The Fisher family farm, a source of healthy food for local consumers in Virginia, was raided by the Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (VDACS). Samuel B. Fisher, who runs Golden Valley Farms, lost his livestock and meat-processing facility as the state condemned and seized his property. The act has resulted in not just loss of income but also a crisis of trust in a community that prides itself on independence and sustainable farming. Golden Valley Farms has been serving around 500 consumers through its farm’s membership program. From their website: We are a family farm located in Farmville, Virginia in Cumberland County.

I read about this last week. This is in Virginia, with a Republican governor. Communism is here and taking root.

On multiple fronts, the criminals who now control our government strive to create flashpoints. Flashpoints where civil disobedience becomes violent as beleaguered citizens are pushed past the limits of human patience and normal fear. In the hubristic confidence that such explosions as they may instigate can be contained and used to further strip us of rights and freedom, they will go to any lengths. Truly, we have become a third world hothouse of tribal strife. Fed and fanned by those who understand all too well the "divide and conquer" method. And a happy ending is probably many, many, bloody chapters away.

This is horse hockey. I used to take my chickens to the local Amish to butcher for me. I used to buy whole milk from them as well. We no longer live near any Amish or I would still be using their services.

The good news is the FBI wasn't involved. One can rest assured had the FBI been involved a predawn military assault would have been carried out with at least one adult dead and one child injured.

Freedom is NOT PERMITTED. Control is MANDATORY. You cannot choose to do things that the government doesn't approve of. Soon, ALL things not prohibited will be MANDATORY. Zero free choice. Mostly we have an illusion of free choice today. You cannot buy ANY products which do not comply with government requirements. You are NOT free to choose your own products, whether food, cars, houses, anything.

I am really having trouble thinking of any authority I have respect for. Truthfully, I never was too impressed by military rank or corporate titles or civil service titles, but its worse now. I've found there are very few people who are truly honorable anymore. They will obey orders no matter how wrong or evil the order is.

This is something of which I am pretty well versed. If meat is to be sold via retail cuts to the public, it must be processed in a USDA inspected facility. IF however you BUY a whole, half, or quarter animal (you are buying a percentage of the animal itself) or you are having your own animals turned into retail cuts at a processor, the meat can be processed at a State inspected facility. USDA inspecting costs approx 20 cents more per pound hanging weight which adds up on an 600-900lb carcass. Now IF you buy a whole live animal on farm property and that property happens to have processing facilities, you YOURSELF can dispatch and butcher your own animal right there or take it home and do so... it is yours after all. Muslims and some ethnic groups do this especially with lamb, goats, and even poultry. The big exception to all this government inspection is chicken and rabbits. A small farm can process themselves up to 1000 birds a year and sell them directly to the public without USDA or state interference. I am not sure of any limitations on rabbits as I have no experience with them. I won't go into milk but let's just say we have done "cow sharing" and it is a perfectly legal way to get unpasteurized milk as the milk is going to the owners of the cow. You buy a percentage of a live cow so a percentage of her milk is yours. If one sells retail cuts to the public say at a farmer's market, one also is subject to inspections of your storage facilities, that is your freezers and your food transport equipment and you must comply with their cleanliness, packaging, and temperature regulation rules. I personally don't mind inspections but I have always failed to see why the USDA needed to get involved if the States themselves were completely capable (which they are) of inspecting and assuring quality control and humane treatment of animals. This is yet another states rights issue. The USDA inspected facilities weekly E Coli outbreaks are proof enough to me that they offer no extra added value for their upcharged services. In the end, follow the money. State inspection is adequate and States can administrate effectively the farming activities of their own citizens. USDA inspection in the present day is just another TAX on your food. All this said, the Amish farmer did break the rules if he sold retail cuts directly from his farm with no inspection of his processing facilities, the animals and their care during slaughter, or the meat itself. I don't like the way the rules are presently written but he broke them. Small producers should all know the rules if they plan to sell to the public. Breaking the rules gives him a very fiscally unfair advantage over other small producers in the area who follow the safety rules to the the letter and end up paying the upcharges for inspection.

#10, thank you for your insights on many levels. I suppose the federal food inspectors justify their muscling in where State inspectors are adequate based on the possibility that the processed meats might occasionally enter into interstate commerce. They find ways to financially justify their existence and bloated bureaucracies.

Univision’s Ilia Calderón, who will co-moderate the second Republican presidential debate, is a staunch critic of former President Donald Trump, having accused him of empowering white supremacists and “racist” rhetoric in the past.

Calderón, who co-moderated the last Democrat presidential debate in 2020 between Sen.

Washington—The Biden administration is proposing a rule that would require thousands more firearms dealers to run background checks, in an effort to combat rising gun violence nationwide. The proposal comes after a mandate from President Joe Biden to find ways to strengthen background checks following the passage of bipartisan legislation on guns last year. People who sell firearms online or at gun shows would be required to be licensed and run background checks on the buyers before the sales under the rule proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Almost half the country thinks Joe Biden is corrupt, according to a new YouGov poll. While most Democrats are being ostriches, even 52% of independents don’t believe the “Honest Joe” malarkey about the “poorest man in Congress” anymore. Among Americans who voted for Biden in the 2020 election, a full 13% have been red-pilled. They have eyes, and common sense, and somehow the avalanche of incriminating evidence spewing forth from the House Oversight Committee has managed to bypass the gatekeepers of the media and slowly permeate the public consciousness.

A majority of priests of the Church of England want the church to offer same-sex weddings and allow premarital and gay sex, according to a major survey. The survey, conducted by the Times, found most Anglican priests think church teaching should be brought into line with public opinion on moral issues. Most priests support a change to allow gay couples to get married in church, with 53.4 percent in favor and 36.5 percent opposed, revealed the survey, which assessed responses from 1,200 active Anglican priests. The Church of England currently allows blessings for gay couples but only permits church weddings between a man and a woman.
