On August 6, 2026, President Trump signed the EO Ending Birth Tourism spelling out the purpose, authority, definition, scope, and exemptions contained within this EO:
Section 1 - Purpose - Citizenship embodies a sacred bond between the people and its nation and carries profound rights, privileges, and responsibilities. It is not a commodity to be acquired through calculated exploitation and evasion of Immigration Laws. Birth Tourism operators use deceptive advertisements and inducements to entire foreign national to travel to the US for the sole purpose of giving birth on US soil.
The immigration laws of the United States establish discrete categories of temporary nonimmigrant visas to allow foreign visitors into the United States for study, exchange, temporary employment, tourism, and other transitory activities that are now exploited by birth tourism operators. Participants in birth tourism schemes abuse these categories to establish a permanent foothold in the United States by securing the advantage of citizenship for their children and then potentially for themselves.
Birth tourism undermines the integrity of US Immigration Law by enabling foreign nationals to exploit temporary admission to gain permanent immigration-related benefits. The US has a vested interest in ensuring each visa category is used for its intended purposes. Those seeking temporary admission to the US must adhere to US Immigration Law.
It is the policy of the US to promote the integrity of its immigration system, ensure nonimmigrant visa classifications are used for their intended purpose, and prevent exploitation of the US immigration system through exploitation of the system.
Section 2 - Authorities - Presidential authority under 3 USC 301 and Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 USC 1185(a) section 215(a) is delegated to the Secretary of State or Secretary of Homeland Security to the extent necessary to implement this EO.
Section 3 - Definition - Birth Tourism is defined as (a) the entry of any foreign national into the US via a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil; or (b) any effort by any foreign national to facilitate the entry of any foreign national into the US via a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on US soil.
Section 4 - Scope and Implementation - The Secretary of State or Secretary of Homeland Security shall update rules, policies, operational guidance or other operational materials to comply with this EO. All other relevant departments and agencies will provide requested records to the two Secretaries.
Section 5 - Exemptions - The Secretary of State or Secretary of Homeland Security may exempt a foreign national from this EO when it is in the best interest of the US as determined by either Secretary.
Of course, there are already calls for lawfare against this EO!
Section 1 - Purpose - On June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court decided in Trump v. Barbara, 609 U.S. ___, 146 S. Ct. 2438, 2449 (2026), that the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution extends the privilege of citizenship to children born to parents in the United States “for whom no extraterritorial fiction applie[s].” This order identifies, non-exhaustively, and prescribes action concerning certain categories of children of aliens who do not fall within the rule of birthright citizenship as announced by the Supreme Court.
Section 2 - Policy - No US executive department or agency shall issue documents recognizing US Citizenship or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments, persons when neither parent of the person is a US citizen AND any of the following apply:
Either parent is an alien enemy, including members of designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations or Specially Designated Global Terrorist
Either parent of that person is a foreign government employee to include ambassadors; persons employed by a foreign embassy or consulate who are nationals of that foreign country;
Persons employed by a foreign government in an official capacity; persons employed by an international organization that possesses international-organization immunity;
Either parent is engaged in a commercial transaction to purchase or access birthright citizenship or engaged in fraudulent activity to obtain citizenship:
when the parent engages in a commercial transaction to ensure that the person's mother is present in the US or a territory of the US to give birth or
the parents engage in a commercial transaction with a surrogate present in the US or a territory of the US to give birth or
the person is born in a territory or territorial waters of the US where citizenship is not conferred by Federal statute.
Section 3 - Enforcement - The Secretary of State, US AG, Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Commissioner of Social Security are directed to take all appropriate actions to ensure the regulations and policies of their respective departments and agencies are consistent with this order. They will also ensure all their employees act in concordance with this EO.
The accompanying Fact Sheet President Donald J. Trump Ends Birth Tourism and Protects the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship explains that this EO safeguards American citizenship and ends birth tourism especially after SCOTUS screwed the US Citizens by allowing anyone born in our country to be a citizen even when the parents are citizens of foreign countries. This EO is intended to protect the value of American Citizenship as a priceless and profound gift. America is unique in the world, there is no other place like it. Finally, this EO is yet another in a long line of EOs signed by President Trump that puts Citizens first and works to restore our immigration system.
