... On X, Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy (R), who cofounded a ranch and beef company, said he advised Trump against the plan. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond (R), himself a rancher, said flooding the market with imported beef hurts "farmers and ranchers who work every day to produce the best beef in the world" in an X post....
Not that I have any sympathy for beef producers.
FWIW,
It's the middlemen (packers) that rake in the dough and mistreat their workers on beef sales. The ranchers really do struggle.

Fine with me. I know them all too well from living in Montana 30 years. My disdain has nothing to do with their income. Rather, it's about their environmental impact and generally RW politics.

I've noticed over the past year or more that beef and pork quality has changed somehow. To me, neither taste like I think they should or how I expect them to. I don't know if it's because we get nothing but MAGA meat around here now or what. I'm thinking about going to a local place called Lazy J. They have their own farm here in the same county and have a retail store in town. it's probably expensive, but I've had it with this trump meat. Oh, the tv ads for this place say they have blond d'aquitane beef, so it's not trump stuff.
Yiannopoulos, a former editor of Breitbart News, previously served as an intern for Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former US representative, in 2022, and also worked on the 2024 White House campaign of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. It is unclear why Yiannopoulos might have been in Louisiana, but Ye is scheduled to perform in New Orleans on Friday night.
In a statement on Friday, a DHS spokesperson said that Yiannopoulos was arrested on Thursday at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans international airport (MSY). The spokesperson said Yiannopoulos “legally entered the country” in May 2019, but that “he chose to overstay his welcome in violation of our nation’s laws”.
The spokesperson said Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge on 22 July, “after failing to show up for his immigration hearing”.
“He will remain in ICE custody pending removal,” the spokesperson added. “This administration is working diligently to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport.”
Last year, in posts on social media, Yiannopoulos had been supportive of immigration enforcement in the US.
“California needs ICE checkpoints at supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersections and government buildings, with on the spot deportation for anyone who can’t prove they are in the US legally,” he wrote in a social media post in June 2025.
Hes also written that there should be zero immigration for the next twenty years as well as...
“There is one concrete thing we must insist on this administration delivering… We have got to deport millions and millions and millions of people. Without that, nothing else matters.”
Next flight, before Dementia Don can intervene. Good riddance.
Just stupid. He could have easily gotten an extension.
Milo failed to show up for his hearing some time ago. But other immigrants who do show up for their hearings are being arrested, detained, and even deported. In some cases to countries they have no connection to. \So, ignore the law and you get deported. Follow the law and you may still be ldeported. Just stupid.

Hell, he may net even be deported, but has been put up in some Georgetown mansion owned by a rich right wing nutjob.
Conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson said Friday that President Trump should be removed from office if he is considering using nuclear weapons first, saying even entertaining the possibility should disqualify a president from serving.
"The second any president actively considers the first use of nuclear weapons, that person should be removed from office immediately, because that's got to be the red line, destroying all of humanity with a nuclear strike," Carlson said.
Carlson made the comments during a conversation with Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center who resigned earlier this year in opposition to the war with Iran.
... Elbridge Colby, the undersecretary of defense for policy, earlier this month said at a conference that officials are looking to give the president and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth "credible, rational nuclear options."
Kent said he was concerned about where the administration could turn if conventional military options fail to get the outcome Trump wants in Iran.
"I think we would be fools to think that this couldn't happen here in this current scenario, especially as the administration scrambles for a way out," he said....

I made that comment somewhat in jest.....based on the fact that you can't believe much of anything the trump government says. They say they're abiding by court order while ignoring them (the flights to CECOT) or lying about immigration protestors being domestic terrorists or lies regarding many other matters. I personally do not care if Milo lives or dies nor whree this living or dying takes place.

Milo Yiannopoulos, the British far-right commentator who was arrested last week by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Louisiana and deported to the United Kingdom, has broken his silence about the experience, saying that "for the first time I know what it feels like to be really, really terrified".
Yiannopoulos on Tuesday appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, a YouTube show presented by Piers Morgan, the British broadcaster and media personality. Yiannopoulos, 41, described the experience in the US as "humiliating and disorientating", "physically degrading" and "frightening".
He also said that he was "ashamed" of his previous support for Donald Trump, who has pursued an agenda of mass deportation throughout his second presidency.
"I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America" he said, adding: "It's like everybody that's arrested is an MS-13 gang member, and it hurts a lot more than it looks like on television."
He was detained for one day.
... In the Piers Morgan interview, Yiannopoulos disputed the government's account and denied previously overstaying a visa. He said he is married to an American, and claimed he held a green card that he was "renewing on a two-year basis".
Dozy Don and ICE lie??? Say it ain't so.
Opps.
... During Tuesday's interview, Yiannopoulos said of his past support for Trump: "If I had any clue that anything remotely like this was even possible, I would never have gotten involved in supporting Trump in the first place and I'm very ashamed that I did."
The leopards, the leopards hurt so bad . Good on Milo for admitting the error of his ways, but waiting until he was busted makes it suspect.

Well, bless his poor, handsome heart. What a dumbass.....I've known all along trump is full of shit, never supported him, and am not concerned about being deported. I suspect this dumbass is only one of seven guys in the UK named Milo. I think even his parents hated him.
I've been seeing a lot of videos and articles about farmers lamenting they're hurting, many being forced to call it quits. Many of them clutching their pearls tightly when asked who they voted for.
I saw it pointed out elsewhere that somehow these farmers have managed to completely obliterate bipartisan political support they've had for probably over a century. In the past I think we've all believed in supporting our farmers, but it's been noted an overwhelming majority admit to voting for Donald Trump the last few elections, and there's a pretty clear cut cause and effect relationship between Trump admin policies and the continued demise of family farming. I reserve my sympathy for those who haven't chosen the current path.
