      1. It is impossible to give any credence to anything said by Governor hair gel, in light of the fact that he makes daily contributions to the economic imprisonment of 39 million Californians.

    1. Given that both the UK and France have nuclear weapons, Trump may have to deal with their leadership as well.

    1. Happy? Why would they be happy?

      They’re slowly starting to wake up to the reality that if you make war on the United States or give aid and comfort to enemies, President Trump considers it his duty as president of the United States to kill you without mercy, apology or explanation. They never expected power in the United States to fall into the hands of someone serious about winning wars the only way wars are won—by killing bad guys until the last of the bad guys die, scatter or turn on their leaders to save themselves.

      That has now happened. And by the God they were sure didn’t exist, they’re afraid. Very afraid. As they should be. Fear of consequences is the beginning of wisdom.

      Liberals can no longer avoid making their choice to either stand with America or join America’s enemies in the graveyard of history. May they yet choose wisely—for their sakes.

    1. As we used to say at Canada Packers back in the day, “You can’t beat our meat.”

      1. Concentration in the agriculture business? Back in the day XL Foods owned by the Nilsson boys from Clyde, Alberta had a bit of a problem with, I think, listeria. The Canadian government kept constantly delaying the reopening. It got to the point that the Nilssons sold to JBS Foods of Brazil to save their financial asses. The government allowed immediate re-opening under JBS. They really don’t like Alberta in Ottawa.

        Back in the 1970s when I worked in the industry there were 4 large Canadian owned plants in Edmonton each employing between 300 to 700 people. The last vestige of the industry was Peter Pocklington’s Gainers plant. Across North America the packing unions had been broken. The other 3 plants in Edmonton just shut down but Pocklington didn’t have other options as it was his only big plant. He took on the union and eventually got a deal but it was too late and he damaged the brand so he shut down. The whole industry moved to southern Alberta and employed recent immigrants from Africa who prayed to Mecca but cut up pork for a living. A lot of Canadian livestock is now butchered in the US and imported back to Canada.

        1. JBS is a foreign-owned monopoly in US beef processing. It could stand to be broken up.

    2. New Zealand beef is cheaper in Canada where I live than the local product. How much do you have to screw up the economy to make it cheaper to ship beef half way around the planet than from ten miles down the road?

    1. ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE. HERE AT HOME AND IRAN TOO. MISERABLE COMMIE PUKES.

    2. Joe: well, this is an example of the moral principles the NYT brings to the table.

  1. Unsafe at any price:

  2. Turf war? Caused by deep-rooted grievances, no doubt! I say, turf wars should be fought with sod-off shotguns!
