Bend the knee China. Bend the knee.
Say goodbye to your favorite Smithfield hams...
The swine flu problem I believe has impacted other countries too.
Did Dennis Rodman visit China recently?
***Boy, they didn’t see that coming! African Swine Fever (ASF) ***
They should have seen it coming! The US tried to get Mexico to stop pork trade with Cuba because ASF was endemic to that communist island. The fear was Mexico’s herds would be infected, and soon the US herds. And that was about FIFTY YEARS AGO!
Uh, David. Look up the correct meaning of "decimated". It means to destroy every tenth one, or 10%, not 30-35%.
How much Chinese money will find its way into the impeachment vote and Senate trial, I wonder? How many millions per Senator would assure they vote to convict?
“Did Dennis Rodman visit China recently”?
Rodman has always looked nasty. He’s gross in my book.
I said goodbye to Smithfield the second China bought them.
I’m not going to pay China for US raised meat.
Why do I suspect that some Chinese “students” and/or tourists are already being prepped to smuggle African Swine Fever viruses and the Fall Army Worms into the US?
The Chinese desperately want D J Trump out of the White House.
Genuine Smithfield hams [are those] cut from the carcasses of peanut-fed hogs, raised in the peanut-belt of the Commonwealth of Virginia or the State of North Carolina, and which are cured, treated, smoked, and processed in the town of Smithfield, in the Commonwealth of Virginia. None are imported from China.
*** Fall Armyworm...It can travel over sixty miles in a day***
Say what? Even the Kennedys back in the 1960s could only manage 40 miles a day walking! Remember, they were wanting people to get out and walk more back then.
Oh stop it. The term is now widely recognized to mean far more than 10%; such as “almost all”!
***Chinese “students” and/or tourists ***
Remember, a few years back, when some of the “animal rights” people went to Hoof and Mouth disease infected herds in England and tried to bring it back here to infect American herds?
They got caught before they could spread the disease around.
