The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday proposed a new rule for nutrition labels on packaged food and drinks that’s intended to help Americans make healthier choices at a glance.

The media is not covering this story anywhere as the establishment fears mass civil unrest. The Romanian people are understandably outraged that their government is completely ignoring the democratic process and denying them the right to vote for their…

At the time, the notion was dismissed by the pointy-headed arbiters of right and wrong known as the mainstream media, who concluded that Trump must see his presidency as an extended season of “The Apprentice.” In this episode, the modern-day land baron outsmarts the Scandihoovian rubes who didn’t know the “green” in Greenland was cold hard cash.

Many of these frustrations are understandable, but the remedies Mr. Trump proposes are dangerous. His disdain…