On August 6, 2026, President Trump signed the Proclamation Adjusting Imports of Polysilicon and its Derivatives into the United States which starts by declaring polysilicon as a base material for America's semiconductor and solar-power supply chains. The Secretary of Commerce has provide a report of findings on the effects of importing polysilicon and derivative products in which the Secretary advised that these imports threaten to impair US national security. In order to ramp up production of semiconductors a steady supply of polysilicon is necessary. Because the US outsourced this necessary supply, those foreign governments had increased their production (over 270%) creating a global oversupply and eroding US capacity for production falling from 50% of the global supply in 2005 to less than 2% by 2024 for polysilicon and 37% in 1990 to 10% in 2024 for semiconductor wafer fabrication necessary for solar programs. The Secretary recommended a range of actions from the establishment of a minimum import price (MIP) to a 15% I rate of duty to incentive programs for US companies to produce polysilicon and derivatives. After evaluation, President Trump concurs with the Secretary's assessment and makes the following directives:
Based on this report and these assessments, President Trump proclaims:
Implement MIP of $21 per kilogram for polysilicon; $100 per kilogram for polysilicon ingots and wafers; $0.22 per watt for solar cells; and $0.28 per watt for solar modules while authorizing the Secretary to adjust the MIP as market conditions require.
MIP shall be effective on or after 12:01am ET on December 4, 2026. US Customs and border Protection (CBP) shall permit importers to present documentation MIP at US ports of entry. Undocumented imports shall be subjected to a tariff equal to the MIP. For documentation that is less than the MIP, a tariff shall be applied equal to the difference between the amount entered on the entry documentation and the MIP.
CBP shall monitor and enforce accuracy of importer documentation. If falsehoods are present in the documentation, the importer may be permanently banned from importing polysilicon and its derivatives into the US. CBP may impose penalties consistent with applicable law.
Imports of polysilicon ingots and derivatives shall be subject to an additional 15% ad valorem rate of duty after 12:01am on December 4, 2026.
The duties imposed shall continue unless expressly reduced, modified, or terminated and apply in addition to all other duties, taxes, fees, extractions, and charges applicable to polysilicon and its derivatives. Products of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, or a member nation of the EU subject to these tariffs shall have a HTSUS rate equal to 15%. For products of the UK, the rate shall be 10%.
The Secretary, in consultation with senior executive branch officials, is authorized to approve onshoring plans as described herein. Onshoring plans approved by the Secretary, shall not incur 232 duties. The Secretary is authorized to take all actions deemed appropriate to implement and effectuate this program including issuing regulations, rules, guidance, and procedures. The Secretary is tasked to monitor and enforce all onshoring plans.
All products, except those admitted under domestic status as described in 19 CFR 164.43 will shift to 19 CFR 146.41 after 12:01am on December 4, 2026.
Modifications to HTSUS deemed necessary by the Secretary (in consultation with Secretary of Homeland Security, Trade Representative, Chairman of the US International Trade Commission, or other senior executive branch officials) necessary to implement this proclamation shall be made through notice in the FR.
The Secretary is authorized (in consultation with Trade Representative and Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing) to determine whether a trading partner has established an equivalent MIP and adjust the MIP and tariffs for that trading partner.
The Secretary shall monitor imports to determine if any trading company is stockpiling polysilicon or its derivatives before the effective date of this proclamation. If a trading company is doing this, the Secretary shall join with the CBP to restrict imports by that company and its affiliates. The Secretary shall inform the President of further need to alter this proclamation.
Both the Secretary and the Secretary of Homeland Security are directed and authorized to take all actions necessary to implement this proclamation.
CBP is authorized to take appropriate measures, consistent with applicable law, to administer the tariffs and MIPs imposed by this proclamation.
On August 6, 2026, the White House published the release Fraud.gov: Track the Trump Administration’s Relentless War on Fraud against people who are scamming and looting American Taxpayers. The new website, The Fraud Ledger, will make the findings of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud (discussed in my March 17, 2026 ANP Article) visible to anyone who takes the time to look. So far, the Task Force has uncovered almost $230B, stopped $56B of payments, and enforced $55B in indictments, settlements, and civil penalties. These legal actions have received hundreds of indictments and convictions. The release then lists, by date starting February 25, 2026 and going through August 4, 2026, that details individual situations and their current status. The release concludes:
The Trump Administration will not rest until every scheme is exposed, every recoverable dollar is returned to the American people, and public trust is restored. Under President Trump and Vice President Vance, the era of unchecked fraud is over.
