The fact that there are still American Jews supporting Trump is powerful evidence falsifying the stereotype of Jewish intellectual achievement.

The president has been very unequivocal in saying we have to figure out why all these input costs are skyrocketing," Rollins said.

Many U.S. farmers rely on Canadian potash fertilizer from Saskatchewan in order to add potassium to their soils. Over 90 per cent of Canadian fertilizer is exported, and the U.S. market accounts for well over half of that, according to Fertilizer Canada.

When Trump imposed a blanket 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods early this year, he lowered the tariff on fertilizer to 10 per cent after outcry from industry groups and Republican lawmakers in farming states, such as Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa.

That tariff only applies to quantities of fertilizer exports to the U.S. that exceed limits under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on free trade (CUSMA).

Canadian and U.S. farmers said in March they were facing higher fertilizer bills amid Trump's trade war. Some Canadian lawmakers like Ontario Premier Doug Ford had suggested Canada should block potash exports as a negotiating tactic in broader trade talks with the U.S., a move Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe opposed.

They've attacked that pipeline several times I think. But also it goes through Ukraine doesn't it?

Disabled people can get the personal independence payment (PIP) which has a mobility component, if they qualify for the higher rate then they are eligible to take part in the motability scheme Essentially you exchange your higher rate PIP payment for the motability vehicle. There is no extra cost to the taxpayer as the PIP covers the cost of the car lease. If they want to then the disabled person can pay extra to get a more hi-spec model, again there is no additional cost to the taxpayer.

I think there are two lines of potential criticism of the motability scheme. Firstly, how many people are allowed to get higher rate PIP mobility component when they really shouldn't be. Secondly, is the higher rate PIP mobility component too high?

The thing about the fancy cars though? Pure, unadulterated bullshit; and, instead of making that point, the government has caved...as usual.
