@GetOnTap It changes nothing. They can already process their own meat. They need to be able to sell it directly to the public. Another scam like most of what he does.

A police chief in Oshkosh, Wisconsin caught Flock lying to his city council, and killed the $8 billion surveillance company's contract less than a day after the council had approved it.

Here's how it happened.

The night before, Oshkosh's council was set to renew its deal with Flock Safety, the license plate camera company backed by a16z and Tiger Global.

One council member asked the Flock rep a plain yes-or-no question. Does this system build a heat map of everywhere a specific car travels over time?

Flock's rep said no.

The council believed him and voted 5 to 2 to renew. By the next morning, Chief Dean Smith's own officers had told him that answer was false.

So he pulled up the system himself. He watched it generate the exact heat map Flock had just sworn it couldn't make.

Then he walked into an emergency meeting and said it out loud: "Because of this misrepresentation, I can no longer recommend Flock."

Understand what a heat map is, because it's the whole trick.

Flock sells cities a tidy little story. A car drives by, we snap a photo, we read the plate, that's all it is.

But the same system can quietly average out where your car goes day after day and paint your routine onto a map.

Not one snapshot at one corner. Your pattern. Where you sleep, where you work, where you keep going back and how often.

A Flock employee later admitted on the record that the software does exactly that.
So the pitch and the product are two different things. The company wins the contract selling a plate reader, then sits on a moving map of your life.

The only reason Oshkosh caught it was one skeptical question and a police chief who bothered to check the answer.

The vote to rescind was 7 to 0. Unanimous.

Flock called the whole thing "one small misconception" from a long meeting and said it was disappointed nobody let it explain.

A surveillance company worth eight billion dollars got caught lying about whether it maps where you drive. Its defense was that the lie was small.

Oshkosh got one honest answer by accident. Congress can make it the rule.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Foreign cash found a side door... Israel is now buying ads on Ted Cruz’s podcast.

He can’t take the money himself, but under a quiet licensing deal, that revenue gets routed to a super PAC that exists for one purpose: keeping Ted Cruz in office.

It's a legal loophole that turns foreign ad dollars into campaign fuel.

I talked to a restauranteur in Northern NV this week. Asked him if he would take my beef directly. He said he was precluded by the two monopolist food distributors US Foods and Sysco from getting meat from other sources or they would charge them more for all of their other food supplies. It is not just the Big Four meat processors, it is the Big Two distribution firms too. Ranchers don’t directly see this nor do consumers. @SecretaryBurgum @SecRollins @realDonaldTrump

The Chief Rabbi of the State of Israel, Rabbi David Yosef said today that the Palestinian people do not exist, do not have rights, that it is good that Gaza was destroyed and that with the help of God, all of Gaza and the West Bank will be Jewish soon. The Jewish religion is being used as a tool of genocide. This is not a fringe rabbi. This is the most important rabbi in Israel.

@GoodRanchers Ironically, Trump is the most anti American president in history.

I raise Angus , today’s comments on beef by the Whitehouse show a complete lack of empathy or understanding on the subject. Warning strong language to follow….How in the fuck does importing beef from a foreign source help American ranchers dumb fuck? Anything being done to increase the amount of non FOREIGN owned meat processors ? How about the gift to vets, the VCPR that screwed over mom and pop family farms. Like we don’t have enough crap to do besides paperwork you clusterfucks. We used to be able to give our own vaccines and order them online, saving a vet farm call and markups. Now we have additional costs, headaches and vets that won’t answer emergency calls. If you want to know why beef is so high look no further than your fucking government,,,,,grrrrrrrrr ….

Off-Duty Cop Mistakes Cigarette For Drugs…

In Marysville, Michigan, Jake Kidder was washing his truck at a self serve car wash. An off duty police officer claims to have seen a black man in a Cadillac hand a suspicious bag to Mr. Kidder.

Assuming he handed him drugs, he called his on-duty buddies, who responded within minutes. They confronted Mr. Kidder, who responded that the black man was his coworker, who handed him a cigarette.

This occurred in St. Clair County, Michigan.

She was on a ventilator for weeks. Doctors said people rarely survive burns that extensive. When she woke up, the first thing she asked was whether her children were alive.

