Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:
“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”
Not blasting you, just a reminder for all of us. This was the end goal of a nationwide unified propaganda apparatus (Fox News, etc), pretending to work in the interests of workers, stealing Supreme Court seats, stoking hate/division, and implementing Project 2025. It worked. They have all 3 branches of government, are deleting knowledge and resources, decimating Congress-approved departments they don't like, deleting knowledge and resources, and wiping their asses with the Constitution they ignore. It's still worth resisting and fighting them every step of the way to fascism,I just hope it will be enough...
Best I can do is a new global pandemic. But with no public information from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and without working with the World Health Organization.
I can buy chicks from the tractor supply a half mile from my house for $4.99 a piece. They have multiple breeds there too. Been contemplating that investment for awhile…
You should go for it, raising chickens is surprisingly easy and they are a hoot to watch frolicking around your yard.
However, fuck Tractor Supply for rolling back their DEI initiatives
Search for local hatcheries to buy your chicks. Last spring, I bought ten pre-sexed female chicks (which, admittedly comes with the ethical concerns of what they do with the males) of random "designer" breeds for only $95 including shipping.
It is so hard when you lose one of the flock, and foxes, weasels, raccoons, whatever predators are in your area can smell them for miles and will snatch one eventually. But, for all the sobbing beside a pile of feathers I have done, I still wholeheartedly recommend that you go for it!
Right now we have three orpingtons, two brahma, one cochin, three golden comets, two marans, two plymouth rock, one silkie bantam, two sussex, and one wyandotte.
I had more bantams but they are really really good jumpers because they're so small and light, they can nearly fly, and they would insist on roosting in a tree... Their steadfast refusal to come in at night ended in their demise.
Oh dear, for the banties! Silkies, sizzles and frizzles are so cuddly. Had a cooper copper maran that was my baby, though. I really miss them all, except the mean Rhode Island bully. Enjoy your babies, they are smart and loyal.
I get them from the farm lady down the street for like twelve bucks, she even let's me pick out the one I want, who sold you a single chicken for $75? Shame on them.
I neglected to mention in the comment that the chickens I'm looking at are of the Ayam Cemani breed, which are pure black, including their organs. They're pretty coveted, so I was surprised that even those are very cheap!
That's true. We had a lot of chickens a long time ago, not enough table scraps, though. We kept them penned most of the time for their protection from natural predators, including our cat.
Chickens are simple easy and cheap. Source: I own chickens and it's not the first time
30 dozen eggs a month for ~$18 per month. (Is my current set up). Initial investment is really all, which isn't high if you have scrap wood laying around somewhere
I saw someone on the German equivalent to Craigslist selling a rooster for 5€ today. Said they had three home grown roosters and that's too many. It's a full grown rooster. I am both surprised that this is so cheap and that it's legal to just sell roosters like a second hand iPod.
