Part of a complete audit of how the Federal Government spends the fruits of your labors includes programs at the USDA that the Handmaiden media are breathlessly reporting as canceled.

I was reading the latest from a fellow Grok contributor, John Klar, about food. He has a great Substack I both recommend and follow here.

Food prices are climbing, but soon will soar — inflation is ensured due to recent massive spending.

When animal products are no longer made by animals, what do we call them?

When people invent new products it would be helpful if they renamed them.
