter, to look up for yourself. ⬇️⬇️
Ralph Norman received an A+ from NumbersUSA with a perfect record on no amnesty, ending chain migration, stopping the visa lottery, and border security.

He has voted against and publicly denounced bills he viewed as amnesty (e.g., the Farm Workforce Modernization Act and the DIGNIDAD Act, which he called a “Trojan horse for mass amnesty”).

“In the near future, I want to do what has not been done in 24 years, balance the Federal budget. We are going to balance it.” - President Trump, March 4, 2025 (address to congress)
US National Debt, March 4, 2025: $36 trillion
US National Debt, Today: $40 trillion
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said the free market is mispricing long-term bond yields. So he wants to use the superior judgment and power of central government planners to correct the mistakes of capitalism. Good thing we didn't elect a Democratic Socialist president.
US federal debt interest payments have SOARED to $1.37 TRILLION on a 12-month basis, more than DOUBLE their 2020 level.
INTEREST ON DEBT = PAYING TAXES AND RECEIVING NOTHING IN RETURN.
"If we sell 200,000 ... 200,000 of these gold green cards is $1 trillion to pay down our debt, and that's why the President is doing it, because we are going to balance the budget, and we are going to pay off the debt under President Trump." - Howard Lutnick (February 26, 2025)
BREAKING: Walmart stock, $WMT, falls over -8% after posting a rare quarterly sales miss, with US growth falling to a 6-year low.
Are consumers running out of money?
@amitylee13@Jay_JayLuvsYa Well, even @RepThomasMassie recognizes we can’t cut taxes and keep spending. If we keep cutting taxes while spending, the inflation tax which isn’t voted on, will be worse than it is, imho. Out debt is too far gone at this point to keep cutting taxes.
@Chuck_L_Dodgson@RenoCiccotta Amen
The Republican Party left me, not the other way around. Independent until the party earns my contributions whether financially or with my vote.
