"Across the country, farmers are struggling. Prices for nearly every major crop are below what it costs to grow them. Much attention has been paid to Midwestern soybean growers, whose crop was at the heart of the trade war between the US and China. But farmers in Mississippi are perhaps worse off than farmers in the rest of the country. Rice is one of their biggest crops, and almost no one is buying."

The Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) is proposing a plan to slash the number of regional networks from 18 to five, just as the US Senate released a scathing report on the catastrophic damage the Donald Trump administration inflicted on the organization that cares for American military Veterans.
Trump War on US Veterans
The Florida-based conservative fundraising platform PSQ Impact landed a giant client this week, Donald Trump's presidential library foundation, and Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr, stands to enormously benefit from the deal.

"Amnesty International calls on Congress to reject any additional funding for ICE and to immediately take steps to hold ICE accountable for the deaths and other human rights violations it has caused, and to end these deadly enforcement practices. Not one more life should be lost. Not one more dime should be spent enabling this horror."

"On 23 Jan, at the direction of Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth, JTF Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two narco-terrorists were killed and one survived the strike. USSOUTHCOM immediately notified the USCG to activate the Search and Rescue system for the survivor."

**** IDF Continues Demolishing Homes in Gaza; IDF Soldier Proudly Posts Videos of Destruction ****
The IDF has violated the so-called ceasefire hundreds of times since Oct 2025 which some Democrats called out with a strongly-worded letter to Dummkopf Trumpf.
How people in the IDF or ICE can live with blood on their hands is breath taking.
The mainstream media (MSM) will continue portraying Hamas as the villains when all they are resistance fighters to colonialism, like the Zulus of southern Africa, the Ethiopians against the Italians, Sitting Bull against the 7th US Army Cavalry, or the IRA against the British.
If the resistance fighters of Hamas weren't Muslims, they wouldn't be treated to a double-standard where the flaccid argument "there are no good guys on either side" falls flat on its face under simple empirical scrutiny.
Who ever said that about the resistance fighters of the Zulus, IRA, Ethiopians, or Sioux Nation who fought back savagely against superior forces?
Even the three Palestinian oligarchs living in luxury in Qatar or the UAE are held to a double-standard: "why are they living in luxury while the poor people in Gaza suffer?", as if American or the 30 to 40 Israeli billionaire oligarchs live in squalor or danger while their fellow countrymen suffer from daily attacks, raw sewage spills, rampant disease, and wholesale malnutrition.

Excerpt from US Senate report on the DVA: "Cuts, Cover-Ups, & Chaos: Harm of the Trumpf Junta's Ongoing Assault on Veterans."
"Under the diabolical Trumpf junta, VA lost more than 40,000 employees in FY 2025, with 88% of those employees coming from the Veterans Health Administration. The net loss of employees, however, is closer to Secretary Doug Collins' inhuman goal of shedding 30,000 employees for the year. VA lost 3,000 registered nurses and 1,000 physicians. The department has shed 1,100 custodians, 700 social workers, and nearly 2,000 claims processors."
"As of 6 Jan 2026, the national mean for wait times for new patients for individual mental health appointments was more than 35 days, significantly exceeding the 20-day wait time threshold for veterans to be eligible for care. Some states are reporting more than double the wait time threshold, with 40 to 60 day wait times, including Maine (61 days) and Maryland (54 days)."
"VA mental health clinicians are leaving at alarming rates. Veterans in some regions have been limited to eight therapy sessions due to staffing shortages, regardless of medical need. At one VA outpatient clinic in California, seven of twelve mental health providers left the DVA, citing return-to-office mandates. The wait time for new patients seeking mental health services at this facility is currently 134 days."

On average, about 17.6 US veterans die by suicide every day (Source: www.mentalhealth.va.gov ). Another report suggests the number could be as high as 23, nearly one an hour. The nefarious Trumpf junta also recently slashed $2bn from substance abuse and mental health clinics.
In 2025, ICE deported approximately 10,000 immigrants who served in the US military and in Minneapolis their agents recently executed DVA ICU RN Alex Pretti. The Trumpf junta war on American Veterans, "suckers and losers" as he calls them, continues.

According to misionverdad.org: "The main US target was not Venezuela's oil reserves, but rather the currency in which they are traded. By breaking the commercial and financial blockade and negotiating crude oil outside the dollarized system, Venezuela opened a real breach in the petrodollar monopoly that had existed since 1974."
A few weeks ago one of our druidge.com contributors pointed out that Nicolas Maduro's illegal abduction was to benefit other OPEC countries.

"Good-for-nothing oligarch Donald Trumpf Junior who never worked a day in his life, is of the largest shareholders on the Board of Directors for the new platform's parent company, Public Square.
PSQ Impact announced the Donald J. Trumpf Presidential Library Foundation, the nonprofit arm running the president's legacy project, would use its platform for digital fundraising.
The company's pricing page lists a 3.5% processing fee for payments. A client like Trumpf's foundation could mean a profit boon for the fledgling company.
Trump Jr. benefitting from the arrangement is "yet another disturbing example" of the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) monetizing the presidency.
"It makes you wonder if PSQ Impact would have landed this contract without having a member of the Trumpf Crime Family on its board," said an analyst. "If companies think they can land lucrative business contracts by retaining members of the president's crime family, that raises serious concerns."
Trumpf Jr. has been on Public Square's board of directors since 2024, but has a much larger stake in the company than most of the other directors.
Greedy Donald Trumpf Jr. was compensated with company stock worth more than $2.8 m for being on the board in 2024, almost ten times as much as the next highest-paid board member. The wastrel was granted more than half a million shares in the company that year."
Poor Americans that vote Republican year in and year out must be the stupidest people on the planet.

Dummkopf Trumpf may have been stupidly referring to either the "StunRay" blinder or the "Dazzler," a portable handheld Directed-Energy Weapon (DEW) that induces nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and temporary blindness in living creatures by scrambling their brain cells.

The USSS have these non-lethal DEWs in their arsenal, so the FBI, Delta Force, the USN Seal Teams does too.
In the 2 May 2011 US commando raid to "capture" Osama Bin Laden, a Seal Team Six member did not deploy such a DEW against him and killed the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks before he could face justice in SDNY.
"The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, says the fact that Osama Bin Laden was unarmed when he was killed left him with a "very uncomfortable feeling."
The Russians and Chinese have versions of these DEWs as well. The "Havana Syndrome" may have been caused by a portable DEW using high-frequency microwaves: Russian DEWs






FTA:
One farmer has more than 200,000 bushels of rice, or around nine million pounds, sitting in his bins, and had losses of around $600,000 in 2025. It is disconcerting even for somebody comfortable with agriculture's boom-and-bust cycles.
"There have been plenty of years in there where we have had a $100,000 to $300,000 loss in a year," he said. Usually, you make that up in the next year or two. "But we are basically on Year 4 of things being tight," he said.

Between Dummkopf Trumpf's idiotic tariffs, ICE raids against migrant workers, and the inter-galactically stupid idea of dismantling USAID which could have bought these crops to feed vulnerable people in the Third World, today's American farmers may be writing their own sequel to The Grapes of Wrath.
Good job, American farmers. Betcha y'all will vote Republican again in 2026 and 2028.
