I have no problem with Israel being Israel first and defending themselves

I don’t want to give them my money- you can if you want to

An estimated 421,972 Muslims live in Texas. This represents 1.68% of the state's population, making Texas the state with the largest Muslim population in the United States. The Muslim population in Texas is a growing and diverse community, with significant concentrations in Houston and Dallas

I have no idea about it but what does our GROWING INSANE Muslim population think ?

Half a million mF'ers that hate us


You do know that giving taxpayer money to Israel does nothing to reign in Muslime extremist in Texas?

WTF is the San Marcos city council even doing discussing Israel and Palestine?!


Thats your take on the story? Not that millions of taxpayer money is going to support a country half the world away who has plenty of money?

He's going to be ripped as a China shill, but as I've said on here before, I think the right has a kind of hysteria/paranoia over China the way the left does with Russia.


First of all China >>>> Russia in every way that could hurt the US
Also Chinese culture is the opposite of traditional western culture

The gop wings of the Mike Johnsons, Lindsey Grahams, Tom Cottons still wrongly think Russia is a bigger threat than China because they make money off of Chinese dealings

Of course farms get subsidies to grow corn for ethanol


no they don't
Show me what usda program gives ethanol subsidies

quote:

corporate farms but those corporate farms aren’t singular farms in many instances. They are 3-4 large farms consolidated under a corporation to produce said corn for said corporation at the expense of the corporation which receives subsidies that they pass on to the farmers


Give me a real life example of this
If this is happening all over - it shouldn't be hard to find

And that's a result of Trump 1.0 and his trade policies


No it isn't. They were already starting to switch their buying to SA before Trump got elected - they've been pouring billions into SA infrastructure improvements for 15-20 years
quote:

hey can and do but subsidies come with strings attached that most small farms aren’t large enough to produce a tangible amount.


Thats not how it works

No farm directly get ethanol subsides - ethanol keeps the price inflated.

100ac of good corn aph ground will get just as much money through arc or crop ins per acre as 1000ac

Sounds like your dad's farm was a victim of economies of scale

Also 500ac ore 1000ac isn't a big, corporate farm
quote:

Let’s get a couple of things straight: the American farmer did this to themselves a long time ago when they became reliant on subsidies that the small farmer doesn’t get to farm corn and soybeans that the market doesn’t need or want. I can understand that they are upset but again it is self inflicted. Small farmers like my dad were pushed out of the market by corporations and now we are paying the price


Why don’t small farmers get subsidies?

Your dad might’ve been pushed out by corporations but it wasn’t farming corporations
It was Cargill, Bayer, JD, etc

i recently read that china has the largest pork farm and they supply something like 80% of the pork to the U.S.


This is totally untrue
quote:

Currently for cotton and the grains it’s depressing situation.
Takes a bumper crop to pay bank back… not make money but to cover expenses


yea but that wasn't caused by tariffs

It was caused by the whole American food system thats been bad for the American farmer for years but the govt gives us a little bit of money here and there so most stay in business and JD and the bank can get paid and Farm Bureau then pats themselves on the back

How many pork producers (aka Hawg Fahmahs) do you know?


China owns 25% of the pigs in the US so they are hurting their own company

Maybe Smithfield will go under

sequestration. And some of the largest, most appropriate sources of clean CO2 are ammonia and LNG plants, so sequestering close to those means short distances transferring the CO2


Why are we even doing this anyway? The trees, pastures and rice fields in Allen parish naturally sequester more carbon than this scheme could ever hope for

We have a 21 with 140k miles thats only been in the shop once to fix the stupid automatic suspension shite they put on the vehicle

For some reason, Bannon has a problem with Elon. Seems to me like Bannon is jealous.


Because Bannon is a true right wing populist and views Elon as a Tech oligarch - which in some ways he is
Because Mike Johnson, and others like him don't have the same political leanings as Trump or Vance. If it was up to them the Gop would go back to Romney, Bush conservatism

Where? Jackson, Union, Claiborne...sure, but not Lincoln or Ouachita.

I thought crawfish were going to be more expensive this year because they always go up in price and nobody was going to be able to afford to boil them?

There was a shortage, it was well documented. WTF


Because the govt killed chickens they didn't need to
And because Cal-Maine has a monopoly on the egg supply and some German company has monopoly on laying hens which allows them to artificially reduce supply
Trump DOJ is investigating Cal-Maine