💢 U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Friday night that, “thanks to the U.S. Navy,” oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz are averaging more than 8 million barrels a day over the past seven days. That’s below the nearly 9 million Wright touted last week and the roughly 10 million U.S. officials told Axios this week.

Drop Site sat down with oil analyst @Rory_Johnston, who says tanker trackers see just 4–6 million barrels a day, with neither ship movements nor Gulf loadings supporting Washington’s claims.

A week ago Johnston called the numbers an exaggeration. Now, he says, they look “more like fiction.” The tankers that would substantiate those numbers, he notes, simply aren’t reappearing in tracking data.

Multiple patients at a Nashville hospital are paralyzed after staff accidentally gave them the wrong drugs.

The hospital says they are "sorry" after injecting potassium chloride into the spines of people getting routine joint replacement surgeries.

Hospital staff noticed something was off when multiple patients went into cardiac arrest.

If Trump really wanted to lower beef prices he would support Massie’s PRIME Act which allows individual states to permit local custom slaughterhouses to sell individual cuts of meat directly to consumers, restaurants, and grocery stores within that same state. But instead the Big Four major meat processors in America control over 85% of the market and consequently the cost of processing meat is high. But with Massie’s PRIME Act, small processors would be allowed to compete and would drive down costs. It would also help smaller meat producers to sell their beef to local markets.

And we need Country of Origin labeling for foreign imported and foreign processed meats. Americans deserve to know where the meat they are buying to feed themselves and their families is coming from, and we have the right to reject it based on its country of origin.

Both of these I cosponsored and are Republican sponsored bills, why won’t the Republican controlled Congress pass these bills?

Why won’t the Republican elected President support these legislations which are America First?

The answer is the Big Four meat processors and their well paid lobbyists roam the halls of congress and get to go to meetings and fundraisers at the White House and YOU don’t!

“I got no response from Chuck Schumer’s office. I got no response from the American embassy.”

Dr. Mark Perlmutter told @amanpour that after Israel killed World Central Kitchen workers in March 2024, he repeatedly contacted New York Senator Schumer’s office and U.S. embassies seeking protection for himself and other American doctors volunteering in Gaza, as they were set to travel the same roads.

Leaving Gaza, he said he saw a line of aid trucks stretching roughly 31 miles, eight abreast, with food rotting inside as Israel blocked them from entering.

“That is enough to surround Gaza three to five times with trucks of supplies that Israel was not letting in.” Famine was declared in Gaza in July 2025.

🚨WOW!!!

A lady in Tennessee is being hailed as a HERO after she rescued a KIDNAPPED 12-year-old girl as she came running out of the woods, barefoot and covered in scratches, and collapsed into a ditch on the side of the highway, attempting to escape.

Cars kept driving past her.

One woman looked in her rearview mirror and thought: somebody will stop for that baby.

...BUT NOBODY DID!!!

So she turned around. 🇺🇸

Her name is Jennifer Maxwell.

She was driving home from her job as a healthcare caregiver on Sunday afternoon, on US-421 in Erwin, North Carolina.

That's when she saw a little girl come out of the treeline, run down the embankment, and drop into the ditch, sobbing.

Jennifer slowed down. She watched her mirror. She waited for somebody else to do something.

Not one car stopped.

So she turned her vehicle around, pulled up, and rolled down her window.

"Baby, are you okay?"

And the little girl said: "No. I've been kidnapped."

Jennifer asked if she was serious.

She was serious.

She had no shoes on. Just a big T-shirt and shorts. Her arms and legs were torn up with scratches from running through the brush.

She had been walking in those woods for TWO HOURS.

Investigators say the man kept pushing her, grabbing her by the shoulder, forcing her to keep moving deeper into the trees.

That 12-year-old girl got away from him ON HER OWN.

She ran. She made it to the road. And then she needed one adult in America to stop the car.

Jennifer got her inside, locked the doors, and called 911.

She drove her straight to the Erwin Police Department. Then she took deputies BACK to the spot where she found her, so they could search the right woods.

They found him in the treeline that night.

Daniel Francis Gear, 38. Charged with first-degree kidnapping and assault on a female. Bond set Monday at $2.5 MILLION.

She won't take the word hero.

"I just thank God that I was there, cause if it was my daughter, I'd want someone to be there also."

BE THE ONE WHO TURNS AROUND!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
