🚨 THE BEEF CHECKOFF IS A MANDATORY TAX ON RANCHERS. Every time cattle sell, the government forces a $1/head deduction — funneling millions to private trade groups like packer aligned NCBA. In 2023 alone, NCBA grabbed $38.2 million — 68% of all checkoff funds — while lobbying

This was sent to me by a viewer. He recorded a conversation with a California DOT officer. The officer was clear that he wasn't supposed to enforce any ENGLISH PROFICIENCY laws. Secretary Sean Duffy .... This is what they think about safety in California

🚨 BREAKING: There needs to be an IMMEDIATE investigation into how Gavin Newsom’s California handed a 21-year-old a CDL who just caused that horrific wreck on the 10 Freeway. His name still hasn’t been released — and that’s beyond suspicious. I’m absolutely LIVID over this.

Gavin Newsom gave this dude a CDL. He doesn’t speak English, he’s illegal, and he’s high. He killed 3 people with his truck yesterday. Gavin did this.

Just another day at White Oak Pastures where cattle are turning grass into beef and dirt into soil. Beef isn't just "what's for dinner," it's what is going to restore our landscapes and rebuild our communities. @kawasakiUSA
