Amish Farmer Threatened for Not Giving Up Traditional Farming

 The Epoch Times.com

"Rebel News calls this recent court-ordered armed threat “an attack on Amish religious freedom just 150 miles from Washington, D.C.”


"Armed federal agents were used to threaten a traditional Amish farmer just 150 miles outside Washington, D.C., who does not use pesticides, fertilizer, or gas to run his farm.

  • Amos Miller, an Amish farmer and owner of Miller’s Organic Farm just 150 miles from Washington, D.C., has been under the USDA’s microscope since at least 2015.
  • It was the National Organic Program from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that first launched an investigation in 2015, seeking all the food club’s purchase records and a list of members who pay a premium to get food from an independent farmer who doesn’t process meat and dairy at a USDA facility.
  • Miller has helped organize private food clubs where individuals can purchase produce, dairy, and meat from traditional farmers; the Department of Justice (DOJ) seems intent on stamping them out.
  • While Miller produces and sells organic meat, dairy, and eggs, “experts” are pushing fake junk food for billions in profits, including the current “sustainable, plant-based” consumables that resemble convenience store food more than whole food.
  •  Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) meat, dairy, and eggs are also not the answer to a healthy society and environment. There is a better solution and Amos Miller is using it—regenerative farming has a lower carbon footprint than either CAFOs or plant-based products, protects human health, and improves the environment.

"Historically, experts believe that food cultivation has been widely established for roughly 7,000 years.[1] While many of today’s farmers have embraced the agribusiness evolution that took over U.S. farmland, there are some, like Amos Miller and his 4,000 customers, who believe the old ways are still the best ways. Unfortunately, as reported in this short video from Rebel News,[2] the U.S. government does not agree.". . .

Honor the rank, not the man. Will Latest Revelations Of Corruption Get Biden Impeached?

To think; back when in the Marines I and my unit would have had to draw up in ranks and present arms to honor this man. It wouldn't help to say "We honor the rank, not the man". TD

Biden is the most amoral President in US history - American Thinker

Biden will go down in history as the most corrupt, the most nationally and globally disastrous and the dumbest President in American history.  If we are to prevail as a constitutional republic, the American people better wake-up and fight for everything they cherish – family, freedom and basic human and civil rights – or it will be gone in the blink of an eye.  It began with Obama and that crowd is determined to carry out their plan to transform America.  They’ve been remarkably successful to the detriment of us all. 

Bravery, Then and Now - American Thinker   . . ."Why aren’t Republicans demanding that their representative draw up articles of impeachment against Joe Biden?  The man has obviously committed not only an impeachable offense, but a treasonous one, if it can be demonstrated that he was “the big guy” getting 10% of profits from his son’s energy deal with the Chinese Communist Party.  But even if he wasn’t “the big guy,” the man sold oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to the Chinse Government, which is and should be an impeachable offense.  No, it does not require one to be decorated with medals and have legendary war stories to tell in today’s woke world in order to be brave and make a change, in today’s world it just requires having a spine not made of Jell-O.  Having this basic qualification is necessary to protect and preserve the liberties, way of life, and government that the men of Easy Company, the band of brothers, fought, bled, and died for."

"American voters are a thick-skinned lot, and know pretty much that many politicians are scoundrels. But Biden is a different breed.

"His family has, for years, received mysterious piles of money — we’re talking millions of dollars here — from questionable overseas sources, including Chinese Communist-linked executives, Russians with ties to Vladimir Putin and huge sums from Ukraine and its giant Burisma energy company.

"The latest revelation is just stunning.". . .

What were they thinking at Bud Light?

UPDATE: Anheuser-Busch CEO Issues Statement After Dylan Mulvaney Beer Can Scandal (breitbart.com)

 What were they thinking at Bud Light? - American Thinker   . . ."If Bud Light decides to align its branding with the LGBT crowd, so be it.  I don't drink the stuff anyway, but if others decide to abandon it in favor of a label more aligned with themselves, that is, or should be, their choice.  But will it be?  Or is the left going to use this as leverage to divide us further by shaming all those who don't embrace the LGBT-endorsed products?. . ."

The Only Way Out Is Through - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

"A decade ago, around the time liberals were boycotting Chick-fil-A en masse due to the devout Christian beliefs and strongly held views on marriage of the company’s founder and managers, many on the Right refused to countenance reciprocating with such “nasty” tactics, preferring instead to seize an illusory moral high ground. But concerted economic boycotts, it turns out, work: They are effectual punishments of one’s cultural enemies using the undoubtedly legitimate means of market pressure. The Right, it turns out, can mass-organize just like the Left can. Perhaps Anheuser-Busch will see the folly of its ham-fisted attempt to foist the transgender agenda down the throats of its disapproving — “fratty,” to use the Bud Light vice president of marketing’s now-infamous description — customer base. Or perhaps it won’t. Regardless, the dramatic and successful pushback, which continues almost two weeks later, underscores that the only way out is through.

