It is now illegal for most American farmers to do what farmers have done for 10,000 years. Save seeds from their harvest to plant next season. Four corporations control over 60% of global seed sales. Bayer-Monsanto. Corteva. Syngenta-ChemChina. BASF. Over 80% of all corn and more than 90% of all soybeans planted in the United States use patented biotech seeds. Farmers sign licensing agreements that prohibit saving, replanting, or sharing seeds. Every season requires a new purchase. Seed prices have increased over 300% since 1995. In the 1990s, most farmers saved a portion of their harvest to plant the following year. Seed companies genetically engineered crops to be resistant to specific herbicides, most notably Monsanto's Roundup Ready system. The seeds worked. Yields improved. Farmers adopted them rapidly. Then the patents locked in. Monsanto deployed a team of private investigators to audit farms suspected of replanting patented seeds. They filed over 150 lawsuits against American farmers. Settlements and judgments totaled over $23 million. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Bowman v. Monsanto (2013) that patent protections extend to self-replicating technologies including seeds. Farmers who had planted one crop with patented seeds could not legally replant the offspring of those seeds. The biology of reproduction itself was patented. Today, the four largest seed companies spend more on intellectual property enforcement and patent filings than many of them spend on R&D for new crop varieties. The consolidation of the seed industry is one of the least discussed monopoly structures in the global economy. Corteva (CTVA) was spun off from DowDuPont in 2019 as a pure-play agricultural sciences company. They control roughly 20% of the global corn seed market and are the largest seed company in the Western hemisphere. Revenue exceeded $17 billion. Operating margins are expanding as they shift toward higher-value biotech seeds and crop protection products. The pricing power comes from the fact that once a farmer is in the Corteva seed ecosystem, switching costs are significant because crop protection products are designed to work with specific seed genetics. Deere & Company (DE) sits at the intersection of the seed monopoly and the equipment monopoly. Modern precision agriculture requires Deere's GPS-guided tractors and automated planters to work in concert with biotech seed prescriptions. The software layer that connects equipment to seed to data is becoming the most valuable part of the farm. Revenue exceeded $51 billion. The precision agriculture division is growing faster than the equipment division. For broader agricultural exposure, the Invesco DB Agriculture Fund (DBA) tracks a basket of agricultural commodity futures. When seed costs rise, crop production costs rise, which supports higher commodity prices. The farmers absorb the input cost increase. The commodity market passes it to consumers. The companies selling the seeds and the equipment capture margins on both sides. The seed monopoly is a toll booth on the global food supply. 8 billion people eat every day. Four companies control the genetics. I'm hosting a once in a lifetime webinar where I go over the exact things I know as a former banker and world class investor. 100% free to join.

Of course he spent $45M to stop it, it’s cheaper than the tax. And it’s absurd that someone has to lobby just to keep what they earned. That alone tells you the baseline assumption is wrong, that their money already belongs to the state. Also notice the framing. “He doesn’t want to pay 5%.” That’s not 5% total, it’s an additional 5% on top of everything already taken. And what does it fund? Not solutions, but a system that consistently spends more, delivers less, and then demands even more to fix the problems it created. Politicians don’t ask, “what have we achieved with what we’ve already taken?” They ask, “where else can we take from?” There’s no accountability, only escalation. And the fact that resisting that requires millions in lobbying should be the biggest red flag of all.

NEW: Google co-founder Sergey Brin spent $45 million to stop a California wealth tax. He's worth $222 billion, and doesn't want to 5% of that going to fund health care in his state. Right now he has a powerful ally — Gavin Newsom. But the people of California feel differently.

Anyone who claims asylum and then travels back to the country they supposedly fled should be instantly and permanently disqualified. If the country is safe enough for a holiday, it is safe enough to stay in. It’s almost unbelievable that this even has to be said.
Simon Hankinson@WatchfulWaiter1

These cases illustrate how utterly shot the US asylum process is. These were children of regime leaders claiming to be oppressed by that same regime - and going back for visits. Yet they got asylum, LPR, and damn near citizenship.

