It is often joked about in the rural sections, that the USDA is the only federal agency that’s success is measured by the number of constituents it kills off.  Unfortunately, this is the sole purpose of the USDA and its mission.  The centralization of agriculture, through the USDA, began during the Lincoln administration.  This administration ushered in the end of the old republic and not surprisingly was full of Marxists.  It wasn’t until the 1930s however, that the USDA really began to work its collectivist magic.   Continue reading “The Consolidation and Collectivization of American Agriculture”

The spending bill passed by Congress on Friday repealed the country-of-origin labeling (COOL) regulation that let consumers know where their meat came from.

The decision follows a ruling from the World Trade Organization (WTO) that found the labels discriminate against meat raised and slaughtered outside the United States. The WTO permitted Mexico and Canada to impose more than $1 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods in retaliation if the labels were not pulled from packages of beef and pork. The nations are the U.S.’s top agriculture partners. [1]     Continue reading “Congress Decided we Don’t Deserve to Know Where Meat Comes From”

Backwoods Resistance – by Scott M. Terry

In 2013 Smithfield Farms, the world’s largest pork producer, was purchased by a Chinese company that is owned by a member of the Communist Party of China . There was a big stumbling block for this purchase, the state of Missouri had wisely banned the foreign ownership of farmland. The law, which dated back to 1978, was an example of some basic commonsense. Unfortunately, Smithfield bought enough legislators to have the law changed. The law they passed, just in time for the Chinese purchase, allowed up to 1 percent of Missouri’s agricultural land to come under foreign ownership. The average American, sees little wrong with this. With no understanding of history, a lust for cheap food and cheap consumer goods, why would they have a problem with it?   Continue reading “China Buying US Farmland and The Lesson of Hengist and Vortigern”

Americans don’t realize how much we get ripped off on practically everything in this country. 

That’s why people were rejoicing so hard when big pharma dbag Martin Shkreli was arrested. He bought up the patent for a drug that costs about $13.50 a pill (that people pay about a nickel for in, say, India) and started charging $750 bucks for it, a sum which people who take that drug were forced to pay or die, something he can legally do in this country.   Continue reading “Even Funerals Are a Giant Financial Scam in America”

Jazz Shaw does raise a good point about where the openly and avowedly communist mayor of Gotham has been on this issue when even Texans haven’t been able to escape the fetid “transgenderist” tide.  But de Blasio is now making up for that lost tide with a vengeance and a fury that this country has never witnessed.

(Yes, it’s the hokey Magneto line from X-Men III: The Last Stand.  Given Ian McClellan’s retrograde “leanings,” it seemed appropo):   Continue reading “New York City Mandates Transgenderism”

A British Muslim family of 11 on their way to Southern California was denied access to their plane by US Department of Homeland Security officials without explanation. Now a UK politician is calling on her government to investigate.

The perception is that a “widespread condemnation of Donald Trump’s call for no Muslim to be allowed into America contrasts with what is going on in practice,” Labour MP Stella Creasy wrote in the Guardian Tuesday, reacting to multiple cases of UK Muslims being inexplicably prohibited from traveling to the US.   Continue reading “US blocks British Muslim family from flight to see American relatives, Disneyland”

DENVER (AP) — A Denver man who spent more than a quarter-century in prison for an attack he denies committing walked free Tuesday, locking arms with his wife as his tearful children applauded and his grandkids embraced a man they had never met.

Clarence Moses-EL, 60, had just posted a $50,000 bond that a judge required for his freedom after she overturned his 1988 conviction on rape and assault charges and found that he would likely be acquitted if his case went to trial again. Moses-EL was convicted after the victim identified him, saying his face came to her in a dream.   Continue reading “Man held decades in Colorado for rape he denies walks free”

The St. Paul Pioneer Press (http://bit.ly/1IlqLsj ) reports that Gallagher told investigators that he went to his mother’s downtown Minneapolis apartment on Thursday to help her clean and that he called 911 the next morning and said he had killed her.   Continue reading “Prosecutor: Son, upset about bedbugs, killed elderly mother”

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — More than 3,000 prisoners in Washington have been mistakenly released early since 2002 because of an error by the state’s Department of Corrections that resulted in wrongly calculated sentences for about 3 percent of the prison population.

At a news conference announcing the error Tuesday, Gov. Jay Inslee said he has ordered immediate steps to correct the longstanding computer glitch. “Frankly, it is maddening,” Inslee said. Authorities say a July 2002 state Supreme Court ruling required the Corrections Department to apply good-behavior credits earned in county jail to state prison sentences. However, the programming fix ended up giving prisoners with sentencing enhancements too much so-called good time credit.   Continue reading “More than 3,000 Washington prisoners mistakenly freed early”
