Best cheese: Urban Roast’s ‘Glazed Halloumi Cheese’

Apr 8, 2024 | gwhatchet.com | Zachary Blackburn

Location: 916 G St. NWReaders’ Choice: Jaleo’s Goat Cheese Stuffed Red PeppersIf it were up to me, the entire food pyramid would consist of cheese. It makes everything better — burgers, pasta, dip, hot dogs. Restaurants have realized that, fully cutting out the middleman and performing a genuine public service: serving us cheese straight off the rind. D.C. isn’t known as a cheese city. I yearn for the cheese bars of Amsterdam, where conveyor belts deliver the finest dairy straight to your plate.

Independents think Trump indictments could be politically motivated

Aug 15, 2023 | nationaljournal.com | Zac Weisz |Zachary Blackburn |Jeff Dufour |Natalie Jackson

Barring unexpected new developments, we now have the full set of indictments for former President Donald Trump coming out of his actions to get in office, stay in office, and brag about the information he got while in office. Trump has not suffered in the Republican primary polls for his troubles. In fact, he seems to have gained support. But in the wake of this fourth indictment, watch for how independents react to the sum total of the cases against Trump.
In Iowa, Trump voters aren’t for turning

As DeSantis sought to get himself back on track in Trump country, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina sought to build on his momentum during a town hall to suburbanites in Ankeny—a more friendly constituency for Trump’s GOP rivals.

Bob Vander Plaats leads the socially conservative group The Family Leader. He endorsed the winner in each of the last three contested Iowa caucuses. The influential conservative spoke to Zac Weisz from his office in Urbandale, Iowa. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity. What does it take to win the Iowa presidential caucuses?

The campaign trail may be taking a toll on the 37-year-old Ramaswamy, who wasn’t as alert as he previously had been Monday. As of July 19, he had spent 34 days campaigning in the two early-voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire, more than any other candidate and four times more than the number of days DeSantis has spent in the two states. But talk of his family did put a smile on his face. He said his wife, Apoorva, is “actively involved” in the campaign.
