The usda has way more power than anyone realizes Here are a few things they could fix tomorrow that would change everything… End the federal farm subsidies. Unhealthy processed food may appear cheap, but you’re still paying for it. That’s because you, the taxpayer, via the USDA, subsidize mega-farmers to grow low quality, pesticide intensive food, like GMO corn and soy. The law that started this system was passed during WWII to ensure a consistent food supply, but it’s no longer necessary. If we’re going to subsidize anyone, it should be small farmers who grow quality, nutrient dense food. Not large farms (who don’t need the money anyway) using toxic chemicals to grow nutrient-void crops. End the crop insurance scam. One of the many reasons why farmers prefer to grow pesticide-ridden mono crops is because they are easy to insure. So long as the farmer planted the correct Monsanto seeds and sprayed the right Monsanto pesticides at the right time; should the crops fail, they will be covered. Insurance is complex, and the more standardized the insured system is, the easier it is to insure. There are many cases where farmers will make more money from a failed crop than a successful one because of this payout. It’s not immediately clear how to solve this. But any incentives that encourage farmers to grow less quantity or quality of food are inherently harmful to the country and disrespectful of our land, and should be fixed. Legalize raw milk. The main reason we even have pasteurization is because refrigeration wasn’t widespread when these laws were written. But now we have it. Not only does the raw milk ban deprive Americans of an entire category of nutrient dense foods, it also increases the centralization of the industry and makes costs higher. Instead of selling to a dairy processor that then resells it to the stores, the removal of the processing middlemen would increase the localization and decrease costs of dairy products. Revamp organic standards. USDA Organic is a valuable certification of quality, but it has been greenwashed by large food producers who find loopholes (often involving imported foods) or violate the spirit of the law. These should be reevaluated and eliminated, the standards made more stringent, and USDA subsidies should be available to any farm that would like to be certified but is unable to afford the certification process. Stop paying for fallow land. The USDA pays farmers outright to leave millions of acres fallow every year. While there can be important conservation reasons for leaving land un-utilized, in recent years this program has been wielded politically in order to control the quantity and quality of the food supply. If land can be ecologically farmed/grazed, and we know from Allan Savory’s work that proper farming techniques are actually beneficial to the land, then it should be. There’s no good reason for us to spend taxpayer dollars to produce less food, as it only increases the prices of food for American consumers and leaves us strategically vulnerable to potential shortages. Require ingredient labels on produce. Pure produce was never required to display ingredient labels, because until very recently, there were no other ingredients than what you can see with your own two eyes. Sadly, that has changed. Many fruits and vegetables are coated with synthetic waxes or other substances designed to preserve freshness or improve appearance. If these substances are used, the produce should be clearly labeled so consumers can choose whether or not they want to buy produce with those additives. ….

It’s good that Trump protected white South Africans. But why only them?

@followffoz 2 Corinthians 5:1 TLV [1] For we know that if the tent, our earthly home, is torn down, we have a building from God—a home not made with human hands, eternal in the heavens. On Sabbath, we celebrate God's completed works - past, present, and future. The Tabernacle as foretaste.

@smashbaals The IA is pretty accurate. It just left out by His grace and for His Glory.

@smashbaals I asked Grok by way of Aristotle "I’m a Christian because God made me His through Yeshua (efficient/material), to reflect Him and live for Him (formal/final), by a process of hearing and believing (mechanistic), all for the purpose of being with Him forever (teleological)."

What is God asking you to do today, and are you going to say yes?

Property taxes are an assault on the American dream. If you work hard and pay off a home, no one should be able to take it from you. Property tax makes everyone a renter with the worst landlord of all time: The Government. Ban property tax and restore the American dream!

This is right here! It's great having politicians that behave like normal people, and not like the elitist career swamp rats that we have had for way too long.

I love following history through the Bible. The kids love seeing the sites named and described in the Bible, and the archeological sites that have been uncovered.

Becoming a homeschooling mom was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. I love the extra time I get to spend with my kids and watching them light up as they learn new things. What is one thing you do as a homeschooling parent that you want to share with others?

This family hits so close to home for me. My son is the same age as him. Literally within a day of him. As a mom, I can't imagine my son growing up as much as he has in the past 464 days in captivity. I have been praying every day for the Bibas and won't stop until they're home🎗

This 1-year-old baby has been held hostage for 464 days. He was kidnapped when he was just 9 months old. In 6 days, he will mark his 2nd birthday in Gaza. Where is the outrage? Where is the world? Where are the world leaders? Where is everyone?

In a world of Selena Gomez's, Beyonce's and Taylor Swift's...Be a @PreislerKa, @jk_rowling and @Riley_Gaines_. These are the types of women I rather my daughter look up to. The Esther's & Ruth's of our time that lead by example. Fight for what is right, despite what others say.

@elonmusk The original expectation of government by the people for the people was that public service would be just that; the honor of rendering a service. We added 6 figures to avoid the abuses of Grant's admin. Their greed said again, 'Not enough.'

@MarioNawfal "I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me, and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun."Lost by open borders & govt waste?

Ex.18:18 You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone. Matt.19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Do you delegate well?
