1. Cassy Joy Garcia:

   I think bone broth is getting some new attention now with grocery prices on the rise and people wanting to do more with less, i feel like it’s an easy entry point for some good DIY kitchen basics. If you’ve already roasted a chicken, just go ahead and throw that carcass in your pot or pressure cooker along with that random onion in the pantry and scraggly carrot in the fridge, and lo and behold, you’re going to save yourself some money and have broth that tastes better and is better for you than anything you’d buy.

   You got something that's killing hundreds of people a day across the United States, and you got prisons who can't get death penalty drugs, so they're turning to the drug that's killing hundreds of people across the United States, this sounds like an article from the Onion.

3. Alan Watts:

   There is always something taboo, something repressed, un-admitted, or just glimpsed quickly out of the corner of one’s eye because a direct look is too unsettling. Taboos lie within taboos, like the skin of an onion.

   What’s happening right now with other brands is an insidious disease called brand drift, these places get new CEOs and new owners with their own ideas who don’t appreciate or respect the culture and components that made these brands highfliers at one time. We’re taking dead aim at Outback Steakhouse because I think their brand is drifting. People are tired of the Bloomin’ Onion. They’re looking for something else in a value-priced steakhouse.

5. Devin Nunes:

   What do I want about The Mueller report ? I don't care what's in The Mueller report. Matter of fact, I call it the Mueller dossier, what I want is the information underlying The Mueller report, so that we can actually look into it. Because every time we peel back the onion in this case, what do we find ? We find out that, somehow, higher-level officials within the DOJ and FBI were misleading the American people and the courts.
