The New York Post reported that migrant children from Central America were being greeted at a federally run shelter in Long Beach, Calif., with “welcome kits” that included a children’s book published by Vice President Harris in 2019.
The article ran on the New York Post’s front page on April 24, along with a photograph of a single copy of Harris’s book, “Superheroes Are Everywhere,” placed on a cot at the Long Beach shelter.
How did a photo of one book become “Kamala swag for all the kids”?
Fox News quickly picked up and amplified the New York Post’s story. It spread to other parts of right-wing media and eventually became Twitter fodder for top Republicans including Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel, both of whom suggested Harris might be enriching herself with taxpayer funds.
Oops!
I guess Fox News also was playing with the facts on a real, red meat story. A university study had said that in order to restrict emissions it would help to limit red meat consumption to four pounds per year. They linked this to the Biden Administration and their desire to limit climate change but they really aren't connected.
I have raised cattle in the past and I really don't think they are that toxic to nature. We just let them graze on our 160 acres. Same as Elk and Deer do. Every now and then we treat them with grain. We slaughter a few for ourselves and sell the rest. Much less damaging to the enviroment than modern farming with tilling and nitrogen fertilizer, aquifer depletion to water the crops.
