Montana Senator Sounds Off: Race-Based Farm Loan Forgiveness
This is one of the most shocking things Congressional Democrats shoved into the so-called COVID relief package, and you likely haven t heard a peep about it. This is racism. That s how Montana Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) summed up the race-based farm loan forgiveness plan that was snuck into the COVID relief bill by the Democrats. He s referring to the nearly $5 billion in spending for socially disadvantaged farmers to get loan forgiveness from the US Department of Agriculture.
And just what qualifies you as a socially disadvantaged farmer ?
According to Senator Daines office:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The FBI arrested 32-year-old Isaac S. Sturgeon on Saturday, March 6, for his involvement in the Capitol riot that took place on Jan. 6, 2021.
Court documents state Sturgeon was filmed through a D.C. Metropolitan Police Department s body worn camera on Jan. 6 on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol building. Sturgeon and a group of others are accused of picking up a metal police barricade and shoving it into MPD officers, according to documents.
Law enforcement said they were also able to identify several social media accounts associated with Sturgeon, including an Instagram account with pictures and comments describing the Capitol events.
If confirmed by the Senate, Deb Haaland, who currently represents New Mexico in the House of Representatives, will become the first Indigenous Secretary of the Interior. “It’s difficult to not feel obligated to protect this land, and I feel that every Indigenous person in this country understands that, which is why we have such a high rate of our people who serve in the military,” she said during her confirmation hearing on Wednesday in front of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. “We want to protect this country, and that means protecting it in every single way.”
Fitting for the head of a department that manages 500 million acres of public land and the United States government’s relationship with tribal nations.
