With Operation Epstein Fury mucking up the straight of Hormuz, American farmers are having a tough time obtaining fertilizer. The Trump White House has decided to address their challenge by launching a website with a name parodying an ‘adult platform’.
White House Launches OnlyFarms Website, Internet Asks 'Who Picked The Name?'

The Trump administration unveiled the "OnlyFarms" website on Friday (Mar 27), which is housed on the official WhiteHouse.gov website.

In what is being dubbed as a deliberate play on the name of adult platform OnlyFans, the White House on Friday (Mar 27) unveiled a new website called 'OnlyFarms' to highlight the Trump administration's agricultural policy. The site, OnlyFarms.gov, housed on the official WhiteHouse.gov website, redirects to a page that outlines specific financial strategies aimed at helping agricultural workers navigate current economic challenges.

"Curious how American farmers are benefiting right now, or exactly how much each state has saved?" the White House posted on X (formerly Twitter) with a link to the OnlyFarms website.

The OnlyFarms landing page features a downloadable fact sheet detailing the administration's support for the agricultural sector. The document outlines key initiatives, such as historic tax relief for family farms, expanded market access, and reduced regulatory "red tape".

"The Trump Administration has delivered over $40 billion in direct assistance to our farmers and ranchers, helping them recover from years of unfair foreign trade practices and the disastrous policies of the Biden administration," the website reads.

Additionally, the site offers an interactive US map that allows users to calculate their estimated savings under the Trump farming agenda.

Social Media Reactions

Reacting to the unveiling of the website, one user said: "I'm just curious. Who picked the name?" Meanwhile, another user added: "What are we doing here folks? I mean, I cannot figure out the thought process."

A third commented: "I feel for all the satire writers out there, it must be maddening trying to outdo reality these days."

The site was launched on the same day as when Trump welcomed farmers to the White House, flanked by one gold tractor and one red, white and blue tractor, according to a report in New York Post.

With 800-odd farmers in the capital city, Trump described it as "the single largest gathering of American farmers that the White House has ever seen". The US president also thanked the farmers for their support, calling them "very, very special people".

"You voted for me. I will never forget that," he added.

Once again, if it weren't for double-standards, MAGA would have no standards at all.
The Financial Times reported Tuesday that Hegseth’s broker at banking giant Morgan Stanley contacted BlackRock in February about making a multimillion-dollar investment in its iShares Defense Industrials Active ETF

Of note, one of the companies within the ETF is the only company that makes the Tomahawk missile, which Hegseth has blown through at least 20% of the United State's entire stockpile so far.

In the same way that it is OK for Christians to ask their deity to inflict merciless violence on their enemies, it is also fine for them to ask the said supposed entity to tell them the best way to use their inside knowledge of government policy to enable them to beat all their fellow humans in the merciless arena of investment.

If that report is true: remember that Hegseth knew (in ways that others did not) that Tomahawk linked shares were likely to rise soon. Other people didn't, so they sold him those shares at a price they would never have accepted if they had known what he knew. He was, essentially, cheating them out of the money he made. But (his kind of) Christians are fine with that, it seems.

In what may end up becoming one of the most blatant and certainly the largest example of grift or corruption by a single Government employee, Donald Trump has begun directing the State Department to move taxpayer dollars into his Board of Peace coffers … which has created no plans for any assistance in the Middle East, and which is controlled solely by Trump, as Chairman for life.

State Department sends $1.25B from other programs to Board of Peace

The State Department has drawn on funds for international disasters and peacekeeping to transfer $1.25 billion to President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, a person familiar with the funding said.

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., will introduce legislation Thursday that would redirect $1 billion of that money to the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

The bill, shared first with Semafor, comes as the war in Iran spikes energy costs. “Instead of giving President Trump a $1 billion blank check to fund a ‘Board of Peace’ that has offered no transparency about how it is investing its money, let’s focus on helping American families afford their monthly power bill,” Cortez Masto said.

The US had previously pledged to contribute the $1.25 billion to the president’s new international organization, which Trump says will rebuild Gaza. Of the State Department money, officials pulled $1 billion from international disaster assistance; $200 million from peacekeeping operations; and $50 million from international organizations and programs, the person familiar with the funding said.

Trump has said the US will give $10 billion to the board in total. “We have nothing to announce at this time,” a State Department spokesperson said. The White House did not return a request for comment.

https://www.semafor.com/article/03/26/2 ... d-of-peace
A bit more follows about just who will be controlling money that ends up in the hands of Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’:

“… (U)nlike other multilateral organizations, the governance structure created under the charter rests most authorities in one person, Board of Peace Chairman Donald Trump, in his personal capacity. Separately, the United States occupies a seat on the board as a member state and would thus be subject to Chairman Trump beyond the current U.S. administration. As chairman, Trump is empowered to set agendas; break tie votes; arbitrate charter disputes; create, modify, or dissolve any subsidiary entities or the board itself; delegate any or all authorities of the board; appoint the commander of Gaza’s International Stabilization Force; and select his successor in a position he otherwise holds indefinitely.

In addition, Trump is solely responsible for selecting the members of the Executive Board which holds all the same authorities as the Board of Peace and “controls . . . budgets, financial accounts, and disbursements.” At present, the nine-member Executive Board includes mostly persons who either currently work for Trump or who have had close personal, professional, or past business relationships with him. With all Executive Board decisions subject to the chairman’s “direction and control,” Trump will retain absolute power over Board of Peace spending.

How the chairman and his Executive Board will manage donor funds remains murky. The charter does not set out oversight and auditing mechanisms or rules concerning conflicts of interest. And despite having approved a resolution “establishing the principles of financial integrity and transparency that will guide the board’s work,” Trump has yet to publish the board’s resolutions on its official website. In any case, with the chairman holding final authority over the Board’s budget, little opportunity exists for mitigating risks or ensuring monies will be spent in furtherance of the objectives set out in Security Council Resolution 2803.“

??? Since when is it the United States' responsibility to rebuild Gaza?

That’s not what is happening. Trump, using America’s money, is going to develop Gaza as a real estate developer would. And he will profit personally from doing so. With Trump, it’s always about how to launder tax payers' money into personal income.

Make that make sense. How in the world have we arrived at this point in history where THAT person has access to the White House? An insane religious nut speaking absolute nonsense from the pulpit is Dump’s religious advisor.

Hey, MAGAs, are you actually ok with this?
