    My answer is yes and not enough to be worth this stupid trade war. Your blog stated clearly that Canada is already doing things about cartels without your stupid trade war.

    It doesn't justify your stupid trade war.

    Inherited a growing economy, lays import taxes on groceries first thing

    Most of our imported produce comes from Mexico and Canada

    And, if Canada, Mexico, and China fold like Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela, what will you say?

    Most of mine comes from local farms or the Texas Rio Grande Valley.

    I'll say it isn't worth your stupid trade war.

    Why did Trump make such terrible deals, in your opinion, with Canada and Mexico last time around?

    We've yet to see if there's a war.

    Bad advice from people he shouldn't have allowed in his administration. They're not back and, frankly, he's doing everything he promised he would. I'm there for it.

    There's a farmer's market near where I live. I or my wife, or both of us, go every Saturday to stock up on produce. And, as long as my citrus and other produce is either locally grown or, from The Valley, I'll buy it at H.E.B. Before you start harping on meat, I have a large stand up freezer, in my garage, where I store my 1/2 Calf and 50 chickens I buy once a year. It will also hold any game meats I happen to ac ulate, during the appropriate seasons. Tomatoes, I get them from a nice little old lady in the 'hood, who always grows more than she can use.

    I don't know who Jan is.

    Now, if I want something exotic - that only comes from outside the U.S., sure, I'll gladly pay extra for it. If I think the cost is too high, I'll go without.

    Avocados, for example. I no longer eat them because:

    Mexican drug cartels are getting into the avocado and lime business

    In his first administration, he trusted people he shouldn't have. Yes.

    You have great faith in Mexico's national guard to stop fentanyl smuggling?

    In your opinion?
