We are witnessing the end of The United States as we have known it for 249 years. What comes next, I don't know. I know there will be the Confederate States again, Cascadia, the North East States, New Mexico and Colorado maybe, but that leaves my home state of Illinois swinging in the breeze.

Holy cow, I had no idea! In your mind you picture something like toy bullets. This is awful!

“Rubber bullets“ from Trump’s 1st term. Rubber bullets are huge. They can cause horrible damage.

The US has finalized its $20 billion bailout for Argentina, a main US competitor in the soybean market.

This is a move that will only further screw over American soybean farmers, who're being priced out of their own market.
