They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats. And now, they’re banning the cows.
Or so says Donald Trump. No bull!
“Kamala even wants to pass laws to outlaw red meat to stop climate change,” Donald Trump told supporters in North Carolina. “That means no more cows. You know, this is serious.”
Ruminate on that.
“She wants to get rid of your cows. No more cows,” Trump warned an audience in Georgia.

If you are alarmed by Trump’s portrait of bovine abolition under a President Kamala Harris, the good news is you probably wouldn’t have to look at it much if it happens. This is because, according to Trump, Harris is also planning to ban windows.

He held a Fox News event with women and proclaimed himself “the father of IVF,” then acknowledged he had asked a female Republican senator to “explain IVF” to him.
And his doomsaying has gotten even more outlandish. Under Harris, “America will be condemned to a fate of decline, desperation and despair,” Trump said at one stop. “Your family finances will be permanently destroyed. Your borders will be gone forever. Tens of millions more illegal aliens will invade our cities and towns. ... Medicare and Social Security will buckle and collapse.” He went on to say that businesses would be “worthless” and that Harris “would crash the stock market like in 1929, annihilate the pensions, 401(k)s and all of the retirement accounts” and cause “your income to plummet,........