On August 7, 2026, the White House published the Fact Sheet President Donald J. Trump Announces Billions in New Deals and Investments to Power American Mining to bolster American mining with $2B in critical mining and mining-related projects and over $100M in mining school investments and $81M in grants for South Dakota School of Mines, Colorado School of Mines, and John's Hopkins RTX Partnership. In doing so, President Trump is recognizing the fact that more than 1/2 of the current mining workforce is planning to retire over the next 3 years but mining schools only graduate about 170 engineers each year. President Trump continues prioritizing domestic critical materials and the supply chains that get them where they need to go to be used in various manufacturing processes. President Trump has focused on restoring the American mining industry which, in turn, strengthens our economic security.
On August 6, 2026, the White House published the release Private Sector Answers President Trump’s Call to Lower Prices for American Families after years of being battered by inflation. President Trump's leadership and call for others to follow has resulted in lower prices by major named players in various goods and services needed by American consumers.
On August 6, 2026, President Trump hosted the US Winter Olympics and Paralympics athletes in the White House. The athletes could not keep the grins off their faces as they listened to President Trump laud their skills, determination, fortitude, and personal & team achievements. After he announced each win, he specifically sought out the Olympian who achieved the medal. The 2034 Winter Olympics will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah and the 2028 Summer Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, California. As a special surprise, the US Olympic Flag Bearers presented President Trump with a jacket and a pair of sneakers. President Trump said they would take a picture with everyone then make their way to the Oval Office after which each athlete would receive a special Silver Coin minted especially for Team USA.
On August 6, 2026, President Trump signed the Proclamation National Purple Heart Day, 2026 (last discussed in my August 7, 2025 ANP Article) in honor of those who were wounded or killed during combat in defense of our Nation. General George Washington bestowed the first Purple Heart in 1782. It is our nation's oldest military award. We honor the sacrifice of our warriors in presenting this award. President Trump writes:
As we continue to celebrate 250 years since the founding of our great country, we recognize that the Independence we cherish today was secured by the blood, sweat, and tears of the men and women who answered the call to defend it. Today, and every day, we salute our American warriors who bear the Purple Heart and whose courage carried forward the enduring blessings of freedom. We recognize the families who share in their sacrifices. Above all, we pledge to never forget their service and to forever honor their indelible legacy.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim August 7, 2026, as National Purple Heart Day. I call on all Americans to observe this day by honoring the courage and sacrifice of our Purple Heart recipients and expressing gratitude to our veterans.

On August 6, 2026, the FR published the EO 14417 Establishing the President's Military Spouse Commission which was signed August 3, 2026 (discussed in my August 4, 2026 ANP Article)
All the talk about 'we won't go on our scheduled break until the SAVE America Act passes' was simply talk. A few Senators got soundbites out of it; but, in practice, they all held on to their assigned roles in thwarting the 80/20 will of We The People.
Elections are in November and I will NOT vote for an incumbent who did NOT vote to pass the SAVE America Act.
The HOUSE will reconvene August 10, 2026 at 11am. Since the Senate passed a piece of legislation that needs to return to the House before going to the President, I wonder if they will have enough time to pass it or if they'll wait another 3 days to hold another pro forma session.
The SENATE convened on August 6, 2026 at 10am and adjourned at 9:43pm. They held NO votes.
The SENATE convened on August 7, 2026 at 10am and adjourned at 4:56am on August 8, 2026. They held 9 votes.
