Oh, and the price of eggs . . . shutting down governmental health agencies that track things like Avian flu which not only decimates entire poultry farms, but also may jump over to humans . . . very bad idea. First the cost of eggs, now the cost of coffee . . . soon breakfast will be unaffordable.

After President Trump hit Colombia with tariffs, President Gustavo Petro said his government will "raise import tariffs from the U.S. by 25%"

GOP says it wants to return to meritocracy instead of DEI. To them, DEI means not competent, not competitive. Instead they make a totally unfit, unqualified person in charge of the most powerful military in the world. Meritocracy? Complete FAIL.
