Beef prices are at an all-time high. Here's why it's gotten so expensive
Shoppers are seeing record high beef prices at the grocery store. That’s in part because the number of cattle in the U.S. is at an all-time low, while consumer demand has remained strong.
In the past, ranchers used to worry whether people would eat beef.
That’s not a concern anymore, according to Mark Gardiner. Today, he said producers like himself are seeing the greatest demand in history.
“Beef has differentiated itself as the protein of choice, not only in the U.S., but worldwide,” he said.
The fourth-generation producer, who runs Gardiner Angus Ranch in southwest Kansas with his family, believes that’s largely because of the quality of beef consumers get today.
But even as beef prices hit record highs in May, demand does not appear to be slowing.
The average price of a pound of ground beef hit a record $5.98 in May, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s a 16% increase from a year before, and with a short supply of cattle, experts say they don’t expect prices to fall anytime soon.
How expensive is ground beef?
The average cost of a pound of ground beef has been climbing toward $6 over the past few years. The average price was $5.98 in May, the highest ever, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Gas prices near lowest level in 4 years ahead of Fourth of July

Because you rarely complained about the left compared to Trump, even though the left is the much bigger problem.
It’s not what AOC does, it’s what the party will go along with. They always say that silence is complicity. If they refuse to condemn her, they’re clearly okay with what she’s doing. I’m suggesting that you can’t play nice with evil, you’ve got to be as brutal as you can with it. You must escalate until they are broken. You cannot play nice with people who boast that when they get power, they will put you in jail for going against their party. You can’t be nice to people who claim they’ll gut your Constitutional rights for public safety. Everything they accuse Trump of doing, they’re doing it worse. They’re claiming Trump is violating due process rights by not giving people who came here illegally in the past 2 years a trial, despite it was Bill Clinton who signed into a law that allowed people who came here illegally within the past 2 years to be expelled without any court date. Meanwhile, the democrats are saying that they can ignore the Constitution by misinterpretation. If you don’t like something in the Constitution, you go through the process in Article 5 of the Constitution to make an amendment, not misinterpret the law. All Americans have due process rights through Article 5, yet the democrats try to ignore it.
Let me ask you, if Iran explicitly states that if they get a nuclear weapon, they’ll use it to wipe America off the face of the earth, is it wrong for America to use force to prevent Iran from getting a nuke? I don’t think it is. I also don’t think it’s wrong to use force to stop people who openly boast that if they can get a small House majority, a 50-50+1 Senate, and the presidency, they’ll make a massive power grab, eliminate all checks and balances on their power, change the rules so they never lose power, and eliminate most of your rights.
I don’t think people should stick their heads in the sand, I think people like you should stop seeing things that aren’t in the sand while ignoring the army of ducks called democrats that are aiming to turn America into a managed or guided democracy. You know, one where everyone gets a ballot, but the only people who control what goes on a ballot are democrats who will never allow real change to happen.

The democrats misinterpret the Constitution so they don't have to follow it, have said they'll add states to the country so they can get more seats in the House and Senate, & have called for a massive expansion of the courts so they can misinterpret the laws and remove all checks and balances on their power.
The President must follow the constitution. When the president violates the constitution the other two branches serve as check and balances. The judges oath is to the constitution and not to the president. And since you are not a citizen or are allowed to vote in the US here is what he constitution says.

If you are here illegally, you are breaking the law and therefore you are a criminal.Comment -
I'm not here to argue how Republicans and Democrats interpret the constitution. This job according to the forefathers who wrote the laws of the land is the judiciary, the third element of the republic. So when you see judges ruling on everything that violates the constitution (examples are 5th and 14th amendment I posted earlier)they are doing their jobs. It is the government's job to comply to these rulings and then follow procedures through the court system. If the courts rule one way or the other then the law has to be obeyed so that the constitution is not violated. Let the process run through the courts before making judgement. What the republican or democrat voters think is the law has no value when the courts are to decide. Just because a judge rules one way it doesn't mean he is doing a favor to democrats or republicans.Comment -
I agree. Let ICE arrest her:
Melania became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2006. However, reports from the Associated Press suggest she may have engaged in paid modeling work in the U.S. before obtaining a valid work ****. According to documents examined by the AP, she was paid for ten modeling assignments between September 10 and October 15, 1996. She entered the U.S. on a B1/B2 visitor **** on August 27, 1996, and later secured an H-1B work **** on October 18, 1996. Her visitor **** allowed her to be in the country and seek employment but not to perform paid work.Comment -

Here’s the transcript of Trump's response to his daughter-in-law's question:
Read his answer for yourself to see just how far gone he is mentally:
Lara Trump: Some people refer to you as ‘the bodyguard of Western Civilization.’ How do you feel about that title?
“Well, I understand what they mean. It was gone bad. We were going bad. This country was going bad. Uhh lot of people were talking to China and others about getting involved because we were a dead country. We were gone in the minds of many; I tell ya, in my mind; one of the reasons I ran I saw what was happening very early on when I saw people pouring across our border, I said, “No, put up that little, it’s a little, it would’ve taken three three weeks to put up little sections of wall” that we laid out because of legal reasons we had condemnation reasons, you know, different things and because we wanted to bring our equipment back in through the wall cause we built hundreds of miles and I said, “Don’t, why aren’t they filling that in? It would have just been that would’ve been complete.” In fact I added a lot more I built a lot more than I said I was gonna build, I made it much longer. But I said “You know, they wanna have open borders.” That was the first time I realized that. I didn’t think it would be possible for anybody to want open borders, because, you know, who would want open borders?”
This was a softball question meant to tee him up to sound strong, heroic, and thoughtful.
But he totally fails to address the question!
Instead, what followed is an incoherent, rambling, often self-contradictory word-salad stream of consciousness.
And this isn't just a one-off thing ... it's repeated in almost every interview he does.
The world is laughing at the President you voted in.Comment -

