Pennsylvania farmer targeted by feds faces fines and jail time

Local media, The Lancaster Patriot, reports that the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture served an all-natural Amish farm in southeastern Pennsylvania with a search warrant on Thursday afternoon. 

The farmer, Amos Miller, has been in the crosshairs with the US Department of Agriculture because of his repeated failures to comply with federal farming regulations. 

The USDA has tried to bring Miller’s farm into compliance with federal regulations, but Amos has yet to cooperate with the Feds and faces fines and jail time. 

A Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson said:

 “The PA Department of Agriculture is conducting a search warrant on this property. Troopers from PSP Lancaster are just assisting with scene security. You will have to reach out to the DOA for information on their investigation.”

According to LancasterOnline, Miller and the Feds have been locked “in a standoff over his compliance with federal food safety rules and failure to pay assessed fines.” 

With his sovereign citizen defense, Miller has tried to thwart the Fed’s overreach to get him to comply with food safety rules. He sells all sorts of food to more than 4,000 buyers, such as organic eggs, raw milk, grass-fed beef and cheese, and fresh produce. He doesn’t use electricity, chemical fertilizers, vaccines, or petroleum products in farming. 

Commenting on the raid, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said, “Looks like Amos Miller’s farm is being raided. With all of the problems in society today, this is what the government wants to focus on?” 

Massie continued, “A man growing food for informed customers, without participating in the industrial meat/milk complex? It’s shameful that it’s come to this.”

Ramaswamy believes the alliance’s “expansionism” risks sparking a major conflict with Russia, his spokeswoman says

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has signaled that he intends to pull the US out of NATO if he wins the 2024 election, Politico reported on Friday, citing sources.

According to three people familiar with Ramaswamy’s thinking, he made the remarks privately while speaking to supporters. Publicly, the American entrepreneur of Indian descent has described Washington’s potential withdrawal from the military alliance – in which it plays the leading role – as a “reasonable idea.”

Tricia Mclaughlin, the spokeswoman for Ramaswamy’s campaign, neither confirmed nor denied the reported plans. However, she told Politico that her boss had “serious concerns that most NATO allies fail to meet their military investment commitments.” 

According to Mclaughlin, the presidential candidate “also believes that post Cold War NATO expansionism has unnecessarily increased the risk of major conflict with Russia.”

Ramaswamy does not enjoy a high level of support even among members of his own party, trailing behind other GOP presidential candidates – notably Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former US President Donald Trump, who is widely considered to be the frontrunner. However, Politico suggested that Ramaswamy could potentially join an administration led by Trump, who has positioned himself as a NATO skeptic, if he returns to the White House.

Numerous media reports suggested that Trump threatened to pull his country out of the US-led military bloc during his first term in 2018 while urging Washington’s allies to ramp up their defense spending. The GOP frontrunner’s current campaign platform is more vague on the matter, stating: “we have to finish the process… of fundamentally re-evaluating NATO’s purpose and NATO’s mission.”

Amid reported concerns in Europe that Trump might try to abandon Washington’s NATO commitments, US President Joe Biden last month signed an $886 billion bill funding the Pentagon which, among other things, would require congressional approval for the US president to leave the alliance.

Questions about NATO’s fate have intensified with the alliance locked in a standoff with Russia over the Ukraine conflict, with members providing massive military assistance to Kiev, a campaign repeatedly denounced in Moscow. Russia has for decades viewed the alliance’s expansion toward its borders as an existential threat, with Russian President Vladimir Putin saying that Ukraine’s desire to join the bloc was one of the key triggers of the current conflict.

Michigan’s first population increase in five years fueled by immigration

Michigan’s first population increase in five years – fueled by immigration – has the Great Lakes State’s collectivist central planners gushing … as in, you’d think Michigan was playing in a national championship college football game level of enthusiasm.

The numbers, as deconstructed by Bridge MI: “Michigan’s population as of July 1, 2023 is estimated at 10,037,261 up from 3.980 from the year before but still down 40,431 from 2020.”

The part that gets the open-borders crowd swooning: “Michigan gained nearly 4,000 residents in 2023,” as the pandemic waned and immigration increased.

 So, ladies and gentlemen, the Midwest Great Replacement has officially begun!

And it’s been launched with zero discussion about why 167,000 Michigan residents fled the state in 2022 for Texas and Florida and Indiana – likely wanting more bang for their taxpayer dollars or more distance from the harpies of Lansing who champion hairstyle rights, or perhaps looking for governors that don’t partner with the Chinese Communists to make EV battery parts that require slave labor.

There’s also zero public discussion about the complex issue of housing for the newly-arrived ‘immivasion’ migrants (that no one voted to bring to Michigan).

Current shelters are filled to overcapacity as noted by the Detroit News, whose reporter also quoted airheads who think that repurposing abandoned buildings in Detroit to house folks from Syria, Iraq, and Venezuela is a good idea. Remember, Michigan is among the top ten states for refugee resettlement (that no one voted for); the overcrowding is going to worsen.

Difficult conversations about culture, crime, colonization, buses transporting migrants, impact on schools and social services are limited to a dissident state senator or to a few residents. No congressman, faith leader, or academic really has anything of substance to say.

In the meantime, the cultural enrichment and diversity is far-reaching.

South American gangs have robbed upscale Oakland County residents. A prospective child predator from Mexico was found in northern Charlevoix County. The all-Muslim Hamtramck City Council voted to support animal sacrifice at home. A Palestinian flag appeared on a Nativity scene at a Dearborn church. And, tragically, an illegal alien drunk driver killed a 6-month-old baby in St. Joseph County.

The platitude-recycling chirpers are unfazed.

Dr. Alaina Jackson, of Global Detroit, is decisive: “More immigration is the key to economic growth.”

Kurt Metzger, who worked for Data Driven Detroit, offered the Great Replacement money quote: “We need educated immigrants, and we also need lower-educated immigrants to do a lot of the work our aging white population doesn’t want to do.”

Steve Tobocman, also of Global Detroit, is an architect of “immigrant economic development.” Who knew? DEI backwards!?

Growing Michigan Together, a council created by the Whitmer Administration, is firmly on board with the Democrat voter recruitment scam: “Michigan must expand efforts to remove barriers and create inclusive places to attract and retain immigrants and diverse populations.”

It’s startling how invested in Growth, Inc. these NGO progressives are. Whatever happened to championing preservation, low density, less materialism, and greener communities?

Newsflash: Hawking immigrants, as economic assets, is crude, cold, and wrong. America is an ideal, founded by freedom fighters who believed in the Judeo-Christian ethic, the Bill of Rights, and low immigration numbers. It is not a global boarding house or a green card for the world that its detractors are co-opting it to become.

And, sorry, as the American Dream grows increasingly out of reach for the native born, why do these boosters believe it’s going to be any easier for folks who don’t speak English and who are dependent on borrowed public funds? And how long before the migrant children catch on, at school, that there’s an iron-clad, two-tiered class system in their new homeland (just like in their previous homeland): Those that govern v. those that wash the dishes and make the beds of the governing.

Look, we’re heading toward the fourth quarter of this debate.

What would Jim Harbaugh do? Well, he wouldn’t let the Big House become a soccer stadium, if you get my drift.
