The couple behind him look like psychopathic dog killers.
Good chance they are…..but, I wouldn’t limit it to dogs.

Polk County mothers fight to protect their Haitian loved ones from deportation
The women plan to take legal action.

“I ran to him as he came through the doors of the airport that day. It wound up being Mother’s Day on the 12th, and so it was wonderful that day,” she said.
Chappelear’s friend, Stacey Angulo, shared a similar reaction when she and her husband, Alex, adopted their 15-year-old son, Marven, in 2013. The couple was then able to help bring Marven’s biological sister, Maill-Eva, 20, and his mother to the U.S.
The two were granted humanitarian parole and received Temporary Protected Status (TSP).
...
However, both women say their loved ones' well-being is now at risk after learning that their Temporary Protected Status has been canceled. According to a letter they received in the mail, they have until April 24 to return to Haiti.
...
Chappelear and Angulo say the decision completely goes against why they voted for President Trump in the 2024 election.

Well, why did they vote for Trump? What did they believe he was going to do considering the constant talk of deporting every non citizen?Chappelear says she and her husband, John, were living in Haiti for missionary work at the time. After raising Cabilah, 28, for three years as their own, he was later able to join them in Lakeland last May under Biden’s humanitarian parole program.

Ah yes, if only there were some warning beforehand that Trump was going to do something unexpected and without proper research, expertise, or advice

I just looked up the activity of three of the most consistent and gleeful don ciphers. Two haven’t posted since mid March, and one hasn’t made a political post for two weeks. I guess all the big deals and family time coincidentally landed at once.

All snark aside, I do wish Calla and HY would come back and share their perspective and opinions about Trump's first 75 days days in office.

I have a hunch that all of these people were in the "burn it all down, just don't let it affect me or my family" school of thought.

Step 1) Run a business
Step 2) Complain about government ______ (taxes, regulations, overreach, etc)
Step 3) Vote for Trump to get rid of ______
Step 4) Lose business because you didn’t realize how important the government was in supporting your own business or maintaining stability.

Same applies to most red states. Reduce federal investment, grants, etc. and they are little more than rubble. I live in one of the fastest growing areas and its all dependent on fed money.

American Soybean Association takes aim at U.S. health secretary Kennedy | The Western Producer
America’s soybean industry has fired a loud warning shot at seed oil skeptics.
www.producer.com
On Tuesday, the American Soybean Association said that a ban on seed oils in the U.S. food supply would inflict billions in economic damage to farmers and force American consumers to spend an additional USD$7.7 billion annually on replacement products like palm oil, olive oil and animal fat.
The data comes from a study commissioned by the United Soybean Board, which hired the World Agricultural Economic and Environmental Services, a consultancy, to evaluate the impacts of a U.S. ban on seed oils like soybean, canola, corn, sunflower and cottonseed oil.
The ban would force the U.S. to import large volumes of palm and olive oil, thus driving up the price of palm oil, the study found.
“Since significant quantities of olive and palm oil are not produced domestically, the US becomes more reliant on imports of vegetable oils,” the report says.
“Under the flat veg oil consumption scenario, the shift in US food consumption to palm oil results in higher palm oil prices with palm selling at a 78 per cent average premium to soybean oil prices over the 2025/26-2035/36 period.”
Plus, Americans consume about 58 lbs of soybean, canola and corn oil annually, per capita. Replacing that with other oils and fats would be complicated and costly, the report noted.

FEMA slashes $300 million in flooding, hurricane relief projects in Florida
The cancellation of the program comes as the Trump administration says it may scrap FEMA altogether.
Nearly $300 million in federal aid meant to help protect Florida communities from flooding, hurricanes and other natural disasters has been frozen since President Donald Trump took office in January.
Now the state will never get the money, leaving dozens of projects in limbo, from a plan to raise roads in St. Augustine to a $150 million effort to strengthen canals in South Florida.
Calling it a “wasteful, politicized grant program,” Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Cameron Hamilton last week ended the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities, or BRIC, program.
BRIC is only a portion — but a significant one — of all FEMA funds received by Florida. The cancellation of the program comes as the Trump administration says it may scrap FEMA altogether and give funds directly to the states to deal with disaster response as they see fit.
Hamilton canceled all BRIC grants from 2020 to 2023, so any approved but not-yet-used money cannot be spent and must be returned to the federal government.
Florida will lose $293 million of the $312 million Congress okayed for hurricane relief and flood mitigation efforts. It had so far spent only $19 million, or 6%, of its BRIC grants.
The head of this trade group was interviewed on NPR this morning. He said these tariffs will be devastating to these farmers and force many out of business if not listed. He said he voted for Trump 3 times. When asked if he still supports Trump he said yes and that he believes Trump has Americas best interest at heart, but wanted the Tariffs to end.American Soybean Association takes aim at U.S. health secretary Kennedy | The Western Producer

These MAGAts are part of a cult and will definitely drink the cool aide.
