This week, President Trump lambasted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa over the way his country is treating its farmers. The incident arose after Trump had granted refugee status to 59 white South African farmers who claim they are being discriminated against and threatened with expropriation of their property by the government and murder by anti-white racists. Ramaphosa tried to explain that "my country has passed a law legalizing the seizure of land for public purposes just like your country allows for land to be taken from owners to fulfill public purposes. How can you be outraged over it?" Trump pointed...

In a bombshell segment featured on The Shawn Ryan Show, a podcast hosted by a former U.S. Navy SEAL and CIA contractor, Sarah Adams, who worked with the CIA as a targeter, revealed how he Department of Defense (DoD) wasted $60 million to teach Afghan women farming, despite the Taliban banning women from leaving home. For context, The Shawn Ryan Show is a popular podcast that often covers military and geopolitical topics, featuring insiders critical of U.S. policy. Ryan has interviewed prominent conservative figures such as Vivek Ramaswamy and has frequently criticised the massive waste in U.S. foreign policy. Describing...

Promises made, promises kept. “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One,” Donald Trump said on the campaign trail last summer. Critics claimed, without evidence, that Trump’s tariff plans would raise inflation. Many economists argued that while the rate of price increases might slow, prices would not decline and Americans would simply have to adjust to the new higher price level. In February, however, the core producer price index for final demand declined by 0.1 percent. In other words, prices of goods and services— excluding food and energy—sold by U.S. businesses came down. The broader...

Emboldened by the Supreme Court’s refusal to intervene, fired Biden holdover Hampton Dellinger is now fighting to reinstate 5000+ probationary workers fired by the Trump Administration. The Trump Administration recently fired thousands of probationary workers at the Department of Agriculture. President Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with a special counsel hired as a federal prosecutor) a few weeks ago. However, after several weeks of back-and-forth in the courts, corrupt Obama Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled in favor of Hampton Dellinger on Saturday and entered a judgment declaring his firing...

Well, who could've seen this coming? The UK's Labour government, in its infinite commie wisdom, decided that family farms should be treated like corporate cash cows. Jeremy Clarkson just joined the protest against the UK's commie plan to tax farmers out of existence and gave the BBC a piece of his mind If you haven't heard about Europe's communist war on farmers, it's time to start paying attention. Now, thanks to their brilliant 20% inheritance tax on agricultural land over £1 million, thousands of farmers have taken to the streets — again. [Warning: Language in the next video] VIDEO AT...

Javanese Princess, Raden Ajeng Kartini, is revered in Indonesia, the fourth biggest nation on earth by population, for advancing nationalism and women's rights by upholding family values. Her observations of the weather during a severe drought in 1903 make interesting reading: "For three longs weeks not a drop of rain has fallen. It is boiling hot as it has never been before, even in the dryest Oostmoesson. Father is in despair; the young rice in the fields is turning brown, Oh, our poor people! So far they have had enough to eat here and they do not know the most...

Momentum is building among Democrats to oust their ailing leader on the House Agriculture Committee, part of the party's generational shake-up on Capitol Hill in the wake of their demoralizing losses in November. Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.) — the committee’s current ranking member — faces a challenge from fellow Democratics Reps. Jim Costa of California and Angie Craig of Minnesota for the post in the next Congress. And, according to more than two dozen House Democratic lawmakers and aides granted anonymity to discuss the matter, Scott is poised to lose the vote if he doesn’t step aside before then. “The...

What started as a Texas farmer’s love for exotic chickens has led to armed federal agents storming her farm, killing her prized birds, and a possible 20-year prison sentence for bringing rare eggs into the country. Jennifer Mayo, who owns a chicken farm in South Texas, has found herself at the center of a federal smuggling case that has destroyed her business and left her fighting for her freedom. The farmer’s story begins with a passion project that grew into a flourishing business enterprise. She started with nine birds about five years ago. Her collection eventually expanded into 39 different...