"Consider also the recent drama in Tennessee, where the Republican-dominated state House of Representatives recently voted to expel two Democrats for their role in fomenting what the hyperpartisan corporate press, if the parties were reversed, would not hesitate to describe as an “insurrection.” Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson are both clearly seen on video ginning up a frothing pro-gun control mob that descended upon the legislative chamber to demand more Second Amendment restrictions after a transgender lunatic decided to shoot up a local Christian school. In the video, Jones and Pearson can be clearly seen shouting into a bullhorn, flying protest signs, and leading vapid chants for protesters in the gallery — all of which flouts Tennessee House rules.". . .

Riley Gaines rips Nike for partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney: ‘They can forget taking my money’ - Bistosh World  . . ." Gaines appeared on OutKick’s “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” and joked that she has not been given an offer from Nike.

“And I don’t anticipate that happening. I don’t know if they can understand the mockery [Mulvaney’s deal] makes of women, especially the video of Dylan — I guess portraying what he thinks women look like when we work out — doing jumping jacks . . ."

"Hunter The Handler"

 Biden takes questions from kids in Ireland - and Hunter steps in to give instructions | Daily Mail Online  Now we know why Joe and Hunter seem joined at the hip. (As is Hunter with many working girls.) TD

'Any of you guys want to ask me any questions?' Biden asked the children.
 He then got distracted by a youngster holding a toy model of Air Force One. 
Then he turned his attention back to the crowd.
'In the back. He's got a question,' Hunter told his father. 
 The kid then asked the president to describe the 'top step' to success.
 Biden went into a long-winded answer about Senator Helms 'who was "not very crazy about African Americans.
" 'Oh, what's the key to success? 
You know what I found out is the key to success? 
And I'm not sure I'm the best guy to explain it; these guys can tell you,' he says. 
'The key to success is whenever you disagree with someone, it's okay to question their judgment — whether they're right or wrong — but it's never okay to question their motive. 
If you question their motive, then you never get to be able to agree. 
'For example, if you say to somebody, "The reason why you don't agree with me is because you are stupid, you are bad, you are — you just don't like the people I like."

You mean the people you spoke of here, Joe?

Vatican Apologizes to the ‘Infidel Enemies of the Christian Name’ –

 "That 'dialogue' only resumed, after al-Tayeb broke it off during the papacy of Pope Benedict XVI, when Francis agreed not to criticize Islam or speak out against Muslim persecution of Christians. Al-Tayeb, meanwhile, made no similar concessions. The 'dialogue' is entirely one-sided," Spencer noted.    Christians Slam Pope Francis' "Abomination of Desolation"

 Raymond Ibrahim; PJ Media . . .While the above sounds open-minded and “progressive,” the all-important context is, as usual, missing. The above-referenced bulls, or edicts, were primarily focused on neutralizing Muslim powers that were otherwise terrorizing virtually every corner of Christendom.

"For example, Dum Diversas was issued the same year (1452) that Sultan Muhammad II laid siege to Constantinople, leading to that ancient Christian city’s brutal fall in 1453.  At the same time, Muslims from North Africa were terrorizing Spain and the broader Mediterranean through constant and devastating slave raids. Whether in Christendom’s furthest east (Constantinople), then, or furthest west (Spain), Muslims were massacring and enslaving countless Christians.

"As such, these bulls, like so many before them, were designed to inspire Europeans to rise up and defend Christendom against Muslims — to “restrain the savage excesses of the Saracens and of other infidels, enemies of the Christian name,” to quote from the Romanus Pontifex.

"Because some of these bulls deal with Christians invading and seeking to conquer North Africa, modern-day “enemies of the Christian name” have sought to spin these as unprovoked wars of conquest and colonization.  For example, the Romanus Pontifex authorized King Alfonso V of Portugal (1432–1481) to “invade [North Africa], conquer, defeat and subjugate all Saracens and pagans and other enemies of Christ,” and to “enslave their persons perpetually” and seize their possessions for profit.". . .

Again, such ruthless language must not be read in a vacuum.  The atrocities Muslims were committing against nearby Christians, especially against the subjects of Spain and Portugal, make Islamic State (“ISIS”) atrocities seem like child’s play. It was all-out war to the death.

Moreover, while expeditions into North Africa were very similar to the Crusades, in that they featured Christians traveling to and seeking to conquer Muslim lands, often left out is that all of these “Muslim lands” — all of North Africa and the Middle East — were Christian first, centuries before Islam invaded and conquered them in the seventh century.
