A plague that can kill you in 24 hours is rapidly spreading in Russia right now but don't worry folks, Donald Trump eliminated the Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, and Elon Musk defunded the CDC

Alzheimers.
One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today.
He's not interested.
He's a nasty piece of work.
No cow-calf producer in America is asking for increased imports. Undercutting American farmers and ranchers with inferior product from foreign competitors does nothing to create market confidence or encourage rebuilding the herd.
Flooding the market with imported beef will hurt American ranchers without saving consumers money at the grocery store.
President Trump just announced a plan to bring more lower-priced foreign beef into the U.S. in an effort to bring down grocery prices. Bringing in more imported beef may sound like a quick way to lower prices, but Farm Action’s research shows it’s unlikely to make much difference for consumers at the grocery store.
The beef industry is highly concentrated, with a handful of large meatpackers and retailers controlling much of the market. When they can buy beef more cheaply, there’s no guarantee they’ll pass those savings along to consumers.
What we’re more likely to see is downward pressure on the prices American ranchers receive. That’s especially concerning right now because the U.S. cattle herd is at a historic low and we need ranchers to keep more cattle and rebuild their herds. Strong cattle prices give them a reason to do that.
Flooding the market with cheaper imported beef will weaken that incentive and work against the administration’s own goal of rebuilding American cattle production.
If we want to bring beef prices down for consumers for the long term, we need to rebuild our domestic cattle supply and bring more competition into the beef industry.
NATIONAL CATTLEMEN'S ASSOCIATION:
".. NCBA is disappointed by the President’s statement. ..
.. flooding the market with government-subsidized, below-market beef is not the way to rebuild the American cattle herd."

We understand why beef prices are a problem right now. Ground beef is averaging $6.89 a pound, up 57% since 2021, and that's real pressure on American families.
But flooding the market with 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef with no tariff for 90 days is not a solution for American ranchers. It's a short-term price fix that puts more downward pressure on the cattle producers who are already struggling to stay viable. Trump has not said which countries this beef is coming from or who committed to the 25% price reduction he's promising.
American cattle ranchers have been dealing with years of drought, high feed costs, and a shrinking herd. The answer to that is not more cheap imported beef with lower standards competing against them on shelves with no country of origin label required to tell you the difference.
We will continue to source 100% American. That is not changing.
NEWS: The nation’s largest cattle industry group is blasting Donald Trump’s plan to flood the U.S. market with cheaper foreign beef, warning it is already hurting American farmers and ranchers.
RFK Jr has cut funding Alzheimers research.
Yes Alzheimers. Dementia.
One of the most urgent, devastating, and rapidly increasing health problems we face today.

Nasty.
This story is not being covered by some "news" outlets. I think it's kind of a big deal, especially if you're Olympian David Hearn, and your name has been dragged through the mud by those same "news" outlets.
