    The Indiana ” Fix ” needs to be rejected by the public

    Language of the “fix” is here. And I have to ask, why does it say “does not authorize” instead of “prohibits”?

    US food giant Kraft is being accused of manipulating the price of wheat.

    The US Commodity and Futures Commission (CTFC) alleges it and its former subsidiary Mondelez Global bought $90m (£61m) of wheat futures but had no intention of taking delivery of it.

    The CTFC said their huge purchase raised the price of the commodity and earned them a profit of $5.4m.

    Kraft recently agreed a merger with Heinz in a move that would create the world’s fifth largest food company.

    The regulator wants to apply a permanent injunction on future violations as well as to apply financial penalties.

    Good morning all of TODville. It’s always a beautiful day when we have President Obama to lead us. Love all the memories. And thanks for the great Pete Souza interview.

    It is spring in Montana. The apple blossoms are out. All my flowers are coming up and my lilacs are budding. It’s way too early.

    Long day. Well be coming here for all the updates. Thanks to Chips and NW for being the best journalists.

    I sure hope that “intent to join ISIS” is a capital crime and requires capital punishment (whatever it may be).

          Departure of President Obama to KY delayed. Statement, then presser by Sharif. Then presser by Kerry. Let’s see how much coverage this gets.
          According to NY Times the press conference starts on or about 1:00 EST. The press is being provided with busses to take them to the Rolex Center where the event will be held.
          OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      bad few days for the Anti-President Obama coalition.
      “When you come at the King you best not miss.”
      Boehner went to israel and was ignored. No joint presser with the Blood-soaked Bully named Bibi.
      Menendez circling the drain.

      I, on the other hand, am walking in sunshine.

      Yes….she may have to stop in Israel and give Bibi a hug on her way home..

      BooHooHoo.

      She is upset because she has no ” on the record ” information to spew.

    Today marks 14 years at my job. Hopefully there will be no 15th anniversary.

    • April 2, 2025 at 1:24 pm

      Lockewasright! Where have you been? Funny every time I thing about you a few days later you will post something. Hope you and all the family is doing well. We will keep our fingers crossed that next year you will be telling us you are either starting a new career, business, and location other than AZ or that you are celebrating the anniversary of having done all those things.
