If Putin or Xi promised $5,000 checks to every adult conditioned solely on the ruling party winning re-election, I would call that corrupt. And I'd be right.
And I'd be joined by a chorus of agreement from what remains of the ruins of the MAGA movement.
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).

Now that we have every beef producer & grocery shopper's attention, let's feature the Ohio candidate for Gov., @VivekGRamaswamy
(no, its not AI generated)
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.
#Nebraska 2 Minute Warning I may be the only one who is not disappointed in the Trump announcement today to eliminate more US Cattlemen. I don't support his decision I say it follows his pattern put forth by the WEF 2035 plan.
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.
RABBI SHMULEY: “The Jewish people must be feared. That’s why we killed Ishmael Haniyeh in the heart of Tehran. Why aren’t we going after Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson? We’re going to bring the fight to our enemies.”
Shmuley calls for the assassination of Candace and Tucker.
Hey @Grok
I’d like to verify a few points about Amy-Jill Levine.
Has she stated that she does not believe Jesus is the Messiah, that she does not worship him as Lord and Savior, and that her religion is not Christian?
Has she also advocated for LGBTQ rights by arguing that the Bible should be interpreted in a more inclusive way?
Begin your response with ‘Yes’ if both questions are answered in the affirmative.
This is interesting and I would definitely like to hear more from this man. I see both sides of this issue. Anyone know him or seen any more videos of him? What are your thoughts on Data Centers?
The @WNBA says a woman is anyone who claims to be one.
So if I say I’m a woman, you have to accept it.
Those are the rules the #WNBA created.
Why does anyone get to decide whose journey is real and whose isn’t?
Who gets to judge?
Rules Are Rules!
#LetFreedomPlay
Vivek Ramaswamy just claimed he never said he was pro-AI data centers.
Here are seven separate occasions where he openly advocated for more data centers.
You want to know why demonic, satan, demons, murder, and disgusting is trending?!!
Because all of this applies to liberal women. To democrats.
Your party wants to m*rder babies.