Steve Bannon confronted over Jeffrey Epstein at MAGA event: ‘Trump has become the deep state!’
MAGA world remains in a state of chaos over the Trump administration’s Jeffrey Epstein memo, if the events of Friday are any indication.
While the FBI’s deputy director was taking a mental health day and considering resigning amid the continued fallout over the handling of the Epstein files, Steve Bannon got an earful from attendees at a MAGA youth event who declared that Donald Trump “has become the deep state” because he is “covering up for pedophiles.”
Nearly a week after the Department of Justice released an unsigned two-page letter concluding that Epstein committed suicide and the disgraced financier had no “client list” to blackmail prominent figures who took part in his underage sex trafficking, the administration is still facing fury from MAGA supporters who feel betrayed by the about-face.
Much of that anger has been directed at Attorney General Pam Bondi, who breathlessly hyped the release of explosive evidence in the Epstein case and even said the long-fabled “client list” was on her desk, only to release binders of already-public documents and later put out a letter claiming the list never existed.
Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, the FBI’s top two leaders who spent years as right-wing podcasters who trafficked in Epstein conspiracy theories, have also taken heat from Trump fans for backing the memo. The pair had already come under fire in recent months for reversing course on claims Epstein was murdered in his jail cell – a theory they’d long promoted – and insisting the convicted sex offender killed himself.
Amid the continued fallout over the Epstein memo, Bongino and Bondi were involved in a heated argument this week that resulted in Bongino taking the day off on Friday and threatening to quit. At the heart of the clash was Bondi’s “publicly overpromised and underdelivered disclosures” about the “client list,” and accusations that Bongino leaked a story about the FBI being held back on releasing more Epstein information.
While this was going on within the Trump administration, MAGA youth organization Turning Point USA was holding its Student Action Summit in Florida, which featured Bannon recording his War Room podcast from the lobby.
Throughout the MAGA meltdown over the Epstein fiasco, the former Trump adviser has tried to thread a very fine needle due to his own personal connections with Epstein, which has featured former “first buddy” Elon Musk – who has long feuded with Bannon – claiming “Bannon is in the Epstein files.” The world’s richest man, who has called the Epstein memo the “final straw” regarding his support for Trump, did not elaborate on how he knew this was the case.
Bannon has since reacted by calling for a special prosecutor to review “all” Epstein documents while urging Bondi to step aside. At the same time, much like the majority of MAGA media, he has largely steered clear of directly laying the blame at Trump’s feet. That was put to the test, however, on Friday morning.
A group of self-described “young right-wing men” who were attending SAS had gathered near the broadcast and were approached by War Room reporter Jayne Zirkle to chat with Bannon, only for them to complain that they were being “lied to” by the administration.
“Yeah, we’re getting lied to. The pedophiles aren’t getting rounded up. The people aren’t getting deported. We’re not getting what we asked for,” one attendee, who said his name was Julian, exclaimed.

I understand how the process is supposed to work, the problem is that the left has decided that they can get around the rights of the people through misinterpretation. The job of the court is to rule based on how the law was written, not be able to amend the Constitution by themselves! Doing that denies the people their due process rights, which the democrats don’t care about as long as they get what they want.

hey Karen no matter what Trump does you will always criticize him just as the other lunatic Left do. He shows up, he's insensitive. He doesn't show up, he doesn't care.
There's no need to be unhappy!

Can you not see what a cultist cry baby you sound like always crying that any criticism is only from desperate anti trumpers??
YOU are the bloody Karen. Read the post you replied to and your post and try and argue that YOU arent the Karen in that particular conversation with a straight face!
Some criticism is warranted and useful... and you Karens desperately trying to shut down any speech you don't like about POTUS is self harming behavior. Bloody idiots..Comment -
Speaking of the Karens in this room.
I offer more evidence...
oh boo hoo. Those super clever lefties are not only able to direct the judiciary, they can make judges go against the constitution, and righties are just too honorable/stupid/ineffective to be able to do the same thing as those clever lefties.
Can you hear yourself?? Pathetic dont you think?

And another exhibit...
Actually it is VERY democratic to tolerate protesters. Dont you agree??This is very ''DEMOCRATIC'' of them:

Or do you just feign respect for democracy and freedom whilst really wanting a authoritarian state where lefties/trannies/women/coloured/immigrants do not have the same rights as you?? lol at the thought you could even start to be intellectually honest in your reply... so just don't bother. You are too far gone Slew. Go play with JT and leave the politics to the non brain dead eh?.Comment -
who's crying now Karen? You are!
You always are and you think you are clever by accusing others of exactly what you are doing! You aren't fooling anyone. Opti, you can pretend you are invisible also, but people can see you. Go ahead, take off your clothes, pretend you are invisible and walk outside. You will get the same response as your previous post.
The Right isn't trying to shut down free speech as you foolishly stated. That is the Left's thing. The Left are all for free speech but ONLY if you agree with them. They will try and cancel you. They shut off the president's Twitter because he told people to peacefully march. If you disagreed with the vaccine or stated it came from China, you were banned. You couldn't even share the NY Post story about the laptop exposing the Biden crime family.
You are making shit up again. The Right doesn't need to shut down the Left's freedom of speech because they can always beat them with facts and logic. Just like I am doing now.
The radical Left: whatever they are accusing you of doing, they are doing themselves.