Vote 231 - On Cloture on the Motion to Proceed - S5271 - A bill to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to require voters to provide photo identification - Rejected - 52-46 with 2 members not voting: McConnell (R-KY) Welch (D-VT)
Vote 230 - On the Nomination - PN1078 - Todd Blanche, of Florida, to be Attorney General received June 8, 2026 - Confirmed 50-49 with one member not voting: McConnell (R-KY)
Vote 229 - On the Cloture Motion - PN1078 - Todd Blanche to be Attorney General June 8, 2026 - Agreed to 50-49 with one member not voting: McConnell (R-KY)
Vote 228 - On Passage of the Bill - HR6500, as amended - An act making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2027, and for other purposes. - Passed 90-6 with 1 member voting present: Graham (R-SC) and 3 members not voting: Lankford (R-OK); McConnell (R-KY); and Tillis (R-NC)
Vote 227 - On the Motion to Table - SA6747 (Budd) - To strike section 2019 to SA6732 to HR6500- Agreed to - 61-32 with 7 members not voting: Boozman (R-AR); Cotton (R-AR); Cramer (R-ND); King (I-ME); Lankford (R-OK); McConnell (R-KY); and Tillis (R-NC)
Vote 226 - On the Cloture Motion - SA6732 - In the nature of a substitute to HR6500 (Collins) - Agreed to - 91-6 with 1 member voting present: Graham (R-SC) and 2 members not voting: Lummis (R-WY) and McConnell (R-KY)
Vote 225 - En Bloc nominations provided for under the provisions of SJR817 (74 nominees identified in my August 2, 2026 ANP Article) - Confirmed - 51-47 with 2 members not voting: Lummis (R-WY) and McConnell (R-KY)
Vote 224 - On Passage - HR5334, as amended - An act to impose sanctions and other measures with respect to the Russian Federation, as championed by the late Senator Lindsey O. Graham, and for other purposes - Passed - 86-11 with 3 members not voting: Blackburn (R-TN); Lummis (R-WY); and McConnell (R-KY)

So, the last thing the SENATE did before they ended their almost 19 hour marathon session is vote to close the motion and take the vote to amend the 2002 Help America Vote Act to add Voter ID requirements. It failed along party lines. They did not even bother to address the already completed bills that contained more than just voter ID that are sitting on Senator Thune's desk:
S1383 Veterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act of 2025 “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act” or the “SAVE America Act”.
More Kabuki Theatre! Force the Senate to stay in session for 19 hours, then as the very last vote before adjourning, vote on the Voter ID Amendment to the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (who came up with that one) instead of ANY of the existing Acts. It is almost like they are daring We The People to "do something about it". Some of them are up for re-election in November.
If they aren't voting for the 80/20 Voter ID issue,
A California judge, Jennifer K Rockwell, upheld the Attorney General's ballot title for Proposition 39, the state's voter ID initiative, keeping language that says the measure "prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification." The court said "voting" means more than simply submitting a ballot. Because Proposition 39 requires voters to present ID for a ballot to count, the Attorney General could accurately describe the measure as prohibiting voting without government-issued identification.
A federal three-judge court, Grant, Ruiz, & Becerra, has upheld several Florida legislative districts that were challenged as unconstitutional racial gerrymanders, finding that lawmakers did not make race the predominant factor when drawing the districts. . . . the Legislature largely followed municipal boundaries, geography, and other neutral redistricting criteria, so strict scrutiny need not be applied.
A federal judge, Emily C Marks, denied the Southern Poverty Law Center's bid to dismiss its criminal indictment on claims of vindictive prosecution, allowing the case to move forward. The court also refused to let the SPLC obtain discovery into the Justice Department's prosecutorial motives. She concluded that the SPLC failed to produce objective evidence that the prosecutors who brought the case acted with unconstitutional animus. Without that showing, the court held, it was entitled to neither discovery into DOJ's motives nor dismissal of the indictment.
On August 7, 2026, the White House published the release ICYMI: Statement from President Donald J. Trump containing President Trump's response to this ruling noting that 2 of the 3 judges were appointed by Obama and the 3rd appointed by Biden. Two of these 3 voted against the military center being built under and over the new White House Ballroom. He does praise Judge Neomi Rao's stance that this ruling was a blatant abuse of discretion wherein the district court elevated the aesthetic displeasure of a single passerby over the government's security interests. Judge Rao goes on to point out that this ruling forces the White House, which is the President's home and office an unsecure open construction site. Judge Rao called this judicial overreach and said that construction should be allowed to continue. President Trump vows to fight this travesty of 'justice'. President Trump has decided to appeal to SCOTUS as well as focusing on the fact that both above and below the new Ballroom will be military assets and the district courts do not have the authority to stop the military protection of the White House.
