California’s ‘cage free’ egg ban came a the worst possible time to spike egg prices. On the other hand, it was a state move and the voters seemed to have voted for it. Traditionally a Republican administration wouldn’t have tried to weaponize federal authority to control prices in a state, in seeming contradiction to the wishes of the voters of the state, but Trump is not Mitt Romney.
And the Trump administration is right to fight California over the impact of its nuttiest animal rights measure on the lives of working families. Yes, states should be able to set their own laws, but should state governments really be able to effectively set egg prices, not only in the state, but out of it? Is there a role for the federal government in preventing state government abuses?
The real problem though is that California is in theory a democracy, in practice it’s rule by a small elite who get to advance their priorities and mostly get away with it. It’s a republic of the worst kind and despite the facade of a democracy, the job of the public is to rubber stamp the wishes of that small elite.
Some 7.5 million people voted for Proposition 12, which led to the Cage Free law, to effectively raise egg and protein prices on 40 million people in the state.
That’s not even 1 in 5.
And I won’t even delve into the question of how many of those votes were legitimate.
Finally, if Republicans want to make headway in California, they’ll have to show that they’re doing something. And Trump understands that taking on California’s abuses is a political winner.
Even to many in the state.
“Cage free.”
Those hens have access to free ranges but tend to stay in their pens. I saw a guy who owns those pens talk about it on TV. They don’t want to go out where Hawks, foxes and coyotes will eat them. They’re not stupid.
Yeah, lots of predators around. I see foxes a lot around here at night. Only saw a lion once. Saw a coyote walking up the street but he spotted me in 3 seconds, turned tail in alarm and loped away at top speed.
There are a lot of animal rights wackos around here, and court cases, since this is an agricultural area, but so far there is enough public opposition which has stopped the wackos to a large extent.
you know what else is cage free that needs to be back in a cage – these woke politicians who woke up with their heads up someone’s butt – as well as these podcasters and main sleaze media – indeed the lunatics are trying desperately to run the asylum
Cage-Free Nonsense there is no difference between the Caged and Cage Free just annoying PETA idiots and the HSUS mindless Banter

Technically that’s true. To be classified as “cage free” the producer need only to cut a doorway in the warehouse for a chicken to fit through. Caged and cage free chickens get the same growth hormones and antibiotics injection and fed things that chicken do not eat in the wild. Then humans come along and eat that tainted chicken meat and eggs which is unhealthy over the long run.
You are what you eat and if you’re eating chickens full of growth hormones and antibiotics, guess what you’re full of?
If you want to at a healthy chicken and eggs, try eating organic pasture raised chicken that’s raised on a farm that practices regenerative farming. To get the USDA organic certification requires that farmers not use any hormones or antibiotics or pesticides in any of their products
Bottom line:
Industrial raised “food” is very unhealthy. Unfortunately, most people don’t know and don’t care until they’re afflicted with some life threatening metabolic disorder. For example: CKD, diabetes, NAFLD, pancreatitis, high blood pressure, arterial plaque, hardening of the arteries, obesity, heart problems, aneurysms, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, various cancers, etc., etc..
What else can the Kings of California do to make life more miserable for their “voters’??? And as far as INTER-STATE Commerce , the Feds CAN affect that! Would anyone be surprised if CA rescinded the law against murder if it’s proven that the victim was a Republican??
The difference between caged and cage-free hens is that the caged hens stand on wire all of their lives without room to move around or spread their wings. Proverbs 12:10, “The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel”.
Remember when those annoying little idiots from PETA got Barnum’s Animals(Cookies)to uncage the Animals?
What is cage free in California is the lunatics are running the asylum – they got out of their cages – When I get cage free eggs that are brown or blue or other colors, the egg shells are tougher and the yolk bolder color – do I physically notice a difference? What I do know egg prices are down since President Trump has been back in office – It’s a no brainer that capitalism works and to get these fuck heads out of office is to vote Republican straight across the ballot and know in that bunch there is going to be RINOs as well as political hack lying whackos –
I lived most of my life in California and part of the public school system I was indoctrinated – then I grew up and started paying attention and learning on my own I knew the core of my problem was the bullshit of California school system where everyone came out the same rum-dumb even if they ended up with a bachelor degree or more –
So what was different about me? I can only say GOD ALMIGHTY has had HIS hand on my life since I was born – and Lord Jesus Christ Yeshua Messiah HIMSELF came to me in my sleep to tell me so – I wish I could upload the illustration of this encounter to this comment and the meaning and power of the appearance as well as HOW – HOW do THEY in HEAVEN do it? I would say in part it’s Heavenly Holograms – The point is see in multiple dimensions and if we are not in the struggle for survival like those in Israel and Ukraine – we have the luxury to improve and help and the best way we can help is not to complain but use our natural born Divine Gifts to solve problems = It’s a negative world – and all that is described in the Bible with the ways to overcome the world!
