The same traitors Same who colluded in Trump’s first impeachment and Russia hoax: Zelenskyy, Sullivan, Blinken, Rice, Nuland, and Vindman were the architects of Zelensky’s blowing up the peace talks. They are acting as foreign agents. This is treasonous and most certainly a violation of the Logan Act. Ironically, this treasonous act will have the opposite effect of what they intended – chalk another up to the law of unintended consequences.

Former White House adviser Susan Rice said Friday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that President Donald Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was a “setup.” Rice said, “Obviously it is a very sad day and an embarrassment for the United States on the world stage. But let’s step back and analyze what’s happened here I think there’s no question that this was a setup. You heard Donald Trump say at the end of that clip you played, this is great television. This was a setup. I mean, excuse me, Vladimir Zelensky was compelled to agree to a horrible deal...

Former White House adviser Susan Rice predicted Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that the cuts to the federal government currently underway would not end well for President Donald Trump. Rice said, “I mean, what Trump is doing using Elon Musk as his tool is literally dismantling the United States federal government. And it’s not just the people as horrific as that is laying off talented, experienced public servants who do nothing but serve the American people.” She continued, “It is. going to hurt average, everyday Americans who rely on everything from the opportunity to call the veterans administration and get the...

A while back somebody over at Ace of Spades mentioned that with 2 or 3 exceptions, every member of Dubya's administration turned into a Democrat. My first thought was "that can't be right", and then I got thinking. And it wasn't pretty. So I decided I'd go through and get the backup behind Ace's assertion. After going back and editing, this post feels like Apocalypse Now's Captain Willard and his trip up the river that starts out OK and slowly but surely becomes a nightmare. I report; you decide: Press SecretaryAri Fleisher - Not as bad as most of this...

By getting governments to over-regulate farming, elite oligarchs like Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab aim to take control over food production in the name of sustainability. Besides ‘degrowth’ and ‘net zero,’ one other dangerous buzz phrase being bandied about by proponents of the Great Reset is “nature-positive food systems.” The stated goal of moving to new food systems is to reduce nitrogen emissions, livestock production, and meat consumption. This is to be achieved by consuming plant-based products, lab-grown foods, and insects (as a source of protein). The moot question, however, is whether such a change is at all necessary? The...

Former Biden White House Adviser Susan Rice melted down on X after the Washington Post refused to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, marking a highly embarrassing moment for her campaign. Rice, who critics said actually was a de facto president under Biden, blasted the leftist outlet in a series of tweets Friday afternoon, first saying she is “disgusted.” “As a DC native and lifelong subscriber to the Post, I’m disgusted. You have lost us,” she wrote in her first post. Rice’s rage did not let up. Three minutes later, she mocked the Post’s slogan, “Democracy Dies in Darkness.”

Former White House adviser Susan Rice said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that former President Donald Trump is attempting to “denigrate and objectify the vice president” when he said Kamala Harris looks like his wife, Melania, during an interview with Elon Musk on X Monday night. Mitchell said, “In his conversation with Elon Musk last night, Donald Trump repeatedly attacked Kamala Harris’ policies. He seemed focus on praising her appearance, even comparing a new cover illustration of his Democratic opponent to his own wife, Melania.” On X, Trump said, “She looked very much like our great first lady, Melania....

Former White House adviser Susan Rice said Tuesday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that it was “extremely offensive and dehumanizing” to say Vice President Harris is a DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) hire. Host Wolf Blitzer said, “Donald Trump is already slamming her, Kamala Harris, in his words as being ‘dumb as a rock,’ his words. He says she’s dumb as rock, other Republicans are saying she was at diversity hire. What’s your reaction when you hear that?” Rice said, “That is extremely offensive and dehumanizing. Let me tell you what it means when somebody calls a person like me or...

Storing your rice correctly could save you from severe health issues.Once again, TikTokers are freaking out that there's a hidden scourge in the kitchen: day-old rice. Fittingly for a controversy about leftovers, many claims are nearly a year old — but that isn't stopping people from resurfacing horror stories, claiming they got food poisoning from reheating rice that was left sitting out overnight. "Being a med student means never being able to comfortably reheat rice ever again," second-year medical student Janny Garcia wrote in a viral TikTok post with more than a thousand comments. Another user — with a...