America First Legal has filed with SCOTUS to evaluate the 2020 Census claiming that the Census favored blue states and unfairly withheld electoral votes from GOP states. In addition, America First Legal is calling for SCOTUS to hold the Census Bureau to the Constitutional standard of an actual enumeration. I think they should put the citizenship question back on the census as well. Only US Citizens should be counted for Congressional allocation.
SCOTUS Judge Samuel Alito has announced he will NOT be retiring. Both he and Justice Clarence Thomas continue to serve our country as they make rulings based on our founding documents, the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Trump Administration Adviser Stephen Miller is fed up with the lower courts usurping the authority of the Executive Branch and he is calling upon SCOTUS to address what is happening in these rogue courts.
Note - Sensitive PRC Reporting from 2018-2020 DECLASS_REDACTED - in this document, the CIA summarizes a 'sensitive' report as follows: According to the CIA, the PRC policy leveraged domestic and foreign actors opposed to President Trump to reduce his efficacy and force him to resign or prevent his re-election in 2020 (which is what happened). The PRC actually began their work influencing our elections in 2018 based on what they could steal from our election systems about the 2016 election. The PRC exerted influence over individuals who had the ear of senior US officials. These individuals were invited to China for speaking engagements for which they were paid a significant amount of money and the engagements included first class travel and accommodations. They targeted think tank officials, academics, and former US government employees with a goal of having these people speak on behalf of China to the US President and other politicians. By 2019 the PRC had determined that they should focus on swing states in their goal of subverting the will of We The People. While the CIA does not explain the 'how' the PRC managed to undermine confidence in President Trump, we can see from the results that they were successful in 2020.
PDB 25JUN2020_DECLASS_REDACTED - the majority of this document is redacted; however, this document reports that the PRC attempted to blackmail US administration officials the PRC deemed to be anti-China in an attempt to force them to act at the behest of the PRC.
PRC (People's Republic of China) - there are 5 documents in this grouping:
Analysis on US Voter Registration Information - clean - declass marked_Redacted - this document found that voter documents from the 2018 election cycle was used for mining PII (personally identifying information) of registered voters in order to identify US citizens for conducting opinion analysis.
PRC Collection of US VoterMilitaryData - clean - declass marked_Redacted - this document found that the PRC had PII of US Citizens contained in the US Consumer database, US Voter Registration database, Georgia & Iowa State Voter Registration databases, and registered US Military Personnel Information database. [And they want us to go totally digital when they can't even keep hackers out of the US Military Personnel Information database?]
Target 2024 Election 2023 - clean - declass marked_Redacted - this is another of those almost totally redacted documents indicating that US Intelligence Operatives thought the PRC was preparing to target the 2024 US elections especially concerning swing states.
U.S. Presidential Election-Related Intelligence in 2020 - clean - declass marked_Redacted - this document details the type of information against which US Intelligence Operatives were implementing countermeasures to safeguard the 2020 election. The Operatives indicated that social media was used to obtain mail-in voting processing maps and procedures, policy change maps, policies altered by the COVID-19 debacle, and a process timetable between election results and inauguration.
US Voter Data 7 States 2023 - clean - declass marked_Redacted - this document indicates that 2020 voter data was purchased from cities in Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, and North Carolina as late as 2023. [So the irregularities extended into the 2024 election cycle?]
Summary -
clean - declass marked PART 1 - this document covers the topics the PRC would use to exploit We The People using the economic recession:
encouraging violent demonstrations and looting giving the appearance of social unrest
calling into question President Trump's ability to govern [I remember a lot of this was being foisted upon our unsuspecting populace by the propaganda media]
undermining the legitimacy and public support of President Trump [and it's still happening, propaganda media is 90% or more negative when reporting on anything concerning President Trump including accusing him of cheating in his recent golf win!] and
using COVID-19 to undermine public support and question President Trump's fitness
The PRC also used social media like TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media platforms as well as a variety of overt and covert influencers and media contributors [I'm sure you can name many that were most likely part of this effort!]
The PRC also targeted senior US government officials with social media in an attempt to smear their work.
clean - declass marked PART 2 - this document goes into a little more detail as to the topics the PRC exploited ahead of the 2020 elections:
Racial tensions: implying White people hate Black people; inciting demonstrations and marches [we were calling them mostly peaceful protests]; instigate conflict between police and activists; and insinuate resentment of law enforcement against people of color.
