Soaring egg prices are piquing interest
in backyard chickens
Posted By: Imright, 2/4/2025 9:33:43 PM
NEW YORK— Thinking about backyard chickens as egg prices soar? Think hard, especially in light of the bird flu outbreak. Keeping home chickens as a pastime has continued to grow since the pandemic. But if eggs are the goal, remember that it takes planning and investment to raise the chickens and protect against bird flu. Costs might go well beyond the nationwide average of $4.15 a dozen that commercial eggs sold for in December. “Anyone who’s done an ounce of research will very quickly understand that there are no free eggs, there are no inexpensive eggs in keeping chickens,” said Kathy Shea Mormino, a home chicken blogger and author who

Allowed to Travel Through Panama Canal
Without Fees 1 reply
The Department of State announced on Wednesday that United States government vessels would be allow to travel through the Panama Canal without facing “charge fees.”
In a post on X, the Department of State highlighted how, since U.S. government ships would no longer face fees, this would save the U.S. “millions of dollars a year.” “U.S. government vessels can now transit the Panama Canal without charge fees, saving the U.S. government millions of dollars a year,” the Department of State wrote.
The announcement from the Department of State comes as President Donald Trump has remained adamant about the U.S. retaking control of the Panama Canal. In December, Trump threatened to retake
I’m just going to get this off my chest: I’m not tired of winning. The second Trump presidency has filled the DC political elite with dread and terror as the Department of Government Efficiency, helmed by Elon Musk, is tearing through the capital, exposing the waste and fraud that’s entranced this city for generations.
This initiative uncovered a total media scandal: the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) subsidized Politico, NPR, Reuters, and The New York Times – funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to the outlets. The government is quite a sugar daddy, and we’re proud not to have one.
Democrats are quick to label President Trump and other Republicans as “threats to democracy,” but their latest proposal in New York poses a far more concrete threat to the democratic process.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, prodded behind the scenes by House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, is weighing a measure that would extend the timeline for special elections — just days before New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik vacates her seat to become ambassador to the United Nations.
The idea is to give a Democrat a better shot at replacing her while stymieing House Republicans — and it’s wrong.
A century-old law directs the governor of New York to call a special election
CNN’s Brian Stelter portrays himself as a media analyst, but more often than not, what he actually does is media defense.
Stelter sees almost everything through the lens of media vs. Trump, and in the case of the shocking new reports about the liberal outlet Politico receiving millions in tax dollars, he had a completely predictable take.
In Stelter’s view, the media is the victim here, because of course.
This clip of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt talking about Politico got a lot of notice today.
Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations have publicly rejected President Trump’s plan to evacuate war-torn Gaza’s 2.3 million residents so the US can “take over” and redevelop the land.
But, they may come to support it in secret because it would finally solve decades of conflict and end Hamas’ iron grip, a former Israel-Palestine negotiator says.
Avi Melamed, an ex Israeli intelligence official who served as a senior Arab affairs adviser to Jerusalem, said Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan are likely interested in Trump’s future vision for Gaza as a possible solution to their Hamas problem.
“I wouldn’t be surprised to know that in the back rooms, the Saudis, the Egyptians, the Jordanians,
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that the Army had its best recruitment month in 15 years in January 2025 under President Donald Trump.
“BREAKING: In December 2024, the @US Army had its best recruiting number in 12 years. In January 2025, the Army hit its best recruiting number in 15 YEARS,” he said in a post on X, adding: BOTTOM LINE: America’s youth want to serve under the bold & strong “America First” leadership of @realDonaldTrump ....According to Military.com, the Army hit a major recruiting milestone in January — reaching the halfway mark towards an ambitious goal of bringing in 61,000 active-duty soldiers in fiscal year 2025,
Wednesday marks the 39th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day (NGWSD).
President Donald Trump commemorated this day by signing an executive order banning so-called “transgenders” from women’s sports.
Going forward, any school that allows men to compete against women or use their locker rooms will lose federal funding under Title IX.
For anyone who thinks this is rare, it is not. Townhall covered how a shocking United Nations report titled "Violence against women and girls in sports" showed that female athletes have lost nearly 900 medals to so-called "transgender" athletes.
The order, titled "No Men in Women's Sports," mandates that Title IX be interpreted as prohibiting
Kamala Harris gave an 179-word meandering answer on Israel that “60 Minutes” cut to just 20 words, according to transcripts released Wednesday by the Federal Communications Commission.
The FCC says its investigating CBS for possible election interference, after complaints that the venerated news program cut Harris’ word-salad answers to make her look more coherent. Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the network.
Trump-appointed FCC chair Brendan Carr got the full transcript and video on Monday after a tug-of-war with the Tiffany Network, which has defended the editing as a standard practice for “time, space or clarity.”
But a CBS source told The Post on Wednesday that the “60 Minutes” edit
Elon Musk Should Take on Social Security

