"Capitalism without competition isn't capitalism, it's exploitation." That's a statement from the President I can agree with, but it doesn't help to have this sticker below advertising to consumer deceptively that the beef they are being sold is American when it IS NOT!! https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/price-of-meat-on-the-rise-as-companies-see-profits-triple-131476037953?cid=sm_npd_nn_fb_nn

We are still fighting and based upon the recent rulings of Justice Gorsuch we may have a very good shot! Please send up prayers if you are so inclined. This was filed with the US Supreme Court today - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S1gi1iynkKg4sXHfz9xASzFw9aNhgDea/view?usp=sharing
This is what Justice Gorsuch wrote on Monday:
By now, though, we should know the costs that come when this Court stands silent as majorities invade the constitutional rights of the unpopular and unorthodox. More than 80 years ago, in the shadow of a looming second world war, local governments across the country rushed to encourage displays of national unity. A public school in Minersville, Pennsylvania, did its part by requiring all students to stand daily and salute the American flag. But Lillian and William Gobitas would not oblige. As Jehovah’s Witnesses, they believed they could not pledge fealty to anything or anyone except God. When the children refused to salute, the school expelled them. See S. Peters, Judging Jehovah’s Witnesses: Religious Persecution and the Dawn of the Rights Revolution 19–38 (2000) (Peters).
When the Gobitas family sought this Court’s intervention, it demurred. The Court ruled that the Constitution does not “compel exemption from doing what society thinks necessary for the promotion of some great common end.” Minersville School Dist. v. Gobitis, 310 U. S. 586, 593 (1940). In doing so, the Court not only erred in the small matter of the children’s last name; it erred in the most fundamental of things. It took the view that the collective was more important than the individual—and that the demands of an impending emergency were more pressing than holding fast to the timeless promises of our Constitution. Id., at 596. In the weeks that followed the decision, Witnesses across the country suffered hundreds of physical attacks. Peters 72–95.
Eventually, the Court changed course and overruled Gobitis. In West Virginia State Bd. of Ed. v. Barnette, the Court finally acknowledged what had been true all along-that our Constitution is intended to prevail over the passions of the moment, and that the unalienable rights recorded in its text are not matters to “be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.” 319 U. S., at 638. Instead, it is this Court’s duty to “apply the limitations of the Constitution with no fear that freedom to be intellectually and spiritually diverse or even contrary will disintegrate the social organization.” Id., at 641. The First Amendment protects against “coercive elimination of dissent” and “was designed to avoid these ends by avoiding these beginnings.” Ibid.
Today, our Nation faces not a world war but a pandemic. Like wars, though, pandemic s often produce demanding new social rules aimed at protecting collective interests—and with those rules can come fear and anger at individuals unable to conform for religious reasons. If cases like Gobitis bear any good, it is in their cautionary tale. They remind us that, in the end, it is always the failure to defend the Constitution’s promises that leads to this Court’s greatest regrets. They remind us, too, that in America, freedom to differ is not supposed to be “limited to things that do not matter much. That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing order.” Barnette, 319 U. S., at 642. The test of this Court’s substance lies in its willingness to defend more than the shadow of freedom in the trying times, not just the easy ones.

“We were pleased and appreciated the Panel’s questions yesterday, given the recent issue with BSE in Brazil it drives home how deceiving the American consumer regarding the country of origin of the beef they consume is not just a breach of the duty of honesty by the Big 4 Packers, but it is a clear betrayal of the intent of Congress in the Federal Meat Inspection Act and as noted by Judge Lucero, clearly violates the limit of federalism imposed by the preemption statute itself.”

A group of New Mexico ranchers made their case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit over food companies allegedly deceiving ranchers by labeling beef “Product of the USA,” when, in reality, the cattle are raised overseas and are slaughtered and processed in the United States.

Oral Argument in the Tenth Circuit regarding the fraudulent labeling by the Big 4 Packers from yesterday is the second link if you are interested in listening. Long story short just because the label says "Product of the USA" on your beef, doesn't mean it isn't beef from Brazil with mad cow in it, this lawsuit is to make them stop falsely labeling foreign beef as product of this County. https://www.courthousenews.com/ranchers-beef-consumers.../

USDA labeling rules appear to allow the meat of animals that have spent almost no time in the United States be labeled as a U.S. product. But what did Congress intend?

This morning at 9:30 we are arguing why the Packers shouldn't be allowed to lie to consumers about where their beef comes from - listen here - https://youtu.be/ZtvlgtdyWgA

Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. ~President Ronald Reagan

Today we filed a lawsuit to preserve our freedoms. The freedom of bodily integrity, to due process of law before they take away your choice of profession, to raise your children without putting an experimental emergency use authorized vaccine in their bodies, and the freedom to not have the government interfere in your contracts. Hopefully, the tiny tyrant, Queen "let them eat waygu steak" Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham gets the message that some of us are still capable of independent thought and will not go quietly into her dark totalitarian night.

Kudos to the brave Plaintiffs that have agreed to let me use their good names to step into the breach and to give the tiny tyrant some well-deserved hell! Please pass this around to all who still value liberty and are capable of thinking for themselves.

So our law firm put our money where our mouth is today, we all went to have blood drawn for a covid antibody test. It is our strong recommendation to all small businesses to ask (not demand) that all employees that have chosen not to get vaccine get the antibody blood test done, same for all individuals. For those of us that are vaccine hesitant, religious beliefs opposed or concerned about side effects of putting an experimentally authorized Big Pharma money maker into your body, we recommend getting the test. First of all it is undisputed that covid recovered natural immunity is far superior to vaccine immunity, second if you are concerned for everyone's overall health we should be concerned about creating vaccine resistant variants through the use of mRNA rushed vaccines and finally, if in the future mandatory vaccination either from the government or through an employer become a reality for you it will be easier for us to argue in court why it is not necessary for you to get the vaccine if you are already covid recovered with natural immunity. After all, we don't want to end up like Edgar in the meme below.

So I think membership for the NM Cattle Growers Association should probably ask the staff there why they want to be untagged from this post!

We continue to fight on against the deception of the Packers lying to the American consumers about where their beef comes from and destroying the prices for American ranchers and farmers with imported beef falsely labeled as "Product of the US." Unexpectedly President Biden's Executive Order does much to recognize this problem and directs Sec. Vilsack to action.

Don't Steal - The Government (specifically the New Mexico Supreme Court) Hates Competition!!!

No big surprise here from our socialist Court (remember they have engaged in their own unconstitutional actions to steal from the citizens in their orders regards evictions and collecting consumer debt) that they aren't going to hold the tiny tyrant's administration to account to pay for the take over and shut down of thousands of New Mexico's small businesses even though the statute passed by the Legislature specifically provided that they had to pay to shut down businesses. No shock here - why would we expect a Democrat Supreme Court to respect the United States Constitution's Fifth Amendment with regard to Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham taking your property to shut it down for the public's benefit during Covid, when they themselves, with the help of the former Republican Supreme Court Justice have repeatedly violated the Separation of Powers to legislate their own shut-downs from the Bench.

This state and this Country are hosed for the foreseeable future so long as they keep us distracted arguing about red team vs. blue team... Here is the link to read the latest in the long train of abuses and usurpations by our government without consequence: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EZp1dmw8np7ln9qdqCtcKRqQcaS4ipJy/view?usp=sharing

Lying is wrong - lying to cheat producers is wrong - the end.
