India, which exports 10% of the world’s wheat reserves, has banned the exports of wheat to avoid food instability in their own country. According to Barron Seger, CEO and p...

As a general comment, I think it is poor form to blow one’s own horn as a peerless, fearless reporter of the truth and then rehash some old canards. Cases in point: 1. No, illegal aliens are not taking jobs away from U.S. citizens. Unemployment rates are at historic lows and small businesses are still having difficulty in getting new hires. 2.
