There is a reported mustard shortage, as Canada has cut back world sales because of a drought. So we need for new places to grow mustard. Maybe Nevada can help by growing mustard, and then there is Kansas and Nebraska where they can grow mustard, and there might be parts of Mexico where they can grow mustard. It is all about supply and demand, as Canada cuts back sales then other people need to step in and grow and expand in sales.

Salute,

Tony V.

The nation should use the abandoned shopping malls to do climate controlled vertical farming and fisheries.

And in Wasshingto....

Buh-bye now.  Buh-bye.  Thanks for your "service".

Every so often, you forget yourself and show your true trumpist colors.

This would be one of those times.

Beutler behaved with integrity.

You mock integrity. And your anti-law-and-order flails at the merest notion of integrity.

Had she to do it again....

She would probably do it again.

But you would assume she wouldn't because you cannot conceive of that level of integrity.

Odd how you only cite the cases in which Trump's candidates are doing well and not those in which they are not.

"Odd" as in totally predictable.

The nation should use the abandoned shopping malls to do climate controlled vertical farming and fisheries.

For sure we need to support Future Farmers of America, FFA, programs for our youth, and Four H programs, etc, to teach the youth how to grow and make organic mustard. And we can pick up on the opportunities to sell mustard as Canada cuts back on global sales.

The best use of an abandoned department store that I have seen was "Club Metro" in Rubidoux, California, they had 3 dance floors, a lounge, a restaurant, etc, it was huge.

And Detroit has done some interesting things with abandoned buildings.

Of note, is that people need to be able to recycle electric cars, the parts need to be made so they can be recycled instead of just all becoming waste.

Salute,

Tony V.

With the high price of fuel, you can expect more people to buy Vepas, you can get a nice Vespa for about $7,000.

https://ocmotorcycle.net/vespa-oem/All/VESPA/

In Italy they all ride Vespas. Gasoline is expensive in Italy, and so they ride Vespas, and they drive tiny cars.

I would expect more Vespa dealers to open in the cities all over the OC, and around the USA.

Salute,

Are arranged marriages common in the African-American community?

In America I think that people of all cultures meet by introduction, people introduce them to people and they fall in love and marry.

My wealthiest friend from the Philippines wanted me to marry a wealthy woman from the Philippines, so they were going to take me to a charity ball in Catanduanes, and we were going to do ball room dancing, the minuet, the waltz, etc, and they hoped that I would fall in love at the charity ball and marry a wealthy woman from the Philippines. I was to be escorted by a cousin of the President of the Philippines, Gloria Arroyo, and Gloria was to be at the charity ball. But, my friend fell ill, and our trip was canceled.

People in the USA meet from being introduced by friends. And at charity events and balls, etc.

People also meet in school, and at work, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Thanks.

Only Vespas over 150cc are street legal in the US, even though you need a motor cycle license to drive the smaller ones.

Trump's problem, if he decides to run again, will be the same as it was at the last election...his faithful 74 million are not enough to win an election.

Why?

www.google.com

On Steve Harvey Show a young Black man asked Steve what he should do...because his wife had taken over all the space in the bedroom wardrobe, and told him to put all his clothes etc in the basement.
Steve Harvey's reply was:
"You better get your butt into the basement".
Got me thinking it might be an arranged marriage.

Most Americans support using the popular vote and not the electoral college vote to select a president, according to data from the Pew Research Center.

About 63% of Americans support using the popular vote, compared to 35% who would rather keep the electoral college system.

Yes!  I thank her, too!  A dedicated public servant who put her constitutional duty before partisanship.

Very shoddy and incomplete piece.  NPR usually better.