Foment tensions within the US military;
Inflame political party disagreements;
Spur conflicts between Congress and President Trump [and it looks like they're still doing this!];
Goad people on women's rights;
Stir up conflict about the South China Sea policies (Taiwan);
Rabble-rouse for alleged US war aspirations [still happening]; and
Create international propaganda.
clean - declass marked PART 3 - this document covers the PRC's interests in pushing the elimination of the 2nd Amendment (gun proliferation) and immigration policies:
Inciting migrant community against the US government;
Instigating demonstrations for human rights and promoting the idea of violations of the human rights of migrants [so this is where the no human is illegal comes from?];
Inflaming animosity between anti-immigrant and pro-immigrant factions; and
Causing anti-immigration demonstrations.
Frankly, I see much of this propaganda continuing as we move into the 2026 elections; however, I do note that it is slightly reduced most likely due to funding issues (thank you DOGE!), change of ownership of X (formerly twitter), and similar factors.
Tasking_3_AlbanyBriefingHandout_297E_HQ_A4095996_NotSerialized-JET-R RELEASE MARKED - this document contains a variety of charts, graph, decision trees, policy guides, and flowcharts used to both collect the data and then evaluate the vast amount of data collected.
US Voter Registration for 6 States - clean - declass marked_Redacted - on January 14, 2022, the voter registration information from US commercial websites were hacked to download information concerning voters in Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island. One record from Ohio failed to download. It appears that voter registration information from at least 2013 through 2021 is publicly available for download and it is known that one PRC hacker downloaded everything available. The PII included names, party affiliations, email address, physical address, and phone numbers.
WHTF Government Transparency - States Statement FINAL - This is the first disclosure of declassified intelligence reports by the Government Transparency Task Force. At least 18 states had their voter registration databases infiltrated by the PRC. More than 200 million voter records were compromised. The following states have been identified as having election infrastructure vulnerabilities: Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island. There may be others; but these are the only ones named in this first disclosure.
Chef and restaurateur, Andrew Gruel, is featured in the premiere episode of The Real Food Show (discussed in my August 4, 2026 ANP Article). He joins The Secretary Kennedy Podcast to discuss why real food can be more affordable, more nutritious, and easier to prepare than many people realize.
It's not about buying a new knife set and it's not about having all the top notch materials and equipment, it's about just understanding intellectually how food works.
Chef Gruel started in the restaurant business by chance, returned to post-secondary education to focus on the food industry, and finally opened his own business called Slap Fish with the motto fish so fresh it will slap you. The business went from 1 location to 45 or so locations that he sold in 2022. During the pandemic, Chef Cruel was outspoken about what he thought about all that and the State of California took issue with his words, so they slapped him with a labor investigation covering 23 different LLCs that contained his name. After spending over $125,000 on defending himself, the state abruptly dropped the lawsuit (which happened the same day the governor's recall was approved).
Now Chef Gruel and his wife have a youtube channel and began his own podcast called American Gravy where he teachers how to make your own Doritos. Their videos are geared for the whole family because it's never too early to teach children how to cook. Chef Gruel sees food as the great unifier and every family has stories that revolve around food.
Chef Gruel brought up the fact that he had to cut seed oils out of his diet because they were creating health issues. Through changing his diet, he discovered that making the food yourself is ultimately both cheaper for your wallet and healthier for your body.
Chef Gruel suggests buying the cheapest cuts of meat because they still include the fat, such as flat iron cuts from the shoulder, skirt steak, flank steak, hanger steak, oxtail, these are all meats that you braise for long periods of time so that the fat breaks down (like in a crockpot). Also, while some things are more expensive, they typically last longer because you need to use less of them to get the same result. The expense is in the effort you need to put in to do it yourself.
When buying unknown cuts of seafood, make sure you check the label. The US requires much more stringent labeling on seafood packaged in the US. For cooking fats, save the bacon grease and fats from the meats that are released as they are cooked. These will taste better and last longer than store-bought fats made from seed oils. You can also make your own condiments. For example, mayo can be made from a bit of avocado oil, a dash of Dijon mustard, 2 eggs, and some lemon juice. Blend with an immersion blender for about 15 seconds and you've got mayo. You can do the same with salad dressings.
