Intensive agriculture requires fertilizer to sustain maximum yields. Without it, quality and yield are reduced potentially creating shortages and price increases along the food chain.
This is a tsnunami building to impact consumers. I speak as a small operation farmer.

"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done β€” I’ll have that done in 24 hours"

150 US soldiers have been injured, 5,000 more heading into Iran today. Trump is a coward, criminal, five-time draft dodging piece of shit sending your kids to war.

To the parents who voted for Trump, if you have military age family members remember you are getting exactly what you were warned about. I hope your family member safely returns.
I voted for Kamala Harris and we damm sure wouldn't be in a war that was not authorized by Congress.

5,000 Marines are going to the desert to fight a war, Trump's going to Palm Beach to fight the greens.

I live in a rural county that is 900 square miles with ONE single small hospital and medicare/medicaid are big demographic users of the hospital. This hospital has run a deficit for the last three consecutive years, before reimbursement reductions.
This county voted for Trump.

Two terms MAXIMUM, and better if it is a SINGLE term as there are enough qualified people.

I simply don't purchase tickets to any performance or venue via Live Nation or Ticket Master - period. I view their fees as excessive and won't submit to financial manipulation. If you can't purchase a ticket for the face price, it's false advertising by artists and venues.

Ah, the stats are listed in Wikipedia - 3 KC-135's in last 25 years, from 1999 and earlier, the rate of loss was higher.

Thank you for sharing that information, the ARO is near 1 per annum - i wonder over how many missions?

We need to start a registry of health care professionals who have these restrictions, so that we can locate professionals who are willing to provide unrestricted services. That means even a unplanned trip to ER may require vetting a doctor in the ER in real time and asking for an alternate physician

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarterβ€”even the declaration of no quarterβ€”is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Our veterans have seen the cost of war firsthand. Yet, they struggle to pay the rising costs of Trump and Republicans’ cuts to the federal workforce and veterans’ benefits. Shame on Republicans β€” our veterans deserve better.

Would be impressed if this wasn't seeking handouts from the federal government, and your state self-funded school repairs, infrastructure, etc.

Follow the money. Core & Geo are making millions upon millions thanks to the largesse of elected GOP. How many senators and congressmen purchased Core & Geo stock this year?

My guess is that Iranian air assets are not quite as obliterated as we hear from the US White house. When was the last time you heard of loss of a KC-135 with highly trained crew members?

Those officials want to be ready to be transported to underground shelters, and to protect them from the general populace due to their unpopular actions.

Remember: not only are top Trump officials moving onto military bases, but not long ago, the president ordered the Pentagon to β€œstart testing our nuclear weapons” for the first time in 30+ years.

It's open for shipping. Except for the shooting. And the mines. And the potential for drone and missile attacks. But other than that, wide open.

And we could travel to the nearest star, if only someone would invent faster-than-light travel. The interstellar space is "Open for Transit" as well.

Cait Conley for Congress – New York's 17th District Cait Conley is a proud fourth-generation Hudson Valley native. She is a decorated special ops combat veteran and has spent her life serving America and protecting our future. Cait is not a politician ...

caitconley.com Her main webpage makes her sound like a female Hegseth... If she was running in Texas, I wouldn't vote for her.
