Get ready to pay more for tomatoes and all foods that use them.

While ICE scares off farmworkers who pick tomatoes, the U.S. is ditching a 1996 tomato deal with Mexico to slap on a 21% tariff. A double whammy.

No one can accuse the Trump administration of smart consumer price strategy.

You elect a sexual predator whose closest friend was a child rapist and you doubted he was in on the action? Now you’re surprised that he doesn’t want any new evidence of his involvement to get out? Really?

Hotline callers were saying, “I do not want to be part of pointing a gun at US citizens and maybe shooting it.”
Is the US military poised to experience a new surge in conscientious objectors?
For troops experiencing ethical dilemmas, following one's conscience can be costly.

Red states, defying reality, are reclassifying gas as a “green” fuel

Red states, defying reality, are reclassifying gas as a “green” fuel

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell asked the central bank’s watchdog to probe renovations at Fed HQ.

The move comes amid speculation that Trump, who has clashed with Powell over interest rates, might try to use the project to remove the Fed chief "for cause."

The amount of mental gymnastics is crazy.

“The file is on my desk.”
“There is no file.”
“Obama and Hillary made the file to smear me.”
“Okay but actually there was never a file to begin with.”

“Bij 'Succulente' vind je alles wat je in een traditionele bakkerij vindt: van brood tot taartjes en koffiekoeken. Saïd ging langs om te kijken of de koffiekoeken eruit zien als traditionele koeken en of ze anders proeven. Hij was aangenaam verrast.”
Super! 👍🏼👍🏼
