Trump skipping the debate cost him the win in Iowa. Or did it?

The votes are in and Ted Cruz comes away with the win. How is that possible you ask yourself? Donald Trump was leading in all the polls. The speculation on why is all over the map, with the most often heard is that skipping the last debate cost Trump the win.

Don't be so fast....Who is pressing this reason? Short answer, the media. The media was not happy when Trump pressed his point that they need him more than he needs them. The second place showing for Trump in Iowa is an opening for the media to press the point that if you are in politics they (the media) are the gate keepers to success.

The push to place Trumps no show at the last debate as the reason for his 2nd place finish is self serving for the media. It is a shot across the bow of any other hope full political candidate that, you must pay your respect to the all mighty media or suffer the consequences.

The reason or reasons for Trumps 2nd place finish in Iowa will become clearer as time passes.
The debate no show will likely be at least a factor in the showing. As for it being (the) reason.That is very unlikely. But don't expect the media to reduce it's effort to reinforce what they see as their exclusive role as Gate Keepers to US politics. They will restlessly insist that that the debate no show was and is the only reason for Trumps 2nd place finish.

Effectsof climate change on coffee Production.

Effects of Climate Change on Coffee Production Reduced crop yields are a result of drought in some regions and increased humidity and precipitation in others. For example, increase moisture leads to the proliferation of pests like the Coffee Berry Borer and diseases including ‘la rosa’ or stem rust. Coffee rust hit central American coffee production in 2012-13. As a result, prices for consumers in the U.S. jumped about 33% from 2011 – 2013. Coffee production is dependent on predictable cycles of rainfall, dry periods and temperature changes. Coffee typically flowers when there’s a dry period followed by significant rainfall. Generally, a dry period of three months is necessary to stress the coffee plant and produce flowers. However, a shorter dry period and extended rainfall can result in reduced flowers. Fluctuations in weather patterns such as precipitation, temperature, storms, strong winds, and other extreme weather patterns can negatively affect the quality and producti...

Israel..... put up or shut up on US involvement on UN vote.

Israel say it has proof that the US was behind the resent UN vote that is causing a diplomatic earth quake. John Kerry denies the charge in strongest of "diplomatic" terms. So will Israel have to put up or shut up? Not really. Israel spy's on the US as we spy on them. To "put up" would be to do exactly what Obama would want. To publicly expose there (Israel's) intelligence gathering ability for all to see would do greater harm than a UN vote. Obama and John Kerry are soon out of power. Israel knows it and Trump knows it This childish in your face move by Obama and Kerry will fade as surely as Hillary Clinton has. Obama takes a parting shot at Israel