If I say that Elon Musk is the smartest, boldest, most creative entrepreneur in the world, I don't think I will get pushback.
President Donald Trump's move to bring him to Washington and put him at the top of a new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, to do the seemingly impossible -- to streamline a vastly outsized government spending behemoth -- injects hope that yes, maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.Musk, the world's richest man, is not beholden to anyone, and so there is little danger of him getting bogged down and imprisoned in the Washington culture of politics and quid pro quo.
When you as a liberal Democrat have lost CNN’s Abby Phillip and your protest gets LITERALLY laughed at live on CNN air, it may be a sign that your ability to influence coverage of the day’s events is waning. This was the reaction garnered by Congressional Democrats’ protest outside the headquarters of the dying United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
WATCH Phillip describe the protest as “a piñata in search of a stick”, which was met with an outburst of laughter by the guests at the table (click “expand” to view transcript):
Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei said in an interview published Tuesday that the liberal media has reached a low point in popularity and influence over the American public.
"There's a market for ideological," VandeHei said in an interview with Mediaite. "The left right now, liberal media, has probably never been weaker in my lifetime than right now."
CNN and NBC News, among other liberal news outlets, have reported layoffs of staff this year amid concerns over lower ratings and a changing media landscape, as podcasters continue to grow their audiences.
The hammer of justice is coming to those who persecuted President Trump to stop him from running for President.
CNN reported Wednesday afternoon that Attorney General Pam Bondi will be ordering an investigation of the BS cases brought against President Donald Trump, including those undertaken by prosecutors in New York.
This means Marxist Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg will be in hot water. Recall in his case against Trump, the jury did not need to reach a unanimous decision on the specific “unlawful means” that Trump was accused of in the case. They just have to sense that he is guilty.

What the hell did I watch? If anything, the anti-Elon Musk rally last night proved two things: Trump derangement syndrome has been replaced by Elon Musk derangement syndrome. Second, the Democratic Party has no idea how to win elections. The reports of a rudderless, leaderless, and divided organization were confirmed last night. It also showed that they have no message other than ‘me no like this Trump administration,’ of which Elon Musk is a top agent of the president. His Department of Government Efficiency is wiping the table clean, exposing waste and fraud, and getting these lazy DC government workers to quit.

Some of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama's largest donors have abandoned them amid rumors that the couple's marriage is on the rocks.
The 44th president of the United States is in the process of building his Obama Presidential Center on the south side of Chicago, but at least some of the donors the couple has turned to over the past few years are now backing down, according to the Daily Beast.
Among them is Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who bailed the Obamas out in 2022 with $100million each, boosting the year's total to more than $311million.
Unhinged Democrat lawmakers protested Elon Musk’s DOGE team in front of the Treasury Department on Tuesday evening.
Democrat Reps. Ayanna Pressley and LaMonica McIver called for violence during the “Nobody Elected Elon” protest outside the Treasury Department.
“We will not take this!” Rep. LaMonica McIver shouted before attacking Elon Musk. “We will fight back! And goddammit shut down the Senate! We are at war!”

