Midwest Poultry Services is recalling close to 1.6 million white shell eggs and brown cage-free shell eggs produced in Texas, the Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday. The eggs in question have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella enteritidis, and were being sold at Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana, as well as Brookshire Grocery stores in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and New Mexico.

The company has stopped distributing eggs produced on its Texas farms, according to the FDA. Salmonella enteritidis is a bacterium that can survive on the shell of an egg or inside it, and could cause symptoms including cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, chills, ⁠fever, and headaches.

The salmonella scare comes after an explosive diarrhea outbreak hit the country from tainted lettuce produced by Taylor Farms. That produce contained cyclospora, a one-celled parasite, and has affected at least 41 states with over 12,000 possible cases. On top of that, the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite, has infested cattle in Texas and spread to other states, causing an estimated $1 billion in damages.

The Trump administration has cut a lot of the programs that prevented these types of outbreaks in the past, and now the country seems to be dealing with one food crisis after another. Elon Musk’s DOGE cut a monitoring program for the screwworm and gutted the team at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention responsible for responding to cyclospora outbreaks. Hopefully, the salmonella issue remains isolated, although the administration hasn’t inspired much confidence thus far.

Kegsbreth is the red one, RFK is the plague one. All we’re missing now is famine and death.

Weird coincidence, the 4 horsemen is a metaphor for revolution: (war + dead relatives) * (pestilence + rfk) * plague = death from guillotines.

    Wow! Who could have foreseen there would be consequences to putting some random fool with no medical expertise in charge of a nation’s health! Man walked into an interview and said how he didn’t believe in the basics of the job he was interviewing for and they hired him anyway! Why? Because some billionaires bought a bunch of idiot balls and handed them out to the government!

    Re the 4 horsemen with Hegseth as War and Little Bobby Brainworm as Pestilence:

    Musk is Famine, he shut down US Aid and millions have died and will die as a result. Not all from hunger and malnutrition, but disease as well (HIV, TB, malaria, etc). But little

    I’d put Dump as Death since everything he and the other 3 horses do leads to death. He started the Wars, DOGE cuts, Huge Hideous Bill leading to loss of SNAP and healthcare, his ICE Gestapo and their concentration camps killing people, appointed THREE SCOTUS whose rulings have led to death (loss of reproductive care and deaths of many women) and giving him immunity to do all those things. etc etc etc and he even looks like Death itself.

      Trump seems fit better as the beast of the sea/anti-christ. He even portrayed himself as the savior:

      He’s definitely a man of sin (treason; theft; pedophilia and rape; fraud; etc.). The one thing I haven’t seen him do is to deny the Father and the Son. But, he might work himself into that. Who knows?

      That leaves open the 4th horseman’s spot, but that could be just the culmination of all the other stuff.

        He certainly checks the AntiChrist boxes, including how he’s fooled all the “christians” to believe he was sent by God. I don’t know if he’s specifically denied God but he did say he didn’t need to ask God for forgiveness because he hasn’t made any mistakes.

          Hate is the opiate of the masses. Alot of people say its religion, but I disagree. Religion is merely one of the syringes of choice.

        Stephen Miller? one of the Heritage Foundation ghouls? any one of the project 2025 authors? They’ve probably done the most harm.

        wait, i forgot about Bannon. I’m sure he’s got blood on his hands.
