Trump Administration Works to Lower Grocery Prices
Trump announced that his administration is actively working on a plan to lower the price of groceries, particularly the price of beef.
According to a survey from Axios, 47% of Americans believe groceries are becoming harder to afford. President Trumps announcement comes as the cost of beef continues to rise at a record high, with them now being up nearly 13% in the past year.
In January, ground beef was $7.11 per pound, and by August, the price had increased to nearly $8 per pound, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

The IRS Can Now Touch More Than Your Bank Account
For years, the Internal Revenue Service was known for one thing above all else: freezing bank accounts when taxpayers fell behind. But times have changed. With expanded authority, digital tracking, and new reporting laws, the IRS is no longer confined to your checking account. It can now tap into a wider range of financial assets, and many people don’t realize just how far that reach can go.
Understanding this shift isn’t about fear—it’s about preparation. The reality is that the IRS has adapted to how money moves in a modern world. As digital wallets, app-based income, and side hustles rise, the agency is simply closing the gaps. But what does that mean for everyday taxpayers?
n the past, if someone owed back taxes or was under investigation, the IRS would focus on traditional bank accounts. Now, the agency has broader access and more tools. This includes the ability to monitor digital payments through platforms like PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App, especially when those platforms are used for business or self-employment transactions.

What Are The Chances Of A Food Stamp Collapse In November?
When the free stuff army loses their handouts, that’s when all hell breaks loose…
A classic saying among preparedness experts in the US is that America is capable of weathering many crises, but when the food stamps shut down all bets are off. In other words, when the free stuff army loses their handouts, that’s when all hell breaks loose.
The US government spends over $100 billion on SNAP programs every year; the largest single food welfare project in the world. It’s difficult to predict what an end to SNAP might look like.
One can assume the worst and be ready for a “Walking Dead” disaster in which angry mobs run rampant. Or, tensions might continue to simmer. Many people might be forced to simply get a job, and the welfare subset could decide to adapt. But they probably won’t.
Food banks offer short term relief, though, these programs can be easily overwhelmed in the event of a broad cancellation of EBT. … (Continue to full article)
Who’s Most Affected By Federal Cuts To DEI And EBT
The inherent threat of socialist programs rests in the fact that they can be used by a political party or a politician as a means to bribe voters from certain demographics to support destructive policies in exchange for handouts. The Democratic Party understood this well when they introduced “The Great Society” welfare programs under President Lyndon B Johnson in the 1960s.
The idea? Primarily to secure the votes of minorities and people under the poverty line in the US for the Democrats for generations by offering taxpayer funded subsidies that would eventually make these groups dependent on the government for their very survival. Specifically, the welfare system lured in black women and single mothers, offering increasing incentives per child as long as there was no father in the picture.
Uncle Sam is no longer your sugar-daddy….. (Continue to full article)
