Why I am advocating for preemptive noncompliance in regards to the eID mandate. A thread.

Right hip. Montana/Wyoming

Lots of people on X coming up with novel ideas and treatments for dealing with NWSW. No need! They pretty well have it figured in South America, and they are willing to share what they know.

There is a point at which tolerance becomes not only unreasonable but also immoral.

If you see anyone attacking @SecRollins or Donald Trump over new world screwworm and not Mexican leadership’s gangster extortion of US taxpayers, then you know they’re just DNC activists. The American taxpayer has borne all costs for science and prevention of New World screwworm (NWS) for over 70 years. We spent tens of millions of dollars eradicating it at home in the 50s-60s, then 20-50 million pushing the barrier south of Mexico between the 70s and 80s, effectively (thanklessly) taking care of their problem for them. Maintenance of the barrier via the Darien Gap sterile fly project was established in the 90s with massive American investments in sterile fly facilities and on the ground treatments that cost Americans $15 million a year since the 90s. We do these generous scientific programs as the benefits to Americans outweigh the costs. More recent emergency interventions include $100 million dollar emergency investments in 23 and 24 ($300 m total at this point over 3 years) plus upgrades to Mexican sterile fly facilities in 25 for another $20 m on top of the $15 m annual programmatic spend in normal years. Since Trump 2, the Mexican government has put up obstacles to extract more money from us and score points against Donald Trump. They’ve limited our APHIS planes that drop sterile flies, they only let our planes fly 6 of 7 days a week, they’ve restricted pilot access and facilities access and slowed down logistics every way they can. They put huge duties on plane parts and imported dispersal equipment, and even on the shipments of sterile flies for a program where the American taxpayer is already paying the entire bill. It’s outrageous! So on top of American taxpayers paying for all aspects of the prevention (sterile fly production, facilities, dispersal throughout Mexico and Central America) they want more payments and concessions from us or else they make implementing the program a bureaucratic hell. This mentality, by the way, is extremely common for all sorts of foreign aid spanning all sectors from medicine to water supply to ag. Graft and bribes on top of direct costs for aid that you’re already paying for is common across the third world and the U.S. payer just had to take it up until Rubio changed the model. But sure, Mexicans “built” my country or whatever. Lmfao.

It's worth noting that this is a direct result of open border policies, and that the NWSW breached the Darien Gap via the migrant caravans.

People are asking why there isn't more plans, celebrations, and anticipation for America's 250th as there was for the 200th, and I think it's simply because 30%-50% of people in America now aren't Americans.

So the ID & paperwork system that was designed to protect animals from disease, now causes 271 healthy animals to be shot in a paddock because the paperwork was wrong. Make it make sense....

June 5th. A sunny day between rains.

Canada imports virtually no cattle from Texas. This is a Nothing-Burger.

If you've ever ate a burger at a fast food joint, you've most likely ate meat from a cow that had screwworm at some point in its life. NWS is endemic to Central and South America, and dealing with it is a common, daily task for ranchers there.

30 days post planting. It's fairly uneven, as conditions across the field were uneven, but there's something growing everywhere. Overall I'm happy so far and fairly impressed with my kiwi drill.

Everytime I go to a grocer, I ask the Meat Departments how Beef is doing, and they always say "Can't keep it on the shelves!" Yes, Beef has gone up in price, but so has everything else, and comparatively speaking is a better value now than it has been in the past.

Hey Montana farmers are you aware that 15,000 organizations in your state are probably stealing your tax money and giving it to foreigners

FOREIGN-BORN WORKERS ACCOUNTED FOR ABOUT 90% OF NEW U.S. JOBS CREATED SINCE COVID, ACCORDING TO BLS DATA

We got a huge one on the west llano. They destroyed the stable topsoil, removed all vegetation, created hardscape. We now alternate between haboobs and flooding that washes out the main irrigation delivery ditch.

Everyone talks a lot about transplants, but the greediest most destructive people I’ve met regarding rural land development are always the area’s heritage residents

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that America needs a recession/depression. Probably 50% of our current problems would go away
