Cattle rancher claims restaurant serves ‘fake steak' — here's how they get away with scamming customers
Get that meat outta here. In a world of various kinds of meat alternatives — it can be hard to tell what's real or not these days. A cattle rancher recently took to social media to share what he discovered to be a 'glued meat product' and is instructing others how to spot one when ordering steak at a restaurant. Rockin' W Ranch Cattle Co. is a family-owned Angus beef ranch that prides itself on being hormone and antibiotic-free. In an Instagram post that has sent waves across the meat-loving community, one of the company's cattle ranchers is seen picking apart an 8 oz. steak filet he ordered at a steakhouse in Weatherford, Oklahoma, that he claims is not the real deal. '…I should've known at first because it's really hard to get an 8-oz filet that's truly a filet because they don't get that big in animals very often,' the expert is heard explaining in his video. 'When it came perfectly round, I should've suspected something. I ate a little bit of it and thought, 'Man, something's not right. So you can definitely tell this is glued together. Probably a sirloin that's been tenderized and glued together to look like a filet.' The cattle rancher said he knew something was up with the filet he ordered. rockinwranchcattleco and thebeefstoreada/Instagram, and, thebeefstoreada In the caption of the post, the cattle rancher shared some dead giveaways that this cut of meat isn't what the restaurant claimed it to be. 'Since I raise and process around 100 cattle per year, I know it is rare to get a filet that big off of an animal. 2. Filets when cut off an animal are never perfectly round. 3. The price is another giveaway. When you can get a 8-oz filet prepared in a restaurant for $28, you should be suspicious,' the caption read. 'I'm not proud of what the beef industry does. But honestly, the manipulation is not the ranchers, it's the corporations that buy cattle from the sale barns where the ranchers sell their cattle. The beef industry or really the whole food industry for that matter as a whole is not trustworthy.' Some restaurants might be trying to scam customers with the steak they're serving. vladimirkolens – The post also took off on X (formerly Twitter), angering many people. 'Paying for a steak and getting leftover meat scraps bound together by a chemical enzyme is absolutely disgusting. That man should sue the restaurant out of business. No way should it be allowed to operate ever again. Any restaurant partaking in this disgusting lie must go broke.' 'That's so wrong on every level.' 'Is any food real in America anymore?'

Royal Caribbean crew member allegedly stabbed fellow employee, jumped overboard
A Royal Caribbean International crew member went overboard from the Icon of the Seas ship after allegedly stabbing a fellow employee. The South African man, 35, stabbed a South African woman, 28, 'multiple times' around 7:30 p.m. on July 24, according to the Royal Bahamas Police Force. 'Following the incident, the male reportedly fled from the scene and jumped into the water,' police said in a post on X, formerly Twitter. 'He was retrieved unresponsive and pronounced dead by onboard medical staff.' Police did not name the crew members. Cruise overboard incidents: Are ships equipped? "Our onboard security team responded to an incident involving two crew members in a personal dispute,' the cruise line's parent company, Royal Caribbean Group, told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. 'One of the crew members was injured, was attended to by the onboard medical team, and she is now in stable condition. Unfortunately, the other crew member is deceased after he went overboard and was recovered in a search and rescue operation." The Royal Bahamas Police Force is investigating and an autopsy has been scheduled, authorities said. Icon is currently sailing a week-long Eastern Caribbean cruise that departed on July 19, according to CruiseMapper. The incident is not the only one of its kind in recent years. A Norwegian Cruise Line employee was arrested for allegedly stabbing multiple people onboard during an Alaska cruise in May 2024.

Expelled ex-congressman George Santos to begin serving prison sentence
Santos pleaded guilty in August 2024 to felony wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges. He admitted to filing false campaign finance reports and falsely charging donors' credit cards Former U.S. Rep. George Santos, a Republican from New York, is expected to surrender to federal custody July 25 to begin serving a prison term after a wire fraud and identity theft conviction. In April, Santos was sentenced to seven years and three months in prison. Santos was also ordered to pay more than $370,000 in restitution and forfeit another $200,000. "Well, darlings… The curtain falls, the spotlight dims, and the rhinestones are packed. From the halls of Congress to the chaos of cable news what a ride it's been! Was it messy? Always. Glamorous? Occasionally. Honest? I tried… most days," Santos wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. "To my supporters: You made this wild political cabaret worth it," he wrote. "To my critics: Thanks for the free press. I may be leaving the stage (for now), but trust me legends never truly exit." Santos pleaded guilty in August 2024 to felony wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges. As part of the plea, he admitted to filing false campaign finance reports, charging donors' credit cards without authorization and fraudulently receiving unemployment benefits, among other acts that began years before he ran for Congress. A House ethics investigation found he had "sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit." Santos represented parts of Queens and Long Island for 11 months. He was expelled from Congress in a bipartisan vote following the release of the House Ethics report.