BREAKING: THE FIRST CITY HAS FALLEN. 🇮🇷🔥 ​To everyone who said regime change would never happen: LOOK AGAIN. It is happening. Right now. In the streets of Abdanan, the Iranian people have done the unthinkable. They have taken back their city. The local police didn’t just stop—they laid down their weapons and sided with the people. 🤝✊ ​Let’s be clear: This isn't the work of Trump. This isn't the work of Netanyahu. This isn't about foreign militaries. ​The regime’s Army, Navy, and Air Force have been gutted from the inside, and now the Iranian people are the ones who are armed, angry, and unstoppable. They aren't waiting for a savior—they are saving themselves. ​The streets are on fire. The old guard is crumbling. The people are rising to take back what was stolen from them decades ago. ​History is being written in blood and fire tonight. Abdanan was the first. It will not be the last. ​THE REVOLUTION IS HERE. Regime Change in progress.

🚨BREAKING: 🚨 RINO Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Governor Brian Kemp have quietly contracted with DOMINION VOTING MACHINES AND SMARTMATIC to conduct the 2026 midterm elections in the state of Georgia and are alleged to have PERSONALLY POCKETED A LARGE PORTION of the MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR state government contract. Much like the STOLEN election of 2020, Democrat and RINO Secretaries of State and Governors are reportedly once again teaming up with their old pals at these ELECTION RIGGING companies to conduct yet another FRAUDULENT ELECTION against the will of the American people in order to enrich themselves - Like they didn't already have enough from last time. The conduct of these TRAITORS would make a great episode of American Greed... Hopefully our new Attorney General will actually start MAKING ARRESTS! 🚨📢🇺🇸

Who funds Mikva's DC operations specifically? Meta. From Mikva's own website: "Thanks to the investment from Meta, we are able to uplift the visions, voices, and leadership of young people – reaching hundreds of youth across DC."

Here is: Another way Democrats stay in power: Omar Navarro: “I ran against Congresswoman Maxine Waters in the 2016, 2018, and 2020 elections. In 2018, Maxine Waters asked the Department of Justice to investigate me—to look into me.” “Six years after the matter, the FBI and the Department of Justice came after me and indicted me for taking a stand and fighting against the radical left in the state of California.” The FBI raided his mother’s home—located in a retirement community—with a team of 20 armed agents. They also targeted his campaign staffer, who earned barely $10,000 a year. Meanwhile, Maxine Waters has funneled more than $2 million in campaign funds to her own daughter. The Democratic Party is the single greatest racketeering operation on the planet, with every federal agency—from the FBI to the DNI, and from the DOJ to the CIA—on standby.

BREAKING: DHS tells @FoxNews that this “asylum seeker” is actually a Honduran illegal alien who has had a final deportation order since 2018, & when ICE targeted him in Baltimore, he fled in his vehicle at high speeds, slammed on his brakes and caused a multi car pileup, then he bailed out and ran away on foot before being chased down and arrested. DHS says two ICE agents were hospitalized as a result of the crash, and they are accusing Sen. Van Hollen (D-MD) of misrepresenting what happened here.
Senator Chris Van Hollen@ChrisVanHollen

🚨 Ever Alvarenga, an asylum seeker, was driving to work Thursday morning when he was rear-ended by an ICE vehicle. He is still in the hospital after suffering significant injuries to his head, chest, back, & hands.   After the accident, he was detained & ICE now refuses to allow his attorneys to meet with him privately, a clear denial of the due process rights afforded to all under our Constitution.   ICE tactics are endangering our communities & violating the Constitution.

Mikva also receives $951,000 in government grants, 15.4% of their $6.2M annual revenue. Tax dollars funding a mandatory curriculum that teaches "privilege and oppression" to kids in a school system where 79% aren't college-ready.

Flashback: 13-years-old girl in Somalia was raped by a grown Muslim man. Instead of punishing him, the Islamic Sharia court sentenced HER to death. t.co/DWR1YrZlFR Why? Because her Muslim attacker—a married man—claimed she had “seduced” him by simply existing in public. The local Islamic court agreed and ruled that she was guilty of adultery. Hundreds of Muslim men gathered to stone her to death in cold blood. They laughed, cheered, and shouted “Allahu Akbar” while she screamed in agony and begged for mercy. 🚨 THIS is Sharia justice. THIS is what “progressives” defend when they push Islamic law as a legitimate legal system. 🚨 Here is link to a report about this horrific incident: nbcnews.com/id/wbna2748497…

🧵DC JURY POOL THREAD: DC students can't read. But they can convict. DC spends more per student than anywhere in America, $31,629/year. Most kids can't read at grade level. But DCPS found the time to make progressive activist training mandatory for every student, grades 6-12. Those students become DC jurors. Full receipts below. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
