Update on the Maudes! Their case goes to trial April 29th. We don’t have much time.
WOW: New California Home Ownership Data - Nearly 20% of homes in California are owned by investors - Investors purchased 26.8% of all residential property sales during the first quarter of 2025 - Sierra County has a whopping 82% of single-family houses owned by investors -…
The permanent 100% solution to the Tijuana River Sewage Crisis we signed yesterday in Mexico City is a massive win for our environment, our border, the U.S.-Mexico relationship, and for the millions of people who have been impacted by this crisis.
Ultra-processed foods are driving our chronic disease epidemic. We must act boldly to eliminate the root causes of chronic illness and improve the health of our food supply. Defining ultra-processed foods with a clear, uniform standard will empower us even more to Make America…
Dozens of scientific studies have found links between the consumption of foods often considered ultra-processed with numerous adverse health outcomes. HHS and @US_FDA are working with @USDA to establish a federally recognized uniform definition for ultra-processed foods—a…
@americaunwon updates us on the situation with the 175 year old generational farm in New Jersey. The state is moving ahead with plans to seize the farm for a housing development. Outrageous, especially when we consider that abandoned buildings are everywhere across New Jersey.
Despite scrutiny from Agriculture Secretary Rollins and national media attention, Cranbury, NJ is moving forward to seize the 175 year-old Henry farm americaunwon.com/p/pandoras-box…
A sign that immigration (yes even legal) is out of control. -82% of all new tech jobs in the last year went to H1B visa holders -58% of recent (graduated within the last year) are unemployed
We are smiling with you, Mr. President! 😄 @USTradeRep Thrilled to see Australia open its market to U.S. beef! So grateful for President Trump’s leadership, resulting in the unprecedented breaking down of trade barriers & ensuring our ranchers will have the opportunity to feed…
The UN is signaling that "failing to protect the planet from climate change" will be treated as a violation of international law in the future. Translation: Pay protection money to far left NGO’s like we demand or we’ll come after you. The US needs to LEAVE and DEFUND the UN!

🚨 BREAKING - PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in INDIA... Under President Trump, those days are OVER!”
Congress must shine a light on D.C.’s hidden backroom deals. Transparency is non-negotiable. That’s why I’ve introduced legislation alongside @SenMikeLee to ensure D.C. officials are accountable to the public and Congress.
Here @USDA, we are refocusing our core operations to better align with President Lincoln’s founding mission of supporting American farming, ranching, and forestry, as well as serving American taxpayers.
Here is something to get your blood heated up first thing in the morning. @MagazineRange @americaunwon @yearlins @LonesomeLands @trentloos @sacpaaz
July 19, 2025 At a Colorado Parks & Wildlife Commission meeting, commissioner Glenn Parton proposed that the state or federal government could buy out remote ranches even via eminent domain to reduce wolf–livestock conflicts.
Great move USDA reorganization will move most of its Washington staff ‘closer to’ farmers politico.com/news/2025/07/2…
American cattle producers fought for mandatory country of origin labeling in the 2002 and 2008 Farm Bills, and won. Then Congress repealed it. Not because American cattle producers asked, but at the request of global beef packers.
Found out that a beautiful horse ranch I grew up near where my sister got a great paint gelding was sold to some Chinese billionaires. In other words, the CCP. In middle-of-nowhere Laytonville, California. Wildly depressing
I keep seeing this same response from different people every time I post about the unemployment rate for young college grads. It’s just not accurate anymore. The majors with the highest unemployment rates now include computer science & engineering. The same fields that Zoomers…
H1Bs are typically for STEM jobs. Those 58% of students (at least a large portion of them) probably have a liberal arts degree.
VP Vance goes after Microsoft for firing Americans while still applying for H-1B visas: "That math worries me. I don't want companies to fire 9,000 American workers and then go and say they can't find workers here in America. That's a bulls*** story."
An important note of this is that it's not just country music that is exploding. It is southern/south western country culture. It is seemingly the last vestige of "Americana". There is little that is distinctive of someone from LA, NY, or Chicago. You could pluck anyone from…
I don’t think people realize how quickly the American country music genre is growing. 10x revenue in 25 years. Why?

American country/folk artists like Zach Bryan represent the cultural product of a certain people, time, and place— and should be appreciated as such. I think many coastal conservative intellectual types fail to see importance of the genre, maybe out of a desire to be seen as…
When I grew up poor in Mao’s China, we lived on food rations with 2.7 lbs protein (all meats/eggs) total per month for a family of 5. Boiling veggies was a common dish because pork fat or oil was a luxury. Is this want you want from Mamdani’s gov grocery stores? Socialism Sucks!
