Unbelievable...I was trying to find out how much protein I should be consuming and was directed to govt website [View all]

for a calculator. They had this at the top of the page:

“Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.”

This was on the USDA website. F….that…I’m not believing a damn thing on the website.
