Anthony Bourdain is just a little hard to swallow.

Just what is Bourdain trying to cook up and serve the Red States. At first reading it sounds reasonable "admit your biases and seek compromise. " Not so fast, If Hillary had won by the same margins as Trump did would this be his private position let alone his public position?

“The utter contempt with which privileged Eastern liberals such as myself discuss red-state, gun-country, working-class America as ridiculous and morons and rubes is largely responsible for the rage and contempt and desire to pull down the temple that we’re seeing now,” Bourdain said in an interview with Reason magazine.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in gun-country, God-fearing America,” Bourdain continued. “There are a hell of a lot of nice people out there, who are doing what everyone else in this world is trying to do: the best they can to get by and take care of themselves and the people they love. When we deny them their basic humanity and legitimacy of their views, however different they may be than ours, when we mock them at every turn and treat them with contempt, we do no one any good.”

Bourdain, a never Trumper from the start, said he thinks “the rise of authoritarianism” is a “global trend and one that should be of concern to everyone.”

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 production l

Obama Takes a parting shot at Israel.

Trump takes a call from Taiwan and the diprotic word has a collective stroke. Obama uses a UN vote to kick Israel one last time. The diplomats stand silent or cheer. The decision to abstain from the council's 14-0 vote is one of the biggest American rebukes of its longstanding ally in recent memory. And it could have significant ramifications for the Jewish state, potentially hindering Israel's negotiating position in future peace talks. Given the world's widespread opposition to settlements, the action will be almost impossible for anyone, including Trump, to reverse. Netanyahu's office said; "Israel rejects this shameful anti-Israel resolution at the U.N. and will not abide by its terms," and adding "protect Israel against this gang-up at the UN" in addition to "Israel looks forward to working with President-elect Trump and with all our friends in Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, to negate the harmful effects of th