A team of engineers and atmospheric scientists at Harvard University, working with a colleague from the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has calculated the increased amount of methane being expelled into the atmosphere due to increases in rice farming in parts of Africa. In their paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change, the group describes how they recalculated methane emissions due to recent increases in rice production in sub-Saharan Africa, and what they found by doing so. Prior research has shown that methane is the second most important greenhouse gas (behind carbon dioxide)—it has been found to...

TOKYO -- Inflation continues to simmer in many Asian countries largely due to higher prices of rice and other food items. Increases in food prices account for 50% to 70% of inflation in the Philippines and India. Prices of rice, a regional staple, have soared due to poor harvests caused by extreme weather. Prices are unlikely to come down soon, as many rice exporters have grown reluctant to sell it abroad, giving priority to domestic demand. Concerns are mounting about a possible recurrence of the food crisis in the late 2000s. Inflation has begun to show signs of slowing down...

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stated that while President Joe Biden’s move to send a carrier strike group to the Eastern Mediterranean is a good move, it was a mistake to give up military facilities in Afghanistan, and that having bases in a country that borders Iran would be useful to help isolate them.

Since July 20, India has maintained an embargo on non-basmati rice amid the threat of El Niño weather disruptions.Neighbours Nepal and India are in a kitchen give and take. While India has started importing tomatoes from Nepal amid a record-high spike in prices in the country, Nepal has written to the Indian government to send rice and sugar. The first lot of tomato imports is likely to reach by Friday in Varanasi, Lucknow and Kanpur cities in northern India, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told the parliament in New Delhi, according to Reuters. Tomato prices have surged more than 1,400 percent...

India's rice export ban has triggered panic buying at US supermarkets, causing the price of a 20-pound bag to surge from $16 to almost $50 in some stores. The south Asian country, which accounts for 40 percent of world rice exports, ordered a halt to its largest rice export category, non-basmati rice, on Thursday to calm domestic prices, sparking fears of global shortages. Videos and reports shared on social media over the weekend show Indian-Americans standing in long lines or panic-buying rice in Texas, Michigan, New Jersey Alabama, Ohio, Illinois and California. Some stores have hiked the price of a...

Rice is a staple food for billions of people in Asia and Africa. It's also a versatile ingredient for many iconic dishes from around the world, including dolmades from Greece, risottos from Italy, paella from Spain, and rice puddings from the United Kingdom. Despite its universal appeal, the question asked in every kitchen, be it a professional one or your own home, is whether you should pre-wash (or rinse) your rice before cooking. What do chefs and cooks say? Culinary experts claim pre-washing rice reduces the amount of starch coming from the rice grains. You can see this in the...

President Biden announced on Monday that his domestic policy adviser Susan Rice will be stepping down from her role. Rice, who has been in the role since the beginning of the administration, handled politically-charged issues from gun violence to student loans in her portfolio. Biden praised her in a statement, saying, “there is no one more capable, and more determined to get important things done for the American people than Susan Rice.” “[W]hat sets her apart as a leader and colleague is the seriousness with which she takes her role and the urgency and tenacity she brings, her bias towards...

From China to the U.S. to the European Union, rice production is falling and driving up prices for more than 3.5 billion people across the globe, particularly in Asia-Pacific – which consumes 90% of the world’s rice. The global rice market is set to log its largest shortfall in two decades in 2023, according to Fitch Solutions. And a deficit of this magnitude for one of the world’s most cultivated grains will hurt major importers, analysts told CNBC. “At the global level, the most evident impact of the global rice deficit has been, and still is, decade-high rice prices,” Fitch...

There is a war on food.No, that is not an overstatement. It is a fact. A fact for which the evidence is so overwhelming that only a liberal could deny it.You already know about the war on beef…all meat, in fact. That’s the reasoning behind the push to normalize eating insects.There is a war on farming as well. What do you think those Dutch farmers are protesting about? The forced closures of farms, which is justified by the effects of farming on global warming.Now we are being told by the Left that it’s time to go to war against rice....