When some attending the Democrat Convention in Chicago found maggots and crickets in their breakfasts their first instinct was to call the FBI. The FBI is currently trying to figure out how this happened. Director Christopher Wray said "domestic right-wing terrorists, MAGA people are at the top of our suspect list. We are currently searching through Trump's recent speeches to try to ascertain what code words he used to instigate his followers to do the deed." Others suggested that protesters opposed to the Israeli invasion of Gaza that have been protesting outside the Democratic convention might be responsible. Maggots were...

Democrats hate the gig economy, since they can’t force independent contractors to join unions (and thus rake off their union dues). So Biden’s NLRB issued a “joint-employer standard” to force companies to treat gig employees and subcontractors as subject to union representation. Well, a federal judge in Texas squashed that rule. Last week, a federal judge in Texas issued a ruling that struck down a new joint-employer standard by the U.S. National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that would have classified numerous companies as “employers” of specific contract and franchise employees, obligating them to negotiate with unions representing those workers. U.S....

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is urging governments to ban people from growing their own food. Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of WEF, asserted that "the dabbling of amateurs in food production is bad for the climate. The dispersed nature of home gardens makes them hard to regulate. Abolition is the best way to eradicate this undesirable use of scarce resources." "Our goals for the masses of zero meat and dairy consumption, zero automobile ownership, a maximum of three new items of clothing per person per year, and only one short-haul flight of less than 1500 km every 3 years...

Convoys of enraged farmers descended in massive numbers on the main European Union offices in Brussels this week as they encircled police to the backdrop of teargas and the stench of burning rubber, sending a brutal message to the WEF-controlled bloc they are not backing down. To blaring sounds of tractors’ horns, farmers attempted to break police barriers in fierce defiance of their globalist overlords. The 900 tractors joined the demonstrations coincided with a meeting of EU agriculture ministers.

Everyone always has new hacks and tips on how to save money. But it isn’t necessary to reinvent the wheel to change your financial situation. Instead, you can look to the frugal living tips from the Great Depression that a lot of our grandparents used. The Great Depression from 1929 to 1939, was the gravest economic downtown in U.S. history. The stock market crashed; the unemployment rate reached new heights; and industrial production was severely impacted. During the Depression, everyone had to learn how to scrimp and save and there’s a lot we can learn from that era today. Even...

Here, Vanguard, et al are doing for real what Stalin and the USSR were accused of doing. Except it is all of Ukraine that is being “liquidated” – physically, and before the eyes of the world. When people talk about “Ukrainian grain” they’re actually talking about grain that is now owned by US and EU mega-corporations such as Vanguard Group, Kopernik Global Investors, BNP Asset Management Holding, Goldman Sachs-owned NN Investment Partners Holdings, and Norges Bank Investment Management, which manages Norway’s sovereign wealth fund. Several large US pension funds, foundations, and university endowments are also invested in Ukrainian land through...

Florida is well-known for its alligators—they’re found in swamps, fields, and backyards, and they even can be seen crossing state roads on a regular basis. But while alligators are certainly common, giant, 13-foot gators that weigh nearly 1,000 pounds are not. And that’s exactly what the US Coast Guard found last month, the second-largest alligator Florida has ever seen. Attempting to Catch the Behemoth Gator Last month, US Coast Guard Licensed Captain Kaevin Brotz and his friends took on the brave and terrifying job of catching and killing a huge alligator that was spotted in a lake outside Orlando. The...

She was born in New York City on Sept 24, 1941, and died in Tucson, Arizona, in 1998. Perhaps the greatest Beatle mum. She had childhood fantasies of living in a log cabin and spent much of her life living with their kids on farms with Paul. Linda lead her man from the world’s 1960’s obsession with Beatlemania into a rural life raising a family. As his wife and as the mother to their children, she gave him the healthy base where he created what many people now see as the first two great Indie albums, “Ram”, a homage to...