Andrea Mitchell will step down as full-time anchor on MSNBC on Friday — ending a 17-year stint as host of “Andrea Mitchell Reports” on the Comcast-owned cable news outfit. Mitchell announced last fall that she would step down from her daily MSNBC show after the presidential inauguration but will continue her work as a correspondent for NBC News. The veteran journalist will remain NBC News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent and chief Washington correspondent.
Congressional Democrats signal government

Congressional Democrats have begun scheming to use an upcoming government battle to force concessions from President Donald Trump.
Though the next spending deadline is in mid-March, Congress has yet to agree on anything, let alone a deal to avert a crisis.
“Democrats say they have little appetite to help Republicans, given Trump’s latest moves, and intend to use their leverage in the spending fight,” according to The Hill.
Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, warned reporters earlier this week that “the level of trust is at the lowest I have ever seen it here in Congress,
As we reported earlier, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) made it clear the left was going to be ramping up their protests in the streets against President Donald Trump. Their claims are truly unhinged — because special government employees, Elon Musk and his DOGE team, are operating as part of the Executive Office of the President to review government expenditures.
Yet Democrats have been leveling all kinds of crazy accusations against Trump and Musk, especially since Musk has been looking into the hornet's nest that is USAID. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) even accused Musk of "raiding the government, attempting to steal taxpayer money" from the Treasury Department.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suffered another health scare Wednesday when he reportedly fell down the stairs in the Senate following a vote for HUD Secretary. Little information has come out so far: (X) This is far from the first time the 82-year-old former majority leader has had a health scare. He also fell in December 2024 and had several strange “freezing” episodes in the last few years as well. In August 2023, he blanked out while speaking to the press. As RedState’s Bonchie wrote at the time:

It did not take long for Democrats to begin the process of overturning the results of President Trump’s historic election victory.
Radical left Rep. Al Green (D-TX) on Wednesday morning went on an insane rampage against Trump’s provocative comments during a press conference Tuesday night with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Israel. As Jim Hoft reported, Trump floated the idea of the US taking over the Gaza Strip and redeveloping it.
Doing so could force Gaza residents, who almost uniformly hate Jews and the West, to leave and bring more peace to Israel.
Americans have been largely pleased with President Donald Trump’s deluge of executive orders. But not all of them. Public support is weak for his order to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization and the Paris climate treaty. This is curious. One is clearly a political organization, the other a useless and wasteful effort. The failure by a significant swath of our countrymen to recognize this is worrisome.
This is actually the second time Trump pulled the U.S. from the WHO. The first departure was in 2020. It pleased us then that no longer would this country “take part
ST. PAUL, Minn. — A protest against President Trump's actions is underway on Wednesday afternoon in St. Paul. Demonstrators are marching from St. Paul Technical College near Downtown to the State Capitol. The protest is in solidarity with the 50501 Movement, a nationwide protest against the president's policies and executive orders. The "50501" stands for, "50 States, 50 Protests, One Day." The protesters are advocating for a variety of causes, including immigrant rights, government accountability, and opposition to Project 2025, the conservative movement that aims to reshape the federal government. The demonstration is scheduled to go on until 3 p.m.

President Donald Trump is flooding the zone with swift action that is overwhelming the establishment media, which appears unable, ill-equipped, or too lazy to report the flurry of activity.
Opinionists at major news outlets have begun whining about their newsrooms’ inability to keep up with the increased flow of Trump’s executive orders, newsworthy comments, and changes within federal agencies.Just in the past few days, Trump has fired DOJ officials, planned to close the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), deported hundreds of illegal aliens, placed tariffs on Canada and Mexico and then paused them, and signed the Laken Riley Act into law.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says she plans to introduce legislation to abolish the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and to finally give the United States a national language.
The United States has long been considered a multilingual country, causing mass confusion in some areas that are flooded with Hispanic immigrants. Making English, the most widely spoken language in the world, the official language of the United States is a common sense initiative.
Greene’s move to abolish USAID comes amid already-known but now-proven discoveries that the agency is a slush fund for globalist interventionism and woke radical left programs. It’s also the worst offender of violating Presidential Executive Orders
